"Here comes the sun.."
"My heart goes.."
Hi.
Sorry. Have you been waiting since long?
No..
Did you eat? - Yes.
Come. Let's see the house first.
"To a new day!"
This is an old house. - Okay.
They purchased it in the early 90s..
They have renovated the front portion
the back portion remains the same.
Let's go inside and see. Come.
Wait, I'll get the key.
Okay.
“far away, wide awake”
“ to a new day!"
“ Here comes the sun "
“My heart goes ...”
Can you climb the stairs?
Okay, come on.
"while this guitar gently strums away. "
"To a new day!"
Be careful.
This place will be perfect for a single person, right?
Everything here is old stuff, you can use it if you want.
Did you see this mirror?
This dates back to the era of K.R. Vijaya.
Do you know who Mrs. K.R. Vijaya is?
You don't know.
" *you will eventually know* “
Have you heard this song? You haven't.
Haven't you watched the movies 'Server Sundaram'
and 'Thanga Padhakkam?
You haven't.
What about 'Ooty Varai Uravu'?
Did she use this mirror?
I don't know about that.
Then why are you struggling and saying all this?
Let's meet the house owner.
I don't have a problem if your family comes over.
Your friends shouldn't come.
But If your friends are visiting, you should inform me before they come.
Okay? - Okay.. - They won't come here.
He will meet his friends at college.
Am I right?
What happened to your leg?
He fell down while riding his bike.
On the road behind his college.
You know, many bike riders have faced this issue.
Am I right, brother? - No.
While I was staying at the hostel
I got drunk and fell off the balcony.
That's why they ousted me from the hostel.
It's my fault, I won't do it again.
Okay, I like your honesty.
But such behaviour will not be allowed here.
drinks not allowed.
Okay?
Okay, ma'am, he won't do this again.
Here's your key, I'll call you later.
Okay. - Come on.
I'm leaving, sir. - Okay.
You could have told me earlier
that you were going to tell the truth.
Who said I've told the truth?
Do you like this house?
Shall I drop you?
What is this? Is it a Chocolate Muffin?
Yes, it's a muffin. There's Black Forest in this..
Try this one.
Can we eat this? - Take this.
I feel like eating something spicy.
Hey, Arjun.
He is your client, right? Student loan..
Don't stare at him.
You asked me to look at him.
So? If he notices you staring, what will he think about us?
Ok, I won't look at him.
Okay..
He's not my client.
Meenu's classmate.
Who is he?
I told you. He tried to jump off the balcony of his hostel room.
He's the one.
Thankfully he got stuck in a tree and just broke his leg.
I guess, he has suicidal tendencies.
Poor guy.
Hello!
No.. It's not true..
Just drink water. It will be fine..
It is said that, sometimes dreams can feel very vivid.
I'm sleeping.
I'm just sleeping.
I just can't sleep today.
It will be fine when I wakeup. The dream will end.
It's said that, it doesn't hurt
if you pinch yourself in a dream.
Ouch!
Why dont you try it?
She is talking to me.
Are you really talking to me?
Yes.
It seems like someone is talking from the TV.
But it's nice.
'Nazia!'
He started looking for me.
Who is looking for you? - My dad.
Nazia? - Yes, it's my name.
I..
When I fight with my father, I come and sit here.
Then he would look for me all over the house.
Poor him. - What do you mean?
My birthday is on the seventh of next month.
He promised to take me to the movies.
But he says that he will not take me now.
Why? - To the movies?
The movie is A-rated.
Oh. - Not 'O', it's A-rated film.
Sorry, I'm a Kamal fan.
'Nazia!'
Okay.. I'm leaving now.
Shall we meet tomorrow night?
Hey, here is your Chemistry notes.
If you want notes after this, come and write it yourself.
I can't write notes for you every day.
Sethu, what happened?
Something is wrong. Tell me what it is.
I had a horrific dream yesterday.
dream? - Yes.
There is a mirror in my room.
It is a very old mirror.
Last night, a 10-year-old girl
spoke to me from that mirror.
Oh! And then?
Then, that's it.
Is that all?
Is this your horrific dream?
What was horrific is not that.
Then what?
It seems unlikely that it was a dream.
What are you saying?
She was so real.
I remember every detail about her.
Hey, what are you saying?
It was like I was actually talking to her.
It can't be a dream. - Hey, stop it.
Nowadays, you don't sleep well
it's normal for you to feel like this in this situation.
You come to class and spend time with us, then..
Forget whatever I told you.
Sethu!
At least, take the notes. Hey!
Sethu.
Wait, I'm coming too.
Sethu.
Darn!
Hello!
What is your name? - What? - Your name?
