Murphy (2024)

[bunniefuu]

'My bright soul...My beloved father

Dedicate this film to you - Your Pradeep'

Dr Pinto! So how's it going?

Hello Mr Murphy. Come, sit.

I have a bad news.

I don't think this radio will work.

- What?

- All components are wet.

I've spent the last three days

trying to figure it out.

If I had a time machine, I'd have

prevented this radio from getting wet.

So you're thinking about

time travel now, huh!

What choice do I have!

You're adamant about

wanting only this radio.

And I don't want to disappoint you.

I know you want to

give this to your father.

But there are so many radios here.

Why don't you choose any of these?

No...No, Doctor Pinto,

this radio is very special to him

Actually, dad had bought

this with his first salary.

Can you imagine?

Doctor, I know you're the only

person who can fix this!

Please!!

So I must invent a time machine now!

Sir, I didn't mean that, sir.

Come on!

'Anyways, sir...'

'Despite knowing it's fictitious,

I'm asking you this.'

'Time machine and time travel'

'What do you think about it?'

Come on, Mr Murphy. Is there

anything you don't know?

Einstein.

Einstein himself says

that time is an illusion.

I mean the past, present

and future, this won't change.

They exactly play out

as they are designed to be.

Like Krishna says,

in the Bhagavad Gita,

Kalaya Tasmai Namaha.

We have to dance to the whims of time.

For example, this radio.

I think it's done and dusted.

I tried my best.

I don't think this

will work any more.

Its old components are tough to get

I have lost all hopes.

Perhaps, you also can try fixing it?

Sir

Sir, it's working...

Didn't you say the components are wet?

How is this possible, sir?

This is impossible!

Sir, are the mic and transmitters

in the radio emitting this noise?

'Ah, yes. Transmitters

in this are connected.'

And sometimes, because of cross

connection, it makes weird noises.

'Yes sir, you're right.'

Sir, now that it's working,

Can I take it back?

You can take this.

And I'm curious to know

Where and when

did your dad buy this radio?

That's a long story, sir!

I'll introduce him

when you come home.

You can discuss this over a peg!

All right.

Take it for now.

- Yes, sir.

- As I said

I'd like to re-examine later.

Sure, sir. Bye.

Thank you so much!

Welcome, bye

Danny, call!

I'll be back.

'Papa!'

Where are you?

Papa, I'm still out.

I'll be late.

It's raining heavily.

Please convince him, dad.

You always have some

excuse up your sleeve!

- The kids have been waiting to cut the cake.

- I know, papa.

He's been asking

'When will papa come'

Sorry, papa. I'll be back soon.

- Okay, be safe.

- Bye.

Stop...help

How do you pretend like

nothing's happened, Richie?

For the past 20 years

I've seen it malfunction

Did you ever let me touch it, even once?

Now if I want to repair it,

what's your problem?

I'm an electrical student.

But what's the use, Richie?

Richie, I'm talking to you.

Please respond!

I can hear you.

You're right.

But...

I'll tell you something.

What he needs is

not your electrical degree.

It's love.

And I am here to give him that love

So don't worry about it.

It's better if you

mind your own business.

Correct, Richie.

Why should I worry about it?

To you, he's a son.

But is not a father to me, isn't it?

And you know what, Richie...

I miss him too...

I miss him too...

David!

How many times have I told

you not to enter this room!

Why did you come here?

Why are you

still standing here?

Get lost!

Go out!

David

'David!'

David!

You hug me despite slapping you.

How shameless of you!

Go say that to someone

who has some shame.

If you get to know

what I've got

you will forget

that you slapped me.

What's that?

Radio manual.

The amount of challenges

I faced to find this for you!

Even if a child reads this,

it will understand the content,

and assemble the radio

as easy as a toy!

he's put every detail in it

with figures, Mr. Lays Charles!

It's not Lays or Kurkure.

Louis Charles.

Consider it a print

mistake while talking.

Kindly adjust.

It won't work out Alex.

For 20 years, Richie hasn't even

let you touch that radio.

So you're worried how

he'll allow you to repair it now.

I have a plan for it.

Tell me Richie's daily routine.

Why? Don't you know?

I want to hear it from you.

What else routine will he have?

At 10 am, he leaves the house.

At 10:30 am, he's at Tony uncle's cafe.

He leaves the cafe at 4:30 pm

and comes home at 5 pm.

What if he comes

before 5 pm tomorrow?

Good question.

In case, Richie comes early

I have an idea to avoid him.

I shall park my bike

near your house.

Richie has to pass your

home on the way to ours.

When he spots my bike there,

he will assume I'm in your

house and come there.

As per the plan.

The moment he comes there,

you give me information.

And until I tell you,

keep Richie there.

Okay?

Rest will work wonders. Trust me.

Okay. Done!

Hello!

Once you're old, that's it, my dear

There won't be any pick up!

Cheers!

It's a joke, man

Will it rain?

Looks like it, Richie.

- Hand me the umbrella.

- Messi, give it.

- I better go before it rains.

- Yes, see you.

Jessie...

What are you doing here?

I'm here to see Richie.

Is he there?

No.

I'm coming after so long,

and he's asking why I'm here. Karma.

After all these days she had

to come today itself. My karma!

David's bike.

Okay

Even if my planning goes wrong, I knew

Richie's timing won't be missed for sure.

Sorry, David...mission ab*rtion

- Jessie! One moment.

- Hey, give it here

'Dear Mr Murphy, congratulations.

Your plan is working out.'

