Flush green paddy fields on either side of mud road in a

quite and picturesque village near Vizag.
Rambabu aged 28 cycling to his job. He works as an
accountant in a small Govt. school in Pedipallam village
located near Vishakhapatnam. Rambabu suddenly realizes
there are two women carrying pot water on their head
walking ahead of him and they are literally blocking his
path. His cycle doesnt have a bell to caution so he
shouts at them to give way for his cycle. To his shock he
is not able to apply breaks to the cycle as the break
brushes were completely torn off! He literally bangs on
them and they spill water on him! Rambabu was quite
embarrassed!
Rambabu completely drenched with water because of the
freaky cycle accident.
A creaky fan goes about its business; Rambabu sits below
it surrounded by account books, as he punches numbers
into his calculator and occasionally making entries in
the journal. The financial year-end is close and Rambabu
is under pressure to complete the accounts for the fiscal
year. The Headmaster of the school rushes in with the
peon and shocked to see Rambabu with wet dress.
th

The 5 standard history teacher is down with food

poisoning and in 15 minutes the school inspector will be
arriving for his annual check-ups. They need a substitute
teacher desperately and the peon suggested Rambabus name
to the principal. Rambabu is shocked, as he has never was
a teacher before; the Headmaster pleads to just pretend
for a few hours and to maintain silence in the class
while the inspector goes about his rounds. Rambabu is not
sure, while both the peon and Headmaster convince him
that he that can do it. Rambabu begins to fret while the
Headmaster gets a call on his cell phone saying the
Inspector has arrived.
Cut to:
Rambabu walking into class 5B. The kids are noisily
chatting amongst themselves and they suddenly stop and
gape at Rambabu. He informs them that he is the temporary
substitute teacher; they need to maintain silence, and
announces that their History teacher is down with upset
stomach. The kids collectively howl and continue to chat,
ignoring him. He is shocked that none of the kids are
taking him seriously; he announces again that he is the
substitute teacher and they need to maintain silence in
the class. One of the kids informs the class that he is


not a teacher but the school accountant. The kids start
laughing and challenge Rambabu to ask questions from
History and Geography text. A kid then asks him what is
the capital of Gujarat? Following that, a series of
questions are fired at him and laughter erupts from the
entire classroom! He begins to look for the kid who asked
the first question when chalks are hurled at him. He
turns his attention to the other side when more chalks
are hurled at him from the other side. A chalk war
begins, Rambabu gets furious and begins to chase kids
around in the classroom. He manages to spot two kids,
grabs them by the collar and brings them forward when the
entire class suddenly goes silent. Holding both the kids
by their collars, Rambabu turns around to see the
Headmaster and the collector fuming!
Cut to: Headmasters office, Rambabu protests but he is
fired,
the
collector
has
threatened
to
fire
the
Headmaster of the school if Rambabu is seen anyway near
the premises.
A dejected Rambabu stands outside the school gate, hurt
and upset. He sees the same bunch of kids snickering at
him. Rambabu takes a vow staring at the skies that he
never wants to be around kids all his life. A round of
chalks land on him as soon as he completes his vow. The
kids scanter away. Rambabus white shirt is now colorful
with chalk stains.
Rambabu stands outside his house door contemplating and
was about to press the bell when his mother opens the
door. She immediately senses something wrong with her
son. Rambabu soberly explains that he hates working in
the school and that his mother was right about him going
to a city to settle. His mother gazes at the pictures of
the Gods, indicating they must show a way ahead for
Rambabu.
Rambabu had spoken to his best friend who promised him a
position in a matrimonial matching company in Hyderabad.
But Rambabu is slightly reluctant to leave his mother who
is already being burdened to support him by doing small
domestic work! Besides he needs money to move out to the
city. His mother has her last gold bangles, which will
get him through. Rambabu is unsure.
Rambabu sits in the local teashop contemplating with few
of his friends and playing caroms. Rambabu announces
proudly that he maybe going to Hyderabad, when one of his
friends teases him that the village patriot has finally
fallen to modern life and money. Rambabu used to boast
about how he would never leave his hometown but now he is
embarrassed.


