I have given You life
and you have found the rains
You are praised by your lovers
as You are the nest of my love
where did You go now?
You are found as the consolation for the wounded
My heart, listen as you meditate
come and select me
i have come near your concert
when will you come to me
Dad..
What happened??
Dad.. Please stop the car
What is your name?
Fathima
My name is Nitya.
I'm from Kerala
We are going back today.
I'll give you the price of this flower from my father.
No need of price for this flower. This is our love
Make it fast, make it fast
Who are you?
Come with me
Leave me
Come on, come with me
Leave . . . leave me alone.
Shut up. Keep quiet
Hey, you!
Mom. . .
Hey, you!
Let me go. Leave me alone. Mom. . . Let me go. Leave me.
Leave me alone.
'Chilappol Penkutty' (A girl sometimes...)
Leave me alone.
Hey, shut up.
Shut up. Shut up. Thief.
Fathima... Fathima...
where are you?
Fathima
Stay there.
where are you going
You cannot go this way. . .
Hey, where are you going?
Catch her,
Be quick
Is this you face? It’s like a beautiful flower. You know. .
your face is like a blooming moon. This is called luck. I got you because I’m so lucky.
Why are you telling me all this?
I’m not coming to the temple.
Today you are only listening to what we are going to say
She has fallen down. Truly she is too beautiful for four of us.
We can not do her anything alive.
Mom. . .
This is such a nuisance.
What happened, dear?
Dad
What happened dear?
Did you have a nightmare?
Yeah, kind of.
Don’t worry. I am here.
Dad, they killed that girl.
Which girl?
You remember the girl who gave me a flower, when we went to Kashmir. That girl.
Come on. That girl must be sleeping well now, just like your elder sister.
She is not aware of anything that happened here.
Come on, let’s go and sit outside for a while.
We were talking about Fathima, while going to sleep.
She is also in Kashmir. All these things must have been in her mind.
That’s the reason.
She was listening to the news with rapt attention.
That’s her.
The photo in the newspaper also resembled her very much.
Almost all girls in Kashmir look the same. That’s a different girl, dear.
She still keeps the flower that girl had gifted her.
Nobody can stay happy hearing the story of that girl named Fathima.
When we went to Kashmir last month, there were no problems.
We are just tourists. We will not understand such things.
I don’t think I will be able to sleep anymore.
What about staying up till morning?
I need to send the kids off to school. Unless I get some sleep, the next day will be ruined for sure.
Are you not going to school?
When are you going to brush and take bath?
Madam, are you not ready yet?
You literally roared yesterday!
Even after hearing ‘the roar,’ you did not got out of the bed, did you? Such a loving sister.
It hardly matters whether I got out of the bed or not. I watched the whole performance live.
Dad was hugging . . . mom was patting. Oh my gosh!
Then what should I do to someone who woke up from the sleep with a cry? Should I beat her up?
Yes, she deserves a whip.
When grandma died, she said she saw her in the bathroom. I was damn scared.
Now, it is that girl who we saw in Kashmir. What was her name? Yes, Fathima. She says she saw her.
This is just the beginning of madness. Be careful you don’t go mad. You are really crazy.
Go and get a shower, lass.
"playing song in the background"
Dad has told you so many times to braid your hair in two.
What is wrong with this? Is this not good?
Wait there dear.
Give me two minutes.
I will stylize your hair.
You have no clue about new hair style. What I have worn is the new style.
Is this your new style?
Look. This style doesn’t go with your facial structure. That’s why I am saying.
You should see the girls in my class. Then you will understand. . .
You should part the hair from the middle and then braid it in two. That will be amazing. Whoa!
That is an old filmy style.
For you, we are all old generation.
Tell me Nitya dear, whose hair style is better?
Look at her hair style.
Come, let’s go.
Be careful.
Yes.
By the way, why were you guys fighting?
That was about the hair-style, sister.
Only mothers know what girls need.
Why don’t you marry again? Can you stay single the whole life just because your wife died.
I am not up for it, sister.
She passed away last year.
Days will roll on as usual. I have my daughter. I can live for her.
Don’t be so upset.
That was just a dream.
It is quite common in that place.
She must be really sad.
That’s true.
Why are you so tensed?
Vandana did not get back from school.
Ten minutes are not that big delay.
She should have come by now.
She must be on the way. Must be watching some sights en route.
You will not understand my state of mind.
As soon as the school time is over, I get tensed, thinking whether she would come on time or not.
Here she is!
Now relax a bit.
Now you sing that song
‘Vrshchika-poonilave.’
I want to play a trick on her.
Okay
I am going to hide inside.
“Vrshchikapoonilave.”
Then you guys play together. I will wait here.
Hi, unni uncle.
Why are you staring at me. Are you planning to arrest me?
There is a scratch beneath your ear.
How did you see it?
The eyes of a policeman sees everything.
Okay. . .okay
Tell me what happened?
It got scratched by someone’s nail in the bus.
Who is that?
An uncle.
Who is that uncle who scratches?
We need to teach him a lesson.
That’s an uncle. Poor guy!
By the way, where is dad?
That is what I have also been thinking. When I came here the door was left open.
Okay, uncle.
I know you must be hiding inside.
Father won’t go out without telling me.
I know where you are.
Why are you late? I got really tensed. Do you know that?
Come on dad, I am late only by ten minutes. It was a little late, when the tuition class got over.
Do you know what I have cooked you?
Maggie, what else?
Go and check.
Wow!
He told me that she is his girlfriend.
