'ISHTADAANAM'
Lord Krishna.
Lord Vishnu.
Oh, Lord. Save us.
Bless us.
Lord Vishnu..
I think mother-in-law has finished her prayer.
She would ask for tea now.
Hadn't you served her tea yesterday? - Yes.
I'll serve tea for her today.
Please keep the dough out of the fridge.
Let it warm up a little.
I think the bananas have boiled.
Please take it out as well. - Okay.
Also, keep another round of Idli to steam. - Okay.
Damn! Why am I doing all this?
Mother-in-law. - Oh, yes. - Please have your tea.
I knew that it would be you who would serve me tea today.
I can't bear to watch the three of you
competing to prove your love for me.
It's just sad that my husband died.
Why do you always think about that?
Have your tea.
Oh, God! What has happened to your leg?
Oh, I had a small muscle cramp.
I happened to tell it to her. Enough, dear.
Uma and I are there to take care of the household work.
Isn't Dhanapalan up yet, Shakuntala?
He wouldn't start his day unless the tea is served to him.
You should have served him first.
Doesn't he have work today?
I'll give him right away. - Okay.
Ouch. Slowly.
Hey. Wake up! - Hey.
Your brother's wife is always with mother-in-law.
Celina has been massaging her legs since morning.
Doesn't mother need someone with her since she is ageing?
I don't think it's out of love. - What?
I don't think it's out of love. - Then what is it?
I know what she's up to!
Why does that matter? Mother treats everyone equally.
That's your understanding.
Mom prefers her, who belongs to another religion
over me and Uma who hail from respectable families.
Whatever it is, she is still her daughter-in-law.
Just because Dharmapalan married her
how can mom abandon him?
Listen.
Manikkyamangalam is also a respectable family.
Until now, nobody in our family's generation
has flattered about themselves.
My mom only knows to love.
It wasn't caste or religion that mattered to her.
If religion and caste mattered to her
she wouldn't have accepted to Dharmapalan's relation. - Oh.
Some people can't stand opinions regarding their mom.
I beg your pardon? - I'm done talking! - That's better.
You always put on a grumpy face while bringing tea every morning
and you will have lots to complain about.
Give it here. - I wasn't finished yet.
That's enough for today. - Hey.
Where did he go after leaving the books on the bed?
I'm right here, Celina.
Oh, you were here!
Don't you need to get fresh in the morning?
Don't I do that every day?
This house won't fall apart in case I break my routine.
The trial of that sensational case begins today.
I had to refer a lot of books to get a good law point.
How much would you earn if you win this case?
Forget about the fees.
My career will be at stake if I lose this case.
I am appearing for an accused who had committed two murders.
And his henchmen wouldn't hesitate to kill me.
Oh, no.
You should have taken the fees earlier.
You're such a money minded woman!
Regardless of what happens to you, I should live my life.
It's always good to have some savings.
This is exactly how wives must treat their husband.
I'm happy now.
Why don't you get the breakfast ready? Go on now.
You didn't have to go through this trouble. - I'm fine, dear.
It's a must for me that I serve them food until my last day.
Or else, it bothers me a lot.
That's true. Even we feel restless when she doesn't serve us food.
It was Celina who served me food
when mom wasn't keeping well.
And I ended up losing all the cases I had taken up.
Don't get upset, Celina. He was just joking.
It's no wonder that you end up losing cases.
Probably this is how you present your cases in court.
You have got that wrong, Celina.
I have seen him defending his clients in the court.
He is too good at his work.
Doesn't that explain how Celina fell for him?
No, Brother. It was me who had fallen for her.
Wasn't she after me for so long? - Will you cut it out?
Why're you trying to get on her nerves?
If I don't give her a peace of my mind at times, won't her
family mistake me for a loser? - They have already begun to.
That's true. - She wants to control everything.
Don't let her hear you.
Uma, where is Sathyapalan? Did he say that he would be late?
No. - He should've been back by now.
Sir. Mr. Sathyapalan?
It's already dawn.
Our customers would be here soon.
It will be embarrassing if they see you like this!
Will you please get up?
Hey! He wouldn't be sober.
Why don't you pour some water on his face? - Okay.
Please get up, sir.
This isn't the police station.
How did I end up here?
Don't you remember that either?
No. Can you help me recollect it?
You said that you had a duty at the mortuary. - Oh, yes.
And that it wouldn't be right if you didn't have a drink.
Hence, you came to have two drinks
and later you got drunk and sloshed.
I see. - I helped you last night.
Thanks. I'm sure to receive a memo today.
Is it right to get drunk during working hours?
If you can serve me drinks while you are working
there's nothing wrong if I get drunk during my working hours.
Don't you dare try to teach me the law!
He is teaching a fish how to swim!
I'll see you then. - Sir, what about the bill?
Your bloody bill!
How dare you charge a policeman?
It's not like I'm going to get a transfer and leave.
I'll pay you tomorrow. God knows what happened to the dead body.
Mom, I'm leaving. - Okay, dear.
I'll be back now. - Okay.
Mom, bless me. - Okay, dear.
Aren't you taking lunch today?
Why should I take lunch
when others buy me food? - You must be back by 6 p.m.
We must meet the doctor today. - Oh, I forgot. Be ready by then.
Please do an offering to Lord Shiva before you leave.
We can't depend on the doctor alone.
I have been praying everyday at the St. Antony's Church.
Mom, you just relax.
I'm sure of the fact
that you'd be blessed with at least nine grandchildren.
And we shall offer the rest to an orphanage.
Damn!
Can't you sell this off
and buy a Maruti car instead?
I'm not going to sell it. Dad gave this car to me.
I'll never sell this for any price. It only has a starting trouble.
An Ambassador or a Fiat would not come close to this.
Okay, I'm leaving.
It started!
Oh, yes.
There he is. - A bloody car.
Mom.. - Why're you so late?
I had to attend a suicide case.
I was guarding the corpse all this while. It got sober just now.
I mean, the body was taken for the post-mortem.
Oh.. - You could have informed us.
We were worried. - So was I.
So I had a few drinks.
I couldn't make a call.
What if someone steals the dead body while I am away?
Who is so desperate to steal a corpse?
Why wouldn't anyone buy it when it's so costly now?
What is costly now? - O-Organs are really costly today.
People wouldn't hesitate to steal it.
Let me take a shower. I stink. - Why is that?
Did you happen to carry the corpse? - I didn't.
I was forced to. Right over the head. That's how I fell.
What time is your duty? - I'm having night duty.
What? - Thank God.
Why is the egg so small? - Will you shut up?
Your mom would come here. - Okay.
Please don't give her a wrong impression about me.
I couldn't get you a duck egg.
I struggled to get you a chicken's egg.
Don't they lay eggs anymore?
Celina was asking the other night
how the eggs got finished so soon.
Are they suspicious? - No.
You must be careful. - Okay.
Or else, when the accounts of the expenses comes up
I'd have to pay for these eggs.
Don't put me in trouble.
Why are we adjusting in this house?
Haven't I been suggesting for years about moving out?
And we can live according to our wish.
I can't afford to upset my mom.
Let's wait until her days are over and then we'll see.
Then why don't you sit on your mother's lap?
Don't ever dream about having kids
as long as we continue to live in this cursed house.
It's not anybody's fault.
Just consider it as fate.
Or else, why would Deepumol leave us so soon?
I was blessed to have her only for seven months.
Whatever be the reason for the unlikely events
how can we ignore mom's wish to have a grandchild?
We have realised that we are never going to be parents.
Our only hopes must be on Dharmapalan and Sathyapalan.
Have you ever thought about what would happen to us then?
I have thought about it, Shakuntala.
But we must adjust to a certain extent in front of mom.
I can't afford to hurt my mom.
Are you only worried about your mom?
What about me?
I'm a woman, too.
Dharma, please leave me. - Okay.
I can walk on my own.
However, I'm finding it difficult to walk alone.
I'm in pain after making the offering at the temple.
So what? Isn't it for a good cause?
Why didn't you ask Sathyapalan to come, too?
Let him also do the offering as he has no kids.
What's wrong if he didn't make the offering in the temple?
His wife, Uma, sincerely prays to have a kid.
However, your wife doesn't believe in our Gods.
St. Antony, please listen to her prayers.
And save me from these offerings, Lord Vishnu!
Hello, Naani. Have you recovered?
Yes. But Lakshmi is not well.
Okay. - This fever is common in almost all households. - Really?
Bed rest is a must for at least a week. - Just a week? - Yes.
Please ask Velayudhan to meet me.
The trial of his assault case will begin next month.
Why are you crying? He won't be hanged.
I'm representing him in court.
I'm not worried about that.
I was gifted with two sons.
But they don't like each other.
Velayudhan won't come home unless Pushkaran leaves.
He doesn't even come to visit me.
Why are they behaving like this? - Exactly.
I have never hurt anyone intentionally.
This is my fate!
It's sad to see them
end up like this. - Everything will be all right.
I want to tell you something. - What is it?
Every woman of this village are jealous of you.
What? - Why is that?
They are surprised that in spite of your sons being married for so long
they all still live under the same roof even today.
That's how I've raised them.
Let's go.
Start talking.. - What?
I'm tolerating this only because I don't want my mom to be upset.
We'll never progress in life if we continue to live like this.
Aren't you a police officer?
Aren't you bold enough to ask him?
It's not because I'm scared.
I've always wanted to ask about it.
Your elder brother is the real menace.
Didn't he get everything to himself
since he is.. - The eldest. Isn't it?
That car rightfully belonged to your ancestors.
He owns it today just because he is the eldest son.
Is that all? Aren't all the antiques placed inside his room?
What do we have in our room except for an old cupboard?
Well, that's how smart people are!
They took over everything they could.
We are just fools.
It's sad to watch my husband use a bicycle.
How is it that only you are left out of the beneficiaries?
Are you saying that you don't belong to this family?
As long as my mother doesn't deny, I'm one among them! - Oh, God!
Isn't your brother a bank manager?
Forget a car, can't he at least buy you a scooter?
Won't we repay the loan? - Talk about the loan..
As if I'm going to take a loan for him. - Yes!
Didn't we arrange a loan for your brother's brother-in-law
to start a business with Rs. 75,000? - Rs. 78,000.
It's been a year that we arranged a loan of Rs. 78,000.
