Airaa (2019) - full transcript

'Today, Pollachi'

Sir, we are speaking in Ramapattinam

A theft case
We caught one boy

Control two on static walkie-talkie

Who's on night rounds
in Aathu Pollachi?

Please respond

- Madam, Sathyamurthy here
- Is someone there with you?

Yes, ma'am

A man called Mani has called from
the outskirts of Nithilapuram

- Where are you?
- We're nearby

- Please check and call for back up
- Okay



No peace even on a Sunday

Disturbing us at two in the morning

Didn't we sign up for this?
Let's see what's going on

Fine, drive there

- Is this the house?
- I think so

This looks like a ghost house

True

Surprising to see a house
like this out here

Fine, let's get this over with.
You stay in the car

Okay, sir

Open up, it's the Police!

Open up!

We might have to do it our way

How did the door open on its own?



Come

Is someone there?

Come out!

I said, come out

What was that sound?

Open the cupboard

Sir?

- Go on
- I'm scared, sir

Stupid cat!

Sir, what is that sound?

- Sir, let's not go further
- We'll see what it is

- I think someone's just switched it on
- What?

Yes sir

- Inform the Station
- Okay sir

Who's that?

- Sir, I can't run
- Come on...

What is all this?

Sir, I'm scared.
Let's leave

- Call for backup
- Yes, sir

We aren't getting signal

Start the car!

Hurry, let's go!

Three months ago,
Chennai

Idiot

Sorry madam.
Idiot!

Can't you see?

Sorry...
Idiot!

Brainless idiot!

Sorry madam, my mistake

- Dad, where are you?
- At the restaurant

- Floor?
- Tenth

Okay!

She's not here yet

She's here!

- Handle her carefully
- I'll take care

Hi darling, come sit

Why did you call me urgently?

You remember my friend Somasekar?

Adi, his son.
Very nice chap

He's here on leave from the US

We thought we could get
the two of you to meet

I've told you a million times that
I don't want to get married now

Will you ever understand?

- Hello uncle
- Welcome son

- Hi, Aunty
- Hi

Is this Yamuna?

Yes, my daughter

We didn't inform Yamuna about this

- Hence the mild surprise on her face
- Mild?

So what?

Aren't candid conversations better?

Yes...yes

So darling, shall we take off?
You guys chat

- Yes, let's leave
- Mom?

All the best

Come

Darling, talk carefully

- Okay, bye
- Okay

So Yamuna?
Tell me about yourself

Mr Adi, this is a misunderstanding

I'm not interested in marriage

My parents arranged this meeting
by mistake

Works perfect for me

I don't buy into marriage and monogamy

We only live once.
And youth? Just 15 or 20 years

Let's just get married

We don't have to live with each other

No pressure.
What do you say?

Look Mr Adi, thanks for the offer

True, I'm not interested in marriage

But an arrangement like this?
No!

I saw your Facebook photos

Office mates, boys, office party

You can do whatever you're doing now,
after marriage as well

What do you say?

You're leaving?

Aren't you in the Media?

I'm sure you must have had to
sleep around to be in this position

Why are you over- reacting?

You want to get married
and then sleep around

And if I refuse?
You shame me for it

Women who want to support their family
are crippled by men like you!

I think your parents' retirement pension
was wasted on your abroad education

They should've spent that on
rearing 15 pigs instead!

I have another qualm with them

Why they named you Adi
instead of shoddy

Stupid

"Are you made of your desires
or are you in disguise?"

"Or the physical embodiment
or a delusion?"

"Are you made of your
happiness or sorrow?"

"Or the sum of your thoughts?"

"Questions are many
Your life is the answer"

"Your life is the extension
of the seeds you sowed"

"Oh girl! Oh dear girl!"

"Where are you going
leaving your traces?"

"Oh girl! Oh dear girl!"

"Will you see
who is driving you?"

"Who is she? Who is the other girl?
Or both different?"

"Where are you going?"

"Search is on
Even after death"

"It is time to wake up"

"When the eyes open
You will appear"

"My shadow trails you
Where are you off to?"

"None asked for your desire
None supported you"

"None wiped your tears
Answer me, oh girl!"

"You’re seeking your destiny
Oh girl!"

"You’re seeking your destiny
Oh girl!"

"Your body, my soul,
your sorrow, my happiness"

"It is time for us to mingle
Come to join"

"Oh girl! Oh dear girl!"

"Where are you going
leaving your traces?"

"Oh girl! Oh dear girl!"

"Will you see
who is driving you?"

'White Elephant'

I've been married for five years

Okay?

We have two kids.
Okay...

But he has never kissed me so far

What!

Which one, sir?

- Okay
- Okay sir

See if you can use this on the cover

Let's not delay this.
Mail it soon, okay?

