'Megamalai'
Having separate connections for both the houses is such a pain
Till now whatever I have said is the 1st limitation of my invention
This machine capable of magical wonders...
...has a 2nd constraint
What I mean is...
...its limit
An extremely crucial one
Let me tell you abou-
It will wor-
Say 'hello' to your father
He doesn't want you and me, right?
This laboratory is his whole world, right?
Tell your father
Priya
Is this a playground?
How many times have I told you not to bring the baby here?
This is full of chemicals
Imagine if even a drop falls on you or our baby?
I didn't topple anything
All your son's fault...!
He has come here to give a gift to his dad with so much love!
And you're scolding us
Priya, watch your ste-
'Let us not give your father even a single gift'
Shall we keep all the gifts?
Priya...?
You mentioned a gift
And then you walked off in a huff
What was the gift?
Happy Birthday
You're such an acclaimed scientist!
You are not even aware you should give a return gift!
Gift?!
Return gift...?
Which means...
...something is brewing in your mind!
What do you want me to give?
Will you do it for me?
Have I ever said 'no' to you?
Tell me
Don't continue this experiment
Let go of it
You are so deeply involved in this research
I am so worried it will only lead to some disaster
Priya...!
This invention of mine is 99% most unlikely to work
But...
...if at all
...if at all it works-
Even if whatever you are scared about does happen...
...I know I can fix it
Whom am I doing all this for?
For you
And for our son
What's my little prince complaining about now?
He is hungry Wants milk it seems
- Hold him for 5 minutes - Where are you off to?
I'll be right back
- Priya...hey! - I'll be back
I'm neck deep in work-
Give me just 5 minutes
Sweetypie
No matter what anyone says you are your mother's pet
Even when we admit you in school...
...don't take your father's surname
I will make sure you take your mother's name
Are you okay with that?
You will lie down here for a while
Lie down comfortably
Rest a bit
(baby crying)
Oh...o...o Why...why?
Don't cry, sweetypie
Mother is coming
I'll ask your mother to sing for you
Your favourite song, okay?
(birds chirping)
(water flowing)
1 minute...patience, dear
(baby fretting)
There you go
(baby's squeal of delight)
He is all smiles listening to his amma's voice
Mamma's boy!
"Our little bundle of love You're born to rule, sleep now"
"Hush a bye baby Sleep listening to this lullaby"
"Our cherished flower scented sweet You're born to conquer, now sleep"
"Rest, my little one so dear Sleep, my treasure trove of laughter"
"In the crystal depths of your eyes all your sorrows will subside"
"With the wave of your hand fancy my world functions in normalcy"
"In your every tiny heartbeat my whole life revolves complete"
"Hush, my baby Listen to my lullaby"
"Our little bundle of love You're born to rule, sleep now"
"For every person born on earth there is a purpose to unearth"
"You are my expressive essence You are my entire sustenance"
"My penance paid rich dividends I am blessed with you, my little prince"
"Sleep, my pearl crescent of joy Sweet dreams, my precious boy"
"Hush, my baby Listen to my lullaby"
"Our little bundle of love You're born to rule, sleep now"
Good afternoon, sir
Has he started?
I was with him all morning, sir
He should be done by now
He was supposed to start by 4:00 p.m
I heard sounds from the lab
He must have started
Sir, I've been working all these years for you
You said you would reward me suitably
Priya...!
Priya, it's working
Yes...!
I did it
My watch is working!
Priya
Priya?
Priya
In the same womb 36 weeks we lay beside; cheek to cheek
Within few minutes gap we came out to our mother's lap
Identical in identity Twins, you and me
What was the difference in time between you and me being born?
3 minutes
Just
180 seconds
Those 180 seconds have moulded us
Opposites of each other 180 degrees apart
That's time...!
Look how it has played in our lives
Who can analyse time better than you, right?
Doctor
Sethuraman
You
You are the perfect son
A celebrated scientist
The one who made Phoenix Watch Company
...India's leading enterprise
Model husband Most loving father
Etc...etc
Etcetera!
But I, on the other hand
I am
A brilliant villain
Happy birthday, my dear twin brother
Where is the birthday gift for your brother?
I have come
For my watch
Athreya, just don't hurt Priya
Happy birthday
...to me!
Sethu
Look at me
Priya
Search every nook and corner
Hurry up
I'm sure he must have hidden the watch here
Where is our baby?
He is...
...in the secret room
Aiyo! Priya
What happened?
The watch
It is with him
- Mithra - Sir?
It must be in some watch case, Mithra
Please don't tell him where the watch is
If he finds out where it is he will kill our baby
(baby crying)
Silence!
Sir
We have looked everywhere, sir
The watch is not here
It must be here
I heard their baby crying
I want that baby
- Go, search - Okay, sir
Where the hell is it?
Don't...!
Don't hurt her
Priya
Athreya
She will suffocate
She can't breathe
Athreya, don't hurt her
You are mistaken
My experiment is not yet done
Give me 5 minutes
I'll make it work and hand it over to you
I swear, trust me
'Priya...!'
'Priya, it's working, Priya!'
'I did it'
'My watch is working!'
Think I'm deaf?
Did you think I'm stone deaf?
Poor Priya! She may die
What do you mean 'She may die'?
Let go
Please...don't kill her
I'm begging you
Priya
Don't cry
Please don't cry
Stop!
Over there
(baby crying)
(muffled crying)
(Train whistling)
Hurry
You'll be fine
NO
Go
Move
Faaaast!
(baby crying)
I'm sorry, my son
(baby crying)
GO
Your beloved brother
...did not have the heart to leave his twin all alone
For the last time
Where is the watch?
What you didn't tell me
Your son just did!
You are a very lucky man
Your birth day and the day you died
...are one and the same
May you live long!

