"When I saw you, this thought came to my mind."
"When I saw you.."
Oh, no! What is it? - What are you doing here?
This place looks promising! Look at that girl.
There is one over there and one downstairs as well.
I'll have a great time here! - You'd get us beaten up!
Our last landlord kicked us out because of your games!
You're going to mess everything up!
What do I do when girls flirt with me?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction!
Yes. That's exactly why that girl's brother grabbed you by the collar.
He'd have beaten you up if it wasn't for me. - Oh.
He wouldn't have even laid a finger on me.
I've escaped from plenty of situations like that one.
Yeah, right! - There is no point in envying me!
You don't have the knack for it and you aren't fortunate. - Whatever!
The likes of Amritha Kumari, Asha Cherian
Seenath and Sunanda could come here any day looking for you.
No one would come here, buddy.
I've closed the books on them for good.
Good morning. It's Moosaka.
To be honest, I was waiting for some good company.
There are aged people here but
they don't interest me.
But I am really happy when I have the company of youngsters like you.
Give him a cup of tea. - I won't make tea again.
It's all right. - Here. Have this.
Let me know if you need anything. I'll help you.
How long have you been working here as the watchman?
Watchman? I'm not the watchman. I'm the caretaker.
I see. You're the caretaker. By the way, Moosaka
who has the majority here?
Nair community forms the majority here. There are other castes too.
Not that. The majority.. - Majority! - Yes.
I can't really say. The supporters
of Congress and Communist parties are almost equal.
Not that. In every house.. - He is asking about the number of men
and women in the nearby houses. - I see. It's women.
Didn't I tell you?
Who is living in 19'C'?
A woman and her daughter. - It's none of our business.
Shouldn't we know who our neighbours are? - Of course.
What does her husband do for a living? - He works in Kuwait.
I see. - He comes here once in two years.
What is that girl's name? - Soumya. - Soumya! Beautiful name!
She is really smart. She catches everyone's attention.
She is really playful.
Which college is she studying in? - College?
She isn't that old!
She goes to a nursery. - Nursery? - She is only five years old!
Leave it. - A dress has been put out to dry
outside 21'A'. Who lives there? - What?
"Did the seven vivid colours emerge on the horizon?"
"Did the immortal tune embrace the lonesome string?"

"Was it the heaven or the vibrant ray of light"

"Did the celestial nymph leave heaven for us?"
Hey.
'Alcohol consumption is injurious to health.'
What happened? - Moosaka.
Why did you turn off the TV when I came in?
You wouldn't want to watch it.
Do you think I'm past that age? - Not that.
We should respect your age, shouldn't we?
Not really. If we watch it together, you'd benefit from it.
You are young and so
I can clear your doubts, if you have any.
We don't want anyone to clear our doubts.
It's time to get drunk.
Why are there only three glasses? Who isn't drinking?
Moosaka.. - Won't you feel bad if I don't drink with you tonight?
Bring another glass.
Let me tell you something before we start.
You should play the cassette after every shot. - Look at him!
Leave it. Did you forget what we discussed in the morning?
What? - You haven't introduced us to any of our neighbours yet.
May I come in, please? - Allah! That old josser is here!
He'd drink plenty if he gets it for free!
I'm sorry. Am I bothering you? - No. - No.
Please sit, sir. - Thank you. I'm Unnithan.
Retired professor of English. - Okay. - I live in 7'B'.
I came here to get acquainted with you. - Sure.
What are you kids doing? - There are no kids here!
We're bachelors.
I referred to you as kids.
What are you doing?
We're about to drink some brandy. - I see.
Would you like to join us? - Oh, God! No.. - He only drinks
the expensive stuff!
Why are you here? What are you doing?
I was helping them.. - Let him be. It's all right.
What are your names?
I'm Unni. Vinod, Bony and he is Moosaka. - Okay.
Do you kids know that apartments are actually a concrete jungle?
We are animals who have a tough time living there.
We wouldn't know our neighbours.
We wouldn't care about what they are going through.
When I saw friendly youngsters like you
I feel as if my monotony just faded away.
Let's bare our souls.
H-Hey.. Give it to him. - Come on.
Thank you. Don't let Vasundhara know about this.
She'd come to know about it anyway.
He'll start reciting poetry after taking just one drink. - Really?
Do you recite poetry?
Not really.. - That's a lie. - Come on.
Have it.
"You shouldn't drink your mother's milk, dear."
"You shouldn't lie on your's mother's lap."
"Don't let her carry you."
"You shouldn't earn for her to look at you."
"You shouldn't look at the beauty of the flower."
"It's poison everywhere."
"You should neither laugh nor play."
"You shouldn't drink your mother's milk, dear."
"You shouldn't drink your mother's milk, dear!"
"You shouldn't lie on your's mother's lap!"
"You shouldn't drink your mother's milk, dear!"
"You shouldn't lie on your's mother's lap!"
"It's euphoric.."
"This arrack is euphoric and we're on cloud nine."
"Arrack.."
"This heavenly drink is made of jaggery, coconut water and so on.."
"This heavenly drink is made of jaggery, coconut water"
"and so on.." - Mr. Ananda Padmanaban has come.
Ananda Padmanaban? Who is he? - I've no idea!
He lives next door.
He is an IAS trainee.
He would soon become a collector.
What should we do about it?
He won't be happy about this fuss. He is a strict person.
We cannot stop drinking because of that.
Also, we cannot stay mum after drinking.
That would be a disturbance for him.
That would create a disturbance to Mr. Ananda Padmanaban.
So let's sing softly. - Okay.
"It's euphoric.."
"This arrack is euphoric and we're on cloud nine."
"Arrack.."
"This heavenly drink is made of jaggery, coconut water and so on.."
"With the banana and mango shell.."
Excuse me.
Do you really want to disturb others?
If you can sing a bit softly
your next-door neighbours can sleep peacefully.
We didn't ask anyone to stay awake.
Did we? - No.
Please behave decently.
After drinking alcohol, we don't behave in a decent manner.
Please excuse us.
"With the banana, mango and lemon shell.."
"Has been used to prepare this arrack."
"Arrack.."
Vasundhara.
Oh, dear Vasundhara.
Why does your riveting and charmingly beautiful face
look so dull? Oh, my dear?
Where was the party today?
Yesterday, it was at your late colleague's rituals.
The day before, it was your student's wedding anniversary.
You won't get peace of mind without drinking, will you?
I went to meet our new neighbours.
Three highly qualified youngsters.
They are so loving and polite.
Let me tell you something.
You shouldn't maintain any friendship with them.
The three of them are bachelors.
They would start coming here
because of your friendship.
The three of them come from good families.
Then.. - Don't explain.
Don't forget that you have a grown-up daughter in this house.
Yes, I remember it.
How can I approach them with a proposal on the first day itself?
Let's wait for the right time.
Please serve me food.
Excuse me.
What?
Last night, we were a bit high.
I think the liquor was not genuine. We got high very fast.
We talked all kinds of rubbish. We're extremely sorry.
We got carried away with Mr. Unnithan's poetry.
Everyone became crazy.
I am not against your drinking or singing.
But one thing.
Keep in mind that there are people staying nearby.
We won't repeat it. Sorry.
It's okay. - Sir.
Sorry, sir.
Neighbours should always have mutual understanding.
I mean.. - It's all right. - Thank you very much.
Sir.
We behaved badly without thinking about your dignity.
Sorry. - It's okay.
We are youngsters, right? I hope you understand.
It's all right.
Were you praying? Please carry on.
You are Ananda Padmanaban, isn't it? Moosaka told us.
Sir.
Yesterday night, it was bedlam with songs and alcohol..
So I got involved in it, too. - Get lost!
