Dammit!
How many times should I tell you to lock the door while you bathe, Saroja?
Yeah, right!
What if the door's locked and I slip to death in there?
You're waiting to build me a memorial in there, aren't you?
Rascal brushes his teeth after bathing and I'm supposed to take his advice.
This woman...!
Oh! There you are... - Finally!
It's your turn. - O' Lord Vittala!
Twirl the shells.
Ahh! There you go!
Goddammit!
You have no shame farting in front of everyone!
Ghastly woman! - Begum, tell me this.
Doesn't one have freedom to fart in this country?
You'll realise my value only after I die!
Then die!
Tell me this.. your house is filled with kids who walk around wreaking havoc.
Does anyone ever disrespect their mother like this?
Not at all!
To hell with this life!
Where are you? - Saar.. I'll be there by 11.
Don't I have a job to go to? You were supposed to be here at 8.
Saar.. The thing is my mother was a bit unwell.
If you come at 11, my mother will go bonkers!
I'll be there soon. - Just get here.
Ugh!
She cooks whatever she wants and plops down with Boobamma.
I'm fed up of eating this cold food.
The food's apparently too cold for him.
Cheeky rat!
Only the one who cooks knows the trouble.
Don't lose your cool.
The almond will get stuck in your throat and the shells won't twirl.
Hear this out!
Sire has decided sell the house and wants me to crash in Mumbai.
Isn't that pissing off?
What's wrong in abandoning this ruined house,
...rotten life and maddening city for a better life?
Every brick in this house has your father's name etched on it.
You've just learned to talk.
Yet he thinks he can rap monologues.
And you... Make sure you wear the green underwear today!
It'll prove lucky for you.
Shucks!
A pair! Shall I pair them and defeat your pawn?
Boobamma!
You showed me your true colours!
'A single pawn's a wastrel'
Both the pawn and my sons hate me!
RATHNAKARA: It's always about her!
Good Lord!
It's my bloody wish whether I wear a colour underwear or a monochrome one!
Why the hell does she get to decide everything?!
You've turned every underwear of mine into a mopping cloth!
[SAROJA]: It's been two days since my third son went missing!
Talk to Srinath at the Press and put up a missing advertisement!
Begum...
My third son.
Woah! Masha Allah!
He looks so fair and lovely in this picture!
Rathnakara!
Please, get this photo published in the newspaper.
If your mother gets him back, she'll jump in joy!
Who's that in the picture with me?
My friend!
Take this. This is the important picture.
Touching your mother's feet before heading out will bring you good luck, you nitwit!
Don't forget a garland for dad's photo and some peppermint for me, you vermin!
Get him married soon, Saroja! His anger will go down.
Tell me... - Vidya's daughter Janaki..
...has come of age. Congratulations!
Argh! Hang up! I'll call you later.
Swear on my life that you won't hang up!
Saroja, please hang up! - You swore on me.
Stop.
Sir, my mother's on call. She's wheezing.
It's an emergency. - Name?
Rathnakara! - Rathna...
...Kara (calf)
You look like a ram and claim to be a calf.
Is that your Cow on call?
Will you talk to me or not? - Hello?
Yes?! - It's the Police.
Tell me, Mr. Police. - Your son was on call while riding.
Mr. Police, I was telling him that Vidya's daughter has come of age.
They're conducting a function.
I asked him to go with me.
He's being a pesky bugger.
Get going. - Thanks sir.
Vidya's daughter has come of age. Go to the function!
What the hell! I've become a joke to everyone.
Angry young man.
Mummy, all I did was sit on the bike and it brought me all the way here.
Do you know why?
Because the bike was your gift!
Mummy.. Here's the thing!
I feel like seeking your blessings at work.
Shall I make a video call?
What is it? - Saroja.
Who helped you create the Facebook account?
[SAROJA]: Begum's seventh.. Wait.. Eighth son!
Quit mingling with Boobamma!
Delete the account. Now! Why do you need one?
Find me my third son! I'll do it.
Saroja, please!
Hello?! I can't hear you.
Enough pretending. I know you can hear me, Saroja!
A plate of Bhel Puri. Make it spicy.
What's up Manohar? Why do you look disturbed?
It's my mother's birthday. I asked for a leave and he refused.
Apply for a sick leave.
I took one for my wife's birthday recently.
That led to a World War in my home.
I'm sick of not getting sick leaves.
Tell me who you are. - I'm Rathnakara.
Not your name. Who are YOU?
I work as a...
You are Bhel Puri.
Repeat after me. You are Bhel Puri.
You are a mix of your parents' genes, behaviour, belief, decisions,
...aspirations, the school they sent you to, the atmosphere they created.
You're what comes out when all of this crushed, grounded and kneaded together...
You are... - Bhel Puri!
There you go.
So...
Do you think our parents are responsible for everything?
My words might sound bitter. But that is the ultimate truth.
Never mind.
You got an offer to move to the Mumbai branch, right?
Well.. I'm still..
It's a 'NO' at home, isn't it?
Take my advice.
Instead of this job, start a Bhel Puri cart.
See you later?
Don't all dogs look the same, dear?
What if a different dog comes home?
She'll sniff her canine son out.
The only thing she hasn't done is a sacred thread ceremony for the dog.
How about a blow-up photo?
A half-page long advertisement. It'll look great.
Find me the cheapest option.
That leaves us with the obituary section.
Sure, sir. It doesn't matter.
Hello? Yeah.
Sorry, sir. - I'll call you back in a moment.
Seems like you were in an important discussion. But it's a bit urgent.
If I don't submit a good story before the next edition of the magazine,
...there's no way I'll get this job.
I've listed some families.
I've grouped all newspaper articles and advertisement from the 1950s into a folder.
You'll have to guide me.
Mayuri.. - Sir?
You're looking in the wrong places.
A missing-person's story is right here.
Sir, we're doing a series on uniting families together.
But reuniting a dog... That would be a first.
It's a first, for me too!
If a human being goes missing or dies, we can publish it.
If she dies, I'll definitely get it printed!
Rathna, I'll get it printed.
I have the scanned copy.
Hello?
Why are you strangling me with your calls?
I'm at the bride's house. What do I here?
Who told you to go there?
Raghu is coming here from work.
Shut your trap and get here now.
Dammit!
My mother... A lovely lady indeed!
See you around.
That man's waiting for someone to die.
A..B..C..D..E...F...
Enough, Amma!
I'm slogging here for you.
Don't you want me to work peacefully?
Raghu! Can't you look after the kid?
Aye! Can't you look after the kid?
Come to me, you brat! Why do you make your mother scold me?
This is my daughter-in-law.
She works from home.
You don't get to ask from whose home though.
Look at how beautifully she takes care of the kid. Sigh!
My son is here. Rathna.
Greet them dear.
Wait... Don't go all the way there.
Just the hands will do.
Rathnakara. - Sit down.
Sit tight now.
These are my two sons.
What about your third son? - He's missing.
What do you mean? - A dog.
My mother's third offspring. A pet dog.
My son works in an Insurance company.
Gets a handsome salary.
If you actually give it a thought...
Compared to your daughter... My son's a dashing man.
What do you have to say?
Saroja... - Shut up.
Tell me dear. What all have you learnt?
I've learnt Muay-Thai.
I didn't ask you if you could kick my son out of the house.
Do you drink, eat meat or smoke?
God forbid! Why do you ask that?
Sorry, my mother has a habit of cracking jokes once in a while.
I'm not performing stand-up here. I really mean it.
Because it's the elders' duty to know.
What if I wake up one night to find the couple boozing and dancing?
Should I also join them?
Saroja, enough.. - You keep quiet.
What do you have to say?
Why is this man plucking his hair out?
Why are you giving me the death stare, son?
Everyone... I have a test to conduct.
Let me check out that skin tone once.
No pimples out here.
Acnes are few in numbers.
Overall, an average face. - I'm so not liking this.
I approve!
The girl's not playing us.
Do you have any other tests for her?
Well, if you don't mind. I have one more
Are you freaking kidding me?
What do you think of us?
Do you think your son's a Greek god?
Go get your son.. tested.
We don't need this. Leave!
Shekhara, keep quiet. - Just leave.
RATHNAKARA: Let's go!
You don't know the agony of having a daughter.
Just leave!
Madam, come closer.
Why is your son losing his cool?
Lady, just leave right away. Move it!
No problem.
Muay-Thai... Bye-Bye!
This one's for my grandson.
I'll take your leave. See you.
Uncle and Aunty, thanks for the Wi-Fi.
Bye-Bye.
How shameless are you? Is that how you talk to someone?
She was going to be family.
Shouldn't we know her in and out?
You're not here for a bride.
You're looking for a cow that will nod to your authority.
Don't get angry, my child. - Let me go!
Come on! My son's a gorgeous hunk.
Pairing this gorgeous hunk with that girl. Well...
Dammit! Get off the bike!
But why?
Wait! You...
Abandoning your mother on the streets! What a perfect son.
You'll not learn realise my value until I die!
Don't forget to get the garland and peppermint on your way.
Did you hear me?
What a life!
With a single degree in hand, lifeâ€™s a gamble
This lad has a hole in his underwear
With peanuts for salary, and a rowdy mother
That is all there is to our Rathnaâ€™s world
Star-crossed, miserable and disastrous
Life is indeed utter chaos
All the Gods who ditched him are no more reachable
What a life!
Aye, Rathna! Wear the green underwear today!
Dammit!
What a life!
The engineâ€™s gone kaput, thanks to the heat from the bank loan
Has a PAN card and Aadhaar ready, but will someone loan money for free?
Once the moustache curls and your beard twirls, you've got to provide
Someone has the batter and someone else the bread
But my lifeâ€™s turning out to be the hot oven
Dammit!
I studied too much and ruined myself
Now life is utter chaos
All the Gods who ditched him are no more reachable
Dammit!
What a life!
HOUSE FOR SALE?
Saroja!
Madam, I'm only a real-estate broker.
Your son called me here. Why are you scolding me?
Shut your mouth!
You've got to be kidding me, you wretched vagrants!
Saroja, please behave.
If I lose my shit, I'll lock the doors and leave.
