Sir.. Wake up! A customer is here.
Good evening, sir. Your suite is ready.
Please get the luggage.
Please.
Keep that bag here.
Sit.
Is it too cold?
Sir, I have kept the luggage.
I want some hot water. - I will bring it.
Sir, the restaurant is closed. We don't have any snacks.
But we can get you something to drink.
I asked for hot water so that I can have my pills.
Sorry, sir. I will bring it right away.
You can sleep if you are tired.
But before you sleep, have your medicine.
'Alcohol consumption is injurious to health.'
Sir, hot water.
It's too cold.
Don't do that. Be a good girl. Here.
Please.
Very good.
Sleep off.
Good night. - Good night, sir.
Didn't you leave? - My shift ends in the morning.
I will leave then.
Won't there be others? - Yes.
So shall I leave? - Yes.
Good night.
Good morning. - Don't you have Tamil newspaper?
No, sir.
Such a disgrace!
You came down to change and now you are dozing off.
Why don't you go home?
I didn't get any sleep, Pushpan.
There were three check-ins last night.
One wanted hot water, another wanted an extra bed.
That's all you had to do the whole night.
Nobody wants to know about the efforts of others.
Good morning, mister. - Hi, Minimol.
Minimol is angry.
Where is my milk? - It is ready.
No.. I will get it from the kitchen.
I will get enough sugar.
Mom never allows that.
Oh, look how beautiful it is.
Can't you keep this place clean?
You won't understand no matter how many times I say it.
You should have a sense of order and hygiene.
Keep it properly. - Good morning, sir.
Good morning.
Sir, what am I supposed to do today?
Yesterday I was in the kitchen, cleaning dishes and kneading dough.
So what about today? - Murugesan is on leave.
We have a vacancy in room service. - I will take it.
Your just finished your night shift.
No problem. I will get paid for working overtime.
Sir, you know my issues.
My entire salary is spent on my sister's medicines.
I rely on tip and overtime work to feed my family.
So you don't stand a chance today.
So it's again kitchen work for me? - No.
I am promoting you to housekeeping and room cleaning.
Clean the reception first. Let me go to the kitchen.
So cleaning it is.
Oh, please.
Sure. Yes, of course!
Thank you.
Hey, Thukaram. Any issues here? - What, sir?
I asked if there were any problems here. - No, sir.
Nothing? - No. - Thank God!
What are you doing? - Oh, God!
Sorry, sir. Good morning, sir.
Is there a problem here?
Problem? Maybe.. Well.. There is no problem, sir.
I will manage it, sir. - Oh! Now this a bigger problem.
Good morning, sir. - Morning. I hope there are no problems here.
None, sir. - None?
No, sir. - So there were no complaints by customers?
No, sir. - Any problem from outside the hotel or from staff?
No, sir. - Thank God!
So the problems are yet to begin.
Oh.. I wish I could sniff it at least once.
'Good morning, sir.' - Yes, good morning.
Maggie, any problems? - 'No, sir.'
'All lines are perfect and working.' - Okay.
Any other complications? - 'No, sir.'
Oh, Okay. Thank you, Maggie. That's a relief now.
Good morning, sir. - Good morning.
Johnson, is there a problem? - There is a small problem.
Oh, my God! What is it? Where is it?
Right here? - Who has a problem?
Who else? It's you.
Sir, please stop asking if there are problems.
It's causing more problems now.
Oh, no. That's a problem. Right?
Three staff are on leave today. - That's a problem then.
Don't worry.
I have allotted their job to others.
The work will go smoothly.
To be honest, having you around is a big help for me.
I'm not helping anyone.
I accurately receive my salary, dearness allowance and bonus.
Hence, I do my job sincerely.
Here, this is the closing statement from yesterday.
Hello.
Oh, it isn't this phone.
Hello. Yes, I will send someone right away.
Any other problem? Okay.
Hey!
Up here. - Oh, God!
You are sitting on my chair.
How dare you?
Your old post is still vacant at my manor.
Understood?
Do you remember your old post?
Yes. I was the supervisor at the elephant stable.
Supervisor! You knew only to clean elephant dung and I sent you here
only after appointing an efficient Assistant manager under you.
You are here only to watch them for fraudulence in my stead.
You are not here to rule over them.
Understood? - As you say.
Devu.
Let's have breakfast at the lawn restaurant downstairs.
What do you say? Come on.
Hello, Operator?
I am Balan Nambyar here.
I had booked a car to Delhi. Yes.
I will be at the lawn restaurant downstairs.
When it's through, please connect the call there.
Okay, thank you.
A Bindi will look good on you. Right?
That's fine.
Good morning, sir. - Velu.
The cost of the flask and tea set you broke yesterday
will be deducted from your salary this month.
Sir, I haven't received any salary for six months now.
If this continues, I will have to start paying you.
This is a profitable season. You will get a lot of tips.
Learn how to be more careful with things. Understood?
Yes, sir. I will be careful from now on.
I will not drop or break anything.
Wow! Good that it broke right away.
It's convenient for me to keep tabs.
Okay. One flask, two saucers.. - But, sir. This wasn't my fault.
Sleepy Suku here ran into me.
Sir, I don't even sleep at night. Why would I sleep during the day?
No more arguments. It dropped from your hand. Now clean it up.
Here. - Excuse me.
Sir, you had some calls from Delhi. There's a connection problem here.
Could you please come to the reception, sir.
Give me a minute. I will be back soon.
You are Malayalis. Right?
It's obvious from your looks.
What is your name?
You don't have to say if you don't have one.
Where exactly are you from?
I am from Varkala.
Pushpan.
Just a minute.
What's going on over there?
No. I was just acquainting with them, as they are Malayalis.
Enough with your flirting.
Go and do your work. - But I was.. just..
Mr. Johnson. Good morning, mister.
Good morning, darling.
Good morning, my dear.
Good morning, mister.
Oh, no! My doll!
My God! This is a problem now.
Oh, my God! My daughter!
Come. - Let's see. - What is it?
I don't know what exactly happened.
My dear..
Please go get some water. Dear.
Ma'am, she will be fine. There's nothing to worry.
She is able to speak.
We'll check that later. First, let's get her to a hospital.
Where's the vehicle?
Don't worry.
Get inside. She will be all right.
Let's go.
My daughter!
Oh, God! I hope she's okay. - I think she will be okay, sir.
It is so unfortunate.
What?
Hail Mary, full of grace, mother of God.
Pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death.
Plead for us to God Almighty.
Amen.
Alice.
There was an accident at the hotel today. - Yes.
I heard Suku talking about it.
How is the child now?
There's nothing to fear.
I dropped by the hospital on my way here.
That's why I am late.
There are small fractures on her arms and legs.
That's all.
Lucky that she's okay.
She missed the concrete slab by six inches.
It's all God's grace.
To save that child without injuries
I made an offering to God to take you to Bharananganam
and pray at the church of St. Alphonsa for a day.
Bharananganam is too far from here.
Why couldn't you make an offering at a church in the locality?
When you're the Manager
if there occurs an accident at the hotel
who's reputation would get tarnished?
St. Alphonsa of Bharananganam.
Don't be snarky with God.
We have to go to Bharananganam.
We can go to Bharananganam or Velankanni as you please.
Because it's you who made this offering. Right?
Mr. Johnson.
Please come quickly.
Coming.
Your drinking buddies are waiting anxiously for you.
It's the third time he has been shouting your name.
Don't we need some entertainment during the cold evenings here?
Hand me that shirt.
Your entertainment is crossing limits these days.
Your husband doesn't drink more than two pegs.
