Life’s full of dreams
My dream, Aadhi
Feels like the payoff for all that hard work this year.
Higher studies , BITS Pilani.
We made it Aadhi!
It’s all because of you.
Because of us!
The dream we built together
This Engineering, higher studies, career...
A life without struggle
Not just for higher studies But for us too
For us, to be together
Is this like a pre-wedding rehearsasl or something?
You’re talking like we’ve never rehearsed before
Are you sure we’re going to study?
Don’t laugh.
Aadhi...
Careful
After finishing PG, landing a job in a big corporate, and getting settled in life
we can finally do whatever we want
We can be happy
After that, wherever you want to go, I’ll take you there myself...
We will make a route map for everything
I can’t even think of going anywhere without you, Santhosh.
With you, I feel like myself
I will always be there for you Adhi!
Adhi, have you packed everything?
Don’t come to me saying you forgot something
We are renting this flat in Pune for studying for three years, not to start a family.
You keep buying stuffs?
New town, new life, I need to dress properly, right?
Aadhi?
Dad? Dad, wake up!
Mom, come here please!
Aadhi? Dad... please wake up - What happened?
Dear?
Wake up! - Dad?
What happened to you? - Dad?
Dear.... Dear? - Dad?
Dad, what happened?
Dear?
Dad, you will be okay!
Look at me, dad - what happened to you...
Dad... You will be okay!
Let’s go to hospital
Look at me, dad
Aadhirai, Your father has had an ischemic stroke
It’s not very serious right now , maybe we can discharge in three days
But he can’t walk like before he won’t be fully active
Someone should stay with him to take care properly
The condition can be improved with proper treatment, but I can’t say how long it will take
You’re turning down the offer you worked so hard for, just to take a job?
That too, for a banking job?
Are you insane? Have you lost yourself?
Yes. I'm lost.
My dad collapsed right in front of you!
My father’s health condition, our family’s situation
You didn’t hear any of that?
But you did hear that I wanted to take a job?
Because that's more important, Adhi!
With the way things are right now, why are you deciding your future?
He’s been discharged and is home now, now he is well, right?
I’m talking to you, Adhi!
You know, right?
I need to go home. Let me go.
BITS - Pilani, this higher studies... these days are for us
Just us
How important they are to us
For so many days, in the name of studying, we would keep the book open and daydream like this
The two of us together
Two good years!
So many plans!
So much hard work!
How many small sacrifices hid behind this offer?
My father is not some small sacrifice! - The sacrifices we have made!
I’m not talking about what we’re going to do - Whatever we are...
I'm not telling you to do it.
It's within arm's reach, in just one more month
Now, when I think that all of that is not going to happen, it feels hard, Aadhi.
Just go!
We’ll figure it out
Really?
Only you’re going?
If you say no, I’m not going
Should I come with you and collect the debt?
Okay, Tell me
In the flat we saw so we could be together
Which girl are you going to be with?
Sillyhead!
Dad, I'm leaving for the office
Why don’t you just quit?
Hello, AB’s Bank It’s not approved
Careful, dad
I’m leaving, dad
Are you a school going kid to be spoon fed?
Bye dad!
waste of money!
All this expense, and for what? This body...
More than me?
What reckless spending did you do?
Yeah, four years for engineering
After that, one year preparing for BITS!
Leaving all that, I'm going to a bank job
If I had known this would happen beforehand and been prepared, how good would that have been, right?
It would be boring!
Alright!
Didn't you try anywhere else?
I didn’t attend campus interviews for higher studies
Also, I’ve lost a year.
I’ve applied for jobs, lets see dad
With me around, I'm making you all struggle a lot, aren't I?
I'm just lying around happily and bossing everyone around at home too
Leisurely!
Happily?
Happily!
What's it to me? I'm lying down comfortably and authoritatively demanding work.
Three women to do the work.
Oh?
Did Santhosh call?
Yeah...
I can't tell if he calls to fight or if a fight happens because he calls
It's that he has his final year project and all
He must be busy, Dad.
Should I get a job?
Ofcourse, dad!
Get up, drink some water, and go to work, Dad
What are you doing, Aadhi?
Are you mad?
Everyone is watching. Why are you behaving so indecently?
Indecent?
Where was your decency when you hugged me standing on the road?
You didn't feel like telling me, did you?
Not one call, not a single text
Nothing in this six months!
Don't tell me you didn't have time, Santhosh.
You know that's a lie.
It's been three days since you arrived.
You've met all your friends.
I thought you would come to Murali's wedding.
You thought?
Weekdays are office for me.
That's what's important to you, is it?
What else is important, Santhosh?
Will you take care of my financial needs?
You would’ve gotten a job offer in the lakhs
If you’d gone for this offer...
You wouldn’t be calling and begging people to pay back the loans
Do you even understand?
Don't feel hard to say ‘I'm done with you’
You easily told the lie that you would be with me until the end
Why this much hesitation to tell the truth, Santhosh?
At least I wouldn't foolishly be believing until you come back in the next six months.
Santhosh?
Santhosh!
Just tell me only once
You're not doing all this to avoid me, You really are busy, aren't you?
A customer came to my room. Where is he? - He left already, sir
He left already? - Yes sir
Oh!
Aadhirai, come to my cabin.
You don't know how to speak to a customer?
You can't even cleverly talk and collect debt
What's your problem?
You talked to him about the bank balance?
Have you lost your mind or what?
On top of this, you complain that you don't get a promotion!
Because you all don't work properly, I can't achieve my target
You all just want to get paid without doing anything, right?
This is why you shouldn't hire engineering graduates for bank jobs!
You’re taking away my soul
You are not dealing with machines here.
You are dealing with human beings.
Get that into your head.
Aadhirai?
Get lost
How, Dad?
What is it, dear?
I couldn't manage for four whole years
How did you manage for so many years, Dad?
It's like being blindfolded and left in a forest.
It's four years for you
It's forty years for me
We don't earn to spend
We earn by spending what we have
For all the payments due at the end of the month
We have to run all month
Aadhi...
I really like smoking cigar
In Marthandam, after you were born
I would give your mother my entire monthly salary
just to smoke one cigar
I would save up little by little all week
But your mother is a smart lady!
She’d find out!
“Stop smoking cigar”
“You cannot smoke cigar”
I want discipline.
But I can't live without smoking cigar for that
I would secretly smoke
There was some kind of happiness in smoking a cigar in secret
Secret cigar!
Yeah! Secret it is
Its wrong
it's bad for the body too
But these small mistakes that don't hurt others, those are what let us be ourselves
This job
our responsibilities...
All this will only increase
But you have to find your own happiness
One day, if you look back, we wouldn't have lived our own lives
We wouldn't have anything left for ourselves
Aadhi?
why are you lying down? Are you coming to the temple or not?