Sethu. - Oh.
Should I call you Sethu or Mr. Sethu?
As you wish.
Have you come here today too after fighting with your father?
No, I came to meet you.
Aren't you scared?
Why should I be afraid?
Aren't you afraid of being alone in the dark?
You're talking to me through a old mirror, aren't you scared?
Are you scared?
Not now. But yesterday I got really scared.
Shall I tell you the truth?
I made you come here.
Yes. As I was alone at home since a long time
I started feeling bored.
So I prayed to God for a friend.
But I never thought that he would send such a friend.
Don't you have any other friends?
Not now. - Why?
You must have friends at school. - I don't go to school.
Why? - I studied till 6th Grade.
I didn't like it after that.
You didn't like it?
Why? Do you like going to school?
Not school, I go to college.
College?
You won't have to wear a uniform, right?
You wear colour dress everyday.
I also wish to wear colourful dresses and go to college. - Hey!
College life is just hyped up.
School life is the best. You can be happy without any stress.
Why? What's so stressful about college life?
If I say it now, you will not understand.
Why? - Hey..
Can you understand a college boy's problem?
I understand.
Okay, tell me.
Tell me, what problems could a college boy face?
As far as I've seen in films
a college boy has only one problem.
What's the problem? - Love failure.
Am I right?
Are you a movie freak?
Even you had a love failure?
It wasn't a love failure, but it was a break up.
Oh.. Okay, I have a doubt.
Is it true that a boyfriend keeps
a photo of his girlfriend in his wallet as shown in the movies?
What? Is it true or not?
Oh, so everything shown in the movies is true.
Show me the photo.
Come closer.
Is she better-looking in person?
Why? - Well..
She looks a bit average in the photo.
Hey, isn't she pretty?
Well, that's correct.
You didn't love her for her beauty.
You fell in love with her because of her character?
Nothing like that. - Okay.
Then answer my question.
Do you like 'Chicken Biryani' or 'Mutton Biryani?'
I don't like 'Biryani.'
Then there's no point in blaming you, your taste is poor.
By the way, you never told me something.
What?
Why are you sleeping in the store room?
This is my home. - Home?
Where are your parents?
My father is in Dubai. - Oh.
So are you with your mother?
My mother is not with us.
My mother left us when I was young.
So pitiable.
Who is? - It's you.
It's tough to survive without a mother, right?
So who lives downstairs?
The owner of this house.
Owner?
Yes, the owner of this house.
That lady was very strict at first.
Then she became very gentle.
Now, she even makes breakfast for me everyday.
Hello.
If you're going to advise me, I'll leave now.
I'm not giving you any advice.
Are you coming to class?
Why are you glaring?
I shouldn't advise you. But, I can ask you questions, right?
I don't want to come to class, that's it.
Even I went through the same. Did I not attend the classes?
I can't sit in the same class as her.
You've started advising, I'm leaving.
Okay, wait. You aren't coming to the classroom
at least come and play Cricket.
Who is that?
Did you get into a fight with someone?
Are thugs waiting outside to beat you up? - Darn..
The movies that you are watching are influencing you in a bad way.
Oh, your girlfriend?
Has she come back to you? - Hey, nothing like that.
Then who has come?
I don't know. - Is it a boy?
Is it a girl?
Is it neither a boy nor a girl? Who else is it then?
She seemed older.
Aunty?
An Aunty is stalking you !?
Hey! Nothing like that.
You said that your mother left you when you were little.
So?
I think your mother has come back looking for you.
Hey, be careful.
'Nazia!'
'What is that noise over there?' - You didn't get hurt, right?
I'm in trouble! Okay, bye.
"Every day dawns!"
"Time will move on!"
"Loneliness will continue!"
"This is like the phase of a waning moon!"
"Like clouds that provide a cover for me"
"you came and faded away!"
"I'm struggling."
"I'm a poem, you are a riddle!"
"I don't wish to know the answers."
"Then why worry?"
"I don't understand this."
"I'm a poem, you are a riddle!"
"My heart doesn't ask for answers!"
"Then why worry?"
"I don't understand this."
Yes! It's six. Move it..
Yes!
It's my turn again, it's six. - No, it's five.
Hey, come on.
Fold the four sides in the same way. - Oh.
Sorry.
Is there no other good college in Dubai?
Why?
If not, didn't you get admission in any other college?
Why are you studying in a college in this town?
There is no particular reason. - There must be a reason.
Maybe. - What is it? Tell me.
You go to school first, then I will tell you.
"A crescent that grows.."
Are you studying?
Do you have an exam tomorrow?
Which subject are you studying?
Maths?
Hey, please, let me study for a while.
