Okay.
Hey, leave it.
Hey! Looks like you'll make a chutney of it here itself.
Pick it up and give him.
Take it.
You go home and give it.
Come here, you've another job to do.
Go home, pick up the biggest vessel with carrying handle,

I had it with me, now rotten.
Arputham has it.
No rock or weighing stone, get lost, boy.
Have you come with a vessel too? Get lost!
How dare you ask me that!
He told you to ask and you've come asking for it!
Dirty little rascal!
Go away, boy!
Get lost, boy!
I'll tell your mother and get you a good stick.
- Mother! - What?
Mother! What's rocky weighing stone, mother?
Except your lessons, you ask every other question, go away.
He asked you, right?
Why are you asking the question with everyone?
If my rocky weighing stone was good, why would I be on streets now?
- Sit here without doing any work. - Just vanish away!
Keep it after cutting the stalk,
don't keep it with skin, only then we can sell it for Rs.100.
Why are you pulling elderly man's leg?
Aunty! Why are you supporting him?
What's up, boy? You're carrying a big vessel with handle.
Grandpa told me to get rocky weighing stone in this vessel.
Why such a small vessel? It won't be enough! You need a bigger one!
Eh? What do you say, aunty?
You're right.
- Come here, boy. - Eh?
Look a man going there.
He has a rocky weighing stone to fit into this big vessel.
Go and ask him. Run!
Why are you inviting unnecessary trouble?
Forget it, aunty. He's keeping it unused, right?
Let him give it.
Uncle...uncle...uncle! - What?
- You've got rocky weighing stone? - What?
Rocky weighing stone?
Who told you to ask me?
Grandpa told me to bring rocky weighing stone.
- Eh? - Elderly man!
- Sir...sir... - What?
Is sir inside?
- He's inside. - Can't he keep his mouth shut?
- He's unnecessarily troubling me. - What did he do now?
- He sent a boy to bring rock weighing stone. - Bloody old rascal!
He's asking me.
In this old age, can't he sit in home wearing out his bums?
He should keep quiet in home, but he's going overboard.
I'll ask him.
I'll crush him to death with a stone while he's sleeping.
- You carry on. - How long should I call him?
You can fondle the old man later.
- First finish your job. - I'll come, go.
- Come quickly. - Go...go...
Okay, come.
Grandma, warn him.
I'll ask him, you carry on, son.
If you've it, why not give it to him? Why create a scene here?
Can't you live peacefully at this old age?
Entire village is complaining against you.
Doing strange things!
Hey! Why are you looking at me without studying the lesson?
- Study! - What do you mean by born, sister?
I'm asking you, sister.
I'm telling you, what are you talking there?
- Sister! - I'm coming.
Sister!
B-O-R-N, what do you mean by born, sister?
Sister! Tell me, sister.
Sister!
Stop flicking phone, and answer my question, sister.
Sister!
What's your problem, boy?
B-O-R-N, what do you mean by born, sister?
Oh no! Don't you know that also?
Born means birthday.
You were born, right?
If you've any doubts, ask me.
Sister...sister...
Mother asked me to get coriander powder from you.
Your mother has no other work.
Enough of the class for today.
Go home, let's continue tomorrow. Okay?
Come, let's go.
Hey Kanda, sister!
Yes, why is he sitting here and crying?
Kanda...Kanda...
Kanda!
What's it? What happened? Why are you crying?
Come on, tell me I say!
- Uncle is always hitting me. - Why did he hit you?
What did you do?
I didn't do anything, I asked rocky weighing stone from him.
What is he asking about?
Why are you sneering? Don't you know what it is?
- If I knew, wouldn't I tell you? - Show me your hand, I'll show you.
- Come on, show me I say! - What she's going to do?
Yuck!
Dirty lady!
Dirty woman!
Acting too naive!
As if she saw what she had never seen.
You're seeing it every day, right?
By the way, why did uncle hit you for that?
Elderly man told me to get rocky weighing stone.
I asked uncle and he hit me.
Did you see that old dirty rascal?
Hey, you come with me.
Today, I'll take that old man to task.
Creating trouble for him, are you sleeping peacefully here?
Hey, get water in a vessel.
Hold this.
Bring it fast!
Take it.
How come it is raining on my face only!
Hey! Who did this to me?
Hey, who is it?
Its 22 days since it mated with bull.
Still it is mooing!
Give a good injection for it to get pregnant.
Brother, I'm giving the injection, right? This time it'll surely get pregnant.
Though you've impregnated your wife, but she's not yet pregnant,
if you give a shot of injection to cow, will it get pregnant?
I'll give you colostrum milk.
Have you tasted colostrum milk?
Brother! Go, brother.
Did he get angry for what I said now?
I gave birth to 11 children!
9 children have been reduced to nothing.
For the only one son I gave birth to,
O Karuppa! You've not allowed him to carry on progeny further.
Mother! Why are you lamenting alone?
- Come - Where is your daughter-in-law?
Won't she come out to help you in work?
You're too lenient on her.
Even if I allow her in kitchen, can she prepare delicious dishes?
What am I asking from her? A heir to this family, that's all.
Get her divorced by your son,
why not marry of my daughter as your son's second wife?
Am I asking that's not happening anywhere?
Am I the hurdle in it?
I'll be happy if my granddaughter comes as my daughter-in-law.
You go and ask your brother.
Oh this is too much!
Should you ask him or should I ask him?
You ask your son and tell me.
By the way, is she inside? She may have heard what I said now.
Here she comes, keep quiet.
You eat quickly and go to school.
Please get me some water to wash my hands.
- Am I sitting here without any work? - Okay, mother.
Wait, I'll come.
Give it to me.
If you give her, she'll give generously.
Did you pass in all subjects, sister?
What bothers you? Did you pass all subjects?
I passed, that's why I asked you.
Failed by 2 marks.
Just 2 marks only, sister. Didn't that teacher add to pass?
Aren't you getting late to school?
- You're gossiping here. - Go silently, mother.
Are you not going? Still haven't changed.
I've to go, aunty.
Okay, get ready quickly and come, I'll go ahead.
- I've to write. - Okay, sister, you carry on.
Hey, day before yesterday, you had taken split lentil gram.
today, coriander powder. - She's pinpointing at me.
Wait.
Tell your mother, I told you, got it?
Did we accumulate to give charity to others?
I and my son work hard to make money.
Will you give everything in charity to others?
I'm giving what my husband earns, right?
How can you get husband if I'm not there?
You get angry if I give something.
You argue full throated with me for this.
Only if you had given birth to children, you'd get the idea of saving, right?
Why are you lamenting?
Karuppan has created me to lament only!
For the society to watch fun!
Forget it.
Grandma!
- Take it, dunk it well and eat. - Okay, dear.
What's up, sister? What's grandma saying?
Finding faults only.
I had come to tell you a thing.
When did you've your period?
Period...I think last month 27th... Why did you ask now?
Nothing, you had period on 27th, right?
If you both unite on 14th day after period, you'll definitely have a child as you wish.
14th day means... 1...2...3...4...
4 more days, sister!
4 days only, right? Can't you wait for 4 days?
Oh sister, you're too much!
You're too much!
At least now, will you listen to me?
Oh no...what's it now?
