"There's something I must tell you." "I love you." "I'm coming to tell you that." "I cannot let my silence smother our love to death" "Do you see that mad man running to save his love?" "My name is Suri." "I live in Kunavaram, a small village." "Uma and I grew up in this village here, fell in love here." "Ours is a typical village love story." "These days we get the latest merchandise in our villages." "Diet Cokes, Branded Jeans, Fascial." "Yet, lives in our village are bound strongly by sentiments and relationships." "I believe everybody has a love story." "Mine started earlier than most." "That's my mother." "This, my father." "My maternal grandmother, grandfather..." "My poor naive aunt." "And my maternal uncle Ranga Raju." "He's like the old movie villain, Rao Gopal Rao." "He occupied the mansion my grandfather gifted to my mother on her wedding." "And gifted us this tiny outhouse!" "If this little gate represents the love between our families, this long wall is the distance between us!" "Get set, everyone, here comes..." "the King of Kunavaram, Suri!" "Doctor, the baby is not crying." "do something please" "Everybody prayed for me to cry out loud." "So I did." "Loud and clear." "And never stopped." "I cried unabashedly, unreservedly from that moment." "I made everyone cry." "Soon I earned the title 'Cry Baby'." "Some couldn't handle my crying and shut their ears." "Some shut their doors." "But they couldn't shut my mouth." "September 14th, 1994." "That was the day they stopped paying attention to me." "However much I cried." "It was when I first heard the sound of laughter next door." "It took me 3 months to discover the source." "Look at your pretty cousin Uma." "See, how happy she is." "Not like you." "Cry baby." "My mom was shocked when she heard me laughing." "I shocked myself too." "The cry baby finally found a way to laugh." "By making Uma cry." "And I could do this all my life." "Suri... see that big mango?" "Can you get it for me please?" "I will." "But only if you play the 'Mummy Daddy' game with me." "Hmm." "What did you cook for me?" "Banana curry." "Phoo." "Who eats bananas?" "Not me." "Cook some spicy chicken curry." "Sure, my lord" "This is awful stuff!" "Absolutely tasteless." "Add some salt right now!" "Ok, my lord." "Suri." "Mango?" "I am not done yet." "Massage my feet first." "Suri, I'm really hungry." "Please get me the mango." "Hmm." "Ok." "But will you massage my other foot after that?" "Sure, my lord." "Hey!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Or else..." "Sob... sob." "Ha ha... ha ha" "This is the open card." "Your turn to play my friend." "I'll teach you a lesson." "I'll tell your mom that you are gambling." "I'll see that you get a nice thrashing." "Go, tell her!" "You watch what I do to you." "Aunty." "Suri is gambling near the fields." "When I told him you won't like it, he said he is not scared of you!" "What?" "Gambling?" "Where is that rascal?" "Aunty, I saw Uma and Murali playing that 'Mummy-Daddy' game in the fields." "What?" "Mummy-Daddy?" "Where is she?" "Suri... come here right now!" "Mummy..." "I won't gamble again." "Stop hitting me." "Mummy Daddy!" "What games are these that you play instead of studying?" "Ha ha." "Got you thrashed didn't I?" "Don't mess with me, ok?" "Hmmph!" "It didn't hurt at all." "But you got a sound thrashing." "Nonsense!" "It didn't hurt me at all." "Didn't hurt?" "Really?" "Let's see..." "Arre Suri." "Can you drive slowly please?" "Suri, I'm all shaken up inside man." "Arggh!" "And this stink makes it worse!" "In a while fellows." "We'll drop this load and go straight into town." "Can't miss out on fun on Sankranti, can we?" "Are you taking good care of the droppings?" "Yeah." "It's fine." "Though we aren't." "So far, I've told you all I cared to remember in my life." "Now, the forgettable parts." "When I was 10, my Dad passed away." "At 17, my school didn't pass me." "At 20, my Uncle got me a lousy job." "And my boss passed me over." "I wasn't going anywhere." "So I started my own business." "The lucrative chicken-droppings business." "Low investment, high returns." "What's this chicken droppings business about?" "It works like this." "People like eating fish." "And fish like eating chicken droppings." "I supply chicken droppings to fish farms." "Not just one business though," "I grab every profitable opportunity that satisfies some need and do anything to make money." "Long as it doesn't hurt anyone and long as I keep my mother happy." "Urgent, stop the vehicle please." "Oye Suri." "The droppings are dropping out of the tractor." "Saw that?" "He cares more about the chicken droppings than our comfort." "Take care of the load." "Don't let the droppings drop off." "Take care of what?" "This treasure here?" "Another word from you, and you'll get a taste of that treasure." "That might unsettle your insides some more!" "Arre please." "Slow down Suri." "No point telling him anything." "Ever." "So that's me, all grown up." "Let's see what Uma Devi has grown up into." "Looks all innocent and gullible doesn't she?" "She's nothing of that kind." "What now?" "Look." "What a lovely rangoli Suri!" "My rangoli is simply outstanding isn't it?" "If it were a contest I'd get the 1st prize right." "Now let's get some flowers to decorate this." "No." "I won't." "Don't come then." "You jealous thing!" "I can't let such a wonderful opportunity go." "Where are you going?" "To decorate the beautiful rangoli." "Man, this is the big daddy of decorations." "Where's your sister?" "She's plucking flowers in the garden." "Hey Uma Devi, I have given you the 1st prize for your rangoli." "What?" "What have you done?" "Stop, you rogue." "I am going to kill you." "Stop." "Aunty!" "Aunty!" "What?" "Do you know what Suri did?" "What did he do?" "He dropped his chicken droppings on my beautiful rangoli." "Where is he?" "Call him." "He ran away, that scoundrel." "Ruined my entire work." "I'll make you another rangoli in the evening." "Spare me now." "I have tons to work to do." "Aunty!" "I have lots of stuff to finish, it's festival day today." "Will you do it for me?" "I promise I'll do a rangoli for you later." "Do it properly." "You're painting all over my hands." "That's because your hands don't stop shaking." "No." "My hands are not shaking." "It's you who cannot do a good job." "Uma, why the long face?" "Suri dropped his chicken droppings on my rangoli." "He's teasing you as always." "All in good humour dear." "Teasing me eh?" "Gimme back my nail polish right now." "Hey, wait." "I still have 2 more nails left to polish." "Whitewash them." "Give her the nail polish, poor thing." "I won't, she's always supporting that Suri." "Your dad is back, go serve him tea." "Go do it yourself." "You people never take me seriously." "You always support Suri." "I will deal with him myself." "What?" "He is organising a dance show?" "Yes, let's go and watch." "He dances like a movie star." "Movie star?" "Him?" "With that beard like a cat's whiskers?" "How can you say that?" "With his style, his smile, he is like Mahesh Babu with a moustache." "Mahesh babu?" "!" "Are you cross-eyed?" "That crooked toothed scoundrel?" "So what?" "I like my men to be rough." "Suri is hot and handsome." "Hot?" "As in?" "Hot..." "like a 'Mirchi bajji'." "Anyways you can't handle that." "Eat your bland gupchup." "I'm off now." "I need to get dressed for the dance." "Bye." "It's late." "Where are they?" "Hey, stop stop stop stop." "Hey, Ileana, Tamanna, Anushka." "Get off the car." "Stop this crowd." "Kodhandam, take the girls inside." "Suri, did you organize the live dance show this evening?" "Will these girls put up a rocking show?" "I'll come around by at 7:00 p.m. then." "Sure." "But get 1000 bucks along." "I can't pay 1000 bucks." "What do you think this is?" "A free show?" "Hey, don't forget to collect 1000 bucks from him." "Move on now." "Hey Bujji, why are you gaping like that?" "Do you like any of those girls?" "Don't be shy, you can tell me." "I like the one in the red." "The one in red?" "You have superb taste." "Do you want to run away and marry her?" "My mom told me she's getting me married this year." "Not likely if you ask me." "Come along