Bro, it's not much
of a love story!
Just a couple of twerps
from Sainikpuri and Vayupuri!
And the whole story is just
about these dullards.
Stop it, Uncle!
That's the worst way to explain it.
- Let me tell it properly.
- Fine. Be my guest.
See, love stories
can be divided into two eras.
Before Jio and after Jio.
This one happened
in the pre-Jio days.
Back when you could buy
eight panipuris for ten rupees!
But before we start with the love story,
there's a bit of back story.
This was May 2015, peak summer,
and the day of the Telangana EAMCET exam.
That's my dad. Nalli Gopal Rao.
The son of a scholar!
And that's me, Nalli Akhil Kumar.
Utterly hopeless.
My dad played a big role in my story.
Flashback to 2009.
When ten panipuris cost ten rupees.
NALLI HOUSE
- Son, hold the mouse properly.
- Yes, Dad?
- Okay, Dad.
- Pretend you're working hard.
- There you go!
- Okay, Dad.
Look, Akhil, he is Bill Gates.
He started Microsoft. You need to
start a big software company like him.
There's serious money in software.
This is IIT, and that's NIT.
If you get into either,
you'll be the next Bill Gates.
Really?
He is Ilaiyaraaja.
A legend in music.
So, while you're focusing on your studies,
also make time to learn music.
It'll give you a bright future, son.
So, Akhil, what do you want to be
when you grow up?
Dad, I want to be a stuntman just like
Hrithik Roshan from the movie Dhoom.
Dhoom, dhoom!
And that was it.
That answer did its job.
He never took me seriously again.
He thought I was a complete write-off.
From then on, it was all about
his choices, not mine.
He looks like my principal!
Wish he were dead!
Nobody could catch him
Now, he's living amid the stars
- Idiot.
- Dad.
You've got your EAMCEin an hour, and you're humming?
Good students study constantly!
Okay. Let's pretend to study.
You couldn't manage
to get into NIT and IIT.
If you don't score high enough to get
accepted into a Hyderabad college,
I'll send you to the stars!
If you bag a top rank,
you will end up at a top college.
If you end up at a top college,
you can get a job at a top MNC.
That will help you settle down!
And you'll marry a girl from our caste
with a hefty dowry.
Oh, girl! Then it's fine.
But if you carry on like this,
useless and broke,
I'll have to practically beg someone
to marry you.
Look, a girl may accept someone
who is not good-looking,
but no one marries a dullard,
and a broke jobless loser.
Get that through your head!
Dad, are you talking about Mom?
Don't say that!
I'll beat the hell out of you!
Get back to your books!
If there is ever an exam
for getting insulted,
you'll be the top scorer.
Excelling at something runs in
our family. Dad excels at corruption.
Sir, here's the file.
Too many violations, it's severe.
You aren't constructing in
the Residential Categorical Zone, sir.
We need to conduct the zone conversation.
It's hard to manage.
More than four floors not allowed.
Form-1, Part 136.
24D.
73A.
16C.
- It's on the Malkajgiri bus route.
- Yeah, that's the one. I meant 66C.
I get such a buzz when I get a bribe!
So cold, so good.
And that's my mom, Nalli Srilatha.
Ma'am, could I get a 500-rupee raise?
Sure, clean the house first.
- Lakshmi.
- Ma'am?
- Clean that corner.
- Okay, ma'am.
Ma'am, my raise?
This piece of paper has been on the floor
for two days. Is this how you clean?
And you want a raise?
My mom tops in bargaining
and shouting at the maid.
That's my brother, Nalli Nikhil Kumar.
He's a pro at utter nonsense.
What? You downed the milk in one go?
Good boy!
Drink it like that every day, okay?
Excellent!
Mom, it tasted
We were opposites.
He loved okra. I preferred ivy gourd.
And finally, my family
WhatsApp group.
Named as Nalli Chettu. Everyone is
a top contributor to nonsense chats.
MY SON SCORED
920 OUT OF 1000!
HOW MUCH DID AKHIL SCORE IN EXAMS?
PROBABLY 420!
- Hey.
- Yes, Dad?
If you walk out of your exam
in ten minutes
like you did in the Chemistry test,
you're done for!
Don't embarrass us in front
of our relatives. Please.
All the best. Write well.
Be careful when filling
in the bubbles on your answer sheet!
Let's tease her.
Do you have an eraser?
Oh, it's right there. Okay.
Now he's living amid the stars
Nobody could catch him
Now he's living amid the stars
Now he's living amid the stars
One. One.
Two. Two.
Two. Two. Two.
Let's go!
Sir, I've filled in two bubbles
in the same column!
Why're you singing while filling the OMR?
Can't you focus?
Please, sir. Do something.
Please, sir. Do something.
I'm an orphan except for my parents.
- He's messed up the roll number section.
- Is it?
You're an ace at filling in those bubbles.
Which college do you go to?
Don't disturb.
Son.
We can't help now.
Sit for one hour and then leave.
My dad is going to k*ll me
on results day.
How was Physics?
No clue. I just marked
two answers for everything.
I'll definitely clear it.
It'll be good enough
if they give us four hours.
I'd get a top rank.
My dad paid a hefty donation
to get me a seat in college.
There just wasn't enough time.
Which test was easier?
Andhra or Telangana Board?
Telangana's was better.
Andhra's test was hard.
Literally, the test was
too hard to solve.
The test was full of
out-of-syllabus questions.
They should do a re-exam.
Everyone's bound to fail.
You wouldn't believe
how hard it was!
The girl in front of me
cried the whole time.
Scared her parents would beat her up
if she failed, right?
Please, sir. Conduct a re-exam.
No one will join engineering
if this continues.
Students from other states
will grab the seats.
Respected CM of Telangana,
please conduct a re-exam.
Not for me alone,
but for all the poor souls.
Dad.
I nailed the exam.
I'll get a perfect score.
- Shall we grab a sapota juice?
- That's again a useless expense for me!
Every rupee I spent on you
is down the drain.
You couldn't study,
so I put you in music class.
Besides the happy birthday tune,
did you learn anything else?
Dad, I know Fr Elise.
I played it a lot of time!
That's the same tune my car plays
when it's put in a reverse gear!
And I paid 30,000 for this?
Shucks!
Another 30,000 for EAMCET coaching.
A total waste.
What have you done?
What did you even do
in these last two months?
Say something!
You've learned nothing.
What you have drawn?
No studies, no clue!
- Ticket?
- Bro, we've got passes.
- Give me fruit beer!
- Look at these clowns!
They don't have any fear
What's with this chaos?
Can't crack MPC
Clueless about BiPC!
They can't do anything
Such idiots!
They consider math as complex
And science as a nuisance
This scientist says that
Such a crap!
- You drew an "A" on the OMR sheet?
- Sir!
- You think you're Hrithik from Dhoom?
- Sir, sir, please!
Look at these clowns!
They don't have any fear
What's with this chaos?
Who drew this?
I'll beat you where it hurts.
Mom, okra again?
- You could've made ivy gourd.
- You get lazy eating that. Eat your food.
Sameera, your voice is so lovely.
So sweet.
- Stop talking to your nanny.
- Why?
Your voice is so sweet,
she might get diabetes!
Akhil, weren't you writing
a poem for me?
Yeah, yeah, one minute.
I'll write one for you now, Sameera.
Very original poem just for you!
Yeah. I have this idea.
You're the light of my life.
You're the light in my life
You guide me right
Your love's a melody in my heart
Your love's a melody in my heart
And you're my soul's delight!
They are like this
They are born like this
If you decline us
We'll go away quietly
All the relatives give random suggestions
And there's nothing going
To change, anyway
Pity! What a fate
If you feel in that way
You will end miserably
Bro, all colleges are on strike today.
Are you not coming? Hurry up!
Get up, guys!
It's a strike day!
- Hail Telangana!
- Hail Telangana!
Wait!
The state was split a year ago!
Why are you still fighting?
- This strike is for ABVP!
- Hail ABVP!
- Ticket?
- Yeah, we have a bus pass!
Struggling to make the grade
If he clears it
It's a call for destruction
If being aimless was a game
He has what it takes
To come out on top!
CSE girls at this college are pretty,
and at this college, ECE girls are pretty.
Yeah, but check that one. Let's do
CSE there. Or ECE at this one. Sorted.
Search for Ishika Sharma.
Search for Pooja Mishra.
Also search for Swetha Menon.
IIT, and NIT, got tough
Competition to crack
One, two Three, three
Four, five
Hit the drum
No studies, no clue!
Look at these clowns!
They don't have any fear
What's with this chaos?
- Yeah, we have a bus pass!
- Show me.
- Let's go.
- They don't have any fear
What's with this chaos?
Lot of syllabus to prepare.
This sum is not coming
What happened, Dad?
I'm studying here!
I bookmarked this page
two weeks ago.
