Save me, my Lord!
Excuse me.
Excuse me. - What?
Yes.
My name is Manu Varma. - Is it?
I got an appointment letter from this office.
C-Can you please tell me w-whom should I meet?
Are you a Malayali?
Yes, how did you understand that? - I got it from your English slang.
Whoa!
This is also in English. Why are you here?
I'm appointed as the executive assistant to the CMO. - Okay.
What? CMO's executive assistant? - Yes.
Sir, please come. - Did you call me 'sir'? - Yes.
Didn't I pronounce 'sir' correctly? I called you 'sir'. I'm sure.
Please come, sir.
Come..
What is your qualification?
I did B.tech in computer engineering, with distinction.
Oh, then why this job? - Ali.
Yes. - Who is this new guy?
He is a new recruit.
What's your name? - Manu Varma.
Oh, so you are a Malayali. Right? - No, he's a Punjabi!
Fool!
He passed computer engineering with first class.
Not first class. I got a distinction.
Don't be so truthful!
Say proudly that you got first class.
No.. Distinction is valued more. - Oh, is it?
Maybe it's a new grading system. l graduated in 1982.
Are you an Engineer? - No, I qualified 8th grade.
To which Department did you join? - Police Department.
No, Sales Department. - Oh.
It is our department. Which is your post?
CMO..
I joined as the executive assistant to the CMO.
Sir, come..
I have something to say.
So sad!
Why are they staring at me? - They might be jealous.
No.. Their eyes are filled with sympathy.
No, this is how jealous people stare in Mumbai!
Why are they jealous? - You are in the same department as theirs.
So what?
W-Won't they feel jealous when a new recruit
becomes the executive assistant to their Boss?
You'll be crowned after few hours! - What?
Don't you know? - How will l know, you say!
You are the company CMO's executive assistant.
That means you are going to be an important figure, here. - Oh.
All others will be your subordinates.
Oh, I am really happy.
l was afraid that this job might not suit me.
Don't be pessimistic.
It's not the position.. Hard work is the factor!
Only hard working people can survive. - Yes..
It was my dream to work in a company like this. - Good.
Won't I become permanent after one year probation?
No assurance. - Why?
As l told you, it depends on your hard work.
You'll have to bear the torture. - Torture?
I meant the problems!
You have to bear all the problems!
You should be ready to do any work.
That's not a problem.
I'll struggle to keep my job.
This job is a must for me. - Good!
l always waited for a warrior like you!
What? What happened? - Mister..
I have been noticing you for a while.
You sound too suspicious.. - No..
That's just your imagination.
You are tensed, aren't you?
To be frank, I was very tensed when I came here. - Oh.
But now I'm relaxed.
I grew up in a village. - Okay.
I studied in a local English-medium school.
So, I'm not fluent in English. - Oh.
I can read and write well.
But I am not very fluent while speaking.
I was a bit tensed about that. - Is it?
I am not stressed anymore as most of them here are Malayalis.
I'm sorry, Mr. Manu. You mistaken.
No.. You said it wrong. It's 'You are mistaken'.
Malayalis have such a criticising attitude. Idiots!
They won't talk fearing that they'll make a mistake.
But if someone else tries to speak, they are good at criticising.
Country of fellows!
You said it wrong again. It's 'Country fellows'.
The 'of' is not needed.
I'll say whatever I wish. Don't try to teach me.
Sorry. Just because I admire English..
So I was saying..
Since this company is managed by Malayalis
it is true that there is a priority for Malayalis.
But they give just six months to improve upon your English.
Those who doesn't improve will be fired at that instant.
Is my boss a Malayali? - Yes.
But as she did her education in Australia
she speaks fluent English, which may sound confusing.
Can't I adjust? - Don't worry.
If you can be flexible like rubber you can adjust.
Ali. - Yes.
She is here! - What?
My God!
Good morning, ma'am.
"Girls are shy.. But she's never.."
"She's a hot lady.. Sexy lady.."
"For daily hours.. She's never.. Sweetie.."
"Careful.. She's getting closer.."
Sorry, ma'am. - "Go.."
'Priya. S. Nair. CMO.'
CMO..
My God. Please help me! Oh. - Oh, no.
What happened? - Get lost, you..
Oh, no! Don't open it.
Oh, God! Ma'am.
Ali, what is this?
Ma'am, tea. - What?
I fell and it spilt on the floor. - Am I a dog, to lick the floor?
Do I look like a dog to you?
All of you are stupid, idiots, good for nothing donkeys.
Why can't you use a little bit of common sense?
Why do you repeat your mistakes over and over again?
Just get out..
Your prayers.. - Stop it! Go! - Thank you.
God!
It got hit.. - I know that you are a hit man sent by God to kill me.
No that. You fell..
You will put me in trouble.. - Good morning, Ali.
Good morning, hello. Sorry, sir.
Has she reached? - Of course.
She arrived on time and I got my daily dosage.
I feel really energetic. - What was today's problem?
Guys like him will come and make my life hell..
Who is this guy?
He is her new executive assistant.
Hi, sir. - Really? - He's a computer engineer.
So..
Sir, Nagaraj Reddy called from Hyderabad.
Which Nagaraj Reddy? - I too don't know.
Go inside.. Come here.
Nagaraj Reddy is ready for anything.
You didn't tell him about the situation, did you?
I thought not to scare him away even before he joins.
I hope he will stay for at least one week.
Don't say that, sir.
Yes, I know that.
Yes. But Mr. Arun, I have discussed this issues with you so many times.
Ma'am, may I come in?
And.. Am I responsible for all these problems?
Okay. Thank you. Let me go.
Then why can't you understand my position?
I am already so stressed out.
Arun, my employees are already driving me crazy
and I cannot handle this pressure.
Good afternoon, good evening.. - One second.
Who asked you to come inside?
Y-You gave me the signal to come inside..
So.. - I said two minutes, not come in. Clear out.
Sorry, ma'am. - Yes. - Sorry. I'm..
Go on.. Carry on. - Hello..
Damn! - Shit! Hey, you! Come back.
Sit down.
There. - Here? Okay.
Why are you here? - I-I got an appointment.
God, help me!
So, you are my new assistant. Right? - Yes, ma'am.
Are you a computer engineer? - Yes, ma'am.
Then why this job?
You graduated in 2004. Right? - Yes, ma'am. - Okay.
What was your previous job?
This is my first job interview. - Oh, that is strange.
You graduated in 2004, with a distinction.
But you haven't done any job for almost eight years.
Finally you ended up in an executive assistant job.
What happened?
It's all because of my family crisis. - What?
Family cry.. Cry..
What the hell is this? Get out.
Sit down. - What? - Oh.
Ali, I asked you to get out. - Thank you. - He.. - Out.
Yes, tell me. - Sorry.
Family cry.. Cry..
I meant family problems. - Okay, I understand.
So, are you ready to do any job? - Yes, ma'am.
Good. This is a private firm.
And your future completely depends on your performance.
If you perform well, you can stay.
Or else, you will get fired. Am I clear? - Okay, ma'am. - Okay.
Mr. Ali will explain the details of your job.
This isn't a government organisation
for you to come and go whenever you like.
You are lucky if you get time to go to the toilet. - What?
Don't worry. I was speaking metaphorically.
The timing depends on the job.
You can go home after finishing your job.
That's good.
So I can go home, if I finish my job by 3:30 p.m.
We have some rules about the work timing.
You'll have to work from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
What are the procedures for applying for leave? - Oh, God!
You haven't even started working, but you want to know about leave.
For the first year, people here will never get a leave. - What?
So won't I get any leave for a year? - I didn't mean that.
If you get a leave, you are lucky.
This time too, I was speaking metaphorically.
Anyway, what is your salary? - Rs. 15,000.
Where are you staying? - Indira Nagar.
Isn't that a posh colony?
I'm staying as a paying guest. - Okay.
Did you bring the legal document?
Legal document? - The legal document of your house.
What for?
Is it your first time in Mumbai?
This is the first time I'm living outside of Kerala.
If you wish to live here
you'll need at least Rs. 25,000 just to survive by eating porridge.
Rs. 25,000 for mere porridge? - No..
I was speaking.. - Metaphorically? - Yes.
Dear friend..
Stop speaking metaphorically and tell me the truth.
What is my job? What should I do here?
Do you want to know your job details?
Do you need any help, Manu?
Hi, Sneha.
You have been working here for a month, right?
I don't know. - But I know. Today you will complete one month here.
I didn't notice the time passing by.
It was difficult to pass time at my hometown.
What was your job in your hometown?
I was helping my dad. - What's your dad's job?
He just sits idle.
Sneha, I came here because there was no job in my hometown.
I am seeing you a bit relaxed for the first time.
It's because Ms. Priya is on a tour.
Please don't mention that devil's name.
What were you guys discussing?
We were talking about Ms. Priya. - Oh.
Sneha, for God's sake, please don't remind us of that devil.
Let me remain peaceful for at least one day.
Today is the day your salary gets credited. You owe us a treat.
Yes, my first salary.
But your happiness lasts only for the first salary.
Why? Will subsequent salaries make me sad? - Yes.
You'll be sad as you won't get any salary hike.
Good evening.
What? Haven't you still completed your work?
What were you doing all this time?
Ma'am, yesterday I worked till 10:30 p.m.
And today I came early in the morning and started the work.
That's exactly what I'm asking you. Why haven't you finished this?
This work is too heavy for me. I need more time to finish this.
Is this work heavy for you?
You should work and not gossip during your office hours.
If you don't complete your work on time
I will make sure you get fired.
Do you understand that? Okay, I want this job done
and send it to me via email within one hour.
That's the only time you get. - Okay. - Okay, ma'am.
She speaks English too fast when she is emotional.
Buddy, what did she say?
What can I do if she asks me to do ten days' job in two days?
That bitch never appreciates all the hard work we put in.
Don't be mad. Please calm down. - How can I?
I haven't slept properly in days.
I have a very bad fate.
That's a problem faced by everybody in the private sector.
It's just because it's your first time. You will get used to it.
When was she born? - I know that the day is 26th December.
Why is that? - Isn't that the day when the tsunami struck?
I will kill you.
Hey, wait. Buddy, you must learn from me.
When she calls me
I put on a fake smile, receive all the cussing and return.
And then, just forget about it.
Ali, Ms. Priya is calling you. - Okay.
It's my turn. I will go and get my dosage.
Hello. - Mom, it's me.
Why are you calling at this time? Didn't you go to the office?
I'm calling from the office. - Why is your sound like this?
Nothing, you may be mistaken.
Why are you lying to your mom?
If there is a minute change in your sound, I would know about it.
Tell me, what is troubling you?
Nothing.
It was not a busy day at the office.
So I thought of calling you, Mom.
So I just called you. That's all.
Isn't it the first time I am staying away from home?
That is troubling me a bit.
Don't bother about it too much.
Whatever happens, you have to hang on.
Mom, I'll bear anything. This job is my last resort.
Okay, Mom. I will call you in the evening. - Okay, Son.
What happened?
Who do you think you are? Bitch!
Hell with your dressing and English accent.
I'll thrash you into dust if I get a chance.
I will pour chicken curry all over you and feed you to the dogs.
I will kick the hell out of you.
What happened?
She called me a son of a bitch.
Didn't you give her a fitting reply?
Didn't you hear me just now? - Yes.
