Salutations, your Highness!
Anandu, what about the task that I assigned you?
I have received the resolution from Pazhoorpadikal.
Please read it.
'Respects to his Highness of the Nagamadam dynasty.'
'My apologies. As I am bedridden, I am not in a position'
'to come to your palace and suggest a resolution in person.'
'I am saddened by the fact that our queen has not been blessed'
'with a baby even though it's been a long time since your marriage.'
'I used my astrological prowess to know the reason behind it.'
'The inauspicious period is about to end.'
'The snake gods aren't happy either.'
'A ritual will solve the problems and make your wishes come true.'
'I request you to perform the ritual as soon as possible.'
'Your faithful servant.'
The snake gods may be angry due to you not visiting their grove.
I am afraid of snakes since childhood.
They are the gods of our dynasty.
Don't be afraid of them.
Iravikutty.
Yes, my Lord.
How long has it been since we've performed the rituals?
It's been 12 years.
Okay, make arrangements for it. It has to be done tomorrow.
Yes, my Lord.
"Holy serpent of the Ayilyam sacred grove."
"Master of the universe."

"Holy serpent of the Ayilyam sacred grove."

"Come to us, snake mother!"
"Queen of the entire universe."
"Come to us, snake mother!"
"Queen of the entire universe."
Dear!
You weren't blessed with a child as the snake god was unhappy.
The curse has been lifted.
The new-born child must be left unguarded
in this sacred grove when it is 90 days old.
It hasn't even been 101 days since the ritual.
Our queen has become pregnant.
The guardian gods of our dynasty
and our great ancestors
have blessed this kingdom with an heir.
I have given instructions to our citizens
to pray and conduct rituals until she gives birth to the baby.
I hope that she be blessed with a baby boy.
Your Highness!
What happened?
Since I became pregnant
I am having nightmares with snakes in it.
I just dozed off for a moment
and saw a snake charging towards me.
It's okay.
It looks like the snake you saw is still there in your mind.
Yes. - It's a goddess, Mankutty.
She came to answer our prayers.
I don't know.. But.. - You are tired.
Get some rest. I will take care of everything.
Madambi, suggest a name for the baby.
I have one in mind.
Please tell us. - Sati.
Mankutty, did you like it?
Sati. It's a good name.
If you don't mind, I have something else to discuss.
What is it?
Is it necessary to leave our child unguarded inside the sacred grove?
What if something happens to her?
Your Highness, as per God's wish
we must leave the little princess unguarded inside the sacred grove.
Leaving it unfulfilled will put the life of our princess in danger.
It isn't advisable to leave the child unguarded.
It is a matter of grave concern for the queen.
Iravikutty, what am I supposed to do then?
The child must be guarded even if she is inside the palace.
The little princess must not be taken to the sacred grove.
Why not?
Because it is impractical.
Working against God's wish is a bad omen.
Why sacrifice the child's life to fulfil it?
Everyone is aware of the fact that queen is afraid of snakes.
Don't use it against God's wish!
Madambi, how dare you?
Don't anger the snake god with your petty security concerns.
It's an insult!
Stop it!
Iravikutty! Madambi!
Put the swords back in their scabbards.
We will give it time and arrive at an informed decision.
You may leave.
The king is asleep. - Shush!
Ilayidom. - Tell me, sir. - Iravikutty wishes
to get the position for his son.
He might try to kill the princess.
There is no doubt.
I have decided to guard them at night outside their bedroom.
What should I do? - You must hide somewhere outside.
Okay. - Don't sleep. - Okay, sir.
Keep this with you. - Okay.
You scoundrel!
What is this, Iravikutty?
Please forgive me, your Highness. - I was forced to kill Madambi
who was a traitor to our country. - What?
Madambi wished his son to be the heir to your kingdom.
He was planning to kill the princess
ever since she was born.
That's the reason he was particular
in placing the child on temple which is full of snakes.
When he understood that it would not happen
he came with snakes and tried to kill the child.
I was guarding you here and killed him.
Who is there?
I hereby order to burn the entire family of Madambi.
Inform this to the general.
Take his body and hang it in public.
Iravikutty, you will be my bedroom guard from today.
Ma'am.. Ma'am..
What happened? - Madambi was killed.
What? Oh, my God! Mom..
Ma'am.. - Mom.. Open your eyes.
'They are coming to burn the house. I should save Jayadevan, at least.'
Come, dear.
Set fire to the house. We will chase Ilayidom.
'Even though I killed Madambi, Princess Sati is not dead yet.'
'I should not waste this opportunity.'
'Sati should be strangled to death before dawn.'
Ouch!
Have you been poisoned, Iravikutty? - Yes, your Highness.
I had brought the snake here to kill the princess.
It has bitten me.
I cheated Madambi.
God punished me for the same.
Please protect
my son, Veerabhadran.
Ouch!
Your Highness..
What happened, dear?
A snake..
Ouch!
The poison has entered my eyes.
I have become blind. I am not able to see anything.
'NAAGAMADHATHU THAMPURATTI'
Jayadevan, his Highness had gifted this knife to your father.
Please show him the knife and explain what happened.
Okay, sir.
