Where are you going so early?
Are you going home?
No, I am going somewhere else.
What do you mean?
Your mind is a chamber of secrets.
Who can decode it?
I shall come back and tell you everything.
I will return late today.
No one knows where she goes or comes from.
Is this a retreat to come and go at will?
Why can't these women behave well?
They are lecturers in college.
Students learn manners from them.
"You dwell in my memories"
"lit by eternal sunshine"
Can I get some flowers anywhere? - There's a temple nearby. - "with"
You will get them there. - "teary flowers in your eyes."
"You dwell in my memories"
"lit by eternal sunshine" - I need some flowers.
You mean garland? - " with teary flowers" - No.
I need a handful of flowers. - "in your eyes."
How much does it cost? - Rs. 40.
"You treasured love like pure gold"
"and took the tears in your stride."
"You treasured love like pure gold"
"and took the tears" - Where to now?
"in your stride." - To the graveyard.
"Did you, with your gratified life"
"await to"
"hear something"
"from the vastness of this grave."
"Is there a heart beat to be heard there?"
"You dwell in my memories"
"lit by eternal sunshine"
"with teary flowers in your eyes."
"The body was strewn into pieces"
"by death. Would the heart beat be heard again?"
"The body was strewn into pieces"
"by death. Would the heart beat be heard again?"
"The martyr was stabbed by the enemy"
"and out of their blood rose the flowers."
"You dwell in my memories"
"lit by eternal sunshine"
"with teary flowers in your eyes."
"Who are you" - Pavi!
"the one who bowed in front of the grave"
"like the psalm."
'ENTE HRIDAYATHINTE UDAMA'
"like a psalm of misery."
"You dwell in my memories"
"lit by eternal sunshine"
"with teary flowers in your eyes."
Who are you? - Mr. Narayanan Pillai sent me.
Is there a house being given for rent?
What is your name? - Bahuleyan.
Where do you work?
I am a clerk at the Taluk office.
We had thought that we would never give that house for rent again.
That's when Mr. Narayanan Pillai interfered.
Is someone else with you? - Yes.
He's a college lecturer. He'll come in the evening.
We don't depend on the rent. - Okay.
Mr. Narayana Pillai had told me.
I must get the rent on the first of every month without fail.
Did you get me? - Yes.
The house is furnished well. You have a kitchen too. - Fine.
The rent includes those facilities as well.
Did you understand? - Yes.
Do not damage anything in the house. - Okay.
You must keep the house premises clean. - Okay.
Women should not be seen anywhere near the house.
Which means that you're not allowed to even keep a female servant.
Did you follow my words? - Yes.
Then, the house rent would increase according to the tax.
You must not argue afterwards. - No.
However, you must vacate the house as and when I ask you to. - Okay.
I did not tell you the most important thing.
No one is allowed to do any antics here.
I will break your bones if I notice anything of the sort.
Ammukutty, get the keys.
Your face looks like a thief.
Hey. - What are you saying?
I am the eldest son from an honest Nair family.
This is one room. - Okay.
This is another. - Okay.
You have another room over there, a dining hall and a kitchen.
Remember what I said earlier. - Yes.
Do you know about me? - Yes.
What do you know? - It is like..
Some people told me. - What did they tell?
No. They told me to be wary of you. - Good.
That is good. Repeat your name! - Bahuleyan.
Tell my conditions to your roommates as well. - Okay.
Then, do not tell me that you did not know about it. - Okay.
What about your food?
We will arrange that from the hotel for the time being.
Fine!
Well-furnished house!
People stay here for rent with one or two people initially.
After some days, more join them one by one.
Finally, the whole house would be in a mess.
We find it difficult to set everything right again.
I think that the man who came today is a fraud. - Stop it.
I have seen someone like him in some movie.
To be honest, I felt like laughing.
You are good at always teasing other people. - Really! Ouch!
Oh, the next person is here.
I wonder what kind of character he is! - Hey.
Mr. Rajeevan, this is your room.
Listen to me before you settle. There are certain rules here.
Rules? - Yes.
Firstly, you shouldn't look at that home. - Why?
It's the owner's home.
He has two daughters. - So what?
My friend, their father is a police inspector.
Have you heard of Karkodakam Shivashankaran Nair?
His mere presence creates trouble, let alone a tiff.
Okay. - There are more rules.
The house and its neighbourhood must be kept clean.
Do not hammer nails on the walls.
Didn't you get any other house for rent?
Is this the crystal palace of the Virgin islands?
There's something that you don't understand.
What? - It's hard for bachelors to get a room on rent.
We even got this house on a recommendation.
Just wait.
I haven't promised anyone that I would live like a refugee.
My likes and dislikes are my right. Let us look for another house.
Wait. Give some time for everything.
Hey.
Did you call me? - Yes, come here.
Don't you have to go to your office today? - Yes, I do.
Then why are you roaming here? - The bus..
Ask your friend, the college lecturer
to come and meet me. - Okay.
Let's go.
Come upstairs. I am here.
I've been waiting for you for a long time.
I must get relieved from duty to come here.