When I try to tell him the truth, he is asking me to get out.
Whose dog is this?
It might belong to someone from the next flat.
It's a good one. It reminds me of Unnikrishnan.
Let it go. Somebody would come in search of it.
Of course. Someone beautiful should come in search of him.
Let it be here until then. - Okay.
Let's keep it here.
Go inside.
Ashey.
Where is my Ashey? - Ashey?
Ashey, our dog.
No dogs came here.
I saw it coming here.
Where is the dog, man?
Look at him giggling. I didn't giggle.
No, he didn't.
Where is my Ashey? - Ashey didn't come here.
Yes, it's here. You have hidden him.
It's not here. - I will call my sister if you don't give it to us.
Then.. - Then, that's the right thing to do.
Let her sister come here, isn't it? - Yes.
Let's go.
Her sister would come here. How is my idea? - Great.
Come, let's freshen up. - Okay.
They wouldn't have seen it.
We saw the dog going inside their flat.
They have hidden him.
You have to come with us. Only then will they return it.
Please..
Neethu says that her dog is here. - Is it? Nobody told us about it.
Neethu saw the dog coming inside this flat.
It might be true, but we haven't seen it.
Don't act smart in front of the kids.
Return their dog.
We won't act so cheap.
We are very decent, gentle, loving youngsters.
But you look like a criminal.
You, too.
Listen. Ashey is here.
How did this come here? - I don't know.
Did it enter here in our absence?
I thought it was the sound of a tape recorder.
I thought the same. - How did it reach there?
I don't know. - Ashey, get down.
Ashey, come down.
Ashey. - Ashey, darling! Come down!
He is not coming down.
May I help you? - No, thanks.
Ashey.
Sorry. - Leave it.
Yes, make it fast.
Make it fast. Please push harder. - Push it.
Come and lend me a hand.
Okay, then reverse it a bit.
Let's push it together.
Start.
I don't think that this is going to work.
Hello. Need help? - Probably.
Else, it won't start.
Please help me with this.
Come and help them.
Push it from there. - What?
Push it from that side. - Okay.
Harder. Yes..
See how easy it is.
This car has saved a lot of lives.
Really. Is it so good? - Yes.
Before he reaches the hospital in this car for an operation
some other doctor would have already finished the operation
and the patient would have been discharged.
One day, he reached the hospital on time.
That patient didn't survive.
Make it fast. I have an operation.
Push it.
This car is as old as his father. Still, he won't buy a new one.
Thanks a lot.
Don't stare at her like that. She would come with you.
That's how the doctor got in trouble.
She's Kochutheresa, a former nurse at his hospital.
She became Mrs. Agarwal like that.
So better be careful.
Even I am trying hard not to fall in her net.
Yes. Ananda Padmanaban here.
It's me, Bonny.
Can you call Unnikrishnan?
It's urgent.
I hope you don't mind.
Yes, I will call him.
'Hang it on a wall.'
Mr. Unnikrishnan, you have a call.
Please move aside.
It's Unni. - Unni, I won't be coming home today.
Our area manager is camping in Trivandrum.
There is an executive meeting and.. - Get lost!
I know you well.
You probably have an assignation with someone.
No. Duty comes first.
After that, tomorrow is Saturday, right?
I might visit Kovalam on Sunday.
With whom?
Asha Cherian, Sreela, Shanty Thomas or Shanthi
or anyone else? - It's none of them.
It's a new one. I will tell you the details later.
Be careful. It's Kovalam.
If you do anything unwanted
I won't let you enter this house.
I know how to get out of trouble.
Tell Vinod about it. - Okay.
Sorry. I hope it wasn't a disturbance for you.
Do let me know if he calls again.
Hey! - Yes?
What are you doing there?
I was just playing the violin.
It's windy outside.
Will you conjure any celestial nymphs?
Are you playing games like Bonny? - Hey, no.
She's a good girl. I liked her.
Will your mom be fine with it?
She might've already found a simpleton
as her daughter-in-law.
She'll never have a problem with my choice.
We can't horse around like this your whole life!
Shouldn't we settle down somewhere?
Don't you get any letters from Indu?
I get four letters a week.
She has a lot of complaints about me!
Her letters are filled with her complaints.
Isn't that the right of a would-be wife?
Though I used to tease you before
now I feel love is a good thing. - What?
Oh, my God!
Vinu! Vinu!
What is it? - Come with me.
For what? - Just come with me!
Why don't you let me sleep?
You.. - Come.
Look at this.
Which is this baby? - How do I know?
How did it come here then?
Someone might've left it here.
I checked everywhere. I didn't see anyone.
This is your child. I'm giving it to you.
Oh, no.
Bonny - Correct.
This is Bonny's child.
Isn't he involved with multiple women?
It could belong to one of them.
Will it become a problem?
What do we do now?
It's going to be a slander. He is not even here in town.
We will do one thing then.
Let's keep the baby inside before people get to know.
Okay. Come.
Take the baby.
Be careful..
Get in..
Close the door..
Isn't she beautiful? - Yes.
Open the door! - You go..
You do it!
Mr. Raman is here to iron clothes.
Do you have any? - No. Ask him to come tomorrow.
It's very cold outside. Do you have a Bidi?
Bidi? Well..
There might be one inside.
We have cigarettes. Here.
Oh, you have a cigarette.
Keep the whole packet.
If I can have a coffee next
my morning routine will be over.
But we haven't made coffee yet.
What's the issue in making it now? There's a lot of time.
Didn't they wake up yet?
Hey, let them sleep. We'll make coffee.
Well, are there any women who've recently given birth here?
Yes. They've all given birth.
There are no barren women in this area.
It's not that.
Is there a woman who recently had a baby in this building?
Why? Do you need breast milk for your eyes?
What happened to your eyes?
There's nothing wrong with my eyes.
I asked because I heard a baby crying non-stop last night.
Who might that be?
A baby in this flat? - I don't know.
Did they hear it?
They might not have heard it.
I think the noise came from that side.
There's no baby of that age here.
I didn't hear it downstairs.
Maybe it's from upstairs. - Correct.
That might be it. - I'll go check then.
Did he leave? - Yes.
Did she wake up?
This is his child for sure.
Look at her face.
She looks exactly like him. - You're right.
Hey, look at this mole.
Bonny has a mole on the same spot.
Then it's his child. - Yes.
It might belong to one of his women.
Let that rascal come back. - That guy!
Are we supposed to take care of the baby until then?
Don't cry.. Look at this..
Who is this now?
How do I know? Don't open the door. - How else will we know who it is?
This guy..
Don't cry.. - It's Mr. Unnithan.
Don't open the door. They'll go, thinking we are out.
Stop crying, dear..
Don't ruin our lives!
Hey, look here..
Don't do that. She won't stop crying!
Do one thing. Switch on the radio.
Don't cry..
Increase the volume!
Stop crying.
What if she stops crying if we show her the TV?
Right, she's old enough to watch TV!
On top of that, any child will cry on watching our TV programmes.
What are we going to do now?
Oh, my God!
Stop crying, dear..
Maybe she's hungry.
Only if there was a woman with an infant!
Are you going to ask her to breastfeed the baby?
How are we going to stop her crying?
Hold the baby.
Hold it!
I'll go search for some milk.
Come back fast! Don't escape if you didn't get any.
Mr. Moosaka, where'll I find some milk?
The shop must be closed by now. - Oh, no.
You should go early in the morning for milk.
Didn't you have work today? - We have a guest.
Where will you get milk at this hour?
If you need milk that urgently
Mr. Unnithan from upstairs will have milk.
They will have it.
I'll come with you.
There's no need for that.
I'll go ask him.
There is something fishy about all this.
Good girl! Don't move.
Hey, I got it.
How did you stop her crying?
