Isn't this the house? - Yes.
Shall I unload the luggage, sir?
Wait. Let me check out the place. - Okay.
Who is that?
Oh, you must have been electrocuted!
The switch is damaged.
If so, why hasn't it been replaced?
It hasn't been replaced intentionally.
Why? - Just like that.
If you want to meet the Tahsildar, go to the office.
I am the new Tahsildar.
I am Ramakrishnan.
Hasn't Ms. Priyadarshini vacated this place?
I am here with my luggage.
Shall I unload the luggage?
I will tell you. - Okay.
Who has come to evict me?
I am still the Tahsildar here.
Ms. Priyadarshini? - Yes.
S. Priyadarshini.
I didn't know that you were young, ma'am.
You don't need to be concerned about that.
I haven't decided to handover the charge.
Also, I won't leave this house.
I have been posted here, ma'am.
Two officers can't share a post.
You have been transferred, and I have been posted in your place.
You need not be bothered about my transfer.
But I am bothered about my posting.
I know that the officers in the board
are interested in transferring me
than to post you here.
When they understood that I wouldn't budge to them..
I am not interested in talking to you.
Shall I unload the luggage?
You need not consider that we are officers
working in the same department. Am I not a human?
How can you shut the door on my face
when I haven't done talking?
There exists a Revenue Board, a District Collector
a Minister of the state and other authorities.
Are you trying to threaten me?
Thresiamma!
I am here with my luggage.
I will give you 30 minutes. If you don't vacate the house..
Shut the window!
Move..
I won't let you shut the window.
It's better that you vacate the house.
Is it?
Move..
Stay there!
Hey, woman!
Remember that the consequences
will be worse if you irritate me further..
'Taluk Office.'
Good morning. - Good morning, ma'am.
Good morning. - Has Thankappan Pilla arrived? - He'll be here.
Has he not yet arrived?
Tell him to meet me once he is here.
Okay.
Shall I unload the luggage, sir?
Is the Tahsildar here?
What is the matter?
Well, I was the Deputy Tahsildar in Kannapuram.
I got transferred here as the Tahsildar.
Please sit, sir.
No, thanks. Let me meet the Tahsildar.
Is she here? - Yes, sir.
That is her room.
I came here to apologise to you.
I should not have lost my temper.
Particularly to a woman.
You had to break a glass because of me.
I'll buy you a new one.
Where are you from?
I am from India.
Oh, you are very funny, ma'am.
I did not expect this.
Get out!
I am on duty.
I don't let anyone interrupt.
Please be kind, ma'am.
Two of my sisters joined in a college here.
My mom has packed everything and is waiting for me.
This is my first posting
after getting promoted to the post of Tahsildar.
If you don't be kind and handover the charge, I will..
Don't you have common sense?
Can't you understand?
Get out! - Ma'am, I..
Hey, Kurup! Narayanan!
He is not letting me work.
Ma'am, I.. - Get lost, I say!
Shall I unload the luggage, sir?
Take it out and burn it!
Weren't you appointed here, sir?
Why are you letting her boss around?
You should inform the Collector, sir.
I thought about doing that. But if there's a fight
there should be a compromise.
So if they transfer me to some other place
then all my plans will be ruined.
Then you should go to the court. - That would be worse.
What if it takes too long to get a verdict?
I got admission for my sisters in a college here.
You can't easily defeat this monster, sir.
She thinks that subordinates are her servants.
Forget about the subordinates.
Even if the Collector or the ministers give an order
she will only act the way she wants to.
There was revenue recovery case last week.
A lot of people told her to give her an extension.
But she didn't obey anyone. If you are ready to fight
we are all with you. - Okay.
Where is she from?
We have never got a chance to talk to her.
No matter what happens, I want to take charge here.
I need a place to stay till everything get settled.
We will find a place for you.
But you shouldn't give up on
making her leave.
Oh, Lord Jesus!
'Tahsildar'.
How many times do I have to tell you the same thing?
I shall repeat!
Wait at the gate with the groceries when I return from the office.
Do you understand? - I left early from my home, ma'am.
The grocery store was crowded.
8:30 a.m. tomorrow.
Should I unload the luggage, sir? - Get them down!
Are you not coming in? - No, sir.
That monster shouldn't find out
that we got you this house.
Then we are leaving. See you.
Okay. - We will try to come at night. - Okay.
I am going home in this car. Didn't I give you my number?
Call me if you want anything.
There is only one thing I want.
To take charge as soon as I can.
I was lucky to get this house.
Ma'am, if you ever decide to move
it's easy for me to shift all my luggage from here.
Yes. That's true.
But you will only be moving here after I am dead.
Slow down!
Watch out! Where are you going?
Stop the car!
Oh, God!
Don't kill us!
Move! I will drive!
Oh, God!
I am all right! I am all right!
Were you all scared? - Where were you looking at?
I was looking straight!
That's why I braked when you were going to hit me.
Move your car! - Don't order me.
ask politely. - Move the car. - I will drive.
Mr. Sagar. Don't do that anymore.
I was scared for my life for the past hour.
Death is a clown without any clue of the surroundings.
He won't come when you want him to.
He won't come when you are expecting him.
When a soldier comes for leave from an active war zone
and gets home, a coconut from his own land kills him.
Understand? - Move the car!
I will never go back from my stand.
What are you blocking the road and talking about?
Move the car! - I don't fear the police!
Sorry, sir. - He is the famous novelist Sagar Kottappuram.
Sir, he is a bit drunk.
I said, move the car! - I will drive.
What is this? Come on. - Get in, sir.
I will drive. - Get in, sir.
I will..
Move! Excuse me, officer.
Do you know where the Tahsildar's house is?
Won't you tell me? Are you mad?
All the police officers are like this.
They easily get mad. Go on!
Hey, driver.
Ask someone where the Tahsildar's house is.
We will ask it all the way.
Stop!
Doesn't that house look like a Tahsildar's house?
A house this big? - Could be. Let's check.
Is this the Tahsildar's house, Gardener?
Who told you to open the gate?
I asked you whether it is the Tahsildar's house or not?
Are you blind? Don't you see Advocate Gopinathan on the gate?
Everything we read might not be true.
For example, the novels that I wrote.
You might have read it. 'Thusharabindukkal.' - Get lost!
Do you think that's true? No.
It's my imagination.. - What is this?
You don't know how great you are.
You are a very famous novelist in Kerala.
You can easily influence people.
Don't you know that I am one of your followers?
If a newspaper prints that you were drunk and a nuisance
do you know who it affects? - That newspaper.
All the newspapers and magazines are dying to get my novels.
They won't print anything against me.
Then get in the car. - Then I will drive.
Get in the car, sir. - I will drive.
I will..
How long are you going to stay with the Tahsildar, sir?
I need to start a series for 30 weeks.
The story is about a Government officer.
It's about the corruption in a Government office
love and pregnancy. Topics include all that.
So how does a Government office work?
The daily routine.
Other details.
A discussion with Ramakrishnan..
I don't know how long it will take.
I am the one who got Ramakrishnan this transfer.
He is a good guy. But there is a problem.
He won't drink more than three pegs. - Okay.
We used to play cards at Ramavarma club.
Do you play cards? - Yes.
I only play for money.
All your heroes are gentlemen.
But if your followers find out
that their creator is a person like this.. - I don't care!
What? - All my followers including you, are idiots.
What is in my novels?
A rich heroine.
A poor hero.
The villain is the heroine's father.
I change the story a little in the next one.
The hero is rich in the new one.
The heroine is poor. The father is the same.
I will change the location in the next one.
Instead of the rubber estate, there will be a factory.
Instead of the fisherman, there will be a labourer.
In every novel, there will be a rape
a stunt and some sex scenes.
Hey, driver! Ask someone where the Tahsildar's house is.
We will ask it on the way.
Hey, do you know something?
In the Poonkilli magazine
the novelist CV Rajamma who writes 'Mandara Pushpangal'
is me. - What? - Yes.
Do you know who is Mathew Palliparambil
who writes all novels in a Christian backdrop?
That's also me.
Like that, I will keep writing in many names.
The followers are all idiots.
I get more than 200 love letters
from the followers of CV Rajamma
who is my pseudonym.
Hey, do you have any clue where you are going?
Hey, driver. Ask someone where the Tahsildar's house is.
We will ask it on the way.
We will ask it..
Yes. This is the house. - Whose house?
Whose house are you looking for?
Don't answer a question with another question.
I asked you whose house this is?
We have arrived at the Tahsildar's house, sir.
Tahsildar's house! That's Tahsildar.
Hey.
Is there anything left in the bottle?
Didn't you have enough, sir? - Is there anything left?
Tahsildar!
Hey, Tahsildar!
Sir. - Get out.
You don't know how close the Tahsildar and I are.
So what should I do now, sir?
You can do what you used to do.
Goodnight and pay this cash to that driver.
Tahsildar! Ramakrishnan!
Ramakrishnan..
Hey, Ramakrishnan!
Idiot! Fool!
Bloody Tahsildar!
You don't even know to repair a switch!
How will you rule this entire Taluk? Rascal!
All the alcohol I drank has gone down the drain!
Ramakrishnan! Damn!
Oh! He has got a fridge. Then he must have soda as well.
How will I get into this house?
He doesn't even have a soda here!
Ramakrishnan!
Oh! He is living in luxury!
Shucks! Damn!
Whose sari is this?
Has he already married?
Maybe his mother and sisters are here.
But where the hell is everyone?
I don't see any of his clothes here.
Hey! Nudity!
Be here at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow. - Okay.
Who are you? - Thief!
Oh, no! Where am I?
Thresiamma! There's a thief here!
Where? - In my room.
Hey.. Stop there. Stop there!
I will.. - I am Ramakrishnan's.. Don't beat me!
No! Don't hit me!
I will beat you up! - Hey!
I am Tahsildar's.. Don't beat me!
