Alcohol is toxic
although it's not much difficult to drink,
its after-effects are very dangerous!
Liver will be gone, family gone and then Police will catch you!
These are not our words
Words by our Reverend Father James Anakattil, amidst a Sunday Mass!
After his emotional speech about the negative impact of Alcoholism
None of us have gone so far.
True! None of us went to CHURCH till this moment!
It's not the Story about our becoming Alcoholics!
But the Story of Thoppil Joppan, whom we dearly call Thoppan!
Not just a Story, but Joppan's Love Story!
Pappichayan was the founder and guru of our Thopparkuddil Kabaddi team.
Pappichayan's dear son and Thopparkudil Star player was our dearest Joppan!
I ,Aravindan and Mathan,
were the ardent fans of Joppan and Pappichayan.
Seeing and enjoying their enthusiastic and winning performance,
we three became members in their team as well as in their lives!
When our Thoppramkudi team was coming back victorious,
after winning Ulahannan trophy, which was held in Nedumkandam that year,
Joppan saw Annie for the first time.
Daughter of New Estate Superintendent Kuriakose sir.
Like in all love stories,
Joppan fell for Annie at very first sight.
Though Joppan tried to impress his love towards Annie many times,
she didn't give him a chance!
Although Annie didn't give ear to Joppan's words,
Dinkan heard!
DINKAN - Children's magazine called Balamangalam!
Monappan, Annie's brother, who is fond of reading Dinkan,
yelled out of excitement from the tree!
DINKA, SAVE ME!
But Dinkan didn't come to rescue him.
Instead, Joppan came!
Knowing that her dearest brother was injured,
Annie, her father and mother reached the hospital at once.
They learnt from Doctor, that only because Joppan reached him to hospital on time,
his life was saved without any further complications
“Like a flower's petal, Lord,“
“I searched your feet“
“Like a flower's petal, Lord,“
“I searched your feet“
"In this path guarded by olive trees,"
“When the breeze rustled as if you are coming,"
“I came out all alone and looked in vain.“
"0 Divine song in my dream!“
“To see the churches where messengers of God sing,"
“We waited with hope, Lord"
Naturally, their love which was known to the village...
soon reached their home also.
The respectable and short-tempered Thoppil Chandichhan,
like a Villain in a drama said,
“Try to make some money first,
and then love,
Do not love with your father's money, Shameless fellow"
Such problems are commonly seen in Dramas and Cinemas,
Joppan, the son of respectable Chandichhan,
Took a decision to leave the village,
then return as a rich man! Well off!
“L will make money and come back.
You wait for me"
Saying this to Annie, Joppan walked far far away!
Our Kabbadi team without Joppan was like the India team without Sachin!
Constant failures started haunting us.
Amid those failures and downfalls,
we also grew up!
Amidst prayers and waiting for Joppan's return,
Annie also grew up.
The sudden demise of Annie's father Kuriakose sir.
Similarly Thomas sir's demise left Annie, her mother and brother Monappan with no support!
Annie and family who were left in such dire situation after father's death,
were taken away by Annie's maternal uncles.
To their hometown Mettupalayam.
In such a circumstance,
it was a great shock to see our dearest Joppan back!
Hey, Joppan! Where were you all these years?
Bombay!
What were you doing there?
Couldn't you guess from my appearance?
Smuggling!
So this box will be full of gold biscuits and precious stones!
No!
Notes! Currency Notes!
Where is my Annie?
After coming to know everything, Joppan bursted out with tears!
Immediately we moved to Mettupalayam.
Shocking news was waiting for us in Mettupalayam.
It was Annie's betrothal on the same day!
Annie, do you wish to marry Peter?
Yes! I do
Do you witness this..
He was devastated!
From that day, he gave up Annie and became intimate with alcohol!
If you are planning to leave after listening to the remaining story,
then, that will not happen.
Kindly bear with us for 21/4 hours, please.
Because it's our Joppan's love story.
It's like this only.
Can be told only this way. That's why.
"A little honey, a little milk and the juice of blue grapes“
“Mixed with sugar syrup -who is this?"
“ls the place he pervades like the bottom of a lake"
“Or a star shining alone in the daytime?“
“He's the hero of the story"
“Thoppil Joppan"
“Born in honey, wearing the earrings of sun, O beautiful lady,"
“Resident of Peerumedu, flying singer, tell his name“
“When the golden plate shining by itself in the passes"
“ls showering gold on the trees,“
“For the sugarcane grove blooming in the east"
“He's the lover longing for the sugarcane grove, blooming in the east"
"A little honey, a little milk and the juice of blue grapes“
“Mixed with sugar syrup- who is this?"
“ls the place he pervades like the bottom of a lake"
“Or a star shining alone in the daytime?“
“He's the hero of the story"
“Thoppil Joppan"
O God! Please make it ok this time at least.
You stay like this. I will be back now.
Don't play, finish off your homework.
Come Paulachhan! You've come with any new proposals for my brothel'?
Just a try!
You watch! I will die only after Joppan ties the knot!
Then, you are never going to die, Uncle!
Please study, child! Study, grow big and come.
For you too, it's me who'll get a bride!
Where is mother'?
Here I'm! What is the matter?
I got a couple of proposals for Joppan.
Not like earlier! Excellent matches!
On seeing brides' photos, not only Thoppan
His father will also fall for them!
Just a cliche!
Please sit down, mother.
Have a look at this photo.
Susana, come here.
Even Cinema heroines will take a back seat!
One and only daughter! Well known family in Kunnamkulam!
She is an ADVOCATE
If not, have a look at this girl.
They are more prestigious family than the previous one
Palakunnel family from Edathua
How does it happen
If he is shown any girl's photo,
Joppan grumbles she is not as tall as Annie,
or doesn't have hair as long as Annie and keeps rejecting!
Please look at this.
No point showing me all this.
Joppan must agree, right?
Show Joppan first. Then, we'll decide the rest.
Where is Joppan then?
Gone to play Kabaddi!
Today is the finals!
Oh yes! finals at Nedukandam!!
O God! If I start now, I can reach there on time.
I shall meet you later, bye.
Each grain of sands in Negunkandom is excited with Joy,
for the fourth Ulahannan Trophy Kabadi final, which will begin shortly.
Energy water!
Make them lay eggs!
Boss, leave that to us.
Henceforth he will not be able to poo without anybody's help.
We are going to lock him like that.
How are my new players?
They are real bulls.
This time, Joppan's spine will break into pieces!
Have to break!
Here our dearest S.l leads Warriors Vakathaanam team to the court.
Praise the Lord, Father!
Hasn't Thoppan and team arrived yet?
Joppan and team will reach only after visiting all Beverages.
Please sit here, Father. Move and sit guys.
Thopparkudil Team players should assemble in the Court as soon as possible!
I wonder where he has gone
Perhaps fled away sensing defeat!
