'Summer in Bethlehem.'
"For all the births that I have been in search of you"
"my love for you has been as much, my love."
"The shores afar and the silent stars are my witnesses."
"For all the births that I have been in search of you."
"The cloud gently whispered to the wind"
"an unknown secret about love."
"The fading dusk looked for you"
"like it would look for a moist moonlight."
"I want to be a child on your lap forever."
"I want to be the love in the song that you hum."
"I stand here, waiting for you."
"For all the births that I have been in search for you"
"my love for you has been as much, my love."
"The shores afar and the silent stars are my witnesses."
Hey, Ravi!
You don't need to shout. I am right here.
You lazy guy!
You promised to follow me.
Aren't you ashamed?
You should have slept at home instead of coming here.
Why did you come here, saying that you wanted to exercise?
Hey! Centuries ago, the people who lived during the stone age
travelled on such animals
because they didn't have access to technology.
We have discovered so much in the 20th Century.
Motor cars, aeroplanes, rockets..
India even detonated a nuclear bomb in Pokhran.
But you still aimlessly ride on a horse, early in the morning.
This act is really primitive.
There are so many other ways to exercise.
But you don't need any of them.
All you need is some coconut oil
to make your tongue flexible.
Your life depends on the flexibility of that tongue.
Dennis, don't insult my talking abilities.
Have you heard of Mark Antony?
Oh! - He chased the entire Roman army out with just a speech.
That was Mark Antony, but you are just a blabbermouth!
I just hope that Rambo, my horse, doesn't become as lazy as you.
Ride on him for some time. I am leaving.
Come on.
God knows, what crime that poor horse has committed!
He has to carry a heavy person!
A horse is riding another horse!
'Bethlehem Estates.'
Hello! You've got a courier.
Greetings.
There is a courier for you. - Yes, I am greeting you.
Isn't this Bethlehem Estates?
Didn't you see the board outside?
I did! But this shouldn't be called Bethlehem Estates.
It should be named as the Golgotha mountain!
What a slope, man! I struggled a lot to come here.
Is that so? Who asked you to come here?
Will this courier come here by itself?
Who is this Ravi Shankar? - I am Monai!
I didn't ask you that.
I like introducing myself. I am Monai.
Very good! Who is Ravi Shankar?
Learn about me, first. Then, ask about Ravi Shankar.
I already know you. The boy at the tea shop told me about you.
What? - He said that a dark man is the caretaker here.
His father is the dark man!
Is he your son, then? - Hey, mister!
I am Monai, manager of Bethlehem Estates.
I don't care about that. Just sign and take this.
What is it? I can't take this.
Ravi Shankar, Bethlehem Estates, Chandragiri.
Is the address correct? - Yes, the address is correct.
But that man, Ravi Shankar, is not correct.
What can I do for that?
Call him. I will deal with him directly.
Hello, this farm is owned by my boss, Mr. Dennis.
Ravi Shankar and Dennis are mere friends. That's all.
So, I don't have to accept any parcel that comes for him.
What if there is a bomb inside?
If it bursts, we'll know!
Don't scare me. Else, I will hit you!
Is there a cat inside this?
Did you hear it too? - Yes. It isn't dead, then!
When this box fell on the way, I thought it had died.
What is it, Monai? Who is he?
He is bugging me since he came here.
He seems weird. - What is it, man?
Sir, I am from Diana Couriers.
I travelled a lot to reach here.
Actually, we don't deliver in this area. - I see.
This went from the zonal office to the branch office
and from there to the sub-office on special instructions.
We were asked to deliver this cat alive.
By God's grace, it has reached here alive. - Wow, kitten!
My goodness. Who is it for? - Mr. Ravi Shankar.
Awesome. - Please, listen to me, sir.
Mr. Ravi is getting gifts like pups and kittens.
This will create problems here.
How is that possible?
It's just a cat. I will take it.
Hey! How dare you wear this gown?
It was too cold, last night. - Right..
So, I wore it.
Give him Rs. 100. - Rs. 50?
Fine. Give him Rs.150!
Don't mess with me.
You are not worth it.
"Where did you come from?"
"Where are you going now?"
Is this is the one?
Does it look like you?
Wow! It looks like you.
Where is this from?
Don't you know? - No!
The box will have the sender's name.
The dog took the name tag away.
Dear! Can I have your photo?
I wish to frame it and hang it in my home.
Will my black and white photo do?
I prefer that.
Only then, can we see you properly. I will hit you! - Hey.
Don't be tensed.
Someone is pulling a prank.
Do they have fool's day in May?
No. April Fool's day is in June. - Right.
Get the breakfast. We'll handle this.
Thanks. - Okay.
Dear, tell the truth.
Are you seeing someone? - No.
Is this cat doing the job of a swan? The message of love..
No way.
Since you are talking about swans, I remembered something.
If you want chicken for lunch, you have to go and get it.
You! - What did I do? - Hey.
God!
'The vacation time is here.'
'My dear husband to-be.'
She is talking about you. - What?
'I have come to you before the other girls did.'
'Thanks to the courier service', it's written in brackets. - Oh.
'Do you recognise me?' - No.
'I am coming there for the answer.'
'Yes, man. I am coming!'
Hey, dear! This is love.
Deep, passionate love. - Nonsense.
Who could it be?
'I am coming, vacation..'
Where is she coming? I don't understand anything.
How many uncles do you have?
Five. - How many daughters do they have?
12! Five of them are grown ups.
It means they are old enough to get married. - Yes.
One among them is in love with you. - What?
With or without your knowledge. - I don't care!
I am not in love with anyone.
Those girls are just pulling a prank on me.
We will discuss that later.
This might have some clue.
A cat is an ideal gift for love!
It signifies that you don't care what the world says.
That's the first stage in love.
It's Chinese. Maybe, the girl is from China.
No, it's not that.
The tape got tangled.
This reminds me of something.
In our farm, 500 litres of milk got spoilt.
I am happy about it.
The tape got tangled.
Fix that and get it back.
Shall I go?
Why did you hit me?
Because you were the one who bought this tape recorder.
Is there anything more you'd like to give me?
I will try my best to repair this. God!
"Sometimes when I am down, and all alone"
Greetings. - Beatings?
Oh, you mean, greetings. Greetings.
I have come to meet the owner. Is he not here? - Owner?
What is the matter?
Matter.. I will say that directly to Mr. Ravi Shankar.
Mr. Ravi Shankar.
Tell me, mister. What's the problem?
I heard that 50 cows were on sale here.
Who said that? Did Mr. Ravi Shankar say so?
No, I came to know through the brokers.
That's not true.
We haven't told anyone that we want to sell our cows.
Probably, you don't know about it.
Please, call Mr. Ravi Shankar.
I will speak to him personally.
The broker, Kannappan, told me about this. He never lies.
Believe me.
I have no intention to sell any cow from here.
Who are you to decide that?
Me? - Yes. - I am the owner of this place. Dennis.
Doesn't that make me eligible?
Okay!
What about Mr. Ravi Shankar? I had heard that it's his farm.
Hey! If you still don't believe me, I shall call my servants.
No need. I believe you.
Don't think that I am calling them to make you believe me.
I want them to show you the exit.
I know how to get out of here.
You don't have to bother them for that.
Does Mr. Ravi Shankar have a farm?
Yes, he does. - Oh. - From the road outside
walk towards the east. - Okay.
After a while, you'll see the board of his farm.
Is it a dairy farm?
Not really. He domesticates elephants there. Get lost!
Irritating people!
Sir, are you going towards the same direction?
No.
'RAVISHANKAR'S FARM.'
That's really good.
But it's locked. When did they lock it?
Appunni Nair! - Dear.
You went to Dennis's farm. Didn't you?
Yes, dear. That's how I found out about the real owners.
What I saw there was Mr. Dennis's farm
and this is yours.
I saw Mr. Dennis's farm.
It's really good. Now it's time to see yours.
So, you will not spare me without seeing my farm, right? - Yes.
Leave all that. How's everything at home?
I hope my mother is fine.
She is totally fine.
She has been very happy
from the time she saw the photos of your farm.
Take the keys and unlock the gate.
Let me say..
Those were not the photos of my farm.
Oh! - Those were the photos of Dennis's farm. It got exchanged.
This is Ravi Shankar's farm.
'Agro farm, goat farm, orchid garden'
'fruit garden, milk products, cattle farm.'
Our next project, 'Shankberries chocolate.'
Mostly, this will make all other chocolate companies close down!
We have been talking for a long time.
There a is hotel nearby that sells biryani. Come, let us grab a meal.
I have the habit of drinking alcohol before eating. - Oh.
But before all that, I want to see this farm.
Appunni Nair..
Don't open the door.. - I want to see..
I will become violent. - I have to see it..
Beautiful!
How did you manage to do all this in just three years, dear?
Don't twist the knife in the wound, Mr. Nair.
I have a name in my town. It's 'CID' Appunni.
Not without reason, too.
I am a good detective.
Who the hell asked you to come here?
I knew something was wrong when I saw those photos of the farm.
I wondered how you progressed so soon.
Mr. Nair, if you tell this to my mother
I will kill you.
14.. 10 extra..
What are you talking about?
What are you counting?
Forget 14, you can accommodate even 74 of them, here.
You are the owner of this huge land!
You have more than enough servants to cater to your needs.
Since your grandpa was a Colonel
you might know how to build a tent here.
What nonsense are you talking about?
They are coming! - Who?
To spend this vacation with their beloved grandson
your grandparents and their children
and their granddaughters are coming here.
Dear..
So, this CID has trapped you.
He has caught you red-handed.
Bad, very bad.
Don't laugh at me. You are a cheater.
You are a traitor.
You should have some gratitude.
Do you know the meaning of that word? No!
What did I do?
You could have managed this very easily.
You could've sent him home
without letting him know.
Hey, he didn't even tell me who he was!
Do you even remember this face?
Two years ago, in a night of April.
When I helped you while you were soaked in blood
you had said, 'Thank you, sir Thank you'.
There were two ways to go to Bison Valley from Mettukulam.
Either left or right.
The road is good on the left side, but I chose the route on the right.
That's why I found you there.
Some truck had rammed into your jeep
and you were lying there, soaked in blood.
It was me who carried you to the hospital.
I even gave you four bottles of blood.
No, it was three bottles. - What?
The last time when you said this story, it was three bottles.
Somehow, you added one more, this time.
How would you know about that? - Hey!
The first time when he said this, it was two bottles.
He keeps increasing it. Anyway, say the rest of the story too.
No, I will not say anything at all.
You cheated the one who saved your life.
Brutus is so decent when compared to you.
Wait!
Hey, foolish friend.
How many times have you
told this story in the past two years?
