I can never forget this day
because, I know where this journey would take me..
but in which way? I don't know..
I never wanted drama in life
but love - it comes with drama, by default
Hello
Ram!
The apple tv you brought last time doesn't work properly
it reboots once every 10 minutes!
Its 3 am here Bhanu.
It was snowing - Couldn't take my car..
I walked home and am damn tired
Don't act smart just because you are in the US
We have long ago stopped treating NRIs differently.
what did I say and what are you talking?
Its clear
you talk like an attention seeking NRI
and I'm offering you a reality check
why do you call me so many times when I'm in a meeting?
But I've called you just once!
Isn't that enough for disturbing the meeting?
Hello
Bhanu, I'm with a client..
shall I call you back in an hour?
Its been four hours, Ram
since you promised to call me
Sorry Bhanu
the client just left..(line cuts)
Ram!!
don't expect me to be glancing at the phone every 10 minutes waiting for your call.
I have least interest in being your 2nd priority!!
My dad loved his mother very much
He named me after her, as he loves me more..
her name was
"BHANUMATHI"
..to her name
I, from my schooling in Vijayawada to my masters in London
have given that name a personality.
I live in Hyderabad
I work as Delivery Manager for an Advertising firm
for us to present ourselves confidently,
Fitness, I believe, is important
I put on weight very easily..
so I try to be as disciplined as possible.
rather than lazing around a coffee shop
I'd prefer following business news
Bhanu!
thank you very much
What for?
for referring me for the Vietnam project..
I owe you a treat!
you would have done your work well till now
that's why you earned this opportunity.
Its better you keep doing your work well..
but still, Its better you keep doing your work well..
but still,
it was You who referred me, right.
All that was needed for that job was a profile
not a name!
Infact, I don't even know your full name.
I hate having personal conversations with office colleagues!
good luck with the project
I don't like a particular set of people
I'm not sure which "set" that is..
..may be the "mediocre"s.
Life is nothing but
the choices we make.
Everything that happened in my life till date -
I chose them!
we met at a business summit 5 years ago
Ram we met at a business summit 5 years ago
Ram
ideal boyfriend Ram
good looking, successful and rich! Ram
good looking, successful and rich!
not that I'm a 'money' person..
but I don't intend to do anything dramatic in life.
I have run out of reasons to delay marrige
is there an expiry date for my independence soon??!!
however, 5 years is a good enough time to take a decision
I'm entering into this new phase with a truly new feeling.
Hi Prakhya!
Hey Bhanu! wassup? long time..
Hey listen!
ya, tell me..
I'm about to get my periods in 2 days
ok..
I just want to skip' em for a few more days
Oh, is Ram coming?
you dont have to do it, you know!
No,
ah, then..?
my clients are coming from germany
ooh!..
I've a lot of work coming up.
oh, ok ok.
this looks like a lot of stress to deal with right now.
I understand
.ah, I'll just text you the name of the medicine.
Is that ok??
yeah, that should be fine.
yah! ok, whatsapp me.
lets catch up sometime..
yah, surething!
take care then.
you too, thank you, bye
bye bye
Hey!! he's here
go, go, go
don't be so cool Bhanu
he came from the US just for you..
you guys deserve each other
go, open the door!
er..Bhanu..
Bhanu, I'm seeing somebody else
haan!??
There is another girl in my life
Since when?
how long has it been Ram??!!
OK, 3 months.
I've been trying to tell you this since 10 days.
hang on!.. I've been trying to tell you this since 10 days.
hang on!..
3 months, is it?
its not what you're thinking it is Bhanu,
our parents are involved.. its not what you're thinking it is Bhanu,
our parents are involved..
listen! I really tried to make it work..
mm..hmmm..
I even coordinated a meeting between you and my mom
and you were rude with her too!
your mother was sarcastic in asking my age
"same as your son", I replied
she got offended for that
she didn't feel superior
I can't help it.
So, for 3 months - between her and I
you and your mom have been planning as to who's better?!
sshh...Just shut up Bhanu,please.
Ah! I get it.
a 30 yr old independent woman would be
very problematic for your mom, right?
she needs someone who watches TV serials with her and gossips about relatives
I believe she got one.
She's an interior designer..
as if I care..
ok, now don't even try making me feel guilty.
You know Bhanu, you're miserable
and you know it too
we've been in a 5yr long relationship just for namesake
but
in reality I'm just a convenience for you.
You estimated me - I'm not aggressive enough and so I can bear with you.
that's it right?
but what you don't understand is that others have expectations too!!
you never understand that!
You think you are too special and anyone would be happy with you.. that's your feeling..right?