Who is this fellow?
Money lender Avarachhan! Snobbish fellow!
1st call for Cheers Thopparankudi!
2nd call for Cheers Thopparankudi!
Cheers!
Last and final call for Cheers Thopparankudi!!
Now Thoppil Joppan and his players are heading towards the Court!
Welcome! Welcome!
Praise the Lord, Father.
Players, please run up.
Ugh!
What is this!
This is Thoppan's usual prank in Kabbadi!
Showing back to Opposite team!
Haven't you heard of back-luck? For them, back brings luck!
I brought these boys from Kochi especially for you!
How are they?
Why so? Were there no brave players in your hometown?
Wherever they may come from
we only need Thopparankudi guys.
Sir, May-
Here now, for Vagathanam Warriors Iqbal entered in the first round
Very strong move!
Catch him!
Don't catch him! He has dabbed oil!
Don't catch him! You may slip.
Warriors team scored 2 Points!
For Thopparankudi Cheers, one of their players has stepped in!
Catch him.
Warrior team leads by one more point.
Next comes Captain S.l George Sir!
Two more points
Ready! Start!
Now Match resumed after the time break
Thoparankudil team captain, the only leader, the only hero Thoppil Joppan
High Range Lion enters the S.l George's den
George and his team is trying to overpower Joppan
S.l George caught Joppan but he is not willing to surrender
Get up!
Go and catch him!
Joppan tries to cross the line!
Don't let him
Sir, Kabadi - a game of honesty!
That's why we didn't go for tit-for-tat!
Don't think we don't know to pull your legs
However, we shall meet again for the match in Arivuthara Church festival!
See you!
Move!
When they told our father not to give dowry for marriage,
We never expected there would be such a deceit.
Still you and your family don't lack in anything right?
Joppan's Company promptly pay us for
our daily expenses and children's education every month.
Still don't we need to see our husbands!
After all, we are also women, aren't we?
Don't we also have dreams and wishes of our own?
Why you are telling this to Father?
He can simply hear all this, am I right Father?
Get away.
Comes back home at late night on all fours losing senses!
And vanishes away in the morning, on seeing Joppan's Jeep!
Then, how these children..
Men will somehow find time for all those things.
As Joppan is a bachelor, it's not a problem for him.
But our husbands condition is not like that!
Somehow convince Joppan and get him married.
We are totally helpless, Father.
This has become a need of this diocese now.
Movie playing, only for the theater owner
Please leave me, dad! I want to go along with Raj
Please dad“
Leave her, man!
Watching this cinema 155th time.
You know that he'll leave her. Then why do you shout?
But still, I lose my control at this point!
They are villains, right?
Their behavior may change anytime!
Mine too!
What is wrong with this Joppan?
Doesn't he get bored watching the same Cinema repeatedly?!
Even in Mumbai, this movie's craze has gone.
It's his theater and Projector!
Let him do whatever he likes! What bothers you?
I just told!
Joppan loves love stories!
Especially Dilwale!
Go Simran! Go..
Oh Lord, hope current doesn't go now!
Or else he will make us watch it again from the beginning.
Sis, please board the train!
Thank heavens!
Now only heaved a sigh of relief!
Hello! Yes! tell me.
S.l booked Pappachhayan for drunk and drive case!
Is that all?
Give phone to Babu sir!
He got transferred last week.
A new officer now!
He is a troublesome man!
- Better come here. - Ok, I'm coming!
Okay, stop it! Come with me if you wish.
- Where is Pappachhayan? - Lock up!
What nonsense?
Normally for a drunk-and-drive case,
one would be taken to hospital to check the blood and pay the fine!
But this is strange! Looks like some revenge!
Did he harm him?
Hmm!
Come, Lawyer.
Welcome Thoppil Joppa!
Oh you! Don't you recognize him?
He is Mr. George sir, Captain of Vakataanam Kabbadi team!
A great player!
Sir, started your game the moment you came?
Stop it!
Stopped!
This is not a Kabbadi ground. Police Station!!
Yes, I know.
While playing, we don't care about the position of our opponents!
Just an opponent team! That's the Sportsman spirit!
After the match, it's all over...must get over!
In the presence of so many Policemen
to take away my friend from here in a slow motion,
I'm not Rajnikanth! I'm only a local person!
That's why I came with the Lawyer.
Give it to him.
Everthing is there.
Take him. You can take him now.
Did he torture you?
2 gulps and I'll be ok!
This is just intimation about my arrival
The real game is yet to begin, right?
You could've settled the scores with me, right?
Any need of torturing this poor man?
You come here
Hereafter don't fill liquor and drive
- Fill petrol and drive! - Hmm!
Whatever it is, for all that you did to this poor man...
you'll get it from God...
No...l won't say like that!
But from this Joppan! Come bro!
Only Joppan will punish!
What you got isn't enough, is it?
What's the matter, Father!
Did you see Joppan?
What?
- Saw Joppan? - No, Father.
Father, I know where Joppan is.
I too came looking for Joppan only.
Move..l will show you.
“In the ninth standard, I got totally nine marks out of fifty"
“For that nine marks, I got fifty out of fifty at home"
"In the ninth standard, I got totally nine marks out of fifty"
“For that nine marks, I got fifty out of fifty at home"
“Which kutty (child) got the marks at home"
“Thopparankudi Thoppilankudi Joppan Kutty"
Here he is, Father!
Come on run
See, they're running away!
Hey!
They again ran away.
Stop there I say.
Don't run. Stay there.
Impertinent fellows!
What's all this?
Brewing arrack, Father!
Added, Cashew fruit..
Coconut flower, Nannari, Jaggery, Apple, Banana, Pomegranate
Don't tell too much! He may ask for a gulp!
- I'll bash you.. - No, I stopped!
What brings you here, Father'?
Only because I came this way, I got this great opportunity to see all this!
When Father said he doesn't know the way, it's me who showed him!
So, you misled Father!
What's the matter, Father?
As you know, your mother is getting older.
I understand!
Mother keeps harping on this since a long time.
It's about my marriage, isn't it?
We support you and his mother in this matter.
Life will prosper only if a girl enters your life.
A Woman is the light of the Family says Bible!
Then, why did you stay in the darkness, Father?
That's because my parents vowed to make me a Priest!
But what you are doing now is real stupidity!
You are ruining your life for a past love!
It is not like you, mother and everyone say,
I say no to marriage not because I still think of Annie.
Initially it pained to take her off from my heart!
To forget sorrows, I began drinking.
The sorrows left but drink remained!
And I became older!
Who will marry me at this age, Father?
This will network.
What big age! You still look handsome!
Don't speak the truth in public! - Evil eyes!!
Whatever it may be! If you give your consent,
Paulose has a good proposal for you.
The family is well known to me.
Settled in Kottayam.
A girl who was baptized by me!