She won't come. Go What a pest!
I feared her back then, not now!

Hello... Aadhi where are you?
Where the hell did you go? - Mom?
How selfish? - No mom
How could you leave him like this? - Listen to me, one minute...
I want you at home in 30 minutes - Mom?
I didn't even know I was going to leave. So how could I tell you?
While talking to Dad, I remembered Marthandam.
It just occurred to me suddenly, and I left.
I'll be back in three days.
That’s the leaves I’m left with
I've kept the ATM card on the table. Take care of Dad safely. Bye.
Mom, is this the Marthandam album? - Oh, it’s here?
This is Jenny Akka, right? You remember everything?

Aadhi?
Only now you remembered me, huh?
Or did you come and talk to me just because you saw me?
Did you come with your parents?
Office tour?
Where are your friends?
Wait
Are you married?
You’re here with your husband?
Honeymoon?
If that had happened, why would I come looking for you?
Point
I've been searching for your address all day
Won't you reply if I message you on Instagram?
Aathirai 22?
That blank message read, ‘Hi you remember me?’
So it was you?
I only know you as 'Aadhi’
I completely forgot the name 'Aadhirai'.
So you saw it?
I saw it, but... I thought it’s a spam account
A girl's account too?
That's why I thought it’s spam
You had a total of about fifty followers
But you’re following a 500 people!
What will I naturally think? A spam account, right?
It’s my new account, I deleted my old one
Sometimes, moving away is better, right?
But he's happy, right?
New wedding, new bride...
New chapter of his life
But he made you wander in streets
To find you
And that’s good for me!
I thought you came to see me
But you needed a break up to meet me.
Fine!
What are you going to do if he comes here for his honeymoon?
Hey, why are you bringing that up? I came here precisely to forget all that.
Sometimes, facing it is better than moving away.
Easier said than done
I went to his marriage, you know
His?
My ex!
I just stole the show.
I had the feast, danced just enough to remind everyone I’m fabulous
Gave him my ‘oh-so-heartfelt congrats’
Every relative there was asking, "Why didn't you just see this girl for your son?"
Don't give another person the power to make you weak
A day will come
when you face him directly
Don’t just walk away
Just face him and show him who you are!
Come on
No address
Never been to Kochi before
With what hope did you come seeking for a childhood friend who you met fifteen years ago as a little one
I left because of some fear
Fear?
Aadhi, You've changed so much
May be
You too - Me too!
As we keep forgetting childhood
As we get used to this new life
Even if we change, we feel like we haven’t changed at all
But...
But only when we look at that childhood after a while do we realize
How much we've changed.
That's why I came looking for you.
Did you only come looking for me?
Silva too.
Only Silva?
Also, grandmother!
That’s all?

Aadhi... Good morning!
What? - I'm leaving
I have an investor’s meeting. I'll finish that and come back
Breakfast is on the table. If you go anywhere, leave the key.
Hi!
Make sure you lock the door
Sorry
I forgot you were here.
It's okay
What's his name?
Ram!
You guys got married or what?
What?
Okay, Tell me
How long have you two been like this?
Six?
Six years!
What, six years?
Just six days - I don’t get it
Has it only been six days since you started loving each other?
Who said we're in love?
Tell me, tell me. What's going on between you two?
Why so curious to know about someone else's life?
you naughty girl!
Naughty, huh?
You don't have to tell me
Aadhi, I’ll tell you
Don’t
Aadhi?
Go!
Aadhirai 22
Hey, stop!
Aadhi?
It’s just a fling
Fling means? I don’t understand
I've known him for two years,
Actually
He was a really good friend of mine.
He's still a really good friend.
After I left my family
He was the only person in my life
We all have someone in our lives
Someone who won't judge us even if we openly tell them our mistakes
But understands the situation and guides us
He is one such person
For a second, even you judged me, didn't you?
I’m not blaming you
Just telling you
Due to various reasons, family situations,
I know this relationship won't go to the next stage
But why should I hold back my emotions for that?
For the society, this is wrong
but this society is the reason for this situation...
Life's not fair, Aadhi but I just don’t care
Me and Santosh, Jenny and Ram
There's no difference between the two I called it love, she calls it a fling
Except one thing
She knows that all this won't last...
The feeling is incredibly mutual.
Hey, Hi! What’s up
What shit are you up to, you dumbass? I’ve been calling you for two days!
You waiting for a royal invitation or what? - Hey, what happened now that you're shouting?
I’ve been calling for two days, man. Do I need to carry you myself? Where the hell are you?
Somewhere in the world!
Hey, stop talking like a lunatic. I’m furious enough now tell me what happened with that thing
That...
It'll only last about thirty more days, apparently.
It's over
Hey, who is he to tell us the time? Tell me where you are, I'll come in person, we'll see.
What are you still looking into? It’s over now
Damn... you - Huh?
Hello?
Hey, I left because I knew you'd torture me by putting on these sympathy acts.
You left? Left where, man?
To one last trip!
You son of a—! Hey, if I catch you in person
I'll hit you and bust your head open.
Don't talk like a crazy shit! - Cut to the chase
Hey, did you decide this is your last trip yourself?
Nothing will happen, buddy, we'll see to it.
I've seen it. I'm just going to be happy for the few days I have left.
What, you couldn't find any bad words to scold me?
Hello?
Okay, Machaa, can you do me a favor?
Hey, is that something you even need to ask? Just tell me what needs to be done, I'll do it.
Stop calling me. I’m extremely irritated. Let me be
Go scold a wall, Macha Bye, man
I’m telling you right? Come here buddy, I’ll...
And you open a new book, A new story begins.
Our village! You, me, Silva, Grandma ,the church
My father, like he used to be Could have stayed that way!
It’s frustrating - Then why are you living?
You just said the same thing, you have to shower, wake up, eat, blah blah blah.
Do all that, but instead of the job you're doing, do the job you like
What?
can I be happy with no problems, like you?
Yeah! Grass is always greener on the other side.
it will still be difficult
But it won't be difficult enough to complain like this
You'll enjoy that struggle.
Aadhi?
There's nothing more peaceful than struggling for something you love
Get up!
Come on, let’s have a strong tea!
Hey, I'm leaving tomorrow.
Straight to Marthandam, is it?
Yes!
I've met you
Next is Silva
Alright!
How are you going?
I have to check for a train or a bus.
Take my bike.
Go around to Marthandam.
Are you joking?
A bike is impossible
And that too, so far
Kochi - Alleppey - Varkala
You stay in the hostel...
Spend some time, meet new people.
Good morning sir.
It's 11 AM, Permission?
No, Sir, leave...
What? The government already gave three days of leave. What more?
No, Sir, an extra two days of leave...
You’re on leave even when you’re at office
Do you ever work?
