Kanne Kalaimaane (2018) - full transcript

'Apple of my eye; my dearest'

Why is uncle going overboard

with his sacred antics?

I don't know who he'll target

this year to tarnish their life

Why is your house locked?

What are you doing here?

Where is your interest due?

- I'll pay you soon, sir

- What's with you?

What is this disguise?

Lord Karna, sir

You are unable to pay

the interest for your loan

And you'll dress up

as the generous king Karna, huh?

"In the paddy fields lush and green

Indian beech trees with flowers seen"

"In the highways bustling with activity

tamarind trees blossom in plenty"

"In directions 8, everywhere

our neem trees rustle with fanfare"

"Knowing you'll be coming, at that moment

the flowers open their eyes in excitement"

"One who graced Vaigai river as our savior

Our Chozhavandhan Mariamma we favor"

"Shall I receive You with love?"

"Our Goddess who came from above"

"Shall I welcome You with happiness

One who wears a garland of durva grass?"

"Shall I invite You with gratitude forever

One who cures chicken pox in the summer?"

"Come, o' Goddess of rain"

"The leafy canopied ghaf tree

was cut down with utmost sanctity"

"To carry my favorite deity

carved as a casket sturdy"

"Inside that wooden casket

my kohl lined deity basked"

"Epitome of fury

Avatar of Kali"

Do you know how our Mariamma

was enclosed in that casket?

"One with turmeric paste applied

With dhavanam's perfume alongside"

"Shall I call my deity to bless us

The copper statue so wondrous?"

"Come, Goddess Shakthi"

At a time when there was no famine

when pangs of hunger attacked us

When all these people assembled

and wondered what to do

Lord Krsna commanded Varuna

the God of rain and said

Shower rain in abundance

Heavy rains lashed

flooding the land it seems

The casket with our Goddess

carried by the ripples of the Palar river

In the waters sweet as honey

floats the casket of our Mariamma

Your casket slides to the banks green

with the waters gently lapping in between

When everyone wondered

what this casket contained

Our deity Mariamma dear

to bring us prosperity here

"Goddess in a casket, shall I welcome You?

The renowned one, who comes to our rescue"

"Shall I welcome You, avatar of Shakti?

One with name and fame in totality"

"Goddess Cholavandhan Mariamma"

"Our Chozhavandhan Mariamma, our savior

Our Goddess whom we fear and favor"

"Shall I welcome our Sornamuthu Mariamma?"

Tell now

Announce your presence

Within a year

in your family

...you'll face a problem

with either a lady or land

Wake up!

Good morning, madam

Welcome

- Greetings, madam

- Good day

Welcome, madam

Hello

Thank you

Come this way

Please take your seat

All the best

Namaste, madam

Best wishes, madam

Good wishes

Good morning, madam

Good morning, madam

You should be in that seat

But you have seated her

Attend to your work

Lot of loans are pending

Many have not repaid

Loans approved on document basis

have also been forged

Who approved this?

Why haven't so many farmers

paid back their loans?

Who will take up

the responsibility of this loss?

Madam, the problem here is-

Villagers are not soft like the city bred

They may be a bit violent

I am mentioning this because many

of our officers had bad experiences

Where there is honesty

both anger and violence co exist

It's alright

We'll face that too

So bring all the pending files to my notice

- Okay

- Okay, madam

Thank you!

It's rare nowadays for girls

to work in villages

Why are you scaring them?

Will they dole out loans

with open arms in your city?

Don't be unrealistic

Appa, look who is here

You are dead meat today

He'll close your chapter

Uncle, stop it

Stop it, all of you

How can you do such injustice?

What did I do?

How often should I repeat it?

Even Americans use a neem stick

as tooth brush

The world is going green

If I say all this

do I look like a fool to you, huh?

You are a genius

But leave us alone

Natural fertiliser won't be

conducive to this soil

This land has got used to this manure

I can't repay my loan

if I don't harvest 3-4 times a year

Change your habit

Yov! This is our Mother earth

Even if you stamp,

doesn't she support you and me?

For that at least

shouldn't we protect her?

All our documents are

collaterals in a pawnshop!

Wonder who jinxed me this morning

Why are you bugging me

while I am working?

Couldn't you find anyone else today?

Why are you perturbed?

I'll gladly give you

earthworm fertilizer for free

Just say yes, I'll bring it

from my house and pile it here

Please don't use those chemicals

Don't betray the soil that trusts you

You don't understand my plight

I've bought all this fertiliser on loan

Aiyo!

Uncle, I don't intend leaving

till you change your mind

Kanna, what are you doing here?

We've been looking for you all over

Look at what uncle is doing

Didn't he promise to use

only organic manure that day?

Look what he is up to now

Sir, I didn't think

when I promised that day

Please forgive me

Uncle, we can't keep forgiving you

For the next harvest

change to natural fertiliser

- Say 'yes'

- I swear I'll change

I'll buy organic manure from you

Leave me alone now, sir

You heard him

Let's go, Kanna

Let's attend to our work

Muthu, how are you?

Hey Kanna

Nowhere to be seen

I saw you in the temple that day

You left before I could talk to you

That's a big story

By the way where is your husband?

- Where will he go?

- Come, Kanna

- Would you like some tea?

- I just drank, Chandra

- Buttermilk

- No, it's alright

Hey Kanna, you are

a smart young boy

Why are you still

roaming around single?

Karuppu, you tag along always

Can't you find a girl for him?

You expect them to?

If they are with me, even a girl

who flips for me will flee

- Hey Chandra

- What, Kanna?

Count the coconuts

and unload them

I'll buy whatever price you quote

When have I bargained with you?

Whatever Muthu says is fine with me

If the buyer fixes the price

their sales is really one of a kind!

He is my childhood friend

Now you know what trust means?

Kanna, let me look for a bride

Don't worry

if I don't find one

I'll divorce my husband

and gladly marry you

Kindly do me this favor

Take her with you

If you succeed

I'm freed of a life sentence

Don't think you can

escape from me, dear

That will never happen

Am I the pawn in your game?

Hey Karuppu, are they serious

or is it their weird sense of humor?

They were classmates

Don't be suspicious

Okay, let's go

Muthu, see you

- Send me the money

- Prompt as usual

Muthaiyah has taken 8 loans

He has repaid 4

Kazhuvaayi has taken 5 loans

And repaid 2

Kamala Kannan has taken

9 loans for his cattle

Not repaid even 1

There isn't even a gap of

2 months between each loan

Who approved his loans?