I flushed all my anger into the commode. I broke a bucket too.
Let me go and buy one. This is the fourth bucket this month.
Sneha, what happened? - You got scolded because of me.
She scolded me for not doing my work. - No.
She scolded you as I was talking to you.
No, it's not because of that.
But she might scold me if she sees me discoing with you.
She has left.
I can't bear it.
Please don't cry. Maybe you should leave.
She is jealous of me. - Who?
Ms. Priya! She doesn't like me talking to any male staff.
I can't bear the pain of someone being sad because of me.
Sneha..
Sneha, don't cry. I can't bear to see you cry!
Leave me! Why did you hug me?
I can't bear to see you cry!
I know your intentions, you pervert.
Manu. - Yes. I hope you are not angry with me.
No..
You may go.
Why is she like this? - Love.
What? - Don't worry. It's pure acting.
She will milk you out completely.
Is it? - Yes.
She will give you gifts, initially.
Just like we feed a cow with grass.
Once you fall into that trap, she'll start milking you.
She will start asking
for dress, gold and home appliances.
Is she such a trouble? - Not much.
The guys will expect a hook-up. But nothing will happen.
How can you be so sure about it?
You too were trapped. Right? - Yes..
When I lost all my money.. - You realised the trap. Isn't it?
No.. I took bank loans to buy her gifts.
Once the banks stopped giving me loans, I realised.
Now I'm working hard to repay those loans.
Aren't you angry at her? - No, I feel sympathetic now.
She has two sisters. She is trying to get them married.
Okay, bye. - Everybody is trying hard to earn a living.
Everybody is not what they seem on the outside. - Except one.
Who is that? - Priya.S.Nair. - Oh, no.
My job is not yet finished.
You shouldn't be too much dedicated towards work.
Tomorrow is Sunday. You can do it then.
You are such a workaholic. Idiot.
Let us go out and have fun.
Have you forgotten about your treat?
I don't have much money. I will buy you what I can afford.
It's not you but me who is paying the bill.
What? - Yes.
You haven't told me anything about yourself.
There is nothing much to say. - Aren't you getting married?
I wish to work abroad and get married to a girl there.
I think the western culture is very good.
I love their lifestyle, music and food.
Burger, juice, sausage and cornflakes are all my favourites.
Our food habits are not that good.
I hate rice, dal and potato.
My dad likes those authentic south Indian cuisines.
I hate that.
So you plan to become a westerner. Isn't it?
Not exactly. But I like their culture.
I too like it, except one thing.
I hate their way of using toilet paper to wipe their arse.
They argue that it's the most hygienic method.
I too tried it out when I ran out of water in my flat.
It won't suit us.
Where are we going? - Metro club.
This is a posh club in Mumbai. I usually bring people here.
Isn't it expensive here?
We have a discount since our company has a tie-up with this pub.
I wouldn't take you here otherwise. Please sit here.
So, do everyone in our office come here?
The devil and Mr. Matthew comes here every Saturday.
Employees like us come here only on the first week of every month.
Do you like the place? - Yes.
I have only seen a pub in the movies.
Anyway, when you come here, have a drink and dance
all our tensions will be relieved.
It's a bit expensive. But what is life without all these?
Here comes Mr Matthew. Good evening, sir. - Good evening
Have you started drinking? - We were about to start.
Congrats, Mr Manu. You are great.
It's no small thing, that you completed one month under Priya.
Isn't it right? - I too was saying that.
How is she? - Not bad, sir.
It's the first time I hear someone say that. Anyway, keep it up.
Hasn't she arrived yet? - She is in a bad mood after the tour.
It maybe because the American company cancelled their orders.
Yes. - Are you talking about RVG?
Yes.
That order was confirmed. Right?
That's what she told us.
A Mauritius based company got those orders.
Anyway, carry on.
Enjoy yourself. - Thank you, sir.
Thank you, sir.
What do you like to have?
I need a glass of brandy.
What do you want?
I'll have a beer.
One bottle beer, please. - Okay.
I feel sad. We've lost a bulk order of Rs. 20 crores.
You're sad for losing the deal
but Mr. Matthew is happy. Did you notice it?
They're competing each other.
For what? - Priya is the head of the sales department.
Mr. Matthew is the head of the operations department.
Above them there is the CEO.
One among them will become the CEO soon.
They're competing for that.
Who among them have more chances?
Mr. Matthew has service seniority.
Even the staff wants him to become the CEO.
He is more humanly.
Didn't you notice his behaviour now?
Priya won't even look at us in such a situation.
Anyway, she has more chances to become the CEO.
But Mr. Matthew is senior to her. Isn't it?
Say cheers.
Cheers. - Cheers.
Sorry, I always drink fast.
Seniority is not at all considered for promotion.
Priya is an Australian citizen.
She came here in a job contract for four years.
The company's business improved after her arrival.
The company can survive only if it gets good deals.
So, who'll get more preference for promotion?
Obviously, Priya.
I feel sorry for Mr. Matthew. - He is not that virtuous.
Even he has a master plan against Priya.
Ms. Priya's loss of the order
will be Mr. Matthew's gain. Wait and see.
What do you like to have?
One more glass of brandy. - Okay, sir.
Which is her native place in Kerala?
Somewhere in Thiruvananthapuram.
She did her schooling in Kerala. Then, she left to Australia. - Oh.
No, it's okay.. - My God!
What happened? - Look, Priya is here.
Aren't you dancing today?
It totally depends on my mood, you know.
Good evening, ma'am.
Hey, there's a nice couch there. Come, let's sit there.
Take a sip of the beer to get rid of your shyness.
Why did you try to talk to her? - Isn't she's our boss?
So what? There is no need to respect her now.
Don't try to impress her. It's never going to happen.
Who is the other girl? - Her name is Jyothi.
They stay together.
She is working in an advertising company.
Is she a Keralite? - Just a minute.
Is she a Keralite? - Yes.
They are too wicked. Both are staying in an apartment.
They have many unwanted visitors there. - Nonsense.
How do you think she fix business deals with big shots?
She'll go to meet them in the name of business tour
and will return with the orders within two days.
Something mischievous is happening in between.
Hey, I don't think she's that cheap.
I don't know about it.
I feel satisfied when I spread such gossips.
That's why I told you about it.
It's a bad habit to spread rumours.
Manu, you should reform yourselves.
This is the world of cunning and crooked people.
To get through these, we also should be cunning and crooked.
Good evening, guys. Welcome to the Metro Pub.
Let me introduce DJ Ubis and DJ Diya.
Are you ready for the electro night?
I want to dance.
Come, let's dance.
Will it be fine? - No problem.
Even if you dance or not, Priya will scold you tomorrow for sure.
Come with me. Come.
Guys, join the dance floor and make some noise!
Can we dance?
It's tiring. Let me leave now.
Priya. - What?
Call for you..
Hold on a second, she's coming.
Hello. Priya here.
Can you do me a favour? I'm busy right now.
Give me a call tomorrow morning during office time. Okay?
Why did you answer this call?
I didn't know that it was Arun. It wasn't his number.
You could've guessed it on seeing the overseas number.
I thought that it's your dad. He calls you from different places.
He won't even let me live in peace.
Arun is behind you all the time.
Why can't you sign those documents?
I won't let him earn money like that.
Divorce has became too common these days.
It's better to separate if you can't live together.
Not for me. I'm the most affected person with this divorce.
I requested them a lot to step back from the decision.
They never listened to my words.
Priya. - Jyothi, please.
Let's skip this topic for now.
As flatmates, it's a common courtesy
to share the work in the flat.
Sorry, ma'am.
Since I lost the order, I've to handle a lot of problems.
Don't you know about that Matthew Abraham?
He is definitely going to make use of this opportunity.
What will you do now? - Do you know one thing?
Actually, I had a back-up plan.
As a precaution, I discussed the business deal
simultaneously with another company.
You always ask me
why I use the laptop all the time. Isn't it? - Yes.
It's called networking.
I always keep my relationships alive.
Only then can I survive in this corporate world.
To be frank I felt jealous of you.
Your dedication and commitment to the profession is remarkable.
I can't be so professional like you.
I never preferred this life style. Don't you know about my problems?
Anyway, I don't even have time to think about it.
Hello. Priya here. Yes.
Where are you? Are you at the office?
Send a copy to my personal e-mail ID also.
Okay. Yes. Thanks, bye.
Who was that? - It was my new assistant.
This is cruel Priya. Why do you want him to work on Sunday?
Look, I never instructed him to do so.
Since he couldn't meet the target, he's voluntarily doing it.
I'm sure that he's too efficient as he stayed with you for this long.
He is an innocent villager.
But he is good.
Hardworking.
Since you appreciated his work, he might be very good.
He's a software engineer. - What?
Then, why does he work as your assistant?
I don't know.
He finished his engineering long back.
But this is his first job. - So sad.
I think, he has got some family problems.
I think, he's from a poor family background.
So sad. Be nice to him.
Sorry.
Whomever I have sympathised with have taken advantage of me.
Especially Keralites.
Yes, ma'am.
One minute. I-I am coming.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Yes, we have a good news and a bad news.
Our tender got approved and we got the orders.
Congratulations, ma'am. And the bad news?
You're fired. - What?
Ma'am. - You're a great actor.
But don't try to play with me.
Ma'am.. Please make it clear.
Look, don't try to act too smart with me. Okay.
You might be brilliant.
Don't try to underestimate us.
Do you think that you can make me a fool forever?
What mistake have I done?
Look, I don't need to waste my valuable time talking to you.
Go and find a job elsewhere.
No, ma'am. I need to know the mistake that I have made.
It's my right.
How dare you talk to me like that?
Are you trying to teach me about your rights?
You've absolutely no right in this office.
Listen, I'm your boss
and you're my assistant, and.. - Hello.. Ma'am..
...fire you anytime.. - Since last one and a half months
I'm working for you. - They are all scared of me.
If you dismiss me.. - I don't wish to give you an explanation.
Is it fair to do so? - I hate people who backstab me.
I need.. - I won't forget anyone who puts me in such a situation.
Do you understand? I'm going to e-mail.. - I won't go.
I know, I didn't do anything wrong. - Each and every company in this
country saying that you're.. - I'm damn sure about it.
Don't call me a fool. - Nobody needs you.
I have the right.. - Get out, you..
Don't overreact.. - Go, you stupid..
Move aside.. - How dare you..
I didn't do any mistake.. - You talk..
Just get out from my office, Ali. - Let me.. - Don't shout..
Leave me.. - Stop it.. - Hey.
Move aside.. - Listen to me.
What do you think about me? - Don't try to torture me?
Come here. - You know.. - Move aside..
I know what to do... - Do you know
I have eight years of experience in this.. - Don't try to scare me.
...company to become the boss
and are you trying to become my boss?
Stupid! You loser! - What the hell..
I never.. - Shut up!
Even you will.. - You, idiot!
...suffer a lot. She is mad.
Manu, just listen to me. - What the hell is this?
She's firing me without telling me the reason.
Who do she think she is?
Just listen to me.
Things will be more complicated, if you lose your temper.
Just go to your room.
Let me collect the details and come to you.
Trust me. Just go.
Please don't harm her.
I need to take my bag.
Manu.
I was looking for you.
Didn't I ask you to stay in your room?
I'll go mad if I sit there.
