Oru Kuppai Kathai (ஒரு குப்பைக் கதை)

[Dindivanam- Vizhupuram- Salem! Bus to Salem!]

[Vellore- Ambur- Krishnagiri- Hosur!]

Can you help me find this address, sir? - Are you mad?

Can't you see I'm peeing? Get lost.

The tea shop is open. Ask someone there.

Brother...

Come here.

Let me see the address.

Where are you from?

Chennai, sir.

Go straight, take the second left turn.

Straight down, you'll find a water tank to your right.

Further down, you'll see a pharmacy.

It's the street adjacent to it.

Got it? - Yeah.

You'll manage? Or shall I drop you?

I'll find my way.

Your tea is getting cold, sir.

Tea, sir!

Didn't go to school, son?

I'll take a shower and leave. - Okay.

Sir...

I had asked for a day off. There's a ceremony at my in-laws'.

What? Come here.

I told you the address clearly.

You couldn't find your way?

No, sir.

I found my way just fine.

Why are you here, then? Want to file a complaint?

I committed a murder at that place, sir.

What are you saying? You think it's funny?

You asked for directions to commit a murder?

"A FILTHY TALE"

Good morning, sir! - Good morning.

Greetings, sir. - Greetings.

The supervisor is here!

Let's go.

Wait!

What's the hurry?

I need to speak to you all. Please wait.

Muthu, why is the 5th Line so dirty?

Even the 8th and 9th Lines are filthy.

You need to pick the trash better.

Okay? There's a lot of complaint from these lines.

Diesel? Should I transfer you?

I will make sure there are no more complaints, sir.

Okay, don't slack around. Be active and pick the trash!

We'll pick the trash, alright. But when are you giving us a raise?

What have you done to demand a raise?

You got a raise only last year.

You gave us a raise?

Do you know about the inflation just this year?

Oh, what's that inflation that none of us know of?

Good question. I'll tell you.

A year back, a quarter brandy cost 65 bucks.

Now it's 90.

So I quit brandy, tried rum. It used to be 70. Now it's 120.

Thought I'd drink wine like a White man. A quarter that cost 100 is now 150.

Then I tried gin, and a quarter that was 85 is now 140!

Don't believe me? Ask Miss Rani here.

She's been drinking gin for eight years now.

Correct?

Why are you laughing, sister?

I'm fighting for all of us!

And he serves a side of exactly four peanuts and charges 40 rupees!

Makes two omelettes with one egg and charges 30 bucks!

With the salary you're paying, I can't drink. I can only watch a guy drink and be jealous.

Look, Kumar...

Dump this nuisance into the sewer.

Sorry, that's where I live. - Get lost!

Get to work!

Don't worry, comrades. Our fight shall continue!

We go on a expedition; In the garbage truck.

These hands know no revulsion; To filth and muck.

Garbage heaps in every direction; That's our vocation.

The roads are spic and span; Like the hearts of your Garbage Man.

Undaunted, by the dangers of drainage; We stake our safety to clean up sewage.

Mankind is the trash in this world; God has not picked it still.

All of Man's plastic remains; This Universe cannot sustain.

There's garbage in the Everest.

And Mother Nature is getting damaged.

They dump nuclear waste; And the protestors are censured.

With the city's pollution; Man is making a hole in the ozone layer.

We go on a expedition; In the garbage truck.

These hands know no revulsion; To filth and muck.

The supervisor assigned you a job? - Yeah.

Oh! He's right here?

Greetings, sir!

Hello, Kumar.

I'm going to see a prospective bride at Kurukupet.

I need a 1,000 rupees. You can deduct it from my salary!

Everyone from our company is married and settled with kids.

Only you're still waiting!

We want to eat your wedding feast real soon!

Okay? - Okay, sir.

Will 1,000 rupees do? - It will do, sir.

I don't know about the wedding feast.

But I'll arrange for unlimited booze at his wedding!

Such a nuisance. - Why do you slap your forehead?

Kumar, get him out of here.

Her father looks like a broken cupboard!

Is the bride pretty?

You didn't even show a picture.

What?

Your wife's clothes look sweet! Where did you get it?

Picked the top at Anna Nagar. And the jeans at Adyar.

From a huge showroom! There was a sale.

Why so quiet? - Want us to wrestle?

Eat up! I bought these snacks and sweets from Lala's Shop in Parry's.

Everyone buys sweets at Lala's Shop. Big deal!

Don't mock them! They're the most decent family in the hood.

Here, brother!

Eat up!

Hey, Dolu.

Dolu!

Even the child is eating fine. Why are you stuffing your face?

What would they think of our family?

She won't listen!

Is she the only girl in the family?

Son...

You haven't told the lady about our family?

You tell her!

My eldest son is married with two kids.

He's a chain snatcher!

Just last year...

He murdered two old folks for jewellery.

Murder?

His friends were terrible. He was given two Life sentences.

Were you expecting an Oscar Award?

Let that be.

What's your profession?

We sell fish. - Same here!

We were in the fish trade ten years back.

It left us as lifeless as dried fish!

Didn't manage to make any money!

This man here...

started selling ganja.

We managed to make some money.

I help him out from home by making packets.

We have enough money.

My daughter has an issue. It's a fault in her stars.

None of the horoscopes match.

Even if it does, they don't like our trade.

As long as they don't take you to the cops.

Stop kidding!

We have saved up 30 sovereigns of gold for dowry.

I'll write a house in her name, too.

See the girl and decide for yourself.

Kumar... This is the 19th girl you're seeing.

You have no choice.

Don't think twice. Say yes.

Take a good look! Don't be shy.

Don't be afraid, dear.

The girl looks like an adult movie star!

Give it to the groom.

He's the groom!

Her face looks like the food tray!

Thank you!

Look at the girl.

The girl is pretty... and slim.

Maybe in the past.

Do you sing?

What do you think?

Cupcake!

Hey man, do not go behind women; Don't be a spendthrift

Hey man, do not go behind women; Don't be a spendthrift

Isn't she singing well?

me and my girl went around the city..

My girl went missing

Give the child a cold drink!

Kumar, you are a lucky guy!

The girl wants to speak to the boy in private.

Oh no! The cops are here for Cupcake!

Gold Hunt, come here.

Come on, madam! We're in the middle of something.

Come back tomorrow, whatever it is.

Things have escalated to the Assistant Commissioner now.

Return the red bag that your daughter snatched at the bus.

There's 30 sovereigns of gold in it!

The Sub-Inspector asked us to bring your daughter in.

We've seen so many girls in 7 years! Nothing has worked.

I thought this would work out. And he'd get married soon.

All the drunk, jobless loafers in town seem to find brides!

What did my son ever do to deserve this?

It's okay, Sarasu. Don't cry!

In movies, Rajinikanth says, "God tests good people. Never betrays them"

Our God Bodyguard Muneeswaran will find Kumar a good bride.

I knew you'd cry your eyes out, so I got you this.

Here.

Drink this and go to sleep.

It'll be fine in the morning.

The Old Lady is quoting Rajinikanth dialogues already!

Wonder what she'll do when she's drunk.

Sarasu!

It's lesser in my glass. Pour equal rounds!
