Where are you, Buddy?
Late as usual?
You fool!
Dumb dodo!
Ananya's getting married!
Arranged marriage?
Yes, parents chose him He's from the US
Skype, chat and the match was made
- Mrs Bhavani, how are you? - Who are you?
It's me, Prabhu
I took you to the cinema last week, remember?
I even danced in the hall for you
Who's this?
The gas supplier?
This is Adi, aunty
Ganapathy uncle's friend...
...Chennai Vasudevan's brother
- He's your new paying guest - Are you his wife?
No, aunty
Who'd marry Adi?
- What's your name again? - Aditya Varadarajan
I'm Vasu's brother
Was the train late?
Buddy was late
I have a few conditions
Vasu anna told me
What did he say?
That you are very strict
I must pay the rent on time Keep the room clean
No late parties, loud music or smoking
Buddy filled me in too
Aunty is a famous Carnatic singer
She knows Tamil so I should watch what I say
It keeps connecting to a wrong number
Try again, Bhavani
What else did Buddy say?
Ananya says Mrs Bhavani is the nice one, you're a grouch
Thanks, Adi!
Happy now? He's a bit hyper
Should I throw you out?
I'm doing this for Vasu
He was my protege at the bank
You have a month's grace
You behave you stay
Else, hit the road
Okay, sir
We're in trouble
The boss sounds furious
Play up the Tamil brotherhood card
Mumbai 20
An Indian game for Indian kids
Are you messing with me?
The game starts in a local train
A killer
A victim
And the player in the middle
The victim falls into the player's hands
The victim has a bag
With a gun inside
A mobile phone
And a torn 500-rupee note
There are two Mumbais
One - Upper Mumbai
Filled with colour, glamour, fashion shows, discos, Bollywood
Stock markets, billionaires, fast cars
Big boats, beautiful girls in bikinis
And the other
Lower Mumbai
Money laundering, contract killing, black money
Opium, drugs
The game starts at the Upper Level
But if you slip and fall
Or pick up that phone, get baited by the dirty cop
Or trace that torn note
Or if the killer traps you
You'll face the master villains
The Twins
Making it back to the Upper Level
That's the game
That’s Mumbai 2.0
You have six weeks
I need a working prototype
Only six weeks
I'm nervous
Do you remember me?
Adi
Tara
How did you guess I was Tamil?
By the choice words you hurled at me at the station
What did you call me?
Darling
Darling?
Didn't sound like that
When you're stressed, the words come out all wrong
Is Ananya your friend?
Collegemate
Now, we work together
She looks pretty
And very happy
It'll be fun for a while Hunky-dory
The wedding and the honeymoon
The hugs and kisses
Love
Lust
Definitely lust
But soon enough
Soon enough?
The small spats
Out with friends, he makes fun of the wife
He gets whipped at home
To top it all, a baby
Wailing non-stop
And puking
And pooping all over
And then
the hoopla of school admissions
Torture the poor kid to study harder
And when he grows up
Get him married and repeat the cycle
Of torture, right?
Absolutely
You know the drill too well Married?
No way! It's not for me
- Marriage is for fools - Touche!
- Only girlfriends then? - Yeah, about 15?
- And you? - I'm going to Paris soon
And?
For further studies Architecture
- And you? - I'm going to be super rich
Like Steve Jobs or Zuckerberg
Wasn't I clear? No late night parties or sneaking in at 3 am
It was Ananya's wedding The poor girl is done for
I'm off to the Municipality Office They've sent me wrong bills
- Extra cash should fix the problem - No bribes I'll handle it in person
I wasn't looking for your approval
There's a concert this evening I want you to take Bhavani
- Me? - Yes, you!
- Not too much sugar? - It's just right, dear
How can I be in two places at one time?
Take her
- I have work - You can leave the office by 6
Why are you following me?
To make sure you're ok
I've lived in Bombay for 23 years I'll be fine
It's Mumbai now, not Bombay
That's why I'm coming with you
But I don't want you to
Ok, I won't
When did they change the name to Mumbai?
Greetings, madam
Greetings
Are you fine, dear?
- Looks like you're a big star - Sure I am
Get out!
Me?
You were snoring right through
Uncouth fellow!
I was sleepy
I've been working round the clock
No excuses
Get out! Uncultured boor
You're over-reacting
Go get off the bus!
Go!
I'm not Ganapathy So stop yelling at me
Now go
Are you going or not?
Tone-deaf fellow
No sense of music or culture
How was the concert?
You're a great man
Almost God-like
Need something, Bhavani?