Please go and see the bride.
Her father was an army Captain.
Really! Looks like an apt match!
Girl's father was an Army Captain!
Will get liquor from his quota!
I can't give my consent at once!
I need some more time to think.
Okay, think well and decide.
Very good girl, Thoppa.
From Kottayam, Kanjikuzhy!
- Kanji - Kuzhy!
Can't we go to Kottayam via Mundakayam?
Is it not foolish to go via Mundakayam?
We shall go via Moolamattom!
Whichever way it is, we can't go without a jeep, right?
That's correct!
True! Here comes the Jeep!
Ready?
Let's move!
Shouldn't Thoppan come?
Thoppan must come! Come.
Oh! Have you all come?
It's been a long time since he locked himself inside.
Before his mind changes, show him the bride.
Come!
My goodness! Who is this?
Kottayam Kunjachan?!
As we are heading to Kottayam, let me maintain this Kunjachan Style!
Is it ok, mother'?
Yes! This is okay for me!
What about you, Sushama?
No! I doubt it is quite old-fashioned!
Didn't they say that the bride was born and brought up in Germany?
Oh Sushamma! This is the real Kottayam Achayan attire!
Whether she is a German girl or a Kottayam girl,
it is the same!
Am I right, ThopPa?
Exactly!
Though grown up like a buffalo, she has no brains!
Before your dress crumples, let's move.
Taking Mundakayam Pala route to Kottayam?
Vagamon Pala route is better I guess.
O God! I will take you there somehow!
See you, mother.
Please fix this, at least!
I will try, mother!
SQ“!
Going for a good cause! For God sake, don't drink!
I will not drink for God's sake, mother!
Would you reach us on time?
Don't crumple your dress.
O Mother Mary!
This Kota (Palace) was built by selling Quota (liquor)!
Don't crumple your dress, careful!
Thoppa! For God's sake, don't mess up. I'm tired!
Stay quiet like school going children! I will take care of the rest.
He is right! if this too doesn't work out, then mother will not let us in.
Even if it works out, she won't let you in!
Welcome...Welcome.
Why is this Security person in such a uniform?
He is not a Security guard, girl's father!
He's a man who was defeated and crowned.
I'm Captain Kunjappan Koshy!
Joppan Thoppil Joppan!
Joppan is also a Captain.
- Captain?-Yes, our Kabaddi team's!
Very good! We army men like people who have sportsmen spirit!
We also like Spirit a lot. Only add little water!
By the by,
We shall sit inside and discuss.
Is Jose Prakash (actor), his father'?
Don't mess up everything!
,A6 Love for the Nation' was what made me an Army man!
Wars always thrilled me!
Patton tanks and Missiles were my playing toys!
So nothing is original?
- Can I ask a doubt? - Yes, please.
Captain, you are entitled to get a lot of liquors, right?
Yes! A lot!
Would you sell them out or ...?
Not to a single dog!!
I will drink the whole thing myself!
Heavy drinker!
- Any objection?-No
This is really a deceit!
Joppan, let's not fix this marriage!
Seems he will finish the whole thing himself!
Don't say Cheers by mistake!
It's not Whisky! Only black tea!
Why Captain sir, no milk today?
It's not because of that! I learnt Joppan also takes drinks.
Didn't want to upset his stomach"
Oh! What a perfect match!
Her mom was a Nurse in Germany.
Naturally she also become a nurse.
During the leave gap, I also used to go there.
Early one morning, when she left, leaving us all behind,
I became totally dejected.
Oh! Has the Girl's mother eloped?
No, she died, you buffalo!
Oh murder?!
Later, when she told that she doesn't like to stay in Germany without her mom,
I brought her here.
Sir, Can the groom and bride have a personal talk?
Why not?
Joppan, You drink a lot, right?
Not like that! Only whenever I find time!
And I don't know why, but by God's grace, I always find time.
I like you Joppan!
I am also like you, Joppan.
Even I gulp 2 pegs in the morning.
Or my hands will tremble on taking Syringe!
I got this habit because of the Chillness in Germany.
And actually I hate such an institution called MARRIAGE
I like live-in relationship.
For, it doesn't have such commitments like Children, husband's family.
We can easily part ways saying bye-bye whenever we feel like!
In fact I forgot to tell you something.
We already have a child.
Child?
Yes! Kurno!
Come dear! See your daddy!
From now onwards, he is our child.
Love him like your own child.
Is this dog my child?
Hmm..Yeah!
Father, seems she has a child!
That too not a human, but a puppy!
And I need to consider her child as my own child.
Only my dog will consider her dog as my child!
She drinks more than me!
And also wants me as a Living together!
No way! I baptized her.
Father, you baptized her with holy water or brandy?
Are there any more of such sort?
There are some more cases...
I don't want to say anything.
Don't you know, my father was also a heavy drinker?
Once drunk, he beats mother like anything!
But still, if father comes home late, mother gets so tensed!
Till my father is back home, she keeps waiting for him in the front yard.
Only after serving dinner to father, mother goes to sleep.
I had grown up seeing that.
I don't need any new generation relation who doesn't care about children and family.
I'm a bit old, Father!
What is the point in telling to a bachelor like you, Father?
Needlessly wasting my time! See you.
- Hey -What?
Why don't we see...some other girl..
Some other girl? Don't provoke my anger.
Father, I lost my control now.
Have you ever seen my Annie?
She is the epitome of a Woman!
I always think of her.
She was helpless and forced to marry someone!
As I was somewhere else!
She can never ever forget this Joppan!
She will never forget me!
To that extent I loved her!
I had never ever come across such a girl in my life so far
And will never see also!
See you, father!
To get rid of this pain, I need to drink again.
Hello!
Hey Hello!
Hello!
Drop me down, please.
Is he deaf?
Where are you coming?
I've been waiting for a long time.
What a heavy rain!
No signs of stopping!
Please drop me down please.
Heavy rain, isn't it?
I'm really fond of rain.
Why don't you get drenched in the rain, then?
Not that I don't wish to. It's the Church, you know?
What are you looking for?
Looking whether the Cross(Trouble) is lying there itself.
Or moved to this Umbrella!
I know it's not that!
Fearing that someone will see and complain to your wife?
I'm still a bachelor! Single!
Why so? Not found any suitable girl?
Or any love failure?
Are you seeking proposals for me in this rain?
Fit to the core I guess!
Yes! I am perfectly fit, just back from Gym!
As if liquor is offered in Gym!
If I need to step forward, shut your mouth.
Shut your mouth! You Chatterbox!
Hey!
Are you a Caretaker of this Church?
No Sexton!
I am only up to here!
Then, me?
You can go however you like.
Leaving me alone in the rain! You devil!
Who asked you to get in?
Please bro! Drop me till the Auto stand.
Don't waste time. Move, bro!
What is your name, bro?
Why do you want to know?
