Uncle. - Yes.
Come, dear. - Go to him. - Let's go inside, sir.
My dear. - Sorry, sir.
I didn't recognise your car.
So.. Please don't mind, sir.
It's a new car. My brother's wedding gift.
How is it? - It's superb. Please come.
Come in, ma'am.
Come.. - Come in.
Please take a seat, sir. - It's all right.
Show me that Green Sari.
Shakthivel, will this colour suit Swarnamalya?
How do I know? - Who else knows, if not you?
Ask her. She'll tell you.
Are You telling us to ask for her opinion on everything?
Hello. - Show me that colour.
What do you want, my dear? - Tell me. - I know it very well.
Hello, Swarna. How are you?
Yes, I'm fine.
Which is your favourite colour?
Is it? Just hold on. I'll pass the phone to him.
Wait. Uncle.
Yes. - Phone.
Who is it? - Your future wife is on the line.
Why did you.. - Come on, speak to her.
Hello. How are you?
I'm doing good.
I'll call you later. Here.
I don't think he'd make a good husband.
Brother. - Yes? - We've found him.
Is Kumar on the line?
Yes.
All right, I'll be there.
Dear, shall I leave?
Isn't this colour beautiful? What about this one?
Be with your mom. I'll be back.
Come, dear. - I want to be with him. - Go, dear.
She is always with you.
She looks for me only when she is hungry.
Okay, let's go.
This design is good.
Will you sit inside? - Okay, Uncle.
Sir, your men are following me.
Please ask them to spare me. Please save my life.
I am a family man, sir. Sir, please spare me.
You're like God to me.
Sir, I didn't make any mistake.
Sir, please save me. They'll listen to you. Sir..
Shakthivel. - Yes, I know you.
You will know me better now.
No.. They killed him. Sinners!
"On the top of the beautiful hills"
"there is a festival with sacred idols."
"Festival with sacred idols."
"Idols.."
"A place of grandeur called Thrissur."
"To make it a renowned city"
"many businessmen and grocers came here to do business."
"The king acknowledged their visit"
"and sent his messengers"
"to welcome and give shelter to those Christian families."
"The city thus became their home."
Do you know who he is?
Protector of the land, Thiruvambadi Ulahannan Tharakan.
I used to call him Onachan. Do you see the sword in his hand?
It was gifted to him by the king.
This is Kuttishankaran.
Onachan's favourite elephant.
Their friendship was great!
It was worth watching.
Long ago, there was a huge mango tree
on the east side of our house.
We used to tie Kuttishankaran to that mango tree.
After the sunset
Onachan used to go for an evening stroll.
After the shower, he would come and put a stole on his shoulder.
Then he would wear the slippers
and come out to the courtyard.
Before he reaches the gate
we would hear Kuttishankaran's trumpet.
The next moment
Kuttishankaran would follow him gracefully.
The stroll ends in the toddy shop on the river bank.
On seeing Onachan
other drunkards would stop drinking
and stand aside in awe of him.
If Onachan drinks two pegs
Kuttishankaran would drink two pegs too.
If Onachan drinks four pegs, Kuttishankaran would have four too.
When they get high on alcohol
Onachan would tie the stole on his head.
Then he would sing
a traditional Christian folk song and dance to it.
"Words are not enough to explain our sorrow."
"Nor is intelligence enough."
"I cannot express my feelings in words."
"If Mother Mary helps me, I shall try to explain."
"Every human being is faulty.."
Then they would return
to the dimly lit roads in the village.
They would jaywalk their way back home.
It's a usual sight for the villagers.
But no one could ever have had enough of that sight.
The next minute, Onachan would fall with a thud.
Kuttishankaran would then roar and try to wake him up.
If Onachan doesn't wake up
he would take Onachan on his long tusk
and walk back home.
Through the market road dimly lit with fire torches
Kuttishankaran would walk carrying Onachan
on his tusk. Just imagine that sight.
Stop it, now. That's enough.
Come here!
Drink this. - Stop.
Hold this. - Did Thamban call?
Phone? Don't get me started.
Today is the death anniversary of grandfather.
You came from Mangalore.
Husband, kids and I came from Chennai.
Shiny also arrived from Bangalore.
The entire family would have gathered in the church.
But the father and son of this family are not seen.
I wonder what the father and son duo do all day.
Paulose, get the car ready. - Okay.
Mom does not understand.
She'll understand how embarrassed we feel
only if she had to face people's questions. - That's right.
Come and get in the car. - Come. - Let's go.
We're supposed to be a prestigious Christian family close to the king.
But does a true Christian do what the father and son do?
I wouldn't have minded if they earned well. But in this business..
Ew! This is all we get to see.
Everywhere, you find only this.
Mother, please drink this.
Here. - I don't want it. Come quickly.
Have at least some water before leaving, Mother.
Or you will faint before the mass prayer begins.
Don't forget you're on an empty stomach.
Your husband might have a problem on an empty stomach, not me!
Get in the car. - Okay.
Won't this car move?
Come here. - Why?
What do you do for a living? - I own a bank.
That's not a bank. It's a private finance company.
Does a true Christian deal with loans and interests?
The money lenders who entered
the church were chased out by Lord Jesus with a whip.
Don't forget that while coming to the church.
What did she say?
The old woman has gone crazy.
Oh Lord, who reform humans
from evil to good.
We admire and praise you.
On this day when we celebrate the annual death day of our brother
please accept our prayers for him.
The Holy Lord, Father and the Son who..
Amen. - Amen. - Yes, stop here.
Now, go. Yes, go on.
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Amen! - Amen.
Thee, who is praised by angels
and worshipped by humans.
Kunjoonju. - What?
Two innocent children of Ulahannan Tharakan
who were a follower of God
are being misled by you.
Me?
You better come for the confession before leaving. Okay? - Sure.
The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
who is in charge of our life and death, Oh Lord!
Amen!

Please move aside..
It's Mathan's call. I'll be right back.
Okay. - I'll be back.
Why did you call me now? Where are you?
You asked me to come to the church in the morning. Where are you now?
That bald priest swore at me!
He hasn't finished yet. You'll hear the rest after the prayer meeting.
I'll call you later. - The entire family will join him.
Hope you are not in a hurry. - Not at all.
Mind blowing ringtone.
Where did you get it from? - I got it during a journey.
I'll give you a phone number. - Okay.
Will you please send the ringtone to him?
Sure. Why not? Whose number is it?
The Pope himself, in Rome.
Let him know how sincere Christians here are.
Excuse me! Where's the washroom? - It's there.
Thank God.
This isn't ours.
I dirtied my finger. Come on, let's go.
There is goes. Hello.
Pass the phone to brother. - Give it to him.
Sir, you have a call. Mr. Kunjoonju is on the line.
Kunjoonju, don't ask me about it.
I'm running around since morning. No.
They had asked for ten elephants for a film shooting.
I sent nine yesterday.
Shiva Shankaran, the 10th one, had to be sent this morning.
The crew has been calling me since morning.
Manikuttan's phone is switched off.
There is no place left to look for him.
Check in Dasappan Nair's estate in Thottumkara.
I think I saw an elephant when I was coming with the load.
Did you see our elephant in Thottumkara? Let's go.
I won't spare him.
There's a mob in here. Oh, God.
