Greetings
'Brother-in-law, stop!'
My sister just vomited She's pregnant
Must be indigestion, I say
'She's pregnant Even the doctor confirmed it'
Er...I am so sorry
The astrologer who said my wife won't conceive
...has been proved wrong
Can we put this alliance on hold for 9 months?
If a daughter is born I'll come here for sure
'1st wife is Vanavan Madevi'
'They had 4 daughters'
How sad I don't have a son
According to our astrologer I won't have a child
Or else won't I make your wish come true?
A fleeting thought crossed my mind
Shall I...get married again?
So you have fixed a bride?
No...er...just a thought crossed my min-
Instead of a random stranger being my rival...
I prefer my sister fighting with me over you!
'She got her sister Panjavan Madevi married to her husband in pomp and style'
'But God's plan was far superior to the 3 knots Perunazhi tied'
'Eldest daughter Mangamma'
'...fell in love with her classmate and ended up being pregnant!'
Don't take us for granted We'll dice you to pieces
The boy is from a decent family
Let us get our daughter married to him
'Mother was to deliver anytime and the daughter entered her 7th month'
We are the laughing stock of all the villagers, ma
They are saying both the goat and its kid are expecting!
'Contractions started for Panjavan Madevi'
Try and bear the pain
[ululating]
I think our landlord is a father again
3 means girl 5 means boy
[ululating continues]
Another daughter, huh?
I pity those poor women!
Listen to me, dear
You get married again, even if this village doesn't ridicule us
...our in-laws will
Our daughter will deliver anytime Listen to me please
All you want is a son
God will definitely grant your wish
Don't you like girl babies, father?
Come here, my dear children
Sit down with me
Why would I name you 'Rani' if I didn't like you girls?
This is Mangamma Rani
Velunachiyar Rani
Samyuktha Rani
Jhansi Rani
Here's the new addition
Padmavathy Rani
True to your name you should grow up as queens
And lead a royal life in the house you marry into
But after I die, don't you need a prince to take care of all of you?
'The twist in this story is'
'...his daughter Mangamma gave birth to a son'
- Father - Bless you, my child
Haven't you always wanted a son?
- Take him, pa - Let me hold him
You bring him up as your own son, father
My husband and his parents also agreed
You have a heart of gold just like your father
I feel so happy hearing you say this
Let us feed 5000 people to celebrate his birth
Your wish is our command
What shall we name this little prince?
Sivagamiyin Selvan
Your words are like ambrosia to me, dear
Hold him
Still...how can I treat my grandson as my son?
I will be truly happy, only if my son emerges out of my bloodline
You thought of having a grand escape?!
I want a lion cub
'This is the most crucial part'
'That 'Sivagamiyin Selvan' is Yours truly!'
'Mangamma is my amma'
Are the men here to take the banana bunches?
My dear!
Good news Your wife is pregnant
But I was told she can't conceive?
'Look at the screenplay for a boy to be born!'
'God is great'
Sir, in all the temples thrice a day
...we are praying for you to be blessed with a son
Today is a very auspicious day
The day Lord Muruga destroyed the demons
'At last his 5th baby was born through his 1st wife'
'The sister acted as midwife and delivered the baby'
My youngest son is the lion cub I wanted
[ululating]
'Kadaikutty Singam' [Youngest Lion Cub]
[rejoicing continues]
'I am as scared as I am overjoyed!'
Why so?
5 sisters and 5 brothers-in-law
Wonder how many children they will have?
How many of their daughters will insist on marrying my only son?
Uncle, brother-in-law, brother, son or grandson
Wonder what difficulties he has to face in life!
'Tamilians known for their bravery and self dignity are participating'
'...in the popular bullock cart race in Neduvasal today'
'We welcome the young guardian Mr Kodiyarasu, presiding this event'
'...on behalf of the committee conducting this festival'
Just 1 selfie
She'll post it in FB for sure
Okay, brother
Hey! Who are you? Flirting with one of our girls
You'll preserve our dignity You'll win the race

1 garland isn't enough We need 2 more
- Why? - I just drove the cart
My brothers were the actual runners
This sounds interesting

Here you go

Please take
Thanks, dear
Grandpa, this one
Sir, it tastes delicious
- What's this? - Hibiscus flower tea
- Good for heart - Very good, sir
Quickly let me tell you what I came here for
In the coming election...
...after taking your permission
- I want to run for a post too - With my permission?
No one in this village will pay heed to me and vote
I don't need the villagers' votes
It's enough if people in your clan vote for me
You aren't just another person here
This village belongs to you
There are 5367 votes
We did a survey
- All that is fake - Really...?
I didn't know about it all along
Instead of going around the world like Lord Muruga...
...I want to faithfully follow your footsteps like Lord Ganesha
Please do the needful, sir
Your mythological stories are quite good
Who pays heed to Ranasingam's words?
People listen only to Gunasingam!
You mean your son?
Please ask him to come
He has gone to plough the fields
Why don't you do this?
My granddaughter's ear-piercing ceremony is on January 24th
If you attend that function...
...you can meet everyone there
Thank you very much, sir
I'll take leave, sir What is this?
We usually give this to our guests
Good family
Uncle, your elder sister is here
- Father - Wait, sir
Please come definitely for the ear piercing ceremony
You must all come
Son-in-law, have you invited everyone?
Whenever we celebrate a function...
...some of our relatives nurse a grouse and don't turn up
At least in this function bring everyone together
- Sure, uncle - Why have a family feud?
Sister, invite him too
He's my teacher too Not yours alone
Kindly attend my children's ear-piercing ceremony
Bro-in-law, you've added their degree as suffix to all the names
But it's missing in my name
They all are well educated so we added their qualifications
But you've passed only 10th grade
You've added Dr for the doctors
Er for Engineers
Even for bro-in-law Vadivelu you have added 'Press' as a prestige symbol
For an agriculturist, you could have added 'farmer' as suffix proudly, right?
People will laugh if I do that
I'll hit those who laugh with my slippers
Print 'Gunasingam'
Followed by 'Farmer'
It will look dignified
Even I earn 1.5 lakhs per month
All occupations have retirement
Only a farmer never retires you know
Nowadays people need to be reminded farming is our national occupation!
Soooper, uncle
Your turn to reply, father
- Son-in-law - Uncle
He is justified in his query
- You write 'farmer' on the invitation - Sure, uncle
How can only my brother's profession be handwritten?
I can't accept that Print new invitations
Print again?
No need to spend unnecessarily
I'll take care of the return gifts and trousseaux
I'll take leave, ma
We'll take leave, uncle
'My sister and brother are having their ears pierced today'
'My mother's brother Gunasingam...'
'...with the entire town looking at him in awe as center of attention'
'...is striding like a king now with immense respect showered on him'
'There's an article on my uncle in' Pasumai Vikatan' magazine'
'Isn't he handsome?'
Your father
Welcome, pa
- Has everyone arrived? - My older brother hasn't come
He has sent word he can't make it
He has erected a banner instead My younger brother is inside
Welcome
Only you have the luck to mingle with girls who are 'kissing cousins'
I meet cousins who are like my siblings
- Shucks! - What...?
Girls who look at you smile brightly like a 1000 watts bulb
Can't they smile at me at least like a zero watts bulb?
- Such is your horoscope! - Horrorscope!
How are you, uncle?
- Bro? - Go stuff your face with food
[indistinct voices]
Okay
Once you tell me we can start
Wipe your sweat with this
- Father wanted to leave early too - Uncle, that side
'I don't know when she will get it from me!'
Look how this Andal is impressing her uncle
Hypocrite!
I think everyone will decide she is Miss Right for him
How is that possible?
What are we here for?
No one can change Poompozhil Chellamma from marrying our brother
He was born from our mother's womb
Not our mother's sister's womb
'Legislature is in session'
Uncle
Did you notice?
Your 5 sisters will show off to the world as if they are so united
But there are 2 factions within
One is A division
Other is B division
Let the function get over Watch the fun
See how they poke at each other!
The children are blessed to have an uncle and grandfather like you both
Hair will grown within a month So don't worry
Welcome, that's my eldest daughter This is my 2nd daughter
- Sit on grandpa's lap - Sit...sit
Only today
Then even in your dreams you can't sit on his lap!
This place is registered and documented in my name, okay?
I won't, get lost!
Here's a banana, open your mouth
Do you like it?
- Wow! - Wait, dear
Don't cry
You are a good boy
Is your brother King of Generosity?
Let's go, they can keep their trousseau!
He's doing everything as per our custom
Look at our daughters walking away in a huff
Ask their grandmother to bless them
She will be 90 years very soon, right?
Bro, come here
How many sovereigns did you give your nieces?
May be around 18 sovereigns
For my daughter's ear-piercing function father gifted only 6 sovereigns!
To gift 18 sovereigns, was your daughter born in the city?
Am I right, bro-in-law?
If it's custom, you must be impartial to all
Why this pretension?
Started, huh?
The chap who does nothing gets away scot-free
We stab the one who bends backwards on a vengeful spree!
Look at your daughter's neck
Look at your son's neck
Hey, brother, listen
Valuable income, huh? Thank you, uncle
Difference of opinion will arise among siblings, son-in-law
But when there's a function at home...
...if you come, he doesn't and if he comes, you don't turn up
Once broken, it cannot be glued Please turn a blind eye
To unite Thamarai Manala Sendaiyar and Malligai Manala Sendaiyar is my duty
- Hey, come here - What, ma?
Now do you realize why we were gifted with gold chains?
Why spend so much?
This isn't expenditure It's called savings
Savings is not just accumulating money
Uniting relatives is also an asset
How can you sleep if you aren't generous?!
Stay the same way
- Don't change - Okay, pa
Come, let's all eat
- Please come - Uncle
- Chain is beautiful - Do you like it?
- Okay, go eat - Uncle?
Poompozhil Chellamma is your own sister's daughter
I'm your half-sister's daughter
General talk is you'll marry only her
Is that true, uncle?
Forget them You go eat
Don't talk beyond your age Go and eat
Uncle
Don't listen to anyone
Listen to me
Don't marry either of your nieces
'It was a delicious feast'
It's a new feeling of pleasure to eat when your son is the breadwinner
Son, I gave you the responsibility of taking care of the fields
You do a good job
Same way I've decided to entrust family responsibilities also
- Keep quiet, pa - I've been the head for 50 years
You'll take care of our family much better than me
I want to bring all our family members together
Take a group photo
Hang it with pride on our wall
That's my dearest wish
Only then even when I die...
