'LONDON BRIDGE'
'Truly speaking I was not like this till yesterday'
'Even for making a small decision today I think quite a lot'
'Perhaps today may become the most important day in my life'
'That's what I expect'
'ln fact this is definitely the most important day of my life'
'The most important day'
"Here we go"
"Beat the bass...Party is on"
"Everybody...run now"
'Before one could wink the life of a person could change'
'lt was almost like that in my case too'
'To tell you precisely it happened 18 days before'
'The day Kurien and Kumar came to meet me at my office'
Because brother Kurien is with me...
...hope you would guess the purpose of our visit
Mr.Vijay you know brother is in troubles
I know
To tell you the truth
I was wondering if I can donate my kidney to relieve him from his troubles
Is that made to be funny Mr.Vijay?
Why did you not relish it?
After taking liquid cash from me have you come with someone to plead
You dirty
What are you doing? Leave him
Look Mr.Vijay
Pavan group of companies MD C.S.Nambiar has sent me here
Kurien is very close to him
In fact sir came to know about his financial crisis only yesterday
Now Nambiar sir is ready to clear all his liabilities including yours
I am not bothered about Nambiar or Chakkiar
I must get my money 11280 pounds
Inclusive of today's interest that is the amount he owes to me
My God! No Kumar however you calculate it can't be this high
I swear I have paid interest on many occasions to the tune of 4000 pounds
Hey man, don't talk as if we do cattle business
Do you have any proof for the payments made?
Proof...now it is-
If you have the proof then show it to me
Don't simply blabber
If you have something in writing show it to me man
'l knew Kurien will never have any such proof'
'lt was not out of any greed for money...'
'...I inflated 4000 pounds to the money he owes me'
'Because Kurien has troubled me so much by not paying my dues'
'Besides since Pavan group companies have intervened...'
'...I guessed they might pay whatever I demand'
'But my hunch was wrong'
'They asked forthe account and things reached to fistfights'
'Finally that scene came to an end this way'
Kurien on his strength you can go now
But I know the place where your wife and children live in lndia
I will settle scores at our land
Nothing Kurien brother He can't do anything
Before that he would realise what we are
Will you and Nambiar take me by the horns?
Go man
- Let's see - We can
He does not know about CS
Come, let's go
'Out of my excitement that day I was hostile to Kumar'
'But on second thoughts I realised it was a big folly'
'Just like wiping a drop of water from his tache...'
'...he could wipe me out forever'
'Kumar's boss was so powerful C.S.Nambiar'
You are greed for money
Take it from me you would flourish only when you get rid of that
Francis brother how can you also talk like this?
What else can I do?
You do all nonsense and come to me
I am not St.Francis to solve all your problems
I am an ordinary mortal Francis
Earlier also I have intervened in many issues created by you
On that score I have earned many enemies too
But this time I am very sorry to say I will not intervene
Because the opponent this time is Nambiar
I can't shut my shop dear
You may please carry on
Francis brother-
First he would come to my office
Then drag me in to this and the flame would engulf
Let me tell you brother
Yes Francis brother
Vijay, Nambiar called me
He wants to meet you in the Croydon park club at tomorrow 2 p.m
- What for...? - He only knows about it
He asked me about our acquaintance
I told him we have just met in some social gatherings
You don't give a different picture to him
What would he think of me?
- What? - Don't forget
Tomorrow noon at 2 PM
Do as I explained Good luck!
No brother, l-
Hello...hello?
'l pondered over it the whole night'
'Finally I decided come what may...'
'To go and meet Mr.C.S.Nambiar'
"Everybody...run now"
Excuse me
- Mr.C.S.Nambiar - He is there
- Thank you - Welcome
- Nambiar sir -Yes
- I am Vijay Das - Oh
You are bang on time
Good
The privilege is mine, sir
Sit
So how are things?
- Going on, sir - Good
You should have guessed by now why I wanted to meet you?
Kurien brother is like a godfatherto me
You knowthose days when I came to London...
...he helped me quite a lot
No sir, actually it was a mistake
Have you seen this?
Central London's private investigation agency called Wheelers...
...on my instruction inquired about you and has sent this mail to me
In 2003 November on a student Visa from lndia you have come to London
Is that correct?
But for many including me the earlier days in London were not so pleasant
Might have been so for you too, right?
Wash room assistant kitchen assistant
Barman and many jobs of this type
During that time you met solicitor Francis of Eastham
That was a big turning point in your life
You are right, sir
After coming to London
Francis brother gave me a job which I could proudly mention to others
Perhaps out of his fear for me he did not say all these to me yesterday
Anyway at that point through advocate Francis...