You might not be ashamed
but I am surely fed up of listening to it.
God, you should have turned towards the left!
You just wait for a reason to say that story.
No. I have stopped.
I will not say it again.
I have come to say, 'goodbye'. We may not meet again.
I will try my best not to meet you again.
Are you going to commit suicide?
Useless man! It's your father who is going to commit suicide.
Dear, what is your problem?
I will be there to help you in all your problems.
Buddy, my grandparents
and my cousins
are coming over here for the vacation.
So, that's the issue.
Let them come. Let everyone come.
Let them stay here for however long they want to.
Do you have any idea how many people are going to come here?
You are very lucky.
You have everyone.
You have a mother, grandparents
uncles, aunties and cousins.
I envy you because of this.
I don't have anyone.
And I envy you because of that.
You are answerable to no one.
You don't understand the pleasure of having someone to care for you.
Buddy! They are coming here with the belief
that I own this farm and the farmhouse.
I have told them that I lead a royal life here.
Let them continue to believe that. They will ask about me.
Partner. Say that I am your partner.
Otherwise, I'll be the manager.
Manager? No. - Let me be the manager, sir.
You can become the partners.
Yes. - It is risky, Dennis.
What if it blows out?
We won't let that happen. - We will. - What?
What? - We will blow their minds off!
Yes. Yes.
For a few days
let this place become a home.
This is just a building now.
The building owned by an orphan named Dennis
is about to become a home.
No. A palace.
Monai! - Yes, sir.
Remember the way we decorate the crib during Christmas. - Yes.
Decorate this place in the same manner.
Make sure that everything is looked after. Okay?
Okay, sir. I will do that. - Yes.
Okay. - Dennis! You have saved me. Thank you!
No, dear.
I should thank you.
I don't have a surname.
I had given a surname for myself.
'Orphan'.
Dennis, the orphan.
I am going to change it.
I won't be an orphan during the coming vacation.
I will have lots of relatives.
Hey, buddy.
We forgot about something.
The kitten!
Kitten? - Yes.
The girl who sent that cat like a messenger.
The girl who is in love with you.
Your lady love. - Yes.
She is coming, too. - Really?
Yes, she is welcome too.
A warm, red carpet welcome.
"We will build our house on the rainbow"
"and the moon will be our rooftop."

"Oh, beautiful pigeons of the mountains"
"come to our palace and make it more beautiful."
Be at your best. - Done.
Grandpa!
How are you, my boy? - I am doing good, Grandpa.
Grandpa has come alone.
Not alone!
All 11 of your cousin sisters are here.
Hi, Brother Ravi! - Hi.
Hi, Brother Ravi. - Hi.
Hi. - Hi.
Hi, Brother Ravi! - Hello!
Hello! - Oh, no.
Hi. - Hi.
Hello! - Hello!
Hi. - Hi.
Greetings!
Hi!
It's like standing at the gate of a girl's school.
Grandma! - Oh, my dear Ravi.
It's been so many years since I last saw you.
To meet you, we had to come down all the way from there.
That's because I was a bit busy, Grandma.
The farm needs my complete attention. - Coolie!
Oh! - My darling! - Sorry, bag.. Coolie.
Ravi, who is this gentleman?
He is my partner.
This farm is a joint venture of ours. - Okay.
Dear kids, could you please give way.
Give him way! - No.. Get up..
Who asked you to fall at my feet?
I don't like it at all.
My life has taught me not to trust the people who fall at your feet.
I just wanted to show respect.
There are other ways to do that.
Grandpa, Dennis does not have any relatives.
He is meeting a grandpa for the first time in his life.
He was just expressing his happiness.
It's all right.
What do you mean by saying that you don't have any relatives?
I do. I have Ravi.
And now, Ravi's relatives.. - Okay..
We can discuss stories in detail when we reach home.
Let's go. - Okay, we will go home.
Dennis, bring the kids in your car.
Okay. - Come.. - Ravi.
Grandpa hit someone on the train! - Is it?
How could I not hit him? Scoundrel!
They were trying to act smart in front of these young girls.
I just hate it.
I punched him on his face.
We need to bring another guy. There is a lot of luggage.
Dennis, can you please manage this?
We will go home..
Come along! - Let's go! - Come..
Sir, please hold this.
Even this.
Mr. Partner, you forgot our partnership on seeing the luggage!
Welcome. - Wonderful! Really wonderful.
Thank you. I knew you would like this.
You bought such a beautiful farm
but never invited me to visit this place.
I am a bit upset about that.
I wanted to invite you
after this farm was completely flourished.
How is it? - It's really nice.
It's like the bungalow in Nainital where we had once stayed. - Yes..
It's really nice. I am proud of you. - Thanks, Grandma.
He is, after all, my grandson!
He is capable of achieving anything.
Great, Ravi. It's really great. - Thank you.
Where is the dairy farm? - Dairy farm?
It's nearby. We will go there too.
How many cows do you have, now?
1000 cows.. Aren't there.
Some of them died. I have around 700 cows in total.
You have to show this to your mother.
She is always worried about you.
She is not confident about your work here.
Hey.. - Give me that ball..
It's mine, give it to me..
Your partner.
Is he financially involved or is he just a working partner?
Working.. Working partner.
He has a little financial involvement too.
He is a good worker.
Oh! - That's why I involved him..
On our way, children saw the lake
and forced me to stop! That's why we got late.
Why are you standing out?
We thought of enjoying the view here, before going inside.
Can someone shift these bags inside?
Where did that Monai go? - I didn't see him.
Hey, Monai! - Oh!
Sorry! I was calling our servant boy.
Throw it to me.. - Naughty kids.
Where were you?
Two men had come, asking about you. I had gone to send them away.
You have an excuse for everything. Who had come to meet me?
That bank manager..
The bank manager and a few others had come to see you.
They were talking about some loan issues.
They threatened to create problems if you don't repay them.
I was trying to save you! I had gone to send them off.
Was that a mistake?
No. Thank you.
Okay.
Keep those bags inside. - What?
Keep those bags inside! Please..
Grandpa.
Grandpa!
Sorry! - Close the door!
Okay. - Go, get lost!
That is grandpa's room.
Didn't I ask you to give this room to my grandparents?
I made a fool of myself.
Did you see anything? - Yes, a little bit.
What do you think I saw?
I am asking about the arrangements that we have made here.
Arrangements are good.
Now, go downstairs, instead of wandering around here.
The topic of arrangements has..
Reminded me something.
What is it? - Clean the cow dung in the cowshed.
I shall do that, then. - Do it.
It's really sad..
Oh.. I am sorry. - Oh!
What is wrong with you?
I didn't know it was you, Grandpa.
What happened to grandma?
Nothing much, it's just a little pain.
It's maybe because of the sudden climate change.
Enough. - Didn't she have the rheumatic fever before?
This climate isn't suitable at all, for her.
Don't worry. This is not a serious issue.
She has even climbed the Himalayas with me!
That was when you were young.
Do you know what the speciality of this place is?
Due to the cold weather caused by the heat
you become prone to many diseases.
For example, malaria, filariasis, varicella and gas trouble.
That's why you can't stay here for more than two days.
Return ticket..
You are mistaken.
For people like us, who are living their retirement life
this is an ideal place. - Yes.
We were planning to stay here for a long time
after sending back the kids to their home town.
Correct.. - Oh, God! - What?
Oh, God! How many medicines do you take, Grandma?
They are just pain killers and vitamin tablets. - Oh.
So, are you her nurse? - I am half a doctor, not nurse.
She is in her third year of MBBS.
I thought Devika was studying for PDC.
I was studying for PDC.
But that was three years ago.
Kids have grown up so fast.
You too have become old, now it's time for your marriage.
Why are you doing this to me, Grandma?
Let me live here, happily.
That's not possible.
We have already spoken about this to your mother.
We are just waiting for your approval.
Tell that to me before we leave from here.
You have five cousins who are eligible.
Choose your life partner from among them.
There goes one of them.
Relax for some time.
We will discuss marriage, later. - Yes.
The topic of marriage reminded me of something.
Our employee's wife hung herself to death.
Idiot. What is the relationship between marriage and death?
Both of them are different types of functions.
Grandma! Here's your coffee.
Hope the kids have had something to eat.
There is milk for the little ones
and for the elder ones, there is some more milk. - Okay.
Over here, the amount of milk is more than water.
I will go and take care of the kids. - Okay.
Grandma. - What?
Kids! Kids!
Girls!
He is a little crazy, right?
Yes.
Have a look.
The girl, who is lying in the hammock..
The one with spectacles. - Yes. - "When your spectacles meet.."
That is Gayatri, uncle Venu's daughter.
Okay, the one from Delhi.
Yes, she is very studious.
She says that she will become an IAS officer.
With that body shape
she could become an IPS officer too. - Maybe!
She is the most serious of them all.
We should be careful with her.
Next? - Next. The one with the video camera
is Aparna, uncle Vijay's daughter.
She is doing her engineering. - She looks smart.
She is capable of playing many tricks. - Yes.
The one who is posing in front of the video
is Jyothi, uncle Vishwam's daughter.
She is a glamorous girl.
She is a beauty conscious girl. - Yes.
She might find the concept of love really interesting. - Yes.
That girl feeding the horse
is Devika. She is doing her MBBS.
Whose daughter is she?
She is the daughter of SP Karuna from Trivandrum.
Oh!
She is a very quiet girl.
But love may interest her too. We'll have to doubt her.
Alley cat, silent cat.
Now, you must have got a complete idea about them.
I did. I'll take care of the rest.
There is one more girl left.
Who is she?
'Ami', uncle Balan's daughter. Abhirami.
Let her come, but before that, I'll find out
if your lover is there in this group.
Are you sure? - Yes, I am sure.
But how?
I am missing Ami a lot.
Yes, really.
Only when she comes, will our vacation become lively.
Oh, God. I have some paper works to do.
I wish she comes after I finish that.
She won't allow you to do your work when she comes here.
Look. There is a cat here. - Where?
Look, it's a kitten.
What's that, on its neck? Bell.
Yuck! Put it outside the door. - Poor cat. - Excuse me.
Did you see a kitten here?
Yes. Does this belong to you?
No, it's from the streets. It has become a nuisance.
We are planning to kill it. - Kill it?
Oh! That's cruel. - That's sad.
That means, everyone here, likes cats. Good.
It would be great if the one
who likes this cat the most, raises her hand.
What are you saying? - What's wrong with you?
Here is the cat, if it belongs to you, you can take it away.
I will take the cat away.
But is it necessary to hide your feelings now?
Ravi is really eager to know who the girl is.
He is really anxious.
He is really tensed.
Oh, God. What's your problem, Mr. Dennis?