I will.. - I am Sagar, a novelist..
Oh, no! - Close the door.. - No, don't close! - Come on..
No.. - Move away! - I'm a novelist..
Listen to me! - Shut the door!
Open the door. I am not a thief.
I am a novelist.
Open the door. Oh, God!
Open the door! I am a novelist!
Hello! Open the door.
Open the door!
I'm not a thief. - Come on.
I'm a famous novelist. - Come out!
I'm a famous novelist. - Come fast. - Sagar!
I'm a famous novelist. - Hey, get into the jeep.
I'm a famous novelist and not a thief. - Come on! - I'm innocent.
I am a famous..
No! - Get in!
Sagar! - Sir, I'm not a thief.
I'm not a thief, sir!
Did you arrest a man and bring him here? - Yes.
Ma'am, he didn't enter your house to steal.
It was just a mistake.
He is a famous novelist. Yes..
I will handle this issue. Sure.
Okay.. I will take care of this.
Sagar. - Where the hell were you?
Aren't you the Tahsildar here? - What happened?
What more is there to happen? The police beat me up.
Thank God this SI was a fan of my novels.
Haven't you still taken charge as the Tahsildar?
That's a big story.
What happened in that house? - Idiot!
I mistook that house as yours and got in from the back door
I got drunk, wore this nightie
and fell asleep on her bed. I'm sorry.
Oh, God! - It was a mistake. - Mr. Sagar!
Mr. Sagar, Tahsildar is very adamant.
She wants to file a case.
Didn't you tell that I'm a friend of the new Tahsildar?
That worsened the situation.
She says that you broke into the house purposefully.
Did she call him rascal? - Of course.
Hey, is this how a Tahsildar behaves with her colleague?
That woman is adamant about not letting me take charge.
So, were you the..
Yes, I am that rascal.
Sorry, sir. Please sit down.
I've still not taken charge as the Tahsildar. So, I don't want to sit.
What about Sagar's case?
I'm thinking the same.
I've read all your novels with utmost interest.
I remember every scene in your novel
'The girl who moves farther as I move closer'.
Which are your new novels?
There are many more novels.. - What about the case?
I am in a dilemma now.
She is a crazy woman who creates a fuss for little things.
Anyway, I'm not filing a case.
Let me speak to her once again. - Okay.
Hey, Francis! - Yes, sir?
Where do you want to go? - He.. - I've a rented house. - Yes.
Drop them home in our jeep. - Okay, sir.
Thank you, inspector. Thanks a lot.
Oh! I feel like hearing
one of your dialogues in your novel.
'Thank you, Princey! Thanks a lot.'
I was very lucky to have met you.
Let's meet again and again.
'Manchadi'
Hey, why don't you just change that nightie?
I've nothing else to wear!
Moreover, I haven't worn anything inside. - Shucks!
Wear this Dhoti.
This kurta would be large for you. - I like oversized clothes.
Damn!
Is this what you call oversized?
But when I wore, it was quite big.
I am quite huge unlike you.
My dear ladies and gentleman.
I want to just say that.. I'll be right back.
Sagar. - Yes? - Where are you going?
To meet her. - Who? - Your neighbour.
No, Sagar.
In spite of knowing that it was a mistake, I need to know
why she wanted to file a case against me.
That's not for good, Sagar.
I might end up losing my job because of you.
Anyway, that is decided.
As far as I know, she is an adamant and reckless woman.
I cannot sleep peacefully without swearing her.
Then go ahead.
Your scolding will cost me my life. - Ramakrishnan!
You are so timid.
I'm just going there to return her this nightie.
And my bag is there.
All my stuff is inside that bag.
Stop there! - What?
I said, stop there!
I was in inebriated before.
But now, I'm fully conscious.
If you've any intentions to create a ruckus
you'll face the consequences.
If you think of calling the police
I'll burn this house to ashes before they arrive.
If you behave well, then I'm a gentleman.
A man as soft as a flower.
I'm ready to apologise
for my mistake.
I've been threatened by cowards like you before.
I got you arrested by the police thinking that you were a thief.
I don't need anyone's help to confront a hooligan. - I see.
If you think you can threaten me
and get your friend take over my position
then you are mistaken. - Is it?
Then I declare right now
that within the next 24 hours
I will make sure that you are fired from your job.
Let's see. - Okay.
Take your nightie!
Since we've declared war, let's separate in dignity.
I've left my bag, clothes, slippers and three of my pens
in your room. I want them back.
I'm done with this! Oh!
Get lost!
If nobody needs this
let this lie there as a cover to this darkness.
I used one more thing. Your toothbrush.
If you want, you can use it. Else, you can throw it.
Ramakrishnan, I took an advance
from Mr. Mammachan for writing a service story.
I was here to discuss that!
But now, I've neither a story nor characters in my mind.
I just have a vindictive mind!
We've the 'Constitution of India' written by Dr. Ambedkar.
There are service laws and loopholes to send an adamant
government officer out of service! Otherwise, I'll create them.
Because this is India.
Be ready to get her fired within the next 24 hours.
I'll have to make many STD calls.
But I will not return without finding loopholes.
You can shut the door and sleep.
Good morning. - Mr. Karunakaran.
Have you informed the police station?
Haven't you informed?
Did you forget that we've the revenue recovery
of Padma Chits at 11 a.m. today?
Why don't you open your mouth?
I'm, not your servant, ma'am.
You should better learn how to behave
with your subordinates.
I'll show you what I can do!
When the present Tahsildar is reluctant to hand over the charge
to the newly promoted and transferred Tahsildar
he can assume the charge.
This clause is there in our department rules, ma'am.
And for your kind information, I've already sent messages
to Board Secretary, District Collector
Accounts General and the Treasurer.
Anything else, ma'am?
Hello? Tahsildar Ramakrishnan here.
Oh! Is that you, Sagar?
Everything is going good, Sagar.
With your help and support
I could easily take charge here.
I didn't call to hear your sweet talking.
Did that witch arrive?
Oh! Is she there?
What is her reaction? Her facial expressions?
If you ask about her facial expressions.. Yes!
She has gone pale.
I will pass the phone if you want to talk to her.
What nonsense is this?
Mr. Narayanan! Mr. Kurup!
This woman is not letting me work.
You need to be appreciated, sir.
We have never seen her like this before.
I had won the award for the best courageous cadet in my school days.
Oh, no!
H-Hello? - What the hell are you doing?
What's happening there? I heard some noises.
What? Did she throw the phone? No problem..
Where is she now? - She is finished, Sagar!
She will never step in here.
Oh, no! She closed the door. - What?
I think she locked the door from outside.
Yes. She has locked the door. - Good!
What are you saying?
Just wait and watch what's going to happen.
Don't try to break open the door.
I will call you after some time. Okay? - Okay.
Hello? Is this Mathrubhumi office? There is hot news..
Send your reporters to the Taluk office immediately.
The ex-Tahsildar has locked up an innocent Tahsildar.
The poor Tahsildar is struggling to breathe inside.
Send them fast!
Hello? Is it Manorama office? There is a hot news.
The ex-Tahsildar has locked up an innocent Tahsildar.
The poor Tahsildar is struggling to breathe inside. Send someone!
Hello? - I am Sagar. Don't worry.
If possible, act as if you are unconscious.
I'll be there soon. - Okay.
Have you locked the Tahsildar inside?
Who are you? - Ma'am, we are reporters.
We got to know that the Tahsildar is locked up in here. - Nonsense!
It's false information.
Don't kill.. Please don't kill the poor Tahsildar!
Don't kill.. Please don't kill the Tahsildar.
Where is the Tahsildar locked up? - He's in there. - Come..
Yes, it's locked.
Rescue him! We need to rescue him. Come..
There's the Tahsildar.. I think he has fainted.
Come.. There he is! He has fainted!
Take a photograph. The Tahsildar fainted. Capture it.
Take a colour photo of it..
The Collector is here..
He will show her.. - The Collector is here.
Collector..
What is going on here? - Before I handed over the charge
the new Tahsildar took charge.
And? - He could have asked me, sir.
The poor Tahsildar will die, sir. Hospitalise him, sir.
I am Sagar Kottapuram, the famous novelist.
Open the door. I say, open the door!
Open the door.
Tahsildar..
No!
A responsible officer must never do this.
You could have informed me. Who do you think you are?
Who are you to lock this door? - Sir..
I.. - No! You are suspended with immediate effect.
Make a detailed report and send it to the board immediately.
Yes, sir. - Hey!
Enough! - Let go! Ramakrishnan.
Enough.. - Let go, Ramakrishnan.. - You've drunk too much already.
The increase and decrease of quantity
is very much relative.
Have you ever thought what the meaning of life is?
My job is not to get drunk and seek the meaning of life.
What is the meaning of life? That is my question.
Life is nothing but a celebration of events.
Enjoy the life we got. - Okay.
Celebrate our victories. - Okay.
Celebrate our sorrows. - Okay.
Celebrate our failures. - Okay.
Celebrate our death. - What?
So shouldn't we celebrate today's victory?
The demon next door will not sleep tonight. - Okay.
So we will also not sleep.
She celebrates her failure, and we celebrate our victory.
We celebrate our victory, and she celebrates her failure.
We celebrate our victory, and she celebrates her failure. - Failure.
We celebrate.. - Our victory. - Victory!
"Oh, deer!"
"Oh deer, raised by the cupid."
"Oh, musk deer, you are untameable."
"No one can befriend you, my deer."
"You are a naughty deer."
"Oh, deer, you are an adamant one."
"You are the one that came from the deep woods"
"oh, deer!"
"I will cage you in my heart."
"Oh, grumpy deer, that moves away from me!"
"I will cage you within my heart."
"Oh, grumpy deer, that moves away from me!"
"Though you act bossy and complain all the time.."
"You are a timeless beauty."
"Oh, deer!"
"I longed for you ever since I saw you."