Did they bother to repay at least one instalment? - Damn!
I'm fed up of responding to the questions from the head office.
Why don't you suffer the same for your younger brother as well?
After all, aren't you the eldest?
Yes. Why buy a scooter? How about I buy him a car?
There's one thing.
What? - They won't be able to afford the fuel costs.
They'd have to spend a lot on petrol. - That's true.
Please come with me. - What? - Just come.
What do I have to do with her brother?
I sanctioned him a loan because of Dharmapalan's recommendation.
So, in case Uma or her brother fail to pay
Dharmapalan must pay it. - Yes.
That's the right thing to do. - Yes.
I see. Yes, right! Who would ever pay back a loan?
What kind of a moron is he?
If he fails to pay up, we should file a lawsuit.
Yes, right. She'd file a case?
He is the brother-in-law of an eligible lawyer.
How dare they file a case against him?
Is she out of her mind? Let's go.
Sathya. - Yes. - Have your breakfast.
I'm coming, Mom. - Okay.
Dhanapalan, Dharmapalan! Come for breakfast. - Yes, Mom.
Come, dear. - Okay.
Why are his cheeks swollen?
What? - Do you have a toothache?
Let me check. - It's nothing. He just felt so. - Hey.
Don't you see it, Brother? - Let me check..
Let me check. - Check it, dear.
Yes, it's slightly inflamed. - Yes.
But he's not ill. - Then?
He just got better. - But it wasn't there yesterday.
How can one change in a day? - Please don't make this worse.
I'd suggest that you see a doctor. It could be an allergy.
I can't bear to see you fall ill. - Neither can I. - Yes.
I think they are right.
Meet a doctor once you leave from work.
Mom, I'm not ill.
Are you the one to decide that?
Can't you meet the doctor at least for their satisfaction?
Though you're elder to me only by a few years
you're more like my father.
Isn't that right, Sathya? - Of course.
Why don't you understand that? - Yes.
I can lend you the consultation fee if you are out of money.
Look how they observe you so well.
That's how they care for you.
This must be the same even after my death.
Yes, we would be more closely bonded with each other.
No matter what, we love and respect you.
Yes.. Didn't you notice that a few minutes ago?
That's why I observed you so well.
Why are you crying, Mom? - It's nothing, dear.
I feel content after watching your affection for each other.
Oh, is that why you cried?
Your tears would make us cry, too.
Why don't you eat slowly, Sathyapalan?
I'll have to leave early. I have duty at the court today.
The prosecution is stating that Constable Sathyapalan
forcefully stopped him from breaking the lock.
What is the reason to apply force
on such a lean and weak person?
He is so weak that he can't fight anyone physically.
I have more evidence to prove
that the prosecution is wrong, Your Honour.
Kindly allow me to cross-examine my first witness.
Yes, proceed.
What is your name?
Didn't you hear me? - Sathyapalan.
What is your full name? - Sathyapalan Thampi.
Why didn't you tell it earlier?
What do you mean by Thampi?
Is it your nickname or the name of your caste?
We belong to the caste of Thampi.
We? Who are you mentioning about?
I'm the descendant of the Manikkyamangalam family.
Are you related to Velu Thampi Dawala?
Order.. - How many siblings do you have?
I have two siblings. - What do they do? - They..
What do they do for a living?
One of them is a bank employee.
And the other one is a lawyer. - I see.
I see that your siblings are intelligent people.
How did you end up in such a low profile job?
Forget that.
Will you disagree with me if I told you that
you were drunk on the night of 27th February? - No.
What? - No, I will disagree.
Are you saying that you don't drink at all? - At times..
You would restrain from it, right?
No, I drink only on occasions.
Do you drink during working hours? - No.
Are you sure? - Yes.
Your Honour, kindly allow me to examine another witness.
Yes, proceed.
What do you do, Anirudhan?
I'm a bar attender at Sandhya Bar.
Have you seen this man before?
Yes, sir. - Where?
He is a regular customer at our bar.
When does he usually visit the bar? - There is no specific time.
He comes there during the day, night and even midnight.
How much does he spend on his drinks in a day?
I can't say for sure, sir. - Why is that?
Because most of the time he comes with friends.
So he drinks on other's money. - Yes.
Have you ever encountered
any unforgettable incidents with him?
Well.. Yes.
He once threw up on his uniform.
So he comes to the bar during working hours.
I've never seen him in civil dress.
Note this point, Your Honour.
I request the court not to consider the testimonies
of an officer who can't avoid alcohol even during working hours.
The witness mistook the accused for a robber
only because he was high on alcohol.
As said in the testimonies, the accused was equipped
with hammer, tester, screw driver and other tools
because he's a well-known electrician
and not a thief.
By considering all the witnesses
please acquit the accused
and take action against Constable Sathyapalan
for drinking during his duty hours.
That's all, Your Honour.
Here. - Is that Payasam? - Yes.
Didn't you make tea, Mom? - I'll prepare it later.
Okay. - Have it before it gets cold.
It's amazing.
Yes. - Okay.
It's really delicious, Mom.
What's the occasion?
Dharman won his case today.
Celina usually prepares Payasam after that. - Really?
What's wrong? - It tastes different.
That's the taste of cardamom.
No, Mom. It doesn't taste good.
I can't believe that this is Payasam.
Didn't you tell me that it was good?
I-I didn't. - What? - I was asking you whether it's good.
I can't believe that I had it.
Is it over, Mom?
I can't get enough of it in spite of having three glasses.
Everything came out in a fine proportion.
Did you serve it to Sathya? - He says that he doesn't want it.
Why is that?
Aren't you crazy about Payasam?
Yes, I like it only when it's good.
I can make out when it's stale. - What?
It hasn't even become cold.
It would take a while for it to cool down, Mom.
I like when it's served hot.
Yes. - Yes.
A lot of heat may result in an explosion.
What happened to you? - Do you.. - Yes, what happened to you?
Nothing! I don't want this!
I might puke if I drink anymore.
Let's not force him, Mom. He is already tired, right? - Yes.
I don't easily get tired.
Mess with me, and you'll find out. - What if I kick you?
Isn't it wise to kick you back?
What are you guys saying? I can't follow anything.
We were playing by exchanging proverbs.
Have you heard of a proverb?
A policeman got drunk.. - Mom.. - What?
W-Where is Uma? - She is taking a shower. - Okay. - And then?
Since he was broke.. - What is she doing? - Bathing! - Okay.
Why don't you take a shower as well?
Mess with me and you'll suffer.
"I am your baby.."
Is there anyone named Anirudhan working here? - Yes.
Why are you asking? Hey! Anirudhan!
"Feel like a.." - Yes! What is it?
Come here. - "I am your living.."
"Are you ready.." - He's disturbing my job.
What is the matter? - He came to meet you.
What? - I want to talk to you. Come.
"It's.." - Shall I go? - Okay.
"And you there.." - Come.
What is the matter? - Your mom is hospitalised. - Oh, my God!
The door is not opening.
In which hospital is she? - I will tell you. - Oh, God!
How dare you try to trouble us!
Now you may go. - Oh!
Oh, God.
How much money would your brother
have stolen in the name of monthly expenses?
Around Rs. 500 and some rice of almost the same cost.
You are a useless fellow. - Why?
Why can't you take up the responsibility
of meeting the monthly expenses by asking mom?
It's tough to get mom's consent for it.
Don't dream of making money through that way.
Just sleep.
I want to tell you something. - Let's discuss it later.
Then you will suffer more.
What? - Celina's sister, Stella, will be coming tomorrow.
Oh! - We'll have to pay extra to meet her expenses.
I will teach her a lesson.
Stella! Bloody hell! - Okay.
Okay, how much is it?
Rs. 18. - Oh! Why do you charge so much for such a short distance?
I won't get commuters in return. So you should give me half the fare.
Won't you get any commuters during daytime? - No.
I don't care about you.
I am a regular visitor here.
Take this, it's Rs. 12. - No, I need Rs. 18.
Hey! Take it! - I need Rs. 18!
Better take it and go.. - No.. I need Rs. 18.
I need Rs. 18.. - No.. Take it!
This is the house of a famous lawyer
and a not so famous police officer.
They are famous for their sincerity and loyalty. Just go!
Stupid lady!
Come, sit.
How was your journey? - It was fine. - Okay.
Sister, where is brother-in-law?
He left early to office as he has to appear for a case. - Okay.
Are you doing well? - Yes.
By God's grace, I am perfectly all right! - Thank God!
I always pray for your well-being.
Oh! God!
Why are you both so quite?
Sister Celina told that you ask about me frequently.
Don't worry.
I've decided to stay here until my marriage.
It's okay. You can stay here as long as you want.
I always melt down when someone loves me so deeply.
I always love those who love me. - Oh, really?
Enough! You came just now.
She is like this.
She's a talkative girl!
I've stopped talking.
Get me something to eat. I'm so hungry.
Come.
Kabaddi..
Catch him.. - Kabaddi..
Catch him.. - Yes.. - Kabaddi..
Kabaddi.. - Catch him.. - Kabaddi..
Kabaddi.. - Catch him!
Catch him.. - Hey..
Kabaddi.. - They are playing
instead of studying. - Catch him..
Catch him.. - Prathapan..
Hey.. Is your dad here? - Kabaddi..
Dad, Sathyapalan is here. - Okay. Don't stamp on my leg!
Kabaddi..
- Get lost, you! - Okay.
I didn't say it to you. - Okay. - That's enough!
They are such a nuisance!
These kids call their friends and play here!
Go and play somewhere else! You scoundrels!
Why are you laughing sarcastically?
No, we just imagined about you, the scoundrel.
Don't mock at your dad! Go!
Come. - Please have a seat.
See, this is what happens here.
They are your kids. So they should be mischievous.
You will get to know about it once you become a dad.
Fatherhood has its own pride.
I don't think so. - Okay.
By the way, why didn't you come for duty today?
I was getting ready for work. - Okay.
But then my wife had nausea. - Really?
I took her to the hospital thinking that she is ill. - Okay.
After the check-up, the doctor gave the diagnosis.
I was shocked. - Oh, God!
Is she suffering from cancer? - I could have treated her.
This is something else. - What?
She is carrying. - Okay.
Why did you prepare tea for me?
After all, you are weak. It will be strenuous.
