Ladies and gentlemen!
People of Kummattikadavu!
I would like to inform you
that a drama will be performed in the evening
at the Kummattikadavu junction.
We welcome all of you
to Kummattikadavu
to watch the drama and enjoy the evening.
"This is not a drama but a story of the people's agony."
"The story of our life, not a drama."
"This is not a drama but a story of the people's agony."
"The story of our life, not a drama."
The stage is ready. Let the characters enter.
The pride of the people! The leader of the country!
The honourable panchayat member of Kummattikadavu is arriving.
Dear friends. In this country
I would like to ask.. In this country
If I'm right, I would like to specify..
Dear friends. I'm a little busy.
We are conducting a meeting in order to solve
the rising problems in Kummattikadavu.
Thank you. Greetings!
The prominent businessman of our country.
The king of corruption! The millionaire!
He is arriving!
How are you, leader? Are there any issues in Kummattikadavu?
By your kindness, there are no problems here.
The election is near. The expenses are rising.
What does it have to do with me?
We have reached a contract to put stones in the sea.
I'll give you a part of the share. - It's not enough!
I'll give you a license to cut down all these forests.
Not enough! - Then, I will give you
the whole land of Kummattikadavu.
"These are the wolves who drain our wealth."
"These are the devils who laugh while we cry."
"These are the wolves who drains our wealth."
"These are the devils who laugh while we cry."
The people who have the right to vote.
Dear residents of Kummattikadavu.
We've seen a lot of politicians who
are trying to ruin this land.
So, I request you to show your protest
by expelling those politicians from the governance
in the coming election.
If you want progress in this country
we need a guy who is smart and can act independently
as the panchayat member of Kummattikadavu.
In the blazing fire of youth
let these dummies turn into ashes.
Let analyse the effects of the current education system
on the artistic skills of a student.
There are three art subjects.
Drawing, music and literature.. - Where is Appukuttan Nair?
No, Brother. What's the matter?
Viswanathan's friends were at the junction
doing nonsense in the name of drama and ballet.
What can brother do about it?
He has gone for an interview.
Yes, he is as wicked as Appukuttan Nair.
He is the one who is supporting his friends to do this.
And that in front of my shop! - When did you come?
Keep this inside. - Hey, Appukuttan Nair. - Yes?
I want to know something.
What are your son's intentions? - So, you saw it!
Narayani, listen. People were applauding
the drama which was scripted by Viswanathan.
His ideas were brilliant! What a composition!
It was fantastic!
It's because of you that your son is doing all this nonsense.
He is young. Let's him have some freedom.
You might be careless about his matter but I'm not.
It's my daughter who is going to marry him.
What if he becomes a minister one day?
We can travel in a government vehicle.
There is no use in talking to him. I'm leaving, Narayani.
Just advise him if you can. - Okay, Brother.
Your brother is scared that our son will leave his daughter
after becoming a minister. - No! - Come on!
Is master at home? I came there but didn't see him.
When did you come? - Today.. no, tomorrow.
Can you give me some offering?
Are you going to the temple? - Okay, I'll have it from there.
Don't worry, take it. - No, it's okay.
Anyway, the drama was superb! - Of course! - You were the only
one who acted badly. - In fact, we were saved
as the natives didn't know much about street plays.
We should inform the people that it's Viswanathan who is going
to be the independent candidate. - It's better not to tell them
than telling them right now. - What did you mean?
It's better not to tell them than telling them right now.
What the hell are you saying?
I can't understand what you are saying.
Don't make me mad! - It was not intentional.
I talk like this because I talk like this..
Viswanathan gave this for you. It's the matter for a notice.
To hell with the notice! People now print notices
as big as blackboards. People won't even hesitate
to put this notice in the dust bin.
This is going to work out for sure!
I've never seen a notice like this. - What's on it?
'The intense atmosphere of the panchayat election'
'in Kummattikadavu.'
'A smart looking man came slowly to the scene'
'with the opulence of the shining sun.'
It might be Viswanathan. - 'Yes, he is.'
'People call him as A. Viswanathan.'
'A group of women came towards him.'
'He stopped on seeing them.'
'Soudamini of Manimangalam asked him'
'to become a candidate for the election.'
She'll say it for sure. She has feelings for him. - Right!
'Mrs. Annamma of Malikapurakkal said that he was their candidate.'
Was he suspended from the college for abusing her daughter?
Will she say something like that? - Why do you care? Read it!
'Subaida of Thunduparambu asked him to participate'
'as it was their dream.' - Did she say that? - Yes.
She won't say that. - Why? - She will never say that!
What if she had? - It's impossible.
Subaida wanted me to be the candidate.
To hell with her dreams!
With your face, we won't get a single vote.
Is it? - 'And also, Amina, Sujatha, Mary'
'and Shylaja told him to participate in the election'
'as it was their dream. He walked away without replying.'
'Will the dreams of Soudamini, Annamma, Subaida, Amina, Sujatha'
'and Mary come true?'
Will it? - Will it?
It might!
Is this a love letter or an election notice?
Those guys might have done it just for fun.
If he wants to be a candidate, I won't oppose him.
I won't oppose him either!
But we need a strong candidate in our constituency.
People here know that I have to win for that.
What's the use of fulfilling the dreams of the women in the village?
Your son will be in trouble.
There are a lot of other women to dream of him. Spare me, please.
Don't be angry. It's just a trick to win the elections.
Do you know what did he say before printing the notices?
The first name in the notice should be yours, Soudamini.
Don't bother about others dreaming about him.
He only dreams of one person.
That's you.
Tell him that I want to meet him.
Hey, look at this!
Look at what your son has done. Read it!
Let me see, Dad.
The women of this village dream of him, it seems!
Is he Lord Krishna?
He could have mentioned your name at least.
That's what I said! Has he mentioned any of us?
Why are you telling me all this?
How many times have I told you to advise him?
Advice? I know what to tell him!
Let him come!
Look here, mom. Soudamini, Annamma, Subaida..
Oh, no! He could have kept my name, too!
It is better if he does not come now.
Else, people will ask a lot of questions.
It might be difficult for him to answer all that.
Let's print another notice instead.
He should decide on the matter on the notice, though.
It's better if we write the matter than he writes the matter than we..
Stop talking nonsense!
I was just saying..
Today's notice is a suspense, whether dreams come true or not.
Let us reveal that suspense on the next notice.
Sure! Let's do that. - Yes.
The dreams of Soudamini, Annamma and Subaida.
The dream that Mary Chacko and Shailaja had.
Will their dream come true? Master is announcing his candidature.
To hell with his master! Who is he master to?
All he did was to teach in a private college for a while!
Things are like this now! Anybody who has money can be a candidate!
Then why don't you contest?
All political parties have ruled and ruined our village.
Let's give him a chance now.
He can rule only if he wins the elections.
It has been many days since his candidature was announced.
Nobody has seen him ask for votes!
That's right!
Dear people of Kummattikadavu.
The people who contest in the elections in ward number one
in Kummattikadavu panchayat will be brought before you together
Give me room.
On that stage
the rising hero of this village
someone who is contesting for the first time
Mr. Viswanathan, will speak to you.
He will make it clear that
Uthkandan Pillai and Aama Thoma will not win this time.
In the public meeting at the temple ground in the evening
the heartthrob and pride of Kummattikadavu
Mr. Viswanathan will.. Beat the drums, please.
'Meet the candidates.' Hence
I have only one thing to request
of my dear voters.
Please cast your votes for the tortoise symbol
and help me win this election. Thank you.
Live long Thomachan..
Hello. What's this? - Live long Thomachan..
Tortoise is our symbol.. Live long Thomachan..
Next.. - Tortoise is our symbol..
Tortoise is our symbol. Live long Thomachan.. - Next
the one who is contesting for the fourth time
Mr. Uthkandan Pillai will talk to you now.
Uthkandan Pillai, our hero.. - Uthkandan Pillai, our hero..
Lead us without fear.. - Lead us without fear..
Live long Uthkandan Pillai!
Respected voters
I am someone who works hard day and night
to lead this village to prosperity.
I am familiar with everyone and everything in this village.
I don't think I need an introduction.
He's not here yet. - Wait.
Everything you see here in this village
is the result of my hard work, dear people.
Give her a garland. - Here.
Please greet Viswanathan with this when he comes.
Child, hold this, please. Here.
You have voted for.. - Please distribute it over there.
Okay. - Take it and go.
I am thankful for that. The facilities that the panchayat..
Dear women, please move aside.
You have to give this to him on the stage, Soudamini.
Oh, no! I can't do that in front of all these people.
Anyway, you've to do this sometime. Then why not now? - Stop it!
You don't have to do it if you are shy.
Thousands of women are waiting here to greet him with a garland.
This girl is waiting to grab the opportunity.
Can you do it, please? - Oh, no! I can't.
