'VAKKALATHU NARAYANANKUTTY'
'News headlines.'
'Palakkad District Court will hear the case'
'filed by Vakkalathu Narayanankutty'
'against Sasidhara Kurup, the Minister of Power, today.'
'Vakkalathu Narayanankutty will present his case today.'
'Will Vakkalathu Narayanankutty be present at the court?'
'The future of the cabinet lies in his hands.'
'Our Palakkad Bureau reports that Vakkalathu Narayanankutty'
'will submit evidence before the court against the accused.'
'Both the government and the opposition are anxious to know'
'the verdict of the case'
'as the future of the cabinet depends on it.'
Please find a way to save me from this humiliation, Advocate!
There is one.
The court gathered the evidence only after a year
and so Section 9.. - That's not a strong point.
We'll lose for sure.
Section 10 is way more superior to Criminal Act 202.
Who the hell makes these laws!
To hell with all these laws and sections!
Advocate. - Yes. - The maximum punishment I could receive
in this case is imprisonment for three months.
I'm aware of that. I've served time before.
Oh, yes.. - You know it. But the people don't.
That's how I became the minister.
Vakkalathu Narayanankutty shocks the power minister.
That's the headline today!
How about we divert the case in that way?
How about we declare that you're a lunatic and obtain a certificate?
Don't try to make it more complicated than it already is.
Advocate, don't be stupid.
You'd suggest stupid ideas all day. I know what to do.
He shouldn't show up the court today, right?
Exactly, Chandran.
Is this a copy? Where is the original?
Show me the Pollution Control Certificate. - Move. - Here, sir.
Show me the documents. - Here, sir.
Open the trunk.
Okay.
Sir.
He must not reach the court on time. Okay?
I'm in a hurry to reach the court.
But I got stuck in traffic.
I thought it was an accident.
I was later informed that it is an inspection.
And it was you. - Oh, God! - It was only then
that I realised that this happens only at the end of every month.
Cut it out! - Here are my driving license, tax receipt
and insurance paper. Everything is okay.
It'd be a favour if you could let me go.
I'll have to be at the court by 11 a.m. - Catch.
Show me your license. - Excuse me? - You heard me.
Didn't I just hand it to you? - When did you?
Excuse me? - Yes?
Oh, I see. - Yes, it is. - Excuse me, sir.
You're speaking to Vakkalathu Narayanankutty.
He is the last man you'd want to argue law with!
How dare you! - Sir, please. - You!
He can speak about law all he wants.
But only the police have the right to enforce it.
Take him! Take his vehicle!
Oh, I see! - Are you trying to scare me?
Circle Inspector Chandran.
Why trouble others when I'm your target?
A man who is supposed to serve the public
is now an enemy according to them.
As long as I have the public support..
Let him go.
What would you do if I don't let him go? - You should.
Who the hell is he!
Answer me! You morons! - We'll show you!
Who the hell is he! I'll thrash you!
What is this! Why trouble yourself like this!
Get here! You morons!
You! Move aside!
Don't mess with me! Hey, you!
'District Court, Palakkad.'
Isn't your name Vakkalathu Narayanankutty? - No.
My name is Narayanankutty.
You've accused Power Minister Sasidhara Kurup
of marrying off his daughter, Karthika, when she was a minor.
Not just that.
As soon as I filed the case against him
he changed his daughter's date of birth in the school certificate.
Having provided a false evidence at the court
he has committed a crime as per IPC Section 191.
He is aware that he broke the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act.
The maximum punishment is three months of imprisonment.
Being convinced that he'd be punished for his deed
he has committed yet another crime
by providing false evidence before the court.
As per IPC Section 201, he can be sentenced up to seven years.
Let's assume that her date of birth credentials are correct.
If his daughter is 18 years old for real
he'd have to agree that his wife was pregnant before marriage.
The documents prove that the minister is 53 years old.
He was 36 years old when he was married.
I am submitting the minister's wedding invitation, Your Honour.
I fear whether the minister
would deny that Karthika is his daughter.
'Spectacles.' The court
found the Power Minister Sasidhara Kurup guilty of the charges
accused against him by Vakkalathu Narayanankutty.
He was forced to resign the position of Power Minister.
Let's get to know more
about the man who fights
against human rights violation using law
through this programme.
Narayanankutty was born and brought up
in the village of Vaniyamkulam, Palakkad.
This is Padmanabhan, his father. - Shall we start?
Yes.
I'm his father. I'm the assistant of Advocate Chandi.
I always wanted him to attend law school.
Well..
He bagged a government job and hence didn't pursue it.
We had financial difficulties as well.
All he lacks is a degree.
Everyone in the village considers him a lawyer.
That's why he's addressed as Vakkalathu Narayanankutty.
It's nice to hear the people call him that.
Is that enough? - Cut. - Okay.
Karthyayani, his mother and Niveditha, his sister.
Action! - He always resolves matters of the village.
But he's never at home.
Mom. - That's my only complaint.
The villagers believe that he'd win the elections.
Would you consider your transfer to Trivandrum as a punishment?
It wasn't a punishment transfer.
It was a deputation post at the secretariat.
They might consider this as a punishment transfer.
However, I never thought so.
It's just like wishing for and being granted the same.
This is the land of Lord Vishnu!
This divine land called out for me.
'Vakkalathu Narayanankutty!'
I can't ignore that!
Maybe, Lord Vishnu wants me to fight against the demons!
I'm Advocate Mathew.
I'm here since I was called here urgently.
The S. I would be here in a moment. Please come in.
The S. I? No, thanks. I will wait here.
Please come inside, sir. - But..
Why was I called here? I'm in a hurry to leave.
Please come in, sir.
'Mathew, drink up the milk. Otherwise, I'll call the police.'
Don't bite your nails. - Narayanankutty!
Have you landed in trouble as soon as you got here?
Trouble? I wanted a solution for the trouble the railway created.
But they locked me up. - If you are innocent..
Look. It's just sweet peanuts.
The maximum retail price is Rs. 11.50.
But they charged me Rs. 12 on the train. - Might be service charge.
Narayanankutty, a train is mobile. - That's not a good enough reason.
Packaging and Commodities Act applies to the railway as well.
We can't spare them. We should file a case. Won't you present it?
What is the proof that you paid Rs. 12?
I asked for a bill. He didn't want to give it at first.
According to the sales law, if the price of an item is above Rs. 10
bill is mandatory. I told him that, and he gave me the bill.
He doesn't know who I am. I'll file a case for sure.
Should we do it for 50 paisa? - You don't know its value.
But I do. When coconut oil was Rs. 28 per litre
I've seen my mother argue with the shopkeeper
for 20 paisa because he took Rs. 3 for 100 ml.
A matchbox was 20 paisa then. Laws shouldn't be broken.
I want to let them know that there is a consumer court here.
You are doing this to a young man who sells sweet peanuts.
The railway general supervisor and catering supervisor
know all about this.
I'll file a case in the consumer court against the railway
for charging too much. That's for sure.
I also want to know on what grounds they locked me up.
That.. - According to Section 57 of criminal procedure code
a criminal can be kept in police custody for up to 24 hours.
Doesn't Vakkalathu Narayanankutty know that?
Sit down. - Mathew, sit down. - Okay.
Give him the application for bail. Mathew Neruparambil, my advocate.
If I could have the charge sheet.. Yes. What!
Vakkalathu Narayanankutty doesn't need bail.
This wouldn't have happened if I was there. Sorry.
I don't recognise you. - I know you even though you don't know me.
Do you remember Dakshayiniamma from Ottapalam Railway Quarters?
Yes. Dakshayiniamma. Wasn't she a teacher?
She lost her leg when it got stuck in a drainage slab in town.
Yes. She is the one. She is my mother.
We got compensation only because you filed a case.
I can never forget that.
Your scooter is at the railway platform. Here is the key.
Thank you, sir. Let's go.
There are chocolates and medicines in here.
Ma'am, this is Narayanankutty.
I'll see you later. After sister's exams, a transfer certificate..
I wonder if it is the same person.
I have seen him on TV and the papers.
Vakkalathu Narayanankutty. - No, Mathew. No. He can't stay here.
I don't want to deal with his mess at this old age.
That's because you don't know him well. - No. He'll stay now.
Then he won't leave no matter what.
You'll present his case. But I don't have money to hire a lawyer.
I have no help either. - She is angry this morning.
I'll deal with this. Is your husband around?
Her husband is dead. - Okay.
W-Where are your children? - Oh, God!
You handled that horribly. - Thank you. - Yes. Come.
Did I mess up? - Yes. Why did you ask about her children?
Doesn't she have children? - Yes. Five of them.
But none of them wants her. - Why is that? - Ungratefulness.
Others may wish for our destruction.
But my children pray that I go crazy.
I raised them, and this is what I got.
Vakkalathu Narayanankutty and Mathew, tell me one thing.
Can you punish them for being ungrateful?
There is no law for that. - No. - No.
But a mother can forgive.
So I forgave my children. Let them prosper.
Mother..
Come in with your right foot first, Narayanankutty.
Get in, but don't be ungrateful.
This is what I have to tell the honourable court.
Such a personal intervention of the Chief Minister cannot be treated
as an indication of the corrupt motive. That's all, Your Honour.
You! Wait.. I told you to wait.
Order.. - Hey. Stop it, I say!
You'll only tell the truth before the court. - Yes.
You won't tell anything but the truth. - Yes.
With God as witness. - With God as witness.
What do you do? - I'm a lawyer.
You won't become a lawyer just because you have a license.
Order.. What did you say he has?
Honourable court, it's a license to practise as an advocate.
He has passed the bar exam. - I secured a rank. - Really?
Passing the exam, wearing a gown, walking around the court
and playing cards don't make you a lawyer.
I don't play cards, Your Honour. - What!
Call me a house owner. Okay. You may continue.
