Music

Sun rise is seen through a window before our eyes.

Beats of the song starts

We see Arnav rising from his bed. We see it from back right so that we see his back profile as he gets up from the bed. Arnav takes his phone and looks at Kushi’s photo where she is smiling heartily. He had clicked her pic secretly that day on beach. He kisses her photo and then gets up.

We see him brushing, on the pot with eye plugs fixed on his ears and head moving to the song. Then we see him under the shower dancing and singing. Then we see him trying looking at his upper lips for a moustache in the mirror and sighing to himself in disappointment. But soon he shrugs and leaves getting dressed.

En fuse um pochu,

(My fuse has gone out)

Arnav is seen stretching his arms and singing standing in one of the corridors of the hospital. All look at him strangely. He twirls and moves ahead.

en fuse um pochu

(My fuse has gone out)

He continues dancing and singing moving ahead. We see his x-ray image when he is walking, and we see a big heart shape in red colour at his chest beating in sync to the beats of the music. He sent a flying kiss to Lavanya who passes him on the corridor, she stares after him confused

mudiyadhunu solla mudiyaadhu, my baby
mudiyadhunu solla koodaadhu, my baby
mudiyadhunu solla mudiyaadhu, my baby
mudiyadhunu solla koodaadhu, my baby

(You can’t say no, my baby

You shouldn’t say no, my baby – 2)

Kushi is doing her rounds and Arnav is following her behind singing and enjoying himself, he presses his heart and sings dramatically at ‘my baby’. Patients, other nurses and staff stare at him as if he has grown horns but he continues unbothered. kushi ignores him plainly.

En fuse um pochu,

(My fuse has gone out)

Scene changes and close up of Arnav’s face

en fuse um pochu
unna enni thaaney confuse-um aachu
feel panniten

(My fuse has gone out

Because of you I’m confused and sad)

Camera suddenly backtracks and we see he sitting among pregnant ladies, it’s the waiting room in gynaecology side. [The lady sitting on his left is none other than our darling Rani Mukherji and the one on right, Sneha Prasanna, tamil actress and behind him Genelia Dizousa – guest roles of the expecting bollywood actresses guys, lol]. There are many other pregnant ladies as well.

He shares his feelings with them through singing. He has a baby face and singing with full earnestly; the ladies are feeling sorry for the lover boy. Their face expression is that of concern.

M size-il irundha ennudaya heart-u
double x aaga love panniten, mudiyadhunu

(After loving you, my M-size heart has become XXL with love)

He shows through actions, his heart’s size has increased (as in the real song) and the ladies are in awe of his love. He finally points towards Kushi who turns her back to them exasperated seeing his drama.

mudiyadhunu solla mudiyaadhu,my baby
mudiyadhunu solla koodaadhu, my baby

(You can’t say no, my baby

You shouldn’t say no, my baby – 2)

The pregnant ladies dance lightly along with Arnav as if asking Kushi to not say no to him. At the end all of them pat his face and hair to console him seeing Kushi going away irritated with his drama. Rani even kisses his cheek shocking him.

Music

Scene changes, Anjali’s house, all of them have gathered for the weekend. Kushi was searching for something in fridge. When she closed the door of fridge she saw Arnav standing there with a grin on his face. He tries to remove his t-shirt to show his beating heart. But kushi is horror struck and runs from there.

Again scene changes, when Kushi open the door of bathroom she sees Arnav and he shifts his coat and we see an animated image of a beating red heart shape beating and it is filled with the word love running around. Kushi leans her head on the door tiredly.

In the canteen Arnav is sitting with a dreamy expression when Lavanya comes towards him and nudges him asking what the matter is. He shifts his coat and shows his beating heart, lavanya gasps and asks if it is for her, but he immediately corrects. He gestures no and signals towards the door of the canteen and at the same moment kushi passes by it.

Unna nilavunu reela vitten
uzhaga azhaginu poiyaa sonnen
anga inganu thodavaa senjen, love me darling

(Did I lie saying you are the moon?

Did I lie to you saying you are Miss. World?

Did I even touch you, love me darling?)

Scene changes, Kushi is jogging early morning in a park with her ear plugs on when she hears Arnav singing. She turns around abruptly taking the ear plug off. He is in his jogging tracks too and comes beside her from behind and continue singing and demonstrating the lyrics through his actions irritating Kushi to the peak. Hearing him begging her to love him she rolls her eyes.

kavithai kavithainu filimaa poten
avale ivalae nu kadhayaa vitten
uyire kayirenu edhanaa sonnen love me darling

(I did not fake writing poems

I did not build up stories to woe you)

Kushi is in their usual Cafe. As soon as she sits collecting her order, Arnav come and sit in front of her. Kushi sees this and supports her head on her fingers sighing.