Okay
No soon he said it than I slapped him.
Why did you do that? They are in a relationship.
That is definitely a breach of moral.
Both love each other, don’t they? What’s wrong in it?
I cannot stand that.
If we find a man and a woman in a suspicious situation, we will take the man into custody.
Then we will swear the woman and send her off home.
I cannot agree with this. After all, this is a democratic country.
If we give freedom to everyone, then what’s the job of Kerala police?
Dad, tell me the truth. Did you buy this burger from the bakery?
This is your problem. I cooked it on my own.
Okay.
If you need, I will cook pizza, pasta, macaroni and what not? You want to see that?
I cannot believe it. You cannot even cook a chutney properly, not to speak of burger.
Don’t get embarrassed.
Tell me the truth did you cook this burger?
Are you kidding. I just wanted to fool her.
I knew it.
I have no other plan in this life other than making her happy.
Are you dressing up at night for your granny’s wedding ?
Do you have any thought about anything other than your own hair, teeth, nose and eyes?
Mom, who will look after my teeth and hair other than myself?
You are such a fool.
Please look after. You may please look after.
Mom, I know you like it very much. You are such a pretty woman.
Get off my way.
You study something, instead of holding this flower in your hand.
let me ask her
If you are not so sad, I want to ask you something.
Ask me.
It might be a silly matter for you. But not for me.
how is my get-up?
It is really good.
You are really beautiful.
But you are not confident.
This is the most beautiful moment in my life.
Someone has finally appreciated my beauty. God, you have blessed me!
You are my little sister.
You should not be this sad at this tender age.
If you are sad, all my plans will be spoilt.
Don’t you remember that today dad has agreed to take us out for boating.
Since you were not in a good mood, he changed the plan.
If you are sad, my life will be really dry.
Dad wants to go somewhere else.
No. You are the reason.
Don’t you check Whatsapp and Facebook?
Gosh, where is my phone? Yes. I will show you now.
Here is he, the eternal saint Elaman Das. He is such a fraud. The burning poet.
You know what he has done after writing that he never wanted to live in this world of those killed Fathima?
See he has now uploaded his photo with his wife and child with a caption: “How beautiful this life is!”
Alina Johnson who wrote Fathima is my icon
In four days she changed he icon.
People who were wailing in Whatsapp and Facebook have now started making fun of others.
If something creeps into your mind, it is very difficult to get rid of it.
There should be a limit for everything.
Still, you agreed that my get-up is good.
Day after tomorrow, during the engagement of Sudha Chechi,
I want to shine in front of the daughter of the uncle from Thiruvankulam. She thinks herself Kareena Kapoor.
Now you drink this.
Dad, do you know what it is?
Are you still going to study lessons from class one.
It seems you are still learning to count.
No ,dad. I am not counting.
Then?
This is a language.
Oh!
If I write one, which means A.
Aha!
And if I write two, then it means long A
Oho!
If I write three, that is E.
Four stands for Long E.
Who knows this language.
There is a key for it.
Only Nitya and I know about it.
Why do you take so much effort for this?
Can you not write in normal language?
We want to convey secrets.
You know nothing.
Why do kids need to keep secrets?
We want to play tricks on teachers.
Why do you want to play tricks on teachers?
Oh! my father!
Some teachers are so irritating.
Then Nitya would pass me a message in this code-language.
You know what is written here?
You tell me.
Dad does not know.
‘How irritating they are!’
Even if the teachers catch us, they cannot understand what is written here.
Now we speak even with our fingers like this.
Kids of this age!
You may drink this milk.
Why are you in the police uniform today?
To be frank, I am still afraid of policemen.
My fear reduced a bit only when you became a policeman.
There is no communal riot because people are afraid of us.
That is not the reason.
It is because people live in harmony as neighbours, forgetting their caste and religion.
Ordinary people will definitely have religion. But they never wish that only their religion should grow and survive.
They just want be in the religion in which they are born.
Only those who want to gain money and power using religion need communalism as a tool.
If the police are going to arrest me for these statements, I have revoked all that I said.
That’s not correct.
Now you get me something cold to drink.
I had hell of a work today.
I Didn’t even get time to get back home.
Have you not gone to sleep.
Unni uncle,
will you answer me, if I ask you a question.
She has grown up a lot in one day.
Next year, let us marry her off.
umm.
What does the word Police stand for?
What?
This is an ordinary question.
Ask me something else.
Tell me the expansion of each letter in the word police.
Come on. Answer her.
P for. . . .
P for power
O for authenticity
Stop it.
Are you a dumb head?
P for polite.
O for obedient,
L for loyal
I for intelligent
C for courageous
E for Efficient.
I knew all these things when I joined the service.
I forgot all these.
Now tell me how is your tuition coming along?
Unnikrishnan,
I will fetch you a glass of water.
You tell me whether you need sugar or salt in it.
Okay Unni uncle.
Good night.
Okay.
Hey, that person has come again by his bike.
I think he has a feeling for you. Whenever we come this way, he is here.
He must have some feeling for you, not for me.
Anyway, he has no interest in me.
How do you know that?
maybe he must be looking at both of us.
My friend wind, will you wait for me here on the wayside.
Will you ask me in my ear a riddle for fun.
Let us heave up the numbers in the textbook and do sums.
Let us get drenched in the rain beneath jack-fruit tree.
My friend wind, will you wait for me here on the wayside.
Will you ask me in my ear a riddle for fun?
Let us heave up the numbers in the textbook and do sums.