'26 Years later'
Maaaa?
Coming
- Hurry up - I am coming
I have other customers to visit
Wait, don't hassle me
The walls here are covered with clocks
But completely oblivious to the value of time
Come soon, ma
I have other places to go
As if people are waiting spreading a red carpet for you!
What's wrong with him?
He didn't switch off the light
When he gets the bill he will get enlightened!
Aiyo! I could have got electrocuted
Why hasn't he fixed this switch as yet?
I've been telling him like a broken record!
Why are you so impatient?
Can't you see I'm coming?
As if you will trade something out of this world?
You'll throw away your old junk
I have boxes filled with gold and diamond
Why don't you take them?
Fat hopes!
Finished breakfast?
Of course!
What is this box?
Hey! How did this get here?
Wait, let me take a look
What do you use this for?
I pound ginger and garlic I hammer nails with it
Prop up our chair with a broken leg
We even swat mosquitoes with it
I can't sell this
This box is as old as my son!
What is inside this box?
Who knows?
I tried opening it for so many years
I have no clue what is inside
Just unable to prise it open
Give it to me I can open it
As if you can do what we couldn't all these years
Give it here
Maaaa?
What?
Give me the box we use to break stuff
Heard that?
Didn't I tell you how useful it is!
Now you know its value
He was trying to walk away with it
Do you know its value?
Watch me now
Hey...!
Haven't I told you not to show your face here?
Anna, it was your mother who called me to-
Ma, you have too much time on your hands
Thanks to this chap, you are trading all our vessels for plastic
You are hell bent on throwing away old stuff
One day you'll be the only old stuff remaining
And he will trade you for a plastic bucket!
Mother, of late your activities are becoming questionable
- Hey! - Huh?
Clear off!
Hey!
Haven't I told you not to spit your gum all over the place?
It sticks to my slippers like glue
Go, wretched fellow!
Get out
Why did you go out without drinking coffee?
- Eat breakfast - What's for lunch?
It's been ages since I tasted your delicious fish curry
Okay...okay
How shameless can you get?
Can shamelessness satisfy hungry stomachs?
Ma, where is that wooden prop-box?
Saravana has it
Hey!
What?
Slide it over
Here you go
Enjoy
Why are you still here?
No, anna
I was hoping I could taste your mother's fish curry
Oh yes! I am here to cook your favorite dishes 24x7
But do I have a daughter-in-law to cook a single meal for me?
Did you hear me?
Loud and clear!
To tick your wish list I have a long line of to-be brides waiting
Look at her, sir
Such a beautiful girl
But how tragic she cannot talk
- Poor soul! - You mean this girl?
Is this girl born dumb?
She opens her mouth you can see doomsday!
She is the granddaughter of that elderly gentleman
She is off to Chennai to study agriculture
Why are all of them into sign language?
They treated one of their family members too harsh
She walked out of the house many years ago
That was on a Friday
Repenting their rude behavior...
...and not let their tongue run in the words they speak hereafter
...every Friday from 6:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m
...they strictly follow this vow of silence
6'o clock
It's 6'o clock now
- Don't talk to strangers, dear - Make sure your phone is charged
- Don't forget to eat well - Call us every day
First get inside and close the door
Bye, Sathya Go inside
Grandpa
(fire alarm announcement)
Mithraaaaaa!
Doctor
Is it true what I heard?
It's a miracle, Mithran
Waking up from coma after 26 years is a miracle
But below the waist, he is completely paralyzed
But what's amazing is...
...his brain function is absolutely normal
Mithran?
But we have a problem
Mithraaaa!
Why are you staring at me?
Who are you!?
Where is Mithran?
It's me, sir
Mithra?
What has happened to you?
I've grown old, sir
What-
Which year is this?
2016
Two thou-
2016...?
Get me a mirror
Not now, sir
You've just regain-
Mithraaaa
Didn't you hear me?
Bring it to me
'May you live long'
Everyone wants to live long and enjoy life
But no one...
...wants to live long when they are old and grey
Look at me
I have aged without having lived, Mithra
I cannot live this kind of life
Those who were scared of me will now be oozing with self pity
I went after a machine to have Time in the palm of my hands
In the blink of an eye
I have lost 26 years of my precious life
I want to get back all that I lost
Mobility, my youth, everything
Doctor
Take him to whichever corner of the world
Spare no expense
But cure him
I've been treating him for 16 years till date
If I could do so, wouldn't I have told you by now?
I don't want excuses
Give me a solution
I want the cure
There's only one way I know
Go back in time 26 years ago
Prevent him from being involved in that accident
In other words, it's impossible
Sir
Don't worry about anything
Mithra
Did you listen carefully to what the doctor said?
He doesn't know it is possible to go back 26 years in time
But you and I know
Where is that watch?
'The house and lab are still in my custody'
- Mithra - Sir?
'Good afternoon'
'The time now is 4:42 p.m'
'I am Dr Sethuraman'
'One among the many prestigious watch manufacturing companies in India'
'...is our Phoenix Watch Company'
'We have manufactured different kinds of watches'
'Now at a very basic level'
'What is a watch?'
'A device that shows the time'
'That is all'
'And as you all know...'
'...time cannot be controlled by mankind'
'But what if we are able to control it?'
'Project'
'24'
'Priya'
'Is this a playground?'
'How many times have I told you not to bring the baby here?'
Mithra
Make this lab the way it used to be!
We can use this manual and create the watch ourselves
Right...let's go
Hear me out
Youngsters nowadays just can't wait to get married
The son I gave birth to shows total disinterest
Boys! Auto is here