What's with the fierce walk?

I feel like I've lived a lifetime
answering all these questions

I'm really tired, sir

Inspite of your disinterest,
you are doing a great job

Accept it

You have a fandom of people
eagerly waiting to read your answers

Your fans

You think?

They read my answers, go home
and still fight with their wives

Why don't we start a YouTube channel
for our newspaper?

Daily news, live reports,
movie reviews...

We could even do a video version
of this advice column

Our viewership will increase,
we can go across the globe!

We could earn too!
People's mail 2.0. How's that?

YouTube?
This isn't time pass

Let's not get into the internet farce
and spoil our reputation

YouTube isn't cheap like you think

- Even BBC...
- Stop it Yamuna!

YouTube is just a phase

Everyone will jump on
the bandwagon now

Overdo it and then it will
die down in a few years

We're not getting into it,
end of story

- Hello?
- Can you come home soon today?

- Why?
- Come home, you'll see

Fine, I'll be there

- What happened?
- Looks like an accident

Let's go

- Congratulations, darling!
- Congratulations, Yamuna!

Have some sweet

What's all this?

Adi has agreed to the marriage

He said he'd been looking for
a girl like you all his life

He said, you enlightened him.
What did you say?

- Tell me
- What did you say?

Anyway, mom and I are ecstatic!

I can boast that I got my daughter
married before my retirement

And guess what?

Adi is here only for 40 days.
So we should have the wedding soon

We're so happy, you know?

You're happy, right?

We're all happy then!

We're very happy that you've
finally agreed to this marriage

It's late, get up

Yamuna!

Darling!

Where is our daughter?

I'm scared

She must have gone
to a friend's place

Don't be scared

We'll call her friends and check

Give me the balance, we will leave

You did a shoddy job.
I can't pay you!

One room is still unpainted

Just take whatever we give you

Mani, settle his payment

I should slap myself for
taking up this job

Correct!

- Who will he slap?
- Maid will be here at seven

Did he say that to you?
I'll whack him with a broom

Is he auctioning your house?
Everyone's been insulting us

Doesn't the matter

This gentleman seems to be
appreciating us

He said he'll slap you!

- I saw him paint. Did you?
- I am blind. How can I...

Then, shut up your mouth

I said I will slap myself

Just pay me and I'll leave

He's talking like a cheapo
and you're supporting him

Except for one room I've
painted everything else!

Just pay me and I'll go

Just give him Rs.500 and send him off

Why should we pay him that much?

You think you have a lot of money?
I won't pay you so much

I can give you only Rs.5000

No, don't give him that much!

- Take this and leave
- Wear your hearing aid, fatso!

- Don't give him that...
- I didn't hear anything

To win in a fight, you need to
tune out the other person

I let my cable loose and
let him run loose, see that?

- Come on guys
- Seems like he's in a hurry

I asked you to give him Rs.500
and you gave him Rs.5000!

I thought you asked me to
give him Rs.50,000

I can't see, you can't hear!
You will be the death of me

- You'll send me to the streets
- Stop it!

Go check the pressure cooker

You're the one who works for me!
Dumbo

No eyesight and she still
spits with aim

Who is she?

God's given her a one- sided face

Yamuna! Granddaughter's here to
add to the trouble

- What's the problem here?
- Good respect

Painting has to be done once a year.
Grandma makes it all year long

She pinpoints mistakes and
the painters lash out on me

- We have one room left
- Shall I paint it?

Are you an artist?

- Should I call Picasso to paint this?
- Who's that Picasso?

Keep the bag

Tell Grandma I'm home

Is he a bigger artist than
our 'Underpants' Murugan?

Now I need to find a way to get
Granny's property

Stop the ball

- Just sunglasses for me?
- Come in, baby girl

I've missed this house...

And I miss caressing
my granddaughter!

Parvathy!

Until now, she told me
I'm her whole world

The moment you came,
I'm forgotten

I had to scrub her back like
a Buffalo's every day

Fatso, I'll place a bomb in your
momos next time

Go, do your job

- I will eat that too
- I'm sure you will

Do you still do embroidery?

Born with the skill,
won't stop until I die

I've been waiting for that death

The funeral contractor
calls me everyday...

Music, flowers, dancers
everything's ready

- Hey!
- You can dance too

How did your dad allow you here?

I took off without a word

Why? Any problem?

That's a big flashback

Forget that, I'm very hungry.
Give me something to eat

Give me ten minutes

Okay

I saw you both in this area

Not us

Give him some money
and send him off

Find someone to take over his job

Don't call me for such petty jobs

Need your attendance for
the next 15 days. Understood?

Okay, sir

Good morning!

I will kill you now!
Murderer!

