Navarasa (நவரசா)

ENEMY

A man can become God

A man can become God

A human being can become God

When he gives unconditionally He can rightfully become a king

Like the many uses of a banana tree He can be a martyr to our society

Like the candle that melts selflessly He can spread light endlessly

A man can become God…

Ten crows were perched on a tree.

A hunter shot one crow and it died.

-How many crows are left on that tree? -Nine crows.

Only one crow. The rest would have flown away, right?

There will be two crows.

How is that?

One is lying dead. Next to it will be one crow, right?

That's the best friend!

Teacher, can I also tell a riddle?

Tell me.

"He will ask me to play with him."

"If I say I have work to do, he will ignore my excuse."

"He will play with children younger than him."

"He will suddenly vanish into thin air."

Who is he?

I don't know. Do any of you know?

-Who? -Lord Krishna.

That's true, right?

You are such a sweetie pie.

What has upset you?

It's been going on for six to seven months.

That man doesn't even make an effort.

How much should I suffer? I work in so many houses.

At least if this poor girl would study on her own, I wouldn't mind.

She is dependent on you, teacher.

Please tell sir to deduct your tuition fees from my salary.

Okay. Go inside, I'll make coffee for you.

Come here, Ponni.

This is your parents' problem.

You shouldn't let it affect your studies, okay?

He isn't able to understand this math problem at all.

Teach him.

Why are you burdening your children with your worries?

What's happened now?

You're short on cash this month, too, is that it?

So what?

Keep my husband out of this.

As if your sir shows me accounts for all his expenditure.

This is between you and me, okay?

Hang the clothes out to dry.

Tell me, dear.

It seems Seema's uncle owns a wedding hall in Madipakkam, Ma.

He is offering a discount of 50%.

Her parents are coming over to convince Dad and you to take it.

-Hmm. -What do you mean, "Hmm," Ma?

We planned to have the wedding in the Mylapore temple

and reception at Hotel Savera, right?

Ma, I don't want this change of venue.

Please don't go with their idea.

Ma?

What happened?

Okay.

Seema is petrified of her parents.

I don't want to fuss like grooms normally do.

That's why.

And I'm the sacrificial lamb here?

Not you, Ma.

Dad. Ask him to convince them.

It would be a cakewalk for him to sort it out.

Then… they are planning to come tomorrow or the day after.

Hello?

Dheena.

Hey!

Change your shirt before someone sees you.

Do you have a spare shirt?

Hurry up.

Why did you both come here? You are of no use here.

Make sure they get off at the next stop.

Why are you telling me? As if she'll listen to me.

If he's caught, can you get him out on bail?

It's first-degree murder.

To get him out on bail is impossible. Death by hanging is his only verdict.

You went to talk to him. Why did you kill him?

I told him not to go.

Why?

Why did you kill him?

Why this bottled-up anger?

Will your dead brother

come back to life?

What will I tell his parents?

That man's wife

didn't yell or cry.

She didn't even stop me.

She looked at me like she had seen a ghost.

Will she remember your face?

She saw my face,

but I don't know if she saw "me."

Ma.

What's happened to you?

You know something,

but I know you won't say it.

You saw him, right?

Why are you silent?

Why, Ma?

You could say something.

Anything.

You are still angry with Dad.

He is dead, Ma.

You could forgive him now, at least.

Varun.

Dheena?

Won't you talk to me?

God help me.

Like the many uses of a banana tree He can be a martyr to our society

Do you intend on being silent forever?

Grandma.

How much longer will you hide here?

You won't talk?

I don't like talking to you, sir.

I feel like talking to you. Talk to me.

Talk, man.

A man can…

become God

Lord Muruga.

Sir, can't you keep quiet for a while?

How long will you be here?

Sir, it doesn't concern you.

Didn't I make it clear I don't want to talk to you?

A man…

Like the many uses of a banana tree…

You keep asking, sir. I won't answer any of your questions.

These are the times you hate to be questioned and the person doing it.

Aren't you thinking of leaving this place right away?

You can't do that either.

A man can become God

Why this anger?

Why this unreasonable anger?

Tell me.

Why such intense rage?

I have just killed a man, sir.

I killed him in a single blow.

If you'd done the same, would you be talking cheerfully?

You don't look like a murderer to me.

Why did you do it?

He made me do it.

He was destined to die by my hands.

Did he have a choice?

It's been three weeks since my brother passed away.

He is the sole cause.

All because of a government loan.

My brother lavishly bribed whoever the man told him to.
