Param Sundari (2025)

[bunniefuu]

Soulmate...

Your one, true love.

The one meant just for you. Forever.

They say there's someone special

out there for everyone.

I've no idea,

who came up with that, though.

But I believed it. And somehow, now,

I've gotten into trouble because of it.

That guy in a mundu, half-naked,

running by the beautiful river

under this open sky...

that's me, Param!

Today, either my legs hold me up,

or theirs take me down.

This place changed everything.

That girl...

changed me.

Good morning, I feel sexy,

One of a kind, nobody's like me.

God made me handsome,

with a built to inspire.

Sweet is my face

and my body is fire.

I'm someone's dream boy,

someone's desire.

At my entry they rise

with a Bollywood choir.

These days, everything's tracked.

Steps. Reps.

What you eat. What you drink.

When you wake up.

How long you sleep.

Everything.

We trust artificial intelligence

more than our own instincts.

Why?

Because data doesn't lie, right?

Dressed up in a suit and goggles.

Dressed up in a suit and goggles.

Boy, your looks are to die for.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Everyone wants everything.

Right here, right now.

And when it comes to dating...

it's whoever, whenever, wherever.

Swipe left. Swipe right.

Meet, date, delete, repeat.

I invest in technology.

The money's my dad's,

But the vision? That's mine.

I've started plenty of start ups,

but still haven't found my unicorn.

And that's okay.

You have to fall before you rise.

But now... I can feel

that something's about to shift.

All I need is one idea.

That one idea that can shake the world.

I present to you, FIND MY SOULMATE.

This app will find you

a genuine connection.

Our app doesn't just matches bodies

or personalities,

But it matches souls.

Every vibration has

its own particular frequency,

and that frequency connects

straight to your soul.

How do we figure out the frequency,

and who it belongs to?

That's where this app comes in, sir.

Expert psychiatrists,

physicists, neuroscientists,

AI engineers from all over

the world came together,

collected data, and developed

the infrastructure of this app.

All you got to do is log in to the app,

fill out a basic questionnaire.

The app scans you

and finds your unique body signature.

And then,

let the algorithm work its magic.

Where do you get your database from?

These days, everyone's got a smartphone.

So, every device becomes

a data-point for us.

Is your user base only in India,

or international too?

For now it's only in India.

But one second,

someone's soulmate could be outside

your active database, right?

Correct, sir.

That's why, once we get seed funding,

we'll scale up our active database

and we'll go from local to global.

Revenue model?

I'm sure people are willing to pay

a small subscription fee to find true love.

You know, to be honest,

theoretically, your idea makes sense.

But practically,

I don't think it's going to work.

There's only one way to find out, sir.

This is your chance to find your

own happily ever after.

Yes, I'm okay with Ganga-Jamuna too.

Alright, bye.

See you at the office tomorrow.

Yeah, okay.

Good morning, Dad.

Morning.

You look happy today.

Yeah, Namit called.

Who's Namit?

Our real estate broker.

All the money I lost

by funding your start ups?

Today, I'm selling your office

and getting it all back.

He's got me a k*ller deal.

Dad? No, where will I work then?

Work? When do you ever work?

Don't worry, you can come

to my office from tomorrow.

Dad, how many times do I have to say,

I can work anywhere,

just not at your office.

You fool, you don't have to work.

Just chill there.

Keeping downing protein shakes.

Come on, let's have breakfast.

See?

This is the negativity

that's holding me back.

Oh, so now I'm the negativity?

Idiot.

Fine.

But remember this, when I have kids,

I'll tell them how their dad

finally found his unicorn idea...

And how their grandpa crushed it.

I'm off.

Wait.

What's the idea?

Okay.

What's the biggest problem

this generation faces?

What?

Loneliness. Feeling alone.

So?

So the solution

is this FIND MY SOULMATE app.

Dad, this app

will change the definition of love.

No more awkward dates.

No horoscope drama.

No dowry. No divorces.

The future is here, Dad.

It's in my hands.

But what do you want from me?

Just a small investment for R&D.

Five crores.

FIVE CRORES!?

No way!

I can't even say that out loud!

Forget it, Dad.

You never believed in me anyway.

Alright, listen.

Let's make a deal.

I'm a businessman. This is how I work.

First, prove the app actually works.

What do those fish tank guys say?

Right-proof of concept.

I want that.

Wait, you want to find your soulmate?

At your age?

Idiot. I meant you, not me.

Oh.

First, you find your soulmate.

Then, I'll give you your so-called

"small" investment.

My soulmate?

Okay.

Done.

Hold on, I have one condition.

If you don't find your soulmate

in one month...

I'll take back everything

you've been spoon-fed.

Deal?

Deal?

Okay. Deal, sir.

- Deal.

- Yes.

AI is the new God.

If you work with faith and patience,

anything's possible.

I've got neither faith nor patience.

You only get the money

if I find my 100% match.

Even 1% off and the deal's off.

Now get to work.

Bro, why don't you just get uncle drunk

and ask for the money?

He'll get all emotional and hand it over.

You don't know my dad.

Sir!

100%

What is this?

Nan-giar-gara-gara?

What is this? Where is this? Africa?

Allappuzha.

Oh, Sri Lanka.

Kerala?

Yeah.

My soulmate...

Are you sure?

Sir, this is what the algorithm is saying.

The-kke-paattu Sundari Damodaran Pillai.

Get me more details.

She's not on social media.

Yes.

But I found her house location online.

Turns out it's also a home stay.

Let's go.

Go where?

Kerala.

Thanks.

Param! Param, wait up!

Are you nuts or what?

You're seriously going to Kerala

to get screwed up?

Juggy, we've been chasing

our unicorn for years.

But we have earned neither money

nor respect.

If this app actually works,

Dad will believe in me

and my balance sheet goes green.

We'll be in the Forbes List.

We'll be right at the top.

Think about it, so many people out

there looking for their happily ever after.

We'll be the ones to bring them together.

Wait a second.

Aren't you the same guy

who believes

in "happy endings",

not happily ever afters?

What's wrong with you?

Don't talk about endings right now, bro.

This story's just getting started.

I'm going to meet my soulmate. You do you.

Bro, have I ever let you

go through any crap alone?

You really think

I'm letting you do this solo?

Just a sec.

I downloaded a Malayalam translation app.

Let's learn the basics before we land.

Okay, so... "Namaskaram" is "Namaste".

Genius.

Thank you.

To say "bye," it's Poyivaram.

To say "thank you," it's Valare Upakaram.

And for "nice to meet you,"

say Kandathil Santhosham.

Wow. Look at you!

Already learning the language.

Told you, I'm gonna rock it.

How about a beta test then?

- On him?

- Hmm.

Let's go for it.

Anna...

Anna, Namaskaram. Kandathil... Sosham.

Anna, myself Juggy.

You Malayalam, right?

Doofus, I'm from Sonipat.

I'm going to bury you right here for that.

Juggy, that's so r*cist.

Sorry bro! Sorry.

People like him shouldn't even

be allowed on planes.

Shoo. Stay away, stay away.

Go sit over there. Go on.

- Crazy guy.

- Idiot.

What is he even thinking?!

Here I am in "amma pakoda"

land, chasing some girl all because of you.

Come on, Juggy.

Step out of your comfort zone.

See the world beyond Delhi

and Gurugram for once.

I am seeing it.

But how are we gonna talk to anyone?

Even Canadians speak Punjabi, bro.

This place has a 96% literacy rate.

But now that you are here,

it probably dropped a few points.

Hehe.

Nonsense.

Welcome to Kerala, sir.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

My name is Rajan.

You both are looking very smart, sir.

- Thanks.

- Thank you, Rajan.

See... literacy.

Sir, try it. Have some!

- Hey bro, eyes on the road!

- Anna?

Wait, what do they say here?

How do you say brother in Malayalam?

- Look ahead and drive!

- Oh no!

Look ahead!

North or South, it's all the same,

When love's the one who runs the game.

We dove right in, head, heart, and soul,

In Sundari's love, we lost our control.

So thump your chest, And stake your claim,

Tie the wedding turban, and go

Haddippa!

However great the hurdles in sight,

He will still fool lovers

with all his might.

Our hero's bold, he won't delay,

He'll ride to take his bride away.

Haddippa!

Bro, one photo.

Come on, Juggy.

Look this way. One more.

Change the pose.

- Juggy, look over there.

- What the hell!

They say matches are made above,

In the sky,

Then why so many fights below, oh why?

