Who wants to talk first?
I charge ₹2,000 per session.
Whether you talk or not,
I still charge the same.
So, choose.
See, Doctor. This is what the problem is.
He doesn't respond to my questions.
He brushes it off with a smile.
This is what you liked in me before our wedding.
"Vikram, you're a great listener," you'd say.
What happened now?
We're not idols to remain the same without changing.
We're humans.
If we don't talk, you call us submissive.
If we talk, you call us escapists.
I better keep quiet.
Did you see that, Doctor?
He takes everything lightly.
Do you want me to take everything seriously like you and start a campaign?
So, you think I do useless campaigns?
I want you to stop these campaigns at home.
Our kid is getting affected because of your seriousness.
So, are you calling me a bad mother?
I didn't mean that.
See, Doctor.
He conveniently gives up on things that matter the most to me.
He isn't concerned about my feelings.
Neither is he concerned about my happiness.
I feel like I'm living with a stranger in my own house.
Look who's talking about caring for the emotions of others.
Were you ever concerned about my emotions?
Did you ever talk to me affectionately?
Did you ever make me coffee when I came home tired from the office?
You'll ask for a coffee today.
You'll ask for a towel tomorrow.
And then you'll ask me to be in the kitchen the following day.
-Is that it? -I never said that.
This is the sin all men have been continuing to commit for ages.
Make women do all the chores.
Prepare them to become machines that deliver babies.
You're erasing women's identities and making them non-existent.
You're no different.
All men are dogs.
Look, there she goes again.
Running a campaign for every tiny thing has become a fashion.
It's just an excuse to run away from responsibilities.
Have you ever done a household chore?
Forget that.
Have you ever attended at least one parents' meeting?
Don't lecture me about what is responsibility.
Oh, really?
Let me show you what kind of a responsible man you are.
See, Doctor.
This is an action of a responsible husband and father.
Getting drunk and talking cheaply about wives in public.
Yeah, I know about that video.
I was the one who revealed it in my show.
What kind of a responsible person does that?
Vikram, since when do you have this habit?
What habit?
Drinking habit.
Don't use an intense word like "habit."
I'm just a social drinker.
But that video doesn't look like it.
Are you calling me an alcoholic?
You know what, Vikram?
This is the trait of every alcoholic.
Denial.
What the fuck, man?
Here goes the second one.
Second problem.
Verbal abuse.
And this will eventually lead to domestic violence.
I have nothing to do with your discussion.
You do, Vikram.
According to human psychology,
there's pent-up emotion behind our every action.
And my job is to identify and cure it.
Vikram, I think you must undergo behavioural and addiction therapy.
It'll help you.
-That's right. -What?
Fill up these forms when you're here for your next session.
-Bye. -See you. Bye.
All men are dogs.
How long, man?
Sir, he'll be here in another 30 minutes.
Hey, did you make changes in the script?
Hey, why did you give him that?
Um, I just...
What's with these additions and multiplications?
No, sir. I just... sorry.
How much longer, man?
Bro.
Cool, bro.
Let's go have a smoke.
-Who are you? -Writer.
Writer? For what?
Cow milk or buffalo milk, anna?
Protein shake.
That's why they're good.
What, man? How much longer?
Well, he's a star. So... he might take some time.
Star?
Who's the star?
-I'm the star and star maker here. -Cool. Calm down.
Calm down, sir.
Hi, hi.
I'm Ganta Ravi.
Don't get so irritated.
Why are you so frustrated?
It's not that, dear. I can't take this delay.
Relax, sir. Everything will be fine.
Manmadhudu.
Mr. Nagarjuna's movie, sir.
It was a hit in Vijay Theatre. I have watched it.
You are my Manmadhudu.
Not Cupid, I'm Ganta Ravi, sir.
Do you know how to act?
Acting?
Then, will you buy milk from me?
Those girls will dance with you.
Milk.
Girls.
-Milk. -Girls.
-Milk, sir. -Girls.
Milk, sir!
Action!
This one is loose.
There are holes in this. Darn!
This one's faded!
Oh, Lord!
Can't I get a good underwear?
♪ With fabric so soft Dikky Underwear ♪
♪ In eye-catching shades Dikky Underwear ♪
♪ Such comfort The perfect fit ♪
♪ Everyone's favourite Dikky Underwear ♪
♪ Dikky, Dikky Dikky Underwear ♪
Super, super!
The only underwear shown off!
Dikky Underwear!
Hey, I'll be there. I'm at work.
-Dikky, Dikky, Dikky... -Dikky, Dikky, Dikky...
-You won hearts, anna, -True, Ganta anna.
Stop selling milk and do modelling.
-Hey, that's difficult. -Nothing like that. Make money--
-What say, anna? -Excuse me.
-Bye. -Bye-bye.
I own that dairy farm. I have your numbers.
I'll send you... the samples!
-Four customers. -Oh.
Amazing.
Okay, anna. I'm leaving.
There's a meeting at Dimple's school.
-Go. -Bye, anna.
Hey, Ganta. Party.
-Sure, sure. -Don't forget.
For sure, anna!
[in unison] Dikky, Dikky, Dikky...