this evening." "I'll do some match fixing for you." "My mother will kill me if she finds out." "Get the money and come along quietly." "For your honeymoon before your marriage!" "Pom pom goes auto Appa Rao" "Pom pom goes auto Appa Rao" "Peep Peep goes Scooter Subba Rao" "Krishna Krishna Mukunda Janardhana" "Krishna Govinda Narayana Hari" "I can blow up a storm like the Andhra soda" "This song will shut them up" "I can blow up a storm like the Andhra soda" "Now the honey dripping off your lips has caught my fancy" "Why don't you lend it all to me" "I'll pay you loads of interest" "Arre, what kind of a torture is this" "Jaya Krishna Hare, Jaya Rama hare" "Jaya Murali..." "Hey you delicious, lip-smacking girl" "You've looted all I have and gone away" "Hey beautiful, dear beautiful, my dear..." "What's this nonsense?" "Who's doing this?" "Venkataramana..." "Ringa, Ringa, Ringa Ringa, Ringa Ringa re" "Come on guys, get some peppy numbers going" "Jaya Jaya Rama, Janaki Rama" "I'm a posh pardesi, back from foreign lands" "Sing louder" "Jaya Jaya Rama, Janaki Rama" "My real name I must tell you, it's Andreana..." "Ayyo, ayyo, what a grave sin!" "They are corrupting our holy bhajans." "If we don't deal with them now they will start dancing in the temple itself." "Come on." "Let's go." "He will not learn how to behave unless we thrash him soundly." "What are you waiting for?" "Give it to them." "Leave those sidekicks." "Teach their leader a lesson..." "that chicken poop guy" "I'll make you do a cabaret dance, you..." "Uma Devi, Stop, stop." "I'll get you for this." "I knew when they started singing bhajans that Uma Devi would perform some ceremony on us." "You guys watch." "I'll get back at her." "And get us thrashed some more." "Suri, Sunitha's is ringing her bell." "For you" "Shut up." "Suri." "My cycle chain has slipped." "Will you fix it for me please?" "Go Suri." "The poor girl is pleading so pitifully, go fix her chain." "Suri!" "Sunitha, can I fix it for you?" "You shut up." "I'll knock your teeth in." "Suri, please!" "What happened?" "The chain slipped." "I can see that." "How?" "Don't know." "It slipped suddenly when I came here." "Ok." "Park the cycle." "Payback time." "Thank you Suri." "Oh no!" "Your hands are all greasy." "I'll keep it as your memento." "You can use my dress to wipe your hands." "Oye!" "Nothing." "My cycle chain slipped." "Suri helped me to put it back." "That's all." "Did I ask you for your explanations?" "Let's go!" "Bye, Sunitha." " Bye." "Tomorrow then?" "Hey, she's my best friend." "If you mess with her, you're dead." "If you can't handle seeing us together, that's your problem." "She might be your friend, but now she's my girl." "You're deceiving an innocent girl." "I won't let her fall for your dirty tricks..." "Let me see how you stop her." "She's too far gone already." "A few more days and she'll be..." "Lapak Lapak." "What's that?" "Ask her." "She'll give you all the details." "Lapak, lapak" "As good as done ...lapak lapak..." "As good as done" "Lapak..." "lapak" "There's mischief afoot here..." "Better find out soon" "I'm scared to imagine all that might happen before I find out what they're upto" "She's oh-so- sweet and he is quick silver how can I stop these two?" "She is spicy he is raw passion how do I lower this rising BP?" "Ayyo, how far will this go, I wonder" "But I will find a way and end his game plan, somehow" "Your dress, it's so pretty" "I adore your shirt" "Check out my new fragrance" "It's so intoxicating" "Yeah!" "That's why I've got it on" "My god, she's here" "Don't be so scared, what's she to us" "No one can stop us now, we're hooked up step outside those lines and see" "Come dear let's go there or here far away!" "See you at 7 at the shady grove all ready for love" "I told you to stay away from him, why do you keep running after him?" "He is a waste, you're making a fool of yourself" "You don't like him anyway, so what's your problem if I run after him?" "You're jealous because he likes me" "What he does, is really no concern of mine" "You dumbwit, why don't you understand that you'll be the laughing stock" "He is no good, a trickster" "I'm concerned about you why don't you listen to me?" "Osey" "Promise me you will never meet him again it's me or him for you" "If you don't promise me now, it's curtains for our friendship" "He thinks he can challenge me, the fool" "With this victory of mine I'll see him grovel!" "You lost my dear, it's all over for you" "It's not over yet, I still have an ace up my sleeve" "She will never look at you again you fool, you don't know the tricks I played" "Don't be so overconfident dear, you don't know me yet," "I can turn on my magic" "Poor chap, I pity you." "You're still dreaming, you're losing your mind" "Not me, but I assure you..." "you'll lose it today" "There is no one here what do you think we should do now" "Don't you think we could have some real fun now?" "I'd like to, but fate is keeping us apart what to do?" "I gave my word Suri I can't break it, let us sacrifice our love" "Oye, Sunita" "Oh my god, she's here I will leave now" "Don't be so scared I am here for you" "I will count ten" "If you don't come here before I get to ten, you are done" "One, two, three" "Look deeply into my eyes dear" "Four, five, six" "I'm losing control" "Seven eight nine" "Something is stirring deep inside me" "Nine... nine and a quarter, nine and a half... ten" "You crazy girl, you can stop counting she is never going to leave me now" "You got together and tricked me I will get back at you both" "You go away, we don't need you poking your nose between us" "And while at that take a good look in the mirror" "I have had enough of you Pie face!" "Now get lost" "Get lost." "Go to hell." "I don't need any friends." "Sorry, sorry." "I hope you're not hurt?" "I'm sorry." "I wasn't looking." "No, no." "It's my mistake actually." "I saw you..." "and I just couldn't help falling." "Hello. 10 truck loads?" "We can't supply chicken droppings whenever you want." "You have to wait." "So many hens and we're still short." "Why aren't these hens pooping enough?" "Suri babu, your uncle took an advance from me to supply fertilizer." "Now he says there's no stock." "And no money." "I've been trying to recover my money for a month now." "Is that so?" "I know how to deal with him." "Come with me." "Ok" "Why's this shop always dark?" "Does he not pay the electricity bills?" "Let me go dear." "Something's amiss here." "Now I understand why it's always dark here." "Hey, is that you Satyavathi!" "You started door delivery too eh?" "Don't blush like that." "Be careful with my uncle though." "Take my advice and stick to cash-and-carry mode with him." "Else you may get fertiliser in return for your services." "Not good for your line of business." "Why are you here?" "What do you want?" "You appear terribly busy, Uncle." "Anyway, this man came for his money." "Can't you wait?" "I told you already I'll give you fertilizer when stocks come." "I keep my word." "Why do you lie, Uncle?" "What will you do with all that money anyway?" "You have to give it away for your daughters dowry." "I will do what I please." "It's my money." "What's your problem?" "Sure." "Throw your money around if you wish." "But return this man's money." "He is threatening to approach the village panchayat." "Better settle it here." "My mistake." "Taking advances from fools like you." "Come and collect your money tomorrow." "Ok sir." "Get lost now!" "Move aside!" "Hey, chinna!" "Headed home?" "Pakodi uncle?" "They're hot." "Like your temper." "No?" "Ok" "What Suri?" "How come the uncle and nephew are together?" "Where are you coming from?" "From another aunty, Grandpa!" "What?" "Didn't hear that clearly." "Grandpa, at your age, it's better you don't hear some things!" "Grandma!" "Why are you wobbling like you're possessed?" "Your grandma is sitting and walking, Suri." "Silly girl." "This is a "Morning walker"." "Makes one slim and beautiful." "Saw it on TV and bought it." "Mother, you cannot believe all that they say on television." "Stop this machine now." "See how slim I have become already!" "Madam, that will be the day." "Don't listen to her Grandma." "You