What is your problem, Dennis?
Problem..
Okay.
I will find out about her by myself.
I will catch her on my own.
Hey, it jumped.. - Come here..
I will..
I caught it.
Oh, no!
What is happening there?
There is a small kitten. - Out!
Out house, both of you have to shift to the outhouse.
Where are you guys going? Are you guys going for a trip?
You have been thrown out for misbehaving with the girls.
Come here.
Lie down there.
What a shame!
In front of my grandpa, I was embarrassed to death.
What did we do? - We didn't do anything. It is you who did.
You spoilt everything.
It's really shameful to enter the girls' room at night.
I will.. - Just one attempt has failed.
Don't get dejected. - I'm not dejected.
I was punishing myself
for participating in this foolish act of yours.
Then try on your own to find her. - To try or not, is my decision.
I don't need your help for that.
I am not dying to find out your lover. Get lost!
Get lost, rogue. - Get lost, you bigger rogue.
Get lost, rogue. - Get lost! - Oh, God.
Listen, there is no need to call each other that.
I know who the rogue is, amongst you.
He knows. - If you have any problem, you can go out.
The moon is beautiful tonight. Go and create commotion there.
I'm trying to rest here. I'm tired. - Get out, pig.
Who are you, to interfere? We'll do what we want.
If you want to sleep, get out from here.
Why are you making me the culprit?
You were the ones
who misbehaved with those girls.
Disgusting people. - Ravi! Hit him.
That reminded me of something.. - We remember only this.
Don't hit me. Enough, don't beat me.
The phone is ringing..
The telephone bell is ringing.
"Telephone bell is ringing, rogue.."
Grandpa.. - Greeting! - Hey.
Hello! Yes.
Who is it?
Is it Ami?
Grandpa! Sister Ami is calling.
Sister Ami! I am Dhanya. When are you coming here?
Hello, I am Aparna here. - Let me talk..
Yes. How are you? - Give me the phone..
Don't shout. - Give me the phone.. - Ami..
I will speak to her. Give me the phone. - My eyes..
Hi, Ami! I am Gayatri. We all miss you.
Give it to me.
Hello, Ami! It is grandpa here. Grandpa.
Move away.
Hello! I can't hear you properly.
Mallannur? Where?
Okay.. The college bus..
Between 8 and 8.30 a.m. - What is the matter?
It is Ami.
Talk to her. - Okay.
Hello! Hello!
It is me, Ravi.
Hello! It got disconnected.
Tomorrow morning, she'll reach the highway
in Mallannur between 8:00 and 8:30.
You must go and pick her up.
Oh, my God! Is that it?
These kids were shouting as if something had gone wrong.
We couldn't talk to her.
She'll reach here tomorrow morning.
Ravi! You must go early. - Yes.
You should be there by at least 7:30 a.m.
Mallannur is very nearby. - Yes.
Hardly 60 kilometres.
So what?
So.. - Nothing!
Nothing. - Okay!
All of you, go and sleep.
Ravi, shall we also come with you to pick her up?
Please.. - No need..
Wait till she reaches here.
Go to your rooms.
Go.. Go and sleep. - Come, let's go.. - Go.
Outhouse.
Yes.. Come.
It is better to wait here.
We must carefully watch all the buses that come here.
There is no need to notice all the buses.
The bus in which Abhirami comes will have a college banner.
My dear!
I am not sure if this climate has anything to do with it.
But you have started to talk intelligently these days. - Yes.
Thank you! - Welcome.
The one who's coming today seems extraordinary.
The other kids were really excited when she called.
She is a big troublemaker.
Is it? - The others are nothing as compared to her.
She's been very naughty right from her childhood.
But everyone likes her.
To be precise, she is the darling of the family.
Here comes the bus. - 'St. Philomena's college.' - Yes.
Hello! - Stop.
Ravi Shankar here. - Stop.
Ami!
Bye. - Bye..
You look really tired.
Was it an excursion? - Study tour. - Oh.
Ami, meet Mr. Dennis. My friend, my partner.
Hi. - Hi.
Let us go. The kids there are waiting for you.
Come.
For how long will they stay here?
Grandpa said that they would stay here till the vacation gets over.
I was not interested to come here. Grandpa compelled me to come.
I'll go back before the vacation gets over.
We can decide that after going there.
After reaching there, you wouldn't want to return.
Bethlehem is that beautiful. Let's go.
Okay.
She is not like what you said. She is very gloomy.
Something is wrong. I haven't seen her like this.
"Old MacDonald had a farm."
"And in his farm, he had some cows."
"With a moo moo here, with a moo moo there.."
Yes..
Jyothi.
What is wrong with all of you? Why are you shouting?
Ami! - We were anxiously waiting for you.
Why? Who asked you to get anxious?
Where is the bedroom? - Upstairs.
What is this? - Something is wrong.
Grandma! - Yes. - Sister Ami has come. - Did she come?
I felt so when I heard the noise downstairs.
Where is she? - She is lying in the room.
She is very moody and angry. Come and see.
Where is my dear Ami?
What is it, dear?
What happened to you? - Nothing.
Something. I'm not asking what it is.
No matter what it is, you will have to keep it aside.
We want our old Ami back.
Your dad and mom are really upset.
They say your anger and stubbornness have increased.
We know that you had refused to come for this vacation.
I wanted to change your mood, that's why I forced you to come.
That is all right. She is tired after the journey.
Let her freshen up. Come on. Get up. - Yes.
The kids are really disappointed.
They will be happy only if you cheer up.
Do you get me?
I'll go and get Ghee Roast Dosa for you.
Come.
Ami! There is no need to show attitude.
Everyone here was really excited when you had called.
We have decided one thing. We'll go back.
Enough. I came for this vacation only because you were coming too.
My aunt's kids had asked me to come to Bombay.
Now I feel that I should have gone there.
Bombay?
Aunt's kids?
Who are you? What attitude were you talking about?
Do you want to go back? What's your problem, fool?
I will..

"wearing anklets and bangles?"
Ami's mood has changed. Everybody is really enjoying here.
We are really blessed. May the God let us see
the happiness of our kids till we die.
One prayer. One wish. That is what is remaining.
Ravi's marriage. Who, do you think, he'll choose as his life partner?
All five of them are extremely smart.
All of them are equal in our eyes.
But who knows, what is there in his heart?
I just want him to select one among those five.
Only then, will I give my bank balance
shares and personal properties to him.
If he chooses any other girl as his life partner
then I'll not give him a single penny.
Shouldn't he know that you have an idea like this?
He must not know.
Before this vacation gets over
let him fall in love with one of the five girls.
Only then will it be natural. Till then, let it be a secret. - Yes.
I won't let it remain a secret Colonel CR Menon.
So, this is what your plan is.
Naughty girl! Were you hiding under this?
Our plan has failed.
She will tell this to everyone.
So, you came here with all your grandchildren for this purpose.
Not bad. - Ami.
If you tell this to anyone
I won't talk to you. For sure.
I don't care.
I feel suffocated when I keep secrets.
I'll go and tell this to those girls and Ravi.
Ami! Are you not my dear?
What will you give? - What is there to give?
Give me Rs. 1000. - Blackmailing.
Yes. If I get that money, I will bear the suffocation.
It would be better if you give that.
There is no need to count it, Grandpa.
If you betray us after taking the money..
I'll try my best. Do you have home-made wine with you?
Will you give me a peg? - Go away.
She should have been born as a boy.
She is the smartest of the lot.
Lawrence, please take this and leave. - Not that..
Your boss's anger will subside when he sees this money.
This won't do. - Go, Lawrence.
Unless he gets the principal amount, he won't remain quiet.
He'll come here. Sometimes, his nature is very bad.
My situation is very bad.
I don't have any money to give.
The people from the bank are also after me.
That manager, Dasan
cheated me and ran away with Rs. 5 lakhs.
You know about that too. Go and manage, somehow.
Managing means..
Managing means, just manage! That's all.
If there is no other option, give some rat poison to your boss.
And you can enjoy the rest of the money.
Go, Lawrence. - Listen..
Leave now!
My God! Why did you put me in this situation?
What are you doing here? - I went to the post office.
Sent a lot of cards, made phone calls
brought some chocolates for the kids
and did some more shopping.
Grandpa gave me some pocket money.
What is the reason behind this sly smile?
Who is Lawrence?
Lawrence? - Yes.
My friend. My very close friend. Why did you ask?
Do you give money to your close friends when they come to meet you?
Were you watching everything from there?
Yes.
You are omnipresent, after all.
Are financial problems worrying you too much?
I do have some small problems. Why?
There is a way to solve all your problems.
What way? Which way?
I am not supposed to tell it to you.
It's okay, I'll tell you. Listen carefully.
'If you marry one of the five cousins'
'grandpa's personal properties will become yours.'
What? - Didn't you understand?
Say it in a language that I can understand.
This is Kannada. - Make it in Malayalam.
Tell me what it means in Malayalam.
It's your job to find out its meaning.
I'll repeat it once more. Listen carefully.
'If you marry one of the five cousins'
'grandpa's personal property will become yours.'
'If you marry one of the five cousins'
'grandpa's personal properties will become yours.'
'If you marry one of the five cousins'
'grandpa's personal properties will become yours.'
'If you marry one of the five cousins, grandpa's..'
Hello! - Hello!
'Grandpa's..' I forgot..
I have told you several times not to greet me without my permission.
Do you know Kannada? - No, I'm not that bad.
Don't make jokes. This is serious.
Ami said something to me in Kannada.
If we know the meaning of it in Malayalam, we'll get the clue.
What is the matter? Tell me. Let me hear.
I can understand a little Kannada.
'If you marry one of the five cousins'
'grandpa's personal properties will become yours.'
Is this Kannada? - Yes, it is.
The Kannada that I know is not like this.
Just say that you don't know Kannada.
If only there was someone who knew..
Here he is. - Where? - What?
It is me, Monai! - What?
That is correct. He was in Punjab for some days.
Don't make fun of me.
Say it in Kannada, I'll translate it into Malayalam.
Go ahead. - Tell me.
'If you marry one of the five cousins'
'grandpa's personal properties will become yours.'
Is it only this much? - Yes.
This is very silly. - Then say it.
Shall I say? - Yes.
'Five cousins'
means five cousins. - What..
Correct? - Yes.
'One of the' doesn't mean anything.
Why wouldn't it mean anything? Tell me what it means.
Shall I tell the meaning? - Yes. What is your name? - Ravi Shankar.
Tell this in Kannada.
It's the same in Kannada. - Yes.. - Isn't it?
Now, you understand why it doesn't mean anything.
Now the meaning of the line, 'If you marry' is..
Mother Mary? - It's not that. This is liqueur.