Let us get drenched in the rain beneath jack-fruit tree.
Is it not fun to watch the Myna making nest in the branch.
When we gather up after school, we will work wonders. Will you not ring the bell?
Let this sweetness never get over.
We are playmates in the game of hide-and seek.
When we go back home happily,
we used to watch over the leaves of mimosa tree.
Even the sky used to be under fire, when we look at it.
Let these white clouds never vanish.
My friend wind, will you wait for me here on the wayside.
Will you ask me in my ear a riddle for fun.
Let us heave up the numbers in the textbook and do sums.
Let us get drenched in the rain beneath jack-fruit tree.
Finally you are here.
You might have sent all the girls safely to the school.
Switch on the light.
Get me that flash.
It is there.
Make it fast.
Stay there.
Hold it according to light. Hold it, man.
Let us change this pose.
Change it.
Not like that, this way.
What the. . . Why are you always touching me?
Just tell me. I will do it.
You should adjust a little bit, especially while doing a creative work like this.
Set that light properly.
Slant it a little. . .
a little forward. . .
Are you not here?
You must be thinking about that girl.
In which class is she studying, class three or four?
She is in class ten
Then it is not a problem. She suits him.
So far, so good. You can change your clothes and leave for the time being.
There is an outdoor shoot tommorrow, sharp at 11.30.
What does she think of herself?
She is not proud as you say.
Why are you making advances towards her?
She is from a poor family. That’s why she started doing modelling.
She does not ask for big remuneration.
Things will fall in place in the way I want. Wait for a while.
One. . . two . . three.
Follow me, child. Do it like this.
Keep it like this.
Hold your hands high.
Then rotate.
Do it girl.
How is it, teacher. Is this not good?
Yeah, rotate well.
Not like that. Keep it like this.
You will ruin my reputation.
Yes, come forward.
Then go back. Go back.
Stop, stop. Oh God! Stop the music.
Suji, you are not concentrating. I will jab at you.
For the past three years, the district I am teaching has been coming first in the youth festival.
This time, this district should come first.
Nitya
Vandana, what are you doing? Are you studying mathematics while practicing dance?
You don’t need to pay attention to anything. Just focus on the dance.
You should dance this way. You should gyre up, while dancing.
You don’t need to pay attention. You go on. . Yes, you do it like that.
That particular expression should be on your face. Like this.
Sir, our school should win maximum points. You should make sure that.
That’s why I have brought you here.
Very good!
The school where I am teaching will win First A grade & The same with the district the school is situated.
You may continue. Gyre up and then dance.
I should have learnt dance. See what we earn in a year is earned by these people during the single season of a youth festival.
Excuse me. Dance is not like your regular teaching at school.
This is something that you need to get by birth.
It is a penance. It requires inborn talent. Do you know that?
All right. If we don’t win the prize, you will see my true colour.
How do you bear this moron? Such a good for nothing fellow! Thank god, he is gone.
You may continue kids.
The only consolation is that there is dance practice today. We can make fun of the teacher in code-language.
Why are you so moody for three-four days?
Are you also becoming like me.
Nothing. I didn’t sleep well.
Are you in a relationship or what?
I heard that lovers never get good sleep.
That’s correct.
I am so talented, aren’t I.
Dance properly, kid. Do the step properly.
Gyre up. Yes, like that.
Thank god!
Hold your hands high.
Stop. Stop.
Look teacher, her steps are not good at all.
I was also thinking the same. She is not concentrating at all. Her mind is somewhere else.
You practise the step on your own.
Then you join them.
Go and practice.
You can join the group only after correcting the step.
Okay, teacher.
You don’t need to bother about it. You may practice.
Don’t worry.
You will be the one who is going to look the best in make-up. Yes, do it.
Okay
Don't worry, Ganga. She will come soon.
Sister, can you please go and check on the way.
I am afraid of her.
If she does not come, I may collapse there.
I am afraid to call them up and ask.
Don’t worry, dear. She will come soon.
Sister, can you go and look?
Ammini sister, where are you going.
Have you seen Gangan's daughter of Vadakkel house?
No, sister.
I have seen her going to the school. What happened?
She hasn’t yet come from school.
She is a kid. Must be lazing around somewhere.
She is not that type.
Where will I search for her, my goddess?
Why are you here sister?
Did your daughter come home?
Girl, reduce TV's volume.
She came long back.
Oh God, then where is this girl?
Nitya
Ammini sister, is Vandana relieved of her head ache?
She has not come back from school yet, dear.
What? She told me that she is having a head ache and she will not be coming for tution class today.
What is this?
Did she go to any relatives’ house?
Gangan told me that he is afraid to call on your number.
I cannot imagine his condition, when he comes to know that Nitya has reached home.
My God! I am going.
She will not go anywhere else.
Let me call up other friends.
Okay.
Gangan
Unnikrishna. . .
my daughter.
You calm down.
She will come.
Where has she gone?
You should find her.
She has gone somewhere without telling me a word.
We will find her out.
We are searching for her everywhere.
She will come
You should find her out.
Calm down.
You should find her out today itself.
We will find her.
You should find her right now.
She is my daughter as well. I will bring her back.
My daughter. . .
Don’t cry. . . don’t cry.
My daughter.
Nothing will happen, as you fear.
We will find her wherever she goes.
But where did she go without telling us?
She will come. I will bring her.
I am the one who is telling this.
Are you sure?
I assure you that.
Believe me.
I will bring her.
You calm down.
Don’t be afraid.
