'It seems he is Krishna He is mentally challenged'
'Avalanchi is a small village near Ooty'
'I found out a Mr Victor owns Emerald chocolate factory'
'He's the only person to know Krishna's story fully'
They took Nila away
I want my Nila
Please wait out...
if he gets too emotional his blood pressure will rise
Who is Nila?
Is Nila his wife?
Or his sister?
Who is Nila?
Hey look there! What's Krishna upto?
Get down
You should be in your home You shouldn't be down
You are such a tiny baby
Why are you so happy?
"I'll soon have a baby of my own A mini girl or boy"
"She or he will ask me to buy many a cuddly toy"
"From today I'll dance and rejoice"
"...in absolute joy!"
"I'll soon have a baby of my own A mini girl or boy"
"She or he will ask me to buy many a cuddly toy"
"From today I'll dance and rejoice"
"...in absolute joy!"
It will take an hour for me to reach Cunnoor
How slow can you be...no fear at all
Relax! Don't be angry Krishna isn't here...that's why
What did he say?
Cat got your tongue?
What is it?
I can't digest it myself
You won't be able to bear it You are better off not knowing
I am better off not knowing?
What did he say?
Where are you going?
I want to see Victor
Aren't you working?
I am having a baby I won't be working
Now that you are here you might as well tell me loud and clear
I am having a baby I won't be working
We must deliver the chocolates in time
Only you can do it, we can't trust these guys
Be a sport
What are you doing here?
Murthy asked me to work
I swear on my wife I didn't ask him to work
He has to be in hospital Why are you delaying him?
I agree totally What are you doing here?
Krishna never lies
Did Bhanu give you a list?
Murthy, drop Krishna in the market when you go for delivery
Buy everything, go to the hospital I'll see you later
What do you have to buy?
"I'll buy kaajal for her twinkling eyes"
"Tiny anklets as a tinkling device"
"Oh! 1 more in my to-do list"
"Why don't I remember what it is?"
"A blue shirt for that pretty face"
"I'll add a pink dress just in case"
"Let me shop till I drop"
"On a horse I'll gallop!"
All for the baby? Nothing for Bhanu?
Oh! You bet Bhanu will get
"An apple to keep the doctor away"
"Horlicks in milk everyday"
"Bhanu, my love so fair"
"Just like my baby I shall care"
"Jeweled necklace like a crown"
"Waist thread to show my baby has grown"
"1 more to tick in my dream list"
"Oh right here...this is it!"
- Is this also for Bhanu? - No, for the baby
"I'll soon have a baby of my own A mini girl or boy"
"She or he will ask me to buy many a cuddly toy"
No need
Hey Krishna Come here
Do you have no brain? You also dance with him
Krishna, should the baby be like the mom or dad?
"Not a carbon copy of her dad"
"...nor like his mom, for I'll be glad"
"...if God decides to add a bit of both mom and dad!!"
"Baby should laugh with joy never be sad"
Is this that beautiful laughter?
What do we get when the baby is born?
"Lots of chocolates shall be my treat"
"Whole of Ooty will enjoy a feast"
"What else shall I add to my wish list?"
"I'll think and tell you what it is"
Okay, what will you do with the baby?
"I'll watch him play...with other kids"
"Tease her...mock fight with counter bids"
"What else will I do...?"
- What will you do? - I'll ask Bhanu and tell you
You won't play with Bhanu?
"Apparently I have to wait for 300 days long"
"It seems the baby has to grow real strong"
"Till then I'll twiddle my thumbs and wait"
"So said the doctor that's my fate!"
Take this with you
- Where are you going? - I'm having a baby
You've got a baby girl
I gave your hand back to you
I am your daddy
Does she look like me or Bhanu?
Where is Bhanu?
Bhanu isn't here
She has to nurse the baby
When will she come? Where has she gone?
She's with God
Take one last look
"Fair moon...silver moon Fluffy cloud here's looking for you"
"Precious image of you asleep on my chest dissolves into a tear so blue"
You are sitting there oblivious to the baby's cries
What should I do?
"My dear life, without you I am not alive today"
- Babies need milk once in 3 hours - Really?!
"Only because of you my heart is shattered, honestly"
"I remember...I reminisce I long for you, my dear"
"I search for your fragrance in the atmosphere"
Take care Don't drop the baby
You go I'll take care her
I won't talk to you
Muruga...Muruga...Iyappa
Why won't you talk? What wrong did he do?
Wasn't March 21st your birthday?
But he wasn't with us Let us not talk to him
We won't talk to you
Why are you crying like a baby?
Not me...baby is crying
Hush! Don't cry
- Baby! Whose baby is this? - Bhanu and me
What is her name?
Sita...Rama...jungle...cuckoo
Don't name her Everyone will call her by that name!
Nila (moon)
Her name is Nila
This is Nila
Daddy
Look up...mummy
She is refusing to eat Tell her, Bhanu
Did you call for me?
I got a complaint
For every kilo there is a shortage of 50 grams in what you delivered
But it was fine when we loaded the stuff
Does that mean you sold them on the way?
I swear on my wife
You can go
Not you
Why do you always swear on your wife?
Why don't you swear on yourself?
1 more complaint like this, you are sacked
- What is the weight of this? - 2 kgs
- When you load them? - Same
- When you deliver them? - Same 2 kgs
Then how can 50gms be less when the load reaches the shops?