To seek proposals for you. Dam n it!
I just asked to know each other
Joppan Thoppil Joppan
Oh! I'm Maria.
I never asked.
Still know it!
I came here for a medical camp.
Today is the death anniversary of my grandma.
So I came to Church.
- Entire thing is in the bottle, is it? - Yes sir.
Hello, who is that?
Satheesh, It's me, Joppan!
Yes JOppan!
How many gulps did S.l sir take today?
3-4 large!
Besides he also lost Rs.4000 playing Rummy cards,
and parceled the remaining bottle.
- Why Joppan? - Nothing..You hang the phone.
Get down! You will get an auto from there.
You are also going that way, right? I will get down there.
I will go anyway. You get out.
How will I go in this heavy rain?
Get out you buffalo!
Oh my God! Rain!
Keep this umbrella!
Hey, you!
What?
Get into the jeep.
No way ! Tomorrow (1st) is a dry day.
Standing for 2 hrs in queue, I reached only here!
For an emergency, come quickly.
What emergency? More than this?
Will tell you, come!
One minute.I'll come now.
Rain ! Rain ! Umbrella When it rains, it is Popy Umbrella !!
While moving forward, move this child also forward.
Child, listen to what uncle says. Popy dear!
What is the matter?
Didn't I say, I will tell you later?
Tell me what the matter is!
Sit! Have you drunk?
No! For that only I stood in queue!
Any chance of rain again?
Ma}! be!
But thunder is likely to strike!
I meant lightening!
Oh God, Looks like Joppan is targeting S.I!
Greetings George sir.
What news!
Where are you heading munching betel?
Any flirting idea??
What is your intention?
Nothing in particular! When you intimate about your arrival,
Shouldn't we also intimate that we are here?
Definitely!
That's it!
So you are here to play! Aren't you?
Game is already over that day, isn’t it?
I came here for a serious matter!
You know him, right?
This fellow...Roll down your dhoti!
He has a doubt...
that you drink and drive?
I said, you never neglect the law
So there are no chances for drink and drive!
Shouldn't this donkey understand?
Sir, you do one thing. Take that breathalyser, blow him and show.
Now watch!
How dare you ask a policeman to blow?
Sir, I only asked you to blow and not to hit.
Bro, stop stop
I must surely show this to him
Got a new case!
How do I show this to him?
Not like kanjikuzhy! New good proposal!
- Get away! - Moolamattom girl! O God!
- Do you like? - Hmm!
Shall I fix it?
About what?
Proposal with Thoppan?
Don't disturb me. Let me watch the shoot!
Never make me to stand anywhere
- Go and get the breathalyzer. - Yes, coming.
Let sir blow it!
Bring it fast! He may come out of a hangover
because of thrashings!
Take it.
Sir, blow this.
Please blow this.
O my God! Machine would've blasted by his gasp!
He gulped a high quality stuff
All of you've seen, right?
Take a photo!
Just ask me when I took. With Photoshop!
Don't put this on Facebook and humiliate him. I'll box your ears!
- Show it only to Pappachayan! - Hmm!
Go and keep this.
Sir, Machine doesn't lie!
Whether its Police or Pappachayan, if drunk, light will blink!
- What is happening here? - Checking whether machine is working or not?
I can understand.
Go home..Go.
Give back my umbrella, you lass!
My mother wants it while going to church!
Take the Jeep.
I will fix this.
His Umbrella"
My dear! After battering the Policeman into a pulp...
he gaits chest out rolling up his dhoti!
Not just a mass..death mass!
He is the real hero!
Still I'm wondering about whom you are referring to!
He is not an item falling into your trap!
His name is Joppan. Thoppil Joppan!
Oh was it Thoppan!
- Thoppan? - Hmm!
Do you know him?
Of course! Everybody calls him Thoppan!
A love failure case!
...from what I have heard.
He was in deep love with a girl Annie.
Annie was very good looking.
Finally, when his parents dissented,
Joppan left the village in order to marry Annie!
When he returned after making enough money
Annie was married off to someone else!
Since then, Thoppan lives a bachelor life addicted to alcohol like Devadas!
So he is a disappointed lover!
Continue the remaining story.
I was shocked, when I saw her for the first time!
Same voice and sound as Annie's!
Could she be Annie's daughter'?
Shut up! Annie's daughter?!!
Or Annie's sister'?
Child from her father's extra-marital affair!
I mean child from a sweeper!
Only such things always come up in his mind.
Nothing like that. Can guess from her appearance that she is from an elite family?
She came here for a medical camp.
Her name is Maria.
So you got her full details. What is the matter Joppan?
She herself told me all this. I didn't ask her.
She hardly shuts her mouth for a minute. Big Chatterbox!
I guess Joppan likes that chatterbox.
Shut up! Kunjimol!
Had I married at the right age, I would have had a daughter of her age!
Age and time are no barriers for Love!
Can fall in love with anyone anytime!
True!
Or would she correctly fall in your sight?
This is an indication!
Shut up! Talking of indication!
Load has to be delivered in the evening. Hurry up!
Sack will not climb onto your head!
Lift !
Does OMEN really exists?
Do you believe in OMEN?
Certainly! Sudhakaran's daughter"
You know her as well..
A black mole on her cheek..that beautiful girl!
A black cat crossed her way!
When she drove her scooter and came out..
A tipper darted at full speed and rammed into her body.
This is called OMEN!
I'll keep this and come.
Mathan, come let's go.
- Where are they?- Gone to spray poison!
- What? - Yes! To Elaichi grove!
Toddy shop, Bar or Club! Or Arrack?
Should we begin in the morning itself?
Won't it be enough if they also join?
Strange! Why a change in your behavior'?
My stomach is upset!
Stomach or Mind?
Shut up!
Since yesterday I'm noticing a change in you.
Wait, I'm also coming.
Drop me in the Church.
Can't you go by Car? We got so much of work to do!
I know what work you have!
Susama has taken the Car to her sister-in-law's house.
I'll send an auto from city.
- Auto?! - Hmm!
You've no habit of going to Church!
At least drop the one who wishes to go!
Silly mother! if you sit at home and pray also,God will hear!
- Come! - Get lost!
I should take you for a retreat! Or else you will not reform
Only that lacks now. Hold her.
Come mother!
If you go down straight, you will find my school
- So many lovers would've waited in this path, right? - Shut up!
Stop..Stop.
- What happened, mother? - Stop!
Isn't she Wareed's daughter'?
Ma}! be!
Yes! Wareed's elder daughter Jansi!
He knows well about the girls in our surroundings
The other girl?
I don't know.
Call them!
Thoppil Mother calls you!
- You are Wareed's.. - Yes!
If you are also on the way to Church, Come!
It's okay! We'll go by walk.
Come children!
They will go by walk! Mind your business!
What mother said is right! There are signs of heavy rainfall.
