"The dawn has arrived"
"filled with the scent of florets." - Are you off to work? - Yes.
"In search of holiness"
"with prayers in his heart.."
So, the anniversary will be on 1st of September.
We must discuss on who will be the one to inaugurate the meeting
and also on who will be the chief guest
and the other important invitees.
Appukuttan is the chief guest in all the functions
held in Thamarakulam.
How about we change it this time?
We can. But is there anybody else in Thamarakulam
better than Appukuttan?
Tell me.
It's not just that. We also have to print
the flyers and receipts for the programme.
A stage has to be set-up.
We'll have other small expenses too.
Don't we need money? Who do you say, treasurer?
Do we have enough funds? - We don't have many funds left.
So, there is no point in discussing further.
Appukuttan will take care of the expenses as usual.
We just have to print his name as the chief guest in big font.
We have nothing more to discuss.
Appukuttan is the chief guest as always.
Why don't we all applaud as a sign of support?
Hey, Shankaran! Rascal!
Come out!
I will leave only after I get my money back.
Are you planning on coming out or do I have to come in?
Don't test my patience.
Has anybody told Appukuttan? - They have gone to tell him.
Avarachan.
Why don't you extend the due date?
If you're too concerned, pay me Rs. 10,000
If I don't ensure that he's thrown out of his house today
I'm not my father's son anymore!
Be patient, Avarachan. They've gone to call Appukuttan.
He will definitely find a way.
Hey, Appukuttan is here.
Greetings.
Please give way so that he can pass.
Please maintain decency.
What's the problem, Avarachan?
Do you want to throw him out or throw him in?
Appukuttan is here to help you.
Appukuttan, Shankaran had borrowed Rs. 10,000 from me
and has been avoiding me ever since.
It's been a while now.
It's today that I got a hold of him.
I want my money back, Appukuttan.
Is he trying to avoid you?
That isn't right, is it?
That's disloyalty.
Does he think that there isn't anyone here to question him?
Don't worry, Avarachan. I'll find a solution.
Mr. Shankaran, open the door. It's Appukuttan.
Hey, open it!
Please.
He has gone in.
You are all in for a show.
Only the ones who are gutsy enough to watch it, can stay here.
If Shankaran doesn't pay him back today..
"I'm on my homeward journey in the chariot of time."
"Running, striving all my way. To my safe haven."
Is it true that you borrowed Rs. 10,000 from Avarachan?
Yes. - How long has it been?
It's been a year. - You haven't returned it in a year.
You beat your dhol everyday before God, don't you?
How can you be so unfaithful?
Ten thousand rupees isn't a small amount.
You basically want to rest after borrowing money from others.
I have promised Avarachan.
If you don't pay him back today
I'll.. - Kill me.
Even if you kill us all
you wouldn't be able to find a single penny here.
No, Appukuttan.
Even this house is mortgaged.
Yes, I borrowed some money for my daughter's marriage.
My daughter and her husband
had promised to return the money later.
But they were lying.
It's not that I don't want to be unfaithful.
But I don't have the money.
My family is on the verge of starvation.
You can do whatever you want.
Don't cry..
Money isn't important, is it?
We're all humans, aren't we?
Only a human can understand his fellow beings.
I had cashed out this money from the bank to buy fertilizers.
The fertilizers can wait.
You can use it for the time being.
Listen up.
Don't tell anybody that I gave you this money.
Okay. - I'll note this down.
It's a loan. You must pay me back.
I will. I will for sure.
You can come to my place in the evening.
I will tell Mani to give you two sacks of rice.
Are you happy now?
Are you satisfied now?
Move on.
Here's your Rs. 10, 000.
I was planning to give it to you later personally.
Why didn't you give it if you already had it?
So, you do fear, don't you?
He must have got scared when Appukuttan went in.
That's what Appukuttan is all about.
How about I leave now? - Okay. - Sure.
Greetings. - Greetings.
Mr. Kunjar. - Yes.
Are you receiving the letters from your son in the army?
Yes, Appukuttan.
Mrs. Neeli.
Chathu Kutty isn't troubling you after getting drunk, is he?
Ever since you warned him
he comes home before six.
Very happy to hear it.
Mrs. Ambujam.
Your husband is still the same guy, isn't he?
Get lost! - Happy to hear it.
Appukuttan is a..
You gave him the money, didn't you? - Keep it low.
Why do you have to help others..
They're poor.
I can't just stand there doing nothing
when I see them cry.
'Thamarakulam bus stand. Donated by Appukuttan.'
Greetings, Appukuttan. - Greetings.
Hope all are fine.
Mrs. Sharada.
Why don't you stand under the shed? Make yourself comfortable.
My waiting shed doesn't leak, does it?
I spent Rs. 9,638.40 to build it.
Even the dam that was built spending millions leak.
Why wouldn't this shed leak?
It was very kind of you, Appukuttan.
It saves us from the rain and the sun. - Oh.
Didn't you hear them?
This is why I do such things.
I wasn't elected the panchayat member for nothing.
'Public well. Donated by Appukuttan.'
There's enough water, isn't there?
You don't have any shortage of drinking water, do you?
You don't need anyone to pull out the water, do you?
Shut up.
Appukuttan, can you install a TV to watch cricket in the library?
Hey, how dare you call him by his name?
Hey, Gomati.
He is Appukuttan to everybody including the one's born yesterday
and also for the one's who are waiting to die.
Are you getting your pension funds?
Yes.
Did your marriage get fixed? - Not yet.
Do you have any idea about how old you are?
You will be 30 this year.
You have a good memory. - Yes!
He was born into my hands.
He wasn't moving at all at that moment.
All feared him to be dead.
Then he started screaming his lungs out.
A plump baby he was.
Give me your hands.
Here. Buy something for yourself.
You will prosper.
Do you keep count of this? All she wants is money.
But it feels good to hear that. - Yeah, right!
What is this, Appukuttan? You had left at dawn.
You didn't even come home for lunch.
How could I leave before your return?
I had lots to do today.
You may leave, Kunjulakshmi Amma. - Okay.
I have prepared everything. Don't forget to eat.
Hey, Appukuttan
don't forget to get me kajal when you go to town.
Right!
Appukuttan has to bear the expense of the maid's daughter's Kajal.
You yourself are no better than us.
Come, Daughter.
Why did you dig your own grave?
I didn't see Vakkachan and Ahammedkutty yet.
I am taking a bath, Appukuttan. I'll be there in a bit.
Take your time. Use his oil, soap and water.
Have a nice bath.
Vakkachan is here.
The coconuts of Kizheparambu have been collected.
We collected only 4,300 coconuts.
After giving some to the worker, caretaker and the neighbours
we have 4,000 coconuts left.
Tell me how many will be left after deducting your commission.
13,620. - Okay.
The accounts are in it. - Okay.
Maniyan. - Yes?
Write it down. - I am writing it down.
Today's income, in coconut sales, is Rs. 13,620.
Okay. - Expenditure.
For helping Mr. Shankaran, we spent Rs. 10,000.
When Madhavikutty made a long face, we gave her Rs. 100.
Rs. 50 for that midwife's story.
In total, Rs. 10,150.
Then, we have to give two sacks of rice to Mr. Shankaran.
There is progress. - Damn, not so loud.
Mother will hear it.
I am sweating buckets.
I'll take a bath.
You may bathe but don't steal the soap.
Enough..
Ash will work better on you.
This is Cuticura, worth Rs. 66.75.
I don't want any of your things.
I don't want your Pears soap either.
I was running after Ramankutty all day today in Kaduvaseri.
To find a bride for you. - What!
Ahammedkutty!
What happened? Did you find a bride?
Let go of me. I won't tell you.
After all, you are my dear.
Stop frowning and tell me.
This is a pain now. Leave me. I'll tell you.
Vasudeva Panikkar's daughter, Omanakutty, is the bride. - Okay.
Your horoscopes match well.
How is the girl? - See for yourself.
Ahammedkutty, tell me the rest.
She is a nice girl. - Okay.
Her family is affluent - Oh.
I have promised them that I will get you there at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
Why not? We can go.
Broker Ramankutty will be at Madhavan's shop.
I too will be there. We can go together. - Okay.
Ahammedkutty, have dinner.
No, not now.
Just a little.
I already ate.
Omanakutty. A pretty girl.
Don't drool over her now.
We can decide how pretty she is after meeting her tomorrow.
There is nothing left to decide.
It will be wise to finalise the Kaduvaseri case.
This is not the 1st or 2nd but the 48th proposal for him.
He might not want to marry.
Once he is married, he won't be able to live his carefree life.
Do you want him to stay unmarried?
Everyone has to encourage him. - Do you think we don't?
Problems were aplenty.
Either the stars won't match or the girl won't like him.
If things continue this way
Appukuttan will never get married.
Not so fast, Kuttappan.
I will get him married.
Do you have any doubt? - Yes, I have.
Since you are the one who saw the girl, I have a doubt.
Oh, the broker is here.
Madhavan, get me a strong tea. - Okay.
It's 10 a.m. Isn't Appukuttan here yet?
No, he will get here soon. - He'll make some money today.
You have been doing this for months now.
Doesn't his partner Maniyan need a bride too?
There is one.
She is an Aries.
She is 5 feet 3 inches tall.
Face as red as a rose. She is the only daughter.
She has 1 kilo gold and Rs. 5,00,000 worth of property.
She is apt for him.
We can give her any work.
She will keep an eye on everything.
She has cross eyes.
One to the south and the other to the north.
Is your father married? - What an idiot!
How would I be born if my father wasn't married?
Then let your father marry this girl as well.
Madhavan, tea for two.
Okay.
What's with your wife, Madhavan?
She can't do this at home. That's why.
Make one without sugar.
Only I need to know that you have diabetes.
Why do you want to let others know?
Here, give it to them.
Hey, Appukuttan is here.
Madhavan! - Yes.
Didn't you leave yet? Make it quick.
We have to reach Kaduvaseri in the correct time cycle.
Okay.
'Lunch ready.'
'Shop closed for today.'
He was waiting for a reason to close the shop.
Mrs. Sarojini
the contractors working on Vattakuzhi road will come.
Ask them to wait in the shop. We'll be back soon.
I heard that Kozhikkaden Achuthan Nambyar
won't allow that.
That will never happen. That's what he thinks.
We will start it tomorrow.
Where is today's coffee date?
The girls here call your proposals
coffee dates.
Appukuttan, let us go. - Okay.
Stop yapping and start stitching.
Oh, God!
Poor guy, he saw a lot of girls.
I hope this one works out for him.
Yeah, right! Why is he searching all around the world?
Shameless.
Why are you jealous? - Wait and watch.
Appukuttan will end up with me.
The horoscope suggests an extremely fortunate period.
You can overcome your enemies.
According to his horoscope, he can even become a minister.
We are going to nominate him in the Thamarakulam elections.
But if that has to be fulfilled, Appukuttan has to get married.
Omanakutty and Appukuttan's horoscopes are a great match.
Have some coffee.
Okay.
You have struck gold.
A great girl. - This is a match. I liked the girl.
I liked her too. - What do you think?
I liked it. - The biscuit or the girl?
Both.
Let's not wait any longer.