Get lost! - What?!
Want a taste of the broom?!
[MANAGER]: I'm very proud to tell you that some of our
colleagues have been selected for the Mumbai camp.
Rathna, what have you thought about it?
I'm definitely interested. I gave it a thought. But...
Just a minute, sir. I'll take this call.
Hello? Who is it?
Hey. Am I disturbing you? Sorry.
No, tell me. - Mayuri speaking.
We met in Srinath's office, remember?
Tell me.
I found out some details about your mother.
What? About my mother?
Yes. Hello?
What happened? Is she in trouble?
Can you hear me? Hello?
Hello? Can you hear me?
Answer my call, Saroja.
I called her in the morning. But she didn't answer.
I thought she must be busy.
Why do you sound tensed?
It's nothing.. I just had some work.
Why don't you call the Boobamma lady and check?
You call her, please. - Fine.
Yeah, Raghu?
Boobamma hasn't seen her all day.
Did she really leave home after all the drama?
Saroja?
Saroja?!
Hello? - Hey!
What were you saying on call, Mayuri?
You were saying something about my mother.
Sorry. I was in the Metro. I lost connection.
Where is my mother? I can't find her at home either.
What did you mean by details?
Nobody has seen her all day.
What happened? Where is she?
Mr. Rathna. Hold on.
Please, calm down.
There is some confusion here.
Who are you talking about?
We both are obviously speaking of the same person.
My mother, Saroja. - Oh, no.
What do you mean by no?
I didn't mean that I found details about Saroja.
Who else did you mean?
I'm talking about your birth mother. - WHAT?
After I met you that day, Srinath told me that you were adopted.
I did a bit of research myself and found out some things.
I've found information about your birth family.
I've found details about your birth mother.
My birth mother? What is Saroja then...
Can you hear me?
I'm assuming you know about this.
We are celebrating Mother's Day today.
It's time to welcome our extremely special guests.
With a thundering applause, welcome all the beautiful mothers out there.
Look over there!
That's my mother in the front row.
Rathnakara, didn't your mother come?
You gave me a glass of juice.
It's just one more person. Give her one too.
But madam, rules... - To hell with your rules.
We're the Chief guests for Mother's Day.
You heard it right!
How can you say no to us? - This is only for the mothers, madam.
Do you have any idea what it is like in her house?
Her kids line up in a beeline, just like bicycles parked in a stand.
How dare you deny juice to this Mother India?
Fine. Don't scold. - Just one will do.
Yuck!
Is this supposed to be juice?
Return that...
This moron has mixed sugar syrup in coloured water.
Let's go.
You did the right thing by spitting on him.
We begin the day with a special activity.
We've made a chit with the names of all the employees in the company.
I will pick out two names from them.
Those two employees will have to come on stage and do something for their mothers.
You can sing, dance or even talk about your mother.
You can do anything.
The first name is...
Gagana from the Revenue department.
Calling her as 'Amma' is a bliss, She is indeed, our Goddess.
I love you, Amma.
It's time to call out the next participant.
It's none other than our Rathnakara.
Rathnakara, they're calling you out on stage.
Go for it.
Mr. Rathna's mother Saroja Bai is right here in the crowd.
Could you please raise your hand?
Yes, Miss!
That's awesome.
We have a last bencher among the mothers.
Mr. Rathna, two minutes of your time, for your mother.
A mother is...
A mother...
Rathna will start talking now
That's my son up there.
He speaks really well.
Who's that in the picture with me?
My friend!
Who else did you mean?
I'm talking about your birth mother. - WHAT?
After I met you that day, Srinath told me that you were adopted.
Describing a mother in a couple of words is impossible.
A mother is no less than God.
She is the soul that bears and nourishes a life for nine whole months
...in her womb and forgets all her pain just to live for her child.
On this special occassion, we all need to salute that precious soul!
We wish all the mothers present here...
A very Happy Mother's Day.
ANCHOR: The next team on stage is Vivek who will perform Yakshagana...
Mr. Rathnakara, why didn't you say anything?
ANCHOR: Vivek, the stage is all yours.
I was hoping that Rathnakara would say something about you.
He has been that way, since he was a child.
A scaredy-cat.
He has a lot of love for his mother.
All that love tends to leave him with a lump in the throat.
He ends up speechless.
[STAGE]: Your mother is no one but Kunti.
The unfortunate Kunti.
Despite having a son, this woman was unable to
...nurture, guide or even enjoy your childhood.
This unfortunate woman is your mother, Kunti.
What the hell is this, Boobamma?
Is this my son's picture or a hole in the underwear?
Drat! Why would you say that?
Check out that disgusting 'Pistool and Piles' advertisement next to the photo.
Doesn't my family deserve some respect?
All my life, it is my third son who has kept me alive.
The other two are rotting in hell.
You've seen the second son, right?
He's busy being married to that 'Work from Home' alien.
Look at this arrogant snob!
I'm suffering a disastrous fate for having given birth to him!
Just shut up now!
Thousands of dogs need shelter.
Feel free to care for them.
Just like you did with me.
Please don't scream, dear!
Your mother might end up with a heart attack and suffer...
Will you just shut up?
What do you mean?
Mr. Rathna, don't you want the Peppermint today?
I don't know where it is hurting.
Shall I apply some ointment?
It is hurting everywhere. - Shall I squeeze you then?
He's here... Your son's here.
Please don't cry, Sarojamma.
Get these medicines
Start crying!
What happened? - She felt dizzy and fell down.
Who is he?
The patient's first son, my elder brother.
I feel bad for you
Take good care of Sarojamma.
She's no less than a punter.
Make sure she remains one till the end.
One second. Hold on!
My sweet mother-in-law is very critical.
Hi...
What happened? Is she okay?
I'm the only person who takes care of her.
I will not be able to work today.
So, I hope you understand.
Okay. You can take the day off.
Thank you, Srini.
Boobamma, look at how the performer performed.
Raghu?
I'm feeling terribly exhausted.
Give me another peppermint.
Yes, please. Have more.
Give it back!
What was the dire need for you to get us here from work?
She's unwell, my son.
Poor woman!
She felt dizzy and fell down like a buffalo!
You.. Silence.
Why are you being so dramatic? Speak up!
I said, bark it out loud
Bow-wow!
Dammit!
Raghu, I'll continue working.
Please don't disturb me.
Saroja? Why are you creating a scene?
I felt like seeing you. - To hell with...!
If you really fall sick, I won't be with you then!
Ya Allah!
What's wrong with you, Amma?
Wouldn't he have returned in the evening after work?
This is a secret code of Mothers.
You won't understand. - Yeah, right.
Why did you tear this photograph?
Why?!
Looks like the ember of lies that you'd safely wrapped
...in your cloth has finally begun to burn you down.
Your world of lies is finally tumbling down.
What are you saying, Rathna? I don't get it.
I'm sure it reached the one it was intended for. Let me go!
Rathna, let's sit down and sort it out. - Let me go!
Rathna?
Don't ride your bike in a fit of rage.
Ride carefully!
Amma, just shut up! Why do you do such things?
These days, he doesn't even answer my calls.
He'll return after he calms down.
He left without even having his lunch.
One last time...
Call him from your phone.
Let him be, Amma.
He'll return when he feels like it.
Where else will he go apart from here?
Did you ever try looking for your birth mother?
I never knew that I was adopted.
I'm really sorry.
When I spoke to Srinath, I thought you knew about it.
In fact, he also thinks you know.
So, I decided to tell... - It's okay. Get to the point.
After you left from the Press, Srinath told me a story...
Story?
What story?
Your story.
When you were adopted, certain legalities and formalities were followed.
I went looking for the adoption papers.
I found the hospital you were born in.
In the hospital register, I found details about your birth parents.
I heard the story and felt intrigued to pursue this case thoroughly.
So, I started collecting more information in-detail.
That is when I came across....
Triveni and Hirannaiah.
Your parents...
Triveni.. Hirannaiah..
Your mother Triveni worked as a gardener in the park by the Market.
A gardener named Linganna has been working there all these years.
I learnt more about Triveni after meeting his family.
It was Linganna who got Triveni a job in the park.
In cases like these, it's difficult to find those involved.
It is a lot more difficult to trace them.
In some cases, they intentionally don't leave behind any traces.
They cover things up. Like my family did.
They would have reached an understanding.
There must be an intention behind it.
Nope.
It's all about being selfish.
When you were given up for adoption,
...self-interests were marred by a bigger battle that had to be fought.
Poverty.
What about my father?
His only respectable act was to father a child.
It is said that God moves around in the form of humans.
On that day, he arrived as... Postman Ramesh.
Ramesh would have his lunch every day in the same park that Triveni worked in.
He would observe Triveni and her hardships.
The day he saw the wailing child, he couldn't eat in peace.
He gave his food to Triveni and the child.
He allotted a share of his salary for the child's upbringing.
And one fine day...
[TRIVENI]: Ganeshanna..
Let this new-born not suffer a tragic fate like me.
What are you saying?
[TRIVENI]: I'll be banished in hell forever for this sinful act.
The child is an orphan even if I'm here.
I'm thinking of sending the child to an Orphanage.
Ramesh, was a Postman.
He was an acquaintance of sort.
He came down and got an advertisement published with Rathnakara's photograph.
What was it about?
'A 2-year old child was up for adoption'
Giving up children for adoption was common.
But this case was different.
Ramesh had a good intention.
So, I decided to publish his advertisement.
But you never know what fate has in store for anyone.
Remember the child that was up for adoption?
I got an advertisement published for it.
This house has been barren for the last eight years.
The very child that Ramesh and I put for adoption
...was adopted by Ramesh and his wife.
Rathnakara got a safe roof over his head and a warm lap.
TRANS-GENDERS: Let's go, soon. I have not made anything all day.
I love the Rava Idly in this hotel. They'll give it for free. Ask them.
Look over there.. Our baby Mayuri is here.
What are you thinking?
Is there anything more that I need to know?
Any new details about my life that are alien to me?
You...
You have a sister.
What?
She's a couple of years elder to you.
Before you were given up for adoption, she was adopted.
What are you saying?
I learnt more about your sister and Triveni from Azghar Sahab Mullah.
