-Welcome Mani.. -How long to open the door?
Sorry, I was in deep sleep, Mani.
Welcome, please come in.
-How are you Prema? -Good. Hope you're doing good.
Nila, how are you?
-I'm doing good, aunt. -Fine, come.
-Where's my brother? -He's sleeping.
Phew!
Shall I make some tea for you?
No need. We must get some sleep.
Come here.
Stretch your legs on to mom's lap.
Why the hell is she carrying a long face?
Hey! Wake up!
I said, wake up!
What's the hurry?
Your sister has arrived.
Damn, to hell with this!
Fine but why are you carrying a long face, that too so early in the morning?
Ask the same thing to your sister!
I welcomed her with a smiling face, when she arrived.
But in return, she was carrying a long face.
That's why now I'm carrying a long face!
-Welcome Mani. How are you? -I'm good. How are you, brother?
Baby...
-Go and sleep inside. -Look, uncle is here.
Darling, how are you?
Come, let's go to sleep.
Nila...
-Had a fun journey? -I slept, uncle.
Now what's your problem?
I've no problems here!
Mani is here on our request.
She travelled the whole night. She might have spoken out of travel lag.
-Are you upset for that? -You think she's here on our request?
Do you think she'll give you all the money?
She'll take half of the share, isn't it?
Look here. Look.
Why do you want to be upset about that?
Mani... Look at me. Don't you know Mani very well?
Imagine what will happen if she gets upset and leave.
I hope you understand how important this is to us.
It's all until my dad gives his consent. Kindly adjust till then.
I'll go and buy milk.
We can do the rituals at early morning, right?
Yes, of course.
Your face is glowing!
What else do I've to handle here?
Will Parthi come?
I asked, will Parthi come?
He will come. I've asked him to come in the evening.
We'll first sort things with dad, in the morning.
Or else he'll mess it up.
Wonder how's dad going to react. And on top she eats my head!
Mom...
What is it? What's with that smile in your face?
When did Nila arrive?
Oh! That's why! She arrived at early morning.
Shall I wake her up?
Don't. Else aunt will scold you. You sleep. She'll meet you once she's up.
Grandpa, the toilet reeks of beedi!
Why are you standing by the toilet, dear?
Grandpa, aunt and Nila are here.
God! They reached?
God! Then why are you still being a dirt-bag?
Come, time to bathe and get ready.
You must be disciplined for people to call you a good boy.
Grandpa, why are aunt and Nila here?
Well dear, it's your grandmother's death anniversary.
They are here for the rituals.
Why didn't we have rituals all these days?
Here.
-Dad's awake? -Yes, he's over there.
You got only one packet of milk?
Mix water and adjust.
I have no idea why...
your dad has had some kinda calling and wanted to do rituals for your grandma.
Well, so be it.
Dear Nila, are you awake?
Go inside. Aunt will give you breakfast.
-So dear... -Tell me, grandpa?
Well...
I could hear you create a ruckus to do your homework.
Well, that?
I was reading out loud and memorizing it.
What happened?
Dear, when did you arrive?
-Come here. -No grandpa!
Why?
I'm not wearing any underwear!
Whoa! Still in the bud...
Most of the Indian people don't wear underwears. Do you know that?
Come dear. Come here.
"The bad spends what the good earns"
"One who doesn't keep a tab, spends lavishly"
You filthy dog! How many times have I warned you not to stalk me?
-Parama! Mani! -How dare you?
How dare you lay hands on me?
You rascal! You will lay hands on me?
How many times on the street, have I asked you not to stalk me?
When did I stalk you? I won't even stalk my wife Kanmani!
How dare you enter my room and sleep next to me?
-You scoundrel! -Brother-in-law!
What do you eat for brains? Shit?
-Why'd I eat shit? What do you mean? -Murali!
-Please come with me. -Brother-in-law! Mani!
-What happened? -She's hitting me.
Aunt, please. Calm down, Murali. It's okay.
-I am innocent. -I know, Murali.
She started it, brother-in-law.
-What? -Murali...
She was hitting me.
Mani, help me. Find out what's going on. Confront them!
What did you do?
-I'm innocent. I was sleeping alone. -Just a moment. Come here.
Aunt... aunt...
-Meet Murali. Mani's husband. -I know. How are you , dear?
Wait.
They here to attend the rituals for my mother's death anniversary.
Okay.
-Hope you're fine aunt. -I am good, dear.
But your mother? How could she leave us?
She passed away five years ago, isn't it?
Without her, how will I take care of you all?
-Mani, I swear... -Murali!
Now, leave it.
-She will mistake me. -I'll hit you! Wait!
We already got married and have a child! Then why do you wanna hit on me?
Please, sit.
I'll get you something to eat. Then you may take your medicines.
Until then, lie down and rest.
What happened to aunt, sister-in-law?
It's been there for past six months. She keeps forgetting.
That condition is called... Almirah... something like that.
Yes, brother did tell me.
-It wasn't this bad last time. -Yes, it's really bad now.
Looks like it'll get worse.
Brother-in-law, what's going on? Is this how you treat your guest?
You think I'm here to live off you guys?
-Shall I arrange the breakfast? -Make it fast.
I've prepared sambar.
Would this suffice or do you want chutney?
Well, I can do with sambar but chutney is a must for my husband.
-Mani... Mani.... -I can get it ready in 10 minutes.
-No need. That's okay. -When we all sit for breakfast...
can you bring up the topic and talk?
Brother, you called me and I'm here. That's all.
I've no idea how to bring it up and deal with it.
Mani! Mani, I've put all my trust on you.
Please don't screw it up. Mani...
How dare she ask me if I eat shit for brains?
Hope you won't mess it up. Be clear, okay?
Dad will leave to the complex as soon as he finishes his breakfast.
So, make sure you talk about it before he leaves.
Can we start the padayal(offering) ritual?
I'm making dumplings that your mom used to love.
We can start the ritual once it's cooked.
Okay.
It's cooked.
Dad...
shall we do the padayal ritual for mom?
I'll be there in a minute.
Okay, dad. Please come.
Kids... Nila... come on.
Time to pray to grandma, come on.
Here I am.
Slow.
Kids, get those flowers.
Give it to me, dear.
-Prema, where's the camphor? -In that bag.
-Grandpa, here you go. -Give it.
Dear Prema, call my sister.
Show that. Water... hold it.
Did you inform Parthiban?
It seems he's busy, dad. He said he'll come in the evening.
Where's Mani's husband?
He's just out after his bath. You carry on with the rituals.
Dear...
you do the first offering for your mother.
Okay, dad.
Aunt, please come closer.
Parama!
-Just a moment. -Parama!
Do talk to him.
Parama...
Why are you here so early in the morning?
What else would I come for?
I hear that...
you've got some new imported stuff.
If it's true, give me two of 'em please.
-So early in the morning? -None of your business.
-Two? -Yes.
Your family is out of station?
I can see that.
Wait, I'll be back.
Fine, make it fast before somebody else notices and comes.
Brother-in-law...
-Murali... -Come in, brother-in-law.
Murali, the ritual is going on.
Without you?
-I already offered my prayers. You go. -Let's go together.
Murali, use that room.
