How much? - Fifty-seven.
Damn. I will try once again.
Every day I do it up to 60.
You can do it tomorrow. I want to go to the hospital today.
Take it. - Okay.
Did you see, Dad? He is making fun of me because he can swim.
You should have learnt it. Why didn't you do it?
I didn't learn because I am scared.
But why is he making fun of me?
He can't win a gold medal for India in swimming.
Ask him to get lost. - Yes.
Get lost.
Appukuttan, don't be lazy. Help him in washing the car.
Sekharankutty doesn't give the money he earns to me.
He can do it by himself.
How is your wife? - She is better now.
It's Asthma. It keeps coming and going.
Today she needs to consult the doctor.
You should come there if you don't have any work.
I will come after I finish cleaning. - Okay.
You may go, Dad. I will come with Sekharankutty.
He needs to go home and change his dress. Come with me.
When will you come?
Let your dad go with Sekharankutty.
I will come after that. You can go..
Are you having fun here?
I will teach you a lesson when you come for driving classes.
No way. I won't do that.
Let me try to live without doing a job.
Okay. So you take a bath first and later brush your teeth.
You oppositely do everything.
There is a story behind it. - Yes.
Teeth will become soft after taking a bath. - Really?
I don't need to use a lot of paste. - I will kick you.
He doesn't take a bath properly.
You decide whether men should drink good tea from Narayanan's shop.
I have promised to give two bottles of milk.
I will pour water. It will be bad for your fame.
People will say that your milk isn't thick.
What do you say?
Stop talking to the cow and go back to the kitchen.
I've kept rice and curry in a plate. Give it to him.
Where are you going so early, Mom?
I am going to find a groom for you! To hell with her questions!
People are excited to collect money from chit fund.
But they won't come to pay the money. They are rascals.
Why are you scolding me?
Did I force you into this?
My brother is right about you.
You don't need to try that. I took all her milk.
Where is your mom? - She went to collect chit fund.
Why can't you ask her to be at home after leaving the chit fund?
Why can't you tell her? She is your mother too.
As if she needs to make money for your marriage.
I have kept the rice. Have it before you go.
You can have it.
I am going to the hospital with the teacher and his wife.
I see. You can have good food from there.
You should tell Radha that I will take revenge for this.
Get lost.
How is it? Is it good? - Yes. You look handsome.
He has a good aim.
Come in..
Am I late? - No. You are on time.
Sit down. Dear.
It's been two hours since I have asked for a coffee.
She came with a plate when she heard your car's sound.
I have got coffee for you. - Okay. Thank God.
Why are you making fun of her in the morning?
How are you feeling? - I am better. - Okay.
I have told him that we don't need to go the hospital.
The teacher doesn't listen to me.
It's not that. The doctor had told me not to miss the check-up.
We should go. - I am also coming. - What?
You should drop me near the school.
It's not the time to go. You might've special class today.
Where is this girl? She doesn't bring the milk on time.
I will teach you a lesson today.
He is messing with me.
Come on.
You are going on your last trip.
He is going to buy something for his dying mother, it seems.
You won't reach your destination. Just wait and watch.
I will slap him hard if I get him right now. Scoundrel.
Why are you smiling?
You can say anything now. He won't listen.
I don't care if he hears it. He can't do anything.
Enough of eating it. Pay up before you eat.
It happens always. Innocent men get punished for other's sins.
Milk.
You came so early, Her Highness. You should have brought it later.
I needed it only by evening.
I can bring it only at this time.
It's not her fault. The cow woke up ten minutes late.
Isn't it, Meenakshi?
Tell me if you don't want milk.
My brother will sell it in town if I ask him to do so.
Don't talk about him here.
Did you see what he did while he went through here?
It's good for you.
He will do it again. Wait and see.
Hey..
Don't be so arrogant.
A shrimp can only jump a bit. After that.. - Impossible.
What?
The shrimp might be tired from jumping the first time.
Oh, no. Damn.
I got scared.
What have you done, Kuttan?
My bottles broke.
My brother has bought it for me from the town.
Let it be. I will give you two big bottles.
No way.
Will you give milk from your home to fill big bottles?
I know how hard it is to fill this bottle.
I will give two similar bottles.
It's not a great thing.
I will give you something else too.
What is it? - That's a surprise.
My brother will buy me anything that I ask for.
But it's okay. Come on.
You said you would give something else too.
It's not that special.
Bye. - You always do this to me.
You don't even like talking to me.
I like you. But I have so many works to do.
I will see you later.
Meenakshi. - Yes.
Close your eyes. - For what?
Close the eyes. - Okay.
You can open the eyes now.
Wow! That's a lot of milkweeds.
Where did you get this from? - Near the pond.
There are a lot of milkweeds. - You are naughty, Kuttan.
Don't move.
"I will show you a trick using the fishing rod."
Appukuttan.
Is that you? You scared me.
Is this how you call someone?
Why didn't you come to my house in the morning?
You can say that.
I need to catch two fishes and give it to the bar to have some drinks.
I will give money for your drinks.
But you should help me.
What do you want? Let it be. Give me the money.
I will give you the money. Will you do it?
Tell me the matter.
Will you talk about Meenakshi and me to Sekharankutty?
I will tell him right now.
Go to my house and tell my mother to burn my clothes
because I won't need it anymore.
He will kill me.
Do you love here? - Yes.
Does she love you? - I don't know.
I will ask her. Give me the money.
Give it to me.
It's not for my drinks. It is for buying sugar.
I need to clear my throat before I talk to her.
I will burn his car.
I will pour alcohol and burn it.
You are drunk, Narayanan.
