'CHITRASHALABHAM.'
"Like a.."
"Like a colourful dream"
"you came into my life, my dear."
"Like a colourful dream"
"you came into my life, my dear."
"Crossing the sea of moonlight"
"and the waves of symphony"
"you gave me a sweet smile."
"Like a colourful dream"
"you came into my life, my dear."
"My dear butterfly."
Mr. Madampu Kunjukuttan.
In this world of diseases, deaths and medicines
instead of earning money and a dignified position
in the society
by utilising his knowledge in medical science
and leading a luxurious life
Dr. Sandeep chose to live differently.
Without portraying the basic problems
of life and the life of the common man
the literatures that are being published nowadays
have become senseless.
Dr. Sandeep Menon's literature
named as 'Chitrashalabham'
has paved the way for a new trend
and I am proud of it.
Upon winning the Kerala Literature Academy Award
he has acquired acceptance in the society as a writer.
I wish Dr. Sandeep Menon
the best for his future.
Now, I invite Mr. Menon to address the audience.
Respected mentors and my dear friends.
While you address me as a writer
I get scared.
I am only a doctor.
My book is a collection of my experience as a doctor.
If my literature is beyond
that subject
the inspiration behind that
is not my imagination, but a patient
named Devan, who led a remarkably astonishing life
which I had witnessed.
Even while dying
he tried to make others laugh
and leaving us weeping
he walked into the valley of death.
I used to sympathise with the dying patients.
I console them with half my heart
and cry for them with the other half.
I know that it's my drawback as a doctor.
But still..
I was always like that.
A man who tries
to approach life
with utmost care and love
will always be afraid of death
including me.
That is what makes Devan, who came to me as a patient
and became a good friend
who left us emotionally drained after his death
entirely different.
He never considered death
as the end of life.
Instead, he considered death
as the counterpart of life.
Even though he was dying
he gave me the confidence to live
happily and peacefully.
Sandeep.
There is no need for me to advice
an intellectual like you.
Still I am saying
that you should take rest
at night, as you might be tired of the busy schedules.
You are tired.
You never take care of your health.
You will examine patients during daytime
and will start writing at night.
You are famous enough as a doctor.
But did you earn
anything other than what your father had earned?
Think about Dr. Raveendranath.
He is rich and even owns a hospital.
Do you think you can live single forever?
I am not alone uncle.
Aren't you with me?
Will that be enough?
You should get married and be a family man.
I wish to pamper your kids
just like I had pampered you.
Let's have dinner now. That's better than this.
Park the vehicle under the shade. I may return late.
Greetings, Dr. Menon.
Wait outside. I will call you.
I can't wait.
I am in a hurry.
Did you get the reports?
Can't you see that I am examining him? Wait outside!
Even I am in a hurry.
I have been singing continuously in concerts.
I take classes too.
Is that the reason for the bleeding from my throat?
Might be.
Let's do some tests for now.
What do you say?
I am the only source of income at my house.
Don't worry about money.
I'll talk to Dr. Raveendranath about your case.
Go and meet him.
Thank you, sir.
Dr. Menon
did you get my reports?
Yes.
You are perfectly alright.
But it's still hurting.
Dr. Raveendranath told me
to consult you as you are an oncologist.
I treat cancer.
But I can't create cancer.
You are proud to say that you are ill.
There may be many doctors
who may prescribe medicines to satisfy you.
But I can't do that.
Okay, let me consult someone else.
I should take care of my health.
Hello. Connect me to Dr. Raveendranath, please.
I am Dr. Sandeep Menon.
It's me, Sandeep.
I have sent a patient to meet you. His name is Unni.
He is a singer. He is from a poor family.
Please do the necessary tests.
As a favour to me. Thank you.
Who sent the letter?
Dr. M.K. Warrier?
How come he remembered us now?
I will be there by 4 p.m.
Okay. Thank you.
Don't forget about the patient.
Okay.
You still have the same body weight.
You should continue to take medicines and control the diet.
Sorry, I'll wait outside. - No problem.
Tell me. - Mr. Raveendranath
after yesterday's meeting
I had a controlled diet for dinner.
I don't take rice items nowadays.
Don't you know Mrs. Mary Alexander?
Alexander's wife. - Yes.
She is so slim.
She looks so young.
I am considering your issue seriously.
Let us check your Cholesterol.
Take these capsules
along with your regular medicines.
Come day after tomorrow. We'll check your cholesterol then.
Thank you, Doctor. - Welcome.
Come. Sit here.
I can imagine what you might be thinking.
If you were in my place
you would've ideally asked that woman to wake up early
drink a litre of water and go for morning walks every day.
And also to drink cucumber juice
or plantain stem juice.
'Smoking is injurious to health.'
People won't respect doctors
who don't prescribe medicines, buddy.
Though they fear diseases, they like to be treated as patients
when they approach us.
When it comes to making money
you are right, Dr. Ravi.
Did we study medicine to advertise about pharmaceuticals
to all these people who don't even know
what the anatomy of medical science is?
Politicians are corrupt, government officials accept bribes
lawyers fight for criminals and help them escape the law.
We are just following the crowd.
There's one more thing.
The patient you referred to me this morning, the singer
has a tumour in his throat.
We conducted all the tests and gave him medicines.
Wasn't it for free?
We take from one
and give it to the other, that's all.
Don't you think something is wrong somewhere?
This is Dr. M.K. Warrier's letter.
He has referred one of his friends, Mr. Devan, from Palakkad.
I've met him once. He was a nice person to hang out with.
This is his case history.
Lymphosarcoma of the intestine.
Lymphosarcoma? Was a biopsy done?
Yes. It is confirmed.
What is the point of sending him here then?
Doesn't Dr. Warrier know that there is no possible treatment
other than letting the patient die?
Mr. Devan doesn't have any relatives.
It doesn't matter where he spends his last hours
if he is already destined to die.
Maybe a change of surroundings
will give him some relief.
Take a look at this.
There's nothing more to analyse from it.
Fate has presented itself in the cruelest form in front of him.
In about three to four months
there'll be distension of abdomen and the tumour will spread.
It will then lead to acute anaemia.
He hardly has five months to live.
The damned fate of living prisoner to a chronic illness!
A young life that is burning down as quickly as a candle.
It would've been better if we didn't take this case.
One Mr. Devan is here to meet you, sir. - Mr. Devan?
The letter said that he will reach tomorrow.
Please ask him to come in. - Okay, sir.
Let us give him a short stay of relief before his final journey.
What do you say, Sandeep? - Okay.
Excuse me! Hello!
Do you remember me? I'm Devan.
We met about three years back.
We met at Dr. Warrier's niece's wedding.
Keeping that aside, you got married recently, didn't you?
If you had invited me, I would've attended with pleasure.
Anyway, that's all right.
I'm going to be here for the rest of my life.
