steal your heart and change everything

[Dogs bark in panic]
[The Godfather movie playing on TV]
Can't believe that I made it
Can't believe that I made it this far at all
Didn't mean to, but I had to
Now I've got to, I must keep running on
Overnight, I'm free
In the morning, who knows where I'll be
Oh my, I'm a little scared, but I'm free!
Run, run, run, for your life
Leave it all behind you and fly
Fast as you can, girl, no holding back
Run, run, run, don't be scared
Everything around you is brand new, so take it in
Who knows what you'll find
[Woman shoo the dog]
It's so bright outside, not like when I was tied up inside
This is amazing!
Run, run, run, for your life
Leave it all behind you and fly
Fast as you can, girl, no holding back
Run, run, run, don't be scared
Everything around you is brand new, so take it in
Who knows what you'll find
Ooooh... I can't believe that I'm free
Can't believe that I made it this far at all
[PEOPLE WHO LITTER HERE ARE DOGS]
Now all I have to do is keep on going
Just keep on going
Overnight, I'm free
[Dogs barking]
In the morning, who knows where I'll be
Oh my! I'm a litte scared, but I'm free!
Hey... Stop...
Finally I'm free
Now I'm free
Who knows where I'll be

[Ominous music]
[TV plays in the background]
Before bad luck strikes, it apparently gives one a preview.
I am Dharma.
I wake up before the alarm rings.
[ Alarm rings ]
Yet, it strikes everyday
And I strike back.
My mother would always say...
[Astrologer on TV] What you dream of at dawn, comes true. Always.
In my opinion, I'm right. But the way people perceive me is wrong.
[Phone rings]
[ Dharma] Hello.
[Telemarketer] Hello sir. I'm calling from Spencer 4G Company.
We have some new Internet offers in 4G. Can I..
[ Dharma] I already have it all.
[Gate latch creaks]
[One man's trash is another man's treasure]
Damn! Flat tyre again!
What's up Prabakaran sir?
Looks like there was trouble at home last evening?
When you have a family, these things are common, Raju.
The only way to be trouble free is to lead a lonely existence.
Does he have a problem because I have an easy life?
Or does he have a problem because he has a family?
I still haven't understood.
Not because I'm incapable of it.
I just don't have the time.
I don't usually mingle with people
Yet, there are always people behind me
Dharma...
This is Gautham. Gautham, meet Mr. Dharma. You'll be under him for training.
He is our best employee, okay? Dharma, what will you start training him in?
I'll begin with training him in punctuality.
Ah! Get used to Dharma, okay? All the best.
Sir, I had a flat tyre on the way here. Nobody offered me a ride.
One idiot even made fun of me! What to do...
What? Him? Really?
But... How will you ever learn under him?
Why? Isn't that possible?
Murali sir said he is the best employee.
Just because he never takes leave and works 365 days, he becomes the best employee?
No wife or kids. Never entertains anybody.
So, if not factory where else would he rather go?
If he had a family, he'd have known the reality. Best employee, my foot!
Looks like they aren't the best of friends, right?
He has no friends here.
Quoting him as an example, Krupakar's promotion has been overdue since 3 years.
That's why he's angry at Dharma.
Like I said
there are people behind me.
Always.
Only to speak ill of me.
[Grandpa] Look Dharma is here.
[Patani] Don't bother grandpa!
[Grandpa] Hey Patani, you don't get it!
He's been useless so far. Let him at least do this.
[Clears throat]
Hey Dharma!
Don't you belong to this colony?
Some idiot is distributing TV sets in our colony ground.
How can I teach music with his voice blaring on the speaker!
He is holding an orchestra this evening. Come with us.
I have no interest in attending the orchestra
Hey! I'm not asking you to perform in the orchestra
I'm asking you to join us in confronting him.
Come, let's go thrash him!
[Door slams]
[Opens beer bottle]
I never send anyone empty handed when they ask for my help.
I always give them an earful.
Am I not leading a happy life without anybody’s help? This suffices me.
[Fire crackers bursting]
[Dog barks]
[People shout in panic]
Get lost you!
Ah!
Please come with us brother
I don't want to, you carry on.
Brother is refusing to wake up, mummy.
Don't you already know he doesn't want to come? You get ready.
Have you taken all the musical instruments dear?
[Dharma's father] I did.
Dharani, please keep this in the car dear.
[Dharma's father] Come soon dear. Looks like it's going to rain.
[Dharma's mother] Coming!
Dharma, there's breakfast for you on the table. Brush and eat it.
Okay mummy.
And don't drink cold water. There's a flask of hot water for you.
Okay!
[Dharma's father] Sharada, how much longer?
Coming!
Don't forget to turn off the TV when there's thunder.
Come.
Brother! We'll have ice-cream on our way. But we won't bring you any.
Bye!
[Wakes up startled]
Why do these kids litter?
It's not the kids. It's the handiwork of a stray dog.
Oh god! Look at the mess it's created!
- [Adrika] Hey Rajat! I'm here! - [Adrika's mother] Adi...
[Bike approaches]
[Adrika's mother] Come.
Take
No
[Adrika's mother] Adi, you better eat. Or else Hitler uncle will take you away.
[Charlie Chaplin's song plays]
[Dharma humming]
[Telecaller] Hello, sir. I'm calling from Spencer 4G Company. We...
[Lady 1] yes, definitely. My son passed his exams only because of my prayers
[Lady 2] The Lord always gives when you ask him earnestly.
What's the big deal about god giving you something after asking for it?
There's no need to go begging to him.
After snatching everything, how will he give it back?
[Grandpa offers prayers]
Granny, when your son calls from America, ask him to send you a phone.
I'm sick of repairing this coin phone
Yeah sure. Doesn't have the time to call his parents
But I bet he will send us a phone!
Don't mind him.
Is it okay now?
Yes
Give me a pack of cigarettes.
Why son? Haven't you seen the picture on the pack?
I asked you for a cigarette. Not advice. Give me two idlis.
Do you intend to shut the shop? Shut up and give him what he wants.
My boy, stop arguing with my wife everyday.
Get married, you can argue with your wife.
Make it quick.
Wait son. I'll give you hot ones.
Dharma sir, are you going to the bhajan tonight?
I want only two idlis.
[Gate creaks]
Good morning, sir
two is enough
Okay.
Home. Factory. Fights. Idli. Cigarette. Beer.
That's what my life is all about.
There's nothing interesting about it.
[Thunder rumbles]
Let's go faster. Dharma is alone at home.
Damn these rains!
He'll be watching TV, don't worry.
How is the ice-cream sweety?
Nice pappa!
We have 5 ice-creams.
One for you, one for my brother. None for pappa.
And 3 for me, okay?
Promise?
Yes
Say it loud!
Promise...
[Dog whining]
Get lost!
Newspaper!
Out!
Uncle! Ball!
[Kid cries]
[Boy] Come let's go tell dad that Hitler uncle burnt the ball.