...people will say Ranasingam lived life to the fullest and passed away
- Grandpa! - How morbid can you get?
I'll hand over a tougher task
From both your mothers' eyes
From your 5 sisters' eyes not a single tear should drop
So long as I don't shed tears like a waterfall!
Stop...please stop
Wretched fellow! May you rot in hell
May you have 'loosies' and lose all your peace
- What, grandma? - Waiting for 3 hours with this load
Only if I sell this I can eat a square meal
'Bus drivers never allow this load'
As youngsters, won't you ask?
Give a hand to grandma
Ram and Lakshman Catch up with that bus
Go...go
That's the way, good
Hey! Stop...stop...stop!
Why is the groom-to-be roaming in the hot sun?
- You might tan - As if I can get any darker!
What is the return gift for the wedding?
Sweet lime and biscuit
Give coffee and they can soak the biscuit and eat on the way home
Give a sapling, it will bring you good-will and shade later
Who is blocking the bus? Move your cart
- They are chatting, right? - Stop...stop!
- Hey partner - Hey, Achukutti
- How was the 'Jallikattu'? - We rocked
How can you chat blocking the bus?
Won't you move aside when we honk?
You are blocking traffic too Did we honk?
- If you don't move, I'll call the police - We'll call Duraisingam!
You drive like you're a pilot!
You get mad, if your work is disturbed, eh?
Doesn't the same hold good for us?
- Why didn't you take her sacks? - I'll be 8 passengers short
I get yelled at by my boss
What can I do?
Your owner doesn't need to eat?
- Where are you from? - Town
Then it's difficult
Do you know how much time and sweat go into that sack of brinjals?
- How long are you in service? - 15 years
Try being a farmer for 1 day
Not even that
Try being WITH a farmer for 1 day
Then you'll realise the difficulties of a farmer
'Then you wouldn't have left her stranded like this'
Hereafter such buses shouldn't have seats at the back
- Get the spanner - Ready, uncle
'Move aside'
'Grandma, get in'
'- May you lead a royal life - Talk less, work more!'
Stretch your legs and lie down comfortably
- Are you okay, baby? - Okay baby
"O' my fair lady, princess You robbed my heart I guess"
"O' my fair lady, my lovely"
Want the driver's seat removed?
- He has been sitting for a long time - Not that
He might ask grandma to alight in the middle
So let's get down along with her
Is it until 'patti' alights or until this 'party' gets down?!
My guess was right
Nothing wrong, 100% right
'Our Audi car is parked there You turned on the air conditioner'
"Is your pupil a whip, my princess? It makes me salute you spontaneous?"
"O' my fair lady, princess You robbed my heart I guess"
Bro...?
You gave me only Rs 1.50
- What about balance 50 paise? - No coins at all
Won't I return if I had?
"You became a thief blithely"
Where are you going?
Don't you know that?
'Where is she going?'
Don't forget the 50 paise
Haven't got as yet! Won't I give if I had?
"Like being dragged in a deluge helpless you yanked me with your eyes merciless"
Looks like she's worse than Uncle Scrooge!
Whoever marries her will die in exasperation
Shouldn't malign girls
'She looks so familiar to me'
All beautiful girls will seem very familiar to boys!
Sir, he's the head of the department in our Agricultural college
I've read many articles on your son, sir
If he gives a speech in our college students will be motivated
Oh my God! I can't talk, sir
Why should you talk?
Share what you do everyday
When is this function?
March 27th
On March 27th don't we have some important work, sir?
We are planting elephant yam on 27th, 28th and 29th
31st and 1st planting raw banana
He's free on 30th
Yes, she's right
Let's have it on March 30th
No issues We'll do it in style
Thank you, sir
The girl we saw in the bus
"Your glance is like the sun in May It scorches me to cinders all the way"
"When will you be as cool as December? To rest on my chest your head will favor"
"My betrothed beloved in your beauty I dissolved"
"Waiting for you to say 'yes' I follow you daily, my dear lass"
Isn't the music wonderful?
Is it only the music, uncle?
'Thank you, folk music troupe'
Great G-ma, come here
'Next is a video on our special guest Gunasingam'
'Farming isn't a business It's a way of life'
Farming is not just my wish
It's my avaricious wish
'Farming is more paying than IT'
'Change barren lands to green'
Let sowing seeds be a daily need
'Use organic growth promoters Panchakavya and Navakavya'
Let farming be a daily bonus indeed
'Farmers should use natural fertilizers and herbal pesticides'
Stride like a plough with pride
Encourage farmers worldwide
My goal is...
...to bring back those who went from the villages to the city
'This farmer's wish should come true'
We invite farmer Gunasingam on the dais with affection to share his thoughts
'Don't forget to say a few words about me'
Thank you
'Vanakkam'
Did you all eat well?
'Shall I talk from there?'
This mud-soiled hand is holding a mic for the 1st time
So I don't know how to start
The folk music and dance was splendid
'Grain and a grain of truth are the same' So our elders say
If you sow a good grain in a fertile piece of land
...it will grow a 100 times it seems
Similarly if I share a good word with students like you...
...I felt it will multiply a 100 times
That's why when I was invited I agreed readily
Usually we ask our children if they want to be an engineer, doctor or collector
Farming is not even given as an option
But when I was young, it seems my father asked me what I wanted to become
He included being a farmer too
I believe right then I chose farming
At this juncture I would like to thank my father who gave me that option
He aced it, eh?!
I'll strangle you!
By repeatedly mentioning Farming is India's backbone
...they've hidden it behind our back!
Not realizing this, we carry on
If a handful realize and quit their IT jobs and become farmers
...we label them ignorantly as 'not knowing how to survive'
Some are so backward enough to think their daughters should not marry a farmer
Okay now?
In foreign countries even the educated are proud to be farmers
Only in India, the literate should not soil their hands in our soil
Only the illiterate should be farmers has become their fate
I haven't come here to praise farming and farmers
Reason why I'm talking here is...
...in the name of getting methane, ethane
...a gang has set out to destroy farming and farmers
Uncle, you're asking for an IT raid!
When you realise the rich man's diet and poor man's hunger are 2 different issues
...only that day
...you'll know what a national crime it is to make the farmer eat Govt's 'ration' rice
You'll be branded a traitor and shoved behind bars
- We are here to support him - Keep quiet
Like our Nammalvar sir said
In the Green revolution we started there's no green or revolution
Only if people, Govt and scientists unite as one
...our country will prosper
Only when students think of farming and politics as professions
...India will be a Super power
For every agricultural product there should be a Govt market
Only then suicide rate of farmers will reduce
A farmer's death today...
...will be the death of millions tomorrow
Why should we farmers die?
When shameless people live why should we die?
One who creates alone isn't God
One who sows seeds is also God
As farmers we should stride lifting our collars with pride
Well said!
Dear students
You take up engineering, medicine or law
Why, even politics is fine
In addition take up agriculture also
According to me...
...instead of counting the medals in the next Olympics
...how many will be farmers from the next generation is important
That is the need of the hour for every house and our nation as a whole
I'm not saying this to hear your applause
We should not be stuck with a begging bowl, alas!
Best wishes to all the future farmers
Thank you for giving me this opportunity
Sir, that was a heartwarming speech
He's your student, sir
'You spoke so soulfully I feel like giving you 1000 gold coins'
Sir, you were brilliant!
I don't want any gold coin
I'll be happy if you find out which bus that '50 paise' boards
That's no big deal
Grandpa, hot soup for you
Uncle, chicken gravy, fish gravy crab, steamed prawn
What shall I cook?
Make a potpourri!
Do whatever but I can taste the soup only if you let go of my hand
If both my hands are massaged by you-
Thanks dear
- Massage my knee - I need to take 2 days off
Of course, sir
Why are you out of sorts?
My grandson is missing for the past 10 days
I thought he will find his way back
He went for the race that day
He's in love with some girl I heard
Kodiyarasu's men have warned him
...not to fall in love with a girl outside his own caste
After that he never got back home
Don't think the worst, sir
He'll come back Just enquire
- Why don't you also enquire? - Okay, father
You gave only Rs 7.50 The ticket is Rs 8
You owe me 50 paise earlier
Now we are quits
Don't tell anyone hereafter you don't have small change to give
Move aside
'Go, egg-head!'
'Will he play this same trick again?'
Govt should've eliminated 50 paisa coins with 500 and 1000 notes
Economy plays a pivotal role
Sooper! You aced it
You are soooper too You spoke so well
Both of you have the gift of the gab!
When everyone ridiculed me only you applauded!
Thank you very much
I feel I've seen you somewhere
- College - No
Before that
- In the bus - No, even before that
Before and after?!
'If hassled or in happiness Jolly soda goes down with a fizz'
When I saw this poster I thought what a hep girl
- Assumed she must be in Chennai - Why?
Only girls in Chennai are hep, huh?
Modelling is mostly in Chennai, right?
Hello! I am not a model
Are you an actress?
I am an owner
- Own what? - Jolly soda company
You are the owner
- How can you act? - Why not?
Don't owners of Vasanth & Co, Saravana Stores...
...Lalitha Jewellers act in their own commercials?
- That's the current fashion - You bet!
Only TV viewers know what an eye sore it is
- Shut up - Have you tasted our soda?
- Isn't it simply too good? - Sooper
Doesn't go well with mixing liquor
Boys crib because they feel like puking
If you add a little essence
...it will enhance the flav-
'Customer complaint She should take it in good spirit!'
'We should have our fan club in every street'
We have so many cars lying idle at home, dear
Why strain yourself in a bus or 'share' auto?
I love travelling in a bus, uncle
This is Iniyal's father's hard earned money
The day Thillainayagam's daughter earns...
...that will be the day
That's my 'attitude', uncle
She refuses to even ride pillion with me on my bike, bro
It is very tough to impress girls
On top of it she is our sister's daughter
She won't fall for anyone You'll marry her
'Ma, if you had reminded me I would've brought the red banana clusters'
I wanted to tell you Somehow it skipped my mind
Just like you!
Hey! What is this new habit?
Uncle, even though I'm your niece you must formally 'see' me as your bride
You know that ritual of wearing a fancy silk sari and serving coffee
I want you to 'see' me like that
- I love all that formality - You silly idiot!
