Oh, Lord! Protect us.
Appan, some people are here to see you.
It's the trustee members of Kanimangalam Temple.
They want us to co-operate in organising
the annual temple festival.
I see.
It has been 16 years..
It has been 16 years since the last temple celebration.
I have been using only my left eye for all these years.
I have seen the destruction of Kanimangalam.
It's not yet over.
I want to see the palace in ruins.
I want to enjoy that sight.
I have the blessings of the Gods
I've been worshipping with devotion.
Mangalam, have no fear.
One must be a little courageous.
Hey, Nambeesan. - Yes?
On our way back
I will display my courage just for you.
I will show you. Then what?
He has been pulling my leg for some time now.
You're right. I am a bit scared.
Sharody, aren't you feeling it? - What?
Are you asking about courage or fear?
What do you feel right now?
If you ask me so, I am not scared.
It is just a weird feeling.
You don't have to complicate it.
This is what we call fear. - Rubbish!
Are we here to steal something?
Or are we here to kill someone?
We just need to meet him and discuss the matter. That's it.
Is Kolapulli Appan a wild elephant
to be so scared of? - You're right!
What? - Yes, he is a wild tusker.
Is there anyone man enough in Kanimangalam to tame him?
Tell me.
Why are you all standing mum?
Apputty Nambiar.
I have a problem of blabbering nonsense.
You are the master of Karate!
Pardon me.
It is not Karate, it's 'Kalari'. - Oh.
Ouch!
What are people from Kanimangalam doing in Kolapulli?
None of them is good enough to be invited inside.
So, I made them stand here.
You can now tell him the matter.
Sharody, you better take the initiative. - You could
guess the purpose of our visit.
You need to show some mercy.
The Kanimangalam temple festival should be organised this year.
It has been 16 years since the last festival.
We have all experienced the adverse effects of that.
Every person has faced
the wrath of the Goddess.
We don't have to tell you the devastated condition
of the Kanimangalam Manor.
It's completely in ruins.
The rightful owners of the palace
are now settled in the city.
The worshipping in the temple is all unorganised
and the palace is abandoned.
There is no one to take care of things.
Lord, only you can find a solution for this problem.
We are well aware of the past, my Lord.
Your face reminds us of the cruelty done by Lord Dathan.
He got the punishment for his doings.
It's been years since he lost his mental balance and ran away.
We are not even sure if he is alive or not.
You should have a heart to pardon and forget the past.
We need your permission to take the ornaments of the deity
for the temple festival.
Enough! You don't have to say more.
Sixteen years ago
I had taken an oath by taking a fistful of sand
soaked in my blood.
Do you think I will step back from that decision?
You can leave.
You don't have to come again with this request.
Let Kanimangalam Manor be destroyed.
I want to see it in ruins!
Then, I'll think about reconsidering my decision.
You can leave!
There's nothing left to say or hear.
Didn't you hear him? - We did.
Are you left with anything to say?
We could've waited to hear that as well. - Damn!
Enough, dear.
I still have a fever.
I feel very tired.
That's the reason I called you here.
What's the matter?
I got to know that people had come from Kanimangalam.
If you could permit
for the temple festival this year.. - No!
You don't have to say anything, Subhadra.
The women here need not take decisions.
The men in this Kolapulli family are still alive.
Do you've anything else to say?
No.
This is wrong.
You shouldn't be so adamant.
You don't have to teach me what is right or wrong.
I made only one mistake in my life.
Not being able to withstand your grief
I got you married to a scoundrel
like Kanimangalam Dathan.
I got punished for getting my sister married
to a bloody Casanova like him.
Not just 16 years..
My revenge against that family
will never subside.
You know your brother, Subhadra.
Just lie there without uttering a word.
So, the temple festival will happen only if the ornaments are given
by the Kolapulli family, right? - Yes.
That is the tradition.
It's the practice since the olden days.
We cannot go against it.
But I heard that Kanimangalam Manor was for sale.
I got to know this from our MLA.
That was a decision made by the children of Mrs. Lakshmi.
Many people had come here to see the palace.
But when they see this ruined temple
they step back from buying it.
If at all someone decides to buy it
Kolapulli Appan would stop them.
Mrs. Subhadra is the wife
of Lord Dathan, who is Mrs. Lakshmi's brother.
She is Appan's sister.
These assets belong to her as well.
That is what Appan uses in his favour.
If at all someone buys this palace
what will be the condition of Krishnavarma?
Are you talking about that singer? - Yes.
How is he related to Kanimangalam family? - He has no relation.
Mrs. Lakshmi used to run a dance
and music school in the palace.
He was a music teacher there.
Why did he stay back here even after
Mrs. Lakshmi's demise?
That was his fate.
Lord Dathan's daughter, Unnimaya
is a very unlucky child.
She doesn't know about her mother.
Long back, at a dusk
Lord Dathan brought home
a small baby wrapped in a cloth.
He said that it was his child
and that her mother had died.
He ordered Mrs. Lakshmi
to look after the baby.
Since everyone was scared of Dathan
nobody even tried to question him.
Nobody knows anything about
her mother's whereabouts.
Mr. Krishnavarma was the one who raised that child.
Pillai, did you understand?
Those two will become homeless
if that palace is sold.
I have never seen that girl.
She is a very graceful and well-mannered girl.
She is smart.
She teaches music and dance to small kids
to earn a living.
It is all fate.
Her father was a peculiar man
who left the village once he became mentally ill.
God knows who her mother is!
Poor girl.
Have you started already?
I see that you have an audience too.
Only you'll bother to keep him company.
I once used to have an audience for real.
That's enough.. You need not repeat those stories again.
I wonder who would be patient enough
to listen to this.
Neverland!
How dare you!
I was Chembai Vaidyanatha's most favourite disciple.
The King of Kollankodu was so impressed with my music
that he gifted me this harmonium with love.
Along with Rs. 500.
It will be equivalent to around Rs. 50,000 now.
I don't need to convince you.
You are narrating this story to me
for the umpteenth time.
You make me do that.
Like you are a great singer!
Are you M. S. Subbulakshmi?
Maybe you are in front of your students. - That'll do.
At least I have an audience.
Unlike you, whose audience are cats and dogs.
Quit back chatting at this hour!
Have you lit the lamps? - Yes.
Have you filled the lamps with oil? - Why not?
Then carry on, Subbulakshmi. - I shall, Chembai.
They will sell it. It is for sure.
Balaraman has no other choice.
His business in Bangalore is not doing well.
His wife leads a posh life.
I heard that he is neck deep in debts.
Mrs. Lakshmi's other children are suffering too.
We can't stop them. They'll do as they like.
And let them. But..
Unnimaya is their uncle's daughter. I hope they don't forget that.
It's always the easiest to forget.
It helps too.
Who is the buyer?
We don't know for sure. He is an outsider.
Will they regularly conduct the festivals?
Will they be believers? - Don't keep such hopes.
They may destroy it too.
Affluent people these days would opt for it.
Is that what concerns you?
We'll be left homeless.
We aren't going anywhere, Dad.
I have rights to my father's property.
Let me see who'll deny me that right.
Does anyone doubt that I am not Mr. Dathan's daughter?
We don't have any written evidence to prove that.
But I know it and that's the proof.
Don't worry about this, Dad.
I'll take care of it.
Did you hear that?
She addresses me as her dad.
She knows that I am no one to her.
She has been seeing me as her dad ever since.
And that's what keeps me here.
Oh, Goddess.
I hope that we don't have to end up on the streets.
I can't leave this place.
Hello.
James. Where is Jagan?
He was here a few minutes ago.
He's nowhere to be found now.
I don't know where he has gone to.
Oh, shit! Everything is a mess.
Aby Mathew has cheated us.
He has a gone back on his word.
He is going to collaborate
the Australian company with Ramaswamy Associates.
Rascal! James.
I want you to search for Jagannathan.
I need him.
I can't do anything without him.
Yes. Get him to me, James.
Yes. This is Nandakumar.
Lord Shiva!
Oh, Jagan. Where are you calling from?
I heard that you'd find it hard to rest
if you don't see me alive.
Where are you calling from?
We are in a crisis. - Nandakumar..
Don't you know Erick John from Denmark?
The crazy violinist?
He has arrived today from Manali.
He is here with some weed.
I am going to meet him.
I met a friend on the way.
We are in the middle of a discussion now. Pour some more.
I will be going to watch a Ghazal concert later.
Kishan Mathur will be performing. Will you be coming?
Don't drive me nuts here.
I am in a pickle right now.
Some weed may help.
You may add rum or Cola to it.
Aby has messed with me.
I heard that he was going to give that contract
to Ramaswamy Associates.
Did you? - I am the one who knows it all!
Lord Shiva!
You must come.
Nothing will happen unless you come.
I must not lose that contract.
Such a waste of a beautiful night.
Don't worry. Why don't you have a drink?
Keep count on the number of pegs you have.
I will be there before the fourth one.
What? Are you going alone?
Let's get Erick John and his friends too.
Why leave them out?
After all, we are celebrating our 50th Independence day.
Praise to thee, Mother.
Go now..
Get in.
I will ride it.
Lord Shiva!
Excuse me.
I wanted to meet Mr. Aby Mathew. - Sorry, mister.
We can't let you inside.
It's urgent. - Mister!
You can't meet him now. Can't you understand?
Leave now.
Get here!
Hey! I will fuck you, bastard!
Hi there. We would like to meet Mr. Aby Mathew.
Just a minute, sir. - Hello.
Hi.
I hope you have an appointment. - Yes, we do.
Are you sure? - Sure.
There he is. Mr. Aby Mathew has come.
Hello. - Hello. - I am Aby Mathew.
I am Erick from Denmark.
Hi. - Hello.
If you don't mind, please spare us some time. - Sure, yes.
This way!
I see that you were willing to meet others!
You must stick to your words! - Leave me, please.