- We shall go by Jeep. - Hmm!
Open the door for them.
Say if done! Or you will have a great fall!
- What are you doing now? - Pursuing MBBS!
You have a little sister, haven't' you? What is she doing?
Jincy! She has failed 12th grade!
- Right? - Hmm!
Did anyone ask you?
If known anyone can answer, isn't it?
Who is the girl beside you?
- Came here for a medical camp. She is a Doctor. - Oh!
- Oh, Doctor'? - Yes.
- What is your name, dear? - Maria!
What?
How do you know?
She just said.
Maria, right?
- Yeah.. - Yes, Maria!
Time is up for mass!
Anyhow, you've come up to the Church. Come inside.
You go, mother! I got enough work in the estate
I will join for the evening mass.
- It's an utter waste to tell you! - Then why do you say?
- Hey you! - What?
Come here.
O God! Another trouble!
- Praise the Lord! - Blessed is our God, always, now and ever!
- In fact I was waiting to meet you. - Yes, what?
They came here for organizing a medical camp.
But I'm perfectly alright.
Not that! They will organize a free check up tomorrow and the day after!
Give them your place near the river bank!
No chance! I'm going to plant tapiocas there.
Tapioca!!! Don't provoke my anger!
These fellows sit there and drink!
Do whatever you like to do, Father.
Moreover, it's for a good cause, right?
And also stay with them tomorrow and do whatever help they need!
Tomorrow?! Mother, tomorrow...!
Tomorrow I have to spray Bordeaux mixture
Labourers will take rest if I am out of sight!
Besides, I need to go to Kottayam tomorrow.
I have to collect some money for selling rubber sheets.
Okay, I will do as you say. But I'm very busy!
- What work do you have tomorrow? - Lets show some demand!
Or she may mistake we are idle!
Right! Why needlessly speak the truth!
BP is normal. But control your Sugar.
Open your eyes wide!
Do you get good sleep?
I like this medical camp. It's for a very good cause.
Money lavished for festivals and firecrackers
can be utilized for such good things!
What is the point in saying?
Shouldn't the diocese agree?
4 people for carrying a single cot?
We called 2 more people also. But they refused to come.
Doesn't matter. We shall carry it.
Ask people in this queue to move there.
Queues are empty there.
Some of you come here.
- Have you finished with him? - Yes.
Then, leave!
Please check her! Has a constant cough!
And disturbs neighbours sleep altogether! DTS effect!
Tell her your problems.
Give your hand.
Don't you need a check up?
Not necessary! I'm full fit.
I understood it from your excitement and uproar!
Can't you control it a bit?
Not much! Too little!
It's been a long time since Annie left you
Can't you abstain from it now?
If you lose one girl you will find another girl!
But, If you lose a liver, it is very difficult to get a new liver.
While going, don't people take parts of the liver and go?
So I got used to it! Carry on with your check up.
One thing is for sure. I'll somehow okay it.
Now things are almost okay. See to it that you don't mess up.
If this is the case, then doctor will sooner become a patient.
Made for each other!
Tell her your sickness!
Although doctor looks beautiful, she has good knowledge.
I just magnified it
Hey JOPPa!
Heavy downpour is about to come!
If you all don't put up a tent here,
Medicines will soak in rain!
Come all of you.
Let this tie-up happen first...
Need we call 2 more persons for putting up the tent?
What is the intention?
What an excellent dance!
Had you learnt at the right time, you could've shone now.
Is it my fault of not having a dance school in Thopparankudi!?
Don't provoke him saying unnecessary things
"Chill, Chill, Chill, you are chilly rain“
“Drizzle, drizzle, drizzle, you are thin rain“
“You are flowery shower scattered by breeze"
“You are white rain drops for the eyes"
“You are honey droplets for the ears, always“
"Chill, Chill, Chill, you are chilly rain“
“Drizzle, drizzle, drizzle, you are thin rain“
Hey you!
No..No...
No...!
Oh no! Almost drenched! Let him get drenched fully.
Why should we drench?
“You are an angel who has come from the other shore"
“You are a beauty with lots of pearls"
“You are a droplet offered kindly by the clouds in the sky"
“You are a fountain overflowing on the earth and me today“
"Aren't you a fond memory in my heart always?"
“Aren't you there always as a soothing in my heart?"
“You are the tinkling of lovely anklets“
Ouch! I can't bear it!
"Chill, Chill, Chill, you are chilly rain“
No!
Please no..
"You are a florist-girl covered with floral garlands"
“You are a song kissing the Deena of my heart“
“You are a dove nestling against me"
“You are a companion caressing me with feathers"
“You have come here with cool beauty"
“You have given me a long time of cool freshness"
“Your laughter is murmuring in my memories“
"Chill, Chill, Chill, you are chilly rain“
“Drizzle, drizzle, drizzle,you are thin rain"
“You are flowery shower scattered by breeze"
“You are white rain drops for the eyes"
“You are honey droplets for the ears, always“
Rocked!
Have you learnt dancing and singing?
Through postal, right?
Oh no! Father is also here.
Anyway you have a good future
Thank you...Thank you.
As far as I understood, one thing is for sure.
That Doctor has some soft corner towards Thoppan!
True! I too felt it seeing her gesture and smile towards Thoppan.
What Thoppan said the other day was correct!
She resembles Annie somewhere!
Let's do one thing.
We shall go to her house with mother and seek proposal.
What nonsense! Suppose she is not interested,
When we go there with mother and if she says “No", then?
Shut up, you fool! Don't know to love!
When we express love to any girl,
They will only say "Oh no I don't know anything!
Can I think and say tomorrow? What is all this?"
Even if they say so, girls always like brave guys who profess their love directly!
Got it?
Only my dog will say I love you to her.
What did you think of me?
It's not my business to say I love you to girls
Have this, Joppan!
A good, evening-teddy
Let your heart churn well!
This will not churn his heart but his stomach!
Shut up you nasty fellow!
Shall I assume that you love me?
- Oh no!-Shall I assume that you don't love me?
Why talking like this?
So you love me, is it?
- Did I say so?-So, No?
I'm leaving!
Tell me and then go.
Can I say tomorrow?
Enough!
I see! So it's the rehearsal!
What a big show you made yesterday!
“L love you“ - my dog will say, cat will say...
You mischief! And now Kunjacko!
Joppa, It's me, Maria!
It's her - Maria!
Ask what she wants?
Yes, what?
Tell me!
I would like to meet you, Joppan.
I got something to tell you.
- She would like to meet mel-Say yes!
We shall surely meet.
Can you come near my hostel this evening?
Don't bring anyone along with you. Come alone.
Okay, we'll meet before the hostel this evening. Ok..Ok.
See you. Bye.
What she told?
She cracked some good joke I suppose! Otherwise he wouldn't burst with laughter.
She wants to meet me to say something urgently.
