- Vasudeva...? - Coming
'Adityapuram Palace 41 years ago'
Vsudev...? - Coming
Vasudeva
Yes, father?
They are about to open the treasury
My brother Mahendra Varma and his son Shekara Varma are opening it
All that wealth was hoarded and guarded by my father
While my father's brother and his sons chewed betel leaves and played chess...
...now they want to claim equal share in the wealth
- Should I allow that? - No, don't, father
Then come with me
Srikrishna, let's go
Father, he's just a kid
I was only 13 when my hands held a weapon
He's younger only by a year, that's all
Come along
Don't be scared
Ravindra, let's not clash
I'm only following what your father,
my brother, instructed me before he died
Equal rights to the wealth inside this treasury
Absolutely not
The entire treasure belong only to me and my children
Thank you for opening the coffers
Come, my children
Stop, Ravindra Don't be autocratic
Mahendra, get out of my way
Ravindra!
Move
I said get away
Move aside
I won't, not even if I have to die
Move!
My son...!
What happened, my child?
Father
My dearest child! What happened?
Oh dear Goddess!
'Following this revolution in the palace...'
'...discussions were held between Govt officials and the royal family'
'The palace astrologer conducted a divine query'
'It was deciphered the blood spilt within the treasury...'
'...had evoked the wrath of the Goddess which caused the crystal to burst'
'After 7 days of redemptive rituals and appeasement to the deity...'
'...it was decided to lock and seal the treasury for 41 years'
'After 41 years, it will be shared equally among 4 legal heirs'
'In the presence of mediators and witnesses...'
'...the heirs signed the legal documents'
'Mahendra Varma's sons Shekara Varma and Rajashekara Varma'
'Ravindra Varma's sons Vasudeva Varma and Srikrishna Varma'
'...were named the future heirs in the legal document'
'The doors were locked with 4 padlocks
and keys handed over to the future heirs'
'Royal palace came under the governance of the family trust'
'Mr Fraud'
Nothing like that
Just a sec
Maria...?
Excuse me
Yes, sir
- Maria - Yeah...?
No one has heard about the singer you've arranged
She's my only daughter
And I'm spending millions on this wedding
Couldn't you have finalized...
...Sonu Nigam or Shreya Ghosal for this pre-nuptial bash?
Instead this unknown bloke What was his name?
Some random John Cliff
Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal are undoubtedly great singers, sir
But they are too familiar for the crowd That's why I finalized John Cliff
And you know what? He's a pure Malayali
He left for Jamaica when he was 20 totally hooked on to Bob Marley's songs
Globe-trotter and a vagabond musician
Now he's back in India after 30 years
This is his 1st program for our sake after his return
Trust me, sir
John Cliff is going to rock the night
A fusion of reggae and Indian music That too with Malayalam lyrics
That's what he has promised
Let it be whatever fusion but not end up in confusion!
- You take care of everything - Okay sir, will do
My daughter's father-in-law may be a billionaire NRI
But he remains in his heart a common villager
He hinted we give him today the promised 1 billion in cash
Take the cash bundles Leave it in our suite
Ladies and gentlemen May I have your attention please?
Let's welcome on stage the great vagabond musician
John Cliff
His first ever 'live' performance in India
You guys have a rocking time
Hey! Come Let's see
''Beautiful moonlight as you sparkled bright''
''Clouds amidst in my heart a tryst''
''Moon's rays of radiance as you flash a glance''
''Branches of silence in my soul as essence''
''Tinted moonlight Touch me and take flight''
- Hey you look pretty - Thank you so much
Great couple
''As time rides its chariot over in enameled fields in summer''
''Even now I move on burning with pain forlorn''
''This heartbeat is just a second long
Realizing my life on earth is a love song''
''My desires attest Sweet it is to forget''
''Forever without end''
''Shimmering moonlight Dazzling desirous delight''
''Clouds vapory in my heart's treasury''
''On the shores when a tempest is on the warpath of unrest''
''I shall rush ahead; no delays like a rain laden wind always''
''To relieve my burden; in proximity
Singing my love's verses of immortality''
''Like a poem written but erased my life remains a secret encased''
''Moon's rays of radiance in the blaze of your glance''
''Branches of silence in my soul as essence''
''Tinted moonlight Touch me and take flight''
Welcome Bhai ji
Can I get you a drink?
- No - Please
Bhai ji, everything went smooth just as you planned
Tom Kurien did not file a case
Dowry is a criminal offence
No source for the cash
And scandal hushed up
Maria...? She is in deep trouble
He thinks she is the kingpin behind this robbery
So her chapter is closed
Beyond a few multimedia presentations and 14 YouTube links, being ignorant...
...about the history of John Cliff is Maria's mistake
Let her pay for it
Javed, 100 million Your share is in this bag
Thank you, Bhai ji
You are the only one to pay so promptly just for information
Are you feeling guilty for accepting 'gawking wages'?
It's alright There are different meanings
One of it is to be paid for being a mere spectator
But I did something without your permission
Don't be angry with me It's a great opportunity
And like nothing we've ever done before
That's how huge it is And I couldn't resist the bait
Shall I ask him in?
Bhai ji, this is-
Hi I am Nikhil Atharva
But you can call me Niki
You can call me anything
I have many names
Many faces
Interesting
I have heard lots about you from Javed
I'm impressed
But I am not
Javed, tell him why I am here
Didn't you always say you want to end everything with a final deal?