It's late I have to make dinner
But we've finished dinner
Roasted potatoes
- You made them - Oh, when?
They were spicy and yummy
The pan is grimy
Needs scrubbing
Alzheimer's Early stages
Vasu anna mentioned it
She's aware that something's amiss
That's why the occasional hysteria
How do you manage?
She calls me with such affection the next morning
that it makes it all worth it
What is it?
I could never be like you
Let the pan soak overnight
- I've opened a bank account - At which branch?
- Your friend Srikanth helped - Rs 35,000 gross?
No, after tax deduction I plan to save it all
- If you need more - No
Please don't send money
Don't forget to meet Keshav
'What happened?'
I'll go this weekend Vashi
Got it You gave clear directions
I know I did so, don't call me again for the directions
So, Vashi
Third stop, second right Next to the Punjabi shop
Tell me, bro
Can't get coffee there
Only tea
- Make sure you're early - Battery's dying
Can't hear you
Not again!
It's me
Girl friend no 16
I thought it was no 10
Can we talk? Or is it the wrong time?
Not at all I'm glad you called
I wanted to hear my mother tongue
Is that all the Tamil you know?
Of course not I can quote Thevaaram, Thiruvaasagam
Why are you mumbling? Is someone there?
Ghosts, ghouls, banshees
Tamil ghosts?
No
A fat Hindi ghost
Then we can talk in peace
Shall we meet?
Isn't it a mistake, befriending a Tamil boy so quickly?
Sure it is
But can we make the mistake over a cup of coffee?
It's Saturday, after all Phoenix Mall?
Don't hang up
I have
Good bye to all the Hindi ghosts
Guess who you'll be working with!
The architect, Balakrishna Doshi
The boss wants to see you
Hurry
Where are you?
At the office
Thank God
I'm not waiting at the mall
And if you were?
I would have been furious, ready to kill someone
Would have waited and fumed
And finally given up and called you
Are you still there?
Down two coffees already
Be there in fifteen
Will you wait?
- Sure? - Absolutely!
I'm getting into the lift
I am into it
Pressed '0'
And zooming down
Still zooming
Be there in five
- You've been here the whole time? - I could go back and wait
Is this your idea of a joke?
No Let's get coffee
Shall I wheel the bike and walk with you?
What did you tell the office?
That I'm going out for coffee with a fellow Tamilian
Come...come
Why is that hero after us?
You saw him at the station
That guy?
You tried to stop the train for him?
Just made a scene to grab his attention
He didn't bother, you did
He's following us
So, what's his story?
Started as friends
And out of the blue, he proposed marriage
I refused But he wouldn't give up
- So, you gave in? - No
I figured out why he wanted to marry me
Why?
He asked my friend Ratna about me
About my family and our finances in Coimbatore
He didn't want me
Just my balance sheet
- And? - I agreed to marry him
- You did! - But I said I'd leave home penniless
And that he must fend for me He backed out
I threatened to jump under a train That's when you came
"This crazy heart"
"This frenzied youth"
"This torrent of music"
"Cradled in my sweetheart's arms"
"This crazy heart"
"This frenzied youth"
"This torrent of music"
"Cradled in my sweetheart's arms"
"Yesterday is a thing of the past"
"Who cares what tomorrow brings"
"Here and now, the world is ours"
"For today, we're the king and queen"
"This crazy heart"
"This frenzied youth"
"This torrent of music"
"Cradled in my sweetheart's arms"
"Don't taunt me with your eyes"
"Don't leave without a caress"
"Don't shy away at a mere touch"
"Don't leave even if I let you go"
"A big fat wedding"
"In-laws and marital blues"
"Baby girls and baby boys"
"Oh no, not for me!"
"This crazy heart"
"This frenzied youth"
"This torrent of music"
"Cradled in my sweetheart's arms"
Meet me tomorrow?
Where?
So, when?
How did you get married to Ganapathy uncle?
Ask my Prince Charming here cutting...
- Okra - Ask him
How did you manage to woo aunty?
Don't be shy, Ganapathy
I was from a small town
Missing my Tamil and its culture in Mumbai
One day I went to Bhavani's concert
She was about 20 then
Nineteen
She sang like a dream
Tell them what I looked like
Like a movie star
I didn't miss a single concert
My friend Sounder and I were regulars
Great doctor but tone deaf
He came just to ogle Bhavani
And you listened with your eyes closed?
Sounder wrote Bhavani a letter
Too shy to give it to her
He made me do the honours
But the fool forgot to sign his name
What was I to think?
- That Ganapathy uncle wrote the letter? - Yes
And he was dark and handsome too
They're peeled, dear
And then one day
She took me to her folks, with all the letters
Three months later...