You've seen your mother Let's go home
1 glass cold buttermilk
Look at this
Who is he?
She is from our community Gunasingam's niece
He is from a different caste
Is this how you behave in public?
Which village are you from?
Who are you to ask?
How dare you!
Try enquiring around Then you will know
- Give me your father's phone # - Why?
My phone
Tell me
I am Kodiyarasu speaking
Our clan
Your daughter is flirting with some chap in the bus stop
He is my friend
Put her in place
Our girls won't step out of line
My wife's brother will keep an eye on my daughter
'Hang up now'
If I catch you both hanging out together-
If you do?
- Chellamma - Hello, uncle
What are you doing?
They are hitting me in front of my college
Give back my phone
Do 300 sit-ups like our brother ordered
Come on I'm waiting
'You want to fall for a girl from our caste!'
Don't stop
Even if it takes you 3 days we won't let you go
'Will your father do the rest?'
'Why are you out of breath? Go on...do it'
He's my friend, uncle We were just chatting
They made nasty remarks They even grabbed my phone
He's the one, uncle
Bash him up, uncle
'He's trying to escape'
'Come into the frame'
'Let me go It hurts!'
'If you mess with his fiancee'
'...think you can go scot-free?'
'Let me go'
Call your 'Culture King' and ask him to come here
- I like that, uncle - Listen
If a girl and boy enjoy a joke does it mean they are in love?
Why are you so concerned with my niece?
You want to collect votes based on caste?
We send our girls to college trusting the boys in their class
They keep a good watch
If you try acting funny with me-
Using caste as an excuse to run a political party or trade favors
Hypocrites claiming to decry caste but fan the flames
You should all be burnt alive
Get lost! Scram
Super, uncle
A literate is a breed apart!
I am an illiterate
An illiterate is in a class of his own!
Clear out!
- Go home, dear - Okay
We are gaining the confidence of our caste only now
As defender of our clan
If anyone hinders the progress...
...we need 4 jeeps with strong tyres, 10 kg sugar and 5 liters of fuel
Get lost!
My dear uncle
I got all the details about your 'soda bottle'
Her name is Kannukiniyal
'Sight for sore eyes' What a beautiful Tamil name!
Does my name 'Sivagamiyin Selvan' sound Chinese to you?
Only daughter
Her family is loaded
She can easily travel by car
That affluent but she prefers taking the bus
Because she loves simplicity
That's exactly why I love her
What are you amused about?
One look at her face, I guessed her refined upbringing and affluence
Give me a high five for that
You are 'Goggle' uncle
- Google-google - Oh! Like that, huh?
So she's an only child
All I have to do is visit my father-in-law's place to rest up
You look like a man who feasted on a succulent lamb
Father
Have you ever fallen in love?
What kind of question is that?!
Why get me into trouble?
Don't get down, it will be a dent on your dignity if you stand here
As if you brought me in a chariot previously!
- How much is 1 cubit of jasmine? - Rs 30
Aiyo! Daylight robbery!
Take a look at that girl
Give me 2 cubits for Rs 15
- Isn't she good, pa? - So tight fisted?
- I'm doing it properly - Be generous while measuring
Look how cleverly she is bargaining
Have you fallen in love, son?
Is this the important matter you wanted to discuss with me?
I wanted to fall in love after you give the green signal
Is that a complimenting look or an insulting glance?
Do you wish to fall in love or get married to her?
Nowadays no one marries the girl he falls for
Nor does he love the girl he marries!
I'll fall in love and then marry her
What about your sisters' daughters?
I can even say 'no' to this girl
But I cannot marry any of my nieces, pa
If I marry Andal, Chellamma will be miffed and vice versa
I can't even think of such a predicament
'Don't think you made a steal of a bargain'
'My 1st sale, so I relented'
Alright, son Your happiness is mine too
When our family gets to know of this
Not just your sisters
Both my wives will dance on my head too
You must not get me into a mess claiming I gave you prior permission
I know what that covert glance means
Don't snitch on me Let's go home now
Get this into your head
You should handle the ladies, right from your great-grandma to your youngest niece
Son, ensure our family doesn't fall apart
Okay, pa
How are you, Kennedysami?
Kodiyarasu, can you come up to the station?
It's an auspicious day I must preside over 5 weddings
- What is the issue? - You killed Uday Shankar 15 days ago
'A complaint has been filed'
Who?
Gunasingam, sir
If you come, this can be solved in just 10 minutes
- Who did the rounds last night? - Ezhumalai
Why did you lose the walkie-talkie?
Inspector, Gunasingam is lying through his teeth
We don't see eye to eye
If so, why did you come here flustered?
Why should I be scared? I'm innocent, so I came
Kennedysami
Take him aside and do the needful!
- Hello? - The bride is here, bro
- Will bro come in time? - He'll be there in 10 minutes
Kodiyarasu, Gunasingam has kidnapped your man
'In the race last month'
'...our math teacher's son was talking to his girlfriend'
'She is from our community'
Hey! Who are you?
Don't you try manhandling me!
Keep your caste mania to yourself
I will marry only her What can you do?
'That boy died because of the sharp blow on his head'
Why did you do this, bro? MAZE HDRelease
One has to sacrifice to engage in politics and become a leader
Like this chap
'To conceal this heinous act they cremated his body'
'Mixed his ashes in the river'
They didn't even let me see my grandson's ashes
Don't look at Kodiyarasu's clout, sir
Our math teacher is the most affected
You signed my warrant when I was on my way to preside over a wedding
Aiyaiyo! You can leave soon
Really?
How much can you spare?
1 million
2 million
2.5 million
I'll try to persuade my boss
Go and tell him
No way
The story will get knotted You do the honors
Inspector, I lost my cool and knocked him, he died on the spot
You haven't filed a report?
So are you confessing to the murder?
Kennedysami
Take our future minister to the cell
We must produce him in court tomorrow morning
Get up, I say
Kennedysami all along was your paid employee
For the 1st time in his life he has earned his Govt salary, go
'For being your math master, you were the mastermind for my grandson's murder'
'Police exploitation Down down!!'
'Police misconduct Down down!'
They arrested our brother in the blink of an eye
I made a mistake trusting him because he's my wife's brother
My insides are somersaulting
If my company faces any problems because of him-
Don't over react, uncle
Get lost!
Uncle, here comes your girlfriend
"Praise be to Lord Rama"
Where are you off to?
- Temple - But we haven't bathed
Oh gawd! Spare me, uncle
My dear nephew Where are you?
Where did you disappear?
I went to dunk myself in a cup of hot tea!
One track uncle of mine!
To hook your cool girl you shoved me into this icy pond
Sit and bathe leisurely
Is it okay if they bathe you as a corpse tomorrow?
Lord Shiva, bless me
With all that sacred ash is this a Fancy dress competition!
[clears throat]
'Praise be to Lord Vishnu who is covered with a pearl like hue'
This is Lord Shiva's son, Muruga
- Sorry, Muruga - Uncle, listen
How could you confuse the sweet offered to Vishnu and Shiva?
'He left before I could pray'
Do you come only on the 13th lunar day or daily?
I come daily
Do I have to take this cold dip daily?
My Lord, defendant Kodiyarasu has been a Good Samaritan in our society
You mean social service or is the service limited to his caste?
He is a well known entrepreneur
We can surrender his passport to this court
Please show mercy and grant him bail, Your Honor
I am the sole authority to decide if he deserves bail or to be in jail
He has killed a student
This can lead to a riot
He has to go to the police station in Mattuthavani, 200 km from Madurai
And sign twice a day
- Are you prepared to do this? - Yes, Your Honor
After you sign in the morning
...where will your client stay to come back and sign at night?
He'll book into a room in a hotel
He'll sign in the morning and treat himself to a gourmet meal
Along with a peg or two lolling in bed, he'll watch TV
He'll get up in the evening Take a shower, freshen up
Sign and go watch a night show in the theater nearby
Don't think he can take me for a ride
This isn't an ordinary murder
Honor killing
- Know the lake in Thiruparankundram? - Yes, Your Honor
- Know a kind of Mesquite tree? - Yes, sir
Do you know its special feature?
It absorbs the ground water
It is found widespread all over that lake
Your task is to sign here at the police station daily
Make a beeline to that lake
Uproot 10 trees per day
And throw those trees on the other side of the lake
- Will you do this? - Yes, Your Honor
Couldn't you hold your pee?
- Didn't even close the door - Don't close
I won't have privacy in prison
Let it be the same here
'Don't flush the toilet'
'That pee stench should make my stomach somersault'
'I'll feel like ripping my brain out of my head'
'He prevented me from going back to my hometown'
'He stopped me from presiding over any auspicious event'
Bro, sit on the chair over there
'I won't have such facilities in jail, you scumbag'
'I'll sit on the hard floor and I'll sleep only here'
'Get me a tin plate for me to eat'
That's what I'll get in jail
You've been granted bail You won't go back again
You are mistaken I will go back to jail
I'll kill Gunasingam and go to jail
'Until then this is my daily routine'
"Praise be to Lord Rama, avatar of Vishnu"
"God makes His own plan Marriages are made in Heaven"
[song from 'Aval Oru Thodarkadhai']
'A thick jungle'
Shut up, uncle
'Lord Muruga, save us'
- What? - Nothing
Are you in love with me or simply following me?
I'm in love with you
- You're following me - I swear, trust me
If you have the guts look into my eyes
Clasp my hand with your right hand Place it on your heart and profess'
'Kannukiniyal, I love you'
Nothing wrong, 101% right
"Praise be to Lord Rama, avatar of Vishnu My dear uncle, profess your love true"
Not just when we are young
But till we are old and grey I wish to love you like I do now
Will you marry me?
Be happy forever We can fight and flirt
We can feel bad why we waited for so long?
We can wonder sometimes why we got married?
Shall we feel?
"With your eyes like drum beat daily a lullaby within echoes sweet"
"Are you a floral chariot divine rebuilding this life of mine?"
"I chatter with you endlessly even if I meet you continuously"
- This is our home - Looks beautiful
Someone might see us
"Your words like sweet shower took a long time to flower"
That's our field
- All that? - Till the very end
"My heart goes lub-dub erratic Enter and explore with your magic"
"With your eyes like drum beat daily a lullaby within echoes sweet"
"Are you a floral chariot divine rejuvenating this life of mine?"