Right? - Enough. Just come back soon.
I'll be back in a jiffy, my dear.
Why do you have to bother me in this weather?
Why can't you get your own pickle?
That's because you are no stranger to us.
By the way, how's your back?
It's beyond saving, sir. I can't even stand up straight.
All my joints are aching.
And I get acidity when I eat.
Then why can't she stop eating? - Shut up.
There are no doctors left in Ooty whom she hasn't consulted.
But she has no illness for them to cure.
It's easy for you to joke about it.
Only I know the pain.
Ma'am, don't get wet in the rain, you'll catch a fever.
Take it out..
Where's the bottle?
Here! - Oh, no!
It was a close miss. - Who gave the bottle to him?
Here, open it. - I will do..
No, you will break it. We will open it.
Let's wrap up soon today. - Why?
I have to go to that hospital tomorrow morning.
I wonder how that child is doing right now.
Speaking of which..
Sir, did you see the reaction of that girl from room 323
when the little girl fell from the building?
Such cold-heartedness!
I felt something fishy about her the first time I saw her.
Stop talking nonsense about her.
You say this because your flirting did not work with her.
How can you see everyone under the same light?
But, sir. I think there's some truth to it.
There is something very unusual about them.
Many VIPs stay at our hotel.
I wonder if they are terrorists.
If they've come with a belt bomb, then all of us are..
Sorry.
Anyway, I will look into it tomorrow.
Cheers.
What happened?
It's said that the deepest secrets are revealed when one is drunk.
What's that revelation?
Why are you so concerned about the girl in room 323.
Oh, God! I haven't even seen that girl properly.
If you're this concerned now, I wonder how it will be later.
Oh, God! Why didn't you give him a job with no women around?
Oh, no. Alice, my dear.
When God has given me a beautiful woman like you
why would I go after loose women I meet at the hotel or outside.
That's what I fear. - What?
My husband is handsome and kind hearted.
What if women try to lead you astray?
Oh, my God! - Devil has even tested the God!
Then would it spare you?
My dear Alice, I don't think the devil will test me tonight.
Will he? Come let's sleep.
So there's no problem today.
Sir!
What? - There's a problem.
Problem? That will be a problem then!
Oh, my God! I was worried if there would be a problem!
What is it? Where is it? Who is it? When is it? In which room?
You don't have to worry.
It's all right.
Please tell me what the matter is.
What happened? - Nothing happened.
Then? - Mr. Balan Nambyar in suite number 323..
Oh, my God! He was a nice man.
Was it a cardiac arrest? - Not him, his daughter..
Oh, was it the daughter? Oh, my God!
Nothing has happened to her.
The way she behaves is a little strange.
That will be a problem. - It looks like he is trying to hide it.
Then it is a problem.
It is not our concern.
Still, if something happens
we should safeguard the reputation of our hotel. Hence..
Thampuran will finish me if the reputation of the hotel is ruined.
What will I do now?
Tell me, please.
It's simple.
We just have to ask them directly.
I will ask them.
You won't be able to do it.
You don't have the maturity to deal with such issues.
It's all right. I will take care of it.
I will go and get all the information.
Okay. By the way, there's something.
He shouldn't feel that we're trying to invade his privacy.
What?
He shouldn't feel that we're trying to invade his privacy.
Is that it? - Yes, that's it. - Okay. - Okay.
I am the General Manager of this hotel, Mr. Parameswara Kaimal.
Please sit.
Please don't feel that I am trying to invade your privacy.
As a Manager, it's my duty to know the details of the customers.
You have mentioned in the register that you are here for a visit.
Yes, that's my purpose. - Yes.
So what do you do for a living?
Job.. I am a freelance cartoonist.
Oh, an artist!
Where do you stay?
I don't stay at a place. I keep travelling.
Oh, you are a nomad!
Is the girl with you your student, daughter, colleague or friend?
The life of an artist is very complicated, right?
What do you mean?
What I meant is.. - I pay the rent on time. - Yes.
Please don't interfere in my personal life.
Well, it's my duty to.. - Do your duty in the office
not with the customers! - Yes, that's right.
Please don't feel bad.
If you need any help, please let me know. I am happy to help.
Mr. Kaimal, the biggest help you can do is.. - Yes.
to leave this room immediately.
Yes, that's right. Customer satisfaction is the..
You spoiled it, didn't you?
I didn't do it on purpose. It just happened.
Please don't tell this to anyone and ruin my reputation.
Reputation? There's no reputation left!
Mr. Kaimal, there is a certain way to deal with people.
Leave it to me. I will handle it.
How many times have you broke the glass this week?
17. - How will I cash in on it?
You can deduct it from my salary.
This costs double your salary.
Do you know? - Then please increase my salary.
Good evening, Mr. Nambyar. - Good evening.
I am Johnson.
I am the Assistant Manager here. - Oh, I see.
I think you went out for shopping.
I will help you out. - No, thanks.
I was right when I saw your name in the register.
Your name seems familiar to me.
How am I supposed to know?
Yesterday when I saw you at the lawn restaurant
your face looked very familiar. We have met before.
I travel quite a lot.
Must be somewhere. - Exactly. I travel as well.
Before coming here, I had worked in many hotels in North India.
I might have met you there.
May be. - I am sure.
You must have stayed in one of the hotels that I had worked with.
We must have met there. - There are chances for that.
Oh, that's why you seem familiar. You are an acclaimed cartoonist!
I was wondering when I heard your name.
But I don't use the name Balan Nambyar.
I draw cartoons by the name Balu. - Exactly.
Balan Nambyar, the one who draws cartoons by the pseudonym Balu.
We have met that way.
Come in, Mr. Johnson. Let's have a cup of coffee. - Okay.
I have bought some fruits. Here.
I didn't get any Malayalam magazines.
I have asked them to keep some ready.
I will see off someone and come.
Mr. Johnson. Please sit.
Thank you.
Marvellous!
You haven't explicitly hurt anyone but have criticised them!
That's how a cartoon should be.
That's what they say.
By the way, are you here for a meeting, function, conference or..
No. - Oh! I understood.
A journey to find new people and places.
A voyage in search of experience.
Yes.
Then why do you stay indoors all the time?
Why don't you go out?
Botanical Garden, Lake, Boat Club, Race Course
there are so many things to see.
I have visited all those places.
I am not interested in all those things.
You might not be interested, but the girl with you might be.
She is not well. - Oh, what happened?
I had noticed.
When I saw her outside, she seemed strange.
I will arrange if you want to take her to a doctor.
How is she related to you?
I was waiting for this question.
It is none of your business, Mr. Johnson!
I knew it right when you acted as if you knew me
that you will ask me this question.
I was just..
Enough! Your Manager came in sometime before and made an act!
The janitors and bearers look at us suspiciously!
Sir, I was.. - This is the limit.
If you are suspicious
come on, go and lodge a complaint with the police.
I will face it.
Or should I vacate the room?
I am sorry, sir. I didn't mean to offend you.
I just wanted to know the truth. Please don't misunderstand me.
She is not physically ill. She is mentally not well.
She has survived a big tragedy.
I am trying my best to cheer her up.
I her want to start living a normal, happy life.
We need respite.
Even if you don't help us, please don't disturb us.
I am sorry, sir. We didn't know this.
I apologise on behalf of everybody.
There won't be any inconvenience hereafter, to you and that girl.
You can consider this hotel as your own place.
We will be there if you need any help, anytime.
I assure you.
Is hotel the right place for mad people?
They should be admitted to the hospital, right?
She is not mad.
She is depressed, that's all.
