I have 2 words for you to tell...
...who have come to watch Kerala Cafe.
Because I have seen this movie before you as a viewer.
You might wonder why 10 Directors are involved...
...in making a single movie.
...or if they are making 10 parts of a movie.
...or if it is made out of 10 stories.
Definitely it is 10 different stories.
...10 fragments of life or
...10 different times of the life.
...10 realizations!
It is woven in a thread and made as a beautiful movie.
It is made from one story to another.
...from there to another.
It is a travel through the stories.
We also will get involved in this movie.
It is a novel theme in the Malayalam film world.
You will enjoy it as a different experience.
I welcome you all to the Kerala Cafe.
The shore which sleeps adored with the moon light.
The shore where the feather of the rainbow fall.
Will I get another birth in this beautiful shore?
...another birth for me?
It is beautiful lyrics by Vayalar!
Will I get another birth in this beautiful shore?
That is the real poem... That is the poet!
Memories! This song brings back the memories!
The village where I was born... my house.
The first love... Very charming(Ramaniam)!
- What? -It is charming... the village nature has created.
Sheela! Come and sit here.
You have reached only at the first love!
Call me when my number comes! I'll come then!
Children are watching the TV! The things are not packed yet.
Tell me when you need the food. I'll get ready for you.
- When is the morning flight? - I have to report at eight!
The night before I go to my village I wouldn't get any sleep.
I promise on my mom!
It is a parole I get for a few days after being in the desert.
Suresh! Aren't we the prisoners?
The rich prisoners!
Being the prisoners in jail we get enough wealth.
When one day we get freedom...
...the pages in our life would have finished.
Here is your call.
Wait a minute...
- Johny! - What is it?
- Will you come tomorrow? - Yes I will.
Should I come to the airport?
I am on leave from tomorrow.
No. You can stay at home.
What about my matters?
Let me come there.
- Who was that? - Jose!
He is my old school mate.
We both were the disciples of Thomas master in mathematics!
Sir have taught me very well.
That's why I am able to earn a good living!
He was not able to earn it.
Now he is a bearer in a railway restaurant. Poor guy!
In fact he is a lucky guy.
...he has a house in his village.
The rain of there... and the wind...
...the river fish and the Chembavari rice.
...good toddy and the walk on the path.
It is heavy rain for 2 days without stop.
The road is in a very poor condition. That's why this block.
- Rain! There is no planning! - For the rain?
No for the rain. but for the people over here.
...and for the government.
Look at the road!
Most of the vehicles are to be condemned.
...and the auto rickshaws never seen any where.
They only shout for improvement.
How is it possible?
Sreenivasan! I have arrived.
Let it be tomorrow.
It can be in the house itself.
It is those builders.
It is about the house and ground. It is a good deal.
If the house is demolished, there will be enough ground to build 25 villas.
But there is a problem.
Mom and dad are to be convinced.
I wonder how it has to be...!
I have a flat of about 3000 sq. feet, car and A/C...
...and a lucrative job!
...but there is no peace of mind.
Dad and mom are alone in this large house.
I am about 15000 km far away.
How long will I be without sleep?
Ask her. Isn't it?
I was thinking!
Sally and her younger daughter only are there in Kozhancherry, right?
She was very happy when I told this to her.
Among dad's sisters' children...
...she is the only one who has the love for the family!
She didn't allow me to talk further.
She told me that she will take care of dad and mom.
Does it mean that she would come and stay here?
No that. You have to go there.
It will be helpful for her.
I would send the money for the expenses.
Why is it for? She has got enough money.
- People are around for any help is needed. - Keep quiet.
I will stamp you down.
Damn her comments.
They are about to build villas by demolishing the house.
Do you know anything about that?
Our house and ground are in his name!
If his plan is to build a resort or villa...
...that can be after our death. No need of that.
My son! Do a thing.
Let the villas soar up.
You don't bother Sally in Kozhancherry.
You don't take any risk. I've some plan for me.
There is a house and it could be of Mar Thoma people of Kottayam.
We get good food there.
People are there to take care.
There will be many people of our age.
We could spend time talking with them.
You mean home for the aged?
People tell different names.
Those people are like us only.
They too would have children and problems in life.
We can live there together exchanging our woes.
- What did he tell? - What could he tell?
He visualizes things very much before me.
Dad!
What can I do dad? You know it well.
I know everything dear.
We have no enmity or disregard for any one.
You don't have to get worried.
We are to be vacated from here which could understand.
But we don't understand why these are to be admitted in the convent.
There are justifications for Johny for everything.
What about the job I told you?
I have learned the computer to some extent.
I have driving license too.
You know it.
The house which was mortgaged for Moliyamma's treatment has not retrieved.
They will confiscate it if we didn't pay 3 lakhs.
I believe that you can do something about that.
I will give you the salary I get there for my job every month.
- I will pay you back my loan at the earliest. - Ok! I can take care of that.
Let us finish the matter of the house first.
I will take care of that later.
The builders will come tomorrow morning.
You have to be here then.
- He is our MD. Mr. Sreekumar Pillai. - We have talked over the phone.
- Take your sit! - How is there in Middle East?
Does it affect your business?
You can't tell no. But Dubai will survive.