'As you predicted, Richie has come

to my house in search of you.'

'Currently, he's batting.'

'Please finish your antics fast,

or else it will be game over for you!'

Richie is coming home.

Jessie, the radio has to be

repaired at any cost today.

Please, I'll explain later.

It might rain any moment.

- David!

- You leave now, please!

I just got here.

I'm not going anywhere.

Jessie, please!

No!

Please!

The umbrella is by the door.

Take it!

Richie, where are you off to?

Let's watch the match.

I'm not interested, man.

Richie, the match...

Richie, that umbrella looks like

the one you have at home.

There must be 1000 such in the village.

Are they all from my home?

No, Richie. Look, it is

definitely from your home.

- Jessie!

- And who's holding that umbrella?

That's not from your home!

Is that our Jessie?

Jessie!

Richie

There maybe many lookalikes

of our Jessie in this village!

Can all Jessies be our Jessie?

Ok, let it go.

David's bike is here.

Where's he? At home?

'This oldie asks such tough questions!'

David's bike is here.

Where's he? At home?

I'm asking you the same!

'What shall I say?'

Yes. No way! No!

- Either say yes. Or no.

- Jessie is home.

- Don't say both!

- David isn't home.

- Richie! I'll get the umbrella back for you

- Get lost!

Hey, is it ready?

'David.'

'Tell me correctly.'

Was he in the army or the CID?

"Richie the tiger"

"Richie the hunter"

"Richie the tiger"

"Richie the hunter"

Hmmm...

So...

She had come here.

Who, Richie?

I know.

I know you won't tell me anyway.

Richie, I really don't know

who or what you're talking about.

I was working in the garden

when it started to rain.

And then the doorbell rang and

you both were standing there.

What happened?

Let me tell you something.

We live in a very small town.

Everyone knows everyone here.

Should something go wrong,

will you take responsibility for it?

'Can we live with

dignity after that?'

Forget about us.

Have you ever thought

of that girl's future?

Richie, what nonsense

are you talking?

You think we're small kids?

Or do you think

we're irresponsible?

Richie, we're all grownups!

And we very well

know what we're doing!

You're all grownups now.

If that girl's father gets

to know she had come here...

If he does, it's fine, Richie.

So what? I'll handle it.

I'll do something.

I don't see any problem here!

So, she did come here!

And you?

'Were you waiting on them?'

Are you a security guard for them!

Idiot!

Security guard? Me?

It's useless talking to you.

I know how to take

control of the situation.

I shall go meet her tomorrow.

Give me the duplicate

key of the house.

From tomorrow, I will drop

and pick you up from college.

Enough, Richie!

What did you just say?

You'll control everything?

What do you take us for?

You think I'm a radio

which you can control?

He'll drop me and

pick me up it seems!

I'm not a child to do that!

Nor are you my father!

- You're not my father!

- 'David!'

And, in fact you

can never be one!

Shucks!

David!

Richie...

Hi, David!

My boy.

Alex!

Hi, Jessie.

Sorry...

What happened, David?

What's the matter, dude?

Just tell me!

What do you call

someone who unites lovers?

They call him messenger of God.

Isn't it?

You know what Richie

called me for uniting them?

What did he say?

Security guard it seems.

He called me a security guard!

You united them both?

Yes, exactly.

You are a security guard, dude!

For sure a security guard!

- Hey, stop it you both.

- David.

Why are you so worried?

You know Richie, right?

You can't change

what has happened. Drop it!

No, Jessie.

Somehow we managed it so far.

Now it's destroyed!

David, look here.

Listen to me.

In fact, you did all of this

to give it as a gift to Richie, right?

But now, don't feel

bad about it, David.

Before he discovers

that the radio is conked,

it's better you apologise

and tell him the truth.

'Maximum, what can happen?'

He might get angry and

not talk for a few days.

I'm sure he'll forgive you.

Besides, there's no shame

in asking Richie for forgiveness.

Richie...

Richie...

Richie...

Shucks!

Dammit!

'Alex you fool! Bloody fool!'

Richie will k*ll me

'Hey! Is he crazy?'

'He's switched it on and

is screaming like a mad man!'

'You and your radio!'

'We're getting late for practicals.'

'It's the last day to submit our project.'

'And today is physics practicals.

Your favourite!'

'Hey, but it's not him today.'

- '- It's Lawrence sir today.

- If he doesn't come, will you bunk?'

'Do I have to get dressed to see Lawrence?

I'm sorry. You guys go.'

'Okay! Bye.'

Can you hear me?

Hello?

'Who are you?'

Hello?

'I...I'm Janani.'

'So did you hear

everything I said?'

'Must have been a cross connection.'

'Strange, isn't it?'

'Who are you?'

- '- What's your name?

- Nanda?

Mr Nanda.

- Sorry, I kept blabbering.

- No!

My name is David.

'h*...Ok.'

Actually, it is quite strange.

'These cross connections happen

only with devices in one's area'

By an chance,

are you from my area?

'Your area? Which one?'

Aldona.

'Hey! I live in Aldona!'

Really? No wonder!

That's why the cross connection!

In a strange way,

to get connected.

Anyway

By the way, what do you do?

'I'm doing my Bachelors at Aloysius.'

Wow!

Which department?

'PCM, 2ND YEAR.'

Ok, I don't know what to say...

You know what?

I'm your senior.

I'm in third year Electricals.

So your name is Janani, right?

Can you tell me your full name?

'Janani Chandrashekhar'

Miss Janani Chandrashekhar

Are you sure you're from PCM?