We can get them married in the month of 'Chingam'.
We don't have any other demands.
As it's Appukuttan's marriage, the mood will be festive.
The entire village will attend his wedding.
We have no issues.
We can make it grand.
If you want to talk in private, you may.
No! I don't have anything to talk to her.
Let's conduct it in 'Chingam.'
She has something to tell you.
These days, ladies are way ahead of men.
What should I talk to her?
'Are you fine? Did you like me?'
'Shall we conduct the wedding in 'Chingam'?'
I had got a lot of proposals. But I wasn't happy.
I am proposing my love to someone for the first time.
That's how much I liked you, Omanakutty.
What about you?
Forgive me, I am not happy with this marriage.
It's not that I didn't like you. I am in love with someone else.
My parents don't know.
He is in Mumbai.
He had asked me to wait for him.
I will tell my parents after his return.
If they don't agree, I'll elope with him.
I've heard a lot about you. You are big-hearted.
This is the request of a girl who wishes to live.
Don't make me cry.
You have to back off from this wedding.
I beg of you.
No, don't do that.
Don't cry.
Don't cry!
It's okay, dear.
We are all humans.
We have to understand each other.
Don't worry. I'll back off.
Palakkad Harihara Iyer will cater the food.
Then there is no doubt. He is a great cook.
Madhavan. - Yes?
Maniyan, let's go. - What is it? - I didn't like the girl.
But you said you liked her. - That was the first impression.
But she isn't tall enough.
Appukuttan. - She reaches till your shoulder.
That's not enough.
She isn't fair enough and I don't have time to waste.
No! Appukuttan!
Hey! - Please don't abuse me.
What the hell are you doing? - Hey!
Are you trying to shame us? - Not now.
We'll look for another.
Let's go to Puliparambu. I know a girl there.
My foot! Don't make me start.
You just want to make money.
I am not going to see girls with you anymore.
Tell me, what was wrong with her?
There was a problem. She is in love with someone else.
She begged me to back off from the wedding.
And you fell for it. - What else could I do?
How could I marry a girl who is in love with someone else?
Isn't that bad?
She was such a nice girl. You aren't lucky enough.
Appukuttan.
Mother!
That proposal didn't go well, did it?
Mother, that.. - Your heart melted
when you saw her tears.
How will you get married then?
It's not because I don't want to.
Don't worry. You have a heart of gold.
You'll marry a good girl.
Only then will I rest in peace.
Mother..
I thank the people for assigning me with the inauguration
of road construction.
But the man, who is more eligible to inaugurate this
is Kumaran, the senior farmer of Thamarakulam.
I invite him to inaugurate this.
Kumaran, please come forward.
Wait. We need to get this story in the newspaper.
Where is the photographer? - Where is he?
I'm here..
Please repeat the inaugural address.
No, you just take the photograph.
Appukuttan, give him the spade. - Okay.
Appukuttan, please smile. Kumaran, please be happy.
Kumaran, it should come from within you.
Is he an actor to do all that?
A hard-working farmer, who works day and night
will only have one emotion. Take the photo!
Let's start!
Start..
Go.. - Take that.
Stop! Stop the construction.
He's messing with Appukuttan.
Don't construct a road through Achuthan Nambyar's land.
Who's order? - Kozhikkaden Achuthan Nambyar.
We have government permission. We'll do it.
Stop us if you can.
Where is Kozhikkaden?
How are you, Appukuttan?
Did your marriage get fixed?
I heard that the one from Kaduvaseri didn't work out.
What I'm actually thinking is
Despite his popularity, why can't he get a good bride?
Do you need my help?
You don't have any daughters from your affair
with Pachalam Thankamma for that, do you?
Appukuttan, let's not start an argument.
I won't let you construct a road through my land.
Didn't you agree in front of the minister?
That was back then.
The same minister used his influence to defeat me
in the election. You won because of that.
Wasn't that beneficial to everyone?
Enough! Appukuttan, what is the urgent need for a road?
Don't you know that we have to go to a hospital
via Vattakuzhi junction?
A woman in labour pain should travel eight kilometres for that.
Won't this road solve that problem?
That needs to be addressed only after you get married
and your wife gets pregnant. We'll see that later.
I won't let you construct this road.
We don't need your permission. Begin the work!
Thrash them!
Go away!
Go.. - Get in!
Go! Get in! Go away! - I'll show you!
Get in, guys!
Start the car!
"Come! Oh, sweet sparrow!"
"Do come.."
"Come! Oh, maid with the flowers!"
"Oh, Lord! The crow pheasant"
"saw the festive rituals! - We saw it.."
"Don't you want food"
"and a clean place to stay? - Don't you?"
"The chubby landlord and the skinny peasant"
"are happy with a grand harvest."
"The chubby landlord and the skinny peasant"
"are happy with a grand harvest."
"Oh, Lord! The crow pheasant"
"saw the festive rituals!"
"The women of Kottaramveedu"
"lives a luxurious life."
"Appukuttan is the saviour of this land."
"He owns a huge amount of farms."
"He is immensely rich."
"He is a saviour during tough times."
"He is too handsome."
"We'll worship you.."
"Come with us.."
"Oh, Lord! The crow pheasant saw the festive rituals!
"Feeding the poor"
"was my mother's pleasure."
"Oh, sweet mother!"
"Forgive my sins."
"Give us clothes."
"Give us other amenities."
"Be my mother in my next life too."
"Be my shelter."
"You are our luck!"
"Come.."
"Oh, Lord! The crow pheasant"
"saw the festive rituals! - We saw it."
"Don't you want food"
"and a clean place to stay? - Don't you need it?"
"The chubby landlord and the skinny peasant"
"are happy with a grand harvest."
"The chubby landlord and the skinny peasant"
"are happy with a grand harvest."
"Come! Oh, sweet sparrow!"
"Come! Oh, maid with the flowers!"
Tea.
You're working hard ever since I met you, Saraswati.
When will you stop it?
Does Ravunni visit?
It's better if he doesn't come.
Poor Saraswati!
When she's trying to raise those children
he will pester them.
How will there be peace?
He went to jail for stabbing someone.
He doesn't want a decent life.
He won't let them have one either.
It's sad!
The cow got rattled when I went to milk it.
I'm late because of that.
I managed to milk it somehow.
I can't let down my regular customers.
It's all right.
Though you're late
you're perfect in your work.
Aren't Ambili's results out yet?
It will come today or tomorrow.
I'm scared about that.
Why? Won't she clear it?
She will clear the papers. She expects a good score too.
After that..
Aren't you sending her to college?
I have struggled so hard to educate her.
Their results inspire me.
But I can't do it any longer, Sarojini.
So, what about Ambili? - She will come to work with me.
She can learn typewriting too.
I'll be relieved if she gets a job.
That's better. One should know his limitations.
Why should girls study?
Won't they be married off?
In my opinion, typing and tailoring classes will be enough for Ambili.
No one asked for your opinion.
You're jealous.
Get down.. Fast..
Give way!
Get down, mister. - Do you have the bag?
I didn't get the change. - I don't have any change.
How is everything in town?
No one bothers about you in town.
There are a lot of hospitals there. - Get lost.
I asked you what's trending in the town?
Yes.
There's a happy news for all of us, old woman. - Get lost.
Saraswati. I need Ambili's picture.
For what? - She has secured rank in pre-degree.
There's no time to talk.
I should take her photo to the newspaper office today.
Mr. Madhavan, Ambili secured a rank.
What? Rank?
Give me some 'Puttu', Mr. Madhavan.
As Ambili secured a rank, no 'Puttu' today. We shall go there.
No need to tailor today.
Saraswati, Sarojini. Come out!
Let's go, Chandrika. - Oh, I'm not coming.
I've a lot of work.
"This calls for a grand celebration."
"Did you know about the sweets in the feast?"
"The dark girl next door, Ms. Meenakshi."
Ambili..
What is it, Mom? What happened, Mr. Madhavan?
Dear! - No, I'll tell you.
You've a secured rank for pre-degree, Ambili.
Is it true, Mom? - Yes, dear.
'Dear folks! The one who secured rank for pre-degree'
'is the sweet little girl from our village, Ms. Ambili.'
'Be present tomorrow evening by 5 p.m.'
'at Thamarakulam Junction.'
'A felicitation ceremony for her will be hosted by Appukuttan.'
'Our beloved MLA, Mr. Sivakumar'
'will do the honours.'
Today will be a day marked in the history
of Thamarakulam.
Ambili's mom, Saraswati, worked hard
neglecting her own health to support her daughter.
She should be praised for her support and dedication.
I have understood that Ambili has a lot of dreams and desires.
But financial constraints, and the abandonment
from her dad, gave her a lot of sadness.
A meeting to appreciate her won't do any help.
We need to help Ambili in scaling greater heights.
We should encourage her.
It is our duty.
We hope Ambili has a bright future.
And I felicitate her with all due respect.
Dear people.
Hard work is needed for progress.
Many legends have risen
from the grips of poverty to great heights.
There are several examples.
I don't remember all the names.
Still I will point a few out.
Haji Mastan.
He was an ordinary labourer in Bombay.
Now he's a millionaire.
Then there's some.. Shobaraj.
Charles Shobaraj. - Yes. It's him!
He's famous all over the world.
How is this possible, friends?
By hard work!
Then there are others.
They do all social service by paying petty amounts
to get recognition.
It's something shameless and disgusting.
I won't stand for these kind of dramas.
Let Ambili work hard.
If she can't, we should get her married off.
This is my suggestion to Ambili and her mom.
What I'm saying is..
Like they say, 'Never twist the throttle with your ego'
what's the gain for commoners if Achuthan Nambyar is wealthy?
Achuthan Nambyar won't donate.
And he's mocking those who're willing to.
That is, neither will he prosper nor will he let others.
Our respected MLA might think that everyone
in Thamarakulam are de-motivating like Achuthan Nambyar. No!
There are people who can understand people's
sorrows and hardships, and help them come out of it.
I know the plight of Saraswati.
I've also heard that Ambili is very bright.
We should definitely encourage a girl like Ambili.
I know the pain of not getting educated.
Our MLA told that Ambili has a lot of dreams.
Whatever it may be, she may learn whatever she wants.
I'm ready to spend any amount of money for her.
This is the promise made by Appukuttan
the son of Velayudhan Menon from Kottaramveedu.
Was that wrong, Mother?
They are poor, Mother.
After all, it's for her education.
I couldn't study.
It's okay.
My mom is smiling.
So, you agree, right?
You're the only person whom I can talk to, Mother.
I don't remember my dad.
Dad earned and saved a lot for me.
Don't worry, Mother.
I won't waste all the wealth.
Who needs this much wealth?
When I have a family, this house and yard will be enough.
I only need a girl who can live with that.
I'm going to educate Ambili.
If you complain after giving your consent
I'll show you my true colours.
Yes. He's coming.
Yes. Did your mom give her consent? - Yes.
She didn't and she won't.
Let me go and ask her. - No.
I know my mom better than you guys.
We know you better than your mom.
When you get a chance, don't make promises like this.
There are a lot of religious orators who do that.
They don't have anything to lose.
What did that MLA do?
Did he make any promises?