For that matter, it is the same for you if its me or anyone else..
you just need a societial show off and to get on in life..that's all
nothing more and nothing less!!..
and yes, I compared, definitely..
but the decision making didn't take time
you know why?..
because she's beautiful,
she's caring
she's understanding
she's polite
and more than anything...
she's 24!
how's the taste?
super
nice, right?
you see, I've learnt it.
Manish - afterall who taught you, me!
Isha - shut up, you didn't teach me Manish - afterall who taught you, me!
Isha - shut up, you didn't teach me
Isha - I learnt it by myself
Manish - I have to teach you everything..
oh! is it
you remember why I brought this cream?
what??..
I feel perfectly fine.
I've moved on completely and I feel very good
it's his loss anyway.
you know what, what has happened is actually good
5 years of this and now I feel light.
I think its over.
who made this?
Manish - me
It can't be him.. Manish - me
It can't be him..
and why are you eating chocolate, you don't like it, do you?
this is all we have for breakfast today
Chocolate is a stress buster
Stressed? who is stressed? I'm not stressed
I know you're not
I'm very happy..
Hey listen, I've got loads of work to do
you guys enjoy your pancakes..
tonight! lets go out, lets party..
we'll go to OTM, ok?
Hii!!
how am I looking? nice, right?
so much shopping! where all did you shop?
first to Inorbit and then to GVK..listen! so much shopping! where all did you shop?
first to Inorbit and then to GVK..listen!
there are sales all over so I decided to change everything
I really got irked with all my clothes and I wanted a change..like a makeover you know,
like a "life makeover"..
ya, ya - you're right!
this one's nice...
you remember the last time we went shopping?..
What's your problem huh!!
Manish...
he can't see me happy or what..
listen, you feel I haven't moved on? I've moved on..
you want me to cry over it?..
stupid guy!!
I deserve somebody much better
You deserve much better than anyone..
exactly.. You deserve much better than anyone..
exactly..
forget him
need some more salt? check once akka
is the salt less for wada?
wada? are there relatives at home?
ya Akka, Vijaya aunty has come..I'm leaving to Hyd for a job
didn't you have a job at bezawada??
My boss has got me a new and better job at Hyderabad, for my growth.
its time for you get married too..
last time there was an alliance on offer, your dad didn't allow it to happen.
watch out, there's something burning on the stove there..you go!
akka,come here..
where is bujji? is he off to school?
I can't handle him at home and so sent him to school.
he should be back by noon. I can't handle him at home and so sent him to school.
he should be back by noon.
take this and serve him a couple of wadas after he's back.
sister, I've put the money at the idol
I'm leaving, see you.
ok, take care
Brother, where will he stay in Hyderabad?
his friend Chakri's brother is there in Hyerabad he'll go stay there with him.
Vijayattha, how are you? when did you come?
I'm fine, where are you coming from, with a can in hand? Vijayattha, how are you? when did you come?
I'm fine, where are you coming from, with a can in hand?
Amma asked me to get the flour pressed. I'm fine, where are you coming from, with a can in hand?
Amma asked me to get the flour pressed.
so, she's getting these petty things done by a job holder!!
nothing like that, anyways, you keep talking and I'll be back from a shower
Brother, do you remember our Dhawaleswaram aunty
her daughter..
(daughter of the person who retired from paper mill)
she now works at SBI kakinada
and is earning 35 thousand per month I hear
I feel we should ask her to be married to our Ramakrishna
.he'd turn 33 this year
and its already been late for his marriage
..so if you have any opinion on this, I'll make things move faster.
its just now that he's got a decent job, let's wait for some more time.
last year when Kanakam asked them about the alliance
they backed off saying his was a small time job
now that he'd be earning good, they seem to be all interested..
do not mind her talk
first let him settle down in his job.
thats fine brother.
why are you staring?
amma! let me see, did it hurt?
what are you looking at?
go to Kodandarao uncle's house and hand over the chit fund money to him.
If you forget and leave, i need to send your dad there.
during your initial days of marriage, I heard you and Vijaya aunty didn't get along well.
I know, dad told me about it
that it was you who compromised every time.
then, it was for your dad that I soaked it all up.
but now if someone pokes at my son,
I'm not staying calm, not even your father.
how hot and angry you sound!!
go get the suitcase down and start packing your things
go..i say GO..
thank you
one LIT please
Hey! I've never seen you before..
are you here for the first time?
so, tell me..
yah!
so, you were checking me out, is it?
you're totally setting the floor on fire
you wanna dance?
yeah! why not..
usually I don't dance...but after six drinks
unexpected touch..hate it.