Triveni would work the park in the mornings and
...would guard the slippers at the mosque in the noon.
Her safe haven in the night was the Mosque.
In her world filled with darkness,
...the one who turned out to be a beacon of light was Mushifiqar.
Mushfiqar was a kind man.
He had lost his only daughter.
His empty house and heart was seeking the laughter of a child.
He saw his daughter in that child.
The girl you see there...
She reminds me of my late daughter.
Her mother has to bear the burden of her life too.
I'll take care of her.
I'll nurture her into a great human being.
The lady had no intention of giving up her child.
It was I who convinced her.
I made her aware that she would have to bring the child up in these streets.
In the end, the child reached the doors of Mushfiqar.
They named her...
Tabassum
I went looking for Tabassum in her locality.
I also went looking for her working place.
Tabassum grew up in Mushfiqar's house.
Her parents got her married too.
I learnt that they lived in the same area but they're not here anymore.
Where are they now? - Kashmir.
In a village somewhere over there.
They moved to their native.
I learnt that her family supplies clothes to a shop in Srinagar.
I tried calling. But I couldn't reach them.
O' Krishna!
Didn't you find another route to get there? - This is the only way out. Just come.
Rathna, I have no intention of disturbing your world.
I should have been more careful.
I'm very sorry.
I still need time to digest these facts.
I'm unable to talk. - Please take your time.
But don't take any rash decisions.
Decisions? About what?
The only route you can take now is Tabassum.
If we have to find your roots, we have to start with her.
We might not even find her.
What if my birth mother's not alive?
Let's not give up even before we start.
If you feel like meeting your sister, let me know.
I'll be waiting.
To click a perfect family photograph.
I'm so sorry. I got late.
Did you check your Whatsapp? - No, wait...
What did I you make you study?
What are you doing in life?
There's an opening for a job. The link is in there.
I personally sat and looked for it, just for you.
All you have to do is send the resume.
I've already talked to the manager and set things up.
I've done all the necessary help. Apply for the job immediately.
Are you wondering how to thank me?
We're going to marry each other. No formalities.
Can you send me the pictures of the wedding hall?
I want to send them to Amma.
Why would you trouble her unnecessarily?
Mom wants to pay half of the rental of the wedding hall.
There's no need for that at all.
Let's not burden her.
We'll get married on our own.
You told me about your story, right?
If it gets finalised, Delhi is right on your way.
You can meet your mother.
Then you would've met her once before the wedding too.
Shall we go?
Sleep dear.
I'll sing for you. Will you sleep then?
You're my buttercup.
If you both are done with this high-level meeting, please disperse.
I need to catch up with Naagini-2.
Something is on between the two of you.
Let's resolve that first.
Your show isn't the concern here.
I don't have the leisure to listen to your decisions.
Why's that? We are grown-ups too.
We have the right to take our decisions.
Raghu, get ready soon in the morning.
I need to buy you two new trousers.
Okay dear. Please put the kid to sleep.
Rathnakara, you tell us.
She's not my birth mother.
The one who gave birth to me is elsewhere.
Saroja and I have never gotten along.
I'm planning to go in search of the one who gave birth to me.
Sleep well, my beautiful flower.
Quit your awful singing, you cacaphonic porcupine!
What did she say? She said something...
Porcupine.. or wine..
What did she call me?
Baby, I've never heard that scolding before.
It's my first time too.
But she abused me... - Baby, give me some time.
I'm having a conversation here.
Together we'll Google the meaning, okay?
Please, get back inside now.
When I heard about it first, I couldn't believe it.
Ever since I learnt the truth, my head is nesting a lot of confusions.
I need to find the answers to all my questions.
Who am I?
Why do I exist?
What is my actual world like?
What could her world be like?
What if my world aligns with hers?
Will she accept me if I go and stand in front of her?
As much as I am curious to find about her,
...is she also interested in finding out about her kids?
I need to find answers to these questions.
What do you have to say, Amma?
A man can have only one mother.
The truth is that my birth mother is a different woman.
Giving birth isn't enough.
Nurturing a child, is what makes one a mother.
Do you have any questions for me?
Amma...?
I'm not jealous of anyone.
Neither do I have the intention of hiding the truth.
I'm living with this truth.
After he came into our lives, you were born.
You be the judge.
Have I ever been biased to him?
I might not have given birth to him.
He is my son...
...and so are you.
A mother can have as many children as she wants.
But a child can have only mother.
Then tell me this...
Who am I to you, Rathna?
Anyway, I wonder what's happening on Naagini-2?
Raghu, the kid finally slept.
We can catch up with a movie in the other room and crash.
Let's go. - You're a dumb woman.
Watching a child gently breathe in its sleep is a bliss to any mother.
Once children grow up, we won't get a chance to experience it again.
Have your dinner before going to bed.
Don't go to bed on an empty stomach.
I was the first child.
All the experiments were done on me.
I was the scapegoat for all their mistakes.
Before you were born, the trial and errors were done.
Father left us before I could experience life.
I wanted to do my Master's.
But I was the sole breadwinner.
Neither did I get to study well...
Nor did I get a great job.
I got stuck.
Instead of celebrating life, one shouldn't repent it.
Do you think Amma was responsible for this?
We're the stones. Aren't they our sculptors?
Fine.
What if she'd told you when you were young?
What would've changed?
What if you were in my position?
When it comes to life, I've to accept that I'm lucky.
Except for the fact that my wife and mother can't stand each other...
I have no real problems in life.
A Cacophonous Porcupine...?!
Idiot!
Had to leave during the inauspicious hour.
Could he not have waited?
By the time my flight takes off, the hour would have ended.
Are you going on an aeroplane? - Yes.
I've always had a doubt about aeroplanes.
What is it?
When an aeroplane is flying over a city and the passengers inside are peeing,
...won't it land on our heads?
I thought you had a real doubt. Yuck!
I was just kidding, you grumpy donkey!
Look at his face swollen like a puffer fish.
I wanted to make him laugh.
Ms. Work from home. Come here.
Here...
Thank you.
Do you need some money for your travel?
No need. I have some.
I'd packed your meal. Did you take it?
Yes.
You're going all alone. Please, take care.
You too. Raghu will take care of you.
I'm getting late. I'll leave.
You should never say that you're leaving.
You should always say that you'll be back.
Raghu...
My Rathna will return, right?
He surely will.
Can that wastrel live without listening to your abuses?
No!
You don't get to scold my son.
Only I get to scold him.
Take care.
Away, further away, towards an unseen city.
Walking in pursuit of a road with no milestones
Yearning to find something that doesnâ€™t exist here, but hopefully does over there
Every moment of life ahead calls for learning
Mayu... Take this.
It'll help you with the cold.
Looking for your boarding pass? - Yes.
I've done the web check-in. Check your phone.
Just a moment.
There you go.
The wedding invitation card?
Beautiful design. - Thank you.
I see your parents' name.
But I don't see my mother's name in it.
This one does.
Each invitation card costs 180 bucks.
We get married only once. So, it doesn't matter.
You know how embarrassing it was when your mother came to our engagement ceremony.
Mayu... Look at me.
I want you.
I don't care about your past.
We don't need that.
Alright?
The earth has turned into a keyed doll
Anonymously watching all the fun
The parade of life has now crossed all borders
The earth is now a borderless soul
Unaware of what lies beyond the darkness, preparations to barge in are on
In a hurry to find light, the journey with no turning back has begun
Heading towards an undiscovered city
Oâ€™ wanderer!
Hello, who is it? - It's me, Rathnakara.
Did you reach? Who is with you?
[MAYURI IN HINDI] Can't we get a vehicle here?
Mayur.. A guy.
A two-wheeler will do.
Does he drink and smoke? - Hang up now. I'll call you later.
I'm tired of her questions.
What is it?!
Some Khava?
What are you looking at? Leave.
Where can I find that address? - You'll have to check in Srinagar.
Hey, thank you. What's your name?
Muskaan.
What's happening, Rathnakara?
A Girlfriend, huh? - What?! That was my mother.
But what do we do now? - What happened?
They don't allow unmarried couples.
Shouldn't you have checked that before booking?
All the hotels in the city are booked.
This was our last option.
What the hell? - Chill. Don't worry...
To tackle such problems, I carry a Mangalasutra around.
Take me over there and...
WHAT?! Are you kidding me?
Let me talk to him.
Wait.. Mister!
Take a chill pill. I was just messing around.
I'm not a threat to your chastity.
Take your room key.
Rathna, have your Khava!
There's too much cardamom in it.
I didn't like it.
By the way, why do you have a Mangalasutra?
To show it to my mother.
Thank God! - Rathna, get ready.
We need to head to the market and start looking.
As the memories fade away, turn the page to a new chapter
Fill the empty spaces with your experiences
Looking for the comfort of that lap, in this new soil
You roam around without a destination
Oâ€™ Wanderer!
This is the shop.
Hello bhaiya, I had to ask you something.
Tell me. How can I help you?
A man named Ahmed Ali from Karnataka runs a cloth business here.
He also supplies clothes to your shop.
Do you know him? - Ahmed?
Ahmed is a friend.
He should be here soon.
The bus arrives at 10.30. If you wait, you can meet him.
Sure bhaiya. We'll wait for him.
We have to wait here.
Are you done blabbering broken Hindi like Bengaluru's cab drivers do?
I got the job done, right? Quit complaining.
Ahmed will be here in 30 minutes.
Be ready. Talk to him as soon as he comes.
Om Krishnaya Namaha. Om Keshavaya Namaha.
Om Keshishatrave Namaha. Om Sanatanaya Namaha.
What are you reading?
I'm chanting the Vishnu Sahasranama.
Look there. Ahmed is here.
Hey Rathna!
Bhaiya, one minute.
Waalaikum Assalam!
Big brother!
Where is your phone?
It's broken. Needs repair.
Here it is. This week's load. Check it once.
Ahmed, someone had come looking for you from Karnataka.
There were two people.
There was a man and a woman.
Let me check.
From Karnataka? Looking for me?
Rathnakara. What happened to you?
Ahmed was right there.
I can't do this. Let's come back tomorrow.
