Park it elsewhere!
You are done with the loading. Why are you still waiting?
Don't get mad. We'll leave now.
What are you looking around? Hurry up.
But I don't have the keys.
What a waste of time! Where is your driver?
Don't give me that look. Go find the driver.
Karthu, have you seen Chandran anywhere?
No.
Where did he go?
Who knows all that?
Welcome to the 'Game of chance'.
You earn double the amount you bet. All are welcome!
You don't have to worry. Anyone can play.
There's no cheating or magic involved.
Come on. Let's play.
You'll get ten rupees for five rupees.
Two rupees! - You'll get four rupees for two rupees.
Anyone else who wants to bet? Can I start?
Ten rupees. You'll get to earn twenty rupees.
It's King. All the money goes to the company.
Joker!
Who decided on Joker? You paid five rupees.
Here, take this ten rupees.
Let's begin the next round. - Chandran!
You earn double the amount you bet.
All are welcome! Come and play!
What is this, Chandran? We'll have to leave now.
Others are waiting to take the load.
They don't have to. - See..
Serve the card.
I am going to lay the cards. Look!
You can bet on any of it.
One rupee! - I bet ten rupees.
Ten rupees! - This is unfair!
Get lost! I'll kick you now. - Anyone can play!
You earn double the amount you bet!
I don't need the keys. It's loaded. I can't drive.
You've been with me for a long time.
What did you learn? - No trick, deceit or magic. Joker!
Who gave one rupee?
You have won two rupees. Take it.
Rest is for the company.
No! I didn't see. Play it once again.
That's not my problem. You should have paid attention.
I didn't see it. Lay it again!
How is it my mistake if you didn't see it?
You'll have to serve it again. - Impossible.
Take your hands off!
How dare you? - Chandran!
What are you doing, Chandran?
How is it his mistake if you didn't watch the game?
You can't react like this just because you lost your money.
Let me go, dog! Am I over reacting?
Money is nothing to me!
If I had saved the money I spent on drinks
I could buy your entire family.
Well, Chandran..
leave my family alone.
We'll get a new family. What do you think?
Get lost, you idiot!
Don't give me excuses.
I've been waiting for over half an hour now.
The one who went to find him is also missing.
Let him come!
Don't mess with him, Chacko. He is a hot headed guy.
But how can you let him go?
He is coming. I don't think he found him.
Where is he?
I am going to break this vehicle now!
Go ahead!
No, Chandran.
Do you know for how long he was gone?
He must have been ogling all this while.
Didn't you call him names?
In that case, I won't take this load.
I'll handle you later!
You don't have to account to anyone.
It is your own vehicle.
If I miss one load
I will have to listen to that stingy Nair's accusations.
So my dear Chandran!
Starting trouble. Someone has to push it.
I will do it!
Hey, Bhaskar! Abdul! Jawahar!
Please come here.
Help me push this lorry! - Push..
Go on! Go! Push it!
Yes.. - Right..
Go! Right..
This will do!
Let's go!
What? No!
Wait! Apply the brakes.
Keep that wood. - Hold on!
I'll keep the wood.
Right!
Go forward!
Go forward.
Go on!
Go..
Good to go! Right!
We are saved. I thought it will go back.
This lorry won't let me down.
For over 12 years, I have been driving it.
He knows our problems.
Puncture!
I am sure he very well knows about your problems.
Stop joking and go change the tire.
This is a useless lorry!
Before I die, I wish to see it run properly.
What is wrong with her?
She is Mr. Narayanan daughter!
Or else, I would have..
She always keeps asking me about you.
She is beautiful!
Both by looks and character.
Mr. Narayanan is no way less, too!
Why don't you consider?
Look! I will start swearing now!
You can stay alone all your life.
You can spend all your earnings
on drinks, gambling and girls..
Every time I go home, Ramani tells me
that you like us, needs a family, too.
When you come home next
she said she will convince you.
Started with Ramani and family!
What do you want to stay quiet?
Get married and start a family!
Only then you'll know how good it is.
Though, I am physically present here
my thoughts are with my family.
When you get old
your body will become weak.
You won't have anyone to fetch you water.
That's only when I get old.
Then?
I will never be a burden to anyone.
In future, if there's a situation where I am dependent on someone
I will end my life.
Then they will just have to bury me.
I own the space for my gravestone.
Oh, God!
Oh, dear God! It's the boss. - You idiot!
How dare you pour water on me?
I didn't see you, sir.
You have two eyes. Why don't you use it?
Where is that rogue? - Who?
Your boss Chandran! - He is in his room.
Go call him immediately. Or else, I'll seize the vehicle.
Don't, boss. It's our livelihood.
I don't care.
Do you know
he owes me over 10,000 rupees.
He promised to pay me every month.
It's almost been a year. I am going to court.
You know about Chandran.
Earlier, he was working for you.
He will definitely return your money.
When? After my funeral?
He was roaming aimlessly. That's when I taught him driving.
Now he is trying to fool me.
I will not take it anymore.
The car is giving me trouble now.
Stop! Can you help me start the car?
I will definitely help you.
But you have to give me two rupees.
Just to push the vehicle? - I need money for the work I do.
I shouldn't be charging my boss.
But what can I do?
Do you know, boss?
In two to three months, I will be a dad.
I have to build a house.
I don't get the wood and bricks for free.
Good! You are not like your friend.
You care for your family!
Take this. I am giving you five rupees.
Go on. - Very happy, sir.
Right!
Hold on! - Push!
Don't apply the brakes now.
Go on!
I'll go then.
Boss!
Do you have a father to come and see you?
You promised to come home on the first. Did you come?
The vehicle needs a lot of overhaul.
Every week, for about two to three days it is in the workshop.
I didn't ask you about it. Did you bring the money?
No. I didn't have money.
In that case, I am seizing your vehicle.
Okay!
How will you lead your life then?
That's not your problem, boss.
Driving is not the only thing I know.
As long as my hands are strong
I can survive.
Don't get worked up now.
Why did you get furious then?
I am not leaving this place.
Even if I do, you have the documents.
Then why do you worry? When I have money, I'll repay the loan.
No. I meant to ask..
I know!
I have been hearing this for a long time now.
You want those three cents of land, isn't it?
Please think about it.
I own 32 cents of land.
You can do nothing with those three cents.
If you transfer that to me
your loan will be done with.
You can charge a higher price, too!
Then I won't have to trouble you every month.
I will return the lorry documents to you.
If you have them
you can pledge the same
and borrow money. - No, sir.
I am not giving it.
Suppose I die tomorrow
I don't want to be unattended.
My dad was buried in that land.
I wish to be buried in the same spot.
If so, please forget whatever I told you.
It's not going to double if you keep counting.
How much have you saved?
Useless fellow!
You won't pay a single penny even if I was going to die.
You refuse to have tea even when you are hungry.
Keep it safe. Take it with you.
Didn't I tell you, Chandran?
I have to construct a house.
A small room..
and a kitchen. That will do!
Constructing a house is a huge task. Take some time.
Ramani is already five months pregnant.
She can't wait.
Only after she married me..
Will she leave you if the construction doesn't take place?
Ravi has other means to earn money
apart from being the lorry assistant.
Chandran's lorry gives trouble almost every day.
Why don't you sell it?
What will he do after selling it?
With such a bad attitude
Chandran will never find a job.
What's wrong with Chandran's attitude?
Don't think that Chandran is alone.
There are people like us to support him!
Look at her blushing!
Is there a letter for K.K. Ravi? - Yes.
Who is it from? Your wife?
Looks like Ravi's wife has nothing better to do.