What is your wife's name?
Geetha. - Mrs. Geetha Raveendranath.
Do you have two kids or just one?
No kids yet. - Too bad!
This is Dr. Sandeep Menon, Devan.
Hi, Dr. Sandeep! I've heard a lot about you.
Dr. Warrier has sung praises of you.
A calm, poised and humble person.
Philosophy and poetry have always intrigued you.
You are also a person with traits like kindness, mercy and compassion
which nobody gives any importance today.
Weren't you the star of your college?
The charming, brilliant, young
and outstanding dream boy of every girl.
I've also heard that you've fainted
in the anatomy hall after seeing a dead body.
Weren't you supposed to arrive tomorrow?
Expectations don't work on my case.
Not because of me. But that's the God's will.
Doctors had predicted that I'll be born on the 8th of May.
But I was born a day earlier, on the 7th of May.
Even if you guys predict a date for my death
I'm sure I'll die a day earlier.
I was discussing your scan reports with Dr. Sandeep.
Oh! So you guys are going through my profile.
Doesn't it look wonderful, Sandeep?
I'll write about it in detail to Dr. Warrier.
As I'm the one suffering, am I not entitled to know anything?
At least the name of what I am suffering from.
Please, Sandeep.
What will you understand if I say lymphosarcoma of the intestine?
What.. Come again, please.
Lymphosarcoma of the intestine!
This sounds like some disease we hear only in films.
Amazing!
I'm lucky indeed!
Awesome!
Do you know the meaning of lymphosarcoma, Mr. Devan?
It is the name you've given to the tumour
that is going to kill me
in about six months, isn't it?
I know that the anger you just showed
was not directed at me, Sandeep.
Any patient suffering from an incurable disease
is a shame to the doctor trying to treat him.
Your anger bubbled from your helplessness. Cool down.
How old are you?
I'm 30 years old. - You'll live for about 70 more years.
Not more than that.
You are also dying like me.
Instead of saying that you've lived for 30 years
we can also say that you've died 30 years.
We start to die right from when we are born.
Isn't it, Sandeep?
I have six more months left.
Those six months have lakhs of minutes.
For me, every minute is a decade.
What matters is not how long you live
but how you live it.
Let us approach life with love.
I'm sorry, Devan.
No.. Don't get so serious. I was just joking.
Please show Devan to his room, Sister.
I'll be right there. - Yes, sir.
Please come. - Okay.
Sandeep! Lymphosarcoma!
He is waiting for death
and yet he is so enthusiastic at heart.
Is there any way we can save him, Sandeep?
Nothing! It's too late.
There's nothing we can do. Nothing.
Bed number seven is yours.
How did you know this? - What? - Seven is my lucky number.
You are also lucky, my dear bed.
You are getting the company of an amazing man.
Where are you off to, Sister?
I'm on duty. I have to go. - Isn't this part of your duty too?
Come here. Come here.
How'll I manage alone? Sit here, sister.
Let's share a few jokes. - Jokes?
Let's talk serious matters then.
I'll tell you the story of an award film.
Are you scared of sitting alone?
Look at your reflection and sit.
You can narrate any story to your own reflection.
I've already tried that. It is very boring.
How long will I sit looking at my own face?
If there is somebody as beautiful as you with me
there will be a lot of topics to discuss. - Really?
Yes. - You'll definitely love the matron then.
She loves to make conversations with people.
She also sings at times.
Hey, mister! Who are you? What are you doing here?
I was just enjoying the view.
Does this look like a museum to you?
What if it does?
What if? - In that case, you are a rhinoceros.
What? - Yes.
Just shut up and leave!
Visitors are allowed only after 4 p.m.
This hospital strictly abides by a few rules and regulations.
I will not let anyone tamper with it.
Do you understand? - What do you know about rules, rhinoceros..
Sorry! What is your name? Whatever it is! Sister.
Tell me.. What do you know about rules?
Aren't laws made to be broken?
The police aren't there to catch police.
They are here to catch the thieves.
If there are no thieves
then why do we need the police? To welcome people?
Will you just get out of here
or should I call the security? - What's it, Sister?
Doctor, this guy.. - Didn't you get introduced to him?
This is our matron, Mrs. Maria.
This is Mr. Devan, our new patient in ward number seven.
Please take your seat.
You lay on the bed first.
I heard that you are very fond of jokes.
Just shut up!
The other sister told me that you are fond of talking.
I talk really well and it looks like
you'll be hearing a lot from me.
Shut up and get on the bed.
I'll surely shut up and lay on the bed.
But only after six months.
Just give it a thought. In the 24 hours we have
we spend 8 hours sleeping and 3 hours for other chores.
That is 50 percent of a day.
If we live for a year then it accounts for six months.
If we live for six months it accounts for three months
and if it's 3 months, 1.5 months.. - You, stop it!
I heard that you like to make conversations.
I wonder how it would be when you sing.
'Devan. He is travelling to the valley of death.'
'He is accepting his fate with a smile.'
'I'm extremely surprised.'
'Is he trying to add colours of courage, happiness and life'
'to the dark face of the fate'
'that is mercilessly killing him slowly?'
'Or is he mocking the Almighty, who wakes people up'
'from the depths of reality'
'and orders them back to sleep?'
'I don't know..'
Aren't you Dr. Sandeep's uncle? - I didn't get you.
Aren't you his uncle?
I said I didn't get you. - Try to remember.
I can't remember. - You can't. Because we haven't met yet!
I'm Devan. Where is my friend? - Friend?
Yes, Sandeep. Tell him that Devan is here.
Devan. Is it you, mister?
Mister, sir and all are used between acquaintances.
Do we need to use that? It's boring. - Okay.
Why're you here at this time? - I escaped from there.
You left me alone there. I have left the matron a letter.
My God. You've to obey the rules of a hospital
for the hospital's discipline as well as your own health.
Don't take it as a joke. - I'm sorry. Everything's a joke to me.
We must live where we're happy and not..
You and I know my fate. God knows that too.
What's the use of this treatment then?
I want to spend the days that are left with me
with good people like you. Isn't it possible?
I'll inform Dr. Raveendranath. Get him a room, Uncle. - Yes.
It's me, Sandeep. Is it? Are you coming here?
Yes. Okay, then. Thank you.
Did you understand now? This is Devan's world from now on.
Which means that this will be a heaven from now on.
Are you the cook? - Yes.
I want to eat a lot. And that too, always.
I love to talk a lot too.
Will you like both? - Yes. - You must.
What brings you here?
Miracles do happen, Sandeep.
Having a day out with my wife is not my cup of tea.
You'll know it once you've got someone.
I'm least interested in that.
From now on, kitchen..
Why are you here? - T-That.. I had declined.
But he insisted. He insisted so badly.
'My house is yours. Why do you stay at the hospital?'
'What will Ravi think otherwise?' Isn't it? Isn't it right?
