Hey, kutta
Hey, Kunjunni
Hey!
You'll fall on your face
Instead of nodding off like this, why don't you clear the bed and sleep on it?
Hasn't the Sir come yet?
If he had come, wouldn't you see him?
It's past 12
This is really not done
Just wait for him to get here
This has been going on for a while
I will end this practice from today onwards What, the concert?
No, the side business after the concert!
The more I let it go, the worse it becomes.
There's no point in putting it so lightly, You need to be direct
I'll tell him! What, you don't think he'd listen to me?
Regardless of his greatness as a singer, If my expression changes, he'll quake.
That goes for both brothers
But if only your expression would change. Right?
You weren't asleep?
Uncle, why can't you have a serious talk with him?
Well, in that case, can't you do the same?
There are limits to what I can discuss with him. You can rebuke him
Can I do that?
I've thought about it several times. However,
When I see that walk, laugh and demeanor, I cannot help but think of your father
I have not had the audacity to sit before him except during a concert
Everywhere he went, he had devotees
How many temptations
And that too, at such important people's places, And he has never failed
Music was God to him
When the son of a man like that, God save us.
Those are merely other people's beliefs
Music is from the heart
It doesn't disappear just because you had a few drinks.
And if that's the case, these Western folk partake quite often and
there's music. Therefore, there shouldn't be any music there!
Thus, that's not the truth.
Each group has its own practices and beliefs.
And that's the right way.
I've seen several great artists get sloshed before a performance.
You must remember one thing
We are supposed to consume alcohol; it must not consume us
It doesn't matter which artists comes to me, I
will show him a great time before he leaves.
Artists are the wealth of the country.
We must respect them
Love them
Now, look, the committee is not going to reimburse me for all this.
It'll go straight from my pocket!
Let it go!
It's for art!
The satisfaction my soul gets is enough.
I'm done.
I think I overdid it a bit
If three people share one bottle, it's bad
luck to not finish it! Let's finish this off.
Ah no, they're all waiting for me. Let them wait!
You only need to go once we have done this properly.
Ah sorry, that won't work out.
It's my younger brother and uncle. Uncle?
Don't you know Pallavoor Parameshwaran Nair?
He's the king of the mrithangam
His own uncle.
He's not only my uncle
He is my guru as well. He even taught the mrithangam to my father.
Oho, so your father was in the same line of work as well.
What country are you from!?
Haven't you heard of Payyannoor Devanarayana Namboodri?
Yes.
Who is he?
Well, To be honest, I haven't heard of him.
When I'm busy with my business I occasionally dabble in the arts.
Hey. A talent like that has never been seen here. Really?
Then, next year, his concert is enough for us. What do you think?
Then your dead father needs to figure it out!
He passed away around 15 years ago.
What a loss. An eternal loss.
If I stay here any longer, we cannot part on good terms.
Huh? What , That's how it is.
You got tired of waiting, right?
Gopi,
As they say, it just happened.
The committee folk asked me to come over to give me the rest of the
money.We were chatting for a while and I didn't realize how time had flown
Call everyone. Let's head out.
Why are you looking at me like that?
They entertained you really well, didn't they?
Entertainment?
They poured a bit of something with my juice.
Just a bit.
I have to travel for a few hours, right? It relieves the fatigue
But, this is not good for us at all.
Do you know how much sister-in-law worries?
Nobody in our family has this habit.
Save the sermon for later.Call the others; let's go.There's
no need to travel today. They've all gone to bed.
Everyone knows you've started this habit.
But nobody needs to know that it has reached this state
Especially Uncle.
He doesn't merely treat you with the respect
befitting just his relative, or daughter's husband.
Please, don't worry him.
I don't drink excessively as you guys think.
I'm starting to understand that.
In any case, we will only leave in the morning.
Aunty, you know the guy who just moved in next door? A baldy?
He wants to know all kinds of things. Do you sing? Do you
dance? And then, what do people here know? I went to him with
some milk and he had me there for an hour with his questions.
Oh wow, that looks beautiful, You should give it to me once it's done
Appu! Don't you have anything to read or study?
It took you an hour to deliver some milk, Check out the loitering police
Oh Radha.
Have you already started with your stitching in the morning?
Go to the kitchen. Can't you see your sister-in-law toiling away alone?
Father, your hot water for the bath is ready
Devu, haven't the kids returned?
No, they haven't. They said they'd be back in the night.
Ramani has been up all night waiting for them. 134
Where is that girl?
I had sent her over here.
She must be next door or something.
She's so lazy.
All she wants to do is dress up and loll about.
I told her it was OK.
If she comes in contact with the heat, or if she burns
herself at the fire, that's enough for her brothers.
I won't hear the end of their complaints about making her work and exhaust herself.
Women should be knowledgeable about these things, When she joins a new
household soon, will her brothers be around to help with the kitchen work?
I think they've arrived.
Can you keep an eye on this?
Can you put this away?
Did you get worried when we didn't turn up last night?
Oh no. It's not like you're all little kids.
Sure, sure. You probably haven't slept all night. Don't I know her?
Father, why don't you come in for some tea?
I'll have tea at home. Who knows what's happening there now! Let's go!
It's hard to tell when these festival concerts
start or end. Can't be sure of anything!
Were you worried?
There's no need to talk to Mother or Ramani about what
happened yesterday. If someone asks, there are reasons.
Basically, you want me to lie.
Unpleasant truths don't need to be stated.
Unpleasant actions don't need to be committed.
That, I promise.
There have been several promises like this in the past.
This is not like that!
This, is for sure.
What are you guys whispering about outside instead of coming in?
The things which happened yesterday. The elephant went wild!
Oh no! And then?
And then, Nothing happened, but the concert started at 2pm.
What, what happened? Father, the elephant attacked!
And then? And then ... oh, the things which happened, Grandfather.
Gopi, why don't you tell them?
And how am I supposed to tell them?
I need to bathe and eat something!
What's there to eat, mother?
There's dosa
And was the elephant contained, Gopi? The elephant ...
Grandfather, it's time to go office. I'll tell you once I get back. What,
I wonder which elephant it was,
Brother Gopi.
Mother, mother, MOTHER!
What, what happened?
I called mother. To tell her that I'm leaving
Do you really need to rend your throat screaming like a demons?
You really scared me. I thought something terrible had happened.
No, it's not that. I missed Gopiettan. So what?
Don't you know how to get there by yourself?
Then, get going!
I didn't get any sleep last night and I had
just managed to fall asleep. Now, that's gone
I'm here for an audit.
I'm from Piravam.
