50YEARS AGO
- Paramu? -Yes?
They are coming from the east
Yes
Oh Lord! Save him please!
Please save my Cheruman!
Your highness
Lay him overthere
And nowyou stand away
Poison bite
No doubt at all
Please save my Cheruman, Vaidyar (medicine man)
He went to the Kavu (dense woods) to get firewood
He didn't realize what bit him
I saw him lying unconscious
I know all this But console yourself
Paramu bring me that medicine
Very potent poison Must be a serpent
Symptoms also indicate only this
I am not usually be wrong
It's a Kavu where fierce deities reside
If you had delayed even by half hour you'd have taken a corpse back home
- Now make him drink it - Oh Gods!
Since its quite late, I assumed you won't be returning today
Howwas your journey?
God's blessings were with me Everything went off very well
When the telegram came it mentioned only a fever
But on seeing her, our leaders wife was seriously ill
After treatment she is much better now
I have cautioned her not to break the food regime prescribed
That's good
They paid me remuneration Shall I give it to you?
No! Keep it with you
Thus, the? We launched has reached the ministers cabinet at Trivandrum
Nothing but divine blessings!!!
The minister himself suggested opening a hospital
He assured financial help too
Our state is in dire need of it
I am sure it will soon happen
Anyway since you are back You have one more trip to make
Go to Kozhikode Haji's house
He is on his death bed
What about the work here?
He will see to it After all he has been here long enough
He may not be qualified, but has enough experience
Isn't that the greatest of assets? Isn't it?
Yes
- Anyway don't close up the clinic - So be it
Experience my foot!
I don't want anybody's charity
If I had enough money I too would have begun a clinic
I will do it one day
I also have trained in medicine like them
Don't speak ungrateful words We survived with their generosity
It was not for free I toiled for them, isn't it?
What if I no longer want their generosity?
Once we allow ourselves to be enslaved, it is forever
Grind and prepare medicines toil and sweat, clean wash...
...do as they bid, listen to them rant and rave
I have no intention to continue hereafter
I will not agree to the income going into their pockets alone
I will see that I get my share even if I have to poison them
Doctor?
We were asked to come when the medicine was over
Wait there
This concoction was prepared by the doctor specially for him
Give him one dose once every morning and evening
We are grateful your highness
My dear Cherumu is gone!
Oh my Gods that I worship!
Wake up!
Oh God
Bhaskara!
What happened?
Since it is a murder the police have taken the body for postmortem
Everybody says it was our medicine that was poison
Don't knowwhat to say?
Where is he?
Bhaskara! Where is Paramu?
I will take care of Paramu
I will find him wherever he hides
Who is it?
- Hey! Who are you? - Don't yell, it's me Paramu
The police are looking out for the person who poisoned him
I was afraid you would give a statement against me
Since I work at that clinic, the police suspect me
I am going on a long journey I felt like seeing you before that
That's why I came
I am scared
If you stay by me, I will help you Take revenge on that medicine man
- Please go now - I will leave
But before that I have to tell you a few things
This is the right time Come
Bhaskara!
You betrayed us, eh?
Bhaskara!
Did you think you could get away after doing it?
You stabbed us in the back, didn't you?
No! Don't!
Times changed as years passed
The Madhathil clinic, the serpents' abode beliefs and superstitions...
...even after 2 generations all remained the same
But revenge took up a newform and a new generation of hatred was born
Look like dolls
Dear Gods, if my boy has done wrong Forgive him for he does it unknowingly
Please protect him oh Serpent Gods
Dilip
You okay?
Don't worry, let him be under observation There will be nothing to be afraid of
I am quite worried Anoop This is the second time
This has happened at home once Same symptoms
Anoop?
Shoukath?
What a surprise!
How come you are here?
I am neuro-surgeon in this hospital
Like you I too traveled all over the world and landed up here
Dad's friend's hospital
Remya is my...
I know We belong to the same town
Dilip had told me about you arriving here
Friendship like waves Waves go clockwise
If the world was round we are destined to meet
Doctor? Dilip'ettan...?
Nothing to worry A detailed check-up is needed
Tomorrow we can shift him to the room Anoop, let's sit inside my cabin
All this is quite common while playing Just a variation in Blood Pressure
Just because I fell after a bout of giddiness does it call for a detailed check-up?
Yes we do I am standing on the neuro side
- How do you feel now? - Just a little weak, that's all
- Don't change the follow up - Okay doctor
Anyway I am happy that observation is among friends circle
A feeling of old campus emotions
Shall we break open a bottle on this occasion?
Don't get too 'feelable' okay?! Try to get some rest
Anoop come with me
I must have a detailed talk with you Shall we go inside?
What did you want to say?
I have lots to tell you But before that let me tell you...Dilip
Dilip?
He will soon be leaving all of us forever
- What the hell?! -Yes he is a dying patient
Dilip's condition can be told to Remya only by you, Anoop...you must tell her
Let this go there
What could be the reason for this paunch?
Dilip'etta?
Is it true that if we play football we will reduce our waistline?
Sure it will But not your waistline
- Then? - Your family members
Only if you get a job your people can fill their stomachs
If you continue playing football they'll starve and stomachs reduce
That's true
- Dilip'etta - What?
- Dilip'etta - What is it da?
You must come to the hospital right away
Why?