-That room's free to use. -I'm just drying my hair.
You just take what you are here for and go.
Don't worry, I won't use your inners. Go ahead, take what your here for.
Murali, so how's job?
Well, I've no job. Isn't that why we are here.
They say you can trust your brother-in-law blindly. Stop looking at me scratching!
Are you done scratching? Done?
Nothing, dear. I just dropped by.
Don't give me that look.
-Come, lets pray. -Fine, let's go.
Come.
Err... brother-in-law, I forgot to wear my inners.
I forgot to wear underwear.
You carry on, brother-in-law.
Kiddo, go and pray to grandma.
Here.
So, I hear it comes with 7.1. Does this have it?
-7.1? -Yes.
You'll watch it in government freebie TV! Then why do you need 7.1? Leave!
My bad. Sorry for asking.
Well, buying the CD is fine but does your player work?
-This is the house. -Oh!
-Yes? -Excuse me
-Is this #2332, Vinayagam's house? -Yes.
We are here to unplug the fuse. Pay the bill, if you need electricity.
Come on, brother.
You're 10 days past the bill due date.
You haven't paid the electricity bill yet.
-It must have been paid by now. -Yeah right!
Brother, wait.
-I'm sure, it must have been paid. -Then why'd we be here?
Guess, amidst work we forgot it. You leave. I'll pay it within two days.
Do you think we are jobless. Go and unplug it.
Please! Please...
Today's my mother's death anniversary.
My younger sister and her family are here.
-Not today. I'll pay it within two days. -We are helpless.
If we don't do our job, we'll be fired.
I'll pay within two days. Please, do something.
-Come on, man! -It's not us who has to do something.
You do something about this.
Please, do something.
Boss?
-We can't do anything. -What can I do?
Here.
-What's this? -Just have it. Please.
Give me two days. I'll pay it.
Make sure you pay it in two days.
-Or else, third day I'll unplug the fuse. -Okay.
-I'll definitely pay. You leave. -Fine.
See you.
-Pay it. We mean only your welfare. -Okay.
-Pour him sambar. -No, I don't want.
Idlis taste good only with sides.
Mix idly with sambar and eat. Time to get used to spicy foods.
-What? -Have the talk now.
-Spicy food is good for the brain. -Wait, don't be in a hurry.
Just talk, Mani.
-Let him finish eating. -Oh God!
What happened?
Wait, I'll check.
God!
-Fuc... -Brother-in-law...
What's wrong with you Murali?
Well, I was checking for some Hollywood movies on the loft.
-I slipped and fell. -You slipped? My foot!
-The cot is broken. -I too think so.
Now, where will Mani and kids sleep at night?
-I'll fix it in five minutes. I know... -Shut up!
-Brother-in-law... -Hold it!
Brother-in-law...
-Brother-in-law... -What is it?
Don't tell this to Kanmani.
Well, she's a 10th grade drop-out.
She won't know much about Hollywood movies.
Eww.
Sister, had your breakfast?
I did. I'm now having my coffee.
Fine, have it before the coffee goes cold.
Dad, well...
-brother's business is dull. -Okay...
He is struggling to even pay the rent.
So what?
My husband is also not getting enough salary.
Oh!
Even the business at shop is dull.
Hence,
we're deciding to start some new business.
If you sell this house and gives us the share,
he will settle his debt,
and with remaining we can start a new business.
I was wondering why everybody wanted to offer prayers to mom after five years.
-So, this is the matter? -Well, dad...
if this situation persists, we cannot manage.
Selling the house we are living in; is that the solution?
It's too hard, dad.
Stop having such crazy ideas of selling the house!
Crazy? Who is crazy?
-Brother, quiet. -You keep quiet, Mani!
I've been patient enough! And he calls me crazy?
Won't you listen to me?
So, you want to sell the house we are living in?
If you sell the house then where will you all live? In the streets?
Come on. How much do you think this house will get? 15-18 lakhs?
Even the millionaire's heirs do not think of such things.
Of course they won't think of such things because they have millions!
-Brother, no please... -They also have good business.
That's why they won't think of such things.
Tell me, what is that I didn't do for you?
Like a boss you came to me saying " I'll take over the business"
What did I do?
Didn't I hand over the keys to you and step down?
If the business is dull, you must do the necessary to pick it up.
Yeah, as if it's a flourishing business!
If the business is dull, what can I do?
Who watches movies using CDs these days? Everyone's got a phone,
Only few helpless elders come to buy it. How can I run the family with that?
Tell him!
The earnings from that business is what helped me build this house.
Well... look...
If now everybody's watching movies in phone...
then you must change according to the changing times.
-Look Mani... -Parama...
-You talk to him. I'll be back.
What is it?
Well, this CD is getting stuck often.
Give me a different one.
I'll check if I've another CD of the same movie.
Give me if you have some Korean stuff. That'd be better.
You look very furious.
I shall come post 2 'O clock.
Dad, we are asking because we have no other option.
So you want to sell this house and drag everyone in the family to streets?
Dad...
Why would live in the streets?
We'll move into a nice and small house for rent.
You can live with me for few days and then few days with Mani.
You can stay anywhere you want.
Vinayagam...
Are you going to Kanmani's house? I shall join, please.
This lady!
You don't worry about aunt.
Prema...
what did doctor say about aunt?
Father-in-law, doctor said that her condition will worsen further.
It'd become tough to take care of her at our home.
I inquired outside, dad.
There is a separate place to take care of such patients.
We'll admit her in a good place.
Oh!
Nice, so you will leave aunt in some old age home,
and I must shuttle between your house and her's every now and then?
Dad, I didn't mean that.
No, that's what you meant. I have watched many of actor Visu's movie.
Father-in-law,
in that actor Visu's movie, do they sell the house? No.
-They split it by drawing a line. -No, dear son-in-law...
you're talking about a different movie.
In the movie I'm talking about, his two sons sell the house...
and leave their father stranded on the streets.
At least he has a wife but I don't have one.
On top, they will even torn shed his head.
Do you think I'll look good with a torn shed head? That's why I'm saying so.
You better leave!
Dear, wait. By the way...
-don't you always eat on time? -Five minutes, father-in-law.
You'll come back and eat? Correct!
Dad...
Look, don't talk all these things.
Do not bring up the topic of selling the house.
-Dad... -Dear, Prema...
I'm going to the Vallalar complex.
Call and tell me if you need me to buy anything.
Forget it, brother. What else can we do now?
Forget it? No way! Get lost.
-She wants me to forget it! -He's not agreeing to it.
Yeah, right! Who needs his consent?
I'll file a case in the court. We all have equal shares.
My foot!
We don't have money to meet our daily needs and he says he'll go to court!
What's your problem? Why do you keep messing with me always?
If you file a case in the court,
and what if we don't get expected money, as dad mentioned.
I understand he's talking crazy but what's wrong with you Mani?
Mani, you know Andrew, right?
I've informed him everything. He has promised to help us get a good deal.
Trust me, Mani.
-Will we get the expected amount? -Definitely, we'll get it.
Fine, handle it carefully.
Kiddo, what happened? Not playing?
Dad...
please don't fight with grandpa.
Grandpa... I didn't fight with him. When did I fight with him?