As he heads home, he is not convinced at the prospects of
going
leaving
his
mother
and
home
town;
equally
embarrassed about the school incident.
Next day, Rambabu visits a travel agent inside a seedy
office handing cash to him who books a train ticket to
Hyderabad.
Montage Begins. Rambabu touching his mothers feet while
she does a small pooja in front of the Gods. Outside his
house, all his friends and family have gathered to send
him away. Rambabu touches the feet of all elders. He
makes sure that he stays away from the kids!
Rambabu is dropped off at the Railway station with the
same large group who was with him earlier. Rambabu has a
concerned look, as he doesnt want to loose his luggage
amidst the crowd. One of the Villagers cautioned him
never leave your bags unattended even for a second in the
train. So he is definitely cautious.
The train leaves the station and Rambabu is lost in a
trance gazing at the passing scenery and dozes off. He
gets into a dream as he appears as an emperor and ready
to go for a war etc. Suddenly he wakes up with a jolt,
sees a girl Samanta sitting across reading a book titled
Financial Law. Rambabu knows what school accounting is
but doesnt understand financial law! More than the book
he is smitten by Samantas beauty and tries to get a
glimpse of her whenever he can. Samanta spots Rambabu
gaping at her, returns a frustrated look and immediately
covers her sleeveless arms using the shawl. Rambabu
though nervous is thrilled that the first step of his
journey to modern life had introduced him to an angel
like Samanta! He suddenly notices there is a fat kid on
the other side smiling sarcastically. Rambabu tries to
ignore him, as he cant keep his gaze away from Samantha.
As soon the train reaches Hyderabad Jn, Ram Babu rushes
towards the exit door even before the train has stopped.
The porters rush to get inside the train making him stuck
at the doorway! Somehow Rambabu manages to get down from
the train and makes a quick exit, as he is more worried
about the large amount of passengers further delaying his
exit. To his surprise the Railway police stops him at the
platform, as they want to check his bag. Rambabu is
nervously wondering why they want to check his bag, as it
is his bag, but when he reaches for the zipper realises
that there is no lock. He complains that someone had
stolen his lock and begins to open the bag and pulls out
womens undergarments. Rambabu gets embarrassed and
immediately stuffs it back. The security questions him
and while he tries to wiggle out Samanta arrives with a


security guard complaining that she lost her bag and is
now shocked to see Rambabu holding her bag and thinks
that he was trying to steal. Rambabu begins to protest
when Samanta accuses of him being a pervert constantly
staring at her through out the journey. Some other
passengers ascertain the same while the fat kid mentions
that Rambabu is crazy and was running towards the door
before the train reached the station.
The security takes him in for questioning. The police
realize by mistake he took Samantas bag while he was
rushing towards the door to get off from the train.
Though Samanta doesnt buy the theory she decides not to
lodge a case against him. The security personnel
eventually let him go with a warning.
Relieved Rambabu takes an auto rickshaw straight to his
friends mansion. As soon as he arrives there he sees his
friend waiting impatiently to leave for office. Rambabu
is so happy to see his friend whereas his friend doesnt
like his presence as much! He tells Rambabu that he
should manage on his own after he introduces him to his
friend who works at the matrimonial company.
Rambabu in the same starched shirt from earlier is lead
into the matrimonial office. Arjun, the owner of the
company reads out Rambabus resume and is interested in
recruiting him. He is engrossed in a long meeting before
he glances at Rambabu, and right away asks him about
Pedipallam, Rambabus hometown. Apparently Arjun lived in
Pedipallam while he was a kid. Arjun then asks questions
about the town and how much it has changed over the last
30 years. Rambabu appears honest in his answers and
finally Arjun offers him the job.
Rambabu realises he is getting twice the salary that he
received at the school! Excitedly he calls his mother,
pretending that he has been hired by a big company and
boasts about the starting salary. His mother mentions
about a distant relative willing to pay a huge dowry for
his daughter to get married to Rambabu. Rambabu is at
loss of words but assures his mom that within a year or
two he will agree for the marriage.
Next day when he reports to work, he is shocked to see
Samanta in one of those office cabins who is equally
surprised to see him. Samanta is upset at Arjun for
hiring Rambabu who is supposedly a pervert and a thief.
She mentions the train incident to him. Arjun defends his
decision to retain Rambabu in the company saying he
should be given another chance.


