A different beat

I got it!
They're at the Pune Cantonment.
I've asked for the phone number.
Will have it in two days.
-Please give me some time, Sundari.
-Thank you.
One more time!
I got it!
They're at the Pune Cantonment.
I've asked for the phone number.
Will have it in two days.
Please give me some time, Sundari.
Aththai!
Last September, when I was to go on a trip
to Coimbatore with Aunt Susheela,
on the same day he fell sick
after eating masala dosa
and I had to cancel my trip.
Remember that?
It was all an act!
When I wanted to go to Mahabalipuram
for my school reunion,
he said there was an issue at work
and he might even lose his job.
That too?
Obviously drama!
Full drama!
It's all coming back to me now.
Why did he have to lie to me?
Why doesn't he just tell me
that he doesn't want me to go?
Why?
Does that make it okay?
No. But that would've been
the right thing to do.
Instead of being honest.
This is…
Emotional blackmail.
Correct?
We seem so dependent on them.
They take us for granted
and don't respect us one bit.
When they're happy,
we must be happy too.
When they're hungry,
we must eat.
When they're sleepy,
we must sleep.
When they want to pee,
we must do it too!
Appa's not that bad!
Daddy's little girl!
I know, I know.
Actually, when we were newly-wed when
I said I wanted to visit my amma…
he'd feel feverish right away!
There's no hope for you, Ma!
Sapphire, Blue Diamond, Emerald,
Midland, Plaza, Gaiety…
In every theater, your husband has
been playing you the same movie.
All drama!
He's a real drama king!
Stop the car, kutty!
What happened?
Please stop the car!
What's the matter, Aththai?
A crime is happening now.
We escaped the Besant Nagar prison!
Instead of having a grand celebration…
we're going about it like it's any day?
We have to celebrate!
Otherwise, it's criminal!
But aren't we already
going to Goa, Aththai?
That was the plan anyway.
We need a special celebration.
Right here! Right now!
Poor Kaveri!
She is finally coming along willingly
without any coercion.
Must we not celebrate that?
But how do we celebrate here?
Sindhuja and Rashi mentioned
a folk festival around here.
Sounded like fun.
Shall we go?
Good idea!
-Okay! Let's go!
-Yes!
Alright, let's go!
THE TOWN HALL FES
There she goes again!
Let's not do this.
Let's go back.
You do you!
We'll just go about our way.
You always insist I listen to my elders.
I'm listening!
Doesn't look good at all, right?
I'll change right away!
Where was this style hiding
all this time, Ma?
You look hot!
Earrings?
-Really?
-You look sexy!
Wear these.
Let's do up your hair.
-Wow, Aththai!
-What does the t-shirt day, Paati?
-"Dosa!"
-Wow to you, too!
Okay.
We split up.
That that person, that that problem.
I've already left!
Hold on, Aththai!
Let's all stay together!
If I knew you were leaving me alone,
I would have stayed home!
Alright then.
Tell us what you want to do.
How about this?
Let's cook for everyone!
Oh, please!
-Look there!
-What is she looking at?
Isn't she calling us?
They're inviting us! Come!
Some stranger is calling
and she runs over to them!
-Careful!
-Move, you!
Don't just waltz in there!
Wow!
What's this now?
-There's no one here.
-No one around!
What is this place?
Hey, Nivi!
Must be an eye doctor.
Look! So many eyes!
Been expecting you!
The maiden, the mother, and the dame!
-Sit!
-Wow! Foreign astrology!
Have a seat, both of you!
Welcome to Chef Sabharish
YouTube channel.
Today, we'll be making
the awesome chicken dum biryani.
Many people requested this dish
in my last video.
We're going to make it
without charcoal…
Let's get to it.
MY HOME, MY WORLD
I see…
you are confused!
Hey! See that?
How specific!
Music!
Lights!
Festivities!
A man!
I see a man.
A secret past!
A secret rendezvous.
Something sleeping in you
is about to wake up!
An awakening ghost of the past.
-An awakening!
-No! Nothing like that!
Well… this is my aththai! Here!
We are here for her!