[Narayana Rao humming]
Hey Dharma, there's warm breakfast at home. Come eat.
There's no greater tragedy than not finding food when you're hungry.
Didn't I tell you about the tragedy of not finding food?
Now there's a greater tragedy that awaits me.
Why the hell is this dog following me?
If it comes inside the house, I will not spare it!
[Bike crashes]
[Dog squeals in pain]
[Painful moans]
[Lady 1] Oh god! Vicky has hurt himself!
[Lady 2] Oh God, Come quickly!
[Charlie Chaplin video plays]
[Murali] Bikes are to be rode on two wheels.
[Vicky] Yes, because it has only two wheels uncle!
Exactly. Ride it on both the wheels.
This is what happens when you do wheeling.
Why are you scolding my son for it? It's all that dog's fault.
[Man] Okay. Should we take him to the hospital?
[Vicky] No uncle
Stray dogs have become a menace!
[Lady 1] This dog has made a mess of this place.
[Lady 2] Yes.
[Lady 1] This was well deserved.
The kids always play here. What if it had bitten them?
Call the civic authorities, they'll take this dog away.
Where is Kumar?
He might be playing somewhere
Why are you taking it, son? The local authorities will do it.
[Prabakaran] Let him take it, before it starts to rot
[Adrika] Let's please take it to the hospital. Please dad.
[Adrika's mom] Keep quiet!
[Indistinct chatter]
Come
[Compounder] Give a dose each in the morning, noon and night.
And this syrup twice a day. - [Lady] Okay.
Bathe the dog with this shampoo for a silky smooth hair.
[Dr. Ashwin] Today's generation is blind when they're riding.
My boy, at least you should've been alert.
Always look to your left and right when you cross the road.
[Compounder] Sir, he's here.
This guy?
Tell him I don't want to speak to him. Not one word.
Doctor doesn't want to speak to you. He's angry.
He can't look after such a nice dog He only wants to show off!
This dog isn't mine.
What? Lying to me?
I can identify the owner just by looking at the dog.
Do you know how many years of experience I have?
He doesn't know of my expertise.
I'll give it an injection. And my job is done.
[Cajoles the dog]
Look at how scared it is of the needle.
Was it given any injection before?
Don't you get it? It's not mine.
The pictures have turned out great, right?
I have this thing for animals...
What is it called again?
Madness.
Ha!
No, passion.
Just like you. I can't see any animal struggling on the road.
I bring it here and treat it.
By the way, which road did I find you in?
Tablets.
He's irked!
Let's get to business now. Give these tablets thrice a day.
Your dog will be fine in no time
One minute
Didn't I tell you? It isn't mine! Tell me your fees and I'm off.
What about the dog?
Keep it here with you.
How? I'm unable to handle our own.
If the owner gets to know I got another dog, he'll kick up a fuss.
Sir
Try and understand
I can't look after it.
[Compounder] Why? Are you scared of dogs?
Doctor, looks like he has cynophobia. Your brother-in-law had the same.
[Dr. Ashwin in his native tongue] Who is the doctor? You or me?
[Compounder] You.
[Dr. Ashwin] Then shut up, will you?
Do one thing. Take the dog with you.
I get a lot of calls for adoption. I'll set up one for you.
Just four days.
Dogs are not allowed in our colony. What if someone gets to know?
How will anyone get to know if you hide this pup in your home?
Then why don't you do it? Hide it here.
And don't let the owner find out.
No way. It won't work. He'll definitely get to know.
He is the owner.
[In his native tongue] Did he ask you that?
Can't you shut up?
So what do we do now? Leave the dog back on the streets?
What if it dies under a passing vehicle? Won't your good deed get wasted?
Just four days. That's all.
Give me your number now.
The good deed and the dog.
you can keep them both.
[Madhavan] You think I am a milkman to visit your house daily?
[Prabakaran] Please don't shout. I'm due for a promotion.
[Madhavan & Prabakaran's argument continues]
Puppy!
Okay!
[TV commercial of an ice-cream plays]
Hey.. Shush!
The sin which I committed earlier
has now reached me after wandering around
like a heavy thunder rainfall
Carefree life has changed,
into a life full of stress
This will be my fate hereafter
This time the problem has reached its right destination
And is ruining my life
Repeat
[Adrika] Hi
What??
Puppy!
What?
The puppy was in the park!
Really?
Yes!
It's still there, right?
Then?
It's here!
In a distance there stands a monster shaking his hood like a lion
Each day when the dawn arrives my bad luck strikes
Even if the gods come down to earth, they cannot save me
The hell is here in the form of a dog
And is roasting me
Misfortune is finding place in my life
Like a hot burning spinner
Go in!
Uncle, ball...
Don't tell anybody that there's a dog here.
[Nods]
[Grandpa] What are you kids doing there?
[Kids] Nothing much. Uncle's dog snatched our ball.
[Grandpa] A dog?!
It's as if the snake that was dancing around the fence
Now I have wrapped it around my neck
Did this dog get chased by 'Odiyan'?
Or shooed away by God Yaman?
Is it born to unholy spirits?
Makes me want to crush you
Oh god!
My engine has worn out from constantly running after you
I cannot run around anymore
Ouch!
Repeat
Yes, Dharma
Sir
You promised to find a home for the dog in 4 days. It's been 2 weeks now.
Please find a solution soon. I can't bear this torture!
Sure! By the way, give it good food. The dog looks damn weak.
Only good-looking dogs get adopted.
Okay sir
[TV commercial of an ice-cream plays]
Repeat
Look this side.
Yes.
Look how pretty she looks!
Now watch people queue up to adopt her!
[Dr. Ashwin] Look!
She is a female dog. Be careful.
In addition to finding her a home, we'll have to accommodate her pups, too.
Yes sir? Did you find her a home?
Of course! When I'm here, why fear!
At 4 pm today, the interested party will meet you.
Okay sir
Whatsapp your address
[Dharma] I will text you
[Murali] What is this Gautham?
How can you leave so early?
Learn from Dharma. He has never asked for leave.
Nor has he asked to go home early.
[Dharma] Murali sir, I'm going home early today. Bye.

- [Boy crying] Mummy - Ma'am, it's not the dog's fault.
It is a trained dog.
- Hey boy, don't you want the dog? - I do
Why do you need the dog when we have your dad at home?
Poor boy wants the dog...
- Ma'am please - [Boy crying] I want the dog
Get inside the car
Ma'am, it's not the dog's fault. It is well trained.
Ma'am please!
[Man 1] Looks like he has guests
[Man 2] How does that matter? He'll get a fitting lesson
[Lady 1] How dare he!
[Pattani] Even if he shouts, we're not scared of him.
I didn't want to get into a fight with him to maintain peace in the colony
But today, I'll show him who I am!
[Man 2] Call him out.
[Lady 2] Hello, excuse me.
Don't you know pets aren't allowed here?
