'Respected people, it is hereby declared that, as the defendant'
'Mouvanchery Gopalakrishna Panikkar has failed to pay
'the plaintiff, Chaarappurayil Kunji Kannan Nair'
'the amount he owes him, the land owned by the defendant'
'which is 77 cents of coconut yard named Kuzhiyilparambu'
'survey number 1358 in the Kolayaar region is being ordered'
'by the 21st verdict, 64th law of civil court'
'to be auctioned and sold publicly.'
People's pride would result in such situations.
He got himself into trouble for marrying off his sisters.
I'm saying the same thing.
There was no need for him to invite the entire village for the feast.
He could have conducted a register marriage.
Even the groom has to agree for it.
They should've convinced the groom.
They now have to let go of 77 cents of fertile land.
You can't come to a conclusion now.
Gopalakrishna Panikkar has mastered
civil and criminal laws better than lawyers.
He is very smart.
Gopalakrishna Panikkar can never outsmart
Nair. - Yes.
'Respected people, it is hereby declared that as the defendant'
'Mouvanchery Gopalakrishna Panikkar'
'has failed to pay the plaintiff, Chaarappurayil Nair'

Geetha..
What a pleasant surprise!
Dear, what happened to you?
Didn't Vijayan come with you?
I have reached here with a lot of difficulty.
I can't even face Vijayan.
How will I return to his house? I will not go back there.
Not just that, my sisters-in-law are always taunting me
saying that the gold that I got as dowry was less.
Geetha, don't cry.
The neighbours may hear you.
We've already faced so much of humiliation.
I heard the announcement in the village.
I was shattered when I heard
that it was Gopalakrishna Panikkar's land.
It is our fate, dear.
Are your back from your typing classes? - Yes.
Brother-in-law, when did you come? - Just now.
Where is my sister, Geetha? - She is inside.
I had a feeling that you might come today.
I had told mother about it.
Didn't I, Mother?
Keep those books inside and get some milk.
I have to make tea for Vijayan.
Mother, please let me spend some time with sister.
Get the milk first.
Why is sister so sad?
How can anyone be happy?
We have lost everything.
Go. Leave us alone for some time.
You haven't bought me a wardrobe
even after so many days of marriage.
I am not able to face my sisters-in-law.
Gopalakrishna has ordered the carpenter, Kunjunni
to make a wardrobe.
You say it every time.
I don't need anything.
Our land is getting auctioned.
My sisters-in-law are not going to respect me.
We have not committed any burglary.
Hadn't we taken loans for your and your elder sister's marriages?
Didn't father write the property in brother's name
with the hope that he would take care of us?
He has taken advantage of this land
but hasn't created anything on his own.
The land is auctioned.
He has taken loan on the house as well, right?
Our house will be auctioned next.
Don't say that, dear. - Why shouldn't I?
Isn't there a case regarding this house?
Brother is always busy with court cases.
Sisters-in-law make fun of him saying that he is a court addict.
Doesn't your sisters-in-law have any other work
apart from taunting others?
Mother, there's no use blaming them.
Brother goes to the court for even the smallest of issues.
Mother, ask brother to transfer the house in the town to my name.
Or he will lose that as well.
Just because you got married, don't demean your brother.
Stop!
Who has to get down? - It's me..
Give me a way. Move aside. - Make it fast..
Hey, child, don't stamp my legs. - I'm sorry.
Get lost. - My God! - Move aside. - Move!
Get lost. - My God, it's difficult to get out of this bus!
Get lost. - Where do these people come from?
You must take a taxi. Let's go..
Let's move.
Gopalakrishna, what's going on? - What happened?
Didn't you hear the announcement in the village? - Is that so?
Yes, the entire village knows the truth.
What's there to worry about?
We have heard of court case issues before
but for the first time, we've heard this kind of announcement.
When educated people are involved in court cases
people do get to see such entertaining stuff.
Mr. Anandan, this case involves civil procedures.
Announcements don't always end in auction.
Now, it is time for injunction.
What injection? - I did not mean that.
It's temporary injunction.
Do you know what is the punishment for violation of injunction?
They'll arrest you.
It's the law of the court.
I didn't get you.
You won't.
Even my lawyer did not understand that.
Though I explain everything to him clearly
he forgets it in front of the magistrate.
One thing I like about him is that he doesn't charge much.
Moreover, he cannot ask me for it as well.
Because of my influence
he has managed to get a few contacts in the civil court.
Are you sure the auction won't take place?
In a war, both sides are bound to lose something.
This is a beautiful war.
That's all I can say for now. I will leave.
I saw you going there. - There are guests at home.
Wait.
Don't give excuses, Usha. - I am going.
Why didn't you tell me that
the timing of your classes has been changed?
I waited for you for an hour near your institute.
Oh, God! Brother.
What were you talking to her?
No, I was talking about the typewriter.. - What..
I've been watching you for the past few days.
You defame respected people, right?
What is it? Don't try to scare me.
I am in love with your sister. Go file a case against me.
Case? You idiot!
Usha!
Vijayan, when did you come?
It's been a while. - Have a seat.
Why are you holding a stick? - Nothing.
You must be returning from the court, right?
No, I had gone to the register office to make a copy
of the property papers.
I will keep this inside.
Usha!
Come here!
I said, come here.
Come here. I will..
What happened, Gopalakrishna?
We are already facing so many problems.
I will kill you. - Vijayan is sitting outside.
Why were you talking to that loafer?
I was getting milk and on the way... - On the way, what?
I did not talk to him. - I saw you.
Is it true? I will not spare you.
I will stop your typing classes. I won't let you out of this house.
We've come to this state after getting two girls married.
Fall in love with anyone you want. I have no problem.
But you must elope with him.
I can't afford to conduct another marriage
by giving dowry and feasts to the people.
Gopalakrishna, talk softly. Vijayan may hear you.
You go inside.
Your other sister is sitting inside. She's upset.
She isn't concerned about the auction of the land
but about the wardrobe we were supposed to give her.
Where is she? - She is inside.
Geetha, I have started to realise the importance of a wardrobe
in a marital relationship.
Don't worry.
No matter what, I will send the wardrobe next week.
Father used to say that false promises can never help anyone.
Father must have said many things.
What do you want?
Land is under auction and there's a case on this house.
All this can't be retrieved by a wardrobe.
We are only left with the house in the town.
I took loan on the land to give dowry to your sister
and mortgaged this house for your marriage.
You are right.
But didn't you think as to how you would pay it back?
Yes, I thought of everything.
I started the coconut and vegetable business
keeping this in mind.
But that didn't work out. All this is common in business.
Do you see that coconut tree?
Father brought this from the block office when I was eight years old.
Now, 24 years have gone by.
I am sure you can guess my age.
All of you are married and settled.
What about me?
For whom am I doing all this? Tell me!
I won't deny any of that.
Then just shut up!
What about the land and the house?
They will be auctioned!
Vijayan wants to go back. Come with me.
Mother, sit here.
I want to talk to you.
If it's about the land, don't say anything to me.
I don't want to dishearten myself.
Just sit here.
Are you angry with me? - For what?
Do you think all this happened because of my irresponsibility?
Everyone goes through bad times.
We must consider it as our fate.
I am saying this since we don't have any other option.
Both the land and the house may get auctioned.
We can't blame Kunji Kannan Nair.
We couldn't repay his loan amount.
What are you doing there?
Haven't I told you not to eavesdrop when elders are speaking? Go!
Mother, if you agree, we can repay the loan and live peacefully.
I can't find any other solution to this problem.
Let aside the consequences, let's sell the house in town.
Is that necessary?
Can't the auction be postponed?
We can postpone it by one month.
What will we do after that? The loan on this house is pending.
Aren't we getting Rs. 200 as rent?
Mother, do you think I am unaware of it?
For now, we must restore our dignity in the village.
What do you think is more important?
I have mentioned this matter to Kunji Kannan Nair.
If we transfer that house to his name
after deducting our loan amount, he will give us Rs. 50,000.
I have planned to set up a business in the town with that money.
So, have you already decided?
Have I ever done anything without your consent?
What can we do?
We must save this house and the land.
That's what I told you.
I'll talk to Kunji Kannan Nair tomorrow.
Tell the lawyer that I won't go anywhere.
