Make some space man...

Let there be some air circulation, go from here.

Patela, come let's go.

Bro, what’s up? A game or film?

F*** results are out man..

Patela, What happened with the tickets?

They have been booked.

Just have to get my bags.

What happened?

First class!

Didn’t I tell you?

Unnecessarily you were getting anxious.

Did you check mine?

Go check yourself.

Didn’t I tell you Patela..

..these girls are never to be trusted.

Why didn’t you say?

He is so lazy!

Let him sweat a bit too.

He makes me do all his work, always.

Anyway, where is this stupid Meera?

She was to come right here, isn’t it?

Every time it’s the same with her.

Careless about exam results.

By the way, will you come home

or will you meet at the bus station?

I’ll meet at the bus station.

Most likely my dad will drop me.

Ok.

Hey, I got my job offer letter!

Wow! That is amazing!

Congratulations.

It's through for me, you know, right?

But...

I want to do my masters.

When are you applying?

I have already done it.

Have been accepted by two universities..

*Film playing in theatre*

Let us just sleep during travel,

not keep talking.

I am quite tired.

I hope there are no bedbugs.

That is the bus, I was told.

Come let’s go.

Meera?

Oh!

Ok.

Thanks auntie.

It seems she left at noon.

If she didn't want to come,

she should have informed us earlier.

It’s always the same with her.

It is so difficult to get her.

Wonder where she went.

Should we inform her mother,

that she is not with us?

May be we shouldn’t.

It would get her worried.

She will be fine wherever she is.

What do we do now?

Please do not change the plan.

Girl: No chance.

I am not returning home after coming so far.

Rarely do I get permission to go on such trips.

Please! Come.

Come...come let’s go…let's go..

"You are the one for me, my friend"

"You are the one"

“You are the one for me, my friend"

“You are the one"

“For all the worlds inside of me"

“You are the only ruler"

"You are the one for me, my friend"

"You are the one"

“You are the one for me, my friend"

"For all the talks of my heart"

"You are the only form"

"You are the one for me, my friend"

"You are the one"

"You are the one for me, my friend"

This silence.

This is it for me, I guess.

All that I thought life was,

it has been a journey of proving me wrong.

Till now.

I learnt life through cinema.

If I am not in a theatre, hiding behind a story,

here, in this place,

in the arms of these mountains is where..

I feel at home.

Cinema has been a friend,

a companion,

a guru.

Everything.

I feel stuck somewhere between life and cinema,

Now in this real life,

what to expect out of it?

I don't know.

How to be in this world?

Not sure anymore.

That day,

as much as I want to forget,

I can’t.

My brain holds vivid visual memories,

a curse or a boon, I don’t know.

I think I was 9 years old.

It was summer holidays,

and all my friends were at their grandparents’ houses

or at their relatives’ houses!

I was alone,

as usual.

I never went to relatives houses,

never felt close to any of them.

These hills

and those rocks were more real than any human I knew.

My parents were at work.

It was thrilling,

I was scared

but I went in anyway.

I had always wanted to watch movies sitting in front rows.

Dad somehow never took us there.

*Film plays in theatre*

I couldn’t even look at his face,

I couldn’t understand what just happened,

but I could feel it was wrong.

I wanted to run back home

But I couldn’t.

I wanted to watch the film,

I was there for that.

I couldn’t let that man decide my movie experience.

So I sat again to continue watching the film

but all through looking at front rows,

trying to locate who that man was.

But they were all just black shadows.

I don’t want to write about the abuses that I went through,

my time or my mind space,

such men don't deserve either.

But this incident … there is a link…

there is always a link to everything.

My mom didn’t want me to grow up there in that town,

she feared I would elope with someone!

So we shifted to a bigger city.

Bro, What a beautiful babe!

Why sweetheart, won’t you look at me?

The bus is here, let's be fast.

If you go like this, you think I will leave you alone?

Don't help her,

she never learns.

Hi, hi!

I was sitting idle at home…

Hey, your love interest is here.

Go go...tell her today at least!

Meera wait

Ohhh Meeraaa...

Come Saji, let's go in

Is it for me?

Yes for you.

Why?

Just like that.

It was like an artwork.

Considering his efforts, I couldn’t refuse it.

Thanks.

Just thanks?

What more should I be saying?

Okay…

I have to write news, see she hasn't....

Here she is.

Wow, what is this?

He has given you a rose!

But I didn’t know,

accepting the rose had other meanings to it.

Bro, she accepted!

You managed to win over her!

Say Meera!! What did you tell him?

See here, I have a doubt.

Sow, you first write down the formula.

Cancel that, write it afresh.

Hi Meera..

Hi.

Hi Meera.

Hi.

A plus B square

whole square, ok?

is equal to

A square

plus two A B

plus B square.

Write down the problem.

X plus six

into X plus two

is equal to X

X plus 2

In our town,

boys and girls, all used to bathe together.

So this didn’t seem odd.

OK

Substitute the value of X

*Kannada song playing in the background*

Bro, what are they doing with their hands?