I got to know the reason behind your dismissal.
They say that you have sent the details about the tender quotation
to a Mumbai based company.
What? I never did it.
Priya says that you're the spy of that Mumbai-based company.
Are you really a spy?
Don't make me lose my temper again.
I swear that I'm innocent.
Then how did that happen?
How did you get to know about this? - Sneha.
Can we believe her?
There is no better spy than her in our office.
She's smarter than the Russian female spies!
Then how did we get the order
in spite of the quotation getting leaked?
That.. Since ma'am had a doubt about it
she had sent another quotation instead. - Okay.
If we ask Sneha for some help, will she do it?
She will help.
But we can't expect what she might ask in return.
Your doubt was genuine, Manu.
Last Sunday, two mails were sent
from your computer.
The first one was sent to the mail ID of a US company
and a copy to the personal mail ID of Ms. Priya.
The second one was sent to the mail ID of Mr. Sukbir Singh.
The first mail was sent by me.
But the second one was sent by someone else.
I want to know the time when these emails were sent.
I can tell you the details.
But before that, we should talk.
What will I gain by helping you?
Manu will always be grateful to you.
You can keep that with you!
What are you expecting?
Rs. 25,000.
What? Rs. 25,000 for such a small piece of information?
I'll take it as a loan.
But I'll need some time to return it back.
That was exactly what she had told me earlier!
If I have told you, I will give it back!
When? Will you give it after I am dead?
Hey! Okay. I agree.
But I don't have any money now.
If I get back my job, I'll arrange it somehow.
Okay. I believe your words.
The first mail was sent at 7.10 p.m.
and the second one was sent at 7.30 p.m.
That means..
Somebody had used my system after I left the office that day.
But weren't you the only one at the office that day?
I need one more help from you. - But no extra money for that!
We enter and exit our office
by swiping our identity cards. Isn't it?
So I need the details of our electronic attendance register.
Especially the details of last Sunday.
Take it. You had guessed it right.
Hey! If this becomes an issue, for God's sake
don't disclose Sneha's name.
Don't worry. Whatever happens, I'll never disclose your names.
You can trust me.
Sneha! Thank you so much. You can leave now.
Hey Manu! - Yes?
What are you going to do now?
I'll throw these papers on that devil!
I want to see her face
when she gets to know
that she was the one at fault. - What's the use?
Will you get back your job? - Of course.
Isn't it proved that I'm innocent?
Hey! I'm saying this as I've more service experience than you.
The ego of a boss is such that
they'll never accept their mistakes.
So if you wish to get back your job
you shouldn't make her feel that she was the one at fault.
Then?
Yes, please.
Ma'am! - Hey!
Who gave you the permission to get inside?
How dare you come back in front of me?
You're an absolute disappointment to this.. - 'Whatever she says'
'just listen to her sincerely'
'and with due respect try to explain the things.'
'Haven't you heard the saying'
'to get things done you'll have to fall at the feet of people.'
Please pardon me if my arrival has troubled you.
I need to tell you something.
I don't want to hear anything! Please get out of here!
Ma'am! Last Sunday after sending
a mail to the US company at 7.10 p.m., I swiped out
of the office at 7.15 p.m., which is recorded
in our electronic attendance log.
A mail was sent to the Mumbai company from my system at 7.30 p.m.
The attendance register log shows the entry of Venkidi
from our operation wing at 7.23 p.m. and his exit
from this office at 7.32 p.m.
This is the copy of the attendance register log.
'When you are sure that things are fine'
'then you can start praising her.'
I consider myself lucky to work as your assistant.
You've taught me the sincerity and dedication
to be shown towards a work.
I've given complete justice to my work till now.
I'm grateful that you had the patience to listen to me.
Her parents must be blamed for this. Idiot! Moron! Rascal!
I feel contented.
Oh, my boy!
What happened? Did that workout? - Yes. Completely!
What? - That devil and Mr. Matthew had a tiff.
Mr. Matthew? But wasn't it Venkidi who did all this?
Hey! Venkidi is Mr. Matthew's assistant.
So Ms. Priya feels that Mr. Matthew is behind all this. - But why?
I don't know the details.
I came here to inform you that the devil is calling you.
Whatever happened is for good.
Whatever is going to happen is also for good.
Hey! What happened to you?
Surely a sympathy would have developed within her.
That's enough. I'll march ahead through this space.
I'll be back with a promotion at least.
Are you expecting sympathy from her?
I'll be her pet hereafter.
Wish me luck. - Okay. All the best.
May I come in, ma'am.
Oh, Mr. Manu! Please come in.
Please sit, Manu. - Thank you.
Actually, I'm so sorry for whatever I've said and done.
Hey.. You don't have to be sorry.
It's a silly thing! I've already forgotten that.
Mr. Manu! What are you doing there? You buffoon!
You're come in, ma'am. We're come..
May I come in, ma'am?
Look, Mr. Manu! I'm not firing you for now.
But take care not to repeat this mistake!
But I haven't done anything wrong.
Yes, it is your fault!
It's your duty to keep the documents safe with you.
If you can't do that, you need not work here.
Highly confidential documents
must be kept in the office locker as a hard copy.
That's how it is done. You can't trust these network computers.
Nobody told me to do so.
Should someone tell you about it?
Can't you use your common sense?
But how can you? You don't even have it!
You'll have an excuse for every damn thing!
Why do you bloody lazy fools come to work?
Is it just to make some money? You can sit at home, right?
You won't be getting another chance. Did you understand?
Now go back and do your work. - Thank you, ma'am.
Actually.. - Oh, just get out of here! - Oh!
I didn't notice it. It was my mistake. Sorry.
I'll thrash you to dust once I get you.
Bloody bitch!
Your bloody hair, your pointed heels
and your filthy clothes!
Don't try to under estimate me! You filthy woman!
I didn't swear directly at you as I have good manners. Bitch!
Did you get it? - Get what? - Promotion.
Didn't I warn you earlier.
She.. She doesn't know me well.
If she mess with me, I will break her bone into pieces!
But this job is essential for me.
Otherwise, she would've seen my true colours.
Oh, my God!
Won't you give me at least one chance to teach her a lesson?
Sir, may I come in? - Please come in.
Sir! Why did you want to see me? - Sit down.
I'm sorry. Your request for visa extension has been rejected
by the government.
But sir! This is ridiculous.
I've every right to get my visa extended.
You're right. But what can we do?
These are the rules.
Due to terrorism the government has made strict immigration rules.
I've talked to the concerned person.
You can stay in India only for the next 45 days.
He says that you should
return to Australia and reapply for your visa.
But how long will it take if I go back and reapply?
They're not sure about it.
It may take 3 months, 6 months or maybe one year.
Priya! Don't get upset.
We like to have you here.
So we were willing to do whatever was possible.
But rules.. We have to follow them.
Excuse me, sir!
No! Not now! We're in a meeting.
But it's urgent, sir.
Ma'am! Nestle's HR
Sunitha Rawat has called up. - Not now.
But she says.. It's very urgent.
'Oh! Did I do something wrong now?'
One second, sir. - Okay.
If you don't want to get fired
you'll have to help me here. Do you understand?
Who's this? I'll get squint eyes if you stand so close.
Oh! Was that you? What did you say?
Hey! You've to support me for whatever I tell here. Okay? - Why?
Don't ask any questions. Just do as I say.
Else I will fire you. - Really? - Yes.
Come on.
I am sorry, sir. We hid something from everyone.
Shall we tell them? - What? Y-Yes.
It's time to disclose.
Right. - Tell me. What is it?
We are in love. - What? - What?
Y-Yes. - We will get married soon.
What?
B-But I don't see any happiness on his face.
Well.. I will be happy only after the marriage.
What if someone messes up our whole plan?
Just like the Berlin wall got demolished. - Yes. - Yes, right.
Yes. - Right.
But he is your assistant. Isn't it?
He is educated, good looking and very hard working, sir.
But It has only been three months since you came here, isn't it?
Yes. - No. Three and a half months.
Three and a half months. - Yes. - Three and a half months ago.
You fell in love in such a short time?
Everything happened so fast, sir.
Isn't it? - Yes.
Everything happened in a blink of the eye.
It was a love at first sight.
As you know, he is my assistant.
Our interaction was 24 hours a day.
24 hours? - Yes. I mean, almost.
We worked together on some late night projects. - Yes.
At that circumstances.. You know.
At that situation.. You know. - Aren't we just human, sir?
So, That led to.. - We fell in love.
So you are getting married.
Yes, sir.
Okay. Then I think that your immigration problem is solved.
Really? That's great news, sir.
Wonderful. So don't wait too long.
Make it legal.
Sure, sir. Sure.
Lucky fellow.
Thanks. - All the best.
Thank you. - Thank you, sir.
What? What had happened?
What?
What is this, ma'am? I don't understand.
It's simple. We are getting married.
Marry? I am sorry. I can't marry you.
Do you want this job? - Yes, I do.
Then you will have to marry me.
Ma'am.. This is blackmailing.
Why are you making me do this act?
Sit down, Manu.
Don't tell me to sit down while I am really worried.
I can't do that.
Okay. This might be just an act.
But I have to do this.
Because this matter affects my promotion.
What if someone finds out?
Who is going to find out?
Let's go and register it officially.
After a couple of months let us file for a divorce.
That's the end of it. No one is going to find out.
But I am a virgin, ma'am.
Oh, God! You are so shameless.
Get out, you idiot!
Good job. Congratulations. Nice.
Where is the treat?
Did everyone know? - Yes.
They even fixed your honeymoon destination.
Damn it! - Don't worry.
Didn't she tell you that you can get a divorce
after two months?
If you are good enough.
You can make a real honeymoon. - Are you crazy?
Hey! Don't get upset.
Come on. I need to tell you something.
Come on.
Mr. Matthew wants to see you.
He asked me to take you to him.
I am not going to meet him.
He almost got me fired.
'The enemy of your enemy is a friend.'
The connection with Mr. Matthew is good for your future.
You are a software engineer.
Your qualification is best suited for operations department.
That is Mr. Matthew's department.
If you want a promotion
or if you want to make your dreams come true
you have to get into Mr. Matthews department.
Do you know, everyone who goes abroad from our company
in from Mr. Matthew's department.
Somehow, I need to get into his department.
Yes, but you have two obstructions ahead of you.
Firstly, you have to get into the good books of Mr. Matthew.
Secondly, you have to become a 'B' level employee.
'B' level employee?
Seriously?
You are a 'C' level employee now.
That's equivalent to a trainee.
At this level you won't get any allowance.
They can let you go without any notice.
You can't switch departments too.
But if you become a 'B' level employee
you will get a hike in pay and other rewards too.
With your qualification you can switch to any department.
What can I do?
Okay. You don't have to do anything.
Our ma'am is the one who can.
She has to recommend you.
Damn it! It's like I am walking on a wire.
That's true.
But if you can keep your balance all the way
you can reach the other side.
That's your smartness.
How about a drink for you, guys?
Oh, yes. - No. sir.
What? - No, sir. Thank you.
You fool. How can you refuse a free drink?
May God curse upon you.
So the fear of getting fired
made you say yes to this, isn't it?
Yes, sir.
If you promise to help me
I will back out from this act.
What kind of help?
She will fire me if I refuse to get married.
So, you should get me into your department.