At the same time, Rambabus office peon Bhramanand points
to him the fact that something is brewing between Samanta
and Arjun and in no time Rambabu might be fired if
Rambabu doesnt take Samanta into confidence or impress
her. Bhrama goes around gossiping about Samanta and Arjun
at any given opportunity to Rambabu.

Rambabu is thrilled on one side knowing that Arjun likes

him but at the same time he is little scared knowing that
Samanta could be the first villain in his life as she may
influence Arjun to fire him especially after that
incident at the railway station. Bhrama also agrees!
Rambabu and Bhrama decided to join hands to see an
opportunity to get rid of Samanta from her job.
Rambabu begins to pamper Arjun for petty things as per
Brahmas advice, right from serving tea to Arjuns
management decisions. Arjun wonders what happened to
Rambabu for his overdoing.
One day Rambabu scans the entire accounts books and meets
with Arjun. He shows how Arjuns financial planning has
been wrong and how he could save lakhs of rupees if he
follows Rambabus advice. Arjun is super impressed.
Arjun begins to probe quietly about Rambabus background
and his family.
Arjun celebrates his companys annual day. He throws a
party of cocktail and dinner at a pub! Rambabu neither
drinks nor smokes but first time he has been forced to
drink! During the party he has been dragged to give a
dance performance too! Rambabu is totally knocked of
because of the liquor and shows his hatred by cracking
few jokes on Samanta. Samanta is furious and she walks
away from the party! Rambabus colleagues laugh and
suddenly Rambabu realises his mistake and confess to his
colleagues that he likes her! But no one takes him
seriously and laughs loudly as if that was the biggest
joke of the century! One man who hears this was Arjun and
his face changes!
Rambabu was embarrassed for the previous night party
incident and he feels sorry. He is desperately waiting
for Samanta to step in so that he could ask for apology
but she never turns up! Rambabu was more embarrassed when
Arjun asks Rambabus opinion on Samanta! Rambabu says
that she is a nice girl but with too much of attitude
like any other city girl. Rambabu defends that she seems
to have misunderstood Rambabu due to the railway station
incident. Also, Rambabu apologizes to Arjun for the
previous night incident as Rambabu still thinks there is
a smoke about the relationship between Arjun and Samanta!

Arjun comes up with a plan. He wants Rambabu to scan all

the account books and re-tally all the records for the
company. For that he is willing to send Rambabu to his
farmhouse, with the account books. Rambabu immediately
takes up the offer, assuring him he will rework their
entire accounts in two weeks time. Rambabu requests Arjun
that he would like to take Bhrama also with him. Bhrama
didnt expect this but agrees to go along with Rambabu,
as this could be an opportunity to be away from Samanta
who insults him always!
Rambabu and Bhrama reaches farm house by car with bunch
of account books. Bhrama has never been to Arjuns
farmhouse before and quite thrilled to be there. As they
arrive they spot an elderly gardener working and Bhrama
rudely tells him to collect the account books and drop it
into the work area. At the first sight of the house,
Rambabus jaw dropped! Its not just a farmhouse but also
a huge palace! Rambabu for a minute gets into his
favorite imagination that he is the emperor of this
palace!
Rambabu also wants to know where his room is located. The
old
gardener
without
saying
much
obeys
Rambabus
instructions. Its late in the night. Rambabu is tired,
and goes to sleep. Gets into the same dream of war
sequence with million of horses galloping in the war
field and he leads them!
In the morning when Rambabu wakes up, goes to the
bathroom and ends up scaring himself seeing an odd face
in the mirror. He then realises someone has used
toothpaste to draw a moustache and beard. He has a tough
time cleaning it; he walks down fuming at the gardener
who claims innocence. Then he goes to check Bhrama and to
his shock Bhrama mentions he saw a ghost in the form of
two small boys! The gardener appears to have a slight air
of mischief about him. Though Rambabu neglects what
Bhrama said, still somewhere in his mind the word
Ghosts haunt him. Now he suspects what he saw in the
bathroom could be the ghosts work! Slowly the fever
grips on Rambabu and Bhrama!
Rambabu
soon as
someone
cool on
working