Hadn't you promised that business contract to Nandakumar?
How can you give it to Ramaswamy?
Your grandfather
used to earn a living selling livestock.
He used to sell them in the market. He is no more.
Or else, I would have let him teach you
the tactics and ideals of running a business!
This ends your discussion with Ramaswamy.
As per the deal, the contract belongs to Nandakumar.
If the commission is less, he is willing to pay you.
However, that deal must be his.
Leave me, Jagan.. I'll tell you everything.
Please.
No!
Hey! If I push you
your body will scatter into pieces!
There won't be the need of a coffin!
A polyethene bag would be more than enough!
Tell me.
Come on. All the business tricks that you learned in the USA
won't come to your rescue.
I need you to give me your word and I want you to stick to it.
That deal should be Nandakumar's. Tell me..
Okay, Jagan. You have my word. Trust me..
If you break your promise, I won't spare you!
This is Jagan. Mind it.
Yes..
The fourth peg.
You have come here before the fourth peg.
That's Jagan!
Something that only you can do! He had called me.
That scoundrel. Aby Mathew.
He said, I can sign the contract with the Australians tomorrow.
Moron!
Sit.
Do you know what the profit you earned us today is?
Crores of rupees! Not just one or two, but Rs. 50 crores!
Rs. 50 crores!
Jagan, tell me. How much do you want?
Rs. 5 crores or Rs. 10 crores?
Do you want half of the money?
No.
Rascal! Don't turn down the money.
I will give you anything you ask for. You deserve it.
You are my lucky charm.
My profit started multiplying ever since I met you.
Tell me. How much do you want?
Isn't this your wallet? - Yes.
This is more than enough.
A bottle of rum, two packs of cigarette and a trip
around the city in a taxi till morning. That's enough.
Don't tell me about huge sums of money.
I don't like hearing about it.
I hate seeing more money than I need.
No way..
I want to celebrate it!
What else do you want if you don't want money?
Do you want to fly to Paris tomorrow? - Why?
To sleep with beautiful women! - Jeez! - Or get drunk!
Just for a change.
Or we could spend it on gambling in the casinos in Las Vegas. - No.
Tell me. I will buy you anything
that money can buy in this world.
Anything? - Anything.
Then buy this for me.
What is it? An old house?
Where is it? - Kerala.
A palace on the banks of River Bharathapuzha.
I don't know how much it would cost us.
I am worth Rs. 250 crores!
If it would cost more than that, please give me some time.
You could buy the entire state of Kerala with Rs. 250 crores!
I just need this.
James. - Sir.
Yes, sir.
Didn't you hear him? I want you to buy it tomorrow itself.
You may withdraw the necessary amount from the bank. - Yes, sir.
What's your relationship with this old palace?
A wish.. Madness..
A petty affection or craze for the antiquated things and the past.
You can call it anything. - James. - Sir.
Buy it in Nandan's name and not mine. - No..
Let's buy it in your name. Why should I be involved?
No, Nandan. I will lose the thrill if it's mine.
I could be there in place of you.
I want to be a tenant till I breathe my last.
I don't want to buy anything for myself. No strings attached.
I want it to end in that fashion. - This isn't craziness
but insanity!
I will come to see your palace after my European trip.
You aren't going anywhere tonight.
We'll get drunk and let's fall asleep together.
If you want, I can arrange a couple of women..
No.. - ...to give us company!
Lord Shiva!
Didn't you check the documents, Mr. James?
Yes. - What is the confusion then?
We are still doubtful about something.
That's what the lawyer said.
To be on the safe side, we need to ensure that there won't
be any objections from that party..
There is no validity for my uncle's wife's right to this property.
How could she have any rights to his property as they are childless?
That I agree. But it's just an assumption that he is dead.
He is missing, right?
There has been no information about him for the past 15 years.
He'd have passed away. - Just a belief. There is no evidence.
See, Mr. Balaraman.
If Lady Subhadra moves legally in the future
it will be a problem.
Open the door.
What is it? Go out, Govindankutty. - Shut up, Pillai.
Who amongst you is here to buy the palace? Is it you? - Yes.
Who are you? - It's not necessary that you should know me.
You need Lord Appan's permission to buy the palace.
We are here to take you to Kolapulli Manor.
Don't cause any trouble. Leave..
He is the one who will be in trouble.
If you want to avoid that, meet the Lord. - I won't.
You may leave. - Sir, do you know how dangerous a place this is?
You'll be in deep trouble. This place is fraught with danger.
Don't threaten me. - Govindankutty. - Go. Mind your own business.
Forget the threat! I will beat the hell out of you!
What's happening? - Don't create a scene. Govindankutty.. - Leave him.
You! - Jeez! Don't hit him!
Stop it! This is the government's.. - Shut up, Pillai. - Govindan..
Thrash him!
Govindankutty.. What on earth are you doing?
Why are you hitting him? - I won't let you do this here.
I will call the cops.
To hell with your arrogance!
How dare you mess with the people of Kolapulli! - What is this?
Why are you hitting him? - Thrash him!
Oh, God! - Thrash him! - What are you doing?
Why are you beating him up?
Leave him. - Who the hell are you? - Me?
My name is Bappu and I am from Thangalangady. Why do you ask?
Are you his friend? If yes, we'll thrash you as well.
No way. I don't let morons like you lay a finger on me.
If you are here to buy Kanimangalam Manor
I will chop off the legs of every single one of you!
You might have only dealt with
measly opponents until now.
I'm the one who is here to buy Kanimangalam Manor.
If there is anyone man enough
to fight me, he is most welcome!
Are you the local thug here?
How dare you beat James!
Get lost..
Well done! He deserves it.
Who do you think you are? Mr. Kerala?
Stand properly. Let..
Get lost!
I'm Ezhuthachan. - I'm Soman Pillai.
I'm the guest house manager. Please come in.
Come. - Come, Bappu.
No, thank you.
Mr. Varma.
It was not nice of you to keep us in the dark about
the rest of the heirs.
I never expected that from a man like you.
It's not fair.
Kolapulli Appan is hell-bent on doing this.
He will prevent the sale no matter who shows up.
He just enjoys it. Neither will he buy it
nor will he let anyone else take it.
Are you dropping your plans of buying the manor?
Well..
It's not a decision that I can easily reverse, Mr. Pillai.
How about I meet Kolapulli Appan?
I'll have a word with him.
He is deadly. - The only way to get smart
is by playing with a smarter opponent.
How else will it be thrilling?
What do you say, Bappu? - Yes.
My Lord, with the kind of games you play
he will surely meet his match.
Is he a nobleman? From which manor?
All in good time, Ezhuthachan.
We shall send men to Palakkad and summon Advocate Mani Iyer.
We'll file an injunction from the court in Kochi barring the sale.
What do you say, Appan? - Evade, you moron!
Didn't you hear me?
I did, Uncle. We shall arrange for the lawyer.
But he will be here before that. The one who wants to buy the manor.
The evil deities will bring him here.
This is where I stop.
The people from Kanimangalam are not allowed inside.
That was before. Come, Ezhuthachan.
No one will stop you. Come.
Bappu. - Go on.
They won't like a man of another religion in there.
Attack and spring back!
Swing to the left and right! Change course!
Swing and block! Left and right!
Stretch! That's it!
Is that him?
It must be.
Weapons once deployed and words once spoken..
Both can't be taken back. Remember that.
It will save you one day.
My name is Jagannathan.
I came here to meet you.
I need to speak with you in private.
Kindly hear me out.
I demolish and sell old houses for a living.
My friend told me about a manor with lots of woodwork.
That is how I ended up here.
I paid a sum in advance as well.
Only you can save me now, my Lord.
This is my biggest venture.
If the brokers are right, there is a lot of woodwork in there.
It consists purely of teak and rosewood.
It is worth the money I spent.
Our traditional doors and windows are of high demand in Bangalore.
I'll sell the bricks and roof tiles in the local market.
If you help me now, I'll sell you the land for a decent price.
I am not interested in that land.
Are you certain that you will demolish it?
Yes. Am I going to live there, my Lord?
What am I going to do in a remote area like this?
If you plan on demolishing it
why did you buy the land? - That is how I operate.
Once the land becomes mine, we can do as we please.
Also, isn't it an old manor?
What if I discover something valuable while demolishing it?
It has happened before.
If you could give me a solution..
You may proceed. The registration won't be stopped.
You must begin the demolition immediately.
Got it? - Of course!
We only need a few days once the registration is over.
Shall I proceed? - You shall.
Kolapulli Appan!
He is a scumbag!
That is why I chose a different tactic with him.
Why should we care since the registration is done?
The game starts now.
The real game begins now, Bappu.
Appan will react once he realises that I won't demolish the manor.
When are you returning to Dubai, Bappu? - I'll be here.
Just make a call to Thangalangady when you need anything.
I'll be here the next second.
Mr. Nandakumar had called even yesterday.
He asked me never to leave your side. - Sir.
What should I do?
Shall I go? - Yes..
You may leave, James. Since Nandan and I are not there
you must be there in Bangalore.
Inform Nandan about the events here. - Okay, sir.
I'll be shifting to the manor tomorrow.
Why, sir? Is the guest house not good enough?
No, Pillai. It's a wish.
I'll only be here for a few days.
I'll spend it there.
Who is it? - That..
Is that you, Govindankutty? - Yes.
What is it? - Well..
Are you here to fight me? - No.
I'm a bit drunk. That is bad for you.
Once the booze kicks in
I won't care. I'll fight like anything.
Are you feeling something?
Forgive me, sir. I was arrogant.
It made me do foolish things.
I won't repeat it. I'll be with you
until you ask me to leave. Please don't abandon me.
I am not a gang leader like Appan.
So naturally, I don't need bodyguards as well. - Okay.
Consider me as your servant.
We, the people of Kanimangalam, have a leader now.
We'll stand with pride against Kolapulli folks.