You can't make me drunk. - Okay.
You splash dirty water on me with your car.
Yes. - I will plant an explosive in your car.
Make sure it doesn't blast in your hand.
I have planted many explosives to catch wild buffalo.
That's me. - You are lying.
There are no wild buffaloes here.
What do you know?
You were not born when I used to hunt the animals.
This was a forest earlier.
Dense forest.
The late Goldsmith Gopalan and I
were coming back from the festival at Cheeram Kolangara temple.
It was dark.
What? - There was some weird voice.
Do you know what it was? - What was that?
We were surrounded by 100 tigers.
A hundred? - A-About fifty tigers.
Was that fifty? Isn't it less than that?
There were twenty tigers. - Okay.
He doesn't know whether it was a tiger or a Jaguar?
The situation was violent. Isn't that so, Narayanan?
I shouldn't have told it to you. - Yes.
Son, please give me one more pot of toddy.
The drinks are finished.
I am your father. Give me another pot of toddy.
You are my father at home. But I need to give bills to my boss.
"The relationship between children and parents are an illusion."
Can we start, Narayanan?
Can we start, Son? - Yes.
I will give the left over when it's done.
"Oh, Dear Son. Let's sing together."
"We have the heart of a teacher, but our actions are like a goon."
"I have stabbed a nail to my hands and leg."
"The mischievous goon have stabbed six nails to my heart."
"Allah! I have stabbed a nail to my hands and leg."
Did he start this early?
He will be drunk when he gets back.
Why can't you advise him?
How will it be possible? Mother and son don't talk to each other.
I am suffering because of it. Take it.
No mother and son in the world will be like you and him.
Why are you shivering?
I never came here shivering.
I drink alcohol. But I am not addicted to it.
Where is your mother?
Mother has back pain. She slept early.
It will happen if she roams around.
Ask her to stay at home.
Why can't you tell her directly?
How did you talk to each other before I was born?
Hey. Excuse me. - What is it?
Did she finish taking a bath? - Let me see.
What is it? - She will come now.
Come on. - Carry on. I will come now.
No. You should come with me.
I will come. You can't do anything by yourself.
It's a good thing.
My dad bought it during the last festival.
Let it be with me. I will return it later.
No. Dad will scold me.
You belong to a rich family.
I belong to a low-income family.
It's okay. - This is bad.
Why are you standing at the place where women take a bath?
We didn't come here for that.
What do you mean? - I-It is.
What is in your hand, Kuttan?
Wow! It's binocular. Can you give it to me?
It is.. - No. We need it for something.
My brother will buy many for me if I ask him.
Kuttan's father will scold him if he gives it to you. Right? - Yes.
I don't want it for myself.
I will return it after using it for some days.
Take it.
Kuttan didn't give it to me.
He likes you a lot, Meenakshi.
He doesn't like me that much.
"She is like a beautiful moon in the mirror like the river."
"She is a beautiful flower in the first dream."
"She appears to be a lovely deer when I look at her."
"She is like a beautiful moon in the mirror like the river."
"She is a beautiful flower in the first dream."
"My dark, dense hair will cover her in the cold breeze."
"A woman will be like a nymph when she is adorned with nuptial chain."
"She is adorned with sandal paste and flowers."
"She adorns herself with flower, sandal paste and saffron."
"The beautiful nymph will swing in the sandalwood swinging chair."
"She is like a beautiful moon in the mirror like the river."
"She is a beautiful flower in the first dream."
"The sweet sounds of smiles are like a chain of pearls."
"There was a Veena which sung while touching my cheeks."
"Where are the musical instruments?"
"Where are those instruments? It'd set a stage far across the land."
"I saw an umbrella of pearls above the hills of flowers."
"She is like a beautiful moon in the mirror like the river."
"She is a beautiful flower in the first dream."
I can't tell the people who got the chit that your wife delivered.
I need to pay them at the right time.
Please wait for another day, ma'am. I will give it to you tomorrow.
Oh, no. I didn't say that you did it on purpose, Vasu.
I swear on my daughter that I will give the money tomorrow..
Where did she go?
Ma'am..
Ms. Vilasini.
Ma'am. Let me talk.
I didn't know that you had a wish like this, ma'am.
I don't have such wishes. I will slap you.
No way.
I came inside because I saw Sekharankutty.
He will scold me if he sees me.
He will be angry because I work at this age.
He loves me. - The kids these days have changed.
You are lucky.
Yes.
Damn.
We were talking about you.
Were you talking about my faults? - No.
A twelve-year-old boy came here with a child and mother
16 years ago.
My daughter Radha stopped him when he left after having water.
That small boy grew up, and now he is standing in front of you.
You can order me. - Get lost.
Why did you come here?
Today is Saturday. Radha doesn't have to go to the school.
I was.. - Yes.. Go in. She is inside.
Go ahead.
Don't run. You should go slowly.
Why are you always making fun of them?
It's fun.
We can't do it after their marriage.
I didn't hear the car's sound.
I came by foot. The car is on repair in the workshop.
Did you meet my dad? - Yes.
He made fun of me. - For what?
He said I came here to see you because today is Saturday.
Don't smile.
Why can't you come to my house?
We live in a small house.
I will be coming to that small house.
Why are you delaying it?
My dad has some plans.
The teacher will think for our good.
I don't want to delay it for a long time.
Do you think that I don't want it?
I want to walk by hugging you.
We can do it even now.
No. Dad is here.
Don't try to fool me. - Oh, no.
Look how tightly he is holding her.
Won't she choke from that?
If that were the case, you'd have died
multiple times by now, dear. - Get lost!