- Leave him...
- I will kill you right now!

Why are you letting him off?

Everyone knows his Lorry
did the accident

We're not letting him off.
You calm down

He's just going out on bail

You leave now

Face this in Court when
the hearing comes up

You leave.

Her pancakes look like donuts

But she keeps her face as if
she's a catering genius

Even after all your abuse,
that guy agreed to marry you?

My question too.

Do you know how difficult it is
to find a girl these days?

I know the pain

No wonder he agreed in spite
of all your abuse

You, give me two pancakes

You had seventeen pancakes
without a drop of water

Is that a stomach or a well?

Get lost before I whack you

Seventeen pancakes?

She can't see but she can keep count

Look at your face!
Looks like a mixer grinder

And yours too.

I'm leaving the rest in the fridge,
don't eat it off

- I'm going home, he'll be alone
- Wash your hands

I will wash it at my own house

Who's that?

His dearest son

You'll see him tomorrow

Have one more darling

I'm done

Hold on for a minute

- What are you doing?
- Warding off the evil eyes

Spit on this

I've left sweets on the table.
Take some

No way! I'm loaded

If you speak of dieting in
grandma's house, I'll get angry

If you make me eat this much everyday...

...I will become a pig for
slaughter in two months

I have to go jogging in the morning

- Take Mani along
- Okay

- Yamuna?
- Yes mom

Where are you?

Why do you come home drunk
every night?

Hereafter, I won't drink

I swear I won't drink

Don't cry

Is this a house or a temple door?

- Mani?
- Where is Yamuna?

Good morning

What is this?

I switched off the TV

I've seen Salman Khan,
I've seen Shahrukh Khan

But this is the first time
I'm seeing both in one person

Correct, we'll come back
from jogging and have Tiffin

Grandma is making rice cakes and
coconut chutney.

You don't like?

Lunatic!

Where did I keep the hearing aid?

Hi, good morning!

Why is she saying good morning now?
Anyways, good morning!

You sleep

Let's go

Warning, I will run a little very fast

If you can't keep up, stay right there

Or, take a share auto and return

- I'll try and match your speed, go on
- Worry not, we'll have Tiffin together

Why is she running so fast?

I'm getting palpitations already

Yamuna!

Not able to keep up?

Stay right here for your share auto

No, hold on

I just thought walking is a
nicer option in this weather

Come, let's walk

Secret's out

Why did you come here
all of a sudden?

Is it just for Grandma...

...or for someone in yellow t- shirt?

Hey!

I love grandma

I will go strangle her first

But your grandma likes me better,
you know?

Right, I saw that

What do you think of me?

Why should I think of you?

A handsome hunk like me...

...won't girls like you want to
snatch me away?

No, we won't

Why not?

My plans to acquire granny's assets
all depend on her...

- Yamuna!
- I've heard your mind voice

Zip it and speed up

What's your name?

Babloo

Where's your mom & dad?

In the city.
Uncle takes care of me

Is Mani your uncle?

Playing football like a champ

If Maradona was a woman,
he would be like her

What a player!

Funny girl

Hey, brother

Yes, sir?

Where were you last night?

I was home

Are you alone?

Yes, why?

The lorry driver you threatened
is dead!

When? How?

He slipped and fell from the terrace

We think it's an accident

Wanted to confirm your whereabouts,
considering the scene you created

Don't skip town

Until this death is confirmed
to be an accident...

...we might call you in for enquiry

Sure, sir

Come

Lorry driver slips from
the terrace and dies

Let this paint box cover his coffin

Hey, what is this?

Fuller's Earth

- Why?
- Fair and lovely skin

I'll teach you my beauty tricks soon

Staring at the wall to hang
granny's photo?

- Should I arrange the garland?
- Leave that and go

I forgot what I came for

Where did I leave it after
washing the Buffalo?

What are you looking for?

I have to scrub Grandma's back,
looking for the loofah

Here it is, found it!

I left her face down and came up,
Let me finish my duty and come back

One loofah, two Buffalos

Lunatic

- Heard you're in- charge. Name?
- Geetha

- You've worked here for?
- Two to three years

How long has the deceased - Mohit
been coming here?

He's a regular customer.
Sir, excuse me

Have you noted?

All sorted, her PF will be
cleared in ten days

- What's going on?
- Haven't heard the news?

Room number 701, Mohit Agarwal.
Owner of a beer company

Drunk, he fell from the terrace
and died

Has the habit of misbehaving
with our staff

Anyway, karma has served him right

Are you okay Amudhan?

Yes sir, coming

Excuse me!

Come in, baby girl.
Still awake?

Is she beautiful?

