Dude, is this the one?
Okay, you wait.
Who is that?
I've come for the vehicle.
We have come to see the vehicle. - What?
I had called you this morning saying I would be coming.
Yeah, yes.
Someone called Babu or Prabhu had called.
Is that you? - Yes, sir.
I'm Babu, that is my friend Britto.
Well, come, let me show you the vehicle.
We just need to remove that cover.
Can you help me? - Definitely, sir.
Hold that. - Go on.
Careful.
When was the last time you drove this car?
I have never driven this car.
It's been a long time.
I'm also getting old and can't hold the steering and drive.
It is very difficult for me.
Dude, is this the car?
We will buy this car, sir.
Are you going to buy this car?
Yes. - You're youngsters.
It is an old car.
What are you going to do with this car?
No sir, there is a big story behind this car.
[Babu]Britto.
The deal is over. He has agreed.
Come on, we'll sort out the rest.
[dramatic music]
Mohan, what happened now?
I’m telling you again. This is not necessary now.
Sir, not now, when he's leaving.
He has finally mustered courage.
Did you pour coolant into the car?
Remember yesterday I gave you a black bottle?
I thought it was extra petrol.
See, he doesn't even know the difference between coolant and petrol.
You’re asking him to travel so far alone.
I already poured it yesterday and it's only the leftover.
You don't have a problem with the coolant.
It's just that he's going to meet him. Right?
Yes.
Why is he going to meet him now?
Mohan, I'm already in a lot of tension.
Don't irritate me more.
He is just concerned for you.
You start the car.
Okay, I'm leaving. - Say, I'll return soon.
Why, if he says he's leaving, won't he come back?
Why do you talk like this being an educated person?
Buzz off.
Well, I'll return soon
Super, dude, everything will go smoothly from now on.
Get going.
The car has an old clutch.
Don't start the car in half clutch. Start the car in one fourth clutch.
There is no disc in this car.
It's a drum. Understood?
Sir, is he a child?
Take it easy, he can manage.
If you change your mind midway
make a U-turn and come back.
Dude, start.
Okay, bye.
You were also against him going there.
Now you are being very supportive of him?
If a person is afraid of height
make him jump from a height and his fear will go away.
So is this. - I'm also afraid of snakes.
So should I put my hand into the snake burrow?
You've already put your hand into it.
Hey, get lost.
Bye, dude.
Hey, don't touch with your hand.
Listen, the ball should come straight to my leg.
If not..
Come on.
Be careful.
Hey.
Damn it!
Sorry, Dad. Please, Dad.
Please, Dad. - Come here.
I will do it rightly..
I said, come here.
Dad, please..
Come here.
Don't, Dad, please..
Dad, Dad..
Dad, please don't do this.. - Turn around.
I said, turn around.
Dad, please..
Dad!
Dad, it's hurting!
Dad.. Mom!
How many times have I told you? - Dad, please please..
[Young Britto]Don't hit me, it's hurting. Please, Dad.
[Young Britto]Dad..
[Young Britto]Dad, please don't hit me.. - Come here!
Dad, it's hurting, Mom...
Dad, please..
Oh God.
Dad, please don't hit me.
Please, Dad. - Dear.
Kick the ball correctly. - Dad..
Kick it wrong and you’ll get hit five times, do you understand?
What is this? Have you made it a daily task?
It's like hell, leave him alone.
Poor him, I beg you. - Hey!
Does he act like the son of a PT master?
Did you see how he kicked the ball?
Is it required that a math teacher's son should be good at math?
Do they also beat up their kids like you?
Look here, my son has no flaws.
If you feel something like that
it's not his fault.
That's right.
Its not his fault.
I should ask you. You gave birth to him.
Who did you sleep with and have him?
He is a small child.
You’re speaking like this in front of him.
Is it?
It is wrong to ask this in front of your son.
Come with me. - Oh dear!
Listen.
Dad, don't do this.
Dad..
I said, get inside. - Please, Dad.
Please, Dad. - Shut your mouth.
[Mary Rathnaraj]- Please, Dear.
No, don't do this.
He suffers in fear all night.
Please, don't do this.
Dear!
Come on.
[dramatic music]
[Babu] Hello. - Hello.
Hello, Babu. - Dude, tell me.
Babu, I got stuck in the car and can't open the door.
[Babu] 'Where are you?'
I don't know? - 'What are you saying?'
I think, I fell asleep. - Has there been an accident?
No accident, I'm stuck in the forest.
I don't know exactly where I am. - Don't panic.
No problem, don't worry. Be patient.
Keep calm, dude.
Don't panic, keep calm. - I don't know what to do.
Keep calm, let's think.
How can I be calm? It's dark all around.
Why are you shouting, be quiet. - Sorry.
Send the location from your phone.
Turn on the internet on your phone.
Let me open the map, wait.
Okay, send it.
Babu, Babu? - Britto.
Babu? - Can you hear me?
Hello, Britto. - Babu!
Your dog is the only dog that barks at its owner.
I'm not the owner of that dog.
Is this enough?
No, I think I need to spray more.
It's fine now.
Bye.
Britto.
Come here.
Where are you coming from? - Karate class.
Oh, karate class.
What did master teach you today?
Warm up and sparring.
'Hello, Master!'
Talk to him. - Master..
'Britto.' - It's me.
'Why didn't you come to class today?'
'Hello.'
'Britto, hello.'
'Hello? Master?'
So you weren’t at the karate class?
I was at the skit rehearsal for the school annual day.
Go and stand there. - Sorry, Dad. Please don't..