Those who walk the path of love

are truly straight,

So why are the paths twisted by fate?

Bro, it's so hard to reach this place,

even the mobile network gave up.

Why does the boat of love get stuck,

Right in the middle, out of luck?

We dove right in, head, heart, and soul,

- Sundari?

- Yeah.

Go straight.

Okay.

No funny business with Sundari, okay?

- Okay.

- In Sundari's love, we lost our control.

Now you go straight, okay?

Go straight, straight, straight, straight.

Take a right at the sixth coconut tree,

okay? Okay? Okay?

Take a u-turn,

then go straight, straight, straight.

You'll reach a school.

Then take a left.

You'll reach the Thekkepaattu Homestay...

her home.

Got that?

Juggy, you got that?

- Yeah?

- First you get this straight:

Maintain safe distance, or else...

We dove right in, head, heart, and soul,

In Sundari's love, we lost our control.

Looks like she's loaded.

Instant right swipe, bro.

Stop gawking.

Monkey!

Amma!

Get out!

How many times do I have to tell you...

don't step into my house!

This house, NOT FOR SALE!

Sister, why are you getting angry at me?

I will give you good deal.

Deal-deal-deal, next time

you say deal I'll cut you in pieces!

GO AWAY!

Lady full crack!

What? Are you here for the house too?

Kandasham Santho...

no, Kamal Hassan Santosh Sivan.

Zip it.

Hi, I'm Param.

We've a booking.

Where? When?

Online?

- Online.

- Show it to her.

Oh, I forgot!

Welcome!

Sorry for that.

Two days ago, there was a storm here.

Big, like thunderstorm.

Since then the internet is poyi...

- Poyi?

- Off.

Anyway, follow me. Come, come.

- Come.

- Poyi.

Thekkepaattu Sundari Damodaran Pillai.

Just Sundari.

Nice name.

Param Sachdev.

Jagdeep Bedi.

You booked all the rooms.

Where's the rest of the group?

The rest?

It's just the two of us.

Oh...

so are you two planning

to settle down here or something?

Well, that's in your hands.

Excuse me?

I mean... our IDs.

Our IDs are in your hands.

Thanks.

So, what brings you here?

Good question.

You know the average person spends about

1.8 years of their life stuck in traffic?

Very sad.

That's why I'm taking a break

from city life.

You know, I want to travel across India.

Explore and get to know different cultures

and write a book about it.

Hmm, interesting.

Thanks.

And Kerala...

there's so much to write about.

Like...

Like the people, the cuisine, the

culture... and especially Pongal.

Pongal?

Yeah! You know,

when everyone goes to the temple,

dresses up like tigers, dances,

and makes those flower rangolis...

I think you mean Onam, sir.

Oh. Yeah, right. That.

Like I said, still learning.

Oh wow-painting!

Onam, Pongal-same thing, right?

Potato, pot ah to.

AMMU!!

Show our guests from UP their rooms!

Excuse me, madam-we're from Delhi.

Potato, pot ah to!

Hi, Chechi.

Hi, Ladoo.

Chichi?

Chechi. Sister.

Poli look.

Thanks.

Meaning?

I like your swag, bro.

Ah. Thanks, bro.

Alright!

Let's go.

Self-service?

Sundari!

One second, please?

How can I help you, sir?

Hi.

Hi.

Yeah, so...

do you guys have a memory foam mattress?

You know, it's just better for my back.

Oh, back issue?

Now sleep! Best for back.

Yes, best!

- Anything else, sir?

- Yeah.

Yes.

There's no network on my phone.

Do you have any on yours?

- Network?

- Yes.

Come.

See that coconut tree?

Yeah...

Climb it. You'll get superb 5G network.

Digital detox is good for health.

Great.

Excuse me, Sundari...

There are a lot of mosquitoes here.

You know... during World w*r II,

the British invented tonic water

to keep mosquitoes away...

Keep the windows closed in the evening.

Then how will I enjoy the view?

Then leave them open.

What if I get malaria?

Malaria mosquitoes bite only at night.

So what do I do during the day?

k*ll them.

Good entertainment.

Anything else... sir?

Nope.

Very good.

Enjoy your stay.

One last thing.

Now what?

You see I don't know the local language,

and it's tough finding

a guide around here.

- So could you...

- No.

I have a lot of other stuff to do.

Oh, my God!

Ouch!

Sorry.

Thank you.

Thank you? For what?

Kiss?

What?

Okay.

No.

Oh, your stuff.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

- Do I need to check?

- No.

I'm a nurse.

Jincy.

Hi.

And...

if you ever need a Full Body Checkup...

Come to my clinic.

Illa.

Okay. Bye.

Bye!

Come, come, come.

How can you easily go like this?

Master! Master! Master!

Move aside! Move aside!

Why does everyone here show up

in slow motion?

Good morning, sir.

Hello.

I'm Bhargavan Nair.

I'm a resident of this town

for the past 55 years.

Hi.

I haven't even been here for 55 hours.

But Hi, I'm Param.

That's why you made this mistake.

Sorry...? Mistake?

Yes.

See, we treat

our beautiful town like a temple.

And you can't walk into

a temple wearing... underwear.

Underwear?

No-no, this

is gym wear. You know 5km...

Get him covered!

You don't need to show off

your strong body to the entire town.

No, no, it's just for fitness.

When people like you turn up,

I feel like putting up a board outside:

"Tourists Not Allowed."

Stay in control.

Yes, yes.

Manassila?

No.

Understood?

Okay.

Yeah.

Hello...

Behave yourself here

or you'll face problem!

We've landed here

with all our bags and baggage...

but what's the plan, man?

You two are total opposites.

You really think you can even date her?

You're right.

That's why, before I date her,

I need her data.

You do remember

she's not on social media, right?

So what?

I've seen enough Hindi films

to know what to do.

I'll get her bio-data,

horoscope, and the works.

Really?

How?

Follow me.

If you are in love,

If you've surrendered your heart,

let them know,

Then win her folks' hearts for sure.

Only if you play nice,

You'll earn their grace,

So don't refuse terms they put in place.

Because even God, they say,

Lives in the bride's relatives these days!

Eat it, Rukmini.

Eat this.

We dove right in, head, heart, and soul,

In Sundari's love, we lost our control.

- North or South, it's all the same,

- Rukmini.

When love's the one who runs the game.

We dove right in, head, heart, and soul,

In Sundari's love, we lost our control.

So thump your chest, And stake your claim,

Tie the wedding turban, and go

Haddippa!

However great the hurdles in sight,

He will still fool lovers

with all his might.

Our hero's bold, he won't delay,

He'll ride to take his bride away.

However great the hurdles in sight,

He will still fool lovers

with all his might.

Our hero's bold, he won't delay,

He'll ride to take his bride away.

One, two, three...

Ammavan, any word from him?

When I call him, he is busy.

When he calls back, then also he is busy.

Then what did he say?

He is a big guy.

Nobody knows what he does.

Hey, open the app.

What does "Venu" mean?

Venu means God.

- Ah.

- She's quite religious, I guess.

Totally.

Malayalam song "Onnu Thottene"

from the movie Sradha.

Malayalam song "Onnu Thottene"

from the movie Sradha.

Malayalam song "Onnu Thottene"

from the movie Sradha.

- Make some tea as well.

- Param, these parathas are so good!!!

I want more, please.

Ammu?

Ammu, what's going on here?

Special breakfast!

- Come, join us.

- What?

Good morning!

Today, I'm your host.

You'll be having our breakfast today.

Serving up parathas,

piping hot, extra butter.

Chechi, these parathas slap!

Kiddo, you're supposed to eat them,

not hit them.

Aiyo... "slap" means...

Hmm... slap.

Bro, can I get another "slap" paratha?

Of course. Enjoy.

Hey-that's my favourite song!

Malayalam song "Onnu Thottene"

from the movie Sradha.

Malayalam song "Onnu Thottene"

from the movie Sradha.

Wow!

I think this song also slaps, huh?

I love music.

You know, I really think music

has no language.

It's an experience...

a feeling... an emotion!

And when Lalettan,

our superstar performs...

man, it hits different, right?

The greatest superstar in the South!

Style, swag, energy-he's got it all.

Every kid in India's a fan.

Right, Juggy?

All the Rajini fans - Thalaivaa!

Don't miss the chance - Thalaivaa!

Lungi dance, lungi dance,

lungi dance, lungi dance!

Lungi dance, lungi dance,

lungi dance, lungi dance!

