Who died there, grandpa?
Whoever it is, what difference does it make? It's a human, right?
Why are you crying for that?
Should | laugh at a house where a death has happened?
But no one cries here, right?
What?
Grandpa, where do dead people live?
Dead people living?
Oh! Like that!
Well...
Some say that there's heaven and hell after death.
Some others say...
that people are reborn as dogs or cows after death.
Who knows?
We'll have to see once we're dead.
What if the dead people are living amongst us?
What's the guarantee that the person who died today, is not walking with us now?
Huh?
Grandpa!
'A bunch of crooks'
'As they reached this shore, stealing a treasure'
'One of them got struck by lightning on his head and fell down on the floor'
'As they were speaking, the next crook also fell down, trembling to death. Oh no!*
'This kept spreading. What is this? Black magic?'
"Ever since that, the Death-God kept roaming around this village'
'The king, the protector of the land, became tensed'
'He broke his head over it, and found a solution'
'Many experts from many religions came visiting, one after the other'
'All the tricks that they ever knew, failed and collapsed.
'Hopes became weak, as this miracle continued'
'Those who came to console the grief of death, were taken away by death'
'Death is a debt that cannot be stopped'
'As they realized this, they received an order'
'Hug each other as long as you're alive on this land'
'Laugh out loud, when one dies'
'No more tears, get rid of them'
'Even the smart ruler, died and was buried'
'This village will be building graves laughing and smiling, how and forever
This is why | always tell everyone...
to click a good photo before dying.
Or else, this is the kind of photo that will hang on the wall.
Did you get it?
Very clearly!
Then take the body.
Come.
| am Vaishakhan.
Huh?
Oops. Not that.
This is me.
My job is to fix a speaker and play music wherever a death happens in this village.
And thus, I'm always busy here.
Jabbar Ikka says that I'm the one who makes the most money in this village.
Might be true!
Hey Vaishakhan!
Are you coming on this?
Hop on, dude. There's a lot of space left.
Oh no!
Sukuetta, press the brake!
We're falling!
Sukumaran doesn't know how to ride it.
Vaishakhan, where are you rushing to?
To Beewi's house.
To Beewi's house? Who is it there?
Didn't see Kooman today!
Kunjappu is on top of the world, whenever there's a death in a big house.
He'd be eating and sleeping there for the next 34 days.
-We're also coming!
For the next few days, it will be like a festival here.
Beewi's eldest son Abubacker has died.
And...
Beewi's house is like...
Don't you think this village has some problem?
It has.
Not just a small problem.
A huge problem.
Grandpa says that it was cursed.
No one talks about it here now.
Still, I'll say it.
Death is the curse of this village.
Untimely death.
This is Kelu.
He is my father.
He has been educated from the other shore.
These are the people who have died, from this house.
This is my grandpa.
The one whom | spoke about earlier.
Grandpa keeps going on trips.
He was really friendly with me.
He's dead.
He's always sleeping!
So annoying!
Butter-milk!
Dad started this school.
Everyone on the other shore, goes to school apparently.
He must be kidding.
What can we get by going to school?
And grandpa says that whatever dad teaches, is not right.
Tries to say A-B-CDEF-G)
How else can he teach?
Must be because grandpa doesn't know.
Right?
Dad doesn't like me at all.
| don't like him too.
What's this for?
This is Mustafa.
To tickle your dad?
He is my buddy.
Oh no! Won't my dad's foot get wounded?
These are just glass pieces. He won't die!
-Isn't that Kelu Master? -Run!
- What happened?
Run!
- Run fast, dude! - Master!
- Don't look back. - Who did this?
Don't look back. Run! Run fast!
Get up, Master.
- Come fast, man! - Which Iblis did this?
Get up, Master.
Get up, come on.
Look!
Do you want that?
I'll get it for you one day.
Anyone wants to hear about a death?
- This is Kooman.
Whoever dies here, Kooman knows that immediately.
Immediately, Kooman rings a bell, and informs it to all the villagers.
Someone whispers it into his ears, apparently.
Anyone wants to hear about a death?
| am here, Kooman.
Who is it, Kooman?
Kunjikkader's son. Mustafa,
What to say!
He fell down from a tree and died.
Doctor...
Was he alive when he was brought to you?
No way!
He died instantly when he fell from the tree.
If you climb on top of that, you can see the mosque.
It is that tall.
Then how can he survive if he falls? - True.
The kid's mischief!
Already, people don't need areason to die here.
That's when he went and climbed on a tree!
His arrogance!
- That's it. -Hold it.
Give me one glass, son.
Shall we bathe the body then?
What the hell is coming, oh God?
No idea!
Huh?
Isn't this our Sreedharettan?
Who?
The one who keeps roaming around?
Yes. The same.
That was the first time | saw grandpa.
The one who keeps going on trips.
But...
Back then | was looking at...
Who are you?
Where are you from?
Here.
Kelu's?
What's your name?
Vaishakhan.
Are you his first son?
Well...
First, second...
Leave it.
Who died here today?
Where? Oh,
Mustafa.
Who is he to you?
Buddy.
Aren't you sad that your buddy died?
Don't you know how to cry?
You're grinning?
So you do know how to cry, huh?