I will find somebody else, then.
I take this opportunity to say that I am the only person
who is concerned about the future of this village.
Uthkandan Pillai is about to finish his speech.
Master is not here yet!
Where the hell is he? If doesn't turn up, we are screwed!
I hope that all you good people will vote for me
and help me win the election. With that, I conclude my words.
Thank you!
Live long Uthkandan Pillai.. - Next..
Live long Uthkandan Pillai.. - ...our third candidate
Viswanathan will talk to you. - Live long Uthkandan Pillai..
Where is your boss? - Go away, scoundrel!
Where is Viswanathan?
Go and howl at them! Go!
Please don't throw stones at me. He will come now.
Oh, no! Don't!
Calm down, please!
He has come!
Our very dear
Viswanathan is here!
The paths of Kummattikadavu have been blessed with his presence.
Here comes Mr. Viswanathan.
Please shower him with your blessings.
Move aside.. - Our village's pride..
Give me room, please. - ...is arriving onto the stage.
Dear people and friends
the pride of Kummattikadavu..
The heartthrob of Kummattikadavu..
Mr. Viswanathan is on his way to the stage.
The land awakens as he comes!
Here comes our hero like a lightning bolt.
Here he comes promising to develop our village.
Here comes Mr. Viswanathan on his victory chariot!
The pride and heartthrob of our village is here.
He comes in a bullock cart, which is also his symbol in the election.
Long live Viswanathan.. - Long live Viswanathan..
Long live Viswanathan. Long live the bullock cart!
Long live Viswanathan.. - Keep drumming!
Long live Viswanathan! Long live the bullock cart!
Long live Viswanathan.. - Follow the slogan!
Long live Viswanathan.. - Long live Viswanathan..
Ask them to stop. - Stop..
My dear beautiful women.
My dear fellow men.
All the people of Kummattikadavu, whom I love and who love me.
I don't know to give a loud speech.
I don't think I can deceive the people of this village
with complicated words.
Dear people, I am contesting this election without the support
of any political party. If you vote for me and make me win
I would like to do some good things for this village and its people.
I would like to present the things I intend to do
in the form of a manifesto.
People who came before me must have made many promises.
But let me tell you this.
All the unemployed youth in the village will be given jobs
is not what I intend to say. - Clap!
An airport will be built in the field out there
is not what I intend to say.
Corruption, bribery, black markets, smuggling, drug dealing
and terrorism in this village will be under control.
Law and order will be brought into the village.
All things will be sold
through government stores at feasible rates.
We're promising you something that others haven't.
All poor girls in this panchayat
will be married away at the panchayat's expense.
Hail Viswanathan..
When I heard them cheering for him
I had goose bumps.
He's my son.
You're sitting idle here.
Now, I may be an assistant.
But I'm still from a reputed family.
That's legacy.
He has got a bit of it.
He'll be tired from the election work. Make him something to eat.
I saw him, Mom.
He's running around for a 1000 things.
He may not come because he's busy.
Oh, God. He'll become weak if he does so
by the time the election is done.
Oh, Father. Sit down.
What's special? - We're building an orphanage.
I thought of collecting money from the people. - George? - Yes.
Get my cheque book.
Yes. - You didn't need to come here for this.
I would've sent someone there. How much do you need?
Your wish.
Here's Rs. 25,000. Is it enough? - Thank you so much.
God bless you and your family. - Amen.
I think he's there. - He'll give us a big amount.
Yes, I heard, he gave Rs. 25,000 to the other guy.
Is it? - Then, we'll get Rs. 15,000, at least.
You don't need to come here if you need anything else.
Just give me a call and I'll get it there. - Okay.
Peace be unto you. - God bless you.
Hello.
Why have you come?
As a representative of the younger generation
and the poor people of Kummattikadavu..
So, are you a representative of the poor? - No..
As a representative of the rich too. - The face of
the youth against corruption.
Him. - Yes. - Nothing like that.
You're a lucky guy. - How?
You're about to get a golden opportunity.
What is it? - We've decided to inaugurate
our election with your donation.
Many prominent people asked this of us.
It's better if done by you than by them than..
Is it? Which party are you from?
None. - What? - I'm an independent candidate.
Nobody is supporting us. I'm alone. Our motto is a bullock cart.
So, you want to uplift the nation, right?
Correct. - Yes.
A lot of people are competing from the ruling and opposition parties.
I've donated more than enough to them.
You must donate to us, too.
What's the use? - Yes..
No matter what I give, will you win?
So, I have no money to give you.
Go and do something.
The voice of change has started.
I won't give you a penny. - For this.. - I'll unleash my dog.
We'll have to meet again. - Tiger!
Oh, God. - Move. - Son of a bitch.
I think it's his last ride.
Like father, like son.
Once you become the panchayat president
we'll take revenge on them. - Correct.
You stay here, Hameed. I'll meet dad and come. - Okay.
Don't scold me, Dad.
Our pot farm in Kaduvakunnu was burned down by the police.
Why are you tense about it?
They'll destroy pot farms in government forests.
It's their duty. - No, isn't it our property?
How much land did we have there? - Seventy five acres.
Don't we have around 2,000 acres in the next forest? - Yes.
Did they mind it? - No.
Yes. The forest officers take their salary from the government.
If they don't at least make news once in a while
the government and the people will think they're doing nothing.
Don't they need to get promotions?
Do this. Have a couple of drinks
to release your tension.
Can you take those shades off? You look like a blind man!
You've taken me wrong.
I threw that necklace towards you.
Then, how did it fall on her? - It was the wind.
How was my performance in 'Meet the Candidates'?
Don't think I'm flattering you!
The entry in the bullock cart.. How could you?
But some say it was good.
Yes..
Then, you must see what the other guys are doing.
We must do all this to thrive in politics. - Yes..
You can collect and spend money in politics. - No.
We're not like that.
For the people and their welfare.. - Enough..
Are you sure you will win this election?
For sure! But with a small margin.
Don't think you can fool people like this.
You must help the people to get votes.
Correct.
I have an idea. What if we give away a kilo of rice
to each person? Will that help?
Awesome. Let's give two kilos of oil, too. - Great. - Shut up!
Do you have any ideas that would not bankrupt us?
No? - No. - I'm worried about our nation.
There are no problems here
for us to solve.
There are some things for which we'd get help from the government.
Social service. Cleaning the roads. What don't we think about that?
Yes, that's good.
It's better to serve by cleaning than to serve nothing than to..
Sorry, go ahead. Clean the roads.
What if it's forest-related? We'll plant trees.
Awesome. - Yes.
The cattle would graze on it as soon as we plant it.
Don't talk nonsense. - And we'll lose the vote of the person
who falls into it.
There is only one way.
What?
What is it? - The first one in our manifesto.
Here comes a group of youngsters
with a strong ideology
to rescue the people of Kummattikadavu
from the hands of corrupted men. - Oh, God.
The pit.. - You should've warned me. I got scared.
Come.. - Like I dug it.
'Office Corruption Rates. Officer - Rs. 25. Clerk - Rs. 15.'
'Peon - Rs. 5. Income Certificate Special Rate - Rs. 50.'
The corrupt.. - Go to hell..
Responsible voters
Corruption and bribing are killing
Kummattikadavu like a cancer.
We've decided to strike against it.
Corruption started ages ago. Why are you doing it now?
That is.. - To get votes. Right?
It's better to strike than to get votes than..
We're doing it for the welfare of the people.
And not to get votes.
No, Vijayan. Say nothing.
There will be people who don't trust in our sincerity.
They'll understand the value of my words after the election.
Then, they'll say that Vishwanathan was a good guy.
The development of Kummattikadavu is important than votes for us.
Come on.
I said it unknowingly..
Wait.. Before you put it in..
What is this? - Don't you know? Ladies fingers.
Is it? I thought it was man's fingers!
How much does it weigh?
Half a kilo. - Is this half a kilo? Is this made of iron?
Weigh it once more. - Who're you to say that?
Who are we..
Who are we? How can you ask so to people
who've come forward to save this place
from the hands of corruption?
Half a kilo of ladies finger.
Women, look at half a kilo of ladies fingers.
We are all set
to make this village corruption-free.
As a kick-start for the campaign
we placed a board in front of the village office.
For the protection of consumers
we will try to do more social service
and.. It's time to reform the society.
Please come.
Come.. - Where is he? - He is coming.
You should display the price list in front of the shop. - What?
Please display it on a board. - Hey.
Then, tell this to Madhavan Pillai, too.
Of course, even he should do it.
Ask him to do it. - Okay.
It won't be fine if I say that. He will go. - Then, you go.
It's better you go and tell him about it.
That's better. - Okay. - Go. - Tell him.
Go. - Tell him. - Go!
Who wants me to put a price list in front of my shop?
I am the one who decides what to put in front of my shop.
No one else can advise me on that.