...we were married
Not many second chances in life
You get one, you grab it
What are you doing here?
Where's this train headed?
- Ahmedabad? - But why?
Sight seeing
I should have known
- You do this often? - Sight seeing?
No, stalking girls
Since the day I was born
Really?
- What's the tally? - I don't keep count
I'm sure you haven't been near a girl
May be
How did you manage a ticket?
I didn't
No time
What if you're caught?
Too bad
- Let's go - Don't
Stay here
- They're waiting for me - Why?
- They'll come looking - Let them
Yeah? Fine, let them
What was that old man droning on about?
He's Balakrishna Doshi
Who's that fellow?
My guru
What's your guru saying?
That I shouldn't trust these gamers
My dad used to come here everyday
Does he still come here?
Is he short-fused?
Should I be worried?
He won't come
He's gone
How come?
He decided he was done
And he was gone
Your mom?
In Coimbatore
What happened?
Constant fights
Sometimes violent
Dragged to court
They asked a 7 year-old to choose...
...which parent to live with
I didn't want either
I decided then...
...that I would never marry
Aren't we late for the train?
What do we do now?
How should I know?
The next bus is at 8 a.m
There's a lodge nearby
- For both of us? - Yes
- In the same room? - No
Only one room available
Can you promise to behave?
No way
I'll sleep on the balcony
Do you think I can behave?
Can you?
Sure
That great build up for nothing? What an anti-climax!
- Where's the lodge? - Right here
Adithya Varadarajan?
Don't you know my full name yet?
What's that?
Come here
Come
Say whatever's on your mind
Make it a song
A song?
Yes, sing
Sing Go on
"Fly away with me"
"An unexplored space, a brand new moment"
"My hesitant words"
"An unexplored space, a brand new moment"
"My hesitant words with a pain so sweet"
"An unexplored space"
"A brand new moment My hesitant words..."
"...with a pain so sweet"
"An unexplored space, a brand new moment"
"My hesitant words with a pain so sweet"
"An unexplored space, a brand new moment"
"My hesitant words with a pain so sweet"
"Don't even think of it, go away Don't yearn, go away"
"Fly away with me"
"Don't tease and taunt me so"
"Don't even think of it, go away Don't yearn, go away"
"Let's get drenched without a drop of rain"
"Let's become one, leave our bodies behind"
"Let's float away like drifting clouds"
"Let's meld into the wind and fly away"
"Fly away with me"
Tell me this was your best holiday
This was the best holiday ever
- Did I say it right? - No
Say it like you meant it
You really want me to?
No! Please don't
Ok, darling
I'm your darling?
Yes, darling
Shall I go?
I must go
Say 'Go, darling'
Don't go, darling
Aunty...
This is from our temple
Homemade pickle that your aunt packed for you
Shall we go in?
Where were you?
Project research
Want something to eat from the canteen?
Your friends came back last night
Have you come to spy on me?
Is it wrong to be concerned about my only daughter?
Sounds like an accusation to me
May be
Where did you go?
I was worried
I even called the Commissioner for help
Answer me, Tara
Where were you? With whom?
Do I question you every time you go out?
Do I ask who you are with?
I'll give you one tight slap
Answer me
Where were you?
I went to the ashram
To see the place where dad breathed his last
Enough?
Stop acting like your dad
Come back and take care of the company
Enough with all of your art and architecture!
I'm going to Paris, Ma
On a scholarship
I don't intend coming back
Are you even listening to me?
I'm not interested in the company
How many times do I say it?
Being lenient with you was a big mistake
May be you should just let me be
What?
- What happened in Ahmedabad? - Nothing
Really, nothing
You didn't take the train back with us
You didn't come
As far as I know you didn't come
And you stayed the night there
- So? - Who was it?
Who was it?
Nothing like that
A friend
Don't run away Tell us, Tara
What are you doing here?
Come away with me
Tell them it's a migraine
- Tell them you need the day off - Are you crazy?
I didn't sleep a wink last night
Me neither
Really?
I'm still trembling
- Adi, enough - Enough
Don't come any closer then
I can't help it
No more
If you say so
Is it love?
Why won't you say it then?
What if I say?
I want ice cream
Should I ask my mother to fly in tomorrow?
Why?
To meet you
What for?
So our folks can meet...
...and discuss the engagement
Engagement?
You look scared silly
You had me there for a bit
Marriage and the works
A strict no-no, right?
But you said marriage is for fools
What about Ahmedabad?
And the kiss today?
We pretend it never happened?
What does that mean?
It means of course not!