Rajni sir is a Tamil superstar.

This is a Malayalam song.

Oh.

Tamil, Malayali, doesn't matter.

They're both from the "South", right?

Lungi dance, lungi dance,

lungi dance, lungi dance!

He's cooked.

SOUTH!

South Indians!

South India!

It's INDIA!

Let me break it down

in a language you understand.

Kerala - Malayalam - Mohanlal.

Tamil Nadu - Tamil - Rajinikanth.

Andhra Pradesh - Telugu - Allu Arjun.

Karnataka - Kannada - Yash.

These are different states.

They all have different stars.

For you, it's all the same, right?

Idli, dosa, sambhar, rasam,

vibhuti, lungi, "enna rascal a... mind it!"

Every South Indian is just a

"Madrasi" to you.

Just because you don't know us,

don't understand our languages,

you think YOU are better than US?

Because you can't pronounce our names,

you think it's okay to joke about them?

The truth is WE are better than YOU!

We are the land of Ayurveda.

We are the land of spices.

We invented Kalaripayattu.

We have the richest temples.

We have the highest female-to-male ratio.

We have the highest literacy rate.

And you... North Indians!

IGNORANT, ILLITERATE, ARROGANT, ENTITTLED!

YOU COCONUT!

Shameless!

Mic drop!

Bro, all that's cool,

but seriously, these names

are hard to pronounce.

Shut it.

Sundari!

Come on, just listen to me for a sec.

Sundari!

Huh?

Sundari!

Sundari!

Hey...

Hey...

What the hell are you doing up there?

What do you even want?

What do I want?

I mean, who climbs a tree like that?

Okay look, Sundari, I get that you're mad

at the guy who made the food...

But that doesn't mean

you take it out on the food.

Come down, please.

I'm not hungry.

Hey! I could get hurt, you know.

I'm really sorry.

I didn't mean to upset you.

Our cultures are so different.

And I agree,

I don't know much about this place.

But I want to learn.

You learn from your mistakes, right?

So just allow me to make some.

Why?

Because we North Indians

might be a bit naive...

but we can cook like pros.

So let go of all that anger.

Come on down and try a bite, okay?

Please?

Hey!

You're dangerous.

Like Tarzan, huh!

Tastes good, right?

Mannunni.

Sorry, who?

Idiot!

Just because you whip up tasty parathas

and flash that cute smile

doesn't mean I'm falling for it.

Oh, so you think my smile's cute, huh?

Alright then, at least tell me what this

"Mannunni" has to do to win you over?

Hmm?

Breathe in! 90 degrees! This?

This is your preparation

for the Shankaran Trophy?

It's because of losers like you that

we have consistently ranked last

in the past 5 years.

We have to host it this year.

What's this old guy doing here?

Why's he so pissed off?

For the last five years, our town's

been ranking last in the Shankaran Tro...

the local Onam competition.

Ah.

And that's why he's so upset.

Ammavan!

Sundari! Come, come.

Instead of shouting at these guys,

just call him back, please.

You know we can never win without him.

I've been after him, but you know him.

He's just so busy that...

Yeah, sounds like him.

Nice.

I can practically smell the patriotism

in your mother tongue.

Ammavan, this is Param.

Yeah, we've met.

Namaskaram, Ammavan.

I'm Ammavan, aka uncle,

but only to Sundari.

For you, I'm Mr. Bhargavan.

Okay, sir.

Ammavan,

Param actually is curious about

our culture and traditions, right?

He wants to learn more about them.

So I figured, why not kick things off

with a bit of Kalari training?

This is not child's play.

This butter chicken won't understand!

Butter chicken?

That's like our national dish!

You should've said something!

I would've made it for you!

I want to teach him a lesson.

And what better way than this place

and a whip from you?

Please.

Are you ready?

I was born ready.

It's a basic weapon, good for beginners.

Should be easier for you.

Come on, sir,

why are you handing me these childish toys?

What about this one?

Whoa!

You sure you want to use this?

Yeah, why not?

Then... you'll have to fight with Mathukutty.

Hey, I'll get hurt! What are you doing?

Fight?

Mathukutty! Get over here!

Okay.

Hey, I'll get hurt! What are you doing?

Sir, sir, sir...

Time you got a real taste

of our culture and tradition.

Param! Param! Param!

Param! Param! Param!

Okay.

Yeah.

Param! Param! Param!

Param! Param! Param!

Param! Param! Param!

Hang on, hang on, hang on!

Time out! Time out! Time out!

Come on!

This is a friendly match, alright.

Mathukutty.

Mathukutty, you're cheating!

Here you go!

Come on, Mathukutty,

is this how you plan to win

the Shankaran Trophy?

Sundari, this herbal stuff's

not going to cut it.

I need a tetanus shot for this.

Look, there's at least a 10% chance

that'll get infected.

Such a city brat!

You're such a city guy.

This is Murukutty, an ayurvedic herb.

You'll see, it'll heal that wound

in two days.

From Mathukutty we have now moved

to Murukutty.

One Kutty causes a wound,

and one cutie fixes it.

- Ouch.

- What?

Something just pricked me.

Pricked you?

Hmm.

Sorry.

You know, it takes twenty years

to master Kalari?

And you thought

you'd crack it in twenty minutes?

You were going off about

North Indians this morning,

so I had to do something to save face.

I'm feeling a bit better now.

I wanted to give you

a cultural experience.

I ended up getting

a cultural shock instead.

Sorry.

Don't think you can win me over

with that "sorry" and that cute smile.

Puttum Kadalyum?

Sorry, who?

Tomorrow's breakfast.

You made me eat parathas today.

Tomorrow, I'll feed you Puttum Kadalyum.

Where is it? Where is it?

Come on, find it!

Good morning!

- Any luck?

- Nothing yet.

What's up, guys?

Where is it?

I can't find it!

Hey, Ammu?

Her ring's missing...

the one Amma gave her.

Where did she last see it?

If we remembered that, we wouldn't

be searching here, would we? Duh!

Juggy!

Where did it go?

She took it off right here.

It's just a ring,

not like it had diamonds or anything.

It's her mom's, man, it matters.

Maybe a fish ate it.

You woke me up for this?

Here, hold this.

What?

What am I supposed to do?

What are you doing?

The poor girl's crying, man.

I've got to do something.

Then hand her a tissue!

Why are you making this your personal

issue first thing in the morning?

I was literally asleep!

Go check over there.

Come on, help me out.

Alright, I'm coming. You check ahead.

Look over there.

And if you can't find it, just forget it.

Tell me if you find it.

I'm grabbing a nap.

Found it!

Juggy...

Juggy...

Sir...

No, sorry, ma'am...

What was your name again?

Gajani?

No, Rukmini!

Ms. Rukmini!

Hello!

Param!

Juggy...

- Oi, oi, oi, you good?

- Juggy, do something, man!

What do you want me to do?!

You sure she's not going to eat you?

You foolish illiterate!

Elephants are vegetarians.

You're impossible.

Fine. I'll handle it.

I'll be right back!

No, no, no, wait!

Rukmini! Rukmini!

Hey, no!

No, don't!

Hey Rukmini! Rukmini! Woah!

Look, I'm really sorry for barging

into your bathroom like that.

Come on!

Careful!

Stop! Stop! Stop! Relax!

What song was that?

Hindi song Jiya Jale

from the movie Dil Se.

Okay, okay, Rukmini...

I know Punjabi songs too!

Those dark shades really suit you!

Juggy!

Rukmini, put him down!

Just come to Delhi, I dare you!

You come to Delhi, I'll show you!

Thank you.

Good thing you're close to Rukmini,

otherwise,

I'd be the six-feet-under kind of far.

Rukmini was just a little baby

when she first came here.

Dad and I used to bring her Sharkkara...

jaggery ba*ls every day.

We're like...

BFFs in Ammu's language.

In my language? They're known as pets.

I always wanted a dog growing up,

but that was off-limits.

So instead,

I invested in a robot pet startup.

Dogs, cats, parrots that talk,

you name it.

But robots can't really love

the way living beings do.

That's probably

why the whole thing flopped.

Dad gave me an earful for it.

Actually,

he gives lectures about everything.

It's like his favorite hobby...

lecturing me.

Were you close with your dad?

My dad was my hero.

Every time life threw a problem my way,

he'd solve it like magic.

Sometimes just hearing his voice

made everything feel okay.

He'd say,

"Lalettante paattum oru kattanum

theerkkan pattatha prashnamundo."