Okay!
Useless expenditure!

Yo! Super mama!
Aadhi? Here
First, I need to put up a no-smoking sign in the parking. Geez, these people!
He won’t even get in the pool without steps, yet he carries a surfing board?
- Hi Aadhi! - Hi
You just wait here for two minutes
I’ll be right back
- Mukund? - Huh
- Phone - Oh
I need to call Jenny. - Jenny?
Her number was here in recent call list - yeah, got it! Jenny
Here
Take it
Thank you.
Brother?
Hey?
what are you talking to this girl about?
Hello, Jenny
Tell me!
I've reached the hotel at the location you mentioned.
Not a hotel, a hostel.
The same thing
Then what? Go inside - But you really want me to get in?
What happened?
Should I just stay in a hotel instead?
Why?
It won't be comfortable
There are all sorts of people
That hostel is for finding out who those "all sorts of people" are
Just get in
Oh
Done talking?
Thank you - Okay Aadhi
Jenny told me everything
You're new to the hostel
Don’t worry about it
Do you understand malayalam?
No I don’t - Then I do
Aadhi, people from different countries and different languages come to this hostel.
Aadhi... come on!
Guys! This is Aa...
Aadhi, come on in
What?
Guys!
This is Aadhi
Aadhi, meet Sanjay
That’s his girlfriend, Sangavi
This is Fakir
Hi!
His ‘Hi’ itself is intimidating, can I trust him around this girl?
Hey, Aadhira! Where in the country?
Say it right, and everyone will take you for a real Malayali
Aadhi and this is your bed
Don't worry guys, she will get along in sometimes
You guys carry on!
Phew! All four beds are booked
Hello Mukund, what's up?
All good, buddy!
I called because our Aadhirai is there
Yeah Aadhi?
Is she alright there?
Ofcourse
Because she doesn’t know the place properly
No worries, I’ll take care
She’s in my hostel, dude
When she leaves here, she'll leave completely changed
That’s why I sent her there
Okay, Thanks Mukund, bye

Mukund... I
Come on, girl
Did you come to Varkala just to stay alone? Jeni’s going to call and yell at me
Everyone ditched us
Last few days
Why stay in one place feeling sad thinking about what's going to end? That’s why
I just left without telling anyone...
To make memories
At the end
That is all that matters
Right?
Oh thank you
Aadhi
This is our hostel’s campfire
And we call it as tekatek with strangers.
Here, you can openly say whatever you feel in your heart.
The important thing is that no one here will judge you, got it?
Now what’s with that confused look?
Smile!
Finally Aadhi is smiling!
What Sangavi, Sanjay?
This place is all yours!
Hi, I'm Kalyani
I’m a solo traveller
Cheers to that!!
The story I'm going to tell is about a wedding.
Oh?
Kalyani’s wedding, huh?
Right! - Yes!
How cute!
What I remember is the wedding of my cousin, Ambuja
She was two years younger than me.
I was sixteen then
I did all the work myself
When I stood next to her on the stage
A man next to the groom kept looking at me.
My heart was pounding, my hands were shaking
Even now, thinking about his gaze gives me the chills all over my body.
I wanted to look at him again and again
That night, I couldn't sleep.
The next day at the wedding
He was still standing there looking at me
Like every girl, I wondered why I shouldn't wear flowers,
why I shouldn't wear vermilion?
When we left Ambuja at her in-laws' house
I learned a few things about him
First class BA from Chennai Presidency College
When brides were coming for him who could offer thousands of dowry
I didn't understand why he kept looking at me
The next day, when I went to the in-laws' house for the ritual
He was standing alone outside on the porch
Then, asking "who is it," he came up to me, put a letter in my hand
And walked away after touching my finger as if accidentally
I ran home and cried and lay down
I didn't speak to anyone
That was the last time I saw him
It's been sixty-four years now.
Why didn't you see him after that?
Grandma, what was in the letter?
He had written that he had so much desire for me and would make any sacrifice for me
And that he would marry me even if the whole world opposed
If I could oppose society, I should leave at 10 PM tonight... and he would be waiting for me.
He wrote to come with him
o, did you go with him on that train?
Only he went on that train
That was the last train I missed in my life
After that, I have travelled in 2756 trains
Alone, carrying the memories of those three days!
You should have boarded that train, right?
Why didn't you go?
I only read the letter a year later
For many days, I just held it in hand and kept crying
The day I read it, half of the letter was already erased by my tears.
Grandma, I don’t understand!
The day he gave me the letter, I didn't know how to read or write
Kalyani
Love you
There are two kinds of people in this world.
First kind
Lose their future because of the suffering they face
Like me!
The other kind
Create a new path using the same suffering and build their own future!
Like Grandma Kalyani!
Hi!
Sorry
What for?
That this is your last trip
I’m okay
Why stress over what’s bound to finish?
We can feel it all at once when it's over
The moon is very beautiful, isn't it? - The stars are very beautiful, aren't they?
Moon
Stars
Moon
Stars
Anyways, they are together now
I’m Sai
Aadhirai!
You can share your tekatek here, if you don’t mind
Same rules, okay?
Okay
Have you ever tried something new
and halfway through
Wondered, ‘Is this really me?’
That realization is what this whole trip is
I came looking for four people
I met Jenny right there in Kochi
Jenny said that Silva and grandma are in the village where I grew up.
So next two days I'm going to be meet them
Back to routine
Life!
Is this your first time staying alone in a hostel like this?
This is the first time I've ever traveled alone.
Don't get used to it. It's a very bad disease
Worse than what you have?
What?
Shit!
The most terrible disease of all is being alone
But social media has turned it into a fascination
Me time and privacy are two different things
They’ve gotten it all mixed up
And this concept is fueled by movies, songs, and Insta reel
If you look at it that way, you also came alone on a bike for a 'solo travel'
Didn’t I say they’ve mixed it up all?
See, you're confused
By the way, that fourth person...
I have to search
I don't know if I'll find them
But still
Please don't ask who it is
I'm not asking who it is, but can I ask what happened?
Arrogance
When they were with me, I didn't spend any time with them at all
When did you see them last?
A long time ago. - Then, with what hope?
Hope!
You're breaking the rules! You're teasing me
Aadhi
I can call you that, right?
A very long time ago, during the Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian periods
There was a belief
Catching the moon and stars together makes for a sweet message of love
Maybe you'll find your loved one soon
Maybe
Thank you, Sai
Okay - Good night.
Aadhi?
This kind of dress, hairstyle, and the smile on your face, this looks good on you
Instead of that, with a gloomy face, braided hair, and a dull churidar...
Suits you
Instead of that, with a gloomy face, braided hair, and a dull churidar...
Hi Aadhi
Good morning
Would you like a coffee?