I strongly believe that he will give you a good position.
What about you, sir?
I believe I have done my duty.
I wish to meditate for the rest of my life.
Please go, dear.
May his Highness! - Live long!
My dear princes and allies.
You've gathered here to celebrate my birthday again.
I can't thank you enough
for your love and affection
to a blind person like me
for the past 20 years.
If my daughter is blessed with a suitable groom
I wish to renounce my reign.
I don't wish to marry now, Father.
The day you regain your vision
I shall stand before you in my wedding attire
for your blessings.
Your Highness, on this wonderful day
I wish to bring good news. - Continue, Sheshayan.
An mystic healer has arrived to meditate
at the serpent temple to the north of the city.
An itinerant saint? - Yes, Your Highness.
It's heard that he is blessed with special powers.
You might retain your vision if you consult him.
Is it so?
I shall personally request him to come here.
Please permit me to do so.
We've done everything that a man could do to regain your vision.
What can an healer possibly do?
Veerabhadran, how can we predict that he'd be unsuccessful?
Then, I shall also accompany the princess.
No, you can stay back in the palace looking after the ministry affairs.
What if any thieves or robbers..
Veerabhadran, I'm the princess of Nagamadam.
Father, please grant me permission to leave.
You may leave, dear.
Okay. She's arriving with the healer.
If he succeeds in helping the king regain his vision
all my plans will fall apart.
Go!
Oh, no! Help us! Somebody help us!
What do you want from me? - Let go of him! - What is it?
Get down..
The princess herself has attended to your wound.
You couldn't get any luckier.
You haven't introduced yourself yet.
I'm one of the people under the king's rule.
I shall never forget your help.
We'll leave now.
I shall accompany you until the palace premises.
You don't have to trouble yourself. - Let him accompany us.
We've encountered a bad omen during the journey.
Okay.
"Your eyes intoxicate my soul."
"You filled me with your sweetness."
"Your eyes intoxicate my soul."
"You filled me with your sweetness."
"You arrived like an angel in a crystal chariot."
"The chills hit every part of my spine."
"Your eyes intoxicate my soul."
"You filled me with your sweetness."
"I flew towards you"
"to find pleasure in ecstasy."
"I flew towards you"
"to find pleasure in ecstasy."
"My heart started beating faster."
"Can I get on your crystal chariot?"
"Can I stand beside you?"
"Your eyes intoxicate my soul."
"You filled me with your sweetness."
"With flowers of golden petals"
"I laid a path for you."
"With flowers of golden petals"
"I laid a path for you."
"I accompanied you like your shadow."
"How much more will this wonderful journey last?"
"How long will these wonderful moments last?"
"Your eyes intoxicate my soul."
"You filled me with your sweetness."
"You arrived like an angel in a crystal chariot."
"The chills hit every part of my spine."
"Your eyes intoxicate my soul."
"You filled me with your sweetness."
I'm leaving. - I thank you very much.
I will never forget you.
Your Highness, have you ever killed a serpent?
Yes. It happened when Sati was a child.
The serpent you killed that day had actually come to save the princess.
I made a huge mistake.
What shall we do as atonement?
I believe he might get his sight back if his eyes get contact
with the light from snake-stone.
Snake-stone?
Is there something like that in this world?
Yes. Like a water drop turning into a pearl in an oyster
split serpent venom turns into a snake-stone
due to the changes in nature.
How can we find it? - We should search in the jungles
where the serpents live. You will find it if you are lucky.
Who is brave enough to go and search for something
that has never been seen by anyone before?
Dad, the people are praying daily
in order for their king to get his sight back.
Announce that the one who gets the snake-stone
shall be rewarded with anything they ask for.
We will get it for sure.
Your Highness, what the princess said is a good idea.
Sheshayan! - Yes, Highness!
Send this information to all parts of the kingdom.
The king has written this note to announce that
the one who gets him the snake-stone
shall be rewarded with anything he asks for.
It doesn't matter whether it's a snake-stone or a hawk-stone!
He won't allow the king to retain his sight!
Who? - General Veerabhadran.
Why? - He wants to kill the king
in order to get the throne.
Poor Highness! He doesn't even have sight!
The only successor he has is a girl.
Who are you? - I'm Devadathan. I stay nearby.
Who are you? - I'm Jayadevan.
I'm coming from far away.
I would like to have a place to rest.
Oh, sure! Come with me.
The tax was levied without the knowledge of his Highness.
So, the farmers are not ready
to give any crops to us.
Have you met all the farmers? - Yes, I've seen all of them.
What did Arapurackal Moopil Nair say?
We were actually running for our lives from there.
The farmers were so furious with us.
Let me see whether I can get tax from them!
That's how I became the leader of the farmers.
We had paid tax just after the harvest.
Why should we pay tax again? - You should find a way.
I won't bow down to injustice! - How dare you?
What cruelty are you doing? Don't beat him.
Who are you? - Why do you care?
The tax you imposed on the farmers is illegal.
You should not beat them for not paying it.
Take him and lock him up in the dungeons.
Moopil Nair!
Are you ready to pay the tax
that I demanded? - I'm not, even if you kill me! - Hit him!