It doesn't feel right today.
Wait.. They serve both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food here.
We've gone through twenty restaurants.
Why can't you order vegetarian food in a non-vegetarian food restaurant?
What's the guarantee that they'll make it in different vessels?
Fill your stomach with biscuits and bread.
I'm starving. I'll eat.
Feel free to live on Khava and Apple like a sage.
Come on.. I don't like Khava. Finding apple at this hour...
Wait up!
Order something. - Don't force me. You eat.
My tummy's full.
I'll wash my hands and come back.
All you make is the same old damned Chitranna.
Why can't you make something tasty once in a while?
There's nothing but rice in the kitchen for me to cook.
Is this why I slog like a donkey? How can it not be there?
What do we do now?
Let's just check-out tomorrow and look for him.
Where are you, swine-catcher?
How many more times should I call?
Answer my calls or a mother's curse will destroy you!
It's raining continuously in Bengaluru as if a buffalo's peeing from the skies.
What is the weather and climate over there like?
Make sure you wear sweaters and shawl.
You're prone to cold.
Don't forget the 'inhale-exhale' method the Yoga guru thought you.
Make sure you have hot meals.
Careful with the meat around you.
Don't get fooled, you country moron.
The house seems empty without you.
Come back soon, Rathna.
Rathna? - Rathnakara.
Keep my mobile with you.
A small gift for you.
So cute...
Thank you.
Tej pratap maha jag vandana... Vidyavan guni ati chatura...
Ram kaj karibe ko aatura... Prabu charitra sunibe ko rasiya...
Are you chanting the Vishnu Sahasranama? - Hanuman Chalisa.
Keep this.
Where the hell are the bags?
What?
Where the hell did our luggage go?!
Ahmed Ali is here. Let's get hold of him, first.
To hell with you!
Somebody flicked our damn bag, mobiles, wallet and luggage.
Look over here, dammit!
Shit!
We lost Ahmed.
Screw Ahmed!
How do we go back home?
We can't even call anyone. We're out of money.
Give me a second. Let me think. - To hell with your thinking!
Useless fellow!
It's my fault that I trusted you all the way till here.
I can't believe I left my luggage trusting you.
Rathna, can you stand decently for a minute and talk?
I need to find my luggage first.
Save us, Karthaveeryarjuna!
Where the hell are you going? Rathna?
We lost the luggage and Ahmed too.
What do we do now? - Eat shit!
This happened because of you.
Look at that face of yours... - Mr. Rathnakara, I'm requesting you.
Will you shut up?
Wait up!
Are you the ones from Karnataka?
Yes, sir. We're from Karnataka.
We came looking for you...
Were you the ones who did that and came all the way here?
Were you the ones who did that with Motabhai?
Yes sir.
Years ago, my father did business with Mushfiqar in Bangalore.
Saree business.
We have a store in Kathriguppe.
So, we were thinking of continuing the business with you...
I'm feeling extremely that..
Considering how you came this far to do that...
Knowing that you're in the same business as me, I felt a lot of that.
Your father's that...?
His what? - His name!
Ramesh.. Erm.. Hirannaiah.
Hirannaiah. Haven't heard it before.
No worries.
Is she your that?
What?! Eww. No.
My name is Mayuri. He's Rathna.
Oh! So, Rathna is your that.
Rathnakara.. is my name.
Sir, we need an urgent help from you. - Tell me.
A while ago somebody flicked our bags, mobiles, wallet and luggage.
Apart from the clothes we're wearing and this camera. It's all gone.
We need to lodge a Police complaint.
O' Allah!
What is it, sir? - Look over there.
I'm a bit weak in Urdu.
It says that, 'Your luggage is your that'.
The Police here have bigger 'that' to handle.
So, this is a very petty case for them.
What do we do now?
Even in this freezing cold, I feel like I'll have a melt down.
Let's do this.
Why don't you two do that in my this?
We'll do something about that tomorrow.
Yes sir! We'll do that and then do this!
Huh? - Sorry, I mean we'll come with you.
Won't we, Rathnakara?
Let's get going then.
Sir, can you give me your phone?
Hello? Tell me... - Rathnakara here.
How many times should I call you? Where are you?
That's a long story.
What happened? Why do you sound tensed?
Amma slipped and fell in the bathroom.
She's hurt her spine.
We got her admitted in a hospital.
Thankfully the bathroom door wasn't locked. She got out easily.
What did the doctor say?
Nothing to worry.
At her age, recovery will take time.
When are you returning?
The thing is...
Hello?
Please come! Welcome!
Have you seen the bud of Kashmir? - Nope.
Let me show you.
[SINGS A BOLLYWOOD SONG] Wait and watch from here.
[CONTINUES SINGING]
[AHMED WHISTLES]
[WHISTLE HEARD FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE]
Is something wrong? - No. Why do you ask?
I have a weird feeling. I'm scared.
You'll be fine. They are here.
From Karnataka?
The ones we were expecting? - Just come out.
Look over there.
If you do that for them, I'll call them inside.
You got stuck looking at my that.
Come inside.
Please have it.
This is Kashmir's Khava. It's delicious.
Is the Khava okay now?
What's wrong with it? It's perfect!
Oh, really?
What's your name, darling? - Tell them your name.
'Tell them your name'
Tell them your name, dear. - Rehana.
Oh! Nice name.
Looks like the cold in my village, is making it worse for your that.
If it gets colder, your nose will start doing that.
Careful!
You're fine, right?
To tell you the truth...
With a roof like this, there'll be a lot of wind and light in the house.
We are waiting for some money.
As soon as we get it, we'll get the entire house repaired.
[NEWS]On the eve of the anniversary of removal of Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir,
...two-day long curfew has been imposed.
After various acts of violence were reported in Srinagar, a two-day long curfew has now been strictly imposed.
Damn it!
What is this? Why did that happen?
However, vehicles with special permission...
What do we do now, Rathnakara?
[NEWS]...will be allowed to travel in cases of emergency.
Sir, if you don't mind. Can I have your phone?
For sure. Feel free to use it.
Here...
Sir, there's no network.
You asked for this and I gave you this.
If you ask for that, where will I find that?
Sir, it's a bit urgent. I need to call my mother.
On your way here, you went all Humpty Dumpty, right?
There's a hillock next to it.
If you get on the hillock, you'll find that on your own.
How is Saroja doing? - Nothing to worry.
We got a scan done.
The doctor told us that she'll recover.
I thought of returning, but I'm stuck in a mess here.
Focus on what you're there for.
Get done with it and return.
Keep in touch. Okay?
He did that on the mountain to come all the way up here.
What's wrong with you? Why did you leave just like that?
I would've come along with you.
You're here, right?
What's done is done. Stop being angry about it.
Let's think about what's next.
Stop making grumpy faces and stop flipping out!
This is what my face looks like!
Fine! You look beautiful.
Let's think about how to tell Tabassum and then get out of here.
You're the one who got us into trouble. YOU think of a way out.
Who can help us now?
Aren't you busy flirting with your boyfriend all day?
Take this. Call him and he'll help us.
You're crossing your limits. - To hell with your limit!
I've crossed my patience limit.
Enough with this attitude.
Call your boyfriend and get me out of this slush!
Then I'll come back to your limits.
You...
Did I offend our madame?
Your plan is to do it all by yourself without your
...hero's help and become the heroine, huh?
It's my responsibility to get you out safely and send you home, okay?
I'll make the necessary arrangements for it.
Meanwhile, get the hell out of here.
Perfect! A leaky nose... - Don't lose your cool, sir.
Mayuri madam will do this and that to you.
She'll do that and this!
I meant she'll make way for you...
[RATHNAKARA]: In the middle of nowhere.
Hello? It's me...
All of this is so beautiful.
This is how we spend time in our village.
I had to tell you something important.
What did you say?
Nothing.
The thing is, we just met this morning.
But it feels as if we've known each other forever.
Such a small world.
Years ago, our fathers met.
Today, we're meeting each other in a different part of the world.
Why were you both fighting with each other?
Not in talking terms anymore, huh?
It's just that he's lost his mind. - That is how it is!
Two people who have lost it, always end up together.
Look at me and my wife.
From what angle do we look like a good match?
We don't.
We both lost our minds and that happened. So we got stuck to each other.
Watch me now!
I'll show you a special that of mine!
What's wrong with you?!
Madman!
What did he tell you in front of everyone?
Why are you so far away?
He asked me to come closer and dance.
How did you even...?
Look how awesome my Kashmir Ki Kali is.
Your partner also whistled.
You're the only one left. Do it.
I'm not used to doing such indecent things.
What?
Do you mean to say that my husband and I were being indecent with each other?
Not like that. - Fine.
Where did you meet your partner?
About that...
I wanted to talk to you about that.
Tell me.
I...
Looks like you both are gossiping about us.
Teach your partner to whistle.
Go on. Whistle, Rathnakara. - I don't know how to.
What?! This is common in love.
Everything is possible in love.
Only when you do this in love, does that happen.
Come here!
Go on! - [RATHNA] There's no love here...
A slow motion embrace. Do you want one too Tabassum?
If they keep staring for five minutes, their love will become that.
Come on now. Look at my that!
'CLICK'
Super. - Are you done?
I need to cook. Come and chop the vegetables.
You keep cutting that all day. Let's cut it later.
And you.. Make sure you learn to whistle and come in.
Else, you'll be getting one Roti lesser.
Did you witness the power of our love?
If our this doesn't join, that won't happen.
We'll meet you after a break.
Enjoy.
You were not wrong, Rathnakara.
Forgive me, please.
Apparently Saroja fell in the bathroom and is suffering a slip-disc.
Raghu is looking after her.
I lost my cool.
I'm.. I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Is it serious? Do you have to return?
No. Raghu told me that he'll take care of her and asked me to come once I'm done.
Okay.
Mayuri...
You said something about me being right.
I don't want to call my fiance and ask for his help.
It's up to you if you think it's arrogance or pride.
I don't like to depend on anyone.
The one I had to depend on to build a life,
...abandoned me in a garbage pit just because I was a girl.
It was my mother who came to my rescue back then
...and provided me a lap to sleep on.