Hey!
Whom do you like the most here?
I like this snack the most.
Not that, you idiot.
Among the people here, whom do you like the most?
Useless!
Narayanetta!
Oops.
| don't like anyone else getting into grandpa's car.
Except Fida.
Fida is from Beewi's house, where they sell sweets.
That's why.
I'll never get tired of travelling in this car.
Do you go on your trips in this car, grandpa?
Will you take me also on a trip once?
Why not?
We shall go!
Let's take him also.
When did you reach after your trip, Sreedharettan?
'Madakku' (Sweet)
It has been 2-3 days.
‘Laddoo’ (Sweet)
My daughter says that once you come, you take them for rounds in your car.
Old man!
Just for fun.
One... Two...
Three...
My throat is itching. Some water, please.
No need. He'll go and get it.
Hey!
Bring some water.
| am eating Neyyappam (shack).
Water.
Go!
Kids don't listen to us these days.
The women are all in the sweets kitchen.
The festival at Shiva Temple on the other shore starts tomorrow!
Well.. Where all have you gone on your trips?
Sion.. - Sion.
Burma... -Burma...
Ceylon... - Ceylon...
And Persia.
And Persia.. - Persia?
Oh Lord! This girl!
You brat!
Stop there!
Haven't| told you not to take it?
Shucks.
Why are you standing here, son?
Grandpa wants some water.
I'll get it right away. Wait.
You & your... Throw it away! - My Neyyappam!
Neyyappam! Senseless idiot!
What the hell are you good for?
I should be slapped for spoiling you like this.
On the other shore, this will be a big problem.
A Hindu boy going behind a Muslim girl.
Started with your other shore stories!
It's always about the other shore.
The people here are not humans or what?
Isn't that Jabbar's house?
Sigh!
| had met him even the last time | came.
He gave me a lame tea as well.
That's how short a human life can be.
So you didn't know anything?
What?
Some unbelievable incidents happened here!
What happened?
Must have been one week since you went on your trip.
One day, Jabbar was making tea at his shop.
No one knows what happened.
Oh God!
Jabbar, who saw something & got scared, ran away somewhere.
The villagers searched all over the village.
Finally, when Jose's grandma was washing clothes at the river-bank,
she saw Jabbar running from somewhere and jumping into the river.
It took 3-4 hours for him to regain consciousness.
'He might have seen something & gotten scared'
That's what everyone thought.
But that wasn't the reason.
He got possessed by a Djinn.
ADjinn has possessed me.
Initially, no one believed him, until the doctor said so.
While he was coming through the riverbank after a treatment,
"There was a Djinn as tall as atree in front of Jabbar!
'And as he stood watching, the Djinn shrunk to the size of a mustard seed,
and went inside Jabbar's mouth.'
The Djinn who entered then, hasn't left his body since that.
Moreover, he can see dead people now.
He can talk to them too.
Jabbar Ikka...
Who is that?
It's me, Vaishakhan.
I'm asking you!
Who are you?
Vaishakhan.
Pappan...
Don't hurt the boy.
You know me, right?
Butter-milk.
One more glass. -Huh?
Not for me...
It's for the Djinn.
Son...
Get one tea for the Djinn as well.
That one, without sugar.
Son, one more Biriyani.
Not for me. It's for the Djinn.
Stay here.
What's happening, Jabbar Ikka?
Done with your bath? - Yes.
My bath is over.
Now the Djinn has to take bath.
Djinn?
Oh Lord!
Josetta, run!
My sandals.
Sukuetta, camera.
Run! Run!
Djinn! Run! Escape!
Run!
Are you nuts?
Yeah right! A Djinn who eats Chicken Biriyani & takes oil baths.
Jabbar is lying!
Jabbar might lie.
- Well...
But the Djinn won't lie.
We know that, Jabbar.
And...
why have you come here?
Well...
Do you do this attraction (cupid) business?
Attraction... - The Djinn...
No.. Not you!
Does the Djinn do it?
Well...
Whom do you want to attract at this age, Sreedharettan?
Whom?
Well...
It's someone from the other shore.
Your grandson has grown as tall as you.
Still...
you haven't stopped all these, huh?
I'm not saying anything now.
The Djinn is here.
You remember everything Jabbar said, right?
Hold this, auspiciously!
Tie it up right above where she keeps her head while sleeping.
Aren't you coming, grandpa?
As if we're going with your marriage proposal!
Go!
Grandpa!
Can't we climb tomorrow when there's light?
You donkey...
Then let's play drums & bring the villagers too.
Climb!
Come on!
Climb!
Or else.. Wait! Wait!
One more small thing. Come. -What?
For some courage...
Where did | keep it?
Open your mouth.
You'll have some more, right?
You'll get a little more courage.
Go!
Be brave and go!
Hey Vaishakhan!
Get down on top of the roofing tiles from the edge of the tree.
From the North, if you remove the fifth tile,
it's the attic. Okay?
How does grandpa know it so correctly?
Phew! Which tile did he say it was?
Kitchen?
Vaishakhan!
What are you doing here?
This magic bag.
A little more to this side.
This side? - This side.
Little more to this side.
Here? -Yes.
A little more.