- We get the support of other emirates! - The tourist sector is strong!
Take that check. We shouldn't waste his time.
Will you be in your home for long?
No. I am on a short trip.
Will you sign in this paper too?
Dad! There is a guest.
He is waiting at the gate.
His name is Thomas sir!
You go and meet him.
Tell him I am in a meeting.
Can I call him inside? He is a poor guy.
Do what I tell you.
Tell him I would come to his house.
His younger daughter's marriage is this month.
He has come for the fund. I can as well give him the money.
But I will deduct it from what I give you.
The girls at this age should live with their parents, right?
They are to get married later and settle down in another place.
Children are growing day by day.
I have no belief in our place.
You didn't say that you have no belief in the children.
Mother is looking for you. You too have to sign the papers! Go.
Didn't I tell you everything in the car when we came? Why do you cry now?
Dad and mom will come during the vacation.
We together will go to Holiday Inn!
You could as well fly to there some time.
Give me kiss on my cheek!
Sheela! We have two daughters!
I only have thought of their future.
I want to educate them well! Get them married in a high place.
That's why I am struggling to make money.
...not to take that with me, when I die.
Johny! Give me some time.
I want to cry alone.
Will you return tomorrow it self?
I want to...
Keep it with you.
My problems cannot be solved with this.
I want a job badly.
And I told you about my commitment! That 3 lakhs...
There is no time limit left.
- Do you have a bank account? - Yes.
- Give me the account number. - I don't remember that.
I can't keep in memory the numbers as before.
Shall I go home and get it?
Not now. You just have to call me and tell.
I will go there and send by RTCGS.
What is RTCGS...?
- It is a code used to transfer to the bank. I will send it. - To here?
Jesus! It is a great help from you!
I wouldn't forget till my death.
What is this, man?
I should have to report at least 2 hours ago.
How can it be? Damn road and traffic!
Is the Smart City coming over here?
I doubt it very much.
In Tamil Nadu many car companies have opened their factories.
Here even a cycle company is not willing to open the factory.
There is no planning for anything.
- Why come so late...? - Stop it.
Why come so late...!
- What is coming? - What is your name, sir?
It could be anything.
You can call him Johny kutty, Sivan kutty, or Abdulla kutty.
You could call him what you feel.
Sir have only one religion and one caste!
The flower has blossomed.
What is it? Have you returned from the airport?
That is the fate dear!
It is not possible to enjoy the native place fully.
When will this rat race ends up?
City! City! It is an ocean!
It is an ocean.
You have to come and merge in that.
We have to earn a living!
The frogs which used to cry...
It gets cut before it reaches there.
I am eager to love her.
He doesn't take it.
I will come back...
- Do you want soda or water? - Soda is enough.
Then you have to go out and buy. It is not here.
NOSTALGIA.
Jesus, Frankenstein, Mangalassery Neelakandan.
These were the 3 heroes for that boy.
Restless heroes.
Beyond their war fields
...leaving the rural paths of mischief of a young boy...
...sitting in the window of an arts school...
...of a harbor city over a weak sandy foundation...
...the gasping ends today after drawing with the coal pencil.
Today my book gets published after readying up...
...my experience of seven years.
ISLAND EXPRESS
Om! It is him who is calling.
It is the day when I was saved from the dust and mud.
...my friend who wouldn't leave me.
I want to go back to that rural path... with her.
- Do you have liquor? - Don't worry!
There is no need to go to your grand father's liquor shop.
You can drink it from this now.
What is this?
It is your favorite.
Drink it without spilling it.
Where are you going this time?
To Kerala.
Damn you. With this attire to Kerala?
You will get frock in Kerala too.
I will buy you one.
Don't bother me time and again. Come and get into the vehicle.
Very nice! Come let's go.
You sleep! Bus will come very late.
I'm sorry mom. I didn't know.
Getting a sleep is a virtue.
- Why didn't you wake me up? - It is me who told no.
Banana fruit. Eat it.
Sunil sir calls it as banana republic, which is right.
What could be there, to agonize us at this moment?
Sorrow comes from the past memories...
...or future thoughts or else where.
If so, there was no need for the military men.
For a forth coming war which make you to suffer...
...and make your relatives cry!
I am learning Malayalam.
- Sister used to tell me to learn something good! - Nani madam.
No one need to come in search of me.
I told everything before I came.
We couldn't see you in the temple.
Giri told me then that you are sitting in the bus station.
Where are you going with your ailing leg?
If I need your permission to go to my husband...
...I will cut off my leg and put in the oven.
Don't talk. Go...
Without acting as a big officer.
No use of telling to you.
- Did you get out of your house after quarrelling? - Is that a home, son?
My name is Vishal Krishna.
In the dormitory of the Sinas Corps...
...I spent my time crying in the bed thinking about
...my mom and grandma and I got them back.
I was about to go to Vallikkavu and I happened...
...to travel with them for a whole day.
Leela sister! Isn't she there?
- Where are you going brother? - Go away.
It is said that there is no suspicion in Mike's death.
The students in my school say that he has not died.
Master!
Aunt has told many times not to come to this room.
They went back to Konni.
Grandpa have severe fever.