- There was a person named Sai, right? - Yeah
The one who spoke at the campfire, last night
Did he steal her purse?
Right! - Where is he?
That guy checked out and left this morning
- Jaba, could it be fifteen minutes ago? - Yes
He just left, five minutes back
Did he say where he was going?
Are they my relatives to tell us where they're going?
This is a hostel, Aadhi.
Will people tell me where they’re off to?
Looks like she’s gonna ask for Aadhar or ration card.
Jenny’s fault, she shoved this girl onto me.
Aadhi, Sai said he’s heading to Munnar.
Jaba, forget Munnar and Kinar, go check on the milk inside
How far is Munnar from here?
What, are you going to chase and catch him?
Looking at the way she's thinking, she might take me along too!
Hello
What a surprise, you’re here too, huh?
How do you know?
What? - About me?
What about you?
How do you know about me?
Hey, did you chase me all this way just to ask that?
Yes, tell me. How do you know about me?
Oh, come on
Didn't you tell me about yourself last night?
Do you forget everything when you wake up?
I'm not asking about that.
How do you know about the gloomy face, the oiled hair, and the dull churidar?
Because I saw you
Don't I know that if you see it, you'd know? Where did you see me?
That? Relax, have some tea.
Answer
The answer will come with the tea, do you want it?
Sister, one tea.
The thing is,
boldness and maturity comes when you have the power to say no.
I was working at a good IT company with a good package
living my life by taking a loan for an apartment and a bike that I liked.
Doesn't it sometimes get annoying for the person next to you when life is going so smoothly?
Who, an enemy?
No, a friend
He came and asked a question
"Machaa should we start a start-up now, It’s high time?"
He asked me without any sense, but I should have at least said no, right?
Instead, I nodded okay.
That day, a lightning bolt hit my head, man
A person who should have been fine...
Who is that, son? - It’s me, Kalyani!
He asked casually, and I, being naive, started a start-up. That day, it was over
I put in all the savings I had. He said he would put in his money.
Did he invest? - No, he just said
I started my start-up work
He hustled his way to go onsite.
Your job?
You know that if you start a start-up, you have to quit your existing job, right? You moron
Who’s a moron? - It’s me!
Lost my job, the start-up didn't pick up, and my debt piled up
When I was thinking, "What should I do?" I got a call six days ago.
Hello, you cut the call while we were talking, Sir.
Hello, what is your problem, madam?
I told you I'll pay, yet you keep calling me repeatedly.
If you paid your EMI properly, why would we call you?
You know how to buy a bike on loan and ride it, but no resposibility to payback
You are speaking excessively. - Hey, we talk like this to people like you
If there was money in the account, you would pay it, with no money, how can you?
Hey, watch your tone show some respect.
Did you check if there's no money in my account?
You are speaking unnecessarily.
How can you talk so disrespectfully? - You’re the one who started it!
You are in the bank, right?
I'll come and talk to you in person, let's see.
Did you go to the bank?
Don’t ask if I went ask if I came.
Hello, sir.
Who is Aadhirai here?
Whether my account has money or not, what’s her problem?
She can just ask if I can repay the loan instead, she’s talking crap.
I just didn’t pay for four months
Is this how you treat a customer?
Sir... your
Sorry, you go ahead and eat, I’ll wait.
Excuse me
Where is Aadhirai?
She’s having her lunch
- Please wait, she’ll come - Okay
Brother
Dining?
Aadhi?
Come, join us
I'm so, so sorry
Most of the time, talking like this is my job
If I speak politely, they don't respect it, they cheat us...
I didn’t mean it
It's okay
Being angry without even knowing your health condition
Sorry
What's wrong with my health?
You said it was your "last trip."
Yes!
If I go back to my town, you'll seize the bike, won't you?
That's why it's the last trip
On my bike
So, you are not going to die?
Suresh, don't trust the checks that guy gives us. It's always the same thing
Everything is bouncing
- Just a minute - Sir
I checked the entire vehicle. There are no problems. It has only run 2034 kilometers
Only the side mirrors have been slightly changed. Otherwise, everything is okay
Why, Sir? You said it's been eight months since you bought the vehicle.
You've only ridden 2034 kilometers?
Okay, you've signed the surrender form, right?
Done, sir - Give it here...
Vijay?
What is the value of the vehicle coming up to?
About two and a half lakhs, sir
Okay, Sir. Everything is fine you may leave
Sir, They'll take loans and buy a vehicle
And then they'll dump the responsibility on us by not paying the money.
Okay, you ask him how much is due.
This vehicle could have stayed in the showroom itself.
Sir?
where will you take the vehicle after this?
We'll put it in auction
They will take care of the rest of the process.
Oh!
Okay!
Take care of the form!
Wasim, catch him
Hey, stop, this man will scold me because of you
Sir, I'll bring the bike back and return it in exactly seven days
Don't file any complaints until then, Sir.
Look! Not just this vehicle, we will make sure you cannot buy any other vehicle after this,
Go for it
For the trip?
With that money I could have paid the due balance, right?
Actually, there's still about one and a half lakh rupees...
But there was only twenty-five thousand in the account
I could have used any job I got to pay off the loan
But who would maintain it?
I could buy and maintain a bull instead of maintaining this guy!
Besides this, there are other loans, right? So
Let's see
we'll manage
I've attended an interview
Waiting for the call letter
In a way, I am also the reason for your trip, right?
In every way, you are the reason!
If. But you know in the de la Nina Cano.
In a way, you are the reason for my trip
So?
Where to?
As for me, it's just a life of wandering like this...
I don’t have a set destination to follow a map like you.
- Okay, fine, let's see. - Alright
Aadhi?
Shall I come with you to the village too?
Don’t just stand there, let’s grab a tea and get going
Long, long time back...
Like forever ago
No one knows how long ago it was
A great deluge came, as if the whole world was going to be destroyed.
There was a man named Noah during that deluge.
God saved only that Noah.
Do you know what Noah did?
He built a big boat and named it Noah's Ark
Noah got ready to gather all the living creatures on this Earth into that big boat and take them to safety
Then, Noah had a doubt
If a deluge like this comes again
we will all be destroyed again, won't we?
“ If that happens, then what is the use of us leaving now?" he asked.
Do you know what God did then?
"Look there, Noah," God pointed to the sky
What was there was a rainbow
That rainbow is a promise, a covenant, between humans and God.
In the same way
Today I give you a promise
Tomorrow morning, a rainbow will appear in your sky
Sleep!
You shouldn't be afraid
Lie down
Without fear, close your eyes.
Where are we going to stay?
We can figure that out once we get into town.
This is a village, not a city, right?
If we knock on anyone's door, they'll feed us and let us stay, right?
They'll shove us!
We have to pay money to stay. Come on.

Right there
I saw the rainbow for the last time.