I understand.. This is my wife, Geetha.
Hi! I didn't notice you.
Can I tell you the truth? I came here to see you. - Me?
Yes, yourself.
The same Geetha who got beaten up by her father for bunking classes
to meet her lover studying for M.B.B.S.
You used to say something to scare your family.
'Trains are not just for travelling.'
'It's also a way to end life when you're hopeless.' Isn't it?
You must've told him. - Me?
It's nothing but science.
The science of predicting one's mind, present and future
by looking at them. Here's more if you want.
His bike's tyre got punctured on the way back to hostel
after a movie with your him. It was nearing dusk.
It's silence everywhere. Anything can happen. - What is he talking?
Didn't it happen? Isn't it? - It happened. - Yes.
He's making up things. Shameful! - I quit.
It's the anniversary of a tragedy on the day after tomorrow.
Both of you must come home in the evening. - Wedding anniversary?
He recognised the tragedy so fast!
I was misfortunate. He knows that. He'll surely remember that.
Don't you sing? - Me? No way.
There is more than one copy of the book which teaches
how to predict the past, present and future of a person.
I know, you sing ghazals. You are proud of it too.
How is it now? Did the prey kill the predator?
Not just any prey, alpha prey.
I had told her that you sing.
I sing like a wolf. But I've to have a full stomach to sing.
I'll take care of that. - Then, I may howl!
Call it a song if you want. - Promise? - Promise.
Hey, Thomaskutty. How long has it been since we met?
T-That, me.. - Don't say that. You can't be found once you're gone.
You were drunk like hell on the last Thrissur Festival.
You went missing the next morning. I got tired of explaining.
It's not what you.. - It must be the disease I thought it'd be.
Your liver must be dying. Stop it at least now.
Leave it. How's your vehicle business?
I don't have a vehicle business. I run an exporting business.
You're an expert when it comes to making money.
Everyone must learn business from you, Thomaskutty.
I told you I'm not Thomaskutty. I'm Krishna Kurup. I don't drink.
I run a vegetable export business. If you're insane, shut up.
Don't get angry. Your BP will shoot up.
What's in a name?
Be it Thomaskutty, Krishna Kurup or anything, you'll be yourself.
Isn't it? You'll be here this day and we will meet.
It's all God's decision. Right, Thomaskutty? Sorry, Krishna Kurup.
Anyways, we are acquainted now.
Let's shake hands.. - Is it you, Kurup? How're you?
I doubt if the pain has shifted to this side.
It's not a doubt. It's true. Shifting pain. I used to have it.
I consulted him when it started spreading from my legs
to my neck.
He gave me a medicine and took it out of my head.
There is no one else who's better than him in it. - Is it? - Yes.
Prescribe me that medicine.
You know, I spare no expenses when it comes to treatment.
Go to the counter and register your admission. - Okay.
Don't worry, Koma.. - What? - Krishna Kurup.
Will I have to quit my job because of your jokes?
I told so for your publicity. - May I come in, sir?
Oh, tell her I'm not here. - What..
Come in.
Dr. Sandeep is waiting. - Okay.
I was praying for the souls of the dead
and the well-being of the living, Mother.
I'm really restless when I'm alone.
It's so from childhood. Like taking coconut from someone else's plot.
Oh, my God! - Yes. Don't get me wrong.
I may sometimes put the things on this table into my pocket.
I'll be a thief if I do so. That's why I.. - Jumped off the wall.
Jump? Am I a monkey to jump?
I walked to Dr. Sandeep's home.
Do you know how much scoldings I'd to hear from Dr. Raveendranath?
I treat the patients like my own kids.
How can I bear it if they go missing?
I know, there is a loving mother inside you.
That's why I called you mother.
Everyone must call you that. You're my mother
even if no one else calls so. My mother.
Good morning, Doctor. - Good morning.
Did you decide to let Devan stay with you?
Yes, he came there. He told me that he can't be here alone.
He's very good at taking people into his hands.
He told me that I must be called mother instead of sister.
He's calling me so. What's his disease, Doctor?
Lymphosarcoma of the intestine.
Is it the beginning stage? - No, last stage.
I'm afraid that people would think of you as my daughter.
Oh, I know your hidden intentions.
You've done it in the past. I was an idiot who fell for it.
All women are like that.
A naughty look and a sweet word. You'll be done.
I took pity on you for following me everywhere
and nodded yes. And now..
Hello. - Are you guys fighting on your wedding anniversary?
Many many happy returns of the day. - Thanks.
Have a seat. - No.. You didn't invite me.
But will I forget this day?
Here's your favourite flower. It's for both of you. Sir.
You've made her your daughter. I still am your sir.
Sorry, let's quit it for the day. May you be prosperous.
God bless you.
There must be three of you by next anniversary. You got it?
Sit. - Didn't you invite anybody? - No, Sandeep and Devan will come.
Will Devan come? - Yes. - Let me leave then.
Why so early?
After knowing about his disease, to look at him..
I'm not that hard-hearted.
What is Devan's disease? - Nothing. - Let me leave.
We can't let you go without having food.
I don't eat anything in the evening
until I light a candle in the church.
All the best.
Yes? - What's wrong with Devan? - He is sick.
Nothing serious.
But she said that she doesn't have the strength to see him.
She's very sensitive. She'll cry and pray for even small illnesses.
Go and prepare food. We had promised Devan.
He'll kill us with his talks if his expectation is not met.
You'll have to hear it all.
Many many happy returns of the day.
I'm not asking the number of years
as it will publicise your age.
God told me that he has blessed you with kids, money and years.
Happy anniversary. - Thank you.
Don't you call me sister? - Aren't you my sister?
Is it? - Yes. - I hope you won't lie to me. So I'm asking.
What is your illness? Tell me. I want to know.
Business..
You're so smart. Even now, you're thinking about diseases
and canvassing patients for your husband's clinic. Nice..
You must be appreciated for finding a wife
suitable for hospital business, Ravi.
This is your plan to steal money from me
by picturising me as a seriously ill person.
We must beware of them. I never expected this from you.
No, don't act in front of me. Something's cooking.
Everyone is hiding it.
It's just a cold. It's just not going away.
Do you know? My astrologer has told me
that I'll live till 85 years.
It hasn't even been the first half.
Leave it. - I won't leave it.
Do you believe is astrology and horoscope?
Yes. - Then you must come with me to a place.
To our guru's place. If he blesses you, you will be fine.
We'll go. No good hearted and loving person
can go without blessing me. Are you happy now?
Last day, he promised us all a song.
Who is it? I think somebody called. - Hello.. - Yes.
What he said is right. You must sing.
Okay. For the memory of this day
that you'll share with your kids someday.
"You're the unheard voice of an unsung song."
"Dream beauty."
"You're the unseen colour of a sleeping bud."