What is it?
Oh, no. - Stealing is bad. Especially the eggs.
Who stole it?
Oh, no.
What is this?
I wanted to buy it if it is good.
Are you a specialist to find if it's good by just looking at it.
Leave it. Forgive her this time. It's just a mistake.
I will apologise on behalf of her. - For what?
Don't talk. I will forgive you this time because he told me so.
I will get you arrested by police if you repeat it.
You can go. - Trust me. I will make sure that she doesn't repeat it.
Okay. You can go.
Get lost.
- Get lost.
Hey.. Stop there.
Who do you think you are?
Who are you to apologise for me?
You might've got arrested if I was not there.
It won't happen. My brother will be there for me.
Who is your brother? Is he a judge?
You always talk about your brother.
Get lost. Don't come in front of me. Don't try to help me.
You steal eggs. I will tell everyone about it.
Get lost.
Hey.
What are you doing there?
You should have done it earlier.
You need to do it from the beginning.
Get lost. Brother.
Carry on..
Oh, no. I didn't know that you'll get hurt like this. Carry on.
I am going.
I might've kicked him out of this place if you had told me yesterday.
Where are you from, man?
It happened today. She can't say about it yesterday.
Okay. Did it happen today morning?
It's a shame for her.
It's bad to peep when she is taking a bath. It's bad.
If I see him right now..
He is coming.
Stop there. What is your name? - I am Vinod.
Do you know this girl? - I have seen her before.
He knows her well.
He scolded her when she stole the eggs.
Shut up.
Leave it. Do you know me? - No.
Have you heard about Vaikom Gireesh? - No.
It's an elephant. - Really?
What about Ambalappuzha Rajappan? - No.
It's an elephant. - Really?
Have you heard about Meledeth Appukuttan?
Is that an elephant? - No. It's me.
Do you want me to be your mahout?
You can't deal with me.
I am a fighter like an elephant.
You should go back to the forest.
I will go back to the forest after fighting with men like you.
You talk nonsense to beautiful girls on the road.
You peep into their bathroom.
How can you do it?
I might talk nonsense. - Okay.
I will peep into her bathroom. - Okay.
Maybe I will love her. - Okay.
Who are you to ask that?
Turn around and turn left. Then right. Turn left and move right leg
forward. Turn left, bring left leg up. Take the sand.
Blow it and then upwards. Turn left and then go right.
Now it's time to attack.
Don't come near me..
Sit down again.
I have a cramp..
You should have told me this directly.
Why did you bring this moron?
Yes. I am a moron.
You are the king of morons.
A good-for-nothing moron!
I didn't say anything to hurt you.
I didn't mean to do it.
Please forgive me if I have hurt you in any way.
I shall not come and meet you again.
Please don't..
He has time left to live.
Else, I wouldn't have got a cramp.
Moron!
Hey! You left an egg.
I'm serious.
It's so beautiful to watch
that gracious walk and hear that sound.
Whom are you talking about?
Didn't you know, Mom?
We have a string of ducks in our field.
There are a lot.
A young man looks after him.
He has rough hair and a fair complexion.
He looks quite nice too.
A tough man accompanies him sometimes.
They live in the fields.
He has a gramophone.
Shall we buy some, Mom?
What do you say, Mom? Shall we buy them?
The gramophone? - No, the ducks.
Is it necessary? - Oh.
Brother would have brought it for me.
Behave yourself, Meenakshi.
Don't you have anything better to ask him?
Have you started to cry already?
I didn't. It is the onions.
"Oh, Empress! I opened"
"my doors to you."
"Keep your slippers outside"
"and come in barefooted."
"Oh, Empress!"
"Oh, Empress! I opened"
"my doors to you."
"Keep your slippers outside"
"and come in barefooted."
"Oh, Empress!" What?
Why did you ask me to come? - Who did?
Didn't you sing asking me to enter?
That's just great. Then why did you leave?
Have you decided to talk to me again?
Not completely. I wanted to ask you something.
What's that? - Can you lend this to me?
Get your hands off it. No way.
Get lost. My brother would buy a lot for me.
Does he work for the antique department?
Won't your father buy another one if you ask him to?
What?
It's best he doesn't hear you. He is not my father.
I work for him. - Seriously?
What? Is this so bad?
That's not it. Couldn't you find a better job?
Have you had rice with ghee and Dal?
We always have that for 'Onam' and 'Vishnu'.
That's not how I celebrated my festivals.
My uncle used to serve rice, ghee and Dal
for my father and ask me to swear at my father.
My father was ill.
That's how much my uncle loved my father.
That's how it went for long.
As I grew older, though I realised it was wrong
hunger used to force me to say that to him.
How long can we tolerate to watch someone take what's ours?
I stayed there till my father expired.
I didn't even stay for the burial.
This is all that I took to consider as my own.
Why are you getting upset?
Had I said it in a sad tone, you would have ruined it.
Why are you getting upset? I'm not sad about it.
Don't even think of it.
Damn!
Damn.
Slow down. You may have it. I'm done.
That's not it.
I wanted to have another drink
as this finishes. - Why stop at one glass?
Have this completely.
No.. - What? - Weren't you just joking?
So you can understand things.
Narayanan isn't here today.
He is ill. He is resting at home.
Will he die? - Shut up! - Do you have a problem?
Just shut up. - Are you kidding me?
He'll go only after I'm dead.
I've heard of spoilt children.
It's just the opposite here.
My horoscopes do say that I'll be broke because of my dad.
Don't start with that.
My horoscope says that my first child will be a son.
Look how things turned out? It was a daughter instead.
There's no point in blaming the stars.