Right now, we need to leave or I'll be fired
What?
Where are we going?
- To your hostel - Why?
To get you home safely
Why?
I want you safe before I change my mind
And what if you changed your mind?
I'll hold you tight
And?
- Won't let you go - Then?
- I'll kiss you hard - And then?
Might disrobe you
Disrobe me?
Yes
And then?
Go anywhere...
Go to London or Paris
But I'd beg you to stay with me till then
And if you beg me so?
You'd melt with love and...
And?
Drag me in...
And?
Shut the door
And?
I don't know You take it from there
I'll eat you up
Do you really like me?
Loads and loads
But this hostel room is a pain
Do you really like me or just all this?
I like all this...
...but I like you more
Just a wee bit more
A wee bit is good enough
Too much would spell trouble
Listen to me
Isn't all this wrong? This love and lust?
It is a big sin
But we need to keep at it to absolve ourselves
I don't get it
- Can Tara be a paying guest too? - Taravu in Malayalam means "duck"
But where will she stay?
In my room
In your room?
Yes
- So this is Tara? - Yes, Bhavani
What about you?
She'll stay with me
Both of you
In one room?
Yes
Did you get married?
- Oh no! - I don't believe in marriage
Problems in his horoscope?
If we marry, I'll have to go wherever Adi finds work
Why must we always follow the men?
What's she talking about?
I'm going soon
To Paris
And Adi is going to make it big He'll be in the US or UK
Till then?
We want to be together till then
A live-in relationship?
Is it wrong, aunty?
Absolutely!
Ganapathy is too old-fashioned
While driving, even if the indicator is on...
...he still rolls down the window and signals with his hand
Does your brother know?
He'd kill me
This won't work
No way
Can we step out for a minute?
I won't allow it in my house
Please, come out for a minute
Do you sing?
Would you rather we met secretly in shady joints or...
...stay here with your blessings
Blessings to boot?
And what about your brother?
Aunty is unwell
You go and take care here
With Tara here, we could both help
The answer is no I speak for Bhavani too
- You're being difficult like Vasu - Bhavani will never agree
"I pray for flowers, you gift me a garden"
"I plead for water, you give me Nectar"
"I pray for flowers, you gift me a garden"
"I plead for water, you give me Nectar"
"What do I ask for..."
"...so you give in to me?"
"What do I ask for..."
"...so you give in to me?"
"I pray for flowers, you gift me a garden"
"I plead for water, you give me Nectar"
"I pray for flowers..."
"What do I ask for..."
"...so you give in to me?"
"I pray for flowers, you gift me a garden"
"I plead for water, you give me Nectar"
- Sister-in-law is calling - Whose?
Mine obviously
Hello, sister-in-law!
I'm fine
What am I doing?
- Tell her the truth - I'm working
How's my brother?
- And my dear Jaya? - Who is Jaya?
What?
Yes, tell me
Tell me, bro
To the taxi driver?
Which address?
You're here? In Mumbai?
Why?
They're in Mumbai
Yes, Teen Bhavan
In Gamdevi
Near the Opera House
Yes, bro
Do come, Vasu anna It's been ages
We're done for
We're so dead
They're coming straight over
Right now?
Yes! Anna has a conference in town
Why give them the right address? You're such a dodo
Wake up
Where will you go now?
Why should I go?
You're kidding, right?
My brother will go crazy He's a control freak
Shall I hide under the bed?
It won't help My anni will sniff you out
You need to go
- I won't - Get up hurry
I won't
What are you saying?
I won't budge from here
When I meet them, I'll say
'I'm Tara, living in sin with Adi'
And go back to sleep
Oh, no! It's anni
You're here already?
Say second floor It'll buy us 5 minutes
Sweetheart... my love... please get up
Be a darling Please
Get up!
Don't be difficult Don't make me beg
They're just visiting
A bit of hide-n-seek will save us a lot of melodrama
Sweet gooseberry, please get up
- Gooseberry? - Fine, blueberry then
Up!
They're here
Maria!
- How are you? - First class
So, Bill Gates? Have you been good?
No, thanks
- We just had coffee - Have another
Three coffees, please
Look who is here
Mrs Bhavani, remember me?
Is Mr Ganapathy out?
Let me guess He's gone for a walk
Four rounds of the park
Then he buys the papers on the way home
Sweets Mr Ganapathy's favourite
Who are they, Adi?
- Saroja, my sister-in-law - I'm Vasu
I had worked with Ganapathy sir
- Which is your room? - My room?
Right here
You met Saroja at our wedding This is Jaya
This way?
Why not have coffee first?
