His name is Shankar.

Ever since he was a child, he used to get a lot of dreams.

Whatever comes in his dreams,

happens in real life.

That's what happened today.

Let's see what happens after this.

Hi Brother!

How is your business?

Not bad.

You say the same every single day.

Well then, did your son find a job?

- How will he? - Why?

Had he gotten a job as soon as he finished his ITI,

He'd have been settled by now.

He was adamant of becoming a police official.

After wasting his years, he is looking for jobs now.

Let's see! Hope he gets a job soon.

Fine! I'll take leave.

- Take care of your business. Bye! - Okay brother.

Do you have duty?

It's 4.00 AM. Ain't I supposed to go home?

Hey beautiful! Are you drawing Kolam?

Yes handsome! I am drawing Kolam.

Brinjal gravy again?

Are you a father or a murderer?

Trying to kill me with the gravy?

Brinjal gravy again?

Are you a father or a fuhrer?

Trying to kill me with a gravy?

Why do you talk so lowly of brinjal?

It costs Rs.40 per Kg.

Do you think it's your degree certificate?

A good for nothing?

We will be eating only brinjal for the next four days.

As a father I can add tamarind to the gravy today.

Maybe, lentils tomorrow.

How many times have I told you not to talk to me directly?

Talk to me on WhatsApp.

All children are good for nothing till they get a job.

Talk to me after I get a job and draw my first month's salary.

How many times have I told you not to talk to me directly?

Talk to me on WhatsApp.

Instead of spending money on your education,

had I spent it on her treatment, I could have saved her.

She constantly insisted on getting you educated till her death.

An ideal child will save their parent even at the cost of their own life.

You will do the last rites for me just like the way you did for your mother.

What else can you do?

If only you had gotten your license like I did,

You could have at least become a garbage driver and saved your mother.

I can't do a stinky job like you.

Then get a job based on your qualifications..

I've told you a thousand times. I want to become a police officer.

To become one, you should have studied IPS.

You've only studied ITI.

Stop your rant. I'll find a job tomorrow itself.

But don't talk to me before I get my first month's salary.

I swear on mother!

What's this ID card?

My eyesight is getting poor. Should I start wearing glasses?

You got a job?

Here! Your son got a job.

Bless him. He'll be fine.

Come!

Is this the uniform?

How much is your salary?

Hey! Am asking you.

Will you come home for lunch or should I send it over?

Hey, you said you'd talk to me after you get a job.

Shankar?!

Thank you sir.

Welcome Shankar! Please sit down.

This is your job details.

Be safe.

- Thank you Sir! - All the best.

What kind of job? A job related to my qualification.

Proway electric company. It's at Mahindra city.

My salary is Rs.40,000 per month.

I'll have my lunch at the canteen.

Listen. Don't try to talk to me directly just because I got a job.

I swore on my mother I'd talk to you only after getting my first month's salary.

Why is that you talk to your father on WhatsApp,

But you're telling him not to talk directly?

Nothing serious. Me and my father got into a small misunderstanding.

In a rush, I swore on my mother I'd talk to

him only after getting my first month salary.

Oh!

I'd been restless thinking when I'd get a job, when I'd draw my salary,

When I'd be able to talk to my father..

Boys usually like their mother, right?

How come you like your father so much?

True that. All the children usually like their mother first.

But as they grow up, they start liking their father more.

Because, a wife will come in the place of the mother.

But to fill the father's place,

Only god must come.

Not only to me. But to all the children,

Their father is the god.

Baskar!

The garbage wasn't picked up from Nakheeran street it seems. Go and check.

- Greetings Sir! - What's it Subburayan?

I've decided to quit the job from this month.

Quitting the job? Why?

If I quit, Won't I get a pension of two or three lakhs?

- You've worked for 30 years, right? - Yes sir.

You'll get more than four lakhs.

I want to collect the money,

give it to whomsoever concerned and make my son a police officer as he dreams.

If not, the desire will stay in his mind like a non-degradable waste.

Am just five years older than you.

If today, am in a position to pay you, it's because of my father.

It's because of this company he founded. Father is our hero!

Here! Take your first month's salary.

Enough of talking to your father on WhatsApp.

Go and talk to him in person.

Lavanya did mention it!

You may go now!

Thank you sir!

Dad!

Hello brother! Want some tea?

No dear! I don't want any tea.

I won't be coming from tomorrow.

I came to say goodbye.

Why?

If I quit the job, I'll get four lakh rupees.

I want to give it to whomsoever concerned

and make my son a police officer as he dreams.

- You adore your son! Don't you? - Of course yes!

Is there a father who is not fond of his son?

True that.

Know what? He has called me thrice already as he's got his salary.

I didn't pick it up.

Did I father him expecting that he'd feed me?

I should deal him the same way he treats me.

If he has to say anything he will send a voice note on WhatsApp.

- Yes! I remember. - Am also going to send him a voice note.

What's up dear? You had called me it seems.

You promised you'd call only after getting your salary.

Did you get the salary? I knew it!

What's up dear?

You'd called me?

You promised you'd call only after getting the salary.

Did you get the salary?

I knew it!

'My dear almighty, Leaves me, why?'

'People still left in my life, I wonder who?'

'The sky shatters, the soul scatters'

Shankar! I spoke ill of your education the other day out of anger.

I apologise for it!

'Unhealed wounds'

'Ceaseless sadness'

'Dad! Can my heart bear it?'

'You're my blood! You're my world, Dad!'

You wanted it, right?

I'll make you a police officer even if it costs my life.

'I climbed your shoulders, swinged and slept on your chest'

'Even at temples, I prayed to you'

'Dad's labour brought home our food' 'The salt in it is nothing but his sweat'

'You're my blood! You're my world, Dad!'

Dear!

Are you Shankar?

Are you the son of the garbage truck driver who met with an accident?

Am coming from East Tambaram police station.

The accident happened within our limit.

There is not even a CCTV camera in that route.

We need to investigate to find out who ran over your dad.

They escape even in broad daylight.

This incident happened at midnight in a remote area.

We usually file these cases as hit and run.

It was a black coloured car.

Can you find it?

It's not easy to find it without the car's registration number.

Fine! Come to the station tomorrow morning.

We'll start the enquiry.

Hmm!

Head injury. He has completely lost his consciousness.

At any time he may slip into a coma.

The body is not responding to the treatment.

We can save him only if he regains his consciousness.

Let's wait till the evening.

If not, take him home.

Here, It will cost almost a lakh for a day.

Even if you're ready to spend, what if it's of no use?

Can I..

See my father?

'What was my sin? I burn in the pyre of affection'

'Just to hear you speak a word, I do live in this world'

'I'll give my life for you to live'

Shankar! You'd become independent while am still healthy, right?

Only after their children become independent,

could the parents die peacefully.

Dad!

Talk to me dad!

I got my salary dad!

Talk to me dad!

Dad!

Talk to me dad!

Dad! I got my salary!

Dad!

Sh! You can't cry here.