You insist on following rules for all else.
[Prabakaran] It doesn't apply only to us. It is for you and for your dog as well.
[Man 2] Acting smart with us?
If the cat shuts its eye and drinks milk, you think the world won't know?
[Prabakar] How dare you keep a pet?
This is what happens when wayward people like him live in this colony.
God alone knows what else he's upto?
[Lady 2] Look at the way he's glaring at us!
[Lady 1] To hell with his glares!
Kids play out here. Imagine having a dog in the same place!
[Prabakar] Why did you even bring it here?
You better get him out of here.
- Or else, you'll have to get out. - [Man 1] Absolutely
[Loud clang of metal]
This is my house.
I will live here.
This is my dog.
It will live here, too.
Let me see which b#st@%d has the guts to throw us out.
Damn, I think I forgot to turn off the gas.
- [Prabakaran] I didn't get scared at all
- [Prabakaran wife] Let's go. -[Prabakaran] Leave me.
- Hello. Did you arrive? - Came came
Hey you...
What for?
If I see you wheeling on this road
I'll pluck the parts out and hand it to you.
Not of the bike, but of your body.
[KEATON]
You think I'm jobless? I'm a dog doctor. Not a dog broker.
I didn't mean that. But please understand my situation
Okay, I'll put up a post on Facebook
Send me the dog's license number immediately.
License?
[Turns off the TV]
I haven't got it done.
You don't have one? Then do it right now.
If you have a license, adoption gets easier.
Okay sir. Where do I get it done?
[DOG LICENSE CAMP 2020]
[Kamalraju] Next
Come Pammi.
Hi...
- [Devika] Name? - Pammi
What do you feed her?
Pedigree and milk. And fruits at night.
Good. Is she trained?
Yes, the milk she drinks is fetched by herself!
Well groomed.
[Lady] My sugar plum
- What happened sweety? Are you hungry? - [Boy crying]
Mummy! Come soon. I'm hungry.
What's your problem?
- Not you sweety. Relax. - [Kamalraju] Next
Name?
Dharma
Not yours. The dog's.
What do you call it?
[Clicking of the tongue in the background]
[Clicks tongue]
Sorry?
Its name is...[clicks tongue]
Really?
That's how I call it. Write it now.
Hmmm
What do you feed it?
Idli
What?
Idli
Only idli?
No, I give chutney, too.
Look. Dogs have a special diet. You should stick to that.
And maintain its hygiene, too.
So, take this. Dog Essential Care Guide.
It mentions how to take care of one's pet. You need it.
Don't teach me how to take care of my pet.
Keep that book with you. Let's get down to business.
Give me the license.
[Kamalraju] Next...
[Throws the book in the bin]
Tell me.
Hi
Hi. Can we come in?
No
Hello, Mr. Dharma! Excuse me.
My name is Devika.
- Kamalraju - Pragati
We are from the Animal Welfare Board.
We've got a complaint that your dog isn't being looked after well.
Who gave it?
She did
Are you joking?
First you complain and then come to check on me?
We have the authority. So, shall we come in?
Cigarette isn't good for dogs.
It's not the dog but I who smoke it.
Smoking is injurious to health.
Anybody's health.
Come to the point
[Clicks tongue]
Not you. Your dog. [Clicks tongue] Where is it?
Hey dog!
Not you. My dog.
So, why is there only one fish in the aquarium?
There were three. Now there's only one.
Animal cruelty is a punishable offence.
The other day we caught an offender.
He was sentenced to 4 years in prison.
4 years
But you don't worry. I'd like you to be well informed, that's all.
What to do?
It's my job.
I have to do it
-[Devika] Kamalraj, check if [clicks tongue] is healthy.
Okay, madam.
Hello Chu Chu
Help! It'll bite me! It's an extremely healthy dog ma'am!
Please call it sir! It'll bite me!
Sir! Please call it!
[Kamalaraju continues to scream]
Your dog is damn sharp
Anyway, the Pedigree is over. Buy a new one.
You eat the idlis. Keep the cigarettes away from the dog.
So, we're off. For now. Bye [clicks tongue].
Dharma
Yes, Dharma! All well?
You have two days. Find someone by then.
If not, I'll plonk him on your desk.
Oh come on! This job is snap of a finger for me!
What! He cut the call?
[Madhavan] Don't say you want more time! I can't wait any longer.
[Prabakaran] Don't create a fuss everyday. You both go inside.
[Madhavan] What else should I do? I just need my money back.
I'm saying I have no money.
What are you saying?
Then what? Am I printing notes here?
I'll give it when I get the promotion.
[Madhavan] I can't wait that long. [Prabakaran] Then I can't give it to you.
- [Madhavan] I want it today, else I won't budge from here. - [Prabakaran] Do as you please.
Hey dog!
Come here
What are you staring at?
Will you come or should I bash you up?
No, I'll leave.
So you've hired people to bash me up, huh? I'll fetch the police.
I am not a coward
Is there no one from the patient's family?
Coming right behind us.
Hey.. hey..
[Security guard] Hey dog!
Somebody catch it...
ECG is normal. It's just a panic attack that you had.
Do you have anxiety issues?
Okay. Do you smoke?
[Doctor] Who the hell let that dog in?
[Security gaurd] It came running behind the ambulance.
[Charlie Chaplin on TV] I'm sorry, I don't want to be an emperor.
That is not my business.
I don't want to rule or conquer anyone.
I shall like to help everyone if possible.
We think too much and feel too little.
More than machinery, we need humanity.
More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities, life will be violent.
And all will be lost.
[TV commercial of an ice-cream plays]
[Dr. Ashwin] Thank god you're at home!
Why can't you answer the phone? I tried calling you so many times!
Feels like I've come to a bar.
What brings you here, sir?
What do you mean?
Didn't you call and blast me the other day?
That's why I've decided to reduce your tension today.
[Whistles]
Come, come kids
Come
Who are these people, sir?
They're here to adopt the dog. What else?
Ma'am come in, please. Come in.
you too, come in sir.
That's the dog!
Ma'am, here. Take it for a trial.
- [Kid 1] Give it to me -[Dr.Ashwin] Come madam
- [Kid 2] I want to go first. - [Kid 1] No, I want to!
[Compunder] Careful kids. Be gentle with the dog.
-[Kid 1] Come here - [Kid 2] Hey cutie. Come, come!
Come here, don't be scared, come.
It looks so cute!
[Kid 1] Yes
Uncle, have you named it?
No, it's a new dog. Name it once you take it home.
Hmmm
Mummy, I want a black dog.
Don't kid. It's easier to spot the dirt in a black dog.
That's true
Has the dog been potty trained?
Of course! It even flushes after doing its job!
[Lady] Hello...hi...!
Sir, I need to have a word with you.
What's the matter?
He's just concerned because he's been with the dog so long.
Obviously, he'll miss it.
Don't worry. I think the kids are already in love with the dog.