You're still writing on the same one?
It hasn't been turned even once!
We'll discuss after
the results are out. Not now!
Who bought you that T-shirt?
You did, Dad!
- And your underwear?
- You again, Dad.
- This computer then?
- That's also you, Dad.
Then why have you put up
Nagarjuna's photo as the wallpaper?
It's not just me.
Around 80% of Telugu boys were wasting
time just like me during EAMCET prep.
Don't look at me like that!
Do you know why most
middle-class families have two kids?
So even if one fails, they hope
the other saves the family.
- Akhil!
- Coming!
Akhil.
Your dad's going to make sure
you get in, right?
We're both going to end up
in the same college, right?
Yeah, find out which college
your dad has paid for, Sameera.
- I'll join that one too.
- Okay.
- Let's meet on the results day.
- Okay.
How the hell did you pass, Madhu?
I got my hall ticket
number right, that's how!
You won't get a spot with that rank.
It looks like a phone number!
Still, what's the use anyway?
Ashish got a decent rank.
Rank, 45,000.
Look how chuffed he is!
Go and worship him.
I'm leaving now. Need to act all upset
before Dad gets home.
Same. I'm due for
a proper beating today.
Don't panic, Uncle.
At worst,
we'll just get shouted at.
They'll definitely scold us.
- So we've got to use our brains now.
- Gopichand's film?
Just shut up, keep your head down,
and a blank expression on your face.
If they say food isn't for us,
stay quiet.
If they call us useless donkeys,
ignore it.
Because you are the one!
If they say our grades are shameful,
we do know that!
Don't react.
Even if they say
we're not fit to be even beggars.
I know it's very harsh!
But just keep quiet!
Walk into your room quietly.
But if you act all c*ck,
you'll get a slap straight to the face.
My tiger of a dad is about to arrive.
I'm leaving.
Bye, Ashish.
Bye, Uncle.
I'll put on a burqa and smack that guy
outside Anish College Point.
I will thrash him.
I'll wreck him outright!
Who stopped Sudhakar from bashing up
Akhil because he fancied Shalini?
I did!
He's got no loyalty!
My life's ruined, I failed tenth grade,
and now I'm stuck here with you guys.
Don't forget, I'm your senior!
- Yeah, that's why he calls you "uncle".
- You are the uncle, you moron!
Useless eunuch!
Fanny magnet!
Okay there.
Akhil, we saved some sweets for you.
Go and eat.
Is that so, Uncle?
Good lord, what a smile!
Wonder how many guys got
busted because of her!
- Good evening, Dad.
- Shut the front door, son.
Come here.
- You had a kachori?
- No, Dad.
- What about your friends' ranks?
- They all failed too, Dad.
Is that so?
Then why are their dads
saying they cleared the test?
Maybe they're just saying it?
Lies after lies!
You've embarrassed me in
front of everyone, you idiot!
Do you know what rank that
bald Suresh's daughter got? 10,000!
And he even gave us
kalakand as sweets!
Our office clerk's daughter
scored a rank of 8000.
The girls are at the top of the rankings,
and you couldn't even pass!
I got you a computer when you were a kid,
so you could become a software engineer.
But you've been using it
to download pirated films!
Waste fellow.
And now your brother, Nikhil, is
always glued to that screen too.
Darn it.
Do you know
what that bald guy said?
We all know about
this anyway, sir
That I must've taken bribes
to pay for your admission.
I felt really humiliated.
He's right, though.
He's seen you since you were a kid.
You got 70% in
intermediate exams.
Seven CGPA in tenth grade.
- Dad, 7.2!
- I'll slap you sideways, you little twit!
He doesn't even feel guilty
for failing!
This drama's over. Let's go.
People who secured top ranks
came from regular schools.
But you even attended posh,
multispecialty schools and colleges!
- We pay millions to get high ranks!
- Oh!
Forget ranking,
he didn't even qualify!
There's negative marking
in AIEEE too, mind it!
He's dragging down the name
of the Nalli family!
- Are we paying to reserve his place now?
- Who's paying what?
What then?
He's going to earn a regular degree?
Only people who can't study
go for a regular college degree.
That's a disgrace to our name.
He's doing long-term prep now.
He'll take the EAMCET next year
and pursue engineering.
- No, Dad! Please!
- Nothing!
People will claim I used bribe money
to secure your admission.
Do I need that kind of
slander against my name?
Dad, I promise, I'll study hard for
engineering, and I'll get a job for sure!
Foxes bark loudly for no reason,
and they won't stay calm forever!
You're akin to a fox, Akhil!
It's my dream for you to
become a software engineer.
That's why
I had your photo framed.
You're doing long-term.
Not just EAMCET this time.
Your goal is IIT or NIT.
You're going to be a software engineer.
And that's final!
Oh dear! How could this happen?
Is this what's meant to be?
Why don't I earn good grades?
Akhil, switch off the light.
I'm sleepy.
- What's for dinner?
- Ivy gourd.
Go to Mom
and tell her Akhil is devastated
as he's failed.
Bring me some food,
I'm starving!
"Akhil, my dad paid to
get me into Christ University."
I don't think long-distance
relationships work for me.
"I'm blocking you. Hope you understand.
All the best for your future endeavors."
Bloody hell
The number you're trying to call
is currently not reachable. Please try
- Akhil, small advice.
- What the heck...
If Dad finds you with that phone,
he'll take that too.
Just pretend to study this week.
Roam with a book in your hand.
Pick up the call.
Pick up the call!
Listen, dude, a word of advice.
Let's leave now.
If she tells her dad, we're dead meat.
Let's go!
She's not picking up the phone.
Do you have credit on your second SIM?
- Yeah.
- He'll ruin us.
Sameera, come down!
Come down!
No. I won't.
Get lost from here!
- I'll come inside your house then!
- Really?
Go on then. I dare you!
- Why is she daring me now?
- Let's leave from here.
My dad will literally break your bones!
Alright?
No, Sameera. We loved each other
so much. What happened?
Akhil, stop annoying me!
Just go away!
I wrote poems for you, Sameera!
Remember those?
Oh, God, here comes Shakespeare!
You can find those on Google!
Why would I need you for that?
He thinks he's Allasani Peddana!
Get lost!
Bro, I even bought her churidars.
Such a waste of cash!
It was stolen from
the neighborhood building. Let's go.
Beware of dogs.
Well said, bro.
Start the bike!
Go, go, man!
Sit properly!
I can feel your weenie!
I think I'm going through
a bad patch, bro.
Dad slapped me hard.
Who takes long-term for MPC these days?
And Sameera dumped me.
Stop it, Jackie Chan!
Why'd she leave me, though?
I'm good-looking, right?
- Thinning already.
- There he goes again.
You'll be bald in ten years.
Women don't stay with losers, Akhil.
They choose blokes with cash.
They'll marry an
average-looking guy if he's rich.
But a broke idiot? No.
- Even my dad said the same.
- Everyone says that.
- I've made up my mind, dude.
- What now? You'll become an IAS officer?
I'll marry someone who loves me
without caring about looks, status,
or money.
- I'll stick with her.
- Then you'll never get married.
If I find someone like that,
I won't let her go.
But for now,
I've lost my appetite.
Do you really have
to make chicken today?
I didn't make it for him.
It's Wednesday.
I eat chicken only on Wednesdays.
I made it for myself.
No one in this house respects me.
You eat, son.
You're starting tuition next week.
Are you serious about
this long-term plan?
Whatever it takes,
you need to earn your spot.
No one in our family ever secured
admission through a donation.
Not even for a medical college!
You're the one shaming us.
So get cracking from tomorrow!
Alright. Why go to coaching again?
I'll prep at home.
If I slap you with my eating hand,
you'll have rice all over your face!
Do what I say. Eat!
Mom, I can't eat
while Dad is shouting at me.
Come on, darling, eat up.
From tomorrow, serve food
before Dad comes home.
Types of hairstyles.
Oh, French braid it is!
What's up?
My dad?
Wait, I'm coming.
- Why are they meeting?
- Maybe to talk about our future?
What are they saying?
No clue!
I guess, Putin disagrees
with Trump's idea!
Why's your dad walking off?
Probably realized talking about
our future is pointless.
My future was wasted, not his!
And now we're stuck at
this Koti Tuition Centre.
Your dad cares about you, so he put you
in the extended prep program.
Why does he care about
my future anyway?
I failed tenth grade!
And now this long-term stuff!
I won't even get a job.
My dad said he'd arrange
a fake medical certificate, right?
Both you and your dad should
get mental health certificates!
- Then why did your dad agree with my dad?
- Ask your dad!
"One who can't study
is akin to an animal."
-Darn it
-The tutor here is an animal.
IT'S OKAY TO WEAR A TORN SHIRT,
BUT BUY A GOOD BOOK!