I did it!
You are awesome!
That's nice but the moment I remove my finger she starts crying. Look.
Don't cry..
Hey, give me the milk.
My finger looks pale with all the sucking.
Here's milk.. Don't cry..
Drink this milk, dear.. Don't cry..
Take your hand away and drink the milk..
Drink...
We'll need a feeding bottle for this.
I'll go buy it.
Stop.. Stop right there.. I'll go buy one.
Aren't you tired after buying the milk?
Don't play around, Vinod.
Don't run away instead of buying the milk!
Dear.. Mimicry.. I'll show you mimicry.
I'll show you a running train.
Oh, stop crying.
C-Cow..
Oh, just stop crying!
Look here, a c-cat..
It's a monkey..
Hey, don't cry!
Just listen to me, please.
Look, it's an a-aeroplane..
I want a feeding bottle.
Hello? You need to pay.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Here it is.
Give this to her.
Where were you?
I brought a dress for her to change.
You could've brought a cradle, too! - Oh, I forgot!
Great! And since we are jobless, we'll sing her lullabies all day!
I've been trying to stop her crying for the past one hour.
So whatever I did was worthless, is it?
Right! Go clean the bottle and bring some milk.
What? - Go fast.
Oh, no! Urine!
Vinod!
It's okay..
Here it is.. - Drink the milk, dear.
Drink.. Open the bottle!
Here, drink the milk..
Place her on the bed..
Drink..
Drink it..
Feed her properly.
I forgot to lock the door. - Go see who it is.
Do you have 'The Hindu'? - We subscribe to 'Indian Express'.
I hear a baby's cry.. - Baby?
He is practising mimicry.
Hey, you!
Stop here.
It's Rs. 3.
Hey, he is coming.
My friends!
Last night!
I'll never forget it!
A beautiful girl!
She belongs to a royal family.
Though it was a one night stand, I felt like marrying her.
I will give you the details after a shower.
Which is that baby?
Are your sister and husband here? - No.
Is that a neighbour's baby? - No.
Then whose is it? - That's what we want to know.
Whose child is that, you rascal?
What is it, friend? - Tell us the truth now!
How will I know? - Don't you know?
At least tell us who the mother is!
Where's your sister and family? - How dare you joke now?
Hey, Vinod!
'This is your child. I'm leaving her with you..'
Which girl's handwriting is that?
How will I know? - You are the only one who knows!
Remove your pants..
Why should I remove my pants? - We'll make you spill the truth!
Remove your pants.. - Oh, no!
How is that related? - It is connected.
Oh, no! - Remove it!
Did you see it? - They have the same mole.
How does having the same mole prove that the kid is mine?
Don't speak rubbish!
Unni! - Don't try to make excuses now!
You were bragging all this while!
Bonny doesn't make any mistakes!
He never leaves any strings attached!
One of those strings is on that bed!
At least have the decency to accept your mistake.
That's why there are certain restrictions!
You could have been a little careful!
Others wouldn't have had to suffer like this!
Stop it! What's the matter? - We will show you. Come!
Give her to him.
Keep her. She can stay with her own dad.
Now it's between you both!
Unni Krishnan.. - Hey, Vinod!
Don't say a word.
We have been handling this since morning.
The family room is over there. Stay there..
Unni Krishnan.. Open the door!
Listen to me, please! Open the door, Unni Krishnan!
Open the door, Vinod. The baby is crying!
Stop joking around!
Hey, Vinod! Open the door.
Open the door, idiot! Unni Krishnan, open the door.
Oh, no!
Unni Krishnan! Come fast!
The baby is defecating! Oh, no!
Hey, Vinod. Open the door!
Oh, no!
Open the door! Or I'll break it down.
Oh, no! - What is it?
Can you hold the baby? The baby is defecating on me!
Take it away! - Go wash her in that sink!
Can you help me clean this? - What did you say?
I'm not used to this.
Right! And we are experts in this! Take it away!
Hey! - At least help me with the pipe.
Do it yourself!
Don't ruin the table! - Get lost!
Oh, no!
Can you hold it so that I can go change?
No, we won't. Goodnight!
Stop crying! Oh!
For a baby, you are loud enough to wake the dead!
Don't make any noise!
Oh!
Where are you going this early?
I have to pick our MD from the airport.
You can do all that after taking care of the child.
I have to go. What will I tell my MD?
We are not going to let you go. No matter what!
You will escape if we let you leave! Unni Krishnan!
Unni Krishnan! - Don't do this!
You! - Let me go! It's urgent!
Hey! Get in!
Hey.. Open the door! I'll lose my job!
Unni Krishnan! Unni Krishnan!
Bye!
Unni Krishnan! Vinod! Stop!
Hey, Unni Krishnan!
Ashey, stop. Ashey, don't run!
Ashey..
Oh, no!
Why did you come here? - Our dog, mister.
Dog? - Who is this kid?
What is this dog and child?
Is this your kid?
Don't try to be smart with me!
How do you know it's my kid?
Just leave me alone! - Can we take her for a minute?
Yes, you can.. And don't bring her back.
Okay. I'll introduce her to everyone.
Oh, no! Leave..
Don't make any noise!
Stop crying.. I'll buy you ice cream!
Why are you crying?
What if anyone hears?
It's okay..
Who is this child?
So this is the baby who cried and created issues yesterday?
What issues? Yes, even I have some issues.
First, we'll get to the root of this issue.
Whose child is this? - The father is Unni Krishnan.
Mr. Unni Krishnan?
Isn't he a bachelor? - No, it is Vinod.
Isn't he a bachelor too?
Well..
Mr. Bonny, why are you lying to me?
The child looks exactly like you..
It's okay, mister.
Such mistakes happen when you are young.
I have made such mistakes many times in my life.
Anyway, call the mother.
The child doesn't have a mother. - What?
Is it a test-tube baby?
Don't get me in trouble, Mr. Moosaka.
Please, don't tell anyone about this baby!
Mr. Moosaka, this is a matter of my life.
No one should know about this.
Promise? - Okay. I won't tell anyone.
Stop her crying!
Give her some milk.
When you have a child.. - Mr. Moosaka!
Don't worry. I won't tell anyone. You can trust me.
Can you believe it?
You won't get such similarity even if you have a kid in marriage.
This is perfect.
She looks exactly like Mr. Bonny.
Did he tell you it was his kid?
He didn't say that.
But he made me promise
not to tell anyone about the kid.
Isn't there something fishy? - Yes.
I hope you have understood now.
This is why I keep saying that you can't judge people well.
You don't take whatever I say seriously.
What can be better than the presence of a child?
Aren't babies a blessing from God?
Don't get me worked up, Unni.
They haven't bothered us in any way.
Why should we bother if they have a baby or not in their flat?
I am saying the same thing.
If you ever go to their room or hang out with them
you will see my true colours.
Keep that in mind.
Didn't I say that day not to give the flat to bachelors
in a society full of families?
Did you tell me? - No, not you.
I told that to the owner of the flat.
Oh, okay. What is the point in getting mad at me?
You are right. Let me inform Varriar and the doctor about this.
What would they think otherwise?
They would think that I was keeping it from them.
I won't feel nice either if I don't tell this to anyone.
I will go now.
That is so kind of him.
What is it? Did your baby fall asleep?
No, she is playing music in her room.
Everybody knows about the baby.
I hope you are happy. - The truth was bound to come out.
You will all be satisfied if you make me that kid's father.
Anyway, you made a mistake, Bonny.
Just accept it now.
Yes.. - I made a big mistake now.
Yes. - I shouldn't have stayed with you.
You should have thought about the consequences
when you were flirting around.
Why won't you believe me?
We can't believe you in this case, no matter what you say.
