'SOORYAGAYATHRI'
Good morning. - Good morning, Dad.
Have it before it gets cold. - Okay. - Drink it, dear.
Dad. - What is it?
The newspaper says that our result will be out on the first.
Today is 25th. Only six days to go.
Things will be clear after that.
There's nothing to know. I have 100 percent confidence.
No worries. - Hey, we will see.
We are going to see, Dad.
You have two grey hairs.. - Don't. It brings luck.
Yes.. It brings luck!
You must have missed them when you coloured your hair.
Don't let anyone know that I colour my hair.
I will never say it.
Aren't you proud to hear people say that your dad
Dr. Balasubrahmaniam is smart and young?
Of course. I will call you brother instead of father
in front of people. Okay? - There's nothing wrong in that.
I look like your brother. Look.
Look and see for yourself.

Drive properly.
Straight.
Look straight and not on my face.
Learn to balance the steering. Then I will teach you pedals.
Careful..
Yes.
Hey, Geetu.
Why are you stamping on my feet to stop the car
when you see your girlfriend?
Good morning, Geetu. - Good morning, sir.
Oh, no!
You call me sir and make me feel old.
Call me Doc. Or else, call me by my name.
Don't call me sir. Okay? - Okay.
Did Mr. Manisankar go to the court? - Yes, he left in the morning.
Let's stop today's driving class. What's your plan?
Drop me here. I will go with Geetu.
Oh, I see. So you need your space. Carry on.
Hey. - Yes.
If the police fine you for going in doubles
pay it from your pocket money.
Geetu has tuitions at 9:30 a.m. Don't forget it.
Bye. - Thank you, Dad. - See you, Doc.
Mrs. Varma in B-3 is feeling better. - Good morning, Doctor.
She looks better.
She said, she slept well yesterday because of the medicines you gave.
The credits go to the medicines. And not for the doctor, right?
Good morning. - Good morning.
Do you want to join me?
If you don't have duty now
let's have a cup of coffee.
I will come if you invite.
I don't know how to invite you formally, Sreelakshmi.
You are always welcome. That's all.
There is coffee in the jug. Here's the mug. Help yourself.
What about you? - Yes. Get one for me too.
I need only a sip. Less than half a cup.
Hey, Raju. Are you helping the old man?
Sister.
Who gave this old man a wheel chair?
The wheel chair was free and that man couldn't walk.
I see.
Give him the scanning machine and E.C.G unit.
It's free. - But, sir.
I didn't invest my hard-earned money on this hospital for charity.
All the hospitals have rejected Kunhali's case
saying his condition is incurable.
But Dr. Balasubrahmaniam wants to cure him somehow.
It's been so many weeks. He has nothing to lose.
I am the one who lose money.
He is not paying the room rent, nursing fees or scanning charges.
He has no money to pay.
That patient is dear to him.
I'm bearing it because I don't want to spoil my relationship with him.
And he is using the wheel chair!
Don't over sympathise.
I guessed you would be here when I saw your library books
in my room.
Nurse told me that you refused to have egg and milk.
I am not used to having it.
We give food and medicines based on your health condition.
You should have it.
Okay. - Do you think that you won't be cured?
Your confidence is what matters.
No. The patient must have hopes.
He must be confident that he will make it.
Our work becomes easier then.
You have been troubling him for a long time. Come.
Didn't your car reach yet? - No. I don't know why.
Get inside. I will drop you.
Shall I sit in the back seat? - Why?
Ms. Sreelakshmi is joining us.. - So?
Let her sit here. - Keep quiet.
Kaylan.
Don't call her on phone. She came in Balasubrahmaniam's car.
I told you so. See, who's here.
What's happening here, Mr. Manisankar?
The car broke down on my way from the court.
Look at him. He is the junior of Barrister Visweshwar Iyer.
Look at the senior Advocate Manisankar Iyer.
If my car breaks down, I'll try to repair it on my own.
Only if I can't fix it, I'd give it in the workshop. That's my policy.
If you fall sick, you treat by yourself first.
Only then, you consult a doctor.
Yes. But, Balasubrahmaniam is a doctor by profession.
What about you? Are you a lawyer or a car mechanic?
Come inside, Raju. Come in, Balasubrahmaniam.
I will serve you food. - Oh, no.
She has tried a new recipe. and hasn't got anyone to try that.
Good one, dear.
If I am home, she would test her recipes on me.
That's the reason why I make excuses to go out.
Hey, Reshmi!
What happened to you?
It's just two weeks since her wedding has been fixed.
You have lost half of your weight.
There is a month left for the wedding.
Groom won't recognise you if you keeping losing weight.
Stop teasing me.
Bye. - Okay. Bye. - Oh, no!
The son serves and the father drinks! Oh, God!
Alcohol is injurious to health. I can't see this.
Oh, God!
He is ruining his health!
Hey. - Yes.
What did you say on the way back from the hospital?
What? - Do you want me to say it?
What did you say when Sreelakshmi was with us in the car?
Oh, that. - Yes. The same.
That..
Tell me.
Dad, I never hide anything from you. - Okay.
You should also do the same.
What did I hide from you?
Tell me the truth. Don't you like Ms. Sreelakshmi?
Answer my question.
You don't look old. You are still young, Dad.
Then why not? - Raju.
