'A morning at Puthukkotta.'
We need to win, pull it. Pull it hard!
Pull it..
Come on.
Pull..
Pull it, elephant.
Pull it hard.
Hey, pull it hard. What are you doing?
Move aside..
Look, we're losing. Pull it, Kurukkal.
Don't let us down.
Oh, God! - Pull it hard.
Pull it!
Stop..
Hey, Kochu Thampi.
There is no use in pulling like this, you might hurt yourself.
He is an elephant from Palathara.
Even your brother, Madassery Thampi
can't defeat us in this tug of war.
Hey, Palunni.
Stop it. It's easy for anyone to boast. - Yes.
I bet that I would defeat you and your elephant
in this tug of war.
Oh! Then pull!
Come on. - Pull! - Pull!
Let's pull.
Hey, Kochu Thampi.
It's better for you to accept your defeat.
The elephant from Palathara will bring the flag pole.
Hey, Sreedharanunni.
We won't even let your elephant touch the flag pole.
We have powerful men
who can bring the flag pole.
If you're that powerful, prove it in the game.
Yes, we'll defeat you. - Pull it hard!
Pull!
Pull! - Pull it hard! - Pull it, Kochukeshavan.
Pull it hard.
We might lose.
Dasan, give it to me.
Will this work out?
Yes. All of you can have a banana to boost up.
Yes.
Don't touch the banana, it's a trick.
They have brought bananas.
Keep away those bananas, scoundrel!
Yes, here you go. Here you go.
Okay, throw them, but don't eat.
Yes.. - Keshavan! We're screwed.
Yes! We won!
We won! Madassery won!
Damn! Stop it!
Rascals! - We won..
Madassery won!
We defeated Palathara.
No.. I won't accept this.
This is cheating. You tricked my elephant by showing the bananas.
We brought this for our people
and it's your problem that you cannot deal with it.
We will bring the flag pole and conduct the festival.
Madassery will conduct it! - Then do it if you dare.
Didn't you see how three people died during the last festival?
We'll round it up to ten this year.
Then all the ten would be from Palathara. - We shall see.
You won't be able to see it.
Because you'll be one among those ten.
Then why should we wait till the festival?
Let's do it now.
Don't just stand there. Go and scare the elephant. - Okay.
Oh, no! Run!
'PUTHUKKOTTAYILE PUTHUMANAVALAN'
Boss..
Boss! - What's it?
Our elephant hospitalised 15 people.
That's great!
But those 15 were our men. - What?
Go and ready our Karate fighters.
We must beat up all the men of Madassery during the festival.
What's this? Are you learning Karate?
This is not Karate. I'm having asthma.
It has increased.
They are too loud.
Ask them to stop.
'Police Station. Puthukkotta.'
Hey, a policeman must know how to hit his target.
Even the poets have penned about aim.
"The dreams that flew without any particular aim."
Sir! - Yes. - Why does everyone close one eye when they aim?
How can we see the target if we close both of our eyes?
"He escaped from the prison.."
- Ma'am!
Where is Mr. Pillai? - He is in the prayer hall.
It's obvious that he's worried.
Mr. Thampi is going to be hanged tomorrow, right?
No, they can't kill him. He escaped.
What? What did you say? - Mr. Pillai.
Thampi escaped from the jail.
Goddess of Puthukkotta, you heard my prayers.
Hey, did you hear the news?
Advocate Govindan had phoned.
Madassery Thampi will be coming to the festival.
To seek vengeance upon Palathara.
Then this festival is going to be the best one ever.
'Storytellers Ganabhooshanam Cochin Brothers.'
Hello. Yes.
Ganabhooshanam Sathish Cochin speaking.
Where is the other guy? I need to speak with him.
No, he's not available.
Listen, I'm one among the two of Cochin Brothers.
You can talk to me.
Okay, I will talk to you then. - Yes, tell me. - You rascal!
We will break your limbs and.. - Is this the matter?
Well, I will call him. I'll call him.
Girish Cochin, you have a call.
Who is it? - I think it's one of your fans.
Oh! I'm fed up of these fans.
Hey, both of us perform together, don't we? - Yes.
Then why is it always me who gets the fans?
That's what I'm thinking.
I will give you some of my fans if you want. - No, thanks.
You can have all of them.
Go. - Oh! - What's wrong?
It's better to keep your things safe.
Otherwise, some idiot wearing a red shirt might use it.
Yes, Ganabhooshanam Girish Cochin speaking. - You rascal!
Hello. - This is Soman, the convenor of Kalakshetra.
I see.
I thought it was not you.
Enough!
Come to us with the advance we paid you.
Got it, you scumbag?
Sir.. - My foot!
The greatest of fans, are they not?
Who was it?
The people who booked the next week's show.
Really? What did he say?
Bloody son of a bitch!
I'll whack your eyes off!
These were his exact words. He wants the money back.
Go ahead then.
Come with me. - No! That won't be right.
Why? - Sumathi.. - Yes?
She gave me a smile this morning.
I should try to woo her later. Maybe I'll get lucky.
Go without the makeup, banana breath!
The chicks are here.
Hello!
What is it? - That moron is standing over there.
In the same pose in which he stood this morning.
Get lost, lowlife!
Your father is the lowlife.
Ew! - Ew!
Ew! Shall we go? - Yes.
Nice tyres and seating! Overall, a nice ride!
Drat! - Carry on with ogling and grabbing imaginary things.
It is I who gets an earful!
Were you scolded again?
Yes. - Why are they consistently doing it?
We did not perform. - Our storytelling was replaced
with a mimics parade.
Can't they just say it then? Do they have to scold us?
My tactic backfired.
Which one? - That of saying that we have a history of success.
That we were given awards and all.
Drat! And they figured out the truth, didn't they?
Not only that. - Then?
Some moron told them that people threw rotten eggs at us. - Damn!
Who is that moron who lied?
Once they threw rotten tomatoes at us.
Yes. - Did they know that we were beaten up by the audience?
They know everything. - Really?
It's lucky that we did not get beaten up.
We are not that lucky, though.
Why is that? - We'll get beaten up if we don't repay them.
Let me eat, moron!
I'll bathe after having porridge.
What?
No! My God! Didn't he cook?
You dirt bag!
Green, yellow.. Colourful!
His bloody binoculars! - Don't break it..
Didn't you make porridge? - No.
People must have sincerity.
Boiling sincerity won't give you porridge.
We need real food grains for that.
Don't we have rice? - No.
Couldn't you at least have made some tea?
I am not a magician to make tea out of thin air
without tea dust or sugar. - Don't you have anything else to say?
At least say that you have something in stock.
Yes, I do have something. Just the one, though.
Tapioca? - No.
Peanuts. - No!
A nice.. - Nice?
A nice hungry stomach!
Do you want some hunger? - I have more than enough of it.
Then deposit some in a bank. We can save them for a rainy day.
Shall we go to the tea shop? - We can't go there. We have dues.
We shall go to another place. Take Rs. 25 that you have.
I bought a fairness cream with that money.
Look! - What?
God!
Fairness cream!
Go, cover yourself up with white cement!
I tried that too.
I can smell my burning stomach!
It's not your stomach's. It's the smell of yummy Dosa.
Don't do this when I'm hungry.
Is Dosa an ugly term?
It's really the smell of Dosa.
Dosa.. Warm Dosa! - Me too.
I'll give you. Don't rush! - It's been a while.
Take it. - Come.
Have it quickly.
The warden shouldn't see it.
It's from a fast food place. - Hence the smell.
Aren't their parents rich?
Let them eat. They get a fortune as pocket change.
That's why I'm trying to woo one of them.
Poor thing!
God! - What? - Don't they sleep?
For that, we must turn off all the lights in here.
What? - Ew! - Ew!
Scumbag! Moron!
Let's go.
We can't let this happen. It gets worse every day.
Now they even use binoculars.
I can't even open a window!
Shall we complain to the police?
We can ask their house owner to evict them.
Hey, no need for all that.
Aren't there enough girls here to teach them a lesson?
"I'm neither a storyteller nor an artist."
"I'm just a commoner like you."
Our story does not happen in Kerala. - No!
Not in India! - No! - Not in Venice! - No!
Not even in Japan! - No! - Not in the USA! - No!
Then? - Where does it happen? - In a small village near Ernakulam.
In a small village.
A celestial nymph stands beneath that tree. - Celestial nymph!
That beautiful woman, is standing there
like a marble statue. - Yes.
Who is she? - Who is she? - Why is she standing there?