Latch the door, switch off the light and come, I'll listen to you
Don't know what's it this time?
You wanted to say something, right? Go ahead, tell me.
Today morning, your mom went hammer and tongs at me.
Hey, why are you saying your mom?
If I say mom, is it hurting you?
Okay, your mother.
One who had given birth to you.
My lovely adorable mother-in-law!
Is it enough if I address her like this? Will this cool you?
Hey, come on, tell me.
You silly girl! Tell me.
Today morning, Anitha's daughter asked for coriander powder.
I gave her.
Your mother saw this secretly,
and asked me if you and she accumulated wealth for me to give in charity!
Am I so poor not to give coriander powder also?
I said I'm giving from my husband's earnings and walked away.
I can forgive that also.
She used a hurting word for me.
I'm unable to bear it.
I'm lamenting about my hurt feelings, are you sleeping happily?
Okay, don't cry now.
Your mom is asking me what she shouldn't ask me!
She points at me before society as childless woman.
What sins have I committed?
I don't have a child, right?
Okay, leave it.
What if we don't have a child?
- You've me and I've you... - I don't want you.
- Then... - I want only a child.
If you want a child, then, come to me.
- How can you've a child without me? - I don't know all that.
- If you don't know, then, come to me. - I want only a child.
Hey, come I say!
Oh no!
Come I say!
Hey, come!
Silly!
- Leave me. - What?
- Leave me I say! - No way.
- Still 4 more days. - For what?
- Nurse Sister told me. - What did she say?
If we unite on 14th day after period, we'll have child.
No need of all that, trying to escaping with that ruse.
- Leave me. - What?
Leave me I say!
- Hey, what's this? - Sleep silently.
You're saying something, I'll be happy if anything good happens.
Okay, you come.
Sleep silently, please.
- What? - Sleep peacefully.
Silently.
Hey! What do you want now?
You say no for love making and not letting me sleep too.
Go to sleep.
- Grandma! Had food? - Had, son.
- Eh? - Had food, son.
Mother! What are you doing, mother?
Come quickly, I'm getting late, right?
Wait for a minute, son.
Always rushing!
Take it.
Buy a kilo of fish.
Then...
Buy a kilo of palm jaggery.
- Don't buy anything else. - Hubby, please wait for a moment.
Buy good fish, don't buy whatever is dumped there!
- Hubby! - What, Pandi?
- Please come here for a moment. - You go, what does she want?
- Always makes a list, when you leave. - I said come here for a moment.
There's plenty of snacks to eat in home.
Why you are always after her, mother?
What did I say now? You're coming in support of your wife.
Meet your elder sister on the way to ask if she wants anything.
Why are you working hard in hot sun, mother?
It'll be fine if we do like this.
Why didn't you come with son-in-law?
How can I? In fact I'm here without telling him.
Why? You should've come informing him.
He was rushing to market, mother.
I was about to tell him but my mother-in-law intervened to stop me.
She's always like that.
- Go carefully, mother. - She won't change.
Adjust with son-in-law, dear.
How patient I can also be, mother?
You'll not face any difficulties, you'll be fine.
Inform son-in-law, when you get time.
- Why? - Yes.
I've to fulfill a vow in Avudaiyappan temple.
- Let us all go to fulfill it, okay? - Okay...okay.
Won't good happening to us be denied?
Hey!
Hey! What happened to you? Turn this side.
Hey, Pandi!
I said turn this side. Will you turn or not?
What's it now?
Today morning, my mother talked to you, right? What's it now?
Hey, I'm talking to you, why are you ignoring me?
I can't tolerate you anymore.
Indeed.
Why did you turn now?
How did I make you turn?
How did you turn now?
I didn't want to talk to you.
I pity you, so I'm talking to you.
You could've stopped talking to me, right?
Why did you then talk to me?
I've seen it all, right?
How you caress!
Okay, if you want anything to eat, don't ask when my mother with me.
Ask me when I'm alone, I'll buy it for you.
Am I after food?
Look at her!
I called you to tell about going to my mother's home.
Oh! Is that the matter?
How is your mom?
Why are you calling her as mom?
What do you want?
Okay, your mother, one who gave birth to you,
my affectionate mother-in-law,
is that enough? Will it cool you now?
Making fun of me.
When you're free, my mother wants to fulfill vow in Avudaiyappan temple.
If we fulfill our vows, it seems we'll be blessed with child.
So, tell me when you're free.
Let's all go there.
My mother too is visiting temple every month.
Okay, let's go.
But before that, you must fulfill vow given to me first.
- Oh! - What?
Today I'll not listen to you.
- Why? - You must listen to what I say!
What are you going to say?
Lend me your ears.
- Oh no! - What?
Come closer I say!
Hey! Is it so?
Who tells you all this?
I can't reveal it.
Come on, tell me.
- No, I'll not. - Come on, tell me.
Amudha sister told
Oh! That's what you both were talking!
- I've a doubt. - What's it?
Move.
- What are you doing? - Is it?
- Come this side. - How?
Come this side.
This side?
Hey, go this side.
Like this?
- Oh no! Not like this. - Then, how?
- You come here. - You said like this, right?
No way.
Then, how else?
"When can I slip on her hips?"
"When can I slide through the gap"

"Experiencing heaven..."

"When can I slide through the gap?"

Hello aunty!
What's it, brother-in-law?
Last night you told Pandi, right?
It was very fine.
Oh no, brother-in-law. Did you call me for this?
Teach her few more tricks.
Is brother-in-law in Singapore leaving all this?
Hey Pandi! Come here. Scrub my back.
Why don't you call your wife to scrub your back?
As if she'll do it fine.
She'll scrub with some hard rock and leave bloody scars on my back.
Will she do it perfectly like you?
You're too much!
Though getting old, you still want young hands.
That's the food we had as young men.
We too were farmers.
We dumped cow dung and other farm refuse in the backyard.
It made land more fertile, it had life.
You too are farmers but with chemical fertilizers,
you're killing the land,
If you eat what it produces, you won't be able to give new life
If you eat poison, how can it help your health?
All are eating that food to produce children, right?
Only we failed to produce.
Look, don't think I'm accusing you,
looks like a child surviving in a village is going to be difficult.
Oh no! Your back is so dirty!
It may be in kilos!
If it is a kilo, sell it, buy almonds for your husband.
Can't you scrub your back yourself?
Damn it!
If you ask me to do this or that, I'll take you to task.
Didn't know it must come out now?
Where's the money?
- Are you coming from there? - No...why?
No, Gandhi and Chellakannu went to meet village head with 7 or 8 people.
Why? What's the matter?
- Don't you know the matter at all? - What's it?
From next year, you'll get discriminated.
Why?
The honour you get in temple festival, it seems Gandhi wants it in future,
that's why, he's meeting people along with his sidekicks.
Then, if he gets the honour, would I watch the fun mutely?
Why not start from this festival itself?
Let them try doing it.
Look, Gandhi is behind all this.
He's trying to create trouble in village along with his sidekicks.
For now, ignore him, let the festival end.
Is that why, that day...
Can't I ask him to scrub back?
He'll shout on me!
Karuppa! Mariyatha! Accept my prayers.
Hey, come here.
Hey, hold the machete properly.