Happy? I'll leave now.
He will transfer the license documents to you.
[Lady] Okay
Let's go ma'am.
Drink little one...
Take son...
What happened son? You seem to be upset.
What nonsense is this! Brainless...
[Dog barking on TV]
Don't keep barking...
Go eat your idli.

Is it sleeping?
Once it wakes up, please show this picture and tell that Adrika made it.

[Adrika's mother] Adrika!
Okay uncle, see you tomorrow. Bye.
[Dr. Ashwin] How long does it take for you to transfer the license?
I'll get it done, sir.
No use of that now. They've got the forms home already.
Take the documents and sign it for them. Don't ruin my reputation.
That lady is repeatedly calling me saying that the dog doesn't flush after its potty.
I'll send the address. Please go.
[Shanti Nivas - Peaceful house]
Come out! Now!
Mummy, I want a black doggy...
Shut up now!
New mornings have blossomed here
In the winter, the cool dawns are born
The time has come in search of us
Let's go!
Come with me
You are the one who will be with me forever
as my inseparable shadow
the season changed unexpectedly and it rained
and you started to fill my heart like the raindrops
Is the dog yours?
Adorable! What have you named it?
The distant shores are nearer now
And slowly, you became the kindness in me
your face is blooming like a garden
[Dharma] Charlie
and I can see your colors in those flowers
Charlie
You are the tender flower falling inside my heart
Charlie
I'll be there forever to write the beauty in your eyes
Uncle, what are you upto?
- Surprise - [Adrika's mother] Adi, don't be late.
Yes mummy, I'm coming.
Oh Charlie
Hey, the thread of dreams will never cut off
I'm with you even in the darkness of night
Sorrows will fade and sweetness will fill
Good morning Gautham
- Good morning sir - Sit down
On the roads I stood alone is now filled with your laughs
[Raju] Dharma sir has changed so much!
We are together forever in the depths of love
We are the doves in the sky of desire, oh Charlie
Oh Charlie, to my eyes
You are the neverending spring of love
Charlie
you are the new beginning
Charlie
You are my life
Charlie
Let's move as one
[Ice-cream commercial plays on TV]
Hey
Jumping in front of the TV won't fetch you ice-cream. It's in the fridge, take it
When I wake up, you are the first thing I see like a morning flower filled with love
Like a tender breeze, you wrap around gently
I have quit smoking
Huh!!
Charlie
You are the tender flower falling inside my heart
Charlie
[Adrika] Ready?
I'll be there forever to write the beauty in your eyes
[Adrika] Smile
Charlie...
Sit! Charlie sit.
Sit, or else I won't give you this.
Charlie, please repeat the 'thanks' what you showed me a while ago.
Uncle, I taught Charlie the 'thanks' gesture.
Really?
Charlie, come here.
Uncle come. Quick.
Okay.
Charlie, show him...
Charlie do the 'thanks' gesture.
She did it a while ago uncle.
Charlie, please fold your hands and show him what you did a while ago.
I promise she did it, uncle. Please do it Charlie...
Adi, looks like Charlie is tired. She'll do it later.
No uncle. She did it some time ago.
Please Charlie...show him
If Charlie doesn't gesture 'thanks', lets not give her the ice-cream.
Okay forget it! I'm leaving.
All you do is eat, sleep and wander. Can you do anything else?
Poor kid. She was in tears.
Take the helmet and ride by yourself.
Okay, okay. Show Adrika what you learnt when she comes tomorrow.
Understood?
I'll be back home soon today.
I have a surprise for you this evening.
What's this new trick now? Move it!
Oh yeah! Charlie fetch!
Okay then...
I'll take you for a ride in the evening. Okay? Bye.
[Madhavan] You keep asking me to come to various places. You take me for a cab?
- I'll thrash you! - Please....
[Murali sir] Dharma, here's the promotion list of your department.
Let me know who is eligible.
Okay sir.
[Murali] I'll ask them to load it.
Sir
Done? Okay.
Nothing is permanent in this wicked world
Not even our troubles
[Colleagues] Congratulations! when are you treating us?
Charlie Chaplin is right
I had a limited view of life. But Charlie came along and changed it.
What happened? Still angry?
The house is full of paw prints.
Go to Adrika's house for a few days.
I'll begin painting the house from tomorrow.
Hey! Why haven't you eaten anything?
Oh yeah?
Now?
Charlie
Sorry doctor. I left the ball with Charlie.
I'll ensure it doesn't happen again.
Dharma, this isn't because she swallowed the ball.
Okay. Then?
She has Hemangiosarcoma.
I hope there's no problem. Please give her some medication.
I will. But it won't suffice.
Do you have to operate on her?
Dharma, she has cancer.
She has clots in her veins.
I suspected this when I saw her. Blood test, CT scan is all done.
It's confirmed she has cancer.
But I've looked after her well, doctor. How can she get cancer?
Like you suggested, she's even got all her vaccinations.
You've looked after her well. But that's not it.
I feel this is genetic mutation.
Some breeders mate siblings and this happens.
This is called inbreeding. Some breeders will do anything for money.
I found her on the road, doctor. I didn't buy her from a breeder.
I agree. But you found a lost dog.
How else will you find a labrador on the street?
I'll prescribe some medicines. Take care of her.
[Dr. Ashwin] I know you're hurt.
But she's in pain, too. Remember that.
Dharma!
How much time does she have, doctor?
[Dr. Ashwin] Can't say Dharma. She's in her final stage.
You can get chemotherapy done.
But you'd rather have her living a short and sweet life than a long and painful one.
Happiness heals pain, they say.
Charlie has been my healing happiness.
But where do I seek for the happiness that will heal her pain?
[Film showcasing snow plays]
SNOW
I kept thinking that it was the ice-cream that excited her.
Snow...
I’d be clipped off my wings and fall down
If you are not with me
I’ll guard you to the fullest
I want you without your smile fading away
You are the only one who’d sense me just by my shadow
[Dharma] Let's go Charlie
When my heart was burning in pain
You became my solace
And you became the lullaby of my life.
You are my protector
Your love is the moon’s everlasting feather
providing me with such warmth
On the boat of time, while we search for the shores Why have you fallen silent now?
- [Adrika] Uncle, when will you both return?
- [Dharma] As soon as possible.
- [Adrika] Okay, come soon. Without you guys I'll feel sad
Don't let Charlie play in the water. She'll catch a cold.
Please bring back Charlie in time for my fancy dress competition.
I'm going dressed as Charlie Chaplin.
Don't tell Charlie, it's a surprise.
Uncle...
she really did show the 'thanks' gesture the other day.
It's all right now.
No, it's not. Give it to me.
No way! What do you know? I'm the one using it. I know...
It's nice.
Please keep your foot firmly.
- [Charlie barks] - Yes, I Know.
Ah! Son! When did you come?
New one. Got it from the city. Nice?
