Balaraman,
yes
a vehicle has come
is it?
what a high fever!
He has also vomited
some blood tests have been done
don't know the details
how is he now?
the difficulties have subsided a little bit
can we see uncle now?
not allowed to see him even in daytime, then how is it possible at night?
one cannot go past that accountant Menon who is guarding him.
on receiving the telegram l thought it is serious why simply
troubling us Menon, when he catches just a fever and cold?
no, now a days we must be careful even if it is a sneeze
there should not be space for complaints if anything happens
that Menon did not inform us
is sister, children and all here?
where else will they go?
everybody is here even the His Highness old
Mathilakam uncle has reached with grandson Balaraman
ha ha ha ha.
so Subhadra Varma from Madras too has arrived, ha ha ha ha
Does anybody remain?
Janaki had a son
one black Varma in Bombay what about him?
it seems he hasn't come; because such a man was not seen in the mess hall
no, there is no question of him not coming
grandpa,yes, don't we have to present our case before uncle His Highness dies?
Yes we have to,
but wait, but wait
one vehicle has come, it seems
yes, its an auto rickshaw
it must be him
who?
Janaki's son
do you know how long l have been waiting for
you? you said you will come at noon, isn't?
yes, the flight scheduled to land at Kochi, landed
at Thiruvananthapuram from there l came in a bus
train was preferable now how much money you must have lost?
leave it. How is uncle?
they say he is better, how can we know the truth?
hope mom and dad were with uncle only
how is it possible? We were allowed to see him only once
why?
His Highness is getting more short-tempered and stubborn as be grows older
now he doesn't like us that secretary Raman Menon is more powerful than His Highness.
it should have been nice if our Guptan gets some money or land before brother dies
that accountant Menon told that His Highness has fixed everybody's
share in his will, but will get it only after his death.
whom else to give?
No children. And Her Highness needs no money or property
l am sure that share of sustenance has been allocated
are you sure?
yes, we will be given a bit more than what he gives to others
Because brother Highness is one who respects art and artists. another thing
is that l am the only Brahmin who had married a woman from this family
even now, l will be given a gift if l perform Kathakali
when he is in a good mood, see, you remember this ring?
that was his present in recognition of my enactment of Roudra Bhima
you are in fool's paradise oh lord, My brother
had selected such a foolish Namboodiri for me.
though you are born in a Royal family, it is you who is a fool
brother Highness knows very well for what you, your
sisters, and their husbands are roaming around
brother will like us if we remain cool without
showing greed for money and property. also his soft
corner for me as an artist l am sure that if he
gives anything with pleasure, it will be to us.
Mom, you feel cold?
please dry mom's hair once again Saraswati, let me take that saffron box
l will take the saffron box Her Highness will get
annoyed in the morning itself if l dry her hair
enough, lt's time for Unni's arrival
His face will turn dark if l won't wait in the balcony when he comes
have you seen Unni, my girl?
no
Unni is fooling all of us
he is mischievous
how many days have l been waiting like this?
here comes Unni.
good morning
that's prince guptan
What?
son of princess Madhavi
tell him to go away
Unni won't come today also, is it?
But he will come one day
His Highness has woke up you are called, the manager said
yes, its Raman Menon, secretary of Udayanapuram Palace
no
he is in bed rest
no
Yes
sorry, it's not possible
l will tell him
oh, what a problem!
see Menon,
we are all his relatives, no?
why this hostility?
nothing, no use feeling bad about me
l can only obey what he orders
His order is not to let anybody upstairs
but the collector visited him yesterday
that's right
but his sisters and nephews don't have that privilege
what wrong did we do to deserve this?
sister, you are staying here
but we started instantly the moment we got the telegram informing about his sickness
that too in car Menon, do you know how much it costs to reach here from Madras?
whatever it be, l will arrange the amount if you give the voucher
we are not so cheap, we came rushing not for His Highness's property
if it was so, we would have stayed in this palace
some others have reached here after we are not like them
Kesavapillai should not say that
we are called by His Highness to stay here
only we are there to think about and sympathise with him
you are all enjoying life at far away places
from now none of you need trouble yourselves,
l will look after my brother's matters
Look, l am not going back to Madras
l use to say this since long back, there will not be anybody to look after uncle's
matters if we are not here, so l am also leaving this palace for anywhere.
Then what about your studies?
Studies come only after this His Highness is my first preference
l was really shocked hearing about his illness
ha ha ha.
Menon, squeeze some onion into his eyes let him cry lavishly
don't tease, He is the successor of His Highness Knowing that
very well, my dear brother His Highness named him Raja Raja Varma
who will become the Highness after Udaya Varma? Subhadra's son? Ha ha ha
l am the eldest among the nephews
Not only that, he is not born to a low-caste father
His father is an original Varma of Attingal palace.
though my husband is low-caste, He is well-educated
and dignified unlike your husband who is not well off
please stop it.
this is why he is not allowing to see him
See, l'll tell His Highness if you are again going to quarrel
and that will be the end of your entry to this palace, l warn
Where were you my girl?
l was with mom
His Highness has been asking about you for some time,Go to him
that low-cast girl has all the freedom, calling the King dad,
calling the queen mom, we born of the same blood ignored. hmm.
You said you are out
you will be out forever without delay
this is for everyone's information, Oh My Lord.
has he awaken?
yes, then again fell asleep
didn't give the medicine?
No, didn't disturb as he was sleeping, l thought will wake him up after you come
Dad, Dad
Fever is gone
Where were you my girl?
l was with mom
is her waiting over?
l left after taking her to bed
cried a little today
couldn't sleep yesterday
So many vehicles came
there was loud noise below
everybody has come
it was l who informed people at Madras and Kottakal
who told you to gave such a wide publicity?.
won't you give me some peace of mind even when l am bedridden?
excuse me, Highness l was worried when you vomited and fainted
you thought l am finished?
don't feel annoyed, l haven't even dreamt of such
a thing. only your sisters are informed the news
then how the news appeared in the newspaper?
that too was a fault on my side
why make it a news even if l sneeze? the phone bell is ringing, that Raman
Menon is fed up of answering calls. the ministers and MLAs are calling
won't repeat it
don't do as you like
you have to follow our orders, you got my point?