So much hype for a rainbow?
When did you last see a rainbow?
I saw one just last month.
Well, I haven't seen one.
Gone case!
Silva? - Is this Silva's house?
Who? Are you asking about that lorry driver?
Lorry driver?
Yes, he left for work six months ago and hasn't been seen since
He never came back.
His wife waited and waited, and only two months ago, she left for her mother's house
If you need any more information, you'll have to ask the lorry owner.
Did you see Silva there? - That was the last time.
But the Silva we saw, the one we knew, he's not the same
The ten minutes of silence between us in that place
Was very awkward
Grandma...
Mary Fernandes, where is she?
You are Aadhirai, right?
She wanted to see you all when she was bedridden
She said you’d come looking for her
Here’s her suitcase
But after she passed, no one came for her
Can I take this one?
He will wipe every tear from their eyes.
There will be no more death
Or mourning
Or crying or pain
for the old
Order of things has passed away
Grandma always used to say...
I completely forgot the people who thought of me all the time, didn't I?
I should have visited her at least once
If nothing lasts for me, why should I even get it?
Phone.
Hey?
Jenny
Tell me, Aadhi
I'm in the village.
Grandma is no more
I don't even know where Silva is
Aadhi?
Aadhi, first, you come here!
I'm leaving the bike at the hostel and heading to Chennai.
Aadhi, whatever it is, we can talk about it. You come here
Aadhi?
Aluva, blue, the oil, the milk packet is finished, isn't it?
Let's go happily with the sister - Hey?
You’re enjoying life, huh?
You have to enjoy, man.
I'll give millions and millions!
Morning!
Morning
What book is this?
Walking the pathless path.
Oh, Dhruv Bhat?
Have you read it?
No, I just saw it now.
What will you understand?
This is some next-level deep stuff
Okay, you read it.
Is she okay?
she will be - she will be?
Whenever I look at Aadhi, I feel my past is present with her
I can understand her even without knowing anything about her.
Kalyani?
How?
It's only been two days. Don't just say anything.
You will understand when you reach my age.
Oh dear, that seems like a greedy desire.
What? To understand?
To live until your age.
I curse you! Both will happen. Go!
Where is Grandma? - There, on the balcony
Is the work you came for finished?
But you’re leaving?
Okay, leave, bye!
Go!
Aadhi?
Silva could be somewhere else, right?
Where?
We have to...
You have to search for him
How can you ask me to search blindly without knowing anything?
Are you crazy?
Yes!
Isn't that how you came looking for the fourth person?
Are you calling me crazy?
You called yourself that. I'm just highlighting it,
Hope you remember
With what hope did you come?
With hope!
You were the one who said it
Now the problem is whether you're crazy or whether those two people will be found?
Forget Silva
let's go look for that other friend.
If you want to search for someone somewhere, you go search
Okay, I'll search
Give me the details about that other friend before you go
Oh, why are you always asking questions? Just...
Now you understand how irritating it is when someone calls and asks, "When will you pay the due?
Forget it, that's old irritation.
The first call after I join tomorrow will be to you
Asking, "When will you pay the due?"
In an arrogant tone! - Ouch!
Look, there's no necessity that if only Silva is found, the other person should be found too.
What did you say?
I said exactly what you wanted to hear
If you genuinely feel like going, go ahead
The train is gone.
What do I do now?
She missed it, but yelling at me.
I'm telling you to go search now so that you don't feel regret after it's gone.
The next train will come in the next half hour, and you can board it and leave
But the chance to look for those two... I’m not sure you’ll get that again.
I don’t know if they’ll still be there...
Like grandma!
Think about it
Bye!
And what if I still can’t find them?
You won't have the regret of not searching, right?
You know where to find me, bye!
A day will come when you face him directly
Don't walk away
Just face him!
And show him who you are!
Hi, Santhosh
Hi Keerthika!
Sorry!
He gave me the wedding invite, but I couldn’t make it
But it's nice meeting you guys.
Finally.
And you guys look good together
Happy honeymoon!
You’re on honeymoon, right?
Go on!
What?
Answer! - You'll get it with the tea
Chetta, tea please!
Thank you
Tell me, anything...
A photo?
What does he like?
What kind of places can we search in?
Did you think it would be easy, like searching for a tourist in Varkala?
Searching for a traveler is difficult
You can easily find a tourist.
They are both the same, aren't they?
There are a lot of differences.
Let’s give it a shot
Okay, tell me what he likes
It's been a long time
Guess I’ve totally blanked on all our talks and dreams.
Alright!
Let's go.
You’re telling me to go search for something I dreamed and talked about ages ago.
Let’s go!
That’s a closed chapter, Sai
Me coming here? Big mistake.
Going back and searching foolishly, and not finding them...
Nothing goes right for me, Sai
So, nope!
Sai?
But I’ve got just four days off
After that, not possible!
Waste!
Hello, sir.
You need two more days
Right?
No, four days - Not enough!
Take 20 days!
Wait, twenty days? Take twenty-five days!
Sir!
Need some cash? I’ll send it your way
Aadhirai?
Please do me a favor - Yes, sir?
Please don’t come back, ever.
Sir?
The manager approved the leave!
Whoa, perfect!
Oh, that’s our manager?
He’s a sweet person!
Yup!
Can we get Tamil Nadu food here?
We can have that in Tamil Nadu, yeah?
Taste the food of the place we've come to
Brother! Two idlis
You keep eating, I’ll take this call and be back.
Hey, Hi! - What Hi?
You speak so familiarly, Who are you, Sir?
Hey, Jerk?
What’s with all this bad language, sir?
You’ve called me at witching hour and talking nonsense
Sir, who are you? - It’s me Sai
Sai? Sorry sir, I don't know anyone like that
I'm just sitting here happily cursing the wall... but again who are you?
Don’t piss me off, I’ll hang up.
Why bother? I'll hang up myself, get lost.
Macha, hey! I’m sorry
You left, saying, “Somewhere in the world, one last trip” ?
You called me ’cause you’re in trouble, right?
You think I’d call you only when I need help?
Okay, so what else did you call for?
Okay, I need some help
You prick, I knew it
Talk like that, feels good!
Sent you the deets on WhatsApp, check it out and let me know.
I saw all that, nothing can be don
Why?
It’s another state with a huge network, got it?
Okay dude, fine. I trusted you’d help me out with your network.
Okay, I’ll take care of it what else can I do?
I’ll get it done, damn it just give me some time.
All good, no worries. Just get it to me by 10 in the morning.
I need time means I need at least two days, okay?
Yeah, that’s fine just send it to me by 10 AM
Do you even know what I’m gonna give you by 10? - Yeah bye... bye!
What is the name of that fourth person?
Chottu!
Chottu?
All okay?
I’ll just be back.