There are many adjustments

in this locality

If you delve too deep into it

...VAO, collector, tahsildar

the whole system will oppose us

Forget how it was given and

focus on retrieving the money

Sir, we can't use local thugs

like private banks do

Madam, most of them who availed

loans here are proper thugs

Let it be

I won't step back from taking

the required legal action

I need to meet each and every one of them

- And we will start with Kamala Kannan

- Okay, madam

Did you drive the tractor

or roll it in mud?

Full of muck and mire

Who listens to you here?

Our vehicle is their training tool!

Kamala Kannan sir,

I'm Vetri Kumaran

- From Madurai Grama Bank

- I know you

We would like to discuss

about your cattle loans

We are paying the dues

Even sir knows it

Who paid?

Records don't show a single payment

She is our new manager

Her name is Bharathi

Good afternoon, madam

Namaste, Mr Kamala Kannan

You look educated

But why are you doing this?

You own a lot of property

Should you avail Govt loans

and cheat them?

Can't you lead a straightforward life?

I can understand

if you really can't repay

By greasing their palms...

...isn't there a limit to

indulging in fraudulent deals?

If I have done anything wrong

I'll face it legally

See, let me keep it very simple

If you don't repay your loan

I'll take action

So be careful

Kanna, you must slap her

at least once

'What temerity!'

She dares to come here

and threaten us

'She should be taught a lesson'

Many of them who take loans

have no intention of repaying

They wait for a new Govt

to dissolve their loans

I'm not targeting the poor

who can't repay

I just can't bear to see the affluent ones

who trick the Govt through loans

Fraudsters!

That isn't true

Miss Bharathi

If we handle those with clout

in a diplomatic manner

...it augurs well for us

Will big shots have 2 horns or what?

Will they pierce us?

I'm not scared of all this

It is my duty

This is just a simple

cattle loan of a villager

What will you gain

by intervening and investigating?

How can you take

a cattle loan so lightly?

Do you know the worst corruption

in India is cattle fodder?

In our country cows are

the biggest problem

People's taxes are used as loans

We stretch our hands for our salary

Shouldn't we do justice to it?

When those who cheat are brave

why should we be scared cowards?

Hey, wait right here

I'll be back

Bro, what about your security?

Dai! 1st take care of the car

Don't come inside

Stay in the car

Our bro doesn't look

the least bit angry

He'll bottle it up inside

Thanks

- Mathrabootham sir

- Tell me, madam

Ask why Kamala Kannan

of Vadipatti is waiting out?

Kamala Kannan sir

Come here 1 minute

What are you waiting for?

Madam wants to know the reason

I want to thank madam

Madam, he wants to thank you

Thank me? Why?

I didn't ask

Shall I ask him?

It's okay, ask him to come

She asked you to go in

- Tell me

- Madam

I repaid 2 loans

as per your suggestion

- When will you pay the balance?

- Give me some time

I'll repay one by one

Do it fast

What you've done is forgery

Repay before I take any action

Why do you need to thank me?

You said 'Can't you lead an honest life?'

I liked that a lot

I have work to do

Thank you so much

We need signatures from 2 witnesses

for our Home's registration

You are here

The other witness is on the way

Good morning

Namaste

Congratulations

Madam, please sign

I really feel very proud

This Old Age Home is being registered

as Mother Teresa's Home

I thank Miss Bharathi

of Madurai Grama Bank

And my dear friend Kamala Kannan

advocator of organic farming

I ask our friend Kamala Kannan

to say a few words now

Good morning to everyone

Brother Chozha Nagarajan referred

to this as Old Age Home

This isn't an Old Age Home

But Care for the Elderly

Old age is an unavoidable phase

to every human being on earth

For those who have reached

that stage before us

I firmly believe this care center

will provide all the required comfort

Thank you

See you, bro

What is this place?

If parents had a son like you

this is the haven they must seek!

Zip your lips and open the door

Should I explain

even an Old Age Home to you?

'Our guest in today's farmers' program

is Kamala Kannan from Vadipatti'

'Greetings'

'How did you get interested

in organic farming?'

'When I was studying

in Agricultural college'

'...I grew up reading books by Nammalvar

agricultural scientist and green crusader'

'Johan Fredrik of Germany

and our own Gandhiji'

'I was enlightened, I felt

only we can save our own land'

'Why shouldn't I give this

my full fledged support?'

'So this became my dream'

'Farming alone won't do

We need organic manure'

'We are producing

earthworm fertilizer'

'Our earthworms will save our soil

that was ruined by chemicals'

'People are leaning towards

natural organic farming methods'

'What do you think?'

'I'm very happy people prefer

the 'Go Green' movement'

'This boosts up my faith

in my dream even more'

'I am sure a change is

just round the corner'

Bill it please

- Yes, madam

- Vetri sir

Kamala Kannan has graduated

in Agricultural science in Madurai

He belongs to an agricultural lineage

He's a landlord too

Why should he avail 9 cattle loans?

I feel something is fishy

If you are in doubt

we can enquire, madam

- You go and find out

- Okay, madam

Who the hell is this?

Why are you honking

in front of a locked gate?

- We were sleeping

- What do you want?

Madam wants to inspect

all the cows for your cattle loans

Big shots can't show up

Take the nonentities

Both of you go

Bro, don't come to the road

and get caught, that's all I can say

Go now, don't I know

you're Kasi's son?

- Are you a pilot?

- I'll tweak your ear

He's a Govt employee

That's how he'll talk

- Let's attend to our work

- Our work is to go back to sleep!

Watch your step

This cow

Here, huh?

Take care

Namaste

We are from the bank

Is this your cow?

Yes, sir

My son is a drunkard

His liquor ate up all our lands

We can't pay our house rent

I have pledged

all my possessions

I was struggling without even

1 square meal a day

Kamala Kannan lad came to my rescue

and availed a cattle loan for me

Due to the circumstances

and our situation I couldn't repay

Don't blame Kamala Kannan

Please ensure you won't hassle him

He's like a son to me

Thanks to him

we are able to survive

May God bless him

I'll show you the next candidate

Let's go

My parents were well diggers

My father died while digging a well

He fell prey to a mudslide

My mother and I were

somehow making ends meet

I was working in a telephone booth

Not a well paid job

Kamala Kannan said

'Don't worry, Mary

I'll help out'

He got us a cattle loan and

that's how we are making ends meet

We'll pay up very soon

Don't ask him to pay this

Please wait, madam

I'll pay definitely

- I'll take leave

- Okay, madam

I told you I'll repay all my loans

Why did you go to their houses

and threaten those poor souls?

Kannan sir, madam wanted

a clear picture about your loans

That's why we went

It's our duty, sir

- Yes, madam

- Ask him to come in

You can go in and talk to madam

Sir, you feel like donating

Do it with your own money

Why do charity

with bank's money?

