[Commentator] Last round of the game. Red is hurt badly,
Struggling to get back. Blue has been dominating all the other rounds.
[punching sounds] [Commentator] Red tries to dodge back and gives powerless punches.
[punching sounds]
[Commentator] That’s a blow!
Blue is again showing his aggression.
Red is struggling to retaliate, losing out balance and command over his game.
Red tries to throw him in the corner!
[punching sounds]
Blue pushes him hard.
[Referee] No, don’t push. It’s a warning.
[Commentator] Warning from the referee.
[Referee] Ready? Ready, boxer? [Commentator] Blue is completely taking charge of the game.
[Referee] Ready? Come on! [Commentator] And Red bounce back.
[Referee] Box!
[Commentator] There goes again!
[punching sounds] Blue chose his upper head.
Punch after punch, red is trying to get back onto the game.
[punching and panting] Blue is totally dominating Red.
Red looks tired.
[punching sounds] Good shots and a heavy overthrow!
And Red is on the floor.
[Bell chimes] There goes the bell, and that’s the end. Referee calls for the doctor.
[sobbing]
I am unable to focus.
I am unable to accept my failures.
Don’t look down upon failures.
It is not your success, but your failures, that will make you a champion in the future.
[coughs]
If it were easy to win a championship, there would be no room for any more success stories.
Fight to win over the loss,
and you’ll win. You’ll win over yourself.
[Interviewer] One last question.
[Interviewer] Did you ever question yourself about why you had to choose this profession?
Back then, I didn’t have any other option to choose from.
[Interviewer] What about now?
I cannot see any other.
[Interviewer] You have told everything, but why prefer concealing your face?
Only a few know that I'm a prostitute.
I don't want to make it public.
[Interviewer] But why?
I too want to lead a normal life, like every other woman.
Marriage, family, kids.
Wish it happens!
[Interviewer] Do you have someone in your heart?
Aren't you ashamed to be here when your wife is critical on the hospital bed?
Is there someone at the hospital to take care of her?
I asked the watchman’s wife to look after her for today.
I am guilty of not being by her side, Guna.
But I can’t just leave all the work around here and go, right?
Brother Velu needs me.
Your absence won’t halt the work here!
If something bad happens to Vidya, you would become the caretaker of your daughter.
You would have to give up this work anyway, right?
Better do it now and spend some time with Vidya. She’ll feel happy about it.
Vidya doesn't like you working here. You should at least be by her side during these hardships.
[phone rings]
Tell me, boss.
[Velu] Dilip, Shatru’s brother, Kali is in the garage near our workshop.
Go there after an hour, once they get drunk.
Take a few of our men along with you, if needed.
Not necessary. I will take care of it.
Dilip
Dilip! Wait...
[Dogs barking]
Hey!
Hey wait, Dilip!
Kaali!
[punches and grunts]
Stop. Stop it. [punches and grunts]
[camera shutters]
[Radha Kaise Na Jale is playing on the radio] [Grandmother chanting a prayer]
[Grand Mother] Yamini, enough of getting dressed up. Make it quick!
Wait, I will be there.
[Grand Mother] The breakfast is turning cold.
Give me some time, will you? [murmurs] Torturing with the breakfast calls! Ugh!
[grandmother chanting a prayer, bell rings]
Hello
Are you coming to meet me today, at least?
Alright, I am starting now.
See you at the station in 20 minutes, okay?
What, another of your excuses that you have been giving me for the last two days?
You are coming today and it is decided. 9:30 sharp, okay?
Bye
[Grandmother] Sit and eat.
[Grand Mother] Where are you going again?
She has become a trouble lately!
[grandmother gets back to chanting]
Don’t you have the courtesy to call back when I cut the call out of anger?
Don't try to manage it like you always do.
If you don’t show up today, I will head straight to your home!
Don’t provoke me now. I will really bunk the college and....(Phone hangs up)...Hello.
Hello?
[Grandmother] Hmm. Sit and eat.
[Grandmother continues chanting prayer]
Why are you leaving so soon ?
I don’t want anything. You have it yourself.
Don’t shout unnecessarily.
[sarcastically] If my teeth were healthy, I would have had them myself.
Why would I feed you?
Harish!
Yes, dad?
Come and eat properly.
Only if you have your food rightly will studies get to your head!
Who likes to study, anyway?
By the way, I’m not going to college today. I’m going to Yash’s house.
Didn't he quit college?
What work do you have at his house?
Nothing with his house, it is him whom I have a work with.
Does he live alone?
You don’t have to worry about that. Nothing is going to happen.
Why did you change your dress now?
He likes this color.
What do you want me to tell your father?
Manage something. Bye.
Here! Listen!
Bye, dad.
Mother,
won’t she attend the college?
[Chants prayers and dodges the question]
[phone rings]
Yes. Tell me?
Inform Velu brother that I don’t need stock anymore, Guna.
I’m quitting my job.
You finally realized what I have been telling you!
Let me know if there is any work that I can do. I am financially troubled.
I will look into it.
I’ll send you some money for now.
Don’t waste them for your pleasures. Get something for your daughter.
Understood?
Hmm. See You.
Give me a minute.
Tadaaaaa!
How is it?
I cannot see anything.
Tell me.
Where do you want to go? Want to have Pani Poori?
No
Why are you looking sad?
Vanita Mam made me kneel down outside the classroom.
Is it?
What mischief did you do?
I didn't do anything. You haven’t paid the term fees yet.
Ohhhh...nana
Are you all ready?
Hey, Let’s Go.
Pick a direction for your journey and keep moving.
You own every second. Keep Moving.
Struggles surrounding stop you
If you are passionate enough, even struggles are worth embracing!
Oh—Ohh!
Some people get laid. Some people deny.
Some people love and some others will die.
Some people set goals. Some people survive.
Some people cry while some others just smile.
Oh-Oh-Oh...
Hey!
No matter the extent of pain you go through,
Will it stop your dreams that never get tired from chasing you?
Your past teaches you lessons. Oooh Oohh..!!
And the past is always twisted. ooh ohh!!