He gave a speech and got applauded.
Was there any loss for him?
What about you?
Who are you to educate her?
This is not like everyday tasks, Appukuttan.
Do we know what that girl has in her mind?
He has made a promise, right?
He is going to make her dreams come true.
There is no limit for dreams.
My dream is to convert my tea stall into a five star hotel.
Will it happen?
I want to marry Ms. Meenakshi Seshadri. Will you help me out?
Leave Ms. Meenakshi Seshadri
that dairy owner's daughter, Meenakshi, won't marry you.
Never desire things that you won't get. Her desire is to study.
Do you know how much you would have to spend?
What if she wants to become a doctor, engineer
or an IAS officer? - I will educate her. - What?
I made a promise in front of our own people.
Appukuttan will keep his word.
Appukuttan!
Sister! It's Appukuttan.
Mom! Appukuttan is here.
Please come inside.
Get a cup of tea, Ambili. - Okay. - No.
I didn't make a fake promise yesterday.
Everyone can't study well. It's all luck.
Skill and opportunities don't favour everyone.
I'll get you the facilities.
I've only studied till eighth grade.
I don't know what you should study, Ambili.
You should decide that.
Don't shy away thinking about the money required.
Tell me what you want to study.
Tell Mr. Appukuttan about your plan.
Sister wants to attempt the medical entrance.
If she cracks it, she'd like to do MBBS..
She'll crack it.
It will be a great achievement if Thamarakulam gets a doctor.
Don't worry thinking about Ambili's future.
I've made a promise.
I won't break it.
This is a small token.
I don't know how much money will have to be spent.
Just tell me. I'll arrange it.
Shall I leave then?
You didn't have tea. - It's okay.
I'll stay for tea next time. I have work going on in my field.
Hey. I'll keep track of this.
Everything needs to be accounted, right?
Don't worry.
Even if it's waste, it has to be accounted, right?
You should always be grateful to Appukuttan, dear.
I had never thought in my dreams that all this would happen.
You are a very lucky girl.
Mr. Ramendra Poduval told that you will reach great heights.
It has become true now.
Not yet.
She should crack the entrance, Mom.
All the people must have known by now.
Look. Don't embarrass us, okay?
I'm already anxious.
Don't stress me, Chinnu.
She's not like you.
She's only focused on her studies.
Everyone who have secured a rank
in pre-degree might not crack the entrance.
Aparna who passed with first class
after struggling, cracked the entrance last year.
The girl who got the first rank didn't crack it.
Luck is a major factor.
Mr. Poduval has said that you have it in plenty.
Oh, God!
Please bless me with luck, at least in my next birth.
There's no limit to what she says.
You'll crack it, dear. I'm sure.
Rs. 10,000 was not needed now.
We need money only when I join college.
Then, why can't you settle the loan taken from Mr. Moosa, Mom?
He has been asking for a long time.
I'll take care of Mr. Moosa.
Even if we starve, I won't spend the money Appukuttan gave me
for nothing other than her studies.
It's a sin.
Who is it?
Open the door.
Dad!
What are you three discussing?
Did you know? Our daughter has secured a rank.
I know.
We shall continue.. - Continue?
Appukuttan will educate her, right?
I got to know another thing.
I heard that Appukuttan gave you money.
Oh, no! Mom.
Don't. At least for our child's future.
Get lost!
I'm roaming around penniless. I don't care about her future.
After my needs are taken care of, we will think about hers. - No.
I won't give it. - Take your hands off.
Please don't do this. You don't support us.
Please let others help us. - Get lost! - Oh, no. Mom.
Don't. It's for her education.
Oh! As if your daughter will become the collector.
Damn.
She doesn't have to study anymore.
And getting help is fine.
But you should live respectfully.
Or else, I'll destroy you.
Three cups of strong tea, Mr. Madhavan.
It seems like you had a fight instead of meeting the girl.
We should have fought.
I got really angry. But we need to be decent, right?
Decency! If you hadn't stopped me, I would have beat them up.
This is why he doesn't get a bride.
Someone should accept his character, right?
Hey, you might not like the girl.
Sometimes, she might not like you.
What is the point in fighting?
That's not the issue, Mr. Madhavan.
Now you see what happens if I don't come, right?
What happened, Appukuttan? Is it the same story once again?
We should meet the girl for that, right?
The problem started before that.
We somehow got him here.
We are done with Ramankutty's alliances. - What did I do?
Is it my fault that the previous 49 proposals got cancelled?
Don't worry. We'll check out another proposal.
Appukuttan's 50th proposal will be on India's 50th Independence day.
It will happen.
He'll bother you continuously, for the brokerage.
Don't consider horoscope, caste or religion anymore, Appukuttan.
Every girl in Thamarakulam will come with you, if you ask.
He should ask, right?
What happened, Appukuttan?
That girl's dad, the bloody old man is saying that I'm a drunkard
a ruffian and a hooligan.
Isn't it true?
Someone must have got back at us.
We got him, Appukuttan.
It's Achuthan Nambyar.
He is the one who ruined this.
Is it? Then we shall ask him. Come on.
'Lunch ready. Shop closed.'
That's another reason for starting a new fight.
I'm not thinking about that.
Who could be the 50th girl? - It won't be you, for sure.
What?
So, that proposal got cancelled as well?
There's no chance for that.
Didn't you tell them that I was a ruffian and a drunkard?
So what?
Don't you drink?
Don't you behave like a ruffian at times?
What did you say on the stage that day?
Never twist the throttle with your ego.
My dear!
Shouldn't I pay you back for that?
I did spoil this proposal.
People value what I say as well. I had to prove it to you.
Get lost! Idiot.
I'll get back at you.
Your son is in the US, right?
Let me see how he gets married.
He'll not get married in this vicinity or this district
or even from this state.
Let's see how he gets married.
You're right, Appukuttan.
I will tell everyone visiting the tea stall
that his son is married to a foreigner.
Not only that.
I'll tell that he got AIDS as dowry.
Damn you, rascals!
You don't know me well.
We know. We know you well.
I've heard that your ancestors were servants in my house.
I've also heard that you became what you are
eating the food from my house.
If you utter a word about that house..
Are you threatening me with your men?
This is just a warning.
If you spread rumours about me again
I will squeeze the life out of you.
Mom..
What is it?
I got the admission.
That too, at the Trivandrum Medical College.
I told that when you got a good score for the entrance
that you will get admission at a good college.
Dear Goddess!
I can't believe this.
It's because of the blessing of the Goddess.
It is because of Appukuttan's blessings as well, Mom.
Today is the day of the admission at college, right?
I forgot about it as I was busy.
Get his blessings, dear.
Oh! What is this?
I'm not eligible for this. - You are.
Especially, in her matter.
Tell him, dear.
I don't know if you remember.
On your mother's second death anniversary
you conducted feasts and gave poor children clothes, books, slates
and pencils that day.
I started studying using the slate and pencil I got from you.
Now you've blessed me with another opportunity.
I don't remember any of that.
Nevertheless, you should reach great heights, Ambili.
You will.
Shall I leave, sir?
What did you call me? Sir? No.
Call me Appukuttan, like everyone here.
Shall we leave, then? - Oh.
Maniyan. - What? - Get Rs. 5,000.
Oh, we don't need it now.
We have the money you gave.
Mr. Ravunni took a lot from that, right?
Well, I've saved some by selling my goat.
That was not needed.
I've told you, right? Ask me if you need anything.
Here. - Take it, ma'am.
Keep some cash when you're travelling. And listen, Ambili.
Children from rich families will be studying with you.
You shouldn't feel inferior on seeing their lifestyle.
I'll get you the money when you need it.
One more thing.
If you face any problems in your college
like the ones we read in newspapers
about bullying newly joined students..
What's it called, Maniyan? - Well, it's called ranking.
Ragging. - Yes. About that.
If anyone bothers you, don't hesitate to inform me.
You're right. We have fought only in and near Thamarakulam.
You should give us a chance to start a fight in the town, Ambili.
Will you keep quiet?
Stop scaring her.
It's not like that.
A girl from Thamarakulam shouldn't be scared of anyone.
We will be there.
Shall we.. - Yes.
Mr. Madhavan and Ms. Sarojini will give you company.
They'll come with you.
Okay. - Okay.
They're helpless.
Her dad should go for her college admission, right?
It's good that he's not going. He'll spoil everything.
He has kept them at the tip of a knife.
You're right.
It's evident in Ambili's face.
It's the first time she's staying away from home.
She can't stay away from her sister.
She will feel homesick for just a few days.
After that, it will be awesome.
I am leaving her here with you all.
Please take care of her like your own.
Don't worry, ma'am. Be brave.
The next time you visit, she will be a new person.
You should study well, Ambili. - Okay.
Shall I leave, dear? - Okay.
Shall I leave? - Okay.
Mr. Madhavan. - Yes, Ambili?
I only have my mom and sister. My dad.. - Don't worry.
We're all there, right?
I have not even dreamt of something like this.
I don't know how to thank that big hearted person.
You should tell him, Mr. Madhavan.
I'll be grateful to him.
I can't express it through words.
I will send letters regularly. He's quite a busy man, isn't he?
However, do ask him to write back.
Sure.
'Respected.. It still puzzles me. I don't know how to address you.'
'Your uniqueness and character still remains in my thoughts.'
'I've told my friends about my sponsor.'
'Everybody is eagerly waiting to meet you.'
'Please do visit me at college.'
'Please don't deny.'
'My classes have started. I'm doing good at studies.'
'Every morning before class, I picture you in my thoughts.'
'It really inspires me.'
'Please pray that I reach great heights.'
'I know that you would. There's nothing much to say.'
'Yours loving, Ambili.'
46. - What is 46?
He is reading out her letter for the 46th time.
Her intentions are getting clear every time we read it.
How does the letter start, Maniyan?
'Respected, period..'
'It still puzzles me how I'm supposed to address you.'
Followed by periods.
Did you understand? - Yes, I did.
Her heart is in the spaces between those words.
That's my opinion as well.
That won't be it.
Wasn't she raised by the arrogant Ravunni?
Probably her full stops are just to represent her pain.
Okay. I agree.
The fact that she pictures
that person who is lying down there
in her thoughts every day before class
is something I really don't understand.
That day when we returned from her hostel
I was sure of this after having noticed her mannerisms.
Now with the letter, it all makes sense.
Ambili is in love with Appukuttan! - Yes!
Why aren't you speaking, Appukuttan? - How would he?
Isn't that a newlywed's mind?
"The new groom had a thought."
"He had a thought." - Stop!
Damn. What has she written in the letter?
She's not supposed to have such thoughts.
That's.. That's all wrong.
We need to put an end to it. - Such a saint.
Yes. Girls may make mistakes.
It's our responsibility as elders to correct them.
Love is not a joke.
We're going to the college tomorrow itself.
What for? - To advise her.
Won't this romance and love affect her studies?
I've already spent around Rs. 15,000.
I have no idea on how much I would have to spend further.
And her stupid romance.
He is saying it because he is drunk.
No. I'm sober.
We're going to meet her tomorrow.
Good morning, sir. - I will come back.
Hi, ma'am.. - Hello!