The elephant has been roaring since a long time.
Sir, will there be a problem?
God! Did it kill Manikuttan Nair?
We don't know what mental condition he is in.
Don't go near him. Mr. Panicker is on his way with a sedative.
Shiva Shankara, my darling, please don't embarrass me.
Give me my loin cloth. Else, I'll..
Give it to me, I say.
Don't play with me.
Dear..
Give it to me. - Oh, no. - Oh, God.
"Move the camera, lights and stuff."
"Take care of stuff and let's make it again."
"Take!"
"When you and I"
"come together, love happens."
"One, two, three, four, five, six."
"We're in our adolescence."
What is this?
"Oh, darling.." - Cut! - What is it, sir?
Who brought these elephants now?
That.. - Idiot!
What are you doing? Move the elephants from here.
Don't you understand?
Didn't I tell you that I'll call you when needed? Move aside.
Who is the manager, here? - I'm the Production controller.
I asked you who the manager is.
He is the manager, so is he. What's the problem?
There should be one person to point at when asked about your father.
The problem is that you don't have one.
Don't abuse us. - What will you do?
Tell me what your problem is.
Where are the palm leaves meant for the elephants?
We've kept a heap of it, there. - Where is it?
25 palm leaves for each elephant
or 40 coconut leaves. Weren't you given a list
on the letter pad of Tharakans? How many did you arrange for?
They only gave 25 palm leaves for five elephants.
That's not sufficient to even clean the teeth of one of them.
Where are the watermelons mentioned in the list?
What about cucumber? - Answer him.
There's no water for the elephants to pour on their body or drink.
Where is water? - Ask them. - Juice!
You offer juice and coconut water to the actress, at least 40 times.
Did you give water to the elephants?
Aren't they living beings, like you?
Aren't they? - Tharakans look after
their elephants just as we take care of our children. Do you know?
It's been an hour since you've made them stand in the hot sun.
Where are the wet sacks to spread under the feet of our kids?
Kids? - Yes.
Yes, these are our kids.
Kids! - Tharakans' elephants
have been working in films
for forty years now. - You're right.
Don't act smart with us. - Listen to me.
Have you heard about Asiad?
We took 101 elephants to Delhi by train and made them perform
in a parade at the Red Fort. We're from Thrissur.
Don't play games with us.
We'll tolerate if you hurt our mother
but if our elephants are hurt, we cannot tolerate.
My dear brother-in-law, Mathan Tharakan, will be here soon.
If you don't sort the issues before that
you will be behind bars.
Mister, it's been an hour since my daughter asked for juice.
She is tired, standing in the sun. - Which one is your elephant?
Elephant? I'm the father of the actress.
What? - He is the female lead's father.
I see. So, you're talking about
your daughter in between. You..
Dad!
What is it, dear? What's wrong?
Move aside.
What's the matter? - What happened?
I got into that van thinking our elephant was inside
but the actress was changing.
No! Call up Thamban.
Call Thamban. He is impossible! Hello.
I'll give the phone to him.
Mister. Where are you?
Mr. Thamban.
There he is.
Hello. What?
I'm at DSF in Dubai.
Father.. What?
Give it. - Here.
You..
You pretended to have got a heart attack in the right time.
We escaped from getting beaten up.
Oh, no. They're coming here.
Go inside. - Good Lord!
How did he reach so quickly?
Move.
Cover me with that blanket.
Mathan. - What is it? - Look.
Come here.
What is it? - Isn't he the Production controller?
Where? - Okay.
There comes the Director. - Oh, no.
The actress' dad. Look, there.
There he is.
Dad? - Yes.
I got a phone call when I was sitting on an elephant in Dubai.
I thought the movie crew thrashed you to death.
What did you do, Dad? Did you molest the actress?
Shut up, you.. - Didn't I tell you?
We thrashed her dad for no reason.
Did you thrash him? - Yes, I did.
After all, you're my son.
I know you well, Dad! - Well done.
"Crossing the green paddy fields"
"here comes the dusk. Do you want to join it?"
"Swimming across the river, here comes the fishes."

"to buy so many elephants and look after them."
"By God's grace, he earned enough"
"to buy so many elephants and look after them."
Look, brother gifted me this.
Mom! - Don't feel so proud of it.
On seeing your dad drinking liquor and ruining his life
we dropped him at Madurai. That's all I thought.
Mr. Mathan purchased a workshop there
in the name of your dad.
When God helped us through this good people
we should live simple instead of being proud of it.
I heard what your mom said.
She has grown too old.
Do you know who christened you as 'Anna'?
Thamban. - That's the name
of his younger sister who died at the age of five.
If he hears what your mom said..
That's your grandma. She is Eli, my best friend.
I got married at the age of 14 and came from Pala. She came along.
Although she died early, you're her granddaughter.
You're not an outsider to us.
If your mom scolds you again, come and tell me.
I'll deal with her.
Go and have dinner.
Everyone in our family says
Mr. Kunjoonju is the one who spoils dad and me.
But the fact is
Rahelamma is the one who spoils us. Am I right?
Hello. There is no range.
Thankamani, shall I give you a tail? - What?
The elephant's tail, to get rid of your fear.
Where's the elephant going? - The tail of an elephant.
Keep it the other way. - Oh, God.
Don't run away. I want to talk to you. - Okay.
If I go to the toilet now
you'll reach Kashmir by the time I return. Come, now.
Hold this.
I can't help it. - Go.
Were you here? - Yes.
God!
When did you come?
I understood that you did not know I've come. - How did you?
You would've disappeared if you knew I was here. - No.
Shall we go? - Where to?
To watch 'Pooram' festival in Utralikavu.
You fooled me thrice when I asked you to see the girl in Kunnamkulam.
Today, I won't go without you.
Please go with him. I saw her too. She is smart.
Tell him that. - What are you saying?
Grandma.. - Hey.
The girl is studying fashion designing in Bangalore.
She is beautiful.
Just like a film actress. - You cannot avoid it this time.
You have nothing to do. Go with him.
Dad, don't talk nonsense.
I've to send three elephants
to Kodungallur for a boutique's inauguration. - Don't worry.
The elephants have almost reached Kodungallur. - Have they? - Yes.
The elephant standing in the middle
should garland the VIP and also sprinkle perfume on him.
If we're not there to instruct, it will be a mess. - Who is he?
Is he required to train and tame every elephant?
Dad, isn't today, Wednesday? - What if it is?
Today is All Kerala Elephant Owners Association's district meet.
Minister Ganesh Kumar will be attending the meeting.
If the secretary reaches late, it will be a shame. - You won't be.
You're going to Kunnamkulam and not Gokarna.
What's he saying?
It's only 10 a.m. You will be back in two hours.
Mr. Kunjoonju.. - Thamban
why are you screaming like a bull that's going to be butchered? - I..
Dad! - What is it?
You always find excuses when we talk about your marriage.
I've been noticing this. Come on. - Let me change.
What's the problem with this? - This isn't apt for the occasion.
He is right. He is going to see a girl for his marriage.
This dressing is too casual.
He should be well dressed like me, in formals.
Mr. Kunjoonju, come inside.
What? - Come with me.
Why do you need him to change?
I'm going to wear a safari suit.
I need his help to adjust the pleats of it. Come in.
Okay, go.