Whenever I think of you, I play this
video and hear the joy we had

You were a very naughty kid

But your father was short-tempered

He's not like that anymore

No father shows his anger
towards his daughter

Do you know how happy we were
when you were born?

Your dad and mom outdid each other
in celebrating the occasion

We invited the whole town for lunch

That was the last time
we were all together

You left that day and never returned

God knows whose jealous eyes
lead to that

Forget the past, Grandma

I will make sure dad comes
and meets you. Promise!

Okay?

CCTV?

Yes, yes

But you can't see!

My tiger champs will take care of that

Cats for surveillance!

Grandma, you're a genius!

I gave them water already

Wonder why they're still purring?

What happened?

What happened?

Yamuna

You got scared of the cats?

Don't be. They're harmless...

What is it?

Yamuna

Darling?

Yamuna

Yamuna

What happened?

Nothing

I got scared!

Sir!

I want to meet Arivu

Which one?

Head Constable Arivu

He's not in today

Has he come?

No, he hasn't.
Come back tomorrow

What are you saying?

Arivu fell from the terrace.
He's dead!

What?

- Really?
- Yes

No! Rewind the video

There's a ghost behind you!

I'm leaving this house immediately!

I'm the only heir in my family

What's going on?

There's a ghost in your house,
let's leave!

Why do you look doped?

Scared? That was just my shadow

This is the success of our video!

- I have a fantastic idea!
- What is that?

Live Ghost Experience.
My new business plan!

Is it about Granny?

I'm going to stage and shoot
ghost videos and upload it on YouTube

- I don't understand
- Why should you understand?

Don't keep ragging her

In the current internet scenario...

...people want to watch
controversial content

Criticize a superb film and
call the collections fake...

...talk about atomic physics without
knowing ABC about it

Blame everything that happens
on Illuminati

What? Waste party?

Illuminati!

This generation needs attention

Impossible

When people start watching our video,
we become famous

And then, we will start making money

Isn't 'blue shirt' famous because he
criticized an epic like Baahubali?

True, he rips everyone off

Exactly!

Should I buy a blue shirt as well?

No?

So, how is my plan?

Plan's okay.

But you didn't
have to walk back and forth...

...to pitch your business.
My neck's strained!

Grandma? What do you say?

Okay, done!

Let's rock and roll!

I have to roll you around first!

Utter the chant 10,000 times!

Superb

Students, ready to narrate
your ghost story?

Next, rejected

Next

That's fake. Get out!

Have you seen the ghost?

My daughter died ten years ago

I buried her favourite doll
alongside her

One night, when my other daughter
was with her kid...

...she heard something
and looked under the bed

She saw the doll that was buried
with my daughter!

Is that really true?

Yes!

I swear, I know it's my daughter!

"Dream flutters..."

"...its wings towards us"

"It's our time to win!"

"Let the empty chest fill with money"

"The game's about to begin!"

"There's something there!
Can you hear it?"

"That just disappeared!
Did it wander off?"

"The insides shiver, eyes widen"

"The heart beats, body quakes"

Do you believe in ghosts?

Do you know what our
biggest blessing is?

Our mind!

Research what exists.
Create what doesn't!

No other animal is capable of this

This cognitive revolution
is a curse as well

Our minds have created and shaped
ghosts that don't really exist

In the end, we are stuck with
the repercussions of our imagination

That's the irony

All that I saw at home
is just an illusion?

Your videos might be fake.
But they are viral content

Keep it going.
Don't confuse yourself

Don't worry about anything

- Nice
- Yes

You're shooting real ghost?

Why doesn't the ghost
do anything to you?

Do we look like fools to you?

There's a ghost at home?
Give me your address

We want to meet the ghost too

We can't keep seeing them on video

'Repeated murders in Chennai city.
Police in a frenzy'

You've become a star in
a single song

Grandma cannot see anyway.
It's all yours...

"The true colours of a person"

"One doesn't really know"

Two men come here to drink

2000 men come here to drink!
Who are you talking about?

"The world is a monopoly"

"God's a player too"

"Equality is a farce"

"Nothing's ever true!"

"There's something there!
Can you hear it?"

"That just disappeared,
did it wander off?"

"The insides shiver, eyes widen"

"The heart beats, body trembles"

One more

- Mani?
- Yes?

- Wear this
- What is this?

Hearing aid, latest model

You bought this for me...
I'm proud of you!

I'm telling you there's a ghost here.
You don't believe me?

Let me show it to you on video!

Why did you come here?

Like I said, there's blood
all over the wall!

Do you guys believe me now?

Come, let's test this on grandma

(SONG FROM 'CAPTAIN PRABHAKARAN')

You're a kid, stay back

Ah! Valak is here!

Good job, grandma!

Yamuna!

Grandma!

Yamuna!

Grandma!