You should bring her.
I told you I will bring her.
I want to see her.
If I have told you that I will bring her, I will do that. You relax a bit.
You relax a bit.
Sir, did you get any information on Vandana?
She is not alone.
Another guy named Vipin is also missing.
Which Vipin? The son of our Kartyayani Amma.
Yes.
Will he dare to do this?
This is the problem with girls of this age.
Look at that poor guy!
This is the problem of not having a mother.
Only women can understand what a girl needs.
Gangan,
you get up and eat something.
She will come.
Once she gets bored after roaming around for four days, she will come back.
That is the practise.
Get lost.
I say move off.
What do you know about my kid?
Get out, you.
Get out.
I did not know that she is such a loose girl.
Our daughter also would have been spoiled in her company.
Don’t say like that.
She is a motherless kid.
I don’t know Gangan well.
I know that he is a good singer.
Whatever he is, his condition is really bad.
The gift given by own children!
Mom, what did you say about Vandana?
I heard everything.
She will not elope with anyone.
I am sure, she was not in a relationship with that guy.
I sure something bad had happened to her.
Come on, dear.
S.I Unnikrishnan sir is Gangan’s close friend.
He is the one investigating this case.
She will come.
Dear, the S.I said people have seen her with that boy in the bus stand.
People are just cooking up stories.
She is really sad.
Don’t say such things in her presence.
They have been studying together since class 5.
What is wrong in living with a person one likes.
I am not against that.
I should follow her.
In America, kids from class one marry guys in class three!
She will not elope with anyone. I am sure.
That’s our conviction.
See, my best friend Navya Gopalan,
She eloped with that truant Tyson.
Oh God! Will it be a problem?
This is why I am not sharing anything with anyone. This girl is mad, will surf Facebook.
Hey, where are you guys going when the class is about to begin?
Nikhil wants to relieve himself.
If Nikhil want to urinate, why are you all going with him?
Sir, he is afraid to urinate all alone.
Come on, make it fast.
Teachers, this is their usual trick.
You should not allow this.
By the way, where are you guys going?
To the washroom.
All three together?
Ideal teachers.
His unnecessary questions!
It seems I am a disturbance for your programme.
Keep doing.
Don’t think that I am a Head Master. Keep doing.
I am also equally good at appreciating art.
Keep doing..... Keep doing.....
Sir
Respects
Varada Ma’am, your kids are so disciplined.
As a gesture of respect for me, one of them is standing on the bench.
Jeevan, what are you doing ?
Is the way you behave when HM comes to the class.
Sorry teacher, a wasp came to sting me.
Isn’t this our Jeevanandan?
I know your father Saraswathan.
That is the name of a wise man.
Please repeat those steps which you performed when the wasp came to sting you.
If the HM goes crazy, the entire school will go mad.
So stop it now.
By the way, I came to ask you something.
The one who eloped is in this class, isn’t she?
Yes, sir.
Vandanam.... vandanam...
Her name is Vandana.
What is wrong with that name? Such a good name!
But her deeds are so bad.
She left the house for school. On the way, she eloped with someone.
It is a shame on us.
There is no need of money to marry off the kids studying in my school.
They will run away with someone. This is what people gossip now.
May I come in?
Yes Come in. . . come in.
Teacher, she was also supposed to go with her. But she did not take her.
You are crucifying her because of the mistake that her friend had committed.
Nitya is a good girl.
She made us all proud in the district youth festival.
Nitya just comes with that girl.
Nitya is not like her.
If you become bad, that will dent the name of your friends also.
Vandana is not a bad girl, teacher.
She will not do it.
That’s your faith.
S.I Unnikrishnan is not a dumb head.
He has successfully investigated a lot of cases. Everyone knows that.
Teacher,
Such an incident should not repeat in the school.
I shall remind you, keep an eye on girl students.
We should sympathize with the feelings of parents having girl children.
Okay then.
Are you also in some relationship?
Was this a plan you guys hatched together?
Dear, did you fall down? I will hold you.
No. . . no.
Dear, you may please eat or drink something.
I cannot stand this. My heart breaks.
I can neither walk nor sit, sister.
I am not afraid of dying.
But...
I want to know where she is.
I don’t feel like even killing myself.
She will come back.
Our Unnikrishnan sir has assured us that.
She will come. . .
Gangan,
You calm down, man.
We will get to know where she is in one or two days.
We will get her back.
Everything will be alright.
You came to my eyes like a dream.
Like a heavenly song played by someone.
Like the rhythm of life, you came to the path of love.
Like a frail light, you moved away, casting cool light.
This flower has dried up. Why don’t you throw it away?
Where is the papaya?
What will I do?
Do you know me sister?
Didn't they kill you?
I can't save you.
Not only you sister... Even the God whom I prayed didn't saved me.
Where have you been dear?
I was with you dear.
Come, let us go home.
Don’t stay here all alone.
Why are you in this dress?
Vandana... vandana...
Vandana, where are you?
Vandana... Vandana...
Did you hear that they are going to whitewash the school.
So there is off for two days.
What for?
When they whitewash, water will fall on us.
They will take care of it.
Why do they want to whitewash now.
That will be a problem.
What is the problem?
Like the rhythm of life, you came to the path of love.
Like a frail light, you moved away, casting cool light.
Did you come to know anything about Vandana.
Everyone says that she eloped with Vipin.
He is an irresponsible fellow.
Once he goes away from home, he comes back after months.
Parents think that she will be with him?
She has only her dad.