No matter what I do, I end up depending on others.
Isn't it normal for everyone to depend on each other?
Only if that dependency doesn't suffocate you.
Isn't it better to tell the truth?
Mayuri...
It's time to tell Tabassum the truth.
How did you get here? - None of your business.
You sold Abbu's house.
I'm lawfully entitled to have my share of the property.
No way! Shut up and withdraw your case in the court.
Is it not the duty of your that? To give the money?
Don't you start your this-that talk, I'll whack your face, you nitwit!
Sarfaraz! - Ahmed!
Is this how you treat your younger brother?
What kind of a worthless brother moves across towns desperately demanding property?
What kind of a sister are you?! You're a devil!
You speak of poverty, but you didn't hesitate to bring a child into this world.
Bloody scoundrel!
Ahmed!
Why are you hitting me?
Let me go, rascal!
The guests are here!
Tabassum, we had something to tell you.
You'll be extremely happy to hear it.
Our Rathna... - Rathnakara!
Same thing.
Rathnakara is your brother.
He's the second child of your parents.
What did you just say? Say it again.
Woah! Do you also speak Kannada?
I'm from Shivajinagar in Bengaluru. I'm Sarfaraz!
Her broth...
Let that go. Get to the point.
I'm Mayuri. He's Rathnakara.
To hell with it. Get to the point!
Your mother's not yours. My mother's not mine.
My mother is yours. Your mother is mine.
Huh?
What the hell is he babbling about?
Has he gone mad?!
Here's what happened.
We went looking for Tabassum and Rathnakara's mother.
Tabassum was adopted by your parents, who was taken from their mother.
This guy is her brother... Rathnakara.
I'm a journalist. I am doing a story on them.
What? But you told me that you did that with sarees.
We lied. To talk to you.
You mean to say that...
You are her brother.
Yes.
Shut up and sit back.
His mother is her mother. Her mother is his mother.
That means she's not my sister, and I'm not her brother.
Ask him for the money.
Scoundrel! I'll whack you with my slippers!
I don't give a damn about the money.
You are my brother. That is the truth.
Excuse me. I think you're confused. I am your brother...
ENOUGH!
You're butting in at the wrong time and have ruined everything.
What kind of a brother are you?
Actually madam, we were supposed to come yesterday.
But couldn't make it.
You've destroyed my life. Are you happy now?
We thought you knew about this...
Please, don't cry.
He was supposed to come. Give us our share in the property.
We were waiting to build a new life for ourselves.
In this battle for our lives, you ended up stabbing us with your sword.
When our relationship isn't real, what you call it doesn't matter.
Don't even look forward to peanuts, let alone money.
May Allah bless you.
May God protect you.
Chotu?
Back when you were fasting, even though I couldn't sleep,
I would lay on the bed for longer and end up getting beaten by Ammi.
Why would I do that?
Because you would starve all day, and I wanted you
...to eat more food from whatever we had.
Didn't this relationship exist back then?
How will this loafer learn the value of that?
Ahmed!
I will not take it if you abuse my brother again.
Until Abbu and Ammi's last breath,
I took care of them so that you don't feel the burden.
As their daughter...
Didn't this relationship exist back then?
Sarfaraz!
Ahmed...
Let us withdraw the case.
I think he is in need of money.
Or else...
This is not my brother.
This is not him.
Tabassum, we shall...
Are you leaving?
Last night, I spoke like an idiot.
Forgive me.
No. I'm the one at fault. - No!
The fault lies with the situation.
It is God who needs to apologise to us.
You come by after years...
You tell me that you're my brother.
We never ate together, nor did we cry or laugh together.
How can you become my brother?
That guy who fought with me and left me cutting off the ties last night...
He is my younger brother.
Abbu and Ammi put their life into bringing me up.
Those relationships have a meaning.
But...
This relationship...
We can only give it a title.
Tell me what more it could possibly be.
Irrespective of whether the roof of my house is broken or not...
By next year, I'll save up and fix everything.
Rathna...
I'm a different person.
My religion is different and so is my world.
You're only a guest.
In my life and my home.
May good things happen to you.
Well well...
One shouldn't leave Kashmir empty handed.
Here you go... The famous Kashmir's that.
Two for you...
Two more for your apple.
Can I take a picture of you three?
We surely can.
Okay. Smile...
Wait for a minute.
Take this.
If you've come looking for me...
You must have met him too, right?
Who should we have met?
The third one.
WHAT?!
We were three siblings.
I'm the eldest.
You're the second child.
The third one...? The baby?
Our younger brother?
He was the first one to leave us.
I didn't know this.
Saroja told us to leave after the inauspicious hour.
I never listened to her.
We left at a really wrong time.
I never got a chance to get a good look at him.
The chances of you remembering him is very less.
I was five-years-old when I was given up for adoption.
She had no love and just gave away her daughter.
I was crying and turned back.
She was taking money.
That memory is still etched in my mind.
The lady who took him away, gave me this locket.
She had a tattoo on her hand and when I asked her about it.
She told me it was the name of her God.
I don't know where they were from.
The name of the temple was Yellammana Gudda.
I got to know that the locket was from there.
Having given you this, I feel like a huge burden has been lifted off me.
I don't know if I have it in me to carry this weight.
Hi...
My mother!
Namaskara!
She's the President of the National Transgenders Council.
Namaste!
It'll be very difficult to make it to the wedding, dear.
Did Nikhil call you and ask you not to come?
Not at all. Why would you think like that, angel face?
I have a lot of things to do in this life.
Amma, you don't even know how to lie.
It's okay.
You're not the first one to get scared by looking at us.
No. I was lost in thought.
It is common for people to get scared of us.
When Mayuri was in school, they had called for a Parents'-Teachers' meeting.
Paaravva had been there for it.
Everybody in school got scared of her.
But our baby had accepted Paaravva.
But this society is still a coward.
It is still scared of us.
At the edge of this turn lies an unforeseen whirlpool.
This merciless life has an unexpected value to it.
Life is an empty carnival
Our survival here is no less than an illusion
Craving elsewhere for answers that lies within
You roam around without a destination
The wedding hasn't happened yet.
You still have a chance.
Give it a shot.
What are you saying?
I've been watching you ever since I came here.
Just like a bee attracted to honey, you've been starstruck by our girl.
Nothing of those sorts.
Stop teasing him.
Thank you, Rathna.
For being with my daughter and safeguarding her.
Actually, she's the one who safeguarded me.
My dear boy.
I'm sorry it took this long to arrange the money.
Give it to me.
Take it.
Go on now.
Wait...
Mom, why are you embarrassing me in front of my friends.
Sorry. - I'll leave.
Oh God! You should never say that you're leaving.
You should always say that you'll be back.
Rathna, why are you crying?
Have you never hugged anyone before?
I haven't. - Rathna has never hugged anyone before.
Shall we teach him? - Let's get him used to it.
Sister, give him a hug.
Rathna is a good man. - Thanks for everything.
Amma, give me your phone. I need to make a call.
Keep this phone.
You don't have any money on you.
You'll need it to get home. Keep it.
I don't want it...
Stop being adamant. You've lost your phone too. Keep it.
She won't take money from me.
Either she'll get upset or fight with me.
You keep it with you carefully.
Thank you.
Are you done? - Thank you, Amma.
Mayuri, you forgot something.
What is it? - A picture.
Oh yeah. - Parvati, stand with us.
A selfie?
Take care. - Darling, careful about our girl.
We'll miss you.
Mayuri, you were supposed to show the Mangalasutra to your mother.
Did you forget it?
I didn't forget it.
I decided not to show her.
What do you mean?
I rang Nikhil and called the wedding off.
What?!
More than all the money he had loaned me,
...I felt that I owed my mother who gave me a life, a lot more.
Where to next?
Do we have another option?
I thought we would be done here.
But...
Excuse me?
Could you tell me about the temple of the deity on this locket?
What can you tell us about this locket? - This is from the Yellavva temple.
Who do you think wears this?
This isn't worn by the commoners.
Very few people wear it.
Will we find them if we look around? - I can't say for sure.
Are you from Bengaluru? - Yes.
Are you here to shoot a film?
Are you the cameraman? - I'm the hero.
Quit joking, sir.
You look like an innocent man. How could you be the hero?
Swear on Yellavva and tell me.
Can you tell us about the temple this locket can be found in?
This locket...
Oh this one.. - Do you know about it?
How can I not know, you nitwit?
This is made in the Yellavva temple of our village.
If you come along, I'll show you. [OWNER] Shama, come here.
What is your name?
Airavatha. - Wow. Grand name.
He said he'll take us. Let's go.
But we don't even know him. - Mr. Chakravarthy..
Shall we go? - No. It's Airavatha.
Let your bull lead us, the cows will follow.
Hello? - The two are here.
I'm bringing them.
There's an important matter.
My name is Airavatha. You pick yours.
That was my code name. How could you take it?
Why are you reacting like a monkey with a burnt bum?
Is Airavatha the only film of his? Take Yajamaana for now.
Nope. Not happening.
Jump into a well and die. I'm Rocky Bhai.
Sorted then. What are we calling Mani?
Jaguar! - Fine. We're waiting.
Are Akul Balaji and Anushree coming?
Sir, this is my friend Airavatha.
Wasn't that your name?
I changed it on my way here.
I'm Airavatha. - And I am Rocky Bhai.
He's Jaguar.
Sir, please take a picture of this Twin bulls.
Madam, take a picture. - Make way for me.
You get your things ready.
Click a good one, madam.
'I will finish Uncle, Subbi.' - Who the hell is that?
What the hell is this?! - Who are you guys?
He has a gun! - A gun?!
What do you guys want? - Wear it quickly.
We're here to get you. Stand quietly!
Will you comply and get in the car or should we throw you inside?
Dumbass! How can they see? We'll have to get them in there.
Get in! - Let's go.
Let us go.
Get down.
Get down from the car.
Let's go.
You made a huge mistake, Veerabhadra.
You bitched about our family, but I stayed mum and stood in a corner.
Out of nowhere, you dared to speak about mother...
That... That was your biggest mistake.
A grave crime!
Sir, you can stand up straight.
