'What's your most
favourite song?'

There are many.

But I think it should be

'When you say nothing at all.'

We both love that song a lot.

So many nights, we've slow
danced to that song, right?

"The touch of your hands
says you'll catch me"

"whenever I fall.. - Take this!"

"Hey! Take this!"

"Hey! Take this!"



"Hey! Take this!"

"Hey! Take this!"

You know the song, right?
Sing along.

"The touch of your
hands says you'll.."

That's not it.

"The touch of your hands
says you'll catch me"

"whenever I fall. - Here!"

"Hey! Take this!"

"Hey! Take this!"

"Hey! Take this! - Baby."

"Baby.."

"Baby.."

I love this song a lot.

Justin Timberlake.



Awesome.

'This song was sung
by Justin Bieber.'

I know this song was
sung by Justin Bieber.

I was just saying that Justin
Timberlake is awesome.

"Coca Cola is brown in colour."

"My sister's daughter is
brown in colour as well."

"Baby.."

In '500 Days of Summer'

there's a beautiful French song.

It goes like this.

I think you don't know French.

Maybe that's the reason you're
not able to appreciate it.

Just follow the tune.

Now, I'll sing in Bass tone.

"Hey, I look like an ordinary guy.
If you stare at me"

"you'll get petrified."

"If I start abusing"

"you will be better off dead."

"If I just hit you"

"you'll sustain a grave injury."

"Rowdyism is a different
ballgame altogether."

"I won't speak politely."

"That's how.. Mari is.."

Bravo..

It's a beautiful song.

"Hey, I look like an ordinary guy.
If you stare at me"

"you'll get petrified."

"Ice creams are
plenty and colourful"

"and my lover's lips are
as sweet as ice cream."

"Go.. - That's how.."

"Baby.."

"What's your favourite song?"

"This is a father's lullaby."

Wow!

"After hearing his daughter
speak, he was on cloud nine."

'Superb, sir.'

I really love that song.

My ringtone is also that theme track
from 'Deiva Thirumagal' film.

'Nice..'

'What do you listen to
when you're alone?'

There's nothing of that sort.

Nothing in particular.

"My dear foolish heart"

"do not desire for a girl.."

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

"One damn thing"

"it is a never
ending suffering."

'As I'm Suffering from Love'

Good Morning, sir!

That temporary headmaster who
used to target me and torture me.

I got to know now that
he's Divya's father.

At school, we never
got to know his name.

We used to call
him, 'Sher Khan..'

He..

Probably, he would have
never laughed in his life.

Oh, no, it's Sher Khan.

Good morning, sir!
- Good morning, sit down.

He used to carry a cane
hidden under his sleeve.

Whenever it's required, you'll
get a strong whack on your butt.

At school, no matter whenever or
wherever I do something wrong

he'll spot me like a satellite
and punish me right away.

Look at your hands, long nails.

Why can't you cut
your nails, why?

Dirty shoes.

Won't you polish your shoes?

Can't you answer when a
question is being asked?

Won't you answer? - Sir.

What do you want me to say?

How dare you ask me that!
- Sir..

Are you a hooligan? Wear
that collar button.

Wear that collar button..

Sir.. I'm wearing it..
- Wear it..

You're constantly
talking in the class.

Will you talk? Will you?

Will you speak? - Sir, not me.

It's he who's always
talking to me.

Finger on your lips.

Dad, he's just joking.

This is Badri.

Oh, hi, Badri.

I'm Divya's father. - Hi, sir.

Please come.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, dear. - You were supposed
to be here an hour back.

Why are you both late?

Sir.. Sorry, sir..

The cycle tyre was flat,
that's why we were late.

Hey. What are you blabbering?

We left a bit late.

Are you going to make us
kneel down for being late?

Kneel down? S-Sorry, sir.
Please, sir.

I won't be late again.

I was looking at the clock
all the while, that's why..

Sit down.

No, it's okay. - Sit down.

No, it's okay. - Sit down!

What are you doing?
- You go and get us coffee

also get some snacks and sweets..
- Hey..

What are you doing?

Sher Khan!

What?

Why are you both
whispering to each other?

It wasn't me, sir.

She's the one always talking to me.
I didn't do anything, sir.

What happened?

Uh?

Meera. Meera, hold on a minute.

I think I know what's happening.

She got jealous.

She couldn't take it that

me and that hot counsellor
hit it off so well.

Girls fighting for me isn't
something new to me.

But..

Meera getting jealous

was a surprise to me.

Does that mean she still
has feelings for me?

"My dear foolish heart.."

Hello, tell me.

'Hello? Sir, where are
you at the moment?'

I'm just going to go pick
up my daughter from school.

What's it?