Don't you keep your head there?
I'll show you.
Here.
What did grandpa say this was for?
For some attraction...
| didn't understand.
Grandpa is waiting outside.
What were you doing in the kitchen, Fida?
What?
Nice.
Really?
It could have been sweeter.
Do you know how to climb a tree?
No.
You don't know at all?
Higher!
Climb fast.
You idiot! Climb!
Which mango do you want?
Not the mango.
Isn't this a mango tree? - That.
What?
This?
Vaishakhan, you're a scaredy-cat, huh?
A little.
He's my own blood, after all!
'Did the eyes speak something?*
'Did the mind hum like a bee?'
'The snowfall I'm drenched in, did it shower through your playful words?*
'To swing from my heart, dreams have turned into sparrows"
'Did those blue eyes speak something?"
'Did the mind hum like a bee?'
'Flirting with the breeze'
"The drizzle of the sweet first rain'
'Agolden smile'
'Athousand fireworks in me'
'Let's chirp like doves, under the cozy shadow of the flowering tree'
'l am like the peacock feathers in the books, stroked by your fingers'
'The colour of the twilight sky on your cheeks'
"My mind fills up with the desire of pinching them'
'Did those blue eyes speak something?"
'Did the mind hum like a bee?'
'Hey gorgeous, dress up like the beautiful full moon'
'Shine upon the window as the daylight'
'Befriending each other'
'And then fighting with each other'
'Are you overflowing with mischief?'
'As you look in the mirror, coyness blooms'
'This girl has saved every single sweet dream'
Have you eaten the Neyyappam from Beewi's house, grandpa?
Fida has the fragrance of that Neyyappam.
Where are you off to, on your birthday?
Is this new? - Stop it.
I made a mistake.
The Payasam (Dessert), right?
| knew that you don't know how to make it.
It's not that.
| told you many things...
She also grew up here, right?
She won't feel anything for you.
Why?
Is this the Payasam? - Stop it.
Hey!
You do one thing.
Go and give this to her.
I'm not giving you any guarantee.
If you are lucky,
she will understand you.
Or else...
Or else, what can we do?
Like others, you also live and die.
I'll go, give this and come.
Don't go anywhere, grandpa.
How old are you today?
Seventy one.
Wow!
Fida!
- Fida... - Coming, mom!
Vaishakhan has brought Payasam for you.
Payasam.
It's grandpa's birthday.
- Anyone wants to hear about a death? - Grandpa made it?
Yes. - Anyone wants to hear about a death?
Coming, Kooman.
-Who is it, Kooman?
Sreedharan. Kelu's father.
Which one? The Sreedharan who has a car?
Which other Sreedharan do you know?
His car toppled, from the top of Anamuthi Hill.
| wonder whether Vaishakhan came to know.
He is inside.
Vaishakhan...
For Vaishakhan, written by Grandpa.
If there's someone who can read, read this for him.
Vaishakhan,
Grandpa is going on another trip.
But...
1 won't be coming back this time.
| was sure from long back that you're going to maintain my lineage,
among Kelu's children.
You will also live long like me.
| always wished that | shouldn't die in this damn cursed land.
| kept going on trips for a long time, because | was scared of that.
But, that didn't happen.
Still, in this village where anyone can fall dead any moment,
| planned my own death.
| have defeated death, Vaishakhan.
One more thing...
You don't know the amount of loss which a death causes.
1 will show that also to you, through my death.
With love, your grandpa.
Didn't you hear?
This is not an accident.
He toppled the car himself.
He defeated death.
Sreedharettan planned his own death.
Yes.
Has such a thing ever happened in this village?
So much courage!
What a man!
I still don't know what grandpa did.
But he became a hero for the villagers.
Anyway, grandpa could have done that without dying.
| became all alone ever since grandpa died.
I thought I'll go meet Fida...
But without grandpa...
Jabbar Ikka gave me many amulet threads.
They were useless.
I hope | could die, like grandpa.
But...
| don't have a car, right?
When they are sad, people on the other shore drink alcohol.
But my grief only increased.
Grandpa!
Fida also left to the other shore, to learn Arabic.
After a long time...
Do you want 'Attar' (perfume)?
Do you want Attar?
Attar?
It's first-class Attar, made in Arabia.
Jannatul Firdaus, Al Haramain...
| don't want it.
Then shall | give you Surma (eyeliner)?
Didn't I say that I don't want anything?
You didn't say that you don't want anything.
You said you don't want Attar.
Then | don't want anything.
Fine?
If what mad-man Pokkar said is true,
tomorrow is the day when the Iblis becomes happy.
And you too.
Then, like everyone else, you would also smile.
Anyone wants to hear about a death?
Abubacker.
Abubacker, from Beewi's house.
Huh?
And, Beewi's house is like...
Hey Sulaiman, what happened to your daughter?
She came from the other shore, right?
Might have learned all the unwanted stuff.
On the other shore, no one laughs when someone dies.
No.
It's not like how it is here.
What are you looking at?
Climb & check, Vaishakhan!
Oops.
When the music stopped, | told him not to climb up the tree.
He didn't listen to me.
When it's time to die, no one would listen to anyone.
This house is full of his junk like this!