A mental breakdown.
She has a cute face.
She is of Alice's age where one should be happy.
But she isn't able to laugh or cry.
She isn't even able to utter a word if something happens around her.
What a pity! - Poor girl.
He spread gossips about that innocent girl who is not well.
He should be..
Not only me, he also felt the same. - Yes, but..
When I heard all the gossips.. You also doubted them, didn't you?
Stop thinking ill about people.
Especially about girls like her.
Cute face, my age
An age when one should be happy!
So you are comparing her with me!
It looks like you are very fond of her!
You feel so apathetic. I've understood everything!
If this is the case, how will I even look at Mother Mary and pray?
You will doubt me for that as well!
Oh, my God! This woman..
Please bless me.
Come, let's eat.
"I touched the first petal of the flower"
"and said to myself that he loves me."
"I touched the petals at regular intervals"
"and said he loves me."
"I sang upon touching the final petal"
"and said he loves me."
"Like the evening sun loving the earth"
"and like the deep sea loved by the moonlight"
"I too love you."
"Like the evening sun loving the earth"
and like the deep sea loved by moonlight."
"The surprise makes me happy"
"With love, thank you."
'Smoking is injurious to health.'
Sir. Somebody is here to meet you.
Who is it?
The same girl who got first prize in the dance competition.
Yes. - Good morning, sir.
I gave you first prize because your dance was good.
There is no need to thank me for that.
It's not that, sir. My mom wanted to meet you.
Devayani. Is she your daughter?
I knew that you are the Chairman of the judging committee.
I didn't meet you purposely, earlier.
I've seen in many festivals, my poems being played on stage.
But never this beautiful. You must've trained her. Right?
Which school do you work for? - Here itself. - Okay.
I forgot your name. - It's Devu.
I came to know of your father's demise very late
as I was travelling frequently.
It was sudden.
Your daughter is smart and she will reach great heights.
Do you meet your son? - No.
There are lots to say. I thought I will get him back
at least when his mom died. That didn't happen. It's fate.
That's all.
We are leaving. We just wanted to meet you.
Okay.
Will you come to our home before you leave?
Yes. But not this time. Sometime later.
"A virgin bud used to admire the sun"
"in her mind."
"The inside of the sun"
"was similar to a small pigeon."
"The beautiful flower is the same virgin bud"
"that bloomed."
"The pigeon who lies in your heart"
"need wings to fly in this world."
O Lord..
Bless me, Lord.
Sir.. Any problem?
No problem as such. Thampuran told..
Thampuran? Where? When did he arrive?
Thampuran didn't come. A person is here
who has been referred by Thampuran.
You scared me. You may go. I will come.
They always get me anxious. Stupid people.
Hey!
Why do you get scared when you hear my name?
Well.. - If you do your work properly
you wouldn't have to get scared of anyone. Understood?
Yes. - You may go.
There is a small problem, Johnson. - What is it, sir?
Thampuran referred somebody for a job here.
Even the existing staff don't have enough job.
How will we accommodate a new guy?
If the owner wants it, how does it matter to us?
You can say that. At the year end
when there is a decrease in profit, Thampuran will question me.
That is at the end of the year. The person is here now.
Let me call him.
Hello. - Good morning, sir.
Not there. We are here.
Good morning, sir. - Good morning.
What is your name? - Appu, Appukuttan Pillai.
No need of that. What is your qualification?
Pre- degree. - Well, that's a good degree.
I have also cleared type writing and short hand.
Big deal. Hope you saw the gatekeeper when you came in.
He is a BA degree holder.
Most of the suppliers working here are BA and MA graduates.
Forget that. Do you have any previous experience?
Very less. I mean.. - Stand there and talk.
I worked for three months as a cashier in a lodge.
I am ready to do any job here. - Is it?
There is a vacancy of a doctor. Will you be interested?
Well, I meant to say any clerical or accounting jobs..
There is no specific job vacancy. - Please accommodate me, sir.
Since you are recommended by Thampuran, I will try
to accommodate you somehow. Thank you, sir.
Your job is to replace the staff on casual leave on a daily basis.
Sir? - It means if the store keeper takes leave, you should replace him
and the same for clerk and telephone operator.
That is good.
In short, he'll be an all-rounder. - Yes.
Two suppliers are on leave today. Let him start as a supplier.
Okay. - Are you fine with it? - Okay, sir.
Come here. Walk properly.
It's gone. - The size is not proper.
This will do as you are a beginner.
One waist coat and a bow tie will make you look better.
Stand straight. Be smart.
Please walk. - How to walk?
Like this. Come on. Walk.
Do you have pimple in your underarms? - No.
We will correct the walking, not a big deal.
First, wipe that off from your forehead.
I can't remove the sandalwood. I'll do everything else.
Suku, it's nothing. We'll take care of the rest. - Okay.
Do what we taught you. This is the customer.
Yes. - Okay.
Yes. - May I help you, sir?
That's at the restaurant. What about in the room?
Sorry, sir. - Okay.
May I come in, sir? - Yes.
How can you hold your pants when you have a tray in your hand?
You will drop the tray and break it. - Sorry, sir.
Your tea, please. - Place it there. - And after that?
Isn't it the bill next? - Yes! - Okay.
Please sign the bill, sir. - Thank you, sir. - Okay.
Take the tray from here. - I can't do it before he drinks.
Consider that he drank the tea. - Sorry.
Don't act too smart. - Sorry, sir.
My God!
What is written here? - No admission.
Then why did you come through here? - I..
Where did you get this uniform from? - They..
They didn't give it. I took it myself.
It won't look good if you go for room service like this.
Give the measurements and get the uniform stitched. - Yes, sir. - Go.
He was referred by Thampuran himself. Be careful.
We have extra staff, but it's okay because it's busy these days.
The owner must have sent him to know whom to fire
at the end of the busy season. - Oh, no. - I thought of that, too.
He looks like a spy. - Don't bully him even if he is not a spy.
You were like this when you joined, too. - Yes..
There is someone who peed his pants after getting shouted at
by a French woman.
Why do you recall unwanted things?
Where are you going? - Order from room 323. It's tea.
Why are you walking? - How else, sir?
You have an elevator for that. - This is easier for me.
This is Ooty. This is not your hometown.
The tea will get cold by the time you reach there.
That's more than enough for a complaint.
Why do you want to create trouble? Go take the elevator.
Sorry, sir. - Take the elevator. - Thank you, sir.
Which floor is this? - Fourth floor.
I'm on the ground floor again.
Is this really the third floor?
Open..
Oh no! Don't test me, God.
This is why they tell you not to trust machines.
Wait.. What is this? - The tray, sir. - How did it get in here?
The elevator doors closed before I could take it.
Why did you get in this with the tray? - The Manager told me to.
He was talking about the service lift. This is for the customers.
Where is that, sir? - Do you want me to deliver this?
No, sir. I'll do it.
I'm still getting used to the job. - Okay. Go.
My God. I didn't even press a button.
Suku, nothing broke today. - This almost broke.
Which floor is this? - Fourth floor.
Are you going to the third floor? - We are going to the ground floor.
Can you stop this at the third floor? - Yes. For sure.
Thank you. I've been going up and down for some time now.
Yes. Come in.
May I come in, sir? - I told you already. - Yes.
Your tea, please. - Mix the tea.
Sir. - Make a tea for me. - Yes, sir.
Sir, do you want it strong? - Mild.
Sugar? - I already told you that.
My God.
It's nothing. He broke a cup. That's all.
What have you done? - Sorry, sir.
Very sorry, sir. It slipped from my hand accidentally.