This is it
This is Adityapuram palace in Kerala
Here occurred bloodshed over wealth and land issues long ago
And the palace treasury was sealed
A rare treasure trove of gold ornaments and precious stones
Worth many billions
The heirs are Ravindra Varma's sons Vasudeva and Srikrishna
And Mahendra Varma's children Shekara and Rajashekaran
Vasudeva Varma's sons are Trivikrama and Pratap
And Srikrishna Varma's daughter is Damini
Shekara Varma's only son is Sudhakar
Rajashekar's daughters are Rukmini and Gowri
These people are rich, influential and tough
When the time came to open the treasury
totally unexpected development-
Stop!
Wait before you look up an auspicious day to open the royal treasury
Mr Lawyer, I have got a stay order from the court
Stay order?
Why?
The royal family can't claim the wealth in the treasury
It belongs to the public is my contention
Treasure amassed from taxes, coercion, harassment, looting in wars is not ours
It is not right for us 'common people' to share it within our family only
Let the court decide
After that we can open the treasury
Rajashekar, don't you bring in your communism here
We've been waiting to claim this wealth all these years
Now don't provoke us with such unnecessary objections
I am well aware
The sword you struck my brother with,
is still safe in the armory like a souvenir!
If you have dubious intentions better delete them once for all
I am not Shekara Varma
Ahimsa blood doesn't flow in my veins
Like a comrade once said...
...I'm a communist with a strong heart who can return any number of blows
Don't you dare threaten me!
You are going against the word of honor given by our father
We differ in our beliefs and ideals
Forgive me, brother
The stay order from the court is still in effect
And the treasure is in the cellar
You will steal it
How and when...? That is your call
And the terms between us
Out of the total loot,
In cash
I trade only with God 50 for me, 50 for Him!
Since I am my own God His share is also mine
Please understand There is a 3rd party involved
Unknown entity
Come on Be reasonable
What is your part then?
I am a humble trader
I'll sell anything for anyone
I don't bargain with street vendors
My price is 5 billion
No discounts No additions
Nor percentages
2500 million to be paid in 2 days
Balance at the end of the mission and when assets change hands
How can I trust you?
You asked for it
Impossible Simply impossible
What if you fail?
What if I fail?
Javed, tell him, Lord of Death is never questioned about his life span!
He means business
Let's do this
Sajan?
Hey! Sajan
Who the heck?
Sorry, sir Why are you here, sir?
Good question...to ask why I am in my own office?
Goodness! Your office? Then why am I here?
Dude, I sent word for you
Numbskull! Come inside
I expect minimum decorum when you come to meet me
Look at yourself
Shabby and untidy and reeking of cheap rum
With the pittance I earn will I buy scotch whiskey?!
What are you muttering to yourself?
Nothing, sir
Superintendent of Police has reported
you slink away after signing in the register
So that rascal has got me into trouble
If you have any opinion say it aloud... don't swear
No use at all making me sit there in the name of computerization
The only 'window' I know is the one you see there
Then I am going to shift you
Where to?
Oh! Gandhi?
They have decided to open the Adityapuram palace cellar
They claim the coffers are overflowing
The royal heirs with divided opinion have become sworn enemies
As much enmity to each other as the years they haven't met
You know the ex-MLA Rajashekaran Varma?
He is one of the legal heirs
He has filed a case asking the Govt to take over the wealth
Dog in the manger! This is the problem with communists
Won't eat nor allow us to eat
They are to blame for all my troubles
You listen to me first
We got this report from the junior office
Since this has reached the media a robbery of unexpected nature is likely
Your presence is essential at the palace
On the sly surveillance
I agree, sir
I won't allow anyone to steal that treasure
I will put him behind bars
'I must fix a deal with that fraud'
'And I must demand some percent of the loot'
'I can then resign from this petty post and then it is celebration time'
We were waiting for you
All of you must be here to take some decisions regarding the case
Mr Lawyer, explain everything
King Rajashekaran stands alone opposed by the rest of the family
Don't address me like royalty You can call me by name
The court will come to a decision only after hearing both sides
We can also ask the Govt's opinion
Treasures in the cellar must remain in 'as is where is' basis with high security
But there is a hitch
No one has been able to provide a list of the treasures in the cellar
We have an approximate idea of its value only
So we must assess the value of items by a mediator acceptable to both sides
This must be submitted in court within three weeks
Mr A S Shivaram, a private consultant in Jaipur and he is a Malayali
There are very few qualified in assessing such precious artifacts
I don't know him personally
But he was suggested by a reliable, close friend
If all of you agree we can proceed
- We need to think over it - Not necessary
We can go along with uncle's suggestion
Let Shivaram assess the treasure
She knows what she is talking, brother
We agree
Make arrangements for him to come
I am Damini, daughter of Srikrishna Varma
- What are you doing now, my dear? - Property development in Mumbai
Your husband?
I haven't fallen into that trap as yet
Can the court be informed about Shivaram?
Please inform me also
About everything
I am Sajan
Intelligence DySP
Varma sir? How are things with you?
Ages since we met, right?
We are old friends
I've understood the issues here
During the evaluation I will also be inside the cellar
We didn't ask for security So who invited you here?
What the heck!
There are only 2 uninvited guests
One is death and the other is police
We were warned of a possible robbery
My presence is just a precaution
Ever since the media hyped about the wealth in our treasury...