...you took over a loss making corner shop and started running it
It was your good fortune that the shop started making profits
And now in many areas of East London's you have 10 to 12 corner shops
Besides you run a money lending enterprise
So Vijay Das is flying high
- lsn't it? - Nothing like that, sir
Sir, before you-
I am going through that mail my rage about you vanished
Because what I read was my own story 30 years ago
Those days it was Kurien brother for me
Now it is Francis that was the difference
I have earned enough
I have lost the passion to earn more long ago
Because I could sustain my hard earned money
I had lots of tragedies in family life
5 years ago I lost my wife
The very next year in an accident I lost my son too
He was only 26
Now my only solace is my daughter Pavitra
A guy who knows everything the tricks and turns of business...
...should become her life partner
I am very particular about it
Then only my hard earned wealth would sustain
My quick decisions and intuitions were always right in my life
On such an intuition I am asking you
Can you marry my daughter?
Sir?
'l first thought Nambiar was fooling me'
'But I realised it was not so when we both reached Croydon High street'
To show an interesting scene I have brought you here
The sole heir of a business empire worth 5000 million pounds...
...is begging there in the streets
She is my biggest problem now
Her charity and literature antics
I can at least tolerate
But see this
"Along the lake I see a heart throbbing in sandy wind through the deserts"
Who is this?
He is from Kerala Surendran Kanjani
My daughter's ex boy friend
"The grief of break up that shows up in your face rises up like a tide before me"
"My unchanged love I dedicate as a poem"
They have not met even once in person
Through some social networking site they became friends
Until few days ago she said she will live only with him
Do you know one thing?
These days I wake up with a shudder seeing this guy's face in my dream
They had an argument over one of the verses in Surendran's poem
Now they have parted ways totally
This is the right time for me to present you before her
But before that I have to know your answer
That sir
All on a sudden if you ask me
No no, I don't want you to tell me now
You can take your own sweet time
'lncluding Scotland's 3 distilleries'
'lf I am to borrow Nambiar's words sole heir...
...of 5000 million pound worth business empire'
'Let her be Surendran Kanjani's or any dirty fellows ex love'
'lt is not an issue at all for me'
'Though I said to Nambiar I would think about it it was just a pretence'
'To be frank I could not sleep that day'
'Next day morning I called Nambiar and told him about my consent'
'Perhaps he was more sure about my likely response'
'l felt my response did not excite him'
'But the very next day itself'
'l witnessed Nambiar in an ecstatic mood'
Now I am certain this will happen
Without any reason normally she opposes whatever I say
When I said this to her she laughed for some time...
...but did not say a word objecting it
Why did she laugh?
You must ask her
Anyway she said she would like to spend a day with you
That itself is a great thing
What would be the purpose sir?
Mainly could be to study you
Anyway your day with her is very crucial
So make it a good day
'Nambiar said this day is decisive'
'And this is that day'
'Perhaps whicheverway this day could become an unforgettable day in my life'
'As I said this is definitely the most important day of my life'
And have you met the banker?
Go meet them
- Good morning, sir - Good morning Vijay
Coffee?
No, sir I am already late
Vijay, don't you remember Kumar?
Why not?
Daughter would be there near her mother's tomb
- Hi - Hi
- I am Vijay Das - I am Pavitra
Hope daddy would have told you
Yeah, he told me
But Vijay, daddy said you would come at 10 o'clock
But now it is
Are you always like this or is it just one off?
No not like that
I was rushing but somehow I am late
- Sorry - Okay
- Let's go - Okay
By the way Pavitra I am also very much interested in charity
- But I don't find time - Oh Really?
-Yeah - Then
This is our pink day celebration coupon
Let the start be from you Vijay
Sure
Not any meager amount It is 1000 pounds
- How much...? - 1000 pounds
Why not?
How should l pay this amount?
That's ok
Before you leave I would collect it from you
Daddy would have told you about
He did say and I had an hearty laugh too
Who could be that big fool who likes to propose to a girl like me
That made me laugh
Sorry, I didn't mean that way
For a person like you I am neverthe right girl
Atypical family life with hubby and kids is not my cup of tea Vijay
To lean on when I become tired
I need a partner in life to stand by my side
I am a socially committed person
So my family life should not go beyond that
And one more thing is...
...as the in law of the immensely rich C.S.Nambiar
...my would be life partner cannot enjoy anything
Because after daddy's life time...
...Pavan group of companies would be made a charitable organisation
That is my decision
- Sorry - It's ok
So Vijay, ponder over it thoroughly
I also need time to understand if you would be compatible to me
Don't worry
Without your knowledge I would understand you
She is truly worthy of being Nambiar's daughter
No doubt
"Miniscule flashes from your eyes before me turned as gilded plumes!"
"Why didn't you sport the whitish smile?"
"You are lovely even in dreams"
"At dawn you are a breeze"
"Your soft foot taps are rhythmic"
"Oh Oh..."
"l just want to do this baby"
"Come romantically"
"ln night's dreamy chariot on this shore"
"To see and hearyou..."
"l swam across this longish night's ocean"
"Moonlight lily's will bloom in this garden"
"Will you come with love?"