Yes, Dad. Ms. Sreelakshmi, Mr. Manisankar and me
all of us want it to happen. You also..
Then why do you hide it from me?
Sreelakshmi..
She is my good associate at the hospital.
She is a good friend of mine.
I like her, son.
It's not that I don't understand
hers, yours and the other's wish.
But my liking for Sreelakshmi
has not turned into love yet.
Till now, there's only your mother in my heart.
It's just my Rugmini.
She left you with me when she passed away.
I have the responsibility to raise you up.
That's my only concern now.
Nothing else bothers me, dear.
That's the truth.
Hello. - I am calling from the hospital.
I need to speak to the doctor urgently. - Wait a minute.
Dad.. There's a call for you. - What?
There's a call from the hospital.
Hello, doctor here.
There's some complication with the patient operated by Dr. Sivadasan.
What's it?
He is critical. His relatives are agitated.
They have understood that it was the doctor's mistake.
Please speak to the duty doctor.
Hello. Dr. Sethu here. - How's the patient?
He is bleeding profusely. It's critical.
He needs an emergency surgery.
If you could come..
I am coming. Prepare the patient for the surgery.
Mistake! My foot.
Raju, ring up Ms. Sreelakshmi.
Ask her to get ready. I'll pick her on the way. - Okay, Dad.
We spoke harshly out of anger. Please forgive us. - Okay.
We are grateful to you. - Okay.
Life and death is decided by God.
He makes the decisions.
We only do our duty.
We say that certain doctors are blessed.
Same is the case with mistakes that happen during surgery.
Both are not deliberate.
You should try to understand this.
Doctors serve you day and night.
Sorry, Doctor. - It's all right.
He will be fine. Don't worry.
I had already told them
That they need not worry if the patient is at our hospital.
Mr. Kuriakose, don't bill the expenses of this emergency surgery.
Are you happy?
Sir, tea.
Hello, Dr. Balasubrahmaniam here.
We are from the press. Our hearty congratulations.
Thank you. But for what?
The results of 12th grade exams are out.
Okay. - Your son, Raju Vishwam has topped the exams.
Really? - Yes, Doctor.
We called you early in the morning
to tell you before anyone else does.
Thank you. - When are you celebrating it?
What celebration?
He is the topper in all of India. We need a party.
I will give you a party for sure.
Any day, any time.
Okay. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Cheers to the most brilliant youngster of the country.
Okay. - Please come.
Ladies and others who prefer soft drinks may go there.
Those who prefer hot drinks, here. - Come.
Others go there.
Here.
It's not for you.
Balasubrahmaniam! - Serve him.
Any more brandy? - Yes. - One more.
Ladies and Gentlemen.
Your attention, please.
Lend me your ears, please.
I want to ask him something.
His grandfather was my senior.
Barrister Visweshwar Iyer was a brilliant man.
When he briefs the witness in the witness box
the witness would forget all the lies taught by the defence lawyer
and would speak the truth.
He was a great man.
Then, about Balasubrahmaniam, his father.
If he gets ready for an operation
if the God is not against, the patient will be definitely saved.
That's how my hospital and I manage to survive.
Or else, I would.. - Keep quiet.
Let me speak.
Tell me. You have a lawyer and doctor in your family.
What would you like to become?
A lawyer or a doctor?
Say it. - It's not any of that.
Then?
I want to be an engineer. An architect.
Wow!
Engineering profession is good.
You can make a lot of money by building dams and bridges.
Keep quiet. - Come. - It's true. You can make money.
What's it? - Chicken. - Chicken? - Chicken fry.
Kuriakose brought it. Open.
We shouldn't bring it home. - I know that.
We eat only vegetarian food at home.
But can have non-vegetarian food outside the house.
"There is no sin in that."
Mr. Manisankar, while drinking alcohol
there should be spicy food as a side dish.
Our vegetarian food will not be enough.
So. "There is no sin in that."
"There is no sin.." - Stop. - He'll spoil it.
Did I spoil the fun? - Keep quiet.
I had 4 extra pegs on account of Raju's victory.
I want to tell you something.
Mr. Manisankar.
I know what you want to say.
Yes. You are absolutely right.
Sreelakshmi is my only sister.
You know her past.
You know her from a young age.
She cleared M.B.B.S.
She wanted to study more. She did her M.S.
She then got a scholarship to study abroad.
I have never stood against her wishes.
She was 28 when she came back after studies.
She wanted to get established with her profession.
I agreed to that. That's why, I asked her to join you.
Two years have passed.
She has not said a no to marriage.
You know it. She doesn't agree to any proposals.
Her decision is important.
I will feel bad if it gets delayed further.
If what I guess is right
The one who suits her, the one she loves is..
Yes. It's me.
It has been more than 14 years since Rugmini passed away.
Why can't you think of a new family now?
It is never too late, Balu.
I know.
When Rugmini passed away
I was younger then.
Now and back then
only Raju has been my priority, Mr. Manisankar.
When I feel that he has established himself
I might think about myself.
Then.. May be.. I don't know.
May be it would be late, then.
But I will not be sad.
I won't regret.
Till then
I am not sure for how long..
I can't keep someone waiting. I can't.
Forgive me, dear.
I understand.
God has decided something. Only that will happen.
Dear Raju.
No, I am angry with you. I won't talk to you.
