"Oh, lovely girl! Who is going to be your partner?"
"Who is the one that dressed you up so beautifully?"
"For whom are these celebrations awaiting?"
"Who is it?"
"Who is that lucky person?"
"Who is going to come this way"
"into your heart with all the pomp and show?"
"Wedding fortune.."
"Oh, lovely girl! Who is going to be your partner?"
"Who is the one that dressed you up so beautifully?"
"The autumn season has arrived and the sky is blushing."
"Why aren't you happy about your wedding?"
"The nuptial chain is made of blossoms gifted by the spring."
"It's a bride's dream to get married to her love."
"An old proverb says that women are Goddesses."
"Your dreams and prayers fill the earth."
"Oh, lovely girl! Who is going to be your partner?"

"You are my mother and sweet sister."
"I pray your marriage doesn't bring you tears."
"I always wish to see you smile."

Mercy, are the grains dry?
Yes, they will if they are kept in the sun.
Take care that you don't get tanned along with the grains.
Mind your own business. - Where are your brother and father?
They went out.
Where is your sister? - Find out for yourself.
Okay.
You should be concentrating on your work rather than eyeballing me.
You were hired to tap the coconut trees, not to criticise me.
Are you blind?
The chickens were eating the grains.
Where is Rosely? - She went to the church.
Doesn't she have any other work?
She has nothing to do even if she stays here.
Jose, what is all the fuss about?
I'm having a bad day.
I had gone to a man several times
so that he'll take an insurance policy.
As he agreed, I got him the health certificate at my expense.
When I went today, he went back on his word
saying he will take it after two years.
How can he be so sure that he will live for another two years?
Who is this person? - The son of Chathu, Divakaran.
He and his wife know nothing about the benefits of life insurance.
We cannot foresee the danger that may be lurking.
I wanted to have a talk with you.
People in your profession need
at least two or three insurance policies of LIC.
If something happens to you, LIC will be there
to help you in any circumstances.
Are you aware of the benefits of the policy?
Jose, I have to get to work. - Please let me finish.
This is more important than your job.
Only LIC can provide us a lifetime security.
There are many programs and policies.
These are.. - Please listen to me.
You are talking about the money I will get after my death.
But I have to get to work to earn the money to survive now.
You have misunderstood me. - Oh, no!
It's not just about the money you get after your death.
These programs.. Listen to me. - I have to go.
He is too stupid to understand that it is for his own good.
Jose.
It's futile to fume over other's security and stupidity.
What about our future and security?
If you think about it, it's actually funny.
Hey.
Don't be afraid. It's only me, Kunjukuttan.
You might have heard of me. - No. - What?
How is that you haven't heard of me before?
That's surprising.
Where are you from, dear? - I am from Mela manor.
Oh, I see you are Mr. 'Kaliyugam' Paramu Nair's daughter.
Yes. - You should have said so.
I have the photograph and details right here.
My dear.
Do you know how many proposals I had brought for you?
Your father simply won't agree to them.
He won't even pay me for the trouble I take up.
Hence, I gave up.
How old are you now?
I am 20 years old. - You look younger though.
However, at this age, you should've been a mother by now.
Don't worry. I will take care of this.
So, are you fixing marriages in the middle of the road?
If you want, we shall step into the field instead.
I see that none of this matters to you.
That's not it, Kunjukuttan. I need to find someone interesting, right?
Also, the one I am interested in, isn't interested in me.
Why don't you get married instead of ogling at women?
Understand that you're ageing as the years go by.
I have found someone interesting.
She is just amazing!
And I mean, she's fantastic.
You will get some dowry as well.
It would be impossible to take your eyes off her.
We can go and meet her tomorrow itself if you want.
That would be Rs. 50 for the travel expenses.
Does she have a fair complexion? - Seriously!
She's as fair as a white rose.
She has very long hair.
It's straight as well.
Talking about her figure.
She has a lovely figure as well.
You won't be able to resist it. - Really? - Yes.
In that case.. - Yes.
You can marry her. - Okay. What?
'Hotel Ramesh.'
Paramu Nair..
'Kaliyugam!'
I thought that you had passed out.
Will you not say such things?
The times are bad and anything might happen.
Like you're going to survive for 100 years with this tea shop.
It'll all be over for you
once God decides your fate. - Let it happen when he decides it.
Do you really have to say it and make it happen?
Will you at least get up?
How will you prosper if you sleep all the time?
Yes, right. All this is a part of my bad time.
I remember when my business used to bloom.
Even you remember those days.
Well, there is no point talking about it.
Please get me a strong tea. - We're out of milk.
Shouldn't you keep at least some milk, Paramu Nair?
Get me a black tea.
We're out of sugar.
Buy some from Chacko's store.
I have already doused the stove. I can't fire it up again.
Then why do you have to leave the store open?
Why don't you close it and rest at home?
Are you serious? That's just great.
Everybody tends to tease me with this.
And I happened to be known as 'Kaliyugam' Paramu Nair.
But I have a point.
Has anybody felt peaceful during this 'Kali Yuga'?
Well, do you have any peace of mind?
Well, if you ask so.. - I understand there isn't any.
If you have maidens in your family
there goes away your peace of mind.
It's been ages since you've been trying to fix
Rosely's marriage, right?
I saw her on the way from church today.
She seems to be frustrated all the time.
Well, it's not like we haven't noticed it, Nair.
She got a message from God. - Message from God?
To become a nun.
Your elder daughter is already a nun.
At least, let this one have a family.
It's not like we don't want to.
Every family wants a high amount as dowry.
How are we going to afford it? - Even I am asking the same thing.
Even if we give them a huge dowry, what's the guarantee
that it would work out?
Did you hear about Kumaran's daughter?
No. - It's been only three months since she's been married.
They got a letter recently saying she is no more. - What?
They said that the stove burst into flames.
Probably it's because the entire dowry wasn't given.
If they had, this might not have happened.
Bad times. But still, no one believes me.
The entire world has been struck with bad times.
This is why I don't let Subhadra out.
Although we must ensure that she is fed.
Then again, such accidents would never happen.
I was never able to stay with Gangadharan after marriage.
I've been in this hell for two years.
Did we compel you to be here?
It's not like you're being forced to stay.
Then tell me what I must do.
Should I get out into the streets?
This is why I said that none of you are bothered about my child and me.
Come here, dear. - There's no use in it.
Don't we have to arrange an amount of Rs. 25,000?
How should I arrange that? - It needn't be in cash.
He would accept it as property as well.
Oh, you don't need to make such sacrifices!
I have to take care of their marriages as well.
Don't I have to marry them off to an idiot like yours?
Are you saying that Gangadharan is an idiot?
What's so funny? No wonder nobody is ready to marry you.
At least, I have an idiot as my husband.
You both won't even get that.
I didn't mean that! - Then what did you mean?
Can you please stop shouting, Subhadra?
I am always at fault.
My life is ruined. Oh, God! I am all alone.
All I asked was, why do you have to distress him so much.
My son wouldn't have troubled you if he was capable.
Then, whom do I tell my problems?
Sister, I am aware of the situation.
But why do you have to bring it up all the time?
Once I have a job
I won't even consider myself unless I've attended to your needs.
I can't assure you anything else.
What are you looking at, Damodaran?
No, it's nothing.
I saw a lizard and I thought it was a snake.
Let them stay there.
Mind your own business and get lost!
Rameshan.
Would you like some fresh, sweet toddy?
'Smoking is injurious to health.'
Both of us are in the same situation.
Sometimes, I feel that father has a point.
We're not going to be in peace during this 'Kaliyuga'.
Your dad and his philosophies.
He'd never admit his part in any problem.
And he'd always blame it on 'Kaliyuga'.
It seems you are going to retain your father's reputation.
'Kaliyugam' Rameshan, son of 'Kaliyugam' Paramu Nair.
Oh. Do you really feel
that we would come out of our problems?
Of course, we will.
Good and bad times come and go.
It is like a seesaw.
Like my father keeps saying
I'd become a development officer someday.
I'd take Rs. 1 lakh and 50 sovereigns of gold
and marry a beautiful woman.
I will give away Rs. 30,000, 15 sovereigns each
and conduct Rosely's and Mercy's marriage.
So, after giving away Rs. 30,000, what would be the remaining amount?
Rs. 40,000 and 20 sovereigns.
Which means that would amount to at least Rs. 1.5 lakh.
Yes. - I'd develop my business out of it.
I'll become a rich man then.
And I'd buy two tractors for my father.
Also, I'd buy myself a white Maruti Deluxe.
So that I can take my wife around.
Who is going to give you Rs. 1 lakh and 50 sovereigns
as dowry and a beautiful woman?
Well, that's.. It is going to be a problem, isn't it?
You and your dreams.
If I had a good job or a successful business, I could get
at least 25 sovereigns and Rs. 50,000, right?
That would be enough.
At least, I can marry my sisters off.
You are lucky when it comes to that.
Hasn't your future father-in-law made a lot of money
by fooling the villagers in the name of treatment?
He has only one daughter.
All that would be yours one day.
Kochu Raman. - Yes?
Have you prepared the medicine? - Yes.
A customer is coming this way.
Weren't you hesitant to prepare the medicine today?
Now look at that.
I can tell when a customer would come by or not.
That is my brilliance.
That is.. - My brilliance.
Excuse me! - Your brilliance. - Okay.
It might be a poisonous cobra. - Cobra.
Yes. He hasn't had enough of poisoning people.
Please come in.. Have a seat.
I was waiting for you.
Waiting for me? How did you know about my arrival?
Nobody needs to mention it.
My intuitions are always right.
Not all doctors would get it right all the time.