Pour turmeric water!
Sir, goat has agreed! Shall I sacrifice it?
His goat hasn't agreed yet,
All goats must agree, Slaughtered, only then we can start the festival
If you've a machete, will you sacrifice goat at your will?
Keep quiet.
O Goddess! Why is it not agreeing?
Give permission, O Goddess.
Thank God! It has accepted, Karuppa... it has accepted.
"This is our native place..."
"All are our relatives..."
"We've all joined together to celebrate..."
"Offering pongal to God... We've come to offer prayers..."
"Remove hurdles from life, bless us with prosperity, O Goddess..."
"Bless us with good health, protecting us from diseases, O Mother..."
"Shower rains to the lands that depend on clouds, O Mother..."
"Protect us like eyes, O Mother..."
"Relatives living abroad too come seeking your blessings, O Mother..."
"What else would we seek from you, O Mother..."
"You know what your children need, O Mother..."
"Our Goddess Mariyamma... our Goddess Muthumariyamma..."
"Saviour of this universe, O Mother... Beautiful Goddess Mariyamma..."
"Our Goddess Mariyamma... our Goddess Muthumariyamma..."
"Saviour of this universe, O Mother... Beautiful Goddess Mariyamma..."
"We've all come together..."
"We've come singing and dancing seeking your blessings, O Mother..."
"This festival is enough..."
"We'll all join together to celebrate..."
Sir!
What I'm saying is,
let each family of the village get temple honour every year.
If brother-in-law gets this year, next year, there, let him take it.
Without following that, is it a rule to honor only Pedda Perumal every year?
His argument is valid, right?
But, it is proper only if the tradition is changed with his acceptance, right?
If we tell him in proper... is he here?
If we tell him properly, would he say no to us?
I'll come to the point straight.
This year's festival is completed successfully.
It is tradition to honor Pedda Perumal every year.
It has been followed till this year.
From next year, the temple honor,
What honor?
Does Gandhi wants it?
What's it, Gandhi?
Did I ask for it?
Hey, shut your mouth, man.
You raised the dust in village and sitting here innocently.
I'll finish you.
What? Finish me? I dare you do it now.
Hey, sit down, man.
You must seek to get temple honor, man. Who built this temple?
Was it your great grandfather? It was my great grandfather.
He didn't a penny donation, he built it with his own money.
If they give temple honor to me, would they dare change tradition for you?
Did I ask the honor for myself?
As if he's great man!
- Are you seeking it for the village? - Yes, man.
I did ask for the village.
Elders! Why are you all silent?
He's shouting on me, did I ask it for myself?
Stop it! Why are you both arguing?
Then, is it honor for us to stay here?
Ignoring what others are saying,
if you both get angry and shout on each other? What do you mean by it?
Gandhi didn't ask for himself. This is very old temple,
agreed, your great grandfather built it,
temple honor has been given traditionally to your family,
then, your grandfather, your father, and now you,
the right to temple honor has been given to you,
but this is new temple, though entire village joined to build this,
we've accorded the temple honor to you!
Now, it has been decided by all, the temple honor may be shared equally.
What's wrong in it?
For that, you can't change traditions followed for years.
- Let it remain as it is. - Wait, brother-in-law.
3 day festival was shortened to one day for your convenience, right?
It was fine then, is it paining now?
Hey, talk respectfully.
We didn't change it for our convenience.
You're itching to change tradition, right?
Did you tie the knot with your wife or vice versa?
Ask this with your brother-in-law.
I'll smash your face!
Don't talk as you like, man.
No use of talking to him.
Accord the temple honor to him.
Let's see, how long he would carry it!
Only if he has any children,
he's not worth to give birth to a child also,
- Bloody eunuch wants temple honor! - Who is eunuch, man!
Listen to me
Be patient
Why are you fighting each other?
Son-in-law! Why are you arguing with him? He's not worth it.
- Go, son-in-law. - What to do?
It's always problem in council meeting if he comes.
You come with me.
Even when fighting, they don't fight properly.
Pushing each other like kids.
I told you not to broach this subject.
Do you need this humiliation?
Go home, man!
Brother-in-law, he'll reform only if we thrash him.
Is this enough for him?
He's the rogue trying to spoil people's minds.
Why are you giving up your right for that rogue, brother-in-law?
I too thought of giving up the right.
Why do you want to give up? Why should you give up?
This is our honor, we mustn't give it up so easily.
Come whatsoever it may, I'm there with you as your brother-in-law.
You don't worry.
What great honor!
During festival, they'll tie a turban!
Is that really a honor?
He insulted me among a crowd calling me as eunuch.
That's what I'm unable to bear it.
I too got angry when people supported Gandhi.
So, in an emotional outburst, I was little harsh.
Then, I was about to say get lost, who cares about this honor,
he used that word for me.
If we don't have a child, people do pass comments, right?
You too said that earlier.
Hey, brother-in-law!
Don't take it to heart what I said many days ago.
Brother-in-law, if I give up my right and ask them to do as they like to,
what would they say?
Pedda Perumal is not a man to beget a child.
Wouldn't they say I gave up because I had no choice, right?
The day I've a child, I'll give up that right, brother-in-law.
- What do you say? - That's okay, brother-in-law.
You still remember what I said many days ago!
Already sister took me to task for it, right?
Why do you still talk about it? Forget it.
Think about what we should do now!
You got a bad name in public because of me, right?
Yes.
Hmm...?
If you sleep facing that side, how can we have a child?
Isn't this the day nurse told you about?
- Come. - No!
Hey! What?
Whatever you may do, we'll not have a child!
Find another wife!
Oh! Hey!
Do you think it is not possible?
Wait, I'll come.
As if she's great woman!
I'll come...I'll come...
Do you think I backed off? Wait, I'm coming...coming.
It's cool!
Camphor powder?
Bleaching powder.
Bleaching powder?
Why didn't you iron the shirt?
I'll iron it tomorrow.
Okay...I'll call her.
Hello!
Where are you?
Yeah, I'll come there.
You too come there, okay?
Will you come?
Where? Crossroads? No way, too crowded, people may suspect us.
Moreover mother-in-law's place is also nearby.
Hello!
Hey useless dirty bitch!
Didn't you find any other man in this village?
Did you find only my husband?
Eh? Hello!
Come on, talk to me, bitch!
- I'm talking to you only. - No, I am...
Hello!
- Hello...hello... - I'm Rasu here.
- Hello... - It's a man's voice.
She has a male voice.
Hey, he's Rasu, my brother-in-law.
Rasu brother-in-law?
Got trapped nicely!
- Who is calling at this hour? - Eh? Your brother!
Brother?
No, I heard a female voice.
Son!
Oh no!
Mother is calling, wait a second.
Who could it be at this hour?
Son, open the door quickly.
- There... - What?
What's this stench, son?
Where are you going out now?
- I thought you would be sleeping but... - Tell me, what's it, mother?
Why did you knock the door?
Amudha's husband informed me just now.
It seems bund gave in our farm and water is flowing away.
Go now and close it.
Change this shirt before going out.
Unable to bear the stench.
Don't doze off! I'll come back quickly.
I'll doze off.
Hmm...don't I know about you?
You? Dozing off?
Hey! Who is that?