I hate seeing myself in this state.
this break up celebration is not for me, I get that.
thats the moment when I lost my self respect.
missing my dad!!
bro!! you came!!..welcome
Hey bunty, how are you? bro!! you came!!..welcome
Hey bunty, how are you?
I'm fine, come on in.
Actually I thought of coming to the station to pick you but couldn't.
There is a tiffin center down stairs, a pan shop beside that and the coaching center is across the road.
I can get to the coaching center or can stay put at the panshop itself.
So, how's everything at home brother.
everything's fine.
your dad wants you to concentrate on coaching and get a job.
so he's still behind my back!!, how old am I anyway?
You didn't enjoy life as your generation didn't have a proper guidance on what needs to be done at every stage of life
but I'm not like you, I'm fully planned
these jobs and all, I don't want to go home for every festival and get schooled by Dad for every damn thing in my life
..are there people still living life on those terms??
you won't understand this now.
Your dad is not waiting for your salary.
he wants you to settle down and be ready to take over his business so that he can retire and rest.
all these would work with my elder brother, go play at him.
my characterization is different bro
I'm not like him
I don't want to hook up with an average looking girl for some easy money or a piece of land or a large family.
I have some set expectations
I will share my long term plans with you later tonight.
you and your silly talks..
anyways! i will bath and get ready
what will you have for breakfast? a subway sub would do?
Idli is fine for me
Idli?? ok
Bunty, take money
no bro, I have it.
hey! don't be late
be quick, I don't want to be late to the office on the very 1st day.
plain idly is fine but ghee idly would take time
I'll go with a plain one.
I've got some of the best idiots around me !!
Good morning sir!

hey, don't forget to send the quotation to Parakh and cc to me, ok?
why are you preparing the acceptance data?
Anu was supposed to do it, right?
Anu is on maternity leave from today
and none else has been assigned.
moreover we have a call today
I'm doing it so that there is no delay.
fine, lets take the call.
are the costing reports ready?
hmmm
is acceptance data ready?
won't you talk on the call today too?
how many days will you avoid calls like this?
what if client calls you when I'm not in office?
Hi Tim, how are you?
Hey Bhanu, where are we on the costing numbers?
he's asking for you
Hello Sir!..yes, I'm fine.
I have been through the project status files, they look fine.
I've already sent an email and cc'd Tracy as well
I can send it to you again if you like.
Is the acceptance data ready?
ah! no Tim, that's gonna take a while
because we have 4 days off
so nobody is in office right now
why is everyone on leave?
Is there an occasion or something..?
yah! actually its pongal..
Its like..it's like the Christmas you have
its a big festival in this part of the world..
I didn't know that!
so everybody goes out for 4 days - back to their hometown..
I would like You and RK also to take leave
Thanks Tim!
Happy Pongal !
see you on monday Tim, bubye!!
I cannot talk in english like you, but I understand it.
Now that the client has said it, why wait?
If I take a bus tonight, by morning I'll be relishing piping hot ghee idli!
reaching Bezawada takes the same time by flight and bus!
shall I take Bunty's car and drop you on the way?
Prasad!
yeah Bunty (contextual)
Book a ticket for me to Vijayawada, urgently.
dude, it's festive season - allow me to do my work, hang up!
fine even if it costs more, its utterly urgent.
what's such an urgency? have your festival here itself.
the ticket is not for me Prasad! its for Ramakrisha, once he leaves, we can start (the party)!
Ramakrisha? when did he come?
details later, first book his ticket and call me.
ok then, call me in an hour
after boarding the bus, if you ask for extra water bottles and soft sheets, you'll be kicked out.
I'll take care of all that.
by the way, this evening, by when would you be free?
I'll wind up once the last bus leaves at 10:30
tag Jogarao along while coming.
yeah, done
so, today evening
let it be fun (contextual, past reference).
hang up! silly sot.
come down, let's get sloshed (slang)..ok then, bye.
Goa?
yeah
when did you guys go to Goa?
we actually thought of calling you too
but you said you'd be busy at office..
ya but now, Tim, my client has..er..
given me and Ramakrishna 4 days leave
..anyways, you guys have fun, see you when you get back
hey! so, why don't you fly tomorrow morning?
no, no. you and Manish should spend sometime together, you guys have had enough drama from me.
fine then, have a good weekend, I'll see you once you are back.
ok, bye
you take care
bye
I always saw peace in silence but now it makes me lonely.
