Mr. Jeevan.

Excuse me sir. He is calling you.

Welcome.

Come in Jeevan.

Have a seat.

I was expecting you.

Damn! That was an awesome novel!

The emotions in your writing are so real! You have proved yourself!

I was touched.

How old are you?

I am 28 years old sir.

So, a young writer?

Good. Good.

Him first.

Have some tea.

Your age doesn't reflect your experience.

Such a wonderful creativity.

Your work lives up to your name, i.e, Jeevan (Meaning: Life)!

- Congratulations. - Thank you sir.

Congratulations Jeevan.

So, I hear that you are the next award winner?

Remember, the publishing rights are mine.

Sounds good?

13 bundles of your novel are unsold.

Jeevan, your stories are outdated.

Think of something better.

We need sales to rocket like it used to.

What are you looking at? Get lost!

Jeevan, do you get what I am saying?

How do you expect the cliched family sentiment novels to make business?

We are in the 'Operation Nova' times...

Get me an excellent horror story or an anti-hero story.

Or at least write an erotic novel!

That is the current trend!

Sir, let me explain.

Try to understand what I have to say Jeevan.

Enough of your explanation.

My time is quite valuable.

So if you want me to pay attention then get me something valuable.

You may leave now.

Excuse me.

A coffee and a cigarette please.

A psycho killer wreaks havoc in Dindugal.

Creates chaos among the locals there.

Who is this mystery man? Even after 3 months,

still poses a threat and challenge to the police department?

Does this serial killer have a threshold point?

When will the killing stop. More on that after a small break.

Sir...

here you go.

So, what happened at the publisher's office?

Tell me. What happened?

It seems that I am outdated.

All my novels are...

unsold, says the publisher.

But ok, no problem. Nothing to worry.

I'll take care of it.

No Jeeva!

It is a problem.

It won't workout.

It's been a week past the deadline of two years you requested for.

I can't be patient anymore.

Over that, there is too much pressure from my family.

They want to know when we are planning to have a child.

Don't you think I too want it?

We must start a proper family life soon.

And for that, you must be in a good job Jeeva.

Forget all this art, writing and creativity...

and start looking for a job that suits your qualification. Please!

We can't run a family with my income alone Jeeva.

Start being responsible.

Stop blaming others and...

I suggest you better find a suitable job.

Do you understand?

Jeeva, I am talking to you!

Jeeva.

Jeeva?

A snake’s eyes aren't very good...

but they can detect movement.

So if the hatchling keeps its nerve...

it may just avoid detection.

2 packs of cigarettes please.

So, everything is packed up.

Come on, cut me some slack.

Didn't you hear me? Can't you see it's closing hours.

Will you pay the fine if the cops turn up?

You guys! Now leave!

Damn it! They don't get a better time to show up!

Brother....

can I borrow a cigarette?

I'll pay up.

Dear!

Come here.

Looking for cigarette?

Do you have?

Please don't smoke.

Smoking is injurious.

Smoke and you shall...

Got it?

I am only drinking.

You want drink?

No? Ok!

Head to the beach.

You will find an oldie selling buttermilk there.

He will be having. Go buy it from him.

45 - 90 ml.... Whoa!

I gave him a crystal clear solution...

and not even a thank you!

Manners-less boy!

The buttermilk vendor?

Go further, you’ll find him.

Brother...

can I borrow a cigarette?

Whoa! I am not used to this.

Give me a cigarette.

This is same like how you began with cigarettes.

You weren't used to it either.

Try it out and it'll be a bliss!

Come on bro!

Only if you smoke it you'll know.

Psycho killer!

An anti-hero story...

This writing! Writing!

Get me something valuable.

Art...forget all these!

Leave now. Get me an anti-hero story.

A job that suits your qualification!

It seems that I am outdated.

Look for a job.

Look for a job.

Good morning.

You better leave!

I am furious with you!

Come on! What is my fault?

What is your fault?

Now that you are up, here you go.

Have this coffee.

Fine. I'm sorry.

It was indeed my fault.

Don't you understand my situation very well?

I expected at least you to support me.

You too hurt my feelings.

Anyways...

I too shouldn't have reacted like that.

If you are willing to forgive me...

then here, have this world- famous coffee that I've made.

I would have rather kept arguing with you instead.

Well, I am not surprised.

Ok.

I've got something important to tell.

So until I'm done talking just drink your coffee and do not interrupt me.

You have waited 2 years...

so please extend it a bit and allow me 2 more months' time.

Everything will be back to normal.

I am hooked on to an exciting thriller subject.

The only emotion that is always in trend...

fear!

That's what my story is all about.

I will meet the publisher today, explain him the concept and get an approval.

If I don't succeed...

then as you said...

the 62nd day...

I'll be in a job of your liking.

Sounds good?

You sound very confident after so long.

Anyway...

All the best.

Thank you.

The two months' extension that you asked for starts right from this second.

Keep that in mind.

Definitely!

Yes Jeevan?

So, any breakthrough on how to sell your novels?

Nope but I am here with an idea to make your time valuable.

Didn't you ask for an anti-hero subject?

I've portrayed a full-fledged villain as a hero.

A story about an individual who envisions murder as an art instead of crime.

I'm going to show how he views this world.

The concept sounds fresh.

I suggest you get started with it.

Thank you sir.

I'm planning on leaving to Meghamalai tomorrow morning.

I'm going there to finish my story.

Alone?

I'm taking Romeo and Juliet with me.

Where are you going to stay?

At Kathir's guest house.

That's where I'll have some privacy.

You take decisions at your own will.

Fine!

Come back soon.

Or else I'll come over there.

One more condition.

Make sure you attend my calls.

Would that be all or do you have anymore conditions?

Nothing more.

Leave. Take a hike!

So about this story of yours...

What's the title?
