Hey! Husband! - What is it?

He took the milk! - He might be full now,...

...give it to him after a while. - I'm not talking about the baby.

This man took a photo of me breastfeeding.

How dare you! - No, uncle!

Sir, sir. I also drank milk as a child. There's nothing wrong...

...with it. I took it with cover. You were watching too.

Stay right there, let me take another.

Thank you.

Sherley! - Hi, Dileep, how are you?

Okay, thank you. You can go.

Sherley, just one minute, please. - Sure.

Bye.

How was your trip abroad, Sherley?

Just fantastic. I should thank your boss for the trip.

No, it's your beauty you should thank. Here you go.

Thank you.

My boss is awaiting your return more eagerly than your own family.

Is that so? - Yes, naturally. You don't know...

...your own value. You were just a girl when you left.

But, you are invaluable now. - What do you mean?

You will understand soon.

Who is this, sir? - Miss India. She's popular now.

It used to be me standing still, while she walked around, posing.

Now, she's still, while I walk around taking photos.

She was perfectly fine just yesterday, when she returned...

...from the airport. And today?

Ladies and gentlemen, Oberoi Fabrics have great pleasure in...

...inviting you all to this grand gala farewell function of the...

...beauty queens!

The VIP who will preside over this function is none other than...

...our MD, the business magnate of India, Mr Oberoi.

On behalf of Oberoi Fabrics, we have selected three beauties to...

...travel overseas. They are Ms Sharadha, a dancer.

Ms Swapna, a singer. Ms Radha, a model.

Ms Swapna is set for Paris.

Ms Radha is set for Germany.

Mr Oberoi will now crown these beauties...

...who will be leaving tomorrow.

"South Indian beauties set to travel overseas"

"France"

How do you like this country, Swapna?

It's very nice. I've wanted to come here since forever.

I'm very lucky. I never thought I would come here this soon.

I am grateful to Mr Oberoi.

Thank you.

"Germany"

"America" - I must really thank you and...

...Mr Oberoi for this unexpected trip to America, Mr John.

It's been a pleasure.

Hello? Is it Dileep? - Yes.

I knew you wouldn't have gone. What are you doing now?

I am eating breakfast, sir. - By the time you finish,...

...and then take a shower, get dressed, start the car and...

...reach the airport, the girls would have reached!

Who will take pictures then?

Hi!

One minute, one minute. - Give way, please.

Hello, Radha, how are you? - Hi, Dileep, I'm fine.

One minute, Sharadha! One still, please.

Bye.

Sir, please move, I missed Sharadha.

I'll have to go to her house to take the picture.

Kusala! Do it for both of us!

Was everything okay, dear? I was so worried about you.

Why would you worry?

Oh, God! You're stupid! Are you blind? Didn't you see the car?

Do you know how much it costs? It's not like your cheap camera!

There's nothing to worry about, dear. He did hit it, but it...

...didn't break. He may have grazed it, but there isn't any damage.

There aren't even any scratches. He braked at the best...

...possible moment! - Thank you.

Don't mention it. It's perfectly all right!

Was my English correct, dear? - Be quiet, daddy!

Some random stranger just entered our house, and instead of...

...chasing him out, you're congratulating him!

Wait, wait. - Who are you? Why are you here?

Sharadha! - Wait, wait.

He is entering the house! - Who allowed you in?

Please smile a little. Don't frown. - Stupid! Daddy!

Whatever. Don't get too close. Then, I can't focus. Move back.

I said, get out! - Can I get another,...

...in black and white? - Did you not hear me?

Do it again, like you just did, with your arm stretched out.

If you take another photo, I will kill you, rascal!

Beautiful. - Daddy!

Are you related to me in any way? Are you my boyfriend?

No. - Are you my lover?

No. But, I don't mind. Yes, that's all.

Does it bite? Has it had all the injections?

Stop, stop. Don't take the photo! The family is already quite...

...confused. Don't add to it. Cover up, woman!

Do you see, daddy? That idiot took photos of me and the dog!

Who? - The idiot who entered our house...

...without permission the other day!

Turn to page 7. Dancing Queen Sharadha has filed a lawsuit...

...against this company. She was 18 when she won the pageant.

Upon her return from overseas,...

...she filed a lawsuit against the photographer Dileep and...

...his company for taking photos of her against her will.