That's not possible. - What?
If you get fired from one department
then the director board won't let you join another.
Manu, if you back out now
Priya will find someone else.
There is only one solution.
You have to act as if you will help her.
But marriage shouldn't happen.
You have to delay that from happening.
That's not possible, sir.
Ms. Priya is executing her plans so quickly.
We are going to the FRRO's office tomorrow.
What is an FRRO's office?
F-R-R-O.
Foreign Registration Regional Office. - Is that so?
So, she is acting fast.
That devil is unpredictable.
If we don't stop her
then we will be screwed.
Okay.
He has finished it.
I will take you in my department, Manu.
Within a year I can send you to Europe.
Hey, didn't you hear that? They'll send me to Europe.
I did.
Why aren't you happy?
It's you and not me who is going to Europe. - Manu.
But you need to do two things in return.
Yes, sir. - Firstly..
You have to delay this marriage registration.
Second, for a period of some days
you have to keep Priya away from the office.
Right.
Why are you happy now?
Both of these aren't going to happen.
I know that this is not an easy task for you.
I need some time to do anything.
So, you must do these things.
Do you know the officer's name at FRRO?
He is a Malayali. I think his name is Tom George.
Mister, we need to meet with Mr. Tom George.
We have an appointment. - He will be here soon. Sit down.
Okay, thanks. - Thank you.
It's 9:40 a.m. Indians have no punctuality.
Normal office time in India is 10:00 a.m.
I-I was talking about the government offices.
Listen. I will talk once we get inside.
It will be idiocy if you talk.
Useless..
F-R-R-O. Frog! - Damn it!
Bloody cultureless moron!
We just came for the film festival.
But it will be great if we could get your help
to get our visa extended.
Let me see what I can do. - Okay. - Thanks.
Thanks. - Thank you very much. It was nice meeting you. - Okay.
Did you come to see me?
Are you Mr. Tom George? - Yes.
We have an appointment.
Oh, please come. - Okay.
Okay. Tell me. What can I do for you?
Sir, I am Priya.S.Nair and he is Manu Varma. - Hello.
Are you both Malayalis? - Yes, sir.
We both are working in Quadra InfoTech.
Priya.S.Nair. Quadra InfoTech.
Both of these sound very familiar.
Sir, I am an Australian Citizen.
I had applied for my visa extension.
Yes. - But you rejected it.
Not by me but by the government.
But why, sir?
After the recent terrorist attack in Mumbai
the government has taken some strict decisions.
So there are some limitations in extending a visa.
But this is not a permanent restriction.
But if your visa expires now
you'll have to go to your mother country and reapply.
You can come back once these limitations are gone.
I am helpless.
I am sorry.
But my situation is different, sir.
Actually, we are getting married.
In this situation
I think that I am eligible for a visa extension, right?
Wait a second.
So a CMO is marrying an Assistant. Isn't it?
You are confused about how I knew about it, right?
I got an information
that to get an Indian citizenship
you and your assistant
are planning a fake marriage.
It's true that I am a CMO and Manu is my assistant. - Okay.
But it's a lie that our marriage is fake.
I received this from your own company.
It was reported by Mr. Matthew Abraham.
Sir, this is a clear case of professional jealousy.
I am going to get the CEO post that he had wished for.
I hope you can understand the situation.
Okay.
I am not considering this letter for now.
But I still doubt if this is a legit marriage.
But why?
Look at the way Mr. Manu is sitting.
He isn't saying anything.
That is what I was talking about.
Why aren't you talking, Manu?
Ma'am, he didn't ask anything to me.
Ma'am, he was just talking to you.
Mr. Manu, do you call your lover 'Ma'am'?
No.
On all occasions other than our private moments
I call her 'Ma'am'.
Our relationship is a secret.
Yes.
During our private moments, I'll call Priya
as darling, sweetheart and such. Are you feeling shy?
Yes, exactly.
Manu got habituated to it.
I never hesitate to express my love.
But the way you interact
doesn't match your relationship status.
When I walked in
I saw you both sitting like strangers.
So, I am confused.
Why are you questioning us like we are criminals?
We are in love.
Our love is true and honest.
Please don't doubt our love.
Isn't it, Priya? - Yes.
We will conduct a thorough investigation
as we had received a complaint against you both.
If we find out that you have been
violating the law or making a mockery out of it
the Indian government will send Priya back to Australia.
Since Manu is an Indian citizen
you will be punished for cheating and fraud.
You will go to jail.
Are you threatening my fiance?
No.
I am not threatening. I am telling you the facts.
You should know the seriousness of this situation.
We will be investigating at both of your houses.
We need to know if they know about your marriage.
Excuse me.
What do you want to know?
The truth.
I think you are ready for it.
Yes.
Our love and marriage is..
Is legit.
It's a decision we took after thinking a lot.
I don't have any interest to work
under my wife after marriage.
We know that it won't help us in the future.
So we have a detailed plan.
Yes.
Priya has already promoted me, a 'C' level employee
as a 'B' level employee.
Isn't it, Priya?
Yes, that's true.
Being a 'B' level employee, I can move on from being
her assistant and work at a higher level.
The professional difference between us is thus made even.
Coming to our family and their response
there are no problems from Priya's side.
But as my family is a bit conservative
we are trying to explain the situation
and make them understand.
Isn't it, Priya? - Yes, of course.
That's why we have decided to go to Kerala the very next day.
Isn't it, Priya? - Oh, is it?
Yes, sure. We are going.
The reason why we came here was
to know and understand the procedures.
This is quite a convincing story. - Oh.
But still, I am not convinced.
Even if you believe it or not
It is a fact that we are getting married.
If it's a genuine marriage, then you don't have to worry.
Just go ahead.
All the best.
Hey, wait.
What nonsense were you saying?
I am going to promote you as a 'B' level employee it seems.
Don't even think about it.
You were trying to take advantage of the situation, weren't you?
You were pretending to be innocent.
I can understand the reason behind it.
If I had remained silent
your plan would have become a failure.
When I realised that your acting would ruin the plan
I had to interfere.
What was wrong with that?
With my amazing and soulful acting
I joined the broken pieces.
Instead of thanking me for that you are scolding me.
Hey, wait.
Okay.
Your performance was great.
I agree.
But why did you grab my hand?
Didn't you just take advantage of the situation?
Get lost..
We don't grab women's hand when we get a chance.
Didn't you listen to what he said?
He felt that we were strangers.
I had to act in front of him to win back
the trust that he had lost because of you.
Not just..
Well, when I tried to release my hand
why did you grab it back?
Ms. Priya.
Think about it.
You..
Okay, I'll accept that too.
But I didn't understand why
you needed a 'B' level recommendation.
There is a proverb in my village that goes
'One must always give and take in a trade.'
That is, if I help you, then you have to help me in return.
I didn't fire you, right? That is the help I can do to you.
Did you understand? - Oh, is it?
But I understood something after I reached here.
What is it?
If this plan happens to fail tomorrow
you will pack your bags and fly home.
But I'll have to spend my time in a jail.
So what?
How can you ask that?
When the job gets risky, my demands will go up.
Oh, is it? - Yes, it is.
Okay, then I don't want your help.
What did you say?
I don't want your help.
Are you sure?
Yes, I am sure.
Okay, let it be like that.
Forget about your job at Quadra InfoTech as well.
I had left that job long back.
Then I'll send an e-mail to all the IT companies in India
with your profile attached to it
that you are inefficient, dishonest and totally hopeless.
I am a farmer, born and brought up
in a family with a farming heritage.
Look at these calluses. - Where is it?
I might not have any calluses now
but if I go to Kerala and plough a bit
I'll get calluses.
Farming suits you more.
I know what is in your mind.
Do you have any thought of replacing me in this plan?
But that is not going to happen
because if you meet that officer with another man
all your plans will get ruined.
So you will come to me.
See you later.
Please don't make him dance like a puppet.
Please.
Get lost.
Hey, what happened?
Nothing at all.
You called Manu, didn't you? - Yes.
Do you think that calling Manu was the problem?
I have a feeling that I am losing to Manu.
That's what is disturbing me so much.
After all he is my assistant.
If you won't get mad at me, I'll tell you something.
What is it?
What was wrong with what he had asked?
Doesn't Manu have the skills to be a 'B' level employee?
To be frank, yes.
But I was planning to promote him
once I get promoted.
What is the problem?
There is a difference between me promoting him
and him taking it forcefully from me, Jyothi.
I understood.
Instead of getting the respect once you promote him
you'll have to face his pride. Isn't that what bothers you?
Yes, something like that.
Why are you worried about such silly things?
I am worried about how you'll face his parents.
Don't worry, Jyothi.
I used to be on my own earlier too.
When I compare it with the problems I had earlier
this is nothing.
When is he coming tomorrow?
I asked him to come by tomorrow morning.
She needs to get this done anyhow. - Yes.
So you don't have to stand up and give her respect.
We are men, we should have some guts. - Okay.
Good morning. - Sit.
Okay.
I have accepted your demand.
I'll send a recommendation letter tomorrow
regarding your promotion. - Okay.
There should be clarity in things from now on.
Only then shall we move ahead.
That's how it is supposed to be done.
None of you will be able to change your statements later. - Yes.
Aunt Jyothi and I will be the witnesses.
Aunt? - No, I mean Ms. Jyothi.
Is there anything else that is stopping you?
Sorry, I'll go ahead
only when I get my acceptance letter as a 'B' level employee.
But that will take a month.
Let it be.
You have 45 days in hand, don't you?
I have to explain everything to my family as well.
Why should Priya come along? Can't you do it by yourself?
You are saying this because you don't know my family.
It's a small family consisting of dad, mom and grand mom.
They are a bit old-fashioned.
They won't be able to understand our situation.
Will they be able to understand if I come along?
But I am not going to introduce you as the bride.
Then? - I'll introduce her as my wife.
If I tell them that we are about to get married
then they might even kick us out of the house.
If we tell them that we are married then they have no other option.
That is correct.
Everything else depends on Ms. Priya's smartness.
My mom and grand mom are so innocent.
You can befriend them just by talking to them politely.
If my mom and grand mom are okay then dad will also be okay.
Then no matter who comes to enquire, we are safe.
You are such a cunning fellow.
I didn't know that you were this clever.
Will they accept your divorce if they like Priya?
Yes.
Once our work is done, we will get a divorce the very next day.
We can keep it from them for a few days.
I'll explain it to them later and make them understand.
Don't worry about that.
Just say that she have an extramarital affair.
Any parent would agree to a divorce then, isn't it? - You!
When should we leave?
As soon as possible.
Tomorrow, if possible.
Okay, then we can call my travel agent
and book two flight tickets to Kochi.
We are not taking a flight. We will be travelling by train.
I'll decide that and not you.
No. From today, I'll take all the decisions.
What is this? - Priya, no! What are you doing?
Both of you must adjust. Don't start quarrelling.
This is not going to work.
If she behaves like this, then how will my mom be happy with her?
From now, you are not my boss. You are my wife.
So, you better start behaving like one.
My family is going to meet you for the first time.
So, you should be wearing a Sari while coming.
What? Sari?
I don't own a Sari and neither have I worn one.
So what? You can buy one today.
What is this? - You need to be careful.
From now, our life is dependant on the lies we say.
I hope your life doesn't end because of that.