Come here..
Does a safari suit have pleats?
Maybe, it has.
Okay.
Take your hands off me.
Don't take their side despite knowing everything.
What makes you laugh?
Don't you know that I won't marry any girl except Anjali?
You're such a fool.
Why are we going to Kunnamkulam?
Only to see the girl, not to marry her, right?
Go to Kunnamkulam, see the girl
come back and tell everyone that you did not like her, okay?
If you refuse to meet her, won't they suspect you?
Be smart.
Why do I have to worry when you're with me?
Is that the girl's dad? - Shut your mouth.
Let me see the suitor.
He is smart.
Come inside. - Okay.
Come.
Please come in.
He is..
Does he need an introduction?
He is the talk of the town during the festival season.
Every hoarding says, 'For Elephants and its accessories'
'contact the Tharakans'. Right?
Come in. - Go.
Come.
Good Lord! Anjali!
Come in. - Why is she calling now?
Come on. - I'm coming.
My entire family is in North America.
I was there too. Seven years ago
I came here when my grandfather passed away.
I started a small business of marbles.
And it clicked well.
So, I decided to settle down here for the time being.
Does it matter where I am
if I make money? - That's true.
Come..
He is wealthy enough.
Who is she?
Who is this patient?
She is my mother, Dr. Mary Mathew, FRCS.
She is bedridden since two years. - Oh!
Mother, let them see you once.
You may not be there for my daughter's wedding.
It might take time. - What?
He said that it would take some time to get to know everyone.
Where are you going? - Anjali is calling. - Who?
Anjali. - Who is that? - My foot!
What are you discussing about? - My foot!
I mean, the girl.. - He is in a hurry to see the girl.
He has only seen her photograph. He is eager to see her in person.
He is nervous.
That's his problem. Once he decides to do something
he has no patience at all.
He won't give others peace either.
Susamma, hurry up.
The groom is in a hurry to see the girl.
Please come.
Don't make me call names.
Teak is used for all the woodwork.
Really? - Yes.
She got so many alliances from Bangalore.
Thank God, she stopped calling. Else, I would be finished.
Thamban is losing patience
after he saw our daughter's photo, it seems.
Shall we conduct the betrothal
and wedding on the same day?
I don't mind. We're ready. Aren't you, dear?
Here. - Serve it.
Give it to him.
Anjali! I did not come to see this witch.
Listen.. - What's wrong? - What is happening?
Listen to me.
Who.. - I told you..
What? - My foot!
The father and son roam around all the temples like a Hindu.
You deserve this.
One should live according to his status and standard.
Else, things like this will happen!
It's an honour to have an alliance with Acharu Parambu family.
They were not impressed with father and son's elephants.
They agreed to this alliance because of our family's prestige.
Does anyone here have a doubt about that?
Do you have doubt? - Not at all.
Do you know what the girl's dad told Father Xavier?
He said that Thamban had an affair with the girl's friend.
What a shame!
Get lost! - Aby and the girl's aunt
are working in the same hospital in the US.
Aby called me from there to say the same thing.
I was ashamed.
I've no secret affair with anyone. I like her. That's it.
Shut up, you dog!
Do you like her? What are you talking about?
Couldn't you find a girl from our religion?
I apply sandalwood paste on my forehead and visit temples.
That's my business trick.
That's a true Christian's business approach.
That doesn't mean my son would wear a sacred thread
marry a Brahmin girl and convert!
I will kill you!
Mathan. - Let me go.
May the Holy Spirit be my witness. - Mathan!
Let my mother, who gave me birth be the witness. - Lord!
The sword that the King gave us is my witness.
I, Thiruvambadi Ulahannan's son
Mathan Tharakan
promise that if my son goes against his family
opposes our society and religion
our ancestors and elders
to marry a girl of his choice
I will forget that you're my son.
I will behead you, cut you into pieces and throw your body away.
This is my promise! - Oh, God.
Somebody, please give me water.
Everyone stood in shock.
Am I right, Mr. Kunjoonju? - Yes, you are.
When Mathan took the sword in his hand, everyone got scared.
No one could make out what he was up to.
I missed the scene.
The entire family stood together against him.
Had I not put up that act
they would've killed my son.
You shouldn't scare the children
with your skills, Mathan. Isn't that a sin?
Don't utter a word. You're responsible for this.
Me? - Yes.
Do you even know the truth?
All I know is, he has been in a relationship for over a year.
I know nothing more than that. - Then?
I swear, I did not know anything more.
If you utter a word more, I will slit your throat.
Look at me. - What is it? - Is she working?
Didn't you hear me? - Yes, she is.
Where does she work? - In the University. - What?
At Agriculture University in Mannuthy.
Is she a professor, there? - No, she is a joint instructor
of the Food Safety Department. - What food..
It's the same as a professor.
UGC.. - That's good.
She must be earning pretty well. - Yes.
I'm sure that our family will oppose us.
Wait till tomorrow. I'll find a solution. - What's the use?
She is gone.
Where did she go?
What did Mr. Philipose and Mr. Kunjoonju say there?
That I lost my control
on seeing the girl's photograph and I was eager to marry her.
She belongs to a decent family.
They spoke all nonsense in front of her.
I wonder what's on her mind.
She isn't even answering my phone call. Do you know that?
You moron! He is such an idiot.
Be it human beings or animals, everyone gets furious.
The trainer should know the trick. Hey, Mani Kuttan Nair. - Yes.
What do you do when an elephant goes out of control?
Do you sit and cry? - No way.
That is why I hold this stick.
If I pull its nerve with this
I can control any elephant. - Did you hear that?
Come here. What did he mean?
Do you want your dad to tell you
how to appease your beloved if she isn't picking your call?
Are you a man?
Okay, then I'll make a move. - Sure.
Anjali. - I'm coming.
Why is it so dark here?
Are you blind? Is this light not enough?
The lamp near the holy basil is doused.
I told you about that. - That must be due to the breeze.
Why don't you be a little careful? After all, it's for the Goddess.
Goddess! Does she have the time to see if our lamp is lit?
All the Gods' attention is on Acharu Parambu's marble.
Acharu Parambu? Is there a temple by that name?
Chacko is the God in the temple.
Do you want to go there as a priest?
What's wrong with her, today?
Hello. - It's me.
She hung up. - Keep the phone in your pocket.
I'll keep her father engaged for ten minutes.
Meanwhile, go through the back door and meet her.
Go.
Hope there is no well in the courtyard.
Is anyone inside?
Who is it?
I'm coming from the east.
How do I go to Urulimadu Kunnu?
Is it towards the right or left?
Urulimadu Kunnu? - Yes.
Which hill is that? - Actually..
I heard the hill looks as if a huge bowl is kept upside down.
Urulimadu Kunnu.
Whom do you want to meet?
There.. Pallavur Deva Narayanan.
He plays 'Thayambaka'. I want to book him for the church's festival.
Pallavur Deva Narayanan. - Yes, that's right.
A drum player.
Are you talking about Pallavur Appu Marar?
Yes, that's the name. Appu Marar.
But he is dead. - What?
Is he dead? - Yes. - Is it?
Hello. She hung up!
What is this?
Anjali, you cook so well.
I just ate one piece and my eyes are watering.
Let me tell you what happened. - Get out of here.