Bachelor's room
- It's very messy - No need to explain
I have a confession to make
- Some major changes... - Keep it for later
I wanted to tell you
Please wait
Vasu, see how tidy Adi's room is He's not messy like you
What's in here?
No cigarettes stashed anywhere
Not bad, Adi
- You've changed - Thanks to your training
- Why so late, Ganapathy? - I walked an extra round
- A conference in town? - Business Plan Review
They have booked a ticket for me to go
We go back tomorrow
Welcome, Saroja
You're staying with us Don't even think of a hotel
Where are you going?
Then?
Is this what he's been up to since he got here?
Since the day he was born
Bad guys alert!
There!
The bad guys are catching up
Behind you!
We're so dead
Vasu, this is Tara
Ganapathy uncle's niece
My niece?
Yes, your niece
But Ganapathy does not have a niece
I'm Vasu
Mr Ganapathy's junior at the bank
Adi's elder brother
I've seen her before
Did I barge into a family reunion?
Aunty, your CD
Why is she going to your room?
My site drawings are in there
What are they doing there?
Uncle was showing them to me Look under the bed
Come and sit here
- We have one life left - Let's play
I must have left them at the office
Aunty, the house keys
Tara, where do you live?
Me?
Right here
Here?
Where else would she stay?
I told you I've seen her before
She was leaning over and...
I'm late
Help her to an auto
- I'll go - No, it's fine
I’ll come
You never mentioned a niece before
He doesn't have a niece, Vasu
Don't you get it?
A bit slow, are you?
- Just not sharp - He's always been slow
Slow at work too
I’ll go first
Careful
You don't come downstairs
Just take me with you
Tara, a word?
Close the door behind you
Wait
- Adi... - I'm Vasu
- What was I saying? - You were saying goodbye
Teach Jaya some singing or the violin
Sure
And there's more hidden in the bathroom...
What's going on here?
It feels like blackmail
Vasu will bring the house down
- He's a control... - Control freak
You could've talked to Adi
I'm taking the liberty of asking you
Would you consider marrying Tara to Adi?
Would you consider it?
Look
It is not good
If you and Adi marry, I'd be very happy
Or else please leave him alone
Don't get me wrong
But does a marriage document make everything all right?
'It's late! Need 30 minutes to beat the traffic'
'Let's go!'
- A message from Dad - Tell him I'm coming down
Look!
These live-in relationships are disgusting
Completely unacceptable
Careful Mind your head
Goodbye, sir See you, ma'am
Please talk to Tara and her parents and let me know
An email should do
Your sister-in-law knows about us
I'm serious
Really?
How could she know?
She's nosy
I'm sure she doesn't know a thing
She said your brother would go nuts if he knew
You're pulling my leg
She said 'marry Adi or get out of his life'
An ultimatum and a peck on the cheek
And what did you say?
I'm going to Paris and Adi to the US
We don't want to commit to a marriage
You told her that?
Freedom!
Where are we going?
You said you'd follow me to the gates of hell?
- Is that where we're going? - Just follow me
I won't say a word
Is this a gynecology clinic?
Give me a minute, ma'am
What are we doing here?
A test?
For Bhavani aunty?
Go, man
Why does everyone look so bloated?
Hasn't it dawned on my genius as yet?
- Are they all pregnant? - Yes, my love
Our men really are jobless
Is it what I think it is?
How would I know what you're thinking?
The test isn't for Bhavani It's for you
- Are you...? - It's only a test
So, it could be?
May be
Don't look so horrified
- But what if it's that? - What?
What if the test turns out positive?
How should I know?
It feels like the world is collapsing
I thought we had the math all worked out
Tamilian?
Don't try to escape just with this
You should bring her every month
Don't make excuses like my husband
Is the scan done?
I'm waiting on a full bladder
Three more glasses of water Such a pain
But when you see that tiny finger in the scan, it'll all be worth it
Bye, madam
What happened?
See any tiny finger in the scan?
Look for yourself
They're just lines
Looks like a building plan
We're renovating the clinic
That's the blueprint for approval
I was just kidding Were you scared?
What kidding?
I was really scared
Might take 10 days to come out of it
- What is that? - Our game, boss
Who is that?
- The villain - It's you, boss
Do I look like a villain to you guys?
That's the Twins
A good twin and a bald twin
Careful, watch it
Pointing the gun to me?
Will hurl you out of the train
Don’t kill me Save me
Not turned in yet?
No
Too much joy drives sleep away
So does sorrow
I guess it's both for me
My admission to the Paris University is almost through
But it means leaving Adi, right?
It feels like I'm losing something special
Does he know?