Sir, are you here with your family?
No, I'm here alone. I have met your mother and grandfather.
In any case, I'm quite lucky to have gotten that house. Because I can
tell people at home that I was Kalloor Ramanathan's neighbor for a while
You shouldn't be this arrogant
Can't you turn around when someone's calling you? In any
case, I get the hint. Nowadays you always ignore me.
She's my cousin. Daughter of my uncle. Which means, she's your betrothed, right?
That's right
I'll leave you to talk.
Devi, you need to cultivate some manners. Is it right to throw
a tantrum when I'm speaking to someone? What would he think?
He can get lost.
It looks really full. We can catch the next bus.
Also, I want to talk to you about something.
You can take the next bus.
You can get to your college whenever you like.
If I'm not in my seat by 10, the superintendent will
mark me as absent. That's the kind of ass he is.
Gopietta!
Can you stop?
Ah, the artist has arrived!
Was there a concert yesterday?
The superintendent has asked to see you.
For what?
Must be to organize a concert!
Sir?
Yes?
You told me to meet you.
It's not because I have any desire to meet you. What are you playing at?
There was a concert by my brother yesterday.
I don't run my office based on your brother's concerts!
An urgent file was requested by the RDO.
What excuse will I give?
You only care about concerts. Who do you think you are? Yesudas?
Sir, there's no need to get so worked up. I'll take half a day off.
Leave? What if I don't grant the leave?
Sir, this isn't something that you need to grant.
Usually, people take the leave.
One of these days, I'll teach you a lesson.
That's it right? You're not going to kill me by hanging right?
Let me see if I can start work without you granting me leave.
You cannot meet the RDO regarding the office without my
permission! Who's the RDO? God? Let me see if I can meet him.
God, huh? Let him come. I'll deal with him.
ok
Ask him to come inside. Sir.
OK, OK, I'll ask him.
ok
It's a complaint about you.
The superintendent.
Why are you the office rebel?
Sir, I was half an hour late.
He didn't allow me to put it down as leave either.Ah, sit.
I heard that you said something disrespectful about me?
Sir, do you really think so?
Na, I just asked for the heck of it since he brought it up.
Isn't he aware that we knew each other before this job?
I haven't mentioned it to anyone, sir. I don't want
people to think I'm taking advantage of our relationship
Don't you need to clock in?
I'll take half the day off
As if you should use your vacation days to satisfy your stubbornness.
Connect me to the superintendent
Yes, he has came. He's here.
Can you send the attendance register over?
Man, all government offices have this kind of jealousy
Back in the village office, I distinctly remember
him kicking me around because of a few plays I did
Once they put on the IAS crown, there's no respect for theatre or music.
I'm free till the afternoon
Till then, you're going to work here
We can have some music and arts for a bit, what say?
No vistors till the afternoon; I'm very busy. OK, sir.
Song
Please stay
Doing the deeparadhana is comforting now
My luck
What's your name?
Is there anything wrong in me knowing it?
Ah it's Vijayan
Come
Have a seat inside
No, can't sit down. I'm going home tomorrow since it's a second Saturday.
So I don't need milk tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
Do tell your mother. ok. I'll take your leave. OK.
Who's playing the veena? That's my younger sister, Radha.
Does your sister sing as well?
No, she is mute.
Sorry, I didn't know. No, it's not a problem.
I should go
Aha, you're sitting here quite safely
You took a lot of money off me in that game the
day-before-yesterday, Call sister-in-law, we'll play a turn.
Don't cheat OK?
Mother's game!
Listen, hit it fully on the line
Ammai, look go for the red!
she'll play by herself for half an hour. Let's kill time talking about something.
Then, can I ask something?
Is the elephant story made-up or true?
Elephant story?
Which elephant?
Oh, at the concert. That's not made up!
She broke rank. It could've been a big problem.
Luckily it was a female elephant. She calmed down quickly.
Play quickly!
Don't break my concentration; let me play!
Does a female elephant go wild?
A female elephant doesn't go wild, does it?
Actually, now I'm not sure if it were male or female
Do you really want to put on this show for me?
I've known you since you were born
I wanted to tell you
That brother has started some undesirable habits
I'll tell you later
I know, Gopi
I've known for a while
In the beginning, I thought it was just medicine, Only later did
I understand That he was adding something else to the medicine
I'm tired of talking about it
Mother, it's your turn!
What happened, mother?
Nothing happened!
Red, where's the red coin?
We knocked that in a while back!
Then, what's the point of playing!?
It seems that everyone is playing all the time here
Tomorrow and day after are holidays
Oh, so you don't need to open your books at all for the next two days!
Instead of wasting time playing, can't you do your vocal exercises?
I'll do it early in the morning tomorrow.
I don't need to go into work tomorrow since it's a holiday tomorrow.
I've seen so many holidays
Ever since he got this government job, I have
never heard him sing apart from the concerts.
Sister-in-law, didn't I sing early in the morning for 2 hours?
Why are you needlessly making her lie?
Appu! Go call grandmother and grandfather
Music is like a lamp
If you polish it daily, it will shine like gold.
If not
It will be covered in a patina, dark, and look dirty
And then, you cannot clean it
Brother has mentioned this before
If you choose a government job as your profession, that's fine.
But this is a gift
For generations, the art we received from Saraswati
was taught to me by Father
and taught to you by me
and it must be you who must teaches it to the next generation
I'll focus my energies on that
Sometimes when I hear his words and way of speaking, he truly is his father
Grandfather, were you sleeping?
Oh, no.
I already have one or two of these. Well, it won't be anything like this
This is for Mother
This is for mother and son
And this is for the official
Where's Radha?
Come closer, child
Do you like it?
Didn't you buy anything for yourself?
I got some medicine for myself. Dhashamoolarishtom.
My stomach isn't well
Ramani, please put this inside
He's truly his father's son
He can't get any sleep if he hasn't blown all his cash on something
What's the point in hoarding it?
Ah Gopi,
did you drop by Uncle's on your way back?
No
Ah, Devi's quite troubled over there
Something about you not smiling at her
Or that you didn't take her along with you. Something like that
And so, she didn't go to college and headed straight home
She's not like Ramani
She gets sulky very quickly
And she gets over it as quickly
He's also got some of that as well
They're kids right? They can be allowed some laxity
That's right
OK then, I'll just sing and dance on the road
Oh please, nothing as drastic as that!
Now, why are we simply delaying that?
We were thinking it should be after Radha's
Who's going to come for her?
What do you think about advertising in the newspapers again?