Don't push me out. Listen..
Anjali, first try to understand what happened.
I swear, let me..
I'm confused about the name now.
Hello. What's the name of Marar?
What? Is that so? Okay.
We want a 'Chakyar', not 'Marar'.
Do you want a 'Marar' or a 'Chakyar'?
First, decide that. - It's decided. I want a 'Chakyar'.
Where does Achunni Chakyar live?
Achunni Chakyar's wife's house was in Kunathara.
My daughter would know. - That's all right.
You think and tell me. I'm sure, you'll recall.
Achunni Chakyar's house..
A person who is sentenced to death
also has the right to explain his side.
Do you think I'd marry some other girl?
Then who went to Acharu Parambu house? Was that your spirit?
Please open the door.
I'll explain in detail.
My hand..
I'll explain in detail..
Shucks!
I lost both of them.
Love is like jaundice.
It cannot be diagnosed in the beginning, and if it is late
it will affect our liver. Then there's no comeback.
There's a herb to cure jaundice. Who is suffering from it?
Your mom! Get lost! - Who is she?
Why did they laugh? - Mr. Mathan
Thamban is disturbed right now.
Look at his face.
I can't bear to see this. We cannot delay this anymore.
You must interfere. You have no choice.
He has a heart of gold.
I'll not allow any girl to hurt him. - You..
Mr. Mathan
Shall we go to her house with 101 elephants
and ask her father for her hand in marriage?
Why just elephants? Take some festival crackers! Fool!
I only gave a suggestion.
My son, gulp this down.
Now, listen to me.
What is it?
Try to forget her.
Don't break my heart, Dad.
Do you remember? When I was in grade 4
you bought me a yellow top.
Yes, I do. - What did you tell me when I lost it?
Forget about it, Son. I'll buy you a red one.
Did I stop crying, then? - Yes, you did.
You were a good boy. - This isn't a toy.
Are you both playing with toys and top? - What?
I gave you drink so that you forget your worries.
But you opened up and expressed your grief.
What's all this? - Dad.
I cannot forget her even if I drink all the liquor
in this shop.
Because I love you, Dad.
I love you. - Mathan.
Our child is heartbroken. We've to interfere.
Thamban, my dear.
Will she be convinced if you talk to her in person?
But she isn't listening to me.
I couldn't speak a word to her.
Didn't you see what she did?
If I get to see her for ten minutes
I will pacify her. But she isn't ready to budge.
Mathan, did you hear that?
He wants to talk to her for ten minutes, today itself.
Can't we arrange for it?
You control a wild elephant
with just one finger and make it dance to your tune.
Can't you do this small task?
Can't you? - Start the car! - Okay.
Stop it! If anyone asks, say that we are angels.
They will understand it from our looks.
Anjali, if you have forgiven me
will you please open the door?
She opened it.
Anjali
Your feet.. Why is it like this?
It's your dad. How dare you lift my loincloth!
I'll slap you. - Speak softly.
Tell him.
We'll open the door for you. You go inside
get her, bring her to the car and we'll leave.
Are we abducting her? - Shut up, you idiot.
We'll stop the car in an isolated place.
Let them talk and sort things out.
We'll drop her back home
and then go back. Am I right, Mathan?
Yes. - Where are you going?
Go straight. - Go inside
but behave yourself. Don't embarrass your dad.
Come here.
Who is this girl with a beard?
I drank too much yesterday.
I also saw a dream
that we went to Anjali's house
and brought her to Pollachi.
What is it?
Mr. Kunjoonju! - We've already gone through the shock.
You didn't even give me a chance to speak.
You made me go crazy. That's why I had to do this.
I have no intention to marry any girl other than you.
You did not understand that, you fool.
Tea or coffee? I guess, she'll have tea.
She is a Nambudiri. - I'm a Warrier.
Okay, give it to her. - Have it.
Give one to me.
We brought her here for ten minutes.
If we don't drop her back at least now
we'll be in trouble.
God! It's 10 a.m. Drink fast. Let's go.
Where to? - Your home. Where else?
I won't go back home. - What?
What? What's your plan?
She must be joking
to scare us. Am I right?
No. I mean it.
I slept at home last night. I am missing from there now.
By the time we reach home, it will be evening.
What will I tell my dad and others?
Anjali, I will.. Mr. Kunjoonju will..
No. My dad will drop you. Is that all right?
What will he tell my dad?
Will he say that he abducted me at night, for his son?
Holy Lord! We're in big trouble.
Anjali, if you say..
What else should I say?
Should we ask a doctor to certify that she sleepwalks?
Shut up. - Mathan.
Mathan, come here.
What is the solution? - It was your idea.
Now, you suggest a way to get out of this trouble.
I have an idea.
It's a bit risky.
You will have to support me. - Tell me what it is.
God does everything for a reason.
This has to happen someday, so why not today?
Come straight to the point.
Before noon, we'll get their marriage registered. - What?
Rascal! Don't you have any sense?
This is the only solution to get out of this trouble.
Else, all of us will be in the jail.
This is a case of kidnapping. It's a serious offence.
Oh Jesus!
What are you cheering for? - I'm expressing my happiness.
Please sign here, sir. - Sure.
Sir, please sign here. - Okay.
What's wrong, Mathan?
His marriage should've been a grand celebration.
But look what happened.
No one can change God's plans.
What matters to us is his happiness.
Remember what I told you.
Okay. - We'll go there first.
You come after some time.
There will be a battle at home. Don't back out.
You left at midnight without any plan.
I'm sure you have no money.
Come.
Go to a good hotel, have lunch
and take your own time to come home. See you soon.
Give me the garlands. I'll keep it on the bus. - Why?
Dad has approved of our marriage. I don't care. - You wear it too.
Get on the bus.
Smart boy!
We just got married, mister. One seat..
Let's sit there.
"You asked me how important you are to me."
"You answered that I meant everything to you."
"As your heart skipped a beat"
"and you smiled, it was celebration time for me."
"I asked how important am I to you."
"I said you meant my life."
"As the birds sang with the cold breeze"
"I came running to meet you."
"I came and hugged you from behind."
"You engrossed me in your arms."
"You asked me how important you are to me."
"You answered that I meant everything to you."
"As your heart skipped a beat"
"and you smiled, it was celebration time for me."
"It's time to spread our wings and fly high."
"Thousands of people surround us to applaud."
"But I hear no sound, nor do I see anyone."
"All I see is your sparkling eyes and the dreams in it."
"You asked me how important you are to me."
"You answered that I meant everything to you."
"As your heart skipped a beat"
"and you smiled, it was celebration time for me."
Let me go! Where is he?
We're the true children
of St. Thomas. I swear
upon you all today. - No, Mathan.
This is Thiruvambadi Mathan's word. I will kill him.
I will cut this betrayer into pieces.
Calm down, Mathan.
Dear, come.
Come.
Please give me some water.
Water.. - Hold him, I'll get some water.
Did the children go inside? - Yes. - Then, I don't need water.
We don't discriminate between religions, in our family.
You're the girl my grandson wanted to marry.
It doesn't matter who you are. For us, you're an angel.
Come here. - What is it?
It's midnight. Won't you go?
Please go.
I'll be right back.
It's my wedding night. Please go.
Get lost! Mr. Kunjoonju, leave, I say.