I managed to sneak out.
You give vague excuses when we get together.
Anything to drink? - Nothing.
Why did you want to see me urgently?
I felt like seeing you. - That is good.
Hello.
Yes, I am Gomathy. Who are you?
He is Purushothaman Kurup, our leader.
Will he come here?
I do not need any excuses.
You must meet the selection board chairman and get my work done.
Or use the minister.
To hell with the rules! Does everything happen as per the rules?
If you cannot help me in such a trivial matter
then what is the use of being a leader?
Yes, good. Okay, yes.
The leader is making excuses when I asked for his help.
He might have taken money from someone else.
I know Purushothaman Kurup very well.
He does not hesitate to do anything.
But when he comes to me
he becomes meek.
We must not forget. He has helped me a lot.
I know that. I saw him for the first time here, right?.
Don't you remember that night?
I had rescued him from the stone pelting crowd.
Sister, what is it?
Sister, what happened?
Your face looks pale.
No. Nothing. - That is a lie.
Why are you lying to me?
I know for sure that you are sad about something.
But you are not telling me.
I was thinking about our family.
We are a happy family from an outsider's point of view.
We look content and fortunate to all.
But does love and affection exist here in reality?
Isn't our father just pretending to care for his family?
He does not bother about anything but himself.
Mother conceals
her sorrow inside as if she has no problems.
Does she love her life?
All of us seem to be living in our respective hideouts.
Do not worry. It might be just a passing thought.
What a guy!
You had asked me
not to look at that house
because that man was so strict.
Now, you are..
Was it my mistake to be born as a lover of beauty? - Never.
Did you make tea? - No.
Do you know how to make tea?
No, I don't. - This isn't practical.
How long can we eat hotel food?
Why not keep someone for our household chores?
Yes, it is a good idea.
But only males can be hired. Females are not allowed here.
Don't you know? - Ask him to get lost.
The house owner wanted to meet you. - Me? - Yes.
What for? - I didn't ask. He might just want to get acquainted.
Why should I meet him?
Let him come here.
Yes. But.. - What?
Do not get angry.
A house owner has the right to meet his tenants.
What do we lose if we meet him?
I do not like it. I am not his caretaker to go and meet him.
Leave it. Let us try to make some tea in the kitchen.
Let's just try. - Fine. - Come.
Come with me.
Greetings. - Okay, is it you?
What is your name? - Rajeevan.
How long have you been working in the college?
Around three to four years. - Okay.
How did you get the job? By influence or bribe?
Do not worry. Does anything work without them nowadays?
It is like an auction. Pure business.
My daughter got the first rank in M.A. That did not fetch her a job.
We must spend money if we need a job.
Who does not know about this?
Where is your house? - At Vaikom.
I had been posted there before.
I do know that place a bit.
Where do you live there?
Vadakkenada, at Maliyakkal. - Where at Maliyakkal?
Do you know Karunakaran Nair, the deputy collector over there?
Yes. He is my father. - Is that so?
What is your father doing? How is his health?
His health is fine. He has a disciplined life.
He is into social service now.
I know that he is not a person who would sit idle.
We were quite friendly then.
I do not know if he remembers me.
Ammukutty..
Rajeevan, please sit. - No, thanks. I'll stand here.
Why are you standing? Sit there.
Anyway, It was my luck that I felt like meeting you.
Ammukutty, do you know him?
Yes, I know. He is Bahuleyan's friend.
No, not that.
He is the son of my acquaintance.
He is the son of Karunakaran Nair, the Vaikom deputy collector. - Oh.
She is Uma, my daughter.
Didn't I tell you? She is worried about not getting a job.
There seems to be a lot of clothes for you to wash.
Will you finish it by today? - I stack it for free days.
They get stacked so much that they do not fit in the basket.
Leave that. Did you see the owner? - Yes.
Did he say anything rude? - No.
In fact, they greeted me very well.
That is a lie. - Okay.
Did you see the girls there? - Of course.
They are like that. They offer me something or the other too.
When I parted, they asked me to revisit them.
Do not go often. That man would suspect us. He is a hot-head!
We must not lose our dignity.
Sir.
Sir..
Who are you? I don't recognise you.
I am Appukuttan.
Why are you doing here? - What else can I do?
I did not see anyone here.
If you keep the door open and sit
somewhere else, thieves would get in.
The times are such. - Who are you?
What is the matter? - Didn't you recognize me?
I am Appukuttan.
I heard that there is a need of a cook here.
Who are you?
I'll tell you later, okay? - Okay, there's no hurry.
Isn't there anyone else here? - Bahuleyan! - Yes?
Someone's here. Come and meet him.
I think you're a funny guy. - No, I am not.
Who is he? - He has come to join as a cook.
Okay. What is your name? - I am Appukuttan.
Where's your house? - It's a bit far from here. - Okay.
Do you know to cook? - Just try me out.
Have you worked elsewhere before?
I have contested elections at the corporation level.
I lost. - Why? - I did not get enough votes. - Oh!
I do not think this will work. - Let's try.