"Oh, deer, whom the moonlight caresses."
"I longed for you ever since I saw you."
"Oh, deer, whom the moonlight caresses."
"You are a lotus with a broken stem."
"Your beauty is like that of a fresh rose flower."
"Oh, deer.."
"Oh, deer!"
"Oh deer, raised by the cupid."
"Oh, musk deer, you are untameable."
"No one can befriend you, my deer."
"You are a naughty deer."
"Oh, deer, you are an adamant one."
"You are the one that came from the deep woods."
"Oh, deer!"
She is coming.
Who? - The Tahsildar.
It will be convenient for you to harass me if I come here?
Since we are from the same department
we will have to cross paths later.
So it would be better if you don't show this anger then.
You may empty your anger on me now.
Predators prefer to hunt down their prey.
Who is this? The warrior princess?
Did I hear the words of surrender from your mouth?
What happened? Why are you giving up?
What's up, then? Is your brother fine?
What about your warrior husband?
Oh! I forgot. You are a feminist.
You refuse to obey a man!
Lady, even if women get 99 percent
of reservation in the parliament
a man is always a man. Remember that!
We.. - Enough, Sagar. - What?
Is this how you behave to a woman? - I'll slap you!
She got me arrested. She locked you up in.. - They are bygones, Sagar.
Really? I didn't know.
There is a womaniser in you, Ramakrishnan. I know that.
But women are my enemies.
Didn't you conquer that enemy?
Victory is not enough for me. I must rejoice at my enemy's fate.
You may do as you please. But, I'll vacate before noon.
It would be nice if you do it by then.
No, ma'am. He is nice.. - What? Stop it!
How dare you say that? I am not nice!
I am a bad man. - I apologise for what I did.
That's okay.
If you are yet to have coffee, I invite you.
We can part as friends.
Big nations declare war on each other.
Later, they meet to discuss peace.
I am inviting you for a coffee, Mr. Sagar.
Poor thing.
Ma'am, they are here.
Come in..
Thank you so much.
I did not expect that you'd come.
I am pleased.
Please come in.
Thresiamma. - Yes?
Is the breakfast ready? - Yes.
Come.
Have it.
As this was an unexpected gathering
I could not do much.
From your looks, I get that you are fond of food.
I did not know that you were simple, ma'am.
We are supposed to apologise to you. - Not us
but you.
When we, novelists, create a character
we create the character's actions and words
to build a persona.
Even when the story takes several turns
the basic attitude of the character will not be altered.
I find that logic to be missing in your character, ma'am.
You are violent like a beast but become calm like a deer then.
What is this?
Can a novelist analyse the minds of everyone
in this world?
I didn't mean that.
Then? - I am interested in knowing more about your character.
I don't think that you can understand my character.
You told me that you despise women.
Do you despise your mother?
Do you despise your sister?
Or don't you have a mother and sister?
A true woman is not like the one in your novel
who day-dreams all the time.
No man can understand a woman.
Neither can they understand her mind.
The Collector suspended me without thinking twice.
It is because he was also unable
to understand women.
Why did I lock him up?
What was I thinking when I did it?
He did not even bother to ask me.
You are here to analyse my character!
I will let you and everyone else know my true character!
I am a self-made woman.
I reached here without anybody's help.
I won't let anyone defeat me.
I won't let anyone celebrate my failure!
I prefer death than failure.
You should celebrate
my death.
I shall die.
Yes.
I will kill myself.
I shall die!
- Ramakrishnan!
I think she is going to cut her veins
like the protagonist, Ragini in my novel.
Get that knife.
Put down the knife!
I won't let you cut your vein.
Put down the knife, Tahsildar. Put it down!
Listen to me.
Hey!
Oh.
Dear Lord. They are trying to rape the Tahsildar! - Hey!
He must have done that. Rape is common in his novels.
He expresses his desires through his words.
Please be calm, sir.
He is not bold enough to rape a Tahsildar at her home.
That's why he has someone to help him.
I can't believe this.
Then why are the journalists writing about it?
Why are you throwing it at me?
You are the owner of the magazine, and I am the editor.
I am not your slave. Remember that!
Why don't you understand my concern?
Our magazine became popular
after his stories started getting published.
If he is imprisoned..
We have announced his new novel three weeks ago.
He can write even if he is in prison.
Don't irritate me.
This is a rape case.
If the police beat him up
how will he write?
Will he write with his teeth, nose
or any other part?
Stop the car.
The owner and editor of 'Manchadi' magazine have come, sir. - Is it?
Tell them to come in. - Yes, sir.
I don't run this magazine to canvas for the ruling party.
I am at the police station.
Hey, I am not inside the lockup.
Please sit, sir.
I am a fan of your magazine. - Is it? - Yes.
I am 'Manchadi' Mammachan.
What has happened, sir?
Is Sagar Kottappuram in the lockup?
He has been taken to the Circle office now. - For what?
Interrogation.
What did he say? - Questioning session.
We want to bail him out immediately.
You can do that only on the court.
Do you need coffee, tea or anything cold?
I will feast later.
Something has to be done immediately.
The subscribers for my magazine, 'Manchadi' have doubled.
And his efforts have contributed a lot.
Kottappuram's future depends upon the statement of the Tahsildar
who was supposedly raped.
The law is now very protective when it comes to women.
Mr. Kottappuram and the Tahsildar had locked horns earlier.
This could have been a revenge plot.
I think you should meet the Tahsildar
and try to convince her for an amicable settlement.
Those who have entered my house without my consent
have not gone unpunished.
Respected ma'am
this is a battle of life and death.
We had announced three weeks ago that his next novel
will be published.
I am requesting you.
I beg of you.
Please withdraw the case against Mr. Kottappuram.
Please let him write the novel.
He should never write henceforth.
The magazine 'Manchadi'
and the novelist Sagar Kottappuram
may go to hell.
We have a circulation of six lakhs.
There are other cheap magazines that have a greater circulation.
Did Mr. Kottappuram rape you in reality?
Get out!
I said, get out.
Not once, she should be raped multiple times.
Tell her that we will pay her.
For raping her? - Damn. No.
But to withdraw the case. - She's not letting me speak.
Damn. We should have offered the money first.
Try once more, sir. - No.
Yes. - Is it?
Yes.
Sir! Oh, no.
We shall come when there is no power.
When did you come?
A while ago.
How is everything, sir?
Just as we expected.
They have been remanded for two weeks.
Very good. Now what?
They are also trying hard.
Advocate Sukumaran Nair will be appearing for them.
I am asking you once more, Priya.
Do we need this? Can't we compromise.. - No.
No, sir. - This is not a silly case, Priya.
We should consider their social status as well.
You know how journalists handle such cases.
Not only them, even you will also be affected.
I don't care what they write or talk about me.
I am already prepared to face the consequences.
Okay. Leave it.
It is easy to prove that they came
to your house and manhandled you.
All that matters is your statement.
If so
it is 511 rape attempt.
They might be imprisoned for seven years.
Even if we don't compromise, shouldn't we be blamed as well?
I mean, they came to your house as you invited them. - So what?
No.
Why do you want to frame this case by exaggerating everything?
My advocate is not supposed to ask these questions to me.
Do you consider me to be just your advocate, Priya?
I prefer to do that in this case.
You don't know how much they harassed me.
I don't want to accept defeat again.
Won't you help me get them imprisoned?
I didn't say that I won't. - Okay.
Have coffee.
No, sir.
My suspension has ended.
I will re-join tomorrow. - Good.
I will call you.
What should we do next?
We shall stay put for now.
Let the argument for the bail petition end. - Okay, sir.
I shall leave. - Okay.
Honk the horn.
Move.
They are from 'Manchadi'. - Hey.
Why is it so crowded?
They are here to see the accused for the rape case. - Get lost.
Dear Lord. Will everyone beat up Mr. Kottappuram?
No. The police will be with them.
Okay. Come.
Rapist! Come.
There he comes. - I want to see him.
Come out. - Rapist! - Move.
Move. - Come out. - Let me see him.
Rapist! - Give way.
Move. - Don't stop him. Let him come.
Rapist!
Remove the towel. Let us see your face.
Rapist!
This is nice.
Rapist!
Come..
Rapist!
Walk..
Hey, rapist!
'The accused one and two are released on bail.'
'They are to report to the police on every Sunday'
'until further orders.'
'Foreign Liquor.' - Stop.
Stop!
For what?
Tell me.
Kottappuram. - Give me something that will make me high fast.
Make it fast.
Isn't he the novelist? - Oh, the one who raped the Tahsildar.
How much is it? - Rs. 200.
Here.
Go to the Taluk office.
I want to rape her immediately.
Who? - Go!
Go!
Ponnappan, go to the Traveller's Bungalow.
Listen to me. Go to the Taluk office.
I have nothing to lose.
It is better to rape her in front of many witnesses
and accept the punishment happily than to be punished
for something I didn't do.
Calm down, Sagar.
You might have nothing to lose.
But that's not the case for the millions of readers.
It goes the same for me.
That goes the same
for the magazine's owners who print your novels.
You are very valuable to the people.
Don't try to stop me.
Please don't do anything, at least for my sake.
Since I heard that you got arrested
I haven't eaten or slept properly.
Because you are a great writer.
I told the advocate to bail you out no matter how much it costs me.
That's called true friendship, Sagar.
If that's true, then you should support me.
I will. I will stand with you.
Just wait for two more days. - Why is that?
Since you were in prison, your body is weak.
You don't have enough strength to properly rape her.
Don't say that.
All my anger toward her has made me a ferocious lion.
What is this place?
This is TB. - Where is Taluk office?
Just get out, Sagar.
Don't order me, ask politely. - Yes. I am doing that.
Just get out.
I want to go to the Taluk office. - We will. - Come on.
I want to go to the Taluk office. - We will. - Let me go there.
We will go after drinking some more alcohol. - I want..