I made a mistake because of my lack of experience. I just joined.
This is my first order. Please don't complain, sir.
My elder sister and I depend solely on this job.
Please don't complain, sir. Forgive me, please. - It's all right.
Please. - It's okay.. Clean it and take those away.
What can I do?
I'm really sorry, sir. - I told you it's all right.
Sir, the bill? - What bill?
I have to get this bill signed by the customer after delivery.
Okay.. Today is a bad day.
That's why. - It's a bad day for me as well.
Okay. What is your name? - Appu. Appukuttan Pillai.
You may go, Appukuttan Pillai. - Thank you, sir.
You didn't drink tea. - It's on the floor.
There is some tea left in this.
Pour it into your ear, Appukuttan Pillai.
I'm really sorry, sir.
I'll register a complaint if you apologise again.
I won't apologise again. Sorry..
How was your first order? - It was good.
I learned a lot of things in a short span of time.
Where are you going now? - The guest in 412 wants drinking water.
This order is on the same floor. To room 423.
Why should two people go? Take this with you, please.
What is in this? - Tea set. - Tea again?
Lord Krishna. - Appu!
Did you call me? - Come here. - Suku, don't break the glass.
What were you doing there? - I was arranging everything.
You were making your own space. - No. Nothing as such.
Oh, no. - You got a good job and amazing new roommates.
It's God's grace. - Yes..
We should celebrate this occasion. - For sure.
I.. I'll sing a song if you'd like that.
No. We were thinking about drinks and something to eat. - Is that it?
I'll make some good bitter gourd curry for you.
I'll make some Dosa, too, if you have the batter.
Appu, we are talking about something else. - What?
You meant lemonade? - You idiot!
We meant liquor. - I don't drink.
You shouldn't drink, Appu. - Give him Rs. 100.
I only have Rs. 130 with me. - That's okay.
Don't keep more than Rs. 30 with you.
There are thieves here. - Oh, no. - Give him Rs. 100.
Give it fast. Mr. Johnson will be here soon.
Come. There is no time. - Go.
Will we be celebrating every day? - Yes.
But you need to spend only once a week. Is that okay?
Okay. - Then go. - That's all.
'Ummachu. Uroob.' - 'Dear sister.'
'The job and stay here is good.'
'By God's grace, the colleagues are nice.'
'They are believers and good people.' - Cheers!
'Everyone takes care of me here.'
'They don't let me work too much..' - Appu!
What? - Don't just sit there. Bring us some water.
Hurry. - Give me a minute.
He is slow these days. - Don't you want? - No.. Pour more..
Enough. It's his third.
Thank you.
Oh, no! It's too spicy.
You broke that, too.
I bought it with my hard earned money.
Lord Krishna.. My saviour..
My guiding light.. Bless me.
Lord Krishna.. My saviour..
My guiding light.. Bless me. - What the hell!
Appu, are you shivering or are you praying?
It's both. Lord Narayana..
Why did you take a cold shower?
That too here in Ooty! - Crazy!
I always use cold water.
Doesn't matter if I get sick.
To purify your body and soul, one must bath in normal water.
That is what my sister said to me. - Go dive into the lake then.
There is plenty of water there. You can die instantly. - Lord!
People barely find time to attend the sermon.
A long speech on top of that! - It's silly for you!
What do you mean? - The Priest's speech focused
on the temptations that could lead the devout believers astray.
You are not interested in it, right?
Alice. - Hi, Johnson!
Hi, Dayana! - See you!
See you!
This. This is exactly what I was telling you.
Oh, no! Don't misunderstand me.
That was a blonde who stayed at the hotel.
Believe me!
Good morning, sir! - Good morning.
Sir, do you know any temples nearby?
Temple.. Do you know? - No.
I don't know either.
I will check with someone else.
Don't roam around and come in late for duty.
I won't tolerate it.
Oh, no! I will be right on time.
Leave then. Come.
Is he acting like a fool or is he really one?
You will only feel that way.
If it was any girl in his place you would have sympathised for sure.
Alice, there is a pact between us.
Whatever it may be, our arguments and fights
must only happen in the privacy of our home.
If you break that pact
and take it out in public.. I may explode someday!
Please park the car down there.
Welcome, sir!
Good morning, Julie! Good morning, Doctor!
Give me my room key.
323 is occupied. - What?
How dare you say that?
Come on, Julie. Stop bluffing.
Give me the key.
I am telling you the truth. There is someone else in your room.
Who? - Mr. Balan Nambyar and family.
I will get you the room next to it. It's equally good.
That's not the problem. 323!
Three plus two plus three! Equals eight.
Based on numerology, eight is my favourable number.
My favourite room!
Please, Doctor! Please adjust for today.
No.. This is not right. It's totally unfair.
Who said it is peak season?
The business is dull due to unexpected rain.
But it's not as dull as the off-season period.
I was bad at math whether it was at school or at the manor.
My arithmetic is very bad.
I believe you have managed the accounts honestly.
That is what is right.
I don't want to check it again. My point is..
The boss shouldn't have any doubts about it.
It must be accurate. That is all!
Hello..
I can't hear anything. Who is it?
Johnson? He is here. I will give him the phone.
It's for you.
Hello, Johnson here.
If I had to drink alone, then why?
Why did I book a room in this hotel?
I want company. I want you.
Sorry, I was busy submitting the weekly accounts to the Manager.
Your duty time is till 6 o'clock. Now it's 6:05.
If you don't come here in the next two minutes
I will bring the bottle to your office.
Oh, no. Don't do that. I will be there soon.
Okay.
Is it that crazy doctor? - Yes.
To give him some company, right?
He only drinks expensive stuff, right? - Yes.
It would knock you out, right? - Yes.
It is an escape from the drudgery of accounting.
Would it be inappropriate if I come along with you?
He wouldn't mind.
Then let's get started. - Stop!
Are you really up for it?
Johnson, you can leave.
I am not feeling well.. - Are you afraid of the boss?
I am affectionate towards him. I am not afraid.
All right.
"Keep your cushioned footwear aside"
"and step inside with your bare feet."
Yes, come in.
Oh, it was you. - Good evening sir.
Make a drink for our new friend.
No, Doctor. He doesn't drink.
Such a shame. That is not manly.
How can anyone enjoy Ooty without having a drink?
Oh, dear non-drinking youth!
What is your name? - Appu.
Since there was another Appu in the house just below mine
and to avoid any confusion..
Enough. I will explain the rest. Leave.
I want to see him. - Who, Doctor?
I must see him. - Who?
My room. My own room.
That scoundrel who has occupied my room.
What is his name? - Mr. Nambyar.
He is just another Nambyar.
I know Mr. Kunjan Nambyar of Kalakkath.
I want to see him right now. - Not now, Doctor.
It's already late.
May be for you. For me the night is still young.
No, Doctor. He must be sleeping.
Let him wake up!
Yes, come in.
Are you Mr. Balan Nambyar? - Yes.
I am Dr. D'Souza. Robert Franklin D'Souza.
Call me D'Souza.
D'Souza..
What is this? - The cartoons that he drew.
You mean..
He draws cartoons under the name Balu..
I can't believe this! Cartoonist Balu.
My God! It's a miracle!
Sir, I am your fan, an ardent fan of yours.
His family is here. - Sorry..
We must celebrate this meeting of ours.
We will go to my room.
Johnson, open the bar. I must have a drink with him.
Not tonight.
It's too late. Sorry, please excuse me.
We will meet tomorrow. - No.. Not tomorrow.
I only drink once a week.