That shithead is hanging upside down.
What.. What's happening here?
An ancient form of weighing.
What do we do now?
Find a way to escape from here. My legs are trembling.
I'm really hungry.
Uppittu, Shira, Shaavige, Avalakki, Dvaase or Idly?
Tell us what you want. I'll get it for you.
How about half-plate Egg rice with some extra onions?
Get this man his last half-plate of egg rice with some extra onions.
Let him eat now.
We'll send him off on a vacation with no return.
Get him down. - Take it easy.
Brother, the TV people you were asking for.
They're here. [RATHNA] TV people?!
Greetings. - You're confused.
I thought someone like Anchor Anushree would come down.
She looks like a local one.
Brother, Egg rice with extra onions is here.
Give it to him.
You guys can start working.
Go on... Shoot! - I've no idea how to use this.
You got me wrong. This is my pose.
Shoot me on your camera.
Start shooting...
Jai Yellavva!
Madam, the action scene will begin now.
You have to shoot a great video. got it?
Come forward.
Take it away. - Enough! Return it.
Tell us smart ass!
Repeat the cuss word you used against Avva.
Let it go! - How is that possible?
You scolded her there, but if you don't do it here,
...that would mess with my principle.
Udaala, let me go. - Say it again, you wastrel!
She is a treacherous woman!
Oh my God! Don't beat me.
Spare me! - Madam, are you making a video?
Zoom in! - Don't injure my face.
I was going to slit your tongue and hang it up at the entrance pillars.
You too have a mother waiting for you at home.
I'm letting you go. Live.
Don't even dare sleep in the direction of my village, ever again.
Take him to the hospital.
Get his face plastered and drop him home!
Get up!
Madam? Sir?
What are you looking at?
You're here to make a video. This is just the sample.
A fair is about to happen in the village.
Prepare for terrifying scenes.
Get in.
Listen to us. We're not the ones... - Don't feel shy about anything.
My boys will take care of everything. Get in.
Daanya, get in!
Get in the car. - What's blocking their ears?
Why don't they listen? - Put the gun down, genius.
Stop the car. Old man's here.
Boy, aren't you Yellavva's son?
Grandpa, even if your eyes don't work.
How did you find out that he's Udaala?
Is God visible to the naked eye? - No.
Yet we bow down at the temple, don't we?
He's the son of a Goddess.
His Avva is the mother of this entire village.
Thanks to her blessings, food and water is available in abundance.
That is why.
If I have a re-birth, it's my wish to be born in that mother's womb.
Nope. Shouldn't I let that happen?
My mother belongs to me.
No one else stands a chance.
She might be your mother.
But to this village, she's a Goddess.
Also...
"To have taken birth in her womb, you are really lucky."
"She wanted to pay and get my eyes operated."
"I told her not to spend so much"
Is that all, Grandpa?
We've memorised every word of Grandpa.
Every year, he visits the village to attend the fair.
He's here for the same now.
Am I right, Grandpa? - Yes.
Give my regards to Yellavva.
Have a nice walk, Grandpa. - Careful, Grandpa.
Bless me, mother!
Where are you going now?
Why are you doing this? Let's go home!
I'm going to jump into this well! - Don't beat me! Please!
I won't spare you!
Let me see who'll stop me.
Get down, please. I'll fall at your feet.
Stop this. Please.
Who is it?
Who hasn't heard about the valour of my shoulders and arms?
What is it Paartha?
Thou shall not defeat me with your furious gaze!
You no longer have the strength in you!
The moment you humiliated this pure devoted wife, your good deeds
...have vanished and heavy sacks of sins hang on your shoulders.
Take out your divine bow.
Harness the Pashupathastra, the ultimate arrow that Lord Parameshwara gifted you.
[GIBBERISH]
You arrogant being!
Having built the stairs to the world of Gods.
Having built that to the other world.
Connecting this to that and that to this.
Bravo!
Can you repeat it?
Bravo!
Heavens!
Squeeze it! Squeeze the other one too!
Every drop he drank should ooze out of him.
If you display your manliness by beating your wife again,
It won't just be the strength of your arms that will disappear.
I'll make sure there's no strength left in any part of your body!
I shall leave. - Udaala!
I don't know if he'll stop beating me.
But you stopped him from beating me, like a brother would.
Thanks to your mother's blood in you.
I have no money to give you.
Take this.
Next time, make some spicy pickle with it.
Avva likes it a lot.
I shall leave it. Let's go.
We saw the village and everything's so beautiful.
We shall take the bus and leave.
There's a lot for your camera to see.
This is just the sample. Let's go.
We've seen everything, right?
We've an important work...
Silence.
If you don't come and accept our hospitality, my mother will feel bad.
She'll take it to heart. I won't let that happen.
Let's go, Madam.
Quit standing and move. [BABU] Egg rice. Take the car out.
A man from a city like you married a girl in our village.
Having visited his in-laws, he met Umya and Daanya and got cocky.
He asked them if there were any means of entertainment in the village.
These guys told them...
"We had the best entertainment we could find."
"Just that you ended up marrying it."
Did the double entendre irritate you?
How about a single meaning joke?
Why do you have to trouble the guests?
Stay quiet.
He is...? [BASSAPPA]His brother.
Basappa Sharanppa Desai. - Don't listen to him.
He's my father. All he knows is to joke around.
Being his son, I don't take him seriously.
Follow the same policy, and you'll be fine.
They're TV people. They don't take anything seriously.
But they keep blurting, "Things have turned serious" all the time!
Avva is here.. Behave.
Here she is. The Goddess of this abode.
Not just this home, but of the entire village.
Keep quiet. What will people think?
Nothing as such.
Then she's the Goddess in the inner sanctuary.
I'm the proxy statue lying outside! What say, boys?
What is that tattoo?
This is the name of the God living in my house.
Bassappa.
[YOUNG TABASSUM] What is that on your hand?
This is the name of the God living in my house.
Yellavva!
Feed your son again. - Why, Dad?
He's been on a great mission. - Pipe it down, dad.
That means Udaala is...
Tomorrow is the day of our village's fair.
This year, the entire village is brimming with celebrations.
You both have to stay with us, experience the flavour of this village,
...seek Yellavva's blessings. Only then can you leave.
Actually, we'll have our lunch and leave.
You can't say no, my friend.
You will stay. You will attend the fair.
Else, Avva would feel bad.
If she feels bad...
Gobble whatever you wish to eat.
Benni...!
Is your mouth stitched up?
Let me go. I'll scream loudly.
Neither will you scream, nor will I let you go.
Are you trying to show off?
If I stand here any longer, the butter (benni) will melt away.
I've been waiting for Benni to melt for me.
Your mouth is stinking of Gutka.
It's disgusting.
Tell me what you like and I'll do just that.
A groom working in a company in the city,
...who is college-educated like me is visiting our house.
I like him. I like his style.
I like how gentlemanlike he sounds when he speaks English.
English isn't for me.
Will you let me go or should I smear it on your face?
I want you. What do I do?
Get educated.
Prosper in life, just like the groom who is about to ask my hand in marriage.
Speak some English and earn good reputation.
You flunked a lot of exams before you passed them.
Don't forget that, Benni.
Benni?
What a hopeless fellow! Never listens.
Looks like I'll have to pee in English for her to get in line.
I shall learn. English!
[INAUDIBLE COMMOTION]
Get him up!
Master has to perfectly learn the lessons you teach him. Got it?
But this man clearly doesn't understand Mathematics.
Master, enough with the lessons.
Time to play.
Let's go.
Sir, this is very unfair.
I've got a great job in the City.
Yet, they won't let me go.
Please, tell them sir.
Master, I asked you to play and you're howling here!
Try laughing a bit!
Take him away!
Why do you have a constipated face? Laugh out loud man!
That's how his face is.
I just don't like anyone who blabbers like this!
Blood! - Where is it?
That's not blood. It's Gutka.
That is our trademark. Fear not.
This is your bed. An antique peace.
Isn't it good? - We're doomed!
Talk in a different language. He'll understand.
He's an animal. He can't be my brother.
Mr. Rathna?
I...
English?!
LOCAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Udaala has been in love with Benni since they were kids.
Avva has accepted her as her daughter-in-law.
She walks until his doorstep, but refuses to step into his heart.
So, all you have to do is, teach him English.
She'll fall in love, in a jiffy.
This is a famous temple in our village.
Pray to it! - Bow down!
God, please grant me my wishes.
[MURMURS] Let these imbeciles walk ahead.
Jaguar, let's go straight, take the right and then the left.
We have to escape from here.
My nuts have been doing somersaults since morning.
Udaal Babu Rao is a crackpot. A madman.
He loves Yellavva above everyone.
He thinks of her as a Goddess.
If we tell him that Yellavva is not his mother...
He'll hang us upside down, stick a gun in our mouth and go bang bang!
For a shoot? There are 21 temples in this village.
You can shoot wherever you wish to.
Why does it look like you're having fun?
Are we in Switzerland for a jolly vacation?
What's on your mind?
Lines in English... - What are you saying?
I've decided that we'll teach Udaal Babu Rao,
...the English lines he wishes to learn.
What?
After we teach him English and he proposes Benni,
...he'll be in a great mood.
If we tell him the truth then... - He'll pull the trigger.
No way. He's in love!
There's no pain or death in love.
Why did you stop, sir?
Do you want to poop?
Screw English! To hell with these lines!
For heaven's sake. I can't do this!
How do you do this? My tongue just doesn't turn enough.
You look like Queen Elizabeth to me, right now.
Udaala knows all the English there is.
He used the words 'Elizabeth Queen'.
Repeat after me, Mr. Babu. - It's not that, madam.
Will Benni even understand this?
She's a failed student too. A dim one at that.
She repeatedly took the exams until she passed.
Now, I'm trying to graduate in her eyes.
Shall we move ahead?
Udaala? [IN UNISON] - Madam, I feel shy now.
Don't tease me like that.
Udaala...! - Sorry?
Why are you apologising for that?
I said let's learn the song and be done with it!
We have an entire night to go, madam.
I will learnt it at the right time.
You don't break your head. Just chill!
Madam, I had to ask you something. [to his gang] Shall I?