For a while.
Okay, okay.
Science?
Corner Bakery?
Wait a minute.
"Happy birthday to you!"
"Happy birthday, dear Nazia!"
"Happy birthday"
"to you!"
Happy birthday!
I want cake too. - Wait..
If you eat it without sharing, you'll suffer a stomach ache.
I don't mind if I suffer a stomach ache
after eating this delicious cake.
If you find the cake to be delicious
try the Cream Bun at that shop.
Is that so?
The Corner Bakery's Cream Bun is the world's best Cream Bun.
Okay, how was the birthday song?
It was good. - Thanks.
But, don't pick up the guitar and go sing somewhere everyday.
Singing a birthday song for little ones is fine.
Oh, my, you're so mean.
I said it for your welfare.
I'm not going to give you any birthday present. Go away!
I can't even taste the cake.
How will you give a birthday gift?
It's possible.
Tonight I planned to give you a surprise gift..
Okay, look here, come here on Friday at 9 p.m. Okay?
Friday?
Why? - No, it's nothing.
Can't you prepone the surprise to tomorrow?
I'm a little busy tomorrow. - Why?
My father is coming. - Is he coming from Dubai?
How long will he stay?
He will leave in a day. You must come on Friday night.
Dad, did you bring what I asked for?
I got a call from your college.
They complained that your attendance is low.
So what if my attendance is low, Dad?
I am securing high marks. That will suffice, right?
In that case, why are you paying a huge fee to go to college?
You can study by distance learning.
Okay, Dad, don't pay fee from the next semester.
Don't think you're the only one with problems in the world.
Love, break up, these are normal in college life.
What happened? - This is enough for me.
This is your problem!
You are not trying to understand what I am trying to say.
Yes.
It's my fault if I don't understand you
or even if you don't understand me.
Basically, it's all my fault.
I'm leaving, Dad. - Hey, sit down!
You're an adult now, just behave like one.
People of your age are achieving everything in life.
You are getting upset over a trivial issue.
I am also trying to understand you.
But I couldn't.
What?
You couldn't understand me. But what if mom was here?
What would've happened if she was here?
What do you mean? - Nothing.
Sorry.
I know you have come to this town only for that girl.
I should have stopped you then.
Let bygones be bygones.
You are coming with me to Dubai after this semester.
Eat now.
Don't you know that you shouldn't smoke cigarettes
When a small girl is around.
Are you angry with me?
Are you mad at me for not coming to see you that night?
No, do you think I have nothing else to do?
Turn around and look at me then.
My semester exam is round the corner, I need to study
we can talk tomorrow.
What if I'm not alive tomorrow?
I've started undergoing chemotherapy
Can you please stop?
The movies are really spoiling you.
Hey, are you playing a prank?
No, I'm telling the truth.
H-How? W-When?
Why didn't you tell me about this?
I thought you would have figured it out.
How could I have figured it out?
I was the class topper till 6th Grade.
Why would I suddenly stop going to school?
Am I stupid?
You could have told me this.
Why? What else did you think?
No, nothing. - It's okay, tell me.
I thought, your father..
I thought your family is very orthodox
so they don't send you to school.. - Oh!
And you think i am getting influenced in a bad way by the movies?
Do you now regret being angry with me?
Don't be angry with anyone.
Because you never know when someone will die.
What is that?
That is your surprise gift. - What's that?
Wait, I'll tell you. Okay. First you close your eyes.
Don't open your eyes until I tell you. Okay?
Hey, close your eyes.
Can I open my eyes? - No.
Now? - Wait until I tell you.
Can I open my eyes now?
You couldnt go to the cinemas right?
That's why I brought the cinema here, open your eyes and see.
Hello, Dad!
No, I just gave you a call.
Nothing as such, Dad.
All good, Dad. When did you reach?
Hi, ma'am. - Hi.
Sethu.
You received a letter in the mail yesterday.
I have kept it in the letterbox, upstairs.
Okay, I'll check, thank you. - Okay.
"I cover a distance"
"with each short stroll."
"The wounds that heal"
"with each short stroll.."
"The new paths that emerge.."
"The new mornings.."
"There are no changes."
"There are no furies in the heart."
"There is no anger."
"No sorrows exist."
"The new paths that emerge."
"The new mornings."
You bowl it, dude..
Catch it, buddy.
Catch it! Catch it!
Hey, what are you.. Just come.
He dropped the ball.. - Throw it.
Hit it.. - Out!
Bowl it properly.
Just move backwards on the pitch. That side..
'He is standing there..' - Hey, wait a moment.
Hey! - I am leaving.
I'm going.. - Where are you going? - Hey!
We planned to go to the movies but you..