...we arranged our own security
We have assigned Bluefox India's topmost security to protect us
So your service isn't needed here
May I speak, father?
Yes
Good to have additional police surveillance
When Govt offers a service why should we avoid it?
What do you say, Rajashekara?
I agree
Okay, Mr Sajan You can go ahead
We will co-operate
Varma sir 1 minute
We can't renew old friendship in front of others, right?
There isn't anything to renew
I don't forget easily
Also I've heard many stories about you
If you reveal anything in a drunken stupor...
...I'll simply kill and bury you
Varma sir, don't worry
What is between us will remain a secret
No one will ever know anything
How can you stop now? Why this sudden decision?
I'm really bored That's why
If you don't enjoy what you do you must stop doing it
I am glad, end of my career will be in Kerala
To end where it all began
It is about 15 years since I've stepped into Kerala
What about you guys?
Is that important?
Don't have a long face
Listen, Abbas
You've been with me for 7 years
After this mission you go your way
I want to be with you always
No, Abbas
I've always been a loner Hereafter totally by myself
There is nothing personal among us
Don't carry any emotional baggage
Priya, you are secure after the last deal
So...you aren't needed in this
Yeah, I'm safe
Life has been a fairy tale after meeting you
But I need sleeping pills if I want to sleep
In your language 'my emotional baggage'
Guilt
Hey...no
Haven't you heard?
No one owns anything in this world
Anyone can take anything even if it belongs to another
How can it be called looting or robbery?
You must never feel guilty
I too want to be a part of this last lap of your journey
You don't have to pay me
I just want to be with you in your last outing
Free service I'm not for it
Love, obligation and gratitude Not at all necessary
Everything is as usual
We are equals and we go equal
We go equal
But you are first among equals
Where is the newspaper?
Hello?
Who are you?
Hey...hello?
- Good morning - Who are you?
- Me? - Then me, huh?
The one you've been waiting for?
- Me? - Yes
Oh! Then you can go to the backyard
You'll find the cowshed there
Cowshed?
Yes
Veterinary hospital head said he would send someone to inseminate the cows
Gawd! You misunderstood me
I haven't come to make the cows or anyone else here pregnant!
It's a policy I stick to!
Who is it, Saraswathi?
I can't place you
I am Shivaram from Hoard Consultancy
Jaipur
I was asked to assess the palace treasures...
...by your lawyer and give a report to the court
Are you Mr Shivaram?
Yes
What are you doing?
- Don't move - You are taken
Indeed a surprise, Mr Shivaram I was not informed of your arrival
I was in Tanjore So I took a train
I reached early morning
I settled down in the portico not to disturb you so early
Good, now you can freshen up
After breakfast we can go to the palace
Your accommodation has been arranged there
My dear, open the room on top for Shivaram
Ensure the bathrooms have fresh towels
Okay, you can go up
Go inside
Anything else for you?
A cup of black coffee if it's not a botheration for you?
Not at all
You heard him, dear?
Shivaram
Excuse me
I was just simply looking at the palace
Why do you need binoculars for that?
Aren't you going there anyway?
Looking from far and near are 2 different views altogether
Some things have to be seen from far and some nearby
And some must be first seen from afar and then near
Coffee
Some things must never be seen!
Good coffee
That always makes my day
Towel
Soap?
Thank you
Mohanam is beautiful
What?
Most beautiful among all ragas is Mohanam
Your prelude this morning was awesome
So you weren't asleep Just pretending
Why would I pretend? I was really asleep
Actually there is a state between sleep and wakefulness
That was when Mohanam nudged me
That was a great wake up call
Oh! Let me shower
Something is amiss
Why this sudden visit from all of you?
Come inside
No need! We have not come to socialize
Father, haven't you harassed us enough?
You squandered wealth intended for our family to your political party
And now when we may get something substantial, you've filed a lawsuit
Assets of the palace is public property, eh?!
Aren't you ashamed?
I do feel ashamed Not for the lawsuit
But for giving birth to 2 children like you
Before matters turn complicated we want a last round of discussion
Then you don't have to waste your time
Don't you understand?
I don't know how to ask you to get out in a more civil manner
Dad, phone
- Who is it, my dear? - From the palace
Ask them to call later
I'll ask dad to call you
Dad?!
Are you shameless?
Moment you stepped in here we lost our father and home
One day we will settle all scores
If not today, tomorrow
Sister, such dialogs are obsolete
Just stare and turn around to walk away is today's style
And a music score in support too
Come
Even though I joked I am upset, dad
Isn't it true what they said?
Problems began only after I came?
Everything turned right only after your arrival
Really?
Really
Come
My children-
Shall we have breakfast?
Sure
My dear, will you lay the table?
Come, Shivaram
We got a mail from Bluefox asking for more security guards
I was replying-
Greetings, uncle
My older brother Shekara Varma
Greetings
He heads our royal family now
Brother, he is Shivaram
Royalty doesn't count I'm just another citizen
Mr Shivaram, I heard you're a Malayali?
- Which part of Kerala are you from? - Sasthamkotta
But I have no one there now
I'm advocate Idiculla When can we start evaluation?
Tomorrow
My 2 colleagues will come now Our machines have to be set up
Very sorry, Mr Shivaram
Only you are allowed to enter the treasury
Your assistants will have to wait outside
Why?
Only Mr Shivaram's name is recorded in the court
Other than Shivaram, during evaluation those allowed inside can only be...