Must have melted in this Ooty weather!
Come and sit in front
I am sure you are the culprit
You claimed it thawed in the Ooty sunlight
If our boss gets to know this...
Yeah, you let go of what you should be concentrating on and suspect me!
What did I miss?
They pack the chocolates
I load it in the van
You drive the van
Van leaves the factory
- That's all - Then what?
Baby will cry!
What’s up?
Where are you walking off to?
They pack the chocolates
You load it in the van and I drive it Van leaves the factory
- Then what? - Baby will cry
That's what I plan to check
After the van leaves the factory you said the baby will cry
Why didn't she cry?
You came back, that's why she won't cry
Watch the baby cry now
Why is she gurgling?
Why don't you park to the side? What are you doing here?
What's he saying now?
No, let me not repeat it You'll feel sad
Don't call me names in your language
- Wait - What?
Tangludu!#! @#&**:>\dhaydurr!!!
What did you say?
You didn't understand, right?
You get mad likewise!
Where are Murthy and Murugan?
I said it for your good It's your call
Give me a straight answer
I'm here, sir
Why won't the chocolates be missing if the truck is left unattended?
Did Murthy and Murugan come here?
No
Let me know when they come
What room is this?
Oven?
31-32-33-34-35-36...
Victor has been looking for you I'll let him know you are here
Wait here
Victor, do you know where Murthy is?
- You didn't see me - No, but I saw you now
Tell Victor you didn't see me
It's wrong to lie
It's alright if it's for a good cause
- It's wrong to lie - Don't keep muttering the same dialog
Be clear and loud
It's wrong to lie
Where did you go?
Baby has stopped crying
You are such an idiot How can you suspect our Krishna?
He is so naive How could you suspect him?
Yesterday I got muddled Do you think you can fool me, you thief?
- What's so funny? - I feel sad for you
- Why do you feel sad for me? - Leave it, bro!
Tell me
When 2 people are involved isn't it enough if 1 knows what to do!?
Say ‘daddy’
She called me ‘daddy’, Raji
Look at the way he is calling her Raji so casually in front of you!
Stop obsessing
She just said appa (dad) not Amitabh Bachan?!
Are you all jobless?
Why are you sitting here in this cold listening to him?
Go home and sleep
She called me ‘daddy’
All babies only say ‘ma’ first
- But she did call me daddy! - You are such a nitwit
Raji, it’s getting late Come, let’s go home
- Dad - Don’t go
"This is a dad's lullaby"
"Hearing her 'baby-talk' Mother earth sparkled with greenery"
"Dad doubles as mom, in this endearing phase"
"His doodles designed a masterpiece of grace"
"2 souls unite to become 1"
"Lovingly, he continues...all alone"
"Tear drops plead for a parasol brimming in the eye-space"
"This is a father's lullaby"
"Listening to this child's voice Mother earth painted new scenery"
"Drops of water bonded to be born as rain"
"Though rain did stop trees drizzled again"
"Just a kid even if he's an adult by age"
"Still a child, she takes her mother's image!"
"No other bliss can rival this happiness"
"I sense God only through her eyes"
"Worldly wisdom this unconditional love defies"
"Tear drops urge for an umbrella from the alcove of their eyes"
Why is the tree so tall?
Because its dad is tall, that’s why
Why is the crow so black?
Roaming all day, it gets tanned by the sun
Why is the elephant so big?
It has a HUGE appetite, that's why
Where is mummy?
She is with God
Doesn't God have His own mummy?
Victor says God likes to keep good people by his side
We are not good?
Shall we return their ball?
Do you like this school?
Can I also play if I join this school?
Sure, you can play and study well You'll be a doctor 1 day
Why should I become a doctor?
So that you can take care of your dad
Do you like this?
Krishna...this looks used
Someone's worn it and kept it here
You can't take all this
Which school?
What are you doing here?
If you don't know the school's name, leave now
Give me the money
Take the money
Balance? What about balance Rs 180?

Can I take care of you only after I become a doctor?
Shall we play again?
Krishna is here
Let me see
Nila, what are you drawing?
Why is your page blank?

- Kishore, where's your drawing? - He is not mad
- What's your name? - Nila
- Which class? - Lower kindergarten
Why are you here?
Are you a teacher?
Student?
If I don't finish my home work Ramya miss will scold me
Your mom doesn't help you at home?
I don't have a mummy
- Where is she? - With God
- Daddy? - Daddy...
My dad heads not just this but 18 schools in Tamil Nadu
We have a different approach to education
It isn't enough to be a teacher You must be a parent too
Ramya, I shouldn't see any child standing outside the class room
I can’t get the signal here I’ll come out and talk
I can’t hear you
- What's your name? - Shweta
- What are you doing here? - This is my room
Oh! You have a room?
What do you do?
Just like that
Won't Ramya miss yell at you if you don't do any work?
She won't
If anyone scolds you, come and tell me
We are celebrating 1st anniversary of our school
We will conduct storytelling and poetry recitation competition
Correspondent has said every child should participate!
- Correspondent means? - She is a big teacher
Give me your names and contest names
What?
What's the matter?
I believe a big dinosaur has come to school
- Dinosaur? - One big Miss
- Not correspondent? - Yes
We are supposed to tell rhymes and stories
Will you help me?
What do you want to be taught? Story or rhyme?