What matters more to you? Your career or Adi?
Six months ago, I would've said it's my career
But now I've become greedy
I want both
What's the matter?
Why are you packing?
I'm only packing what's mine
What happened?
I'm leaving
Why?
- You devil! - I'm going out of town
I'll be back in two days
I imagined the worst
The worst?
That maybe you heard about the Dimples and the Sangeethas
Rubbish!
Where are you off to?
To Jaipur with Mr Doshi
I don't like that man
He's 87 years old
Then he should go with an assistant who is 86
Why take my sweetheart?
- This isn't forever, right? - So?
So, no demands on each other
Ok?
But don't go just now
Let me go
I want to snuggle up with my super smart angel
And she wants to run away with a 87 year-old
Let go of me
Get by with your Dimples and Sangeethas till I return
I don't like your Doshi
Or the assistant accompanying him
And I want everyone in Mumbai to know that
"Hey Sinamika"
"See thing Sinamika"
"With you gone, this poem loses meaning"
"Hey Sinamika"
"See thing Sinamika"
"With you gone, this poem loses meaning"
"Don't tear us apart"
"In your downcast eyes"
"In the fall of your dress"
"And that mellifluous voice reserved only for me"
"In your downcast eyes"
"In the fall of your dress"
"And that mellifluous voice reserved only for me"
"In every curve and dip of your lips"
"I know it's love you have for me"
"Hey Sinamika"
"See thing Sinamika"
"With you gone, this poem loses meaning"
Honey, I'm home!
Where are you?
Not a single missed call
- Where's Adi? - Didn't he go with you?
No, he didn't
He hasn't come home in two days
He's out of town
Set the table The food is ready
I'll be back soon
Is Adi with you?
Where could he be?
Unable to reach him
I told him not to hang out at seedy places for his game
Has he got mixed up with the underworld?
Buddy, don't say that
Tara, I'll come with you
What's the matter?
He's been gone two days
I know
In a live-in relationship, one is not owed an explanation
We shouldn't tie each other down
Personal space is important
I'm sure he'll be back
But don't nag him like a wife when he returns
Okay?
- Where are you? - Step out, I'll tell you
Hurry I'm waiting
Where are you?
Forget the lift
It's too slow Take the stairs
What happened?
Where are you?
Walk straight ahead, past the glass doors
I'm going to kill you!
You can hang up now and join me
Where were you?
Won't you sit down?
Why choose such an expensive place?
So you won't make a scene
You left without a word
Not even a phone call
Was it too much effort leaving a note?
Buddy thinks you were with some underworld thugs
Your anni is on a tangent
Ganapathy uncle had no clue
Aunty insisted you were right there, eating dosa
Two whole days, I just couldn't function
I even went to the police
What was I to think?
That's vodka
Not another word!
Where did you go?
- You could never guess - Where?
Coimbatore
Why?
Was it my mother?
Who else?
She sent for me
But why did you have to go?
I refused
But she sent a private jet
I'm a middle-class guy who's never been in one
A compact six-seater
The air-hostess was from Assam Pinky, a tribal beauty
- The pick-up car was an Audi 8 - What did she want?
I got to see the factory, the race cars, the mansion etc
She said it all belongs to Tara
What else did she say?
What did Tara see in you?
So what did you see?
Did she threaten you?
Did she use the Commissioner's name and scare you?
She said I always keep an eye on Tara
She knows you were in Jaipur
So, what will you have? Pasta, pizza, antipasti?
We'll be back tomorrow
I am so livid, furious
- Just pretending to smile - Look at me
Tell me I can hear you
Why are we fighting like a married couple?
Very funny
The whole of Mumbai will know we're fighting
Stand close
Closer
Don't grin, fool
Look angry
Our first fight
I'm uploading it for the world to see
For 48 hours, leave me alone Don't try to reach me
"Don't tear us apart"
"Hey Sinamika"
"See thing Sinamika"
"With you gone, this poem loses meaning"
"Don't tear us apart"
Tara, I'm a die-hard atheist!
I'd promised to bring you here if you came back safe
Mr God would object too
Bad joke
Can't he take a joke?
Is he a grouch?
What happened?
Why are you sitting in the rain?
Not gone home?
What happened?
I can't remember the way
The way home?
- I can't remember the route - To our home?
Come, let's go home
"I pray for flowers, you gift me a garden"
"I plead for water, you give me Nectar"
What did the doctor say?
Listen to your husband and have your meds on time...
...you'll be just fine
Don't lie to me
There's a constant voice screaming in my head
I forget what I start to say
Can't remember places or people
All my music is drifting out the window
How can you say I'll be fine?
