LET THEM LOVE
"There are only two castes of people on Earth
based on the principle of natural justice."
"Those who give belong to the upper caste,
and those who do not, belong to the lower."
Meaning, there are only two types of people in the world.
But before we get into that, you should know about these two people.
Mr. Narikutty and Mr. Veerasimman.
They dare to label me as a caste fanatic!
I wish to say just one thing.
My only goal is equality. Parity.
This fifth inter-caste wedding ceremony organized by me is a testament to this.
The motto of the Great Governance Party…
Equality.
What's another word for it in English? Balance.
You see, it's because of honor killings that a balance is maintained.
If you dig a little deeper, you'll see that it's what our people like.
Look at our films.
Kaadhal, Bharathi Kannamma, and even Titanic. It's all the same story.
Upper caste and lower caste. They don't get together even in the end.
That's why these movies were big hits.
If Jack had been united with Rose, Titanic would have flopped.
The leader's job is to preach about equality in society.
Our job is to balance it out. Okay?
-What will you do with him? -Let's burn him.
That's a great idea.
There are people with cameras. It could end up on YouTube.
Got it?
-So sneak him out and kill him discreetly. -Yes, brother.
You need to understand those two to understand these two.
Aadhilakshmi. Jothilakshmi. Twins.
They haven't spoken to each other in a year.
I am the mediator.
-Hi, Aadhi. -Hi. Where is she?
-She's in the shower. -At this hour? I need to talk to her.
I am going to tell Dad about my boyfriend.
She will get into trouble if she tells Dad. She knows that.
Dad isn't the same old person. He has changed a lot.
I know what to do. I'll handle it.
Bye, Penelope.
The deal with her boyfriend is still all right.
If your dad were to find out about you…
Dad.
I told you I want to discuss something really important with you.
Can we talk about it now?
Let's talk about it at home.
But, Dad, I've finally mustered up the courage to talk about it.
Let me speak before I lose it again. Please?
Let's talk about it at home.
You are always surrounded by your men at home.
I won't be able to discuss this with you.
This is very personal, Dad. Please.
-Boy… -Sir?
-Pull over. -Okay, sir.
-Just pull over to the side. -Yes, sir.
Come.
Have you no sense? How can we talk in front of the driver?
Dad, I have something personal to discuss.
Personal issues should be discussed at home, not in front of the driver.
I have to tell you about my lover.
Hey, wait inside the car.
Such an idiot.
Dad…
I have to tell you about… my lover.
Don't misunderstand me, sir.
I kept telling myself not to look at her, but I looked.
Kept telling myself not to speak with her, but I spoke with her.
I kept telling myself not to fall in love with her,
but I fell in love.
Sir, I'm well educated.
I can find a good job in the city.
I'm working as a driver here so that I can stay close to my mother.
Trust me. I'll take good care of her.
Dad…
when I am with him…
it feels like I am with Mom.
You have gotten so many couples together.
Please accept us, too.
Please?
Hi!
-Son. -Sir?
Ask your family to come see me tomorrow.
-Okay, sir. -How will they come?
They'll either take a bus or a share-auto.
That won't be good for their first visit. Take the car.
-This car? -Yes, this car.
-Bring them tomorrow. -Okay, sir. Thank you.
Let's talk it out and get it over with.
Dad accepted!
They are coming home tomorrow to ask for my hand in marriage.
I wish you were here.
Jothi, I'm talking to you.
Won't you talk to me?
You should tell Dad about your love, too.
Dad isn't the same old person. He has really changed.
It would be nice if you can make it tomorrow.
Jothi, I'm talking to you.
Won't you talk to me?
Fine!
Bye, Penelope.
-Bye, Jothi. -Bye.
You could have spoken to her.
It could have been that moment when Aadhilakshmi and Jothilakshmi reconciled.
That moment can't happen over a video call.
It should be an emotional, dramatic, happy, and jolly moment.
We can't keep doing this.
She is my child, after all.
I'm thinking I'll get her married to him.
Is he drunk?
What's wrong with him?
Do you know why you're the leader even though there are so many of us?
You have worked harder than the rest of us.
You have made more sacrifices than the rest of us.
When you face a situation like this, you should lead by example.
"Even when it was his daughter, the leader didn't show any mercy."
That will inspire fear.
Our people should live with that fear.
-She is my daughter, man. -"Yeah, man."
"She is your daughter, man. You should've raised her right, man."
Hey…
Isn't that what the society would say, Leader?
Leave it to me. I'll take care of it.
Trust me.
Sir?
My car has been missing for two days now.
I suspect the driver.
File a complaint against him. Understood?
Understood, sir. I'll take care of it.
Aadhi!
Yes, Dad?
You boldly walked up to me and said you're in love with our driver.
I accepted it, too.
What if I was the same person as before?
What would you have done if I hadn't accepted it?
Don't be afraid. Tell me. I accepted it, didn't I? I'm just curious.
What would you have done if I didn't accept it?
I would have eloped with him.
Sorry.
You would have eloped with him?
Don't elope, my girl. No need for that. I have agreed.