Kunjikrishnan, Yes my lord
you may go
as you wish.
sisters and children have come, they insist to see you
for what?
aren't they satisfied with what they have seen? an abnormal
lady is living here, nobody wants to see or hear her
how can we say no to people who have come from afar?
let them come when l die
tell them everybody's share is allocated
what a disturbance!
in the end Bhagirathi will become orphan
don't forget her even after my death though not your mother,
you are used to call her so consider her as your mother.
l know you will
l too have seen you as daughter, not as adopted daughter
Menon, shall l take a bath?
you can, but you want it today itself?
yes l want, the present uneasiness is because l am not taking bath
l will take medicine and breakfast only after that
you pluck flower just like Kalamandalam, Appukutty
Aasan's Damayanthi doing it, in Nalacharitham Kathakali.
hey, your face is blushed
why troubling me like this?
troubling? why Radha says like this? l am saying so out of love
you need not like me, please go
Princess Madhavi will scold me if she sees this
l am the love beetle roaming around the beautiful flower called Radha,
A beetle, beetle
Hello beetle,
what's this? Courting panchali or Naladamayanti?
in which drama are you acting?
where are you going? Stay there!
don't try to dance and flirt in front of the lords,
no use crying if anything happens
l didn't say anything
it was he
no explanation
A few more boys have come here innocent boys don't try to seduce them
don't scold her Madhavi, let that poor girl go
hmm, poor girl?
take her with you if she is poor
no need to cry for sympathy crocodile tears
what there sister?
she has started showing her mom's character
and l was telling her not to try it on our children
in the past when her mom conceived a bastard the princes had to take the blame.
at last when she was questioned in detail, that milkman Nair was found responsible
let me go princess
hmm, you may go
and tell all that we said and not said to His Highness
the princess of Udayanapuram palace!
what a pitiable plight for us! the girl who was delivered
by a sweeper is now in a higher position above us
why blaming others? blame it on our brother His Highness
he knows everything, we have two daughters who are grown-up
can't he give his nephews the position that a low-caste girl is given?
its high time my children got married
that's also right
wont l manage the Nilagiri estate better if l am given the charge?
that Raman Menon, who was an employee in the
secretariat,what bullshit does he know about tea garden?
uncle is considering us all as enemies.
is there any need for my son to toil in Bombay?
so uncle must please recommend to His Highness, that
give us anything if he plans to as early as possible
how will l say?
why don't you say?
you are in the position of his dad no?
no, not that
l was planning to ask some 4-5 acres of land for
Balaraman as bequeathal, how can l ask this in between.
oh l see,
so there's some intention in coming here with grandson
we are all asking for what is due how come grandpa deserve bequeathal?
in fact none of us has any right
everybody's share has been given
Udaya Varma earned all these properties by hard work, so if you are going to ask for
one's due. nobody will get anything l will see that nobody gets even a bit of soil.
grown so old, and still no death for crookedness.
Ravi, what's this? lnsulting elders? uncle, please pardon; he is talking nonsense.
no, he is talking with sense not good, yourtongue will cost you your life
somebody has come
there was 4-5 days respite for this disturbance.
who's that?
don't know there will be somebody everyday.
it sounds like Ramanattukara Anantha murthy
Sankari, the personification of voice, we worship you. Melodious
Sankari, the personification of voice, we worship you Melodious
Sankari, the personification of voice, we worship you
we worship you from within our hearts through repeated immortal hymns
we worship you from within our hearts through repeated immortal
hymns the universe was swayed by the sweetness of your inner heart
the universe was swayed by the sweetness of your inner heart
Melodious Sankari, the personification of voice, we worship you
the universe was swayed by the sweetness of your inner heart
we can see the whole universe in front of you as small as a hollowed palm.
the universe was swayed by the sweetness of your inner heart
Melodious Sankari, the personification of voice, we worship you
Sankari, the personification of voice, we worship you.
Melodious Sankari, the personification of voice,
we worship you
oh, l am happy now.
that fatigue and mood-off are gone
Kunjikrishna
yes sir
give it
Kochuraman
its really a luck or else, will you come on the day l took bath
after recovery, and will l get the chance to enjoy your music?
I never expect.
for me too this is an unforeseen visit. l wouldn't
have disturbed you if l knew that you are not well
no, no. lt was good that you came. Any way don't return today.
we will have supper and talk for sometime. What say?
it's my pleasure.
excuse me; you are not supposed to stay awake late into the night.
okay, l am not.
when the subject is music, it extends till dawn.
She was telling, dont do for today.
don't you know her? lt's my daughter.
yes, l know. Once you had told me you're learning dance, is it?
so take rest, Kunjikrishna
you may come
Kunjikrishna, don't forget to give food and gift to that orchestra team
is food ready?
will be ready by the time you take bath
everybody is here
how are you uncle? Are you ok?
our Balaraman also has come with me
l have a personal matter to tell you
sorry, its time to take medicine.
You are here for some days no? We will talk at a convenient time.
look, l have to say
gone
Brother didn't even allow to give your face
don't cry.
l am happy to know that you all have come
Kesava pillai, why unnecessarily took trouble by taking leave and spending money?
how can we remain comfortable there, after knowing that you are not well?
leave and expenses does not matter at all in this issue
Rajan was very eager to see his uncle
you become fat
Ambika keeps on crying
where is she?
smart girl; are you studying well?
yes
so we will see in detail before you leave
l, mom and Ambika are planning not to return
but this man will be alone there no?
that's no problem. l too am fed-up with Madras
Brother,
Ravi has come from Bombay
He came from Bombay by flight, immediately
after he got information, about your illness.
oh, are you traveling by aero plane now?
now you really look like a Bombay walla
l was shocked, Uncle.
Why? You thought l am dead?
uncle!
don't say such hard words; l can't bear it
l was just kidding man. Ha ha ha.
why Namboodiri lagged behind?
l always stays in back row
our plan is to admit Guptan in Kalamandalam
before that we want to know your opinion
at least l should follow uncle's line isn't it?
all the other nephews are useless guys, without any sense of art. so,
l am happy
l was worried if this art and literature will perish,
anyway its good that such a man has emerged.
did uncle really mean it, or was it a dig at me?
He really mean it.
Menon, why you wanted to see me urgently?
there is news
l came across one thing while searching a file in the shelf
what? ls it any gem?
yes, something like that
certain documents of property agreements
so all the hearsay is true
what is our share?
couldn't read in detail
that accountant Menon was with me
still l did a rough scan within the limited time
the palace and agricultural lands are, allocated in the names
of Princess Janaki, Princess Subhadra, and Princess Mathu.
Dad, we must somehow manage to, include the Nilgiri estate to
our part, for that can't we exchange other agricultural lands?
No, there is a separate document for estate
that is in the name of Radhika and Her Highness Bhagirathi
the vacant palace in Nilambur is also in their names
all these will turn out to be Radhika's asset after the death of Her Highness
to that low-cast girl?
how can that girl, born as a bastard to sweeper
Nair woman, have right over royal properties?
that l don't know
what a contemptible act has this uncle did!
ask such things to His Highness directly
l will ask, that's another thing
deserving nephews other than me also here.l will make them join me.
look Pillai, l am doing such favors, considering our maternal
relation. this is my bread and butter. Don't spoil it.
you don't worry. l will take care of you.
my concern is in losing the estate
you won't lose it
l have calculated some plans for it
in a sense it is good that the estate is written in the name of Radha
so it will not have to be divided into three.
l didn't understand anything
you won't understand anything
Once Radha becomes a member of our family, the estate
will automatically become part of ourfamily property
My Goddess, What a brain
lt's not my idea, this is the brain behind it
l am not getting a chance to talk to you in privacy.
Where are you hiding?
Any custom that you cannot come in front of human beings?
no.
please stay there.
l was thinking of telling certain things.
Wont your mind become stunted? by staying here continuously?
We all have only one life.
all these worldly pleasures must be experienced in our life time.
don't you want?
l am comfortable here.
what comfort?
cooking and serving to the King and the Queen thrice daily?
l will take you to Bombay one day.
dad is calling.
don't go.