How many pegs did you drink today?
Today? One, two.
Two? - No. My usual quota is two.
Today I had 4 extra pegs. That's it.
What did you promise me?
That I'd have only two pegs daily and not more than that.
Why did you break it? - Today..
I will drink today. Not two but even 20 pegs.
I will drink even more.
Today, my son..
Barrister Visweshwar Iyer's son Dr. Balasubrahmaniam's son
has topped the exams. Today is the celebration for that.
It is the long awaited golden moment, dear.
I am happy. I'm the happiest father on earth.
I will drink today. - Okay!
Drink more! - Come here.
Let me ask you something.
Who is the father and who is the son among us?
You are my son, aren't you?
You are not my father Barrister Visweshwar Iyer.
So behave like a son.
Don't try to rule me.
Let me celebrate your victory.
Celebrate! But I won't be here to see it.
Raju..
Hey! - No.
Fine. Leave!
I can also be stubborn like you.
Am I a bad person?
I will also go.
Tell me, Rugmini.
Don't I deserve to get drunk on this day?
I do.
Our son got the first rank.
First rank.
Our Raju
has reached beyond what you wished for him.
But you aren't here with me to share this happiness.
Do you remember
the moment I knew
that you were pregnant with our child?
The argument presented by the public prosecutor
is totally irrelevant and immaterial.
Hence, the case may please be dismissed
and my client be acquitted.
Come, Balu! Sit down.
No, I..
I knew that you'd come today.
That's why I didn't send you a letter.
I thought I'd tell you after you come here.
Tell me what?
Come on, Dr. Balasubrahmaniam.
Come on. Sit next to me.
Come and sit down.
Sit down.
You can sit next to me hereafter.
It's because you have proved yourself to be a man.
Why are you dancing?
Well, I think he didn't get what you are saying.
Hey! - Yes? You are going to be a father.
Me? - Yes.
Rugmini is pregnant.
He is running.
Tell me..
I know it.
Listen to me. - Yes?
Hereafter, if you need anything ask me.
Don't disturb her for no reason.
Do you understand?
What are you doing here in the middle of women? Go!
Leave!
It's me.
What is it? - Come here.
Why? - Come outside.
Grandmother.
Come here.
Just for a moment.
Wait.
Come outside.
Come.
Come here! - What is this?
Is it fair?
You need a husband till you get pregnant!
After that, I have no admission. - Oh, no! - I'm out!
Is it right? This is not fair.
Please don't talk like that.
These are the rituals.
Rituals! My foot!
Rugmini. - Yes?
Is it a boy or a girl inside?
What do you want?
Well, it will be better if it's a boy.
But I'll adjust even if it's a girl.
Okay. Don't worry.
We'll have a son.
I'll pray to God.
Hey, Balu! - Oh, no!
What is it?
What are you thinking? - Hey, forgive me!
I just wanted to talk to her.
Hey, she is pregnant!
Oh, God! - I swear that I won't come again.
I won't come. - Don't swear on me. Leave!
If you come downstairs..
Oh, God! - Why did you come out?
I didn't know.
Oh, my dear! My darling!
Don't cry. Come.
Don't go out again. - Hey! - Go upstairs!
If you come downstairs.. - I won't.
I'll kill you. I'll chop off your legs.
His attitude!
Dear!
I'm sorry, Raju!
I'll never cross my limit again.
Okay? I promise you.
Two pegs.
I won't drink more than that even if you force me.
Come. Get up.
Come on. Let's sleep on the bed.
Hey, get up!
Are you still awake?
No. - Why?
I can't sleep. I don't know why.
Why aren't you sleeping?
I lost my sleep because
I thought about something when you got upset with me.
What were you thinking?
Do you want to know?
About you.
About your mother who left us after leaving you with me.
About my Rugmini.
About my mother? - Yes.
I remember everything like it was yesterday.
The first time I went to see her.
The first time?
Tell me, Dad.
How many times have I told you those stories?
No. You never told me about your first meeting.
Didn't I? - No.
I'll tell you now. - Okay.
I was doing MS then.
I got a letter one day.
Yes. From the great Visweshwar Iyer.
He wanted me to go home on that Saturday.
Who is Visweshwar Iyer? - He is a tiger!
Yes. Since it was his order, I didn't even ask him for a reason.
I went home on Saturday morning.
What are you searching for when we are about to leave?
It's already 4:45 p.m. Let's go.
I am coming.
Oh, it's you. Come.
We'll see Mr. Sushindran's daughter tomorrow as a bride for you.
Be ready. Did you hear me?
I did. - Then why are you staring at me?
Be ready.
Hey, what is he talking about? - Buy me a bottle of liquor.
I'll tell you. - Which girl?
I'll tell you after you buy me a drink. - No.
No! - I won't tell you.
No. You can't leave. - Hey! - I'm coming.
Move! - Tell me.
Hey!
What is this? - A fish.
Tell me!
Please. - No.
Is this McDowell's Brandy?
Give it to me.
Will you tell me? - Yes. - Okay.
The girl is.. - Yes?
Tell me.
The girl is a BA graduate.
Okay. What is her name?
Rugmini. - Okay.
Her father, Mr. Vaidyanatha Swami
is a rich landlord in Suchindram.
Thank God!
When you started talking
I thought that they would be uneducated.