Our Thekkenat Vasu'ettan was bitten by a snake at the Serpents Abode
- When? - He went there this morning
Since they could not identify the snake they just killed it and sent it to hospital
You must come immediately
- You carry on - Come let's go
You also come
Whether the snake bites Vasu or vice versa Only the snake that has come here
Where is Vasu?
What's all this yelling about
Ask them madam?
Have you come to visit a patient?
- Yes Shirly - Vishwambhara!
I did see the missed call Vishwambhara!
Disconnect immediately That contraption is forever in your ears
Okay doctor, I cut the call
- Are you drunk? - No doctor, I have not
What is that alcohol stink then?
Oh that smell is because my friend called from the toddy shop
Here smell it
Shut up What do these people want?
That is the confusion here
Instead of bringing Vasu'ettan bitten by the snake
They have brought the dead snake that bit him
Who bit whom?
Didn't you hear the news doctor? It was from your house premises it occurred
From our place?
Where is the person?
See didn't you lose your temper now? This is exactly what I have been saying
Remya, where is Vasu'ettan? I came to know while playing
- Must be lying in some block - Block?
Yes! Some traffic block The snake is here but not the victim
Anyway get things ready fast Everything must be ready by the time he's here
Okay, doctor
Ramesh, don't go for duty today
We have a small vacating ritual to do at the Serpent Abode
- Do we really have to? - Yes we do
Wait here I'll attend to the case and then come
Quickly
Okay make him lie down
Quickly The snake is waiting there
Okay now start pushing Please be careful, don't trip
- Is the block over - Of course, it will right away
- What was it that bit me? - Afew agents of insurance
Hey even the snake wasn't so arrogant Brother, please lie there quietly
Or I will bite you You won't be alive anymore then
And if I bite you after 6 in the evening
Even the medical trust hospital will not admit you
That's how potent is the drink I take
Vasu'etta Take deep breaths
- How do you feel now? - It is paining doctor
Why did you go to that Abode Don't you know the situation there?
I usually go looking for fire wood
Well we performed a cleansing ritual because of you
Why bother with such things?
Don't talk too much Lie down quietly,
Nothing to be worried about
You can continue with this Okay
See you
Vishwambhara, tell me
What snake bit me yesterday?
The snake is dead and you are better
Why are you so intent on knowing what snake bit you?
If you really want to know it was the king cobra's brother-in-law Sura
Brother! Brother?! We have reached the place
- Have we reached the bar? - We have reached the hospital
Hospital?! Why didn't you tell me?
- But I did tell you - Okay here, keep the change
Are you mocking me? 20 bucks after running 10km?
What is this pittance like alms
Keep it, after all we meet at the bar every day
Brother, I stopped drinking You will leave only after you pay me
I can only if I have money Look, take it if you can
Then why did you ask me? Is this a charity vehicle?
I don't want to know about it
I am no cheap guy
I will soon file for divorce
I am victim of a nerve disease she suffers from
And now I have sold my kidney to booze
If you can wait here, I will sell my heart
And go to Aiswarya bar and die drinking
I will settle your account there
Let me go find out what I'll get for my heart
Nurse?
- Did you see Cicily? - She's in the lab
In the lab? Who else is there?
- That Vishwambharan is there - Goodness! Oh God!
Whetherthe thorn is upon the leaf or vice versa
It is the leaf that suffers... she'll be the death of me!
He wants to chit chat with my wife eh? Today he will see my true colors
So hows things?
When he goes to sleep just give me a missed call okay?
I am scared
Why should you be? Am I not by you, you little minx
Just talked about missed call and here comes one
Who is this familiar number? Oh it must be Narayanan'chettan
I have owe him interest, He's calling me from an unknown number
- He does not know my skills - Who is it?
Don't worry, it's a very familiar number
I know you, give it to me
You are calling Susheela and Beena behind my back eh?
Let me see who it is
- Hey! It does look familiar - No
- Hello...you woman! - It's a man
Who are you man?
- It's me woman! - Hey! Look there
Oh God! Periera brother!
Christopher Periera
Brother? You here?
You just popped in so suddenly Just like messages in the inbox
Cicily was just talking about you
-About what? -Your boozing
-You! Weren't you 2 scheming to do me in? - Were we?
I wouldn't be surprised at all
I came here to see how you were seducing my wife
I want to know how dare you...
I paid my mobile bill after selling off my kidney
Oh is your kidney worth that much?
It will fetch me some more
Tell me you mongrel what was the discussion?
Brother, the course of blood in blood relations
As male nurse I was discussing with the head nurse
...the topic of nerves, that's all
Has he gone?
In short disease of nerves, eh?
Two nerves together will be great isn't it?
I have come here after applying for a divorce petition
- Goodness! - You can have this witch for yourself
- I can sell my heart and drink - Oh my goodness!
Where has he gone?
-Will you really divorce me? - Yes I will
- Really -Yes, yes! Yes!
Look here!
- I won't be able to give you after that - Then give it to me now
Okay then take it I have been wanting to do this for long
Lie here itself I will have to treat you myself
The venom is quite strong It will be a miracle if he recovers
I sawthe snake
This is the nth time
This is enough for townsfolk to create an issue now
You can start the saline drips Call me if any developments occur
- I will be back in a while - Where are you going?
I will explain when I get back
This place is full of snakes eh? I will set it right pronto!
Look Psharody uncle is coming
- Dilip'etta look Psharody uncle is coming - Don't mind him just clear the jungle
Don't!