It was fear that made me join them.
What Govindankutty said is right.
The people of Kanimangalam have a Lord now. Our own Lord!
Who are you?
Are you deaf?
Who are you?
Yes.
I was just passing by.
What are you doing in the temple?
This is not public property.
May I know who you are?
That's not the answer I was expecting.
What is this?
Are you the Goddess who resides in this temple?
Yes. Have you seen the Goddess before to think otherwise?
Have you?
True.
A face glowing radiantly
and luscious hair.
An aura of divinity that surrounds you.
If I have to describe you like this
I should have been born blind.
You look like a scarecrow.
Are you the servant in the palace?
I'm keeping mum
as we are in the temple.
A servant!
I am the Lady of the palace, mister.
Who is this Lady that I have not heard of?
And who the hell are you?
I am the Lord.
Lord Jagannathan of Kanimangalam Manor.
You certainly don't look like a Lord.
Are you the servant of the one who bought the palace?
I might be right. We live in crazy times.
Move away, Lord!
One more thing.
Tell the Lord
that I want to meet him.
I want to talk to him.
You are the epitome of arrogance.
I'll get back at you.
What did you say? - Lord Shiva!
He is not only a Lord
but a smart man as well.
He is a rare breed.
We are in trouble, dear.
What is it?
The Lord who bought the palace has come.
When he came to know that you both were still here
he showed his true nature.
He is furious.
What shall we do now?
I know what to do.
Let me pay him a visit. - What?
What? - Well
I'll tell him that we don't plan to leave anytime soon.
What?
Stop, dear.
Unnimaya is adamant, Mangalam. I don't know what's going to happen.
Fate will take the route it desires.
We are in trouble.
What?
Hey, mister.
What is it, ma'am?
Call your boss.
What is it?
I will discuss it with him.
Is it a secret?
Am I not supposed to hear it?
Don't irritate me. Call him now!
Who should I say is here for him?
Unnimaya.
Is that your name?
Yes. Unnimaya!
Don't shout.
Will he recognise you by your name? - Yes, he will.
Hey! Someone named Unnimaya has come to meet you.
Hey! Mangalam has escaped.
I am the one who bought this palace.
What do you have to say?
This is Mr. Krishnavarma.
What is your intention?
Well, won't you both vacate this palace?
Do you think it is right of you to do so?
No. It's not because I don't know
but we are helpless.
I don't care about that.
I have completed all the formalities for buying this manor.
The palace, the surrounding plot
the properties, artefacts.. Look here, Mr. Krishnavarma.
That is, the furniture, utensils
tools, lamps..
I have the detailed list.
I have paid them for everything.
This might escalate to the police station and the court.
I'm not interested in that. Neither do I have the time.
If you think she has rights over this, approach the court.
But only after you vacate the palace.
We won't leave so easily.
What? - Don't, dear.
Everyone cheated us.
You also stood by them.
What is she saying?
She is saying that I cheated her.
Don't say that, dear.
They might have cheated you. But he had nothing to do with that.
That's true. Are you going around accusing innocent ones?
You are at his mercy now.
I cannot be merciful, Nambeesan.
They have to vacate this palace soon.
I don't want to hear anything else.
My character is very bad at times.
Don't threaten us.
I don't have the heart to vacate. What can you do?
What can I do?
Have you heard about Bombay, dear?
Bombay, that was renamed as Mumbai recently.
The slums there are very famous.
There is a slum there filled with thieves and crooks
named Dharavi.
I had helped vacate that place in a single night.
So it will be as easy as plucking a flower
for me to throw you out of this palace.
Oh, no, my Lord.
Her helplessness is forcing her to talk that way.
Forgive her, my Lord. She's an innocent.
She's not so innocent.
Her tongue is sharp enough to break a sword.
You must give them at least a few days' time, my Lord.
We shall find a solution by then.
Come, Mr. Krishnavarma.
Come, dear.
Stop staring at me, big eyes!
Just kidding.
They are making a lot of noise.
I think they are drinking.
Cover your ears. Pretend not to hear them.
He says that he is a Lord.
God only knows!
He seems like a lowlife.
We shall celebrate this night.
No one should leave tonight
without being intoxicated.
Drink until you lose your senses.
Else, you shouldn't try at all.
That is Jagan's law of drinking.
What is this?
Very good.
What is this, Sharody?
A crown. A crown for the Sixth Lord.
The Sixth Lord?
Yes.
Everyone after the reign of the Fifth Lord were losers
who were incapable of anything.
But now we have an able Lord.
You are the Sixth Lord.
Consider this to be your coronation ceremony.
I shall drink a lot
of whisky today.
It's not 'today', but 'tonight'. Okay, Mangalam?
Yes, Nambeesan.
But you will leave us soon, sir.
You told us that you wouldn't be here for long.
Fate brought you to this land.
The Goddess won't leave you so soon.
Lord. - Yes?
Folks from Kolapulli have come.
What? - They are here to meet you.
Call them. - Who could it be?
Could it be Lord Appan? - Never.
It must be his slaves.
Hey, pour a drink for me..
Here.
Done.
Here.
Sit. Sit, Ezhuthachan.
They are my guests.
I am supposed to welcome them.
Why are you here at this late hour?
Well, we thought of visiting you. - Okay.
When will you demolish the palace?
When do you intend to start it?
Lord Appan has asked us to enquire the same.
Tell him that I'm in a dilemma.
Are you saying that you won't demolish it?
Why? - I didn't mean that.
We should demolish it.
I am thinking about the modus operandi.
I have an idea of demolishing it using a bomb.
The labour charges these days are high.
Bombs are cheaper. We can buy it from Malappuram.
I have yet another idea.
We can also burn the palace down.
We can bring down the truss from the burning manor.
We'll fiddle while the house burns.
We can also make a show out of it.
Please feel free to make suggestions if you have any.
Are you making fun of us?
Are you trying to fool us?
What's the fun in trying to fool a fool?
Dear friend, why is Lord Appan so interested
in demolishing the palace?
He is obsessed with it!
Hello.
We won't be demolishing the palace anytime soon.
It's not your decision to make.
You can indulge in the money and booze he offers you.
But don't try to be over smart. - Bastard!
How dare you talk to me like that?
You are Lord Appan's faithful dog.
Hey! - No!
You needn't fight. You can go.
I've decided to live here for a while.
When I get tired of it, we'll do as you please.
We can demolish or burn it. I'll let you know. You can go now.
Don't go back on your decisions expecting their support.
You need Kolapulli Appan's support to live around here
no matter who it is.
Any land under the sun is the same for me.
I don't need support of any kind from anyone.
It's easier to destroy, but it's not easy to build something.
Don't persuade me to destroy. That won't be good for you.
I won't stop once I start destroying.
I'll destroy everything.
There is another version of me that I have chained inside me.
A wounded animal. Don't try to release it.
It won't end well for anyone who tries to do that.
No one needs to cross the river
and come to Kanimangalam with orders anymore.
You can leave if you understood that.
Why is everyone standing transfixed?
I did it simply to scare them.
Words do more good than beatings. Isn't that right, Govindankutty?
Lord Shiva!
Fix me a drink, Pillai. - For sure.
Stop it!
What is this..
Music practise? I can't allow this..
You are disturbing my sleep with your music.
I hate classical music.
Especially when women do it and children follow up.
I don't like any of this.
These children have much better things to learn at this age.
Children, do your parents know about this?
They are the ones who send us for music lessons.
Is that so? Is it a music lesson?
She must be the teacher. You pay her too, right?
Yes. We also give her other stuffs apart from money.
It's like the olden days.
Is that so? So, you're making good money with this.
It's not like that. This is our livelihood.
That is fine.. I don't mind.
But since I'm the owner of this building, I have to say something.
We should talk about the rent for the class space.
Isn't that right, Teacher? We should reach a decision.
We'll talk. - Okay.
You can go. - No. You can sit.
Sit there. I'll go for now. Let the class continue.
I don't like hurting children.
You take a lot from them. Teach them. Teach them well.
I'll kill myself after I kill him!
Unnimaya, do you remember us?
Let's see.
There is no one around here who doesn't know you.
Mrs. Warrier told me that you and your dad were staying here
even after the palace was sold. Where could you go?
It's unfortunate. I always talk about your bad luck.
There are people like you to worry about me.
What about these girls though?
These girls you take with you everywhere.
You should think about them once in a while too.
I don't want to argue with you. - Where are you going?
I'm here to see Lord Jagannathan.
You can do that outside the palace grounds.
I won't let you inside. - Who are you to say that?
Lord Jagannathan owns the palace.
I don't care who owns the palace.
I won't let you and these girls inside this compound. That is all.
Unnimaya. - What?
She is here to see the Lord. You shouldn't object.
Let them come inside. - So you invited them.
You better ask them to leave at once.
Did you invite me here for her to kick me out?
Ma'am.. - No. We are leaving.
I understand why she is like this. No wonder
she has not left the palace. Have the Lord all for yourself.
Your behaviour suggests the kind of woman your mother was!
Go. Get lost!
I won't stop at this if you continue talking.
Ma'am, you should go now. Don't make a scene.
She slapped me. I won't forget this.
I'll make sure she suffers for this!
What is this..
Who gave her the right to do this?
Since I've asked this girl and that old man to leave from here
how dare she insult my guests?
Why is she silent, Govindankutty?
I don't have the right. But I don't like women like her.
That's why I didn't let them in. - Your decision doesn't matter.
I own this place. Doesn't my decision count? Tell me!
Govindankutty, she is silent. She says those women were bad.
I'm a bad man too. I've told her that I'm a bad man.
So, my friends would be the same too.
I haven't asked anyone to check the morality of my guests.
No one needs to do that, right? - That's right.
Govindankutty, she is still silent. - She..
I'm sorry. Forgive me if I was wrong.
Govindankutty told me that you slapped her
in addition to throwing her out.