Where are you off to? - Come on. - Who are you? - Seriously?
This is Appukuttan.
Member of Thamarakulam panchayat. Haven't you heard of him?
No. What can I do for you?
We need to meet Ambili.
He pays for her education. - Yes.
An amount of Rs. 15,000 has already been spent on her.
Where could she be at the moment?
Why don't you search the skies for her?
We can't permit you inside for now.
Excuse me? Were you mocking us?
You seem quite healthy. Why would you want to trouble yourself?
So, you've come prepared, haven't you?
I suggest that you leave this premises without creating any fuss.
Go now! Go!
He hasn't recognised us.
We won't leave unless we meet her.
Don't we need our stamina
if someone tries to defend us?
Yes. And I have the perfect tonic for it, some soda.
Bring it out. - Yes. - Is it mixed?
Half soda and half alcohol.
Madhavan, you accompanied Ambili on her first visit to college.
Where should we go? - That's what I'm trying to figure out.
I had met the principal at his office.
I had noted some trees on my way.
Where is it now? - Quit playing around.
Go and find Ambili. - I will.
Those trees..
Didn't I spot..
Let's search for her as well.
And go sightseeing as well. Let's go.
Hello?
People would think that we're here to ogle around.
Let's search inside the classrooms. - Is that necessary?
Yes. Why not? They're not going to hang us, right?
Let's go!
See, pathogenesis of Ti.. - Ambili.. - ...and transmission
Ambili. - Ambili. - Ambili.
Ambili.. - Ambili.. - Hey. Who are you?
What do you want? - Finally, Appukuttan.
Silence please. What do you want?
Sir, I'm Appukuttan.
You probably know that I'm the one who spends for Ambili's education.
Ambili is troubled.
Hence, I'm here to advice.
This is a classroom. Please don't disturb us.
Please clear out.
I think it wasn't clear to him.
I said, get out!
Why do you have to be so harsh? Can't you just tell it to us?
You had a fight with your wife, didn't you? - Get out!
Let's go. Ambili isn't here. - Let's go..
Nonsense! Inform the principal!
Yes.. - I though college professors were nice people.
They're worse than us. - There's no point in asking them.
Let's search for her by calling out her name.
She'll hear us calling her out and she'd come for us.
That's a good idea.
Why don't you and Vakkachan take this route?
We shall take the other route. - Okay.
Ambili! - Ambili!
Where is the class of Ambili from Thamarakulam?
Ambili from Thamarakulam?
Yes, the drunkard Ravunni's daughter. - Of which year?
Ew. There's nothing like that.
A girl of tan complexion. - She might be inside the lab.
Lab? Where's that?
Sir, I think they're goons!
They're disturbing classroom sessions. - What?
Call the security.
Ambili! - Ambili!
Ambili! - Am.. - Ambili.
Ambili! - Ambili!
'Ortho.'
Ortho. Are they trying to remind us anything?
Did we forget anything?
Oh, good Lord! No! - What?
They treat people here to help them recover their memory.
Oh, really? - Yes.
An ortho department for memory issues.
An E.N.T department for hearing impairment.
Sight department for eye disorders.
An 'Artho' department for hunger issues.
Too many varieties of treatment, aren't they? - Of course. - Ambili!
Ambili!
'Lab.'
Lab. She might be in here.
Ambili..
Ambili! Damn..
Where is Ambili from.. Oh, God!
Ambili! Dr. Ambili!
Ambili! - Sir, have you seen Dr. Ambili!? - Get lost!
Doctor? - Ambili!
Oh, God!
Appukuttan! - Catch them!
Get them! - Appukuttan! - Stop there!
Stop there! - Appukuttan! - Appukuttan!
Stop there! - Don't run! Stop!
Appukuttan!
Are you trying to mess with me?
Maniyan! - Yes! - Thrash them all! - Go ahead!
Oh, God!
Ambili. We believe it's your neighbours.
They've been running around classrooms searching for you.
A man who is too tall with a handlebar moustache.
They've thrashed the security men! - They've got three of them.
One of them is yet to be found. - Yes.
Ambili!
Do you know them?
They're from my village.
This is Appukuttan. He sponsors me.
Oh.
I'm Maniyan. I'm Vakkachan. And I'm Kunjahammedkutty.
You can address me as Ahammedkutty.
Oh, I see.
Sir, what about the dead body?
Transfer it to the post-mortem table. - Okay.
So, you're her sponsor, aren't you? - Yes, sir.
I've spend Rs. 15,000.. - Don't you have manners?
Is this how you search for a student?
Don't you need to follow certain discipline at the college?
The entire class was disturbed because of them.
Should we call the police? - No, sir.
They're innocent. They weren't aware.
Please forgive them once.
Don't ever repeat it. You can go!
Sir, our friend, Madhavan, is missing.
A missing case as well?
He might be somewhere. Please leave! Nonsense!
Sir, we have another corpse in the place of one.
One among them could be Madhavan.
That was just sad. I had built a good image for you around here.
It's ruined now.
Is this how my sponsor comes to meet me?
That's not the concern.
Sarojini is definitely blessed.
Else, they would've cut him open for a post-mortem.
Come straight to the reception, the next time.
Or else, come to my hostel.
It brings me happiness to meet you.
You're clothes are ruined! What would you do?
That's not a matter to us.
I don't wish to introduce my sponsor to anybody like this.
What we're really here for..
Let them speak. Let's go.
Where are you off to? - Please continue.
You're suffering a lot for me.
No, that's okay.
Well, do you know why I'm here for?
What for? - To advise you.
I had received your letter. I read it, too.
Did I mention anything wrong?
Yes. That's why I decided to advise you.
Here is the thing. Everything has its own time.
Let the time come. - What do you mean?
Girls at your age are prone to mess around with their feelings.
Please don't mess with them.
Only concentrate on your academics for now.
I know. I'll obey as you say.
I'll concentrate on my academics. I'll study really hard.
That's enough. I'll leave then. - Okay.
Hang on.
Please don't walk around looking like this.
Please buy new clothes for yourself on the way.
It upsets me to see you leave like this.
I'll see you.
Mom, should I have not gone to meet Ambili?
What can I do?
That little girl is in love with me.
This might sound funny to you, Mom.
However, I'm serious. Such girls are dangerous.
First, it would be the letters. And depression if there's no reply.
Ultimately, they'd lose their focus.
I met her to advise about it.
Let her study well.
Let her not focus on anything else for now. Right, Mom?
Mom is smiling.
Looks like I've made my point. Good night.
Did I hear you say something, Mom? Yes, you did.
I must meet her often? I don't really wish to.
But as you insist, I will meet her.
I happened to be a responsible man.
Where are you off to in the morning?
I have to go to town. I've got lots to do.
You should not always live for the people.
Any news from Ambili? - No.
Why do you ask? - Didn't she write to you?
No, Kunjulakshmi.
Probably she'd be hesitant to write to you.
She would've written a letter to mom.
We were just talking about you.
You're blessed, Saraswati.
We received a letter from Ambili. - We were just talking about it.
Please carry on.
Please come inside, Saraswati.
She mentioned that you had visited her at college.
I'm glad that you did. I'm sure she's happy.
Did she write anything about me? - She speaks a lot about you.
It was all about you.
And.. - What is it?
I'm hesitant to ask you. But.. - Tell me.
We're in need of some money. She wants to buy some books.
Why not? Haven't I told you already?
You can ask for as much as you require.
You need not ask often.
It will upset Ambili.
I will give you some money.
No. If I take that money home.. Don't you know how it is at home?
If it's given to Ambili, she will deposit it in the bank.
That can be arranged.
A money order would be enough. - That's not required.
These days, we can't trust money orders.
They make a lot of mistakes.
I'll give it to her by myself. - Won't that be an inconvenience?
Send it with Maniyan or Vakkachan. - No, it isn't a bother for me.
I shall do it myself. Is that okay?
Shall I leave? - Yes.
Do let her know that we're doing fine. - Sure.
Ambili.
Men would throw themselves at you if you're not brave enough.
Do you see anybody trying their tricks on me?
That's because you're brave. Is Ambili anything like that?
The seniors have already gathered that she's innocent.
That's where it all went wrong.
I shall rescue you from oglers.
Ambili, you have a guest waiting for you.
The innocent one is not so bad either.
Father!
What's wrong, Ambili? - It's nothing.
Hello, dear. How are your academics?
Study well and reach great heights.
What brings you here, Father? - Can't I visit you?
I wished to see you, so here I am.
You're drunk.. - I'm not drunk now.
However, I'll have to.
I have to arrange a feast for someone.
I'm working hard for our family, dear.
Do you have any money? - No.
You don't! Why do you have to lie to your father?
Father, we're at my hostel.
It's all the same for me.
Give me the money if you have any! Quit wasting my time!
Didn't I already tell you? - Are you that bold?
Give me your purse! You bitch! - Father!
Didn't you say that you were empty handed?
Probably, this is your mom's idea.
You'll never do well in life!
If you ever try to mess with me.. You know me well, don't you?
I won't give it to you. Mom worked hard for it.
Please don't sell it for liquor!
Get lost!
Your mother's bloody hard work! Let go of me.
Please don't, Father. Please listen.. - Back off!
Leave me! - Father!
That's her purse. Return it.
I won't!
Mr. Ravunni, don't embarrass her.
Let her study here in peace.
Who are you to support her?
I know how to educate and raise her.
I'm her father.
Did you hear him? He calls himself her father.
Don't you have fathers of your own?
Have you heard of a father who grabs his daughter's purse?
I'm sure that you haven't. Well, see for yourself.
Stealing your daughter's money for drinks, shame on you..
Uncultured man. Return it to her!
I'm capable of stopping her studies right now! Do you want to see?
That's not possible, Ravunni.
Not when I am alive. You won't touch her.
Are you the dimwit who takes care of my daughter? Are you?
Heard that he is a thug but he is getting beaten.
It's not that I don't know how to react.
You happen to be her father.
Also, Ambili has warned me about the rules here.
I don't let people offend me.
I am a scoundrel! Don't provoke me.
Give her the purse! - No!
You're done paying for her education! Let's go!
Leave her! Give it here!
Asshole!
Don't you dare touch him!
Some father you are! You are nobody to me.
You have no authority over me.
What does he mean to you? - He is like God to me.
He is everything to me.
He is like God to me. He is everything to me.
Appukuttan..
Appukuttan. Appu..
Appukuttan.. - Who are you?
It's me, Ramankutty. - Oh, Ramankutty. - Yes.
What brings you here at this hour?
I've found something great for you.
Savithri from Payipra.
She's five feet four inches tall and weighs fifty kilos.
She's wheatish gold in complexion. Great horoscope. A pure beauty.
Her family.. - Enough.
You can quit looking for a bride.
Excuse me? I had promised to take you for the bride seeing ceremony.
I'm not coming. I don't want to see anybody.
I've found a bride myself.
I'm satisfied.
Oh, God! I'll end up on the streets.
What are you doing? - Appukuttan!
To be honest
my family survives on the brokerage that you give me.
What would I do now?
Don't worry. Why don't you join me?
Who is that woman? - I won't tell you now.
I've found her. I've found my girl!
Appukuttan has found his girl!