Hi, Sharadha. How are you? - Hi, I'm fine, thank you.

It's been a while since I've seen you in the beauty parlor.

What happened?

Just like that. I had quite a number of dance programs, you know.

That's why I couldn't come. - That's fine.

Excuse me. - Carry on, I'll join you later.

You! - You are an art.

Nonsense! Stupid! Rascal!

Let me go!

You bloody!

Mr Lakshmikanth, what kind of company are you running?

You said you would send the photographer Dileep yesterday!

No. - I am sick of your excuses!

Are you developing this?

The photos, or love?

Is this a dark room, or a darling room?

I'll tear it up!

Sir. - Your love has become more...

...important than your job, has it? Stop picking it up.

And stop trying to pick up women.

Pack everything up, and place the stand in that bag.

Bring the van.

Are you tired? - It's okay.

But, the shots were beautiful today, the angles. You're going...

...home, aren't you? I'll drop you.

Thank you. Please come in. Have a seat.

This is my apartment. Please take your seat.

Coffee? Why are you gawking at me?

You went in looking like a girl, and you came out looking...

...like a grown lady. - Those appearances are for...

...the stage. Of course, I'm not the same at home.

Is the coffee good? - Well, try it.

It doesn't smell like apartment coffee, but like coffee from...

...a Brahmin family. Who made it? - I did.

Is it? Good. Who else is at home? - It's just me and my mother.

She has asthma.

What about your father? - He became another's husband.

My mother became dependent on sleeping pills because of her...

...worry about my dad leaving. It's become a disease.

Now, both sleep and sadness are her constant companions.

She was incredibly devoted. But I can't blame God for this.

He never studied medicine, so how could He have cured her?

See this? This was me when I was young.

Back then, I was terrified of cameras. My mother used to say...

...that even showing my ankles was shameful.

She was so protective of me. And yet, here I am now, posing...

...in all sorts of ways for the very same mother.

Hello, Dileep? - Do you have any siblings?

If I did, I would be a respectful daughter-in-law of some household.

Not in modelling.

Did I say something wrong? - No. It is better to be honest...

...to yourself, than to live a fake life for others.

You are unique, not only in modelling, but in life as well.

I like you. Bye.

After this, if anyone asks if you have a brother, don't say no...

...because I'm here. Thank you for the coffee. See you.

You can go ahead. I'll come inside after a swim.

Okay. Don't stay in the water too long. You'll catch a cold.

Dileep!

Dileep!

Dileep, there was someone in the water.

They tried to kill me! They pulled my leg!

Who would come here? - No, Dileep. I swear it.

Yes, Dileep! I can't, Dileep. I can't.

Please save me. - Come out of the water first.

Please believe me, Dileep. - Come on.

Dileep, I'm really scared. Let's leave.

People usually only dream when they're sleeping, but you're...

...daydreaming while swimming. There's no one else here but me.

I promise! Someone pulled my leg. - It could be some monster.

Shall I look for it? - Everything's a joke to you.

Let's go.

What's this scar?

Can you never be serious? Come on. - Fine, I'm asking seriously.

What is that scar? - When I was in America,...

...on a trip sponsored by Oberoi Fabrics, I happened to pass out...

...while swimming. The scar is from a surgery that apparently took...

...place while I was unconscious. One of Oberoi's men saved me and...

...admitted me to the hospital.

I see. That's probably why you are...

...still scared of swimming pools.

Tiring day, wasn't it?

You said your mother wasn't feeling well. How is her health now?

She seems better at the nursing home now.

Don't worry too much. I think she will be all right.

Excuse me. Excuse me, excuse me.

Big boss! I haven't seen you in ages. You're not in Madras anymore?

Hi! My wife is home, so I can't go out much.

I'll be going out next Sunday though. I'll bring a car. Be ready.

Okay, then. Bye.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We are delighted to have you at...

...the 60th birthday celebration of the esteemed businessman of...

...Tamil Nadu, Oberoi. On behalf of our committee, we extend our...

...heartfelt gratitude for your presence.

Why are you blocking the view? How can I get the photo if...

...you're blocking me? Will you snap a photo for me?

I now request our honorable guest, Mr Prakash to garland Mr Oberoi.

Give them a big hand!

Let us celebrate the party!

Can I speak with Mr Dileep? - May I know who is on the line?
