Ee Nagaraniki Emaindhi · written by Tharun Bhascker Dhaassyam · 2017
Scene 21 of 130 · ≈ 1 min on screen
Reunited three years after a car crash scattered them into hollow versions of success, four friends stumble into a bachelor-party trip to Goa where making one last short film forces them to confront the heartbreak, cowardice, and unfinished business each of them has been outrunning.
The four friends bicker in a car about whether to make crime thrillers or comedies for views — the fight over what kind of story to tell, which the rest of the film answers.
Karthik's boss tells him "every dog has its day" and later calls him a "great dane" — the film's real theme, that Karthik is chasing someone else's idea of a good dog, is stated here and not understood until the very end.
Kaushik sees his parents and sister off, teasing his young nephew Subash about his spanish exam.
Once his parents leave, Kaushik takes Subash under his wing and gets a call from Karthik about the engagement.
Upendra is bullied by a wedding couple over an impossible VFX request he can't deliver.

Oh ! Every day is not Sunday.