Nothing will come of that, Mother
You know how it goes with newspaper ads
They're only interested in the number of lakhs they can get
They don't care if she has eyes, arms, legs, or noses
Well, that's how it is
Who would love a mute?
Being mute is an ailment for humans, Mother, not for goats or cows
That's enough, She's in the next room
The towel and soap is ready for your bath. Come.
Ammai, do you think I'm a grinch?
No, I've never thought that
I've thought he's just a killjoy
What? What happened? Oh, nothing!
Brother says I don't know how to kill time
Before, when he used to come here, it was such a ruckus
Back then, Ramani studied dance
When the two got together, it was all dancing and singing
And Uncle would join in with the mrithangam
It was so much fun
Raman was quite different back then
Then he'd cook up so many wacky things
I'm also getting used to some wacky things
This much fooling around is not requiredLook, Ammai, she's pinching me!
Why are you bothering him? She's simply bugging me, hey!
Gopietta, let go!
I'm a killjoy, is it?
Oh God, what would happen if Mother saw us?
So what?
I have a right
You heard what Ammai said
About brother and sister-in-law
Then, that means Ammai has seen stuff like this before!
Why is your face so red?
What's with this girl?
Madhavi, I'm starving, can you serve some food? Let me iron this first
Ah, Gopi.
Did she mention an event at her college?
Yes, she mentioned it, but it wouldn't be right if I did it.
This is also not right. What isn't right, Uncle?
We want to live here without fear, Can we live
like this day and night making drum noises?
I don't understand
You don't need to understand, I'll tell Raman. He'll understand quickly
He's also proficient in these martial arts
Either way, we should not delay and do this as soon as possible
We're not in a hurry
Understood, understood
Ramani, did you tell him? He's taking a bath. He'll be here soon.
Start, child
Ramani, can you get two ounces of that medicine?
My stomach doesn't feel good.
Quickly, Ramani
Start
Brother, did you call for me?
Ah, did you see that Ammai and Devi are here?
I saw
Devi asked for a song and you said that wasn't possible
It's best if you do it. What do I know about music?
Then, why did I work so hard, all these years?
Is it enough that you set the scale and be a backup singer?
If I touch it, it'll become a devotional
Here, take it
Let it be a nattha
Since it's light music, some improvisation is alright.
Song.
I knew he was trouble the minute I saw him
Just because they talked, should we misunderstand what happened?
Let them talk
Getting prasadam, and putting the sandalwood paste
on his forehead. What's the need for all that?
You get prasadam at the temple
Do you come to the temple to talk to women?
You come to worship
And what laughter and boyish mannerisms, If he
was a young man, I'd get it but he's an old man.
Please come inside.
No need.
What's the meaning of this?
Of what? Don't you know?
I saw you perform kathakali
Sorry. Sorry? If you come to our neighbourhood and
do these filthy things, you won't leave this body
Are you threatening me?
No need for that
What's your intent behind enacting this romance?
To deceive her?
Or for time pass?
It was time pass in the beginning
until I found out she was a mute
Now, I'm serious
I would like to marry Radha
with everyone's blessings
It's been five years since my wife passed
I've told Radha all this
If you don't think this is a big shortcoming, I
shall mail my father asking him to come here
What do you say?
We need to think about it
Alright, think about it
You must let me know even if your reply isn't positive
And if so, I will not bother you by staying here
I'm sorry, Vijayan. Sorry.
Does he know that she is a mute?
He knows
He has been here a few times
He has a nice disposition
How many lakhs did he request?
He didn't say anything about that
Maybe he has entrusted all that to his relatives
He doesn't seem like that kind of person
Then, it must be due to pity
I fear that kind the most
Do you remember, we had someone like that once, with pity?
He only thought of his life after the rings were exchanged
When the rings were removed
My child gave me a look, O Lord.
Do you remember then, how you cried like a dog?
Just because it happened once, does it mean it's always the case, Rama?
Ah, we can only hope it doesn't happen
In any case, we can ask his relatives to come, right Mother?
This will be his second wedding. That's a sad thing about this match.
If it's a second wedding, it's a second wedding. It'll at least be done.
We should ask her what she thinks
I asked. She likes him.
I'll be honest. When he first told me about this, I did not agree
And it's not that I'm in agreement now.
If that's his fate, then so be it.
It's karma. At his first weddding
at the auspicious moment as we stepped out a crow
zjust fell and died in front of us, quivering.
It had collided with the electric cable.
Then itself, I told him that we shouldn't go ahead with the wedding
He didn't listen
And what happened? She died of an electric shock, just like that!
Things like horoscopes, signs, and omens; they
are not lies, it's the truth. Don't you think?
Well, we should discuss our situation.
Huh? What else is there to talk about? We saw the girl, and that ritual is over.
An approximate date has been decided, right?
We don't need a ritual for that, We should consult an astrologer and settle the date.
Should we not have an idea about your expectations for gold and money?
Janardhan Nair is not such a cheapskate. It's not like
I'm waiting for your gold and cash to live my life.
You give whatever you want to your child.
Just because we discuss some calculation for gold and cash, and we
receive it from you, it doesn't make a mute, not a mute, will it?
Father, what are you saying?
Why are you afraid of stating facts?
Isn't that right, Ramanathan Nair?
That's right
Then, we have nothing of significance to discuss, We should
consult an astrologer and fix a date tomorrow itself
Ah, Vijaya, Ask mother and grandmother to come here
If they go anywhere, they just take root.
I want to reach there before deepaaradhanam
Today, I am relieved
Radha's situation was such a burden for me and now it's over.
You can't survive without this, can you Ramettan?
Lately, this has become a daily affair
Have you decided to destroy yourself through drink?
Oh, the tears have begun
Today's such a happy day
Come, and sit here
Ah, listen to me, Ramani
Sit there
If one has a bit of this, who told you that one would be destroyed?
Do you know how comfortable it is to sing after having a bit of this?
The voice really comes through
Haven't you told me several stories of people
whose lives have been ruined by drink rametta?
And now, you!
Please don't cry, Why are you needlessly worrying me?
Music, itself, is an intoxicant, One who has experienced
that intoxicant, will not be drowned by this one
Moderation is key, In excess, even amritham is poison
Can you tell me, for sure, that it is not in excess?
Oh, of course, I can say that
Earlier, after the concert, you were so drunk, you couldn't even stand straight
And then, a lie
about an elephant who went wild
Ah, so, he comes and unloads everything here, doesn't he?
Then, once, a mistake was made. And so, everyone should know?
Can you look me in the face and say that it was a mistake which was only made once?