My boy, what are you doing It is a divine place
Don't worry Psharody'etta This is just a menace to the townsfolk
I know no one will come to help me That's why I brought these guys to do this
That Vasu'ettan's condition is serious
You don't have to be so hasty I knowyou are a non-believer
But we could have at least performed rituals
...and relocated them to Mannarshala (Sacred temple for snakes)
This place is already teeming with problems
This is a town which has a temple even for spiders in the name of God
If such blind beliefs are not done away
It is our common sense that will be destroyed
Especially, an atheist like me
I knowthis place belongs to you
I am not saying it as Srimangalam's manager
But an older brother who is worldly wise
The Serpent Gods have always come on our calling
Don't angerthem
There is nothing to be worried about Our intentions are purely for good
Anyway since the legal battle over ownership is over
I've been wanting to clear up and build our hospital annexe here
Your annexe idea is quite good but think again if you really want it right there
I am not taking sides
I just don't want to hurt other's religious sentiments
I call this arrogance We use to light a lamp there everyday
God! I Wonderwhat misfortunes will now befall us
Both father and son are united in this matter of religious beliefs
Its not belief that's important Evidences have to be there
That's where Justice Raghava Kaimal scores
Yes your honour! And he is our grand pa
Yes, robot!
See, even my grandchildren know me so well
This is no time to joke
There's no objection to the hospital built there
But placatory rituals have to be performed before that
Whatever advances technology has made there are some truths in such rituals
All said and done, when we use the knife in the operation theatre...
...we automatically send out a prayer to God
People find God when they go in search of luck
I am with Psharody'ettan in this
If you want a place to build an annexe...
...my friend Sivadas's plot is available near the hospital
Let sleeping dogs lie
Brother-in-law speaks wisely I too think that's a better option
I knew when he was reading A T Kovoor books during student days...
...that he would become like this
This is not the first time It was sheer luck Vasu'ettan escaped death
Everybody thinks their beliefs are most important
I feel quite sad that no one thinks about how a life is saved
I am quite sure about my decision
When you start speaking Your words knife through like heart surgery
Was I not right? How many times its happened!
When uncle was fighting that legal battle not a soul was there to help him
Just think I have laid the foundation for a revolution
That Serpent Abode has to go
It's easy to say it But belief is equally same like atheism
You have to consider others' feelings too
Psharody'ettan is really shocked
Remya, don't you know the inconveniences our hospital faces
We have to develop and improve it
It was grandpa's greatest desire
...to build a well-equipped hospital in the village
Even though a link was lost through ages
I really want to keep alive that tradition
That does not mean you have to clear up that divine place
I strongly oppose it
It may even affect the children who in future will be born to us
My decision is not going to change by you or anyone else
I was frankly quite worried about our Vasu'ettan
Ravi'etta, I have decided to go through with clearing the thickets in Serpent Abode
I heard about it Judge sir had called me
I was about to tell you everything
Your plan is good, nowthat Anoop is here, if you take over I can be free
Wonder in what condition that rogue is in
Don't forget his flight is at 11 AM tomorrow
Don't worry, I will be at the airport 2 hours early
Don't you get a feeling of insecurity? Especially when you feel this breeze?
Why do you say that?
People who return to Kerala after a long absence is sure to feel it
This land is not what you had seen Totally changed,
A Malayali will always be a Kolayali (murderer) my boy
You are lucky you got a sponsor like Ravi'ettan
Appears you have trotted all over the world
How did the medical conference go?
As usual
I met our Cherain
He's settled in Delhi practicing neurosurgeon
Who? Our lchayan?
Frankly, during our student days he was more an atheist and revolutionary than you
A pure communist All have gone their ways now
No point in blaming anyone
Times must have dealt its blows to them, right?
The day we met, his baby was to have his first holy communion at church
Really, I am the only one who has remained unchanged
But I did win over one thing
A staunch temple goer your dear most friend is nowwith me
- Who is it? - Wait and see
My home Come dude
I was waiting foryou guys to come before going to the hospital
In fact I was about to make a call
Flight was delayed by an hour
Are you happy?
She has given me no peace after hearing you were coming
She has asked me a hundred times Your flight details and time of arrival
Well, old friends and all that
I am worried now that I'll be in for a postmortem now
What shall we do if you opt to be ripped apart?
Didn't I say so? She has already started using the knife
Good morning
Why are you still out here?
- Howwas your journey? - Oh it was fine
When I see all of you together like this lts indeed a great pleasure
A blessing to have studied together and nowworking together
Hey! Your class mate has arrived
He is our Psharody'ettan
In charge of rituals and divine practices He is Gods own representative on earth
Anyway, glad you reached safely It's the Goddess' blessings
Psharody...please take their luggage
Please come in
Why don't we go in Come my son, please come in
Come Come son
You were always allergic to cleanliness
Why don't you shower once in a while?
Shut up
If it was day time we could have taken a dip and swum in this river
It's not very deep
Have a drink
No thanks
I am not hurrying you You can join the hospital wheneveryou want
Remya finds it difficult to handle everything alone
She wants me also to run around to get things done
-When are you leaving for USA - Nowthat you are here I will decide
My thesis is all ready
There is a surprise waiting for you at the hospital
You'll knowwhen you join tomorrow
Our small enterprise has bagged a treasure in...