Is this actually him, Sukuetta?
Anyway, this is more than enough for him, Josetta.
Butter-milk.
The brass band finally got work, because he died.
Kelu Master...
We just buried Abubacker now.
That's why we are late.
Keluetta, shall we take the body then?
Hold it.
Konapri...!! - Hey!
Hey Vaishakhan!
Grandpa!
Didn't you ask long back where the dead people live?
Right here!
Among all of them.
Yes. | swear!
First, you see everything here in person, and understand it.
And once that's over, we should go on a trip.
Togo on a trip? Now?
I'm not coming. -You're not? Wait.
Then what are you going to do here?
Shucks!
Oh! Is that so?
You fool! Don't you have any sense?
It must have been some dust that went into her eye.
She wasn't crying. She doesn't have any feeling for you.
| saw her crying.
When | heard that you fell from the tree,
| came running, praying that you shouldn't survive.
Do you know that?
| didn't want to die now, grandpa.
| wanted to die only when I'm as old as you.
Oh! Like that!
Hey!
Have you heard that God calls good people back quite early?
What's the reason?
- I'll tell you.
That is...
Once we're dead, we won't grow.
Our hair doesn't grey...
Our skin doesn't wrinkle.
We'll remain the same.
I made a mistake. | should have died much earlier.
| could have stayed young.
Mustu? -Yes.
Hey Mustafa!
Who is this twig?
Grandpa, this is Mustafa.
Who is this log?
Dude, this is my grandpa.
Oh! The one who goes on trips!
Yes. The grandpa who goes on trips!
So you agreed that I'm you grandpa, right?
Hey Vaishakhan,
it's inauspicious to go behind your own dead body.
Do you know what all happens here?
What?
He wants to know what!
I'll show you.
'Those who departed, one by one'
'Do they rise up and look at us?"
'Those who departed, one by one'
'Do they rise up and look at us?"
Tell me!
The song on the speaker yesterday was very good!
Hey! Give me one more bottle.
'Is there music up there?"
'Are there steps matching the music?'
'Are there dreams? Are there memories?"
Even after drinking so much, I'm not getting high at all, Madhavan.
But I'm really high.
'Are there steps matching the music?'
'Are there dreams? Are there memories?"
"Does time change its form?*
But didn't he die?
So?
Just because we're dead, shouldn't we drink?
Hey!
We have the ability to steal the taste, pleasure and intoxication...
of those who are alive, without their knowledge.
Then, they would say...
This doesn't have any taste.
| drank so much, and I'm still not high today.
Sreedharan!
Your grandson has come here, right? Have one more drink!
No! We're leaving today itself.
Oh! On your trip!
Huh?
Vaishakhan, have you gone crazy?
What she didn't feel for you when you were alive,
you're saying that she felt it when you died?
It's true!
We can see them, and hear what they say.
But, this is a different world!
What you're saying won't happen here.
Well...
What is it?
In case she remembers him, as he said...
So what?
Oh no!
What is it, grandpa?
Don't make noise.
Get in.
Slowly.
That's Sukumaran!
Empty glass?
- Sit there! They won't see us. -Jose, did you hear a song?
Song?
| need to drink 2 bottles for that.
There is someone in here.
Move away. - Josettaa!
As if his dead dad Manoharan is sitting in here.
Shut up! - Josetta!
Manoharan!
Your son has come to steal again today!
He only brings disgrace to me.
| knew that he'd be no good, the moment he was born.
Josetta...
Did you hear it?
Can they hear what we're saying?
Sukumaran came here to steal, right? So he must be a little scared.
That's why he was able to hear.
If he gets really scared, he can even see us.
1 should have brought a bag. - Josetta, enough. Let's go!
Josetta...
Let's take the rest tomorrow. Come fast.
They think that no one is seeing all this.
'Is there music up there?"
So they can see us?
Grandpa...
When they see us, won't they see us in colour, like this?
No!
Those who are alive are fools!
They can see us dressed only in whites.
Grandpa...
how do we go to Fida's house?
Do we just close our eyes and pray 'Fida's house'?
or..
if we run fast, fly up and say 'Fida's house'...
would we reach Fida's house? - Donkey!
Come!
When are we going to reach there by foot?
Son...
You've come?
He just reached today.
What happened to you?
| fell from a tree.
Shouldn't you be careful?
Anyway, this is a good time.
Come!
Grandpa!
- Yes.
How do we differentiate between the living and the dead?
Isn't that easy?
If you see those who are living their lives to satisfy others,
without smiling or being happy, and with a grumpy face,
you can confirm that they're not dead.
But...
the ones who are happy, smiling, joking and mocking themselves,
for the blunders they did while they were alive, are the dead people.
Like us.
Shucks!
It's true.
Grandpa!
Don't leave me amongst these people who are alive!
Come.
You idiot!
You can't enter so easily.
Then?
Should we wait here until someone comes & opens the door?
Someone will come.
| shouldn't have died.
There, it's open!
Hey! Come!
Dude, come in. Come on!
Why did | open this now?
Go up, fast.
What is he doing?
He fell on his head, right? Something has happened to him.
What? - She is inside.
There.
I think she's sleeping.
She hasn't slept yet.