Your first child will be a son.
I would thrash you if you say bullshit like that!
Leave it. He was joking. - Is this how you joke? Moron!
"Don't say anything.. Oh, witnesses!"
If you had come with a suitcase, we could've returned you in it.
Put your dad in the coffin!
Aren't you his dad? - Get lost!
Go on, dear.
"What we heard and saw. What we got and gave."
"And about the day we relaxed."
"Don't say the time we escaped with what we got."
"Don't say anything.. Oh, witnesses!"
"Who was that? - The ox from the manor."
"Won't it stab? - It stabs with its horns."
"It's not the ox or the snake that stabs."
"Don't reveal who moved in the dark."
"Don't say anything.. Oh, witnesses!"
"What we heard and saw. - What we got and gave."
"And about the day we relaxed."
"Don't say the time we escaped with what we got."
"Don't say anything.. Oh, witnesses!"
"Who knocks at our door? Is it the one who forgot his light?"
"Is it the one who lost his weapon or the one who lost his harvest?"
"Don't reveal the incident where you lost a teeth"
"when you hit your face on a rock when you fell."
"Don't say anything.. Oh, witnesses!"
"What we heard and saw. - What we got and gave."
"And about the day we relaxed."
"Don't say the time we escaped with what we got."
"Don't say anything.. Oh, witnesses!"
Hello.
Is anyone home?
Hello.
May I help you?
Can you let our ducks graze in your farm?
For how much? - We give eggs.
You can either boil it or fry it.
Let's fry them, Mom.
That's your choice. Is that your son?
Yes.
Isn't there anyone else?
I shall come back later. - Okay.
I think no one is home.
He came, didn't he?
He came for a re-union.
If I ever feared of anything, it was this day.
Why did he leave? You could've made him stay.
He didn't even see me here.
It's the truth. - Let it be.
I don't care.
But if she ever finds out that was her father
I can't be sure of what'd happen next.
I had raised her.
I raised her with love and protection.
I won't let anyone take her no matter who it is.
If you ever tell her about it
I'd kill you.
And kill everybody.
Oh, Goddess!
What was that?
That's all I wanted to see.
I'm so glad that the two of you have started to talk.
What's wrong, Mom?
Why are you crying?
Did he shout at you? - No.
These tears are out of happiness.
My son spoke to me after such a long time.
That's why I cried.
Let me go! Oh, God! - Get here!
Please let me go! - Here.
Oh, God! - Go with him! - Oh, God! Let me go! - Stay there.
I'm begging you. Please don't hurt me.
Move aside! - Please don't hurt me for the sake of our child.
Oh, God! Go with him! - Get here. If you have
been with me without even tying the knot
then you can be with him, too. - Let me go!
You better listen to me! - Son!
Appukuttan! - What?
Get up! - Oh, God.
Hello, Sekharankutty.
How have you been? - Idiot!
Oh, God! - Who gave you permission to graze the ducks in my field?
Did that happen? - What?
Do you expect us to let them graze at a bus stand or railway station?
How dare you do this after drinking his toddy?
Stop there! Wait!
What? You're not crossing.
Who are you to interfere in others matters?
Is he your father or are you his?
How dare you bring ducks into a field that's yet to be harvested?
Just get lost! It's better that you don't mess with me.
How dare you? - What?
Are you going to get into the water?
Don't dare! You're not destined to die in my hands.
It's too shallow.
You'll drown in it! Don't dare!
Don't come close..
Oh, God. I'm leaving now, but don't bother messing with me!
I am safe.
Oh, God!
Sekharankutty, please don't thrash me.
I beg you. I promise on my mother
that this wouldn't happen again.
Please don't take what I said seriously.
Please don't beat me. It was a mistake.
What?
Don't slap me again! - What will you do?
If I do this.. - If you do? - You'd hear a sound.
Shut up! - I'd complain to mom if you slap me again.
If you mess with me again
that'll be your end.
This is responsible for everything!
Come.
That's my brother. - I see. I'm glad you told.
Why is that? - I'll be screwed if he finds out.
He loves me a lot.
He always grants my wishes.
I never hoped for my father to be there.
Brother never gave a chance.
He's a poor soul. - Oh, yes. Definitely.
Then why did you fall in love with me?
Who said that I did?
I was just joking.
It still hurts when you say so.
God gifted you to me, sweetheart.
My sole God whom I pray to every day.
Here.
Even if you marry me off
you wouldn't have the absence of a cook.
As if I depended on you all this time.
Then how did you manage to be so fat?
Will you just shut.. - I can't believe her. - Oh, yes!
She has been pampered too much.
Well, her brother is the one to be blamed.
He's not back home yet. It's getting late.
You may have to head back home on your own.
At this hour?
Oh, here he is. - Stop it.
Someone is home.
I came to know of it.
Oh, God! I simply hate liars! - It's true. I saw her shoes.
He has even noted her shoes.
Has it been long since you arrived? - No, just three hours.
It took some time to fix my vehicle. I shall drop you back.
Get going then. - I'll screw you someday.
Ms. Vilasini, I'm leaving. - Okay.
Brother. - Yes.
Some man came asking if he could graze his ducks in our field.
What did you tell him?
I asked him to ask my brother.
Okay. - Bye.
His weird stares and large eyes
are just fearful to look at. Such a beast!
Don't speak rudely of him.
He's, after all, an ageing man.
What has gone wrong with you, Mom?
You seem different since the last few days.
Don't you have any chit funds now?
"Come near me."
"What's wrong with passing by silently?"
"You can stay silent."
"But this is the song of my soul."
"The vines swayed in the wind."