I don't understand
why the hell you are taking her to your home?
Have you thought about your future if people comes to know about this?
I won't stay there for long.
I like to settle down in some European country.
Also, you heard what Mr. Matthew had told us. Didn't you?
Keep her away from the office for some time.
She won't come with me, if it wasn't for this.
I've some work to accomplish with her as my wife.
I understood it. You're so lucky!
That's not my plan. - Then?
There is someone who used to trouble me in my native.
I need to trouble him back.
Also, I can take my revenge for everything she had done to me.
It's like hitting two birds in one shot. - Are you sure about it?
I'm not an innocent guy as I seem to be.
She'd come to know about my real behaviour once we reach my home.
I'm a spoiled brat.
Really?
I understood it the moment I met you for the first time.
What? - Where are they? It's already 5:30 pm.
Did she change her mind?
Please don't say such things.
While taking your revenge, give her my share of revenge too.
If you get a chance. You can even molest her.
Hey, never. I won't do such things.
Why? - I too have a mom, Isn't it?
Get lost! Do you think that all the molesters don't have a mom?
She is here.
This is not going to work.
I told you to wear a Sari and you're wearing jeans.
I'm not your.. - What did you call me?
A wife should address her husband with respect.
Dear Manu, your family won't be on
the train to see me in this dress, isn't it? - What did you call me?
Dear Manu!
Be careful. She has something in her mind.
Is there any problem if I call you 'Dear Manu'?
I think, she is getting ready for a war.
Ma'am, your luggage. - Keep it here.
Is she planning to permanently stay there?
What is this? - Dear Manu, it's my luggage.
You cannot take all these bags.
It's her personal choice. - Yes.
Don't interfere with it. - No, I won't.
Better don't ask me to carry this for you.
Never. I can carry my own luggage.
I don't need your help. - Okay.
Then, come. Let's go.
Just think that you're going on a holiday trip.
Okay. - Take care.
Call me if you need something. - Sure, I'll call you.
Ask her friend to leave.
If she says something that will change Priya's mind
then our plan will get ruined.
The train is about to leave. Get inside.
It's about to leave. - Okay, bye. - Okay.
Which is this place? - Cherthala.
Cherthala? - Yes. - Didn't you say that it was Alappuzha?
What? I've told you to address me with respect.
Don't forget it. - I'll be careful.
I'm starving. I need something to eat.
To eat..
'Three star restaurant and lodge.'
Idli, Dosa, Chutney, Sambar, chicken, mutton, fish fry
fish roast, Mutton Biryani, Chicken Biryani, Egg Biryani
fish curry, Chapatti, Beef, Masala Dosa
vada and other snacks
are not available here. - What? - What?
Do you have a menu? - No.
We don't prepare such items.
Do you've anything which we can eat?
We have Appam and egg curry. Also 'Puttu' and chickpea curry.
Do you have only these two items?
We have Appam and chickpea curry. Also, 'Puttu' and egg curry.
What? I'll have 'Puttu' and chickpea curry.
What do you want?
The other one. - Sugar bun?
We don't have bun. - No. - Not bun.
She wants Appam and egg curry. - Yes, that one.
Give them two glasses.
He is scratching his buttock.
Disgusting.
What's this? - Appam and egg curry. Also, 'Puttu' and green peas.
I got it.
Can't you see flies sitting on it?
These flies are not mine.
So, they won't listen to me if I ask them not to come here.
Hey. - Yes. - In Kerala, we'll have to adjust a bit at the hotels.
This is how the food is served at most of the hotels.
That's it. Blow some sense into her head. - Oh.
Show me your hands. - What?
Show your hands.
My hands are really clean. - Oh, God. - Do you know palmistry?
Do you serve food with this unclean hands?
Then what? - Why can't you clean your nails?
I don't have enough time to poop. How can I clean my nails then?
I don't need your food.
I haven't taken bath for the past five days.
Why do you just complain about my nails?
Come on, sir. Have your food.
This? - Yes, have it.
Aren't you people ashamed to waste food?
I'm not able to wear this properly.
Is this a fishing net? - I don't know.
Don't You know to wear a Sari? - No.
What kind of boss are you?
Excuse me. - Yes. Please come here. - Okay.
Please help her wear this Sari. - Yes, come inside.
Hey. - Sorry. Please go inside.
Hold this for me. - What? - Come in.
Are you planning to kill me?
Careful.
Stop.
Finally, I survived.
How much is it? - Rs. 150.
Rs. 150? - Yes, Rs. 150.
Are you selling this rickshaw to me? - What?
How can you ask for Rs. 150 for travelling just 2.5 km?
Will you repair my vehicle's shock absorber
for travelling on this good for nothing road?
No, I am not a mechanic.
So, stop your shitty talks and give me my money.
My spine has become a jelly.
What can I do? I didn't mess-up these roads.
That's right.
People should be blamed for electing this government.
Don't blame our government, you scum. - I'm sorry.
Are you a Communist? - Yes.
Why do you always have a problem when we are in power?
When the other party is in power, has the roads improved?
I'm sorry. I had just read about it in the newspaper.
It's the problem of the newspapers that you capitalists read.
You have mistaken.
I belong to the group of hardworking labourers.
She is the real capitalist.
Are you trying to crush the rickshaw?
What the hell! Are you trying to crush my auto?
What? Address me with respect.
What? - Leave it. After all, she is a girl. Isn't it?
You! - I'm Manu Varma.
Can't you see me struggling with this?
Stop staring and help me!
Is she ordering me?
Leave it. I'll help her.
Don't show the arrogance of a bourgeoisie.
We don't have any shame in slaughtering humans.
You should've shown this passion in your work.
What did you say? - Long live the revolution.
Fools blinded by politics!
Oh, no. - What?
Come.
Okay, then.
Did anyone scream?
I stepped on an old man's foot.
There is no use if you walk like a duck.
We have to walk a distance of about 2 km. - Oh.
2 km?
Didn't you say that your home comes soon after two small curves?
Yes, there is a small curve after each kilometre.
I can't walk 2 km with all these luggage.
Didn't I tell you not to carry all these luggage?
Why can't we hire a taxi?
But there is no road for vehicle transit to my home.
Are you living in a jungle?
Why the hell did I accompany him?
Hey, this is the way..
Let us meet someday.
Isn't the earth round?
It's really beautiful.
This is nothing.
There are more beautiful things than this. Let's go.
Are you planning to stay here?
If we're acting like husband and wife
then it's husbands responsibility to hold my luggage.
No. It may be like that in Australia.
In Kerala, the wife has to carry all the burden.
You just have two bags, isn't it?
What if you had two kids with you?
Then, you would have to carry one and walk with another one.
We husbands will just walk freely like kings.
Come on. Follow me.
Let's run, jump and keep moving.
There goes a flock of ducks.
They are usually seen in rural areas.
She is so shameless.
Oh, no.
Get lost!
I can do it.
I will do it.
I will fall down!
Here I go!
Where am I?
When I was a kid, the length of the road was less.
But now, I think the road has grown up with me.
Oh, my God!
Is this your house?
Yes.
So, you are rich.
No.
My dad is rich.
I have to colour my hair.
You have become a granddad. You can have grey hairs.
Jealousy.
Where are you going?
Champakulam Kariachan's mother expired. - Oh.
Tell Ashokan to bring the car. - Okay.
I can't solve this problem, Granddad.
This wasn't built according to my plan.
It was my great great granddad's plan. I was born late.
About 300 years late.
I am home, Mom.
Why are you here without any notice, Son?
What happened to your hair? It looks like a rooster's comb.
This is my new hairstyle, Mom.
Mom, this is my Priya.
No. Priya, this is my mom.
Who among you is Priya?
Priya, this is my mom.
Touch her feet.
Dear! - What a nice girl.
Who is she, Son?
Priya works with me.
We got married, Mom.
Things have gone out of hand.
Oh, the dress is also gone.
Oh. - God! Yellow underskirts! - Oh, God!
Did you understand? - Yes. - Hey!
Our son is here.
Didn't you hear what I said? - Yes, I did.
He has brought a girl with him. - Okay.
He said that she is his wife. - Okay.
Are you even listening to me?
He got married!
What kind of a Sari is this?
It's too long.
Shall we cut the rest!
This is not right. - Did it expand in water?
Public stripping! - Who on earth invented Sari?
Didn't you force me to wear a Sari?
I said that to make you look like a woman.
I am a woman. - Then pleat it yourself.
What is a pleat, man?
What is a pleat, man! Pleat!
Don't irritate me!
Look. Do like this.
Like this. One inch width.. - How did you trap her?
Is she a rat to catch using a trap?
He is my sister's son. Useless brat!
His dad is in military.
He stays here so that his studies are not disturbed.
They expect him to learn well. No use at all!
Your selection is super.
But height is a problem.
What?
What is it, you filthy frog?
Who has height problem?
Get lost! Get inside.
Hey! - The hell with height! - I'll be back.
A car!
You bloody cheat!
What the hell is that?
You made me carry the luggage..
A car in my house! - Just shut up.
I won't ask anything of him.
I had decided not to interfere in his life.
I will never interfere in it again.
Isn't he our only son?
Aren't we supposed to correct his mistakes? - Yes.
But whenever I tried, you and my mom turned against me.
Grand mom. - Yes.
Uncle Manu is trying to remove her Sari. - What?
Oh, my God! What is happening here?
I am really tired.
What should I do? - I am done.
I have nothing to do with it.
Dress yourself. - My God!
This is like Gujarathi style..
Mom, on our way..
Priya fell into the water..
Her dress got ruined, right?
Mom..
This is Priya's first visit to Kuttanad. So..
She wanted to enjoy the scenery of this place..
So.. - Really!
Are you mad to enjoy this scenery with such a heavy luggage?
Mom, can she go inside to change..
She came with me as she trusted me.
In such a situation..
You are also a woman. Isn't it?
You can understand the situation. Right?
Mom..
Go inside. There is a small way.
Don't come out once you are in.
Hey! Show my room to her.
Come with me.
I wanted to buy something for you.
Should I call you 'Aunt' or 'ma'am'?
Call me 'Ma'am'.
You don't look like an aunt. - What is your name?
Rahul. - He is a real mischief.
You are more mischievous.
You never thought about your parents.
Let it go.
But if had thought about your grand mom
you would have never done this.
What is wrong in getting married?
Who thinks about grand mom when they get married?
I will give you a tight slap.
She goes to every temple to pray for your bright future.
Lekshmi!
God! Another trouble is on the way.
Champakulam Kariachan's mother expired.
I am going there. - Didn't you tell that once?
If the coconut tree climber comes when I am not here
tell him to pile it in the backyard. - Okay.
The harvest is less this month.
Even if harvest is less, there won't be any rotten ones.
Soil won't cheat.
Our son is here. - Who?
Manu. - I am here. - Hey.
When did you reach? - A while ago.
I hope you are fine.
Did it rain in Mumbai? - Not after I reached there.
Very good.
Not even a weed will grow when you are there.
But I just asked.
Dad. - Yes.
I got married. - Is it?
Very good.
How many kids do you have? - Mom!
What are you saying?
It has been only three months. - That is more than enough for him.
Ashokan. - Yes.
Is the scarecrow ready to place in the field?
No, sir. - There is no need for that.
A new one just arrived.
Even though it is useless, try it.
But do it anyway.