I powdered 2 pills and put it in the rice gruel. He will go to sleep.
He will get up only late tomorrow
Didn't you write anything new in the weekend?
I have told my friends that you used to write poems.
- I am going out. - Is it for a movie?
Will you take me too?
Not for a movie.
You are telling lie. I know you are cheating me.
Not for any movie.
But I will tell a film story when I come back.
I don't want that. Tell me that you couldn't able to take me.
I'm not cheating you.
I want to go today itself. Are you coming with me?
Are you going in the car?
I wouldn't come in the bus.
Aren't there any friends in your class having car?
Tell them.
Why do you bother about that?
Why should I bother?
Switch off the mobile phone when you come here.
Let it be there.
You won't get it if your wife calls you.
This is a very cruel case.
Didn't you hear the loud noise?
It is a nice shot!
I will also come just for 5 days.
Golty babes will come to my stadium.
By saying that I love you, marry me etc.,
Let it be. I will also join them.
I will fix a fee to touch you once.
It is enough if they are helpful.
Only touching is allowed.
You could ask 1000.Rs for a kiss.
You sold your lover and bought beedies(smoke).
Cycle queen! You will be a good model in Kerala.
Where will be you in coming July?
I have net practice till July 2nd week.
There is no way to come out of that.
Let me ask Anandan or Nirmala.
What will you bring when you come back?
What do you want?
I have seen better girls than her.
With her and alone.
But I didn't get a right match so far.
...in the excitement of the matches.
...in the excitement of betting!
I wouldn't go anywhere.
From the noise of the engine room...
...in the single room as a bogie...
...21 years have passed by.
I'm going there... to her.
...with the red night dress which she likes very much.
- Do you feel hungry? - No.
Do you think that people will come there as you expect?
I am sure. They have written to me.
This book is for them.
For every one of them.
Dear people. I know most of you.
Within 6 months I have talked to many of you. I have seen you.
I want to thank the technology and God...
...for getting together with you in this moment.
...for reducing the gap from people to people.
In the islands which led the life to death...
...take asylum in our most dear people.
21 years ago, on July 8th...
...it was raining heavy.
...in a night which was in between the life and truth of life.
The night without any aversion...
...when God take our life, without allowing...
...to take money from the dead.
Cold, non stopping rain and crying has made me silent.
In my eyes there is a face of a mother without a leg.
She has written once later.
When the grand children, son's children died and the day of the memory...
...to touch and know her.
THE ACCIDENT WHICH SHOOK KERALA.
That night...
That woman traveled back in the tracks of the life. Every one.
The hair which get parted from the head...
...without loosing my grip on him my friends pushed me to the earth.
It is the book which was committed for his life.
I fixed a price for it and wanted to sell it before the world.
I can't be without coming here.
I can't be without remembering my dad and mom and brother...
...who have left me this day.
Do you know who he is?
He was driving the train that day.
This evening which is in between sun light and shadow...
...in the golden breeze...
...I wish my dear ones would come here.
A moment... A minute...
...by kissing our forehead, and calling our names once...
...for the memory of more than hundred lives...
...and those before me who are forced to live only on the memories!
...and for the Island express which passes through this way.
I submit this picture story to them!
We return today after doing the duties asked to do.
My mind was full of sorrow for the death of the doctor.
When we came back a madam who made acquaintance...
...with me shared the sorrow.
She taught me how I should go ahead without...
...hesitation before death.
When I was sitting in the Kerala Cafe...
...I realized that India's strength is in women's minds.
In the mothers' minds which pray for their children!
See you again sir. Jai Hind. ISLAND EXPRESS.
He was a nice man.
I have seen him only with his driver.
What makes him to go alone?
His time is near. That's why.
- Was he drunk? - It was not much.
That road is filled with traffic with lorries from Tamil Nadu.
They are lucky those have no wife and children.
Or else their condition will be like this.
LALITHAM HIRAN MAYAM [The story of two women]
He used to advise us not to drink and drive. What has really happened?
Are there any problems between you?
No. Nothing could say now. I will call you back.
Vehicle was on the wrong side.
- My book is missing mom. - What is this? Go and get ready.
Go.
- Don't waste time. Come fast. - I will... Mom!
The bus will come now.
- It's getting late. - I'm ready.
Dad! My kisses!
Mom!
Bye mom!
Swamiji will tell often.
...that living in present tense is difficult for us.
...you think about office, when at home.
...think about home when at office.
You can't enjoy life that way.
Bank auditing starts today.
Manager will get annoyed if I go late.
It is our income. You have to think about the internal problem of the leftist.
You don't bother about that.
Rameshettan! You go, have bath and get ready.
What's wrong with you?
Are you not well?
You have no fever. What then?
Do you have any head ache?
...or do you have chest pain again?
Don't get tense. Tell me the matter.
You are not going any where today.
What swamiji told is right.
Our problem is not able to live in present tense.
But the conditions we are coping with!
We will be done with.
Even without our knowledge. It is like a cobweb.
One starts talking doctrine when in trouble.
Swamiji tells to take more care about them.
What is your problem?
Is it the same problem as before?
...when you became a witness to take a loan.
- No. - What is the problem then?
You can tell me whatever it is.