"With 'kumkum' on her forehead pretty her eyes like round pearls bewitch me"
"My determined heart flutters in haste waiting for her 'yes' in a jittery state"
"The sun rises in the east you know That's what I thought too till now"
"A princess who ridicules me playfully I woke up to see your face blissfully"
"Come what may, lassie Give yourself to me"
"Wings sprout within me My heart soars delightfully"
"With your eyes like drum beat daily a lullaby within resounds complete"
"Are you a floral chariot divine redecorating this life of mine sublime?"
"As soon as a red brick sees you it glitters like a bar of gold anew"
"Like slices of bread you chewed me In your endearing dimples, dearie"
"You lured a chap who doesn't budge even if a tiger pounces from a hedge"
"Why did you lug my peacock feathers soft with your smile like a wire basket aloft?"
"Take your own sweet time, sweetie Take me in your heart for eternity"
"This cart halts in its travel Paralyzed by you, my damsel"
"Momentum Beat of a drum"
He made me drench in sweat felling those damn trees
And he happily fell in love with my sister's daughter, huh?
List out unforgettable incidents of gory, grim deaths in Tamil Nadu
So many tales, bro A notorious rowdy in Nagerkoil
2 teams were at loggerheads in a temple festival in Vyasarpadi
There was a family feud in Mattuthavani
Something even more bloodcurdling than this
Entire village should be shell shocked
By Gunasingam's death
Tell me
Why do you always smile as if you're posing for a photo?
Don't you like my smile?
Will you laugh even for this?
Of course
That's why I love you sooo much
- Alright - Those impish eyes
'Aim for his neck!'
Uncle!
Watch out!
School boys
- Boys, move - Oh gawd!
Go...go
Go...quick
Go...go
You should be alert hereafter, son
I am fine, pa
Akka, I sprained my right leg
Why are you massaging my left foot?
Keep quiet, if that leg is sprained this leg will go numb
- Mangamma? - Huh?
Your brother is fine
[clears throat]
Those who want fodder-water can follow me
Safari, your car is blocking the way Don't you have to park it to the side?
I forgot, bro
Taste my country chicken soup
No need, akka
My precious bro, I know you like lamb trotters soup
I brought it specially for you
What about elephant foot soup?
My arm is in a bandage and he gets an oil massage
Their drama is more unbearable than this painful dilemma
Ignore him You taste my soup
Babyamma, what are you doing?
I am fanning, my dear
It's freezing cold! Go slow on the fanning
- My dear nephew - Uncle?
Is it that painful?
No, it's so comforting
Drink your soup to your stomach's content!
- What? - Why are you upset now?
Your uncle is fine
He won't give up that easily
He'll come and I'll comply!
Yes, local Godfather's battalion!
Your razor sharp tongue will beat his sickle hollow
- Drink it up, bro - That's all
Queen # 01
Father...?
Carry on
A wife is the one who spoils the husband by pampering
Grandpa, don't you have any intoxicant as weakness?
Intoxicants differ from person to person
I am intoxicated by my family
That's a given Uncle has no intoxicant, right?
- Hey! What was that? - Catch him getting high!
I was just curious
Let's eat dinner outside enjoying the fresh breeze
Praise be to the lords of South and North!
Liquor licked to the last drop
Uncle, waitees! I'm also coming
- I want to sit next to my uncle - You sit on his head
Don't dig into my ribs You can sit comfortably there
Don't forget to pay my college fees tomorrow
That's for studious students
- Not Facebook addicts - Shut up!
I want to be in the photo too
Look here
Family deity! Don't possess her
'Her favorite hobby!'
Goddess, be appeased
Important call I'll be back
Sit down, sweety
- Eat and then go - Tomorrow's cultivation
Officer is calling me
How are you feeling now, dear?
I am fine Just a sprain
I want to see you at once
Will you come now?
Aiyaiyo! Impossible
My sisters and brothers-in-law are here
The entire brood came running to nurse the pampered cub, huh?
Look at their tender loving care As if they are like you!
Why don't you tell the 'tender loving care' brood
...you love this girl Iniya?
Aiyaiyo! I dread to think of all their reactions
- You have no other choice - Why?
My uncle has told my father about us
Oh gawd! Then...?
My father hasn't asked me anything till now
It's better we tell your parents
That's only protocol
You are thinking thrice to accept a farmer as son-in-law
Soon people will start feeling jealous of a farmer groom than an NRI groom
Rather than an educated groom settled abroad earning 1 lakh a month...
...I prefer and respect a local groom who earns only 10,000 per month
The hesitation is not because you're a farmer
Have you informed your father?
I fell in love with your daughter only after my father saw her
Does he know she is Thillainayagam's daughter?
What is this new hitch?
We have no objection
- You are part of a big joint family - Let me serve, ma
Let him consult everyone and meet me if he favors this alliance
You should take the cup
'You should offer me a cup'
'So I can relish the coffee too'
I'll take leave then, sir
See you
My dear boy, will you come back or follow your father's footsteps?
I don't understand
'If a daughter is born I'll come here for sure'
Your father was supposed to marry my sister you know
He never came back
Only if the baby is a girl
He got a boy instead and sent him here
I'll be back
Definitely, uncle
You've made up your mind to show your muscle power
The nearest village is 10 km away on that side
On this side 7 km away
If you are bashed up in no man's land who will pick your broken limbs?
Don't worry, we are here to butcher you to bits
There are plenty of wild dogs and foxes here
You'll make a good feast for them
That's why we chose this isolated spot
If I bash you up, will those dogs and foxes die devouring you?
Poor creatures!
Wait, I have a plan
Uncle, if we get trapped they will have the time of their life
Why are you so scared? You are strong like Superman
I scurry and scoot like a bandicoot
The smallest sound and I'll run for my life
One who shows his strength isn't Superman nowadays
One who does NOT exhibit his weakness is the strongest
Then I am Superman, huh?
Is the job done?
Be on the line
Get your bail as you hear him scream in pain and agony
Just break his limbs into two
- I'll handle the rest of him - Okay, bro
Is it Team hospital?
There has been a major accident near Kunimoottu forest area
Around 15 men are lying diced to minuuute pieces
Make it fast, sir
One of them in a yellow shirt is bleeding from his ear, sir
The chap in a black shirt
His hand is broken
Left hand is fractured
And he's writhing in pain
One ambulance won't be enough
The whole gang is like a herd of wild buffaloes
If you bring 3 ambulances...
...all the broken limbs can be picked up with ease
Coming? Leave right away
Why invite trouble?
If you want to call it quits quickly you should trouble trouble to the T
I'll show my muscle power
You follow suit
Bash him up and finish him off
Uncle, yellow shirt
His ears should split Both left and right
- Which hand did you say? - Left...left
- What happened? - Are you still there?
'Where is the culprit?'
Have you been granted bail or not?
Pray I don't come out on bail
I'll pray bail is granted to you
If I come out-
If you consider yourself a man meet me face to face
Hey! Great escape, huh?
If you intend stopping my wedding
Whoever does, this will be your fate
What if he is related to us?
Let him be So what?
'With 2 nieces as bride-to-be will you choose an outsider?'
Look, you've stirred up a hornet's nest now
What do you want me to do?
I can't plead with your sisters
But even if 1 family member doesn't agree, I won't consent
If they don't, you must marry the niece of our choice then
Do you agree?
My responsibility to bring everyone together
You keep saying
'We should have a family group photo'
I'll make your wish come true, pa
Uncle, thunder and lightning strike inside and outside
Like a group photo in a school play
You casually said you'll make his dream come true
1st marry your girl through registration
And start making babies
Then if you persuade them 'all is well that ends well'
You'll need minimum 3 years
Take a bowl and bed sheet and go door to door convincing them
- Why are you scaring me? - I'm not scaring you, uncle
I am being practical
It isn't a case of your mother or mine
The hitch is your sister Mangamma
I mean the 'coercive conspirator'
If she makes up her mind to be manipulative...
...even her husband will fall at her feet
Hey! Drunk-skunk Thamarai
2nd sister Velunachiyar
I mean fighter cock
Action king
What do you take me for?
3rd hell cat
Samyuktha
Cry baby
Her weapon is tears
She will juggle the whole world with it
Do you have an iota of shame, shyness, dignity, pride or prestige?
To think I married you
My father named me Samyuktha Rani for me to live like a queen
4th is the virago, Jhansi Rani
No, spying squad!
She is the admin for everyone
If everyone says something is good she will negate it at once
When everyone hates something she will praise it sky high
- Will you listen to me or not? - Of course we will
You mustn't change your mind Follow me then
5th sister is an exception
Padmavathy Flower of love
She is alive only for her daughter
If something happens to her daughter
...we don't know what drastic end she will choose
If they are so complicated imagine their husbands
Icing on the cake is Kannukiniyal's uncle
Since there is no objection from the public prosecutor
...this court grants you bail relaxing the conditional clause
If we are scared of all this we'll become ordinary people
We can tackle it
Why is 'spy-squad' calling me?
I believe you're marrying some girl called Kannukiniyal
Our parents have consented it seems What are you up to?
Nothing of that sort Trust me, akka
Let me see who steps in without my approval!
She is faster than 4G and 5G!
In a nutshell
I have to juggle and manage Ramayana + Mahabharatha!
It's beginning
'Order wise, 1st go to my place'
'So you'll get positive vibes'
Long live Kodiyarasu!
Hey! Stop it!
Welcoming-
Is he returning from 'Satyagraha' protest? Go inside
Aren't you all ashamed?
Clear out now
Sir, how can you be so rude when he's defending our clan?
How dare you question him?
He's my brother-in-law He has every right to reprimand me
Get out of here
I want him also to get out
Ask him to clear out
I don't want to see him ever again
- What the hell? - We'll call the police
Don't manhandle us
How are you, Sivagami?
- Looks like a new number? - Fine as always
Hello
Who is this?
What do you mean 'who'? This is your sister
Tell me, akka
My husband is being beaten up No one is here to defend him
Someone's bashing him?
I'll be there
Which sister?
I don't know!
When I asked 'who' she bit my head off
If I ask 'which akka', that's it
If it was your mother she would have called you
Will it be the 2nd one or 3rd one?
Shall I touch 1 finger?
- Must be the 2nd one - Bang on!