Which one do you know?
Both
Then you can yourself tell big dinosaur
Who is big dinosaur?
Small dinosaur is Ramya miss
- Corres... - Correspondent?
Correspondent is the big dinosaur
Children are waiting to be dropped
I'll drop Nila Give the address to my driver
Nila didn't come
Go away
Stop!
Don’t make me run behind you
I've run 4 kms in school and pedaled 8 kms
He's made me sweat even in this cold!
Where is his daughter?
She should have reached long ago
Correspondent said she would drop her
- Why didn't you say this earlier? - I forgot
You dim-witted guy!
Where were you so long?
You could have given me the house key
Her teacher waited and just now left
Not teacher, Shweta
- Is she angry? - Very much
Daddy, will you also leave me like mom?
I will never do that
You were the one who left me
Do you know where all I searched for you?
- Driver's house...school - They didn't tell you?
I believe I must tell a story
That's why it got delayed
Story?
I'll tell you a story But you should come back early
Do you know to tell a story?
- I know plenty of stories - Tell me
I'll tell you tomorrow
But you shouldn't leave me
I feel terrible without you
If I am missing again tell that Nila (moon)
That moon will tell me
What are you doing here without loading the stuff into the van?
Nila has to tell a story in her school
So Krishna has been hassling everyone
- Who is the victim? - You!
How?
I don't know any story to tell
You must tell
He is the root cause for all problems
- I really don’t know - I won't let you go
- Haven't you left for the shops? - Haven't you?
Tell her to tell me a story
You want a story, right? I'll tell you
- Do you know to tell a story? - I do...come
Do you know to tell stories?
I know many stories
But Krishna cannot understand them
As long as either the story teller or listener is expressive, isn't it enough?
Story
How long will you be this way?
Is this a story?
Won't you begin with ‘in a far away land’?
Let us talk about your story
How long can you be single?
You are young and handsome
Fair complexioned
You have a good set of teeth!
Get married, so you and Nila can be taken care of
How can he get married again? Knowing his past story...
Nowadays which girl wants intelligence?
They'll be happy with someone like him
I'll find a suitable wife to take care of you and Nila
But Raji is there to take care
Should I say it loud and clear?!!
Raji is there to take care
Krishna is here
Nila is here
I want to tell you a story
Story?
What story, daddy?
- Which one shall I say? - Story...for what joy?
What if someone steals your story and makes a movie?
Tell her the crow story
Which one shall I tell?
Tell the story of the King! King of Kings!
Tell her the story of Maestro Ilaiyaraja!
I'll tell you a royal story
"In a far away land..."
"...there lived a king"
- Did the king live all by himself? - No, of course!
"He had ministers his yes-men 4"
Side kicks??
"In a land, there lived an emperor!"
"As good as stooges, were his ministers 4!"
"Once there was war in the country"
"In the war everyone fought"
"Once there was war in the country"
"In the war everyone fought"
"Amidst the fight, bombs blasted!"
"Dom! Dom! Dom!"
But why fight?
"Why did the battle begin?"
"Why did the battle even begin?"
The crow stole a fritter...that's why
"War happened suddenly"
"...because crow stole a fritter with its beak"
"Cunning fox asked the crow to sing Do Re Me..."
Crow sang...really?
Oh! The crow can't sing!
Awww...poor crow had nothing!
You think the king will let it go?
"King started to sing off-key Fox dropped the fritter hurriedly"
"Crow said 'thanks, Your Majesty!'"
"Entire kingdom rejoiced happily"
"With his tail tucked in, the fox fled"
"'Long live our king', everyone said"
Long live our king! Long Live His Majesty!
Is this the story of the crow or king?
It's the story of the Crow-King!
Hail our Crow King! Hail our Crow King!
"As a master story teller I think... I ponder"
"Amused, you appreciate in big eyed wonder"
"I have more stories to reel out from my mind"
"For you to hear...applaud...unwind"
"In a land, there lived an emperor!"
"As good as stooges, were his ministers 4!"
Again King’s story?
Oh! Not another King's story!
But this is a different king!
What did this king do?
"His kingdom was troubled by a dinosaur for long"
"So the people complained to the king very strong"
"As Superman, to kill this dinosaur dead"
"...their king should go, they requested"
"Anaconda terrifies the king all the way through"
"After that...a tornado storms on him too"
"Anaconda terrifies the king all the way through"
"After that...a tornado storms on him too"
"Sabre-toothed tiger roars that's what happens next!"
"King creates an uproar tiger subsides...vexed"
Why was the tiger killed? Shouldn't the dinosaur die?
"All the people exclaimed ‘Long live Your Majesty'!"
Okay daddy...I've heard enough
"I tell you tales all through the night"
"You analyze-paralyze wrong and right"
"I have more stories up my sleeve"
"for you to listen, laugh, (dis)believe!!!"
"Once upon a time there was a Highness"
"...listening to this story Nila sleeps in happiness"
I am going to sleep now
Has Nila slept?
"All my stories I repeat"
"Sleepily you listen to this dreamy treat"
"My story has a sequel"
"Just for you audio visual so special"
- Go and bring him - Who are you?
Let me go
When is it Nila (moon)'s turn?
Full Moon comes after No moon!
After No moon I believe
Do you remember everything?
