"Molly Aunty Rocks"
Cant see much crowd here...
Its just a small family function after all...
Shall we start by taking some outside shots, brother?
Let the function finish first, you fool.
Your mind is only on film shooting wherever you go.
Guess Sunnychayen would have been angry by now.
Its time we changed our conventional shooting style.
You should see how others are covering Wedding functions.
'Behind the Scenes' is fetching more cash now.
Going by this, Will they start covering the first night also?
Can't deny the possibility of that.
Hah, Where have you been till now?
Sunnychaya, so you have not heard of the big news yet.
'Modern' Divarakan's Elephant ran amok in Thrissur Town creating a scene.
Vehicles are still not allowed in the city round about.
For coming from Ollur to here, why do you have to go via round about?
We went to take video of that Elephant attack.
TV Channels have huge demand for such videos.
Or Else we can upload in Youtube and get paid for each click.
What?
He is a new guy.
Went to learn Movie Direction but ended up being with me.
Ok lets start with Valyam machi then. - Oh. Ammachi is still getting ready.
Ok - You can start from here. - OK
Everyone has come to attend am idst busy schedules.
Come I will give an intro.
Forgot everyone by now. Has been a long time since I met all.
Hmm. Everyone is usually busy.
Now they have come to be part of Ammachi's...
...birthday celebrations, may be one last time. - Ok.
Do show the fam ily in sequence in the video. - Ok.
Only then it looks good.
Come
This is eldest brother Kunjukunju and wife.
Both children are in Dubai.
Second brother Varkeychan and wife
Son is in Muscat.
Aah. Saram ma chechi.
This is Husband and Saramma chechi.
Their sons are in Kuwait and Bahrain.
Aah. Shosham ma chechi.
This is Shosham ma chechi and fam ily.
Daughter is settled in Bangalore.
Where is Anna?
Come. This is our 3rd Sister Anna and fam ily.
Children are studying.
Cover all of them well. - Ok.
Looks like many copies of the DVD would be needed.
Its a big fam ily.
Hope you all are doing fine.
Leela, Salt seems to be less in this dish. Get me some salt.
I had put enough salt as per need.
As per whose need?
This food needs to be served for 50 people today.
Don't make me ashamed on a good day like this.
See the Priest has come. Ammachi, you should come now.
Didn't I tell to have catering people to make food for today.
Oh, Catering people. You check that.
It's Beef Roast.
This homely taste can never come with Catering people.
Ya, the only thing is we have broken our backs working whole day.
Hmm, Now stop your cooking and come with me.
I am coming.
Get the food served in to plates. Please check if this alright.
I have already checked. You serve it in plates.
Is this the new Kochachan (Junior Priest)?
What is his name? - Joby Mathews.
Oh my God, these new names...
How can I call him 'Joby Achan'.
It would sound like calling young kids.
Should I call 'Mathai Achan'?
You can call whatever you like. Come with me now.
Is this the Priest who got divorced? - Yes, he is only 30 years old.
After the Senior Priest got transferred, all the duties are with him now.
Wonder what was his issue with ex-wife?
A Priest who is divorced. How times have changed! Hmm.
Shall we start the function with a prayer?
I need to go for a House Warming after this.
Shall we wait? There is one more person to come.
Benny chayen's wife - Molly Chechi.
Benny is my third son. He is in America.
Will she be late? Sunnycha!
Let me give her a call.
Molly chechi wont pick calls when she drives.
It's a shame. Even though we are paying the Achan for coming,
Still he has to go for other functions after this.
From the days she got married here,
Molly always had some attitude that she is a woman who earns,
It became worse once she went to US.
We have to suffer for this.
Benny chayen made the decision to marry her without any dowry.
Can't get her on phone.
It's been a while since she started from Nenmara.
Shall I do the prayer and leave?
Once Molly Aunty also comes... You can cut the cake. Ok?
Ya thats fine.
Lets Pray then.
Please switch off the TV.
"For all the kindness you have shown towards me...
...Christ, tell me what should I do?"
"Tell me what should I do? Oh Christ"
Our father in Heaven,
We thank you for this Oppurtunity to come to this home...
...and celebrate Ammachi's 70th Birthday.
Lord God, We give Am machi in to thy hands.
Please bless her to be healthy and praise your name.
Please give us happiness and peace today.
Please help us pardon other's sins. Oh God, Molly Aunty.
Help us follow the words of Lord Jesus and teach them to our children.
May the Lord be with your home always?
In the name of Jesus, Amen. - Amen
Hah, What was that sound?
Acha, Isnt this your scooter? - Ya.
Sorry Acha, I doubt that back wheel of the scooter is jammed.
Oh God.
Sunny, you called and hurried me while driving.
Oh, now you are putting the blame on him.
I have told you 100 times not to put this sleeveless blouse.
I am not saying anything as Achan is here.
It's ok. Please don't create an issue on a good day.
Please go inside and cut the cake.
It was my mistake, Acha. I am so sorry. - No problem, please carry on.
See you for the Evening Prayer.
Should I come for the Evening Prayer Today?
I need to go back in the evening itself...
There is an audit at the bank the day after.
Oh, then you should have better not come at all.
Sukumaran, It's for the Rent, Right? Just a Minute. Please be seated.
I am in a hurry to leave.
Where are you going today, Madam?
Today is a Harthal Day, Don't you know?
For what?
There was no news on harthal until last night.
Petrol charges have been hiked by Government.
It's a jump of Rs.7 in one go.
Harthal was declared yesterday night.
It's showing as Breaking News on TV. Check it.
This is Rs.450 less.
I had told you already about that.
Pipe leak maintanance in the bathroom.
I have deducted the charges given to the plumber.
Thats the difference. Ok. Lets get going now.
What is this system? The rent itself is Rs.2000.
How can you deduct from that?
But... - Is this America for such strange rules?
We had agreed upon the same in the contract itself.
The condition of the house says it all.
How can you blame the house? This is built by my father.
You can vacate this home now. Enough of your stay.
That's not what I meant.
But that is what I meant.
It's been some time since you started this.
Pipe leak, Roof and Wall problems.
This house will have such issues.
It's in a place like Nenmara.
If you have issues with my house, you can vacate now.
For now, you will have to go. It's getting late for me to work.
And the contract anyways has 1 month notice period.
Oh, the notice period I had told not to do all this.
Let me see that doctor.
Ok then. We will find an am icable solution.
What's that?
Oh, Looks like Molly has already come.
What did you think when you drove the car to work?
This is a strong hold of the party.
I don't think you realize it.
May be you can park the car to the side.
Why tempt them? Eh?
Let it be there.
It's not as risky as opening the bank and we being here.
Yes, it is. Bank is a public property and fully insured.
I am wondering how no one stopped you on the way...
Who is going to stop?
The party workers themselves may not be aware of Harthal.
Announcement came only late night.
You all fear for no reason.
This is my respect to the US Culture. Fearless.
We need to fear only those who deserve it.
Thats true.
I am thinking... - Menon, Let me finish this work.
Where have you been?
Just went out to check if I can get a Tea.
You are always searching for a reason not to work.
Learn from her. Her dedication to work.
Open your mouth.
Doctor, he was playing in the school and got camphor stuck in his teeth.
Seems like a good game. What's your name?
Flemming Raj. - What? - Flemm ing Raj.
Good Name. And Mother's? - Mulla Devi
Hah, Now, what shall we do? - As its camphor, shall we burn it off?
Then, did Bindu not understand what Sreelekha is saying?
One Minute, Molly Aunty.
It's Molly Aunty, my Mom's friend.
Sukumaran just called. Tell me the rest.
He is a harmless guy.
Ay, That is not going to work anymore
We need to change home.
Atleast Grand Father could have told the truth.
Did the registration get postponed?
Is there any property issue? Am I at the wrong time?
What property issue can she have?
Because of the power cut, she m issed yesterday's serial episode.
She is on call to find what she m issed.
Is that all. - Aah.
Atleast Bindu should know the truth.
What would be fate of the kids whom she teaches at school?
Oh, there comes the 'Army of Monkeys'!
Give me some water. - It's right there, Son.
The house is just opposite to our home.
Sankarettan and family come only once in a while from Dubai.
Amma, give me something to eat.
He is not allowing me to speak. Let me call you later.
If you like the house, then you can stay there till you go back.
Rent should not be high. Have you told that?