Don't lie to me. I saw you having a spat with him.
No, I was not having a spat with him.
Your CD robot is broken, right?
Shall I fix it?
Come, I'll fix it.
Come on, dear.
Dad...
Nila says she will fly abroad after finishing her education.
Yes, uncle. I will go to USA.
USA?
Kiddo...
If Nila goes abroad, you too will go with her. Right?
Why would I go?
Why won't you?
I must stay with you, like how you're staying with grandpa.
I must take care of you like how you take care of grandpa.
Andrew is here. Come.
Kiddo, hold this for sometime.
I'll be back in a jiffy.
Come, let's fix it.
-Here he is. -Hey Andrews.
-Would you like some tea. -It's okay.
Mani.
-Some water? -Sure.
-How are you? Mani. -I'm good and you?
This is my friend; Andrews. Told you right, I've given him the document.
So, tell me.
Parama...
this won't work out. Thanks.
I don't get it. What do you mean?
Buddy, read this.
Like I'm going to understand. You tell me. What's the issue?
Well, your dad bought this land without inquiring properly.
The square feet tally on the document is less by 300 square feet.
Nobody will buy this.
Even if someone agrees to buy it, they will quote very less price.
If we give a request to the Tahsildar to fix all this,
By the time they arrange a surveyor and check, it'll take a long time.
It'd take around eight months for the process to complete.
You won't get the expected value on expected time.
Is there no other option? Did you check thoroughly?
-No, buddy. -There must be some way.
We'll have to wait and see.
I tried my best.
What's the use of this crap now?
-Sorry. -It's okay, buddy.
I thought I can solve all my problems if I sell this house.
Fuck!
Don't be upset.
Please take care of him. See you, buddy. See you.
Now what, brother?
Looks like we can sell it even if we get dad to agree.
Let's go and ram our heads on the wall. What else can we do?
Come, let's go inside and play.
'I very well know I'm talking to a spineless oldie!'
'I toiled hard and sacrificed myself to raise you...'
"Heirs will come with us till a distance but who will walk with us till the end?"
-'Are you blind?' -'Sorry, sir. He is sick'
'To hell with this sick person!'
'To the right. Now, to the left'
'Rest him here'
'Before we get into detailed news, let's first see the flash news'
'120 years old Vallalar complex in Kumaran Nagar, crashed down a while ago.
'Many people are said to be stuck inside'
Prema!
What are you yelling?
Where did dad say he was going to?
Vallalar complex. Why? What happened?
What is it, brother?
-I'm asking you. What happened? -Tell us, brother.
-Can't you hear me? -Look at the news!
'Welcome back to the headline'
The 120 years old complex in Kumaran Nagar, the Vallalar complex...'
'crashed down a while ago'
'We have received information that there are many causalities stuck inside'
-He is not picking the call. -Hope he is safe.
How'd I know. I am also here, right?
Time is so bad since morning!
-Hope dad is safe. -You don't get started now!
I'll go there, check and let you guys know.
Wait. Don't you guys imagine things. Wait, I'll go and check.
Call us at once when you find him.
Call me immediately, if dad comes here.
Okay, I'll call you.
He says dad's not picking the call.
-I'm worried. -Don't over think, Mani.
Nothing would have happened to him.
I'm panicking.
Don't worry.
'A very old building, the Vallalar complex has crashed down'
'We are receiving information that many of them might have lost their lives'
You guys play.
God! What in the hell is this?
How did it break? Who did it?
Who else? None of us have entered this room since your family is here.
Murali was using that room.
Say it to my face if you think it was my husband who broke it.
Oh! So you knew it?
There were only few items in tact here and you guys broke that too.
Mind you words, sister-in-law! You're crossing the limits.
Why should I mind my words?
Murali was using that room. Your brother already sold everything got in dowry.
That cot was the only thing left.
Your words tell me that you'll demand us a new cot.
You think my husband is a kid, to break the cot?
'Look at me, I'm your lucky charm' I do that daily but only my eyes are paining.
My queen's my lucky charm, have you see her? She'll come now.
Mani!
Where were you? My brother had to go out alone.
Why? What happened?
-Who is he? -Well, err...
I broke the cot by mistake. So, I brought him to fix it.
Brother, come in.
You wait and watch!
Nothing to worry. Just five minutes and he'll turn into a new cot. You carry on.
Not bad, at least you accept your mistake.
Please, come in.
Here, inside.
It must look like a new cot. Okay?
What did you do? How did the cot break?
You heard me! Answer me.
Come here.
Well, Kanmani...
the fan stopped working suddenly.
I climbed on the cot to fix it and the cot broke.
Don't look at me as if I broke it on purpose.
Just go, it's not like it's a brand new one.
-Why are you embarrassing me? -You think I did it on purpose?
All the furniture is breaking in this house.
You said your brother went out somewhere.
-The Vallalar complex in Kumaran colony, -Yes?
it crashed down.
That's why there were so many ambulance and cops over there. So what?
Dad left to that complex today morning!
Hope he is safe.
No idea!
We called him repeatedly but he isn't picking the call.
My brother went to find out what happened.
And on top you create this mess at this time!
My fate!
Keep belittling me all the time.
It must be your dad. Go.
Yes, who are you?
Call Paraman! Can't you return money on time?
-Should I keep coming here always? -My brother is not at home.
Is he really not in there or is he hiding inside and asked you to say so?
My fate that I've to chase him to get my money back! He doesn't know me.
Remember that person who was stalking you?
-Yes, a rascal. -Look, he is here.
-Come on. -What is that rascal doing here?
He acted so good while borrowing money.
Now he doesn't attend calls and is always not at home.
Finally, you ended up coming to my home?
I've nothing to talk to you. If Parama is not here, call his wife.
How dare you come here? How many times did I tell you not to stalk me?
-Aunt, nothing to worry. -What are you blabbing?
-Please aunt, listen to me. -What do you eat for brain?
-Aunt, quiet. -Let go of me.
-When did I stalk you? -Don't make me abuse you!
-You better show some respect. -Leave me!
-He doesn't deserve respect! -Wait, I'll handle it.
-He just won't listen! -She is not well.
He has made it a habit!
-I'll insult you in front of everyone! -She is not well.
Is this how you treat me? I deserve this for lending money and helping.
Paraman must meet me by today evening. Understood?
-Look at him! Jerk face! -Ma'am, I'm leaving!
-Get lost! -She just won't stop.
-You jerk face! Mind you! -He left. You go inside.
He follows me everywhere!
Leave her and come.
Where did I keep it?
What are you looking for?
Wait, I'll show you.
Got it.
How is this cycle?
It looks awesome!
Whose cycle is this?
My dad has promised me to gift this cycle on my birthday, next month.
Will you let me ride it?
Of course. I'll let you know as soon as I get this cycle.
Next month, I'll ask dad to talk to your mom.
Come here for during your holidays and we shall ride this cycle together.
Okay, fine.
Check it. I've fixed it.
Now is this how you fixed it?
This is the best I can do for the 100 rupees he is going to pay me.
I run a cycle service shop.
I told him I cannot repair cots but he didn't listen to me.
Nothing will happen. Kindly adjust and use it.