He is an idiot.
I must go to Trivandrum tomorrow.
My brother-in-law is arriving from Dubai. - I see.
I will surely come to the office the day after tomorrow. Okay?
You didn't meet him. So he sent me to enquire.
Why? Can't he sleep without seeing me?
I know that he wants money.
Here, take this for the time being.
Once everything is sorted out, I will pay you handsomely.
Okay? - Yes.
What do we do?
We will meet later. You carry on.
You embarrassed me
and proved to everyone that I'm stone hearted.
Are you satisfied now?
Mr. Kunji Kannan, you must be satisfied too.
You announced it in the entire village.
I am telling you the same thing, too.
Everyone feels that I was cruel to you.
When I talk about the money you owe me
no one has an explanation for that.
I never refused to repay you.
What's the use of postponing the repayment till death?
Don't you know that it's my brother-in-law's money?
He is arriving from Dubai tomorrow.
What will I answer him, if he asks for his money?
At least now I got an assurance.
My house in the town.. - Don't talk about that.
Gopalakrishna, the verdict for the other case will be announced soon.
Don't bring me a bad name that I threw you out of the house.
Nothing as such would happen.
My house in the town..
You have been telling about that house since a long time.
Mother was not agreeing until now.
Did she agree now? - I convinced her.
I have no intentions of cheating anyone.
Like you said before, take the money that I owe you
and give the remaining amount to me.
Are you serious?
Do you think I will joke about it?
My father built that house with his hard earned money
while he worked as a clerk at the RTO office.
Don't talk about those virtues.
Nobody works hard at the RTO office.
They can easily buy a house.
So let that be.
Why are you blaming my dead father?
We are not fortunate enough to enjoy the money.
Anyway, please get a stay order for the land auction.
We will have to make a new agreement then.
Okay. - We'll do the registration
only after you vacate that house.
Yes, I will do that. - Who is staying there now?
My father knew them.
They keep writing letters about the bad condition of the house.
I have never gone there.
They are good people. They pay the rent on time.
Ask them to vacate. - I will do that.
You will get a one month stay on the auction.
You must get the house vacated and registered in my name
within that time. I will clear you of all your debts.
Mention all these points and get the agreement done.
Now, the witnesses. Please write your name and sign.
Oh! Don't you know to write your name?
Sign here.
You sign here.
Gopalakrishna Panikkar, by the 31st of this month
you must make sure that the tenants vacate the house.
I have written a letter to them.
They can find another house in the city.
They will move as soon as they get the letter.
I'll only have to go there to collect the keys.
Oh! I am late yet again today.
Mother, please come here. It's getting late!
Let the athlete return home today.
She has no plans of going to school on time.
Mother! - You are our only saviour, Lord Guruvayurappa.
My children lost their father.
If I die, there will be no one for them.
Please, get a better job for Meera.
Help Deepa pass her exams.
I am more worried about Monukuttan.
He is only bothered about eating.
I want him to become a doctor.
Monukuttan!
Wait there!
Mother, stop praying now.
Come to the kitchen. I have to take a bath.
Your doctor is stealing Dosa from the kitchen.
I will smack him!
He is still stealing food even after repeated warnings.
Dear, he may be hungry.
Mother, you are spoiling him.
Sister, we ran till Nehru park.
I did not feel tired at all.
Have you stopped studying?
Sister, I finished my homework last night.
Don't you have anything to study?
Teacher told me that I have to run at least for one hour daily.
That's the secret of Usha's stamina.
Which Usha? - P.T. Usha.
Teacher says that I run just like Usha.
Teacher told me. - Go inside!
Dear, go and take a bath.
Doctor will come again in the kitchen to steal food.
You go inside, Mother.
Don't you need your books?
I forgot about that.
Anyway, taking them along doesn't make any difference.
It's already late. Bye, Mother. - Bye.
Not even a single bus has come in half an hour. - Half an hour?
The bridge, which is always under construction
might have collapsed into the backwaters.
There is a strike every day. - Yes..
It's the same story throughout the year.
Don't wait for the bus.
You can expect the next bus for the next Christmas.
There's a strike going on here.
For what? - God knows.
We are going to the temple to ask the same.
You can follow, if you wish to. - Yes.
Come, let's go.
Auto rickshaw..
Where to? - This way.
Which place? - College junction.
Is it okay if I drop you there? - For now, that's okay.
It will cost Rs. 15. - To go where?
You said college junction, right? - Yes.
I will take Rs. 15. - I will give you as per the meter.
Meter is not working. I won't find customers there.
That won't happen. College junction is not in a forest.
You will find humans there. - I don't want to argue.
Why don't you park your vehicle in a shed
and ask money from people using a gun?
That would be a better way of earning money.
Good morning, sir.
There's a bus strike going on.
Then how did the others manage to come? - That is..
You can mark half day leave if you wish to.
To tell you the truth, the rickshaw driver asked for more money.
I didn't have that much money with me.
Thank you, sir.
You have a reason for everything. But don't repeat it.
How did you reach on time?
I know that you wouldn't take an auto or a taxi.
You've tagged me as a miser. - Yes.
Tell me the truth, how did you reach on time?
I smiled at a man on a motor bike.
As I guessed it, he was a casanova.
He stopped his bike.
I got onto it and came here. - Then?
Then what? Nothing.
Didn't he trouble you?
Not really.
He asked me if I could meet him in the evening. I agreed.
Will you meet him?
I told him that I worked in the collector's office
and got down there. I walked to our office from there.
Let him wait for me there from 4 p.m.
What do I have to lose?
These vegetables are stale.
None are of good quality. - All are fresh. - Not really.
Give 100 grams of okra. - There's a letter for Karthyayani.
For me? - Yes.
Take the letter.
Damodaran might have sent you a letter.
But this is not his handwriting.
Oh, God! - What happened? - Is your brother ill?
Where will I go with my children?
Our house owner is moving here with his family.
He wants us to vacate the house. - What?
Ayesha, stop gossiping and make something to eat.
I am hungry.
Come here. - Why?
Come. - What is it?
The owner has sent a letter asking them to vacate the house.
Really? Show me the letter.
Meera, you are back.
Convince your mother.
I am fed up of telling her. - Mother, what happened?
Nothing. I had advised her in the morning.
She has forgotten everything now, like a child.
What's the matter?
She got a letter asking to vacate the house. That's all.
The owner can write anything like that.
It is our choice whether to vacate or not.
Ummer is right. - Am I not?
Yes. If you have paid the rent regularly
there's no need to vacate the house.
Even if you vacate, won't you get another house?
Don't interfere. Stop talking rubbish.
Why go to another house?
As long as we are here
you needn't worry about vacating the house.
What is his name? Gopala Panicker?
Gopalakrishna Panikkar. - It doesn't matter who he is.
He won't be able to vacate you from here.
Write a letter to him saying your neighbours are here to support you.
Yes. - Come, sir.
Will you take a lot of time? - No.
Just a minute. - Okay.
Where is Mrs. Karthyayani?
Are you from the chit fund company? - No, I am planning to start one.
I am coming from my house. Isn't Mrs. Karthyayani here?
Who are you? - Are you her son?
First, tell me who you are? - Where's your mother?
Don't be angry! - Move aside.
You can't get inside. - Hey, kid, I am the owner of this house.
Tell your mother that house owner, Gopalakrishna Panikkar, has come.
Get going. Go.
Mother, go out there.
Actually.. Dear, why don't you tell him?
Mother, don't fret.
He will take you seriously.
Yes.
But what do I tell him?
Should I teach you to talk?
What if he asks the reason for not vacating?
Tell him that we can't afford to vacate the house right now.
Is that enough? - Yes. - Okay.
Why don't you tell him?
Oh, Lord Guruvayurappa.
We won't vacate the house.
I have nothing more to say.
I am your house owner.
I had sent you a letter. My name is Gopalakrishna Panikkar.
Panikkar, don't talk more.
All I have to say is that we can't vacate.
How dare you talk like this to the house owner?
I let you stay here for nine years for such a meagre rent.
How dare you refuse to vacate it?
Tell me.
I wrote many letters asking you to repair the pipeline and tank.
But you did not turn up.
Oh, there are more people here.
I don't talk to women.