Father is not on good terms with mom’s family. Whatever happens, the mom’s family is not bothered.
The police will certainly find her. Don’t worry.
Something happened to her, sister.
You went away without saying a word.
You left me without taking a glance at me.
Did the lights on the path waiting for the prey. . .
Fell into the bosom of Nila.
A life just for parting.
Did the day fade away leaving a sad sense of separation?
She might have endured some big suffering.
Has she not share it with you?
Whatever problems she has, she will not share it with anyone.
She will jot it down in her code language somewhere.
That’s her nature.
After her father and mother, I was the one she loved the most.
Girls need a secret language in this world, dear.
She also needs a friend who can decode it.
If she starts writing it on all walls,
then the men having power will not dare to walk alongside.
Unfortunately I don’t have such a language.
I trusted someone and walked away with him. That was the mistake I made in my life.
He was named after a God, Raman!
To stomp on my chest, he threw away the kid who was lying on my bosom.
Thus my kid got paralysed.
They are going to whitewash the wall of the school.
Then whatever she has written on it will be wiped off.
That should not happen.
We should delay the whitewashing.
Devan and his friends must be the ones who are going to whitewash it.
You must note down everything on the wall.
Don’t share it with anyone.
I wanted to ask you something for a long time
You look really beautiful.
But why do you make it look ugly?
If someone notices my face, some weirdo will come after me.
What they want is my body.
I am a cremator, buring dead bodies.
I know the what this body is ultimately going to be.
Janakiyamma, please look after the kid.
Sure. You go for work. I will take care of her.
I am the inauspicious one who burn dead bodies.
Your parents may not like your company with me.
Only Vandana and you talk to me.
This is not the place you are supposed to be.
Fathima was way younger than me.
They killed her as well.
For people who do not have money and power, this world is a cemetery.
They had not only killed that girl who knows only to smile, but. . . .
That too inside a temple.
Mahalakshmi, please reserve some wood for our cremation as well.
In this bad age, only women and children get buried.
The old fellows like you live long.
That is a snide about us.
You know who these old man are?
He is good at martial arts.
He will make us stand still with just one finger.
He always boasts that he hoisted the red flag on top of a police station, when communist party was banned.
They are my best friends, my lovers.
One more unidentified corpse is burning today, is'nt it old man?
If you fade in like a gypsy wind, will not the virtue of truth also dim in?
The burning fire of the red blood . . .
Give way to the virtue of the land.
The childhood should wake up.
You should wake up beside me.
Like a heavenly music played by someone.
Like the rhythm of life all along the path of love.
Like a frail light, you moved away. . .
Sisier, I am afraid to read even the newspaper.
I am sacred whether I will spot some bad news.
I have not read the newspaper, after she left.
You will not see anything bad.
Dont think anything unfair
You have not harmed anyone. So nothing will happen to you.
Will he look after her properly?
Unnikrishnan sir told us that they were in a relationship.
She could have told me a word about it.
I just want to know that she is well.
I don’t want to know anything more.
You please go out and relax.
You have been sitting all alone for a long time.
Come with me. Let’s go for a ride.
Seeing you is my only relief.
Hey look at my nails.
Don’t they look like original ones?
They are all artificial.
You need real nails.
What?
To scratch.
To scoop out the intestine.
Did you turn into Nagavally?
Great acting!
This is not acting.
You will not understand.
Sister, you will not even understand who you are.
Cool... cool...
I think you have been possessed by Fathima's ghost.
God I am leaving!
Will you give me a lift.
Not far away from here.
I will give you as much as you want.
I like having more distance.
You don’t need to take trouble.
I will give her a lift.
Get on to the back seat.
I don’t like you to be in trouble too.
Get on. Just tell me where you want to get down.
Did she elope with the other girl?
Eloping has now become a fashion.
MLA has come.
What is the point of MLA’s visit.
Vinod, the police are investigating the case. The investigating officer is the new CI. He is really good.
He told me that he will be able to find the kid today itself. Don’t worry.
Mom...
It is really tasty if cooked.
I called you up so many times.
Why are you so reluctant to pick the call.
There is a special thing.
Sir, you come fast.
We have got a rabbit. Let us roast it.
There is liquor too.
By the way, we have got a female rabbit as well.
We will decide what to do with it after you come.
She is with us, come fast.
Let's go.
Hey stay there.
Prabhas catch her. Catch her. Hey you, stay there.
Where is she?
Leave me.
Come here.
Where are you coming from?
Tell me the answer
I have been waiting for you only
(Interval)
You
Dear. . . Nitya. . .
stay there. Stay there. Dear. . . .
Who is that girl?
Somebody please come here.
What happened, sir?
Hold her. Get me some water.
Give her some water.
Finally she has opened the eyes.
Call the officer.
Wake her up. Slowly.
I have killed SI Unnikrishnan. I killed him.
What’s your name?
Fathima
Where is your house?
Katwa, Kashmir.
She has got some mental confusion.
Get her admitted in a hospital having psychiatric department.
We need to see whether there is any fact in what she is saying.
Sir, this is the girl who went missing.
We need to inform the parents. Be quick.
Sir.
Sir , I came with this girl.
I know what has happened.
Come with me.
Sir.
Nothing happened, sir.
She was not bad at studies.
She studies dance too.
She always comes first in elocution competition.
Sir.
Bring Lakshmi.
Sir.
Lashmi come here.
Does Nitya share everything with you.
Yes sir.
Vandana and Nitya share messages in a code language.