Did you see that?
What?
You must have forgotten it here earlier.
No.
What can be done with that?
'Like a closed door opening again, did you call me again?"
'If you search with your inner eye, you can find me right here with you'
'Like the kites from our childhood, didn't we fly together in the sky?*
'To shatch the box of sweets and run away, haven't we sneaked out together?"
"Yet, why didn't you reveal the love that's within you?"
'Have we been separated today, to two different worlds, to unseen distances?"
'Are tears the only chains binding us together?"
'Like a loose kite, you're flying in the wind'
'This world is soaring high, this shore of happiness'
'I'll make nests with leaves in all directions'
"You should renounce everything, and come here'
Manoharan...
Who are these people?
Chetta, we are coming from the other shore.
We heard that one guy is pursuing a girl who's alive, even after he's dead...
Is he in this village? -Yes, indeed!
Why?
Can we meet him once?
'To go forward, joining hands, in the same rhythm'
'To share the same spring season'
'Cross that cozy and cool bridge, and come here'
'I'll make a path with flowers until the moment we reunite'
'Are tears the only chains binding us together?"
Oh Lord!
Jabbar Ikka!
Jabbar Ikka... - (Chanting prayers)
It's me, Vaishakhan.
| had died, 2 days back.
You wouldn't have known, since you were on the other shore.
Grandpa is here with me.
And even my old buddy, Mustafa.
I'm doing good, Ikka.
Then come.
| totally forgot about you, Jabbar Ikka.
Wajida!
| have to say something to Fida here.
- (Praying) - Call her. Fast.
Hey!
You fool! He is a crook!
Yes! A big fraud!
It started ever since she came from the other shore.
Something like a sickness...
She's always sneezing.
I think some evil spirit has possessed her.
Please check, Jabbar Ikka.
There was one.
But...
he ran away, as soon as he saw me.
You know how many days | was down with fever, because of him?
He is like that. He cheats people.
Don't worry. There won't be any problem hereafter.
Jabbar...
It's me, Sreedharan.
Tie that dog outside.
Djinn won't be happy in its presence.
Konapri, wait here.
Sit.
Did you check? - Usually, the Djinn doesn't say such things.
But this is for your sake...
Seventy.
| see that it's seventy.
That means...
you won't be lucky to see the sunset on your 71st birthday.
That's your fate.
Don't worry. There's a lot of time left.
Sreedharetta!
In a way, 1 think it was for the good.
What was for the good? Nothing was for the good.
Not that. | was saying something else...
You needn't say anything.
Have you even heard of such a thing anywhere?
If you're dead, you should live like a dead man.
This is like cheating death.
Sreedharan should be blamed for all this.
Me?
Yes. Grandpa, you're the reason behind all this. - Me?
Then what?
Do you think that no one saw you making this boy break into Beewi's house?
Why are we all blaming a person, like the people who are alive?
Think what can be done next.
What can be done!
Let that girl die and come here.
Yes.
Until then, he can't leave from here.
This is the village, right? He won't have to wait long.
Then let Sreedharettan stay here. He will have company, right?
But there's a problem.
She is from Beewi's house, right?
She won't come here that quickly.
Haven't you seen that Beewi? She's around 90 years old.
That's true.
The women of my house don't die very quickly.
So what?
He will wait.
Right Vaishakhan?
What will he wait for?
Yeah right! That's not possible.
Then what? Can you Kill the girl instead?
This seems like our necessity now, Sreedharan.
Isn't killing her a good idea?
Well...
That's an idea that can be considered.
Yes.
That's something that no dead person has done.
Still, Killing is too much, like what humans...
No! There's nothing wrong. They will be coming here, right?
Yes.
That girl would be happy about it.
Then Sreedharetta...
why don't you think about it?
Think about what?
Have you all gone nuts?
To kill someone?
| haven't done it while | was alive! And now?
This isn't like that, right?
Then do one thing.
All of you go and kill her.
Just because he said something stupid in this naive age,
you all are supporting that?
My dear Vareethettan, you also joined them, huh?
Didn't you die along time back? Haven't you gained any sense?
That's what | told you earlier.
What did you say?
Anyway, I'm going to the other shore.
| just said what | felt. Do whatever you want. - Konapri, come.
Mustafa, are you coming?
If you're coming, come!
I'm going to the other shore anyway. Do whatever you want.
They want to kill her, it seems. - Grandpa!
Senseless people...
No! No one has to come. Hold on tight here.
You know how many trips I've been on, before dying?
Now, it's been 34 years since | saw the other shore.
Those who came after me, said bye and left.
| waited for him...
Who asked you to wait until | came?
You could have gone wherever you wanted, right?
Who waited?
He should be able to leave from here, right?
Why? - Because of you.
Because of me? -Yes.
If you booze and cry out saying 'Grandpa',
how canl go?
So you didn't leave, seeing my grief?
It's not that, you idiot.
If someone remembers us, even after we're dead,
we can't leave from here.
Since you hadn't forgotten him,
he couldn't even see the boat that goes to the other shore.
And he wanted to go on trips!
Otherwise, you should die.
So you were waiting for me to die?
| could go whenever | wanted to.
Within 2 weeks after | died, | was able to see the boat.