'Sir, you gave a bad review for
'Veera Selvan' film, right?'

Huh. - 'That director
is damn pissed off.'

'He called up our office and
has been swearing at us.

Sir, everyone has given a bad
review for that film, right?

'He's been calling everyone
and talking to them, sir.'

'But he seems to be
more pissed with us.'

'Moreover, he asked
for your number.'

Oh, no! For God's sake,
don't give it to him.

'Oh, is that so?'

What? Did you give it to him?
- 'Yes, sir.'

Oh, God!

Hey! There's a call
waiting, will that be him?

'Sir, that must be him.'

'You talk to him, I'll hang up.'

Hey! Don't hang up..
Stay on the line.

He'll think the line is busy
and will hang up. Let him.

'Hello.'

Hello.

Hello, is this Balakumar?

That's me and you?

Fucker!

Excuse me!

What the fuck do you
think of yourself?

Sir, speak respectfully.

Hey! Do you consider
yourself a big shot

with just a review
page and a website?

Do you even realise what we
go through to make a film?

Sir, everyone had given a bad
review for your film, right?

Hey, you don't talk about it.

Do you realise what you've done?

I had managed to get a
producer for my next project.

He called up and read
your review to me.

And has asked me to
come to his office now.

What should I do if I lose
this project because of you?

Sir, nothing of that
sort will happen.

Sir, look, I just did my duty.

Hey..
- Even the general audience

felt the same. - General audience?
- It seemed forced. - Hey!

You had converted a
drama into a melodrama.

Hey, dick!

Sir, don't you swear at me.

I will swear at you bloody dick.

What do you know
about melodrama?

Hey! I had directed a
Chinese new wave film.

Hey! You have no
idea about that.

Hey! Have you ever
watched a Chinese film?

Tell me.. Come on.
- I have watched many, sir.

Hey! Fucktard!

Name one film from that.

I know where you live, I'm
coming there right now.

Sir! Oh, no!

Sir, don't come home, my
daughter will be there.

Don't do anything like that.
Don't!

Oh, your daughter is there too, is it?
I'm coming there..

Hey! Just name one film that you know of..
I'll let you go now. Come on.

Tell me.

Tell me. - Sir, that's..

Come on.

Tell me.

Tell me. Tell me before
I count to three.

One, two..

'Kung Fu Hustle!'

Fucker, you're done now!

What happened, Meera?

You said the counselling session was
just for namesake.. - Where's it?

Why are you getting so serious?
- Where's it?

Hey, that's my PS3 remote. Damn!

Oh, God! Hammer! Hey.. Stop that..
Don't do it.

Bloody wretch.. Hey!

Fuck! You're crazy..

Have you gone nuts?

Why are you behaving
like a mad dog?

Hey! That's how I'll behave.

What's your problem now? Huh?

Did me flirting with that
counsellor make you jealous?

Jealous, uh?

Don't flatter yourself.

As if you're going to get her.

You were shamelessly
gawking at her.

She didn't even care about it.

Hey!

Is it pissing you off?

Nothing of that sort.

Look at this.

She held me, gave me her
number and said, 'Call me.'

She must've thought you're
crazy and needed treatment.

Hey! Don't speak as
such out of jealousy.

Hey! Your phone's ringing.
Pick up that damn phone.

Hey! You broke my PS3 remote..
- Don't you dare touch me!

I'll kill you.

Bloody wretch, you're a psycho..

Why do you behave like this?

Did I ask you to take me
to a counselling session?

It's you who took
me to it, right?

Okay, what was the need for
that counselling session?

Tell that to me first.

Hey, I had my reasons.

What is that reason?

Oh, you wouldn't care.

I do care.

Hello!

Of course, you wouldn't care.
- Hey.. Santhosh!

Hello - Hello?

Hello. - Hey, hold on a minute..
- Hello?

Hello' - Hey, what's it?

Hey, buddy.

I'm standing outside Director
Gautham Menon's office.

Really?

Auditions are going on here.

He asked me how I will
look without beard.

I showed him a picture of us.

He saw you and has called
you for an audition.

What are you saying?
Are you serious?

Yes, buddy.

Did Mr. Gautham
himself ask for me?

Yes, he was the one who
asked you to come.

'I want to see him, ask
him to come right away.'

He spoke just like the villains
portrayed in his films.

Buddy, this is a
great opportunity.

'Pandiya!'

'Hey, Tamil Nadu Police,
fucker, come here.'

'Hey, I'm ACP Anbuselvan,
I'm coming there. Fucker!'

'Hey, Anbuselvan,
come here soon.'

'I feel responsible.'

'Maya!'

'I'm coming now.'

'Come on.. Encounter
specialist, come on.'

Buddy, what's his
office address?

