This festival is celebrated by everyone.

And every state celebrates it in their own way.

But in our Tamil Nadu, We do it on another level

On the eve of Deepavali

The entire place is getting ready To celebrate the festival,

On the outskirts of the village, Stays an elderly man called Chellaiah

Who waits eagerly to fulfill, His grandson's wish for Deepavali.

Stop!

Switch off the vehicle and come.

Coming.

Once we take the goat from here

We must quickly find a good place to open the stall.

Vellaisamy? I was afraid that you might not come.

How can I not come, brother?

Take this. This is ₹1500 less than what we agreed upon.

I'll pay the balance tomorrow morning After selling the mutton.

No problem. I must first take my grandson to the shop.

It's almost Deepavali, right?

I was afraid I may not be able to buy him new clothes.

- Count it. - No problem. I'll get the goat.

Karuppu...

It never wanders away!

Hey, we'll search all over the place by using torch light.

My grandson loved it so much.

Hey... Karuppu... stop.

Don't splash the water.

Hey don't splash water on me!

Come on Karuppu!

Don't be afraid, come!

Don't splash the water.

Don't tease him, it's a sin!

Kathir!

Do you know?

My grandfather is getting fire crackers from Sivakasi!

I'll make this village run around in fear By bursting crackers near them.

My street is going to get destroyed!

My grandpa promised To buy them for me too.

What? Like last year's Deepavali,

You spent entire day with just one packet of crackers. Like that?

Hey, don't boast so much!

This year it may rain on Deepavali and We may not be able to burst crackers.

- Am I right, Kathir? - Yes, buddy.

Did you buy new dress, Kathir?

No.

I've already bought it.

The same one you brought that day?

Yes, one shirt on the inside, And another on the outside.

it's super, like a coat suit.

My grandpa too will buy something like that.

I'll come to your house tomorrow, will you show it to me?

Okay, I'll show you.

We too are going to Madurai to buy new dress.

My father has promised to take me.

My grandpa too has promised to take me.

Your grandpa will take you to the nearby Karungala.

If not he'll take you to Melur.

We're going to Madurai!

There, Chennai silks, Rajkamal,

And then, Pothys!

We'll visit those showrooms to buy the dress.

Your grandpa will never take you there.

Finished playing?

Both of you keep playing the entire day!

Always following you, like your wife.

Go and tie it.

Come, Karuppu.

Karuppu, eat.

- Grandpa! - Ummm...

Okay, grandpa.

Eat.

Hmmm... power cut?

₹600 for grandson's dress.

₹200 for mutton.

₹250 for fire crackers.

₹150 for her sari.

Rice, pulses and other items would cost another ₹500.

Somehow it'll cost me between ₹1500 to ₹2000.

Where do I get the money for all this?

Take a look at this.

It's been a week since we got the bank notice.

How handsome our grandson looked with that gold chain around his neck!

That was the only thing left to him by his mother.

You kept it in the bank as collateral. Don't let it go!

We're in neck deep problems

And you've raised his hopes by promising to buy things for him.

He's a child without mother and father.

If you fail to buy the clothes for him, Won't he feel cheated?

Don't irritate me.

Do you think I won't buy things for him?

Go... go to sleep.

Yes. make promises as if there's money in your dad's bank account.

From which you can withdraw and buy whatever your grandson wants.

Won't I see how you are going to buy these for him?

Oh my God! I've to take care of this too!

Looks like I need ₹5000 to manage this Deepavali.

Early morning 4 AM

How much time will you take to make a tea?

Be patient.

The milk is boiling, right? Why are you also boiling?

Enough of boiling it. Give me my tea.

To answer nature's call, they're taking my life early morning.

Stop talking and make tea quickly.

Wait. It's getting ready.

Why are you in a hurry?

You have nervous weakness also

Why don't you open the shop early morning, man?

This is what happens if you keep sleeping hugging your wife.

What? Did you peep in and see that?