Go for your bath.
-Dear. -Yes, Dad?
Come here.
Go, my dear.
-I heard some noise in there. -I know. Wait!
I'm going to step out now.
Come outside and say these exact words,
"No! Madam is lying unconscious in the bathroom."
Say it loud enough for everyone to hear.
What will you say?
No! Madam is lying unconscious in the bathroom.
Yes, just say that. Okay?
KGF, I'm going now. Bring her at the right time.
Okay.
-Ma'am? -Hey, come here.
THE LIGHT OF ALL LIGHTS… OUR BROTHER VEERASIMMAN
Say it loud enough for everyone to hear.
-Yes, dear? -I know all about it, Dad.
Not now.
What do you know?
That you accepted Aadhi's love.
You allow me to do whatever I want.
You aren't the same old person.
It's been a while since I've seen you.
Come home soon, Jothi.
As you wish.
Here I am, Dad.
Keep honking till he opens the gate.
Dad!
Like my surprise? Caught you unawares, didn't I?
Don't tell Aadhi that I'm home. Let it be a surprise.
-I haven't spoken to her in a year. -Hello.
So I wanted to speak to her in person.
Where is she?
She's gone to fetch the groom's family.
-This is my friend, Penelope. -Hello.
-This is B-Cube. -Hi, sir. Greetings. B-Cube.
Let's go in. Hey, come.
You know what, that's my favorite spot. Come!
-Welcome, ma'am. -Welcome, ma'am.
-Jothi, where's the washroom? -Go in.
-Nari, you take her. -Come.
-Madam has become stylish since she left. -Yeah.
B-Cube, what are you doing?
Be back in two minutes, Jo. Just looking around.
-Madam, what is your name? -Penelope.
-What? Penile-Pee? -No.
-Pen… -Pen?
-Penelope. -What sort of a name is that?
-Dear. -Dad?
I'll finish my prayers, and then we can eat.
Your face is giving it away.
Keep mopping.
Bathroom out. Water problem. Come.
-KGF, take her to the bathroom. -Yes, brother.
Don't let it show. Look normal!
Thank you.
White women are something else!
Let's take a picture, friends.
Where is she?
She's gone to fetch the groom's family.
Your face is giving it away.
Keep mopping.
Something is not right.
Hello?
-Yes? -What was your name again?
Sa-Re-Ga-Ma-Pa-Da-Ni.
My name is Bad Boy Bharani. In short, they call me B-Cube, bro.
So, this is how you say your name?
Bro, that's my swag, my style, and everything.
Okay, then!
Ask our Jothi. She will tell you everything about me.
"Our Jothi"? So that's how it is?
-Looks like something happened. -Be quiet.
Let's not poke our noses in this. I'm already scared.
Something's fishy.
You have brought home strange people who say, "Jothi will tell you everything."
Something going on between the two of you?
-Is this the time for visitors? -I don't know what will happen now.
-B-Cube, come. -Yeah, coming.
Bye, guys. Bye! See you again.
I was the one who got Aadhi's issue settled.
Can I help you with something, too?
You have nothing to fear. Trust me. I'll get it done.
Something is wrong.
You can tell me.
So there is something, right?
Okay, I'll take care of it.
Here he is.
I know.
I'll take it from here.
What took you so long?
Why would you speak Tamil to a foreigner?
You have no idea. Her Tamil is really good.
-What? Does she understand Tamil? -Yes.
Do you understand Tamil?
What do you know in Tamil?
Some swear words.
Swear words? Which ones do you know?
Pimp. Cunt hair. Dumb prick.
Fuck you. No, that's not right.
So…
-Fuck! -Fuck!
-Like, "What the fuck?" -Fuck. With swag.
Do you know what "cheap whore" means?
No, it seems like a big word.
There are even better ones. Do you know what "venomous whore" means?
Venomous… No.
If you see the lowest form of filth, use this word on them.
Actually, you tell that to the person you hate the most.
-Okay. -Yeah.
-I'll keep that in mind. -Keep it.
What happened?
Aadhi, pick up the call.
-Food is ready. Let's eat? -Sure, Dad.
Come on.
Come.
The food is excellent.
We have already done it once. What now?
Consider this the day of human sacrifices. Let's get them all.
Let's get the guy first. I find him repulsive.
I'll take care of it. Trust me.
Come upstairs.
-Let's take B-Cube with us. -Yes.
What was your name again?
-Bharani, bro. -You said it differently last time.
I was in a different state then. I'm in a different state now.
-Where are you from? -Bombay… I mean, Mumbai-17.
-Are you from Dharavi? -Yes, sir.
-Don't you know your place? -Why are you hitting me, bro?
-Falling in love with one of our women? -I promise, no!
-She admitted to it. Speak the truth. -Why are you hitting me, bro?
Sir, I haven't… Sir, ask Jothi. I haven't done anything wrong.
-Upstairs. -I didn't do anything.
-You eat with us like an equal? -I wouldn't have if I'd known.
Don't you know your place?
-Please let go of my hair, bro. -What's all this?