Sort all the items and weigh them
On your toes
You were saying something
What more can I say?
How much longer will I talk to myself?
Why?
Don't I need a daughter-in-law at least to fight with at home?
I've spread the word in my circles for a good match for your son
Okay
A lovely daughter-in-law will soon land up at our doorstep
Let me tell you what I feel
Mani's time has come
Everything will work like well oiled clockwork
Every time I talk to you I feel calm and rejuvenated
I'm glad
The right girl for my son
You are in charge
That's it
Don't even worry about it
A wonderful girl will find her way into your home!
Be strong
Mani
Mani, where are you?
Saravana...?
I'm coming...coming
What is this?
Why do you leave the shop unattended?
I was here all this while I went to attend to my customer
Where's Mani?
Only 1/2 an hour ago he said he would be back in 5 minutes
He should be here in another hour
Someone will loot us threadbare
Only then you will learn a lesson
Hey! How long since I asked you to get an electrician to repair that switch?
I'll attend to it
I'm get electrocuted and then it will be too late to regret
What is this unique key?
Wonder which lock it fits!
Nair
Hello, Nair
Your wall clock is ready
I told Saravana to give it to you
He gave me the clock But he forgot the winding key
Typical! Silly fool
Just a minute
It must be here somewhere
Where can it be?
Whose key is-
Mani, my key
Here it is
Sorry, Nair
I made you come back
I gave the money to Saravana
Oh! Look at that!
A watch
No wonder
What will you expect to find in a watch mechanic's shop?
So the mystery of the prop-box has been solved despite the build up!
It never even struck me
Looks quite new
Project
24...?
That's strange!
24-hours dial
'Mani!...?'
Hahn
'Are you back?'
I'm back, ma
'How many days I've been asking you to change that switch?'
'Do you intend to or not?'
Shock-
It isn't a big deal, ma
I'll look into it
My dear mother
I managed to open that bo-
'Hey! Mani'
'I heard a loud crash What happened?'
Nothing, ma
Nothing
Hey! Mani
Where did you disappear?
You said you'll be back in 5 minutes
Your mother yelled at me
Okay, listen
Khader from the tyre shop collected his watch
He paid Rs 150
Nair from the tea shop
I gave him his wall clock
You forgot the winding key...?
That doesn't matter
He paid Rs 250
Then...listen
Remember that ugly green ladies' watch you had?
A soooper glam-doll walked in
I palmed it off onto her
I gave her a 10% discount
- 10 %? - Doesn't matter
Rs 800 for that watch
All this adds up to Rs 1200
For all my effort put into this
I'll just help myself to Rs 100
Hey!
100 bucks
100 is too much for you
I'll tell my mother
Better not step in here
'Hey! Mani'
'I heard a loud crash What happened?'
'Hey!'
'Can you hear me or not?'
'I heard a loud noise'
'Nothing'
'Nothing, ma'
'It took you so long to say this, huh?'
'Where did you disappear?'
'You said you'll be back in 5 minutes'
'Your mother yelled at me'
'Okay, listen'
'Khader from the tyre shop collected his watch'
'He paid Rs 150'
'Nair from the tea shop'
'I gave him his wall clock'
'He paid Rs 250'
'Then...listen'
'Remember that ugly green ladies' watch you had?'
'A soooper glam-doll walked in'
'I palmed it off onto her'
'I gave her a 10% discount'
'Rs 800 for that watch'
'All this adds up to Rs 1200'
'For all my effort put into this'
'I'll just help myself to Rs 100'
See you
Keep your watches clean
'Stay right there I'll be back'
'Hey! Mani'
'I heard a loud crash What happened?'
My respected mother!
Nothing at all, mathaji
'Hey! Mani'
'Where did you disappear?'
'You said you'll be back in 5 minutes'
'Your mother yelled at me'
'Okay, list-'
Shut up
Did Khader from the tyre shop come?
Yes
- Did you give him his watch? - Yes
You took Rs 150?
Yes
Count...count and keep it on my table
Did Nair from the tea shop come?
- Gave him the wall clock? - Yes
Forgot the winding key, right?
Yes
Took 250 from him, eh?
Yes
Keep it on the table
Remember that ugly green ladies' watch in the showcase?
Yes
Did a soooper glam-doll walk in?
Yes
She flashed her close-up smile?
Yes
Did you give her a 10% discount?
Bloody idiot! You sold that watch for Rs 800?
Yes
Keep that 800 on the table
Now claiming you put in so much effort...
...you'll take a kickback from me?
Am I right?
Hogger of the first order!
Help yourself and go
How did you get it picture perfect right?
Off you go, man
Go and attend to your work
Mani
Hey! Just get out I say
I'm leaving right now
'Stay right there I'll be back'
Hello!
Yes?
Watch your step
Sorry, sir Thank you!
'Instead of looking ahead I kept turning back'
I kept turning back-
Instead of looking ahead
Oh gawd!
Damn
What a sudden downpour
All the clothes I washed will be dripping wet now
When you want rain it will be so stubborn!
And when you don't want rain it will have a mind of its own!
All my hard work is down the drain
Sir
Sir...sir
1 minute
Could you tell me the time in your watch?
10:30
'Come at 5'o clock, sharp'
What are you doing? My shirt is getting drenched
Water the plants Not me, imbecile
'Mani'
'I'll just step out for a while, son'
A groom is coming over to see Kamakshi's daughter Sudha
I'll be back in half an hour
Don't leave the shop unattended till then
Alright, take this with you
What is this for?
What if it rains today?
April sun shining bright
How will it rain today?
No April showers, just take it to protect yourself from the sun
I've gone out in the sun so often
Why this sudden spurt of care and concern?
Mathaji!
Catastrophes, apostrophes with bed coffee and atrocities
You are oblivious to!
Listen to your one and only son
Take the umbrella with you
I'm already worried about finding the perfect match for you
You're blabbering more than usual!
Looks like my little faith will also disappear
Why are you like this?
Take it with you
You take care of yourself, son
Bye
Don't leave the umbrella behind