Because, I have some friends in PCM.

But I've never heard

them mention you.

'Really?'

'Even I've never heard of you.'

'Are you sure you're

from this college?'

I think there's a lot of confusion.

Can we catch up?

Can I get your number?

'I knew it the moment you asked,

'where are you from,'

'which department, let's meet and

now finally phone number.'

'What next? Love?'

- '- The moment it's a girl...'

- Hello, I have a girlfriend.

She's very beautiful

and I'm sorted.

I'm not looking to

make friends with you,

or falling in love.

Not interested!

It's a cross connection, yes.

And we are in the same college.

So, I want to see your

radio at least once, please!

If you don't mind.

'Okay. At the college sitout.

Sharp 11 am.'

Done! Thank you.

But how do I identify you?

'Bye!'

Miss Janani Chandrashekhar...

Hello?

Hello!

David!

Je...Jessie!

Why did you come here?

Who else can come into

your life, except for me?

And by the way,

- Isn't your practicals next week?

- Jessie, I was waiting for a girl.

So that's why I was waiting here.

So there's already someone?

Not bad, David!

I just merely teased

you about another girl...

Wow! This is news to me.

- Jessie!

- Good!

What am I trying to say...

and what you are saying,

I have no clue.

What am I talking? Me?

Okay sir, what's madam's name?

- Jessie!

- What's her name?

Jessie, what...

Her name is Janani. But Jessie...

Enough!

I got it.

Leave me!

Janani, listen.

Janani?

- Jessie, let me explain.

- Janani? No, David.

You know what?

Janani. Jessie.

Ah! Women!

'Oh, Mr David!'

'Are you here?'

I am! Don't you have any humanity?

'- Absolutely no humanity!'

Just because

I respect you as a girl...

You make a girl wait and play a joke!

What kind of

a person are you, man?

'What kind of a person

are you, Mr David!'

Done? You're repeating

everything I want to say!

I've been waiting since 11 am!

'- Since 11 am,'

'I've been roaming around

like a fool with this radio!'

Exactly! That's my question.

Actually, I'm angry for two reasons.

One, for making you wait like a fool.

- The other is, all your dialogues were mine!

- Yeah, whatever!

Including the word "humanity."

Janani, tell me correctly.

- Are you really from my college or...

- No!

'Definitely not! You are

not from my college!'

'Because I'm studying

in St Aloysius college.'

'Such a bloody liar!'

I'm lying?

I've been waiting since morning!

And you know what?

I almost broke up with Jessie.

- 'You're the bloody reason!'

- Jessie?

A girlfriend, too?

'You're the only one with a girlfriend.

We're all monks. We too have commitments.'

'I couldn't even go to my department.

I had to meet my lecturer...'

There's no need for this discussion.

Just send me a picture

on Whatsapp. I'll identify it.

- '- Huh? What is that?'

- Whatsapp.

On Whatsapp...ok, forget it.

What's your ID on Instagram?

Tell me your Insta ID.

'Whatsapp?'

'What is that?'

'Do you even know

what you're saying?'

God knows what time

& age you're living in!

Whatsapp. Instagram.

You don't even have Whatsapp?

Do one thing. Just ask the person

next to you to install it on your phone.

'Sir'

'I don't want any installment or loans.'

'It's goodbye to you and the radio!'

'Just leave me alone.'

You don't have a phone?

'Yes, the hostel number.

Only the warden uses it.'

I'll give it to you. Have fun!'

Oh god! Feels like I'm talking

to someone in the 90s!

'In the 90s, obviously we'll talk

like it's the 90S. Not the Stone Age!'

Yeah right! And you

want me to believe this!

'Your belief doesn't matter to me!'

'I've been tolerating you for long.

You speak nonsense!'

Are you aware of

what you're saying?

Or have you had a head injury and

woken up from a coma after 25 years?

Ask somebody who is next to you!

'Enough David. I have

heard enough of you.'

'I want to watch the World Cup match.

I have to go. Bye.'

Wait! World Cup?

Betting on the highlights itself!

Super, I appreciate it

'David, stop bullshitting.

You're seriously irritating me!'

'There's a limit to joking.'

'Talking to you, I've

missed half the innings!'

'Please let me go!'

The team has already

won and is back home.

What will you do watching

the highlights now?

Hello, even I know they'll win...

But I want to see my Sachin making us win.

Tendulkar?

He retired in 2013!

Why will he come now and

win the World Cup for you?

Do one thing,

I think you need to

get mentally checked!

- Janani...

- How could you?

Are you crying?

'How could you?'

Okay, listen.

I'm sorry.

'You're making

fun of me, it's okay.'

'But my Sacchu?'

Sacchu?

'Enough.'

- '- I can't bear this pain.'

- Janani, listen.

I'm so sorry! Correct.

Whatever you're saying is correct.

Actually, I'm unable to understand.

Okay.

You're watching the match, right?

At least, can you tell

me which one it is?

'World Cup semi finals.

India vs Sri Lanka.'

India vs Sri Lanka.

Highlights, right?

13th March 1996 and it is live!

- Live?

- 'Yes'

'And thanks for making me cry!'

Look

I'm sorry.

Janani, I'm finding it so

hard to believe this...

As much as you being in 1996 is true,

me being in 2024 is just as true.

And I can prove that to you.

'Oh! New story!'

'Let's get it aired

on Surabhi'

'For your kind information,

it was not so nice to speak to you, bye'

Janani! One moment, please!