It means,

there is no problem a Mohanlal song

and a hot cutting chai can't fix.

Alright, sounds like a special man.

That kind of magic

wasn't around at my place.

It's always there.

You just need to know where to look.

If you see with your heart,

it shows up everywhere.

Hmm, I can see it.

Magic!

You know why they call Kerala

"God's own country?"

Because it's like nature's masterpiece.

Feels like paradise to me.

Oh, and hey, did you find a guide yet?

Ille. (Nope)

Been trying forever.

I've been in Nangu...

in this city for days

but haven't stepped out to really explore.

Tomorrow morning. Sharp. 5 AM.

Be ready.

Your guide's going to show up.

Alright!

O' beautiful stranger,

ever since I loved you true,

My heart beats to tunes anew,

O' beautiful stranger,

ever since I loved you true,

My heart beats to tunes anew,

I know you're mine, I truly do,

But how do I show this love to you?

In silent hope, I spend my days,

Please hear what heart longs to say.

O' beautiful stranger,

since the moment you came here,

I've been bound

in your love without a fear.

Beautiful stranger,

your kind words stir my soul,

Beautiful stranger, your enchanting gaze

leaves its mark upon my heart's scroll.

Your lips on me cast a magical spell,

Like monsoon's charm

that makes the peahen swell.

We were two souls from different sides,

Like boats adrift with no shore to guide.

Our journey ahead will sail so free,

If you choose to accompany me.

O' beautiful stranger,

since the moment you came here,

I've been bound in your love

without a fear.

I know you're mine, I truly do,

But how do I show this love to you?

In silent hope, I spend my days,

Please hear what heart longs to say.

When you're rowing a boat,

rhythm's everything.

If the rhythm breaks,

the boat goes out of control.

- Beautiful stranger, your enchanting gaze

- Life pretty much works the same way.

- Leaves its mark upon my heart's scroll.

- Okay.

O' beautiful stranger,

ever since I loved you true,

My heart beats to tunes anew,

Here.

Thank you.

Oh God, you should've checked that first!

Oh.

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.

Well actually, she's the one who sinned.

She thought the coat was a towel...

and wiped her hair with it.

What?

Ah.

He says He forgives you...

Thanks to my special request.

What? Seriously?

Really?

He says if you've got

any more sinful thoughts brewing,

now's your golden chance.

Perfect moment,

perfect tradition, perfect candles.

Confess your sins.

Say whatever's on your mind.

What?

Hmm.

Uh... okay.

Forgive me, Father, because...

I hate my job.

Really?

I couldn't tell at all.

Right?

But I swear, it's true.

I can't stand the home stay stuff...

hospitality,

daily cleaning, smiling non-stop.

Honestly, I like it more

when the guests leave.

Wait, that's your big sin?

Hold up.

You're in the wrong profession.

You need to do something

you actually love.

Mohiniyattam.

Sorry, who?

Exactly!!

It's a classical Indian dance form.

But these days, with reels

and remixes, real dance is forgotten.

Not by everyone, I remember...

You were dancing the first time I saw you.

And trust me, your moves were totally

"Mohini"... mesmerizing.

Show me now.

- Huh?

- Yeah, right now. Come on.

- Come.

- No way. Here?

- Are you crazy?

- Come.

There's no music!

And how can I dance in a church?

- A good dancer doesn't need music.

- No, I...

Come on.

I'm a professional dancer.

That's pretty obvious.

I studied Mohiniyattam

at Kerala Kalamandalam.

Beautiful.

I even had my own studio back then.

Okay?

Ammayum-Achanum...

- Okay...

- I mean my Mom-Dad...

they were very proud of me.

Then...

Then?

They met with an accident.

Sorry.

After that, I couldn't keep

the studio running-it just wasn't enough.

So, on my Ammavan's advice,

I turned our house into a home stay.

What?

God says He's impressed.

But really, took such a big step

just because that old man told you to?

Sorry I mean, Uncle.

I always talk to Ammavan

before making big decisions.

That's kind of the issue.

I mean, look at it from a valuation angle.

Sell the house, cash out and invest it.

That house isn't just property to me.

You can't stick a price tag on emotions.

Ugh, this whole

"principles and emotions" thing.

My logic's simple.

Freedom comes first.

The tighter you hold on,

the scarier it is to let go.

Live free.

Hey, hey, hey!

Way too much seriousness creeping in.

So now you...

Check out my "Mohini" moves!

What the hell are you doing?

Just follow me.

Honestly, I was expecting

some naughty confessions.

You know, like "never have I ever."

Ever done anything risqu?

Ew. Gross.

Okay fine, don't say if you don't want to.

Well... once. College staff room.

Just a kiss.

That's my girl! Total femme fatale.

Alright, your turn,

ever done any naughty stuff?

Yep!

In a tennis court, in Burj Khalifa

s balcony, in a car, washroom...

Okay, okay, I get the picture!

You're quite a player.

You really know how to work your magic.

Really? Is it working on you?

I'm not going to fall for that.

Fall.

For I'll be there to catch you.

What happened?

My brain feels like an empty coconut,

and my heart's dancing like

it's drunk on toddy.

Sundari, I too have a confession to make.

One second.

Hello?

Hi, sir. Hi.

I've been trying to reach you, but...

The network here's been terrible.

Alright, go ahead.

Sir, basically, I needed some clarity.

You've been in Kerala for two weeks now.

Meanwhile, a few other investors

have started showing interest.

So, I just needed an answer soon, sir.

If you could just send

some kind of advance...

Or, if you're losing interest,

I can try raising funds elsewhere.

Come on, boss, no one's more invested

in this app than I am.

We're doing this, bro.

You want an advance, right?

I'll send it over.

Great, sir. Great. Thank you.

Okay.

Confession.

Confession... time.

Beautiful.

Hmm?

Kerala's quite beautiful.

Thank you for being my guide.

I'll see you at home.

Uh... okay. Bye.

What are you doing?

You making this for Onam or me?

- Juggy?

- For you.

What has this place done to you?

Nangiarkulangara has made me

find my true self.

It's like I can talk to my own soul now.

This is the place where I really belong.

Juggy? You okay, Juggy?

Don't call me, Juggy. I'm Jagannathan.

Namaskaram.

Your name's Jagdeep Bedi,

you live in Delhi, Greater Kailash 2.

How did your accent just switch like that?

And since when do you speak

Malayalam like a local?

The best way to learn a new language

is to take on a lover who speaks it.

Talk in Hindi, English or Punjabi!

Bro, you always end up falling in love

with the language of the one you love.

Like me, I'm in love with Parvathy.

Who's Parvathy?

Paro... Parvathy. Come.

My Premam (Love).

We're together.

My best friend from Delhi... Param.

Namaskaram!

Namaskaram!

Wow.

I just asked you to get out

of your comfort zone,

but looks like you made

yourself "very" comfortable.

What do I even say now?

Can we talk shop for a sec?

Excuse us.

Baby, just one minute.

One minute.

Juggy, Shekhar gave me an ultimatum.

We need to send an advance

and lock the deal,

or we're going to lose the app.

But your dad won't give you

the money until...

We'll talk to him later.

Right now, I'll sell some stocks,

bonds, even crypto if I have to,

and get it done.

I'm sure it's going bring in a windfall.

It's going to shake up the whole industry.

You'll see.

That confident, huh?

Things going smooth with Sundari or what?

Oh yeah.

The vibes, the frequency,

everything's a perfect match.

Soulmate!

I finally get it.

Never felt like this before.

This app bloody works!

So you're in "premam" too now, huh?

Finally!

Yes, bro.

My fingers were tired of

all that swiping rights.

It's time to uninstall every other app.

You seriously don't know the difference

between a dhoti and a Mundu?

Help?

Beautiful stranger,

your kind words stir my soul,

Beautiful stranger, your enchanting gaze

leaves its mark upon my heart's scroll.

You look nice.

One second.

Now I look nice.

Chechi!

Let's go.

One moment.

Shall we?

Yeah.

O' beautiful stranger,

When?!

Bro, seriously, when are you going

to tell her how you feel?

Now.

Go.

All the best.

Sundari!

Sundari! Sundari!

Sundari!

Sundari, there's something really

important I've been meaning to say.

What?

Sundari, I...

Excuse me, guys.

We need to talk.

He will still fool lovers

with all his might.

Our hero's bold, he won't delay,

He'll ride to take his bride away.