And I enjoy it to the fullest.
Other six days..
I spend in the company of people with mental illnesses
catering to their needs and driving myself crazy.
We will have another day like this.
You mean next Sunday? - Yes.
Are you sure you will be here? - Let us hope so.
We must! We must meet.
Good night. - Good night.
I am really sorry, sir. - It's all right.
Good night, sir. - Okay.
The poor British Lord who came here to conquer our land
couldn't bear the heat which led him to higher altitudes.
Udagamandalam is one such place. Ooty.
This place doesn't suit our heritage or lifestyle.
But it is still known as a spot of luxurious living.
It is based on that excuse that we are here..
Are you listening to what I am saying?
Good morning, sir. - Good morning, Mr. Appukuttan Pillai.
Are you out for your morning walk? - Yes, and you?
I am on my way back from the temple.
My sister has asked me to start my day only after a temple visit.
It's Lord Shiva's temple. - We will go there someday.
It's nearby.
It will take only five minutes if you go by car.
It's not as clean. But it's okay.
Here, the devotional offering. - I didn't take a shower.
But at least one of us has taken it.
See you tomorrow.
Velu, you are wanted at the office. - I didn't break anything today.
If anyone breaks anything.. Oh, no! Dear God!
Oh, no.
Can it be glued together?
I hope Mr. Johnson doesn't see this.
Sir, I was just thinking about you.
What have you done?
When I came this way, it was about to hit me, I dodged..
Do you know? It's a 500 year old antique
that our boss sent here from his ancestral home.
Oh, it's really old? I thought it was brand new.
You gave me a heart attack.
There won't be any pay cuts, right?
What is it? - It's nothing, sir. I was just..
What? - I was going to the next room.
There isn't a next room.
Not the next room, but the previous room.
But why are you here?
That's not why I'm here for. I came here to enquire
if you need anything.
If at all I need anything, there's a phone in here.
I'll call and let you know. Do you get it? - Yes.
Isn't that the temple?
Listen to me.
You can go and pray. I'll wait here.
It's not the same as before. I'm getting old.
Go now.
Pray to God on my behalf, too.
The name of Lord Shiva be praised..
Praise Lord Shiva..
God!
Oh, dweller of Kailas! Forgive me for the sins I've done.
May the peace be upon everyone. Praise Lord Shiva!
Devu.
Don't you recognise me?
It's me, Appu..
From Cherpulassery School.
I had a doubt the moment I met you on the way the other day.
I had never seen you after growing up and in such an attire.
Where is Mrs. Devayani now?
Just tell her my name.
She'll be really happy to know.
She was the best teacher I had, and I was the best student she had.
Devu, don't you recognise me? It's me, Appu!
Devu..
What is it, dear? What is it?
What's wrong, dear?
Get inside the car.
What happened? - Nothing, sir.
I.. - I'll kill you!
Sir.. I know Devu.
How do you know her? - Devu's mother was my teacher.
Devayani? - Yes, sir.
Where are you from? - Cherpulassery.
Mrs. Devayani taught for 15 years at the Devaswom Board School.
Devu was just a kid back then.
Why did she cry? - I don't know, sir.
I asked her about Mrs. Devayani's whereabouts.
She started crying and running all of a sudden.
Get in. - It's all right, sir. I'll walk.
I said get in.
You were Devayani's dearest student, weren't you?
She wasn't just my teacher, sir.
I used to drink water from the well in the noon to fill my stomach
as I wouldn't bring any lunch.
That was the only option I had back then.
One day, she found out.
Then when she used to bring lunch, she brought me some as well.
Books, fees.. I'm forever indebted to her.
That was how she had always been.
Everybody was fond of her.
And I was fond of her the most.
The two houses on either sides of the river.
I used to write poems about her back then.
She used to sing them.
A young man who had nothing but responsibilities and burdens.
But his path was that of a travelling artist.
I can't blame her parents for not agreeing
to send their daughter with such a guy.
She'd have left everything behind if I had asked her to.
But I had to think about the love of the people
we'd have to sacrifice if we had done that.
And yet, she rejected all the proposals she received
giving one or the other reasons.
Until the moment she realised that I was married.
And later, she married Mr. Kumaran.
Devu was born.
When I received a marriage proposal from a rich and wealthy family
I sold myself out, hoping to bring an end
to the poverty at my home.
I intentionally gave up the dreams I had about
my marriage and life.
But what they actually needed was a slave.
A clown that could draw so as to mesmerise their guests.
My married life was a mistake from the beginning.
I couldn't handle it for more than six months.
When we separated, she was pregnant.
Her arrogance and hatred restricted me
from seeing my own son.
I tried all I could to get him back
so that I could raise him the way I wanted.
I tried persuasion, compassion, even legally.
But I lost.
She raised him to hate me.
I've been his enemy ever since.
Methamphetamine, marijuana and drug were his companions.
He was reckless
with nobody to restrict him.
He was spoiling his youth.
Do you know?
A bad cartoon that I drew without my knowledge.
That's what my son is.
When I reached my home in Delhi after a long journey
I found an invitation amidst the letters I had received.
There was a note from Devayani in it as well.
'It's my daughter Devu's wedding. You must come and bless her.'
Beneath the note was the groom's name.
'Vishnu, grandson of Perunthachhan Nambyar.'
'Son of Late. Mrs. Subhadra.'
That's how I knew about my son's wedding.
I feared if I was intentionally sending Devu to be slaughtered.
The wedding was in two days, but my mind told me
that it should not happen and I must stop it at any cost.
How's this? It's good, isn't it?
It's very good. This suits you well.
I thought of writing to you when we received the proposal.
But I didn't have your address then.
It was at a fine arts program that they met each other.
I felt that it was a good family and sent my uncle to talk to them.
Even the horoscopes matched.
When I realised that he was your son
I didn't have to think twice.
What we couldn't do, at least they..
I felt so.
Devayani. He is my son.
But.. you don't realise
the sufferings your daughter is going to face.
He has a lot of bad habits and horrible friends.
He is very aggressive.
How can a father explain more?
I didn't realise all this.
He was well behaved.
Then..
He didn't get much care from his parents.
That's his problem.
But it will all go away when he gets love from someone.
He will be reformed. Devu will take care of him.
We should pray
for that to happen. Am I right?
I won't be there for the wedding.
I have to return.
I want you to do something before you leave.
The Sari suits her well, right? - Dear. - It's from Kanchipuram.
Come here.
Balan.
Take his blessings.
'How shall I bless her?'
'Shall I bless her to have a happily married life?'
'I blessed her with an empty mind before I left.'
Have it.
This is my presentation for you, pal.
Give him a big round of applause.
Sir, someone is here to meet you.
Who are you?
I didn't invite you, but I'm happy that you came.
Pal! - Hello. - Hello!
At least, people won't gossip that the groom doesn't have a father.
Oh, sorry! That will not happen, right?
You've come as a guest from the bride's side.
I didn't come here to hear you mockery.
You can live your life however you want when you are alone.
But it won't be the same from tomorrow onwards.
You should avoid many of your habits.
The girl who is going to marry you
haven't experienced any of this before.
Please don't hurt her. I came here to remind you this.
Still, you don't feel any sympathy towards me. - Vishnu!
Even though it is late
I thank you for your advice. - Hey, pal!
Come, let's booze! - We're having a bachelor party.
You can join us if you don't mind. Have some drinks as well!
We might not have anything special for you.
Still, you are welcome.
All that I was afraid of came true.
He didn't know how to convey his love for her.
He was a perverted husband.
The way he enjoyed the beauty of a flower
is by tearing apart the petals.
