'As I'm Suffering from Love'

Dad. - What's it, dear?

What's a marriage?

Uh? - Marriage..



Why do you ask?
- I want to know, Dad.

Go to sleep.

Dad, I'm not sleepy
and I want to know.

Then go and watch
some cartoon on TV.

No, Dad, I want to know.

Tell me, Dad..

Well..

When a boy and a
girl like each other

and decide to be with
each other forever

they get married.

So, can't two people stay
together if they are not married?

They can stay together.

Then why do they get married?

It is like an official promise.



What?

Like marriage gives them a
reason to not get separated

and locks them into a relationship
wherein they can't separate.

It stops them from
leaving each other.

They lock birds in a cage.

Is it similar to that?
- Drat.. No..

It's just like an
official promise.

So that they don't
leave each other.

But when they have decided to
be together for a lifetime

why would they leave?

Sweetie, it's getting late.
Please go and sleep.

Tell me! - What?

Why do they get married?

Okay. Do you remember?

You and Riya

had promised to be best friends
for life, it's like that.

What! I hate Riya.

When my teacher moved her
to a different class

she made a new best friend.

I'm never going to talk to her.

Sometimes, even that happens.
- What will happen?

Uh.. Nothing.

What will happen?

Nothing, dear.

Okay, Smriti, it's
getting late now.

Please go to bed, come on.

I want to know.
What will happen?

Sometimes, do the boy and the
girl stop talking to each other?

Yes.

Do they get separated later on?
- That's right.

Then what about the marriage?

You won't be able to
understand that, dear.

They have to get divorced.

What's a divorce?

Uh.. That is..

Tell me!

Ok! Why did you
and Riya promise?

You both could have remained best
friends just like that, right?

That was my mistake.

Here on, I will never make
a promise with anyone.

Okay, then don't do it.

Then why do people
continue to get married?

Because they're neurotic
insecure idiots

who need something to
validate everything

in their empty meaningless
lives, to boost their ego

saying that there's someone to
care for them and love them

when the other person is in exactly
for the same reason as they are.

Did you get it now?

Please go to bed now, Smriti.

Dad.

Have you and mom too cancelled
your marriage, Dad?

I'm Balakumar.

I'm a divorcee.

After 10 years of marriage,
nothing worked out.

But I guess it's
all for the best.

It was a healthy divorce.

It wasn't a messy one with fights,
we just shook hands and parted ways.

My ex-wife has remarried.

She met someone recently.

I'm really happy for her.

I'm really very happy for her!

'Really?' - Why not?

Huh.. Of course.

What I mean is past is past.

I'm really happy for her.
I'm happy.

'Why didn't you get remarried?'

Oh, no..

How could you ask
me such a question?

I suffered the first time
around, won't that do?

Am I a fool to do it again?

The fact is I'm not
able to find anyone.

And I have a daughter.

My ex-wife and I share
custody of her.

She'll be at her mother's
place half a week.

And she will spend the
rest of the days with me.

'Oh! What's your profession?'

I'm a reviewer. - 'Uh?'

I write online movie
reviews for a website.

It's on Twitter as well.

Uh. I'm Writer Balku.

I'm 38 years old now.

Here on, in my life

I don't think anything
new is going to happen.

I don't have any
major ambitions.

My daughter is my life.

Every week, when she comes and
spends those three days with me..

I just wait for it.

If she wasn't there,
I don't know what

I would have done
after the divorce.

I love her so much.

'Do you have a jolly time
being with your dad?'

Hmm.

'Do you like staying with
your mom or your dad?'

Stop kidding. She obviously
likes both of us.

'Is that so, dear?'

But the food is better
at my mom's place.

'Oh.'

My mom cooks really well.
- 'What about your dad?'

At my dad's place

it's either Maggi or 'Chapatis.'

'How do they taste?' -
They will taste mediocre.

Every time I get here
I'll keep thinking

when I would get to eat food
cooked by my mom again.

She talks really well.
I love her so much.

Hello, Roomie! - Hello!

Yes!

Actually, she's moving in.

Henceforth, she'll
be staying with me.

It must be around five
months, isn't it?

Hmm. - Yes.

It has been five months
since this started.

'What?' - This..

This bond between us.
Whatever we have.

What is it?

'Are you both dating
or in a relationship?'

Does everything have
to be labelled?

We love each other, that's it.