I will talk only to male members of the family.
Your father.. - What?
Your father rented this house to us
with a promise that we'd never have to vacate it.
Have you ever come here once?
How would we know that you are the house owner?
Are you teaching me the law?
I have no time to talk to you.
I am moving in with my family.
Only when we find such a house
will we move from here. - You..
Wait, I am coming.
I thought you would've vacated
the moment you received my letter.
The kid who opened the door for me
gave me a picture about your family.
Don't try to fool me.
I am good to people who are good to me
or else I am really bad.
We are paying you rent to stay here.
Your rent is not enough for us to even buy fish for a meal.
Rent..
Don't annoy me.
If you don't vacate, I will throw you out of the house.
How can you throw them away so easily?
Did you ask the rickshaw driver to wait? He is honking.
Tell me whether you will vacate today or tomorrow.
I think he is the house owner. - I see.
What's your name? Krishnanunni Panicker?
No, Gopalakrishna Panikkar.
Mr. Panikkar, is this your tactic to increase the rent?
Don't think that there aren't any men here to stop you.
Who are you to ask? This is my house.
We have all made a decision.
Karthyayani and family will continue to stay here.
I have not asked you to take decisions on my behalf.
For nine years.. - Let it be any number of years.
I am going to vacate them.
Panikkar, if you threaten us, you will face the consequences.
What will you do?
Do you know what the Building Lease and Rent Control Act says?
If I file a case, the police will throw them out from here.
In section 11, according to the 3rd law
tenants must vacate, if the house owner wants to stay in the house.
No one need teach me the law.
Even if you say that you are entitled for encumbrance
as you lived in the house for nine years, it won't help you.
You cannot go to land tribunal and postpone the case as well.
If the place is worth more than Rs. 750
no one can help you get an encumbrance.
So, there's no use of..
There's no use of filing a case.
I have been waiting for long.
You can go if you are in a hurry. I am going crazy.
Listen, I am giving you a last warning.
Don't irritate me.
You spoke about so many laws now.
We will seek help from some good lawyers.
These people will fall into trouble
because of foolish neighbours like you.
Watch your words!
You will face problems if you don't listen to me.
I will take you all to the court! Each one of you!
Let's go.
It was foolish of you to act like that.
You should have been a bit more diplomatic.
I got irritated by the way the old woman spoke to me.
That's a lame excuse.
Court cases would prolong for at least six years.
I am aware of that.
You have only one month with you.
What do I tell my brother-in-law?
Shall I bring some coffee?
First, we'll solve this problem. Then we can have coffee.
What should I do now?
Politely request them and tell them about your problems.
I can't share my problems with them.
Neither will I let go of my self-respect.
Let me see if diplomacy and politeness will work.
But if that idea delays, our.. - It's not going to happen.
No, I just told you my opinion.
Sister, my teacher gave this to me.
'Eatables are classified into seven categories.'
'One: Leafy vegetables, turnip, carrot, etc.'
'Second: Tomato, lemon, etc.'
'Third: Fruits and green vegetables.'
'Fourth: Egg and fish.'
What is this?
It's a list of nutritious food. - Yes.
Teacher told me to eat a lot of fruits.
Really? Then ask her to buy them for you. Go.
Mother, bye.
I behaved rudely with all of you yesterday.
That was not right on my part.
Is your mother angry at me? - Not at all.
She is a woman like my mother.
I brought some betel leaves for her.
My mother doesn't eat betel leaf.
Oh! Is that so? Where are you going?
Did you file a case? - What are you saying?
How can I file a case against you?
I said that in a fit of anger.
Is your mother inside? - Why?
I want to talk to her.
No need. My mother hasn't forgotten
what you told her yesterday.
I think you are still angry with me.
We were never friends in the first place.
Hello, is that your sister?
Hi, dear! - Get lost!
I'm getting late for office.
Carry on. I will talk to your mother for some time.
Are you bent upon troubling others?
I am the one who takes care of everything here, not my mother.
What's the matter?
Mr. Ummer, this man is bothering us again.
I must leave. Please advise him.
You carry on. Don't worry.
What's the matter, Panikkar? - What?
I am asking you the same question.
Doesn't a house owner.. - What? - I'm not talking to you.
Doesn't a house owner have the right to talk to his tenant?
I have realised that it is futile being good to you.
You said that you are the caretaker of the house.
Just by shouting at others, you can't become significant.
Everyone must have dignity. It's totally absent in your family.
Mister, this is a bus stop. - I know that.
I see, you are bothered about the onlookers.
Let them hear. Someone might understand my problems.
Where are you going all decked up?
Are you showing off that you are a working woman?
I won't let you go.
I came here to compromise, but you insulted me.
Hey, mister! - What, mister?
It is not right to fight with women on the road.
Is that so?
What bothers you?
Are you a judge to decide right and wrong?
If yes, tell them to vacate my house.
I can't take it anymore.
I'll leave only after a decision is taken.
Are you trying to scare me?
You can go to the office later.
Tell me your decision.
Get down..
Ask that girl to get down.
Stop the bus! That girl..
This state will never prosper! Never!
Whether socialists
communists or Congress come to power
good things are not meant for us.
The Building, Lease and Rent Control Act was passed
just to misguide house owners.
You shouldn't have remained silent.
You must have hurled abuses at him in front of people.
No, I too would've looked uncivilised like him.
Civilised? That's the only medicine for such people.
If I were in your place, I would have slapped him.
What if he slapped me back?
He would not be spared for slapping a woman.
Don't you know that people support women in such cases?
People are dying to become heroes for beautiful girls.
He's not an easy man to deal with, as you think.
He can do anything.
He is quite rich and arrogant as well.
Are you going to vacate the house?
Out of fear? Never.
We are staying in that house for the past nine years.
How can we vacate?
Mr. Ummer advised us not to vacate the house.
That's right.
My son's caretaker is not feeling well.
I am taking a half day's leave. I will meet you tomorrow. - Okay.
I think I have to take loan from provident fund.
Arrears will always remain the same.
Hello.. - We can expect it in the pension.
Give these files in the office.
Okay. - I will tell them about it.
This file, too.
May I help.. - No, actually... - What do you want?
I am her house owner. We want to discuss a problem.
You can't meet anyone during the office hours. - Yes, I can.
I have gone to high court.. Oh, sorry.
I have met people during office hours.
What? - I want to talk to that girl.
I have been looking for you since morning.
I have not had anything to eat today.
You are enjoying here, while I was standing outside.
Get up. - Throw him out of the office!
What? - Get out.. - I have come here to talk about my problems.
Go away.. - Can't a house owner speak about his problems?
Get out.. - You can't fool me.
You can't throw me out. - Go out..
Go.. - Gopalakrishna Panikkar has never tasted defeat. My bag..
My bag! I will show you.
I will come back with more vigour. Wait for me.
Hey, get out.. - What's the problem?
Who is he? - Who is he..
Holy light..
Oh, Lord Rama, Oh, Lord Krishna.
Mother, where is Monukuttan?
Even I'm looking for him.
He kept his books and ran off without even having coffee.
He might have gone to play.
Mother, don't be too lenient towards him.
Dear, I am really worried.
Are we doing something wrong?
What wrong?
Panikkar.. - Do you know how much he insulted me today?
If he is adamant, I am too.
Whatever it is, this house belongs to him.
Mother, can you vacate this house so easily?
I can't even think about it.
Have you lost something?
If I have lost something, I will find it without your help.
I don't need your help.
My leg.. - Sorry.
Move aside. You are standing here.
I am not going to leave you.
If you think you can defeat me, you are wrong.
No matter what happens, we won't leave the house.
Is that your ancestral property?
It is my father's hard-earned.. - I don't care!
You told that you will file a case. - I have no mood to file a case.
I will throw every.. - Conductor.
Is he your servant?
Why are you fighting in the bus? - Get lost.
A house owner's problems.. - What is it?
This man is troubling me. - Really?
Conductor, stop the bus!
Throw this man out of the bus. - You scoundrel.
He was troubling this lady for so long.
Get down the bus. - Don't hit me.
I will hit back. - Get out..
Get hold of him.
I hurt my leg. Hold him. - No..
Don't leave him. - I've been watching him for some time now.
Take this. - Goodness!
Catch him..
