Kuiko (குய்கோ)

- How much is that? - ₹30.

Hey, give me half a pack of cigarettes.

- What? - Give me half a pack of cigarettes, dude.

My brother told me not to give you a single cigarette

until you've cleared your dues.

Oh! Are you sure you'll get the money

that is due if you don't give me a cigarette now?

Idiots of India!

- Why would you bring up India, brother? - Hey, don't block the way.

- So patriotic! - Convince yourself

that smoking is injurious to health and leave. Get out of the way.

Don't put this in CIBIL

- and embarrass me, man. - Step aside, man!

Sorry, boss!

Go away! No one in Chengam village will give you even a stub!

Puffing ciggies? You've been caught red-handed, guys!

Dude, that math teacher is coming!

- Hey, this is C square. - No, it's A square. I know this well.

Look properly, it's C square.

What's up? Why are you all sitting like reading Buddhas?

We're just discussing and clearing a doubt, sir.

- Yes, sir. - Wow.

A doubt! So, you are enlightened enough to discuss and clear it?

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

Hey-- do you smell something?

Yeah, I smell something, as well!

- It's cigarette smell. - Yeah, that's right.

Oh, you're someone who identifies a cigarette's brand based on its smell?

Sir!

Sir, some crook smoked a cigarette and blew the smoke upward.

- Look at the smoke! - Hey!

I saw you smoking while I was coming.

Why are you looking up as if you fired a rocket?

- You-- - Sir--

- Sir, we have only one cigarette. - So what?

Let's share it among ourselves, sir.

- Sir, everyone will get a couple of puffs. - Yes, sir.

That seems right.

- But here's the deal. - Tell us, sir!

You should call me whenever you smoke.

- That's not a big deal, sir! - Okay, sir!

- Hey, light it! - Light it!

Look at him go!

Boys, this smoky stub that fits between two fingers has enslaved the entire world.

Have you ever thought about it?

If it fits between two fingers, it's a cigarette.

Otherwise, it's a torchlight.

I shouldn't reek of smoke when I get home. That's my only concern.

No, dude. When you inhale this smoke and--

blow it out, you feel motivated to blow all your problems away.

Hey, you! Son of a buffalo!

Are you nuts?

You are smoking with school kids!

Go downstairs and wait in my room. I'll be right there. Rascal.

You all have failed the 12th grade, right?

- Yes, sir. - Rascals!

Your parents have sent you here with so much trust,

and you're smoking and loitering around like rogues!

Sir, we are from respectable families.

Wait, aren't you Panneerselvam's son? The man who runs a bar at TASMAC?

Yes, sir.

Did you tell your dad that we demand GST for the tuition fee?

- No, sir. - The tuition fee is only ₹1200.

Your dad curses the government because you demanded ₹1416 including 18% GST.

Not at all, sir.

You can't solve a math problem even with a calculator.

How did you calculate 18% GST correctly?

You're puffing away the money you swindled from your dad!

Sir, we didn't smoke.

That man advised us to train ourselves

with a cigarette to blow away our problems.

Oh! Does he conduct motivational classes, as well?

I'll take care of him!

Get lost! No one should stand before me.

Rascals.

Hey, make sure to bring your fathers when you come to class tomorrow without fail.

- Okay, sir. - Yes, sir.

Though you've failed in all the other subjects,

I appointed you here since your uncle told me that you scored 100% in Mathematics.

But you have sullied the legacy of the teaching profession.

I may forgive you for smoking with those boys,

but I can never forgive you for philosophizing it.

Enough is enough. You can leave.

Do you hear me? Go!

Terminated from IIT? Who cares?

Thangaraj, what happened?

The rhinoceros is riled up!

It's getting late. Hurry up!

The brakes don't work.

Why do you need a brake when the road is empty?

Here, you ride it.

Let me carry it through a shortcut instead of riding it with you.

Okay, carry it.

Walk fast!

Hey! Don't go fast, man!

- Hey! - Hey! Don't go fast!