He asked you to stay strong
Don't treat me like an idiot
I'm losing my memory...
...not my mind
Alzheimer's
Second stage
Will I end up forgetting you one day?
Greetings to all of you
Greetings
I'm Chandrika, Tara's mother
We've come with a marriage proposal
Hello, bro
How are you?
Log onto 'makemytrip.com' right now
Select Mumbai to Chennai, find the cheapest fare...
...and take the first flight out
What's the matter?
After all I've done to get you where you are...
...you do this!
What's the problem?
A problem called Chandrika
Do you know who that is?
Chandrika Thodi is a raaga
Tara's mother
And who's Tara?
Chandrika's daughter
I'll slap you
Don't try these silly one-liners on me
You told me Tara is Ganapathy's niece
She's like a niece
When you exit the Chennai airport, there's a pharmacy outside
It's owned by a Sikh Buy me BP meds
4 tabs of Concor AM5 and get home
- But Tara is like a niece to Ganapathy... - He is growing old and senile...
...playing the fool along with you
Has Ganapathy become senile?
Vasu, you won't find a better match for your brother
Sorry, sir
I didn't realise you were there
I was just talking
It's the same senile Ganapathy talking to Vasu the fool
Vasu the fool
Go straight to a temple and pray...
...that Tara will marry your brother
That won't be necessary, sir
Her mother is here with the proposal
- Ma! - Stay calm
Why did you talk marriage?
Stay on the line
Hold on
Did I say I wanted to marry?
Why interfere in my life?
Get in
You move in with some guy and should I do nothing?
But you didn't stay out of it
You took him to Coimbatore, bullied and threatened him
Don't bring that up now
I didn't take any one
I did nothing of that sort
I know what you did
I told you, I did no such thing
Didn't you?
That's not the issue now
I had a friend check on Adi when I heard about him
Who's this friend?
The Police Commissioner?
You have your own daughter, you'll know
Was it the Commissioner?
Tara, we've to get down
I just wanted to check on Adi's background
You said you went to Coimbatore? The private jet, the Audi?
I saw it all on Skype
He seems ok
Middle-class family but that's no problem
- Where were you those two days? - How does it matter?
Where were you?
In custody
In a police lock-up?
Did you put Adi in police custody?
- I didn't mean any harm - Answer my question
When I realised you'd chosen well, I met his folks...
...and discussed your marriage That's all
I was picked up on Friday No bail till Monday
I was taken to Arthur Road jail for the weekend
You were in jail?
I had many bigwigs for company
Ma, I'm hanging up now
And on Monday, the Commissioner took me home for breakfast
Yummy aloo paratha with curd and pickle
He became my friend
He promised I'd have no issues with my US visa
Why didn't you tell me my mother did this?
Don't you worry
I got some great inputs in jail for my game
Want to see a demo?
Let's go to my office
No one is here?
No idea
They should be
Come, my boy
The project's been approved by the US firm
I feel awful that you're going away
How will Tara cope?
- My biggest mistake... - What?
Tara
Shall I turn down the US assignment?
Get lost
Can't get myself to leave her
Shall I tell Tara?
Ask him once and he'll be yours for good
Stop the car
- Please stop here - What's wrong?
How much?
70 rupees, sir
Why are you upset?
I'm upset that I can't be like you
You're leaving me in a few days
But you aren't upset at all
You're dancing away happily
Grinding and jiving
Why do I feel like I'm going to a funeral?
Shall I come to the same funeral?
Have you ever thought...
...what if you forget about Paris and stayed right here?
Every minute
I wasn't at all happy that the admission came through
That's why I didn't tell you
Come with me to the US
Can you come with me to Paris?
That's difficult
It's hard for me too
The past six months have been the best in my life yet
Thanks to you
Let's not spoil it
Let's make a pact
What?
- We only have a few days together - Just 10 days
We could cry, fight, argue and be bitter in these 10 days
Or forget the future and live every moment
No fighting for the next 10 days
Whatever it happen
No tears, no sentimental scenes, no melancholy
No one sleeps a wink
We stay awake the whole time
Paint the town red! Do wild things Stay happy
Imagine this is our home
Every room will be a bedroom
A nice big dog
His bark should make you tremble
Children?
Just for a day
We'll adopt a child
We'll call him Obelix
He'll look like a little Sumo wrestler in diapers
And if it's a girl?
The-most-beautiful-one-in-three-worlds
Like you
- What will you do in the US? - I'll go to strip clubs
Rubbish!
- Ask me what I'd be doing - What?