Isn't that the novelist who raped the Tahsildar? - Yes. - I am.
I am the novelist who raped the Tahsildar.
Do you want me to rape anyone in your family? Tell me.
He doesn't have a family. - Tell me.
Do you want me to rape anyone in your family? - Go on.
Do you? - Go.
Tell me. Do you want me to? - Come on.
I have never even raped a fly. But everyone made me a rapist.
So I want to start raping from now on. - Your leg.. - Let me.
Hold down his leg. - Lie down. - Oh, no!
Please don't rape me!
Let me rape! Please don't rape me!
What the hell? - Let me rape! Please don't rape me!
Let me rape! Please don't..
Greetings..
W-Where am I? - We are in the VIP room in TB.
These are the people from Saakshi, Marunad and Malayalakara magazines.
What are you all doing here? - Ninth part of 'Maruppachathedi'..
If you don't compose the climax of 'Chakyarkooth' tomorrow..
You will have to skip the part if I don't compose it.
The novel will end halfway. Let it end.
You can say that the novel ended because Sagar Kottappuram died.
Sir. - Yes.
The novelist Sagar Kottappuram is dead.
This is ghost right here.
The ghost who is here to suck the blood out of the Tahsildar.
Get out! - Leave. - Get lost! - Leave..
Come..
Wouldn't even let me pee.
Rascals!
Why aren't you leaving?
Making them leave was a good decision.
When you were wrongfully imprisoned
none of them tried to bail you out.
Traitors!
I didn't ask anyone to bail me out.
A true friend will do it even if you don't ask. - No.
You are the most wicked one in all of them.
You will kick a man when he is down.
You don't care about me.
All you care about is the novelist.
The stupid novelist who agreed to write a novel
in your bloody magazine.
I am not going to do that. - I will not urge you, Kottappuram.
But remember. It's been five weeks since we advertised it. - Not us.
Just you. I will stab you in your eyes if you don't leave.
Get lost! - Oh, God. My magazine.
I got beaten to a pulp.
Where were you? - My whole body is hurt.
Did you go and apologise to her again?
No. I went to get our things
from the house we rented.
An idiot recognised me even if it was dark.
There was a crowd. They called me a rapist.
And they started to throw stones at me.
I don't even know how I escaped.
This unacceptable.
This disaster.. This monster..
We shouldn't destroy her in a day by raping her once.
We shouldn't kill the golden goose.
From now on she is my motivation
to satisfy all my desires.
I will repeatedly rape her with my words forever.
Mammachan, you should advertise this.
A new novel is starting from the next week.
The name of the novel is a gusseted monster.
'A Gazetted Demoness.'
Oh, my Lord. What a good title!
'A Gazetted Demoness.' Thank you very much, Kottappuram.
I will go right now and let the world know about this.
'A Gazetted Demoness.' by Sagar Kottappuram.
Monster. - From the next issue of Manchadi magazine
there will be a new novel from Sagar Kottappuram.
'A Gazetted Demoness.'
There are posters all over the town.
A story by Sagar Kottappuram. 'A Gazetted Demoness.'
It's the Tahsildar's face in the poster.
I saw her vehicle stopping near a poster in front
of the Taluk office with my eyes and saw her anger upon seeing it.
I waited to see what she would do next. Few minutes after that
The peon comes outside and destroys the poster.
I called Mammachan right away.
He told me he would put the poster back in the same place.
Very good! Very good.
Now she knows that the story is about her.
Yes. - Only then would she read the novel.
Only then will she understand the power of my words. - Yes.
Okay. What about the story?
Don't be surprised. - Why?
You are the hero in this story.
Really? - Yes.
Because the hero in it doesn't need to be handsome.
You could have been the hero if he had a face like a pumpkin.
We will discuss about that later.
Anyway this story is based on the heroine.
There is a lot about her. The story of her wickedness.
I will read you the first part.
There is no introduction like any normal love stories.
The writer is starting with her real self from the start.
'Her name is Anitha.'
'The story about the female psyche of the new generation girls'
'starts with her.'
'In her lust the feelings such as'
'relationship, sympathy and empathy are unknown to her.'
'She only thinks about achievements.'
'Submission of others is her only satisfaction.'
'Her weapon is her beauty.'
'She is the trusted lover of many men at the same time.'
'She is nothing but a curse to the world.'
'Today. Right here. She is the municipal commissioner.'
'S. Anitha. Municipal Commissioner.'
'Since this commissioner is worthless'
'the city officials tried to transfer'
'a new commissioner, Dileep Menon here.'
Hello. Mr. Dileep Menon?
I heard that you came to take charge.
A strong commissioner such as you is what this city needs right now.
I heard you are so imaginative.
A man with lots of innovative ideas.
Yes. Sure.
Before you take charge, shall we meet?
Why did you ask me to come?
First, come inside. - tell me what you have to say.
I have a lot to tell you.
Then I will come back tomorrow.
It's late.
Don't stand in the rain. Come inside, Dileep.
I feel like I am trapped.
If you don't give up your charge..
I will. - Is it?
Then let me take charge tomorrow.
Do you want it that soon? - If you ask that..
I don't even know why I am staying at that house anymore.
I know why? - Why is it?
So that I can see you all day.
Do you when we first met, Dileep?
The day I moved into that house. - No, Dileep.
It was long before that. - "Baby.."
We met many lives before this one.
We were in love.
I knew that one day you would come back
to save me from my loneliness one day, Dileep.
'Dileep Menon had no idea what was happening.'
'Since Dileep Menon never been with a woman before'
'he drifted slowly into a dream.'
'At that moment he started to love Commissioner Anitha'
'without knowing her wickedness.'
'Right then like an experienced performer.'
'Anitha wrapped Dileep Menon..'
It's intentional. It's all intentional.
Just read it, sir.
He has written many shameless things.
'After that Dileep Menon never saw the rising sun'
'He never saw the moon. He never saw birds in the sky.'
'He never saw the sheep grazing in the valleys.'
'...always in mind.'
'While their days and nights ran wild with love'
'in the parks and beaches of the city'
'in an evening, those intense eyes gazed upon them out of nowhere.'
'To be continued.'
Whose intense eyes are they? - That is the suspense.
Didn't you anxiously ask me now? That is the technique.
To keep the readers wanting more.
I just want to know whose eyes they are.
Didn't I tell you that it's a suspense?
But won't he come in the next issue?
Why do we need him?
Though it's about deceit, while the heroine and I enjoy
why must another guy come in?
Who are you to say that?
If you interfere in a writer's freedom.. - Nothing will happen.
What happened after Iran put a bounty on Salman Rushdie?
Isn't he still around?
Even then, could anyone stop his words?
I will disclose something now. Don't be shocked.
You are not the real hero of the story. - What?
This intense-eyed man. He is the real hero.
He is a renowned writer and novelist.
Oh, I understood. His name is Sagar Kottapuram, isn't it?
Yes.
Dileep.
Oh, no!
I'm Jayadevan. I'm Dileep's friend.
I'm a writer.
I know. I have seen your photo. I have read your works as well.
A lot. - Anitha, are you not?
God! How do you know my name?
A writer must know everything.
I came here to discuss something with you, Anitha.
Do you love Dileep, Anitha? - Well..
You don't, do you?
See, he is innocent.
A cancer patient of a mother
a blind younger brother
and five sisters of age
and many other issues haunts that moron.
Still, he is chasing you like a dog with a bone.
If you don't give him that job, I'll whack you!
What happened? Tell me. Why are you crying?
I am a huge fan of yours. But I never expected
such harsh words from you.
I was telling the truth. - Whatever. - It can't be whatever.
Because the truth is the truth.
No, Mr. Jayadevan. I don't wish to talk further
and ruin my opinion about you.
Stop! I will go only after
I get him that job. - Anitha!
What happened? What did you tell her? - Anitha!
You better obey me! - What happened?
Get lost, dimwit! - Jayadevan! - Yes! It's me!
Though you don't care about yourself
I care about you. Got it?
This is why the writer is unnecessary in this story.
Dimwit? How dare you!
My image is sketched in the magazine as Dileep Menon.
So, I don't like you insulting me.
Then get lost!
If I created Dileep Menon, I know how to kill him off.
What do you mean? - I'll make him take a laxative.
And? - He defecates to death in a chapter.
I'll kill him off like that. - Then do it soon.
I'd rather die than living shamelessly.
But if you make me poop to death, I'll sue you.
Then go ahead and do it.
Go! Go and sue me!
How will the story progress if you kill me off?
Anitha, who knows that Jayadevan can get Dileep Menon that job
is trying to seduce Jayadevan on the next issue.
"The bangles are tinkling."
"The anklets are jingling."
"My love, won't you tell me? Shall I come with you?"
"The spring season"
"visited this valley just for us."
"The spring season visited this valley just for us."
Stop!
Who are you all? - We came to dance. - What?
For a group dance. - Isn't this a song?
It will be colourful with background dancers..
Oh, no! I am already fed up with your dance.
That's when these women show up!
They'll jump in as soon as a duet begins.
Don't you have guardians? Go!
Go home!
"Go back! Just go! My dear.."
"Your desire is of no use."
"Go back! Just go! My dear.."
"Your desire is of no use."
"If you forget your status and pursue this"
"the world will blame us."
"Dear, we shouldn't forget our future and do something."
"The bangles are tinkling."
"The anklets are jingling."
"Don't cry, my dear."
"Don't think unnecessary things.."
"The spring season"
"visited this valley just for us."
"The spring season visited this valley just for us."
"The love-filled sky is basking in the moonlight."
"The night is cold and cosy."
"The love-filled sky is basking in the moonlight."
"The night is cold and cosy."
"Don't reject me further."
"For I shall be lonely and weary."
"You must accompany me without hesitation."
"Let the bangles tinkle."
"Let the anklets jingle."
"Don't cry, my dear."
"Don't speak unwanted things."