She writes two letters in a week.
Look at his face!
Enough! How many months pregnant is she?
Five!
It's not even been a year since you got married
you are going to have baby already. - That's how men should be.
Will you give us a treat?
Definitely!
I will hold a feast for Sarala, Karthu
Mariama and everyone here
on the day of my daughter's naming ceremony.
Daughter?
How do you know it is a girl?
I am sure. It's a girl.
I checked with the basil plant.
It predicted the same thrice.
The basil plant never fails.
'My beloved husband Ravi.'
'Your wife Ramani is writing this letter.'
'Did you get the letter I wrote last week?'
Yes, dear. Yes. I also sent a reply.
'The temple festival is going to be held next Friday.'
'There is going to be a spiritual talk show'
'and a lot more programs.'
'I want you to come.'
'Mom said, Kunjuttan has offered to give some wood from his land.'
'She says we can get all the wood to construct our house.'
'Your daughter is beginning to trouble me.'
'She is kicking inside my womb.'
"Whenever I close my eyes to sleep, I have dreams about you."
"The gentle breeze brings your fragrance with it, beauty."
"Whenever I close my eyes to sleep, I have dreams about you."
"Beside a pond, adjacent to the hills."
"I wish to start a family with you and lead a happy life."
"You are as beautiful as a blooming flower."
"Whenever I close my eyes to sleep, I have dreams about you."
"The gentle breeze brings your fragrance with it, beauty."
"Whenever I close my eyes to sleep, I have dreams about you."
"Amidst all the bird chirping."
"Our dear darling will sleep in our house."
"I'll forget all my pains, lying beside you."
"Whenever I close my eyes to sleep, I have dreams about you."
"Oh beauty, the gentle breeze
carries your fragrance in it."
"Whenever I close my eyes to sleep, I have dreams about you."
'The temple festival will be held next Friday!'
'I want you to come.'
You haven't said anything, Chandran.
What do I say? Go and return as soon as you can.
I can come only after two weeks.
Who will assist me then?
Please find someone for two weeks.
I'll come only after the house construction is done.
I can't keep it pending for long.
You don't have to sacrifice anything for me.
You can go wherever you want.
Be it for the construction of your house
or taking care of your family.
Take it. - What's this?
A man from Tamil Nadu got this. Take this.
Keep this with you.
What's this?
You have paid my salary already.
Do we share such a formal relationship?
Chandran!
You have lots of expenses coming up. Keep it.
Take it.
If you want more, send word through someone.
Chandran!
Please don't mind.
I have enough money with me.
I don't need this.
Why do you burden yourself with more loans?
If you say such things
I'll kill you.
Don't keep standing around. Go home early!
"The palace made out of flowers and pearls."
"The palace made out of moon."
If you are going to wait for the bus, you'll end up staying here.
It arrives as and when it pleases.
So board a lorry going to town.
Once you reach town, you will get a lot of buses.
It is Chacko's lorry.
I'll board that. Bye!
Hey! Come back as soon as you can.
Chandran is feeling very bad!
Chacko, can you drop to the town?
Hold my bags! Right!
Ravi..
Ravi!
Lift him up. Ravi..
He is coming here.
Do you think if you stand here, he'll come faster?
He said he'll come yesterday.
But he hasn't come yet.
Now he'll end up coming at midnight.
Let him come home.
Every year, Varanatu Gopalan plays at the procession.
The procession does not move a step forward without it.
Dear! The procession is coming. Light the lamp.
Dear! Ravi is here!
Mom! Chandran is accompanying him this time.
Where is Ravi?
Please come with me.
Come along, dear.
Over there!
My son!
You left us too soon. My son!
Dig a little more.
Forget what happened.
There is no point in questioning anymore.
That's all a man's life is.
Is everyone here? - Almost.
Why are we still waiting then? - My son!
My darling son! My son will never return!
Do you want to wait till tomorrow?
No! It's already time.
We can't keep it any longer. The pit is ready.
Has no one come from there? - A few have arrived.
Who knows if it was an accident or a murder?
Chandran, don't.
Anyway, let's not keep him for long. Make it fast.
Chandran, all funeral rites are done.
There's a bus at 7:15. We are planning to take it.
Can't we go together?
You stay here for a couple of days. Give them moral support.
We can leave only after the locals here are settled.
Do you need money? - Not required. I have it.
Then let's not delay. We'll leave.
Bye. - Let's go. Come.
An astrologer had predicted that
I would own a house when I am 28.
He also said my lucky period will last till I am 40 years old.
You'll win a lottery then. - I am not that lucky!
I must live my life.
My Ramani shouldn't have any regrets.
Our daughter
must be born in our new house.
By God's grace, I will complete it.
I will give my life to accomplish it.
Hey!
Have your friends left? - Yes.
Have some porridge. - No!
You are grieving along with Ramani.
Don't starve. Please have this.
I have lots of work to do. Hold this.
Will you stay here alone?
If you are scared, I'll ask someone to come.
No need.
I am going. - Alone?
Yes.
This stick is my weapon.
Come..
Please have some water.
It's all fate. There's nothing we can do about it.
I don't know why God has punished you like this.
You can't keep crying like this forever.
Just because Ravi is dead, don't think that you have no one.
There is 'Appam' in this. I got it from a shop.
Each time Ravi would come home, we made a special dish.
Yet Ravi would refuse to have it.
He'll go to Shankar's shop and have tea.
On his way back, he'll get a parcel like this
for me and his wife.
So they are refusing to pluck coconuts, isn't it?
Yes.
What do we do now? - I am thinking.
Foolish! You and your thoughts.
I sponsor your food and drink.
It is utterly useless.
No, sir.
Things are not the same anymore.
They have a union now.
A union against Mempully Kochu Varkey?
I don't care.
I have handled much bigger unions than this.
After all, this union has just three to four people.
The numbers maybe small, but things are serious here.
If I wish
they'll fall at my feet in the next few days.
I won't budge that day.
Who is the head of that union?
Kandankoran's son, Kumaran, is the head of the union.
Who?
Is it Kandankoran who fell from the coconut tree and died?
Yes, boss.
Why did you spare him for so long then?
No! But you didn't tell me anything.
Do I have to tell you? You've got to do it on your own.
My dear son!
Son!
Kumaran!
Dear!
Someone hit him. - Dear!
Move aside! - Son!
Move away!
Dear!
Son! Kumaran!
Are you all right?
Why are you interfering?
You went against powerful people.
What did you achieve by doing all this?
Someone has hurt my son badly!
Who did so?
It's fine. Take him to the hospital.
Dear! - Here. Take this.
Take him in that bus.
Hold him. Help him up. - Come on. Hold!
Careful!
Don't mention anything at the hospital about the fight.
They will register a case.
Say that he fell down. Do you hear me?
Why are you all standing here? Go away.
Let's go.
What happened?
You are new here. Aren't you?
Yes.
I knew it.
This is quite common here.
He'll pay compensation with the same hands that he hurt you with.
That is Kochu Varkey!
Will you stay here for some time? - Maybe.
You'll get to see a lot more then.
Can you spare me some change for tea?
You should earn it.
Sir, have some tea.
You look gorgeous, Rajamma. Very beautiful!
Don't tease me, sir. Let me have a peaceful life.
Have you sorted all your problems with them?
What problem?
I will give them two extra coconuts if they want.
But they should come to me.
Instead, I don't know why they went behind that Kumaran.
Has he been discharged from the hospital?
No problem. But let him stay there for two more days.
There's a small task.
They need Kochu Varkey to spend for that too.
Exactly! You give the small fish as bait to catch the big fish!