STUDY IS MORE IMPORTANTHAN MONEY
Bloody hell, our classmates will just
buy their way in
and then post about it
on Facebook.
"Joined B.Tech in SRM Lovely
Professional University, VIT, NIT, etc."
We've got to earn our ranks, man,
not just buy our way in!
Idiot.
One slap will set you straight!
I'm genuinely upset,
and you're talking rubbish!
Why so sad? Just post on Facebook.
"Enrolled in a long-term course
at Koti Tuition Centre."
I promise I'll be joining IIT!
This is our bench.
Please move, we'll be sitting here.
I didn't see your name
carved on it.
Look, they're girls.
Let's head off.
Take your hand off!
You're going overboard!
Where's your name on this bench?
Anjali! That's my name.
Will you move now?
Such a nasty name,
just like her face!
Happy now? Now let's go.
We really need to write our names
on every bench now.
There he is, the King Cobra!
Settle down, quick.
To crack EAMCET,
you need to remember just two things.
First, don't ignore Physics.
My a*s.
If you focus on Physics,
you can earn a high rank.
And second thing,
Akhil, Madhu, stand up!
If you guys want to earn a high rank,
avoid these two at all costs.
We won't be able to
see this idiot at all in the dark!
I'm only hanging out
with them for the money, sir.
Sit down.
- We need to beat him before it gets dark!
- He'll blend right into the night!
They're BiPC students, dude!
Dogs stick out their tongues
only when they are thirsty.
You're always drooling
over girls, you perv!
Look at her hair. She's a dead ringer
for Parineeti Chopra from Ishaqzaade.
She's so beautiful!
Even the snack vendor
in our village has the same hairstyle.
- You just confirmed you're a hillbilly.
- Just like your dad!
Why are you gnawing on
that pen like a dog?
It's not just about looks, you know.
We need to assess a girl's character too.
If she offers me an extra pen out
of kindness, it shows she's a kind person.
We can count on her.
Why do you even care
if she's kind or not?
Get lost, idiot.
This pen's not working.
This bloody pen not working!
Anyone have a pen?
Anyone?
Dude, Madhu,
why isn't she helping?
Man, this is a brand new shirt!
Excuse me?
Sorry, sorry!
So sorry. That was an accident.
Spilled ink on her,
say you're sorry!
Sorry!
She's not going
to forget this, dude.
That guy in Chatrapathi
movie did the same, remember?
Spilled ink on a woman on the bus.
You copied him!
Not your mother, my mother!
She's coming here!
I really am sorry.
It was an accident.
Yeah, I can tell that
by looking at your friend's face!
- I'm Akhil. Power of Jua.
- Khathyayani.
- I know your name.
- Get lost.
He's Madhu.
You guys new here?
Yeah, long-term MPC.
We flunked the entrance.
- What about you?
- BiPC.
Also long-term. We failed at
the first attempt, just like you.
Why are you telling them all this?
Do we need to bond with them?
Why would you even take long-term
for engineering?
Usually, it's BiPC students
who do that.
You BiPC lot can do long-term
as much as you like,
but when MPC students do it,
it's a problem?
Don't look down on us now.
- Uncle...
- Hello. BiPC only has limited seats, okay?
In Hyderabad, only around 50 colleges
offer it. There's a huge difference.
What do you mean by look down on you?
You sound full of yourself.
Let's go!
Bloody.
They are alive because
I don't lay a hand on women!
Did you see her attitude?
What attitude, Madhu?
Just naming someone after a girl isn't
enough, you've got to respect them too.
You've left
a bad impression already.
To hell with him!
Always hovering around her.
Khathyayani, what are you
doing at this hour?
Do you sleep with your hair braided?
Or you just leave them untied?
What's your bedtime hairstyle then?
Sit properly, Khathyayani.
How many times do I have
to tell you not to sit like that?
Do I need to remind you again?
Study properly this time, at least!
People laugh at us doctors. They say
we've got a daughter who's a dumb head!
Those two are fake doctors.
Even though they have
very good government jobs.
They run private clinics for money.
Money's the real medicine.
Don't run out of Vitamin M!
They act like they're doing charity
by naming me after their bloody clinic.
Kishore's joining your
coaching center from tomorrow.
What for? He's already
got a B-category seat!
Apparently, that's not good enough
for them. They want a free seat now.
Look at their expectations.
Work hard, dear.
- Did you go to class with a ponytail?
- No, Dad.
No, dear.
She wore her hair in a plait.
Stop with the fancy hairstyles.
You do something weird, what's that?
- Puff, Dad!
- Yeah, whatever! Knock them off!
Boys will start chasing girls at this age.
She won't listen when I ask her
to wear loose clothes.
Listen to your mom!
We don't need distractions at this age.
It'd be better if you oiled your hair
and tied them in a braid.
No one would even look at you then.
Dude, she looks even
better with oil in her hair.
Look what my mom did.
She has drenched me in hair oil.
Shut it, idiot! Looks like her hair
is dripping with a lot of oil.
- Looks like some useless mop!
- Your uncle is useless.
How many times do we
have to study this rubbish?
I can't make sense of this bloody diagram.
- Hi, Khathyayani.
- Hi, brother-in-law.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Go away, you swine!
Who's this clown now?
Why's he fiddling with her hair?
Why's she laughing with him?
Forget her, he's clearly
trying to impress her.
What's the plan now?
- The teacher is here. Go.
- Waste of space.
- Let's grab panipuri this evening.
- Fine. Get moving.
He looks so stunning!
It's surprising that you are
trying to woo that dumbo!
Now there's another
joker chasing her.
- Go talk to him.
- What for?
Just casually ask him.
Who is he? Where is he from?
What's he like?
Is he tough? Or hard to handle.
Is he hot or eat some crap?
Why should I go and ask him?
Idiot, do as I say.
We'll figure out if he's a threat.
- No way!
- I'll buy you snacks.
- Where are you from, bro?
- Marredpally, bro.
Why come all the way to
AS Rao Nagar for tuition?
Nothing. Good coaching here.
Also, my sister-in-law is studying here.
- Khathyayani.
- Oh, yeah, I noticed.
- Did you fail too?
- No, I've got a B-category seat.
People don't respect B-category
students for free, so I came here.
- That's why, joined here!
- We also failed, bro.
- MPC stream.
- This is my friend, Akhil.
Hi.
His dad had enough money and dumped
us both into a long-term prep course.
Joker.
He's Kishore,
Khathyayani's brother-in-law.
He's rich.
Well, so am I!
We've got money too! Next?
He got a seat in the B-Category!
Trying for a free seat for respect!
Even I'm trying for respect.
Draw the match. Next!
He's two years older than us.
He's an uncle, then!
Just like you.
I'm still a teenager, mate!
Alright, forget that.
Who's better looking? Me or him?
Think like a girl, Madhu.
Oh, is it?
He's good-looking.
Mahesh Babu's got charm.
Prabhas as well. Don't compare them.
Who said I was comparing?
Right, that's it.
From tomorrow, only healthy food!
Daily face masks!
I need to build my profile.
- Which profile?
- Facebook profile!
Got to boost the like count.
We'll do a photo sh**t.
Ask Ashish to bring the Sony DSLR.
- What for?
- Obviously to impress Khathyayani!
The plan is to erase Kishore from
the picture first, not to impress her!
Pretend you're going to Marredpally.
Offer him a ride.
My bike's low on petrol.
Just say it! Just pretend
that your dad isn't well.
Drop him off at the nearby bus stop.
He'll figure it out.
I can't
I'll buy you snacks again.
Please go now.
Fine!
Bro, I'm heading to Marredpally.
Want a ride?
Well
Forget about taking a bus
or a cab, I'll drop you there.
If she asks him to leave,
she's not into him.
- Exactly, go on!
- Come on, hop on.
Go on.
Come on, hop on.
- Bye, Kishore!
- Hop on now, I say!
Come on, son, you look like a hero.
Do you have 500 bucks?
With a cheeky little hello
And a smile thrown my way
Would it really cost you much
To greet me playfully today?
I've searched your name with
All sorts of twists on Facebook
If you posted your photo straight
I'd catch you with just one look!
You're high-fiving all the lazy lads
Who hang around
But not even a smile for me?
Am I a psycho clown or what?
There's no "No Parking" sign
In the girl's heart
Can't I have that backseat spot?
What is your opinion?
With a cheeky little hello
And a smile thrown my way
Would it really cost you much
To greet me playfully today?
I've searched your name with
All sorts of twists on Facebook
If you posted your photo straight
I'd catch you with just one look!
- Why are you clicking so many photos?
- Attitude matters, man.
She should be impressed by me.
Whatever. Did you send
her a friend request?
- Nope, I can't find her!
- You didn't find her? Search her name!
- I don't know how to spell her name.
- You what?
You don't know it either!
Yeah, fine. Check her book.
What are you doing?
Nothing, checking your syllabus.