Am I only a wife for you if I am right?
Am I not a friend too?
I am in love with a girl.
I met her in a function.
Our meeting was very formal.
I should have stopped at that.
If I hadn't tell you about this any more...
...it is a cheating myself.
Lalitha! I need a solution.
A solution which does not hurt you both.
What is her name?
Is she younger than me?
You haven't told anything.
Are you still standing there?
You know what I am thinking now?
I have a tiny kid who has born.
He goes out and does mischief.
He comes home and tells me that.
What shall I do then?
What shall I do?
I will forgive. I have forgiven you.
I forgave Ramesh the little boy.
I tried to give up at every stage of our relationship.
Rameshettan didn't agree with that.
I was very much in love with you.
I love you even now.
I love Lalitha.
Leaving her for your sake...!
She is the maiden girl in my life.
She is my daughter's mother.
How could I discard her?
I wouldn't never be peaceful in my life.
You can discard me then.
You can bring your Hiran Mayi here.
You can stay here in this house.
- Lalitha that is... - Rameshettan! I am your wife.
I am your friend too.
But you have forgotten one thing.
I am a girl... a noble girl.
Have you ever thought about my position as long as I am your wife?
I can manage the emotional liability behind this...
It is Lalitha or me.
Only one of us could be your wife in your life any more.
It was not deliberate.
It was not because I disliked you.
It has just happened... without my knowledge.
Now I realize. When I am lying here...!
You have a daughter, a job...
...and relatives.
But...
Mayi! She has nobody!
If anything happen to me,
You have to be there for her.
It is my request.
How is he now?
Why did you want to see me? Tell me.
You are the one who took away my Ramesh.
You have defeated me... and left me alone.
What are you going to do with his baby...
...in your womb?
Will you bring her up... or kill her?
What would you do if you were in my place?
Will you bring her up or kill her?
I will do what you say.
Tell me. What shall I do?
Should I bring her up or kill her?
- I am in the station. - Is the train at the right time?
I think it will reach there at 7 or 7:30.
How is your daughter?
She is fast asleep.
My daughter and me will be in the station. We want to see your kid.
LALITHAM HIRAN MAYAM. Take anything.
It is sitting on top of us or bottom.
Nobody has to know about this.
Understood?
Nuts, tapioca curry, beef omelet.
Have you become a little fat?
- The blood is yours, right? - Only half.
But for case investigation, you want my mom's permission.
Is our dad and your mom fine?
They are quite happy.
I want a coffee... Ordinary one!
What do you want?
Doesn't your mom stay in Ottappalam?
A coffee is enough here.
Do you want kappuchina from Kerala cafe?
This is the hill which received the wrath of the house holds of the entire land!
He is Thirumeni who have the Panneri house hold with him.
He is spotted in our IB ladder.
He is the Valluvanadan Thirumeni.
He have connection with the magicians of Tunisia...
...and the voodoo practitioners of Kasak!
Our doubts were cleared when he 2 months ago in Panneri house hold...
MRITHYUNJAYAM [Victory over death]
Thirumeni!
He is in prayer room
- Ok, I'll wait here. - Ok.
Are you Thirumeni's daughter?
No, I am his grand daughter.
Are you living here?
I asked you if I could marry you.
Who are you?
What do you want?
Greetings Thirumeni.
We are from The Times.
Home minister called me from his office...
Let's sit and talk.
As people say I didn't acquire the place I inherited.
I'll give you the key.
But, before you get the key of the house hold...
...you should know some matters.
It is not a place for human to entry.
The place is filled with troubles and evil spirits.
This place is meant for that.
Share the experience by staying in the mysterious place like these.
That is our program.
We had been to many places in India like this...
As you said about the dangers whatever...
...it will only help me.
Many courageous people had been to this place.
Do you know about the history of this house?
Danger for the human has also happened here.
A person who came saying as a heir to this land was dead, right?
At night there will be signs of danger!
Can any science explain about this...
...mystery which happens here?
No.
This is not a place like others.
I know that Thirumeni.
I have collected the entire details what I got.
This is the house hold which got the wrath of the house holds of the entire land!
The souls which die anywhere are been kept here.
After receiving the sins, Panneri house's generation has perished.
You should allow us to stay there for one night.
It is the time for evening prayer.
I didn't understand, how much I tried.
Without having any acquaintance with a girl...
...asking her to marry you.
You don't know.
How do you know?
No entry for ladies and people of other religion.
Today, when I asked you if I could marry me...
Dear!
- Go. - Dear!
Go, please!
I am going to the house hold. There is some danger
That is not a right place for you.
At this time...?
It is nothing.
Grandpa should trust me for now.
There won't be any danger happened there.
Whatever it be, let it dawn.
I never had a good sleep like this in my life.
I slept off when I was here yesterday.
I don't feel like leaving this place.
There is a strange thing here. Come.
MRITHYUNJAYAM.
Science says that he was choked to death between 8 and 8.30.
But she says that he was with her between 10 and 10.30 pm.
What is the reason why you couldn't tell this on the phone and mail?
The person who got killed is my chief's son in IB.
So I needed your faith and help there.
Murali uncle has organized everything.
You are very smart.
But in the heritage house in Ottappalam...