I have to change the style.
Else he will place me in the field.
Great grand mom..
Uncle Manu is here. - Is he?
His wife is with him.
Wife?
He got married.
Dear Goddess! Are you kidding?
Is it really his wife?
He said that. He even undressed her.
Lord Shiva!
What is this Lekshmi? Is it true?
I don't know, Mother-in-law.
Manu brought a girl saying that she is his wife.
Does she belong to our caste? - She is a Nair.
Have you seen her? - Yes, I did.
How does she look? - She is pretty.
How could he do this?
Grand mom!
Are you still alive? Great.
Leave me! Don't talk to me.
You shouldn't have done this to us who always supports you.
Your dad is right.
You have no plan to progress in life.
Grand mom, don't be like this.
Is getting married a sin?
Didn't you both try to marry me off two years back?
It is not the same.
How can parents be happy when their son marries
without informing them?
Why did you go to Mumbai?
You said that you are an engineer and you wish work.
You said that you wished to go abroad.
You said that you will return only after fulfilling your dreams.
And now..
You sound like I resigned from my job and came back.
The truth is, my career benefits the most out of this marriage.
Lekshmi. - Yes.
Are they done with coconut plucking?
Yes. They finished it before 4 p.m.
There it is.
The harvest has decreased.
There were many rotten ones too.
The soil too cheats.
There you go. - Simply!
What I was saying was that
my career benefits the most out of this marriage.
I lost my valuable eight years because of someone.
So, I won't give up.
With this marriage, I will get a quick promotion
which would have taken three years or more.
You have a notion
that I am short-tempered and immature.
You haven't seen my brilliance yet. - What can we say?
'No matter how much you glorify, a monkey is a monkey.'
This was not needed.
I will.. - Be calm. - He is really irritating me.
Grand mom.
I am a 'C' level employee.
I will be promoted to the 'B' level in a month.
There will be a training period for one year.
After that, do you know where they will send me?
United States of America.
Hey, Grand mom.
Hey, Mom.
Let's have fun and I don't care about my dad's coconut and curry.
I'll come back with great swag.
Do you know why? To rescue you all from this hell.
I will take you both to the US.
America is a heaven.
We shall live there peacefully.
If you don't consult a doctor, you will have tuberculosis. - Hey.
'When a constipated person takes a dump, it will be a shit storm.'
Yuck!
He has a filthy tongue. Countryman!
Oh! How can a dad utter these words?
How can he speak such a disgusting language? Too bad..
Hillbillies.
Yes. We are hillbillies.
So we can't accept your lifestyle.
You married a girl to get a job and go to the US.
Hey, we marry someone for a good family life.
Not for.. - Mom.
Even I married her for the same reason.
Hey. Do you know anything about that girl?
Of course.
Priya was born in a well off Nair family.
Her parents are well educated.
They are working in Australia.
Their family is a good match with ours.
She's from there and you're from here. Have you ever thought about
the cultural differences?
Hey, Mom. Priya was born in Kerala.
She studied here till the age of 10 or 12.
They went to Australia later.
What? Is that a cow?
Have you ever milked a cow, Mom?
What about you, Grand mom?
Do you know how to milk a cow?
But Priya knows how to milk. And she has done it too.
Was that her job at Australia?
You're so funny. I'll tickle you to death. - Stop it.
Her parents raised her as a Malayali, Mom.
You should see how NRIs bring up their children.
They'll be strict where necessary.
Else, they'll be like friends.
They're not like the ones here, who shows attitude.
'Attend this wedding. Attend this funeral.'
'Sit here. Sit there. Stand upside down.'
They won't talk like this. Children will have freedom..
Don't you have freedom?
Is that why, even after you brought home
a girl, he didn't throw you out?
But the eight years I lost. - Hey. Shut up.
Don't come up with that again. It's over.
See.. Did I tell anything wrong?
I don't have the freedom to talk in this house.
You shouldn't say that, dear.
Only your mom will accept the girl you brought home.
She's really innocent.
But you betrayed her even though she stood by you at all times.
Grand mom. Well, I..
You will understand your mom's sorrow, only if you remember
what happened here three months ago.
If you keep this, then your eyes won't hurt.
Hey. Do you remember fooling me, back then?
Am I right? - Yes.
Mom. - What? - Grand mom.
Here. I got a job.
That too in India's leading software company, Quadra InfoTech.
They have written that I should join on the 22nd in Mumbai.
At Mumbai? - Yes.
Does your dad know?
I might not get a chance like this again.
I will go on this 22nd even without anyone's consent.
Where are you going on this 22nd?
It's Mr. Thomas' daughter's wedding on the 22nd.
You should go there, instead of me.
Why should I go instead of you, Dad?
I have other commitments that day.
A wedding in Kottayam and a meeting in Chenganassery.
I can't attend that wedding. - Why is that?
I won't be here.
What? - He wants to go to Mumbai.
For what? - I have got a job.
You've been troubling me since the day you were born.
Oh, no. I have got a job in Mumbai.
Look. We have discussed this several times.
If you take care of the agriculture and business.. - Damn.
I have told you several times that I'm not interested in it.
Why did I learn Engineering?
You wanted to, so I let you.
Many Engineering graduates are into agriculture and business.
I want to earn and live.
That's good.
Take care of the business and agriculture
and take any amount as your salary.
Your salary won't even suffice to buy a packet of cigarettes.
Have you started smoking? - Oh, I just said an example.
If he wants to work then why do you force him?
I am also offering him a job.
Haven't you understood him, Lakshmi?
He doesn't need a job. He wants to go to a foreign country.
He thinks it will be heavenly. This job is just a path to achieve it.
Yes. I want to go to a foreign country.
If that's so, you'll be thrown out of this house.
If you're ready to work hard, you can survive anywhere.
Whatever. I will.. I will accept this job.
Hey. If he wants it so much, let him go.
Be silent, Mom.
If you permit his stunts, then you'll have to suffer.
Why are you so adamant?
Can't you let him go?
I am sure.
He will prosper.
No. I don't have any hope.
I value his happiness.
Fine. You must make decisions for him, from now on.
I won't interfere, hereafter.
But one thing is sure.
He will be back like a loser.
Don't come to me crying when that happens.
Hey. - No, Mom.
Don't worry.
I am his son.
Even I'm adamant.
I will come back only after being successful.
I left home that day.
I didn't expect to come back suddenly. - Oh, great.
These were your brilliant ideas.
You didn't do all this on my command.
I wasn't talking to you.
I was talking to myself.
We're fishing in troubled waters, we have to get over with this.
Are you going fishing?
Aren't you calling Uncle Manu and her? - What?
It won't be nice if we don't call them. That girl is innocent.
Go and call them. - Okay.
Hey. I won't talk to that girl.
I'm not interested.
You shouldn't fight with me, as I am not going to talk to her.
Sit, dear.
Yes.
Thank you.
Grand mom.
This is Priya.
This is Priya, Dad.
This is my dad, Priya.
Is he your dad, Manu? - Yes. Don't you feel so?
No.
He's so young. He looks like your elder brother.
But he's very old.
He colours his hair.
He is this boy's granddad.
Where are your parents, dear?
They are in Australia. - Okay. - So that's why uncle fell for her.
Have your parents met him? - No.
Thank God.
Are you not eating, dear?
Actually, I needed a spoon.
Use the spoon in the pickle jar.
Oh, okay. Thank you.
Do you always use a spoon? - Yes.
Actually, when did you both get committed?
Oh, no.
Oh..
Did you bite a chilly? - No. A dog bit me.
Hey. Shut up and eat.
"Shake it.."
Shit.
"Shake it.."
Are you done? - Yes.
"Shake it.."
Well..
Hey. - What? - Why're you lying here?
I was told to sleep here. - Who? - Your mom.
Is it? Mom must have told you to sleep in this room.
This is my bed.
This is where I sleep.
Go and sleep on the floor.
On the floor? - Yes. - Me? - Yes.
I'm your boss. Keep that in mind.
Hello. That's valid only in the office.
This is my house, my room and my bed.
I'm the boss here.
Go and sleep on the floor.
Get lost.
What? Are you sleeping there?
I will..
Get lost..
You bloody pervert.
Was this your real intention?
Is this why you brought me here?
I won't let that happen.
If you touch me, I will kill you.
Oh! I am not interested in you.
I'll touch the things lying on my bed.
You can leave if you don't like me touching you.
Take this and sleep on the floor.
Please go and sleep, ma'am.
Oh! It's so nice. So comfortable.
My bed is so soft.
Manu turned back and found the boss.
To celebrate the leisure time and to be comfortable.
Welcome to Manu's multi-purpose bed.
People sleeping on the floor can participate.
Oh! It's a beautiful experience. It's not an official matter.
I will not tell this to anyone at the office.
Oh, no! I am sorry.
What is it?
What is this? Why didn't you knock at the door?
I forgot that you're here.
I used this as my study room in your absence.
Oh! Is it? You can leave.
Why aren't they sleeping together?
Why are you sleeping on the floor?
There is something wrong in it.
Hey.. Did you come here to peep into our room?
Who will come through the door to peep inside?
Don't try to act smart.
I'll tell this to everyone.
Look at him whimpering.
Grand mom, please come here.
I'll tell everyone that you peeped into our room.
But I didn't see anything.
We were about to start that. Isn't it? - Yes.
How will you start anything if you're sleeping separately.
In which grade are you studying?
What is it? What happened?
Look at this. She is sleeping on the floor.
Why are you sleeping on the floor?
She is having back pain.
Is it? - Yes.
Who asked you to sleep on the floor to get rid of the pain?
I told her.
Stupid! You should have asked me if you don't know anything.
But you are a narcissist.
Your back pain will increase if you sleep on the floor.
You should sleep on a wooden plank to get rid of the pain.
I already know that, Mom.
How can we arrange a wooden plank during this midnight?
It's a wooden cot. Just remove this bed.
Yes, It's true. - It's true.
I'll teach you a lesson. Come out.
Let's take the bed outside, Grand mom.
It's a wooden cot. It is good for your back pain.
You can sleep here. - Mom.. - Okay, Mother-in-law.
I don't have back pain, Mom. I will sleep on this bed.
No. Please learn to adjust for you wife.
Come on! - Okay, Mom.
Good night, Mother-in-law. - Good night.
I got this bed back.
Welcome back to Man's multi-purpose bed. Get up from my bed.
Oh! It's so nice. So comfortable.
Get up and sleep on this cot. - No.
It's my bed.
It's your house and your belongings. Sleep on this cot.
I'll start touching you if you sleep in my bed.
I'll kill you if you try to touch me.
Will you kill me? Let me see how you do it.
Why did you do this?
Don't ever try to mess up with me.
Oh, Lord Cupid!
Please protect my World Trade Centre.
I'll teach you a lesson.
I will make you suffer.
I'll make you cry from tomorrow.
You will cry aloud. - What is it, idiot? - Oh, no.
Damn! I wish I was there to see it.
Why don't you think about my stress?
If Priya and my family gets to know about our plan..
You are finished after that.
It's wonderful when others suffer, right?
Remember one thing.
You should make her feel that you are bringing
her close to the family.
But they should hate her.
It seems easy. But it's not.
I can tell something about you
from what I know about you.
You are really good in playing pranks.
All the best. Start your game.
"Wake up before the dawn, darling."