Grandma!

'Today'

We've got a call from the outskirts of
Nithilapuram, a person called Mani

- Where are you?
- We're nearby ma'am

- Please check and call for back up
- Okay

Dad!

Granny?

Granny!

How are you baby girl?

Sorry!

Take me home

I don't like hospitals

Two more days.
We'll go home soon

To your house?

Your dad will be unhappy

I'm not coming there

He won't

He asked me to bring you home

- Sorry
- Watch your step

Sir?

Sir!

What's up?

You come here everyday

Buy a drink, sniff and leave

What is your story?

Do you know two people who steal
from vehicles to pay for drinks?

You mean Gothu and Shorty?

I know them, very well

Granny...

Granny...

Granny

Granny

Bhavani!

Your stupid ghost videos have led to
Granny's death!

You've made a grave mistake

Yamuna is a kid.

Granny and you
should've advised her against this

Do you know a life's worth?

It's okay, calm down

Mom's being buried right next
to my dad because of you guys...

What?

Bhavani is a very nice person

All of you killed her, didn't you?

Killed me too...

They're crying for your granny now

Tomorrow, it'll be for you!

What's going on?

Babloo!

Yamuna

Babloo!

What happened?

- Babloo!
- Who's Babloo?

What is it? Talk to us

Babloo!

Who's that?

Where's your nephew Babloo?

- My sister?
- Who?

I neither have a sister nor a nephew

Tell her

- Who's the dearest son Granny mentioned?
- That's my pet parrot

- Who are you talking about?
- Who is it?

He says there's no one

Aunty, it's my pet parrot

What happened to you?

- I'm very scared
- Please talk to us, we're here for you

No, let's leave this house immediately

- Let's go back to Chennai
- Perform a cleansing and lock the house

We're leaving

Mani, you should leave too

Go back to your native.
We'll meet later.

The lorry driver you threatened
yesterday is dead

Mohit Agarwal - owner of a beer company

Drunk, he fell from the terrace
and died

Sir, Arivu fell off the terrace.
He's dead!

Name?

Bhavani

Repeat my actions

Close your eyes and
focus your mind

Fill your thoughts with Bhavani

Her face, smile,
mannerism, behaviour...

Let it consume you!

Channel your mind to take you to her

Bhavani

Bhavani

Bhavani

Why didn't you come see me
all these days?

Tell me you didn't kill any of them

I'll believe you

Just tell me once

It was me

You gave me all the happiness
that the world didn't

I will destroy everyone
who stole that from me!

Not right...

Revenge is a success for mortals.
Why should you do that?

Bhavani!

It's not over yet

Not over?

- Who else?
- Don't come any closer

I don't want you to see me like this

I have something else to do

I will do it.
I will!

What are you planning to do?

Yamuna

- Yamuna, save us!
- Open the door

Mom! Dad!

Leave us

Why are you torturing me?

What did I do to you?

What do you want?

It's one in the morning!

I need to find a girl called Yamuna

Fine, tell me

Full name?

Place? Age?

I run an internet centre.
Not the cybercrime

What can I find with
just the first name?

Play that video

This one?

Right

It's this girl!

This girl is very famous.
She makes ghost videos

She's trending on YouTube

Check this out, freaky stuff

Bhavani is a very nice person

All of you killed her

'Lorry accident near Saidapet,
a girl and boy were killed'

You show it to them
They will give the death certificate

Okay, brother

Sir!

Ma'am

Her husband received the body

Amudhan

'No, 163. 1st street Bhaskar colony
Vadapalani'

- Take this
- Thanks madam

- Did they collect the body?
- Yes

- When?
- Morning

Aren't you Amudhan?

Please stop it

Ask your Bhavani to come out!
She's torturing me!

I was looking for you to warn you

You're not the first victim,
you're the ninth!

Bhavani has killed eight people already

Including three from her own family

Do you know Bhavani?

You've harmed her in some way

What nonsense?

I've never met her before.
I have no idea how she looks!

Why should I harm her?

It might not have been intentional

Think about it

Mohit Agarwal - business man

Arivu - Head constable

Francis - Lorry driver

Gothu, shorty

They have nothing in common

She has also killed her mom,
sister and brother-in-law

I know why she killed her family

Initially, I couldn't believe that
Bhavani did all this

I have never seen her raise
so much as her voice

The world crushed a feather like her
under its cruel feet!

Whenever a life is born,
people should celebrate

Which baby she begot?

But my Bhavani was born with a curse

It's a girl again

- Girl again!
- What can you do?

- Don't fret
- He really wanted a son!

He's going to suffer with three girls

God needs to show him a way

Marimuthu!

Mari...

They branded her unlucky
for no mistake of hers

Mari died by a lightning strike!

