"Actually, I'll start /from the very beginning." "Since childhood, I've been /living in this house with... /...my grandparents and parents." "When I was eight, /my parents passed away." "My granparents brought me up." "When I was little, it's obvious /that I was a very a cute child." "People used to /pull my cheeks and say 'O so sweet'!" "This sweetness was also /my granfathers main business... /..." "Y.Y. Sweets Merchant." "In Mumbai, the branches of our /shop were more than it's greenery." "Please pack this and half a kilo of 'jalebi', brother." "Brother?" "!" "Why?" "Why?" "Sweets merchant?" "!" "My grandfather always /intruded in my love life too." "Sometimes he would call and /sometimes he would leap up... /....in between like a frog." "I never had the /chance for romance... /...so marriage is /totally out of question." "Six, six!" "Rahul, did you see how Sachin plays?" "!" "I admit that my grandfather /was a die hard fan of... /..." "Sachin Tendulkar but /he never applied the world... /...'die' in his life." "Time passed on but not him." "All my relatives settled /abroad and then came 2013... /...the 100th birthday /of my grandfather." "Once again, all my /relatives get together again." "The two tragedies /of my life came too... /...my two friends, /Bobby and Salim." "Hi Rahul." " Hi." "All set for Goa?" " Goa?" "Once you reach there, don't be naughty at forty, okay?" "You two better mind your own business." "Tanu, can you help me decerate this?" "What are the two of you up to?" "Not only us, it's for all of us." "Rahul, it's grandfather birthday but we brought you a gift." "Hot NRI girls!" "I've spoken th them." "We'll be with them in Goa for 6 days, 7 nights, package fix!" "What kind of friends are you?" "That too for one week?" "!" "How will grandfather let me go for a week?" "Salim, one second." "I'll be back." "He's an idiot, you are one too." "Rahul, come here." "Grandfather." "You come with me." "Yes, grandpa." "You brought me a gift?" "Yes." "You haven't opened the gifts given by Brother Vimal Sister Renu and the others." "That is from others, not your own." "I'm going to be a hundred." "I'll tell you something genuine." "They like me because we are related." "You love me, that is why we have this bond." "I'm wondering what'll happen to you once I'm gone, Rahul." "No, grandpa." "Look at that." "I've started talking about leaving." "I'm still young." "Why talk about something that is to happen 20-25 years later?" "Come, show it to me." "Wow!" "A bat with Sachin's autograph on it?" "!" "Hit the boundary." "Swing your bat." "Grandpa, Rahul has an idea to open a franchise of your shop in Goa too." "Open it!" "Open it!" "Why are you batting so slowly?" "Grandpa, we found an appropriate plet in Panjim." "Grandpa, can we go there with Rahul to finalize the plot?" "Go, go!" "Okay!" "Sachin, plaease hit the ball outside the boundary." "Six!" "Sachin is on 99!" "Sachin is on 99!" "Old woman." "Sachin is on 99!" "He goes for 99!" "What, grandma?" "Why are you reacting se much for a century?" "It's just a game." "He'll make it some other time." "Grandpa?" "!" "Both grandpa and /Sachin get out at 99!" "It was a strange feeling /but then." "I read something." "A person's death is /predestined even before his birth." "I thought to myself that /if what happened had to happen... /...then how does it matter?" "After all, grandpa lived from... /...the era od All India Radio /to that of Twitter." "He lived a really long life." "Thus, at that very momemnt, /I made a decision." "Goa is on." "Grandma, I want to do something else in life." "I want to do what my heart says." "I cannot handle Y. Y. Mithaiwala anymore." "Grandma, I have my own dreams too." "So far, I've just let my age catch on but now I want to see the world and learn things." "Grandma, I want to live life my own way." "Rahul, with the property, you've alse become the master of your own self." "Live your life as you wish." "Nobody is stopping you but you'll have to do something for me." "Tell me, grandma." "It was your grandfather's last wish that after his death half of his ashes should be immersed into River Ganga and the remaining half in