You can erase these 10 minutes

from your life, later. Please!

One last chance, okay?

Janani?

'Yeah...'

Okay, yeah.

'How much longer?'

One moment. The Net speed...

'talking about internet

speed with a pager, karma'

'I have to go'

'David, I can't wait.'

I'm extremely sorry.

In the 34th over,

a fight breaks out.

And the audience

begin to throw bottles.

Keeping all the safety &

security issues in mind,

based on the run rate,

Sri Lanka is declared as the winner.

'What? To hell with you, man!'

What? To hell with me?

Okay.

Miss Janani

Tomorrow same place, same time

you will be back for sure.

And agree to everything I said.

Wanna take a bet?

'Yeah, I'll come running.'

'Keep dreaming.'

I'll be waiting!

'Is she lying or am I delusional?'

Wow!

'In the 34th over, a fight breaks out.'

'The audience will begin throwing bottles.'

'Keeping all safety and

security issues in mind,'

'based on the run rate,'

'Sri Lanka is declared as the winner.'

'David...'

'Richie, good morning.

Where are you? What you upto?'

'I'll be anywhere I want and with whoever

I want. That is none of your business.'

Richie, why are you

getting angry now?

'Are you my father to ask me all this?

You're not my father.'

'In fact, you can never be one.'

Oh! Counter dialogue.

'Janani...'

David, are you there?

'Yeah'

Did you watch the match?

Sri Lanka won, isn't it?

There was a fight, too.

- '- Kambli was crying.'

- Yes, I told you!

But, how David?

Because I'm from the future.

But I'm unable to believe you.

I'm scared.

'Janani, why should you be scared?'

Something unique is

happening between us.

Don't you think this is magical?

Don't you think there

is a greater purpose to it?

Whatever the purpose may be,

I'm having a hard

time believing it.

Is this even real

or a mere illusion?

But how?

Janani

How and why it happened is

something even I don't know.

But the fact is that

this has happened.

There's a saying that one must

never question the origins of a monk.

Likewise, let's not

get into the details.

'Even we don't know how long

this radio will function this way.'

'So until it lasts,

let's happily talk!'

The day it stops working,

we will think of it as

a miracle and cherish it.

'Also, there's a terror in my house.'

'It's my grandpa & he should never

get to know about this radio.'

'So we talk between

11 am & 4 pm, okay?'

- 'Okay...'

- Okay...

What next?

Every day, conversations from

the past to the future will be on.

I'll introduce my friends to you.

And you introduce your

friends to me, that's it.

David...

To be honest, I don't have

friends who will believe all this.

And no close friends at all.

I'm actually an orphan.

'Think of me as a lone soul.'

That's okay!

I have a very good bunch of friends

I'll introduce you to them.

And now on you must never

think you have no friends.

That's how I'll treat you!

Let's talk everyday!

What say?

Okay!

So tell me

Is Jessie your girlfriend?

Yeah.

Jessie is my girlfriend.

"O mind, like a flower"

"Journey forth"

"Journey forth with joy"

"O gentle breeze"

"Convey the message"

"convey it softly"

"Journey forth with joy"

"Every day a newness"

"An embrace, again and again"

"Why stand so far away, my dear"

"when I sing?"

'This poem is so beautiful!'

Specially this line

'Nanna Preetige

Ninna Bennu Sothiralu'

So romantic.

Where was this?

I have never seen this before.

I know.

It's beautiful.

Actually, I found it

while cleaning my room.

I didn't want to discard it.

So I have kept it.

Have you ever written a poem for me?

Tell me.

Where should I write it?

On paper or...

"Time..."

"Oh time..."

"remember"

"my friend"

"Time..."

"Oh time..."

"soothe"

"this heart"

- David

- Yes.

I'll tell you something

- 'Hmm...!'

- You will not tell anyone else, right?

Dumbo!

What difference will it make

to you if I tell anyone about it?

You're right.

- David

- 'Hmm...!'

There's a person called Joe.

'Hmm...!'

The first time I saw him,

I could feel some

strong connection.

I approached him

wanting to talk but,

I can't summon

the courage to do so.

Yet, whenever he's around

I feel so happy!

Don't know, David

Okay...

So this great man Joe,

may I know who is he exactly?

Physics

Guest

Lecturer.

Physics lecturer?

Are you serious?

I keep going to him with

an excuse of having doubts,

but I'm unable to.

Because I can't figure

even the P in Physics!

So, Miss Janani

now is your problem Physics,

or the Chemistry with him?

If I flunk in Physics, forget chemistry,

my love story will remain a mystery.

Joe and your love story will not

become a mystery, but create history!

I bet you! Watch out.

David, please David!

Oh my Issac Newton Janani!

I can easily find

the 1996 question paper!

Because I am in the future!

Think about it!

Yes!

"The stars in the sky"

"like us"

"again and again"

"Like the ever-shining love,

we are forever"

"Isn't it beautiful?"

"Time..."

"Oh time..."

"remember"

"my friend"

"Time..."

"savoring every moment"

"soothe"

"my friend"

"O mind, like a flower"

"Journey forth"

"Journey forth with joy"

"O gentle breeze"

"Convey the message"

"Convey it softly"

"Journey forth with joy"

"Time..."

"Oh time..."

"remember"

"my friend"

"Time..."

"savoring every moment"

"soothe"

"my friend"

David...

David, are you there?

'Can you hear me?'

'David, speak!'

'David, I know you're here.'

'Sorry, David.'