What is so strenuous for her?
I have to struggle.
Still, I have to repay debts.
He is blaming me all the time. - Really?
How can I resist myself from saying it?
If she wants a girl child
I asked her to adopt one instead of having more kids!
This time, it will be a girl.
I'm sure. Wait and see. - I'm waiting.
We can identify it during the pregnancy period itself.
Screening! - Not screening, scanning.
Okay. - Okay.
If it's not a girl, I have other plans. - What?
I will abort it. - Oh, God!
'We are praying to have a baby, but they are simply aborting it.'
What are you thinking about? Have your tea. - Okay.
You spilt tea on your clothes.
There are no coconuts at all.
Last month also there were less coconuts.
It's time to manure it.
Even that's your responsibility.
Yes, I have to do as I'm the one who manages it all.
Why is it a must that you should do it?
We can do it. But the return should be only for us.
What?
What did you think about me?
I always take a good amount as commission
which is unaccounted.
Do you think that you are living luxuriously with my salary?
I am not a fool as you think.
Wait... - What?
What? - Oh! My smart husband!
Smart husband!
You should do one more thing.
What? - Ask mom to give the house and the coconut grove to us
while partitioning the assets.
Why should I tell mom?
Should I tell her? - Yes.
I.. It's tough to tell her about it.
Then keep quiet.
Your brothers will grab all the assets.
She is your mom, you are her elder son.
Can't you ask her to partition the assets? - Oh, no.
You know the situation. Still, why are you troubling me?
In our family, grandchildren inherit the assets.
This is not a written rule.
It's just a practice that was followed by your ancestors.
Can't she change it? What a stubborn lady!
Let her divide it among all the three of you.
What? - Yes.
Hey, you moron.
We will get only one-third of the assets after partitioning.
Now we are managing the entire assets.
We are getting the returns from it.
Why are you not thinking about it?
Okay. But what is the use of telling that?
We don't have anything of our own.
I don't have any hope that I can conceive a baby.
But I would like to live a peaceful life in our house.
For that, we should send them all out.
Even Celina's sister has joined them now.
I just hate her.
I feel like killing her.
Oh, God!
So they started planning things. - It's not just a simple plan.
There's a traitor.. What's his name?
What is his name.. - What?
Leave it.. Listen.
He has some wicked plans in mind.
Even though your husband is a lawyer
he's not as crooked as his elder brother.
He is always busy with his cases.
Don't worry, let me advise him.
If we remain idle, they will grab all the assets.
It's the duty of a woman to advise her man.
Where is he? - He is taking a shower.
Does he bathe at night? - As he gets tired of work
he has a routine of taking a bath at night. - Okay, let him come.
Do we have chicken curry for dinner tonight? I'm getting the aroma.
No, we prepare chicken curry only on Sundays.
What about the aroma? - He takes a bath in hot water.
I think it's the smell of his burned flesh!
What an irresponsible lady!
Yes..
Oh, God! These morons!
Oh, no!
Oh, God!
Oh! It's too spicy.
Give me some water. - Okay. - Oh.
If all the culprits start to gift you like this
we could lead a happy life.
Almost all the culprits I get hold of are poor. - Okay.
They can't even afford a meal for themselves.
I get big catches only once in a while.
Finish it off. - Okay. - I'll wash and come.
Keep it! It tastes good.
They are having non-vegetarian food here.
I can't control myself. My God! - Oh, God! Who's it?
Why did she come here?
It seems she is hurt. - God. - Just take care of her.
She's too wicked. - Hey, Stella..
Stella. - Stella.. Get up. - Oh, God!
I think she's dead. - Stella.. - Get some water.
Get some water. - Okay. - Will I get punished?
Stella. Damn it! She is packing the food now.
The poor girl is dying.
Hey, Stella! - Yes.
Stella. God, she's alive..
Okay. Get up.
Oh, God! My eyes are burning! - Oops, my hands were not clean.
God.. I can't see anything.. - What?
Somebody, please help me.. - Stella. - Hey.
Hey.. - Stop there.. - God!
God.. They both attacked me!
God.. Hey.. Sister..
Hey! What happened.. - Ma'am, I was..
I thought of cleaning Uma's room and got inside
and saw them having chicken fry and 'Parotta'.
They both hurt me.
I won't be able to see now. Is it for this that I came here?
By mistake, I saw them.
Then your son pushed me and kicked me out. - Oh, God!
Oh, God! It hurts.
After that, Uma spread chilly
on my eyes.
Oh, God! Did you hear it?
Would you have been so cruel if she was your sister?
I..
Only a policeman can be so brutal. Cruel fellow!
He is not satisfied with the food we prepare here!
Better you have fast food
every day hereafter. Rascal!
Did you feel like sharing it with others? - Stupid! - Yes.
Mom, I bought it for everyone here.
I just tasted it.. Sorry. I was just testing it to find out
if it was good enough
for my family to eat.
Is it of good quality? - No.
It's of bad quality.
So I threw it away.
He is lying.
After losing my mom, I felt motherly affection from you.
I wished to experience it for a few days. That's why
I left my native and my aged dad
and came here after travelling so much.
But within these two weeks, I got to know that no one likes me.
I am ready to go if they hate me.
But why are they torturing me like this? - Oh, God!
Don't cry, dear.
I will send you back tomorrow morning.
I don't want you to be a trouble for others.
She's not going anywhere. - What?
If my family members don't like her
staying her, better tell about it now.
I.. Nothing.
Even if you guys don't like her, she will stay here.
This is my house. Come, dear.
Hey! Scold him!
Hey! - Yes.
Uma!
Do you have any food left in the packet? - No.
Poor man!
Is your mom insane?
I was asking on seeing her empathy for Stella.
Were your mom's parents Christians? - You!
Shut up!
Better you go and ask the public.
Even when there was untouchability, our family
had never bothered about the caste or background of a person.
We treated them all with courtesy.
Is it? - Yes.
My mom will do anything for someone she loves.
I know that. - Okay.
That's her problem. - What?
Before, Celina tried to take care of her to gain her sympathy.
Now even her sister has joined.
Listen, I am telling you that your brother
will manage the house very soon.
I-I won't ever let it happen.
Really? Then why did you agree when your mom
asked if Stella can be accommodated here?
Tell me. - T-That is.. - Okay..
Better be your mom's baby forever!
Listen!
Even I have relatives.
I will show you what I can do.
Hey, did your dad come for a routine visit?
Or do you have any plans?
Yes.
We have to discuss some important family matters.
Why are you asking? Do you have any objection?
Not at all. - To hell with you!
I don't have any objection.
While partitioning the assets
I had kept aside a plot for myself. - Okay.
I wish to sell that plot and help Dineshan to start a business.
Okay, it's a good decision.
Yes. But to be honest
all my three children have equal right on that plot.
Yes. - I've spoken to Saradha and her husband.
They have agreed with my decision. - Okay.
Now only after knowing her opinion
can I finalise it.
Even I have the same opinion as that of Saradha.
Why would I be against something that would help Dineshan?
Am I right, Mother-in-law? - Yes.
Shakuntala's share has already been given to her.
Still, we must discuss it with Dhanapalan.
He won't oppose it.
He already owns a lot of property.
And this house and land are yet to be partitioned.
As he is the eldest, he would get a good share.
That's more than enough for us. - Oh!
I do not believe in procrastinating things.
Who knows what will happen
once we are dead!
Even you know what all is happening nowadays!
And then.. - I wish to fulfil my responsibilities
before I die.
But.. I was not blessed with a grandchild.
It's all fate!
It's true that you were not blessed with a grandchild.
But that wouldn't be a hindrance
in documenting your properties
in your children's name.
That is the only hindrance!
My grandfather had registered
this property in my name.
He inherited it from his grandmother.
Manikkyamangalam Manor is passed on to grandchildren
rather than children.
My grandfather had registered this land
in my name
even when his two sons were living in poverty.
It has been a family tradition for ages. I can't ignore it.
My mother told me this on her deathbed.
My soul won't be at peace
if I break that tradition.
T-That's true.
But let me ask you something.
What if you aren't blessed with a grandchild?
Dhanapalan won't ever be a father.
I believe that Dharman and Sathya
won't have the same fate.
Assets are to be passed on
to the next generation.
Yes, it is. - Okay.
If Dharman and Sathya aren't blessed
with a child before I die
I would register this house in the name
of my sister's grandchild.
Oh, Jesus!
Yes!
Boost is the secret of my energy!
Unnikkuttan! - Grand-aunt!
Bless me, Grand-aunt!
Bless me. Bless me, Grand-aunt!
Grand-aunt!. - Get up, dear.
Grand-aunt!. - Unnikkuttan.
Dear.
My dear. - Grand-aunt!
Here's the money for the chit fund. - Look. - What?
Come.
Where are you off to? - To see the doctor.
Okay. That's good.
Didn't they say that Dharman could be treated?
Oh, I don't believe that. - Hey!
What rubbish are you saying?
I meant that we have lost all our hopes.
But there's no harm in trying.
Why do you need this bag to visit the doctor? - Well..
We will go to Uma's house on our way back. - Okay.
We'll stay there for a few days.
We haven't seen uncle and aunt for a long time. - Okay.
You may leave now. Pray to God. - Okay.
Convey my regards to Govindan and Devaki. - Okay, Mom. - Okay.
This will do.
Is this how you get ready for bed?
Yes. I started this habit from my fourth birthday.
That's good. - Why? - Even if you die in sleep
you will make a handsome corpse. - Yes.
Have you added cardamom in this milk? - Yes.
It's delicious.
But I do not expect any special consideration
just because I'm the heir to this house.
Treat me like everyone else.
I can't do that!
Do we treat a king and a beggar in the same way? - Okay.
Do as you wish. Just a minute.
What is it? - Do you know to play cricket? - No.
It's okay. I'll teach you.
As you are a novice, you may bowl.
It's called as bowling in cricket.
I'll bat.
We need to make a cricket pitch
in the front yard.
I'll hit six after six
if you bowl with sincerity.
That would make up for the fact that there are no kids here. - Yes.
Go to sleep!
You need to bat in the morning.
Yes. I'll wake up at 5 a.m.
Won't you wake up then?
Will that do? - Won't that do?
You might wake up early
as you are new here. - Okay.