Wait!
Why are you in a hurry?
There are a lots of people waiting at the shop, sir.
You take the dried coconuts, don't you?
You don't need to worry about all that.
Neither do you have to inform Sunny.
It is absolutely free for you.
It is only after considering a few prospects that
I let you stay in that place.
I know it.
Then why didn't you invite me over till now?
I'll call you!
It's been years since you have been repeating the same thing.
I won't cheat you like your groom.
I will provide for your livelihood.
In that case, why don't you marry me, sir?
No! Why do I have to marry you?
Let's keep it private.
That's the problem, sir.
Lots of people fail there.
I have an instrument ready for these secret lovers.
Everyone knows about it.
I got it specially made by the blacksmith Kuttappan.
A sickle!
I have no qualms using it.
I've heard that they serve rice twice a day in jail.
Why will I have a problem then?
Bye.
Rajamma, give me a cup of tea.
Velayudhan, give me a break.
What happened, Rajamma? Why are you angry with Velayudhan?
Kochu Varkey is feeding him. He will act as per his instructions.
For how long can he hold on to it?
Kaithukadu Matthu and boss were such great friends.
What happened now?
Matthu was brave. But this one is of no good.
He used get inspired just by looking
at the medal of our deceased writer, Mohammed.
However, he has become a rogue now.
Once he spots a police man, he'll abscond immediately.
Useless!
Don't you have anything else to do?
You have been sitting here since morning.
You useless lecher!
You can't find fault with everything.
I was reading this paper.
Don't you have any work, Govindan? - I have to go.
Since the last two days, I have been quite unwell. Don't know why.
Right! He'll go to work now.
If he works for two days, he won't go for a month after that.
All through the day, he'll just keep ogling.
Every other man has taken up a job and leads a good life.
Whereas, he just loves to waste his time here.
How rude, Rajamma.
I am going to fish.
How much? - Rs. 1.50.
Rajamma!
Do you want fish this afternoon? - Bring it.
I will bring a fine one.
Why don't you serve me 'Puttu' and Chickpea now?
We can settle the account when I bring you the fish.
Govindankutty, don't try to act smart with me.
You can have 'Puttu' and Chickpea
when you bring me the fish.
Sister, I am leaving for work.
I've heard your company is doing great.
Do you get any gain out of it?
It isn't my company, right?
It is bait, devised by that crook Kochu Varkey
to get the natives to pay interest for loan. Smart one!
Why do you come to our shop then?
We don't have a choice.
Rameshan!
If you are going to town, please buy the provisions.
Careful! I heard that Raman Kutty is coming.
He is looking for people brewing brandy.
I heard he is filing cases.
Once that happens I will have to leave town.
I can take care. So don't try to scare me.
Hey!
Haven't you left yet? Come and have a cup of tea.
Hello!
You are Ravi's friend, right?
I saw you at his funeral. Where are you from?
Nowhere specific.
Do you have a name at least?
Yes. My name is Chandran.
Please don't mind me asking you.
I heard Ravi had saved some money.
Few people here are saying that
he was killed for money.
It must be right then.
People keep saying things.
Rajamma, I'll settle the bill in the afternoon.
You must!
When are you leaving?
Not immediately. I have a few tasks.
I'll leave only after I complete those.
Do you think I'll get a job contract here?
Yes. You will.
The river banks are filled with sand.
We supply sand to all neighbouring towns here.
Go meet Sunny.
He has taken the place on lease from the village council.
Where is Mr. Sunny?
He is in his room. Right there.
Didn't you tell her? - I did.
She said she can't come now. She has a few guests.
What else did she say?
She said she'll come after they leave.
She has a huge demand now.
How is it? - Not bad.
Can you assign a contract to me for a few days?
Have you decided to stay back here?
No. I am here for a few days.
Your name is Chandran, right? - Yes.
I will allot you a contract. Do you know anyone here?
I don't know anyone here.
Do one thing.
Take the load.
Deliver it to Mr. Mathew Paul in town.
People know him.
He is a contractor.
Inform him that I sent you. That will do.
Yes.
Hey, direct them to provide a load to him.
What is it?
The load is ready.
Since I didn't get to see you for two days
I assumed you left.
I was right here. But I couldn't come home.
Ramani?
She is in a miserable state.
She is extremely upset and refuses to eat or drink.
She does not realize that there is another life dependent on her.
These are Ravi's things.
Everything is inside this.
There is some money in it.
He always dreamt of constructing a house.
He had saved this money for that purpose.
Ask her not to cry.
I avoided coming here to stay away from all this.
My Ramani should not have any regrets.
Our daughter
must be born in our new house.
It was Ravi's last wish.
We must somehow fulfil it.
Only after I complete the task, I will leave.
In that case, it would be ideal for you to keep this money.
Not required.
No. You must handle the money.
Otherwise, the natives will find fault with me.
Please have some food before you leave.
No. I already had.
Dear!
From today on you may dine with us.
There's enough space for you to sleep here.
Not required.
I will dine outside and sleep in my lorry.
That's what I like.
'Liquor.' - 'Alcohol consumption is injurious to health.'
Hey..
Who is this in the middle of the night?
Please give me a 150 ml.
It's very cold here.
The shop is closed. We don't sell now.
So we won't give 50ml or 100ml.
Do you still want? - Give me a half.
You can take the balance tomorrow.
Can you spare a little for me?
It's extremely cold.
Those are my legs.
I have left it there.
Your name is Chandran, right?
Can you give me little? - Here.
Are you staying at Janamma's house? - No, I stay in my lorry.
That's good.
This village does not know gratitude.
I have never seen anyone smile or merciful here.
Who are you?
Can't you see? I am a homeless person.
Sometimes, I ask a few people for a cup of tea.
I'll take it, if they give me. Or else, I don't mind.
Are you from this town?
Yes. You may say so.
I was called Kaithukadu Matthu!
No one calls me that anymore.
Have you seen Mempully Kochu Varkey's house?
That used to be my house.
He took over my house and severed my legs.
Don't think that I am cribbing. I have no regrets.
I know I deserve it.
Because I have committed
a lot of mistakes when I was younger.
I am paying the price now.
If you want to sleep, you may leave.
Will you stay in this town for long?
Don't stay for long.
This village has a specialty.
Once you stay, it will never let you go. Sticks to you like a leech.
You must know to keep a promise.
You shouldn't go back on your word.
You lied to me.
I don't wish to see your face.
Didn't you say it with pride that you'll never leave town?
What happened now?
No matter wherever you go in this country
I'll find you.
Are you going to repay my loan or not?
I want an answer right now.
This can't continue anymore.
Or else, I'll file a case with the police.
I'll tell them your papers are not valid.
Then the police will thrash you.
Why aren't you talking? Are you tongue tied?
I'm waiting for you to finish.
I have nothing more to say.
I am done with this.
I didn't leave town with the intention of cheating you.
Do you know that Ravi died?
I know all that. Every human dies someday.
You can't use that as a reason.
How is it connected to this loan?
Do I have to explain it to you?
Are you such a cold hearted person?
You know everything about Ravi.
There is no one to care of that old lady and his wife.
I won't be able to support them throughout my life.
But his last wish was
to construct a house for them.
I wish to do that for him.
That's why I am planning to stay here for a while.
Otherwise, my intention was not to cheat you.
If you don't trust me, take my lorry.
Chandran!
Are you angry?
You may have a tough face, but you have a golden heart.
It's fine. Take this.
Take it!
There you go.
I have to get back before midnight.
Come!
Come on, dear.
So have you started the work?
Yes.