look so slim and beautiful already!" "You could easily pass off as granddad's daughter now." "Really!" "Suri, stop it." "She'll start hunting for grooms from tomorrow." "You stop it now." "Uma!" "Where are you?" "Uma!" "What are you doing?" "I saw you... and I just couldn't help falling..." "Uma!" "Get some tea for Suri!" "Tea" "Good girl." "Girls ought to be like you." "Come." "Eat this chicken pakodi." "You're studying your 9th class, right?" "I'll wait for a couple of years for you." "Eat well and grow nice and healthy." "Then we'll get married." "Ok?" "This is for you." "Don't give that devil even one piece." "Ok!" "Mom, I'm going home" "Ok" "Did you hear him speak?" "So brash and uncouth." "Has no idea what to speak and when." "That's quite normal at his age." "It's high time now." "Let's get Suri and Uma married this year." "What?" "Marry my daughter to that useless, chicken poop fellow?" "You know what he did today?" "He called me a liar, a cheat in public." "That rascal." "Said he will drag me to the panchayat to force me to return someone's money." "Why would I get my daughter married to someone like that?" "My daughter will get married into a rich family." "It's best everyone knows their stature around here." "I don't want anyone interfering with my daughter's marriage." "You understand?" "Mom!" "Where's my comb?" "What's wrong now?" "Tell me what happened?" "Nothing." "Tell me." "Will you?" "Don't go near Uma anymore." "Do you think I've nothing better to do than run after her?" "Your Uncle wants to get Uma married to someone else." "They'll get her married off soon." "So?" "I'm not dying to marry her Mom." "Listen." "Think of the ideal daughter-in-law for you." "She should treat you well." "Do all your work." "Treat you like a goddess." "Get loads of money along." "Uma Devi is not the ideal daughter-in-law." "She will make you massage her feet." "We'll have to sell off our entire property to feed her and maintain her." "Do we need her to add to our woes?" "Ideally, if we get a rich landlord's only daughter," "Preferably someone they are not able to marry off, then we've hit jackpot." "Respect... money..." "There, that's more like it." "Keep smiling Mom." "Don't bother about Uma Devi anymore." "Excuse me!" "How do you know my name?" "I found out." "That I am capable of loving someone so intensely." "That the word's prettiest girl exists for me in this very village." "I found out everything about you!" "Why is the ink fading off here?" "Did you run out of ink?" "No." "My body ran out of blood." "What?" "You wrote this letter with your blood?" "Yes." "But there are conditions." "Wait, wait, wait." "Not here on the road." "It's not the right place." "Relax!" "No one from your village comes here." "Go ahead." "Order whatever you want." "One vanilla milkshake, one butter scotch ice cream, one black currant ice cream, pineapple pancake." "Ok madam." "So, what did you study?" "Engineering." "Got a job in the UK." "But I rejected it." "I want to set up a software company here." "I am working on that now." "Ok." "Do you smoke?" "No." "But I can learn how to if you want." "No." "I can't stand cigarette smoke." "I hate smokers and drinkers!" "Really?" "There's no problem then." "I hate drinking too." "Now tell me your conditions." "You must buy me all that I ask for." "You must do whatever I tell you to." "Never question me." "Never glance at any other girl." "Never make me angry." "Love me loads and loads." "Treat me like an angel." "That's exactly how I feel about you." "You are my goddess Uma." "You're my whole wide world." "Why didn't you answer when I called you last night?" "Oh that!" "I wanted to meet you directly!" "Really?" "What now?" "Shall we go somewhere?" "WAIT... be quiet..." "What do you wish to do now my dear?" "How about a movie?" "Which movie would you like to see?" "Excuse me!" "What?" "She ignored us completely." "She's jealous." "She can't handle the fact that we're in love." "That's why she's angry." "I don't think so." "She didn't even look at us." "That's not possible." "Something's going on." "Go." "Find out what it is." "But she stopped talking to me." "So you talk to her." "Why should I?" "I'm no less." "She's stupid." "You are smart." "Talk to her." "For my sake." "Please!" "Please!" "Please!" "Alright!" "For you." "Sorry Uma." "That day, I didn't come when you called me." "It's ok." "These petty things don't bother me anymore." "Thanks Uma..." "so we're friends again!" "Yeah, we could be." "But I don't have much time these days." "Let's see." "Hey, I want to show you something." "How do you like this?" "My new key chain." "Wow!" "Where did you get it?" "It's a gift!" "And this!" "Wow!" "Make up kit." "So many shades!" "Another gift?" "Who's giving you so many gifts?" "I have so many more gifts at home you know." "Won't you tell me who gave you so many gifts?" "Please!" "Hasn't your boyfriend, that chicken poop Suri, given you any gifts?" "He's such a waste anyway." "Can't expect him to give you any gifts." "Oye!" "There's Uma Devi!" "Quick." "Start the bike." "Need to go urgently!" "Urgent?" "Need to go?" "Go behind those bushes." "You idiot Not that!" "Start the bike." "Quick!" "Why are we following Uma Devi of all people?" "She's got a boyfriend I believe." "I want to see what's going on." "Nonsense!" "You've become very negative in your thinking these days." "Shut up and follow her." "I'm negative huh!" "Why is she by the river side?" "She must be a nature lover." "Like me." "Admiring the view perhaps?" "Is that the nature she is in love with?" "That must be the guy!" "Nah!" "Some passerby asking for directions, if you ask me!" "Where do you think she's going with your passerby?" "Maybe they're studying together?" "Maybe you'll get one tight slap now Let's go closer." "Sorry Pardhu." "I made you wait again today." "For you, I can wait forever dear." "You know I couldn't sleep a wink last night." "Despite the A/C running full tilt." "Your thoughts flooded my mind all night." "Here's a gift for you." "Lip Stick?" "Thank you Pardhu!" "Uma, won't you give me something that reminds me of you?" "Tell me what you want." "How about your ring?" "This ring?" "Here." "No I can't take it." "It's made of gold!" "No." "You must." "Thank you Uma!" "Wow!" "Must be the owner of that showroom." "He appears to be a rich guy." "May I help you sir?" "I want that bike." "You need to book it 6 months in advance sir." "I want that bike." "Right now!" "Why don't you call your boss?" "He's a mechanic?" "That is my bike, Sir." "Why don't you sell it to me?" "It's not available in the market sir." "How much does it cost?" "About 150, 000 rupees sir." "Do you think girls will fall for this bike?" "Sir, this bike works like magic." "You ride it, and girls swoon." "Aha, Is that so?" "Come, let's go for a test ride." "Sure Sir." "Give me 2 minutes." "I'll change." "Ok." "Sir!" "Please sir, slow... sir!" "Slow sir." "Such an expensive bike should fly, not go slow." "I am getting scared." "Scared?" "Hang on to me." "Sir!" "Please slow down sir." "I'll fall!" "You'll fall?" "But you said girls would fall?" "Why did your bike stop?" "Might have run out of fuel sir." " Get off." "You cheat!" "Trying to palm off this junk for 150,000?" "You think I am a dumbass?" "Sir, what are you doing sir?" "Useless junk." "Where did you get it from?" "Show me the papers." "Why are you sweating?" "Do you want the A/C running full tilt while I thrash you?" "Sir!" "Oh sir!" "Aah!" "This is our secret rendezvous." "You know, he buys me all that I ask for." "I tried everything on this menu" "Yeah, and now you're chewing my brains as well." "He gives me gifts every day." "I only have to ask and he'll lay down his life for me!" "Sure, must be dying to do that." "He'll die for me." "He's probably lying dead somewhere." "That's why he hasn't come here yet." "His phone is switched off." "Really?" "Is this what he does for you?" "Switch off his phone?" "You jealous pig..." "He is not into some stupid chicken poop business." "He is a computer engineer." "Not like Suri, always loitering around." "He's a busy man." "Look, you want to praise your guy, do it." "Don't drag my Suri's name into