Some people get laid. Some people deny.
Some people love and some others will die.
Some people set goals. Some people survive.
Some people cry while some others just smile.
[Song Ends]
Why are you so late?
Was jamming for the show.
Have you not slept yet? Not yet.
I have been waiting for you.
How do I contact you if your phone is switched off?
The phone’s battery died.
Give me a spare key from tomorrow, you don’t have to wait for me.
Not required.
You barely stay put at home. If you get a key for yourself, we wouldn’t even know about your whereabouts.
Have something and then go to bed!
I had food outside. You sleep.
Good night!
Why is he late?
He had a show.
Did he eat something?
He said he had it outside.
Hello,
Where are you?
I just entered, where are you?
I’m at the platform. Where are you?
Okay. I’m at concourse, wait there.
Come to platform 1.
Hey, look up. Here.
Hi!
I thought you wouldn't make it.
Even I thought the same, but I got worried that you would come home.
You should have a little fear. I would have done it, if you were a little late.
Okay. Leave now, your train is about to depart.
You just came, come with me.
Huh? Where? Everyone is looking at us, leave me!
Let them look. Come.
Where are you dragging me?
What’s the hurry? I won’t bite, don’t worry. It is a punishment for being late.
Come with me to the college.
What do I do there? Leave now.
You don’t have any other option. Come. I said leave.
Get down
Come!
Why don't you walk me to college?
Aren't you ashamed?
Focus on your studies, not on me.
Eight backlogs already,
Clear them first.
Okay. I will study.
Give me a hug and you can go your way.
I will not disturb you till tomorrow.
Hmm?
Alright, come here.
Okay. Done.
For some more time! Pretty please!
Leave me!
I will call you in the evening. Pick it up.
I won’t attend it. Call someone from your college instead.
Its declined Sir.
How much did you say?
It's four twenty six rupees Sir.
I am short of six rupees. I will pay later.
It is alright.
[phone rings]
Tell me.
Guna,
I am in an urgent need of ten thousand rupees.
I will pay you back later.
You don't have to lie about paying back. Just ask me for the money directly.
My daughter is asking for a bicycle. Could you lend me some money?
Okay. I will send it with Moorthy. Collect it from him.
Meanwhile, I will look for some job opportunities for you.
Don’t rush and get back to that shabby business!
Okay, Guna.
Alright.
What are your plans?
Nothing
Will you be home?
I don’t know
Do you want me to look out for a job for you?
[sigh] Based on which qualifications?
It’s not difficult to get a forged degree.
I’m not interested.
Then what else do you want to do?
Music?
I don’t know.
Look
I’m not expecting anything from you.
You do not have to take everything personally.
Think practically.
You might not be interested in building your career.
But that doesn’t mean you can stay this way forever, right?
Everyone has to work at some point of time. The quicker you decide, the better it is.
[sarcastically] Nice!
You have started being concerned about us lately!
When did you start taking responsibility for my life, dad?
As if I am your only son!
You have other responsibilities too, right?
You set your wrong deeds right first, and then advise me about things.
I will listen then.
No matter what happened in my life, I have never ignored you and your mother.
I have never changed as a person.
It is not me who needs this explanation.
She thinks that you head to our home directly post office.
Sadly, she is not aware about the other house that you own.
I thought you would understand me.
You should have thought about this before setting up another fam...
...Before setting up another family. Didn’t you think of morality then?
Mom is making dosa downstairs. Go and eat.
[Coach] Move up. Pad up, pad up, pad up.
[Coach] Pace it up, come on!
Pace it up, come on!
[Coach] Relax.
[Coach coughing]
Hey!
I spoke to manager Srinivas.
He is promoting talent to the national team.
He knows how to handle careers very well.
He will soon visit with the sponsors.
Be prepared for the fight.
This time around, show your character. Not your emotion.
Hey! Seems like you lost it all?
Yes, bro!
Cigarette?
What's the situation like inside?
Betting is going on full swing.
I'll give it to you in return.
Hey, Dilip.
I haven’t seen you here for a long time. What’s up?
Season has just started, right!
By the way, what are the odds?
80-85.
SRH are the favorites.
Not the ratio that you give to everyone but,
what is my special ratio?
The match is in its final overs.
On whom do you want to bet though?
RCB
Okay, I'll give you 90, it’s difficult above that.
Done
Here! Eight thousand on RCB.
I’ll play two thousand on table betting.
Do you have change?
Change…?
Never mind! I’ll manage.
I closed the betting.
Guard the gate and make sure nobody enters.
Hey...
Bring me a special.
Ready Brother.
[Cricket commentary being heard]
One or two? I put in two, brother
Bet.
Six.
Wicket.
Luck is on your side, Dilip.
[Song playing in the car]
Shatru! Move aside.
Get down, Dilip, we need to talk.
Shatru,
I’ve quit the work.
We have nothing to talk about. Move your bike.
Neither am I here for words, Dilip.
Look! What happened has happened.
I have nothing to do with it now. Just get lost.
Why did you bring him?
Is it to have revenge?
How can I trust you, Dilip?
What if you counter attack? I can’t fight you alone right!
Believe me when I say I quit, Shatru.
Anyways, it doesn't take me much time to beat you guys up.
Move your vehicle.
My daughter is alone at home. I should get going.
What are you doing here leaving your daughter alone at home, Dilip?
Whom did you threaten and extort money from?
Why don’t you believe me?
Will you not retaliate if I hit you now?
Don’t provoke me. Please move aside.
Enough! Get going.
We aren’t yet done, Dilip. You owe us a lot.
You said you quit. Then where did this money come from?
Hey! These are for my daughter’s school fees.
It doesn't take much time for you to earn money. Snatch them from someone.
Please, listen to me!
Consider this as a return gift for what you have done.
Shatru!
Go home and look after your daughter, Dilip
Those are my daughter’s school fees, man!
What’s up? Why are you following me?
How old are you?
Twenty three.
What do you want?
I understand that you are young.
Don’t follow me around.
If you are so desperate, look out for someone else.
I don’t encourage kids.