You must be pure. You'd need to be..
We can talk.
What would you need?
To be pure. - I didn't ask you.
What would we need? - To be pure.
Exactly. The mind and body should be pure.
Oh, I see.
There is nothing to worry about.
Be glad that you made it here. I shall take care of the rest.
Even if the medicines don't work on you
I'd make sure that the venom is taken out.
They can't mess around with Rama Kurup.
With Rama Kurup..
Oh, I see that I haven't got it wrong.
You see, Doctor.
I think that we both have misunderstood each other.
I understood everything.
Did you see the thing which bit you?
I came to see the thing and talk about it.
Did you come to see the thing?
Yes. I am here with a marriage proposal for your daughter.
Not because a snake bit me.
I-Isn't it cobra?
It's not cobra, it's Kunjukuttan. K.K. Kunjukuttan!
Kochu Raman. - Yes.
Something went wrong. - Yes.
You might not have lit the lamp in the serpent temple.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have made this mistake.
I'm leaving, Father.
I have kept the porridge ready. Have it when it's hot. - Okay..
She is my one and only daughter.
Ramadevi.
I am everything for her.
I sent her for typewriting classes as a time pass.
What did I do? - You sent her for typewriting.
The groom is also nice.
He is from a good family
and is settled in Dubai.
Where?
Dubai. - Yes.
I am not looking for a groom settled abroad.
Then what kind are you looking for?
I have different types of brides and grooms
in my file.
You can enquire anywhere
whether the weddings I have arranged have gone bad.
I don't have the habit of cheating, betraying
backstabbing or double crossing.
I keep everything straight forward.
Talk to me frankly about the kind
of groom you want
his grades or even his skin colour.
Who should we fear when we are frank?
Why should we..
Fear anyone?
We've been in the medical field traditionally.
We are interested in a doctor.
He should go forward with the tradition after I am done.
I am ready to pay any amount of money.
Enough. I just need your word.
I just need..
Complete that sentence. - Your word.
How much should I pay for a doctor?
Well, it was around Rs. 5 lakhs in the market.
Now, the market is quite dull.
Still, we will get it for almost Rs. 2 lakhs.
Well, did you eat anything?
You may have some porridge.
That's not needed. - Okay.
Do you have coconut Chutney?
Do we have it? - No. - No.
Then I shall have some porridge.
What? - I said that I shall have some porridge.
Don't step on my foot. - Move.
Hey. - Where do you want to go? Where?
Don't step on my foot. - Okay.
Spare some change. - Well..
Step aside. - What is this?
If you don't have change in the morning, how can I have it?
Move.. - Mister.. Move aside.
Where? - There.
Ticket? - Oh, give some space. - Move, mister. He has to get down.
You may get down when the bus stops.
Go in front.
Go inside. Please adjust.
Please adjust one more in your seat.
Can you move backwards? - Okay.
Okay, next person get the ticket. - Stamp on my feet. - Okay.
Ticket.
How dare you step on my foot?
This is common in buses.
If you can't stand it, hire a taxi.
If you want to step on people's foot, bring your family along.
I will bring them along. What will you do about that?
How is it now? This is the pain everyone experiences.
Get lost.
If I take a ticket and travel, I shall do what I like.
If you want to do what you like
bring your father with you.
If you ever talk about my father.. - What will you do?
Isn't your father a bloody miser? - Move.
How dare you curse my father! - I will not spare you.
Hey! Give her the letter.
Can't people travel peacefully?
Move.
Hey, Rama.
Are you mad?
Didn't you get a Saree even after pulling out everything?
If she doesn't like it, what can I do?
You did not like what she liked
and she didn't like what you liked.
Do you lose your senses when you see girls?
I should be blamed for employing you.
You're right. - What?
About the blame.
Stop blabbering and arrange it.
That's what I'm doing.
Greetings, sir.
You said that you'd consider taking our policy.
I did not get time to think about it. - What?
Is this a marriage proposal to think so deeply?
Hey, talk to him for me.
Shall I sign you up for a 'Jeevan Dhara'? - Not now.
Then I shall sign your children up for a 'Jeevan Balya'.
We shall think about that later.
Please make a decision while I'm alive.
Did you ask about the leave on Wednesday?
No. If I ask him about that without having a good sale
I will have to face his wrath. Bastard!
Chuck this. We'll find another job.
If so, give me some job. I'll come.
I do have a job. - What is it?
Ogling at girls.
We were waiting for you to complete your prayers.
Do you visit this temple often, Raji?
Sometimes. I have to walk this far.
We usually go to Vellipally.
If there is something special, we go to all the three places.
What is so special about today?
Today my brother has gone to Thrissur to write a test.
I made three offerings.
I wish he gets through.
He will get it. Even I have prayed for him.
So, he is keeping you updated.
Come to our house one day.
You haven't met mother, father and Subhadra.
We will say that you are my friend.
Is that enough?
No. Better you come home
with all the due rights.
But you should definitely come.
My brother is very innocent.
I will come.
I shall leave.
I understood. - What?
I know. She is going to be our sister-in-law, right?
We won't get this job.
I won't go even if I get.
We won't be able to do it.
Then why did we simply waste money and go to Thrissur?
To make my parents and neighbours feel that I'm trying something.
If somebody asks us about our job, it's better to say
that we have written a test in KSRTC and are waiting
for our results rather than saying that we are jobless.
That is true.
Our acquaintances are more concerned about our future than us.
Wherever we go, the first question would be about the job
followed by many pieces of advice.
I'm fed up. - Stop..
What?
There is somebody in front of your house.
Will it be a thief? - There is nothing to steal in my house.
Come. - Come.
Oh, no.. - Was it you, Father?
It's my father. - Yes.
Why are you standing here?
Nothing, it's hot inside. It's cool out here.
How was the test?
It was good. - Will you get through?
Hopefully.
Will you get posted in four-five months?
Yes. - Okay.
You should leave fast, Jose.
Varkey is waiting in the shop.
I shall leave. I'll see you tomorrow. - Okay.
What's the matter, Father?
Gangadharan has come.
You have been fooling me for the last three years.
When I come here, both, dad and son, will go missing.
My last bus is at 8:30 p.m.
I will have to hire a taxi
if I miss that bus.
He is late today.
I know. He must have known that I am here.
I have a child now
otherwise, I would have married someone else.
When did you come, Gangadharan?
I had gone to Thrissur to write a test.
Sit down, Gangadharan. - I didn't come to sit.
What is your final decision? I need to know that.
We are not saying that we won't give you money.
It's not a small amount, it's Rs. 25,000. We will give you.
It's been three years now.
Even I need a family life.
We have not tied up your wife and child.
You can take them anytime you want. - Hey.
Don't think I'm stupid.
I'm a police officer.
If I don't get my money
your sister will not have a life with me.
Why are you silent?
I have nothing to say.
It's our fate.
We'll let you know when we arrange the money
then you can take her along.
If you can't agree, do as you wish.
We don't have any other option.
I don't have anyone now.
I'll end my life with my child.
Don't be sad, Subhadra.
You have all of us.
You won't have any problem here.
But my child won't have a father.
Get up, Rameshan.
Come and have your dinner.
Did Gangadharan leave?
He and Subhadra slept after dinner.
His last bus has already left it seems.
He misses the bus whenever he comes.
As soon as you came
I got some milk from the teacher's house and boiled it.
I knew that you would miss the last bus today. - Naughty!
Just because our expenses are less, don't spend all of your salary.
Remember that we have a daughter.
You need not notify me of that.
I am depositing the money I get in the bank secretly.
And the small expenses that I incur are dealt with the bribe I get.
Don't waste our time talking.
I have to catch the bus at 5:30 a.m.
Turn off the lights. - For what?
I am fine even if you don't turn it off.
But it would be better if you turn it off.
Move..
Hey, Jose.
What? - What are you doing?
Can't you see? I am ploughing.
What?
I didn't educate you for this after working hard.
Do you want to plough fields after getting a B.A. degree?
Why can't I?
Hey. I asked you to do this, why did you let him do it?
Let him know this as well, Mr. Varkey.
Oh! It will be nice.
Hey, bull.
I stopped my education and learnt agriculture.
So I was the one who didn't prosper among the three kids of my father.
He is going to become a development officer.
Don't make the townsfolk gossip.
Why should we care about them?
They have a habit of getting jealous.
If you work in the field for two days, they will make you a farmer.
I need to face people.
I wanted to make you a doctor.
You couldn't become one. That's all right.
Aren't you sure that you would become a development officer?
Don't lose your reputation.
Development officer is not that great.
Hey.
Go and stand in the shade.
Bull!
You will get tanned if you stand under the sun. Move aside.
Bull!
Father!
You both have to come fast.
Somebody has come to meet sister.
The land and house together would add up to one acre.
That is more than enough.
You will get a lot of coconuts from the land.
But I cannot see any right now.
It's because everything has fallen.
Then they have bitter gourd
ladies' finger, eggplant and a lot more.
They have around two acres of paddy field.
They are getting good returns from it.
Leave all that.
The girl is really beautiful.
A government teacher came with a proposal for her.
She didn't like him.
She has a brother.
He is some officer.
He is very sweet.
You are lucky to have an alliance with them, Thomas.
They have come. It's her brother and dad.
Did you reach long back? - No, I just reached.
It's time to sow seeds in the field. - Okay.
He came along to see everything.
What's your name? - Thomaskutty.
It's a good name. - Sit..
Please change your dress, Rosely.
This is enough.
It's okay if he doesn't like me this way.
I have dressed up many times.
Did anyone like me?
It's all about luck.
How would we know when luck will favour us?
Luck!
Most of them are bothered about dowry more than me.
