Life is a mystery.

Life is intriguing and keeps you uncertain about what could happen next.

During the journey, we meet many people.

Every person we encounter in our life

has a purpose.

Sometimes it affects our life directly

and, at times, indirectly.

Probing about why it's happening to us

puts us on an indecisive path.

No matter how long we travel on that path,

we will never find the answers we're looking for.

One day, this indecisive journey in my life

and a few people I encountered turned it upside down.

This is a story of that "One Day."

Welcome to the madness called Life!

Moron, why is it you're not sending in the stock?

Did you say you gave it to Shanmugam?

I've asked you many times. Many times!

As it's festival season, there's demand.

I will make the payment.

Send in the stock.

It's old. Don't lean on it.

It's not like everything in your bakery is new.

I'm all worked up. Don't mock me early in the morning.

Do you have coins?

Catch!

What brings you here at this hour? Don't you have tuition?

I have no clue. The tuition class is closed.

Didn't your teacher send you a message?

The others must've got the message.

I don't have a mobile!

Good!

- Hello... - Idiot, is there no class today?

Oh, it's you.

We don't have class today. Sir sent a text to the group yesterday.

You could've called my mother's phone and informed me.

Sorry, I ran out of credit.

I'll handle you when I see you at school.

Hey, buddy...

- Boomer uncle, bye. - Hey!

Total balance - 2,049 rupees.

Okay!

And don't call me Boomer.

I'm here all the time. You'll get your money.

How come you're back so early?

I'm talking to you.

Why was the tuition center closed today?

I don't know.

Except for me, everyone else would've received a text.

Sri...

we have already discussed this matter.

When you're in college, you'll get a mobile phone.

Okay!

Please don't hold me to it if something terrible happens to me.

What happened that you're so irritated?

Whatever we do is for your good.

You need to understand our concern.

I'm not a baby.

I can take care of myself.

Hey! Hey, Sri!

- Abilash! - Present, sir.

- Abhishek! - Present, sir.

- Illamaaran! - Present, sir.

- Why? - Sir, heavy traffic!

Sir, his house is two streets away.

- Did I ask you? - No, sir!

You two go and meet the Principal.

It's the third time you've been late to school this week.

Sir, the tuition classes ran late.

I never suggested you take tuition.

Now, please...

- Rajkumar. - Present, sir.

I swear I ran out of credit on my phone.

Don't get pissed for silly reasons.

Keep silence!

And don't talk.

Hey, buddy!

- Raj Mohan. - Absent, sir.

Last night, I watched a video. Twenty-six minutes -full length.

But my flood burst within three minutes.

Kamlesh!

I could not control it.

- Kamlesh! - How does it matter?

- Is Kamlesh absent? - Moreover, I deleted the history.

I wish to watch it again.

Hey, say something!

- Rajat! - Sir!

- Isn't Kamlesh your bench mate? - Yes, sir!

- Is he sitting next to you? - No, sir.

I called out his name thrice.

- Why can't you say he's absent? - Sir, absent, sir!

- Are you holding a phone? - No, sir.

- Get out! - Sir! Sir!

Or show me what you were watching on the phone.

- Sri! - Sir?

I assigned you the Micro Particles seminar.

Yes, sir. But it's scheduled for next week.

Prepare for ten minutes, and please conduct the seminar.

Okay, sir.

- Amaresh, monitor the class. - Okay, sir.

Here he comes!

- Where's teacher Vasanth? - He's gone to meet the Principal.

Sit down!

Sir!

- Where are you coming from? - Latecomers! We got the permission.

Has everyone submitted the assignments?

Yes, sir!

Okay, turn to page number 63.

Hey, did Vasanth, sir, come to the Principal's office?

He did. Did you guys create any trouble?

- Why? - He looked pissed off!

Perhaps his daughter did not come to the tuition in the morning.

Is Parvathy in your tuition class?

Yes, chemistry.

She did not come in the morning.

Generally, she never misses a class.

I don't know what happened!

Did you come by bike?

- Raise your hand. - Why?

Sir, actually...

PTE, sir, asked me and Pranesh to meet him during the 2nd period.

Zonals are next week.

Go!

Give me the keys!

Sweetheart, don't rat us out!

Step down.

At least now, tell me, what is it?

Brother, did you notice a van with boys in the morning?

What?

Around 05:15 a.m., did you three boys along with a girl passing through?

I don't know. I opened the shop at 07:00 a.m.

Okay, brother!

Tell me what it is about before I kill you.

On this road?

Hey!

I told you many times not to come to my school.

Sorry, baby. It's an important matter.

- What is it? - Is Parvathy inside the school?

Her father called my father, asking if she was with me.

When did this happen?

He called him a while ago.

My dad sent me a text.

I'm getting late.

- Okay. - Bye, Sri.

- I miss you! - Get lost!

- What do we do now? - Hop on!

Brother, why don't you sell more flakes?

This is your 4th serving.

I will take away your plate. Shut up and eat.

It's not like you're giving it away for free.

Zero customer care!

Oh, am I supposed to be serious too?

Okay!

Stop kidding around.

I'll slap you.

Why are you complicating a silly matter?

Fine, tell me something.

Are you sure that you saw Parvathy in the morning?

No right?

No right?

She must've bunked school to go to a movie with her boyfriend.

Or she must be hanging out at the beach.

Don't overthink it.

No matter how many times Thalapathy says

to ignore negativity but you people don't get it.

- She does not have a boyfriend. - How do you know?

Last year, during the inter-school event...

I met her for the first time.

At that time I didn't know she is Vasanth sir's daughter.

But I like something about her.

Something special.

"I became like a cloud And ran through the sky"

"My thirst couldn't be quenched..."

"...and I had to search for water"

"She did some tricks"

"I am endlessly mesmerized"

"Wherever you go My eyes follow you"

"I wish to live in the same house As you live"

"The cuckoo that didn't cross my path yesterday"

"Is now filling my garden With its music"

"The breeze that passes..."

"...murmurs into my ears"

"The drizzle falls onto the ground, drenching it "

What's your favorite song?

Any A.R.Rahman song.

Name one.

Nejukulle!

- Why are you smiling? - Pogathey!

That's my favorite song.

Why such a sad song?

I feel like... it comforts me.

No wonder you're single.

"How will I explain myself?"

"All the poems that I didn't write Are with you"