Oh, God! Why are you testing me?
God won't sympathise with you.
Oh, no! This is not my baby!
I don't know how else to explain.
Trust me. I am not in a relationship with a woman.
I have told you a lot of lies just for the fun of it.
They were just some stories I cooked up after a tour.
To be honest, Asha Cherian, Amrita Kumar and Zeenath
are just my imaginary girlfriends.
I just feel happy when I talk about my feelings.
I had no idea that this would put me in this much trouble.
Never in my life have I been physically intimate with a woman.
For God's sake, just believe me.
Then who's baby is it?
That is what I cannot understand.
Damn! What do we do now?
This baby is a burden upon us.
Taking care of the baby until someone comes for it..
Nobody will come looking for the baby.
I am sure.
They would not have abandoned the baby otherwise.
How about we hand the baby over to the police station?
No, let us not do that.
Then we will have to go to the station.
That will get us into more trouble.
Then what do we do?
We found the baby in front of the door.
We can keep the baby in front of some other house and run away.
That won't do, Bonny.
Everybody else in this apartment knows about the baby.
Not in this colony. How about someplace else?
Come.
Come.. Slowly..
Get in.
Who is it?
Who.. - It is just the three of us.
It was you guys.
Where are you taking the baby at this hour?
The baby is sick. - Yes.
We are going to the hospital. - Which one will be open now?
Well.. - Let us go to Dr. Rajalakshmi.
I will come, too. - Oh, no..
Did you hear a noise upstairs? - Yes, I did.
What? On top of this building? - Yes, I heard it, too.
A sound from up there? - Yes..
Go.. I will show you.
Take a look upstairs. Go..
I heard a loud noise from the 3rd floor, Mr. Moosaka. Go.
Go..
Something seems fishy.
This place will do. There are a lot of houses here.
We can leave the baby at some door.
I think everybody is asleep.
We can leave the baby here.
There is a Maruti car parked in this house.
That means they are monetarily stable.
Nothing will go wrong if they get another baby.
Come. - Hey..
What? - It is much better over here.
They have Maruti car there. But they have a Contessa here.
Leave the baby here.
Spread the towel over here.
Be careful. Don't wake the baby up.
Hey. Come.
Stop the car, Bonny. Stop it.
What?
What is it? - A dog was about to eat the baby.
This won't work out.
Start the car.
Where are you going?
Did you give the baby some milk?
I won't be able to take care of the baby from today.
No matter how much I wash, I can't get that stench out.
You are the one who has some experience with babies.
Take care of the baby today. - Find someone else to do it.
You were the one who brought the baby back.
You take care of the baby. - I have a meeting today.
I will lose my job if I miss it.
As though the others in this house are jobless.
Take the day off, Bonny. - Yes.
You can't leave the baby alone over here, isn't it?
Oh, you are dressed up for work as well.
This is such a pain.
Don't just make me do all the work. Let us all take care of the baby.
Oh, is it?
Stay here. - What?
None of you are going to leave until we come to a conclusion.
Let us draw lots and decide.
Yes, Both of you can draw lots and decide.
Where are you going? Stay here.
Now that we have decided to draw names
let us be the three of us. How about that?
The director will be visiting today. I cannot miss work.
But I looked after the baby yesterday.
Then what will people think if we look after your baby?
Silence! Let us draw lots and decide.
Then so be it.
Okay.
Pick one.
Oh, God.
What is it?
Vinod. - What?
Well, I.. - Don't say a word now.
Don't forget to do the needful.
You have to feed milk at 10 o'clock and Cerelac at 11 o'clock.
Don't forget to clean the place up after the baby takes a dump.
The perfume is in the cupboard.
Get lost.
How much is it? - Rs. 6.50.
Here you go.
Stay in here.
Don't cry.
This is 'C'6, Father.
Oh, God!
Oh, Uncle.
Indu..
How did you find this place?
We had gone to your office first.
Why didn't you go to work today?
I wasn't feeling well. I have a fever.
Oh, no. Didn't you visit a doctor?
It wasn't that bad.
There are a lot of viruses around.
Be careful.
How did you decide to drop by?
She had an interview today.
We are on our way back from there.
I told her that there is no need to work.
Now that you have a good job..
Wives work and earn these days, too.
Vinod likes it.
Isn't it? - Yes.
After marriage.. - Where is the toilet?
My stomach has been upset after I had lunch.
What? - The flush isn't working.
It is better inside this one..
Indu..
I am upset with you. Why didn't you tell me that you were ill?
Fever doesn't come with a warning, does it?
You are always like this.
You won't understand my problems.
When you are ill
and I am not around to take care..
There you go again.
I wrote a lot of letters to you.
You didn't reply to even one.. - Oh, is it?
I don't have time to waste in writing love letters.
What is this?
Bonny's sister and her baby had come over.
She must have left it here.
Oh, no.
Why do I hear a baby crying?
It is a kind of new African music.
Unni brought that cassette.
You are trying to hide something from me.
Move aside. - Listen to me.
I don't want to listen to anything. Which is that baby?
Why have you hidden that baby inside?
What? Hiding a baby?
Leave it. You were cheating me all this while.
Call the baby's mother.
Oh, no. - I understand everything.
What are you saying? - Enough.
My life is ruined.
It is all my fate. I will bear it.
Indu, Listen to me..
What is going on?
Why are you crying?
Let us leave, Father.
But the train is at 5 o'clock.
Let us relax.. - We can relax at the station.
Tell me what the matter is.
Are you coming with me? I am going now.
Let me get my bag and umbrella.. - Indu.
Indu, you have misunderstood the situation.
Please listen to me. - No! Enough!
Indu..
Uncle.. - Vinod, I never expected this.
Good God!
Why do you look so grumpy?
Bad things will happen if you don't come to a decision.
What happened? - My life gets ruined for an orphan child.
Is that it?
Stop!
Don't mock me!
What is the matter?
Indu and her father came and things got out of hand.
Very nice! She thought it is your illegitimate child and got angry.
It's okay, man. Let her go.
One slap and.. - Don't be mad.
It happened, didn't it? - Yes.
Don't know that she is my bride-to-be?
Who knows what they will say back home?
Either she will consume poison, hang herself or drown to death.
What else will she do? Couldn't you have told her the truth?
She didn't even let me!
I'll tell you this!
Don't expect me to take turns and take care of the baby.
The siren has begun! - Go and take care of her.
I won't even touch that thing! The affectionate ones may do so.
What is this? Please go have a look, Bonny.
Let the day end. - What? - Didn't you make the rules?
Let the day end! - Yes, indeed! - No way!
Let her live or die! - Don't say that!
Didn't we just get back?
Our hands are full. - You sit idle all day long. - Don't say that.
I won't take care of her! - Didn't you agree to it?
Don't back down now!
Didn't we pick turns? - I don't care.
If that's.. - You must take care of her, no matter what.
Like I have nothing else to do!
You should do it! - Go ahead and do it!
Don't expect me to. Very sorry! - Take the child!
Excuse me.
Can't you hear the baby crying?
We did.
Babies cry.
Won't she fall sick if she keeps on crying?
We don't care.
Since you haven't found her guardians yet
can't you entrust her with an orphanage?
If what you say is true
you should have informed the police.
Please help us, Mother.
Don't you have many orphans here?
Let her be one of them.
There must be proof that she is an orphan.
Or else, we will be held responsible
if someone comes to claim her.
What do you suggest we do with her, Mother?
It's not because I don't understand your problem.
Our hands are tied, unfortunately.
Are you sure? - Yes.
We shall do this then.
We'll escape after keeping her at your gates and ringing the bell.
Please don't feel bad.
Don't you get many children like that?
People like you have a misconception.
That an orphanage is a place where you
can dump children of unknown origin!