...Dr Anoop who is also my classmate and friend
Why I say this is because of the award and accolades he has
...earned in the field of neuro surgery including the lMA
I am extremely happy to him amongst us And I owe this to Ravi'ettan
I hope and wish Anoop's contribution to our hospital will be invaluable
I am winding up Thank you
- That's goodbye to nerve disorders - Shut up, please
Congratulations
Here's your surprise Aren't you happy Maya?
You can thank Raviettan for bringing Anoop here okay?
I knew he would run from here if he knew you were here
That's why I let it remain a suspense
Remya, you can find me in our cabin
You can perform your postmortem among old friends later
There's plenty of time for such stories
That's true
Anoop, best of luck
How can you behave in such a silly manner
Anoop must have felt you deliberately insulted him
The unexpectedness of this meeting I was totally shocked
Maya, the past is over and done with Anoop wants to speak to you
He is a simple soul Go talk to him
Avoiding him is not going to get you anywhere
You guys talk, I'll be at the OP
Please sit
I never expected us to meet again like this
Neither did l
There is a long story And plenty between us to be sorted
I will be seeing you
Details of staff of the neuro department
- May I come in sir? -Yes
Greetings sir
He is Vishwabaran, male nurse More than that he is a good friend
Good morning sir
Vishwambaran, you are in charge of Dr Anoop's comforts
Accommodation has been arranged at the guest house isn't it?
Dilip sir has instructed me on everything
I will ensure the doctor lacks nothing here
I stay next door
If you ever need anything just a missed call, I will come flying
He doesn't need a missed call A mobile will ensure he'll be there
Oh great!!
Mobile phones are a weakness with him I will tell you more tales later
He has just come Do you have to fill his inbox so fast?
- May I come in sir? -Yes
Vishwam you can leave
The patient Bhaskaran in can be discharged right?
Oh yes!
Meet Dr Ramesh, he is the cardio specialist here
He is a Forward in Dilip's football team too
Nice to meet you
Dilip'ettan has a surgery today 3 of us could have gone out for a spin
Anyway, do you like our town?
I last came to Kerala when the Rev Father of the orphanage died
You have changed totally Clear pathetic line
Pity you didn't come for our wedding
I was busy and traveling a lot
How long since Maya came here?
Like you amidst higher studies and travel Got to meet her a couple of times
I was keen for her to work here Feelings are still alive
You are the one still in her heart
I understood the vibes between you I even cleared it as our college days ended
I wanted to surprise her too about your arrival
Did you meet Santosh after that anytime?
Sorry!
I am trying to forget that episode in college Anoop
"Lets hum a song together, a dance in unison"
"Sing and dance like mind and bodies were one"
"Those were the days we frolicked like deer"
"A smile was enough to tickle a thrill in hearts"
"As love filled the air and the lamp of enlightenment arose"
"Come join us and share them on these lovely shores"
"Moments when a melodious tune is hummed Let not desires and hopes be hidden"
"As pipes and drums strike up music so cheery"
"A rhythm born within lips so sweet and dreamy"
"As stars twinkled all on its own It was fun and celebration time now"
"Now on this dais of blossoms so fine Like the moonlight not yet out to shine"
"Rainbow across the sky in splendour Colors so vivid, sweet like a drop of honey"
"As pipes and drums strike up music so cheery"
"A rhythm born within lips so sweet and dreamy"
"As stars twinkled all on its own"
"lt was fun and celebration time now"
"Those were the days we frolicked like deer"
"A smile was enough to tickle a thrill in hearts"
Why are you all here? Go to your classes
Can you meet me outside? I have to talk to you
Please
I have to tell you something important
I have told plenty of lies
Now I can't any more excuses
My people at home are busy looking out for a bride groom
I want to know your state of mind
What do you know about me Maya?
I am an orphan nobody wants
An orphan who is living off charity doled out by father Kariachan and Ravi sir
There is no place for marriage in my mind now
That's a lie
I know what's on your mind
- You have someone else - Don't be stupid
I am not being stupid If my love is true I will find who it is
You are back so soon?
-Why is your face so dull? -Where is Remya?
She is not in the lab May be she's in the lab
I must see her right now
What happened? Didn't your dad agree?
You guys be here I'll be right back
Remya!
What happened? Why are you looking so awful?
What did your dad say?
I am full of tension Tell me what happened
Dad agreed
But...you are not the girl
Are you scared?
I knowyou won't forsake me for anyone or any reason
We won't be able to go against a decision taken by the elders
You know dads nature
He will destroy what is between us at any cost
That must never happen
I can't lose you
We must become one in every sense Then no one can part us
Don't! All this is a sin before marriage
I want you
Sin is only what we tell ourselves
No! No!
No! Santosh'tta, leave me
Let me go
Remya?!
Hey Santosh!
What the hell are you doing? What's wrong with you?
Why are you crying? You have nowfound out his true nature
He has many faces I know him
I don't understand his change in character
Did he think I was a play toy?
Once I hate someone it is forever!
You have escaped from a trap I have not told this to anyone
Honestly, I am truly relieved now No one should know what happened
Especially Dilip and Maya
I am going to the class I'll meet you this evening
Why are you here?
Nothing
What happened? You face is all screwed up
I want to talk to Anoop
My love is genuine I now knowwho is in your heart
You are cheap
Yes, I am indeed cheap
You hit me
Why did you act like you loved me?
Tell me...why?
You know me well, don't you? Then why did you...?