Hey! Good thing you asked.

It's his office in Thrivanmiyur.

Don't go to that coffee shop
thinking he'll be there.

Okay, buddy.
- I'll say it. Note down the address.

No. 6..

Let's do it.. - Let's not do it.

Shit!

Why did you bring up this
topic all of a sudden?

Just like that, it came up.

I mean..

If you don't think we make out
enough, you should tell me.

Hmm.

So then, uh..

Are we still sticking
by what we agreed upon?

Regarding?

Not to do it before marriage.

Oh! Umm.

Well..

Do you want to? - Not that..

I was..

I was wondering..
Yes, I want to.

Really?

Or you're just saying
because I'm saying it.

No.. I really want to.

And it's natural, right?

I mean, everybody does it.

I'm sure

Divya and Badri also would've..

Yes.

Maybe they would've.

Yes, must have.

And we're getting engaged
in a couple of days. - Hmm.

If you want to

I think we should.

What do you mean?

Is it for me or

for you?

Freeze!

Fuck!

Wow, what a candid shot!

Got a perfect one, sir.

Such a candid moment.

Expressions have
been captured well.

Do it one more time, please.

No.. Not required.

Sir, please. - No need, sir.

Sir. - See.

It's been ruined.

Anyway, come, take a seat.

Actually, I've got a few
photographs for reference.

We will have a look at it.

It's just for reference, don't
think I'm going to replicate.

My ideas are always original,
this is just an inspiration.

We require two looks as far as
pre-engagement is concerned.

One is traditional,
another is modern.

But it should be a candid one.

No staging.

Only then your true emotions

and chemistry will
reflect aptly.

Exactly like the one,
I clicked just now.

Wow, what a moment!

That's right. - Amazing!

If you hadn't jumped in, the
moment would've extended.

You were the one who ruined it.

Sir. When someone is in
such a beautiful moment

my job is to jump in to
click and ruin that.

I've been thrashed many times on
Marina Beach because of intruding.

And haven't been spared by the dogs
either during their mating season.

You're upset that I jumped in.

Look at this one.

See.

It's very nice, right?

And that's candid photography.

Then

so it's scheduled for
early morning tomorrow?

Do we have to do
it early morning?

Definitely, sir. The lighting
will be good, let's not miss it.

So, be ready at 6 a.m. sharp.

Else, I will jump in
tomorrow like I did today.

So, please be on time.

Bye.

So

It's early in the
morning tomorrow.

Yes. - Hmm.

I'll be here at 5 a.m. sharp.

Hmm. Okay.

Okay, then I'll leave.

Uh!

Why.. Why don't you stay here?

Why? - Nothing.

If you stay here tonight

we can wake up early tomorrow
and get ready, right?

But the costumes for the
photo-shoot are at my place.

Oh, sorry.

I forgot about that.

Okay.

Then you leave.

And get here early tomorrow.

Okay, bye.

Hey..

Dad, take this.

What's it, dear?

Hey!

Why do you look dull?

I had written an essay
and submitted it.

My English teacher read that

and said that it's
not at all good.

And awarded me 3 marks
out of 10, Dad.

She also left a
remark, 'Very Bad.'

Let it go, dear.

You can write it well the next time.
Let it be.

I really worked hard on it, Dad.

I even gave up my weekend
play time for writing this.

I wrote it well. Why don't
you read it and let me know?

Look, dear.

When you're sure that
you wrote it well

you don't have to get
upset about it..

But why didn't she like it?

Look, dear.

Now

we can't expect everyone
to like everything we do.

Everyone's got a
different taste.

We should be contented first.

We should do what we love.

Okay? If others like
it, it's great.

If not, we have at least
done what we love, right?

That happiness is enough.

Okay? - Okay, Dad.

Now, let's see you smile.

Okay!

Okay, shall we get ice
cream on the way?

Okay!

Did she mention anything to you?

What have they decided?

Wait, we will find
out leisurely.

They've just come.

Why are you in such a hurry?

What do you do, Badri?

Sorry, sir!

Oh, God, please take that.

He was asking what
your profession is.

That...

I'm a freelancer.

Eat first.

He doesn't know when
to ask questions.

No. - Have food
and then tell us.

Okay!

What are you doing
as a freelancer?

I-I'm a freelance designer..

Let him eat.

He's incorrigible.

You can answer once you're done.

Dad, Badri is a
freelance designer.

I asked him, right?

Let him reply to it.

Can't you answer when
a question is asked?

I freelance as a designer.

But my passion is
stand-up comedy.

So, I'm doing that as well.

Stand-up comedy? What's that?

Stand-up comedy means

telling jokes standing
on a stage, sir.

Is it like Crazy Mohan's plays?

It's not like that, Mom.