Is it the horror writer Lisher who comes in search of a subject for his new novel?
It's enough if the coat is removed.
It is time for the train to Kozhikode to come.
Where are you?
Are you going to travel by bus?
I've come to the station to see you.
...to know about what happened to the claim...
Ok.
I'll call you on Monday.
HAPPY JOURNEY. It would be good, if I had gone in the bus to catch him.
There is a time for every journey.
Let it be the bus or train, it should run as per that.
Jk! What is the news today?
Terrorist attack, bomb explosion, resignation of the minister
...then the usual stuff!
...like prostitution, robbery, suicide etc.,
These are the items you serve daily. Keep this paper.
These are not our items!
The ethics of journalism.!
We point out the filthy social activities. That's all.
You mean, we do that?
A little villain is there in everybody.
Omana reduced flesh and looks without charm.
Don't get hurt by commenting them.
You are simply waste.
Women are meant to attract men.
So we have to do our part well.
Look at Sangitha! You are lucky.
I could study them at a single look!
He is an old husband. He is no match for her.
Jk! You don't seem to leave any one.
A little villain is there in everybody.
When are you going to flourish?
When do you comeback?
...- ls it Sunday or Monday? - Sunday!
Whose bag is it? Nobody is around.
- Move it a little. - lf it is any bomb or something?
Whose bag is it?
That bag is mine.
Is it a bomb?
Not the bag, but the owner of it.
19 is the number of my seat.
It is 4 hours and 13 minutes to reach Kozhikkode.
This is the only bus that runs to the time.
I sit in this seat every Friday.
The family is in Kozhikkode.
- Where are you going? - To Kozhikkode!
Saturday and Sunday are holidays for the college.
Dad and mom will be in Kozhikkode.
I have guessed it.
My job helps me to get out the facts.
I could find out what happened at a single look.
...an investigator without a little glamour!
The bag is in the top. I did not allow anyone to touch.
Seat No:19, It is comfortable to sit in this.
This is the best seat in the bus.
- You might have selected it without knowing. - No!
I selected it deliberately.
It looks like a love story.
It is a kind of liberation love story.
Do you mean liberation is going in the bike with a guy by cutting the class?
No!
Why do you have this old mobile?
You could sell it. See this!
It has a good quality.
What is special about this mobile?
You ask too many questions.
Tell me.
What will happen if you press the buttons in your mobile?
I will dial it and will get disconnected.
Something different will happen in this.
Some other kind of disconnection!
- Have you started? - I am in the bus.
I'll call you when I reach there.
You could have spoken to her!
She will keep calling me!
It is her usual practice when I am in a journey.
After this call, everything will change.
To all of us in this bus!
Why? Does anything wrong with this bus?
Nothing is wrong with it.
It is perfect. Engine is in good condition!
...only one entry and exit.
A bus which runs at the correct time!
There are only regular passengers.
...only a few new faces.
No body would suspect of it.
I doubt if you have any plan for you.
Everything has a plan for it.
There is a fate for the 34 passengers in it.
That has linked you with us.
What do you mean by 'us'?
- You...? - Me.
The one who has been selected.
- Who has selected you? - It is you.
...when you have suppressed us...
...when our needs are denied.
...when you've played with our life.
You have selected me then.
But no more. It is time to correct all.
No.
If there is any movement from your side...
...it will happen early when it is required to happen.
How can it happen?
Is it a strange place?
Isn't there any law or ethics here?
No law has protected us.
This bus is full of ordinary people.
Most of them are those who want to spend a happy week end at their homes.
There are a few who wouldn't like to call their wives in the mobile.
It is not like that. She is my wife.
We have two children.
You too are a woman.
You too will have a family.
As a woman it is wrong to think like this.
Death has no partiality for a woman or man.
That fear is making you to tell this.
We don't have anything like that.
Tamil Tigers.
Which group belongs to you?
Naxalites or Jihari?
You wouldn't recognize me...
...but the world will recognize us in future.
No. I won't believe this.
If it was true you wouldn't have told it to me.
If it happen as you said, you too will die, right?
Liberation! That's the aim.
10 minutes time is for a break.
You can have tea if you want.
You don't move from your seat.
My wife is innocent.
She doesn't have any bad habit.
She has many virtues.
If anything happens to me, she wouldn't endure it.
My children...!
Don't cut the line, dear.
I wanted to ask you a thing.
Do you want fish curry or fish fry today?
I...
Why is there a tremor in your voice?
What happened?
- That is... - I will call you later.
There is nobody here, that's why. Mani has come now.
And we bought everything.
You don't get tense.
Where have you reached now?
2 minutes more.
Next stop is Kozhikkode.
Everything will change after this journey.
Death has no partiality for a woman or man. It is a liberation...
Some other kind of disconnection!
I have been selected.
Are you waiting for long, dad?
- Why is your bag so heavy? - All are dirty clothes.
Shall we go?
- To whom are you bidding bye in the bus? - It is a poor uncle.
What bomb did you burst this week?
HAPPY JOURNEY.
A coffee!
AVIRAMAM [Endless]
Baby! Get up will you? Time is six now.
Get up I said. Enough of your sleep.
Get up.