Radha, do you think you can manage the estate in Nilagiri alone?
estate?
yes.
why should l manage it all?
then who else will look after the estate in the name of Radha?
l am even ready to settle down in Nilagiri after constructing a bungalow there.
the climate is very nice there.
Oh, God! l don't understand anything.
Oh, l see! You might have followed her.
yes.
l will tell aunt, that you are indulging in dirty things.
l don't mind. you better not indulge in dirty things.
how dare you advise me?
you may go.
there is a rumor, that there is some settlements, regarding properties.
l would like to know the truth.
whatever you heard is right.
the will is registered.
all the assets except the estate, are in the name of 3 sisters and others.
estate is in the name of Radhika, Her Highness, and Malathi.
and some unaccounted gold and money. that will be divided equally.
but you will get only after the King's death.
you are getting the alimony regularly.
so we will get it only after his death.
Know?
the astrological calculation shows that, there
is a chance for him, to die at the age of 84.
after that even the lord of death, cannot touch him until the age of 96.
so we better take 96.
so we will have to wait for 1 0-36 years.
by that time all of us will be dead.
we are all going to live, at the most for another 1 0 years.
now itself there are signs of weakness.
Guptan, no use in staying awake. Go to sleep.
don't desire the King's property.
dad, please sit. Don't go.
we shall meet uncle and present our case.
ask for immediate disbursal of the due.
yes. You ask for share, and he will give it instantly.
what a fool you are, my Guptan!
don't you know uncle after all these years?
that old man is a ghost, who guards his treasure.
think about anything practical.
why not file a case?
we have to prove that old man is insane like his
wife, then the written will become invalid.
dad, if we proceed with the case, we will lose whtever is due to us.
don't think of foolish plans.
then what will we do?
no, nothing doing. live comfortably with regular food, and sleep. That's all.
if you give one share to me, and Balaraman, l will tell you an idea.
will you give me?
will give, definitely.
war is the duty of a warrior. we must fight a war. there's
nothing wrong in killing someone during a war. its an honour.
what? kiling? that too your own uncle?
haven't you heard of the story of, Krishnan annihilating his uncle Kamsan?
haven't you heard of Arjunan shooting the holy
arrow on, the chest of his brother Karnan?
that was not unrighteousness.
there is no discretion at war whether it is your father, son, uncle or nephew
there is only your enemy. the enemy.
what's that?
why at this odd-hour?
you look really horrified.
what happened? Tell me.
l saw a dream.
Oh, that's all?
dad, you should be careful.
there are enemies around you.
shame
what's this? Why worrying like this, just after seeing a dream
Nothing will happen.
l know that all the faces, laughing around are insincere.
all are interested in property.
not because l don't like to give. am l going to
take all these properties along with my life?
but when seeing their greed
once you are married to a responsible person, l don't worry in dying.
go and sleep.
who did the last move?
if you don't feel sleepy, l shall sit with you
No.
then go and sleep. this is my routine.
you said you have 2 month's leave, and why leaving so suddenly?
l have an urgent matter. Will return after 3-4 days.
but why don't you tell a word to uncle?
don't waste time for that. Come.
if he asks about me, you may tell him.
oh, he has no time to care about you. Leave fast without wasting time.
no. you need not come. 3 people starting together is a bad omen.
Ravi has come.
Praise the lord!
do you remember what l said?
Yes,
don't think that Udayavarma, is just an old man.
though he don't have the power, and glamour, he still is a king.
he has that position.
not only that, he is honored in government level.
A small mistake, and you are all will be in jail.
this poor blind man will be spared.
His death should be executed, in such a way that it
should be, either related to senility, or by an accident.
not even a trace of murder, should be left behind.
will it be possible?
it must be possible.
anyone can kill anybody.
Even you can do that.
the one who is assigned for the task...
must be a professional. he must be wise and skilled.
no one should doubt him. by his personality and behavior
Forget this plan. if you don't get such an ideal candidate.
lt wont be difficult in Bombay.
Bombay is the land of underworld kings. Do you know that, grandpa?
what do this blind man know?
l am reminding you one thing again. Unity is strength.
it's better for all of us if we stay together.
don't reveal anything to the women at all.
l won't tell Madhavi even if my head is gone.
so, shall l go, grandpa?
wish you all the best
lt's good
l don't want
lt's good
don't want
lt's made in Japan
how much?
400, 500 and 600
very costly!
hey, please come man.
What a bad omen l had today!
Highness?
Highness,
where were you? you want anything? New Japanese items are here.
nothing now.
l have come in search of another man.
Mamachan? You like duplicates?
not that
l want to see that Kabeer dada.
An urgent matter
Kabeer dada. you didn't know the news? what? he's jailed
is it?
the whole gang is in jail for murdering a Marwadi
why decent royal people are in dada's company?
that's, for another reason
say openly, what ever be you need l will arrange.
you insist on Kabeer?
No not like that
Say clearly You will get enough goondaas in Bombay.
tell me
isn't this a matter you yourself can handle? ls it necessary
to hire a goonda, from Bombay to kill a 60-year old man?
Things are not as simple as you think
Uncle is a King,
having high status in society
everybody will be arrested, if anybody sense doubt in our moves
So the plan should be executed very carefully
in short, u mean it should be a silent death,
is it?
OK, let's see
Choudhary Saahib, are you fine?
fine
Look him
waiter
give us some water first, sure sir
that man is suitable-Choudhary Saahib.
How is he?
Or else, the man sitting next to him, Sunder Singh. Both are good.
How is he?
if you want, the deal can be finalized and the advance paid now itself.
No, no. l don't want him. he is having an outlook of a goonda
do you think goondas will have Prem Nazir's
looks? Coudhary has the better looks, than others
but to stay in the palace, one requires a decent personality.
if you insist on the perfect person, l will have to come
Oh, what a charm,
Stop joking. Tell me if you can arrange or not.
Or else l have to look for other alternatives.
so you didn't like none of these guys?
there's a man. But we must convince him.
who is it?
a demon.
But if we get him convinced, done.
He will kill the man smoothly
it's not like butchering chicken and goats He knows how to do it systematically
and he is not the type of killing directly.
will kill only if all the conditions are suitable.
how does he look?
He looks exactly like you.
Oh!
Yes, and he is well built.
His color is golden, not black like you.
His face is round, not like your's
then why did you say he looks like me?
l was just giving a rough idea.
now where is he?
song
What are you telling brother?
How can i kill a human atleast even i didn't kill any chiken yet
My god, l can't even think of it.
haven't you told me that you want to, regain your ancestral
home after making, some money by finishing off someone?
that was just my wish dear Jamaal.
Just a wish?
See, a word should be a word.
Do you know that most of the millionaires, in
Bombay have amassed money, by killing and stealing!
l'm still doing this meager business, because l don't have the guts to do so.
Believe, it's the God who gave this chance.
and not because there are no goondaas... in Bombay.
we don't have the right, to annihilate God's creations.
if so, do we have the right, to relinquish the 2 lakh rupees, that God gives to us?
Abdulla, lf you are saying philosophy, l too have certain things to say.