Don't feel offended if I say something.
Asked me not to bring any low-class with me.
Wants me to come alone.
How can you be so sure that she called you to profess her love?
So don't be so arrogant!
My dear Nathan'.!
What else does this Koothattukulam Maria got to say to this Thopparankudi Joppan?
So my dear friends, get going.
I want to sleep. Then I got to plan everything.
Understood? We shall meet later.
Did he close the doors for committing suicide?
For what reason?
Why need reason? It's just a moment's thought!
Let's move!
What's it that you wanted to tell?
I will tell you all that. Let's move.
Why don't you tell it now? Why this hurry?
I got something personal to tell you, Joppan.
Go ahead, let me listen.
That is..
Tell Tell!
- That's..- Come on
I thought over for long...
Whether I say or not.
At last Jansi advised me to disclose it openly to you!
Ok, come on
If I don't tell it now, then I won't be able to tell it at all!
Tomorrow is my betrothal!
Really?
But I'm not interested in that marriage.
Someone else is present in my mind.
I love him so deeply.
Who is that lucky chap?
Thomas Kutty!
Whose Kutty(Child)?
Thomas Kutty!
He was my senior in college!
We've been in love for last 2 years!
But our families are against this.
What can I do?
As both our families didn't give their consent...
we decided to go for register marriage.
- But..-Why but?
Normally bringing a girl out of her house is the difficulty!
But here, it's just the opposite!
Thomaskutty's family has locked him up.
Please help us to somehow get him out from there.
Have you thought about it well and decided?
Almost 90% of love marriages end in failure nowadays.
Nothing more to think!
It's my word to Thomaskutty.
Please!
Where is his house?
At Kozhencherry, near the Big church
Oh ! It's too far.
Joppan, please! My sweet Joppan!
Ok, then, come.
Please drive fast
Here only.
That's his house.
Ask him to come out.
Hello! I'm in front of your house.
Are you ready? Come out quickly.
Don't be afraid. Come out.
- Yes, tell me. -What happened, Thoppa?
Something is sure to happen!
Wants me to take her to register office tomorrow.
Situation is quite bad!
I will call you back tomorrow.
Don't tell this to anyone now.
What happened?
Thoppan is going to do register marriage!
Why suddenly?
Seems situation is like that!
What?
Doppan-Yes tell me
- See, that is my Thomas Kutty!
This imbecile?
- Eh!-Nothing.
Hey Maria! Who is that guy?
He's my friend! Came to help us.
Stop your romancing! Ask him to come down quickly.
Where is mummy and your brothers?
Are they also coming?
Keep quiet Joppan!
They are sleeping!
Mamma has hidden the house keys somewhere.
I don't think I can come out.
Seems house is locked and keys are hidden somewhere.
Ask him to come to the shade and jump down.
Come to the shade and jump down from there.
Eh! What? You mean Jump?
No man! I'm scared.
Oh God! It seems he is very scared.
- Very scared?! - Yes!
Did you find only this coward to fall in love?
Stay here and watch if anybody is coming.
- I will bring him down-Okay
He is coming. Don't worry.
Hey Man! You're coming?
Oh my God! Mamma!
His parents are also like him only I suppose!
Not locked anywhere inside!
Dump 'chard-What?
Climb down to the parapet and jump down!
No...No, man. It's too deep.
Doesn't this fellow know Malayalam?
Speak in Malayalam, you rascal!
Hey, man! Don't use bad words.
Put your feet on that, come down slowly and jump from there
I will hold you.
No, I can't.
Then, I'm going.
Come down.
Jump, man!
Hey, Jump I say!
Put your feet there.
NOW 'yum ?-
I'll hold you.
I will hold you.
Jump, man!
Come on.
Mamma!
- Messed everything!- Oh God!
Can't you jump where I stretched my hands?
You cheat!
Don't tell more. Give hand.
All these are common in love and elopement!
Pains a lot.
Bath in warm saltwater!
This is called Sacrifice!
What is LOVE, without Sacrifice
Joppa, thank you.
Couldn't you love someone who is brave?
He is coming.
Thomaskutty, are you okay?
It was too scary you know?
Mud in the knee
Oh God! You poor thing.
It's okay, com e.
Mamma..I'm sorry, Mamma.
Get in quickly!
- Come -Check with his mamma!
Hey man! Are you trying to kill us?
Shut up!
Bro...will I get a lemon?
- What for?-I've vomiting sensation!
No lemons or oranges! I got Rum! Do you want?
It's good for digestion! Also to get rid of your fear!
I don't drink. I don't want.
Then assume your life is ruined.
Put him to sleep!I'll inform you when we reach!
Hello! Wake up!
Where are your friends waiting?
I know Joppa! I will tell you.
- Go straight-Okay.
- Everything fine?-Yeah, everything is fine.
- I got a severe headache! Can I get a coffee?- Oh sure!
Give him milk in feeding bottle!
Hey man! It's too much!
Get lost!
It's okay.
Did all of you have breakfast? What? Rice Cakes?
So my job is over. I'm leaving then.
I will never forget this help, Joppa. Thank you, thank you very much.
It's okay. Wish you a happy married life!
Hey Maria! Come fast, nah! Give him something and settle him.
Country fellow!
If I stand here anymore, then you will become a widow before marriage!
Joppa, Shall I ask you something?
What?
You were in love with me, right?
What silly question is this?
I know. You loved me!
From the way a man behaves with a girl,
Any girl will understand what is present in that man's mind.
But he slipped into my mind long back, Joppa! That's why.
Otherwise who will reject a brave man with a sporting moustache?
Wait and see! Definitely God will give you a better girl than me and Annie!
I'm sure.
- Maria-Yeah!
Come on.
Okay, See you!
Baby, finally we're getting married! Yeah!
You know what? They had rice cakes in the morning for breakfast.
Let's have something first.
Then do the rest.
Should we tell mother now itself?
Yes, of course! She has to know this someday, right?
Mother! Mother!
Yes, where is Joppan?
He left home yesterday morning.
That's"
May be lying down somewhere due to hangover!
Come with me, mother.
What happened?
What is the problem? What happened?
- That's..mother...-Tell me the matter.
Nothing to worry.
Then say without frightening us.
She had two heart attacks already
Don't panic, mother!
Tell her without making her panic more.
This can happen to anyone, anytime.
That's right. Something bigger would've happened!
Oh no! What happened to my child?
Will you tell us or not?
We are not hiding the truth anymore.
This morning, at auspicious time - 10 am
Thoppan got married.
That too a register marriage.
Is it for this you people were frightening me needlessly?
There's nothing wrong if a man brings home a girl he likes...
And also does a register marriage.
Thank heavens! I wanted to see him married somehow.
Meanwhile you..
Past is past! Give me the girl's details.
I will talk to her home and get it done in Church along with Mass!
Who is that girl?