He runs a cycle service shop?
Will your dad really buy it for you?
Don't you believe me? Fine, come with me.
Mom, didn't dad promise me to buy this cycle for my birthday?
To hell with your dad! As if he's gonna really buy it for you!
I believe you. I'm sure he'll buy it for you. Here.
'Recovery operation to save the people stuck in Vallalar complex is underway'
'Our reporter Mohan is at the spot. Let us talk to him'
'Mohan, what is the situation there now? How is the recovery operation going on?'
God!
Please God, let my dad be safe.
Look at the crowd.
My brother went to look for him and no news from him either.
I wonder what happened.
Can't you step out and check instead of sitting here and munching snacks?
What? Your brother already went in search of your dad, right?
If I go out, then who'll look out for me?
Why are you worried? They'll be back.
-God. -Hope my dad is safe.
He'll be fine.
Look, told you. They are back.
Brother...
Come, brother-in-law...
-Brother, did you find dad? -What happened, brother-in-law?
Did you find him?
Say something. Did you check around the complex?
Did you find your dad or not?
What happened?
Where's dad, brother? What happened?
-I looked all around the complex. -Get some water.
Didn't find dad anywhere.
Cops have rounded up the complex.
-They say everyone inside are dead. -Mani, stop crying first.
We are not sure of anything yet. So, stop imagining things, Mani.
Brother-in-law, quiet. Why are you crying now?
Let's go to the police station and lodge a complaint. What do you say?
Murali, what was I telling all this while?
What?
-All the cops are at complex. -Oh, yeah. Right.
Father-in-law is neither there nor he has returned home.
I don't have a good feeling about this. I'm worried.
-Yes, brother. I'm also worried. -Mani...
Wait. You guys don't come to a conclusion.
See what they are telling in the news, brother.
Hold on!
Don't panic.
Shall I go to...
the GH (government hospital) and check in the mortuary?
-Why in the mortuary? -Wait, just checking there, to be sure.
You are right. That's a right call.
Just check there too.
Don't worry.
-You also go with him. -Brother-in-law, two minutes.
The snacks.
God! This fellow I say.
I'm starving since morning. Can you make me some tea?
Fine, I'll bring.
'As tension raises due to the raising number of death toll in complex crash'

'For the families of those who got stuck and died in Vallalar complex accident'
'the government has announced a compensation'
'Every family of those who died in the Vallalar Complex accident'
'will receive Rs. 20 lakhs compensation, as announced by the government'
'Rs. 20 lakhs compensation for the family of the deceased...'
Dad...
Why are you sitting here?
What happened?
What happened? Why are you crying?
Oh my God! Didn't something happen to your dad?
Why are you shouting?
Something happened to father-in-law?
Did you see him?
Why didn't you tell me?
Do you think I won't tell you if I had seen him?
Then why are you sitting here and weeping?
Only today morning I told dad...
that I'm struggling and asked him to sell this house to help me.
-He refused it, right? -Yes.
But it's not that dad doesn't understand our struggles.
Hey, what do you mean?
For those who died in that building crash,
Rs. 20 lakhs compensation is being given by the government.
Mani!
Are you nuts?
-Why are you calling her? -Don't we have to tell Mani?
Yeah, tell her! Then she'll claim half from that 20 lakhs.
How can we hide it from Mani?
Last year many died in when a bridge broke in your village, right?
Yes.
When did their families get the compensation?
They got it within 10-15 days.
Then let's do one thing.
We'll finish dad's final rites within five days and send off Mani.
We'll receive the compensation first...
then later we shall give something from it to Mani.
What if she finds out the news that you saw?
Won't she find out that government paid the compensation?
Mani isn't going to step out of the house.
You go and divert her by starting a conversation.
I'll step out and snap the cable tv connection.
Then Mani won't find out.
Do you think it'll work out?
Yeah, play brilliant with such doubts! Just go and do what I said!
Brother!
Dad has put an end to all our miseries.
Prema, please get a proper and nice photo of our father-in-law.
Rs. 20 lakhs compensation it seems.
20 lakhs compensation for father-in-law's death. We saw in the news.
You go and get the photo.
Fine, Murali and I will go to the GH.
Let's go.
Dad!
You knew that selling this house won't solve our problems,
hence, is that why you left 10 lakhs each for both of us?
-What's all this, Murali? -She's blabbing something.
Mani, who promised you 10 lakhs now?
Brother...
didn't you check out the news properly?
20 lakhs compensation for dad's life.
If you take half of that, then what I do, Mani?
Half of 20 is 10, brother-in-law.
You might have thousands of issue, brother...
but if dad was alive, he'd have shared it equally among us, isn't it?
Do you remember?
When we were kids, he'd buy you a cycle and for me also one.
Similarly, if he buys a dress for you, he'd buy one for me.
-Isn't that how we should share now also? -You're very smart, Mani!
I've been toiling hard since the age of 20, for this family.
You anyhow left the family eight years ago after marriage.
How will you understand my problems?
You borrowed money from all over the place. How's that my fault?
Right, as if I borrowed the money from all over and spent it on myself.
I spent it all for this family!
Mani, didn't he conduct your wedding in a grand manner?
-Tell her! -Keep quite, sister-in-law.
This is not your money.
Dare you talk to her like that.
-Brother-in-law... Mani... -Then what?
Why is she dragging my wedding expenses into this?
Fine, Mani. What's your final decision?
I already told you. 10 lakh for each of us. Split it equally.
10 lakh for each of us? Equal share?
What a loving children! Look what they are discussing at this hour!
Fine, you may have 10 lakhs.
Have the 10 lakhs and take aunt with you.
You take care of her medicines and medical expenses.
What are you talking? Come here.
-You saw how well I did mom's funeral. -Come with me.
Now, dad's funeral is your responsibility.
You must do it well tomorrow. Take the money.
-Take him away. -Come here.
Mani!
Hands off me! She's yapping away and you want me to hear it quietly?
Don't speak unnecessarily!
She'll ask half of the money and you want me to give it?
Don't you know the problems we are facing?
For that you'll ask her to take away aunt with her?
Mani, don't you get it?
Don't you how bad is aunt's condition?
You think we can take aunt in with us?
Who will handle her? Here she comes.
Aunt, what are you doing?
I want to take a dump.
-The toilet is not her but over there. -You moved it there?
-Yes, it's there. -Go there.
Let them also know how much aunt's medicine and medical expenses are.
Only then...
Only then she will know how difficult it is to take care of aunt.
-Why did I marry a guy like you... -Stop bringing it up every time!
What are you talking, Mani? Stop being adamant and talk sensibly.
Why should I get less?
Don't you know what will happen if we take aunt in? Can we take care of her?
Fine, how much shall I ask?
Yeah, get used to dealing like this.
-Your aunt gets a monthly pension. -Yes.
Who was collecting it all these days? Your dad, right?
Yes.
Now, if we get that money, we can run the house every month. Isn't it?
Without considering that, you are just...
Ask him Seven lakhs.
-Seven? Will that be enough? -Of course not.
Do you think he'll agree to it, first? Lets give it a shot.
Look here...
don't send aunt with them. We'll take care of her.
-You tell her... -What do you want me to do?