Dear, don't get up

No...don't

Her own mother hated her,
discarded her!

She didn't know that the hatred
would travel with her, all her life

The baby's crying, can you hold her?

Baby...

My husband died because of her

Throw that scum away.
Let her rot and die

School days are
the most glorious ones

It was the same for Bhavani

Good shot

- Look at her face
- Blackie, how's that?

Is that enough?

Look at that beauty!

It's the last day of school and
you're not a woman yet!

When is that likely to happen?

We'll put up a hoarding
if that happens. Okay?

Are you even sure you're a girl?

Good question

A guy's touch can transform you

Her own friends ragged her

Everytime she wept...

I felt ashamed that
I couldn't help her

That anger, transformed into love

Bhavani, hold on

Bhavani

Please stop crying

Don't mind them

You'll hit puberty when
your body is ready

Didn't we learn this in Biology?

Listen to me, please don't cry

I like you a lot!

The family that did not
celebrate her birth...

...celebrated her puberty like it's
an achievement of hers!

Keep quite

Oh God!

I'm seeing you like this
for the first time

You look beautiful!
Do you know that?

I've got you something

Gift

Please open it

I got it from town

Do you like it?

The red one will look
very pretty on you

The red one looks very pretty on you!

Unlucky girl, born at the wrong time!
Bled at the wrong time!

Were you born to destroy our lives?

Get out! I don't want to see your face

Sister's baby is mentally challenged

Everyone thinks it's your luck
that brought it

Whatever went wrong in her family,
it was blamed on her

Everytime she cried,
I was there to wipe her tears

Her smile was the light in my life

I was the light in hers

Hold me, Amudha!

What?

You're the best thing
that happened in my life!

What's this?

No jealous looks should harm you.
That's why...

Bhavani...

I'm going to join college in Coimbatore

Come with me.

We'll study together

Will you?

It's a surprise they allowed me
to complete schooling

Let's do something

I'll study, get into a good job...

...earn money and then help you study.
Okay?

I just want you by my side
all my life

I need nothing more

What?

I'll hit you, you dog!

Hot for a man at this age

The whole village knows you're unlucky

You'll find someone like you.
What's your hurry?

Let's leave, you think you're a Romeo?
Did you look at her face!

Gave birth to a scum

You're born to embarrass me.
I wish you were dead!

I left her like a coward,
scared of my father

Amudhan!

I met Bhavani after a long time,
by chance

I still don't understand
why she's after you

To decipher that, I think
you should meet someone I know

Call me if you need anything.
I'll help you

Go

You're not the first victim,
you're the ninth!

She's killed eight people so far

I still don't understand
why she's after you

I think you need to talk to Bhavani

You've harmed her in some way!

You should meet someone I know

Yamuna

Where were you?

You dropped just a message.
We've been worked up

We know you've been
upset over granny's death

Do you want to go on a vacation.
Go...

Or do you want therapy?
We'll arrange for it

Please don't stop
communicating with us

You're all we have

Please talk to us

I've been called for
an interview in Delhi

National news channel.
I have to leave today

At this time?
Don't say yes to all her demands

Go for it

Whatever you what want to do

But take care

Thank you dad, mom

(RITUALISTIC CHANTING)

Amudhan, it's time

What do you want?

I know your childhood was harsh

Everybody wants happiness in life.
But not everyone gets it

Everybody aspires to live happily

But when happiness eludes you
all your life...

...life in itself becomes an aspiration

The girl seems short.
Our son is very tall!

How much dowry can we expect?

- We can manage five sovereigns of gold
- Just five?

You said they could manage 25?

She's dark, we expected a fairer bride

Heard many families checked her out

Any defect in her body?
Be honest!

We heard she's unlucky

Is that true?

We don't like her

They've been hunting for eight years.
No groom likes you

Is marriage ever possible for you?

Wait and watch...

...you'll still be a spinster
at 60 years of age

Living alone in this house!

Look at that face!

Stop wailing like a kid.
Tell us what happened!

What's up with you?
Why are you crying?

Answer your sister

Brother- in- law tried to...

What? Me?

Fine, don't make it a scene

She's 32 and still a virgin.
Pity her, what will she do?

She'll want a man's touch too

- Mom, no
- You slut!

- I didn't do anything
- What is wrong with you?

You spoiled everybody's life
and now come for mine.

Get out of the house!

You're falsely accusing her husband.
How wretched of you!

We shouldn't have
let you live in our house!

Get out of the house!

Ask mom not to hit aunt

Dad

You're trying to share my husband!
How dare you!

Get out, get out!

Go die somewhere!
Don't come back

We should have killed you
when you born

Sister! Mom!

Sister!

Sister! Where will I go?