Like a sun, your love is showering me with the light
In this journey that seems like a dream
the memories are slowly humming
Your shining eyes now seem like a burning star
causing pain in my heart
Once the time we are counting, ends
I’ll come in search of you
I will be there for you until your last breath
Come Charlie.
Dharma...
Sir...
The first time you brought Charlie to me, she was petrified of the injection. Remember?
Yes...
Wait, let me share a video with you on Whatsapp. Watch it right now.
[Video on phone] Hey come on Keaton.
Come on
This is going to be fun
Are you scared?
[Dr. Ashwin] She's so scared of needles!
Has she been injected before this?
[Video on phone] You naughty bitch
You think you can escape from me? Huh? No. Never.
Now see what I do to you
[Vicious laugh]
Now taste this cigarette
[Stubs cigarette on the puppy]
[Puppy whining in pain]
Keaton
I've got his address. I will file a complaint with the police.
If you can, go say 'hi' to him. Say it with a punch, okay?
[Dogs barking]
[Bell ringing]
Who are you?
What do you want?
Do you have a spade?
What?
A pick axe?
[Angry barks]
I will do the talking. You keep quiet.
Do you remember her?
Keaton
Syringe
Cigarette.
[Dharma] Sir, my job here is done.
He's safe here. Go ahead and file the complaint.
Charlie!
Every dog has its day.
Today is Charlie's.
Didn't he mention where he's off to?
He doesn't bother telling us all that. Moron!
Did he look after the dog well?
Would a man who tortures humans, treat his dog well?
I pity that dog. Wonder how it lived with him...
I always had my doubts about him.
Yes! He always tortured it.
You're showing so much concern about the dog.
But there's a 'pets not allowed' board outside.
Yes. But not anymore.
The rules have changed. I got it done.
We need pet lovers like you.
We have many rescue dogs.
You must adopt one. Give me your number.
Sure! Next time. I have to get my bike serviced.
[Vicky] Don't bother with that moron ma'am!
Varapuzha
Hello ma'am. I've stepped out for a bit.
Is that so? Share the location. I'll go right away.
Okay.
Same location!
[Breeder] Hey let me go
[Breeder] Don't mess with me
[Breeder] You will pay for it
[Pragati] Has the first aid been done?
[Breeder] Let me go
[Pragati] Ma'am is here. Hi ma'am.
How many dogs are here?
115 ma'am.
And puppies?
77
Have you got their pictures?
Yes.
[Grunts]
Photos?
[Kamalraju] Yes, here.
[Devika] Where is he off to?
[Devika] another culprit has fled the scene
I will take care of him.
you two check the CCTV footage and let me know
Let's ride on our bike swiflty
Every place has a story to say
When lost, let's look up to the sky
And call the sky to unite in our journey
It's time for the wings of night to flap
This is a world made of dreams
Let go of the grip and fly like a kite
[Devika] Why didn't you tell me earlier that the battery is empty?
[Kamalraju] I thought you'll figure when it runs out of charge.
My foot! I've shared the location with you. Go to hell!
Hi
Do you have rooms?
Yes sir, single or double?
We do sir, but...
Pets not allowed sir.
[Hotel receptionist] But if the dog barks, it will disturb our guests.
Don't worry. She never barks.
[Barks]
[YOU CAN KEEP YOUR TRUST IN US. AND WE SHALL KEEP YOU ON THE RIGHT PATH
[Hotel receptionist] Excuse me sir?
Sir...
Sorry sir, pets not allowed.
She's like a pair of eyes for me. I can't budge without her.
Sorry sir. Hotel rules.
Sir, just imagine. A blind man. In this dark hour. Where will he even go?
No mummy. The office has booked a nice room...
Hotel Narayana!
Let's ride on our bike swiflty
Every place has a story to say
When lost, let's look up to the sky
And call the sky to unite in our journey
The journey has just begun
And you are by my side
Let's explore this magical world together.
Let's get high on happiness
By forgetting our miseries
and move like the waves of the river
[Devika] Excuse me. Did someone by name Dharma check in last night?
Yes ma'am. The blind man. He had come with his dog.
Blind?
Yes
Yes, blind. Can you charge my mobile please?
Stay here. I'll be back.
Carefree like the wind let's flow in all the directions
Hey Charlie!
Charlie! Stop!
Charlie!
Don't run. Wait!
Charlie!
Stay..
Charlie, stay.
Charlie
[Glass shatters]
[indistinct chatter]
I had never been to a police station.
You gave me that privilege, too.
Poor dog, sir. She's done it unknowingly and you put her behind bars?
An owner should be responsible of his dog.
Ask him to give 10,000 bucks.
Okay sir.
[Dharma] I don't have so much cash, sir.
[Constable] If you have got no cash then continue to rot in there.
Okay, here take a look.
[Barks]
I have only two thousand bucks. I have to reach Himachal with this amount.
[Constable] Himachal? [Dharma] This won't suffice even for the fuel.
This is all I have.
This amount won't do for us.
Sir, I want to file a complaint.
Tell me.
That dog is mine.
What?
The dog in the lock up is mine. He's stolen it from me.
Oh!
Sir, he has only two thousand bucks.
It's okay. The dog's owner is here. She will pay the rest of it.
Isn't it ma'am?
Me?
[Police] Yes
Why sir?
Your dog has broken the windshield of our jeep. That's why.
Hey, let him go.
[Constable] Okay sir.
Sir, I'll give you the two thousand bucks. But please don't release him.
Do you take this for a lodge to take money and keep him inside?
Take his signature and release him.
Okay sir.
Pay up the money and take the dog.
Sir, you can't let him go.
I am an Animal Welfare Officer. I have proof. This fellow...
[Constable] Ma'am, here's your dog.
Sir, this fellow is torturing the dog.
He's also partnered with a criminal and is running an illegal breeding centre.
According to IPC 428 and 429, it's an offence to kill or hurt any animal including a stray dog.
This fellow and his boss have been torturing so many animals.
It has all been captured on CCTV. I will submit evidence.
You can't let him go in exchange for money
Don't release him until my team comes.
If you do that, I'll have to take strict action against you.
Pay up and take your damn dog away!
What are you feeding her?
Get down.
Until my team comes, I will stay with her.
Get down right away.
You think I don't know the sort of person you are?
I know where you're taking her...
[Police] Will you two leave or should I put you in the lock up again?
My lover is in my heart
Lord Ram is in my heart
My lover is in my heart
Lord Ram is in my heart.
Oh where, oh where…
Where should I go to find you?
My lover is still in my heart..
I've seen Lord Brahma, seen Lord Vishnu
Don't bark! I'm here to save you.
I have seen Goddess Saraswati.
My lover is in my heart
Charlie...
I've been working for 4 years.
Just because you change her name, you think I won't get to know?
On top of it, that blind man act at the hotel.
That bald breeder is your boss, right?
Look. How innocent she is! How can you torture this poor soul?