Hey...hey...who is that?
Hey...leave me!
I'm sitting here, he's ignoring me.
Do you need so much time to close bund?
Where did you go?
I was sporting flowers for you!
Hubby!
- What happened? - Don't shout.
- What happened? - Don't shout, keep quiet.
- What happened? - Come inside.
Tell me I say!
- What happened? - Hey, go inside.
- Mother-in-law! - Come, silently.
Mother-in-law!
Tell me, what happened?
Tell me, what had happened?
How long I've been asking you? Tell me I say!
None other than that Gandhi!
Earlier in council meet... I hit him in council meet, right?
He took revenge now.
To hell with him.
Did you spare him?
Eh? Why didn't you hit him back?
You're a great warrior, right?
I did hit him, I knew it was Gandhi, so I backed off.
I hit him that day, he took revenge now.
If I had hit him again,
it wouldn't end with this fight,
he would come back again and this fight would carry on.
That's why, I kept quiet.
For that, should you leave him so easily?
One who hits isn't only a warrior, one who is patient is also a warrior.
If my mother asks, tell her I fell down.
Don't tell her anything else.
Move, I'll sleep.
Oh God!
You told me to stay awake but you're sleeping now!
Sleep...poor man!
Got hit on face, right? Is it painful?
Sleep...sleep...
Hey, I was hit on face only.
How dare he hits my son!
He was patient!
If not he would've buried him alive.
- Bloody bitch! What a lousy son you have! - Mother, stop!
Tell him to come out!
Why are you shouting here?
- You'll lose your respect. - Does your son has horns?
Mother, leave it...mother...
Get lost!
Mother, come quietly. Will it make it public, mother?
What a question she asked me?
Won't Karuppan bless us with a heir?
- Where are you going again, mother? - Hey, I'll pluck two stems.
Brother-in-law...brother-in-law!
Aunty! Why are you plucking so much curry leaves?
Hey!
From where is she watching me?
Come, let's go out.
Move aside, you silly girl.
Ever since he married you, my family honor has gone to the dogs.
- What did I do? - What have you not done?
What have you not done?
That female asked me an insulting question!
Your son has no heir, how dare you come out to fight!
Do you've the right to come?
Do you've the right to walk on road? That female asked me.
Had you given birth to a child? Would she dare ask me like that?
Would I've allowed her to ask me that?
You'll not give birth to a child!
You'll go from here only throwing this family's honor to dogs.
Go!
Hey, move!
How dare she asks me that question!
What's it, brother?
Won't she pay for it dearly?
She's shouting there!
Fighting horribly
I'll come.
Karuppan is with me!
- Mother! - What? Why are you troubling me?
Will you please allow me to hear it?
- I'm terribly hungry. - Will you die if you skip a meal? Go!
You'll know if I leave today.
You keep on complaining only if I stay here, right?
Hey! Are you going?
Go away once for all, don't ever come back.
Hey! Where are you going?
I'm going to my mother's house, find another bride for your son.
Grandma! Let aunty go away.
- I'll marry uncle. - Say like that!
What did you say now?
Will you marry him?
What's your age?
What are you doing?
- Will you get her married to him? - Go away.
- Look at her face. - Go away from her.
I'll kill you.
We, elders are talking, right? Why do you poke your nose into it?
Look at her face!
- Do you need this thrashing? - So young, but talking too big things.
Why did you hit her for that?
- How arrogant you are... - Pandi!
Sorry!
Did I come at wrong time?
I'm going out of station, so came to say good bye.
Going out of station? Okay, go carefully.
Do you need this? What did I tell you?
Don't stay here when elders are talking, right?
When I and she were talking, why did you interfere?
How she hit you?
Listen to me for a minute.
Hey Pedda!
For today's technology, have a child is not a big deal.
You know that?
You're fighting on streets.
There are so many treatments.
Why do you stress yourselves for this?
If your wife has any problem or say if you've any problem,
Hey! What problem do I've, man? Eh?
Hey you...my dude.
Did I say you've a problem?
Just listen to me carefully.
Your wife has a problem.
You bring her with you, I'll take you both to a good hospital.
What do you say now?
No need hospitals, that will not work out.
What's your problem in taking her to hospital?
I don't have any problem.
She's afraid of hospitals.
I know she'll refuse to come.
I'm ready to go to hospital.
I called him once...
He too said okay...
For safer side, let him also come. I'll talk to him.
Hubby...that Madras couple had come to our home.
They're going to Madras, she was here to say bye.
Did you meet her husband?
Did he talk to you about anything?
He said he's going to Madras.
Why are you asking me?
- Did he talk about anything else? - Nothing else.
Why? Why are you asking me? Did his wife tell you anything?
Nothing...she asked me to come to their home.
Visiting places in Madras,
it seems there are many big hospitals,
if we consult doctors there,
- who has problem... - Who? What problem? To whom?
Hey, tell me.
Oh no, hubby!
I've problem, right?
If we go there and consult doctor, we can have a child, she told me.
Hey Pandi! Look at me,
if we go to hospitals, they'll plunder money for silly reasons,
I don't mind losing money, what if they hurt you in the name of diagnosis?
- You believe in God, right? - Umm...
Your mother has made a vow, right?
Did she say we'll have a child if we fulfill the vow?
Umm...
Then, why not go to temple?
Let's go to temple with our families.
Let's offer prayers there.
We'll be blessed with a child. You believe it, right?
Umm...
We're going to the temple, tell your mother.
Eh? - Umm...
Brother! Come, brother... come, brother.
What?- Check these new born baby dresses, brother.
I'm here to offer prayers for progeny.
Brother, buy dress for child.
Very powerful God, brother.
If you buy dress for baby, you'll be blessed with a baby next year.
- Really? - Very powerful God, brother.
I swear I'm telling truth, brother.
Check all the dresses, brother.
Check it, I'm sure you'll be here with baby next year, brother.
- Do you say so? - Sure, brother.
Give me a bag.
- Is this nice? - Excellent, brother.
Looks like stitched for your baby.
What else, brother?
Pandi! Keep us waiting here, where did son-in-law go?
Mother, he'll be somewhere here only, he'll come now.
- Don't keep quiet, break this coconut. - Break it yourself and eat.
How come you're coming so happily, brother-in-law?
- Is it nice? - What's this?
- Look at this! - For whom so many clothes?
- Tell me, for whom? - For whom?
- Did you buy it for Alai? - For me?
I bought these clothes for my forthcoming child.
Not yet born, he has already brought dresses.
We mustn't buy clothes for forthcoming child.
All of us here to offer prayers believing we'll be blessed with child, right?
- What do speak like that, ma? - I've that belief.
If you don't believe we'll not have child, why did you here to offer prayers then?
Brother-in-law, don't get angry.
Man who sold clothes told me,
Brother, buy these clothes,
you'll surely be blessed with a child this year.
He believes it but you don't believe it, right?
Eh?
Why are you getting so angry, son?
- Brother-in-law... - What's wrong with you, mother?
Can't you keep your mouth shut?
- Hubby...hubby... - Why did you say like that, mother?
Look, he's angry.
Pull it fast and cut it cleanly at base.
How can you tie the cow loose? Tie it tightly.
Why the man is taking so much time?