Only the girl is educated.
Others are like you imagined.
That's okay.
Hey, how is the girl?
The girl? - Yes.
She is his only child.
His house is in a four acre plot.
He has other properties too.
Isn't that enough?
That's not what I meant.
Is the girl beautiful?
The girl? - Yes.
She is.. - Yes?
How can I say without seeing her?
Damn!
Can't you wait a bit more?
Even if I want to ask her something..
Oh, no! My father will be there.
I can't talk in front of my father.
If you promise that you won't ask any stupid questions
I'll get permission from father to talk to her.
Are you sure? - Yes.
I'll prepare four questions right now.
Just four questions!
First, which college did you go to?
Second, which year?
Third, why didn't you do masters?
And question number four
were you a day-scholar or a hosteller?
Four decent questions.
I was ready with the by hearted questions by morning.
Did you by heart it? - Of course.
Hey, that was the first time I went for a bride-seeing ceremony.
Like you, I never had a chance to spend time
with my future wife from the time I were a toddler.
You are my son.
But I was the son of great Visweshwar Iyer.
There is that difference between us.
I used to get scared even when he looked at me.
Then?
Then..
Get blessings from the elders.
God bless you.
What is your name? - Rugmini.
Beautiful name.
Which college did you go to?
Arts college.
Which year?
1974.
Why didn't you do MA?
Well..
They didn't have MA course for her subject in that college.
I didn't want to send her elsewhere.
She is my only daughter.
That's right.
That must mean that you were a day-scholar.
Your father might not have let you stay in a hostel.
What do you say? - Sir.
Well, will you be willing to send her with us after the wedding?
Balu.. - What happened to him?
He wants to talk to the girl.
No, my son doesn't have such bad habits.
Can he talk to her in front of us?
What is there to talk?
Hey rascal! What were you thinking?
I have brought him up well.
Look at me.
Coming with me for the bride-seeing ceremony is right.
But talking to her before the wedding
taking her out before the wedding
are all wrong.
She can talk. Everyone heard it.
Her limbs are all functioning. She walked in front of us.
Shouldn't the parents discuss the rest of the details?
Hey, you can ask her something if you want to. - No, Father.
Look at my son's character. He is not an idiot like you.
He asked me to get your permission to talk to the girl.
Did he also become an idiot like you?
Ask her whatever you want.
I didn't have any other questions to ask.
My question bank was empty.
I didn't want to embarrass myself
by making up a new question.
I thought I'd say something funny to get sympathy.
And?
My father asked whatever I wanted to ask.
I don't have anything else to ask you.
The tiger gave another punch dialogue
when I thought I saved my face.
I was defeated with that dialogue. Finished.
Look at me, Balu.
I prepared the same questions
30 years ago, to ask your mother.
But your grandfather asked everything himself.
I got my chance today.
Don't worry.
You will get the chance one day.
You can note the questions and ask it later.
Hey, what is the point in noting down the questions?
I'll have to ask it during your bride-seeing ceremony.
Whom should I ask? Geetu?
She'll show me a funny face probably.
My chance is lost forever.
What happened next? Tell me.
After that?
I'll tell you.
Didn't I tell that your mother was a BA graduate? - Yes.
I came to know the truth, three weeks after the wedding.
What?
It was BA in music.
Is that so?
Your life must have been very musical then, right?
Yes, it was very musical.
It was like a dream.
Musical, like in a dream.
"Did the Tanpura start playing"
"music with your touch?"
"Did the Tanpura start playing"
"music with your touch?"
"The soft hands"
"like the stem of a lotus"
"they drew me closer to you."
"Did the Tanpura start playing"
"music with your touch?"
"Did the flowers"
"bloom when"
"you sang"
"in your beautiful voice?"
"When your music"
"swept me off"
"I was stood"
"craving for your voice again."
"The ocean was awake"
"along with the blue sky."
"Did the Tanpura start playing"
"music with your touch?"
She placed Veena in the hands
that had only held syringe and stethoscope.
She put music in my mouth
where there was only medicine and medical terms.
It was my Rugmini who did it.
My Rugmini.
She was my teacher. She was my everything.
Everything.
"Did the flower"
"become sweet lullaby"
"in your memory"
"after it gave you life?"
"The flowers bloomed"
"during festivals."
"They bloomed"
"to hear your music."
"You weren't there with me"
"in my sorrows."
"Did the Tanpura start playing"
"music with your touch?"
"Did the Tanpura start playing"
"music with your touch?"
So Lakshmi also got married.
Wedding wasn't so good. It was just average.
Really?
I knew it when I saw the invitation card.
I'll tell Manisankar right now
that your wedding shouldn't be like this.
Invitation card should have a distinct tone.
Oh?
I have drafted a card in my head.
It's awesome.
It will be in the Guinness records if they get a glimpse of it.
Why is it so great?
I, Raju Vishwam
grandson of late Barrister Visweshwar Iyer
cordially invites..
So my name is not there!
You ignored me!
Let me complete it!
Continue.
Cordially invites the pleasure of your company
with family and friends
on the happy occasion of the long cherished
wedding of my beloved father
Dr. Balasubrahmaniam
with Dr. Sreelakshmi.. - Hey!
A son invites everyone for his father's wedding.
Isn't there a novelty in it? - Hey, I'll kick you!