"At dawn you are a breeze"
"Your soft foot taps are rhythmic"
"Oh Oh..."
"l just want to do this baby"
"Come romantically"
"ln nights dreamy chariot on this shore"
'Harry!'
"lf you would keep company..."
"...we would plunge in thousand moonlit nights"
"lf you would coalesce with me even daylights could turn..."
"...thousand lovely dreams!"
"At dawn you are a breeze"
"Your soft foot taps are rhythmic"
"Miniscule flashes from your eyes before me turned as gilded plumes"
"Why didn't you sport the whitish smile"
"You are lovely even in dreams"
"At dawn you are a breeze"
"Your soft foot taps are rhythmic"
"Oh Oh..."
"l just want to do this baby"

- Hello, sir - Why didn't you call me?
Sorry, sir
On the way I went to my office
- I had some work to do - What happened?
-What did Pavi say? - She said many things
But I didn't understand anything, sir
But one thing has become very clear
You have given me a good assignment
Vijay, don't become despair at the start itself
Did I not tell you that is her character?
You did say but I didn't expect this much
You do one thing Call her now
What for, sir?
Should I teach you that too?
Tell her you can never forget the day you have spent with her
Tell her you are grateful to her for that
Just say something like this romantically
Should I do that sir?
Then do as you like
Not like that sir I will call her
- Please text me her number - Okay, I will send it to you
What is wrong with this man?
Let it be anything
- Hello? - Hello Pavitra
I am Vijay here
Why at this time Vijay?
I haven't yet reached home
Just crossed Houghton park
- So what...? - Nothing for that
Because I was driving in solitude...
...I was thinking about the day we spent together
It was really beautiful you know
I...I had a lot of fun
Hello?
Hello Vijay?
Are you there?
Pavitra...
Vijay, what's happening there?
My...my car
I just hit someone
Oh God! Then?
Seems the person is dead
No movement lying on road
Might be unconscious Get down and check, Vijay
Pavitra, that-
- Should I do that? -You must
It's a question of someone's life
Don't waste time, go Please
Hello?
- Hello? - Hello Pavitra
Vijay, you need not have any fears
I have informed everything including your full details to 999
Police would reach there now
Pavitra, why did you do that?
Hello?
Where were you?
Hello, seems the owner of this phone met with an accident few minutes ago
- Who are you? - Me...?
I was at the spot at that time
Then, where is she now?
Anything serious?
Nothing to worry
Police came and took her in an ambulance
Can you find out which hospital?
They moved towards Basildon
So it could be the NHS hospital there
Okay
I would come now
Hello, Vijay tell me I was waiting for your call
- What happened afterwards? - Everything is okay, Pavitra
Actually she was a Malayali girl
What a coincidence!
With great difficulty I managed to find out the girls relatives and informed them
Now they will take care of her We don't have to worry about anything
- Where are you now? - I am going home
Vijay, what are you talking? Your car has hit her
So you have a responsibility to her
No, I have a-
Business people don't have any human consideration
If you can't go tell me the hospital where she is taken to...
...I would go there
No no You need not go
I would go
I have already turned my car I am on my way actually
Good
Vijay, it is not about making money You must be a humane
Sure, I know that Of course
However late it may be as soon as you reach hospital call me
- Okay? - Okay, Pavitra
Here comes the next bother seems this is a worst day for me
Hello?
- Did you get any other information? - Actually I am going to the hospital
- So would you be there? - Yes, I would be there
- I would reach now - Okay
If hospital wants details about her what should I tell them?
I mean her name where is she working such details
She is a nurse
She was directly recruited by NHS...
...she has just landed today noon from lndia
Her name is Merin Merin Lissa John
- Gracy sister -You toothy
I thought you would have forgotten my arrival
How can I forget you, dear?
It is very chill here
Then what would you say about the real cold season?
This is the normal climate here
Where is Thambi Kuttychayan?
Hi baby
- Hello - Move man
Come on...come on
You scoundrel
Horrible
Here comes your Thambi Kuttychayan
Poor guy! He is looking foryou
Dear Merin
O lord! How did you get here?
He will try to utilise the opportunity You better be prepared
- Dear...! - Thambi Kuttychayan
Hope the journey was comfortable
Great
Then, let's go
It's so beautiful out here
Do you like?
This is nothing
If you want to see the beauty of Britain you must go to the countryside
One day I would take you there
How is your online paper in UK?
That's great
UK Malayali's need my paper early morning
'Malayali at Britain' to ease themselves
They can't live without it
That's right
The paper is best suited for that time
Anyway, your trip to this place would have relieved Johnny uncle greatly
How will he get relief sister?
Even if I toil here for 10 years the debts cannot be cleared
Along with that Malu's education is also to be taken care of
Relax, any way God has given you the life you wanted
He would have decided on the rest also
Few nurses known to me stay here All of them are Malayali's
Have you reached?