That's a Physics textbook.
It's the same for everyone.
- Is it really?
- Why haven't you written your name on it?
So you only write names
on benches, not books?
If you write a name in books,
the resale value drops to 50%.
Keep it clean,
and you get 80% back.
She's going to be a doctor,
I'm telling you!
Oh, my darling, I wait for
Your texts every night
And change up my style
For your morning sight
I once spent my life just
Bingeing pirated films online
Is my life changing for the better?
But now it's DPs for you
And forwards all the time
Feels like I've lost my mind
As I can't find your ID
Each day, I melt like soap
Doing this daily, you see
You made my skincare budget
Go off the rails
But don't you dare ignore me
Like, you don't care!
Hi, Khathyayani.
Why are you dancing
instead of walking?
Kishore, are you nuts?
Instead of helping her,
you're giggling like an idiot!
Hey, are you alright?
- No.
- Are you upset that they laughed?
No.
Don't feel bad
about tripping, Khathyayani.
Walk slowly,
you'll get the hang of it.
- Do you have a Facebook profile?
- Yes, I do.
- What's your ID?
- LuckyMonster19.
Samantha DP!
My parents didn't want me on social media,
so it's a fake account.
Alright, I'll send a request.
Okay, bye.
Bye.
With a cheeky little hello
And a smile thrown my way
Would it really cost you much
To greet me playfully today?
I've searched your name with
All sorts of twists on Facebook
If you posted your photo
I'd catch you with just one look!
- Madhu. Ashish.
- Tell me.
She's not messaging back, man.
It's a miracle that she accepted
your friend request. Be grateful.
Dude, send her "Hey there".
- Already did.
- How long ago?
An hour.
She's online, right?
Bet she's chatting with
that Kishore guy.
He's online too.
Give me an idea.
How do I get her attention?
Spam her with
"Please reply" messages.
That sounds desperate.
Think about it, man.
I'll go mad
if I don't build some tension.
"Share this Sai Baba photo to ten members
or else you will fail in exams?"
She'll have to reply it!
Seriously! You've lost your mind.
Madhu sent me this.
I'm so sorry!
Yeah, but why are you sending
this to me now?
WHICH ARE YOUR FAVOURITE ACTORS?
AND YOURS?
Shall I wear a fresh tee
Just to impress you more?
Or dub old songs into reels
To make my trend score?
Shall I grab day one tickets
From BookMyShow?
Post love quotes in deep captions
With that BrainyQuotes?
Dad plays devotional tunes
Every morning like a rite
But I blush in secret
Hearing your name in that light
No sleep for me
Duty calls on my bed each night
Midnights become daydreams
You're my endless delight!
With a cheeky little hello
And a smile thrown my way
Would it really cost you much
To greet me playfully today?
I've searched your name with
All sorts of twists on Facebook
If you posted your photo straight
I'd catch you with just one look!
Someone's watching you.
He's good-looking, check him out.
Do you think this film will be
a blockbuster? Doubt it.
It'll be a hit!
It'll win an Oscar!
You're hanging out with
Akhil too much.
Oscar? Too much overconfidence
leads nowhere!
That Akhil is always around her too.
She'll reject him eventually.
He'll be crying in the end.
His love story's bound
to flop like Baahubali.
Dad, I want a haircut.
- Why? Go oil your hair and braid it.
- Okay.
I'll see who dares flirt with you now.
She actually looks lovely
with oil in her hair.
I chatted with her on Facebook last night.
Her dad apparently
tells her to prep that way.
My future father-in-law already
knows what I like! So cute.
You're lucky, and he's using it!
That's why I'm watching this rubbish now.
Show some respect.
You might be an uncle,
give some respect to uncles too!
Son, why're you
wearing that face mask?
Ask your mom to slap some turmeric
and herbal paste on you instead.
She'll give you a full-body glow-up.
Then you can go for
a gender reassignment surgery.
I'll get a bonus next year, perfect timing
to throw you a puberty ceremony.
Followed by a wedding.
How about that?
Akhil, look at my ear.
Let's get a piercing done!
- Yeah, son, earrings will suit you well!
- It will look good.
Why stop there?
Try bangles too.
Anklets as well. Go all in.
Piss off, you guys.
SAI SNACKS STALL
- Kishore, he's good at studies, right?
- He's my brother-in-law, not my brother.
- Which school is he from?
- PIV Public School. Why?
Is it?
That place is full of losers!
Very spoiled batch. Be careful!
Little delinquents.
Drugs, dodgy habits, all sorts.
Which school are you from?
Bhashyam Public School,
very down to earth!
What about
your intermediate college?
It wasn't a college,
more like a juvenile center.
Same here! I was basically
a child inmate.
You know what,
Kishore is so funny.
DID YOU EAT? YES. WHAT ABOUT YOU?
I JUST HAD FOOD
Let's mess with him a bit.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE BROTHER-IN-LAW
AND SISTER-IN-LAW GET MARRIED?
Perfect. Send!
"Biological defects that may occur if
brother-in-law marries his sister-in-law."
Why're you sending this to me?
Just for general knowledge.
I already know.
I study biology!
Oh, right. Then I have nothing
to worry about.
- Akhil, I need to tell you something.
- What is it?
Just spit it out, don't build suspense.
Good news or bad?
Depends on how you take it.
Go on, I'm a very positive person.
Cool. I'll tell you tomorrow.
Okay, okay.
Yeah! She can't hold it in.
She's going to propose.
I'll propose first, then!
Wait, send her a friend request first.
Actually, send requests
to all the suggested girls.
Ignore this.
Search every profile named Sravya.
Send a request with the same name
for all profiles.
Then Sandhya, followed by Sirisha.
What about Priya?
No, no, too many fake profiles
with that name.
- Try Suma instead.
- Need a print from this pen drive.
Okay.
- What is it?
- Science project.
Alright, one color printout.
Delete once you're done.
Okay.
- Clear it from the Recycle Bin too.
- Okay.
Eats like a pig,
but never pays a penny!
How the heck did you
manage to impress that girl?
- Good question.
- Yes, please answer.
She comes to class every day.
Everyone stares at her like a creep.
Including me, just like an owl!
She never looked my way.
Until one day,
she nearly tripped.
Everyone just laughed
without showing any empathy.
Even our Uncle Madhu here.
But I didn't laugh.
She saw the compassion in my eyes.
Realized I was different
from these idiots!
A bit like that parrot
in The Jungle Book.
No sane person would
opt for a long-term MPC course.
Us apparently.
And now you want to propose?
If she complains, your dad
will show you the real jungle!
That's why
I didn't sign the letter.
She'll say yes anyway.
Why not just write "Please
love me back" then?
Don't fold that.
It's my heart!
Heart? Looks more like a public toilet!
How many girls are you fitting in there?
It's a small heart.
Little Heart, man!
Get lost.
Okay.
Khathyayani.
Khathyayani, the letter.
At least fold it, or else
she'll think it's a promo flyer.
They're coming.
RELEASED TODAY
SHIVA SHAKTI BAAHUBALI
Hold on!
Anjali, you go ahead.
I need to talk to Khathyayani.
Khathyayani, please.
Come this way, Khathyayani.
I wonder what sort of perfume
she uses, it literally smells like hell!
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Enough! Look there.
- Wastrel!
I love you, Khathyayani.
If you're going to reject me,
just say no.
Don't go crying to the teacher or my dad.
My parents have huge hopes pinned on me.
- Akhil, no, you're
- What? Not good-looking?
Go on, say it if I'm not!
Mom says I look like Mahesh Babu.
- No, Akhil, you are
- Say it, Khathyayani. Am I not attractive?
You're fine-looking.
That's not the issue.
- Then what?
- Is it money? My dad's loaded.
Caste? We're upper caste.
My complexion?
No. None of that, Akhil.
You're talking nonsense.
- Then what is it?
- I'm not your type.
I'm doing a long-term prep course.
So am I!
What's wrong with that?
It's not that we can't
afford management seats.
We're doing this
because we want to earn it.
If I buy my way into college,
buildings might collapse.
If you do, patients will die.
Don't stress.
I'll be your moral support.
No panic, yeah...
Akhil, I'm in the fourth year
of my prep program.
Fourth year?
I'm three years older than you.
Anjali and I lied.
We didn't want to feel ashamed.
- We failed our first attempt too.
- Why are you saying all this?
She's in her fifth year.
Fifth year?
Why is he staring at you like that?
No clue.
I'm in the fourth year
of my prep program.
I meant to tell you last night
on Facebook, meanwhile you
And that Kishore?
He's two years older than us.
- So he's an uncle too, just like you.
- I'm still a teenager, okay?
Akhil.
Akhil!
What now?
- Are you older than Kishore?
- Yes!
- Are you not a teenager?
- Not anymore.
I'm 20. I'll be 21 soon.
Are you an auntie?
What the f*ck!