The Koran says: Your name is written... on every single
grain that you eat. Do you know what is meant by that?
you are destined to get this 2 lakh rupees.
if you give a share of it to me, l also will get the benefit.
Please agree this deal.
anyway, don't reject this offer.
l will tell you the rest. Come.
Don't worry, come.
please come.
Highness, you are really a lucky man.
How ever i made him agree
now it's your turn to explain to him... the details of your plans.
l also will reach there, at then right moment, if needed.
what say?
adjust your cloth properly
Unni
Wows,
isn't it Unni?
no
then who?
Don't know
Yes, its Unni, Unni
don't mind, it's my aunt.
she is a real nut.
look, he is not in a good mood.
Unni
Mom

Unni
what's this Unni? did you become so indifferent to me?
l'm fed up of waiting long for you.
Aunt, this is not Unni, this is my friend.
don't lie, l will kill you.
you were all keeping my Unni, away from me, isn't it?
come unni, mom has so many things to tell you
mom, l'm not your son, what's this Prince?

Unni, everybody is keeping me away from you. you shouldn't leave me
no, l won't go
l'll come; mom, get up
she is not normal and she's behaving, not knowing who are you
what are you upto?
uncle, this is my friend Ananthan Namboothiri
he is from Plakkurissi illam, came with me to meet you
come on Unni. come here
where were you all these years?
come
this entrance was grand!
lt was like the story of Urvasi's curse, turning good to Arjunan.
it is a bless in disguise if not could he manage to get in the harm?
luck is on our side, what is his name?
Ananthan Namboodiri, plakkurissi illam
does he know how to behave, like a Brahmin?
yes, he knows a little bit of Sanskrit, and literature
he has some taste in music too
he has an Eranadan accent.
keep an eye on him always
we should not be fools
you understand
yes
Princess
think she is asleep
any problem if l take my hand?
no, the medicine is strong
she will get up only after at least 4 hours
princess
how can l get out of here?
hey, what did you call me?
Princess?
then what should l call?
l am seeing a palace a king, a queen, and a princess for the first time.
so l don't have an idea how to behave.
see l am not a princess
then who are you?
me, me,
l am a woman living in everybody's mercy
oh, l see
so what should l call you now?
Radha
hi, Radha?
ha.ha.ha, it's Fine. so where are lady companions?
you didn't tell me the way out.
go this way, and you'll find a ladder
get down to a corridor that lands to a small dining hall
turn left;
there you'll see the verandah, of the Bungalow.
on the right side is a well
l'll tell you the way. asking for the way, inside the queen's bedroom?
you seem to be a jovial type.
nothing of the sort.
still there is a little bit.
if so you better stop it
you have been ordered to see him.
whom?
who else to order here, other than His Highness?
the real King Udayavarma.
don't you know, that l don't like strangers?
Reverence to uncle,
and the zest to become closer to you. that's why l brought him here
Ok, it is not because of that.
still, isn't it improper to allow, strangers to live inside this home?
but look, Uncle, you are an admirer of arts, he is an
artist. so there is propriety of artistic meeting? besides,
he is interested in various subjects, such as the architectural
aspects and the historical background, of our palace.
for that where else can he go?
what is your relation with Plakkurissi illam?
at Plakkurissi illam
my name is Ananthan Namboodiri, Nambhoodiri
not that
l asked, how you are related to, Krishnan Namboodiri.
Vamadevan Namboodiri has married,Krishnan Namboodiri's daughter.
And he is related to this man,
How are you grandpa?
grandpa, grandpa,
he is no more.
died? don't say bull shit.
l had seen him at Guruvayoor last month.
No. he is not dead. The one who died was another uncle.
Krishnsn Namboodiri's music concert, is fantastic.
l had attended a few of them.
ok, is the partition at your family over?
partition
so shall l arrange for his stay, at that vacant building?
for staying?
what do you say Menon?
Let him go after staying here for one or two days.
as you wish.
are you hygienic kind of a person?
extremely hygienic.
the youngsters need not be so.
why are you staring at me like this?
no, nothing.
lt is midnight. l came to see what you are doing, staying awake.
nothing, l couldn't sleep.
you seem to be restless.
me?
no, nothing of the sort.
then switch off the light and go to sleep.
Hands up
was it you?
all of you would have been died now.
be careful while handling this.
lt's dangerous.
Does that Raman Menon have any doubt?
l didn't feel so.
Beware of the dwarfs! They are very cunning.
don't leave us to risk.
don't worry. On a good morning you will know, that the king Udaya Varma is dead.
Remember, l must get the reward without dues, the moment his burial starts.
Or else all of you will be in danger, as you said.
No, we will not deceive you. You will be paid, more than what you are offered.
if so, you go to sleep.
Let me plan things.
come
this is the routine.
l will reach only half the way, when all the others finish.
You too are eating well.
have some more butter milk.
give him some butter milk.
did you like the curries?
really fine;
especially the curd curry.
Why paayasam today? Any special occasion?
paayasam is a regular item in the menu.
is it? So l'm lucky.
Today's preparation was, under Saudamini's supervision.
who is Saudamini?
Me.
really nice.
Delicious like her.
Saudamini is satisfied.
You are praised by a Namboodiri, from a renowned family.
what a charistmatic face,
lt's full of elegance of a Brahmin.
Ravi said he is a scholarly person.
The only son of a renowned family.
who?
Ananthan Namboodiri.
hmm he is famous.
But not sure in which field.
careful. Your calculations may go wrong.
its right that one namboodiri doesn't like... another of the same caste.
sister, if you think that they are matching, why not proceed?
did you call me, uncle?
yes. called.
Did your friend leave?
no
why?
he doesn't feel like leaving.
that's not right.
l don't like a grown up man roaming, around
like this in a place. where young women live.
Tell him to leave.
no, uncle. He is not a problem man.
He is very decent
no more explanation
l allowed him to stay here for two days. Now what?
nothing, he,
Menon will tell him if you find it difficult.
What say?
just give me the permission,
and l will throw him out.
No, l will tell him.
what's your plan man?
l should be blamed for bringing, a donkey like you here.
look, don't say this to me.
l acted like Ananthan Nampoothiri, behaved
decently, and did whatever, me to do, What next?
you should have gone closer to him by realizing his weaknesses.
but you wasted time, looking here and there. you should have glued
Am l fevicol to glue?
Yes, you should have like Fevicol
l'll keep in mind.
it's too late. you better leave before you are thrown out.
Look, shall l try a small trick.
what trick?
The harem garden,
is filled with the spring of music again.
The harem garden
is filled with the spring of music again.
like an auspicious evening.
when the bright light in the palm. Shines over somber shadow.
The harem garden
is filled with the spring of music again.
in a forgotten story,
l became the warm teardrop, in the Sarayu river.
as the poet wear a new golden crown when intoxicated by the nectar of music
here today
the harem garden
is filled with the spring of music again.
in a forgotten story,
l was flotting like wild flower, in the river Yamuna.

sorry
l'm ready to leave
it was my wish to sing before you
realized that l wouldn't get a chance
so please excuse me
who is your master?
nobody to name.