- Should I tell both rhymes? - Just 1 will do
You didn't seem to miss me That's why
- You didn't even tell me? - We are engaged
Do I need permission to see you?
Let’s see
She'll come
Do you want to see Nila? Come, let's go
They just now left How will they come back so soon?!
Daddy!
Come on, tell
Do you know the rhyme?
You go on to the stage
We adults have a lot to learn from these children
Nila and Arun share the first prize
They are calling Nila to take the prize
We invite our correspondent Shweta to give the prize
Ma'am, please come to the stage
Krishna should be the one to be thanked
He has brought up his daughter as innocent as him
Can we leave?
1 minute...we'll come
Shall we go, Krishna?
Who is with Nila?
Let’s leave after a while
Nila's dad, Krishna
Her mom?
Bhanumathy is her name
Where is she?
She died very young
What are you saying?
Good or bad, she should have married someone with sense
He killed her through sheer neglect!
Now this kid is stuck with him like a garland in a monkey's hand!
Wonder when he will kill this child?
No one can eat or sleep in peace thanks to him
What are you saying?!!
I am well aware of the facts
Will you be okay if I drag a girl by her hand and coochey coo her child all the time?
Are you coming now or not?
What happened?
That Nila is...
Shall we see Shweta before we leave?
Let's go
It's Krishna, dad I have seen him in snaps before
Where are you?
Will you wait here? I'll go inside
I'll never call you dinosaur again
Come Nila, let's go home
Nila won't come You can leave
- Why won't she come? - She won't
Daddy
- Nila, let's go home - Dadddddy!
Nila won't come
Get lost
Daddy!
Catch him
I'm going home
- Give me the child - No
Let me go home
Grab him Give me the child
Let go of Krishna
Give me the child
What's happening here?
Are you all uncivilized? Behave like human beings!
Bhanu is my daughter I have searched for her everywhere
I thought she'd be living happily with the man she loved...somewhere
They acted in haste I apologize on their behalf
Krishna and Nila are all that I have left in my daughter's memory
Send them with me
I'll take care of them both
Don’t give him money
This is Krishna's money He earned it rightfully
How can I ever thank you for all that you've done?
You are not taking with you just 1 child but 2
Stop the car
Get down
We've reached...get down
I'll hold her for you
Start the car
Only medicine for Krishna is Nila
What are you doing?
Nila will come
Trust me
I'll take Krishna back with me Admit him in a hospital there
Incidentally or accidentally I am also to blame for Krishna's present condition
Re-uniting Krishna and Nila is my responsibility
I'll take care
Stop here
My client
He'll be here till my case gets over

She's up...go
Where are you going?
- Stop, you shouldn’t go there - Nila is there, let me go see her
Who is this?
Stop there
Nila is up
I want my Nila
Take your hands off
- Get out from here - I want my Nila
Don't you dare hit him Take us to Nila
I am being nice to you because you are a female
I want Nila
Are you deliberately making trouble for me?
You separated a daughter and dad,
...left him on the roads and now claim innocence?
Who are you to question me? How are you connected to him?
I am a lawyer Krishna is innocent
Then file a case in the court Don't create a ruckus here
What did you do?
Habeas corpus Writ petition
They have to bring Nila to the court wherever she may be
Do you know whom we are crossing swords with?
Can we compete with his money or man power?
No, we can't That's why
- Can we meet Mr Rajendran? - Please take a seat
What are you doing here?
When will my daddy come?
You know he's not well
As soon as he gets better he'll be here
When will he get better? When will he come?
Tomorrow
This is your reply everyday When will he really come?
Tomorrow Positively
Sir, someone has come to see you
This is an order from the High court
We came in person since it concerns YOU!
If you let us know how to handle this
Why are you here?
Do you need a lawyer? I am sorry I cannot oblige
Withdraw the case you are handling now
Why? What happened?
You were prepared to meet me in the court
We'll meet there just as you said
There's no justice in the case that you are handling
What's justice?
You broke a lovely home Is that fair?
You separated a dad and his daughter? Is that right?
Do you know the anguish of that affection?
You are asking me about affection?
No one can feel that pain more than me
My eldest daughter never wanted to get married
Social service was her life
When she told me she loved someone
instead of objecting like most dads would do...
I was the one who with great joy told her to bring him home
But she brought home a man like him!
No dad in the world would agree
She chose him over my money, dignity, status, love
Where is she today?
Do you want me to lose Nila too?
You are talking about 1 whose life is over
I am talking of those who are still alive
- Whomever... - We'll discuss the rest in court
I did not come here fearing you or this case
Your case won't hold water even in Supreme court!
This case is not a cake walk, like you think
Law does not support a mentally unstable parent to bring up his or her child
- I am aware - Then why do you want to take up this case?
Neither will we win nor get money On top of it, habeas corpus
I've promised Krishna
I'd get Nila back for him
I don't know if I'll succeed
At least I should make them meet
Krishna is here
If you tell me where Nila is, I'll go find her
What are you doing?
I'm talking to my daddy
Nila said if I talk to this Nila (moon) it will be our messenger
- Did you eat? - No
Come, let's eat
When will Nila come?
When will my daddy come?
Tomorrow you can see Nila during the day
What's the time?
As if you'll understand!
Nila will come I want to see Nila
Even Neil Armstrong who went to the moon wouldn't be so obsessed!
You've been bugging me from last night
Wait, she'll come
What's in the basket?