You slapped someone who is older than you.
Do you think it was right?
Govindankutty, are you silent as well? She is not talking.
She..
It's.. It's because she talked ill about my mother.
I don't even remember her. She died a long time ago.
I don't know my mother's name or where she was from.
But I love my mother a lot.
I get sad and angry if anyone insults my mother.
I lost control.
Hey!
Hey. Don't cry.
Govindankutty, she is crying.
Hey.. Listen to me.
Hey. Don't cry and..
What happened? - That old man and the girl..
We'll kick them out. - No!
I don't mind. Let them live here.
Do you have a problem? Don't kick them out. Let them live here.
Lord. - Yes.
You will be blessed.
I don't want blessings. Let that girl have it too.
What about that ma'am? - Who?
The woman. - To hell with her!
I'll kick you if you ever bring it up.
Did I tell you that I was horny? - No.
Do I look like it? - No.
What! Get lost! Just kidding.
My God!
I was relieved when the Lord said that we needn't move out.
He is a generous man.
I can't take it anymore.
If I could go to Palakkad, I would get rid of these two teeth..
What is it? You sound like you're drunk.
You don't make any sense. Or was it a new Raga?
I'll give you a beating. It hurts so much.
I don't have money to go to Palakkad or Pattambi
to fix it. Have you saved any money?
Oh, no! You could've told me yesterday.
I deposited the 20 lakhs I had in the bank yesterday.
How can I withdraw it so soon?
What a pity! What do I do now?
Whom will I borrow money from?
My dear musician!
I lost my nose pin almost a year ago.
I'll have to pierce my nose again.
I'm unable to even buy a small nose pin
and you are worried about your teeth!
I can pluck that tooth of yours.
You don't have to go all the way to Palakkad for that.
A song.. - What is going on there?
It's a drinking party in the Lord's palace.
Hey, mind your words.
Stop it! - What?
We are least bothered about Mangalam's love story.
Forget all that.
I just want Mangalam to sing now.
Mangalam, you better sing now.
If you don't sing, I'll beat you up.
I said, sing!
I will sing.
I'll sing, my Lord.
Maintain silence.
Mangalam is going to sing. - Yes.
Where is the instrument? - What?
What instrument are you talking about? - Harmonium.
Why do you need that?
Don't you know that?
I cannot sing without a Harmonium.
You can sing a song that doesn't need a Harmonium.
Hey, don't talk rubbish.
I cannot sing without a Harmonium.
I will never sing without that. - All right.
Where will we find a Harmonium?
Where will you get it now?
It's already late now. I'll sing tomorrow.
Pour me some more. - I'll thrash you!
Can't you sing without a Harmonium?
It is a bit difficult for me.
Hey, look here. Listen to me.
Yes. - I will arrange for a Harmonium.
How will you arrange it?
Lord. - Yes.
Mr. Krishnavarma has got a Harmonium. I'll get it from him.
No.. No need of that.
That's a very old one. - That's all right.
Oh, no..
You are an old man.
Your song is an old one.
I will make you sing tonight.
Nambeesan, tell him that I need it. - Okay.
Where are you going?
The Harmonium.. - He will bring it.
No, please don't ask that. I cannot give this to you.
This is my priceless possession.
Lord Jagannathan sent me here.
You better obey him. - I see.
When did he become your Lord?
Stop mocking him.
For us, he is the Sixth Lord of Kanimangalam.
He is not a scoundrel like your cousins!
So, Mr. Krishnavarma, won't you part with your Harmonium?
Tell him not to get angry at me.
Except this..
By the way, who is capable of playing a Harmonium there?
You can leave, Nambeesan.
This Harmonium needn't be used for entertaining drunkards.
I see. Did she say that? All right.
Lord, shall I go?
I will get it from him. - No need.
I'm sad that Mangalam got to escape.
Let's buy a new one. Shall we, Nambeesan?
Still, look at Krishnavarma's arrogance!
He lives here at the mercy of Lord Jagannathan.
Forget it, Sharody. - To hell with his Harmonium!
Let's start the next round of drinks.
Pillai, come on. - Yes.
I am not greedy for gold.
I have no right to wish.
I know that.
I had bought that nose pin with great desire.
But it was my bad luck that I lost it in the pond.
I cannot afford a new one.
But still, I inserted a small piece of toothpick into the piercing
to prevent it from closing up.
I don't know how that lady could make it out.
And she started questioning.
'What is it, Unnimaya? Why don't you have a nose pin?'
That was enough for everyone to mock me!
I felt so ashamed!
Hey, are you listening?
I am not asking for a gold bangle.
I'm just asking for a small
nose pin made of gold.
I just wish for that.
Whom will I tell this?
The person here cares only about his Harmonium and nothing else.
We'll be fine only once you get rid of that Harmonium.
It should be given to a scrap collector!
I'm a poor girl.
Have you ever thought
of buying me anything? Never!
You just sit here doing nothing.
It's all my fate! No use of complaining.
Do you want a nose pin as well?
I've seen a cat with a nose pin in a movie.
I've seen the movie posters as well.
Hey, Kurinji! Come here.
It is his practice time. Don't disturb him.
You don't have to buy me anything.
Can't you at least console me?
You don't even do that!
It's my fate! I am an orphan after all.
I told you that I didn't need it.
Then why did you bring it here?
But you'd asked for it yesterday.. - But that was yesterday.
I don't want it now.
Each day, I have different interests.
Yesterday, I wanted a Harmonium.
Today, I want a double-barrelled gun.
Do you have one?
Please don't have hard feelings towards me.
Please accept this and give me some money.
But didn't you tell that this was your priceless possession?
Yes, I did say that.
But I'm in need of money.
Other than this, I've nothing else to sell.
Hey, doesn't this work?
You need to move it this way. - Do it.
How much money are you expecting?
Well.. Rs. 1,000.
Rs. 1,000? Are you kidding?
Who will pay you Rs. 1,000 for this old instrument?
I will get a Scotch for Rs. 1,000.
Actually, I needed that much money.
How can you say that?
Suppose you are in need of Rs. 10,000
and you've only got a jackfruit to sell.
But can you sell a jackfruit for Rs. 10,000?
You should be reasonable.
I can pay you Rs. 750. What do you say?
That won't be enough.
Please take it back. I don't want it. - I thought you could help..
I don't help others without any profit.
If you have any gold, I can give you the equivalent amount.
I am a poor man.
Then what should I do?
Okay. I can give your Rs. 900, not a penny more.
No more bargains.
I agree. Please give it to me.
Here.
I don't have change to give you.
I'll get it later. But you shouldn't forget. - I'll not.
Thank you.
Do you want to have a drink?
What did you mean, my Lord?
Alcohol. Shall I get you one shot?
No, sorry.
I have never had that habit.
Pardon me. - Okay.
By the way.. - Yes?
If you ever plan to start drinking
feel free to come here.
Many people have turned into drunkards by doing so.
I am very good at it. - All right.
Dear, take a look at this.
Wear this nose pin and come.
I want to see you.
Just take a look at this.
If you don't like it, I'll get it exchanged.
I don't want to see.
Dear, just take a look.
No need.
Then for whom did I buy this?
You had just wished for a pinch of gold.
How could I not fulfil
this small wish of yours?
Did you have to sell your Harmonium for that?
How could you do this just because I blabbered
some nonsense?
I never meant what I said.
I know how important that Harmonium was to you.
Oh, God! Forget about that Harmonium.
You are the only important person in my life.
Was that Harmonium more important than you?
Instead of playing that instrument, I could've done something useful.
Our life is filled with sorrow.
Such instances of joy are all that we have
amidst that sorrow.
You are just trying to console me hiding your sorrow.
Oh, God! What should I do now?
What are you doing?
I had kept this money to take you to Palakkad.
Here, take this money
and bring back your Harmonium. - No, dear.
You should do it.
I cannot sacrifice your
happiness for mine.
You must get it back.
Dear. - Tell me if you can't do it.
I'll go. Right now!
On this night!
What brings you here, ma'am?
This is a gathering of the unholy!
Step in and you will get tainted!
Here! I need that Harmonium back.
I am here to return the money.
What is this?
Are you people mocking me?
One sells and the other one buys it back!
What is this? - My father made a mistake.
H-He shouldn't have sold it!
He feels bad to come back here.
That is why I am here. - What difference does it make?
No matter who comes, I won't give it back.
I don't return things that I buy.
Please don't say that. - What else should I say?
You don't know its value. - Value?
I paid the price he quoted.
To be honest, he owes me Rs. 100.
There is a value to it far more than what money can buy.
And what might that be?
What was that saying? Money rules.. The world or universe..
Something like that.. - Yes. - Is that it? - I must go.
I must give that harmonium back to my father.
I already told you. I won't give it back.
If you want me to declare it formally..
This harmonium that I purchased from.. - What will you do with it?
I will play it
and make funny noises.
And when I get bored of it, I'll smash it.
I'll even cook meals out of it.
I can do what I please with things that I buy.
The Indian Constitution allows me to do so.
You may do so. Do as you please.
I know what a monkey can do with a garland.
You, who don't know anything about music
would see this as just an object.
You may buy a manor and a harmonium with your money.
But there are many things that money can't buy.
The most important among them is the gift of talent.
No matter how much you try
you can never sing in perfect pitch and rhythm.
You will regret doing this when you realise that.
Music.
An ocean that seems more vast the closer you get.
I have wandered seeking it.
An idea flashed in my mind while I was counting stars
on the banks of river Yamuna.
What was that? To go to Gwalior.
What for? To study Hindustani music.
Gwalior. The search for the mysterious 'Gharana magic peacock'
led me to the lair of an old maestro.
Ustad Badusha Khan!
He was high.
What was he indulging in? Some top-notch Bhang.
I presented my request. He asked me for a fee.
What will a pauper have in his pocket? Nothing!