Ammavan! Venu is here.

You didn't tell me that Venu is coming?

Venu asked me not to tell you.

He wanted it to be a surprise.

Let's go.

Watch your step!

Venu!

Come here.

Ammu, what's he saying?

You've spent your whole childhood

playing house in this place.

This was your parents' wish.

Chechi and Venu are tying the knot...

in just ten days.

On the last day of Onam.

They're getting hitched

on Thiruvonam itself.

He will still fool lovers

with all his might.

Our hero's bold, he won't delay,

I'm totally screwed!

He'll ride to take his bride away.

Param, let's go have Sadya (feast).

Nah, I'm full with

Hey Ammu... come here, please.

Who is this man?

What exactly is he?

And why?

Okay.

Venu Chettan aka Venu Gopal Bhargavan.

Ammavan's son.

A champion golden boy since day one.

Top of the game in sports,

Studies,

Dance,

Kalari.

He even won the Shankaran Trophy.

And now, looks like he's winning

the race to marriage too.

Honestly, even as kids,

they looked like a married couple.

Then Venu left to study medicine abroad,

and Chechi went off to Mumbai for arts.

Their long-distance

thing slowly fizzled out.

They still talked now and then,

but the spark? Totally gone.

Okay, then what happened?

Chechi threw herself into Mohiniyattam,

and she was she was seriously too good.

Everyone thought she'd go pro...

and make Kerala proud.

Until 15th March...

the shittiest day of our lives.

After Amma and Achan sudden death,

everything fell on her.

She was so busy running the house

and looking after guests,

she stopped looking after herself.

She got so caught up

with all the housework,

there was just no time left

for anything else.

She seemed really lonely and sad too.

So I thought,

maybe I should help her find love.

I went all in, made her a profile

on every dating app.

So you are the one

who created Sundari's account?

Yes.

But the moment she found out?

She deleted everything.

I just wanted to see her happy again.

But it was like happiness

itself gave her an allergy.

Param... where are you off to?

To congratulate her.

Bro, you just got served

Hey, I meant the food!

You broke a heart today.

I mean you broke their hearts today.

Look at those poor Mallu Majnus.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

So... Venu Gopalan, right?

You never mentioned him before.

Didn't even drop his name at the church.

You're sneaky.

Actually, our parents fixed

the wedding when we were kids.

I'm just...

surprised it's all happening so suddenly.

Is that how weddings usually

get fixed around here?

Hey-it's your wedding.

Shouldn't it be your call?

No, no, I mean, I'm not familiar

with the traditions here,

that's why I'm asking.

Look, Venu and I have been

best friends since forever.

He was my schoolmate,

Study-mate,

Kalari-mate...

So now he's your soulmate too?

I need more rice.

So is this what you want?

It's what Amma and Achan wanted.

And after they were gone, the people

who stood by me, they want this too.

And for me, that's enough.

If they all believe Venu's the one,

then I believe it too.

You still haven't answered my question.

Oi...

Venu.

Why is your mood so off?

Is everything okay?

All good.

Distracted? Disturbed?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

You didn't even notice, did you?

I'll do it.

Look, Sundari, I didn't know

about the wedding either.

But honestly, I personally don't think

it's such a bad idea.

It's funny, right?

Something we used to laugh

about as kids is suddenly real.

And yeah, I know I've just

been upgraded to being your fianc...

but come on, we were always best friends.

You're happy with this, right?

Of course.

Come on, let's go.

Juggy, how the hell did

this virus land in our app?

Having banana chips won't fix it.

We need to act, bro.

What if we kidnap her?

Got any better genius plans?

If we lose the girl, we lose the app.

And don't forget,

we also lose the advance we paid.

Try to get that through your head.

Alright, do one thing, call Shekhar.

Give me the phone.

Hey!

Hi, Shekhar.

A quick technical question...

What if my soulmate already

has a soulmate?

Like, say, her childhood friend?

So then... is she mine or his?

I mean, if my soulmate is also his

soulmate, and he thinks she is his soulmate,

but she doesn't even know

I'm her soulmate...

and the one she thinks is her soulmate

just assumes they're soulmates,

then clearly, her soulmate

can't be my soulmate, right?

So where the hell is my soulmate

in all this soulmate mess?

Sir, soul connections isn't like Wi-Fi.

You don't just type a password

and get connected.

I'll need to go into full deep dive mode

to explain this.

Bro, we don't want to swim

through philosophy.

- Keep it simple, on land, and fast.

- Yeah.

So, sir, basically, chemistry

can happen with lots of people.

You can fall in love more than once too.

But in this whole universe,

you only get one true soulmate.

And if that person ends up

with someone else,

neither of you

will ever feel truly complete.

Got it?

I'll have to make Sundari realise

that I am her soulmate.

If I want her heart,

I've got to win over this town first.

Cool, but... how exactly

are you planning to pull that off?

Good question.

Boys!

From tomorrow,

no, from now on,

no drinking, no party,

focus only on the trophy.

This Onam,

we must win the Shankaran Trophy.

Namukku Jayiche Pattu! (We Must Win!)

Namukku Jayiche Pattu!

Namukku Jayiche Pattu!

Namukku Jayiche Pattu!

Namukku Jayiche Pattu!

Namukku Jayiche Pattu!

Namukku Jayiche Pattu!

Namukku Jayiche Pattu!

This is it? They're kids' games.

Yeah, let's go sign ourselves up.

Where's the old guy?

Right over there.

Let's go.

Why do you want to participate, huh?

Because I see this city as mine,

but nobody here sees me that way.

That's why I want to prove

myself through this competition.

Give him one chance, Ammavan. Please.

Ammu.

Ammu, this is our competition.

Guests aren't allowed to take part

in the Shankaran Trophy.

Only locals and relatives.

Rules are rules.

Let's go.

IDEA!!!

Ask Ammu to tie you a Rakhi.

That way, you'll become family!

But if she ties me a Rakhi,

that makes her my...

Sister.

And her older sister becomes my...?

Damn it...

Yeah, that's not going to work.

- What do we do?

- Come, let's go.

Let's go.

Sister.

Put your name down.

Yes!

Namukku Jayiche Pattu, sir!

Yeah, I've been learning Malayalam.

Hi.

I'm here.

I'm P. Potti.

AKA Pavithran Potti.

From Champakkulam.

Potty?

Best of luck.

Okay.

He may be small, but he's very sly.

Be careful around him.

Venu! Venu! Venu!

Venu! Venu! Venu!

Venu! Venu! Venu!

Venu! Venu!

Venu! Venu! Venu!

Venu! Venu!

Param! Param!

Go Param!

Come on, go Param!

Param!

Param! Param! Param!

Param! Param! Param!

Param!

Come on, Param!

This is how every team was laughing at us!

Champakullam, Kayamkullam,

Thamarakullam, Krishnapuram, Pandalam!

All because of you!

Because of your stupidity Venu also lost.

Really sorry, sir.

Actually, I got a little...

Distracted?

You're a guest, so act like one.

Watch all you want, take pics, make reels,

but no participating! Understand?

Yes, sir.

Everyone leave!

Let's go.

Let's go.

I feel you, bro.

It's okay. Better luck next time.

Hi.

Hi.

You did great today.

What's the point?

I ended up making a fool

of the whole Nagarjuna town.

Do you even know what's going

on over there?

Hmm.

Onam, right?

It's some god's birthday or something?

Not a god. A demon.

Mahabali.

They say even though he was a demon,

his people adored him.

He was very popular.

Hmm?

But Indra, the rain and thunder god,

didn't like that one bit.

So he went to Lord Vishnu, like,

"Put that demon in his place."

And Lord Vishnu said, "Okay."

So he shows up as a little kid and asks

Mahabali for just three steps of land.

But then the kid turns massive.

He takes the whole earth in one step,

the whole sky in the second.

And he still had one step left.

Mahabali, being a man of his word,

bowed down and offered his head

for the third.

Vishnu placed his foot on his head

and sent him to the underworld.

Interesting story.

It's not just some story. It's a legend.

They all carry a message, get it?

So you're saying I've got an ego.

And that old guy wants to crush me

under his foot and kick me out.

Yes.

Thanks.

On this day, people remember Mahabali

and celebrate in his name.

Because he always put others first.

Even though he lost,

he won everyone's hearts.

Kind of like you.

Yeah.

So basically... I'm Baazigar.

What?

"Those who lose, but still win,

are called Baazigar."

You seriously haven't seen that movie?