Make some tea. Let me see. - It will be superb.
Listen.
Make sure you speak properly.
I will throw you out the moment I feel your words inappropriate.
The yield seems to be less.
Here comes the gossipmonger.
Shut up. He is an elderly man. You must respect him.
Big deal!
Sit.
Where is Shivashankaran? - He is not here.
He is not seen even on holiday.
Where does he go? - I do not know.
I have no idea.
You are not able enough to keep him under control.
Have you heard about Judge Velupillai?
He is famous for his control over the court.
He's that powerful!
But, he is meek in front
of his wife Meenakshi.
Smart women should be like that.
It is my fate.
I have heard certain things about him.
Men do lose their way occasionally.
But this has gone too far.
I am worried for my daughters. - Leave it.
You need not take it seriously.
I will advise him nicely.
If I complain about something, it will cause problems at home.
I feel it is better to bear it.
Leave it.
I feel lethargic because I did not drink tea.
This is the problem when I do not drink tea at intervals.
Why do you have to talk to him? Let's keep our issues to ourselves.
He gossips to fill his stomach.
That is why he comes often.
Do not say so, just because he's a poor man.
Mother does not listen to us. - Correct.
Father does not like seeing him at all.
It is better not to discuss that.
All are aware of your father's likes and dislikes.
Why did he die at this time? - What happened?
I have been searching him for a long time. Damn!
What is the matter, Shivashankaran?
I lost a chance to get a medal when he died.
Do you only have this to talk about? - What else?
I have only two more years to retire.
I will not get another chance like this.
He was considered as a fugitive.
Let that aside. I want to tell you something.
Ammukutty is worried about Uma's marriage.
I know to deal with that. Why do you talk nonsense?
Don't you have any other work?
If you ask so..
Crackers.
Uma.
Had you been to the temple? - Where else would I go?
I go there for some peace of mind.
Where are you going? - I was going to the library.
Which book is this?
Hesse's 'Narcissus and Goldmund'. It's an economics book.
I do not read much. This is just to pass the time.
I had read 'Siddhartha' by Hesse. I forgot everything.
Do you know who the listener of the river's silence was?
Was it Govinda or Siddhartha?
Not sure.
Do you have the habit of reading?
Otherwise, how would a jobless person like me pass my time?
I did not read this book.
But I have read someone's review about this book a while back.
I do not read regularly.
Four to five books in a year. That is more than enough.
What do you prefer reading? Stories or novels?
I like poems.
You can return it after you've finished reading it. - Okay.
Sir. - Who is it? Why do you disturb me?
Sir.
What? - Rajeevan is flirting with the girl from the next house.
Is that so? - Yes. - Damn!
Are you bent upon insulting us? - I don't understand.
Really? Why do you have to talk to that girl unnecessarily?
Didn't they say earlier that they do not like it?
Why can't you understand?
What's there to discuss so much?
Who is getting restless in your absence over there?
It was disgusting.. - Do you know something?
They were adamant that they would
not give the house for rent to bachelors.
What does that mean?
Why can't you understand that? Aren't you a lecturer?
You. - Stop it, mister. I'll do what I want.
You need not interfere with it. Who are you to command me?
Are you my boss? Do not cross the limits.
Rajeevan..
The astrologer told me that my planetary alignments
are not favourable.
Nothing will work.
My good advice would seem otherwise to people.
Rajeevan, I beg for your apology if I have hurt you.
Please forget it, my friend.
Aren't you people hungry? You may eat whenever you wish.
I am not like that. I must have food regularly.
You said that you loved poems.
Here. Read this book.
The poet is Pavithran, my friend.
He is not very famous. 'Lonely Dreams. Pavithran.'
I am not very interested in poems.
My interest lies in economics.
Pavithran is a born poet. God created him that way.
But he lost his way. He became a politician.
In my view, he's a failure.
I meant to say that it was a loss to poetry.
Uma.. - Bye. - Bye.
'The seven notes of music'
'gave wings to your lonely dreams.'
'Dreams with the bruised heart'
'flew higher and higher.'
'The dreams flew away singing a tune.'
'The bird fluttered its wings'
'bidding adieu to the summer.'
'The sparrows sang'
'swinging on the twig'
'that the spring is the broken dream'
'of the 'Kanni' month.'
'The birds of the dark appealed'
'the breeze to carry'
'the fragrance of the unseen flowers'
'like the traveller's song.'
'Isn't the beauty of the shore a false dream?'
'Who is this?'
Pavi.. what a surprise! - Oh!
When did you come? - It's been a while.
Your servant told me that you would be late.
So, there was no other way but to wait.
I was tired and dozed off. - I never expected your arrival.
I appear whenever you think that I am gone for good.
That is my style.
Bahuleyan, didn't I mention you about Pavithran?
A poet and revolutionary. He is the one!
He is Bahuleyan, my friend. We stay together. Come. Let's sit inside.
Come inside.
Sit down.
Doesn't he look like he's sad? But he is not. He is a firebrand.
He is a king who does what he pleases.
He was the assistant editor of 'Kerala Bhoomi.'