I can't stop questioning myself
bro, be quick, the bus will leave soon.
hey don't smoke in the bathroom.
take care.
it would have been good if you came along.
your dad will be happy
easy bro, I've promised my friend's mom that I would lunch with them tomorrow and she's seriously preparing wada and bobbattlu (festive dishes)
shall I convey anything to your mom?
nothing at all..
missed call from Bhanu
Bhanu, you called me..?
this iphone touch really irritates!..
btw, where are you?
about to board tenali bus
pick some booze, tonic will soon be closed.
ok dude
hang on, suresh is calling.
even I was contemplating..
if I should go home or...
I told you right, it will be nice if you go home.
your parents also will feel happy.
if we start at 5am tomorrow morning, when would we reach vijayawada?
we should be there by 10.
ok, see you at 5
fine

I'll send him off and come. I'm not sure till he departs.

but with Ramakrishna!
what about the booze if he's coming along?
booze?..
do one thing..from our apartment..
go straight, turn right, then left, then take a U turn.. find some bushes and go drink there.
what's your father?
he's into construction (business)
mother?
I feel very happy..
all my friends will be waiting for me..
to hear things about hyderabad.
you know,
we have a secret place at tenali..
we catch up at the same spot regularly.
That's where I'll be giving them a drink party.
what will you tell your friends?
that you are being given unreasonable work and tortured?
no, nothing like that
I like our office very much.
its got a positive vibe since I stepped in
people there are...
more educated and intelligent than me.
while working with them,I get to learn a lot.
Circumstances haven't allowed me to learn anything much in life.
now that I'm learning new things at work is very good.
I have asked you to take KT from preeti on the new project, right
whats the status of that?
she said it would start after the holidays.
ok
forget it..
I'll give you the KT,
we shall start from Monday
do you like your name?
yeah, why?
why?!
I somehow feel your name doesn't suit you..
which one would have been good?
Anjali
Darshini
Kavya
Samyuktha
your name should've been
Srinivas
Gopi
Murali
Ravi
Jagadeesh
your name suits you best
"RAMAKRISHNA"
take a patent!
this is the first time I've seen you laughing in 3 months.
festivals excite me
they have been designed only for us to enjoy them.
you see our mothers during festivals..
when they sit before the God and pray
they look cuter than the God himself.
yeah, this is my house..
you can park the car inside.
whats your plan?
return after festival or will you stay back for the weekend?
no, actually my parents are looking for some marriage alliances..
one of them might get set..
there is a background check in progress, on the girl
once that's done,
we shall confirm the dates
I will mostly come back after the festival.
what about you?
don't plan your return with me
you leave..
my dad will arrange my travel
you seem to have put on weight
moms generally tell kids that they've slimmed down
look at you..!
girls of your age are married and living happily
look at you
so what? won't I get married if I get fat?
not if you become headstrong
don't talk to me amma!
Ram and you...?
fine!,
whats happened has happened..
you choose a guy and it didn't work out, right?
now give us a chance to look for a guy
amma!!
i told you not to talk to me, right?
don't talk to me
you have put on weight it seems
yeah, I've got a lot of work at office.
I don't find time for the gym.
all the break up stress
its showing off on your food, I see.
are there efforts from your end to meet him?
whatever might be the situation,
whatever problem he might have had with me,
he reminded that I'm 30 dad.
age was never an issue till now,
it suddenly came up..
by the way Ram is also 30
men!! huh
so it means you can stay good even without that guy
so..stay like that.
I saw my mom praying innocently and she really looked sweet.
I don't know if he has said it innocently or wisely but he said it correctly.
he's mediocre
for sure
but an interesting mediocre!
Soujanya, take the sweets
this is our town's famous jilebi
Here is your avakayi
and this is gongura (referring to locally famous and home made pickles)
hey that's ok..
oh,you're back!
you generally don't go home
so I thought you'd stay for 2 more days..
take these
what are these?
these are kajjikayalu ( sweet dish)
this is kaarappoosa (savoury)
my mom made these
this is our town's famous jilebi
you have to taste this.
mail me the SOW by lunchtime
post lunch, work on the reports.
I need everything by CoB
CoB..?
Close of Business.
Is it you who drafted this mail?
wassup Ramakrishna?
what's happening in Tenali?
people back home said I've got used to Hyderabad well,
I got fairer it seems..
ok, lets meet in the breaktime
hey Ramesh, tell me..
you came and left without meeting..
it was all very hurried dude,
didn't get time to meet everyone
you were here for the festival?
yeah, came for festival
and I had another work too, will tell you (later)
is your marriage set, by any chance?
you know I won't marry without you being there, right
you have become very busy since you went to Hyderabad.
ok, let me hangup, I'm in office.
don't plan any leaves till next month
if you have planned any surprise leaves,forget them.