- There's a tree ahead! Watch out! - Hey!

Hey!

- Who are they? - Oh, no!

Why are you in a hurry, boys?

We are here to take Malaiyarasi home.

Why? What's wrong with her?

Her grandma is critical.

Her mother sent us to get her home before her grandma died.

Teacher, that girl has already applied for leave for the same reason twice.

Now, these boys have come to take her.

Inquire about it, madam.

Our math teacher Valarmathi was her classmate once.

Ms. Valarmathi, please come here.

Yes, ma'am.

Malaiyarasi was your classmate, right?

Yes, ma'am.

These boys claim that Malaiyarasi's grandma is critically ill.

Does she really have a grandmother?

Ma'am, we are from the same village. It'd be better if you ask her.

- Stephen, please call Malaiyarasi. - Okay, ma'am.

I remember very well, teacher.

She applied for leave twice to attend the funeral

of both her paternal and maternal grandmothers.

Madam, Malaiyarasi.

Come here, Malaiyarasi.

You've already applied for leave to attend the funerals

of your maternal and paternal grandmothers twice.

Now, these chaps have come with the same reason.

Who is the original grandmother?

This is the original one, madam.

So, who died earlier?

That was my grandfather's mistress.

His girlfriend.

What!

Oh, God! Go, get lost!

Sister! Sister!

Sister!

I can't walk. Let's ride the cycle fast.

Wait, boys. Let's pick some mangoes and go.

These are really tasty.

Hey, grandma is seriously ill.

Your mom wanted us to bring you home soon

as she has to inform your uncle.

Hey, that old woman has been creating such scenes for years.

She won't leave soon.

She will leave only after giving farewell to every old soul in the village.

Come on, boys. Let's pick some mangoes and go.

Let's go.

Why are you washing clothes at this hour, sister?

My daughter-in-law's clothes. She's going to work.

Carry on. At least your house is peaceful.

We received so many good proposals.

It's our bad luck! We had no idea how notorious your family was!

Hey, oldie! The son you brought up can't take care of his own family!

Are you talking about my father and mother?

Say one more thing, and I swear you will face the consequences!

Did I come here to cook and clean up after you and your son?

- What a torture! - Let the lord come.

A special encounter awaits him.

What will you do?

Why did you change the channel, you fool?

What have I got out of having and raising you?

This TV is my only comfort.

- You have come to ruin it, as well! - Ma, only the highlights.

You and your highlights!

How dare you change the channel?!

Ma!

You didn't let me watch the match yesterday!

Now, you won't let me watch the highlights either!

Go and watch your nonsense.

What's up? You seem to get special felicitations!

The slogans echo everywhere.

Do they shower you with flowers and worship you?

Unbelievable!

Hey, did you watch the highlights of the IPL match?

Highlights?

Yesterday, on my way from the office,

I stopped at Satya Agency and watched the whole match live.

You're so proud that you watched it at a store's entrance!

These morons will never allow us to watch it, dude.

Can we ever get a chance to watch an IPL match?

Why not? Tomorrow there's a match in Chennai.

If we leave in the morning, we can watch the match in the evening.

We can. But who will pay for it?

Money is not an issue, man!

Loot your uncle. Get a ₹1000 from him and leave the rest to me.

What happened to her? Wasn't she healthy?

Well, she is old.

What to do?

Hey, stop here.

Everything is gone.

Boys, our old woman really seems to have left for good this time.

That's why I told you to hurry up. But you wanted to pick mangoes!

Aren't you happy, sister? You need not go to school at least for three days.

Oh, no! She has chosen a Friday to leave.

Had it been a Monday, I would have enjoyed more holidays!

Hey! I sent the boys to bring you home before my mother's passing,

and you went to pick mangoes! You donkey!

Ma, don't hit me!

Why do you think I went to pick mangoes? It's only for Grandma!

What are you bluffing about?

Grandma was fond of mangoes, right?

If Grandma liked mangoes, you should have picked one and brought it home.

You have plundered the whole grove, you devil!
