00:00You
00:30You
01:00You
01:30You
02:00You
02:30You
02:42Yeah
03:00You won't understand if I tell you.
03:02At this age, no one looks after you when you're old.
03:06We have to look after our health.
03:08When the three men from Kadagadiyamarai were alive,
03:10they brought Laila to the island.
03:12Yes, they brought her to the island.
03:15They should have airlifted her to America or Germany.
03:20But they didn't come to India as refugees.
03:22Here's the money.
03:23We have two extra bottles of milk in our flat.
03:26Five bottles?
03:27Yes.
03:28The kids will love this.
03:30Yes, they will.
03:31Our love will expire after retirement.
03:33The country won't allow us to come here often.
03:35Once a year, we can come and go.
03:38It's been three years.
03:40We'll come only when someone dies.
03:43We don't want the country or the people.
03:55Okay, have a positive day.
03:58Have a positive day?
04:00You're negative all the time.
04:02Have a positive day.
04:03Don't be stupid.
04:04Go back to your country.
04:05Why are you being so negative?
04:07Am I being negative?
04:08My kids are studying abroad.
04:11If they leave, I don't even have to expect them to come back.
04:13You shouldn't expect them to come back.
04:15Don't be stupid.
04:16I'm not stupid.
04:17They worked so hard to bring us up.
04:19What's the point of looking after us?
04:21Damban and I are planning
04:23to move to a beautiful assisted living home in the mountains.
04:28It's not for the kids or the relatives.
04:30What's an assisted living home?
04:32It's a place for people to look after us.
04:35Not for doctors, nurses, cooking, cleaning.
04:39It's a waste of time.
04:41You can say that.
04:42You can say that.
04:43Come, let's go.
04:45It's a waste of time.
04:48We're going to die.
04:49Mini, think about it.
04:52You don't have any responsibility.
04:54You don't have a job.
04:55You're a coward.
04:56Nalini, I get scared when I think about it.
04:59You don't have a job.
05:01You sleep 24 hours a day.
05:03I get scared when I think about it.
05:09You don't have to think about it.
05:11Try to find a good boyfriend.
05:13Don't say that, Nalini.
05:15I can't love nurses.
05:17When I was young,
05:18I didn't care about my children's happiness.
05:21Don't you think it's better to take care of your children?
05:24That's their duty.
05:25We worked hard for them.
05:28Come.
05:29They don't like to hear that.
05:31If we save money for our children,
05:34it's good for us.
05:36It's good.
05:37It's good.
05:38What?
05:39Your skin is burning.
05:41What?
05:42Look at that dress.
05:43Isn't that the dress you wear when you run?
05:45Girls don't like to wear loose dresses.
05:48Anu wants to lose weight.
05:50She doesn't care about that.
05:51We don't want to lose weight.
05:52Look at her.
05:53She doesn't know how to ask questions.
05:55Let her do whatever she wants.
05:57Let her do whatever she wants.
06:03Let it be whatever it is.
06:04Our children are special.
06:06Anu is like my own daughter.
06:09What's wrong with Anu?
06:11Nothing.
06:12Tell me what's wrong.
06:14Nothing.
06:15Don't get angry with me.
06:17Tell me what's wrong.
06:21I'll tell you as a mother.
06:25Tell me.
06:27I've been meaning to tell you.
06:30Tell Anu to be more careful when she walks in the flat.
06:36What's wrong with her dress?
06:38It's not like she walks inside the house.
06:40It's like she walks in the common area of the flat.
06:42It's like she walks in the common area of the flat.
06:43She's wearing the dress that we wear at home.
06:45What's wrong with that?
06:47You're talking as if you don't understand.
06:49You're talking as if you don't understand.
06:51What's wrong with her dress?
06:53What's wrong?
06:54Tell me clearly.
06:56Tell Anu to wear a bra when she walks in the common area of the flat.
07:00What?
07:01A bra.
07:03Come here.
07:05It's good to wear a bra inside the house.
07:07A girl will grow up there.
07:09She'll be like a child to us.
07:12Not everyone is like that.
07:13Everyone is careful.
07:15Anu is not a small girl.
07:17She'll be careful.
07:18She'll make fun of us if we don't tell her.
07:23I can't do that.
07:25Not only if I tell her,
07:27I'll feel bad if other people see us.
07:30What's wrong with men?
07:32We're old.
07:34We should be careful about girls.
07:36Nalini.
07:37Nalini.
07:38What happened?
07:39Come here.
07:42Come.
08:10What?
08:11What?
08:12There's something on your face.
08:15Nothing.
08:18What is it?
08:20Nothing.
08:22It's written on your face.
08:23Is my dress that bad?
08:24No.
08:25I think it's a little exposed.
08:28You were there when I bought this.
08:30You didn't say anything then.
08:31No.
08:32Don't ruin my confidence.
08:34No.
08:35It's okay.
08:36No.
08:37I'm going to change my dress.
08:38Anu.
08:39No.
08:40Change it.
08:59Why did you call me early in the morning?
09:04Mini told me something.
09:07It must be something important.
09:09I told you not to hang out with Dagini.
09:11Don't try to be my father.
09:13I don't mind.
09:14I'll tell you what I feel.
09:17That's why you don't like it.
09:19You don't have to say what's on your mind.
09:22You just have to know what to say and what not to say.
09:27Your friends won't like that.
09:32I don't care who says it.
09:34I just want to know what it is.
09:36Okay.
09:37What is it?
09:38Tell me.
09:39Tell me.
09:42It's about Anu.
09:46Okay.
10:02Anu.
10:03Are you coming with me?
10:04No.
10:05My cab is waiting for me.
10:07I'm going.
10:08Okay?
10:09Samban.
10:10Don't forget to sign the cheque.
10:13I forgot.
10:18Reenu.
10:19Where are you taking her?
10:21To buy a pen at the supermarket.
10:23No. I'll go and buy it.
10:24Okay.
10:29Here.
10:30Don't break this.
10:31It's time. I'm going.
10:35I'll come with you.
10:37Hurry up.
10:42Here.
10:44Oh my God.
10:45Here.
10:46Don't tell the priest.
10:48Tell Anu how to present this.
10:50Hey.
10:51This is about a woman.
10:53You're dealing with women, right?
10:56As a father, it's difficult for me to tell my daughter.
10:59What do you say?
11:00I can't.
11:01I'm treating her in a different way.
11:04What do you mean?
11:05I don't mind if you don't put this in my bag.
11:09Let the people in the community take care of it.
11:15I can't stand my daughter talking like that.
11:18This is so difficult.
11:20I'm wearing a jacket.
11:22Why do you have to lift my bag?
11:25I'm getting late.
11:26I'll talk to you later.
11:27It's getting late.
11:28Bye.
11:34No.
11:41I don't doubt you.
11:50I don't have anything.
11:52Is it a love letter?
11:53Yes, a love letter from the bank.
12:04Ah, sister, has Anu gone to the office?
12:06Yes, she's gone.
12:09I'll go and take the steps.
12:12Sister, I'll go and meet her.
12:14Yes, go and meet her.
12:15There's a lot of work to be done.
12:19Have the kids gone to school?
12:21Yes, they're in the bus.