Right! Try to understand.
Who asked you to write on the compound wall of my house?
Who did it?
Is that you? - Not me. It's him. - No. - Then, it's our allies.
Allies? Who are they? - I mean, we have many allies.
Someone among them would have done that. - I am fed up with them.
Whoever it is
I want that to be removed today. - Sure, we will do it.
Oh! How dare they? Come on.
Basket.. - Sorry, I forgot.
How much is it? - The total bill for all four is Rs. 8.50.
Paramu Pillai, don't increase the price of snacks unnecessarily
We will make you put a price list here.
It's good that you kept a board in front of the village office.
So, it worked.
I am planning to create many changes in this village
in future.
"In a beautiful canoe.." - I'm glad that you did something good.
"Tell whether you.." - People were unaware about the formalities
like who should be bribed for doing things
in the village office and how much should be given.
As you put up the board there
the office is functioning smoothly.
It didn't work, right? - Yes. Come.
"The shores are embracing.." - It has become a disgrace.
Didn't I tell you
to distribute rice to the people for free.
You didn't listen to me.
This was shameful.
We are new to politics. Mistakes may happen.
Forget about it. It's over. Try not to do such blunders in future.
Even we had more promises
as per our election manifesto.
Let's plan with that. - Right!
I understood.. Aren't you planning to conduct communal marriages?
Damn! - I am ready for it.
Get lost! - Can't you be more sensible?
We have other plans. - What is it?
Let's plan something different from election campaigning.
Complete action.
Get me a pack of cigarettes.
Hey, are you busy with household work? - Yes.
Do you have stuff?
What do you mean? - Don't play games.
I mean Cannabis. - I stopped doing that business long ago.
Don't joke. We know the truth.
Hey, I am a regular customer here.
As we are busy campaigning, our leader wants to relax.
Yes. - Hey, give it to me.
Hey, give it to me, man.
What is this? - Give it!
It's original stuff.. - Oh..
Hey.. - Okay. - We got it. - He is selling drugs.
Yes. - Do you want to spoil the people here?
Bring him out! - Come out!
Come out.. - Come... - Please don't harm him.
God.. - Dear voters of Kummattikadavu village.
Oh, no. Please don't.. - We are acting strictly against
the sale of drugs that spoil youngsters. - Oh, no!
Oh, no. Don't take him. - It's time to reform the society.
Hey, no.. - Hold it..
Take him to the police station. - Okay. - Come.
'Police Station, Kummattikadavu.'
You have done a great job.
But you should express this sincerity even after the elections.
Sure, sir. Don't consider I am a politician
who changes his promises often and will act
as per the wish of our leaders.
I am contesting in this election without the support
of any political party.
As per the proverb, tiny drops of water make a mighty ocean.
Similarly, we want to contribute
for the upliftment of society.
It's time of reform in Kummattikadavu.
I have seen many people who are eager like you in the beginning.
Don't lose the spirit once you understand
the tactics in politics. - Never, sir.
We can understand the feelings of the lower class.
Politicians can't understand the feelings
of an unemployed youngster.
But we know that.
Experiences are the best teachers in life.
Take your seat. - Thank you, sir.
We never started this anti-drug, anti-corruption campaign suddenly.
His brother was a drug addict.
Yes.
Finally, he became insane and committed suicide.
We wish no one should ever have such a tragic experience.
Sorry, Mr. Viswanathan. I misunderstood you.
The society deserves the service of people like you.
I am offering my full support for your activities. - Thank you, sir.
'Vote for Viswanathan.'
"It's time for reform."
"It's time for a new leader to rule."
"It's the desire of a young man."
"It's his maiden attempt."
"Let's wipe out corruptions and scams forever."
"It's time for reform."
"It's time for a new leader to rule."
"It's for the sake of the society, for the bright future of people"
"that we are doing all this."
"It's for the sake of the society, for the bright future of people"
"that we are doing all this."
"Without any luxuries"
"we will sow the seeds of reform."
"Without relaxing"
"we will reap the crops of victory."
"Time has come to act wise and smart."
"It's time for reform."
"It's time for a new leader to rule."
Greetings.
Mister, cast your votes for the bullock cart symbol. - Okay.
Don't say okay. Promise us.
Okay. - We want you to assure us.
Okay..
Leave it. He is crazy. - Damn it!
"Fantasy blooms and imagination flourish."
"Life will be better and cheerful."
"Fantasy blooms and imagination flourish."
"Life will be better and cheerful."
"Don't step back until you find success."
"We can afford to lose."
"No doubts. No more confusion."
"We will not lower our flags."
"Time has come to act wise and smart."
"It's time for reform."
"It's time for a new leader to rule."
"It's the desire of a young man. It's his maiden attempt."
"Let's wipe out corruption and scams forever."
"It's time for reform."
"It's time for a new leader to rule."
He became very weak.
Whatever it is, he became famous as a leader.
Don't mock him. He will become famous. - Okay.
Tell her about it, Mom.
I will be the next president of our panchayat.
We will get to know that once the results are out. - Damn!
Hey, don't be so negative!
Let her talk.
Whatever you say, I am sure that I will win this election.
After that, I have to contest for assembly elections. - Go ahead..
I am sure that you won't win.
Don't laugh! Look at this, Mom!
They don't trust me.
Yes.. - I am not getting recognition in my own family.
Just now, some people had come
in search of you to collect money.
Don't try to escape now. I have already paid them.
I was telling about you, Dad.
Didn't I tell you, Mom? - What?
That dad loves me a lot.
Dear, don't try your tricks of praising me so much.
It is true that I paid them.
But once you become the panchayat president
I want you to settle my amount first.
I had to pay them Rs. 150. - How much? - Rs. 150.
So I need to give Rs. 150 to you and Rs. 250 to Mr. Pillai.
I will have to spend a lot.
Seriously! I see a bright future for him in politics.
Serve me dinner.
After the counting the first three booths
Viswanathan is leading Uthkandan Pillai by seven votes.
Long live Viswanathan! - Long live Viswanathan!
Hey, go and burst crackers. Go!
No need. Let us wait until the other booths are counted.
There is no need to wait until then.
We are going to get them.
After that counting is done, Mr. Viswanathan
will win this election with a lead of at least 70 votes. - Yes.
Long live Viswanathan! - Long live Viswanathan!
We are now left with the counting in just one booth.
Uthkandan Pillai is leading by four votes.
Long live Uthkandan Pillai! - Long live Uthkandan Pillai!
In panchayat ward number 1, A. Viswanathan and Uthkandan Pillai
are in a tie with 452 votes each even after the recounting.
According to the rules of election, we are going
to go for a toss to decide the winner.
Please sign here.
Here. - Pray well and sign, sir.
Heads or tails? - T-Tails..
Heads!
We go for tails. - Okay. Toss the coin.
Mr. Pillai, congratulations. - Thank you.
Long live Uthkandan Pillai! - Long live Uthkandan Pillai!
Leader Uthkandan Pillai! - Leader Uthkandan Pillai!
Sir..
Our new respected panchayat member
Mr. Uthkandan Pillai is right behind this vehicle.
Long live Uthkandan Pillai! - Long live Uthkandan Pillai!
Our new leader, Uthkandan Pillai! - By accepting the love
from the people, our new leader Uthkandan Pillai
has emerged successful.
Rule without fear! - Rule without fear!
We are behind you for support! - We are behind you for support!
Uthkandan Pillai is victorious! - Uthkandan Pillai is victorious!
Long live Uthkandan Pillai! - Long live Uthkandan Pillai!
Long live Uthkandan Pillai! - Rubbish!
Any rascal can emerge victorious in the elections with a coin toss!
Forget it, Abubakkar.
Success and failure are a part of politics.
But what is the use of getting upset like this?
But still, this was unexpected.
This was a slip between the cup and the lip.
If one person more had voted for me..
Anyway, we had reached this far.
But if we had tried a bit more, we could have reached our goal.
That is really upsetting. - That's all right.
We still have parliamentary elections left.
A member of parliament is much better than a panchayat member.
Shucks! - All of you are going to face the consequences!
Hey! Don't create a fuss over this.
Mr. Viswanathan is already upset here.
You should be..
My husband sold cannabis for our survival.
There are wealthy people who are into this business.
But instead, you chose to disgrace us for your benefit.
God will never let you live peacefully.
Actually, that was very cruel of us.
If we had got their vote, you would have won today.
You bring a man saying that he is guilty
and you come back to get him released.
What is going on?
We feel sad for having punished him for his small mistake
in order to provide a single day's meal for his family.
There are smugglers who are into cannabis business
and make crores of rupees.
Our next goal is to catch them.
Don't make any wrong decisions out of enthusiasm.
We are here to get the law and justice done.
Right. That is your duty.
If I have the support of sincere youngsters like you
I can get hold of any great smugglers.