Let's go! - Come on!
Don't hit me. I'll hit you.
Get lost! - Don't leave him..
Run! The police are here! - Come.
Sir! I..
Rajendran? - Rascal.
Are you fighting on the road? - But I am your..
Get into the jeep. - Didn't you recognise me?
Shut up! - We were together in SME school.. - Shut up.
Get down.
Go to the station. I will come later. - Yes, sir.
Come inside.
Come in.
Do you know what the punishment is for fighting on the road?
There's no bigger punishment than a friend, who was also a classmate
for ten years, refusing to recognise you.
Recognition!
Were you in such a state?
If I had not known you
I wouldn't have spared you.
Hit me now. Come on!
Your thrashing wouldn't be more painful than you calling me
a rascal when you met me after so many years.
Gopalakrishna, I'm a police inspector now.
Don't you have humanity? - Yes. I have.
But truth and justice come first.
I am indebted to this uniform.
Come, have a seat. - No, I will leave.
I will leave before you abuse me again.
It's not the S.I, but your friend Rajendran who asked you to sit.
I don't have the ability to see two people in one.. - Just sit.
Come, sit here. Come on!
Have you heard about Kottappalli Sulaimaan?
No. - He was a rowdy who had terrified the town.
He was a notorious criminal and a law breaker.
He used to work for rich people.
He was a friend of politicians.
On the third day of my service as an S.I
I trapped him in a historical encounter.
That was the beginning of my success story.
The journey of a boy from elementary school
to the S.I. standing in front of you
was a phenomenal one.
Today, I have no sensitive feelings or humanity.
I am a lion that is ready to pounce on criminals and tear them.
I didn't know that you had become so mighty.
Do you stay here? - Yes.
Are you alone? Why didn't you marry?
I won't marry in this life. - Why?
Gopalakrishna, a policeman is a hermit. - What?
A hermit sacrifices his life for self-realisation while
a policeman sacrifices his life for his country.
Truth and justice are my wives.
My life is not to be destroyed for a woman.
My God!
You have become so great.
Yes. Now tell me
why were you fighting on the road?
I will tell you.. - Okay.
One of them tried to humiliate your department.
What? Who is that? I won't spare them. - Calm down. Listen to me.
Make it quick. - I had given a house on rent. - Yes.
They don't give me the rent on time. - I see.
I asked them to vacate, but they didn't. - Okay.
Finally, I told them that I will lodge a police complaint.
So, the mother and the daughter said..
What did they say? - They said that
they weren't scared of the police. They called you an idiot. - Oh.
That you were an incapable officer. - Stop!
Gopalakrishna, enough! I want to meet them right away.
What? - I want to seek revenge now. Come with me! - What?
Who insulted the police department?
Who spoke ill about the police? - Here.. These people.
Open the door!
Ayesha! Ayesh.. - What?
Come out and stand here.
Come on.
Did you insult the police? - What?
Did you insult the police? - Oh, he is killing me.
Hey, don't beat her. - Leave my stick.. - I won't..
I want to beat her.
It's my request. Don't beat anyone.
I want justice.. - Rajendran, don't hit her.
Leave this.. - I will.. - Don't beat her.
Just tell them to vacate the house.
We will beat them up later.
I won't have the time later. I'll do it now.
Rajendran, leave this. - I want to hit her.. - Don't do it..
Ask them to vacate the house. - What? - Just ask them to vacate.
Will that do? - Ask them to vacate. - I will do that then. - Yes.
Okay. Come and stand here.
Come on!
I won't hit you.
Within 24 hours, if you don't vacate the house
I will thrash all of you.
Okay. - Police.. - Don't hit her. - Lord Guruvayurappa.
Now that you have come here, just threaten the neighbours too.
Nobody is scared of the police here.
Whoever isn't scared of the police, come and fight with me.
I'm S.I. Rajendran, who caught Kottappalli Sulaimaan.
I'm warning you, vacate this house within 24 hours.
He is my classmate.
If you trouble him
the police department won't spare you. Remember that!
Get into the jeep.
I will be back.
Everyone will be beaten up.
Mr. Ummer, why did the police come here?
I don't know the reason.
I fell asleep while reading my younger brother's letter
and brother-in-law's draft from Dubai.
Ayesha told me that the police had come. What was it, dear?
They have asked you to vacate the house within 24 hours.
Panikkar is not a simpleton.
The inspector is his friend.
What friend? I was asleep.
Or I wouldn't have spared the inspector and Panikkar.
You just stay quiet.
I want to meet the inspector.
You can go.
Yes? Inspector Rajendran here.
You are right. I thrashed them.
I have no sympathy for criminals.
I don't care if you are from the ruling or opposition party.
All I care is if the accused has committed the crime.
Yes, I don't have fear.
I always support the truth.
I have worn this uniform to execute justice.
No, there's nothing to let go.
Yes?
Please, have a seat. What is the matter?
Please forgive me if I am wrong. - No, I won't.
Sir, I needn't fear, if whatever you said on the phone is true.
What did I say on the phone? - You said
that truth and justice will prevail.
Yes, it's true.
I caught Kottappalli Sulaimaan.
So, I will get justice. Right?
Not just you, everyone will get justice.
Sir, will you support a person who asks us to vacate a house
in which we have been staying for nine years?
Who are you? - I am Meera.
My mother fell sick, fearing you.
Sir, you had come to our house with Panikkar.
Are you that arrogant lady? - Sir?
Get up! Get up, I say!
Why have you come here for justice without paying him the rent?
Without paying the rent?
Sir, I have the receipt for the rent that I have paid.
Really? - I have it since I have sent him the rent.
Panikkar has lied to an honest man like you.
No, Panikkar is my friend.
Come on!
Sir, this man was creating a nuisance in the liquor shop.
Is that him? - No sir, it's not me.
Put him behind bars! - Get inside.
I am very strict.
Very strict.
So, is it true that you pay the rent regularly? - Sir?
Is it true that you pay the rent regularly?
Yes, sir. I have the receipt.
That's not the only accusation.
Didn't you say that the police are useless and the S.I
which is me, was an idiot? - Sir? - Get out!
Why would I say that you are an idiot?
I have heard a lot about you.
Can anyone say such things about you?
We will vacate if it is proved that we have not paid the rent.
But if proved otherwise, can we stay there?
It's like..
No one else can give us justice, except you.
Let me think.
Don't cry. Wipe your tears.
You can go now. You will get justice.
Is it true, sir?
S.I. Rajendran is promising you. You can go now.
Thank you, sir.
Wait.
Go.
What is the reason for this change of heart?
You lied to me that they were not paying the rent.
Who told you that?
I made enquiries. - I didn't ask you to enquire.
Do you think that the police are your slaves to obey you?
They insulted the police. - I don't believe that.
They bribed you, right?
Gopalakrishna!
I'm allergic to the word 'bribe'.
Why did you stop? Beat me.
Beat up your best friend.
Truth and justice are more important than friendship for me.
Nonsense. - Gopalakrishna.
This uniform has made you insane.
It has made you ungrateful.
Rajendran, how many times have I bought
lunch for you during the school days?
Have you forgotten all that?
You are petty.. - You are stupid.. - Shut up. - Just get lost!
I won't care that you are an S.I.
I will beat you to pulp.
I don't need your help.
Haven't you caught Kottappalli Sulaimaan?
Deal with me if you have the courage.
Disloyal and untrustworthy man!
Meera. Nice name.
How long have the tenants been staying there?
That is not an issue, sir.
I have no plans of filing a case and vacating them from there.
Why do you need a lawyer then? - Sir, let me complete.
Yes, tell me.
For these many years, the house owner
that's me, has been staying in the disputed house.
But now, some people are threatening
the house owner to leave.
Hence, the house owner, Gopalakrishna
must be protected from them at the earliest.
Such a temporary injunction must be given.
What is the use of that? House owner is not staying there.
House owner is going to move there.
The tenants must agree to that.
I will take care of that.
Since you know all these things, I don't think you need a lawyer.
No, before requesting the injunction
I will try to vacate the tenants by harassing them. - Okay.
If I succeed, I won't have to file a case.
Then we can meet after that.
But there's a problem.
If they file a police complaint against me that I'm troubling them
the police can arrest me.