Would you deny it if I say that you have an inferiority complex
because you couldn't be as good as your father?
Vakkalathu.. - Order..
This is not tolerated in the court. - Correct.
I have learned from my father that tobacco, alcohol
and bad habits like this are not banned in court.
I bring it to the attention of the honourable court that this person
imitates certain bad habits of his father. That is true.
But he talks too much and is scared of the police.
Since he doesn't deserve to be in the same league as his father
he is ruining his youth and his knowledge of the law.
He is also guilty of not protecting the rights of the citizens
and of not practising law to its full extent.
I present before you, Adv. Mathew Neruparambil.
Did your hand burn? - What you said burned more.
We'll see Eeswara Subrahmanya Iyer tomorrow.
He has saved many advocates. Okay? - Okay.
Goodnight.
For the reasons stated in paragraph eight of the judgement
it was proved beyond doubt that there was total negligence
on the part of the police department.
Copy the rest from the writ petition of Nawab Rajendran.
Change the names. Quick. - Okay, sir.
You are getting fat, Nancy. Control yourself.
There is a treatment for it. Shall I tell you? Naturopathy..
Look who it is. Have a seat. - Good morning, sir.
By the way, who is he? I didn't understand.
We are schoolmates. - Really? - I'm Adv. Mathew.
Which court do you practise in? - Sessions..
I heard about your transfer, Narayanankutty. That's good.
When did you reach?
I came yesterday. I have to join tomorrow. I came here
to hand Mathew over to you. - I understood..
What do you specialise in?
I'll handle any case that the police is not involved in.
Yes. The advocate general doesn't have the right
to accept cases from private parties.
Check the rules in part three. Okay?
Yes? - You might know him.
He is Adv. M. M. Chandi's son. - Criminal lawyer.
I didn't know he had a son. I can't reject your proposal.
Mr. Mathew, there is coffee in the flask outside. Bring it.
Yes. The verdict will be in our favour because of income tax..
No problem. - Why is he like this?
Is he training me to be a peon? I'm an advocate, Narayanankutty.
That is why he is like this. Even though he knows every
line of the law and constitution by heart, he is still a clerk.
He has an inferiority complex because he doesn't have a degree.
Should I be his punching bag? - Yes. You need to adjust.
You have a lot to gain and nothing but false prestige to lost.
I'm a clerk's son as well. Come on. - Okay.
Mathew drafted this to present in the consumer court.
Here it is. - Okay.
Railway's service charge.
You are at it again.
No wonder people call you Vakkalathu Narayanankutty.
Mr. Mathew, pour it into three cups.
Pour it into three cups.
Hey.. Don't pour it like that.
Look at me.
Pour it.
Sir. - Yes.
Thank you.
Well drafted, Mathew.
'Notwithstanding', 'anything stated above'
'in the facts and circumstances of the case'
'provided that', 'hence for the ground stated in the petition'.
There are advocates who think such blunders are good English.
But Mathew's drafting is not like that.
Thank you, sir.
If Narayanankutty and I make up our mind
we can get you to the Supreme Court.
Thank you, sir.
What's the matter, Amavasi?
It's a new moon today.
I will come early.
It's her, Amavasi.
My wife.
'The power crisis faced by Kerala'
'is critical.'
'To know today's importance..'
'Related to electricity generation..'
'We have to do a lot of things.'
Good morning, sir. - Good morning.
This is my..
Once again, good morning, sir.
Good morning. - I am joining today. These are my documents.
Greetings, sir. - Greetings.
Good morning. - Good morning, sir.
Sir.
The state conference is going to be held
in Trivandrum because of our efforts.
It was because of your effort, sir.
It should be great.
We have to collect money if it has to be great. - We will.
But the party has to allow.
Hey! - Sir? - Get me the attendance register.
Sir. - What?
Where should I give this letter?
Shoshamma handles this section. She is on leave. Maternity leave.
Oh, no! It's about my house.
Come after some time. Let Gangadharan come.
You can wait outside.
When is the delivery?
Hey, look. - Tea..
I'll get you tea in a moment. - Okay.
As Vakkalathu Narayanankutty took charge today
shall I bring chilli fritters for everyone?
It will be spicier
as it is under his name.
Yes. Is it?
Yes.
Okay, see you in the evening.
Hey, you are so naughty nowadays.
No. Okay..
Yes..
Oh, no.
Oh, God.
God! - Yes. Okay..
"It's beating in rhythm."
It's exactly 12:15 p.m.
Sundhari is punctual about this.
Come. - Okay.
What?
Aren't you having lunch, sir?
Lunch break is at 1 p.m., right?
Yes. Did you call me?
Oh.
What about my land, sir?
I don't have a shelter, sir.
You can fast in front of the secretariat.
There are many people there.
Sir.. - This has become a nuisance.
I just need a sign, sir. - You will get it done when it's time.
I know that, sir.
You cannot refrain from giving me the land when it is time.
Even if you don't grant me
I own the land in which my body will be buried.
Hey, come here. Come..
Threats..
We can put her behind bars for attempted suicide.
Am I right, Narayanankutty?
What? Yes.
In that case, we will have to charge case against everyone
who comes here. Isn't that right, sir?
Hey, first have chilli fritters and then tea.
The verdict of Mr. Soman's case is out.
He is a senior from now on.
Senthil Kumar will get reverted.
It will be fun to come to the office from today.
We will be able to see the fight between two enemies.
Take one, sir.
Let the government servants have it first.
Come.. - Go..
There is a meeting of the welcoming committee.
We'll go to the meeting after playing two rounds.
That is true.
Hey, Chandran. Behave!
'They are so strange!'
I am also leaving.
I won't be able to catch the bus if I don't go in time.
See you tomorrow. - Okay.
Aren't you leaving?
The office time is till 5 p.m. - Yeah, right!
What!
What is your name? - Krishnammal.
Everything will be fine. - How will that be possible?
Shoshamma's delivery..
Construction of James's house.. Gangadharan's serial..
By the time the documents reach the superiors after all this
I would be dead. - Don't say that.
I just joined today. - Okay.
Let me check the files. Give me the form.
I will be grateful if you get this done for me.
Bribe.. But I don't have anything with me right now.
Hello. Is this the Chief Minister? - Yes.
Tell me your name.
My name is Narayanankutty. - Okay, what's the matter?
Where are you from? - Trivandrum.
So it's a local call.
What's your complaint?
It's not about me, sir. A widow from Vilappilsala named Krishnammal
had given a petition last year.
It's about a factory which was started there.
When the government acquired the land
they lost their property. - Okay.
She was granted compensation for that.
But she still has not received it.
Red salute! - What is the status of her documents?
The clerk just has to verify the sanction paper. The rest is fine.
Why isn't he verifying it?
That is the complaint, sir. - Okay.
Dereliction of duty. - Yes..
Ask Krishnammal to file a complaint.
Okay, sir. In the government offices.. - Okay.
...staffs are not punctual, sir. - Oh.
Even if they come, they leave the office way too early.
How can you say it with authority?
I work at the secretariat, sir.
I am on deputation.
Who is this Narayanankutty which I don't know?
What is this?
Oh! Are you Vakkalathu Narayanankutty?
Yes, sir. Red salute! - I know you really well.
There is no minister who doesn't know you.
Aren't you the one who removed Sasidhara Kurup from office?
Oh, no. Nothing like that, sir.
You should interfere in Krishnammal's case. - Okay.
Make it fast. - Okay. - Let me see what I can do.
Okay, sir. Red salute! - Red salute!
Otherwise, he will take me to court.
We need people like him in this state.
He is my guy.
What? - Vakkalathu Narayanankutty was featured on television.
To hell with Vakkalathu Narayanankutty! - Oh, God!
Get lost!
I came to see you, sir. - It got sanctioned, right?
Yes, it's all done.
I got a land in my name now.
The Chief Minister's office got involved. - Yes.
Vakkalathu Narayanankutty made the Chief Minister do it all.
I want to meet him, sir.
Do you know him?
I haven't seen him yet.
"Come on, hug me.."
You respect your superiors. I liked it.
You'll prosper in life. - "Come to me.."
Do you know the rule of power?
Do you know? - No.
Do you know, Narayanankutty? - No.
It is mentioned in the ancient works of Chanakya.
A person who wants to be in power needs to follow six rules.
You should never confront your enemy who is powerful than you.
You should compromise.
If at all you fight, you are bound to get defeated.
You should never fight with someone who is equal to you as well.
If you do so, both of them would have adverse effects.
You should compromise there as well.
Fight against the one who is weaker than you.
You should mow them down.
Did you understand, Mathew? - I..
If not, just have a drink for now.
What is it, Pournami? Is it so?
Where? In Kozhikode? Okay, I will be there in two hours.
That was Pournami, my wife.
The moon was visible in Kozhikode.
So it will be a full moon on the fifteenth day from today.
Sir, I wanted to ask you something.
Aren't you married already?
Is it legal to have another wife?
Pournami.. - We had warned him. But he is drunk.
Please lay him on the cot.
Pournami, I have..
Okay, boys.. - We shall take your leave.
Goodnight. - Okay.
Come here!
The one who follows the law from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
goes haywire from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
He is very open minded. - Right.
"Lord reclining in the ocean of milk."
Sing, dear. - Whatever!
"Lord reclining in the ocean of milk."
Shucks!
Don't even think of showing this freedom
when you see him in the office tomorrow.
He is very strict. Come on!
Mathew, you must be punctual.
You should come a little bit earlier.
You should be here at sharp 8.00 a.m. Do you understand?
I was stuck in traffic.. - No excuse!
Delayed justice is denied justice.
Similarly, delayed performance is non-performance.
I am sorry, sir. - All right.
Citizens! Learn the rules to be followed for just Rs. 10.
'Can you open an umbrella while riding on a two-wheeler?'
'Can you demand to stop the bus when you feel like peeing?'