'Oh, how's it going?'

It's going really well.

'Then why just move in? Why
don't you both get married?'

'Oh, no, sorry, did I bring
up an awkward topic?'

Drat.. Nothing like that.
It's just that

neither of us believe
in marriage.

'What? Why so?'

Why do you get
shell-shocked for that?

Once we are in love the very
next thing people ask us is

'When are you both
planning to get married?'

That's

so wrong.

Marriage is something
that will decide

how two people get to spend
the rest of their lives.

It's like having to decide the next
50-60 years of your life right now.

That's something we
don't believe in.

Moreover, freedom should
be the foundation of love.

That's why this relationship..

Or whatever you want to
name it is so healthy.

'Okay, but where's
this leading to?'

'You both are in love, it's
bound to end in marriage.'

Did you see that?

Even you said that love will end
once a couple gets married.

'Hey, I didn't
mean it that way.'

It's not necessary for
love to end in marriage.

Similarly

one can't say that both will truly
love each other after marriage

no one can guarantee this.
Both are completely different.

When you decide that you're
unhappy being single

and want to be happy, you
decide to get married.

But love..

It is about two happy people
who share their happiness

in spite of them being alone.

Marriage is an arrangement.

But Love.. Love is
a state of being.

'Nice.'

'Hey, wait.. What do both of
your parents feel about this?'

His parents and mine will
definitely not like this.

We're doing this without
their knowledge.

Hmm.. But

we have to let them
know about this soon.

'Why so?'

At my place, they're aggressively
looking for a suitable groom for me.

Daily, they keep sending pictures
of guys referred by others.

When I was a little girl

if some guy would call up
to the landline in my home

and if I receive
the call and speak

my parents would ask me a million
questions as to who it was.

'Why did he call you
up?' And so on.

They were really
strict about that.

But now, they are saying, 'Look
at him, he's handsome.'

'Look at that guy. Speak
with him over the phone.'

They go to the extent of
sharing their numbers.

It's extremely silly.

I didn't like any of those guys,
but they don't listen to me.

This guy looks handsome.
Get married to him.

I'll kill you.

Sorry.

'What about your parents?'

Are you asking me as to how
my family would react?

Have you seen the
film 'Mad Max'?

'Yes, I have seen it.'

Yes! Just like that

my entire family will
arrive from Madurai.

In the film 'Mad Max'

you'd have seen them hang someone
called Blood Bag on the bonnet.

Do you remember? - 'I do.'

My condition will
be similar to that.

What? - Sorry, dear.

'I thought it would be better if your
husband would have been here, too.'

No. I prefer to do this alone.

You can ask him separately.

'Are you fine to do
this separately?'

Uh? - 'Alone?'

Yes.. I'm okay.

'So, how long have you
both been married?'

It has been a month.
- 'Just a month?'

It has been one long month.

'So, how's it? How's
your married life?'

You should ask that
question to her.

Are you asking me about that?
You better ask him.

'This is why I thought of
doing this together...' - Eh?

Things he shouldn't have ideally
done, he has done it all by himself.

And you want us to do
this together, is it?

No need. It's better
we do it separately.

'What exactly did you even do?'

I did absolutely nothing.

We did quite a lot.

How can you attend your
bachelor party in Bangkok

and return without doing anything?
Tell me.

'You are free to do so,
but what about him?'

Whom are you referring to?

Me?

I didn't do anything..

That's right.. He
didn't do anything.

Buddy, it's not a joke.
It's a serious matter.

Don't laugh like this.
Sir, I didn't do anything.

I didn't.. - Even I said the
same and he's convinced as well.

Buddy, how can you laugh?

If you laugh, he'll
misunderstand me, right?

Look here. You said as such,
so, he'll harbour a doubt now.

What sort of doubt?
- Did you see that?

He entertains a doubt now.

You'll have to tell him now.

'No, if you don't wish
to say it, then don't.'

Listen to it.

It happened in Patpong.

Her name was Nee Vaa Sui!

'Nee Vaa Sui, uh?' - That's
right, she's a bar dancer.

'What happened?'

Santhosh who's here
went up to that girl

and asked, 'What is your name?'

And that girl said her name which
translates to 'Come' in Tamil.

He said, 'She's calling
me' and he followed her.

Listen to this.

Would enquire about
what happened

on a trip taken by bachelors?