Stop tailing me around. Leave now!
Why?
I know what you are. But I’m not following you for sex.
Then?
It may sound a little cinematic.
I feel like looking at you,
I feel like talking to you.
When I look at you, I get some unknown....
I cannot put it in words.
I don’t want anything.
But I’ll wait for you everyday.
Can you spend five minutes with me?
Just five minutes. That’s it.
I’ll not disturb you afterwards.
Please.
Look!
I don’t know where I would be at any given time.
This is not a government job to have standard time and place.
No one ever spoke to me this way.
In the evening, wait for me at Paradise station.
I’ll meet you if I can.
But don’t follow me around like this.
Go!
Hmm. Bye.
[Song playing in the background] So many random thoughts in my mind.
So many random wishes in my heart.
I can see the distance shorten.
You came to my shore like a wave.
It’s the time you win your hardships.
It’s the time your dreams come true.
My mind is restless even in my dreams.
I couldn’t rest despite finding answers to my questions.
So many random thoughts in my mind
So many random wishes in my heart.
I can see the distance shorten.
You came to my shore like a wave.
It’s the time you win your hardships.
It’s the time your dreams come true. Ahhh….ahhh….
[Song Ends]
Do you always roam around with your guitar?
This is the only thing I know.
I keep roaming around seeking inspiration from my surroundings or from interesting people.
I try to portray that emotion through the tunes I play on the guitar.
What did you think of me when you first saw me?
I’ll play it for you, soon.
How long have you been playing for?
Never been to college. Didn’t study. I don’t know what else to do.
This is the only thing I know, suits my name-
Raag.
When can I listen?
Don’t expect a lot from me, please. I will play to you whatever I know.
Okay, I will take a leave.
I don’t feel like going home.
I’ll wait here.
Once you get done with your job, I’ll walk you home.
[coach instructing] Harder. Harder.
Good
Go for it, go for it.
Faster. Faster, now.
One minute.
Hi
Hey. Come here.
What are you doing here?
I came to see you.
I lied to my dad that I have a special class and came here directly after college.
Where were you till now?
I noticed that you were practicing intensely.
I didn't feel like disturbing, so was waiting out.
Wait. I will drop you home. It’s ok.
I will wait.
You finish your practice.
Wait.
Come. I’ll drop you.
Introduce me to your coach.
He is a little psyche.
Come.
Stop waving your hand. Come.
Full of sweat. Take your hands off.
It’s ok. Feels good.
Why is your coach so serious?
I think he got scared looking at your braids.
Please don’t repeat this hairstyle again. [laughs]
He doesn’t believe in love.
He feels like it is a diversion.
In a way, he is right.
You should be blessed to have a girl like me.
Are you looking down on me because I genuinely love you and keep falling behind you? Why do you so much of an attitude?
You don’t have to take the burden.
Why don’t you look out for someone else?
I don’t need your senseless advice. I know what has to be done.
Focus on the road.
What are you doing here. Go out. I need to change.
Where were you?
Why do you care?
Who is he?
It’s none of your business.
What’s happening?
Do you know the consequences if Dad comes to know about this?
Let him know.
We don’t have anything between us.
Oh
are you roaming around the city on his bike in the middle of the night without having anything between you both?
Tell me, who is he?
I don’t care to talk. Do whatever you want.
Don’t take your lenience for granted.
Are you Done?
Get out.
I know how to find out who is he. I’ll figure out.
Don’t do anything stupid. He will bash you up.
Hey
Listen to me. Leave from here.
I need to meet Velu once, Guna. Take me there.
You wouldn’t be respected if you go again after declining.
Hey, feed the dog with something.
I’ve done a lot to Velu.
I am in debts now. I am sure that he would consider my situation. If not for me, he would at least think about my daughter.
He always uses people for his own benefit.
Do you still trust him?
I’m in need, Guna.
I don’t have any other way.
How are you, Ramu?
I’m good Dilip.
Stack these in the warehouse. Okay
Where is Velu?
He is inside.
How are you Subramanyam? I’m good.
Look
Document work is little heavy.
Pay five lakhs at the counter before leaving.
Greetings, Velu.
Greetings.
How are you, Dilip?
I’m good.
Been here after a while.
Get Paaya to Dilip.
It’s okay. I am good.
Paaya is very healthy for a bake fast.
By the way,
What is it? Water board.
Yes. Water board.
Tell Dakshina Moorthy to cut the water supply in our area for a week.
Our tankers are lying idly.
Send them all of our water tankers and collect money.
I always serve the troubled public, Dilip.
Anyway, you don't need an apartment to meet me, Dilip.
Even I told the same thing Velu,
But he was hesitating a bit.
There is no need to hesitate Dilip.
What can I do for you?
My situations very bad, boss.
I don't even have the money to pay the school fee of my daughter.
I don’t have anything else to do.
[hesitantly] That is why, I have decided to start my own business in the same line.
What kind of business?
The same work that i have been doing with you.
I have good control in all the public service offices.
I can crack the deal with projects and contracts. I would get good percentage.
Is it your idea Guna?
Even I was unaware of it, Velu. Just got to know.
Go-ahead Dilip.
You are good at this.
You know this line of business better than all of us.
Start with your business.
I wouldn’t look at you as my competitor.
You are my prodigy.
You have all my support.
Just wanted to inform you before starting the business.
Why do you have to hesitate in front of me, Dilip?
Hey!
I am proud that my prodigy is my equal now.
Have this.
It’s ok. Thanks.
Take it, Dilip.
Consider it as a first business profit.
Pay your daughter’s school fee.
Thanks boss.
No…What is it?
No Mention.
Yes yes. Mention Mention.
How can you support him when he is a competitor Boss?
Let us see what he can do.
Are you stupid? Have you lost it?
You want to be the competitor to Velu when he is already having a strong hold?
Do you think he will let it happen?
I’m not a competitor.
I want to be independent.
I don’t think he has any problem with the decision.
He is a hypocrite. He won’t let it happen.
You said you wanted to find a new job. What is all this now?
