Vaanavarayan Vallavarayan

Give me 2 tickets for Eripatti

Got your ticket?

Hiding half the bus!

Give me a ticket to Anupparpalayam

One ticket to Marampudungi Goundenpudur

I didn't get the name

That's a sure tongue twister!

Tickets for Marampudungi Goundenpudur

How many?

4 including mother-in-law, wife and sister-in-law

Get down, we've reached Marampudungi Goundenpudur

'To Marampudungi Goundenpudur'

'We welcome one and all to this 1st time historic festival'

'Hello, Marappa Gounder is bringing lots of gifts'

'Trumpeters and drummers come here immediately'

'Folks dispersed here and there, are humbly requested...'

'...to gather closer to the festival venue'

Hello, brother-in-law Surprise visit?!

I had a small job to do in Dharapuram

Thought on the way I can drop by here

Okay, stay at home I'll be right back

That's okay

Whole town looks so festive

Is it a function for our Goddess?

It's even more special than that

Our town's eldest Gounder's function

Ear piercing function for his children!

That's all...?

Don't treat it so casually

It's the function of the owner of VV Mills in Pollachi

All the big shots from Coimbatore district are there

Let's go eat

Ensure fans of actors Ajith and Vijay with their digital banners don't clash

Who is over there?

We welcome our honorable minister Nagamam K. Ku. Ramaswamy

You take over

Move aside

Don't stand in the way

Lion from Coimbatore district Long live...long live!

Gounder, minister has arrived

Our Minister looks like film actor MGR

White as snow

Don't cast your evil eye!

Whom are you comparing him to?!

Those who are giving gifts, stand to the left

Those who want to eat, go right

Minister Mr K. Ku. Ramaswamy will now bless the children

Tamil poet Thiruvalluvar has expressed so beautifully...

...about this function in his famous couplets

When ears are pierced...

When ears are pierced stomach is also indulged!

Same lines have been expressed in English too

Where's the note?

Somewhere here-

Why come here to be so useless?!

The same has been expressed in English as well

Who are Gounder's children?

Look over here You can see them

The one sitting on the left is Gounder's older son Vaanavarayan

The one sitting on the right is his younger son Vallavarayan

Vaanavarayan and Vallavarayan are so united like hand and glove

Like Lord Rama and his brother Lakshmana

Like Warner Bros Thirrupathi Brothers

Like Gemini brothers in briefs, they won't be apart for a minute

But if they're together for 10 minutes...

...like actor MGR and villain Nambiar

...political parties BJP and Congress

...India and Pakistan they'll tear each other apart!

Are they piercing your ears, dear boy?

Naughtiness!

They are piercing my ears too

What, my dear?

I'm like your aunt, sonny!

I thought the ear-piercing was for his children

But these 2 are fully grown adults!

It's a big story

Listen, I have to travel up to Dharapuram

It's getting late Make it quick

For the older son Vaanavarayan...

...do you know Aanamalai Gounder's daughter

Aanamalai Gounder's daughter?

He's interested in her

"Rose...so pure and petite whispers your name sweet"

"Rose...so pure and petite whispers your name sweet"

For the already stolen heart you're wishing to white-wash it!

But your wish won't be fulfilled

Why?

My aunt's son who lives abroad loves me heart and soul

My marriage has been fixed with Gautham Rasudev

So what?

At least let me love you till you get married

A flower blooms only once!

I'm the unlucky one

But can I see your lucky fiance?

Valu, forgive me

Why did he jump into the well?

If not this girl, I'm sure he can find another one

She was the 30th!

Okay, but how is that love and this ear piercing affair linked?

According to their astrologer only after their ears are pierced...

...love and marriage will get fixed for them

I won't wait

Wait, dear Just 1 second

I won't stop even for a second

If I stop, you will resort to violence

Hey stop...stop! What's this...?

Running around like a small kid!

I am only a kid, Meenakshi

Ranganayaki's husband Hold on to him

You're dragging me like a bull to the playground!

Take off your glasses and talk

What happened to my child?

Who is this?

She's the boys' grandmother

During the British days, she was quite a beauty

Earl's duty was in our city

Those 2 frolicked in a fun time party

Then?

When the British were leaving our country...

...this is what she asked the Earl

'You gave India freedom What will you give me?'

But being the ladies' man sorry, I mean, a gentleman...

...he didn't give her a wedding ring

But he gave her a pair of coolers which she treasures

So, grandma looks at life through those glasses

When did you drape another sari?

In the gap when the flashback of your mother was being narrated

You pulled a fast one!

Auspicious time is nearing, come along

However old the boys maybe, it's a privilege...

...to sit on the uncle's lap and have their ears pierced

Be gentle, make sure it doesn't hurt the boys

It will be just like an ant bite, dear

It is hurting me

Where are you running off to?

Why drag me when only our sons' ears are being pierced?

How can you be so naive?

Didn't I take a vow, the day our sons' ears are pierced...

...your tongue will be pierced too?

Goldsmith, pull his tongue out and fulfill my vow please

Your father won't speak a word for the next 10 days!

"Breeze from 'Kongunadu' true will carry scent of maidens too"

"If girls from Chera kingdom seen flowers with moustache will preen"

"Lord Muruga on Marudamalai will be mesmerized magically"

"Drinking the waters of Siruvani pure Tamil will flow poetically"

"Chera's soil thrives with cheer hearts of those who tread here"

"This is a haven of heaven with many beautiful women"

"Breeze from 'Kongunadu' true will carry scent of maidens too"

"If girls from Chera kingdom seen flowers with moustache will preen"

"Verdant fields lush green Koels singing 'do re me' seen"

"Gilded rays of sunshine collide on the Western Ghats to slide"

"On the lap of mountains lofty we sprawl to roll carefree"

"In Marampudungi Goundenpudur reside a happy-go-lucky pair"

"Like Tom and Jerry rival these 2 brothers quarrel"

"But they are renowned for their sibling bond"

"They have rewritten history Dude, listen to their story"

Devadas, why didn't you come to school today?

Teacher taught us addition and subtraction today

No Parvathi, hereafter I won't come to school

If you don't come to school...

...they'll enjoy the jackfruit and throw me away like its seed

My father is sending me abroad for higher studies

See you Bye, Parvati

Oh Devadas!

I am coming

I am also coming

Hey stop!

What I said is correct

Trust me I saw them

I swear on her Rapunzel plait!

Has Jil-Jil Rani gone?

The whole town is flustered

You're bothered about Jil-Jil Rani!

And you're supposed to be respected!

- Why are you somersaulting? - Valu, someone's behind you

Who are you?

- Believe me, I saw them - These boys are troublesome

Hey stop...stop it What's your problem?

He talks back snappily to me all the time

What's the problem now?

You tell me as our village head

Does Parvati sleep with Devadas or Kalidas?

You brainless fools! Did you fight over this?

Parvati is Devadas's lady love

Not a paramour

As if we don't know that!

But we are referring to your wife Parvathi!

Parvathi...!

Get lost, you dumbo-bimbo

Bro Kalidas, are you also here?

If everyone is gathered here won't you be having fun there?

You traitor! You laid your hands on my wife?

Your wife is the one not letting me sleep!

They are fighting with Kalidas bro

Boys...come and save him

"Chera's soil thrives with cheer hearts of those who tread here"

"This is a haven of heaven with many beautiful women"

Ask your sons to go out of their hometown and earn

Only then they'll know the reality of life

If they keep slitting throats...