If that's the case, no
husband can escape.

Aren't girls aware of this?

I sent him on a
bachelors' trip to party.

Not to sleep with Nee Vaa Sui.

'How did you react when you
found out about this?'

Ah, now, you've asked
the right question.

Ask her what she did.

'Actually, when did you
get to know about this?'

I got to know about this
on the wedding night.

Just imagine my situation.

How shocking it would have
been for a newly-wed bride?

I was furious.

'In that case, I'm guessing'

'you both didn't
consummate your marriage.'

She did happen to do it..

But not with me.

What? That was my revenge.

If men go on a bachelors' trip
and do all sort of nonsense

would they expect women
to be understanding?

I wanted him to feel
the same way as I did.

She's a psycho, pal.

'Don't get me wrong,
who's that guy?'

When I ask, she
doesn't say his name.

But I don't give a fuck
about who it is and all.

I'm not even curious
to know about that.

Okay, maybe I'm
slightly curious.

'What do you do?' - I'm
an HR Professional

in a corporate company.

I'm working for a
corporate company, but

that's not my life's calling.

Uh.. I'm an aspiring actor.

'Aspiring.'

I've done a couple of
brand endorsements and

I've also essayed a
character role in a film.

But I'm very choosy.

I don't do any random
stuff and all, you know.

I like to get into the
skin of the character and

it's like that.

He was seen dancing
like a lunatic

in the background in two
flip-flop commercials.

And in a film, he was seen
drinking tea in the background

while the hero was
talking in the scene.

He took 10 takes to
act in that scene.

In spite of all these goof-ups

he behaves as if he's similar to
Leonardo DiCaprio who won an Oscar.

'How does it go
everyday at night?'

Hey! What's this? Uh?

What's this?

Does it match the
decor of this house?

Hey, this is cinema, damn it.
Art.

You won't get it.

It's a vintage camera. - Hello..

Who are you? Who do
you think you are?

Are you a cameraman?
Or a photographer?

You've whiling away time
in the name of acting. Eh?

You're getting emotional
over this freebie gift.

It's my good luck charm.

Only after this was placed here

I got a chance to essay a
role in that film. - Hey!

Didn't they edit that
scene out of the film?

Hey, shut the fuck up, okay.
My house, my rules, okay?

Balls!

'How do you get by everyday?'

With a lot of alcohol.

Get lost!

Hey! How dare you shove me? Eh?

You know what I'm
capable of, right? Eh?

I will gouge your eyes out.
Got it?

What are you looking at?

I'll whack you..
- Hey, come on, do it. Let me see. - Hey!

Hey.. - Will you hit me? Do you
have the guts to whack me?

Touch me.
- You want me to touch you, right?

Here it is, I did.

I've touched you now,
what will you do?

Are you scared..

Hey, she got scared.
You better fear me..

Hey, come.. - Damn you.

Oh, no! Hey!

Damn, you kicked me. Oh, no!
- Scoundrel..

Fool! - Okay..

'You better fear me.'

'In spite of all this, if
you both are together'

'it means that you both are
ready to forgive each other'

'and give your marriage a second chance.
Am I right?'

That's not the case.

Here on, my life's goal
is to destroy his life.

I'll be with her, torture her
physically, mentally and financially.

He should regret all his
life for what he did to me.

I will never ask for a divorce.

But I'll inflict torture
on her to such an extent

that she won't be able to
take it, she will come to me

and she will plead
me to divorce her..

I'll behave like a noble woman
in front of the others..

I'll make her seem to be
a villain to the others.

I'll snatch his wealth and
ruin his peace of mind.

I'll make her cry
and send her away.

Then I'll enjoy the rest
of my life as per my wish.

I'm just getting started..
- I'm just getting started.

'They're psychos.'

So, our wedding is going to
be celebrated for four days.

A pre-party henna ceremony
and a music ceremony.

Wedding will take place
and then the reception.

Engagement will go
on for two days.

One will be the
pre-engagement ritual.

Then the engagement post which
there will be an after-party

for our friends.

'So, what's happening today?'

This party is to announce all
the events to our friends.

You can call it a
pre-pre-engagement party.

'What does RT stand for?
Is it 'Retweet'?'

No! That's actually our
initials, Raghav & Tanvi.

It's a co-incidence that
it's like RT and retweet.

So, I guess we're going to be
a trending couple after all.

