Oh Lord Krishna!
I just hope the mother and daughter come out of this safe & healthy.
I'd be relieved if this damn 'Pooradam' (star sign) gets over...
and 'Uthradam' (star sign) starts.
It will be 'Uthradam'. No doubt about it. Confirmed!
It will be a boy, right?
'Pregnant with the mischievous Krishna, the cloud-coloured one, in her womb'
Didn't I tell you as soon as she became pregnant, Venugopalan?
It's definitely a boy. No doubt about it.
Venugopalan Menon?
Here he comes!
It's a girl!
Girl?
Sister, did you check properly?
To check so much, it's not the result of the SSLC exams!
It's a human child, right? Here you go!
That isn't how it's supposed to be!
'Blossomed with the beauty of three colours,
Pournami (full moon) of the auspicious month of Chingam', goes the saying.
So...Hereafter, let her be known as Pournami.
Pournami born with star sign of Pooradam!
What's the relation between Pooradam & Pournami?
No relation!
Isn't this how certain relations happen?
Still...
Just hold her, please.
'Pooradam' means blessing, right?
Oh Lord Krishna! Lord Guruvayurappa!
'Years back, on an ordinary Monday...
'completely opposite to predictions and a long wait,'
'a girl child was born to Venugopalan and Radhamani'.
'But, in another hospital in the same city...'
(singing the Yesudas classic Jab Deep Jale Aana)
Chandran...
30 marks out of 50 is not enough, Vijay.
It shows your low confidence level!
Come here!
Vijay, you have great self-confidence!
You just need to dig deep and get it out!
Or else, you won't be able to study in a good college.
You won't be able to roam around with good girlfriends!
Who is your superhero?
That...is Superman!
Superman!
Vijay, you're even more super than Superman!
You have much more potential than Saddam Hussein, right?
So you should look into the mirror every morning and say...
'Yes! I can!'
I can do it!
Nothing is impossible for me.
Vijay, you're super.
Vijay is super!
Vijay super! Vijay super!
What is it?
Well, Vijay super...
Vijay is super!
That's the name of Chandrettan's vehicle.
It's my scooter.
It's slightly old.
- Vijay super. - Vijay super.
'According to the doctor's instruction,'
'the hero of our story was trying really hard to increase his self-confidence.'
Vijay, you're super, Vijay!
You are an opportunity.
You can do everything under the sky!
Your potential is unlimited, and you're super, Vijay.
Why did you stop?
Say the rest too.. You are excellent,
You are excellent, you are amazing, and you're fabulous, Vijay!
Very good!
That's enough for today, son.
You can continue when you're back from school.
Rest in the evening...
Smart boy! Vijay...
Super!
'Years passed'
''At a school in the city, Pournami who's called Pinky at home'
'Our heroine'
'she asked really tough questions,'
'and shocked even the Maths teacher'
If you subtract 1 from 9, you will get 10.
Can anyone say how that's possible?
Anyone?
No!
Okay! We've failed. You say it, Pinky!
Watch!
- How much is this? - Nine.
Correct.
How much is it now?
- Ten! - Yes! That's it!
We are sure! Pinky will reach great heights!
She shocks us by asking different questions daily!
That's her current hobby.
Does she shock you at home as well?
At times...
Maths teacher says that if the logarithm wasn't invented,
Pinky would have invented it.
Physics teacher says that if gravity wasn't discovered,
Pinky would have discovered it.
'If Columbus hadn't discovered America, Pinky would have discovered it'
'Her class teacher even bragged on that level!'
'It was regular in that school as well, to invite parents over'
'and tell them that their children are superhuman,'
'and accept donations from them.'
Please accept this...
So, after a few years...
Look, sir.
The engine portion is in proper condition!
Good.
It hasn't had any accidents or scratches, right?
What are you saying, sir?
I am the high priest of Valanjambalam temple. I won't lie.
Just that I do this broker's job in the morning.
The car is in proper condition!
It hasn't had any hits or scratches ever since it was bought.
Is it?
- No! No! There has been! - There he goes!
It's a car that runs on the road, right? It has had its share of hits and scratches.
The car is not bad.
Any other major complaint?
No! Nothing!
- Nothing at all! - There is.
Once when we took out the car during the rain,
the engine turned off suddenly.
I tried my best to get it started again!
But when a mechanic from a workshop came and gave just a small touch,
- it started immediately! - Great!
That hasn't happened after that.
This car won't get the price you asked for.
Along with that, if you say that the engine also got stuck...
If I do a business by saying lies, I won't be able to sleep. That's why.
You needn't lie.
We will think about it & let you know.
Okay? Isn't that fine?
- Sorry. - Come, bro.
We'll see you soon, Satheeshan.
Sir, I...
Why did you have to tell them that the engine gave you trouble?
If you had reduced just 10,000 this deal would have happened.
Just to waste my time!
As if he's the Lord of truth!
It's a car that used to run without any problems, right?
You needn't tell them all the truths, right?
You lost everything you had by doing favours, right?
To do a business by lying,
is equal to breaking into their house and stealing, Chetta (elder brother).
And, it wasn't because of my incompetence that I'm in so much debt.
Did you forget what happened in my life?
Did they leave?
They went their own way. Give it to me.
- I added sugar. - I don't want it.
Here.
Your best friend cheated you and took away all your financial savings!
To be in a debt of 80 lakhs...
is that a silly matter?
You do one thing.
Don't think about sentiments.
Sell this ancestral house of ours.
I don't have a problem.
And don't make moneylenders keep coming to our house.
As long as I'm alive, I won't let anyone sell this house.
Hey! Didn't you say that Madhavi's PF got passed & you got some money?
Give him some cash from it.
Don't sell this car for the time being.
Even though it's old, let it be here at this courtyard.
Look at me.
I'll tell you one thing.
Vijay's marriage. That should be done immediately.
If an efficient girl comes into his life,
all his laziness would be gone.
The problems here would be solved,
only if a girl with education, lineage and good dowry comes to this house.
To take dowry?
- What are you saying, Etta? - Don't argue.
I'm saying this after giving it a lot of thought.
Think practically.
Is it intelligent to sell the house and settle the debt,
or to get your son married by taking dowry.
I'll send you the money for the time being.
Don't utter the word 'business' in this house again!
Just because you finished MBA, it's not like you can't do other jobs!
Pournami's ideas!
Pournami will be a great person!
Pournami is something special!
Saying all that, so many evil eyes were cast on you.
Otherwise, how can both businesses you started flop so badly?
It means that this is not meant for you!
Hello!
And finally I started a firecracker company. And it didn't burst!
So at least that's there. Sell that & pay me back!
It was the crackers that didn't burst!
When the crackers didn't burst, that company also flopped.
My dad always says this about me...
That my name would come on the Guinness book.
It's true.
Dad's not saying anything because he doesn't want you to feel sad.
And not because he's not concerned!
Hey!
You are our only child!
Matching the horoscopes properly,
only boys with lineage and education and brought here for the match-making ceremony.
Until one is fixed, proposals would keep coming.
Son, why are you driving so slow?
The car won't scream if you drive a little faster.
Etta, we're already 30 minutes early.
Why should he drive fast?
Go slowly.
If I have to go somewhere, I need to reach there early.
Or else, I have some kind of suffocation.
This is not like going to any random place, Etta.
We're going for the match-making ceremony, right?
That's what I said...
Before they get ready there, if we reach there,
we can understand things and surroundings much better.
- That's true. - That's all.
You're going for a match-making, like you go for your real estate sales, Etta.
I didn't say anything! Son, you drive however you want to!
Well, what happened to these guys today?
Why are you silent?
Nothing, uncle.
We were thinking about his future.
You're big shot music directors, right? Do you have any work?
We don't have time for anything apart from work, uncle.
We're going for a good deed, right? What about a song now?
That would be great.
Keep quiet, mom.
He will say all that. You guys sing!
Oops! I have throat pain.
As if you'd sing if your throat was okay!
Same excuse whenever you're asked to sing!
We're going for an auspicious function, right?
Sing!
- Oh! You've agreed! - No! I was checking the pitch!
Yes.
"Why this hide and seek?"
"My dear, I am as transparent as glass"
"Why this hide and seek?"
What happened, son?
Try starting once more.
What happened, dude?
What did I do?
The battery must be faulty.
And your song's too.
- What happened? - Get out and check.
The car didn't have any problems, right?
Open the bonnet & check. That's what everyone does, right?
Sorry!
Sorry?
When Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa Swami was ailing and couldn't move,
God came in his dream and told him,
'Ramakrishna,
'As long as this world exists, you will live on through people who love you'
- Pinky! - Yes!
Come here. We're going to get ready.
You should watch these kids.
Coming!
Grandma, a family is coming to see her today, for an alliance.
You go there.
Can't you dress up a little better?
What for?
I'll be back after my punishment!
Bye!
- Come here once you're done. - Okay!
My dear Ganeshan, don't change your word.
4 PM?
Okay. Come then.
Sudha's children are here.
If it gets closed, it will be a lot of trouble.
So 4 o'clock! Okay?
Menon, aren't you ready yet?
They are coming to see you, not me!
Pinky!
Can you take the milk off the stove?
- We'll be right there. - Okay.
I'll get ready quickly. You get going.
- Hello! - Hello.
The match-making ceremony... Here?
- Right? - Yes.
I am the girl.
This is the guy.
Our car broke down on the way.. So...
To freshen up.. Washroom?
Come.
- Come. - You go. I'll come with them.
You carry on.
- This room? - No!
Mom is changing there. Let's go upstairs.
- Come. - Sorry.
Come.
- That's the washroom. - Thank you.
Hey! Both of you are sitting here?
Haven't we told you not to get into this room?
Go! Both of you get going!
I won't talk to you, Pinky. Just when I was about to win the game..
- I won't talk to you! Monkey! Pinky! - Excuse me, towel?
Chinnu! Didn't I tell you not to close the door?
Sorry!
I forgot!
What have you done, dear?
Haven't we told you not to close this door?
Ganeshan just told me that he would repair it in the evening!
What can I do, dad? She closed it!
Hey! It's not a field!
It's a first rate ground.
Please stop it! You've been going on about fields and grounds for long!
Okay! I'll call you back.