this." "This horrid scar mars all my beauty." "All because of that scoundrel." "Why are you blaming my Suri for your scar?" "It was all his fault that I fell and got hurt." "Enough!" "I am going." "Are you coming?" "Why so subdued today?" "Because he didn't come?" "He won't anymore." "You go in." "Forget about him." "Sorry Pardhu!" "That fellow is my cousin." "I'll avenge this." "It's ok Uma." "I can handle any amount of pain for you." "But there are more and more enemies out to destroy our love." "Who?" "Suri, and now my dad too!" "Your Dad?" "Yes Uma." "He wants me to marry a rich girl." "He wants a dowry of 40 million." "He's forcing me." "What do they think I am?" "Some commodity to trade?" "If we want each other the only option is to elope and get married." "What?" "Elope?" "Yes Uma!" "What if my dad forces me to get married to that rich girl?" "He'll do anything for money." "You'll come with me won't you?" "I am scared." "Scared?" "But don't you love me?" "Not that." "I didn't mean it that way." "No Uma, where there is fear there is no love." "Where there is love there can be no fear." "Hey!" "I heard this line before!" "It's from a famous movie, right?" "What?" "Here I am, worried to death and all you can think of is movies?" "No one loves me!" "Not my dad, not you." "No one." "Living is pointless." "Here's some water." "Do you know what these pills are?" "Cold tablets?" "Sleeping pills!" "No." "It's true Uma." "If you don't come with me I have no option but to die." "Like you've said, let's elope!" "I didn't know what I was saying." "Here, drink your milk." "You too, Uma" "I don't want it." "I've already got your milk." "Drink it up." "I don't want it, Mom." "Ok." "Hello." "Are you ready?" "I'm very scared." "If you say that again I'll kill myself." "Listen, I have no money." "Get some jewellery along when you come." "OK" "Don't worry." "I'm there for you." "I'll call again." "Aah!" "I'll kill you." "It happened because of you." "You didn't bring her up properly." "I told you not to, but you sent her to college, gave her a mobile." "Now see what happened." "Suri, please go and bring her back home from wherever she is." "Please." "Bring her home?" "I will kill her if I ever see her again!" "No one needs to go looking for her." "You shut up and go inside now!" "Uma?" "What's this I heard?" "Is it true?" "Where are you now?" "I am in tension." "Tension?" "Where's that?" "You dimwit!" "I'm tense." "Oh!" "But where exactly are you tense?" "I think it is a village called "Tuni"!" "They are in "Tuni" now" "Let's go." "Who's that?" "My friend Sunitha." "Why did you tell her where we are?" "She asked." "So I told her." "Why did we get off the bus?" "We cannot trust anyone, Uma." "You told your friends where we are." "We have to be very careful." "But don't worry." "I'll take care of everything." "Come, give me your bag." "It's ok." "It's not heavy!" "I am scared." "Should we go home?" "I'm here?" "Don't worry?" "Why are we waiting here?" "I asked my friends to pick us up in their car." "Do you want to drink some water?" "Ok." "Where are you guys?" "Get here quickly." "So I can get my hands on the gold." "And you can get your golden girl." "Why don't you freshen up?" "Pardhu!" "The jewellery is not in that bag." "I've kept it safe." "Oh!" "Where?" "Here, in this bag." "Look, my friends have arrived." "Let's go!" "Your friends don't look very friendly." "Don't go by their looks." "They are absolute gentlemen!" "Go, don't be scared!" "Get in Uma!" "Pull her in!" "Quickly!" "Get her inside!" "Suri!" "Guys, take Uma away." "Uma, go with them." "He's trying to get away." "Get him!" "Don't you have any brains?" "All you do is talk nineteen to dozen." "Don't you know a crook when you see one?" "Why do you girls pick only the crooks to fall in love with?" "Use your brains sometimes, instead of that big mouth!" "How stupid can you get?" "What's in that bag?" "Planned to live off this did you?" "He gave you all these?" "Teddy bear, make up kit, photo album, a heart symbol..." "So you flipped for these?" "You idiot." "What's this?" "A love letter?" "I love you Uma Devi." "This doesn't seem right." "Hahaaa." "You thought this was his blood didn't you?" "You nincompoop!" "This is chicken blood!" "Hear this, guys!" "She fell for chicken blood!" "He's had it from me today!" "You cheat." "You wrote that love letter with chicken blood." "Let me deal with you." "Hold him!" "I'll thrash you, dog." "If you wanted the gold I'd have given it to you." "You wanted to die for me right?" "Here's your chance!" "Stop her." "She'll kill him." "Die!" "Die, you scoundrel!" "My ring?" "Give me back my ring!" "Someone give me a knife." "I need a knife now!" "Should I chop your finger off or will you give it?" "Don't, don't." "I will give you the ring." "Here." "So?" "Satisfied?" "This is what happens when you try to cheat innocent village girls." "With people like you, I wouldn't stop at fingers." "I'd cut off your other appendages, you rascal!" "Come, let's go." "Where?" " Home, where else?" "My Dad will kill me." "I won't come home." "Uma!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "How can you listen to songs when I am crying my heart out here?" "Switch it off now!" "Switch it off." "You stop the songs first." "Stop it now!" "Crazy girl!" "I'll hit you if you don't stop all this!" "Go on." "Hit me." "You created this mess anyway!" "What did I do?" "It's all because of you." "What would have happened to me Suri... if you had turned up just a little late?" "What she said is true." "She's just a naive, innocent girl." "It was my fault!" "If I had not provoked her with Sunitha, all of this would never have happened." "Big mistake!" "How dare you come back here?" "I'll kill you." "Uncle!" "Stop!" "You get out of the way." "She's dead." "Stop!" "Listen to me!" "I'll skin her alive!" "ENOUGH!" "Do you want everyone to know what happened?" "Uma, get inside now!" "Such arrogance!" "I'll kill her today!" "I said ENOUGH." "Stop making a scene." "Uma, you go inside!" "Look at her!" "Shamelessly strutting in..." "Will you stop?" "She is innocent." "That scoundrel deceived her." "Will all of you Shut up..." "No one deceived her." "She's not stupid." "She knows what she is doing." "Go inside now!" "Go!" "You are finished..." "how dare you..." "I'll kill you" "What's wrong with you?" "Do you want to kill her?" "She didn't run away on purpose." "Some idiot trapped her for her gold." "But she eloped didn't she?" "What do you expect me to do?" "Praise her?" "Agreed it's a mistake." "Everyone makes mistakes." "You are not the epitome of virtue yourself." "What did you say?" "That I am..." "Suri, move aside." "Ranga, stop it." "She's an adult now." "Uma, come with me." "Let her stay with me for a few days." "Bloody phones." "They are the cause of all these problems." "Uma, stop crying dear." "They say it is a bad omen if a girl child cries." "I messed up, Aunty." "Pardhu threatened to drink poison and commit suicide if I didn't go with him." "I never imagined all this would happen." "Don't cry now." "Remember this." "Those who truly love you will never threaten you." "Did you know?" "I fell in love and married too." "Our parents did not approve, so we ran away and got married." "Our love was true." "We had committed no wrong." "So we came back to the village to settle down." "Really?" "Didn't they say anything?" "Of course, they said many things." "But after seeing us happy together, our elders changed their minds and accepted us." "But how did you know that Uncle really loved you?" "He never made grand promises that he'll make me happy..." "Or treat me like a queen." "But I knew deep down he'd always be there for me." "He never once said "I love you"." "But I knew he did." "But how?" "When someone really loves you they don't have to say it." "You'll know how much they love you through the small things they do for you." "Mummy, shall I bring some chicken?" "Chicken?" "Uma likes chicken curry right?" "Ok." "Get it." "Uma, get up." "Eat your lunch." "No aunty, I am not hungry" "What do you mean you're not hungry?" "Eat." "Arey, eat properly." "Do you like it?" "Here, eat some more." "Good, you must eat well