"The palm leaves rustled in rhythm."
"The earth became fragrant."
"You gave us a path, oh, Jesus."
Where did you learn this from? - This is sung in the church.
It's a Hindi song.
Why did they copy the church song?
Oh, God! The boss is a lot better than you.
Where is he?
I didn't find him in the fields. - He has gone to the town.
He had some things to buy. - Okay.
Are you planning to stay here permanently? - Why do you ask?
I saw your house. - Such a witch!
What did you call me? - A witch.
Meenakshi, the witch.
I don't like you calling me like that.
Then don't bother.
I shall address you that way.
Witch! - Get lost!
Go on. Ask him.
Go on.
Ask him. - You ask him. - Well..
What?
I see that you are devotees. - What?
Are you here to cause me disturbance?
What? - Get here.
Do you have black bangles? - What?
Is this your big secret?
I can't believe this!
For whom is it? - Oh, it's not for anyone.
It's to hang them on the walls.
Isn't that right, Kuttan? - Won't faulty ones do?
Oh, no. Please don't give us faulty ones.
Fine.
There she comes.. - What?
Here.
What about the money?
Okay.
Do you see this? - Yes.
Hey..
Why don't you try something that you're good at?
Well..
What?
Meenakshi?
Hey. I rarely see you these days.
Where were you all this time?
I was always around. It's you who don't come by.
Where do I have the time, Kuttan?
There are so many chores at home.
Radha and Mom think that we're not in terms.
And that's why you don't come by.
What do you mean?
Do you feel so, Kuttan? - No.
I have brought something for you, Meenakshi.
What is it? - I won't tell you.
Open it once you reach home. - You are unbelievable.
You always send me presents.
Will you open it? - No.
Promise. - Promise.
I shall leave. Mom might be looking for me.
Won't you come to the temple?
Do you think that I would miss the show?
Why are you trembling?
I was running all the way from the temple. - Why?
Black bangles.
What is that?
I see. Were you mocking me?
No, it was Kuttan who gave it to me.
Who is Kuttan? - The teacher's son.
Which teacher? - Radha's father.
Who is Radha?
Brother Sekharankutty's fiancee. - Damn!
Who is Sekharankutty?
Meenakshi's brother.
Who is Meenakshi? - Me.
Oh. Why did he gift that to you?
He's innocent. He'd feel bad if I don't take them.
Are you Mother Teresa to make everyone feel better?
Oh, God! You didn't have to. - There's nothing wrong in it.
You shall wear the ones that I have brought.
Show your arm. - No.
Give it here.
Does it hurt? - Yes.

Alcohol consumption is injurious to health.
I doubted something fishy when I saw you leaving from here
the other day. - Stay aside. I want to go.
If you leave from here, you'll prove yourself smart.
But I will be left fooled.
No one will know of it. I'll give you anything you want.
I don't want anything. Leave me.
Don't think I can't keep my word. I will give you anything you want.
Leave me.
You didn't inform me when you reared ducks in the field.
I expected you to give eggs in return, but you didn't.
Who do you think you are to be honoured?
I am a commoner, sir.
Oh! You started drinking early today.
This isn't the local one. Where did you get this from?
Stop talking big. Gulp it if you want.
What? - Drink it. - Okay.
Shall I make you a drink? - No.
Okay. Make it.
Your family must be at your village.
I don't have a family. I am not married.
I have enjoyed life to the maximum and made a lot of money.
I own many properties.
You must be wondering why I keep wandering?
Yes. Definitely.
I have someone, somewhere.
I wander around to find that someone.
Please be clear, sir.
I had a daughter.
A boy took her away leaving me with this scar.
I will find her someday. All my property belongs to her.
She is the one who left from here.
What? - Yes.
The girl whom you tried to molest is none other than your daughter.
I will kill you. Don't say nonsense.
Son of a bitch! I wanted to kill you that day.
But you escaped death.
I have kept a knife ready to stab you.
If I want, I can kill you now.
But I won't. Your easy death will not give me pleasure.
God punished you.
You'll die of the guilt for trying to molest your daughter.
I feared if she would come with you if you tell her you're her father.
She won't. She will always hate you.
Boss.
What's it? What happened?
We must leave here, immediately. Come.
Where are we going?
Do what I say. Else, I will kill you.
Are you leaving? Are you going leaving me alone?
I will be back at the earliest.
I know you won't.
You are lying. You won't come back.
If I hadn't come, you would've left without meeting me.
I will.. I will come back.
Whatever I earned bearing his rebukes is with him.
I will be back with that.
I don't want the wealth.
I just want you.
Stop crying.
How can I comfort you?
It's very dear to me. I will keep it with you.
I assure you I will be back.
"I survive by cheating the villagers.."
"I survive by cheating.."
Don't try to hide.
Hey, Kuttan. I had come home looking for you.
Didn't your dad inform? - No.
That's his problem. He has a bad memory.
I borrowed Rs. 50 from you. - Yes.
I had come to give that.
I thought of giving it to your dad.
Then, I felt it was better to give it to you.
Okay. Then, give it. - Let me complete.
On the way, I went to the temple. I hadn't been there for long.
I regretted not visiting the temple. So I prayed.
Suddenly, I had a revelation. I had missed doing a veneration.
I had made an offering for your and Meenakshi's wellbeing.
I offered two floral offerings without any delay.
The Goddess is powerful. Prayers would be heard.
She did hear! - What?
Meenakshi did wear the black bangles I bought for her.
Is it? - Yes.
I had thought of making an offering to Ganapati as well.
We can do that too if you have money.
I don't have. - Fine. Let's do it when you have money.