Remembering my mother, who taught me the basics of music
I sang something in Darbar Raga.
He didn't let me finish.
He held me close to him.
He was impressed.
Then followed the days where I had Bhang in my veins
and music in my heart.
And one day
I paid my final respects at my teacher's grave and set out
on a journey that still goes on.
A life of journeys that never ends.
Lord Shiva!
"The tune of Lord Krishna's flute"
"that flows through the gardens of Vrindavan"
"is a mesmerising song of love."
"The tune of Lord Krishna's flute"
"that flows through the gardens of Vrindavan"
"is a mesmerising song of love."
"The tune of Lord Krishna's flute.."
"Oh, sweet Radha! In search of you.."
"Oh, sweet Radha! In search of you"
"wanders a love-filled heart."
"While the silence of the setting sun"
"realises the love of the earth.."
"His heart burns as a lamp"
"that illuminates your pedestal."
"He becomes a dust particle"
"that was excited by the touch of your feet."
"The tune of Lord Krishna's flute"
"that flows through the gardens of Vrindavan"
"is a mesmerising song of love."
"The tune of Lord Krishna's flute.."
"Oh, river Yamuna! Your cheeks adorn.."
"The tune of Lord Krishna's flute"
"that flows through the gardens of Vrindavan"
"is a mesmerising song of love."
"The tune of Lord Krishna's flute.."
"The tune of"
"Lord Krishna's flute.."
What a surprise! Lord Appan! Greetings, my Lord!
So, you do remember me. - Of course.
How could I forget you? - If you remember me, the promise
you gave me would also be in your memory.
Isn't it about demolishing the palace?
I still haven't dropped that idea. He is Bappu from Thangalangady.
He's seen the palace, but we still haven't fixed the cost of the wood.
He is still interested though.
He said he'd buy me 'Pathiri' and chicken curry if I go to Shoranur.
I've only had vegetarian food ever since I moved into the palace.
Since there is a temple nearby, I'm not
supposed to have non-vegetarian food inside the palace.
They witnessed you drinking toddy with some morons.
They informed me about it.
Jeez! That wasn't toddy but Scotch whisky.
It's vegetarian. It is distilled from fruits.
It is said in the Puranas that kings used to drink Soma.
I've understood that you are a loudmouth.
Enough with the lecture. What is your decision?
That's what I want to know.
I've heard that you are relishing your time as the Sixth Lord!
Who are you? Why did you buy the palace?
I want to know the truth.
You want me to answer two questions.
The first question is who I am.
There is no answer.
It's the question that haunts mankind though
we've conquered the heights of knowledge.
Buddha and Adi Shankara searched the answer for the same question.
'Who am I?' They couldn't answer it.
The destiny of every human being is to find its answer.
Question number two, why did I buy the palace? The answer is simple.
I bought it for fun just like that.
I'm on a journey to fulfil a crazy dream of mine.
I shall come to your place when I get time. I like philosophy.
You! Move the vehicle!
I'll beat you up if you obstruct my way and try to threaten me!
Son of a bitch!
Please go, Lord Appan.
Talking to me right here will tarnish your reputation.
I'll come to your place when it's time. Please leave.
Bappu, start the car.
Just kidding!
We should be wary of him. I can sense the intensity in his eyes.
His words are sharp.
The evil deities aren't pleased now.
I don't know why, but I feel perturbed.
He has a flawless plan and it suggests that there is a
solid reason why he is here.
I feel something bad is on the horizon.
What new-found halo do you see in me?
I will leave. I am not supposed to stay anywhere permanently.
No, you can leave only if we let you.
We won't let you go no matter what. We need someone to be here for us.
I am an outsider, sir.
I am destined to leave this village when I get a transfer order.
I feel like I am one among them
because of my friendship with these people.
Only you can conduct the temple festival.
Only you can take on Kolapulli Appan.
I don't want to wage war against anyone.
This isn't war but the grief
that so many people have been enduring for a long time now.
To attain salvation from the curse that haunts us, the festival
at Aniyathikavu should be celebrated.
That's just a superstition.
It's one of those justifications that we find out
when life gets the better of us.
God's presence isn't limited to just one temple.
He is the Entity that is present everywhere in this universe.
There is this verse in Bhagavad-Gita.
'God is within everyone, and so all are equally respect worthy.'
It's the naiveness of civilisations that related worship
to temples and their festivals.
Our actions should be our belief and our method of worship.
We, countrymen, won't understand your intellectual words.
If you lead us from the front, I'm ready to wrangle with anyone.
That's all I can do.
Our lives revolve around this temple and the Goddess.
What will happen to the planets if they are deprived of sunlight?
The Goddess will only be pleased if the festival is celebrated.
The village will then be blessed with prosperity.
It's all possible if you decide to move forward.
My Lord.
If you won't think that I'm annoying you with an old story..
Tell me. - There is an innocent Brahmin who lost his life because
of the rivalry between the Lords.
Lord Kaloor Brahmadathan.
When the sacred ornaments were stolen
someone blamed him.
He couldn't bear to hear that false accusation
and banged his head on the altar till he bled to death.
Though I was a stranger to him, when I first came here
he helped me a lot.
I am begging you for his soul.
Please conduct the festival.
I will.
It should happen.
We will conduct it.
My Lord..
They've hoisted the flag at the temple.
The initial rituals have started there.
Can't you hear the beats and the sound of firecrackers?
They are bursting 501 firecrackers instead of 101.
He deceived us.
What are you saying?
What can he possibly do?
He can't conduct the festival unless
we give him the sacred ornaments.
How can he conduct the festival ignoring the traditions?
We should have taken care of him back then.
I felt that he was a fraud the first time I saw him.
He came here once to beg for my mercy.
He will come again.
The evil deities will bring him here.
You hoisted the flag which marks the beginning of the festival
that I stopped 16 years ago.
Will you lower that flag yourself
or should I make you do it?
You are a swine who does not value his own word!
I came here to request for the innocent people of Kanimangalam.
Don't deprive them of their beliefs and right to worship.
Don't stand in their way.
You should compromise and consider making peace with them.
I am thinking of the day when we would have a happy ending to this.
You resemble a clever fox!
You are here to request, aren't you!
The festival should commence on the 16th day after the flag is hoisted
at the sacred grove.
The festival should be celebrated once the flag is hoisted.
You know it is impossible.
We should hand over the sacred ornaments
kept in our manor, at the banks of the river.
You know it won't happen, come hell or high water
and so you changed your strategy.
Don't think that we will fall for your little trick!
Get lost! Get the hell out of here!
I regret that I have to call you
a 'swine' instead of 'my Lord'.
You bloody swine named Appan!
Who do you think you are? A potentate?
The innocent people of this village
would be intimidated by the tricks you have up your sleeve.
But they aren't good enough for me.
I've dealt with men much worse than you.
I have hoisted the flag and I know how to conduct the festival.
I'll make you bring the sacred ornaments
and hand it over.
I'll make you come to the river banks.
I know that you'll do everything possible to ruin the festival.
But don't forget this.
If the festival doesn't happen, I'll burn you alive
before I leave this village.
Beat up that son of a bitch!
If you can find braver men
keep them with you.
I like men who have the courage to oppose me.
Do you understand, Mr. Appan?
Don't mess with the Lord of Kanimangalam!
Remember this.
I am the Sixth Lord of Kanimangalam.
Keep it there.
Doesn't Jagan live here?
Who? - Jagan. Jagannathan.
Jaggu.
Who are you? I can't recognise you.
I am Nayan.
Nayan Thara Devan.
That's my name.
What is your name, dear?
Dear?
Where are you from?
I am from a far away land.
Is there a place
that's too far away?
There are many places like that.
It's just that you don't know.
I have a name.
No one addresses me as 'dear'. It is Unnimaya.
Oh, sorry.
People from Kerala
address everyone as 'dear'
if they don't know the name.
I don't know about that.
Neither do I like it.
Okay..
Where is Jagan?
How do you know our Lord?
Lord?
Wow!
Jaggu!
Hey. - Hey.
Nayan.
How did you reach here? - Hey, fatso.
Leave me. That girl might think that I am kissing you.
How can she assume that?
I can move only if you leave me. - Okay.
What is this, Nayan?
This was out of the blue! What a surprise!
How did you find that I was here?
Easy, man. Easy.
Along with my Archaeology research
I am learning Astrology.
I have started to develop an ESP.
I also know a little about black magic.
That's how I found you.
Are you alone? - Yes. Alone. - Come.
Hey.
If you have any luggage inside your car, you better get it.
Else, the children might take it.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Help me get my luggage.
This is Unnimaya, Nayan.
We met already.
This is Nayan Thara. She's my friend
from Bangalore.
Tea? - Sure.
Can you prepare tea?
We don't have milk.
Milk.. - It's okay.
I will have black coffee, Unnimaya. - Come.
'I will have black coffee, Unnimaya.'
What a show-off!
Lord asked me to serve her.
Else, I would've ignored her.
Black coffee!
Where do people like this come from?
Who has come? I heard the sound of a car.
One black coffee, please.
What do you mean?
You can find ladies like this on the television.
Someone like that has come here.
What has happened to you?
I am mad!
I can feel the anger rising in me!
Let it be. Leave this topic.
"Great people.."
Now I feel refreshed!
You amaze me.
You left without informing anyone.
You are living here with all the comforts.
How is my palace?
Great.
Really great.
This is a place you can approach with your Archaeological expertise.
You might find something if you start digging.
Something like a piece of copper or a mud pot. - No.
I wish to approach this place in a romantic manner.
It's a beautiful place to live.
There must not be many people here.
Just a man and a woman.
Come out and dry your hair. Else, you'll get a cold.
Will you help me out?
Okay. Come.
I wanted to bathe..
It's okay.. I'll bathe on the other side.
It's fine. You may bathe here.
Come on, Unnimaya.
Hey! Nayan.