- Isn't your make up done? - Done. Coming!
This house isn't half as big as we heard.
We didn't come to measure the size of the house. We came to see the girl, right?
There's parking only for one car.
- Where is Vijay? - He just went in.
To wash his hands.
Careful.
You are?
No need of any doubts. We came to see the girl.
Chechi, they are here.
- Please come. - Come on.
- Hi aunty. - Namaste aunty.
- Great! - The power is gone!
Is it your birthday today?
No, it was last week. Why?
Well, it should have been today. Come.
Venu Etta, they have reached.
I'm coming.
They have reached, dear.
Why have these losers come so early?
Culture less fellows.
Fools! Idiots!
Don't they have any...
Coming in early?
- Dad! - Yes!
He is in here.
Who?
- The guy who came to see me. - The groom?
Yes. The groom.
How?
I just came in to use the washroom, uncle.
Sorry.
Sorry...I was talking about Ganeshan...
That's okay.
- Who else is inside, dear? - Nehakutty is here, dad.
The door got locked.
Locked?
It had been faulty.
Don't try to open it. It won't open.
Hold this.
Hello! Hello!
It won't open!
Didn't I say that it's faulty?
But...
He has called the guy. Didn't dad mention a Ganeshan?
It will be all right.
'Vijay Super and Pournami'
It must be hotter upstairs.
- That must be the girl's dad. - For sure.
Please sit.
Well, the car had some trouble on the way, right?
Who told you?
Well, the boy had said...
I had selected an auspicious time checking the 'Rahukalam'.
But you started a little early?
- Did he say that too? - No.
- I strongly believe in time and omens. - Is that so?
Was it difficult to find the house?
We went in rounds for a bit.
A confusion between Dr. Rajendran & Ravindran street.
That's all right.
There's a small problem.
What happened?
Well...Surya...
went to the washroom upstairs to freshen up.
Surya? Who is that?
Son.. Your son!
My son's name is Vijay.
- Not Surya. - Oh! Vijay.
You were saying that there's some problem.
Well, the lock of the room upstairs got jammed...
Vijay went to the washroom there.
So is he stuck inside?
Well, the carpenter will come right now.
- Who is with him? - My daughter is with him. Pinky.
The girl we were about to see?
Definitely.
Oh God!
It's okay.
There's a ritual in which the girl and boy talk to each other, right?
Just consider that it got over first.
But please call that carpenter and ask him to come fast.
I'll call him.
You don't be tensed.
Hey!
Do you know how to break locks?
Oh no! I don't know anything about locks, uncle.
You guys are good for nothing!
We are music directors, uncle.
Call him on his phone.
Call fast.
Call!
Uncle,
his phone is with me.
He gave it to me when we were in the car.
What is this, dear?
Haven't we told you to be careful with this door?
What can I do if she closes it, mom?
Son...
Is she calling me? Yes, aunty!
- Don't get scared. - Scared?
- No! - Stop it, Chechi.
Neha, don't play the video game!
I will play the game!
- Mom, I also want to go inside. - Shut up!
After causing all this trouble!
Pinky, we'll do what's necessary to open the door.
Until then, talk to each other.
Know the likes and dislikes!
Dear, shall we go downstairs?
Okay.
Okay, let's go. Come.
- Shall I pick this? - Who is it?
It's Gopiettan. Gopi Sunder.
- Some musical doubts. - Yeah right.
- I'm also coming. - Hello.
Can you hear me, sir?
Sir, we are in a meeting!
The power is back!
Hello!
I have seen you somewhere.
Correct.
I have also seen you somewhere, but...
No idea!
This room is full of AR Rahman & KS Chitra.
Are you a big fan?
Die-hard fan!
I've been wanting to click a picture with both of them, but it hasn't happened yet.
That's a very easy desire!
Hello!
Don't mock me!
Hey! I wasn't mocking you!
Please take it.
- Sudha, where's the tissue paper? - It's over there.
This...
Grandmother.
I understood that she's a grandmother.
She's old, right?
- Whose grandmother? - Pinky's grandmother.
On the day of her 80th birthday celebrations,
she ate an amazing feast,
suddenly she fell unconscious and that was it!
Awesome! Super!
- What? - Well...
All relatives could be present, right?
What?
He was saying that it's a great tragedy. Poor grandmother.
- Eat! - Have an Unniyappam!
And shut up!
- Dude, I meant... - Hey Ganeshan!
Just a minute.
It's Ganeshan. The carpenter.
Ask him to come fast.
My dear Ganeshan, the boy who came to see her is locked in that room!
- Not 4 o'clock! - Who is Ganeshan?
- Reach here immediately. - He called the carpenter to break the lock
You guys can't do it, right?
- Don't forget to take the drill. - Eat!
- Okay. - Eat what you have in hand first.
Didn't you take anything?
We'll take it.
Did he say where he has reached?
He'll be here now. He is on the way.
- Have it. - Okay.
Don't worry.
Dad must be finding ways to open the door.
It's all right. I'm not in any hurry.
Is this your first time?
No.
When I was studying in fourth grade,
I got beaten up by uncle with a cane, for doing some mischief.
In that anger, I got into my room, and closed it hard like this.
The lock got jammed.
Then people from the surroundings came, broke the roofing tiles, got inside...
It was quite dramatic!
- Not that. - Then?
Is this your first match making ceremony?
Yeah.
This is my first time ever.
This is usual for me though.
Uncle!
Fifteenth.
Oh no!
Pinky, take it.
What is it?
Please take it.
Hi Vijay.
- Hi. - Pinky!
- Didn't you see that? - Yes.
Got it!
- Pinky! - Got it!
- Serve it, okay? - Yes.
Don't give too much ketchup to Neha.
I will eat all the ketchup!
I'm going downstairs, okay!
Okay!
Then?
Going on!
What else?
Just like that...
Doing good.
All good there, right?
Except for the door problem, it's all good.
Does any other door here have such a problem?
Not all doors have such a problem.
That's fortunate!
- Have some samosa. - No.
- Actually... - Actually...
- Tell me. - No. You tell me.
No, it's okay.
You tell me.
Okay.
Can you...
Can you stand up, please?
How many ever times!
See!
We're not at all a good match.
Right?
Is that so? What's the problem?
Can't you see?
- Is there such a big problem? - Yes.
You turn this side.
Dear, how do we look?
Not a good match, uncle!
Great!
Awesome!
Even if we make a good match,
now I'm not ready for a marriage.
My parents don't seem to understand.
This match-making drama has been going on for a while.
I request everyone who come here to say that they didn't like me.
Even you should say that.
Please.
Okay.
Did you notice serial bulbs and stars on the way here?
- At the balcony? - Serial bulbs?
Yes. Illumination lights.
Usually dad gives that also as an identification for people who come here.
Didn't he tell you?
I didn't pay attention.
Dad is adamant that he'd remove it only after my wedding.
Like in the movie 'Maheshinte Prathikaram' (Mahesh's Revenge).
I got relieved only now.
To be frank, I became ready for this ceremony
only because of the pressure from my family.
I'm not prepared for a marriage yet.
And yeah, in my house, you won't find these serial bulbs and such melodrama.
What's your future plan?
Actually, my best friends...
those two girls in that photo, are in Australia.
I also want to go there.
But...
I've wasted quite a lot of dad's money by doing businesses I wasn't good at.
There's no point staying here, if I have to repay that.
Or else, I should do a business again.
I actually have confidence.
But the Australian Visa has already arrived.
Since I'm the only daughter, they're not letting me go.
An emotional...
I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.
You don't have to say sorry.
Anyways...
It was wonderful meeting you.
Wish you all the best.
Nehakutty, shall this uncle leave?
Okay?
I need to celebrate this with a couple of beers.
It's my first match-making ceremony!
Shucks!
This door!
I forgot about that.
This is a massive stuck up situation!
Well, didn't you say that you aren't in any hurry?
Well...
I didn't think I would get stuck like this.
And my phone is with those guys.
- What is this? - Not to get bored.
Is it your dad's wedding album?
Look.
Where do you work?
I don't work anywhere.
I mean, I used to.
But right now...
Degree?
I have an engineering degree which I got
by clearing all the supply's with lots of difficulty.
My family tried to inject and make a broiler engineer.
But it didn't work out.
Are your parents really strict?
No! They are very naive.
No parents would be so supportive.
It's actually very funny!
Tell me then.
That would take a lot of time.
It's a really long story.
We have at least one hour's time.
And we don't have anything else to talk about.
And it's not a small thing to get someone to listen to you these days.
So don't waste time.
Tell me.
Say it, uncle.
Come on!
Okay.
On the morning of an exam day, I was making chits to copy in my room.
Didn't he wake up yet?
He went to bed late.
- Doesn't he have an exam today? - Yes. It's at 2 PM.
He has prepared very well.
So? It's 9 o'clock.
Hey! You don't be tensed unnecessarily.
- Dear... - Yes.
Bring dad's bag.
Viju...
- Yes. - Open the door.
- Dad! - Were you studying?
Yeah.
A little. It's done.
Didn't you drink tea?
I hadn't finished studying, dad. That's why...
What's the exam today?
- Machine design. - Machine design! Did you study?
What is this?
Are you sure that you'd pass if you copy?
That...
- I may pass. - Oh!
Then you needn't fail because of that.
Tell me whatever your doubts are. I'll write it for you.
Your hands must be sore after writing so much.
Tell me. I'll write it for you.
No... Dad...
I'm not mocking you!
You wrote a lot, right? Now you tell me. I'll write.
Read everything you have doubts on and tell me. Here!
Dad, this subject is quite difficult for me.
So? Should you copy?
If you fail, go ahead and fail, man!
Have I ever scolded you?
Do you know why I said that I'll write it for you?
Whenever you feel like copying again, you should remember what I said now.
Even if we build a huge stage with lies,
it won't have the eligibility to host even an ant.
By making mistakes, your life itself would turn into a huge mistake.
You are my son!
Write whatever you know!
You will pass today!
So sweet!
You're so lucky to get such parents.
Thank you.
Actually, me too.
But they would bring me under their control, with emotional dialogues.
It's true.
- But.. - Wait! Wait!
Did you clear that exam?
Wow!