What's there in the bag? - Bananas.
My mother says that bananas are my favourite.
Is it?
There is nothing which is not your favourite.
Why are you befriending him?
You must mislead him.
I am not spoiling him, Mr. Narayanan.
What did he say?
You'll grow up to be able like me. I don't need this anymore.
Oh, no. What do I do now?
To hell with it.
Oh, God.
Oh, no!
It's not opening!
I'm ready.
To hell with you, idiot!
Here he comes. Take your seat.
Do you know him, sir? - Of course, yes.
Why did you call me, sir?
Yes. I fixed it. Don't delay it further.
What do you think? - I did not get you, sir.
It regards Radha's marriage. I fixed it.
Don't worry. You are the groom.
But.. - Do you have a problem?
Tell it now. - Not that.
Then? - He is ready. Don't pester him.
What's the hurry? - There's time.
We would check the auspicious date and invite the villagers.
What do you say, sir? - I agree.
What is your opinion?
I will get some tea. - That's her opinion!
What about you? - As you wish, sir.
I have a desire.
I doubt if it's like asking for too much.
Go ahead. Say it.
When Radha comes to your family, will you give Meenakshi to us?
I know that Kuttan is not smart and less able.
If you disagree, please forgive and forget.
I don't disapprove Kuttan.
But I feel she is too young. - You think so.
She is of marriageable age.
We are not strangers. She will feel free.
My sister is lucky to get a family like yours.
Please get the auspicious date.
Were you overhearing them?
Are you happy? - Yes.
Oh, no. The hens. Get lost!
Were you dreaming? They must've finished eating it.
You look sick. What happened?
Nothing. - The curry is ready. Serve it.
Let me spread it out for drying.
What's wrong with her?
Dear.
Did you deceive us?
Tell me.
Who is responsible? Tell me, who's responsible?
Tell me. I am your mother.
It's Vinod, who belonged to the group which reared the ducks.
Oh, God! Sekharankutty will kill you if he gets to know of it.
Bitch!
You brought us to disgrace. - Oh, no. Don't beat her.
Stay aside. - Oh, God.
Stay away. Don't beat her.
I had brought you everything you asked for.
To hell with you.
I will kill you. - Oh, no. - Get lost.
Leave her. - Stay off. Come here. Come.
Come. Don't scream. I will kill you.
Leave it. Come. - Brother. - Come.
Get down. - Mother. - To hell with you.
I will kill you. Get down.
Get in..
Brother. - Get in. I will kill you if you come out.
I will kill you.
Why did you beat her? I want to know.
Move. - Why did you beat her?
Sekharankutty.
I was looking for you.
I didn't expect you to be here.
Kuttan came home crying.
He was complaining that you scolded and beat him.
What's the matter?
Didn't he tell you?
If I believed what he said, why would I come for you?
I told him you wouldn't do that without reason.
Not your words, but your beatings hurt him the most.
You shouldn't have slapped him.
You must meet and console him.
That will fix things.
After all, he is your future brother-in-law.
That wouldn't work.
What do you mean? - Don't plan for that wedding.
I don't get you.
Please leave.
Tell me. Tell me what happened.
Please go. Leave me alone.
Sekharankutty. You.. - Yes, it's me.
Leave me alone. Get lost.
I never expected you to talk to me like this.
I am leaving.
I didn't expect you to be rude, Sekharankutty.
You have grown big.
God bless! God bless you!
Did you meet him? - Yes.
What did he say?
She doesn't deserve you.
I will get you a better bride.
No. I want none other than Meenakshi.
I want only her.
Forget him.
Forget that you met him. - Dad.
I can understand you. I know you.
But our Kuttan..
Try to understand him. Try.
He must have done it out of despair.
Otherwise.. He can't do that.
We know him. He is like our boy.
Yes. We have always treated him like our own.
I loved him more than Kuttan.
If I stayed there any longer, he would have beat me.
I couldn't take it anymore.
That's the truth.
What's it, Mr. Narayanan? - Nothing.
I was checking if your cow is dead.
I haven't received the milk for a few days.
Meenakshi is unwell. She has a fever.
Is it just a fever or..
You need to be careful.
I get milk from another place. But they add a lot of water.
But I've to do business somehow.
Wait. I will get you coffee. - No.
I don't drink tea or coffee at this time.
I got in as I was passing by.
Excuse me. - Yes.
What's it? - Can you lend me Rs. 25, Vilasini?
I will repay it. - That, I..
Don't worry if you don't have.
When I reach the street junction
people will ask me where I had been.
I will reply that I went to meet Meenakshi as she has a fever.
Some mischievous guy might ask me if it's fever or..
The villagers are good at cooking up stories.
Don't pay me if you can't.
Here. I have only this. - I will repay it. Keep in mind.
So, Meenakshi doesn't even have a fever. She's just sick.
How much did you pay?
How long can you pay?
Keep quiet. You are responsible for it.
Your brother hasn't come home for days.
We will lose our reputation if people come to know of it.
God knows what's going to happen.
Vinod would come back.
Things will be fine then.
No one will come, dear. He will never come back.
What is lost remains lost forever!
Will never get it back. Never.
Will you do me a favour, Mom?
Mix poison in my food.
I don't have the courage to commit suicide.
I don't want to live. - Dear.
Don't waste your time. - What should I do?
Go and get her. Won't she come along with you?
Will she? - I see.
Don't ever come again seeking my help.
It's not just a veneration.
Why would she wear your bangles if she didn't love you?
Even if she wants, he won't allow.
Sekharankutty is the one responsible for this.