...heirs, court officials, lawyer Idiculla and me
Nonsense!
We'll get permission for his assistants too
No need
Their main job is...
...to assist with data and software
They need not come in
How many days are required to finish this job?
Depends on the quantity to be assessed
I haven't seen the properties as yet
Let me see
Then I can tell you the number of days I need
Okay, see you
Good morning, Bhai ji
Hi Bhai ji
So everything is as planned
Under no circumstance should you leave the caravan, Abbas
Unless and until I tell you
Sure
The person watching us now is DySP Sajan
A troublemaker
He's intelligent and absolutely corrupt
You know brains and corruption is a deadly combination
Deal with him carefully
- So catch you later - Fine
Is your room comfortable?
Yes
If you need anything don't hesitate to ask
I don't want anything
I'm fine
When your name was suggested by my uncle, none of us opposed him
We only expect you to be fair
We looked up your firm on the net and we were convinced
My job is to only evaluate
How does 'unfair' come into it?
Apart from evaluation we expect unconditional co-operation from you
You will come to know by and by
Unless I know what exactly you want from me, I find it difficult to reply
There may be families still living engulfed in nostalgia of royal life
But we are different
We are businessmen playing with millions in the market
And we always mean business
I am a professional I don't do business
There is always a 1st time, right?
A day you can begin for the first time?!
Sure...like a day when everything will end too
Haven't you heard?
The doomsday
You are a tough nut We are impressed
We will let you know what we want next time we meet
You can then give us a solid hand shake
Let's see
Hi! I'm Damini Varma
I know
Your salt and pepper 'look' is very hot
- Really? - Yes
You have the attitude of a seasoned player
You are a huge turn on
Nowadays I have lost interest
A kind of disinterested indifference
Anyway, thank you for your enticing words
(holy chants)
The Goddess is appeased
Okay
Heirs can hand over the keys to the court official
I can help him
Okay
Not necessary
It's not time for evaluation as yet
He's only helping to unlock the door
No need
It isn't the evaluator's job
Sajan
You are here to ensure things go smoothly
Not interfere in what Shivaram does
Please go ahead, Shivaram
No one must enter now
This place has to be purified
And the king must light a lamp for the Goddess
Now that I have cleansed the deity Your Highness can light the lamp
This chest contains the documents prepared...
...before the treasury was locked, along with its keys
The rituals are over, right?
The priest can step out
Now this is a work place
I will tell you what to do
As specified before only 4 people can enter
Before the evaluation begins some precautions must be taken
All of you must co operate
I am in charge here
This place should never be in darkness even for a moment
We need light even if the generator fails
Are you ready, Shivaram?
Tools are okay but not the camera
Sir, no photography
Nothing can be photographed Especially items you examine
Strictly for security reasons
Please proceed, sir
I'm about to begin my work
You can categorize the items
And prepare your list accordingly
From now on I am in charge
I won't take orders from anyone
Is that clear?
Okay
Emerald from ancient Persia
Weighs 4.1 gm
Belongs to the period between 1750 and 1800
Let us count
This is one of the most risky missions I've ever attempted
There are 5 factors making this almost a 'mission impossible'
The position of the treasury
Under the hawk eyes of Bluefox state of the art security machines
Proximity of Sajan a shrewd police officer
And the presence of other members always
Huge quantity of my targeted objects
I have a precise plan
But no alternative moves in any of my plans
There is no place for Lady Luck or unexpected turn of events
This final game is actually very thrilling
I am excited
I have few more things to share
Wait for me in the van
Start duplicating these keys
These are the detailed sketches of some major palaces of Kerala
You must analyze them
They also house similar treasuries
Work on them in detail
Yes, Bhai ji
Wi-Fi transmissions are active, aren't they?
Yes, Bhai ji
Data will start pouring in from tomorrow
Keep going, guys
Greetings!
A visitor to see you from Coimbatore
Whose has asked you to murder me?
A big shot
Business secrets should not be revealed
Shall I finish my work?
You appeared like God from shards of wood
Who are you, man?
A lion or Lord Narasimha?
Why did you come here?
Simply...to play
I've repeated countless times this action of removing my watch
So let it remain this time
I was expecting this ever since I filed the case
Who do you think was behind this attack?
Could be anyone
Most probably my own children!
What's the point of sulking like this?
Is this the 1st time I've been attacked?
But I'm amazed how you came at that precise moment to save me
I stopped work early today
Felt tired, so I just went out for a drive
And reached at the exact time when Varma sir was attacked
A very strange coincidence
That is called luck
We also call it planning
She is your daughter, hmm?
Go inside, my dear
You seem to be an expert in martial arts also, eh?
People say I am expert in all kinds of arts, Sajan sir
Shall I take leave?
I don't want to be formal and thank you
Not at all necessary
Thanks
But what happened was not unexpected
There is a reason
Actually who are you?
It's a feeling I can't shrug ever since I met you
You are not upfront
There is something dubious
Tell me Who are you?
Me?
Don't tell anyone
I am Shivaram
I did not ask your name
Are you...
...are you a fraud?
May be I'm a fraud
Hi boss We've landed
He insists on meeting you ever since he landed here
So I had to bring them here
Look who I have brought along with me
Hello I am Shivaram
From Hoard consultancy, Jaipur
So am I
Who are these new avatars?
2 men in 1 place with same identity
It's weird
What do you say in Malayalam?