-Hey, Sathi. How many times.... -Hello, Pankaj.
...should I tell you?
Don't deliver him milk. He never pays.
No, no.
-Hey, pouring milk... -One second, Pankaj.
No, man! Listen to me.
Give him the milk for now.
-Close the account once he pays. -See, Pankaj.
Do you get it?
Okay?
One second, Pankaj.
-Just do what I said. -Hey, mister.
Can you please lower your voice?
What, sir?
Would you mind lowering your voice, please?
Lower your voice, nana.
Okay. Sure.
Yeah, Pankaj.
You know Aditya Apartments in Panchavati Colony?
No Pankaj,
-this file, I was trying to tell you-- -They bought ghee.
They'll give you ₹3,000. Take it.
And listen...
The doctor will vaccinate the buffaloes.
Follow up with him.
-Hello, boss! -Do you understand?
Stay on the line.
I'm on an important office call, okay?
What's with your buffalo milk business?
Bloody buffalo bullshit!
What happened, sir? What are you saying?
"What are you saying?"
Your loud voice is disturbing me.
Go out and talk if you want.
Hey, hello.
I'm calling you "sir" respectfully. Why do you sound insulting?
Do you think you're my brother-in-law?
Dad, please control.
No, dear. What wrong did we do?
-Nothing, Pankaj. -He said it.
Some slum guy talking shit on the phone.
Hey!
Who did you call a "slum guy"?
You're going overboard with your words.
Hey, software.
I'll break your head with that laptop.
-Take respect, give respect. -When I was on a call,
why were you being a nuisance, sitting beside me?
What nuisance?
You're talking about your job. I'm talking about my business.
Who's got a problem?
Do you think talking in English wearing earbuds, is called work?
You're the problem.
We're paying a huge amount of fees for our kids.
I really don't understand how come
this school admits these kind of mannerless and senseless people.
Hey, speak Telugu.
-Don't raise your voice, okay? -Who's raising what?
-What are you saying? -Dad, stop it.
You are raising your voice.
Uncle, I'm sorry.
I'll take my father out.
Come on, Dad.
What wrong did we do, dear?
-Why did you-- -Keep quiet and come.
-We can't let it go like this. -No, dear...
-what wrong did we do? -We should talk to the management.
-Tell me. -I knew you'd cause some problem
if you come to my school.
That's why I wanted Mom to come over.
What wrong did I do, dear? Tell me what I did.
Was it my mistake?
He said something and I responded.
Did I say something wrong?
No, Dad. Go home without creating a scene.
Oh, Rama Chandra!
Dimple, listen to me, will you?
I don't want to listen to you anymore.
-Tell me. -Why are you talking softly?
Is everything all right?
I'm talking softly since I'm near the school.
We'll talk when I get back home.
Right.
Mr. Rahul.
Did you see someone walking this way?
No. Somebody put this parcel against your door.
Hey! Who's it?
I came to see who rang the bell, but the door was locked.
It's good that you have a neighbour like me.
Or what would've happened?
What if you got a heart attack because of this incident?
A neighbour like me would at least take you to the hospital.
No, no.
Neighbours are very important.
We're like family, sir.
How can you leave such a good community?
No.
What is this?
-Thank you so much. -Yeah.
-I'll go talk to the president. -Good decision.
Go ahead.
-Keep them inside. -Thank you.
Close the door.
Be careful.
My foot!
One wicket down.
Next, the president!
-Mr. Kumar. -What happened?
I was looking for you.
Wait for ten minutes.
Suresh wanted to talk to me.
I'll talk to him and come.
Sir, are you renting the flat upstairs to a bachelor?
-Yes. -Sir.
Giving it to a bachelor is against our community rules, sir.
Yes. But who recommended it?
My wife.
What can I do?
Sir, even if my wife recommended it,
how can we give it to a bachelor, sir?
It's against our community rules.
You shouldn't ask that to me.
You should ask that to your wife, right?
-Where is your flat? -There.
Go there and shut the door.
-I'm going there. -Okay.
Shit!
Hey.
Why are you here, Pinky?
You have a dance programme, don't you?
The adults cancelled our programme so they can perform dandiya.
What? Did the elders cancel your programme
to perform dandiya?
Wait right here for five minutes.
The stage will be all yours.
Just wait.
Why are you all standing outside?
Are you done practising your dance?
No.
Where's Daddy?
There!
Hi.
What's up?
When did you come back from the hospital?
When you were performing dandiya.
I danced because the people of the building forced me.
It was fun.
You should've come too.
Why?
You had good company there.
I asked you to talk to the owner about the flat for rent.
Did you?
Oh, shit! I forgot. I'll talk to him tomorrow.
How could you forget?
What made you forget about this?
Besides watching TV every morning after waking up.
Hello, I'm taking care of our kid.
Please don't say you're taking care of our kid.
I can hire a full-time nanny for that.
You were an inspiration back in the day.
-Why are you behaving weirdly now? -When did I behave weirdly?
What's so weird about it?
-You're saying as if it's porn. -Stop it.
This sarcasm is what you have to avoid.
It's good to stop it.