My friends, she is none other than our heroine. - Heroine!
Why is she standing there in tears?
Why? - She can't make up her mind.
She can't. - Whether to go with Madhu, her lover
or with her father.
In the end, she made up her mind and sang..
"I want Madhu. - Not the father."
"I want Madhu. - I want my lover, Madhu."
Stop! - Upon hearing this, her dad collapsed, my friends.
She laid her ears on his chest in tears.
And she sang..
"He's no more."
"My father.. - My father is no more."
"He's no more.."
"My father is no more.."
The phone is ringing. Answer it. - No.
You do it. It must be your fans.
Hello. Ganabhooshanam Girish Cochin speaking.
Is Ganabhooshanam Sathish Cochin not there?
Yes. I'll call him.
He is not here. His stomach is upset.
He went to the loo many times today. Ew!
Who is this? - I'll disclose that to him.
He's in the toilet.. - To hell with you!
Hello. - Is that you, Sathish?
Yes. - I'm from the hostel.
I.. - Yes?
I.. I wanted to say something.
Tell me. Pour your heart out.
The noise? It was another call.
Sathish, your wife had called.
Wife? No, I'm not married.
Tell me. - It cannot be said over the phone.
I will tell you in person.
At around 5 p.m..
The cemetery! - Can you come to the cemetery?
The cemetery?
Can't we meet somewhere else?
Why? Are you afraid?
Fear? I know no fear.
He is a coward!
Get lost! It was a joke!
So, 5 p.m, is it not?
Okay. Thank you.
Really?
Ew! - What?
One down!
Who was that? - A girl.
She looks like a starlet.
You must understand this!
There is no point in being tall and fair.
You need manliness!
Only that can attract women.
How long have you been chasing girls?
See? They come crawling
at the very sight of me.
That is manliness.
We shall forget the past.
Who called you right now? - I won't forget anything.
You don't need to know who it was.
You'll steal her from me!
You're good at that.
I'm sorry. I have no time for chit-chat.
By the by, where can I find a men's salon?
Will the bear's make-up man from the circus do?
There is no cure for jealousy.
No.. I'll take it.
Yes? Ganabhooshanam Sathish speaking.
Isn't Girish there? - What? - Sathish! - Girish?
He isn't here. When he was done washing my clothes
I sent him to the marketplace to buy some fish.
To hell with you! - No!
Hello. Ganabhooshanam Girish Cochin here.
Who is it? - Do you know how long I have been calling you?
Whenever I call, the other guy says you're not around.
Why is that so?
That moron is always like that.
Tell me. - We shall speak in person.
Would you mind coming to Thevara Bridge
around 12 p.m?
Come only if you want to.
I want to..
Naughty one!
We'll meet in person then. As discussed.
Okay..
Ew! - What?
He too, is booked.
Yes! - Yes! - Yes!
Why did you have to ask me to come at noon in this scorching heat?
Had it been in some park or a beach..
We shall meet there next time. - Time?
Did you say something? - No.
What? - What?
What? - Mind your own business.
What? - Don't threaten me.
Get lost! - Make it clear like that.
This place is as silent as a graveyard!
Why did she pick this place?
Matches are made in heaven.
Maybe hell is where they meet.
Sir, time.. - Earn your bread, moron!
Drat!
Mister, what time is it?
Did you say something?
No! - What?
I didn't say anything. - You did. I heard it.
Okay. - It's 8 p.m.
Thank you. - Get lost.
Welcome.
I've been here for eight hours.
This girl is not punctual at all!
It's okay. I'll fix it after marriage.
Wow! Ew! - Have you been waiting for long?
What is it? - I couldn't reach in time.
I am very sorry.
Was it you who called me? - Darling, I love you.
I'll throw you in the lake, old lady!
I didn't say that.
That girl from the hostel asked me to tell it to you.
Which girl? - The one who sent you this.
Thank you.
Don't make me angry, old lady!
Good Lord! How do the dead live here?
They are lonely too.. - Hello.
What?
You're here to meet a girl, are you not?
No.. Yes.
Okay. She left this here.
Thank you. - Okay.
What happened to your head?
The doctor tied it after the post-mortem. - I see.
I was buried here two years ago.
But this didn't fall apart.
Look at him run!
Even Olympic athletes won't run that fast!
He ran! - Yes! - Yes. - Yes!
My beloved gift!
What?
Was this moron still here?
How did the meeting go? Did you meet her?
I did. We talked a lot, too.
Time flew by.
What about you?
We got married.
Was it that quick?
It was a court marriage. - I see.
We have kept it a secret right now. - I see.
When we announce it and invite everyone
I will call you as well. - Thank you.
But I am sorry. I won't be here at that time.
We will be on our honeymoon in Jaffna.
Go on then. - Okay. - Okay.
Okay.. - Okay..
Snake!
'I love you.'
Oh!
'Dear Girish'
'I am not revealing my identity.'
'Then again, I will give you a clue.'
'My name'
'is in geese and not in cheese.'
'It is in thump and not in pump.'
'My name is in rank and not in bank.'
'It is in geek and not in cheek.'
'It is in lad and not in bad.'
'This flower contains the fragrance of my love'.
One!
Two!
It was brilliant.. - Three! - ...to add chilli powder
to maximise the fragrance of love. - Four! Five! - Yes.
That scumbag roams God-knows-where and comes home
with awful diseases!
'This flower contains the fragrance of my love'.
This is one hell of a gift!
I'm Soman, the convenor of Kalakshetra.
Ew! - What?
F-Fool! - Fool?
F-Fool! - Your father is the fool! - F-Fool!
I'll show you! I'm coming over.
80!
I had no clue that love's smell packed such a punch!
'My name is in geese and not in cheese.'
'It is in lad.' So 'la'.
'Ran-gee-la'. What?
Rangeela? Is there such a name?
What? Isn't that a movie's name?
Bloody devils!
Lad, rank, my foot!
Scumbags!
Stupid box of theirs! Bitches!
'Thu.'
Geethu. Who is that?
Geethu! What? Her?
Stop, Mr. Pillai. - Did you see anything?
Look! - 'Bhasmasura Mohini.'
This will do. Get down.
Well. Look who it is.
Come in. Sit down. - Yes.
Where are you from? What's your name?
Is it tea or coffee?
That's not our name.
My name is Pillai. His name.. - Kunjikrishnan.
We came to book.. - A program. - Yes.
When is it? Where is it?
The place.. - The place.. - It's a peaceful village.
Puthukkotta..
Puthukkotta? Oh, God!
What is it, mister? - Rajappan.
They are here to book a program in Puthukkotta.
Oh, God! - Here is the advance. - Listen.
I will perform for you without demanding for an advance amount
even if it's in Sri Lanka.
But I can't do this. - How much money do you want? - Nothing.
We are not coming to Puthukkotta. That place must be destroyed.
We will decide whether to destroy it or not.
You can go. - Go on.
Then we are leaving. - Okay. - Okay? - Yes.
Are you doing the role of Hanuman in the play? - Yes.
Then you don't need any makeup. Come.
'Bhasha's magic.' - Oh, no! - Listen to us, Mr. Bhasha.
Oh, no! - How dare you come back here?
Didn't you lock me up in a box at the last festival?
That was last year. This is this year's festival.
People are more decent now. - Shut up!
Get out of here! Or else I will turn you into monkeys.
Then what?
Then that magician said that he'll turn me into a monkey. - Me too.
You already are a monkey.
Oh, no! Is this Puthukkotta as bad as you say?
Everything is a bit true.
Even this festival is a way for them to fight. - Listen.
The last magician could only do one magic.
The people performed the rest of the magic on his body.
Is a storytelling event okay for the festival?
I don't care what it is.
Then we will arrange a client for you.
Do they have any experience in getting beaten up? - Shut up!
They are perfect. - Are you sure? - I am.
Yes. God bless you.
We were just talking about you, Geethu.
Why did you come here without informing?
We came here to book programs for the festival.
So we thought that we should visit you.
Come.
Mister.
I came here also to invite you to the festival.
They insisted this time. - Who?
Both of them.
Madassery and Palathara families told me. - I am not coming.
Why should I come? That will only cause more problems.
Nothing will happen. I will take care of everything.
And your dad would come for this festival.
I am not trying to make you sad.
But I had to tell you.
Since the police heard that Mr. Thampi will be at the festival
they have created a big commotion there.
Madassery and Palathara families are planning something.
I heard they are arranging for guns and bombs.
