Kalabha Kadhalan (கலாபக் காதலன்)

The drawing contest conducted by Puliankulam...

...ladies association is now on progress magnificently.

Public are requested not to disrupt the participants.

This is an appeal from the organizers of the event.

Look at this... The parrot drawing is superb.

I think that will get the first prize.

Look there. The peacock drawing looks so beautiful...

...with its feathers spread out.

I think this will fetch the first prize.

All others appear unkempt compared to this drawing.

You...

Haughty girl.

- Why did you do that? - Then only there won't be any contests in future.

When you are about to lose, can you mess up the contest?

- Yes. Careful sister. - Can't you wear a shawl over this?

- Why should I wear that? - You look like a folk dancer.

Who? Me? You only look like a model in the fashion show.

What's wrong with me? I am wearing a sari only.

Do you think the sari shrouds everything?

Look there... Your fair hip is exposed.

Yes it is. What can be done now?

Will you give your upper garment? I will use it inside.

People will think that you are mad.

I will cover with the sari and nothing will be seen.

What are you sisters doing here?

Aren't you ready yet? I am ready, aunt.

I was stitching a hook for her.

You are the bride to be girl. They are coming to see you only.

- Is that so urgent for her? - Aunt?

About 47 of them, including the grandpa, grandma...

...daddy and the mom came in a truck to see you.

That day I prepared snacks for them. The groom didn't come that day.

The groom alone comes today. I have to prepare snacks for him also.

Why have you not sporting the flowers yet?

Mom. The groom has come. There was a call.

The groom has come. Get ready fast and come.

Shall I go like this?

Herdsman. Give way for the car to go.

Is an engine fitted to the cow's ass to go fast?

- Wait man. - Good sense of humour.

We thought you will come with your parents.

I can not be free like this, had I come with them.

You are the girl's dad and you are very casual.

The girl's mom is standing with hands on waist.

The elders at home look very joyful.

The locals are enjoying the fun.

Kanmani stands behind me. I talk so casually to you...

...because I have come here all alone.

How long should I wait to see the girl?

Kanmani. Call Anbarasi here.

Come sister. - Come dear.

The coffee seems to be little for me.

Have you sipped it before you gave it to me?

Plese be seated.

Go dear.

Please be casual. It is your house.

Talk something.

Talk.

Ask something.

Ask him.

No... I...

You wanted to ask something. Come on, ask...

Who is your favourite film star?

That is a good question.

Favourite film star. Besides that, what else can we talk about?

What else do you know?

- I like Rajini very much. - I too like Rajini.

I thought you would say Vijay. Because Kanmani likes only Vijay.

I like only Rajini.

- Who did he say that he likes? - He likes Rajnikant.

- I like only M.G.R. - Is it important now? Keep quiet.

So you say our tastes are alike.

Ask me something else.

Song. Ask him to sing.

This is my own request.

Usually, the men ask the girl to sing.

For a change, why don't you sing a song.

- You want me to sing? - Yes uncle. Sing a song.

I'll sing then.

I saw the angel and fell in love with her.

She got unified with my soul.

She got into my heart, mixed with my breath...

...and changed my way of life.

Superb.

Why have you stopped with four lines?

I am also like you. I know only four lines of all songs.

Why don't you shut your mouth?

Ok then, I am leaving.

The elders have seen her already. They have sent you now.

- You can tell us your views. - You can be open, let us feel the joy.

That is why she is asking.

That is right.

I like Anbarasi very much.

My God. We are happy now.

- I take leave then. - Right.

I think I have taken a lot of water. where...?

- Take him to the toilet. - Come uncle.

One minute. I want to ask you one thing.

You too? Ok, ask me.

You should not mistake me. Hope you will not...

Not at all, ask me.

We need your blood certificate?

Blood certificate? Why do you want that?

You have a led a bachelor life in Madras...

You might have had enough friends there...

Something would have happened in bachelor life.

I am not saying it is wrong.

I have at least studied in Bangalore...

But she has not gone beyond this Tirunelveli.

If any thing happens to her, we can not bear that.

Normally people ask only for the horoscope.

I feel the blood certificate is more important.

That's why I asked. You should not take it otherwise.

I understand. I would not take it otherwise.

You will get my blood certificate in 2 days.

- Come man. - Why have you come here chum?

Why didn't you come yesterday?

Why have you not come to my house yesterday?

I agreed initially.

On second thoughts, I was very scared.

I don't think it will be right.

Why it wouldn't come alright? I am paying you money, isn't it?

It'll come alright. Look, I need 10 photographs.

They should look superb.

If I am caught I will be in trouble.

I will give you 100 Rupees for each photograph.

It's not so easy to take a girl's photograph.

I will give you 200 Rupees.

Try to understand me buddy.

I have just one camera for my survival. If I am caught I will be doomed.

I will give you 300 Rupees for each photograph.

Here is 3000 Rupees for 10 photographs.

If you mess up things, I will set your camera on fire.

Get it and I want you back.

Let the drums beat Tie the nuptial knot slowly

Prosper like banyan Spread like the grass.

Blossom like 'Mullai' (Jasmine) flower.

Should live fragrantly.

Oh circled moon wearing silk sari and ring come.

The girl is smooth like butter.

Nuptial drums are beaten The cot would become a rocker

As the girl fondles the groom clad in silk.

The groom smiles like the pearls of Tuticorin.

Both their eyes should mingle.

And an affray should happen.

Should control in the month of Thai.

Man and woman are the different banks.

Let the river of life mingle in the ocean of love.

Reconcile plus and minus points.

Live by growing the relationship

That is nuptial knot.

Virgin girl is like the plantain. Would look bending her head.

Both are tied in nuptial ceremony.

Desire is like butter. Chanting fire is like the groom.

Both subsides (anai-hug) After the marriage.

You should support your relatives.

Says the pit of marriage shed.

Guests who blessed wholeheartedly should eat to their content.

Says the leaves of marriage feast.

Nuptial drums would make sound.

The betel would gratify the guests.

The door of happiness is...

... the nuptial knot.

Affectionate mother and the lanai, your play area...

... would weep when you part.

Little love, little lust.

Few questions and few replies.

It would be like as if left in lurch.

Odd feelings in groom's heart.

Who can clarify it?

He would give life when she rests on him.

Who would assert his eagerness?

Everyone face this in life.

Marriage isn't a mystery but it yields flowers.

The door-sill of the married life is...

... the nuptial knot.

Oh circled moon wearing silk sari and ring come.

The girl is smooth like butter.

Nuptial drums are beaten The cot would become a rocker

As the girl fondles the groom clad in silk.

The groom smiles like the pearls of Tuticorin.

- Anbarasi. Bring the groom also. - Please come in-law.

I will go with Anbarasi in my car.

- I will get some flowers and come. - Ok, come fast.

Seems you have come before us to temple.

Or else, they will close the temple.

- That is why I am here. - Okay.

Give me 2 yards of Jasmine garland.

It costs only 5 Rupees. You give me 50 Rupees.

What will I do for change?

Damn you. Do you want me to sport flowers bought by you?

Kanmani. Careful. Who are you?

I caught her when she was about to fall.

- Does not look like that. - What do you mean?

You may go, I will tackle him

Don't you have sense?

No uncle, she fell down...

Don't talk nonsense. We are no more relatives.

Don't you have sense? Go off.

You come, he is my boy Has no sense.