You said that you are the caretaker of a cemetery.
Are you literate?
Sir, I am a graduate.
Then why did you choose this job?
There are only two big events - birth and death.
There should be someone for the dead ones.
I mostly cremate unidentified corpses.
No body should decay like that.
Please be seated.
No sir.
My clothes are all soiled.
Everybody has set their eyes on the body.
I do this job to remind me that the body is to be burnt into ashes.
I have nothing to tell you for the time being.
Nitya has copied everything that Vandana has written in this notebook.
If you read it,
you will understand what actually happened.
We have taken SI Unnikrishnan and those lads under custody.
We have not yet started questioning them.
If found culprits, we will not spare them.
I can assure you that.
I always stand by the truth.
Sir, girls have got no opportunity to open up their minds here.
Similar is the case of adoloscent boys.
umm
Parents always remind their daughters only about their body.
The same was the case in my family.
People often forget that what keeps body pure is our mind and culture.
Nobody knows what has happened to Vandana.
Her father entrusted everything with S.I Unnikrishnan.
We did not even get a complaint so far.
Unnikrishnan can do anything if he is unfaithful.
I am sure that there are criminals in the police department.
But not everyone is like that.
I did my Ph.D in Gandhian studies.
My father insisted that I should do that.
When I die, I should be cremated in Lakshmi’s crematorium.
I will mention it in my will.
People like you should live long.
I used to call him unni Uncle.
The brothers of my mom ousted us from her house.
It was my mom who asked me to call him Unni uncle.
When dad was abroad, he used to send money in his name.
One day when dad was away, he came inside.
Can you recite that poem which you always recite?
As the the long summer's burden of silence unknown to the mind over-brims,
did the sparrow perched on the branch of my mind wake up? Did the sparrow wake up?
Is the time keeping only dreams in store for the bird that lost its wing?
I know nothing about the colour of my dreams.
Sometimes the moon comes down to the river to sleep soundly.
Will what I have kept on the wings of a birds song be stolen by time?
Uncle was about to record your song.
But by mistake I also recorded you changing the dress as well.
This phone has really good quality.
It costs around 40,000 INR.
Your song was so good.
But your body is better than that.
You have good curves.
Amazing structure.
Uncle, don’t say like that. Please delete it.
But to delete it, you should do what I say.
I will cook you Maggie. Or I will cook you omelette for you.
I will massage your head for 20 minutes.
That’s not enough dear. I will tell you later what you need to do.
Don’t say this to your dad.
He has already undergone a bypass. If he gets tensed, he may have another cardiac arrest.
Uncle, please delete it. Please delete it.
I will tell you what you need to do later.
Then you should do it. Don’t worry.
Uncle, please delete it. Don’t take that without deleting it.
It is almost two hours since the food has been served. Are you not planning to eat?
What happened to you dear? You have been sitting like this since morning. Are you not well?
Nothing grandma. I’m okay .
You drink the milk.
Something went wrong. The video that I shot the other day got leaked.
What? Oh my God!
I gave my phone to Prabhas to repair my phone.
Don’t you know the photographer Prabhas.
He copied the video.
If you come and plead, he will delete it.
Otherwise he will upload it in Youtube.
Oh God! What will I do now.
Don’t worry. You just need to talk to him He will listen to you.
Don’t turn him hostile. We can get that video somehow.
We are not fallen flowers, but those bloomed
We will not fall, but remain in blossom
We are not weak, we are not whimsical,
not dependent, not helpless
We won’t be slain chained in the borders.
We are the earth
We are the universe
We will earn ourselves by searching for us
Is that girl’s house within your station limit?
Yes, madam.
Then why didn’t you find the kid so far.
Madam, SI Unnikrishnan is the close friend of the girl’s father.
He made the girl’s father believe that he is the one who is investigating this case.
So no complaint is so far registered.
Nor is any notice published in the newspaper.
I came to know about it yesterday only.
Unnikrishnan is an accused now. There are some hindrances to interrogate him.
Dont mind those hindrances, I have arranged what is needed.
We need to know what they have done to that kid.
Yes, madam.
There is a protest march of students coming to the police station.
The issue has already been taken up by the media.
What are those boys doing?
They are so stubborn sir.
All the three of them are drug addicts.
It is very easy to question people like them.
To avoid any irritation, they will reveal the truth quickly.
They cannot hide truth for a long time.
Do one thing. Give them two puffs.
Nothing more than two puffs.
They should crave.
Then don’t give them any more.
Okay sir.
Prabhas sir.
I came here as per Unni Uncle’s instruction.
Yeah, he has told me.
Sit down.
Otherwise you will be tired.
Are you studying?
What?
Are you studying?
Yes.
What do you want to become?
I mean which profession do you want to choose?
I want to be a nurse so that I can take care of patients.
Why don’t you want to be a doctor?
Then also, you can take care of patients.
I do not have the brain for that.
Which means?
I am not good at studies.
Who told you that you don’t have the brain?
You are so brilliant.
Do what we say.
Look dear.
Are you not the one in this visual?
Yes. Please delete that video.
I will fall at your feet.
Don’t fall at my feet.
I did not ask for it.
Your Unni Uncle gave it to me.
I will get good amount for this.
Oh God!
What will I do?
Do what I say.
In this visual your face is very clear.
Permit me to shoot your naked body without showing your face.
Then I will delete this one.
How is your video.
Now start stripping.
You have no other way.
Don’t forget.
You should come to the place where we ask you to come.
Unnikrishnan sir will also be there.