- Hello - Hi
Since you didn't turn up I was about to call you Gracy
- The flight was delayed - No doubt might have been Air lndia
Yes
Dear, the room is on top
Jessy, what do you have?
Dear
Have you packed a stone mortar inside?
It is very heavy
Merin, she is Jessy
She worked with me in City hospital
- Which is your town in lndia? - Koothattukulam
It is time to go for duty
Let us get acquainted in the evening
- Okay, see you girls - See you
Sorry, I am little busy
Today it is my turn in kitchen
I have to finish that before I leave for wok
- You carry on - Okay
- We would leave now - Ok, I would call you later
Some money for you
You would get salary only next month
Keep it with you
Dear, I would have loved to keep you with me
You know about it That may not work out rightly
Don't bother about it, sister
380, 400, 420 440, 460, 480, 500
My God 500 pounds
That means 500 x 100
50,000 rupees
- Hello? - Gracy sister
Why did you give so much money?
Let it be with you, dear
If there is a crisis I can get from you too
From next month who do you think you are?
Your starting salary is 2200 pounds
That is peanuts for money lenders back home
Jeez! Is it like an anticipatory bail?
Okay
Merin, I am going for duty
Food is on the dining table
- Help yourself - I would, sister
Take rest Will meet tomorrow
Sister
'l just want to know one thing'
'How do you send money to lndia?'
'ln the next street there is a Muthoot money transfer'
'l normally send through them'
Gracy sister!
Hello Pavitra
I am in the hospital
She has just been taken in to the HDU
Yes!
No, I am waiting outside
Sure
Okay
Did I talk to you over phone?
Yes
What's your name man?
What?
I asked what is your name?
Vijay
Where do you look while driving?
Were you drunk?
I am asking you are you laughing?
You don't know about me
I would thrash you and-
Dear
Take off your hand
I said take off your hand
For the sake of courtesy I was waiting here...
...until someone from the girl's side come
Nowl feel it was a folly
Hello Mr young entrepreneur
Prasad, sir
Your work place is really nice
Thank you, sir Please
Why this unusual visit to my office, sir?
Vijay, sometime ago you wanted me to join with you in some liquor business
Why not we think about it now?
You then said you are not keen on that business
when I came to your office to discuss about it
You insulted and chucked me out
- Don't you remember that, sir? - I am extremely sorry Vijay
My mood was very bad on that day
Please don't take it to heart
That's a... That's alright
I heard a news A stunning news
Your marriage with C.S's daughter is fixed
I tried for this alliance for my second son
But C.S. turned down then
How did you manage this?
So that is what made you keen on this business proposal once declined by you
What you heard is true sir but-
Just a minute
- Hello Vijay - Pavitra
I am at the hospital now
After leaving the hospital yesterday...
...I came to know you haven't even made a call
- Where are you? - Pavitra l-
- I am coming there - Then come fast
Merin's surgery is going on here
This girl is really
It was Pavitra Nambiar uncle's daughter
She wants to meet me immediately
She was pampered too much by him
I am busy with my work she doesn't understand that
So let me take leave of you
Then about the business proposal you made
I have to discuss with Nambiar uncle
He has strictly warned me shouldn't jump into any undesirable ventures
Okay?
Sorry, Pavitra I am little late
There was heavy traffic in motorway
It's okay Surgery is over
Doctor is talking to them
Oh
She has a fracture on her right leg and left half of the rib cage
Nothing seem to be worried about But this...this is unfortunate
Could have happened on the impact or in her attempt to brake falling on
However she got a really bad hit on her right wrist
She has developed a condition called radial nerve palsy
What we call drop wrist
In her present condition Merin is technically paralysed from her wrists down
But regarding treatment for her condition
I am sorry, there is nothing that we can do
How dare you talk a business deal with me...
...that day Prasad said to me and chucked me out of his office
And nowto discuss about the same business deal he has come to my office
More people would come to you
Once this marriage is over why Prasad all rogues in UK would come to you
Though you are a dirty guy...
...you had your share of bad times in life at lndia and UK
May be God compensates it this way
One can't say
I would have fallen now
Vijay, if things should move smoothly Nambiar's daughter should say 'yes'
If she remains like a cat on the wall, it may not be easy
You need not worry about that
Now I know how to impress her
Yes, brother
I have a God sent opportunity now
- Sorry - It's okay
Hi
Have they just shifted her?
Yes
Merin, this is Vijay
Hi Merin
Get well soon
Thank you
Merin that day it was my car that-
I am sorry
Did they say anything about her discharge?
No, minimum she may have to wait for 2 weeks
Oh
On her own she can't sit up or have food
Some one should be with her That's the present problem
That's not a problem at all All of us together can manage it
Any time you can call me Always at your service
Will it not be a nuisance amidst your busy schedule?
Not at all
Wherever I am I can do my business over phone
It is not about making money One should be a humane is it?
"Did you come opening the glass doors?"
"Did you throwfewflowers?"