'I know you're angry with me.'

'But, I was not in a place

to explain anything to you.'

'I was extremely tensed.'

'However tensed you might be,'

just one small information.

You have no idea about

what I went through!

Except for this radio, I have

no means to talk or even see you!

'How can you

just disappear like that!'

'What should I conclude?'

Joe met with an accident, David.

'But he's fine now.'

'I...I am really sorry.'

'I just blabbered without

knowing the facts.'

It's okay, David.

It's you after all.

Probably if I were in this situation,

my reaction would

have probably been worse.

But, how did all of

this happen, Janani?

All of a sudden, I got to know

Joe is leaving the college.

'We organised a farewell

and gave him a send-off.'

Just after he left college,

I got to know

he met with an accident.

I felt so bad for him.

Before the accident, everyone had

gone to click photos with him.

But I didn't have the guts to

approach him with a sad face.

So I stood behind

a pillar and cried.

'I think he waited for me'

'But I didn't go.'

Had I gone to him then,

he'd have probably

escaped the accident.

It's all my mistake.

Janani, please don't say that.

It's not in your hands!

Okay.

Where is he now?

We took him to the hospital.

Tried calling his parents.

But they weren't in town.

So it was my responsibility.

I had to stay there

and look after him.

- 'You know how it feels...'

- I'm sorry to say this, but

I feel luck took a U-turn

to work in your favour!

So tell me.

Was it just taking care or...!

Shut up!

Nothing of that sort happened.

'I've written a poem for him.'

I've expressed my feelings in it.

I hope he reads it...

Wow! Interesting!

I see that the chemistry has

worked out in your love story!

Okay. Recite your poem.

I'll listen.

I'm feeling shy...

What if you laugh

after listening to it?

I'll try to use it in my love story.

Are you sure?

'If it's nice, I'll definitely use it.'

'David! Come on!'

Sorry! Ok,

Please recite.

"The roaring whispers"

"While I watch over thee,"

"when will thou lead me,"

"asked the roaring whispers."

"Like a shadow that never questions"

"when will I follow thee,

asked the roaring whispers."

"Can I be the melody

of thy laughter"

"for a diminutive epoch

asked the roaring whispers"

"You would shy away at

the very glimpse of his ear mole"

"when will you mutter thy love,

smirked the roaring whispers."

"While I am lost in thy love,"

"when will you lose yourself to me,

asked the roaring whispers"

"When will thee, like every

membrane of thou heart,"

"endear me asked

the roaring whispers"

"When will I like the melting dew,"

"at the ray of dawn flux

asked the roaring whispers."

"Gushing and roaring"

"Paving into the heart"

"Beaming into a smile

Fighting the blush"

"Trembling and tiptoeing"

"Just before returning "

"Shied away beautifully"

"The roaring whispers"

David

'How do you...'

Janani...

'David'

By any chance

is your Joe

Is

Joseph Richard Murphy?

'Yes...'

'But...'

'David, how do you know this?'

'Joe.'

'And...and the poem?'

'I wrote this two days ago!'

'How do you already know it?'

'Oh god!'

'I'm confused.'

'David'

'Please say something!'

'I'm not understanding

what's happening,'

'Don't be quiet, please!'

Janani

The poem you've written

- Is in my hand

- David...

And Joseph Richard Murphy

is my father.

Joseph Richard Murphy is my father.

'David...'

'David, please say something!'

'I am unable to understand

what's happening!'

'Don't be quiet, please!'

Janani...

The poem you've written...

- Is in my hand

- David...

And Joseph Richard Murphy

...is my father.

David...

By saying such things

Please don't pull my leg

You're scaring me.

I'm not pulling your leg, Janani.

Joseph Richard Murphy

...is my father.

Is this the greater purpose

you were talking about?

'Every time I spoke to you,'

I didn't even imagine

that such a day would come!

Why was I so comfortable

while talking to you?

Why did I feel so connected to you?

Why did all of this happen...

I've got the answer today.

'Are you speechless ever since

you got to know you're my son?'

Sorry.

This is how I am when I'm happy.

I keep blabbering nonsense

Janani, you're not my mom.

You're not my mother, Janani.

Enough with your jokes.

I know...

I didn't speak to you

for three days, so...

you must be angry.

'I cannot take it.'

I'm damn serious, there's no way

I'm not your mother!

I know this David!

You're g*dd*mn lying!

Please, David.

You're lying, isn't it?

Okay.

I won't get angry.

Please

Tell me

Her name was Rachel.

My mother.

It was not a happy marriage.

When I was 3 years old,

she left papa and

me for someone else.

Papa looked after me so well and made sure

I never felt the absence of a mother.

All was well.

Me, papa and Richie.

On that day, it was

Richie's and my birthday.

When papa was

returning home with a gift,

he met with an accident.

And he's no more!

He's no more.

He's no more.

I'm sorry Janani.

I'm sorry...

Janani...

Janani...Janani...

"Breath..."

"you tell me now"

"Oh breath..."

"Where is your place?"

"I stood still, crying,"

"before the sea"

"I lost the tears

of my eyes"

"As the sun set"

"The waves were crashing relentlessly"

"Oh breath..."

"you tell me now"

If they loved each other so much,

Didn't she express

her feeling to Joe at all, David?

What would have happened

after they left the college?

And moreover,

why did he marry Rachel?

"The heaviness in the heart, like a cloud"

David!

"Every drop of melody

is filled with worry."

David!!!

What are you upto?

How many times have I told

you not to enter this room!