asks for tea, which is served on the table. As

he gulps the tea, he spits it out, he realises
has added salt to the tea. He again loses his
the gardener, who claims innocence that he was
in the garden and not aware of salt!

Rambabu retires with this account books! All of a sudden

shower of chalks land on him from the window. Old
memories are triggered; he immediately fumes and goes


looking out of the window when a bucket of water lands on
him, drenching him followed by some giggles.
Rambabu fears the ghosts have returned to haunt! Rambabu
rushes towards the door, where he sees a 5-year-old boy
standing and starring at him! Rambabu was shocked to see
a boy! As he is trying to reach the boy he runs away.
Rambabu gets distracted with a sound behind and turns
back and shocked to see the same boy in a different
costume! Now he believes that is a ghost, which Bhrama
had mentioned! Rambabu runs away to the door and tries to
get away from the house but slips on the floor as he
realises that someone has added engine oil on the floor.
With great difficulty he manages to gain his balance, his
face and clothes are stained with the oil. Rambabu
furiously calls out to the gardener. When there is no
reply, he rushes outside to look for him; the door behind
him slams shut. Rambabu realises that he is locked in the
room. He rushes towards the backdoor, realises that its
also locked. Rambabu is perplexed at the turn of events.
He sees some curtains move on the upper floor, realises
that the fan is running in one of the bedrooms. He
clutches on to a running pipe and begins climbing to the
first floor. He reaches for the window, pulls the curtain
away and shouts, Caught you gardener. Enough of your
jokes. To his horror he catches Samanta in a bath towel
who screams seeing a man stained with black oil all over
the face, she screams for help as she thinks Rambabu is
an intruder. She takes a large vase and hurls it at
Rambabu, who looses his balance from the pipe and falls
down on the lower floor, blacks out.
When Rambabus eyes open he spots two identical boy twins
around 6, one 6 year old girl, one 7 year old girl, a 5
year old boy and a 14 year old, followed by Bhrama,
Samanta and gardener staring at him. Rambabu is horrified
seeing the children! His head goes for a spin and blacks
out again!
INTERVAL
Rambabu has survived the fall; Samanta rings up Arjun,
requesting Rambabu to be sent out of the guesthouse right
away. Arjun takes a strong stance saying Samanta needs to
cooperate and its just a matter of two weeks before
Rambabu leaves. She hangs up the phone and tells the kids
no more pranks since it almost killed Rambabu.
The kids are quite amused at the fact as they have
Rambabu for the next two weeks. Rambabu gets up to ask
whose kids are these, Samanta snaps at him saying it is


not of his business and walks away into her room. The
gardener tells him that the kids belong to his boss
Arjun! Rambabu never thought Arjun would have so many
kids. The 14 year old comes forward to shake Rambabus
hands and tells him if Rambabu wants to impress his boss,
these kids need to be impressed first. The kids want
Rambabu and Bhrama to make peace with them or leave the
place. Rambabu and Bhrama are cornered. Rambabu tries
calling Arjun, but the calls are unanswered.
Rambabu notices the children are very close to the
gardener. During lunch that day, Rambabu is introduced to
the kids by the fourteen year old who introduces himself
as Navin.
The 3-year-old Vikram is cutest and youngest of the lot!
His favorites are Michael Jackson, Flo Rida, Hulk Hogan
etc. Rambabu has no clue of those names.
The 5-year-old boy Rakesh (a twin brother to Shailesh) is
a pet/animal lover. He collects all sorts of insects and
animals and feeds them. He has a Labrador puppy that he
is very fond off. The puppy is fond of Rambabus dhoti,
making it a nightmare for him to pray every morning.
The twin brother of Rakesh is Shailesh is a gadget freak,
from iPod, iPad, game consoles to computer games. He is
always immersed in his games. Rambabu is a video game
character for him; he is constantly finding new gags to
get at Rambabu.
The 7-year-old girl, Sonal is a voracious reader with a
good general knowledge and very sharp Math skills. All
her talks are scientific in nature, even refers to water
as H2O. Most of her conversation is beyond Rambabus
brain. She questions the role of God in science. Rambabu
tries to avoid her at any slightest chance.
The 8-year-old Ananya is more beauty conscious! Her bag
is filled with cosmetics and she spends hours in front of
mirror! She is also a fitness freak! She cant spend even
a day without swimming or being in the gym!
The 11-year-old Prabhat is a computer genius! Can anyone
believe his hacking ability? He once hacks Rambabus bank
account and makes him to plead not to do it again and
make sure Rambabu gives lot more respect! Rambabu is
always scared of Prabhat and keeps checking is account
every one hour to make sure his bank account is safe!