Appukuttan is getting married!
Appukuttan is getting married..
Appukuttan is getting married!
"I will take good care of you"
"my love, as elegant as the moonlight."
"When the jasmine flowers rest at night"
"I shall worship you."
"The doors opened on their own."
"The fragrance spread across the room."
"You came as my beloved."
"I will take good care of you"
"my love, as elegant as the moonlight."
"The eyes search in vain"
"desperately for your arrival."
"The eyes search in vain"
"desperately for your arrival."
"Didn't my name get etched in your heart?"
"Didn't you bewitch me with your smile?"
"The colours sought refuge in you."
"And life became colourful."
"I will take good care of you"
"my love, as elegant as the moonlight."
"The sound of your anklets"
"made the stars twinkle."
"The sound of your anklets"
"made the stars twinkle."
"Did your thoughts become real?"
"Didn't those dreams embrace you?"
"Aren't you my bride?"
"Don't we have an eternity to live?"
"I will take good care of you"
"my love, as elegant as the moonlight."
"When the jasmine flowers rest at night"
"I shall worship you."
"The doors opened on their own."
"The fragrance spread across the room."
"You came as my beloved."
"I will take good care of you"
"my love, as elegant as the moonlight."
Appukuttan.. - Yes?
Yesterday was our first night. The wedding was splendid. - What?
I don't know how to thank you.
Next comes the honeymoon. It should be splendid.
She wants to go to Kashmir. That's okay.
Book two tickets. Make it fast.
What? - Did he get married?
Don't you try to fool us!
How dare you get married without telling us?
Don't sleep so well! - Get up!
Was that a dream?
You scared us!
Where did you go yesterday?
Madhavan! Maniyan! You guessed it right.
She.. She loves me!
What? - Ambili?
Did you go to her college yesterday? - Yes.
Do you know what she told me?
That I am everything to her!
She said I'm like God to her! - Appukuttan!
Since they love each other
there is no point in delaying their marriage.
How can that be? Isn't she studying?
After marriage comes pregnancy, delivery..
It will go along with her studies.
Why are you startled, Appukuttan?
Is it because Ravunni won't agree to this?
Ask him to get lost! Leave this to us!
Shut up! I'm thinking about a serious matter.
How much will it cost to start a hospital?
I can help you with starting a tea-shop.
Why do you need a hospital? - I need one.
There must be a hospital in Thamarakulam.
We just need to renovate the building in Melemuri.
Okay. If today's booze demands a hospital, let it be.
Yes. - The hospital must have a good name.
I will suggest a name. Appukuttan Memorial Hospital.
That is for the deceased!
Appukuttan is still alive, isn't he?
Then go with Hospital By Appukuttan. - That won't do.
Appukuttan's Clinic. Good!
That's good.
What about the doctor? - The doctor.. Dr. Ambili.
Ambili will return as a doctor in five years.
Only then will I disclose everything.
It shouldn't affect her studies. I'm 30 years old.
Ambili is 20. After five years
I'll be 35 and Ambili will be 25.
There's an age gap of 10 years.
That doesn't matter, does it? - No! It's a horoscopic match.
That's good.
A marriage that Thamarakulam has never seen before.
A grand feast!
And a concert too. Yesudas can perform.
Achuthan Nambyar will be so jealous!
It will be fun, won't it?
Sloths! They're all drunk!
Ambili, this is destiny.
Why else would 49 proposals fail?
I sponsored you without expecting anything.
Despite all my drawbacks, when you told me that I'm everything to you
I started loving you.
I'll buy you a gift every year.
I don't know what you like.
Expensive watches, golden chain
a beautiful necklace.. I'll cover you in gold.
You must be amazing! And a saree from Kanchipuram.
We'll buy it directly from there.
Ambili, we'll go to Kanchipuram together.
Okay?
I won't get drunk no matter how much I drink today.
Today is my day.
I will wait for five years.
'Five years later.'
'Appukuttan's Clinic, Thamarakulam.'
Greetings!
Madhavan, go there! - Okay.
Take two more bottles. - Here!
You might have thought that I won't come.
Though we are rivals
I accepted your invitation.
How is the hospital, Achuthan Nambyar?
Why spend money unnecessarily?
Whom are you trying to impress?
Your ancestors have left you plenty of money.
When my ancestors acquired wealth
his ancestors accumulated a lot of misdeeds.
That is destiny!
Greetings!
Take the kid. Let me take Appukuttan's photo.
You too admired him, didn't you?
Chandrika, you can deliver the next child in this hospital.
We can book a room in advance.
Why aren't Jayalakshmi and Radhika here? - I don't know.
Didn't I tell you? - Why are you still here?
Go inside. - Don't worry, Ravunni.
Even her chair is ready.
Your sponsor is on a roll.
Ravunni changed a lot.
It's Appukuttan's money. - Every thug has a good time.
That.. - Madhavan! Will the refreshments suffice? - Yes.
Vakkachan. - Yes? - Do you have enough money?
Yes.
The MLA is here.
Greetings. - Greetings.
Come.. Move!
Come!
Please sit over there..
Move, please.
I haven't planned this to be a grand function.
Then again, let me say something in advance.
The people here won't have to go to Vattakuzhi hospital.
Better treatment at a low price.
I assure you that.
Let me also add..
To make Ambili a doctor
I had to spend Rs 2,80,112 till now.
I had to spend Rs 1,23,317 for renovating this hospital
and buying better equipment.
I've recorded everything.
It's doesn't mean that you have to pay me back.
Neither do I need it.
But it needs to be recorded.
Time.. - Okay, MLA has to return to Trivandrum after this function.
Therefore, let me conclude my speech.
Let me invite our MLA Mr. Sivakumar for inaugurating this hospital.
Respected friends
I'm lucky enough to stand in front of you after winning
another election. I'm indeed lucky to be a part of this function
as I still remember giving my best wishes to Ambili five years ago
in a welcome function we had organized for her.
Not only did Appukuttan
help Ambili become a doctor
but he also opened a hospital to make her service available to us.
The people of Thamarakulam are indeed lucky to have him here.
If Dr. Ambili's intellect and hard work
and Appukuttan's generosity and strength comes together
this would surely be a place filled with goodness.
So, shall I.. - Have some snacks.
That's okay. - Okay, thank you.
Vakkachan, escort him. - Okay.
Let's go. Why should we listen to his bragging?
How long will it last?
Why the hell are you standing here? Go home.
Why has Ravunni befriended Achuthan Nambyar?
Isn't there something suspicious?
Ravunni is the perfect mate for Nambyar's barbarity.
Now go and sit in your chair.
Have a seat. - Come on.
Hope you liked this hospital.
Everything is ready for you. Tell me if you need anything more.
The nurses are ready.
Meet Gracie, Katrina and Kamala Devi.
We recruited them from Revathy Hospital.
They are vastly experienced.
Compounder Ramankutty is ready.
This is your new compounder. - Hello.
Isn't he broker Ramankutty? How can he be a compounder?
One should've the required experience for it.
He is qualified for it. He can take injections.
Can't you? - Yes.
I'd worked as a compounder under a vet
for three months before becoming a marriage broker.
That won't do any good.
You cannot say so.
I've the right to appoint a compounder in my hospital.
Doesn't the owner have any rights?
Okay, if you insist, let him be the attender.
That would be more than enough.
Is the attender superior to the compounder?
No, it would come in between the nurse and the compounder.
Then it's okay.
The inauguration is over. Now, the treatment should begin.
Yes, the doctor needs to start it by treating someone.
There aren't any patients here.
Then I'll be the first patient. - Okay.
Let you be the first patient even though you don't have any illness.
Who said that?
Doctor, at night I feel burning sensations in my heart.
An itching sensation in my stomach.
Some issues with my lungs and a pounding heart.
Also, headache, vertigo and dizziness.
I'm not able to sleep at all.
Your name? - V. Appukuttan, from the Kottaramveedu. Age 35.
Nurse, please bring one tetracycline injection. - Oh, God!
This is the first necklace I'd bought for her.
The coin necklace which I'd bought the next year.
A wrist watch made of gems.
Bangles and costly necklaces
and also Kanchipuram silk saree.
It's for her marriage.
There is no point in keeping it as if in a museum.
Shouldn't she be aware of this? - Yes, she should.
This is the right time. She would be waiting to hear that.
Did you listen to the MLA's speech?
If Ambili's intellect and hard work and Appukuttan's strength unite
that is, if we bond together
the place would be filled with goodness.
Did you notice her expression when it was said?
I didn't feel anything special.
You've been keeping this in your heart for the past five years.
How will you know what's there in her mind?
She already said that I'm like God to her.
That's different from being a boyfriend.
She also said that I'm everything to her.
She can say that about her father too.
That day, you guys were saying that she might be in love with me.
Yes, we did. It may not be the case now.
You guys cannot understand my situation.
I know. You used to get high after four shots.
Now, even after drinking a full bottle, you're intact.
Don't joke around. He is serious.
Stop it! She would be mine.
She loves me and we'll surely get married.
Why are you getting angry at us?
As a broker, I'd the chance to talk to different types of girls.
So, I know their psychology.
Today, Ambili is a doctor.
As she scales greater heights, her likes changes accordingly
That's right. In psychology it's known as 'Engomaniacka'.
Whatever it is, you shouldn't wait any longer.
You should share your feelings with her.
I second that. - Yes.
Tomorrow itself, I'm going to talk to her.
You sure? - Yes.
Take your medicines on time. - Okay.
Bhargaviamma.
Appukuttan! Are you still ill?
Only you can cure my illness.
Many people are waiting outside.
Let them wait. I own this hospital.
For you, everyone else is inferior to me, right?
What do you want? - I need to talk to you.
Ambili.. - Say it quickly. Don't trouble the patients.
That is what I've to say. Don't trouble me.
I can't wait anymore.
We need to do this quickly. - What?
Our marriage.
I know that you love me. Still there are certain customs.
You just have to nod. I'll take care of the rest.
I'll take care of everything.
What happened?
Appukutan, my marriage was fixed long back.
The guy is a doctor. He is smart and handsome.
He is well mannered.
Won't it be better if a doctor gets married to another?
Wouldn't that be the right thing?
Take a deep breath. - Get up!
Get up, you worthless.
What is this, Appukuttan? - What is your problem?
Chest pain. - Don't you have pain anywhere else?
You can consult some government hospital.
Get lost..
What are you doing?
You shouldn't treat these young people.
The times are bad. - One can't live today with such thoughts.
I'm a doctor. - Above all, you're a women.
I can surely say that he is perfectly all right.
He would have come here to meet the beautiful doctor.
I will kill him!
If you get married, you will ask your wife to wear a purdah.
If that's required, I'll do that too.
You're so pure at heart.
Patients are waiting for me.
Let me go.
I have something important to tell you.
Now? - Yes. - Okay, tell me.
Doctor, the patient on drips is shivering. - Okay.
I'm sorry.
Bloody shivering!
Ravunni, is paratha and mutton ready?
Everything is ready. I was waiting for you. Come..
Keep it ready. We are coming.
Okay..
Didn't Ahammedkutty's daughter come today? - I don't know.
Nice blouse. - Will you please leave!
