Aranmanai (அரண்மனை)

Ayyanar?

The whole town is off to see the holy man. Aren't you coming?

I was told the owners of the palace

are visiting for a few days.

They said they'd sell it to me.

It has been shut for 5 years, right?

That's why I'm going to clean up the place.

What about the girl who ran away? - They've traced her.

They said they'd be here within 2-3 days.

Take the blessings of the holy man on my behalf as well. - Okay.

Start the car.

Which palace? What is the deal?

You're new to the town so you don't know.

At the far end of our town, there is a palace that belongs to the old landlord.

Acres and acres of land.. Worth millions.

Ayyanar is the caretaker for now.

He has been a caretaker for so many years.

He intends buying it now.

But the problem is, the landlord has 3 heirs.

Two sons and a daughter.

The daughter eloped with a servant.

Only if she signs the contract, the palace can be sold.

They were searching for her all these years.

They must have finally found her.

See how smart Ayyanar is!

Even before buying the palace

he struck a deal with a foreign company.

He'll make a fortune soon.

Wait here. I'll go and take a look.

Go that side. - Hurry up.

Are the preparations going fine for the festival of our goddess?

Yes, very well.

Our goddess is going to be taken on a procession this Friday.

You are travelling through our town

and we feel sad that you are not stopping by.

You know how important project Mukkoodal is!

No, Sage, it's just..

I'll definitely come when the time is right.

Sir!

What is it?

It's a termite hill, right in the center of the house.

Maybe because it was locked up for 5 years.

Maybe this place is.. Don't let your imagination run wild!

Go and do your work.

Sage, a request.

You're not stopping by

but do bless our land with your holy tread, please!

What is this?

He must have struck the snake inside the hill.

That blood must have spurted out.

Boss, I need a hand. - Let's go help.

I will be coming to your town very soon.

Sage?

Until then, you must all be careful.

Chef, check your list.

Driver, are you kidding?

My aunt isn't feeling well. She might pass away any day.

I want to visit my hometown.

Just another 2 or 3 days.

Then the owners of the palace will be here. - I know.

You'll say so and go on leave for 10 days.

She raised me.

If I'm not by her side, when she breathes her last

what will my family think of me?

I'll just run away without informing you.

Then you just have to find another cook.

Keep grumbling like this.

It's time to drink. Make 2 omelets for me.

What a drunkard! I wonder why he was hired!

I thought I saw someone standing over there.

Why a power failure at this hour?

Who is it?

Who is it?

Who is there?

Tell me, who's there?

Who's there?

Why are you crying?

W-Who?

Oh no! Ghost!

Who is closing the door?

Open it. Open the door.

Oh God! Save me!

Someone, please save me.

You drunkard!

Come and save me.

Come here and open the door.

What are you doing?

Look behind you!

Ghost!

Easwari?

Easwari!

Eas.. Move.

Brother, I'm here. - Easwari, come.

Good day. How do you do?

This is my son. - Greetings.

What happened to your loin cloth?

It slipped off in the crowd.

Give that to me.

My husband's loin cloth is inside, find it and wear it.

He's blissfully unaware that he has lost his loin cloth!

How did you live with him for all these years?

Look here, I'm not your servant that you'd talk to me like this.

I'm the son-in-law of this palace.

Treat me with respect or I'll leave right now. - No.

Don't get angry. I'm so glad you came.

Really? - Oh yes!

That's my brother-in-law!

'No matter where you go, I'll hunt you down and kill you.'

'Hey! Don't come looking for me'

'If I ever see you I'll kill you.'

Welcome!

My sister's engagement is going to be held this Sunday.

You must attend it without fail.

We will, for sure.

Who is this 'kulfi' ice cream?

What are you looking at? She's my daughter.

She has just come back after finishing her studies.

Don't embarrass us here. Shut up. - Be quiet.

My son is finally doing something worthwhile.

If he somehow charms her

my brother's share will completely be ours.

He has only one daughter.

Don't worry, I'll get her.

Hasn't the older heir's son arrived from Mumbai?

He's newly married.

He's taking his sweet time showing his wife all the places on the way.

Romance on the road!

"Knife-edged glance! Your eyes are as sharp as a needle."

"Don't pierce my heart!"

"Back to your home town, love."

"Don't pinch or tease me now."

"Oh yeah, whatever you say is right!"

"Thank you.. Thank you, my love!"

"Thank you.. Thank you, my love!"

"My girl!"

"As far as the eyes can see blissful with a capital B.."

"As far as the eyes can see blissful with a capital B.."

"River with anklets adorned ripples its way singing a song."

"Even without the air conditioner the margosa tree's breeze is cool."

"Even if no pizza or burger steamed 'puttu' is a tasty appetizer."

"Our minds can fly fancy-free beyond barriers beautifully."

"Oh yeah, whatever you say is right!"

"Thank you.. Thank you, my love!"

"Thank you.. Thank you, my love!"

"When wind huffing and puffing blows floral fragrance faithfully follows."

"Yellow myna on seeing me nods its head from the hedge gaily."

"Grandparents' bedtime stories are stored in our hearts as memories."

"Even if we leave our native land our soul belongs to this sand."

"Let 100 years pass by."

"Visiting our place of birth where there is, 24x7 Heaven on Earth."

"Oh yeah, whatever you say is right!"

"Thank you.. Thank you, my love!"

"Thank you.. Thank you, my love!"

Wow! - How do you like the palace? - Fantastic!

Didn't I tell you that you'd be amazed?

You haven't met my relatives as yet.

Wait and watch!

Welcome, dear.

Welcome. - How are you, uncle? - Are you done with your sight-seeing?

Come, Murali. - Come.

Welcome! Do you remember me?

Aunt Easwari! - The one who eloped when she was young!

We've come back now. Why bring it up?

Come inside. - Step in.

Thanks a lot, Murali.

You came as soon as I called to solve my financial crisis.

Your father would have never let us sell this place.

This place has been locked up and not used by anyone, uncle.

At least it would come handy in solving your problems.

Why didn't you come yesterday?

Did you eat?

Shall I get you something to eat?

Okay, I'll listen to all that you say.

My mother will scold me.

Who are you talking to, baby?

Going now? - She's my daughter. She's slightly retarded.

Will you come back at night?

Bring me something.

Hey, Maya! - Hi!

Did you look around our town?

How is it? - It's superb!

And this palace is extraordinary.

Grandma suffers from breathing trouble.

Why don't you dial 108 for an ambulance?

When I do, they tell me not to call a million times and harass them.

They say, they feel like they are making school trips.

Only the ambulance's tires are wearing out.

Grandma isn't dying.

Just dump her under a tree near the hospital premises.

When she's about to die, she can go straight to the mortuary.

Grandma!

Hello, Paalsamy!

You're already here!

I thought I'd send for you once she becomes a corpse.

But you've come ahead of time.

Who cares if your grandma is alive or dead?

We need interest.

If we don't pay up

you'll even take our briefs away.

You've taken up loans from the entire town, Paalsamy.