- Vijay - Francis brother
-Where are you? - I am at office
I called you to talk about the girl Merin who met with the accident
We made a request to NHS to meet her hospital and other expenses
- They have rejected it - Why?
Merin came here on receipt of their offer letter
So she is their responsibility
That's all okay
But that's not what the Briton says
Merin's accident was not during duty time
Besides she hasn't yet joined them
On that score they have declined
My fear is on the plea she is physically unfit they may even fire her
Jeez! Let God forbid that brother you must somehow protect her
I will do whatever I can do
Anyway your association with Nambiar's daughter had made you humane
That's a good indication
For the first time I see you worried about another person
No, brother She is a poor girl
Okay
Brother, I want to lie down
You may take rest I would sit here quietly
Who is it? Who is calling?
That...
From lndia I will call them later
Dear, you may lie down
- Should I help you? - Not required
No problem I would help you
If it is not inconvenient, can you please get me some hot water?
Why do you say this? Will I not do anything foryou?
I would get you now?
- Hello - Sorry
I was in a situation where I couldn't attend the call
That's why l hung up the phone
What is that situation that you couldn't attend a call?
That...
Thambi Kuttychayan is here
Has he gone?
No, seems he would not leave
He is drunk too
- Is there no one else? - No, all of them are on duty
Merin dear, is the heat sufficient?
Enough...!
No...no I would hold it for you
Have it!
No, I would do it myself
Have it, dear Am I a stranger to you?
Take it away
That 's gone What's this, dear?
You sit in that chair Else I would call Gracy sister
Today her duty is in OTl
So your call may not reach her
Who is it?
Damn it
Might be Jessy sister
Open the door
No, else I would go
You need not I would go
What a surprise Thambi Kuttychayan?
You would have come probably to get rid of the cool
- What do you want? - Move away, brother
Where is Merin?
She must be upstairs
- I would see her there - What do you mean man?
Stay there
Hai Merin
How dare he walks in where the inmates are only women
I want to see what you would do
Hi
Dear, what is he doing here?
What?
- What have you got to do here? - Gosh I forgot to tell him about that
- Brother, come - What for?
Let me tell you why I came?
Come on, brother Merin, just a minute
It's burning
Your infliction is because of the cold
If you get a good burn you will get cured
If I come to knowyou approached the girl again with your dirty games
The next day your paper would publish your obituary
He has gone
He has gone to get some medicine urgently
Anyway I would leave this place only after someone returns from duty
Shall I tell you what is in your mind now?
Are you thinking this guy is a bigger bother than Thambi Kutty?
It is a call from lndia
Just a minute
Dad
No
I am on duty
No, didn't get yet
I know about it
Will I not send when I get?
Oh sorry sorry
I would start writing from tomorrow in detail
So I will call later, okay?
It's a habit from the days I studied nursing at Mangalore
No matter how many times I talk over phone
If he doesn't read a letter from me...
...he does not get satisfied
Then?
Have you not informed them about the accident?
No...not because of anything else
Few years ago my dad owned 10 to 12 buses
Later we lost every thing
Though dad would not agree after my mom's death he screwed up the business
On few occasions when he could not manage to hold on
He even tried to commit suicide
When I got a job here after a very long time...
...I saw him having a hearty laugh
He believes this would resolve all his problems
But if he comes to know about this
I fear Vijay My dad would...
Merin
You need not worry
Don't ever think there is no one for you
We are all-
Merin
'Why this sentiment for an interest monster?'
'To begin with that was my thought too'
'But first time in my life'
'My heart has over stepped a line drawn by my intellect'
Brother...
Which is the way to Kallupara?
Go straight!
Comes Paipadu and Kaviyur
From Kaviyur turn left you would reach Kallupara
Thanks, sir
I am not familiar with the southern side
Usually my trips are on the northern side
Do some southern trips too Suguna
For a change
I would do it, sir
To Mr.John Daniel...
To
Mr.
John...
Daniel...
Mattathu house...
Mattathu...

Kallupara P.O
Kallupara... P.O
Thiruvalla
Thiru...valla...
That's enough
Dad...! I honour my promise
I...
honour...
...my promise
With in 10 days you would get this letter
With in 10 days...
you would...
...get this letter
I write this trusting you
On reaching lndia in your busy schedule...
...if you forget to post this
I would cut a sorry figure before dad
That would never happen
The moment I get down from flight at Nedumbassery
I would post this letter
That will do
Then write the rest
'Though I said that to Merin'
'l decided much earlier on reaching lndia'
'This letter should be personally delivered to her house'
'Doing oblation for my dad and mom'
'Then few sundry business dealings'
'Collecting money owed by London's Mohan Das in pounds...'
'...as lndian rupees from his brother-in-law'
'From there straight to Kallupara'
'To Mattathu... John Daniel's house'
I can't wait any more John
I must get her number today
Even if it means losing few rupees
I want to know the real situation
Only because of her promise I am tolerating you
Thomas! She wouldn't do it deliberately...
