Kaaduvetty (காடுவெட்டி)

In ancient times, forests were home to the first humans.

This made Kurinji and Mullai the first habitable lands.

Even though the settled people on the banks of the rivers took to agriculture,

the mountains and forests remained a bastion in their lives.

During the reign of kings, they cleared the forests to train warriors,

dividing the land equally between farming and training grounds.

After the battles ended, those lands became houses and villages,

and those villages were named Kaaduvetti.

Villages with the name "Kaaduvetti" are more common in the central region.

This story is told as a fictional love story

set in a village called Kaaduvetti in the central region.

This film does not contain any scenes that are intended to offend

any individual, caste, religion, community, or political party.

The producer assures that this story

and the characters in it are purely fictional.

Hello, everyone. On behalf of Agni Kural YouTube channel,

I wish everyone a very happy Valentine's Day.

Everyone has their own unique perspective on love.

Let's find out from the public.

Bro, what's your opinion on love?

- What's your take on love, mate? - True love or illicit affair?

- Of course about true love. - Hold on.

Buddy, this whole world is surviving on love.

- Nothing exists without love. See you! - Nothing exists. Super!

- Hello, poet. - Yes!

What's your perspective on love?

Love...

...a morsel that satiate the starving.

An umbrella that forgets about the rain even when it's raining heavily.

- Super, poet. - Thank you!

What are you doing?

- Hmm. - Hi, madam.

- Huh?! - How do you feel about love?

It's as pure as a mother's milk.

- Well said. Thank you! - Thank you!

Thanks, ma'am.

Grandpa...

Grandpa?

Come with me.

Careful.

You've satisfied my hunger, dear.

There are so many out there like me.

Who'll satisfy their hunger?

Iniya, why place a big fridge on the street instead of keeping it indoors?

This isn't your regular refrigerator.

This is called " Ayyamittu Unn ".

What is that?

We cook a variety of meals every day at home and eat them.

We put the leftovers in the fridge.

And forget about it.

We take it out after a couple of days only to find it spoiled and then discard it.

Nineteen lakh tons of food are thrown away daily in India.

Out of the 135 crore people living in this country, 40 crore people starve every day.

If you have any leftovers or food you don't plan to eat,

please leave them in this fridge instead of wasting them.

Those who are hungry and in need, will take food from this fridge.

Great idea, Iniya!

Is this only for food?

We have many unused items at home.

Many people out there can't afford to purchase them.

You can leave old clothes, cookware, and even slippers.

- Super idea, Iniya! - Thank you!

I believe this initiative, "Ayyamittu Unn", started by my daughter,

will provide nourishment to the hungry,

much like Manimegalai's divine vessel of inexhaustible food.

I kindly request all of you to offer your full support.

Thank you so much!

You misunderstood me.

I clicked a picture of him to create social awareness.

But you slapped me in a fit of rage.

Oh, I'm sorry!

Hey, where are you taking it? Stop!

The leftover food from my house.

Take this.

You said it was excess, but the cooker is full.

My mom always cooks in two cookers.

One for the family

and the other for the society.

You!

- Sister. - Hmm. What is it?

Do you have a birthday cake?

- Why? - It's my birthday today, sister.

- Your birthday, is it? - Yes.

Happy birthday!

So, what's your problem?

Why do you keep coming back with something?

I love to do social service.

No. That's not what your looks say.

It's not what you think.

What? Do you love me?

Oh, my!

- Take this kumkum . - I don't pray to God.

It suits you. Let's go.

Brother...

Brother!

Hey!

Thanks a lot, brother.

- Yes, Daddy. - Where are you?

I'm out with my friends.

I know who you are with.

I want you home in half an hour. If not, you're no longer my son!

Daddy...

Damn it.

Gotcha!

She really got scared, Dad.

- Dad! - Did we really scare you, Iniya?

Really?

Love isn't a sin, an error, or a cruel act to provoke anger.

Love is affection.

Love is caring for someone.

It's about living together without indifference.

Love is a wish for every living being.

A necessity.

And a right.

Every parent should know what their child wishes for.

See if it is positive. And if so, fulfill it and give it to the children.

That's good parenting and it earns respect.

- Am I right? - Absolutely.

If we don't act, they'll disregard us as parents,

marry independently, and turn to the police for support.

Just as you are firm in your love,

we need confirmation that both of you truly wish to marry each other.

This is not a doubt.

It's a sweet confirmation.

Oh my! Instead of yapping like soap operas,

take out the rings and let them exchange!

Bring it, Shakthi.

Give it.

Come here, Son-in-law.

Come closer, everyone. It's time to bless them.

People say love is affection, care, trust,

novelty, revolution, and whatnot.

But you can't buy anything with it.

Curious about why I'm talking like this?

Do you want to know how this love won?

The only reason for its victory without any expectation is...

Both families are well-educated and financially prosperous.

So they chose their happiness.

Let's travel 200 kilometers from here

to a small village which is neither educated nor financially stable.

And assume they fall in love here. Let's see what happens then.

Stop here, brother.

Twenty rupees.

Here, brother.

- Who are you? - We have an appointment.

We're here to discuss something important.

Sir?