First, ask him how much money he wants.
After that, I will see him.
What's the matter? - Nothing.
Then why does she look angry?
What happened.. - Nothing.
Do you know who the guy is?
He is related to Avarachan from Palepally.
He is from a very reputed family.
They have some financial issues.
But we don't have to care about that.
The guy is very good.
He has a very good character.
What is his job?
He has many jobs.
Well, does he have a job which is decent enough?
It's a government agency for the lottery. - Where is it?
It doesn't necessarily need a location.
It's usually a transfer.
Oh, does he sell lottery tickets?
Cycle or car? - It's more profitable to walk and sell them.
Do you know how much they'd earn
as a commission for the winning ticket?
It's huge. Then..
They won't be asking for a huge dowry.
What are they expecting? - They have high expectations.
I have settled it for a reasonable amount.
However, that would affect my commission.
You just need to pay me for my loss.
You haven't told us the demand.
All they are asking is for 20 sovereigns of gold and Rs. 30,000.
20 sovereigns and Rs. 30,000? - Yes.
That is their demands.
We can still bargain.
Okay, you may wait outside. She needs to get ready.
Please dress up well, dear.
He is adamant that the bride must look good.
What are the snacks?
You may wait outside. - Do hurry up.
He is a busy man. The market gathers today.
Can we fix it at least this time?
Get the tea ready.
We shall think of the rest later. - Mercy shall do it.
She's not coming. - It's not right.
What if they insist on meeting the girl? - I shall explain it.
I will tell him she has a headache.
Let's go.
I knew that this wouldn't happen.
Did you have visitors today, too?
Did you like the groom? - I didn't meet him.
Why is that? - I am fed up.
I am not going to get married. - Do you plan to become a nun?
Yes. - Oh, no. If that's what pretty women like you
plan to do, that would be a loss for men like me. - Please wait.
I didn't call you. You shall leave.
Do you want to go with him? - No.
Then please leave.
Where the hell did he come from? - What?
Did he say something? - No, not at all. - Be careful, mister.
Isn't he the son of Mr. Chathutty
who died falling from the tree? - Yes.
And who are you? - Daughter of Varkey from Thottingal.
What is the relation between the son of Mr. Chathutty
and daughter of Varkey from Thottingal?
Don't get angry. Getting a bad name is easy.
I have a daughter as well. My daughter
won't even speak to a stranger.
She won't even..
- Speak to a stranger. - Yes.
Why must we interfere into other's matters?
I am a man who has spent his life as a bachelor.
I can't stand to watch this.
People should be able to travel comfortably on these streets.
They should be able to.. - Travel comfortably.
Do you feel uncomfortable? - No. I'm fine.
Then let's go.
He is a B.Sc. graduate and works as a clerk in the RT Office. - Okay.
He earns Rs. 1,700.
And he makes around 7000 rupees from the bribe. - Okay.
He hails from a good family. Both his sisters are married.
One among them is an engineer, and the other is a lawyer.
He has an amazing complexion.
A decent man.
He has no bad habits such as smoking or drinking.
The best part is that she wouldn't have a mother-in-law.
Shall we give it a try?
What would be their demand?
We are lucky that we found someone who is asking for so less.
All they are asking for is 50 sovereign of gold and Rs. 1 Lakh.
Bad times. Please keep this for yourself.
Didn't you like him? I have more.
Do you want something better or inferior?
Is there anyone who just wants the girl and not the money?
How would that be possible?
Whom are you going to find?
Would a labourer be fine?
You just need to give Rs. 15,000.
You shouldn't tell me the conditions like the groom should be
fair, and your daughter doesn't want a mother-in-law.
We will put forward a condition. That is necessary.
What is the condition? - The groom should be a man.
We can't steal just because we have a girl child.
Don't be upset.
We will find a way.
Don't you have a son?
I will make sure he gets Rs. 1,50,000
and 60 sovereigns of gold.
He is not working in RT Office for getting that much dowry.
It's not necessary. He is handsome.
And you are a hotel owner.
What? I am not.
You are the proprietor of Hotel Ramesh.
Your son who has a BA degree. He doesn't need a job.
I can make it possible, Mr. Nair.
Mr. Nair, I am not like Mary. I am K.K. Kunjukuttan.
Take a look at this. Which one do you want?
Keep this back. - What?
This is my daughter. - Is it? I am sorry.
She is pretty.
Isn't she the daughter of Rama Kurup?
Oh, no. Give it to me. I have written doctors only behind it.
Really? - I will show you others.
Did you see her? You will get whatever money you ask them.
She is having a problem with her left leg.
That's not a problem. She got it in her childhood.
Don't you want that? I have other alliances.
Look at her. She is working as a nurse in Germany.
He won't have to work after marriage.
They are not bothered about caste, job or anything else.
What do they want? - They don't want anything.
Then. - Yes.
We don't want it, Kunjukuttan.
Why are you talking to frauds, Mr. Nair?
Who is a fraud?
Some people show the wrong bride and get people married.
Who is that?
Don't talk rubbish, Mary.
I am not talking to you, Kunjukuttan. Don't talk to me.
Who are you mocking right now?
She cheated a man by getting him married to the mother of two kids.
People in the town know very well who did it.
Don't act smart, Mary.
I will defame you if you try to act smart with me.
She is not married even after
being a marriage broker.
Who are you to talk like that?
I will beat you up if you try to defame me
by spreading gossips. Rascal!
Please don't talk about this in my shop. Both of you can leave.
Get lost, 'Kaliyugam' Nair.
I will not spare you if you try to work in my area.
She will do what she says.
Get me a cup of tea. I am fine even without milk or sugar.
Oh, no. There is no tea powder here.
Okay. Your shop will be shut down soon.
You don't have tea powder, milk and other necessary items.
And you call yourself a hotel owner!
The daughter who got married is staying with us.
I can't conduct Radhika's marriage until I solve Subhadra's issue.
Don't worry about me.
Anyway, my daughter's and my life is ruined.
Don't ruin my sisters' future because of me.
We will adjust here.
He didn't like what I said.
Sister, don't make me angry.
How can we secure her future if it's not a government employee?
I can't arrange the dowry asked by a government employee.
We need a man who can take care of her.
What happened to Subhadra who married a government employee?
Don't blame him. He is my husband.
I didn't blame him. I said there is no point in it.
Subhadra got a policeman even though she failed in her tenth.
Radhika is a graduate.
You want an SI for her, right?
Mother, it's not going to happen.
Don't wish for something you can't get.
People make fun of us by calling 'The children of hotel owner'.
I used to say the same to boast in the past.
He won't close the shop if I ask him to do so.
Please start another profitable business.
Otherwise, this family will be in ruins.
Will you get money from your house to start a new business?
I got only 50 cents of land as a dowry.
Please bring Rs 15,000 for starting a new business.
Go and ask my dead father. He might have saved some for you.
Women will also shout in this new era.
If you are planning to conduct her marriage by selling the property
then please give our share to us.
Please don't worry. I am there for you.
Jose, we should do something.
We need to make money. What should we do?
It would have been easy if there was a way to make money.
There is no exact way to make money.
Let us start a business.
We always think about it.
We have thought about many projects and left it.
Let us print counterfeit currency. - I am ready.
Are you ready? - No.
We will get beaten up.
Is there any business which we can do without getting hurt?
Yes, of course. We can beg.
There is no trouble in that.
We can start a commission agency for lottery and pimping.
Damn. That's not a decent job.
What about the job of an IAS officer?
Don't make fun of me. Please think about it.
Do we need to invest too much in commission agency?
That depends on the materials we sell.
We need to spend a lot on items like television and fridge.
We can't spend that much.
Jose, please be serious.
I am serious.
There are agencies where we don't need to invest.
LIC, real estate and pimping.
Marriage agency is a civilised term for that.
You can be a marriage broker.
There are many like that. What do you want?
What will be profitable?
LIC is not easy. I am doing that.
LIC won't work in our village.
We might get Rs. 5000 for big deals in real estate business.
Marriage agency is similar to that.
We will get some money from it even if we don't work.
If we organise a wedding with a dowry of Rs. 1 lakh
we will get four percentage from both the families.
We will get Rs. 4000 from it.
We can get it by using our brain and by talking.
Do you want to try?
We will try.
Are you kidding? - No. Are you ready?
It's not a decent job.
Money is more important.
Oh, no.. Damn..
It's not a decent job. Don't do it.
Please get me a decent job, Father.
How can I get you a job? - Then don't say this.
I don't mind.
Don't think only about yourself. We'll have to bear the humiliation.
We need to live in this place with pride.
You don't need to do that for some time.
I am not going for robbery. - It would have been better.
You will think so because that is what you are doing now.
Oh, God. What is he talking?
Did you hear him, Mother?
You don't need to shout for that.
My uncle was a marriage broker. He used to have a good income.
Your family might have made income in many ways.
It should not happen in my family.
Then you can pay him money so that he can do some other business.
Don't talk. You shouldn't talk when I am here.
You were not doing anything till now.
You don't need to fight. I have decided it.
I will start an office in the place of the tea stall.
What about the tea stall?
Please close it.
We won't be called 'The hotel owner's children' anymore.
Oh, no.
I won't give that space even for starting a jewellery store.
Where will I start my office?
An office? What office?
What did you think, Father? - I won't agree for this.
You shouldn't do this.
This is not why I paid for your education.
I wanted a doctor in the family. That's why I'd sent you to study.
You didn't become a doctor.
Later you promised to be a development officer.
Now you are going to be a marriage broker.
You can go for it after my death.
Or else, you can come to work in the fields.
Father, please listen to him.
I don't want to hear anything.