For Nila Food, biscuit and sweater
Sweater for her too?
Mr Bashyam?!
He can make even a normal guy loony!
Where's the child?
It isn't necessary to bring the child as she is a minor
What do we do now?
You escort Krishna out
Come with me
Who is this new kiddo? I have never seen her before
She used to be a spectator Now she's a lawyer!
Inspite of habeas corpus Nila has not been brought to court
This is a disgrace to our law and justice
A pip squeak 2 cases old is questioning my 20 years experience, My Lord!
If it is so funny why should they be scared to bring the child?
Mr Bashyam, why hasn't the child been brought to court?
My client Mr Rajendran is the child's legal guardian
According to section #7 I submit this petition
When the child's biological father is alive,
how can someone else be her legal guardian?
It's true her father exists But in what state?
What's wrong with him? He is fine
The child's father is mentally retarded
Who told you that?
Who needs to tell?
Have you seen him? Do you have any proof?
He not only disrespects the court but also my petitioner
My petitioner Mr Krishna is just like one of us
He runs a chocolate factory in Ooty
I object strongly to my client being falsely accused
Not sufficient if you grow tall enough to hit your head in the front porch!
The way you piled on objections I almost got a heart attack
Think back to the times we waited endlessly to apprentice as Bashyam's junior?
Like Vino said, he'll make a normal person go nuts!
If they see Krishna our case goes for a toss!
- Will Nila come there? - This is enough!
It wasn't deliberately said
That's what I could think of at that spur of the moment
You could have asked for an adjournment claiming your tummy was cart wheeling!
You've stated the impossible
Shall we get a certificate from the doctor that Anu is unstable?!
I can't think of any other
There's a way if you are willing
You sent a message to him from her number?
With a kiss emoticon
I've been waiting from our college days for this
My job's gone
Anu told me not to work with her
I've been warning you from college days not to befriend her
She's as useless as a pumpkin
Come with me right now I'll ask Bashyam to take you as his junior
I have a lot of clout there
Mr Bashyam doesn't even know his name Snooty scoundrel!
Let me plaster his face with sand
What happened?
I can't leave Anu
Why?
She hasn't paid me for 5 months
Unless we win Nila's case I won't get my salary
It's my responsibility to help you
We will win
If Krishna is mentally challenged as you claim...
...they can't go beyond the 1st hearing
I don't claim It is a fact
It's tough to convert truth into a lie
It's easy to make truth out of truth
Where's Krishna?
Am I the watchman of this house to check who is in and who is out?
Is anyone asking me permission to live here?
I told you, he'd be here
What are you doing here?
Isn't Nila here?
Case is still not over
If anyone sees you here now you will never get Nila
I shouldn't come here?
Do you want Nila or not?
You cannot come here without my knowledge
I won't come here after
Won't just ‘on the way’ do? Why add a suffix ‘dear’?
I can't stand him
What happened?
So long to remove a sweater?
I've been trying for past 2 hours to remove it
He's holding on to it like it's an appendage to his body!
1 last try
Only his brain is weak Rest of his body is strong as an ox
I am such a lion king I couldn't accomplish it
Go man
I am a lion king
- My name is Kris - Don't lift your hand
My name is Krishna, Avalanchi, Ooty Repeat that
You think you are a composer conducting a concert?
So much fuss to pronounce such a simple name as Krishna!
This is our first test
If we convince the examining doctor rest of it is a cake walk
You are way too optimistic!
A normal man should have an IQ above 90
Anything less than that is considered mentally challenged
So Krishna should get 90+ in tomorrow's IQ test
Can't you give us the questions before hand?
Tomorrow's certificate?
We should never lie to a doctor or a lawyer
But a doctor or lawyer can lie!
Who is the person?
He is seated over there
Give me 5 minutes time I'll get organized and then call you
Go and get his details
Tell me your details
Who is the one who came now?
Dr Basheer who will conduct the IQ test now
What about Dr Ramana Rao?
He's flat after drinking some liquor doled out last night
Today he is attending all cases
What can I do?
You arranged everything You have to set right this mess
Serves me right to have helped you! Find someone else
Can we bribe the new doc?
- That's the hassle - Why?
He cannot be tempted He is very straight forward
Any other...
He loves his wife dearly Just like us!
Then you have to surrender
Who are you?
- Mr Bashyam's junior - He sent me
What are you doing?
Mr Bashyam asked me to give you
Give what? What's the matter?
Krishna, a patient will have his IQ tested
You should certify him as mentally challenged with IQ level below 50
That's why I was sent
You think you can buy me with your money?
Do you know who I am?
Whom do you think you are talking to?
Hey! Who let him in?
How dare he pretend to be righteous?
If my boss gets to know this...
This is Mr Bashyam's case Don't get stressed out
If you don't oblige you'll be in a soup
Are you working for the Government or them?
I'll bash you!
Will you give me the certificate or shall I write it myself?
- I dare you to do it - Will you meet Mr Bashyam?
Who the hell is Bashyam? Get up
I am not a puppet on a string for Bashyam to play with?!
Learned advocate has fraudulently submitted a forged document
It is ridiculous that...
...a lawyer with 20 years of experience claims a govt. document to be forged
If that be the case, last year on February 7th
...he produced a document in the divorce case of Kumar and Sandhya
It proclaimed Sandhya to be mentally ill
Is that a fake document?