Stop it!
Are you really humans? Aren't you ashamed to stand idly
when a man is being whipped in front of you like a dog?
Thrash them!
Catch him!
Tie him up!
Don't let him escape! Catch him!
Whose dagger is this? How did it come here?
Someone has entered this room.
Who are you?
Forgive me. I didn't know that this was your bedroom.
I climbed up here in the middle of a fight.
Do you know the punishment for barging into my chambers
at this time?
I'll accept any punishment you order.
Come with me.
Sit down.
I said, sit down!
What if I pierce this dagger through the heart?
You'd die. - I was talking about your heart.
I still stand by my answer. - Why's that?
Ever since we bid goodbye to each other at the palace gates
you've been in my heart.
So, you'd be killing yourself.
Barging into your chamber was a mistake.
What I just told you is unforgivable.
But I can't resist myself from telling you the truth.
The princess feels the same way, too.
Urmila, go and bring some milk. - You've had it already.
It's not for me. - Then? - I said, go and bring the milk!
Sit down.
Stop right there. Don't enter the chambers.
Search the other rooms. Don't let him escape.
Oh, no! A scorpion! - Scorpion? Where is it..
It's under your foot.
Where is it? - It went into that hole.
Forget about it.
Stop right there!
Why did you enter my chambers at this time
without my permission?
A scoundrel who fought the guards in the palace premises
got into one of the rooms.
I came here in search of him. - Nobody came in here.
What if he's hiding in here?
It's my duty to keep you out of harm's way, isn't it?
That's right.
By the way, when are you leaving? - From here?
No, to bring the snake-stone.
Everybody knows that I alone can do it.
But, what would be the fate of the kingdom if I leave?
Your father expects me take up the responsibility
of looking after the kingdom in the future.
Is all this just talk or do you have action to back it up?
Why did you ask me that?
I thought that you'd run away when you face a strong opponent.
Whose is this? - It's mine.
I haven't seen this before.
There are many such things you haven't seen before.
A magnificent dagger.
A dagger isn't just about being magnificent.
It should be sharp, too.
The one holding it must have
the skills to use the dagger as well.
Aren't you leaving?
There shall come a day when I share this bedroom.
I wouldn't be the one sharing it with you.
I was scared.
I understood the moment you shouted about the scorpion.
Poor guy. He had to leave even before he could bid goodbye.
I'm right here.
I have to meet the king tomorrow.
My dagger..
Why do you need the dagger to meet him?
You'll realise it in the royal court tomorrow.
Urmila, bring that dagger.
I'll leave now.
We'll meet again. - Be careful.
Greetings, your Highness.
Sheshayan. - Yes, sir. - Who's that?
Your Highness, it was this man who saved the princess
from the thieves the other day.
I'm very happy.
I'm grieved that I can't see your face and thank you.
Who are you?
I'm Jayadevan, son of Mannarkavu Madambi
who sacrificed his life for you.
Mannarkavu Madambi's son? - Yes, Your Highness.
This is the dagger you had ordered to be gifted to my father.
Your Highness.
The very same dagger.
The dagger I gifted him that day
for saving my life on the battlefield.
Convey it to the commander that I've ordered
for the execution of Mannarkavu Madambi family!
But, I misunderstood him.
I wiped his family from the face of the earth.
No, Your Highness.
Ilayidom saved me that day and raised me.
He taught me the art of war.
I wish to retain my family's legacy
by serving you for the rest of my life.
I assign you as the commander
of my elite army from today.
Your Highness, I protest against your decision
to choose Jayadevan over me
when I've been serving you all these years.
Veerabhadran!
I could have erased your entire family
for the betrayal your father did to me.
The reason I raised you until now to this position and stature
is because he confessed to his crimes and begged my pardon
before his death.
For my atrocious behaviour against Mannarkavu Madambi
I must proclaim Jayadevan as the commander.
Sheshayan. - Yes, your Highness.
Let Jayadevan take charge tomorrow. - Yes, Your Highness.
I have a request, your Highness. - Continue.
The snake-stone has been suggested
to regain your vision, hasn't it?
I wish to take charge
only after I bring it and restore your vision.
Jayadevan, you're indeed Mannarkavu Madambi's son.
I've granted your request.
Please permit me to leave.
Return victorious.
Why did you summon me here at this time of night?
I wished to congratulate you.
Why didn't you tell me that you were
Mannarkavu Madambi's son earlier?
I waited until the right time.
Will you be leaving soon in search of the snake-stone?
I'll leave as soon as possible. - You must return victorious.
May the gods and my ancestors watch over me.
Give me your dagger.
Why?
As a token of remembrance.
Why are your eyes full?
It's nothing.
I've thought of you as my own from the day we met.
When will we see each other again?
Please don't cry.
Throw him into the dungeons! - No..
Being the commander, I have every right to enforce the law.
Men are forbidden to enter the princess's chambers.
He has violated the law. Take him away!
Princess, I understand how this dagger was in your chamber
the other night.
Commander.
You wish to become heir to the throne.
You wish to sleep with the princess as well.
Shakunan! - Yes, my Lord!
Take him and lock him up in the cell.
Let him rot with that bloody revolutionary!