Yes. - It is a rosemary liqueur found in Karnataka.
Only for sale in Karnataka. - Yes.. - 'Personal properties' means..
What does it mean? - To talk personally.
It's not that.
To go there personally to buy it. In short
after getting intoxicated by drinking the rosemary liqueur
if you go to that girls' room and create a commotion
grandpa will change the shapes of your faces.
Hit him. - Don't hit me..
Sit down.
Aparna. - Yes. - What did you say?
This vacation isn't thrilling, right? - Yes.
The thrill is just beginning, my dear.
Yes! Look here, how is that?
Oh, gosh! What is this? - Wine?
Yes, wine.
Where did you get this from? - I bought it from a wine shop.
God! You are really courageous.
Ami, are we going to drink it?
No. We are going to wash our faces with this.
Take out the glasses instead of asking stupid questions.
Let me open it.
Not bad.
Please, Ami. I don't want it.
I'll hit you and break those specs if you don't have it. Take it.
If grandpa comes to know..
If you tell this to anyone
I'll thrash you.
Don't we need to pour water in this?
In wine? Fool.
I should be beaten up for inviting you to drink with me.
Gin would have been more apt as per my standards.
But you are not mature enough to drink that.
That is why I brought wine.
Wait..
My god! Cigarette? - Yes.
I have smoked a cigarette. Once.
Is it? Show it to me. - No, I can't handle it.
Let us drink it before anyone sees.
Come on. Cheers!
Do you want pickle as a side dish?
My God.. Come on..
I knew you were the smartest in the gang.
But I didn't know the level of your smartness till now.
This is just for fun.
Since all of us were together.. It is wine.
It's just a mild drink.
That's how one starts drinking.
You can taste the stronger ones later.
Let us go to grandpa.
If I don't tell this to your grandpa now
you will become more mischievous.
Come, let us go.
Dennis. - Yes.
Forgive me for this.
I swear to the Gods
that I will never repeat this.
Should I forgive you? - Yes, Dennis.
I'll forgive. But you must tell me the meaning of the other thing.
'If you marry one of the five cousins..'
That? - Yes.
Should I say? - You must.
That is nothing. - Grandpa!
Dennis! - Yes.
I'll tell. - 'If you marry one of the five cousins..'
What nonsense is this?
Buddy! I got the meaning.
I made her tell it. - What is it?
That is.. If you marry one of the five cousins
grandpa's personal properties will become yours.
That is the matter. - Dennis!
That old man is really rich.
If I get his property, I can live like a king.
Don't you want to know who that girl is? - For what?
I can choose any girl among them. Isn't that enough?
That is not enough.
What if the girl whom you propose to, doesn't like you?
What if she loves someone else? - Oh.
So, it is better to marry the girl who loves you.
That is correct, but we have not got any clue about her yet. - Oh.
I have one clue with me.
I have repaired the tape recorder
and have fixed the tape too.
If you complain about this tape recorder again
I'll break this into pieces and give it to the horse to eat.
Give it to me..
Hey. That cassette.. - Play it.
God! There should not be any problem.
"For all the births that I have been in search for you"
"my love for you has been as much, my love." - Buddy!
What is it?
Someone switched on the light upstairs. - What?
"The shores afar"
"and the silent stars" - Is it Jyothi?
"are my witness." - I think it is that SP's daughter
from Trivandrum. - You mean Devika. No..
It can't be her. Is it Aparna?
"For all the births.." - Is it Gayatri?
The one who wants to do IAS? - Yes.
From the body shape, I feel it is Gayatri.
Hit him.
It is gone.. The tape recorder got spoilt again.
She's gone too.
You!
Don't kill me..
'It's really sad that you haven't recognised me, still.'
'Sorry.'
'I feel really sorry, man. Yours..'
"..in search for you"
"my love for you has been as much, my love."
Hello! What are you peeking at?
So, it is you. - Of course, it is me.
Thank God, you remember my face. - Are you trying to be sarcastic?
There is no need for that. I always had a doubt on you.
Shall I wake up Ravi and tell him? - What?
Come on, Abhirami. There is no need to deny it. It's you.
Mr. Dennis, all my cousins said that you are slightly mad.
But I didn't believe them. But now..
Whatever that may be, I just don't care.
Wasn't it you, who came near the window
and looked at the outhouse yesterday?
Yes, it was me.
I couldn't sleep properly, last night.
The song that I heard from your outhouse
is still there in my mind.
I could not hear it fully. Will you give me that tape?
Wasn't it you, who sent that song?
There is no way that it could be her.
She won't propose like an ordinary girl.
Do ordinary girls
send cats through the courier service to propose?
I doubt her. She is too smart. - That is correct.
Can't the girl who loves me
come to me directly and say
'Dear, I would like to marry you'?
There is no thrill in that. We must find her.
We must find out that girl
from that gang
and ask her. - Do you remember this face?
Not that. - Then?
Don't try to fool a genius.
Or else we could say, 'You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours'.
How is it relevant in this situation?
It isn't, right? That's not important anyway.
But first, we must know who she is.
Then I'll have to marry her as soon as possible.
Then, I'll get hold of grandpa's property.
I'll clear all my debts with it. Then, a fantastic farm..
Hundreds of cows which will be milked by machines.
I'll take rest only after closing down Amul.
My dear idiot! First, find out who she is.
Then we can think about closing down Amul.
That song is the only way to find out about her.
I have an idea.
I can make her sing that song.
Eureka!
Our honourable chief guests, Colonel CR Menon
and Mrs. Menon have come. Yes!
What is this, Ravi? What is she talking about?
What is the matter?
Children are getting bored.
So we have planned some programs for entertainment.
Hello! What are the programs that you have planned?
Programs? - Programs.. Song
songs, love songs, duet songs, group songs, songs..
Even if we don't have any other programs, we must have songs!
A song is a must. - Very good..
Who are the participants? - Participants?
Even you can take part in it.
Okay, both of you can sing a duet song and dance.
Come on. - Go away.
Best performer will get a prize too.
Grandpa will give that. Cash prize.
Okay. - Is cash prize required?
Yes.. - Rs. 1000 must be given.
Are you the one to decide that?
I just gave a suggestion. - Leave it..
You don't have to fight for that. He will give Rs. 1000. - Yes..
Stop.. If the program is bad, can we howl?
I hope there won't be an extra tax for that.
If possible, help us.
Enough.. We'll start. - Yes.
Who is ready to sing first? - I am ready, sir.
Yes.. - First, I'll perform. - Not possible..
We want Monai to perform.. - Yes.. - Okay..
Like a curtain raiser
we'll have a small performance by Monai. - Yes.
Yes, a small performance.
Ravi sir, you must help me. - How?
Okay. - Will you mimic an elephant, Mr. Monai?
I have already done that, dear.
Now, I'll mimic a rat. Okay? - Okay..
Monai is going to mimic a rat who is complaining to the God
about the nuisance created by the cats. - Yes. - Okay..
I'll show you the rat's expression
when it is told that a cat has come.
Okay.. - Shall we start. - Yes.. - Ready, sir.
Ready.
Oh, Lord Ganapathy, the son of Lord Shiva.
Save this innocent rat.
The cats are creating a lot of trouble these days.
If you don't kick out these rascals from here
I'll have to avenge them.
A cat has come here!
Superb, Monai! Superb.
Thank you. No mention, please!
Now we'll start with singing. - Monai must sing..
Please. - Okay.
"Come.." - Monai just performed now.
Now, one of you should sing a song. - Yes.
Please, come forward and sing.
I have understood your plan. The song from cassette..
Don't you know how to sing? - Yes. Aparna will sing.
"Sometimes in my heart"
"a thought emerges.." - This is Hindi.
Hindi is not allowed.
Do you want a song in English?
That is not allowed at all. - Yes..
Malayalam? - Yes, Malayalam.
Not only that.
It should be a song that we have not heard before.
How can we sing a song that no one has heard before?
For example, Ravi will sing the first four lines
of a song that we haven't heard before.
Whoever sings the rest, will get a special prize. Okay?
Okay..
"For all the births that I have been in search for you"
"my love for you has been as much, my love."
"The shores afar and the silent stars are my witnesses."
"For all the births that I have been in search for you."
Now sing the rest.
Someone in this gang knows the rest of this song.
Come on.
It's a good song. Sing the rest of it, Ravi.
Let one of them sing the rest. That is what the competition is.
We don't know..
Sing the rest of the song, Ravi.
Even I don't know the rest of the song.
He is lying. I have heard this song being played
in their outhouse on the tape recorder.
Ravi knows. He is just showing off.
I forgot. - Really? Then memorise it and come back.
I'll do that and then.. - Stop it..
Monai.. - Don't.. - Okay..
Now I will perform. - Yes.. Monai..
I'll put a rope around my neck. - Okay.
You must pull it. - Okay. - I'll come to you then.
Move away! - Hey..
They are jealous.. - Once more.. - Okay.
I'll kill this pig.
Our plan failed because of Monai. - I will.. - Come with me..
Ami! All the best. - Thank you!
Can I howl if you fall? - Sure.
But if I ride this horse around this farm
you'll have to do what I say.
Do you actually know to ride?
What a question?
There is no use of knowing to ride. This is an art.
Watch. I'll show you.
Abhirami! Don't. He is violent.
He doesn't allow strangers to ride on him. Get down.
How should I get know him?
Should I go on a date with him? I didn't understand what you said.
You'll understand when you fall down.
If you are really eager to ride, there is a pony here.
You can ride in that.
Alright. Learn it the hard way.
I'll learn.
Go.
Why is he not moving?
Should we push it?
Go, I say. Go.
Go.
Sorry, Ami! - Does the art of riding
involve falling down like this?
Shut up.
We might fall sometimes.
That doesn't mean that I'm defeated.
I'll show you.
We must learn from our falls.
That is what a sensible person does.
It'll be foolishness to repeat mistakes to satisfy one's ego.
Someone like you shouldn't do that.
It is okay to be smart.
But it won't be good if you cross the limits.
Okay?
Come on.
Please, help her.
She might find it difficult to walk.
Should I pick you up, Ami? - I'll hit you.
No, Ami! That is not needed. It is a bit too much.
Dumb girl! Do as I say!
That day, he spoilt our wine session.
And today..
I fell down because he signalled the horse.
I'll have to teach him a lesson.
I am really tensed.
Nonsense. You are not doing anything.
When you hear me scream
call out to grandpa. That is enough. Come.
Come on.
Snake.. Please, come fast..
There is a snake in the bathroom.
Come fast. Snake..
Where is the snake? Where? - It is not a snake. It is a horse.
First, I thought it was a snake.
Then it changed shape and became a horse.