But isn't the distance to your Bank more from here,
That is what Mom also was asking when she called yesterday.
Let me go see the house first.
If it's worth it, then driving 8 kilometers is fine.
The only thing is you are not fully used to driving here.
I am an expert now. - Ya Eh...
The house is fully furnished. You can use the full ground floor.
I don't want any of these. Can I go and get something from the Shop?
Oh, shifting house is the biggest problem.
Da, where are you going.
I will be back soon...
None of my friends at school are ready to believe, Gunesh etta.
All of them are mocking me.
Ask them to come to location one day and then they will believe.
So, its not like we see in movies, is it?
Ay, There was a scene where the jeep came to the Pothundi Dam
They had to take 10 retakes.
Oh is it? Were you not scared to act, Gunesh etta?
If we fear, then it's gone. You go and call her fast.
After that I need to go home and have food.
Usha has said that she will give me food daily.
That's my main attraction to move to Chittilendherry
Molly, this is the 8th house that you are shifting in 2 years.
Atleast think what others would say
Molly Ammayi, Gunesh ettan has come.
Come, Come
Ey, do you want to have dinner?
Ya, - Go, take the plate.
Babu will be in Chennai till Monday morning.
Is your Chennai ticket confirmed?
That is confirmed, Benny. Don't get tensed.
Did you speak to Ancy?
Ya, I spoke to her
That's all.
Ah, Molly I need to reach office early today.
Then take the 8:20 Metro. Don't drive.
Ay, come on eat with your hands.
Can you come here now?
I am starving here and he is busy eating noodles.
Aiyoo, Molly Am mayi Gunesh ettan has to go soon.
Oh ho. Benny please call me back later. Someone is waiting here.
Why is your Gunesh ettan in such a hurry?
Gunesh ettan is always busy.
He has acted in movies.
Which movie? - 'Vinodayathra' (Movie Name)
Is it true? - The shooting was at Pothundi Dam.
There wont be much things to move... Eh
What was your name? - Gunesh Kuttan
So you come back at 7 pm - Ok
I will keep everything packed and ready. - Ok
Please tell me the rate now itself So that later there is no argument
Rs.2000 is fine for this. - Eh, Rs.2000?
You need help to load and unload things.
If it's the Union workers, how much do you think they will charge?
Hm m, The amount you quoted is little high.
You can avoid helping with Loading and Unloading.
Omit that and let me know an amount. Ok? - Ok.
Yes, I am coming.
Ey, brother can you help with lifting these.
She has already told that my help is not needed.
Let me go to the junction and be back.
But still, some help... - Oh...
What kind of people are these.
Don't lift this alone, you will hurt your back.
I can manage this alone. This is weightless.
Ya, surely is 'weightless'.
Husband and 2 kids are in the US
How can she be staying here alone like this?
May be the husband is having issues with her.
You come inside instead of looking there.
Even though from US, they seem to be in need of money.
Has the Bank Gaurantee for Remya Agencies...
...been despatched to Head office?
I had put it in George Sir's file yesterday. - But George is on leave today.
At what time are they coming tomorrow?
Will they come after having Lunch? No one has responsibility here.
There wont anything to eat here. Let me say that upfront.
Oh Jesus, You are planning to starve the guests coming home for a proposal?
'Achappam' (Snack) fried in Coconut oil...
Tasty Beef Cutlet... And Your 'Ethekkaappam' (Snack).
This much should be there for sure.
But Benny married me without giving any 'Ethekkappam'.
That is because my son is henpecked.
Make sure these guests are treated well.
Aaah... Aaah Will see.
Ammachi, It's a busy day at office.
Will call you when I am free, Bye.
Give me. Hmm.
Not good to say you can't make food for guests...
...coming for your daughter's proposal.
You all are sitting and discussing family affairs.
It's the last date for Applications and its already 12 o clock.
Please wait, the person will come soon
Can't we coordinate a little, Balram?
It's something relating to so many people's future.
Those who are waiting to pay the Exam Fee...
Can you please form a separate queue here.
Come.
She is good. Is she new?
No, she took a long leave after marriage and went to US.
Just joined back 2 years before.
Here, it is.
Sorry I am coming.
I am feeling uncomfortable.
It's the first time that I am wearing shoes.
It will be ok, you come.
Hope servant comes early today,
Hotel food does not go well with Ravi ettan.
Eh, If you go for this exercise with so many tensions,
Then it will be of no use.
Getting up early in the morning and completing all the chores...
This exercise is nothing when compared to that.
Oh ho, come walk.
You both should not restrict yourself to Chittilencherry and travel little bit.
Atleast go till Dubai.
You can see your Mom and your brother is also there.
It's expensive, Molly Aunty.
Ravi ettan's clinic is just flourishing.
If we stay away for a few days then he would loose patients.
If we think like that, will anything be possible?
Back then, when I had taken long leave from the Bank...
...your mom also advised me the same.
But if we don't do it at this age, then when?
Shouldn't we go back, Molly Aunty?
Come on do it correctly. You are Lazy.
Why are you here?
These are my students from school.
It's their new habit since you started morning walks.
What happened to those who came with a proposal for Annie?
That is just Ammachi's thoughts from time to time.
After all what is the use if they see me instead of the girl.
Ammachi won't understand that and I don't disagree when she says.
Annie is now of marriageable age, right?
The only thing I tell Annie and Ancy is...
Dating and Chatting is all fine but save something for post marriage also.
That's the only practical advice we can give to kids nowadays.
Need to give Benny's property sale AD in news paper tomorrow.
If Ammachi comes to know about ancestral property sale,
It will be an issue.
Still, how can you say such things to your daughters?
In Chirayath fam ily no one has ever sold land to outsiders.
Is Benny chayen so much in need of money?
AD has come in all editions and brokers have been calling since then.
It's a shame.
Go bring some sugar. You never listen to me.
What if someone from a different caste comes and stays there.
Take this and call Benny chayen.
Even if that means money for ISD call. Call now.
It's not Bennychayen. Its Molly chechi who is behind this.
What did I tell you to do?
He was such a good boy.
Now sitting in US taking care of Pets.
Molly chechi does not have to care anything.
She can sell the land, take money and leave to US.
You need to find a solution for this today.
Put little more Sugar.
It's all part of planning.
Else why should Molly chechi leave her good job in US...
...and come in stay in a village for this job.
They want to sell everything off and leave for good.
So Molly Madam will be here only for 3 more months
Shouldn't we give a good send off for her?
Yes, it's not a normal retirement. It's voluntary.
So the pain is less.
After signing the retirement papers, my hands trembled.
The day that I came here first with my father and joined...
That came to mind.
It's like that. First Job.
Whatever heights you scale, there is no better nostalgia than that.
After going back to US, do you plan to work there?
Can't help without it.
Annie and Ancy's education loan is still pending to be closed.
Isn't Education free there? Is Ancy doing Medicine?
That's Annie. Ancy is doing Corporate Law.
College is very expensive there.
Sangeetha wants to join for Medicine
But need to get a rank below 1000 to get in Merit.
Or else there is private college.
You will have to just sell a piece of land. - Ya ya.
I need to go to post office.
I will be going after a while.
No this is for Chennai. Has to go today else may get late.
Let me just go and be back, Menon. - Ok.
This is the shop frontage. You can't park here. - Ok.
This is space for Auto Stand. You can't park here.
It's just for 2 minutes.
No you need to park somewhere else.
The car is moving, Ramesh come.
Come fast, come... Stop it
Can you please call an auto for me?
Can you get me some water from the fridge?
It's very Spicy.
Feel like beating you.
If something happens to you, I need to explain to my son.
You should not touch that car from now.
She can't be without car.
She has to do so many things before leaving.
Like advertising for property sale. Finding a Buyer etc.
If we call, she won't pick the phone.
There is no point in a discussion over the sale.
We have already decided to dispose it.
Enough? Am machi, do you want to come now.
I should not have come to check on her health.
We are in need of money, Ammachi.
It's Ancestral property.
If its sale comes any good for you, then what's my problem.
Is it enough?
Ammachi, are you also here?
It seems Ammachi has made something special for Molly.
Please sit. - Are you doing well?
It's Appam and Duck Curry. Would you like to have?
No, need to attend a wedding reception after this.
There is some issue with my car's hand brake.
Needs to be repaired.
I am sure that I had put the hand break.