These are the various rules that one must keep in mind
from the day he is born to the day he goes the way of all flesh.
Just Rs. 10. Buy and read them.
Yes.. Just Rs. 10.. Who wants it?
Just Rs. 10.
Oh! What a surprise! Mr. Vakkalathu Narayanankutty!
Why do you need this book? I know you very well.
You know all the rules by heart, don't you?
What is your name? - I am Bobby. Captain Bobby.
Sir, the green signal is on.
Can you drop me on the other side, sir? - Come on.
The rules to be known..
'Nalinakshan. T. P.' - What do you want?
Have you got ready for some fancy dress competition
or are you a dummy policeman? - Why?
I just wanted to know whether you are a real traffic policeman.
Are you making fun of me? - Not at all, sir.
Don't you see that sign board? What does it say?
Why? Why are you asking?
Sir, read that board.
Read and gain knowledge. - Read it, sir!
No parking. - Do you know the meaning of that?
It means that vehicles should not be parked here.
I think he can't understand English. - Hey, don't teach me!
Don't get furious, sir.
What is this? - A Santro. - Isn't this a vehicle?
You should file a case, sir!
How can you neglect it when it is right under your nose?
You should call the control room and ask them to tow this vehicle.
Such a pity!
Laws are being broken right under the nose of a policeman.
This is the plight of our state! - Plight! - Just Rs. 10!
This is the idiocy of people here. - Just Rs. 10!
Officers like you are being liberal with them.
Just Rs. 10! - I am going to report this.
Sir! Tow it!
Whom are you saluting? - She is the DGP's daughter.
Hey, wait.. What did you say? - She's the daughter of DGP Kurian.
You should have said that before.
Sorry, I didn't recognise you.
We were fighting over this vehicle
being parked in the no parking area.
I just turned around when I saw him trembling with fear.
That is when I saw your highness.
Which royal family do you belong to, Your Highness?
Do you mind disclosing your identity? - Mind your words!
Get lost!
Are the rules different for DGP's daughter?
File a case against her, sir!
I am helpless, sir.
If you file a case against DGP's daughter
you will get a transfer for sure.
But if you don't, I will get you fired.
The ball is in your court.
Sir.. - Traffic rules for just Rs. 10..
Just Rs. 10. Please read it, sir.
Sir, you must read and learn this.
Take it, sir!
We protest together. - We protest together..
Protesting is the only way out.. - Sir, just a minute.
All parties are protesting today. What is the reason?
It is against alcohol. - Good.
What will you get at the end of the day?
Money to have our daily shots.
Come on..
Yes?
Oh! Please come in..
Welcome, Mr. Vakkalathu Narayanankutty.
Sit down. Please be seated.
Circle Inspector.. Oh! Sorry, you have lost that post.
Sub Inspector Chandran. Why did you summon me here?
Just to express my gratitude.
I didn't even get time to thank you for demoting me
from a circle inspector to a sub inspector!
Hey, Vakkalathu! Hey! Thank you!
I am forever indebted to you.
You taught me my responsibilities!
You reported to the anti-corruption department and got me
caught by the vigilance for taking bribe. That was very great of you!
You filed a complaint against my illegal assets!
You taught me social service, patriotism, civil rights
law and justice and official duties!
If you had taught me this before
I would have got full marks in my exams.
Anyway, I thank you for teaching me
all this at least now! I will be ever grateful to you, Vakkalathu!
Mention not, sir. - That is correct.
I need not mention it.
But I have turned into a ruthless brute now!
I have come here to destroy you!
This is Trivandrum.
In order to survive here
you'll have to bend your knees before the superiors.
Your bloody rules will never work out here, dear.
Hello? - Is this police station? - No, it's a hotel! Bastard!
Before you even think of going against them
they will destroy you completely!
You will have to witness your destruction helplessly!
We have a habit of applauding even to stop a speech.
I have important things to attend.
Exactly!
You can do your work.
The policemen will do theirs.
We will decide whether to file a case against
the DGP's daughter for breaking the traffic rules. - I see.
This is our job. - Right. You are absolutely right.
You are all government servants.
Saying, 'To serve people and protect law', won't suffice, sir.
If policemen themselves break the rules, I cannot ignore it.
This is a free country. - Hey!
Oh! Softly. Rascal!
You..
Oh! Oh, no..
Oh, God..
I had to take it out on someone! Scoundrel!
Kukku, you are crossing your limits.
Freedom is my birthright, Mom!
I don't like anyone interfering in that.
After all, it is just a silly traffic law! - That is enough!
There are many allegations against your father.
And now you too.. Don't get me started.
Mom, don't get upset.
Which rascal has the guts to mess with my daughter?
Vakkalathu Narayanankutty!
Oh! The smart fellow who got you demoted.
You had struggled a lot to get that order cancelled.
Aren't you ashamed?
I will get my hands on him. - Rubbish!
I can hear your heart throbbing when you hear his name.
You are good for nothing!
He is poison.
Rule breakers fear his name.
You will have to handle this carefully.
Do not underestimate him!
If you do, you will see him explode!
Take it from me.
I didn't teach him a lesson as I normally would have
because if I did anything, it would be trouble for you, sir.
If that happens, the newspapers will make it even bigger.
They love him to bits.
Even if he just..
What the hell! Gross! - ... sneezes
the papers will report that it was a tornado.
Let him try.
We will teach him a lesson.
I have a solution.
Call Mr. Iyer.
Yes.. Is it?
I'll tell you what, Mr. Kurian.
Arrange a backdated learner's license.
Then stick an 'L' sign on the car.
Let them charge the case. I will take care of the rest.
Okay.
Nancy. Call Mathew.. No! He is Narayanankutty's friend.
Ask Advocate Abdulla to come to my cabin.
Come on. - Wait.
What? - It's nothing. - Then what?
If the same police officer who charged the case is a witness
would it affect me in the future? - What? - Would it?
Narayanankutty, give him a blessed amulet
before he goes to the court.
Why is that? - You might get scared of the police.
Who's afraid of the traffic police?
Then, are you afraid of the DGP's daughter? - No!
She is just a kid. - No. Don't underestimate her.
She is a stubborn girl. Do you know who her lawyer is?
Do you? - Who is it? - It's Advocate Abdulla.
Come on.
Remember that if you lose this case
we will hand you over to the police. - Oh, no!
Is there a traffic signal post eight meters to the north
of Meppadi junction?
Yes, sir.
When was it installed? - More than a year ago.
How is it holding up?
Well, the rain last year.. - Don't ask them. - Okay.
What is that board? - It's a signal board. 'No parking.'
What is it made of? - Tin.
Won't tin rust in the rain? - Of course.
The 3 mm gauge tin board
rusted after 2335 mm of rain.
Court should also note it is near the coastal area with salty winds.
The 'No parking' board rusted.
At first, the 'N' from the 'No parking' disappeared.
Then the 'O' disappeared, too.
Ms. Kukku Kurian, a well-educated student of the law
who is also a good citizen
on the day of the accused crime
parked the car in the place after reading the parking sign.
So what? To get back at the police officers, some people
may accuse the daughters of police officers of such petty crimes
to humiliate them, Your Honour.
I request the court to free the accused as she is innocent.
That's all, Your Honour.
Wait for Mathew. - Yes.
Do you understand left and right? - I do.
Was the sign board on the left or the right side?
On the right side. - That's when we go to Palayam from the Statue.
On which side is it when we return? - On the left side.
So the right and left side depend on the direction, right? - Yes.
Iyer. - Yes.
He is asking me things that are out of the scope of this case.
Your Honour, a driver must be aware
of left, right and the wrong sides.
These questions were to confirm that the accused is intelligent.
We could set her free if she is stupid.
He is indecently assaulting me. - Did you mean insulting? - Yes.
Thank God she didn't say rape!
What is this? We need to teach her Malayalam.
There are many meanings for one word in Malayalam.
It must be handled carefully.
So did you mistake a 'No parking' to be a 'Parking' board? - Yes.
But you didn't see a 'Parking' board there.
There was no 'No' on that board.
Was there a 'Car' instead, as in 'Car Parking'?
No. - So was there a 'No' on it?
I mean 'No'?
Did you see it when you parked your car on the wrong side?
Are you sure that there was no 'No'? That's the question.
What is he saying? - No. - What? - I don't know.
No. - He is confusing me.
After a long time, if the 'Par' disappears just like
how the 'No' disappeared, would you read it as 'King'?
I will. - Will you park your car there
if you see that board?
I have one thing to say to the court.
Please don't waste any time testing her intelligence.
I request you to free the accused. - No.
This is a scheme of the defence lawyer to prove that she is stupid.
So I request you to convict the accused.
Consider the fact that the accused is a student of the law.
That's all, Your Honour.
Very good.
This court has decided after hearing both sides of the case
that the accused shall remain under custody until the court disperses.
Oh, my Lord!
She has to be here until the court disperses.
It's time!
'DGP's daughter.'
'You were at least punished for a minute. I'm satisfied.'
'Vakkalathu Narayanankutty won the 'No parking' case.'
'The court ruled that Vakkalathu Narayanankutty was right.'
'The law student who violated the traffic law'
'receives an ideal punishment.'
'In the traffic case involving the DGP's daughter, Kukku Kurian'
'the court congratulated Vakkalathu Narayanankutty'
'and criticised the incompetence of the police.'
"Let it go.."
Congratulations, Mathew. You have proved it.
The DGP has really noted you. That's good. - Thank you, sir.
I know you too are behind this, Vakkalathu Narayanankutty.
Abdulla wasn't the only one who lost.
Indirectly, you have defeated me too. - Yes.
Good. Your journey has started.
This is a good start.
You have to look into the petition he made on the secretariat case.
A petition?
This is a secretariat case. Bless me!
My..
My dear!
What happened? - Something's wrong.
