Maharaja (மகாராஜா)

Smoking causes cancer. Smoking kills.

Consumption of alcohol is injurious to health.

Be safe. Don't drink and drive.

Drug usage is injurious to health and is a criminal offense.

The paintings you drew Are etched in my heart

Even the rain cannot wash them away

A day filled with laughter And joy with you

There is no happiness That can surpass that, oh dear!

Even the mirror looks at you

To see its beauty

The breeze will sing to you what I can't

Your words bring life to me

The amethyst flower and our native music

Fill me with happiness when I sing

To my dear love, my girl…

Girl! Sing a song with "girl" in it.

Hey there, my chubby girl

Can't you see my eyes Are calling out to you?

Did my mustache prick you Oh, diamond rose?

Does she lovingly call you Tom?

-Tom! -Tom!

Now, Maharaja will sing a song with the word "Tom" in it.

Go ahead, sing. "Tom."

Tom…

-Yes, Tom. -Tom…

Yes. The word is "Tom."

-Tom. -Tom.

-Tom? -Yes.

-Tom… -Yes.

-Tomorrow, I want a day off. -What?

-Tomorrow, I want a day off. -You want a day off?

-Yes. -There is no such song.

Have you heard any such song?

Of course, but it goes, "I want a day off today."

I need a day off today

-I need a-- -Hey, I'll break your jaws!

Is this how you talk to your boss?

-Are you both mocking me? -I wasn't mocking.

My wife wanted to go shopping for our baby.

-Hence… -No, I don't get it.

I really don't get it.

You talk as if you're the only one with a family.

Do you think we don't have families too?

You always run off to fulfill your wife and kid's needs.

If everyone took time off, who would attend to our customers?

Customers? Yeah, right!

You talk as if there's a queue 24 hours a day to get haircuts.

To attract customers, we need to sport a smiling face.

If you keep a face like an old, smothered brush,

not even a dog will come to our shop.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, it was just a figure of speech.

We don't cut hair for dogs.

Sir, I'm not here for him but for myself.

I take Max to a pet spa for grooming.

For you?

Maharaja will attend to you. Please come in.

What are you looking at? You wanted a day off, right?

Well, you will attend to all the customers that come in today.

Sir, please take a seat. Come.

-Got rejected at home? -Yes.

Fine, find another one.

-She said okay to this. -Give it.

-Bill this one as well. -Listen,

get approval for this one as well. What if she rejects it?

She will love it.

I am Jothi.

I'm studying in the tenth grade.

To be honest, I'm a bit weak in my studies.

But I am very much interested in sports.

I spend more time on the field than in the classroom.

And that's why none of the teachers like me.

Waste!

Except one.

Ms. Asifa, our P.E. teacher.

-Oh, sorry. Ma'am… -Please come, ma'am.

After all, it's P.E. period, right?

I have to finish the syllabus. Let me have it.

What do you mean by "After all, it's P.E. period"?

"Sound body, sound soul." Haven't you heard?

She's very straightforward and very friendly.

I'm her favorite.

She helps me with other subjects as well.

Right now, she's training me for the 100-meter zonal competition.

And our house?

Here, this is our house.

This is my father, Maharaja.

We are a family of three.

Myself, Dad, and Lakshmi.

Who's Lakshmi? Your mom?

My mother passed away when I was a baby.

Oh, sorry! So, who's Lakshmi?

A dustbin named Lakshmi?

So, you guys named a dustbin?

When I was a baby, the house I was in was destroyed in an accident.

Lakshmi fell upon me, covered me, and saved my life.

Since then, Lakshmi has been a part of our family.

Every Friday, Dad and I bathe Lakshmi,

apply holy ash and vermilion to it, and pray together.

Dear, it's getting late.

You should have woken me up early!

She keeps snoozing when I wake her up

and then blames me for being late!

What have you prepared?

Lemon rice and egg.

Every day!