There is an expert rider along with him, Dennis.
Abhirami! Don't play.
It is not enough that only I learn from downfalls.
You should learn too.
What are you doing? - I haven't done anything yet.
Somebody, please help me. He is in the bathroom. - What..
Grandpa! Come fast.. Grandma..
Grandpa! Come fast. Ami is crying.
She is in the bathroom in the outhouse.
Please, save me.. Grandpa.. - Move away..
He is trying to touch me. Grandpa. - I wasn't trying to touch you.
I was trying to open the door.. - Help! Come fast!
What is it? What happened to Ami?
Ami.. - Dear, Ami!
Grandpa, come fast.. Grandma! Come fast..
What is it? What happened?
Abhirami! In the bathroom.. She called me
saying that there was a snake.
Snake? - She was joking.
Grandpa!
When I went to the washroom, he came behind me.
Then he told me that he loved me.
No, she is lying.
Abhirami! Don't lie!
When she screamed out that there was a snake..
He is lying. You can check if there is a snake inside.
I don't want to live anymore. I'll commit suicide.
Dear! Don't cry. - No. She is lying.
Sir, she is lying.
Get lost, you scoundrel!
You must throw that scoundrel out.
I would have thrown him out myself.
But he is your friend. That is why I am asking you to do that.
We can't keep him here anymore.
Grandpa! He is my partner. How can I ask him to go?
Why do you want to have a partnership
with a dirty man like him?
You will have to break the partnership.
Tell me how much his investment is.
I'll give that money. Give him that and send him away.
Grandpa! It's not a big deal.
He entered the bathroom by mistake.
Look, Ravi! I came to know about his character
when he entered the girls' room that day with the kitten.
Today he entered the bathroom..
We don't know what he'll do next.
So, do what I say.
There are five grown-up girls here..
During the Indo-Pak war, I had led the bomb squad
and crossed the Pakistan border.
But the tension that I have now while living
with these five grown-up girls in this house
is thousand times more that that.
Grandpa, I can't ask him to go.
That's just not possible.
I'll tell him. I'll throw his share of money on his face
and will ask him to go to hell.
I am indebted to him.
I have a commitment.
He has saved my life.
Saved your life?
Yes, Grandpa. Two and a half years ago, on an April night
there was an accident at the Mettukulam - Bison Valley route.
A lorry rammed into my jeep. I lay there, soaked in blood.
While I cried out your names, many people passed by me.
But nobody stopped to help me.
At last, it was Dennis, who admitted me in the hospital.
Then he gave me four.. No. Six bottles of blood. - My God!
I'm still alive because of that blood.
Why didn't you tell us about this?
I was waiting for the right time.
That might be true.
But he does not have a good character.
I'll make sure that he doesn't do anything wrong again.
How can we ignore this incident?
Actually, what happened?
It is not very clear to me. - He peeped inside the toilet
when Sister Ami went there to freshen up - Go away.
Where is Ami? - She is here.
Come here.
Why did you go to the toilet in the outhouse?
Shouldn't I go to a toilet when I have to pee?
What is the use of going to the kitchen for that?
There are many toilets in this house.
Then, why did you go to the toilet in the outhouse?
I felt like peeing when I reached there.
Did you cry out saying that there was a snake in the toilet?
No..
What is this, Ravi? Who does that in the toilet?
I have heard some people singing songs.
I don't even do that.
Didn't you do this to avenge him
because you fell from that horse?
Oh, God.
Shouldn't I be angry with the horse then?
You speak as though I fell from the top of Dennis.
Shut up.
Everybody locks the toilet after getting in.
Don't you do so?
Yes, I do lock the door.
Then how did Dennis get into the closed bathroom?
The lock is damaged. - You are lying.
There is nothing wrong with the lock of that bathroom.
Let's go check.
She might have forgotten to lock the door.
Is it a big mistake to enter an open bathroom?
Gayatri, stop there.
What really happened there?
Actually.. Ravi.. Nothing.
I will not consider the fact that you are a grown-up girl now.
I'll hit you. Tell me the truth. - Truth.. Ami..
I fooled everyone.
I did it to make Dennis feel ashamed.
Dennis came inside because I had cried out for help.
Did you hear? She is someone who will urinate publicly
if you offer her just Rs.10.
I had a doubt when she made a big issue out of this.
She should be slapped. - There is no need to hit her.
Ami, come here.
Did my dear do this for fun? - Yes. - You!
Go there. Stand in that corner, facing the wall.
Don't move from there, until I ask you to.
Can I talk from there? - Hey!
Hey! Go there. - Okay.
This punishment is not enough for her.
She must be hanged upside down.
Call Dennis. I must apologise to him.
That's not enough.
All of you must talk to him more affectionately.
When he heard that you were coming for vacation
he was so happy.
He is an orphan.
You must love him like you love me.
Please! This is my request. - Poor child.
We avoided him a lot.
Sorry, man! I feel really sorry.
She is too naughty.
No hard feelings.
Ma'am! I am really enjoying all this.
For a person like me, who has no one to love or hate
this is a gift from the Gods.
When I talk and play with these kids
I treat them like my own family.
A brother, an uncle.. All these relations are new to me.
So, if small mistakes happen from my side
you must forgive me.
No, dear. Just like Ravi, even you are our child now.
Everyone will consider you like that.
Thanking you won't be enough. But still, for saving Ravi's life..
I saved Ravi's life?
If you had turned left
on the Mettukulam - Bison valley route
would you have seen me soaked in blood?
That? That was just God's grace.
Yes. Instead of taking the credit for that
you consider it as God's grace.
That is your greatness, Dennis.
Why is Abhirami standing, facing the wall?
That is her punishment. - No, Grandpa! Let her go.
She'll not change unless she is punished.
She is like this because uncle Balan wasn't strict with her.
Whatever it may be, but she is typical.
She has a peculiar character which none of the children here, have.
There is a reason for that, Mr. Dennis.
I don't really belong to this family. I'm adopted.
You don't know that story, do you?
My so called father, Mr. Balachandran
and his wife, Malini, didn't have any children.
They waited for three years.
Then, they went to an orphanage and adopted me.
Who knows, to whom I was born?
I'm sure they were troublemakers.
But why did they discard me?
They might have realised that I would become a troublemaker too.
Ami! What are you saying? Enough.
Don't you like me, Grandpa? - Everyone likes you.
Yes, everyone likes me.
But I don't like myself, at times.
I'm a bad girl. Really bad.
One day, I'll make everyone say that.
Then, one day, this bad girl will run away
from her grandparents, her parents and her dear cousins.
No one will feel bad about it.
They'll feel good that she ran away.
Don't love me.
I'm not fit to be loved.
I don't want anyone's love.
What is Ami's problem?
She is upset about something.
The gloominess when she came, was fading away.
Grandpa! - Yes!
We'll go inside after you are done enjoying the view here.
This is the cattle shed. There are special breeds of cows here.
Wonderful!
Ravi! - Yes.
I love everything here, except one thing.
The name of this farm!
How is Bethlehem connected to us?
Also, the name suggests that Dennis holds the major shares.
Grandpa.. We can't change the name.
Didn't I tell you? We bought this from a foreigner.
He is quite sentimental about this name.
I will explain that later. Let's go and see the cow.
Okay! - Please, come. Welcome. Thank you.
Beautiful cows!
Really. Which breed are these?
All of them are the most modern breeds.
All imported from Denmark.
What have you named them? - Name..
Steffi Graf, Merlene Ottey, Shilpa Shetty.
Her brother is at the bull shed. Sunil Shetty!
Martina Navratilova. - Is that one name?
Yes. She is from Spain.
We use machines to milk them. - Mr. Ravi.
We are gone! Lawrence and his boss are coming here.
Who? - He owes them money.
Dennis owes them money.
Mr. Dennis owes them money.
Mr. Ravi. My boss is here.
Mr. Ravi. I am the manager.
I'll follow. - Stop there.
Come.
Don't jump. There is cow dung..
Ami!
Yes, Dennis.
Why are you sitting here alone, Ami?
I felt like it.
One should have some time for themselves, right?
No.
The entire family feels bad
when you sit alone or cry.
You are the centre of their lives.
Please, try not to hurt them.
Dennis.
It's not intentional. I am unable to do that, at times.
Maybe, I only know to behave like this.
Or, like I said, it could be genetic. My parent's characters
have something to do with the way I behave.
Genetic Engineering is sheer nonsense.
Ami, do you realise the problem?
You have a misjudgement about yourself.
You have a feeling that you are above all.
A kind of superiority complex.
Do you know about me?
I am an orphan. A born orphan.
Like me? - Not at all like you.
You have a dad.
You have a mom, grandparents and many relatives.
They didn't just adopted you but made you their own.
But, I don't have anyone like that.
Rukes & Welson, a British Indian Company
had raised me.
That Calcutta based company
sent money orders every month and sponsored my education.
When I grew up, I started investigating
the connection between that company and me.
To put it in your language, I tried to find out
if there was any genetic connection between us.
I couldn't find out. No one told me about it.
One fine day, I went to Calcutta to look for that company.
But that yellow Victorian building had already closed down.
They wound up the company. The foreigners returned.
They didn't go just like that.
They deposited a huge amount of money in my bank account.
My patrons went away after making me a rich orphan.
A story about a boy who went from rag to riches.
Just like a fairy tale.
The time of pain and suffering are long gone.
I have tried to not hurt anyone.
I have tried to help people and love them.
I am able to do it.
Can't you do the same, Ami?
Yes, Dennis. I understand.
If your problem is really big, then share it with someone.
Lessen the burden by sharing it.
Sure.
I think I can share it with you.
I think so.
Good!
Dennis, I like you.
You can surely become a good friend.
I have heard that early morning dream comes true, is it right?
Did you dream of something, Monai?
What did you dream of?
A wedding in a beautiful church.
It was a night filled with mist.
The sky was full of stars and angels.
The groom came on a white horse.
It was you, sir.
Did you get to see the girl?
I got up while I was about to see the face of the girl, sir.
Oh, no. - But, sir.
I think it was that girl.
Isn't it, sir? Tell me.
Tell me, sir. - Stay calm.
"As one more night bids adieu"
"and the sunlight falls whilst humming a song"
"you are the feather of beauty that wafts"
"and settles next to me."
"As one more night bids adieu"
"and the sunlight falls whilst humming a song"
"you are the feather of beauty that wafts"
"and settles next to me."
"In my travels, that have gone on for many days"
"oh, dear, dream that has sought my heart"
"are you draped in petals"
"waiting to blossom in front of my eyes?"
"Waiting to blossom in front of my eyes.."
"As the night was giving way to dawn"
"and I lay alone, with my eyes open"
"a breeze came with love and disappeared"
"after caressing my forehead."