Navin is the eldest of the lot, slightly more mature and

stays to himself; he is rarely interested in any
conversation with anybody in the house. He seems to have


more interests in mechanical things and wants to design a
car. Navin always roams around with spanners and
screwdrivers. Rambabu and Bhrama see him always fiddling
with a vintage car parked outside! (By the way Rambabu
was once shocked to see his watch was ripped apart and
reassembled again!)
It appears as if Navin is holding a lot within him. All
the kids love him, and obey him like an Army General! He
is the only one who can control the kids.
Rambabu avoids the kids and tries to apologise to
Samanta, the kids soon sense that Rambabu likes Samanta
but she hates him. She plays with the kids, keeping out
Rambabu and Bhrama from the activities. Rambabu chooses
to stay with his account books, Bhrama conitues his
gossips in Rambabus ears. Now Rambabu slowly gets
irritated with Brahmas gossips and he starts developing
an affinity towards Samanta.
Bhrama is caught between Rambabu, Samanta, the gardener
and the kids! Bhrama often feels he should run away from
the farmhouse, as he is not able to tolerate any more
which leads to many comical instances.
The kids have mixed up the labels on the account books;
some of the books are even missing. Rambabus fingers are
stuck to the calculator thanks to the super glue. That
night Rambabu is woken up by an alarm clock ringing in
his room. He searches the whole room while the alarm dies
out. It continues every hour making it impossible for
Rambabu to sleep.
Over the next week, Rambabu and Bhrama seldom get sleep,
the kids constantly planting one gag after another,
Samanta at every opportunity avoids Rambabu and insults
Bhrama, and Rambabus efforts to reach Arjun is almost
impossible. Rambabu brags to the gardener, as how much
Arjun likes him. The gardener hints that if Rambabu wants
promotion he should equally impress Samanta.
Rambabu
tries
to
probe
the
gardener
about
the
relationship between Samanta and Arjun based on what
Bhrama has fed him and wonders how Arjun has so many kids
for his age. The gardener keeps mum and somehow avoids
the questions. Rambabu wonders what kind of family values
are being imparted here.
Rakesh comes up with a master prank to trap Rambabu.
Navin is against the prank; he has begun to like Rambabu.
The other kids hate him in the house and wonder why their
father has kept him there. He is also very mean to the
so-called gardener so they want to teach Rambabu a