Jayadevan!
Treason!
A crime that cannot be forgiven!
I'm the one who called him here, Dad.
I'm the one who has done the crime.
Don't utter a word!
I've given you a lot of freedom.
I thought you would be my guiding light.
But you've forsaken me. You forgot dignity.
You have destroyed my pride! - Dad!
I atoned for the injustice that I've done
by honouring his son.
But, what he has done is disloyalty!
I'm ordering him beheaded
before sunrise. - Dad!
Why can't you go to your house and sleep?
No, they are very crafty!
The Lord has ordered me not to leave from here
without their dead bodies.
Will Lord Veerabhadran become the king?
Of course! Who will rule the kingdom after his Highness?
That means you will become a minister.
Of course!
I'm confused about which department should I choose.
You should choose education! - You filthy dog!
To hell with education! Will I get any bribes?
I'll choose public works. Minister of public works..
Madamparampil Mashunan. Sorry.. Shakunan!
Devadathan! We should escape from here.
There are guards outside! What will we do?
We will use a trick on them. - How?
Devadathan, don't make noise! Well, dig deeply!
Then, cover it up with soil! - I must admit!
How did you bring this ornament given by the princess in here?
It's a secret. Do you know what its value is?
Five lakh silver coins!
I thought Shakunan would find it.
You can take this with you when you are free.
Devadathan, be careful! Someone will hear us!
Five lakhs.. - Slowly! Slowly!
They will hear us if you make a sound.
Slowly..
Oh, Lord!
We're locked! They took the keys!
You bloody fool!
Princess, there is no use in putting yourself in more pain.
Consider it as the will of the Goddess.
You stay here. I will be back soon. - Okay.
The dawn is near.
He will be beheaded before sunrise.
Don't worry. I will go and check about their situation.
There is no need.
You've suffered a lot because of me.
It's all right. Let me leave.
When will we see each other again?
I'm going to find the snake-stone to cure his Highness.
I will find it, wherever it is. - My Lord!
My God's grace, I believe that the Highness will regain his sight
and we will be able to live together forever.
Sati!
The sun will rise soon. I must go now.
I will return with the snake-stone.
I will be waiting for your arrival.
How did the temple come here in this jungle?
Someone might have built it before this became a jungle.
Jayadevan, I can't walk any more.
Okay! Then, we will camp here.
Thank you!
I think it's a full moon night.
You're right! We can sleep under this moonlight.
Oh, Lord!
Nagasura, do you know who I am?
You are Shravana. The servant of the Serpent Queen Chakshuki.
Leave me alone if you don't want to be cursed! - No!
I won't go! Your queen banished me
from the serpent world for desiring you.
I've been waiting for you from that day.
I knew that you would come here
on the full moon day to do offerings.
I won't let go of you!
Let go of me.. - Let go of her!
You saved my life. How can I repay you?
You're from the world of snakes, aren't you? - Yes.
Do you have the snake-stone there? - Yes.
Where is it? - The Snake Queen alone knows that.
We're in search of the snake-stone to restore our king's sight.
I can't take you to the world of the snakes.
What else can you do?
Take this. Keep this ring with you.
If you show this ring at the cave, the gates will open for you.
You can search for the snake-stone once you get in.
We've got that.
This ring will also help you overcome the hurdles inside.
But, nobody must know that I showed you the way inside.
We won't disclose it even if our lives are on the line.
Follow me.
That's the cave.
Shravana, did you pray without any trouble?
No. - No? - Everything went well.
Where's the vermillion you brought from the Lord Shiva temple?
Forgive me, your Highness.
I forgot to take the platter after the veneration.
What happened to you, Shravana? - Nothing, your Highness.
What is it, Jeemudha?
I saw two men from the human world here.
Two men? - Yes, your Highness. They look like princes.
Jeemudha, you can leave.
Come, Shravana.
Shravana, the man in front is so handsome.
I like the one following him.
How did they get in?
Anyway, they must be blessed by the Gods.
They wouldn't have got in otherwise.
Come.
Hey.
Jayadevan, what's that shining heap in that abyss?
Those are the skeletons of snakes. - What?
Jayadevan..
Where did you go after we came in?
I was with you. - But, I couldn't see you.
You see me now, don't you?
How do you live among these snakes? - This is our world.
Do you know where my friend is?
Can't you see him later? - How can I be alone until then?
I'm here, am I not?
Are you scared? - No, but I'm a bit anxious.
I'll get rid of your anxiety.
Come.
Where am I? - Don't worry.
You're in the world of snakes.
I'm Chakshuki, the Snake Queen.
Who are you?
I'm Jayadevan, a common man. - No.
You are brave. You are strong.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to come here to this world.
I like you very much. That's why
I've brought you here.
'Drinking is injurious to health.' Please have it.
This banana looks like it is from our world.
Take your time.
I had a friend with me. I don't know what happened to him.
Come. I'll show you where he is.
It's serpent's venom that is stored in this goblet.
Look into this goblet, keeping your friend in mind.
I want to know where Devadathan is.
This is astonishing.
Everything here would be astonishing for you.
I will bring food for you.
'I will use this goblet to find the snake-stone.'