There is only one such person here. Achayan.
He harvests cannabis in acres of land.
He brews cannabis and converts it into oil.
Then he exports them in the form of medicines.
Since you are new here, you would be unaware of all this.
I have studied some old files referencing him.
Anyway, we will do the needful. Okay? - Okay, sir.
We are always there for any help you need.
Shall we leave?
Couldn't you do this in secret? - Come here.
Put an end to these illegal ways
and try to work for a living. You can leave.
If you have any problem, you can approach us.
Okay? - Thank you. - It's all right..
It's good that you mentioned Achayan.
Didn't he insult us when we went to ask him
for election donations? He deserves this!
This is just the beginning.
Hurry up. - Okay.
'Smoking is injurious to health.' Hey, let's escape!
What are inside the boxes? - Medicines.
Open it.
Hey, why do you look so petrified?
This is all part of this game. Isn't it? - Yes.
When they seized the goods worth Rs. 50 lakhs
how could you just escape and return empty-handed?
Otherwise, we would have been arrested by now.
That was just a possibility.
Didn't you have a pistol? - Yes.
Was it loaded? Tell me! - Yes.
Couldn't you use the pistol? - Yes.
Then why didn't you fire at him?
I am ashamed of calling you my son.
Do one thing. You look tired.
Have a drink and take rest. Go. - Dad.. - Just go!
Hey, come here.
What was his name? - Hari.
Hari.
I don't think you recognise me.
I am a small businessman. People call me Achayan.
Hari is having his breakfast. I will call him. - No need.
You should not disturb a person when he is eating.
That is inauspicious.
I know your father.
We know each other from his business days. - Is it?
You had a love marriage, isn't it? - Yes.
I heard that you had an inter-caste marriage.
But I never thought that I would meet you here.
Hey, George!
These are some home needs and utensils.
How could I visit my friend's daughter empty-handed?
I am Achayan. I am a small businessman.
I have a problem. - What is the matter?
One of my men is in your custody.
He is innocent, sir. Please release him.
I arrested him for smuggling cannabis.
George!
I want you to accept this, sir.
If this is less, you can tell me. I will get it arranged.
Take it back. Just take it back!
I'm used to giving. I never take anything back.
Even I am used to giving and not taking.
Take it away!
I will take it back.
George, it seems he does not need anything.
Anyway, we bought these things and we cannot waste it.
You can take them. Come on!
Sir, I am telling this out of concern.
In this youthful enthusiasm, do not get yourself trapped.
Mr. Thomas Mathew!
Nobody ever calls me
by that name.
Is there? - Nobody. - Nobody!
Everyone calls me Achayan.
I want you to be here.
I have heard of a Thomas Mathew who was punished
in a fake currency case about 25 years ago.
I got to know only now that he changed his name
when he became wealthy.
You know now.
I don't need much time to go back to my old character.
Don't try to scare me.
You might transfer me to another place.
I have never stayed in one place for more than three months.
But before I go, I would send someone like you to jail.
Yes. - I won't let you make cannabis oil
and sell it by calling it medicine anymore.
Oh, no! Sir. I promise that I am exporting medicine.
Do you think that it's cannabis?
Then, you should be careful. Listen, dear.
This medicine has a problem.
When some people are about to die, this smells like cannabis to them.
But, he wouldn't have thought that.
Have you, sir? - You bloody..
Why did you stop? Say the rest, too.
I could arrest you right now for trespassing and threatening me.
You have a lot of connections. You might escape.
I will arrest you one day with proof.
I will give you a gold necklace of 10 sovereigns on that day.
See you! See you, dear.
Do you smell something burning?
Yes. A burning dead body.
That's a bad omen.
Yes.
What? 'SI Harikumar seizes drug export.'
See. It's on the front page. There is a photo, too.
Anyway, our plan worked.
At least, he now knows to be careful of the weak.
How would he know? The SI got all the credit.
That's true.
No one would believe us if we say that we were behind it.
Shall we announce it? - No. - What?
I have an idea. - What?
We will arrange a function for the brave SI by the people.
What if he doesn't come? We will make him come. - How?
With the promise of erasing corruption from Kummattikadavu
we will celebrate a corruption week.
Corruption weak? - Yes.
N-No. An anti-corruption week.
That's what I thought.
The inauguration by SI Harikumar.
Wait! Won't the people still think that SI did it?
You idiot! - What?
The SI is a good man.
When he speaks, he will call out our names.
He'll say that if he didn't have the help of youngsters here
he couldn't have seized this drug business.
That SI fought and seized the drugs.
And we will get all the credit just because we informed him.
Anyway, it' a good plan.
You have to work hard to get the reward.
What? What work?
Like this. Oh, no! This is hard work.
You don't have to stand. Lie down there.
Oh, no!
Seizing the drugs was just my duty.
I don't want to come to a function just for that.
Please don't say that, sir. We've already announced it.
The people should know that there are incorruptible
and sincere police officers like you.
Sorry. I am not interested in that kind of publicity.
It's not, sir. This is not for publicity.
You are there to inaugurate our anti-corruption week. That's it.
Please don't refuse.
Okay. I will come just this once. - Enough.
Just this once is enough. So, It's tomorrow at 6 p.m.
We have to paste the posters. Shall we leave? - Okay. - Come.
You can go to the inauguration.
But try not to make the speech boring to the public.
Don't you remember inauguration at Mattanur College?
No. These people are not the same.
They are honest young men. - Yes.
Is it because they invited you?
Hello.
Where?
Who are you?
Hello..
Hello! Yes, sir.
Someone called here, too. He didn't give his name.
Anyway, I am heading there.
Get there quickly. - Okay, sir.
Hurry up. I am sleepy. - Okay.
Are you resting? - No. We are pasting it.
If you keep on pasting, who will do the rest?
The microphone is not set up.
The stage isn't ready. The decorations aren't done.
When are we going to do all that? - Aren't you in charge of the mike?
Didn't I give it to you?
I-I went there three times.
There is no one there. They have work at some temple.
They will only come back tomorrow evening or tonight. - Right.
I shouldn't have given it to you.
Both of you go and help with the stage and decorations.
They will handle the pasting. - Okay.
I will arrange the mike by myself.
I will go and look. - No. I will handle everything.
There is no light.
Come here. - What?
Am I not a future panchayat president? I don't need a light.
Listen. It's better for him to go there
rather than me. - Bloody fool! Start pasting!
Hurry up!
Do you understand what this is?
Does it still smell like cannabis?
Put him in the car.
Hey!
The post-mortem report came.
It says that the SI's death was an accident.
This is a ploy of Achayan and the police.
The truth is that the SI is dead because he listened to us.
We used him to make a name for ourselves.
Don't we have a hand in his death, too?
I can't forget his wife's crying face.
We have to tell the truth. Achayan must be punished.
At least, we must do that for his family.
Arrest the murderer of the SI! - Arrest the murderer of the SI!
Achayan must stop this abuse! - Achayan must stop this abuse!
Stop the corruption of police! - Stop the corruption of police!
Long live Viswanathan! - Long live Viswanathan!
Stop the corruption of police! - Stop the corruption of police!
Arrest the murderer of the SI! - Arrest the murderer of the SI!
Stop the corruption of police! - Stop the corruption of police!
Arrest the murderer of the SI! - Arrest the murderer of the SI!
Stop the corruption of police! - Stop the corruption of police!
Arrest the murderer of the SI! - Arrest the murderer of the SI!
Arrest Achayan! - Arrest Achayan!
Stop! Go back, everyone. Don't make a commotion.
We won't go back unless the murderer is arrested.
Police must deliver justice! - Police must deliver justice!
Arrest the murderer of the SI! - Arrest the murderer of the SI!
Arrest Achayan! - Arrest Achayan!
Police must deliver justice! - Police must deliver justice!
He says that he saw it. - Okay. Call him. - Arrest Achayan!
Police must deliver justice! - Police must deliver justice!
Who saw the crime? - I did.
Okay. Come in. - Go on.
Long live Viswanathan! - Long live Viswanathan!
Achayan must stop this abuse! - Achayan must stop this abuse!
Hey! This is unexpected.
Okay. There is a union for the police now, right?
If it's about any donation, just a call was enough.
No. Please don't misunderstand.
About SI Harikumar's.. - Oh, no! I heard. Too bad.
God always takes good people quickly, right?
That's not it, sir. There is crowd in front of the police station
saying that it wasn't an accident and you are connected to it.
Police is given the authority to suppress commotions.
You have this gun and baton to manage the crowd, don't you?
Understand my situation.
I can't disobey an official order.
You must obey.
You must come to the police station.
Or else..
You will arrest me.
It's not that.
I will be in trouble.
Oh, no! I don't want you to be in trouble because of me.
Come. Let's go. - Okay.
What is this?
Move aside.
We will move.
But before that, put him in the jeep.