But in the deep of my heart, l consider my father as the master.
what's his name?
tell me
your style of singing, reminds me of an old one
Vamadevan Namboodiri of Plakkurissi, illam, is my father.
lt was he who taught me the basics.
l had the privilege for that, only till the age of 5 when he died.
wish you all the best.
Clarity, purity and momentum, are all blended well.
take this
a small gift
l will leave tomorrow morning.
wait,
l never thought he is so smart.
Your departure will be decided tomorrow.
what say? as you wish
How was the song?
did you like the song?
who ever sings, this girl will find some fault in it.
Like no serenity of voice, it was gimmicking etc etc.
Tell if this one has any minus points directly.
How was that, man
Good job, Well done,
now you are not only the friend of him,mine too.
what a wonder is that Krishnan Namboodiri has not
mentioned a single word, about such a grandson.
he didn't like my voice at all. He used to say that, it was like an oiled voice.
then should the voice be like, beating on the rocks?
Music should be melodious for hearing.
there is a saying, nobody values the jasmine in his garden.
oh, Do you have a sense of humor to say so?
anyway some improvement is there
even the stone will gain beauty as a result of
close contact with the pollen grain of jasmine
not beauty, its fragrance.
this is right
don't you have nothing to say?
l don't have the guts to say, such things in front of uncle
oh, the Malayalam language is saved,
look, don't you have to inform people, at home that you will be late by few days?
no need of it.
After my studies, my main hobby is traveling.
each round takes 2-3 months, to return home.
then what about your marriage?
marriage,
not yet over.
what do you mean?
that means didn't get a chance.
ok, do you have any other talent, other than music?
yes, he knows many things, Sanskrit, literature, poetry
oh, you know poetry too?
if so, let me see.
musk bindi,
Unni,
where is my Unni?
Radha, call my Unni.
Unni,
what is this mom?
she threw away everything and pushed me
for saying that man is not Unni.
didn't my Unni come Radha?
yes he came.
Saraswathi was telling lie. l saw him just now.
then what did he say? Will he come now? will come.
Mom, get up and sit on the coat.
Saraswati, bring milk
l have to tell you something
oh, who is this? Radha! how do you manage to stay unnoticed?
This is a real talent
l have learned this in my childhood.
lf l happen to come across the Princesses, they will scold me
l got names such as, low caste girl, bad omen, etc
Addressed 'Radha' and 'mol' only recently
now can't you enjoy that privilege?
why should l?
l know that, they are all showing hypocrisy.
hey, what's this? Are you crying?
l feel bad seeing girls crying,
especially Radha.
l like pleasant face always.
smile, let me see.
please, smile.
wow! How beautiful
come on, tell me. What you wanted to say?
will you come near my mom?
will it be foolish?
she thought that you are Unni.
l, am fed up of saying lies.
l soothe her by saying, your son will come
tomorrow, day after tomorrow & things like that
poor mom.
How long can l give her hope?
Do you mind to coming?
l will come
how did this Unni dies?
he went for excursion from the school. 7 students
died when the bus overturned. Unni was one among them
he was just 1 0 years old.
Couldn't bring the dead body. Not much of the body was regained.
mom is not informed of his death.
We said investigating, he will come today tomorrow,
and many more excuses.She is told that he is missing.
at last she became abnormal.
she was violent in the beginning. but spared only me
your mom?
l don't remember the woman, who delivered me.
she abandoned me when l was 1 year old.
from then onwards, this abnormal woman is my mother.
Saraswathi will say, Her Highness looked after
me, when l was child, as normal women do.
my mom likes me so much.
father
why do you make my child cry?
no, nothing, l was asking about Unni
why is that girl narrating the story to all?
l was asking,
Menon, l cannot go any where.
tell them, l am not well.
did l do anything wrong?
none of us did any wrong. lt was destiny.
l had agreed to go to, the collector's bungalow don't know what will happen
mom
Unni
did you come?
come close to mom
l am chained, you may come
where were you?
Didn't you see Unni coming?
l won't allow Unni to leave me.
please don't leave me
will you go?
no
Unni has lots of works to do.
He will come and sit besides you, when he will free.
right?
yes
there are enemies all around us.
The news is that uncle will command, the army from Mathilakam.
Spies are prowling in the palace. Beware
shall l unlock this chain?
unlock it Radha.
do you fear, Unni?
why should he mom?
are you coming out with me mom?
no,
hold tight in my hands, or else you will suppurate from busy
look, my lord,
Please come. l'll show you a scene.
look at Her Highness, will she look like an abnormal women?
locking her inside a room is foolishness,
Look how better she feels.
Ananthan Namboodiri have you, started prostrating prayers in public?
l have to do it 5 times daily. lt all turned irregular after l came here.
you can prostrate as you like in Bombay if you finished the task, as early
by the way, how did you plan the murder?
Everybody is waiting anxiously.
everybody?
So there are a lot of satans behind this?
then how we paying you, such a big amount?
Look, you should finish off, that old man soon as possible.
they are all waiting for you, come fast.
you may go. We will follow.
who are the others waiting?
those who spend the money. Come, let's go.
wait, for a minute.
Ok, let's go.
why are you taking lethal weapons now? Keep it there.
a killer should always be well prepared.
Can't predict from where the attack comes.
Come.
sit down
no
he has knife with him
so you have came with weapons?
yes
is it time to take weapons?
you must succeed with your wisdom.
You keep it all safe.
they all want to kill him fast.
don't listen to foolishness.
The first stage is clean.
now you need intelligence, and shrewdness.
you should get more close to Udayavarma.
your relation should grow till you get, the freedom to enter his bedroom.
then its easy.
l know that
and you should consult me before killing.
it's not possible
why?
l don't like the credit of my success, being shared by any others.
don't waste my valuable time by calling, me for such
discussions in future. Understand these people.
he's gone
looks like hess superb.
my dear Janaki tell the thing plainly without any formality.
we have found a boy for Soudamini.
Brother must talk to him.
who is the boy?
Ananthan Namboodiri
looks like he likes her
once he had appreciated her.
does it means that he likes her?
maybe if you talk to him
Janaki, you may go.
Krishna is in search of, new springs of cow-herdesses.
in search of new springs of cow-herdesses. new, new,
in search of new springs of cow-herdesses my mind,
teacher,
sing the song without losing the melody, knowing the real meaning of the lines.
oh! don't you know the teacher?
She is academy award winner.
is it a license to sing as she wish?
did radha will get its melody accurately?
sir, this is not music concert. This is Mohiniyattam
if you insist on the emotion, the rhythm will be in disorder.
who said? Ok, let me try.
Krishna is in search of new spring, of cow-herdesses
krishna is in search of new springs... of cow-herdesses
my mind is grief stricken
krishna is in search of.. new springs of cow-herdesses
my mind is grief stricken
krishna is in search of, new springs of cow-herdesses
My Radha is a golden star, resting in the heart of the blue sky
The beauty that is you, enriched by gorgeousness
just know the striking grace of penance.
krishna is in search of, new springs of cow-herdesses
this Radha is the girl who, undertook penance in hundred lives
my will keep on melting,
unaware of the fact that, my ill-feeling will keep on melting
krishna is in search of, new springs of cow-herdesses
my mind is grief stricken
Krishna is in search of, new springs of cow-herdesses
Radha
why are you not doing any arrangements to kindle
the lamp at dusk, and worshipping the lights?
don't waste time.
what's wrong with this girl?
this is a signal
she has got something to hope for
we are planning to make a visit, to your house.
but,
you are welcome
Am happy.
we would like to have a marital alliance, from Plakkurissi family.
why not? but will Prabhakara varma and, Ravi varma will agree to it?
they may support it
but l don't think so
why?
no, nothing, l was just guessing so
we were right now talking about you, Mr.Varma. Long life assured.