Oh, she is angry. Let's go. - We need to meet.
There is development everywhere else.
But in Thamarakulam, this is how it is.
Should I shift my shop from here?
She made a fool of us. - It's okay. Let's have food.
Many such people would visit my shop.
They're Nambyar's men. I cannot discord them.
Nambyar had helped me in starting that business.
They had earned that money by cheating Appukuttan.
What the hell did you say? You!
She didn't say anything.
Please try to make them understand.
Not at all. I want them.
It was Nambyar's money
that saved you all the hard work
and helped us build this house.
I can't go against him.
Oh, I heard that you're working really hard.
There is no use in working hard for anyone else.
We've to take care of ourselves
I am not working hard for anyone else.
It's for the hospital and Appukuttan.
I'm obliged to him.
He built a hospital to brag about it.
Can a hospital work without a doctor?
I won't let him earn money using my daughter.
I can't forget my roots.
Yes. Keep that in mind.
We'd strived a lot.
Now I'm able to drink scotch instead of the local liquor.
Don't take me back to the old times.
Don't forget that you've a sister.
This isn't right. Why can't you oppose him?
He shouldn't be saying such things about Appukuttan.
What is his intention?
Why are you silent?
God won't forgive us if we forget what Appukuttan did for us.
I'm aware of it. But I'm scared of your father.
I cannot oppose him.
"I'll leave a single flower in the plant."
"To adorn it on your hair."
Why are you standing here? Go and take care of the farm.
What's the point in standing here?
I cannot accompany you for everything.
I cannot reach everywhere.
I've many other things to do.
Maniyan, go and collect the rent.
Vakkachan, go to the field. It's time to spray the pesticides.
You can go to the coconut field.
I know what to do. - Good to know.
Oh, God. It's 10 a.m. I've to go.
Where are you going? - To the hospital.
That's where you always are.
What is there in your mind?
I'll ask her today.
You've been telling this for the past one month.
Is it so difficult than presenting a budget in the parliament?
She doesn't even have time to take a deep breath.
Okay, then buy her Horlicks to gain energy.
I'm ready to buy the Horlicks company for her.
I'll surely ask her today, for sure.
Aren't you aware of other issues?
The market is in a state of complete chaos.
It's full of Nambyar's hooligans.
They're harassing girls.
People have started asking about you.
Tell them that he is too busy, as he is behind a girl nowadays.
The people of Thamarakulam are looking up to you.
We are looking forward to you. Please don't disappoint us.
Appukuttan. There is an issue.
Please come to the market.
Ravunni's men are disturbing college girls.
They're saying all kinds of things to Ahammedkutty's daughter.
That girl is weeping out there.
Appukuttan.
Get inside the vehicle.
"You resembled a lotus bud when I met you as a teen."
"You resembled a lotus bud."
"You resembled a lotus bud when I met you as a child."
"Like a flower filled with nectar."
Look, they're doing all this with Ravunni's support.
Till now, it was verbal abuse.
Now it got physical.
Ravunni, why don't you ask your friends to leave?
They're Kozhikkaden's men. They won't listen to me.
You can try your luck. - Okay.
Maniyan, my soda.
Isn't this Doctor Appukuttan?
He will grant all our wishes.
Doctor, can you please grant some place for us to play cards?
So, do you want to do this in Thamarakulam itself?
Does this place belong to your father?
Vakkachan!
Leave him!
Oh, God!
Madhavan, some cold water. - Ready!
Madhavan, a cup of tea. - Ready.
A tea for you.
Oh, God! Maniyan.
Oh, God!
Your forehead is bleeding.
Huh?
Oh!
'I got a reason to visit the hospital.'
Oh, I'm feeling dizzy.
I will faint now!
Hold him. - What happened to him?
He just fainted.
He was the one thrashing others. Then how did he faint?
He might've got hit in the sweet spot.
Start the jeep. Let's take him to the medical college.
No! Take me to Appukuttan's Clinic.
What?
He's unconscious, yet he is talking. This is new.
Let's take him.
Doctor.. Appukuttan fainted.
It wasn't an ordinary one.
So, you're conscious. - No.
I've completely lost it.
Still, I've to talk my heart out. I've been badly thrashed.
I should be admitted here for at least a week.
Careful..
Doctor! - Doctor!
Oh, God!
What happened to Appukuttan?
Make him lie down.
What happened? - Oh, no! - There was a fight at the market.
One of the hooligans thrashed him badly.
I think his brain is out of order.
He got punched in his chest. Will that affect his kidney?
He is still unmarried. Still they thrashed him so badly.
Will he survive?
Hey!
Can you ask them to leave? - Please wait outside.
Please.
Now he doesn't need our help. Come on.
Now you can start the treatment.
Oh, God!
I have pain in my chest too.
Doctor. - It's me, Ambili.
You mean the moon!
I can see the stars twinkling in the vast envelope of night sky.
What are you saying? This is Appukuttan's Clinic.
I'm the one for whom you'd spent Rs. 2,80,110..
Wrong. It's Rs. 2,80,112.
You're conscious, aren't you? - Still it's serious.
I should be here for at least a month, right?
It's a minor injury. You can leave in ten minutes.
Huh!
"I will take good care of you.."
Appukuttan, you thrashed my men.
I know that you didn't get hurt.
When it comes to mischief, I'm better than you. Idiot!
Kozhikkaden. I always choose the right path.
Why the hell did you come to my hospital taking the wrong one?
You moron, I have been doing this before you were born.
You are trying to pick a fight..
I will teach you a lesson.
Then you will witness me in all my glory, you scoundrel.
I will..
Appukuttan, take care of yourself. Keep me updated.
I'll always be there with you. - I know.
See you then. - Okay.
Ramankutty! How is today's collection? - It's good.
I have to show the accounts to Appukuttan.
Why the hell! This is my daughter's hard work.
Give it to me. Leave!
This is my money. Get lost!
Shall we go? - Yes.
Why is he always here? I don't like it.
What was your discussion with Achuthan Nambyar?
Nothing. Just small talk. We're good friends.
I heard your discussion.
Is it hurting now? - No.
Oh, no! It's hurting badly.
I should be here for at least a week, right?
I'll decide that. You're perfectly all right.
Why do you get involved in such fights?
I never do that. But they won't leave me alone.
You should stop all this.
It's high time for you to start a family life.
Isn't that right?
Yes. I won't postpone it further.
That is my opinion.
People will focus on bad traits no matter how good you are.
A girl will value a man's morals more than his riches.
That is taking a toll on your life.
Shall I give you a suggestion? - Yes.
Then promise me. - Okay.
Don't get into drunken brawls anymore.
Will you? - No.
Will you promise me? - I promise.
"Did you understand my silence?"
"Did the moon shine in the sky?" - Good.
"Did you open the windows to my desires?"
"Did the nightingale wake up?"
Good!
"Like how colours bloom"
"you came to me." - Oh!
"Did you understand my silence?"
"Did the moon shine in the sky?"
"When I wanted to see you"
"your face appears right in front of my eyes."
Indeed!
"Times in these flowery paths"
"are to be cherished for eternity."
I see!
"In my life, without a destination"
"flies a bird with sweetest of chirps."
"You alone shall protect your other half."
That's Appukuttan's heart!
"Did you understand my silence?"
I'll leave.
"Did you understand my silence?"
"Did the moon shine in the sky?"
"Did you open the windows to my desires?"
"Did the nightingale wake up?"
"Did the dusk finally arrive?"
"Did it merge with you to be more elegant?"
Yes.
"Did the celestial beings"
"come to listen to your song?"
Excellent!
"The rhythm of the ocean and the desire to live"
"are always heard by the shores."
"You're mine forever."
Awesome!
What is this?
What is he doing? - He's crazy.
Oh, no!
"Did you understand my silence?"
"Did the moon shine in the sky?"
"Did you open the windows to my desires?"
"Did the nightingale wake up?"
"Like how colours bloom"
"you came to me."
Do you know what the time is? It's 10 p.m.
And you're still here?
How will I go? I had a lot of patients in the evening.
Two of them are admitted.
My work got over just now.
I must go home. You'll have to drop me.
Why not? I shall. Come.
I want tell you something.
Tell me quickly.
I thought you'd realise that.
I did.
Then again, I want you to say it.
Why should I say that? You see it every day, don't you?
The number of patients are increasing.
I can't manage it alone.
We need another doctor immediately.
Okay. We'll employ another lady doctor.
You can decide who it should be.
We don't need another lady doctor.
I'm there, am I not? We need a male doctor.
My classmate Dr. Namboothiri will do.
He's good but unemployed.
We shall call him.
This must be the guy from my dream.
Shall I call him? - But.. - Why are you so late, dear?
A patient had to be attended to.
Appukuttan helped me.
I'll go then. I left quite early today.
Did you get home just now?
I had work. - Don't travel with him at night.
After all, it is Appukuttan.
You don't know him. He's a bachelor.
What if he asks for your hand in return for the money?
I know Appukuttan. He won't say that.
He won't even think of it. - Are you in love with him?
No one falls in love with God.
They worship him.
God, my foot!
Why are you sure that he is the guy you dreamed about?
I'm going crazy.
Drink some.
You'll feel better.
Vakkachan, pour it. - No.
I gave her my word. I won't drink.
Not just me. None of us will drink.
In your dreams! We promised no one.
We will drink. - How will stressing over it help?
Cut to the chase. Ask her if she's willing.
If I'm right, she won't agree.
She's cunning.
She needs Appukuttan's help and wants to marry Dr. Namboothiri.
Appukuttan! - You!
If you ditch me, I won't spare you!
Appukuttan, what is it? - Leave me!
I don't simply wish for things.
And if I don't get what I want, I'll destroy everything.
Why are you getting mad at me? Show it to her!
No! He will make a scene at the hospital!
Appukuttan, let that doctor come.
We'll find out the truth.
Be patient.
'Thamarakulam Bus Stand.'
Get down..
Where is Appukuttan's Clinic?
Go straight. You will find it on your right.
Who are you?
I am the new doctor.
Four, five, six.. - Dig deeper.
He's here, Appukuttan. - Who?
The lover from the dreams. The doctor.
What?
Hi! - Hi!
Was it difficult for you to find this place?
No. - You've become smart.
You've become a little chubby.
Good Lord! I can't bear this.
It's him! - Fear not, Appukuttan.
It's bad if they see you like this.
What are you doing there? Come, Appukuttan.
Doctor, this is Appukuttan.
My sponsor, owner of this hospital.
He's loved and liked by everybody.
Did you get it? - No. - You must not know of their love.
They are so secretive that they don't want
anyone to know.
Appukuttan will introduce the others.
He needs a place to stay.
He is a hygiene freak.
Take care of him.
I shall. - She values him.
I've heard a lot about you from Ambili.
I also heard about what you guys did
at the college.
We're glad that you're here, Doctor.
Grandmother, please save me. - Why?
I was raised by my grandmother!
Leave him or you'll break his arm.
Don't you want to get acquainted with the rest of us? - No.
I had enough. We have plenty of time.
Place that chair over there. - Okay.
Nurse, move that screen here. - Okay.
Please have a seat, Doctor. - Okay.