But he quarrelled there and resigned.
He said that he was not willing to sell himself.
He joined a party publication but could not stay there as well.
I was wondering as to where he had disappeared off to.
His poems in weeklies was an assurance that he was alive.
I had once come in search of you
to that weird house, you had stayed before.
That's when I got to know that you have quit from there.
You could have sent me a letter at least. Idiot!
You have never felt the need for such deeds even before.
To talk is easy.
You do not know about my life.
It was a consistent quest.
There were a lot of defeats and setbacks.
Can you imagine walking on the edge of a sword?
Death walk! You will not understand
because you cannot think beyond your own life.
So you are still a revolutionary.
I heard that you were ousted from the party.
I criticised the leader. We are not
supposed to talk. They would behead us.
I doubt if the party is turning into a religion nowadays.
I felt punished to stay
with leaders who are so foolish.
Yet..
Politics is always in the hands of politicians.
I do not like other people thinking on my behalf.
I had warned him earlier that politics would ruin him.
Have you stopped writing poetry? - Poetry!
I am feeling very hungry. Do you have anything to eat?
Appukuttan. Where is this guy?
Listen.
I came here to disturb you a bit.
I will be here for a while.
I would like to stay here if you don't mind.
I will not insist if you object.
No, that's okay. Let us adjust.
Shivashankaran Nair, you must not forget the past so easily.
I was responsible for your transfer here.
Otherwise, you would have been posted to that remote area.
Gratitude and memory are something that everyone must have.
I closed my eyes to many of your misdoings.
You have forgotten that.
That's why it's said that politicians lack the conscience.
You are saying as if police are a synonym of conscience.
Nonsense.
Do you remember the day when I saved you from Gomathy's house?
Otherwise, your honour would have bit the dust.
Damn!
Why do you keep account of every trivial issue?
We must let go of certain things. That is all I have to say.
But, you were..
Mr. Purushothaman Kurup, I cannot support
this no matter what you say.
I will lose my job.
There were some dwarfs among the killers of Abel
while some of them were huge.
They had two kinds of heads.
How would people with separate heads think in unison?
Yohannan, hadn't I told you
not to trouble me again and again.
Go away.
The eagle takes away the chicks from the shelter of the hen.
Does the eagle think that no one is watching it?
There is an eye watching everyone.
That eye is as big as the universe.
This is the only mistake that I did in my service.
He was the head of the so called
thinkers and revolutionaries.
I have seen him somewhere.
We had beaten him up on suspicion.
Police are quite brutal..
Only afterwards did we know that he was innocent.
The court freed him of all the charges.
Now he is half mad.
Is he that fellow?
Who is that new guy?
Let it be anyone. Come along.
Sir, have this curry. I followed the exact procedures.
Oh! So you are the master chef. Pavithran, be careful.
He is a crooked guy.
He said that he was in politics.
It is true.
It was a time when I had no better work to do.
There was no one to compete with me in matters
regarding collecting funds for the party.
Yes. Money and food.
That is how we learn politics.
It was no child's play. I was attacked a lot.
Once, the opposition bashed me up very badly.
I was totally bruised.
Then why did you become a cook?
You could've become an MLA or minister.
This beating is not enough for that.
I had kept the book aside a few days back.
I did not find time to give you.
You could have come and collected it.
There is someone else, right?
Who else? Okay, I understood.
He is my friend, Pavithran.
Pavithran? - Yes, Pavithran.
Don't you remember the poem, 'Lonely Dreams'?
But looking at him, no one can guess that he is a poet.
Don't go by his looks. He is a poet.
One would only praise their friend.
Today is your birthday. Why not call our tenants for lunch?
Don't you have any better work other than giving food to everyone?
They are our tenants, after all.
Do what you want.
I am ready. - You are always like that.
You are ever ready for any event.
Come on. Get up! We are ready already.
No, I do not wish to come.
Why are you saying so? - Why should I come?
We do not know each other.
This is his nature.
Hey, do you keep in touch with humans at all?
Get up. Come along!
Many happy returns of the day. - Oh.
Ammukutty, everyone is here.
Celebrating birthday at this age
seems stupid.
It is auspicious to visit the temple, eat food with dear
and near ones on the occasion of one's birthday.
There's no dearth of auspiciousness even otherwise.
He is Pavithran, my friend.
Okay, I heard about him.
We met once as well. Am I right?
Okay, do not delay anymore. Wash your hands now.
To hell with their strike. Making others suffer!
I came almost half way through when I saw the strike.
They held a strike in the middle of the road
under the sun. One would get burnt!
Are you done with lunch, Ammukutty? - No.
Oh!
Mother, what happened?
God!
Appukuttan..
He is not here. He has gone to the market. What's the matter?
My mother fell. No one is there to help us.
What happened?
I slipped while trying to get a vessel from above.
Oh!
We must take her to the doctor as she is in great pain.
I shall call the taxi. - Okay.
Give him the money.
The patient who fell down..
Are you okay now? - Yes. - Okay.
Give this medicine. - Yes. - And the injection at 7 p.m. - Yes.