'Delayed performance is non- performance.'
Come. Let's call a rickshaw. - Okay.
There won't be even one rickshaw when you need it.
Or else they run you over.. - What? - No. they will be all around you.
Hey! - No!
Isn't that DGP's daughter? - Yes. Kukku. - Yes.
Since DGP's daughter, Ms. Kukku, who studies in the law college
was punished for violating traffic rules
she tried to exact revenge on Narayanankutty and Adv. Mathew
who were on their way to the Vanchiyoor Court
by running them over.. - No!
No.. - What? We can take her to the court again. - No.
No. We should complain against the corporation. - Yes.
We pay our taxes. See how damaged it is. - Yes.
Then against the corporation.. - Hey!
First, focus on the secretariat case. - Okay.
Okay. Yes. Hello. Please.
Rickshaw! Come. - Okay.
Where to? - Vanchiyoor.
I can't. - Can't you?
Then why do you ride a rickshaw?
Are you teaching me the law? - Let's get another one.
He is rude. - I don't care. 'For hire' means we can hire it.
If this vehicle is for hire and if he is the driver
he has to drop us where we want.
That's a traffic rule. Get in, Mathew.
Go to Vanchiyoor Court.
Start the meter!
The supreme court has ruled that Chief Minister is a public servant.
M. Karunanidhi versus the Union of India. Legal citation..
AIR 1979, SC 898. - Yes. - There is one more case like that.
The State of Maharashtra versus
Ramdas Shrinivas Nayak. - Yes. - Am I right? - Exactly!
If we refer these judgements in the secretariat case
we will win for sure.
We have to win, Mr. Iyer. These officers are public servants.
Yes. - They have their duties to the people.
Yes. - The people's taxes are what pays their bill.
So we have to win.
Excuse me.. - What?
I was waiting for you. - Why? I didn't ask you to.
Okay. If you are trying to argue about the waiting charge
I didn't ask you to wait.
When I realised that the guy who rode in my vehicle
was Vakkalathu Narayanankutty, I wanted to meet you.
Get in. - Are you drunk?
Yes. Are you afraid that I might crash the vehicle somewhere?
You want to live some more, right? - Take this.
I am not that interested in living that long.
Let's go. - Okay. I have some things to tell you.
You can waste your whole life to protect the law.
I have one request.
Please don't trouble the poor who live by their daily wage
Narayanankutty.
You should tear down the masks of the selfish politicians
who exploit the poor to make easy money
by using the law as a weapon.
It's going to be a mammoth task. The common people who live
abiding the rules even though they have to suffer a lot
and the people who celebrate their life
and violate every rule without any hesitation live in the same place.
'Gods own country.'
'Vakkalathu Narayanankutty wins again.'
'Punching cards to be implemented in the secretariat.'
'The high court has ordered to'
'implement the punching card system.'
'Keeping the public interest in mind'
'Vakkalathu Narayanankutty who is a secretariat employee'
'filed a complaint in the high court.'
'The order has been passed because of that.'
Cancel the punching card system. 'Punching card is unscientific.'
Cancel the punching card system..
Long live the revolution. - Long live the revolution..
Long live the employee's confederation..
Isolate the traitors.. - Isolate the traitors..
Long live the employee's confederation..
Cancel the punching card system..
Cancel the punching card system. - Cancel the punching card system..
Long live the employee's confederation..
Go back, Vakkalathu Narayanankutty.
When it's a government job
you can do things according to your wish.
The freedom that you are demanding
is an inconvenience for the public.
You wish to come and go as they please. That's not freedom!
Is that freedom? - Go back.. - Work..
Work.. You have to work for it.
Aren't you getting paid every month?
Go back..
I have to work. So move out of my way.
Hey!
Sir. - Go back, traitor. - Yes, sir.
Escort Narayanankutty, Chandran. - Okay, sir.
Go back.. - Did you get the call?
I want protection to go inside.
It's almost 10 a.m.
Is your funeral at 10 a.m.? - I think he
is listening. - What are you saying?
I was not talking to you, sir. Let's go.
He heard you again. - What?
I'm not talking to you, sir.
Come.. - Let's go.
Cobra calling Chandran. Chandran?
Watch my foot.
Go back. - Go back, traitor Narayanankutty..
Move. - Go back.. - His stomach is blocking me.
Move your stomach.
The police should follow the law.
Stop helping a criminal like him! - Stop helping a criminal like him!
Keep them away.
Move. - Don't push.
Go back.
Move. - Make some way.
You can go by yourself from here. - What about the escort?
To hell with your escort! - What?
Get lost, man. - Oh. - What?
It's open, sir. - What?
You left your zip open. - The police must.. - Oh, no.
Shut up. - Go back!
Go back. - Go back, Narayanankutty.
Go back, Narayanankutty.. - Long live Narayanankutty..
Hey, you! - Long live Narayanankutty.
Go back, Narayanankutty!
Go back! - Be careful.
Go back. - Go back, Vakkalathu Narayanankutty.
Go back.. - Oh!
Oh, no. Sorry. Have a seat.
It's okay. - I know that you are on duty.
But still, you have to sit down for me.
Oh, you should also do the same, please.
Be comfortable.
Cheers!
Listen, man.
Vakkalathu Narayanankutty taught public servants a lesson.
It was on the TV. You should appreciate him.
Then, he will bring down the police.
He will be happy after that.
Stop it, man.
The police are better at bringing down others. Like this!
Come here.
How dare you sing praises of him, rascals! - Is he mad?

I don't know if I deserve this award.
But there is something that I know.
No matter who worked behind this organisation
the one that I respect and look up to
is my dearest friend, Vakkalathu Narayanankutty.
Without Vakkalathu Narayanankutty
there would have never been an Advocate Mathew
to receive this award.
Move back. Let me see you properly.
Yes, now you look like an advocate.
What do think, Vakkalathu Narayanankutty?
It's all because of your training.
No.. It's because of him.
Hey, fix me another drink.
We will not rest no matter what.
The change should start from the people.
Aren't we also among the people?
We have to work hard to change ourselves.
We should work hard and use our brains for it.
You should surpass your father's fame.
After that, Vakkalathu Narayanankutty will be happy.
You gave me a fertile seed, Vakkalathu Narayanankutty.
This seed is going to be a huge tree one day.
But it doesn't mean that the tree will provide shade.
That's how nature works.
This is a case where the accused is sentenced to death.
Rajappan murder case.
The accused is Jaganathan. You should save him.
That case was already solved.
There is a higher court
and we have Advocate Mathew with us.
It's a property dispute that ended up in murder.
The crime happened in a public place.
I'm not thrilled with Advocate Mathew appearing for this case.
No one can tell him not to give you suggestions.
We have the freedom of speech in our country.
But he doesn't have the right to order you.
Let Advocate Mathew prove himself again.
Don't take up this case, Mathew. It's a property dispute.
There is no public interest in this.
Public interest. Exactly.
The public is interested to know more about this case.
When the case was being held at the sessions court
the newspaper which was covering it
had to increase their copies.
These days, this is what the public is interested in.
Why are you not saying anything, Mathew?
There is no harm in looking into it once again.
Jaganathan had killed Rajappan.
Did you see that?
I.. There are witnesses, Mathew.
They were Rajappan's men.
How can we trust their testimonies?
It's a challenging case.
In an advocate's career..
Dronacharya didn't teach Arjuna to shoot the arrow.
He just taught him to load it.
Arjuna was the one who hit the target.
So, he's the hero.
It's good that Adv. Mathew Neruparambil
is moving for his clients' convenience.
Should we give it in the news?
What is this? You've been doing this for a while.
Since it's a famous case, there'll be a lot of clients
and witnesses.
It's better to consider their convenience too.
It's better to move near to Iyer's office.
I know what you mean. I changed a lot, right?
You were the one who took me to him.
It was you who wanted me to be a successful lawyer.
I'm changing the house for your convenience.
Will this space suffice when your parents move here?
Will you forget me if I move out?
I didn't want you to go. That's why I told you so.
It's all right. Be pragmatic, man.
Be there in time. Won't they come tomorrow morning?
I wish my kids were like you.
It's good that Mathew moved out. He had helped you a lot.
He's a good guy.
Don't even think about getting a house in Trivandrum fast.
Stop, Raghu.
Move..
Take the vehicle, Raghu.
Whose auto rickshaw is this?
It's mine, sir. - Is this how you park your vehicle?
A kid is badly hurt. - We'll take care of that.
Don't take the law into your hands. - I'm not.
Isn't it for people like you to abuse?
What? - Don't touch me. - What'll you do?
Arrest him. Move.. - Don't hit him.. - Who're you..
We're poor people, sir. - Move.. I'll beat you up. What?
What will you do? Who're you to take the law into your hands?
We're poor people.. - Are you messing with the police?
Take the vehicle. Hurry up.
Raghu. - Go, Narayanankutty. - Is he your strength?
Please, don't hit him, sir.
Hello..
Sir.
Excuse me, sir. Please, sir.
Stop the car.
Take them to the hospital immediately. Quick.
Thank you..
Go to the hospital immediately.
Where is the casualty? - There. - Thank you.
Are you holding on to procedures when it's a matter of a life!
What the bloody hell! - Behave yourself. - What is this?
Sir. - Narayanankutty?
Aren't you calm and composed always?
What happened to you? - I get mad when I see some things.
Doctors must understand the value of life.
We understand it when we're about to die.
A bit of humanity, some value.. Look at that kid's face.
Formality.. - What the hell.. - Narayanankutty.
Please, Doctor.
Land animals from ants to elephants..
Marine animals from prawns to whales..
Birds from sparrows to vultures.
There are laws to protect bees and butterflies for that matter.
Wildlife Protection Act. - The laws are fine, Mathew.
But there are a lot of groups that work under these laws.
We'll be in trouble if we touch an elephant's tail or make it walk.
