Kutumba Gauravam

'KUTUMBA GOWRAVAM'

Polish.. 'Satyam. Self-employment Scheme.'

Polish. Bombay polish. Calcutta polish.

This isn't ordinary polish that everyone uses, sir.

This is special and authentic polish.

Ma'am..

Come on, ma'am. Come here. Stand here.

Which polish do you want?

Polish for everyone. Polish for good and bad.

Male polish for females. Female polish for males.

This is the polish used by M.A. students like you.

Come on, ma'am. Raise your leg.

It's a shoe, not leg.

If I ask you to raise your leg, it sounds romantic.

But if ask you to raise your shoe, it sounds violent.

That's why I said so.

Do you really hold a master's degree?

You don't have to doubt that. You can check my certificates.

I passed B.A. with first class. I'm a class one grade M.A. student.

As a post-graduate

why do you pass the time touching strangers feet?

It's not my pastime. It's a self-supporting scheme.

I'm determined to finance my own education.

So, this is a small effort.

When you talk about touching strangers' feet..

Place the other foot here.

A king like Vasudeva had to touch the feet of a donkey.

So what's wrong if I touch your feet?

You are not a stranger.

You are a beautiful woman.

The relationship that begins at the feet

it is said that it will last forever.

Look at it now. You don't need a mirror.

You can comb your hair looking into it. Look.

How much? - Rs. 3.50. Three rupees and fifty paisa.

You're asking Rs. 3.50 for what costs 50 paisa. It's unfair.

It's not atrocious or outrageous. It's my price.

I'm a graduate who polishes shoes. Take out the money.

This is unfair. I'll call the police.

If you call the police, I'll report it to our shoe polish union.

No one in this town will polish your shoes again.

A polish from an M.A. student is not cheap.

Thinking that people with pretty legs as kind-hearted is my mistake.

Enough of it. Go away.

Such a miser!

"Marital life.."

"Adds meaning to a man's life."

"Marital life adds meaning to a man's life."

Sir, post.

Hey, your uncle wrote this letter from London.

He wrote a letter.

Letter from London-based uncle..

'My respects to the honourable mother.'

'My salutations to the elder brother and sister-in-law.'

'My final year exams are over.'

'With the blessings of God and you all'

'I believe I'll pass the exams.'

'Tell sister-in-law that I remember'

'that she wants to visit Tirupati as soon I return to India.'

I've told.

'Mother always worries about my health.'

'But I always think of her well-being.'

'Mother, I haven't taken to any bad habits.'

'Even coffee, I just take once in a day.'

'Satyam, you are determined to finance your education.'

'You should get the first rank in the university exams'

'and uphold our brother's name.

'And now..'

Why did you stop, Father?

This part is addressed to me.

It's for me.

Taking good care of my mother

and helping the siblings to grow up

is not a burden to any son, Uncle.

It's my responsibility.

It pains me

that I couldn't help my brothers establish themselves in life.

I had to mortgage the house that my father built.

Listen, Rama Rao.

I loaned you money because I trust you, and not take over the house.

It's on your insistence that we mortgaged the house.

Look.

I'm not asking you to pay me the interest

along with Rs. 1.5 Lakh that I loaned you.

Someday I will approach you and seek a favour from you.

You should not turn me down then. That's all.

Definitely, Uncle.

My brothers and I are deeply indebted to you.

I will pay back your every rupee of your loan.

How much do you need now?

Rs. 15,000.

If you give it, I'll immediately send it to my brother.

Hi, Sharath. - Hello, darling.

My brother sent me money. - Very good.

Now, you can get over your worries

study well and pass the exams with first class, can't you?

Yes.

Mother. Lakshmi.

Lakshmi..

Mother. - What is it?

Brother sent a cable. He passed with distinction in his exams.

Leela.

Your uncle passed his exam.

Son, when will Sharath return? - He'll be here within a week.

Kiran, tell this to uncle Satyam.

Shall we hire that Taxi? - Yes.

Where to, ma'am? - Go to the airport.

My sister is returning from London. Her flight might've arrived by now.

Don't worry, ma'am.

My brother is coming on the same flight.

It'll take another half an hour to arrive.

You!

You swindled Rs. 3.50 from me yesterday.

You've come in the guise of a taxi driver today.

How much do you want to fleece now? Stop the taxi.

Stop, I say.

What? What is it?

What's the fuss about?

Don't bluster. Isn't your name Satyam?

Aren't you doing a master's? - Oh!

I see.

Ma'am, I'm not Satyam.

My name is Shivam. Satyam is my brother.

He's a rascal. He is mendacious.

Did he tell you that he passed B.A.?

He said he passed B.A. with first class

and he is doing his master's. - He'd say that.

In his lexicon

B.A. means Bachelor of Falsehood.

And M.A. means Master of Falsehood.

He is a scoundrel. He is giving me a bad name.

Are you twins?

Not twins, but triplets.

Satyam, Shivam and Sundaram.

You haven't seen my brother. He is more handsome than us.

He's good at academics. He's a good match for a girl like you.

What? - I didn't mean you were the one.

All right. What is the fare?

The fare is Rs. 10. You should pay me Rs. 20.

Why so? - What can I say?

Deepavali is approaching. We've many expenses.

Satyam, Shivam and Sundaram. Theirs is a big family.

We can celebrate Deepavali if people like you are a bit generous.

Oh! Let's pay him and leave, Shanti.

Give me, please.

Satyam. - He's my elder brother.

Shivam. - It's me.

Sundaram. - He's my younger brother.

Bye, ma'am.

Daddy, though I was in London for three years

you didn't come to visit me even once.

I felt so sad.

Dear, I'm a big proprietor. - A factory proprietor.

In this state, I'm a big magnate. - Business magnate.

How would I get free time?

I was still talking to you every day on this one.

Telephone. - Yes.

Did you finish this in London? - Your education.

Right. - Yes, Daddy.

Did you get this or that?

Pass or fail?

I passed, Daddy,

Congratulations, dear. - Thank you.

What was the course you studied?

Diploma in interior decoration.

I didn't ask you. - Uncle

I thought Durga was also forgetful like you.

I'm her cousin and also her future husband.

Like I help you now, I'll have to help her with vocabulary in future.

Do you think she is a labour in a factory?

She is foreign-returned.

If you do anything foolish, she'll respond very sternly.

It's enough.

Don't so rude because he's your cousin.

Hari, take her luggage upstairs.

Pramila! Pramila is now as tall as I am.

Mother. - Son..

Mother..

Son, you have.. - I haven't become feeble.

In fact, you've slimmed down more than I've in the last three years.

Sister-in-law, I've brought something for you.

I'll give it to you when you are in the prayer room.

Uncle, what did you get for us?

Those suitcases are filled with presents all meant for you.

Take it. Be careful.

I've bought a watch for you.

It's really good.

I wanted to gift you something very valuable.

But I couldn't find anything more valuable than this.

Here it is. The degree I've earned.

There can be nothing more valuable than this to me.

Why are you closing the door? - I need to have a word with you.

What is it?

Uncle, you've brought me up like your own son. - Why wouldn't I?

You are my partner's brother. - You mean wife? - So, I've to

So, I had to take care of you.

Why are you massaging my legs? - Durga is here.

You once said you'd marry her to me. When are you going to?

Haven't I made you the president of the Labour Union?

Haven't I asked you to make sure that no problems arise?