I'll go from tomorrow. - Don't mistake me.
If you grow up like this, you will suffer a lot.
I said, go. - Please, Dad.
Go and stand there.
Stand there, until you are called for dinner.
Who is that?
I'm asking, who is that?
Britto!
When did you learn to drive?
What happened?
What happened, dear?
All my friends are exactly how their fathers want them to be.
But I'm the only one that isn’t. Why Mom?
You..
Because, you are my son.
That's why, you're exactly how I want you to be.
That's enough for me.
Come on, it's getting late for school.
Go.
Britto, come here.
Did you eat? - Yes.
Keep this to eat in the canteen.
What are you looking at?
What is it dear?
Are you wondering if this is real or just a dream?
Okay, shall I go?
Then say something.
Did you manage to find the same car?
Poor thing.
This car looks like a wreck.
Could this car's story also be as pitiful as ours?
Did you tell Babu that you took a left after crossing the bridge?
You forgot.
Now..
This is the time when wild elephants cross these woods.
Mom!
I'm just letting you know.
Britto, do you really want to go through so much trouble and go see him?
What are you trying to say?
You are not really helping anyone by going there now.
He will only get angry with you.
He won't hesitate to do anything when he's angry.
Why do you say that, Mom?
Dear...
Your fear is his strength.
I know, Mom.
You know how scared I am of cars.
Everyone take a couple of weeks to learn to drive a car.
But it took me a year and a half.
I was scared to even get into a car.
But now i have bought this car to drive back home.
I have even mustered up the courage to face that man.
But people closest to me...
don't believe in me.
They are all trying to stop me.
Babu tried to stop me.
Mohan tried to stop me.
You want to stop me, too.
Now look at this car.
It is also stopping me from going.
What is it?
This car isn't stopping you, dear.
Be brave.
Then nothing can stop you.
Did you eat?
Come.
Come on.
Take a seat.
I forgot to tell you about her.
If only you visit this house occasionally,
you will come to know what's happening here.
He is Britto. He works in Chennai.
Very busy, aren't you?
Hello.
Her first husband died of cancer.
She couldn't make ends meet.
So I've brought her here to live with me.
Come, you also take a seat.
It's alright. You both eat.
I said, take a seat.
What do you do in Chennai?
- Design. - Huh?
Design.
Design? What do you design?
Fashion.
What’s the fashion now?
I mean, we design apparels for every season.
Oh!
Shirts, tops, sarees..
And..
Clothes?
Fashion design!
Its good that you work in Chennai.
If you were working here
people would have embarassed me, by saying that my son is a tailor.
He works in Chennai.
He is dressed well.
He has bought a car as well.
Yet he continues to eat..
like this.
Why do you eat like that? Eat properly.
This one thing hasn't changed at all.
But many things have changed here.
The slab at the side of the kitchen..
My mom used to sit there and eat.
You can eat here. It's a good thing.
At least now it has changed.
You have learnt to talk well after moving to Chennai.
Maybe I've learnt it from my Dad.
Who is that?
Arul.
Come here.
Did you eat?
Buy something from the canteen.
Take it.
Do you know who this is?
Britto Anna.
Yes! What is he to you?
Anna
You are getting late for school. Go now.
Go on.
Finish your food.
Where are you going?
Church.
Let me drive.
Give me the keys.
Get in.
Where did you find this damn car?
Don't you have money to buy a new one?
Or is it sentiments?
Why?
What?
Why are you doing this?
Speak clearly.
Don't act like you don't understand.
Say it plainly if you've the courage, or shut your mouth.
That’s my problem - courage.
I've lived in fear all these years.
And I see the same fear in that boy’s eyes.
That's not fear. It is respect.
You have been a PT teacher for so many years.
Yet you don't know the difference between fear and respect.
I don't know if you've become brave after moving to Chennai.
But you've certainly become arrogant.
I could have straightened you out.
But your mom ruined it all.
Is there anything both of you haven’t lied to me about?
Your mom and her family were liars!
Lying was like a family profession to them.
They lied about the dowry and that she had huge property in her name.
They even lied that her father was ex-military.
I thought he was a military officer.
Later I came to know that he was just a cook in the army.
I thought she was from a reputed army family.
Do you remember when I last called you ‘Appa’?
How can I call you ‘Appa’ after learning the truth?
January 1992.
Mom said you went to Lucknow with the school football team.
You weren't home for almost a month.
This church was renovated around that time.
A junior architect came from Chennai to oversee the work.
I think he was Amma's childhood friend.
Amma used to talk to him whenever she visited the church.
They became close.
That one month was the happiest days of her life.
She said that to me as she lay on her deathbed.
Poor woman!
She didn’t have the courage to tell this truth to anyone.
There is no a trace of you in me.
I am only my Mother’s son.
I don't carry your genes even one bit.
I think you might want to be left alone for some time.
By the way
his name is Mohan.
She said that you'd often ask her “who she slept with to have me?”
It is Mohan, the Architect.
I stay with him in Chennai.
The sad thing is...
I cannot bring myself to call him “Appa”, since I've already called you that.
Close the door.
What are you doing?
Could you please slow down?
Please listen to me.
Appa, please don't do this.
Appa, please listen to me. Don't do this.
Appa, please slow down.
Why are you calling me “Appa” now, you bastard.
What happened?
What's going on?
How come only he died?
Poor guy. He drowned as he couldn't unbuckle the seat belt.
Take him to the General Hospital.
And get the report.
Sir, Why are you spending so much money on this car?
Give me the keys.
Here you go.
Sir, this car won't run for long.
But we are still running, aren’t we?