So dad's blessing was quite something, huh?
Did you buy these samosas?
No. Aunt Sudha made them.
It has a slightly sweet taste.
Try it.
It is sweet indeed!
The reason behind you staying here,
avoiding all the proposals coming your way,
saying that you want to go to Australia,
is also something sweet.
Right?
That of a major affair?
Right?
One doesn't have to be extra intelligent to understand this.
Just common sense.
All those who came and left from here like me, would have understood that too.
Leave that.
What did you study?
Medicine? Engineering?
- CA? - MBA.
MBA!
I always wished to do business and become a successful entrepreneur.
But everything flopped.
Dad was expecting a boy child 101%,
when I was born, like a lightning that struck him.
Dad was a close friend to director Padmarajan.
He has worked as an executive producer for some of his movies as well.
Wow!
All are epic movies!
Long back, an astrologer had predicted,
'Stop this right away, or you'll lose your shelter too!'
But dad never made any losses.
I was the one who did it.
What were we beginning to say?
Actually, we hadn't begun to say anything.
Was it while studying for MBA? That sweetness?
Not MBA. While doing IELTS.

It's my place, okay?
Hey! Savio bro!
Hey!
Sir, just a sec!
Hey man! What's up? Long time, huh?
- This is Pinky, my girlfriend. - Girlfriend?
Hi!
So she's girlfriend number?
I think...
It's 12th!
- Aren't you happy? - Hey bro! I have a presentation.
I'll catch you later. You guys enjoy, okay?
Wait! Wait!
Which Savio? Chef?
Yes. From Roger's cafe.
Were you a regular customer there?
That was my first time.
From then on, I became a regular buff.
But his attitude!
Phew!
He is one of the very best chefs in Kochi.
He can throw some attitude.
Do you know him personally?
Between Savio, me and that restaurant...
there's a strong relationship of 3 months.
Actually, he's my mentor.
Who? Him? How come?
Hey Savio!
What happening guys?
Long time, no see!
- Laurel & Hardy are together, huh? - Not just us.
- Meet Mr. Chaplin! - Hello!
Like I said that day...
for a few days, until he learns everything.
Just let him be with you.
After studying engineering, why are you doing this, Vijay?
Is this necessary?
Actually, this is my...
Passion, right?
We usually appoint only those who have done hotel management.
But I made them a promise.
With the heat in the kitchen, and all the shouting from the customers,
you, who studied engineering, would run away from here.
That I'm sure.
No. Never.
Let's see.
"He just wanna chase that dream Holding on to his faith in his game"
"No matter how many times he fail Get back in style 'cos he's on this game"

"He's the man, he's the one He's never gonna miss it, ain't no way"
"Let's see how he plays in style Chasing the dreams and claiming them in style"
That's nice.
Your first preparation is ready to serve!
Give him a big round of applause!
Vijay...
Imagine the sight of the entire audience standing up and applauding,
after a concert by Beethoven.
A chef also goes through the same magical experience.
There's that feeling we get
when we see someone relishing the food we prepared, right?
That's it.
Look! Your first preparation.
Didn't I tell you?
That I've seen you somewhere.
Hey! Don't tell me, it was me?
Was it?
Shouldn't you click a photo and frame it like this, at that instant?
So actually, what's your next plan?
Yes.
Within one year...
on one of the beach roads...
I want to start a small restaurant.
Food quality should be our USP.
In the present situation, would your dad agree?
I must make him agree!
- Dad! - Yes!
- How come you're early today? - Yes.
Shall we go to the Ganapathi temple then?
I was going to say that to you myself, dad.
Did you hear that, mom?
I did.
This devotion is not something that should come once in a while like the rains.
Understood?
Even though it's a little late, I understood that, grandma!
Hereafter, I will be a regular devotee!
Did you tell him about that?
- No. - Then you must have said it, mom.
No! I haven't said anything.
What is it, dad?
Bring that cover, dear.
You tell me. What's the reason for this sudden devotion?
Dad...
A job that I should be paying 2 or 3 lakhs for,
the biggest chef here promised to place me into it for free!
- To become a chef? - Yes.
That means, a cook?
Is that why I sent you for engineering?
Dad!
It's my dream to become a big chef...
and start a beach restaurant beside some beach here.
Your dream! I'll knock your head off!
You and your damn dream!
I am all helpless here.
Business is meant for people with intelligence.
Bring it here.
Here.
You should join on Monday morning.
You needn't be in the hot sun or the rains. Just sit in an AC office & attend calls!
- Where? - Our...
Manassery Raghu's friend, right? It's a call centre that he runs.
Dad!
If we get 30,000 per month, that would be a great relief.
Should I work at a call centre after studying engineering?
After studying engineering, you want to wash other's plates & serve them curries?
Look who's boasting about engineering!
Then say the spelling of Thermodynamics correctly!
He wants to be a chef, it seems!
He wants to open a tea shop!
All parents behave the same way.
Emotional blackmailing.
When I couldn't tolerate the emotional blackmailing anymore,
I had to go and join that call centre.
I found a girlfriend there.
She was my only relief.
A typical temple-dweller type of a girl.
Typical temple-dweller type of girl.
It's like the title of an Arundhati Roy book.
So you got a girlfriend. And then?
Tell your mom I said Hi.
- Tell her who said Hi? - Oh! Great!
You should take rest for 3 days properly.
So you forgot whatever I told you?
The main plan is to visit temples with mom and aunt.
So, no rest.
Call me, okay!
Except the temple, I'll pick up the phone everywhere else I am.
- Will you call me? - Of course!
Then tell me my number.
Number...
It's the number I call regularly, right?
So if you lose your phone somehow, you won't call me?
Can't you remember at least the phone numbers of people close to you, Vijay?
Leave it.
920720
66221
Once more.
9207066221.
Okay!
Shall I go?
Hey Reshu! One minute.
Didn't you say that you'll be getting your salary late?
- Here. Keep this. - No need, Vijay.
You go and have fun with your mom and aunt!
Give them a surprise!
So, to remember me for three days, keep this.
Until you come back, to remember you, I will wear this on my neck like this,
and keep it close to my heart.
So 92070?
9207066221.
- Shall I go? - Love you.
9207066221.
What type of call centre was it?
To book hotels to stay in India or abroad.
You'll get them at best rates there.
Such a...
Then?
Sir, I don't have any cash with me. That's why I'm asking for advance salary.
Go and work sincerely.
There's an inspection. They will be here now.
Please don't compel me to do anything bad, okay?
What?
This is the girl from the next building, right?
Is your wedding over?
It's my head-ache!
Okay.
That day, I got a nice phone call.
That turned everything upside down for me.
Hello, Namaste.
Hello. My name is Jerry.
Thank you for saying your name. Welcome to Holidays For You.
How can I help you?
I need a room for a quiet stay at Thekkady or Munnar.
It's okay even if it's a little expensive.
- Find out... - Definitely, sir.
Are you travelling with your family?
Errr...Yes. I'm travelling with family.
Okay. I'll forward the details of 3 resorts to your number, sir.
Please tell me your phone number.
Sorry, I can't reveal my number.
I'll give you my wife's number.
92070...
66221.
It's correct.
9207066221. It's correct. Very correct.
How did you understand that?
9207066221...
- The number is correct. - Isn't that Reshma's number?
How do you know Reshma?
Who is Reshma to you?
Who are you to ask me that?
Tell me how you know Reshma!
- Tell me! You know who I am? - Who is Reshma to you?
I needn't tell you whether she's my wife or girlfriend, idiot!
- Is she standing next to you now? - If she is?
If so, give the phone to her.
Give the phone to her. I want to talk to her.
Give it to her, I say.
Give the phone to Reshma!
- Hello Vijay! - You liar!
You guys relax. I'll manage it.
Everyone told me that no girl should be trusted and I didn't listen.
"It's like that if you touch the thorn of love"
"Lost my job, lost my time"
"Slowly you will be stranded on the streets, bro"
"She is gone, that's awesome"
"The romance has become a mess, bro"
Now you understood where you've seen me?
Actually, it was Naresh who showed this video to me.
We actually started talking about a big plan, by talking about this video.
This is called being struck by lightning and then bitten by a snake.
Within a day, he lost his job and his girlfriend.
We can realize what's happening in outer space sitting here.
But we can't understand what's happening in the mind of people we love,
even if we sit right next to them.
Hey!
Stop your philosophy.
For God's sake, can you tell me that business plan of yours?
Restaurant.
Restaurant?
Are you mad?
One more restaurant in this town?
I thought you were going to say some new, innovative idea.
Hey Pinky!
The first quality a partner needs is to listen to the whole thing,
and then giving an opinion.
Sorry. Tell me.
Tell me your idea.
Have you heard about food trucks?
Like the 'Khaana-gaadis' in Delhi & Mumbai?
Food-vehicle?
- Restaurant on wheels! - Exactly!
But ours won't be just a street food set up.
We will provide the same food quality as a four star hotel.
We'll set it at a place which is not so busy.
Working time, say from... 7 PM to 12 AM.
People should gradually know about this and come to us.
See. This is just an outline.
We shouldn't just serve the food somehow.
It's look and feel is important.
AR Rahman's songs...
Or any melodious song...
We would play them in low volume.
Those who want to sing, can sing too.
Those who bring violins and guitars, can play that too.
We'll get great support from the media.
Youngsters and riders would also support us.
And the most important thing is...
This concept would bring a good name to us.
Among the common people.
- Hi. - Hi.
Pooja was waiting here?
She reached quite some time back.
Hey bro!
- Hi guys! Are you ready? - Yup.
- Two minutes! - Okay!
What is this, dear?
It's just a few hours ride from here to Bangalore.
I'll come back after 2 weeks, on your birthday.
- Let's have lunch together, okay? - Okay.
I need to tell daddy about our business and get money from him.
Then...
Most important thing... A next step in our relationship...
I mean...
Just an okay from my family's side.
For a namesake.
- Here. - What is this?
For your parents.
Hey Naresh!
- Let's move on! - Okay.
Let's go.
To meet again and again, it's good to be separated once in a while like this.
Shall I leave?
See you!
She has come with a new idea to waste money!
Food business!
As if she has a lot of knowledge about food!