Did you get acquainted with everyone? - Yes.
How is Appukuttan? - He is physically strong.
Not just that. He is good at heart.
He is generous and kind hearted.
I just got a taste of his generosity.
It's obvious from what Ambili said.
This has to be him. - Ramankutty.
If we don't do something about it, you'll lose Ambili. - Yes?
Arrange the house in Vadakkeparambu for his stay. - Okay.
Meet me at noon. I need you to do something for me. - Okay.
How is the house, Doctor? - It is really good.
I just need a place to take a bath and get some sleep.
This is more than enough.
It is a wonderful house with all the amenities.
It has adequate ventilation. Its premises are really beautiful.
Come in. - Yes.
Won't this room be enough for you, Doctor? - Sure. - Okay.
By the way, a family had rented this house before.
A girl of that family hung herself to death in this very room.
She hung herself on that fan. Her eyes popped out
and tongue stuck out. Just like this.
I still remember it.
Oh! Who is it?
Who is it?
Doctor! - Oh, God!
I have brought your supper.
Why did you scream?
Did I scare you? - N-No.
You perform surgeries on the human body
and deal with organs like the heart and lungs, don't you?
You shouldn't get scared so easily.
Here is your dinner. - Okay.
What day is today? - Today is Friday. - Oh, God!
Will it happen on the first day of your stay?
What are you talking about? - That.. - Tell me what it is.
On Fridays, the attack of ghosts becomes unbearable.
Oh, Goddess! Please save him!
Aren't you a Brahmin?
Have your dinner, chant mantras and go to bed. - Okay.
That's fried bitter gourd! I just love it! - Huh!
What happened? Did I scare you?
The Brahmin boy I loved liked fried bitter gourd.
Bitter gourd, my foot! Who are you? - I'm Jagathamma.
The girl who hung herself to death here.
Another one is here. Who are you?
I'm Alamelu. Don't you know me?
I drowned in the river three days ago.
Don't you know me?
It's me, Ponnamma, who died from a gas explosion.
I'm Laila Beevi. My husband strangled me to death.
What is a Muslim ghost doing amongst us, Hindu ghosts?
Shut up!
Let me make something clear.
People are already fighting each other in the name of religion.
At least, we ghosts should show some unity.
Yes, only then can we divide this Brahmin man among ourselves.
Lord Ganesh!
I shall strangle him to death. - No. I shall kill him differently.
Do as you please but leave some blood for me as well.
I shall kill him.
I will kill him! - No, I will! - It's got to be me! - No, I will!
Who is it?
Answer me.
Who is it?
Answer me..
The temperature will subside. Repeat another course.
Oh, no! What happened to your forehead, Doctor?
I got kicked. - What?
I-I mean, I slipped on the bathroom floor.
Nothing serious. Just a minor injury.
It's funny that this happened on your first day at the new house.
Take one tablespoon, thrice a day.
Hello! - Hi! - Greetings! - Greetings!
What happened to your forehead? - I hit my head on the door frame.
Since it's an old house
the door frames are a bit short, just like you.
Apart from the door frames, isn't everything else good? - Yes.
Didn't you get a good night's sleep? - Yes, it was a sound sleep.
What? Did you hear sounds?
No, I meant it was peaceful. I didn't have even a single dream.
That's really surprising!
Appukuttan.. - Just a minute.
I shall make the arrangements to change the door frame.
Your forehead is really broad, isn't it? It's considered lucky.
I'll be back now. - Okay.
Oh, God!
Doctor Namboothiri is such a nice guy.
He is so ingenuous.
I really liked him.
He is a really good doctor, isn't he?
I guess time will tell.
By the way, shouldn't we decide his remuneration?
You may decide it, Ambili.
He is poor.
Shouldn't we offer him at least Rs. 3,000? - That's not enough.
Since he is a noble-soul, we should offer him Rs. 5,000.
As you wish. Tell him about it. - Sure.
Doctor! - If you want to talk, keep a distance from me.
Stop kidding!
We decided your remuneration. Rs. 5,000 per month.
Is that enough? - Yes..
Also, I'll make sure that you get additional benefits.
I like you so much!
What happened, Doctor?
I now know what a bear hug is.
It's in my nature. If I really like someone
I express it in different ways. - Okay.
Ramankutty.
He is a demon!
It's really easy to beat him to pulp, but I can't do it
since Ambili will come to know of it.
I reckon he is a secretive guy.
He didn't tell Ambili about what happened last night.
He isn't someone whom we can scare off.
He said he is wearing something
that'd protect him from ghosts. - We'll see.
Let's try a stealth attack. - Okay.
Force him out of the house first. Then we will thrash him.
Come on, let's throw stones.
Come on.
Oh, God!
Oh, no!
Oh, God!
Who are you people?
We are the demons of Goddess Kali! Leave this house immediately! - Oh!
Oh, God!
What happened, Doctor?
What happened to your face? - I had enough.
Even if I end up on the streets, I don't want to work here.
What are you saying? I don't understand.
Even I don't know what's happening.
Somebody did this on purpose to make me leave this place.
If that's not the case, how come demons wear Rado watches?
Watch? - Yes.
This slipped from the hand of one of the demons.
This is Appukuttan's watch. - Is it?
Then it has to be Appukuttan and his gang.
No, Appukuttan won't do it.
He won't hesitate to do even worse. I will tell you something.
On the day I arrived here, I shook hands with Appukuttan.
It sent a shiver through my spine.
Then he hugged me once. It nearly killed me.
He used to thrash me often pretending that he likes me.
You always praise his generosity, don't you?
I've had enough of his generosity.
He hates me. Why can't he say that to my face?
Why should he torment me physically?
This is the first time that I've had to endure deception.
I'm glad that I'm still alive. Thank God.
Doctor.. - You need not say anything.
Thank God, I can visit my grandmother.
I'm leaving. Goodbye.
"Lord Krishna.."
Greetings! - Greetings!
Is everyone fine? - Yes.
Aren't you all taking prescribed medicines? - Yes.
Ma'am, how's your nausea? - It has subsided.
Be careful. There is some kind of epidemic.
Haven't you started for the day?
Patients are waiting outside.
Hasn't Doctor Namboothiri come yet? He doesn't get late usually.
What happened?
It feels like I want to see him all the time.
I've become so close to him.
Is he on leave today, Ambili?
What happened to my friend, Ambili?
He resigned from the job.
What? Was it because the salary wasn't good enough?
He could've asked for more. He was such a nice guy.
Such a shame that he didn't tell me that he was leaving.
Appukuttan, come with me.
Do you know whose watch this is?
It's mine. How come it's with you?
It was with Doctor Namboothiri. - What?
There are no chances of that happening.
Last night, I went to the fields, turned on the motor..
Where did I go after that? - Not anymore, Appukuttan.
Why did you thrash him?
Why would I? What are you saying, Ambili?
Stop it. Your theatrics aren't good enough.
I know that you drove him away. - Why are you upset about it?
It was me who asked him to come here.
He'd have been an asset to this hospital.
Moreover, he is a very good friend of mine.
But I couldn't stand your so called friend.
That's why I drove him away.
You should've done it the right way as a good manager would.
It's not fair to thrash an innocent man.
Aren't you ashamed of yourself? - No.
I can't stand another man rubbing shoulders with you.
As a doctor, I might have to associate with my colleagues.
I won't let you do that! I'm uneducated and uncivilised.
But I have the ability to understand people.
I felt that his intentions weren't right.
Just because you felt so, it isn't necessary that it's right.
Do you value him more than me? - That isn't the question here.
For a hospital, a doctor is more important.
Don't you know who built this hospital?
Don't you know how you became a doctor?
I spent Rs. 2 lakhs.. - Stop.
Don't downgrade yourself by mentioning it all the time.
I agree, it's all yours.
But what wrong did he do to be beaten black and blue?
You can't stand it, can you? Is it because you love him?
Maybe I do, but it's my personal matter.
Consider that I love him.
Say it once more if you have the guts to.
I swear, I'll rip your tongue!
Are you insane, Appukuttan? - Yes, consider me insane.
You don't know my feelings.
Five years.. I've been in love with you for five long years!
I was glad to help you
and I've taken pride in your success.
I waited for the completion of your course.
I dreamt of a life with you.
I fantasised about it.
Your words and behaviour made me fantasise.
My mind longed for a life partner. My dreams knew no bounds.
All I want to ask you is when we can get married.
I should've killed you the moment you told me about your love.
But..
I need you, because I can't think of a life without you!
I don't care if I've to wait for another 50 years.
But I swear, it's going to be me who'll marry you.
I won't let you spent your life with another man!
Why are you late, dear? Everyone is waiting for you.
What is it, Mom?
It's excellent news.
Dr. Rajeevan, who lives in the USA, is here to see you.
To be honest, he is handsome. He certainly caught my eyes.
You should've asked me, Mom.
Who brought this alliance?
Your father did. Rajeevan is Achuthan Nambyar's son.
Hurry up and change, dear.
It's such a shame that we couldn't inform Appukuttan.
He'll be really happy to know about this.
I came to know of this just this morning.
We should inform Appukuttan, today itself.
No one can predict a girl's marriage.
Hurry up.
What's wrong with you?
Do you know who is here? He is not just a graduate like you.
I don't want to see him.
I don't want to get married anytime soon.
How dare you!
Don't insult me in front of them.
Don't provoke me! You!
She'll come. Please go inside. - Okay.
I only want what's best for you, dear.
Don't ruin the peace of our home. See him, at least for me.
I'm begging you. - Sister, come inside.
I've got the saree ready for you. - Come, dear. - Come.
I was saying that your daughter is really fortunate.
By the way, does Ambili have a passport?
No. - Ask her to apply for one soon.
Let them see each other first.
They'll like each other.
Saraswati.
This is Rajeevan.
It's not like the hospitals that we have here.
He performs 20 surgeries a day.
She'd know that. Ask her if he liked him.
Is that even a question, Nambyar!
I struggled a lot to educate her.
I liked her. Why are you silent, Rajeevan?
He had seen her photograph, right?
Maybe, he'd want to speak to her in private.
Not really.
I was brought up in the USA in a different culture.
Dad was adamant that I should marry a village girl.
Okay, I agree.
What I want to know is, if you had any love affairs
during your college life. - Certainly not.
I raised her in strict discipline.
She obeys whatever I say to her.
I'm sure that she likes you.
Let's not delay it then.
Let's meet the astrologer today and fix the date. Come on.
Appukuttan, my foot! Don't you dare speak about him!
He, who has studied only till 7th grade, wants to marry you!
I'd earlier said that it'd come down to this.
The date for your wedding with Rajeevan is on the 25th.
I've given my word. The wedding should happen, no matter what!
We'll pay his money back with its interest.
Appukuttan.. - Yes?
Look at you sleep! Haven't you heard?
What is it?
A-Ambili hasn't come to the hospital.
That's probably because she fell sick.
No. She won't come to the hospital anymore.
Why? - Her marriage has been fixed.
So, Ambili told everything to her family.
That's how it should be.
It's such a shame that I misunderstood her.
I hurt her a lot.
I feel really bad.
Why can't she come to the hospital because of that?
That's not the matter. - What is it then?