I'm sorry!
Hey! Bonny!
Oh! Don't cry..
No.. Don't cry..
Come.. Don't cry.. Dear, don't cry..
Look.. Over there.. Look..
Don't, dear.. What do you want?
Do you want some milk? Why are you crying?
Don't, dear..
Don't cry, dear..
What do you want? What do you want?
The baby is crying too much. What happened?
She's a bit adamant.
Don't you have work today?
It's my turn today.
Let me try holding her.
What if her parents come looking for her?
We will have to return her.
Don't cry, dear.
She's stopped crying.
So, what's your decision? - What are you thinking of?
Are you trying to be sentimental?
No, it's not sentiments.
Someone might have put her here by accident.
What if that person comes back in search of her?
Are we caretakers? Get lost!
We should get rid of her. Moosaka's idea is brilliant.
I strongly suspect that it is his child.
There is a chance! - What rubbish!
You're talking rubbish now! - Will you get rid of her
if she was your child? - Okay, I'm leaving!
Moosaka, wait!
Hey! Listen, both of you.
As Moosaka said, we'll give the child
to the agent tonight itself. Let him sell her
or do whatever he wants. - Right.
Did Moosaka tell you about everything? - Yes.
Give it to her! Don't worry!
The foreigners will take care of her better than her real parents.
Moreover, it a credit to us if she gets a chance to get
raised abroad.
We might even get a foreign trip
on her account.
Foreigners can take you anywhere.
Just give her to him.
Come, dear.
I'm feeling so relieved.
I must admit, it's so hard to raise a child.
Let's have some shots of brandy and sleep peacefully!
Oh, Lord!
I'm feeling a little uneasy.
Some kind of emptiness!
Are you going to be sentimental again?
No, Bonny. I feel the same as well.
I feel like I lost something.
I can't forget her smile.
For God's sake! What are you trying to say?
No, we were just..
To hell with your sentiments!
You ruined my mood to drink.
Go to sleep!
I saw her with my own eyes. It was her, I swear.
So what? We abandoned her.
We don't need to worry about it anymore.
Bonny, he took the child from us promising that he would give her
to be raised by foreigners.
I was shocked when he said that.
After all, she stayed with us for a few days.
Just think. What if they make her
a handicap or blind her?
She would beg all her life.
Even if it's somebody's child
and she had disturbed us a lot
should we let her suffer like this?
To be frank, we are responsible for this.
The Lord will curse us!
What can we do now?
There is no time to think. Let's get her back from that guy.
Then?
We will raise her!
Hey, Where is Muthala Vaasu?
There.
Vasu.
I'll be back.
What is it, sir? - Where is the kid?
I've made the deal. She might've reached Germany by now.
Don't lie to us! Where is she? - I've given her to a foreigner.
Where is she? - Can't you understand?
Stop there!
Move.
Don't touch the baby.
Move. - Move. - Hey, Chandran. - Move. - Move.
Pay me Rs. 5,000, if you need the baby.
I shall pay Rs. 10,000.
Go, if you want. - Hold her.
Move. - Give me the baby.
Get the baby. - Take care of the baby.
Move. - Give me the baby. - Leave me.
Oh, no. - Run.
Give her to me.
Don't run. Catch them. - Run.
Come. Leave her.
Leave me. Move. - Leave me.
Don't hurt the baby.
Move.. Leave me.
Stop. - Move. - Stop. Give me back the baby.
Get in.
Oh, no. Run.
Block the car, Preman.
Oh, no.
Start the vehicle.
Don't spare them. Run.
Stop.
Block the car.
Stop..
Stop the vehicle.
Dear. Who are you?
Even after abandoning you, why do you keep coming back to us?
How are you related to us?
I feel we must have known her in a previous birth.
You are becoming a part of our lives.
Do you know?
We have started to love you.
Even if no one wants you, we do.
We won't leave you again.
We will bring you up
like a pretty angel.
You will live with us.
Hey. Shouldn't we name her?
Yes.
What shall we name her?
Chakki.
No.
What about Parukutty?
No. - No.
Kingini.
- Kingini.
Nice. - Good name.
Kingini. - Kingini. - Kingini.

Good morning. - Good morning.
Do you recognise me? - No.
Do all of you speak the same language?
Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Hindi. I ask this because
if you talk to me in your mother tongue
I shall reply to you in the same language.
Who is he? - I don't know.
Why are you looking at each other?
Well, we don't recognise you.
Think deeply.
Still don't recognise me? No?
Sure?
I am Shishupalan.
Child specialist. MDS. Good morning.
Mr. Prabhakaran Nair sent me here.
So you are here to look after the child. - Yes.
What is the child's mother tongue? - She has not started talking yet.
How old is she? - Almost eight months old.
So we don't need this. - What are these?
I shall explain everything.
This has to be used for children above three years of age.
This is for five years and above.
This is for eight years and above.
Does she make trouble while eating?
No. - Tell me. - No, she doesn't cause trouble.
If that's so, then we should keep this like this.
This is a jack.
We should feed her this way.
Don't worry.
There are objects that have been sterilised in hot water.
What? - Yes.
All objects related to babies
have to be used only after sterilisation.
Else they will get tetanus.
Don't you know all this?
Why do you not know of this?
We may use this to shape a child's life.
This has to be used with children above ten years.
If they throw eatables
or if they do anything mischievous
we need to make this rod hot
until it becomes red.
We need to make the child stand
remove their clothes
and keep this slowly on their bottoms
very gently.
It sounds like this.
After this, that child will never
throw eatables or do anything mischievous again.
We need to take care of children scientifically.
I have written some books about this.
Is this the child? - No.. - Good morning. - Morning.
Where is the child? - She is inside.
Make way for the child specialist.
Thank you. Follow me.
Is she an adamant child? - No.
Does she cry all the time? - No.
So there must be some problem with her. - What?
If we behave in a sweet manner
we can tame any child.
What is her name?
Kingini. - What?
Kingini! - Kingini.
For example..
The child is sleeping.
I know that.
I know that she is not meditating. Don't interrupt.
Please don't interrupt.
Scientifically speaking
I shall show you how to play with a sleeping child.
Look.
She has woken up.
I shall manage that.
Damn..
Dear. - Kingini. - Kingini. - Kingini.
Dear. - Don't cry..
Dear.. Kingini..
Don't cry..
Dear Kingini. - Dear.
Dear..
Dear Kingini..
Don't cry.
Kingini, darling.
Kingini. - Dear..
Dear. Dear Kingini.
Dear.
Baby.
Listen to me.
Let me start my duty by seeking your blessings.
Best of luck. - Thank you.
Take care of her properly, mister.
You should feed her on time.
We are leaving after leaving you in charge.
Today's children are tomorrow's citizens.
Don't teach me how to look after children.
I have taken care of foreign children
and cultureless Malayali children.
So you need not worry about that.
If you don't like me
give me a notice period of six months and get rid of me.
I don't like it if you look at each other.
You should get me the things I mentioned in the list.
I forgot one thing.
Two bottles of alcohol.
Alcohol? For what?
Scientifically speaking, in baby care
alcohol plays a major role.
So while bathing the child
I will have to use a few drops of alcohol.
It will destroy germs.
He is talking about Dettol.
I need Dettol, too.
And I know how to use it.
Get me alcohol soon.
Alcohol! - Okay. - Okay..
Wait..
I forgot to ask something.
Whose child is this?
I have to deal some things with the parents.
That is why I asked you.
She is our child.
Does she belong to the three of you?
That does not concern you.
Yes, it does.
Where did you get this child from?
We adopted her from an orphanage. - Why?
Just for fun. - Can't you adopt a monkey, if it was for fun?
Is my question wrong?