You must come forward and bail me out.
You are clever.
Even the police won't dare to challenge you.
Don't they have the proof that they are staying there
since nine years? - What proof?
The receipts of the money order sent to you as rent.
Let them keep the receipts to themselves.
I will lie in the court that they had borrowed money from me.
Hey, get up. - What? - Get up!
Get up!
Lawyers will lose their jobs if people like you are encouraged.
Sir, I will need your help.
I will need your help if I have to move to the chamber
for requesting the intervention of a commission.
If the violation of injunction is proved
you'll have to get the tenants arrested.
I will need your law degree for all this.
So, you need my degree, not me.
I have learnt all this on the court corridor.
I don't want that.
You didn't need my advice.
No, please don't refuse.
We must give fees when we meet a lawyer.
Or I won't be able to sleep.
If you are so adamant, keep it below this.
So, I am going to force myself into that house.
Try it. All the best.
Panikkar, are you going to sell these at the temple ground?
The problem is solved now. Let them live peacefully.
Yes, right. - What's your name?
Ummer. Where are you going with the luggage?
I scolded that old woman.
So, I brought her some gifts as a penance for my mistakes.
I want to apologise.
We will meet again if I come back.
Poor fellow. He is such a kind-hearted man.
He empathised with them.
Keep it here.
Share this amongst yourselves. - Rs. 2? - That's enough. Go.
Ma'am, forgive me. - What are you doing?
I apologise for everything.
We won't move here.
You can stay here for any number of years.
You have paid the rent regularly.
You have maintained the house so well.
I was cruel to you.
Please, forgive me. - Panikkar, what are you doing?
You have made no mistake.
Anyone in your position would've reacted the same way.
You have a big heart.
I have got the right punishment for my mistake.
Somebody stole Rs. 6,000 from the lodge I was staying in.
What? - I want it back.
Rs. 6,000? - Yes. Rs. 6,000.
I left from that lodge right away.
Why did you stay in a lodge?
I had certain contract work to get done.
I have to get the payment for my work.
I have to visit the engineer's office daily.
Who stays in this room? - No one.
I thought so.
I will get the money in two days.
I can't go to that lodge again.
Can I stay in this room for two days?
I won't disturb anyone.
Actually..
Ma'am, please consider me as your son.
It's not like that. How can I refuse you?
Isn't this your house?
No, I haven't come here with that right.
I have nowhere else to go.
Shall I keep the things inside? - Things?
I am eccentric.
Be it a lodge or a house
I sleep only in my bed and cook for myself. - Oh.
So, I carry everything with me.
I'll keep everything inside.
Hold this suitcase.
Please move aside.
Hello, what are you doing here?
I am coming from the office.
Oh, I see. Did you see him after that?
No, sir. - Okay.
I slapped him in the name of truth and justice.
He went back, crying like a dog.
But he is a crook.
If he ever disturbs you again, come to me.
Thank you, sir. - It's my duty.
Excuse me.
I am going to Hubli, to get hold of Sukumara Kurup.
Is he there? - Yes.
I don't think he will escape this time.
We will meet once I'm back.
Okay? - Okay, sir.
Meera.
Nothing.
Sister, Panikkar has come here with his luggage.
Why? - He says that he is going to stay here.
He is in that room.
Where is he? - He has not gone out.
Mother.
I was just cleaning some rice.
Rice is so costly these days.
Move aside.
Mother, who gave him permission to enter that room?
Did you allow him?
He will leave after two days.
Let alone two days, he must not stay here even for two minutes.
Dear, how can we refuse? Isn't this his house?
No. As long as we pay rent, it's our house.
Shameless man. He is cleaning rice in our kitchen.
He says rice is costly. What should I do for that?
Ask him to leave right now.
Dear, it's a matter of just two days.
Mother, I am fed up with you.
He has come here with his bed and utensils.
That's his nature.
He sleeps on his own bed and cooks his own food.
Some people are like that. They do everything on their own.
Let him go to his house and do everything on his own.
He has some work at the engineer's office.
It's just a matter of two days.
Can't he stay in a lodge?
He faced problems there. - What?
Someone stole Rs. 6,000 from his room in the lodge.
Poor fellow.
He is lying.
There's no bigger thief than him in this world.
Will you ask him to get out?
How can I say that?
Let me light the lamp before that.
Holy.. - Holy light.
Holy light..
Holy light.
"I was born as a human on this earth"
"but I am in hell now."
"Take me out of this hell"
"Oh, Lord Shiva, who resides at Vaikom."
"I was born.." - Mother, what's all this?
"...on this earth.." - Do you understand now?
"...but I am.." - Ask him to get out.
"...in hell now." - He is trying to prove that it's his house.
"Take me out of this hell" - Hey, man. We will light the lamp
"Oh, Lord Shiva" - and pray in this house.
Please, don't disturb during evening prayers.
God will punish. - Is there a greater punishment than you?
"I was born as a human on this earth"
"but I am in hell now."
Stop and go away. - "Take me out of this hell"
God will get angry, if we disturb someone during prayers.
Mother, keep quiet. - Dear, listen to me.
"Oh, Lord Shiva" - We will talk to him after his prayers.
Come with me. Salutations to Lord Shiva.
"Oh! Lord Shiva. Oh! Lord Shiva."
"I was born as human on this earth"
"but I am in hell now."
"In your youth"
"you looked like a lotus bud."
He is so fat. He might be eating a lot.
Please, don't look at me like that. I will turn into ashes.
Bring some water in that bucket.
Bring some water for the house owner. - Get lost!
What? How dare you say like that to the house owner?
He's killing me! Sister.. - I will.. - What happened?
This man hit me. - Mother, this man is beating Monukuttan.
He's lying. I did not beat this devil.
Our patience has reached the limit. I will show you.
Monukuttan, come here. - Give this to me.
I have been avoiding this for a long time.
I can't take this anymore! - Hey, wait. My bag!
Hey, what is this? Hey, kid. Go away. - What's happening?
Move aside, Mother. - My stove.. - Lord Guruvayurappa, what's this?
Hey, what are you doing? - Move aside..
Lord Guruvayurappa. - What are you doing?
Don't break the utensils. - Get lost.
My Lord Gopalakrishna's photo. - Get lost from here.
You think that we have no guardians. - Move.
I have tolerated you for long. I can't take it anymore. - Dear..
Get lost from here! - Stop it.. - Dear, don't..
I can't take it anymore.. - Stop.. - What is it?
Don't go there.
What do you mean? Hey, Narayanan Nair!
This house.. - Move away, boy. - I will..
What is it, Ummer? - Oh, God..
I think that man has gone mad. Come, let's tie him up.
I am going to drop my kids at school.
Come. - I have a conscience.
You don't have to go there. - Shut up and go inside.
Nair, come along.
Leave me.. - Oh, God.. - Allah! He is a scoundrel.
I will teach him a lesson. - Don't do anything. - Leave me..
I won't.. - Please don't do anything. - Go away.
Oh, Lord! - Oh, God.
Our neighbours are all scoundrels!
No one even bothered to drop in.
I will kill him. - Don't..
Bring the knife. - Please, don't harm him.
I will. - Don't..
Panikkar, open the door if you have the guts! - Oh, God!
I will kill you!
Ummer, please don't kill him. - Move aside.
I will kill him.
I won't leave from here until I kill him.
I want blood. I won't spare him.
Come, kill me. You wanted blood, right?
Come on! I'll give you my blood. Come.
You are living with a family.
If I do something wrong, you will get a bad name.
What is it? - Nothing.
Hey, pick this up. Else, I will kill you. - Come on.
Son, pick that up. - Give it.
What happened? - Let anything happen.
I've decided not to interfere in matters that don't concern me.
What is the fight for?
You were hiding inside.
He is not as bad as we had thought.
He is a very nice fellow.
Can I tell him not to stay in his own house?
Everything should have a logic.
Moreover, this girl is acting so arrogantly these days.
Arrogant? - Yes. - Is that so?
Yes. Come with me.
Dear, it's getting late.
Why did you compete with him?
Forget everything.
Hey, man! - What?
Can't you can have your bath after I do?
That's not possible, woman.
Don't wait. It might take at least three hours
for me to come out.
I want to bathe peacefully and it will take time.