You are the only one who can change their mind.
That's why I am telling you this.
Please come, dear.
You have to.
Don't touch me.
Wow! You are very smart.
Really? - Can't you grow a moustache?
I want to. But it doesn't grow.
Do you know how to ride a bike? - Of course. Why?
I like roaming around on a bike.
I am too shy to take you for a ride.
Aren't you done with secrets?
No. It isn't any secret.
I was just inviting her for the festival. - She will come.
Not just her, all of us are coming to the festival.
Invite the other girls who live around here, too.
We can enjoy the festival. - Kunjikrishnan.
Yes. - You shouldn't stay here that long.
You will melt away here. See you.
Are you going home now? - No.
There are still a lot of artists who haven't kicked us out.
This is my fate.
Hey! Are you coming or not? - I-I will see you later.
Will you be there? - Hey.
If you don't want to come with me, I have an idea.
Geethu, let him stay here.
He will do all the household chores.
Hey! You can call me anything when we are alone.
But if you make fun of me in front of these girls..
Turn your ear this way.
Get lost, you dog! - Turn your ear this way.
What will you do if I don't, Mr. Pillai! - What?
Hey! We have arranged a program at the festival.
Storytelling.
Those creeps next door, Ganabhooshanam Cochin Brothers.
They are doing it. - No, don't do that.
We should.
Geethu, they don't have any programs.
We were just trying to help them.
Yes. - Duck and move!
Jump to the left!
Jump to the right and swing!
Advance and swing to the gut! Go to hell!
Jump and dodge! Point the sword and swing.
Take the stance..
Kurukkal! Here is the chicken fry. - Jump and swing..
Never forget about training when you see food.
Yes. Continue!
I am starving. What a hunger!
Let them eat some, Kurukkal! - No.
They need to get better. The body must become their eye.
Swing left! Swing right! A distraction from the right!
Here it is.
Damn!
Which is this technique? - Bullshit!
You have ruined my chicken fry.
Duck and move! Do a roll!
Turn and swing! Swing low!
Swing low and sleep! You have been doing that for a long time.
All that's changed is your body weight.
But your 'Kalari' never became any better! - What are you saying?
Aren't we the ones
who won in the tug of war for your family? - Nonsense!
We won only because I brought that bunch of banana.
Continue. Make sure not to get indigestion.
The festival is nearing. Start swinging.
Swing! Come on!
Did you book it?
Won't there be programs on all the ten days? - Yes!
Okay. - There won't be any programs on all the ten days. - What?
No one will come. We are very famous after all.
Bloody hell! Why the hell did you go then?
I will arrange one if there is nothing else.
I will burn a man alive. - Is it magic?
No. For real. - Who will you burn? - You!
No one else will burn more faster. - Oh, Goddess!
No! - Are you going to burn him on the stage?
I will burn you with him. - What is it, Kochu Thampi?
Don't you have anything else to talk about?
Pillai, did you see Geethu?
I did. She will be here for the festival.
Didn't you tell her to come here?
Why should I? She doesn't need to be invited to her own house.
I heard that Palunni and Sreedharanunni
said that they will take her to Palathara house.
Let them say whatever they want.
Geethu is coming here.
I won't allow her to go anywhere else as long as I am alive.
Yes. - Oh, my Goddess!
What's going to happen when Geethu gets here?
What?
Oh, my Goddess!
Let me look. - Wow!
Let me look.
Hey!
This is my equipment. - Yours? We had split the amount.
Then we will split it into two. - Go on.
I haven't seen anything for a week.
What's happening? Did she take it off?
She is starting to. - Really?
Did she start bathing? - She will. - Damn it!
Give it to me. Let me look.
Oh, no! - Let me look, please.
S-She took off her clothes. But she put it back on. - Damn!
Damn it! - Why would she bathe fully dressed? Damn!
Why is she doing that? Doesn't she have any decency?
Let me look.
We have to buy one more.
Hey! Stop it! Stop looking at the birds.
He always does this. He always watches the birds.
She took off her dress.
Not dress. Feathers..
The birds shed feathers.
She shed all her feathers and started bathing.
W-Well.. It's in this season that birds take a bath.
Very different types of bathing.
The birds.. Watch your language.
She started using the soap. - Some birds eat soap, too.
You!
This isn't mine. It's his. Bloody creep. Disgusting!
Here! - It's not mine! Only half of it is mine. - The rest is his.
Yes. What?
Okay. Were you looking at the birds? - Yes.
We thought you were peeking through our window.
No! - What are you saying?
Would we do that? - He might do that.
That's why he piled up the bricks like this. - Oh, no!
Get down from there!
What brings you here?
We wanted to book you guys for a show.
Oh, no! Sorry.
We cannot do anything till the end of 1996.
To be honest, we can't even take a leak.
Oh, no! - Oh, no! Why don't you consult a doctor?
Yes. - Oh, no! I am not sick.
We meant to say that we are really busy. - Okay. - I see.
Now that you have come here, let me call the booking office.
Hello. Yes, we are Cochin Brothers.
Will we have a day off this year? - They cut the phone line today
as we didn't pay the bill.
Don't overdo it.
We were so busy that I didn't realise that the line was cut.
So, tell us about the plan.
We want you to perform.
Is it at your hostel? - Damn!
What? - Is it at your hostel? - No..
You have to perform at a festival at our friend's hometown.
Which friend? - Stop talking dirty.
Is it bad to say the word friend? - Yes.
What? - Which friend of yours?
Geethu.
We all are going to the festival on a special boat.
We can go together if you are in. - Yes.
Where is it going to be? - It is a good place.
Puthukkotta.
So, you are coming, aren't you?
Yes. How can we miss this?
Okay, we will leave now.
Aren't you going to pay us a little in advance?
In advance? - Yes.
We didn't bring any money.
We will pay you the entire amount at the venue.
Okay. That will do.
We will go now. - Bye. - Okay.. - Okay. Thank you.
They didn't even pay us in advance.
Don't..
Who asks for an advance payment in front of these many girls?
What is wrong in asking? - You shouldn't.
Why so? - There is a reason behind it.
What? - The programme is going to be in Geethu's town.
So? - Do you know who Geethu is?
How would I know? - She is the girl I love.
Love? - Whatever they are doing
is a part of that love, rascal.
Go to hell!
What do love and storytelling have in common?
"The festival must be filled with activities."
"We need people with props"
"to perform the sacred dance."
"Come and join us in this fest."
"I want to go to the fest"
"and get in the groove."
"She came this way. - We want to have a good time."
"Let us sing songs together. - We want to have a good time."
"Come and enjoy the fest."
"We want to enjoy the fest and play a lot of games."
"When the night is young."
"When the moonlight embraces you."
"I want to go to the fest and get in the groove."
"The festival must be filled with activities."
"The band was playing songs. - We want to have a good time."
"They gave us garlands. - We want to have a good time."
"They wanted to sing really well."
"We want to get in the crowd and beat the posers out."
"When the time passes by so quickly"
"and when the loved one embraces you."
"I want to go to the fest and get in the groove."
Don't make it hard on yourself, Kochu Thampi.
She is going to come to Palathara.
Go home.
Get lost, you scoundrel.
She is going to come to Madassery.
You will only rot waiting for her.
You won't win against me even in your dreams!
Laugh.
Enough.
You are no bigger threat than a fly to me.
I will make you beg for mercy.
That is my town.
That's my mother's family, Palathara.
My father's family, Madassery, is on the other side.
Haven't I told you about them? - Things look pretty tense.
There she comes, Brother.
Geethu is coming.
You can come later. I shall get down first.
Okay.
Hope your journey was comfortable.
Hope you remember the route to Madassery.
No, I don't remember. - What?
She won't remember.
I know that you haven't forgotten the route to Palathara.
That will do. - I forgot that too.
What?
Where are you going to?
There is a place called Malikapuram.
I haven't forgotten about that place, though you have.
I am going there. - We won't let you do so.
Everyone is waiting for you at Palathara.
Let us go there.
Get lost!
She will come to Madassery.
Look. - What?
When did you steal that?
We can have this after having food.
Come.
Didn't you get any apples? - Yes, there are a few in the bag.
What is the use of having such strong men with us?
What is it?
Take a look over there. - What?
Many people are irritating a girl.
They are not letting her go to her own house.
Who are they? - I think they are actors.
Since when did actors get so brave?
They look like the actors from a historic play.
Yes, look at their props.
Which troop do they belong to?
They were talking about Palathara and Madassery.
Then they are some amateur troop.