If we chain it at our place, we'll be arrested for torturing!
Don't these guys eat the meat of innocent animals daily?
Humans can fight with each other like animals.
There is no union to question that.
No. A policeman can do anything to a common man.
Chandran took out the anger he had for you.
We can't leave this.
Have your parents come, Narayanankutty?
Oh, God..
Oh, God.
You are here to reform the public. Why would you care about us?
How's the kid that was in the accident, Brother?
She's okay since I took her to the hospital.
Yes. - Tell her the whole story!
To hell with it! We were new to this place.
There was a girl with us. Did you think of her? - I'm sorry.
She has started. She'll be satisfied only after scolding him.
Only a mother knows the pain.
It's good that you're with Iyer.
He's intelligent. - How's the police here? - Hey..
He's not the old Mathew. - What have you thought?
Did you think that I'm afraid of the police?
It changed after he came.
Now, they are afraid of me.
Tell them. - Get his head straight, Mathew.
Is it curved, Mom?
Isn't he standing straight? - Didn't you get what she said?
Don't spoil your life. Isn't that right, ma'am?
Now I got it.
You are so naive, Mr. Narayanankutty?
There is a minimum donation of Rs. 25,000.
There are people who pay even more.
Rs, 25,000? - Even the admission to a nursery school costs more.
Anyway, I've got a sanction from the committee
to charge you less. You may pay just Rs. 10,000.
No. - You can give it tomorrow if you don't have it today.
We know you well, Narayanankutty. - No.. - Brother.
Take your hands off me. You don't know me well.
I won't give you a single penny. - Please.
It's her right. - Please. - Why should she pay donation?
Listen. - Our morality has gone to the dogs.
I won't allow this corruption. - I'll.. I'll take.. Please.
No. - Then, she won't get an admission here.
There is no evidence that they asked you for money.
Pay it and get the receipt. We'll defeat them legally.
We must. Our educational system is corrupt, Mathew.
Repair it any way you want.
But how can he take up that case?
They are considering him to be their new legal advisor.
They've taken the decision too. You just have to say yes.
Didn't you tell him? - I didn't know.
I'm very sorry. I forgot to tell you.
The dad of the ex-minister's son-in-law is the trustee.
You can leave after breakfast. - No, thank you.
You stated the fact clearly. I know how to handle this case.
I need no one's help.
The corruption in the educational sector starts from kindergarten.
To be frank
even before delivering a child, their school admissions are fixed.
Or else, the kid would lose a year.
The parents are being interviewed at the time of enrolment
rather than the kids. The length of Bhakra-Nangal Dam..
How far is the moon from earth..
India's 8th Prime Minister..
Questions like these are asked to the parents.
There are schools that fined kids for talking in their mother tongue.
That's a must!
Only then will our next generation
say that they don't know Malayalam well.
Then, fund collection.
There are many reasons for them to collect money.
Donation, building fund, furniture fund
bathroom construction fund..
The management of Vidya Niketan College asked me Rs. 10,000
when I went there for my sister's admission.
Is there any proof, Mr. Narayanankutty?
Yes, sir. The receipt that I paid the money.
Don't the poor need to study?
Government colleges take no donations.
You could've taken her there.
The government colleges didn't have the subject that she studied.
The government has divided the subjects into broad categories
and has given it to the private colleges.
It is to increase the scope of corruption.
Isn't donation our full-hearted contribution to something?
How can we call it illegal?
It's nice that you're trying
to legalise this extortion.
People like you encourage corruption.
There are no organisations to question this.
You'll alienate the ones who speak.
As journalists, are these your morals?
We'll give Rs. 10,000 back to your brother with added interest.
But on one condition. You should quit the college.
What is she crying about? No one died here.
The neighbours won't let me do a good thing and now my family too.
That's enough of your reasons. I don't want to hear it.
I know what you are angry about.
If it's because of the money you gave her, take my chain. - Mother.
What are you doing? Don't do this to me.
It is for a reason. It's not easy to take care of a family.
You'd even sell your house
to save a random person in court. You won't do it for your sister.
I didn't want to hurt anyone. I only wanted good..
But now even you say that I was wrong.
'Taking money for school and college admissions is forbidden.'
'Narayanankutty's historic win.' What!
Hey. What did you say?
Didn't you call him a fool?
'Taking money for school and college admissions is forbidden.'
Government order. I'm proud of him.
You should be proud too. - Leave me. What happened to you?
Come here. - The children are here.
Oh, no! I can't be the chief guest.
We've decided that you should be the chief guest on World Law Day.
We have decided. - That is my scooter. - Oh. Sorry.
Me as a chief guest.. - We're sure that you won't 'profuse'.
It's not 'profuse', but refuse.
Where is the function at? - At the law college.
Your father is the DGP.
You might get me beaten up by policemen if I don't show up.
Okay. I'll come. - Thank you, sir. - You're welcome.
Respected members on the dais and my dear students.
Swami Vivekananda said this while addressing students once.
'What is education? Is it reading books?'
No. Is it general knowledge? It's not that either.
Education is about finding a path to learn.. - Ready?
...and exercise your passion for something.
This desire has been lost among the last couple of generations.
What we have now is not education.
Our growth is stunted.
For growth, we need freedom. You need it
to think and speak.
What is this?
We have the freedom to boo too.
You need freedom when it comes to food, clothing, and even marriage.
We need freedom to love too. - Right!
And God. I don't believe that God will make me happy in heaven
when he can't even give me a meal when I want it.
Make us happy, Vakkalathu.
These words by Swami Vivekananda have great importance.
Swami Vivekananda's.. Don't throw.
Swami.. Swami.
How did you like your welcome, Vakkalathu?
You can't file a case every time. They are students.
They have freedom to do what they want. Don't take it seriously.
Making fun of me was okay. It's just personal. But they made fun of
Swami Vivekananda's words. That is like making fun of him.
We shouldn't allow it, Mathew. - I understand what you're saying.
But I can't agree to this completely.
No.. I deserve this for asking for your help.
Narayanankutty, you are in a dream world, far from reality.
You will become a maniac soon if this goes on. A litigation maniac..
Sorry. I'm not interested in this case. Please.
I understand. Your likes and career should stay that way.
You need to be ambitious to be successful.
You need to learn to forget the past and concentrate on present.
I've always wanted you to become a good advocate.
But you lost something in your success story.
The goodness of your heart.
What can I do if you feel like that? To be honest
I can't present silly cases like this.
Very good, Mr. Mathew. I really appreciate you.
Narayanankutty will file a case. But you should appear against him.
I.. - You should.
You should appear against him. This is your profession.
All the best, Mathew. This is your time to shine.
You should fight no matter who your enemy is.
Don't be perplexed. Greetings.
Yes. Come. - My God.
Dad, didn't you say Rs. 10,000? - Yes. Give it to him.
Here. - Sir.. - Yes. - Take it.
Kukku is giving it to you. Accept it happily.
Thanks. - It's okay. - That is good.
The results would be good if the pay is good.
That's a science in itself. - You could say that.
You could call it by any name, and it would all be the same.
Vakkalathu Narayanankutty should never bother him again.
Who asked you to talk about him now? - DGP..
Sorry, sir. The tea.. I didn't do it.
Do you accept your crime? - Yes.
I didn't boo him, sir. I'm ready to be questioned.
For the attention of the honourable court, I'm the plaintiff.
Do you have a lawyer to present your case? - No, sir.
I'm ready to present the case myself.
I hope that I'm not breaking the law. - Okay, Narayanankutty.
You may proceed. - Thank you, Your Honour.
Your name? - Kukku. - Is that your real name?
Yes. - Is it Kookku or Kukku? - Kukku Kurian.
Kurian? - He is my father. Kurian Kulappurayil.
Okay. What about your mother? - Kunjuthresia Kuzhiveli.
Kurian, Kunjamma, Kukku.
Can I say that it screams for attention? - Sir, that's not right.
Your Honour, it is a lie that Kukku booed and asked others
to boo and make fun of Narayanankutty.
She had been sick for the last four months with an infected throat.
I'm presenting the certificate that ENT specialist Eenashu prepared.
Exhibit number one.
My God!
Do you have anything to say, Narayanankutty?
I want to question Dr. Eenashu, Your Honour. - Proceed.
Dr. Eenashu, did you give that certificate? - Yes.
So she was not healthy enough to boo, right?
She couldn't have done that on the day of the incident.
How long has she been sick? - Four months.
What about now? - She is all right. - I understood that.
Can she boo now? - Yes, she can. - Oh, no!
Okay. That's all, Your Honour.
Allow me to question Mr. Sundaran, the famous drama artist.
Yes. Proceed.
You were the judge in the inter law college drama competition that
happened on December 12, 1999. - Yes. - Okay.
Which was the best play? - 'The Blue Fox.'
Who was the best actress? - Kukku Kurian.
Which was the play she was in? - 'The Blue Fox.'
Which character did she play? - 'The Blue Fox.'
Did anyone howl in that? - No one booed at the play
but there was howling in the play.
Did you congratulate her after the play? - Yes.
What did she say?
She howled loud like a fox. - Drat!
That's all, Your Honour.
We shouldn't have accepted our mistake that fast. Too bad.
We could have gone to the court every day.
The way his mind works is a wonder.
He is handsome too.
I'm ready to accept any crime if he is the one questioning me.
Really? That's the art of cross-examination.
Cross-examination is an art and the person who does it is an artist.
"Oh, rainbow, do you want to"
"embrace the lightning?"
"Oh, rainbow, do you want to"
"embrace the lightning?"
"Do you want to get lost"

"to swing in the arms of the breeze."
"The songs that you hum.."
"Is it only meant for you to hear?"

Oh, pigeon in the snow"
"don't climb atop the clouds."
"Will you come this way"

For the health, wealth and prosperity of Mathew Neruparambil
the public prosecutor. - Long live Advocate Mathew!