I have filled the buckets with water.
What if you run out of water then?
Will you agree to it if I say something? - What is it?
Shall we try IVF?
We didn't have such techniques in our time.
But that's not the case now.
You just need to find a surrogate mother
to implant the egg.
But Uma..
Can't she accept it?
It's not that. The doctors who examined us
said that both of us are infertile.
So IVF won't work out.
Here. This is the medical report.
I can't believe it! - Oh, God!
We share the same fate, Uma.
You needn't worry.
Can't you adopt a child? - What?
Why don't you try to adopt a child?
Oh, I see. But that won't do.
Will mom accept that kid as her grandchild?
Mom will write all her property in Unnikkuttan's name
once she finds that we can't have a child.
Who is that? - Her sister's daughter
Bhavani's son, Unnikkuttan.
He is there now.
You guys are well educated.
One is a police officer.
The other one is a lawyer.
You must fight it legally.
Divide it equally among you three.
What must we divide? Unnikkuttan? - No.
I meant the property. - I see.
Don't try to worsen things.
Mom would cut us off if we do that.
You don't know her well.
She is really stubborn.
Their family traditions are so weird.
She values her relatives more than her children.
What's the use of saying it now?
Get ready, Uma.
Tell mom that we are all right
and that there is still hope. Okay? - Okay.
Oh! I wonder what Unnikkuttan is doing there!
Stella..
Why is he here?
Were you here, Stella?
I was looking for you. - Why?
Only you and grand-aunt care about me.
With who else can I share my sorrows?
What happened?
My first two days here
were all right. - Okay.
But after that, I have been having an upset stomach.
Didn't you give me milk that day? - Yes.
It didn't seem to digest. - Oh!
I couldn't digest the 'Puttu' I had the day before yesterday.
The chapatti I had yesterday was a total waste.
Even the Idli that I had today morning. It was a mess.
And the jackfruit that I had a little while ago. - Okay.
That too went down the toilet.
Maybe your stomach can't digest anything well.
Try eating Appam. Maybe it would get digested.
Let me try that too. After that, I'll go to the doctor. - Yes.
Okay? - Yes. - Is the hot water for me?
No. It's for me. - Do you take only hot baths?
Not always.
When I saw the wood burning
I felt like heating some water up. That'll do.
Let me go now. - Okay.
My bat!
Why did you ask me to meet you secretly?
I'm distressed, Vishwambaran. - Oh, I see.
Is it because of the test results?
There are many cures available.
Nothing would work on us.
Uma is really depressed.
Also, we are fed up of mom's sister's grandchild.
Shall I charge him with some case and arrest him?
Even I had thought that.
But mom would turn against me if she realises the truth.
She loves him a lot.
What shall we do then?
She will forget Unnikkuttan when she becomes a grandmother.
But how will that happen?
Who there can conceive a child?
God is cruel at times.
How is Ms. Prasanna?
She's feeling better.
She underwent scanning. We would get the results soon.
Won't you terminate her pregnancy
if it's not a girl child? - Yes.
So you would abort if it's a boy. - Yes.
Even if Ms. Prasanna opposes it? - I don't care who opposes.
Can't you give me that child?
What use is a foetus to you?
I don't want a foetus. I want a healthy baby.
Didn't you mention adoption that day?
I had thought about it from that very day.
When we found that we can't have a child
I fixed this.
What are you saying?
It's easy to adopt a child.
But nothing will be better than raising an innocent child
of a family, we know well.
You are right.
It will be an act of kindness if I give my child to you.
It would be easier to terminate pregnancy in its earlier stages.
But once she gives birth, it'd be difficult to part with him.
You already have three kids. - That doesn't matter.
You won't understand a mother's heart.
Even if Vishwambaran hands over his child to us
will your mom let us raise him?
Will your brothers allow it?
What?
They are talking anyway. Can't they talk a little loud?
I can't hear anything. Oh, Jesus!
Will your mom write everything in the name
of an adopted child?
When she sees an infant
if not her entire wealth, she would at least give a portion of it.
She loves kids with all her heart.
Somehow I don't believe it. - Really?
Why are we worrying about it?
Who knows, if it will happen or not.
Isn't that Stella screaming there? - Yes.
Oh, God. Let's see.
Oh, my God!
- What happened?
I was trying to clean the cobweb up there.
It's my room, you don't have to worry about it.
Both my wife and I will take care of it. - I was..
What happened? - This idiot pushed me down.
My back is paining. - You are crossing the limit these days.
I saw the table lying here.
But I didn't notice her standing above it.
There are many such things which you won't notice.
You will get to know about it
when it's the right time. - Oh, God! - Oh, no. - Oh.
She came to stay here for a few days
and is forced to go through all these. That's enough of it.
Drop her at the bus depot when you leave for work.
Should I arrange a police jeep for her? - No. - Okay.
First, give her a massage with some medicinal oil.
We will decide everything else later.
Everyone mind your business. - Come, let's go.
You can come with me.
Such a knave. - Come.
Were you really trying to clean the cobweb? - No.
I have never cleaned the cobweb at my home. Let alone here.
They were trying to secretly plan something.
I was trying to overhear them.
Did you hear anything? - No, before that he knocked me down.
Anyway, be careful. They are planning something. - What?
What happened?
Why do you look dull?
Today we got the scan result. - Anything wrong?
Nothing to worry.
She is carrying twins.
Boy or girl? - Both are boys.
So you are going to give me one of the twins.
Even though I said, I would..
What made you change your mind?
Entrusting you, we even started to plan about it.
If she comes to know about it.. I even gave her the hope.
Thankfully, your wife is going to give birth to two boys.
Can't you give me one child?
You have put me in a very bad spot.
You are asking for one of my sons.
I am not even able to ignore your request.
So, you will give me one child.
Can Uma treat him as her own child? - Yes, she can.
You can trust me.
All our wealth belongs to him.
That's not enough. You need to take care of him as your own child.
You need to raise him well.
You don't have to worry about it.
We will take care of him as our own son.
What about your wife, Prasanna?
She doesn't know that it's twins.
Only Dr. Markose and the two of us know about it.
I don't know how to express my gratitude.
You mean everything to me. - Hey!
What is this! Control yourself.
Please have your tea.
What happened, dear?
Sathyapalan, Dharma
Shakuntala, come fast.
She is calling us.
Shakuntala, Celina
Sathya.. Where is everyone?
What happened, dear?
Where is Sathyapalan?
What happened to her? - She's not feeling well. - Really?
It's the time when cholera is spreading too rapidly. - What?
Please move aside. I'll take care of her.
Uma, what happened to you?
Should we go to the hospital? - No.
It's been like this since the past few days. - What?
But I didn't say this to anyone.
Why didn't you say it? You shouldn't hide such things.
My dear Lord.
I think these symptoms has only one meaning.
Yes, even I felt so.
Vomiting is a common symptom for both cholera and jaundice.
Oh, God!
It might be even because of indigestion.
You ate crab fry the other day. That would be the reason.
I had warned her not to eat too much.
Even I ate it. When will I start vomiting?
You won't puke, but you'll have to go the toilet.
Oh, that happened a long time back. - Oh, shit!
Do you feel like vomiting again? - No. - Okay. - I'm fine.
Be careful. Both are contagious diseases.
You guys are knaves. This is not what you think.
Go and conduct a urine test. - For me?
No, hers. - Okay.
That's not necessary. We can check it here.
That's for jaundice.
If it's cholera, we need to take a detailed check-up.
What about leptospirosis? It's also contagious.
It can be fatal.
How will I make them understand?
Please make these idiots understand
the real cause of these symptoms.
Come and take rest.
If she was pregnant, her face would have looked pale.
Correct. - Even I've puked a few times.
But I don't understand, what made your mom
think that she is pregnant.
She doesn't have anything else to worry about.
So, she will always misunderstand
such symptoms as that of pregnancy.
One day.. - Oh, God! She shouldn't be pregnant. - Hey.
Don't trouble God for this.
None of the woman in her family
have ever got pregnant.
What about her mom? - Oh.
Only she had delivered a baby.
Only after knowing this
did brother and me decide to marry her to him.
You don't have to worry.
The doctor had already told us.
Within two months
I will show her how a woman
vomits when she is pregnant.
Switch off the lights.
Switch off the lights without wasting any more time.
Oh, God!
I can't sit in peace. - What did you say?
I'm not getting peace of mind. Oh, God!
What if that turns out to be true? - Yes.
Listen to me. - What?
She vomited even while having dinner. - What?
There is nothing to worry.
It's because of some food she had.
It's been a long time since he went to check her urine.
The result must have really disappointed him.
He must be waiting for everyone to fall asleep to come back.
Mom was sitting beside her for the entire day. - Okay.
For the whole day, she was there in her room.
How can she act like this for such a silly thing?
What did she have along with porridge? - Mango chutney.
A raw mango? - Yes.
Normally, she never used to eat such things.
That's why I'm getting tensed. - Leave it.
Don't get frightened. Be bold and face it.
Show some patience. Let him return with the result.
Switch off the lights and get some sleep.
Why are you so late?
She slept after waiting for you for very long.
Did you get the result? - Yes.
Please forgive me.
I felt like drinking a bit after seeing the result.
If Uma comes to know about it..
No, don't inform her about it.
Don't depress her. - Mom..
Don't be shocked if I say something.
Uma is going to become a mother.
I'm going to be a father
and you will be a grandmother.
Really?
Yes, she is three months pregnant. - Lord..
It's the report. - Show me. - Finally, you answered my prayers.
You saved the pride of our family. - Obviously.
Let me see. - What?
Give it to them. Let them see the results. - Show me.
Yes, obviously I want to see it.
I gave it to him. - Where? - Come here. - It's here.
Brother. Where is it? Let me see.
Don't push me with your elbow. - Where is it?
Read it. - Wait.
She might be pregnant according to this result. - Yes.
But how do you know that she is three months pregnant? - Tell us.
You are such an idiot. Please give it to me.
They won't mention that in the report. - Why?
I'm the right person to know if my wife is pregnant or not.
Only because you are my brother..
Stop giggling.
You took her to the doctor two months back.
That's point number one.
That time you told us that she was not pregnant.
That's point number two.
Then how is she three months pregnant now?
That..
Well.. He is right.
Stop crying and give us an explanation. - Okay.