Go. - Don't close.
Don't shut the window.
Kumaran, hurry up.
There are hardly any days left for the temple festival.
I don't have eight hands like the Goddess. - Oh, Goddess.
President, it's 10:30 a.m. Aren't we starting the meeting?
Sure. - Parameshwaran, shall we start?
Stop, there.
Why don't you put the emblem of Christians on the idol as well?
Shameless creatures!
People don't mind sponsoring for the temple festival.
But if we want to buy a few chairs to the office, they hesitate.
Tharakans were willing to sponsor, and the committee agreed.
This isn't something new, Parameshwaran.
Haven't we accepted donations from people of other religions
who believe in our customs and traditions?
Yes, we have. You may continue to do so.
Keep the idol of Goddess on a Christian's elephant
and make peace with their religion. That is what you're interested in.
Also, publish a photograph with a caption in the newspaper.
Nairs and Nambudiris will then be happy.
Let's go.
Parameshwaran.
We've been organising the festival since a very long time.
It's sad if we split into groups and fight with each other.
Yes, I am revengeful, and I will be all my life.
The day you started taking the Goddess's idol
on that Christian's elephant, I am vindictive.
Let me see if I can find a way
to put an end to this practice.
Just because your son married a Brahmin priest's daughter
don't think you can wear the sacred thread.
Better keep that in mind.
Dad! - Yes.
My grandpa was intelligent.
Thank God, he didn't christen you as Parameshwaran.
Had he done that, I would've stamped you to death.
Get into the car, Dad.
You should've stamped him in real. It was better than being sarcastic.
He is impossible. Start the car.
Fifty.. - Where are you going?
We cannot eat this raw, can we?
It has to be cooked. - Go ahead, cook it.
But not in the kitchen.
Keep a stove outside and cook there.
Why is this new change?
This is the new rule.
If you want to eat non-vegetarian, cook it outside and eat.
Non-vegetarian food is not allowed in our kitchen anymore.
Move aside. We're vegetarians.
Did you like Rahelamma?
What happened? - Nothing.
Why are you crying?
After my mom's death, dad struggled a lot to raise us.
Without thinking about all that, I..
But now, I'm sure that
Dad will be glad
to see me happy here.
He will forgive and forget everything.
No one is upset with you. We won't allow anyone
to get upset with you. Are you happy now?
Thamban!
I'll be back. - Thamban.
What is it?
What is the matter? - Parameshwaran backstabbed us.
Pollachi Gounder changed his mind.
He gave the order for elephants to Karakkathodi group.
Shucks! How could Gounder do this?
We knew him since ages!
Let me try calling him.
Do you want me to beg him?
Son of a bitch!
There is hardly three weeks left for the temple festival.
He betrayed me and gave the contract to Karakkathodi.
Ungrateful fellow!
Pollachi Agori Govindan.
There is no elephant to beat him in southern India.
This elephant was ours for so many years.
Now, we lost him to them when there is an emergency.
Take a turn.
Do you understand now that I don't talk in the air?
You were arrogant as you thought Agori Govindan would be yours.
When I bribed Veerayyan Gounder
he changed sides and joined me.
He is no more concerned about his old friend.
By the way, I know that Govindan is a troublemaker.
I have hired six mahouts from Kumbakonam on a monthly basis.
Still, do you have any tip on how to take care of him?
After all, you looked after him for almost a decade.
The trainer is from Kumbakonam, and the owner is from Tiruvamkulam.
Govindan wouldn't mind that.
But ensure that both the parties
are not bastards!
Else, Govindan will crush you under his feet. - Hey, you!
Aren't you leaving? Parameshwaran, you better go.
Are you threatening us? - Just get lost!
Mathan, today is October 21.
Sonpur elephant festival will begin on November 4th.
Shall we go there?
Dad, there's a point in what he says.
Don't ponder over it. We'll leave today itself.
We'll get a better elephant
than Agori Govindan from there
and show him off in front of Parameshwaran.
Let's see who wins the festival contract.
We'll plan the rest, later.
Yes.
Okay, then let's go.
"The breeze brings a fragrance that entices one and all."
"Let's start our journey."
"To find the best elephant"
"the brave men go on a chariot."
"Before the temple festival starts"
"we'll see what more is in store for us."
'Sonpur Railway Station'.
"No one can go against his wish."
"His word is the final one."
"He is a man of words."
"Is there anyone to challenge him?"
"Is there anyone?"
"By God's grace, he earned enough"
"to buy so many elephants and look after them."
"By God's grace, he earned enough"
"to buy so many elephants and look after them."
Move the truck aside. There's an elephant with us.
Move.
Did you see the hoarding?
Shakthivel weds Swarnamalya. He is filthy rich.
Good.
This is how an ideal man gets married, understand?
Will you feel bad if I say my opinion on this?
What is it? - The girl made a wrong choice.
Why should I feel bad about it? - I just told you.
I hope dad didn't hear me.
Stop!
Don't let him go.
Please spare me.
Don't harm me, please.
I beg you.
N-No, please.
Sign. Come on, sign.
Yes, here.
No..
Thamban..
"Madurai is the homeland.."
Didn't Mathan see the sight?
No, he was fast asleep. So was Mr. Kunjoonju.
Thank God, he didn't see.
Had he seen the murder, he would've interfered
and would've got into trouble.
Xavier, which political party does Shakthivel represent?
He is the right hand of Gunanidhi, the minister.
But this time, their party lost.
How does it matter if these devils win or lose?
They still have the authority to kill and torture the poor.
The natives of this place are to be blamed for that.
This won't happen in our state.
People will beat him to a pulp. - That's true.
Do you know how influential Shakthivel is?
Why? - Today, liquor is free in all the shops here.
Don't say a word about beating him up.
Liquor is free today as it's his wedding.
He is right. - Xavier.
Yes. - Shall we start?
I have made all the arrangements. Let's go to the terrace. - Yes..
Dad, where are you going?
We've come all the way to Madurai.
How can I miss out praying at 'Ashtashakti Mandap'
and Mukkuruni Ganesh?
I want to fall at Goddess Madurai Meenakshi's feet
and worship her before going home. Xavier. - Yes.
I am not eating tonight.
Are you fasting today?
Are you out of your mind, mister?
He doesn't even attend the midnight mass on Christmas Eve!
Do you think he'll visit Madurai Meenakshi Temple at midnight?
Come, let's go. - Let's go upstairs.
Thamban, has your dad
ever missed to stay back when he come here? - No. - That's it.
That's exactly what I said.
Leave him alone for one or two days in a year.
Poor soul!
Initially, I tried to stop him too.
But then, I realised the depth of their relationship.
They share a close relationship. - Where did Mr. Mathan meet
Nadaswaram Kanakambal for the first time?
Here, in this city. Around 10-15 years ago
we were on our way from Sonpur after buying an elephant.
There was 'Chitra Pournami' in Madurai Meenakshi Temple.
Nadaswaram Kanakambal was performing on the stage.
He sat there saying we would leave after a while.
Even after the performance was over and everyone left, he didn't move.
Kanakambal is still unmarried.
Her parents and sister died. She is alone now.
Didn't you see Mathan going out, all dressed up, after a bath?
I can describe in detail
what exactly is going to happen.
Do you want to hear? - Yes.