A son is drafting invitation letter for his father's wedding!
Oh, God! Oh!
Dad. - Yes?
I have a doubt.
Why do you have a sudden doubt?
Didn't you write any love letter to mother before the wedding?
Tell me, please!
I did. But it wasn't a love letter.
What if he catches it?
I wrote a romantic line in an invitation card.
What did you write? - You don't need to know that.
Okay. What happened then?
I posted it in a safe package.
And?
She read it 11 days after
the wedding, in front of me.
Why? Didn't she get it on time?
She got it on time.
Then?
Even if I was her prospective husband
I was a stranger till the wedding.
You can't even touch a letter from such person.
That was the practise in her house.
You didn't get a chance before the wedding.
Did she write a letter after the wedding?
Your mother? - Yes, tell me.
Once. - When?
It wasn't here. - Where?
After her father passed away.. - Yes?
I couldn't leave her alone in this big house.
She was pregnant then.
I was doing MCH in Vellore.
I only had the eligibility to afford a single room apartment.
We thought that was enough and started living there.
Her daily religious rituals
were a wonder for my colleagues.
She created a prayer room in that small space.
She did all the work even if she was not well.
She had no complaints.
She would send me lunch every day without fail.
Her first love letter came in that carrier.
In a carrier?
After I left for the college, she had a craving.
She wanted to eat Masala Dosa.
Really? - Yes.
She was carrying an idiot like you.
No wonder!
There was a note in between the Papad.
Bring a Masala Dosa
from Brahmanal Hotel when you come in the evening.
Oh, how sweet! - Sweet! Listen to me.
When her carrier comes
my friends
especially the female folks
they would open it first.
Her vegetarian dishes were so popular among them.
Is that so? - Yes.
Dr. Rosy Mathew found Rugmini's love letter.
She was very smart.
I had to buy 13 Masala Dosas instead of one to escape from them.
12 were for them and one for Rugmini.
Her family forced her as the due date got closer.
All those ceremonies! I agreed to everything.
But I wanted the delivery to be done at my college hospital.
I was very stubborn about it.
Hey, look how stressed and worried he is.
This is not the first time a woman is in labour pain.
But the woman crying in pain is my wife, Rugmini.
It's not your wife.
I am worried. You won't be.
It was a big mistake to advise him.
Congrats, Balu. - Yes? - It's a boy.
Oh! - Is it a boy? - Yes.
Rugmini? - Both of them are fine. It was a normal delivery.
Oh, God!
Lord Krishna has born in our house.
Oh, God!
'Pooram' star sign. It's an auspicious birth.
He'll have a long life.
We have a boy
like you wanted.
Are you happy?
I'm happy.
"A thousand eyes watch over you as you sleep in the cradle."
"In your eyes, lie a dream."
"Who gave the nectar on your tongue?"
"The doll sway with you."
"A thousand eyes watch over you as you sleep in the cradle."
"You are born on an ideal day. What should your name be?"
"Flowers adorn the temple guarded by snakes."
"We wait as your tiny legs and feet grow."
"You should grow up to be a handsome man."
"A thousand eyes watch over you"
"as you sleep in the cradle."
"The sight of you"
"resembles divinity."
"The sight of you"
"resembles divinity."
"As a hymn praising the sun"
"on the holiest of waters."
"As a hymn praising the sun"
"on the holiest of waters."
"We shall go to them."
"Oh, dear child of mine."
"A thousand eyes watch over you"
"as you sleep in the cradle."
That happiness didn't last long.
Even the Gods were jealous of how happy we were.
It started as a fever and didn't need much attention.
When I returned from the medical conference
it had aggravated to pneumonia.
I tried many ways to save her.
But..
I'm not afraid to die.
You shouldn't worry.
You gave me utmost love and care
and made my life peaceful.
That was enough for me. - Rugmini.
I'm sad about leaving our son.
Rugmini.
He should never feel like a motherless child.
Make sure he studies well and becomes a successful man.
I will be watching from above.
Rugmini.
Dad.
You need a drink.
Come.
Dear.
Balu. - Yes. - See what he has got here.
Dad, this is the admission card.
Good.
Rugmini, your son is going to be an engineer.
Our dear son. - My dear.
He is a smart boy, he was bound to be an engineer.
Your classes start next Thursday, don't they? - Yes.
So you need to go on Wednesday. - Yes.
Shall we go for a picnic at our estate?
Let's stay there for a night. - Thanks, Dad. You are great.
Dear. - Yes. - Aren't you going on a journey?
You can ask Geethu to come with us.
I will talk to Mani. - Come on, Dad.
What is it? - Okay..
Don't worry. I'm not here to ask for my rights.
Mr. Mani had told me everything.
It's not about that.
I.. In my mind..
When I was returning home after my studies
I had no wishes.
I took up this profession out of love.
I wanted a life surrounded
by patients and treatment.
I had nothing in my mind when Mani forced me.
That's why I didn't like any of the marriage proposals.
But when I started working closely with a dedicated
doctor like you..
Unknowingly.. - Sreelakshmi.
I.. - As I said, Mani told me everything.
You opened up about everything.
You have dedicated your life to your son.
You never think about your own life.
All these things impressed me even more.
But..
If you ever feel like starting a new life, that day..
Sreelakshmi. - What if you don't want a new life?
I'm not asking for a promise.