Ananthan Namboodiri likes Saudamini.
get up,
what's this?
l say get up
father,
go away.
Dressed up to show-off. ldiot.
hey, what a senseless talk is this?
you are senseless.
Get out,
l will break your legs, if you step inside this mansion.
are you insulting after inviting?
no, l won't bear this.
This is really bad.
what a good alliance, You spoiled it. l made brother say ok too.
good alliance?
My god, how can l explain this?
he is the one and only son, of a great family.
What a glorious Namboodiri.
what qualification do you have, to deserve such a man?
l will done this marriage with the help, of brother in spite of your opposition.
my dear janu, he is neither a namboodiri nor a nair. then?
then, you better not know that for the time being
no, l must know who is he
oh! l am in a dilemma. My goddess,
what a trial, my god!
don't make it an issue by giving publicity.
why you reveal it, Uncle? Everybody used to say my
father is a fool. But the bigger fool is uncle.
then do you say that l must, marry my daughter to a man, of another caste?
enough of crying and complaints,so stop now
what is revealed should not be passed on to anybody.
are you sure, the children have no idea about this?
they don't know, my Soudamini and Mohini will
die broken, if they come to know about this
they are so fond of their uncle
then what about my Ambika?
God! What will l do?
uncle, please try, not to afflict him a painful death.
what is destined will take place.
act as if you know nothing about this.
don't forget that if you do foolery, your own children
and your husbands, will be put behind the bars.
how can we bear this uncle?
you have to
didn't Gandhari held on, even when her 1 01
children died, in the war of the Kurukshetra?
this is nothing!
does anybody want to lose property.. worth around 50 lakh rupees?
if so, stop this plan at this stage.
Tell frankly.
think no one want it so.
no right?
Ravi, tell him the third phase,may be begun.
check
trapped. ls it?
yes
horse
castle
no way out for the king?
no
l accept defeat
the king fell to a pawn.
l accept defeat.
see, since you won, shall l ask you, one thing?
do you have any idea in your mind, to save the king?
just to know
no
l am not playing wisely. All the moves were flop.
today l don't have the mood.
Something is troubling me.
what's wrong?
don't know
l feel mood-off
in a sense, its all problems.
so it's better not to think.
do you want to go there, or stay with me?
that is,
then you stay here. l won't sleep.
So we will spend the night telling stories.
as you wish
what's this? l was really frightened.
l was hiding as Radha was coming
now you are trying to evade me.
You know how painful it is?
What is lacking in me?
l didn't say so.
you need not say.
Guptan has the sense to understand that.
look, all love Radha with an eye on money. But l am not like
that. you yourself should introduce, our relationship to uncle
l am going.
Radha, please listen.
Don't you give me the consideration, of an artist?
l can sing and dance. l am the only nephew having interest, in poetry and literature.
if so prove it by singing. Let me hear.
who invited you now to this scene?
what? You only invited me, to this place no?
get lost. What a disturbance. Radha, Radha,
look, if she doesn't like you, then why are you following her?
don't talk to me. You are the main reason behind Radha's
dislike to me. you have the egoistic feeling. that you are
an artist. A man with good voice. need not be a good
singer. There is a limit for patience. Mind it you monkey.
you only look like a monkey.
our knowledge is that there is no musician, as great as you in South lndia.
it was recognized by the Government and the people also.
Without that you won't get all these, awards and Padmasree.
but that Ananathan Namboodiri says that, all
these were arranged by, the power of money.
oh, l see
you must come to the palace one day. we can't bear the
haughtiness, of that monkey. That's why l came in person.
then l want to see him.
Kochurama, lets go to the palace.
ok, we will go.
fine but the lack of practice is very evident.
it's long since l read
you should practice daily. Don't waste the God-given talents.
dad,
look who is this, Come, come
please sit
don't you know,
Ramanattukara Ananthan Namboodiri? He had won 'padmasree' recently.
no
but see, he is very close to,
l know he must be Ananthan Namboothiripad, isn't it?
yes.
l have heard a lot about you.
what have you heard? The snob who bought Padmasree, by paying
money, the ignorant who is, gimmicking with voice. lsn't it?
why are you talking like this?
he knows. See man, confidence is good. But you should not be proud.
l don't understand what you say.
l will make you understand.
l would like to sing with you.
Kochurama, yes
l am not for a competition.
l have heard that music is an ocean.
l am a boy standing amused, on the banks of it.
And you are one who swims in it.
l am unworthy to even sit in front of you.
l don't need your concession of praises.
Start the music.

please allow me to touch your feet
never bow your head in front of anybody
how come you were born in my family, you wicked.
l did a mistake uncle, l won't repeat.
this is not fault. This is a cunning trick.
what do you gain by calumniating like this?
do you know what did that Ananthamurthy, told about you?
no
he was wondering how a thistle did grow, up in such a beautiful garden.
severe beating is the apt medicine, for such behavior.
please don't scold him.
He might have done it for a joke.
what pastime? ls misleading decent people a joke?
as that Moorthy said, l will cut down this thistle
if l happen, to hear such things about you.
understand?
yes
what yes?
donkey,
see mister, today we will have dinner together. You must come there.
ok, l will come.
now l understand the snake will bite, if pushed to the extreme.
hello thistle
thistle is your, monkey
hey, listen.
are you dining with His Highness tonight
yes
this is the ideal chance.
Don't be late.
l want to see that old man's corpse, in this palace tomorrow morning;
you understand?
outsiders think what a lucky man am l.
owner of large amount of property.
positions,
epicurean immersed in dance and music.
but who knows the truth?
it's like a train.
lt's dashing and whistling with ecstacy.
but burning inside
your today's song was superb
no, it's more than that l felt like my last wish is fulfilled.
Really satisfied.
there was a musician, called Amirkhan Sahib in Malabar.
you sing in his style.
he had sang a lot here during, my grand uncle's days.
we had slept in the same bedroom.
he might be no more now.
died
is it?
do you feel hungry?
shall we go out?
then don't you want food?
we will have it after that.
there's bright moonlight today.
isn't it nice to talk in the open space?
me and Raman Menon use to go out, like this once in a while.
and simply walk here and there till dawn.
so, shall we go?
just a minute.
blood relation. do you feel that there is such a relation?
relationship is in one's heart. Your relative may be your enemy.
l don't trust anybody
me too?
you? l have faith in you.
you are a good man man with a heart .
do you know?
my Radha, she is my greatest asset.
it was she who made up, for the absence of my Unni,
she, she is daughter. my own daughter
are you shocked?
you thought she is born in my relationship, with that servant
no
she might not be my own daughter not born in my blood, but she was born in my mind.