It isn't good at all
Yes, not good at all
But for whom is the question!
'What I thought was 1, now appears as 2
My sorrow is inexplicable knowing so'
Bhai ji, chill Let's talk
Yeah, let's talk
So this Shivaram is actually a fraud
Nikhil's arrival with that man...
...Bhai ji, be careful
I had told him I wanted to communicate certain things
But as you said his arrival was a bit dramatic
Getting Shivaram on his side is a threat to you, Bhai ji
If we get him into trouble he will get back at us
That is why he has brought Shivaram here
He coolly pitched in with them knowing the stakes are high
If he thinks all this will threaten me his brain must be sadly wanting!
Anyway let us meet him
Good to see you, Bhai ji Very good to see you
I'll also call you 'Bhai ji' like everybody else
Because none of us even know your name
When he said you wanted to discuss something with me...
...I just thought l'll fly down and meet you
That's good
But your show of getting him here to threaten me was a dirty move
Bhai ji-
Well, you can't be anything else but dirty
Bhai ji, don't misunderstand
Bittu's gang you had arranged in Jaipur to hold him in custody wasn't reliable
That's why we hauled him here
But this pig now wants a share in our deal
Come
Don't try to soft pedal this issue with your most pitiful brains, Javed
He is a precaution So I don't double cross you
But whatever the precaution...
...if I make up my mind, you had it from me
Ask him not to irritate me
Bhai ji
Give it to him
See this
You have to replicate all these materials
I know he has the necessary man-power and machinery for it
Diamonds, pearls, emeralds and other precious stones
Collect their duplicates Try the African market
I have specified the quantity
Wrap them in red velvet
Make arrangements to bring the whole lot in 12 boxes
Within 20 days
It is short notice But it has to be done
Tough task
But this, I can do it
Good
If everything goes as planned...
...within 21 days, treasure will be lost forever
Till then...!
He is dangerous
But I am fit
Hire more workers if you want
But before the rains concreting must be done
You carry on I'll be back
Come, Shivaram
How is your arm, sir?
That can be ignored
If it's no trouble you can drop the 'sir' and call me comrade
It's a joy to hear it from people who are sincere and affectionate
But within our party...
...sworn enemies call each other comrade
This school...?
A school for the kids here with least expense and best of education
When this desire was born I sold everything to start it
Do you see?
Work is incomplete There is a lot to be done
I need lots of money
I don't have enough resources in my hands
You also know by now Saraswathi is not my daughter
I brought her home as an orphan 15 years back
But today I prefer to say I have only one daughter
Even if I die she'll live here with dignity
She must help others to live progressively
That's how the idea for a school was born
She runs the school now
I'm not afraid of hurdles
But the attack that day has really shaken me up
I'm worried I may not be able to complete my responsibilities
That won't happen, comrade
I just felt like talking to you
That's why I asked you to come
How many days more to complete evaluation?
At the most 10 days
Did you hear?
Our family trust has decided to use the treasure to build a heritage resort
Potential foreign investors have been invited to a party and musical night...
...by our new generation
I heard about it
As the saying goes...
...fools rush in where angels fear to tread
''Protect me permanently Oh lotus-eyed deity Parvati''
''Goddess Shakthi Embrace me''
''Oh lotus eyed deity, envelop me Your beauty is ethereal for eternity''
''Effortless effulgence''
''Protective Goddess Perfectly peerless''
''Epitome of beauty matchless''
''Oh Goddess lotus eyed Beauty unrivalled far and wide''
''Provide me sanctuary''
''Your divine words of honey''
''Auspicious one! Your words honeyed Dispeller of sins of the good hearted''
What?
''Oh lotus eyed Shakthi, shield me Your beauty is beatific superlatively''
''Protect me, Goddess Parvati''
This is a song sung often by someone I loved very much
Let this remain a secret between us
Give this to your dad I had borrowed it
Tonight we begin
These spots that I have marked show the position of security guards
Between these 2 spots here is a hub of the CCTV
Priya, you must ensure this hub is jammed
But control room server usually has a software that checks
It checks every 30 minutes
So we get exactly half an hour for the operation
That's fine
You jam the CC TV circuit at sharp 1'o clock
You will help me break in
And I'll join you back at sharp 1:30
But Bhai ji, inside the cellar what's the plan of action?
Sketches of the cellars in 4 major palaces of Kerala
All 4 have 1 common factor
A secret door which is not obvious at first sight
A secret door leading to the outside world through a tunnel
In case of wars or any other emergency...
...stuff from the treasury were shifted through this tunnel
Won't some family member or at least Shekara Varma know of its existence?
I feel he may not know
When the treasury was locked up long ago
the king definitely would have known
But since there was bloodshed he would not have revealed...
...this secret to the next generation
A precaution he took to ensure no one had access to the treasury
Then how do we find that secret door?
It takes time And plenty of luck
Luck doesn't count
Logic is what matters
Architecture from the 16th century onwards...
...shows every door has at least one bit of metal
It's a general theory
If this metal scanner is used inside the treasury walls...
...we get the required result
Guess I can find the door
'3 hours before the mission'
So you think there could be a possible robbery here
Sir, do you know what is a good policeman's strong point?
Get feeling
I get the feeling
Something is about to happen here
The air around here has all signs of that build up
Do you suspect anyone?
Suspicion!