He will be alone on
stage telling jokes.

Will he stand alone
and crack jokes?

Who watches it?

Many do.

Chennai is catching up to it.

People even buy
tickets to watch.

Sometimes at a cafe or a bar.

I've been performing quite well.

Bar? - At a bar?

Are you telling your
jokes to drunkards?

Oh, God, Dad.

It's not the local ones
as you might think.

They're classy pubs.

Sometimes, people come down
to just listen to him.

He doesn't have a
sense of humour.

Once at his school farewell

the students mocked and
made a joke about him.

Instead of enjoying
it, he beat them up.

He has no sense of humour.

That was in the past.

Nowadays, I get every joke.

I've been watching a
lot of comedy on TV.

What genre is your
comedy, Badri?

Me?

I mostly say sarcastic jokes.

Oh! Can you just tell us one?

Huh? Joke, uh?

Dad, how's it possible
now all of a sudden?

Why, dear, isn't that his job?

He'll tell us now,
look, go ahead.

What would you like to hear?

Crack a joke about a
teacher or a headmaster.

Mocking teachers?
- Yes, go ahead.

See now how sportively
I will take it.

Tell me, Badri.

Yes, sir!

Why are you standing? Sit
down and say the joke.

No, sir. I'm used to standing.

Sit down, Badri!

Yes, sir!

How does this flavour taste?

Who's that?

It's Veeraselvan, you fucker!

Are you ready? Mr. Gautham
Menon is waiting for you.

I'm ready.. - Come, let's go.

Hello, excuse me.

Who are you?

Sir, my name is Santhosh,
I came for the audition.

Isn't Mr. Gautham Menon here?

Shit.

Excuse me, Mr. Santhosh.

He won't be here, I take
care of the auditions.

I'm the associate director
of this movie. Okay?

My name is Clap Dhanapal.

Sir, oh, does that mean, do you clap
during the shoot? Bloody nonsense!

Idiotic fellow.

Mr. Santhosh.

Last assistant directors are the
ones who clap during shoots.

This name was rewarded by the
people of the film industry.

Understood? That
is, Clap Dhanapal.

If at all there's a
clap scene in the film

I'll be the first to get a call.

Because I've 20 years of
experience in this industry.

Give respect and
take respect, okay?

Because I'm the associate
director of this movie.

Mind it, no more questions.

Oh, that's great.

But I've been to Mr. Gautham
Menon's office earlier

I've not seen you till date.

Even I haven't
seen you till now.

Bloody buggers.

I've been trying to join him,
but he never takes me in.

Because he doesn't get how
experienced I am. But right now

he took me in because the
producer asked him to.

Oh, so with no option left..

He's talking too much.

Shall we get to the scene?

Do it.

Does he not know English?

Do it!

Okay, sir. Sir, what
are you looking for?

I've practiced with a modulation..
- Look at that.

Just like the tone from Gautham's films.
- Stop it, I say.

Can you just perform now?

Okay, sir.

'Do you know what you've done?'

'And how you've done?
Do you know it?'

'You've turned my
life upside down.'

'Why did you do it?'

'Tell me, give me a reply.'

Did you realise
what you did now?

Look at him blink.

You guys have a notion when it comes
to Gautham Menon's films, is it?

Clap Dhanapal is here
to break that notion.

I want

commercial

crime

horror

comedy and thriller..
All these elements.

One-liners, emotions, I'll mix
them up and change his style.

I've been asking him to discuss
with me, but he's refusing.

But I'm going to change
that in the auditions.

I want you to be energetic,
and open your mouth

and perform with a
lot of emotions.

And then don't speak
respectfully with her.

It sounds lame.

Just curse at her.

That's the trend now.

Forgot to mention.

Do you know foul language?

But you should use them aptly.

Do you need help?

Come on, do it.

Do it.

Do it.

Why, sir?

This dialogue is in
Gautham Menon's style.

In his films, women are
given utmost respect.

He's never disrespectful.

It has been my wish to
speak as such for long.

Even he has written
it in that way.

This is what women
like these days.

Bloody, who said so?

Huh?

A girl had come
for the audition.

She's determined to follow
my style of performance.

If modern women like such things,
why shouldn't we change ourselves?

In fact, she's going to
audition now along with you.

She's here for the auditions.

I'll call her now.

Meera.

Come out.

Santhosh is a huge fan
of Gautham Menon.

His life's aim was to act
in one of his films.

But I'll tell you what.

He can't act for nuts.

But he's going to try forever.

See, I understand how
important this is for him.

And that's why I'm going to
go there and ruin it for him.

"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."

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

"The love we had"

"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"

"it is a never
ending suffering."

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

"One damn thing"

"it is a never
ending suffering."