If you can't handle Sekharankutty to attain your love
you should be ashamed to call yourself a man.
I will kill him. - What?
I will kill that bastard.
Are you interested in blacksmithing, Kuttan? - No.
Then, why are you here? You've been waiting for long.
You hardly come here. - I need a knife.
Is it for slicing vegetables?
No. I need a dagger.
It will cost a lot. - I have money.
If you want one, I will ask the carpenter, Mr. Kuttappan.
He will make you one with wood. If you paint it, it will be great.
That won't do. I want original dagger.
Why do you need it?
To kill. The person should die at a single stab.
To kill whom? - It's a secret. Will you make one?
I will pay you money.
Dear, come here.
If you come with such demands, I will hit you.
Get lost.
Let me meet your dad. I will talk to him.
Where were you?
We were worried. Come back home before night.
Oh, you are back. Why have you come late, Kuttan?
Your father was tensed.
Go and get fresh.
I will serve you food. - I don't want it.
Why? - I don't want it. That's it.
He is upset.
What sins did we commit to suffer like this?
I can't bear Radha's tears.
She hasn't eaten food for three days.
Trying to defeat me. They are trying to defeat me.
Don't say that. We instilled desires in them.
Yes. It's my fault.
I understand my mistake.
What I learnt and taught was wrong.
It's all in vain.
"Oh, beautiful star!"
"You shine so brightly."
"There was not even a single"
"foolish fantasy in my mind."
Haven't you done enough damage?
Haven't you done enough damage already?
No! Brother!
Her bloody gramophone! - Oh, God!
No! - Move! - I'll never listen to it again.
Please don't break it. - Get your hands off!
No! Please don't break it!
You!
Kill me! Get rid of me as well!
Let it satisfy you! Kill me!
Oh, God! - Kill me! You! - Kill me! - Move!
What's wrong with you?
You are inhuman!
You are sadistic!
I can't believe that all this while
I considered this man equivalent to God!
For the first time in my life
I wish that my father was around.
I was only doing this for your good.
Don't touch me! Don't touch me.
That's what I believed all these years.
But not from this moment.
I feel disgusted!
For having loved you all these years
I feel disgusted with myself!
You!
What did you just say?
Apologise to him!
Tell him that you didn't mean it!
No.
Dear.
Please call him!
Please ask him to stay.
Ask your brother to stay.
Call him!
Haven't you had enough, Mom?
Aren't you fed up with the pain?
Has he ever addressed you as 'Mother'?
You..
You know nothing, dear.
No, I don't wish to know anything.
But if you force me again
I'll commit suicide!
I will do it for sure!

Did I come at a wrong time?
Not at all.
I knew that you'd come.
You are the only one who is left now.
It's your turn now.
Everyone wants to tear my heart out.
Go ahead.
I had decided never to meet you again.
I prayed to the Gods to never make me run into you.
What was all this for?
Whom was it for?
I know it's up to you to decide whom should Meenakshi marry.
But why did you give him false hopes?
My brother is innocent, isn't he?
What else should I've done?
Should I've married off my pregnant sister to him?
What are you saying?
I understand that this is hard to believe.
I tried a lot not to believe it.
But it's true.
Don't you remember that guy who reared ducks?
She is pregnant with his child.
Everyone now thinks that I am a moron.
People think I am untrustworthy. But
no one has ever asked me why I am like this.
Even you.
My childhood was miserable, and I have no good memories of it.
I just have the faintest of memories about my father.
My mother had worked hard to raise me.
Mom committed a mistake after father's death..
That's how she conceived Meenakshi.
It was a man who came to the village during harvest.
We came to this village
to escape from him.
But he showed up here as well.
The man who asked Meenakshi if he could rear his ducks in our field
is her father.
I breathed a sigh of relief when he left.
But my sister committed the same mistake that mother made.
I had once left everything that I had and settled here.
Where should I go now? Tell me.
All of you are upset, aren't you?
Do you know how long I have been enduring this pain?
Where should I go now?
Tell me where I should take Meenakshi?
Oh, God! What sin have I committed to suffer like this?
Everything will be all right.
I believe so.
I do.
No, I won't believe it.
You are lying to me. You are bluffing.
Why don't you ask your mother if you are not convinced?
Tell me.
Was she telling the truth?
Tell me..
Forgive me.
Please forgive me.
I didn't know anything..
Radha told me everything.
Please forgive me for what I said
out of naiveness.
Won't you forgive me?
Won't you let it go?
I'm sorry, Brother.
Why did you hurt me?
It's okay.. I'll forget everything.
I can't bear to watch you in tears.
I shall go to him.
I shall bring him here.
I shall bring him.
I have something to say. - What?
Do you have something to tell him?
No. - Then?
Does he know?
Brother, did you tell him that I'm his daughter?
Yes.
He would have been so hurt.
How come you feel sorry for some stranger?
What about the pain I had endured?
He's not a stranger.
He's my father!
Do you feel I hadn't done enough for you over these years?
Do you feel I haven't loved you enough, Meenakshi?
No. I don't want anyone else.
I just need you! That's all I want.
I can understand.
I shall ask him to come.
I shall ask him to come here and bless you.
After all, no one can take a father's place.
Why don't you go there?
How can I leave from home in this situation?
Seriously?
Then again, what's the point in him going there?
From what I know, her brother will kill him if he goes there!
Will you shut up? I'm already scared.
He has a point.
What's the point in him going there alone?
What are you all suggesting that I must do?
Please don't worry. Things will settle down.
Oh, yes. Once it settles down, he'll be in trouble!
She might marry some
government employee and lead a happy life.
