'COIMBATORE'

Good morning, madam.

I've told you a million times to ask before entering my room.

Sorry, madam. It's urgent. What is it?

MD has asked me to cancel all his appointments today.

He isn't coming in today.

Last week, you said work was too tight so we didn't celebrate our anniversary.

But now, you cancelled everything...

To drive to Ooty, just because your daughter asked.

Why the sudden change?

Anu and you matter

more to me than work.

Really?

Yes, really.

Daddy, balloon!

Here you go.

One balloon, please.

Thank you, daddy. I've paid.

Let's go.

I'm going to show mom my balloon!

Yes, you can! Get in.

Even if she just wishes... How is it, mummy?

I've been pestering you to take me to the guest house.

I wonder if you even remember.

I haven't forgotten, Archana. I remember.

There's an investor's meeting next month.

We can go then for a couple of days.

You're so selfish.

Hey!

Anu... Archana!

Anu... are you okay?

I'm okay, daddy.

Thank god!

I'm going to... idiot.

Showing off 'cause there's a girl with you?!

Look what you did to my car!

You rascal! Come on!

You better pay for the damage.

I won't. Do what you can.

It wasn't my fault.

You were the one who hit me.

What do you mean?

Driving an Audi makes you a big deal, huh?

Hey! Watch your words.

Don't you dare point fingers.

You better pay up for the damage. I won't.

It's your fault.

Do what you can.

You think I'll let you go easily?

How dare you touch me? Hello!

Please be patient.

Is this really necessary?

Listen to me, Ashok. Let's just pay and go.

He acted like a fool.

But why stoop to his level, Ashok?

I let it go just for Anu.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be standing.

Is she asleep?

Stop the car, Ashok!

What happened?

Anu!

'Do you know what this society has taught us?'

'Trust none.'

'Deceive everyone.'

'No matter what, never help anyone.'

'Stay selfish.'

'Whatever happens, don't go to the police.'

'Tempt others to sin.'

'Betray, murder, steal,'

'This society teaches us everything,'

'but doesn't take the blame.'

'A few days ago'

I betrayed you, boss. I should've known better.

Forgive me. Please, let me go.

I'm begging you! I won't repeat this.

Forgive me--

'He fired like he was playing pubg!'

Hello?

Yes.

Rajan wants a parcel.

It's urgent.

Sure doesn't seem like it.

Which vehicle do we have for delivery?

Mani is on his way.

Hey, Mani!

Where's the driver? Why are you driving?

He's gone to Puttur to see the doctor, boss.

As if our town has no one to fix a broken bone?

That's the hospital your salary gets him.

Not Apollo. Why not a government hospital?

Tell him to go there!

Who is she?

Kanakavalli. But everyone calls her Kanaka.

Found her at the bar, drinking.

Felt bad, brought her. Give her work.

Drop her back home.

I'll give her something to do.

I know what you're planning to give her at home.

Just give her work here.

Sweety, what can you do?

I'll take care of what you say, and what you won't.

Idiot!

He won't pay you for following orders,

and you're doing extra? Get going.

Bring me a broom, Mani.

Kanaka...

Wait for me.

Let's have a beer together.

Deliver this parcel to Rajan.

I'll close details over a call with them.

Okay, boss. Careful!

Isn't Rekha here?

She's inside.

Call her, please. Wait here.

Please, wait. She'll be here.

Oh!

Why are you crying?

Is there a problem?

Come on.

Tell me, Rekha.

Two lines?

Who's pregnant?

After all that happened,

you still have doubts?

Why are you getting emotional?

We'll figure this out.

Mani...

We are not married.

We have no stable income.

How do you think we'll raise this baby?

Rekha is right, Mani.

If you have a baby now, who do you think will suffer?

The parents, of course.

Isn't that the duty of the parents?

They had no money, so our parents abandoned us.

Let's not repeat that with this baby, Mani.

Don't keep saying the same thing, Rekha.

It's irritating!

Take a step back and

give it a thought, Mani.

There's nothing to think about, Uma.

You two are all the family I've got.

A baby is a boon to orphans like me.

What's on your mind?

Abortion.

Are you going to kill it?

It's about raising the child, not ending its life, Rekha!

If life starts only after we settle,

most of us may never start living.

We eloped and married.

Aren't we happy?

It's all in our mind.

Good thoughts bring good things.

Stop putting ideas in her head.

I hustle for you now.

Soon, I'll hustle for you and our baby.

I won't be like this forever. Things will change.

I'll look after you both.

You should've thought twice before taking me to your granny's.

What's the use now?

I didn't mean any harm. It was just a hug.

See? Have you ever fed me even once?

There's a double document.

I'm okay with cash only customers.

Why risk, Ramesh?

We can't earn if we don't take risks.

He promises good commission. Get this done.

Owner, you earn enough from your fancy store.

Why spoil your health with night auto rides?

This income isn't enough to run a household.

Alright. See you! See you!

He left home because his son scolded him.

I advised him and sent him home.

Grandma, he is Mani.

I want to marry him.

God bless you, dear.

You two are a perfect match.

I'm off to the estate.

Please come, lock the door.

Is the doctor available?

Hold on, I'll find out.

You say you know the doctor.

What if she mistakes us?

Get a scan done and bring the report.

Doctor...

How's the baby?

Only the scan will confirm it. Go do it.

Tell me, boss.

Why aren't you answering my calls?

'Huh?'

Did you deliver the parcel to Rajan?

I just delivered the parcel, boss.

Fine!

What is it?

Boss asked me to deliver a parcel urgently, but I didn't.

Then why didn't you do it first and come?

Alright, let's go.

Huh?! Hey, my van!

Can you zoom in, please? A bit more.

Where is the van?