You already know the girl.
While we were going to Church, didn't a girl get into our jeep?
Jansi?!
Not Jansi! Her friend, Doctor Maria.
Really? Is she the girl?
The moment I saw her, I desired to get her for my son!
When she saw the brawl in the junction, I set up everything for her.
I only did everything.
But still, if he'd told me a word, won't I have performed it?
But mother, this wasn't pre-planned at all!
It had to be done all of a sudden. That was the situation.
We could only support them as friends!
Is he there?
We'll reach shortly
Seems Thoppan is in farm house along with Chellappaettan.
Quite natural! Must be feeling uneasy to face mother!
We shall go and bring them. Wait. I shall also come.
I'll also come
It's me who has to invite my son and daughter-in-law home.
Come!
See, how he is sleeping after first night!
Where is the Girl!
May be she is taking bath.
- Hey, where is that girl? - Girl?!
No girl is here.
When I came here last night, I saw Joppan lying unconscious in the jeep after getting boozed!
I somehow managed to lay him down here!
Joppan..Wake up.
Wake up!
What happened, mother'? What is up?
You mischievous one! Where is that girl?
Which Girl?
Bring home a girl and lying down unconscious after boozing!
Shameless fellow! I'll kill you!
Which girl are you referring to?
O my Jesus! Asking which girl?
Forgot everything when you woke up!
Didn't you say, you're going to register marriage with Maria?
You Rascal! Did I tell you that I'm marrying her? Did I?
That girl was deeply in love with someone else.
She wanted my help for getting married and I did it. That's all!
Is that all?
This fellow scared the hell out of me!
But you told us, that the auspicious time is 10 am.
Normally the government office will open around 10 a.m.
And I added the rest.
Who the hell are you? Will thrash you..
Not him. I should thrash you only.
What for'? What is this, mother?
I know how to reform you.
You will have to attend the Divine retreat
Retreat?
Divine retreat, yes! You must.
Good you somehow convinced him to attend the Retreat!
Now leave the rest to us, he will reform.
There are people who have abstained from drinks after the retreat.
But in Thoppan's case, I've no confidence.
Susamma, don't cast your evil tongue!
Uncle, will you abstain from drinks if you attend the retreat?
That's what they say dear!
- No need, Thoppa! If you stop drinking, you will be a real bore! -Is that so?
Right! Always keeps torturing us to study all the time.
Shouldn't your grandma understand!
Take for instance Sibi!
He was a big alcoholic! Stays all the time in liquor shop.
Our Valamparambil Father, took hold of him so firmly, that...
He never visited the shop again.
Is it true, Father?
Certainly! In the history of those who attended the retreat of Valamparambil Father,
None has gone astray till now.
Someone can also change that history, am I right, Father?
I got something to tell you guys.
No matter if you people don't reform
But for God's sake don't spoil people there!
Oh! Hope the alcoholics there don't spoil us!
What more is there to spoil you guys?
And none of your tricks will work out with Valamparambil Father!
Even Father is a big sword
Oh Father himself is a tippler!
I didn't mean that.
Armor of God's words
Give this to Father! He will take good care of you guys!
Let us pray before they leave.
Light the wick.
O Lord Jesus, I entrust these alcoholics and sinners to your feet!
Help them completely reform through the Divine Retreat they're going to participate!
In the name of Father, son and the Holy Spirit
- Amen -Amen
Then, get going after God's commendation!
Son! Please give up the drinks with this.
“Reluctantly we are going“
“We are forsaking our happy sojourn here"
“The stay in this house is over“
“Happy times are gone forever"
“We are overturning these goblets“
“Bid farewell, those who gave us water to quench our thirst"
“Friends, we are going"
“Bid farewell, you bid farewell"
"NITYA JEEVAN RETREAT CENTRE"
Reached!
Who are you? What do you want?
We've come to reform through Divine Retreat.
Is there any chance?
Whatever it may be, this place is really nice!
Looks quite scary!
Nobody will swallow you. Carry the baggage.
What is the meaning of happiness for inner soul?
Who knows?
Armour of God's word
Oh! Is he the Tiger whom Father referred?
Unimpressive looks, right?
Hello! Looks may not be impressive, but my brain is!
Anakattil Father sent this for you.
Yeah! He called me. Please come.
He is not as we thought! A very poor fellow!
- So you are from Anakattil Father's diocese? - Yes, Father.
- Who is this Thoppil Joppan?- Me.
Addicted to severe alcohol because of love failure!
I will reform you.
Anakattil Father pointed this in the letter!
And the others have come for your company, right?
Yes, Father.
We are also believers!
Yeah! Who can never ever be trusted!
How did he come to know?
We follow certain rules and regulations here.
That should be strictly followed, understood?
Those who don't follow these rules will be sent off, right Father?
No, Never.
We will make them capable for that
I'll make it possible by intensive penance and meditation.
Do you understand what he means of intensive meditation?
No
They'll make us agree by starving us!
Oh my Jesus!
I hope Thoppil Bhasi got my point.
- Joppan!-Yes, that is it!
Rules and prayer timings are mentioned in this.
Do it according to that.
Volunteers will instruct you the rest.
Okay! It's time for the retreat!
Keep your baggages in the room and assemble in the hall.
As you say, Father.
Please wait!
This much humbleness(Vinayam) is not needed!
You'll become like Vinaya Prasad(actress)
Reduce a bit!
Come let's go.
Playing fool with us.
We reduced the humbleness by 2 inches!
Jail would have been better than this.
These are the places to sleep.
Keep your bags here and assemble in the retreat hall quickly.
Retreat has begun.
- Retreat has begun!- This is really nice
Like a train set up!
- If a little shake is also there, then it'll be correct! - Come on, shake then.
I'll occupy the upper birth
No. You got the habit of wetting your bed.
If you sleep on top, then it's risky for people sleeping beneath you.
What shall we do with this?
Don't keep it in the bag. Volunteers may find it out while checking!
Better hide it in the waist.
But it shouldn't protrude out!
No!
Thank God, accidentally I wore my underwear today.
To keep the bottle, I wore it!
- Hallelujah- Hallelujah
- Praise the Lord!-Praise the Lord!
If we had gulped 2 pegs, it would've been thrilling!
We begin the retreat here.
It's time to drive away the devil from mind and body.
Intoxication is a Devil!
Alcohol, narcotics and other tobacco products
Are the sons of Devil!
Sons of Devil!
- Who is the wife of Devil?- Idukki Gold!
Lord decided to free you all from the sons of Devil!
- Hallelujah- Hallelujah!
Lord shows me...
Sons of devil like Cigarette and Liquor in the hands of many people!
Come and throw it in this basket,
His evil offspring!
Put it here without hesitation.
Or you'll face severe negative consequences, says Jesus.
Why do you guys hesitate?
Put it here.
Stay here.
Good, everybody is there.