We have to find out.
Come. - Come, let us ask them.
Go.
Who the hell is Palathara? - What?
Hey! - Wait.
Who the hell is Madassery?
I ought to.. - No..
Don't say another word.
What did you think of her?
Did you think that she has no one to help her?
Geethu.
Be brave. Let me see who has the guts to stop you.
Go ahead. - Move.. - Go ahead.
Oh, God! Things just got worse.
All her friends have come.
I will break that dirty jaw of yours.
What did you all do? - We didn't do a thing.
No, don't say a thing.
I am sure you provoked them.
You are crossing your limits, Anitha.
It is all a joke, Geethu.
You don't know the gravity of the situation.
Let them get what is coming their way. Why are you worried?
Yes. - Yes.
"I'm neither a storyteller nor an artist." - What?
"I'm just a commoner like you." - Aren't you going to get down?
What? Is this the house?
Isn't this enough? - This will do for now.
Do we eat before the rehearsal or after that?
Get down first. - Yes, we are getting down.
Is that a snake in that sack? - No, that is a tabla.
What? - It is a tabla.
Hold this. - You may help yourself.
Come.. - Who the hell is he?
Thank God that you reached here safe and sound.
Why do you worry when I am there?
That's what I was worried about.
I hope the Palathara family didn't trouble you.
They couldn't do a thing.
When I was about to confront them
they came in and confronted them. - Yes.
Well, who are they?
We are Cochin Brothers.
I am Ganabhooshanam Girish Cochin.
I'm Ganabhooshanam Sathish Cochin.
He is not a professional. - Of course, I am.
Please come in. - Thank you.
Wait, let the ladies go first. - What's his problem?
Let them go, you can go after them. - Let the ladies go.
Let them go. - Yes. - Yes.
Come.
There are a lot of people. Hurry up before they run out of food.
Watch the tabla.
Where are you going? - What?
You have to go there.
Are we going to eat there? - Yes.
This is your room. How is it?
It is not bad.
Don't you have an air conditioner?
Well, you can shove that.. - What did you say?
We sent it to our grandmother's house yesterday.
Will they bring it back?
Oh, yes. - It is time for rehearsal.
Bring us food.
"I'm neither a storyteller nor an artist."
"I am just an ordinary man."
"I am.." - Can I ask you a doubt?
Why did you come this early?
We came on a boat. - Okay.
There was no traffic or any other problem.
That was not my question.
Then? - There are a lot of days left for the festival.
Why did you come here this early?
We came here for the food.
Food.. - Food.. - Food..
Food.. - Shut up!
We didn't come here to eat and flirt with the girls.
No. - When we go to a place
we tell the story related to that place.
Yes. - For that, we might have to come early
we may have to rehearse, eat and do a lot more.
Yes. - Which story are you going to tell?
Which one? - A story of this town. - Yes.
Bring us some food.
"I'm neither a storyteller.."
- Stop it..
Who are you if you are neither storytellers nor artists?
Are you beggars? - Bring us food!
To hell with your demands!
Who the hell are you to order me!
You are not the boss here!
Do you think I am the cook here?
Are you not? - I will hit you!
Seems like they've never seen food!
Damn!
What a shame!
They challenged us in front of everyone and left.
I was about to chop their tongues.
But you stopped me.
Sreedharanunni!
Think before you act.
Don't rush.
What's wrong in rushing?
You will fall.
Moron!
They won't show such courage for no reason.
There must be a reason behind it. Find out what it is.
Find out who they are.
Then do whatever you wish.
I don't think Geethu made them say that.
Yes. - Something is fishy!
Who else will dare to challenge the Madassery family?
Let's find out who they are before we act.
That is why I said, let's have lunch.
Let's have lunch and think calmly about it.
Let's eat lunch, have a nap, have a tea and then think about it.
Great! Best idea! - Shut up!
Find out why they are here
and what is their relation with Geethu.
You won't get anything to eat until then. Understand?
Pot belly!
I never thought this will happen.
Anitha did all this.
Have an eye on them. - Okay.
Tell them not to do anything until the festival is over. - Okay.
God!
They are such a big trouble.
Let me see if I can do anything.
Where are they?
Yes.
Hey!
Stop it!
Who gave you the permission to enter here?
Who gave you the permission to lie down here?
Who gave you the permission to massage him?
I was ordered to do so.
Who ordered you? - Boss.
Me? - Not you, him. - What?
Hey!
Don't waste time and do your work.
It is my turn after him.
Are you sick?
It is not any treatment. It is a relaxation therapy.
Is this your father-in-law's house to boss around? - Yes.
It is father-in-law's house.
What? - Yes.
Am I in the wrong house? - No, you are not.
Do you know who he is?
Look carefully.
Who is he? - He is Geethu's groom.
What? - Yes.
Why do you think she brought us here?
Why?
To love.
And to get married.
Goddess!
Are you sure?
I heard it with my one ear.
One ear?
The other one is not working.
But I managed to get all the news.
Geethu is going to marry him.
Are they in love or have they got married too?
Not yet.
They are madly in love.
Let's conduct it.
Shall I go and fix the date?
You may.
But not for the marriage ceremony.
Fix the date for his funeral.
What are you saying, Kunjikrishnan?
I heard it all.
Don't hide. - Who said this?
Your groom. - What?
Your groom.
He said it to Mr. Pillai.
Ms. Bhanu also said that he is a nice guy. Your selection is good.
I liked him too.
"Dear, please turn around."
"Dear, please.." - Stop.
Where were you? - Look.
We stole their instruments.
How is it? - Unlike them
it is rhythmic. - Nonsense!
I had told you not bring them.
One of them says that he is my man.
What does she mean?
Husband.
"Don't tell anyone the essence of your love."
Our entry was grand.
She must be quite impressed with us.
Right?
Not us. - Then?
Just me.
Not just that.
She likes me.
But she is not expressing it.
First of all, let's find out who her relatives are.
And don't be proud and arrogant.
Butter everyone.
You will be rich after the marriage.
But I won't be a henpecked husband.
No matter who she is
my woman should obey me.
I know how to make her obey.
Geethu.
Haven't I told you not to roam around at night?
Go to your bed.
Go. - Hey.
Just mind your own business.
Come out. I have something to say.
Damn! - Damn!
You ruined it.
Are you happy now?
Do whatever you like after marriage.
You're free to take over her property
and transfer half of it to me. Do anything you want.
I will support you.
But before marriage, you should talk to her lovingly
and butter her.
That is ladies' psychology.
Really? - Yes.
Go and appease her before it gets worse.
How?
- How?
Yes! - Yes! - What? - What?
Yes! - Yes! - Yes!
"Oh, the jingling sound of the golden anklet."
"Oh, the sweet voice floating in the air."
"Oh, the jingling sound of the golden anklet."
"Oh, the sweet voice floating in the air."
"In the magnificent dusk"
"will you sing a tune with me?"
"In this meadow filled with flowers"
"will you bloom?"
"Oh, the jingling sound of the golden anklet."
"Oh, the sweet voice floating in the air."
"The melodious music is heard."
"The world is listening to it."
"The stars are twinkling"
"along with the tune."
"To shower the flowers.. - Maids are here."
"To dance with the tune.. - Girls are here."
"The rainbow is here"
"to take us to the heaven."
"Oh, the jingling sound of the golden anklet."
"Oh, the sweet voice floating in the air."
"The imaginations are blooming."
"The angels are coming along."
"The valley is ready."
"To welcome the princess."
"To drench in serenity.. - The moon is here."
"To elevate the mood.. - The breeze is whispering."
"It is time"
"to explore our love."
"Oh, the jingling sound of the golden anklet."
"Oh, the sweet voice floating in the air."
"In the magnificent dusk"
"will you sing a tune with me?"
"In this meadow filled with flowers"
"will you bloom?"
I heard about your arrival.
I came here to meet you.
Are you angry with me?
Why should I?
It is my fate. I have to endure it.
This is not your destiny. You have been betrayed.
Everybody betrayed your dad.
That is the reason I couldn't save him
even after using all the tricks in my bag.
Even the court couldn't serve us justice.
Don't say all that to make her feel dejected, Advocate.
She is trying to come out of it.
She needs to be aware of everything.
She is surrounded by deceivers.
They won't even shy away from finishing her.
It's dangerous for you to stay alone here.
You shouldn't stay here. Run away.
Nobody can harm her here. We are here with her.
You can leave. It's getting late. - Okay.
Okay. Let me take your leave.