I've never seen a zoo sadist like you!
Who said I torture her?
I mean...
[Phone rings]
Wait.
[Kamalraju on phone] Pragati, looks like the rescuer has to be rescued!
Aye!
[Kamalraju] We've checked the CCTV footage.
Wait...
Tell me now.
[Kamalesh] Ma'am, it was Dharma who thrashed that breeder like a hero!
Didn't I tell you he's a nice man?
Come back now. Such a waste to have gone all the way...
Come Charlie...
Thank you for saving all those dogs.
I'm going back tomorrow.
I came here in a hurry. Mom has been missing me
I'd appreciate if you could drop me to the airport.
You can go and sleep inside.
Thanks.
[Kamalraju on phone] Ma'am, the direct flight is only available tomorrow evening.
Shall I book it for you?
Okay.
She follows you everywhere!
That's how she is.
She doesn't believe strangers.
I've been to Ladakh.
On a Bullet. That too, a solo ride.
So, how far are you planning to ride?
Hey, where to?
[Excited barks]
[Dharma] Excuse me sir...
[Receptionist] Yes?
Can you take my dog for paragliding?
Dog? No.
Who takes a dog on paragliding?
Hi sir
Yes madam
She can. But the rule says someone must accompany her.
They have a team. Let one of them go with her.
One of us, is what he says. Why don't you go?
Me? I can't.
Why? Scared?
No. I'm not interested, that's all.
Why don't you go? Charlie will be happy, too.
Charlie doesn't trust strangers. So you go. All will be well.
[Excited barks]
I'm focused
I've been watching for the omens
I've been listening to everything you've said
Its been running through my head
Locked and loaded
I've got the feeling that you've noticed
Yeah I've only just begun
I won't stop until its done
Till you're broken
So welcome to the fire
I'm the one who lit the night up
See them running through your fame
As we're walking through the flames
Getting higher
So welcome to the fire
Welcome to the fire
See them running through your fame
As we're walking through the flames
Getting higher
So welcome to the fire
I've been waiting for this moment
The final battle of the chosen
See I'm never gonna quit. Got my legacy set in motion
So welcome to the fire...
welcome to the fire...
[Dharma] Charlie...
See them running through your fame
As we're walking through the flames
Getting higher
welcome to the fire
Someone was on Cloud 9 along with Charlie!
Do you want to know something?
The positons dogs sleep in reveal a lot about their feelings.
They sleep like this only when they feel safe and are attached to someone.
She trusts you a lot.
[Devika] I'm so happy to be part of this event.
See you soon.
Charlie. From tomorrow, the side cars is entirely yours.
What happened?
Wait, I'm coming.
Leave it.
How many times have I told you not to roll in the mud...
[Devika] Let's go? I have to be at the airport by 7 pm.
Are you crazy! Why don't you keep a tab on these things? Move it.
It's a skin infection. It's dangerous.
Why have a dog if you can't take care of it?
Poor Charlie... This looks bad.
[Dharma] Cigarette
Wait, I'll be back.
Lend your ear.
Let's spend some moments in happiness
Hey...This gift of nature you and I have
[Devika] I've missed my flight mummy...
Okay.
Do come. Come let's enjoy
[Adrika mom calling]
Do come
Let's forget the burden of sorrows for now
Do come
These flowing winds that come and go
It's not just you whose luck is such everyone has to face this
[Dharma] I thought she was excited about ice-cream.
I later realised it was for the snow.
Before something can go wrong, I want her to see the snow.
Hey, don't worry. She'll be all right. Your love will keep her strong.
Bear this in mind
things will not be like you intend.
Things are never the way they appear
That's the rule of this journey.
This is the gift of life.
In all these tough times, there is a sweet taste of happiness, too.
Do come...
These flowing winds that come and go,
Do come...
Sometimes salty, sometimes fresh.
Do come...
This gift of nature
That you and I have, we have to accept it with love.
Finish it fast Charlie. We've to leave.
Hi Devika!
Hey..
You look nice. It's been a while since I've seen you. How are you?
I'm good.
I finally get to meet you.
This must be Charlie. Hey Charlie! Hey Dharma.
Hi.
I'm Karshan Roy. I work with Travel Diaries.
It's an international travel magazine.
Devika has told me everything about you.
And I thought it's really interesting.
So this time we want to feature you on the cover.
I mean, about Charlie.
So can you please tell us about your journey?
Let's go..
Wow! Unbelievable
I'm sure Charlie's wishes will come true
I will pray for her and for you
And thank you very much for your valuable time. Alright, lets go?
You carry on. I'll join you shortly.
Sure.
Lovely meeting you Dharma. Bye Charlie. All right. Let's go.
He's my close friend
We studied together in Kochi. He lives here.
He forced me to come home when he got to know I'm here.
I thought it'd be good for him to meet you.
I also have work to attend to. So I've to go.
It was really a memorable journey.
Charlie will be all right, don't worry.
If you need any help, feel free to call me.
Bye Charlie.
Bye.
Let's go.
[Karshan roy] Jump in.
What?
Okay enough.
I am okay.
Don't be so sad Charlie.
It was the two of us who started this journey.
So let's continue doing so.
We are literally living on streets, right Charlie?
Where in Kerala are you from?
Ernakulam.
I'm from Madhuri.
Do you know Tamil?
A little bit, sir.
Oh, nice!
Your name?
Dharma.
Myself Vamsi. Vamsinadhan.
This is my son. Karuppa. Your son's name?
Daughter. She's Charlie.
Oh...
Hey, Karuppa, no!
Hi Charlie, welcome to my home!
These are Karuppa's medals from various dog shows.
- Dharma right? - Yes
Do you want to eat now? Or do you want to freshen up first?
I think I'll freshen up.
So you've set off to see the snow...
When the people you love the most leave, it hurts. Isn't it Karuppa?
Sir, your wife....?
Oh
I haven't told you about it yet!
Her name is Rani. Our's is first sight at love!
But our parents didn't agree.
So we eloped and settled down here.
She worked at a bank near by. We were so happy!
We led a wonderful life. But we couldn't have kids.
We consulted many doctors.
They told us we could never have kids.
The problem was with me.
After that, I went into depression.
Then one day, my wife gave me a wonderful gift!
Guess what?
My son, Karuppa!
My life transformed after he came.
Then Rani gave me another big surprise.
There was a letter on the table. But I didn't open it.
My help Veluchami told me that...
she... with a colleague
Aye, it's ok..
she eloped with her colleague. Anyway...
Leave it
Poor lady, how long would she have tolerated two fools like us!
She left us all behind.
Karuppu, I hope you never leave me. Should you even think about it, I'll kill you!
Come, let's dance.
Hey... Charlie...
- [Vamshi] Hey Dharma, morning! - [Dharma] Morning sir.
Slept well?
Yes sir, very well
There's some fresh fish.
You freshen up and come. Let's feast on it!
[Vamsi] Veluchami!