It was dubbed in Malayalam too, right?

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Love's never born

of what's planned carefully.

Beyond your love there's nothing I seek,

It's that kind of 'mistake'

that makes life sweet.

Only in love can it ever be found,

One soul in two bodies, forever bound.

When pain strikes one,

And the other is undone.

Love's story stands apart

from the world's lore,

Even in defeat, it will fight once more.

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Love's never born

of what's planned carefully.

Love is an illusory emotional state.

The elixir of life for a suffering heart.

To feel the taste of it,

you have to fight

with the sharp tip of love,

cos this is like a w*r.

The heart is fully covered

by unknown golden clouds of love,

Which will pour down in this song

And in a thousand dreams,

the soul shall wake up

From my world to yours,

The road is long, you see,

But my heart knows well,

Wherever you are is home to me.

It is home to me.

Hearts come together in a single flow,

You may not trust it, but I know.

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Love's never born

of what's planned carefully.

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Love's never born

of what's planned carefully.

Love is an illusory emotional state.

The elixir of life for a suffering heart.

To feel the taste of it, you have to fight

with the sharp tip of love,

cos this is like a w*r.

Sundari, I've got some toddy

if you're feeling jittery.

Param!

This is the one place

where I don't feel nervous at all.

I kind of lose myself in the daily hustle.

But when I'm on stage, doing Mohiniyattam,

I feel like me again.

Everything just clicks.

Hey!

Hi!

Hi!

You got this, okay? Good luck.

All the best.

Oh gorgeous,

with flower worn beautiful hair

Your incomparable feet movements

Softly give life to,

Everything

Now, the whole universe

will become with in you.

Thank you.

Sundari!

You looked like an actual "Mohini"

up there.

- Those moves were magic!

- Thank you.

I couldn't take my eyes off you.

Hey!

Let's go, Param!

Hey...

Mohini,

Hey Mohini, where you off to?

Take cover, Param.

Come on.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight,

nine, ten, eleven, thirteen,

- I keep counting days, waiting,

- Param!

Come back, my love,

spring's already green.

Param!

- Come on, Sundari, dance in the rain.

- Come here.

Param!

Param!

Look, I know what you're trying to do...

and why.

Don't.

Why not?

I thought you're not going to fall

for this.

Sundari, what are you doing?

Let's go! Come, come.

Sundari...

what were you doing?

Well, Param...

Just vibe with it, Venu.

Huh?

Drop me home, too?

We stay at the same place.

Yeah.

Okay, let's go.

Hi, Dad.

You've only got three days left, son.

So, when are you finally introducing me

to your soulmate?

Soon, Dad. Just keep the funds ready.

I've actually got a cabin ready

for you instead.

Bajaj's retiring next week,

you can take over his spot.

No need, Dad.

I found my soulmate through this app.

Wait, you actually found her?

Hey, looks like I'm going

to be a father-in-law.

Congratulations, sir. Big congratulations.

Thank you.

Since you didn't believe me,

I put in some of my own money too.

What?

Sir, does that mean you're about

to become a grandpa too?

Got engaged today

and baby's already on the way?

Shut it.

What nonsense?

Your own money?

That money is also my money!

Have you ever earned even

a single rupee yourself?

Who told you to invest it without asking?

I'm old enough to make my own choices.

If I'd stopped to ask you,

I would've missed a million-buck deal.

This habit of yours

will put us out on the streets.

And you might even blow Bajaj's pension.

Hang on, just give me the address.

I'll use some muscle

to get the money back.

Dad, please, don't mess up the deal.

I'm heading out. Bye.

Param...

Yeah, Sundari?

You're coming

to my engagement party, right?

Of course.

You cannot possibly get engaged

without me.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Param...

Come.

It's so good to see you here, buddy.

I'm not your buddy.

You're my bro.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Sorry, I'm a tad nervous.

Nervous? Why?

I've got to dance.

Don't worry, your bro's got you covered.

- Wait here, I'll be right back.

- We all look danger, true and dire.

In sari red as fire,

We all look danger, true and dire.

b*ll*ts flew, and daggers too,

The whole town's girls were jealous of you.

b*ll*ts flew, and daggers too,

The whole town's girls were jealous of you.

Even the weather's moods

are under your control, my dove,

It's December, but with your touch,

I'm burning up with love.

I'm burning up with love.

In that sari red as fire,

Girl, you're danger, true and dire.

In that sari red as fire,

Girl, you're danger, true and dire.

The oomph you carry in your sway,

Makes all the boys just melt away.

In that sari red as fire,

Girl, you're danger, true and dire.

In that sari red as fire,

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

The shade you wear, it tells your mood,

In sari red as fire,

The shade you wear, it tells your mood,

You're sweet and charming in blue,

In black, you're rude.

In white, you look like

a Yash Chopra's Chandni too,

In grey, Fifty Shades' attitude.

But there's only one shade in which

you look like a blade untamed and inspired,

You look like a blade untamed

and inspired,

In sari red as fire,

We all look danger, true and dire.

In that sari red as fire,

Girl, you're danger, true and dire.

The oomph you carry in your sway,

Makes all the boys just melt away.

In that sari red as fire,

Girl, you're danger, true and dire.

In that sari red as fire,

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

- Juggy...

- Catch him!

Hey Kennedy!

Kennedy! Kennedy!

- You okay or no?

- Kennedy!

We need to get him to a hospital.

Jincy, what about your clinic?

If we drive there, it'll take too long.

sh*t.

But I know a shortcut.

Come fast.

Come fast.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

Achan! Achan!

Hot as hell and dangerous as well.

- Sir! Sir! Sir!

- Ammavan!

Oh no!

I'm feeling sick.

I will take my revenge...

While rowing a boat, rhythm's everything.

If the rhythm breaks,

the boat goes out of control.

Wow, so beautiful!

While rowing a boat, rhythm's everything.

If the rhythm breaks,

the boat goes out of control.

Life pretty much works the same way.

My hero!

- I'll get him for this!

- Kennedy...

- He will get what he deserves!

- Kennedy...

- If he doesn't,

- Kennedy...

I'll change my name.

Take the pants off.

- Huh?

- Sorry?

Mundu.

Oh.

Super strong painkiller.

And now... Kennedy's out.

Are you hurt as well?

No, I'm fit and fine.

Okay.

Strong arms.

Six packs.

Full AI generated body.

Thanks.

Your heart is going

"dhak-dhak."

Yeah.

My heart is also

"dhak-dhak."

Then why you wasting

time doing "bak-bak?"

What?

My clinic.

Let me do a full body checkup, please?

No.

Relax, no one's coming here.

Param...

Sundari!

Sorry, sorry, sorry...

- Sundari! Sundari!

- I should've knocked, sorry.

Sundari!

It's exactly what you're thinking

But only from her side

Then carry on,

why are you running after me?

Hey, one second, one second.

You seriously want me to go back to her?

Do whatever you want, I don't care.

Venu was looking for you,

so I came to get you.

Oh, Venu's looking for me?

Is he your fianc or mine?

What happened?

Nothing, bro.

Tell me something,

do you guys just call anyone "bro"?

Param, I'm a simple guy.

You said "you're my brother"

and I believed it.

No man, you are my brother.

Really?

- Yeah

- Look, I get it, okay?

Sundari's the kind of girl half

the city's crazy about.

Does that include you?

No way, man, what are you talking about?

It's not like that, you...

Alright, then you'll have to make up

for what you did today.

How?

You're going to row the boat

with me in the finals.

Me? In a boat race? Why?

That drunk guy got hurt because of you.

You're taking his spot.

Achan, Param's rowing

in the finals with us.

You're not a guest anymore.

You're family now.

Welcome.

- What are you doing?

- What?

I just can't figure out

which one's better.

Oh... I get it.

On one side you've got Venu...

smart, good looking

perfect in every way.

Aalu super a! (He's superb!)

Yeah.

Then there's Param.

Thala thunnum. (Bothersome!)

Annoying and irritating.

Yeah.

You're talking rubbish.

I'm not, and you know it.

Do you think Jincy and Param are...?

There's something going

on between them, right?

I mean there could be, but I don't care.

You can lie to yourself but not to me.

Your face says you're dying

to turn that nurse into a patient.

Chillax, Chechi.

Just say what you feel.

#unfiltered.

Why overthink?

Tell me.

Come on, Chechi, spill it.

What do you want me to say, huh?

That I want to break Amma

and Achan's promise?

That I want to go against

what everyone decided?