Well deserved!
She gave him a tight one!
I said not to woo her!
He deserved it anyway!
Want some dessert?
Have it, my love!
Did she just feed you dessert, son?
Did your little heart
get a bruise now?
Will our king finally get a queen today?
Will anyone even budge
For his bicycle bell?
Will a local song ever win an Oscar?
And will that team
Ever win the IPL trophy?
Tell me, kid.
How was Baahubali?
That bald fellow betrayed Prabhas.
The lights came on,
the film ended. That's it.
Really?
So what's the verdict? Is it a flop?
Not exactly. Just average.
So, two disasters now.
I'll call you after my show.
See that? Baahubali got a lukewarm
response. Same as our mate's love story.
It's dangerous
to be this delusional and happy.
Not delusional,
just prepared for the worst.
I warned him not to get c*ck.
First, you said that the film
would win an Oscar.
Then he says
he'd propose to that girl.
He's so unlucky, even a black cat
would keel over if it saw him.
Karma is real. He used to mock me
as "uncle" for an entire year.
And now he's stuck with a girl
two years older than him!
Even for me!
God exists, bro.
He won't let devils like you escape.
- I'm three years older than you.
- Are you not a teenager?
Not anymore.
I'm 20, turning 21.
"What happens
if the wife is older than the husband?"
"The couple is three times
more likely to divorce"
Sad quotes.
I walk alone
Through all this endless suffering
The greatest
What is the reason
She left me alone?
Irritating!
A successful couple where wife
is older than the husband.
Waiting for her to say
The age is just a number!
Why can't she see that
I'm dying just to meet her
The age is just a number!
I'm dying just to meet her
The age is just a number!
The age is just a number!
Khathyayani, ever since you slapped him,
he hasn't said a word.
He never left the Chaat Shop
without eating two dishes.
But now he walks off
without even eating one dish.
He's that upset.
He didn't even flinch
when he failed his exams.
Please talk to him, Khathyayani.
He's slipping into depression.
You'll be studying medicine, you know
how important mental health is.
As a future doctor,
please just talk to him.
Don't you get it?
How was that?
What's with that hand gesture? You look
like you're begging for spare change.
A bit more dramatic, Madhu.
Not like that.
She needs to see that you care
when you talk about me.
She has to feel sorry for me.
Say it with real emotion,
"Talk to him, Khathyayani".
Not like you're acting in a school play.
"Talk to him, Khathyayani."
You think I'm Kamal Haasan in
Dasavathaaram, playing ten roles or what?
Dude, nothing like that.
In fact, you skipped half the lines.
Fine. At least stop
raising your hands.
Go. Just convince her to talk to me.
I'll persuade her later.
Excuse me.
- Khathyayani.
- Darn it!
I'm really sorry, Khathyayani,
for calling you "Auntie".
It's because of Madhu
that I've turned out this way.
I'll cut him off!
Bad influence, truly.
I don't care at all about
the age difference.
If anything, it's a plus.
You'll take care of me!
Three years isn't a big deal.
You'll just die three years
earlier than me. Simple.
Look, I love you, Khathyayani.
I really do.
I can tell from your replies.
So quick.
Your emojis, they say it all.
You do have feelings for me, don't you?
I'm really sorry
for calling you auntie.
After all, I'm younger than you.
Please just forget it.
Alright, leave it. But stop apologizing
over and over again.
Then what should I do?
I don't know, Akhil.
It's just the age gap.
Right, hear me out.
My parents had a love marriage.
They were brother-in-law
and sister-in-law.
Four years apart. But you and I?
We're only three years apart.
So if that wasn't wrong,
how can this be?
Love should be equal, right?
Everything's fair in love.
- What's your parents' age gap then?
- Thirteen years.
What?! Thirteen?!
Was your mom in her nappies
when your dad sat for his board exams?
Sorry, sorry.
Listen to me talking like this!
You've got to take care of me.
My mom used to say,
"You're the eldest son of this family,
and yet you act like a bloody clown!"
I never understood it back then.
But I get it now.
Because you treat me like your partner.
Very well-mannered and mature.
Have you had your puberty ceremony then?
I'm 20, Akhil! Of course, I have!
Right, you're older than me,
so yeah, must've been years ago.
Oh, my God!
Stop looking at me like that.
We never even had sex education.
Our teacher, Ramadevi, just asked us
to read that chapter on our own.
So we left it as "optional".
Anyway, off topic.
Don't panic. Take your time.
Make the right decision, but choose me.
Here. I wrote down my number.
You can call me tonight.
Around 9:00 p.m.
If you have any doubts, we can talk then!
Before you place a call,
send this message first.
"Your outgoing balance
has expired, please recharge."
Then I'll reply, "Thank you
for informing." Then call me.
My mom usually takes my phone in the
evening to chat nonsense with my aunt.
I'll be waiting.
Flames! Yes!
Nikhil, go study
in the living room.
- Why?
- I've got an important call.
With who?
- A special friend. She'll call me soon.
- She?
Yeah, a girl. If I'm lucky,
she'll call every day.
Mom and Dad
shouldn't know, though.
If they do, they'll k*ll me.
Not just for me, one fine day, a special
friend will call you. Then I'll help you.
Alright then. Bring me the phone.
Install whatever game you want,
and play to the core!
But just keep this between us.
Akhil, my teacher, Pragathi,
said I'm a good boy!
Brilliant. Celebrate!
Pragathi teacher and Nikhil.
Flames!
Why hasn't she called yet?
Thanks for the information.
- Hello?
- Hi.
- Just made a deal with my brother.
- What deal?
Henceforth, a special friend will call me.
So you've got to cooperate, okay?
Don't get ahead of yourself.
So are you okay with this?
No, Akhil.
I do like you, Akhil,
but I don't believe in love.
You don't believe in love, or in me?
Not you. Just in general.
At this age, I'm not convinced it's real.
Come on, Khathyayani, just say
you're rejecting me. Don't play around.
It's not that, Akhil!
I want to marry the
person I'm in a relationship with.
And at this age, it's usually infatuation.
We think it's love.
What do you think this is then?
"100% Love" the movie? You're rambling on.
Alright, if I prove to you it's love
and not a crush, then?
Then what?
I'm asking, if you do believe me,
will you say yes?
- I don't know.
- Say it.
Maybe.
- That's good enough.
- So, what now?
I'll wait. I'll wait until you
believe in me.
- You'll really wait?
- I love you. I'll wait for you.
But promise me something. If you found
someone else, you'll let me know.
Why?
So I can prove
I'm better than that joker.
Fine then.
- I love you, Khathyayani.
- Akhil
- No need to say it back.
- Then what should I say?
Just thank you.
Alright, thank you.
Good. Now spell your name.
You fell in love with me without
even knowing how to spell my name?
Your name isn't simple,
to teach me in school?
And you didn't write it in your book
either, resale value and all that!
Alright, here it goes, KHA.
- KHA.
- THYA.
THYA.
YANI.
NI.
Khathyayani with Akhil!
Will our King finally get a Queen today?
Will anyone even budge
For his bicycle bell, I say?
Will a local song
Ever win an Oscar?
And will that team actually lift
The IPL trophy?
She doesn't love him.
But says thank you every time he proposes.
She will marry the guy whom she loves?
She sounds like an auntie,
just like her name and age!
Will a thousand-rupee note
Be banned again?
Will a thousand-crore
Telugu film make a gain?
If we build a house over a lake
Who's coming to break it down then?
All these bizarre things we keep saying
Tell me, do they ever happen even once?
And by simply wishing for it
Will you get a girlfriend anyway?
Will our King finally get a Queen today?
Will anyone even budge for his
Bicycle bell, I say?
Will a local song ever win an Oscar?
And will that team actually
Lift the IPL trophy?
- What are you writing, mate?
- Code language. Just for us.
Remove the first and last letters.
That's the message.
Buttcrack?
- Genius.
- I know.
EDUCATION IS BETTER THAN WEALTH
Khathyayani.
"Want to bunk classes tomorrow?"
Akhil.
"They'll call our parents
if we do, so no."
Sir, excuse me, my dad wants
to speak with you.
- Yes, tell me?
- Hello, sir.
I've changed my number.
Save this one.
- Send all updates here.
- What happened to your old number?
Took a loan to pay tuition fees.
The lender turned out to be a total shark.
- Had to give up that number.
- Alright, no problem.
Study well, dear.
Can you really see colors in the shade?
Can you scroll all day and still
Get free data on your phone?
If China eats junk
And the world starts shaking
Is there a chance of a global lockdown?
Just like that, will this girl you're
Crushing on
Suddenly fall for you and tag
Along? No, no!
For our king
Will ever get this queen?
Will anyone even budge
For his bicycle bell, I say?
Will our King finally get a Queen today?
Will anyone even budge
For his bicycle bell, I say?
Will a local song ever win an Oscar?