It is okay. You need not worry.
Tell your father that she might have to stay
at the hospital for two more days. - Okay.
We just found out now. - Thank God she is safe.
What did the doctor say? - He said that it's not serious.
She has swelling on her knees.
The doctor has asked her to lie here for two more days.
Mother wants to go back home.
My daughter has to do everything. Pushpa has to go to college.
Their father has no leave either.
I have only revision classes today. I will stay back.
Mother, do not worry. I will take leave..
I can take leave for many days.
How do you feel? - The pain has eased.
Doctor wanted to meet you. - I met him already.
You need not worry or cry.
Wow, very tasty. I can serve this to the central committee.
Appukuttan..
Where are Rajeevan and Bahuleyan? - They have not yet come.
They are stationed at the hospital. Both of them sit there alternately.
If the mother gets this care, what if it was the daughter?
How's your mother now? - She was discharged. She is fine.
I read that book.
'Memories of a Guerrilla.' I liked it very much.
The warrior's adventures.
He held his life through the flames of death.
It is just like a detective novel.
I know that you like poems and literature.
Who gave you this false information?
I have an inner eye that reads other's minds.
Why don't you forgo politics and write poetry?
What did you say?
Do you have to ruin your life in politics?
Your friend had told me that you were a poet.
Is it?
I do not like politicians. They are frauds.
They would just speak of philosophies and ideals.
Their deeds are just the opposite.
There are thousands of parties and leaders
who pretend to shed tears for the poor.
Much of it is true.
Can you guess the dilemma of the good souls who
stay in the party, knowing everything?
These leaders never influenced me.
Human liberty can be achieved only through philosophy.
But, I don't fear that the present leaders would doom
the country's future.
What is your name? Doesn't love begin this way?
Talking and smiling would build our bond. I like you very much.
I am not trying to flatter you. Genuinely..
Is this your house? Okay. - What's your problem?
Shit.
Why are you here? - Nothing.
You need not question me.
We must vacate the tenants on some pretext.
What harm did they do?
They are paying the rent regularly.
They have not troubled us either.
They are very cordial with us. - I do not need any explanation.
Just listen to me.
Everyone seems good natured to you.
But I am not like that.
What is that fair guy's name?
Yes.. Bahuleyan.
He is a crook. - What did he do?
You need not know that. We cannot
just ask one person to vacate.
I wandered a lot to get this iron box repaired.
That was a great help.
Is it Bahuleyan? Good that you did not come earlier.
Did you do anything that my husband disliked? - Me?
He gets angry on trivial things.
Ma'am, I did not do anything purposely. Did he say something?
Yes, he asked you to vacate the house.
Search for a house somewhere.
When did you return from your tour?
Yesterday.
Your friends said that you had gone somewhere to revolt.
I was in this town with some friends.
Did you mean party members? - We have a group within the party.
The group is not the right word though.
Like-minded people together..
Yes. That is called a group.
Blaming the party and being a part of it. No wonder..
I am not doing it for power or any business.
There must be some people to incur a loss as well.
We may get confused
as to what is to be done and thought.
We might feel that all our efforts are unfruitful.
A step was taken with a dream for future in mind
in such a situation would sometimes
be the landmark in history.
People with dreams?
Who told you that revolutionists do not dream?
Dreams have value.
Have you heard Lenin's words that dreams are behind revolution?
I have something to say.
My friends have started publication.
This is a step towards a vision to change the world.
You must translate a book for the publication.
Me? What are you saying? I cannot do that.
I know you are not interested. - Pavi, it is not like that.
A small venture to change the mindset
of literature, art and politics.
An agitation against pomp and show.
Don't you have party publications for that?
Those publications are occupied by statements of leaders.
Politicians are wary of others thinking.
They wish to think on behalf of everyone.
So, your ideology is not that of politicians. - No.

I know that it's not good. It's fit to be torn into pieces.
Please sit.
I read it completely yesterday.
The translation is good. - Are you saying that to please me?
I had told you that I do not know this job.
I do not flatter people.
I would have told you directly if it was not good.
I thought not to reject the job. That is all.
Listen, do not punish me again this way.
A punishment?
Have you heard of adorning the society
with the weapon of ideas of good will?
We will understand that only when we live among people.
The society that lives in the clutches of cursed destiny.
They are scared to walk away from age old beliefs.
It is the duty of every responsible citizen
to lead them into bliss.
There are many amongst us
who have been the victims of protests.
At this rate, you would call me for guerrilla warfare.
Absolutely. Guerrilla warfare is actually a game of death.
We summon people who can only
stand by us until the end.
What is the secret that binds people even in death?
Love probably takes the form
of a speechless experience.
Here. Keep it with you.
Rajeevan, let me leave.
Bahuleyan, you took this house on rent
and brought me here.
And now.. Please tell me if I have hurt you in any way.
I shall back off. - It is not our issue.
It's that of the house owner.
I saw him in an embarrassing situation recently.
He will not find peace of mind until I am here.
He asked all of us to vacate.
The problem gets solved if I move out from here.