Mom, please forgive me.
I lied to you because I love you so much.
I knew that he was making up stories. - Shut up!
Stop crying and tell me the truth.
Shall I? - Yes.
I decided to hide this from you because
I was worried that you wouldn't be able to handle the fact
that you are going to become a grandmother in a jiffy.
Then what made you reveal it now? - What?
Does it mean that you don't care about her anymore?
No. - Tell me.
No. - Then what did you think?
No, I didn't.. - Then.. - Then what did you think?
Don't say so. - Then? - What?
My Mom. - Yes.
My dear Mom. - Yes.
She had carried me in her womb for ten months. - Yes.
I can't lie to her as she waited
the whole night without sleeping.
Sorry, I can't do that.
I can't do it. - Don't cry, my dear.
He is still a child at heart
even though he is a policeman.
Get up. - Don't worry.
Now everything rests on your shoulders.
Remember that we are surrounded by enemies.
It's not easy to fake pregnancy when surrounded by women.
We knew about this when we started out.
Don't forget that we're faking it.
During pregnancy
women begin to develop a baby bump within four months.
Before that, we must escape from here. - To where?
To your uncle's place.
It's the ideal place to hide your fake pregnancy.
But they would be aware of it. - It's better to let them know.
We cannot handle this by ourselves.
Will mom allow us to go? - We've to seek her permission.
If we can do all these, then that's nothing.
Also, according to our tradition, the first pregnancy
is taken care of by the girl's parents. - Okay.
It's too risky to talk about it here.
Stella might be roaming around here.
Then that would be the end of your pregnancy. Let's go.
Careful. - I would've fallen by now.

Wait, dear. - He seems to be really close to you.
He is my sweetheart.
If I am with him, he doesn't need anyone else.
Are you in a hurry to leave? - Not at all.
I'm happy when I sit here.
At home, I need to face that Pushkaran's wife.
I never oppose them for anything.
Then I don't understand why they're behaving like this.
At least he should consider that I'm as his mom.
We can't do anything.
Dear.
Where are..
Oh, no!
Please don't crowd around. Let her breathe some fresh air.
Dear, call your grandmother.
Don't call her, let her sleep. - Let her sleep.
Grandmother.
Are you guys still here?
I am all right.
You never let us know that you are in pain.
Don't cry. - I just fainted due to the impact of that fall.
Nothing else.
When will they discharge me? - After one week.
I am not that ill.
Come here, sweetheart.
No, not now.
Come closer. - Keep it here.
Dear..
Did you get scared?
I am all right. - Come here, dear.
She is not well. Come here.
Don't consider me to be ill.
Dhanapalan, did the doctor tell you anything?
Nothing in particular.
Don't try to hide anything.
Nothing, there is only a small injury.
They will discharge you only after removing the stitch.
Or else we'll have to return for removing the stitch. - Yes.
Is that it? - Yes, that's it.
Still, I think that.. - What?
Anyhow, I should do it someday.
If I finish everything beforehand
I can then rest in peace.
What are you trying to say?
Let's do it at the right time.
Sathya. - Yes.
Bring along a good lawyer whom you know.
Let me hold him.
I will go, right away. - Okay.
Kerala red rice, raw rice, red gram
black gram, green gram, red cowpea
coriander, chilly, fenugreek, cumin
mustard, jaggery, sago.
Uma. - I'm right here. - Okay.
Were you standing here?
Are these items enough? - It's more than enough. - Okay.
There won't be enough people to eat all these.
Why? Is there any strike? - They'd only declare it on that day.
Apart from the neighbours
nobody else is going to attend the feast.
Isn't this the 25th death anniversary?
The number of guests is only declining after every year.
These days people are not crazy about feast like before.
They all had left the day mom wrote this property to Anandu's name.
Even though they didn't return till now
I do believe that my brothers would come here to meet Anandu.
I don't think so.
Do you remember what happened when we went for Unnikkuttan's marriage?
Shakuntala and Celina didn't even look at me.
I got insulted in front of everyone. - Yes.
If not Dharmapalan, Dhanapalan will surely come.
Nobody else is there to take care of him at this old age. - Yes.
He might come.
I had a small doubt when we went
for the marriage at Pattambi. - What?
Shakuntala's niece, she was there on that day.
She's Gauri. - Yes.
I saw her staring at Anandu.
Even Shakuntala was encouraging her.
Isn't she staying at Dhanapalan's house?
That's never going to happen.
I hope Anandu is not visiting them without our knowledge.
Or else why did he go
and invite them to this function by himself? - Why?
Did he get attracted to Gauri?
It's always good to keep an eye. - Should I eye her up?
I'm fed up of you.
Have you lost it?
I meant, we should keep an eye on Anandu.
That won't be necessary. - Why?
He is too shy to interact with girls.
Hello. - Hi.
If anyone needs a good friend, please raise your hand towards us.
Nobody is raising their hands.
Why? - I think you should get down. - What?
Why did you stop?
What? - Look at her.
Who is that?
I had told you once that I saw a glance
of the girl of my dreams.
The girl who just vanished right away?
Yes. - Is she the one? - Don't shout.
Is she the one?
She is not the one. - Then?
She was the one with her.
Are you sure? - Well..
I just saw a glance.. - What are you blabbering? - No.
I'm sure. She is the one. Or she must be her twin. - Damn!
No, she is the one. - Are you sure? - Yes.
Then you need to woo her.
We can get the details of that girl from her.
Yes. - Then go ahead. Go.
Also.. - Damn!
I have told you not to stop me when I'm going to do something good.
I didn't stop you. I just called you.
What are you going to tell her?
I know how to handle it.
In this matter, I'm more experienced than you.
It's not that. - Then? - If there is any problem.. - Okay.
Just signal me. - Okay.
I will escape from here. - Okay. - What? - Yes.
The key. - What? Hey, listen.
Excuse me, did the bus that comes at 10:20 a.m leave?
What? - What?
I was saying that your call will come soon.
How do you know that? - Oh, God!
Come here.
Take this and leave.
Are you waiting for the bus?
No, I'm waiting to have tea.
Girls should be bold like this.
They should be fearless.
I was testing to see if you are capable of handling oglers.
So, you are an ogler. - What?
Then why are you so shy? - Oh, no.
What happened?
Should I interfere? - No.
Then quickly ask her. - Okay.
Where did he go?
He went to invite his friends. - Okay.
Still, after you told me about Gauri
I'm feeling tensed.
Will he go to meet her?
It was you who said that he wouldn't go. - Yes.
He is my son. He won't do that.
I meant, I was the one who raised him.
You don't have to say that.
He is our son.
The child I wished for.
I have raised him as my own child.
I never told that you didn't.
But for a moment, I thought about the past.
I felt relieved only when
Ms. Prasanna passed away and Mr. Vishwambaran left this city
after his retirement.
But now when I came to know that my elder brother
and his wife are trying hard to get hold of him
I have begun to worry.
They can go to any extent to get their hands on our wealth.
We will be ruined if they make Anandu dance to their tune.
Gauri will surely treat us as strangers.
She will surely try to throw us out from here.
We have the right to this property
only till Anandu becomes an adult.
She won't be able to attract him.
My son will only marry the girl
we ask him to marry.
I'm sure about that.
That guy came at the right time to spoil everything.
I had planned everything to find her details.
Damn! - There's no point in crying over lost opportunities.
If her friend is like this
then just think how the character
of that other girl would be. Leave her.
I can't forget her.
I'm not able to forget her
even though I just saw a glance of her. - Really?
If you are so attracted towards her
tell me more about her.
I'm not saying that she is very beautiful.
Also, beauty is something
which can't be explained to others.
I don't know what about her attracted me the most.
Then there is no point in me trying.
I will tell you.

I will find you! - What? - I will find you no matter what!
I will find you no matter where you hide. - What?
Who is he talking about?
Is it the girl at brother's house?
Where did she hide? - Let's go and see.
I will find you. I will find you.
- Anandu.
Son! Anandu!
What is it, Mom? - Who were you trying to find?
What were you talking about? - What?
Yes. You were saying that you will find it. - Yes. - Yes.
I.. I read a novel.
Was it a detective novel? - Yes. - Okay.
Detective Somasundharam said that he would find the criminal.
That is.. - Is that it?
Send him to me, Son. - What?
When I was posted in Udumbanchola police station
I had written the report of a case as a suicide.
Okay. - After getting the blood test report
I proved that it was a murder. - Okay. - So.. - Enough. - What?
Let him sleep. Tell me the rest. - Okay. Go to sleep. - Okay.
Sleep, dear. And then I send the dead body for post-mortem.
Hey! Stop it! I have been hearing this for a long time.
Please hear it again.
Mother-in-law. Forgive me, Mother-in-law.
On every death anniversary
you come to my dreams and call my name.
I made a mistake by not coming here all these years.
Mother-in-law. Forgive me, Mother-in-law.
Mother-in-law..
Uma! Please forgive me, dear.
I wanted to see you
and talk to you for a very long time.
But my husband never let me.
We have fought a lot of times because of that.
Don't cry, Sister-in-law. Let it go.
If you cry, I'll also cry. - Oh, no!
I can't take this. No! - Oh, no! Dear Sister-in-law!
Sister-in-law! - Oh, no! - Stop, Shakuntala. Don't scare everyone.
With whom will share my sorrows? - I'm also sad.
We trusted Dharmapalan and left this house.
We never came back because we couldn't face you.
When Anandu came to me and called my name, I couldn't control myself.
Didn't you see, Shakuntala? We cried a lot that night.
Yes. The bed was wet with tears. - Yes.
Where is my nephew? - It's better not to talk about him.
He never stays at home. He must be at his friend's house.
No! We must not let them go like that.
Things could go wrong easily.
If that happens, there is no point in living. - Oh, no!
I can't even imagine it. - Yes.
My brother must be mad at me.
That's why he is still inside.
Hey, Sathya! Your brother is here. - He is not here. - What?
He has gone to buy groceries.
Really? - And he has no grudge against you. - Thank God!
Don't think anything stupid. - Yes.
Yes. - Do you know her, Uma?
No. - She is Gauri. - Good morning. - She is a smart girl. - Okay.
She is her brother's daughter. - Yes. - She is always with us.
Anandu liked her at the very first sight.