Go on, boss.
What is it? - What's your size?
It's just that, Benni is almost the same size as you.
Having had lots of butter and Girmit, she's broadened a tiny bit!
I've decided to buy her a pair of clothes at the fair.
Babu Rao, she's trying to teach you the song and all you're singing is bullshit!
Woah! [IN UNISON]
Looks like the Ram is in a mood for a clash.
Sit and chill, my friend. Why are you jumping around?
I've been watching you since then.
She's been asking you to learn the song.
All you have are cock and bull stories.
It's dawn already and you haven't learnt a single word!
Madam, looks like it pissed him off that I asked for your size.
A case of love!
Your reporter's in love with you.
Enough speaking crap!
Learn the song or let us go.
What a bunch of lunatics!
Your head is full of shit!
No wonder that girl isn't falling for you!
Brother has stood up!
What will you do?!
Don't you dare mess with our brother...
Rathnakara, stop!
I'm a Big brother too. So, what now?!
Let me go!
Stay quiet!
Why are you hugging me? Let me go!
I won't spare you! - Just leave.
Elizabeth! Ask him to be careful.
I let them go only because you're here.
Where are the two of your friends? I don't see them.
I don't know if they liked our food.
Poor them. Are they sleeping on an empty stomach?
If he's making that face, he must have caused a commotion.
Can I ask you something? - Yes.
Why did you lose your temper?
Was it because Udaal Babu Rao asked for my size?
It's just that.
Was it because he misbehaved with me?
Nothing of that sort.
I just lost my cool.
Did you feel possessive about me and get angry?
You didn't come to eat.
I felt bad.
I realised that you will sleep on an empty stomach.
I got some food for you.
It's okay. Don't take any trouble.
I'm the one troubling you, madam.
Sir, I was wrong.
Sorry.
Like you said, I'm a bit slow.
I don't know how to behave with people.
Have your dinner.
Why punish yourself because of me?
Madam, I'll sit tight and learn what you teach me.
I swear on God I will not trouble you.
Please, have it.
Take it.
Should I feed you, my friend?
Why is your face still grumpy?
I apologised, right?
It's over now.
One shouldn't sleep hungry. Eat some.
Have it, please?
There you go. Eat.
Madam, have it.
I have to tell this man the truth.
It's eating me up from inside.
I can't take it anymore.
Go ahead.
Go!
Mr. Babu?
I had to tell you something. - Yeah?
Yellavva is not your mother.
We share the same mother.
In fact, we are brothers.
Wake him up and tell him.
Yeah, so that he can pull the trigger! Let's just go!
'THE BUFFALO (BRAVE FELLOW) OF OUR VILLAGE'
Maniac!
I had to tell you something.
How is the poster? Does it not look awesome?!
Do I look like a buffalo to you?
I told him about the spelling mistake. Yet, he went ahead with it.
Mommy!
Throw it out! Get another one done.
Look what's written there.
You were going to say something. Go on.
You look good in the Poster. Like a Hero.
Is it? He thinks it's good.
Thank you.
From the bottom of my heart...
To the 'bootiful' baby.. Benni.
I lub yu.
Madam, was I right?
Will she like it?
Of course, she will, Babu Rao. You're saying it so well.
He's in a good mood. I'll say it. Come what may.
I had to tell you something.
I had to tell you something too. - Really?
You first. - No. You go ahead.
Go ahead. I'll tell you later.
If you're forcing me so much, I'll go first.
I needed a help from you.
Go on. We'll do it for you.
You both are TV people.
You look for the right moment and win over people's hearts.
Do something and get Benni in front of me.
I'll take care of the rest.
You want us to ask her?
Yes. If you go with a woman, she can't say no.
She will come for sure. - Babu Rao, we...
Please, don't say no.
We'll bring her.
He has zero culture or manners.
He is not sensitive at all.
Animals are less barbaric. He's that violent.
I will not come.
He's always chewing Gutka.
How do I kiss him? Tell me!
He keeps squirting Gutka everywhere.
He's disgusting.
He hardly learnt in school. He never went to college.
He's not educated. He's flunked every exam there was.
I heard you failed a couple of times too.
My father has chosen a groom for me from the city.
He works in a bank.
Brings salary in time.
He's educated too.
Let's not discuss education.
He's a good prospect.
I'll live comfortably with him.
You might have a comfortable life.
He might be in a good job with a good salary.
But one thing is true, Ms. Benni.
Nobody can love as madly as Babu Rao can.
Him and his men brandish guns and pistols all the time!
I don't like guns and pistols!
I won't be in a place filled with guns.
But Benni...
BENNI: Don't follow me 'cause he told you to.
Benni, listen to me.
I'm tensed. Give me a packet of Gutka.
They told us not to give you Gutka - Who did?
Rathnakara did.
Rathnakara... - It wasn't me. Benni told.
Benni did? Sure then.
My hands are itching! - What happened, Chimp?
'Cause I don't have a gun in my hand.
Look over here.
DAANYA: He said no to us, but got one for himself.
Babu Rao... There she is.
Iâ€™ve asked the high-class lass, to come by the bypass road
If things work out, lifeâ€™s going to be boom-boom-pow!
On the pretext of visiting the carnival, Iâ€™ve signalled her to come over
If things work out, lifeâ€™s going to be boom-boom-pow!
This rebellious lass is troubling me and is playing tricks
While she makes me dance to her tunes, and is acting all cocky
If things work out, lifeâ€™s going to be boom-boom-pow!
Iâ€™ve asked the high-class lass, to come by the bypass road
If things work out, lifeâ€™s going to be boom-boom-pow!
Back when we were young and met in the mangroves
Weâ€™ve fooled around ample times in our teens
Even when I hurled abuses, you would call me out with love
And now, all you do is blabber mumbo-jumbo
Donâ€™t forget, that I too know some English
Your steps, looks, lips and hair, everything look so classy!
Screw English! Take these lines!
Iâ€™ve asked the high-class lass, to come by the bypass road

Welcome to Yellavva's cattle shed and Babu Rao's Heart.
The heroine's here.
Get ready guys! - Wait here. I'm scared.
What now? - Get on your knees.
All this tension has made my pants sweaty and tight.
From the bottom of this Udaal Babu Rao's heart...
To the 'beautipul' baby.. Benni.
I... What was it, sir?
[WHISPERS] I love you
I love you.
Couldn't you get me a rose?
It's a yes, Udaala.
[UDAALA] Really?!
Wait right here. I can't forget my Gurus.
Madam, this wouldn't have happened without you.
What song did you write? It is an instant hit!
Thank you.
And you...
You're in here. You're my bestie!
I like you a lot. A lot!
Benni.. The daughter-in-law of Yellavva!
Babu Rao? - Tell me?
You are my...
To hell with my fate.
You undeserving scoundrel!
The day you laid your eyes on me.
My son was going to chop you!
I calmed him down!
You think you have it in you to attack my son and get away unscathed?
Yellavva! Forgive me. - Son-of-a...
I was going to say it.
But my tongue refuses to utter that abuse.
Why should I hurt you and dirty my hands?
Take him out. - Drag him away.
Are you all okay?
Queen Elizabeth!
Make sure our mother's bravery is showcased well on TV.
Get a great interview of hers.
Is that supposed to be a joke?
Baabya, bring Benni home safely.
Bring everyone along too. - Okay.
Everyone come home.
Let's leave. Madam, let's go home.
We can't.
We will take a bus and leave tonight. We've some work to do.
Buddy, is it so important that you want to skip our fair?
We have a lot of work. Please, tell him.
Brother, the TV people won't come this week.
They'd called.
They'll call you before coming next week.
The TV people? - Yes, brother.
Then, who are you both?
Where are your friends? Won't they join us?
I've hung them upside down. - What?
Who? - Those sly idiots!
Who do you mean? Those TV people?
The TV people who were supposed to shoot haven't come at all.
They called us to tell that they'll come next week.
Who are these two?
How did Veerabhadra find out that I would be
...in the shed with Benni at that very hour?
Only these two people knew.
I've kicked them hard and hung them upside down.
Wait... The girl too?
What's wrong with you, dad? Just keep quiet.
Did you enquire them?
Where did they come from? Why did they come?
What was their plan?
I asked them. I stood on his chest and asked him.
The great man, Rathnakara. All he has to offer are lies.
What is it with him?
Apparently, he's my elder brother.
He claims that you aren't my birth mother.
He told me that you adopted me.
He was telling me cock and bull stories.
I thrashed him threatening to leave a mark with a branding iron on his face.
Right?
Yellavva isn't apparently my birth mother.
The one who gave birth to me is apparently elsewhere and they've come looking for me.
Is any of this believable?
Imposters!
I'd heard that a woman's arrival would turn a man's life upside down.
I'm experiencing it first-hand now.
Every time you tell the truth. We get into trouble.
Have you observed?
Why are you making faces?
Avva, some curd for me. Did you forget?
Mother?
Where did she go at this hour? For this long?
Must have had some work in the backyard.
Finish your dinner and go to bed. You must be tired.
Leave right away!
If you stay here...
Both of us are going to get into trouble.
We were about to leave. But things went out of hand.
All these years...
I'd safeguarded the truth even from the wind.
If you walk in now and create a storm,
I'm ready to fight it too.
Doesn't anybody here know that Babu Rao is not your son?
After all that chaos, did she feel dizzy and fall unconscious?
She's fit as a grinding stone.
Why will she feel dizzy?
But he's my being.
He forms the crux of my life.
He gave a purpose to the mother in me.
If God comes down and argues that Baabya is not my son...
I shall win that argument too.
I was childless.
The entire village mocked us.
The elders of the village who need to rule everyone...
...were sitting empty handed with no heir.
Our clan members had an eye on our property.
They wanted to rule our village, relinquish our riches and drown in its prosperity.
In the end, they wanted to kill us too.
To save this life and property,
We hoodwinked everyone and moved far away to Bengaluru.
Yellavva who was a Goddess to everyone in the village,
...was an ordinary labourer in Bangalore.
Your mother was a labourer in the same place as mine.
She was taking care of the children.
One in her womb and the other in her hand.
She was all alone.