Is he giving a shot of injection or doing something else?
As many people so many comments.
I'm asking you directly,
who among you both is having problem?
Only if he has a child,
he's not a man to produce a child also.
He's trying to check if medicine is filling up or not in syringe.
Hey, what's this, man?
Look here!
In broad day light, unable to differentiate between cow and bull,
he's trying to give a shot of injection to bull!
Looks like he has gone mad!
Hello, cow is here, trying to give injection to bull, come here, man.
Look like gone mad, cow is here.
Come here, man.
How long should we hold the cow, won't legs pain?
My son! Can you hear me?
Eh? Can you hear me?
Can you hear your dad speaking?
Son!
O my dear son!
When will you come?
My son! When will you come out?
Will you come soon
Will you sleep between mom and dad?
Eh? Will you come out now?
My son, come to me soon
If you come out now, I'll teach you 'Silambam'.
I'll teach you to swim.
I'll teach you to climb palm tree.
You saw that old woman, right?
Holding your male organ will make you piss on her face.
Eh? Will you come out?
Eh? Come out, my dear.
What happened?
What's it, Pandi?
I felt like you were talking alone.
I'm not talking alone
I was talking to our little son.
I was calling him out.
What has happened to you?
Hey, don't cry.
Hey, do you think am I gone mad?
Eh?
- No. - Then? Don't cry.
Pandi...
Our little boy is inside.
Eh?
Looking at your stomach every day,
Come out, my little boy... Come out, my little boy
come out to meet your mother and father,
if we call him out with love,
he'll come.
He's too scared, Pandi.
Entire village is abusing you, right?
Hubby?
Entire village, because of me,
is making fun of you, right?
- Nothing like that - I'm unable to walk on road.
Unable to talk looking at face.
It is hurting me deeply inside.
He's too scared, right?
Tell him, my darling,
don't get scared, dear,
Come to your mother and father
will you come, my dear?
Come to your father, come to your mother,
keep calling him out, Pandi.
He'll come...our son will come to us, Pandi.
Okay?
Okay.
Okay?
- You must call him. - I'll call him.
Call him once.
I'll call him.
My little boy!
Is this the matter?
Will you call him?
I feared something else!
Come on, call him.
I'll call him.
- Eh? Will you call him? - We'll talk tomorrow.
- Will you call him? - You go to sleep.
If we keep calling him, he'll surely come out.
My little boy!
When will you come to us?
When will you come and sleep between mother and father?
I'll take you to Gandhi and show him,
Hey Gandhi...
Isn't he just like me?
Mother, he's coming, ask him.
Please stop for a moment, son.
I need to talk to you.
What do you want to tell me?
Mother wishes only good for you, listen to your mother's advice, brother.
Look son, I'm not like earlier.
My pulse is getting irregular.
I'm very eager to see my grandchildren before I die, son.
If anything happens to me, you're there to cremate me.
If anything happens to you in future...
My son, you need an heir!
Please listen to your mother, son.
What do you want now?
Nothing will happen to you.
You'll die only after caressing your grandson,okay?
I'm already in awkward predicament
Don't add to my woes with your cries.
Don't know when will I be granted that boon?
What do you want me to do?
Marry my granddaughter, son.
If you marry her, she'll bear a child for you.
You'll be fine, my son.
Please listen to me, son.
Brother, marry my daughter.
Sister! Mother is ignorant to say this, you too!
I'm 15 years older than your daughter.
So what, son?
What if there's age difference?
I was also 15 years younger than your father.
Didn't we live together?
Please marry again, son.
What's this? He's walking away without saying anything, mother.
What if he didn't say anything?
He didn't refuse, right?
Let him go.
We've to bring change in him slowly.
- Come...come... - What happened?
- Oh no...oh no... - What happened?
What happened?
Here...here...here only...
What happened? What are you searching?
Hubby...hubby...
Hubby!
What happened to you?
Hubby! What happened to you?
What happened to you?
Tell me, what has happened to you?
Eh?
What happened?
Marry granddaughter, son. Listen to me, son.
- I'm advising for your good only. - Mother!
Why are you harping on the same thing ignorantly?
What happiness did you enjoy by marrying this girl?
If you marry her, at least she'll give you a heir.
- Hubby! - Eh?
Please come here for a minute.
I'm talking to you, son. You're walking away.
What? Why did you call me now?
I'll suggest something, you mustn't get angry.
What?
We're married for 5 years now.
Till now, we've no child.
Can we've children in future?
Hey!
I don't have any hope.
You marry again.
That's my mother's idea. Don't take her words seriously.
I'm not saying this because your mother and sister said it.
I've taken decision after thinking about it,
you marry again, have a child and give it o me,
I'll take good care of it. Eh?
Entire village passed comments on us for being childless.
That's why I'm telling you.
You marry again, I'll go back to my mother's place.
Whenever you feel like, you can visit me there.
I too wish to bear a child for you.
But, I'm not fortunate enough.
If you beget a child, do you know how happy I would be?
Your child...no...no...my child,
my husband's child,
I'm eager to carry it in my hands.
Eh...marry again, please.
What are you thinking?
Say yes, hubby.
- Oh no! - Okay.
If you are fine with it...
Oh my God!
What am I to tell you?
How am I to tell?
Mother!
What's this elegy for? Tell me.
Her mother is dead, son.
Mother, come.
Send a word to all our relatives
(elegy)
All men move out, let women stay to give bath to the body.
Mother!
How long will they cry?
Why don't finish the rituals quickly? Go home take bath, eat and sleep.
If you want, sleep next to the body.
Come, let's sleep together with it.
Hey, I'm from mourning family!
If you're a family man. am l a loner?
Look at your damn face! Monkey with a beard.
Near and dear ones have seen the face, right?
Come on, lift it.
Lift it, getting dark.
Pandi!
Pandi, come, let's go home.
Hey Pandi! Come, let's go to our home.
- I'm not coming. - Not coming?
You go, hereafter this is my home.
I'll stay here only.
You marry again and live happily.
I'm telling this happily.
Mother forgot keys here.
Hey...Pandi!
I've taken a decision.
Though I'm not interested, I agree for you.
You told me, right?
If we go to hospital, if we've any problem,
they'll treat and help us to have a child, right?
Let's go to hospital, okay?
I can't go to Madras, let's go to Madurai.
Just 2 hours journey only.
But keep it secret from everyone.
If you agree to this, I'll come.
Okay?
What? Okay?
Umm...
Pandi!
Hey, Pandi!
Shouldn't we go to hospital? You're still in bed.
Get up!
Hey, Pandi! Get up! We need to go out, right?
Oh no, getting late.
Give me 10 minutes. I'll get ready.
- Okay...Pandi... - Hmm...?
I'll go ahead and stand in town, you come little later, okay?
If my mother asks anything, tell her some reason.
Umm...
Get up and get ready quickly.
Sleepy girl!
- Did anyone in our village see you? - No...no one saw me.
Everything is lying as it is.
She went out, did she at least water the cows?
Hey Pottu!
Your daughter-in-law was rushing out, where is she going?
It seems there's no one to rule over London,
so, she has gone to London to rule over it.
Don't know where did she go?
If she had told me, I too would've joined to rule over London, right?