Only my uncle is likely to be bashed up by the villagers
Look at the people of my village
Violence should be their middle name!
I never get involved Let them go to an early grave
- How dare you! - Who is hitting my uncle?
Who is he?
I'm there for you, akka
Why are you picking that log?
No one is hitting anyone
You just told me they are bashing your husband
Why would I call you? What am I here for?
Then what is that?
[overlap of angry voices]
Some misunderstanding between relatives
- Your brother-in-law is the mediator - Then which akka called me?
- Hello - Listen
Will you come to my rescue only after my husband dies?
Uncle, that's Mangamma, my amma!
I'm coming, akka
So my father was being pounded
- Eat and then go - My father is dying there
And you want us to eat! I'll kill you, fatso
Why are you making me go in circles?
- Hurry up and sit - Don't hurt me in the wrong place
He is being bashed up You are not reacting
Come, I say
- How long to bear this - Very sorry, bro
Try to show your power now! Thought he had no one for help?
The lion cub of our family is here
That's the way, hit him
Don't let him off the hook Knock him senseless
Tie it really tight
How dare you hit my father!
If any of you try to touch my brother-in-law...
...I'll pickle you to pieces
- What happened? - Kodiyarasu is out on bail
He wants to replace my banner with his face!
Why did you call from a strange number?
My phone needs to be topped up
I borrowed a phone from one of these goons
Come in, bro
I wanted to share some good news
And this came in between
Getting married, huh?
Did your spy squad tell you?
I thought as much
No one informed me
If you say 'good news' it has to be your wedding
Chellamma or Andal? Which niece of yours?
Kannukiniyal
Who is this, apple of your eyes?
Pleasure to your eyes Pain to your ears
Who is she?
We are in love
They are also big shots
Affluent family
I am happy for you
I shouldn't say this
I was worried you may marry one of your nieces
Don't quote me please
They will bark at me and bite my head off
I won't squeal
I'll be the 1st one to support you
Thank you so much, bro-in-law
This is why I said we should 1st visit my house!
Look how positive vibes is spreading all over
I haven't finished speaking
- Please continue - I have only 3 conditions
Trouble is brewing now!
Condition #01, names
1st name in the invitation should be mine Mr Thamarai Manalan Sendaiyar, B.A
In bold capital letters and double colors
No sharing of names
Okay, agreed
2nd condition I'll skip it for now
You'll get tense
Condition # 03
Silk dhoti and silk shirt Select a 5 sovereign gold chain
- Sell what to get you this? - Shut your gob
Imagine how it will be if I, TMS grace Gunasingam's wedding
It will be a harmonious sight!
Now let me come to condition #02
That sibling of mine, MMS Malligai Manalan Sendaiyar
Should not attend If he does-
He will not grace the occasion!
But my father wants you to patch up with your brother and wish us in unison
Are you out of your mind?
That won't happen
You can rest assured it won't
'Onions and shallots'
Hey junk of a jerk! Just shut up
I took care of my brother as a baby
He fought over our property and dragged me to court greedily
Where? To court
Underline
God didn't bless him with a child because of his bad nature
- Uncle! - What is this?
How long will this feud continue?
A brother is your pillar of support even if you have 1000 friends
As long as I am alive we won't reunite
We won't need our kith and kin as long as we are able and fit
Only when we are lying incapacitated we will yearn for our own blood
Money will come and go
In the end all that was required was a cartload of sand for burial
He grew up with your love and care
He'll come running if you call him I'll go and bring him here
I won't invite him for my son's wedding
I won't even call you!
I won't even get you married!
You're sitting here as if you have swallowed a crowbar
You continue to be like this
Uncle, she is possessed now!
Save me from this possessed creature!
Why are you deserting me?
Bro, by now you should be sitting in the Parliament as a politician
Gunasingam has made you sit in a go-down
We should not spare him, bro
Long live, bro Kodiyarasu Defender of our clan
- How are you, Shanmugam? - I am good, bro
I cancelled my wedding Only when you preside I'll get married
From mid May to mid June if you fix 1 auspicious day
...I'll print the invitation
Please go and eat
I understand your affection
But I'm not available for the next 6 months
I was told you've been granted free bail
The bail was for what I already did
I said I will be in jail again for what I am about to do
Don't feel bad Fix a date in mid-May
I'll get married after you come out, bro
I want only you to preside over my wedding
I'll rip Gunasingam to piece-
Who are his sisters?
Welcome both of you I knew you were coming
That's why I made chicken gravy for you
Your love is a magnetic force
The aroma makes me drool!
Don't we have taste buds?
- Don't get me wrong - Tell me, uncle
I don't feel the same way about your mother
Velunachiyar is a breed apart!
Nothing wrong, 102% right
- Hey husband! Come and eat - We are ready for the feast
Akka, shall I share a piece of good news?
Let me taste a few pieces right now
Tell me
You are giving us chicken to eat
- I'll give you a wedding feast - Tell her first
My precious cub!
You get married Give me your baby
I'll bring him up
Will you baby-sit by the dozen?
Sure, I'll wipe their pee and crap happily
I'm eating and you talk crap!
Who is the bride?
Kannukiniyal
Then what about Chellamma?
All of us thought you'll marry only Chellamma
Fell in love, huh?
Nothing wrong, 103% right Bless him happily
Welcome, my dear brother-in-law
- How are you? - Carrying on
I heard you're getting married
I presume you went to my elder brother's house
I knew you would go there first
He must have told you I shouldn't attend the wedding
Taste the chicken
And said he took care of me as a baby patting his shoulder proudly
He and his pearls of wisdom! He would've said I am childless
He must have asked for 5 sovereign gold chain
We are not so greedy
3 sovereign gold chain will do
And he should not attend the wedding, that's all
If you ask me both the brothers shouldn't attend
- What 'huh'? - Hiccup?
2 brothers fighting for property doesn't seem right
Even then both of you should reconcile
Fat hopes!
Why do you hate him so much?
Not hatred It's anger
- So won't we be angry? - Eat, dear
Show off your culinary skills to your husband
I came to invite you and you make a big fuss
Ask him to attend the wedding, then I'll eat
If my uncle doesn't want to eat, neither do I
Chicken is not even cooked I am boiling mad!
If they behave like this...
...imagine the sisters with daughters!
The neighbor uncle
How are you, akka?
We are surviving What do we lack?
I'm sure you're fine
Where is your husband?
He must have wandered to earn a living somewhere
If you keep crying like this my slipper will speak!
I need to tell you something
I heard about it
Be happy Bless you!
She's also a good girl
You'll like her if you meet her
All of you should come and bless us
How can I come?
In case you plan to gobble some insecticide
...do so with the doors open You may end up stinking!
Why are you instigating her?
You are the troublemaker
Don't add insult to injury I feel like puking
That man died on a Saturday
Saturday corpse on the bier will take a companion for sure!
Wait, dear
Please open the door
More than admiring her own father ever since she was born...
...she has followed you like a faithful shadow all the time
Good lord!
You have studied so much You always tell me right from wrong
I want to talk to you
Open the door
It isn't as if I rejected you
If you hear me out you'll understand
Open the door
You don't have to see my face
I paid your fees At least take this receipt
You don't have to pay my fees
I don't want to study anymore
I'll tear my certificate to pieces Go away from here
'Go away'
Go away from here
Now cry baby's turn!
I anticipated it
So many die in this village
Why can't I die instead?
Why was I married into this house?
- Call her husband - All my blessed fate
Don't bug me!
You call him
What's this new #?
Who is it?
I am your in-law speaking
In Tamil Nadu on an auspicious day in-laws will flourish everywhere
- Who are you? - I'm Gunasingam
Gunasingam, s/o Ranasingam the man with 2 wives, huh?
Where are you now?
What is it? Tell me
Regarding my wedding
You carry out your intentions
I am very busy on that day I have an important task to do
We haven't even fixed the date How will you be busy then?
Whenever is your wedding day I'm very busy on that day
Where are you now?
Having got married into your family...
...I'm going to Papanasam to wash away my sins
I'll be there in 5 minutes Please wait
Fine, come
'Praise be to Lord Aiyappa!'
We are at the bus stand Where are you?
You'll take your own sweet time
You want me to wait in the middle of the road?
Has the bus left?
The bus didn't leave Neither did I
Why didn't you go?
My family is in shambles What will I do in Papanasam?
Where are you now?
Electricity Board has been dilly dallying my connection
I'm here to ask if I must commit suicide or will I get power?
Govt officers look down on farmers
- Wait, I'll speak for you - To the EB office?
Please come
Whichever the ruling party digging holes is their favorite hobby
I won't pick your call
He isn't picking my call
His bike isn't here
Uncle is calling, huh?
Your to-be aunt!
Hello
- What? - My father's sister has come
Creating problems here
This is worse than opening Pandora's box!
He won't pick my call now bug me
Is it that easy to marry me?
Shall I also come with you?
That's exactly why I'm going through all these hassles now
Manickam uncle on the line
Don't pick up his call
Are you having a tough time?
Yes, dear
I Love You
Pick up the phone
Uncle ji!
Pick it up, man!
Hello
Yes, bro-in-law
You want me to grace your wedding and you'll perform a funeral at my house!
What do you mean?
Your sister consumed poison and is rushed to the hospital
If anything happens to her none of you will be alive
- What, uncle? - 3rd sister drank poison
Aiyo!
Don't give any treatment
I need to know one way or the other or die
Doesn't look like she consumed poison
Why did you try to kill yourself? Please treat her
Why will I consume poison?
The girl you promised to marry tried committing suicide
She's on her death-bed
Are you mad?
Why did you do this?
Students easily opt for suicide Is this what you were taught?
I'll clobber you
- Administer first aid, sir - That lady isn't letting us treat her
We've administered first aid
Promise me you will marry her
Otherwise let her die
I can't take her back and look after her
Are you a lunatic?
I'll kill you though you're my akka Is this the time for melodrama?
Either marry her or take her corpse and throw it away somewhere
What is this, my dear?
Is it our wish to see you like this?
Is my Chellamma a coward?
You don't have any clue why I took this decision, right?
Okay, dear
I'll talk to my girlfriend and marry you
'Which room?'
I thought you committed suicide You've driven our only child to this state
I won't let anyone near her
Call the police Call the Press
Stop your medication
Why call the Press when I'm here?