Rameshwaram." "Rameshwaram?" " Yes, I'll go with Anju to the Ganga and immerse half of his ashes but you'll have to go to Rameshwaram with remaining ashes." "Grandma, me?" " Yes, you." "This was your grandfather's last wish and you'll have to fulfill it." "Rameshwaram is at the end of India that too exactly the opposite direction of Goa." "One minute, guys." "Salim, give it to me." "The waters od Goa must be flowing to Rameshwaram, right?" "What do you mean?" " It means that if we immerse grandpa's ashes in the waters od Goa it'll float and eventually reach Rameshwaram, right?" "What are you saying?" "Where is Goa and where is Rameshwaram?" "Goa is here and here is Rameshwaram." "It means, Goa is on!" "Yes, Rahul." "Bobby, change of plan." "What?" " You're coming to Goa, right?" "Of course I'm coming but to dodge grandma." "I'll have to start my journey by train." " What?" "Grandma is coming to see me off, so in the next two hours I'll buy a ticket to any train going ro South India." "I'll board it but will get off at Kalyan Station." "You wait for me there and from there, we'll go by road." "Which means, Goa is on!" "Let's go, grandpa!" "Chennai Express?" " Yes, Chennai Express." "As far as I know, Chennai Express doesn't go to Rameshwaram." "You didn't understand." "I told you I want to spend more time with grandpa, that's why I am taking the long route." "I'll get off at Chennai and take grandpa to Rameshwaram by road." "Rahul, do you know why I'm taking grandpa's ashes tp the Ganga?" "It's because I don't trust anyone here but have complete trust in you that you'll immerse grandpa's ashes with full respect-in the waters od Rameshwaram." "I didn't like /lying to grandma... /...but I had /already done that." "Hello?" "Rahul, where are you?" "We have already reached Kalyan." "I just boarded the train after saying goodbye to grandma." "I'll be there." "Yes!" "Rahul is here!" "Rahul, where were you?" "I've come, right?" "Patience serves best." " Now we'll have complete fun!" "Yes!" "Fun!" "Fun!" " What happened now?" "The ashes!" "Granpa's ashes." " Rahul..." "Granpa!" " Rahul!" "Thanks." " No, it's okay." "I've done it before." " Actually!" "..." "Sorry, I have to go." "Meena, what did you think?" "You could get away form us?" "What you are doing is totally wrong." "Don't tell us what is right or wrong." "Excuse me." "Why are you fighting?" "People miss their train and you made me miss my platform." "Meema!" "Relax, don't be angry." "Chennai Express." "Hi." "That's my seat." "My seat." "May I?" "Thank you." "Sorry." "Sorry to you, sir." "I'll remove this bag." "Nonsense!" "I'm sorry." "I'm a little fat, huh?" "Sorry." "It's mine." "Hello." "Rahul, where are you?" "I'm in the train." " In the train?" "I didn't get the chance to get off." "So, this is what we'll do." "We'll meet at Karjat Station." "Listen, don't worry about me." "I've got beautiful company." "She is right in front of me." "What hair!" "What beautiful eyes!" "What lips!" "You're naming her body parts in front of her." "Isn't she wearing sandals?" "She doesn't know Hindi." "Hey wait!" "She's looking at me." "She's probably showing love with her eyes." "Please check that she's not blind." "Shut up but she might blindly fall in love with me in a while." "Listen, we'll meet at Karjat Station." "Till then, I'll try to woo her." "I might bring her along." "When I saw you, beloved." "I knew that /love is crazy, beloved." "Now where do I go..." "Who told you... /...that I don't /understand Hindi?" "The people whom you gave your hand to... /...were here to kidnap me." "" " Kidnap?" "I'm in a big problem." "Will you help me now?" "Speak to me /throught songs only... /...so they /wont be suspicious." "Please forgive me /for I have made a mistake." "I had no idea /that tou know Hindi." "I'll do as you say now." "Since I've made a mistake... /...so I'll pay the penalty." "Hi!" "Don't you worry." "I'm here." "Meena, you sing." "Then please /go to the toilet." "Then please /go to the toilet." "Toilet?" "I wonder why you're /sending me to the toilet?" "What is it that you want to do?" "Just tell me." "Your... /I'll use your /phone to make a call." "Okay." "" " I'll inform my friends."