Accepted as my real daughter she is equal to a thousand sons.
l want some one to take care of her, even after my death.
she is not at all ambitious but l know she likes you very much.
my lord, l am not the person as you think.
l am happy.
you are like my Unni now.
careful
my Unni would have been your age, if he was alive today. and your color. as
innocent face like this. you held my hand when l wavered. this is my Unni's hand.
this is my Unni's hand.
isn't it so?
you are drunken too much
bull shit. what a foolishness did you do?
it was a desolate palce. midnight you could
have finished him of, by just pushing him down.
You wont get another golden chance.
Are you a killer?
don't question the merit of a killer?
This is not as easy killing a hen. l have to kill a human being. Don't forget it.
you set out knowing this no?
yes
Just killing a man is simple.
anyone can do
You want me to kill you now?
l will do it without anyone else noticing it.
what are you upto? l was just saying
what?
there must be a change.
be it music or murder, l always want to do things in a novel way.
l could have killed him yesterday
but what use in resorting to old, conventional ways?
a killer always want to have, mental satisfaction.
bull shit.
We spend money not for a killer's mental satisfaction. for our plans materialize.
don't worry.
you need to own the property, isn't it?
let me talk to His Highness. As he is in terms with me now, he will agree to it.
Can't we avoid bloodshed?
good idea.
You better be a parish priest or a preacher.
shall l tell a truth, dear friend?
l also feel like becoming one.
l will tell a truth.
you may be thinking that, we members of the royal family
are simple. warriors' blood flows through our veins.
We don't mind killing and being killed. We won't spare
you if you try to fool us. Understand? You donkey!
hey, highness
hey, what
oh! This is like holding a tiger's tail.
l'm trapped here my god.
you prefer to have a compromise, is it?
no, l was just kidding to, Ravivarma Thampuran. you took it serious?
l'm working out a new strategy. a plan that even God will not know
what's it?
come on, tell
l do not disclose my plans.
l only prove it by executing.
l know that you are cunning.
but you have started showing your, true color to me too.
that's not fair.
l too know bigger tricks.
Arjunan killed Bhishma by placing eunuch as a cover. Do you know that story?
l have heard it
remember that always.
l had fought a war. Know strategies too. So don't be a eunuch.
This is 20th century, Last of the 4 ages, Did you understand.

you will come to know, about it at the right time.
Balaraman

What's the name of the person whom, you are going to meet?
yes, he has a name. Abdulla.
Abdullah? Who is that?
lsn't it? His name is something like that.
look, he is the one.
but he is not Abdulla.
l am so forgetful.
what is this, Sankunni Nair? This man always forget my name.
Sankunni Nair? Who is that?
l'll tell you. Please come.
oh, my Jamal! Don't you have sense? l had told you
a hundred times that, l am Ananthan Namboodiri,
you have improved a lot.
but this is not going to last long.
what happened? things are all messed up.
We will talk in detail. First you hire a room outside.
why? Can't l stay in this palace?
you cannot survive here, with this type of language.
don't worry. Everything will be okay.
no one will understand if you say like this. no
then you come. not in that direction. come, walk.
this is like holding a tiger's tail, my Abdu.
people in this royal family are not as, harmless as we think.
there is an elderly person. Sakuni. he is a blind man with a 1 000 eyes.
that grand old man is pulling the, ropes from behind.
he told me a simile the other day.
l didn't get the meaning at that time. Later l got it's meaning
what was that?
Arjunan assassinated Bhishman.. placing eunuch as a
cover. So don't be a eunuch. This is 20th century.
Oho! When did such an event take place?
hey, that's a legend.
oh, l see! Old story?
this is the use of reading good books
look, what is the big meaning.. in this mythology?
meaning?
they may be planning to kill His Highness, with the
help of someone else, and project me as the killer.
if all the others together give evidence, against
me that l am the killer, won't l be trapped?
when l am questioned, what can l say, if they ask for what did l come?
When they come to know that l have disguised in a pseudo name
No doubt, you will be caught. Now a days the food in jail is good. Our Kabir dada
told me when he came, out in parole that he was served, biriyani twice a day in jail.
you trapped me into this ditch and still.
l did so with a good intension, dear Abdulla. Now no question
of looking back. Let's escape before anything happens.
l thought of that option too.
they will kill His Highness the moment, they come to know that we have escaped.
and what will we do if they say that we, are absconding after the assassination?
everybody will believe it.
this is like some old saying, my namboodiri. lf l don't tell the
truth, dad will eat dog meat. lf l tell the truth, mom will be beaten.
tell me what should l do.
my dear son, anyway we are trapped in tis game. Why not we change sides?
you are not bold enough to kill,
His Highness. forget it. We are not killing him.
then they will kill..
and we will be indicted.
we won't let them do it.
that means?
do you have the guts to block them?
yes, l have.
Menon,
what's your opinion about our, Ananthan Namboodiri?
fine body.
not that.
Will he accept an employment, in this palace?
l don't think so.
lts difficult for artists to work, based in a responsible post.
Still, we will have a try.
he is trustworthy.
not only that. l have certain other ideas also in my mind.
l know, l know.
how do you know that?
it's about Radhika, isn't it?
you
you are really a wise man.
our Ananthan Namboodiri is waiting to see you.
waiting to see me?
Does he need permission to enter?
Tell him to come in.
yes majesty.
There is another man also with him.
just a minute, Menon.
he is coming.
who is the new guy?
Sankunni Nair, is one of the managers in my house.
where are you from?
he is from near my house.
did you come to take him away?
l won't allow him to go back home.
no need.
he wanted to discuss, a few family matters with me.
do you mind if he stays, with me for some time?
no, no.l have no problem. if you want you may bring all at,
your home to this place and stay with you. lt's my pleasure.
so you may proceed.
l was going through some accounts. Thought of calling you. Anyway, not now.
we will see in the night. okay
What did you say? eh.. come here
my namboodiri, you are really smart. a king is dealing with you like a friend.
what a nice man!
Did you notice the glory on his face?
now l understand that you said is right even if any killer elephant
tries, or offer gold one cannot feel like hurting this man.
don't we have to go to the other satan?
we will go at night.
not now?
then come.
who is this new guy?
he is my friend and aide.
what is your new plan?
we will plan together
there's nothing of the sort.
He says he can't carry out the assassination.
what?
yes that's the truth. l cannot kill anybody. l am not a killer
then for what did you come to this place, accepting the advance amount? To shave?
Ravi varma.. let him say what he has to say.
nothing in detail. We have defected.
not you, let him say.
l have no experience killing any body. l tried my best to do that, but my limbs
are shivering. l am a poor singer. l agreed to take up this task because,
l was badly in need of money. l have spent only 1 000 rupees from, the
advance. l will give back the rest. shall we settle things in a peaceful way?
l will kill and bury both of you dogs!
Kesavapillai,
it is wise to keep mum sword should be fought with a sword
and, an arrow should be tackled with , another arrow.
let the boys go.
don't show off citing similes. l have seen a lot of dadas in Bombay.
me too
yes, so we are not going to withdraw in fear.
l became a bit closer to His Highness. not only that, since we have decided to
retreat, isn't it fair to reveal the intention behind our visit
we should keep manners every where.