Of course
This is my grandfather's gift to me
It's his favorite, you know
He won't part with it to anyone
I am his granddaughter
When I moved here to study he gave it to me with all his love
Without a wee bit of compassion you broke such a sentimental watch
He gave it to me with so much love
Favorite watch
Now I can't even use it

Your grandpa's watch will be as good as new
I'm a watch mechanic
This is child's play for me
Keep chatting I'll get it done in a jiffy

Blabbermouth!
That HMT watch, model S76 with the broken glass
Aren't you here to ask me to fix the glass?
How do you know my watch broke?

This is your grandfather's favorite watch
Yes, it is
He has never parted with it to anyone
When you moved here to study,...
...he gave it to you with so much love
Am I right?
Yes, but how do you know that?
I'm a watch mechanic, madam
All this is child's play to me As simple as a guppy!
Generally speaking, I have a high general knowledge quotient!
The watch isn't too damaged
Only the glass needs changing
If we could meet at around 2:00 p.m the watch should be ready by then
(phone ringing)
2:00 p.m sharp

What are you blabbering?
'I would appreciate if you gave me exact cash'
What happened to you?
Watch mechanic, ma'am
This is child's play for me!
- Are you okay? - Yeah!
This is just breathing exercise
Your watch
Exact cash
Thanks
1 second
Your watch
This isn't my watch
My watch doesn't show the date
No...no This is your watch
This morning when you were speaking to your grandpa...
...you said you forgot it was his birthday
So I took the liberty of adding the date for you
I thought you would find it useful
Hope you like it
Thanks a ton
It's okay
I'm a watch mechanic
All this is child's play for me
Okay, thanks
Okay
Bye
Oh God!
Why...what happened?
I have a flat tyre
It was fine when I got here
This is a very dirty, polluted area
When I say chlorophyll and haemoglobin in the air is high no one takes me seriously
This looks like someone took a green screwdriver
And purposely ripped your tyre apart
Why are the insurance agents and environmentalists nonfunctional?
But how do you know all this?
Generally-
Didn't I tell you?
'Generally speaking, I have a high general knowledge quotient!'
You don't worry I'll drop you in my bike
No, it's okay
I'll take a 3 wheeler
After all the trouble I took to puncture your tyre!
I meant your tyre is flat And how troublesome!
It happened outside my shop I'll feel better only if I drop you
Why should you go out of your way?
I wouldn't have it any other way!
This is no big deal I can drop you
Yeah?
How do I tell you this?
What's the problem?
I need to attend an important event
That's why I borrowed my friend's scooty
I brought a change of dress with me to change at the hostel
- But it's late now - My mother is at home
We live just upstairs You can change there
Treat my home as yours
- Come in - Thank you so much
Please come
Like your own house
Thanks
'She stepped in with her best foot forward!'
Yes, please come
Ma...?
- Ma...ma - What?
A customer needs to change her dress here
Are you running a garment store?
To change clothes here?
Can't a watch mechanic do even this favor?
- What's wrong with you? - She has a function to attend
One lady helping another I told her you are here
Please come She's here already
This is my mathaji
I mean, my mother
What's your name, child?
Sathya
Really!?
My name is Sathyabama too
We share a name!
Remember I told you it's a sweet name?
Now you know why
Actually, ma, my name is also Sathyabama
The girls at college will tease me
So I shortened it to Sathya
It suits you Come inside, dear
Come in
1

3
My sari is stained
What do I do now?
It was fine when I packed it
Ma, what is this?
Bad enough a girl's tyre is not safe around here
Now even her sari isn't safe
What are these anti-corruption movements doing?
Can I take a look?
Spilt all over
Looks like it is a well planned ploy
Looks like ink has been splashed artistically!
What a wretched fellow with a disgusting mindset
Now what do I do?
Poor child!
Ma, tell her
I'm a watch mechanic, you know
All this is child's play for me
Wait a minute
Ma, come inside
Where to?
Come in, I say
Quick! Give me your sari
How can I give my sari to that girl?
Who asked for your sari?
That pink sari you bought in Saravana Stores for Rs 8000
- You were ironing it this morning - In your dreams!
I bought that sari with so much love for your wife-to-be
- I can't part with that - Ma, don't say 'no'
You don't realize the feelings of the son you carried for 10 months!
She is the one!
Really?
Don't pull a fast one
My God! She's so beautiful!
Did you find out about her family?
Don't frighten her away with your over enthusiasm!
Step by step, we shall proceed slowly
Okay...okay - Give me that sari
I'll get it, you go
You're a darling!
Does it look good?
You look terrible
Why?
Then what?
You know very well you look gorgeous
Then why fish for compliments?
All these beautiful women need a constant endorsement!
You saw yourself in the mirror, right?
I really want to know why even ask?
Just...
...casually!
'Generally speaking, I have a high general knowledge quotient!'
She forgot her 'bindi'
'Flowers?'
What happened?
Exercise
My breathing exercise!
What is happening here?
I told you today is my grandpa's birthday
Back home it will be celebrated as a special day
So I thought I would come here
That's a lovely thought
Thanks
My pleasure
Don't
You look beautiful
'Bindi' and jasmine are perfect accessories
Really...! Let us...go
'Stop blabbering, Mani'
Welcome, please come
- Hello, ma'am - Hello
- This is Mani - Good evening
The food you ordered has been delivered
Siva, chair please
Please sit
Thanks
(Cricket commentary)
Cheer up, children
Come and see the goodies ma'am has brought for you
Come on Get up
Let's all eat
India should have won
At least for these kids India should have won
Just imagine how they would have rejoiced!
The kids would have cheered and danced
Our ear drums would have been flat out!
(cricket commentary)
Hello?
Yes, ma?
What?
I'll be right there
My mother on the phone
Customer I'll be there right now
I'll be there in 5 minutes, ma
Okay...okay, ma
(loud cheering)
Eat well, children
Don't waste anything
Would you like some more?
Dhoni did it
The sixer just flew into the sky I was so scared he would catch it
Hi
I heard we won
As usual, Dhoni hit a sixer off the last ball
The kids must have been so happy and excited
They must have cheered ripping your ear drums off
You should have seen them
But tell me this Where did you disappear?
I had to go-
My mother called to say a customer was waiting
I went to see him
The customer was at Chepauk stadium, huh?
Chepauk...stadium?
I saw you On TV!
You were going home Why were you at the stadium?
You must have mistaken someone else for me
Don't be a bluff master
Same shirt Same trousers
Tell me the truth now
You saw me on TV for sure?
I am 100% sure
Gone case!
What I was hoping won't happen...
...has happened
What are you saying?
This is a disease affecting pretty, young girls
Especially popular among girls in your age group
It's called
Imaginoromansophilia
Imagino-what?
Supposing you-
If you love someone and I don't mean the normal kind
If your love is strong and deep
if you love him truly, madly, deeply
Then whomever you see will be like his clone!
It's called
Imaginoromansophilia
What is this nonsense?
I'm in love with you? And that too, strong love
You're getting angry instead of me losing my temper!
You just said you saw me on TV
Next it'll be a hoarding, And here, there, everywhere
You'll then say I fixed the flowers and 'bindi' on you?
- Look! This is too much - Why?
How will I fall in love with you?
I saw you for 10 minutes in the morning and 1 hour now
- How can I fall in love so soon? - Yeah exactly
I should be saying all this
You're the one who claims you saw me everywhere
It's called Imaginoromansophilia
You've got it really bad
I'll prove it to you
You don't believe me, right?
I'll prove it
Do you see that caterer?
Can you see him?
Look at him You'll think it's me
Please look at the dragon
Hi
Did you see me?
He looked like my clone?
Aiyaiyo!
It has spread
Don't worry I'll be there for you
Let's check one last time for our own confirmation
Okay?
Look at that gardener
Hi
What happened?
I'm a watch mechanic
Breathing exercise!
The gardener didn't resemble me, did he?
He looked ditto you!
Whaaat?
That gardener resembled me?
Don't you think this is too much?
I'm basically a simple watch mechanic
I may help out for the welfare of our nation
But if girls fall flat for such reasons!
I understand
You are different
You love me sincerely Truly, madly, deeply
No, I don't
I don't blame you
It isn't your fault Don't blame yourself
But...
...basically, I am a watch mechanic
I prefer to marry a girl my mother selects
And love her till death do us part!
Whatever you feel, tell my mother directly
But you do love me
...deeply, truly, honest to God
And very sincere
Please don't forget that
It's a kind request
See you
Bye