I raised you with care and love so that you don't miss your mother.
I thought you would take care of the family after my death.
My plans are failing. - Don't talk like I'm going to die.
We are not going to be like the regular marriage brokers.
This is a commission agency.
Do you know what a commission agency is?
What is it? - I am asking you.
It's not a good job as a development officer.
Yes. Have you heard about big shipping agencies?
Have you heard about TVS and Popular?
What about Bofors?
I have heard about it.
They are big commission agencies.
They earn crores from that.
It's our first initiative towards a business like that.
Did they start like this? - Yes, of course.
You were talking about a marriage agency before.
We will also take care of marriage alliances.
The people who are searching for brides and grooms
should come and register the name in the office.
We will keep separate files for their details and demands.
We will inform the families after we find a suitable match.
When they come to the office for discussion
we will present the bill and take our commission.
Okay. You should have told me clearly like this.
I thought you are going to be like Mary..
Oh, no. Did you understand now? - I understood.
You want Rs. 2000, right? - Yes. - You can take it from Sai.
Let him take our coconuts for this year.
Do you think that father understood what you said?
He might have thought that it is a big business.
Poor soul.
Father finds you as the answer
to all of my and his problems.
You can do any job that won't break that trust.
This is not a job that would make me happy.
I am doing this for the both of you.
Don't get tensed about me.
Mercy can take care of her work now.
What about you?
You friend is coming.
All went well, Jose.
Father agreed to it.
But he doesn't intend to close his tea stall.
He said he would move to a corner.
Father has agreed to give me Rs. 2,000.
So, shall we begin? - Yes.
Why is he taking so long?
Here you go.
Your future is going to be bright.
Whatever it may be, my life will still be in the dark.
From what I know, there will be 10 to 100 people coming here.
You will need a lot of tea.
Prepare some nice Dosas and Vadas.
Who do you think will do it? Narayani can't do much.
Why should Narayani do it? Ask the children.
Now that they have grown up, I can try asking.
He doesn't like it.
He doesn't like me running this tea stall in his office.
There is no point blaming them.
We have to consider our children's status.
When I see my son, Jose, dressed in formals and talking in English
I move aside.
We might not be appropriately dressed then.
No matter what, you are his father.
No, we should change according to our son's growing status.
It looks like you are making preparations for a wedding.
We are preparing for a wedding.
How can there be a wedding that I didn't know about?
Not just that, you won't ever get to know
about anyone's wedding in this town, Kunjukuttan.
Why so? - From thousand girls
you may choose your bride.
Countless women to choose from.
Swayamwara Marriage Consultants and Commission Agents.
The inauguration is on the next Sunday morning at 10.
Poonkunnathu Rama Kurup will be the chief guest.
Swayamwara Marriage Consultants and Commission Agents.
I didn't know about this.
I am finished!
Hey, are you lost in your dreams?
What were you thinking about?
Nothing at all.
It is not right for girls of your age to think so much.
Where are Shobha and your mother?
They are not here. - Where did they go?
To the shop. Today is brother's shop's inauguration.
'Swayamwara.' - May God bless this agency
and may it prosper
and become a successful company.
May God..
Bless us. - That is more than enough for me.
Okay, come here.
Sit here.
Let me be the first one to register.
We are more than happy.
Write it down. - No, you do it.
You write.
Doesn't he know to read and write?
Ramadevi.
20 years old.
You know the address, don't you? - Yes.
Don't make noise. All of you will get one.
Stand there. - Don't fight.
Oh, no! My leg.
Where are the other kids? - Don't make noise.
Stop crowding over here and move aside.
I didn't get it. - I will give you one.
Here you go.
Fair complexion. - I have written it down.
'Fair complexion, height is five and a half feet, size 36 inch'
'smart, beautiful, nice round eyes'
'nice hair, she is studying shorthand'
'is God fearing..' - Stop.
Do you know her?
I have seen her.
But you were able to tell a lot in detail.
Well, we can guess how good your daughter is, seeing you.
Did you bring her photo? - I have got one.
Damn!
Well, we need a photo.
Only then will we be able to find a groom..
It is for keeping in the file.
In here. - I will give you.
Just keep one thing in mind.
Doctors only.
Doctors..
Only. - Yes.
I don't care if I don't make it work on time, tomorrow.
I will go only after we come to a decision.
I need the money. If you can't, then take the girl back.
I don't want this relationship.
We will arrange the money somehow.
Rameshan got a job now.
I have heard such things before.
You all are going to witness my wrath soon.
If you miss the 8:30 bus.. - I'll take a taxi to work.
We have to decide something.
People think Gangadharan is just an idiot.
I am a police officer.
I don't care if you are my relative.
I will beat everyone to a pulp.
He is here.
What do we do? - Don't do anything.
Let him give up on our daughter and me if he wants to.
Let everyone have some relief.
Try talking to him and cool this matter down.
Do you think he will calm down that easily?
His anger will shoot up if he sees me.
I get scared when I see that face.
Mother.
Ask Rameshan not to talk too much.
Gangadharan gets pretty agitated when he gets angry.
He broke a crook's leg all by himself.
Oh, God!
Something bad will happen today.
We don't have to worry just because we got only five registrations.
It will increase exponentially in the coming days.
Ten registrations a day will do.
10 times 25 is 250.
There are 30 days in a month.
25 multiplied by three is 75. We could make 7,500 rupees a week.
Oh, God! - You will get incentives too.
It is written in his horoscope that at the age of 27
he will achieve success, wealth and a lot more.
I want to give Gangadharan his money once I get 25,000 rupees.
I will get rid of one problem.
Everything will be fine.
We have to open the office at 8 in the morning tomorrow.
Okay. - Bye.
Bye. - Okay, see you.
What is it, Mother?
Talk softly. Gangadharan has come.
He is very angry.
Don't say anything wrong.
Talk to him properly. - What did he tell you?
Don't get angry.
He said he would beat us to a pulp. - Oh, let me see.
No, Rameshan. - Leave me.
No, Rameshan. He is a fool. - Let me go.
Oh, no!
Oh, no! I don't want..
What did you tell mother, Gangadharan?
I have managed to calm him down.
Don't get him angry again. - What will he do? Will he kill us?
I am a keeper of the law, not a loafer like you.
Be quiet, Rameshan.
Come here. - What are you saying, Father?
There is a limit to everything. - Just come here.
I would have broken all our relationship and left.
I just missed the last bus home.
Have dinner and sleep.
Don't miss the morning bus at 5:30 tomorrow.
Stop staring and pour some Sambar.
Are there any more bachelors in the 8th ward?
What about Mr. Govindankutty's son?
The overseer at the electricity board?
Who is a bit fair. - Yes.
Don't you remember seeing him get cosy with a girl in the theatre?
A handsome fellow. - Yes.
Can they demand 1 lakh rupees? - Yes.
They can ask for 1 lakh and 25 sovereigns of gold.
A job at the electricity board is no joke.
You get good salary. Good bribes too.
Write down 1 lakh rupees and 25 sovereigns of gold.
Shall I get you some tea?
Not now.
It has been three to four days.
I don't see anybody registering here.
People will come.
The extra milk that we bought, thinking there will be more people
coming in to register, are finished by us.
This seems like a bad time. Will our plan fail?
It won't fail. We will have to do field work.
People here are not aware of the new ways.
They only know Kunjukuttan and Mary.
Nobody can see the good in people these days.
That is what I am worried about.
There is nothing to worry about.
We are looking at a list of eligible bachelors
and bachelorette in every ward of this Panchayat.
Then we will spread awareness and get them to register.
That sounds nice.
Then we will get a rough account of our business.
How much we will earn and such things. - Okay.
We can calculate our commission using those figures.
We got to know after the calculations
that people are playing with millions, in the name of dowry.
We can look at the 7th ward.
In the 7th ward, the number of eligible bachelorettes are 27.
The number of eligible bachelors is 19.
46 unmarried people in total.
Ten among those have the potential to pay and get 1 lakh in dowry.
We will get business worth 20 lakhs.
We will take two percent of that as commission, around 20,00 rupees.
We will double it
as we would get a commission from both the sides.
The total commission would be 40,000 rupees.
How much?
40,000 rupees..
That is the account of one ward.
There are 12 such wards in our Panchayat.
There are many such Panchayats and municipalities in Kerala.
Didn't I say that it is our good time?
This is not just a business.
It is a service too.
If we are taking money in one hand
we are making the life better for a bachelorette. - Correct.
Whose smart idea was this? - What?
Talk louder. I can't hear a thing.
Nobody will see or hear us over here.
Oh, God! Talk softly.
Whose idea was it?
It was our idea.
I hope you've no objections, Rama. - What's the point as you've
already started it?
It makes me laugh when I think about this.
How are you going to approach my father?
Would you say that
you're a marriage broker and that you want to marry me?
No.. I'm a Commission Agent.
Do you think you could fool my dad like how
you're fooling your parents?
If you tell him that you're a commission agent, he'll thrash you!
I like Rama, and she likes me as well.
Please let me marry her.
Did I just hear that 'Kaliyugam'
Paramu Nair's son wants to marry my daughter?
I am a man after all.
A man? What do you do?
I am a marriage broker. - I see.
Why aren't you saying anything? - It's nothing.
So, I don't think you must stick around to this profession.
Earn some money and start a business with it.
Something that would sound decent enough.
Do you think your father would agree?
Don't expect that he would.
All you have to do is come and call me.
Oh, God! Father..
Father?
What were you going to say about your father?
Rama!
Rama?
To be honest, I feel your dad is a hothead!
I don't know when he'll catch me!
I'd come and speak to your father holding your hands someday.
And then, I'd tell him..