What are you doing? Shouldn't we go?
The train is at 10:20.
We have to be ready at nine. See what is the time.
- I didn't hear it ringing! - That has rung at the correct time.
Have tea and go and take bath.
Tea! It is wonderful!
You will waste enough time if you go to kitchen to make tea.
I know you well. That's why.
- How is the tea? - Bad.
That is... You used to belittle the way I cook things.
Do you know how miserable I feel then?
Don't get annoyed. The tea is very nice.
Do you know when you prepared tea last?
When was it?
It was when I came to see you in the small room where you stayed then.
Do you remember what happened before tea?
You kissed me for the first time which was a dirty kiss.
Go and have bath. It is time.
Go.
Have you taken your bath so fast?
See this? Recession will last longer.
You should think about our situation more seriously!
Ravi's business is in a bad condition right?
How long can we prolong like this?
Have you begun in the morning?
Why don't you understand it when I say it quite often?
IT is a sensitive sector.
It will reflect back the fluctuations which happen in the global economy.
That is temporary.
Haven't you seen this?
There will be a forward thrust in the economic field. Prime minister.
- Do you know him? - Whom? You mean Manmohan Singh?
If so, phone up Mira in your office.
She will feel better if she hears about forward thrust.
She came here yesterday.
She wanted two month salary which is pending.
The message for Ravi.
Your zonal manager of your bank wanted me to meet him.
It could be possible to enhance the credit limit.
- All problems will be solved then. - Is it?
If we get the bank loan, the problems won't be solved.
Instead the commitments will enhance.
6 documents of the house are in the bank.
Then car, consumer loans, credit cards.
At night I don't get any sleep.
I will get a big order from China.
In business a decline is possible. You should not loose confidence.
We have to face it.
If you go away from here with this mood I will feel uneasy then.
You go and prepare the breakfast. I will make ready our children.
We have to go before 9.
We will be in trouble if we get caught in a traffic jam.
Hello! Get up. It is time.
Enough of your sleep. Suju! Get up dear.
Get up, brush your teeth and have tea and get your bath.
Let him go first. I will go next.
You are the elder one. You have to go first.
Let him sleep more.
- Dad only like him. - Don't say that.
You are dad's dear daughter.
Others are after you only.
Let things go on, fast.
Don't waste time sitting in the toilet.
Good girl! Come.
You go to the bath room after sister had finished her bath.
When will we return back after we go?
You can comeback after 2-3 days.
- It is boring without dad. - Oops! Come.
Dad is busy with work, that's why.
Grandpa and grandma are eager to see you.
They used to tell me over phone.
That's why I told you to go there with mom.
- You have to take us somewhere when we return. - Where?
- You told me that you will take us for picnic. - Ok, I will take you to there.
Should I take you for a bath?
You thief! Come.
Go and get ready. You take more time to wear the sari. Go.
Why do you take interest to send me to my home?
I gave promise to your parents that I will bring you there.
I will make it ready. Go.
Jose! We are ready to go.
Will you be there?
Meet TTR and ask him to convert the ticket to A/C.
You send your wife and kids to here. I will see to it and send them in A/C.
You go to the station and see Jose in the Kerala Cafe.
He will deal with the TTR.
No need of that. I can manage it.
It is vacation time. There will be heavy rush.
Jose is very reliable. He will confirm the A/C.
Take care of your food.
- You have to take vegetarian only. - Ok.
You were in bed for 2 weeks due to food poisoning.
- Dad! - What?
I'll call you at night.
Tell me if you've got my text books.
I am going to your school after leaving you.
I will collect the text books before going to my office. Ok?
- Aren't we coming the day after? - No. The day after that.
We can return the day after if needed.
I will call you. I will get it today or tomorrow.
Ok. I will get it there.
I will call you.
Who is it Ravi?
Do you run any private finance?
- What are you telling? - Tell me.
There is nothing as you think.
Is it now that you are discussing things?
To my Devi!
I'm doing wrong to you... first time.
...and the last time.
Setting you and the children aloof.
The escapism of a coward.
There is no other way.
You don't know. My commitments are beyond your imagination.
My fall... everything I have written.
I don't find any other way than this.
You have to forgive me.
Tell kids not to hate me.
You have to love me in your memories.
I'm going as I am not satisfied after loving you.
Dad!
What happened to you?
Did you miss the train?
AVIRAMAM.
SEASON.
OFF SEASON.
Is it so, dear? That was an off-season, right?
It was when roaming in the beach without any work.
I too was like this.
I dress well and roam with the girls.
It was like you.
With boasting and all.
That is... I didn't know the worldly truths.
I came to understand that there is reason for every matter.
I didn't know it earlier.
I will tell you a story.
That is Anthrae and Mary's story.
I got up very late that day.
If I get up and stand, I will feel hungry.
That's why I was lying on one side.
For everything it has got its own time.
What is this Kunjappai? Didn't you get any work?
Tea!
Europe! Italy or France! If not it is Spain.
Or else, it must be Portugese.
I could manage a 100 Euroes!
This is Tsunami. I've not seen one like this in my life.
There is a rope like this.
That's why Chacko sir told me then to study history.
- How much is this Chellakkili? - 200.