Yes. - Yes. - Yes. - Yes.
Mathan would get down from an auto
in front of the east entrance of Gandhari Amman Temple.
He'd buy jasmine flowers for Rs. 100 from a florist
and keep it in his bag.
Then he'd walk towards the east in a trance.
He'd stop in front of the house named 'Kamboji'
at the end of the street.
He'd take the flowers in his hand and smell it.
He'd then climb the stairs to the entrance.
Kanakambal would be waiting there with a big smile on her face.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Your beauty is incomparable."
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
They will share their stories in half an hour.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Your beauty is incomparable."
Half an hour to be precise.
When the clock strikes 8:30 p.m., she will get up.
Then she'd lovingly invite Mathan to the dining hall.
A scrumptious feast would be ready on the table.
After dinner, she would make betel leaf
for Mathan and offer it to him with a sweet smile.
Now, it's 9 p.m.
Kanakambal would get up instantly.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Your beauty is incomparable."
'It's time to leave, darling.'
Her eyes will request Mathan to leave.
He'd get out of the house reluctantly
and look at her one more time.
Kanakambal would look at him, smile and shut the door.
That's the end of the story.
How is it? - The belt is loose.
You may take my belt. - Shut up.
You have waited for so long.
Wait for half an hour more.
Mr. Xavier, the car's belt was loose already.
Thrissur is not very far. Should we worry?
Mr. Xavier, isn't the car in bad condition?
You go and feed the elephant.
I'll take care of the car. - Is Mr. Mathan back?
Car belt is missing, so is Dad.
Where did Dad and Mr. Kunjoonju go? - They have gone to buy clothes.
Not at all. They've gone to Tasmac.
What is it? - The beverage shop in Tamil Nadu.
Wait and see. The two will come sloshed.
Move aside.
"A bridegroom came."
"Puthuveli Pappachan's daughter's"
"daughter, Rosily"
"got an alliance from Puthuvankulangara."
"I will go to the Guruvayur Temple one day." - I'll go to Guruvayur!
If Philipose hears this, he'd ask me to send it to Rome.
It's the Secretary's call. Speak, here.
Hold it near my ear.
Who told you that?
Who told you? Tell him not to play with Mathan.
Yes.
If I've supplied an elephant, I know how to get money from them.
Ask his father if he wants to know more about me.
Rascal!
Don't give him the way, Mathan. Let's teach him a lesson.
I thought I'll let him overtake.
But now, I won't allow him to overtake!
I didn't say that to you.
He is trying to scare Thiruvambadi Mathan by honking.
Start the car, Mathan. He hit us, and now he is staring!
I won't spare him.
Don't spare him! He is challenging you.
Today is the last day of your life, you scoundrel.
Speed up.
He rammed into our car and now has come to enjoy the meal!
I won't allow him to eat!
He deserves a tight slap!
Mathan, be strong.
This is so steep. Where did he disappear?
Is she enjoying?
Dear..
Hello. Yes, hold on.
Brother, there's a call for you.
Hello. - There he is.
Yes, give the phone to him.
Thank you so much. Okay.
You son of a bitch!
There he goes!
Who did you think I am?
Hey! - They'll thrash us.
Let's go.
Brother! What happened?
Hey! Catch them.
Hey.
Don't let them go. Catch them.
Don't let them go.
Come on.
Hey! Go..
He dared to hit our brother.
Who are they?
Follow them. Don't let them go.
Quick.
They are not following us anymore.
Are they gone?
Thank God! We escaped.
Which place are we in? - What?
How do we go back?
I'll call Thamban. - Okay.
No, he will be worried. - Oh.
Start the car.. We have no other choice.
They will move aside.
Come on!
Come.
Come on.
You.. Stop!
Attend the phone call if it is from home.
Or your wife will get worried.
It's so late. Should we inform the police?
I was thinking the same too. - What do you say? Shall we?
We lost our way. By the time we found it
we got stuck in a traffic block. We somehow managed to reach.
Get ready to leave. Let's go.
Dad, don't.. - Here's a Sari for Anjali.
Don't ask him anything now.
Hello. Yes, it's me.
I was not in a situation to call.
What? I'll tell you once we reach home.
We're starting. Hang up, now.
Is there a way to escape right away?
If we go by road, they might..
He has a back pain.
We're thinking of taking the train. Isn't there a train at night?
Kunjoonju, tell me the truth. What happened?
Tell me.
It wasn't intentional. It just happened.
Good Lord!
Thamban, don't waste time.
Cross the border of Madurai, tonight.
Do what you can.
Get down.
Son, cross this river
and go two kilometres ahead. It's a forest area.
Go straight to Andipatti.
You'll see river Vaigai. If you cross that, you'll reach Theni.
Will waterway be a problem? - No, it won't.
If you go that side, water is only at knee level.
Don't waste time. Go immediately. - Okay.
Son, I know it's a mistake.
But the after effect of it..
Shakthivel's younger brother is in the ICU now.
Pray to the God
to bring his life out of danger.
I think the phone is ringing. - What?
Your phone is ringing.
Hello.
Xavier, I can't hear you. - Son, Shiva is..
What? Shiva..
Shiva is no more.
Things have taken an ugly turn. I'll call you later.
You son of a bitch!
Sir, we've found the Sumo vehicle, but it's registered in Karnataka.
I'll give you the details soon.
How could they do it? In our place, right in front of us
they killed our kid!
But none of you saw him.
Is this why I feed you all?
You were with him, weren't you? Then how did this happen?
Sir, we've brought the Sumo owner. - Okay.
His car hit your brother.
Hello, sir. - He is from Bangalore.
He came to our place on a business trip.
His Sumo broke down.
He gave it for repair at a workshop.
Which workshop? - Tenjur Auto workshop, SRM Road.
Where is he?
Where's Xavier?
Your shop is next to his garage. Don't you know where he is?
You tell me. Where did he go?
We haven't seen him since yesterday morning.
I don't know where he is, I swear.
We won't allow anyone to sleep until we find the killer.
Give me one night.
Tomorrow morning, Xavier will be at your feet.
How many Malayalees work in this area?
Maybe, around 40.
I want all of them before me, tomorrow morning!
You son of a bitch!
Repeat it.
Come on, say it. You son of a bitch! Say it!
Repeat what he said.
You son of a bitch!
Say it again. - You son of a bitch!
You son of a bitch!
Come again. - You son of a bitch!
One more time. - You son of a bitch!
Say again. - You son of a bitch! - Again!
You son of a bitch!
Where's your native place?
- Thrissur.
"Hail love."
"The setting sun burns like fire."
"The heart is on fire like a poisonous snake."
"Vengeance finds its way to its prey."
"Time will not heal the wounds."
"Only revenge can douse the fire within me."
"The setting sun burns like fire."
"The heart is on fire like a poisonous snake."
"Vengeance finds its way to its prey."
"It finds its way."
Hello.
Did you see the grace of our elephant?
Parameshwaran was dumbstruck.
What's the matter?
They're coming here. - Who?
Shakthivel.
Don't think much. Shift Mathan from here.
Sugar canes are ready for harvest in Marayur. Take him there.
He needn't know anything now.
Do as I say.
I'm waiting for morning.
He is happy that we won the temple festival.
Oh, God! Save him.