"The spring season"
"visited this valley just for us."
"The spring season visited this valley just for us."
Let me go! - What? - Bastard!
Let me go! - What? - Rascal!
Bloody rascal! - What happened? - Somebody help me!
What? - Let me go!
Dileep!
He tried to rape me, Dileep!
No. I haven't molested her.
No. I understood your true colours.
Is this why you came here?
This innocent girl.. - Dileep, listen to me.
Dileep!
You aren't my friend anymore!
Dileep!
Oh, no!
Cheat!
Cheat..
'Manchadi.'
Priya, you needn't get down. - But I want to.. - No.
We came here on the understanding that only I'd talk to the editor.
If you are adamant that you want to talk to him, you may.
I shall go back.
Don't get me started on that, Mr. Kuttappan!
I'd increased the number of copies by 50,000
when 'A Gazetted Demoness' was first published.
I'm ever so busy now as the fourth chapter is about to be released.
I'm getting letters from agents saying that they need
more number of copies!
It looks like the total circulation will exceed a million!
It's all because of the accusation of rape on Kottappuram.
It's God's grace!
I will call you later, Mr. Kuttappan!
Some agent is knocking on my door.
Yes, come in.
Sir, Advocate Nambiar is here.
Ask him to come in.
Please come, Nambiar.
Please sit.
Isn't there a chair?
There is one. Please sit.
You might say that the heroine of the novel, 'A Gazetted Demoness'
is a Municipal Commissioner and not a Tahsildar.
I might not be able to prove that it's based on real events.
But since the novelist is the accused in the rape case
any judge can easily draw some conclusions
and decide to shut down
this establishment of yours.
I completely agree with you.
But since this is India
and since I am wealthy and have
the confidence to even approach the Supreme Court if necessary
I wish to say that
I am not intimidated by your threat.
It's better if you remember
that your stupid novelist was released
on bail and I, the special prosecutor in this case
can get him imprisoned
for a number of years based on numerous charges.
I do know that.
I also know that you and your stupid client
will try to do so even if the novel isn't published.
So, you're ready to face the consequences.
Yes.
Are you not interested in a compromise?
If reaching a compromise was your aim
why did you try to threaten me?
You thought that I was a coward, right?
I started out as a fishmonger.
Then, I owned rubber estates.
When the price of rubber came down, I started this.
So, don't try to threaten me.
Hey, mister!
You shouldn't insult a young and unmarried woman
to increase the circulation of your magazine.
I can totally do that since a fake case was filed against
my employee, who is a bachelor.
I'll tell you what you've to do to reach a compromise.
Withdraw the case against Kottappuram and then
we'll think about stopping the publication of the novel.
No.
I have nothing to lose now.
I want him to get the maximum punishment.
Then, I will bribe the cops
to break his right arm
inside the prison.
I considered an out-of-court settlement so that
the case would gain no more publicity.
But now I understand it.
If we don't deal with these swines
it'll be dangerous for the society.
What you said is right.
There is nothing to think about now.
We'll take this to court.
Your Honour
you have already allowed petition 315 CrPC.
So let me examine the accused number one and two
as witnesses.
Yes, you may proceed.
Why did you and accused number two
Ramakrishnan, visit the plaintiff?
She came to our place and invited us for breakfast.
That's why.
Who all were present at her home?
She and her servant were there.
Did you have breakfast? - No.
Why not?
Before we could start, she took a knife
and said that she would cut her veins.
We tried to stop her.
Did something else happen? - No.
Were you previously accused of any crime?
No. - Are you married?
No. - Why haven't you?
I chose not to as I can't
objectify women as sexual possessions.
What is your attitude towards women?
I consider women equivalent to God.
That's all, Your Honour.
Do you insult Gods for a living?
I write novels for a living.
You just said
that you consider women equivalent to God.
If I accuse you of insulting womanhood through your
disgusting novel, 'A Gazetted Demoness'
will you deny it? - Novels are works of fiction. - Seriously?
Doesn't that novel reflect your perspective about women?
No. - There are good and bad women in this world.
I have written novels in which the protagonists are good women.
But the character in
'A Gazetted Demoness' is a bad woman.
Didn't you write that novel to exact revenge on the plaintiff?
I write novels to earn money!
How come the picture of that character resembles the plaintiff?
Ask that to the illustrator!
Do you drink? - Yes, at times.
You stated that you weren't accused of any crimes previously.
Weren't you arrested for breaking and entering the plaintiff's house?
I entered the house thinking that it was Ramakrishnan's.
Regardless of what you thought, did the cops arrest you or not?
They didn't arrest me, but asked me to go with them.
When the SI was convinced of the truth, he let me go.
Do you often have breakfast from places where spinsters stay?
When I feel like having breakfast from a place, I don't try
to find out if the place is occupied by spinsters.
Will you entertain such invitations from any woman?
I'll go to have lunch and supper, let alone breakfast.
Will you deny it if I state that you tried to assault her because
you wanted to exact revenge on the plaintiff?
I will. I just met her a few days ago.
Really? You said you didn't marry as you didn't want
to objectify women as sexual possessions.
Yes. - Your father is Krishna Menon.
Yes. - Your mother is Lakshmikuttyamma. - Yes.
Whose wedding invitation is this?
Answer me.
Mine.
Which means, the wedding invite of the one who hates objectifying
women as sexual possessions. Right? Where is your wife?
I am not married.
Really?
Do you distribute wedding invites for fun?
Answer me. - It happened like that in the past.
I'll tell you what really happened.
The wedding was decided and the invites were sent out.
The bride found out that you were a reprobate.
So she called off the wedding. Isn't that the truth?
No. - I'm sure that it is.
Ever since then, you wanted to exact revenge on her.
Will you deny it if I say that the plaintiff, Priyadarshini
was that woman?
The bride, Priya Menon, mentioned
in this invitation is the plaintiff.
The groom, Vidyasagar, is the novelist Sagar Kottappuram.
Your Honour, the truth is that the accused wanted to exact revenge
on the plaintiff who had called off
the wedding years ago and he used this opportunity to do so.
That's all, Your Honour.
The questions of the lawyer, with the invitation in his hand.
On one side, we have the hero who is speechless.
And on the other side, we have the heroine who is stunned.
The events in the court are enough material for a chapter.
The reader will be enthralled and captivated.
Please write it down immediately.
By the way, why didn't the wedding happen after the invitations
were printed?
Leave that. When the hero and the heroine
met each other after six years, they couldn't
recognise each other.
What is the name of the disease that causes one to forget
the past? 'Amleshyam'! Am I not right?
Does the two of you suffer from 'Amleshyam'?
Talk to me, Kottappuram.
If you write it now, I'll make the arrangements to print it.
Both the hero and the heroine shouldn't suffer from 'Amleshyam'.
The readers won't believe it.
Let one of them suffer from it.
'A Gazetted Demoness'. Chapter six. 'Amleshyam!' Let that be the title.
Do you know how we ended chapter five? - Tell me.
There is no point in repeating the word, 'Amleshyam'!
Also, there isn't such a word!
What else do you call the loss of memory?
That isn't the concern now.
Anitha seduced the novelist, Jayadevan.
There was a clash between Dileep and Jayadevan.
Dileep died and Jayadevan went into hiding.
And that's how we ended the previous chapter.
How will the hero and heroine end up in court in the next chapter?
Let the police arrest the hero.
And then? - The hero confesses to the police
that he killed Dileep on the heroine's insistence.
That would lead to her arrest as well.
That'd lead to them both ending up in court.
As they were being interrogated, the twist in the story happens.
Both of them were once promised to be married.
'Amleshyam.' What do you think?
Unlike you, his readers aren't fools.
It'll be helpful if the readers suffer from 'Amleshyam'.
You can decide the plot.
Regardless of what you write
it should be enthralling and appalling.
Please start writing your masterpiece.
Can we talk for a minute? - Why?
Please, I insist.
Put down the chair. - Sure.
I will be right back.
'Amleshyam.'
Where do you come from?
Is this how you speak to a heartbroken man?
His bloody court plot!
What you saw in the court was his life.
It was not a story material for your terrible weekly. - Excuse me?
'Manchadi'? I don't care if you insult me.
But if you ever insult my weekly.. - Get lost!
Really? Are you throwing me out?
Why don't you get lost? I pay the bills here!
And not your father!
Good Lord! - I forgot that I ever knew you.
Because I suffer from amnesia.
What we wanted
was a favourable verdict for this case.
That's all I have been working for.
All that I want to know is
why weren't I informed about this earlier?
I didn't think that it would do anything for the case.
And not just that, I saw this case from a different perspective.
I realised that you were uncomfortable discussing with me
your past relationship with him.
It never crossed my mind that
you may be unaware of the identity of the man you were engaged to.
Didn't he know you, Priya?
We will talk later.
Sir.
I am not interested in proceeding with this case any further.
Oh, Lord!
He has been resting all day.
I don't think he has any plans to write.
Go ahead and slap me if you wish.
With whom can I share my pain!
All he does is wake up, get drunk and rest again.
I brought him Scotch upon his request.
Do you know how much it cost?
It's not that I can't find other writers.
In spite of receiving requests from M.T. Vasudevan Nair..
And? - He..
I understand that this case is unnecessary.
But I must do my duty as an advocate.
Priyadarshini wishes to withdraw the case by confessing the truth.
Really? Why should she?
Weren't you falsely accused, Mr. Sagar?
Mr. Sagar.
Yes, I am Mr. Sagar.
Why the sudden change?
Didn't you take up this case for your personal benefit?
You call yourself a lawyer!
Now, you pity with me for being falsely accused!
I shall give you a genuine case! I'll break your bones!
Won't that be genuine enough for you? I'll kill her!
That'll lead to another case!
Get lost! - Sagar..
Listen to us!
Let me go. Tell her
that I won't spare her no matter what she does
unless the fire in my heart is doused!