This isn't charity

It's a job opportunity for them

If you give them cash

they will spend it

They will be focused in their work

if they have to repay the bank

That's why I got them a cattle loan

Haven't you heard of

the fish and bait story?

Give the bait

and not the fish

That's what I did

Please don't go and talk

to my people hereafter

I take full responsibility

Repay your loan

We won't disturb you

'A few days later...'

Grandma, a girl has come to see you

- Who are you?

- I want to meet Kamala Kannan bro

Why, dear?

I've passed 12th grade

I've got a seat in a medical college

I must get his signature

regarding my education loan

Can I meet him?

Who told you he signs for all this?

Bharathi madam in

Madurai Grama Bank told me

- Is anna here?

- Who is she?

A new Bharathi 'madam'?

She's the fair swan in Madurai bank

Our enemy

Ignore her

- What is your name?

- Venmani, bro

How much did you score?

-1189

- Very good

What do your parents do?

My father drives a bullock cart

My mother works in the field

You've got a seat

in Madurai medical college?

Yes, bro, to pay

my semester fees...

...I had gone to avail a loan

in Madurai Grama bank

Bharathi madam told me

I can get if you sign

Bharathi madam, huh?

NEET exam is very tough

How did you prepare for it?

Aiyo! That's a big torture, bro

Even 3-4 students who excel

failed in this exam, bro

My father sold his land

and sent me for tuition class

I worked heart and soul

and I passed the exam

How can we study Central board questions

not taught in our state board syllabus?

How do we answer such questions?

Aren't students who passed out

before us regarded as doctors, bro?

My dear girl

don't get me wrong

Your awareness of politics is super

If you studied law

instead of medicine

...you have a bright future

No, bro

This is my ambition

What did you study, bro?

Just like you, I went in

for a professional course

Our country doesn't offer a job

nor show respect for my subject

I took a degree in agriculture

in Madurai Agricultural college

So you've passed

2 exams simultaneously

You must be exhausted

What to do, bro

1st they grabbed money from us

by way of college admissions

Now tuition class became a big scam

True that

With such a vast syllabus

and varied subjects...

...to force students to attempt all this

at the same time is just not fair at all

Those who need to know

should get enlightened!

Hey! What's NEET?

Waking me up and

asking me irrelevant questions

All that is academic related

Just go back to sleep

So even you don't know?

They didn't teach us

all that in 8th grade

It has been added only now

I'm quite surprised

by Kamala Kannan

Only yesterday

I saw his Facebook profile

He doesn't have a single girl

in his Friends list

He cleared all the bank loans

day before yesterday, ma'am

Sounds good

Come along

Hello, Kannan sir

Madam told me

Give me your file

Vetri sir, what is the %

you charge for educational loans?

10-12%

Sir, what do you mean?

I pay only 8% for my car loan

What to do, sir?

We must abide by our bank rules

Give me your pen

My dear girl

Congratulations

You're availing a loan

from our Govt to study

Then don't go abroad

to serve the people

No, bro

I won't do that

Let's see

Please process it

at the earliest

We'll do our best, sir

Kamala Kannan sir

Don't hold it against us for meeting

the people who availed a loan

My situation was such-

Yes, sir, you'll torture a farmer

who borrowed just 5000

He will end his life, but one who

borrows millions will go scotfree

Your bank rules are 'splendid' indeed

Don't mistake us, sir

Venmani

Hello, Kannan sir

Take a seat

All the best

Study well

Thanks a lot, madam

Say thanks to him

Thanks, bro

I'll take leave

I hope you aren't angry with me

Not angry

A wee bit disappointed

I signed surety for that girl

just as you suggested

Clad in a 'kurta'

Some moments of silence

after speaking a few words

Social awareness

Are you a Communist?

I am an ordinary agriculturist

I'm doing what I know

Everyone publicizes

the good deeds they do

You're doing a lot of good

All my best wishes to you, sir

Why be so formal?

Feel free to call me Kannan

Any help, let me know

I'll do what I can

Thank you so much

Our branch needs your help

- Can you give me your mobile #?

- Of course

9944000-

-888

I'll give you a 'missed' call

Save my number

I already have your #

See you

"This oval faced flower

bewitches me to caress her"

Kanna, where are you going?

Kannan bro

Car is parked here

"Handsomeness cumulative effect

Kidnapping you is my intent"

"My heart yearns to be looted this instant"

"Addressing you as 'my dearest doe'

My heart sings aloud a poem for you"

"Girl, except for your name so sweet

all other languages take a backseat"

"I was to wrap you in my finger

forgetting all our surrounding forever"

"Words will let me down altogether"

'Organic Farming

Awareness Camp'

"This oval faced flower

captivates me to caress her"

"Waves of desire brim

Teasing many a whim"

"Handsomeness cumulative effect

Hijacking you is my intent"

"My heart loves to be looted this instant"

Won't you give them a loan?

People above 60 don't qualify

Only pension is available

Ask them to collect that cash

Why can't a person

above 60 qualify for a job?

Our prime minister, president,

chief minister are all 60+, right?

Don't they hold an office?

You're such a nuisance, I swear!

"As I walk on the road thinking of you

Unaware, I pass my house like a fool"

"Seven + seven as 10, I add

My math has never been so bad"

"I can't discern east from west now

I've lost my sense of direction somehow"

"In whichever direction you maybe

seems like the auspicious east to me"

"You are the water in my roots complete

You are the honey in my flowers sweet"

"What else will you do to me, I entreat?"

"It's a pleasurable pain indeed"

"Your glances dissect me

into a world of rhapsody"

"I stand like a hill, strong and steady"

"The moment I see you, instantly

I shrink like a tiny coral bead love-pea"

"This oval faced flower

bewitches me to caress her"

Thanks, Kannan

"Waves of desire brim

Pleasing many a whim"

It's okay

It's not a big thing

"Able and adorable cumulative effect

Abducting you is my intent"

"My mind craves to be stolen this instant"

Hey! Get down

It isn't for your loan

Just checking your document

I won't get down

I won't come

Come

"Girl, except for your name so sweet

all other languages take a backseat"

Saw that?

He went right on top

Can't catch him

"Words will let me down altogether"

'Pearl millet porridge

and buttermilk ready'

Oh my God!

Ezhumalai...!

Where are you going?

Stop, man

- Ezhumalai

- Uncle, open the door

- Unlock the door

- Ezhumalai

I won't harm you

Unbolt the door

'Open the door'

'Unlatch the door'

Let go of this

Ezhumalai, why did you take

such a rash decision?

Do you have any sense?

If you die, that news

won't even be reported!