What will I be when I grow up, Akka?
Dame!
You have had a long journey.
Very far!
But the path has taken you away
from a loved one.
Switching directions,
the path has led elsewhere.
But now, you're changing your path…
towards freedom.
-You have a lot of questions within!
-Indeed!
Answers too!
No delay.
No stopping.
You'll soon be with the one you seek.
But your time is running out.
The clock is ticking.
That's enough, Aththai.
We're late.
Let's get going.
Paati!
Come, Paati!
See you.
What rubbish!
"Secret rendezvous", it seems!
That too, for Amma!
Okay, guys!
Two hours.
My time's running out.
See you!
Okay?
Bye!
"Aththai's running out of time.
She will join the one she seeks."
Did you get it, Nivi?
She's going to your thatha.
Don't worry. She'll send both of us
up there, before she goes!
Okay?
Look around by yourself for a bit.
Oh, no!
Just stick with me for a while, please.
Fine, come along.
This new journey…
I've never witnessed before
I wish to proclaim that
Because of your existence
I've found my heart and it has blossomed
But my heart is speechless
This new journey…
I've never witnessed before
An experience anew…
I see in him
Passionate thoughts
That existed not before now…
Cheeks deliciously ache
For the caress of that golden hand
A soulful melody…
Lulls me every day
My heart becomes a flower, a fire
And dances with exuberance
An alluring charm…
Sets me ablaze
A bewitching pair of eyes…
-Hold me in its thrall
-Kaveri… you may go!
Your soft caress
Sends my heart swaying
On a golden swing
Our fingers entwined
The heart melts sweet as honey
To tread this lingering path of love…
Come, O come…
My dear
The sweet flutters calm not in me
The blue sky ends not for me
The time is ours, now and forever
The feet hasten to keep pace with yours
And you
This new journey…
I've never witnessed before
F!
"F"?
Tamil?
I'm fine!
Yup! You're welcome!
You should be apologizing.
Honestly, for knocking your phone down…
you should be thanking me!
Because you look happier now.
Also, your face was buried in your phone
and you bumped into me.
You should be the one to apologize.
Fine, you're right.
I'm sorry.
Apology accepted.
-Where are you headed?
-I have no idea.
One second!
Into the oceans deep
Beyond the boundless skies
A human, I reign supreme
The sun might go down…
Yet, my lights keep burning bright
The primal forests
And the towering peaks--
This place works for you?
Interesting.
Okay, I'll leave you to it.
If you need anything, give me a shout.
I'll be around.
Why leave if you're going to be around?
Yet…
The Earth does not spin for me
It felt like you wanted to be alone.
So I shouldn't presume
to impose on you.
Presume away!
I can't!
Suit yourself!
You clearly told me to stay.
Why then should I presume?
Vikram.
Niveditha.
Who has the power?
The Earth does not spin for me
He might save countless lives
Yet he keeps his date with death
You're here by yourself?
No. See that bunch singing over there?
Those guys are my biker gang.
We're riding from Bangalore to Ladakh.
Layover wherever we feel like it.
And this felt like a good place to stop.
-The biker life!
-Yeah!
Very cool!
What do you do?
I'm a cricketer!
"Cricketer?"
-Interesting…
-Why?
What were you expecting me to say?
A doctor or an engineer?
Or a journalist?
What?
You're a journalist?
Okay…
You studied engineering.
You realized that it didn't interest you
and hence you chose the biker life.
I am the ruler of all realms
In vain, I thought that made me God
What then?
The other boring uncle you spoke of.
What?
You're a doctor?
No way!
What?
First, you insult my profession.
Next, you insinuate that
I'm not even good enough for it.
Wow!
All of nature burst forth in their glory
Without me, all life forms revel in joy
For…
The Earth does not spin for me
You should join in.
You sing beautifully!
I'm not a singer.
Who has the means?
What?
To bring back the dead…
Who has the power?
Actually…
you look like a free spirit
that runs wild with the wind.
No matter how much I look,
I don't see a stethoscope.
Who do you think pays for the bike?
Dr. Vikram sponsors biker Vikram.
Only the spirit is free.