You'll need good quality materials for construction.
Let me know if you need any help.
No. I have enough money. I have got a job here.
Constructing a house is not an easy task.
Once you start, it goes on and on.
If you need anything, please write to me.
Do I have to give it a push? - That's your vehicle.
I have repaired my car. It's as good as new.
I'll leave.
Hey! Don't exhibit your prowess here.
If someone kills you and throws you in to the sea
no one would know about it.
Ramani!
Make some tea, dear.
Are you constructing this house out of Ravi's earnings
or did you borrow money from his friend?
Don't ask.
There was some money in Ravi's briefcase.
So we started the work with it.
Ravi was more like a brother to Chandran.
He says it is his duty now.
Isn't he a little cranky?
Look! Chandran is here.
I was just talking about you and you are here. May you live long!
Ramani! Bring a glass of tea immediately.
Chandran has arrived.
I don't have time to wait.
I have work at Palakkad and Vaikom. I have to leave now.
We'll have to pay for the wood.
The contractor has strictly said that
we can take the wood only after payment.
We'll pay him. I'll bring the money tomorrow or day after.
Chilli, 100 grams.
- Pulses, 100 grams.
Pulses, 100 grams. - Grains, 2 kilograms.
Grains, two kilograms.
Mustard, 50 grams. - Mustard, 50 grams!
Coconut oil, 200ml. - Coconut oil, 200 ml.
Half 501 bar. - Half 501 bar.
Spices, four. - Spice, four.
'Kochu Varkey and Sons. Grocery.' - Anything else? - No.
Here.
Rs. 44.50, in total.
Take it!
Sir.
I need two kilograms of rice and other provisions.
Do you have money?
I'll settle it next week when I get money.
In that case, you can take the goods after you pay.
No, sir. My son hasn't had even a drop of water to drink.
Let him starve. Serves him right for holding a protest.
It isn't a big deal even if I lose ten coconuts.
But I can't tolerate what he did to me.
If I lay off people from work
a lot of families will come to the streets.
He didn't intend to do any harm.
He very well knew the consequences.
No one in this town has dared to talk to me directly.
But he..
Please forgive us, sir.
I promise he will never go against you.
I have a girl at home, too.
I have to serve her food at least.
Please give me some groceries, sir.
This has become a nuisance now.
Are you done with work? - Yes.
Go to the bank. I will be there soon.
Hey, Yaskutty! - What?
Please give her what she needs. - Okay, sir.
From the following Monday
ask your son to come to work along with his team.
Dear Rameshan!
I had requested Kochu Varkey to give me some money.
Did he tell you anything about it? - No.
Boss will be here soon. You can ask him directly.
Haven't you left yet? - No.
I can't give you money now.
This is not some kind of charity organisation.
Pledge some asset, I'll give you money.
I'll take up employment from tomorrow.
You can ask Mr. Sunny to deduct the loan from my wages.
I have a chest pain. I need money to go to the hospital.
I swear upon my mother!
Hey, Govindan! - Yes.
I am not meeting you for the first time.
Earlier, you borrowed Rs. 25 from me
under the pretext of taking your mother
to hospital to treat her for a snake bite.
I haven't forgotten it yet.
When did this happen? I don't remember.
I know you won't.
Yes. That wasn't a snake bite, it was a dog bite.
Dog! - Govindan!
What? - Don't waste my time. Get lost.
Sure.
Anyone who hasn't paid the instalment?
A few of the workers haven't paid yet.
They will be finished with work only on Sunday.
What is their problem in repaying on time?
But they somehow manage to find money for drinks.
What's this? - A jug.
Why didn't you bring this earlier?
Why did you have to lie?
I didn't mean to..
Did you steal it from somewhere?
Not at all!
Rameshan!
Give him Rs.15.
Rs.15 is too less. Give me Rs.30.
Give him Rs. 25. - I.. What can I do?
Rameshan.
You should repay the loan in one month. - Yes.
Before the completion of 30 days, don't come asking for the jug.
No..
I won't come even if you ask me to.
Hey!
When you go home to collect lunch, give this jug there. - Sure.
He is never going to repay this loan.
Mollykutty! Ask her to bring the food.
If you want, go tell her directly.
I don't want it. It is for your dad and brother.
I am not obliged to do it.
If you don't take the food, you'll hear an earful.
Fine. Once I get food, I'll take it.
Or else, I am going to sit here.
Stay there.
The longer you stay, the more I get to see you.
Get inside the house.
I just got here.
Today is collection day. Hence, I got a little delayed.
He asked me to give this to you.
Where did you get this from?
I have been looking for this for over two hours now.
Is this yours? - Yes.
I had filled water and left it here in the morning.
Then I couldn't find it.
Where did you find this?
Why are you laughing?
This is called making the best use of an opportunity.
Govindan had pledged this jug to borrow money from boss.
Mollykutty!
Is there any brave soul
in this village?
You wretched dogs!
Is there anyone who can compete with me?
Is there any rogue who dares to fight me?
It's Govindan!
He is completely sloshed.
I'll kill you. What are you looking at?
I sense some trouble here.
I dare you to come fight me. - I'll be right back.
You scoundrels.
I don't fear anyone.
Ask Velayudhan to come here.
I'll break his bones.
Even if Kochu Varkey comes here
this Govindan won't budge.
Govindan!
Go home now if you don't want to get beaten up by people.
Get lost, you barber.
How dare you ridicule me?
Don't you dare utter a word before me.
Hey! If you are brave enough, come before me.
'Kochu Varkey and Sons. Bankers.'
Kochu Varkey might be the king of this place.
But I am the Emperor!
If you are the police, then I am the Minister.
Stop laughing.
Almost every person in this village
fears you
as you own more than half this village.
If there is any trouble
you take over their property and shut down their business.
But Govindan neither has property nor business.
What will you do then?
Stop this nonsense and go home.
I will leave now. You don't have to worry.
Tea.
Hey, Rajamma!
How much business do you do in a day?
You are drunk.
Yes, I am.
How does it bother you?
I am drunk now.
You never treat me with respect.
After all, I asked for a glass of tea
and a piece of 'Puttu'. What will you lose?
Women must be meek
and not arrogant.
Govindan, you better go home.
This is Rajamma. - I know.
I am quite clear.
Move aside!
If you are drunk, you must stay out.
I am warning you. Go and mind your business.
Don't try to scare me.
Is this a brandy shop or a tea shop?
I want to know right now.
If you have money, come and have a peg.
Yes. That's fair.
Hey, Nair! Mind your business.
Why do you interfere?
Move! - Govindan, I am trying to be patient.
Go away from here.
I can't leave just like that.
Leave that. If required, I'll fight.
You dog!
I'll severe your hands and legs. Get out of here. Get lost.
She pushed me.
It's only because I have no one to stand up for me.
She hit me.
Now I know why your groom deserted you after getting you pregnant.
I've never gone to anyone asking for help.
This indecent woman
was responsible for her dad's death.
Get lost, dog.
Yes. I am an indecent woman.
What have you got to lose? I am not looking for any help.
Mind your tongue. - You are not
the police to control me. Nor are you a magistrate!
Mind your tongue.
If you don't wish to get slapped, leave immediately.
You.. - Stop talking, you rogue.
I would blame it on the natives.
There is not a man here to tame her.
If anyone had been man enough to put her in place
she wouldn't be so arrogant.
Look! A valorous man has come to tame me.
Just don't bother. Don't waste your time talking to her.
She has no control over her tongue.
I will have a brandy.
The valorous man is here. - Who said so?
Rajamma said so.
She is no ordinary woman!