Don't get upset with her and try to make peace.
Go.
He'll come now. Talk in a calm manner.
Show some respect to your elder brother. Is this how you talk?
Here he comes.
-Show him some respect. -Mani...
What was aunt saying?
-Nothing. -She wanted to use the toilet.
Fine, don't mind brother-in-law. She spoke out in haste.
Well, Murali...
still her reasoning must have some justification.
I've thousands of issues here.
-That's what I was telling her. -I do understand your issues, brother.
At least give me seven lakhs, brother.
Mani!
Doesn't look like you understand my issues.
My issues are choking me, Mani.
Fine, Mani. You may have three lakhs.
Three lakhs?
He says only three lakhs!
Of course not enough. See how much he gives.
Three lakhs? It's too less, brother.
-Come on, Mani. -Fine, how about six lakhs?
Give me at least six lakhs, brother.
Six...
Mani, do you even get my point?
Six lakhs? How will I...
Brother-in-law, you don't agree to any value...
Come on, Murali! Talk sensibly.
Mani...
Parthi will also find out later. We'll also have to give him a share.
He's doing good for himself with that shop.
True.
So what? You won't give him a share? We must give him!
-We'll split and give a little. -Come on, Mani.
Don't keep showing that expression, Mani.
God!
Fine, Mani. Look here.
-Have four lakhs. Be happy. -Four?
-Four lakhs? -What can we do? That's all we get.
-Just four lakhs, brother? -It's whopping four lakhs, Mani!
Come on, now.
Dad!
You promised me a lot but is this all I get?
Poor Mani.
'For now they have announced two lakhs compensation for the people injured'
'Government has announced a compensation of 20 lakhs for the familes of victims'
'Government has announce two lakhs compensation for the people injured'
'For the families of thos who died in Vallalar complex crash...'
Girls, did you serve food for Vinayagam?
Did he eat or not. I have no idea.
Sister-in-law, please go and check.
-Aunt... -Tell me.
-Dad... -What are you doing?
Come. Come here!
Just a minute, aunt. You lie down. I'll come.
-Okay. -What is it?
What are you doing?
Don't we have to inform aunt?
What if she panics? Then who will handle her?
Yes, brother. We can tell her later.
They are right. First, lets get father-in-law's body.
First, do the needful for his final rites.
She has a point, brother.
Come on, brother-in-law.
Murali...
Go to GH and check if dad's body has arrived there.
If not, meet me at the complex. I'll go and meet Guna by then.
-Okay, brother-in-law. -Why are you meeting Guna now?
I don't have a penny with me.
How will we conduct dad's funeral tomorrow? We must do it well.
-Of course. -True, brother.
-We must give him a grand funeral. -We will give him a grand funeral.
Already the interest on what you borrowed from him, is increasing.
That's not a big deal.
If I explain him the situation...
and tell him that I'll get money within 10-15 days, he'll give me money.
-Yes, he'll give. -I'll handle it. Don't worry.
We'll handle it. You continue with your chores. Go.
Why do you guys look like you've seen a ghost?
Move aside.
Dad!
-Are you alright? -I am fine. Why do you ask?
Why are you all looking at me in a strange manner?
-We were scared! -Why?
Dad...
We saw on news that the complex crashed down.
Yes, dear.
-After the complex collapsed... -Grandpa!
-Hello, dears!
Dear, this is unfair.
You seem to have forgotten me ever since she arrived.
-You went to the complex. -Yes!
-Continue the game or from beginning? -Continue the game.
-Let's start a new game. -Alright. Come with us.
-You can't cheat me. -Come with us, first.
-You should not cry during the game. -Come with us, first.
Parama!
Parama, won't you return the money on time?
How many times should I call you?
Do you expect me to chase you around after lending you money?
I was about to meet you today.
-No, please trust me. -Stop fooling around.
I lent you my money. The mad lady in your house...
-is the one I have to deal with, is it? -That's not the case.
Give me a month's time, I will return the money.
I don't think I can get the money from you.
-I will give it back, brother. -Parama, you got two days time.
I want my money back before that.
Otherwise, all my men will be at your house.
There are women in the house too.
-It will be humiliating. -Brother!
-I will return the money. -You have to meet me in two days time.
-Please give me a month's time. -Come back to me in two days.
If I don't get the money, I will do what I said.
Parama!
Will they come to the house?
How are you going to pay in two days time?
Thank God, we did not say anything to Vihaan about it.
Did you see how happy he was on seeing his grandpa?
-He's so happy? -Aren't you happy?
Are you mad?
When dad came back home, everyone were happy.
Then why are you sitting all alone here?
Well that...
I thought all my problems were solved.
Out of four lakhs, we can use one lakh to buy the vehicle.
And one lakh for vessels, place, commission to the police, land...
I could have done it in three lakhs.
I had this weird feeling when dad returned.
Me too, Mani
I was not sure whether to cry or to laugh.
My brother should have searched properly for him.
He told strange stories and ended this way.
He should have checked carefully
If he had checked, I would have become like Parthi...
I'd have started a business and succeeded.
-At the cost of my dad's life? -Mani, mind your words
I did not say that.
I would be glad, if something had happened.
-Mind your tongue! -Okay dear.
I don't know how to manage all this.
It's alright.
We will find a way. We'll manage.
What's this? Why did you bring this?
Amudha's sister is getting married tomorrow.
-So what? -They called me for her make-up.
You could have opted for a better make-up in our marriage.
Mind your tongue!
Fold this up.
You are making a businessman do household chores.
Grandpa!
Let me have a tea and get back.
-Okay! -Okay Grandpa!
I will come back with fresh power to lift you up.
Grandpa, make it quick.
-Make it quick. I am the strongest. -Okay dear.
Prema...
-Prema. -Dad is calling you. Go.
Go and check what he wants.
-Go. -Prema.
-Yes, father-in-law? -Can you make me some tea?
-Sure, I'll make it. -Please make it hot.
He wants tea to revive himself.
The plan was to do his funeral.
-Will you shut up? -Okay.
Father-in-law, here.
Father-in-law.
Father-in-law!
Mani!
What does she want? Check if anything else is broken.
It's Prema.
-Dear, come here. -What is it?
-Father-in-law! He is not getting up. -Dad.
-Dad! -I brought him some tea. Father-in-law!
-Dad! -Father-in-law!
Dear!
What happened?
-Mani, what is it? -Father-in-law is not waking up.
Prema, what happened?
Dad...
What happened?
-Dad! -He asked for tea. I brought him some.
He is speechless.
What is it?
-What happened? -Father-in-law!
Mani!
Our father has left us.
Brother, what do you mean?
Dad!
Brother!
Did you check properly this time at least?
Dad!
Let's get on with what has to be done.
What's there to be done?
Murali, please go.
Call Parthi.
'We are also getting information from the spot.'
'To the families of those who died in the complex crash...'
'a compensation of 20 lakhs has been declared by the Government.'
'Added, a compensation of two lakhs would be given to the injured people'
'has been announced by the government.'
Grandpa, let's play.
What is it?
Ask Grandpa to come play with us.
Grandpa is tired. Let him rest for a while.
You can play with him later. Why don't you play inside the room?