Cheers! - Cheers..
Hello. - Hello.
Now that you are a public prosecutor
you can do anything in public, can't you?
Hey, no! I'm not drunk.
Even now, I am not intoxicated.
You may ask me anything.
You can ask me any law.
According to the criminal law, is defamation case among the cases
which can be compromised?
Of course!
The accused can be let free
if the plaintiff withdraws his complaint.
Do you have any other doubt?
Will Narayanankutty be aware of this law?
Well, I doubt
if he'd agree to a compromise.
I have no doubt.
Hi, Mathew! Take care of your health.
Have some chicken fried rice.
I'll have it later.
They are a perfect match.
Why can't you register a legal form together?
I'll be in charge of it. Sir, do you have any objection?
Praise the Lord!
Thank you, sir.
So I was right about everything.
"We were made for each other."
It's not like that.
Don't be greedy and grab it. It's very hot.
Give me a peg.
Even he is a policeman. Oh, God!
Okay. I'll be back.
Okay. - Hello. - Mr. Kurian..
Hello, Mathew.
I didn't see your friend, Vakkalathu Narayanankutty.
Didn't you invite him?
Yes. He was invited.
We have sent an elephant to invite him.
Will your wife welcome him with a lamp?
Hey, be careful!
Why are you getting worked up on hearing his name?
I do have a problem. - Chandran.
I will burn like the sun if needed.
The newspapers are filled with his praises.
The TV channels are filled with his interviews.
Events are filled with his speeches.
The townsfolk are singing praises of him.
Praise the Lord. - That's all you can say.
I thought I'd find some peace here. Now you want to see him too!
You needn't drink this. Well, I won't waste it.
Do you want to see him?
I'll beat you to a pulp. - What is this?
"Praise to you!"
"Praise to you, Almighty."
"You are the.. - Shall I accompany you"
to the forest?"
"Hey.." - Oh, God! What is this?
Hey, Mathew had come. - What was he doing here?
Though he's achieved a lot, he still remembers us.
He is a good man.
Why did he come? - Does he need a reason to visit us?
Oh!
What is your.. - Go and tell him.
He needs a clerk.
He wants me to do it.
When Mathew says.. - No, that won't happen.
Don't I have needs too?
Those needs will be met with that money.
Why are you explaining it to him?
Your father gave his word to Mathew.
File a case if it's illegal for a father to work!
Can a son file a case against his father going for work?
Maybe he can.
Hello. - This is Advocate Mathew. Can I speak to your father?
It's Mathew.
Sir. What is it, sir?
Yes. I'll come, sir. Okay. I'll do it, sir.
Yes, sir. I agree, sir. Okay.
Wait..
Thank you.
Who is singing?
That's Narayanankutty's father. - Oh!
"Hail Lord Ganesha.."
Greetings, sir.
What is this?
Sit straight.
Sister Niveditha? - Yes.
Mother India! - What?
Is that his mother?
Yes.
Where is he? I can't see him.
Whom are you looking for?
Where is the hero?
Are you talking about Narayanankutty? - Correct.
He goes to office at 8 a.m. - Oh, no!
Bye, ma'am!
Who are you?
Kukku.
Why did you come? - To give you chocolate.
Whenever you want chocolate, I'll bring it for you. Bye.
Where is your concentration, you..
Hello.
Sorry.
I had a doubt. You were not at home.
A law point of mine..
You.. - I mean, to clear a love point.
Don't you now hate me a lot lesser than you had once?
Kutty's looks.. - What?
I mean, Narayanankutty's looks
and expressions
have changed a little bit.
You are a little confused, aren't you?
You will be. My route is clear now.
My red signal has changed. I'll wait for it to be green now.
N-No parking.
Correct. That means we can proceed with this.
I expect a reply soon. Okay?
Ignorance of law.. Sorry. Love, is not an excuse.
Get in.
As people need the freedom of speech and thought
they need the freedom to wear what they choose, right?
I read your speech at the law college in the paper.
Did you come here to say this?
When I heard you were waiting for me, I thought it was serious.
You can decide that for yourself.
Here.
This is the attire Niveditha and her friends
wore to protest against the banning
of western clothes in the college campus.
They came to me when the principal took disciplinary action.
You sister asked me what was wrong with this attire.
She said that we lived in a free country
and that everyone has the freedom to wear what they want.
She asked me to file a writ.
Shall I file it?
It will be sensational.
Your sister protesting in the court for her rights.
And the case is presented by a close friend of Narayanankutty.
I will kill you. - Please don't. - Is this why you go to college?
You!
You have caused me shame.
Mom. - I had loved you a lot.
Is this how you repay me? - Hey.
Narayanankutty. - Stop. - Leave me!
He will kill her. Narayanankutty.. - Be quiet.
Leave me. He will kill her.
Narayanankutty. - He is doing the right thing.
Freedom and anarchy are two different things.
But you failed to understand that difference.
You!
This is a potion. Drink it while it's hot.
That will give you some relief from fever.
Didn't she go to college today? - She is getting ready.
I hit her a lot.
It's good that you beat her.
That fixed her. Otherwise, she might have gone astray.
I will offer four bottles of toddy to God for reforming her.
You always talk about toddy. - Don't say that.
Did I hurt you? - Yes, a little bit.
Behave well hereafter. - It's not that.
You argue that laws are same for everyone.
Yet, you acted differently when it came to your sister.
You are provoking me. - I'm happy that you beat me.
I realised your love for me.
Those are some chocolates for you. - Thank you.
Be careful that your sugar levels are kept under control.
I will have one daily.
Good girl.
Hey.
What? - Hey.
Get out.
Don't howl.
She will see us. - I bribed her with chocolates.
Why are you here? What is the matter?
I need to clarify some doubts regarding laws. - I'm not a lawyer.
But you are mine.
Mother. - Oh, no!
"Mother.. Toddler, here comes your mother."
"Hug her dearly.. Mother.."
Kutty, did your mother leave?
What is your doubt? - Isn't Special Marriage Act, 1954
applicable to all Indians regardless of religion?
But there are some conditions and clauses.
I know. They must not be married at the time.
The man should be over 21 and the girl over 18.
They must the submit then forms to the registrar. - Father.
No, the son..
The drum broke.
Then the marriage notice will be posted on the notice board.
They can marry one month after that.
Don't you need three witnesses? - Yes..
I take you to be my lawfully wedded wife.
I take you to be my lawfully wedded husband.
Then the marriage is legal, right? - Yes.
I, Kukku, would like to marry you, Narayanankutty.
I have the signed on the prescribed form.
If you love me, you can sign this form.
Else, you can shred it.
"I live on this side of the bank."
"But my heart rests on the other side of the bank."
Oh, no!
Greetings, sir. - Greetings.
We are happy that you came.
Isn't she your wife? - Yes.
These are my wives, Pournami and Amavasi.
This is Amavasi's sister's marriage.
I have not shredded the form that you gave me.
Did you sign it? - Yes.
Really? - Yes.
What is this? - What is this?
Behave yourself.
Who is that?
Go on.
What is it? - Nothing.
What were you doing on the swing? - I slipped and fell
onto the swing, and it started swinging by itself.
Is that so?
What is this?
You have to have lunch before you leave.
Hey..
What is it? - This.
What for?
Hey, is the food ready?
What is this? - I did it by mistake. Food is ready.
So after signing it, you will display it on the notice board.
After that, the notice is valid for 30 days. Isn't it?
We should know the formalities, shouldn't we?
Sign here.
All the best! - Okay.
Wish you a happy and prosperous married life. - After the notice..
Give them the garland. - Okay.. - Sir.. - Move aside..
It's here. - Move aside. - Hold it.
Hold it!
Go ahead. You must do it first.
Now, shall we leave? - Okay.
Okay, come on.
Give me those garlands.
Hurry up.
It's itchy. Where the hell did he get it from?
Put it there! - Hey! I want to tell you something.
What is it? - Let's go there!
Don't push me. - Don't break it.
Narayanankutty, I am ready. Let's go.
Where to? - Yeah, right!
I am coming with you. Come.
What nonsense are you saying?
Narayanankutty. - It's impossible.
What? What should I do then?
If you go out, take a left and go straight through the main road
you'll reach Devaswom Board Junction. You must take a right
and go to the third house on the left after Christ Nagar School.
That's my home. - Yes, go home.
No way. If dad comes to know of it, he'll kill me.
I'll come with you..
I can't go back home.
How is it possible, Kukku? We aren't legally married yet.
We just have given a notice for it.
We need another 30 days to receive our marriage certificate.
Until then, we are not legally married.
This is the Special Marriage Act, 1954.
Okay? - That's your version.
I will say that I am married to Narayanankutty.
From today, I am Mrs. Narayanankutty.
You are a coward. Are you afraid of violating a silly legal formality?
Why should I be afraid?
We should obey the rules. That's the duty of a citizen.
Okay. - We should not take anything lightly.
You may go, Kukku. It's just a matter of 30 days. That's a month.
See you! Bye..
Hey!
Are you DGP Kurian's.. - You might think that she is his daughter.
It's natural. Because constable Krishnan Nair's nephew got married
to the niece of the wife of the one who got married at Alappuzha
and then they settled in Thalayolaparambu. - Okay..
Hello. - Why didn't you ring me?
You should call me first. - That's not right.
You should call me. - Okay, I did.
I heard it. - Even I heard it.
But that's not enough. I want to see you.
Me too. - Shall I come there now?
Okay.
Wish you a happy and prosperous first night.
Hey! Beware!
Unlawful first night!
Start camera! Action!
Hey! - Oh!
Yes? - Go to bed.
Enough with your videography!
Isn't today the first day of this month? - Yes.
I've to attend a marriage tomorrow. Remind me! - Goodnight, dear.
Goodnight.