dear." "Mom, could you serve me lunch please?" "Rasam, Rice." "And what's this." " Curds." "Curds?" "Where's the chicken?" "It's finished." "Finished?" "But how?" "You don't eat chicken." "Don't tell me she ate it all?" "So what if she did?" "You got it for her anyway." "So what?" "Does that mean she should gobble it all up without leaving even a bit for me?" "Poor girl." "She didn't eat a bite since morning." "I had to force her to eat." "If she eats like this when she's forced," "I wonder how she eats when she is really hungry!" "There's dal and rasam for you." "Chicken curry for her and dal rasam for me?" "To top it all she is giving me dirty looks after polishing off the chicken curry." "I'm going home." "I don't want to stay here anymore..." "Want to go home?" "Please yourself." "Your dad's waiting eagerly to break your legs the moment he sees you." "That will settle it once and for all." "What's the big deal if you don't eat chicken for a meal?" "Don't tease her." "You know she's going through a rough time." "Why are you sitting here dear?" "Why don't you go watch TV?" "Do you want something to munch?" "Aunty, can you make gupchup?" "Gupchup?" "Yes aunty." "There's a gupchup stall near our college." "He makes delicious gupchup!" "Never heard of it, dear." "I can't make these exotic foods." "Aunty, can I go, eat gupchup and come back quietly?" "Oh no!" "If your Dad comes to know that you went out, he'll blow his top." "But how long am I confined to sitting at home?" "A few more days dear." "Your father will cool down by then." "Let me get you something to munch." "Hey!" "How come?" "Give me some gupchup please." "Sure, madam." "Eat all you want." "I came all this distance only for you." "For me?" "Yes madam." "Suri sir sent me." "Suri?" "Yes, Suri sir hassled me no end until I started for your home." "Really?" "Don't stop." "Keep the gupchups coming." "Oh... but I don't have any money." "Don't worry about the money." "Suri said he'll pay." "Really?" "Suri will pay for all this?" " Yes." "Then give me some bhel puri too." "Eat as much as you want to." "Your big mouth and Suri's big heart are a good match indeed!" "Suri, may I borrow your phone to make a call please?" "I have to call Sunitha." "You're really calling Sunitha and not someone else?" "I'm calling Sunitha of course." "I heard they announced the exam results." "I can't find Sunitha's number on your phone." "Look for Zandu Balm under Z." "Zandu balm?" "Because she calls me all the time and gives me a headache." "Hello Sunitha, this is Uma." "Really?" "To my phone?" "Oh!" "OK." "What?" "Our exam results are texted to our mobile phones." "And I don't have my phone." "Nor my SIM." "How will I get my results now?" "I cannot understand for the life of me why you are so tense." "As if you prepared hard for your exams!" "Stop worrying." "You failed your exams." "How do you know?" " I know." "You flunked 3 subjects." "That means I passed in the other 3 subjects right?" "Yippee!" "I can't believe this." "If all students shared your optimistic attitude to academics, there would be no exam-related suicides." "But tell me, how do you know?" "Who told you?" "No one." "I got an SMS." "You are right." "Is this my SIM?" "The phone is yours too." "This phone is for me?" "Touch screen!" "It's awesome!" "Thanks so much!" "Don't thank me and laze around with the phone." "Do some household chores and make yourself useful at home." "Why are you doing all this work now?" "It's okay Aunty." "Let me do it." "What?" "Another rangoli competition?" "Do you want another first prize like the last time?" "Please Suri." "Please don't spoil my new rangoli." "Please please." "What's this design called?" "I've titled it the rangoli of chairs." "Rangoli of chairs huh?" "Add a dining table." "So that you can sit and do what you love... eating!" "Wasting all the chalk powder..." "Thank god... she didn't think up rangoli of sofa sets." "What Uma madam?" "How come you are doing all household chores at your aunt's house?" "You seem to have forgotten us completely." "Do you like that house so much?" "Nothing like that." "I will come back home soon." "It's ok." "Stay as long as you want." "That is where you will go anyway." "Sunitha, we need to talk urgently." "Come with me!" "About what?" " Come right now!" "What's the big hurry?" "Arre." "Let me finish with your hair." "Come, come." "What?" "What happened?" "I have some bad news for you." "But promise me you will not tell anyone." "Why would I advertise my bad news to the world?" "Tell me, what is it?" "And why are you blushing to tell me my bad news?" "Suri and I, we are in love." "What?" "Suri is in love with you?" "Hmmm" "And you love Suri?" "Hmmmm" "I don't believe you." "Suri loves me, not you." "We'll see about that." "Will you tell all that happened between you and Suri truthfully?" "Okay" "Does Suri follow you all the time?" "Huh, no." "He used to." "Not anymore." "I'm chasing him these days." "But he chases me all the time." "Stop!" "You are finished today!" "Stop where you are." "Does he look deep into your eyes and talk to you as if the world around doesn't exist?" "No, never." "We never spent that much time together!" "He does, with me." "All the time." "Did he ever kiss you?" " Kiss?" "Never!" "No such luck here." "He kissed me plenty of times." "So, that proves it that Suri loves me." "Not you." "You're lying." "I will not believe a word of what you said until I see it." "You don't believe me?" "Come, I'll prove it to you." "How will you prove it?" "Now, we will walk, one after another, past Suri." "That way we will know who he really loves." "How?" "If he really loves you, you'll know." "Now go!" "How do you think I should walk?" "You never asked me these questions when you flirted with him did you?" "Walk as you please!" "You!" "Come now!" "God, help me." "Did you notice the way he looked at me?" "When did he ever glance at you?" "Twice." "Didn't you notice?" "No, you are cheating." "He looked at me twice." "Not at you." "You are jealous, Suri looked at me and not at you!" "You are a cheat!" "No." "Let's start all over." "Let's walk again" "Now I got it!" " What?" "Why you are Zandu Balm." "Zandu Balm?" "Where are you going?" "To aunty's house." "Why do you go there all time?" "Go inside!" "Shall I get you some tea?" " No." "Just had some." "Listen, I found a good match for her." "Tataraju's Bujji." "I don't want her roaming around here and there." "Keep her in check." "Understand?" "This is ridiculous." "How can you marry her to that Bujji?" "Yes." "To Bujji." "His mother is a big nag." "Couldn't you find a better match for her?" "So what if she is?" "I don't care." "They have tons of money." "Do you think we can find a better match for her?" "But how can we marry our daughter into such a difficult family?" "Will you all shut up?" "It's final." "Don't interfere." "I don't need your approval on this" "Suri!" " What?" "Please come here." "It's very urgent." "What?" "My Dad fixed my wedding with Bujji." "They're palming you off to him then." "Marry him, you'll make a hit pair." "No." "I will not marry him." "If you don't marry him, Bujji's marital status may remain single forever." "Stop fooling around Suri." "Do anything." "But stop this wedding." "Uma, stopping a wedding is not as easy as beating up someone." "Please Suri." "Do it." "What do you think of me anyway, that you give me these kind of jobs?" "Please Suri." "Do something." "Stop this wedding please." "Please!" "please!" "Look!" "Your dad is here." "Mr. Naive is going somewhere." "Hey Bujji!" "I heard you are marrying Umadevi." "Is that true?" "Mom told me to." " Oh your Mom told you did she?" "You have the glow of a dashing groom already!" "Where are you going?" "Mom told me to buy vegetables." " Vegetables?" "Is your mom home?" " She is in the backyard" "Okay then, ride carefully." "Bye guys." "What?" "Bujji is marrying Umadevi?" "I don't think so." " But you just said so" "We are both going to stop their wedding now..." "What?" "We?" "You mean me too?" "Yes." "Come along." "Please Suri." "I am terrified of Bujji's Mom." "Let me go." "I want to go home." "You are not going anywhere." "Come with me." "Be alert and give some