When the torture became unbearable
she went back to her mom to save her life.
When Devayani told me about this through her letters
I didn't know how to resolve it.
Still, it was my duty to go there
and find a solution.
It's me who should decide where my wife should stay.
She can't come with you. - Let her say that.
Are you coming or not? If not, say it now.
Arrogance is not the solution, Vishnu.
Devu hasn't left you.
Let her stay with her mother for a few days.
She will come back when she feels better.
The issue is between my wife, her mother and I.
You don't have to interfere in this.
Vishnu! - I know! I heard a lot of your stories.
You had affairs with women wherever you went.
I've also heard about
your affair with her which ruined my mother's life.
Dear, I.. - No! I want to know!
I've never considered you as my father.
Then why did he come here?
I will not let Devu stay here. Come here!
Come! - Mom! - I will drag you!
Vishnu! - Hey! - Vishnu!
Don't consider me as your dad.
But I'm begging you. Please.
Please don't do this. - Mom!
Vishnu, listen to me. - I won't!
I don't like my wife to stay at a place
where men like him come and go.
Come here! - Mom!
Come! - Mom! - Hey!
Mom! - Balan!
Come here!
Mom! - Get inside!
Mom!
Mom..
Mom!
Mom..
Mom!
Devu witnessed her mother
burning to death.
It took days for her to regain consciousness.
After that, I've neither seen her smile
nor cry. She won't even talk to anyone.
Like a puppet that follows our instructions.
I've taken her to many hospitals
doctors, pilgrimages..
She has changed a lot.
But still, she is not the old person I knew.
I need her back. I will keep travelling till then.
What about Vishnu?
Devayani's death.. The related investigation..
Someone advised him to stay away from this place.
He would have got angry when he got to know
that she was with me.
We were literally escaping from him.
One day, when he was riding his bike searching for her
he met with an accident.
The body was unrecognizable
as his flesh were scattered all over the road.
His friends told me that it was him.
My son.. died.
Devu became a widow at a young age.
All we have is each other now.
Now there is someone else who understands her well.
Appukuttan Pillai alias Appu.
I had never thought that she had suffered all this.
Oh, Lord! Thank you for saving her
from that miscreant.
You do one thing. Tell Mr. Balan
to take her to Pottayil church
for a 15 day convention.
But they're Hindus.
If you pray with a good heart
God will shower His blessings.
Dear Alice, don't bring up Jesus into everything.
He's already busy with a lot of things.
You always do this when I talk about the Lord.
Mr. Johnson has ruined everything for today.
A famous cartoonist like you
had to go through so much pain..
Oh, my God! I can't even imagine that.
The doctors in Bangalore are right about Devu.
It's not the treatment that she needs.
The doors to her heart must open themselves.
Your way of doing it is right.
You shouldn't have done this.
You could've told me about their arrival.
I could've prepared snacks.
That's why we didn't inform you.
It's all right.
We'll let you know a day before, the next time we visit.
A delicious feast with tasty fish curry
spicy chicken and other delicacies. What do you say?
Come, dear. Let's go inside.
To be honest, I don't feel like leaving.
We've stayed at many hotels in many places.
But here, I feel that I'm home.
I feel that I'm amidst my relatives.
Alice always used to tell me
about how long will Devu lock herself in her room.
We could go for a trip once in a while.
We don't mind sparing a day or two.
Alice, Appu, Suku and everyone will accompany you.
Even Devu would feel better. - Yes.
Yes. - Sir, coffee, please.
Are we still in the hotel?
"Come up.."
"Go down.."
"Hurray.."
"Relaxing in fog."
"The sky. The beautiful skies."
"The beautiful skies."
"The Senna flowers blossomed in the wild."
"The laughter spread wide in the wild."
"You will get washed away"
"if you keep looking."
"You are sweet as honey."
"You are to be protected."
"The Senna flowers blossomed in the wild."
"Yes, you would.." - It's all right. Thank you.
Good night. - Good night, sir.
Good evening, sir. - Good evening.
We received a few calls for you from Hyderabad.
Hyderabad? - Yes.
They said it's an emergency.
They have asked you to call back as soon as possible.
I have given the number.
Thank you. - Good night. - Good night.
I want to book an urgent call to Hyderabad. - Okay, sir.
Thank you.
Hello.
The Hyderabad call is on hold, sir. - Please connect it.
Hello. Yes, Balan Nambyar speaking.
Who?
Are you sure?
Oh, my God!
Yes, I understand.
I shall come.
Yes, immediately.
Devu.
I've to leave immediately for some work.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'll be back soon.
It's just for a couple of days.
It's a bit far.
If you come..
No, I don't want you to strain yourself.
Can you stay alone?
If at all you need anything, everybody's here.
They're all like our family now.
Can you manage it?
Don't worry, sir.
You can leave with no worries.
We'll look after everything.
We will take all necessary care, sir.
If you don't give her the medicines and food on time..
We shall see to that she has it on time.
I'll try my best to return in two days.
At the most, it may take three days.
That's because, it's something that I can't refuse to attend to.
You can leave without any worries.
'What is it?' - 'I'm here for Mr. Mathayi.'
'No, he isn't here. He's yet to return.'
'What is it?' - 'I've to meet him.'
'Tell me what it is.' - 'I need a place..'
Appu coming. Devu, good morning.
Sorry. Where's Devu? - She's inside.
Don't you have duty today?
I'll start my official duty once my personal duty is done.
Appu's here. Can I leave now?
Call me if you need anything.
'It's a good drink. Do you want some?'
Wait..
You must have your medicines at 7:30 a.m. first.
Then you can have your breakfast.
You didn't freshen up, did you?
Very good.
I thought I'd take you to the temple.
Mr. Nambyar has instructed me
not to let you be in your room all the time.
We'll go tomorrow.
Don't sleep off if you get bored watching TV.
Take this.
Do you remember Sanmarga Pradayini library?
The one behind the temple.
It was Mrs. Devayani who taught me the habit of reading.
She was the one who paid for my membership at the library.
I've read all the books in that library.
There isn't any I haven't read.
Devu.. Do you know what happened to Suku?
Suku, the one who works in this hotel.
A customer came in the morning to check-in.
He went to take the luggage.. He was eager for the tip.
That's when a boy had thrown a banana peel on the floor.
He stepped on the peel and..
Look at me.. He fell like this.
You don't find it funny, do you?
Anyway, how can one laugh when someone takes a fall?
Poor Suku.
We should cry when someone falls, right?
Please have it. Please.
Hey, why aren't you in your uniform?
Sir, that..
If you don't wear your uniform during duty hours
you wouldn't be the one suspended, but me. Do you know that?
But, sir.. - What?
I thought I'd be late if I wear my uniform and serve the breakfast
and hence, I thought I'll serve breakfast first and then wear
my uniform. And that's why I did it.
It's not that, the breakfast.. - I don't understand..
I was the one who sent him to Mr. Nambyar's room
to take good care of that girl.
Mr. Nambyar isn't here as well.
I can't refuse Johnson, can I?
You can do everything else once you're done with that.
Doing favours is good. Carry on..
She isn't refusing to have her medicines, is she? - No, sir.
She's having it on time. - Okay.
Thukaram, ask them to move the vehicle.
Can't they see the no parking sign?
Johnson, trouble's here. - What?
That scoundrel has booked a room again.
Which scoundrel? - That bloody politician.
Arumugham Vadivelan.
He has brought a few other guys, too.
When I gave him the bill last time
he threatened me with the state committee
and other rubbish.