I'm asking only for 10 Lakhs from the money kept aside for my wedding.
If you keep wagging your tongue again, I'll slap you.
10 Lakhs?
Is it a small amount?
Are you sure that it would be successful?
Dad!
Are you 100% sure?
I haven't asked this the last 2 times, but...
Dad, trust me. This time I'll make it happen.
It's fine, right?
Would I sell it to you if it wasn't fine, Venu Sir?
- Shall we sign the sale letter then? - Let's sit upstairs, sir.
Please.
I'll sign it and come.
Get in.
Hello.
Hello!
I haven't been able to reach you for 3-4 days.
You're really busy, huh?
No problem. I can understand.
And yeah...
- I'm sitting on a hot seat now. - Hot seat?
Yeah. I thought I'll say that to my partner.
Naresh!
- There's a surprise. - Keep quiet.
Pinky...
What all are you saying?
- I didn't get you. - Why do you sound upset?
- Anything at home? - No.
Nothing.
Hey Naresh! Don't be tensed about anything.
Just be with me, confidently.
What did Pooja say in between?
Some surprise?
That...
She was just reminding about the birthday...
Okay.
There are just 5 more days.
Lunch with me.
You had promised.
Hello! What happened?
I'm telling you! If it's about the business, don't be worried.
It will work out, 100%.
- Okay. - Okay?
Isn't it double okay?
What's there not to work out?
Actually, your business is plan is really unique.
I used to think earlier...
The most expensive seats on flights...
why they are not called engineer's class or doctor's class,
and they are called business class instead.
Only you businessmen have money!
Hey! Come on!
Have you ever tried to do any business?
Not any business as such.
But I had worked out an awesome plan to make money!
What?
The day I met that idiot once again.
Hey!
Look! It's him.
Who?
That rascal Cleetus.
The one who put up my video on YouTube!
That rascal.
I don't want your job.
We are all fools, wasting time here.
"YouTube Cleetus"
"See, Vijay gives you back"
"YouTube Cleetus"
"See, Vijay gives you back"
Don't hit me.
Please don't humiliate me in front of that foreigner.
Please.
What happened?
- Not happened. - What?
He mistook...I mean...
He changed the person!
- You sit in the chair. - Okay.
Don't humiliate me.
What I did to you was sheer treachery!
Vijay, don't leave him without hitting him. Or else, we'll hit him.
- Are you sure? - Any doubt?
If so, do you have any trouble in taking me away & hitting me?
You're such a parasite!
Am I not?
I was just a peon at that call centre.
I just put up his video on YouTube, just for fun.
After a month, I got a mail.
There's a cheque of 10,000 Rupees. Come & collect it.
- Cheque? - Yes.
What for?
The video became viral, right?
That's when I knew that, for every single view, like and share,
YouTube has a strange habit of paying money to the uploader.
By going there to collect cheques,
I got introduced to this foreigner.
She gave me a job in YouTube.
Hence I became YouTube Cleetus.
This is my life story.
If we spare you without hitting you, what will you give us?
Compensation.
Cash!
Here we go!
This is my contact.
Just WhatsApp your location...
I'll reach there with the compensation.
What else will we get?
Then...
To make money through social media....
there are thousands and thousands of ways!
I'll teach you all that.
How?
Action!
'Wear Kitex Lungis and come'
You guys are good!
What is this, man?
Trust me.
Here. 25,000 Rupees.
The compensation I told you about.
Viral videos are my daily bread now.
I just make prank videos, and use my influence at YouTube to make it a hit,
and then make money from them!
If we can make money out of it, teach it to us as well, Cleetus.
Dude, prank videos are like...
making fools out of people...
It's a shady job!
But if we do it with the co-operation of people, it's not like that.
Watch!
80 Lakh views?
Dude, let's do this.
What if this Cleetus is God's own Cleetus?
He might be.
Even though we can make money..
Nothing more. We're doing this prank video, right?
- Yes. For sure! - That's it.
Then we will start from a bus stop auspiciously!
So all of you understood everything, right?
Just for five minutes, all of you should act for us.
He is quite smart.
All of you can reach to the extent of hitting me,
but for God's sake, no one should hit me.
What if we hit you?
If you hit, the programme will be successful.
But don't hit him.
The camera is over there.
- Saw that? - They are our friends.
Until I say, no one should look into the camera.
Finish this off before the bus comes, okay?
- Definitely. - Which channel is this for?
It's an international channel.
- Then start! - Okay then.
You don't need this.
Don't take it off. People will watch this, right?
Don't be like Neymar. Act naturally.
So, all the best! Burn and die!
- I'll rock. - All the best.
Son, is this original petrol?
Who will burn petrol like this?
Well, from the colour...
It's just water. Smell it.
- True. - It's water.
What happened?
Have arranged everything. We just have to shoot it now.
That will be awesome.
Don't forget that this is acting. Since I'm going to be very natural.
- Beautiful frame. - Dude, two ladies are coming.
Awesome!
- This will be great. Shoot fast. - Let's try to work this out with them.
Two people..
Two ladies are coming. All of you should co-operate, okay!
- All the best. - Just hug me from here.
You should say don't light it, okay?
Leave me!
O blind world!
Who is that?
I don't want to live here.
He is rocking.
Listen to us.
Harthals that come up daily!
The rising fuel prices!
Notes in green & yellow colours!
I don't want to live here.
Such lame dialogues. I'd have done better.
Chetta, anyone? Chechi, please light it.
- No - Want lighter?
No one will burn me? Or else, I'll make those ladies burn me.
Chechi, please burn me. I don't want to live in this world.
Chechi, how to go to Thoppumpady?
- Where? - Dude, two guys with helmets.
Look there.
- These 2 are not in the script. - How many kilometres from here?
Dude, let's go! Come on, fast.
Oh no! My chain!
- Catch them! - Stop there!
My chain of 4.5 sovereigns!
- Catch them! - The chain!
Hey! Don't worry, Chechi.
Your chain hasn't gone anywhere.
This is a TV programme.
Look at the camera!
Camera
Awesome!
My neck is hurting like anything. I think there's a cut.
Your damn TV programme!
"Everything has gone for a toss"
Give me my chain!
Call the chain snatcher.
Sir, to call the chain snatcher..
Royally messed up!
"All the tricks were wasted"
"Dreams have been stranded on the streets"
- Escape! - You too, Cleetus!
Give her the money.
Here.
Try to do some decent job, man!
Fooling people?
- Then shall we? - Okay.
Such a disgrace.
Vijay, wait.
I'm not telling this to Chandran for the time being.
If you're doing this to repay the debt at home,
you shouldn't be fooling people for that.
You should listen to us elders.
We will find a girl from a rich household.
If you try to object...
Life is not your fun and games!
Remember that.
So it's for dowry...
It's not because I'm interested.
But our situation is such...
Hey! Even if I do get married one day, I won't pay a single Rupee as dowry.
Then why has your dad offered 75 Lakhs or 1 Crore?
My dad?
- 1 Crore? - Yes.
Dream on!
The next round is here.
- Pinky! - Yes.
- Take this. - Okay.
Hey Vijay!
- Hi aunty. - Not aunty. Chechi.
You're still there, right?
- Yes. - Pinky, Ganeshan will come now.
Okay.
Who is this Ganeshan?
The carpenter.
Shouldn't we get the door open?
That reminds me...
We didn't finish that story...
The one who said he'll come on your birthday...
What happened to your business?
To give a surprise to Naresh that day,
I took my parents also along.
When we came here, this place was quite crowded.
But now, we are the only ones here.
It's already 4 o'clock now.
If he's not coming, can't he...
call and say that?
It's still switched off.
Do you still think that he's gonna keep his word?
Do you...
Uncle!
Do you want us to wait till the evening?
Tell me.
We can!
We'll do what you say for today!
After that, you should do what we say!
What kind of a sadist is he?
Today is your birthday.
Has he taken any money from you, in the name of business?
He's online now.
The number you're trying to reach is switched off.
Please call again later
We can tell anyone to learn by suffering on their own.
But we can't say that to our own daughter.
Think from our point of view, just for a second.
Be a little more softer, Venuetta...
She has become like this, because of your pampering.
You won such a big lottery!
Imagine if you had married him...
Did you notice something?
Even after we shared so many things,
there's nothing common between us.
Common...
Right?
I think...
Sorry...Surya...
No, Vijay...
You got scared, right?
No, it's okay
Sorry, dear.
No, uncle. We should be saying sorry.
No. We made a blunder.
Yeah. The door shutting like that was a big blunder.
It's not about the door.
We've come to the wrong house.
We had to go to a different house.
I realized the blunder, when I got a call from there.
In the tension of this door getting jammed, we forgot to clear that between ourselves.
Let's leave then. Come.
Sorry, my mistake.
Okay then.
I forgot to ask that.
I think this is the place.
Pournami.
- This is the place. - Yes.
Didn't you see those serial lights?
Yes. That's it.
Nice, right?
Mom, isn't this okay?
Surya, didn't you tuck in your shirt?
Didn't you see me when I left home?
Tuck it in at least when you're going to see a bride!
I'm telling you. Tuck it in!
Don't waste time arguing. You do it.
- She's obsessive. - Hey!
Keeps repeating the same thing!
This is really a torture.
Tuck it in.
Make it fast.
- Dad, just a minute. - We're already late.
Why are you irritating me?
You are?
We've come to see the bride...
- Referred by Raghu of SBT? - Yes.
The same.
You became quite late, right?
It took some time to cross the stadium.
There's a match today, right?
- Cricket! - Yes.
Who are we playing against?
- America. - Oh God!
- Mom! - Against America?
- Cricket. - Isn't that so?
- Sri Lanka. - Yes. Sri Lanka.
Yeah. Sorry.
- Please come. - Okay.
Can't you behave properly at least when we come out?
Please come.
When you were late, I realized you must be stuck in some block.
I don't have the habit of following up.
Then he said we should try calling you.
That's why I called.
- That was good. - Please come.
Hey! What are you thinking about?
Move.
Sudha, ask them to bring tea.
- Chechi, bring it. - Coming.
So Vijay...
You're done with engineering.
Okay...
And you said that you're not working now.
So, tell me Vijay.
What's your goal?
What's your aim?