Sir, we.. I..
What? - Show yourself.
Show your face.. - What?
Oh, no! - I'm going to..
Show yourself..
Didn't I say that I just need to see your face?
Why can't you just show me your face! Oh, God!
Get lost, you monkey!
Rama!
Who was that? - Who?
Don't take me for a fool!
I hope you know me well.
Tell me the truth. - I'd gone to pluck some stonebreakers.
It got my attention when some boys
were making fun of you. That was it.
Why were you out to pluck stonebreaker plants
when you hardly help me with anything?
I just felt like doing it.
You needn't do it again!
You're never stepping out to pluck anything!
You won't.. - Pluck them.
You're not to leave the premises of the house.
You better stop this once and for all.
Do you think we'd get any good proposals
if you fool around like this?
Do you? - No.
Go now.
I am so tired of walking.
Do you think we'd get into trouble?
I fear the same.
I doubt if he saw me.
Also, I fear if he'd hurt Rama.
Oh, just shut up. All you think about is her.
That's not what I am talking about. - Then what is it?
It is about our business.
I have a feeling that this would be a mess!
We don't even have a single registration
despite doing the field work.
How can people be so senseless?
Convincing people is hard.
Were we digging our own graves?
Are you going to relax? - I am tired as well.
I used to make some money earlier.
I quit my job for a business which isn't fruitful!
Don't lose your confidence.
Don't you know the story of King Bruce and the spider?
We must have his courage. Let's go.
What?
I don't see anyone here. Try calling them. - Why don't you?
Anybody home?
Excuse me, ma'am.. - Ask if there are any men at home.
Excuse me, sir..
Oh, yes. You are here already.
Why are you just standing there? Please come in.
Didn't Kunjukuttan come? - No.
I guess he'll come. After all, he's a busy man.
Please sit.
Did you travel by bus? - No, we came walking.
That's her mother. - Hello.
How old is she? - She'd turn 18 this March.
I see.
What is her educational qualification?
She was brilliant in academics.
However, she didn't get through 10th grade.
The questions were completely out of the curriculum.
Won't that be enough? - Indeed.
How does she look like? - Do we have to tell you
now that you'll be meeting her?
It's best that we meet her so that we know for ourselves.
Do give us her photograph. - Name, please.
Bhagirathiamma.
I was asking her name. - Oh, no! Her name is Ushakumari.
Such a lovely name. - Note that down.
What is your name, dear? - Ramesh Kumar.
My name is Jose.
Well, how much can you give as dowry?
Oh. - Give us an idea. - We shall talk about it
after you've seen her. - Yes.
If you could be a little specific
we could find her a suitable match.
So shall we register an application? We charge only Rs. 25.
Registration? - Don't consider it as a loss.
We'll compare your application
with that of thousands of men.
And we'll select the most suitable proposal for you.
Which means, we won't just suggest any ridiculous
proposals, unlike others.
There is only one renowned marriage consultancy bureau..
And that is Swayamwara Marriage Consultancy and Commission Agents.
And that's us.
What? So, aren't you here for the bride-seeing ceremony?
Of course, we'd be glad to meet her.
Weren't you sent by Kunjukuttan?
Why would he do that?
We are the managing directors of Swayamwara.
I see. Stand up.
We don't want to try anything new.
Don't we need to move on from the old ways?
Like that poem goes, 'A change is needed..' - Yes.
Please don't trouble us. They are here for the bride-seeing ceremony.
Please leave.
Please.
Can we be of help if this doesn't work out? - Yes..
Notify us if there
are any good proposals. Leave.
See you soon, ma'am. - Okay.
How many daughters do you have?
Shall we go? - How about this LIC policy..
Yes, I do have one. Please leave.
'Jeevan Dhara'. - Don't trouble me. Please go.
Please leave.
What are you both doing here?
It's not like we can't come here.
But let me make this clear to you.
I won't spare you if you mess with my job!
I may appear to be calm
but I'm not to be messed with.
Let's go.
I don't think we must give in
no matter who teases or threatens us.
We have already started this.
My dad has started to grumble about it.
Everybody back home has high hopes about this.
Only dad knows the reality.
The villagers think only Mary and Kunjukuttan are good for this job.
We must change that.
I think we should give up the system of registration
and adopt their methodology.
Do you think we could be old-fashioned marriage brokers?
Why not? Anything is possible.
It's true that we're too young for the job.
But people would have sympathy for us as we're unemployed graduates.
We can't afford to be shy or hesitant. Are you ready for it?
Well, I have to be.
Let's do this now that we already set out for this.
Are you sure about this?
We might get embarrassed.
Stop being so nervous. People will notice us.
I'm all right.
Your face is as pale as a paper.
She looks like a Hindu and seems calm.
Let's give it a try.
How can we talk about it to a total stranger?
Using our tongues! Just come.
Excuse me, ma'am..
Is your dad home?
We had told him that we'd meet him yesterday.
What? - We'd talked to him the day before yesterday.
We told him that we'd meet him yesterday, but we couldn't.
My father? - Yes.
It's been three years since my father had passed away.
Really? Did we get the wrong person?
Aren't you Mr. Padmanabhan Nair's daughter? - No.
Oh, I see. We thought you were.
It's okay. Let's get to know one another.
I'm Jose and he is.. - Ramesh Kumar.
Seriously? - Yes.
Let me be frank with you.
A friend of mine wishes to marry you.
We have arranged several weddings before.
If you are willing, please give us your address
so that we can come and meet your family.
I have no objections.
But my husband may not agree. - That won't be..
Oh, God!
I had to work hard for a week.
I had to travel four times to Kanjirapally
to meet him.
He is busy all the time.
How does he look? - Mr. Poulose
do you think I'd find you a bad son-in-law?
Only Kunjukuttan would do that.
He is cunning!
Do you know the one who married Johny's daughter?
He is a tuberculosis patient!
They are in a bad condition financially.
The girl got fooled into marrying
this guy, thinking that he was rich.
This is what you call cheating.
That's really sad.
He cheats people a lot.
He will die without being able to drink some water.
Can you get me some lemon juice?
It's on the way.
I become stressed whenever something bad happens.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe that they are here. - Who is it?
They are two brilliant crooks.
They might look decent though.
If you are not careful, they might even steal your eyes.
They are not the kind of people that you should welcome home.
They are very cheap.
They will come in different looks.
Maybe a broker, an LIC agent or..
They will have different looks.
They will try to escape if they see me.
I'll be inside.
Don't let them go, Georgekutty.
Greetings..
We came here to discuss something
for Mr. Devasyakutty's daughter. - Yes.
From there we got to know that
you have a daughter who is waiting for the right groom.
So we thought that we'd drop in and talk to you. - Yes.
We are marriage consultants.
We have conducted a lot of elite class weddings.
We only do elite weddings.
Doctors, collectors, engineers and police officers.
Am I right? - Yes..
Oh, let's go inside and talk.
We don't want to disrespect anyone, right? - Yes.
Hey, get out.
Don't mess with us.
I'll beat you up! Get out.
Don't you know who we are?
I know exactly who you are. Get out of here!
We know that it's your house.
But still, you should respect people.
What did we do to make you angry? - Yes. - Get out, man.
Or else, I'm will beat the guts out of you.
Oh, I understood. I think they
are mentally ill. - Oh!
Are you mad? - How dare you say that, bastard!
Leave me.. - Let him go.
Move away. - We got the robbers. Help..
Thief.. Someone, help us.
Catch him.. - They are thieves.
Don't let them go. - Get lost from here.
This is what you get if you mess with me.
I'm going, Sister.
Do you have any guests today?
Guests, it seems. - Why is it funny?
There is a kind like that.
They will visit houses from time to time.
And they'll eat all the food that you make.
They will be good actors.
They will say that they'll come back.
I know very well.
They just come here to eat.
Why are you always sad?
I'm not sad.
There should be something to be sad about, right?
I'm just sad for my brother and my dad.
I don't know what my brother is doing.
And when you know that they are doing it for your sake
it makes you feel guilty.
Everything will be all right.
Do you think that there will not be anyone for you?
A real man will marry you without any dowry.
Are there men like that?
Do you have any doubt?
Are you like that?
If there is a girl that I like
I will marry her.
Who is that lucky girl?
There is someone like that.
Tell me who it is? - Hey, Rosely.
I'll go then. - Okay
I didn't know that you could extract toddy from the kitchen.
Yes, you can. Stop bitching around. - Oh. - Yes.
Where is your dad? - I think he'll be at the farm.
They don't have any money for dowry.
On top of that, don't defame the family.
You will never get married. Just remember that.
I have heard someone say, in life, you can become a dead man walking.
Our condition is worse than that.
We brought it upon ourselves.
I don't know what made me come up with that idea.
It's just our bad time.
Don't lose your confidence.
There is nothing in this world that can't be conquered.
Aristotle Onassis started off with some tobacco.
And Adolf Hitler was just a soldier.
Then there is Napoleon and Abraham Lincoln.
Most of the famous people are all self-made.
We have to learn to do that.
Bullshit.
I'm going mad!
It's not the time to listen to your awakening.
How can you be so relaxed?
There is no point in being sad about things.
Being sad is not going to change our fate.
Yes, that is true too.
Don't you have any work today?
I didn't go. - Oh, did you get tired of it?
Answering questions like these is the real problem.
He seems to be disturbed. Are we going to be in trouble?
There are chances for that to happen.
I was looking for you guys.
I had gone to the office.
I had gone to the.. - Office.
Yes. - What is the matter?
I'll tell you. How is the new business?
It's a wonderful success.
Good job, guys. Let's shake on it.
What? - Give me your hand.