He also threatened me that he'll cancel our license
if we try to mess with him.
I had to pay their bill from my salary.
If I know to give them the room
I very well know how to make them pay.
You don't have to worry about it.
I know you will handle it.
Will you deal with it? - I will. - Thank you, sir.
Tell them to move the vehicle.
The committee has appointed
me as the new leader.
And before that, even the Minister left.
What did I do before the new ministry came into power?
I resigned my position in the party.
We have to secure our well-being first."
The committee will come together again next week.
Do you know what the decision would be?
"I will be the area Head."
Long live.. - Vadivelan!
Long live.. - Arumugham Vadivelan!
Long live.. - Arumugham Vadivelan..
Long live.. - Arumugham Vadivelan!
Who is staying in the next room? - It's Mr. Nambyar.
Is he a Malayali? - Yes, sir.
Is he staying alone or is there anyone else?
He is with his family.
Is he a politician? - No, he is an artist.
Is it? I wish to meet him.
Will he draw my picture? - Sorry, he is not here now.
He went to his native. - What is this?
Doesn't he have any responsibilities?
He left his family alone here. Shameful!
It's all right. As long as I am here
there is no need to worry. - You are right!
Is Nambyar here?
I'm.. Nambyar's friend.
We are very good friends. Arumugham Vadivelan.
Has he told about me?
I need to meet Nambyar.
Do you know Kovai Ramalinga Chettiyar?
He is a famous film producer. He is my friend.
He is going to produce a new movie. Based on love!
He is looking for a female lead.
Can you give me a photo of yours? Give me.
You look perfect for movies.
Don't worry. I'll manage everything.
"Let them call me a wild person."
"Let them continue with it."
"We've fallen in the storm of love. What can we do?"
"Let them call me a wild person."
"Let them continue with it."
What are you doing? Let him go!
Who are you? Get lost!
Listen! He tried to abuse Devu.. - You can explain it later.
Beat the hell out of them!
What is it?
What happened?
Open the door! Open it!
What's the problem? - Arumugham is getting thrashed!
Arumugham is getting thrashed!
"Let them call me a wild person."
"Let them continue with it."
"We've fallen in the storm of love. What can we do?"
"Let them call me a wild person."
Oh, Lord! It's good to see a good fight!
"I have some desires as well."
"Don't think I'm a stone."
"I'm also a human being."
Hey! Stop there!
Take me with you.
That won't work out, sir.
It's not safe to let her stay here anymore.
Thank God that Appu heard her cry. Otherwise..
This is a big hotel. Different types of customers come here.
We won't be able to monitor everyone.
What are you trying to say?
Sir, we can shift her to the quarters.
We will be there to look after her.
Moreover, Ammini and Alice will be there to give her company.
With whom can we make her stay?
Suku and I are staying with our family.
I can let her stay in my house
but you all know about Alice's character.
How about Suku's quarters? - It's okay for me.
Sister won't have any problem as well.
You just tell her, Mr. Johnson. - Without asking Mr. Nambyar
we can't make a decision. - Well, he has faith in us.
That's why he left her with us. - Yes, if necessary when he calls
I'll tell him everything - Okay. Will she agree for this?
I will make her agree. - Then I have only one thing to say.
If Thampuran makes any issues regarding this matter
you should all stand with me. - Of course!
Are you sure? - Yes.
Ammini, do you remember what I said?
Don't make her sad by asking her about the past.
What are you saying? Am I that stupid? - No!
But women like to know about people's past.
That's why I reminded you. - Get lost, fool!
Don't worry! My sister used to call me a fool as well.
Dear! Don't you want to sleep?
Have some milk.
Come.
You can sleep in this bed. - No, I'll sleep on the floor! - No..
Already you are not feeling well!
If you fall sick sleeping on the floor
they will all kill me!
You can sleep there itself! I'm used to sleeping on the floor.
Are you okay with the blanket? - Yes.
You can call me if you want anything.
Just sleep well.
Devu.
Well! You didn't tell us that it's your birthday tomorrow.
Mr. Nambyar had called.
He told that he'd take a few more days to return.
He was relieved when he heard that you're happy here.
He has asked me to take you to the temple tomorrow.
We must leave early.
Ammini, which Payasam do you like the most?
What's the matter? - It's Devu's birthday tomorrow.
Why didn't you tell me?
Even I'll join you to prepare the feast.
The name of Lord Shiva be praised..
May peace be upon everyone.
Oh, Lord. Bless us.
The name of Lord Shiva be praised.
Forgive me for all my sins. Oh, Lord.
Bless me.
The name of Lord Shiva be praised..
Bless me, God.
Forgive me for all my sins.
May peace be upon everyone.
Sir.
Take it.
I'll collect the offering in the evening.
Devu, star is 'Kartika.' - Okay.
Let's go.
Hey..
Did you tell Mr. Johnson about it?
Naughty girl.
You're waiting for him to arrive, aren't you?
You shouldn't run around anymore like you used to.
You must take rest.
You're blessed.
I have to take leave for a couple of days next week.
I had made an offering to God that if he grants our wish
I will go to Parumala church and attend the prayers there.
Then you'll have to extend your leave for a few more days.
Why's that? - Even I've got some offerings to make.
At Manarcaud church, Velankanni, then.. - I have an idea.
I'll take leave for a whole year.
Not only can we make all the offerings we have to make
you can also give birth at a church.
You're unbelievable! You just need a reason to celebrate.
I threw a bachelor party, a wedding party
and even threw a party for my honeymoon trip.
Do you want a party for my wife being pregnant, too?
We just need a small party.
You can throw a grand one when she gives birth.
Do you need a party for that, too? - Why not?
Sir, I think they'll ask for two parties
if your wife gives birth to twins.
Oh, God! - This is the only fun we get away from home.
I was just joking.
I'm ready to throw you guys a party.
If we are planning to drink, we must stock it early.
Or we may not.. - Shut up, Pushpan.
Partying isn't just about drinking.
Sir, how about we invite everyone and have a feast?
Drat! You spoiled it.
You always come up with stupid ideas.
Sir, I have an idea.
How about we conduct this party in our hotel?
That's a good idea! Though we've worked together
in this hotel for all this while, we haven't had a chance
to celebrate in the hotel.
Okay, then let's do that.
That's not possible..
We can't do it in this hotel. It'll be a problem.
We can't predict when His Highness might arrive.
But, sir.. It's a party that I'm conducting.
I don't want to hear anything.
I can't do anything without his permission.
Okay, I'll tell you an alternative arrangement.
Please don't say no to that at least.
This is the first time I'm asking for your help.
You must definitely take part in it. - Yes.
You must be our Chief guest. - Yes.
So you must definitely attend the party tomorrow evening.
Yes. - We'll conduct the party at His Highness's empty bungalow.
Yes. - Thank you, sir.
Hey, Johnson..
Oh, God!
"Death is inevitable."
"It's part of life." - I'll be back.
"It's all an illusion."
"It fades away.." - Hey, dear.
Is this the time to sing the funeral song?
Funeral song? - Yes.
We sing this song during cremation.
Why don't you sing then? - Yes, right. - Go away.
Alice. Hey, today's one of my..
Today we are celebrating our happiness.
When will you sing, if not now?
"Yesterday.."
I'll sing then. - Sit down! I won't sing anything.
Instead, Mr. Kaimal will sing.
I could've sang, but it will be a problem
if His Highness comes to know about it.
Who'll sing then? - Appu will sing.
Appu! - Let Appu sing.
I don't know.. - Everybody has heard you sing in the bathroom.
Sing, come on. - There's just one song that I know.