I'd probably be wondering what you're up to...
...and wasting my time
Hear that?
Time is running out
Don't think about it
Only eight days left
Say don't cry Tara
Say it
Don't cry, darling
Ok
I won't
I'm very sleepy
Might blurt something out
Blurt out something nice
No
We've made a pact not to get sentimental
Let's forget that for a moment
Say something, straight from the heart
Ok
Piping hot omelettes would be great now, wouldn't they?
Yummy!
Can you take that chain off?
Remove it quickly
Didn't think you were the gift giving kind
An oversight
Forgive me, darling
You're wiping the slate clean before the final goodbye
Is that it?
Why a gift now, after all these months?
If you don't like it, let's return it
Why fight in front of these pigeons?
A 'goodbye and thank you' message tied neatly in a ribbon
Tara is not angry with me
She won't pick a fight
You're putting an end to the Tara Kalingarayar chapter
She won't snap at me
She'll stay a sweet angel
I'm saying it like it is
You're the one discarding me with a smile
How does it look?
A gift from my man
Isn't it pretty?
I thought we had a pact
I'm not crying
Is that joy streaming down your eyes?
What is it for now?
Look ahead and drive
Don't look at me
Don’t care about my crying
I can still hear you cry
Why are you picking on me? Anything I do bothers you
- That's not what I meant - Sure, you did
Fine, I won't say a word
Ganapathy uncle is making dinner for us
- He asked us to come straight home - Yes, he told me
Don't pick on me at dinner
When did I do that?
I said don't pick on me I didn't say you did
- Why are you picking a fight? - Fine, I won't say a word
I'll checke at downstairs
I'll come with you
Did you see Ganapathy uncle?
Aunty is missing
She must have wandered off
Ganapathyji has gone to look for her
Stop
Slow down
That's not her
- Try calling Ganapathy uncle - His phone was charging at home
We did the mistake
We should've convinced uncle to admit aunty into a hospital
Aunty said no more hospitals
Of course she'd say that
You think uncle would listen to you over aunty's wishes?
She forgets who uncle is at times
How can we take her seriously?
Stay in the car
Handle if police come here
I'll be back
Where has she gone now!
One minute, sir
My wife
Clear the place
It's an emergency
My wife's missing
How can you educated people do like this?
Take the vehicle
Make it fast
Go...go
You need to open it from the inside
- Where did you go? - I was checking the market
- I told you to stay in the car - Can't I look for her too?
What if she was in the market?
Couldn't you wait two minutes?
The cop was yelling at me
You can't handle a cop and you take it out on me
Turn left
- I said left - That's a one way lane
- Then go around - That's what I'm doing, for God's sake!
Why are you snapping at me?
You're leaving anyway
Snap all you want then, but not at me
Thank God for small mercies, I'm leaving
You stupid! Are you blind?
Bring it on!
Just what I need now
Why would you jump out of a moving car?
Someone there looked like Ganapathy uncle
Get in
Shut the door
Don't slam it!
Why are you so mad at me? I am just as worried as you
You jumped out of a moving car recklessly
Do you expect me to cuddle you?
- What if a bus had knocked you over? - But it didn't
What if it had?
Let me get down
- I'll look on my own - And who'll go looking for you?
You're upset I might have got hurt Is that it?
And what happens to your Paris?
If you worry about me, say it
Why shout at me?
Who is shouting?
- Why are you going back home? - To check if she's back
- Is Bhavani aunty back? - Not yet
Stop crying
On bad days, Bhavani aunty forgets who she is
What if she forgets the way home?
Where can we find her?
- Crying won't help us find her - And not crying will?
Leave me alone
But look for her while you're crying
Ok?
Ok
Poor Ganapathy uncle
No one could care for another like he does
That's not true
Do you think he was careless? And that's why aunty is missing?
No
I'm saying there are others like him
Are you speaking for yourself?
Not particularly
Could you be like Ganapathy uncle?
Yes
When I'm old and if I became like Bhavani aunty?
I would care for you
You would?
What are you saying?
I'm saying don't leave me
I'm saying marry me
Go wherever you need to
Paris or London
But marry me and go
Will you?
Look!
- Where is Ganapathy? - He's fine
- Where is Ganapathy? - At home
Come
Ganapathy, where did you go?
I was so worried and scared
I looked everywhere for you
It won't happen again
You said quite a few things in the car
I meant every word
Really?
Truly
You want to marry me?
You don't have to give up your plans
Or Paris
But marry me and go
I'll come to you wherever you are
Are you sure?
Absolutely!
So, marriage it is?
Yes, marriage
Ok, kanmani!