To start something of my own...
- Like.. - Business?
Business!
Good! Good!
If you have the caliber, starting something on your own is a very good idea.
Oh sorry! I forgot to introduce.
This is my cousin and his wife.
- Namaste. - We are basically from Adoor.
What about your wife?
We are separated.
I don't like hiding anything.
I've been frank about everything.
Have it.
If they have to ask or talk anything,
let them have some privacy.
Oh no! Is that necessary?
Is that necessary? That's the most important thing.
Go and get to know each other.
Go, Sonam.
Go, dude.
Don't enter the room. Go to the balcony and talk.
Yes! Yes!
What's the confusion?
Go ahead!
Your fly is undone.
Sorry?
Zip.
Sorry.
What is it?
- Nothing. - No! There is something.
- Nothing, right? - Then why did you say sorry?
What is this, Surya? Is this how I have raised you?
When you say sorry to elders, shouldn't you touch their feet?
What for?
Go! Touch uncle's feet.
Mom, please.
- What's the need for all that? - Yes.
We have raised him in a very traditional way.
He said sorry because he did something wrong.
Don't waste time.
Go ahead, son. Touch uncle's feet.
What's happening?
Why should he touch my feet now?
Even though we didn't see it, I understood that he did something wrong.
Go, son. Touch uncle's feet.
- Did you forget what I taught you? - Sorry.
Tell him!
Hey! Your mother is mad. Do it fast.
Go ahead, son.
- This is totally unnecessary. - Then what!
Hi.
Sorry uncle.
Oh my dear Lord!
It's all right.
I can manage.
All is well.
What are you thinking?
To smoke a cigarette...
Huh?
To smoke a cigarette...
- When I'm tensed.. - Okay. One second.
Hey!
- That's okay. - No, no! That's fine.
I believe in astrology.
I think it's a science.
That's why I asked for the horoscope and photo initially itself.
It's an 8 on 10 match.
It's really good.
It's not the financial background...
Progressive attitude, energetic...
educated...
And a boy who has great lineage.
That's what we were looking for.
If so, he's a good option, uncle.
We're not saying this because he's our friend.
Our parents ask us to learn from him always.
- Oh, is it? - Yeah
Oh no!
Don't take that seriously.
They are saying that because they are his friends.
He has no quality that can be called extraordinary.
Just an average...
- I like your frankness. - Thank you.
My daughter is a little weak in studies.
She hasn't completed her post graduation.
But she's continuing her studies privately now.
It will be over in four months.
We can think about the marriage, after that...
Well...But if they like each other.
Hey!
Uncle is awesome huh?
Daddy doesn't smoke.
Then?
One more thing.
I'm being very frank.
You didn't ask. That's your decency.
Everything that's mine, belongs to my daughter.
By everything I mean, everything!
We had never thought about it.
What's there in all that?
We just need your daughter alone.
By the way...
this property where this house is standing, how many cents would it be?
Around 50 cents.
What's there in all that, right?
- They are back. - Phew.
Yes! Come, come!
Sit down.
What can you know about each other in 5 minutes, right?
It's just the time to smoke a cigarette, right?
So...
I'll tell you a plan.
Let Vijay and Sonam go for a lunch together.
It can be after 3-4 days.
Then they would be able to talk much more in detail, and get to know each other.
What do you say?
That's a good thing. Nice.
Then, shall we wind up for today?
Okay! So be it.
Let's leave then.
- Okay. Nice meeting. - Same here.
See you again soon.
- See you, young man! - Sure.
So, what do you do?
Actually we are music directors from India, Kochi, Palluruthy, Veli..
Interesting.
So do you do ad film jingles?
Of course! Popy umbrellas, Johns umbrellas, Scooby Day, Nirapara, Dhathri, etc, etc...
Oh! That's nice.
Just a minute.
What is this?
This...
This is a product marketed by my company to get rid of ringworm infections on the foot.
Shylac. Can you make a tune for this?
Why not! Of course! Simple.
- Fine. - Shylac. Nice name.
Well, aren't you coming?
We're just making the time little more productive.
3172.
Yes, 3 dozen. Send it today itself.
Dad...
Do you have the address of those who came with the wrong address?
Satheesh, one minute. Those who came with the wrong address?
Do you have their address?
They came to the wrong address, right? Then how can I have theirs?
- Do you have it or not? - Is it urgent? I'll search for it.
- Would be great if I get it. - What's the matter?
- That's there! - Hey!
Can't you go in an auto? Why should you go out in the hot sun?
Hey! Helmet.
Those who ride two wheelers should wear helmets compulsorily.
Very funny! Bye!
'Oh my Yesudas'
Yeah! Correct.
"Apply Shylac to get rid of ringworm infections"
"To get rid of the infection completely, Shylac is on my leg"
"Shylac is on my leg, Shylac is always with me"
"Oh dear Stephen Devassy"
We don't need this.
Isn't this Mowgly's song?
Get lost! This is my original track.
Bullshit.
Mr. Vijay, aren't you hearing all this?
It's a tune he's making for your future father in law.
Didn't he find any other product to market?
Medicine to get rid of infection?
- What? - No. Ringworm infection.
It needs to be cured, right?
Well...
you sit here and make music.
I'll go and make some gruel. Okay?
Vijay, what are you thinking about? It's been a long time.
Dude... She...
Dude, it became all right when I changed the tempo. 4 by 4.
Get lost!
Just a minute.
Yes, dad.
Oh! Family drama.
I'll go right away.
Okay dad.
Long time, sir.
- Isn't uncle here? - Yes. Go!
- Uncle... - Oh! You?
Dad said he tried to reach you a lot on the phone.
- He couldn't get you. - So?
I didn't pick up because I was busy!
I'll call back when I please.
That's the routine, right?
You owe quite a lot of money to dad, right?
Dad keeps calling to say that he needs to do a lot of things after getting that.
So you've come to teach me justice?
Is there any proof that I owe him money?
Uncle, I haven't come for an argument.
After dad's accident, the situation at home is quite terrible.
You know without me saying, right?
80 Lakhs is worth more than Crores to us.
After losing money because of his foolishness,
where can I pay up from?
We did business together for 5-6 years.
That's all.
That's why I am talking so decently now.
Tell your dad that I said so.
If you want, get some 5000 or 10,000.
But don't make it a habit.
Don't you know that he's a monster, sir?
He wakes up in the morning thinking about whom to cheat next.
I had asked my dad this morning, if he had your address.
I think I have a plan.
Didn't you ask that day whether we had any common factors between us?
There is.
What both of us need, is cash.
My food truck business that was stopped temporarily?
Shall we get it started again?
If Vijay looks after the food section, we can roll up this business.
What do you think?
That won't be right.
That alliance is almost okay.
Where we went from there...
With them.
Did you like each other?
It's almost okay for the families.
But they are not the ones who have to live together.
That girl's father also has some big business.
Even after knowing our current financial status,
they are ready to proceed.
So to support your family, a marriage eyeing at the money in the girl's family.
Right?
Very sad.
You would have understood that things are not that smooth at my house,
from what you heard today, right?
I'm meeting them again tomorrow.
For lunch.
You have a great talent.
Can't you use that to make money?
Instead, it's quite cheap to get married taking dowry.
Hey!
Some people...
Some people work to make a living.
Some people think work is their life.
There are some others.
People who don't do any work.
People for whom, nothing works out.
I belong to that category.
Nothing is okay around me.
Mobile!
This is my number.
If you have a change of heart about the food truck, let me know.
Hey! It's because you don't feel okay inside, that nothing feels okay around you.
Hey Vijay!
- You? You work here now? - Yeah.
- That's nice. - Are you alone?
- No. A small meeting. - Is it?
- Okay. Carry on. - I'll be here.
Hi.
Has it been long since you came?
Around 10 minutes?
Sorry.
Shall I use the washroom and come?
(Song from 'Thenkasipattanam')
- Sorry! - Dude!
I am sorry.
Can't you be a little more careful?
I'm sorry, Vijay.
One minute.
How do you know my name?
I know it.
What the hell!
Download these references.
By then, I'll reach there.
This is not drying.
Hey...hey!
Sir!
Sir...Uncle, you were also here?
There was a distributors' meeting upstairs.
That's why I fixed this here.
Why? Did you think that she would come alone?
Yes. No...I mean...
No. Anyway, I could meet you also, right?
I think Sonam in some kind of tension.
She has been on the phone ever since I came.
She has several friends.
So she is always engaged in WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook...
All of them are in their extremes for her.
Who is 100% perfect, VIjay?
Yes, sir. Very true.
So I am a little conscious about fixing a partner for her.
My wish is to have a son in law who will join my business and support me.
She had received so many proposals.
From families established in business.
But, I don't want it that way.
I think you got me.
If I say it in a typical Malayali's language,
Consider that I'm scared whether they would completely loot whatever I've made so far.
So tell me.
How can you support me in my business?
Or...
what previous experience do you have in business, Vijay?
Sir, business...
My friend and I are doing a business together.
Food truck.
Restaurant on wheels, with good food & good music?
What is the USP?
USP...
Dine with music.
So, good food. Good music.
Good idea. What do you say?
Please don't involve me in this, dad.
So what's the turnover like every month?
- Not the profit.. - Turnover, sir...
We are just...
We are just going to start the business.
- It hasn't started yet? - No, sir.
We're like, just about to start.
Everything is getting ready.
Okay.
Let it start.
I'll watch the growth.
And let's plan the wedding accordingly.
- Okay? - Yeah.
Shall we eat now?
I'm really starving.
You want to start with the soup?
He can't be blamed.
Any dad would wish that the guy who's marrying his daughter,
should be smart enough.
During the Mahabharata war,
seeing his own uncle Bheeshma on the opposite side,
when Arjun was feeling helpless,
what did Krishna tell him then?
You can't be confused in war.
If you have decided to shoot an arrow, you have to shoot it that very second.
What does that mean?
It's not to chop off your own uncle's head.
If you take a decision,
you should not delay its execution even by a second.
Hey! You go and meet that Pournami anyway.
And tell her that you agree to do business with her.
No, Bhaiyya. The salary you're asking for, is too much.
No, Madam. We've quoted a really low amount.
Please do something from your side.
Please madam.