Who will take care of your daughter?

We borrow money for farming

The fertilizer seller

takes half the amount

Moneylender grabs

the remaining amount, sir

Look at this bulb hanging here

The manufacturer

decides on its price

But the crops we produce

with our blood, sweat and tears

...we are unable to fix a price

Even the consumer doesn't get it

Even we farmers don't benefit

It lines the pockets

of the middle men alone

As a protest in Delhi we ran without

a stitch on us, we even ate rat curry

Did anyone in this country ask why?

Everyone just watched us

with amusement or curiosity

How can we survive

under such conditions?

Aiyo! I don't have the money

Otherwise I'll definitely pay, sir

Sir, we didn't come here

asking for money

Please pay when you can

Thank you very much, madam

Uncle, times will change

It won't continue the same way

If you don't work,

people in the cities will starve

Trust me

You are like God

Whatever hardship

please don't resort to this

- Hello...?

- Bharathi, this is Kannan here

- Kamala Kannan

- Tell me, Kamala Kannan

There's an alumni meet

in my college tomorrow morning

I'm attending it

If you are free

can you come with me?

Actually I'm free, we can go

Oh! But one thing

Can we take your car?

I don't use this car

for personal work

Which means Bharathi is equal to integrity

Is that right?

Yes, you can say so

'I call upon our special guest

poet Aathmarthi to share a few words'

Dear guests

My words are just poetry

But your grain is food for the poor

Agricultural scientists

Like how a sheaf of grain bends

its head to the ground, I salute you

2 souls unite, love blossoms

Even in contradictions friendship blooms

I wrote this

I see it truly in your expressions

Thank you

Sir...?

Bharathi, my professor

I'll be back

Hello

I'm Anban

Kannan's friend

Is that so?

Please sit

Thank you

I live in New Jersey

In our whole batch

Kannan was really one of a kind

Congrats...!

Kannan and you are

made for each other

When is the wedding?

Who is marrying whom?

Kannan and you?

Did he say that?

I've told most of our friends here

Remember to invite me

for the wedding

He must be settling abroad

Dressed in a kurta,

obsessing about organic farming

...he's wasting his talent here

His simplicity and

the way he loves this town

His helping tendency

I like all that about him

I'll make sure he doesn't

change in his ways

- Is this assurance enough?

- Okay...good

Thank you, sir

See you

Hey! What's up?

The jar and lid

make a perfect fit

Your 'Mrs'!

Don't let go

All the best!

Mrs...?

If you are free tomorrow, can you come

with me to Mettu Neerathan temple?

Do I have to?

I need to talk to you

Hmm...okay

Bharathi, sorry

I got a bit delayed

It's okay

Tell me

You could have told me

I would have felt good

Deals with situations bravely

But scared to profess his feelings

to the girl he loves

That's a typical male trait

Can't be changed

I should have told you myself

Anban messed it up

Don't know what to say now

I'm kind of feeling jammed

To go against the wishes of my family

And to get married immediately

...I'm not a young girl!

My job

Your value in society

Then...

...both the families

...without any fights or bad vibes

should consent to this marriage

It's very important to me

Please discuss with your family

If they consent...

...we can talk about it

Otherwise it's fine

This is reality

If they don't accept...

...let's stay as friends always

Okay...?

Okay

Let's stay as friends

Your sari looks good

I bought it in the Govt

handloom store Co-optex

Oh Co-optex?

That means...

...you're also like me

Particular about going green?

Not that

I belong to the weavers' caste

To weave a sari, a weaver has to move

his arms and legs 20000 times!

I'm wearing this sari for them

Don't forget about our topic

Kanna, please stop

- I need to talk to you

- What, appa?

I heard about Bharathi

That Madurai bank officer

Her family and relatives

We don't know their customs and habits

They won't understand our lifestyle

We belong to a family of agriculturists

I don't know what to say

If no one in our family circle approves

then what do we do?

Father, just like that

how can I say 'no' to her?

I didn't tell you to forget that girl

Hey, Ramasamy

What are you saying?

What does he know about

deceit or dishonesty?

He doesn't even know to differentiate

a burnt 'paniyaram' from a good one

Discussing all this

with such a naive boy

Her complexion, the way she talks

or her home and surroundings

Who knows what he saw

and flipped for her

My dear grandson

You were just 5 years old

Your mother handed you

over to me and died

From then, only we have

been taking care of you

We know to decide

what is good and bad for you

Take me to that girl's house

Let's see if it will work out

Or if we can iron the creases if any

Otherwise...

...what I decide is final!

Ramasamy, do you agree with me?

You must obey

whatever I decide

Father, what is this?

When have I not listened to you both?

I'll go by what you say

I can assure you

Do you understand?

On behalf of Madurai Grama Bank...

...we are proud to give this award

to our best customer, Mr Kamala Kannan

The loans he got for others...

...without expecting anything in return,

he repaid the bank on their behalf

He studied in Agricultural college

And is employed as a farmer

in his own town

A person of great values

I can go on and on

- Congratulations

- Thank you, sir

Congratulations!

Bharathi, you invited me for the function

and praised me sky high

I was quite embarrassed

Power outage

Bharathi!

What happened to you?

Bharathi, relax

Hello, someone please help

Hello, there's a power cut

Don't be scared, Bharathi

Power will be restored soon

Someone please help

Bharathi, it will be fine

Wait, it's coming up

Bharathi, are you okay?

What's happening here?

I'm sorry...sorry

Hey, Kanna I thought you'll slap her

You stuck to her like a flat bread!

Dai, show some respect

She's your sister-in-law

His fiancee, huh?

What did he say just now?

Isn't it shocking?

Bharathi...?

You are usually so brave

Why were you so terrified?

What happened?

When I was young

I had a tragic experience

From then on I'm petrified of darkness

I'll tell you later

At a more appropriate time

- Hello...?

- Bharathi

My grandmother and I

are coming to your house

- Coming now?

- Yes

- Please come

- Okay

Didn't you inform her earlier?

I did, grandma

But told her to be ready now

Is that girl at home?

Today is Sunday

Bank is closed

Yes, Sunday

Govt banks are closed

- Hello, Kannan

- Bharathi, this is my grandma

Namaste, grandma

I am so happy you've visited us

Please sit

This is my brother Naresh

He studied Mechanical Engineering

and is working in TVS now

I'm Kamala Kannan

My sister has told me about you

Bring tea

Did you have a surgery for your eyes?

Not a surgery

When Bharathi was 5 years old...

...I lost my eyesight

Can't you see at all?

House is very spacious, eh?

Do you have a terrace?

Hey, take a look around

Give him a tour of your house, dear

This is a rented house, right?