Also, we're going to hashtag
our marriage updates

and make it trend on
Facebook and Twitter.

And on our WhatsApp
marriage group.

'Oh! You have a WhatsApp group
dedicated to your marriage, is it?'

Yes, we created it today.

So, we've added all those people
whom we are acquainted with to it.

Photos, selfies and updates

pertaining to our
wedding will be there.

Tanu, dear. - Yes.

Why is that Sunitha and
Shekar are not in the group?

I added them, why don't
you check again?

'Are your friends okay with that?'
- Well, they don't have a choice.

May be they exited the group.

Nonsense, it has been 10
minutes since I created it.

Look here. Arjun
also left the group.

Well, our friends are very happy for us.
- Yes.

See you. - Yes!

All these sort of things
happen in a party, right?

That's right..
- Hey, one second. - Okay.

Hey, hi, are you having fun?
Can I get you something?

'Oh, thanks. That's okay.'

'Why don't you introduce
your friends?'

I was just going to do that. They
have been coming in just now.

And she, who has
been my best friend

since my schooldays
is going to be here.

Hey, Tanvi. - Hey, hi!

Hi, dear. - Hello.

How are you? - This is Divya, my
best friend since my schooldays.

Hi, Badri.. - Hi. - How are you?
- I'm fine. How are you? - I'm fine.

Thank you so much for coming.

No problem.
- This is Badri, her boyfriend.

And both of you just
feel comfortable, okay?

Tell me if you need anything..
- Yes.. Sure.

Sure.. - And, Divya

we have so much catching up to do.
- I know, right?

Even I've a lot of things
to discuss with you.

So, I'll just go and receive
all the other guests..

All right. - and then sit down, okay?
- Yes.

Hey! Hi! - Divya.

Where's the food? - Come.

And you won't believe what
Vineeth did that day.

I'll see you.
- Oh! Just one second. - Okay.

Hey, Raghav. - Hey.. Buddy! Hi.

Sir, please come.

He is Mr. Balakumar.

I mentioned that I run
a movie website called

'Everything Kollywood'. He's the
Chief Film Reviewer in that.

Oh, nice.. - Where's your dad?

Here. - Oh!

Oh! - Hello.

How are you.. - Hi.

Mr. Balakumar.

Balakumar, this party
involves alcohol.

And you have brought
your kid to it.

I know. But today is my
turn to look after her.

I did check with her mother, but she
has already made some plans. - Oh.

But you don't worry.
I'll take care of her.

She won't be a
disturbance to you.

No.. I don't consider
her a disturbance.

What I'm trying to say is..
- Okay, let's do the announcement now.

But my cousin isn't here yet.
- He's always late, Raghav.

Leave him be. In sometime,
everyone will get drunk.

Let's do it now.

Come.. - Okay.. See you.

'As we're suffering from love..
- As we're suffering from love..'

'We would like to grant us leave..
- We would like to grant us leave..'

'...from our bachelor lives.
- From our bachelor lives.'

'And get us admitted..
- And get us admitted..'

'...in the hospital called marriage.
- In the hospital called marriage.'

'And never be cured..
- And never be cured..'

'...of this illness.
- Of this illness.'

'Ever till we both die..
- Ever till we both die.'

Yes.. - Cheers. - Cheers!

Let's get the party started..
- Woohoo! - Woohoo!

Hey! Shit!

Oh, shit. - Oh, my God!

Damn, you. Fuck..

Fuck! Fucking bitch, what
did you do to my car?

Get up.

Oh, my God!

That's my cousin Santhosh
and his wife Meera.

Oh! Is that so..
- Hey.. Careful.

What's this? What happened?

I guess the party
is getting started.

"We caught a glimpse of
them and we fell for them."

"We fell head over heels in
love and had a jolly time."

"We are ignoring
the warning signs"

"and proceeding."

"It turned out to be a pretence.
- Yes!"

"The terms of endearment whispered
was all a pack of lies."

"The love we had for each other"

"doesn't exist now."

"They went to Ooty
on honeymoon."

"She inflicted torture on him."

"Ding.. Dong.. Ding. Love
is an awesome feeling."

"One damn thing is that to me,
it is a never ending suffering."

"Ding.. Dong.. Ding."

"Love is an awesome feeling."

"One damn thing"

"is that to me, it is a
never ending suffering."