A song that my teacher taught me long back.
That's the song you must sing. Come on.
Ready.
One, two, three.. - Four, five, six..
Okay, start!
"To view the meadows of blossoms."
"We shall go.. Oh, dear!"
"To view the meadows of blossoms."
"We shall go.. Oh, dear!"
"Do you have the sail for the boat to cross the river?"
"Do you have a song in your mind to sing while rowing?"
"Do you have the sail for the boat to cross the river?"
"Do you have a song in your mind to sing while rowing?"
"Sing, oh, dear! Sing!"
"Dance, oh, dear! Dance."
"To view the meadows of blossoms."
"We shall go.. Oh, dear!"
"Once we reach the other side of the river"
"we can see the rain dancing."
"Once we reach the other side of the river"
"we can see the rain dancing."
"We can see the birds dancing in joy."
"We can hear the music of the leaves."
"We can witness the deities attend the festival."
"Sing, oh, dear! Sing!"
"Dance, oh, dear! Dance."
"To view the meadows of blossoms."
"We shall go.. Oh, dear!"
"Once we reach the other side of the river"
"We can hear the song of the serpents."
"Once we reach the other side of the river"
"We can hear the song of the serpents."
"We can see the squirrel dancing."
"We can attend the festival."
"We can see the children.."
"Dressed"
"in festive cloths."
"To view the meadows of blossoms."
"We shall go.. Oh, dear!"
"Do you have the sail for the boat to cross the river?"
"Do you have a song in your mind to sing while rowing?"
"Sing, oh, dear! Sing!"
"Dance, oh, dear! Dance."
"Sing, oh, dear! Sing!"
"Dance, oh, dear! Dance."
This is the line of life. Do you see this small line?
This is the supporting line. Do you know what it is?
You will live a long life.
Do you see this spot on your thumb?
That's the line of sustainability.
That means you won't die of hunger.
I read the wrong palm.
It's the left palm for women. - Hey!
What are you doing?
What is it?
I was just kidding. - How dare you!
Let go! I said, let go!
How dare you? - Appu!
You! - Leave me!
Hey! - Let go! - You! - Leave me!
Ma'am!
Appu! Appu, what are you doing?
Let go! Move!
What is it? - I saw him trying to flirt with Devu.
What did I do? I was just reading her palm.
What is wrong in that? - Because I've the responsibility.
Move! - We all have the responsibility. - Pushpan!
Is she yours? - Yes, she is mine!
Only mine!
What is it? What happened?
Nothing, ma'am.
Appu, what did you just say? Devu is yours?
I said it.. in that situation..
The truth has come out!
I had no bad intentions.
Well, I didn't know
that you loved her.
Don't get upset with me. - Never. It's okay.
You should give us a treat. - He will.
But first, let Mr. Nambyar come.
You should give us a special treat for presenting your matter.
God made you suffer.. Made you cry..
Still, dear..
The door of happiness has been opened for you.
The Lord will never abandon the ones with a good heart.
Are you sleeping?
Mr. Balan has come.
What happened to you?
Nothing, dear. It was a hasty journey.
You look happy. That's all I want.
She is not the same girl I left with you.
She has changed a lot.
How will I thank you for this? - All the credit goes to Appu.
It's all because of him. - Where is Appu?
Appu.
We are going back tomorrow.
We will come again. Someday.
I will always remember you all. Forever!
We have to leave early in the morning.
Before that, we need to meet everyone.
There are a lot of things I want to tell you.
Her bag. - Suku, keep her bags in the car.
Okay, sir.
Appu.
Don't get upset. He doesn't know anything.
I will tell him today itself. Come.
Sir.
I study human behaviour.
I can tell..
even a small change in ones face.
If I had known about this before I left that day
I would have been happy about this relationship.
But now, you can't realise
the pain in my heart.
What is it, sir?
Do you know where I had been
leaving Devu here? Do you know why I left?
A motorbike which was crushed by an accident.
Flesh scattered everywhere.
It was the only evidence
that his friends needed to recognize my son's dead body.
I didn't try to find the truth as I wished him to be dead.
But my son whom I had believed was dead
is alive!
Being a drug addict
he lost control of his body and mind.
The people who found him under a bridge near the national highway
could have abandoned him there.
During the treatment at the mental hospital
he spoke about me
and that's how they got my information.
When I went to the hospital after hearing this news
I wished that it was not him. Even if it was him..
I hoped the doctor would say that they tried their best
but couldn't save him.
No father in this world would've wished like me.
But I did. I prayed for that.
I could've abandoned him in the asylum in Hyderabad.
But I'm his father. If I had stayed there
Devu would have been alone here.
When I stood worried thinking about what to do next
the first person whom I could think of was Dr. D'Souza.
He came as soon as he got the information.
He took up Vishnu's responsibility.
He won't wake up till we reach the hospital.
I've observed one thing about him.
Even though he has lost control of his body and mind
he still has an urge inside him to strive forward.
I can't say much about it now.
I've hope in him. But you should be
with me for a few days.
I don't know when your presence will be needed
or even your voice to bring him back.
But Devu is alone there. - It's our place.
They are our friends. She is safe.
Don't worry!
Mr. Nambyar. I've some happy news for you.
I've been with Vishnu for the last two days.
I was trying to study him with all my knowledge.
Do you know? He went to the toilet
without anyone's help.
He had his breakfast. He read the newspaper.
He responded when I called his name.
He responded to your cartoons as well.
He recognised your face in between those photographs
and he murmured the word 'dad'.
He remembers you.
And even Devu.
Vishnu.
Do you recognise me?
Dad.
Don't you want to see Devu?
She is with me.
In Ooty, with me in my hotel room.
Dear. - Leave him.
Let him cry.
Just leave him.
This is a very positive sign.
Now you shall leave.
You must come back with Devu.
His reaction while meeting her is more important.
But she should come with a forgiving heart.
I can hide everything from Devu if I want.
I can leave Vishnu to destiny.
I can stop meeting Dr. D'Souza.
But he is my son.
Apart from that, he is Devu's husband.
You guys tell me. What should I do?
You should go. You should take Devu along.
My sister has told me
to pray to God when we are in distress.
I will pray to all the Gods
for Devu's well-being.
I will consider everything as a dream.
Appu.
Go and sleep, sir. It's already late.
We'll all come tomorrow morning.
Everything will be fine.
Yes. What?
When? And?
Okay, I'll take care.
I will be here.
Please let me know if you get any information.
What happened? - Why didn't you sleep?
I am not sleepy.
You might not have had your medicines.
I don't take medicines these days in order to sleep.
Have this. You are sleeping in a new place, right? Take it.
Have one more.
Get good sleep. We need to leave early tomorrow.
Mr. Balan.
Do we have to leave this place?
Now you should sleep peacefully.
Devu..
Vishnu.
Devu is not here.
You!
Devu. - Be quiet.
Vishnu.
I will drop you back.
Tomorrow I will come and meet you with Devu.
Now.. Now she should not see you.
I want to know if she will come with me if I call her.
Devu. - Oh, no. - Devu..
Quiet. - Devu!
Vishnu. Hey!
Vishnu.
He is my son.
Devu doesn't know anything.
She shouldn't know anything for the time being.
Appu.
The right people should be together.
Haven't you heard
the old tale narrated by grandmothers?
The story of a king who went places in order
to find a prince for his daughter who couldn't talk or smile.
The story of a king
who promised to give half of his kingdom and the princess
to the one who can wake her up.
Devu.
I will return as soon as possible.
Do you remember what I said? - Yes.
Come.