Goodnight, Sister. - Goodnight.
They have gone. Come!
What is it? - Shoot!
What is it for? - I need it. Do you know why?
You declare that you have never violated any rule
from your childhood till date.
And now, during midnight
you came to my home secretly.
So I need this evidence.
I need evidence with me to prove that Vakkalathu Narayanankutty
has violated the law at least once.
Is it to blackmail me? - No, but to e-mail it.
To whom? - To all the couples in the world.
No.. You have to wait for a month.
That's the rule. Lawful relationship. - You!
Hey!
"The wedding bells are ringing."
"The winter is here."
"My heart is singing a tune of joy."
"The wedding bells are ringing. The winter is here."
"My heart is singing a tune of joy."
"The wedding bells are ringing. The winter is here."
"My heart is singing a tune of joy."
"In this dusk drenched in the crimson rays of the setting sun.."
"In a hut weaved with leaves.."
"The moonlight shall decorate the stage."
"The moonlight shall decorate the stage"
"and let's make it a memorable evening."
"The wedding bells are ringing. The winter is here."
"My heart is singing a tune of joy."
"In this dusk drenched in the crimson rays of the setting sun.."
"In a hut weaved with leaves.."
"Lamps illuminated the eve"
"and this shall be the dawn of a new life for us."
"Wearing pretty clothes and earrings"
"I wait impatiently to be yours forever."
"You look like an enchanting celestial nymph."
"You are my better half, dear."
"You will be my girl forever."
"The wedding bells are ringing. The winter is here."
"My heart is singing a tune of joy."
"In this dusk drenched in the crimson rays of the setting sun.."
"In a hut weaved with leaves.."
"This divine night casts a spell"
"with the charm of your magical moves."
"This divine night casts a spell"
"with the charm of your magical moves."
"Like the melody from a divine Veena"
"my heart is beating for you."
"You are like a colourful portrait"
"that rejuvenates my life."
"You are like a colourful portrait that rejuvenates my life."
"I am the tune of your life."
"I am your girl forever."
What happened?
It's true, sir. The information you got is correct.
There is a notice on the registrar office's board.
The groom is Narayanankutty and the bride is Kukku Kurian.
Today is the 18th day.
There are 12 days left to get a lawful marriage certificate.
'Mortuary.'
Mathew.
We have to make arrangements for a post-mortem. - Post-mortem?
Why, Narayanankutty? He died of a heart attack.
No. We need a post-mortem.
A post-mortem is done to find the cause if there is any doubt.
Yes. The death was at a hotel room in Ernakulam.
They found out when they forced the door to open in the morning.
I have to know what he ate the previous night.
How can we be sure that it was a heart attack?
Anyone would doubt it.
We have to be sure, Mathew.
We have to do the post-mortem.
Everything should be done according to the law.
You have to slice that body open
and tell the people that his death wasn't natural, right?
Am I right? You can.
You and your law!
Will our father come back even if we do that, Brother?
I won't, Mother. I won't.
I won't.
Hey! Enough! That's enough, Narayanankutty.
What is this? Don't drink it like this.
Yes. I know. I know it well.
My father used to drink.
I am drinking today to give salvation to my father's soul.
It's not for me.
Okay. Enough. Get up. - Hey! I am okay.
I am good. I am all right.
I know. Consumption of alcohol is injurious to health.
Drinking liquor is bad for you.
Statutory warning.
It's a statutory regulation.
Yes. It's not much of a law. It's just a warning.
Warning. Warning.
Hey! There is no law against drinking.
I have never broken the law intentionally.
Law? What is law, Narayanankutty?
The only law in life is love.
You are not alive if you haven't loved.
Narayanankutty, you are only human.
Do you know something, Narayanankutty? - What?
Most of the people around us are just ghosts.
He is messing with my family now.
Just give me the nod, sir.
I will destroy that guy for messing with your family.
Yes. Of course, you will!
Don't get yourself fired.
His weapon is the law. He is fighting with that.
We can stab him with that same weapon, sir.
Make it clear.
I have got a complaint.
A complaint from a 13-year-old girl who was raped by 33 persons.
So what? Tell us.
The fourth suspect is one Mr. Narayananpotty.
We can change the 'Potty' to 'Kutty.'
If we change 'Potty' to 'Kutty'
it will be Narayanankutty.
Damn! You are not as stupid as I thought.
Would that work, Kurup? - Of course.
If he is accused of rape
no women will marry him, let alone your daughter.
I am sure.
Wait.
What if she denies it in the identification parade?
Don't think too much, sir.
No matter how many criminals escape
no innocent should be punished.
Let him escape.
As he is innocent, the court shouldn't punish Narayanankutty.
Hey! What the hell are you saying?
What is the point if the court doesn't punish him?
The people will give him a bigger punishment.
His image, respect and pride..
If there is a news
that Vakkalathu Narayanankutty was accused of rape
he will lose his name among the people.
This is the experience if you are accused of a crime.
Even if the court says that he is innocent
once the public says that he is guilty
there are no further appeals, sir.
Okay, Chandran. Change the name.
His fate depends on what you write.
Change 'Potty' to 'Kutty.'
Go on! - Leave my son alone!
No!
Sir! - Don't point your finger at me!
Aren't you a gentleman! Until darkness falls!
You took your mask off at last. - Please, sir.
Move, woman!
Don't touch her! - You are a criminal!
Tell that to her.
She was an underage kid. - Sir, listen to me! - Move!
You! - Don't you dare!
Come here! - Oh, no!
Sir!
Come on! - Sir, I.. - How dare you! - Sir!
You and your law!
Get up! - Sir, please. Let me..
How dare you!
Go on! - Brother!
I'll break your back!
Sir, please. Do you have a warrant? - Warrant?
Not only the warrant, but a jail cell is ready for you.
Take his photo! Don't you need a photo?
Don't you want a photo? - I do, sir! - Take a close-up!
Come on! Yes!
Go on!
You have been bothering me for a long time.
I will teach you a lesson.
Vakkalathu Narayanankutty is a bachelor.
She was an innocent girl. That's all.
He is accused of rape.
The sweet criminal acts of Vakkalathu Narayanankutty.
You can turn it into a movie.
'Vakkalathu Narayanankutty arrested.'
'Narayanankutty is the fourth suspect in Pothinachira rape case.'
'Nineteen suspects of the Pothinachira rape case'
'that left Keralites dumbfounded, were arrested.'
'Among the accused are Vakkalathu Narayanankutty'
'Prof. Christy Sebastian, Dr. Chinnaswamy'
'and Advocate Sathyanadh.'
'Famous for frequently filing public interest litigations'
'Vakkalathu Narayanankutty was arrested for rape by the police.'
You!
Oh, no! What is this? - Move!
It doesn't matter if you don't believe it.
Your belief isn't going to help you.
Everyone believes it now.
You! The newspapers don't need truth. They need sensational news.
They have done it wonderfully. - Dad, you are so cruel!
Yes. Cruelty. But I am not cruel as you!
What did you do?
You got married without my knowledge.
That wasn't just cruel.
You had betrayed your own father. Idiot!
Mom, it's because I love.. - Don't do it.
You will only do what I want from now on.
Dad, Narayanankutty would never hurt anyone!
Let him prove it. Let him prove it in court.
He used the law as a weapon. It's over his own head now.
I control his fate now. - Dad! - Move!
I will kill you!
Who told you that he is guilty?
That's how the case is charged. A public prosecutor proves that.
I don't want that responsibility, Mr. Iyer.
Narayanankutty is innocent.
I have told you already. It's not your job to decide.
That's the job of the judge. - Please!
Don't be emotional.
Suppose the accused is proven guilty in a murder case.
Will anyone say that his lawyer was in on the murder?
Do justice to your profession.
I understand what you are saying, Mr. Iyer. - Okay.
But my conscience.. - Conscience?
He should have that too.
If you think that he has the sincerity, love and trust
that you have towards him, you are mistaken.
And it has to be rectified.
We must rectify our mistakes.
If he were a true friend, why did he hide his marriage from you?
Maybe for a surprise.
Narayanankutty's marriage? - Yes, his marriage.
In compliance with Special Marriage Act, 1954.
When was it? - Clear your head and mind.
You may ask Kukku.
Kukku Kurian?
Yes.
Once the notice period is over, she will be Kukku Narayanankutty.
What is your name?
Narayanankutty.
Are you the one who is known as Vakkalathu Narayanankutty?
Yes.
When you were accused under IPC 366A and 367
for committing crimes, you denied it, didn't you?
Yes, I did.
Do you know what IPC 366A is? - Yes, I do.
What is it? - It is a law against using a girl
below the age of 18, for sexual activities or trafficking.
How many cases have you filed so far
Mr. Vakkalathu Narayanankutty? - Fifty-three.
If I say that all those cases were filed just to cover up
your dirty work, will you deny it? - Yes, I will.
Do you hate kids? - No.
Do you love kids? - Yes.
How do you express your love towards kids?
I didn't understand the question.
To express your love, do you kiss a child, caress them, hug them
or do all the three together?
That depends on the kids' age and my relationship with that kid.
What did you mean by that?
Otherwise, let me put it this way.
Is a five-year-old a kid before your eyes?
Yes. - How about a 13-year-old girl?
She is a kid too.
How would you express your love to a 13-year-old girl?
In what way would you express your love?
I can't answer such questions, Your Honour.
Isn't it true that you had raped the girl who filed the complaint?
No.
How old was she? - I don't know. I haven't seen her.
You were drunk that night.
Please, Mathew..
That means you were in your senses after drinking.
I have only drunk once in my life.
That means you were in your senses when you raped her.
It is a false accusation, Mathew.
Did you know that girl before? - No.
Did she have a grudge against you? - I don't know.
There is no reason for a 13-year-old girl
to accuse you of such dirty acts.
Is there any? - No.
That means, her testimony is true.