Come with me there are miles to go
Ain't nothing in our way at all
Let seasons come, the leaves may grow or fall
Oh yeah.
Summer winds cool the way as we travel far
Winter sun to keep us warm
We follow the rainbow to find a pot of gold
[Vamsi] Cheers Dharma
Cheers!
Charlie...
[Karuppa barks]
On the way we'll face the weather
Hold my hand we'll roam together.
Don't let go for I can't walk alone
Fallen leaves look pretty when you're by my side
Old paths feel fresh and fine
The clouds all look like you when they fall upon my eyes
Hey Karuppa, the swing is broken.
Go play somewhere else. I'll repair it later.
Veerji, that'll be 20,000 bucks.
20,000 bucks?
Yes sir.
Have you forgotten our horse trade?
Yes Veerji. Consider that deal to be sealed.
Keep 15,000 bucks. Good day.
Okay Veerji. Good day.
Hey come on..Charlie... Charlie... look here
Hey... Karuppa look here
Yes.. made for each other
Ah! Already love sick?
My Karuppa is already heart broken because you're leaving.
So then? Leaving huh?
Yes, thank you so much.
Dharma, we may come from different states. But the water we drink is the same!
No formalities between us.
Dharma, I have something for you.
This is a participant pass to the national-level dog show in Ludhiana next week.
This time I won't be participating.
If you have the time, go watch it.
It's a dog world. You and Charlie will have the best experience. Trust me.
Sure.
Dharma, When you finish the trip, come and meet us on your way home.
- Okay - Bye.
This is hard! Come let's go fishing Karuppa.
Karuppa...
[Anchor 1] The Nobel laureate Konrad Lorenz once said
“The bond with a true dog is as lasting as the ties of this earth will ever be”

[Crowd cheering]
[Anchor 1] Without taking much of your time, lets get the show started right away.
Welcome our Judges onboard for this year's show.
His pets have not only saved people from danger
but also bravely stood by the nation during war crisis.
Please welcome Mr. Pradham Singh from Amritsar.
[Anchor 1] Welcome onboard sir.
And from Kolkata we have our dog psychologist Namratha Banarjee
[Anchor 2] The founder of the Pets Care Foundation & Adoption Centre, Mr. Vivan Sharma from Delhi
[Anchor 1] And the most awarded Animal Welfare Officer from Kerala Ms. Devika Aaradhya
Hello, hi.
When we have such prestigious judges here with us today, what more can be asked for?
Let's give it up for our first participant, Mr. Ashok Rathod and Sarama.
Our three times championship winner here at NADC. -[Lady] Come on Ashok!
They look pretty confident.
Let's see if they can take the trophy home this year
[Anchor 2] Thats a quick start with a smooth double hurdle jump.
Moving past the tunnel.
Quickly through the dog walk.
A smooth ring jump.
Tricky yet amazingly past the wave pool
There seems to be a bit of a contact with the obstacle
Swiftly through the long bar jump
Inside the tunnel again
Moving through the see-saw.
Leading to the A-frame
and the final jump.
What a spectacular performance by Sarama, a two and half year old Belgian Malinois.
[Anchor 1] And now, lets give a huge round of applause for our second participant, Mr.Kashi from Lucknow
[Devika] Hi
along with his 2 year old doberman who was the first runner up of the 24th NADC.
[Devika] What brings you here?
Participant?
All the best!
[Anchor 2] They take the first jump over the hurdle.
Remarkable pace. Truly tremendous through the tunnel.
Good connect with the dog over the ramp. And nice smooth jump from the ring.
Nicely through the wavepools.
It's lovely to watch them perform together.
That's the highest jump any dog has taken so far, ladies and gentlemen.
They seem to be doing great for the first time.
That's the final jump that has been taken.
And they finish it.
[Anchor 1] So let's welcome our next participant Dharma and Charlie.
an one and half year old female Labrador.
[Anchor 2] Look at the energy and the enthusiasm of Charlie.
Looks like she wants to quickly finish and take the trophy home.
Charlie...
[Anchor 1] Uh-oh
That was bit of a wrong start to the agility.
[Judge 1] What's happening there?
[Judge 2] Must be for the food!
[Anchor 2] Well, she certainly seems to be entertaining the spectators and the judges in a totally different way.
[Judge 1] Hello, excuse me!
What the hell is happening man?
You're unable to handle your own pet! In addition, you're wasting all our time!
- Sir actually we are not here to participate - Oh really??
Do you even understand where you are standing right now?
Do we look like buffoons?
That's what he thinks
What's the name again?
[Devika] Charlie
Charlie.
Chaplin. Good combination.
In my 13 years of experience I have never seen anything like this.
[Judge 1] Ruined the show for us!
Looks like your dog is more intelligent than you.
Shut up.
Just eat, roam and sleep! Can you do anything else!!
Because of you, I am to be shamed
Never show me your face again.
You are like the moonlight in the clear night sky
You are in heaven and I am on earth, but you are always mine
Hey moon, when you glow in front of my eyes
Will you come to me and be one with me
You are the depth of my heart
You are the melody of my song
You are all my dreams
You are my life and my everything
You are the only one inside me, alive and breathing forever
To understand and melt into me
You came on the chariot of clouds
Just to see you, and dance with you
I am eagerly waiting with excitement
Hey moon, when you glow in front of my eyes
Will you come to me and be one with me
You are enough for me, To play with and to tell stories
You stand at my window just to look at me
You'll reunite with me even if I fight
My beloved, you are like my shadow
holding me and not letting me fall
Hey moon, when you glow in front of my eyes
Will you come to me and be one with me
You are the depth of my heart
You are the melody of my song
You are all my dreams
You are my life and my everything
Camera 3, pan to the dog.
Yes fix.
You think she can make it?
Impossible.
[Anchor 1] Ladies and gentlemen this is truly impressive.
History has been made out here with this performance at the 25th NADC.
I mean look at the audience around us
all of them standing on their feet, giving a fantastic standing ovation
watching this truly beautiful bond.
Love you Charlie.
[Crowd cheering]
Anyway, there are lots of Charlies back home, too.
Mummy called to say they're all missing me.
So I'm off.
The first time I came to your house, I had fixed a tracker on Charlie.
I'll come looking for her whenever I miss her.
Okay?
[Dharma Voiceover] As someone who has always lived a confined life
Only after stepping out into the world, I discovered just how beautiful life is.
Life has been painted with new colours with new memories at every juncture.
My heart yearns for this journey to never end!
[glass bottle shatters]
[Distant yelping]
[Dharma] Haven't I worked without taking leave for so long?
No, I can't wait sir.
How can they hold my salary?
What should I have informed, sir?
Haven't I worked this long? So I am entitled to my salary!
No need. I know how to get it!
Charlie...
Hello sir, I've come from Ernakulam.
I've run out of money
My dog hasn't eaten anything since yesterday
Please keep this mobile and give us food.