No need to call anyone
I'm ready to promise
Take her hand and promise her
Then my daughter won't die
Hello
Aiyaiyo!
Grandpa had a heart attack He is in a critical condition
Come, uncle
Aiyaiyo! My father!
Get yourself treated We'll discuss this later
- Doctor, attend to her - Quick!
We'll take care You go, bro
Your father is fine Nothing is wrong with him
- I lied - Playing with my father's life?
Then what?
That man says his wife tried to commit suicide
And here the daughter is dying
Obvious her mother has applied poison on her lips
Oblivious, you're promising her
How will you face your girlfriend?
I agree my sister is quite capable
But Chellamma won't act
Her eyes asked me 'Are you planning to kill me?'
Haven't I blundered?
I don't know why I met Kannukiniyal
- I am to blame for everything - Why do you think this way?
- Who was on the phone? - No one
Who was overhearing our conversation?
Kannukiniya
She wasn't overhearing
I told her about your struggles to get everyone's consent
She asked me to record everything to know what you're going through for her
- From when is she hearing? - When we went to that cry baby's house
Playing havoc with my life?
That isn't true
Get lost! Don't ever see me again
Uncle, don't get me wrong
Grant me a separation
Aren't you ashamed to say this?
Let me divorce my husband
You're 60 years old Why do you need a divorce now?
- Won't you be the laughing stock? - So what?
When he was 50 and wanted a son as his heir...
...wasn't he the laughing stock?
How can you deride him? He's like God to us
You'll rot in hell
Enough, ma, I have faced enough insults in this house
At least now I want to have peace of mind
Without magnifying this issue grant me a divorce
How can you talk like this?
Are you also creating problems?
You are the ones hurting my daughter and me
Your father was looking for a bride outside our family
Your mother didn't even ask me if I wanted to or not
She told me to marry your father
I buried all my dreams and goals
I married my brother-in-law only to make him happy
But God gave me just 1 girl child instead of blessing me with a son
Such an innocent girl Silent as a saint
I pleaded saying the groom chosen for her doesn't seem desirable
He claimed the groom was from a decent family
Within 2 years of marriage that drunkard made my daughter a widow
Just because she stubbornly refused to remarry, you abandoned her completely
When even at 65-70 a companion is needed...
...did you think of the feelings of a 25 year old?
You praised my granddaughter Andal
You nurtured hopes in her of being the daughter-in-law
To save the cost of paying for a servant...
...haven't you been treating Andal as a glorified maid?
Enough of this torture
I'll take care of my daughter and granddaughter
Ma...wait Where are you going?
- Let me go - Let's talk it over
Let her go
Listen to me
- Wait, ma - Don't stop her
'You madcap! Are you still thinking of him?'
Hello
I need to talk to you
- Shall I come tomorrow? - I'll prefer if you can come today
I'll be there
- Please come - 'Vanakkam'
However angry you may be how can you be so rude?
Good morning
- Serve them coffee - Okay, dear
This is my younger sister
Greetings
She's the one your father promised to marry
She's vehement I shouldn't take you as my son-in-law
We conduct our functions usually on the full moon day in April
So this wedding has to take place on that auspicious day
I heard your family members are also not seeing eye to eye on this alliance
My wife's brothers are on a war path
We have just 30 days left
How can you think of suicide?
What if it had turned fatal?
Why are we here as your aunts?
Will we let some stranger marry your uncle?
- As if we will - Listen, child
Only you will marry our brother
No one can change this
Will you all just keep quiet?
What do you all think of yourselves?
You claimed my uncle will marry me right from my childhood
Have you come to console me now?
- I don't want to get married - Why show your anger on the flower pots?
- Get lost! - Are you mad or what?
She is in a mad fury Let her be
Let her vent it out
If anyone tries to pair up a boy and girl in their childhood
...my slippers will speak!
What is happening, huh?
Can Manickam's daughter resort to suicide?
Your brother lied saying his father is unwell
...went and fixed the wedding date!
This is disgusting I don't know why I'm alive!
Won't the 3 of us find a well to jump into and die?
Wells are dry nowadays
Oleander seeds will be our next option
- What is the time, Safari? - 10 o' clock
10+2 hours from now if we commit suicide
Let a crowd gather to grieve here
Is it some circus trick?
You bet, watch my circus act
Co-brother-in-law
He bought 'the stuff' just before his daughter was discharged
It's quite a feat to find the right shop in the city
How does he get such easy access to liquor?
You have your own problem
This is the problem of entire Tamil Nadu, I say
Co-brother-in-law Please come out
Whatever it is let's discuss it
I can see your love for your niece brimming and bubbling!
What did all of you do all this while?
You think I didn't know you said he could marry outside our family
What is it?
- Some snack I ate - I'll call back
This husband of the spy squad!
He will always act busy
We are limited edition
Kindly don't malign me
English!
Listen, anyway I intend to die
Before that can I share the feelings I've bottled up for decades?
- Tell me, bro - Please stop this Safari suit habit
It's unbearable
At least will you attend my funeral attired in a traditional 'veshti'
- Brother-in-law? - What?
Don't talk like a broken record, go inside
Spy-chief, shut up!
He will brew some more trouble now!
Will you stop being negative?
'Adding fuel to the fire!'
What are you doing?
Why did you bring kerosene now?
Switching the motor?
All of you are in a tearing hurry
I'll die right here
Oh my goodness!
Give our 'safari' bro the money to arrange my funeral rites
Don't do this, uncle
- Stop this - I have to die now
Thamarai, it's risky
Grab the matchbox from him
Are you trying to take us along with you?
- Aiyaiyo! - Get water
Where's the water?
Pour it on my father Not on you
Selfish buffalo! Give it to me
Pour water on him
He was about to kill all of us
What a fiery family!
Go to hell
Leave me out of this
Don't, co-bro-in-law
Sivakami?
Who is she?
To step into our house and boss over us
Wait...listen to me
Your own family has 2 factions regarding your brother's bride
That's the biggest hassle here
A family can indulge in politics
But can there be politics in a family?
Let him choose Chellamma or Andal
But that soda-girl can't butt in
'Our brother should marry only one of our daughters'
Please don't do this
Can I have some more porridge?
'Glutton of a fellow!'
You've befriended Gunasingam it seems
The boys told me I didn't believe them
Yes, uncle, it's true Please start believing
I don't like him, dear
But I like him very much, uncle
Delete him from your mind
Doesn't augur well for him nor is it good for you
I know to decide my life
I must trample his temerity
I must wipe out his wealth
Only then he should die a slow death
Sorry, dear, I misunderstood you not aware of your situation
Angry with me?
Nothing, I just feel so lonely
You don't sound yourself
Wow! You know my mood gauging my voice, huh?
One glance from you I can tell if you are happy or sad
I want to see you right now
Is that so?
Now close your eyes
In our bedroom
After a hard day's work you are eagerly waiting for me
I take a refreshing shower
I come and lie down next to you in your favorite pink nighty
I hug you real tight
I kiss you on your forehead
On your eyelids
Then your lips
Love and kiss
My precious princess I want to bring you home very soon
In all your silken finery make you mine as my wife
I feel like starting my life with you right now, dear
"Come to me, my dear shrew I'll tame you and win over you"
"Like a cat on a hot tin roof, darling I'm waiting to follow you, drooling"
"My dear wildcat, come to me I'll win over you desirously"
"Like a cat protecting her kitten I want to follow you, totally smitten"
"If you go away from me, honey my heart beats lub-dub horny"
"Even this landlord's words, honey stutter and stammer in agony"
"Say 'yes' to stick to me, sweetie"
"Come to me, my sensuous shrew I'll tame you and win over you"
"Like a confused cat excited and aroused I'm yearning to follow you as your spouse"
"Like a drum beat my heart too only you tap a rhythm of love true"
"I pick the tempo and sing for you You arch my neck and kiss my throat too"
"The whole town looks up to me as if I am worship-worthy"
"One look at you, I wonder why I stand stranded mid-road on a high"
"I swear on God, it's true I don't want to live without you"
"I am not kidding, my dear Come near to whisper in my ear"
"What happened in my mind, crystal clear?"
"My dear wildcat, come to me I'll win over you rapturously"
"Like a cat protecting her kitten I want to follow you, totally smitten"
"If you go away from me, honey my heart beats lub-dub horny"
"Even this landlord's words stutter in agony"
"Say 'yes' to stick to me, sweetie"
"Come to me, o' beloved shrew I'll tame you and win over you"
"Like a cat on a hot tin roof, darling I'm waiting to follow you, drooling"
Aiyaaah!
They have destroyed all our banana trees, sir
Completely decimated them to the ground
Aiyo! God help us!
"Our banana grove was sent to its grave"
"This roach of a villain has destroyed our terrain"
Both our bulls are lying lifeless foaming in their mouths
"Our village guardian deity slept instead of doing his duty"
"Cowards' bravery displayed"
"On our poor cows; they cruelly slayed"
How could they stoop so low?
"Transmigration of soul Under family deity's control"
"The breath that was snuffed vengefully"
What happened to my Ram and Lakshman?
"Can it not be retrieved hopefully?"
What happened, pa?
- Let me see them just once - No need, son
We buried them in our fields
Look how desolate this place is
'They used to win all the races'
Aiya
5000 banana trees, 2 bulls you reared with loads of love
Imagine everything being wiped out
Whoever it is will be heartbroken
What is it, sir?
Such a huge tragedy in your house
The family hasn't united? Did someone drive a wedge?
Gunasingam?
Mourning, huh?
You made me chop all the mesquite trees, eh?
My boys felt terrible watching me do so
May be they killed your bulls and razed your plantation
I should have killed you right then
Let go of me
I'll close your chapter one day
Let go!
Ask them not to restrain me, pa
Gunasingam, calm down
I'll kill your entire family
Take him inside
I won't spare you
What the hell? Just trees after all
I would have killed him if bro had ordered
- Run for your life - Let's escape
Why sulk when you have come over to our side?
Can you get a groom like Kodiyarasu?
Let this party-meeting get over Watch his realm of influence!
I'll always be your pillar of strength
Whatever help you need you can ask without hesitating
Your brother-in-law has deceived you pretending to be good
He needs a good lesson to be taught
Don't feel bad he isn't your son-in-law
I will marry her
Will you consent?