SONG TO BE FILLED@
'Today is August 15th'
'Not just our city, the entire nation is celebrating Independence Day'
'They have organized various programs'
'Call and tell us exactly what Independence Day means to you'
'Husband endorsed his wife's secret lover!'
Yuck!
And this hits the headlines!
Subramani
Mani, wake up
Get up, Mani
- Don't bug me - Wake up
- Let me sleep some more - Get up
What?
Aren't you my childhood friend?
- Yes, I am - We are inseparable?
All these years as a watch mechanic, have you ever helped me?
- No - Not once, right?
Read this
'Golden opportunity Prize money 5 crores'
They have promised 50 million for this watch
5 crores, imagine!
Pay close attention to what I'm saying
How many heads will I tonsure to earn this kind of amount?
Mani, somehow make a duplicate of this watch
I'm sure we can get at least 50,000 for it
I'll keep just 40,000 and give you 10,000
There's something called 'hard work'!
But please don't say 'no'
- Yes? - Okay
True to your name you're such a gem!
'This has been with me for so many years'
'But only now I realized how unique it is'
'How is Phoenix company aware of its existence?'
'If this company is offering 50 million for this watch...
'...then they are also aware of the time travel power of this watch'
'How are they linked to this rare watch?'
'Then...?'
'How are they connected to me?'
'Who are they?'
Mani, did you underestimate a salon?
It's like a school
You broaden your mind internationally there
We make our clients read newspapers and they share news generously
Do any of your customers read the newspaper?
When I get the 50 million in my hands...
...I will have gold scissors and silver blades in my salon
Don't you worry, Mani
I'll take care of everythi-
Wretched fellows!
When did they start reading the newspaper?
All of them have duplicated the watch to grab the prize money
Mani, my childhood friend
Will your watch pass muster?
Will we get anything at all?
Stand in queue I'll be right back
Goodness gracious!
Yes, sir Your name and address?
Well, my name is Mani