He would be hiding in shame right now.
You cannot mess with that woman.
Sunny has miserably failed trying to control her.
Even his dad, Kochu Varkey, failed at it.
Then how can a new man put her in place?
Just by sporting a moustache, one does not become a man.
One has to be brave to call himself a man.
I am brave and I can prove it to you.
Drop the knife.
If you are brave enough, come forward. I am talking to you.
Don't enter my house.
Drop the knife.
If you come in, I'll slaughter you.
Don't come near me.
I am telling you, don't come in. I'll kill you.
When a man raises his hand, you'll fall in no time.
Don't try to act smart with me.
Come on.
He is indeed a brave man.
Of course! He hails from the North.
They say he is a spiritual seeker and is well versed with magic.
Who told you all that?
Don't ramble as you please.
Spiritual seeker! My foot!
Is he strong enough to fight me?
Velayudhan!
A spiritual seeker doesn't need all that.
Only a weak man does.
These are just excuses.
She is no less a woman.
She is capable of slaughtering a man.
Yet he managed to escape without a bruise.
Is it possible for a spiritual seeker?
Did you see it?
No, I didn't.
Then don't talk till you see it, idiot.
Don't cook up stories.
What just happened?
Why is he overreacting now?
We don't get to see everything in this world.
No one has seen God. Yet we believe in God.
What do you say, Mr. Sunny?
Couldn't you be careful?
Look! I've got a bruise.
Little blood, too!
Scoundrel!
He will die of a snake bite.
Wait and see!
A snake will attack his feet!
It is over now. Have dinner and go to sleep.
In all these years
no one has dared to come near me.
They treat me like an untouchable.
Not a soul came to inquire.
Like people had all the time to think about it.
Who is it? - It's me.
What do you want?
All of you take pride in being a man.
Yet when a stranger misbehaved with me
not one of you came forward to protect me.
Only now you realize there are men in this village.
Earlier, you ignored all of us and went ahead with your groom.
Forget the past!
When you hit the ground
only this Velayudhan will come to help you.
Please understand.
All along, time was in his favour.
Not anymore.
I promise.
I am waiting for your word. Do you want me to kill him?
Or will it be enough if I threaten him?
He slapped me. I want his hands chopped off.
If you do it
I'll pay you a good price.
I don't need your money.
Neither is it unusual to find a corpse in a sand lorry
nor do I fear it.
Very soon, you'll get to see him die.
I'll come that day.
You'll have to co-operate with me.
He knew someone was there. I am sure.
But he didn't recognise me.
Anyway, this was unnecessary.
This will become a problem now.
Why didn't you tell me that you had this planned?
Rajamma asked me not to tell anyone. - Yes..
You assumed you can fight him all alone, didn't you?
Wait till he returns.
No, I am not scared.
I wonder if this will become a police case now.
It's fine if he dies.
I'll be forced to say a lot of things then.
Like you have committed a lot of murders.
Chandran is here! Get inside the shop.
What if he comes there?
Even if he does, I will handle him.
This isn't the time to show your prowess. Go and hide.
What happened to your arm?
An ant bit me.
Ant? - Yes, an ant.
Kunjappan!
Do you know where Velayudhan is?
He is right here.
What happened, Chandran? - Please come here.
What is the matter? - Come with me.
Is there a problem between us?
Nothing at all.
Are you sure? - Yes.
What do you get from taking up such tasks?
Few pennies?
That's all you can do.
Using a knife
is an art.
First, you must know how to use a knife.
Then you must posses the skill to handle it.
I'll show it to you.
For me, sky is the roof and ground is home.
Also I don't know for how long I'll be alive on Earth.
I wish everyone realizes this.
Smart fellow!
Do you like the house?
They are not working today, right?
No.
I am unable to control the expenses.
But it's fine. We'll start again tomorrow.
Where is your mother? - She has gone to the shop.
Give this to her when she returns.
Inform her that the load will arrive day after tomorrow.
Wait. I'll bring you some tea.
I don't want.
Chandran.
Can I ask you something?
Why did you hurt Rajamma?
Oh! You heard about it, too? That woman..
To be very honest, she is innocent.
Her tough nature and attitude makes her look arrogant.
Just like you!
I clearly remember.
Earlier, she used to smile and be happy.
She was a darling daughter to her father.
Her dad would fulfil all her desires.
Even when her dad knew that
she was in love with someone from another caste
he agreed to get her married to him.
The groom promised to marry her
as soon he returned from his trip.
But he never returned. - Didn't they inquire about him?
They did.
He said he hailed from Patambi. But he lied to her.
What's the point in blaming him?
Rajamma had committed a mistake.
The day her dad realized that she was pregnant, he left this village.
No one knows if he is dead or alive.
Whatever it is, she killed her own child.
People spread rumours as they please.
The baby was still born.
Earlier, Rajamma's sister owned
the place in which her shop is located.
Kochu Varkey lent her money every now and then..
and took hold of the property.
So please don't trouble her anymore.
I won't interfere in anyone's business.
But she needs to mind her tongue.
A woman should learn to be meek.
Or else, she will continue to face problems.
He will come back to take revenge for sure.
Right.. Let him come here.
I'll teach him a lesson.
Wait and watch!
If he ever dares to raise his hand on me
I will splash boiling water
on his face.
Excuse me!
Oh! Look who is here.
Don't you dare step inside my shop.
My dear! I made a small mistake.
After I got drunk
I spoke ill about you. But I didn't do it intentionally.
You want to sleep with me, is it?
Not even in my wildest dreams, have I had such thoughts.
You are like a mother to me.
You have known me for years.
Have I ever misbehaved with you?
Rajamma.
Rajamma..
I've got you something.
Here's the fish you asked for.
I don't want it. - Please don't refuse.
Please cook this. - Then you must serve me
a little food in the afternoon.
I won't leave until you serve me food.
Here! I am bringing it.
He is indeed Kochukuttan's son.
Just like his father, he is good
at flattering people.
Lord Guruvayurappa!
'An astrologer had predicted'
'that I will construct a house'
'when I turn 28.'
Dear, you shouldn't be crying at this auspicious hour.
Even if you cry non-stop
your deceased husband isn't going to return.
Dear, can you please bring the chopped vegetables?
At least today, I wish to cook and serve him food.
This girl is still ignorant about all this.
From today on, please come home to eat.
I'll cook meat and rice for you.
Should I serve you some more? - No.
You shouldn't be asking. Just serve him food.
Only if a man is around, do women feel like cooking and serving.
I'll clear it. Leave it there.
Ramani! Please spread a mat there.
Once you eat, you'll have to sleep for some time.
No. I have to go.
Earlier, we couldn't afford it.
But we have a comfortable life now.
It's cold. You don't have to sleep in your lorry anymore.
I'll arrange a cot for you here.
I can never sleep like that.
Also I might have to go back to my town soon. - When?
I want to leave immediately.
But I have taken a loan here. I can leave only after I repay it.
I may not be able to come before I leave. I am not sure of my plans.
Did you hear him? He will leave anytime soon.
Yes. He must go back.
Who do you think will take care of you in the future?
In general, a woman should be wise.
But in your case, you spend all your time crying.
No. You don't have to get the knife.
When you hire henchmen
make sure you find a smart one.
But if you engage any random person
I am sure he'll end up getting beaten up.
I didn't send anyone. - Don't. I know everything.
Then don't keep cursing whenever I take this route.
You must stop it.
Until now, I have just threatened you.
Next time, I'll break your teeth. Be careful.
Looks like you have acquired the qualities of a woman.
Tears!
Don't use this incident to challenge me again by sending men.