I mean...
what?
I've planned to take my parents to Tirupati and also booked online for suprabhata seva 2 months before..
fine
if you go on friday, will you be back by Monday?
I will go on friday and come back on monday.
I too asked the same.
you asked me to remind you about the training once we're back
we used to sit at tenali and wonder why people here are paid so high,
I now understand..
its a matter of days for you.
Once you get married,
you also will leave everything and jump home at 6pm like everyone else
you went home nah
when is your marriage?
what do I say about it..
I don't know if I'm even destined for marriage!
what happened?
the one who mediated the alliance
wrongly mentioned my age as 29
I didn't know all these
once the horoscopes were seen,
the actual matter came out.
you mean..?
the girl rejected as I was older than she thought.
so,
because you are older,
that girl rejected you..?
mmhmmm
whats your dinner plan?
Its my treat,
let's go.
Leave your bike here itself.
not to mention, you have a loads of sadism inside you!
come in..
I'll stay here
shall we get to the terrace?
ok, stay here
Cheers
you don't drink, right?
why didn't you let me know?
I thought it wouldn't be nice if you had it alone
its mandatory for men to drink and women should not drink
there is no such law! (contextual)
its all here (in the mind)
whats in your mind?
down there..your friends..
Oh, that..?
I met Isha in Bangalore
back then, I used to go for swimming classes
Manish is her boyfriend.
They are in a live-in since an year.
will they marry?
who knows?
if 2 individuals like doing something, there's nothing called wrong Ramakrishna.
you talk very intellectually.
On seeing you, I wonder if women are this intellegent..
no no
I didn't mean it that way
positively speaking
take it as a compliment
finally
you got rejected by a girl and came back
is that it?
what if its a girl?
they too have their own tastes, right?
I know I'm not a goodlooking guy
for 33 years
I haven't left tenali
there isn't much money I saved either.
That doesn't mean I look down upon myself.
why because
I can work hard
and be contended with what I have.
Instead of pointing out my deficiancies,
if I get a girl who can adjust with what I have, I'll be happy.
Can't stop outsiders from thinking what they want,
but when own relatives look down upon me,
it keeps hurting
as though I have deliberately refused this marriage.
Afterall, who doesn't wish?
to have a person in their life?
Ramakrishna, you know Hindi?
a little bit..
English?
yes, I understand
I saw your FB profile,
very nice pictures
especially that girl kissing you in that pic..
you are very cool
nothing like girl kissing..
my friend software..
my friend has a software and he made that picture.
morphed pic?
ya!
so she's not your girlfriend?
No girlfriend,
I'm looking for marriage
direct marriage?
yes, direct marriage.
not even half girlfriend?
no..only marriage.
oh, how then?,
no experience..
Isha!!
experince is needed..
Hey Ramakrishna, don't mind.
Isha and Manish are on a high
otherwise they are very sweet.
that's ok Bhanu.
they might not have seen a person like me,
so I'd have appeared different.
They look good as a pair.
That girl, though not fair colored,
has got a glow in her face.
how do you be like this, always positive?
don't you get bored?
I don't think so deep,
I get scared.
I can't stop laughter
and can't control tears..
just like my mom.
People used to scold me when I was a child
saying why do you cry like a girl.
After my sister was born,
even she used to make fun of me.
oh, so you have a younger sister?
she's not with us now,
she has loved a christian guy and went away with him.
This august it'll be 5years she left.
What face will my dad put up after that?
I guess that's why he doesn't seek any alliance for me.
shall I offer you an advice?
Not as a boss,
as Bhanu.
If you love someone, respect them.
that means respecting their likes/ choices too.
what are you staring at?
nothing
I somehow feel you are in deep s**t
Bunty
I want to learn to converse well in english at any cost.
how old you said you are? 35?
no, just 33.
happy for you.
when you lived happily without knowing english until now, what makes it so impotrant to learn it now?
poor Bhanu!
has to take all the client calls as I'm not fluent in english.
so that's it
oh!..so now you want to slowly learn English,
and converse with your clients
seeing which your boss gets impressed and sends you to US
where they think you are capable and ask you to stay back
in the meantime you will come to India and marry
and later,you, your wife and your future kids
will unnecessarily talk in English even at home.
we have to like your happy family on FB, is that it?
with so many intentions in mind,
you act and pose like an innocent fellow.
why are you irritated?
what do I say? I'm hungry and that chocolate milk shake has not yet come.
ordered right, it'll come..
why do you get irritated?
that's not the only reason..
now a days my friends have started ignoring me.
before you came,all of us used to chill at my place itself
but don't know why,they've completely stopped coming.