"Heavenly love."
"Sing a song and come."
"Bring the cold wind along with you."
"Make this auspicious day"
"a rhythmic one."
"You're the unheard voice of an unsung song."
"Dream beauty."
"You are the poetic angel wearing anklets"
"and the scent of the spring."
"This moment fills my heart with happiness. "
"Dance with the rhythm of my song."
"The carrier of rhythm"
"with the melodious voice."
"Take away my sorrows and give me colourful smiles."
"You're the unheard voice of an unsung song."
"Dream beauty."
"The cloud in my heart filled with sorrow."
"I let the colourful rainbow overshadow you."
"The divine rhythm kissed by life."
"You're the immortal life force."
"This unfortunate life of mine is blessed with your happiness."
"A garden filled with fragrant flowers."
"You're the unheard voice of an unsung song."
"Dream beauty."
"You're the unseen colour of a sleeping bud."
"Heavenly love."
"Sing a song and come."
"Bring the cold wind along with you."
"Make this auspicious day"
"a rhythmic one."
"You're the unheard voice of an unsung song."
"Dream beauty."
Can you keep it there and leave?
The chef is the king of a kitchen. Here, it is you.
I'll leave. But let a girl come into this house first.
Am I lucky enough for that? - We can't say that.
What if you get married at 90?
I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about Sandeep. - I got it.
Crying is of no use. Even the eyes are dry now.
What..
Didn't you say about a girl taking over this house? - Yes.
Her wishes and hopes are of no use if he doesn't feel the same.
Which girl?
So is there a girl who loves him?
I am anxious to hear about it.
Why don't you reveal it to me?
I promise to bring her here no matter what.
Come on, tell me now.
She is an innocent. - Okay.
She looks like a Goddess.
Isn't that a necessity? Sandeep is a humble one, isn't he?
What we, elders, must look into
is whether this relationship is a two-way thing.
There is something for sure.
If you try your luck, you may get something out of his mind.
"All are saying.."
"He doesn't have any feelings."
"He doesn't have.. He doesn't have any feelings."
"What are you looking for?"
Don't you have anything better to do?
May I ask you the same question back?
Hospital and reading room. Reading room and hospital.
Don't you have anything else to do?
Come, let's go outside.
I didn't get you. What is your intention?
Well, I heard that there is a diamond somewhere.
It is dug deep and buried somewhere.
Let's go and get it out.
Have you gone insane?
You'd either end up insane or be a thief when you live among elderly.
Let's go.
Oh! Hello, Thomaskutty!
Just a minute. - Who is that? - He's an old friend of mine.
It has been so long.
Hello, Thomaskutty!
Where were you? How long has it been?
At least a letter or a phone call would have been nice. - I..
Don't bother explaining.
I get that our friendship means nothing to you.
You have got the wrong person. - No.. Please stop talking.
Is your father doing well?
Is he dead? Is it over for him?
What is this, mister? I am not Thomaskutty. - No..
Don't act in front of me. I'll slap you. - What are you doing?
I see that you have a motorbike.
May I borrow this for a ride if you are my true friend?
Why don't you keep it?
Thank you.
Who is he? That was my motorbike.
No problem. I think he is insane. - Oh, God!
Let's go.
This belongs to my friend.
Hop on now. Just a ride. Let's go.
Please, slow down. - Oh, damn. It's better that I do.
Don't you have an admirer to weep for you in case something happens?
Isn't that right, Sandeep? Be honest with me.
Who is that person?
Get down now.
What is that name that would ideally suit yours?
Tell me. Who is the girl?
I won't consider that you are a doctor.
I'll hypnotise you and make you talk.
Aren't you a sweet person? Please tell me.
She is an innocent villager.
A school teacher.
Deepa.
I met her at a stage when medicines stopped working on her.
I believe it was God's blessings.
Go on. Tell me the rest of it.
I don't know when it happened and how it did.
By the time she was going to get discharged
the two of us had started to develop feelings for each other.
That is enough.
Seems like there is a scratch right there in your heart.
A lovable romantic scratch.
So what is the medicine for that scratch?
I don't know. - But I know.
An anaesthesia. A mild operation.
Otherwise, a bypass surgery.
Let me be the doctor for the disease that has struck you both.
It is going to be my treatment.
I have got this. Hey, Thomaskutty.
I am Ramankutty and not Thomaskutty. - It's the same.
Here.
Hey!
What the hell did you do?
How dare you take my ride without my permission? - Thomaskutty.
I did it on purpose.
Haven't you recognised me yet? - Who is Thomaskutty?
I am Francis. - What?
I don't even know you.
Oh, God. - I should hand you over to the police.
Oh, no. I am sorry, dear friend.
You look exactly like Thomaskutty, my friend from college.
Like a twin!
We used to address him as monkey at college.
He used to own the same motorbike.
Please show me your arm.
Don't hesitate now.
It was a mistake. I'm sorry.
"I cannot fathom my heart's desire."
Yes.
Doctor? - That's not me.
He is inside. You may take a seat.
I shall call him now.
Did you fix an appointment earlier?
I meant to ask if you are a patient who is already under his treatment.
Or, if you are consulting him for the first time.
I believe you are consulting him for the first time. Please.
Please don't think that I am praising Sandeep.
I generally don't canvas patients for him.
Don't be tensed as there aren't other patients here.
He is really busy.
And why is that?
You can't find a specialist like him anywhere else.
All he needs to do is touch the patient to do the trick.
Though he appears like a tough man
he is quite a humble man. - Devan.
Whom are you talking to?
Hi, Deepa.
Oh.
Oh, I see.
She was astonished to see me.
And seems like the doctor feels the same at the sight of the patient.
Are you up to something? - Just shut up.
He is a close friend of mine. Devan.
This is.. - No.. I am already aware.
Don't I know it all?
You are Deepa, the lover in his dreams.
I can't believe him. - Please, don't blush.
Didn't you tell me even last night
that her thoughts have stolen your sleep?
Don't cook up stories..
Her name is Deepa. She's a school teacher.
And she was under constant treatment for pneumonia.
When she finally recovered, the doctor was down with a disease.
And the disease is called passion, adoration, affection, love, etc..
Why don't you open up to her?
At least that would lessen my job.
Will you leave us? - Look at that, Deepa.
He is really scared. But he loves you a lot.
Will you please shut up? - Thank you.
Then again, why am I needed here?
He is quite a chatterbox. - Oh, God.
I was feeling a little uneasy.
Is it because of what he said?
What if it is true?
To be honest, he has spoken my heart out.
Then again, we needed a mediator like him, didn't we?
He has already spoken for me.
What about you?
Just consider Devan's words to be the same as mine.
'Just consider Devan's words to be the same as mine.'
What does that mean?
It means that she loves him.
Okay.
It is all said now.
So don't bother keeping anything in mind now.
You can tell me.
