Liger (లైగర్)

Ladies and Gentlemen,

this is the day we’ve all been waiting for.

It’s time

for the final night of the championship!

Introducing, of our first contenders

from the night from United States of America

James Howards.

And now

His opponent from India

The slumdog of the streets of Mumbai,

the chaiwala

Liger!

To make a man’s life hell,

God lovingly made these dolls called women.

And this here is one such doll.

I hate her.

But I still keep running after her.

I need to tell you all what really happened.

But I don’t know how to narrate a story.

Even then, I’ll try to narrate it.

Move it!

What is this?

It’s a tea stall. -Did you get the permission

This area is mine.

So, pay me a weekly rent.

Weekly rent.

I won’t say it. -What did you say?

You are going to feel bad about it.

Tell me!

Hey!

Why are you creating a ruckus out here?

You think this place belongs to your father?

Did your mother bequeath it to you or did your grandfather pass it down?

What do you think of us?!

We are straight from the heart of Karimnagar.

We’ll put chilli powder in your eyes and electrocute your bottom.

Oh God!

Stop sharpening it.

Do you know who I am?

My name is Mallesh.

I don’t think he is someone who will listen.

Take out the weapons!

Brother! Brother! Look, brother!

Please save me, brother.

Please, -Are you crazy?

These are daddy’s men.

They will kill you.

I don’t know him.

Do you want to beat him?

Beat him

Dear!

Catch him.

Brother! Brother! Brother! Wait.

Come on, just wait up.

Ever since I was little, I always prayed to God.

I know how God looks like.

But, today, I can see the presence of God in you.

You are my God.

What’s your name, brother?

Why are you smiling at me instead of telling me your name?

Brother, you saved my life.

I am not going to move from here without finding out your name.

What is your name, brother?

Li,

Li,

Li..

Li..

What? -You stutter?

How is it that you look so good but sound so horrible?!

Were you stuttering since your childhood or is it a recent development?

Brother, if I told people that I was saved by someone who stutters this badly, they are going to laugh at me.

Instead of dragging it along

Why don’t you just say your name out all at once?

Brother is going to tell us his name. Go on and applaud him.

K,K,

I will kill you, jerk!

Don’t ,don’t, ,show yourself to me ever!

Don’t you get what he’s trying to say?

He’s telling you to get,.get!get out of here! -Brother!brother!

Don’t show yourself to him. Don’t disturb him.

I am from Karimnagar as well. My parents and in-laws are from Karimnagar.

Don’t you know how dangerous we are? Get out of here.

Brother, I am from Karimnagar as well.

We are all the same.

We should get along well with each other.

Don’t you think so?

Why did you come from Karimnagar to Mumbai?

Who are you looking for?

Ma,ma, (Stutter)

I want to meet the master.

Wh,wh,why?

What did you say? What the hell did you say?

Tell me, what did you say?

You said something.

Ch,Ch,

I need to meet Christopher Master.

No, you changed it. I don’t believe you.

Say it out loud. -Ganpath.

Master.

I will deal with you later.

Sir, my name is Balamani.

We came from Karimnagar.

This is my son.

I want to see him as an MMA National Champion.

I’ve heard people say that you are the appropriate person to teach him.

That is why we left everything behind and came here.

Do you know what MMA means?

Yes, Mixed Martial Arts.

What is your name?

Li,Li,

Li,Liger.

Tiger?

No, it’s not Tiger.

It’s Liger.

He was born to a Lion and a Tigress.

That is why we named him Liger.

My son is a cross-breed, sir.

Do you know Martial arts?

A lit, A lit,

A little.

What did you learn?

Je,Je,Je,

Jeet Kune Do

The same style as yours.

Alright, there are brochures outside.

There are details regarding the fees in them. Pay the fees and I’ll begin teaching him.

We don’t have any money, sir.

You need to teach him for free.

Teach him for free?

Listen, madam.

I am not doing an act of social service.

Absolutely no chance of teaching him for free.

I am sorry. Please try your luck elsewhere.

Do you remember the 2004 National MMA championship, sir?

That was the first match you had ever lost in your life.

Balram defeated you in the semi finals and went on to the finals.

But he died in a knock out.

That Lion Balram,

was my husband.

Before he went to the finals,

he told me something.

And now, my son says the same thing.

I couldn’t see my husband as a champion.

At the least, I should see my son as a champion.

I am saying this once again, sir.

We don’t have money to pay you.

He will stay right here.

He’ll do anything and everything that you ask him to.

You are our sole hope.

Liger.

How do you see yourself?

Wh,

what?

When you look at yourself in the mirror,

who do you see?

Fighter.

That is the only thing that I can say without stammering.

I, was born to a fighter.

and I grew up with another fighter.

I am going to leave this world as a fighter.

Because I,

I’m a fighter.

My, my,

My name is Liger.

I like your confidence.

But there is an arrogance that lies underneath that confidence.

Tame it.

Remember one thing.

Mother and Father can only name you.

But it’s up to the son to live up to his name.

From tomorrow onwards, learn the work around here.

I will think on it and decide on when to start your training.

One more thing,

I have a rule.

Focus.

Focus on Martial Arts.

Stay away from girls.

I don’t know any girls.

I,

I don’t want a girl.

I’ve become the girl who stole your heart.

I can bring the chills with just a little smile.

I am a little bit of good and a little bit of crazy.

Won’t the tiger be seduced by my looks?

I am the girl who stole your heart. I am the one.

I shaped myself according to your tastes. I like myself as me.

The one who tries to mess with me is going to be killed.

I am not some ordinary girl that you can mess with.

The world is going to know all about it very soon.

Write it down and keep a picture of me with you.

My name is going to ring in every street.

I’ve become the girl who stole your heart.

I can bring the chills with just a little smile.

I am a little bit of good and a little bit of crazy.

Won’t the tiger be seduced by my looks?

Circumstances are not the same for anyone

One day is yours; the next day is mine,

God knows who is going to hunt

and who going to die.

Li,Li,Liger.