I'm scared, mom!

Sister!

I came to Chennai thereafter,
roamed the streets for two years

I got employed in a hotel
as a janitor

We have been forgetting
our mother tongue in Tamilnadu

In Canada, we still
teach our kids Tamil

We offering you 20,000 dollar
salary minimum

And a good stay in out of the city

How does that sound, Amudhan?

Ask what you want

Sir!

It's not for the money.
I want to do what I love

Students want to learn Tamil from you
after reading your books

When are you bringing your family
back to India?

We'll come.
When are you planning to get married?

When are you bringing
your wife to Canada?

Sorry!

Sorry, sir

Extremely sorry

It was my fault

- Go inside!
- Sorry, sir

- Our sincere apologies
- No, it was my fault

I moved when she was trying to clean.
It's okay

Why are you crying?

It was my mistake

I'll talk to your supervisor, come

Please come

Amudha!

Bhavani...

Come in

Where were you all these days?

Are you married?

Where did you go?

You left me for your father's word

I got a call from the Army
when I was in college

I've seen a lot of blood,
tears and death

I took voluntary retirement
and came looking for you

Whatever happened in my life
was leading me towards you

I realize that now

What were you doing in my hotel?

I was a writer while in the army

I've been offered a job in Canada
to teach Tamil

I came to meet them

You're going to Canada?

We're getting old, let me
ask you directly

Come with me.
Let's go to Canada

Let's have a fresh start

We'll teach kids Tamil

We'll have kids.
Two daughters...

Dusky, dark, beautiful
just like you!

We'll have a beautiful life...

...and at 70, die in each other's arms
shivering in Canadian snow

But before that...

...can we get married?

You're planting dreams in me now

And then when you find that
I'm ugly or unlucky...

...will you leave me?

I've been crushed...

Don't stamp me further, please?

You're beautiful

Very beautiful!

Despite your luck, date of birth,
father's death...

...you're beautiful!

Listen to me, listen to your Amudhan!

No one could see your purity

I see it, only I can see it!

Marry me

"Messenger clouds..."

"Sing my song of love..."

"Will the maiden's dream
forever remain a mirage?"

"Will the summer moon
quench her longing?"

"A distant sliver of light sneaks in"

"As the lonely flower fades in darkness "

"Is this just a dream..."

"...a fear grips the heart
as each day dawns"

"Messenger clouds! Sing my song"

"And kiss me tender as gentle rain "

"As the epic poet rejoices
in our tale of love"

"Rainbows come waltzing back
into my life"

"Messenger clouds..."

"Sing my song of love..."

"You and I, Time's absurd play
Tossed astray, into the winds"

"Those winds now bind us
A saga, for the world to see"

"Divine jasmine buds, adorning the Lord"

"Have found their way to my own yard"

"Forget me not, forever more "

"Forsake me not, come calm or storm"

You love black, don't you?
Here you go.

"Messenger clouds..."

"Sing my song of love..."

"And kiss me tender as gentle rain "

"As the epic poet rejoices
in our tale of love"

"Rainbows come waltzing back
into my life"

- Bhavani
- Yes?

Please make it to our wedding

"Delicate white blossoms, pure and true
That's the beauty I see in you "

"Your hand in mine, forever entwined
That's the day I long for, my love"

"These words from you,
I've longed to hear"

"And to my eyes, they bring a tear"

"Is it but the maiden's tears..."

"...coming down as dark thunderclouds?"

"Will the maiden's dream
forever remain a mirage?"

"Will the summer moon
quench her longing?"

"A distant sliver of light sneaks in"

"As the lonely flower fades in darkness"

"Is this just a dream..."

"...a fear grips the heart
as each day dawns"

What's the occasion?

Who's getting married?

Who else?
Should be hers...

My future wife...

My beauty...
Have you left from work?

About to

Why don't you keep talking to me
till you reach?

- Sure, why not?
- Take an auto, don't come by bus

Bhavani!

Remember I told you about room no. 701,
the beer company owner?

He's calling me to clean the room

Isn't your shift over?
Just leave...

- Give me five minutes, let me check
- Fine, come back soon

You're dressed like a mannequin

Where are you going?

Why don't you spend
one night with me?

Tell me your price, I'll pay you

You have to be back here tomorrow.
Remember that!

Is the auto available?

- Where to?
- Registrar's office, Saidapet

I'm heading there, tell me?

After our wedding, vacate your hostel
and come home with me

Everything will be ready for you

Do you remember you gave me a gift
when we were in school?

I have a gift for you too.

You're my biggest gift.
Do I need more?

Stop teasing me

What's the gift, my dearest princess?

That's a surprise

Hey! Get out of the auto!

What do you guys want?
Move!