razor sharp replies." "Can't you do anything properly?" "It's falling all over." "Where do you keep looking while working?" "Ranga, how long will you take to finish that work?" "Who's going to do the rest of the work?" "Quick." "Quick." "What Suri?" "How come you are here?" "We came to meet Bujji." "We're his friends right?" "Friends?" "Really?" "This guy too?" "He is very close to Bujji." "Yes yes." "Very close up!" "I heard Bujji and Uma are getting married." "Looks like you have started preparations already!" "Oye, Put some chairs there." "Hmmm, so what's your uncle up to?" "Oh, He is on cloud 9!" "He is busy raising loans for the wedding." "What?" "Doesn't he have money for the wedding?" "What money?" "All his farms are on mortgage and he owes everyone in the village." "Just the other day he borrowed 50,000 rupees from him." "Ask him." " Yes yes." "He owes me." "In fact I gave him another hundred bucks on my way here." "But he promised 25 acres as dowry." "He did, did he?" "I'm sure once the wedding is done, he will give it sometime." "Better owe your son-in-law than a money lender right?" "Anyway money is not everything." "Here one day, gone the next." "It's another thing that uncle never has any." "But will you ever get a fairer girl than Uma?" "Fair?" "She is dark isn't she?" "Dark?" "You haven't seen her lately." "She shines like a pearl." "Everyone goes into a freeze when she walks by in her shorts." "Ask him." "Yes yes." "I also froze." "Are you telling me she wears shorts and walks around the village?" "Not very short shorts." "They're this long." "Right?" "This long perhaps." "That short?" "It may sound rather forward to you but let me assure you that she's an absolute treat to watch." "After all, a girl's beauty can only be appreciated when she exposes it." "Yes." "Exposing." "Exposing." "It's normal these days." "Girls are modern now." "They roam about, watch movies." "They don't want any responsibilities" "Don't misunderstand me." "It's not Uma Devi," "I am talking about girls of the current generation." "Hmm, does Umadevi wake up early to do the household chores?" "Of course." "Whenever she wakes up that is." "But poor girl, by the time she watches movies on internet, it's past midnight every day." "How can she get up early after that, you tell me?" "Does she know how to cook at least?" "Of course." "Umadevi loves cooking." "But her mother doesn't let her." " Why so?" "A month ago, she left the gas switch on in the kitchen." "The cylinder exploded and the kitchen burned down." "Her mom is lucky to be alive." "She could've died." "But she is an experimental cook." "The way she cooks, even she cannot eat it." "So she experiments on others." "He ate once." "How was it?" "Over fried, under cooked." "I ate it." "I had no other option." "But in my opinion stray dog wouldn't eat it." "You elderly people should eat such undercooked food." "I hear it is good for your health." "Let her cooking skills be." "Does she respect elders?" "You'll be surprised to know how much she thinks of elders and their comforts." "What with elders having nothing to do at home but watch TV, she thinks that they're better off living together in an old age home." "What a mature thought at such a young age!" "Ask him." "What do you say?" "Oh that?" "Yes!" "He need not say anything anymore." "I understand everything now." "You are right, Madam." "Why must some stranger tell you all this?" "You will know all after the marriage." "So, tell me madam, how much gold are you planning to gift Uma?" "Gold eh?" "Get out of here right now!" "Of course, so much work for the marriage." "We will take leave." "Get out!" "I will surely come for the wedding, Madam." "Why don't you stay back here?" "That will save you an extra trip." "Uma madam, I have good news for you." "Your father's not at home I hope?" " No." "Your wedding with Bujji got cancelled." " Really?" "How?" "Suri got it cancelled." "Is that true?" "How do you know?" "I work at their house too." "That's how I know." "I came running all the way to tell you this news." "Really?" "Thank you Sakku, thank you!" "What happened?" "Suri got Bujji's marriage proposal cancelled." "Really?" "He did the right thing." "He always liked Uma." "I told you he'd stop this wedding" "Crazy fellow!" "He always liked her!" "These ups and downs of life" "Let's deal with them together shall we?" "We are Lord Rama and Seetha reborn" "And this is no less than a swayamvaram surely" "Your glances land on me like garlands made of fragrant flowers" "Riding this golden swing, that's strung by a rainbow" "Let's bathe in this lovely moonlight" "Ohooo... you're the melody, the rhythm That fills my very heart" "Ohooo... you're my dearest, the one that occupies my every thought" "I can touch it if I reach out for it" "The very moon is beside me it appears, as you my beloved" "Just for you and me, this day, this way" "The festive celebrations oflove are here to stay" "Let the seconds slip by, don't worry" "We can always freeze time with our love's intensity" "Imagine a world with no tomorrows, just for me and for you" "I see you everywhere, smiling at me" "I can't meet you, can't hide, how do I get to your side" "Ohooo... you're that dream I've been dreaming forever" "Ohoo... you're the magician who has woven this magic" "These ups and downs of life" "Let's deal with them together shall we" "Suri!" "He takes advantage of the fact that I humour him." "But he's crossed all limits today." "Suri" "SURI!" "SURI!" "What?" "What happened?" "What are you doing here?" "Why are you here everyday?" "Go home!" "You Suri." "I finalised such a good proposal for my daughter with great difficulty." "How dare you ruin it?" "What?" "What are you talking about?" "Ask your son!" "What did you tell Bujji's mother?" "That I owe money to everyone in the village?" "I can see through your plans." "Get her marriage proposals cancelled." "So we are left with no option but to marry her to you." "That way you can get your hands on my property, right?" "What?" "Me?" "Marry your daughter?" "For that property of yours?" "I don't care a damn about your property!" "Then why did you ruin this proposal?" "Because everyone in town knows the truth about that spineless Bujji and his domineering mother." "We will not allow you to marry her off to such people." "What arrogance that he talks back to me in this tone after what he did?" "What are you still doing here?" "Go home!" "Stop fooling my daughter with your sweet talk you two." "No one from this house will enter that house anymore," "And no one from here will go there." "If someone does, I will break their legs!" "Our relationship is over." "If anyone crosses this gate, I will chop them to pieces." "Ranga, why are you screaming?" "What happened?" "You don't interfere now!" "Go inside!" "You think you're the only one who has money?" "You think we're always looking to steal your money from you?" "You are not even capable of getting a decent match for your daughter." "I will get her a good groom in one week and show you!" "And then we'll see!" "What the hell are you people still doing here?" "Go inside." "I'll kill anyone who crosses that gate." "Get in!" "Let's go." "What Suri?" "What happened?" "You wanted us urgently?" "My uncle had a huge fight with me." "I told him I'd get a good groom for Uma in a week." "You guys do something about it." "A good groom?" "In one week?" "That's too long." "You should have told him that you'd find one in half an hour." "Why didn't you?" "I don't know what you'll do." "But I want a good groom in one week." "Yesterday, you got the marriage cancelled." "Today you want a better match." "You shut up!" "Kodhanda, what do you have to say?" "I propose Gottumukkala Sreenu." "What nonsense!" "Champatoor Phani?" "I want good grooms." "Not the world's top 10 discarded cases." "I've added many new friends on facebook recently." "All those guys who left our village and are doing well in life are on fb." "Let's look at that list." "Remember Praveen?" "Class topper." "He used to sit beside me." "Yes." " Yes." "Very hard working student." "Let's check Praveen's profile." "In my opinion he must've reached great heights by now." "Yes." "Looks