RAMA KRISHNAN

THEY SAY YOU ARE GONE.

WE DON'T BELIEVE IT. YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT EITHER.

LOVE IS GOD

LOVE IS FULFILLMENT

LOVE IS HIDDEN

LOVE IS THE ULTIMATE TRUTH

What's going on, brother?

You still haven't gone home, and now you're sleeping here!

Do you want to come and sleep with me in the shed?

I'll even give you the coconut leafstalk to eat.

You can ask him yourself.

When he first came here, he was just a baby!

He used to barely reach your shoulder.

Now when you stand, you're only as tall as his shoulder.

I've fed him everything to make him this tall and healthy.

What do you say, baby?

My fat baby!

Fat baby!

Grandpa, take him and go. It's late.

He must be hungry.

Go, my dear.

Come on, let's go!

Come on…

- Grandpa. - Come.

We are leaving town permanently.

We lost the house!

Hey! Mozhi! Mozhi!

Hey!

Why is he walking away without answering?

Hey, have this. Have this.

I'm leaving! I'm leaving!

As a mere skeleton, I'm leaving!

Toward the agonizing path, I leave!

Where my childhood's free spirit Danced in eternal joy!

From my hometown, I stand separated!

From the home My ancestors built and protected

I stand separated!

I'm leaving! I'm leaving!

As a mere skeleton, I'm leaving!

Toward the agonizing path

I leave!

Where the hell have you been?

Have you blabbed anything to anyone?

Sir, why are you leaving at this hour

without even informing me?

- Uncle, when did you get here? - I came a while ago.

Where are you coming from?

The wealth has been divided and the house has been written off.

When it's no longer ours… no point…

Why should you leave our native then?

- You can rent… - You think, I…

Our three generations have lived in this house and town.

Forget it, certain things cannot be understood by words.

Not that I don't understand, sir.

But leaving this house is a bigger blow for him than you.

Just take care of him, sir.

Mozhi,

I am going to take Bhuvana to Needamangalam.

Why?

Can't stay here, right?

I've finalized a school there, based on your dad's recommendation.

O' time are you being fair?

Are my eyes witnessing a mirage?

What could be the sin that I committed?

A life of deceit surrounds me!

A nurturing mother's lap.

Torn apart by the greed of kith and kin.

All the tomorrows.

Stand shattered!

A kite that danced Along with the thread!

Now I am lost with a broken thread!

Like an uprooted blooming tree

I've become a tragic sight!

Like a river that Runs deep in the forest

I am lost!

Like a bird that ceases To live in its own nest.

A refugee, I become!

I'm leaving! I'm leaving!

As a mere skeleton, I'm leaving!

Towards the agonizing path

I leave!

What will I say?

How will I comfort myself?

This fatal curse!

How will I change it?

The conspiracy's path.

That's filled with darkness.

How will I shine the light?

I leave today!

But when will I be back?

When will I return To my own doorway?

To rescue me back home.

When will I find an honest soul?

Without the people of my land.

Will I lead a life?

I am like a lonely bubble.

That never flows with the water!

You lock it.

Give it to them, brother.

Dirty rogues!

I curse them from the bottom of my heart!

- They won't live well! - Sokkalingam!

We have only lost our wealth.

All of you are standing by us.

Forget it. We'll find a way.

What you say might come true!

No matter what, they are my siblings.

That's the curse of the girl child, they are mere puppets dancing to others' tunes!

How can we curse them?

Brother, you are an educated man.

I can't be as mature as you.

Forget about me! Forget about you!

What about him?

This house was his world… This town was his everything!

Now all of a sudden,

what will happen to my child?

Hey…

Why, brother?

- Keep it. - I have money.

For the bus fare and also get her something.

Are you upset with me because we lost the house?

No, brother.

If you're here, I'll make excuses and come to see you once a week.

I wonder if I can do that now.

That's the only thing I am feeling bad about, brother.

Bhuvana.

My dear…

Shall I leave now?

No, even I will come with you.

Your brother is going to Madras, darling.

I will also come.

Tomorrow you have to go to school, so go with Dad.

When I come back,

I will get you lots of chocolates and clothes and come to visit you, okay?

I don't want chocolates.

I will also come with you.

There will be a school in Madras,

you and I can go on the cycle together.

Come, my darling.

- Come. - Go to Daddy.

- Bhuvana… - I want to go to my brother…

- Come to me. - I want to go to my brother.

- Stop crying, baby… - I want to go to my brother.

Okay, dear.

Arul, you come in the van with all the things.

Your mother, brother and I will come by bus.

- Have you loaded everything? - Yes, sir.

- Just take another look around the house. - Okay, sir.

We can't come back here again.

- Okay, sir. - Stop the vehicle if you need anything.

- Do you want water or anything else? - Brother.

Sir, we forgot to load your son's cycle.

Cycle?

Arul, do you need it?

Will you ride it?

- No, Dad. - Wait.

Give it to someone who needs it.

No, not needed, let it be.

Brother,

you take this or give it away to someone.

Shall we leave?

- Yes, you guys get started. - Okay.

K. SELVI

Go well! Don't lose heart!

Don't lose heart, son!

For you, we'll wait!

Go well and surely return!

Go well! Don't refrain from coming back, son!

For you, we'll wait!

Go well and surely return!

THANJAVUR BORDER ENDS

I am going out of town for a day.

I'll go today and come back tomorrow morning.

She will feed you guys in the evening, okay?

Not that I want to go,

but I have to go!

It's just for a day. I will be back tomorrow morning.

Okay?

Hey!

It's getting late, aren't you leaving?

I was wondering if I should go or not.

It's okay if my husband doesn't go.

I'll be happy that he's taken a day off.

I will cook his favorites for all three meals and sit admiring him!

But you're Bhuvana's brother,

you have to go.

For twenty years, you haven't let anyone connect with you,

now these are the only set of people, who we can call family.

How can you think twice about going to their function?

It's not an issue for you, Arul.

Even after all this, you'll stay the same…

Alone

and angry.

There is nothing wrong with that,

but you have a daughter, hope you remember that.

She won't have any aunts, uncles, and cousins in the future.

It will be just us, does that work for you?

There are dogs, cats, parrots, and a lot of other things, right?

Are you scared to go back to your native place, Arul?
