Nivaasi (నివాసి)

I have tell you a small story before I start about Nivaasi.

Once upon a time, there was an emperor.

He had just one son.

The prince was intelligent and an expert in warfare techniques.

He was the favourite pupil of all his teachers.

The royal astrologers had fixed a Muhurat for the prince to ascend the throne.

But one day, the emperor had summoned the prince,

told him some terms and conditions, gave him a very little amount of money

and asked him to visit all the kingdoms on a horse like an ordinary person by...

...shedding his royal clothing

The emperor had sent the prince to the tour thinking that,

the prince wouldn't be worthy unless he has the knowledge of worldly wisdom,

common people's struggle and the purpose of life,

no matter how great he was.

Then, the prince started his journey and crossed many rivers, mountains,

visited many kingdoms by undergoing extreme toil

and finally retuned to his kingdom unlike a king

but like a great person who got reformed with a lifetime of experiences.

Well... You might be wondering how this story is related to the story of Nivaasi.

Watch the movie to know it.

NIVAASI

What is it, Surya?

Hmm...

Even I'm shocked about what you did.

It's been 25 years till now that you've left India.

You used to visit India very rarely citing business trip.

But now, you've suddenly arrived.

And when I was asking you the reason, you're citing it to be a personal problem.

What happened? Do you have any problem in India?

Hmm... Have the drink.

I don't have any problem in India, but it is in my home.

It is a solution but not a problem.

Emotional solution.

Uhuh... I didn't get it.

The name of that emotion is Vivaan Aditya.

It is a an emotion of 25 years(Suryanarayana Varma)

One and only one and my son... Vivaan Aditya.

What does our Aditya lack? He is like a king.

He is an emperor to be of the business empire

that was established by Suryanarayana Varma.

He's got money, intelligence, knowledge

and everything which is needed for business.

What more do you want in him, Surya?

More... I need many more things in him.

All the life that he had till now is the path of flowers that was laid by me.

He should know about the thorny path

and the pain that gets inflicted due to that.

He should know about the toil and also losses.

He should know his origins and the emotion behind that.

He should know about humans, their veils

and the life of them behind those veils.

He should know about his life.

He should get to know about him first.

Above all, he should get to meet the person inside him.

He should know about the origin of me when I was 25 years old.

He should know the meaning of that life.

Then, what do you think to do with him?

Think? I've already did it.

I just left him on the road.

That's it!

Hi bro.

I want a lift.

I can understand by looking at you that I need not ask.

I too got bored driving alone.

You need a life and I need a company.

Tell me bro.

You seem to be rich but you are roaming carefreely on the road with a bag.

What's the matter?

Even God would face troubles if his time runs bad.

-Wow! -And I'm a mere human!

Super, bro. I'm having hard time and you've compared me to God!

It's very interesting.

There is a lot of stuff in you. Tell me more.

I can't tell you more. But I will put it in a simple. Listen carefully.

I'm a foreign-returned guy. I used to have luxurious life by moving in AC cars.

I'm having a bad time right and thus, I'm in front of you like this.

But still, I'm pretty much alright.

-Is it? -I'm very happy.

So, I'm fine.

Hmm...

Royal Enfield...

It seemed that I have understood but actually, I didn't.

Tell it a little more detailedly, bro.

I will give you lift as much distance as you wish.

-Whoa! I want this bike but not lift. -Er... I just asked casually.

You can narrate it or just take it easy. But why do you take it seriously?

Hey, cool... Cool... Cool, bro.

I need this bike.

I want to buy this.

How much does this cost?

I will break your limbs if you come home with no money.

40... 60... 75... plus additional 25...

It costs a total of 2 lakh rupees.

Hmm... What's the on-road price?

Seems like I won't be getting my commission of 25K.

Well... It is one lakh seventy five thousand rupees.

Hmm... Alright.

Umm... Here.

Whoa! Hmph!

I think this is the meaning of on-road price.

50K... 1 lakh... 75K...

You should have paid me the price that I've quoted initially.

Give me my money if you didn't like this deal.

Er... No... Take the bike.

-Hmm... -Bro, this is lucky bike.

Okay Thank you. Bye, bro.

Yeah... Bye...

Who would give me lift now?

Bro, do you need lift?

-Yes, I do, bro. -Okay. Hop back.

Thank you, bro.

Your good name, bro?

My name is Bangaram.

You mean Gold?

-Yes -Oh nice!

Generally, all the girls in India are mad about Gold...

-Okay. -...more than their husbands.

That's why my mother named me Bangaram.

Oh nice! That's really nice.

Well... Why did you come here?

My dad has sent me.

What's there here? The entire village is empty.

My dad called me a couple of days ago.

He said, "Hey Vivaan, you go outing regularly, right?"

"Next time, go to the place that I suggest."

"Will you go?"

I answered, "Sure. Which place should I go?"

And that's it, I'm in India within a couple of days.

Oh!

I came here for the first time, bro.

-There is a place called Perambur, right? -Hmm...

I have to go there, bro.

You know one thing, bro.

My dad never touches my things.

But he was the one who packed my bag and handed it to me.

The beauty in this is...

He gave me 5000 dollars with certain conditions. How is it fair, bro?

The way how his conditions would be are...

He asked me to meet strangers in my journey

but I shouldn't tell them about my property.

I shouldn't take even a single penny from them

no matter how much I need it.

I shouldn't use mobile phone at all.

I have to go to the place which I'm going now, by asking address from others.

-Is it? -Yes.

Bro, I'm starving. Let's take a break at some place.

Bro, no hotels no motels. How can I?

Why not? There would be some village around here.

Stop over there.

Okay. Right.

Bro... There is a hotel... Hotel... Hotel...

Chill man!

VEERA VENKATA SATYANARAYANA RAM DURGA PRASAD DHABA AND RESTAURANT

Hey, what's this bro?

This is a five star hotel.

It's non-AC inside and AC outside. Come.

Oh God!

Sit.

Why is it so dirty?

He has more doubts than my wife.