Shall we go for a walk?
I hope you wouldn't mind. - No.
Hello. Where are you going?
Just for a walk.
I see. - Please don't add any wild thoughts to this.
You can tag along if you want to. - Okay, one minute.
Why is he joining us?
I wonder what more stories he will cook up.
I just asked him like that. He is an innocent.
He is excited.
Let it be. At least he is good company.
Let's go.. Quit wasting time.
No matter how many times I have seen this river
it always feels like I am seeing it for the first time.
I beg your pardon. Did you say something?
You won't get it.
No. Hello, geniuses.
This is supposed to be your romantic moments together.
The season of love.
This is not the time to discuss nature.
Talk to your lover about marriage, children
and the future. How can you be so stupid?
I may go insane if I stay here any longer.
The two of you must be punished for wasting your ample opportunity
to have some alone time together.
Fools.
Bye.
He doesn't hesitate to speak his heart out, does he?
How is that I haven't met him before?
He is from Palakkad. He is here for a treatment.
But he is dying.
He only has a couple of months to live.
It would be a miracle if anything else happens.
Does he know about it?
Yes, very well.
Yet he seems so happy.
I can't even imagine.
That's why
he is the biggest pain in my heart.
"To laugh when you encounter a high."
"To cry when you encounter a low."
"The unknown singer sings"
"a beautiful melancholic song."
"Life is a beautiful melancholic song."
"To laugh when you encounter a high."
"To cry when you encounter a low."
"The unknown singer sings"
"a beautiful melancholic song."
"Life is a beautiful melancholic song."
"When my heart breaks"
"the sky above laughs in ecstasy."
"The sky laughs as the lightening."
"When my heart breaks"
"the sky above laughs in ecstasy."
"The sky laughs as the lightening."
"When the musical box resonates silence"
"sweet music overflows my heart."
"To laugh when you encounter a high."
"To cry when you encounter a low."
"The unknown singer sings"
"a beautiful melancholic song."
"Life is a beautiful melancholic song."
Good morning. - Good morning.
Why are you here so early? Where is your partner?
Do you mean Devan? - Yes.
Hasn't he woken up yet? - Of course.
He wakes up earlier than the sun and goes for a walk.
He has gone to send a telegram to the Prime Minister.
It's a complaint about me.
He is a weird guy. We can't tell when he is being serious.
Sometimes he talks to me about the local happenings.
But he won't talk anything in detail.
Even you haven't spoken anything about him.
What is his problem? - Please bring him a cup.
Any new happenings? - I have to call Dr. Warrier.
Devan's health is deteriorating by each day.
Geetha.
Give him something to eat. - Shall I bring you cake? - Yes.
Dr. Warrier had called me yesterday.
Devan has sent him a long letter.
He has mentioned that you have to get married soon
and only then will he leave this place.
What? How can I let him go?
I can't stay separated from him.
I was thinking about his relatives.
Is it because there is no one or because they don't care?
Will they come for him? - No one will come for him.
His father died when he was young.
Before the fire on his father's pyre died down
his mother was forced to remarry by his relatives.
He spent his childhood with his grandfather.
After he passed way, he moved into a hostel.
He came after resigning a job in Bangalore.
He has told this much to Geetha.
He wishes that he could select his relatives
like he selects his friends.
He has written to Dr. Warrier that we are his relatives.
What keeps him alive other than the air he breaths
is the love that surrounds him
and his desire for more love.
Or else, he would have been dead by now.
The couple of months he has left is.. - You mean..
When I leave home in the morning, I fear
that I might see his lifeless body when I return.
"Why did you leave without singing"
"from my heart?"
"The verses that were in our hearts.."
"Did you leave my heart without adorning yourself"
"with the red lotuses?"
"Why did you leave without singing"
"from my heart."
"The verses that were in our hearts.."
"Did you leave my heart without adorning yourself"
"with the red lotuses?"
"Covering the orchids with a blanket"
"of snowflakes."
"Covering the orchids with a blanket"
"of snowflakes."
"I waited for you by weaving our golden dreams together."
"I waited for you impatiently, my love."
"Why did you leave without singing"
"from my heart?"
"The verses that were in our hearts.."
"Did you leave my heart without adorning yourself"
"with the red lotuses?"
"When the wind caresses"
"the lifeless flute made of bamboo.."
"When the wind caresses"
"the lifeless flute made of bamboo"
"My heart is brimming with pain."
"I'm drowning in a sea of tears, my love."
"Why did you leave without singing"
"from my heart?"
"The verses that were in our hearts.."
"Did you leave my heart without adorning yourself"
"with the red lotuses?"
"Why did you leave without singing"
"from my heart?"
"The verses that were in our hearts.."
"Did you leave my heart without adorning yourself"
"with the red lotuses?"
Devan.
So you were enjoying my music
for free.
How was my song? - I didn't hear your song.
I heard your heart mourn.
The pain that you caress in your heart secretly.
The secret pain that is in my heart.
That is my only savings. - What is that?
Tell me, Devan. - Sorry, Sandeep.
I won't give my savings to anyone.
You can call me selfish.
'Devan hides his savings'
'deep within his soul, without sharing it with anyone else.'
'What else could it be'
'other than a failed love?'
'The love that gives life to the bloodless veins.'
'Is that the only thing that prompts him to live?'
'The love that inspires human minds to swim across'
'a sea of pain that they can't fathom.'
'That is what makes him strong.'
'The love that teaches men to dream.'
Thomaskutty, why are you hiding?
I haven't seen you in a while. So this is what you are up to.
You are hiding from me. Too bad!
Manoharan, let's shake hands.
What? - I'm a cheater to them because you didn't keep your word
even though I trusted you.
I know how to get back the money you owe me.
That is.. - I don't want to hear another excuse.
Let me speak. - I have known you for years.
It's been two years since you borrowed Rs 30,000 from me.
What are you saying? - Then you can give me Rs 25,000.
Let's forget Rs. 5,000.
Jawaharlal Nehru had said that money is not a big deal.
When did he say that? - A Sunday. I valued love more than money.
God will not forgive you for cheating me.
Look, I owe them money.
I have to pay them after you pay me.
Rajendran, did you think I ran from you?
I was running to catch him.
He was hiding from me for a long time.
I want my money now. - Let me handle him.
I will give you the money by evening.
You saw my source. I'll definitely pay you today.
Should we intervene? - I'll tell you if you need to.
Manoharan..
Manoharan! - My name is Devan.
Then, my name is not Thomaskutty.
Bakkar, the famous actor, director and play writer.
Bakkar Parappanagadi. Manoharan, what do you do?
I may do anything in these type of situations.
I ruined my life thinking I had a bright future in playwriting.
I have been battling debts for a long time.
I'm alive because there are two routes to my home.
Is it? - I escape through the other route.
I won't have this hardship for long.