There's an urgent work. Come.
Why are you leaving with him to the hill, at this odd hour?
Sugar canes are ready for harvest.
I'll be there for the next four days.
If I don't take Dad along, he will loiter around.
He'd be disciplined if he is with me.
What is he doing? Ask him to come quickly. - Okay.
Bye. Hold this. Get in the car.
Should I come too? - I have some work. Come.
Okay, bye. - Go.
I need to go. - It's of no use.
Bye.
Kuriachan, they're here. Come on.
Come quickly.
Take the luggage inside.
Rafi. - Everything is set.
You don't have to tell me anything.
Kuriachan, bring the luggage upstairs.
Please come.
Dear, did you reach?
Is anyone around? - No. What's the matter?
Don't ask me anything. Just listen to what I say.
We are not in Marayur.
We've come to Karnataka for a festival of elephants.
Listen to me. - Stop here..
If anyone enquires, tell them we're in Karnataka.
Not only you, tell everyone in our family the same.
What's the matter?
Nothing. Did you understand what I said? Hang up, now.
Hello. - Mr. Achu.
Kannan, Chandran and Salim.
Ask them to reach my home in 15 minutes.
Is it urgent? - Yes, it is. And..
Let them be there till I return.
If strangers.. - Yes.
If you see any stranger around, inform me immediately. - Sure.
Remove all the flex boards and hoardings in the city
within half an hour and keep them in the mill.
Within half an hour!
Don't forget, Mr. Achu. Within half an hour!
Just a minute.
Hey, DSP Salim is waiting at the reception.
Should I ask him to come? - Okay.
Yes, come to the room. Okay.
Which one is his room? - That one. - Okay.
Sir. Tell me who he is.
I will bring him to you.
Who is he? If I knew that
I would've shot him down before Shiva's body was cremated.
I saw him.
His face is etched in my mind.
His voice still echoes in my ears.
You son of a bitch!
But I don't know who he is
or where he lives.
I don't know anything.
But let me tell you this.
I want him.
What does going berserk mean? - What does it mean?
It's another word for happiness and excitement.
Every insect, animal, human being and even
the trees and plants feel happy.
His phone is switched off. - Did he drop the idea of coming?
No, he won't do that. - He is a Panchayat President.
He must be held up with work.
There he is.
You must've tried calling me. But I switched the mobile off.
Isn't that safe?
I know Shakthivel's dad's lawyer who is in Madurai.
He is Mr. Mani. Advocate Veeramani.
He is retired.
Still, he has a good influence.
I've spoken to him already.
He told me he'd tell me if there's any scope for compromise.
Come. - Dad is unaware of this situation.
He shouldn't know about it.
In these circumstances, our department
finds the culprits with the help of sketches.
Let's try along similar lines.
I'll get an expert from the department.
Ramu. - Yes?
I know you're busy.
But I have no choice.
I entrust my dad to you until I come back.
What are you saying?
Both of you gave my life back.
You spent so much money to save my life
even when the doctor gave up on me.
I will do anything for you.
No one will enter this place without your permission.
Don't worry. Go.
Do you have any doubt?
My people will guard this place all the time.
I will also be here. Don't worry at all.

I came to know everything.
When you come to my place for help
it's my duty to get it done.
Ours is not only a business relationship.
If someone has come to Madurai and threatened you
he would not be an ordinary man.
Who in Thrissur has that courage?
I can think of only one person.
It might be his courage or his indiscretion.
The day on which the incident took place makes me think that..
It's only a guess.
If he is not the one we will search for the right one.
Is he the one you're looking for?
Excuse me, give me tea.
It's Mr. Xavier.
Hello, Xavier.
Hello..
Mr. Xavier, it's me. - Thamban.
Hello.
Thamban.
Hello. - Hello..
Shucks!
Come, let's look there.
Come on.
Xavier, I was about to take a left from Andipatti.
Thank God, I took this route.
Hello. - Hello.
I'm scared to death.
Be brave. Don't worry. Nothing will happen.
Trust me.
Give the phone to Thankachan. - Here.
Sir. - Thankachan, where are you halting tonight?
At Valparai. - I'll call up Mr. Kunjoonju now.
Drop Xavier safely to a truck going to Marayur.
Till then, don't let him go out.
Always be with him. - Don't worry, sir.
No one will mess with me.
I'll take care of Xavier. - Okay.
They're trying to get hold of us in all possible ways.
Rain is so unpredictable.
Yes, the rain..
What's the matter?
Tell me, please.
I cannot bear to see you
worried all the time.
Dad's life is in danger.
Someone has come to kill dad.
I won't give away my dad to him. I cannot do that.
Thamban is capable enough to face any enemy.
But dad shouldn't know about this.
He pretends to be stubborn.
But he has the heart of a child. He'll be shattered.
He has had two heart attacks already. That's my concern.
I want to put an end to this without anybody's knowledge.
I'm struggling to sort things out.
Everything will be all right.
Till then, stand by me.
Two trucks loaded with palm leaves
from Pollachi to Kerala have crossed the check post today.
As per the information received from the Regional Transport Office
both the trucks are registered under the same name.
Mr. Sunny Cherian, Mannil Kalayil, Thrissur.
We enquired. There is a house.
But no one lives there now.
We got a piece of information.
Sir, his name is Kunjoonju, a native of Marangattupilly.
Who is he? - Kunjoonju. He owns around 30 trucks.
He supplies palm leaves to all the elephants in Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
Sunny Cherian is his brother's son.
Hey!
Where is Kunjoonju's house?
That's not his house. He has no house or family.
He is a free bird.
Go to Thiruvambadi house and enquire. They will know.
How do we go to Thiruvambadi house?
Go straight towards the east for half a kilometre.
Then take the first right. There's Thiruvambadi house.
Hey!
There's a call from home. Your dad is on the line.
He is calling for the fourth time. Please talk to him.
Shakthivel, come back.
What had to happen has already happened.
Forget about it now.
The child's life is our priority right now.
When she regains consciousness
she will look for you.
Come quickly.
Son, she was always in your arms.
Think about our child. Please come back for her sake.
Talk to him. Ask him to come back.
Come back.
But bring the head of the man who killed Shiva.
'But bring the head of the man who killed Shiva.'
I'm Thamban.
Thiruvambadi Thamban Tharakan.
You're looking for my father.
You!
That's a little too much, sir.
Do you think you can harm him in our city?
We'll chop you into pieces.
You don't know our true colours!
Shakthivel, I'm not here to wage war against you.
I know nothing can substitute
your brother's life.
But my dad has never hurt anyone.
It just happened.
He is an old man. It happened by mistake.
Can't you forgive him?
Tell me what you want in return. Do you need our wealth?
If that's not enough, take away my life.
But spare my dad.
Your life! Who wants it?
A man and his voice!
That's what brought me here!
I say this
right in front of you.
I will grant 24 hours to your dad.
You may hide him wherever you want. I will trace him.
I will behead him right in front of your eyes.
This is a promise by Shakthivel.
Shiva was not only my brother
but he was also my life. You better know that!
Nair, why are the elephants exhibited here?
All the elephants are here, in the courtyard.
All of them came back at the same time. That's all.
We've to go to Thrippunithura in the morning. - Oh.
Something has gone wrong. But none of them is telling us.
Hello.