At least you could have remembered me.
Mustafa...
Can you see anything there?
You fool! I'm asking you! Can you see anything?
| can see.
You can?
Sreedharan!
Grandpa...
Aren't you waiting to go to the other shore?
Aren't you leaving?
No.
I thought I'll leave on the next boat. Right?
We are coming from Goa now.
From Goa.
It's the season there now.
Everyone is celebrating.
Kids these days...
Did you stop going on trips?
| don't see you there.
We didn't come back because we wanted to.
It's my death anniversary, day after.
I thought I'll see everyone and go again.
They will remember us only on such days, right?
See you then!
Shucks!
But... who would it be?
Huh?
Don't you know who that is, after talking for so long?
Not that.
That's my grandpa.
Grandpa? - Yes.
He doesn't look that old.
He died when my father was 12 years old.
1 know him from his pictures.
It's not that.
Not letting me leave from here, who is remembering me, apart from him?
Who would it be?
It must be Fida.
Fida.
Must be Fida.
Grandpa, shall | ask you something?
Oh!
So that's the matter.
In a way, what they said is not wrong.
Hey! Can't you wait for some more time?
Isn't that what you should do?
Do you know how many years | waited for her?
Look! She's blushing!
| can't wait until she becomes like this. - Grandpa,
he says that he can't wait for so long.
Not that, It's because | love her so much, grandpa.
Yes. It's because he loves her that much, grandpa.
If that's the case,
as far as | know,
there's only one person who can talk to people who are alive.
Who is that?
Kooman.
Kooman?
The Big Kooman.
Big?
Anyone wants to hear about a death?
We... - We need a favour from you, Big Kooman.
(Speaks in Gibberish)
1 didn't think he would be so old.
He's saying something like an abuse.
Grandpa, he's leaving. Ask him!
What do | ask him?
He doesn't understand our language.
Oh no!
Why did you stop here, Sukuetta?
Josetta, do one thing. Get down here.
Aren't we going to Sulaiman Ikka's house?
Well, it's okay if | go alone.
You may get down here.
Now I'll sit here & snheeze for some time.
Sukumaran, you came early? -Alittle.
Wajida, Sukumaran is here.
Come, sit down.
Jose didn't come?
Jose is not feeling too well.
I sent him to the doctor.
You both are always seen together, right?
That's why | asked.
People say that you eat and sleep together.
They're lying! He sleeps at his own house.
He said 5 o'clock and came at 3 o'clock itself?
Nothing is ready here.
| don't know what to do, oh God!
What do | tell her now?
This bride-seeing ceremony wasn't necessary how.
What to do now? Let's take it as it comes.
Fida...
Fida, dear...
Fida...
Dear...
You'll get it from me!
Fida...
-What is it, mom? - Dear, someone is here to see you.
- Come downstairs, fast. -Who is it, mom?
And yeah...
wear the red dress that dad brought from the other shore.
Subhra...
Did you start preparing the tea?
Get the sweets container too.
Who has come now?
Open your eyes, dear...
-Fida... - Dear...
Did she see me?
Fida, dear...
Sulaiman Ikka, shall we pour some water on her? - Shut up!
Open your eyes, dear... - Get up, dear.
Fida, dear...
Wake up, dear...
Dear...
She has opened her eyes.
Come on! Get up. - Iblis...
Get up!
Iblis... - Someone scared her.
Who's that?
He must be here somewhere.
He hasn't gone downstairs. I'm sure,
Sister, can you get me a stick? - Call Jabbar.
Why do you need Jabbar?
Don't fool around. Go fast!
Go fast. -1 won't go.
Grandpa!
- Grandpa! -Isn't that Abubacker?
Abubacker!
Where is he running off to?
Grandpa!
If she saw you, why didn't you tell her immediately?
How? She fainted as soon as she saw me.
Hey!
Even when she was unconscious, | stood there for long, not moving an inch.
Thinking that she would see me again.
But...
Why is he so hyper?
Hey! She can't see you often, just like that.
This itself.. 1 don't know...
She saw me, grandpa. | swear!
Jabbarlkka, shall I get a juice for the Djinn as well?
Yes, please.
But, put less sugar in that one. -1 know that.
The crook has reached.
| saw her lying unconscious when she went to take a bath.
This seems to be inauspicious, Jabbar.
What to do now?
There's no problem that the Djinn can't cure, Sulaiman.
I'll get one more amulet each for both of them.
Hey! Come on!
Grandpa...
Beewi?
Beewi started walking again?
Grandpa!
Grandpa, come.
It won't happen today. -I'll go alone.
No one has slept here.
-1 can't go alone. Come, grandpa. - You leave for now.
Come another day.
Come, grandpa! Let's go inside. - Look at him!
Shucks!
What were you looking at, grandpa?
Well, what she said...
What she said?
She was talking to me! -Huh?
How's that possible?
That's a blessing from God.
A great fortune that only people who crossed 90 are blessed with.
As you said...
they can see dead people and talk to them.
When we grow too old,
anyone would wish to see those who were with us in our past, right?
God must be fulfilling those wishes for them.
Well, Sreedharan...
You had cheated even the Beewi during your younger days, huh?