Afew days later
October 12th The last exam just got over
Like a bus journey, my friends who belonged to different places
Everybody is going their own ways
When I see Remya's face Her pain disturbs me also
She was meant only to be loved A soft and gentle soul
I could not phantom what was happening around me
But I was definite that I also...
Yes, come in
How is your stay here?
Only the judge used to come here occasionally and that too only to booze
Doesn't it have a haunted look?
- What is this? - Your dinner
You shouldn't have
That's out of question Dilip sir has instructed me particularly
So you just have to tell me the time you want it
I've been ordered to see that you lack nothing
I am not habituated to anything My food habits are simple
If you don't eat it will affect your nerves
Should I be the one to tell you all this?
Now get up
Go
Will I not do this much for you?
I have a doubt
Continuous phone use affects not only the ear drum but also the nerves
Whenever I see a phone anywhere my nerves start reacting
Heart beats increase and high pressure develops
You must consult Dilip lncreased heart beat is not very good
If I consult him on this I won't have a heart with me sir
I have a medicine to make you over come such tensions, want some?
I have heard it makes the nerves weak
Once I start, the powers of my innermost self, awakens
And if I don't get a phone I will go insane
But that's not what I want to know
When Dilip sir downs a few drinks his football prowess just shoots up
I have never seen a more energetic person than him
Pass it here
Not so high
Pass it to me
What are you playing?
It was a good game
Sajiv you must be more alert
Rafi bye
You should have joined us It would have been a warm-up
I am not in a mood for this
This is exactly your problem
Football is not just a game with physical strain you know it
It's the spirit with team work too We forget ourselves for those 90 minutes
Look, they are my energy makers
Meet Dr Anoop
Hi I am Naushad I am Sajiv
- My name is Rafi - I am Achayan
I am Sunil
Dilip sir had told us of your arrival
We also know you played well in those days
I don't play these days
He used to, now he is bone lazy
Well we should be going
Okay
- Let's go - Okay friends
What do you think of my friends and this place?
Good
Don't plan anything for tomorrow There's a function I am inviting you to
It is to be a surprise
So the food arrangements are ok, eh?
Then okay
What is it bro?
Oh it was you
Look at the time When will it start?
Don't hurry Look there
- My wife is alone at home - Is that so?
- Let me go - I would have gone there
"My little Koel bird coquettish and sweet I saw you glance this way my dear"
"Lips that glisten with smiles like flowers A deep desire to lean on the chest"
"Lovely girl with a sweet face, as I sit dreaming of you"
"You appear beside me like the spring season so fresh"
"As I lay upon a mat of flowers and close my eyes"
"You appear beside me, as soon as I think of you"
"You are my tempting goddess Like rain, like a soft thrilling breeze"
"Like a tender shoot, a new ray of light Filled with honeyed sweetness, meltingly"
"My beautiful one, come to me My flower, feed me your love"
"Allow me to be with you, embrace you Let us drink the sweetness of honey my love"
"Oh sweet spotted Koel who kisses the jasmine buds"
"Whisper into my ear your sweet messages of love my dear"
"My little Koel bird coquettish and sweet I saw you glance this way my dear"
"With cadence and pattern of music notes As you sing in pitches so perfect"
"Colors of the rainbow shedding its hues As I wake up to touch softly"
"My love come beside me Like a protector, a shade giver"
"As you gently caress my cheek I shall softly entwine around you"
"Aren't you the flower wearing love on this moonlight of Capricorn"
"Aren't you the sweet droplet that was brought by the breeze of desire"
"My little Koel bird coquettish and sweet I saw you glance this way my dear"
"Lips that glisten with smiles like flowers A deep desire to lean on the chest"
There was an accident at the Serpent Abode
When?
Just now You must come immediately
I am coming
What is it? What happened?
There was an accident at our Serpent Abode
They have taken the victim to our hospital
I'll go see her and come back
You stay here, I'll go I'll call you if necessary
Madam, Dr Dilip met with an accident
Nothing to worry I know nothing is wrong with me
I have decided to go home I have a match next Friday
If I am not there these guys will suffer
What, da?
Are you planning to tie me up here as a patient?
Just two wounds and a slight pain in the leg
Internally I am alright
Without seeing the reports I can say I am perfectly alright
Show me the reports
It's nothing Dilip He just wanted you to rest for 2 days
It's a good thing for administrator to lie in his own hospital
I swear I have reduced my telephone calls
I have a doubt if my eardrums have gone bonkers
Anyway, you are not going home for many days
It's my decision
That's good That way you'll get him to yourself
That's a good idea
Did you note the number of the vehicle that hit you?
Police have filed a case
I was more worried about the accident So I did not notice
This has become a common occurrence there
Last year we experienced it Just barely escaped
Anyway the townsfolk have one more gossip That it was God's wrath
Nowthey can claim it was because the Abode was demolished
Take rest, I have surgery I'll come later
Okay
We were shocked when we heard the news
Don't take this seriously Don't stop practice
- This time we have to win the trophy - What do we fear when you are with us
We shall definitely bring home the trophy this time
Yes!
- I will return after dropping them - Okay
Now what's happened to you? Hey I am alright
I have a strange fear
A foreboding of bad events to happen
I can't allow you to leave me Let's go on a trip
I must open up my mind
AFTER SOME MONTHS
I don't know as much as you do about his back
Yet, it's a doubt I had in scan and detailed check up
Blood test revealed entry of a strange virus
That is interfering with immunity ability
A virus growing which medical science has not seen so far
The incident at the playground was a reaction to it
Gradually that virus will weaken the nerves and brain
After that he'll be bed ridden for a few days
Physical weakness and it result in sudden death
Baffling even forensic science It's a well planned murder
We need to know 2 things Virus entry and its path
This virus has been deliberately injected into him
Why? How?