What about you? Okay..
I need a girl.
Is she for the house? - Yes.
Not as a maid but as my wife.
What? - As my wife.
Someone to take care of me.
Dowry, religion and cast don't matter at all.
The girl has to be good.
I just have one condition.
Kunjukuttan is not interested as there is no dowry.
Kunjukuttan.. Tell me.
He is not interested. - Yes.
Even though we haven't stopped this business yet
we won't be able to accept any more registrations.
The registration has been closed.
You don't have to worry about your commission.
I'll give you a good amount.
We'll look for one after your daughter's wedding.
It's already been fixed.
Her marriage is fixed.
Only the date is to be decided.
Who fixed her wedding?
I did it. Who else would do it?
Everything was sudden.
He is a Doctor. Dr. Sudhakaran Nair, MBBS.
Dr. Sudhakaran Nair.. - MBBS. - Yes.
He is getting a hospital built in the town.
They are asking for Rs. 2 lakhs and 51 sovereigns of gold.
It's a little too much.
I only have only one daughter, so that's fine.
Once she gets married
I also need someone to accompany me, right?
You have to keep this in your mind.
You have to keep it in your.. - We'll think about it.
We'll come to the house to meet you.
I'm also in a hurry.
I need to make a lot of money. Let's go.
Rameshan.
Did you know about this?
No, it's been more than a week since I saw her.
Don't worry. There is a way.
The price of steel seems more than gold.
What about the discounts? - That's the discounted amount.
Who knows if you are telling the truth or not?
We should stop the work till the wedding.
How much money did we spend?
The woman in labour has to be discharged today.
Who asked you to do that? - Her husband.
If he'll decide everything, why did he bring her to me?
Let them be here for some days. Steel is expensive these days.
Someone is here to meet you.
Admit them. I'll visit them later. - They want to see you, it seems.
Come.
Greetings.
Who is the patient?
Him. - Do one thing
give his blood and urine samples to the laboratory.
Take an X-ray and an ECG too.
We will do a complete check-up.
We are here to talk about something personal.
Please, we just need two minutes.
Okay, you can go. I'll come.
From where did you get it?
What? - You don't have to hide anything.
There is a cure for every disease.
Tell me everything in detail.
I'll be frank with you.
The girl that you are going to get
married to, is in love with my friend.
Hello.
So, what's your problem?
We had already decided to get married.
Don't come in like a villain.
I'll be the hero and you can be the villain.
You have to back out from this wedding.
I will back out once you give me Rs. 3 lakhs.
Can you?
You can't, can you?
If you come back here for this again
I'll make sure that you get beaten up.
Do you have the guts to elope with her?
How can I do that?
I'm jobless.
My sisters are already my biggest worries.
How can I forget them?
Life is going to be hard.
There is no point in being sad about it.
That's not the reason, Father.
Then what happened to you?
He has been lying on the bed since he returned.
I thought he must be tired.
I said I'm all right, Mother.
He's not sick. Is it because of Gangadharan?
Is Gangadharan a devil?
Can you give me some space? I said I'm just lying down.
Why are you shouting at me? Hell with it.
Tell us if you're sick. Why are you troubling others?
Tell me if you're trying to fool me.
I've seen a lot of this before!
The bus at 8:30 is gone. Why are you still shouting?
Everybody can go. He is okay.
Let him sleep peacefully for a while.
Can I get you dinner, Son?
Don't sleep on an empty stomach. - I'll eat later.
Brother.
I know how sad you are.
I saw Rama at the temple today.
There is a letter for you.
'You must've heard about it. I haven't agreed to it.'
'But how long can I oppose it?'
'I'll come with you if you'll take me.'
'I'm under house arrest.'
'Come and meet me. Yours, Rama.'
Don't waste it. You may not get a second chance.
I know Shobha, sister and I are obstacles.
Don't think about me.
Because..
What's the reason? - Nothing.
I'll tell you one day.
Aren't you going to see Rama? - And?
Should I ask her to forget me?
Or should I ask her to leave because of my burdens?
To look like a coward in front of a girl
who's ready to come with you.
No. Let her hate the lover who cheated her.
That will be good for her.
Can you forget her, Rameshan?
No. But I can't get her either.
Let it go. What must happen will only happen.
Once, a poem was written
in her autograph book.
'There is a world for me, there is a world for you'
'but there isn't a world for us.'
Ask me if you need any help.
What help? - Whatever.
It's all because of 'Kali Yuga'.
We'll only get stupid ideas.
We would've been ruined
if I had closed this tea shop listening to them.
We can only say no.
We are not educated, so we believed them.
They are educated, right?
When they told about the lakhs
that we could make
I thought we were saved. Nothing happened.
He used to get around Rs. 300 as salary. Even that's gone.
I brought them up so lovingly.
Our wishes won't come true.
I didn't oppose Jose when he came
with me to put fertilisers in the farm.
They must survive even after I die.
I was hoping the guys would take care of the girls.
That's also gone. 'Kali Yuga'.
I'm going to get Jose married.
I can get Rosely married with what I get from it.
Then, there is Mercy. I have time for that.
Let him take care of it.
Okay.
'Swayamwara' isn't working out, is it?
Did they have to do it?
Get me a cup of tea, Paramu Nair.
The lunch was grand. I feel sleepy.
It was Rama Kurup's daughter's engagement.
The groom is a doctor.
They are giving 101 sovereigns of gold and this much as money.
I need a girl for Jose, Kunjukuttan.
I need a proposal for my eldest daughter too.
What's your demand? - It's better if it's an exchange.
We don't have to give anything to each other.
Let's see. We can look for other ones too.
If Jose gets Rs. 20,000 and 10 sovereigns of gold
we can get her a guy for the same amount.
I too need a proposal for my Rajalakshmi.
Won't you get a guy who won't ask for dowry?
Yes, but it will be such kinds.
There is one guy. You need to give nothing.
But I need my commission.
I'll give you that.
A rich guy.
He is a little old.
You know him. - Who?
Rama Kurup.
No, don't cry, Narayani.
This family will be saved if he likes her.
It will happen soon after his daughter's marriage.
Who else will come?
How will she agree to it?
He is of her father's age.
What will people say? - They'll say many things.
Will anyone of them give my daughter a life?
Will Rameshan agree? - We can make him agree.
Don't tell it to anyone. Don't tell her too.
Let them know if he likes her.
There is nothing like a custom.
He asked to keep it a secret.
How could my daughter have such a fate, God!
Stop. Is he there?
No, I made sure of it.
Be brave and come.
I doubt if the trees are infected.
Are you an agricultural officer?
We came here to see the girl. Look at her.
Paramu Nair..
Is your dad here? - Yes, I'll call him.
This is the girl. Did you like her?
Is that her?
I didn't see her properly. - We'll see..
I want to talk to her.
We will look good together, right?
No, you're perfect for each other.
Come in. - Come.
Take a seat.
I'm busy. It's my daughter's wedding. - I know.
Ask Raji to make tea, Narayani. - No.. I don't want anything.
There is no time. There is no.. - Time.
I just have to see the girl. Then, I will leave.
Nothing for now. - Still, since you came here.. - No need.
The clock is ticking. Get the girl. Get the.. - Girl.
Raji.
What's your name? - Rajalakshmi.
Do you know him? - I've seen him.
You're just about to see. You're.. - About to see.
Let's go. - You didn't say anything.
Nothing much to say. I like her like my daughter.
If we don't make a deal with the decoration guy today
it will be a problem. I don't have time.
I'll be back.
I'll be.. - Back.
We heard there are many medicinal plants here.
So, we thought of plucking.. - Come on.
There are a lot of things to do.
Why is he here, Father? - He just came
and asked if he could see her. I introduced Raji to him. - And then?
We can think and decide. Let him see her.
What are you saying, Father?
What is it? - I don't know.
Mother! - I'm not interested either.
Even though he is aged, shouldn't she have a family?
So, my guess was right.
Are you going to make her marry that old guy?
I won't let it happen when I'm alive.
It's easy not to let it happen. It's hard to make it happen.
What kind of a brother are you?
They're rotting in here! I did what I can.
If you can get her something better, then do it!
Can you?
You are trying to escape, aren't you?
Rama.
Yes, you can call me that for one more day.
From tomorrow I'll be Mrs. Rama Sudhakaran to you.
I know you hate me.
You can hate me. That is better.
No, I don't hate you. I pity you.
You won't understand my situation.
I didn't love you because I thought you were a prince.
I knew the life with you won't be a luxury ride.
Even then, you avoided me.
I hate myself
for loving you all this time.
You have only seen a fictional world.
The life in stories and novels.
The sacrifices of a rich girl to live with her poor lover.
I'm not just a lover.
The debts I have.. - I don't need these explanations.
I'm getting married tomorrow.
I don't know if I should call it a wedding.
It is something else.
I only have one regret.
You threw away all my love when I gave it to you.
Now, I have lost the ability to love someone else.
"The starry night."
"Your bright eyes."
"They are like the chalice of memories."
"They were budding"
"like the rising pain in my heart."
"The starry night."
"Your bright eyes."
"The painful days that flows my way"
"like the river Kaveri."
"The painful days that flows my way"
"like the river Kaveri."
"When the poetry"
"shatters in front of my eyes."
"When the poetry"
"shatters in front of my eyes."
"The starry night."
"Your bright eyes."
"When my pain burst like a bubble"
"even the river Sarayu cried."
"When my pain burst like a bubble"
"even the river Sarayu cried."
"Even the sorrows of Sita"
"turned into nothing."
"Even the sorrows of Sita"
"turned into nothing."
"The starry night."
"Your bright eyes."
"They are like the chalice of memories."