You, Didn't you go to Panikar?
I just returned
Brother, you haven't answered my question
Are you cross-examining me?
Brother, you must forgive me, I must say this now
in front of sister-in-law
I do not have to right to scold or advise
I'm begging you You must stop this at least in the memory of our deceased father
Gopi, Are you making me out to be a drunkard?
It has ended. Today itself, it has ended.
So, are you content? Can we trust you?
Now, on whom do I have to swear?
There is no need to swear on anyone.
Just hold firm
I'm holding firm
I will not touch it henceforth, Enough?
Ah, so, how did it go?
I asked him to look at the date
The 30th seems to be have an auspicious hour
After that, we'll have to wait for a month
Then, let it be the 30th!
Also, we told Janardhan Nair, that it would be the 30th, right? That's right
Then we don't need to change it and make him uncomfortable
Where on earth is Raman? I saw him talking to Govindan Menon and Kurup
Where is Kunjunni?
He went to look for him
No need. Get lost!
Brother, what is this?
No problem. There is no problem.
That Menon and Kurup got him drunk. The bastards!
Don't talk nonsense.
I'm fine.
Raman, should your uncle have to see this?
It just happened,
Start
Switch on the mic.
Raise it, raise the curtain!
Is it time for them to be back from the concert?
No, it's only turning 11
Then, who could it be at this time?
What happened? Was the concert cancelled?
Where is Father and Gopi, Ramanetta?
What happened there?
Where is everyone, Ramanetta?
Rama, tell us
What happened to my son?
Nothing has happened to Mother's son, He's
probably singing and bringing down the house
But, why didn't you sing tonight?
I don't understand what's going on
I, I have been defeated!
Everyone has gotten together and defeated me
You drank, didn't you?
I was betrayed, Raman was not able to keep his vow
What is it, Rama?
What is it that I'm hearing, Ramani?
He's the son of Ayanoor Devanarayanan Namboodri who drinks?
to the point that he cannot sing at a concert? with the audience booing him?
O Lord, Has God kept me here to see and hear all this?
If Father were here he would kill him, that's what would happen
Once I stood there watching a person who had come to invite
him to a concert get slapped across his face for coming drunk
There is no point in talking about old tales
If Father were here, he would have beaten him, or scolded him, or done whatever
Apart from tearfully pleading with him, what can we do?
Sister-in-law and I have begged him several times
How long has this been going on?
For a while
This medicine he keeps drinking is nothing else.
Oh Lord, Has he awoken, Ramani?
Yes.
What he said?
He cried a lot last night And said that death is preferable.
Go to him and Ask your brother for forgiveness
Yes, i do
you have to explain what wrong i did.
The people were heckling, and I only sang when
I thought the performance would be ruined.
It wasn't to steal the limelight!
In any case, it was his concert Didn't you sing
without anybody's permission? That, is a mistake.
It's not just in art and music, it's like that for anything.
So, I shouldn't have sung even thought the audience was
heckling and the performance would've been ruined, right?
You should not have sung without your brother's permission
In your workplace would you tolerate it, if your junior sat in your chair and worked?
In a government job it might not be a big thing
but in arts it's a very big thing
You must respect your Guru, Don't you think?
Brother.
Stop
there is no need for that.
I heard that the concert was phenomenal
It was not bad
If you neglect the fact that I was not able to touch your feet and start.
What is the meaning in all that?
Yesterday, after the concert the music committee honored me with a gold shawl.
As this is my first token of honor
it belongs to you
Please accept it and bless me
Why do you need my blessings now?
You can keep it.
Here, in my closet, there's no room for these gold shawls.
You are punishing me, aren't you?
You are my guru, and my father
if I have unknowingly committed a mistake, I beg your forgiveness
Forgiveness? You didn't do anything wrong, did you?
When everyone told me that
it didn't seem like it
but
now I believe so
When the people were heckling and when I could not bear to watch
your rhythm and voice quaver anymore I couldn't help but sing
Good
Not missing the opportunity, was definitely a good thing.
Only they are victorious
That's not a mistake
In the past, during the Kurukshethra War after putting down his bow and arrows
pointing at Karnan whose chariot was stuck in the
mud. Krishna said, There this is the chance.
Not foregoing that opportunity is Arjunan's victory
You won
I.
What can I say?
From one point of view, you're right
From another point of view, it's not that right
Ah you're early today. Let's go?
I heard that Kallur Gopinathan did extremely well?
Oh, after a concert, you're so conceited? Can't you smile a bit?
Please be quiet. Isn't there a limit to your jokes.
What?
Uncle, tell me what I should do.
I will never sing again. Is that enough?
What are you saying?
A singer, who chooses to not sing again, Then, what is the point of that life?
Isn't it better to just die?
It is a preparation for that
if it is atonement for the sins that I have committed.
What an ill-fated pronouncement, Gopinatha
What happened for you to have such thoughts?
Tell us what happened, Gopietta
What happened, Father?
I know nothing, daughter
Something has been said between brothers
Can you please tell us? Instead of just worrying us?
Brother says when an opportunity presented itself I deliberately defeated him.
What can I do to him?
Tell me in a way that I can understand
He's talking about yesterday's concert
Oh I see, If Brother is drunk, and cannot sing, what should
Gopiettan have done? Is it his fault for singing now?
That's exactly what I said. With all the drinking,
he must have acquired the habits of drunkards
Unwanted thoughts, and actions Don't you know how
that coconut tree climber, Velayithan, behaves?
He beats up that poor Kathu in the evening after drinking
Every day, he has a different reason
For me, it's when I think of my daughter .
Can you please go inside?
What an example
The coconut tree climber, Velayuthan
Normal women at least have some sense. her head is full of play sand anyway.
If it's play sand, then it's play sand.
Just look at what "people with sense" are doing and saying
Don't worry about any of this
When someone who is better than you comes it can happen to anyone
In that case, I'm not so amazing
You will surpass your brother and your father. I am sure of it.
Shouldn't Brother take joy in that, Father?
He will be happy. Raman is only capable of that
I know it,Go to work in peace
I made a mistake, If you keep needling me about it, will the mistake be fixed?
All I'm saying is that this shouldn't happen again
I got it! Who would commit an error knowingly? It just happened
Everyone, please forgive me, I will fix this. Isn't that enough?
That's enough. Humans who do not make mistakes do not exist, do they?
Similarly, Gopinathan is also very worried. You should not hurt him
Isn't there anyone here who sees my pain? Every second, I sting and burn I can't
meet people outside, I'll have to answer people's questions, Does he want this?