Why did you come here?

"Like a forsaken boat adrift"

Why are you

still standing here?

Go out!

Get lost!

"When the door of the heart's

dwelling is unlatched"

"when the light fades ahead"

"when the calling voice grows tired"

"and weeps"

"the hand that once wiped away tears

is no longer near"

"as long as I exist"

"the desire to live"

"Before I depart"

"a path that is differ

"Breath..."

"you tell me now"

"Oh breath..."

"Where is your place?"

"The heaviness in the heart, like a cloud"

"Every drop of melody is filled with worry"

"Standing in the scorching wind"

"Like a forsaken boat adrift"

He never confided in me

about this matter.

I too never asked him.

Just once.

Only once,

had he spoken about it to me,

today, he'd have been alive.

He'd have been with us.

I wish I can go back in time,

And change everything!

I miss him a lot!

I miss him, Richie!

Hi...

'Janani...Janani, listen'

'I have a big surprise for you.'

'if you listen to that,

I'm sure you'll die out of happiness!'

'Janani, are you listening?

Yes...

I'm listening.

Your surprise is

already k*lling me, David,

Every time I see him,

the thought that he

won't survive, that is k*lling me.

His smile

His soul that keeps

everyone around him happy,

A heart that loves everyone.

I know that it's all short lived now.

That is k*lling me!

Should I be scared...

Should I cry...

or should I accept it as

my fate and stay quiet?

There's a lot of

unexpected rains these days.

It's the same in my life, too.

Unexpected incidents

keep occurring.

Like the accident and you.

I hadn't thought of this Janani,

I've got a placement elsewhere.

I'm going to miss this place.

Feels rather heavy, Janani.

All these days, I wondered

why I didn't get a job there.

But today...

I don't feel like

leaving all of this behind.

Maybe, because of you.

'The fear that I will lose everything'

'But, now that I know

I will lose it for sure...'

'That is k*lling me.'

Why...?

Why, David?

Why...?

'All this...'

'It's k*lling me'

Sorry

I got carried away

by my emotions.

It's okay if I am not with him,

We must ensure that he's safe.

'David...'

Please help me, David.

I just need one...

one ray of hope!

'I have decided, David'

'if he's not there, I'll live

in the orphanage I grew up in.'

- 'I'll live all my life in his memories.'

- Janani.

Listen.

There is a solution for this.

'Have you ever heard

of the Domino Effect?'

What does it mean?

Like a small incident.

A very small move.

Can prevent an incident

beyond your wildest imagination.

If I have to elaborate this theory,

Just imagine,

playing cards are all lined up,

And if we slightly push the first card,

all the cards will fall in a row.

One after the other.

But if we keep aside

three cards in the same row?

It will stop falling.

Exactly!

Now, this is Domino Effect.

And

to prevent Joe from dying,

we must use this theory.

And only you can do it, Janani.

David...

How is it even possible?

- Besides...

- Janani...

How can I?

Okay

Let me explain this to you.

You said Joe met with an accident

soon after he exited the college.

Do you know how it happened?

He was exiting the gate of the college,

on his scooter, when a car hit him.

Janani, just imagine,

why did the car driver come there?

Let's insert a small reason

why the accident occurred.

Janani, just imagine.

At the farewell party, as he is getting

pictures taken with the staff and students,

Joe searches for you.

After clicking pictures, he waits for you,

but you don't show up, so he leaves.

Janani, instead of

hiding behind the pillar,

had you gone and stood

beside him while clicking pictures,

He'd not have spent time searching for you

and would've left the college early.

Did you understand, Janani?

Just your one move,

as mentioned by you that day,

could have prevented Joe's accident.

Similarly, if you are with him,

you can prevent the accident

that will happen in future,

and avoid his death, isn't it Janani?

Yes

He will not die.

Exactly!

You can stop all the mishaps

from happening to him.

Yes, David.

Then he will have a happy and

beautiful life.

Yes.

That's why, he must be with you.

You must propose to him.

You must marry him.

And you should stay with him forever.

Forever...

Forever!

Yes! Forever.

Janani...

Why are you quiet?

I've made a huge mistake, David.

I'm a mess!

What are you trying to say, Janani?

Joe met me in the morning.

It seemed like

he wanted to say something.

I'm leaving, Janani.

Going to Hyderabad.

I don't know when I'll be back.

Is there anything

you want to say?

About us...

Janani...

I'll be taking the last ferry

at 5:30 pm today.

I'll see you there.

Joe...

Janani!

Jacket.

I'll be waiting, Jenny...

Jenny!

You will come, right?

But

I just didn't realise it.

Pained by the thought of losing him,

I didn't even realise

what he was saying.

He was next to me, David!

I'm such a fool!

Janani, all is not lost!

You still have time.

You just go to him.

No, David.

No.

How can I go?

The way I treated him this morning,

he...

what if he rejects me?

'Janani, you have no idea

how much he loves you!'

'I've read so many letters that

he wrote and couldn't give you!'

It was all you.

It was you everywhere!

you were the only one in his heart!

He was madly in...

He's madly in love with you, Janani!

So Janani, there is a hope.

And you are that hope, Janani.

Go right now and confess

your love to Joe, Janani!

Please go, Janani!

Janani, please go.

Please...

Joe!!!

'Jenny...!'

"Oh cloud"

"to come together as rain"

"You"

"For me, for me, for me alone..."

"You"

"Oh, Janani..."

"You are my boon"

"You are my love"

"As the rain descends gently"

"My heart descends with it"

"It melts..."