Sagar.. - Let me go! - Come.
Stop! - Just listen to us!
Sagar. - Just come. - Let me go!
Kottappuram!
Stop! Don't commit suicide.
You haven't lost anything!
Suicide? Let me go!
Won't you let me be?
That's not it. When you left for this place in a hurry..
Forget that! Were you thinking of a storyline?
What do you see? - Isn't that the sea?
Right?
And what's there beyond the sea? - There should be
land beyond the sea. Right?
Where do we reach having crossed the Arabian Sea?
We would reach the Middle East. Isn't that right? - Yes.
The Gulf..
The rest of my story will begin from those sand dunes.
Not the stories that were written so far.
It would be the real story. The story of my life.
I will be penning my life hereafter.
The gazetted demoness and Jayadevan, the novelist
will be reborn as Priyadarshini and Sagar in this story.
Hello? Vidyasagar here.
Hello, Padmini! I have no words for you.
Didn't you promise that you'd call yesterday?
Forget it. How did things go?
Oh, yes. Mohanan and I met them.
She is quite an elegant woman.
A charming woman with a pleasant smile.
We loved her at first sight.
All that matters is whether you liked her or not.
After all, you know my tastes better than I do.
But you must like the girl as well.
Can't you come home for a few days?
If I come now, the manager won't give me leave for my wedding.
I may have to courier the nuptial chain then!
You and Mohanan can decide everything.
I have sent the bride-to-be's photograph.
When?
With whom did you send it? When did that happen?
Don't get excited!
Don't you know Sonia, your friend, Sainuddin's sister?
She and her husband were here one night to bid goodbye.
I have given it to her. Didn't Sainuddin tell you?
No, he didn't. That bloody idiot must have forgotten.
I shall call you back later. I am a little caught up right now.
Hello? Malabar garments?
Hello, is that you, Sagar? Yes, Sainuddin is here. I'll call him.
A phone call for you. - Okay. Oh, Lord.. There it goes.
They simply won't listen!
You have a phone call. - Really?
Will you arrange this?
Who is it? - It's Vidyasagar.
Tell me, dear. Are you doing well?
I am going to thrash you!
Why haven't you given me
my bride-to-be's photograph? - I have a reason.
I couldn't take my eyes off her photograph.
I swear, I will thrash.. You better give it to me!
What about the order of 10,000 Lacoste T-shirts
that was promised by your company?
There was no such deal.
You had asked for the order.
I had declined you then and there.
Why don't you understand this?
Your manager is an Englishman, who hails from Britain
that tried to colonise India and rule over us!
You need not be more sincere to him than to me.
Today, we are returning the favour for their wrong deeds!
That's patriotism.
Is that so?
I didn't realise that. When will you give me the photograph?
When will you place the order for my T-shirts?
I see that you'd comply only once I've placed the order.
Just place the damn order. - No way.
I don't want the photograph. I shall come over tonight.
And we shall discuss the order and the photograph. Okay?
Okay.
Oh, Lord!
I could not have caught you red-handed
if I hadn't told you about coming over tonight.
Are you saying that I'd get the photo only if I place the order?
I never said anything like that.
I was only requesting for it. That's all.
No, you tried to blackmail my urge
to see the photograph of my future wife.
Show me the photograph! - Why would I keep it with me?
Let's go to my apartment and get the photo when I am free.
Don't you have it with you? - Why would I take it along with me?
Okay, I can't wait any longer. Let's get going.
Right now? - Will you just come?
Come out! - But, I.. - Just come out.
I will give it to you. But first, let go of my arm.
No way. You may keep your tricks to yourself.
I am going to.. Sainuddin!
Hey! I swear, I will hurt you.
Sainuddin..
Sainuddin, stop there.
No way!
Hey!
Get down here, Sainuddin!
Sainuddin, get here. Don't make me chase you.
Hey! - I was once the college champion in athletics.
The photograph is right here with me.
You are not getting it unless you place the order. - Sainuddin.
Here it is.. - You idiot! I am going to.. Sainuddin!
"She is beautiful.."
Kabir, did Sainuddin come here?
No. Didn't you leave together?
If I get my hands on him now..
He must be with Balu.
Tell him that I'll get him.
The girl looks gorgeous.
Did you see it? - I did. Beautiful girl.
Balu.. - Sagar.
Did Sainuddin come here? - Isn't he at his shop?
No. - Then, he must be with James.
Okay. - Sagar. - Yes? - I saw the photo.
She is beautiful. - What?
Did Sainuddin come here? - He came and left.
He showed me the photo. She looks beautiful.
That bloody..
Yes, Vidyasagar. - Hey, man!
Don't try to act smart.
You're trying to catch me, aren't you? Look ahead and drive!
Don't try to overtake my car.
You won't catch me.
You showed that photo to everyone else.
Why are you doing this to me?
I only asked an order for 10,000 pieces.
Do one thing. Be a good boy
and go to the office. Type the order
and come to Zachariah's place in the evening.
Isn't it his son's birthday today?
I hope you are invited. We shall see the photo there.
Okay? - Sainu. Dear. Give it to me.
No way! Come to the party in the evening, okay? - Get lost!
Happy birthday to you..
Happy birthday to Chikku..
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.. - Happy birthday to you..
Happy birthday, Chikku. - Happy birthday to Chikku..
Happy birthday to Chikku.. - The photo looks good.
Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please.
We are here to celebrate Chikku's birthday.
We Malayalis get together on these occasions
and disperse after boasting and eating.
That's all.
We don't have unity.
We are least bothered about co-operation.
We don't help each other as well.
I am saying this because
Vidyasagar is a friend of ours.
His future bride's photo is with me.
Wait..
I have told him that I'd only give this to him if his company
orders some T-shirts from me.
You know that he is stronger than me.
So, if this hulk becomes aggressive
I request you to come to my aid.
Gather around me. Come, please.
He is ready to attack.
Get ready to save me. - Give me the photo.
Give me the order. - Take the photo.
The order, please! - Here.
Here's the photo. Give me the order.
I'll give it only if you give me the photo. Or you'll blackmail me.
I'll give the photo once I confirm that it's the real order.
Don't you trust me? - No.
No. - No? - No.
Friends must trust each other.
I won't trust you until you give me the order.
This is cheating! Give me the order! - Sainu!
Hey! - Run! - Wait! Sainuddin!
No.. - Hey.. - Don't.
Don't grab me. - No! - Ouch!
No!
Damn!
God! She was a nice girl!
You!
Leave me. - Get lost!
Hello? Sister!
Sister, you called at the right time.
I got the photo you sent. It's good.
She is getting cooked in the chicken gravy.
She is ideal not to marry but to eat.
What? I see.
Damn! Is this why we sent the photo over?
Whack Sainuddin on the head.
How do we ask for her photo again?
Hey! Don't.. No need to send another photo.
Everyone in Dubai except me saw the photo.
They say that your selection is perfect.
'What is seen is beautiful and what's left to see is splendid.'
Since I haven't seen her
I can put my imagination to work
and keep dreaming.
"Like a heavenly lotus.."
"Who are you, oh, half-bloomed flower?"
"Like a heavenly lotus.."
"Who are you, oh, half-bloomed flower?"
"Like an alluring feather.."
"Who are you, oh, mysterious one?"
"Who are you? Oh, loved one! You were the one in my dreams!"
"An elegant sight like a magnificent pearl."
"Like a heavenly lotus.."
"Who are you, oh, half-bloomed flower?"
"The blue birds longed for you."
"The stars shined upon you."
"The blue birds longed for you."
"The stars shined upon you."
"Every dawn came to earth just to see you."
"Every flower bloomed for you."
"Who are you? Oh, angel!"
"Like a heavenly lotus.."
"Who are you, oh, half-bloomed flower?"
"The palms spread their shade for you."
"The lilies were made into garlands just for you."
"The palms spread their shade for you."
"The lilies were made into garlands just for you."
"In the strong wind, the desert turned into a sea."
"The waves made gold anklets for you."
"Who are you? Oh, angel!"
"Like a heavenly lotus.."
"Who are you, oh, half-bloomed flower?"
"Like an alluring feather.."
"Who are you, oh, mysterious one?"
"Who are you? Oh, loved one! You were the one in my dreams!"
"An elegant sight like a magnificent pearl."
"Like a heavenly lotus.."
"Who are you, oh, half-bloomed flower?"
Damn! Padmini had told me when I called her from Jebel Ali
that she would come to the airport. Tell me the truth, Mohanan.
Did you guys fight in between?
No. - Then why didn't Padmini and the kids come to receive me?
Aren't we going home? - That is not a good answer.
Leave that. Are all the arrangements done?
I could have come a few days earlier. But I chose not to.
I feared that I'd feel like seeing her.
I decided to wait the moment her photo fell into the curry.
To see one's bride for the very first time at the wedding!
Isn't that thrilling?
You didn't say anything about her, Mohanan.
Is she talkative or reserved?
I was rushing when they announced the take-off.
I did some shopping until then.
Some beautiful ladies' watches, earrings and so on.
I hope you understand.
I have a colleague from Ramanattukara named Vasudevan.
They still make fun of him for panicking during his wedding.
They had to remove that portion from the wedding video.
The wedding video doesn't have the actual ceremony.
I don't have that problem.
But when thousands of people
focus on you at that moment..
Why should we be bothered about it? Right?
Were you tense during your wedding?
I don't remember.
I had an intuition.
That you'd be the first one I see here, Uncle.
I hope you had a pleasant journey. - Balan, take these in.
I like the awning. It needs more decoration.
Go inside. - Isn't this place supposed to be
more lively?
Were you guys here?
You don't love me anymore.
Why weren't you at the airport?
There is a punishment. You won't be getting the gifts.
Where is your mother? - Did the flight arrive in time?
I am not interested in pleasantries.
You cheated me, Padmini.
Madhavi, tea..
The heater is turned on. Take a bath.