There might be some...
Damn with her situation!
When I filed a case the other day everyone including you blamed me
I knew it would happen like this only
Some one has come there
Let me check dad
Girl...Ieave that broom here
- Keep it with you - Damn it...!
- Is this Merin's house? -Yes
Greet you
I am Vijay Vijay Das
Coming from London I am Merin's friend
- I am Merin's dad - I understood
Come inside
Please sit down
- Malu...right? -Yes
Merin has said about you
Few chocolates
Specially sent by your sister
Take it
Thanks
If I am not mistaken may I know about this sir
I am Thomas their neighbour
What do you do...?
If I tell you what I do it would appear a dirty one...
...from your point of view Money lending
How about the local market here?
Is there a good scope?
No scope at all
Certain dirty fellows don't repay
Merin has sent this for you!
Except the letter and chocolates didn't she give anything else?
Other than that...
He may be ashamed to talk about that!
But I can talk about that
Many times he has borrowed money from me
Its interest and interest accrued on interest
He owes me a considerable amount!
That girl promised to repay me once she gets the London job
I stayed quiet temporarily on her assurance!
But it is 2 months since she left!
But I haven't got a penny yet!
I strongly suspect
It is a drama enacted by all of them!
You have reminded me I just forgot about it
Merin has handed over to me cash received as salary!
Please
Give that to me
How can you forget such things young man?
Doesn't matter It is suffice for 1 month's interest
So Johnny I am moving
There are some more bad debtors
So I take leave of you son
That's okay!
You said you have umpteen jobs back in lndia
But without informing me you have gone to my house
Given them the cash you had and has...
...returned with snacks from there!
Are you mad...?
Yes, a little?
It is a recent affliction!
Let me tell you...
To get that money back you may have to wait for a long time!
I can wait

Merin
Come here!
What is it, sister?
Did you see this?
'Young industrialist cruelly shatters Merin's life'
This is done by Thambi Kuttychayan!
Because of him a tragic incident happened in Merin's life
But he has no guilty conscience
Taking advantage of this in many other ways he is trying to utilise Merin
Our secret reports confirm this
He is following the business culture of the lndian Mafia
He has become a shame and threat to all Malayali's in UK!
Good morning
Good morning, sir!
Hello, sir
Hello Vijay Where are you?
At home?
No, sir...I just walked into my office
Good, I want to meet you right now
It's very urgent
Can you come to Derby Hotel?
Sure, sir
I will be there in 20
Thank you, Vijay
- Welcome - Thank you
- Hello, Vijay - Hi, sir
Come, sit down!
Meet my friends from Scotland
- Mr.Loly - Hi
- Mr.Steve - Hi
And Mr.Robins
- Hi - Hi
Could I have the file please?
Sure
They want your signature
Sir! This is...
Don't worry
Because I said to you
You need not sign without knowing what it is all about
In Scotland's lnverness there is Ben Nevis distillery
It is taken on lease in your name
This is an agreement for that
This lease agreement is to solve few legal problems
Afterwards you can make the distillery your own!
Sir I am...
...not that much prepared
Mr.Vijay, I wanted only your signature
So forget about the other things
Yes, man...this is my gift to you
After a very long time...
...my daughter said to me a very glad news!
Now she is ready to marry you!
Though you are outwardly ambitious
She says you are good at heart
I thought your well wisher
Francis must witness this
So I invited him too
Don't delay it any further
Come on, sign it
Sir...!
Just a minute
Sure...no problem
Francis brother Please come with me!
- What's it? - Please come
Might be to get my blessing
- One minute - Oh sure!
Here is my legs Come on do it
- What...? - Blessing!
It is not that Francis brother
Then what?
I won't sign that agreement
Why...?
What about Merin, brother?
So as I guessed Thambi kutty's news item was not wrong!
Is that so?
Then tell this to Nambiar also
Few minutes ago...
...he asked about this to me casually!
- Francis brother l... - What else is this?
Don't you think what you said now is lousy?
All those in London who knows you both know very well about this proposal!
Until nowthe girl was blocking this move
But nowwhen she agrees you
I warn you again You don't know about Nambiar
Dear Vijay
Merin is a good girl
Not merely you all of us like her
But it is all out of sympathy
Since I knowyou very well
I again tell you for sure
Out of excitement declining the prosperity...
...that comes your way if you marry Merin
Very soon you will regret forthat
You will hate her That is your nature
But Francis brother her present plight
I understand
But Vijay...this is not a solution for that
You help her financially
Give her and her family all that is required for sustenance
This alliance will get you more than you require
What else you want?
If we delay any further Nambiar would get suspicious
Come
Merin
This is for you
- Is it for me? -Yes, it is from NHS
Shall I open it?
From what Nambiar said...
