Why did you scribble in my notebook?

My bad

I won't repeat it. Let go of me

Forgive me!

Let go of him

Get up!

What's the spat?

Get up

Why did you beat him?

He scribbled in my notebook

What's wrong with it?

My note! My rights!

He scribbled without my permission. That's why I hit him

He apologized, so I let him go

Oh! Fine, the head master wants to meet you. Come

Sir...

Just take care until I come

Sure, sir

Come with me

"As this life goes on in a narrow path..."

"suddenly the path has diversions"

"The legs ache as we walk through it and..."

"the stones in the path further worsen it"

"Slowly all the directions seems to be shutting down"

Sir,where are we going?

I will tell you, come

Sir, if I study well and clear all my exams...

my father has promised to buy me a similar cycle in 10th grade"

Why did you stop, sir?

If you score good marks...

I, myself will buy you the bicycle

"Even if we wish, flowers won't blossom in a banyan tree"

"Hailstones never live in the soil but it remains in our memory"

Lakshmi...

while working at the shop, your dad had a heart attack and passed away

"You may like them and establish a relationship..."

"but the sparrow will never live in a hut and will fly back to it's nest"

"It can never separate from it's family"

Look at your dad!

"One who taught me to speak is no more and here I am, weeping"

"I'm crying so hard that my tears have flooded the earth"

Whom do we have now?

How could you leave us and go?

Dad!

Don't say so, please. The corpse is getting drenched in the rain

Just allow us to place it inside the house for couple of hours

No way! This is a new house!

Just three months ago I conducted the house warming ceremony

I didn't build a house for someone else's corpse to be laid here

Ask them to vacate tomorrow!

Give me that!

Here is the deposit of Rs. 500 which they had paid

Ask them to take the corpse and vacate!

It's okay if a man doesn't own a house when he is alive...

but he must own a house while in death bed

Only then he will die a respectful death

"If you lose hope and confidence then you will lose everyone"

"With time you will move on, so don't worry"

Mr.Lakshmikanthan

Time for the rituals. Please come

Yes, I'm here. Coming

Please proceed

Sir...

Look, it's dry over there

Though the prayer room is as per vasthu sastra...

it is small and can you extended it a bit?

Yes, sir. It can be done

Sir, why trouble yourself?

-Leave, it. I got it -Come on, contractor...

do you think this is M sand?

It's pure river sand. Not even a grain must be wasted

It's all hard earned money

-Use all of it -Okay, sir

Please have it

Shanmathi, still how many cups of tea is required?

Five to six cups will be required, dad

Did you include the labours working at the back?

Yes, I did

How many times do I tell you?

You don't have to do all this work

What's wrong with it?

Usually people shed their sweat to build their homes

Well, I'm shedding a few drops of blood too

Hold on

Painter! Why don't you use the ladder instead of standing on the wall?

Use it and do the work

He stamps on the new wall and ruins it!

Sure, sir

Sorry, sir

Yes Nageswar Rao

Like they say "No Pain No Gain"

Amidst all the problems I somehow managed...

to complete the construction successfully

This is after all my dream project

It has come out good

Please be here on time for house warming ceremony in the morning

Bye

Come on, why are you still on the phone?

Coming

-Welcome, dad -Thanks my dear daughter

-How are you, my child? -I am fine

Welcome, dear in-law

-Greetings -Please, have a seat

Serve your father some coffee, dear

Hold this

Here, have some coffee

He mustn't drink coffee during the ritual

I saw you drink twice in the morning

Look how she tackled you

Drama experience speaks

Fine, he can have it

You please have it

-Tasty, right? It is awesome -Indeed

What took you so long to get these Vadas?

Don't talk too much

No Vada for you!

You walk like a queen

-Catch it! -Thank you

Painter, come on

Coming, sir

How many times do I have to call you guys?

Please take your seat

He doesn't know where to keep whom!

Sir, it's okay

-We shall eat later... -Brother...

This feast is mainly for you guys

You are like a father to me

My dad gave meaning to my life and you gave meaning to my dream

So, come on! Sit down and eat! Painter, sit down and eat

Hey, bring the sweets

Mr. Nageshwar Rao, thanks a lot for making it to my house warming ceremony

I will never forget all the help you did for me in Hyderabad

Thank You

-Hope you know my children -Of course

She is my daughter-in-law

I have another family

Don't be shocked. I didn't mean a mistress

My drama troupe. Let me introduce you to them

Meet Mr. Ramamurthy

-Greetings -For 60 years...

he has been rocking the drama scene. A legend!

He is like a brother to me

I am a part of his family

He is..

I've also been in the drama scene for many years

-He just won't listen to me -Yes

Guess why?

My name is 'Kaadhu' (Ear) Ganeshan

Hope the name gave you the answer

But when anyone talks in the drama play...

he will understand it from their lip movement and counter accordingly

Whoa! He gets applauded for that, like anything!

But unfortunately he can't hear it

True, that's me!

This is his daughter and she is also an artist

She is like a daughter to me

He is Mr.Vinod

He is an expert in...

what's that? Yes, in mimicry

Can he mimic Rama Rao voice?

Right from Rama Rao, Nageshwar Rao to Allu Arjun...

he can mimic none of their voices

But he can mimic all Tamil actors

-Learn Telugu, you can shine! -Nice!

-She is... -His wife

Only on stage

She wanted to become great actress like Saroja Devi

Thank God, the Tamil Nadu audience escaped

I mean poor director...

died due to heart attack when she did her first take, first shot

True, isn't it?

Later she tried a lot to get a chance in cinema

She said "To hell with cinema" and started acting in plays

She is like Saroja Devi of the drama world

Her name is S.Roja Devi

-So glad -Me too

-You must come for my daughter's wedding -Definitely!

All of you must come

I'll bring them

Thank you

How long?

Wait, dude

I drank four bottles of beer

Let me empty it all

Fine, get done with it

I'm flying...

What a pleasure!

Oh God!

Oh God! Sir! Sir! Please, no!

Look at them rough him up!

Sir, why did you hurl stone at him?

I didn't find anything else to hurl

What was his fault?

Don't get me started on it!