But she was struggling a lot in life.
I was the first person Babu saw when he opened his eyes.
He came to this world and ended in my lap.
I don't know if the woman who gave birth to him on that day became his mother.
But I held him and became a mother.
If the child was with her, he wouldn't have survived for long.
I told her that I'll give him a life.
Baabya became mine.
We came back to our village.
We told the world that we'd been to Bengaluru for treatment to have a child.
Baabya is my son.
I am his mother.
The one you came looking for.
The one you've been doing all this for.
Your birth mother...
...is no more.
So, all these days, was I living in a castle of glass?
Please don't take away my motherhood.
Leave without making a fuss.
I'll make the necessary arrangements.
Baabya, did you come all the way here looking for me?
I was... Well...
How did you free yourself? What did you do?
Babu, let him go! - How did you free yourself?
Let him go! Was it his fault that he told the truth?
Leave his hand.
What are you saying? What truth?
That...
They both are our guests, right?
That is true, isn't it?
That's what I meant. They're not wrong.
Why are you hesitating?
What happened? Tell me!
Didn't you hear anything while you stood there?
You mean...
So, everything he told was... - I didn't mean that.
Everything he told was...
I made a mistake.
Forgive me my child. Please.
I should have told you the truth.
Babu Rao!
Shut up!
Why did you do this?
I've worshipped you as my Goddess.
How could you betray me?
Didn't it ever bother you?
Didn't you feel ashamed about it?
No.
So, the mother who gave birth to me...
Did she leave me because she didn't want me?
No.
She didn't say no to you.
I took you in because I wanted you.
I understand everything.
You wanted a son to show the world.
You got me here, to continue with your authority and pompous lifestyle.
You had me fooled, didn't you?
It could've been a lie to you, Baabya.. - Don't.
It's not just your womb that is barren, your heart is too.
Stop it!
Tell me what more you've hidden from me.
Where is my birth mother?
Tell me where she is.
I beg you. Tell me.
I want to go and see her.
TELL ME!
She's in Gokarna.
Your birth mother.
...is in Gokarna.
When we went to Gokarna temple to pray for Babu, amidst the waves we saw...
Triveni!
Triveni was right there.
We were far away on the seashore.
She was fishing.
Despite having seen her...
We distracted you and returned home.
I stopped you then.
I will stop you today.
I'll do the same in the future.
The selfishness of motherhood is still strong in me.
[FOLK SONG] Shell out money and everything you see in this world is yours.
But if you lose your mother...
If ever you lose your mother, can you ever get her back?
Brother, can you ever get her back?
Let me know when you're leaving.
I'll come to Gokarna along with you.
You're the one who initiates the fair every year.
Hundreds of people have come for you.
Will you abandon your people and go?
The village has geared up for Yellavva's procession.
Don't leave us at this moment, friend.
Udaala...
I've made it spicy just the way you like it.
It won't be as good as your mother's pickle.
Have it with Rotti. It'll be tasty.
If I've calmed down today, you're the reason for it.
If the mother is a Goddess, the son should be a God too.
May God bless this mother and son with a long and happy life.
Yellavva's son is leaving! [IN UNISON]
Boy, you're Yellavva's son, aren't you?
So, you've finally learnt about the truth, huh?
Sure, she didn't give birth to you.
But she gave you a life.
What could be the bigger truth?
Don't think that only those who share a blood relationship are meant to be our parents.
Those who nurture a child as their own, are parents nevertheless.
The entire village considers her as their mother.
She's a Goddess. If there is a re-birth, it's my wish...
...to be born in that mother's womb.
I'll take birth in her womb.
Let this go now.
We're already late for the fair.
How will the fair happen without Yellavva's son?
Get there quickly. I'm leaving now.
Let's go.
I think I made a mistake by coming here.
If I take you away from your mother, I would've committed a sin.
Thousands of people would have come to fulfil their roles in your life.
But nobody can take up Yellavva's place.
In fact, your decision to come with us today, is not yours.
It is your mother's decision.
Who is my mother?
Let that be.
Who is your mother?
Saroj...
That is all.
Rathna...
Nobody in the village addresses me as Udaal Babu Rao.
'Yellavva's son is coming.'
'Yellavva's son is leaving.'
'Yellavva's son is sitting.'
'Yellavva's son...'
Yellavva's son...
I won't come with you.
I...
I've to go back to my mother.
But...
I screwed up!
Let's go.
Father, Udaala is back.
Why are you crying? Don't cry!
I knew that you would return.
I was cracking jokes and waiting for you.
In all these years, have you ever taken my words seriously?
Will you do something if I tell you?
Tell me, father.
Go. Apologise for your mistake.
Will she forgive me?
She's a mother.
Just go and apologise.
Avva.
What happened?
Did you forget something?
I forgot my true self, Avva.
Avva...
I'll never disobey you and go anywhere else.
I won't hit anyone. I'll not utter a curse word.
From now on, whatever work you tell me to do, I shall do it.
I'll not behave like a rebel.
How could I go so wrong, Avva?
From today...
I fold my hands in front of you.
Forgive your son.
I'll fall at your feet. Forgive me.
I was wrong, Avva. I was very wrong.
You really are a rebel.
Do you know who was the first one to threaten me?
Who was it? - My barber.
He asked me to sit tight or that he would cut my ears off.
These guys didn't laugh even for this one.
Tell them another one. - Care for another joke?
There you go! Laughter!
Did the mother and son form their coalition government.
Keep quiet.
Avva is laughing too.
This calls for a selfie. - Go on.
Wait up, Daanya. Join us, girl.
Join us, Benni.
Smile.
I'll take a picture too.
How about a selfie in that camera?
Buddy, come stand by my side.
Okay, ready. Smile.
My boys will drop you till the bus stand.
Go along with them.
We'll take your leave.
Can I borrow your phone? I need to call my mother.
Rathna? What happened, my child?
You sound upset. Did you remember me?
Nothing of that sort.
Rathna, I was about to call you.
Our dog is back home.
That pooch keeps sniffing and wandering around here.
How are you, Saroja? - I'm fine.
I'm in the general ward.
I've been lying down all these days and have developed bedsores.
I keep asking for a peppermint candy but nobody bothers to get them.
I'll get the Peppermint candy while coming.
How is your pain?
The nurses touch me everywhere while bathing me.
I feel very uncomfortable.
I can't take it. The pain is unbearable.
If you want, shall we go back to Bangalore?
All these days, I was curious to know what my birth mother's life was like.
I desired to see what life would be like, if I joined her.
All that is left now is curiosity.
We've come this far.
We might end up finding my world in her life.
Excuse me? Where can I find the port manager?
Over there.
We asked around for Triveni. They lead us to you.
Triveni? Yeah.
She was working here a couple of years ago.
Everyone would affectionately call her as Theni.
Any idea where she is now?
I heard that she'd put up a petty shop in Gokarna.
By the way, how are you related to her?
Someone important.
Please take some flowers.
I'm not going to the temple, dear.
All the foreigners here buy flowers from me.
Please, sister?
I don't wear flowers. - Are you from Bengaluru?
I looked everywhere. No results.
Nobody seems to know anyone with that name.
[FLOWER SELLER] I got this from Hirannayya store.
What do we do now?
Let's book a bus ticket for the evening and leave.
Do you want some lime juice? - People here are hardly buying flowers.
How will I buy more flowers from you?
I'll see you soon. Hang up.
Please disconnect the call, Theni Akka.
Theni?
Girl, how much for some flowers?
Amma...
Hello? - Rathna!
Amma...
Amma is no more.
Your Saroja is no more.
She was fine until now.
They were planning to discharge her today.
She slept citing a chest plan and never got back up.
She kept asking about you.
"Will my Rathna return?"
She left us just like that.
Come back soon, Rathna.
Who are you?
Why are you crying?
Amma...
Tell me. - Amma...
Only if you tell me what's happening, will I know.
Why are you crying?
My mother passed away.
Oh God!
Wait a minute.
Here. Have some water.
Don't cry. Calm down.
Where are you coming from?
Where is your mother?
She's in Bangalore.
I came looking for someone else.
But Amma left me.
Your mother is lucky.
In today's world, people wait for their parents to die.
Yet, here you are.
Shedding tears for your mother.
You are a good son to her.
Can I be of help somehow?
Peppermint Candy. I want the entire box.
My Mom loves it.
The Peppermint box? Let me get it for you.
There you go.
Flowers. The entire basket.
Amma, take this. - No, dear.
You're dealing with your mother's loss.
I can't take money from you.
Wait here.
There you go.
I'll never forget your help. - Please don't say such things.
Calm down. Stay strong.
How could you do this, sir?
You promised to buy flowers from me but ended up buying from her.
Theni Akka, how could you do this?
What did your mother say? Did you tell her about yourself?
Amma... is no more.
Amma?
I need to...
I need to head to Bengaluru.
Will you take me?
Everybody's life has a story.
Pictures hung up on a wall.
Scratch marks on the face.
Breakfast prepared even before one cries out in hunger.
Warmth from your hug when I suffered from a cold fever.
Pride in your eyes when I was performing on the stage in school.
Your struggles to get me into college.
Your words of encouragement when I lost hope of finding a job.
Your protest to protect me from this world.
All of them are stories.
Stories that began from you.
Did you ever have a story of yours?
Or did you find your story in mine?
Amma... Will a thanks suffice?
I have to apologise.
For not listening to you.
For mocking you as a fool in front of the others.
For getting angry with your concerns for me.
For feeling disgusted about your love.
For not learning your value in my life.
I wonder how many dreams and aspirations you had when you held me for the first time?
I couldn't fulfil them.
I'm sorry, about everything.
You'll forgive me for sure. You're a mother after all.
As a son, I can only do one thing.
If someone asks me where I wish to go after everything is over,
I wish to hide in your womb.
That is all my world is about.
Your Rathnakara's...
No!
Your Rathna's world.
Sorry, I've dropped my plans to go to Mumbai.
Please cancel my tickets.
I'll come to work tomorrow and give you clarity.
Yes sir. Thank you.
I got a six.
Shall I pair them and defeat your pawn?
Boobamma!
You showed me your true colours!