Go inside.
- Tell me. - Sister.
- Tell me. - I need to see the doctor.
Name? - Pandi.
- Tell me your age? - 27.
Have you visited this hospital earlier?
No sister, this is the first time.
Okay, sit there, we'll call you.
- Which place? - Mavidathukottai.
Wait here, doctor will come.
Why are you indifferent?
Nothing, newly married couple is here.
Surprised, that's all, nothing else.
Look at the man before you.
Umm...?
How come so old people too have come?
They too have come here.
Pandi!
Come.
Come in.
Please take your seat.
Tell me.
Doctor, my name is Pandi.
- We've been married for 5 years now. - Okay.
We don't have a child yet, doctor.
Did you get any treatment in any other hospital?
- No, doctor. - Why not?
That is...
Okay, we need to do few tests on you both.
We can start the treatment after seeing the reports.
I'll write for lab tests.
- You... - Doctor!
- Do we've a chance to bear child? - You do have plenty of chances.
- You don't worry. - Okay.
Please go inside.
You too!
There's washroom inside, take this, collect in it.
What should I collect in it?
Didn't doctor tell you anything?
He didn't tell us anything.
Collect your semen, if you need help, take her with you.
Don't you've sense? Will you tell this so openly?
Is this how a girl will talk to a man?
Where are you coming from? I'll tell your father.
That's why, I said I'll not come here.
- Hey, come, let's go. - Go, I said what sir told me.
If you want talk to sir and go.
Hubby!
That's why I said I'll not come here.
How can a girl talk to a man like this?
That too in your presence.
For this crap, I don't like to come here.
What we don't want to do, they'll make us do it.
Shucks!
She said another thing too, you go inside...
You help him.
I'll wait outside, tell her to come inside.
Shucks!
Hubby, we've come this far.
For a baby, right?
Hubby!
Okay, forget it. Let's go.
Go.
That girl will wait outside imagining what we would be doing inside, right?
- No, nothing like that. - Go and see.
I saw outside.
She'll not be here, you go inside.
- You silly woman. - Please go inside.
What happened?
I can't...it's not coming.
Shall I come inside with you?
- Is it our home? Go out - Nobody will come and see
Done?
Go and see her.
What happened?
Coming, sister.
Hubby...hubby...go patiently.
Hubby!
Your wife went out, did she inform you?
Why? Didn't she tell you?
I'm asking you, are you asking me?
Very nice!
She's going out, where she's going? When she'll come back?
Did she tell me before going out?
Would I say no to her?
If I ask her, she'll make faces.
Ask her yourself.
Won't you tell my mother if you go out?
Why? You know where I went, right?
I know it but you should've told my mother, right?
Hereafter inform her before going out, okay?
Okay?
You asked so many questions, did she answer any question?
She's so arrogant and proud.
Okay, leave it, I asked her, right? Then, what?
Then, you tell me. Where did she go?
What's this, mother? Will you add so much sugar in tea?
Can any human drink it? Drink it yourself.
I'm asking you, son. Answer me, son.
Hey!
Thank God!
Managed it somehow.
Hey Pandi...hey...
Why that long face?
Hey, I'm asking you.
Why that long face?
Ever since I entered this house, did I ever go against your mother?
Why your mother is always after me?
Her character is like that, don't you know that?
Okay, forget it.
You're responsible for everything.
You both fight always and put me under pressure.
I said let's tell them and go to hospital, right?
You said no.
Now, you both have joined to abuse me.
Why should I take blame?
Hereafter I'll tell her and go to hospital.
Tell her and go to hospital.
Tell everyone you see on the way.
Going to hospital.
They gave a small bottle in hospital, right?
Tell her about that dirty thing also.
Already people are spitting on us.
Tell about all these dirty things, let them make fun of us.
You wanted a child, that's why I had come to hospital with you, right? Eh?
If not as my mother says, marry another...
Oh my God! I'll not tell anyone about anything.
I said because your mother asked me, right?
Forgive me.
Let's go to hospital tomorrow early morning on bike.
Hey, let's go without telling anyone.
- You too come, please. - No, I'm not coming.
You go and meet the doctor, I'll wait here.
- You too come with me please. - Why? You go.
You go alone, go.
Go...go!
Sister!
Sister...please, wait for a second.
Sister, please take your report.
Pandi!
Yes?
Hey, Pandi!
Hey, Pandi! What did the doctor say?
We'll have baby.
No problem with us?
Eh? - No.
Then, why are you so sad?
Come.
Pandi, get down.
You go ahead.
Go on!
- Why are you coming after me? - Go on.
I'll go, you carry on.
Hey, you go, I'll follow you.
You carry on, I'll come after some time.
Without telling me where you're going?
Hey, so much of work in house.
Are you sitting here leisurely?
Sit like that only, don't get up.
You should be...
Let him come.
I must take him to task first.
Get up quickly and come.
Will she get up only if I ask her?
Useless girl and damn face!
Come on, clean all the vessels cleanly.
I've put Turkey berries to dry in sun, keep it safely in kitchen.
You're unable to give birth to a baby.
At least do this work properly.
What?
Are you getting up to fight?
What will you do? Eh...you barren girl!
I got my son married to a barren girl and committed gravest sin.
Who is barren? Who is barren?
Am I barren woman?
Nothing, slipped from my hand and got spilled.
Hey, get up!
- Get up I say! - What?
Asking me what?
You went without telling mother,
when I walked in, vessels were lying scattered.
- Why? Did your mother tell that only? - My mother didn't tell me anything.
It's you who complains too much.
A man on road shouted that your wife is shouting on your mother.
- When I walked in, I saw vessels... - Yes.
I scattered everything.
If she keeps on calling me barren woman.
- Won't I get angry? - Don't talk.
Entire village calls you barren woman.
Is it hurting only if my mother says so?
If you don't have children, you'll be called as barren woman.
What else would they call you?
Mother!
Why did you leave me alone, mother?
Why did you leave me, mother?
Mother, entire village is torturing by calling me as barren woman.
How long can I bear it, mother?
I can't take it anymore, mother.
Mother!
I can't take it anymore, mother.
Mother!
I'll have peace in family only if I've a child, right mother?
Today, my husband raised his hand to hit me, mother.
Mother! It is not sin to do as doctor says, right mother?
It is not sin, right?
But he says he'll not tell anyone, right?
He says he'll not tell anyone, mother.
I'm not going to have a baby sleeping with someone else, mother.
If my husband comes to know he's impotent.
He can't bear it, mother.
Mother!
You must keep it secret from everyone.
You must take care of it.
"Whom should I find fault?"
"Whom should I accuse?"
"For my state..."
"There's no solution..."
"Not yet carried burden of pregnancy..."
"But carrying great burden in heart..."
"A hurt heart here..."
"It is crying in anger..."
"What am I to say? How am I to say?"
"Bye...bye...I'm going away without telling you..."
"I'm staking my life to present you a new life..."
"I'll carry a life in me to give you a life..."
"I seek your forgiveness falling at your feet..."
"I hope that you will forgive and forget this"
Pandi!
What happened, Pandi?
What happened?
Why are you throwing up?
What's it, dear?
You're acting like a kid, she's pregnant, that's why!
Umm?