"Run away?" "Don't worry." "I've quite." "...an expenence in running away." "My family." "Seeing Meena's small family /reminded me of China's population." "Meena began telling them /the story of Chennai Express." "As the story progressed, /everyone seemed to get more... /...impressed with me but I was depressed." "My mind was stressed /because the ambience of... /...the place I had /arrived was dangerous." "Every one was trying to /please me but a goat also... /...gets the same treatment /before it is sacrificed." "How many times have I asked Bobby to get a fancy number but no." "The numbers of the persons I was trying to contact... /... were all denied /to the reach of my brain." "This mobile technology has /connected us with our mothers... /...and sisters but this /technology has also messed us up." "When there were no mobile phones, /we remembered all the numbers." "Now with mobiles around, we don t remember any number." "Meena!" "What is your plan of getting out of this place?" "Menna, don't ignore me." "Enough of this drama." "I'm losing my patience."

"Madhi, come here." "Where is he?" "Rahul?" "Hello?" "You're so smart." "Why are you jabbering in Tamil?" "Speak in Hindi." "You are very beautiful." "Wow, you've learnt to speak proper Tamil in a day?" "I love you so much." "What are you doing?" "Meena, I'm not of that type." "Please." "Meena?" "Rahul." "Madhi?" "Puvi." "What are you doing here?" "They came here." "We just followed them." "Tell them." "Yes!" "Let's go." "You may go." "You naughty!" "What's the hurry?" "Was it so urgent?" "You naughty!" "Come along." "Meena, I want to get out of here." "Please do something." "Do?" "Naughty!" "No, not naughty." "I'm doing fine." "Greetings." "Coffe?" "Just joking!" "Thanks." "Singh, we need to take a decision in this matter." "A Sardar?" "That too here?" "We need to make a decision." "We should't feel bad after making a decision, so we'll think and make a decision." "You are right but tell Meena that....." "A Sardar speaking Tamil?" "With the boy she should not....." "One minute." "This is great!" "So you're Rahul, right?" "Yes." "How did you know?" "It's the job of a policeman to identify,a dead body." "A dead body?" "But I'm still....." "If you're not one yet, you will be soon." "Anyways, I'm Inspector Shamsher from Punjab." "Okay, sir." "Which part?" "Which part?" "The whole body." "I'm in charge of this area." "You have a lot of guts." "You fell in love with Meena Lochni, even after knowing it'll be like messing with Tangaballi." "No, not at all!" "These people here have misunderstood." "Actually, these guys are trying to frame me." "Your frame will decorate this wall and a garland will also be placed on your photograph." "Garland?" "No, sir." "This is against the law." "Look at that!" "You should have thought of it before falling in love." "Tangaballi is coming!" "Tangaballi is on the way." "I got to know Meena broaght somebody with her this time." "Yes." "What can we do?" "What is he saying?" "Tangaballi is asking about you." "What is the father saying?" "He is saying it's because of you Meena keeps runing away from home again and again." "My marriage with Meena is already fixed." "You're right." "The marriage..." "Now what is he saying?" "The father said that Tangaballi is his first choice for Meena but he is helpless." "What can he do if Meena's first choice is you." "No, no, no!" "I'm not here to decide what is right and wrong." "Now it's the question of my prestige." "Sir what is he saying now?" "The father is saying that they should sit together and reach a decision to solve this." "Not him." "What is that tall guy saying?" "He's saying that it's not about right or wrong anymore." "Now it's a matter of his pride." "If it's matter of his pride, why is he..." "Mr. Singn, don't worry." "I'm here, okay?" "Hi." "You are the one who wants to marry Meena?" "Yes." "At least listen first" "It's okay." "I'll handle it." "Who do you think you are, a hero?" "Yes." "Listen please." "Big people are talking!" "He is joking with me." "If you're a real man, fight with me." "Natural." "It's God's gift, like you." "We'll fight tonight." "If you win, Meena will be yours." "If I win, Meena will be mine." "What say you?" "Yo bro!" "He is do tall, right?" "What was he saying?" "Raise your volume, Mr. Singh." "Speak, don't be afraid." "He has challenged you." "What?" "You and he will have a fight tonight." "Why?" "Yes, and whoever wins, will get Meena." "Why?" "Fool!" "You aceepted the challenge too!" "But I don't even understand Tamil." "I just nod my head." "Meena told me to nod my head." "You'll come alive." "Okay." "You'll not go alive." "Never, sir." "I'll cut you into pieces and parcel it." "That's wnat I was saying." "Peace, love, affection, friendship Mr. Gandhi." "Why didn't you tell me earner what he was saying?" "I told you!" "You were only tickling me." "What do you think?" "Yes?" "Let's see." "What?" "We'll see."