Beewi, come here.
Let's all be happy!
Nabisa.
Ram la.
Beevathu...
All of you are here.
All of you!
Come, Beewi.
Come!
You know that I'm not too old yet, right?
Yet, my husband went behind some other woman.
That's what | couldn't bear.
My wait became useless.
What do | lack?
You tell me.
It's because my husband did that,
| agreed to come with you, when you persuaded me.
Are you listening to what I'm saying?
| want to live with you for a long time.
Can you give me a kiss?
I'll give you a kiss.
In return...
will you do what | say?
1 will do whatever you say.
Hey! Look!
Hey!
Which year is this?
Yes, that one.
Take five of them.
Take it.
Where is the yellow Arali flower? -It's in the garden.
Othalanga? (Suicide fruit)
It's over there.
Okay.
Wajida... - What is it?
- Come here. - Coming.
Beewi...
Come. It's time.
Come fast.
Wait, I'll come now.
Are you selling it?
Oh no!
Fida, dear...
Come here.
This will be awesome.
Fida!
Beewi is calling you.
She must be sleeping with the door shut.
He will ruin this.
Oh my God!
Run!
He didn't die.
Beewi, come on! Cut it!
Cut it, | say!
Cut it.
Grandpa! Grandpa!
What? - Not like this, grandpa.
You get lost!
Cut it, Beewi...
There! It's falling down!
Oh my God!
Who is this clown?
Isn't that a king?
It's been 300 years since | departed.
Because of this damned statue, these scoundrels never forgot me.
Their political discussions were under that statue, right?
I'll tell you the truth.
| was staying in hiding, out of shame.
Now because of you, | got salvation from this land.
Had | been alive, | would have given you some reward.
You will always have my blessings.
Shall ll leave, son?
Son?
He also left.
How many days has it been?
My husband would return soon. -Go up!
We started this saying that we should scare that girl once.
Now what all are you making me do?
Don't make noise. Walk!
Keep it there.
Close the door.
Come.
Come. I've kept some Neyyappam aside for you.
I'll come. You leave, Beewi.
| won't leave unless you come.
I'm coming.
What is this?
No problem here. We'll handle it.
Go down carefully. If you fall, I'll end up with you!
This is why | always tell everyone,
to click a good photo before dying.
Or else, such a photo would be hung on your wall.
Look! This is very clear.
So Sukumaran didn't know this job very well.
Such a crook, this Sukumaran.
If he is here somewhere, give him a mouthful, Jabbar.
He is not here.
Fida, lunch is served.
Pour it. Pour the whole thing.
Is this enough?
Will at least this one work?
It's very powerful. Just a touch on the tongue is enough...
Come fast! Don't stand there. - She's coming.
She's coming.
Come. Let's go and stand there.
Konapri, walk.
Hey! It will be difficult to watch. You also come.
Walk fast.
Stop staring at it, and eat it, dear.
Suhra, keep this there.
And bring the oil here.
Sister, I'm taking the rice water.
Such rotten luck!
Let's stop this, grandpa.
This is not right.
What?
However good you claim this place to be,
she can come here only if she dies, right?
Death is really painful.
So?
Let her die when she has to die. -Oh!Is it?
That's your stand now?
You will have to roam around for 60 years.
I'm ready to do that.
By then, someone would marry her & take her away.
Then there's no point if she dies.
Fida won't allow all that.
Do you want Neyyappam?
Why don't you eat Neyyappam now?
You used to like it a lot, right? - Yeah right!
Get going, Beewi.
You were of no use to us...
And you're bringing Neyyappams?
Get going!
Stop staring and take her away, dad! - Stop there, you...
Stop there, you!! I'll kill you! - Beewi has gone mad again.
Beewi, no!
Oh no! - Grandpa, Beewi!
Beewi?
Mom, Beewi fell into the well.
Hey!
Isn't anyone here?
Hey! Call someone!
Dear.. - Beewi?
Beewi, can you hear me? - Mom...
Mom, come fast.
Beewil!
Beewi?
Huh? What's that?
Beewi?
Jump!
Can't see anything!
Beewi!
Get that basket, fast!
Sheesh! | shouldn't have said that!
You shouldn't have said that, grandpa.
After all, Beewi helped us a lot, right?
Yes. Beewi must have felt so sad.
Come on! Pull it up!
Slowly!
- Oh God! - Hold me!
Who is this?
When did you fall into this? -Who is this, dear?
I don't know. | saw Beewi falling into this.
Make him lie down there.
Put him down.
- Thank you.
Who is this?
| haven't seen him here earlier.
He must have jumped to save her hearing Fida's cry.
The villagers had to save the one who jumped to save her.
Here comes Beewi.
What did you do, Beewi?
Just because grandpa said something...
What if something had...
We're in deep trouble!
Oops.
Nice, right?
Mom made it.
Not that.
This village...
If this had happened on the other shore,
| would have had to eat this, attend the funeral prayer, and go home.
Who is she to you, Fida?
Grandma.
Everyone is so modern here.
No crying, no problems...
No shouting and arguing!
Very nice!
Altogether, it's all very nice. 1 like it.
It's very nice.
Everything is very nice until you die.
After that, you're just a corpse.