No..
Are you going home?
Mother and sister would be home.
Let us go to my office.
Someone has framed you, Narayanankutty.
Your mother and sister would understand.
I know.
Even Mathew..
Your mother had begged him to get you a bail.
He is supposed to argue against the accused.
His job is more important for him.
He is ungrateful!
He has his head up high because of Mr. Iyer.
It is okay.
You came to bail me out.
I will never forget this favour..
Don't try and measure love, Narayanankutty.
No one has invented a device to read that yet.
Suspend Narayanankutty.
Suspend that criminal.. - I don't have any problem
with you working here.
But.. - What is that supposed to mean?
I am not going to argue with you.
Won't it be good to take a leave until this case is solved?
Well.. - Suspend Narayanankutty.
Suspend Narayanankutty.
Isolate that criminal. - Isolate that criminal.
Apprehend that criminal. - Apprehend that criminal.
Suspend Narayanankutty. - Suspend Narayanankutty.
Long live the revolution! - Long live the revolution!
Suspend Narayanankutty. - Suspend Narayanankutty.
Long live the revolution! - Long live the revolution!
Suspend Narayanankutty. - Suspend Narayanankutty.
Long live the revolution! - Long live the revolution!
Apprehend that criminal. - Apprehend that criminal.
Suspend Narayanankutty. - Suspend Narayanankutty.
I considered you to be my own son.
You ruthless devil!
How could you do such a thing?
You are a ruthless vulture!
Clear off from here with your family.
I don't want a son like you.
Your mother..
I have a small house.
We can live there..
Don't..
Excuse me.
Hello.
Okay.
When?
Okay, I will call you.
Okay, bye.
Hey!
Yes. Who is it?
What is it, Narayanankutty?
He will tell you everything.
The real story.
Tell him.
I will tell you everything.
I was attacked in the dark, while I was on my way back
from the police club, after dinner.
If my calculations are right, there were about eight people.
Narayanankutty was with them too.
They asked me to say
that Narayanankutty was falsely accused
in that case.
They threatened to kill me if I didn't heed to their demands.
When I told them that I couldn't do it
they beat me up badly
with their machetes and bicycle chains.
You may proceed.
The honourable court knows
that Narayanankutty had beaten up the S. I.
and threatened to kill him if he didn't take his name off the case.
Mathew.. - S.I. Chandran is in the hospital.
His criminal instincts have come to light
by the act that he has performed.
We have filed another case against him for thrashing a policeman.
According to IPC 326.
For how long have you been the receptionist at Starlight Hotel?
Around five years.
Were you on duty that day? - Yes.
Was he alone when he booked it?
There were two men and a girl with them.
Do you know Narayanankutty? - Yes, I do.
He is my colleague.
Why did you go to that hotel on the day of the crime?
My friend and I were having food in a restaurant there.
At 12 o'clock in the night? - Yes.
Was Narayanankutty there? - Yes.
Why didn't you talk to your colleague even after seeing him?
He was highly intoxicated.
Also a minor was..
Aren't you the leader of the union, Mr. Shankar? - Yes.
Were you with Mr. Alavi that night? - Yes.
Where were you? - At Starlight Hotel.
That's all, Your Honour.
Mathew.
I hope you realise that you're an accused in this case. - I do.
Who all were with you that night?
Mohammed Khan and Vakkalathu Narayanankutty.
Weren't you afraid being with Vakkalathu Narayanankutty? - No.
I had the confidence that we'd never get caught.
Were you intoxicated that day? - Yes.
What about Mr. Narayanankutty? - He was as well.
At what time did the incident happen? - After midnight.
Why do you remember it so well?
We went together to Starlight Hotel after a movie.
Had you gone to a movie? - Yes.
Which movie was it? - 'Titanic.'
Was there a rush that day? - Yes.
Why?
It was the first day of that movie.
Do you mean the 31st of January? - Yes.
Mathew.
How dare you!
You need to leave, Narayanankutty. Please go!
Mathew. Please listen to what I have to say.
I'm not interested!
You may explain it in the court!
Get lost!
Mathew.. - Advocate Mathew.
The advocate who's trying to get you punished.
I'd later put my papers down.
Forever! I hate this profession!
It was Vakkalathu Narayanankutty
who got me here to this position.
That is the only reason.
M-Mathew.. - Get lost.
I'd have to call the police.
Please listen to me. - Get lost!
Are you trying to scare me?
That's just great. I appreciate this change.
However, nothing has changed about me.
I'm still the same man who believes in the law.
Oh, yes you are!
How could you rape..
Mathew, please don't.
On the day the crime is allegedly committed
Kukku and my.. - Marriage.
It was still a legal affair though nobody was aware of it.
As per the Special Marriage Act of 1954.
Mathew, I was with Kukku at her place.
Do you mean to say that you were with her after 10 p.m.?
Alibi! Of course, it'd be easy
to say that you were at some other place at the time of the crime.
Quite interesting. Cooked up story.
Vakkalathu Narayanankutty doesn't need help
to find loopholes in the case. You may proceed.
Mathew, I need your help.
Really? - Only you can help me.
Evidence that I was with Kukku.. - What evidence do we have?
Mathew, there is evidence.
Kukku has the required evidence.
A video cassette that proves
that I was with her.
Yes.
Chandran.
Okay.
Mathew, I shall leave.
It was not to save me
that I came here to speak to you.
And not to defeat you either.
No innocent should be punished.
I believe in that.
I also believe that you'd help me prove my innocence.
Won't you help me, Mathew?
Narayanankutty. Kukku..
What happened to Kukku?
Don't let them know that it was a suicide attempt.
Be careful of the media.
Okay. Hospital records say it was food poisoning. - Excuse me, sir?
Don't get down, Narayanankutty.
Mathew, that's my.. - No. Please.
If anyone spots you here
and if they identify you, it'll be a mess.
They will make a scene.
Stay here. - My mind is not letting me stay.
We can't predict
how they'd react.
You must understand that.
Let me see what the situation is.
It's true. I've understood everything.
No one looks at me the same anymore.
I'm nothing more than an animal in their sight.
A beast who raped a 13-year-old.
A pervert.
A ruthless man.
How is Kukku? - She's under observation.
She is not stable yet.
'Illegal.'
Here is the evidence to prove your innocence.
Forget it, Mathew.
I don't want to prove my innocence if she doesn't survive.
I don't want to prove it in front of anyone.
You have understood me, and so has Raghu.
That's enough.
Narayanankutty.
Where is Narayanankutty?
Evidence is what must be presented here.
I have provided the evidence to prove my innocence.
I request the court to let me provide the evidence
and interrogate the actual culprits in this case.
Yes, proceed. - Thank you, Your Honour.
Mr. G. S Shenai.
The City Branch manager of Canara Bank, Trivandrum. - Yes.
Doesn't Professor Narayananpotty hold an account in your bank?
Yes. - Didn't he withdraw Rs. 20 lakhs of fixed deposit
from his account before the maturity period?
He did. - Please note this point, Your Honour.
Kurian Kulappurayil.
Aren't these the copies of your bank account statements?
Yes.
In order to secure your private interests, didn't you accept
Rs. 20 lakhs from Narayananpotty saying that you'd keep him off
the case while I was being blamed for it?
No.
It seems like the notes that he withdrew from the bank
and the notes you used to buy the necklace were the same.
I mean the same numbers.
Document number six.
This is the bill.
Your Honour, the necklace was bought with my own money. - Okay.
If that is true
are you saying that you presented fake notes? - No..
No. - That's all, Your Honour.
Don't you threaten Mr. Narayananpotty often
for money? I mean, blackmail?
No. - We have witnesses.
I deny.
Aren't you Professor Narayananpotty? - Yes.
Why did you withdraw lakhs
of money from the bank? - For my personal use.
I was asking the reason behind it. - Well..
I know. You are absent-minded, Professor.
I will help you remember it.
You had a fixed deposit of Rs. 20 lakhs.
That was the fare you had to pay the DGP, Mr. Kurian
to let you off the hook.
And those Rs. 3 Lakhs withdrawn in between
was to grease the palm of the ex-minister.
If I say that in the rape case for which you were
the investigating officer, my name was added to the list
with your knowledge, what would you say?
I will deny it.
Tell us what was changed in the testimony
given by the rape victim.
The name of the fourth suspect
was changed to Narayanankutty.
Your Honour, document number two.
The report from the forensic department.
Both have the same handwriting.
It is that of S. I Chandran.
Aren't these the property documents that were given to you? - Yes.
This is under the name of D.G.P Kurian's father.
This was your reward for the false testimonies against me.
Document number four.
You were delivering a speech at the union meeting
at Putharikandam Ground on the day you claim
to have spotted me. - I.. - These are the evidences.
With your photograph on it. Isn't that true?
On that day.. - There are many witnesses to it.
The court gives a verdict
based on the evidence submitted.
By bringing these culprits to light
we have proved the fact that truth can't be hidden forever.
The court must punish the culprits.
These days, the corrupt and the cruel escape
without getting punished for their deeds.
Our judiciary says that even though the wrongdoers
get away, an innocent must never get punished.
The number of criminals is increasing day by day.
In a democratic country like India
the common man must never lose his faith in the judiciary.
They must never doubt the rule of law.
These criminals are trying to deceive the common man.
They are mocking the law.
The court means nothing to them.
They're messing with the lives of the innocent.
They are the masters of this shrewd game.
Their scornful ways of messing with the law must end here.
I sincerely request the court to pass the verdict on this case.
That's all, Your Honour.
May justice triumph! - May justice triumph!
Respect the law! - Respect the law!
Arrest the guilty! - Arrest the guilty!
Isolate the guilty!
- Stand against corruption!
Stand against corruption!
Tear the mask of Kurian!
Release the innocent! - Release the innocent!
Respect the law! - Respect the law!
Let the law prevail..