I'll tell you in two days.
Okay Madam.
Wow! You've brought great luck.
I just appointed a chef.
- Appointed? - Yes.
Then why did you ask me to come when I called?
Just like that.
Nothing is okay for you...
You're not interested in anything around you...
And didn't you say that you're going to run your father in law's business, right?
And what happened now?
I called you here to ask that.
You invited me here to insult me?
Hello!
What you need the most to do business, is patience.
Do you know that?
I'll take care of the marketing to take the business forward.
The maintenance of the food truck,
purchase,
cooking related stuff,
can you do all that?
If so,
we should start the work tomorrow morning at sharp 9 AM.
Call those music directors as well.
You don't have any other friends to help you, right?
"Isn't Pournami superb, dude?"
"Isn't she beautiful, dude?"
"When she freaks out, isn't she happy?"
"Isn't she okay to let you join her?"
Okay!
"She's a slice of heaven that fell down like good times, opening the window of dreams"
"Sitting next to you, she studied your horoscope and tested your worth in Gold"
- Why are you late? - We became slightly late.
Won't you go before 9 PM to stand in the queue at the liquor store?
Won't you go before the movie starts, when you go for a movie?
Then what's the problem when you come for work alone?
- That's correct. - We were late to wake up.
Be on time.
Work is worship.
Workshop?
She didn't say that. 'Work is worship'.
Start!
"Isn't Pournami superb, dude?"
"Isn't she beautiful, dude?"
"When she freaks out, isn't she happy?"
"Isn't she okay to let you join her?"
"She's a slice of heaven that fell down like good times, opening the window of dreams"
"Sitting next to you, she studied your horoscope and tested your worth in Gold"
Hey! I had an interview in a radio channel today.
And?
- I might get it mostly. - My God! Congrats!
- You should have the heart to do any job. - I have that.
You should read at least the newspaper daily.
I will.
Do you read the newspaper and all?
Who is the President of India?
Mahatma Gandhi.
That's the Father of the Nation.
Have you heard of Ramnath Kovind?
No.
Read! Read!
"So many desires are coming here, flying"
"They are celebrating with song and dance"
"The feathers of dreams are dancing in abandon"
"They are flying high, in the midst of these celebrations"
"Some things are working out"
"All the curses are going away"
"Leaning on the doorstep"
"The spring season is singing"
"She came like a breeze, stroked you and sharpened you"
"She did all the tinkering and polishing work, and made you superb"
- Hey! Move! - Move and watch this.
I had already given it to a catering company.
But she was adamant that we should give the first job,
when her best friend is starting a business.
That's why...
Actually, we didn't have catering plans.
Yes. So along with the first business, we've given you a new plan as well.
So that's all. I trust you.
Thanks.
Impress everyone with delicious food.
- Sure, uncle. We will. - Okay.
- Uncle, please drop me to the library. - Why not?
- Hey! - Uncle, this is Vijay. Pinky's partner.
This is my uncle. - Hi gentleman! See you tomorrow.
- Tomorrow? - Okay?
See you tomorrow!
Tomorrow?
Who's that gentleman?
We got our first order even before our official launch.
It's a catering job.
Consider it a trial.
Let it be an experience.
Catering is not part of our plan, right?
Who knows what's going to succeed?
It came to us, right?
He's a big event manager.
But the food should reach there at 11 AM tomorrow.
But if it's tomorrow, what about the menu?
There's no menu.
There's a main catering company for that.
We've got the order only for the starters.
So don't take a risk.
Just order it from some good hotel and take it there.
I will be there.
Don't forget to fill diesel in the van.
Everything should be perfect.
Still...Why should we order from a hotel?
I can cook it!
- Just starters, right? - Vijay!
There's not even 24 hours left for the event.
Why do we need unnecessary tension?
Let's study how to serve it elegantly first.
Okay.
Stand up.
Stand up!
Seventy Five Thousand.
Will there be a margin?
Around 20,000?
Let's start with starters!
That's a good one.
So let me go and start the planning.
See you!
This is the first ball of the innings.
On the crease, is India's very own, Roshan!
Hit it, dude!
All of you watch this
- I'm not out! - You know why this man is called...
Genius of cricket
It was a trial ball. Leave me.
If it was a trial ball, why did you hit it with so much force?
That's because I didn't touch the ball. If I had, it would have gone there.
Have you seen Dhoni playing trial balls?
Or Kohli?
We don't play around daily like Dhoni and Kohli.
We are music directors. We make music!
- Go and bowl! - Idiot!
- Throw! - Throw!
- Let all three stumps fly! - Throw the ball.
Here you go! First ball again.
Look!
- The first advance. - Good.
I need a help. Come.
No helping. Let me play.
So you're not having the beers I bought?
Oh! It's all about temptation!
Fool!
Can you believe this?
- Can you believe this? - You will come back here, right?
Give our ball and go!
Pinky!
- Come fast. - What happened?
Come fast.
- What? - Chechi is not listening to me.
Chechi, what are you doing?
Shut up and go!
Mom will wake up.
Chechi, this is not right.
I can pay the EMI for two months with this.
Chechi, she's an old woman.
Yes. That's it. Why does an old woman need gold?
I'm in dire need of money.
Chechi, please. Don't take it.
You don't interfere in the things here.
- Chechi... - Leave me.
Why does a person on deathbed, need chains and bangles?
After everyone becomes happy after having the food,
all of them would come and appreciate Pinky.
Then they will say...
Pinky, the starters were so amazing. So extraordinary!
Then you will say...
Shall I tell you a truth? I didn't order this from anywhere.
I cooked it myself taking a lot of effort, right?
Then she would say...
Oh my God, Vijay! You are so sweet, and so beautiful, and an amazing chef!
- Right? - Correct.
Hey!
Until I make this whole thing and pack it,
don't tell me that you want to sleep.
Understood?
Come on! Take this.
- No! - Have it.
I don't want it.
- Drink it. - No, dude.
Have a little. Only then you'll get a kick to make all this.
Shall I tell you a truth then?
I've stopped boozing for the time being.
Sheesh!
- Sheesh! - What is this?
Dude, until things get settled at home,
if I don't become serious, I might end up in a lot of trouble.
This is her.
It's Pinky.
Give it.
Yes, Pinky.
I've sent the location map for tomorrow on WhatsApp.
I got it.
I know that place.
Which hotel have you given the order to?
Hotel...
Hotel Casilo.
Oops! Isn't that quite expensive?
That's okay. I can manage.
Then it's okay. Fine.
See you tomorrow then.
Go to sleep fast. And pray before leaving in the morning.
It's our first venture.
All right!
Okay. Bye.
- Good night. - Good night.
(chanting prayers to Lord Vishnu/Krishna)
Oh Lord Krishna!
The customer you trying to call is currently not reachable
Yes, Pinky.
I've been trying for quite some time now.
It kept saying not reachable.
- Not reachable? - Yes.
You could have called me when you woke up.
Since I was busy with getting everything ready,
It's okay. Everything is ready, right? Where have you reached?
I have just left.
No. I am leaving.
Didn't you leave yet?
There's one more hour, right? I'll reach soon.
Look, there will be a lot of traffic.
If you don't start now, we might not able to take it there at the right time.
Don't be tensed!
As soon as I leave from here, I'll reach there.
We're serving starters.
We can't be late even by five minutes.
No! No! We won't be late.
I know.
Dude, get up.
Help me out, man!
Dude, there are only 20 boxes. Help me with them.
- Hi Pinky. Good morning. - Hello. Good morning.
- Everything is ready, right? - All set.
Once the baptism starts inside, then it would take only 15 minutes.
We should serve starters at sharp 11 AM.
Uncle, trust me.
Everything will be perfect.
And Pinky,
if you do this event well,
I'll be giving 4-5 more events to you.
- Thank you so much. - Hari, just one second.
- Be here. - Okay.
Hey, Pinky! Where? Have the starters reached?
It's very close by.
- Don't worry. - Okay.
- Pinky! - Vijay!
Don't make me tensed like this.
Where have you reached? How much time will you take exactly?
Pinky, I'll reach there in 15 minutes.
Oh my God!
Which route have you taken?
Pinky, I...
I am driving.
There's a lot of traffic. I'll call you back.
Vijay, why are you always late?
Okay! Okay! I'll see you there.
There's a vehicle. Stop!
Come on!
Just a minute.
Chetta, the child...
Please move.
Open the door.
Please move.
Sir, a car hit him and went without stopping.
Let's take him to the hospital quickly.
He's not talking. Please, make it fast.
Go! Go!
- What the hell are you doing, man? - They got stuck in the block.
Is this how you do a programme?
Everything will be here in 5 minutes.
Why are you so irresponsible?
Is there any hospital nearby?
Just 2 kilometres from here. It's close by.
It's been a while since you've been saying that he'll reach now,
5 minutes, he is right here and all that!
You're going to repeat that again, right?
No, no! This area. Very close. Just 5 minutes.
I deserve this.
I deserve it!
I'll never trust you, Pinky.
Chetta, please drive fast.
- Chetta, I needn't get down, right? - You should.
We don't have any cash.
Come...come Get down
- Take him fast. - Where is the casualty?
- Hello! - Hey! You spoilt everything!
- Hello Madam! - Huh?
Madam, I got this mobile from the floor.
- It's a hospital. - Where is Vijay?
When you took that boy inside, this phone fell down.
Someone wants to speak to you.
- Hello! - Move the vehicle.
If you don't reach here within a minute, we'll lose this event.
Pinky, listen to me.
You don't have to say anything more.
- Can't you hear that car honking? - Just listen to me.
- Why are you always late like this? - Excuse me.
Uncle..
You needn't stay here anymore. You may leave.
I heard quite a mouthful from them.
Uncle, I beg of you.
I don't want to put you in a problem.
Aren't you ashamed?
I thought you had some integrity.
Don't stay here anymore. Didn't I tell you?
I'll manage.
Now, this is my ego.
You can go.
I won't give business to anyone I know hereafter.
Bullshit.
Hey Pinky! I'm sorry.
I'll get everything ready in 5 minutes.
Start the vehicle.
Wait! Wait!
What?
Can you come and start the vehicle?
- What? - Let's leave from here.
Start the vehicle.