like he's pretty high." "Let's look at some others." "Nani is the right guy if you ask me." "He works in the movies?" " Yes." "Aspiring director." "One hit and he'll land in Jubilee hills." "One flop and he'll be begging outside Jubilee bus stand." "Job security is important." "Look for someone with a nice secure job." "Hey, check Naveen, Naveen." "Find Naveen." "Who is he?" "Wait I'll show you." "What?" "A security guard?" "You wanted 'security' didn't you?" "You'll get a kick now!" "Keep out of this." "Tell us what you are looking for so we can find that person." "He should be a nice guy, from a good family, working in America ideally." "That kind of a guy." "Hey!" "Murali!" " Murali?" "Eh!" "Leave him be." "He is too nice a guy for Uma Devi." "But Murali adores Uma." "Since childhood." " Really?" "How come I didn't know of this?" "Here." "Murali is on the line." "Hello." "Hi Murali, how are you?" "It's me Suri." "I'm fine." "What about your marriage plans?" "I hope you didn't fall in love with some foreigner-white, dark." "Definitely avoid Chinese if you ask me." "There's no guarantee for any of their products." "How about someone from our village?" "Remember Umadevi?" "We're looking for good matches for her." "Vasu tells me you like her." "I'll send you her picture." "She hasn't changed a bit." "Inform your parents and fly down immediately." "Okay then." "See you." "Bye." "I searched all over." "This is the only picture of Uma I have." "Umadevi is looking very cute." "That's not Umadevi." "She's on the left" "Then who is wearing the gown?" " Me." "My mom wanted a picture of me in a gown those days." "My gown's not important now." "What we need is Umadevi's picture." "I can't ask them after yesterday's fight." "What do we do now?" "He takes beautiful pictures in the blink of an eye." "You do?" "Haha!" "This is like asking if Rajamouli knows how to make films." "Then what are we waiting for?" "Let's go!" "Okay." "I'll show you guys what framing a picture is all about." "Click, click!" "Arrey, she's gone!" "Idiot!" "You wasted a golden chance." "God knows when she will come out into the open courtyard again." "Wait" "What are you doing?" "Noo no, no, don't do it!" "Oh my god!" "You idiot!" "She has come out again." "Take her picture!" "Fast!" "Smile please." "You idiot, you are clicking everything but her face!" "Idiot!" "And you are Rajamouli huh?" " What can I do?" "Can Rajamouli make a Magadheera without a Ramcharan?" "Shut up!" "She is going that way." "Let's follow!" "I am ready now." "Let her come." "Wait, she is coming, Get set!" "Got it?" "She is coming, she is here!" "Ah!" "Check out this beautiful photo." "You idiot!" "Do you want to send my grandma's picture to Murali?" "Do you think he'd have received our mail?" "He must have." "I am expecting his call now." "Wait and watch." "Here." "Murali is on skype." "Hey Murali." "Hi." "I sent you Umadevi's pictures." "Have you seen them?" "Terrible photos." "I can't make out anything from them." "Meet the master photographer who clicked them." "Hi." "Hi." "Okay." "Since you're coming down anyway, you can meet her in person." "I was really hoping you'd send a nice picture of hers." "Just a trailer for now." "When you come here, we'll show you the full movie!" "Alright." "I'll call you when I get there." "Bye" "There's the King of Kunavaram" "And what about me?" "You are the dengue of Kunavaram" "Hi Suri." "How are you?" "Hi Suri." "How are you?" "Come come." "I was about to come over to your place." "Looks like you can't wait to see Umadevi." "My photos tend to have this effect on people." "Is aunty at home?" " She went out." "I hope you remember Umadevi?" "You both played together when we were kids." "I remember everything." "Umadevi and I were good friends then." "But you and I were sworn enemies." "Remember what happened?" "You done with your cooking?" "Yes." "Let me serve you." "Do you like it?" "Do you like it?" "Shall I serve you some more?" "Shall I serve you some more?" "You go away." "You go away." "I'll whack you!" "I'll whack you!" "Stop!" "Stop fighting!" "Why are you fighting instead of playing?" "Who started the fight?" "Uma started it!" "Suri started it!" "Murali, You tell me." "You were here all the time." "What are you looking?" "Tell..." "Uma and I were playing together, when Suri came and mocked Uma." "Uma got irritated and hit him." "Then Suri hit her." "Oh!" "Both are at fault then." "Show me your hands!" "Stop right there!" "How dare you snitch on me!" "I am going to kill you right now!" "Stop!" "You haven't forgotten a thing Murali." "So?" "Okay, you two leave." "Wait at the shop." "I'll speak to Murali for a while and join you there." "So," "You're obviously in a hurry to see her." "Come." "You can see her from here." "I'll show you." "Don't misunderstand my intentions in showing her to you from behind this wall." "If I take you directly they will doll her up." "This way, you can see her as she is naturally." "Umadevi looks beautiful anyway." "What's this?" "She is looking a bit too natural!" "She is a very nice person." "Kind." "Gentle." "Respects elders a lot too." "Grandma, why are you removing the clothes off the line?" "Because they are dry." "Don't you dare touch them." "Wonder what's bitten her now?" "She is not in a good mood today it looks like." "Normally..." "I know Suri." "She didn't change a bit." "She is still the same girl I saw in my childhood." "You like her?" "Since my childhood." "She's ok with you then?" "My dear sister!" "How have you been?" "Is Suri home?" " Yes." "Please call him." "Suri!" "Come Suri!" "You know." "Suri arranged a fantastic marriage proposal for Umadevi." "Can you imagine who the groom is?" "Subbaraju's grandson Murali." "We're doing the engagement function today." "Suri, you must come!" " Why should I?" "You must not talk like that." "I was angry that day." "Let bygones be bygones." "We won't dance to your tunes uncle." "Come and go on your whims." "Arre, I lost my temper that day." "Forgive me." "Forget the past." "You're the only male child we have." "And this is the first big function in our family." "How can you not come?" "You must come." "That's all!" "The horoscopes of the groom and bride match perfectly." "The horoscopes of the groom and bride match perfectly." "There's an auspicious muhurat next month." "Dad, can we perform the marriage within 2 weeks?" "It may be difficult to extend my leave." "Sir, can you check for a good muhurat in 1 week." "There is a fine muhurat within a week!" "Shall we fix the marriage for that date?" "Why not?" "What do you say?" " As you say sir." "Let us perform a puja to Lord Ganesha and start preparations for the marriage." "Ok" "The marriage is fixed Mom." "It's on the 26th at 8:40 a.m." "Only one week away." "Wonder how uncle will manage." "Why are you looking at me like that?" "Why did you fix this marriage?" "Do you even realize what you are doing?" "You probably think you've done a great job by bringing her a good match don't you?" "You'll understand what you've done when she's gone after her marriage." "What?" "You can't do without her even for a moment." "How do you think you'll survive when she goes away?" "Before she came into your life, you'd cry all the time." "I'm afraid you'll cry for the rest of your life after she's gone." "What?" "Me?" "Cry?" "For Umadevi?" "Do you know what you are talking about?" "I know exactly what I am talking." "But you have no idea what you are doing." "I know what I am doing." "You don't need to tell me that." "You don't understand now." "But when she marries and leaves tomorrow, you will have all the time in the world to repent." "Then you will know." "Will you stop?" "You know nothing about me." "I'm feeling hungry." "Serve me some food." "I won't." "Go eat someplace else." "Suri, I didn't get a chance to speak to Umadevi yesterday." "I would like to." "Will you come along with me?" "No." "You go." "Why me?" "Please." "I'm not used to this." "Please come with me." "No, you carry on." "I have to go somewhere else." "You can go later." "Please!" "Okay." "Come." "Uma!" "Get dressed." "Murali is here to meet you" "Why?" " He wants to talk to you..." "Wear this saree." " I