10


lesson. The kids still go ahead with the prank even after
Navins instruction. Rakeshs master prank is to unleash
some insects from his collection; he has trapped a baby
snake without anyones knowledge. Navin tries to warn
Rambabu, but its too late. Rakesh realises the snake has
its own mind and escapes into Samantas room. Within
moments there is a loud shriek as Samanta rushes outside
trips near the staircase and falls with a thud. She
blacks out. The gardener and the kids begin to panic.
Rambabu rushes in to pick her up.
Samanta wakes up to the kids and the gardener. Rakesh is
crying, as he is sorry about the entire episode. Samanta
is initially angry but cools down on seeing Rakesh cry.
The doctor has put a cast on Samantas leg and she is
confined to the bed. The gardener reveals to her that it
was Rambabu who carried her to the hospital. After
admitting her to the hospital he stayed away knowing that
she hates to see him around. Samanta wants to thank
Rambabu; regrets how she has treated him. In the
following days, Rambabu usually stays away from Samanta,
the kids also sensing their feelings towards each other.
The pranks have died down; the usually energetic place
has a sense of gloom.
Rambabu meanwhile calls his mother in Hyderabad; he is
surprised to know that someone by the name of Ajith from
Hyderabad
visited
his
mother
claiming
to
be
his
colleague. He handed over lots of gift to her; she was
told it was from her son. Rambabu is clueless who this
strange guy Ajith is visiting his mother.
Rambabu comes home to find the twin boys throwing a fit
crying and howling, while the other kids try to pacify
them. Samanta cant take them to their weekly mall trip
for ice cream. The mall is 20 kms away from the
farmhouse. The gardener offers, but they want only
Samanta to take them. Rambabu gets a sense of the
situation. He looks at Navin and casually asks him if he
wants to go to the mall with him. The twins go silent on
hearing it, they immediately want to go with Rambabu, and
the gardener is thrilled at the turn of events.
On the ride to the city, Prabhat opens up to Rambabu to
tell him that he is working with his father on a profile
matching software for the company. In the beginning when
the software was being tested, Arjun had tried two
profiles, that of Samanta and Rambabu. The software
reflected only 3% match. Rambabu laughs by hearing it.
Prabhat after a moment of silence mentions that he has
been working on the software for the last few days and it
now shows an 80% match. He cant wait to show it to his
dad. Rambabu jests about the situation that Samanta has

11


not spoken to him since her accident so the software is
categorically wrong. Rambabu tells him to stop using him
as a test.
In the mall a large statue of a cartoon figure greets
them, almost as tall as the four floors of the mall, the
kids are taken on various rides and to the ice cream
parlor. During one of the rides, there is a mad rush to
get in, Bhrama looses track of the twins. Rambabu
realises the twins have drifted into the crowd. They
begin calling out their names in the crowd. They begin to
panic and instruct the mall security to help them find
them. The security scurries in all directions, finally in
the security camera cabin, a man points to one of the
camera feeds. Rambabu and Brahmas jaw drops in shock.
The kids are being taken by bunch of local gangsters. The
way the kids are taken no one could mistake they are
being kidnapped! The security raises the alarm and the
gangsters use the chaos to their advantage and rushing
towards to exit with the kids! Rambabu runs out of the
security room and jumps out of the balcony of the third
floor by holding a long advertisement cloth, which runs
down the ground floor. Now the five gangsters pulls out
their knives and chains and threatens they would kill the
kids if anyone closes on them! Rambabu uses his village
martial arts and fights with them to retrieve the kids
and hurts himself badly but not before bashing out those
five thugs! The police arrives and then declare this gang
of five are wanted in many kidnap cases for ransom before
and they were at large for a long time and praises
Rambabu for his bravery! Rambabu is bleeding and the kids
hug him emotionally and Rambabu also hugs them with a
relief!
On the way back home Rambabu is absolutely furious and
shouts at Bhrama for losing track of kids. The kids are
still at Rambabus arms and are hugged! They love it!
Rakesh murmurs he misses his dad often and he feels very
warm with Rambabu! Rambabu wonders why Arjun never visits
them often and Navin gives a deserted look instead of an
answer!
Reaching home, Rambabu is for a surprise as Arjun has
decided to pay them a surprise visit. Arjun and Samanta
are shocked to see Rambabus bruises and Navin and Bhrama
explain them the Mall incident! Samanta tries to comfort
Rambabu.
Arjun looks different. He looks sick, the kids run to hug
Arjun and they break into tears. Rambabu argues with
Arjun for being away and the kids are missing their dad
so much! Arjun is trying to defend by quoting that