And will that team actually
Lift the IPL trophy?
My school principal's a proper joke.
Akhil, mind your language.
That's a tough habit to break.
My dad never told me off for it.
Have some respect, it's your dad!
- How do you address him?
- Yeah, and I say, "Hi Dad", what else?
No, I mean, do you refer to him in
singular or plural?
Singular, obviously. Why would I
use plural? He's not royalty!
That's not right. He's older,
you need to show respect.
Your
Mom is a good lady!
What are you reading, son?
Skill page from
Eenadu newspaper, Dad.
Don't just read it. Make sure
your name ends up in it someday.
I will, Dad.
Dad, when will you be home tonight?
What, come again?
So you can bring kachori, right?
Plural?
Since when do you talk like that?
My good friend told me
to use plural to show respect.
He's asked me to use the plural
form while addressing.
- Who? Madhu?
- No, not a chance.
A new mate from coaching.
Stick with that one,
he's a good influence.
Definitely, Dad.
Poor Uncle Gopal Rao.
He didn't realize "good friend"
was an auntie.
You said Baahubali and this
guy's love story would flop!
- Look now!
- Turned into a surprise blockbuster, man!
I want to do Biotechnology.
Tell your dad then.
Can you tell your dad
you can't pursue engineering?
I could, but I'll be homeless,
because he will throw me out!
I mean, Dad will throw me out!
Figure it out!
That how to deal it
- How long will you just drift aimlessly?
- She's talking about you, mate.
She's right, though.
So many career options.
It's true.
- Ask her to pass me a bit of that cake!
- Akhil.
She's talking again.
You need a real career plan too.
- Here, have a slice.
- Let's change, man
Let's not take advice from someone
who's failed four years in a row.
Akhil, do you have any caste issues?
Me and Jake Sully from Avatar
are same caste, aliens!
I don't believe in caste.
Alright then.
Shah Rukh's hairstyle from
Happy New Year, was fire, right?
He looks good.
Yeah.
You went out for a trim and came
back at sunset?
Idiot! Open the door!
You've embarrassed me
in front of the whole street!
Is this how you behave? Open up!
- Come out or I'll shave off your head!
- Listen.
Don't do that, dear.
People only shave their heads
when they take vows!
You're getting a proper clown
cut tomorrow!
What's wrong, Akhil? You look down.
Had a creative clash
with Dad last night.
About what?
I'll tell you later, it's sorted now.
- My grandad's not well, apparently.
- Really? How old is he?
- About 92.
- Wow, he's nearly hit nirvana!
- What?
- I mean, a century!
Tell me, what else
So, when are you telling your
dad about the Biotech thing?
I'll tell him tomorrow. It's my birthday.
Best of luck.
And you? When's your
career decision coming
I'll tell you that tomorrow,
as it's your birthday!
You'll be online at midnight, right?
- I've planned something for you.
- Really?
Yeah, make sure you're there.
I want to wish you first.
- Okay.
- Okay.
What's this?
That's my name, Daddy.
Khathyayani Akula.
Surname included, see?
I'm asking about this.
Oh, that? Self-love, Daddy.
Bloody hell.
You've only got three months till exams.
Stop wasting time on
all this cinema, park strolls,
Justin Bieber
and Ranbir Kapoor nonsense.
Hand over your phone.
Dad
I'll jot down your friends'
numbers. For notes.
Reduce stress?
You're brilliant at all these
useless hobbies.
Thanks, Dad.
REPLY?
What's going on? No reply?
Has your granddad passed away
or something? I'm getting nervous.
Reply!
Have you blocked me?
Are you dumping me, Khathyayani?
Looks like she blocked him,
it's a flop!
You have Anjali's number?
Is she my wife or what?
Why would I have her number?
Darn it!
REPLY ME
Hello? Khathyayani?
Why'd you block me?
I'm really sorry, Akhil.
My dad took my phone.
I blocked you because,
I was scared you might call.
Oh, that's it?
I was terrified something
bad had happened.
- Sorry. Anyway, tell me
- Happy birthday, Khathyayani.
Thanks, Akhil.
I sent you a video
on WhatsApp. Check it.
Call me after you've watched it.
Khathyayani, you've got three
surprises in this video.
First, I've decided to
do a BA in Journalism.
Second, up until now, I only knew how to
play Fr Elise and "Happy Birthday".
But this is my first
original composition.
This is only for you, Kaathu!
Who's that on the phone?
Who were you talking to?
No one, Dad.
Give me the phone!
- I'll whack you so hard!
- Okay.
What's the pin?
Speak up!
Don't know what this magic is, honestly
But when I see you
My heart skips a beat suddenly
Oh, my, this tiny little thing called love
Won't you love me back, my dove?
Just thinking about you, I go mad
Without you, I feel like I don't exist
You and only you are my every desire
You and only you are my life's fire
Yo, come on, come on, baby
You are my girl, yo!
Yo, come on, come on, baby
You are my soul
Come on, come on, baby
You are my world, yo!
Come on, come on, baby
Khathyayani, won't you fall for me?
I'm here just for you, only you!
Khathyayani, please love me
And I swear, I'll never listen to your dad
You are mine
And my surname is yours
I don't bother about your caste
I won't bother about your toothpaste
I got to know your taste
Come on, come on, baby
Khathyayani, you thought that was it?
There's a third surprise.
You'll go mad when you see it!
Hello, doctor
My heart has gone missing
What have you done, man?
Checked my pulse
It was beating fast
Khathyayani, won't you fall for me?
I'm here just for you, only you!
Khathyayani, please love me
And I swear, I'll never listen to your dad
Love me, bae Love me, bae
Come to me, my beautiful damsel
Give me a hug
All your assets are mine
The surname is yours
I don't bother about your caste
I won't look for your toothpaste
I got to your know taste now
Sir, please knock that crap!
How old are you?
I'll slap you into next week!
- I'm really sorry, sir.
- Why are you sorry, sir?
If you ever try to meet
or text her again, I'll batter you.
Why's he looking at me like that?
Hello, Father-in-law!
You wrote that song?
- And the music?
- That was me too, sir.
If you show this much dedication
in studies, you'll become an engineer.
Thanks to you, I've lost a client.
Sir, please don't call my dad.
He'll k*ll me, sir. Please.
- Sir, I'm begging you.
- Hello?
Your son's staring at girls and
writing songs, sir.
Her father came to complain.
Is this how you've raised him?
Take him out of this coaching center.
I've never seen such a disgraceful kid.
Please don't make me leave.
Sir, no, please.
See? Even your dad's apologizing
on your behalf.
Do you think he deserves this?
I'll deal with him
when we get home.
- I'll hang up then.
- Alright.
Sorry for the inconvenience, sir
Go home. You're done for.
Give me your phone!
Did you see my vision here?
That lecturer spoke such nonsense, he
made it sound like I'm a proper womanizer.
Akhil, what did you send to Khathyayani?
My uncle's just staring at me.
Did you send porn videos?
Kishore! Know what you're
accusing me of first!
What do you mean?
- Relax.
- Wait.
- Calm down.
- Let go, I'll deal with him.
Don't you stop!
You scoundrel...
You done now?
I'm mentally sending all those
to your mom, idiot!
No studies, no clue!
Still look at them
They won't care about anything!
Look at these clowns!
They don't have any fear
What's with this chaos?
Fell off a bike?
I don't believe it.
Yes, I fell off a bike. I was sitting
in the middle, and still got bruised.
Those bruises look
more like dog bites.
Mom! Show a little sympathy
instead of suspicion!
If you ever dare raise your voice again,
I'll slap you!
You touch a bike again, you're dead.
Bloody hell.
What happened to him?
Why is he covered in bruises?
You called his dad, didn't you?
He beat him to a pulp.
And you?
His dad's mad,
likes to beat both parties.
I shouldn't have called.
Big mistake.
- Hello?
- Hi, Auntie, is Khathyayani there?
Her phone's off.
She's studying. I'll ask her to
ring you after her exams.
Bye!
Where are you off to?
Sit down and study.
Love is so hard to handle
My life was crumbled
Where have you been
In my life now?
Khathyayani, did you have food?
Akhil, what sort of song is this?
Like a bone in fish
There's no medicine
for love, doctor!
All fathers-in-law are psychotics
Akhil, what sort of t*rture is this?
Khathyayani!
Won't you call me back?
Akhil, there is
No phone for me
Anjali, please, just one favor.
Give her this phone and the letter.
No, Akhil. I'm scared.
Please try to understand.
Why are you so scared, Anjali?
If I were a girl like you, I'd march
over and hand it straight to her.
I wouldn't be begging like this.
Please, Anjali. Just for me.
Please. Don't panic, it's simple.
Put this phone, charger,
and letter in your bag.
Go straight to her house,
ring the bell.
Her mom will open the door.
- Say, "Auntie, is Khathyayani in?"