Very spacious

Terrace is this way

Grandma, have tea

I added sugar

Is it okay?

Do you eat meat and fish?

Yes, we eat meat

Where did your daughter work

prior to this bank job?

In Pondicherry

Then why did you move here?

My daughter is very honest

Straightforward

Very strict, huh?

If she's too strict

she can't work everywhere

What to do?

This is a quality

she's born with!

Fair is fair, wrong is wrong

irrespective of who does it

Will she be permanent in this job?

Can't be too sure

She can be transferred

whenever and wherever

Only after meeting

your mother, I realize now

Why you were so terrified

during the power outage in the lift

I'm terrified of darkness

My mother isn't conscious

about light at all

When I was young...

...she used to leave me alone

in darkness and go

So from right then

I have a phobia for darkness

Sorry

That's okay

Tell me what your grandma

will be asking my mother now?

My grandma is enquiring

about you downstairs

You are questioning me

here on the terrace

You can come up with the answer too

She'll be asking

about our caste

How did you guess so right?

Don't we know about elders?

Let her ask

I don't mind

Will that be a restriction?

Kanna

I'm feeling tired

I'll go rest for a while

You go and lie down for a while too

Bro, what did grandma say?

For whatever reason on earth

don't ever resign your job

You won't get this meat

and salary anywhere else

I intended to endorse the same

Given that you don't work

you can't get a better deal

Why are you standing out?

Come in and eat

Sathish, serve them also

Ma, I have brought sarees

Aunt will inspect the saree inside out

She won't comment

if she liked it or not

She isn't decisive by nature

- Aunt, some meat for me

- Bite your finger instead!

Ma, I have brought Madras sarees

- Look how she's taking it out on us

- I'm busy, come tomorrow

Okay

Hey! Thanks for the hint

The decision has been made

I've told the concerned person

I don't have to tell you

Focus on your work

instead of being judgmental

Wash your hands

I thought you will ask me

But it is my duty to tell you

Your grandmother said we should

postpone discussions on this alliance

She is saying we can decide

after we completely understand the girl

Until then, try to avoid

spending time with her

Also stop sending messages

and talking over the phone

Nowadays girls go to the police station

at the slightest disagreement

And tarnish the family name

Be careful, son

- Okay, pa

- Good

"Apple of my eye; my vision is lost"

"Lost favor in her eyes; star-crossed?"

Kanna, come and eat

Not hungry, grandma

"Apple of my eye; my vision is missing"

How can you not be hungry?

Shouldn't you eat on time?

"Will I meet her, my cherished blessing?"

"She stood before me; my fair missy

Why did she enter my heart in a jiffy?"

"She waltzed into my heart's alcove

and locked herself in, my true love"

"How can I forget this sensation?

To die is a much better option"

Phone is ringing

He's ignoring it

Kanna

Your phone is ringing

"If love is considered a cuss word to scorn

why are these trouble makers born?"

- Tea?

- I don't want

- Starving since morning

- I don't want

"If the criteria is caste

for love to bloom and last"

"Do birds and beasts find their catch

with horoscopes drawn to match?"

Hello...who is it?

"If marriage is love's enemy

do we need a holy matrimony?"

Hello

"This deep chasm separating you and me"

"Shall I kiss goodbye; cover for eternity?"

"Apple of my eye; my vision is lost"

"Apple of my eye; my vision is missing"

"Lost favor in her eyes; star-crossed?"

"Apple of my eye; my vision is missing"

"Will I meet her, my cherished blessing?"

"She stood before me; my fair missy

Why did she enter my heart in a jiffy?"

"She whizzed into my heart's alcove

and locked herself in, my true love"

"How can I forget this lovely creation?

To die is a much better option"

Caw...caw...caw!

Hello

Kamala Kannan?

This is Bharathi

In my entire life

I've never had a wish list

I was never impulsive either

But I think in your case

I made an impulsive decision

God bless you

Thanks

Madam, this isn't yours

Your bike is over there

Did you check his BP?

- He isn't letting me check

- Why?

Kamala Kannan sir

You are educated

Don't make us compel you

What kind of care are you giving?

He hasn't eaten

for more than a week

Not being cooperative either

What do you want me to do?

Find out what's troubling him

and give him some juice at least

- Let me know after he eats

- Okay, doctor

I didn't expect this

People won't say Ramasamy's son

Kamala Kannan died of hunger

They will gossip

it was suicide

Did I make you study agriculture

to earn this name?

We aren't against your love

Shouldn't we worry

if this girl is right for you?

You set a fine example

for everything

Can you resort to this now?

1st please eat

'Emergency Treatment Unit'

- There she is

- Madam, wait

Where are you going?

Hey, stop

- Madam, they just barged in

- I'll handle it

Okay, get back to work

- Please sit down

- He didn't eat for a week

None of us knew

He fainted in the field suddenly

We admitted him in the hospital

Even now he refuses to eat

- I don't know what to do

- Let me come with you

Mother

Come out

All of you come out

Hey...don't get up

Lie down

Why, Kannan?

Why did you do this?

Bharathi

I don't have a mother

My grandmother is like my mother

I've never disobeyed my father

I didn't know

how to convince them

And take you home as my wife

I had no other option

- Can I give?

- Go ahead

Drink this

Brother has broken his fast!

Bro finally drank a glass of juice!

Shut up!

I'll strangle you

Greetings, madam

- How are you all?

- We are fine

Please sit

Look at the reception for her

All bank loan cases!

Come...take flowers

Sit down

Grandma, who is that fatso

with a smile stuck on his face?

Brother

That girl's only brother

Kannan sir isn't even looking our way

Sir is blinded by love

Bride shouldn't sit along with

the groom, get up and sit down

I'm not used to

sitting on the floor

- Shall I sit?

- No need

Not necessary

Let her sit here

'So what?'

It's alright

Sit there and talk

Take this flower, mother

I have no one to talk on my behalf

Sorry, don't misunderstand

It's alright

Go ahead

I have saved a small sum

for my wedding

That is all I can bring with me

Be it cash or jewelry

We can share

the marriage expenses 50-50

Who will tie the wedding knot?

Bride or groom?!

- God knows!

- Grandma!

Can't say a word about her

He'll pounce in a coconut shell of water!

We don't want anything

Only 1 prerequisite

That's also my mother's wish

She wants to know if you must

work even after the wedding?

I got this job

with great difficulty

Can I take some time

to think and let you know?

Grandma, it isn't wrong

to work after marriage

Even you went to work in the fields

- Did anyone object?

- When did I go to work?

All the women will come to

my field to work at dawn

Can we fix the wedding date

for the 18th of this month?