I am the hindrance for him.
Bahuleyan, if you go.. - So what?
Pavithran and Appukuttan are with you.
You are not an outsider here.
Okay, let me leave.
Uma..
Where is Uma? - Why?
Call her. - Uma..
Look at this letter.
Now, you need not worry about unemployment.
The principal has asked you to join tomorrow.
Give me some tea. I am on duty. I must go.
Uma, go to the staff room and meet everyone.
Okay.
Did Bahuleyan leave? - Yes, he went.
Good. I had thought of sending him out of the house.
Listen, Rajeevan. He is a crook.
Good that he felt like going away. - I am alone now.
Where is the other guy? What was his name?
Pavithran.
We are all here for you. Then why do you need others?
Let me go. - Okay.
What brings you here?
I was waiting for you. - Anything important?
I have been thinking of it for quite some time now.
I wanted to tell you as well.
I could not gather courage. I can't prolong it any further.
What is your view about life?
I have none in particular.
That is not true. I asked you seriously.
I am scared of questions. - But you cannot avoid them.
We constantly face questions in life.
Those that are posed by others and by ourselves.
I wish to share my dreams and desires with you.
How do I explain further?
I like you very much, Uma.
Sorry. Forgive me.
Two of my friends went away. Now, I am staying here alone..
Not just that. I have managed to find a house near my college.
What do I say? We never considered you as a tenant.
I will cherish your love and affection forever.
You must visit us occasionally.
I did not bid goodbye to your husband.
I shall tell him when he comes back.
Okay.
Hey, stop there.
Aren't you the cook? - Hey, you..
Get lost or I'll shout at you.
Did you feel inferior being called a cook?
Is it true that Bahuleyan vacated the house?
Yes, he moved.
Where did he go? - I have no idea.
There was a professor with him as well.
He, I and everyone else moved.
We locked the house and gave them the keys.
What else do you want to know?
So all of you moved from there? Now where are you going?
I am going to die.
That's good.
Good that you thought about it at least now. - Bloody old man.
Shut up! Arrogant fool. - Get lost. - What?
"The words I wished to tell you"
"was lost in the depths of infinity."
"The words I wished to tell you.."
"The words I wished to tell you"

"The words I wished to tell you.."

"akin to a red rose."
"Did you read the wordings of love hidden"
in its petals that never bloomed?"
"The words I wished to tell you"
"was lost in the depths of infinity."
"The words I wished to tell you.."
Shiva, I have something to tell you.
Shiva. - What is it?
I wanted to speak to you about Uma's marriage.
You waited for her to get a job until now.
Now, she has got a job by God's grace.
We must get her married at the earliest.
Everything must be done
at the right time in life. That is the right thing to do.
Did you get the intent of what I said?
I am thinking of everything.
Just thinking is not enough. What's her age now?
Narayanan Pillai, search for a good alliance. - Okay.
I have started to feel that it is better
to fulfil my responsibilities at the earliest.
I wanted our daughter to marry Rajeevan.
I had thought the same.
I know him too.
But his company is not good.
What is his friend's name? - Pavithran.
Yes, something like that.
I heard that he is in the other party.
What? He? - Yes.
Let that be. You need not worry.
I shall bring a better alliance
for your daughter.
Please have dinner. - Okay.
Let us not delay.
Uma, come with me. I shall drop you.
Please stop. I will get down here.
Aren't you going home? - No, I need to meet a friend.
Okay, we will meet tomorrow.
My God! I never thought that I would meet you again.
How is your new job? - Yes, okay.
My friend has organised a painting exhibition.
I thought of going there.
Uma, do you want to come along? - No.
Please come with me.
What would my painter friend think if we do not turn up?
Ultimately, are you planning for a revolution through painting?
Yes, painting is also a means of revolution.
Pavi, you could have told me before moving out.
I did not expect it from you.
My bond with the world is limited.
I wish to go away without bidding goodbye to anyone.
It is not good to take relationships beyond that.
I don't know if you'd believe me. I wanted to bid goodbye to you.
Then who stopped you? - No one.
I realised the pain of standing against my own mind.
If you don't mind, tell me in a way that I can understand.
Let us talk something else.
Where is Uma? Call her. - Uma?
Who was with you today at the church corner?
I met Pavithran on my way back from college.
He was our tenant. I just spoke to him.
Is that so? Do you even realize who he is?
No one knows when he would be behind bars.
I know Pavithran as a poet. - Really!
You must fear him more than a person holding a sword.
Do not think about that. Go.
I met Narayanan Pillai on the way.
He told me about a proposal. I think it is a good one.
They will come to see her within two days.
Tell her that as well.
Now that you like the girl, let's talk about other matters.
Let his close relatives come and see the girl.
Isn't that the norm? - That was long back.
Nowadays, no one follows those things.
But still..
I have told everything to Krishnan Pillai.
He also suggested that we must not
delay further if the boy and girl have agreed.
There's nothing more important than his words, right?
Do not hasten.
Let everyone come and see the girl.
Uma was not clear with her opinion.
She will accept my words.