"After caressing my forehead."
"As one more night bids adieu"
"and the sunlight falls whilst humming a song.."
"On a path in the forest decked with mist"
"while you were straining your ears to listen to the shepherd's song"
"did you hear the song"
"emanating from my mind?"
"Emanating from my mind.."
"In my corridor which is filled with shadows"
"you are the lamp that has flowered with mercy."
"Forever, I will protect you from every breeze"
"that tries to blow your light out."
"That tries to blow your light out."
"As one more night bids adieu"
"and the sunlight falls whilst humming a song"
"you are the feather of beauty that wafts"
"and settles next to me."
Is it you, Ami?
What brings you here at night?
Are you crying?
No, Dennis. Not at all.
I'm smiling. See!
What is this? What is the matter?
Anything serious?
No.
I'll call Ravi and grandpa.
No, you won't tell anyone that you saw me crying here.
Then there is something wrong. You must tell me.
A girl shouldn't be so secretive.
Dennis! You shouldn't tell anyone!
Are you threatening me? - Yes, or consider it as blackmailing.
What will you blackmail me with?
I know a big secret of yours.
I gave Monai a bottle of brandy that I had stolen from grandpa.
Have it, Monai! - I'll drink.
I blurt out my feelings when I am drunk.
I hope that's not a problem. - Not at all.
Both of them don't give you liquor, right?
They give me only three pegs in a month.
Can't you drink it without their knowledge?
Don't think that I am saying this because they are my bosses.
They are very cheap. They put a mark on the bottle.
So, they easily find out when I drink from that and beat me.
Isn't Dennis the worst?
Both are competing with each other.
They are trying to find out who is the worst among them.
Dennis is really shameless. - Who said it?
The other day, his trousers fell off and he was feeling shy..
I'll hit you.
I didn't mean that.
He says he is a working partner and hangs around.
Let's not get there. Else, I'll become indecent.
Ravi said that he is going to dismiss him.
Whom? - Dennis!
He is going to discontinue the partnership with him.
Cheap Dennis! Indecent Dennis! - I'm warning you.
If you talk about that, I'll become indecent.
Why do you feel bad when I talk about Dennis?
Isn't Ravi Shankar your boss?
Ravi Shankar, my foot! Don't make me talk.
Tell me if you dare!
You'll be shocked if I do! - We'll see!
You can't shock me.
I'll tell you. - If you are brave, tell me the truth.
Useless Dennis! - Useless.
Not you. Ravi Shankar is useless.
This farm and the house belongs to Dennis.
Your Ravi doesn't own anything here.
He is not fit to even clean the horse dung here.
Don't throw it. - I won't.
If I say this, the cat will be out of the bag.
Let everyone know what the truth is.
I'm going to hit that Monai today. - Hit him.
Make sure you hit him while he is awake.
You should leave, Dennis. People might misunderstand us.
They'll assume that we have some secret business.
Go..
The bank manager was looking for you.
Did you see him? - No.
He asked me what your height was.
Height?
Oh, has he passed my agricultural loan?
It may not be for the agricultural loan.
They might want to know your height to order the apt coffin for you.
I'll hit you. - Hey.
What happened to grandpa's personal properties?
You don't have to ask me that, every time you see me.
You had said you'll find the girl.
If the marriage doesn't take place soon
I'll have to get into a coffin soon.
I'll go. Did you see Lawrence?
Don't tell him where I am, when you see him. - Okay.
Sir, while talking about Lawrence, I remembered one thing. - What?
We must find out the girl who loves Ravi.
We must be sure that she is not the girl whom you like.
You are right. We must find that out at any cost. But how?
How? You should ask her directly. That's all.
I don't believe this. Did you roam around with that cat
and asked us to sing to find out this?
You must have approached me before.
I would have easily identified the person. - Stop praising yourself.
I want to know whether it was you who sent that.
If I love a man, I'll tell him directly.
Or else, I'll pick up the phone and tell him directly
that I love him and can't live without him.
To send a cat through a courier service
along with a cassette with a song recorded in that..
Only lame girls do that.
I don't fall in that category. I am very sorry.
So it is not you, right? That is enough.
I was hoping.. - Did you think it was me?
No.. I didn't. I was sure it wasn't you.
Why are you so interested in this matter?
Ravi! I have promised him that I'll find that girl for him.
Okay, I'll help you.
Hey!
Where did this courier come from?
Monai lost that address. - Oh.
We also forgot, in all the excitement.
That would have been easier..
If it was from Hyderabad, then it would have been Aparna.
Delhi would mean Gayatri.
We could find out like that.
We have asked Monai to search in the garbage. - Okay.
These girls are smart. I didn't get to know anything about this.
Who could it be? - Sir, I have got it.
The courier address. - Did you get it?
I had to look through the entire pile of garbage.
'Diana couriers.' This is it.
Where is it from? - It is a fake address and name.
But I got the place it came from.
Is it you? - Ami! Who is the girl?
You waited this long. Wait for some more time. - Oh, no.
What a girl!
Did you read the address? - Of course.
From where is it? - Jalandhar.
Jalandhar? - Yes.
Did you read? - Yes.
How do you spell 'Jalandhar'?
'Q'. - 'Q'?
'U'.. 'R'.. 'S'.. 'T'.. 'Dhar'!
'A'.. 'R'.. Jalandhar.
Why did you hit me for spelling it?
Hey.. I like lies.
But only when I am the one saying it.
I swear it isn't me.
I have no such feelings for Ravi. - I'll hit you.
If it wasn't you, how did it
come from Trivandrum?
That is.. - No more lies. Tell me the truth.
Except you, everyone was in Trivandrum at that time.
Gayatri, Aparna, Jyothi. All of them had come there.
All of us went together, to grandpa's place.
They were there for ten days.
All four of you were there in Trivandrum for ten days.
Is it really not you? - I swear to God. - Oh, no.
Who could it be? Any idea?
Aparna. - Why?
She always talks about Ravi.
Whenever she gets time, she plays with that cat too.
If I ask her, she'll never accept.
I'll ask her. She'll tell me the truth.
Then catch her red handed. Come on.
Aparna. - Yes.
Come here. - Lunch is not ready.
We'll prepare a feast instead of a lunch.
Come here. - I knew something was going on when Ami called you.
Is there a plan to drink wine like the other day?
I am sure something is going on.
Yes, we are arranging a marriage. Come on.
"Old MacDonald had a farm."
Believe me, Devika. - Congrats, Aparna!
It is not her. - What?
Ami, I have not thought of him like that.
From the day I went to Trivandrum, I was sick.
How can I go out, then? I went out hardly two times.
That was to see a doctor. Devika had accompanied me for that.
I hope you are not lying. - No, man.
Then.. - Two more girls are left.
Yes. Come on, we'll do a joint attack.
Yes!
Shut up.
Ami! One of us is deeply in love with Ravi.
Madly in love with him. - We know who that is.
But we won't tell it to you. - No matter how much you try
we won't tell..
I'll find out. - Go ahead. Till then..
"You are.."
"You are my hero number one."
Come, children. Come. Lunch is ready. Come on..
"You are.."
"You are my hero number one."
"You are.." I'll surely find out.
Ravi! Ravi!
Half of the problem is solved.
What problem?
Why have you lit a lamp in the afternoon?
Are you mad? - Don't disturb and get lost.
The cat was sent by either Jyothi or Gayatri.
I don't care who it is. Go away, Dennis.
I'm meditating.
At the end of my meditation, I'll tell a name.
I'll marry her. I'll marry only her, surely.
The cat and the dog can go to hell. You can go, Dennis.
You are out of your mind.
'If you marry one of the five cousins'
'grandpa's personal properties will become yours.'
"Five beautiful and fair girls"
"like the precious pearls"
"are standing in front of me, Lord Shiva."
"Who is my bride among them?"
"Save me from this hell."
"Lord Shiva.."
"Help me solve this confusion."
"Please, help me solve this confusion."
"Help me solve this confusion."
"Please, help me solve this confusion."
"Oh, Lord Shiva, the one who bears the river Ganga"
"and the moon's crescent on his head."
"Why did you give me this problem?"
"Oh, Lord Shiva, the one who bears the river Ganga"
"and the moon's crescent on his head."
"Why did you give me this problem?"
"Lord Shiva.."
"Oh, Lord Shiva.."
"Help me solve this confusion."
"Please, help me solve this confusion."
"Help me solve this confusion."
"There are no cows in my farm."
"There are no loans left to take."
"I have not paid cash in the bank."
"Above me is the blue sky, below me, there are potholes"
"and in front of me, there is only hell."
Naughty!
"I must get married to put an end on my miserable times."
"You must show mercy on me, Lord Shiva."
"I must get married to put an end on my miserable times."
"You must show mercy on me, Lord Shiva."
"Lord Shiva.."
"Oh, Lord Shiva.."
"Help me solve this confusion."
"Please, help me solve this confusion."
"Everything is magic. It is a magical game."
"Oh, Lord, who gives us food."
"Like the snake, put me around your neck"
"and save me."
Okay.
"If you just come once and bless me"
"all my problems will be solved, Lord."
"If you just come once and bless me"
"all my problems will be solved, Lord."
"Lord Shiva.."
"Oh, Lord Shiva.."
"Help me solve this confusion."
"Please, help me solve this confusion."
"Help me solve this confusion."
"Please, help me solve this confusion."
"Oh, Lord Shiva, the one who bears the river Ganga"
"and the moon's crescent on his head."
"Why did you give me this problem?"
"Oh, Lord Shiva, the one who bears the river Ganga"
"and the moon's crescent on his head."
"Why did you give me this problem?"
"Lord Shiva.."
"Oh, Lord Shiva.."
Grandma! - Yes.
What is it, dear?
What is it? Any happy news?
Yes, a happy news. I have decided
with whom I would spend the rest of my life.
Fix the marriage. I'm ready.
Who is it? - Who is it?
Wait. It is a surprise.
Ravi! Tell us and go. - My dear! Tell me and go.
Rogue! Who could it be? - Wait. It is a surprise.
Abhirami.
Yes.
You are not serious.
No, Dennis!
I have decided.
She knows about my real situation to some extent.
She doesn't seem to have many high hopes in life, either.
The rest of them are highly ambitious.
I wouldn't be able to satisfy their needs.
She is simple and down to earth.
Above all, she has common sense.
What about the one who loves you, the one who sent that cat?
That wasn't anything serious. I can't run behind that anymore.
If she was serious about that
she would have disclosed herself by now.
This is enough.
Did you talk to her?
No. I want your help with this. I'm leaving to bring my mom.
By the time I return, you must speak to her.
Me?