Kingini. - Kingini. - Kingini.
Wait. Children are prone to communicable diseases.
If you are adamant that you want to kiss
you may kiss me. Here..
One by one. - Get lost! - Don't strangle me, sir.
Kingini.
Hello. - It's me, Suji.
Didn't you go to college today? - I felt lazy. So I didn't go.
I heard that you were very lazy these days.
Some girls will be like that at this age.
I am forcing my parents to get me married
before I get into trouble. But they don't listen.
They might want their daughter to find her man.
No one should expect me to find someone like that.
You should marry me according to our customs.
Are you serious?
Yes.
Hello.. Why are you silent, Unni?
Well, I was thinking about Kingini.
Why?
After our wedding
who will look after Kingini?
Unni's friends will be there, won't they?
Can't we bring her up as our daughter?
Suji. Why are you silent?
As you wish, Unni.
Dear baby.
Don't cry.
Don't cry, dear.
"If small kids are naughty, they will be beaten."
"If small kids.."
Hey, can't you see the child crying? - Yes, she is crying.
That is why I'm making her sleep by singing.
Go and change your clothes.
"If small kids are naughty, they will be beaten."
"If small kids.."
What is this?
G-Give her to me. Give her.
"In the stretches of the sky"
"lies a palace filled with gems."
"Come spread happiness there, dear."
"In the stretches of the sky"
"lies a palace filled with gems."
"Come spread happiness there, dear."
I want to know something. - What?
What is my duty here? - Don't you know that?
I am not here to disturb you.
I don't like when people interfere in my duty.
What do you need now?
Give the child to me.
If I don't sing a lullaby, I can't sleep. It has become a habit.
Let her sleep here.
After our office time, we will take care of her.
This is not a corporate office to take shifts.
If you are adamant, please join such an institution
or somewhere else.
Is he mad?
I'm going to sing a lullaby to make her sleep.
There is no use in interfering in this.
Come, dear.
"I am a nomad bearing countless sorrows."
"Don't hurt me by throwing stones at me."
"Don't hurt me, Kingini."
"Never hurt me."
"Never hurt me by throwing stones."
Hey.
Can't you hear her crying?
How can you sleep?
Let her cry for some time.
I can sleep only if I hear her cry.
It has become a habit.
Get her. - Don't do this.
Look. Take her after I sleep.
Bring her back after you sleep. - Get lost.
He is blabbering. - How will I sleep?
Kingini. - Bloody idiot. - What?
I was commenting about the things written here. - Come.
Kingini, dear.
Kingini. - How will I sleep now?
There is no doll here that makes a crying noise.
I have many weird habits.
Let me sleep. What else do I do?
"You live near the flowers.."
No. I did not get it.
I did not get the alcohol.
Will you send it? Yes?
Please hold on.
Talk to him, dear.
Hold this. Talk to him.
Hold it.
Give me the phone when he sends the alcohol.
"You live near.." - What is it?
Do you have a language problem?
Talk to me in your mother tongue
I shall give you a reply in that language.
Marathi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam. Who are you?
Does Ananda Padmanaban live here?
Oh, so you are a Malayali. - Yes.
Malayalees are dirty fellows.
Still, tell me what the problem is.
I want to meet Ananda Padmanaban.
Who? - Ananda Padmanaban.
Why did you come here for that? You can meet him in Trivandrum
at the temple..
If you want to meet his brother, you may go to Guruvayur.
There is a temple there, too.
I meant a person who lives here. - There is no one like that here.
I stay here with a few colleagues.
I don't think a Malayali named Ananda Padmanaban lives here.
Well.. - Please don't disturb..
Didn't I tell you?
Would I not tell you if he was here? He is not here.
How can I create him for you?
Leave.
I will get him when I find him. I will lock him up.
Leave. - "Today is a very special.."
Malayalis are jobless. Can't they join the army?
They are scared of death. Frauds!
Where is the baby, Dad?
What is it, Dad?
I could not meet Ananda Padmanaban.
They said that he does not stay there.
Someone else stays there now.
Where is my daughter?
Why are you silent, Dad?
Where is my daughter?
She must be with him.
Don't worry.
He might be in his hometown with his mom.
Don't cry, dear.
Wherever she is, I will get your baby.
Isn't this Ananda Padmanaban's house? - Yes.
Who are you?
I am here to meet him.
He is not here. He is in Ernakulam.
I looked for him there. They said that he had moved.
How is that possible?
I just got a letter from him yesterday.
He did not mention anything about moving.
Where are you from?
What is the matter?
Is it urgent?
Someone..
Who are you? - Mr. Ananda Padmanaban..
He lives in that flat.
Try ringing that bell.
I think he is not there.
He's rarely here during the day.
Where are you from? - When can I meet him?
He's busy most of the time.
He rarely comes home.
If you want, I can pass a message.
I'll come and meet him some other day.
Kingini..
Kingini. My sweetie.
Kingini. - Don't misunderstand me.
I am not here to take care of you.
I'm here to take care of the baby.
Hold your bag and let me hold the baby.
Hold it.
Don't disturb me.
You are hiding something. What happened to my daughter?
Did he refuse to give my baby?
I know. He wants to take his revenge.
You should have tried to forcefully bring the child with you.
Don't stay silent after making things this messy.
If something happens to her
I will kill myself.
Then you don't have
to worry about anything.
Come.
Come, dear.
I will wait here.
Dear. My child.
Dear.
Stop there. Give me my child.
Dad. My child. - What?
This is my child. - Your child?
Who is this? - She is my daughter.
This is her child. - Don't touch the baby.
I don't like when strangers touch her.
This is my baby. Dad.
Don't act smart. I have told him many times.
What are you looking at? Get lost.
Sir, please give our baby. Dear.
Sir.. - What are you up to?
That day you came in search of Ananda Padmanaban. I will..
You came in search of him.
Now you came with your daughter.
Did you think that I'll give you the kid? - Give it to me.
Please give the kid to us. - Is she mad?
No, this is her daughter.
We will leave right away if you give us the child.
What do you mean?
This kid has three fathers.
What will I tell them?
Get lost. - Listen to me. Watchman.
Please listen to me carefully. - No.
I don't have to listen to you.
I don't even like talking to women. - Please listen to us.
I will listen to you later.
Watchman.
Please give me my child.
You! - Give it to me.
Move away! - Dear!
Oh, God!
Open the door..
Please open the door.
My daughter. Dad.
Open the door. - What is happening here?
There are people staying nearby.
My daughter.. He is not giving me my child.
Your child? - Yes, the child inside is her daughter.
Please ask him to open the door.
How did your daughter reach here?
Were you the one who had abandoned that baby?
Give me an honest answer.
Open the door. - Listen to me.
Don't try to break the door. Respectable people stay here.
For God's sake, ask him to return our child.
This isn't a bank where you can deposit and withdraw things.
Don't try to be emotional. That's not going to work.
Sir, I am begging you. Please return my child.
I cannot do anything about it.
There are people here who are responsible for it.
Even if I give you the child, they will thrash me to death.
Do one thing. Go home for the time being
and come back some other day.
You can then talk to them and take your child back
or do whatever you feel like.
Please spare me.
Open the door. - Don't break the door down.
Take her with you.
Sir. - Come, let's go. - That's enough.
Don't address me as sir. My daughter.
Sir, please.. We will come later.
Come.
Let's go.
You usually enquire all the details about everyone.
You should have asked for her name and address at least.
Don't try to act smart.
You are not paying me to enquire about others.
My job is to take care of the baby.
That includes her protection.
That is why I didn't give her the baby.
Don't expect anything more from me.
If she is Kingini's mother, she will come again.
There is no proof that she is her mother.
I am sure that she is her mother.
I can easily understand the feelings of a mother.