I understood,
its because I'm there right..
moreover I'm elder to all of you, so..
you all feel uncomfortable, right.
I think he's getting it
let's do this.
ask them to forget all that,
tomorrow we shall get a nice carrom board from the market.
by this sunday evening
happily, we'll cook hot pakodi and
we will play caroms
and on sundays, we all shall
visit Tankbund, lumbini park, birla mandir,
wonder la, zoo park, ocean park, imax
if we start early, we can go see golkonda also.
Hi
whats up?
chocolate milkshake
wow,chocolate milkshake!
ok, I'll be back from the washroom.
Bhanu loves chocolate milkshake dude.
how long has it been since you came to hyderabad
3 months
where have you been staying since then?
I've been staying with you..
do you know what I love to eat?
you'd eat anything, right.
ramakrishna, lets leave, it's already late..
we got to reach inox in this traffic.
we'll carry this too
dude, you order another one and have it.
yeah fine, you go,you're already getting late.
you have your dinner,I'll eat and come.
what do you want Sir!
one more chocolate milk shake with extra chocolate chips, extra chocolate sauce and extra chocolate icecream.
chocolate is finished sir. we have guava if you want
you mean the Guava!
..not chips, this is the time to have piping hot mirapakay bajji
Ramakrishna,
have you sent the accounts data?
yeah, sent it..got an OK reply.
ok lets go out.
we both?
why?
won't you come?
brother, we shall play again..
whose house is this?
you sit here, I'll just go in and come..ok?
I could see a lot of emotions I was not used to
they were beautiful!
this person beside me has a world so different than mine!
didn't expect at all
thanks a lot
sshh,
you are happy right..
if people around us are happy,
we will be happy too
I remember someone saying this to me.
His name is..
Tenali Ramakrishna!
Anyone who knows you will easily understand that you miss your sister.
but no one ever did anything Bhanu.
I once again understood that I don't understand guys.
Yesterday, I saw a new Ramakrishna.
Honestly, i should've been angry, but I didn't.
Ramakrishna, is my print out here?
will you stop the drama?
or continue being like this?
I'm liking everything he does.
By the way, I'm liking myself too!
girls like guys having sense of humour.
I didn't ask you to laugh..
make others laugh.
Throw some side smiles in between talks..
yeah! like this..
also talk some philosophy in between.
Hi Ravi
Hi!
how are you?
I'm good.
hows the project going on?
yeah, its good.
its on time?
yes
great! I'm glad you like the work.
thanks!
yeah, ok.
OK, i'll call you later, bye.
good morning Samar.
hey Bhanu..
Bhanu..er..
I saw that appreciation mail..
good job.
thank you Samar!
you know, Ramakrishna has also worked very hard along with me,
he deserves half the credit too.
good job Bhanu
He looks beautiful to me.
not only him,
anyone who is smiling wholeheartedly looks beautiful.
Beauty is afterall an eye catchy visual, right!
hello!
hello..
where are you?
fat pegion bro
you lied to me that you'll go home after office!
Rakesh came along, so..
don't play around..
you are avoiding me because we are not able to use my place since Ramakrishna came here.
he forced me, so..
cut the crap
no peace of mind at all.
Bunty, what are you doing here?
you put the cigarette wrong.
who told you I'm here?
you wore a white shirt right (I could easily spot you)
feeling low and wanted to have a peg, looks like I won't have that comfort too.
today noon, our office team went out for a lunch
want to have a look at the pics?..
see
see look at this pic,
Bhanu is smiling beautifully right?
Bhanu is beautiful..right?
look here
and this one here..
generally I don't give free advice to anyone
but since you are a nice fellow and lucky that I'm drunk, I want to tell you something..
listen carefully to what I say.
do you realize which way you are heading?..
you will feel bad if I say anything.
just between you and me,
you are around 35 right?
33 only
the difference between 35 and 33 is not 10 years,
33 is also a big number, not a small one.
you think i'm younger to you and don't know anything
I do observe everything.
daily you comb your hair side ways,today you combed it up.
where is the bottu on your forehead?
face talc, muscles, exercises.. everything have increased.
you think I don't know.
all this is only to get close to that woman,right?
why talk about a girl like that? its bad!
listen to this carefully..
if a girl is married at 22 it means she's cute,
if she's unmarried at 26, it means she's confused,
if even at 30 a girl is unmarried, it means she's complicated.
complicated?
for that matter
I'm also of the same age group, isn't?
your delay is not because of lack of need but due to lack of opportunity
even though she's 30,
there is a little girl inside Bhanu
and that's her beauty.
she solves all issues at work very effortlessly.