He didn't sing to implicate you! We escaped the audience because of that
I agreed with that
I have no complaints about that
He saved me, right? What luck
Because of that he has only profited
Let him grow and surpass Father
Regardless, when he came to apologize This is
not something we need to discuss right now!
We don't have much time till Radha's wedding
That must be conducted beautifully
Exactly. Everyone should come together and make it a success
Neelakanda.Call a carpenter to fix that spot
We need to clean this place after fixing these broken and worn out sections
Just tell me how much paint you need, and we'll buy it today or tomorrow
Start working as soon as possible. Let's not have a panic attack at the last minute
OK, get going
Radha, ask them to give Uncle something to drink
P Govindhan.
Sree nilayam
Ramanattukara
Are your hands aching? I'll write some.
Mukundhan Menon.
Sree Mukundhan Menon Madathil Parambil.
A loss of strength. It's because I haven't eaten.
You've got the journalists eating out of your hand, huh? They're raving about you.
I heard
You just heard about it?
You didn't see it?
No.
Here.
You didn't let me know about your first concert?
At least your debut went well. That's enough.
It wasn't a debut. It was a mistake.
A mistake?
Yes
Brother was supposed to sing at that concert
He drinks once in a while
I've mentioned it before
He went overboard this time
When he sang, and it didn't work out and the people started heckling, I stepped in
Brother was very depressed
He think I deliberately took advantage of the opportunity for my own gain
Your brother is really something
It's a complex, of sorts.
Everyone has a time, Nobody can sit on the throne
forever; eventually, they have to step down
When his time ended alcohol just emerged as a reason
You must not worry and throw away your future over this
My brother is dearer to me, than my future
He chanted the first notes of music to me
He made Gopinathan, the Kalloor Gopinathan these reporters talk about
I just want to learn under my brother's tutelage
Stop butchering it!
You really are inconveniencing me
Why, are you tired?
Do you always want to prepare cumin water and give
it to everyone? Just practice for a few days,
and it will be fine. It's not about getting it
right. Then? It weighs on my mind, Our Gopinathan.
What weighs on my mind doesn't bother you? Right?
I'll get somebody else?
I'll decide that! You just do as you're told. Understood?
When Gopi is available, why are you needlessly bothering Kunjunni?
Now that he has started to sing by himself
it's not right to ask him to sing together or assist
Perhaps, he doesn't feel like it?
Rama, are you talking about Gopi?
Mother, Even if someone is your brother or son, you must
respect, whom you must respect. He's has a bigger name than me.
He's assisted by someone through him music does not flow through
Move aside!
Gopi, get in there
No.
I'm training him
If I happen to get another concert, I need to still fill my stomach
You're getting rid of me, aren't you?
You don't need to see it like that
You'll get plenty of concerts in the future
It's not good for you to assist me
That's also true. You should see what's in the papers.
Oh I forgot!
Did you see what's printed?
What is it, brother? Our Gopi's picture!
The press has great things to say about him!
Look here
Radha, look at this!
It wasn't there in the paper we get here
It wasn't in the paper at home either, It's only published in the Mathrbhumi
I borrowed it from another house
Look, son
Ah, I saw, I saw
I'll just show Father and Ramani and return. Ah, OK.
Nowadays, It's not that hard to become famous
but excessive praise will only stunt growth
it's good to remember that.
Haven't you gone to bed yet?
Do you want some coffee?
No
Looks like Kunjunni is sleepy
Sister-in-law, Yes?
Kunjunni learned to assist quickly, didn't he?
Have I committed such a grave crime to earn such contempt?
Do you think you made a mistake?
Isn't that what everyone says?
Don't include me with everyone
Don't think that I didn't try to talk to him about you.
I tried, He should try and understand, right?
Alcohol is capable of altering people's minds, isn't it?
In some way, this was a blessing
He's determined now to regain his reputation
He doesn't drink at all now! And he practices. Didn't he
have a tremor in his voice before? That has lessened now
Good
Let him despise me, It's fine. At the Thyagaraj
festival, I just want to see Brother sing and triumph
Will stop for the day.
Namaste.
Forgive me, I have seen you someplace
I cannot remember
I belong to the Mahalingam Coimbatore Thayagaraj Music Committee
Ah yes, I remember now. Please sit.
Please sit here.
I'm Sudhakharan.
My home is in Palakkad.
I had received the notice before, This time the festival is truly a festival!
Ananthapoorthy, Balasubramaniam, and so many great singers are there!
Yes, that's right, There's a small problem in our usual program
The people from my generation don't have a problem
But there are a lot of young people in the committee. This young generation!
Don't take it in bad
They have a request
They want your younger brother, Kalloor Gopinathan, in your place at the concert
Gopinathan instead of Ramanathan?
What nonsense are you spouting?
It was a sudden change, Please cooperate with us
I must cooperate, by not singing, right?
That's not true, sir. We've heard good things about your brother.
People say that he's even better than your Father
He has only performed in one concert
That's enough, right? I was there. The concert
went well and we saw some things as well
For seven years you have sung every time
The regulars will get tired of it
Besides You do not have to return the advance
In our advance performance, we'll have a concert for you
Do you need to hurt me so?
No need
Rama, Rama
Hello, sir Hello
Namaste.
What's the problem?
The problem is, The problem is nothing other than
for the Coimbatore concert they just want you.
Me, Yes.
And, what about Brother?
They don't want him.
Sir, that's our wish Please cooperate.
No
I will not come
What can we say to console Raman now, O Lord?
What we can do? All are saying bad only about Ramanadhan sir.
You know how it is
We only want the event to succeed
We though Ramanathan sir would be happy if we invited his younger brother
If not, we will invite someone else
What do you say?
No.
I will not sing
Not just at your event, Any event
Gopi,
That's right, Uncle I will, once and forever more, abandon music
I will end it by singing the Mangalam
And for that, you must play for me
Stop this. A singer who vows never to sing.
Isn't death better than that?
Never mind, Uncle
Brother is there
I will wash my face and legs
Rametta, please, father, be stand
Father
Rama, Gopi will end it with the Mangalam
He will never sing again, apparently
I'm the one who should end it all with the Mangalam
Why does he need to do it?
Tell him not to sing it, Rama
Tomorrow, everyone will speak ill of you,
Your father's soul will not forgive you, Rama
Rametta
Appu is our second son, You always said that our eldest son was Gopi
He has only sung what you taught him
He has only sat at your feet
Shouldn't we be happy to see him surpass even you and Father?