'Let me try.'
'Where is the snake-stone I'm looking for?'
Why are you still here?
Come.
Devadathan, this is the serpent world.
You should not burp in here.
Are there any other restrictions? - No. - Thank God.
I need to sleep. - Don't sleep now.
I need to tell you something. - What is it?
You should marry me.
No, I'm just a teenager. I'm not old enough to marry.
In this world, you are eligible to marry.
If you stay here, you won't get old.
This is wine. Please have some.
Why are you looking at me like this?
Nothing.
Don't try to hide anything from me. I know everything.
You're thinking about the scene from the magical goblet.
Nothing. - Didn't you see
that your friend is having a good time with Shravana?
Why are you silent? - Nothing.
I'm going to celebrate your arrival.
Queen. - What is it, Jeemudha?
He stole the wine from the kitchen.
What? Burglary in this world!
Tell our guards to hang him upside down
and then chop his head off!
Forgive me! - Keep quiet!
You don't deserve to live! Get lost!
Are you sentencing him to death for stealing? - Yes.
Here, it's like that. - Oh, my God!
You are a thief as well. - Me? - Yes.
You stole my heart.
Do you know what the punishment for that is?
You should stay with me happily forever.

I will return with the snake-stone.
I will be waiting for your arrival.
What?
Devadathan.
Thank God!
Oh, my God!
Devadathan..
Devadathan.
Unni, did you see where Devadathan went?
I see.
Thank God! I think I'm safe.
Devadathan. - Oh, God! - Devadathan.
Stop.. Devadathan.
Devadathan..
I'm right here. - Were you hiding here? - I was forced to.
What's wrong? - The girl who gave us the ring.. - What about her?
She gave me a warm welcome.
As it went on
she got out of control and was all over me!
I ran for my life!
Let's go. - Did you get the snake-stone? - Yes.
Let's go.
I don't think you expected me
standing in your way.
Forgive me, your Highness. Please listen to me. - No.
Don't expect that I'd fall for your words anymore.
You ungrateful human!
I would have relinquished
this whole world for you.
Your Highness, please forgive me.
I made a mistake.
It wasn't you. It was I who made the mistake.
I've never let desire take control over me
but I got captivated by your charm.
I thought you were an innocent human being
and I even let you in my chambers.
I served you fruits and wine.
I desired to become yours completely.
But, you betrayed me!
You have to suffer the punishment!
You may kill me. But, please let Devadathan
leave with the snake-stone. - No..
You traitorous reprobate!
This is the punishment for stealing the snake-stone from my crown!
Your Highness! - Your beauty, which captivated me, will vanish
and you'll turn into a monster!
Your manliness, which attracted
the woman in me, will melt away.
Let your attractive eyes become hideous!
Let your beautiful nose
become deformed and ugly!
Let your pearly teeth
lose its colour and become distorted.
Let your curly hair, which is as beautiful as waves
become unsightly!
Let your chest, where any woman would feel to rest her head
become deformed and you turn into a hunchback!
Let your clothes turn to that of a beggar.
Let your sword turn into a walking stick!
Let you turn into a disgusting monster!
Let your complexion
turn dark with each passing day.
I'm trapping all your charm
inside this vial.
Your Highness, please be merciful.
How can I return in this appearance?
You will wander the world looking like this!
Please consider the nobility of my purpose
and save me!
There is only way for our beloved king
to regain his vision.
The rays of the snake-stone should strike his eyes.
That is the only reason why I committed this sin.
An innocent woman
who is in love with me, is yearning for my return.
Her life would be worthless if I don't return.
Your Highness, please let me bear this curse.
A princess just like you
is yearning for Jayadevan's return.
Stop it! No one would care for him anymore!
Women will find him disgusting! - No.
My beloved Sati will never leave me.
Are you certain? - Yes.
Then, listen how to attain salvation from the curse.
The woman who is waiting for you should marry you.
She should give birth to your son.
When he turns five years old
send him here alone with the snake-stone.
Do you want me to send an innocent child here?
Yes. If he points the snake-stone towards
the portal, it'll open. He should find the idol of Lord Shiva.
If he manages to leave from here
with this vial and open it in front of you
your ugliness will disappear.
If he loses the snake-stone, the portal will close.
Your Highness, please be merciful.
He should do this
before sunset on the day
he turns five years old. If he doesn't..
If he doesn't? - This snake will bite you
and you'll die!
Don't reveal your true identity to anyone except your wife.
But, you should never divulge about this curse
to anyone.
If you do, your skull will explode!
Leave!
Leave with the snake-stone you stole!
Jayadevan..
Jayadevan.. - Where are you going? - Jayadevan..
Come with me.. - Jayadevan..
Come on.. - Jayadevan..
Come here. - Leave me. - Come on.
Shravana, what are you going to do to me?
I won't let you leave. - Oh, God!
I will never be able to see the sky again! - No.
Why can't you live here happily? - Happiness, my foot!
How can I live amongst these snakes?
They could bite me any time!
I beg of you!
Please let me go! I want to leave.
You are adamant that you want to escape from here.
I want to stay with humans, Shravana.
Okay. I will make arrangements.