- I can't believe this Shoukath - We have to find out
You can do it I am with you
What happened to you my son?
Hey! So you have given them the news eh?
Nothing is wrong with me mom I just had a fall while playing, that's all
We were already half dead with worry
When we heard you were in hospital, we just died
Why did you go and play? You never listen to us anyways
A fall is quite natural in a game Especially in game like football
Why do you get upset like this, mom?
Be quiet! Only a mother will knowthe...
You are already going through bad times
Let me go arrange for a hot shower
Why are you standing there? Come in and have lunch with us
No, I am leaving I have something urgent to attend to
Wait!
Remya, drop him at the guest house
We were just about to drop in to visit you
But Remya called and said you were okay
Just a small sprain
A good massage with medicated oil and hot fomentation will set you right
Exactly!
Brother-in-law!
Bro, what happened? Sprain eh?
There are so many other games you could choose to play other than football
Why don't you play chess? You won't have to use your feet
We generally don't use ourfeet to play chess my dear brother-in-law!
At this rate you will sprain your limbs even while playing chess!
His fate!
Don't misinterpret me, these calamities were deliberately brought upon us
Just a lamp lit at the Serpent's Abode will easily solve these problems
We must solve issues we ourselves created
It's not at the Abode, but in our minds that the lamp must be lit
I don't know how to begin
I am unable to hold on any more
The anguish when he comes to know that he is dying...I can't bearto see it
I too am in the same confusion I have arranged for dialysis
My Dilip'ettan is a very simple soul
I have taken some decisions Any day the truth is bound to come out
Before that I have to be thrown out of his heart
Show upon me Your grace, my lord
Why are your eyes filled with tears, Psharody'etta?
I just thought of Lord Krishna's demise
The enlightened and all knowing Lord met his end at the hands of a mere hunter
These are times where we are punished for deeds we never did
I don't want to argue, but when such calamities occur I am terribly scared
This Abode once, used to be the playground of powerful forces
It was that sacred place which you cleared and cleaned up
None has so far escaped from its wrath
I just remembered I want to hear that old story in detail
Of how Madathil medicine men and the Serpents abode were linked
I have heard dad narrate bits of it You knowthe whole history, isn't it?
Why are you so keen now?
May be I do have a valid reason
I will tell you
May I come in?
Yes, come in
What happened to you? I was just thinking of coming to your house
Sit please
What did actually happen?
When I first heard I was worried It was your mom who told us
Your mobile was switched off
My dear Ravi'etta it is a simple case It's a common feature in playgrounds
Just a small variation in BP
I don't understand why it is blown out of proportion
Anyway, why don't you go in for a thorough complete check up?
Not necessary I'm perfectly alright
Okay forget all that I have some happy news
- My VlSA to California is ready - Oh very good!
But only after my personal work is done I will leave
Atight match will soon happen I will get him also into the game
Who is that?
Who else? Our bone lazy intellectual
Where is he?
He's been mood off ever since he came
- Is he not in OP? - No
Then must be on rounds
Anoop!
- Continue the rounds, I'll be back - Okay doctor
There is something important Don't be engaged elsewhere this evening
- What is it? - We have to go out today
Where?
Let it remain in suspense for now
Bye
I was the one who destroyed it Now I feel I must revive and put it back
When hopes in life slips away Anyone will do it, like clutching at straws
From atheism to theism
You are astonished, right?
I found out why I fainted without anyone explaining it
I met Dr Shoukath
Being a doctor, I didn't need a diagnosing process to find out my illness
When Shoukath's reports came, I knew Death... was staring me in the face
You can call it fate, God's punishment
But now I have only one anguish...my Remya
After I go...
Hey! Don't think of such things There will be a way out for everything
What did Shoukath tell you?
I am suffering from an illness that's a big question mark
Totally alien, and without remedy I can only give in to it helplessly
I count my days
Anoop
Remya should never come to know of this meeting
It should continue as a drama like you did with me
If she comes to knowthat I am aware of this She won't be able to bear it
You must give me yourword When I go, Remya will never be alone
Promise me you will stay by her side forever
It's October 12th once again
I was a little shocked to hear him
It was like he was stating a death wish
Remya
I've been wanting to ask you why is there an unusual glow on your face?
It's nothing
Sir? Where is he? Vanished?
Sir don't think it's my booze speaking
Madam is like a goalkeeper on a football ground without a ball
The townsfolk have been proved true What's the use now?
Isn't the ball most important That ball is gone now
I am leaving now
By the way please for God's sake Don't repeat all what I said here
No one has struck a goal neither has the ball gone
Sir, your food is in there I'll collect the containers in the morning
Sir, but I am taking this container
Sir, I have one more request
Can you lend me your phone? to sing a song 'Swaravaraasanam'?
Swaravaraasanam?
Yes to sing to our love birds as a lullaby
Yes If Lord Ayyappa has to listen to the song Hariharasanam...
...my girls have to listen to my lullaby swaravaraasanam
Thank you sir Just 2 call...that means 5 calls
Come here you Sony Eric 'son'
No! Are you mad? I will never aid you in this
Didn't you find any otherway out to make your husband hate you?