To drive again, you need to attend a Nallanadappu class from Traffic Police.
You will have attended their classes and coaching for a week.
Why? She won't drive until she goes back to US.
What if I have some emergency... Since I am alone here...
That's true. She has to drive even after going to US.
If it was in US, this would not have happened.
Since proper parking space is there.
Isn't it?
Ok then Ammachi.
Think of it as paid rest for few days.
"The Paddy fields which were reaped are ready to be cooked and served"
"The one on the other side are to be taken care of"
"It is time to shed some of them and return back"
"The early morning and the buds are ready to sprout"
"Today taking away all the thorns, stones and the bushes"
"Carrying everything and holding the palm leaves"
"Will climb the sky"
"Such a beauty, such a bliss"
"And underneath a life giving nectar of life"
"Such a delight, such comfort"
"Within the soil lies the friendship"
"Molly cool... She is always cool"
"Here lies a flower garden"
"Molly cool... She is freezy cool..."
"This gesture is such a happiness"
"Just like a bud floating around in the flower like wind"
"It is drizzling above The night is fading out"
"The shores are seeking far away Like the wings flying away"
"The Paddy fields which were reaped are ready to be cooked and served"
"The one on the other side are to be taken care of"
"It is time to shed some of them and return back"
"The early morning and the buds are ready to sprout"
"Today taking away all the thorns, stones and the bushes"
"Carrying everything and holding the palm leaves"
"Will climb the sky"
Aah Molly Sir, You came early?
Not early? Time told was 5 pm.
Everyone is attending Bank Association's Annual Summit.
That program went a little longer than expected.
That's the delay. All will come now.
George Sir had told that he would come early and help.
There is no use counting on him.
Shall I help you? - No, Sir I will do it myself.
That's ok. It's my last chance to do some work for the bank.
Catch it.
'Adieu, Molly Sir'
Not Bad
So there is a poet in you.
I have only one word to describe Molly
Timeliness.
Sometimes I feel afraid to talk to Molly.
For the last 2 years, Molly has been a guest to us.
A guest from US, whom we knew would return after her tenure.
When the Bank asked her to either rejoin from long leave or resign,
None of us expected that...
...someone like Molly will forego her facilities in foreign land...
...and come to the bank in a village like this.
But she came and became one among us.
Did her duties more timely than anyone of us.
Now, she is going back to join her family in US
Hence, a painful farewell is not relevant.
We wish all the best to Molly's future life.
Now, Inviting Molly to speak a few words.
Frankly, I never thought that all of you knew so m uch about me.
We have never spoken much, beyond my American life.
Whatever it may be. Hearty Thanks. For these days...
And Cooperation...
What else should I say?
What I always think is about small things.
How to make changes using small things?
How to do our job more effective and helpful to others?
We can close the counter exactly at 1 o clock.
Yes, that is the rule.
But if we compromise 5 m inutes, for a person standing in the queue.
What he may be getting is a new job and a new life.
We, including me, should strive to achieve that state of mind.
That's my only request to you.
So, you have still not stopped drinking this water.
Water in our wells here doesn't have any problem.
That has become a habit now.
Won't be needed for much longer.
Is it time for you to go to US? - Hmm. Ya almost there.
Ok then.
Unni please help with this water can. - No, I will do it myself.
What did she say last?
Need any help?
Don't work so hard at this age.
We are here to help.
'Bum per is small but the car is in good condition' (Mocking)
If I need help, I will ask you, Uncle.
Not that way. This way...
Sister, you have got a registered letter.
The Rule says that I should deliver only at home address.
Ok, and then do that.
Please don't make me cycle all the way for this.
Its only a Income Tax irregularity of Rs.30,000
Don't get tensed
It's a small issue. Give me the statement.
I will get it cleared via my auditor.
That will take a long time.
I need to fly back soon.
Sir, Is it ok to watch serials with a toothache?
Ya, you sure can.
Please don't bite on that side for 2 days.
Anything else?
Ok then...
Such people are my lively hood.
As you are saying...
I don't have the confidence to give this statement to the auditor.
Paraman is smart. He will take care of it.
The local IT office is at Palakkad, right?
So you plan to go there and enquire?
You don't know the system there.
Things only happen via auditor there.
What about those who don't have an auditor?
I don't know. Patients are waiting outside.
You won't listen. 300.
Here it is. - Thank You.
Got this notice by post, the other day
Whom should I meet regarding this?
It's at that section. - Ah. Thanks
My Form 16s for the last 3 years are here.
Based on these, I had myself filed the returns online.
Despite that I am not sure why this issue.
I understand. Not sure what we can do here.
May be someone at Kochi Office can help...
Ok when are you supposed to travel to US?
August 12th. I have booked my tickets.
This may not be a major issue but I would want to return peacefully.
Please Wait...
I have difficulty driving back at night
Did you find any solution to my problem?
Huh, haven't you left already?
I have been waiting the whole day for your call without even having my lunch.
Does it sound like a joke?
Madam, Please sit, Sit
I can understand your state.
What can we do?
Upgrade is going on in the systems here.
Hence, even more delay.
Will there be someone who can help at the Kochi office?
Madam, why do you want to bother when you don't have time?
Shall I suggest you a quick solution?
Slightly twisted route.
What's that?
The system here is not as transparent as in US.
Hence, it has many loopholes.
'Political Machinery' is what we call it here.
To increase its speed, we need to add some fuel.
A sum of Rs.15,000
Half of what is due in the notice.
I can solve this in 3 days without anyone knowing.
I am not here to offer you a 'bribe'.
I did not use that word. I only said as a small gift.
I am not Santa Claus to give you gifts.
Don't create a scene here. Let me warn you.
You are the one who said im proper things.
Where is the Asst. Comm issioner?
Sir has gone to Thrissur
Will come back only next week.
You better get out of here.
I am seeing such a specimen after a while.
So, the complaint is not that he took a bribe but he asked you one.
Yes, I am not sure why everyone is seeing it as silly.
I did not mean that.
Let me call Ravi ettan once.
No, you sit there.
If he knows he would not allow this.
You have to enquire if Mr. Shamsudheen behaved like this.
Someone in that office may say the truth.
All Government Em ployees are corrupt, is not a right thinking
Even I am a Government Em ployee.
This is just a one off case nowadays.
Let me correct that and give you.
Ay No, It's good that we have such pointers once in a while.
I will enquire.
Its ok.
But in future he should rethink before behaving like that to someone else.
That's enough for me.
There is a small cavity.
Do use the paste I gave you last time.
Should get well soon.
Oh ok. That's why I feel uneasy when I eat snacks.
Stop here, here. This is fine.
Is Ammachi angry?
I have cooled her down.
Now, don't start unwanted subjects.
Ok
You go first.
Where were you roaming till late night?
Just went to the police station - Police station?
Ammachi, you did not tell me about this visit.
Should I publish a notice before staying with you for 2 days?
But... - May be that's the way in the US, but here it's like this.
Sunny and family went to Singapore for weekend trip.
So Ammachi came over as she is alone.
What happened for you to go to the police station?
Is that all?
Then it's ok.
First time that a woman from our fam ily has gone to police station.
Now, that's also done.
Let that record also be in my name.
Ayye, What are you doing? Clean the fish properly.
Ok if that's the case, then you yourself do it.
Aah, you are waiting for me to say that.
An 'ideal' daughter-in-law (ln Jest)
Did he misbehave with you?
Who? - The guy who asked for the bribe.
No way.
All these guys who talk big mouth are themselves scared and useless.
Aaha. So you started cooking here
Not 'us'. It's Ammachi.
Spicy Fish curry is her specialty.
So the dishes I brought would go waste.
Usually, I bring dinner for Molly Aunty.
Oh God, so you don't cook anything here?
No (Gesture)
Tell the driver to come in the morning and get me.
The biggest fault I did was to get my son married to a communist guy's daughter.
See don't spoil Am machi's mood now.
Let's go to the other room.
Ammachi, you can enjoy making your curry.
Ok - Ok
Come
Ammachi, what you said is true
May be its in my blood...
My father who never gave up despite poverty and illness.
Before I leave, need to visit my parents' graveyard.
Not sure if I will come back here again.
Your old neighbors might be waiting to take revenge.
Take care when you go!
Ayye, what is this.
Can't you buy some long dresses for these girls?
Don't you have money for that?
The Girls here wear even shorter dress than this.
It's just that you are not aware of it.