Ambili's marriage has been fixed with Nambyar's son, Rajeevan.
You may kill me, but I am telling the truth.
They've chosen the wedding date on the 25th of this month.
Is it true, Vakkachan?
Yes.
Ahammedkutty..
Mr. Madhavan.. - It is true.
It was Ravunni who decided everything.
They were cheating you.
I'll kill them!
Appukuttan.. - Appukuttan.. - Stop.. - Listen to us.. Stop!
Appukuttan.. - Appukuttan.. - Stop!
Appukuttan, stop! - Appukuttan. - No!
Appukuttan! - Stop!
Listen to me. - Appukuttan!
Stop! - Please stop! - Stop! - Appukuttan!
Stop! - Appukuttan! - Appukuttan! - Listen to me!
Appukuttan! - Please don't! - Stop!
Ravunni! Come out, ungrateful pig!
I won't let anyone else marry your daughter as long as I'm alive!
Come out if you are man enough.
What is this? Don't create trouble.
No, I won't allow this to happen.
Let her say that.
Doctor, do you consider me a fool?
I'd spent Rs. 2,80,112 for your studies.
If you try to cheat me, I will finish you off.
Appukuttan!
Ravunni, you scumbag, come outside.
You! - You're here!
I was right again.
You are so predictable.
I'll decide who is going to marry my daughter.
And she will obey me. - You!
This farce won't help you get married.
You won't get a girl here. - You!
You had nothing.
It was his money that got you this life.
Stop it! You've been taking advantage of that for a long time.
My daughter became a doctor because of her hard work.
Here, take your money.
Count it. Even the interest is included.
If you want more, just let me know. I've plenty.
You're an ass who would sell his family for money.
I was born with a silver spoon.
I have never taken someone's money forcibly.
Let the people who took the money deny it.
Call them!
Call her. I've to talk to her.
She doesn't want to meet you.
Stop it! Let them talk it out.
If you're hurt, marry your daughter off to him.
Hey, Ravunni!
You won't. No one in this village would do it.
No one would want their son-in-law to be a thug. - You!
You might be a star in Thamarakulam.
You have only fought the local goons.
Have you fought with Tamil goons?
I've brought one for you.
Come here, Boothapandi.
Oh, God!
He is looking for a fight.
Give him whatever he deserves.
Maniyan. Give me my soda.
Leave him! - Let go! - Let go!
Ambili. No one can stop Appukuttan.
It's bound to end in murder.
Appukuttan will listen to you. Go, Ambili. Ambili!
Get away from him! - Leave him!
Appukuttan!
What are you fighting for?
Whom do you want to defeat?
Is it to marry me? Shame on you!
Do you know how I consider you?
You're my first priority.
Why do you seek revenge against me?
I too have a heart. You didn't consider it.
Did you ever tell me that you loved me?
Did you ask me even once?
Do you expect me to obey you when you decided
everything on your own?
This is arrogance!
You think money and brawn can get you anything.
But it can't win a woman's heart.
You hurt me a lot, Appukuttan.
You ruined my dreams and hopes.
You're not the Appukuttan I know.
I am afraid of you.
I should obey you.
What should I do? Just tell me.
I will obey.
"Will the sorrow of my heart"
"make a veena play?"
"Will the sorrows of the sea"
"become clouds?"
"Why did you come into my dreams?"
"This love is like the first rain."
"These wishes add up."
"This love is like the first rain."
"These wishes add up."
"Will the sorrow of my heart"
"make a veena play?"
"Will the sorrows of the sea"
"become clouds?"
"Aren't you inside my heart?"
"Oh, moon! Will you leave me behind?"
"Aren't you inside my heart?"
"Oh, moon! Will you leave me behind?"
"I become a cry"
"in an unknown language."
"I am like a puppet"
"that got lost in the dark."
"You can have the fruits of my sorrows."
"Will the sorrow of my heart"
"make a veena play?"
"Will the sorrows of the sea"
"become clouds?"
Appukuttan.
The wick is about to burn out.
It must be about to go out.
Why are you here at this hour?
I know that anyone at anytime
can come to this house for help.
I too am in need of help.
I have asked many things from you.
Even today, I will do that.
That too, for my daughter.
What is this, ma'am? Just because I said something..
I'd be honoured to give you
my daughter's hand in marriage.
I'm telling the truth.
I want you to marry her. That's my wish.
But it won't happen.
He won't let it happen.
Didn't you say that she fell for the groom from The USA?
No. She still has not agreed to it.
She won't agree.
She doesn't like it.
I can't stand her misery.
She will agree if you ask her to.
You're the only one she'll obey.
You must convince and bless her.
Won't you do it?
You idiot!
I guess my son is angry.
Don't be mad.
I know that you're burning inside.
You helped many without expecting anything in return.
But you were wrong this time.
What she said was right.
From childhood onwards
you desire something so bad and when you don't get it
you go crazy.
Can you win a woman's heart like that?
Why should you bother if she doesn't like you?
If not Ambili, then someone else.
You will find a girl who truly loves you.
Don't you worry.
Shall I tell you something?
Will you obey me?
Forget her.
Appukuttan!
Ambili.
I wanted to meet Ambili.
Forgive me. I know that I don't deserve it.
Still, you should forgive me.
I don't have much knowledge.
And I'm illiterate.
My judgement is not good.
Since childhood, I was always a landlord.
I'm arrogant because of that.
Ambili opened my eyes.
I didn't have someone to guide me.
I still remember my mom's dying words.
'I am giving you all the wealth.'
'Don't ruin it. Keep an account of everything.'
I have been keeping accounts ever since.
But when it came to my life, I made mistakes.
It was not right to keep my desires hidden.
And I didn't have the guts to open up.
Now I know that I was greedy.
Your future shouldn't get spoilt because of me, Ambili.
Dr. Rajeevan is the right match for you, Ambili.
That wedding should happen. You should give your consent.
I want to see both of you living happily.
Look. I remember what you told me, Ambili.
That you'll obey me.
This is not a request. It's an order.
These are the gifts I had bought for you, Ambili.
This is my life.
My heart!
You should accept it.
Consider this my wedding gift.
This is the key to Appukuttan's Clinic.
You should continue the service there.
That's for you, Ambili.
I won't interfere in anything.
Please don't change the name though.
That's my only wish.
This is all I've got to say.
You'll always have my blessings.
Shall I leave?
And there won't be anymore accounts in my life.
What did you do, man?
Why did you tell them that you'll get them married?
You fell right on her feet!
This was planned by Ravunni and Nambyar.
You are in Ambili's heart.
It has become the talk of the town. That you were cheated.
People are furious.
Why are you silent, man?
You gave her everything.
What's there to talk now?
Wow, everyone is here.
On this special occasion, no one expected me here, right?
That is Nambyar for you!
Defeats makes me love you even more.
I will love you until the ultimate defeat is your's.
You've done something really good, Appukuttan.
I came here to thank you.
You should learn something from this at least now.
Don't waste money on love, responsibility
and all other abstract nonsense. It's foolish, isn't it?
Shouldn't we consider the norms of the society?
A doctor marries another doctor.
An engineer marries another engineer.
A farmer marries another farmer.
That's all what we should expect.
Well, let bygones be bygones
Now we should make this wedding grand.
You should be at the forefront in conducting this wedding.
Shall I leave?
Shall I get you a soda? - No, let him leave.
He's a scavenger.
See how happy he is about Appukuttan's fall. - Yes.
We can't neglect this.
Just give us an order.
We'll bring Ambili here.
Come on, tell us.
The townsfolk will support you. - Yes.
We won't let her marry that guy's son.
Don't rush, Mr. Madhavan.
Why bother if that's what she wants?
Don't be preachy, Appukuttan. We know what you're going through.
Listen to us. - Don't say anything.
I had promised to get Ambili married.
So, we'll go do it together.
We won't do it together.
You'll get it done alone. Come on, let's go.
What the hell do you know?
Do you know why I invited him?
The townsfolk will be present only if he is there.
Else, we'll have to conduct it as a mere formality.
Do you really need that? - Well, this is good.
Still, I won't have a peace of mind till the wedding is over.
I feel peaceful now.
Wasn't his presence felt everywhere in Thamarakulam?
I have hit where it hurts. He has fallen.
I just witnessed that.
Oh! It was really satisfying.
Not so fast. You can't trust him.
We can't predict his behaviour.
Be confident.
He has just fallen.
Wait till the wedding on 25th is over.
I have a plan for him.
That will mark his end.
What are you doing here?
The wedding is not here. It's at Ravunni's house.
That's why we are here.
We won't attend that wedding.
I was supposed to set up the marquee.
But I boycotted it. - Not just the marquee.
We have dealt with the caterer as well.
I wanted to witness your wedding before my death.
How can someone marry the girl you wanted to marry?
We'll see that!
If you were born into my hands
I will disrupt this wedding, Appukuttan.
We've decided to go to Ravunni's house, Appukuttan.
Usually, it's the relatives who ask for bride's hand in marriage.
The whole village will be going there demanding justice.
We came to inform you before that, Appukuttan.
Please don't oppose us.
I've felt many times that I don't have any relatives.
Now I know. I have many. A whole village is there for me.
I'm satisfied. Now I am proud.
But I'm responsible to conduct that wedding as a guardian.
If you all love me, you should help me do so.
That wedding should happen without any hindrance.
No, we won't..
Do you want me to live?
I will kill myself if this wedding gets cancelled.
So, you want me alive, right?
Then obey me.
For me. You have to do this.
He bought all this because of his love for you, Sister.
Can he forget you after loving you for five years?
What's on your mind? Say something.
I did not know that the love and care he showed me
had an inner meaning.
Now Appukuttan is just..
Hurry up..
Hey. Tie those garlands.
Ramankutty. - Yes?
Tie this in the front as well.
There, right? I will.
For you, I will kidnap Ambili in this vessel.
Just give me a nod. - Chakunni. - Yes?
Tighten the tarpaulin on the northern side.
Else, the water will seep in case it rains. - Okay.
You moron.
This knife is very sharp.
Shall I stab Ravunni with this?
Speed up, Mr. Ahammedkutty. This must be done before dusk.
Isn't it for Kozhikkaden? It will take some time.
Do it, moron!
"The exotic image.." - I shall leave.
Okay. Come early.
The time is 9:30 a.m.
"..the cool breeze comes."
Oversee the cooking, Govinda Pillai.
"..the auspicious moment."
"Intoxicate me.."
Tie this over there. - Tea.
"The snow-clad mountains will entice us."
Appukuttan.
Yes? Okay.
Ambili wants to see you. She wants to say something.
Can you come?
Do I get to decide the amount of jaggery in payasam?
Aren't there chefs for that? Go, dear.
Go..
Dear..
Hey. It's time. Call the bride.
Saraswati, make it quick!
Seek blessings from your father and uncle.
Appukuttan!
Ambili! Ambili, what is this?
Get up.
What is she doing?
Dear, what is this?
Get up.
Dear. Get up..
Dear, get up. What is this?
Dear, get up!
Get up!
Hey! You! - Take him away!
Go!
Move aside! Move! What the hell?
You! I will..
Take him away! - Don't mess with me!