The EMI for the bike must be paid!
And who knows…
a black jacket may save a life
that a white coat can't.
Sometimes, if you
don't want to go crazy…
you need to go away.
That, I know.
Hello!
Hello, ma'am!
Hello! Ma'am!
Ma'am! Hello!
Hello, ma'am!
Hello, ma'am!
What do you want me to see?
Everything is seen anyway!
What's with the blouse?
You might as well not wear it!
Do you feel that you are still in college?
You're a mother of two.
Have you forgotten that?
What's with the glamming up, then?
Did I ask for it?
I won't think like that.
But other men aren't like me.
If you dress like this,
you will give them the wrong idea.
Why should we give them that chance?
You get it, right?
Only now, do you appear comfortable
with yourself. Am I right?
Hi, Bala!
Come over!
It's a good match!
Hi, Pa!
How was your day?
Yeah, it was okay.
Normal.
I had a stressful day at work today.
I had to present the financial findings
at the board meeting.
I couldn't concentrate…
from being constantly worried
about the three of them.
I only had fruits today.
My stomach was growling in hunger.
If that wasn't enough…
Remember Ramesh?
He was trying to put me
down in front of everybody.
But I was onto his plans.
I handled it.
Super, Pa.
Lock the door, Appa.
I have a key. Don't wait up.
What happened at work today?
Work happened!
What is it about drums?
It resonates with life.
You know…
the human heart is a drum.
Beats. Timing. Rhythm.
It's the measure of life!
Now I see Dr. Vikram!
Well, you're the cricketer.
You tell me.
That's true.
Rhythm, timing… it's everything.
I've not been practicing.
Mine's totally off.
Me too.
I don't even know
if I'm a doctor anymore!
If you're not a doctor, what are you?
I am…
here!
Thank you so much, Vatsala!
Thanks a lot for calling!
Otherwise, I must call on the gods
to get these two to stay here--
Oh, no!
Hey!
Bye, Vikram!
Nivi!
Come here!
What the heck, Ma?
Who is he?
What were you doing with him?
I just met him--
Exactly!
"Just met him", right?
Then why the cuddling?
This is too much, Ma.
Don't overreact!
Why? Can't you speak without touching?
What will others think?
Don't you already have a boyfriend--
Amma!
Just shut up!
How am I supposed to talk to you, Ma?
You don't hear a word I say!
I can't talk to you about anything!
I'm always wrong!
You're always right!
Do you even know me, Ma?
Hey!
What's wrong?
What happened?
Our car…
Someone stole our car!
-"Our car"?
-Yes!
Come on!
I can't find it anywhere!
I told you they took off in it!
I saw it with my own eyes!
-Which way did they go?
-What do we do now?
Over here!
Sir?
He's stoned, Ma.
He has smoked weed!
Very good!
I don't believe this!
Can you believe this?
-What--
-Silence!
I haven't gone doubles in twenty years!
What about triples?
Focus, Ma!
Don't let the car out of your sight!
-Watch out, Ma!
-Quiet!
-Watch what? Besides the road--
-Concentrate!
-You concentrate!
-Aththai!
Look at our car go!
Oh, God! Your amma is possessed!
Hey!
That's our car!
-Pull over!
-Ride carefully!
Stop, Ma!
-What are you doing?
-Are they following us, baby?
-Someone listen to me!
-They're chasing us!
-Get out!
-I've heard a lot of such people.
-They're dacoits!
-Crazy women!
-Get out of the car or you've had it!
-Listen, Paati!
-Whatever you do, don't pull over!
-That's not our car, ma!
-It isn't?
-Stop, Amma!
Just stop!
Where did that car go?
How does it matter, Ma?
It wasn't our car!
-Didn't we see it with our own eyes--
-Not "we"! You!
We blindly followed you and them!
-It's definitely not our car?
-It's not even the same model!
Registered in Karnataka too!
Weren't you yelling about the missing car
in the parking lot too?
Oh, right.
It's not there either.
Shit! Shit! Shit!
We went after the wrong car!
Where is our car?
God knows who has it!
Okay…
Where exactly are we?
