'Wish for two minds'

Hush baby!

Why are you crying dear?

What is it? Are you hungry?

Are you hungry sweetie?

Sit here my dear I'll bring you milk

Hey! You! Who are you?

Nanda!

What is it dad?

Someone just rushed out with our baby

Ayyo! I'll call the police

Hey, stop

Give me back the baby

Hey, stop man

Give me back the baby

My baby!

My Kanmani

What's happening here?

I am Judge Krishnamurthy's son

Is that so What's the matter?

He ran off with our child from our house

Oh really! How dare you kidnap a child from the judge's house!

You can take your child back I'll deal with this fellow

My baby!

Go

Sir, she is my baby!

March man! You need a good beating

Are you an agent who sells abducted kids?

Or do you break their limbs to make them beg for money?

That is my own child

Sir, he has been repeating this ever since he was caught

He must be drunk

You not only dare kidnap the judge's grand daughter...

...but also claim she is yours to escape punishment, eh?

- I will thrash you - Answer him

Are you pretending to be mad and trying to sell off the child?

You want us to go crazy trying to locate you?

Tell us who you actually are

How many more accomplices do you have?

Tell me! What's your name?

Answer me

Where are you from?

My name is Selvam

I am from Perumanam

I am part of a small family of my grandma, mother and brother

I work as a manager in a clothes store in the city

Mother!

Why are you yelling?

Can't you see I am coming

They supply water at odd hours

If we do not go collect it we'll be minus water for the day

Such ignorance

If my daughter doesn't do it who else will?

Why should mother slog like this?

Just one word from you

A goddess is all ready to come with bag and baggage

What?! What did you say?

You are a deep fellow hiding all these feelings

Hey! What's happening here?

Nothing! He just said that a goddess may come to stay with us

Who is that goddess?

I totally puzzled

Answer her my boy

I hardly know the question How do I answer her?

We did not ask

Your grandma only wants to know who that goddess was?

Who slogs in this house the whole day?

My mother of course

So you do realize it

There is only one solution to stop this daily drudgery

What is that grandma?

Didn't you say an angel will come to our house?

If she comes, that will solve everything

Tell us what's in your mind?

A girl like a goddess, who I like very much will come

Oh, is it that young lady teacher?

I thought it was a girl from USA

Yesterday morning I saw a girl in yellow chudidhar

I think she is new for this town I don't know who is she

Who is that?

That house girl

Look she's coming!

Ask to her how much cost of sweet?

Ponni, how much do the sweet balls cost?

Are you out to tease me?

Do you want the cops to break your legs?

Of course not! Just wanted to know the price of your sweets

Why don't you go near the temple?

You'll get your answer there!

You asked for it!

Is teasing girls your only agenda in life?

If you target me for that, I'll simply kill you

Ponni why waste your time on these wastrels

Go, carry on with your work, my girl

Ponni said she'd come Why is she not to be seen?

Why should she come here?

Maybe she is selling her wares trying to save up for her marriage?

Selling wares indeed!

Kanakam

Don't you realize his intentions?

He's not able to bear the way you are forced to toil

He wants her to come and sharing your work

What does she lose by coming and doing a few chores?

Do you know what she did yesterday?

No, what did she do?

She got into a bus and a guy nearby misbehaved

What happened?

What else can happen?

She has kicked him right at his crotch

Enough my boy! Go shower before your cheeks vanish

Mother, you mind your own work

As it is, I am quite irritated

Sure you are!

Ask him why he is irritated

What does this Ponni think of herself?

Yesterday she has rained blows on a guy

Was it necessary

What if she got hurt? Who will care for her

You must take care of her

Why are you cribbing about that?

Oh really! You mean she will go around asking for trouble and I must tolerate it

I am not a spineless fellow to tolerate such atrocities

I can't do it

You always be brave Don't angry for that

Not only that, she goes around with her cheeky friends

claiming they are a rebel group

All this is not good

Okay, I will take care of her

Hey! What is this? Give it back

Why are you chasing her?

What do you think you are doing?

You think women are cheap? and treat her like this?

If you do, then forget it right away

We have a group to fight that

All these years we had been suppressed

You do know how a snake hisses out suppressed venom

Don't do it

Don't try to provoke women

We are no ordinary group We know the martial arts

We heard you scold our secretary very often

If this continues, you may be left with your clothes on your body

- But... - Enough for today, let's go now

Okay, we are leaving only because she requested

Any more of this and we'll be back

Come lets go

Such arrogance with no one to control!

How are you grandma?

Take it

- How are you granny? - I am okay

Come Ponni How much is your bill total?

Rs 450

What?

Just for 10 packets of chips and 20 packets of sweet balls?

You are quoting like price of gold

When the gold price hikes Does anyone question why?

Apt question

Prices of everything from curry leaves to mustard has gone up

Why do you crib when I do?

I must also have a margin of profit, eh?

You talk as if you don't get a profit!

I feel the snacks you supply are all old stock

Look! Whatever you say don't dare find fault with my stuff

Veerachamy, don't find fault with Ponni

Once she gets married your snack supply will stop

Ponni won't go anywhere

She will settle here in our own town

Right, Ponni?

Here it Ponni

If you allow such oldies here your stock will soon become old too

First clear out

She's such a spit fire Think of our poor Selvam

- Poor chap - Yes indeed!

Why unlock?

It is very difficult It is not open

Selvam, how come you are here?

What? You've begun doing your job in broad daylight?

I was just whiling away time

Everyone knows how you while away time

What?! In this town?

Who called me a thief in my own town?

What is there in this place to rob?

A few old photographs and some tattered nets

If I tried to sell it they'll beat me black and blue

Last week, I found a copper vessel under the banyan tree

I did not touch it

You do know, one who robs out of town never does so in his own place

Outside town or inside a thief is always a thief

Too intelligent!

I am only a small time thief

But you seem to be a bigger thief

What did you say?!

Did you not pick the lock of a young girl

Young girl?

Didn't you steal Ponni's heart?

Yea...s

Stop all this and go do something worthwhile

Sure, I'll take care of myself You carry on

Go Selvam You spoilt my day

There is no lock that can't be opened

One day I will pick a lock that will settle me in life for ever