I'm crying in happiness.
Hey! I'm crying in happiness!
"I'm announcing loudly, listen O village..."
Hey! How is it?
"I'm announcing loudly, listen O village..."
"Look at my heir, who is more to me than my life..."
"No God or temple was left where we didn't offer prayers..."
"God blessed me with a beautiful son..."
"Fill mouths that abused with sweets and sugar..."
"Make me walk tall where I went hiding my head..."
"To carry you on my shoulders, I'll stand like a statue for you..."
"I'll make you sleep in my heart..."
"I'll teach you to swim in well... I'll teach you 'Silambam' to fight..."
"I'll sacrifice goat to appease Karuppan and seek his blessings for you..."
"Come, my warrior son..."
"You're a son to bring name and fame to me..."
"Karuppa...Karuppa... may this happiness carry on forever..."
"May my clan grow..."
"I'm ready to sacrifice my life too..."
"Grant me the boon to make this bond strong forever..."
"O my Karuppa..."
What was nurse telling you?
Hey, what? Why are you still running it?
Come quickly.
You were talking to her for long time, what was she telling you?
Why do you want to know?
It seems doctors from Madurai are coming, she was telling about the visit.
She told me to bring our son also.
Should we take our son?
Yes, doctors are coming, right? For vaccination.
Why are you so shocked?
Umm...umm...
Come inside.
Come closer.
What's your name, madam?
I'll give one for morning and one for night.
- Take it after having food. - Next please.
Hey, go there.
- Come. - Sir, you've high sugar.
Do you see the biggest tablet?
Take half of it morning. - Father! - Yes, son.
Are they going to give me injection?
That line is not smaller, let's go there.
- Come, let's go there. - Line is shorted this side only.
- Come, let's stand in that line. - This line is shorter.
Come I say!
- How long should I bear this? - What's your problem?
That's vitamin table, madam.
That line is short, come.
- Come here, grandma. - Come here.
- Come...come here! - Take tablets properly.
Tell me...tell me loudly.
Move forward.
What's your problem?
Take grandma carefully.
- Understood what I said? - Next.
Yes, knee pain. Walking is very difficult.
Come, sir.
You're bound to get knee pain in old age.
- I'll prescribe tablets. - I'm feeling giddy.
You tell me, madam.
- No, I'll go home. - Come, we're almost near.
Consult the doctor and go.
- Pandi...Pandi... - Next, please come.
Why mother rushed back to home?
Shall we go to cattle market tomorrow?
Is it?
Will you take me to the shop, father?
- Hey, Kumar! - Eh?
How long will you hide from me?
Why should I hide from you? Am I afraid of you?
Afraid of me?
You!
Who will pay for injections to cows?
Will your father pay for it?
Should I pay him forever?
- Tell him to ask his wife. - Did you pay for it?
- Then, what? - Why then he's asking you?
Unnecessarily!
Hey, Kumar!
My wife told me you paid, I forgot it.
- Wife didn't give him. - Go home, she'll give you nicely.
- Father, I'm thirsty. - Are you thirsty, dear?
Will you go inside and drink water?
- Umm... - Go.
Pandi!
Why did you hide it from me?
It seems Kumar paid money for the injection.
You took money, but why didn't you tell me?
He shouted at me on street. I felt insulted.
Did you hide only this or anything else too?
Eh?
What?
Nothing serious, I took anger on you which I had on him.
Nothing to worry.
Pandi!
Nothing, dear.
Pandi!
Nothing, dear.
Hubby, forgive me.
Pandi, I said nothing serious, right?
Hubby, forgive me.
Nothing to worry, dear.
Hubby, the child is not yours.
What? What are you blabbering?
Yes.
Earlier that day, doctor said I don't have any problem.
He said you've problems.
Father...father...
Father!
Hey!
- Father! - Son has fallen down.
You're walking away ignoring him.
- Father! - Oh no!
- Father! - Get up, son.
Where is he going without bothering about son also?
Father!
Let him come home, I'll take him to task.
- You come, son...come. - Father!
- Trust me I say! - What's it, bro?
- Only I know the technique of sticks. - Don't tell lies, bro.
- Shall I get someone to second it? - Do it.
- Shall I do it now? - Do it, bro.
Watch now.
O Pappu!
Have you come to know about our brother now?
Why is he perplexed?
Let's have it later!
Lucky man!
Just for fun, man.
He's coming.
Move away, boys.
Move...go that side, I'll take care of him.
Hey, wait a minute.
Show your prowess now!
Why did he beat me and go?
Drink slowly, brother.
Drink water, bro
Hey...you...
Hey...you!
Hey!
Hey you...calling you only.
Hey Pedda
Hey...stop, please.
Hey!
Why are you walking differently?
Laid foundation for next child?
You fool, come here.
Hey, come here I say!
Sit here.
Come on, sit, man.
I've been watching you for two days, you're always with long face.
Like thunder hit you.
Never keep anything in heart.
Throw it out.
At least it'll reduce burden, right?
Cry!
Is there any rule men mustn't cry?
Cry, man! Cry your heart out.
I'll take care of it.
Making me cry and spreading news to everyone about it.
I know about you.
Hey!
Though it is not there, people do gossip about it.
What to do? That's my condition.
Where did she go away?
Pandi...
Hey Pandi!
Hey Athiri!
Come out quickly, man.
Wait, Man I'm coming
Why are you playing drums on my door at mid-night?
- Where's my wife, man? - Eh?
I had kept her here for you but missing now.
Keep your ridicules with someone else.
Hey, she was here till a while ago searching for you.
You went around roaming in village.
Eh? Looking in? Is it house or well?
Pandi!
Your husband was in my home searching you.
Am I hiding you?
Hey, get lost, man. Mind your own business.
He doesn't have any sense of timing.
What's this? Both wife and husband tell me to get lost.
Why are you looking at me indifferently?
I always find you talking to her only.
Hey...
Oh my God!
What's this? He's throwing things at me!
Has your husband gone mad?
Mad man!
Mad man?
How dare you call me mad man!
Look at your damn face and bald head!
Get lost!
Both wife and husband have gone mad or what?
Hubby!
You didn't eat anything since morning.
Eat at least little, please.
Look after the shop, I'll come back in a minute.
Okay.
I'll take a toffee and eat.
Hold it quickly.
Oh no, he got up!
Hey you thief! What are you stealing, boys?
I took just one toffee only.
Catch him, brother-in-law.
The boy who ran away is Pedda Perumal's son, right?
Wait, I'll come to your house.
Hey, stop! Listen to me!
Your son robbed my shop!
How dare to do it!
He has emptied my shop.
All my investment has gone waste.
I've been robbed cleanly.
If you can't buy snacks for your son, why do you give birth to him then?
He says he didn't steal, right?
I found directly that he has taken it.
Don't tell lies.
This is true, one who saw him steal told me.
I've seen him stealing in my shop.
That's why I caught him red-handed.
What a son you have!
He has turned a thief like you and robbed my shop.
Why are you getting chided by that lady?
Go away.
How dare you ask me go away!
Why do you need a son if you can't raise him properly?
He practically emptied my shop.
- Father, I didn't steal. - Yes, emptied your shop.
Father!
Oh God! Why did he do like this?