You don't have to worry about anything. Go inside.
Go with her.
Who is it? Who is there?
Come here. Come.
Where are you going so late at night?
I had gone to meet Geethu.
Is that a crime as per your laws?
I don't have to teach you about the law.
It would be better if you cooperate with us.
We are aware that you have hidden
Madassery Thampi at an obscure location.
If you know all these, arrest me.
You can lock me inside the jail and thrash me.
You won't get the truth from me otherwise.
Sorry.
You!
Why do you want to know about Geethu's family?
You are well aware of the reason.
Where are her parents right now?
We need to meet them urgently.
To discuss some family matters.
And to take some decisions. - You cannot meet them.
Her mother passed away around 11 years back.
You might have heard about her dad. Mr. Madassery Thampi.
If you find him, the government
will reward you with Rs. 50,000.
He has been asked to serve the capital punishment.
He escaped from the prison.
He slashed and killed someone.
Do you know who he killed? - No.
A person who came with a story like you guys. - A storyteller?
He wasn't a storyteller, but a scoundrel.
He came here saying that he was the son of Madassery Thampi.
First, Mr. Thampi tried to deal with him politely.
Then he tried to threaten him. Still he didn't leave.
Finally, Mr. Thampi had to kill him.
Why did you stop? - Nothing.
Let's go. - Okay.
But there is a talk that he was killed by someone else
and the blame was put upon Madassery Thampi.
Even I believe that.
I know that Thampi cannot kill anyone.
I know it very well.
I was his accountant for 15 years. - Okay.
They say that Thampi was betrayed by the Palathara family.
But in court, he took the blame upon him.
Do you know why? - No.
Later he escaped from the prison. Do you know why? - No.
He has informed that he will attend this year's festival.
Do you know why? - Why?
It's not to celebrate the festival. - Then?
To avenge the ones who betrayed him.
Do you know who betrayed him? - No.
Even I don't know.
If you try to bring your love affair in between this
neither will the marriage happen nor will you leave from here.
Why?
If they chop off your legs, how the hell
will you be able to leave from here!
From which direction did we come?
The story.. - I think we're in trouble..
Didn't I come from that side? Are you trying to fool me? Idiots!
Is he mad?
How long will we wait for them?
There are a lot of snakes here.
Such a scaredy-cat.
Show some courage being a man. Let's go.
They are here. - Snakes?
Not the snake, those two are coming.
Look at this property which I am going to own after marriage.
This will definitely help you to make a living.
They are here. - Let them come.
That coconut tree resembles your head.
Let me sing your song. - That's wrong.
What? - It's not that. - Then?
It's not the one.
"I am neither a storyteller nor an artist."
"I'm just a commoner like you." - Hello. - Hello. - Hello.
Are they the drama artists? - No, they are here for 'Theyyam'.
I see. - Are you here for the festival?
Yes. - Hello.
Is our program before yours or after?
First we will start. Let's start.
Let me start.
The equipment used for churning curd. - Is this the one?
How do you use this?
What is the real method? - I'll tell you.
First, hold it like this. - Okay.
It's not used to churn curd. - Then? - Then?
It's to churn head. - Whose? - Attack.
Don't kill me.
They are mad. Let's run away.
They are mad. I think they have escaped from a mental asylum.
Who smacked you? - He poked me in my eyes.
He kicked me on my chin. - Really?
We had seen them first. So we have the right to thrash them.
There isn't such a rule in karate.
If we get them in front of us, we won't leave them.
Wait. You can thrash from the front and we will thrash from the rear.
Then ask someone to thrash us from the sides too. - Attack.
Oh, my God!
Are you a Romeo to love her?
If you try to have an affair with a girl from Madassery
even your soul won't rest in peace.
Make him understand.
Tighter.
Leave me.
Oh, God!
Catch! Not him, but me.
No, I meant catch him.
Stop it.
Go and thrash him.
Where? - Go there.
Don't harm an innocent. - Stop there.
Stop. - Who are you?
Do you want to marry a girl from Palathara? - Yes.
Then take this.
We will let you marry her.
Varkey, what happened? - A brutal fight.
Come fast..
Come..
One. Two.
Help me..
Stop there.
Sathish, help me. - Then who will help me?
I don't have time.
You want to have an affair with her, don't you?
You won't get a peace of mind without that, will you?
Stop thrashing me.
I will..
Move. Please move aside.
What is happening here? Thampi!
What are you doing? Leave them.
They didn't come here to have an affair or marry anyone.
They are storytellers.
No, we came here to.. - Tell a story.
Can't you say it?
Yes, we came here to tell a story during the festival.
Did you listen to that? - Ganabhooshanam Cochin Brothers.
Did you hear that?
To hell with your drums! Get lost!
Why did you come so early if you are here to tell a story?
Smack him.
Why did you come along with Geethu?
Well, we.. - Smack him.
Why did you stay at Malikapuram house? - Food..
Smack him.. - That's enough.
That's how they work.
They write the story in the place they perform at.
They tell the story of that place.
Can't you say it? - Yes.
We came here early to write a story of this place.
A story of this place?
A story about whom? - About Madassery Thampi.
Yes, we are going to tell his story.
Didn't someone come here claiming to be Thampi's son?
Where did he come from?
Wasn't he murdered? Who killed him?
Who had betrayed Madassery Thampi?
Didn't Thampi inform that he will be here to take his revenge?
Revenge against whom?
This is the story we are going to tell you.
Now who wants to thrash us?
Thrash us.
If you are the one who had betrayed Madassery Thampi, thrash us.
Come forward.
Let's go.
'Police Station, Puthukkotta.'
Don't worry about your aim. I shall teach you everything.
Throw it. - Throw it.
Oh, not enough..
It's not up to the mark.
Throw it. - Should I throw?
You should hit the bottle and the stone.
Not like that. Look.
Throw it like this. - It didn't hit it, right?
That was how you both threw.
Throw it. - This won't hit it.
You have a good aim.
What do you both do? - We are storytellers.
Oh! Now I remember.
Hey.. - Sir. - Come here.
Did you arrest those storytellers?
They are the ones sitting with you, sir. - What?
Are these guys those idiots? Get up..
Will you narrate Madassery Thampi's story?
Yes, sir.
I won't narrate it, sir.
I will narrate it.
This town is already filled with problems and issues.
You need not perform amidst all of this
and start a new problem. - Okay.
If I need, I will call you, you idiot.
Move your hand..
Oh! Don't hurt me.
Do you want to remind the townsfolk of that old story
and increase my blood pressure? - Do you have high blood pressure?
My sugar level is high too! - So is mine.
You both better scoot.
If I ever see you both here
I will break your legs.
Run..
Don't run.
Get in the jeep.
You need not get rid of them.
They are here to perform for my festival.
They will perform.
The police need not interfere in this.
So should thieves interfere in this?
That is why I'm saying that you need not interfere in this.
If you do interfere
I won't get you transferred.
You will lead a miserable life
on this very land.
Oh..
You could have told this to me.
I would have made the necessary arrangements for you. - Damn!
This is our style. We do everything secretly.
We even compose songs out of secrets.
Haven't you heard the song called 'The dirty secret'?
Yes. I might have heard about it. - Okay.
You should reveal all the secrets. - Okay. - Okay.
You should unveil all the dirty secrets of the Palathara family.
I shall tell you all the stories about them. - Okay. - Okay.
There is no use if you keep nodding your heads.
After hearing your stories
the townsfolk must hunt them down on sight.
Okay.
Oh! - Well
won't they hunt us down as well? - They will.
But if you don't obey my orders
you will be killed. - Who are you talking about?
I will kill you both.
I have decided the name of the story. - Okay. - Okay.
'The insanity of Palathara family.' - Okay. - Okay.
Start the rehearsal. - "I'm neither a storyteller nor an artist."
"I am just a commoner like you." - Stop..
Not here, but there.
Move.
Who the hell does he think he is?
What will we do now?
I don't care.
We better befriend her relatives.
Come.
Are you Geethu's relatives? - Yes.
How are you related to Geethu?
I am her grandmom.
She is Geethu's grandmom.
You are so pretty. Bless me.
And you? - I am her aunt.
She is Geethu's aunt. - She is also pretty.
Bless me.
And you?
S-She is our servant. - Okay. - She is also pretty. Bless..
Sorry. Servants have always been my weakness.
What is the name of your story?
Well..
'The insanity of Palathara family..'
Is it?
So it has escalated this high!
Yes, sir. They have started writing the story. - Hey, Vasu.