- Auntie, is Khathyayani in?
She'll take you to her bedroom.
Hand her everything. Done.
Let's go to the room.
Why go into the bedroom, dear? Sit in
the living room, get some fresh air.
Worst case,
if her mom comes in, just say
Auntie, could I get some water?
While she's fetching water,
hand over the phone and letter.
Khathyayani, bring some water.
- She's too much, Akhil.
- Proper hawk-eyed woman! sh*t!
- Is your husband not home?
- No, honey. He went into town.
- Grandpa is unwell.
- Here's your water.
- Sorry, Akhil.
- What?
- Didn't you give her anything?
- Her mom was a proper nightmare.
She sat with us the whole time!
I even said, "Auntie, I smell gas!"
She goes
No, dear. It's not from our place.
We ran out of cooking gas at noon.
So, what else?
What did you study?
Done with chapter five.
Anjali.
- Don't take this the wrong way, but
- Go on, Auntie.
Did he send you?
To meet Khathyayani?
- Damn, she's sharp, caught it right away.
- Oh, my Lord. What guy?
Don't act clueless.
I know you know.
I swear I don't!
Believe me, Auntie, please.
Bless you, Anjali,
you're one of the good ones.
Just by looking at him,
I knew, he's a number one loafer.
She read him like a book!
I wonder what trick he played,
she's gone crazy for him!
Mom, I told you before,
I proposed to him first.
There's nothing wrong with him.
Please stop going on about it.
I said I'd not talk to him again, right?
In fact, we're off to Bengaluru.
Why do you keep bringing him up?
I'm trying to forget him,
but you keep reminding me!
Her mom kept yelling at her after that
Sorry, Akhil.
I couldn't give it to her.
I'm leaving. Bye.
Mom, I already told you,
I proposed to him.
Anyway, we're off to Bengaluru now.
I've already forgotten him.
Let's go.
You go, I'll come later.
Forget her, mate.
You've been moping too long.
Khathyayani's gone, move on.
This happens all the time.
Girls come and go. Treat her the same.
No, she's different.
- Totally different from others!
- Different?
How?
You tell me, what do I look like?
Average. Maybe slightly above.
So I'm not exactly handsome, right?
Then why'd she like me?
Come on, say it.
Am I clever?
A scholar? Do I even read?
I'm dumb as the rest of you!
Do I have talent?
Dance, sing, act? Nothing.
Have I done anything that makes
me look like I've got a future?
Nope.
- Say yes for his satisfaction, dude!
- Exactly!
Then why did she love me?
Her mom asked her if I tricked her
into falling in love with me?
But she said, "I proposed to him first.
He didn't chase me."
Who has the guts to admit that
to their mom? Do we? Not a chance.
If my pop, sorry, my dad even raises
his voice, I'd dump anyone on the spot.
That's why, she's different.
I'll never find another girl
like Khathyayani.
You saw what Sameera did, right?
That bloody-good-for-nothing witch!
She was just like every other fake.
But Khathyayani? One of a kind.
There's no turning back now.
He's right.
Why did she even love him?
I get it now. Girls go for the rich,
smart, good-looking ones.
But aunties, they want heart.
Instead of studying for your exams,
why are you wasting time, not even eating?
Mom, I'm upset. Don't you care?
You're asking me to study?
Do you have any empathy?
Upset about what?
What's wrong with you?
If there was a survey for moms who don't
understand their kids. You'd top the list.
I'm not doing engineering.
Then what?
Going to beg on the streets?
I will end up the same,
if I do engineering without interest!
- Then what do you want to do?
- I want to study BA Journalism.
I'll break your bloody teeth.
Stop the drama, and study engineering!
You'll naturally gain interest.
Fine, Mom, let me ask you this.
Imagine our Uncle Chunchu is arriving
at the station at 4:00 a.m.
And you asked me to pick him up.
How do you think I'd react?
You'll throw a tantrum.
Because you hate waking up early, right?
Exactly.
Now imagine this, Swathi, the pretty girl
who lives near Uncle Chunchu's house.
Remember her? That day she wore
a nose pin and a churidar.
Don't give me that look.
Mom, I'm just being honest.
I'm not a kid anymore. For the record,
that girl is genuinely beautiful.
I'm only giving a compliment.
Not saying I have feelings for her.
Now, say she's arriving at
the station at the same time.
And you've asked me to go pick her up.
Tell me, will I wake up then?
Frankly speaking, Mom,
I won't even sleep the night before!
There'd be excitement, some motivation.
Tell me the moral of this story!
The point is, goals need to excite us.
Only then do we work hard.
Goals should feel beautiful, Mom,
not disgusting like grenades!
This engineering course feels
exactly like Uncle Chunchu.
Please, Mom, I want to pursue journalism.
I swear on you, I'll study hard.
I'll study well, Mom.
Please convince Dad.
Just this once, Mom, please.
Do something for me, Mom.
I'll be born as your son
in the next life too!
No, son. Don't do that again.
I'll talk to your dad. But don't wish
to be born as my son again.
Dear, be honest with me now.
Tell me.
Let's say my brother, Chunchu is arriving
at 4:00 a.m. Would you pick him up?
Get lost.
Why on earth would I pick up that weirdo?
He's not a girl.
He can book a cab to our place.
Okay, now imagine your brother's
arriving from America at the same time.
- Would you go pick him up?
- Of course!
Because he's coming from the US!
Why? Is your brother
a girl or something?
- Hello?
- Hello, Akhil. It's me, Khathyayani.
Khathyayani?
Please come to the usual spot
near my house.
Why? What happened?
Don't ask.
Don't you dare compare it to that guy.
Will you listen to that idiot crap?
He's going to get it from me today.
Dear.
Listen, my grandad passed away.
My parents have gone to the village.
They left a nurse
to watch over me today.
She's in the washroom now.
This is her phone.
Don't call back on this number.
Just come quickly, okay?
Yeah.
Akhil.
Come out of that room! Idiot!
Open the door.
- Akhil, are you even listening?
- What to do now?
Come out now!
You stupid fellow, you dirty fellow!
Come outside, Akhil Akhil!
Don't push me, Akhil!
Akhil, open up!
You are dead today!
Akhil, open the door!
He isn't listening to me,
and you expect me to listen you?
Akhil, open the door now!
Dirty fellow, come out now!
- Akhil, are you deaf?
- Akhil!
Akhil! Don't instigate me!
Akhil, you weirdo.
Open the door now,
or else, I'll break...
Dad!
Madhu's grandad passed away, Dad.
- Oh, Lord, what have you done now?
- Akhil.
Why the hell is he crying over
someone else's granddad?
- What?
- He didn't even cry for his own grandad!
- Coming to tuition tomorrow? Okay.
- Around 5:00 p.m.?
- Or maybe a bit earlier, say 4:00? Okay.
- I'll be there too, okay?
Madhu, come to the spot!
Khathyayani just called.
Nikhil is coming. I'll go with him.
Come to the stationery shop.
Nikhil!
Come on!
- Come on, it's urgent.
- Where?
I'm not coming, buzz off.
Shut it and hop on.
- Get on!
- Where?
Okay, bye.
Let's meet tomorrow then.
finally get a queen today?
Slow down, Akhil.
Akhil, I'll tell Mom!
Pull over!
Will a local song ever win an Oscar?
And will that team
Ever lift the IPL trophy?
Will a thousand-rupee note
Be banned again?
Will a thousand-crore
Telugu film make a gain?
If we build a house over a lake
Who's coming to break it down then?
Is Khathyayani here?
We've just arrived.
Why isn't she here yet?
Maybe something's wrong?
Shall we go to her street?
Hold it, son.
Be patient.
She's coming!
Wow! Auntie's here in a maxi dress!
Gross. She's living up
to the auntie vibe.
- How are you?
- I'm alright, Akhil.
Told her that we're buying stationery.
- Can't stay long.
- Yeah, no problem.
Go get your stuff.
Go on, now.
- Where are you off to?
- What is it to you?
Idiot.
Aren't they adorable?
Adorable?
Look at them!
He's in shorts, she's in a maxi.
We should make a film!
Guy in Shorts, Gal in Maxi!
I'm really sorry for my
outburst the other day, Akhil.
It was chaos at home.
Did my dad say anything?
Did your parents find out too?
- Sorry.
- No, I managed it.
I was terrified your dad might thrash you.
All sorted now.
How are you doing?
Are you really moving to Bengaluru?
- Yes.
- Things exploded at home.
Why'd you tell them I proposed first?
If they sense that,
you proposed me first,
forget your dad,
my dad would skin me alive!
It was a nightmare.
My mom is glued to me 24/7 now.
Dad watches that video every day.
I was petrified.
- Is he here now?
- No, chill.
The nurse is at home.
My parents are in Nellore.
What if your mom calls the nurse?
No worries,
I hid her phone in that gap.