So shouldn't we take these out?
- No. - Why?
I'll set everything up in 5 minutes.
Please. Start the vehicle.
- Pinky... - Please!
- Pinky, I... - Why are you irritating me?
After spoiling everything...
If the one who's hearing makes up her mind that it's a lie,
one can't convince even if it's a big truth.
The mistake is mine!
The mistake is indeed yours.
No one is saying otherwise.
What?
You didn't fill diesel, right?
So you decided to spoil everything.
Even after failing in 2 businesses, I ventured into a 3rd one,
to answer the questions of many people.
To show them that life is not about hiding in fear, when faced with failure.
Pinky...
What's the point sitting in that now?
Pinky!
Pinky...
Even if you keep shouting 'Vijay Super' at the top of your voice,
you won't be super.
To become super,
you need a big D within you. Discipline.
Pinky, I got stuck on the way here.
- Should I not stop after seeing an accident? - You should have left early.
What would have gone wrong if you had started half an hour early?
Now you would say that the hotel was late in giving the starters, right?
Okay.
Where's the bill?
Where's the bill from the hotel where you bought this?
If we return the stuff in the vehicle, I can at least get 25% of the cash back.
With that, I can settle uncle's account today itself.
Give me the bill.
Where is the bill?
These are not from a hotel.
Then?
Pinky...
I made all this last night, without sleeping.
Have you given any value to what I said?
It's not that, Pinky...
If there's any money left, fill diesel and bring the vehicle there.
That's the last job for you.
- Hey! Give me the phone. - Venu Etta...
Look who's here.
Hey Govindan!
How come you're here all of a sudden?
It was her cousin's daughter's engagement at Thripunithura yesterday.
We came for that.
Please sit.
- I forgot your name... - This is Vishal.
He is working in in an Indo-American company in Delhi.
And now he has got a very good job offer from a similar company in Australia.
Both of us are determined that we should find a nice girl for him,
and get them married, before sending him away.
Well, where's the daughter of this house? Pournami?
She is upstairs. I'll call her now.
Pinky, dear...
Who is it?
It's daddy.
Hello dear. Where are you?
I had sent you a message, right?
I came to the parlour with Shreya.
Okay, okay. Come fast.
- I don't feel too well. - What happened?
Come soon.
Just half an hour. I'll be right there.
- Okay? - You're leaving now?
Yes. Daddy is not feeling well.
Okay.
I'll text you?
Bye.
Hey! Did you think I won't know anything?
Please!
Don't create a scene here.
- Who are you trying to fool? - Consider it a blunder.
- Blunder? Is this a blunder? - Listen to me.
We'll convince her.
Shucks.
- Okay then. - Bye Radha.
- We'll come again next week. - Okay.
My grandmother.
- Venugopalan? - Menon.
Shucks!
- Pinky! - Yes!
Please sit.
Dear...
Ever since his grandfather died,
I don't usually go to any houses or functions.
But when I saw him being all sad and gloomy,
I felt that,
I should come along with him and see her.
Hey!
Give it to her.
Here.
I've filled up the diesel tank.
Here's the money.
If I send him alone,
he'll just give that money and key, and leave without saying anything.
And he doesn't have the smartness to win an argument with anyone.
I understood that it was a match-making party who just left from here.
He told me...
that she's not at all interested in getting married now.
Grandma...
As far as I've heard,
she has quite a lot of dreams.
At least sensible people like you should be able to understand that,
she would tell you when it's time to get married.
It's not in getting them married like finishing off a duty,
but in understanding what's in their mind very well,
and giving their hand to someone, that you should see greatness.
So...
there's this ritual called divorce that happens soon after marriage, right?
That will not happen at all.
And one thing to you, dear...
He also did what anyone with a little compassion would do.
If you start judging each other,
you would lose this affection between yourselves.
It's like that.
- Shall we leave? - Yes.
I'll get you tea.
There's still time for all that.
You will always be blessed, dear.
- Bye then. - Bye.

Didn't you fill petrol in this?
I did, for 50 Rupees.
Who is it?
It's from home.
Enough, dear. Now you also take a seat & eat.
Did you like it, mom?
It's amazing, dear.
Very tasty.
What's that continental smell?
Wow!
What timing, aunty!
Grandma!
Did you smell the food from afar?
Where are you even coming from?
Easy, grandma!
Why didn't you pick up my call?
I was coming here.
Hey! She made it herself and brought it.
It's really tasty. You sit there.
I don't want it.
Sit there, I say.
Sit and eat.
Uncle, you didn't say anything.
- Here, mom. - Dear...
it's been really long since I had such tasty food.
Did you make this by seeing it in some cookery show?
It's from a cookery show..
I made it looking at a chef's video which has only 1500 views on YouTube.
Failed chef, right?
- Mom! - Failed for the time being.
But in a few months, things would change drastically.
Uncle...
The business that Vijay and I are doing together,
I am thinking about restarting it soon, on a good date.
We need your blessings, uncle.
You will always have my blessings.
But that alone is not enough.
The excitement, dedication and determination that you're showing now,
should always be there.
Got it?
Eat, all of you.
Hey!
If you pay money, you can get other chefs from Bombay or Bengal.
They are better to fire and call back at your convenience.
Leave me alone.
Food truck is our baby.
I cannot leave it just like that.
And you are my last ray of hope.
It's my mistake.
I am sorry.

Hey! Vijay! Vijay!
Look! Look at this!
- Chitra Chechi (singer) has messaged us. - Who?
Wow!
- Manu, look around! An E Class. - Whose is it?
- Whose car is it? - Who knows?
All of you are here, huh?
Your business is rocking, right?
Am I right?
Pournami?
That's your name, right?
I saw you both on the news.
- Very happy. - Thank you.
I didn't know that I would see you today, dear.
Everyone is here now, right?
All of them know that I am a very frank person.
Still, let me ask since I saw you...
No formalities, sir. Please ask.
Can you give us your share?
Business is an addiction for me.
However much your investment was,
I'll pay you thrice that amount.
Vijay is my future son in law.
If I don't invest in his business,
then who will?
What say?
I haven't thought about it, sir.
Think about it and tell me.
I don't have the habit of hiding anything.
That's why I asked.
So...
Next Sunday.
It's the pre-engagement party, between my daughter and him.
It's not such a huge party.
Maximum 10-15 people. That's all.
You should definitely come, dear.
No excuses.
Sir...
Pre-engagement party?
I wasn't told about this!
I came here to tell you about that.
And to give this cheque.
Here. Keep this.
What is this for?
I know that you have a lot of needs now, Chandran.
The value of cash increases, when it comes of help during emergencies!
Come, Chandran. Show me around this place.
Come!
Grandma...
I'm leaving then.
Sit, dear...
It's not that. I need to go to a couple of other places.
Hey! Pinky!
Pinky!
Just because he said something...
It's okay.
Pinky, I didn't know...
What is it?
I'm sorry.
Anything else?
From my family's side,
I had a lot of pressure.
Dad...
I couldn't say no to a proposal dad had given his word for.
But...
Somehow...
- That didn't happen. - Oh!
Then you remembered me suddenly?
It's not that.
I thought about calling you several times.
But I didn't have the courage for that.
Later...
I saw the news of your business on Facebook.
Then I wanted to come and meet you.
To...
I just felt like appreciating you in person.
Done?
Then leave.
- Don't get late. - Pinky...
You're lucky that we're in front of my house.
Or else, I would have slapped you hard on your face!
You know for what?
The courage you showed while proposing?
For not showing that while breaking up!
Why are you looking so gloomy?
Eat this.
I'll eat it.
Dear...
Dad's friend and family came that day to see you, right?
As far as we enquired, that boy is good.
Good character.
And he's in Australia.
That's a major attraction.
To them...
What should we tell them, dear?
Your choice.
I said no to them.
Don't stare!
I'm serious.
You should be living your life.
If you had liked that proposal, you would have told that to us that day itself.
When daughters grow up,
parent's hearts will be on fire.
As they are of marriage-able age, it would just flare up!
It's not out of the anxiety whether she would get a boy...
with a good character, job and lineage.
When we think that the child we brought up like this, has to be sent to another house,
When we realize that she's not going to be ours alone hereafter...
You just need a ticket alone, to go to Australia, right?
Your intuitions won't go wrong.
Mom won't force you for anything hereafter, dear.
Your decisions...
will be the decisions of all three of us from now on.
I'm joining the radio channel officially on Sunday.
Evening show live.
I need a treat for that!
This treat is for that.
Order anything you want.
On Sunday, both of you should be on my show.
On radio?
Why are you talking as if you're hearing this for the first time?
Didn't I tell you earlier itself?
I called you both here to discuss about that.
The name of the show is 'True Stories'.
Pooja, no way!
- No way! - Just 10 minutes.
You need not come to the studio even.
You just have to talk over the phone.
It's his engagement on Sunday, right?
That too, in the evening.
I know.. But Vijay...
Is there any way?
I had already told them. Please!
Hey! You don't have to say please.
If Pinky is okay,
I am also okay.
Now you don't say no.
Okay?
I'll go order something special.
Pinky, we didn't open the food truck even yesterday.
The regular customers would be...
Your father in law has quoted a price for my share, right?
Are you serious?
Wasn't he serious?
- If so? - I'll sell it.
- No regrets? - Why?
It's just a food truck, right?
Uncle had called me yesterday.
Asking whether I got any reply from you.
But I didn't call you because...
Why didn't you call me?
His plan is to buy other bigger vehicles and re brand the whole thing.
So what about this food truck?
He might sell it.
Or else...
He might make it an ambulance.
- Or else, he might get it crushed! - Get it crushed?
It's just a food truck, right?
Naresh had come.
So you have to say a lot of things to me.
Do you say everything to me?
Had you told me about your engagement?
Pinky, it's just a pre-engagement party.
I didn't know about that.
I also heard about it for the first time, when you heard it.
And why should I hide from you?
He came and said sorry to me.
Isn't he ashamed?
He is better than you anyway.
At least he is showing his emotions outside.
Don't compare me with him.
- Okay? - I don't feel any difference.
Even after saying something from my heart,
why is it so difficult for you to believe it?
My intention is not an argument.
Then?