...I think the marriage date is approaching
Just 20 days left for November 2nd
Though Pavitra doesn't want it to be ostentatious
We should invite our close friends
- Hello Merin - Vijay
I received a letter from NHS
Because I am physically unfit they have cancelled my appointment
It says using their visa...
...I can stay here only up to 30th
What should I do, Vijay?
Merin l...
Merin, I am Francis Vijay's friend
Don't worry
Today itself I will contact NHS...
...and get an appointment to meet HR Manager
Let us try to explain your plight to them
- If they empathise... - Okay
After getting appointment I will call you
- Ok bye - Merin
Francis brother
Don't stare at me
I deliberately prevented you from talking to her
You would again give false hopes to that girl
Mr.Francis
At the NHS...we have to follow certain rules and regulations
And when we have made a decision in this particular case...
...after checking up this procedural case
I don't think we can do a recheck over it
Sorry!
Ma'am I mean on humanitarian grounds...
If you can...
See Mr.Francis, the best NHS can offer is a compensation...
...and a ticket back to lndia That's all
That's not all... How does it work...?
Merin is here on your invitation
So she is your responsibility
Ma'am, I really beg you to help me in this situation
Please consider me as a care assistant...
...at one of the small nursing homes
Please!
I don't know how I will get back home this way
Merin...I will pray for a miracle foryou
I am so sorry
There is nothing more that I can do
I feel so helpless
Dear...don't weep
Merin...!
Hello, sir Welcome to Ben Nevis
Thank you
This way
Please take your seat, sir
Sorry, sir!
Cell phones are prohibited in the plant
It may cause a chemical reaction
- Oh sorry - That's fine, sir
- Has Francis brother come? - He is in upstairs
Have you come?
How is the distillery gifted to prospective son-in-law by Nambiar?
Distillery is stupendous
In fact it is beyond our dreams
But it has started suffocating me
Without informing me he gifted this to me
I get the feeling it was a gratis to me
You would feel it, dear
Because you've started to attend humanist classes in the evening
Else many...people would have seen your other side
That reminds me
Have you heard about Merin's case...?
Gosh...
I switched off the phone when she called me today morning
I forgot to switch it on again Let me call her
Wait
Before you call
We took her to NHS today
Merin may have to go back to lndia by this month end
No other alternatives for that
You need not worry about that
Merin is mature enough to comprehend
I would make her understand about your situation
Then...whatever you have decided about helping her issue a cheque...
...in her name and give it to me
I would give it to her
Giving a cheque to her...?
Brother...what are you talking?
If you really want to help her at this time this is what you should do
- Were you sleeping? - No
Come!
I am now coming from NHS...
...1000 pounds and air ticket
Gratis shown on compassionate grounds
The ticket is booked for 27th
Don't worry on this score
We are all with you
Have you seen this?
Vijay has sent this for you
What is it?
A gift to you from him
Until such time there is a solution to all your problems...
...to lead a comfortable life foryou and yourfamily
He has given you an amount in this
Don't think about anything else
Take this, dear
When Vijay was 17 their Kolkata business...
...crumpled and his parents committed suicide
Somehow he managed to come here
And presently he is in this stage
So no one else here can understand you better than him
I have understood that, brother
This cheque testifies that
Certainly!
Francis brother told me about your marriage
But I may not be able to attend your marriage
For coming 27th they have booked the ticket for me
Merin, l...
Thinking about my plight you need not get tensed
I will recoup from all these
I will come back in life I have that confidence
But the gift given by you would be a hindrance for that
I knowyou gave this so that I would not suffer
But I don't want this now
Please take this back
Please Vijay...
Merin, l...
I didn't give this for...
I merely said now I don't want this
In case I need it in future
I will ask you
I always have that freedom
But I wanted to meet you for another purpose
You know Vijay ever since I came here...
...other than the hospital and nearby places
I haven't gone anywhere
If it is not inconvenient
Only if it is not inconvenient
Can you take me around for a trip?
"Pristine clouds swing"
"Glassy encamp at heaven's brink"
"Can reach there?"
"Will you come butterfly"

Shall I leave, Gracy sister
Hello... Ah Sara
Ya...we have reached
Ya we will come there
Okay Sara, bye
Vijay, a friend of mine is in Kuwait Airways- Sara
She would help Merin for checking in
She would accompany you up to aircraft
I would leave her with Sara
Come, Merin
Shall I leave...?
Friends colleagues Ladies and gentlemen
Thank you all for coming here
Some of you might find the motive behind this occasion a trifle baffling...
...considering my lovely daughter Pavitra
Getting married in three days time
So this get together is to formally introduce my future son in law
Mr.Vijay Das to all of you
Pavitra and Vijay please
Go
Vijay is new to us
In fact he is new to our circle and to this strata of society
When I talked about this proposal...
...many of my friends talked to me as though
I am going to commit some big folly
Me and my daughter were blackmailed by Vijay to make us accept this
Some people in this group even thought in those lines
But I strongly believe
Vijay is a bright young man and my daughter and my legacy...