You're pushing a kid for this.
- Get up, son...get up. - Why did he push him down?
- What happened, Karthi? - Why did he do like this?
You please go away.
Okay...okay...please don't cry.
Come, let's go home.
Next I'll go to his house only
I won't leave him so simply
On a wire, three parrots were sitting,
when a fourth parrot sat on it, wire snapped.
Eh?
- Why? - Because it was grasshopper.
May I tell another joke?
Come.
Go away, mother.
Oh!
You're pushing me away now and then.
- Okay, come. - Go, don't want to talk to you, mom.
- Aren't you my darling? - Leave me, mother.
- Come, you'll ask me riddles. - Leave me, mother.
I'll answer you.
Come on, ask me.
No, I'll not ask.
Hubby!
Why have you stopped talking to me?
Hey!
Don't touch me!
You don't have any right to touch me.
It's disgusting when you touch me
Why?
Are you asking why I'm still alive?
Eh?
Surprised to see me alive still?
Oh, no!
Hubby...what should I do to make you talk to me?
Tell me, I'll do it.
Die, just go and die!
Die and get lost.
Shucks!
After my husband died, entire village abused me wildly.
You know why?
My name is Pottamma.
Like my name says, from my childhood days I always sported big dot.
I used big dot before I married him.
After he died, everyone, in fact entire village,
I used to dress well, combed my hair and used big dot,
abused me with wild epithets for it,
I sported dot before I got married,
I'll sport it till I'm dead,
I was matter of gossip for the village for few days after my husband died,
but I never cared about it,
dot on forehead was my identity,
as time passed, people of the village understood me,
you don't worry.
Mother-in-law!
He too is man, right?
He'll understand you slowly.
You go to sleep.
Son, stop for a minute.
Come, sit on it.
You're going to market, right?
Buy snacks for him and bring him back safely.
Bye, mother.
- Hold him tightly, son. - Bye, grandma
Father, go fast.
Why, father?
Father!
Father, let's go to that shop.
Father...father, buy me this, father.

Hey, your father gave Rs.300 only.
That will cost you Rs.400.

- How much is this one? - Rs.90.
- Eh? - Rs.90!
Umm...this one?
- That's Rs.120. - Rs.120?
Father, buy this for me.

Mother...mother... I lost your grandson, mother.
I told him to stay there only, mother.
When I turned back to see, he wasn't there, mother.
He was missing, mother.
I think we'll never find him, mother.
I'm telling you, why are you unmoved?
I lost your grandson, right?
Are you crying for your missing son?
You're too concerned about him. Go inside and see.
Don't cry, Karthi.
- Father is missing. - I'm telling you, right?
He would be searching for you there.
- Father! - Okay, leave it.
Your father will not search for you, he'll come home now.
Don't cry.
Turn back and see.
Father!
Father! Where did you go way, father? I was searching for you, father.
Do you know I really got scared?
Gandhi uncle dropped me in home.
Hey, what are you doing here without brushing your teeth?
- Call me as soon water gets filled. - Okay.
Father!
Shall we take bath?
Father! I'll jump!
I'm scared, father.
Let's jump, father. It'll be fun, father.
Father, let's jump.
It'll be fun, father.
Father, let's jump, come quickly.
Father, I'm jumping!
Father, let's jump, it'll be fun!
Father, I'm jumping!

- Karthi...Karthi... - Look at me, son.
Karthi, look at your father, son.
Don't touch him!
You please go away from here.
- We'll go somewhere else - Why are you shouting on him?
Please try to wake him.
I saved him. Tell her.
Yes, you saved him very well.
I was watching everything.
Please let some air to breath please.
Had it been your son, would you know it?
Eh? Don't talk like that, please.
Go away.
Don't touch him.
Don't touch my son
Give him buttermilk
Karthi?
Karthi!
- Don't know what happened to him? - Karthi?
Karthi, look at your mother
Karthi!
Karthi...my son!
Oh Karuppa!
Karthi!
Son!
Pedda Perumal!
Cow is mooing for a week to mate.
Please give an injection to it.
Please visit once.
Why are you going away without giving any answer?
What happened to him? He's going away ignoring me.
He was fine.
Please forgive me.
I won't do this work anymore
Whenever you moo, I pierced you with this!
Enough of it.
I can't bear this pain
When it comes to me...
It's paining me a lot
It's burning my heart
It's paining me
Please forgive me.
Hey little one!
I tried to kill you!
Even when you fell in the well, you shouted out to me
I didn't even save you
Running away from here...yuck!
You lied to me.
Am I even a human
I tried to kill you!
Little boy!
Don't get scared... don't get scared of me.
I'm your father.
Who should I tell this?
I cant...bear this anymore
Who should I tell this?
Hey Pedda!
Why are you crying here?
Eh?
Hey, get lost, man.
- Hey, tell me, what happened? - Get lost, mind your own business.
Tell me, what it is?
Hey, go away, man! Go away!
Hey, go away, boys.
Go away.
- Peeping Toms! Go away. - Come, run...run...grandpa is here.
Hey!
Hereafter I'll not spoil your happiness.
Go...go...
Be happy.
Go.
Go and live happily.
What has happened to Pedda?
He's sitting in cattle shed at night and lamenting.
When I asked what happened, he's shouting at me to go away.
I don't get anything.
Eh?
What happened?
Eh?
What happened?
What did the doctor say?
Did he say I'm impotent?
Did he say I'm not a man at all?
How dare he can tell that?
If I had problem, he could've given me treatment, right?
Did he build a hospital to humiliate people?
You should've told me, right?
It has turned ugly now.
I didn't have sense.
Who taught them this?
won't the child take after the father, isn't that procreation?
Is it right?
Why did you do this with me?
No, hubby...
Why?
What if you didn't have child?
You could've told me, right?
Pandi!
What happened?
Why are you indifferent?
When cow moos to mate,
we gave injections thinking it is for giving birth to calves.
Umm...
Cow will get calf but we're snatching its happiness.
Likewise, we too.
We mated only for having a child.
That's why we didn't have any child.
But we're living together.
What's this? I'm hearing some murmurs from upstairs.
Who could it be?
Eh?
Oh!
Now, I've understood one thing.
Whether it is animal or human,
let it be any living creature,
when they unite in happiness, only then a new will be created.
Umm...sure.
Where's our son?
He's sleeping downstairs with mother-in-law.
I feel like seeing him now.
Shall we go?
Let them come today, I'll catch them red-handed.
Hey!
Hey! What are you doing here?
Is it you Pedda?
I heard the sounds in my home, so, I came here to check.
If you hear any sound, close your ears and sleep in your home.
You mustn't make such sudden appearances.
I had come concerned about him, but he's shooing me away.
Okay, you close the door.
Hey, come slowly.
Hey Kumar! Long time no see!
Pedda! Going beyond count!
Don't you've idea of stopping it?
Why should I stop it?
Did my ancestors stop it?
Pandi! Shall we beat the record?
Beat the record or not,
my cow is mooing for mate, give an injection to it.
Let it moo, I'll bring my bull, one mate and you'll have two calves.
2 only?
- Bye, brother. - Okay, bye.
- Bye, sister. - Bye.
Got any idea of marrying?
I will, what's so urgent?