He continues singing the lyrics as dialogue as if asking her the same questions in the song.

Raman naanu naanum solla maaten
aanaa unna thaandi sella maaten
mudiyadhunu ...

(I won’t say I’m like Ram

But I won’t go beyond you in my life

Don’t say no)

Scene shifts to ICU. Kushi is checking a patient who is serious, when the patient who is having an oxygen mask points in the opposite direction. Kushi turns and sees Arnav in the middle of the ICU, singing again. Kushi closes her eyes and her body language reveals anger and defeat at the same time. At the end she sees all the patients in the ICU also raising their hands with Arnav as if telling Kushi to not say No. Kushi walks off.

Music

Kushi is entering a church. Arnav sees this and follow her. He sees Kushi praying kneeling down before the altar. He knows Kushi being raised in convent school always had a close relationship with our dear Jesus.

He kneels down beside her and looks at her face fondly. When Kushi opens her eyes feeling a presence beside her Arnav turns his face and starts praying loudly.

Arnav: Oh Lord, is it a fault to love? Don’t we say God is love? Then what crime have I committed?

Kushi’s shoulders slump in utmost irritation but she decides to ignore Arnav and continues praying closing her eyes. Arnav checks her face and continues.

Arnav: I fell in love with a girl. It’s not my mistake if she was born some years ahead of me. If it was vice versa, that is if I had born before her, wouldn’t she have accepted me? Kya hua agar mein late hogaya to come on this planet, my love is true. That’s what matters right.

Kushi finishes her prayer and walks out ignoring Arnav. Arnav continues to pray loud to make her listen.

Arnav: No matter what, I will keep trying till the day she fall in love with me. Aap bas give me a hi-five for it.

We see Jesus’ statue winking at him. He grins and gives a wink back.

Adi unna enna dating-a kooputen
mid range-ula meetinga keten
thanni podura partikka koopten,
love thaan keten

(Did I call you for time pass dating?

Did I try to meet you at inappropriate time?

Did I ask you out to a party with booze?

I just asked for your love)

Scene changes and Kushi is driving her car when suddenly a cab comes beside her car on the other lane. Arnav is sitting in front with the driver and singing the dialogue to her with apt expressions. Kushi ignoring him increases the speed and moves ahead.

Weekendula veetukka koopten
oru madhiri unnayaa paarthen
friendu perula rommaa poten
love thaan ketten

(Did I call you to my home with wrong intentions?

Did I look at you in a creepy way?

Did I book a room for us to get laid?

I just asked for your love)

Kushi is in her apartment and hears her ringtone and picks up the call. As soon as she picks the call she hears Arnav singing on the other side. She looks weirdly at the phone and opens her mouth in surprise which changes to anger and she cuts the call.

Lovea sollu sollu ippathaaneysonnathellaaam seilaam appuram thaaney

mudiyadhunu ...

(Tell me your love right now

Will do everything I promised after that

Don’t say no...)

Hospital corridor Arnav is walking behind Kushi and asking her to love him back. Kushi moves ahead without any care. At the end he is depressed and turns his back towards her.

mudiyadhunu solla mudiyalaye, I luv u
sollaama poga mudiyalaye

(I’m unable to say no,

I love you,

I can’t go without saying this)

Suddenly he hears a female voice saying she cannot say No anymore. He turns in shock (just like in the song) and he seens Kushi smiling and singing.

unnaala heart-um lung surungi poche

luv panna yeno yengidiche
mind voice-a kelu kaadhal sonna naalu
un pera solli thudichiruche

(Because of you my heart and lungs have shrunk with the longing to love

You can ask my mind voice, the day you proposed me

My heart started beating your name)

Kushi comes towards Arnav singing and dancing as in the song. Arnav is on cloud nine. He feels so happy seeing his love finally winning. He hugs her at the end in satisfaction.

                                                                                                                      ************

When he opens his eyes he sees Lavanya in his arms and is shocked. Lavanya starts laughing.

Arnav: Tum?

Lavanya: Haan, you thought it’s Kushi, haina? Oh God, look at your face.

Lavanya continues laughing while Arnav sighs.

Arnav: That’s what I thought how come Kushi got convinced so fast. According to my theory, she will take more time.

Lavanya: Aww poor baby, I felt sorry for you, so thought of giving you a few seconds of happiness.

Arnav (smiling): Thanks Lav. You are the best.

He hugs her friendly who returns it when a voice breaks them apart.

“What’s going on here?”