I'll give you the money, right?
Poor guy! He seems to be a little eccentric.
Rasak brother, Greetings.
I got a deal after a long time.
I bought her a frock for 200.Rs and food for 560.Rs.
- Tell me an amount including the room rent. - Shall I make it 1800 Rupees?
- A free message along with. - Enough.
Take this box and keep it inside.
Allow them in.
Mistake.
Job?
He asks you if you have any job for him.
I see! So you don't have any job there right?
You have come to Kovalam by air to torture others!
Take the key.
I'll kill him. They came here to torture me.
- Take it. - Take away these beggars.
Oh gosh! It has been a burden for me.
It's a burden.
Any kind of work can be done.
Tell him that, man.
Any work?
I see. So you don't know any work, right?
Ok, I'll give you some work.
You came here for job from Vasco da gama's country, isn't it?
Massage!
You Vasco da Gama's successors!
I'll teach you how to do massage, ok?
I said it already that there is a meaning in everything
Here!
Razak brother! 10 or 20 years ago, my father was a good massager in this Kovalam.
One day when my father massaged a foreigner...
...he didn't like the way of his doing
He hit a hard kick on my father's chest.
My father fell down on the ground.
My father used to tell this to me.
Razak brother! It is said that there is a time for everything
Either it is Kunnapaai or Andheira...
Work or no work, prestige or shame...
It depends on someone else.
These global economic problems will come and go...
But we all are human beings, isn't it?
Come you mynah of my heart.
Offer me little of your sweetness.
Who are you searching in your dear garden?
Come you mynah of my heart.
Offer me little of your sweetness.
Who are you searching in your dear garden?
OFF SEASON
So you don't want tea or coffee, right?
This cumin seed water for 2.
BRIDGE
Don't run. Go slow.
Come.
Come
Dear!
Father is calling you son!
If he asks me about this kitten...
...l'll tell him that you got it from roadside.
Don't hug the kitten.
Go, change your uniform, and eat something.
Don't let dad see it.
Dad is looking at us. Hide it away.
Dear! I heard that there's a rat problem next door in the foreigner's house.
I said it's enough if we leave this kitten there.
The problem will be solved.
Shall I give them this kitten?
- Go away. - Oh gosh!
Rain is coming with thunderbolts...
Leave it and give me.
Grandma! Give me. Leave it.
- Leave it. - You nasty one.
If she falls down from there, your father will scold me
- I've to use it for my study. - Study later. Go inside.
Where does grandma want to take my bag?
Ask it to your father.
He is cheating this blind lady since a long time that he'll show her sea and ship.
That's why she has started to go for it.
Without getting drenched in the rain, why don't you come inside mother?
If anything happens to you, I'll have to take care of you.
Dad! My bag has got wet.
I'll kill grandma.
Mom! Give the bag to her.
This bag is to keep the clothes when we go from here.
We will see that later.
Let me stand straight by then.
Call Dhiwakar.
He will take me.
Oh God!
Go.
I can't stand it.
This is third time I am washing the floor.
Why don't you tell me when you go to toilet?
How long you have to do like this?
Your vision only is affected. You can talk as well.
Brother has died 8 years ago.
I am Manikandan.
- Mani. - What mom?
I feel very hungry.
Why don't you give her food so far?
Don't make me annoyed.
She had food before 10 minutes.
She might have forgotten that. Give porridge to her.
Yes, she forgot that.
If she sees her son she will forget many things.
She is ready to go for an outing getting dressed well.
Stop talking and give porridge to her.
Wait for sometime.
Still I didn't have any food.
No one bothers about that.
I will feed you then.
I know that it will not happen in my life.
So many years have passed.
Then go away. Who has forced you to be here?
You torture me because I have no place to go.
I am here to endure your torture like a dog.
You will suffer with your mom if I leave here.
Why should I suffer?
Be with your mom for a day to know that.
I have taken care of her before I married you.
See, if you go out and yell out, I will hit you.
- Hit me. - Don't talk.
Mani, don't fight with her.
Go, send it out.
I will buy a good kitten later.
Will you throw it out or should I throw that?
- Come. - Leave me.
Leave me.
No!
Sir, he was crying since when you left here.
His throat would get affected by his crying.
He will come and sleep when he gets normal.
Mary, you can go.
Then dad will go to town tomorrow with you, isn't it?
- Will he take me? - Yes, dad said to me like that.
He said that we should not come.
Tomorrow if I take mom I will reach here at night.
Mom, Grandma urinated in bed again.
Tell to your dad.
She has cleaned his shit and urine when he was young.
Son!
Please bring the kitten somehow.
He will be ok only then.
Why do you behave like this?
What happened?
Take it. Try to send it at least now. Go.
You are acting before aunt!
- It is all for a short time only. - Dear Pandi!
INTERMISSION
- Mani, has it finished? - No.
Do you want to have any drink?
BRIDGE

It won't be as towards Bengal.
We have the deputy as our man.
Who is he? He is a new one.
- He came from Pandi bus. - Which town do you belong?
NAGERKOIL
MAKAL [Daughter]
We have reached the station.
You have come at correct time.
What I tell will be final.
You don't know about me.
It is a good thing to pray to God when you start a virtuous thing.