We are lucky that everything got sorted this way.
That was the opinion of our astrologer.
What did she say? - Nothing.
Their astrologer already gave his consent.
But I'll be convinced only when Keshavan, the astrologer tells me.
Let me go and see him. - Ask Uma once before that.
Did you like him?
The groom's family is good. He is the only son of his parents.
He has a good job and good character as well.
He is good looking as well. It is hard to find such a proposal.
If he is that good, he will easily get another girl.
What did you say? Are you going to remain a spinster?
No. My decision is final in this house!
When they told me I had a visitor, I never thought it would be you.
I had told you that I would come.
You are a man of your word.
I agree. - Good.
If it had seemed that I had come
because I could no longer stay away from you
I would have lost my respect. - Keep quiet. - Why?
This is a college. A lecturer isn't supposed to stand and talk here.
Then come with me.
There are no restrictions beyond the college compound. - Now?
When else? I have come to meet you even though I was busy.
Okay. I'll inform the principal and come.
I wrote a poem after a long time.
A revolutionary's poem laced with words of love.
Have you heard of Che Guevara?
He had written love songs, even while he hid
in the Bolivian forests, courting death.
I have memorised almost all the poems
that you had given me earlier.
Once, I was about to tear them all up.
Then I forgot about it. I never expected
that I would find an admirer like you.
Why didn't you publish them? - That's not required.
You have read it. That is enough.
One admirer is not enough
for a poet. Let the whole world know about you.
What will you have?
I'll have a coffee.
Give us two cups of coffee. Make one strong.
Aren't you eating anything? - No.
Why? You said that you were very hungry.
Here, you must spend a minimum of Rs. 200
to fill my stomach. Am I right?
Give that amount to me. Come on!
This money would be enough for me to live happily for four days.
I do feel hesitant to borrow money
from my admirer.
I do not see you just as an admirer.
Hey! Come here.
What is on your mind?
Your freedom is not for you to cross the limits.
I did not understand. What did I do?
As if you know nothing!
Who is he?
Didn't you hear me? Who is he?
Pavithran. - Who the hell is he to you?
Listen, do not provoke me.
Give up any other plans you may have.
The party has asked me to work in Wayanad with the estate workers.
But I do not feel like leaving here and going there.
The party has given me this responsibility.
In fact, it is a challenge to me since I had dared
to question the leadership of the party.
When are you going? - By tonight's train.
Do you have to go today? - Yes.
I came here to bid you goodbye.
When will I meet you again?
Coming into someone's life unexpectedly
and going away without bidding goodbye.
This informality is my way of life.
I will come back. Goodbye for now.
I will not let her take a decision.
I must decide as soon as possible. - That's is my opinion as well.
Why are we elders here
if the youngsters decide everything?
Why can't she ask her daughter? - Why do you blame me?
Do you think I have not told her?
I cannot wait for her approval.
She has a younger sister. - Yes.
I must get her married as well. - Yes.
I have told her that as well.
What did she say? She asked us to get Pushpa married
without worrying about her.
I will not spare her. Is she the one to decide that?
Ammukutty, is that fair?
Children must have some sense before they speak.
To get a younger sister married, when an elder one is unmarried!
What would people say?
I will not let things continue this way.
I will keep her under my control.
Teacher, I searched for you everywhere. - Why?
Someone has come to meet you. - I will be there.
Look who is here.
You never expected me, right?
Why should I lie? I did not expect you.
Did you get tired of waiting?
No, I was adamant to meet you. So I did not mind waiting.
What brings you here? - There is important news.
My marriage is fixed. I have come to invite you.
Who is the girl? - A girl who likes me.
Her name is Jayashree. She is a doctor by profession.
My marriage is on the 9th of next month.
I came to invite you personally
to tell you about an important matter as well.
I met Pavithran occasionally.
He is a fighter with the right intent.
His life is never short of mishaps.
We cannot be sure of the destiny of his lonely revolution.
But, it is not a utopian principle as well.
He is someone whom we cannot afford to lose.
You must be his support. You are a part of his dreams.
Let me take your leave.
What is the reason for this sudden transfer?
There is no particular reason for it.
It is the will of the management.
Can your father do something to avoid this transfer?
Why? That is not required.
I feel as well that I must stay away for a while.
It sounds like you asked for this transfer.
Mother, why do you worry? I am not going very far.
Yes, that is my question. Your new place is quite close by.
Why stay at a hostel?
I do not want to travel on the train daily.
When will father return? - I have no idea.
Your father never has the habit
of letting us know his whereabouts.
So, have you decided to go against your parents?
I do not think that I am going against them.
But we have the right to desire.
So what is your desire?
It is like..
That..
Tell me what's on your mind. Only then can I help you.
Uma, your face says that you are hiding something.
Tell me. Who is the one?
Pavithran. He is a poet
revolutionary and a philosopher.
It's past midnight. Stop your chatter. Let others sleep too.
She is a unique type. Let's not irritate her. Let's go to sleep.
Hello..
Is it teacher Uma? - Yes.
I am Pavithran's friend. Pavi asked me to call you.