"I peeped at you when you were taking a bath."
Sister, what happened? - Look at this man.
He says he will take his own sweet time.
I am already late for office.
Ask your sister to be a bit more dignified.
Ask her to vacate the house if she feels so uncomfortable.
Keep that wish with you.
Get out of the bathroom! - Get lost.
"I got into the lagoon to swim"
"in the moonlight."
He thinks he is very smart.
"I got into the lagoon to swim."
The water stopped. Open the pipe!
Can't you hear me? Open the pipe!
My eyes are burning.
As per the law, he has no right to force himself into your house.
I don't have the time to fight cases against him.
It's too expensive as well.
You are aware of my money matters.
If someone falls ill at home, all my plans go haywire.
Then, we have to starve.
Buy some rat poison and mix in his food.
The minimum manners that we expect from a person
are absent in him. Not even a little.
In the morning, he was pulling Monu's ears.
I am providing for my family by working day and night.
What right does he have to touch Monu?
He says it's his bathroom. I got angry.
I closed the valve from outside when he was bathing.
It's not right to give up that easily.
Old man, move your hand!
"While Lord Krishna was spending some time with his wife"
"atop the golden palace"
"the Lord of the heaven and the earth"
"saw his friend coming from a distance."
"The divine tree has blossomed."
"The golden grapes have ripened."
"Ripened.."
Shut up! It's time for the kids to study.
Don't disturb!
It's time for me to sing.
I sing from 7 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., no matter where I am.
Stop it!
If you can't take it, vacate the house.
It is my wish to sing in my house, when I feel like it.
"You are a beautiful girl with a sweet voice"
"but in spite of that, you are like a poisonous flower to me."
"You are a beautiful girl. Beautiful.."
"You are a beautiful girl with a sweet voice"
"but in spite of that you are like a poisonous flower to me."
"You are a beautiful girl. Beautiful.."
"You are a beautiful girl with a sweet voice"
"but in spite of that you are like a poisoned flower to me."
"You are a beautiful girl. Beautiful.."
"Your fast paced walk"
"and your sharp tongue."
"Your over-smartness"
"and those feminist thoughts."
"None of them is pleasing."
"Your dreams and stubbornness will be destroyed."
"You are a beautiful girl with a sweet voice"
"but in spite of that you are like a poisonous flower to me."
"You are a beautiful girl. Beautiful.."
"You are a beautiful girl with a sweet voice"
"but in spite of that you are like a poisoned flower to me."
"You are a beautiful girl. Beautiful.."
"Your attitude, your arrogance"
"and your pride are out of the blue."
"If I want, I can blow you away like dust."
"There will be no one to guard you against me."
"Your pretentious behaviour isn't pleasing."
"Your dreams and stubbornness will be destroyed."
"You are a beautiful girl with a sweet voice"
"but in spite of that you are like a poisonous flower to me."
"You are a beautiful girl. Beautiful.."
"You are a beautiful girl with a sweet voice"
"but in spite of that you are like a poisonous flower to me."
"You are a beautiful girl. Beautiful.."
Dear, what happened?
He thinks we have no one to support us.
That's the reason he's doing all these antics.
What happened now?
You believed him when he said that he wants to stay here for two days.
He irritates me at home, on the way and in the office too.
I won't stay quiet now.
I have to write a letter to uncle. - Oh, no!
Radha was right. He must be thrashed. Only then will he learn.
Do you think it's necessary? Brother Damodaran is dangerous.
He doesn't think before he leaps.
That's the reason I'm calling him.
'There's no peace of mind here, Uncle.'
'Mother and I can do nothing.'
'Uncle, please come here as soon as possible.'
'You must return only after you throw this man out of the house.'
'We are all waiting for you.'
'Yours, Meera.'
'My uncle, who is a don, is coming from Bombay.'
'We don't want a bloodshed.'
'Whoever loves their life, can leave this place.'
'In Bombay town..'
Is your uncle so strong?
Yes. Uncle can fight with ten people at the same time.
Karate, Judo, Kung-Fu, 'Kalarippayattu'.
There are no martial arts that he doesn't know.
He will teach this scoundrel a good lesson.
I want to enjoy that.
I wish he comes soon.
Hey, don't try threaten me in the name of an imaginary uncle.
You will know the truth when he comes.
Didn't you hear?
Uncle is on his way with his weapons. - What?
Don't think that I'm advising you.
If you want to live, please leave this place soon.
Gopalakrishna Panikkar?
Yes. - Okay.
What happened to your injunction and operation?
Everything was going as planned. - Okay.
But.. - But?
Mrs. Karthyayani's elder brother has come from Bombay like a devil.
Then you will have to go to a sorcerer.
I have no peace of mind.
If they don't vacate the house within a week
I will lose the land and house in the village.
Kunji Kannan Nair's agreement is quite strong.
So what do you want me to do? - I don't know.
Why did you come here then? - Where do I go then?
You stayed in that house, right? - Yes.
But the devil has come with his weapons.
Why? - To kick me out of the house.
So have you fled from him?
I don't fear him, but.. - You fear him.
Yes, a little. I don't know his nature.
Do you think that if this man hadn't come
the tenants would have vacated?
Definitely. - Then there's only one way.
Go back. We'll think of what to do when the devil attacks you.
What if he kills me in one go?
Why did you get into this then, Panikkar?
If you die fighting, let it be.
What kind of a devil is that?
If you fear him
you will not be able to vacate them in this life.
No? - No.
What should I do?
Go and face him, that's it.
That is..
File a case. - I don't have the time to file a case.
Do as you wish. - Sir?
Leave me alone.
Keeps on troubling others.
I don't think he will return.
Brother Damodaran, don't harm him.
She is really scared.
Karthyayani, this is a matter of our family's honour.
I will handle this gently.
Uncle, thrash him. - Hey, smart kid.
He is truly my nephew.
Come, we will eat something.
It's been a long time since I tasted Kerala chicken curry.
Go to sleep.
His belongings are here.
He might not have gone anywhere.
Dear, forget about it.
Don't worry about it.
Actually, we are relieved that you came here.
We went through a lot of problems here.
We will have dinner.
Uncle, he is coming.
Wait!
Why did you go away without introductions?
I wanted to get a bill cleared at the engineer's office.
I don't like boasting.
Yet, I must tell you certain truths.
A week ago, I was in Tihar jail.
Do you work there?
No, I was jailed for murder.
Murders and crimes are part of my life.
I have stabbed many people
and I was in jail for many years.
The Bombay underworld trembles on hearing Damodar's name.
Who is he? - Me.
Have you heard of Shiv Sena?
They have respect for only one individual.
That's Mr. Damodaran.
Don't they respect anybody else?
I am the most important man there.
I don't like boasting.
But I will tell you another truth.
Do you know the world famous Charles Sobhraj?
I have heard of him. - He was my close friend.
I have no such legacies.
But if need be, I won't hesitate to kill someone.
Good..
I like strong opponents.
Mr. Panikkar, look at the clock.
It's 11 p.m.
I will give you one hour's time.
Just one hour.
You can pack your things in that time. Understood?
I don't want bloodshed. So I am warning you.
By midnight, you must be out of the house.
Remember, sharp at 12, midnight.
Sharp 12, at midnight.
Or I will kill you.
Got it? Go!
If you fear him now
you will never be able to vacate them from this house.
Brother Damodaran, don't create any problem.
Sister, keep quiet. I have seen many people like him.
Uncle, don't do anything in a fit of anger.
Why are you talking like your mother?
I am an underworld don from Bombay.
Did you make your decision?
Yes. - What is it?
Gopalakrishna Panikkar will stay in his house
because he's the house owner.
Which house? - This house.
My house.
The house which has arrogant tenants.
My father was a clerk in the RTO office
and he had given this house to me.
Very good.
I always respect courageous men.
Come on, brave one.
After many years, I met a real man.
I don't like praising anyone. Listen to me carefully.
I welcome you to Bombay underworld.
You can be a don there. Don's don. Head of heads.
The biggest thug in the midst of thugs.
Let me tell you another truth.
I have seen this kind of courage only in Charles Sobhraj.
Where did you get this courage from?
Situations.
Mr. Damodaran, please vacate these people from here.
Sure.. I will do it very soon.