Take it. Why don't you count it?
That's why I said that you don't know about me.
He is her father isn't it?
- Greetings. - Greetings. - Come brother. - You be here.

A permanent income.
You will get salary instead of wages.
Come.
Give it to me also.

Please give me some. I will see and give you.
You have seen it before itself.
That is enough.
I won't give. Go.
You nasty ones! Go to sleep without yelling.
Sleep well you precious pearl.
The cloud have covered the sky. Sleep well.
It is dark now, sleep well.
Sleep well you precious pearl.
Why are you crying?
You told me that we have to remove our sufferings.
That's why I am going.
Yes dear! It is right what you said.
Then you shouldn't cry.
That is... You will go. Isn't it?
I can't bear it.
That's why I am crying.
Mom, if I feel like seeing you I will come running to you.
What mom?
Then me... if you feel like seeing me?
I will come by flying here.
My dear children!
I think they have come.
Come.
Come brother!
- Come sir - Greetings!
Come madam!
Thanks Aju brother.
Don't say thanks to me. You have to say to them.
Then you have to say thanks to God.
God didn't give me a child.
You have only given me.
How can I say thanks to you?
Don't say like that.
My child will be fine. Isn't it?
That is enough for me.
I wanted to adopt this kind of a child.
I feel very happy.
Wait. I will come back.
Brother, do you have money?
- Money? - Only Rs.50.
That is...
She is very beautiful.
What dear? What happened?
If you go with them not only you...
...but your whole family will flourish.
He can go to school.
And he can study and become a big man.
Is it Annamalai?
- Annamalai? - This Selvam is Rajinikanth's fan.
He saw the Annamalai movie 40 times.
That's why he has kept that name for him.
Show your hand. Take it.
You have asked me. But then I had no money.
- What henceforth? - Here, take it.
Henceforth I will get more. Isn't it?
Shall we go dear?
Else we will miss the train.
I will take care of her. As a precious girl!
That is enough for me.
Come.
Sister!
Sister! Take it.
Sleep well, you darling.

It was a day when the rain and snow.
...had covered the hills!
PURAM KAZHCHAGAL [Passing views]
Careful!
Will this bus go to Thrissoor via Malakkuppara dam?
This bus will go via dam. But it won't go to Thrissoor.
Chalakudi. You have to go next bus from there.
- Where are you from? - From Pollachi. - Oh God!
You should have to go via Alathur from there.
Nice road and you will get soon.
This is forest road. It will take more time, this way.
I know that. I have come this way once.
To dam's office.
It is good that you got room with Devakiamma in the quarters.
Else I would feel very bad when you go there.
You don't cry.
I'll take care of your transfer tomorrow through minister's office.
You have to take life with a smile. - Do you want tea?
Malakkuppara!
Get down fast.
Bus will stop here for 5 minutes.
If anybody want to have tea can have it.
Work hard in your life.
Don't depend on others.
Why don't you write a reply to me?
I have no time to write a letter.
You didn't give me transfer request signed.
You don't worry about that.
I got friendly with the people and place.
But how long will you stay here alone in this deserted place?
There are people who stay in this quarters.
Each and every one can live their own life.
That's it.
There are bus services too.

Get into the bus instead of walking around.
- Where? - One Vettulapara.
Ticket there! What will be the height of this place?
How high is it above sea level?
I don't know.
How is the water level this year?
You should have got down and see it.
Start the vehicle instead of stopping somewhere to buy fruits.
How many times you are stopping it?
If you go like this, how can I reach the place?
It stops here for 5 minutes.
- What kind of a guy he is? - 5 minutes!
Get in.
Stop the vehicle when the waterfalls reaches. I want to take a photo.
- Ok, we will stop it. - You have to go by taxi.
This is line bus.
It won't stop at places at random.
Oh! Transport minister is in the bus.
- I didn't see you. - This is good joke.
They have to see these who can't afford the taxi.
Adjust for 2 minutes.
Driver will go fast. Isn't it brother?
- Yes, of course. - Thank you brother.
I will show you when it comes.
Not here. It is yet to come.

It is not the old time.
There is no heroine in that. I also not in that.
He is only there.
The scenes in the eyes, his face...
...looked like a large tear drop.
...along with it was his daughter...
...or son he has lost.
The face never seen before...
...or not possible to see.

My stories... my stories...
They are plenty like an ocean.
My stories... my stories...
They are plenty like an ocean.
Crores of births turn to bubbles.
...and break at the shore of the ocean of stories!
The stories are not to be apprehended.
It seems to be understandable.
...but not the inner message which is filled in this nature.
My stories... my stories...
They are plenty like an ocean.
Stories are these oceans and the mountains.
Stories are those which fade away on the way like leaves.
It burns like sorrow and fades away. When the story gets burned...
...there will be a new story which continues.
...will continue.
My stories... my stories...
They are plenty like an ocean.
In the wayside inn, at that time...
...we get gathered there and separated.
Go on tell the stories profusely.
By telling the stories like that...
Being the stories of the time...
There is no fun in that. The earth is not heavier than stories.
Even the oceans are not heavier than the stories.
My stories... my stories...
They are plenty like an ocean.