Both of them had a really nice time when Anandu had come there.
Right?
That damn guy didn't come here, did he? - Who is that?
Advocate Dharmapalan Thampi.
He won't come. He has no courage to face us.
That Christian woman is pulling his strings.
Anandu invited him. - Did he?
Then he must have embarrassed, Anandu.
That beggar! - He told Anandu that he would come.
He won't come.
If he comes today, you can..
He is here.
Please come.
When did you get here, Brother?
I just got here, Brother. - How are you, Brother?
I'm fine. How are you? - I'm good. - Okay.
Uma. - Yes. - Where is my nephew?
Anandu! - He went outside, Brother-in-law.
No! Why did you let him go? I came to meet him.
Since he left my house, I haven't even slept properly.
He regrets about it. - Can we forget our family, Celina? - No.
Yes. Come on, dear.
Who is she?
Who is that girl who just went inside? - That's..
That's Shakuntala. - I wasn't talking about your wife.
The girl in the red dress. - That's Shakuntala's niece, Gauri.
How old is she? - How old do you think she is?
How old should I think she is? - Why does her age matter?
No! I was just noting a point.
Do you mind? - I do mind. - What a surprise!
Brother Dhanapalan! Brother Dharmapalan!
Oh, no!
Hope both of you are doing good. - Yes. - Where is Shakuntala?
She went inside. - What are you gawking at, Uma?
Let them in. - Okay. - Let them rest. Listen.
I have cleaned both of your rooms. - Okay.
You both should go and freshen up. - Okay.
Go on. I am very happy.
Go in. - Please get in, Brother.
Go inside, Dharman. - Go in, Brother. I will follow. - Go in.
Go in, Brother. - Don't fight. Go inside. Go.
Please get in. Okay.
Yes.
Give him some hot water to bath.
Yes. - What is it, Brother? - My luggage.
I will bring that, Brother. - Okay.
Hey. What?
Keep an eye on everything. - Okay.
Okay. Bye.
Yes.
'Ladies hostel.'
Okay. - Yes.
Anitha! - Yes.
Who are you? I don't know you.
I am Manikkyamangalath Anandakrishnan Thampi.
Friends call me Anandu.
You can call me Anandu too.
I will decide what to call you. Why did you call me?
I will tell you. If I am not wrong
exactly one and a half years before
on 12th December on a Friday evening at 6:15 p.m
you came to Fashion textiles to shop. Didn't you?
I have gone there a lot of times. - Okay.
I-I saw you there that day.
Do you remember me?
I have never seen you anywhere.
Well.. - What do you want? Just say it. I am in a hurry.
Aren't you a first year B.A student studying literature?
I finished B.A and am doing a computer course.
Well.. You know.. Our lives are..
In the journey.. - Okay. I get it now.
You should have just said it first.
But to profess my love on the first encounter seemed childish.
I wanted to take some time to..
Yes. Well..
Will she slap him?
I will see you later! - Right.
Come. Come on. Come on.
What happened? - She fell for me.
Okay. Get in the back. Don't ride.
You must be in pain.
You dog! - Yes.
Come here. Come.
Anandu. - What!
What do you want? - Water.
I don't have any water. Get it from the kitchen.
No! I have got it for you.
Don't you have the habit of drinking water in the night? - No.
But I snore a lot. - What? I like the sound of snoring. - What?
Keep the bottle there and get out of here.
I don't have anything else to do. Everyone is busy with cooking.
Ms. Uma won't let me do anything. - Oh, shit!
So I thought I could chat with you for a while. - Shit!
Is this a body spray? - Yes.
It smells good.
Don't spray it. You can take it. Take it.
Take it. You can take it. - Let me smell it.
No! Don't! - No! Let me check.
Don't! Go away! - Let me smell it!
No! Go! - Hey! - What are you doing?
Come here. - Don't smell me! No!
Hey! Get lost! No!
Oh, no! - Don't cry. Please don't cry.
Yes. Hey. Okay.
Okay. - Oh, God! - Please don't cry.
Hey! - What?
I.. - Naughty! - What?
Oh, no!
Dad, I wasn't.. Gauri..
The water.. - I was a police officer.
Don't lie to me. - No, Dad. It's not what you think. - Shut up!
I told you not to refill the petrol from Mr. Shehanai's petrol pump.
But you didn't listen to me.
I can't do it anymore. You should do it. - Hey.
This is one of the reasons that I keep you around. Start it!
What? You don't have to keep me around anymore.
I quit this job. See you. - Wait! - What?
You can't quit without giving a notice.
Don't be so sensitive, Mani. - Okay.
This is easy. Let me show you.
I will start the bike before you count to ten. - Yes. Start it.
Yes. - Yes.
One.
Two.
Three.
Okay. Thank God.
Someone took pity on us and stopped his car.
What? - They will help us.
Hello. - What? - The bet is still on. Continue.
Okay. - Yes.
Four.
Six. Seven.
Eight. Nine.
Oh, no!
Did you think that we won't find you? - Who are you people?
I'll teach you a lesson.
Oh, no. Anandu!
What is this? What is the matter?
Someone, please help..
Who are you? - I am Mani. - We are not hiring. - What?
We have enough workers. - No. I am not a labourer.
I am Mani. M.K. Maniyan. I am Anandu's friend.
Really? Are you Anandu's friend? - Yes. - I am sorry.
Hey! What do you do?
I own a T.V showroom in town.
A T.V showroom? - Yes.
But you don't look like it. - Yes. - All the big owners are like this.
They will be very simple and modest.
I'm a very down to earth man. - Okay.
Well.. What's your name? - Gauri. - What? Gauli?
Stop it! Mr. Maniyan. It's Gauri. - Okay.
It's a really nice name.
Gauri, it is fate
that you came to stay here, I came here to see Anandu
we met.. - Who is it? - And someone comes to check on us.
What do you want? - I.. - He is Anandu's close friend.
He is Mani.
What do you do? - I don't want to say that I am unemployed.
So I own a T.V showroom in the town.
Oh! - Is that you, Mani? - Yes.
You used to always come here. But you didn't when we needed you.
Are you still alive? - Yes, I am.
What do you do, Mani?
Well.. I have a T.V shop in town. - Okay.
Isn't Anandu here, mister? - Yes. He is sleeping.
I will wake him up. - Okay. - What?
Who is that guy? - Didn't he say that he is Mani?
His name is Mani.
Is this the truth? - Of course.
We didn't deserve that thrashing. So I wanted to find more.
I went to see Anitha at the hostel.
So she doesn't know anything about that incident. - Yes.
She said that she doesn't have the time for that.
That means.. - There are a lot of guys after her like you.
Did she say anything about me? - She did.
What? - She said that she forgot about it right then.
Pardon me if I'm being rude.
There is no point in going after your crush.
She will never fall for you and you won't ever get her. - I will.
It will happen. - What if it doesn't?
I'll become a heartbroken lover. - Okay.
Don't expect me to console you then. - I won't.
Leave all that.
If Anitha didn't do it, who were those guys?
Yes! - Who? - I am thinking. - What the..
What? - He's coming.
Do you want to see me, Uncle? - I do.
Is everyone asleep? - Yes. - Okay. Sit down.
No. I will stand. - Sit down, dear.
You look a lot weak, dear. - Yes.
He must be sad, Shakuntala.
He was never lucky enough to have a loving father. - Yes.
He was always scolded by his father.
He will always be like a police officer. - That's okay.
Father loves me. - No. You are a good son, dear.
Listen. You should come and stay at our house for a few days.
We will love you like no other. - Yes.
I can easily get you a job. - Yes.
Gauri is always talking about you.
Yes. - What did the astrologer at Payyanur say? - What?
Tell him. - No. I won't.
Tell him. - Okay.
He said that her groom would have the name of Lord Vishnu.
Which means it's Anandan. - Yes.
He said one more thing.
He said that you are the son that we never had.
Dear Anandu!
We don't want anything else.
All we.. What? - He left. - What?
What is it, Uncle? - Yes. Sit down, Nandu.
It's not Nandu. It's Anandu. - Yes. Anandu.
"The world rises from love."
"It seeks love."
"Love is the strength of the world."
"Love is everyone's happiness."
Don't be surprised. I didn't write it.
It was written by the great poet, Kumaran Asan.
I just quoted him for the situation.
Do you know something, Anandu?
When the other couples were caring for their babies
and when they were feeding
their kids in the moonlight
my wife and I
were crying our hearts out.
Please don't cry, Celina. What?
We are not after your riches.
At least on some special days
you should visit us. I'll give you presents on 'Vishu'.
And she will give you gifts on Onam.
Keep this in your mind.
Please listen carefully.
Her sister, Stella, has a daughter.. - Anandu! - Oh!
Dad's calling. He told me to sleep early.
He's very strict. I am sleeping, Dad.
Well.. This is.. - We'll talk about it later.
Hey! You should have said about the marriage first.
But I didn't know that this idiot would leave so early. No!
Hey! Wait.. Stop! - What?
Your crush is here. - What?
Hey! Look there.
What are you doing here? - Why do people wait at the bus stop?
I.. - I spend an hour at the bus stop every morning and evening.
He used to sell lottery tickets. That's why..
I don't care about any of that.
I.. - We were just saying. - I.. - There was a feast
in his house. So I have to help him.
I.. - It was his grandmother's
25th wedding anniversary.. No..
25th death anniversary. The food was great.
Oh, no! Uncle! - Was it your Uncle's?
No! Uncle is coming.
Okay. Come on.
Don't hide behind the tree.
Where is Anandu?
He said that he would come with me. - When did he say that?
He would never say that. He said that he would come with me.
Didn't he, Celina? - Yes. - No. Anandu is coming with us.
He promised to play badminton to make me lose weight.
He must have gone to buy the bat. - Yes.
There is no point in waiting for him. Did he go with Mani?
Yes. He will come late. - Yes. - Should we wait?
That's not going to help.
He said something about going to Ernakulam.
Then there will be just a call in the night.
So we don't have to wait, right? - No!
Then listen to me. - Okay.
Tell him that I was sad when I left from here. - Brother!
See you. - Okay.
Aren't you going, Brother? - I am leaving, Brother.
Come, Celina. - Bye. - Sathya. - Yes.
Yes. - Come here. Who am I to you?