It isn't a bank holiday

I'll look at the list

of holidays for the bank

Fix an auspicious date

and tell you tomorrow

Fine!

Alright

Bharathi

Take mother back home safe and sound

Won't she know

to take care of her mother?

Why go overboard?

"Garlands exchanged on an auspicious day"

"In the most perfumed way

Adorns the bride's shoulder today"

"May you both be blessed

In love and laughter immersed"

"May fortune shower for eternity

with prosperity and plenty"

[song from 'December Pookkal']

Muthu!

Will you follow me

like a lost pup, dear?

Go and be seated

- Bride's room, huh?

- Go and sit

'We are not allowed'

- See if you have to pin this

- Greetings

I am Muthulakshmi

Kannan's class mate

Is that so?

Which grade

We studied together

till 8th grade

Then?

Kannan continued and I didn't

My father wanted me to look after

our coconut business

Okay!

You look beautiful

You are decked with all the jewelry

No bridal make up, huh?

Why do you want me to stand on

the stage looking ashen like a ghost?

When guests who attended

our wedding meet me later on

...I have to keep reminding them

I am the same bride

- Do we need that?

- So true

As it is you are so fair

Why do you even need make up?

Boodham sir, is the banquet

vegetarian or non vegetarian?

What is the event here?

What are you harping on?

- Keep quiet

- Just a matter of curiosity

Then go to the kitchen

and find out

So you don't intend eating?

"Love will continue forever

with no stumbling blocks to sever"

Bride doesn't look like

she's from this area

How did you agree?

- Hey Arumugam, keep quiet

- Okay

- Mother

- Bharathi

Come forward

Grandma, such a fair beauty

same complexion as our MGR

Did you ever think your family will get?

Look at her properly

True

May virtue, principles of life

and love be granted in plenty

To be blessed with whatever is desired

To attain the pinnacle

of fame successfully

With God as sublime guide

Conform to the code

of the classic Thirukkural

With praise from world over

May Kamala Kannan and Bharathi

lead a long life as husband and wife

What are you doing here?

Not coming in to eat?

If appa finds out

you'll be dead meat!

Common knowledge on a wedding eve

friends chill out and drink

Fathers world over know this

Care to join us?

Are you drinking

because I'm married?

Or because you are still bachelors?

Kanna, come up

You are wanted here

I'm coming

Drink less and eat fast

Kanna, best wishes

for your first night

What do you mean by 'first' night?

Hasn't he seen a night before?

Partner, in every marriage

a girl gets a husband

But a friend loses his friend

Understood?

Tanked, huh?

Grandma, I'm leaving for work

I'm off to work

Old people look forward to

their daughter-in-law

...taking over the household chores

The tables are turned here

Like Indira Gandhi, prim and proper,

with a purposeful stride

'Then who is to do

all the household chores?'

'Who will cook?'

Who will wash the clothes?

Am I her servant maid

to do all this?

'At daybreak women usually

come to my house to work'

'A woman from my household

shouldn't go out to work'

Ganesha

'Yes, bro'

Is the farm house empty?

'Yes, bro, whitewashed

I have it spic and span'

I'll explain later

Come there with the keys

- Yes, uncle

- Don't unload

Wait for a while

We may have to go

somewhere else

Okay!

Hey, what's happening here?

I want her to stop working

and stay put at home

You want them to go

and live separately

What does he know?

You madcap!

I am keeping quiet

because you are my mother

1st you were his grandmother

Then you became his mother

Now mother-in-law, huh?

Go inside!

Amma...!

Mother!

I am leaving half my life behind

Please take good care of my son

As far as I know instead of living

in a joint family after being married

...you are the 1st man

to go live independently

Usually sons argue with their father

Then raise their fists

But like a rooster under a spell,

you agree to whatever your father says

That's how I am

Naresh, why are you doing all this?

Take it from him

You come in

- Sorry

- Please go, Your Highness

- Saw that?

- No, I didn't

You should have been

his brother-in-law, go in

Hey Karuppu

Let me carry an item

No one is scared of me

being their manager!

Karuppa'nna

- How are you?

- I am fine

Kannan is sitting

in the grove outside

What is this?

Before I could return from office,

you've shifted house

Uncle called and told me

Didn't specify any reason

Shall I make some coffee?

I bought milk on the way

And...sorry

Went off to sleep last night

Most probably I must be the only girl

to have slept on her wedding night

Singlehanded I took up

all the wedding preparations

I was so exhausted

Looks like you want to

say something?

Nothing

It's okay

Speak your mind out

Shall we bathe together?

"Chrysanthemum of mine

Island of orange skies sublime"

"You came before me

like golden honey"

"You ignited my dormant masculinity"

"My husband, my true-blue

Brave heart from Tamil Nadu"

"You came like a vision in front of me"

"You fuelled my femininity"

Bharathi

Bharathi

It's early morning

The sun has risen

Why has this 'moon' not yet gone?

- Not going to work today

- Why?

That's how it is

"Hey! Beautiful banker

Lend me a kiss tender"

"I'll offer it with interest

more than the capital you invest"

"If you give yourself as security

and 'will' your life to me"

"As interest with delight

I'll lend myself to you tonight"

"Let your wedding sari crease in our ardor"

"Let it crush some more, my ardent lover"

"Don't postpone it now"

"Don't lock me out, love"

It's a week

Not a single call

- Yes

- How's Kannan?

How do I tell you

the disgusting facts!

- What's so disgusting?

- Come and see for yourself

What are you saying?

"I'll make you my baby

Bother you a little maybe"

"Love, with love as our radius

we'll make out a circle of bliss"

"I'll do household chores for you, love

I'll weed out the garden and grove"

"I'll choose the right time to woo you

into precious motherhood anew"

Hey Kanna, you've changed

so much after marriage?

Doesn't your husband help you?

This specimen?

Have you even lifted 1 tumbler?

From tomorrow I'll do

all the chores, dear

I've doing everything

Kanna, punishment for visiting you, eh?

You've trained him well

"Chrysanthemum of mine

Island of crimson skies divine"

"You came before me

like golden honey"

"You ignited my dormant masculinity"

"My husband, my true-blue

Brave heart of Tamil Nadu"

"You came like a vision in front of me"

"You fanned my femininity"

- Do you work here?

- Er...no

Why were you staring at me?

- I wasn't staring

- Want me to complain?

What happened?

He was looking at me in a weird way

Bharathi means anger

Otherwise Bharathi = courage

Right?

- Right?

- Very good

Watch your step

Don't trip and fall down

Wait here for a minute

I'll be back

This is binoculars, you can see

distant objects at close range

- Want to see?