As nobody came searching for her, I thought that
no one would come in the future.
Why didn't you inform me about this before?
You lied to me that you had adopted her from an orphanage.
I hate liars. - Get lost.
Did you hear that, Bonny? - Go and take care of the kid.
Did you hear that, Unni? - Get lost.
Malayalis are always like this.
We will have to return Kingini to her if she comes again.
What else can we do if she is the mother?
Can we give the baby to her just like that?
We have some rights on her.
Do you know that girl and her dad?
Which girl? - So you aren't aware of it?
A girl came here and created a fuss, asking for Kingini.
She was saying that it's her child.
I somehow managed to get them out of this place.
They came here in search of you.
Are they your relatives?
Dear, how long will you lie down like this?
Go and freshen up.
My daughter is in the
hands of strangers. - Try to console yourself.
She is perfectly fine.
Somehow, I will bring her back with me tomorrow.
Please get up.
Oh, God! You thief.
Did you come to steal our baby?
I had warned you not to come here.
Are you trying to get me fired?
Why are you silent?
Is it a language issue? - I..
Don't try to act smart. I warned you already.
I will ask the police to shoot you if you stay here anymore.
Why are Malayalis behaving like this?
Are you trying to spoil this land?
As long as I am here, you won't be able to take the baby.
Kingini.
Hey.
What?
Where is Kingini? - Isn't this Kingini?
Where is Kingini?
Isn't she here? I slept after putting her to sleep.
Oh, God!
That old man was here today. - Which old man?
The same old man which I was talking about the other day.
They would have taken her.
We had hired you to take care of the kid.
Are you sleeping here without closing the door?
Where is our Kingini?
H-Hey, well.. I don't know.
What is it? - Kingini is missing. - What?
I think someone took her.
Kingini.
Did you see Kingini, Neethu? - No, mister.
Kingini.
Did you see Kingini, Suji? - No.
What is it, Unni?
What.. - The child is missing. - What?
Baby Kingini. - Kingini. - Baby Kingini.
Dear Lord. Thief..
- What happened?
You made us tense, doctor.
I was playing with the child. - What?
Go back..
Were you playing with the child?
What is your mother tongue?
What? - What is your mother tongue?
Hindi. - Hindi?
How dare you take the child without our permission and play with her.
What do you think of yourself?
That lady has been waiting for a long time, sir.
Ask her to come in. - Okay, sir.
Please go in.
May I come in? - Yes.
Please sit.
What is it?
Why are you crying?
Please return my daughter.
Oh! So you are the one.
I wanted to meet you.
Why have you locked my daughter away?
What is your intention? - Shall I ask that question to you?
What is your intention in getting the child?
Why should we give the child to you?
You did not leave her to us.
Oh, she is my daughter.
You got her by accident.
Not by accident
we found her abandoned on our doorstep.
If the one who gave birth to her can abandon her
I don't find any sympathy for your tears.
You may say whatever you want.
You may criticise me
but I need my daughter.
Please. - It is impossible.
You really may be her mother
but I find it difficult to accept that now.
I am not the only one taking care of her.
I and my friends should make a decision.
Listen to me, sir. - No.
You may have many stories to tell
but I don't have the time to listen to you.
Please, sir. - Look. This is an office.
If you cry and create a scene
I will have to throw you out.
In that mood, even though I was rude to her
I felt bad later.
Her tears and sorrow.. - She will cry.
She might even protest here. How can we let go of Kingini?
You can't ignore the feelings of a mother easily.
I won't let that happen.
Children should grow drinking a mother's milk.
Children should sleep listening to a mother's lullaby.
Only a mother will know the pain of pregnancy.
Have you experienced it? - No, I have not.
What? - I have heard people say this.
Have you had enough of working here?
Why do you ask, mister?
Your presence has caused us only trouble
and no good. - Let Unni speak. - Isn't he right?
We shall find someone else to take care of her. - Yes?
Someone is calling me.
You can't let go of me without a notice period of six months.
That is mandatory.
One thing is definite.
Kingini is her daughter.
She must have left her because of a serious problem. - Okay.
But why should she leave her on our doorstep?
What if she got the wrong door?
How?
We share our doorstep
with that of Ananda Padmanaban, right?
What if she had left it there?
Hey. I don't think he will do such a thing.
You can't say that.
The old man first came in search of Ananda Padmanaban.
Mr. Ananda Padmanaban left a few days ago
with his luggage.
Did he leave? Where to?
He told me he was going to his hometown.
He also told me
about some tour and that he won't be back for a few months.
I think he ran away.
If he left suddenly
there is something fishy.
He ran away. For sure.
Who are you?
We are Ananda Padmanaban's friends.
Oh! Is it? Please come.
Come. Come inside.
Please sit.
Shall I serve coffee?
Or do you need buttermilk? The temperature is high.
Isn't Anandu home? - No. He has gone out.
He'll be back soon.
Did you study with him or..
We were neighbours. - Okay, fine.
Well, why didn't you come for the engagement?
Whose engagement?
Anandu's engagement.
The wedding has been fixed for the 10th of this month.
Very few days.
We don't have the time to invite everyone.
Who is the bride?
Oh! Didn't he tell you?
She's from a big family in Palakkad.
The bride holds the first rank in M.A. Literature.
She's their only daughter.
Her dad has a jewellery shop and estate in Coimbatore and Salem.
Moreover, he in influential in Delhi.
His time is good now.
Damn. I forgot to serve coffee.
I am like this. I forget everything if I start talking.
Let me serve coffee.
Didn't I tell you?
He is not like what we think about him.
He escaped and reached here. He is intelligent.
He is coming..
How did you come here?
You got engaged. Why did you keep it a secret?
Everything was decided fast.
It was all my mom's plan.
As everything has been decided, how can we..
What? - Well, people will have affairs before their wedding.
That is quite normal. - Yes.
But how can one marry them? - Yes! - What are you saying?
I can't understand. - It's an issue if there is a child involved.
We have not misunderstood you.
This is quite common among youngsters now. - Yes.
What do you mean?
Well, a lady named Maya is bothering us
all the time, claiming to be Kingini's mother
We wanted to know if she is related to you.
Maya.
I don't know anyone by that name.
Yes. Didn't I tell you?
He is not such a person.
Then how can Kingini be his daughter?
My daughter? - Oh! Isn't that what the lady said?
Not exactly. But something like that.
Yes. - Mind your words.
I don't know anyone like that.
Neither do I have a daughter.
Are you here to insult me intentionally? - Oh! - Oh!
Don't misunderstand us.
We just wanted to clarify.
Shall we leave?
We visited you as we were passing through.
Don't worry, sir.
They were just joking. - Well..
Now we have to find the child's dad.
Come.
Holy flame..
Why do you strain yourself by studying so much?
You already have a good job now.
This job won't suffice.
I need a bigger job.
I need to climb to greater heights.
I need to achieve all my dreams
including you.
It's all because of my mom's prayers.
She had done a lot of offerings for me to pass the exam.
It's a mix of God's blessings and your hard work.
Many of my students have become
doctors, engineers and IAS officers.
I have a special affection for you, which I had
never felt for any one of them.
Will you forget me after becoming a collector?
No, I know what you mean.
It's not going to happen.
I am saying this for our good.
I don't want to gain anything by aborting this baby.
Please try to understand me.
A marriage, child and a family all in a jiffy
without proper planning won't do any good for us.
Next month, I have to go for my training.
I have to spend one year in Mussoorie
and one year in Kerala.
Only after that will I get my first posting.
Only then can I think about leading a married life.
How will I wait for you in such a condition?
That is why I am asking you to abort it. - No.
Don't be adamant.
You are only thinking from your side.
Try to understand my feelings.