We will delete all the visuals in front of Unnikrishnan.
If you don’t come, everyone will see it in YouTube.
I’m sure, she will come.
You are an ember buring somewhere
Dont forget! you should be in the spot by tomorrow. Unnikrishnan Sir will also be there.
All your visuals will be deleted in front of him.
You will have to watch everything on Youtube if you fail to come.
Have you slept dear?
Do you have fever?
Do you have head ache?
Then you sleep.
Ouch!
You made the girl to come to the studio
and that you have demanded to come to your secret hideout. I understood all those.
Tell me the rest of the story.
Where did you hide the girl?
I know that you will tell the truth.
You won't be reluctant to tell
I will not hurt you if you don’t say.
I will ask you again.
I asked her to come as per Unnikrishnan sir’s instruction.
I know. . .
tell me. What did you do to that girl.
You went away without saying a word. You left me without taking a glance at me.
Did the lights on the path waiting for the prey fall into the bosom of Nila?
Did the day fade away leaving a sad sense of separation?
A life just for parting. If you fade in like a gypsy wind, Will not the virtue of truth also dim in?
The childhood should wake up. You should wake up beside me.
Come in.
Unnikrishnan sir is inside.
Uncle, please ask him to delete.
I want to go. Dad will be tensed. Uncle, please.
Come and lie down here. You can go fast.
Why, uncle ?
Aren’t you a grown up girl?
Should I explain everything to you. Only we will know about it.
Leave me,
Stop there.
Leave me, Unni Uncle.
Leave me alone. Please don’t hurt me.
Close the door.
Please don’t hurt me.
Stop it.
Unni Uncle, please leave me alone.
Please don’t hurt me.
What the hell. I think that policeman will eat her up.
Even if she eats, the bones and spikes will be left.
Any way we don’t need to fear the police because the policeman is inside.
When she started yelling, I had gaged her mouth with my hands. Her nose was also closed by mistake.
I think we are in trouble. I suspect she is finished.
So you are done with your intentions.
Yes, I did it.
Hey, Vandana...
I tried a lot. But she is gone.
You tempted us a lot.
The body is still warm. Do whatever you want.
Dog, get lost.
Sir.
Now you must be relieved of your fear.
If I am in this uniform, Nobody except the Home Minister can touch you.
is this not enough for help you had extended then?
Just think that if she was alive, she would have prevented us with her hands and legs.
Sir, shouldn’t we shift her from there?
Wherever we dump the body, someone will see it.
The best place to hide this body is the Medical College Mortuary.
Isn’t it under the government. Won’t we be caught quickly?
If I am in this uniform, nobody will catch you.
I have sent a lot of people to the mortuary.
and have gone under the earth as unidentified dead bodies.
So what should we do next?
There are some beggars near the church. There is girl of her age with them.
Get one of her dresses. Then will we put it on her. In one go, she should look like a girl living in the street.
Do the rest as I say.
She is really fair. Nobody would believe that she is from the street.
There are so many fair complexioned girls on the street.
They must be the children of fair gentlemen.
Then remove the brace on her teeth.
The street kids will not wear brace on the teeth.
But still.
What is still bothering you?
If you want, I will diploy a van full of policemen for your security.
The police constables will do whatever the SI says. SI will listen only to the CI.
If SI and CI are not in front and back, these idiots called ministers will not have any value.
So let us do so.
Yeah.
Why you doubt this much? Go and start your job.
As the old man of the Agastya Mountain drapes the blanket of snow around him, Oh my dear deer removed from the herd...
As the light retreats, have you not seen the tiger crouching in the valley?
Sir, why did you call at this odd hour?
You should do me a favour.
What do you want?
A girl in my station limit died.
What?
She was found dead on the road. She is a gypsy.
She was of those wandering around.
But she looks like one from an elite family.
Okay sir.
I have done the inquest.
Don’t bother to send for post-mortem.
It is going to be a headache.
Okay sir.
My daughter is going to get married next month. I am really busy and I don’t have time to spare.
You keep it in the mortuary.
Will it create any problem?
You don’t worry.
I will take care of your son-in-law’s case.
Okay?
Sure sir.
Okay.
The beautiful fisherwoman! The girl everyone desires for. She walks like a swan and she shoots the arrows of cupid.
You are working out even in this tensed situation.
We need to take care of our body.
I have settled all the issues.
How will we go with the dead body? Will we be caught?
Who will catch you? Nobody is going to catch you.
The best place to keep the booty safe is police station.
Thinking that it is an unidentified dead body, they will keep it in the mortuary for two days.
If no one comes, they will do the funeral in the public cemetery.
or else they will make it cadaver, give it to medical students.
Sometimes, they may sell it to some private medical college.
And you dont create some new issue.
Will not the medical college authorities lodge a complaint?
The complaint must be lodged by the relatives of the deceased. I am her relative.
Her father has entrusted me with everything. I am the one who investigates this case.
I will make him believe that she eloped with a guy.
The guy is under our custody.
Who is he?
That guy who comes to the studio. Vipin.
He has feeling for her. You guys are the ones who told me about it.
What are we doing with him?
From today onwards, he should not be seen in this village.
We need to transfer him to Tamil Nadu.
And a job for him there.
Then he should not see his hometown. I will do whatever is needed.
We should make the father believe that she eloped with him.
I will take care of that.
You are really a sharp-minded policeman.
It is better to be a policeman to become a thief.
We know how to become a murderer and how to catch a murdered.