"It melts..."

"The sky has melted"

"it has melted"

"A tender bud has blossomed"

"To touch the shores where sky meets sea"

"Come, let us ascend the bridge of breath"

"To pen the poetry of these droplets"

"The language of longing stands shy"

"As the rain descends gently"

"My heart descends with it"

Good morning, papa.

Here's your coffee.

Breakfast is ready

I have to go to work.

No need, stay back for a while.

Please keep some extra breakfast.

The prospective bride's

family is visiting us.

It's best we find you a bride before you

roam the streets with another girl.

Excuse me, papa.

Yes, coming.

"To regain the time that slipped away"

"need no world's embrace"

"but yours alone"

"A hand stretched forth

to touch the sky's glowing lamp"

"and the heavens bent to reach this hand"

"To touch the shores where sky meets sea"

"Come, let us ascend

the bridge of breath"

"To pen the poetry of these droplets"

"The language of longing stands shy"

"Oh cloud, to come together as rain..."

Joe, you should be

hugging her, not me!

And listen.

Because I made you a lecturer,

you found such a nice girl.

So Richard Murphy

is always right!

Mark that.

You should have seen Joe!

He was surprised!

Jenny!

Joe!

What are you doing here?

Richard Murphy asked me to hug you.

Oh really?

What else did he tell you?

He didn't but I'm saying,

I love you!

Will you marry me?

David.

Who am I?

And for my sake, you...

I am not finding the words

to express my happiness!

when the life

I dreamt of is in front of me

I don't even know

if it is real or an illusion.

like the words of a wonderful poem

is dancing on the empty canvas,

My heart is dancing with joy!

My life looks complete now.

'And the reason for all this is you, David'

'Not me.'

I've never seen him this happy.

Every time he smiled.

his smile was incomplete.

But today...

'I could see his smile reaching his eyes!'

'Thank you, David.'

You're the best!

Thank you so much.

- Janani.

- Hmm...!

I only have one memory with papa...

Of playing with him at the beach.

Even that memory has faded

Like somebody is calling me from far...

A feeling like I'm drowning in water...

And just as I am drowning,

papa runs to me and reaches out to my hand

And by the time he holds it,

'I wake up.'

Every time, even in my dreams,

I lose him Janani.

You say he's really happy today.

But I'm not lucky enough to see it.

Janani...

If you don't mind,

just once,

only once can I listen to his voice?

Please...

Please?

David.

Just give me a minute.

One moment, please.

Janani, what are upto?

I'm not supposed to be coming here.

David. David.

David again.

'So many posters by the name David?'

'Interesting. Jenny...'

Who is this, David?

It looks like some 'David' is getting

more importance than me!

'Do I need to be worried about him?'

'I like the name David.'

So much?

Yes, you can say that.

You too will like the name

since you're with me.

Do I have any option?

'I will like it.'

'Jenny'

'Had you not been there,'

I can't even imagine my life.

I didn't imagine that papa would

accept you so easily!

I just realised one thing.

'That he loves me a lot.

I had never asked him

for anything in life.

The mistake is mine.

Before I even asked,

he'd have everything ready for me.

'For me'

'he's always been a hero.'

And on how a good father should be,

he has set the best example.

Janani, trust me.

The love and friendship

I will give to our little one,

'and more than all, the faith.'

'That I have got his back.'

'Jenny, my kids are going to

love me more than you!'

'And I'm already in love with them!'

I love you so much.

For making this happen.

I heard that.

Hello

That was him, isn't it?

I heard him.

I heard him.

It was him, right?

Sorry, Richie.

I wanted to surprise you

on your birthday.

but I never thought that

the surprise would be like this.

I didn't believe it at first.

Me being in 2024 is as

true as you being in 1996.

'The roaring whispers'

Beaming into a smile,

fighting the blush.

Who is this David?

Grandpa...

Why did you hide all this from me?

Fear grandpa...Fear...

That you might shout at me

if you get to know.

I was scared.

Sorry.

Sorry. He is sorry apparently!

Does as he pleases and says sorry!

If I'm alive till date,

it's because I see him in you.

Yes, I get angry.

I'm elder.

I will scold you

I hit you

I stop talking

when I'm angry with you.

But have I ever loved you any less?

I don't know what fear he had for me,

He would never share

anything with me.

And now, you too...

I could never tell him this.

Now, I can't even tell him.

But please

Forgive me

if I've done anything wrong.

But never hide anything

from me from now on.

Never.

Who else do I have, except you?

Will Joe really come back?

Yes, grandpa.

He's going to come back.

He is coming back!

Richie, happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you too!

Jenny.

You know what?

I just can't wait to start

my life with you.

My family with you.

You seem to have thought far ahead.

Of course.

Remember we spoke

about David in your room?

since that day, that name

has been lingering in my mind.

Can we name our son David?

Somehow from that day,

I feel he's been around

us like a cute cupid!

And he's trying really

hard to bring us together.

I'm just looking forward

to this, Jenny.

Yes.

You've come alone?

Richie?

He's out.

Sorry.

He says he can't bear

to see you like this.

Jessie...

In case I die,

what will you

wear to the funeral?

Gown or a frock?

- What nonsense are you talking?

- Gown.

Wear a gown,

you'll look good.

You'll look good.

You know what?

Actually, you're the most...

most beautiful woman in the world!

Especially when you're decked up.

'Jessie, can you come closer?'

What happened, Jessie?

Jessie, please don't cry.