The outside world knows about this treasury only now
Thanks to the blown up hype given by our media
This may seem a golden opportunity for a big time gang or thief
There is another possibility
4 of you are entitled to this treasure
Then Rajashekaran filed the case
Now each one of you may want to grab the entire wealth for yourself
So may be it is an elaborate scheming?
Only Rajashekaran is responsible for all this
Isn't that why there was an attempt on his life?
Don't try to blow it out of proportion
If it comes to a stage where we have to bump him off...
...we are prepared to do that also
Hey! Leave him alone
He has suffered a lot in life
None of you know him
But I do
What do you know?
Forget it! I won't tell
It's a secret between us
Fine, don't tell
Let him drink himself to death
Let's go
You plan to get me drunk daily, eh?
Oh! Come on Tell me
What is that secret?
What's the status?
- I'm on it - Okay
I'm done
So far I have never asked You for anything
I am not asking You anything now either
I just want You to ensure these boxes reach their destination
I just thought I will tell you
So shall I start my work?
Now this is a secret between us
A secret we share along with 1 more person
Abbas, I am at the moment 1.5 km away from the palace
But the tunnel is just 1/2 km long
Okay, Bhai ji
He has come
It's so delicious
Didn't you go saying 'no more discussions'?
Changed your mind?
We are not here to discuss anything
Just to give you a piece of information
You must withdraw the case you have filed in court
If I don't?
Then we will counter file
15 years ago, Saraswathi, who was 12 years then...
...was molested by 3 men
A gang rape
You were the MLA then
You bribed Sajan who was the chief inspector then
And the case was closed
From that day onwards you brought her here
For hiding and destroying evidence For bribing a policeman
And for denying justice to her we will file a case against you
We will demand to have her molesters tracked
The media will be overjoyed
Father and daughter will be in the limelight
Won't you prefer to avoid all this?
We have planned a meeting for the investors at the palace tomorrow
You have time till then to withdraw your case
Otherwise we'll just do it
- You...! - Let me tell you
Don't be dishonest
You got drunk and blabbered
Don't, comrade
It was a mistake Forgive me
Do you know what he did to me?
Rajashekara!
Brother, do you know what my children came and told me?
Don't worry I will talk to them
But you could have confided in me at least at some point
I could not Forgive me
It was about 15 years ago
Actually speaking April 12th 1999
I was an MLA
I was returning from a meeting at 2:00 a.m
Chief Inspector Sajan called me
I went to Dr Sebastian's clinic
What is it, Sajan?
I chased a fellow who was suspected in a robbery
I missed him
But on my way back
Among the thick bushes-
We received a complaint from the orphanage
About a missing child
A 13 year old girl who was attending vacation classes
The name slip showed it was the same girl
Saraswathi
What did you say her name was?
Saraswathi
I went to her school recently
I even presented a prize to her
She's a bright girl
Yes sir, I asked her before she lost consciousness
But she did not remember anything
There were 3 of them
They abducted her when she was walking down the road
It's terrible
My dear? Saraswathi
Don't hurt me, please
Come here
Can you catch those miscreants?
I can try, sir
We have no clues
They might even have fled from our state
Anyway try to find them
Let us wait before we file a case
'I showered tender loving care on that orphan'
'I visited her everyday'
'When there was no hope of finding the culprits...'
'...I said there was no need to file a case'
'The doctor and Sajan agreed and cooperated'
'I brought her to my house and raised her as my own daughter'
To let her be the cynosure of media's eyes and talk of the town...
...I was not prepared
A case that may prolong for years causing her to lose her youth
I gave her courage to live
I convinced her that nothing had happened
Sajan gave his word of honor never to reveal this
That son of a mongrel broke his promise
My own children threatened me today
If I did not withdraw the treasure-case...
...they'd go to court and revive this rape case
They have given me time till the investors meet tomorrow
And my Saraswathi...!
She is silent now Not even crying
Didn't I warn you I may fall any day?
Comrade...!
Hey! Welcome Stage is all set
- Shall we start by 8:00 p.m? - Even 8.30 is fine, chill
I remember you
3 years ago in Goa New year's eve
It was you You look different now
Yeah! It was me
Hey man!
After the program that day I searched all over for you
He's a great singer
In Goa he barged into my program and sang
It was mind blowing
It was awesome
Why are you here?
I am on a job
And you are Mr...?
You did mention your name that day but I forgot
Shivaram
No, not Shivaram I think something else
It is Shivaram Maybe you got it wrong
Okay, Shivaram Leave it
You have to join me tonight
Balabhaskar will be there We will rock the show
Hey...no...no
No, Shivaram It's a deal
You are a singer too?
Great
Looking forward to the show
Cool, see you on stage
Gopi, come this way
I'll arrange to get your luggage from the car
This is Shivaram
He's the one who evaluates the collection
They are interested in trade aspects of this collection
So the get-together today is a business party of potential buyers?
It is not something related to your heritage resort project
You are sharp and spot on
I know all of you are busy with your guests for today's event
I came here to tell you something
The time allotted to my dad ends this evening
I came to tell you our decision
Either suicide or insanity
One of this would have been my fate
It was my dad who rescued me from that hell
A right to live like everyone else
And to live with dignity
He gave me confidence and courage to live and help people
You can file a court case
And revive the old rape case
Make me a scapegoat
I will face it coolly
As for the case filed by my dad regarding the treasure in the cellar
There is absolutely no question of withdrawing it
I won't let my dad get defeated
I came just to tell you this
A good shower cleansed my body that was defiled
But is there any holy river that can ever cleanse your corrupt minds?