I feel a sense of pride on seeing her.
I still sometimes get amazed by her words.
Bhanu is well brought up,
she's brought up to be an ideal woman!
come bunty,
come on
sit down
he directly brought her home.
Hi bunty,
you both have a talk, I'll be right back
hi bunty
how is your course going on?
courses are all boring Bhanu,
why because there are not much lady lecturers in the market.
you're funny
this is not fun, the real fun is when my friends are around..
you know, like next generation fun..mmm!
don't mind his words
he thinks ginger and jaggery - both are similar and sour! (contextual)
Ramakrishna's sense of humour is like 6th sense,
we hardly ever know if it exists.
but he's good actually.
he makes people smile at office.
his humour is outdated,
are there still audience for it?
will you take over your dad's business or planning on your own?
before this business, job and all,
I have planned a youthful, beautiful, romantic love story.
I didn't tell this to RK too.
why because, by looks he is elder to us but if he talks he sounds elder to my dad.
this movie had super craze back then.
we used to mass bunk college to go watch this
are you talking about Kushi?
yes, Kushi
were you in college during kushi time?
yea..
so you belong to that time period!!..
let me see your birth certificate.
was there even a municipal corporation in your town when you were born?
it means, all these days you managed with makeup..
he's innocent and so believed in all these,
i won't tolerate you cheating him like this..
you hit me or beat me..I'll save him anyhow.
hey what happened? where is Bhanu?
we had an arguement over age and she left
what actually happened?
madam's maintanence is high!
is there any connect between her age and her coverage..?
to a kid like me she says she was in college during kushi
if you ask, she'd definitely discount 3-4 years from her age.
poor girl came for dinner dude,
you blabbermouth..drunkard!
even I came for dinner bro!
good that it happened..
hey Ramakrishna,
come on..come sit
sit down..where have you been?
I'm tired of searching for you
..looking smart
don't pull his leg
see his dress
what's the matter?
nothing of that sort.
Bhanu came to my home for dinner
I was in the kitchen when
Bunty spoke some nonsense
you know her anger right?,she left without eating..
I got her food packed,
ask her to eat it later.
Ram, first tell me what's the actual thing?
see, he's changed completely..
how was he when he came and look at him now..
his body language and dressing sense,
everything changed -
village boy to handsome boy.
yeah, he's become smarter
can I ask you a question?
what?
you
both look good (together).
I mean, nice..nice
you make a nice pair..
i don't understand these live-in relationship and all,
but...
the thought that you'd one day part ways is sad..
don't you feel anything??
Raam!..
Ramakrisha..you know what,
you are very good.
Bhanu also says the same.
She came back without eating anything, because of me.
She's been hungry since evening..
I don't think she'll wake up now
so please ask her to eat once she's awake..
this is all beacuse of bunty.
Bhanumati has her share of mood swings.
She just out of a break up.
She's pretending to be happy,
but
I know she's not happy.
don't take her seriously.
that's perfectly fine
I'll leave
but
ask her to eat..
bye Ram
Good night
take care
forget it nimmy, read the next mail.
Dear Mr. Ram,
please find attached the quotation for your upcoming event with a guest list of 500 at Heritage Awali, Mauritius.
there is no need to open the attachment,
you anyways will have the full information.
hey Ram,
ssh
dad's calling me.. don't talk.
ha dad.
ha Nimmy, where are you?
i'm showing my designs for Arvind uncle's plan.
when will you come home?
I'll get late.
got to finish all my works before marriage right
so..
ok, take care,
bye.
ok bye
you laughing!
when you said you'll share the marriage budget my dad thought you are a gentleman.
the real marriage would be when he comes to know that you brought me to hotel room like this.
people generally plan honeymoon in Mauritius,
not wedding.
its not enough for me - only if honeymoon is romantic
the wedding should be too!
that too with only those people who really matter to us Ram
the six month survey you did for this destination wedding shouldn't go waste,
atleast a documentary should be filmed.
are you making fun of me?
I even had to take care of your suit measurements..
so irresponsible..
I put my life in your hands,
don't know what's going to happen.
look who's talking
you were gazing at the rearview mirror and applying lipstick when you rammed your car.huh!
that's not lipstick,
its chapstick.
looks like I came from the US for your pick ups and drops.
Nimmy..
Nimmy, what are you doing?
what the f**k is happening Ram??!
Bhanu mailed
looking for a patch up with you
let me just see it.
do you have anything to do with her?
tell me now itself.
of course, no!
baby, i don't have anything to do with her
don't touch..
clear it to me now.
what do you want me to do now?
call her
what?