I can't do that anymore.
As a last resort, I will.. See, I have a script with me.
I will commit suicide.
I know this will be a hit. I'll be noticed.
All my problems will be solved. - You should do that now.
Others will be happy. - I liked your play.
That's why I held on to it. Please forgive me.
Please forgive me for God's sake.
Those people you saw are ruthless rascals.
They charge a high rate of interest.
I couldn't pay them back. I played you to save my life.
Don't worry. I knew how to spoil your gimmick.
But I understood that something was wrong. - Why are you here?
Let it go.
Let's cooperate in this field. - That is what happened back there.
I meant a partnership. - Let's talk about it the next time we meet.
You must come to the place where I rehearse the play.
Where is it? - It's just around the corner. - How will you find me?
I will find you. Will you come? - Okay, I will come.
Okay.
You don't know me. Consider me as a broker.
I don't want any money. I would like Deepa to be my sister-in-law.
That's why I came here. - How can we talk this when we are strangers?
The bride and the groom know each other very well.
I think you would know the groom as well.
Dr. Sandeep Menon. - Sandeep Menon?
We are poor. Don't joke with such things.
This is not a joke. Don't you remember him treating Deepa?
They have been in love since then.
Does my daughter, a poor school teacher, deserve
a rich and noble groom like him?
That is the will of God.
As their relatives, we have only one thing to do.
Fix the date and time for their marriage.
If they are in love, we should support their marriage.
But this seems too soon.
Her father passed away only nine months back.
Not without waiting for even a year..
Those in love should be united. I want to see that.
If we wait too long, I might not be there to.. - What?
I need to go somewhere in a month. - To where?
It's far away.
I can't come back from there for just a wedding.
I won't get the return ticket.
I came all this way to ask this to you, ma'am.
You should think about it.
God bless you.
You will live a hundred years.
Sister!
When I came here to tell you a good news
you were praying to God.
That's a good omen.
I have never said anything less than good news.
Here. Accept this happily.
You want to know the occasion, right?
An illness that we thought was incurable
was cured.
The illness is cured, Sister.
Is that true? - Yes.
You never found it all this time while it was right in front of you.
Did you know that Dr. Sandeep Menon
had an illness of love?
I thought you were talking about..
What?
No. It's nothing.
Tell me. What about Sandeep?
Do you know whom he loves?
It was Ms. Deepa.
After treating her, the doctor fell ill.
When I told Deepa's mother about him, she was so happy.
You can continue your prayer.
One must pray to the God for selfless reasons too.
For others.
I was just praying..
Was it for a daughter or a son?
For a brother.
For his life and health.
Sister.
While I was laughing at your jokes
I didn't know about this.
I didn't know anything.
You know everything now, don't you?
Damn! Why did they tell you?
No one had told me.
Anyway, you would have told me before you go.
Oh, my God!
No!
Sister, in spite of praying to God non-stop
is this all the courage he gave you?
Listen.
The one for whom you are praying
is still right in front of you
filled with energy, isn't he?
If he had called me yesterday
we wouldn't have met today.
If we are not thankful for what we have
our prayers will look like greed to him.
All of us will have to return some day.
Including me, you
everyone alive, and everyone yet to be born.
Some will have to go early
and some later on.
That's the only difference.
Pray for me to the God.
The tears of our loved ones will hurt us more than death.
Don't cry.
Oh!
You must be restless.
The desire to come here
and to meet him.
To be with him
and to talk to him.
Those are the symptoms of this disease.
I will call him. Sandeep!
I am here to meet you, Devan.
Me? That's interesting.
For what?
Mother told me that you visited her.
Yes. I had to.
If you kids have any desires
it is the duty of us, adults, to fulfil that, dear.
After my father's death
me and my mother were left all alone.
We had no one else.
Now it feels like we are not alone.
Is that you, Deepa?
No! You just ruined it.
We were discussing something personal.
Why did you interfere?
She came to meet me. Ask her.
Isn't it, Deepa?
Yes. I did. - Yes.
Yes. See, he is jealous.
Jealousy.
Every man will be selfish when it comes to love.
Oh, my God! I am late.
Where are you going?
A drama rehearsal.
Don't you know the famous play writer, Bakkar Parappanangadi?
He is my friend.
He invited me to the rehearsal of his new play.
See you. Bye.
Okay.
It must be because he has no siblings
that he is treating everyone as his own.
Sit down.
Uncle.
Can you make two cups of coffee?
Didn't you go to school today?
I left a little early.
I wanted to see you and talk to you.
Excuse me.
Hello.
Yes?
Is that so? I will be right there.
Okay.
It's from the hospital.
There is an urgent case.
You can go.
Okay. - I will stay here.
Will it be a bother? - No. - I will be back soon. - Okay.
No! Don't smoke, Sundaran.
I might be Jahangir in the play.
But I am broke in real life.
Ever since I joined Bakkar Parapanangadi's troop
I am not even able to buy this.
I will wait for some time.
Or else, if I go to KPSC any day
they will accept me.
Okay. Are you ready? Let's start.
Yes. This is Mano.. - Devan.
Right. He is my childhood friend. - Yes.
This is Sundaran Chethunkadavu.
He acts the role of Jahangir.
He is a better than Naseeruddin Shah.
He is a good artist.
One minute. - What?
One minute. - Okay.
What is it?
What? - Don't try to butter me. - Don't humiliate me.
If I don't get Rs. 500 before the evening
then I will. - Come on.
Let's do that. Only then will it be perfect.
That's correct. Yes. Ready?
The Mughal empire is known as the empire of empires.
I am the great and fearless Jahangir.
Shah Jahan, my son
when I saw you today with Tharuni
a spoiled common woman
I felt really embarrassed.
She might be a common woman.
But how can you say that she is spoiled, Father?
How did you find that out?
That's too much.
That's enough. I can laugh the rest.
Ready. Let's start!
Even I can find it out, Son.
Because, just like you I am.. - Don't.
Say no more.
I understand everything, Father. - How dare you! - Yes, Father.
Fathering a son like you
is hurting my royal heart
and my crowned head
is hung down in shame.
To be ashamed of one's mistakes is fate.
You deserve that fate. - Shut up, you fool!
I will not hesitate
to imprison you.
If you lock me up, I will no longer be alive, Father.
Do you want to bet on that?
I wonder why you didn't die at birth.
See. The God controls the birth and death.
The king and the servant are the same in front of him.
What can a petty human do?
We are just puppets of sand and fate is our puppet master.
The power to take the decisions in this life
belongs to the fate.
Where each of our time ends, there will be a dark cave.
We will be lost forever in there.
Good. Very good.
Enough! Parappanangadi.
Oh, my God!
S-Stop there! Get him!
Oh, no! - Stop!
Is this part of the rehearsal?
No, this is about that case. Help me.
Hey! Let go! Don't touch him.