Yes. We must get to know her opinion about this.
I'm shy to present it to her.
I am sure she won't refuse this proposal.
Just handle this situation, somehow. I shall leave.
Mr. Dennis.. - Careful. All of you, come.
That's it..
Don't fight.. Okay? - This is for me..
I'll just come now. Keep playing.
I didn't get it. Give it to me.
Your balloon..
Did the children trouble you? - No, I'm enjoying.
The lost childhood, nostalgia..
Are you experiencing these concepts described in literature?
In my lost childhood, there was nothing worth remembering.
Orphanage was all about the disciplined life.
But these feelings are new to me.
I'm lucky in this matter.
I got parents who loved me very much.
Every vacation there used to be tours.
All the cousins used to unite in those days.
We used to sleep in one room.
We used to play and fight together.
That is how each day used to start.
Our acts were unpredictable.
But the problem now is that we grew up.
Childhood, like a bonsai, should remain still.
Even after becoming an adult, your mischiefs and pranks
haven't reduced.
I pretend to be mischievous to make everyone happy.
A big surprise is waiting for you.
Can you guess?
A surprise for me, you say?
No, Dennis! There is only one news waiting to reach me.
I don't know whether I'll be there to listen to that.
What did you say? - Nothing. It was a joke.
Shall we leave? I'll call the children.
Okay, it's enough. Come on.
Get inside the car..
'I can't tell her, Ravi.'
Stupid.
Did you tell her?
You might not have told her.
In the end, if you come to me and tell me
that she didn't know that you loved her
I will definitely thrash you.
What the hell are you blabbering? What do you want?
Did you tell her? - What was I supposed to tell her?
So, you don't have anything to tell her, right?
What do you want me to ask?
Ravi has asked me to tell her that he wants to marry her.
Do you want me to ask that to her? - Ravi.. That girl?
How is that possible? That won't work out.
He has got other girls too. Let him marry one of those.
He need not marry this one.
I'll hit you.
They are a family.
We are not a part of that family.
Be a little sensible. - I am senseless.
I only know one thing.
You love that girl. She also likes you.
You have to just express it to each other.
She'll come here at 8 p.m.
Tell her everything that you want to.
Is she coming here? - Yes. She will come at sharp 8 p.m..
It's time. I am going. - Monai!
Where are you going? - To the bathroom.
Don't go..
My God!
What do I..
For some courage..
Dennis!
May I come in?
Ami! Come.. Please, come.
Yes, tell me.
Monai said you had something to tell me.
Is it something very serious?
Ami! I..
I have seen this behaviour in the corners of college campus before.
Inside the library hall
when people go to canteen after bunking classes
in the back-stage during the college day function.
What is the problem?
There is no problem. Nothing.
No? - No.
Okay. Anyway, I like it. I am liking you more every day.
I really like you, Mr. Dennis! - Ami!
They have started to play cards there. I'll go.
Goodnight. Sweet dreams.
Enough. This is enough.
What are you talking about?
I know the meaning
of 'I like you'.
I'll hit you.
Come.
Dennis! This is my mother.
Did you recognise him, Mom?
Fool! You just addressed him by his name.
Are you fine? - Yes.
How is your partner? Is he good? - He is fine.
Mom, in this partnership, I have added another clause.
I have given half my rights on you, to him.
Very good. Even if you get spoilt, I'll have a good son left.
Do you know who they are?
Uncle Balan.
Ami's parents.
That would be an easier way to introduce us to Dennis.
Where are the kids?
She is not enquiring about the kids.
She is only bothered about her daughter.
We'll go inside. Come, Mom. - Yes.
Did you talk to Ami?
No, I could not.
It is all right. It is not required anymore.
I told mom about this.
She spoke to Mr. Balan right away.
Now, they are very happy.
They want to get us married as soon as possible.
I shall go inside. - Okay.
Congrats, Ami..
Congrats? For what?
As if you don't know anything. - Aparna! What is wrong?
Wedding bells will ring soon.
They are fixing the date for your marriage with Ravi.
You are sitting here as if you know nothing.
What will the other two girls do?
The cat and the song didn't help them.
They are fixing my marriage without my consent.
What the hell?
Who said that I'm ready to marry Ravi? Where are they? - Hey.
Ami!
You said you'll have a bath and come.
You are lazy. There is no change in that.
All that will change. She is smart. - Yes. - Come, dear.
Why were you laughing?
When we get together, we get topics to laugh about.
I heard a joke too.
Let us laugh together. I heard that I'm going to marry Ravi.
Aparna and Devika told me about this.
Do you think it is a joke? We have finalised it.
Without asking me? How can you do that?
Ami!
I will decide who my life partner will be.
I have already decided that.
What is wrong with you, Ami? Why are you becoming a rebel?
We are your well-wishers. - I don't want your well wishes.
I'll do as I please. - How dare you talk to your father like that!
What wrong did we do to you?
Why are you treating us like strangers?
Aren't you a stranger to me, in a way?
Other than the fact that you raised me
what rights do you have?
What's wrong with her?
We have never hurt her.
She is paying us back
for the love we showered on her.
I don't want any one's love. Leave me. I'll go away.
Ami! - No.
Ami!
What is wrong with you?
I can't marry you.
Okay.
You can marry the guy you want.
We'll stand by your wish.
It is not possible. - Why?
What if I marry Dennis?
Dennis? - Yes, I like him and he likes me.
What nonsense is she talking? - Uncle Balan. Ami, go.
Ami, go out.
Ravi!
Grandpa, please.
Don't get emotional and create an issue.
Leave this to me. I'll handle this.
All of you know Ami's character.
God! What is wrong with this girl?
Was she serious about that?
What happened? - What happened? - Nothing.
I have a mild pain.
Ravi! - I'll call the doctor.
There is nothing serious.
Go immediately. - Okay.
Ravi!
We have been friends for two and a half years.
I considered you, my closest friend.
I believed that there were no secrets between us.
But you proved me wrong. - Ravi!
You could have told me.
If I had known that you and Ami love each other
I would have been the happiest person.
You didn't understand me. - Ravi! It is not like that.
When you decided to marry Ami..
I told you the reason for that.
Love had nothing to do with my decision.
I randomly made a choice among them. That's all.
I could have told you everything.
It was wrong on my part.
But Ami and I had not discussed anything about it.
I am sad that I had to scold you
instead of congratulating you.
If you had told me before
I would have presented it to others in a planned manner.
She spoilt everything by blurting it out.
Everyone was shocked.
I'll go and get Dr. Samuel and come. - Why?
Grandpa has a chest pain.
I will come too. - No, it's all right.
Ravi said that you were not feeling well.
When I hear bad news, my heart aches.
It is alright.
I didn't do anything to hurt others.
Ami.. - Sorry, Mr. Dennis.
I can't talk right now.
Sir, I have not done anything wrong.
If you don't mind, I need some rest. Will you, please!
Sorry.
Go away, you are bad.
We hate you.
The kids said that they hated me. It hurt me.
Why did she say it like that? - It had to be told.
Did we ever talk about it seriously? Did we decide anything?
It's not her, but you, who has to be blamed.
You encouraged me.
I knew that, at last, everyone would blame me.
It is your fault!
You encouraged me.
What did you say when she said, 'I like you'?
Don't make me say anything. - Sir!
You don't have to make an issue out of it. Go and sleep.
Leave it. - Give me.
Mind your own business.
Ravi might be looking for you.
He'll not look for me anymore.
He doesn't like to see me. What I did was wrong.
After hurting all those people
I don't want to marry anyone.
I just want to get back their love.
Dennis! Rise and shine.
I knew that Jesus was born in the cowshed in Bethlehem.
But I didn't know that you were born in a cowshed too.
You should be slapped
for these stupid jokes of yours.
For you, life is a cheap joke.
Do you know how much it hurts others?
Dennis, why are you shouting?
I have not slapped a girl until now. Today, I may do that.
If you slap me with that hand, I'll die.
And you start to joke again! - Dennis! Come out.
Let us go for a morning walk. It would be nice.
Walk with you? Are you mad?
What relation do we have between us?
Even if there is something in our heart..
There is nothing in my heart.
You said you wanted to marry me. - It was a lie.
I lied. I'm not going to marry you.
I'll not marry anyone. - Ami.
Ami, what is wrong with you?
Come, Dennis.
16th May. They'll kill Niranjan that day.
They'll hang him to death.
Yes, Dennis. That'll be my day too.
I'll also die that day. Suicide.
I have already planned that.
To earn everybody's hatred before that
I lied.
I shouldn't have involved you in that.
Sorry, Dennis.
Who is Niranjan?
I don't know him very well.
I don't know who he is, to me.
He is not my husband. Is he my boyfriend? No.
I do know one thing.
I love him the most, in this world.
I don't want to live in a world where he doesn't exist.
Abhirami!
Don't you want to know more about Niranjan?
I know very little about him.
No one has broken his gold medal record in our college, till date.
He has worked in my college as a guest lecturer.
For a very short span of six months.
Then, I saw him in the city, working as a truck driver.
Then, he became a leader of a labour union in a factory.
Niranjan was the leader of the organisation named 'Red War'.
Ultimately, he bombed an industrialist's car
and killed six people.
He refused to appoint a lawyer for himself, to defend him in court
and accepted the punishment.
What I'm saying is true, Dennis!
I don't know Niranjan.
Neither do I know about revolution and class war
which he always talked about.
I knew only one thing.
I loved him a lot. That's it.
Before I die
my friends are trying to arrange a meeting with him.
If I meet him
I will make him tie me the nuptial necklace.
Dennis, what do you feel for me, now? Hatred or..
No. I can't hate you.
Only you can understand me.
Dennis. Won't I be able to meet Niranjan?
You will meet him.
I'll also come with you to witness that ritual.
Sure, Dennis? Will you be with me?
Yes.
But till you meet Niranjan
don't think about suicide.
You must promise me that.
Don't cry. Go.
Wipe your eyes and go home.
Dennis.
No one should know anything.
If they come to know
I'll not wait untill 16th May.
Grandpa, did you call me?
I wanted to have a fun filled vacation
and wished to see you get married.
But it didn't happen. That's all right.
But I never thought that she'd hurt me so much.
You are mistaken. Ami has not hurt anyone.
If you think she hurt me, that's not true.
You wanted me to marry one of my cousins.
But I didn't fall in love with any of them.
At last, I chose Ami. It wasn't out of love.
It was only a wish.
When she said that she loved someone else
I moved on.
As far as Ami is concerned
she makes her own decisions.
Yes, she takes decisions that hurt us.
For quite some time, she has been trying to do that.
You want a daughter who obeys whatever you say.
That is selfishness.
A daughter is not a doll that you can keep
in a showcase, for years together.