What is this?
Nayan!
I am not as good as I seem!
Just kidding! She's innocent.
I bought it in Bhubaneswar
from a maestro.
It has thrived for generations.
I remembered you when I saw it.
So, I bought it for the price he quoted.
Thanks.
I have started forgetting. I have to practise now.
But you don't have the time, Lord.
You are busy with organising festivals and renovating temples.
You are too busy.
It gives me happiness.
More than playing a Sitar.
You won't understand it.
Jagan.
I want to watch 'Thiruvathira'.
I haven't learned it.
If you want, I'll learn it tonight and perform for you.
Hey. I am serious.
There is no use in asking me.
Ask Unnimaya.
What?
Who is it?
Unnimaya.
Come here.
Come. Come here.
I was just passing by
and I tripped on something..
Jagan was just talking about you, Unnimaya.
I want to watch 'Thiruvathira', Unnimaya.
He wants me to ask you.
In the month of 'Mithunam'?
We dance in the month of 'Dhanu'. You can watch it then.
No.
I want to watch it today.
I want to light lamps
drape a sari
and watch pretty girls
dance gracefully. - Fine.
But you have to wait for the month of 'Dhanu'.
There is a time for everything.
Don't show off!
Arrange it somehow.
Isn't it her wish?
You need not make it grand.
Just a brief dance.
You can do it, Unnimaya.
"One after the other"
"he sent the arrows of love."
"Her heart was overwhelmed"
"with his love for her."
"The prince of love"
"stole a place in my heart."
"With his tricks and plays"
"he made me fall for him."
"The flowers bloomed in the garden of love."
"The birds sang a melodious tune."
"The flowers bloomed in the garden of love."
"The birds sang a melodious tune."
"The bees buzzed and hovered"
"around the flowers."
"The beautiful girls wearing tinkling bangles"
"danced around gracefully."
"The beautiful girls wearing tinkling bangles"
"danced around gracefully."
"The heart of the dancing girls"
"beamed with joy."
"The heart of the dancing girls"
"beamed with joy." - Enough! Stop it!
All of you can leave! That's enough!
Oh, no! It was so good.
Why did you stop?
It's getting late.
Their families will get anxious.
This is not their profession.
Didn't you have enough of it? - Oh, no.
I was thinking about the girls nowadays.
A girl drove by herself and came here
all the way from Bangalore.
Great! Such a smart girl.
Very brave indeed.
This is not bravery but recklessness.
She is just a spoilt girl.
She will be from a good family.
Else, she wouldn't be Lord Jagannathan's friend.
Where are you going?
I am going to visit Mullaperiyar Dam.
Do you want to come along?
I can feel jealousy in her words. Of course!
She is also a woman after all.
Oh, God..
I've kept water for you to drink. - Thanks, Unnimaya.
I'll change this bedspread. - Good.
Usually, I have trouble sleeping if I change my room.
But I can't let you sleep alone either.
No need. I can sleep alone.
I like to sleep alone. - No, I can't let you sleep alone.
You are new to this place.
I have no problem to sleep with you.
It's all right. I can sleep alone.
But.. How can you sleep alone?
Wow! It's raining!
Haven't you seen it before?
Don't mock me!
I think nature is welcoming me.
Haven't you heard of Rishyasringa's story?
He was welcomed by the rain.
I am the Rishyasringa here.
Nayan Thara Rishyasringa.
That story had a lady
who was a dancer.
The one who came to allure Rishyasringa.
Yes. Do you think I am one?
I didn't mean that.
Even if you say so, I've no problem.
You just need to permit me to take away Rishyasringa.
What happened?
What's going on here?
Are you chit-chatting late in the night.
Nothing. Just casual talk.
Unnimaya is talking nonsense.
Jagannathan, don't sleep.
I'll come to your room.
I want to talk to you.
Okay. You're welcome.
Hey, wait!
You might get scared if you sleep alone.
The ghost of a feudal lord who committed suicide
is roaming around here.
Many have seen it.
I am speaking the truth. - Is it?
Yes. - Actually, I like to be around ghosts.
Especially royal ghosts.
You can leave, Unnimaya.
I'll share my experience tomorrow.
You can leave for now.
Come on. Why this unusual starting trouble?
Tell me. - I don't know how to start.
Okay. You know my father, right?
Yes.
My father is my biggest gift.
Nobody will get such a liberal, generous and a loving father.
Till today
my father has never tried to control me.
He has given me complete freedom.
He gave me freedom to do things as I wish.
Recently, he asked me a serious matter.
My marriage. My father is getting old.
I am also getting old.
He gave me the freedom to select
my life partner.
But he wants me to take a quick decision.
That was the first time he asked me to do something for him.
Actually, he is right.
It is high time that I get settled.
But who? That's the question.
I've not fallen in love.
Nobody has proposed me.
When I thought about
my male friends, you were
the one who struck my mind.
What do you think?
Did you now understand
the reason for my starting trouble?
I am really in awe of your character
and your frank behaviour.
I.. I really like it.
My father is very rich.
I am the only heir to that.
Like you, even I'm not interested in it.
We can take the amount we need
and give the rest to someone needy.
Let's give it to Unnimaya.
And.. Since your favourite place is Paris
let's settle there.
Anywhere.
Anywhere in this world.
I'm not the one who used to love Paris, Vienna and Europe.
Now, my favourite place is Kanimangalam.
This palace.
Your likes are nothing but mine.
Nayan, you are one my sensible friends.
You can understand me.
Something dragged me to this village
and this palace.
Some things that I never wish
to disclose to anyone.
In the beginning, it was just a tour.
Then I felt like staying here for a few days.
Now, I've commitments that are making me stay back longer.
When I am done with these commitments
I might leave this place.
But that day, I will have a girl along with me.
I am loving her without her knowledge, Nayan.
I love her.
It's a feeling that I've never had before.
I am serious about it.
I am in love, Nayan.
Is it Unnimaya?
Yes.
I love her more than anything else in this world.
It is not just love.
It is also a decision to protect
a girl who is all alone.
Congrats, Jagan.

Are you fine, dear?
I would have taken you as mine
if it wasn't for the bitter emotions of these men.
I'm glad that I could meet you.
My brother won't spare me if he finds out.
What do you want, dear? You can tell me.
Nothing.
I.. I wanted to ask..
I always wanted to ask you something when I met you.
My mother.. Do you know who she is?
No, I don't.
You may take me as your mother.
You are my child.
I am happy.
You showed the benevolence to bring her to me.
She..
She has no one.
I know.
And neither do I.
I won't let her go.
Lord Krishna! That's all I want to hear.
I shall leave then.
I pray for you every day.
Your father may ignore me
but I hope he comes back to see you.
Let's hope that he is still alive.
Even the information that he is still alive would make me happy.
See you, dear.
You seem quite familiar.
I think I have seen you before.
Chances are slight. I am new to this town.
I didn't mention that I had seen you here before.
I may be old, but my mind is still sharp.
And so is my memory.
Well, we may mistake one for another.
'It's all a delusion. The world isn't real.'
I could see a 'Chakravyuh' of obstacles.
Abhimanyu had got the better of the 'Chakravyuh.'
But he lost his life. That's in the Mahabharata.
I'm not saying that the same would happen here.
This isn't an impossible task if someone is ready to lead the way.
We have our hopes on him.
If he is there to lead us, we'll be there for him no matter what.
Are you talking about him?
The prophecy tells that a Brahmin will be the leader.
There is still time for such a man to come.
Astrology is science.
A divine science.
It's all about calculations.
Let's leave that for now.
Let's get to the facts.
Kolapulli Appan must give you the sacred ornaments.
Do you think he will?
We can try. - That's your confidence.
Good. I won't stand against it.
There are several venerations and rituals as a solution to this.
I shall write them down for you. You must perform them properly.
A Brahmin had lost his life.
We must perform the rituals for his soul.
Poovalli..
Yes.
Though it was a suicide, in a way, he was killed.
Mr. Brahmadathan lost his life as a result of
the rivalry between Appan and Dathan. His soul
is still present in this village.
He must attain salvation..
He must rest in peace.
We shall perform..
We shall perform all the rites.
Chenkalam Madhavan.
Madhavan.
My Lord. - I see that you have come.
That's enough.
I know what to do now.
I hope you came to know.. - Yes, I did.
He thrashed my men right here.
Excellent martial artists like you learned your art here.
I asked you to come as the idiots with me aren't up to the task.
I came here to see what he is all about.
Don't delay it then. Beat him to a pulp.
He shouldn't stay here anymore.
Beat him up so that he'd flee from here.
I will kill him if you ask me to!
If one is arrogant to mock the men of Kolapulli Manor
I am destined to thrash him!
Go.
Brave men like you are supposed to teach him a lesson.
Shall I join you in the game?
He is kidding.
This is a game for kids.
Okay. If we are playing against each other
it'd be a game between grown-ups, right?
Yes. Do you want to do it right here?
No.
It's no fun to beat you up in front of these women and children.
That's not my way.
Where should the venue be according to your way?
I will be there.
I want you in the market where everyone can see us.
What the hell are you going to do if I do come?
Chenkalam Madhavan.
I've heard about you. I figured you would come.
Go on. Arrange an audience.
I will be there.
I, Jagannathan, will stick to my word. I will be there.
Madhavan!
Just kidding.
Chenkalam Madhavan.
Take your antics elsewhere or get ready to die.
What is it? What is the problem?
Just a rehearsal for what is to come.
I'll invite you for the finale. Do come. - My Lord.
What do you mean by 'What is to come'? - Just kidding.
What's your problem?
Is it about the festival?
Aren't there enough festivals in this small place already?
Is one more really necessary?
Go ahead if that's so important.
Do you need to drag the government officers into that?
Can't you solve it yourself? - We know that and we can, sir.
We can solve it if we want to.
But there will be some violence.
Also, there will be one or two casualties.