We are friends now. Go to sleep.
We will meet tomorrow at 6 a.m. - What?
We will meet tomorrow at 6 a.m.
Go, take rest..
What is this, Uncle?
Have you come here from Bombay to vacate us?
Dear, you know only your uncle, Damodaran.
But you do not know Damodaran, who's the don of Bombay.
You will get to know him.
Tomorrow's dawn is for that.
Now go to sleep.
Take rest..
Where are we going?
What do you do in Bombay?
In Bombay, I used to walk like this near Juhu beach
with my underworld friends.
Some key decisions were taken at such times.
I want to avoid bloodshed.
Sit here. - I think we can go now.
Sit. Our problems won't be solved if we go, right?
Problems? What problems?
Bholaram. - Yes, sir?
This is my friend, Gopalakrishna Panikkar.
Come here.
Bholaram has come with me from Bombay.
Give him a good oil massage.
Got it? - Okay.
Oil massage? - Yes.
I thought I could avoid Bholaram
if you had heeded my words.
Mr. Damodaran? - Yes, Mr. Damodaran.
Beat him up.
Come, my friend. - Leave my hand.
Leave my hand. - Shut up.
I won't spare you if you hurt me.
Scoundrel! Go ahead!
No, I'm warning you. Stop!
Mr. Damodar, he is hitting me.
Bholaram, help me..
Damodaran, I won't spare you.
Bholaram..
Bholaram. Bhola..
Bholaram?
Bhola..
Mr. Damodar!
Move, you idiot!
Where is he? - Get lost, idiot.
Uncle. - Don't worry, my child. He understood everything.
Brother Damodaran, did you hurt him?
No, that was not necessary. He understood everything.
Uncle, are you leaving?
It will be a problem if I don't leave today.
It's time for my train.
The talks with Shiv Sena starts today in Bombay.
I forgot about that.
You don't have to worry about him.
I have set him straight.
Damodaran!
Stop there!
Damodaran from the underworld! I will.. Stop!
Hello, Meera. - Good morning, sir.
Good morning. Please, come.
Please, have a seat.
Has he bothered you again?
I didn't come as you had said that you were going out of town.
Yes. - He is staying at our house.
Which house? - Our house.
He is troubling us so that we vacate the house.
We are fed up of him, sir.
I see. I think he needs some more thrashing.
Don't worry, I will break his legs.
No need of that, sir.
He will seek revenge on us.
We don't have any guardians. - I'm there.
I'm there for you.
Not just as an inspector.
I will give him a last warning.
If that does not work
I'll break his bones and parcel it to the police.
We don't want to harm anyone.
He must not trouble us
until we find another house.
Is that enough?
Okay, I will meet him today and talk to him.
Where will you meet me in the evening?
I will come to the police station on my way back from the office.
No, that's not required.
The station is not the right place.
I spend my evenings in Central Park.
You come there.
I'll tell you the result. Okay?
Thank you, sir.
Am I bothering you? - No, it's my pleasure.
Wait.
Nothing.
Sir, did you catch Sukumara Kurup? - What?
Sukumara Kurup?
Yes. - Did you?
We can't identify if it's him that has been caught..
We are investigating..
The procedures are underway...
I shall leave. - Okay.
Don't forget. Central Park. - Okay.
Evening. - Okay.
What did he say? - I will tell you.
Isn't it a pleasant evening?
Will he vacate the house?
Meera, come. We will sit there for some time.
I will leave if you tell me what he said.
I have a lot to tell you.
Come.
"The sky has blossomed like a coral jasmine."
"The petals of love have smiled at this magical time."
"The beautiful flowers, the lovely rivers"
"and my dreams make this beautiful world intoxicating."
There's a heart of a poet under this uniform.
I am also an artist and a singer.
"The sky has blossomed like a coral jasmine."
"The petals of love have smiled at this magical time."
"The beautiful flowers, the lovely rivers"
"and my dreams make this beautiful world intoxicating."
I am in a hurry.
"The sky has blossomed like a coral jasmine."

Rajendran.
Wait!
Rajendran, wait! Hey!
Hey, hermit, wait.
I knew you were a wolf in sheep's skin.
You forgot your close friend for a girl.
You couldn't hear me, right? - I have to rush to the station.
You can go..
I have no feelings or humanity.
I am a lion that is ready to pounce on criminals and tear them.
These were your words, right? - Yes.
How did you suddenly develop feelings for that girl?
I love her. - What?
The feeling of love.
If you have such varied feelings, I will get you fired from your job.
Gopalakrishna, I won't lose my job that easily.
I will report to the CBI that a policeman
a government servant is running behind girls.
Do that.. I am not flirting with her.
It's a pure and honest attachment.
I am going to marry her. What will you do then?
I will see. - I will marry her. You can't do anything.
Do you want to see? - I do.
I will break your marriage.
Now that we both like each other what can you do?
I will tell her and her mother
that you are a drunkard and a womaniser.
They won't believe you.
I won't tell this to them.
I will hire people to tell them.
Don't do things like that. - So, you got scared.
Is this the way you use to defeat people?
The end is more important to me than the means.
What is your goal? - Ask her to vacate my house. - What?
She loves you, doesn't she? Ask her to vacate my house.
Will she obey me?
You are her lover. You can do it.
Gopalakrishna, it's not what it looks like.
We are only halfway there.
You mean to say, she loves you.
No, I love her. - I felt so. - How?
She is not that crazy to fall in love with a person like you.
Okay, you like her. Don't you?
If I use my ability
and get you married to her
what will you give me in return?
Are you her relative to do that? - Leave that to me.
Talk about the return gift. - As a friend.. - Forget that.
You'll have to let her
and her family stay with you after the marriage.
That's not a problem. - It's a problem for me.
I will be relieved only if they vacate.
Rajendran, I am not asking you for a return gift.
I have no other option.
Please, don't misunderstand me.
Don't worry about that.
The marriage and shifting will both be done on the same day.
Are you sure? - Yes.
Inform your family about this.
That will be a problem.
As they can't afford to give dowry, my father won't agree.
Then what will you do?
I will call my uncle.
He is the editor of 'Poonkinaavu' weekly.
He is the only one who can convince my father.
Then call your uncle
as soon as possible. I will take care of the rest.
Okay? Okay.
You must not wash these clothes on stone.
They will wear out soon.
I will hang them. - I don't need your help.
I'm going to the market. Do you want fish or anything else?
Panikkar, just don't trouble us.
Don't say that.
I am not a trouble-maker. I help everyone.
Ma'am, look here. Look at me.
Shall I tell you a truth? I am innocent.
Yes, I do get angry.
But I cool down with equal ease.
I don't keep grudges or anger against anyone.
That's not my character.
How old is Meera now?
You might think as to why am I asking this.
That's a justifiable question.
I couldn't sleep last night.
I was rude to that poor girl.
I should not have done that.
The bad period in my life got over yesterday.
I want to repent now.
My inner voice asks me to do something good to her.
What good can we do for a girl?
We can entrust them to safe hands.
I have found one such guy for Meera.
He is handsome, from a good family, has a nice job
and is a good singer too. Yes.
You did not express your opinion.
Okay, don't say anything now.
I will bring him here. - No, that won't work.
Why? Is she in love with someone?
Panikkar, don't talk nonsense. - Not nonsense. I need to know.
I have to repent for my actions. I will get her married.
Panikkar. - Ma'am, don't say anything.
You don't have to interfere either.
Human bond is most important.
Love is everything. Understand that.
The boy will come, see Meera and marry her.
Listen to me. - No, don't say anything..
I had gone to the police station. Why did you take a leave?
I thought that we could talk peacefully here.
Why did you suddenly feel like getting married?
Who is he?
He is Gopalakrishna Panikkar. - Is he your marriage broker?
No, he was my classmate.
I thought so by seeing the bag and umbrella.
Please, have a seat.
You know my uncle, don't you? 'Poonkinaavu' weekly..
Yes, I know. He is the editor. - Yes.
Long ago, I had sent a short story to your weekly magazine.
It was named as 'Chaayakopele Kodungattu.'
Was it published? - No, I did not see it.
The story must have lacked depth. - Yes, maybe.
I had sent a question to the section 'Ask the Psychiatrist'.
I did not find that either.
