Suryakantham (సూర్యకాంతం)

Hey, here towards the screen.

Hey you! Yeah you turn this side.

Look, I will tell you one thing, I'll tell you just once.

Don't over react after I say.

Don't consume alcohol and smoke cigarettes, you'll die.

Mr. Sekhar...

Reading paper, huh?

Nah! I'm milking a cow.

Can't you see, I'm reading the newspaper?

Here.

Holy offering from the Lord Lakshmi Narasimha temple in Arunachalam. Take it.

When did Lord Lakshmi Narasimha shift to Arunachalam from Simhachalam?

Oh my god!

-Priest. -Yes?

A lizard fell on my son. You should do something about it.

-A Lizard? -Yes.

-On your son? -Yes.

These lizards have no other business but to jump around.

First give these Vibhuti from Shivakanchi to your son.

-He'll get to the safe zone. -Hmm...

With that you will have enough money for this month.

Madam, put this Vibhuti on your son and come back.

He might turn me into ashes in the mean time.

Priest, was the holy offering made in the temple or at home?

Oh, Lord! No!

Ugh, mom! What is this?

Your face is glowing, son. My cute little munchkin!

Stop it, mom!

Priest, my son's face started glowing as soon as I applied Vibhuti.

Did you apply fair and lovely by accident?

Ah, come on!

I don't know what you're going to do, priest.

My son has to get married as soon as possible.

A perfect alliance comes calling for your son.

Yeah, sure. Look. Your phone's ringing.

It's not mine. It's yours.

Hello.

Okay.

Alright...

Ask them to send me her picture on my Whatsapp.

Okay. Thank you.

Who was that, dear?

-My colleague from the Bank, Ramesh. -Yes.

I asked him to find an alliance for our son giving his photo.

He showed our son's photo to someone. They like him.

They want to arrange the alliance at the earliest.

-Is it? -Yes.

Thank you, Lord!

Hi, sister. Hi, brother-in-law.

Hello, Mr. Crooked Priest.

-Hey, Sunny, -Yes?

Abhi had been offered an alliance just now.

He's in trouble.

You talk to them first and arrange a meet.

I'll do it in a snap.

-Marriage? -Yes.

Priest, how do you say we proceed now?

As per your son's horoscope...

He'll have a blissful marriage only if the alliance is held at your place.

What? Is the alliance for me?

Priest, we couldn't understand your chants up until today.

-Now I can't even understand your words. -That means...

You don't have to visit their house for the meet up.

-They'll be coming here... -Damn! How can I get married so soon?

Anyways, I've seen things much weird.

Mom!

Dear, what are you waiting for?

Call them right now and invite them home.

Mr. Sasthry... Generally, the bride offers everyone coffee at an alliance.

Generally bride servers coffee when we visit her house for matches.

Yes.

Is the groom going to do it in this case?

It feels really weird to be visiting your house for the alliance.

Isn't it?

But the priest suggested we do it at our house.

Who's this guy?

My brother...

By God's grace, if everything goes as per plan, he'll be getting married next.

God won't be gracious with him.

Sister, no! Sister, no!

He's Abhi's uncle but they're really close buddies.

Oh. Just like Rama and Laxmana.

Nah. More like Hanuman and his tail.

Sister, no!

Marriage is waste, damn it!

Buffalo looks upset.

-Abhi... -Yeah?

How long are you going to take? Everyone's waiting for you downstairs.

No uncle! I'm not coming.

Alright. I'll go down and tell them.

Uncle...

What?

I'll be there in 5 minutes. Don't bother me.

He's taking so long to shower. I wonder what he does in bed.

Aunty, where's the washroom?

-It's right there, dear. -Oh.

I'll go with her, aunty.

Hey! Actually, I've been trying to tell you something.

Did you notice this? One daughter is Pooja and the other Archana.

Do your parents visit the temple daily?

Imagine if you had another brother they would name him as Prasad,

and if another sister they would name her Harathi.

Hmm. That covers all the prayer material.

You're so funny!

I said I'm coming right? If they can't wait...

Ask them to come to my room, we can have the alliance here itself.

You?

Okay then. Shall we have the alliance here?

Sorry.

Hmm.

So you didn't even take a look at my photo.

I'm Pooja.

Oh, crap! Abhi.

Abhishek.

You have all my details.

I've checked them at school.

That scar...

2009... No, wait.

Umm... may be 2010.

Inter school football tournament...

You banged to the goal post while blocking a goal.

Deep cut and 2 stitches.

You were the man of the match.

What the... How do you know so much about me?

Because I'm also from Johnson Grammar High School.

Johnson Grammar High School...

You wouldn't remember me.

I looked kind of different back then.

I had big glasses and wearing braces on my teeth.

Okay.

Well you know the parents' usual rules, don't you?

Once the girl turns 25, they will kill us to get married.

I got around 3-4 alliances each day.

And then I came across your photo yesterday. I agreed right away.

What?

-To the alliance, I mean. -Okay.

Sister...

everyone's waiting for you.

Abhi really loves lemon rice. Do you like it too?

I wonder what else Pooja likes.

-She loves to sleep and bunk work. -Is it?

And she loves watching late night movies more than anything.

Good habits.

Hello, Abhi.

Hello, Abhi.

Hi, Pooja.

What are you doing?

Texting you.

Really?

Alright, What's up?

I want to watch a movie, I'm so bored.

I'll text back in an hour.

Hello.

Don't you feel sleepy?

I do.

But I'm doing the best thing to stay awake.

Really? What's that?

I'll tell you something. Don't tell anyone, okay?

Okay.

You shouldn't judge me.

I won't. Tell me.

Actually, I was surfing something.

A weird link popped up.

And I clicked on it out of curiosity.

A movie named 'Come tonight, Karate Champ' started playing.

Oh, my god!

It's some crazy stuff.

Are you feeling sleepy?

I'm fully awake with that.

What are you thinking?

Nothing.

Good boy!

-Go study now. -Alright. Bye.

You go enjoy 'Come tonight, Karate champ'.

Hey!

Don't make me hit you.

-Okay, bye! -Bye.

Ping me if you need anything.

-Sure. -Bye.

I expected the hero to kill the villain.

But the heroine killed the hero instead.

Something new, isn't it?

-That's how Hollywood movies are. -Oh, really?

Did you like the movie?

Hmm... I'm not sure.

Exactly!

We should either like the movie or hate it.

I hate it when it's confusing.

What?

Nothing.

I was just checking if you've changed with time.

So, what do you think?

I couldn't understand. You're the same but different.

You were more mischievous back then.

Everything changes with time, Pooja.

Everything!

Abhi... Carry on.

See... You look better like this.

Yeah!

I'll tell you something.