As a doctor, I can understand.
-Sometimes, because of depression-- -Depression?
What depression?
I drank two beers at the bar and screamed thrice. That's depression?
Cool. Whether you continue writing or don't, I'm okay with either.
Just remember this. I'll always love you.
Okay?
"I love you" in the end after scolding me badly?
Be it love or anger, it's only me who expresses it.
You can't even do that.
I got some cookie ice cream for you.
Thanks.
Rekha.
I don't like going to counselling.
Let's sit and talk if there's a problem.
Look.
We know each other well.
It's just that we have small communication problems.
We can sit and sort this out.
We'll get a neutral perspective if we go to the counsellor, Vikram.
If not, we'll get defensive.
We're mature adults.
How can our problems be solved without us trying?
Let's fix it ourselves, Rekha.
How?
I mean, share your problem with me.
I'll try to be the mediator and solve this.
Okay. You asked for this.
I don't have a problem with you, Vikram.
You are usually logical about everything.
But you become a totally different person in front of your mother.
You don't get how she emotionally manipulates you, Vikram.
Shouldn't we set healthy boundaries?
No matter what issue arises because of her,
you don't think of it from my perspective.
I feel so lonely during those times.
Okay. Noted.
And?
You should open up, Vikram.
Without sharing your frustration with your wife,
you created a scene after drinking, which I didn't like.
It was humiliating in front of my mother.
I'm sorry, Rekha.
I shouldn't have humiliated you.
I promise it won't repeat.
Okay, you tell me.
You just talked about healthy boundaries.
It's better if you also set healthy boundaries with your mother.
You get influenced by her words.
It's affecting Adithi.
If Adithi grows up to be like you in the future--
Enough.
I've become this successful because of how my mother brought me up.
It's not wrong to expect a good future for Adithi, is it?
Hey, let me complete.
No need!
You don't deserve to criticise my mother.
I shut up and listened to you talking about my mother, didn't I?
Why? Because your mother is wrong!
Is that even a question, Vikram?
We're talking of rectifying things.
Who's getting defensive now? You are.
When you don't have the patience and emotional maturity to listen...
We don't have to listen to someone else like fools, do we?
In the name of counselling.
Going to the counsellor is not a humiliation.
-It's a solution. -Solution, my foot!
Solution, you say?
Okay. It's up to you if you want to come home
or humiliate me, drunk out of your mind.
Rekha.
Rekha!
Do you want it? Should I serve?
Why are you both silent like this?
Why aren't you guys talking?
Dimple.
Sorry, dear.
Don't be like that. I don't like seeing you that way.
What did you do at her school?
What kind of crap is it now?
I thought you would've done something when you hung up on me earlier.
Dimple, what did your father do?
He thinks he's a gangster.
He threatens everyone.
That's what he did at school today.
Sorry, dear.
I was being polite to that gentleman.
He was the one who went overboard and made me lose my patience.
Look.
I'll never talk to anyone like that at school next time.
I swear upon my mother.
Don't come to school, Dad.
My friends pass comments every time you show up.
Hey, girl! Eat and go!
First, wash your hands. Then, show your arrogance.
By the way, what did you do at her school?
You let her cry and starve.
It's cold outside.
Want some water?
-It's just our daughter. -Hey.
She's not wrong.
I'm at fault here.
She's just a kid.
Okay, should I make you a peg? You'll feel better.
-Listen. -What?
-Did Amma sleep? -Yes, she did.
You hit so hard.
Listen.
Get a glass for yourself too.
Enough.
Your mother will find out otherwise.
Hey, I'll replace it with a new bottle before she wakes up.
Oh, wow! Stop bragging.
In this state, I wonder if you can wake up early enough for that.
I will.
It's true, though...
The students of that school and their dads
are so classy.
She got mad maybe because of the way I communicated.
Why should she get mad, bava?
Class is not only about one's dress and speech.
It's about the heart.
She's going overboard with her words.
You went through a lot when she was born.
She troubled us a lot.
I'll deal with her when she wakes up.
Hey!
Don't be angry with her.
Did our kids ask us to give birth to them?
We did that for our own happiness.
Why should we ruin their lives?
Goodness!
You will never let me badmouth her.
Hey, Rama!
But that asshole...
He spoke a lot of things about milk and buffaloes.
I'll deal with him if I meet him outside.
Calm down, bava.
How can that guy humiliate you?
You hire jerks like them and make them work for you.
What do you lack?
My, oh, my!
You praised me after so long.
See, bava?
I don't want us to get humiliated that way.
That's why I suggest moving into a nice community.
But you don't listen to me.
I guessed, with your sugar-coated words,
that you're up to something like this.
And that's what you did.
You're so cunning.
Of course, I'm cunning because I'm planning to inherit your property.
You and your pride...
You won't change even if the entire town humiliates you.
-What did I do now? -Go away.
-Up yours, you shameless fellow! -Hey, Hyma.
Give it back.
-Give it back! -Why are you taking the bottle?
Come and get it.
Why don't you go after your buffaloes?
-This man is shameless. -Wait, vile woman!
You always create a fuss when I'm in a good mood.