Can you promise me that these government officers
won't come at that time and argue about the law?
I know you. Delhi, right?
Yes. B-But I didn't..
You forgot.
Kongat Eeswaran Unni from JNU.
Oh. I-I am sorry, sir. - Forget that.
What are you doing here? - I am with them.
I am the one who bought the Kanimangalam Manor.
What about the art journal in Delhi? - I left all that.
Can you help us?
As far as I know
the police department has more power here
than the district collector.
The Rural SP Ashok Kumar is a good guy.
I will introduce you. You will like him.
There is a reason behind us refusing
to hand over the jewellery.
I have heard about the fight between the both of you.
Your face.. Didn't that happen because of that? - Yes.
That fight wasn't for nothing. We didn't do that for nothing.
But I have heard another side of this story. - What?
That you stole the jewellery of the Goddess.
And that it was to humiliate your brother-in-law, Lord Dathan.
Anyone can make up stories.
It only matters if there is any truth in it.
Can I say something which has some truth in it? - Sure.
Karipalli Padmanabhan.
Padmanabhan was a mahout
who was killed by your elephant, Shankarankutty. - Yes.
It's been three years.
What if Shankarankutty, the elephant, is innocent of that crime
and the tusk with which Padmanabhan was stabbed
was from one of your dead elephants?
These aren't my words.
If it's proven in the court with witnesses and evidence
what will you say about it, Mr. Appan?
It's a lie! It's a big lie! What are you saying?
I haven't started to go after what you tried to bury.
I can stop myself from doing so if you compromise on the festival.
The collector will convene a meeting.
Please cooperate with it, and do what you can.
Mr. Appan showed his true colours.
He didn't come to the meeting. He has sent a messenger.
'Unable to attend because he is sick.'
I will get my hands on him.
Beggars can't be choosers. I will go to him.
To Kolapulli Appan. - Thank you.
You don't need to thank me.
I might as well have become one of you.
I won't go easy on them. Come, Ashok.
What about us? - We will be in the gallery.
Start the car. Come on.
Do you feel resentment towards me, Collector?
I am very weak. That's why.. - No.
That's all right, my Lord.
So let's get to the matter.
Do we need to explain anything? - Not at all.
But please don't get me wrong, sir. That can't happen.
We have decided not to hand over the jewellery to Kanimangalam.
You should reconsider that decision, my Lord.
The decision is not just mine.
A trust holds the ownership of all the properties and the temple.
This decision was made unanimously by the members of the trust.
Please don't turn us down. - What can I do?
If at least a single person in the trust is on your side
I will definitely hand over the jewellery.
Who are the members of the trust?
Appan, Appan's sister, Subhadra, and I.
Come, Ashok. Let's go. See you, my Lord.
I was about to suggest that. I have to lie down as I am tired.
I have hired a lawyer for Padmanabhan's murder case.
He is from the supreme court.
You might've heard of him. Sukhdev Singh.
He charges Rs. 1 lakh for a sitting.
A moment, please.
I have something to say. - What do you want, Subhadra?
Forgive me, Brother.
I know that it isn't a convention
for the women in our family to express their opinions.
But I must break it now.
Collector. Let's hear what the Lady has to say.
Tell us.
I am ready
to hand over the jewellery to the people of Kanimangalam.
Subhadra! - Hey! Quiet.
Don't try to scare her. - Your decision doesn't matter.
That's my decision. That's all I have to say.
Mr. Appan, you have to keep your word.
You said that if one person in the trust agrees
you will hand over the jewellery. Don't make excuses now.
I have nothing to gain by disobeying you, Brother.
That festival should happen. That's all I want.
Lord! Don't make any more excuses.
You have to promise. - Didn't you hear what the Lady said?
Tell us, my Lord. - I will never break my promise.
I always make promises that can be kept. And I will keep it.
Bappu. How can I ever repay this debt?
Some debts are not to be reckoned, sir.
Please don't consider me as a stranger.
You have refused to take millions that were offered to you.
Let's not keep accounts between us.
Let's make it happen.
Ezhuthachan. - Yes.
You may take it. Let's renovate the temple first.
Time is running out.

Visit Keezhpayyur Manor.
Meet the high priest
and make arrangements to send someone for the veneration.
We will send someone. - There is a ritual to invite them.
Someone important must do the deed.
Do you have any difficulty to do so? - No.
I shall. There's no difficulty. - Please don't delay it.
Stop him.
We are through.
Please leave me alone. - No.
Don't even think of catching me. Please give way.
Let's play. - What's happening here?
Let me go. - Are you crazy?
I won't spare those morons!
Kids these days are naughty.
We aren't friends anymore! I can't stand those guys.
Get out of my face.
They took me to the pond
saying that they'd show me some thing. They pulled my dhoti away.
One brat got his hands on my loin cloth.
Did they take me for an idiot?
Sorry, I didn't recognise any of you.
Are you here to shoot movies? - No.
We are here to meet the high priest.
We are from Kanimangalam.
Really? I have a reason to ask.
Film crews frequent this place. What can be done?
The high priest, my father, is very adamant
that he won't entertain such requests. But I like movies.
It's nice to see celebrities up close. - Oh, yes.
Please come.. - Sure.
What can be done?
This guy seems to be off his nut.
We are well informed about Kanimangalam.
We came to know that you'd be conducting the festival this year.
But let's be frank.
Don't expect us to perform the rites. - Why is that?
The temple and the land have been cursed.
We can't risk sending our disciples.
That'd bring us bad luck.
Please don't say that, Priest.
We don't have many days, and we need someone from this family.
I understand.
You didn't seek my blessings before announcing the festival.
The priest from Ayinikad had suggested these solutions.
We are fulfilling it one by one.
In that case, you should get him to conduct the ritual.
We can't risk changing the customs.
And you shall not. We can't send anyone from here.
It's getting late. I need to shower.
You may leave. - Please reconsider.
We shall come back.. - No. There's nothing to reconsider.
What was Kolapulli Appan's offer?
I have nothing to say. You may leave.
Your health and age are definitely an issue.
Ezhuthachan, it's time to go.
Is everything okay? - Wait! - No, Bappu. Not okay.
I'm coming. Stop.
What can be done! That's my father's nature.
You are quite a hero. I must admit.
Kolapulli Appan was here yesterday. Something happened backstage.
Can you lend me a cigarette? - Why not?
Give him one, Bappu. - Give me one.
Maybe, I shouldn't. I'll run into trouble if someone finds out.
I will smoke from the toilet.
Don't you know how to perform these holy rites?
Of course, I know it.
I am really good at it.
But none of it proved to be useful.
At the end of the day, I will be criticised.
There are people who say that I am mentally challenged.
A bunch of liars they are. - Bappu, start the car. - Okay.
Are you leaving? - Yes. And you're coming too.
All I need is a priest from your family. - What are you doing?
Where are you taking me? - Bappu, start the car.
Are you going to kill me?
Oh, God! Let go of me..
What's going on here?
Is there no limit to your recklessness?
You can't have your way.
This is no metropolitan underbelly for you to hold someone captive.
I, SI Bharathan, must die for that to happen here.
Where is the Brahmin boy?
Where is he? - Who is there?
What do you mean? - That wasn't to you.
Who is there? - Who is there?
Come here! - Yes, my Lord?
I just want to see you.
Is this the Brahmin boy?
Please take him outside and give him what he needs.
Please come, sir.
Did you take me for a fool?
I'm not here to enjoy the hospitality.
I want him right now.
Or else, I won't consider who you are!
I'll beat you to a pulp. Mark my words.
What do you want, SI Bharathan?
You've been asking around for a Brahmin boy.
He isn't here. - Then where is he!
Why don't you enquire elsewhere? - Rascal, I'll beat..
Get up.
Get up!
- I shall.
But attend the call first. - What?
That's for you. - Who would call me here?
Would it be my brother-in-law from Kuwait?
Hello? - Is it Bharathan?
Seriously! That's your father!
Address me as SI Bharathan, you..
Sir.
Yes, sir..
Yes, sir. Okay.
Shall we go? - No, you need not come.
I'll go. - Who was that, SI Bharathan?
Mr. Ashok, the rural SP.
Come on, handcuff me. - Forgive me, sir.
Shall I leave? - No, you shouldn't.
Please arrest me. I abducted the man you're looking for!
Arrest me. Govindankutty, tell him.
Arrest him. - Don't say so. - I took him.
I wouldn't arrest an innocent man like you.
Didn't I tell you once? I wouldn't! - SI Bharathan.
Arrest me! - Let go of me! - I abducted him!
Start the car! - SI Bharathan!
We might lose our jobs! - Arrest me!
Start the car! - SI Bharathan!
Start the car! - I abducted him! - Yeah, right!
SI Bharathan!
We have guests, my Lord.
They ended up right in front of me asking for directions.
This was unexpected. - That's the thrill.
I denied James's request to inform Bappu.
You have completely changed. Come here.
You look like a King. - Come, we'll talk.
Oh, I am sorry.
Meet Shelly, my partner. - Hello.
This is Sasi Menon. - Hello. - Hi.
I hope you know Jairam. - We had met once.
At the stud farm? - Yes..
Nambeesan, get their luggage upstairs.
Sure. - Let's go.
Need some help here. - Shall we leave?
Okay. - We'll bring the music troupe.
Send someone to the market. Mahouts will be visiting. - Sure.
Let's go.
You are an enigma to me, Jagan.
I thought you were enjoying your time here.
I brought my friends along to enjoy.
You wouldn't understand the peace I am experiencing here.
You must experience it. I thank you for everything.
Leave that. I will be here with you
till the festivals are done. What was his name again?
Kolapulli? We'll put an end to his arrogance.
That's the statue of the Nagas.
Oh, I am sorry.
Unnimaya!
Who was that?
I can't believe him! He is such a perv.
What is it? - Didn't you notice a woman go by?