She won't find it.
Oh, we're made for each other!
What's this shorty up to?
- What's your name?
- Neelambari.
Oh, nice name.
- And yours?
- Narasimha!
Why is her sister laughing?
Poor Uncle Gopal Rao!
What sort of sons does he have!
One son's a 420 scammer,
the other's an 840 madman.
- What grade are you in?
- Seventh grade.
Thank God, you are younger to me!
I'm in eighth grade.
Come here.
Ignore him, he's a clown.
Such a crap he is!
The family is full of nutters.
Ignore the younger one.
They're having a serious convo!
Go eavesdrop.
- Wait up, man.
- We're moving to Bengaluru next month.
We won't be able to meet anymore.
Even talking will be tough.
Hello?
Oh, no.
- What's that, Khathyayani?
- She's breaking up with him.
Told you, didn't I? Looks like
they are moving to Bengaluru.
- Oh my, is it?
- It is what it is!
All girls are the same.
You bet on their love story
and Baahubali for the Oscars.
Baahubali 2 will bag Oscar
for sure this time!
Mind this, Rajamouli won't win an Oscar,
will be a failure like their love story.
Feeling bad for him, poor lad.
- I wonder what she is saying.
- Shall I dub what she's saying?
I know these types of girl convos.
Leave me, Akhil,
It's not going to work.
I won't let you go, Akhil.
Let's work this out!
"I'm sorry, Akhil.
I can't hurt my parents."
I don't care about my parents'
opinion regarding my marriage!
Let's separate, Akhil.
Why should we separate, Akhil?
My dad doesn't like this.
Will my dad marry you or what?
Forget me, Akhil.
I can't forget you, Akhil.
It's over, Akhil. It's over.
I love you, Akhil.
I love you too, Khathyayani.
It's done, lads.
It's time for Motichur laddus! See.
Keep this phone with you!
She's nicking that Nokia!
Where are they going?
Cover me once.
What's happening there?
- Where's the charger?
- I've got it.
Time to leave, Akhil.
Look at that lovely farewell.
- Neelu, let's go.
- Yes?
Neelu?
Bye, water!
- Bye!
- Neelu?
Make a Facebook profile,
NightmanNikhil23 is mine.
Send a friend request.
- Bye.
- Bye
Message when you reach.
Take care.
- I love you.
- I love you too, Akhil!
Bye.
- Bye.
- I got this girl!
- What did she say?
- Your dubbing's rubbish!
She said, "You're in my heart, Akhil."
Look how happy he is!
Look how he's grinning like a lunatic.
- We're doing long-distance now, Uncle.
- Bloody hell!
Madhu's grandpa passed
ten years ago, right?
Where have you been all this time?
Well, Dad. I ran away because
I was terrified of your shouting.
Oh! Alright I won't raise
my voice now, just tell me.
Are you planning to do your graduation?
What do you mean?
Speak clearly.
Couldn't you even manage
to get into engineering?
Then what can you do?
What on earth have you done
with your life all these years?
Just name one thing you've
done with full confidence.
Nothing. Since you were little, whenever
I asked what you wanted to become,
you'd say, Like the thief from Dhoom!
You don't know how
to study, you have no skills,
Can't play sports, can't sing,
dance, or act, or anything.
Except for that daft
Happy Birthday jingle.
And that Fr Elise, which is
literally the reverse tone of my car!
Dad!
I'm telling you now,
because I finally found the courage.
I didn't show this earlier
because I was scared of you.
- Come, Dad. Let me show you.
- What?
The song, composition, singing, lyrics,
choreography, editing, it's all mine.
Madhu helped with direction and planning.
Watch it once, Dad.
Don't know what this magic is, honestly
But when I see you
My heart skips a beat suddenly
Oh, my, this tiny little thing called love
Won't you love me back, my dove?
Just thinking about you, I go mad
Without you, I feel like I don't exist
Come on, come on, baby
You are my girl
Yo, come on, come on
Baby, you are my soul
Come on, come on, baby
You are my world, yo!
Come on, come on, baby!
Hey, who's this girl?
She's a model, Dad.
From Malkajgiri.
Did you get her parents'
permission to use her picture?
Yes, Dad, they were actually thrilled.
They watch it regularly.
Love me, bae Love me, bae
Love me, bae Love me, bae
Come to me, my beautiful damsel
Give me a hug
You asked me if I ever did something
with real talent. Well, this is it.
I learnt editing, music,
and everything online, all by myself.
Please, Dad, give me one chance.
I want to do Mass Communication.
I'll give it my all.
I promise I won't score below 80%.
Please, Dad. Just this once.
Please, Dad.
Imagine this, Dad, if Uncle Chunchu
were coming to the station...
Knock it off!
Your mom already told me
that ridiculous story.
What a pathetic analogy!
I'll think about it.
Copy the video onto my phone, will you?
Oh, God.
- Is it that song again?
- Buzz off!
"You are my girl, my girl"
Seriously?
What? Your dad is dancing to it?
To that cringe worthy thing?
You guys ruined an entire
year of my life.
All for your bloody long-term prep,
thanks to you and your dad.
Sorry, man.
Why don't you just join BA with me, then?
Fair enough, Your girlfriend's
joining the college too, right?
- Yeah.
- Man, just be careful.
Girls change the minute
they enter college.
New crowd, new mates.
Come on, Khathyayani's a good one.
But Bengaluru's dodgy, mate.
Keep an eye out.
By the way,
which course is she picking?
- Biotechnology, Dad.
- What's this, Geetha?
Please, Dad. I didn't get a medical
seat, did I?
I'm hopeless, Dad.
Just try and understand.
Please.
- Mom, I'm sorry.
- What is it now?
Fine, but promise me one thing.
Swear you'll never contact him again.
He's still stuck in my head.
Alright, I promise, Dad.
I won't meet him
or speak to him again.
In fact, I've forgotten him ages ago.
You're the ones
always bringing him up!
Stay in the hostel and focus
on your studies.
Hostel? Why, Mom?
You'll never understand our
worth until you leave home.
You'll get it once you're there.
And you're going to a women's college.
What? Women's college?!
What a depressing place!
I've heard all sorts about that lot.
It's not like that. It'll be fine.
Right then, I'll ring you later.
If I stay in the bathroom
too long, they'll get suspicious.
Alright, later.
Father-in-law!
You know where my loyalty lies, love you!
Thanks to Jio, communication is
a breeze for couples like us.
Even WhatsApp video calls
are working great.
As it's just for us.
Mom, stop making okra from now on.
Cook Ivy gourd instead.
People say it helps with memory.
Akhil, I want to meet you!
Even I feel the same!
Why're you doing
this part-time job, man?
If I earn some cash, I can travel
and meet Khathyayani, right?
Used to steal chocolates
from this very supermarket.
Now I'm an employee here.
Dad, my mates are planning a trip
to Chennai for an internship.
No need for that.
Dad, I got 70%! Can I go
to Vizag with friends, just for fun?
We said 80%, didn't we?
No, son.
I prayed at Tirupati for your
promotion and my 80% score.
We're going.
Don't you believe in God, Dad?
We are going, Dad!
I'm coming to Bengaluru!
If this path melts away completely
Shall I send along my dreams with it?
If loneliness lasts this long
I'll be at the cinema in half an hour.
I'll be there in 20!
Does your phone have a signal?
Check it, mate.
Where is she?
Please, man
There she is!
It's beyond happiness
Madhu's prediction about
Baahubali 2 was wrong!
Because of Baahubali in 2017,
the Pan-India trend got started.
2018. Kerala floods
ruined everything.
2019, Pulwama attacks.
2020. COVID shook the world.
In all these years, many changes occurred,
but two things stayed constant.
First is the Modi government, and second,
the love story of Akhil and Khathyayani.
Our story begins here
Half of it is you, half of it is me
This is the moment
That reveals it all
When two hearts meet as one
This instant becomes eternal
If this path melts away completely
Shall I send along my dreams with it?
If loneliness lasts this long
Will it at least lead me to your doorway?
In this tiny heart
I've searched for my place
So many days without finding
At last, your name and mine
Dude, change the beat!
In love, women must be
the stronger ones.
Because no matter how strong a man is,
he's still powerless alone.
Khathyayani stayed strong,
like a steel rod.
Nikhil.
Nikhil.
Nikhil!
- Yes, Dad?
- Button up your shirt.
And that earring, looks like a girl's.
But it suits me,
doesn't it, Dad?
- Neelambari.
- Yes, Dad?
The only reason I'm okay with
this wedding is
because they've got money.
Same as us.
The only reason I'm okay with
this wedding is
because they've got money.
Same as us.
Don't worry, Dad.
I won't be like Akhil.
I'll love whoever you choose.
I'll slap you, idiot.
Sort out the engagement
arrangements. Move!
Thanks.
Hi, Water!
Remember me?