She is an individual.
She has her life. She is the owner of that.
Her wishes and decisions should be seen more liberally.
I am talking about progressive thoughts to a man
whom I have hailed as a genius, since my childhood.
What happened to you?
Knowledge can't win over a father's heart.
A change in perspective. That is what I'm saying.
Let us see this matter from another angle.
Let us think like Ami.
What did she wish for?
What is wrong in that?
If we wish for her happiness and well-being
can't we do what she wants?
What are you saying, Ravi?
I have thought a lot about this.
Even if we are ready to forget everything, what is he?
What eligibility does he have?
He is superior to me in every way.
You are just trying to glorify your friend.
No, Grandpa. It's the truth. I was living a lie till now.
I was enjoying a false image created with his charity.
To give me a respectable position in your eyes
he made me a partner of this farmhouse.
I have no rights on this. This belongs to Dennis.
From the last two and a half years, I have earned only debts
and a barren land.
He was so happy to get a family during these vacations.
He is the one who decorated this house for your arrival.
Without telling anyone
without expecting anything in return
he now lives with his servant in his own outhouse.
Isn't he superior to me?
Why didn't you say this before?
It was my mistake. But my mistake
has made way for a good decision.
Ami found Dennis. Let us get them married.
They'll be the most lucky couple in this world.
We'll get our Ami back. Things will get back to normal.
Please.
It is Balan who has to decide this.
I'm ready to do anything for my daughter's happiness.
Then, there is nothing more to think about.
What Ravi said is right.
Let those kids lead a happy life.
Dennis.
Dennis, Ravi has convinced everyone to get us married.
Our marriage. - What will we do, Dennis?
Wipe those tears. They weaken me.
Let them decide. We won't let it happen.
They are innocent people, it is easy to fool them.
I'm cheating everyone who loves me. Am I not, Dennis?
Yes.
And you are showering all your love on another man.
You are hurting everybody to get the man you love.
In spite of that, I'm not getting anything, Dennis.
You must not cry.
You still have to act a lot with your smiling face.
If you cry, they will come to know that you are acting.
I'm with you.
When this drama gets over, in which we cheat everybody
you must tell me one thing.
What was my role?
A Joker?
A Jester?
Or just a dummy? - Dennis!
You can go.
If I had not met Niranjan
I would have fallen in love with you, Dennis.
You are a very nice man.
What is this? Didn't you find a better time to romance?
Get going!
Dennis.
Your lonely life in Bethlehem and this earth is going to end.
Everyone is happily giving her to you.
You can marry her whenever you want.
But before that, there is an engagement ceremony.
Are you not happy?
"Oh, dear pigeon who plays in her beautiful nest"
"dress up like a bride"
"as your bridegroom is about to come here."
"Apply kohl on the beautiful eyes which are feeling shy."
"On the cool forehead, wear a bindi with vermillion."
"Oh, dear pigeon who plays in her beautiful nest"
"dress up like a bride"
"as your bridegroom is about to come here."
"Summer in Bethlehem.."
How are you doing this?
I am trying. I may never get to enjoy a night like this, again.
"Wear the glowing ornaments"
"play a soothing melody"
"and come here wearing the elegant earrings."
"I will get you a beautiful dress like the blossomed flowers"
"and the sacred nuptial necklace."
"Oh, dear friend"
"I will apply the aromatic scent on you too."
"With your hands adorned with henna"
"and golden bangles.."
"With your heart filled with love.."
"Come this way"
"we will wish you all the happiness in the world."
"Summer in Bethlehem.."
"Oh, dear pigeon who plays in her beautiful nest"
"dress up like a bride"
"as your bridegroom is about to come here."
"If your beautiful lover"
"who composes soothing melodies"
"touches you with love, don't feel too scared."
"If he kisses you"
"and lovingly talks to you"
"don't tremble with fear."
"Like the birds that sing"
"on seeing the bright rainbow"
"you must melt like mist, when he comes near you."
"Embrace him when he comes to you."
"Summer in Bethlehem.."
"Oh, dear pigeon who plays in her beautiful nest"
"dress up like a bride"
"as your bridegroom is about to come here."
"Apply kajal on the beautiful eyes which are feeling shy."
"On the cool forehead, wear a bindi with vermillion."
"Summer in Bethlehem.."
I can meet Niranjan only tomorrow.
He will be hanged, the next day.
I must go, Dennis.
Won't you take me? Answer me. - Tomorrow?
There is no time to waste. We must go right now.
Ami, how can we go without letting them know?
I have to go, Dennis. I must meet Niranjan.
I don't know anything else. I don't want to hear anything else.
If I'm unable to see him, I have an other option too.
Forget the jail
I'll directly go to the place where they are sending him. - Ami.
We'll go.
I'll take you.
Get in.
An engagement ceremony is to be held here, tomorrow.
If it doesn't happen, everybody here will be disheartened.
What Ami is asking for
is more important than a fake engagement.
Didn't you hear what she said?
If we don't go now
they will have to arrange for a funeral, tomorrow.
Sir.. - Monai, no one should know.
You must make sure that no one comes to know.
Sir, look there.
Dennis, go fast.
Dennis!
Where are you going with Ami?
I'll come back and tell you. - Tell me and then go.
I have to go very far. I don't have the time to tell you.
What nonsense are you talking?
Are you out of your mind?
Get down, Ami! Move. - Dennis!
Let's go.
Dennis!
Where did they go?
I don't know, sir! - Tell me.
Stay here. I'll call him.
Relax, Ami.
Control yourself.
You have not come here to make him cry.
Niranjan.
I'm well.
Dennis! Dennis of Bethlehem.
She spoke a lot about you in her letters.
I daydream about your farm too.
I have created a Bethlehem in my imagination.
Since I can never see the original, my imagination won't shatter.
Abhirami, you should not have come.
These tears remind me of many things.
The truth that life is about to come to an end.
Like every other convict preparing for his death penalty
my heart trembles too.
I do wish to get everything back.
But I am trying to overcome these feelings.
Don't weaken me.
Niranjan, I have lived only for this day.
I wanted to see you once
and make you tie this.
If I live, it will be as your widow.
And if I die, it will also be as your widow.
Take this, Niranjan.
Abhirami, you must live for many years.
You must prove your love for me, by living for many years.
But you shouldn't live like a reminder of a criminal like me.
Niranjan is a mistake.
Nothing should be left on this earth to glorify that mistake.
I'll always love you. I'll love only you.
Abhirami is a good girl and you are a good man.
Both of you must listen carefully to what I say.
The word 'sin' evoked contempt in me.
It was just a word for me
which the owners used to control their slaves.
But life taught me the meaning of that word and its significance.
The effect it had on people's life.
The end became more important to me than the means.
In the journey to attain goals, everything became fair.
Killing, cheating
going against one's principles, all these seemed upright.
But it was wrong. It was late by the time I realised it.
Brijesh Mallaiya was a big industrialist who was responsible
for leading thousands of labourers and their families to starvation.
The government that was created with his help and influence
decided to kill him.
I was the one who waited for him with the bomb.
My assumption that he would come alone in the car proved wrong.
His three little children
his old mother
and his innocent driver were there with him.
But it didn't stop me.
The severed hand of his four year old daughter
fell on my body.
Those fingers were still moving, as though searching for something.
What did I achieve?
What goal did I attain?
Brijesh Mallaiya was replaced by someone else.
It was only the men who changed, not the capitalist system.
I have realised that killing people
as a measure to change the system
is a futile idea created by crazy anarchists.
I am waiting for the day
when I would free myself from the concepts of body and soul.
Don't try to evoke emotions and desires in me, Abhirami.
If you decide to spoil your life
in the name of my love
it will be my fault.
It would be another sin that I commit.
Don't do that.
I like you.
It is true that I wanted to spend my life with you.
But I don't have a life to spend with you.
Only my soul will be left behind.
My soul that is destined to suffer for my sins.
For it to get salvation
you must have a son with Abhirami
and make him perform my last rites. - What did you say, Niranjan?
Yes, you should get married.
You must love each other and live together for many years.
No. It isn't possible. I will not love anyone else.
I cannot do that. - Abhirami!
No, Niranjan! Please. Don't ask her to do that.
Only I can ask her to do that.
Before hanging a person, his last wish is asked.
I'm begging you to grant me this wish.
You must fulfil it. Dennis, tie this..
I'll be the witness.
Through me, this whole earth will stand as witness.
Tie this around her neck. - No.
No. Don't do this to me, Niranjan.
Don't ask me to do that.
It's okay if you don't want to tie it.
But don't compel me for anything else.
I can ask you for only this.
It is getting late.
Sir, please.
Dennis, please show me the most beautiful sight of my life
before I die.
A married Abhirami.
I want to see that image in my heart
even when I face death.
I want to see you and Abhirami
in the Bethlehem of my imagination.
Dennis. Please, Dennis.
I won't let this happen. I don't want anyone else but you.
I don't want a life.
Abhirami, for whom do you want to sacrifice your life?
If it is for me, I'll have to bear that pain too.
If you love me, if you want to comfort me
you must obey me.
Mr. Niranjan! Sorry, it is enough. - Please, Sir!
Come on.
Dennis. For God's sake. Please.
How can I?
Dennis, I beg you, please.
Please.
Dennis, please.
I can do only this much for you, Niranjan.
I hope Ami forgives me. - No, Dennis. I know her.
She'll forget everything and love only you.
I can't come beyond these bars to bless you.
I have blessed you from here.
If there is any goodness left in my heart
I give you that as my blessings.
I'm going.
My time is over.
I'll not turn around to see you.
Even if I do, I won't be able to see you.
My tears will blur everything.
This picture is enough for me.
Good luck, my friends. Good Luck.
Bye, Ami. - Our next vacation will also be in Bethlehem. - Bye..
Will there be another person here to receive us at that time? - Bye..
What? - A great grandchild.
That is ready.
As soon as it is confirmed, I'll inform you.
You must come back to me, as fast as possible.
Inform me how much debt you have here.
I'll send you. Settle all that. Dennis, send him away after that.
They have shown the signal. You can get in. - Bye, dear!
Okay.
Wish you all the best. - Thank you.
Bye, dear! - All the best.
Go away. You must come there.
Bye..
- Bye..
Bye..
The cat.
'I'll come to Bethlehem in the next summer.'
'Catch me before that. Yours..'
"For all the births that I have been in search for you"
"my love for you has been as much, my love."
"The shores afar and the silent stars are my witnesses."
"For all the births that I have been in search for you.."
"The cloud gently whispered to the wind."
"an unknown secret about love."
"The fading dusk looked for you"
"like it would look for a moist moonlight."
"I want to be a child.."