13:43Okay?
13:58What?
13:59What's this?
14:00It's a bit complicated.
14:01It's a bit complicated.
14:02You can't get a hostel.
14:03You can't get a brand.
14:04Where's your mom?
14:05She said she has a headache.
14:06She's sleeping.
14:07Headache?
14:11Hey, Rupin.
14:12Yes?
14:13Go and call your mom.

14:15I'll go and call her.
14:16She's not feeling well.
14:17I'll go and call her.
14:18She'll get upset if you go.

14:22So, I'm not in the mood.

14:40It's irritating.
14:41Go away.
14:42What's the problem?
14:43Tell me.
14:44What's the problem?
14:45She has a headache.
14:46Let me close my eyes for a while.
14:47Do you want medicine?
14:48I don't want medicine.
14:49Don't bother me.
14:50Go away.
14:51If you want to go downstairs,
14:52have food.
14:53Everyone is fine there.
14:54I'm not hungry.
14:55Go away.
14:56What's the matter?
14:57What's the matter?
14:59I know it's not a normal problem.
15:01It's not a headache.
15:02There's something else.
15:04I don't know what it is.
15:05Dad asked me.
15:06Are you going to decide
15:07if I have a headache or not?
15:08Or should I give you
15:09a medical certificate
15:10to prove that you have a headache?
15:13That's not what I meant.
15:15I'm on the wrong side.
15:16I don't have to run
15:17when I hear what dad says.
15:19Take rest.
15:20Didn't you hear me?
15:21You don't want anything else?
15:22Yes, I do.
15:23Turn off the light when you leave.
15:25The light is on.
15:27You can sleep there.
15:28We'll have fun there.
15:30You don't want anything else?
15:31Shut up and leave.
15:32He's such a nuisance.
15:38Where's mom?
15:39She has a headache.
15:40I'll tell you later.
15:41Hi, dear.
15:44What's the matter?
15:45What's wrong with mom?
15:47She's fine there.
15:49There's nothing to worry about.
15:51Dad asked me.
15:52I don't know anything.
15:53Take the food.
15:54Go.
15:55Kids, come.
15:57This is the flat.
15:59I'm Superman.
16:01Don't hit me.
16:02I remember you.
16:04Let's go.
16:07Mom won't let me stay here.
16:09I called her three times.
16:11So, you want to stay here with the kids?
16:14All of us
16:16will make a bomb.
16:17A bomb.
16:18We'll make a bomb.
16:19Do you agree?
16:21Shut up.
16:23Sorry, aunty.
16:24It's a small gift.
16:25I thought so.
16:27Dear,
16:28your dressing sense
16:29is superb.
16:30Our apartment
16:32is the best
16:33for dressing up.
16:34Thank you, aunty.
16:35Reena,
16:36your dress is nice too.
16:39What's the matter with you?
16:41I have a slight headache.
16:42I need to rest.
16:46Coming.
16:48It's not just a headache.
16:49It's because of this dog.
16:51Dad, come here.
16:52Dad, come here.
16:53Let me give you a small hug.
16:55No.
16:56Just one.