Where are you going?
I have a small task to finish, I’ll be right back
Hey, Hi!
Hey, how many calls will you make? Please, let me sleep!
How many calls did I make?
I might have made about thirty calls
Hey, I told you I need time, didn't I? Don't kill me, da! Give me some time!
I don't like your friendship anymore! I’m done with you! My head is burning, leave me alone
Alright, Macha, I'm troubling you a lot, aren't I?
Ofcourse!
What to do? I lost my job, I’ll lose my bike
Now you’re going too - Damn it, man!
Hey! I’ll arrange something, just get lost - Okay, Love you too! Bye
Just die!
You’ve changed?
You gotta be comfy, yeah?
Oh?
Oh!
Would you like to meet Silva?
Silva?
How?
We went to Silva’s house, right? I took this photo then
I wasn't sure if it was him
But I confirmed it using the lorry owner
We are on our way to see him now
Hello, sir.
I’m Sai
My friend wants to...
You came looking for Silva, didn't you?
Sai?
You’ve been poking into my details, I know you have come to muck things up
How long have you known Silva?
Are you both involved in this together?
Tell me!
Sir, wait, wait, take your hand off
What now?
Silva and I are childhood friends
I went to my village after many years, and he was missing.
When I asked, they said he last worked with you
That's why I came. - Who is she?
My friend, sir
Does she know about Silva?
Except for the name Silva, she doesn’t know anything
I saw Silva like my own son
I gave him everything
I even sent him to Nagaland to bring the load
Just two years at work, I never told anyone to handle loads with that experience
But I trusted him completely
Two years gone, and still no word.
The lorry load, Silva... all vanished.
So... what went down? Nothing we could figure out.
The lorry was standing on the road
No other gang was involved
I had sent some other stuff with the load
Do you understand?
I thought meeting Silva and Chottu would be as easy as meeting Jenny.
It is easy
What?
Do we have to go to Nagaland to find Silva?
If I don't join work in three days, it'll not be a loss of pay
It will be loss of job!
I had a friend, Aadhi
Stacy
She lived in the area near my house
We used to go to school together every day
Sometimes in the same bicycle
She would always say that I knew more about her than she did
Then, different colleges.
I remember her crying, asking how she would survive college without me
Till the first year of college, we met every day
In the second year, it became once a week
Both of us jammed with our college gangs
In the third year, it was once a month
By the fourth year, it was just a birthday meet-up
Then, both of us got busy with our own lives.
I was complacent, thinking, "She's nearby, I can always see her."
But about eight months ago, I missed her badly
I rang her right away, thought it was our Stacy.
She says she's in Canada
Things were not the same
We take people for granted just because they are close and with us
Just for solid relationships
Thinking... where will they go?
I don’t know why we do that
Some people, like Jenny, are found easily, no matter how many years pass
But for folks like Silva and Chottu, you gotta hunt them down, it’s not easy.
If we want them
Do you want it?
From what you’re saying, maybe Chottu made it here.
Let’s see
Brother?
Chottu?
Aadhi!
Wanna fly?
Let’s fly!

Bro, I've arrived. Where are you?
How many calls are you making?
I'm coming, wait - Bro, hurry up!
Why are you shouting, Sir?
Komban might come down
- Hi! - Hi
We've traveled a long distance, haven't we? So, Hot lemon tea, please!
Okay, Sir. - A little quickly
Go, I'll bring it. Go
Nice place, isn't it?
Cool! Feel free
Yes, Sir is the owner of this. I'm the labor here.
Thank you - What brought here suddenly, Sir?
Brother, this good water, clean air, and peaceful place, it's all a torture
The Chennai traffic, the dust, the noise... Can’t feel that peace here
Then why did you come here, Sir?
Ah, she's the reason for that
Aadhi, this is Mani Anna. Mani Anna, this is Aadhi.
Hi, Hi - Hi brother!
A favour! - A favour?
Sharp! - Go on
Among the recent trekking groups, or a few months ago, did anyone named Chottu come here?
Chottu?
Two Chottus have come here
- Two people? - Yes
One from Chennai and the other one from Mumbai
The person we are looking for is Tamil
Then it's the Chennai Chottu
He books a stay here once every six months
If he doesn't get a resort here, he stays at some other resort. Our guys take him trekking
The trekking is fully controlled by KFTC
Maybe we can check with them, when he last came here under that name.
So, we can know when he comes again, right?
If he comes, yeah?
Aathi, you go sleep. I’ll chat for a bit and be back.
What, are you two lovers?
Friends, brother
I don’t even know her completely
Look at you!
Brother?
Can we get it done by morning?
You know, right? The government’s taken over everything now.
If we go, we have to go illegally.
Possible or not
I'll do it for you
When I was a kid, I raised a Kombai dog
It was very affectionate towards me
Suddenly, one day, it died
I couldn't bear it.
After that, I was just wandering around in that sadness
My grandmother saw that and said,
"Hey, you worthless boy, why are you wandering around like this?" and she brought me here.
Here? - To the place we are going
She took me to a waterfall there
When I saw it, there was a beautiful rainbow
surrounding the waterfall
I asked her, "Why did you bring me here, grandma?”
She said, "Your dog is inside this rainbow”
I just kept looking at it, and I felt so happy
All my sadness vanished
After that, whenever I'm sad, I come here
Just like the rain keeps falling in Cherrapunji, a rainbow keeps appearing in this place.
Will it be there now too? - Without doubt!
Why did you ask me to talk as if I knew Chottu?
Who is he?
Why this drama?
That girl is searching for someone
I figured out who it was
That's why I brought her here to confirm it using you
But why go through so much for this girl?
For me too, brother
When I think about her later
I shouldn't have the memory of her crying on the train while I remained inactive
At the end, memories are all that matters, aren’t they brother?
So, You’re searching someone unknown just for a crying girl?
He’s known!
What?
Mani brother?
It’ll come
We’re leaving, brother - Go safely.
Okay, brother. We’re off.
Say “We’ll be back.”
I’ll call you if I get any information - Okay brother
Careful! - So sweet
Scram!
Mani Anna is cute, isn’t he?
Isn’t he?
I come here whenever I feel low
It’ll be fun
I know
You stay here without paying anything, apparently?
Hello?
I thought you only didn't pay the bank
But you don't pay anywhere?
Hey, he's just teasing, okay?
But I'm not teasing, okay?
What time is the train in the morning?
Morning, 7 AM
We’ll make it there in time
Tomorrow at this time
we'll be back in Chennai, right?
You're so happy to go back?
Not like that
But...
But?
Hey, you took a left when I told you to go right!
The map hasn't rerouted, yet? - Turn back
It has rerouted, but...
That's the main road, this... - Hey, learn something new!
The map isn’t whining like you.