In 2008, he proclaimed Arul Murthy as mentally ill
in a drunken driving case, involving 4 people
Is that a forged document?
This is the proof
Oh! She beat her teacher hollow!
This is the twist in our tale!
If he agrees to have those cases take an IQ test
I'll agree to have my client tested
Her document can be accepted
My petitioner is a good father
He has brought up Nila for 5 years with tender loving care
He is traumatized now
I humbly request this IQ report be considered
as enough evidence to unite Nila and Krishna
Since the case is still in court,
either in a common place or court premises
I allow Krishna to meet his daughter on Friday for an hour
If Nila comes to court it will be a big fiasco
It will not be an obstacle for us It will be a debacle for them
As long as Krishna is hidden they win
If Krishna comes to court they lose
Their reunion is advantageous to us
What if Nila meets Krishna?
Nila will come to court But she won't meet Krishna
Krishna has to face me and this world
What are you doing?
Nila loves rice mixed with milk
Nila is really blessed
to get a dad like you
I am a good dad?!
What's happening?
Mr Bashyam is here They have come with the child
Waiting to meet Krishna
I'll be there
- How much longer? - We'll be there soon
Looks like an accident Let me go check
How recklessly you drove!
It's Mr Bashyam's men who are creating the traffic jam
I'll bring Krishna
- Come - Come
No, this side
We are going to see Nila
- Do you want any food? - I don’t want
- Call Anu, quick - Muruga, look over there
Anu, bring Krishna to the car park without Mr Bashyam's knowledge
I am Murugan speaking
Krishna and his lawyer are coming to the car park to see Nila
Her assistant is here
We have 2 more minutes
Come soon
It's getting late
Nila will leave
What are you doing?
Let's go
They are heading towards the car park to see Nila
Relax! I'll take care Escort him to the car park
Anu, why are you so late?
- Where's Nila? - They just took her this way
Where have they gone?
- Where is Mr Bashyam? - As per our plan, Krishna...
- Where are they? - They were here just now
Krishna is at the rear entrance
You came to relieve yourself But didn't go in
Yeah! I came to relieve myself But it can wait
I didn't intend to But I can't hold on for long
Mr Bashyam?
I am Murthy, Avalanchi
- We spoke over the phone - Tell me
As per your request I've brought Krishna's friends
They are all as loony as him
If you take them to court, you'll come thumbs up!
Judge will finish this case in our favor in a jiffy!
Be ready at 9:00 A.M tomorrow I'll send a car
For no reason should anyone step out of the room
That Bashyam has an extra long nose and brain
I knew he'd do something crooked like this
We should somehow convince Murthy before day break
Can we call the hotel and find out the room #?
Room may not be booked in their names
Do you expect us to knock on all doors!?!
Just 1 clue
All floors are occupied by tennis players
Others have been allotted rooms only in the 4th floor
So we need to check only the 4th floor
Whoever recognizes Krishna and vice versa they are ‘them’!
- ‘They’ are who? - ‘Them’!
What do you want?
Why do you keep repeating?
Why are you hassled hearing it just twice?
We've heard it 2000 times! Be patient
When the next door opens just check if your friends are in
Don't ask for Nila
Who the hell are you?
Why do you knock at such an unearthly hour?
What are you gaping at? Didn't you knock at my door?
Then, who did?
Not Anu, he did
Didn't you knock? He's asking for you
Why did you disturb me at this time of night for?
- Moon - What?
Little...
Is that so?
That's why...let him go...poor guy
Take good care of him
You should not mention Nila's name Anu, tell him
What's happening here?
- I didn't know how to tackle that guy - Let's ask this waiter
Don't be stupid What if it boomerangs on us?
Mr Sweater won't tell, we don't know the room
I shouldn't ask the waiter, you'll call me a nut-case
Do you think I can be used and thrown?
Search all you want without me
We don't need Vino Let's go
Is it an IPL cricket match for me to give a constant update?
We have to hunt for loonies Very soon I'll go mad
Sit down
Something is fishy Let's leave
Bashyam has kept them hidden somewhere
If only I catch them I'll squeeze them dry
Wrong place to talk over the phone
Giant robots are besieging me
Where are these 2?
Did you see 2 people kind-of-loony?
Not that side
Where did they go?
Why were you standing in the corridor if you came to see a guest?
Not me...she...
We forgot the room #
You could have enquired at the reception
We came to see him
He's gone
Did you see a slightly loony guy walking this way with a lady?
Stop hassling me!
Did you see a slightly loony guy walking this way?
God knows where they have gone!
Looks like our Murthy
Why are you here? Where are the other 2?
Pink cotton candy
Murthy, Big eye Jo, Karthi
Where are you? How long will I hunt for you?
Murthy's going up
There's no one by the name Murthy here
What were you doing in the corridor?
Tell me the truth
Up Down
He's in the lift
He's in the 4th floor
Checked shirt Buck teeth
- He's Murthy - He's going into the room
He's gone into the room He has shut the door
Where did you all go? Where are the other 2?
There are 2 people here claiming to be your guests
- Yes...yes, sir - Your guests?
They are my guests
They are of unsound mind
Keep them with you
Don't open the door whoever knocks
Turn right
Checked shirt Buck teeth
He's forecasting a weather report for a rain that won't shower!
You said they won't come Who is that?