Your feelings are like that of a silly girl.
Yes, I am silly about this matter.
I have the dreams of an ordinary girl.
You might have your own notions.
But I cannot think of anything else other than this.
I had struggled a lot to reach this point.
If you want to lead a life with me
you have to wait a bit longer. - Ananda..
Don't act as if
I am the only one responsible for all this.
We are equally responsible for this.
What do you want me to do?
You have to listen to me.
I am ready to do anything you want me to do
but I can't do this.
Then, do whatever you wish.
You are cruel.
I might be.
I am only ready to marry a girl who can listen to me and do
whatever I ask her to do.
Otherwise, don't expect me.
You said that the training would start only next month.
What happened now that you're leaving so soon?
I have some work at home before leaving for my training.
My mom is staying alone there.
What about your job in the bank? - I resigned.
So, you won't be coming here again?
May God bless you. We will pray for you.
Where is Maya?
She went to the temple.
It was too late when I came to know about everything.
I don't know if you would be able to understand a situation where
a rural village girl gives birth to a baby before marriage.
She stopped me whenever I got ready
to go in search of him.
I thought that he had reached
a point where she was not worthy of him.
But even she needs to have a life.
I won't be there for long.
One of our relatives was ready to marry her
even after knowing everything.
But he refused to take the responsibility of the child.
She was adamant about not leaving the child.
I felt that the child was an obstacle to her future.
Then I didn't give a second thought.
Ananda Padmanaban was responsible for all this. I was angry at him.
He has a responsibility towards the child, too.
Without her knowledge, I brought the child and kept it here.
It was a mistake from this old man
that the child reached your hands.
Things didn't happen according to my expectations when I returned.
She started becoming violent.
I managed to keep her in the dark for many days.
But when I understood
that I would lose my daughter
I..
At least now, please return the child
and make my daughter happy.
Please don't misunderstand us.
What is the proof that you are telling the truth?
As far as we know, Ananda Padmanaban is a decent guy.
It's hard to believe this story about him.
This story could be a forged one
to insult him or to get something done from him.
Oh, no! - Let Mr. Ananda Padmanaban
admit to us that the child is his. Then, we shall return your child.
Sir. - Very sorry.
Sir. - We will only return her if both her parents come to us.
Forgive me.
I am taking your time to discuss something important.
I hope it is okay. - It's okay.
Next Sunday, I am getting married. - We know that.
Did you call us here to invite us for your marriage?
We are youngsters, right?
I hope you understand my feelings.
The only child of my mom. A middle-class family.
The family background of the girl I am going to marry
and my reputation.
I am not getting any peace of mind.
I hope I can say this to you. - Go ahead.
Even though I denied it that day, it's the truth.
Kingini is my daughter.
We already know that.
It's not just us. Everyone there is aware of it.
That is my issue.
That is the reason I called you here to talk.
Now, it is going to affect my future.
You should have thought about it earlier.
There are many scientific methods for this.
Somehow, it happened.
It wasn't intentional.
I was in love with her.
Even now, I don't hate her.
But now, I am not ready to accept her and the kid.
The kid is with you now.
I will be tense as long as the child is with you.
So, please return the child when they come to you the next time.
Sorry, we won't be able to do that.
Okay, then. I will take the child.
Will you raise the child?
Is your future wife ready to accept this child?
Or do you want to take the child to the orphanage?
Very sorry, Mr. Ananda Padmanaban.
We thought that you were a gentleman.
But we know now that you are a selfish person.
Even if you accept it, we are not
going to believe that you are his real dad.
Now, we are not ready to give that baby to anyone.
See you. Let's go.
I met the lawyer.
He says that the law cannot do anything.
We don't have any proof that the child belongs to us.
No birth certificate or anything else.
If a case is registered, we'll have to answer a lot of questions.
What can we do now?
They will only return the child
if both of you go together and ask for her.
Are you asking me to go and meet him?
Do as you wish, dear.
"Blink.. Blink till you sleep."
"Let the baby's tender eyes and heart rest."
"Our dear baby is ready to sleep."
"Even if we are tempted by life"
"even if the Gods want you"
"we won't let go of you. We will take care of you."
"Our dear baby is ready to sleep."
"Even if we are tempted by life"
"even if the Gods want you"
"we won't let go of you. We will take care of you."
"When your feet grow, when your tender hands grow.."
"We shall gift you. We shall decorate you."
"We shall gift you and we shall decorate you with wealth."
"The mother has woken up in our hearts.."
"Our dear baby is ready to sleep."
"Even if we are tempted by life"
"even if the Gods want you"
"we won't let go of you. We will take care of you."
"Without a path or purpose.."
"Eyes were opened somewhere.."
"The eyes of the stars were opened somewhere discreetly."
"Neither did the night nor the flowers know of this."
"Our dear baby is ready to sleep."
"Even if we are tempted by life"
"even if the Gods want you"
"we won't let go of you. We will take care of you."
"Blink.. Blink until you sleep."
"Let the baby's tender eyes and heart rest."
Who are you? - Is Anandu home?
Yes.
I'm not here to remind you of our past.
Nor to demand any rights.
I had decided not to meet you ever again.
But I need my daughter back.
Our daughter..
No. They're not giving back my daughter to me.
They asked about her father.
They are adamant that they'll give her only if I go with my husband.
What should I do?
Don't I have the right to get my daughter back?
I don't want anything else.
You may live your life as you wish.
Me and my daughter would never
be a problem for your future.
I left all my dreams long ago.
I will never curse you.
You will prosper.
Please come with me today.
Please tell them that you are her father just one time.
Look at me, dear..
Look at me, Kingini. Here.
Yes. - Look, dear.
Go and check. - Yes. - Okay.
Look, dear..
Look over there. Yes..
I came here to take my daughter back.
As you requested, her dad has also come with me.
At least now, return her to me.
What happened?
They have come together to take Kingini away.
Who? - Mr. Ananda Padmanaban and that woman.
What do we do now?
We had agreed to give her back if they came together.
How can we live without her?
We're not going to give her back.
I don't care if they come together.
We're not going to give her back, no matter what.
Why are you still being so adamant?
It's true that you love her
and it's hard for you to let her go.
But her parents are standing at our doorstep.
Blood relations has more value than anything.
That is philosophical.
We can't give her back.
What right do you have to say so?
How are you related to her?
When she grows up, she'll ask you
about her parents.
Do you think she'll agree if you tell her
that the three of you are her parents?
She will leave you and go in search of her parents.
Not just that, she will start hating you from that day.
Do you know why?
For separating her from her parents for so long.
Shall I ask you something?
This fun part will be over soon.
All of you will get married.
You will have children.
Will you sacrifice all that for this child?
Never.
It is wise to not interfere in the path of destiny.
Tell me. Do you really want that innocent woman to curse you?
I just said what I had to.
It's up to you to make a decision.
'Who is Granny Kingini?'
'Granny Kingini!'
Dear!
Please forgive us.
We had no intentions to hurt you
while being adamant that we won't hand her over. Even though she
isn't related to us by blood, she means the world to us.
It hurts to be separated from her.
But we feel happy now.
Our Kingini has her mom and dad with her now.
No matter what
the two of you should always be together for Kingini's sake.
Promise?
I shall get down here.
Thank you.
I won't break the promise I made.
I..
I won't..
I and our daughter won't bother you ever again.
Shouldn't we keep the promise hat we made to them?
"Our dear baby is ready to sleep."
"Even if we are tempted by life"
"even if the Gods want you"
"we won't let go of you. We will take care of you."
"When your feet grow, when your tender hands grow.."
"We shall gift you. We shall decorate you."
"We shall gift you. We shall decorate you with wealth."
"The mother has woken up in our hearts.."