I won't let him go until I get my money.
Can you cut out your money from his body?
Don't interfere when you don't know anything.
There is not much to understand here.
He borrowed some money from you.
He hasn't paid you back yet.
Leave me. - By the 10th of the next month
he will repay it with interest. I assure you that.
Are you sure? - Yes.
Come.
Are you sure? - Who knows!
"The Holy place where Lord Krishna resides"
"is Vrindavan."
"The Holy place where Lord Krishna resides"
"is Vrindavan."
"Oh, Lord, it is waiting impatiently"
"for your arrival."
"For your arrival.."
"As an offering to the Almighty"
"the sun rises in the morning."
"As an offering to the Almighty"
"the sun rises in the morning."
"My heart beats for you"
"without anyone knowing."
"Without anyone knowing.."

"Oh Lord, this is the place that became holy"

"Your hymns soothe me"
"and I am lost in your celestial beauty."
"Your celestial beauty.."
"The Holy place where Lord Krishna resides"
"is Vrindavan."
"Oh, Lord! it is waiting impatiently"
"for your arrival."
"For your arrival.."
It has been so long since you left.
Why don't you keep our word?
We, doctors, don't have a fixed working time like teachers.
We, teachers, are the ones
who helped you become a doctor.
Shall I leave? - Wait, I'll drop you.
A young man committed suicide
as he had a debt of Rs. 10,000.
A young man committed suicide
as he had a debt of Rs. 10,000.
A young man committed suicide
as he had a debt of Rs. 10,000.
Three youngsters have committed suicide. - What?
People are killing themselves for silly reasons.
They are so stupid. That is it.
Yes, but there might be another reason.
No one would have helped them.
If this man had come to us
and requested for financial support
as he had no other place to go, we wouldn't have helped him.
But on knowing that he committed suicide
we will regret not trying
to help him out. Isn't it?
Of course, it is the matter of a life.
Can you say that
you might have helped him if he had approached us yesterday for help?
What's the use? He is no more.
You might have helped him in such a situation, isn't it?
I would have helped him. - Okay.
So shall we save a man from death?
He is the man.
Is he the one who expired?
I was predicting tomorrow's news headlines.
I am financially struggling, sir.
If I can't repay the debt by today
I have to commit suicide.
It is a matter of his life.
We will regret it if he commits suicide. Isn't it? - Yes.
Sandeep, when he was caught
by the men of the financier
I agreed to help him by paying the money.
He will repay it soon. I am sure of it.
Shouldn't we help him?
Are you responsible to repay it?
Yes.
You fool. - Yes.
You are the one who created these problems.
Sandeep is ready to help because he is good at heart.
Don't ever repeat it. Will you? - No.
Your script!
Don't throw that!
That is the script of the drama Shah Jahan.
You said you wish to act as a substitute.
Better you learn it by heart.
You can substitute any character for the next one year. Okay?
Fine, I will do it.
Take it.
You saved me. At any cost, I will repay it.
Shall I leave? - Okay.
What happened? You are panting.
Do you feel tired? - No.
I'm perfectly okay.
You are overactive nowadays.
Especially after meeting Bakkar.
Oh, no. He is a nice man.
Listen, Sandeep.
He asked me to by heart their new drama
to act as a substitute.
It is an agreement for a year.
What do you say? I agreed to it.
Go and take rest.
Dr. Warrier asked whether
you have any plans to return to Palakkad?
I don't wish to leave this place.
I wish to spend the rest of my life
with you and to die on your lap.
'I am sad as I have lost all hope'
'to save Devan.'
'This is not the failure of medical science or a doctor'
'but that of a person who loved him a lot.'
'I wish to give him half my lifespan.'
'But it is impossible.'
'Now, I am just helping him'
'to have a peaceful death.'
Mother!
What did you pray?
I was seeking blessings. - From the Almighty.
What did the Almighty say?
Did he forget to take care of me amidst his busy schedule?
No, dear. Don't mock the Almighty.
God can be cruel to us.
Everyone except the Almighty is sensible.
Everyone except God has a set of rules.
Else, he could have let me live peacefully.
Even though we feel so
God is merciful.
Then.. Then I am ready to forget all these cruelties.
He should be just to me at least in my next life.
I.. I want to be your son
in my next life.
I want to rest on your lap
and walk holding your hands.
I want you to punish me for my mischiefs.
I.. I wish to live long like that.
Won't it be nice?
Yes. - Yes.
Deepa, I am signing an agreement with her.
I want you to be the witness.
Why do you look puzzled?
I am puzzled whether I will get into trouble
if I agree without knowing the matter.
I have decided
to be her son in my next life. That is the agreement.
Why should we wait till then?
I consider you as my son even now.
Our profession always deals
with deaths and corpses.
We have many complicated things to do as doctors.
We have even learned to deal
with any horrifying situation
and to take it all as part of the profession.
But I can't witness
his death.
Even though he came to meet me, you bonded with him emotionally.
You are just trying to change his fate.
What did I do?
I am standing helplessly
and witnessing him dying.
Go and meet him.
Geetha
we won't be able to.. - No.
I don't want to. He remains in my heart
as a charismatic brother. Let it be like that.
He wants someone to talk to him.
Better give him some company. I shall leave now.
Shall I leave? - Okay.
Do we ever think of a tearful farewell
while we start a new relation?
I have a gift for you both.
Don't you want to see it? - Yes. - Okay.
'Don't you say that'
'the setting sun and heartbreaks'
'are the greatest sorrows?'
'Have a look at this.'
'You are right. The entire poem mentions'
'about love failure. It hurts me.'
'I was..'
'Why did you bring this rose? - What?'
'What is the date today? - I don't know.'
'Fool! It is your birthday.'
'What a careless fellow!'
'This is the birthday gift for Devan from Meera.'
'This rose will become a poem in my heart.'
'A poem about the colours in my life.'
'Don't you have it now? - Yes.'
'It will last in my heart forever.'
'Shall I whisper the rest in your ears?'
Devan, who is that?
I.. That..
Don't try to find excuses.
You found out everything about us.
You never mentioned any of your personal matters.
Who is this girl?
Is that what you want to know?
She was the heroine of a drama in which I had acted.
Devan
don't try to fool me.
What is her name? - Name..
Why do you want to know her name?
Just to know.
Meera.
Where is she now?
In Bangalore, with her husband.
Is she married? - No, Deepa.
I loved her when she was unmarried.
She was not ready to leave me.
Silly girl! She.. She loved me a lot.
She wanted to be my girl forever.
Whenever she came to meet me
I had recorded our conversations without her knowledge
to listen to her voice while I am alone.
It's good that I didn't marry her.
Her husband is a good fellow.
He won't hurt her.
He cares for her a lot.
When did she get married? - Before three months.
To be exact, it has been three months and seven days.
When did you come here?