Share your opinion
What is there to think in this? We didn't initiate this
He made the move Then why hesitate?
Only then Gunasingam will pipe down
As you please
- We'll do as you say - He has agreed!
[anguished wails]
Akka...?
Ma...?
Come back home with me
It is just not the same without you
I was waiting for you to come back of your own accord
Let's go home
It never occurred to you to come home even after all this debacle?
Come, ma
Akka...!
Hey Andal
Have you also joined with them?
You won't talk?
You won't talk to me?
What is amma saying?
Did I treat her like a servant?
Akka?
Look at me now
I'm talking to you
You always support me
How can you be like this?
I'll leave if you say 'Get out, you mongrel!'
Don't be like this, akka
You don't even want to look at my face?
Go now, one day you'll come yearning for my love and affection
Uncle
I won't be here if I thought I was just your nephew
We've been childhood friends
That's why I came
So many weird happenings
Parisutham has changed sides
He's trying many ways to stop your marriage
They are planning to get Chellamma married to Kodiyarasu
You have fixed a groom for Chellamma
That lowlife! MAZE HDRelease
He's the groom So what?
That murderer is my niece's fiance, huh?
Don't make me furious I'll kill all of you
I'll get my daughter married to whomever I like
Have you gone mad?
You found yourself a bride, right?
Won't a groom offer to marry my daughter?
- Go - What is this, akka?
Who are you to decide my daughter's groom?
She's the apple of our eyes, akka
Don't ruin her life because you're mad at me
I am glad you are so concerned about her
But fate decides her life, right?
You go and marry that soda bottle female
Chellamma, wait I'm talking to you
Do you know what's happening here?
He is a drunkard
They want you to marry a killer
Do you think I'll allow this?
- Let's go home - Hands off!
- Come home - Who are you to drag her?
Are you deaf or what?
You chose your life, right?
- Get lost! - I can't go away like that
He's dragging my daughter And you're watching silently
Chase him away As her parents, won't we care?
I can't do that I'm her uncle
I'm restraining myself because you're my brother-in-law
- Come away, uncle - Leave her alone
- Have they shut shop? - You'll get it, rear side
Uncle, you said you would rather resort to murder but you'll never drink
Yes, I said so
Padmavathy akka's husband died because he was an alcoholic
That's why I took that vow
They insulted me too much
People say liquor will numb the pain
But it pains all the more now
Our family was so happy and united
Today our house is shrouded in sadness
What goes around comes back He'll also drown in misery one day
She blames me for everything
This is why we shouldn't heap loads of love on anyone
Either we will be hurt severely
Or we will end up hurting someone
This is exactly why I don't get too fond of anyone
No one will be fond of me either
Then aren't you fond of me?
Uncle, let's go inside
That's a temple I won't step in
Let's bathe and then enter the sanctum
I'll be with Ram and Lakshman here
- I'll sleep here - Uncle, come in
'Get up, uncle'
I never thought I'll see my son in this pathetic state
- 'Get up, uncle' - I am scared
Assemble the whole family here tomorrow morning
We'll decide once for all
Hey Rani, will you take me there or not?
Grandma, won't you listen?
I don't want you to go there
I have to go today
I've been waiting for this day
Iniya, wait in the car
I'll go and talk to them
Okay, pa
Vanavan Madevi
Coming, dear
What would you like to eat?
- Nothing, thank you - 'Vanakkam'
You must be confused why I barged in like this
I didn't have an option
When Iniya was returning from college 4 boys have created a ruckus yesterday
She somehow tackled them
I found out they were my brother-in-law's goons
My daughter is my whole world
I want to entrust her to you safely
I want to know your opinion
To marry 1 of his granddaughters my father has called us over
- Let me see how he gets married - How does it bother you?
You keep quiet I'll handle this
They are arriving now
Please stay in here I'll be back
I've reached I'll keep you posted
Welcome Come in, all of you
Come in, son-in-law Be seated
Can we sit here and talk? Cool and breezy here
Malli 'mappilai' Come and sit down
You be seated
I'll wait here Sit, it seems!
Why have you made everyone sit outside, pa?
Just wanted to enjoy the fresh air
Come and sit
I have taken a decision
I am also ageing
I'm planning to share my wealth between my 5 daughters
That's why I called all of you
Accountant, bring me all the documents
My first born-queen Mangamma Tell me what you want?
Appa, why all this now?
You like the Kazhani house, right?
You take it
Velunachiya, what do you want?
I don't want anything, pa
Your father has some hidden agenda
Ask him what the hitch is
1st ask what he is giving his son
What are you giving your son?
I asked if he wants property or the girl he loves?
He's saying he can earn
You've agreed to him marrying that girl, tell us that
Let him marry
Hey, listen carefully
You will not get a naya paisa from my property
Then it means we are eyeing your wealth, right?
Not like that, dear
It is my duty to settle you in life
Why all of a sudden?
Everything is happening suddenly
What can be done if something untoward happens to me suddenly?
Shhh! Get lost
Alright
If he was penniless, will so many come forward to make him their son-in-law?
It's all because of money
So if I get rid of that wretched wealth, the problem is solved, right?
You think we wanted your son because of your wealth?
Not due to family ties or affection
Did we want this alliance for his good heart or his money?
Why are you talking like this?
Don't I know your affection?
- Heard the sarcasm? - Keep quiet, uncle
Girls, haven't you understood your father even now?
He will fix a price, distribute his wealth and then get his son married
He has made you all sit out here
He has made the girl's father sit inside to spy on us
And that gentleman too is eavesdropping on this discussion
- I thought so - Is this the 'fresh air' you like?
Look how much he respects us, sir
1st day is feast on a banana leaf
Next day a hand-made leaf, then just a handful
4th day on the floor Is this the time for proverbs?
- Let's go - Wait, uncle
Why are you nit picking?
I'm nit picking, huh?
You don't need your old ties The new guest is 'family'
Are father and son insulting me?
I did not ask him to come
He came suddenly of his own accord
To discuss an alliance
You can even call me 'da' if I enter this house again
Did you hear that? All the sisters have assembled
'Problem is just brewing'
My Thekkadi lineage is not so cheap
Don't go, uncle
If you are coming, come right away
Or choose your parents over me
If you leave why should I stay behind?
If you knot up problems how can we solve this?
I knot everything Who are you to talk to me?
What did you say?
Think back
Look how everyone is mediating
Are you showing off your favors?
Yes, you can-
Hey, did you hear that? How well we are respected?
If you can cut your ties today come with me
Send your sacred thread with someone
Why are you cutting all ties?
Why do I need any bond after this?
I have no ties with this family
I won't attend even a funeral here
'Shut up!'
Very happy
People who don't want to understand me, please leave
If akka is furious why do you make it worse, pa?
The relationship between my family and yours has ended
If my husband dies, you'll give a sari for the last rites
Give that to me now
You'll attend the funeral as my father He will come as my brother
Give me the sari now I'll walk out of your life
Instead of burning with animosity funeral pyre is better
Don't talk emotionally
Go in, get a sari and fling it on her face
Is this how much you love us?
This isn't how our family usually is
Someone is instigating all this Please don't lose your temper
Father may have spoken in anger
- 'Be patient, akka' - Go bring the sari
- What is this, dear? - Otherwise you leave
Amma, wait, don't go
Will we also face this same fate?
Your action is unjust to say the least
- Big blunder - Yes, dear
You are right
Pretending to be righteous you're ruining our togetherness
Only the 4 sons-in-law are from different wombs
So they behave differently
The four of you are born to the same mother
How are you so different?
We wanted a son only to stand by you
When he is in trouble, none of you stood by him
Like our bulls and banana trees
...they destroyed everything
The whole town enquired
But none of you bothered to visit us
He who makes everyone glad the world loves to watch him sad
But I don't want my son to be unhappy
The other day I was the one who told him
If 1 of your sisters or brothers-in-law are absent, this wedding won't take place
Where are you going? Sit in the car
Whether you attend and bless or you don't show your face...
...he will still get married
Give that to me
Only his happiness matters to me
All of you forgive me
I don't want you to fight
I don't want to ruin your unity
Your daughter can marry your brother
I don't want to be the cause for a feud in your family
- It's warming up - Strike now
Giving a sari for her as a widow All this is taking an ugly turn
What is ugly? Who are you in the first place?
Don't lose your cool Please be calm
Don't talk without any sense
Who is talking nonsense, da?
Don't you treat my father with scant respect
Bro-in-law, be respectful
- Trying to hit me? - What is this?
Who is arguing with my brother-in-law?
How dare you raise your hand? I'll pound you to a pulp
[overlap of angry voices]
Curb your tongue!
Clear out, you'll get it from me
Enough of your act Get out of here
Listen to me
- Move aside - You dare hit me?!
Pay heed to my words
Don't fight, all of you Let's talk and sort it out
He's enacting this drama to get his daughter married
- You're adding insult to injury - Stop it!
You insulted my father who came with good intentions, you'll regret this
All of you kindly leave
All of you clear out
"Stalk of paddy, with name and fame Who made you lower your head in shame?"
"Dilemma or in a quandary Kick it with a glance cursory"
'I want to bring our entire family together'
'Take a group photo and hang it with pride on our wall'
"Stalk of paddy, in awe and admiration Who made your head bow in humiliation?"
"Crisis or commotion T(h)rash it without hesitation"
"O' soul, cruel words how can you utter to hurt and scar my heart forever?"
"A home we built with love in earnest How can a tempest strike our nest?"
"Fate deals bad cards hard to cope"
"It's all in the game, don't lose hope"
"Stalk of paddy, with dignity and devotion Who made your head bow in humiliation?"
"Dilemma or in a quandary Kick it with a glance cursory"
"In the comfort of mother's lap asleep no hassles to hem in head-deep"
"In the warmth of father's sustenance the sky is within reach in our hands"
"Even when we walked on a muddy street we were clean without dirt on our feet"
"Like a scratch on a mirror we shattered as shards on the floor"
"In the winter of our life, agedness"
"We lose our way, blurred in bleakness"
"Stalk of paddy, with name and fame Who made you lower your head in shame?"
"Crisis or commotion T(h)rash it without hesitation"
Grandma, will you do me a favor?
Tell me what I should do, dear?