Today or tomorrow, I'll leave this town.
But they wouldn't leave you even if you ask them to.
Try to lead a good life.
What do you want? - Give me 100ml of coconut oil.
Janamma. - Yes.
How are you managing the expenses now?
I am somehow managing it.
Janamma has built a new house.
She has nothing to lose.
Even if she has lost her son-in-law
she has found someone to take care of her family.
Sir, don't talk as you please.
Am I saying unnecessary things?
Right!
Sugar, half a kg. - Sugar, half a kg.
Coriander, 200 grams. - Coriander, 200 grams.
Cumin, 50 grams. - Cumin, 50 grams.
Coconut oil, 100 ml! - Coconut oil, 100 ml.
The natives are unreasonable.
Few of them expected us to come on the street.
What happened? - Nothing. Take it inside.
Are you having any kind of pain?
No.
Why do you look so tired then?
Oh, dear God!
There should be no trouble during her delivery.
Both mother and child should be safe. Bless us.
Come on.
Sunny.
Do you think Rajamma will agree, Sunny?
I don't think so. Let's go to the river side instead.
Don't worry. I am giving you my word.
Rajamma won't go against my word.
Come with me.
Rajamma..
Oh! She must be fast asleep.
Rajamma!
What do you want? - Open the door.
Pappachan has brought her from town.
He wanted a place to spend time with her.
She will leave tomorrow, early morning.
Please get in.
Where are you going?
Don't block the way.
Go and make the arrangements.
This isn't a community hall or a brothel.
Take them to your house.
Rajamma, we'll stay in your veranda.
No one will know.
Mr. Sunny, your house is huge and has a lot of rooms.
Why don't you take her there?
Don't talk too much! Sunny owns this property.
We will do as we please. Come in.
If you are brave enough, try stepping inside.
I won't spare any of you.
Sunny, let's go.
Come on!
Hey! It is only because of our mercy, you are still living here.
Be careful. - Yes! Don't think you can take me for a ride.
I am aware of everything.
I know your true colours. Go and mind your business.
What happened now? What were you saying?
I must slap you for giving me this idea.
Useless! - Hey!
When you were in trouble, I had come to help you.
But now you humiliated me in front of others.
Beware! - I will. Hey!
Sister. - If you don't wish to die, get lost.
Sister..
Don't argue. Come here. - Get lost.
Sister. - Leave me.
How dare that scoundrel come here? Dog!
People like him shouldn't be alive.
Dog! He cheats on his wife and spends time with cheap women.
You.. - Get lost! - Hey!
I will kill you! - Sister!
Hey! Don't do all that. Come on.
Let go! - Come with me. - Hey!
I dare you to come inside. - Sister, come with me.
You rogue! How dare you? - Let go! Just come.
Let me go! - Stop it. Listen to me.
If I let him go now
this will never be solved. - Let me go.
How dare he come here at this time? - Stop!
Let me go! - Stop it.
Chandran, you don't have to interfere in this.
I don't wish to interfere.
Drop that stone.
It's wrong to trouble a woman, Velayudhan.
Isn't it, Mr. Sunny?
Don't think you're great.
You used her to prove your manhood!
Like him, I didn't hide behind a tree and throw stones at her.
I slapped her when she had a knife in her hand.
You can ask her.
Also, I didn't come here stealthily like you.
Mr. Sunny, please leave. That's ideal for you right now.
Come on! - Go.
Let's go!
What happened?
Do you agree with me now?
Enjoy!
Didn't I warn you earlier?
Yes. Hey, kid!
Your sister was not raised properly.
That's why you are facing trouble now. Take care.
Don't use this incident to challenge me again by sending men.
Today or tomorrow, I'll leave this town.
But they wouldn't leave you even if you ask them to.
Try to lead a good life.
Rameshan!
Hey, Rameshan!
Are you still awake, Sister?
Hey!
Where is that man from?
Whom are you referring to?
That man. Chandran!
I don't know all that.
He will be leaving this town soon.
I wonder what's wrong with this place.
In fact, he can find a good job here.
The pay is good, too.
Let him go, if he wants.
How does it bother us?
Nothing happened.
Apart from boss, I informed Devassy, too.
Have you seen Chandran somewhere?
He is there.
Take this load there! - Take it!
Chandran!
It's been so long since you came home.
Even if Ravi is no more
I thought God was gracious enough to grant me another son.
What mistake have we done?
Tell me what you want.
We don't have anyone.
She is doing all this to get money from Chandran.
Stop crying and tell me what you want. Do you want money?
Yes, I want money.
Everyday my daughter cooks food for you. But you don't turn up.
Hey, Kumaran!
What news?
Nothing special.
Hey, Shantha!
Don't you recognise me?
I thought you didn't recognize us anymore.
Right! - Take this and get going.
Dear! Please come home for dinner.
Chandran, do you know Janamma well?
Well. Nobody wishes to get to know her.
Inside!
What timing!
I am betting five rupees, for inside.
I am betting five rupees, for outside.
Add five rupees more for outside.
Aren't you playing?
No! - Do you fear losing money?
No. Why should I fear?
I have played a lot of games and lost a few, too.
But if I have to leave this town, I need some money.
I won't save a penny, if I play now.
Have you lost interest in our town already?
No.. But I have to leave.
Someone has come to meet you. - Who is it?
I don't know. He is waiting at our shop.
Who is it, Chandran? Is it a female?
He is waiting here.
Rajamma, here's the money for tea.
After your dad, is it your turn now?
I will definitely come there.
After I come, I'll sell my vehicle and settle your loan.
I am not here to ask for money.
My dad is no more.
Last Friday.
He was resting after lunch.
Suddenly, he had a heart attack.
He died before we could reach the hospital.
Why didn't you inform me?
We couldn't.
Here are the vehicle documents.
I'll take it later, after I settle the money.
Pay it when you can.
Before he died, dad had just one thing to say.
He asked me to return these documents to you.
He was very fond of you.
I'll leave.
Who died?
Are you crying?
Where are you going?
Please come fast. Ramani's water broke.
What?
Don't you understand? - How will I know all this?
She has gone in to labour.
Okay. What do I have to do about it?
The midwives have tried their best.
But they couldn't do it.
We'll have to take her to the hospital.
I can't come now.
What? You can't come?
Who will take us then?
This is not a game. Do you understand?
Please start the vehicle immediately.
Otherwise, she'll die anytime.
What a nuisance! Get in!
Don't you have any sense? Drop the firewood.
Lord Guruvayurappa! Chandran hasn't come yet.
I hope there are no complications.
Chandran is coming. Please bring her.
Careful, dear.
Dear Chandran! Stop for a minute.
I forgot to lock the chicken coop. Dogs and cats might eat them up.
Oh, dear God!
Please bless my daughter. Let her have a safe delivery.
Calm down, Janamma. She will be fine.
Is there any complication?
Our job is not to complicate things.
Go and buy these medicines.
Do you want it immediately? - Yes. What's the problem?
It's late at night. Where will I find these now?
How do I know? Bring it as soon as you can.
What a grumpy nurse!
Hey..
What is your problem? Nuisance!
What kind of a person are you?
A girl is fighting for her life there.
And you are happily sleeping here.
What do I do? Should I come to guard the place?
Not required. Take this.
Go and get these medicines as fast as you can.
At this time of the night? Where will I get them?
I don't know. You must search for it.
I won't go. Go tell them that you didn't get these medicines.
Hey!
If something happens to her, then..
Damn! These people have become such a pain now.
I should have just stopped giving money.
I shouldn't have cared for the family and constructed that house.