And Venu?

What about him?

Should I just break his heart?

All for someone I barely even know?

I just...

I just know that ever since

he came into my life,

I only want to be around him.

With Venu, everything feels familiar.

Safe.

With Param, everything feels new.

Even normal everyday life feels exciting.

There's peace with Venu and...

passion with Param.

Ugh, what am I say?

I sound so stupid.

How can I be so selfish, Ammu?

Chechi...

You've always tried

to keep everyone else happy.

But that only works if you're happy first.

I know how much you've sacrificed.

But NEWSFLASH!

It's not wrong to choose your happiness.

YOLO, Chechi!

You Only Live Once!

Hi, Param!

Oh!

Okay.

Okay.

Dad?!

I can't tell you how proud I am right now.

Hats off to you, Param.

You proved your father wrong.

Your app works, you found your soulmate,

and I got a daughter-in-law.

What more could a father want?

Well, what are you waiting for?

Come take my blessings at least.

Go on.

Come here. Come here.

- Dad! What are you doing?

- Uncle!

If I'd smacked you like this as a kid,

- I wouldn't be dealing with this mess today.

- Don't hit him, Uncle!

You useless, good-for-nothing fool.

You can hit me, but you can't curse me.

Oh, should I give you

a Nobel Prize instead?

Your app guy is a fraud.

Not a businessman,

he's a CON-MAN. A bloody con-man!

Come on, Dad, how can you say that?

- I'll call him right now.

- Yeah.

- Go ahead, call him.

- Here you go.

How could he be a fraud?

- Yeah, right.

- Here this.

'The number you are trying

to reach does not exist. '

WhatsApp.

Yeah...

The guy's vanished.

His whole family's vanished.

And my money's gone with them.

Wait a second.

No, no, no... this can't be happening.

It's useless now.

He scammed you and ran.

You've not got an iota of a brain cell, and

you wanted to build a billion-dollar company?

One second, Dad... let me think.

Now you want to think, you idiot?

Uncle...

Param, you've crossed every line today.

Blinded by money and fake success,

you toyed with this poor girl's feelings

just to defend some worthless app.

You were already good for nothing,

but today you stooped

to being a cheat as well.

You've proven that

wasting money is the only talent you have.

You're only crying about the money?

My whole life's been flipped upside down.

I just don't get it.

If this app's a scam, then

what about my feelings for Sundari?

True love? Soulmates?

Is all that a scam too?

Brilliant. Just brilliant.

If the app says she's your soulmate,

then she's your soulmate.

If there is no app,

then it's just checkmate?

You're confused,

and now you're confusing her too.

Your drama is about to destroy three lives.

You're coming back with me.

Come on, pack your bags.

But before you leave,

you're telling her the truth.

What truth?

Hello, I'm Param's father.

Sundari.

Hey, hey, hey...

Namaskaram.

What are you doing?

In our culture,

daughters don't touch their elders' feet.

Well, in our culture, we do.

Bless you with a long life.

Look at that,

she's won my heart in one meeting.

Param, you said you

had something to tell Sundari.

I wanted to talk to you too.

Yes.

- Go.

- Sundari...

Let's talk in private.

You're looking really beautiful

in that sari.

Thanks.

Look, Sundari,

I didn't come here as a tourist

or to learn about your culture.

I'm an investor.

And I recently invested in a dating app.

According to the app's data, you...

You're my soulmate.

It even gave me the location

of this place.

I've started many businesses,

but every single one failed.

That's why I wanted to prove to my dad

that this app could change the world.

It was the only way

he'd invest in my business.

But I've just realised

that the app is fake.

Its data and algorithm

are a complete scam.

I even invested my own money in it.

But when I met you,

I truly felt you were my soulmate.

- And after the days we spent together...

- Enough.

Are you done with your little experiment?

Thank you for staying with us.

You can please leave.

I'm sorry, Sundari.

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Come on Juggy, pack your bags.

You should really rethink your decision.

I've already made up my mind, man.

Damn it.

Look, bro,

I don't know if you trust your feelings,

but I trust mine.

Parvathy's my soulmate,

and I'm not leaving her.

I love her.

Juggy?

I'm sorry, man,

but you've got to deal

with this crap on your own.

Sorry.

Easy, easy... careful with it.

Okay.

Param!

Param!

Param!

Good, you're here.

We were just heading to Sundari's place.

Come on, let's go.

Come.

Wait, where are you going?

Sorry, guys, something urgent's come up.

I have to leave.

What?!

Hey, tomorrow's the Shankaran

Trophy finals. You can't just leave.

No, guys, I really have to go.

My dad's here to take me.

- Dad?

- Dad?

Acche! (Father)

He's Param's father his "Acche."

- Achan!

- Father!

- Bless me!

- Father!

Let's drink!

I don't drink! I don't drink!

I don't drink!

I don't drink! I don't drink!

Hey! Father...

Hold on!

Thank you, sir.

Namaste, Uncle.

- Namaste.

- I'm Venu Nair.

I'm Parmeet.

Uncle, we really need Param

to race tomorrow.

Race?

Yes, please understand.

Understood. Understood.

Son, you have a race tomorrow?

Why didn't you tell me?

Which car will you be driving?

Not a car, a boat.

A boat?

Walk with me.

Son, since childhood

you've done nothing but drown me,

and now you want

to keep their boat afloat?

Punjabis never back down from a challenge!

Your city is now our city!

Your race is now our race!

Your trophy is now our trophy!

My son will help you win!

What are you doing, Dad?

You really want to mess with these guys?

I came here to break your legs, not mine.

You just row the damn boat,

win the trophy, and then we'll leave.

What happened?

Nothing, son.

Go for it!

Let's do this!

Let's do this! Let's do this!

Let's do this!

Our love was never meant

for forever's sake,

Our fleeting love was always a mistake,

Everything between us turned

out to be fake.

Our love was never meant

for forever's sake,

Our fleeting love was always a mistake,

Everything between us turned

out to be fake.

It parted now to yours and mine,

What once was ours, divine.

Our fleeting love was always a mistake,

Everything between us turned

out to be fake.

Tears keep falling, night and day,

Tears keep falling, night and day,

Oh God, keep this pain at bay for all,

I pray.

Tears keep falling, night and day,

Tears keep falling, night and day,

Oh God, keep this pain at bay for all,

I pray.

We were so thirty, you and I,

For a single drop of love burning bright,

I trusted blindly through day and night.

My eyes once wove dreams all around you,

That was their only task to do,

But now they stand as foes

to my sleep, too.

The night's darkness now laughs

and makes me ache,

Our fleeting love was always a mistake,

Everything between us turned

out to be fake.

It parted now to yours and mine,

What once was ours, divine.

Our fleeting love was always a mistake,

Everything between us turned

out to be fake.

Tears keep falling, night and day,

Tears keep falling, night and day,

Tears keep falling, night and day,

Tears keep falling, night and day,

Oh God, keep this pain at bay for all,

I pray.

And they're off!

The chundan vallams leap forward,

oars crashing into

the water like w*r drums!

Champakullam explodes off the start...

look at that rhythm,

those paddlers are in perfect sync.

Krishnapuram and Padalam right behind,

pushing hard,

We need to catch up, Param,

or we will lose!

But oh no...

Nangiarkulangara is struggling!

Go!

I think they're out of the competition

- Go! - Come on!

- Before the race even begins.

- Faster! Faster!

- Go!

This heart is crazy

Crazy is this heart,

This crazy one... ahh

Has also made me... ahh!

Crazy!

Why the hell are you singing?

Row faster!

I left her city

I broke my heart in her lane

But still this heart beats in me!

This heart!

I removed her from my heart,

I did what I wasn't supposed to do,

But still my heart remembers her.

This heart!

This heart is crazy

Crazy is this heart,

- Go faster!

- Faster! Faster! Faster!

Love is an illusory emotional state.

The elixir of life for a suffering heart.

To feel the taste of it,

you have to fight

with the sharp tip of love,

cos this is like a w*r.

The heart is fully covered

by unknown golden clouds of love,

Which will pour down in this song

And in a thousand dreams,

the soul shall wake up

They've done it! Nangiarkulangara...

champions!

What a comeback!

History has been created!!!

It parted now to yours and mine,

What once was ours, divine.

Our fleeting love was always a mistake,

Everything between us turned

out to be fake.

Tears keep falling, night and day,

Missing her, huh?

Liar.

I can totally tell.

I'm your dad.