Yes, Achu. - Shakthivel vacated the hotel room.
Kannan is missing.
He is not reachable on the phone.
Hey, tell me. Where is Mathan?
Tell me, Kannan.
Where have you hidden him?
Answer me.
You..
You're too young. You deserve to live long.
Don't die an early death.
Tell us the truth and return alive.
Where's Thiruvambadi Mathan Tharakan?
Answer me.
Come on, tell me.
Tell me.
Tell me!
He is the loyal dog of Thiruvambadi Mathan Tharakan!
He isn't uttering a word even after all the torture!
Look at him..
What happened? - Oh!
Yes, tell me.
Okay, I'll talk to you later. Hang up.
You're lucky that a truck came that way at the right time.
I've mentioned it as an accident in the FIR.
But I suggest that you stay away from Thrissur for a while.
Don't underestimate Thiruvambadi family.
Two days. Just two days.
I'll inform you where Mathan is.
For now, please return to Madurai. It's my request.
Give that.
Alright.
See you.
"I have twinkling eyes."
"I am as beautiful as the flowering trees."
"I am known for my catwalk. Won't you look at my charm?"
It's the workshop owner.
"I have twinkling eyes."
Hello, Kannan. This is me, Xavier.
I'm not able to reach Thamban and Aravindakshan on the phone.
He'd told me that he'd send a truck of palm leaves to Ravipuram.
I have no news after that.
Has any truck left from there?
You ask them and let me know.
And..
Hope Mr. Mathan is still in Marayur, isn't he?
Mr. Xavier, get in. Let's go. - Okay.
Hello. - Thamban.
They're following us.
They're chasing us from Chettipalayam.
Where did you reach?
Where are we now? - Amarapuram.
We just passed Amarapuram.
Give the phone to the driver. - Okay.
Hello. - Once you pass Amarapuram
you'll see Chakarapetty bridge. Take a right from there.
Take the Andi road. - Where exactly in Andi road?
Do as I say!
Till yesterday, I had felt guilty.
Although it was not deliberate
my dad was responsible
for your younger brother's death.
But now, I don't feel guilty.
You killed one of my men.
You cannot be forgiven, Shakthivel.
The game begins now.
It's a war between you and me.
Let's fight face to face.
Whom do you want?
Thiruvambadi Mathan Tharakan, my dad.
Even if all your men in Madurai
come all the way from there
you won't be able to find my dad!
Do you understand?
Yes, I do understand. I understand very well.
But you failed to understand me.
You don't understand anything.
Look here.
I don't want him.
I want your father, Thiruvambadi Mathan.
I want him in my city, Madurai.
You will bring him, to the place I tell you
at a time decided by me.
I'll take your leave.
Excuse me. May I drink some water from your bottle?
Kunjoonju. - "Hail the name of Lord Ayyappa."
Kunjoonju.
Kunjoonju!
Where is he roaming around keeping his mobile phone here?
"Let's burn camphor." - It's Thamban.
Yes. - Mr. Kunjoonju, it's me.
Is dad around?
Things are going out of control.
Xavier is also in their custody.
He asked me to take dad to Madurai in no time.
Otherwise, Xavier's life will be..
Kannan is no more. Next is Xavier..
We managed to hide this from dad so far.
But we can't.. I don't know what to do.
I'll reach there tonight.
I'll go to Madurai tomorrow, with Ramanujam.
I don't know what will happen.
But I'm sure about one thing.
As long as I am alive
he will not touch my dad.
I won't let him take away my dad.
Dad shouldn't know about this at any cost.
Kannan's phone is with them.
Make sure that dad doesn't call on that number.
And.. Hello..
Hello..
Mr. Kunjoonju, it's me.
Dear.. - Speak softly.
They could have taken me instead of Xavier.
Mister, come with me.
Everything will be over tomorrow, like a nightmare. Come.
Peter, take him inside. Go.
Be careful.
Where's dad? - He is asleep.
I hope he isn't aware of anything. - No. - Thamban.
Tomorrow is Shiva's final rites.
His ashes will be scattered in the sea.
That is why Shakthivel went back.
He won't let go off Xavier. He will keep in custody. Let's go.
Our men are at your disposal.
You just have to make a phone call. They will be here to help.
Mr. Thamban.
Mathan is missing.
Mr. Mathan!
Dad.
Dad! - Mister..
Dad!
'Kannan's phone is with them.'
"I have twinkling eyes." - I'll call you back.
"I am as beautiful as the flowering trees."
"I am known for my catwalk. Won't you look at my charm?"
Hello. - I'm Mathan.
Thiruvambadi Mathan. - Is that you?
Did you come here? Where are you? Tell me.
You want me, don't you? Then, set Xavier free.
I will release him right away.
Where are you now?
He is here in Madurai.
We have to send our men to get him.
Xavier!
Wait there. I'll send a car.
They released Xavier.
So, where's Mathan?
"I will go"
"to Guruvayur Temple someday."
"The door to your altar will open"
"and I will get a glimpse of you, Lord Krishna."
Dad, where are you now?
Hello.
Dad, they set Xavier free.
He had called me. Nothing will happen to you.
As long as I'm alive, nothing will happen to you, Dad.
Tell me where you are.
Tell me, Dad.
You son of a bitch!
Yes, Selvam. Tell me.
Okay. Thamban.
Shakthivel's men are travelling on the Rameswaram Highway.
My men who were at the toll gate just informed me.
Let's go to Rameswaram. Come on, let's go.
Mathan. Thiruvambadi Mathan.
Look, there.
You killed my brother who deserved to live long.
I'm here to scatter his ashes in the sea.
After that, I'll turn you into ashes.
Come.
Your son will come looking for you.
Thiruvambadi Thamban.
Let him find your ashes.
Pray to all the Gods.
Thamban, give me a minute.
Ramanujam. I'm a Tamilian too.
Malayalees and Tamilians live together happily in harmony.
Don't create tension between them for your personal reasons.
You are at fault, and so are they.
But what you're going to do now is a grave sin.
No. Spare his father.
Get lost!
Hey! How dare you hit him?
Thamban, some people follow words.
Some others only understand the action.
You are right. Go ahead.
Where is my dad, Shakthivel?
Where is my dad?
What did you ask?
Do you want to know where your dad is?
Where is my brother?
He was like my shadow.
He meant everything to me.
He held my hand and learned to walk.
He was like a son to me. Where is he?
Your dad came to my place and killed him under my nose!
Your dad, Thiruvambadi Mathan.
I need your dad's life to complete the final rites of my brother.
And you should witness his death. Come!
Hey!
Mom!
Thamara!
Dad..
Thamban, no!
Dad!
You cannot kill him, Shakthivel.
Not just you.
Thousands of people together can also not kill him.
The noble deeds he did would save him.
But your sins have started chasing you.
Be careful.
I have nothing to give you
to make up for your brother's loss. Please forgive me.
It was my mistake.
It was my mistake alone.
May God bless you. Be happy.
Dad. Dad!
What's this, Dad? We are done.
Come on, cheer up now.
Ramu, there's beer bottle inside the trunk.
Open the bottle and pour it into dad's mouth.
Shut up, idiot! If you drink while you drive
I will kick your ass!
Dad is back in action. Let's go to Thrissur.
It's celebration time.