You are my elder brother. - Then you should listen to me.
Okay. - Send him to my house when he comes back.
I will try. - No. You have to send him. - Okay.
Uma. - Yes. - See you. - See you. - Okay.
When can I see you guys again? - Okay, bye.
Soon you will see us again.
Right. - Gauri! - Yes.
Say goodbye. - Okay.
Bye. - Okay. - Yes.
Okay!
Hide somewhere.
Brother! - Like I said. - Okay. - Yes.
Brother! - Okay. See you, Uma. - Okay.
Okay. - Bye.
Thank God. - Anandu? - Where?
He is not here. - You scared me.
He is inside. - What?
Ma'am. - Yes. - Didn't you say that I have a visitor?
He is waiting outside.
Sorry for troubling you again.
When I first met you at the textile shop
I wanted it to be a memorable encounter.
Whenever I thought about a life partner
that meeting came to my mind.
Then I imagined the concept of a perfect bride from that.
I bluffed to my friends
that I will find you someday and marry you.
I had to wander a lot to find you.
I know it was out rightly childish of me to do that.
When I talked to you, I knew that we would never be together.
Maybe I shouldn't have talked to you.
At least there would have been a small hope.
I was on my way to buy medicines for dad.
I wanted to apologise to you when I came this way. Goodbye
I have one request.
Please don't consider me as an eve-teaser.
I will never come to disturb you.
Here. - So have you started purchasing medicines?
My dad is old, so I'm the only one.
Don't you get samples of these medicines from your company?
I work for a computer firm. - So you have switched companies.
That's why you don't come around here. - What?
Have you heard of Mohammadkutty? He passed away.
'Who is that? He must be crazy.'
Rs. 108. - What? - Rs. 108.
Are all the medicines there? - Why do you ask that?
I just asked you casually.
Anandu. - He is out. - Anandu.
Please call after some time.
What is it, Brother? - Where is he? - He went out. Please sit.
I don't want to sit. - Are you angry that he didn't stay with you?
He will come there tomorrow. - No need. - Why?
He is an alcoholic. - What? He doesn't drink or smoke.
That's how we raised him.
So sad. Then this must me a surprise to you!
He drinks and smokes very much.
He's a drunkard.
I was surprised to see him drink like that.
I had the shock of my life!
What are you saying?
I wouldn't have believed it if someone else told me.
I saw it with my own eyes!
You've mistaken someone for him. - I know him well to recognise him.
My junior took me to a bar for celebrating his victory.
I saw him and he saw me. But he didn't acknowledge me.
That made me sad.
Try counselling him. He might change for the better.
He..
Why are you so sad today?
Nothing, I'm good.
I'm having a great day.
Then why are you sad? Ask that Joy to take care of the shop.
Hop on the bike. I will buy you an ice cream to cool you down.
You have already found someone to be your pillion rider.
You used to lecture me so much about love!
You used to say that you believe in true love
and would only love one woman in your life.
But now when you couldn't get Anitha
you fell for another girl so quickly!
Don't stare. Did you enjoy yesterday's movie?
Which movie?
I know you avoided me so that you could go with her.
You thought I would be the third wheel? Where did you find her?
What are you saying? I have never gone to a movie without you.
That too with a girl! - Are you sure?
Do you still doubt me? Don't you believe me?
Mr. Anandakrishnan Thampi.
Can I have a word with you?
Where are we going?
That is for you to decide. - I didn't get you.
Didn't you tell me that you loved me from the moment you saw me?
I have the same feelings for you.

Anandu.. - What is it?
Where is he? - I think he got to know about it.
I think it's better to confess. - That's right.
When did you start it?
It's been about two and a half months. - You're lying.
It's true. - No, Thomas told me that it's been over four months.
Who is that? - Thomas, the owner of Samson Hotel.
I went in there to have tea on my way back from the market.
He goes in there with his friends and makes huge debts.
He repays only part of that.
It degrades the reputation of our family.
So is that it? - Is that a trivial thing?
What are you up to?
It affects the reputation of your house if you take credit.
He gave you credit because he knew that you were from this family.
You should have the decency to pay him back.
Did you pay him? - Yes.
I couldn't let you pay your debts.
Why do you make us worry about you?
Believe me, Mom. I have never bought anything on credit.
You are lying again! I will beat you.
Please stop your police-style interrogation.
Can't you mend your ways?
Don't get angry at your son just because somebody said something.
He won't lie to our faces. I believe him.
After all, he is our son.
Anandu, did Thomas lie to your dad?
My father was a police officer. He can't fool my dad.
Thomas won't have the guts to do that.
He's now retired. So anyone can cheat him.
Mani, this is not a joke.
There is something fishy about it. - What do you mean?
The other day you told me that you saw me
in the movie theatre with a girl. - Did you feel bad about it?
I knew you would confess about it. Who's that girl?
Don't get too excited about the girl and listen to me.
I never went with a girl for a movie.
The guy at the medical shop talked to me in a friendly manner.
I had gone there for the first time. I had never met him.
Uncle says, he saw me in the bar.
And what about the thrashing?
I feel there is some mystery surrounding all this.
What do you mean?
Someone who looks like me is using my name to fraud people.
Is it possible? - Yes.
Haven't you read
that there are seven people in this world who look alike?
I haven't read it, but I believe you.
Then we have to find him. - Yes.
But where do we find him?
Search and you shall find is what you used to say.
We have to search and find him.
What's written in your father's letter? - I won't say.
Read it for yourself.
It's written that our wedding will happen upon his return. - Yes.
I didn't expect your father to agree to this without an objection.
That is not because he has a big heart. - Then?
Because I told him that my lover is from a well-to-do family.
He is wealthy and is the only son of his parents.
He must have cross-checked about your whereabouts.
My dad will never allow me to marry anyone just because I love him.
Do you think my dad would have agreed to it?
So that means you wouldn't have loved me
if I was not from a well-to-do family.
I don't know. This may also be one of the reasons I loved you.
After all, I am like my father.
You clever girl! - Let it be.
I did my part. When are you saying it your parents? - Well..
I'll.. - If you're scared, I'll help you. - How?
As a first step, I will visit your home. - Oh, no!
What? Yes.
Who is it?
Why are you surprised?
I didn't expect you.
It's been a long time. Come inside. - Okay.
Please come inside. - Oh, God!
I thought about meeting you.
Then I thought it might disturb you.
No, not at all. - Well..
I will come straight to the point.
You have to help me. - How can I help you?
I'm financially broke. My children are not successful.
My elder son, Vijayan, is a government employee.
He lives with his family in Thrissur.
My youngest daughter stays with them.
She is pursuing B.A final year.
I have no money to marry her off.
Ajayan is in Mumbai. He has never returned home.
There are rumours that he married a Marathi girl.
Prathapan is also unemployed.
One of the twins is a medical representative.
It's not a big company. - Okay.
I was having the most tiring time of my life.
I'm financially broke. - Okay.
I wake up seeing the Tamilians who come to get their money back.
There is nothing left of my pension after all the expense is met.
I have to pay the interest. You have to lend me Rs. 50,000.
Rs. 50,000! - Don't think it as a favour.
I have no other way out.
You won't believe me irrespective of what I say.
I have my limitations.
We started a business with the share we got. It didn't work out.
We have to repay the bank loan.
Please don't think that I'm disturbing you.
And don't think that I'm forcing you.
I have nothing to hide from you, that's why I'm saying this.
I can't lend you the full amount. Let me see what I can do.
Give me a week's time.
Will you have something to drink? - No, where is my son? - What?
No, your son.
Let me see him.
He is not here. He'll return after a week.
I will be back.
Uma, you should go and stand near the gate. - Okay.
When Anandu returns, take him to his room through the back door
and wait there. - Okay.
Don't come out of the room until I say. - Okay.
Please drink it.
Where's your wife? - She went for shopping.
I'm leaving. - Okay.
I will give you the money at the earliest. - Okay.
Oh, my God!
Prasanna, don't hurt me!
I made a mistake. My children!
What? - Come fast!
Let's go and see.
Dad..
Dad. - Dad. - Dad.
Dad. - Dad.
He is unconscious. Bring some water.
There's no water. You'll have to get it.
Stay here. You should always store some water.
Dad. - This is the problem.
When did this get over?
What happened, Dad?
Move aside.
Why are you using brandy?
It's the best thing to regain consciousness.
Didn't you sleep? - We heard you scream in your sleep.
You woke up when we sprayed water on your face. - Yes.
My eyes are burning.
Tell me the truth, what did you pour on my face?
What kind of question is that, Dad?
I know the smell of every kind of liquor.
I didn't want to waste any time. - Where did you get it?
I got it from your cupboard. - No, it was empty.
No, there was a little left in it. - Let it go. Why did you scream?
I.. I had a nightmare!
Was it a good one or a bad one? - I don't know.
There was a big man. - Was it one of the culprits you manhandled?
I don't remember his face.
You should have observed more carefully.
You! You shouldn't speak to your dad like that. Get out!
Rs. 50,000 is a huge amount. - We'll have to give it.
Or else he will come again.
This time we sent him back. What if the next time he insists
on seeing Anandu? - Don't let that happen.
We will mortgage the gold. - Okay.
There is no use in saying that we're living a luxurious life.
It's becoming very difficult to meet both the ends.
We have come down to that level.
Nobody will believe us if we say this.
We will give him what we can afford.
Mister, someone has come to meet you.
Oh, it's you. Come inside. - Okay.
There is a power outage. - Okay. - It'll be restored after an hour.
You came by the morning bus, right? - Yes.
Please sit. You kept your word.
Prathapan, my friend has come. Please prepare tea.
They prepare the food. - Okay.
When Indira comes on vacation, she makes tasty food for us.
This is Rs. 20,000. I could arrange only this much.
I would like to leave tonight. Will I get any bus now?
You will get the bus. - Okay.
Why? You can leave in the morning.
It is not because I don't want to spend some time with you.
I have to attend to some problem at home tomorrow morning. - Okay.
We will figure out a way. - Okay. - You just came here.
Please relax. - Sir.. - Please sit down.
In how many acres of land is your house situated?
What is the price of land in your area? - About Rs. 25,000.
That's a fair price. - Yes.
That means selling 20 cents will fetch you Rs. 5 lakh.
Do you have any plot to sell?