Did you hear this? - What is it, sir?
Oh, idiot.
They have named the story.
'The insanity of Palathara family.'
The name is excellent. - Damn!
Get them here.
These idiots won't even let me bathe in peace.
How dare you
write stories about the Palathara family?
We will sever your tongues.
We shall show you how insane we are!
Master. - Yes, boss.
We got your point.
I got your point too. - Yes.
Fine.
As you have understood everything
I shall tell you what story you should write.
'Madassery Thampi a.k.a. Bloody Pervert.'
I shall tell you how he betrayed my family
and fathered kids all around the town.
The townsfolk must believe your story and kill him
when he comes here to take revenge. What do you say?
If we do that, they will beat us. - Yes!
If you don't tell this
I will kill you both.
Decide what you want.
At whose hand do you want to die? - I don't know.
Oh, he will settle only after getting us killed.
Why does it taste like milk?
He hasn't had a porridge made of milk. He is poor.
Shall I serve more? - I am done.
Hey, learn from him.
He has already had three serves of porridge.
Idiot!
Will our skin become fair if we drink this, ma'am?
Yes..
If you drink like this, your family will be doomed.
Hey, idiot.
Hey, fool.
Get them out.
We won't, you scoundrel!
You may go. - Oh! - You come out too.
We were having porridge. - Yes. We aren't done.
Get in the jeep.
I will kill you both.
Come out. - Okay. - Okay.
Hey. - Hey.
If you go out, I will shoot you both. - Okay.
Let me see who is daring here.
Come out.
Stop staring and come out.
Come.
Hey. - No, sir.
Hey, come in.
Idiot. - Sir!
I shall take care, sir. - Okay. - Come out.
Listen to me. Get in.
Listen to me. Come out, you idiot.
Get in, you idiot. - Come out.
Get in. - Come!
Get in.
I will..
God!
How dare you hit the master, you dog!
I'll hit whoever I want. - I will..
Oh, no! - Enough. How dare you kick him!
Sir! Spare him to me. - Here.
Oh, no.
Oh, God!
Don't hit me.
Beat him. - Break his neck.
I will.. - Hey, come here.
Kick the life out of him.
You may also kick him.
Run. - Oh, no.
They have cheated us, master. Catch them.
Don't leave them. Catch them, Kurukkal. - Yes.
Chase them.. - Catch them..
Where is Geethu, Mr. Pillai?
Where the hell were you? I was looking for you everywhere.
We saved ourselves from victimhood. - Yes.
Are you in search of wood?
There is a good timber in Vadakkepuram.
It's Mangium. Do you need that?
If you ever talk about Mangium, I will slit your throat.
Oh! - If it's for setting a stage, we have good timber.
Wouldn't that suffice? - Oh! Nonsense.
We don't need timber.
We are in grave danger. - Tell us where Geethu is.
Geethu is inside. - Oh! - Geethu!
Geethu.
Geethu. - Geethu. - Geethu.
Your relatives are juggling us
like some toy, Geethu.
We saved ourselves somehow. - Who asked you to interfere in this?
Why did you go there?
What are you saying?
Your relatives are like my relatives, Geethu. - What? - Yes.
You must let your relatives know of this soon.
Or else they won't spare me.
What are you saying?
Let them know that we are in love.
Why should we keep it under wraps?
What did you say? Are we in love? - Yes. - Yes.
You need not inform all of your relatives now. - Yes.
Your relatives are idiots, Geethu.
So we shall conduct your wedding. What do you say?
Are you both insane? - What?
They brought you here here to get you beaten up
as they could not tolerate your nuisance.
No one here is in love with you. Got it?
What are you saying, Geethu?
I got the blessings and permission of your grandmom and aunt.
I drank milk porridge and got ready for our wedding.
Don't play with my feelings now.
Stop fooling around.
If you cheat us now
two lives will be at stake.
I meant us.
I have said what I wanted to say.
It will be wise if you leave now.
If you stay any longer
you both know what the consequences will be.
Pay them what they want, Mr. Pillai.
So you were lying to me.
You need not stay here any longer. Get lost.
Save your lives somehow.
Get lost.
You! So you brought us here to get us killed. - Yes.
C-Come to the hostel. We will fix you up.
But how will you leave this town?
Oh, don't tease them.
He is Geethu's groom.
Oh, I forgot. - Come. - Leave me.
Spoilt brats like her are always like this.
They pretend to love us
and finally tell us to consider them like sisters. - Oh!
Do you think you both are so decent?
You should be from an honourable family for that.
Enough!
Come..
It's your turn. - Yes. - Okay..
Hey, you..
We are leaving.
Like Anitha said
we both don't have families.
We grew up in an orphanage.
When we left from there
all we knew was music.
That is why we took up this job.
To be frank
we were starving there.
We might have done something bad when we got hungry.
We didn't know that it was a huge mistake. Forgive us.
I apologise for wishing
something that I don't deserve.
Come on.
It's good that we came here.
Did they cover the face?
No..
It's spicy.
They are going.. Hello.. Stop there.
Stop there.. - Where are you going at this time?
We are trying to escape.
People will kill us if we stay. - Nobody will harm you.
Yes..
We will guard you day and night.
Didn't you sleep yet?
It's okay.
Take everything as a joke.
They have left and the problems are solved now.
You should sleep.
But still, we shouldn't have done this to them.
Don't make me angry.
I am upset that I couldn't beat them.
Enough! Please sleep.
We need to hear the story of Madassery Thampi.
Yes. - Yes.
We need to know who betrayed Thampi.
We won't let you go until you tell that story. - Don't do it.
Oh, no. - Kadalas.
What are you doing? Lift them. - Hey.
Don't lift me. - Oh, no.
Oh, Goddess. They are coming here.
I think they got married to each other.
Geethu.
Slowly..
Be careful while putting us down. - Get them down.
Move aside. Move.
You can write the story in peace.
We won't let anyone harm you.
We will guard you for 22 hours.
It's not 22. It is 23 hours.
They will take rest for one hour. - Go inside..
No. Our room is on that side.
Is it? - Yes..
You can go. We will go and sleep in our room.
It will be a trouble for us to go and check in there.
You can write in here. We will be around you. - Yes..
There's no need for that.
Get inside.. - Okay, we will go in.
Close the door.
Is that okay?
Damn.
Sit down.. - Sit down.
Sit down.
Don't sleep.
Posthumous award.
You are responsible for this.
There is no use if you remain like this.
This is not a joke. We are risking their lives.
Don't be like this.
Do something.
How about I prepare some snacks? - Oh, God!
Palathara and Madassery families
have stationed goons around the village. - Yes.
So that they don't escape from here.
No matter which story they narrate, they will get killed.
I will kill you before that.
I will tell everyone.
We should save them at any cost.
What? - Yes.
Okay.
You can't save them by telling the truth.
We need to find another way.
Do you have any plan? - No.
Keep your mouth shut.
You will have some crooked ideas.
Please think and come up with a plan.
Let them escape.
Oh, God. Nobody must have sacrificed their sleep like this.
I have. - You can't do it.
Rascal. - Look there.
Yes.
Who are you?
Where are the storytellers?
Who are you to ask that? - Bastard.
Come and catch me if you are brave, scoundrel.
Really? - Stop there.
Stop there, you dog.
Run and catch me.. - Don't run.
Catch him. - Don't run.
Don't come back if you fail to catch him.
Come here. - Catch him.
Stop there.
What? Nice.
Stop there..
The door is open. Nobody is here. Run.
What?
Oh, no. Where did they go? Hey, stop there.
Let's leave. We should get out of here. - Don't go there.
There are martial arts experts there. Come here..
Oh, no. Come here. - Where should we go?
I will kill them all.
Come fast. - Did we come back here?
What happened? Is everything ready? - Everything is ready.
Please get inside the sack.
It's fun. These girls came up with the idea.
Shut up. I understood.
Are you trying to drown us in the river?
Don't try to trap us inside the sacks.
You don't know about us.
Even the unsuccessful artists
were never forced to get inside sacks.
There is no other way to help you escape from here.
Don't trust these girls, Mr. Pillai. They are cheaters.
Yes. Don't trust anyone.
What?
Hey, the house is.. The house is surrounded by goons.
Get inside this if you want to save yourself.
Get lost!
Dear children, we are trying to help you.
We won't get inside the sack.
We can't do it. - Get inside the sack.
What? - Get inside the sack.
Are we crazy to get inside the sack when you ask us to?