You have a good heart, please forgive me.
Fate and Gods have always tempted me.
That's why..
I can't be in a relationship..
I don't have the courage.
I can understand.
Please don't deny me the permission to watch you from a distance.
Sreelakshmi. - Please let me
have the right to wait for you.
Father and I have never lived separately before.
I will be able to adjust to my life at the hostel.
Your weekly letters will be a bonus.
Do you want me to write you more? - You can write to me every day.
But only one letter per day.
Otherwise, I'll have to spend the entire day reading your letters.
I won't be able to concentrate on my studies.
But my poor father will get depressed and lonely.
I won't allow that to happen.
I will visit him at least thrice in a week.
I will give him company and cheer him up.
I won't let him feel your absence.
I promise you.
Oh, Geethu, you are so sweet.
I'm doing my duty, dear.
Listen, dear. I will send you a letter daily.
You should do it too. - Okay.
Weekly twice.. - I will come home.
That's not needed. It's too far away.
I will come to your college to meet you.
You may home only on vacations.
You must study on your holidays.
What did you mean when you said weekly twice? - I'll say.
Weekly twice, every Thursday
around 4:00 or 4:30 p.m
I will call you. You must wait for the call near the phone.
And on Saturdays.. I perform operations that day.
Around the same time, 4:00 or 4:30 p.m.
you must call me.
I will wait for your call in the hospital. - Done.
Be smart, man.
Have you taken everything? - Yes.
Say goodbye to her.
Oh, God. Dear, study well.
May God bless you with a long life.
When will I get to see you again?
I will come home during vacations.
Didn't you say yesterday
that we shouldn't worry? - Shut up.
Dad. - Yes.
You shouldn't come to see me off. - Why?
If you come, both of us will get emotional
when the train leaves.
Don't come. - Okay, dear.
Go and pray to your mother.
I'm leaving, Mom.
Please look after father.
Don't get down.
Balu.
Why aren't you coming to see him off?
I.. - He need not come.
All of you are coming to see me off. That is enough.
Also, grandmother is alone here.
Why didn't you switch on the light?
Why did you switch on the light?
He sat in the dark so that he could get
some of peace of mind. You know nothing.
Get him some coffee. - What?
The time is 7:30 p.m now.
Nobody drinks coffee at this time.
Ma'am. - Yes.
Please bring me a bottle of water
and two glasses. We will be on the lawn.
'We welcome the spirit of a brighter future.'
'K.S.U welcomes you to this college.'
Well, my dear students.
Now I will introduce myself.
I'm Ramanathan, your professor.
And I will teach you architectural engineering.
You know, this is a professional college.
Here you will be studying subjects
that are related to a particular profession.
"Oh, beautiful lady. Get ready, it's your wedding tomorrow."
Stop..
If you are done with your speech, move aside.
Ramu, what are you doing?
Let us introduce ourselves to them.
Or else they won't respect their seniors.
Ganesh, please.
Professor, you should sit down and take some rest.
What you are doing is wrong. This is a classroom. Please.
Sir, you can go to the staffroom if you don't want to watch.
Let's get to the matter.
Get up. Get up, you!
What is your name? - Shyam.
What a beautiful name! Now stand up on the desk.
Stand!
What is your name? - Vishnu.
Vishnu Narayanan Namboothiri.
Do you stammer when you talk?
When did you cut your tuft? - After the 'Upanayana' ceremony.
You shouldn't have cut it. It would have been a fashion statement.
The sacred thread must be seen too.
This shirt prevents the sacred thread from being seen.
You'll look good if we dress you up.
Please don't hurt me. Don't insult me.
I'm a poor guy.
We need to ascertain that.
Let's do one thing. Stand on this desk like a beggar.
Do it, you idiot!
You shouldn't utter a word.
It looks like you might pee.
What is your name? - Raju.
He is a rank holder. His photo was published in the newspaper.
Oh, the young talent who wants to develop the country.
How much did you pay to get the rank?
He is an all India rank holder.
So he is a VIP.
We can't let him go.
It will be bad if we don't treat him like a VIP.
Please, boys. Please..
Come on, boys. Please.
For heaven's sake, please behave yourselves.
It's a shame if you disrupt the class like this.
You are free to meet them outside the class.
Shouldn't we be a little disciplined?
Please, boys. I plead with you.
If you respect your principal, please go out.
I beg you, my boys. Please.
He is begging. What should we do? - I think we must leave.
After all, he is a very obedient principal.
Let's not tarnish his reputation in front of these kids.
We are okay with your decision. - Okay, let's go. - Come.
Sit down, please. Sit down.
Mr. Ramanathan. - Sir. - Carry on.
Go on, boys..
What's that noise? - I don't know.
Go on, boys..
Hail Vishnu..
Hail Lord Vishnu..
Isn't that our classmate, Vishnu?
Dance with the umbrella. - Dance with the umbrella..
Hail Vishnu..
My God, I wonder who is next.
Whoever it may be, we should stand up for each other.
We should protect our guys when they come to pick on us.
That's it. We must not get bullied by them.
It is easy to say. - It can be done.
You just need some courage.
'Ragging is bearable till a particular limit.'
'But this is too much.'
'Vishnu is a poor guy.'
'All the juniors are scared of the seniors.'
'I don't know why.'