Get inside.
Brother-in-law...
Fine...
Mani!
Don't you...
-Don't you need the four lakhs? -Who would say no?
-Isn't it? -Everyone needs money.
Yes!
Parama, what are you going to do?
Wait, he is about to say something. Let him finish.
Please continue.
Mani...
Dad...
What if we take him and put him at the complex?
-Mani, think about it. Four lakhs! -Mani...
Mani, I understand.
Mani, think about it.
-Brother! -Mani... please...
Mani, think about us too.
Will you carefully drop of dad's corpse in the complex?
Buddy, come out of the shock.
Yes, we will do it carefully.
Parama, what if there is a problem?
No, there won't be any problem.
Brother...
Poor dad.
-We got to do it without any problem. -Yes.
Brother...
Vihaan and Nila saw that dad was back home.
Parama, Vihaan will be devastated on hearing this.
-Prema, bring the biscuits and snacks. -Yes, bring it.
-Bring the phone. -Go ahead.
-Prema, go. -Go ahead.
Brother-in-law...
We got to do it before Parthi comes here.
Phone is here.
-Let me come. -Go on.
-Where should this be? -Here.
Wait.
The other one?
Here.
Place it like this.
This one got to be like this.
Kiddo, what are you doing?
Grandpa made me a cycle using CDs.
I am making a similar one for Nila.
This is done.
Kiddo!
-Didn't you ask for this cycle? -Yes.
Shall I get you this for your next birthday?
-Stop teasing me, dad! -Why?
I got an earful today morning when I brought this up with mom, today morning.
-Did mom scold you? -Yes.
Yes, uncle. Aunt threw the note away.
Prema!
Did you scold him?
Don't mind her.
I'll get this cycle for your next birthday.
Really
-What about Nila? -We will get her one too.
Wow!
But you should listen to me.
You both should not come out of this room until I tell you to.
Why is that?
Only if you obey me, I can buy you the cycle, right?
Yes...
So, what should you do?
-You must not... -step out of this room.
-Got it? -Yes.
Here's some snacks and biscuits. Have them.
You keep asking me the phone to play games, right?
Go ahead. Play these games.
-Cycle is done. -You may sleep here if you're tired.
Alright.
Kiddo...
Until I tell you...
you should never step out of the room.
Alright, play now.
Dad, if you disappoint me this time...
I will tell grandpa about it.
Vinayagam, did you eat?
Vinayagam.
Why doesn't he reply?
Aunt...
-Dad is sleeping. You leave now. -Sleeping?
He looks stiff like a corpse.
He said he's tired and slept. You go inside.
-Whatever. -Brother...
What if aunt speaks about this?
-She won't be a problem. Don't worry -She found out!
You heard her saying "He looks stiff like a corpse"
-I am scared. -She won't be a problem. Let's manage.
-She won't be a trouble. Don't worry. -If she blabbers, we will be caught.
Let's not do this.
Aunt...
Dad went to Vallalar complex, right?
-He is sitting right there. -See?
-Didn't I warn you then? -Wait.
Aunt...
Dad went to Vallalar complex, right?
Are you a fool? He is sitting right there, like rock solid!
-Didn't I tell you? This will blow up. -Keep quiet
What's going on with her? Why is she jumping?
Did you eat?
Yes, I had the breakfast you served me.
Didn't you say somebody was stalking you?
Is he still stalking you?
Yes, that rascal. He is here. He roams around the locality right now.
Did you take your medicines?
Medicines?
Ask her now.
Aunt...
Dad went to Vallalar complex, right?
Complex?
He never listens to me. He stays there all the time.
I ask him not to go. He never listens to me.
Let me convince him. I will speak to him.
-Why don't you sleep? -Go ahead and sleep.
Go now.
Please sleep.
She won't be a threat. How can you get him to the complex?
I don't think this will work out.
She's right.
If you plan out this one too, we'll follow suit.
-Hold him. -Be careful.
Tilt him.
Careful! Slowly.
-Careful -Slowly.
Be careful.
-Dad! -Oh my God!
Didn't I warn you already?
Dad!
Brother, look at our dad.
You never listen to me.
It's your friend. Amudha.
Amudha?
Amudha...
I don't think I can make it tomorrow.
Can you arrange somebody else for make-up?
Okay.
Shall I hang up? Take care.
Mani!
Mani, make it more darker.
She will nail it.
He won't recognize himself.
Once she is done, no one will be able to spot him.
Told you! She will nail it?
Look, he resembles his dad.
-Lift him up. -Careful.
Hold on.
What are you looking at? Tie it now.
Make it tight.
Nobody will recognise him, right?
Are you suspecting Mani?
If anybody recognizes father-in-law, I will go and lie down in the complex.
Move it aside.
-Please wait a minute. -What is it? Mani!
Oh my God.
-What is it? -I got no clue.
-I am back. -What is it?
Is he on a trip to Goa?
Wait. Hold on. One minute.
-What is it, Mani? -Mani?
Where is it? Here!
Murali...
-will anyone recognise him now? -No
Start moving.
Is the rickshaw here?
-Is it here? -I called them.
Mani!
Where is the rickshaw?
-Is it not here? -What do you mean?
-Mani? -It should have been here.
Vinayagam, you look so good.
Nobody will recognize him? A bloody old person recognised him.
-Hey! -Mani, where is the rickshaw?
-Oh my God! -Mani. Rickshaw?
Mani, where are you running?
What is it?
Brother, Parthi is here.
Parthi!
Oh my! My leg...
Don't wait for him to apologize. Keep moving!
Buddy, it's a broken couch.
Slowly. Make it slow.
-Hold his hand. -Hold it
My hand! Hand!
Hold him. Tight.
-Murali, watch out, the couch.. -Move the leg.
-It's broken. Wait. -Mani!
-Prema! -Prema.
-Mani, Come here. -Come here.
Prema, do something.
The door is open. Lock the door.
Why didn't you lock it?
-Obey me at least now. -Go ahead.
Quick!
Take this.
What is it?
You asked me to do something. I made tea.
-For whom? -Parthi!
You want to kill him too? Get inside.
You! Get inside!
Parama.
Mani, he is here.
Hide this. Run to him.
Brother-in-law!
Remove the slippers.
Dad, are you at home?
-Parama -Do something dear.
Mani!
I'm pissed. I'll go and lie in the complex! Quiet!
Brother-in-law!
Dad.
Parthi, come.
Brother-in-law, how are you?
Why are you quiet?
I have been knocking for so long. What took you so long?
-Where are the children? -Inside.
What happened?
Parama?
Mani, what happened to you?
Can you tell me what happened?
I wonder why I asked you.
Brother-in-law, tell me. What happened?
Parthi!
Your dad....
Murali!
-Let me take over. -Yes.
You tell him. My tears are choking me literally.
Parthi...
Dad, left us all.
I knew it!
You knew it?
Everyone at the complex knows about this.
Everybody knows?
We just decided that right now.
-Yes. -Decide?
Mani, pack our bags.
-Let's go. -Brother-in-law...
-Why are you worried about him eloping? -He eloped?
-Eloped? -Yes.
Didn't he elope with the Mallika from the complex?
Parthi, what do you mean? Who is she?