To end this sacrifice, You do not need your brother's permission
Nor your Guru's permission.
Is that the case?
If you do not despise me, you must obey me.
You must sing, Surpassing me and Father should be your goal
You may offer the dakshina
The dakshina is myself
Song
There's a lot of kasava
There isn't any on this side
These are nice saris, right Mother?
This one is really good. This is too much!
Let it be.
All of them have an old person's taste
None of us selected them, It was a young person
your Gopi
Ah, say that! Then, how else can he improve? I told him
that I'd come with him, If only he listened. That Gopi!
Grandfather's taste is more tolerable than this
I think he has arrived
I'll teach him a lesson
What's the problem with this one?
I'm just messing with him, Mother
If Gopi gets angry, let him get angry
How was the concert?
I didn't dishonor Father's or Brother's name
It went well. It didn't just go well, it was
brilliant. Didn't you see his garland and bouquet?
Where's Brother?
He headed out to Mannarkadu yesterday saying
that he had to meet someone. He hasn't returned
Brother had come to Coimbatore
Really? Didn't I tell you, Ramani, that he couldn't not go?
He attended the concert, He was really happy, He
took of this necklace of Father's and put it on me
I looked for him everywhere after the concert, I thought he'd be here by now
He'll be here before evening, What? Mother and
daughter have locked up the house and are here?
Well, how long can we wait for someone?
You said you'd be back before noon
Never mind that, I'll drop by home and head back
Now, why are you going there?
We've brought your mundu shirt and everything else
Finally we should run for the things when we shifting matters to tomorrow.
There are 3 or more days left know father?
Why we wasting vegitables ?
We can buy after tomorrow.
Isthat gold also damage like vegitables?
Did you bought that?
We can take tomorrow after brother came grandfather.
Hey Kutta, i think banana get more sweet on that day i think
Grandfather told me to do.
How ever that is your job.
Gopi, where is Raman?
He will be back, he went for something serious matter right?
Ramani is in sad
Why are you getting tension sister in law.
Brother will come right.
I'm fearing, did he slept somewhere after drink?
Now he drinks more Gopi
He was drunk when he came for concert
He is in out of controll.
He filled shelf with bottles.
He used to drink
I can't stop even
Now, what is the problem if he drink or not he asking
Gopi
Shall we send somebody for search him?
Where we go to find him?
He came to coimbatoor from home i feel
He might gone mannarkadu from there
Then also the time is over to come back.
And there are so many things which need to be done
here, All the relatives will start to arrive tomorrow
In any case, Kuttan, you should go to Mannarkadu
I'll go
We'll check out places he may frequent over here
He must be drinking with some people, Apart from that, where can he go?
Hello? Isn't that Krishnettan?
This is Gopinathan
We're calling from Thrissur
Did Ramanettan drop by?
OK, has he dropped by since?
Are there any places he might have gone to in Ernakulam?
No, there's no other news
He hasn't been home in 2 days
Can you look into this?
You're coming for the wedding, right?
Alright
He hasn't reached Ernakulam
If he did, he would have dropped by to visit Krishnettan
Hello, 61783
Unietta?
Unietta, this is Gopinathan
It's about Brother
No, please listen to me
OK, I wanted to discuss something else
Unietta!
He won't let me get a word in!
He's got a bone to pick with us, because we didn't invite him personally
But you didn't ask him if he was there
That was obvious from what his way of talking
How much? 320/-
Kunjunni
Give him this money
Shouldn't we let the police know?
What's the need for that? Apart from scaring Ramani and
Devu. When we get home, he'll already have arrived
Why don't we look around in Coimbatore?
Ah, that's right. Let's go straight to Coimbatore
We already searched in Coimbatore. If we go,
who will get things ready for the wedding?
It's OK if we do that after 2 days, We just need it in time for the wedding
Gopi, if you're not at home now, everyone will
worry. I'll go to Coimbatore, That is best.
You guys should go home.
If you insist, Kunjunni should go
Let's go via Guruvayur and ask that Menon if he saw him
OK, let's go
Has Brother arrived?
No
He hasn't reached Mannarkadu's Gopalettan's place,
Apparently, he received a letter saying that he would visit
Now, where else can we search for him?
I searched the entire area. and the areas around
it. He hadn't been to any of those places
Now where else can we look for him?
Maybe we should check at Nambeeshan from
Kotakal? He occasionally hangs out there. Would
he do that without letting anyone know, especially during the wedding preparations?
In any case, you should go investigate, You have the vehicle, right?
Did you see sister-in-law?
I did, I told her about where you went. How could I not tell her?
Why is he making us eat coals like this?
In any case, Kuttan, you should get going
Uncle, You should go with him
Did you receive any news?
He must be in Coimbatore
He has a lot of friends there
Kunjunni, has gone there
O Lord
Where do we look for him?
Who can we ask?
Don't cry, daughter
God won't let any harm come to him
Sister-in-law
Please don't needlessly cry and worry Appu as well
Brother will come It's only been 2 days since he left
There must have been a pressing situation, Otherwise, would he be so late?
When my insides trembled, I suspected as much, something misfortune was coming
If something happened in a foreign land who would know?
Grandfather, can you please keep quiet?
What misfortune has happened here?
Please don't cry
They're just
trying to figure it out
Where would he go?
Everything will go beautifully
Tomorrow, when Brother arrives, we can go to get the gold, then the
sandals, box, pick up all the clothes we gave for sewing. Right?
Please don't cry
Go to sleep
Go
He's not in Coimbatore, Kota or Thrissur
Now, where can we look for him?
Could something have happened to my son, Gopi? Uncle,
don't say anything like that
What's this, Gopi?
Like small kids, We must face whatever happens
We should notify the police. Let them investigate
If we notify the police they might want to ask Priya or mother
something. Isn't it better to let them know beforehand?
I can't bear to deal with any of this
Gopi
Why don't you talk to sister-in-law?
At least drink some water, Ramani
Why don't you tell her?
How can she stay alive if she doesn't eat something?
I'll tell her, Ammai, you should go
Sister-in-law , We have looked everywhere we can look
We have learned nothing
Shall we notify the police?
We can advertise in the newspaper
My son is now fatherless
Can you please come with me?
Please come, I want to talk to you about something
Gopietta, if you also start who will comfort Ammai, Radha, and sister-in-law?
We don't know what happened
Everyone is needlessly killing him with their words
Please listen carefully, This is not the time to cry We must find out the truth
What, what is it, tell me.