[Hotel owner] Chotu...
[Petty shop woman] Hello...
Who is that, dear?
No voice at the other end.
Hello...
[Charlie barks]
[Grandma on phone] Son?
Dharma?
Come Charlie, let's go.
It's not our's anymore, come let's go.
Charlie, please.
Smile at your child
My feet and my prayers both wonʼt work
Smile at your child
[Baul instrument playing]
Compassion my lord
Im setting out on this path
please allow me to come close to you
Give me such companionship throughout
that my forehead now only bows at your sacred place
There are a thousand hinderance along the way
but you can make it go away
give me such companionship throughout
That my forehead now only bows at your sacred place
I ask you to watch over and nothing more
Turn your face to me god and smile at your child
If you stay oblivious My feet and my prayers both wonʼt work
Turn your face to me god and smile at your child
Smile at your child
[Buddhist chants]
We can't guarantee you anything. Nor are we sure how long you need to stay here.
She was pregnant, but her puppies are no more.
My whole body is burning like a midnight fever
Will I end up being burnt in the fire?
Inside my heart, even the snow is melting with this force of fire
I am suffering in this pain
Give back its life, take mine in return
You are the life that completes me
I won't let you die in the halfway my dear flower
you are the kindest and wisest
I'll fall at your feet like the petals of a flower
Comfort me and show me mercy, oh god!
Oh lord, sew my broken heart with the thread of love.
Fill me in...
Charlie...
Charlie
How much do you love me?
I love you too charlie
You are the shade I seek in this sun
I am a wounded heart
Should the blood flowing from it, be an offering to you
Days and nights are fading away
I have become a clueless wanderer
Give me at least a moment of joy
My beloved's life is trembling in pain
[Kids] - Hey cutie...
I will not let it go away like a fading cloud
No. Don't touch.
[Kids] Mamma doggy's name is Charlie
you are the kindest and wisest
I'll fall at your feet like the petals of a flower
Comfort me and show me mercy, oh god!
Oh lord, sew my broken heart with the thread of love.
Fill me in...
Stop..Stop !
[Dr. Ashwin on call] Dharma at this stage, Charlie has limited time.
Whatever you wish to do for her, do it soon!
Charlie
There's been a landslide. Roads are closed for now.
We request you to kindly co-operate.
[Army officer] Do not let any vehicles go ahead
The convoy will be here in sometime. I need the list of all the rescuers.
Sir, what happened?
There's a landslide ahead.
When will you permit movement?
I said, you can't go. There's been a landslide.
Sir, that's not possible, I can't go back
I have travelled too far, I need to reach before it's too late.
Don't you get it? There's a landslide ahead.
I don't care, sir. I have come from far.
I have a dog, too.
What is he blabbering? Please take him away.
Sir, please sir
[Officer Bakshi] Let me see how you'll go any further.
[Dharma] Please sir I will have to go, understand.
[Officer Bakshi] I said go back
[Army Commander] Mr.Bakshi, what's going on?
[Officer Bakshi] Sir, this fellow is crazy.
Just doesn't get it despite telling him that the roads are closed.
Sir, he's not letting me go to the other side. Please help me.
My dog is unwell. I need to show her snow at the earliest.
If I don't do it today, it might be too late.
Please sir... I beg you.
Please sir...
So how's Charlie now?
She is okay.
When I got to know your story
I was reminded of my army dogs.
Either they leave us, or we leave them.
The one who gets left behind, is the one who suffers.
[Transceiver]
Listen Dharma, I know what this journey means to you and Charlie
But there's been a landslide and the situation is really bad.
I don't know when the roads will open.
But there's a convoy that is going to Kashmir tomorrow.
You will find the snow there too, you can join them.
You can stay here for the night.
Sir
How do you know about me and Charlie?
Oh! You are famous my friend
Where is it?
Here
A Tale of Dharmaraj in Kaliyug
The whole world knows your story
Best wishes my friend
Here the temperature drops steeply at night. Take care.
Mr. Bakshi
[Breathing heavily]
I am told that if we travel towards Kashmir tomorrow, we might be able to see the snow.
But... time!
Charlie's every breath was a reminder that we did not have much time in our hands!
Charlie
[Heavy breathing]
Charlie, have you seen snow before this?
This is my first time ever.
I'm tired Charlie. You carry on.
[Dharma] Sir, it was a sight you missed! She was so happy!
[Army Officer] Where had you been?
Sir, just been out, nearby
[Adrika] I miss you Charlie
Adrika, she still hasn't showed 'thanks'.
Really Charlie? You haven't thanked yet?
Dharma, as you said
You should visit me and Karuppa before you can go back.
[Devika on phone] What is she upto now?
Sleeping.
[Devika on phone] We should meet as soon as you come back.
Sure
[Devika on phone] Good night
Good night Devika
Are you happy Charlie?
I know
this has been a memorable day for you.
It's been the same for me too.
Let's take a flight home.
Everyone's waiting for you.
Good night Charlie.
[Auto arrives]
Charlie!
[Giggles]
Charlie
Sir, have you seen Charlie?
No.
Have you seen Charlie?
No.
Charlie
What happened?
Sir, have you seen Charlie?
No.
Charlie
Are you okay?
Charlie..
Why did you leave me and come here Charlie?
Do you know how much I searched for you?
I've lost everyone I've loved.
I thought I could somehow save you
It's hurting me so much Charlie
I don't know what to do
I tried my best
doctors, prayers...
but I'm unable to save you.
[Thanks gesture]
[Charlie, you had shown the 'thanks' gesture. Please do it again.]
How much do you love me?
Charlie, have you seen snow before this?
This is my first time ever.
Sir, the dog came running behind the ambulance
He transformed my life
Uncle, why don't you ever smile
Charlie...
This is my dog.
Brother, please come with us
You carry on. I don't want to come.
I have quit smoking.
Dharma sir has changed so much!
Charlie...
Are you in love with Charlie?
The way a dog sleeps, reveals a lot about its feelings
She trusts you a lot
A performance to remember out here
Let's give it up for Dharma & Charlie and that beautiful love they share
The tale of Dharmaraj in Kaliyug
[Cries uncontrollably]
I can't handle this pain...
[Indistinct cry]
[Puppy crying]
Charlie knew I'd not be able to live without her.
That's why she left me with a little Charlie.
Like I said earlier
If you are lucky, a Charlie will come into your life too.
Only if you are lucky.
[CHARLIE'S ANIMAL RESCUE CENTRE]
[Crowd chattering]
[Crowd cheering]
I realised towards the end that 'the past is always tense, the future perfect.
I opened an Animal Rescue Centre in the loving memory of my Charlie.
Just like Charlie, many homeless souls are waiting for a loving home.
You too can become the Dharmaputra of Kaliyug,
if you choose to keep your heart's door open
Hey.. Charlie
I'll be back soon. Take care of the house
[Snoring]
Your mother was way better than you!