I'm leaving.
Beewi, wait...
Don't be sad listening to all this.
It's all good from here on.
There's so much that you're yet to see!
- Are you saying the truth?
I've seen you outside, Fida.
- Then let's live here for a long time.
| know everything about this place.
If you're okay with this, you needn't come to the other shore.
Like | said...
I really like this place.
This won't happen, dude. You come!
Do you have anything to say, Fida?
Yes.
There was someone who loved me a lot.
There was, means?
He died. - Oh! He's dead?
He tried to say it to me, in every way he could.
But | didn't understand anything then.
Even when | understood, 1 didn't feel any love towards him.
He was a greedy fellow.
He always keeps eating something or the other.
| started loving him, only after he died.
What's the point now though?
When | cried thinking of him, mom said that some devil had possessed me.
I've seen many who cry thinking of dead people, on the other shore.
But no one said that they were possessed!
If you can take me to the other shore from here, I'm okay with this.
Hey!
Don't you know Sulaiman's father Pokkar?
The mad-man Pokkar.
There's a story that he used to say.
It's a made-up story.
This earth was the heaven that God created for humans, long back.
The Iblis, who didn't like it since then...
misguided all the humans, and turned them against God.
That's when God gave us a curse, that is death.
Fearing death, and because of our behaviour,
this Earth which was a heaven, turned into hell.
After realizing their mistake, when humans sought forgiveness to God,
God gave them salvation from the curse.
Once you die, the hell turns into heaven again.
But along with that, he said just one thing.
You will forget what | just said.'
And thus, until death we lived in hell, and after that, in heaven.
Out of the guilt that he was the reason for this fate of the humans,
Iblis started telling humans about the story of the salvation from this curse.
But no one believed him.
Finally, the Iblis started making humans fight between each other.
Thus began wars and revolts.
Those who died, returned to the old heaven.
Iblis became happy seeing that.
Do you know what that mad-man Pokkar calls you?
Iblis...
The Iblis, who tried to kill someone and bring that person to this heaven.
The boat was late, right?
Since you were getting late, we started the programme. No problem, right?
No problem at all!
Look straight. Smile!
Nice. Okay!
You're just sitting here? Don't you want a photo?
Here. The piece is over?
Go and bring it. - Okay.
Give him 2 big piece.
Eat it.
Have some water.
I'll get the pieces now. Give it here.
Hey Jaffar Ikka!
Son, have it.
Thanks.
Have you studied books?
I've been to Aligarh.
To study?
No, just to see the place.
Oh! On a trip?
Yes! On a trip.
There are no Madrasas or schools here, right?
That's better.
Kids are struggling on the other shore.
What's the point in reading books?
For that, you have to go on trips.
You should see a lot of places, and learn from the people there.
Have you seen people who walk through fire, Fida?
Have you seen people who eat dogs and cats?
Trains...
Ships...
If you read books, you won't know all this.
Leave it.
Have you seen dead people, Fida?
Have you seen people who can talk to them?
Yes. Jabbar Ikka.
He can see dead people.
There is such a person here?
Then he must be seeing a lot of people, huh?
The dead people are more in number here, right?
Won't they go to heaven and hell?
Jabbar Ikka says that only those who have unfulfilled desires are left here.
He's bluffing.
All the dead people are right here.
They won't go anywhere.
Well...
That's what | have heard.
They can see us, and they can hear what we're saying.
Is that so?
But have you seen dead people?
Then?
I've seen people who have seen dead people.
Who's that?
The Fakir who sells Attar (perfumes).
What else has the Fakir told you? Let me hear that.
Well..
If someone we really love, dies...
they won't go, leaving us.
They will be with us, all the time.
Someone has fooled him. - That's what!
Can we see them?
Yes. You can!
You can see them sometimes.
| have seen my father.
When | got scared of a nightmare & woke up,
my father was right in front of me.
Didn't you ask whether your father was doing good?
But | fainted immediately.
Son, don't make fun of him.
Jabbar has been blessed by God.
There's a Djinn inside him.
Inside?
Why? Did he eat the Djinn?
Did you swallow him?
He's just saying that there's a Djinn. There's no proof, right?
Do you have any proof for what all you just said?
Do you?
Or is it just hearsay from what the Fakir said?
Sometimes, don't you feel like someone has called you?
Calling your name, Fida!
It's them!
If they are next to us, it feels like a breeze hitting on our face.
Sometimes, they smell like goats...
Sometimes...
See! Sometimes you would sneeze like this, for no reason.
It's because of them.
See! See!
Someone who loves Fida, is standing right here.
Didn't | warn you, Sulaiman?
Not to have any relationships with people from the other shore.
Huh? When?
Hey kiddo!
Don't try to misguide us after learning some nonsense from the other shore!
No one will listen to what you're saying, or will stand up for you!
Fida!
She is inside.
It's because of you.
Fida, dear...
Open the door!
Will you stop bluffing?
Didn't tell you that she's protected by the Diinn, Sulaiman?
Now look!
You went to change clothes? - Djinn saved her.
She has died with a smile!
Once they reach here,
everyone is happy!
Even our Konapri...
Then while you're alive, what the hell is your problem, you @$@%!!%?