There won’t be any case against us.
Come closer.
You stand facing each other.
Have you ever stood like this?
No.
You have no repentance.
If you commit a crime, you should fell repent and bow down your head.
Then once you can hold your head high.
You know the gravity of the crime you have committed?
Sit down.
Thank you.
It was only recently that I came to know that you are here.
You must have come to beat up SI Unnikrishnan.
No. I just want to see him.
Just to bow down to him.
If he has this sort of mind, he can run at least a hundred gas chambers.
I know everything.
I am so depressed.
I don’t even feel like beating him up.
If we beat him up, it will be like showing some kind of sympathy towards him.
Come on..
Lets meet him
Unnikrishnan?
We know you killed that girl and know every details about it.
There are 3 eye witness also.
You should help us prepare the charge sheet against you.
I will help you . We have done it a lot.
Who killed that girl?
Which girl?
Her name is Vandana, isn’t it?
You are the one who send her body to the mortuary.
Are you sure that there is such a person in the mortuary?
We have not confirmed it.
Then you may please go and make sure.
She actually eloped with a guy.
They are somewhere in Tamil Nadu.
You are not just a criminal, but more than that.
Let the court decide whether I am a criminal or not.
This is the gospel of all the criminals and a few innocents.
I pity you.
You had sent her to the mortuary and went to her father.
To console him.
Sir, is it true that the missing girl is there in the mortuary?
We came here after knowing that the girl’s dead body is in the mortuary.
Will produce the culprits before the court soon.
Does it show the laxity of the police?
Let us first confirm that the girl’s body is in the mortuary. Then will inform.
So you are also not sure that the body is there in the mortuary.
Sir, it is a shame that criminals can hide a dead body in a government mortuary.
Please calm down. Don’t hinder our duty.
You are the one who is supposed to answer us.
I will answer you. There will be answers for all your doubts.
Namaste sir.
Is her body in the mortuary?
Yes, sir.
Usually we don’t keep it for such a long time.
I felt that someone will come in search of this girl.
Unnikrishnan sir forced me, That is why I had to do it.
Didn’t Unnikrishnan inquire about the dead body?
Yes sir. He did.
He asked me to cremate the body in the crematorium.
After seeing her body, I felt that someone will come in search of her.
I lied to him that I had cremated the body.
I also have daughters.
That’s where his plan went wrong.
This is the girl.
Shouldn’t we make sure that this is our girl?
Remove the cloth.
Gangan.
Are sure?
Yes sir,
it is her.
Gangan...
No, no.
Gangan. Stay there.
Gangan.
I don’t want to see it.
Teacher
One minute please
All of you please come in
Hope you all are aware that Vandana had not eloped, but murdered.
We all misunderstood her.
We torutured her, made fun of her.
She was in the mortuary while we were doing all those to her
She passed away, suffering utmost pain.
We should not forget her, children .
She will live as long as we remember her.
Oblivion is death.
Teacher, let us stop class for the day.
Let us pray for Vandana.
As the silence of a long summer
weep in the heart as an unknown pain
Has the little bird that sings on the branches of my dream awaken slowly
Move a bit. A little more.
CI is coming.
Move a little.
So far no clear evidence has come out.
Why are you keeping mum sir? How was that girl murdered?
Let us talk later. Let me see the doctor.
She was suffocated to death.
It was during rape that she breathed her last.
Within half an hour after the death, she was raped again.
It is very clear in the autopsy.
I cannot believe it.
They did it to a dead body?
No doubt.
Three people have raped her.
We cannot call it a rape.
This is necromancy.
It was almost three days since she ate something.
Give way to sir.
Sir, a girl of sixteen years has been raped to death so brutally. Tell me sir, what happened ?
I cannot say anything at this stage. Don’t ask me anything.
We are standing in front of the deceased girl’s house.
This is an important case that shocked the conscience of Kerala.
Reports are that the girl has been lying in the mortuary as an unidentified corpse.
Has time saved dreams of pain for the bird that has broken wings
I don’t know anything
Oh my dear daughter!
Fill the color of strange life in my words
The moon that lies in the river that originates in my heart
Watching the sight, my left eye twitches To see who enters through the doorstep
Will my words go astray, I don’t know but
Vandana...
there still remains a wing of a bird’s song Will time arrive to steal the one remaining?
She is brought here.
Don’t you want to see her?
We cannot keep her for long.
Vinod...
I want to see him once.
I want to see Unnikrishnan.
I have only one wish.
I cannot get to my feet.
Hold me once.
Take me to him.
Gangan, get down .
It is my great wish, sir.
Unnikrishnan is the last one to see my girl alive.
I want to bow to him.
By killing my girl, he has become God.
The god who has the right to take life.
Do you really want to see him?
Yes sir, I want to see him.
Then come with me.
Unnikrishnan, are you not my bosom friend?
While you were killing her, did she look at your face?
Did she look at your face unbelievably?
She could not have believed it.
She would have died without believing her eyes.
You should live long.
I should not live in the world where you live.
Hey, what is he doing?
Gangan, what are you doing?
Sir, hold him.
What foolishness is it?
Sir, he was trying to kill himself by cutting his neck.
Sir, take him to the hospital.
Come on make it fast.
You go dear...
Get down mother...
This would also have been a case that was to end without any lead.
It is your intervention that brought the truth out. How did you do it?
Through love.
I loved her a lot and she also loved me.
I wanted to see her all the time.
I will live to remember her.
Do you think that this is the success of students?
Yes. For sure.
