sudan...africa... a strange place to me, unknown language...unknown people... having been a fisherman all my life,it's not easy to learn new job. i found a good friend there.
watch full length movies online, his name is swamy. like my chinna! i hated this job but still i did. i separated fish from sea,may be that was a sin,
life too me away from sea. oh no! why do you always talkabout water, sea and fishes? what's so great about your place! pani! people back in my villagetoo work in fields. this is different pani. you can't understand. buddy, the best thing i learntfrom you is smoking cigars. very good.
isn't it great?that's special from my place. my only comfort is talkingto pani once in week. i'm happy all that day. i'll sleep peacefully. slowly i got used to the placeand the people there. all were like me, right? 2 years! somehow went by! i'm going back home.
i'm going to meet my pani. i'll sleep in the lap of mother sea. how are you, pani? how about you? now i feel good! just one more week to go, maria! two years went past somehow. but now a week appears much longer. you said it and i didn't, that's all.
i'm coming pani! back to sea breeze, salt water, and you in my arms. first thing, i want to have is deliciousspicy gravy and rice prepared by you. sure. did you get my last letter? got your 53rd letter...and...got that also! hey, don't send me anymore!
rest in person. is it? yesupadam has announced to every personin the village about our wedding. the only thing left isto stitch your suit. tell yesupadam my size has changedin the last two years. let's get it done when i am back. i hope you are in thesize i can hug, right? what? i am running out of change.
i need to get back to work. shall i go? shall i? listen maria, come back safely! okay, see you. what is he saying?- he thinks this is dubai. hey! this is not dubai!this is africa! we have shed our bloodfor two years. he has just arrived.he will know as days go by.
hey bald man, play some telugu song. hey uncle, play hindi song, what hindi song? you made ravan with shahrukhcompeting with us, it flopped, right?why do you still insist on hindi songs? a heart is sprouting inside iron... it is seeking kiss in love... madrasi in dharavi...i see you in africa...find them everywhere. shut up, you nasty!
you're with us unable to findjob anywhere, why still separate us? sridevi is from south,hema malini is from south, silk smitha is from south.a.r.rahman is from south. so is sachin tendulkar. sorry! tongue slip. maria, isn't our placeforeign city to this place? will you keep shut? keeping shut always hasmade it useless. your life is set,you'll get married soon.
you're feeling so muchfor 2 years seeing a photo. but see, i'm feeling so muchfor 4 girls in on photo. but still unable to trap even one! no use if you have the feeling,it must come from that side too. my name is maria. maria meansthe man who never dies! as my name suggests…i was arrogant and full of pride. instead of salty air,i got dust storm. instead of dry fish,i got tasteless meal.
all my arrogance disappeared. there i was the king...king of the sea. by catching the tiger sharkmaria has brought pride to place. what his late father could not20 years ago he did it now. you are the king of the sea. you've kept your father's pride! youth is swinging... swinging amidst lashing waves... it's a garland of flowers...
it has come seeking you... oh my golden girl... come my, dear... the golden girl gave herbeauty to me... she hid more beauty under her wings... she gives kiss for kiss... when you're with me smilingtime flies away... my cuckoo...my melody...my golden girl... my moon...my jasmine...my golden girl...
my golden girl fills my life... looks like you've stolen everything, maria! leave something for us too! didn't find anyone else to pick up fight? mind your work. he's the only guy refusingto come to my way! in cool eyes... under cool moonlight... one the wings of romance...
heart is having hiccups... kiss me passionately on my cheeks... make a bed of honey and love for me... okay, come abroad. you're the lone man who rocks with thespear fishing technique learnt over years. buddy risks life to catch fish andwe enjoy eating food and drinking! i'm hungry, open the lunch box. take this, buddy. he gives only cooked rice.
this is mixed with love and wish. is maria yearning for it? look, he always tells about you to pani. he's delivering dialogueabout love and wish here. if he likes, he won't leavewithout having it. if maria doesn't like,he'll never go after it. i too know that. like ntr and savithri...like anr and jamuna... she's the perfect match for him like them.
buddy, shall i tell you a thing?- why not two? buddy, i'm serious.- go ahead. what you don’t expect may never happen,but what you expect will surely happen. are you giving counter punch to mine?i'll kick on your pot belly. if you kick on my belly... nothing happened till now andit'll not happen in future too. got it? shut up and mind your work. i promised her to bring himto church tomorrow. if i don't take him, she'll kill me.
if you become a hurdle,she'll poison your food too. if he comes to know about this,he'll kill us. what is that murmur?- nothing, he keeps on blabbering. why did you insist i must come hereas if it is very important? church...god...- to wash off the sins committed by us. the only sin i've committedis meeting you. nothing else. where's das? where is das?