Get inside the sack.
Where is the sack? - It's here.
Come on.
Give me the rope. - Were chillies stored in this?
Raise the sack..
You always needed a moustache.
You could have kept a beard as well. You would have looked better.
Close the sack. - I can't breathe in here.
Keep it open. At least I can watch myself dying.
Hello, sir.
What do you want? Won't you let me be in peace at least here?
Take this. - What is this?
This is a rose. Don't you know? - I do.
What have you put in this?
Is it chili powder or poison?
No. Nothing.
This really smells like love.
It is Geethu's gift.
Lift the sack. Lift it.
Hello. - What?
Do you want to get in? There is space for one more.
You! - Stop talking and close the sack.
What are you looking at?
Let's go..
Come here. - Come here.
Where did he go after abusing me?
He is nowhere to be seen, Mr. Varkey.
I haven't seen him around here before.
Who is he? - We don't know.
Whoever he is, he is really strong.
Didn't you see? He had a wide chest.
He escaped.
Don't just stand there. Go and search for him.
Raise your leg. There is one more step.
Don't raise your leg. There are no more steps.
Oh, no! Get in the vehicle.
Where is the vehicle's door?
This vehicle has no door. This is better than a car.
Haven't you heard about train berths? This is just like that.
Nobody will check you. You can sleep.
Lie down higher. - One person is missing.
He is there. - What about the other guy?
He is here. - What about the other guy?
He is lying there.
You should have told me earlier.
Stop laughing. My bad luck streak started when you got here.
Come..
Come. Lie down on this. It's okay.
What is this? - It's my leg.
Raise your leg.
Are both of you here? Yes. There are two heads.
Okay. Push.
Why is it going the other way?
Why is it on the other side?
Pull it! - Push. - Okay.
They are really heavy.
They've been eating ever since they got here.
Of course they'll be heavy.
What! Why did you stop? - Look over there.
What! - It's the Karate fighters.
What is in the sack? - Cattle-feed.
I didn't ask about your head. - I was talking about the sack.
Is it cattle-feed in both your head and the sack? - Oh!
Mr. Pillai, I'll tell them everything.
No. You don't need to say. I'll tell them.
The performers who came to tell the story, Cochin Brothers.
They are in the sack. Do you want them?
What! - What!
Did you think you could fool me by putting plantain stem in the sack?
We should find them wherever they are.
You could have removed the cloth and showed them instead.
What? This Dhoti?
I meant the sack. - I'll thrash you!
Pull! - My God!
To hell with them!
We should find them at any cost.
We will, sir.
Palathara family has promised to transfer me if I find them.
I need to get out of this place somehow.
What! What is in the sack? - It's a bunch of bananas. Organic.
That's a perfect target to test my aim.
Oh, no! - What!
Oh, no..
Oh, no.. - What is it? - Good aim. You hit the target.
My aim is still on point. - Why is he in the police?
You should be a security guard.
Where did he hit you? - Do you want to see?
Did he hit you in a bad place? - Yes.
Then I don't need to see. - You can take a look if you want.
Oh, no! I don't want to see.
Hold tight..
It's a downward slope. Hold.
Put this on the boat.
Okay.
Hold the other end.
Be careful with that. - We are.
Don't throw.. - What!
What is in this? - It may break.
It's the performer.. - You'll get beaten up. Shut up!
These are cassettes from a concert.
Keep it safely.. - Okay.
Go and help them. - Okay.
Keep it there. It seems like these are the cassettes of gossip.
Don't kick it. That's enough. - I want to urinate.
My God! Why can't I lift it? - I want to urinate.
You can urinate in the sack itself. No one will see.
This one.. - Take and keep it inside. Don't put it down.
What is this smell?
Help me get up. - I am trying.
Did you get the rose from the sack? - Get lost!
Hello! Greetings. - Greetings. - Okay.
Are you crossing over? - Yes. - Me too. - Okay.
We can travel together for some time. - Okay. - Of course!
Why are you in this attire? - This is a new style. - Okay.
And we use it because of the cold weather.
Aren't you Ganabhooshanam Girish Cochin?
Y-Yes.
Aren't you Ganabhooshanam Sathish Cochin?
Yes. How do you know us?
What's your name? - Thampi. - Thampi?
Strange Thampi. - Thampi with a beard.
Madassery Thampi! - Oh, no!
How dare you come here to tell a story about me?
Oh, please don't harm us. We did it to avoid danger.
We will not tell anything.
We're even going to quit our profession.
We came here by hiding in this sack to avoid telling a story. - Yes.
Anyway, you've come here to tell my story.
You can go only after narrating it. - Okay.
There are many characters in this story.
I've escaped from the jail to see them.
You should help me. You should tell my story.
You should prove the truth. - No, we will not.
Even if you offer us money, we will not go to that place again.
We are done with the tortures. - We've stopped telling stories.
No, you will tell this story. You will have to.
It's not possible.
Obey what I say. Or else, you know that
I have a noose waiting for me.
I will get it even if I kill you or not.
My neck..
Stand up! A little more.
See, I did not miss my target.
Were you playing over there? - No, I was just..
Oh, no! - Idiot! - Sir!
Bloody fool! - Sir!
Go and do your duty, rascal. - Okay, sir. Come on!
They left.. - Who?
Those storytellers left. - Oh, no!
Mr. Pillai helped them to escape in a sack.
Where is that Pillai? - In the firework storage.
Fill it properly.
It should go like a missile.
The fireworks should be excellent, right?
It's going to be a battle between
the Palathara family and Madassery family.
Come out! - What is it, Mr. Palunni?
You fraud! You helped those guys to escape, right?
They will come back. They just went to see the river.
I just helped them to catch a boat. - For what?
To attend your funeral? - Why should they attend it?
Did I die? - Not yet. But soon you'll die.
If they don't perform
'Madassery Thampi a.k.a Bloody Pervert' on time
we will cut you into pieces.
Master, don't leave him from here. Come on!
Hey, if they don't come here on time to present the story
'The insanity of Palathara family', I will burn you. - Escape!
Get ready to burn this place. - Run..
Ready!
They escaped even though we guarded them all day long.
The Palathara family must be behind it.
No, that Pillai is behind that.
Oh, no! You are so unfortunate.
I can't bear to see you like this.
Bhanumathi, don't cry.
Think that your husband gave his life for our nation.
Hey, look whether they're coming. - No!
I don't think that they'll come back again.
All the great people have died like this.
Mr. Pillai, do you have any last wish?
I want to eat a banana.
Didn't the doctor advice you not to eat anything sweet?
Aren't you diabetic?
Why should I care about it now?
Mr. Varkey! Mr. Varkey! - God!
Will they arrive near the shore? - No way!
That's true. Come, let's go. - Yes. - Hold me.
Isn't that what I told you?
Mr. Pillai! - Did you bring it? - Yes.
You can eat half of it.
No, you can eat the whole banana as it's your last wish, right?
It's so tasty, but I am not able to eat it all.
How much money did you take and fool me?
I can't fool you anymore, right?
The doctor asked to..
To hell with the doctor!
Oh, no!
Hey, they are coming.
'The storytellers. Ganabhooshanam Cochin Brothers.'
It's time to light it. Light it with fire. - Hold this.
Shall I do it? Once I had set my dad's corpse on fire.
Wait! I will light the fire.
Did you pour the petrol well? The fire should spread easily.
You're going to tell the story I told you, right? - Yes.
Dear art lovers, Ganabhooshanam Cochin Brothers
present to you a suspense thriller
'The new groom of Puthukkotta'. - What?
It's a really good name, right?
"Whoever tells it, it should be the truth."
"It's not good to imagine things."
"What you remember is not the truth."
"You should differentiate between right and wrong."
"Not everybody here is honest. All of us aren't virtuous."
"All of us aren't virtuous."
"Is there anyone without a fault?"
"Is there anyone without a flaw?"
"Is there anyone who hasn't been victorious?"
"Is there anyone who has never failed?"
"Who are the good people? Tell the truth."
"You and we are the people created by the same God."
"Whoever tells it, it should be the truth"
"It's not good to imagine things."
"What you remember is not the truth."
Dear people and art lovers. This is a love story.
This story happens in a beautiful village.
The name of the village is Puthukkotta.
There was a kingly man in that village.
His name is Madassery Thampi.
Another prominent family in the village is called Palathara.
Madassery Thampi married Ms. Sreedevi of that family.
But she died soon after she gave birth.
The child was the beacon of hope for both the families.