-What are you doing? -Help, Jothi! They are hitting me.
Please tell them to stop. Please tell them.
Dad, I thought you were a changed person. What is all this?
Are you in love with this boy?
-They don't believe me. -I'm not in love with him.
You just admitted to being in love with him.
I did say I was in love, but did I tell you it was him?
I asked you if you were in love. You admitted to it.
I did say that, but did I say it was him?
Who, then? Who else was there?
Excuse me.
Actually…
we are in love.
-What? -Not him.
We are lesbians.
ESPN? The sports channel?
Lesbians.
Two girls…
make love.
Can you explain?
Two women in love with each other are called lesbians. It's true, Dad.
Fearing you guys, I never talked to boys.
I was always talking to girls, and then I fell in love with her.
I'm even ready to bury my love.
I just want to live in peace.
I will marry whomever you choose for me.
Please let him go.
There's nothing between us. Please, Dad.
Boss, don't believe them. They're confusing you.
We are in love.
We are lesbians.
Holding hands makes you ESPNs?
We are lesbians. Believe us.
Kissing on the cheek makes you ESPNs?
Boss, they are trying to confuse us.
They're acting. Don't believe them.
Kissing on the lips makes you ESPNs?
Ask them to do something else. I don't believe--
Is my daughter supposed to perform a sex scene for you?
Is that enough, sir? Are you happy now?
It's them. They are in love. Why did you hit me, sir?
But the thing about her is,
she is superior in caste and status than all of us here.
Both of them belong to the same caste. They are women.
Get them together, sir. Don't think twice. Your only problem is caste, right?
Let them be, sir.
Boss, don't. Let's finish them off.
Jothi, I thought you were a good girl who always obeyed her father,
and I let you do things as you pleased.
What the hell have you done?
To me, my caste, creed, community, and honor are everything.
Your sister is dead.
Do you want to see? Should I take you to her?
I will bury you along with her and walk away.
If you promise to behave, I'll send these two back alive.
And if you don't, I will let the men do as they please.
Understood?
Understood.
Boss!
What is it?
Madam is lying unconscious on the bathroom floor.
-I know. Go away. -You know?
You know?
That moment can't happen over a video call.
It should be an emotional, dramatic, happy, and jolly moment.
Aadhi!
Sorry.
Sir, there's been an accident. Your driver died on the spot.
In life, everyone gets one chance to escape.
They must make use of that chance.
Got it?
I get it.
Leave.
-And Jothi? -She is my daughter.
I'll take care of her.
You were brought to life by my life
And now, I have taken your life
Coming into this world as my child
That was your only fault, my dear
It won't heal, it will never heal
My scars will never heal
You're gone, gone so far away
But my sorrow is here to stay
Our kith and kin incited me, my child
Your loss showed me the light, my child
My anger has dwindled, my child
My resolve has withered, my child
Forgive and forget my sins
My child
Forgive and forget my sins
My child
What is it, dear?
What is this, Dad?
More than your daughter, your family, your love…
you value your caste, honor, and pride.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Lions mate with lionesses,
elephants mate with elephants,
and dogs with bitches.
But she didn't fall in love with a monkey, did she?
He was human, too.
"This boy is from my caste, so I must fall in love with him."
"That boy isn't from my caste, so I can't love him."
Did you think love works that way, Dad?
It's love, Dad. It just happens.
I don't get it!
I don't like it!
I don't like living here at all.
Every moment I spend here, I feel like dying.
What you did to Aadhi,
please do the same with me and end my misery.
If not…
my friends will be here in a few minutes.
I'll leave with them.
Don't stop me.
If you try to stop me, I'll kill myself.
I will be out of your sight and live in peace.
Go, my dear.
Forgive and forget my sins
My child
Jothi, did you tell him you're leaving?
-Hey… -They're getting away. That's Penelope.
Don't let them get away!
Forgive and forget my sins
My child
Hello, sir.
Not bad!
You didn't stop your daughter. Not bad at all.
By the way, your daughter is not a lesbian.
It was all an act to save B-Cube.
But there's nothing wrong with being a lesbian, either.
Nothing is wrong in love.
Anybody can be in love with anybody.
Why mess with others' lives?
If someone is in love, let them be.
Can you pass the phone to that little chap?
Brother!
Just wanted to say one thing to you.
Drop dead, you venomous bastard.
Hey, give me the phone. I'll handle him.
Listen up, yo
Let the lovers be Let 'em, let 'em be
Venomous bastard!
What an apt name for you!
Let the lovers be Let 'em live peacefully
Let the lovers be Gimme a reason, tell me
Why d'ya glare daggers? Why d'ya hate lovers?
Insides filled with such ire It spreads like wildfire
Hold on, wait a second
Drop your cruel spirit Don't cross your limit
Or you'll face the music Did'ya get it? Fantastic
We don't see no caste or creed When we get committed
Ain't no lock can confine love
Ain't no bullet can prevent love
Ain't no sword can slaughter love
You can kill the lover Ain't no death for love, ever
Let the lovers be Let 'em, let 'em be
Let the lovers be