-She is our step-mother. -Mani...
Why do you talk about something else other than the topic on hand?
-Dear, how long has it been going on? -Yes, dear.
It's been going on for so long, it seems.
-I have witnessed it so many times. -Murali.
-Shall I take over? -Yes, go ahead.
-What is it? -Parthi.
Our father is no more!
Parama, what do you mean? How did it happen?
-Dad! -Parthi, no.
-Stop playing, sister-in-law. Give way! -Parama!
-Come here -Parthi, come here.
What will we do if you also die out of sorrow?
-Why would I die? -Come on.
Sit down.
Parama, how did it happen?
-Parama... -He was all smiles this morning.
He was always at the complex and now he went away with the complex.
Dad was...
That's how he used to smile at Mallika too.
-What happened? -Now look what happened.
Turn on the news.
I have always asked him not to visit the complex often.
-Had he listened, he would be alive. -Yes, he would be.
What's with the noose around your leg?
This is a sacred thread after offering prayers for our family.
-A nylon rope? -It has to be strong.
I don't know what I should cry for!
When will they hand over the body?
-Well... that... -Yes, dear.
This morning sometime after uncle left, the building collapsed.
-Prema! -Prema, it all got over this morning.
I wish you had been in the complex instead of my father-in-law.
-Play the news, Mani! -The news is not playing! Not my fault!
Parama, come on. Let's go to GH and check.
Go ahead.
Brother, our dad did not die in vain.
He had solved all our problems.
Mani, what do you mean?
Weren't you whining about your troubles, earlier today?
Look at that.
-Look at this? -Didn't you tell, you have heavy debt?
Brother, look at that.
They have announced a compensation of 20 lakhs for victim's family.
-They are still showing the corpses. -Oh my God!
Dad, did you do this to solve all our problems?
You passed away to solve my troubles.
Parthi, don't you worry.
Parthi, didn't you see that?
'To the families of those who died in the complex crash...'
'a compensation of 20 lakhs has been declared by the Government.'
Brother, I do understand your issues.
You can keep all the money.
If you give us just seven lakhs...
my husband will set up a biriyani shop like Parthi and make a living.
Yes, brother-in-law.
I was speaking to dad that four more lakhs will make me set up another shop.
I wonder if he died for my sake.
-You too, Parthi. -Yes, brother-in-law.
Mani, are you kidding me?
Didn't you say four lakhs is enough? Now you want seven lakhs?
He asks for four lakhs too. Where will I go?
-Mani, decide on a fair amount. -Is four lakhs enough to setup a shop?
Do you understand?
I'm selling Tomato rice in the name of Biriyani.
Dad!
Mani...
Dad...
'If everybody chooses to stay in earth forever....'
'There won't be enough space for us on earth '
Parama, let's go check on dad at GH.
Parthi!
What? Let's go.
- Parthi! - Parama, let's go.
Aren't you in dire need of money?
Yes.
I was postponing so as not to borrow the money
I can get the money through dad now, why should I refuse?
You need four lakhs of money, don't you?
Yes, why do you repeat the same question? Let's go.
Parthi...
-Dad.. -Dad?
Didn't I tell you? Even Parthi doesn't recognise him.
This isn't going to work.
-Parthi... -Don't let him go.
This won't work out.
-Parthi! -Hey...
-Hey? -Sorry, brother-in-law.
-Have you lost it? -Why?
-This won't work out. -What won't work out?
He is our dad. This is wrong.
He is my father-in-law. This is not wrong.
Damn, this fellow!
I understand, Parthi but I don't see any other option.
This is not about right or wrong. What if people find out?
I live a dignified life running a briyani shop.
Don't you want us to lead a dignified life running a briyani shop?
Brother-in-law! Mani won't you speak to him about this?
She did speak.
She suggested shifting uncle to the complex before Parthi arrives.
-Mind you! -Alright, you speak.
Of course, I spoke to them. Parthi, how would I stay silent?
I told brother not to do this.
Brother suggested we could pull this off.
Oh my goodness!
You devil! Why do you fabricate lies out of nothing?
Why have you always been a cry baby?
You have been bargaining with me since morning. Hey!
Change your expression and I will break your face!
Stop acting, will you?
-Dad... -Oh God!
Our dad is no more, but I try to be brave about it...
I was thinking about everyone's welfare.
-But you all make me the villain? -You should have split equal shares
-Unequal shares led to this. -Shut up. Let me talk.
Alright. Go ahead.
So, you want to announce his death to everyone, isn't it?
I know how to deal my problems.
I have battled my problems so far. I will continue it.
Aren't you the one who will do his last rites? Make it perfect.
If I find any shortcomings..
-Let me see. -Didn't I warn you? This isn't your job.
Yes, she did warn me. Hit me with your slippers please.
-Go ahead, I say -Shut up, I say.
What are you waiting for? Inform everyone that my father is no more.
Mani, you may start calling too.
Go ahead. Call everyone.
Call them.
Mani, inform everyone about this.
What?
Hey, kiddo.
Where is Nila?
Nila slept.
What now?
Grandpa's phone has been ringing for so long.
Alright, take him with you.
Alright, go ahead.
Dad, where is grandpa?
He has gone to the complex. He will be back soon.
No, he promised to play with me after having his tea.
No, kiddo...
He has gone to the complex to take care of something important.
He will be back. You go ahead.
Come on, dear.
You go and sleep, dear.
Not there. Go to grandpa's room.
Dear, brother-in-laws...
I am repeating what I said before.
Whatever you decide to do, make it quick.
They will take away all the bodies in the complex.
Then we won't be able to drop father-in-law's body there.
The children have started asking questions.
Brother, did you see my dad?
He came by, this morning.
He left saying that he is headed to the complex.
-Did he come after that? -No
No, right?
Father-in-law left to the complex this morning as usual.
Some time after he left, the news relayed that the building crashed.
-Did you search thoroughly? -They searched everywhere.
-He could not be found anywhere. -What are you saying?
We are not sure about what to do?
He hasn't returned home yet.
They say that everyone at the complex has died.
-Prashanth. -Parama, what is it?
-Did you see my dad anywhere? -No
No, right?
The news would have shattered Kanmani.
We are shattered too.
He said, he was headed for the complex. The complex has collapsed too.
I am not sure, what happened to him.
Everyone back home are scared.
They are taking all the bodies to the mortuary. He is nowhere to be seen.
He's not a kid. He must be around. He will be back soon.
I am not sure what to do. Ask him to come home if you see him.
Sure, I'll do that.
Government has announced 20 lakhs for the victim families.
Will you ask him to come home, if you see him? I am leaving.
He will be back. Be strong.
Everyone at the home are worried..
Not just Kanmani, we are shattered too.
See you.
-If you see him, ask him to come home. -I will
Parama, your wife bought some vegetables yesterday.
She has to pay around 130 Rupees.
-130 Rupees. -Yes.
The complex has collapsed they say but you're bothered about 130 Rupees?
Parama!
Mani, has Parthi come back?
Parthi, came and took Murali along.
Will you put him there carefully?
We will.
-Go ahead. -Mani...
Hold this.
Take that.
Hold this.
Brother-in-law, come this side.