won't." "Don't be a fool and listen to me." "Suri and Murali are waiting for you." "Get dressed and come quickly." "Suri is here too?" " Yes." "You talk to her." "I'll leave." "Remember, we used to play all the time when we were kids." "We would sit under the berry tree." "I remember nothing." "What are you studying right now?" "B. Com." "First year." "You don't need to stop studying." "You can continue studying in the U.S." "I am not really interested in studying." "What else?" "I hear you are a great cook." "Me?" "My mom must have lied as usual." "I only know how to eat well." "I can't cook to save my life." "I really like you Uma." "You haven't changed a bit." "Why are you wearing a saree now?" "Because I feel like it." "Are you done?" "Let's go to the temple." "Call your father and tell him to send the driver." "Daddy, don't send the driver." "We'll go to the temple with Suri." "Bye" "Mom, the driver cannot come." "Suri is at home." "Why don't you ask him to take us?" "Ok, I'll ask." "Suri!" "Suri!" "Could you take us to the temple please?" "I vowed to offer 108 coconuts at the temple when Uma's marriage is finalised." "The driver has not come." "Will you take us there?" "You go ahead." "I will wait outside." "Uma you do pradakshinams around the temple." "Meanwhile I will offer the 108 coconuts to god." "My feet are aching." "I cannot go around the temple." "You will take forever to break 108 coconuts at this rate." "I'll do it for you." "How come you recovered so fast?" "Go into the temple and start your prayers!" "No." "I will do pradakshinalu around the temple." "I am done." "Complete your prayers and come home." "I'll leave now." "Mom I will go home too." "I am feeling dizzy and have a headache." "Suri, she wants to go home." "Take her with you please." "Suri." "Suri." "What?" "Can you stop the car for a moment?" "Near that shop." "That one." "What do you want?" "Cool drink." "Give me a cool drink please." "Which one?" " Sprite." " Ok." "No No." "I don't want Sprite." "I want Thums Up." "Not Thums Up." "I want a Maaza." "Suri." "Suri." "Yes." "Will you think of me after I go away?" "What's there to think about?" "Suri, when I get married and go away, who will you squabble with?" "Aren't you sad that I'm going away?" "Sad?" "Why should I feel sad about your going?" "Then, why didn't you quarrel with me as you always do when I asked you for all those cool drinks?" "Why didn't you?" "Suri, we have gone past our house." "Why didn't you name our relationship all this while?" "Now when you're going away, you ask me" "You, who was mad at me all this time" "Do you realise that this silence was a curse" "This pain I feel." "Do you feel it too?" "Now I know," "I love you" "This truth hidden deep in my heart" "Is best left in the depths of my thoughts" "I've given up what's dearest to me" "This is my fate, I accept it" "Can I look deep into your eyes once?" "So this wordless silence can touch your heart too," "Can you slip into my eyes?" "So you can see the love that fills them." "If you're the hope that tomorrow brings" "The darkness of the night is the boon, I sought" "This truth hidden deep in my heart" "Is best left in the depths of my thoughts" "I've given up what's dearest to me" "This is my fate, I accept it" "Suri." "What Uma?" "Suri." "Tomorrow is my wedding." "I will leave for America in a week." "Don't know when we might meet again." "You're not going away to America forever are you?" "You'll come back won't you?" "I'm getting married." "When will you marry?" "I will." "In a year or two." "Love marriage?" "Will you marry Sunitha?" "No." "I will marry the girl who offers me the highest dowry." "Suri, remember?" "When we were kids, we'd tell on each other and get thrashed." "And then, I hurt my forehead because of you." "I always curse you when I see this scar." "I need to thank you for so many things Suri." "The time I ran away foolishly with Pardhu." "If you hadn't come in the nick of time that day," "God knows what would've become of me." "You ruined Bujji's marriage proposal because I asked you." "My father suspected your intentions." "He picked up a huge fight with you." "But you never uttered a word about me and bore all those insults patiently." "Now you got me such a great marriage proposal." "You know what everyone in the village is saying?" "That it is difficult to get a better groom than Murali." "That only a chosen few get such marriage proposals." "That it's all my good luck!" "Suri, can you do me a small favor?" "What?" "Please don't come to my wedding tomorrow." "Suri, where are you going?" "I have some work." "I'll be right back." "Uma, wait, wait Uma." "I found a nice place to hide." "Uma, open the door Uma." "No, I won't." "This is my hiding place." "Uma open the door." " I won't." "I'll show you." "Suri open the door." "Suri!" "Suri open the door Suri." "Where have you gone?" "Suri" "Uma" "Suri, I am scared." "It's so dark here." "I am really scared." "Don't worry." "I am here now." "Hop on to my shoulders." "I will carry you home." "Ok?" "Why did you leave me and go?" "I will never ever leave you now." "Come!" "There's something I must tell you." "I love you." "I'm coming to tell you that." "I cannot let my silence smother our love to death." "Suri, the wedding has been stalled." "What?" "How?" "I..." "What have you done?" "I mixed grandmother's sleeping pills..." "Sleeping pills?" "What have you done with them?" "I mixed them in buttermilk and..." " And?" "Ok... you guys leave us alone." "Mom told me to give it to you." "In this saree, you look like a new bride with a glass of milk." "This is not milk." "It is buttermilk." "Whatever it is." "We must share it." "Hey, don't be shy?" " Not shy." "Scared is more like it." "I am not going to eat you Uma." "This is yours." "Why am I feeling dizzy?" "I mixed some sleeping pills in your buttermilk" "Sleeping pills?" "You haven't changed a bit Umadevi." "What happened to Murali?" " He's fast asleep." "They are trying to wake him up but he is not waking up." "I looked for an opportunity and slipped out." "How many pills did you mix in the buttermilk?" "Suri, why were you running homeward?" "You left this morning because I asked you to stay away." "Why are you heading back again?" "I can't live without you Uma." "I don't know whether it's love or something else but you are my life Uma." "They'd call me a crybaby when I was a kid." "I started laughing only after you came into my life." "What will I do now if you leave me like this all of a sudden?" "No matter how much I tease you," "I can't live without you in my sights always." "I'll go mad." "Yes." "I wanted to stay away from your wedding." "But I was coming back with the sole intention of stopping it!" "I can't understand how I assumed that" "I could be happy after sending you to America with Murali." "Cha!" "What?" "Have I overdone the sentiment?" "But Murali is such a nice guy isn't he Uma?" "He willingly drank the buttermilk you offered him." "I'll talk to him." "I'm sure he'll marry you and agree to live at your place after your wedding." "That way you will always be in my sights." "Murali won't refuse me, I know." "You!" "You dare tease me now?" "I will kill you for that." "Even though Murali felt sad after he woke up," "And uncle felt bad." "They reconciled and got me married to Uma." "They had no other option anyway." "You see, I am the King of Kunavaram." "And Umadevi is the Queen of Kunavaram." "And this then, is my love story!" "Smile please" "Hey mister, make me look glamorous in the picture will you?" "Is this really me?" "My thoughts all hither tither" "Is this your magic?" "That my heart floats like a feather" "When our eyes met, and our hearts filled up" "The joy in my heart soared over the skies" "The truth is out, the shadow behind me," "Has always been you" "Hey... hey" "It's you..." "It's you..." "Always you" "I'll blush if you're angry with me, I'll kiss you if you ever hit me" "I know that your anger is nothing but your love for me" "I'll tease you all the more" "Our squabbling is nothing but our love for one another" "If my yesterday was you..." "you're my tomorrow too" "Hey... hey" "It's you..." "It's you..." "It's you..."