I just wanted to meet you once, and say a bye cleanly.
We met each other drinking a coffee,
and now let's go our separate ways, the same way.
I just have one thing to tell you.
Don't become your father in law's puppet.
Find your own space.
"Going away like a day"
"Disappearing like a night"
Where is Pinky?
She left.
"The words which never sprouted, are departing"
"Staying away"
"Coming closer"
"All that has become a story"
"We met each other, just to drift apart from each other"
"As a memory of a shadow"
"There are a thousand stories left in the heart, to tell you"
Namaste.
Come inside.
Please sit. Come.
Hello Vijay!
Why are you standing here, all gloomy?
- Hey! I was just.. - You are the hero of the day!
Were you thinking that you lost the business for the day?
No, uncle.
Say yes. I'll be happy to hear that.
- Have a drink. - Vijay!
Vijay, it's time for that radio interview...
I have a radio interview, uncle.
- Is there any room with privacy upstairs? - Oh yeah. Chandran told me.
Go right upstairs. First door on the left.
There's no one there. Go ahead.
- Okay. Best of luck. - Shall I go?
Escaped! Or else, he'll keep bragging.
Hello!
You guys!
Do you do only music, or anything else?
No. We do write a bit.
We're writing a novel.
- Novel? Oh my God! - Yeah.
What's the name of the novel?
A terrorist inside a jetty!
Excuse me. What?
A terrorist inside a jetty!
Actually, it's the story of a boat jetty being attacked by a terrorist.
It's a terrorist attack.
Yes.
Okay. What's the status of my music?
We're making it. We'll give it.
Make it!
We will make it.
- Okay sir. - Cheers!
Novel, it seems!
Idiots!
Sit here, Hariettan.
Didn't you recognize Hariettan?
- No. - He's a family friend of ours.
He's a major businessman.
He owns four elephants!
Haven't you heard of 'Aana' (Elephant) Hari?
No. I've heard of Haryana!
Aren't you ready yet?
Everyone is asking for her.
She's getting her make-up done, getting ready, will be ready now...
There's a limit in managing saying all that.
It's okay.
- You go downstairs. - Okay.
I'll take care of it.
Hey!
You can't be upset like this anymore.
Come on! You're the centre of attraction!
Daddy, I told you so many times.
If I'm going to have a married life,
it will be with someone I love!
Don't make me raise my voice.
Come on! Get ready! Come.
- Where is she? Didn't see her yet. - She is getting ready.
- Let's sit downstairs. - Come. Let's sit downstairs.
When he came to see me, and when I met him at the restaurant,
I told you many times, don't put this poor guy in trouble!
I played along for all this only because of your threat that you'll commit suicide.
Now I must move practically.
Salman loves me.
That's enough for me.
I very well know that this pre-engagement drama is to influence me.
Pre-engagement!
Yeah right! As if we're living in America!
And so many buffoons to come running as soon as they are invited.
- Enough! - Daddy, my matter..
Enough!
Shucks!
Vijay is an amazing guy.
He is going to be a very successful businessman.
You can do business with him then, Daddy!
Why should you compromise my life for that?
Dear...Is your father inside?
Oh! Chandran?
What was that noise I heard?
What noise?
We didn't hear anything.
Is there any problem?
Any other issue or grievance?
That happiness that's usually there on your face is missing.
That's why I asked.
See Chandran, you should be having a drink.
My only confusion is that why you haven't taken it yet.
You said that frankly, right?
Of course.
- Hello Pooja? - Hello?
Hi. You're ready, right?
- Yes, I'm ready. - I know you're busy.
I'll finish it off quickly in ten minutes.
No. That's okay.
Just a minute.
I'm adding her also on the conference call.
Okay.
I don't want to insult you, Dad.
I'll come downstairs.
Just to save your face.
But, from tomorrow...
don't force me for this alliance.
Just 10 minutes and we'll finish everything quickly, okay?
Hey! Hey! Don't overdo it.
- Take your own time. - Okay. I'm going to switch over.
Four...
Three...
Two... One.
Namaste. You're listening to 'True Stories'.
And this is RJ Pooja.
In today's 'True Stories', two people are here to share their true stories with us.
Vijay Super and Pournami.
The amusement when your hear these names, is there in their lives as well.
They met through a match-making ceremony,
then went their own ways,
then they met again,
and today, they are the entrepreneurs of the restaurant on wheels,
'Good food, Good music', known to all the foodies in Kochi.
First you tell me, Vijay...
Your made Pinky, whom you went to see for an alliance at a wrong address,
your business partner.
And you're going to make another girl your life partner now.
Did you find that girl on your own or...
I mean... Was it love? Or did your parents find her for you?
Hello? I'm asking you, Vijay.
Tell me.
Hello Pooja...
Yes, tell me.
If Vijay has to do something, he needs to ask so many people.
He's the type who is very scared to take a decision on his own.
How did you make a person with so much fear, your business partner, Pinky?
What do you feel, Vijay?
Hello Vijay?
- I can hear you. - Don't just hear me. Open up!
This is 'True Stories'.
You can say anything that's true.
What Pinky said is correct.
Pinky is not afraid of anything.
Pinky...
Pinky is not scared about how to impress her parents...
Pinky is not scared whether someone would hurt her emotions...
If she is asked to dress up for a match-making ceremony,
she's not at all scared of that too.
But I am really the opposite of that.
I...
I can't take up any kind of tension!
When I went to meet her that day...
the first thing Pinky told me was that,
we're not at all a good match.
When that door got locked there,
and I sat there and talked to Pinky for a long time, I realized...
that people like me, who had no vision or ambition in life, are just big zeroes!
Despite chanting that 'Vijay is super' like a prayer always,
I'm someone who could never be super.
Still...
I am doing a business today...
Pooja is taking an interview of mine, sitting at a radio station.
The reason for all that...
I'm sure about one thing.
If Pinky goes back,
within very few days,
I'll become that old Vijay.
What's that confusion within you?
Okay. One second.
Someone here is not saying anything.
- Pinky, are you there? - Yeah, Pooja. Tell me.
Okay, Pinky. Tell me.
To someone who's come to see you for an alliance,
the first thing you say is 'We're not a good match', or what?
I always follow my heart.
It's true that I said so.
But when he left that room that day,
it wasn't like that in my mind.
Certain things would be new information for you, Vijay.
Anyway, let's listen to a super hit melody now.
After that, Pinky's Australian travel dreams...
Vijay's engagement news...
Then you would both go your own separate ways.
Both of you have exactly one minute.
You can say anything that's special.
Anyone can start.
Come on!
Hello?
We don't have time.
Give it to me.
- Hello? - Dad...
Hello?
Why aren't you saying anything?
- Hello. - Hello?
I am Chandramohan.
Vijay's father.
Can I talk for a minute?
Of course, Uncle. Tell me.
I want to talk to Pinky.
Are you listening, dear?
- Uncle. - Dear...
You are a very bold girl.
You have efficiency and smartness.
Vijay is not like that.
Considering that,
like you told him...
you both are not at all a good match.
But..
have you noticed one thing, dear?
When we look from outside,
those who don't seem to be good matches,
have achieved the most success in life.
Marriage life is like people who don't know to make coffee, trying to make it.
Sometimes the bitterness might become too much.
Sometimes, it might become too less too.
But one day...
one day, the measure will be just perfect.
Once you understand that perfect measure,
it will be very easy to live.
It was two people who conquered Mount Everest for the first time.
But, until they died...
they never revealed one truth.
Who was the first one who set foot on Everest, among the two of them.
That's what partnership should be all about.
I barged in, grabbed the phone from him, and said so much to you...
because of my selfishness.
If you leave one fine day, leaving everything to him,
when I heard him say that he would become the old Vijay again...
I felt a heart-burn within me.
That's why...
I...
I am giving the phone to Vijay.
Thank you, Uncle.
For blessing the first episode of 'True Stories' with such good words.
Like someone had written somewhere,
'Stars are always in the sky'
'But we don't see them in the morning'
The debts we have to repay...
We can repay them, even by selling our house.
House is a place where we should be living happily with our family.
Or else, it's just a building.
Don't do anything, by sacrificing your happiness.
Now..
when a flood happened,
even though everyone struggled a lot,
didn't we overcome all that?
It's even more difficult,
to take certain crucial decisions at certain crucial moments in life.
Think about it, son.
Okay?
It's not late at all.
When uncle came to the programme unexpectedly,
said a lot of meaningful things, and handed over the phone,
it feels like you have left something to say, at the brim of whatever you said.
I think it's like this.
Too late is far better than never.
Am I right?
What do you say, Pinky and Vijay?
Hello?
Come on, speak up! This is 'True Stories'.
Come on!
Come on! You have to speak up.
Say it!
Come on, say it!
Okay then.
"As the ray of sunlight disappears"
"As the cool breeze covers you"
"As the ray of sunlight disappears"
"As the cool breeze covers you"
"As you go alone, on the path where darkness falls"
"To cure the pain of this throbbing night"
"Shining far away, there's a star that you embraced"
"On the lap of the heart, filled with tender leaves"
"Sleep, my little one"
"I shall caress your eyes with dreams"
"Sleep, my dear"
"On the lap of the heart, filled with tender leaves"
"Sleep, my little one"
"I shall caress your eyes with dreams"
"Sleep, my dear"
Hello!
Pass it, dude.
- Vijay! - Dude, come on!
Don't play alone.
Dude, over here.
Don't hit it to the water.
Look at this!
Try this, man!
Pass it!
Pass it, dude.
I heard everything.
Don't hit it outside.
I didn't think that we would meet so soon.
Hello!
- I am Naresh. - Oh!
She wouldn't have told you about me, right?
- Oh! No! - When you get time, just ask her.
Okay.
Pinky, I got married.
The girl...
is not as hep as you are.
She's quite traditional.
A sharp contrast to you.
But I am really happy.
She is better for me.
Come out.
I'll introduce you to someone.
'9207066221.'
'You should call me, okay?'
'If I get time, I'll call you back.'
Reshma?
Yes.
Why are you laughing?
Her?
Hey!
Congratulations.
Peace, bro!
Didn't I tell you? God is there, dude.
Even though she's traditional, she's okay, dude.
Why are you laughing?
