Rajinikant & Didi: Clash of the Titans

Dealing with Didi

It’s a sunny morning in Chennai and the telephone at 18,

Raghava Veera Avenue

, Poes Garden, rings. Its ‘Mannu’mohan on the line and pleads with Rajini to take care of Mamata Didi and hungs the phone with a ‘Vive la Sonia ji!’

SS (super star): Aah… jujubi matter ma. Kadavule, Didi ya kaapathu pa.

A cup of kaapi from Jillu (Latha maami) and Thalaivar starts scheming; flash; sends an army of Robots to Bengal. The march of robots sends the City of Joy in a tizzy and didi baffled by this Paribartan immediately sets out to namma Chennai….

SS in white churidar kurta with his bald pate shining strides over to greet didi.

SS: Vanakkam didi. Aaaahh Shagotom. Kemon achchen?

Didi: bhalo achchi… apni bangla bolte paren.

SS: Ha ha ha (his TM laugh). matro ekṭi bhasha jotheshṭo noe. Please sit, Jillu Get a cup of chai for Didi. Aahn, in a kullar. Idhu eppadi irukku – ha ha ha

Didi: I’m not here to see your gimmicks. Just now, I put an end to the Red revolution in Bengal and now there is a robot revolution happening. I want to know the reason behind this Paribartan, Rajini ji

SS: didi, adhigama aasaipadra pombalaiyum, adha vida adhigama condition podra koottani thalaivarum nalla vaazhndada saritharam illa. Coming to the point, Mannu called me up to tackle your political gimmicks. I was also okay with it; yaen na aandavan solraan arunachalam mudikkaran… let me tell you something didi – aandavan kettavangalukku neraya kuduppan aana kai vitruvaan. Today maybe Mannu listens to you and the whole UPA dances to your tunes but do you think it will be like dis forever?

Didi: Now, who is Arunachalam? This man is even more baffling.

SS: cool, didi, cool…. I’ll sing a song. Hit song. Why this kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri didi?

Didi: Its Kolaberi.

SS: aaah enaku veri varudhu. Didi, you remind me of Padayappa Neelambari. Marupadiyum solren - adhigama aasaipadra pombalaiyum, adha vida adhigama condition podra koottani thalaivarum nalla vaazhndada saritharam illa. (Throws a walkie-talkie kinda thing on the table) This is to call back the robots army from Bengal. Fone a neenga edutha samaadhanam, naan edutha sandai. Theriyum ila, naan oru thadavai sonna nooru thadavai sonna madhiri.

(in a highly infuriated tone) R’ber Baasha bhai? R’ber the Endhiran climax? If you refuse, the robots will multiply themselves in a pattern and completely take over your City of Joy…. Idhu varaikum Bhayanakam a irunda neenga ini saadhvigama santhama maaranum. Else there will be a sequel to Sivaji: the Boss and you will meet the fate of Suman and that, my didi, will be the climax of your rule.

Didi (Panicked): Thamun! (And agrees to mellow down and mind her work without exerting pressure on anyone incl. Mannu and leaves without even having her dupurer khaabaar)

SS: ha, semma matter ma, inda madhiri yezhu naal seiyyanum!