Thank you.
Oh, no. It is a jail. Is this what you arranged for me?
Why did you do this?
Stay here until you change your mind.
Oh, no. Shravana..
Shravana, I will die of starvation.
I will bring you food and everything else.
I need only food. I don't need anything else.
Oh, my!
He is my guest. Take care of him.
Shravana..
Killing me was a better option.
Princess.. - Yes.
A man has come to the royal court with the snake-stone.
Is that Jayadevan?
I don't know. I came running when I heard someone say it.
Who is here? - Your Highness.
A man is here with the snake-stone to cure your blindness.
I can see now. - Father.
I can see everything!
Dear..
Wow! Our king can see!
I can see all of you. My vision is back!
I am happy.. - Father.
Where is the great man who restored your sight?
In my joy, I forgot about him.
There he goes. - Please stop there.
Pardon me for my negligence.
What do you want as reward?
Don't hesitate. Ask for anything you want.
Do you want a part of the kingdom? Or wealth?
You can ask for anything.
Don't leave without accepting something.
You can ask for anything.
We are ready to give you anything in this kingdom.
Thank you for being generous.
You will not give me what I ask for.
I will even give you my life. Please ask for what you want.
I want.. - Say.
I want the princess.
Idiot! How dare you?
Veerabhadran, move aside.
I never expected this.
Ask for something else.
Gold, power, precious stones or rank.
I am ready to give you the entire kingdom.
No.
I don't want anything else. I will take your leave.
Stop there. Take my vision back.
I am ready to stay in the dark for my daughter.
It is the snake-stone that gave you vision.
I asked my reward for bringing it here.
No. It is not possible to give you what you asked for.
I had heard that you
would do anything to keep your promises.
I understand that it is untrue.
Stop.
I am ready to marry you. - Daughter!
Father, I am your only child.
It is my duty to protect your fame and dignity.
Don't stop me.
Keep your word. Arrange my wedding.
Oh, Goddess. My love has gone
in search of the snake-stone.
I can't accept another man.
Forgive me.
Don't do that.
How dare you come here?
Pardon me.
I was scared that you would commit suicide.
That is why I came. Pardon me.
Princess, do you love someone?
Yes.
Where is he? - I don't know.
What if he is dead? - I will die.
What if he comes back crippled and ugly?
I will accept him.
What if he comes back as a leper?
I will still accept him.
Who is your love? He is my soulmate.
He is the only son of Madambi.
Are you in love with his outer beauty?
No. His kindness. I love his goodness.
Can't you accept anyone else?
Never. - Okay. God bless you.
Stop there!
Where did you get this ring?
This.. - Tell me!
This.. - You killed my husband.
You stole his ring and grabbed the snake-stone.
Sati. - How dare you call me by name?
You are a thief and a murderer. I will imprison you.
Soldiers. - No, Sati. I am Jayadevan.
What?
You tied a piece of your dress around this wound
when I was hurt fighting with the masked men.
It's you. What happened? How did you turn into this form?
This tragedy happened while getting the snake-stone.
Don't ask me more on this.
Don't reveal my identity to anyone.
Oh, my Lord..
How can a lady marry an ugly man like him?
She is a fool!
Get his blessings.
Don't touch me.
What is this, Father?
He is a cheat. - No.
The glory of our kingdom has subsided.
He is a devil who has come to spoil the royal dynasty.
I don't want to see him.
Though he is ugly, he is my husband.
You have told me stories of great women from our history
who have sacrificed everything to fulfil the duties of a wife.
I did not expect this from you. - Sati!
My husband is now more important to me than you.
I'll only be happy when he is.
I can't tolerate seeing him hurt. - Sati!
I will no longer stay in this palace
where he was humiliated!
I am going to abandon all these luxuries
and leave with my husband.
You are the rightful heir to this throne.
But do you wish to inherit
it when they've insulted you? - No.
I have gained what I wished for.
Let's leave, then. I will be with you
as a loyal wife for the rest of our lives.

Sati, is it a boy?
Yes.
Is he a monster like me?
No. He is handsome.
He is as alluring as sunrise!
What? Thank God!
Please come inside.
Son..
My dear..
When he turns five years old
send him here alone with the snake-stone.
No.
I won't put him in harm's way. I won't!
Hush, baby..
My son..
Mother. - Mother. - Father. - Father.
Teacher. - Teacher. - God. - God.
Mother. - Mother. - Father. - Father.
Teacher. - Teacher. - God. - God.
One should always.. - One should always..
...stay humble. - ...stay humble. - God will.. - God will..
...bless.. - ...bless.. - ...him. - ...him.
One should.. - Come here, dear.
Sheshayan. - Your Highness! - With each passing day
I feel more and more disturbed by the thought that what I did
to my daughter was wrong. - Your Highness
to be honest, the princess made a huge sacrifice
in order to save the family's dignity.
At that moment, my pride got the better of me.
I sent them away without showing any mercy.
It is all God's will. - Veerabhadran.
Your Highness. - We must ensure that the kingdom
will be in the right hands after my time.
I suggest you adopt an heir.
Why adopt when the princess is still alive?
Do you want that monster to be the heir?