What does this cold welcome mean?
Did I do something wrong?
He hasn't eaten. Serve him breakfast. - Okay.
I have been eating breakfast for about 32 years.
So, just leave it. Didn't you invite anyone?
Not even the neighbours are here.
Well..
Aren't you tired from the journey? Take a bath.
As if I'm here from Dubai to bathe!
Fine.
I have taken a bath and had breakfast.
What should I do now?
You told that you were on leave for two months.
Yes. But if the formalities of her Visa goes smoothly
we will leave soon. Everyone is waiting there.
Sit down.
You should hear us out patiently.
Consider that nothing has happened.
Else, consider yourself lucky that it ended this way.
How would it be if it had happened after the wedding?
We have two months.
I am saying this as I believe that you trust me.
We will find an even better girl for you.
We got a call from her house yesterday.
She was in love with someone
and eloped with him.
'A Gazetted Demoness.'
'Manchadi.'
The postman delivers sacks of fan letters.
I brought some of them here.
Everyone is shocked.
They have written that the Dubai flashback was great.
Everyone is eagerly waiting for new incidents to be unfolded.
Read it. 'With whom did the demoness elope?'
'Did they get married after eloping?'
'If so, where is he now?'
'Is he alive? Did she birth his child?' Look.
By the way, where is he now?
Don't you know him, Sagar?
Have you met him?
Why should I meet him?
You should. The next chapter will have the meeting
between those two. - Is that so?
Are you sure about that?
If so, there will be a chance for an interesting
fight and punchlines.
If the guy who cheated the protagonist is slapped on the face
the readers will be satisfied.
Don't worry, Sagar.
I will find him somehow.
Well, we both will do it.
I am the owner of 'Manchadi', Mammachan.
Everyone calls me 'Manchadi' Mammachan.
This is Tahsildar Ramakrishnan.
Why are you here?
Well..
We have something to discuss with you in private.
We went through a lot to find you.
We have a car. We shall go out and discuss.
What is the matter?
Well..
How can I say it in front of women?
It can't be discussed in front of your wife. That's the issue.
What is the matter, mister?
Do you read Sagar Kottappuram's 'A Gazetted Demoness'? - No.
It is a novel in my magazine, 'Manchadi'.
'A Gazetted Demoness' is based on Tahsildar Priyadarshini.
Your old lover.
She cheats the protagonist.
That is, she elopes with her lover on her wedding eve.
The novel has been stopped there.
What happened after you eloped with her?
Now we know that the lover married someone else. How come?
Are you here to discuss this?
You have unknowingly destroyed Vidyasagar's life.
Get out. - What? - Get out.
The next edition of 'A Gazetted Demoness'.. - Get out, I say.
Come.
Get going.
I am Vidyasagar.
Before I settle scores
I wanted to know some things.
Sit.
Sit, demoness.
The mistake is on my part.
Even if I withdraw the case
or apologise
it won't be enough.
No..
I told your advocate not to withdraw the case.
Neither do you have to apologise.
I want you to be your old arrogant self for me to exact my revenge.
We shall discuss that later.
You eloped with someone back then.
Where is he now?
Speak up.
Where is he now?
He is living happily with another woman, isn't he?
What happened?
Did he abandon you as he got fed up of you?
Or did you abandon him?
If you did love him
why did you give your consent to marry me?
Okay. You might have done that as your family pressurised you.
I just have one question.
After eloping with him, you could have called me.
Why didn't you do that?
I was a fool who loved a woman whom I never met.
You could've called me.
I came with hundreds of gifts for you
the day before our wedding. I was a fool! You should've called me.
Why didn't you do that?
Tell me.
I already told you.
Punish me as you wish.
Please don't ask me anything.
How can I not?
Tell me. Why did you destroy my life?
Tell me.
You made me a fool
in front of my friends, relatives and neighbours.
I couldn't return as I was embarrassed.
I lost my job.
I started to hate my life.
I left my home.
I wasted my life drinking.
I wrote many things when the sorrow inside me
refused to die out.
That is how I became a stupid writer.
Do you know?
I won't spare you.
Why did you cheat me? I need an answer. Tell me.
I don't have anything to say.
Kill me if you want.
I will accept it happily.
So you won't answer my question.
I don't deserve any punishment less than death.
So you won't answer.
Hear me out. I'm not interested in killing you that easily.
I want you to have a slow, painful death.
You should suffer as I had once.
I will live my life to see that happen.
'No. I am not angry with anyone.'
'I don't have anyone to bid farewell.'
'In a world filled with cruel people'
'I can't live anymore.'
'Let everything end with this.'
'I don't have the strength to cheat'
'a stranger.'
'It will never happen.'
'Forgive me.'
'I don't know you.'
'I don't know your dreams.'
'Just know that no matter how much they insisted'
'I was not ready to cheat you intentionally.'
'That's all I want.'
Priya..
Open the door.
Priya.
Aren't you ready yet?
I am ready.
Is this how you dress?
You haven't taken a bath or changed.
Is that necessary?
What are you saying?
We have been waiting for a long time.
If we don't buy the ornaments today, when will we?
Only four days are left for the wedding.
You needn't remind me that every second.
It's fine. We will wait for you.
Go and get ready soon, dear.
What are you doing?
I know that you are in a rush.
You want to get rid of me
and fly to Malaysia
to join your new husband.
Am I right?
You needn't constantly remind me that.
Fine.
I expect the same from you.
You will never be able to understand me, Mom.
Can't you at least understand me, Aunt?
You were the only one there for me since my childhood.
Have you joined her side now?
This is for your good, dear.
Nonsense.
I don't want to gain anything
by cheating someone intentionally.
No.
I don't need any of this.
Don't force me.
Even if you do, I won't listen.
Dear. - No! - Sister.
Leave, everyone. Leave!
Jithu. You have a visitor.
Priya. - Yes. It's Priya.
I thought I might surprise you.
I don't know whether this is a pleasant or a sad surprise for you.
But what about your marriage?
It will be called off. It should be.
I ran away from home to see you.
Why did you want to see me?
You were the only one I wanted to see.
From now on, you can make the decisions. - Me?
What should I decide?
Who else should decide it?
You stayed away from me all this time.
Now I had no other option but to look for you.
What do you want me to do?
First, tell me what I should do.
I can't go back.
Can't you accommodate one more person in your room?
This is a boys' hostel. - So what?
What's going to happen if a girl lives here?
I want to take a shower.
I need to change.
It was a long journey.
If the warden sees you.. - Tell him
that I am here to live with you.
Sit down, Priya. I will be right back.
Hurry up. I will be right here.
Hey, Shibu. - Yes? - Come here. - What? - Come.
Priya is here. - Where is she?
She is in the visitor's room.
Didn't you say that she was getting married this Sunday? What about it?
She ran away from home.
Why? - To see me.
She said she wanted to stay with me.
I don't know what she wants.
Damn it! What do we do now?
She is in a very fragile state. I am worried.
Just do one thing.
Call my parents and tell them that she is here. - Okay.
My mother will inform her family.
We shouldn't make them worry.
Okay. - Try to convince the warden somehow.
Okay. - I will take her to my room for now.
Or else she might make a scene.
There is one more guy in this room with me.
He will be here soon. - Let him come.
Your family must be worried about you.
That's okay. - You must be hungry.
I will check if there is anything in the mess. - No.
I will be right back.
Priya!
Let go, Priya! Let go!
Listen to me! What are you doing?
Priya, let go!
Priya, what are you doing?
Priya!
Listen to me!
Oh, Lord. The lover.
I heard that Sagar Kottappuram was here.
I have to talk to him.
You should definitely talk. I am very lucky.
Tell me everything. Tell me.
Don't hold your tongue. Tell me everything.
Isn't Mr. Sagar here?
Who is it? - The lover.
The lover. The lover of the demoness.
What do you want?
I have something to talk to you in private, Mr. Sagar.
Come in.
What?
God is with me, Mr. Ramakrishnan.
Let them speak their heart out.
He'll surely make a story out of it.
Since Sagar is adamant to write only the real incidents..
Let me make a phone call.
Let me make a phone call, my dear.
Hello? Isn't this the office of 'Manchadi'?
I want to speak to Editor Roy.
Hello? Isn't this Roy?
Yes, Mammachan here.
What? Hey, be confident.
By today evening, I'll be there with the material.
Her lover, that rascal
is having a conversation with Sagar now.
I'll call you once again before we leave.
What? Okay.
Oh! Does any of the stupid readers understand
the tension of a magazine owner?
Nobody is there. They've vacated the house.
Where is Priyadarshini?
I had been to her house.
But she doesn't stay there anymore.
She didn't come here. - But you would know about her whereabouts.
Don't be so polite.
Didn't you say that I'm an advocate who takes up cases for money?
I'm not here to pick a fight.
I was unaware of the truth.
I want to meet her. - Why?
Is it to humiliate her again? - Please, Mr. Nambiar.
We agreed to withdraw the case.
She begged to be pardoned. You didn't listen.
Without even considering that she was a woman
you kept on harassing her.
Yes, I agree.
But I am here to rectify my mistakes.
That won't be needed.
You're very late.
What happened?
Tell me. What happened to her?
If you're up for a journey, you can join me.
This.. What are we doing here?
Get down.
Is Priyadarshini here?
You just want to see her, right? I'll show you.
If you still want to harass her, you can do so.
What happened, sir?
Excuse me. Can I meet Dr. Subhash?
May I know your name? - I'm Adv. K. G. Nambiar. - Just a moment.
Yes?
Okay. Let them in.
Good evening, Doctor. - Good evening.
Sit down.
Doctor, he was the person I told you about.
He is responsible for Priyadarshini's present state.
I see.
He wants to meet her now.
You are the one to decide, Doctor.
Why do you want to meet her?
I was unaware of all this, Doctor.
If I am responsible for her trauma
I cannot bear it.