It's showing an alternate route, isn't it?
Unnecessary talk, all this
Hey, there are no lights here. We're going to crash somewhere!
Turn back! Make a U-turn! Turn back! - Don't be afraid, Aadhi...
Nothing will happen, relax
Oh no!
Anything can happen!
We'll figure it out
Will you always babble something idiotic like this lunatic?
No, Only sometimes. - I told you to turn the bike, didn’t I?
Now what? We’re stuck somewhere we don’t even know.
The bike has heated up
It's happened before also
It will be fine in a little while. We'll figure it out.
It's 3 AM in the middle of the night, and you stop in this forest and say it will be fine!
I don't understand!
it's a bike whose EMI hasn't been paid!
Hey?
If you want to be angry, be angry, don’t kick the bike
You talk about the EMI ?
when you don't even know if you'll have a job tomorrow!
I'll take care of my job! You mind your business
I will take care of it. Go - Brother... brother?
What's the use of shouting?
We'll be stuck here until it fixes itself...
No other go! - Then I’ll go
Hey? Wait...
Where are you going?
Stand still for a while!
I don't know whether to fix the bike or her!
Oh, man!
What?
What’s happening!
I got stuck here with this guy at this hour!
Idiot, be quiet - Or what?
Tamilian?
Yes, brother
At this hour, what are you doing here?
No, we were coming this way, and the bike stopped due to heat, we’ll leave in ten minutes
You need any help? Assistance?
We do! - No, thanks
No thanks, brother
I can tell from her face how much trouble you’re in, huh?
Trouble?
There's no problem, brother, You go We'll manage.
Hey, step aside
I’m talking to her, okay? What’s your problem?
She and I are talking, alright?
Right, sweetie?
Why’s he butting in while we’re talking?
Move aside!
Dear, tell me
Who is he?
Brother...
There’s no problem here, we can manage, please leave, thank you!
Take your hand off!
- Brother?
Don't get tense, Bro, It's not a big issue, We'll manage
Tense? What tension do I have?
What's the problem? - Just move aside
Dear, he’s not right in the head
I came here because you wanted me to help you, right?
Is he hitting on you?
Hello?
What are you talking about?
You are the problem! We're leaving. We'll walk, Aadhi let’s go
Hey, I’m telling you to stop!
Let me push
She knows how to push?
I’ll not let you take the girl with you
Hey?
What are you doing?
Give me the key - You’re trying to take her away?
She was just being playful, give me the keys
Dear?
Hey, I’m here to help you, right? He’s the one trying to hurt you, isn’t he?
I’m warning you, don’t act smart - Brother... please understand
This is ridiculous! - Sai?
Hey?
Bro, what’s all the chaos about?
The same as the other day
Other day...
Didn’t we do it?
A fair chick...
Move aside!
I said move - What?
This looks way more stunning
This horse... absolutely stunning!
It’s an exotic horse - In our town, you can’t find a horse like this
Bro, help me out... click my photo!
Make sure everything is visible, come on!
You’ll get everything
Stand here and lean slightly
Hello! Don't take photos! Get down
What? Hey, get down
Who are you?
Who the hell are you?
I’m telling you don’t click photos
It’s midnight... it’s dark... what are you doing bringing her here?
Huh? What’s your problem?
One grab down there and you’re dead
I’m only taking a picture. Why are you so bothered?
Right, brother?
Leave him
We’ll call the police
Police? Call them right away
Take your phone, brother
Record both of them
Shoot from top to toe
Back off, you witch!
Brother?
See her? Full of arrogance.
Hey, calm down
Isn’t she our girl? I’ll talk to her
Girl, this place is not safe
Come to my home, I’m all alone So, let’s go to my place
Come on
Now that’s a great idea!
Get on the bike, let’s have some fun!
I’m the one who called you
But it was a terrible mistake!
Please leave, we can handle this
Sai, start the bike. Let’s move!
What? You’re going?
Where are you going?
Hey, how dare you touch me?
Brother told you to get on the bike - How dare you touch her?
Don’t you understand when I say it once? I’m telling you again
Don’t touch my hand, hands off
Take your hands off - Hey, what?
I’m telling you to come with me - What now? Look
My patience isn’t endless, got it?
I’m telling you, back off
Who is that?
Passing the light straight into my eyes?
Hey, what’s going on here?
Just a minor issue, we’ll take care
What’s happening?
Any problem?
Our bike broke down
Don’t know who these people are, they just started picking a fight
You?
What the hell’s your problem? Leave people alone!
It’s midnight , go home! - Who the hell are you to tell that?
Let me show him
Beat that dog to death
Who are you, you mutt?
Just mind your own business
Oh boy!
Go on. Touch me, if you’ve got the nerve.
I’ll kill you!
Get lost!
You hit him. Wait I’ll show you exactly who I am
Just wait here, I’m coming for you
Just get going, I’ve seen a lots like you
Leave fast!
If they come back, this’ll blow up. Just go!
Got it brother, we’re leaving
Hey?
Move!
It’s all because of this damn guy!
Hey? Why are you throwing water at him?
I told you not to touch my bike
I deserve this, man!
Should’ve never listened to you!
I get it. I’m really sorry, okay?
Stuff like this happens in places like this, don’t take it to heart
This might be normal for someone like you, not for me!
What’s that supposed to mean
Did you even look at the map right?
Map?
Yeah, that random guy you called why’d you do that?
That’s exactly why this happened - Sir, I didn’t see the map right
But like a bigshit talking about being a wandering around explorer
Then why give me the map? You should’ve gone alone!
You’re so careless, no wonder your friend ditched you!
Who’d stick with you anyway?
You’ll end up wandering alone forever!
You’re just mad and talking nonsense.
Watch your words, Aadhi - I’m saying exactly what you deserve to hear!
What? What’ll you do? - I’ve had enough, you idiot...
Thank you, brother
It’s fine.
Don’t mind people like that they just talk tough
Okay?
Go ahead, don’t be scared!
Hey, what happened?
Nothing bro - Okay, let’s go
Let’s go!
Alright, bro, thanks
Let’s go.
Your bike’s fixed, right? Who’d you hand it over to?
hat? It’ll reach the place we’re headed.
The place you’re going? - We’re going
What, we?
We!
Aathi. Will you come with me to just one more place?
Aadhi?
Trust me
One last time!
Sai, I’m dead tired
I need to go home
I’m not angry or anything.
We can talk in Chennai.
Please leave, I’m going
Hey, wait...
I'm really, really sorry for last night
I understand
But I don’t want this trip to end on a sour note...
Give me one last chance
Please!
Sir!
Sir... just two more days, sir.
I’ll definitely come, sir
Hello?
Sir...
Sir?
Hey, man!