...are safe in his hands
So I welcome Vijay to our August group of friends
Let's celebrate
Hello
Are you sure?
What's it Vijay?
What happened?
Who called you?
It was Gracy
- Merin... - Merin?
Merin has not yet reached home
Are you sure? Oh that's fine
Ok...thank you Sara
I will call you later It was Sara's call
Merin has alighted at Nedumbassery airport
She has inquired with airlines
Anyway with Merin's passport details
I have sent a mail to lndian emigration department
But you know about our system
Perhaps they might reply
My strong suspicion is...
...she would have taken some extreme steps
Because her plight is so
No point in this round table conference
Must enquire...
One of us must go to lndia and enquire
If required I would go
Oh that's good
Then ticket and other expenses I would meet
No...no one need to go
I would go I must go
Vijay did you really mean that...
...you would go to enquire about Merin...?
Yes!
Then what about our marriage scheduled after 2 days?
I don't know Pavitra
I don't know anything
I only knowwhat I do now is a big mistake
First to Merin and nowto you I can mend only one of the two mistakes
I am going only for that
I must go
May I come in?
Sure
I made many calls to you
Pavi is very upset
What we business people think she may not understand
When things reach a point where anything can be demanded
Then utilise it to the maximum
That is business Is it not?
Sir...I
Anyway you may have an idea about my wealth
So nowyou can ask
Sir...what I said to Pavitra
What I said to Pavitra is true
What...? Are you such a fool?
I don't believe it
Do you believe after insulting me and my daughter before the entire society?
You can leave this place?
Never
So forget everything else
Cheer up
You are getting married in 2 days
Okay?
If it is not so
Hey stop
What damn are you doing?
Are you blind?
Come and get in to the car
Nambiar sir wants to meet you urgently
I have to...
I have to go to lndia urgently
I would meet him on my return, tell sir
How can you talk like that?
Nambiar sir asked us to bring you to him
Come on... Iet's go
Clear your hands off me
Leave me
Stop it
What's going on here?
Leave him
I said leave him
Who instructed you?
I asked who instructed you?
Nambiar sir asked us to bring him
Did daddy say?
Did daddy ask you to tussle in middle of the road?
Nonsense
Vijay, one minute
Vijay you may go No one would prevent you
But before that you must meet daddy once
Please...
Else what you do can never be justified
It would become a covert fleeing
Please...
Sir
You are not as I thought you to be
Your emotional intelligence is very poor
That's ok It will change
This is an agreement for transferring 30%...
...of my share in my entire wealth including the distillery
This one is to cancel the existing lease agreement with you and Ben Nevis
You can sign either of them
Perhaps this may be the most crucial signature of your life
So do the right thing
I can do only this sir
The mistake is mine
Mine only
My mind is now very far away...
...from what you have offered me now
I realised it very late
But if I still lie to myself
It would be my biggest to you and Pavitra betrayal
I want nothing sir Nothing
Allow me to go
Please...
I shouldn't have looked for a guy who could carry on my business
I should have looked for a guy who would love my daughter
Anyway it was my fault
Sir l...
You need not wait any longer
Go... Just go
Then
First time a guy is walking out in front of me smartly
So thank my daughter at least in your mind
Poor girl
She did her best to convince me
Let's go
If we delay any further you may miss the flight
So ok Vijay Wish you all the best
On reaching lndia...
May you find Merin as quickly as possible
Thank you Pavitra
Good luck
Hello Francis brother...
No I have just reached
Howwas the journey?
Not bad
- Did Pavitra call you? - No
What is it?
She called me some time ago
She said if I could reach you to inform you...
...to reach Merin's house as soon as possible
What happened brother?
Any idea about what it is?
No, she didn't say anything
But she was very tensed
Lousy job in this rain
These utensils...
Bring it man
Clean and keep it here
Why do you bring these broken things?
Bring it man Keep it there
Bring that Bring that here
Don't break it
Bring it here
They will have only these things
When did the London sir come...?
Finally they have made me earn the bad name that I have pushed them to streets
What to do? There is no other go
Merin...?
That reminds me...
If some people are extended help beyond a limit even God doesn't like it
Else howwill the girl who went to London...
...to earn a fortune return losing her hand?
It is all one's destiny
Do it carefully man
Don't annoy me unnecessarily
Sister
It is for you
Hello?
Merin
It is Pavitra
She wants to talk to you
- Hello - Vijay
Did what I said happen?
As soon as you reached lndia you could soon find Merin
Pavitra
Only when we lose something for ever...
...we realise it was so precious to us
With 10000 pounds you wanted to settle your love
But for that wisdom to dawn on you...
...before me you had to
Sorry
Now not only you
All of us understand
Your love for Merin was genuine
Any way when you return to London
I will look forward to meet Mr and Mrs Vijay Das
Bye Vijay
Sorry
I am late
Very much