His appearance doesn't matter
as he the man who married my daughter.
I want you to bring them here, wherever they are.
It's been five years since they left the palace.
How are we going to find them?
We must find them regardless of where they are.
It would help me as well. - Yes, sir.
Sheshayan is the one
who put these thoughts in the Lord's mind.
Wait for some more time.
We shall finish Sheshayan off!
Go and find them. - As you say, sir.
Devadathan.
Are you doing well?
Seriously? Are you here to know that?
Well, hasn't it been five years?
Is this even necessary?
Shravana, I have changed my decision.
What does that mean? - I am willing to marry you.
Are you telling the truth? - Yes.
But, I have a condition. - Yes?
Please let me see the sky!
Is that all? Come.
Shravana, how do I come through these bars?
Come with me.
Greetings.
How do we find the princess and her husband in this forest?
I am dying out of hunger.
It's wild cucumber. Let's eat.
It's poisonous. You will die.
Oh, I see. Walk.
Wow!
I thought I would never see the sky again.
What's that? - Keep quiet.
Let me breathe in the fresh air.
Now let us go back. - At least take a bath
when you are here. - Snakes don't bathe.
No wonder you stink.
I am ready to bathe for you. - Thank you.
That's water over there. What is it?
Water. - Okay. Walk.
We are here. Be careful..
I will come quickly. - Don't hurry. Take your time.
I will wait over there. - Okay.
Princess! - Who are you?
I am Devadathan.
Jayadevan and I had gone together to the land of snakes. - What?
Hasn't he disclosed to you how he became ugly?
No.
He was cursed to die if he disclosed it.
That is why he didn't. - Tell me what happened.
Only when his son enters the cave and brings the vial out
and opens it before Jayadevan can he be rid of the curse.
God has brought you to me.
Otherwise, I would never have known of it.
I will save him at any cost.
Wait patiently for that day.
I want to meet Jayadevan. - Come.
Devadathan..
Jayadevan. - Yes?
Devadathan! - Yes.
I am hurt to see you in this form.
It is sad that this happened, though you had good intentions.
It is fate, Devadathan.
How did you escape from there?
Look there..
I will find you
even in hell! - Come..
So, you have narrated the story to Sati.
It must be God's will. - Devadathan.
My God! - Stop.. Devadathan.
Oh, that devil is behind me.
Devadathan.
Did you bathe? - Yes.
Okay. Let's go to the land of snakes.
I didn't try to escape. - Then?
I was enjoying the thrill of being on Earth after a long time.
Oh, God. - Shravana, is he telling the truth?
He is lying.
I was standing aside as she was bathing.
It is clear from your face that you are lying.
My face is the same right from childhood.
You can clarify that from my father.
There is only one solution to stop him from fleeing.
No. - I will turn him a bear.
You can turn him back to a human when you feel him trustworthy.
Oh, God. Save me..
How does he look now? - Great, ma'am.
Stop laughing, idiot.
Ma'am, I will do his job.
Please turn me back into a human.
No. Stay like this.
Shravana, take him.
Devadathan. - Get lost, idiot.
Don't get angry. Come.
So, they are staying happily in the forest.
Yes. They have a son.
If we bring them here
the king would make the boy his heir.
No doubt about that.
Shakunan. - Yes, sir.
Go with four soldiers. Put the house on fire
when all are sleeping.
Let them die in the fire.
You cheat!
Scoundrel. Soldiers!
Put him in prison.
They will no longer take your orders.
Put him in the dungeons.
Veerabhadran, this is treason.
Don't advise me.
Obey me if you want to survive.
All these years, you enjoyed staying in the palace.
Stay here for rest of your life.
Ungrateful wretch, God will punish you.
God?
Even God fears
entering this palace.
Mother, it's a snake. - Oh, no.
No, Sati. That is a special snake.
Special snake?
Yes. My curse will work in its entirety
after sunset today.
I will die of snakebite.
No.. I will not allow it to happen.
Only you can save your father. Will you do as I say?
Yes, Mother. - Come.
Sati.. Don't send him.
Sati, don't send him.
Sati.
Show the snake-stone at the entrance of the cave.
Remember what I told you.
The sun is about to set. Bring the vial.
Go inside, dear.
Oh, God! - Rajan.
Don't be afraid. I'm not a bear.
I'm a human. Do you get me? - Mr. Bear!
Aren't you here for the vial? - Yes.
My mother is waiting at the door. - Don't be afraid. Come with me.
I will show you where it is.
Come.
Dear, that's the netherworld. Be careful where you step.
Mister.. A snake!
Come with me.
Rajan, there is the vial.
Hurry up and take it. Go on. Hurry up..
Mister, I can't reach it.
I shall help you with it.
Don't wait here any longer. Leave now.
You must reach home before sunset.
Leave now.
I'll never forget you!
Dear! Come here.
Mom!
Dear!
Rajan!
Oh, God! How will I rescue my son?
Dear! Rajan!
Our son is trapped inside the cave.
He slipped and the snake-stone fell from his hands.
The portal closed.
How will I rescue our son?
How can I rescue our son?
Please keep this ring with you.
Point the ring towards the portal and it will open.