- I told him - Whom did you tell?
Murthy, let them tell only what they have been tutored
Damn! This JCB toothed guy is Murthy
Not that shovel mouthed smarty!
What do we do now?
Do you know Krishna?
Oh yeah! Krishna is my friend
We...Nila...foot ball ground
...we bought pink colored shoes for her
The whole truth and nothing but the truth
After nodding his head like a buffalo he's tongue-tied now
The whole truth...
Truth? Why?
What's this book?
Give the book back to me
I can't swear, go away
- I swear... - I swear
I swear
All these witnesses are Krishna's friends
From 1986 to 2005 they were together in Kotagiri institute for mental health
Required evidence for that is on page #13
What other evidence is needed to confirm Krishna's mental instability?
Those who befriend mentally challenged people need not themselves be mentally unstable!
Our learned counsel is unaware that evidence by these witnesses is null and void
It surprises me
Will you accept evidence by my witness who is of sound mind?
He is a friend of these mentally challenged witnesses
I swear the whole truth and nothing but the truth
Is Krishna your employer?
Krishna is a helper Our manager is Victor
Describe Krishna
Krishna is like a child
- Which means? - A little...
- Of unsound mind - Yes
- Wow! Bashyam is amazing! - Curtain fall for all
- Do you know Bhanumathi? - Very well
Poor girl! She married this Krishna Died prematurely in child birth
For God's sake don't give custody of the child to Krishna
Nila's life will also be an unholy mess!
Mr Murthy, you can leave now
How can you so flippantly ask me to go?
Mr Bashyam has spent so much to bring us here
How can I go without a word to him?
He taught me word by word what to say
I hope I did full justice!
Wow! Bashyam is like Pandora's box!
He made even normal people act abnormal!
I hope I didn't forget any important dialog!
I don't understand
Leave this place right now
He has given me permission to go
"Life is a battle field with its struggle and suffering"
"An anthem let us unite to sing"
"Wearied feet may weep in misery"
"Unslept eyes may eclipse unwillingly"
"Though it is dark and dreary let us fight"
"Just round the next bend sun will radiate its light"
"Dream will come true definitely"
Are you pushing the child?
Who are you? Get out
Why are you standing here? Get out
Where is the watchman?
What are you doing in this play ground?
Stop it!
Are you a genius? Most of you will fail the IQ test
Shall I tell what’s going on, in your homes?
Don't make me wash your dirty linen in public!
Don't we have a life of our own?
Is Nila going to stay with us?
Then...?
After we are married, you'll be with me Why are you obsessed with Nila?
Won't she be with us?
Your dad will take care of her Or else there are plenty of 'homes'
I'll take care of the expenses
My sister was more of a mother to me than my own mom...for her child...
I'm not sure if you will be in my life but there's no life for me without Nila
"There is no path on earth that we cannot follow"
"Rivers don't stop to flow fearing cavities hollow"
"There is not a single day when the sun does not smile in the sky"
"A heart can never sink with the downpour from the eye!"
"House of God has a holy facade with idol inside"
"More sacred are golden hearts where He will surely reside"
"You are the epitome of motherhood of tender loving care"
"Truest heart, no one can compare"
"Wearied feet may weep in misery"
"Unslept eyes may eclipse unwillingly"
"Though it is dark and dreary let us fight"
"Just round the next bend sun will radiate its light"
"Dream will come true definitely"
Krishna is of sound mind
But why is he not coming here?
It's not essential that petitioner has to attend when it's a civil proceeding
He should be here when the defense lawyer needs to cross examine him
At the same time you should know what the child's preference is
Nila should also be here
- To bring a child to court is... - Produce the child in court
We are all here
They might have had a narrow escape so far
Everyone backing him up must answer my questions...not just Krishna!!
What we achieved so far is no big deal
Tomorrow is the D’day for us!
If they ever find out we lied we'll be minus our lawyer robes!
Even we can't face Mr Bashyam's cross examination
Imagine Krishna's plight
I don't think it's a good idea to show Krishna in court tomorrow
I know
Daddy
Thunder...scared
"I see a colored curve in your eyes"
"...that flirts with my eye lids new"
"What report is it weather-wise?"
"Hand in hand, a sun and rain view"
"Within you...I see"
"I perceive"
"my love...my mother in you!"
"I taste defeat, dear"
"I lose...in toto"
"Whatever will happen here?"
"I am in a trance...sheer novelty"
"To my soul...you zoomed in as a mirror"
"You introduced myself to me"
"To my dreams...my sole answer"
"In your eyes I see a rainbow"
"that touches my eye lids aglow"
"What is this new climate?"
"Sun as rain's soul mate!"
"You breezed into my life out of the blue"
"Head to toe you bloomed in me anew"
"Maybe tomorrow you may part from me"
"You'll be a part of my memory"
"Don't you see...street gets lonely after the chariot passes by"
"You baited me with your charm I fell hook line and sinker!"
"Finally now because of you I realize my femininity"
"I falter...waver...flutter...linger"
"My heart doesn't listen to me any longer"
"It criss-crosses into your path, my dear"
Don't worry...just a sprain
I've applied this ointment She'll be fine tomorrow
Please go sleep
Don’t get worked up
Go to bed
I want to see my daddy
But your dad is not well
Why are you lying to me?
My daddy is here
Aren't we here for you? Don't you like me?