But you're walking away. - What time is the show?
8.45 p.m.
No, sorry, dude. - Why?
I'm heading over to meet a friend.
Who is that friend, exactly?
You don't know her. She is fighting cancer.
She is relocating for a few months.. - Oh.
...to receive her treatment. - Oh!
So I can meet her only if I go before 8 p.m.
Okay. - Bye.
Bye.
You bowl it, dude. Let's play. He is not available.
Bye!
Bye.. - "The dawning of new mornings."
"There are no changes."
"There are no furies in the heart."
"There is no anger."
Sethu! - Sir! - What happened?
I left my room key at a friend's house.
Can you give the spare key?
Okay, wait.
Oh, no! What happened, Sethu? You are drenched.
Come in. - No. It's okay, aunty.
Come in!
Aunty!
Sethu!
Change the lock if the key cannot be located.
Okay.
Nazia!
N-Nazia!
Nazia!
Come!
Hey!
Are you saying that you saw the girl in this?
I think there might be an issue with this house.
Look. It seems like the set of the movie 'The Conjuring.'
It's better that you move in to my house.
After the semester is over, you can go to Dubai.
Okay?
You don't believe me, right?
How do you expect me to believe it?
You say it is a young girl.
You claim she is seen in the mirror.
You claim she is a fan of Kamal.
Would any 10-year-old girl argue with her father
and come and sit in this loft?
That too at night?
Just let it go.
This is the issue with reading excessively.
She was here.
What?
Nazia.
She was here. - Where?
It is when and not where that matters.
Dude, look at this.
Nazia hit the almirah with her bicycle one day
causing the toolbox to fall to the ground.
That mark is still evident. Look!
When it happened, I witnessed it.
When I moved in, the damage was already present.
Perhaps, I didn't notice.
She was here before I moved in.
You mean, in this loft?
No, she was in this house!
Listen, dude.
The current owner purchased
and renovated this home in the early 90s.
Maybe she lived here before that.
This mirror
has shown me this house and Nazia’s life from thirty years ago
What are you saying, Sethu? - Hey, she..
She wasn't in the mirror.
She was speaking to me through the mirror.
It's difficult for you to understand.
Even I am beginning to realise things now.
Just let it be.
Dude!
If what I'm assuming is true
and if she had survived her cancer...
We have to somehow find her.
Nazia.
You don't know her full name, do you?
We can't search in social media as well.
Okay, lets assume that what ever you said is true.
Why didn't you get her phone number?
Okay.. It was 1990s..
She is just a kid. She won't have a phone.
Did you at least ask her
Where did she relocate to for treatment?
We could've made a phone call to the hospital and enquired.
They probably have old records.
Her address might have been there.
We could have at least posted a letter.
I don't know anything.
I don't know her address. I don't know her phone number.
I'm not even sure if she is real, Is that enough?
Why do you get angry?
Have you ever written a letter?
When was the last time you saw a letter?
At the college.
Progress reports will be sent through mail.
'You received a letter in the mail yesterday.'
'A letter that is addressed to me? - Yes.'
'I have kept it in the letterbox upstairs.'
'Okay, I will check it, ma'am. - Okay.'
Is it wrong to ask about writing letters?
We are the ones who do not know her address.
But she knows my address.
Is it?
She could have sent me a letter, right?
Hey.. Where are you going?
My bag..
I'm unsure of how to begin this letter.
A few days ago, when I saw you at the Corner Bakery
I had the impression that I had seen you before.
'Arjun, isn't he your client? Student loan..'
'Don't stare at him, right away!'
After giving it a lot of thought all night
suddenly I recalled everything.
Apparently, hallucinations and delirium
are among the side effects of chemotherapy.
I was unsure if I had actually seen you when I was young.
I wasn't sure if it was real or a dream.
No one understood what I said
and no one believed me either.
Those days had faded away like a forgotten dream.
In 1992, my father said we are going for the treatment.
Nobody mentioned that we've sold this residence
in order to pay for my treatment.
Nobody considered telling a 10-year-old girl
that we won't be returning this house again.
After realising it was you
whom I had seen in the Corner Bakery
I came to the house in search of you.
But I didn't have to courage to come in and meet you.
I didn't know how to explain things to you, so I left.
Hence, I am writing you this letter.
My name is Nazia.
I am an Associate Manager for a bank.
Every day at 6 o'clock after work
I go to Corner Bakery for a snack.
The Cream Bun from that bakery is still the best thing around.
If you've understood who I am
we shall meet soon.
You see, when you didn't show up for two days
I was prepared to go back to Dubai.
In that time, I survived cancer, two board exams
and a marriage.
I also have two children.