You may go only after enjoying life.. with Udayavarma for a few more days.
so shall we go?
you may go my dear boys
didn't l warn you that sweetness, is increasing? now see what has happened
will they be dangerous uncle?
the control is still at our hands
don't be late
l run out of ideas, my lord l had told them itself that
this, ill be a foolishness. But nobody gave a heed to it.
now we will be losing whatever we were, about to get, my
Madhavi its better escape from here, as early as possible
where will we go?
Do you have a house of your own?
will that Muslim boy tell all the stories to brother?
who knows? Let's hope that won't.
And if he say it will be harmful to him also.
hey, it's me.
oh, you frightened me
oh, you frightened me Subadra aunty and uncle started, packing everything.
We will have to escape at any moment. We also must get ready, isn't it dad?
after getting ready, where will we go?
who are you?
me
you felon,
were you cheating me all these days?
who are you?
tell me, you dog.
Tell me
please excuse me
please have the patience to listen, to what l say.
should have the power to bear
what you said is right.
l was cheating you
l was cheating you by disguising.
l am Abdulla.
Abdulla disguised as Ananthan.. with a bad intention
to kill you
but
l cannot do that
couldn't you kill me?
you had better killed me than fooling me.
when l held your hand considering you as my son.
when l slept with you couldn't you have killed me?
please, believe me.
now l am staying here , to save you.
you want me to trust you again? yes,
you must. You are in danger.
your relatives will kill you.
you must escape somehow.
l am ready to die for you.
l don't want to escape.
Let anybody kill me.
Still you need not save me. l won't believe you.
believe me.
you must believe me.
l am requesting you like your son. please forgive me.
believe me
stop it.
You are acting brilliantly.
Leave here at once. Or else, l will kill you.
how can we trust people.
brother Jamal,
we are not going to leave this palace, until the destiny is clear.
any idea where has His Highness gone?
isn't he in the bed room? no
he may be in deep sleep.
Radha searched for him everywhere. Has he left for Nilagiri?
in that case he would have told me. ls the car there in the shed? yes
did he say anything about going, afar to see Kathakali? no
then where did he go?
tell frankly, Mr.Pillai why should we hide it from each other?
Menon, l swear, l don't know anything
heard that some others have come?
l don't know anything. Uncle and Ravivarma are planning, and
deciding everything. l will go to Madras if l get the ticket
need not murmur to me. l am not for any trouble.
that's good.
Then why should l bother?
Those who give girls to these guys, from this palace must be beaten.
certain secrets will be come out, if some people are given nice.
what is the matter?
now what to do? Shall we inform the police, Mr. Menon?
l also thought so. Let's wait for one more day.yes, yes
what is this, dear girl. Are you crying when your
, marriage is fixed? Saraswati, how much jasmine
flowers are stocked? Please tell the young
princess to meet me when she comes from Venad.
don't cry in front of mom, dear girl.
dad will come back before tonight.
don't think of unnecessary things.
Abdulla, Abdulla
some important people have come. who is that? come that way.
that fair guy is Kabirdada.He is a Gujarathi.
He is a good man. the man next to him is his right hand. Chandran nair.
He is a Malayali. He too is a good man. l don't the
name of the man next to him. But he is a real rascal.
Rascal means booldy rascal.
l had a fight with him once. haven't you seen them before? no
ha, these are the people to meet. They are good people. They will fight with hand.
They learned stunt from Japan.
they may spare Jamal
don't mind it.
lf they have targeted you, they
will finish off you. Business is business.
relation and friendship is another thing. l was wondering when they reached here.
they might have reached 2-3 days back.
Kabir won't come without getting, a clear idea about the place.
what should we do now?
what is the use of asking what to do now, when you
are swallowed almost full into, the tiger's stomach.
my god,
Abdulla, he too gone?
Abdulla
tell me where is His Highness
l don't know where he is.
leave me Kabir bhai.
l am not Kabir bhai to you now. l am an executioner.
Why not saying?
leave me.
l will tell where he is.
tell me where is His Highness
Tell me
am asking, tell me where is His Highness
l don't know
Tell me
Tell me, why don't you tell me?
walk fast
Balarama
where are you Balarama?
grandpa
where are you? Balarama, Oh my stick is lost. Hey Balarama, my stick.
dad
ho dad
son
Oh my son
go
be quick
Madhavi, madhavi
Balarama,
where did you go leaving your grandpa?
Balarama
Balarama where did he go?
come on, tell me where is Thampuran?
Mother, tell me.
leave me, leave me
don't torment me,
leave me alone,
l am going, l am going
oh my god.
Abdulla
Adbulla, god is with us.
Mister
Mister, what's this?
did you kill His Highness
this is the key of underground cell. Go and open it.
my lord.
ho! God saved us.
what happened above?
it was a fight. uncle and sons in-law and gundas, on the one side.
Ananthan Namboodiri and Sankunni nair, on the other side. lt was a
furious fight. don't know who all are fallen down hurt. No idea if
there is any casualty. frankly speaking, l thought you are finished.
when l was overpowered and put here, l thought he was going to kill me.
now l realize that it was to save me.
who might have done this?
Ananthan. No, Abdulla
what? Abdulla?
yes. Both are the same person.
l don't feel like leaving without, meeting you.
l know that l have done unpardonable sins.
l don't know how to expiate for this.
this palace, harem and above all your great mind were
disgraced by this unworthy man
you can curse me
l jumped into this adventure because, l was badly in need of money.
l own only the address of my dad, who died when l was a small kid.
it was my dad's house, his musical instruments, my
mom's never ending tears that, made me a singer.
but, l didn't reach anywhere.
even when we were drowning, in huge debts, My mom told me not to give up,
this house, Dad used to sing here. these walls know dad's voice. Dad's
fingers ran through the strings, of this sitar and veena. but poor mom
my mother could not die in the floor, of the house where father lived.
l was ready to do anything to regain my, house by repaying the debts.
even Amirkhan sahib had the, privilege to sleep in king Udayavarma's bedroom,
he left behind only debts. now it is clear that such a man's, son cannot harm you.
if l could do so, that father's son couldn't have faced,
the plight to sing in the, red streets of Bombay.
my lord, please pardon me for all the mistakes l have
committed, considering me as the son of your old friend
Anantha
l have pardoned to the son of, Amirkhan Sahib
but in whose name will you beg for pardon.. to an abnormal mother?
what justification do you have to say, to my
daughter who don't even, know to cry loudly.
Unni, Unni,
where is Unni?
where is my Unni?
Radha, call Unni?
Unni come Unni,
like the story of Krishna, who forgot bereaved
Radha when leaving, for Mathura from Gokulam.
my lord,
if l was not a vulgar and poor Abdulla
hmm. now all the vulgar people are out. just wearing a sacred
thread, is nothing. Brahman means the one who knows God.
Music is God
you are a man who knows music.
l am giving this palace and all my, properties in the name of Radha.
if you are still ready to respond to, being
addressed Unni, can't you please don't leave us?
joy. the eternal joy, Universal joy, that is music.
music