I saw an article in the newspaper, 3 days ago, at
night in Palakkad, somebody was run over by a vehicle
The body has been held at a mortuary for 2 days, The name and address is not known
When I read about the person's particulars, I had a suspicion
When I had that suspicion I tore it out and kept it aside
Hit-and-run in Palakkad The possibly 45-year old
victim passed away in an accident on the road
The vehicle which hit him drove away without stopping
With a dark complexion, and of height, 5'5. in a white mundu and jubba
The body has been held after the postmortem in the mortuary
Ah, it's today's paper and someone has torn out something
I haven't seen Ramanathan sir yet
I'm here on time, We must get the ginger, and onion for the meal now. The kids
will be here by the evening. If you can procure the goods, we can start work
Why are you quiet?
Nothing, we can think about it
Think about it? Why? Is something wrong
Oh, not at all Ah, Gopi. Please tell your brother that
I have arrived. I'll tell him, right after he arrives
I must go to a place
Once I'm back, we can buy everything
Uncle, Please open a room for them
Where are you off to?
I'll tell you when I'm back
Is Devi going with you? yes.
Please don't go anywhere, I won't
I'll call the Palakkad SP and give him the news
What journalists write doesn't have to be true
Don't worry about it
If it's the truth
How can I bear it?
Devi seems to have more courage than you
No matter what, we must bear it
Are you really this soft?
Let's do this, I'll come as well
If he goes, it'll really be a problem
I'm the Calicut RDO
Harikumar, Isn't the CA here? the CA has gone home. can i call him sir? no.
Take your seat sir.
Be seat
About why I'm here Didn't somebody die a 2-3 days ago from a
road accident? I heard that his body is held at the mortuary
We suspect that it may belong to a relative
Oh, sir. We moved it from the mortuary this morning
Since nobody came to claim it. the DM from the
hospital insisted that we remove it immediately
Do you have any photographs?
Yes, we do. We have secured the photographs and material objects
Please bring them. Yes, sir
Gopi
In some horrible circumstance, if they do belong to him. you must not make a scene
It was an accident, wasn't it? Yes, sir
At night he passed away at midnight
A lorry hit him
The car which was behind reported it here
Since the license plate wasn't illuminated, they were unable to note the number
They drove off without stopping
The wheel ran over his head, It was smashed in
Shouldn't you arrange to inform everyone at home?
I must let them know, Sir. I would like to take my brother's body home.
Like a nameless corpse.
If we have to retrieve the body again We'll need a special order from the Collector
We must get it, I need to conduct the final rites We will take care of it.
But I doubt that we can take it back today. It's quite late in the day
We will certainly take it back tomorrow
We will now head home
That is best. Go home.
Once you're there, just send someone over here to take care of it.
OK? I'll take care of things here
Do not delay, Go ahead
Devi.
How do I tell them?
How can we not tell them?
Even though he's my brother-in-law, I only call him high priest.
Towards the end, he had an inclination towards ascetism. And he'd ask
me Hey, Paramu. Why don't you leave your family and children,embrace
music and become an ascetic?I can't bear to be away from my kids
It didn't happen to father or son, I'm happy
Uncle, Where on earth were you?Did you forget that a wedding is
going to be conducted here? Someone has been sent to look for you
Couldn't you have told us where you were going?
Oh Gopi, there isn't a place we haven't looked for you
What a great time you guys have chosen to roam around
Sister-in-law
Brother, Your brother really gave us a scare. Nothing has happened
to him. A letter has arrived. It's addressed to you. When I saw the
handwriting, I opened it. Do you mind? Even if you do, I don't care,
He has assumed some things God isn't so blind Stop dreaming and come!
Here, read this and take a look, I need to go to the kitchen
I don't understand anything
Please read it
Dear brother,
The concert was magnificent
You will surpass Father
To you, an unnecessary jealousy was upon me
To anyone who complains how they feel towards victors an emotion
In any case Today, I am completely content
I have only one desire left
Together, we should hold another concert. Today, I do not have the ability for that
Alcohol has left me in a terrible state
I need deliverance from it
By entrusting body and mind to God,I'm going on a journey
From Kanyakumari, to the river Ganga by Forgetting
everything, A journey with only music as my focus
It's an ascetic's journey
I thought of starting this journey after Radha's wedding
But with every passing moment My mind's resolve weakens
After all, you're there for everything. Please explain the situation to Radha
Her wedding was my biggest dream
To sister-in-law, you must tell everything
She will understand me
After all, she's meant for me.
To Grandfather, Mother, Ammama and Appu, ask them to pray for me
Your brother will return as your old Ramettan That is certain.
Gopietta,
Cease this, Everyone is so happy now
We cannot destroy that
We can also accept this
Brother has gone on a pilgrimage, He will return
Gopi!
Did you hear the news?
In any case, he's alive! That's enough for me
At least, it was for a good thing, God made him do it
After his pilgrimage after discarding his unwanted habits he will return soon
In the past his father also had this idea
To become an ascetic
It's because I didn't allow it. If he had told me, I wouldn't have allowed it either
After having considered him lost the joy of knowing that you haven't lost anything
that is truly happiness, you know
Why do you look so off?
Probably because his brother left the responsibilities of the
house to him. Let him learn. He was just loafing about till now
He had planned to have a blast without any accountability
forever, Now He must conduct the wedding as the head of the
family, Sister-in-law's, Appu's, Grandfather's, and Ammai's
affairs need to be taken care of And then this poor soul's
You guys are joking around here? Things need to move
quickly now. Have you given those men any water?
I had given them some water before. Not that, Mother, alcohol.
Do you call that water as well? Be it water,
or buttermilk, it is normal to give it to them
Brother's closet has 3-4 bottles in it, Here, give it to them
Gopietta, Appu.
Uncle, why did Father abandon me?
Let your Father be I'm here for you.
Whatever you want Just tell me
I've explained it but he doesn't understand, Gopi
Appu, Father will return quickly to see us, Isn't that right, Gopi?
Come. I'll get you some food
Ah, Gopi, Brother has kept some cash there. At least, we should get
the gold by tomorrow, Isn't the wedding on the day after
tomorrow?It won't do for you to just stand there Come
In between heaven and hell, I seemed to have found myself, O Lord
What all acts I need to put on
Then let's call everyone, and tell them
That Brother was run over, and crushed by a vehicle to his death
Gopietta, Radha's wedding must go on
If it does not happen at the auspicious time, You know his father's behavior
Do you think there's a chance for this to work out again?
If this does not happen, How will Radha bear this?
How do I bear this
You must, For your brother. Wasn't it his biggest dream? Radha's wedding?