Have you ever thought about it?
You heard what she said?
This is my daughter
My one and only daughter
Come
My child!
No one will file any case in any court
I won't allow anyone to tarnish your reputation
I regret what happened Shivaram sir
But I can make up for it
I was following a lead regarding the attack on Varma sir
A lone investigation without involving anyone else
I found him finally I will meet him tonight
I have many suspicions
Don't deal with this alone It is dangerous
Don't worry, Shivaram sir I have my methods
I even doubted you
Not anymore All clear
I will be able to give a piece of good news to Varma sir tomorrow
When this place is busy partying, I'll execute a crucial operation
'3 hours before the function'
Bhai ji
Javed had called
Duplicates are ready as per your instructions
12 boxes will arrive in a van tonight
Tonight at 12:30 they will hand over...
...the consignment at the spot we specify
Okay
Modifications in the tunnel have been done as per your instructions
Now it is lit up also
We must complete the mission tonight
Right, Bhai ji?
Yes
Bhai ji, are you upset about something?
The incident about that girl
Priya, didn't I always say 'no emotional baggage'?
But in life, a force called fate traps us
Some coincidences sweep you away in their tide
Do you know how many years since I visited Kerala?
15
You've told us
Yes
15 years ago
I robbed a bank along the borders of Tamil Nadu
I was alone
Police somehow traced and followed me
Help...!
Please help
Save me
Let me go
The scene I witnessed that day in the rear view mirror...
...till date has not been erased from my mind
I have had many a sleepless night
Till now I never realized...
...the reason for my anguish was the scene I witnessed long ago
Now it is my emotional baggage
She may not have seen my face on that dark night
I remain in darkness even today
A different face in each darkness
Bhai ji, are we backing out?
No! A job is always a job
''Lord...Almighty! Strummed on sarod strings of my mind''
''Blessing me ambrosial harmony''
''Amidst the moon, stars bring to me bouquets of 7 notes of melody''
''In enchantment hours awakened Like a leaf he floats on waves forsaken''
''Through paths marked by woeful shadow
share this journey through the day's glow''
''Rhythm of heartbeat to raga Nilambari Notes you shared long ago with me''
''Kisses of moonlight on those lips tiny
Mother gave me milk tasting like honey''
''Wandering bird rests in the heart's atrium
when unfirm paths unfold in calm delirium''
''Many faces, smiles, laughter recalled
on leaves, waves, hills, withheld walled''
''Between the paths of day and night
when mind traversed; a cloud bows bright''
''Like time bestows wisdom to the teacher
Be filled to the brim, oh Mother!''
''On wings of destiny I continue my journey''
''Knowledge springs from paths bridged
Like a river bubbling with k indness hinged''
''The Omnipotent one''
''The Omnipresent one''
''The Omniscient one!''
''Lord...Almighty! Strummed on sarod strings of my mind''
''Blessing me ambrosial harmony''
''Amidst the moon, stars bring to me bouquets of 7 notes of melody''
''In enchantment hours awakened Like a leaf he floats on waves forsaken''
''Through paths marked by woeful shadow
share this journey through the sun's halo''
'2 hours after the function'
We will complete our plan in 1 hour
You must transport the boxes you brought into the tunnel
And exchange the boxes from the treasury into the van
Okay, fine
You have planned it
Now you must execute it alone
Bhai ji, if you don't mind let Abbas remain with us here
Okay
Frisk him
Hey! What the hell?!
I don't think you need this gun any more
Javed, I have kept the GPS chip inside the boxes
Just to make sure it reaches its destination
So that he can't double cross us
See, the boxes are moving
Perfect
See this
Yes, Javed He has done it
He has kept the same boxes we delivered inside the cellar
I told you He never plays dirty
You pay him He'll get the job done
Excellent
I feel a special bond with you, Mother
which I never felt towards any other God
Thank you for everything
I'll take leave, see you
Great, Bhai ji
There is a small change in the plan
Our final transaction will be in Jaipur
And I will hand over the money to you there
Okay
Allow Abbas to accompany us
You also need to know we won't cheat you
He is your guarantee
Bhai ji, don't misunderstand
All will end well
Okay
You can take him
Our final meeting shall be at Jaipur
Okay, fine
Detailed report of the evaluation of the assets is in here
These are the copies for the heirs
So my job is over
It is all God's grace
Thank you
Shivaram
Let's go
See you
Get the copy of the report from the lawyer
To certain people we get too close too soon
You are a great friend
A wonderful human being
You must visit us again
We must have a blast with music and booze
Ever since my daughter told me about your music-
I will come
DySP Sajan was murdered last night
His body was found on the hillside a kilometer away from the palace
We got an anonymous call suggesting a clash between you two
Sir, you must come with us We will have to talk
Bhai
It has happened as I expected
I'm going to Jaipur You go back to Delhi
Let me also come, Bhai ji
No! Only Abbas and I will play this one last game
You don't worry
He will come back to you, safe and sound
Dad...?
I heard dad has been arrested Do you know why?
Greetings, Bhai ji It was a long journey, eh?
Oh yeah, it was a long journey
And unfortunately your journey ends here
You words were prophetic
It's your last game in the real sense of the word
From the time you reached the palace on this mission...