- You think I'm a blind old lady?

Get lost

He's fastening a clothes peg

on to her petticoat

Good lord!

He'll fasten her blouse next

Grandma, look there

He's making sure

the batter is really sour

I never imagined

bro will change like this

He has become a slave

to her rosy complexion

Uncle, why are you sitting here?

- Please come in

- It's okay

No, please come in

Give this to me

Please sit down

Make an entry and

hand it over to the cashier

Okay, madam

Uncle, my husband told me

you wanted us to live independently

We came out too

We accepted your suggestion

After that you didn't even visit us

What mistake did I commit, uncle?

Whatever I do

will always be right, dear

Your grandma and others

haven't understood you well enough

Your education and job

come across as temerity to them

At this juncture

if we are a joint family...

...their hints and digs at you

Their ignorance will only hurt you

The 1st year of marriage...

...should be happy memories

to recollect later on

I didn't want you to lose that pleasure

That's why I decided

Uncle, I never understood

your thoughtfulness or farsightedness

Please bless me with

a happy, healthy life

It's okay, dear

May you be happy

You'll always do well in life

- Wait, I'll be back

- Okay, sir

Tell me, Arumugam

Do you know this news or not?

What...?

Your son is here

- When...?

- Just now

Look at that!

I called Kannan

but his phone is switched off

His phone is charging here

and he has gone to the market

Please sit, uncle

He's helping with the chores

only after marrying you

Only the 2 of us at home

I leave at 7:00 a.m to the bank

We decided we don't need a maid

We split the work

among ourselves

You can visit us on Sundays

along with Kannan, right?

Where's the time, uncle?

You know how hectic my job is

I work even on Sundays

How is grandma doing?

What does she lack in life?

She'll enquire about you now and then

My dear, bring the lentil soup

you just served

Pour some in my hand

Pack some for me

I'll take it back home

I'm hungry, dear

Come inside

What a surprise, pa

If I knew you were coming,

I would've got meat

It's okay

Come and eat with me

To get a wife who can

cook a gourmet meal

...is a special boon!

Come and eat

What...?

'Is the whole family under her spell?'

Cruel antics of time!

Go and learn how to cook

a tasty gourmet meal

...from my daughter-in-law

All these years I've been fooled by you

about how 'rasam' really tastes!

Hold it, this is how

lentil soup should taste

Chithra

Pour that disgusting stuff!

Pour

Big deal! She has garnished it

liberally with cumin seeds and pepper

He has a tongue that's gone numb!

Bring a plate of rice

Let's taste it

'Days passed by'

What is bothering you, Kannan?

You are here out of the blue?

Bro, it's an urgent necessity

I have no other option

Hello, Kamala Kannan

Please sit

- Making him wait outside?

- Getting his signature

- Take him inside

- Sure

Greetings, bro

- Got your money?

- Yes

- Pay it promptly

- Sure, bro

- Don't make me hit you

- I'll repay, bro

- Shall I take leave, Kannan?

- Sure, sir

Bend low when borrowing

Acting high and mighty

when I ask for repayment

Don't do all that

Understood?

Okay!

Kanna, pick up the phone!

When will you pick up the phone?

Isn't that Kannan?

Why is he talking to this fellow?

Must be some lending and borrowing

between them, come inside

You came home to borrow money

Don't you know to return?

If you intended to return

you would've come home

I never said

it isn't your money, no?

Will you even say that?

What is this, bro?

Hitting me while I'm talking to you

I thought you're educated

and you're trying to cheat royally?

Muthu, did you see that?

They are fighting

Appa, Kamala Kannan anna

He's the one who

helped us with the loan

Come...come

[overlap of voices]

Why are you hitting him?

Who do you think you are?

How dare you hit him!

Muthulakshmi, he'll come home

and borrow 3 lakhs

He won't pay the interest

Won't pick up my calls either

- You want me to pamper him?

- I'll repay you

Isn't there a decorum?

You can hit if you lend money?

Shall I hit you then, man?

If I hit you...

...you'll be humiliated

till your last breath

Kanna, why do you borrow money

from random men?

Don't let your tongue run

because he's your friend, beware!

'Harping about money'

Bro, what happened?

Isn't a man's life important?

If anything happens to Kannan,

I'll murder you

Get lost!

Scrawny fellow

Hey, Alagar

Come fast to our common grounds

Hey, Nagendra

Come out

With whose permission

did you lend money?

Before lending, did you ask

the elders in the family?

I have enough assets to last

for the next 4 or 5 generations

Why should we borrow money from you?

Nagendra, why did you lose your temper?

You hit my grandson who is always

as righteous as Lord Rama

...who doesn't hurt anyone

He doesn't even stamp a worm

You thought no one will defend him?

She's from a respectable family

If she curses us, we won't prosper

Dai, are you coming out

or should I come in?

Nagendra, come out, da

How dare you hit my-

It was wrong on my part to hit him

Forgive me

I should have asked you

before lending the money

Send the money

Give him the money

How could you?

Did you just watch

till he borrowed 300000?

Why is he so short of money?

If he had asked his father

he would've given, so would you

Why does he need so much money?

- She would've told him not to ask

- Who...?

New addition into our family

Walks erect like Indira Gandhi

She married him

just as she wanted, right?

Arrogance! She would have

told him not to ask

The money she spends on

her powder and perfume

...what she earns

is just pittance!

My grandson means the world to me

I need to find out

what the problem is right now

Send word to her mother and brother

Let them come

Ask them to come

If it doesn't work...

...I'll send her back saying

'please go with your mother'

We can deal with the rest later

Hey, Bharathi or Norathi!

Open the door

Hey Bharathi, open the door

Sending your husband

to borrow money...

...what are you doing

sitting at home?

You think there's no one

to question you?

You'll learn your lesson only if

I send you back to your mother

What are you doing over there?

Hello, grandma

'I had a splitting headache

all of a sudden one day'

'Had irritation in my eyes too'

'My husband took me to the hospital'

Place your chin here

Look at my left ear

It's just an ordinary headache

You'll be fine if you take rest

Call your husband

Please sit down

This is a type of eye disorder

It can be congenital

if the mother is afflicted by it

If parents are blood relatives

chances of children being affected is high

It cannot be treated

Genetic disease

Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy

Your wife can lose

her vision any time!

This is Leber's hereditary

optic neuropathy disease

This disease is hereditary

Sorry, it has no cure

Can be passed by genes

of mother to her child

1st they'll become color blind

And gradually lose their vision

Replacing with a good eye won't work

Don't waste your money

Don't get cheated by anyone

Is there no other option?

Sorry, Kannan

Show your wife whatever she wishes

to see in this world as soon as you can

Bharathi

What did the doctor say?