17:15Correct.
17:16Hypocrite.

17:25Yes.

17:35Do you know
17:36what that girl

17:45She said
17:46your dress is not right.
17:48People here
17:49blame you
17:50for your dress.
17:51Tell me the truth.
17:52When you walk around
17:53the common area
17:54you should be advised
17:55not to wear a bra.
17:56Who are they
17:57to gossip about my daughter?
17:59Who are they?
18:22That's it.
18:23That's Mini aunty's opinion.
18:25Let her say that.
18:26We don't have to worry.
18:27But
18:28mom is very sad.
18:29That's why she is upset.
18:32I'll talk to mom.
18:34Is dad okay?
18:35Of course.

20:08that comes only if you drink.

20:22It's off.
20:23What happened?
20:24Our family discussion.
20:25Go.
20:26Dad.
20:37Do you remember
20:38when we stayed in
20:39your dad's house in Changanasheri?
20:42I don't remember
20:43seeing photos
20:44or hearing stories.
20:45I don't know
20:46if they are real memories.
20:47I remember something.
20:49I don't remember anything.
20:51There was a cow there.
20:53That's all I remember.
20:55It's nothing.
20:56It was full of skin.
20:58Once a cow ran to bite you.
21:00That's all you remember.
21:04That was a super life.
21:06You were not lucky
21:08to experience that life.
21:11It was not a place
21:12of 10-20 cents like this.
21:14The whole village was ours.
21:17I had a big friend's group.
21:20To swim in the river,
21:22to play in the shuttle,
21:24to study in the school.
21:26It was something else.
21:29That's not what you used to say.
21:31You said it was a trauma.
21:33Trauma comes later.
21:35That's why I'm saying this.
21:37Okay?
21:38I'm not here.
21:39I'm going to bed.
21:40Mom!
21:41I can't think.
21:43Sit down, mom.
21:46I won't blame you.
21:48You were great that day.
21:50You didn't interfere in anything.
21:52Full freedom.
21:53There's no need to interfere.
21:56First of all, I don't have time.
21:58But I have to take care of
22:00the people in the house.
22:02There's no need to control.
22:05I grew up like that.
22:10Me?
22:11I was a super badminton player.
22:14I even beat my brothers.
22:17One day,
22:18when I came back after playing
22:20badminton like this,
22:22there was a huge crowd in front of the house.
22:25Everyone was there.
22:26Devi Chitta,
22:27Amma,
22:28Achamma,
22:29Sushma Chitta.
22:31When I came in without knowing anything,
22:33Amma immediately
22:34told me not to walk around.
22:36She beat me a lot.
22:38That day,
22:39when I was playing badminton,
22:41Devi went there for some reason.
22:43She said,
22:44the boys there
22:45didn't want to listen to you.
22:48Everyone scolded me a lot.
22:50They asked me how to talk about
22:52our son.
22:56They said,
22:57I don't know how to take care of the kids.
22:59I'm not attentive.
23:00What did they say?
23:08That...
23:12The comments about the body parts
23:14that boys always talk about.
23:16The comments about my height.
23:18The comments about me jumping
23:20when I was playing badminton.
23:23And if you remember,
23:24I was only 12-13 years old then.
23:28That hasn't changed today.
23:31The standards of the comments are the same.
23:34At that time,
23:35when I was walking,
23:36the comments would say,
23:37I'm not like that.
23:39Good.
23:40But there's nothing to be proud of.
23:42That's like basic.
23:44I can't believe that
23:45you beat me up often.
23:48At that time,
23:49it was like World War 3.
23:52My family stopped playing badminton.
23:57Dressing was everyone's
23:59favorite topic of discussion.
24:03I was the only girl in my family
24:05who didn't play badminton.
24:08The comments about my height
24:10were hidden,
24:11clear,
24:12funny,
24:13and serious.
24:15It was everyone's
24:16creative opinion.
24:18And on top of that,
24:19Adolescence Hormonal Changes.
24:21The perfect combination.
24:25Wasn't I young then?
24:28My father was working in Bombay.
24:31I didn't know
24:32how to deal with all this alone.