If I knew that you were up to this same shit again, I wouldn’t have brought you here.
You promised Vidya that you would not get into all this. Do you remember?
I promised her that I won't work with Velu.
Not that I wouldn’t work independently.
Even she is aware that I’m not fit for any other job.
You are in a great risk.
I don’t have any other option than taking a risk.
He won’t care about this coach unless he’s needy.
I won’t care about the potholes until it rains.
There is no rules on how to fight in Boxing,
but there are hundred rules on how not to fight.
You have covered almost all of those.
Drunkards would only see the flaws.
You are the one who trained, right?
Anyway, what did the sponsors tell?
They will send the agreement after finishing all the formalities.
Your actual test has just begun. Start working.
[coach coughs]
[Bombay Movie scene playing on TV]
[Phone vibrates] [Bombay Movie scene playing on TV]
Hello
[Yash] Come to your terrace.
Stop joking. Where are you?
I’m here. Come fast.
Really? I’m coming.
What is this suddenly?
How did you come? What if someone sees us?
Let them see.
Are you scared?
I’m not scared. I’m just surprised to see you.
Get down. I’ll tell you
You look different.
You got the sponsors? Yes
What happened?
Will you fight regularly from now?
Yes. Why?
You would get hurt.
This time it wouldn’t be me, but my opponent who would get hurt.
It would be good if the world is dark all the time-
Without any lights-
Without being able to see one another.
What would you do in the darkness?
No one would see and judge our deeds.
We could live however we want.
We could do whatever we want.
We could be with the person we like.
No hypocrisy
Black or White. Right or Wrong. Thats it.
Only your true colors.
You are young. You have a bright future.
Why do you waste your time with me?
[Smirks]
Can I hold your hand?
What’s wrong in being with you?
That you are a prostitute?
That’s also a profession.
When situations put us to test, there is nothing wrong with choosing our way of survival.
No one has a right to say it’s wrong.
Everyone sells themselves in their own way.
We know what we are.
I don’t know if it is right or wrong to be with you nowadays.
Don’t think much.
Nothing’s wrong with doing what you like.
Will you take me home?
I want to see your place.
Not today. Sometime later.
I’ve never taken anyone home other than the ones close to me
Then I think I could come
It’s getting late, you leave now.
Hmm, good night.
Goodnight.
Mom, I had my dinner out.
You don’t have to wait for me. Have your dinner.
I’ll eat with your dad.
You fresh up and come down
Don’t wait for him, you have it.
I waited for so long, I could wait for some more time.
Thanks
I am not seeing you around nowadays?
I knocked at your door quite a few times, sir. No one opened.
This month’s maintenance bill, sir.
Hmm, the maintenance bill is increasing every month.
It’s Summer, sir. Requires too many water tankers.
I wanted you tell you something.
You said that only two people live at your place.
But there is someone who visiting often when you are not around, sir.
I didn’t know how to communicate it to you...
...Neighbors are also feeling a little uncomfortable.
Just wanted to let you know about the affair.
He is my father.
[Mother] I think he is here.
Mom!
I'm in the kitchen.
One more dosa.
Congrats!
Your mother told that you got a sponsorship.
Come, join us.
Let me know once he is gone.
[Door slams]
I think he is a little stressed-out.
I'll get him, you carry on.
Yash!
Finish your bath and come for dinner.
Is he gone?
Speak a little lower, he can hear.
I want him to hear, and why did he come here?
Wasn’t he fed at his house?
This is his house too.
I invited him for dinner.
Think before you speak.
At least, ask why he’s here.
He should have some common sense. People are spitting on the relationship.
If he wants to come, tell him to come permanently.
No one would have any problem
Does it look good if he sneaks around like this?
It’s not about him, you should be blamed for encouraging all this.
Please, wait! Finish your dinner, at least.
It’s ok.
I’ll take a leave.
Let me know if he needs something.
Are you reading?
Hmm.
Is it good?
Hmm.
Do you want it?
Can I take it home?
No.
You would stop visiting me if you take them home.
You would visit me for these books, at least.
What will you do with all these books?
At least, you’ll stay longer for these books.
By the way, how’s Diya?
Good.
What Happend?
I’ve prepared dinner for Diya.
She must be hungry.
I'll leave now.
Wait.
I’ve cooked Kheema for you, have your dinner before you leave.
(Mani Ratnam’s Gharshana Scene playing on TV)
You are here?
Freshen up, we’ll have dinner together.
I had my dinner.
I am a little tired, I will go rest.
You please go-ahead.
Sorry mom.
[Yamini singing a melody song, phone vibrates]
[Bell rings]
Should I come later?
No, no. He is not a customer.
Wait, I will see him off and come back.
Raag,
I have got some work to do. I understand,
It is alright.
I am getting late too.
See you later. Bye.
Coach!
Coach, did you see my glove around here?
Coach!
Who knows where this drunkard is!
I remember leaving it here...
[Humming a song from a film named ‘Thammudu’]
Hey!
You are using my glove, who the hell are you?
They are good.
Can’t you box without these?
Where are you from?
I will buy you something else if you want. Play with that.
Now, give me that glove.
[Hesitant sigh]
First of all, who are you?
Dropping off every day... Hugging on the terrace...
I know it all.
Oh...
So, you are Yamini’s brother, huh?
[Sigh]
She told me about you.
What now?
Let’s do one thing.
I will keep them safely at my house.
Tell my dad about whatever is going on between you both, and collect them, okay?
Okay, I will come.
It is time for my practice. Give them.
[Hesitant sigh]
Can’t you understand what I am saying?
Is boxing more important to you than my sister?
Come to my home and take them.
Hey!
Don’t play with me. Give me those.
Get lost!
I told you that I will come, right? I will come.
[Breathing heavily]
Here.
We had a new class teacher today. She is asking the occupation of our fathers.
What do I tell her?
It’s alright, I will make up something.
Diya...
Tell that I am a ‘Public Broker’.
Eh?
Get on with your work.
Turn this way.
[Exclaims in pain] It’s enough.
It will obviously burn.
[Exclaims in pain] Take it slow.