I have nothing compared to you.
I was talking about you. - I have no plans.. - Tea. - Yes.
He is my younger son, Aravindan.
He looks very similar to your son, right?
Yes. - Okay.
Please have it.
There is something called fate.
When we were in service, there were many shelved cases
that resurfaced after many years without investigation.
That means the truth will come to light
no matter how hard we try to hide it.
I haven't slept peacefully since ages.
I have nightmares everyday.
That is because I cheated my wife.
I have to do reparation.
What reparation? - I want Aravindan to be successful.
He has a found a shop in town.
He can get it for Rs. 2 lakh from the current owner.
He wants to start a medical shop.
He needs Rs. 5 lakh to start a business.
For that, you'll have to help me. - What?
I don't understand what you are saying. - But I do.
When I returned from your house
I met some of my old friends.
I came to know the history of your family.
When I realised that my son is the owner of all your property
I felt vengeance rather than happiness.
I gave you my son because I loved you.
But it was a business deal for you.
What I gained from that was a burden.
You gained all the profits.
I never saw what you did for me as a business deal.
Even I didn't think it that way.
When I came to know the truth, I realised your cunning plan.
I won't allow you to take the entire share of profit.
I want my share of profit.
I know you will give me whatever I ask. - Sir!
I won't ask for more, but you'll have to give me Rs. 5 lakh.
Rs. 5 lakh!
Why should I suffer when I have a millionaire son?
Is it really you who's talking?
No, the dad of Anandakrishnan Thampi.
You have two months' time.
I need Rs. 5 lakh before that.
You know the consequences if I file a habeas corpus writ.
You have two months' time. I need Rs. 5 lakh before that.
You know the consequences if I file a habeas corpus writ.
Something is fishy. My home is in a melancholic mood.
No one is joyful or enthusiastic.
My parents are very upset about something.
Dad went to meet his friend.
He was a changed man when he came back.
What did you decide?
I don't want to. My uncles will blame me if they come to know.
That's okay. I don't want to see my mom and dad sad.
I don't care if it's 20 or 30 cents of land. Let them sell it.
The guy who came here had agreed to give the cash.
He has written a letter asking for some more time.
Try to convince Phillipose for some more time.
I will try.
What's the guarantee that he will give the money? - I'm sure.
He will arrange the money somehow.
That is the relation between us.
Oh, God!
Please don't get tensed.
The deal is not off the table yet.
How did it go? - He won't be able to sign the agreement tomorrow.
He wants one month's time. - Oh, no!
Don't worry. Time will fly.
His son couldn't send the money he had promised.
He gave the advance and agreed to sign the deal expecting that.
Nobody will waste that much money. He will sign it in a month.
That's fair. But nobody understands what I'm going through.
I had agreed to pay the money day after tomorrow.
If I fail to arrange that much money by tomorrow night..
Ask for a month's time. - I did that already.
Do it again. - What?
India has huge debts with the world bank
yet it asks for more time. But it doesn't worry over this.
The creditors know that you will ask for more time.
This is not like that. It can't be repaid.
I don't know if you remember. I once said
that you must decide where we should go.
I was ready to start a new life with you.
But now, I have lost confidence in you.
You were so excited to meet me. But now you are hard to find.
You have all the right to blame me.
I was stubborn that I would see you only after I intimated my family
about our marriage. - Did you lose that stubbornness now?
My parents are not in a good mood to hear that.
They are going through a difficult time. I can't present it now.
I'm not forcing you.
What should I tell my dad when he returns next Monday?
That my lover has no courage to present it to his family?
Don't worry. I'll never come to meet you again.
Anitha, stop!
Come here. Are you Anandakrishnan Thampi? - Yes.
Get into the jeep. - What is the matter?
Do you want to know? Get into the jeep!
Get in.
- Get in!
Get in! - Get in!
Our son. - Nothing will happen to him.
I'll protect him at any cost.
Even if I have to beg! I want him.
He is our son. He can't leave us.
Uma!
It's a group visa. Everybody will leave for Bombay tomorrow.
Brother scolded me when I said that I won't go.
I can't leave you in this state.
What are you saying, Maniyan?
Am I an accused in a murder case?
My father's foes have filed a false case against me.
You had longed for this chance, so you should go.
Earn some money and proudly say
that you are an able person.
That will be an honour for me, too.
Yes, Your Honour. It's been confirmed in the Guinness book
that there are nine look alike of a person.
The similarity in sound and figure is a common phenomenon today.
I don't object it, Your Honour. It might happen.
There are real life incidents too.
If my dear colleague is interested
I have so many stories to share.
I am not a kid to listen to your stories.
As a kid, my mom had told me many stories.
That is more than enough.
Order..
The respected public prosecutor is deviating from the subject.
Mr. Vishwambaran had by chance met Anandakrishnan
who looks similar to his son.
He enquired about his family background
and came to know that he's filthy rich.
This is just a fabricated case to steal his assets.
I object, Your Honour. Please grant me permission
to produce a witness to reveal the truth.
Please present the witness.
What is your profession? - I am a doctor at Vimala Hospital.
Which department? - Gynaecology.
For how long have you been working there? - 34 years.
Are you still working in the same hospital? - Yes.
Do you know him? - Yes.
How do you know him? - I attended his wife's delivery.
When was it? - Around 26 years back.
It's in the hospital records, and a copy is presented in the court.
Objection, Your Honour. - Yes.
He is a busy doctor and deals with a lot of patients.
It's unbelievable that he still remembers
his patient's husband after 26 years.
The advocate doesn't have the right to question the memory power
of a witness.
I have a valid reason to remember him.
What is it? - His wife gave birth to twins.
That too, male twins.
It is clearly mentioned in the submitted documents.
Your Honour, I have one more question to the witness.
Go on, please.
Doctor, do you know this lady named Uma?
No.
The defence lawyer says
that Uma was admitted to the adjacent room where Prasanna
was admitted for labour. Is it true?
I'll have to verify the hospital record to confirm this.
Your Honour, as per the documents submitted and witnesses presented
Anandakrishnan is the son of my client, Vishwambaran.
So I request you to pronounce the verdict
in favour of my client. That's all, Your Honour.
Do you want to cross-examine him? - No.
Your Honour, it's quite easy for a doctor to fabricate
and manipulate documents. He has been practising
in the same hospital for more than 36 years after all.
I object, Your Honour.
My witness is a respectable and a successful doctor
who has been working in this field
for the past 36 years.
I feel pity for my colleague who said such a statement.
Cool down, Mr. Prosecutor. Let him complete.
As I am here to listen to it.
Allow me to cross-examine the plaintiff once again.
Yes. Proceed.
I accept that your wife had given birth to twins.
I also accept the doctor's statement.
Who took the child from the labour room?
I did.
When you returned after buying all the necessary items
you said that you didn't find the other baby.
Yes.
That means you left your wife
and the new born twins alone
to buy the things, isn't it?
Well.. The shop was right in front of the hospital.
As there was nobody to help me, I had to go.
In how much time did you return?
Around..
Are you not clear with my question? - I returned in ten minutes.
One of the kids went missing in this ten minutes, isn't it?
Yes.
What did you think when your child went missing?
Did you think that a cat had taken it away?
Order..
Your Honour, note this point.
Why didn't you file a complaint
even though you were a police officer?
I had informed the SI of my station. I did an enquiry too.
We couldn't find the baby. Finally, we decided
to consider it our fate and move on.
Very good. You are a loving father!
Your Honour, he used to be a notorious
police officer during his tenure. He used to fabricate false cases
and accept bribes.
He had got a punishment transfer from the department.
You may please verify the police documents.
Your Honour, this case is just a part of his cunning plan
to make money out of the rich man
who looks like his son.
Due to some unknown and undefinable reason
my client's son looks similar to the plaintiff's son.
Both my client and his son are innocent.
So I request you to please quash this case as it's irrelevant.
In addition to this, the plaintiff is liable to pay a compensation
for mentally torturing my clients
and for defaming them.
That's all, Your Honour.
Does the prosecutor have any more questions? - Yes.
I have to ask a few questions to Uma.
Please proceed.
Is Anandakrishnan Thampi your son? - Yes.
Did you give birth to him?
Yes.
The questions asked by the public prosecutor
are distressing my client.
He should at least consider the fact that she's a woman.
All are equal in the eyes of law.
Everybody should get justice.
I am asking her questions that are related to this case.
Proceed.
Your husband, Sathyapalan, and Vishwambaran were working
in the same police station, right? - Yes.
Both of them were good friends too. Isn't it? - Yes.
He used to visit Manikkyamangalam regularly, isn't it?
At times.
You claim that Anandakrishnan is your son.
Both Vishwambaran's son and your son look alike.
Vishwambaran is your husband's friend
and visited your house regularly. In this scenario, I claim that
Anandakrishnan Thampi is the son of you and Vishwambaran.
Will you object it?
I can repeat the question if you are not clear. - No..
He is not my son. Oh, God!
I didn't give him birth.
Mr. Vishwambaran had gifted him to us.
Even though I was not fortunate to give him birth
I raised him as my son.
Not as a step-mom, but as his own mom. I loved him.
I loved him so much.
I lied to everyone
because I couldn't afford to lose him. Please forgive me.
Forgive me..
Mom.. - Uma..
Uma..
Uma.. Get up.
'On the basis of the submitted documents, witnesses'
'and Uma's affidavit, the court concludes'
'that Anandakrishnan Thampi is the sibling of Aravindan.'
'Based on these facts, the court rules'
'that Anandakrishnan is the son of Vishwambaran.'
'It's up to Anandakrishnan to decide with whom'
'he wants to live the rest of his life'
'as he is a major.'
Anandu..
Son.. - You may be my biological father.
But I called Sathyapalan Thampi and Uma
as my dad and mom.
Do you think a court verdict can change that?
Son.
I will happily come to meet you and my siblings
with the whole of my heart.
I was enjoying the luxuries which were not meant for me.
The riches of Manikkyamangalam belongs to you.
I am ready to transfer that property anytime.
Let me know when the paperwork is done.
I will come. - Son, you..
I used to call you both my dad and mom.
I learnt the value of love from you.
I won't ever forget it. Once in a while..
I will visit Manikkyamangalam. Just to see you both.
Anandu..
What if I am not concerned about your family status?
