Happy birthday

Someone's wet the bed!-Who?

Must be Akhil!

-lt wasn't me! Appa!

Was it your Appa then?

-Yes, it was him!

Amma, l have to go at once!

Then go!

You fool, l told you

l wanted to go!

The telephone! Here, catch!

Quick, wipe yourself before you come out

No, he won't go out of town to attend

functions. Why?

Because his wife is ill.

She's mentally ill

He won't go

First thing in the morning.

l'm your daughter, after all.

Did l ask you to come?

lf you don't believe in yourselves,

how will others believe in you?

Next time you say you're depending

on me, l'll beat you up!

50 rupees for your birthday.

Don't tell your parents.

Buy whatever you want

Anything l want?-Yes

lt's her ninth birthday.

We'd decided we'd tell her

the truth today?

This evening

You'll have to - l don't have

the courage

Did you bribe God?

A hefty bribe! To move my Tamil Teacher

to another section

You take her. l'm not coming

Come on

l'll tell you a true story

Don't ask me for endings

for your stories

This is no story. lt's to do with you, Amudha

l know. l'm 9 now. lf l behave

irresponsibly...

...Talk back to my teachers,

Call ma names in my heart....

...Hide my math marks.

You're not our daughter

lf l behave badly, you'll send me

to the hostel

Amudha, listen you're not

our daughter

lf l behave badly, l'm not

You weren't born to lndra and me

You weren't born to us

We adopted you when you were a baby

Come here

We love you more than our own lives

Akhil, Vinay?

They were born to us

What's wrong with Amudha?

ls she ill?

She doesn't look well at all

Akhil, Vinay?

They're playing downstairs.

What's wrong with Amudha?

We told her

What a foolish thing to do!

What was the hurry?

Why did you tell her now?

We had to, someday

When should we have told her? At 80!

l meant, she's not mature enough

to understand

lt's better to tell her than

letting her find out...

...from someone else. Don't worry

You look very beautiful

when you're worried

Ma, aren't Akhil and Vinay like me?

No, they were born to me

Why did you tell me

l look like you?

You do look like me

No, look at my arm.

lt's darker than yours

Whether you understand me, or not,

listen to me

Nothing has changed

Your father, Akhil, Vinay, l all of us

still love you...

...the same way

Have you told them, Ma?-No

Don't tell them. They'll hit me

-No one will hit you

Did you find me in a dustbin?

Who are my parents?

We are -Will you send me away?

Silly girl! We thought

you should know

That's why, we told you.

Why did you tell me, Ma?

You could have told me later

ls T. Amudha in this class?-Yes.

And you are?

Her grandfather. Where is she?