If they were dresses like this, will they ever get decent grooms?
Ammachi, don't get tensed thinking all that.
I don't think that they will get married to guys here.
Then?
The Girls were born there. Let them find whom they need to live with.
Oh God, you mean Foreigners?
You always say things which make my heart break.
Go to sleep.
Who knows they m ight finally like some decent guy from here.
They are your girls so I have not hoped.
Oh God, please save them.
Do we have onion and eggs?
Need to make egg curry for breakfast.
Even that, I only will have to do.
How I Wish, atleast to have a black tea made by you, before I die.
Hm m, God.
We could take a taxi and go.
I don't like the train. It's smelly.
Train journey is convenient.
During my childhood, train journey would be a festive occasion.
Unni, do you have a cold one? - Yes,
Get me one.
Mother's house was at Varkkala.
Many a times we don't get seat on the train till there.
Even then we stand near the window looking out.
Here it is.
Someone should com plain against the bottling quality.
What do you say, Unni? - I don't know. If you need it, you can buy.
Don't say such displeasing things to her.
Madam will go and complain in police station.
Come - What?
Who is that?
Is he the other guy? - Yes.
She has very high reach. Treat her properly.
Based on your complaint, the police came to office and did a grand enquiry.
With no evidence, complaint was nullified.
Let's go Usha.
Something worse is coming your way soon.
I don't give a damn about your complaint.
Move aside, I say.
Oh, will you give the next complaint for that?
This place is not a fool's paradise.
She has some issue or other, every day.
Please let us go. My husband's clinic is near by.
You are free to go. I only want to deal with her.
The 'crybaby'. (Mocking) - I am asking you to move
If not?
If not then my next complaint will be for harassment.
And this complain will surely be actioned upon.
Because... I am a Woman!
Did you get what she said? Female Harassment.
She just has to file a complaint.
You will get yourself a snap in the papers...
...and a bad name for at least 10 years.
Got it? - Mind your business.
At the school, most of us take a Krishi Vikas or Post Office Savings.
Or release more money to PF.
That's all the income tax issues we face.
This can be solved by meeting the Asst. Commissioner.
Only few such people spoil the name of a whole department.
You come.
Why is this Tent here?
There should be some wedding tomorrow.
Can't see anyone here.
Looks like a lonely place.
It was like this in olden days.
Oh, this is locked.
Hold this.
Ah, what are you doing?
Come.
Oh God. If someone sees this, my image is gone.
To jum p? And that too at this age? - Yes.
Oh my...
Catch me. Careful...
Oh, did you come all the way for this?
Who is that? Who is that in the graveyard?
Don't you know to enter here on any day other than Sunday...
...you need perm ission?
We checked but no one was here.
Does that mean you have to break in?
What's this new rule?
Should I remember my parents based on the calendar days?
Oh, interesting. Who are you?
What's the problem there?
Praise be with the Lord, - Let that always be.
They broke in to the cemetery.
You are Molly, right?
Yes, father.
It's no wonder that she did this much. Where have you been?
I have been in Kerala for a while. Next Month will fly back to US.
Johny, don't you remember?
Even though her dad Mammachan was a communist, he was god fearing.
He made sure that his kids attended Sunday school regularly.
Come.
Oh so she is Mammachan's daughter.
Once she trained her sister for the Sunday school exam.
As usual she failed.
Molly created havoc that day.
You chased to beat her with a stick all through the neighborhood.
Do you recall that? - Hmm
Don't you want to visit your home?
That place has been sold way back.
That's my school.
Now it has been upgraded.
That cemetery is the only connection with this place now.
It would not be an issue with the bank.
Especially in the case of Molly. - Ya.
I have asked for a clarification from Chennai.
Let the Reply come.
Come have the food while it's hot.
Let's eat then.
Come.
This is perfect diet food. Not spicy.
Easy to digest.
Usha, you have it.
Amma, give me some noodles.
Serve it by yourself.
Ay, that's not noodles, that's Pasta.
Ah. You have a registered letter.
It seems you have lot of guests.
Should be your American Visa.
Ok. - Ok.
What happened Molly Aunty?
Paraman is at Coimbatore.
He will come only next week.
He wanted the statement to be scanned and sent to him.
That guy warned at the shop that something worse is com ing.
Who would have imagined this?
They are asking for 10 lakhs now.
They just have increase the count of zeroes each time.
Have some fruit.
Police enquiry would have agitated them.
But is this the way to react?
This is the way they know, to threaten.
Tomorrow is the day when the Asst. Commissioner is back in office.
I was planning to meet him.
Let's wait till Paraman comes.
Why?
Why should we hide behind a Tax Consultant?
If they are asking me to pay so much money as tax,
At least I should know why it's being asked.
Ya but Paraman...
Paraman can get involved but first I should know. Right?
Benny will come online now.
But if Paraman comes... - Oh stop it.
As if Paraman is the only one in this world...
I wanted to meet the Asst. Com missioner.
It's just about time for him to come.
I had called yesterday and I was told that he would be here.
Even if he comes, it won't be possible to meet him.
It's a busy day. Come tomorrow.
Ok. Then can you give me an appointment with him for tomorrow?
It's very important.
Im portant, for whom?
If you have more trust in the police department than us, go there and check.
I did not ask you to sit.
Look, we have spoken decently till now.
I had to com plain against your colleague as he m isbehaved with me.
Oh, not a good morning for me.
Ask your Uncle to repair the Palakkad - Thrissur road.
For some promise that 4 lane road will come and much more...
Why punish the people till then?
Yes.
I am here to meet you, Mr. Pranav.
Who is this specimen?
This is the lady who filed police case against Shamsudheen.
Oh so she is the one... - No, not that.
Mr. Pranav you seem to have misunderstood me.
How dare she call Sir so casually? As Mr. Pranav.
See, I am sorry... - Mrs. Molly Mammen.
Even if we talk or argue, your problem is not going to get solved.
As per the law of this land, your tax due is given in that statement.
If someone raises voice for the right, is cornering her your usual way?
Who is right? Is righteousness only for you?
Who told you that all the people in this office are corrupt?
I have not said that. Don't put words in to my mouth.
Sir, you please leave. I will handle her.
If you have no time today, I will come back tomorrow.
Not needed.
You had fixed deposits worth Rs. 35,65,000 in various banks here.
Is that true? - Yes
While working in a Scheduled Bank in India...
...you have claimed that you are an NRI...
...and not paid tax for these fixed deposits for the last 4 years.
Isn't that true as well?
Is it true that you sold your husband's...
...ancestral property near Thrissur recently?
Yes.
Do you know that the property was devalued...
...by 1.5 lacks of original price while registering?
And the Rs.30,000 in the first notice.
All this has been added up to this amount.
You are the one who tried to fool the government by not paying tax.
Our duty unfortunately, is to find people like you and bring them to light.
This is not true.
I won't pay this.
If that's your decision then let law take its own course.
But if you think that you can escape to US, then it won't happen.
I don't have the need to do that.
Even if you want to, you can't.
With this existing issue, if you try to leave the country,
We will take action to detain your passport.
If that does not work, court can take over your property.
Or, I don't know... you may even be prosecuted.
As per court discretion...
...your offense is punishable with up to 2 years im prisonment.
It's the start of a busy day.
It could have been closed just with Rs.15,000
Now even if you struggle for 15 years, it won't.
Now, Welcome to Hell!
Ammachi, can you put 'Chakkarabharani' serial?
Shut up and do your work.
You and your serial craze...
Here, I am tensed thinking about Molly and Benny...
...and you are behind the serial.
I hear that Molly has had some Income tax issues.
No one tells me anything clearly.
Hearing gossips that Molly might arrest.
Can the Income Tax people do that? - Oh yes.
They can do impossible things.
They could even conduct raids in Top Actors' homes.
Oh ya I forgot that.
Is this all true, Ammachi?
We give Property and Utility tax only once in a while and its fine.
This is not like that. Seems this is very strict.
You also come under the purview of Income tax. Be careful.
Don't Joke now. - I am serious.
Apart from here, you work in 7-8 homes with a monthly income of 25,000.
If one has annual income of more than 2 lacks one has to pay income tax
If they spot you like Molly chechi, then you will be in big trouble.
Will Molly be in trouble?
Ay, don't worry. They have enough money, so let them pay some tax.
Let me leave.
If Jayan comes, ask him to come to the shop.