- Get down!
- Who do you think you are?

Hello!

Bhavani!

Two drunkards are threatening us
for money in Vandikaran street

- Is anyone there with you?
- Hold on for a minute

Hello!

- Every single person pays us here!
- Brother, I'll pay you

What's happening there!

Don't give it

- You get into the auto, dear
- Stay out of this

Give the bag

Please return my bag

Brother, not that please.
That's my wedding ring

Brother, don't take it

A platinum ring!

I'll give you anything else you want

We got a ring instead of money

Brother!

We aimed for cheap beer
but we've got imported champagne!

I bought that for my wedding.
Anything but that, please...

- I'm begging you, please
- Take your bag

Who's marrying your ugly face?

Why did you take your bag out?

They are doing like this...

Are you there?

The drunkards stole your gift from me

It's alright

It's just a gift...

...we can buy it anytime

Stop crying.
Wipe your tears.

Where are you now?

- I'm almost there, I'll call you back
- Okay, be careful

You thief!
Trying to flee with the jewels?

- Come with me!
- It's not me

Do I look like an idiot?

- She ran away...
- You're refusing to come?

- Where's the bride?
- She'll be here in five

Ma'am, are we next?

- My husband is waiting for me
- Shut your mouth!

You're getting married?
Should I believe that!

I'll book you for prostitution
along with robbery. Mind it!

- Shut it!
- I didn't do anything wrong

They've caught the thief.
It's not this girl

- They've caught her?
- I told you it's not me

I'm sure you'll get caught again

Get lost

- Excuse me
- Sure

Tell me

Amudha, a policeman caught me.
They hit me

- They hit you? Who was it?
- I did nothing wrong

What happened? Tell me!

I wonder why I'm always cornered

Where are you? I'll be there

- No, I'm close by. I'll be right there
- Alright, I'll wait here

Sister, hold on

Can you help me cross the road?

It's only been mental torture
since I married you!

Pain in the ass

Hey, call the ambulance

The day I was to marry Amudhan
and start a new life...

...ended in my funeral!
That's because of...

...the selfishness,
the lack of empathy...

...avarice, greed, lust...

...hatred towards others
who are unlike us!

That little mistake of yours...

...a mistake you did
out of selfishness...

...has destroyed my life, Yamuna!

Madam!

Please hold the lift

I wonder why I'm always cornered

What do you want?
What do you want me to do?

It's you, that I want!

I want to re-live my life through you!

I didn't have a good life
when I was alive...

...I want it now!

You have to sacrifice yourself
for that!

If that was your aim,
you could have taken me before

I could have. But I wanted
your wholehearted consent

Then, why did you torment me?

Shouldn't you experience
a little bit of...

...the suffering that I went through?

You should know!

You will understand my pain
only then!

You'll know my demand
is not unfair!

Hello. yes

Amudhan, no...

Stop it

What's all this?
Flowers, decoration.

Your Bhavani is coming back to you

Through me

This is wrong.
You can't change fate

If I can change her fate,
why shouldn't I?

What a life...

...one man gets it all...

...the other gets none at all!

Why is God not aware of this?

He created us all

And then?

Did he doze off?

What God couldn't give her,
I have a chance to give

What started with me,
shall end with me

Bhavani...

Please make it to our wedding

Didn't I tell you...

...that I'll come back for you!

I'm finally getting to live my dream

I wanted the whole world
to see us wed

But, that's alright

Let's have a beautiful wedding
with just you and me

But, something's missing.

Here you go

The whole world is envious
of my Amudhan

It's time...

Let's get married!

This is wrong

What is?

Destroying a girl's life
to start our own.

This is wrong!

Wait

Don't walk away when we see
some light in our life

I did all this for you

I didn't ask you to

Stop!

What are you doing?
She agreed to this

Come with me

Leave me

When we were in school...

...I used to admire you
through the window

That's the beauty I want

She would intend harm to no one

I don't want this Bhavani

Yamuna's got it all

Parents, family, happiness,
education, everything!

I asked for her body.
What's wrong with that?

Who are you to decide
what's right and what's wrong?

Six strangers have rewritten my fate

Isn't that wrong?

She is one among them!

No matter what...

...I can't do this

When I look at you...

...I don't see my old Bhavani in you

I can see Yamuna lurking underneath

I can't justify this, accept it
and lead a life with you

You still won't agree?

Fine, she doesn't deserve the life
that we can't get!

No, leave her

She's innocent!

Am I not?

If you don't agree,
she dies right now!

This is not about her life

I loved you and I dreamt of
a life with you

Now here you are,
in someone else's body!

How can I accept that?

I will be betraying our love

I'm sorry...

Why did you have to kill yourself?

From now, we're going
to live together!

Come with me