I said, call her Ram
Ram!
ok, fine.
hello!
Bhanu.
ya
you should have understood whom you are talking to, by seeing the number.
excuse me!
but still, let me introduce myself to you again.
I'm Nimisha Boppana
Ram's fiancee.
I haven't been taught how to talk to people who break relations for their convenience.
Now that I'm anyway talking to you, let me tell you this
partners aren't pets Bhanu, to be at your beck and call
By dating a girl like you
Ram understood the value of a girl like me..
its not me who's saying this,
Ram said this himself..
you can hear it from him if you like.
chocolate shake,your favourite
who are you?
who are you, I'm asking!..
how dare you open my laptop
..and send a mail from my ID??
One complaint to cyber crime and you'll be behind the bars.
I thought I was helping a small town guy so that your career would take off,
you are just disgusting!!
If left alone, you'd have been a watchman or security guard with your skills.
You, but, showed your small time mentality.
Who are you to interfere in my personal things?
you were the one who called up my sister and brought us together..
I thought this was the same.
are you and I same?
I don't want to see you again.
I'll leave if you are to stay here.
You would need this job to get married.
I'm not in such a bad state
why am I like this mom.
how, you mean?
like this!
Ramakrisha..
these days will anyone have this name?
whats wrong?
you are clean as a moon.
I think it would've been better if I hadn't been to hyderabad at all..
really!!
I never desired for something beyond my qualification mom.
But, what to do?
I truly loved Bhanu...
loved her a lot.
cheers
tell me a truth
would you be the same if I had a brother?
what do you think?
I doubt
the day I saw you born,
I decided I wanted no one else.
You know,
your mom still keeps pestering me..
saying we don't have a son.
As the same father, I ask you
what's your problem?
You are getting confused over your own choices, correct?
Isha called you?
I'm scared dad..
what will people think.
what's his name?
Ramakrishna.
you remember,
that's the name of your Bujji mavayya (uncle) too
RAMAKRISHNA
the name and person are a total mismatch.
Bujji mavayya (uncle) is very cool.
Ramakrishna is also cool dad,
in his own way.
He's a very good guy dad.
I spoke harsh with him.
I love Ramakrishna dad.
Anyone would like him.
so whats the problem.
go, say sorry to him.
he isn't here dad..
he went back to tenali.
go where ever he is
and say what you intend to..
I trust you.
hello
Isha
get ready
we shall go today..
to tenali
now!
now??
why don't you go in the morning?
I fear I'll turn Bhanu again by morning dad.
all it took was 5 minutes to move on from a 5 year relation and forget that guy.
for a person whom I know for just 6 months,
I'm travelling 300 km in the middle of a night.
Anyone will be judgemental, seeing me.
Logically that's right,
but I'm in not a position to believe in logic now.
don't think too much.
if I were in your position,
I would've done the same
Happiness isn't the same for everyone
its unique for each one of us.
Only Ramakrishna knows what my happiness is.
I'm not going for him now,
but for myself.
when are you coming to hyderabad?
why did you come here?
why are you talking like this?
why don't you speak?
I'm no longer working under you.
I don't have to answer you.
I want to be alone,
so please..
ok,
you are very angry on me right.
Ok listen, I'm really sorry.
I really behaved crazy,
you didn't even utter a word in reply.
I should have respected that atleast.
you told what you wanted to,
now please leave.
did you ever talk to me like this?
just because I came running for you in the middle of a night,
I sound trivial right.
you don't have to hurt your ego
and listen to what I say.
Its better you leave.
how were you when we first met?
you were happy, smiling,
patient, pleasant,
joyful with everyone
I thought you were special
I actually even treated you specially
I don't know if you got it.
Look at me
its been 2 days I bathed
didn't even eat properly.
I came all the way from hyderabad, that too at midnight.
No one can tolerate me except you I believe.
Don't see it as thinking for myself.
I too am good,
just that I've increased self respect.
I'm not calculative that Bhanu.
I'm a simple man.
I want to marry someone I deserve
and live happily with what I have.
Please don't make me talk more than this.
more than the mail you sent to Ram
the fact that you have no feelings towards me hurt a lot.
at the end of it, you don't like me..
is that it?
You didn't even like my name.
I remember you said it.
BHANUMATI
will anyone have that name these days?
you want a young girl, do you?
what do I call you now?
RAMAKRISHNA.
Your name suits you the best,
listen to me and take a patent.
BHANUMATI RAMAKRISHNA
this is even better.
Shall we patent it?