It might not have been a good question.
Yes, that's possible.
'Poonkinaavu' weekly has certain standards.
I can't go below that because I am the editor.
'Poonkinaavu' is a weapon against injustice in society.
Yes, I know that.
If any murder or fight takes place
'Poonkinaavu' weekly will report it.
There will be photographs related to them as well.
Yes, people like it very much. - Yes, that's true.
Did you talk to your father about marriage? - No.
Uncle, you have to convince him.
Is it a complicated issue?
Tell the truth to your uncle.
It's a love affair. - What? - Love affair.
Rajendran, you're a smart one! - Come with me.
Ask him.
It's not a love affair like you think.
It's a one-sided love.
Don't ask him and hurt him.
We must somehow get him married to her.
Or he will hang himself.
Is that so intense? - Yes, it is.
The girl's family is economically weak.
That doesn't mean they would accept him.
We must try our best to get their approval.
Sir, you will have to take the responsibility.
It's a matter of one's life.
Sir, please come.
Hey, you come here. - What? - Come.
I have told everything to your uncle.
But don't tell him that I stay in that house.
And those problems..
Please, come here. - What? - Come.
Sir..
First, we both will go to that house.
Before the girl comes back home, we have to convince her mother.
The girl does not like me.
So, don't reveal about our friendship to her. - Okay.
I will do the rest.
Come here. No, there.
Did Meera return? - No.
He is the uncle of the guy I was talking about.
Please, come in.
You are the girl's mother, right? - Yes.
Do you know 'Poonkinaavu'?
Don't mistake him.
He meant the magazine, 'Poonkinaavu'.
He is the editor and owner of that publication.
Please, have a seat.
My nephew is a police officer.
His father wanted him to be a lawyer
while his mother wanted him to be an engineer.
But I stood by him. - Yes.
I was the one who found out that he can become a policeman.
I was inclined to resist injustice
right from my childhood.
The same genes have passed on to my nephew.
He is as brave as I am.
We both are voicing against injustice
through our respective professions.
Please don't tell Meera that I initiated this alliance.
She won't like it.
I just want this marriage to happen.
My nephew's parents wouldn't approve
but they would value my opinion.
But our condition..
I am not worried about that.
The girl's job or salary was never an issue to my nephew.
Neither do you have to worry about losing her salary after marriage.
No mother will think like that.
I was saying.. - You don't have to say anything.
No, will she.. - Will she like my nephew?
For sure..
There are no reasons to dislike him.
And there are a thousand reasons to like him.
Please, make some tea.
Everything will be all right.
Go ahead. Go.
Sir, the girl has come.
Try and convince her. It's not right for me to stay here.
Who is he? - Who, Uncle?
The fraudster you introduced me as your classmate. - Fraudster?
Where did you meet that girl?
Actually.. - Do you love her?
Marriage is for a lifetime.
Did you enquire about her background or whereabouts?
Actually.. - Answer me. Do you know anything about her?
I saw her and got to know her
and felt that she is a good girl.
How? What do you know about her?
Couldn't you enquire about the girl
you wished to marry?
What kind of policeman are you?
What happened? - Stupid.
You are here!
You left by the time Meera's mother came with the tea.
Sir, why didn't you tell me?
I didn't feel right to tell it there.
How much money did you get for this?
Money? - How much money did you get to cheat me and my nephew?
Cheating?
Sir, Gopalakrishna Panikkar has not betrayed anyone yet.
Mister, God is watching us.
So both of us got saved.
Tell me what the matter is.
Rajendran, do you think that I will cheat you?
Don't you know what I'll get out of this marriage?
I have never intended to cheat anyone to gain something in life.
Gopalakrishna will not cheat me intentionally.
Uncle, tell us the matter.
Do you know Dr. Shivraj who handles
psychiatry column in 'Poonkinaavu' weekly?
Yes, I have heard of him.
I am a regular visitor at his clinic.
Meera, the girl whom you love
for whom I took your marriage proposal
has been a patient at his clinic for two months.
She was getting treated for mental illness.
Doctor said that it was a peculiar
and severe case of mental depression.
No, sir. It might be a case of mistaken identity.
No, I am sure.
I have seen her there myself.
A great choice for love and marriage!
How many times 60 is 189?
Tell me. - Three.
3 times 60 is 180.
180.
The remainder is 9..
I want to tell you something.
I did try to vacate you from this house.
You might say that I have no conscience.
But I have never cheated anyone.
Even Kunji Kannan Nair, to whom I owe a large sum
has never called me a cheat.
But today, I became one because of you.
You must not lie even to the marriage brokers.
Who? Whom did we cheat?
Didn't your daughter get treated for mental illness at a clinic?
Shivraj was her doctor, right?
Why do you pray to God daily?
Is it to cheat people
and get your daughter married to an innocent man?
Don't play with other's lives to treat your daughter.
Do it again.
Mother, what happened?
What happened?
Did he scold you?
No. Dear, nothing happened.
Then why are you crying?
I just remembered something.
Mother, come inside.
Come inside.
Please don't mind me saying this.
Please don't talk to my daughter
the way you spoke to me.
She can't tolerate it like me.
That's why.
I didn't intend to cheat anyone.
I would have said it if I had a chance.
But..
How can I tell everyone that Meera was mentally ill?
I don't want to force her on anyone.
My heart broke when you said
that she was mentally ill.
Yes, she was a patient before.
Meera's marriage had been fixed
eight months before.
All the wedding arrangements were done
and the house was being decorated.
A night before the marriage, a light machine that Meera's father
had brought stopped working.
Her father switched off the mains and was repairing it.
Meera switched it on to iron Deepa's frock.
My daughter did not realise
that her father was dying of electric shock outside.
I ran out hearing everyone shout and cry.
By then, everything was over.
Meera did not cry when she realised her mistake.
She did not utter a word.
She had lost her mental balance.
The groom's family did not approve of an insane girl.
Now she is absolutely fine
but the past is chasing her.
She believes that her father is present
in every room of this house.
That is the reason we wouldn't vacate this house.
Didn't you go to the office?
No. Be seated.
I am going to my village.
I lied to you that we were moving here.
I wanted to sell this house.
But I didn't tell that to anyone.
I thought of giving it a try, before I lost everything.
Now, I am not going to trouble you anymore.
This is the truth unlike my other stories.
We had to pay off a lot of loans even when my father was alive.
I tried my best to repay, but it did not work out.
I married off my two sisters with pomp and grandeur
so that they don't feel the absence of our father.
I was proud about that.
Our own..
Rajendran, I am in trouble.
I don't have other acquaintances here.
I know I am troubling you.
My mother and sister are sitting in the car.
Where are you taking them?
I don't know. That's what the problem is.
I was never able to keep my mother happy after my father's death.
What happened now? - I lost all my property.
I lost my house. The lenders took away everything.
I can't ask my tenants to vacate.
It would be like troubling them as well.
You must find me a house for rent.
I had to take the responsibility of the entire family
even before I was mature enough for it.
It was too late
by the time I understood the difficulties behind it.
Ma'am, please come.
You can stay in my house.
Mother, did you recognise him? Rajendran.
Please sit inside.
I am not saying this as a formality.
Friends have to help each other in such situations.
Don't worry about finding a house on rent.
You know that I stay alone here.
Ma'am.
Meera!
Meera! - You have come.
They vacated the house and asked me to give the keys to you.
Where did they go?
They didn't tell me about that.
Meera.
I got the keys.
You got rid of me, right?
It's not that. We had to vacate it someday.
Can you cut off all the ties with that house so easily?
Don't you feel your father's presence
in every room of that house?
That's okay. Those are just our imagination.
No, you are more attached to that house than me.
I came to tell you not to leave that house.
Please consider this as my request.
We should understand your problems too.
Problems? What problems?
I don't have any problems. I have repaid the loans.
I have to start all over again.
When my ancestral home was confiscated, I got some money.
I will start a small business with it.
That's okay.
It is certain situations that set people apart
and bring them closer as well.
Will you be angry if I ask you something?
What is it? - Both of us need a shelter.
Since we know everything about each other
can't we take a new decision?
Can't my family and yours
stay under one roof?
Life has just begun.
There is a long life ahead of us.
This house is not mine or yours.
It's ours. Come.