Picking up fights with random people and getting beaten up, that’s all you do these days.
I have been meaning to tell you, but he has already created a scene.
Who is he?
Is he a student of your college?
He used to be, but he left mid-way.
Why is that?
He wants to pursue boxing.
You mean the sport in which people punch each other’s face, is it?
Mother, please wait.
Who is his father?
I don’t know.
What does he do?
Do you know his name, at least?
No idea.
Why don’t you ask him directly?
They worship Jesus, it seems.
[Exclaims in shock]
Who are, “They”?
Him, and his mother.
What about his father?
His mom and dad never got married.
How is he a ‘dad’ then?
Don’t you think through?
What do you want to make of me in the society?
Do you see what your granddaughter has done as a result of all the pampering? [sighs and mumbles] This is a society!
How do you expect me to walk with my head held high?
Greetings, uncle.
I am the one who hit him.
He asked me to come to your house and speak to you.
That is why I am here.
Sit down.
Look
I don’t know what is going on between you both,
but we are not fond of all these.
We have certain principles and you wouldn’t understand them even if I told you,
...because your beliefs differ from that of ours.
I have a certain dignity in this society,
and if it has to be protected, all of this should stop right now.
You are young, and have rushed into things without thinking through.
Anyway, forgetting is not really difficult.
So, forget it.
Principles are required, uncle.
I believe in principles irrespective of our biases and differences.
A while ago, you told that our beliefs differ.
Is it about religion?
Is that your problem?
Even if I don’t bother about religion, the society will,
But my concern is about your family, your mom.
You are old enough to understand.
Your mother raised a child without ever marrying.
It is against my morals to associate my daughter with such a family.
How, uncle?
Without the slightest of hesitation...
How can you be so judgmental without knowing anything about my mother?
What is it that you pride in, belittling us?
It’s good that he asked me to talk to you.
Else, I would have never known about the person you are.
After speaking to you, I have come to realize that she doesn’t have any quality of yours.
My respect for her has just increased.
If I ever take someone to my home, it would be your daughter.
You do not have to steal my glove or guard if you want to speak with me again.
Just give me a call and I will be here.
It’s not always right to walk with your head held high, uncle.
Sometimes, it is necessary to lower your head and walk.
Hello
Hello. Sir, this is Dilip.
I started working independently.
Give me your project and I will look into it.
I can do whatever you need.
Your documents will be ready within a week.
This is not as a competition against Velu.
It is pure business.
I can work with just fifty percent of whatever you pay him.
Please give me a chance and see for yourself, sir.
Hello. Sir, that... hello...
[Song plays in the background] Is there any way for you to find out what happened?
Has every second remained a question in this moment?
[Humming]
Tears flow like waves in my eyes
My mind is filled with your disturbing cries
Yash! Come, let us have some food.
What, did you start taking pills again?
No, mother.
Just to be on the safe side...
[Mom] Get some rest if you feel stressed
Stop with the pills!
Hello, sir.
I started off independently...
[Phone- voiceover:] Venu will look into all the necessities, Dilip. You are not needed.
[Song plays in the background] If one has their own unfulfilled desire
Will there be a way that shows you your daringness?
Is there any way for you to find out what happened?
Has every second remained a question in this moment?
Listen, it was one guy first and now it is two.
If we just sit around here and watch you, you’ll bring in a third person someday.
It would be good for us all if you vacate the house.
[Humming]
Tears flow like waves in my eyes
My mind is filled with your disturbing cries
The way this shore has gone far away will not change
You shouldn’t change your way too
[Song Ends]
[Metro PA over background] Hi!
Hi! I thought you wouldn’t come.
Wanted to surprise you.
What’s the situation at your home?
Dad is not speaking. Grandmother is communicating by speaking to the walls.
Anyway, when is your match?
It’s in two days.
Do not disturb me till then.
I came here to say the same.
That is what.
I thought you changed after looking at your reaction the other day.
I was shocked looking at the amount of love you showered on me,
and now we are back to the same old.
Did I overreact?
No...
I just got teary when you reacted emotionally. [Metro PA over background]
Bye
[Metro PA over background]
You got a call, apparently it is some Pallavi.
Who is Pallavi?
Friend.
[surprise]
How many times should I ask you to not pick up my calls?
It rang twice. I picked it up thinking it was some emergency.
Anyway, why would I even bother about your friends?
Enough of it. You look good. We’re getting late. Hurry up.
Arrange your books first. I am coming.
I am done with it. You should start.
I spoke with Yamini’s father the other day.
Why?
I told that if I take someone home, it would be his daughter.
What did he say to provoke you to such an extent?
He badmouthed about you.
Raag came home the other day.
Who?
He is your father’s son.
I don’t know how I should acknowledge you,
But if my mother knew that I was coming here,
She would have asked me to address you as my mother.
That is the nature of my mother.
Did you ever try to step into my mother’s shoes and understand?
Sadly, she thinks that she is the only wife of my father. Fool.
She is unaware about my dad maintaining a whole another family along with this house and the car.
It is sad.
My father doesn’t have morals.
He thinks that men can do as they please.
At least you should have some, right?
Not because someone, somewhere will think something.
Did you ever think from my mother’s perspective?
But you should, right?
Don’t you feel like what you are doing is wrong?
People selling their bodies on the streets for a survival, despite what others might think is not wrong.
Because they give people a sense of pleasure, not pain.
But seeing you disgusts me.
You are thriving on someone’s sadness.
That is wrong
Very wrong.
I hope you understand that pain.
If you do, then let him know now at least, about how wrong this is.
Please, excuse me if I offended you in any way.
I am sorry.
Raag?
Who are you?
Hey...
[Punching and groaning]
Hey,
Learn some manners.
She is not just a mother to me, she is like a mother to you as well.
[Coach instructing] Right. Swing. Right. Swing. Right. Swing. Right. Swing. Right. Swing. Right.
Hey, bend your knees. [phone rings in background]
Come on. [phone rings in background]
Right. Swing. Right. Swing. Right. Swing. Right. Swing. Right. Change. Right. Left. Right. Swing. Right. Left. Right. Swing. Right. Left. Right.