So this has been what you wanted all along
You don't know him
I have thought deeply before coming to this decision
Santosh will come I want to meet him
And? For what?
I have already decided everything
I agreed to a marriage which I was not in the least interested
We have only one life It's not meant to be wasted away
When I heard rumors that you went after your old lover...
...I didn't believe it at first Now I am convinced
You are so cheap
I will never allow this As long as I am alive
Anoop's word is final
As business tycoon who travels all over the world
...any special information about this Kerala visit?
We will discuss it later
We hear the opposition is talking against you regarding smart city allegations
I have never been part of government underhand dealings
They are just allegations
So what is the purpose of your visit to Kerala?
2 reasons
One to watch the football match at Kochi played by the team I sponsor
Second reason is extremely personal
This time your arrival is highly publicized more than a minister
Exclusive press meet, photo session...Good!
You are a manipulator, a person the media keeps their sharp eyes on
Do you knowl landed here only after dodging so many prying eyes
The journey from a mere medical student...
...to Santosh Varma the business Magnate has not faltered even once
But...it got fouled up only in one place
And that is foot ball Tell me what's going on there
After manipulating the car accident near the Abode...
...I was the one who asked Remya to come to the hospital
My calculations were Remya would come A planned operation
Just like the accident that was arranged...
...the body that reached the hospital was Dilip's
A slight mistake
That venom is inside Dilip now
What do you mean?
It was to tell you these directly I arranged this meeting here
For what?
When the time comes I will let you know
Don't be upset Either way, the gain is only for you
Your grandfather Paramu' s murderer Bhaskaran's granddaughter...
...did not need a third person to inject poison into her
Especially when you have a good back up
That shower bullets like a switching it on
Not only that, you know very well the venom you bought from Anoop spending millions...
...and your intention to use it first of all
...on your ex lover, was yourfirst step in revenge?
I know
Your father Shekharan, also my dear friend...
...with vengeance may have broken up your love with Remya
But another Bhaskaran continues to protect her...Dilip
Look Santosh, your intention is to win the match
Do you think he will be able to play after all that venom is in him?
I know your confusion is regarding Anoop now
I will observe his motivation hereafter
Just wait
You are aware of the target, right? The rest Ravi'ettan will look after
Yes I will do it
Shall we go?
It was almost like in thriller movies
When you said you wanted to see me urgently I was really shocked
I was in Paris when your call came
Tell me, how is Dilip now? What actually happened?
I don't know anything
There are no symptoms that could be traced and diagnosed
Only Anoop and Shoukath know his condition
I am completely down Santosh
Remya please...! Control yourself
God has always been selfish to me
Whatever comes within reach will just go off
Including you
Try to forget the past
I have given you a lot of pain On various issues, parents, family, grudges...
It can't be erased with a sorry
I have made arrangements to go live in the USA
I too need a change Santosh A much needed one
Just hang on for a few more days Let the football match be over
After that we will fly away to the USA
What?! Why are you here
I am nobody to advise you Why are you ruining yourself?
That's my wish Who are you to question me?
Leave me alone... please!
I will go away now
But I am warning you You are destroying yourself
I know all that's happening here
I saw her with my own eyes She was cheating you all along every minute
Her heart is full of that man Santosh
If you don't stop her, you'll lose yourwife
My own life is slipping away I can't stop anyone else now
So finally she has found a means to secure her future
I know she herself has asked him to come here
Now all that I wish is to see our team win the match
I am a poor player who knows everything, eh?
Not bad...the best friend arranges a lonely set up at his own expense
I never ever wanted to come into this privacy
But what to do You forced me to come
Look Anoop
What is happening around you? Why are you disturbed?
Tell me frankly Was the money not enough?
Or is it fear that you will be caught?
I want to knowyour intention for shooting me
Remya
I want her
I won't allow her to belong to anyone else
She's mine...only mine
She was the one who occupied my heart right from our student days
What sort of 'pass' is this?
What is it? What happened to you?
I've been observing you Are you tired?
No Ramesh its nothing You carry on
Any of the old illness...?
I am unable to concentrate That's my problem
If you brood that's what will happen
The match is nearing You are the only positive energy
If you weaken...
I'm okay We have to win this time
The opposite teams are very strong Don't you know?
Yes we do
There is another factor which you guys don't know
Last year winners Bengal team's sponsor...
...was a player with me a few years back in college
He has landed here
This game is also a duel between us
Wonder who this chap is
Nice to meet you I am Santosh Varma
College mate of your team captain
Now a days, sponsor of Bengal team
By the by, how is the practice faring?
I wanted to meet you as soon as I arrived I was very busy
Now I am free
Why don't we go a little away and talk?
After we parted in college if I remember correctly...
...a state match in Munnar and I the captain of the team that always lost
And you, always the captain of the team that won
Finally a state match in Kolkatta
After losing that match I bid goodbye to sports...plenty of traveling
I got all I wanted at my finger tips
But defeated in one area football match
I want to win this match
You have taken away plenty from me using your charms and tricks...
...and that includes Remya
This is my second arrival to get back all I lost
I will get back everything and keep it at my fingertips
Anyway wish you good luck
We'll meet at the arena
I have defeated defeat itself in sports
That word does not feature in my dictionary and you know it very well
A person destined to be defeated will always be defeated...
...till you die
You can come back any number of times...