Move aside.
I will decide what I should do.
The rules are not for you to breach.
We know the laws, too.
He is accused of murder.
We won't move until he is handcuffed and put in the Jeep.
Arrest the murderer of SI Harikumar!
The circle inspector must follow the rules!
Police must obey rules!
- Please calm down.
You want me to get into the jeep, right? - Yes.
Are handcuffs necessary?
Yes.
Okay.
Handcuff me.
Make it fast.
It is their wish.
Let's go, sir.
Long live Vishwanathan!
I am Achayan.
Don't you know me? - Yes.
Come in.
No.
I don't have time.
Appukuttan Nair's son..
Vishwanathan. - Yes, Vishwanathan.
He's got a misconception about me.
Someone was killed.
Someone killed..
It's not a misconception. I saw it.
Here he is.
Have you understood that I don't need much time to be released?
Anyway, he is dead.
Why do we need to carry a grudge?
He didn't die.
You killed him.
Let it be so.
I know that plight of your family.
I am ready to help you.
Forget it all.
Yes. Why not?
Achayan.
While discussing such things
we should have bit more privacy, don't we?
Correct.
Do you hear him?
These are silly things.
Do this.
Give me your bungalow
your Maruti van
arrack-making centres in Attapadi
cannabis plantations in the government forest
the hotel in Thiruvananthapuram
and the rubber estate in Kanjirappally.
Is that enough?
It might have.
But since I have witnessed it
I will make you rot in jail
for murdering a sincere police officer
without any mercy.
Are you sure? - Yes.
There is no use in talking.
Come on.
This place has that smell, too.
What smell?
The stench of a burning dead body.
Son.
Should we do this
and make him angry?
Stop it.
You really are Chempakasheri Appukuttan Nair's son.
Why are you getting into trouble?
It's not trouble.
I have decided.
He should be punished.
My heart aches
when I think about it.
All the proposals coming for Ammukutty
are rejected because of her bad horoscope.
Everything will be all right.
You have become a hero.
You will reach high positions easily.
I don't want that.
I have done many stupid things
to get attention and position.
But what I am doing now is sincere.
My heart is at ease.
Vishwanathan!
Please forgive me.
That's it.
The stick is broken but the snake is still alive.
Good boy.
Hey!
If I dislike someone
bring him here.
If I order you to bring someone
bring his corpse.
If I ask to kill someone
no one should ever see his body again.
These guys are useless.
Order me, Father.
I will bring his body
within 24 hours.
Here he is!
The killing machine is here.
Come.
Hey.
Other than being my son
have you done anything useful until now?
We are already in it.
I will decide what I should do next.
Do one thing.
What is it, Father?
Drink to your fill
and go sleep.
Go on.
Go.
His life is our life.
His life is our life!
Long live Vishwanathan!
Put Achayan behind bars!
Long live Vishwanathan!
Tooth for tooth! Life for life!
Long live Vishwanathan!
Tooth for tooth! Life for life!
Touch one, we'll kill ten!
Long live Vishwanathan!
Vishwanathan.. - Stop. Please calm down.
We can't arrest anyone without evidence.
A sincere officer was murdered for arresting smugglers.
The young man who witnessed it
was almost murdered.
Do you need other evidence?
There is no use in rioting.
There are procedures to be followed.
We will investigate.
Do what you want.
But remember this.
If anything happens to him
we will react.
His life and properties should be protected.
Stop this for now.
Let us make the necessary decisions.
Long live Vishwanathan!
Touch one, we'll kill ten!
Police must obey rules.
Let me go first.
Here we go.
Who is Vishwanathan?
Chakko. - Yes, sir.
Okay.
What is this? - An orange.
Bombs are available in the shape of oranges, too.
My God!
What have you done?
What if it had exploded? - But it didn't.
Thus, it is proven that it is not a bomb.
Good boy.
We don't get it.
We'll tell you.
I am K. Sreedharan Nair.
I am K. P. Chakko.
Koprapurakkal Chakko.
What's the matter?
We are assigned to protect Vishwanathan.
Yes.
Chakko, be careful.
Yes, sir. - Careful.
Yes, sir.
This is a beautiful place. - Sir.
Careful. Water is flowing below.
Okay, sir.
Here they are.
Don't run, old man.
Vishwanathan.
Stop.
What are you all doing here?
All of you should disperse.
They are my friends.
Who are they? - My family.
It's our duty to decide
who is friends are and who family is.
and who is an enemy and who is not. Don't intervene.
Why are you all looking so surprising?
What are you saying?
Yes. So why are you so surprised?
What happened?
We didn't mean you.
Everyone looks surprised.
That's what he meant.
Everyone, move aside.
Move.
The consequences will be grave
if you don't obey him.
I can see a chance
for a brutal suppression
or a shootout.
Don't make us do it.
Sir. - Yes.
They are very close to me.
They are not bad.
They can stay here if they aren't trouble.
But nobody should come closer to you.
You can see you from a distance of 10 feet and leave.
Didn't you hear him? Step 10 feet back. Old man!
Sir, he's my uncle.
An attacker can also disguise himself as your uncle.
Move this side. - Move this side.
Are you his uncle for real? - Yes..
You're aren't a fake, are you? - Not at all.
What is this? This is part of my protection.
The government wants to protect me.
How can we not obey the law, Uncle?
Stop.. Don't go in yet.
We have to search the house and the surroundings before that.
Only then can you enter the house.
Where's your bedroom? - Come.
No.. You can stay here.
"I'm so handsome."
This room doesn't require so many windows.
You can keep one open for ventilation.
You can close the other two.
What is this? - A door. - I know that.
You need just one door to enter and leave the room.
You must seal this door.
Don't get me wrong.
I've been on protection duty for many people.
But I've never stayed in a room like this one.
Is this a cattle shed?
This room has no security.
I'll arrange for everything. Give me two days' time.
I've given you two days' time.
We haven't had anything today.
Where's the dining room? - Come.. - Come, sir.
We'll think about our duty only after we have food.
Police isn't a problem at all.
You just have to give the word.
We'll make sure that it doesn't happen again.
Enough of the surety you've given until now.
In the current situation
people will say that I killed him
even if he dies of a lightning strike.
So, it our duty to keep him out of harm's way.
The Almighty has plans for everyone.
Do we have to change it? No.
When the time is right
the Lord Himself will tell me
to do it.
We'll do nothing until then.
Isn't that the right thing to do?
Isn't it?
Listen up, I'm from a police family.
When my uncle was the SI at Malappuram.. - SI?
Yes, SI. - Yesterday, you told me that he was a head constable.
He was later promoted to SI.
That's why I told you that.
What I was saying was that
there was a thug by the name Moideen Kutty.
Isn't this the story where pins were pierced into his nails?
Yes. - I know it by heart. - How do you know that?
You used to tell me that story every half an hour
while I was in the hospital. - I've told you, haven't I? - Yes.
Then, I'll tell you another one.
When I was in the SPF..
That is the Special Protection Force.
Isn't this the tale where an attacker ran out of fear
when you were protecting a VIP on the hit list?
Have all these tales become so famous in this land..
Oh! - It's not that.
You told me that story many times in the hospital..
Enough.. I think dinner's prepared.
Your dad must be waiting. Come.
Ammu.
You must have good protein-rich food from the shop.
Only then will you gain weight and become healthy. - Who?
The calf.
If Vijayan comes here, tell him that I'll be at the market.
Go in.. - Stop..
I didn't mean it to you. You can go in.
Where are you off to? - I want to go out.
I can't let you leave just like that.
You must inform us about the places you visit every day
and the time you leave beforehand.
You can leave only after we make sure
that safety precautions are taken care of at each place.
Hey, I'm the one to decide the place I have to go
how to go and when to go.
You just have to accompany me. Don't try to rule over me.
You can say that.
But I'm the one to answer to the department
if anything happens to you. Okay?
Why would I need your help to go to a place where
there isn't any trouble? - What if there's trouble?
You should come and save me. That's why I'm given protection.
You can do just that. I'll fix my programs and schedules.
I'll let this slide for today.
From tomorrow, both of you must be in your uniforms by the time
I get up. Okay?
How about we do as he says?
Hey, we'll lose our jobs. He's leaving. Come on.
Stop..
You can go around this to cross it, can't you?
I can, but I prefer going through it.
We prefer going the other way.
You can use that route. I'll use this path.
Hey, our shoes and pants will get drenched.
That's your problem.
What's he doing? - Don't splash water on us.
People will think we're playing.
What're you doing? Are you crazy? - Don't call him crazy.
Hey.. Where are you off to with the coconuts?
Viswanathan, what's this?
Where were you all these days?
Don't you know about the events that took place here?
They're not here to arrest me as you think.
They are assigned by the government for my protection.
They'll follow me wherever I go.
That's the rule. Isn't it?