Come on, don't sulk like that.

You gave up on your love.

- I gave it up?

- Yeah.

You're the one who said not

to mess up three lives.

Yeah, and I was right.

Since when do you even listen to me?

You never take my advice

when it comes to business.

It's your feelings, your love...

who should decide, me or you?

Wow, you really flip sides fast.

I flip sides?

If I agree with you, it's a problem.

If I don't agree with you, it's a problem.

You've totally confused me.

I've confused you?

Listen, duffer,

it's not your phone that picks

your soulmate, it's your soul.

You're right, Dad.

I've realised the truth...

But it's too late now.

Come on, let's go.

Son...

The truth isn't something

you just understand,

it's something you feel.

Your generation's stopped trusting

your own feelings.

Don't make that mistake.

Once you're on that plane,

you won't get off until she's married.

Fate brought you the right girl

through the wrong app.

So listen to your heart,

or you'll regret it forever.

So... I should go?

You're still asking...? Run!

Love you.

Love you too.

Love is an illusory emotional state.

The elixir of life for a suffering heart.

To feel the taste of it,

you have to fight

with the sharp tip of love,

cos this is like a w*r.

Love is an illusory emotional state.

The elixir of life for a suffering heart.

To feel the taste of it, you have to fight

with the sharp tip of love,

cos this is like a w*r.

Please... don't delete that photo.

Param!

What the hell are you doing?

I came to tell you

my perspective's changed.

Oh yeah? How?

By climbing this tree?

Did your app send you a notification?

Not the app. My heart.

This is the first time

I'm actually listening to my heart.

You should listen to yours too.

When I listened to mine, you broke it.

You're disgusting.

You used me for your own gain.

You played with everyone's emotions.

Do you have no shame?

And now you're just dangling there

on that tree.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry, Sundari.

I've made more mistakes

than I can even count.

Your anger's justified.

If you want, we could start over.

We could tell everyone how we met and...

"We"? Seriously?

There is no "we".

We... are too different.

Our worlds, our thinking,

everything's different.

And still...

I want to be with you, Sundari.

You're my Mohiniyattam.

You make me feel the same

way you feel when you dance.

Param... I'm getting married today.

Sundari, you've completely changed me.

I used to live by data,

algorithms, numbers.

I never knew what love really was.

This digital world connected us

to everyone,

but it pulled us farther away

from ourselves.

Tears keep falling, night and day,

You helped me find my real self.

I don't care what the data

or the apps say.

I'm not scared of committing...

I'm scared of living without you.

I love you so much, Sundari.

Tears keep falling, night and day,

I love you.

I really love you.

Oh God, keep this pain at bay for all,

I pray.

What's going on?

Damn it.

I worked so hard to set up that moment.

Uncle, Param's telling me

I'm his Mohiniyattam

and wants to know if he's mine too.

I don't understand such complicated Hindi.

No, I said way more than that.

Actually, let me explain the logic.

Come here.

Oh, so now a monkey hanging

from a tree is going to teach me logic?

Today's her wedding

and you're here to run off

with her through the balcony?

No. I'm here to take her

with me after winning her heart

and getting your blessings.

Let me give you my blessings in my style.

Aayo, Ammavan!

- Ammavan!

- Hey, what are you doing?

Grab him!

Grab him!

Hit him!

Hit him!

Stop stuffing your face

with sweets and give us a hand!

Of course I'll help, son,

but I'll help them, not you!

Juggy!

I'll take care of them, you take care

of the cl*max of your love story.

- Love you, Juggy!

- Hey!

Get him! Get him! Get him!

In Sundari's love

Get him!

Hey!

Greetings.

How's it going?

Go, find him!

I'll k*ll him!

Namaste.

In Sundari's love

SUNDARI!!

After all this chaos, you're still here?

Sundari,

you still haven't given me an answer.

Answer to what?

I've never met anyone

more clueless than you.

You came all the way here

just because some app told you to?

Hey, you're doing

the exact same thing I did.

You're marrying Venu

because other people want you to.

Who are you to lecture me about morals?

You've been treating everyone like

some science experiment...

Sundari! Sundari! Sundari!

Please, look into my eyes

and tell me who you see.

I'm sure you'll see yourself.

Param, if I'm standing in front of you,

obviously I'll see you.

Okay, then close your eyes for a second.

I'm not closing my eyes.

Please, just do it.

Now tell me, who do you see?

VENU!

No, no, look at me.

Do bad timings run in your family?

Look, Venu, you're my brother.

A good, honest brother.

But Sundari can't be my sister-in-law.

Param, you better run or they'll k*ll you.

Go, get him!

Even Ranjha died for his Heer.

But even Heer also died along with him,

Mannunni (idiot)!

Ah! So you admit you're my Heer?

Param...

Your villagers have completely lost it.

They'll use the Urumi (whip) turn

you into Unniyappam (sweet dish)!

Please, just run!

Hey, hey!

Hey! Hey!

Sundari, I'm leaving this place...

Hey, how do you say "wife"

in Malayalam?

Wife? Bharya.

I'm not leaving Kerala until

I make you my Bharya.

Pull him back!

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Venu, I don't know...

Before you say anything,

please just hear me out.

I love you.

I always have, you know.

But it's your wedding,

so the choice should be yours.

Not Ammavan's, not the people's...

not even mine.

Just yours.

Why are you telling me this?

Because you've never argued

with me like that.

And what is love

without a little lovers spat?

Bring him down!

Hold on, wait a second.

Let me go first.

Alright.

Go get him!

Get him!

Get him!

Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm

I can see the pain in your eyes

Now your voice is enough!

Sorry, sorry aunty!

Sorry, sorry, forgive me.

Get him!

Seriously, Rukmini? You too?!!

Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm

- Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm

- Wait a second, wait a second, buddy.

Time out! Time out!

Wait, buddy!

Have you guys gone crazy?

Wait! Wait! Chetta! (Elder brother)

Wait! Chetta!

Wait! Wait! Chetta!

I'm Chetta, you are Chetta.

Chetta!

You all and I together

we won the trophy, Chetta!

Wait! Wait, okay? Wait!

Come on, Chetta!

Yeah, come on!

To hell with you.

Rhythm, rhythm, rhythm

I can see the pain in your eyes

Now your voice is enough!

Param!

Param!

Param!

Hey!

Come on!

You too jump!

Move aside!

Anna! Anna! Move aside!

Sundari!

What are you doing? You'll drown!

Sundari!

Our love won't let me drown.

Param!

You are so filmy.

The whole town of Nangiarkulangara

is chasing me and you're laughing?

Anyway, I've got an idea to stop them.

Ever done anything naughty on a boat?

No.

I have.

When?

Right now.

What happened?

My brain's gone totally coconut,

and now my heart's dancing like

it's drunk on toddy.

Go for it!

Well done!

O' beautiful stranger,

ever since I loved you true,

My heart beats to tunes anew,

My darling, you are rogue,

You have a weary soul,

Your intentions aren't good I'm told.

My drenched body and attire,

Each look you give sets me on fire,

Your eyes cut deep with a blade of desire.

In your wet and clinging sari,

Your youth ignites,

Like water embracing a flame at night.

When drops

from your damp tresses fell on me,

Storms awakened in me endlessly.

In your wet and clinging sari,

Your youth ignites,

Like water embracing a flame at night.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

The moment you touched me, my love,

Raindrops of monsoon turned

into wine above.

When you came close, so dangerously near,

Even my heart's intentions

lost their veneer.

To pull my veil this way, you tease,

You play wicked games you with such ease.

These little moves, they weave your spell,

Your magic binds me all too well.

In my wet and clinging sari,

My youth ignites,

Like water embracing a flame at night.

Hold me close so our hearts can convene,

Look into my eyes, my beautiful queen.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Love's never born

of what's planned carefully.

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Love's never born

of what's planned carefully.

Beyond your love there's nothing I seek,

It's that kind of 'mistake'

that makes life sweet.

Only in love can it ever be found,

One soul in two bodies, forever bound.

When pain strikes one,

And the other is undone.

Love's story stands apart

from the world's lore,

Even in defeat, it will fight once more.

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Love's never born

of what's planned carefully.

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Love's never born

of what's planned carefully.

From my world to yours,

The road is long, you see,

But my heart knows well,

Wherever you are is home to me.

It is home to me.

Hearts come together in a single flow,

You may not trust it, but I know.

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Love's never born

of what's planned carefully.

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,

Listen, my dear, oh listen to me,