...but you can't get me at yourfingertip, Santosh Varma
Sure we will meet
What is there to be so stressed about? Let him try to participate first of all
You don't know him He spits venom even if you kill him
Don't worry, every cell in his body Is fighting a losing battle against death
At the most just a few days more After that, it's a closed chapter
I am afraid of only... Anoop If he squeals the truth to them?!
No he will not...he can't
If he does, he will lose Remya forever
What is it my dear son?
Nothing mom
I have been noticing your behavior There is a serious change in it
Tell me the reason, whatever it is
- Here bro, black coffee - I don't want it
I too am seeing the change in brother Tell us the reason whatever it is
It's nothing but the tension of the approaching match is giving him
Both you please pray for me so that I win the match
Tomorrow I am leaving
It's fine that you are playing But I cannot bear the to be stressed again
Nothing will happen You just have to pray for me
What is this son? Are you crying?
No mom, just dust in the eye
Hey! What's your problem?
Be bold man Come on cheer up
Dad, nothing's wrong with me You are just simply...!
Go and play a good game

Is it Dr Remya's residence?
-Yes - Is the Dr in?
No, she is on night duty today
Who is calling?
Anoop! Didn't see you at all today What happened?
Why are you looking at me like that?
I want to speak to you
Sure go ahead
Not here
If you don't mind can we step out?
- I am on duty - Just half an hour...please
Okay
God!
Pray for me
I am quiet astonished What a sudden change!
At least nowyou are doing the right thing
I am very happy
I knewthis all along You will not fail at all now
- Didn't you call Remya? - I did, but her mobile is switched off
I will call her on my way She will reach the stadium somehow
Shall I take leave?
I have a doubt bro-in-law
Your preparations look like you are readying fro the world cup, eh?
It is indeed a world cup I must win this at any cost
Shall we go
Where is Remya?
Come here sir
What is the matter?
I learnt it this morning
Anoop sir has taken away Remya madam from the hospital
We have to save Remya Let us forgo the match
No! The match has to be played You must win, or the defeat will be mine
Go ahead and play
But Dilip'etta...
- I said go, go - Come guys
Sir Remya?
Don't worry, we've found where they are
From none other than...
...Dr Ravi
Come on tell us
You won't be able to get Santosh
Tell us where Santosh is Your underworld don
Tell us what your dealing is with Santosh
Come on tell
Sir move aside please
I will make sing the truth like a parrot
He will not spill it like that
After all he is a faithful student of that teacher
I will make him tell
Anoop and Remya are in Santosh's custody now
There's no time to waste Get up
Get up and go inject this
You wanted your sworn enemy isn't it?
Look there he is
Get up I say Get up
You...!!!
Don't move
Stay there
- Remya - Madam
Remya, this is me
You didn't expect my arrival, right?
You desired to use my own friend to inject venom and kill me
But your plan failed
Look at me, I am here before you as if in second birth
In this game as well as the one to come win is on my finger tips
Look! Close like this
The accident which you and Dr Ravi planned at the Serpents Abode!
Based on a grudge of generations, targeting Remya, but injecting me instead...
...by your accomplice two eyes sent by God were there
Don't you want to know who that angel was?
The gift God gave me Don't you want to know?
Vishwambharan
Sir?
- Ravi sir wants you in his cabin - Go, I will come
Hello doctor?
What are you saying Remya? I can't believe it!
Don't worry I will manage something
Madam, quickly
Look out if someone is coming
That's it They look alike now
Madam, I got it from here
Keep it back there exactly as you found it
Quickly Now come
The venom you thought you injected into me is not there at all, Mr Anoop
I never expected Anoop will act in this manner
What do you think Remya?
He was the simplest of boys in college...
I too did not expect such a move from him
I am unable to figure it out
One thing is clear, he is not alone in this attempt to kill Dilip
Either an accomplice Or more than one
If we have to find that out, you have to put an act for him
We have to discover his motive while pretending not to know anything
Awell planned drama We will create for his benefit
We decided to get Santosh's number from your mobile using Vishwambaran
As per the advice investigating officer and Dr Shoukath we made our moves
Every bait we threw was a trap to get you in our net
The night we found that the friend so dear to us was actually betraying us...
...that night we examined and learned chapter by chapter...just like dolls!
Anoop! Stop
Don't do it
None of you come near me
My love, I compare you to the horse harnessed to the pharaoh's chariot
Your cheeks are more beautiful with those strands of loose hair
You are like the lily amongst thorns
Your eyes are like a pair of doves
Look the rain is gone and winter has faded
Flowers have begun to bloom on earth
I can hear the cooing of doves in love
I can feel it flowing from my heart into my soul
I am sleeping but my heart is awakening
Leave me
Anoop
- What? - Untie her
I said untie her
Remya
Anoop, let her go Please
You are the one who ruined my life
I said let her go
Let go of her
Only those who have the right can scream and scold me
But you destroyed my life My life...mine
Let's go to the vine yard of grapes
And taste the flavour
Can't you feel the fragrance?
You thought I won't find you, eh?
You were always super intelligent Wasn't that why I fell in your trap
But this time this one who is in my trap belongs only to me
That shall be your last avarice in life
Dilip'etta
Remya, come let's go Come, come
No, let me go
Let go of me
You cur! You thought I won't find you eh?
Come here you mongrel
She is still alive
She is alive
- You are not dead eh? - No you...where is Remya
She is gone
Oh God! Look!
Take her out
Hey you! I'll send you where I sent Remya
Come