24:35There were hundreds of people
24:36around me to advise me.
24:38I didn't know anything.
24:41My body changed suddenly.
24:44When I look in the mirror,
24:45I can't even explain
24:48my anger,
24:49insecurities,
24:50discomfort.
24:56I was worried
24:57if everyone was paying attention
24:58to what I had.
25:01I tied myself up
25:02as tightly as possible
25:03before going to school
25:04so that I wouldn't be noticed.
25:07I started feeling pain
25:08in the evening.
25:11My body turned red.
25:15Slowly,
25:16it started affecting my marks.
25:19I was in my room.
25:20I would not leave the room.
25:23But thankfully,
25:24my father got transferred
25:25to Kochi at that time.
25:27She got a small change
25:28with the new place
25:29and school in Kochi.
25:32But we continued
25:33our fight strongly.
25:36A teacher in Anu's school
25:37actually helped us a lot.
25:43Bridget Rocky, ma'am.
25:44Yes.
25:46Was she my class teacher?
25:49Yes, Bridget Rocky
25:50is our biology teacher.
25:51She has taught me.
25:53She is a very good teacher.
25:55Ma'am, you were great.
25:56Scene dressing,
25:57amazing attitude.
25:59Ma'am adopted us.
26:01Ma'am forced us
26:04to join the counselling.
26:07Luckily, our counsellor
26:08was a nice person.
26:10Since then,
26:11new Nalini.
26:12Nalini 2.0.
26:15It took a lot of effort
26:16for both of us.
26:18It was not easy at all.
26:20But it was worth it.
26:22I was very happy
26:23It was not easy at all.
26:24But it was worth it.
26:28Did you forget all that, ma'am?
26:31How can I forget all that?
26:33Then why are we
26:34going back to the past, ma'am?
26:38We were okay
26:39after so much effort.
26:42Do you want to suffer
26:43just because I suffered?
26:48Ma'am is the best mom
26:49in the world for us.
26:50That's right.
26:52That's enough.
26:54What's the point
26:55of being the best mom
26:56in Mini aunty's book?
27:01I'm saying all this
27:02so that both of you
27:03can understand.
27:06Being a teenager is tricky.
27:08It's not going to be easy.
27:10There will be a lot of confusions
27:11and insecurities
27:13and questions.
27:15But you don't have to
27:16suffer alone.
27:18You can ask for advice
27:19but only with a professional.
27:22Okay?
27:24Ma'am,
27:26can I talk to Mini aunty?
27:30Because no matter what you say,
27:32I'm not going to change.
27:34I'll only do things
27:35that give me confidence.
27:45No.
27:46I'll talk to her.
27:51I'll talk to her.
28:07I talked to her
28:09about what Mini said yesterday.
28:11That's good.
28:12No matter how much
28:13the kids grow up,
28:14it's good to have
28:15a control over them.
28:19Mini.
28:21If this dog bites you,
28:23whose fault is it?
28:25Just say it.
28:26It's not anyone's fault.
28:27It's the dog's nature
28:28to bite.
28:30Then I'll say
28:31it's Mini's fault.
28:33It bit you
28:34in the morning
28:35when the dog was here.
28:37Why in the morning?
28:38It has no tail or head.
28:40Just say it.
28:41Why are you walking in the morning?
28:43Why are you provoking the dog?
28:45You don't have a dog at home, right?
28:46How can the dog
28:47stay at home?
28:48Then why are you afraid
28:49of the people around you
28:50and why do you want
28:51her love and freedom?
28:54It's not like that.
28:56It's not like that, Mini.
28:57She's like your own daughter.
28:59So if anyone
29:00says anything about her,
29:01shouldn't we
29:02believe what they say?
29:06Can you tie everyone's hair?
29:08Not all dogs
29:09can be bitten.
29:11I won't say
29:12Mini stays at home.
29:13But the dog that comes
29:14to bite Mini
29:15will be bitten
29:16or kicked by me.
29:18Otherwise,
29:19I won't let Mini
29:20sit at home
29:21and take rest.
29:24That's...
29:25Mini,
29:26if anyone
29:27says anything
29:28about our dogs,
29:29you should
29:30look them in the eye
29:31and scold them.
29:32You said
29:33she's like your own daughter.
29:35Say it.