Would you have lived peacefully if you wouldn't have done that?
Give it!
I've understood something clearly.
Only by appearance, you look tough.
But you are tender at heart.
You have a golden heart.
Hey! Which room is Ramani in?
Which Ramani?
She was admitted last night. They asked me to buy medicines.
Oh, the labour case? It's done.
Don't worry. She meant the delivery is over.
There was no complication.
Here's the medicines you asked for. - We don't need this anymore.
Where did you get this from? - I made them open a shop.
You are a smart guy!
She has delivered a girl child.
We'll have a daughter!
I checked with the basil plant.
Ravi was sure that he'll have a girl child.
Don't you want to see the baby?
No! - Then..
I am going to take the first bus out of here.
My brother is handling the shop all alone.
I will take Janamma with me.
The chickens are her life.
Also she has to bring food and clothes.
You will have to stay here until she returns. - Me?
Yes. There's no one else here.
Did you hear? Ravi's wife delivered a baby girl.
Who? The Ravi who died recently?
What's special about that? It's a common thing.
It is common. But I am talking about the resemblance.
Get lost! Stop lying.
I haven't seen her yet.
Ammini and Shankaran's daughter went to visit them.
They told me so.
I also heard that Chandran is with them right now.
Don't keep spreading rumours like this.
It's been only about two or three months
since he came here.
They say he used to visit every now and then before Ravi died.
I am not saying all this.
I am just saying what I heard.
Otherwise, I don't know anything.
I don't believe it. The old lady is kind of smart.
But her daughter is very innocent.
Don't judge a book by its cover, Kunjappan.
Your instalment?
Inform boss that I'll pay the rest next month.
You tell him directly.
Hey! When you go home
inform her that I'll be late. - Fine.
I sense something fishy about him.
If you don't give way, I'll have to run the cycle over you.
Oh! I didn't know it was you.
I thought it was Gopi.
That boy gives me sly looks.
But why don't you give way?
Not everyone is like me.
How can he mess with me?
If I inform my dad, both he and his cycle will
be done for good.
Mollykutty has all the influence and resources.
Where did you go?
I went to town to pay my fees.
Give me a glass of tea.
Rajamma! - Yes!
Did Chandran come here?
He came in the morning.
Now he has gone to deliver the supplies.
For over three hours, I have been waiting for him.
He shouldn't cheat people like this.
What happened?
Ever since he left from there, he hasn't come to visit us.
Moreover, he hasn't given a penny since then.
How do we manage?
Your daughter has delivered a child.
What has he got to do with it?
This has indeed become a nuisance now.
He is not related to you. Why should he bear your burden?
What is your problem?
Since when did you start talking like other people?
I don't have any problem with it.
But you should also be reasonable.
You cannot take undue advantage of him.
You should realize your limits.
How are you going to answer these people?
Why should I answer them?
If matters get worse, we'll admit to their accusations.
That's all right.
That's our problem. We'll handle it.
This is none of your concern.
Janamma is very smart.
Madhavan, an elephant mascot, had come here for a temple festival.
Later, he settled for her
leaving behind his elephant and festival.
In fact, even Janamma's daughter fell in love with Ravi.
Janamma and her daughter are quite skilled at it.
This man is not an easy target.
Did you give it a try, Rajamma?
Hey, Rajamma!
Are you standing all alone and day dreaming?
Where are you coming from?
I went for a temple festival.
Are you mad sitting and laughing all by yourself?
Yes. It's a kind of madness.
I have a small desire
to clad a good sari and walk beside my husband.
I dream about going to a temple festival
exchanging happy conversations with him.
I..
Will you take me to a temple festival?
Yes, your fraud groom will come to take you.
He will never come.
Even if he does, I will throw him out.
Cheat!
You don't know anything.
You always blame the girl.
Nobody blames the guy who cheated the girl.
I feel like killing everyone.
Laugh!
That's all you can do.
I have lost my dignity and a good life.
My family is ruined.
Everyone mocks me.
Yet I found the courage to live among them.
Though it would have tarnished my reputation
I wish my child was alive.
I wish God had granted me that boon.
But he didn't.
It's fine.
Are you leaving?
Excellent!
Looks very nice.
For over half an hour, you have been looking at the mirror.
Get lost!
I feel that you have something on your mind!
I have been observing this change for quite some time now.
You seem very docile
and unusually quiet.
What's the matter?
I am planning
to get married.
To whom?
A calf! - What?
You don't have to take it off.
It looks beautiful.
Are you here for tea? But it's over.
But I can make some for you. - No.
I'll have it from the market.
I came here to tell you something.
Ramani will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.
Are you coming?
In the lorry?
The lorry is in the shed. We have to take the bus.
If so, I am not coming.
No.
If I come..
Actually, it is better if I don't come.
Even I don't want to go. But I have no choice.
Please wait.
Can I ask you something?
Do you like that old lady?
Why do you ask?
Just generally.
I don't have any special regards for her.
What about Ramani?
Do you want to get an earful from me?
Stop asking such silly questions.
Sister!
A calf? - No.
A buffalo!
Wow!
Kunjappan! - Yes!
It's a wonderful sight. Come out.
Kunjappan! No doubts at all.
Whatever we heard is true.
He has to bear the brunt now!
Give it to me. You don't have to come with us.
Did you hear what they said?
People will say a lot of things. You can't pay heed to all.
Ignore it. They'll keep doing this. You come.
I'll come now. Keep walking.
He is coming this way.
Velayudhan!
I said all this only because you are by my side.
Kunjappan!
What happened?
There's one more scene.
Wait and watch!
If anyone has any questions, you may ask me now.
Don't come stealthily in the middle of the night.
I'll leave.
Rajamma.
It's been so long since I saw you.
There's no one to take care of the shop.
She looks fresh after her shower.
My darling looks adorable with this 'Bindi'.
Don't cry, darling.
Don't cry, my dear.
Look what I got for you.
Black bangles for prosperity.
This wasn't necessary, Rajamma.
This is for my darling! Right?
My adorable little one!
Let's put it on right away.
Now the other hand.
Yes.
Didn't he come here? - Whom are you talking about?
Chandran?
He had come.
I am sure he has had enough with us.
Poor thing.
The natives are already talking ill about us.
Why do you think the natives are talking like that?
Your mother is portraying it that way.
What did I do?
Few women, when they spot a handsome man
will try to seduce and trap them.
But your wish won't come true.
I don't wish to talk to you.
You have come to my house. How can you not talk to me?
I know you seduce all the men who come to this place.
So don't act smart with me. - Hey, old lady!
Don't talk as you please. I won't keep quiet.
What will you do?
Can't you stay quiet, mother? - Hey!
Why did you let her hold my grandchild?
She will kill this little one.
She's a beast. - Mom!
Look! My grandchild looks weak now. - Rajamma.
What happened, dear? It's fine, darling.
As a human, you are expected
to have a little sense of gratitude.
She is the only relative you have left.
Even if you die, only she will come.
If she goes, we have nothing to lose.
What do you know about her?
I know that she is far better than many others. Here.
Did you hear him? Earlier, they were sworn enemies.
Look at them now.
This is what smart girls can do.
You are a hopeless girl.
It is my bad luck that you were born to me.
Who needs her gifts!
Let her come here again. I won't spare her.
How dare she accuse me?
That old lady will definitely come to see me.
That day, I'll spit on her face.
Oh, the brooding and weeping!
Did any of your relatives die for you to mourn like this?
First of all, why did you go there?
I didn't go there with the intention of meeting anyone.
Nor did I intend to trap anyone.
I went to see that baby.