And you'd spend the rest of your life singing depressing songs!
Well, I'm doubtful of that too.
Didn't she take your gramophone as well?
Don't take his words seriously.
He'd keep blabbering until he becomes sober.
I don't know what to do.
That's him! Her brother.
Pattal Junction.
You've crossed it already.
Do you know anyone by the name Vinod?
He raises ducks.
Do you? - No, I don't know anyone by the name Vinod.
I do! I know the one whom you are looking for.
Isn't he tall with a fair complexion? - Yes.
He is hiding since he is afraid.
He is hiding.
Where is he? - I'll tell you.
He is hiding in my pocket!
You! - Let it go, sir.
He is drunk. Ignore him.
Shut up!
I was telling the truth.
He is hiding. - Will you shut up? - He is hiding.
You!
Stop! - Let me go! - Let me explain!
Let me go! - Listen to me! - Leave me.
Let me go!
Oh, God!
No.
Did you think you could get away with what you did?
I didn't know. I swear.
Why did you try to hide from me then?
I was afraid.
I would've come.
The boss is dead.
We haven't even completely performed his funeral rites.
How?
He was acting completely insane after leaving your village.
He was avoiding company and wanted to be on his own.
He didn't want anyone to be near him.
He came to me one night.
He seemed quite upset.
He hugged me and burst into tears.
The next morning, we found his body hanging from that banyan tree.
He had asked me to convey this to you
if we ever meet.
He said that you are a real man.
No matter how harsh he seemed
he cared for me a lot.
I am going through a tough time now.
I don't know if you would understand me.
Go and call her.
Come on.
What? Oh, my God!
Vinod.
What happened..
What? What happened to you? Tell me..
What?
You!
Kuttan? Have you gone insane?
I will kill you!
You.. Back off!
Kuttan! Let go!
You!
Kuttan, stop it!
Who is there?
What's happening here? - Stop it!
Will you stop it? Back off!
Listen to me!
Oh, God! What's wrong? What happened?
Mother. - You!
Oh, God. - Oh, my God! - What are you doing? Let go of the knife!
Let go of it..
Oh, God. - Brother! - What?
Get up.. Slowly..
What happened here? - Take him! - Come on.
Slowly..
Careful..
It's nothing. Just get back home.
Please listen to me.
Drive.
Mother.
What? Do you want to stab someone else?
Tell me! Do you want to kill anyone else?
Who is he to you, Meenakshi?
The one who does the duck farming.
Why do you want to know?
Do you still want to kill him?
Did I ever hurt you in any way?
Then, why have you done this, Kuttan?
I didn't know that it was him.
I thought it was Mr. Sekharankutty.
Why?
It's because he didn't allow us to get married.
It was me who objected the marriage and not him.
What about the things you told me till now?
What did I tell you?
Why did you accept and wear the bangles I gave you?
Does that mean I love you?
I never had such a feeling towards you, Kuttan.
Just now you asked me who is he to me.
I love him, and he is everything to me.
I will commit suicide if something happens to him.
Really!
If anything happens like that
God will not forgive you, Kuttan.
No. Nothing will happen to him.
You may marry him and lead a happy life.
They made me a fool. I trusted them, too.
I am a fool. But I loved you a lot, Meenakshi.
I want to cry and cannot hold my pain.
Don't worry! There is nothing to worry.
I am going and will not return.
I am going.
Brother! - Nothing to worry. Trust me.
Nothing will happen. - I want to see him.
There is nothing much. He has six stitches, that's all.
Why did you bring her? - She was not ready
to stay at home.
Vinod.! - Don't call him. He must be asleep.
Where is my child? Where is Kuttan?
He didn't come home yet.
I searched for him everywhere. Where is he?
Sir, I..
Sekharankutty, did I ever hurt you?
I have done only good in life. I can't find my child.
You know it. You know where he is.
What have you done to him?
I have considered you as my father. I gave you that respect till now.
Do you think I will harm him? He is like my brother.
I don't know. I don't know anything.
What happened to him?
I heard, he stabbed somebody.
What happened exactly? I cannot believe all this.
My child.. - Nothing much happened.
Trust me. I will get him, wherever he is.
I will bring him to you. This is my promise.
You may go home now. The family might be worried.
Don't cry. It will make your condition worse.
Kuttan! Where is Kuttan? - He will come.
Where else can he go?
He might be hiding somewhere here and will come out
when he feels hungry.
Let him come.
There is a limit in making others tensed.
You shouldn't get tensed and make the situation worse.
Please drink this. You will feel better.
Get up.
Let me have a look. He must be hiding under the cot.
He must be scared that I will beat him.
Kuttan, I will not beat you. You may come out.
I am fed up with him.
Please don't give me further tension. Please come, dear.
You dad is calling you. I am getting angry now.
You know what happens if I get angry.
I will beat you up.
Kuttan.. Where is Kuttan?
Where is he? Haven't you seen him?
Yes. - Where is he?
Please come, sir. - Where to? To my child?
Please come, sir. - Why can't he come here?
Please come.
Sir.
One, two three, four, five
six, seven, eight, nine..
56, 57, 58, 59, 60.
61.. 62.
My dear, why have you done this to me?
Why?
I was not serious and wouldn't have beaten you.
Did I ever beat you, my dear?
Why have you done this, Kuttan?
Sir..
Have you promised me to get him in this condition?
I don't want him in this condition.
I don't need him. - You may take him.
Here it is. Take it. Oh, no.
My dear. - Kuttan!
Kuttan!
Kuttan. - No.
No. - This is not our Kuttan.
This is not our Kuttan.
Daughter. - No.
Don't cry.