That Molly is too unpredictable.
She deserves few thrashings from Benny chayen.
Being from Chirayath family means some discipline at least.
Or call Bennychayen and ask him to divorce Molly Chechi.
That will finish this headache
You should never put this TV again. Go and do your work.
Her daughter-in-law is of no good, but she is getting angry on me...
Hello, Madam, - Hello
Have not seen you for long, Molly Sir
Why don't you come once in a while?
I was little busy.
That's Molly Sir's replacement. Don't you want to meet him?
Sure. Let me meet Menon first.
He called me today morning and wanted to discuss something important.
He is with some guest inside.
Be seated here. Consider it still as your office.
Sure.
What happened to your American journey?
We thought you already left.
How can I leave without telling you?
I will call your Dad and talk.
Aah Molly.
Mr. Pranav, I was talking about this ex-employee's issue.
So it was for her.
What did you discuss about me?
Oh so you both know each other.
Ya, in a small way.
So it was you who gave all my details to them?
Eh, What?
Ah, Molly wait...
What wrong did I do? What is this Pranav?
That is a problem of Women of this age, a kind of persecution complex.
We have our own system to find out details about people whom we suspect.
Your system is wrong.
The irregularities came out only when the police case was filed.
Isn't that evidence enough? How can you justify that?
Thousands are here like you who are cheating the government in tax filing
We can't keep justifying to each one of them.
Let's step inside and talk.
I don't have the need to cheat anyone.
You are the one with a complex.
I am not expecting any concessions in terms of gender or age.
Young men like you have a misunderstanding like that.
Your American Sense of righteousness is good.
But you would have got even worse punishment for the same offense there.
What is the offense that you mean?
My relative is the one who handled the property sale.
I was not aware of the Bank Fixed Deposit IT clause.
These points may seem innocent but we are not fools to accept that.
Ignorance is also an offense.
Atleast for us.
There is a common thinking
Someone who is elder and behaves neat should be always respected.
Be it India or US.
Mrs. Molly for someone like you who is living alone without husband and kids...
...someone without even a proper family life.
Will have lot of frustrations.
But it's not to be taken out on the system.
It would be a help to others.
We will see.
Mr. Pranav... Let me...
What is this Molly?
Is this the way to behave to Bank's customers?
Pranav's Dad had an old Fixed Deposit here.
It has been up for renewal for years now.
He came for that.
I am seeing him for the first time.
On hearing that he is in IT department, I just mentioned your case.
You created such a big issue for this.
Very bad.
Mr. Menon, why did you want to meet me?
Oh so that's the gap.
Wrong PAN number in Employee Declaration.
Such cases happen.
And in your case there is a long service break as well.
Clarification from bank's Chennai office came yesterday.
Menon said that submitting 26AS would solve the issue.
He said that he will arrange for it.
That would have been enough earlier.
But now you have fresh notice with a larger sum.
It's complicated.
Please somehow get this solved.
It has grown to become a big problem.
There is opinion to light the fire on first day of the temple festival.
How can that happen? - I don't know.
Have asked everyone to come in the evening.
Hope it can happen without further fights.
I am going to the temple.
Are you coming? - I will.
There is one more problem.
Lady supposed to do 'Kanyarkali' (Folk Dance)
...says she cant do it any longer as she has retired.
Oh, now do we have retirement for that too?
Did you hear all this?
Until the 14 days of this festival is over, I am com pletely busy.
It's not like olden days. Theft is another problem.
Ok but lets come to this case now.
Oh I forgot that.
Let's beg with the facts to Asst. Commissioner and ask pardon.
If he agrees, then we are saved.
Ay, that's not needed.
That Kid. Who does he think he is?
Can we do anything legally?
If it's legally then we need to pay this amount.
Even if the claims they said are a but harsh.
This seems like a small amount for you.
You don't have to beg with anyone. Just pay and finish the problem.
Its Rs.10 lakhs!
I don't have that m uch money.
Ok. Then let's go meet the Asst. Commissioner.
I will also come.
He is a nasty guy.
It will depend on his mood and your luck.
The Rich can survive tax frauds worth crores.
But not for us commoners.
That is how the system is geared to.
There is no use saying.
It's Benny on the phone. Excuse me.
The easiest thing she can do is...
Take a ticket at the earliest and leave the country.
You told that they have sold all that they have here.
Let the case proceed here.
If they are not coming back immediately, there is no issue.
Ay, Molly Aunty won't flee like that. She is a special type.
I also felt that.
Ravi, you bring her to Comm issioner's office somehow.
I will also come.
Let's hope it will finish well.
Who told you to write a receipt for Rs.1500 without my knowledge?
It's for the Goddess, you all have to cooperate.
I give the Goddess what she needs.
I will give only Rs.101 and you can write receipt for that.
Now, you can also start to blame me.
You have solved so many bigger problems alone.
Or else if you want me to come, tell me.
Let me see.
Let me cancel the tickets. Should we escape like this?
Escaping. There is no question of that.
Your innocence has to be proved.
Be brave.
I told you already not to come.
If there is no mentality to help, then what is the use?
Patients are waiting at the clinic.
Ayyo sorry, Ravi you should leave then.
That's ok let go of one day's practice.
Can you see that man over there? - Who is that?
He used to own a bakery at Palakkad.
His bad luck made him come here once for a case.
Since then he has been here itself for the last 5-6 years.
Compared to that these 3 hours wait is nothing.
I will call you back, Usha. We are still waiting.
Sir has asked you to come.
I will call you later. Ok.
Molly Aunty... Just be careful with him.
316... That's very high.
No.
Which one?
I already has Hindalco. Don't want that.
Sell of Pantaloon and buy 100 shares of Tata Motors.
Hello, put Sobha Developers at Selling Price of 350.
Ok.
What do you want?
I am an employee at K. S Nath Associates, Kollamkodu.
Ok good, So?
Was here to talk about a settlement.
Be seated. Please sit.
Hm m. Tell me.
Which one?
Century textiles. That's good. Buy 100.
Ok.
Sensex has clim bed 400 points today.
But can't do online trading with this broadband speed.
Yes, yes. We also do small brokerage business.
Is it? What's name of your company?
K. S Nath Associates, Kollamkodu.
Aah. How much commission do you charge? - 1% is...
We are not here to discuss the com mission at stock exchange.
There is no use discussing your case.
Haven't you got that yet?
Who is this?
I am Dr. Ravi. A Dentist.
Oh where is your clinic?
Sir, please do something to solve her case. She is a nice lady.
Oh is she? Then let her say that.
Please tell. Go on.
There is a famous quote from Abraham Lincoln.
You are the prime exam ple of how much a man...
...can be arrogant when he gets power
And I know how to use it well.
But can you use that power to make a positive change...
...in the life of a common man?
Your first challenge was to make me say 'Sorry'.
Let that com plete first.
Then we will think of a new one. Ok?
There is no use in an argument.
If at all there has been any mistake from her end.
I am asking apology on her behalf.
Frankly, you all have m isunderstood me
I do not have anything personal in this
Can you show me any claim that she can legally account? - No.
Then she has to pay that amount.
Why are you calling every 5 minutes?
I already told you that he is an arrogant guy.
Keep the phone.
Who was on the phone?
It was my wife.
Babu, Tea and 2 Cream Biscuits
Ammachi, don't think too much and get tensed.
No one can put someone in jail one fine morning.
You don't sit there and talk like this.
Better catch the next flight and come.
Then you conduct the case or take Molly back.
Do what you like.
Let me see.
Molly is saying that I have nothing to do over there.
Above all, who will take care of my Pets?
You better not come then.
Sit there and take care of your pets.
Let me see what I can do at my end.
What can you do for Molly chechi not paying tax?
I can do a few things.
I got to know that Com missioner boy is from our town.
He is the son of an ex-principal at nearby college.
Is it?
Let me talk to the Priest.
So that we can try reach a settlement via the church.
Why do you bother so much?
It's just a matter of 10 lacks.
Better pay that...
...instead of being ashamed when everyone comes to know.
You should still have the money from property sale. Then why not?
That has all been spent. That's why we are tensed.
Spent and that too this much money. How?
You are not aware of the expenses here.
Kids college fee itself is huge.
House and Car Mortgages along with that.
Even then...
Am machi, try speaking to the Priest.
It's not something or which we need to pay.
Ayyo, Benny, Are you there?