You are with your dad Can't I be with mine?
You called for me?
I was wondering how my framework got rattled
Now I know fault lies in the basement!
Did I give you questions to cross examine me?
I wanted to single out the white sheep from the flock of black sheep
This is your phone statement
When I gave you the questions it was 4:00 P.M
You've called Priya promptly at 4:05 P.M and showed your sincerity!
What's the plan?
Krishna will not come to court tomorrow
Krishna has been kidnapped
By whom?
You, sir
That's what we intend telling in the court
So long you took a salary from me but you were on their side
Today you will be on my side!
This is constable Ranga’s house
Come out
Let's go see Nila
In my 20 years of experience how many cases I've witnessed
This is the 1st time I have wanted to see the petitioner face to face
I want Nila
I want to see her
Say this tomorrow in court I'll show your true colors
I had closed all doors I don't know how Krishna went out
Where could he have gone?
He must have gone to see Nila
Krishna knows only this place If he isn't even here...?
How are you here? What are you doing here?
I'm going
Stop...catch him
Watchman...stop him
Catch him
Did you pretend to bring him here? Now you’ve helped him escape?
Don't make me lose face again!
I swear I am not part of this plan
He escaped of his own accord
He cannot think independently
You are the culprit
Please believe me
I am not part of this plan
If he isn't back in an hour here...
What happened, dear?
Where the hell is she? Don't worry, kiddo
Stop for a minute
Where did you go? Your phone is switched off
Krishna is missing!
My mom is sick I have to go now
I must go
Okay, I'll take care You leave
Janaki, his temperature is 103F How could you be so careless?
It's not enough to just give birth to a child
Charity begins at home!
Social service should take a back seat
What's happened?
Now you ask me
This is what will happen if you are a dad when you should be a grand dad!
Where are you going?
He's back, sir
Get this medicine
- Where did you find him? - He himself came back, sir
Paracetamol for fever Tixylix for cough
This is what I just prescribed
Who is this newcomer?
Bashyam, you have an in-house doctor
Don't change doctors just because I reprimanded you
Give this medicine after food for the next 5 days, he'll be fine
Good people face maximum hurdles
But they come out winners
We are ready with all that you wanted Anything else?
Your child...fever
Medicine...thrice a day...after food
Let's submit the petition after the hearing
He won't go anywhere
Tell her
Traitor
My Lord! I request your permission to cross examine the petitioner Krishna
What is your name?
My name is Krishna
Are you unwell?
Any other problem?
Look at me
Then why were you in a mental institution from 1986 to 2005?
My mother told me she was not well
Your mother was unwell, or you?
Your father?
My father went away to be with God
There is no connection between this case and these questions
There is a link, My Lord
The reasons for his stay in a mental institute
...are not his mother's ill health or father's demise
When he was 3, they found out he was mentally challenged
They admitted him in that institute
I've produced evidence already in court
Who is Nila?
My daughter
How old is she?
5
What is she doing?
She goes to school
Which school?
If you can't even pronounce her school's name
...how will you take care of Nila?
I'll be a good dad
How can you take care?
Nila will soon be 10 then 15 years, she'll attain puberty
She'll be 10 years older than you mentally
What will you do then?
- I will... - You will...
- Nila... - Nila...?
- Krishna's mental age is 6 - I am a good dad
Nila is 5 now
When she is 6 years old, how can he, sharing the same age take care of Nila?
Under the guise of questioning learned counsel is threatening my client
I'll take care of Nila
I want Nila
Can you educate Nila the way she aspires?
Can you make her dreams come true?
You can’t understand Can you?
What will Nila be, if she is with you?
How will you make her a doctor?
You can't even remember her school's name
You needed help to get admission for her
What kind of future can you assure Nila?
I'll educate her
How will you make her a doctor?
Can you help her with her assignments?
Can you teach her Arithmetic? Can you clear her doubts in Science?
- Do you know to teach her History? - Tell him
When she's grown up can you behave normally in society like her?
I want Nila
Do you want Nila to suffer like how Bhanumathy did?
Forget making her a doctor Can you make Nila a nurse?
I want Nila
If Nila is with you, you can't take care of her
She has to take care of you!
My client Mr Rajendran is the child’s legal guardian
According to the guardian and wards act
Habeus corpus petition was filed in this court
That is to bring Nila here regarding her illegal custody
Nila is with her grandfather respondent Rajendran
Where did you go?
This habeus corpus was a ploy to distract the court's attention...
...and try rejecting the move to make Rajendran her legal guardian
For this sole reason this petition should be dismissed
Instead of appealing to a higher authority and wasting valuable time
So My Lord, Nila to grow up with Krishna
I have no objections
Neither you nor I am the winner
It is Krishna's unconditional love
For the 1st time I am glad I lost
- It doesn't matter - I had no other go
Krishna is here
Nila is here
She loves her daddy tonnes and gallons
Tell her I am not well if she asks
She will ask
When she wakes up at 7:00 A.M she drinks a huge glass of milk
7:30 A.M is her shower time
8:30 A.M is her breakfast time
She doesn’t like food that’s too spicy
3:00 P.M she is back from school
4:00 P.M is her play time
What have you done?
If Nila is with you, you can't take care of her
She has to take care of you!
Nila should have all the comforts
I can't...
They can...
Nila will one day be a famous doctor
Nila will shine