He acts like that sometimes,

Don't you know that?

Only thing he had

in his mind was that radio!

now, this has happened.

Why did he have to bother

about such things?

He wants to change a story

that happened 20 years ago!

Is he mad?

Does he want to get them married

and then play with their kids?

First of all, if they get married,

how will this guy...

'How will this guy be born?'

'Janani...'

'Finally, it's the day for you, man!'

'I'm so happy for you both.'

'Richie proudly declared last night,'

that his daughter-in-law is

a strong and determined girl.

'As though he found

you for Joe!'

'I'm so happy for my boy!'

Had Richie himself

found a bride for Joe,

he'd not have been

able to find a girl like you.

That's for sure, Janani.

Tony...thank you!

Leave that aside.

I heard that in the future,

a name for a baby boy has been decided.

Joe was talking about it.

What is that?

David.

Yes! David.

'David Joseph Murphy'

So you knew everything all along.

Right?

Yes. Do you think

I'm a fool like you, Jessie!

But why David?

Joe.

Please!

They won't even know the sacrifice

you're about to make!

Stop this right now!

'Jessie...'

'What's your dad's salary?'

'Do you know your college fee?'

'Add to this your daily

expenses, funds for the future'

'your marriage expense.

All this has to be kept'

Tell me what are they left

with in the end after all this?

'Yet, till the end, all they want is

their daughter's happiness.'

'How selfless they are!'

All parents are like that, Jessie.

They make sacrifices,

but never think twice about it.

When they don't think twice,

why should we give it

a second thought, Jessie?

Do you know the consequences

of what you're going to do?

I will be completely

wiped out of everyone's memory.

'Actually, I'm not bad at physics.'

Isn't it?

Shut up!

I have an old, conked radio at home.

Why doesn't that radio

talk to me like yours?

Shall I give you that manual?

Which one?

Lays Charles.

He's Loose Charles.

What you're doing and for whom?

if I don't understand all this,

then who will?

Even I have known

the pain of losing a father.

I know what it feels like!

Whenever I missed him,

I'd take strength from the fact,

that I have you.

What will I do without you!

What's this drama, dude!

I'm going now...

So I'll convey

it to your dad.

My father...

would have already

found someone there by now.

Shut up.

Is he also like you?

He's not like me.

I'm exactly like him.

You're like no one.

You're like a security guard!

I'm asking you again, Richie.

Where is the radio, tell me!

If I'm alive, it means the wedding

hasn't taken place there!

Richie say something, please!

What do you

want me to say?

I'm least bothered about

what's happened there.

You're there with me today

and that's enough for me.

Nobody will mention

that radio again.

That is final.

Shucks!

I failed miserably, Jessie.

They should've got married.

Yes.

They should have got married.

But had they done so,

David wouldn't have existed.

And without David,

there's no Jessie too.

I had decided

in the hospital itself.

If you're not in my life,

I'll do service

at some orphanage,

and dedicate my life

to your memory.

Because,

I'm the happiest only

around you, David.

'If he isn't in my life, I'll live the rest of

my life in the orphanage I grew up in.'

'I'll live the rest of

my life in his memory.'

Jessie.

Will you really join

an orphanage, if I'm not there?

Loving you makes me

feel complete, David.

I don't want anything

if you're not there!

- How could I miss this!

- Huh?

How could I miss this!

Jessie, you know what?

Your love makes me the best.

Neither can I imagine

my life without you.

I'll bring back all

the joys we've lost.

Just give me some time.

Sir, Janani...

- Is there anybody called Janani here?

- No, I don't know.

- Sir, are you sure?

- There's no one, dude!

- Janani Chandrashekhar!

- I don't know who that is, go away!

'Jenny!'

Jenny! Sir, Jenny.

Jenny madam, at this hour?

She already must be

at the bridge by now.

The Ferry Point bridge, my man!

Janani...

Joe...

David.

'Janani, why did you do this?'

'Everything was going well, isn't it?'

'At the last moment'

'Why?'

'Do you know what a fine job

Joe did by selecting you!'

'Because he's someone who

listens to Richie all the time!'

If you guys were

not this determined,

'It's only when Tony spoke

to me that I realised'

'that if I marry Joe,'

'how will you be born?'

It's ok if I don't get Joe,

I wanted to save him from death,

and ensure that you live.

But I couldn't save

him from dying...

'The brief time I spent with Joe'

'is enough for my lifetime.'

Even today for his sake,

I come to the spot

where we lost him.

I don't know...

I wait for him like a mad person.

always in the hope that

he'll appear in some form,

and talk to me!

'Even though you're

not born to me'

The son born just for me

had to live

The wish that I'll

see you, cuddle you

has finally been fulfilled today.

See?

Life does come full circle, right?

Then why didn't

you come all these days?

'How would I, David?'

'I didn't have

the courage to do so!'

'I was the one who left him

at the altar and insulted him.'

'Had I come back, how

would he accept me?'

'And after Tony

spoke to me, I realised'

'The reason David is born is not

because of Joe and Janani,

'It was because of Joe and Rachel.'

'So had I gotten married then,

you wouldn't have been born.'

'And it would've been impossible

to convince everyone about this matter.'

Okay, forget all that.

But I was very confident

about one thing.

I waited for you.

To come someday,

and see me.

and then,

I'll cuddle you

And you'll call me "mom."

That was my wish...

That hope isn't a lie, right?

Mom...

'Janani...'

'Thank you.'

'Joe...'

'I love you.'

'Murphy'