Last week, Pavi met with an accident.
Do not worry. He is at home.
He wanted to meet you once.
Pavi..
What happened?
I was returning back from Kalpetta with a friend on a bike.
There was a jeep following us.
That jeep came close, rammed us and sped off.
I was in the hospital when I regained consciousness.
We were a mess.
He is Kunjiraman. He is here as a help.
Kunjiraman, bring two cups of coffee.
Okay, sir.
Can't you let go of the party activities and look after yourself?
A revolutionist thinks about the direction of human compassion.
He does not resign or back off.
A revolutionary work does not stop
as long as there are no more exploited people.
All these days I fought with opponents and fanatics.
Now it would turn to another set of people as well.
Corrupt politicians. - Why so?
No one expected the rise of an elite class
on the pretext of liberating the poor.
Enough.
I did not come to listen to this.
You always talk only about party and revolution.
I did not bother much when Bahuleyan told
me about the new occupant in their house.
Do you know about my opinion about you at first sight?
What?
That you were a man of extreme attitude.
After that? - Then..
Tell me.
Then I thought that you were a handsome guy with good traits
who stays away from others like a philosopher and thinker.
It is hard for me to bear such a person. - Why?
Who can tolerate a person who is self-obsessed?
Yes. It is difficult. - Yet, I..
Stop!
What is it?
I have a secret to tell you.
Park the jeep in the shade.
What is it?
No. I was on my way to the station. - What is the matter?
It is a secret. - Don't beat about the bush.
Do you know why Uma had rejected marriage?
She loves someone else. - What? - Yes. - Who said so?
I will tell you.
Don't you want to know the person? - That is what I am asking.
He is one among the tenants who stayed at your house before.
If I heard it right
he is an extremist armed with weapons.
One among his group told me this.
Do not just say it. I want proof.
Do not get agitated before I say my point. I have proof. Come here.
An inspector's daughter in love with an extremist!
Her education became her bane.
Listen, let me tell you.
No one should know about it. - No.
Mother, what happened to you?
Nothing.
Father had called me saying that you were not well.
What is the matter? - Your father was mad at us.
For what? - Don't you know?
Mother, tell me the matter. - Did you go to meet Pavithran?
Oh! Is that the matter? Pavithran met with an accident.
So I went to meet him. For that..
How dare you meet him?
Who is Pavithran to you? - He is..
He is?
Who is he to you?
Tell me.
Tell me!
Pavithran is mine and only mine.
Do you like him that much?
Then you must go ahead.
Do not bother about other's likes and dislikes.
I am with you.
So have you come here after fighting with your parents?
Why do you have to worry about
the decisions that you have made?
Everything will be fine. Calm down.
Why were you in a hurry to meet me?
My family got to know about our meetings.
You know father very well. I just got saved from house arrest.
Now..
I see two of us together walking through an unknown path.
I did not expect such a situation in my life.
My life was not such.
But, now..
...my thoughts are giving life to new dreams.
They seem to be relating to you.
That is enough for me.
I do not need any promise beyond that.
He is bent upon ruining my political career.
He creates a lot of problems.
Not just that. Even my opposition
highlights his accusations against me.
To tell the truth, I am unable to stand in or out of the party.
He was a tenant to me for just three days.
He got my daughter within that time.
He is taking everyone in his stride.
Then how can your daughter be an exception?
People had forgotten about the Kuttiyadi scam
and I had started to regain my status in the party
when this man brought in his political strategy!
He opposed the decision I took at the Perambara executive council
and convinced
people that it was my crooked plan.
I shall not spare.. - Mr. Kurup, you have gained
everything that could be earned from your party.
My daughter is not my earnings.
It is true that girls must not be educated.
He lured her with his poetry and philosophy.
Now it is difficult to get her back.
But I will not let her with him.
Our enemy is the same.
We must eliminate him without making any fuss.
But how? - Only tactics work in politics.
Such crafts helped Kanneth Purushothaman Kurup
alias K.P.Kurup reach this level.
My mind knows how to subdue him as well.
You must stand as a support to me.
Good. You went away without even telling me.
A secret is a secret.
What excuse did you give Shanthakumari?
Some temple and some offerings.
Temple means any temple.
The offering was a golden thread as tall as me.
Idiot.
Why are you laughing so much?
Nothing. Just a joke.
How can we not laugh when we hear a joke?
This is not a cinema theatre.
This is a ladies hostel. You must follow some discipline here.
Okay.
Can't you understand what I said?
Until I am the warden here.. - No one must laugh. Right?
Go and sleep somewhere.
Who are you to teach us rules? We are not nursery students.
What happens during the end of the world?
The stars in the sky burst into pieces.
The clouds are set on fire.
A dagger splits the sun into two.
The sky and the earth gets covered with a tsunami of blood.
Which messenger is shouting aloud?
Where are my parents, sisters and brothers?
Who destroyed my house?
Pavi..
Uma, what happened? - Pavi.
Pavi. - Uma..
I have to see him! - Wait. Uma!
Leave me. - Uma!
Pavi.