As far as I know
you completely forgot the fact that she was a woman.
Now she is in a very bad shape.
What should I do now, Doctor?
I can take her anywhere for treatment.
Treatment is the same everywhere.
Moreover, we are here to take care of her.
I am sorry, Doctor.
Can you allow me to meet her once?
I cannot let you meet my patient now.
We cannot predict her reaction on seeing you.
Please, Doctor.
I just want to see her once.
Yes. Come with me.
Did she wake up? - No, she is still asleep.
Okay.
He is Vidyasagar.
She is Priyadarshini's aunt.
She is sleeping.
Please. Can I just see her?
'Forgive me. I don't know you.'
'I don't know your dreams.'
'Just know that no matter how much they insisted'
'I was not ready to cheat you intentionally.'
"On the soft feather"
"of an unknown sweet repose"
"you came as the lonely soothing tune"
"of the raindrops falling on a tender leaf"
"with the vibrancy of a rainbow."
"With soft steps"
"and a sweet voice"
"did you come to me back then?"
"Why was I unaware of it?"
"Why was I?"
"On the soft feather"
"of an unknown sweet repose.."
"By that path"
"on a beautiful dusk back then"
"did you stand like a tender flower?"
"By that path"
"on a beautiful dusk back then"
"did you stand like a tender flower?"
"Did you pour your heart out"
"to the gentle wind that brushed your hair?"
"Did all the feathers of desire"
"fall off as a radiant emotion of love?"
"Why was I unaware of it?"
"Why was I?"
"On the soft feather"
"of an unknown sweet repose.."
"Were all the songs"
"that were born from my flute"
"collected in your heart like an ocean of love?"
"Were all the songs"
"that were born from my flute"
"collected in your heart like an ocean of love?"
"Did you wait for me, having collected"
"the precious bits from it?"
"Did all the emotions you felt within"
"come out as gestures of love?"

"With soft steps"
"and a sweet voice"
"did you come to me back then?"
"Why was I unaware of it?"
"Why was I?"
Am I not responsible for her present situation, Ramakrishnan?
We troubled her to the limit.
What all did I write about her?
How do I undo those?
We didn't know all this. - Yes.
Without knowing and enquiring
succumbing to Mammachan's insistence..
Shucks!
I need to make up for it.
There is only one way.
Write what you know in an honest fashion.
If I suddenly write such things.. Will the people believe it?
They will. You must write.
When it is stated that it was her mental illness that caused all this
everything will get justified.
When words are sincere, it will be accepted by the public.
It was a time when she was studying in Ooty
bearing the loneliness and isolation faced
by almost all the children from divorced families.
Jithu, her cousin, studied in the same school in twelfth grade.
They usually headed home for vacations together.
How was your exam? - I managed it somehow.
You always say that.
But in the end, you get a distinction at the least.
Priya, why don't we take the bus after lunch at 3 p.m.?
Why? - For a gathering
organised by Tony Mathews.
Really? - He and Mr. Varghese have arranged food at his villa.
Isn't this our last day in Ooty?
It calls for a small celebration. Just a few of us.
I have informed Jyothi and Sherley.
It will be late by the time we reach home, Jithu.
No. Isn't it my responsibility to get you home safely?
It was a prank played by her friends
during that farewell party
that changed her life completely.
I need to get down! Stop, please.
I must get down!
Priya! What happened?
I don't know.
Priya.
Hey! What happened?
I feel dizzy.
Hello! Is there a hospital nearby?
I don't know.
Priya! Damn!
The hospital is in the town. What happened?
That.. Will we get a taxi?
We can call one up. What happened to her?
Well.. We were on our way home.
Okay. - She started feeling dizzy while in the bus.
She is my cousin. When we celebrated with our friends
she accidentally had some liquor. - I see.
She thought that it was juice.
Is that it? You needn't go to a hospital for that.
I will rent you a room. Hold her under the shower.
She will get better.
Priya..
Did you wake up?
I got scared.
Would anyone fall unconscious by drinking gin?
I made you stand under the shower, but in vain.
It's okay. Get ready fast. We need to leave.
What did you do to me?
What did you do? - Why are you shouting at me?
When you were shivering, I changed your wet clothes.
No.
Which is this place?
Why did you bring me here? Tell me!
What happened here? Tell me!
What are you talking about?
Tell me! What did you do to me?
Priya, I.. - No..
You cheat! No!
Didn't you try to convince her that nothing had happened?
She wasn't ready to believe me.
Actually, she wasn't able to believe me.
So, she went into a trauma that day. - Yes.
She became vengeful.
I went to Madras to pursue my higher studies
to avoid meeting her.
Since my mom, aunt and all our relatives knew the truth
they decided to arrange her marriage with you.
They believed that she would become normal
once she gets married.
But she came to Madras in search of me.
She intended to kill me.
She was admitted to a mental asylum for almost six months.
She never returned home after that.
She stayed in a hostel and pursued her studies.
When she meets me after so many years..
Nothing is going to happen, Mr. Jithu.
She won't be alone.
Your presence might be able to cure her.
No! I don't want any explanation!
This shouldn't have happened when so many of you were on duty.
If anything happens to her, all of you will be held responsible.
What happened, Doctor?
Priya was in her room until she went for a bath.
Now, she is missing.
Isn't Mr. Jithesh here? - No. Who are you?
I am his college mate.
I needed to make some corrections in a building plan.
When I went to his office, I got to know that he's on leave.
Where did he go? - He went to meet someone.
I just have a half-day leave.
Will he return before noon?
He didn't say anything.
Aren't you his wife? - Yes.
What should I do now?
Shall I wait here?
I need some water to drink.
I'll bring the water just now. You can sit there.
Water.
How long have you been married?
It's been two years.
What's your name?
My name.. My name is Shobha.
He might not return before noon.
It's okay. I will wait for him.
He might be back only by evening. - It's okay.
I will leave only after meeting him.
If you give me your phone number, I'll ask Jithu to call you.
I need to meet him in person.
Then, you can come back in the evening.
Didn't I say that I would wait here?
Hello? Is this Prakash?
Y-Yes, I'm Shobha.
Where is Jithu?
Did he tell you anything?
When he reaches, tell him to come here immediately.
Never mind. Can you come here now?
She is here. Priya.
Jithu's old..
Jithu had told me that she was in a mental asylum.
No. I don't know.
I'm getting scared. I'm alone here.
Yes. Okay..
What happened? - Jithu! She is here!
Priya!
Priya..
Hey! Priya!
Priya..
Priya!
No.. As a doctor, I cannot agree to this.
This is not a story in your novel.
It would've been so simple if this was a solution.
Doctor, medicines, treatment.. Nothing would be required.
I've not studied psychiatry.
It is just an attempt.
I feel that this would make everything right.
She is against marriage
since she believes that Jithu had robbed her of her dignity.
We need to prove her wrong.
You're right. But is this a solution?
What is wrong in giving it a try?
Until we convince her that nothing wrong had happened
she will always be vengeful.
She would make such attempts in future.
Isn't it better that we make
an attempt before everything
gets out of hand?
I also support Sagar, Doctor.
But how is it possible? It is impossible!
Doctor, please.
I cannot take up this responsibility.
You can ask her relatives' consent.
They will approve.
Everyone will approve it.
We just need your consent, Doctor.
Oh! Is it already dawn?
It's past 6 a.m.
It's okay.
We can sleep peacefully till 7 a.m. - No!
What is going on here?
Hey! Why are you pretending? Come and sleep next to me.
Hey..
What happened to you.. - Don't touch me!
No wife has ever told her husband
not to touch her after their first night together. - No!
It's bad! Won't people hear us?
Freshen up, go to the kitchen and get me a cup of tea.
Should I tell you all this?
No! This is cheating.
Cheating! - Cheating?
Really? Isn't it common
for a married couple to share their bed
along with their minds and bodies? How can it be cheating?
No.. I won't believe it.
Hey! Shouldn't you believe the truth?
Look at the nuptial chain around your neck.
Look at your sari.
Look at the glass of milk we drank.
Look at the apples and other fruits we ate.
Look at these decorations
these jasmine flowers that were crushed when we hugged each other
the faded mark of vermilion on your forehead, and your messy hair.
If they are true, we are in fact married.
Okay. It's okay if you don't trust me.
It's okay. Come with me.
Come.
Ask your aunt whom you love and trust more than your mother
if this is true or not.
Ask them, who dressed you up and brought you to the venue.
Ask them if I'm cheating you.
Come.
Look at the awning and the decorations.
Isn't it true? Did you forget us getting married
in the presence of hundreds of people?
Did you forget you insisting that we get married at your house
and me agreeing to it? Tell me!
Don't believe me. Ask your most trusted man.
Once you got discharged
weren't you the one who insisted on getting married to him
and to start a new life forgetting the past?
No..
No one has married me.
No one should marry me.
If you believe that he had raped you
when you woke up one fine day many years ago
what happened last night is also true.
If you don't believe this
you must believe that nothing had happened that day.
No!
Priya.
Nothing happened that day.
You still have the purity that every man seeks
in a woman.
Or if such a belief is still in your heart
I am ready to accept you as you are.
For I had loved you long back
without even knowing or seeing you.
When I came to know of everything, your sincerity of not wanting
to cheat the man who was supposed to marry you
that love has only increased.
Hey!
My dear Tahsildar, I've been running around for two days
looking for Sagar. What happened to the climax?
If I don't give the last chapter for composing.. Where is he?
Don't worry, Mammachan.
He is writing the story.
In there.
Let us wait until he comes out
with a happy ending.
"On the soft feather"
"of an unknown sweet repose"
"you came as the lonely soothing tune"
"of the raindrops falling on a tender leaf"
"with the vibrancy of a rainbow."
"With soft steps"
"and sweet voice"
"did you come to me back then?"
"Why was I unaware of it?"
"Why was I?"
"On the soft feather.."