I saw your message, that’s why I called
I messaged so I wouldn’t have to call
And then you see it and call me back?
if I call you, it’s wrong. If I don’t, it’s also wrong
What am I supposed to do?
That’s how I’ll talk, That’s exactly what you’re doing.
First, you say it’s your “last trip” and left without giving me the bike
Now you want me to parcel the same bike.
Hey, just asking, are you coming back to Chennai, or planning some spiritual escape like that?
I’ll tell you later. - You won’t say that also now?
I don’t get it. You’re still with her?
La. You know how good you are in the I that near me or anything.
Don’t ask me anything. I’ll tell you in person.
Fine. Don’t ask me anything, either! Go die!
Hey Aadhi?
Wake up!
Come with me
Come on!
Don’t be sleepy always, come on
Come on!
Walk!
Just take a look.
For this?
Last night felt like a nightmare.
I thought it was all over.
Didn’t feel like that to me
Last night, I saw how brave you are
You were standing there, staring them down
I thought you’d hit them
It was just a show, hiding fear
But you stood with me
Nah!
I’m the irresponsible one
Okay
Sorry
Really, really sorry
It’s fine
Vidya said the same
Before she broke up with me
Five years!
It was beautiful while it lasted
I did what I wanted without bothering anyone.
That’s what she liked too
But eventually, it started disturbing her
She started calling me “selfish”...
I don’t know, you all call me that, so maybe it’s true.
okay, I’ll head in.

I got the job, buddy!
- Congrats! - Thanks
Now you will pay the EMI, right?
I’ll get a car
Sai?
Whoa? - It’s macha
- Who? - Macha
I’m picking up! - Hey, no... don’t
You jerk! When are you finally coming back? You don’t tell me anything! I’ll tear you apart if I come there
Hello?
I’m Aadhi
Sai’s friend! - Me too
Tell him to pick up next time! Bye!
Nice yellings, right?
I told you not to answer
Hello - Hey!
Who’s this? - Hey Sai, it’s Stacy!
Stacy?
Yeah, Stacy!
Hey, I’m good! How are you?
Fantastic, buddy!
I’m coming to Chennai next month.
Next month? - Yeah, next month
We can meet, right?
Of course! What’s with the sudden plan?
All of a sudden?
Just felt like it.
You think you’re the only one who can miss me or what?
Who told you?
When you come, bring Aadhirai along, okay?
Sai? You there?
Yeah... I’ll bring her.
Catch you later, bye!
Hey, Aadhi?
Kalyani? - Grandma!
Do you eve rgo home? - Sai!
When did you get here?
You came here to dance, right? Then dance.
When was the last time you danced like this?
This is the first time I’ve ever danced.
And you?
You once said we should dance when we’re happy, remember?
Come let's dance.
Guys!
We’re gonna dance
Together!
One last time
Aadhi! Everyone’s watching
Do you even know what you’re doing?
This isn’t the place, Aadhi!
Don’t act crazy! We can talk outside!
The last time I danced, I’d lost myself
Like crazy!
With my ex
Even thinking about it now makes me laugh
After that...
This is the first time I’ve danced as myself
You didn’t miss any train, did you?
I missed it too.
Have you found your...
Sai?
Come here
Where are you taking my daughter?
Your daughter?
Kalyani? Then what am I?
Tell me
The bike must’ve arrived. We just need to pick it up and leave.
So that’s the end of the trip
Right?
I have 2,300 rupees
Just enough for petrol and the ride tomorrow
I'll take care of it
How much do you have?
Fifteen hundred
With that kind of money...
At least it’s enough for food, right?
Your share is still zero in splitwise
Remember?
Now you’re teaching me math?
I’ll pay you back with interest when we reach Chennai
Unlike you!
Goddess!
Once we’re in Chennai, I’m dropping the bike, okay?
Gimme a break!
Everything I didn't see in these five years
I have lived in these eight days, Sai.
Even now, I don't know how I managed to leave home without thinking about anything
It's because you didn't think
Half of the beautiful things that happen in our lives are due to the decisions we take without thinking.
Why, Sai?
Why did you feel like doing all this?
The first time I saw you, you were crying
And when you said you were leaving the village and going back to home
When I think about you after a long time
I don't want to remember that gloomy face
And I was jobless, so...
You did all this for memories?
Is that so important?
You tell me.
But these small mistakes that don't hurt others, those are what let us be ourselves
Memories are all that matters, right?
We didn't even take a photo
It wasn't necessary.
I came searching for the things in my old album...
Now I got a new one.
When we first walked alone to the cliff
we were quiet not knowing what to talk
The silence wasn’t awkward at all
When a stranger, in a strange town
suddenly comes and walks with you
It was not awkward
I felt secured
What?
So you can talk like this, huh?
Guess I can
It's only now that I'm slowly remembering.
You've remembered, right?
Don't forget it after this.
I won't
♪ The light of my eyes, my angel! ♪
♪ Let me come near you ♪
♪ O golden gem, my great delight ♪
♪ Let me cuddle your golden smile ♪

Go to Marthandam, just don’t lose yourself
The person you were searching for wasn’t us, Aadhi
But yourself!
So just go and find yourself
When’s the last time you talked to yourself?
Not only you!
These days, most kids just miss themselves.
Chottu?
Chottu...
Grandma, me, Silva, Jenny...
That one year
I was really myself
I love trekking
I’ve always wanted to fly
We talked about having wings instead of just hands, for fun!
Crazy for trains
when rain and breeze hit the face while traveling
Favourite!
Freezing!
Like heaven
sitting in a boat surrounded by water
Standing on a mountain cliff
Crazy for it!
Chottu Somasundaram!
Somasundaram?
Dad!
And Chottu is?
It’s her!
Mani brother!
That’s where
I saw rainbow for the last time
My heart longs only to lose itself in you.
A million desires bloom, tell me, what are they, O flower-vine?
How could my eyes forget, when you stand before me?
Love pours down, don’t hide your shyness, I’m asking for a kiss
You mingle in my heart, united with my dream, my love
With a smile that steals my heart
We’ll see!
You speak million stories
you are every color
Aadhi!
A painting filled with love
My life, my soul, is your fragrance it will never fade
Suits you!
Hey!
Where’s dad?
Ma?
Amma? - What?
Come here, Ma - Tell me, what is it?
Let go!
Did I really trouble you that much?
Hey?
I saw Jenny
Not sure if I’ll ever meet Silva!
Grandma’s gone.
But I got new friends, like Mani brother and Mukund
Best of all, I got Sai and a ton of memories
Ma, where is dad?
Dad was right
Our little mistakes are what make us us
And I found myself
♪ You are the whole world and I exist for you ♪
♪ I am the heart that beats for you ♪
♪ You mingle in my heart, united with my dream, my love ♪
♪ O little pearl you speak stories with that thieving smile ♪