Is Uthkandan Pillai fine? - Yes.
Don't go to him and tell him
about my being accompanied by policemen.
I don't like all that. He'll think I'm bragging about it.
Isn't it?
That is all needed for people to start getting jealous.
You can leave now.. - Okay.
Shall we move on?
Don't hesitate to ask me if you want a cigarette.
Nobody's to be seen.
You're troubling yourselves, right? - Listen, don't act smart.
If you think that the police are very foolish
think again. - You see, I'm a policeman.
I'm not your manager. Don't expect us to obey you!
Oh, no! The library will be closed.
Oh, no! I forgot to bring the books.
Chacko. - Yes. - I'm resigning. - Yes. - I can't.
I think I'll return it tomorrow.
Oh, no! I forgot something else. - Stop.. What is this?
You walk a few steps and then start running.
Then you stop again.
You must inform us about the number of steps and the speed exactly.
How can I inform you that?
Isn't it your duty to accompany me wherever I go?
Duty is duty. Did you think I didn't know that?
I don't think he'll stop with this. - Neither do I.
How's business? Hand me a cigarette.
Matches.
Would you like to have sweets or biscuits?
We don't want anything. Add it to my tab. - Okay.
I hope you are fine. - Yes.
Isn't my uncle here? - No. - Oh, my God! Isn't he?
Please tell him when he returns
that I came here with my security detail and asked for him.
Okay? - Okay. - It's my uncle's store.
Hello! - Watch him.
What is it, Viswanathan?
Sit down.. - Are you all right? - They aren't here for trouble.
They are assigned by the government to protect me.
They'll accompany wherever I go.
See you, then. - Okay. - We'll leave.
It's nothing. Just let him know I was here.
I suspect if this guy had a part in the attempt to kill me.
I suspect he's here to attack me after somebody informed him
about my arrival.
You must search him completely.
See you.
Chacko. - Yes, sir.
Stop.
What's wrong? - We'll talk about it later.
We have to check you.
I'm a people's representative.
I'm also the panchayat president here.
If that's the case, remove his shirt. - Yes, sir.
The law doesn't care if you are the panchayat president.
Remove your shirt.
Have you worn anything underneath?
No. - Then don't bother checking his Dhoti.
Search his waist.
Hands up..
Shake your waist..
Jump.. Jump like a bunny.
Turn around.
Is this how you seek revenge as you couldn't defeat me?
You've misunderstood me.
It's part of their duty.
Listen, he's one of us.
Don't you search him anymore. You can leave now..
Shall we move on?
Hey, it's the police.
Why'd you get down? Is it because of them?
There's no need for it. There're here for my protection.
They're my friends.
You can carry on. Take him with you, too.
Chacko, you know what to do. - Yes, sir.
Why are you doing that? They're my friends.
Go on.
Move! - Go.
They were my friends.
We don't care who they are.
Don't try to stop us from doing our duty.
Duty is duty. - How is it that you want to go?
Faster or slower? Or do you want to walk on water?
Just tell us how you want to do it. We'll do as such.
Show your cards.
Take this!
I have to urinate. - Go.
What are you looking at?
Oh, no. The police are here. Run. - Run.
Hey, stop there. I am coming, too.
What? Hey, Vijayan.
Stop there.
He is running. - Hey. It's me.
Stop there. - Vijayan, come here.
We weren't playing cards. - Where are you going? Come here.
I didn't see you. We just saw the police.
You are coming like a VIP.
We can get escorts without being a VIP.
It's protection.
Any loser can get protection if they file a request.
Hey, Vijayan. Get the cards. Let's play. - It's against the law.
I will not support this. - You don't need to. Just be there.
Come on. - Okay, I will. He left. - He left.
You don't need to worry.
Ammu will be happy.
It's good that her horoscope matched because she had bad luck.
The Ezhupunnam family is good. - Yes.
I have been there with my mother when I was a kid.
They were very rich at that time.
We need to think about their family status. The groom is good, too.
Let's fix this. - Yes.
Tell Govind Panikkar to find a date on this month. - Yes.
It's good to do it earlier.
We can think about Soudamini's marriage after Ammu's marriage.
Let this happen first. Vishwanathan will get a job by then.
Please serve more.
You might have got tired of serving us, right?
No. It's our culture to feed our guests.
That's culture. Don't talk like that, sir.
Ammu is also working hard.
You look weak.
Ma'am, make a curry with the roots of asparagus and..
Bring some water.
Please bring two glasses of water.
You don't need to repeat the same type of curries.
It will be boring for people if it's the same food.
I was about to say.. - I was about to say..
...the same.
We've been eating mutton since we came here.
Please cook chicken for some days.
Can we have duck for some time? - That will be good.
You can later cook quail. I remember.. - I remember..
Sir, you can speak. - I remember something else.
When I was in the SPF, I used to have different dishes every day.
One day, it will be Chinese. - One day, Japanese.
One day, it will be Continental. - Another day, it will be German.
Please have food.. - I will tell you after lunch.
Didn't I tell you that Mini would be waiting here?
I will come back after talking to her. - Okay. Let's go.
Oh, no. Why are you coming?
We can't leave you alone.
In this era, even a woman can plan a surprise attack.
Chacko, I know you have artistic talent.
Aren't you a poet? You will understand the pain of love.
Let him go, sir. Please. - Okay.
I will give you two minutes.
But.. - Tell us what you speak to her.
I will tell you. - Okay.
Please don't be angry. What can I do?
I need to get rid of them before I come here.
I had offered sweets to the Goddess when you were in the hospital.
I wanted to take them with you after the prayers.
I am not that late. Let's go. - We don't need to go there.
Have these sweets.
I can't have it like that. You should feed me.
No.. Don't have it..
Why not? - Don't have anything without our permission.
You can go. - Stop there.
Don't have it. Please, don't have it. Oh, no..
I am not worried about dying.
Can't I have temple offerings? - I am going.
Sir, what if anything happens to him?
Oh, God. - Oh, no. - Oh, no. Something happened.
Why did you allow him? - You agreed to it, too.
Is this the way to do your duty?
What if I lose my job?
What about me? - Don't talk rubbish.
He left. - Who left?
Vishwanathan. - Which Vishwanathan?
Our Vishwanathan. - Oh, God.
I think they are here.
Why are you here now? - Why did you come here?
We need to meet Vishwanathan. - Is there a wedding at your house?
Or is there a funeral? - No. Vijayan got a job.
Vishwanathan..
I am here. - Okay. - Okay.
You should talk to your friends in front of us.
IPC 4200.. - Just play. - Okay.
Come on..
Where did you get the job? - In the revenue department.
As an LD Clerk. I need to join on Monday.
Your life is secured.
We are still stuck here.
You are secure than us. You are living like a VIP.
To hell with it. Don't you see?
They don't let me talk to anyone. They blame me for everything.
I can't sit anywhere.
They are cruel men.
They don't allow me to talk to Mini. She is angry.
Don't be upset.
We will find a way for you to meet Mini.
What's the whispering about?
I was telling them the story when you pinned nails in fingers.
You have told it to everyone.
The actual story is that my uncle.. - Play the cards.
I will tell you later..
Stop.. Wait.
It's the seventh time.
You should meet a doctor soon. - Okay.
Wait. Let me check first.
You have checked it six times. Why check again?
Mr. Sreedharan doesn't do this.
I am not like him.
It's my duty to make sure that there is no problem.
Let's do something. - Yes. - We will go inside together.
No way. Damn. - Come on..
Come on. - Leave my hands. No..
Yes. - You can go.. Damn.
That's bad.
Come out fast.
We are answerable if you commit suicide inside.
Sreedharan shouldn't have gone to ask about his promotion now.
What is it? - I need to guard him everywhere.
You are not just a guard. You are a lucky man.
I know everything.
What is it?
- I came to know everything.
Tell me the matter clearly.
Annamma told me everything.
What did she say, Vijayan?
Tell me.. - I will tell you.
What did she tell you? - She says
that her daughter is in love. - Is it true? - Yes.
They are planning for marriage. - Oh.
Come on.. Slowly.
They are going to come to you with the proposal.
Is it true? - Yes.
It's true.. - Really?
Oh, no. - Naughty man. - Don't tickle me..
I am excited.. I will kill you..
What are you doing?
Nothing. I was enjoying a moment I got while on duty.
I am an artistic person.
I will tell you the rest tomorrow. - Okay..
Where is he? - Who?
Vishwanathan. - Which Vishwanathan?
The Vishwanathan who lives here. - He is in the toilet.
It's been a long time.
Will you come out? Or should I come inside?
Tell him that I am here. - Sir is here.
What? Let me check inside.
Oh, no.
He escaped, sir. Stop there.
There he goes. - Stop there.
Hey.
Catch him!
Throw a stone at him. - Get me a stone.
Oh, God. Where did he go? - He was here.