he would've got drunk andplaying cards somewhere. we must reform him! what's this chinna?strange to see you in church. why not ask him directly? you came here to see me, right? did you feel like that? he brought me here. then, why did keep on staring at me? staring at you?
i was watching the girls with you. had you seen other girls,i would've cut you to pieces. you know that, right? why are you hitting him?look at me! what you don’t expect may never happen! what you expect will surely happen! may be he got it! why do you hide your feelings? look dear...
don't play with me aboutinner and outer feelings. before it is dark, go home carefully. go. how long will you escape from me? hey...look at me! i saw it in your eyes now... some day you will be mine! bye. looks like she'll trap you, buddy.
how is it possible?if she thinks so, is it okay? nobody can trap you so easily, buddy. who maria is! why is he looking angrily at me? hi pani! how do you do? long time no see. are you returning from church? i don't feel like talkingto any girl in this village. but i don't know why with you...
i'm going on talking to youbut you're not responding at all. you must talk to me next timeas i talked to you now. brother, if you like any girl,either you take her as concubine, or else devastate, but why are you hesitating about pani? all other women are like losing hair.but pani is my life. i must touch only aftermaking her my wife. that's why i'm patient. i'll tell how to trap him.
if mach remains inside box,can it light fire? it won't light fire. fire is lighted only when stickis rubbed with the box. ,got it now? how much we owe to dosa punnamma's? rs.100. let's clear it today. who is joseph? never seen him here. he's new to this area, buddy.
he took loan and refusing to repay. where did you get money to give loans? i can't believe it. why did you back off?- nothing, buddy. how far still?- near by...next street. i don't know to which streeti must take him now. he's killing me with questions. buddy, next street. just now you said this street.
i'm telling the same thing again, buddy. i'll tell that again, buddy. come. dreaming about me hugging her! if you act like a pimp again,i'll kill you. got it? you talked about match box and stick,he's dumb like a mud doll. i'll puncture your back. buddy!
come here. coming, buddy. the slap i got morningis still hurting me. don't know what he's up to now?- come. why did you call me, buddy? buddy...that is...- tell me, what's it, buddy? nothing... buddy, my button! that is...

i feel shy. buddy...will you do me a favour? tell me, buddy. i want to meet her.- who? tell me. i must see her... that's all?i'll get her right now. buddy, not now. she makes fantastic gravy and rice,
will you ask her to come here with it? look, how he's blushing! sister! it has worked! my son never asked till now,he asked me to get food for him. i don't see him here. he'll come. i'll leave it here. he'll come and have it. he told me to come here, right?
yes. would he come here?- why did she come here? where else would he go? she too has brought food.- buddy! he asked me to come here, right?why hasn't he turned up yet? let him come at anytime,please sit here. how was he today morning? have you started it again? it's 50th time now.
tell me, this is that last time. when he came out,the way he was feeling shy... never seen him like that, trust me. infact i too felt embarrassed,think about it yourself. then? he hung his head feeling shythinking about you. why hasn't he come yet? he'll come...wait. he must come from home, right?
that old woman is there, right?she'll not even sleep. she keeps vigil on him like a ghostfearing some girl may kidnap him. i must gouge out her eyes with ladle. she thinks the food counteris some big star hotel. only i know the pain of peopleeating in her food counter. i'll take you to task. be patient. this will carry on few more days only. as soon as i go to that home,i'll shut down the food counter immediately.
do that first, at least for thisi'll unite you with him. keep watching the scene, the old woman mustcome wagging like dog for food after me. i'll hit you with slippers.how dare you talk like that! bloody girl! my son knows about you,that's why he told me to bring food for him. come...come...- stop...stop... stop, you girl. stop...stop... how dare you try to trap my son!
if you look at my son,i'll gouge out your eyes! get lost! buddy..it seems he'll cheat meinto going to church, and take me around the streetsfor collecting a never given loan, and imagine pani as his sisterlike in the film 'raktha sambandham'. hey buffalo! you won't anythingsilly like this again, right? nephew! can i ask you a question? why not ask 5 or 6? i'm serious, why are you doing comedy?
don't get angry. come on, ask me. that girl is yearning to beyours since childhood. why are you rejecting her? you've grown old but not wise. ever since my father went to seawith yesupadam and died, seal has been accusing them of it, 6how can she accept this girl? even if i go against her and marry her,can she live happily there?
let's allow them be happy like that. sea is there for all my life. if you want to share drinkshappily, do join me. if you want to talk about this,then go to bed silently. i'm scared you may hit me! will you hit me? go to sleep. special news bulletin about weather… fishermen are advised not to ventureinto sea for 48 hours...

he loves you, that's why he had a fightwith dark man for touching your slippers. do you know that? what did you say? go, ask him. i saw you, right? you love pani. some day you will be mine. why so late? i had to prepare food.