'Till date I've never asked any of you for anything'
I have reached 90 now
If you perform a ritual in the temple as a nonagenarian for my well being
I will die in peace
I am not a mini bus to comply to all your wishes
In a single day's downpour your ties have dissolved like sugar
I carried 6 in my womb and I gave birth to 2
I didn't nurse you, that's the only difference
'There is no one even to comfort me'
Who will step into that house?
It can be held in a temple or any common venue
Nachiyar, if you set your mind to it only you can unite this family
My youngest, if you don't visit me when I am alive
...if you lament loudly and garland me as a corpse
...will I even be aware of your grief?
'Please change the seat in your bike'
'Throwing me up and down my bones are all rattling'
What happened? Did they all agree to attend?
Even rain will bless grandma
As if my sisters won't?
If they go up, they have to come down
- Grandma, get ready - For what?
- Your mother's function - I'm not coming
How many temples G-grandma has visited for all of us to be happy
Shouldn't we cheerfully attend?
I am not coming
Grandma
Leave me alone I am not coming
- The bouncer is here - Akka
- Hello uncle - Welcome, little ones
- Welcome, uncle - My darling pet
Welcome Please come
Welcome
Tipper is here
- Welcome - How are you?
I am fine You walked away too
- Velunachi - Yes, Kodi
He's pretending he got a call
'Why is the mini bus slowing down?'
What happened?
I am respected in this village for my lineage
I can't sacrifice it for the feast served here
They have invited all kinds of stray dogs!
Oh! My dear
- Wait, listen to me - I can't give up my dignity
Why is the mini bus making an U-turn?
Welcome, sister
Welcome, dear
Please come
Welcome, sister
Welcome
Welcome, uncle
Please come
Uncle and aunt
'Why is he on a war path?'
Please come
'He is the only man who will walk in uninvited'
Greetings, brother
Brother, they have planned to cause a commotion
And kill you
Is it so? How many of them?
Only they know the plan
Be on your guard with your brothers-in-law
All their palms have been greased, be alert
I shall take leave
Why do you give him the respect he doesn't deserve?
Will he be the only one to spy on us?
Even I have set up spies in the enemy camp, he's one of us
We can handle it
Bless you, my dear
Wish you happiness
Oh God!
You're the eldest in our family, bless me
May you always be happy
Sister, your turn
You are bearing a cross, dear
It isn't an easy burden to carry
Your good heart will always keep you happy
My blessings for you to be happily married
Hello...you
Those who graced this occasion please stay for the feast
Why do you sulk and look grim like you are a stranger?
If you are angry, yell at him
Don't hoard ill feelings
Even fire has to extinguish
Please eat, dear
I am being magnanimous because I'm your son-in-law
Don't wash dirty linen here
All you have is a big fat ego and false prestige, uncle
You think you're some fierce tiger
Yes, da
I am a fierce tiger So what?
If you're angry unleash it please
Anger is like garbage
Am I angry?
Can I just ask 1 question?
How is that girl superior to my daughter?
Are you provoking me?
Don't you have any brains?
He is the main culprit How can you go and talk to him?
Pretending to be innocent and standing quietly
He must have hidden his father-in-law somewhere here, let's go
- What an act claiming to love me - Shut up, ma
Hey! Let go of me
- Sister, listen - Hear me out
I'll get my daughter married tomorrow
If you attend claiming to be her uncle to participate in the function
No tears, you'll see my true colors
We worshipped you as our only brother
You broke all ties like a mud pot
Whenever we had a family function
...all 5 of us looked forward to being together
Catching up on our lives All that has turned sour
No one even makes eye contact now
You ruined our happiness for the sake of a stranger
What makes her so sweet and special?
Even now you're unable to reject her and agree to marrying your niece?
- He has no contact with her - Then why is she still unmarried?
As if we don't know your strategy
You'll rock the cradle and pinch the child!
Hold this, mother Can I tell you something?
Listen to me properly
We are in a temple
Touch your heart and tell me
Has my son never been a loving brother?
Because your husband is unemployed
...he's paying interest for 2 mini buses he bought for him
He bought 2 tipper lorries on loan for his younger brother-in-law too
Paying monthly interest
Didn't he educate your children?
My son has deposited money in the bank for the wedding of your 3 daughters!
Was he ever stingy with his trousseaux?
For Deepavali, temple festival even every single birthday of-
If you pinpoint what we did it is best left undone
Let my sister get her fury out of her system
I'm not pinpointing I'm pricking their memory lapse
Instead of one of my granddaughters...
...will I bring some girl as my daughter-in-law?
He is an extrovert who goes out He talks to people in a friendly manner
He may have liked her face or her character
I don't know
Burying my dreams deep inside...
I wanted to discharge my duty for my son as a mother duly
How do you have the heart to be so cold and callous to malign my son?
More than you and me regretting you didn't have a son...
...my son has been so remorseful
More than your husband walking up and down hospital steps
...he took you to so many hospitals looking up to you as his beloved sister
Not wanting you to regret being childless
...he stayed in your house irrespective of any inconvenience
To top it all
He wanted to be your son, to perform your last rites, when you pass away
Are you spoiling the wedding of this son who wanted to be a son to you?
Can't bear this injustice
Even God won't tolerate this
Hello...are you there? What's happening?
None of you understood his good heart
Our family deity!
Even if we wash your feet and drink that water
...better sense won't prevail for us
Am I your mother?
Is my husband your father?
You have built a palace for us in your heart
How cruel of me to break your heart
That isn't true, akka
- Please forgive us - There's nothing to forgive
Is this why you were angry?
Unable to vent it out you had long faces and turned away?
Scold me, akka
You have every right
You can even beat me up
I will accept whatever my sisters do
But please don't ignore me and walk away
I cannot bear that indifference
Whatever you are doing stems out of affection
Whatever I'm doing is also out of love
What are you blaming me for now?
I didn't choose one of my nieces as my wife, right?
All of you always tell me how you showered love on me
The way my sisters cared for me...
...I showered the same love on my nieces
You deposited them as babies on my lap, made me sing lullabies
Did you bring me up to treat them as my fiancee?
If I hadn't always been with them I might have fallen in love
After cherishing them so much I can't help treating them as my sisters
When I hug and look at their faces I can only see my sister and mother
How can I think of her as my wife?
If I marry her just to satisfy your whim
...won't both our lives be ruined?
In order not to hurt my sister
And sever the uncle-niece bond...
...a teenager was married to her 40 year old uncle
Aren't we seeing how she is struggling in life with a child today?
If I marry Andal, I'll be hurting Chellamma
Andal will be hurt if I marry Chellamma
To avoid that, I felt my bride should be outside family ties
A girl walked into my life
Both of us liked each other
I thought it was God's will and informed all of you
But if you sever blood ties?
You decide now
You want me to marry Andal, I will
Or marry Chellamma?
Or both? Whatever you decide
Bigamy is not new to our family
Whatever all of you decide I will comply
I don't want my family to drift apart
I don't want to wound any of you
So many of our men are happy marrying their nieces
Don't worry on that count
'I don't want to marry my uncle'
I don't like each of your traits separately Your smile, speech or attitude
I love my uncle as an entity
I want you to be my uncle till the end, not my husband
Considering the fact Andal is a fatherless child...
...we shall unanimously agree Andal will be his wife
Do you want to marry me, uncle?
I'll marry you, dear
Will you be happy?
I'll try my best
I'll make sure you are happy
My dear uncle
Do you know to cry too?
We have never seen you cry
You are forever bubbly brimming with laughter
We have seen our dear uncle even act like a clown
How could we have hurt you like this and made you cry
'No, my dear'
He is our wealth
'I will get him married to the girl he loves'
If anyone dares to oppose this...
'...I won't hesitate to chop them to pieces'
'Uncle, she wants you to marry her right now'
I came here only because she asked me to come
My father won't consent
Don't worry, dear
My uncles hold a vengeful rage against you
Sometimes the situation straightens itself
I shall talk to your father
Be brave, dear
We treated you as our family member
Kodiyarasu is threatening to kill my family
I had no choice
All guests, family and friends please sit down
Check if any stranger is seated next to you
Nab him
[overlap of angry voices]
'Raghu, what's happening?
Aren't you ashamed of stabbing behind our back?
If you are man enough, stand face to face with my son
Come on
Son, escort this girl home safe and sound
Gunasingam
'Your father asked me if I'm man enough'
'I have come to prove that'
You think only you can kidnap my niece?
Can't I return that favor?
You kidnapped only 1 girl
I have kidnapped both your nieces
Not 2, bro
Three
You didn't spare even the child?
Leave her with me and take all 3 nieces
Get down, dear
Hello, my dear nieces
- Are you scared? - Fear...?
When our uncle is here, why should we be scared?
My dear uncle Fight with all your might
It's ages since we saw you fight
Hey you drug addict!
Bandana bandit!
- Both of you come out - Why?
You have to weigh minimum 50 kg to withstand my wrist-power
Both of you are underweight
Come out
Is there a farmer in your midst?
- Come this side - Why?
The farmers' livelihood has been trampled
Why should I add to your trauma?
We can't beat up our own clan, that's why
- Hey, where are you going? - Birds of the same feather!
Anyone with health issues like blood pressure, diabetes, weak heart?
If yes, come this side
- I have - So do I
With all the farming 24x7...
...my hands are rough & tough
With the blows I dish out now-
Go on
Blast them, uncle
Soooper, uncle
You killed my bulls who were like siblings to me
"Bulls of Tamil Nadu powerful"
"Strong, robust and formidable"
'Perunazhi Gunasingam [farmer]'
Hi friends
My dearest uncle is getting married today
'Come on, son-in-law'
'What is this?'
Will we be reborn with the same set of relatives?
Affinity is better than animosity
Come forward, uncle
'Mini bus and tipper lorry are com-plying'
Smile please
Stop
I can also walk up and down
Smart ass!
The floor may get worn out Slow down in your pacing
- What's going on? - Tension!
- Go...go - Hey! Sit down
Father, I have an angel of a daughter
In the form of Goddess Lakshmi
Our mother gave birth to 4 girl babies and finally 1 son
- Won't he be blessed with a son next? - We went in for family planning
- Why? - Birth control, huh?
What are you saying?
Don't you want a son?
Why differentiate a boy and a girl?
It is how you bring up the child that counts
Who would want more than this angel? Girls will be in demand now
Well said! MAZE HDRelease
Do I have to bring you up too?
Smile like your dad MAZE HDRelease