Net got disconnected.
How many times have I told you not to disturb the wires?
I did not stamp on it.
Should I learn com puter at this age now?
I almost feel that he faded away from my eyes suddenly.
This will become alright soon.
You please do something to get this up.
But even after being in US for long if they say they don't have 10 lacks
It's quite unbelievable
Why should he lie?
Haven't you read in news paper that American is in Recession?
Oh my son.
You get this up without sitting there. - It's powering up now.
"Good Shall Come upon A happy promise it be'
"Given to us by the almighty above Peaceful times"
"Changing the hopes"
Offering shall be taken with the next song.
"Shalem's lord gives us Shalom And the goodness of mother..."
Molly, what are you doing? People are noticing.
Am machi this is the Commissioner.
What's it? - Will tell you later.
Whatever it may be, church is not the place to show it.
...Make us eligible to exchange the Lord's peace.
For now and forever be the same.
Peace be with you all. And with you also.
By the Lord God's Love...
...we should now exchange the pure and holy 'Kiss of Peace'.
"With the saviour lords love and the peace"
Molly, exchange Peace...
Do it right now.
"With the saviour lords love and the peace"
In my small career, I have mediated many issues...
Divorce cases, fam ily quarrels, issues between children and parents,
But its first time that it's a case related to Income Tax.
With Ammachi insisting, I cannot afford to evade this as well.
Hope you can get that.
He has no intentions to harm them.
It's intentional.
Otherwise how did the notice amount increase to 10 lakhs.
What do you have to say, Pranav?
Issue with an older woman, That does not sound good.
What benefit do I have by troubling her?
Do you like mediating a Divorce issue?
But still you need to do it as its part of yourjob.
It's not just her; I am not interested to bother anyone.
But is it wrong to do one's duties properly?
No its not.
I agree that it's the age of feminism and women's liberation
But still isn't it best to solve this case am icably
I am not a feminist.
I am just trying to lead my life as I wish.
Is that wrong?
Let me leave. I have something else.
There is a match at the club.
Here we are discussing about a serious issue,
...and he is bothered about his match.
I told you he is an arrogant guy.
How can you talk like this? - Pranav, Ammachi
Bible says to pay your taxes. Remem ber the Gospel of Mark?
"Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's" Isn't it?
If it's in the Bible, we won't disobey it What do you say?
Aren't the Tax collectors who exploit people referred to as hated ones?
How can you support such people?
But Jesus says to care for the Tax collectors and Prostitutes.
I don't have enough money to pay for this.
Since she is saying so, can any other fam ily mem bers pay for it?
What do you say?
10 lakhs is not a small sum and business is running dull.
My account has 1.5 lakhs, Isn't it?
But that's for your emergencies.
See, with all due respects to you,
This is not something which the church should interfere.
Even if I have the money, I am not ready to pay this.
Why does someone have to pay tax here?
What do people benefit from paying tax?
For years on, I have been paying 30% of my income as tax in the US.
But there the Government provides me with basic facilities
Like clean drinking water, road, and electricity
What about here?
Please don't sound so hopeless about the situation here.
Did you listen to her? This is her attitude.
She only wants to argue on this but not to resolve it.
I am not going to resolve this by paying 10 lakhs.
But the bible says...
Everything can't be done according to the Bible.
Molly...
So that's it then, Let the Law take its course
Very soon family members can meet Molly Aunty in Jail.
Greetings to you. Are you coming Dad?
But Pranav... - Ok.
What did he say last?
Did he say that he will jail Molly?
Oh Jesus.
Please get some water.
Where are you all?
What did the doctor say?
It's a mild attack but no need to worry.
She has to control her diet which she can't do anyways.
Let her be happy for the rest of her time.
That's better, isn't it?
You could have kept the luggage in the boot.
Seems to be expensive stuff.
When I was telling about Tablet, wife was asking what illness do I have?
She is foolish.
Oh, I could not buy that for you. I was busy.
We can buy it from here. All Multi nationals are here now.
But still one can't call that as American.
Oh that's old times. What is there in America now?
What's in this?
Will show you. Son, Come
Don't shout. He will become violent.
The one at the back is even worse.
This is your Master's Home land.
Do you like it?
Did you like the American Landscape or Kerala? Tell Me...
My dear son
Mom, what is this?
It's so sad that I am bed ridden like this.
Don't worry. I am here now. It's ok. Don't worry.
So these are more important for you now than me.
Otherwise why would you bring them along, when I am so ill?
They are harmless creatures
I love them a lot.
Uncle, I have a doubt
Won't they get suffocated on the flight?
No, they travel more in more luxury than us.
Unlike here, America is a very pet friendly country.
Can you call and check if Molly has started from Chennai?
It's really bad that she chose the same day as you came, to go to Chennai.
Its not intentional, she has some work.
It's still switched off. You go get fresh.
Give that to me. Let all that be later.
I am seeing you after 12 years. Let me be with you for a while.
The food in the flight was not so good.
Let me go to the restroom.
I never liked the restrooms in flights. So congested.
Try her once more.
Superb. Nice Tea
Our day starts here at Chittilamcherry with his tea.
How much?
I have an account here. Will settle it End of Month.
Here.
Tea from here has other benefits too.
What is that?
Can also get the blessing of remembering Lord Guruvayurappan.
Not just that.
He is also does massage at the Local Ayurvedic hospital.
Is it? - Yes
Ravi, I need to meet Paraman.
Why?
We don't have any properties, assets here nor any bank deposits.
The court can declare us as bankrupt. I am hearing something like that.
I will check with him.
All this is happening because of Molly Aunty's over smartness.
That's not being over smart. That's being her.
If we think, each home has someone like Molly.
In one way or the other.
If we start to worry about it, we would have time only for that.
She can make us insecure very fast.
It's her specialty.
We need to learn to enjoy her ways.
It took we 5-6 years to do that.
So that's why people call you henpecked.
So you do like Molly Aunty or the pets more?
I am not joking.
If it goes like this, you should learn to live with your pets.
Molly Aunty's destiny seems almost decided.
Will the power be back sharp at 8?
Our electricity board is very prompt at such things. Feeling hot?
No, It's very cold (ln Jest)
Whatever it may be, I feel that you did not deal well with the com missioner.
Don't speak about that guy to me.
Why not? Don't we have to settle this and leave?
You may end up in jail is what I hear.
I am not afraid to go to jail.
Are you afraid of anything in this world?
I can read your mind.
If I am in jail then you can enjoy as a bachelor in US.
Stop Joking.
Let me go meet Pranav once.
What for? If I have to go to Jail, let it be
To be in jail at least once in life was my secret wish.
That a very strange wish.
While in US, we have dealt even more dangerous people...
...than this with so m uch ease.
Compared to that, this is easy.
Check out the estimates given by the Architect.
There is a difference of atleast 30%
He is not even ready to accept that.
Ya ya.
Babu told about how you terrorized that Architect in Chennai.
Why do you have to create a raucous wherever you go?
At Washington, when you were fined for a speeding ticket,
...without paying fine you challenged that and went to court.
We had to toil behind that for long.
It was because that officer marked the wrong speed.
I have told you that.
What about your fight with the Neighbor on public nuisance.
His family has never spoken to me after that.
No, No. Its better not to have such neighbors.
I was the one who dirtied their pool with dry leaves.
Despite all this, without you days have not been fun.
Only if you create new problems, can I solve them.
We have only 10-15 years left to love and to fight.
Ya, that's true... says this Omen too.
Oh my god, 15 more years.
Oh, I don't think you will die before that.
This is a small club.
Don't compare it to your American Standards.
Can I play a game?
Why not let this game get over.
Do you want to try one more game?
There is a big opponent from US
Sure. We can try.
I am Benny.
Your game is not bad, Uncle.
But methods are quite orthodox.
You know a kind of fashioned technique.
And you don't have the fire to win.
Age to have that fire is over.
Isn't it Benny? I will be right back.
I still have lots of fire within me.
Also I did not understand the term orthodox for tennis.
Do you want to try one more game?
Taking such a big risk? Do you have the stamina for it?
Son, there is not m uch relation between age and stamina.
Don't stand there and mouth dialogues.
Instead take the racquet and come for a game.
So you got offended. I was just joking, Uncle.
Don't try to joke around with tennis.
I have been playing tennis everyday for last 20 years.
Is that the criteria of a good player?