"You need to complete the household chores, get ready for that."
"You should take care of house and work in the fields."
"Stop staring at others and clean the lawn."
"Wake up before the dawn, darling."
"You should take care of the house and work in the fields."
"You don't know how to work in a farm, my dear."
"But you should collect the crops from the farm within half an hour."
"You better fill the crops inside the warehouse."
"You will not get dinner if you don't finish your work."
"You better fill the crops inside the warehouse."
"You will not get dinner if you don't finish your work."
"Wake up, darling."
"Wake up before the dawn, darling."
"You need to complete the household chores, get ready for that."
"You should take care of the house and work in the fields."
"Stop staring at others and clean the lawn."
"Wake up before the dawn, darling."
"You need to complete the household chores, get ready for that."
"You should take care of the house and work in the fields."
"Stop staring at others and clean the lawn."
What were you trying to do in these past four days?
You are wrong if you are trying to make us love your wife.
You don't need to do this.
She can be herself with us. We will understand that.
If you have any other intention..
I don't have any intention.
You are unpredictable.
I deserve this.
It was not necessary for me to come here.
I came here because you were living in this dirt.
The dirt in Kuttanad is beautiful.
There he is.
It smells better than your perfume.
Please ask your husband to use dirt instead of perfume every day.
It will solve his issues. - You..
I'll teach you a lesson today, bloody nephew.
Don't forget it. - Hey.
Don't tell that to anyone. - Okay.
Keep it as a secret. - Hey!
What is it?
Who is this? - My girlfriend.
Yamini, meet Uncle Manu.
Hi, Uncle. - Uncle?
He is the one who married that Australian woman.
It's just a time pass. Don't misunderstand me.
Please convey my wishes to your wife, Uncle.
Okay.
Bye, Rahul. - Bye, Uncle.
Hey. - Yes. - We will meet tomorrow in this same place at same time.
Okay! - Bye. - Bye.
Do you meet her every day?
What do you mean? - Flirting.
We meet every day to talk to each other.
What is wrong in it?
What? I'll inform this to our family members.
Go and tell them.
Oh, God! Is this the new generation culture?
Hey, stop there.
What is it? What do you want, Uncle Manu?
You should be scared. - Is it?
Is that enough? - No..
Stop there. What is it? - In your pond..
We will tell him later. Come on.
What is happening in our pond?
Is it a mermaid?
Oh! It's Priya.
"She is a sexy lady.."
Go home.
"She is a sexy lady.."
Don't do it. Oh, no!
Please wear some clothes.
Get lost, perverts!
Do you know what happened here?
What happened?
Your daughter-in-law jumped into the pond wearing inners. - What?
The villagers came here to watch her.
Grand mom, it is a swim suit.
Don't utter a word.
What is the difference? The villagers saw her naked.
Damn! She was wearing a short dress.
It's vulgar. - Oh, no!
It was not vulgar.
She looked nice in that suit. - Hey. - Hey.
Don't talk rubbish. Go to your room.
Why are you silent?
Are you dumb?
You are the head of this family.
Didn't you hear what your grandson told you?
What will he become once he grows up?
What can happen?
You need to teach morality to a kid and not to a grown up man.
I'll not try to help anyone.
You were against me when I tried to correct him.
I don't care about him anymore.
Let him do whatever he wish!
Let's stop this! We're going back.
I don't think that I can make your family love me.
Especially that old hag.
Don't talk about my grand mom like that!
Even though she bursts up suddenly
she's good at heart.
Okay.. Cut the crap! We're going back anyway.
Going back? What if the immigration department
approach my family for an enquiry?
Your family believes that I'm your wife.
So, why should we fear an enquiry?
My parents are not completely convinced that you're my wife.
They have some doubts.
So, if some enquiry comes regarding our marriage
my family will enquire the reason behind it.
So, from their instincts and the information
from the immigration department, they'll get to know the truth.
Then, our plans will go in vain.
Won't they support us in such a situation?
That's why I asked you to make them love you.
They might help us if they like you.
Okay.. - Okay..
If your family still has doubts regarding our marriage
that means your ideas have been a total failure.
So, I'm going to try out in my own style.
I'm feeling bored of sitting at home.
So, I need to get out!
Go out? - Yes! Where to?
I don't know. This is your place. You take me out.
"The wind grazes the paddy field of Kuttanad."
"Lake water narrates the story of reaping."
"While giving a sweet kiss.. - At the tip of the golden sickle."
"The seashore where she is.. - Showered with flowers."
"Then her dreams turn colourful.."
"The wind grazes the paddy field of Kuttanad."
"Lake water narrates the story of reaping."
"Are you the cuckoo who sings while the squirrel arrives at the shore?"
"The flowers which bloomed is calling her."
"Are you the cuckoo who sings
" while the squirrel arrives at the shore?"
"The flowers calls her by holding her hands"
"which is filled with colourful bangles"
"He eagerly wants to keep her gently on the branches."
"Through the river filled with green algae"
"the bird sails the boat."
"Through the river filled with green algae"
"the bird sails the boat."
"There was a sound of joy while flapping her wings to the shore."
"The beauty will have her wedding under the cool shade of the tree."
"The wind grazes the paddy field of Kuttanad."
"Lake water narrates the story of reaping."
"While giving a sweet kiss at the tip of the golden sickle."
"The seashore.. - Where she is.."
"Showered with.. - Flowers."
"Then her dreams turn colourful.."
"Wind breezes through the paddy field of Kuttanad."
At a toddy shop? Which toddy shop?
Leave it. They drank, that's what matters.
Did she drink? - Both of them were drunk.
Oh, my God! How can I face others?
For the first time, we lost our dignity
in front of the society. - Damn! Everyone is after me.
'Bad times will spoil our lives.'
I think there's some curse for the house.
It is better to consult with an astrologer.
We don't have to call an astrologer to find the curse. I'll tell you.
We know what you mean.
You always blame him for everything.
So, are you saying that he's doing the right thing?
Can't you understand him?
It is because he's going through a bad phase of his life.
So, you're blaming the bad phase. Not him.
Since you supported him for all his activities, he became like this.
Yes, it's my fault!
Am I the reason why he left this house?
This is why I don't say anything.
We fight each other whenever I say something about him.
'A bad wife kills the freedom. A bad son kills the reputation.'
Don't start a fight.
It depends on his girl.
Some girls are wicked. They can spoil the entire family.
I know that you people doesn't like me.
I may not be able to meet your expectations.
But I will never be a curse to this family.
My parents moved to Australia during my school days.
I lost my childhood because of that.
I grew up without the care of my parents.
They were always busy with their work.
When I met you people here, I thought
that I achieved everything that I lost during my childhood.
But still, a daughter-in-law can never be a daughter.
I apologise for all the problems I've caused to this family.
I just have one request to everyone.
Please don't hate me.
I'll return soon.
Grand mom. I know that you're mad at me.
But please don't curse me.
Dear?
I know that grand mom has hurt you.
Please forgive her.
She won't mind the situation.
If she's angry, she'll burst out.
When you came here all of a sudden
we couldn't accept you.
But we don't hate you.
Grand mom said so because she cares for you.
Don't we get hurt when we hear something bad
about the ones we care about?
Where there is love, there will be quarrelling.
Dear, even though we belong to an older generation
we're forward minded.
New generation people like you might do some mischiefs.
But we have the heart to understand that.
So, we don't care what you did.
Come, Lakshmi. Let her rest.
If you wish to drink
tell grand mom. She drinks a lot. - Oh.
Come.
Whoa! So cute. - Yes.
I think you have liked that place.
Don't you have any plans to return?
There's nothing like that.
But something is holding me back.
Maybe.. I don't know.
How's your husband?
He's here.
But I've some doubts about him.
Something is not right about him.
Why is there a pin-drop silence in this house?
Grand mom might have kicked her out.
But I couldn't hear her scream. Oh, God!
Doesn't he have any wedding functions to attend today?
Can you please wait?
I had been invited to a wedding. - What?
Is it possible for you to attend the wedding?
This is Sony's, isn't it? I am also invited. - Oh.
So is there any problem for you to go?
I will go. - What are you asking?
The groom was Manu's classmate.
He once blamed me for sending him to attend some marriages.
That was different. They were strangers to me..
I just mentioned it since there is no harm in telling.
What if there is.. - What?
Then I will do the harm. - Look at his behaviour..
Is she trying to stay here permanently!
How is the tea? - It is really good.
I think you are an expert. - I will teach you a lesson.
Yes, she is an expert. I have never tasted such a good tea.
Priya's grand mom had taught her. - Oh, old fashioned tea.
Be silent.
Mary.. - Yes!
Is that Rowdy Vasu still in jail?
He is here for the last two months.
Why are such criminals released? - Yes.
He should be jailed forever for their family's sake. - Yes.
Does he still torture his wife? - Yes, he does..
When the clock strikes 6 p.m.
he returns from the toddy shop and starts torturing his wife.
So sad. How cruel he is!
What was the time? - 6 p.m.
Come soon. - Where are we going?
We are going to see the sunset. - I have seen sunset before.
But this is different? - What is special about it?
Normally the sun sets in the sea. But this will happen in a pond.
Sunset in a pond? - Yes.
Three ponds join to form a lake.
And from there the sunset looks very beautiful.
Oh, he has already started his duty.
I feel sad about the women around here. They are helpless.
What happened? - The shoe lace is untied. Go on.
Don't do it. Please.. Mom!
Please don't kill me.. Someone help me!
Leave me! Please..
Hey! Can't you treat women with respect, you asshole?
Nonsense. Why isn't he reacting?
What kind of rowdy is he? Idiot!
Yes!
From today onwards she will stop controlling men.
Don't worry!
Oh God! The situation is getting violent.
Forgive her. She did it accidently. - Go away with her.
Of course.
You idiot! - Oh, no.
Everything has gone out of control. Now you can hit him.
Oh, no.. Not me. Kick him from this side.
Oh, no. Kick from this side. Oh, no.. - Oh, no..
Is he a dinosaur?
Don't be this cruel!
Oh, no.
- Who are you to whack my husband?
Give them what they deserve.
This was something foolish!
Grand mom! Is that you? - Yes. - Where is the grand mom?
I asked him to do it.
He doesn't know how to do it. He'll not do it properly.
Isn't this how we learn things? - Hey!
Dear, drink this. This will reduce the pain inside your body.
You may also drink it. - I have pain outside of my body.
I doubt that some of the whacks were intentional as a revenge.
But why did you go there?
He took me to see the sunset.
Why did you go there? You can see it from our frontage.
Haven't you seen the sunset, ever? - I was not interested.
He forced me to see the sunset in a pond.
And it was you who were thrown into the pond.
What that rascal did to him is forgivable.
But how could he harm a girl?
So don't you care about what he did to me?
But aren't you a guy.
Doesn't men get hurt?
A man gives whacks and never receives it. - Yes.
You should've told him that you are
Thekkepurakkal Prabhakaran Varma's son.
Wait for a minute.
Mom, when a guy is being thrashed, he says only small words
like 'Mom..', 'Don't beat me..', 'No please'.
Instead, we cannot deliver
a speech on our family heritage.
Anyway, I will take revenge on that Vasu.
Mom, ask dad to bring some thugs from Kottayam.
For what? - I need to avenge.
You don't have to. - Are you taking a revenge on me?