Nothing serious

Only stress it seems

You have a hectic schedule, right?

You'll be fine

if we take off for a while

Is that so?

Of course

I say it all the time

"Half the world has bright daylight

Even the other half is dipped in night"

"Dearest, life exists beyond eyesight"

"Eyes can lie glibly

But the mind is honest truly"

"Trust your mind

Good you'll find"

"Look at the world around you

with a new point of view"

"Accept how society looks at you anew"

"Don't sleep, sweetheart

Don't ever drift apart"

"Apple of my eye, happy always

Connoisseur of live in all ways"

"You are my eyes precious"

"And I am yours, my princess"

"Trust the U in you, my dear

It won't deplete, this love sincere"

"I am your lover, my lovely wife"

"I am your soul mate for life"

I know there is

some problem with my vision

What if I'm unable to see you?

Why are you being so foolish?

Nothing like that

You are fine

Darkness

It's dark

Bharathi...?

I'm scared

- Bharathi

- It's darkness all around me

It's so dark

I'm scared

Bharathi...?

I can't see

- Bharathi

- Kannan, I can't see anything

- Don't worry

- What happened?

What happened to me?

I'm there for you

You will be okay

It's pitch dark

Pitch dark, Kannan

I'm petrified

- I can't see anything

- Don't be scared, Bharathi

Kannan...Kannan

I'm here Bharathi

- I can't see you

- I'm here with you

Nothing to worry

It's very dark

I told him not to tell you, grandma

As it is you don't like me

If you got to know

I've lost my vision

I was worried

you might separate us

I was the one who told him

Not to share anything with anyone

Without anyone knowing...

...he believed he can get me treated

and cure me completely

Sorry, grandma

For not telling you

Please forgive me

Hey Karuppu

Where's everyone?

Your grandma and Muthulakshmi

...gave a solid shelling

to that mongrel who hit you

'Then they came here'

They've rushed to your house angrily

My house?

- Why?

- Why ask me?

You messed it all up

Let's go home

Bharathi...Bharathi

Bharathi's phone is ringing

But she isn't inside

I called your grandma too

But her phone is switched off

Kanna, I just now saw your grandma

drag your wife somewhere

Any problem?

Go to my place, quick

If your phone is snatched away

half the problem will be solved

What is it?

I think we've run out of fuel

It's just body heat

That's all

Chithra, make sure the water

is lukewarm and just right

Okay, ma

Few days ago

even I had blurred vision

I applied a handful of sesame oil

and gave my head a good massage

After my shower

I could see crystal clear

Sometimes because of body heat

...it will affect the eyes

and you'll get a dizzy spell

They won't understand all this

Children these days have studied,

in fact too much

They won't know to assimilate

If you take a bunch of

dwarf copper leaves

Cook it with 'moong' dhal

and eat daily for 48 days

My husband has told me, you can

even see stars in the sky during the day

95 years old and he never

wore glasses till he passed away

He can see long distance

and at close range

His sight must have been 100/100

What is the problem

with your eyes, dear?

Whatever it is

we can handle it

'Don't lose heart'

Chithra, check if the water

is neither too hot nor too cold

'Don't just pour it'

'It's luke warm

and just right'

Let me see

Enough?

Go and get a towel

We'll bathe her

Pour gently

Take care

Don't you know to discern

what to share and what to hide

You've got a degree to boot

I didn't want your wife

to continue working

Have I ever told you

'I don't like her?'

Her mother told me

She can get transferred

to a different city suddenly

What if she takes

...my grandson away from me?

What will I do then?

Listen, I'm the eldest in our family

Will I want to ruin

my own lineage?

If you're my grandson

she's like a granddaughter to me

Forget it

She has lost only her vision

She can still breathe, right?

She can cope and live happily'

Don't think about the expenditure

I'll ensure her vision is restored

You work towards it

Grandma

I got so scared, grandma

'Why, my dear?

What happened to you?'

I was so scared, grandma

'Nothing to worry'

'Your grandma is always here for you

I'll take care of everything'

'Things will get back to normal'

'My guardian deity

will protect you'

'Come, don't cry'

"Come, my fair lady

My life's rhapsody"

"When grey clouds descend

rain on our land is the dividend"

"When kith and kin come down

life has a flavor of its own"

"A loving heart's stance

won't alter in any circumstance"

"Will the height of the sky increase?"

"Or how will it ever decrease?"

"When rain-laden clouds descend

water to our soil is the dividend"

Sir, this is yours

Sir, I'm so glad

you're the manager

Congratulations

I'm very happy

"In love's eyes flaw isn't present"

She slaps me if I say

I don't want 'mehendi'

What to do?

"If fault is found, love is then absent"

"Nothing is insignificant"

"Even a drop of dew is sea to an ant"

"In love's eyes, there's no big or small"

"Drops of water in a river are equal"

Bharathi...Bharathi

"A single person will do

to recite any gospel true"

"But to shower love and affection

don't we need more than 1 person?"

"We were born in some town or city

We united here for eternity"

"Can we mix our colors and merge

for a work of art to emerge?"

"Parakeet's wing will remain green always"

Hey! Seer, you don't wear

saffron 'dhoti' huh?

I stopped

No more prophesies

Knowingly or unknowingly, my oracle

came true for a close family friend

So I'm no longer a medium of our deity

Being humane will do is my policy now

Priest, this is Godliness!

Come here

All the Gods will listen

to a true soul like you

Bless her with sacred ash

Goddess with a 1000 eyes

Grant eyesight to my child

Goddess Shakthi

Grant your power

"A loving heart's stance

won't alter in any circumstance"

"Will the height of the sky increase?"

"Or how will it ever decrease?"

Yes, doctor

A piece of good news

Mr Kamala Kannan

My dean had called me yesterday

In AIMS hospital, New Delhi

...a senior doctor has joined

the Ophthalmology department

There's a chance of your wife

regaining her eyesight

We'll try our best

Let's have hope

Take your wife and

go to Delhi at once

I've fixed an appointment for you

I'll text you the doctor's #

Okay, Kannan?

My wishes to Mrs Bharathi

Okay, doctor

We'll leave immediately

Thanks, doctor

Should we spend this much?

Spend...you madcap!

You are our family's asset

You think you've lost

both your eyes?

There are a dozen eyes

to take care of you at home

Their prayers will protect us

Have faith and be positive

Bharathi, in a fit of rage, seeing you

walk with your head held high...

I said, 'she walks like Indira Gandhi'

Today you are going to Delhi!

Godspeed, come back safe, dear

Bharathi, Dad is here

Go with courage in your heart,

my dear child