She was taking a shower.
Nothing exposed. However, it was good to watch.
I showed it to them. Drat!
Such greedy men they are!
He dropped something, and she ran away.
Who is that, Jagan?
Don't be lazy, Govindankutty.
We need to go to her house today. You should come with us.
We'll teach you a lesson if you don't come. Give me that.
The Lord shouldn't find out. He'll break my jaw.
He won't do anything. Isn't that right, Nandan?
Calm down. We'll find a way. Right?
Pardon me. I came to see the Lord.
Who are you?
My daughter and I live in the outhouse.
Our old man.
Come here.. - Oh, no! I need to go.
Come with me. - Oh, no! Don't..
Hey! - What are you doing? - You are our old man.
Come here. - It's just coffee.
What are you doing? - You are our old man.
Sit. - I don't drink this. Oh, God!
Sit down, I say!
You better do as I say. Now, take a drink.
Sit down.. - Don't compel me.
I don't drink. That is why. - Sir, he doesn't drink.
I didn't ask you. Drink this. - Oh, no.. I'm a poor man.
Drink! - Let me go. - Shelly, let him go.
He is just playing coy.
Take a drink. - This scotch costs Rs. 4,000.
He won't die if he takes a drink. Drink this! Drink it!
I'll make you drink this.
No!
Jagan!
How dare you do this to him! - Jagan!
Listen to me!
I'm sorry, Mr. Krishnavarma.
I apologise on behalf of the ones who did this to you.
No! You should never bow down before me.
This old man does not deserve that.
You wouldn't understand anything.
You wouldn't understand the value of that great man's tears.
Money. All you care about is an endless supply of money.
The pleasures that come with it.
The arrogance that started when you tipped
the midwife who helped your mother give birth.
You might even pay your mothers for carrying you in their wombs.
There will come a time in life when money becomes worthless.
Only then will realisation strike you.
You.. - No!
Govindankutty will take you to Palakkad.
All three of you can return from there.
We know when to go back. Who are you?
You want to know who I am. Don't you, son of a bitch?
I'll beat you to a pulp.. - Mister, what're you doing?
We are Nandan's friends. - That is the only reason
that I'm letting you go. Get in the vehicle!
We need to see Nandan. We won't listen to you..
You are going to see no one.
You better leave.
Or else, you'll be leaving in coffins. Go!
Govindankutty! - Get in the vehicle!
I'll gut you like a fish. Get in the vehicle!
Don't mess with him! Get in the vehicle!
What are you staring at, baldy?
Where are they? - I'll tell you.
I asked you where they were. - They left.
What do you mean? - I sent them away.
They can't be here, Nandan. - How can you send them away?
They are my guests. My close friends.
They are hoodlums. If they stay here anymore
and do something worse, I'll lose my temper.
You are insulting me. - Look, Nandan, this is a village.
A lot of fragile people live here.
It's a sin to hurt them. I don't like it.
I won't allow it. - Really? - Yes.
Newfound power seems to be blinding you.
My friends are as important to me as the people here are to you.
Where are they? I should bring them back. - No.
No! It's my decision to make. Why are you so annoyed?
They joked around with that girl. Is that it?
Why are you being so possessive? Who is she to you?
Isn't she just another girl for you? - Stop it, Nandan!
Don't make me lose my temper.
I have a lot on my plate right now. - Hell! I don't care!
Tell me where they went. - Your close friends are gone.
They won't return even if you call them.
I told them I'd break their legs.
They must be in some hotel in Palakkad. Go, get them if you want.
Nandan..
Pour some more. That's enough..
It's really hot. I haven't eaten anything in days.
I'm not worried anymore. Everything is clear now.
I'll do the holy rituals. - Forgive us, my Lord.
I think we were a bit rude..
Don't doubt it. You were kind of rude.
Did you think that I'm crazy? - No, never.
Then you must be soft in the head.
Only the clever would realise that. But that is really not the case.
Come here. - What are you doing?
What are you doing? Step away.
Who are you people? What are you doing? - Get lost!
I don't understand. Where are you taking him?
Kidnapping me seems to be everyone's favourite pastime!
Let me go. - Nambeesan, we lost him.
The festival is tomorrow, Pillai. - What do I tell the Lord now?
My God! - Pillai!
Tomorrow. Tomorrow is the festival.
We never expected such a setback.
Is there any point in going.. - What are you on about?
Is there anyone left in Kaloor Manor?
I remember that Mr. Brahmadathan had a son.
Who knows where he is now or if he is even alive?
He is not dead.
A false accusation.
When he was accused of stealing the jewellery of the Goddess
Mr. Brahmadathan banged his head
on the altar till he bled to death. But he had a son.
He became an orphan when his mother met her death soon after.
I didn't come back to settle the score or to kill my enemies.
It was a casual visit to refresh my childhood memories
about this manor and the temple. That was my only aim.
I wanted to go back without letting anyone know about it.
Unni? Unni!
I lived as a true Brahmin until the age of 18.
I haven't forgotten the chants my father had taught me.
I broke the sacred thread that I wore on my 'Upanayana'
when it became a hurdle for my job at a tea shop in Daryaganj.
I threw the thread into River Yamuna with a heavy heart.
If the customs and practices allow.. - That will do.
Brahmadathan's son deserves to perform the rites.
My first impression about you wasn't wrong.
I knew your face even though I'd never seen you before.
You can wear the sacred thread tomorrow. One more time.
Not across your body, but around your mind.
To hell with.. - Nandan!
Nandan, what are you doing? - That's enough!
Stop everything. Let's split up.
Friendship is my biggest weakness.
But I don't want a friend who pushes me around.
You can go! - Nandan, listen to what..
You can leave. You want my money.
You can buy this palace and play the Lord. I don't mind.
But.. - Don't shout nonsense.
Your money paid for this. It is yours. I don't need anything.
My commitment will end after tonight.
I've been carrying this pain in my heart for long.
Tonight, my father's soul will rest in peace.
Shut your.. You should leave this moment!
I met my friends.
They said enough. You are the reason.
Your pride! - They made a mistake.
Why are you ignoring it? - Who are you to punish them?
They are my friends. - So who am I?
Nandan, you have always quarrelled with me for such morons!
I don't want to hear anything! - All I want is a day! - No!
Don't make me throw you out!
You'll lose your face in front of everyone!
It is your dirty inferior complex that is talking!
I am not doing this for the glory!
The situations made me do it.
I won't like it if your friends misbehave with that girl.
For I intend to marry her.
Try to understand. They have been anticipating this day for 16 years.
This festival! I must be here for it to happen.
Just this night, Nandan. I'll leave tomorrow night. Please! - Get out!
If you have a thick skull.. - Leave me!
You're too drunk! Come here!
Stay here for the day!
I'll return before I leave for ever.
Stay there.
Jagan!
Nambeesan, there is no one at the riverside.
Is Lord Appan up to something?
Won't the police come, Mangalam? - Who knows!
Madhavan, police! - They will just leave, my Lord!
The huts in Chalikkara Colony would be on fire now.
The police will leave once they get wind of it.
The son of Kaloor Brahmadathan Namboothiri.
So you were not just another face.
Yes, sir.
Sir, message.
I will try, sir. Okay.
Mr. Jagan, there is a fire in Chalikkara.
A fire broke out in Chalikkara Colony. We're leaving.
I think you'll be fine from now on. Let me go.
Don't look back. You must not mind these obstacles. Come.
Don't stop. Continue.
Don't look back. You mustn't be violent while holding the sword.
Come.
Come here.
Come on.
Walk!
My Lord!
Give it here! I'll take it from here.
Go and beat the living daylights out of them!
My Lord!
Kaloor Brahmadathan Namboothiri's son didn't come here
to settle the score or to kill my enemies.
If that were the case, I'd have taken your head
along with the holy jewellery.
I'm letting you go to enjoy the aftermaths of your heinous acts.
Go!
Nandan.
Nandan, I.. - Don't you dare touch me.
You humiliated me. Cheated me.
You paid me back for my generosity.
Let go of me! - Hey! What I did was wrong.
You were not ready to listen to me or understand my problems.
I had to do it. Forgive me.
Come out and see.
What for? I don't.. - You must! Come!
My Lord.. Thank you..
My Lord.. - My Lord..
See, Nandan? Do you know how happy they are?
You share its credit. - I don't want to hear anything.
My Lord! The people of Kanimangalam are here to bow at your feet!
The Goddess is pleased. So are we!
We can't thank you enough, my Lord! - Don't.
It is not me whom you should thank.
I.. I'm just a pointer.
A mere instrument. Just an agent.
He is your Lord.
It is he who bought the manor.
It was his good heart and kindness
that made everything possible.
Don't give me anything that I don't deserve.
With your permission, I am leaving.
I am taking a girl along with me.
An orphan. I'm also taking an old man with me.
Bless me.
My Lord..
Sir! Please ask him not to go, sir!
Please ask him to stay! - Sir, with his kind heart
he is a millionaire in our eyes.
Kanimangalam needs him. Tell him, sir!
My Lord!
I will lie here.
You will have to go through me!
Please don't go, my Lord!
No, Govindankutty. I must go.
I must.
Here. The car is outside.
In it is a case full of cash. Take it. - No, Bappu.
I have borrowed more than enough.
No more debts, not anymore.
Jagan! Jagan, wait!
Wait, Jagan!
My Lord!
You are not leaving. You can't leave them behind.
You shouldn't, Jagan. Forgive me.
Don't you know me? I was just drunk..
I must be the one to leave.
You must be here.
As their Lord.
Don't forget.
I'll come back when I feel like seeing you.
If I couldn't.. - I'll come to you.
When you face new challenges
I'll be there for you.
Tell me. Where do you want your honeymoon to be?
Paris? Amsterdam? Greece?
More beautiful than them all is Kanimangalam.
Thank you for that gift.
A lot of thanks.