Lift him up.
-Mind his hand. -Be careful.
That's it.
Mani, give me that.
-Hold it. -Hold.
-Lift it up. -Move aside.
Keep it here.
Turn it.
-Hold the lid. -Hold it.
-Hold the lid. -Be careful.
Hold it together.
Turn this side.
Roll that.
Aunt, open the door.
-Mom, open up. -He didn't see, did he?
-Mom, open the door. -Aunt, open up.
-You carry on. I will take care. -Go ahead.
-Kanmani, take care. -Go.
Mom, please open the door.
What was in the briyani pot?
Parthi uncle was...
-getting ready to make briyani. -No...
I saw grandpa's shirt in there.
That was...
It was an old shirt. Parthi is taking it with him.
Grandpa was wearing the same shirt today morning.
That's nothing. Come now.
Mom, why are you crying?
Who? I?
No...
-No -Do I look like I'm crying?
Why are you laughing so wild, like this?
-Be careful. -Don't let down.
Don't lose it.
-Prema! -Go and check. Go ahead.
This lady? Get inside.
Parama, come here.
-Murali, come inside. -Get inside.
-Sister, what do you want? -Prema, is it true?
I heard your father-in-law hasn't returned from the complex yet.
They say everyone inside the complex has died.
-What do we do now? -Did you tell Visala sister?
No, not yet.
You are right. Why should we worry her?
-Is it briyani? -Yes, sister.
I wonder if your uncle is fortunate to taste the briyani.
Who is this?
He is Mani's husband.
Has Mani come? Where is she?
Mani is sleeping. Sleeping.
Mani kept crying. She is now not feeling well. She is sleeping now.
Alright, let her sleep.
Tell me, if you need anything.
And...
I hope Mani's husband is stable.
He is a little unstable.
Since father-in-law hasn't come he can't take it.
-Dear father-in-law! -Alright, I am leaving.
How could you leave us alone?
She left?
Parthi...
Is she the Mallika from the complex?
Mallika herself has a complex. Come on now.
Hold it.
-Murali, come here. -Hey, Murali.
Where are you off to?
They have announced two lakhs for those who are hurt at the complex.
We can make use of aunt. She's jobless anyway.
Murali!
Prema, let's get through this trouble at once.
What is this?
This will do.
Will you do it? Go ahead.
One deathly blow is enough...
for you...
and we shall get 20 lakhs more.
Mani will accept it if we offer her ten lakhs.
Shall I prepare another briyani pot?
Let's get to business. Set that aside.
Lift it up.
Wait. Turn it around.
-Careful. -Be careful
Slowly.
Be careful.
Place it down.
Wait. Hold on.
Be careful. Don't let it open up.
-Look out. -Hold it from here.
-Go there. -Let me go there.
Murali, push it in.
Hold the bottom.
-Twist it around. -Turn it.
Close the door.
-Come on, quick. -Start the car.
Let's go.
Quick.
Murali, let's carry dad inside with the pot itself.
-Nobody will question a briyani pot. -Yes.
Let's say that we are offering briyani to those who are hurt.
Murali, it's the police.
Go ahead.
-Sir, five minutes -Don't stop here. It'll create traffic.
Keep moving.
-What shall we do? -Keep moving, don't stop the vehicle.
Move the vehicle. Keep moving.
-What shall we do now? -Murali, don't worry.
If we enter the narrow lane, there will be a road at the back.
Going by that road, we surely can put dad in the complex.
Parama, I am scared.
-Parthi, what's this? -Parthi, please wait.
Take this left.
Parthi, hold onto dad.
There is no use in holding onto him hereafter.
-Go straight. -It leads to the back of the complex?
Yes, go straight.
Once we reach the complex. Don't panic and spoil the plan.
There will be no crowd at the back of the complex.
-Alright. -There is a lane.
If we manage to get in the lane, we shall do the job with ease.
-Pull over the vehicle. -Wait.
-Pull over. -Wait.
Stop the car. Stop it.
Parama, police are everywhere.
What if we get caught?
Parthi, we didn't risk everything for this?
Wait, we will find a way.
No. Parama I am happy with my one briyani shop.
Parthi, you have got at least one.
I haven't even got one. Please wait.
You two please shut up. Let me go and check.
-Alright? -Okay.
Parthi!
-Is that police? -Oh my God!
I asked you to check if that's police.
So, they are not here?
What is the crowd over there? Clear them out.
Murali, come here.
Go now.
-Hey, it's the police. -Oh God!
Lift him up.
Be careful.
Careful
Parama hold him. That's it.
Climb inside. You first.
Place him here.
Get down.
-Come quick. -Get down quick.
-Wait... wait... -What?
Brother-in-law...
Come on. Let's go.
So you managed to put his corpse in the complex?
Parama, tell me.
There was no problem.
-We did it fine. -Will you shut up?
Parama, what happened?
Nothing.
Why are your legs trembling?
I told you, it's nothing.
It's nothing. Leave me alone.
Prema, will you keep quiet?
What now?
Do we have to check at the GH ourselves? Or will the corporation inform us?
That won't be necessary.
Parthi, your friend Kathir works at Tahsildar's office, right?
Call him.
Explain this to him and ask about the procedure and when we'll get the money?
Parama, is that so important?
Think about how to get our dad's body from GH.
Dad's body will reach us somehow.
Please call and ask him.
Parthi, we took all the risk only for this.
Call him first.
Do it.
Brother, dad's funeral should be grand.
Mani, why do you worry?
Of course it will be grand. You got to take care of the make-up for this too.
Parama...
People from the corporation won't be this fast.
It might be the police. Why don't you go and check?
Mani, pack our bags.
Where is Vinayagam?
Move aside. Vinayagam!
What's up? Vinayagam!
Vinayagam!
Why doesn't he pick up my calls? Call him. Vinayagam!
You guys won't believe. We got a new life today.
We must first visit Lord Annamalair. Call him. Vinayagam!
Vinayagam!
-Dad was at the complex... -That's what I was also saying.
Me and your dad walked out of the complex together.
We had a tea.
He went to his home and I went to my home.
I learnt from the news that the complex crashed.
If we had stayed in for 10 more minutes.
We both would have died.
Thanks to Lord Annamalaiyar for that. Call him now. Vinayagam!
Call him.
Where is he?
Dad left for the complex again.
What are you saying?
Why did he go to the collapsed complex again? To save anybody?
No, that's not how you say.
Uncle came home and left to the complex again.
-It collapsed again and we searched... -What are you blabbering?
It would have been more than an hour. There is no chance.
Call him. Vinayagam!
Dad is not here. I wonder how he returned to complex again.
Why does everyone repeat the same thing?
-I can't believe it. -Dad is not here.
The complex collapsed 10 minutes after we stepped out.
No. Something's fishy here.
Each of you are giving a different story but it's sounds alike.
Do we have to share the money with him?
I must take care of you like how you take care of grandpa.
This is all I got. Please take this and bring him to the crematorium.
God! This is not my father.
Where is my father?
(Funeral rites song)
'Take a look at your father's face. I am going to break the pot'
'Did you all see his face? Has the last rites been done?'
'Has the last rites been done? I am going to break the pot.'