I have a soft corner
for babies.
Get back to being your old self.
These tears and emotions don't suit you.
But he has completely changed me.
Who?
You!
Did I?
I am a woman.
I wish to abide by a man's orders
take his beatings
and serve him food.
When you go back to your town
can you take me with you?
You are going back to square one.
Falling in love. But I don't like this thing called love.
With me too? - Are you that great?
Aren't you asleep yet?
It's almost time for you to return to your town.
What's troubling you now?
Nothing.
When are you going back?
In about a week's time.
Don't extend your stay any longer.
Didn't I warn you? The longer you stay
the more you will be in trouble.
Look at me.
I have a sister staying in Wayanad.
She comes every now and then and asks me to go with her.
There is no one in her house.
My brother-in-law is in the army.
Still I don't feel like going there.
Even if I die, no one here is going to care about it.
Don't you have wife and children?
How does it matter now?
I thought I would be young forever.
Even if they were here, I am not sure if they would take care of me.
In case I had a family, once I die
just to let the natives know
they would definitely have me buried and perform my last rites.
Whereas now
I'll have to wait for the municipality people
to arrive from town and bury me.
They even take their own sweet time to come.
Go to sleep.
When I think about all this, I lose my sleep.
Ma'am..
Ma'am.
Ma'am!
Where did she go?
Ma'am!
Mollykutty.
Mollykutty!
Poor thing! I scared you.
I didn't get scared.
Where is your sister-in-law?
Everyone has gone to Church.
I have left the meat here. I'll leave.
Stay here for some more time.
Mollykutty!
You dog!
Stop there. Stop!
Stop there!
Rameshan!
Why are you running?
Hey! I am asking you. Why are you running?
Rameshan!
Come here!
I'll kill you. - What happened?
Go inside.
I did warn you before, Father-in-law.
I told you not to entertain boys at home.
Go away!
Rameshan.
Rameshan!
Are you not going to eat?
What happened, dear?
Nothing.
Why aren't you talking then?
I won't go to work anymore.
What happened?
Nothing. I don't like working there.
She is responsible for all this confusion.
What can I do?
Who asked you to leave her alone?
Couldn't you take her along with you?
Oh! The blame is on me now.
She said she does not want to come. How can I force her?
She is a grown up.
All of us have to be careful.
How dare you say so? - Hey!
Didn't you hear her preach?
What's the point in arguing with her?
She is right!
You don't have anytime to care about home.
I have business to manage.
I am extremely busy.
As if your presence is always needed there.
What work do you have at night?
Are you delivering the supply?
I am aware of everything.
The elders set example for the youngsters.
You don't have to talk, Dad.
Even I am aware of a few things.
So don't try to demean me.
Let's focus on this problem now.
There's nothing more we can do.
We'll have to get her married soon.
Instead, if you are going to create more trouble
everyone will get to know about it.
What did you say?
Did you just ask us to set him free?
In that case, this Sunny isn't Mempully Kochu Varkey's son.
What about our girl's future then?
There is no problem with her future.
People must realize that it is indeed risky
to mess with Mempully Kochu Varkey's daughter.
You make sure he realizes that.
Do you get the point? - Yes.
Then go to your room and sleep.
Come on.
Kunjappan. Give me your instalment.
What happened to Rameshan?
Hit him!
Don't keep standing. Go and stop them.
Don't do it.
Velayudhan!
Don't keep watching. Someone please stop him.
Velayudhan!
Let him go! Leave! Let him go!
Velayudhan! Don't hit that boy.
Listen to me! Velayudhan!
Move out of the way!
Move away! Don't interfere in this.
Why are you hitting this boy?
Who are you to ask?
I know I can't ask. But I can't bear to see this.
Whatever it is, I'll settle it for you.
Tell me what it is. - I don't have to explain.
In that case, I won't let you touch him anymore.
Velayudhan! Go and hit him.
Move aside.
How could you all stand here and do nothing.
Let me go! He attacked me and my son.
Not one person came forward to stop him.
There's not one faithful dog in this village.
If there are any faithful dogs in this group, please come forward.
No one? I am all alone.
If you are brave enough, come forward.
Mind you! I will die only after settling scores with my enemy.
Remember that!
Move away.
Slowly!
Father-in-law, where is Sunny? I can't find him.
He'll be back soon. He has gone on an errand.
Do you still have to engage in fights?
Let's just leave things as it is.
I will not let go of anything!
Until now, not one soul has dared to speak before me.
Whereas, he.. - But it is our girl's life.
Once she earns an ill reputation, then there is no point in living.
My foot!
This Mempully Kochu Varkey has enough wealth.
So bad reputation isn't a problem. Go do your work!
She has come all the way to preach.
Didn't he kick you here?
Right in the middle of the market, he hit me and my son.
But you were..
I tried my best. - Shut up!
You tried, is it?
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
You go and..
Boss, don't underestimate my capability.
You'll soon find a corpse at the shore.
Right!
That will be your body.
Boss!
What is it? - I closed the shop.
Rajamma is screaming there.
Oh! I have gone deaf.
She is abusing you and your daughter.
It's an insult.
Everyone is laughing there.
Boss!
I am just waiting for your word.
I'll burn her alive.
I'll find other men to do it.
Don't you know them?
He is the most wanted criminal, Kalipuzha Kunjalo.
He was associated in the Rawther murder case.
He is Chuyali Paramu.
The other one is quite new.
Anyway, entertainment is guaranteed.
I am sure something is going to happen today.
Let it happen.
We need such kind of entertainment.
He should control his daughter.
Or else, he should find a suitable match for her.
I have strived
to raise my brother.
They are just small children. - Why don't they see it that way?
Why do they have to hurt my brother?
If that man had not come at the right time
they would have killed my brother. - Rajamma!
Rajamma!
What is it, Kunjappan?
Rajamma, is Chandran here?
No.
Kalipuzha Kunjalo and Paramu are here.
It's safe for us to leave the place now.
Who is this Kunjalo?
He is the one who murdered Rawther.
That was his seventh murder.
They are here to kill Chandran.
If you find Chandran, inform him. I'll look for him, too.
Oh, dear God!
Come.
He built this house for them.
God is punishing him.
Let him bear the consequences.
I knew all this would happen
when he fell for that wretched woman.
We can't even find him these days.
Who wants him here anyway?
Get up! Let's go inside.
Get in.
He is not here.
Come. Let's go.
Sister! Let's leave this village.
Where to? - We'll go somewhere.
Or else, they'll kill us.
If that's what they want, let them kill us.
I wish to die here.
Is it Chandran? - No.
If I had the chance to meet him
I could have warned him about all this.
Who is it? - I don't see anyone here.
Sister! - Stop!
I should kill at least one of them before I die.
Sister!
What happened?
Leave immediately.
Go somewhere. - But why?
They have brought goons from town.
So what? Let them bring anyone they want.
Are you scared of death?
I am not scared.
But..
I am worried for you. - Worried for me?
All of us have to die someday.
I wish it was sooner.
Just not brutal.
Forget that.
Do you agree to come with me?
Why do you look so shocked?
I am leaving tomorrow. If you are interested, you can join me.
Will you come with me?
I heard there's a festival at the Shiva temple on the adjacent shore.
I'll have to fulfil your request.
If you are coming with me
then you can't be arrogant.
You'll have to be docile and focus on running the family.
Sister..
Sister!
Let's go!
Hey!
I'll come.
Chandran!
Will you bring her back after the post mortem?
No. Even if I bring her back, I can't bury her here.
There's a municipal burial ground in town.
No. I own a piece of land.