I've asked your dad to file a police complaint.
Grand mom, there is no use in doing that.
Vasu doesn't care the police.
We should bribe that SI to thrash Vasu.
He should be hospitalised at least for a month.
I think he has come. - Is it Vasu?
No, it is your dad. - Oh, the rowdy of this family.
How dare you.. - Why are you all torturing me?
Did you go to the police station? - No!
Why didn't you file a complaint? - What complaint?
I don't want to get involved in all the problems he creates.
No one in this family has ever entered a police station.
You always neglect his problems. You behave as if he is your enemy.
Lakshmi! - There is no fault in what she said.
I have felt the same earlier.
My fate. He brought bad luck to me from the moment of his birth.
Has he done anything to make us or the society feel proud?
There will be a loser like him in every family.
God is being cruel to me by giving a son who is of no use.
Useless!
I am sorry. I am very sorry.
I am the reason for all the problems.
No, you are not. I've been facing this for a long time.
Your dad have misunderstood you so much.
They should know that I am the reason for everything.
No, they must never know all this.
At first, they were like strangers to me.
But they are having so much affection to me..
So I can't deceive them.
Hence, I have to tell them the truth.
Priya, what you said is true.
My family has started to love you.
I have always been a disgrace to my family.
They will not bear the pain if they come to know the truth.
We have to separate once.
So, let us leave tomorrow.
No, we should not leave all of a sudden.
Manu, you are very lucky and you have a wonderful family.
Before we leave from here..
All your family problems must be solved.
I love this family.
"I don't know how or what."
"I fell in love with you at some point."
"I fell in love with you."
"I don't know when or where."
"You have captured my soul"
"and conquered everything."
"You have conquered everything."
"I don't know how or what."
"I fell in love with you at some point."
"I fell in love with you."
"The beautiful evening where the leaves begin to shed off"
"came to my dreams as a blooming monsoon."
"I have never experienced this feeling"
"but now you make me dream about it in my thoughts."
"Please don't go, my dear."
"Never leave me till the end."
"I don't know how or what."
"I fell in love with you at some point."
"I don't know when or where."
"You have captured my soul"
"and conquered everything. - You have conquered everything."
Since everything has taken a turn for the good, mom was saying
that you two should get married in our family temple.
I feel the same. - Yes.
I've been thinking about it too.
Our holidays are about to finish. - Yes.
We have some work to do once we reach Mumbai. - Yes.
We'll get married after that.
That's not okay. I'm old.
I wish to see you get married before I die.
I can't wait anymore.
You were planning to leave on the 17th or 18th, right?
Today's is 9th. The wedding date can be fixed on the 15th or 16th.
Why should we hurry. Let's do that later.
You don't have to worry about that. We'll take care of it.
We need to get you married before you leave.
Manu, things are getting very serious now.
How did they know our departure date?
I told them when they asked me.
That was a mistake. We can't change the date now.
I didn't know that they had a different plan.
I swear I didn't know.
Can we come inside?
Come inside, Grand mom.
Look at this, this is the family heirloom and wedding dress.
It is about a 100 years old.
After grand mom's wedding, it became mine.
This is for you now.
You should wear this on your wedding day.
This is what you wear on the first night of your marriage.
I know that your first night might be over, in reality.
But do this for us.
Isn't this our happiness?
I saw the car, where are you?
Hey, I can see you. Look to your left. - What?
Ali told me everything. Soon I rushed here.
This is a matter of life and death for me.
Manu, you really disappointed me.
We had an understanding before you left Bombay.
You can't withdraw at the last minute.
I'm sorry, sir. I can't betray Priya.
Whoa! You have started liking her. Isn't it?
You're in love with her, aren't you?
We don't love each other.
Why are you helping someone who mistreated you?
She is good at heart, even though she is a bit annoying sometimes.
I know her really well.
Matthew, didn't I tell you. She'll do anything to get promoted.
Didn't you hear him? He knows her well.
You changed your mind because she slept with you.
Mind your words.
You can do anything you wish, yet you criticise my friends.
Sir, I agreed to it because I was angry at Priya.
I apologise to you.
Will he get promoted if you apologise to him?
If he deserves the promotion he will get promoted.
I deserve it the most.
What are you afraid of if you really deserve the promotion?
You don't have the right to say anything. You fooled us.
I don't have to answer you.
Sir, I'm sorry. I can't help you.
I have nothing more to say.
I don't want to fight with you.
I want to. You won't be able to help her if you can't walk.
It'll look bad on me if you come all the way to my place
and leave after thrashing me.
Don't..
Priya. - She just left.
How did she go?
She left with some gentleman in a white car.
Is that all, Mr. Arun? - Yes.
Everything is finished. Your job as an advocate is done.
So, please don't try to contact me hereafter.
I don't want my mom to call me either.
Actually, she is here. - What?
Hi, Priya.
Priya.
I know that you hate me. - No. Never.
I never hated you. Because we never loved each other.
I'm your mom.
Please don't ever use that word again.
You don't know the meaning of that word.
I saw a mom here. I now know what a real mom's love is.
Me and your dad couldn't live together.
So, we broke up.
Is that my mistake?
No. I couldn't live with you. So, I had to escape from you.
All I asked you
was never to disturb me again. Dad kept his word.
But you kept calling me saying things about my dad
for the money you would get if I sign on a paper.
You are always after money..
That's what destroyed your life.
So, please. I'm requesting. Leave me alone.
But I'm telling you now. One day you will regret.
What went wrong between your parents?
To be honest, I'm not sure either.
I never felt that their problems were serious.
They were very much in love when we left Kerala 15 years ago.
Things changed soon after we reached Australia.
I know that they were competing
against each other for money and social status.
I got left behind while they continued to do so.
Every family has got problems.
My parents fight often.
Mom will cry for some time.
After some time, you can find them both laughing. That's all.
Things are not like you think, Manu.
I have never seen my parents fight.
Why did they break up?
I've asked myself the same question.
But I think I found the answer here.
Your mom gave me the answer without knowing my problems.
There will be sorrows only where there is love.
They did not love each other.
Aren't you returning to Australia?
I am not willing to.
I want to settle down in India.
I did all this not just
for the promotion, like you think.
In a way
we are rowing the same boat in different directions.
I don't understand why a well-off guy like you
wants to settle abroad.
The living conditions, of course.
It is difficult to live here.
People go abroad to become rich.
If I may say from my small experience
if we have money and are willing to work hard
our nation is the best.
No matter what, we are second grade citizens abroad.
Every country has that problem.
'It is better to reign in hell'
'than being a servant in heaven.'
Do you know such proverbs?
Yes. My grand mom taught me.
My dad uses them too. He makes me go mad every single time.
There he is.
You got in a fight again, didn't you? Who are they?
I don't know. They aren't from here.
Don't you know?
But I know one of them.
Matthew Abraham. Your colleague.
Matthew? Why did he come here?
He won't answer that question.
He didn't bring you here to help you.
It is an agreement between him and Matthew.
Once you promote him
Matthew will take him in to his department.
And he will back out from marrying you.
They got into a fight because he wanted
to go on-site to America atop
of their original deal.
No.. It is a lie.
Don't you try to hide the facts.
Matthew told me everything.
No, Dad. We did not fight for that.
We fought because I told him that I cannot cheat her.
Please don't trust him.
Then whom should I trust?
Should I trust a liar like you?
There is no greater sin than cheating someone
intentionally.
You won't prosper no matter where you go
after cheating her.
I can forgive all that you did until now.
But I cannot forgive this.
Only fruits of hard labour shall last.
Those who try to cheat someone
and take shortcuts to prosper are good-for-nothing cowards!
Yes. I'm useless!
I'm a coward! I'm a cheat!
Who have made me like this?
You did! Who raised me like this without giving me any freedom
since childhood and by monitoring my every move?
It was you!
You tied me to this place
as your helper though I passed engineering with flying colours!
That too for eight years that I should have worked hard!
Who was I to you in reality?
A servant or an assistant?
I escaped from this place to Mumbai.
I worked very hard under her tyranny!
I had to take a shortcut that presented itself.
I didn't bring her here just to cheat her.
It was to see the humiliation and pain that it will inflict on you.
But I will never prosper!
When I got to know her better
I didn't feel like cheating her.
That is why I fought with that moron.
I don't have to convince you about any of this.
Because I hate you so much!
Forgive me, son.
I never knew that you harboured
such hatred towards me.
Since you were my only son
I had high hopes since you were born.
I wanted my son to be with me as a support.
It may sound selfish.
I did not consider your hopes and dreams amidst all that.
That is my mistake.
That was where I failed as a dad.
What you said is right.
I am responsible for your actions.
I am ready to expiate all that.
I may understand why you did
all of this.
But there are two people back home who believe
that you really love them.
I don't know how I will explain this to them.
If they know that you cheated them
they will be disheartened.
All of us loved you a lot.
But we are not lucky enough.
We are not..
Son, I am old.
I am not as courageous like I used to be.
You are my strength.
So I need my Manu back.
Tell me what it is. - Lakshmi.
Mother-in-law, Priya says she is leaving. - What?
Where is Manu? - Don't know.
She is going all alone.
What is the problem, dear?
I am not Manu's wife.
I know that what I did is not forgivable.
In reality, Manu is innocent.
Manu and you became sad because of me.
Forgive me.
I came here to win your hearts and leave.
But I am accepting defeat
in front of your love.
I am going back to Australia.
Tell Manu that I have arranged for the promotion.
Dear. - Say no more, ma'am.
I will feel sad.
I want to leave this house with a smile.
I will never forget you all.
And thank you so much for all the wonderful memories.
Didn't you hear that she is leaving?
Why are you sitting like this? Go there.
I haven't seen her coming here.
So I don't want to see her leave.
Please tell her not to leave.
Who are we to say that?
Where did you go to, Uncle Manu? - To book tickets to Mumbai.
Priya left. - Where to?
To Mumbai.
But why, Priya? Why? What's wrong?
You can come back when you get a new visa.
I'll keep the promotion on hold until then.
I too would like to give it to you.
Thank you for your consideration. I do not need this promotion.
Give it to Matthew instead. I really need a change.
I want to quit. - After reaching such a position
at such a young age.. - I know.
Everyone is going to think that I made a stupid decision.
But I have realised that this is not my thing.
Doesn't everyone have priorities, sir?
For some, it is money. Health for others.
But my priority is family.
Okay. As you wish.
All the best, ma'am. - Thank you very much.
Do invite me for your sister's marriage. - Sure.
Bye, Ali. - Okay. - Bye. - Bye.. - Bye.
You are leaving, aren't you?
Though it was an act, didn't we live like a couple for a while?
Still, you did not say goodbye to me.
My mom told me that you're leaving because you love me.
I don't know if I am worthy or I'm right.
If my mom is right
can't you stay with me?
Do you remember what you said before?
We row the same boat in opposite directions.
For me, your dreams
and hopes.. - You're right.
I used to live in a dream.
There were two things that I did not figure out.
The love of my dad and this nation's greatness.
You made me realise the fact.
Mr. Manu, this is old-fashioned.
Times have changed. Ask that in the Australian style.
Will you marry me?
I'm sorry. I thought only about me.
I can understand. Sorry.
I see! Is this the Australian style?
So shall we go to Kuttanad?
Awesome!
What? - What?