Where did he go?
What is it? - It must be an arecanut.
An arecanut? - Yes. Oh, no.
What is it? - I am sure that he jumped in.
I have to answer for this suicide.
It's time for my promotion.
I might lose my job.
The ants are biting me. - He is here. Catch him.
Stop there. Hey.
Stop there! Don't run!
Hey. Stop there.
He got trapped like an elephant in a pit..
Stop laughing and get him out of there.
Come here.
Where is he? - Who?
God!
'Non-Hindus are not permitted inside.'

Nowadays, the timber is of substandard quality.
Boss.
I had something to say to you. - Go on.
A marriage proposal has come for my daughter.
Can you lend me some money?
Why not?
You're asking me something
for the first time in 20 years.
Just tell me when you want it.
Well, we haven't fixed the date.
Because of her inauspicious horoscope
none of the proposals were getting fixed.
But this one matches perfectly.
They will be coming to my house in two days.
I thought of asking you before I fix it.
Don't worry about money.
Go ahead and fix it, Appukuttan.
See you later. - Okay, boss.
You shouldn't use detergent soap, Ammu.
It will ruin your beautiful fingers.
It's okay. I'll make do.
You will get detergent powders from the shop.
Get it to wash clothes.
Why do you have to do this?
I would have given it to the laundry and get it washed for you.
You don't have to bother.
This is not a big deal.
Use lemon
to remove stains from clothes.
Oh, God!
Oh, my God!
Do the policemen know about the groom's relatives coming
to meet Ammu tomorrow? - I don't think they do.
They weren't at home when the marriage broker came to inform us.
If they come to know that two policemen are staying at your home
it would affect this marriage proposal.
You must ask Viswanathan to get rid of them
for tomorrow. - How is that possible?
When they come, Viswanathan should be present.
Viswanathan should be present, but the police shouldn't be there.
He'll find some way to avoid them.
Okay, you and sister-in-law must reach early morning.
Sure. - Okay, bye. - Okay.
Many people have organised parties on getting jobs.
But this party is one of a kind.
Vijayan arranged this party
specially for you.
Pour one more drink for Mr. Chakko. - Yes.
Will you believe if I told you
I'm an artist, too? - No, never..
Show them your talent, Chakko.
The poem 'In Search of the Culprit'
from the collection of poems titled 'Handcuffs and Bangles'.
"Mom said he's your dad."
"Brother said he's your dad."
"Sister said he's your dad."
"Father said, you're my son." - Wow!
"But the granddad said"
"your dad is not my son." - What?
Say it again. - "But the granddad said"
"your dad is not my son." - Wow!
Thank you.. - Isn't this poem composed by Cherusseri?
No, sir. I wrote it.
How did you get inspired to write this?
My granddad used to say this to my dad.
Oh..
Here is the towel.
The lunch was delicious. - Ammu made everything.
I am not boasting just because she is my daughter-in-law
but she is a very good girl.
I am sure that wherever she goes
she will be the lucky charm there.
The only wish of Keshavankutty was to get married
to a girl from a reputed family.
Our family has a good reputation.
We always try to keep it.
Look, Viswanathan is here.
We're talking about you.
Sorry, I got held up. That's why I'm late.
Then, let's discuss the proposal. - Sure.
An artist is born from experience.
That's true. - My uncle.. - Listen, Viswanathan.
When he was the SI of Malappuram
there was a goon named Moideen.. - Where is Viswanathan?
I don't know. Get lost!
Pour it. - Okay.
I will explain how that goon
was defeated by my uncle. - Viswanathan is gone.
Get lost! Pour some for me.
Well.. - Pour some. - You already have it in the glass.
I know that. Don't act too much. - No need.. - Pour me some.
Fill the glass.
So we shall proceed as planned.
There will be 125 people from our side.
A maximum of 150.
You can bring as many as you want. That is not a problem.
Shall we leave? - Okay. - Hey!
Viswanathan.
Don't think that all policemen are stupid.
Move aside! Mom.
I cannot tolerate any flaws in my duty.
In order to do my official duty.. Damn.
If you interrupt the duty
of a sincere policeman..
Leave me..
Don't create problems, Chakko. It was not intentional.
It was a mistake. - Leave me.
Is this what you call a mistake?
You tried to tarnish my reputation.
Is that a mistake?
Me and Sreedharan Nair
took good care of you
and made sure that you were safe
under our surveillance.
Why have the police come, Appukuttan Nair?
Hens were stolen in our neighbourhood.
They have come to enquire about it.
They couldn't find the hens.
They are drunk.. - What?
Come here.
I was joking.. - Stop it.
Who is drunk?
You might get wasted with a small quantity of alcohol.
But you don't have any idea how much booze I can have.
Didn't you see that? They started in the morning.
Don't mind it. I'll manage.
You shall leave.. - Who is going to manage it?
How will you manage?
Who are they?
Who gave them permission to come here without my knowledge?
Tell me. - I didn't know.
Everyone stand in order.
You should give me an explanation for coming without my permission.
Take out the weapons you have hidden inside your clothes.
Chakko! - Yes, sir.
They are good people.
They came to meet dad.
Nonetheless, they have to give an explanation.
This is our family matter. Please don't interfere in this.
We will. We have to.
You should have thought about it when you raised your children.
You should have thought that his mischief
would have ended up like this
and the entire family would be dragged into distress.
They don't have any weapons with them. - Okay.
You shall leave now.
We'll reach there tomorrow morning. - That is not required.
Well.. - No!
Didn't we fix everything, ma'am?
Are you happy? Will you be satisfied if you ruin my family?
Do you have any clue how many proposals were rejected
before this one was agreed on?
A good life for Ammu.
That was my biggest dream.
You spoilt everything in a fraction of a second.
Why are you blaming them?
You are responsible for all this.
Master.
I know everything.
Everything will be fine.
How is that possible?
Nobody will come for her again
as we are surrounded by the police.
Poor Ammu.
I am fed up.
I have no clue what to do.
Can I tell you something?
Pardon me if I am wrong.
What's the matter?
I love Ammu.
If you are ready to agree
I will marry her.
There are some traditions associated with a wedding.
Someone from their family should come here with the proposal.
Vijayan's parents came to my house.
They are also happy.
When I asked Ammu, she was agreeable.
Anyways, she is lucky since everything is okay now.
Shankaran Nair says that the wedding should be conducted soon.
But we should inform their relatives and ask their opinion.
That is true. Don't they know everything about us? - Yes.
So, even if the wedding is postponed, nothing bad will happen.
By the way, drinking isn't enough.
You should also remember what you're supposed to do.
You don't have to remind me. I know all that very well.
'Drinking is injurious to health.' Not only you should know
You have to do your duty well.
Once, one of my friends had put me in trouble.
That is why now I am suffering like this.
There should not be any witnesses.
Achayan. - Yes.
You can trust me.
Then, finish this and leave.
If you need anything, you can call Jeffrey or Jaffar.
You can go. Please sit.
You can have that, too.
It was a mistake.
Dear, please forgive me.
It is okay. Now, everything is all right.
Even I have two grownup daughters like her.
What is this, Mr. Sreedharan Nair? Don't be childish.
I have guarded dead bodies and thieves.
But this is the first time I came to a house like this.
It was my dream to become an SI of police.
That came true.
Don't curse me when I leave.
If I have done something wrong, please forgive me.
Your son will be successful.
My heart says so.
Please invite me for Ammu's wedding.
My family and I will be here for sure.
Here is the suitcase. - Chakko. - Yes.
Don't torture them in the name of rules and regulations. - No.
Shall I leave?
How much is it? - Rs. 10.
What is it? - Come..
He is Sethumadhavan. We were in the same station.
I came here for duty. - Greetings. Come in.
There is a room inside. My room is next to it.
The kitchen is that side.
There are three windows and two doors in the bedroom.
You can go and check.
The newspaper guy will come in the morning
and sometimes, the fish seller, too.
These are the complete details of this house.
Did the fish seller come today? - I don't know.
Why are you telling me all this? I am a poor policeman.
I am doing this for my survival.
And, why should I know about the people who come here?
He is the new constable replacing Sreedharan Nair.
Bring three cups of tea.
One should be a strong tea.
No, ma'am. I don't need tea now.
Is there a hotel nearby?
It will be difficult to get food if I don't tell them beforehand.
You don't have to go to a hotel.
You can have it from here.
Oh, no. Won't that be a problem for you?
No. - Yes, no difficulty. Isn't it?
It is a pleasure. - Yes.
Hey, why are you talking about problems?
I am enjoying here, having good food four times a day.
Don't spoil it. Come in. Let's enjoy it.
Oh, no!
We were happy when we came to know Vijayan's intentions.
The 10th of the month of 'Chingam' is a very good date.
Then, let it be. What do you say, Viswanathan?
Let it be. - So, let's fix it. - Okay.