Who are you?
You play at a small club in Palakkad, and arguing with me on tennis.
I see US Open live ever year.
Have you ever seen a live match?
Do you know my relation with Federer, Nadal and Djokovic.
So again you started with US Open, Federer etc.
Do you think all those who see live match can be good players?
In that case, all watching live cricket should be Tendulkars.
Sounds easy.
Son, you have seen only this small world around here.
There is a big world outside this place.
Ah, this small place is enough for me.
It's better to live like a man here,
...than being in US and writing accounts for some foreigner.
Who do you think you are to argue?
I have never done a wrong in my life and you are a corrupt person.
You better m ind your speech.
Then what kind of a man are you, trying to trap a innocent woman in a tax case.
We have not made that money through short cuts.
There is years of effort behind that.
On the basis of that if you try to frame her, you will suffer badly.
Oh ho, so that's the matter.
She has now come with her husband.
Ya, it's like that.
As long as I am alive, you can't do anything to my Molly.
I will fly with her soon. What can you do after that?
A big tennis player (mocking)
What happened?
What is the issue?
It's indeed a big issue now.
Do you want go for such a harsh step in this case, now itself?
Molly's husband himself told me that...
...they are planning to leave the country soon.
In that case, we don't have any other option now.
Passport detaining is not legal.
Recently, there was a Supreme Court ruling in such a similar case.
That's only when the concerned party argue and win in court.
Let them do that in court.
Frankly speaking, I do have.
There is no place she has left to malign me using this case.
Be it office, bank or even church.
Her mother in law is one character.
She took revenge by breaking one of my marriage proposals.
That's funny.
But this summons to the IT court is not because of all that.
What happened Sir?
Aah, We need to do our duty whoever it is.
Ya surely.
I won't be here tomorrow.
Going to a pilgrimage as dad wanted me to.
There is some pending work next week.
Need to take a hearing of Vyga Babu.
Aah. I will take care of that.
That woman surely deserves this treatment.
Next Up, Vyga Babu...
Vela (festival) is on the 15th day after Vishu.
That's the tradition.
On all those 14 days...
...evenings will host lighting of lamp and Kanyarkali (Folk dance)
I expected more rush than this.
For the festival there would be huge rush.
People are still coming.
Can you start on time? - Yes, will see.
Women are not supposed to sit here. - Oh sorry, I didn't know that.
Ok then let me leave. - Ok.
Will you be there for Porattu kali? (Folk Dance) - Sure.
What is the problem if women sit here?
Ah, don't create problem here also. Come.
Ravi, in the local language does 'Let it Stand' mean 'Let me leave'?
Ya, there are such funny things here.
What came out of your meeting with Pranav at the club?
Benny came to know his true colors.
So that flopped, isn't it?
It didn't work out.
Even Roger Federer can have an off day. - Ya Ya.
No Oro. Don't.
Give that to me.
What's this Oro? - It's ok Uncle.
Here, people are used to this.
But still this is a sacred place.
Ravi, I came to know a news.
Commissioner has referred to the IT court to detain Molly Aunty's passport.
Tell me clearly.
I came to know from the department.
If the court orders, then within 1 month the passport should be surrendered.
That's the law.
Oh. What now?
We should consult an advocate soon. Legal steps need to be taken.
It's not just about paying some money.
He should not win like that.
Which point? It's all about paying money as tax.
What happens if there is no person named...
...Molly when court summense arrives?
What will they do then?
Are you hinting about changing religion?
If Am machi knows, she will soon have a heart attack.
Sir will come soon. There was an accident in the morning.
He had to go to the hospital. That's why he is late. Be seated inside.
Molly he seems to be an interesting guy.
Here it is.
Molly, right?
Just as I had expected.
Keep the sword there.
Don't break it. Come.
Yes.
This is fine. Will be taken off tomorrow.
It's very common for me.
I am writing the script for the drama...
...to be staged at Annual Lawyer's Association Meet.
Yes, the drama has to be staged on 10th.
Due to writer's block, I am unable to sleep on many days.
During those times, I take a ride on my bike.
Yesterday night, I hit an electric post. That's all.
What is the state of the bike?
The front tyre is gone.
Mechanic said he won't do any work without settling previous bills.
Looks like he suits you perfectly.
I have studied your case. It's a little complicated.
That is why we have come to you.
Who gave you this foolish idea that changing...
...religion will help you escape this?
The formalities to change religion are too many.
And if at all it's done,
...all liabilities get transferred to the new name.
Otherwise it was so easy, people can just keep changing names.
Ok, can we move this case as female harassment?
Employee from that office has disturbed me many times.
Police station has a registered complaint.
But the section and case is different.
Bank is the one who changed the PAN Number and filed the returns wrongly.
Hence, should be the Bank who should be the culprit.
That Bank has been your employer for long.
Why drag them to court now?
Is Bank the offender or not, is my point
Offender means... No other client has quoted so many points to me.
Leave all that, Advocate. What is next?
We will see. The Law is like endless road.
Once I heard about Molly, my interest in this case rose.
After this interaction it has further spiked.
In my next drama, Molly may be the central character.
Until the case is completed, we won't pay you a penny.
That will be a problem. Even then let's try.
First, I want to know about the mentioned sum...
FD of 35 lakhs,
25 lakhs from Benny's property sale and Molly's retirement benefit...
Where has all this gone?
We already told that it has been spent.
But how? That is the crux of this case.
You know that, one should not lie to an Advocate
Haven't you transferred entire amount to NRE account?
It got spent, that's the truth.
If you say that all this money got spent for 2 kid's education,
...which court will accept that?
Even if it's true, to get tax exemption for that,
...you are not Below the Poverty Line.
Without telling us problems, tell us what is the solution
Solution won't be so easy.
It will have many findings... Some collisions...
Your past, present and future will have to be dealt in detail.
Are you ok with that?
If yes, then I am taking up this case.
Molly is fighting the system here. I have nothing personal in this.
Do you write?
What? - I write.
Have you seen my cartoons in Chronicle?
Titled 'An Argument'
Oh, so it's you.
Ya, if you try you can also write.
Your vocabulary is very nice. - Oh. No thanks.
I am fine with this job.
Considering that you are an artist with social responsibility too, let me warn
...that your client is an Anti-poor person, who is cheating the government and...
...moving that money to foreign land, which should come to the poor here.
Who are you telling this to?
The money collected as tax either helps...
...political parties to get votes or creates new scams.
Which poor has benefited from this money?
But now I have understood that you don't have anything personal with Molly.
You won't win this case. I have not left any loopholes.
We will see.
If she wanted to escape without paying tax... She could have done it way back.
You couldn't have touched her.
She is going ahead with this case, as she has a truth in her.
That one single reason is enough for me to stand by her.
It's been a while, who is that?
He is Molly Mammen's Advocate.
I felt it's someone seeking money.
Heard of the saying... "Blind leading the Blind"?
That's this duo.
By God's Grace all vitals are normal now.
Doctor says that you need to take rest and relax.
She simply scared all of us.
Who told you to get scared?
I am not going to die so easily.
Don't start to dream about that.
Wanted to meet Molly.
She is having food.
Its ok I can wait.
Let her know its Salim Mechery. I am her advocate.
Who is that? - It's her advocate.
What is left now is for the Police to come home.
Both of you should come to my office tomorrow morning at 10.
Office? - Yes
What for?
When I met you first time, I told you that this case is very interesting.
I knew that I myself will have to find an end to this.
Instead of beating around the bush, come to the point.
Shall I say it? - Yes
Shall I say what you did with that money?
Better spit it out right now.
Molly has another child outside this marriage.
Didn't you spend all this money for that kid?
I will break your teeth for saying such lies. - No.
Will breaking my teeth solve your problems?
He is Again... - No Benny.
So this is what you found after so much toil?
Great lmagination indeed.
What happened Mother?
Does she have an illegal kid?
He is mumbling like a mad man.
You come now.
I am feeling ill.
I am advocate Salim Mechery. Hope you remember me.
What's it, tell me.
If you don't mind, come to my office at 9:45 tomorrow.
So this is your new tactic after trying it all.
Whether you come or not, is your wish.
But I have something which is enough to malign your family and career.
It's a clear evidence.
Once it comes in open, don't blame me.
Ok then, Bye
But...
Come Play, What's the problem. - No.
How is this guy, Salim Mechery? - Who?