...I always had my suspicions about you
Because seeing all this treasure anyone will lose their mind
Those 12 boxes in the van can tempt anyone
But I did tell Nikki Bhai ji will never double cross
But we? We are bastards
The deal is called off
And I am not going to pay you anything
Javed claims you have a soft corner for him
So I have put a price on him
Bhai ji, I spoke to Nikki and we worked out a formula
Rs 2500 million that Nikki paid you?
Give it back to him and we'll set this dude free
And we can part as friends
We'll part as friends
Good
There are some more people yet to arrive on this scene
The unknown entity he had once told me
'There is a third party involved in this'
'Unknown entity'
The silent partner in this game
I didn't want to trouble you So I brought them here myself
Take a look
The stolen treasure will today be traded with an international diamond cartel
For a mind blowing price
I brought the senior and junior kings who
were to be here for the final transaction
Not me actually
My man in Jaipur
Hey Shivaram What are you saying?
I don't understand anything
You, Shekara Varma, who heads the Royal family...
...is not a simpleton
Do you know who told me that you are...
...a cheat and a lowlife?
Mother Goddess
The Mother who guards the cellar treasures
Bullet, decades old embedded on the wall of the cellar...
...showed me how the crystal on the crown of the Goddess burst
'Now this is a secret between us'
'A secret we share along with 1 more person'
I also got a glimpse of the good Shekara Varma's evil side
'The king knew your deceitful nature which no one else knew'
'With astrological assistance, his decision to close...'
'...the cellar for 41 years was to punish you'
'Neither you nor Vasudeva Varma must enjoy this wealth in your youth'
When your younger brother got a court stay order...
...you realized you lose the 1/4th wealth you would inherit
You ganged up with him for a treasure heist
The moment I realized...
...it was you and not him who hired me
...I was watching you
Knowing if your brother is alive he would cause you problems...
...you attempted to murder him
If he had died, Vasudeva Varma and Srikrishna Varma...
...will be the suspects
They will begin to distrust each other
By taking your brother's case forward, you will be the winner
The opening of the treasury will again be postponed
There will be more opportunities to break in
You'd have even dealt with me directly
Sajan had got a lead on the people hired for the murder
He...Sudhakara Varma
During the investors' party in the palace...
...invited Sajan out secretly
It is already known you are behind all this
Not heeding my warning, Sajan walked to his death
Following my orders...
...Abbas recorded the visuals 'live' with his camera
That CD must have reached the police department by speed post today
You son of a-
Son of a mongrel!
Son...?
Bhai ji
It was my mistake
I admit It was my mistake
Forgive me, Bhai ji It was my mistake
I am to blame
Please...please forgive me
It was him
This fellow
He brainwashed me to switch sides
Let him pay for it
I will stand by you to trade the treasure
You can give me any cut
Okay...fine Don't give me anything
Javed!
You proved your true nature
Shut up...you scoundrel!
Bhai ji please
Okay
When we confront each other...
...it is not a clash between good and evil
Because we are all evil
The question is who is dirtier
And I guess
I am the dirtiest!
You
I will make use of you
You and junior king will deliver the 12 boxes...
...to the place I ask you to
I will message you the address
You can take the original evaluator
He might come into use
Thanks, Bhai ji
To see you don't get nasty ideas let senior king remain with me
Done, Bhai ji
Thanks
Then go
Come on, come on
In the games we play there is only one rule
The worst always survives
The night I reached, prepared to collect the treasure with Javed...
...for 5 minutes that van on the way waited for your vehicle
My son!
The royal treasure is back safe in its cellar
Nikhil Atharva's boxes with GPS chips and duplicate jewels
...were exchanged for the original ones in the cellar
If you asked me why I did it...
...redeeming a loan is my answer
Even this mission which came in search of me was destiny
And at the end of the day I have made huge money
2500 million for nothing
But you?
You are a loser
You deserve a royal death You call the shot
'After a year'
'To all our special guests and those who kindly accepted our invitation'
'...we express our heartfelt thanks'
Your support and co operation is the strength of this institution
The completion of this building was possible due to the huge sum...
...of a donor who wishes to remain anonymous
Our heartfelt thanks to him for his generosity and affection
Thanking you once again Jai Hind!
Very happy
Thank you, sir
Okay
Dad...?
Shivaram...!
All those whom we invited graced the function
But we waited for the arrival of this particular uninvited guest
Thanks for coming
I thanked the anonymous donor who generously contributed
Did you hear me?
There is much more to thank him, isn't it?
For rescuing me from the Sajan's case
For safely entrusting the wealth to the Govt
Don't praise and glorify my deeds
I am a person without virtues
I have no regrets for all I have done so far
Neither have I confessed to anyone
16 years ago...
...one night when I heard
...the anguished pleas of a little girl crying for help
...I was not in a position to save her
The face of that girl
This face...
...remains like a burning ember within me
My first and last confession
Most people lead ordinary lives without committing too many mistakes
But there are people who commit misdeeds...
...make amends with greater gestures of generosity
History is always with them
Can I ask you something?
What is your actual name?
Do you remember what you once asked me?
Are you a fraud?
You can call me
Mr Fraud...!
''Shimmering moonlight Dazzling desirous delight''
''Clouds vapory in my heart's treasury''
''On the shores when a tempest is on the warpath of unrest''
''I shall rush ahead; no delays like a rain laden wind always''

Singing my love's verses of immortality''
''Like a poem written but erased my life remains a secret encased''