Okay Sit here

Call me when they announce our token number
Managing Director- Mithran
Chairman - Athreya
I can't believe it, sir
So many people-
Mithra
Let's talk inside
What is it, sir?
You wanted to tell me something urgent
Mithra
We have got it!
What we were searching high and low all this while...
...has come in search of us
Token # 144
'Token # 144'
All the watches we've got so far are duplicates
I checked them myself
How can you be sure this one is original?
This is also a duplicate
But the maker of this watch...
...has the original with him
In the paper advertisement...
...we had given only the front picture of the watch
All of them out there who duplicated it...
...have created only the front dial
But
Look at this
He is the only one who has duplicated the original
How else will he know the words 'Project 24' engraved at the back?
Replay the entire footage of the CCTV camera from this morning
Token # 144
I want to see him
Mithra
Play the live feed
I want to see what he's doing now
Mithra
Something fishy
What do you mean, sir?
Look carefully, Mithra
He has no idea what's happening here
Bring him to the conference room
And wait for my instructions
Excuse me, sir
The person you wanted to meet
Hello
You are Mr...?
Sara-
- Mani - Congratulations
You've won the competition
Your watch has been selected
The prize money is all yours
Aiyo!
Sir, what is your name?
Mithran
You aren't Mithran
You are my lucky mascot-man!
Don't go anywhere
Sir, I won't move an inch
I'll be right here
Mani, you are truly a genius
I can't believe we just won 50 million!
Sir
Go to the conference room again
Thrash that duplicate
Ask him where the original is!
Okay, sir
What about the cash, sir? Are they counting it?
Please don't hit me
Tell me, sir
Bring him in front of the camera
Call your accomplice
Call him
Mani
I can't bear the pain
It really hurts, Mani
I can't take it any longer
Where are you?
Mani
Come soon
Aiyo! I can't take-
I can't take this any longer
Call him loudly
Mani...!
For 26 years I was vegetating in the same spot
I was wondering why I came out of that state
You are the answer standing before me
Your father snatched my youth and passed it on to you
Are you wondering who I am?
Go
Heaven's gates are open for you
Go and meet your father there
Ask him
Your mother will also welcome you
Ask her too
When you ask them focus on their eyes
The fear in their eyes will tell you
Who Athreya is!
"Ayushman bhava"
"May you have without strife a long and healthy life"
"May you live long Healthy and strong"
Ayushman Bhava!
Did you see his lifeline?
It stretches a mile long!
Such a tragedy to die so young
- Mithra - Sir?
Remember the hologram?
To charge the watch...
...the wearer of the watch must pass electric current through his body
Even in death he is useful
Mithra
I'll travel 26 years into the past now
History, achievements, glory, challenges met in this world...
...shall surrender under my feet!
Come here
You touch the watch too
I want you too along with the lost memories of all these years
Come
We shall time-travel together
Project
24
Twenty four
Mithra
Sir?
Sir
I can't believe it, sir
I was right next to you
And now I'm in my house!
'Mithra...?'
Sir
That watch
I swear-
'Mithraaa!'
Sir, what happened!?
He defeated us
Sethuraman has won
Why do you think he named it 'Project 24'?
This watch can only take us back in time for 24 hours
26 years
It cannot take us to even yesterday or tomorrow!
What do we do now, sir?
To fix this properly
There is only 1 person in the world
Mani
Sethuraman's son
But we killed him, sir
Only now we test his long lifeline!
Look at the date
Note the time now
We've come back to the same day
Our Independence Day has dawned again!
We haven't killed him as yet
He's at home fast as sleep
2 points to keep in mind
How did he even find out about us?
The advertisement
He came after he saw it
He will come
He must not see it
As of now, he knows nothing about us
That advertisement shouldn't be published in any paper tomorrow
2nd point to note
When he wakes up...
...the watch should be on his wrist
Otherwise he will suspect something is amiss
'Today is August 15th'
'Not just our city, the entire nation is celebrating Independence Day'
'They have organized various programs'
'Husband endrosed his wife's secret lover!'
Which is the freebie?
Either one can make me happy
Watch?
On this hand?
How is it on this hand?
Mithra
Sir
I did what you asked me to
I hope he didn't see you
No, sir
If he saw you...
...then all our efforts will go down the drain
I know
I'm sure he didn't see me
But I saw him
On his wrist was the watch you invented
I looked at it closely
It's working
But the real shocking-surprise is...
...he is a carbon copy of you
Heard that, Priya?
Our son
Resembles me
Like a carbon copy
Let him resemble me in appearance
But I sincerely pray...his life...
...should be nothing like mine
And that is why...
...even though I know he is here
I have kept myself away from him
But a father's heart aches to hug him, Priya
I wanted to check if he was okay, just once
So I had sent Mithran
He is healthy and happy it seems...
...and surrounded by good people
As his parents...
...what more can we ask for?
How, sir?
If I fixed the watch on the wrong hand...
...how did you guess right he would follow me here?
If he is Sethuraman's son...
...I am Sethuraman's elder brother!
This is quite a huge task
Do you think he can do it?
Only he can do it
Not having seen his father or known his father's profession
...he grew up as a bright lad
But now
Look at the profession he has chosen for himself
He is a watch mechanic
Sethuraman's blood runs in his veins
He will definitely do the impossible!
If we simply ask him to tweak the watch
Or threaten him
Will he do it for us?
I shall go
I shall enter his life as his long lost father
I'll tell him about his mother
And make him yearn to see her again
I'll tell him the cruel story of how 'Athreya' destroyed his family
Then he will do it for 'his father'!
You saw how emotional he was seeing his mother's photo
For his biological mother
He will do it for her
He will do it to cure 'his father'
I'll make him do it!
Mithra
Any fool can use the watch while it is on his hand
Without even wearing the watch watch how I get my work done!
I can't believe it
My son has suddenly become enlightened
He has got up as early as 6 in the morning!
Must thank the good spirits!
I don't want to jinx it
Son?
What's wrong?
Mani...?
What happened? Why are your eyes red?
What happened?
Ma-
I'm not dying to know who these people are
I'm asking because it pains me to know I may not be your son
Who are we, ma?
This is your father
As you grew up...
...I realised this looking at your face
He thrust you into my arms and changed my life forever
You asked who we are
Let me rewind to my past
Our family is well respected in our village
My father, brother, sister-in-law
Very close knit family
I was the apple of everyone's eyes
My father believed girls should also be educated
And contribute to our society
So he sent me to a nearby city to study
One day I got a letter from my father
He had found a suitable groom for me
And asked me to come back at once
'This journey would change my life's path forever'
'I didn't know then'
I saw your father, hurt all over, carrying you as a baby in his arms
'He gave you safely into my arms'
'I have promised my wife our son will not be harmed'
'But I am not in a position to uphold my vow'
'You should save my son'
'He said this and he rushed out'
'I never saw him again'
My father came to the station to receive me
Along with my brother, sis-in-law, the groom's family members
And all the kith and kin we ever knew
A real big crowd
When they were all waiting for me...
...I alighted with a baby in my arms
Everyone was shocked including my father
People jumped to conclusions
If a girl is sent out of town to study before she is married...
...this is how she will come back
Their comments were below the belt
When I recall their harsh words even now I feel heavy hearted
Everyone at home fought with me
It was almost like world war 3!
'Will our villagers digest this even if we believe you?' they asked
'Will the groom to-be accept this baby?'
'Will his family agree?' they asked
I told my father
'Father, a promise should never be broken, come what may'
'You brought me up to follow this strictly'
'I gave this baby's father my word I would take care of him forever'
This is what I told my father
These were the last words I spoke to him till date
I carried you to my room
You cried the whole night wanting to be nursed
I couldn't bear your pain and I wept too
Finally I decided
Without becoming a mother I nursed you myself
That is when I realised the value of motherhood
I forgot I was a daughter
I decided to be your mother
I did not want any problem to arise because of my son
So I left the house I was born in
From that day onwards...
...you are the centre of my entire universe
Let me confess now
Like you did to your biological mother...
...you did not kick in my womb
But for 26 years, I have carried you in my heart!
I am your mother
Whatever anyone may say I am your mother
Let them say what they want
I am your real mother
Amma
Don't cry, son
Look at me
Take me to your father
I have to tell him
I promised you I would take care of your son
I must tell him I've kept my word
Take me to him
'Mother...father'
I lost them before knowing the meaning of those words
That isn't a big deal
Because ever since I can remember...
...you have been my mother, father, my everything
But you...
...lived for 20 years with your parents
You were brought up with such love and care
You gave it all up for me
You raised me all by yourself
Who can be more important to me than you, ma?
Forget the people I never really had
But I must reunite you with your family
That is my priority
Mathaji
Your activities have been fishy right from the start
Silly fellow!
Sister-in-law
'Friday'
Father?
Father
How are you, dear?
Mani
Your grandson
Hey!
Come here
In 1 day you took your mother away from us
But to bring her back...
...it took you so long, huh?
Why are you standing there?
Give your grandpa a hug
This is your grandfather
Father broke his vow Why should we wait?
It's 6'o clock
- Sis-in-law? - Sathya
How have you been?
Let us all go inside
You forgot all of us, didn't you?
(Overlap of excited voices)
Who is this, grandpa?
This is your great-grandfather
The school you saw on your way here?
He built that school
Next...?
This is your-
Grandpa
Who is this?
She looks like a square peg in a round hole!
That girl?
Your uncle's daughter
Sathya
- Really? - Sathyabama!
Your mother wasn't with me
So I named my granddaughter after your mother
She is somewhere around
I think she has gone out
She will be back now
Brilliant girl
Nobody can fool her
Soooper smart
Ma...?
Where is everyone?
Didn't even tell me their program
Hi