"They were budding"
"like the rising pain in my heart."
"The starry night."
"Your bright eyes."
Are you just going to sit here?
What else will I do?
Ask for a job in that textile shop.
I did. They asked me to wait for a vacancy.
You should learn something from Jose.
He is reaping gold from his land.
Do I have any land to reap gold?
You talk as if I have acres of land.
Let's poison ourselves, then. - That would be better.
Raji is missing, Father.
She is not back from the temple yet.
She will come. Where else will she go?
I heard someone saying that she left with Damodaran in his car.
What did she do?
Move.
Instead of following me, check if he is coming..
Oh, he is coming.
Did you get any information?
I did.
I'm ready to forgive her if it was a mistake.
I'm ready to.. - Forgive her. - Not you.
It's me. - Yes, you are ready.
But, it wasn't a simple mistake.
Damodaran married her. - What?
Marriage.. - That's what you just said. - It was a court marriage.
How could she do something so stupid?
She belonged to a good Nair family!
The girl from the good Nair family is with a toddy tapper now.
Toddy tapper..
I'll break your glasses. - Do it.
Get lost.
I'll take you back to your house if you regret what you did.
Do you want me to?
Say something.
I don't regret it.
Then why are you crying?
When I think about my father and brother..
Let's not talk about your family members anymore.
Tonight is our wedding night.
Only we two should be here.
Don't create a scene. Consider her lucky.
Is she to be saved by a low-caste person?
Do you have any shame?
You should have some pride.
I have been furious from the time I found out.
I'll beat him to a pulp.
I'll beat him up so much that he'll have TB once I'm done with him.
Oh, God! What will happen now?
Calm down. - I am furious now.
I won't care who it is, I will..
You don't have to beat up anyone.
At least, she will have enough to eat. - Food!
I would have given her food.
No matter where he goes, I will arrest him.
Come with me if you are brave enough.
Where is his house?
Don't enter my house.
Get out, son of a bitch.
I'll kill you. - Father.
Hey, come here. - Leave me. - Get out!
What are you laughing at? - Hey! - I'll beat you up! Idiot!
Stop talking! Don't be over-smart.
Shut up! - Listen to me.
If you behave like that with me, I will stab you with my knife.
I'm here to work.
I won't leave anyone if you try to stop me.
Then, kill all of us.
Rameshan, don't talk like everyone else.
I think you are educated. I have not cheated your sister.
I have married her and she now lives in my home.
Religion is no barrier when it comes to love and marriage.
I'm ready for a fight if you oppose our marriage.
Here is the gold chain you gave her.
I'm healthy enough to earn a living to buy my wife gold.
I won't come to you asking for money like some idiots.
Why didn't you support me when I was arguing with him?
I won't stay in this house anymore.
This is the end of all our relationships. - Gangadharan.
You can take the bus home as it's daytime.
You won't miss the last bus at 8:30 p.m.
Brother.
- Dear, I'm not angry with you.
I'm happy that you are well.
Your husband is a good guy. - Please come in.
But.. - Who's this? Don't stand here. Please come in.
No, I will leave. - Leave it. Please come in.
Come.
Why can't you have dinner with us? - Some other time.
Right now, I'm happy with this.
Don't hate me for not understanding you at first.
That's okay. I always had affection and sympathy for you.
You can't be like this anymore. Find some work.
What will I do? - Anything.
There is respect for every job.
I didn't tease you when you were working as a broker.
To be frank, can't you run your restaurant business?
You have a room with a small rent.
Your father runs the business lazily.
You must join him. Don't you think you won't get customers?
We will have customers but.. - What is the but?
You need some capital, right? I'll give the money. Consider it a loan.
I need to think about it.
Goodbye.
Raji, I'm leaving.
Mother and father are not upset with you.
I will come later to invite you home.
What is hurting your pride when it is a loan?
We can pay him back after starting the business.
It hurts my pride. - Nonsense.
Nobody else needs to know. You need to be confident.
Nowadays, it's better to do a job you are good at
than spending money in applying for a job.
I may be a graduate but I'm a good farmer as well.
I'm happy now. I regret wasting all that time.
Did you invite Damodaran to your home? - No, I will later.
This is a proposal for you.
She is a daughter of a school teacher.
We will get 15 sovereigns of gold and Rs. 15,000 as dowry.
Both of you should go and see her. - You may go and see her.
You can fix it if you like her.
When you give your word, don't forget to mention that
the dowry will be used to get my sister married.
Don't give them a reason to complain about that.
Will Rosely get married soon?
There are some good proposals. I plan to do it along with mine.
Jose, I'm going to the retreat. I may be late when I return.
Please come to the church if I'm not back by nightfall. - Okay.
I assume Raji is happy. - Yes.
I never thought she would have the courage.
'Hotel New Ramesh.'
What is his bill?
Four pancakes, one egg curry, 'Poppad' and tea. - Okay.
Four..
Please take his order. - Okay.
One cigarette, please.
What do you want? - Pancakes and egg curry.
Rs. 4.50.
Welcome. Rameshan, give him a special tea.
No, how is your business? - It's okay.
Bye. - Okay. - I have some work left.
He is my son-in-law who married my second daughter.
Is he a Nair? - Anyway, he is my daughter's husband.
I appreciate you for your attitude. - Okay.
Did you let him into your house? - Yes, why wouldn't I?
You shameless creatures.
You let a toddy tapper into your house.
I'm a policeman. I won't stay here anymore.
We are not asking you to stay here.
Give me the Rs. 25,000 you owe me. I will leave with my family.
I will never step foot in this house again.
Please keep your voice down. Damodaran is coming.
I'm not scared of him.
I will beat the hell out of him if he comes to me.
This hand has beaten many criminals.
Please don't mind him. - That would be better for you.
If you want to talk, keep it in your mind
that you are talking to a policeman and not a layman.
Brother. - Who are you calling brother? - You.
You dog! - Please talk decently.
Give me my money. That is called decency.
You had money for your business. You have cheated me.
I can end this if you tell me that you can't give me the money.
You need to go home. - I will go home when I please.
I can't live in the same house as a toddy tapper.
Will you give me my money? - Not right now.
Is that so?
I will give you the money if you write the details down.
I know you plan to use that paper
and get me fired for accepting dowry. That won't work.
There are different methods to get you fired.
I have right to this property now.
I have been seeing this extortion for some time now.
If you plan to continue this way, I will stab you with my knife.
Remember that.
You didn't speak for me when he threatened me.
I have nothing to say.
If he is adamant, we won't stand in his way.
That is not the right..
What is it?
What will we do now? - He is a man of his word. That scares me.
They have left. - What?
Is that true? - They left early in the morning. - Okay.
They didn't even say goodbye to father.
So, my strategy worked.
That's why they say sometimes we have to put our foot down.
I hope Rama is well and happy.
I wanted to see her. You could have brought her along.
Nothing can be estimated in building construction.
The cost of toilets has gone up compared to last month.
It's easy to say to build a hospital.
It's getting difficult day by day.
I was talking about Rama. - I understood.
Contractors are the only breed that can't be trusted.
The estimate was first seven lakhs. Now, it has crossed eight lakhs.
I need at least 3 lakhs more.
I came to ask you for some money.
Rama told me to ask you.
I thought you would give it without me asking for it.
How much do you need? - Two lakhs. - What?
Did he say two lakhs? - Yes.
God knows the trouble I went through
to make three lakhs for the dowry.
Did you say God? - Yes.
I don't care about the trouble you have
to go through, I need the money.
I'm a little short on money. I have some loans to pay back.
I don't care. I need the money.
I didn't marry your daughter for nothing. - What?
I gave you property worth three lakhs.
You thought you could settle me for that meagre amount.
This is the problem.
People take advantage of you when you try to help them.
I settled for three lakhs since I knew she was the only daughter
and she would inherit all your wealth.
I'm not stupid enough to marry a village girl.
I know she had been with many men.
How dare you say that? I will slap you. - Cool down.
Anger like this will cause your BP to rise
and lead to cerebral haemorrhage.
I don't mind all that.
I need money to complete my hospital.
You must give me that money.
Think of it as it's all for your own daughter.
Won't you like to see your daughter happy?
Don't you?
I can also accept title-deed of the house instead of cash.
I can use that to get a loan.
I pledged it already. - Oh, my God.
My life is spoiled.
Somehow you have to provide me funds. You should help me.
When will you provide the funds? - I will come to you.
You should come there for sure.
Make sure you have enough funds then. Do you understand? - Yes.
Do you want to convey something to Rama? - No.
God! Many people are attacked by snakes unexpectedly.
Let a.. - He should be bitten by a king cobra.
Anthony, the chicken curry was too spicy.
Even my hands are burning.
Still, you had enough. - After all, it's chicken, my favourite dish.
Is this the boundary of your plot? - Yes.
We have only 20 cents.
What is the use of having more land nowadays?
Farming is not at all profitable.
Anthony had half an acre of coconut grove.
He sold it as he realised it is not profitable.
If he deposits in the bank, he will at least get the interest, right?
How much amount did you get?
I.. That..
Varkey, discuss the dowry and fix it.
We have to go back soon.
You haven't met Jose yet, have you?
She saw his photo.
Is that enough? - Even he hasn't met me yet.
It seems they are happy to proceed with this alliance.
As you are good at heart
you have got the proposal of such a good gentleman.
We have pampered her as she is the youngest.
If she makes any mistake, feel free to correct her.
Don't waste time by telling useless things.
Discuss the dowry and other plans for marriage.
Anthony has agreed to our demands already.
So there is no need to talk about it.
I am ready to give 15 sovereigns of gold and Rs. 20,000 as dowry.
