Hey!

Run I say.

Thanks for taking me out.

I would be meeting someone next week, I told you.

If all goes well , we can go abroad.

Daddy, power gone.

Wait, I'll come.

Daddy, don’t you fear darkness?

No.

Big Dinosaur?

Never.

You fear Mummy only.

Daddy, draw a sparrow?

Daddy its tickling..

It's tickling..

Uncle, my mummy calls aunty.

Amudhaa, house-owner wants to meet you.

What for, at this time?

Ok, take care of this dosai.

Water is not at all coming.

Also tell her about blockade in toilet.

Evening, my husband phoned.

But you didn’t answer, it seems.

We were in the beach.

It was noisy there.

I have been thinking of telling you.

Daddy, I am the lion.

You are the mouse.

Right?

Now, run.

Hey mouse, lift me.

Amudhaa!

Amudhaa!

Shall we have mummy also in the game?

Ok, we can include.

Where is your mummy?

Amudhaa!

Can't even prepare a dosai.

He has blackened it.

What’s the matter?

What happened?

It's you I am asking.

These days the woman speaks nonsense.

If I ask her to switch on the water-motor she dislikes it and frowns.

If I dry our clothes in the terrace, all our clips go missing.

Raised the rent as usual?

Wants us to vacate.

Saying all too suddenly.

Of course, they will.

Are you keeping us in a palace?

Hey, mouse. Why are you standing here?

The lion Is here. Just run.

Shut up, or I will beat you.

Go somewhere.

At least three months’ notice to be given to the tenant, you know.

Should drag them to court.

Rubbish.

She stand right in the middle of the street and shout, you know.

Straightaway she asked us to vacate.

And that’s it.

Don’t fuss Siddhu.

First, let’s leave this locality.

We should vacate before 4th of May, she says.

Damn her, who is she to give us a month’s time?

Let’s find a new house and go in a week’s time.

If we give two hundred rupees more..

We can get a house near to your school.

Siddhoo!

Listen to me.

"In good and bad times.."

"Let You be my loving mother"

Stone.. Paper.. Scissor.

Stone.. Paper.. Scissor.

Apart from that Rs.300 for cleaning the front yard and drawing ‘kolam’.

Maintenance Rs.500.

Let’s delete all numbers Shalini.

Let us part.

Enough of this game.

He came from this side and she came from the other side.

Deleting the numbers?

Look at me and say.

Is this just a game to you?

Come, let us eat. Feeling hungry.

Were you in love with some Shalini?

It's the name of a character in the movie.

I like the name. Thats all.

If I had cheated by not marrying you, what would you have done?

A scene before the intermission.

Always story for you, no?

So much concern for those in the story.

Show at least a little of it to those by your side..

This sounds great!

Say it once again! Once more

Oh, please eat.

I don’t like paying 1 month rent as broker’s commission.

If we try a little harder, can’t we find one?

Wait.. let me check.

People have come to see the house.

Go, have a look.

How's it doing?

What’s this, dull-run in the city also?

They said there is fight, sentiment, comedy – everything.

It was aimed at non elite people.

Damn it, spending crores and crores and making a movie – still, no returns at all.

See the evening collection and then call me.

Greetings! Fine

We will have big artistes and make a grand movie.

Ok, Sir.

Contacted any hero?

No, Sir.

I will call him up. Go and see.

After New Moon day.

Come and see me after 15th.

- Right? - Ok, Sir.

- Bye. - Thanks sir.

When you go out, give the key to me.

Yesterday evening two came to see the house.

How can I show it to someone if you lock and go out.

Ilango, there is a bag at the back. Take it.

There is a bottle inside.

This is the product.

Pickles, sir?

Yes, Maavadu of our soil.

Write three or four concepts on it, will you?

Yes, sir..

Don’t write the usual stuff.

Write an emotional story.