I came here..
It has been three months and seven days, isn't it?
Yes.
Why did I tell these things to you?
Leave it.. Be seated!
Have a look at this.
My gift for you both.
I want you to do the ring exchange as early as possible.
Will you do that? - Yes.
What are you thinking?
I got it..
Even Deepa might be dreaming of you just like this.
Love is complicated, isn't it?
Just go. I am busy.
You are not busy, but crazy to sit in the dark.
The sky is filled with stars. Let's go count them. Come.
Leave me alone, Devan. Don't irritate me.
It's tough to act as you wish.
Just go to bed.
Sorry.
Devan!
Devan, I.. - I know
that you are worried about me and my life.
But Sandeep, if you are worried like this, then me..
You have been reminding me the things I wish to forget
for the past few days.
I had accepted the reality
before coming here.
But here
I was treated with love and care.
I have lived my entire life in these few months.
But upon seeing your face
I feel down. I can't take it.
Devan.
Inform Warrier that I will be there by tomorrow.
Devan.
Are you strong enough to leave me?
It will happen one day for sure. That too, soon.
But.. You.. You are not going anywhere.
You won't go anywhere.
You can't leave this place.
Can you..
You said you wrote a poem during your college days.
I need to record it in your own voice.
Come.
"The soul is leaving the body."
"The senseless world calls it death."
"Life is a journey towards death."
"The soul is leaving the body."
"The eternal and amazing journey."
"A journey towards an unknown destination."
You should speak now.
Sandeep.
Listen.
The god controls the birth and death.
The king and the servant are the same in front of him.
What can a petty human do?
We are just puppets of sand and fate is our puppet master.
The power to take the decisions in this life
belongs to the fate.
Where each of our time ends
there will be a dark cave.
In there.. We will be lost forever in there.
You must take rest, my dear.
It's your profession. Just see it like that.
Is Devan awake? - He is just lying there.
Dear.
We have to make an offering in Nelluvazha Dhanvantari temple
for curing his disease.
It will work.
He won't neglect our prayers.
I should go there.
But if you leave in this situation..
We must not postpone what is necessary.
I want to see him alive
and active again. - Yes.
Even if our medicines fail
God could always change his mind.
You can go.
We will be here.
Manoharan..
Yes.
Greetings! - Sit down.
Oh, no. I can't, sir. I am a little busy.
Where is he?
He is.. - I swear on my mother
that I wouldn't be alive if you hadn't helped me, sir.
I would have used the script which I had for years
as my last play.
It wasn't me.
Devan is the real reason.
Consider it his generosity.
The God will surely help him for that, sir.
Yes.
God should help him.
There is a show at Trikaripur tomorrow.
The final rehearsal is today.
He liked Shah Jahan a lot.
Can you please call him? - But..
He can't come with you today.
That won't work.
He has by hearted the script as a substitute.
The instant I say that the actor quit
he will be here.
I had already told him
to play the role and not just as a substitute.
But he said that he might have to take a long journey.
So we made him a substitute.
Call him, please.
I will be back after the offering.
By the time I will be back
his illness will be cured.
Are you making an offering to cure an illness?
Today, people are planning to build a hotel on the moon.
Why do you still believe in this, mister?
That too right in front of a famous Oncologist.
Superstition is destroying the Indian community, sir.
Please, shut up!
If a doctor and his medicine can't cure it
then prayer and offerings will cure it.
It has happened before.
You are mistaken.
Offerings and prayers at a temple or a mosque are pointless.
Do you want to bet on it? - For sure.
You will see. - You will lose.
I have never lost a bet.
It's a bet then. - Okay.
Why is a doctor like you allowing these offerings and prayers?
Well.. Is anyone close to him ill?
When a loved one's life is at stake
everyone will become superstitious.
The patient is not only close to him.
He is my brother, too.
Is it, sir? - Yes.
It's Devan. - What?
There is a big tumour in his stomach.
He is living amongst us
waiting for death to claim him.
He never told you that.
Oh, God!
What are you saying?
So, was that the last script
he was walking around with..
Can I see him?
Nothing else. I just want to see him.
Come.
Devan.
Yes.
Look who is here.
Thomaskutty. - Manoharan.
What are you doing? The final rehearsal is today.
The costume, music and lights are all ready.
And you are here sleeping. Are you kidding me?
This is final for me too.
Look at me.
The costume for the final show
music and the lights are all ready.
You did well.
All this time, you had
this awesome script in your bag and you never told us.
Okay. You are the one who deserves all the cheers.
Good job.
I have nothing to say.
I am out of dialogues to say.
Or else.. Or else I would have defeated you.
Do you want to bet?
That's a bet. - Okay.
We can compete up there.
Prepare for a good show there.
I will be there soon.
Are you coming there
to humiliate me by taking loans?
Manoharan.
Hey! Bakkar.
What is this?
I want God to help me
lose my bet to that old man, sir.
I want to lose it, sir.
Hey! You must go.
Go on.
"God is the greatest."
"Praise the God."
"God, the most gracious, the most merciful".
"Say, Allah is the one."
Devan.
This will ease the pain.
Here. - No.
O-Oh, no!
Okay.
Open the window.
I want to look outside.
Ravi.
I am going to meet Dr. Varma.
He might have some special medicines.
What is the use of it now?
It might help.
It might take away his pain.
God won't shut his eyes to our sorrows.
I will be right back.
Sandeep.
Don't go.
I will be right back.
You..You are going to be all right.
Please don't go anywhere.
Please don't leave me and go anywhere.
Don't be afraid. Trust me.
You are going to be all right. I'll be right back.
Deepa.
I can't die.
I can't afford to leave you all.
He won't be able to tolerate it.
Sandeep is a sensitive person.
If I die, he would..
I can't die, Deepa.
Devan.
Sandeep..
Isn't he back yet?
Sandeep. - He'll be right back.
You are going to be all right.
Why are you injecting that cold syringe
beneath my foot?
Tell them to stop it.
He is not back yet, is he?
Ravi. - Yes.
I want to see him.
I want to hear his voice.
Can you play the recorder?
'The soul is leaving the body.'
'The senseless world calls it death.'
'Life is a journey towards death.'
'The soul is leaving the body.'
'The eternal and amazing journey.'
'A journey towards an unknown destination.'
Devan.
Talk to me.
I am not done listening to your voice.
Tell me. Tell me something.
It's your brother who is calling you. Talk to me.
Tell me something. Devan.
Talk to me.
Talk to me like how you have talked to me all these years.
'Sandeep.'
'Listen.'
'God controls the birth and death.'
'The king and the servant are the same in front of him.'
'What can a petty human do?'
'We are just puppets of sand and fate is our puppet master.'
'The power to take the decisions in this life belongs to the fate.'
'Where each of our time ends, there will be a dark cave.'
'In there.. We will be lost forever in there.'
