Maryan (மரியான்)

Sudan, Africa.

A strange country...

Unfamiliar language... Unfamiliar people...

Having been a fisherman all my life, it wasn't easy to learn a new job.

I found a good friend, Saami.

He reminded me of my best friend Sakkarai.

Much to my dislike of this job, I was forced to work hard.

What a curse! I took the fishes away from the ocean...

...now life has dumped me in this desert.

You're always talking about your fisher folk life.

What is so great about it?

Pani.

Is that all! It's misty in my town too.

This is something else. You won't get it.

One thing I enjoy hanging out with you, is a drag from your cigar.

It's my native specialty.

Talking to Panimalar once a week was my only comfort.

That made me very happy... and... I slept well...

Slowly I got used the place and its people.

After all we are human.

Two years somehow went by.

Now I am going back home.

going to see my Panimalar...

going to dive back into my ocean...

- Maryan! - Pani.

How are you?

You?

Now only I feel good.

Just one more week to go, Maryan!

My last two years has been the slowest...

...Iooks like the coming days will be even more slower.

I feel this too.

I'm coming Pani!

...back to our ocean,

...back to our moments.

and you in my arms.

First thing, I want to have your delicious pepper rice.

Sure.

Did you get my last letter? - Yes, and... also...

...got your 53rd letter and... got that also!

Hey, don't send me any more...

...rest in person.

Thommai has announced to every person in the village about our wedding.

The only thing left is to stitch your suit.

Tell Thommai my size has changed in the last two years.

Let's get it when I am back.

I hope you are in a huggable size.

I am running out of change.

I need to get back to work.

Shall I go?

Shall I?

Listen Maryan, come back safely!

Ok, See you.

- What is he saying? - He thinks this is Dubai.

Hey! This is not Dubai! This is Africa!

We have rubbed our ass for two years.

He has just arrived. He will know as the days go by.

Hey Baldie, Play some Tamil songs!

Hey Chacha, Play Hindi songs!

You guys copy Tamil movies in Hindi and make flops.

Why do you want to listen to flop songs?

#Is there are heart branching out of the iron?#

#ls love calling on me for the first time?#

I see you Tamils in Dharavi.

I see you in Africa. You Tamils are all over.

Shut up! You good for nothing! Tamils are everywhere!

Sridevi is from Chennai. Hema Malini is from Chennai,

Silk Smitha is from Chennai Our own A.R. Rahman is from Chennai

So is Sachin Tendulkar.

Sorry! Slip of my tongue.

Maryan, Isn't our Chennai a foreign city?!

...... Life has gotten numb.

Your life is set, you are getting married.

You have been happily romancing your girl's photo for the past 2 years.

I have four babes to choose from but not even one is getting hooked!

You're choosing isn't enough!

It has to come from the other side too.

My name is Maryan.

Maryan means 'The man who never dies'.

As my name suggests... I was of arrogance and full of pride.

Instead of salty air, I got dust storm.

Instead of fried fish, I got tasteless meal.

All my arrogance got knocked off.

There I was the king... King of the ocean.

By catching the Tiger shark Maryan has brought pride to Neerodi.

What his late father could not, he has achieved.

You are 'The King of the ocean'.

#We don't rest Not a single day have we rested#

#Our mother ocean has not stopped giving us#

#We don't rest Not a single day have we rested#

#Our mother ocean has not stopped giving us#

#We don't rest Our fishing nets never returned empty.#

#And 'Sonapareeya' kills me with her smile.#

#Oh! Golden angel, Sonapareeya!#

#My Sonapareeya! Will you come along with me?#

#We don't rest Not a single day have we rested#

#Our mother ocean has not stopped giving us#

#We don't rest Our fishing nets never returned empty.#

#And 'Sonapareeya' kills me with her smile.#

#How long will I live single like a catamaran, Sonapareeya?#

#All catamarans have reached their shores, when will you?#

#There is no one like him, Sonapareeya#

#This man's skills can never be matched!#

#You stay rooted in my heart but why are you stuck like a fish bone?#

#Why do you make me plead, Sonapareeya!#

Hey Maryan, looks like you have taken all the catch?

So what's your problem?

Keep moving.

He is the only guy who is yet to come under my control.

#Ships in your eyes, Hiccup in your heart?#

#Money in your hand, Tease in your walk.#

#Pearl in the oyster, Ship full of fishes.#

#The kisses of my sweetheart, Is all mine, all mine...#

#lt stuck... stuck... ah! ah! Mathi fish stuck!#

#Hiccup in my heart, Given by my sweet heart.#

#We don't rest Not a single day have we rested#

#Our mother ocean has not stopped giving us#

#We don't rest Our fishing nets never returned empty#

#And Sonapareeya kills me with her smile.#

Bro, we had a great catch, Come on to the boat.

Come on to the boat.

Hey Maryan!

You are the one in Neerodi who still continues the tradition of spear hunting

He holds his breath for this big catch. And we've been lazily lying on the boat

- I am hungry. Give me the food. - Bro. Eat this.

What he gives is just food.

But this has love and care mixed in it.

Maryan cannot be toppled by your tricks.

He keeps chanting your name whenever he meets Panimalar.

Now he comes here and blabbers about love and care.

Look! Mariyaan never stops doing what he likes.

But never ever does what he dislikes.

Like super star Sivaji with 'Smiling queen'.

She is the best pair for our Maryan

- Shall I say something? - What are you going to say?

Fine, say it.

When you don't seek, you don't get.

But when you seek, you will definitely get it.

I say a statement and you come with yours.

- I will kick your butt. - I will kick you right there!

It has never happened. It never will.

I have promised her to bring him to the church,

...if not she will finish me.

If you interfere she will finish you too.

If he comes to know this, he will kill you right away.

- What's that? - Nothing, it's his usual blabbering.

#A confluence, this is a confluence of love.#

#Happiness, ours is a church of happiness.#

#A confluence, this is a confluence of love.#

#When your eyes open, you see the vision,#

#When your heart opens, you become one#

#In love we seek, in grace we drench#

#ln sharing we stand and in giving we make joy.#

Why do you keep pulling me to church?

What is this sudden feeling for God?

Want to wash away my sins.

My only sin is being your friend!

Where is Kuttiyandi?

I asked you! Where is Kuttiyandi?

He must be drunk and lying somewhere.

Is it so?

Only we can correct him.

Sakkarai! See who has come to church?

Ask him.

I know you came to see me.

Good imagination!

He only pulled me in.

Then why did you keep staring at me?

What? I was staring at the girls around you.

If you really had stared at them,

I would've finished you then and there.

Why hit him? You talk to me.

When you don't seek, you don't get.

But when you seek, you will definitely get it.

Why don't you speak your mind?

Don't play this hide and seek with me.

Now go home like a good girl.

Let me see how long you wear this mask.

I have seen it in your eyes.

Is it so?

Come what may... you are mine.

See you.

Bro, looks like she will trap you!

How could she do that? It can't happen.

Nobody can trap you. You are Maryan!

Looks like you are ready for toddy shop?

Just like that...

Even people going to work are not so punctual.

Even if I want to go to work,

Maryan says he will give me a share as rent for my boat.

So... Seeli's son is the problem.

Seeli says that I am the problem.

You say the other way.

He is a problem to all of us.

What?

Nothing.

Who can match my Pani's tasty fish curry?

It instantly kindles the taste buds!

Enough of your sweet talk!

Hi Panimalar, lts been long!