'If one gets pushed, he should push back.'
'All we can do is talk about this. Nobody has the guts to do it.'
'I just started studying and it's interesting.'
'There is a good library here.'
'So I can pass my time easily.'
'I'm happy, Dad.'
The readings of the last week were steady.
I hope there won't be a problem.
His health has improved.
Doctor, nothing bad can happen now.
Raju asked me to go in for the operation happily.
I will keep my word.
You can confidently operate me.
Post him for surgery on next Saturday. - Okay, Doctor.
See you later. - Okay, bye. - Bye.
Hey.. Stop there.
What is your name? - Varghese Mathew.
When you saw us while hanging out with your friends
at the beach yesterday, you ignored us.
Don't be mistaken. I couldn't recognise you.
So can't you recognise your seniors?
We must teach him a lesson.
You didn't acknowledge our presence.
You'll learn a lesson when you walk to the hostel
in your undergarments. Remove your pants!
Please spare me. - Remove it, bastard!
What if he doesn't?
Nobody called you here. - I don't care.
He is my roommate and classmate.
I can't watch him get insulted.
He can't stand it.
First, grow up.
You may go now.
I won't go. - What the hell do you plan on doing, bastard?
Don't try to scare me, man. - The only difference between
you and me is that I joined this college after you.
Remember that you are talking to your seniors. - That's what I said.
Being senior isn't a big deal.
We will also become seniors next year.
Don't bully us. - Do you want to fight? - I don't mind a fight.
There is no use in saying that you are our seniors.
You are small in numbers compared to us.
You'll lose all your respect
if we defeat you.
Do you still think we should fight?
If you go back, you can live a dignified life here.
You may leave.
Ragging for fun is okay.
But there should be a limit.
Everybody is not like the poor Vishnu.
We don't like getting bullied.
Come, let's go.
Dear. - Dad.
Why didn't you inform me about your visit?
I wanted to surprise you.
How are you? - Fine.
This is my dad. - What?
Sorry, he is my father, Dr. Balasubrahmaniam.
These are my roommates. - Hello. - Shyam and Varghese.
And they are my classmates. - Hello. - Rahim and Mohan.
Hello. - Come. - Come on.
Varghese, call the others. - Nobody is coming for you.
Nobody here is courageous enough to do that.
How dare you organise the juniors? - Where are your fans now?
You were a hero to them. - Nobody will come to your rescue.
How dare you disrespect the seniors!
Stop!
From Kozhikode?
Sorry.
Dr. Balasubrahmaniam is in the operation theatre.
He is attending a major operation.
Whatever may be the matter
we cannot disturb him now.
Even if we inform him
it will take hours for him to reach here.
So, let us keep the call pending.
Let us pray that this operation succeeds.
In the history of this hospital
this is the first time we took
so long for an operation, Doctor. - So what?
We could save Kunjali's life.
Thank God. - You're right.
Hello? Balasubrahmaniam speaking. - A call from Calicut.
Kindly hold on. - Okay.
Hello? Trivandrum PP holding. Please speak.
Yes, my dear! Hear the happy news, dear.
Kunjali is saved. - Hello?
Is it Dr. Balasubrahmaniam? - Yes.
I am the principal of Calicut Engineering College.
Yes, sir? - Sorry, Doctor.
I have some bad news.
Your son.. - What?
Raju Vishwam..
He met with an accident. - What?
The doctors of the Medical College tried their level best.
But..
We couldn't save your son.
Raju is no more.
Make way. Move!
Move aside!
Mani.
When father died
I was there to do his last rites.
I was happy that I had my son
to do my last rites.
But now..
I am left with no one.
Balu.
Make sure he studies well and becomes a successful man.
I will be watching from above.
"A thousand eyes watch over you"
"as you sleep in the cradle."
"In your eyes"
"lie a dream."
"The sight of you"
"resembles divinity."
"As a hymn praising the sun"
"on the holiest of waters."
"We shall go to them."
"Oh, dear child of mine."
Dr. Balasubrahmaniam stays here, right?
Yes. - I want to meet him.
Who are you?
I am Babu Karunakaran. I am coming from Kollam.
I am known as Karunan.
Well, I am a famous business magnate.
I have got fishing fleets, exports, liquor business
and some plantations.
I take care of many such business ventures.
What is the matter?
I need to speak to Dr. Balasubrahmaniam.
Please call him.
I am Balasubrahmaniam. - Oh, I see.
This is Adv. Manisankar Iyer.
You can tell whatever you want in front of him.
Of course. I have no problem.
Anyway, I have no secrets to tell.
Your son's demise.
Oh! That was really depressing.
It was a great tragedy. Poor boy!
He was very good at studies, wasn't he?
And he was also your only son. So sad!
What is the purpose of your visit? - Yes..
I have a nephew.
Ramu. He has no father.
He was pampered too much
with all the money he wanted.
He turned out to be a naughty boy.
But he is innocent.
Actually, he was also responsible for your son's..
But it was not intentional.
He was just a part of the gang.
They are youngsters and thus behaved that way.
But they never expected your son
to jump off the terrace out of fear.
What is the use of getting upset?
This was his fate. Poor fellow.
The case is going on in the court.
But that is of no use.
It is just a formality.
Since my nephew was also a part of this
I thought of settling this with compensation.
So, I enquired about you.