It must happen, Thinking of our predicament Brother's soul must be crying
Look
Isn't this great?
Isn't this nice, Mother?
Gopietta
Shouldn't we tell Harikumar sir the news?
We must
Now, when can we do that?
In the evening he will be here with the body
How do I let him know?
What reason can I give to leave?
I'll think of something and tell them. You must
leave now, Otherwise it will become a huge problem
Give this money to Ammama
I'll get it home
Sir
We have it. It's packed with medicine since it has decomposed a bit.
The situation is in a weird state, sir. What happened?
Everyone is thrilled at home
A letter from brother arrived. A letter he wrote before his death
In the letter, he says that he's going for a pilgrimage
Everyone at home is thrilled after reading that
My sister's wedding is tomorrow
It was my brother's biggest dream, I could not bring myself to tell them
Good, It's best if it stays that way. Let the planned
wedding happen. The dead have escaped their burdens
It is well that you thought about the living
Now, brother's body cannot be taken home
That is a problem, It has already been packed
It has already been packed. How can we refuse them now?
It's not that we don't want it. We do. All his final rites must be
conducted, Everything must be done correctly. And nobody must know
Why don't we cremate him near the Bharatha stream?
That's exactly what I had in mind
He really loved the Bharatha stream
Stir it well
Everything is OK, right?
How did it go?
We cremated it
Where? At the Bharatha stream
Gopietta, Do not falter
I told everyone that you went to Guruvayur
Gopi!
Where were you?
I was on an important, So, what's going on?
Cheriyamma, Anu, Mini and Devan have all come
Ah, we're happy
Hey, isn't there any of that?
Ah, no. It's a wedding, there should be some of that!If
Ramanathan were here, it wouldn't have been a problem
at all, Is it true that he's an ascetic now? Or is it
because there was a falling out between the two of you?
Uncle, please leave us alone, You and your jealousy Won't you leave us in peace?
Come, Gopietta
Hmmm, you're truly your mother's daughter
Come, come
You're really something else; couldn't you have
told us before leaving? Where did you duck out to?
I went to Guruvayur
Don't you know that your brother isn't here?
Shouldn't you be here? Everyone who arrives asks me. What would Radha
think? Should she feel the lack of her elder brother's presence?
What's up with you? You have the funny face of a monkey who ate some ginger
Oh, you're just imagining things. Be that as it may,
if you call him a monkey, you'll have to deal with me!
Sure, sure. What is this Gopi? This is a house of great singers. Forget
a concert, there isn't even any singing. Come, we should celebrate
I'm not feeling well, If his brother were here, you'd see there'd have
been music and celebration. this is like a house mourning someone's death
Come. We'll get you feeling better Otherwise, Radha will feel bad
Ramani!
I'm coming!
Devi
The fires that we lit have not even died, How can I
sing before that happens? I can't take it anymore
My chest and neck are so tight it hurts, Gopi!
They're looking for you over there
Why is this girl hanging around him? In case someone kidnaps him!
You must keep it together
If you slip You will not be able to hold on
I cannot, I'm faltering. Pray to your brother for strength
Gopi!
Is that all?
There's nothing left? No. Ah, then get going
And like that, it ended brilliantly
Don't we have to go soon? It's been a week since we locked up the house
Sure, we'll go tomorrow. After all, Raman isn't here.
I share Devi's opinion, You concealed it till
now, Leave it as it is. For how long must I bear
this burden? You must try to understand my
situation where I cannot even break down and cry
It's not that I do not understand
Your sister-in-law, Isn't this a shock she cannot handle?
And we won't have answers to any of their questions
Many will blame you
Perhaps, cruel accusations will be made
What accusations?
People won't even hesitate to say that you murdered him, Murder?
I only said that it's possible. Many will be suspicious
because you concealed his death. That's the time we live in
Anyone who knows Gopiettan wouldn't say that, sir.
It's not that they will, they might I was just thinking outside the box
Even if they make such a mistake the police have records
know sir. People will say that they were fabricated
Furthermore, my involvement, will strengthen that accusation
Right now, everyone at home is relieved
Let it be that way; that is best.
That's how it should be, Gopietta
Brother is gone Now what's the point in knowing?
In any case, the rituals have to be conducted
Appu must conduct the ritual
Otherwise, Brother's soul will not attain salvation
Isn't all that just a belief?
It may be that
But I must get it done
Like an orphaned ghost my brother's body alone put to rest without anyone knowing
His soul must not also be orphaned
It must not founder searching for rice and lemons
What will you tell Appu if he asks?
I'll have to tell him some lie
Till now, wasn't I telling and enacting lies?
I will get this done through some lies as well
What happened, Appu?
Uncle, you lied to me, what?
Whose final rituals did you make me do?
Grandfather's
Why did he say that it was for my father?
It means my father one right.
He also said my father's name
Ramanathan
My father is dead, isn't he? No
Lies! How did he die?
Who killed him? Who? Appu!
He was not murdered, Just listen to me. Don't say anything.
I don't want to hear anything. It's all lies. Appu!
Appu!
Is Appu telling the truth, Devi?
Mother. It's true that Brother died, but it was only an accident!
Then, why did you conceal it?
I told you
I cannot believe anything you say
O Lord,
Devi, Appu?
You have made him fatherless, haven't you? Mother, don't speak like that
Gopietta, Nobody understands us
Sister-in-law? I told her everything that happened But.
How will my daughter ever know peace? If she curses you
in this pained state of mind, You will not remain living
I am prepared to receive any curse. Gopietta, please don't meet anyone now
I must, I cannot hide and run anymore.
I cannot act anymore
How could you betray us like this, son
Grandfather!
I.
No, I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear anything
Didn't you step over his body to conduct this wedding?
If you had said one word, would I have stood by this?
When my Raman is lying dead, O Lord.
What all did you make us do?
You didn't even show my son's body to me! Didn't you bury him like an orphan,
like someone with nobody? How can I bear this? Tell me, how can I bear this?
Mother
No! I don't want to hear anything! I don't want to hear anything!
Mother, Get out of my sight!
Sister-in-law
Now, for your condemnation
I have the strength to bear it
You can curse me
I will take on any sin
Are you not satisfied? Now, what disguise do you want me to
put on? How do you want me to act? Even when I was in the
throes of pain I didn't cry I laughed, I sang holding back
endless grief, I did everything he wanted. Radha was married
Sister-in-law
Whatever I did was wrong, it was cruel, What penance should I perform?
What fire should I be consumed by?
I know you better than anyone else
At least now as you have wanted to, can you not burst into tears?