12


Samanta is taking care of the kids! Rambabu is slightly
frustrated with this answer, which makes him to think
that the relationship between Arjun and Samantha is
becoming true to his imagination! He screams at Arjun and
Samantha that why are they hiding their relationship
within four walls as the entire world knows whats
cooking up between them! Also he blames Arjun having so
many children still he wants to fall in love with his
staff, Samantha!
Rambabu decides that he cant stay any more and also
wants to get back to his native and be with his mother!
Arjuns face is crest fallen and there is absolute
silence in the room. Arjun tells Rambabu, that he can
leave the guesthouse the next morning. Rambabu realises
his folly, as he did not mean any of it and the words
came out of his pent up frustration.
Rambabu is packing in the room when Samanta comes in. She
wants to apologise for the behavior she meted out to him
and also thank him for taking to the hospital. Rambabu
doesnt reply much. She tells him that she has begun to
like him and would to like to know him more. Rambabu is
surprised; Bhrama tells Rambabu that its some other
prank she has cooked up with the kids. Rambabu wants to
be left alone.
Arjun sits tense in his room, the gardener comes forward
to comfort him, saying things can go wrong with the kids
as they are innocent and so is Arjun about bringing up
the kids. It is not Arjuns fault either as there is
still some time before treatment is complete.
Arjun is in tears; he does not want the kids to go back.
The gardener consoles him. Arjun says he made a mistake
and assumed Rambabu would fall for his plan, after all he
only meant well for Rambabu. There is a knock in the
door; Arjun wipes away his tears while Rambabu walks in.
He is here to announce he is quitting the company and
returning to the village. He thinks he was used like a
scapegoat and doesnt want to continue. Rambabu tells
Arjun what Prabhat told him about the software. He knows
Arjun wants to put a show in the office saying Rambabu
and Samanta are married, while Arjun can carry on his
affair. He wonders whatever happened to Arjuns wife and
why she is not bothered about the kids. Rambabu doesnt
care he just wants to leave. Arjun says there is nothing
between Samanta and him; its a misunderstanding if he
believes there is an affair between them. Rambabu wonders
what Arjuns real agenda is.

13


With a heavy heart Arjun opens up to Rambabu saying that
after his parents died when he was young. Arjun fell in
love with Seema. They were inseparable, and Seema always
wanted a dozen kids around her. Their first kids were the
twins, in fact they are the only kids biologically
related to Arjun. Seema died due to complications while
delivering the kids. To fulfill his wifes wishes, he
adopted 5 more kids and gives them a meaningful life
rather than being in an orphanage.
In the last year Arjun has been diagnosed with a brain
tumor, with slim chances of survival. He has being
undergoing treatment. The kids dont know this and to
appear not sick, he keeps away from them. Arjun has just
another month to live and doesnt want the kids to know
that he is dying. Seeing Rambabu and watching his
character and knowing his background, Arjun is convinced
that he had found someone like him who would love the
kids, take care of the company. He adds that Samanta is
Arjuns wifes cousin sister. Samanta with her law
background was helping Arjun transfer properties into the
kids name. Arjun knew that Samanta would take care of the
kids.
Arjun was getting desperate, now realises he was wrong
and selfish. Rambabu is free to go, but he must not
reveal anything to the kids.
Rambabu is moved by Arjuns story, but is too overwhelmed
to speak. Arjun is in tears, as Rambabu sits in his room
and contemplates his future plans. Montages of each one
in their room in silence. There is a pall of gloom over
the farmhouse. Rambabu keeps staring at his packed bag.
In the morning Arjun comes to Rambabus room to inform
that he has arranged a car for Rambabu to be dropped off
in the city. He is also depositing 2 lakh rupees for his
services in the company. He is still confused about the
decision. Arjun gives him a friendly handshake saying it
was nice to know him. As Rambabu steps outside, a taxi
comes in to the driveway.
Rambabus mother steps out of the car and is thrilled to
see her son. Rambabu is shocked, his mother informs him
she knows everything and he need not be dramatic about
his job in Hyderabad anymore. She knows Rambabu was doing
it for her. When Arjun steps out of the house, Rambabus
mother greets him as Ajith the same colleague who had