O, my daughter, you are my world

You are like the pointing finger That shows me the right direction

Even your cry is a melody to my ears

Even if you hurt me I will still love you with all my heart

A daughter is every father's world

This grandpa is Mr. Gopal.

So, tell me something. Who named you Maharaja?

The apt name for you is Mr. "Long Face" King.

A smile on your face makes you look good.

Instead, if you keep a long face, no dog will ever step into our shop!

Well, thanks to kind-hearted people like him, our shop keeps running.

Please turn your head.

Don't give the money to me. Pay it to the owner.

He is the owner, and I am the laborer for this "good for nothing" shop.

See, my father works under him despite being the owner of the shop.

This is doctor uncle,

a friend of my dad's.

Why did you come all the way here?

I could have come to your shop.

It would have been a good walking exercise for me.

I am talking to you!

Once a month, he takes a day off, and we roam around.

Not to exotic destinations but to the shopping street and the beach.

You switch the spoon of salt with sugar and the spoon of sugar with chili powder!

I've told you a thousand times to scrub the cloth before washing.

It's still dirty!

Haven't I told you to bathe before entering the kitchen after salon work?

Look at all these hairs.

His shop and our home, that's my dad's world.

Mom came as my daughter

Came to take care Of the father's mental health

My dad never gives up on me, no matter what.

Let me explain what happened one day.

Here's your daughter's transfer certificate and sports certificate.

Take them and leave!

Sir, let me speak.

-To hell with your "Sir"! -Sir--

Your daughter mixed alcohol in the chief guest's welcome drink!

He was an IAS officer!

I had my school ranked among the top ten! Top ten!

It's all gone now!

-She wouldn't have done it, sir. -Come again! She wouldn't have done it?

The alcohol bottle was found in your daughter's bag!

Are the witnesses lying, or do you think I'm lying?

I don't care about that, sir. My daughter wouldn't have done it.

Your daughter, my foot!

You and your daughter better leave! Or else, just one phone call,

and you will be in prison! Shall I?

Now, watch me!

Sir!

Now, you're going to tell me he did it, and she's innocent. Am I right?

All I'm saying is, please investigate such sensitive issues thoroughly.

Don't any of you have any sense?

Is this how you accuse someone without conducting a proper inquiry?

I was embarrassed in front of the IAS officer then,

and now I'm embarrassed by all of you again in front of him!

You! Come here!

I said, come here!

Sir, what are you doing?

Principal, his father must be here tomorrow. Got it?

Don't think you got away.

If I catch you doing something wrong, I'll throw you out of here!

There won't be any hearings like this.

Got it?

You all may leave. Hey! I said, leave!

I said, out!

You! Do you need special instruction?

-Get lost. -Jothi.

Didn't I tell you she wouldn't have done it, sir?

-You rushed to judgment and scolded her. -So what?

Apologize to my daughter, sir.

-Come again. -Sir…

My daughter is innocent. Right, sir?

-Dad, let's go. -Yet you scolded her.

Wasn't that wrong?

Apologize to my daughter, sir.

-Dad, let's go. -Hey!

Do you know whom you're talking to?

-I own many schools and colleges! -Dad, let's go.

-Let him apologize. -You want me to apologize?

That too to your daughter?

-Even if I-- -I don't care about that.

Wasn't it wrong of you to scold her? She'd be hurt, right?

-Apologize to her, and I'll leave, sir. -Hey!

-Out! Get out! -Dad, let's go.

-Wait, we'll go. -Security! Come here!

-Throw him out! -Apologize to my daughter, sir.

-Drag him away and throw him out! -Sir, it was wrong of you to scold her.

-Apologize. -Drag him away!

-Dad, let's go. Please. -Sir, apologize…

-Dad, please! Let's go. -Sir…

-Apologize to her, sir. She is innocent. -Dad, please. Let's leave.

-Throw him out! -Sir, apologize!

Teacher, my daughter's innocent. Ask him to apologize.