When? - On the day of engagement.
To be frank, even though we have around 1.5 acres of land
my situation is worse than yours.
My eldest daughter is 26 years old.
As I couldn't afford a marriage, she is still unmarried.
Now a new proposal has come for her.
They demanded 20 sovereigns of gold and Rs. 30,000.
I need the amount you give to meet the amount they demanded.
It's up to you.
After marriage, she and her assets belong to your family.
What I meant was that I am fixing her marriage
in the belief that you will provide me the funds on time.
I assure you of that.
I will give you the dowry which I promised to give.
Varkey, do you think I will get a bad proposal for your daughter?
Mary is not a cheat like Kunjukuttan.
As Kunjukuttan is the broker for Rosely's proposal
you should be careful. He may cheat you.
It is a good alliance. Do you know Kulathinkal Mathachan?
His son is the groom, Mr. Georgekutty.
He is a school teacher.
'It is the first marriage proposal which I got'
'I won't search for another alliance hereafter.'
'I.. I am ready to marry you.'
What if you have to compromise in dowry?
Before all that, we should like each other. That's done.
The rest is all formalities which the elders have implemented.
Let them go ahead with it.
Aren't you interested in it?
Marriages are fixed in heaven.
We find our soulmates here. I found mine.
It's you, Rosely.
"Oh, lovely girl! Who is going to be your partner?"
"Who is the one that dressed you up so beautifully?"
"For whom are these celebrations awaiting?"
"Who is it?"
"Who is that lucky person?"
"Who is going to come this way"
"into your heart with all the pomp?"
"Wedding fortune.."
"Oh, lovely girl! Who is going to be your partner?"
"Who is the one that dressed you up so beautifully?"
How long can your dad hide from me?
He has to come here for sure.
I know how to make him.
He doesn't know my character well.
I am getting frustrated thinking about everything.
The number of patients is decreasing day by day.
It's better to run a lodge than running the hospital.
Why are you laughing?
If that is profitable than a hospital
I don't mind doing it.
It's good. At least, people will consult a better doctor.
Moreover, you can start another profitable business
along with it.
You have employed many pretty girls here.
I am here, too.
You can start a brothel. - You whore!
That's your culture. You used to hang out with someone.
I never sell my honour.
You don't have it to sell it.
You!
Don't act smart. I will kill you.
I can kill you easily.
I am waiting for that day. Make it fast.
That's my only request to you.
Paramu Nair, we should get him married.
Varkey's son and daughter will get married soon.
I have a suitable proposal with me.
You will be lucky if you proceed with this proposal.
She is smart.
Shall we proceed? - Whatever it is
I will demand dowry. That's it.
Everyone will be interested in taking dowry.
Paramu Nair, don't trust him.
He will trap you, too.
He found a devil as my daughter's husband.
Hey, Rama Kurup. Mind your words.
I got you many proposals.
But, you wanted a doctor to be your son-in-law.
So I got the proposal of a doctor.
It's tough to identify the character of the groom.
Did I ask you to pledge your assets to get your daughter married?
Don't worry. Things will be fine. - No, it won't be fine.
I lost everything..
The loans and interests have gone sky-high.
If my family has to cremate me after my death
they will have to take permission of my creditors now.
I came to know about your relationship recently.
If I had come to know about it then, I wouldn't have allowed it.
Still, instead of pleading him to step back from the proposal
why didn't you save her then?
Take that.
They don't have many collections.
Let's buy the wedding sari from Ernakulam. - Okay.
Wear a white shirt for marriage.
For the engagement, choose a different colour shirt.
It's okay. This is fine. I am a farmer.
Let me try it. Where is the trial room?
Rama.
We are here to purchase some dresses.
Is it for a wedding? - Yes, but not for my marriage.
Jose and Rosely are getting engaged next Sunday.
Aren't you able to find a soul-mate yet?
Do you still hate me? - No.
I was just joking.
You are far better than my husband.
You were able to reject my assets along with me.
I won't ask you whether you are doing well.
I know your situation.
People have told me. - How did you feel after that?
Did you feel pity for me? - I regret my mistake.
I don't want to make others worry about me anymore.
Bye.
Isn't that Rama? - Yes.
I will blame Rama Kurup for it.
There is a proverb that
one should not want something beyond your reach.
Greediness will always drag people into trouble.
Whenever I think of her
I feel I am the reason behind her situation.
Hey, don't be so stupid.
It's all fate..
Why did you return from the church so soon?
Who wants God now that you're getting married?
Why do you look gloomy?
Jose, Rama passed away.
How? - I don't know exactly.
People are saying many things.
Nobody is sure whether it was suicide or murder.
I am not able to believe them.
That is Mr. Rama Kurup's daughter.
She is being brought after her post-mortem.
It seems she died when the gas cylinder burst.
Hey, I think they are here.
Rameshan, shouldn't we go and see her for one last time?
No, I don't want to see her.
George, do you agree to accept
Mr. Varkey's daughter, Rose, as your wife?
I agree.
Rose, do you agree to accept
Mr. Mathew's son, George, as your husband?
I agree.
Joseph, do you agree to accept
Mr. Anthony's daughter, Elizabeth, as your wife?
I agree.
Elizabeth, do you agree to accept
Mr. Varkey's son, Joseph, as your husband?
I agree.
Thomas, the betrothal is over.
You can start serving. - Okay.
Please come. - Come fast.
Sit down. - Otherwise, we won't get a place to sit. - Come fast.
We won't get space. - Sit down. - Hurry up..
Come on. - We have a seat there.
Greetings, I had seen you. - Greetings.
What is the matter?
I wanted to speak about the dowry.
We can speak about that leisurely
after having our lunch.
All right? - Actually, there is a small problem.
Tell me clearly.
I could not arrange the amount.
What? - Yes.
What nonsense are you saying?
I will plead to you. Please save my daughter's life.
Hey, how can you even say this?
Had you not promised me?
I had asked a few for money.
But they cheated me at the last moment.
I could not manage to get any money from the chit fund as well.
Why didn't you say this before?
Were you waiting for the betrothal to get over?
Father, talk softly. People will hear us. - Get lost!
Let them all hear it!
I had asked him several times.
He should have told this before! Bastard!
I will somehow arrange for the money within a month.
Please spare my daughter's life.
I will fall at your feet. - Shameless scoundrel!
How could you cheat me? I will kill you.. - Father!
Please don't create a scene here. - Move aside!
Dad! - What's going on? - I will kill him!
What are you doing?
We will find a solution for everything. - What solution?
What should I say to my daughter?
What should I say to Georgekutty and Mathachan?
Oh, Jesus! Everything is shattered!
Oh, Jesus..
What happened? What is the matter?
Nothing. You don't have to know this.
I am Georgekutty's father. I need to know!
Mathachan, this scoundrel has cheated me.
Please pardon me.
I will arrange for the money before the marriage.
Even if I have to sell my house.
Jose..
These are the papers for my property. I will give it to you.
Please spare my daughter's life.
I am ready to even die for my daughter.
Then, go! Go and die!
My son will never marry your daughter!
Father! - Don't even dare to say anything else!
How can you be so shameless? Bastard!
Did you send your friends away?
Enough! Get up, let's go! - What?
I don't want any of our people to eat from here.
What is it, Father? What is the matter?
They could not arrange the dowry! Get up!
Come on, get up!
Just come with me!
Bastards! Come on.
Father, we are cancelling this marriage.
Mr. Mathew, how can you cancel the marriage just after betrothal?
If we don't get our money, we cannot proceed with this marriage!
Georgekutty, we will arrange for the money
before the marriage with interest.
What is the guarantee for that?
After inviting people here, we cannot cancel it..
George, money is not everything.
Show some mercy, for God's sake.
We don't want to hear your lecture, Father.
Money is more important to us.
Will you give us the money, Father?
Georgekutty, instead of money, I will get the equivalent
properties registered to your name by tomorrow itself.
I don't want it!
Did you agree when the girl's father offered you the same?
Will you marry that girl?
I will marry her without taking any dowry.
Jose, that will never happen.
Father, this girl is in the same situation like our Rosely.
Don't forget that, Father.
Dear.. - Don't worry.
I can understand the plight of my sister.
George, show some humanity here.
We will arrange the money within a week.
Please wait until then.
But, who are you? - Forget about me.
I am speaking on behalf of Jose.
I don't trust any of you.
We don't want an alliance with this family! Come on!
Georgekutty, try to understand the situation
of a girl's marriage getting cancelled after betrothal.
I am pleading with you.
We will accept all your demands.
If you are so humane, then marry her.
Georgekutty, please! Just listen to me. - No need.
I don't want him to marry my sister.
It is all right even if she doesn't get married.
I will take care of her until I die. - Jose..
Come on! Come on everyone. Let's go.. - Please! Don't leave!
Don't leave, Georgekutty.. Please! Please don't leave..
Father, please tell them. - They will not listen to me.
Please, don't go.. Please tell them not to leave.
Why are you all standing mum?
They are abandoning a girl after betrothal in the name of money.
Just think about it!
What if your daughter or sister has to face this situation?
You are right. But, they cannot be blamed.
Jose, if you all agree, I will marry Rosely.
Tell me, do you agree?
How is that possible?
How can a Christian marry a boy from a different religion?
Is there someone else to marry her?
If so, show some mercy on this poor girl!
What happened? Is nobody ready for this?
"Oh, lovely girl! Who is going to be your partner?"
"Who is the one that dressed you up so beautifully?"
"For whom are these celebrations awaiting?"
"Who is it?"
"Who is that lucky person?"
"Who is going to come this way"
"into your heart with all the pomp?"
"Wedding fortune.."
