"Garlands exchanged on an auspicious day"
"In the most perfumed way
Adorns the bride's shoulder today"
"May you both be blessed
In love and laughter immersed"
"May fortune shower for eternity
with prosperity and plenty"
[song from 'December Pookkal']
Muthu!
Will you follow me
like a lost pup, dear?
Go and be seated
- Bride's room, huh?
- Go and sit
'We are not allowed'
- See if you have to pin this
- Greetings
I am Muthulakshmi
Kannan's class mate
Is that so?
Which grade
We studied together
till 8th grade
Then?
Kannan continued and I didn't
My father wanted me to look after
our coconut business
Okay!
You look beautiful
You are decked with all the jewelry
No bridal make up, huh?
Why do you want me to stand on
the stage looking ashen like a ghost?
When guests who attended
our wedding meet me later on
...I have to keep reminding them
I am the same bride
- Do we need that?
- So true
As it is you are so fair
Why do you even need make up?
Boodham sir, is the banquet
vegetarian or non vegetarian?
What is the event here?
What are you harping on?
- Keep quiet
- Just a matter of curiosity
Then go to the kitchen
and find out
So you don't intend eating?
"Love will continue forever
with no stumbling blocks to sever"
Bride doesn't look like
she's from this area
How did you agree?
- Hey Arumugam, keep quiet
- Okay
- Mother
- Bharathi
Come forward
Grandma, such a fair beauty
same complexion as our MGR
Did you ever think your family will get?
Look at her properly
True
May virtue, principles of life
and love be granted in plenty
To be blessed with whatever is desired
To attain the pinnacle
of fame successfully
With God as sublime guide
Conform to the code
of the classic Thirukkural
With praise from world over
May Kamala Kannan and Bharathi
lead a long life as husband and wife
What are you doing here?
Not coming in to eat?
If appa finds out
you'll be dead meat!
Common knowledge on a wedding eve
friends chill out and drink
Fathers world over know this
Care to join us?
Are you drinking
because I'm married?
Or because you are still bachelors?
Kanna, come up
You are wanted here
I'm coming
Drink less and eat fast
Kanna, best wishes
for your first night
What do you mean by 'first' night?
Hasn't he seen a night before?
Partner, in every marriage
a girl gets a husband
But a friend loses his friend
Understood?
Tanked, huh?
Grandma, I'm leaving for work
I'm off to work
Old people look forward to
their daughter-in-law
...taking over the household chores
The tables are turned here
Like Indira Gandhi, prim and proper,
with a purposeful stride
'Then who is to do
all the household chores?'
'Who will cook?'
Who will wash the clothes?
Am I her servant maid
to do all this?
'At daybreak women usually
come to my house to work'
'A woman from my household
shouldn't go out to work'
Ganesha
'Yes, bro'
Is the farm house empty?
'Yes, bro, whitewashed
I have it spic and span'
I'll explain later
Come there with the keys
- Yes, uncle
- Don't unload
Wait for a while
We may have to go
somewhere else
Okay!
Hey, what's happening here?
I want her to stop working
and stay put at home
You want them to go
and live separately
What does he know?
You madcap!
I am keeping quiet
because you are my mother
1st you were his grandmother
Then you became his mother
Now mother-in-law, huh?
Go inside!
Amma...!
Mother!
I am leaving half my life behind
Please take good care of my son