Post!
I have passed the bank test. This is the interview letter.
My God! You heard my prayers.
When good times await us, some omens like this will be shown.
Now, good news came to us as soon as we decided a happy event.
Hey! - What?
Do you have any other plans? - What if I do?
I mean, when will you sleep?
Don't keep asking me about when I would sleep.
When it is time, I will sleep.
I want to sleep. - You can.
How will I sleep if this light is on?
Close your eyes like this and then sleep.
Oh, where the hell did he come from?
This job is a burden sometimes.
Hey, I can't sleep peacefully.
What do you want now, Chakko? - I want to sleep.
Is that enough? - Yes. - You can sleep. - What?
I will handle Viswanathan. Come and have a seat.
I wanted to tell this right from the day I came here. - What?
Should we both struggle like this?
I didn't get you. - Well..
I'll protect him for a few days and you can get some rest.
You can also do your other activities, meanwhile.
Then, you can take charge and I will be free.
These are all against the law.
I am strict with my duties.. - To hell with your duty.
Hey, it is okay if we tweak some rules and regulations.
Nothing will happen because of that.
If someone from the department know about this..
No one will know, other than us.
Okay. - For instance, tomorrow
one of us can accompany him to the interview.
I will go. You can take rest.
No, I will get TA and DA. I will come, too.
You can also apply for TA and DA, even if you don't come.
But still, it is my duty.. - Then, you come, too.
So, there is no problem, right? - Not at all.
Don't betray me. - No, Chakko.
Go and sleep. - Okay.
Stop it, Ammu.
Don't stand with this broom when your brother is leaving.
You can do it later. - Okay.
Where is Viswanathan? - He is taking a bath.
Tell him to drink this when he comes. - Okay.
Good morning!
I didn't get proper sleep last night.
I will never neglect my duties.
Get ready soon. We should take Viswanathan for the interview.
Didn't we discuss everything yesterday?
Yes. Hey, we are going to town.
If any officer sees that only you are there with Viswanathan
I will lose my job.
Don't drink that.
It is for Viswanathan. - He will drink that one.
That is for me. - Will I die if I drink this?
Don't drink that.
Oh, no! - You and Viswanathan can drink from the town.
Damn.
You have got a very good academic record.
That is good. - Thank you, sir.
What is your name? - Haseena. - Nice name.
What about hers? - Hey, sit quietly.
Viswanathan is sitting along with three guys inside.
If something happens, it will affect our jobs.
Let me go and see.
Do you find it difficult to work in rural areas?
Not at all. I am ready to work anywhere.
Why is a policeman standing outside? - He came with him.
There's nothing to worry. He came to protect me.
Protect you? - Yes, sir.
There were some issues regarding a case in which I was the eyewitness.
Until the case is closed, I will have protection.
After that, everything will be all right.
This is a private firm.
When you work here with a police escort
our customers will find it difficult.
Sorry, Mr. Viswanathan. You can try somewhere else. - Sir!
Mom, brother has come.
Dear, did you get the job? - No, fate was not with him.
You won't go until you see me dead, isn't it?
I just did my duty.
Your duty is not to peep in unwanted places, right?
Can this law get me a job
I have lost because of you? Can it get me a job?
Let it go, Viswanathan. Everything will be all right. Come.
I am starving.
There are two loads coming from Kodanad tomorrow.
We should finish the work by then. Make it fast, Kuttikrishnan.
Appukuttan Nair. - Yes. - Take this.
What is this, boss? - I'll tell you. This is three months' salary.
Take it. I don't know how to say it.
Don't work here anymore.
I haven't done anything wrong. - I know.
I have no choice. Achayan told me to..
I thought that you'd help me
for my daughter's wedding.
I understand how you feel. That's why I gave you this money.
I'm sad, but if don't listen to him
he'll mess my business up. You should understand my situation.
Mother.
Your fate is to make everyone sad.
Don't be sad. I'll make sure your wedding happens
one way or another. - What did you say?
How will you do that? You don't have any money.
The policemen who protect you eat from here every day.
I worked hard for that money.
Have you ever done anything good for this family?
Get lost! Ask the neighbours for money for your sister's wedding.
To hell with your social service!
I have to bear that sadness.
I've put the house as security and got some money for the gold.
We need to find another way for the wedding costs.
Don't worry about that. It'll work out.
I can help you with ten or fifteen thousand if you want.
Okay. - I have a girl child who hasn't married either.
We can get her married any time after Ammu's wedding. - Yes.
I'm looking for a groom for Soudamini.
What are you talking about, Brother? Vishwanathan and Mini
were engaged a long time ago. - They were just engaged.
What do you mean? - Exactly what I said.
How do I trust her with him?
Consider that an engagement like that has never happened.
We should change with time.
I'll stand in front of some suitable grooms.
But when I can't take it anymore, I might do something bad.
Mini, I'm ready to take you away now if you are ready.
I'm ready to come, but.. - But, what..
I'm not ready to send my daughter with a guy
whose life is constantly in danger.
Father. - Go inside. I told you to go inside.
Uncle, we decided this a long time ago.
If something happens to you after the wedding, she'll be bereft.
I won't allow it. She is not safe with you.
She can't even look at you or talk to you properly now.
Which woman would like it if there are two policemen
outside your bedroom door? - I didn't invite this trouble.
I'm sad this happened to you. But, you should understand me.
Don't come here again with this matter in mind.
Are you happy now? I'll take care of myself. I don't need protection.
Just leave me alone. - You can't just take it
or leave it when you want.
There are laws concerning this. - To hell with the law!
I'll beg you if you want. Don't ruin my life.
Don't get emotional. You need to suffer this
until there is a verdict. - It's better that he kills me.
Buy me some poison. - That's so sad.
The trial starts on the 24th of this month.
I've paid money to everyone.
The doctor who did the autopsy will testify in our favour.
But Vishwanathan will testify against us.
Let him say what he wants. You should prove him wrong.
As the primary witness.. - Yes.
...if he says the truth in court, I'll be of no help to you.
Then, you are a terrible lawyer.
I'll make sure he doesn't testify in court. Go now.
Go now.
Jeffery.. - Yes.
What is it, Father? - What is Sethumadhavan up to?
There is another policeman. That's why he can't do anything.
Then kill him, too. Vishwanathan shouldn't be alive to testify.
Yes, Father. - What?
Ask Sethumadhavan to see me.
Okay. - You just say yes to everything. I'll be in trouble.
Remember that. - Yes.
Take a drink if you're worried. - Okay.
He wants to say something. - It's you, Vijayan. Sit..
What is it? - We are going to town tomorrow
to buy wedding dresses and ornaments. - Okay.
Before that.. - Yes. Before that..
he wants to ask her what she likes. - Sure. You can ask her yourself.
Ammu..
What is it, Brother? - Vijayan is going to town tomorrow
to buy the wedding dress. You can tell him what you want.
We'll take anything into consideration.
I don't mind. You can buy what you like.
Tell me now. You shouldn't complain about it later. - Yes.
It's better to say now than later.. - Yes. Better later than now..
Shut up! - See you later. - Okay. - Let's go.
Goodbye. - Okay.
Ammukutty, this is not what I had in mind
for your wedding.
A big venue.
A decorated stage in the middle
and you'd be covered with gold.
But, I don't have anything to give you now.
I can only pray for you right now.
Ammu, don't cry. You are lucky.
Vijayan is a good man.
He'll take care of you, dear.
We'll be broke if we bring women here. - Come.
Take the bus from here. Remember what I said. - Yes.
Vishwanathan shouldn't be alive to testify against me on the 24th.
I'll take care of that. - You've been saying that for a long time.
Go now. - Drive.
Sethu.
Don't tie it like that. - I can't do more than this. I'm old.
Hey, tie that closer.
Don't leave any room for the rain to pour in. - This guy's voice!
Go inside. - Appukuttan Nair..
Come fast. - Make it fast.
What are you doing? - Did you arrange the garlands?
I have given the order.
Or will it end up like the microphone? - No.
Isn't it nice? It must be very expensive.
Yes. - He didn't listen to me.
Did you arrange dinner, Narayani?
I have informed them. - Go check.
Oh, God! - I'll come now. - He is very tense.
Keep it in the wardrobe.
Sir.
What's the matter, Vijayan?
Vijayan.
Oh, no! Vijayan.
Sir.
Sethu is Achayan's man.
They..
Vijayan..
Vijayan.
Mom, Vijayan!
Vijayan.
What are you waiting for?
Run them over!
Hello!
Oh, no! Mr. Chakko!
Please don't hit me.
Who is he?
Oh, dear. Come.
Sethu.
'After the next assembly elections.'
Long live Viswanathan! - Long live Viswanathan!
Long live Viswanathan! Long live Viswanathan!
Our leader Viswanathan! - Our leader Viswanathan!
