Hi!

Cutie...

Ow!

"Sa ne Ga pa Re sa"

Sing properly.

Don't stress on that note.

Sing softer.

"I'm sorry."

Raghini...

Will you never get it right, you dunce?

You're making me lose my voice.

You will never match up to your mother.

Beautiful ball, an out swinger...

Damn. Such a moron. Always lets the team down in critical situations.

Don't worry, Dad.

Who's next?

Harish.

That loser!

He is absolutely useless. Just switch off the TV.

...has shown a lot of potential here and there.

Ummm... let's see how he plays today.

Why waste our time?

He is good for nothing.

He is usually useless. But...

I think Tamilnadu is in a very good position

Yeah, absolutely. This season different players have stepped up for them.

And they look like they're putting in a good all round performance this year.

And... Harish is off the mark immediately.

Pavithraaaaa. I've already laid out the dress on the bed.

Wear it.

Sing properly, dear.

I asked you to sing properly.

Sing like my Mother.

How many times does she have to teach you the same thing?

That's enough for today.

When will you learn to sing properly?

Would you like another serving?

No.

Why do you never eat properly at home?

Take another helping.

Do you have to go through so much trouble to eat it?

Huh?

Be glad that at least she enjoys your Mom's fish.

Okay, Where are we with the project?

Pavithra, presentation.

Rathi, coding.

-Jessica's boyfriend, research. -Jessica's boyfriend, research.

Guys uh...

My boyfriend will finish the research soon.

Okay!

The poor lad does so much more than just research.

He pays for your food...

Acts as your personal chauffeur.

Cleans your motorcycle too.

The only thing he hasn't done yet is clean your bathroom.

He loves me, he loves doing all this for me.

Will your boyfriend do any of these things for you?

Why should he?

I have a pair of hands, legs,

and most importantly, a brain.

I'm independent.

At least my boyfriend is not a sex addict like yours.

Look at you. Carrying a condom in your bag all the time.

Jealous that you haven't done it yet?

Why should I be jealous?

We're saving ourselves.

Whoa!

I don't expect you to get it.

Pavithra does. She hasn't done it either.

Why are you dragging me into this?

It's a disgrace to do these things before getting married.

My actions don't hurt anyone. I'm not cheating anyone either.

I'm doing what I like.

Does that make me a bad person?

Nice.

Try reasoning this out with your parents and relatives.

Society will shun you.

Okay, madam.

In that case, I'll gather everybody and perform religious rituals...

before doing it with my boyfriend.

Sounds good?

What?

I-- I don't know. I don't care.

Enjoy.

It tastes amazing.

You want some.

Hello!

Is your Mom home?

No, Aunty.

That's okay.

Come and sit with me.

Sing something for me.

What for?

I'll tell you why.

We've introduced a new product.

We haven't revealed it yet.

It hasn't even hit the market yet.

I got it just for you.

It's a Voice Enhancer spray!

I don't want it, aunty.

I use it every morning and night.

Hear how amazing my voice sounds.

Let me show you.

You sound great.

This has green tea in it.

It will soothe your voice

Use it for two days and see the difference for yourself.

You'll start singing as great as your grandma.

Take it!

I'll take the money from your mom later.

Bye, aunty.

Don't mention it.

Pixie, let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Hi!

Hi...Hi.

Hello!

What's the name?

Panther, Black Panther.

Oh, Cookies?

Let's go, Pixie.

Come, come... let's go.

Your work is done. Go away.

Come Pixie.

Hello, Uncle. How are you?

Welcome, Kiddo.

What's this?

Those are cookies.

Here you go. Your favorite chocolate.

How are you?

-I'm great. -How about your kids?

All good, Kiddo.

Happy shopping.

Hi...

I bought some fruits from the store.

Would you like a banana?

Okay.

Sure?

Bye, bye.

That was a great knock today.

Harish, come on. You played really well.

Okay?

Just wait till I get my hands on that Chinaman bowler.

Did your dad watch the game?

Yes.

And?

He did...

but he didn't care for your batting.

Didn't I play well?

He watched only until Ajay's batting.

To hell with your dad's obsession with Ajay.

Please come here.

Please come closer.

-What? -Come closer.

A little bit more.

He will never get this.

Did you try Naidu aunty's Voice Enhancer Spray?

It's amazing.

What's gotten into you?

What's up with you, Mom? Why would you fall for this?

Be skeptical.

I'll ask Raghini to try it.

I'm going with my Mom to the concert tomorrow.

It'll get done by 8.

-Pick us up, okay? -Okay.

Can I tag along too?

I don't think so.

Get better at the basics first.

Then you can join us in the big leagues.

Pavithra is great. She sings just like her grandma.

Let's hear that from her grandma.

Raghini, you're making me lose my shit everyday.