She has grown up and become like a princess now.
Dear friends, her name is Geethu.
It is her birthday today. They are celebrating today.
We invite you there.
"Oh, lovely girl, come drenched in rosewater and jasmine flowers."
"Come with a bunch of flowers, pearls and some honey."
"It is the beautiful girl's birthday today."
"Sing for us."
"Oh, lovely girl, come drenched in rosewater and jasmine flowers."
Both the families were living happily.
Like a storm..
Like a hurricane.. - Like a cyclone..
He arrived there!
There. He stepped foot in that village.
The townspeople asked who he was and where he came from.
He said.. - I'm Ananthan. I'm Madassery Thampi's son.
I am the illegitimate son of Malathi from Palathara family
who you think had eloped with someone.
"The mighty and the brave"
"took on the sword and shield of humility."
"Who is this young man? Who is this youngster?"
"Who is this unknown person? Who is this newly-wed person?"
"Whoever he is, he fights bravely like a true warrior."
I'll tell everyone the truth even if you kill me.
Your sister. My mother. Ms. Malathi.
She didn't elope with anyone. She sacrificed
for Geethu's mother.
My mom realised it too late
that he had betrayed her sister too. - You!
You lying bastard! Why are you here?
Why are you telling us this made-up story?
I told you the truth. My mother told this to me on her death bed.
If you want evidence, here it is.
You are lying.
If your mother told you this then even she was lying.
I have nothing to do with her. You are not my son either.
Get out of here now.
You won't live to see another day
if you don't leave by sunrise tomorrow.
The day became night. - It was morning again.
The sun came up. Ananthan was still there.
Yes. He is at Palathara.
Palathara family took him in.
Dear people, Madassery Thampi went straight to Palathara.
Where is he? Bring him out. - What if we don't?
We know it all. You can't cheat us anymore.
When you asked me to let you marry my sister
I didn't know that there was deceit hidden in your intent.
You betrayed us all.
We'll prove the truth at any cost.
What are you talking about? Would he do such a thing?
Stop talking and get out, you bastard!
Oh, no!
What!
Nobody saw Ananthan after that.
The news spread like wildfire in that village.
Madassery Thampi killed Ananthan. He killed.. - He killed..
Come.
Come fast.
Get in quick. Walk..
What is all this? Why should I hide?
The police are everywhere. The court has ordered for your arrest.
Sit here. Sit.
Tell me the truth. What did you do to him?
I took him across the river and told him not to return.
The police and the court won't believe this.
Something is fishy. You should be careful.
You should never get arrested.
We'll try to get an anticipatory bail.
How did it go?
We couldn't get an anticipatory bail.
Since you are evading arrest
they are planning to freeze your assets.
You should transfer your assets immediately to a person you trust.
Make sure you don't get arrested. Go.
Let me see my daughter first. - No. Get there fast.
Take the keys. Go fast. Go.
The Palathara family has a lot of witnesses lined up against you.
They are spending a lot of money too.
But we are a bit lucky. Ananthan's bag was recovered from a tea shop.
It had his clothes and his driving license.
The license shows his blood group. It's O negative.
We'll use that against them. Confess that you killed him.
What are you saying? - Let me finish.
Tell them that you cut his body into pieces
and threw it in the lake.
Tell them that you buried the weapon and his clothes.
Why? - I'll put some blood on the weapon and the clothes
and bury it.
The police will find it. You will get bail once you confess.
What are you saying? I don't understand.
His blood group is O negative.
The cloth will have a different blood group.
The problem will get solved.
I'll take care of everything.
Madassery Thampi didn't confess to the crime.
He was tortured to submission.
Let me present the most important evidence of this case.
This is Ananthan's driving license.
Ananthan's blood group is shown to be O negative in that.
This case can proceed only when the blood groups of the blood
found on Ananthan's clothes and the weapon of murder are determined.
So I request the honourable court to grant him bail.
The defence lawyer presented the most important evidence
of this case.
This is the result of the test that determined the blood group
of the blood that was found on Ananthan's clothes and the weapon.
It's clear from Ananthan's license that his blood group is O negative.
The blood found on the clothes and the weapon is also O negative.
We were betrayed. Someone found out our plan.
Did you tell it to anyone? - Yes.
I told it to Pillai when he came to see me. - What!
Caretaker Pillai betrayed Madassery Thampi.
We cannot say that.
As Pillai had informed this to Kochu Thampi.
The servant at Madassery informed this to the Palathara family.
Palunni and Sreedharanunni came to know about the advocate's plans.
Sreedharanunni.
A story of betrayal is going to be revealed.
Yes. Who betrayed Madassery Thampi?
Is it Pillai? - No!
Is it Kochu Thampi? - No!
Is it Palunni? - No!
Is it Sreedharanunni? - No!
Then who is it? - Who is it?
You bastards! Are you trying to put the blame on me?
Aren't you bluffing stories to flatter
Madassery family and Palathara family?
I won't spare any of you!
I will kill you all.
Get lost from here, scoundrels.
Aren't you ashamed to listen to this made-up story, Kochu Thampi?
Come, let's go.
Let them finish. You sit there.
You are mad.
Come, Palunni and Sreedharanunni, let's go.
Damn! Sit here, Advocate.
Let them finish.
Hey, sit down. - Sit there, you continue.
Continue.. - Stop it!
Stop. - Stop it!
Continue the story!
Ready!
Who asked you to come here?
Didn't I tell you not to come here?
Don't think that you can get rid of me easily.
Don't think you can settle me for a meagre amount.
I know about the illegal transactions
that Madassery Thampi has done in your name trusting you.
And I know about the assets
that Thampi had transferred to your name to escape
from the legal actions.
I supported you knowing all this.
What do you want now?
Didn't I tell you? A decent reward.
I will leave only after I receive that.
Here.
Take this.
You should never come to this place.
If you want, I will come there and meet you.
Don't forget that Madassery Thampi has escaped from the prison.
Also two guys are planning to tell the story
of Madassery Thampi during the festival.
None of them should see you.
Did you get me?
Nobody will see me. I will take care of that.
But you should give me money whenever I ask you to.
Hey, don't forget that you are talking to advocate Govindan!
If I can edit Malathi's photo by adding
in a few wrinkles and grey hair and Photoshop your image with her
to make you Ananthan from John Zachariah
I can easily get you a death sentence
like I did for Madassery Thampi.
Dear, I am playing with law!
Keep that in mind.
Stop bluffing, you scoundrels!
I will beat you into pulp.
Come, guys.
Move..
He is not Ananthan, he is John Zachariah.
He is a culprit who was saved by this lawyer from a murder case.
These are just made-up stories, Kochu Thampi. I don't know him.
The Palathara family is behind this.
Oh, no.
How dare you beat me!
Hey, I will disclose all your secrets.
He is behind all this, Palunni and Sreedharanunni.
Beat him. - Is it?
Oh, no!
Beat this scoundrel into a pulp.
Come on, people.
Beat them all up.
Don't spare anyone.
Kill those two storytellers.
Kill them all.
Move away..
Oh, Thampi! When did you escape?
It's a public place, there is police all around. Escape!
Please don't kill me, it was a mistake.
How dare you beat me!
Did you forget who I am?
I am an advocate.
I can easily imprison you again.
Madassery Thampi is back!
Thrashed him away.
Stared at him.
Escaped from him.
Saved myself from his bad odour.
He held my legs and hurt me.
I got beaten up. I got beaten up again.
Finally, I fell..
Move aside..
Move. Walk! Get in..
You!
I loved you more than my daughter.
I trusted you more than my relatives.
Move aside..
And you betrayed.. - Don't kill!
Yes!
Sir, he got you in a trap, right?
Let's see if we can punish him using the same trap.
Dear art lovers.
It's time to conclude the story.
What more? - I thought the story was over.
Come on then.
Madassery Thampi was proved innocent
and the court acquitted him.
Madassery Thampi asked the Ganabhooshanam Cochin Brothers
what they wanted in return for saving his life.
Then they said they didn't want anything else
but his life.
It means we want none other than your beloved daughter.
After that, everyone in Puthukkotta came to know about the relationship
between Geethu and Ganabhooshanam Girish Cochin.
"The sorrows have vanished and happiness has bloomed."
"We wish all of you a happy life."
"We wish all of you a happy life.."
"It's time for wedding."
"We wish all of you a happy life."
"We wish all of you a happy life.."
"We wish all of you a happy life."
"Happy life.."
'Puthukkottayile Puthumanavalan.'