Focus!
Come on. Right. Left. Right. Swing. Right. Left. Right. Swing. Right. Left. Right. Swing. Right. Left. Right. Swing. Right. Left. Right. Left. Right. Swing. Right.
Wrap
[phone continues ringing]
Where is your focus?
[Coach coughs]
It’s not about being ambitious. One should have self-control.
First, realize what your priorities are.
Set them right and then come to me.
I am training you in vain!
I have told you a hundred times already, mask all your emotions after you wear those gloves.
If you disagree with me,
then you can go.
Leave now.
Reading Anatomy of Knockout Theory books is not enough.
You should have the guts to implement it.
Hello
You also leave along with your phone.
Don’t come back.
Idiot
How long will you take?
You could have come a little early.
Do you know how scared I was?
Can’t you understand when I ask you to not disturb me?
Why do you keep calling over and over?
Boxing is more important to me than you are.
If it is so difficult for you to understand, then do whatever your father asks of you.
If you ever call me before I call you first,
This is definitely not how I would react.
I called to wish you the best. I don’t need your stupid motivation.
Don’t get onto my nerves.
Get lost.
I won’t leave. You go.
Go, die.
Yash, freshen up quick. Let’s eat. [arrogantly] I am not hungry.
What are you thinking about?
I do not have money right now.
I will pay you later.
How many times do I have to tell you?
I do not expect money when I sleep with you.
Don’t keep calling me when I am home.
It wouldn’t be nice for Diya to find out about you.
He has this problem since his childhood.
Anxiety issues, fluctuations, traumatic conditions.
Sometimes, he overdoses on the pills.
All of this is its effect.
If he gets affected personally, he takes it out on boxing.
If his boxing life is affected, then it is normal for him to take it out on either of us.
Who else does he have?
These are momentary reactions.
This is not something others can alter.
He has to realize it himself and get out of it,
because he never takes wrong decisions.
He is mature.
Once he becomes normal, he will approach you and apologize.
You don’t overthink about it.
Diya!
Yes, what?
Diya, come have some food.
Coming!
Come fast.
Why is it bread always, dad? I want to have an omelette.
We are out of eggs.
I will buy them tomorrow. Sit and have your food.
I don’t want it.
Sit
I said, I don’t want it!
[angrily bangs on the table. Glass falls] Sit and eat!
You don’t always get what you want.
You should make-do with whatever is available sometimes.
Come and eat.
Eat!
Where are you going?
I will be right back.
You sleep.
Are you going to meet Pallavi aunty?
[curtain shuts]
Hi
I asked you to not meet me here, right?
I wanted to see you.
I just came to say “Hi”.
Look,
Roaming around with you is creating new problems.
Upon that, if people see me with you in a place like this...
Let them see.
What is wrong with it?
You won’t understand if I tell you.
Go away from here.
I understood, Pallavi.
It is the guy I saw at your home the other day, right?
I know that you like him a lot.
I won’t interfere between the both of you. I won’t disturb you guys at all,
But please don’t ignore me like this.
Hey, stop the vehicle.
What?
You belong to a brothel, huh?
No, sir.
Then what are you doing here?
Get down and check.
Yes sir.
Hey!
Sir?
Come here.
I’m addressing you.
Come here.
Give me your ID.
Why my ID, sir?
Come on, give me your ID.
Hmmm...
What are you doing with the lady?
Nothing, sir. I just came to have a conversation.
Sir, he is a kid,
a 23-year-old.
If I lock you up for indulging in prostitution with minors...
Sir,
It is nothing like that, sir.
We know each other.
We were just having a normal conversation. Shut up!
I am not a bad guy to file a case and lock you up in a jail.
You know what I want.
Get in the car. It’s not like that, sir.
Please, sir.
This is not something new to you.
Caught you on a slippery ground. How can I leave you? [conversation in background: Please sir]
Hop in.
Pallavi...All this is common. Come aside. This lane is not a good one.
She is not one of them, sir. I know her.
I just came to talk to her once. If you talk any further, you will be taken to the police station.
Understood?
Sorry,
I just wanted to spend some time with you.
Never have I thought about the number of problems you would have to face because of me.
I am really sorry.
It’s enough, Raag. Enough of hanging out with me.
I shouldn’t have encouraged you in the first place.
This is not right.
It would be better if we never meet again.
That is not how it is Pallavi...
Please,
Let me know as to what you expect from me.
I’ll give it to you.
We won’t meet from now on.
Come, Dilip.
You came at the right time.
What ratio is it running on?
60:80,
CSK favorites.
[drops car keys on table]
How much will you give?
It is too old.
Okay, wait.
I can give you a lakh.
It’s not possible to give more than that.
Bet it all on Mumbai.
[cricket commentary runs in the background]
[Bookie] Hard luck, Dilip.
The final match is going to be held the day after.
People will bet in lakhs.
Get some money and I’ll get you a good deal.
[coughs, breathes heavily]
Hey!
What happened,
Hmm?
If someone is passionate about achieving something, this is how they will be.
This is how they should be.
Not just fear, you should have the rage as well.
Tomorrow’s fight should become the definition of you.
[Coach coughs]
It doesn’t matter who the opponent is,
What his strengths are,
and what he can do.
Think about who you are, what your strengths are,
and what you can do.
Enough practice for today.
Go home and get some rest.
We will meet at the match tomorrow.
[breathes heavily]
Go, get out.
[locks the shutter]
Yash. [coughs].
What are you doing here?
[coughs]
We have a match tomorrow.
Oye!
One shouldn’t be tired before a match.
Go, go and get some rest.
Go!
I can’t fight tomorrow, coach.
This is how stress can get you.
Get some sleep and you will be normal by morning.
No, coach.
I can’t fight.
Even if I do, I won’t be able to win.
I don’t know how to convey it to you.
It is somehow very painful a thing for me, coach.
My breath is not normal as well.
I can see the pain in your eyes already if I lose my focus and lose the match tomorrow.