But then I got to know
that you are already financially sound.
But I didn't stop at that.
If I think of doing something..
I don't have the habit of stepping back from my decisions.
We should plan something
to highlight your sentiments for your son.
Like a memorial
we could build a special pay ward room
or a new.. We should arrange
for something new.
On a costly marble, we should engrave the words
'In ever loving memory of'
followed by that boy's name.
Below that, 'Son of Dr. Balasubrahmaniam'
and then, 'donated by Babu Karunakaran'.
For the inauguration, I can bring
the Health minister or even the Chief Minister.
Only then will we get the required publicity. What do you say?
Oh, no! - You.. - Balu!
Balu! Leave him. - Do you think my son is so cheap!
Scoundrel! Get out of my house!
Get out!
You don't know whom you have disgraced now!
We know very well!
Damn!
You only know to mint money by selling
putrid fish!
People like you will never
understand the feelings of humans! Get out of here! Go!
Bastard!
He deserved it.
It's good that you slapped him.
You didn't have your drink.
Have it.
I hope you will not get furious
if I tell you something.
I have been observing
that you are losing your temper really fast.
You shouted at your patients in the OP.
You asked them to get out.
You tend to flare-up fast.
Just think about it.
Is this right?
I am not here to please anyone!
I will flare-up!
I will shout!
I might lose my temper and even slap people!
That's my wish!
I can face the consequences myself.
Advises! There are hundreds to give advice!
But nobody understands my grief.
I don't want to hear anything. I don't care!
Leave me alone.
Sorry, Balu.
You misunderstood me.
It doesn't matter.
It is my mistake.
I shouldn't have told you all this
in such a situation.
I am so sorry.
I shall leave.
Wait, Manisankar.
What is this?
Did you get hurt by his words?
Let him leave..
Let him leave.
If he values the words
spoken out of anguish
by a grief-stricken and a dejected man
then it's okay.
It's my fate.
You can leave, Manisankar. Leave.
How can I leave you?
I feel helpless, Manisankar.
It seems like I am losing control over myself.
I feel scared
about my future.
'The verdict of the ragging case has been postponed.'
The prosecution has been unsuccessful
in proving that the accused ones, Ramu, Christy
Ganesh and Ansar
had any hatred towards the deceased, Raju Vishwam.
None of the witnesses
could even prove the direct
involvement of the defendants in the murder of Raju Vishwam.
The sudden outburst of rage
made them chase Raju at that moment.
An obstinate mind to not face defeat
made Raju Vishwam to take this extreme step
towards death.
The court accepts this argument
made by the opponent lawyer.
The defendants
have neither been guilty of any such crimes before.
With a special consideration towards the age of the defendants
and with the belief that they are not guilty in this case
the court has decided to free them of all the charges.
No! Never!
I object!
If this court couldn't punish them
I will not let them leave a peaceful life!
You will have to repay
for my son's death!
You will have to!
I will not leave them free!
"Watch out.. I have got affection, baby."
"Watch out.. I am going to mind."
"Watch out.. I have got affection, crazy."
"Watch out.. Take me tonight."
"Boy! I bet, you got to mind it."
"Love what everybody minds."
"Hey, I gave out my affection."
"See, your body moves tonight. I will be the lover"
"that keeps you playing around. I will be the lover"
"who is going to free your mind. I will be the lover"
"that helps you breathe. I will be the fire"
"that will keep you alive."
"Watch out.. I have got affection, baby."
"Watch out.. I am not going to mind."
"Watch out.. I have got affection, crazy."
"Watch out.. Take me tonight."
"Boy! I bet, you got to mind it."
"Love what everybody minds."
"Hey, your body moves in motion."
"See, your body moves tonight."
"I will be the lover that keeps you playing around."
"I will be the lover who is going to free your mind."
"I will be the lover.."
"I will be the fire.."
"Watch out.. I have got affection, crazy."
"Watch out.. Take me tonight."
Oh, my God!
Nonsense!
What is the use of calling out God's name after pampering
and spoiling your son?
Shall we inform the police? - For what?
In that name, they will come here for bribe!
In such matters
one needs to take care of oneself.
Before that doctor arrives
I need to shift him from here. Only then will I be relieved.
Go and get the motor boat ready. - Okay, sir. - Come on.
Hey, isn't that our boat? - Yes.
Move in that direction.
Am I paying you for this?
Hey, where is that doctor?
Oh!
Oh, no!
Let's go! Move fast!
Go! Hurry up!
No, please don't kill me.
No need, Dad.
No! Don't, Dad.
Please, no.
Don't kill me.
No! Don't, Dad.
Don't, Dad..
No..
Don't kill me..
Don't, Dad..
The students and teachers together
have arranged an endowment
in memory of that student.
We will be giving Raju Mission Memorial Scholarship
to the student who scores the highest marks in the first year.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for remembering my son, Raju.
He was my only son.
It's for him..
I lived my life
only for my son.
But I know..
Yes, it's fate.
They are the real memorial
of my son.
The memorial which will last forever.
I am giving these four students
four children
back to you for my son.
If my son were alive
he would have been amongst you.
He would have excelled in his studies
and would have reached great heights.
You should give
these children the chance to achieve the same.
For these four children..
My son is not dead.
He'll never die.
I am happy.
I am content.
Thank you.