That mad guy who writes in Chronicle.
Oh Salim, See he made you say that he is mad. That's his wit.
He is extremely smart.
Be careful to deal with him. Else you are in trouble.
He has routed many others here. True.
Aah, you are on time.
Government Employees should be like this. Please sit.
What is the evidence that you have which will malign my family?
One m inute.
Here it is.
What is this?
It's your Dad's tax returns for past 5-6 years.
I have marked the irregularities in green.
Check carefully.
Church donations, Property deals,
Money transferred from your sister's NRI account
All of it accounts to an irregularity of 6.5 lakhs.
And bad name as well.
Since you are an Income Tax Asst. Comm issioner,
If someone sites that and files a case, you may loose your job.
At least a suspension, I am sure about that.
How did this happen? I had cross verified this.
That does not seem true.
Some laws we forget and disobey knowingly.
Especially if it's for one of our own.
I don't mean that you did an offense.
After all we all are humans.
If you or me want to trap someone, and work towards that,
...anyone is vulnerable to be framed.
Isn't that the same thing that happened to my client also?
Ah, it seems you will live long, We just were talking about you.
It looks like the grand climax of a great drama.
We will go and be back later.
Molly. Please sit. Let me tell.
Come.
How is Am machi? Hope she is fine.
It was a small shock. Isn't it?
We can't help that you are our advocate and this is our need now.
Otherwise...
Huh. A small shock.
That's what I also felt when I heard your story.
It was a sweet shock.
I too have something else to attend.
How is it possible if all are in a hurry? Let me say.
Whatever I said yesterday is true.
Apart from Annie and Ancy, Molly has other children.
Not 1 or 2 but 50 of them.
Do you want to see them?
Here it is.
I will tell their story.
Benny and Molly's American Life was like any other Malayali Expatriates'.
Between work, kid's education and small parties,
Days flew by without even time for themselves.
It all changed in 2004...
The day when Tsunami lashed across Indian shores...
Dreams that were shattered one fine morning...
Dear ones who were lost forever...
Grieving faces...
Molly was worried about her 2 best friends in Chennai.
Kala and Safiya, both her classmates from school.
The 131 people killed in Chennai on that day,
...included Kala and her husband.
Safiya was the one who called Molly to say that...
With that, Molly was worried about Kala's son who had become an orphan.
The already poor Safiya, could not take the boy's burden as well.
Molly happily took over his sponsorship.
But the money she spent for sponsorship was misused,
...which she came to know only after 6 months.
A local sponsor who had taken subsidy from government to build a...
...shelter home for 50 such orphans, had cheated everyone.
Molly and Benny's Life changed from then on.
A cause which brought them together as one.
They did everything to build a shelter home for those kids.
Working extra hours and working on off days,
Making sure that money reaches India on time.
A institution which can help these kids to learn...
...earn and be self-sufficient at the same time.
Molly and Benny were transformed in to an extraordinary couple.
That was the time when Molly got the notice to rejoin Bank in Kerala.
They decided to join back for 2 reasons.
Benefits that Molly can get on completing service,
Above all overseeing constructions at Chennai.
That made them chose to live separately even at this age.
Their fixed deposits, retirement benefits all were spent for these kids.
When money was not enough, Benny's share...
...was to fight with Ammachi and sell off his property.
A humble attempt for social equality by an old comrade's daughter, right?
Commendable that you found this much.
Finding your friend Safiya at Chennai, was the turning point.
Initially, she refused to say the truth,
But once she heard about you going to Jail,
She began saying the truth.
Everyone has a story, Mr. Pranav Roy,
Without thinking about it, we tend to rush to form an opinion on them,
Where do we have time for that?
My kids don't know about this yet.
Even if they know, they should be fine.
That's how we have brought them up.
The smile on the faces of the kids in that photo,
Gives us happiness, that's enough.
What is the fun in living and enjoying just for ourselves?
Why didn't you declare this cause earlier?
What for?
To drag those kids in to this and embarrass them.
We have not even registered a charitable society for this.
We don't have ant proof which says that we spent the money on this.
What is the use then?
Proof will be needed.
And still there is ways to do that.
That is the reason why I called you here.
What proof?
'Tamil Children get Malayali Sympathy' -
That will be the headline in the media here.
I won't agree for that.
She is always irked by publicity.
If my mother knows, she will create a big problem.
No, That's not right.
If your story inspires at least a few, it will be a great thing to do.
Not only that,
We need to immediately show that money was spent for this cause,
...and get a claim approved by IT Department and submit to the court,
Else not even God can rescue Molly from this case.
But...
So we need to do a light publicity, I take the responsibility of that.
You don't have to worry.
Don't think too m uch. Just Agree.
This is India, we need little bit gimmicks to survive.
"Got caught in the trap, You have given, Given in, Did you catch the tiger's tail"
"Did you let go of it? Did you fall in the pit?"
"Got caught in the trap"
"Got caught in the trap, you have given, given in, Did you catch the tiger's tail"
"Did you let go of it? Did you fall in the pit?"
"Got caught in the trap"
"When in trouble when you seeks somebody's help"
"Even the tigers would eat the grass"
"When you m iss your step, without letting go of your pride"
"Even the huge elephant king would fall"
"Got caught in the trap, You have given Given in, did you catch the tiger's tail"
Tomorrow we will see rivers of blood,
In these times of hatred and rivalry, We need people like Molly.
"Aaa ahaa. When you tear even the hair Aaa ahaa We will weave it"
What is next, Molly contesting elections?
Can't say now.
Now we will play with this in the court.
I am at home.
"That we can do it together..."
It's strange to see your change. What happened?
To think, it's quite amusing,
Amidst people who will do anything for a small part of fame,
There are people like these.
Who fight with us to hide the accolades that they deserve.
Requesting the court to consider the claims submitted...
...and drop the charges against my client.
Before the verdict, do you have anything to say to the court?
I am not sure whether what I am going to say, is logical or practical.
But all I have to say is a request.
In the future, one should have the system to do social service in privacy.
Actually, the term is not 'social service'
It's like helping ourselves, isn't it?
As far as I understand, the law here does not have provision for that.
When charity becomes a exhibition and business,
The ones who loose their self pride,
Are the ones receiving the help, isn't it?
When my children are picturized as orphans and needy,
via the evidence and media reports,
it should not become a blem ish in their future.
That is all my prayer.
"Thus, even after becoming expatriates,
Benny and Molly are great examples of those Indians...
...who have not forgot their responsibility to the Nation.
Hence, considering the claim submitted, court dism isses the case against her"
It's the wealth that my grand kids should have enjoyed.
I have pardoned just because the Priest said.
The Bible says "What the Right hand does, the left shouldn't know"
Even Ammachi has pardoned. What's this trick, Molly Aunty?
We can't live satisfy everyone.
We just need to be ourselves.
One day shall come, when everyone will understand us.
Let me leave now.
See you for the drama at 5 pm.
I have a date today evening.
What's dating?
Dating is the term in US for 2 people...
...getting together and talking to each other peacefully.
Oh is that all? - Ya, sometimes a little more.
So America is not as bad a place as I thought.
But who is your date today?
Such a beautiful place at the center of the city, but finding it was tough.
There were no proper sign boards.
There is no point in getting angry on me for that.
This fort comes under the Archaeology Department.
Since, I have lost and given up, You can start the next battle with them.
But I don't have the time for that.
When are you leaving?
Tomorrow to Chennai, Spending 1 week with the kids there.
After that to Arizona.
Not sure, if I will come back again here.
Benny keeps busy with the Tennis and Malayali Association there.
Truly? - Ya, Why not?
Molly Aunty was a Rocking Experience for me.
Rocking? - Ya, an episode that shocked me.
If you will miss me then there is a way by which we can keep meeting always.
What's that?
What is your opinion about marrying an Amercian Malayali Girl?
Who? Your daughter?
Oh My God. She will also be like you.
And to add to that, you as Mother in Law.
Better Leave me alone...
I would be the world's best mother in law.
"There weights that the elephant can't carry"
"There are distances that Molly can't cross"
"Don't the petal fade out in the sun"
"Come and join, Molly's army"
"The right way is the blue one, Journey will go through that one"
"Molly will decorate Maveli's country"
"Even the beasts are prepared"
"With her tiny legs"
"Here come Molly aunt"
"Through the righteous path"
"Come Join Molly's band"