Please, give me some time.
It’s fine.
I will take care of it.
You go home.
Sorry, coach.
[sarcastically] He is a boxer!
I had to go through hardships to get one match for him, and he says he can’t fight it,
as if he’s some great boxer like Muhammad Ali.
Now the manager will scold the whole hierarchy of family that I don’t have.
[sigh] It’s fine. Let him scold if he wants.
Sorry.
It’s not your fault.
I was the one who couldn’t understand.
I didn’t think I would make you suffer to this extent.
I am sorry.
I didn’t attend the match.
It’s alright.
If not this, then another match.
What,
What, why do you trust me so much?
[smiles]
I have my show tomorrow.
You should definitely be there.
Sorry
Did I hit you hard?
It’s okay.
It was you, after all.
[Metro PA]
The train has arrived, go.
[Train hooting]
Tomorrow, I will perform the song that I wrote.
In a way, you are the one that inspired it.
You will come, right?
I will wait in front of your house tomorrow evening.
Let’s go out.
Okay.
I will jump the wall and come. I am used to it.
[Mom] Everyone has a bad phase in their life.
It is natural.
You can reject yourself today,
But when it’s your time, no one can reject you.
There are no great reasons for me to not get married to your father.
We didn’t feel like it was a necessity, especially after you were born.
I don’t understand why you have a problem with it when I don’t.
He never ignored us till now.
Outsiders might have a problem looking at our relationship,
but how can you think the same way?
Remember this,
everyone has some sort of a problem in their life.
It doesn’t mean that we laugh at someone’s sorrows!
This is what is happening here.
Don’t give people that chance.
[Song]
There is no tiredness to our journey
It is a run towards a stage in the journey
Showing you a truth beyond your dreams,
telling you that your destination is somewhere else
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
On your way,
your sorrows will leave away, oooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
On your way,
you follow your wishes like a wave, oooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
[Song Ends]
[dogs bark. Door locks shut]
Thanks for coming.
I will ask you something.
Can you answer without hiding anything?
I would never hide anything from you. Ask me.
What if I just leave this place without telling anyone
and never come back?
What would be the last wish you’d ask of me?
Where are you going?
Nowhere...
But what if I do?
What would you ask?
Oh
I would ask for you to lie down on your bed,
With your hands like this
and get a picture of yourself in that pose where it should look as though you are looking only at me,
Naked...
When I look at that photo, I should be able to feel as though you are with me as a whole.
It will be a driving force behind me.
I can’t see you any other way.
It will be so pure!
Sorry.
I didn’t yell at you because I was mad at you.
I was mad at myself.
I couldn’t take proper care of your mother,
and now I am not able to take proper care of you.
I will do anything for you.
Do you trust your dad?
Will you stay strong,
supportive and brave; like your mom was with me?
Yes
Get your hand off!
What are you doing here?
Out,
go,
out!
I won’t leave, coach.
Yes, it is true that I lost.
I came here to fight that defeat.
Hey. Stop it!
Everyone just comes up with lines.
Do you even know the basic quality a fighter should have?
It is the ability to fight,
not run away like a coward.
A person who thinks about winning or losing is not a fighter at all.
You got scared and ran away, right? Go, run away again.
My monthly earnings add up to 30,000.
Half of it goes into procuring the students’ shoes and gloves
and I use the other half to drag myself through the month.
[Coach coughs]
I do not have a marriage- wife and children
and the joy it all brings in my life.
Neither do I have the problems that such relationships could create.
I do not have any world other than boxing.
It is wrong of me to expect everyone to think like me,
but there’s this hope that someday,
one of my trainees will excel.
I have that hope on you, and that is why I am still bearing with you.
I will shamelessly put everything aside and train you even if you abandon me and come back,
but I will never come searching for you.
I would have my self-respect too, right?
Lose,
there is nothing wrong.
It is not about who wins or who loses.
It is about who rises upon each defeat and fights again. He is a true fighter.
What will you do?
I will fight. Huh?
I will fight!
Your life,
Your career...
Everything will change with one punch.
Fight for that one punch.
Not for yourself,
not for me at all.
Fighters don’t just fight for glory.
They fight for respect.
Fight for that respect.
Go, get ready. We will start with the training.
Go!
What happened?
Dad, who is she? Pallavi aunty?
Hmm...
Hello!
Hi!
We are getting late.
Let us go.
You don’t worry, sir.
Have a peaceful journey.
He will never come near your daughter again.
This is my responsibility and you have my word.
Come, Dilip.
I will take a leave.
Come, Dilip.
Sit
You begged me for work.
That is why I called you.
There is a task.
I will do any kind of work, brother.
You are very familiar with this sort of work, Dilip.
You saw the old man who just left, right?
Sadly,
he has a trouble.
A jobless guy forced himself upon his daughter.
Heartbroken and clueless, her father came to me.
He spoke in a broken voice.
How will that girl face the people of her college that way?
She gave up on her studies and is not stepping out of the house.
What do you want me to do?
The work you are familiar with, Dilip.
He should never be seen again.
I will look after the police matters.
Keep these.
It’s alright, brother.
I will collect the money after getting done with the work.
It will be useful for your expenses. Keep it,
Take it, Dilip.
I will meet you after the job is done.
Give me the gun. Leave, Guna.
Give me the gun! Leave, Guna.
Hey, Dilip! LEAVE!
Things like these led to your wife’s death, now you are putting your child’s life at stake.
I do whatever I do for my daughter.
Does that mean you stoop down to anything for money!?
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!
He is the kind that plays Kho-Kho with people.
He’ll make you run and just sit and watch it all along while you go
While you murder strangers and sit in jail with their blood on your hands!
If you can’t raise your child on your own, let me know and I will raise her.
Hey Dilip,
Think carefully and change your mind.
Else, this Guna will be dead to you.
I will never show my face to you in this lifetime!
Will you beat the guy who wins over you?
Are you still scared of losing?
[nods in disagreement]
Are you ready for That One Punch?
Ready
Get ready.
Wait a minute.
I have a match tomorrow.
You can come along with mom.