Why me...?
As it is I'm not well
You're adding fuel to the fire

And now

What?
Love has gone beyond redemption stage
Chee...crap!
- I won't believe this - Why not?

The patient suffering from this disease is able to see the guy she's in love with
Do you know what she will do to him?
Gorge his eyes
Punch his nose
Rip his ear apart Break his hand
I think the imaginophilia has left you for good
- HUH? - Yeah!
We both are in the Romansophilia mode
SONG TO BE FILLED@
In your happy moments of reunion
...as a close knit family
...I told you my story
And upset all of you
No...no
Not at all, sir
You just opened your heart to us
That's all, right?
All of us tremble with fear on hearing your elder brother Athreya's name
We feel so terrible listening to your story
Imagine how you must be feeling haivng experienced it
He tried to kill his twin for materialistic gains
And his twin's wife
Men like Athreya should be tortured to death
He should have lived and been traumatized every second
Died a million deaths-
Raghu
- Raghu - Sorry, pa
Sethuraman
How can we change what has already happened?
All we can hope is a better future
'For 26 years I was vegetating in the same spot'
'I was wondering why I came out of that state'
'My son'
'You are the answer standing before me'
I think I was holding on to my last breath...
...by the blind faith I would see you again
Madam...?
I have no words to thank you
I just wanted to see my son again one last time
That's why I'm here
I have seen him now to my heart's content
I am at peace with myself
Be happy, son
I'll take leave now
I'll leave, sir
- Mithra - Sir
Let's go
Goodbye
What is this, Sethuraman?
You can't leave when you have just come into our lives
My daughter has come back after so many years
My grandson is here!
The pain of being separated from your own child
As a father, I know it only too well
My father is right
Won't your son want to spend a few days with you?
Listen to me, Sethuraman
Don't forget you are also part of this family
Mani
Take your father inside
- Alright - This is your house
Come in, Sethuraman
Forgive us for disturbing you
We didn't expect a tree would fall and destroy the school building
We need to rebuild as soon as possible, sir
What you say is right
I can't deny it
Varadarajan, father and I have been discussing the issue
We don't know how we can get this huge an amount all of a sud-
Please come in, Sethuraman
Small problem with our school We are trying to resolve it
That's all
I heard everything
How much would you need to rebuild the school?
Around 10 to 15
Around 15 million
No worries
Let it be my contribution
Please start the work as soon as possible
Sethuraman We cannot accept it
Why should you?
Why not?
It isn't my money
It is your grandson's money
Please accept it
Alright, as you please
Problem solved
- Happy now? - Thank you, sir
I'm speechless
15 million
Such a boon to our school kids
Thank you so much, uncle
- Sathya - Uncle?
Open that briefcase and give me the check book
I'll give it to grandpa and be right back
Sathya
Give me the check
I think I've got the date wrong
Give it to me
I have to check the amount
Everything is correct Including your signature
Give me that cheque
You are Athreya
Give it to me
You destroyed that family
Give it to me
Mani
Mani, open the door
Father
Father!
Pa...?
Father, you'll be fine
Just 1 minute
Sethu...raman
Hey
Your dad gave me For the school fund
What is it, son?
I just came to see if you wanted to go down
I could take you
What is it, uncle?
Do you need anything?
Mani's room is over there
I came to meet you
What is it?
Mani is in love with you
His actions make it obvious
His life will be beautiful if you share it with him
That's why
I came to ask you how you feel about him
Shall I talk on your behalf to the elders of the house?
Yes, please do
I'm very happy
You sleep now
- Good night, uncle - Good night
Sir
Why are you out alone at this time of night?
You could've called me
Let's go to your room, sir
What a performance, sir
Now way anyone in this house will see through our plan
You fooled everyone completely
If I didn't know better...
...just like all these people I would've also believed you
One can pretend to be sad
But harboring so much sadness in your heart
How are you pretending to be so happy, sir?
To know you may live only for few more weeks
How are you able to take it so easy?
Your son must know, sir
He is your son
A very talented watch mechanic
You only need to say the word!
He'll do it for you
He will do it to meet the mother he never saw
He will finetune the watch to go back 26 years
You won't tell anyone the truth
Neither will you let me do it
And you have decided to leave this place tomorrow
Sorry, sir
I'm saying all this out of helplessness at being unable to help you
Forgive me if I spoke out of turn
Good night, Mithra
Alright, sir
Good night
Within 24 hours this watch can travel anywhere
Why can't it travel beyond 24 hours?
What must I do?
What's missing?
What is it, son?
Father
For you
For your sake
I have finetuned it
It will now suit your need
I have made a small change to your extraordinary invention!
Your watch has a needle that adjusts time within 24 hours only
But it has no date to help it extend through days
I have only added that feature
Using this, you can time travel across days
Time travel across months
Or even across years
For me?
Why, son?
Did I ask?
Whenever I look at this watch...
I remember only how I lost everything
But you have...
...for my sake
Give it to me
Father, like you wanted to now you can go back 26 years
Father
Do you remember the date and time you need to go to?
Father?
Athreya
I am Athreya
You ask if I remember the time and date?!
How could I ever forget?
13th January, 1990
It was 5:00 p.m
That was the day...
...I thought with this watch I can play God
And ended up like a vegetable!
Sethuraman
That was the day he died along with your mother
They were both killed
By ME...!
I'll leave now
Once again
To the same day To the same time
The man who made me end up like this
Your father
Your mother
Not forgetting you
I will kill all 3 of you
I will be the 1st person in this world to kill the same man twice
I am indeed lucky
That's ME
HEY uncle!
I'm a watch mechanic
All this is child's play for me
If you are Sethuraman's elder brother...
...I am Sethuraman's son!
Even if you lied glibly
...I suspected foul play when I saw my father's 6th finger
Didn't it occur to you?
One who fixes the watch
Won't he check before giving it?
That's why
This is the second time
I'm living this day!
Athreya...!
Why do you think I gave you that dummy watch?
Even I know I must go back 26 years
But the date and the time
Only you are privy to that information
Now I will travel to my past
For my mother and father
Not only for them
But for this mother who raised me as well
Mithraaaa!
Mithra
I owe it to you
I...I am...back
Mithra
Tell these men to find a tunnel at the third bend and enter the house
Tell these men to cut the electricity at the house
You come with me
Come
Watch
Sethu
'Where is our baby?'
Sethu
'Where is he?'
'He is in the secret room'
What are you looking for?
I was doing my experiment
The watch is missing
It must be here
Just 2 minutes
I'll feed him and help you search
No
Where?
Sethu
The watch is on the baby's hand
And you're rummaging everywhere
Here you go
I've brought your milk for you
Are you hungry?
Are you hungry, baby?
Here
Look at your father
He fixed the watch on your hand and is searching for it high and low
He's searching under the table
He's searching on top of the table
Right, baby?
You agree?
Why are you staring at me?
I went away only for 5 minutes
In 5 minutes did you miss your mother so much?
You missed me so soon
My pet you are!
Priya
The watch is working
I did it
I did it!
Priya
Congratulations my sweet, sweet darling
Your son is the world's first time traveler!
What are you saying?
He has come back from the future
With memories of 26 years
He has returned as our baby
Hello, little prince
Let me hold you
My moppet!
The watch is on his hand
That means he was the user
Yes, Priya
Look here
This date device was not part of my design
He has added it
But why did he do that?
He has come back from 2016 to this specific day
What is the reason?
What if...he's trying to tell us something?
If what you say is true and he wanted to tell us something
...he would have chosen a date he can talk
Perhaps when he is able to talk, we were not alive?
Take this
Hey! Kalai
Lock the gate
Nobody should go out
Okay, sir I'll take care
Mithra
Stay here
This time he should not get the better of us
Okay, sir
Sethu
Hey!
Dear brother of mine!
My fountainhead
My fruit of knowledge
Where are you?
Once again, I wish you and me a very happy birthday, Sethu
I've come back 26 years just to see you again
I have come by experiencing the power of your invention, Sethu
Hey!
Where are you?
You must have run away and hidden, hearing my voice
Are you trying to charge the watch?
You can't
I have come here after cutting the electricity to this house
Sethu
My brother
My heart is dying to see you!
I'm longing to hug you tight
Kiss you
Take a knife in my hands
And stab you repeatedly
Until you bleed to death
Where are you?
SETHU
Sethu
I got a sudden brainwave
You are my younger brother
My blood
I only want that watch
Give it to me
And I will not harm you or your wife and son
I'll just take it and be on my way
You believe anything I say?
Am I such a nice guy?
Where is your son?
Tell me
Where is he?
Where have you hidden him?
He's worse than I am
Where is he?
Let us go Please
He's inside, right?
Don't hurt us
You must die, Sethu
There should be only 1 watch
And it must be mine!
No!
(baby crying)
Priya
No, please
Come here
Sethu
Priya, come
Mithra
Mithra, where are you?