Please don't cry, Sati..
Here, take this ring
and point it towards the portal.
The portal will open.
Rajan! Dear!
Rajan!
Oh, no! Dear!
Rajan!
Dear!
Rajan!
Dear!
Rajan!
Dear!
Oh, no!
Dear!
Rajan!
Dear!
Rajan!
Dear!
Rajan..
Dear..
Rajan!
Dear!
Rajan!
Dear!
Rajan..
Dear!
Rajan!
Who are you?
How did you get inside my abode?
Your Highness, I am the wife of Jayadevan who became a monster
because of your curse.
Please save my son and husband.
Oh, it's you.
You chose to spend your life
with that monster because of love.
You insulted the aesthetic sense of women!
You deserve this! It's your karma!
Your Highness, my husband is a noble man who sacrificed
his well-being for my father to regain his sight.
I couldn't walk away from him
as his ugliness is a result of the sacrifice he did.
What matters most is the conscience of a man one loves.
I chose to love his conscience, which is eternal
than his beauty, which is transient.
That is why I married him.
You chose to be the wife
of that monster and so you are
a disgrace to all women!
You don't even deserve
to be called a woman
as you've given birth
to the baby of that monster!
All I did was perform the duty of a wife who considers
her husband equal to the Almighty.
All I did was perform the responsibility of a noble woman.
Have I really done anything wrong?
Tell me! I am someone who abandoned all the luxuries
of the palace for the sake of my husband.
I had to risk the life of my son
by sending him to this dangerous place
in order to save the life of my husband.
Your Highness, please be merciful. - No.
You don't deserve it. Get out of my sight at once!
You'll mourn for the rest of your lives.
Your Highness! Please don't do this.
I plead with you to forgive my husband's flaws.
I'm begging you!
Please save us.. - Get off me!
After sunset today
your husband will go the way of all flesh and blood.
Your son will die a miserable death here!
The snake-stone is lost forever.
You're a witch who accepted a monster as your husband!
I command you to get out of my sight!
Stop!
You unmerciful animal!
I want to know whether God will favour
the lustful woman in you or the noble wife in me!
These are the words of a wife who is devoted to her husband!
From this very moment, you are afflicted by my curse.
You will turn into a gruesome hag before dusk.
Your attractive body will turn hideous.
Your gleaming ornaments won't shine anymore.
Even your kin will be so terrified
of your looks that they will abandon you!
You will attain salvation from the curse
only when your tears fall
upon my feet!
I swear..
Shravana! Jeemudha! Servants!
Tell us, your Highness.
Lock her up in the cell!
Jayadevan's bloody wife.
She has cursed me that I will turn monstrous.
She.. She cursed me before she left.
Will her curse be effective?
Oh, God.
Princess. - Oh, God!
Don't worry, it's me Devadathan. - What?
Devadathan? - Yes.
My son. - He's safe.
I've hidden him in a safe place. Come on.
I have a bad feeling that something dreadful
is going to happen.
How much longer for sunset?
I.. I'll go and check. - Okay.
Son..
God has shown mercy on us.
We must be back home before the sun sets.
Come. - Devadathan!
Please forgive me.
Leave! Leave as soon as you can.
Shravana, you..
It's almost sunset. Leave!
Triumph in this test if you can.
Oh!
Son, open the vial and point it towards him.
Son..
Sati.
Sati!
Come, let's leave.
Ma'am, please forgive me..
Who are you?
I'm Chakshuki, the Snake Queen. - What?
Your curse has taken effect on me.
I transformed into this form.
Please liberate me from this curse.
I'm just a normal woman.
I said something from my heart
when I couldn't bear the pain anymore.
I don't know to curse or liberate anybody.
You just have to tell me that you've forgiven me.
I shall be liberated, ma'am.
'Oh, Goddess. Please forgive her.'
'Bless her with her old form.'
I've realised the power of a faithful and devoted wife now.
I've learnt through this experience that true beauty lies in the heart.
I apologise for my mistakes.
It's all God's will.
Anyway, everything has ended well.
Not everything.
You must return to the capital you were banished from.
You have a huge responsibility to carry out.
You may leave now.
What's he doing?
How can he throw a blind man into prison?
We shouldn't let it happen.
We shouldn't let it happen even if it costs us our lives.
We must stop him.
It doesn't matter even if we die trying.
King Veerabhadran! - Long live King Veerabhadran!
This is tyranny!
We will not let you take over the throne
after you've thrown our king into prison.
We won't let it happen..
Shut your mouth!
Is there anybody who dares to stop me from being king?
I dare you!
If at all there's anybody here who still respects our king
tie this ungrateful wretch.
Father!
Dear! - Father!
Dear!
Forgive me, dear.
How did Jayadevan come here?
He is the one who married me.
He was cursed to turn into a hunchback
when he tried to acquire the snake-stone.
His own son liberated his curse after five long years.
Son, greet your grandfather.
Your Highness, we've killed Veerabhadran and his henchmen
who tried to oust your throne.
You must sit on the throne.
Long live the king! - Long live the king!
Long live Mannarkavu king! - Long live the king!
Long live the princess of Nagamadam! - Long live!