Let him go inside.
Is he crazy or what?
If it is his time, we would be damned.
We can only sleep in peace if people like him are behind bars.
[Church bell rings]
What did you pray for?
To win the match tomorrow?
Firstly, to win the match, you should be alive right!
Who are you?
Yamini’s father sent me
To safeguard his respect, I’m here with a gun.
More than anything, Caste is fundamental for Yamini’s father.
No matter how many generations evolve, their caste should remain the same.
That’s their pride.
It makes them to go any extent
When guys like you intrude,
They would need guys like me to clear things up.
Before we even realize that we are just puppets,
Both you and me will be gone.
But I’ll not commit that mistake
You have a bright future and responsibilities
You shouldn’t be disturbed because of people like them.
Be careful
Remember this
Everything will cooperate if you want to ruin yourself,
but to build a life,
it takes lot of struggles.
Think about it.
People like you should grow up.
You don’t need all this ruckus.
Take care.
[Guna’s phone ringing]
Please inform Velu that I cannot take up this job.
Why should an innocent be killed to take revenge on me?
This is a gift he presented me with, for being loyal for ten years.
A trap.
I’ll never show him my face.
Tell him that I'll find my own path.
Also that I am not capable of taking revenge on him.
What have you decided to do now?
Where will you go?
I’ll search ways to live life
Find a decent path, Dilip.
Don’t get into this shady business again.
Take care of your daughter.
Always remember that your Guna is there for you whenever you need me
I wouldn’t be needing you anymore, Guna.
I don’t agree
I want to be with you. Take me along.
Please
Try to understand.
Give me a year's time, it will help us both.
Just one year.
If you do move on with someone else by then, I don’t mind.
But if at all you remain the same, I'll come for you no matter what.
Would you wait for me?
I’m not like everyone else, I will wait.
To make me vacate the house, he sent goons and beat me up.
Where will you go?
I don’t know
I’m heading to Bangalore with Diya.
Why?
I can’t live here,
I won’t be able to look after Diya here
Can I come along with you?
Is this a joke?
No! I’m serious about it.
Every time you’re with me, I just forget everything.
When your wife passed away,
I wanted to ask if I could live with you and Diya.
What do you mean?
Look
I would have had a hundred wives if I had taken everyone home with whom I had slept with.
You are just one among them.
It’s only that I've spent more time with you.
That doesn't mean that I would take you home and introduce you to my daughter as her mother.
Don’t have any false hopes.
Here is what I owe you.
In fact, there is a little extra.
Keep it though!
Go somewhere and live.
You’ll never see me after today.
It’s better you maintain the same as well.
Dad! Will we never come back here?
No
You will also be going to school there.
Why are we here so early when the train is at eight PM?
Come, I’ll tell you.
Listen to me carefully.
I have some important work.
I should tend to it.
I’ll be back though by the time train arrives.
Till then, you have to be here alone.
Will you?
Where are you going?
I’ll tell you when I’m back.
It’s an important job.
I have to do this for us, for your future.
You will be safe here.
Be brave.
Don’t be scared
I’ll be back
Have faith in your father.
I’m left with no other option.
Be here,
Don’t go anywhere.
If someone asks,
Tell them that “my father has gone to the washroom!”.
Okay ?
Be careful!
[Song playing in the background] Hello
This is my last call to you
It’s the last time I can call you mine again
Oh!
Don’t know why I things have to end
Wanna be myself again Yeah
Need to find a place I can be
Me
So, would you hear me sing by you?
Can you turn around and walk away from me? Yeah
Would you hear me sing by you?
Can you turn around and walk away from me?
What’s all this?
Can’t you keep your room a little tidy?
Why are you so gloomy? Don’t overthink.
Your father spoke to me.
Do you think I’ve been living unaware of what’s happening in the family all this while?
What’s the point in cribbing about what has already happened?
The only concern now is how he is with us even after everything that happened. What else can we do about it?
He never turned us down for someone else right!
However, when I’m okay with it, what is your problem?
Look ahead and focus on your career.
Who is Pallavi?
Yes? I’m coming.
Welcome, Dilip.
Did you just come?
Tell me
On whom do you want to bet?
Oh!
I’ve shut the bar today to avoid chaos.
As it is finals today, I’ve only taken lump sum bets.
How much do you have?
Don’t think much, tell me quickly.
The match is pretty tight.
Don’t waste my time.
Make your bet quickly, Dilip.
Dilip! What is this?
Get up!
What’s wrong, Dilip?
Come out!
What happened Dilip?
Just come out!
Listen to me once, Dilip.
You can’t escape from here Sit...
Listen to me once
Shut up, mother fucker!
Drop your mobiles, money on the table and get lost.
There are only a few bullets in the barrel,
and I’m not sure whom I'll shoot. Dilip. No.
Listen... Please... Lower your head and move.
Don’t do this, Dilip.
Move to the next room.
Don’t try to act smart.
Please listen to me, Dilip.
[Lionel Ritchie’s Hello song playing in the car]
[Cat cries]
[Commentator] You can see the confidence in Red compared to his last bow.
Red lands the first punch on Blue and wants to take the charge from the beginning.
Blue is trying to get back into the game.
He is given no chance what-so-ever.
Red is not giving any scope for Blue to retaliate.
Look at that rhythm and flow of movements!
Keeps moving across the ring and drains out the opponent.
Fast!
Listen to me once, Dilip.
Give me the locker keys.
Dilip Just give me...
[Cricket match playing on the projector]
Drop the bag.
You can’t escape from here. Just drop your bag.
I’m talking to you.
Drop it...
Don’t!
Diya
Diya! What are you doing here?
[Commentator] Blue is trying desperately to corner Red.
Red is not ready to lose his momentum and corners Blue.
Raiding punches on Blue right now!
Blue is struggling to get off the ring.
Back-to-back overthrows from Red.
That’s a heavy blow on head!
Blue lands on the floor.
This is a great comeback for Red!
[Gun shots]
I’m leaving!
And I will never be seen.
Stop searching for inspiration,
It’s within you.