Priya
Both of you stay here
For a little while
- Sethu! - I will be fine
Trust me
I have to charge the watch 1 minute only
- Look, if I charge it - Don't go, Sethu
I can fix everything It is closeby
- Don't go - I'll be fine
Where will you charge it?
Watchman's cabin will have electricity
Wait here
Athreya sir
Over here
Sir...!
I have him here for you
He's here, sir
Kalai, leaving you alive this time was a good choice!
For the last time
May you live-
Athreya sir?
Hey...!
What is it?
Sethu
Let's not keep this watch!
We have gone through hell
Priya?
Throw it away
Please?
Please, Sethu
Sorry
May we sit here?
By all means Please do
Come
Such a beautiful baby
What's his name?
Manikandan
We call him Mani
Mani darling!
Come here
Hey!
He is coming to me so willingly
What is it, baby?
Do you know me?
Where are you going?
To start a new life
Really?
Just like me!
My father has finalized my wedding
- Is that so? - Congrats!
Thank you
What happened?
Nothing serious
On the way
What work do you do?
I'm basically a-
Scien-
Science teacher?
Yes
My father has just started a school in our village
He's looking out for a good science teacher
Why don't you take up that post?
You said you were starting a new life
Why not start that life in our Gopalasamudram?
Gopalasamudram
Yes
What do you think, son?
Gopalasamudram
Shall we go?
Will you come?
Will you come with me?
He says he'll come
Mani
Mani darling!
Mani dearest
Where are you, son?
Where has he gone?
Where else?
As usual, wherever Sathya is, he'll be playing with her
Let them play for a while, Priya
He keeps calling you 'mathaji' And flatters you all the time
And while you melt he gets away with everything
You pamper him way too much
Now look, Sathyabama
At such a young age...
...you should not get Imaginoromansophilia!
Among girls of your age group, this is a very popular disease
If you look at a Barbie doll you'll see only me!
When you see Tom & Jerry, you will see only me
When you read a Tinkle comic, even there you'll see only me!
I will finish my studies and become a famous watch mechanic
You are loving me without my permission
I don't like it one bit
If you want fall in love with me talk to my mom and mathaji
I will marry the girl both of them choose for me
Because I'm a watch mechanic
Shhhhhhh!
Stop crying!
Stop crying