Please come and Put it there
Joppan, should we also put it there?
If you put it there I'll kill you, mind you.
I only have this with me for all 5 days!
Still there are two more people left
Jesus shows me those two guys hiding Devil's offspring in their waist!
Who are those two?
How did Father know that we carry the stuff?
Yeah, he is a divine person.
Is he talking about us?
Don't say anything with your evil tongue.
Lord has shown me those two culprits.
Do I need to come there and catch you
Or are you going to dump it here?
If you don't dump it, Father will come here.
Were there 5-6 two-people?
Father really tricked us!
All two-people who are there, come forward and dump here
This Father has to attend another retreat for these tipplers curse!
Look at his smile!
Please come forward without any hesitation.
What is he going to do with all this?
Will make Halwa! Enough?
That Halwa is also enough for me!
Oh, you've become so thin by drinking continuously!
No plans of stopping it.
I'd stopped! If needed, I'll stop again!
Here it is!
This looks like the beverage in Kattapana
See, too many varieties! We need to steal the bucket from there.
Go and put it there without making me sob.
Why this pen?
It's not ink in the Pen!
It's alcohol!
Oh Jesus!
Throw it quickly and get away.
After so many years, I'm having lunch without gulping down 2 pegs.
These are various tests of God!
Will it upset our stomach?
It's the 1st time we're having food at the right time.
I think I feel hungry because of not drinking.
No, it's because of greed.
Don't turn down alcohol so soon
It's Sam bar here.
Are there no Chicken, beef here?
- Is the Kalu(leg) enough? - Yes!
- Here! -This is not Kalu(Leg) it is Kolu(Stick), right?
Assume drumstick as Chicken Leg and bite and devour it nicely!
I'll break this Brother's leg before I go from here
- No need of Chicken Kolu(Stick)! - No!
Is there any way to get a drink?
You dumped everything in that basket right?
Time being, assume this herbal water as Whisky and gulp it.
Whatever!
Cheers!
I heard Cheers from here!
Father...Only sound! But the stuff is different.
Don't you know such words are restricted here.
Those are the words in Satan's dictionary!
We neither have Satan's Nigandu(Dictionary) nor Dictionary!
As we got used to this habit, when we drank this herbal water,
we said cheers for our internal bliss. Please pardon us.
- I warn you one thing. - Please.
Hearing either such sound or cheers,
The sinners here will arise! Don't wake them up!
Then!
Jesus turned plain water into Wine and not the herbal water!
Don't force me to use stringent measures in meditation!
It's mine!
Yours? Then, take it.
- Hello... - Who is that?
You are inside for nearly half an hour!
I'm taking bath.
Are you delivering a baby there?
No, my final bath, you get lost!
Did you book this? God will bless you.
Go quickly. Retreat will begin now.
Is it a marriage to attend on time?
Mathan is still sleeping
Please pardon me! I hope you remember what Father said.
Those who have patience will seek God!
Anyway, I will see HIM tomorrow.
I came first!
God will surely ask you!
This? Shut up!
Mathan..Hey buffalo! Wake up!
Are you wearing this shirt today.
Go and take bath.
Give me your soap Thoppan!

“I searched your feet“
I saw! I only saw
Saw whom?
Annie! I saw Annie!
Till yesterday it was a girl resembling Annie!
And today, you saw Annie herself.
Tell me the truth you lost your senses attending the retreat?
Even at midnight, I will be able to recognize my Annie.
My Annie?! Now she is someone else's wife.
Joppan, did she see you?
That...I'm not sure.
Come with me. I will show you.
Let's go and see! Then decide!
- Halleluiah-Halleluiah!
Over there!
Where is she?
Next to the lady in pink saree - the one in yellow saree!
Yellow Saree?
I didn't see.
Yeah, I saw.
Where?
I didn't see.
There she is!
Look there!
Then I must see her!
All of you clap your hands..clap nicely!
Not to slap on my face! Clap your hands! Rascal!
Did you see? Yellow saree?
I didn't see.
I saw.
Are you not ashamed, in this age?
- Praise the Lord, Father-Hmm
What is going on here?
When all are praising the Lord, are you guys gazing at women?
Father, we forget ourselves in the internal bliss
Yes, Father! We weren't gazing at Annie as you think!
- Annie? - Yes!
Yes, Father! His little sister, whom he lost in childhood in a church fest!
From then on, wherever he sees a crowd, he keeps looking for his sister.
Isn't n, Joppa?
- Son, what is your name?-Eldo!
If you tell such cooked up stories again
I will extend 5 days retreat to 50 days! Mind you!
Don't force me to take stringent measures!
Praise God! Praise God!
I must somehow meet her! Any idea?
My dear Thoppa! She must be a mother of three now.
Then, what is the use?
But she doesn't appear like a mother!
That's rig ht!
Definitely an ex-lover will be excited to know
whether his lady love has any children or is he capable of that?
He must be! That is said to be the true lover.
Don't tell nasty jokes
When I suddenly saw her the other day, I desired to meet her. That's all!
We'll fulfill your wish, Joppan.
ST.MARYS BLOCK!
She should be somewhere here.
Oh! Anybody can reach till here!
Tell me how you'll get inside and find Annie.
That's rig ht!
Came for the retreat!
But retreat is in the hall!
What business do you have in Women's block?
In fact, we were looking for the Kitchen.
My stomach is upset since morning.
If your stomach is upset, go to the bathroom and not to the Kitchen.
Gone, but it is severe now
If I eat some crushed ginger and garlic,
though there will be a burning sensation It will give some relief, says this bro!
So we were looking for the kitchen.
Kitchen is over there.
Sick persons can go there. - Come in search of Kitchen!!
Why are you giggling, baby?
Ogling, is it?
You are smart!
Big words from a tiny mouth!
What is your name, dear?
Roselin! They call me Rosa!
Who? Your mother'?
I have no mother. She passed away.
I only have father and grandma.
What's the need to worry? This Uncle also has no father.
Only mother! I'll give my mother to this Rosa Kutty!
In return, give your papa to me, okay! Ag reed?
Hmm..Done!
What sin did you do to come here?
Oh no! I didn't commit any sins.
I came to pray for my papa
What is his sin?
A heavy drinker!!
Is drinking such a big sin?
It's because you don't know, Uncle.
You know what our Church Father said?
What?
Drinking is the root cause for all the Sins.
My papa is also similar to that.
If he's not drunk, he is a poor thing.
He loves me lot.
If drunk, he's violent!
She is right!
When he's drunk, he's mad. He'll torture everyone.
In fact, he was really good.
After my daughter's death, he changed like this.
If my Papa comes here, he will give up taking drinks.
Father will surely make him stop drinking.
Why don't you bring him here then?
You can't bring him here that easily.
For a couple of times, people tried taking him forcibly for treatment and retreat!
But didn't succeed!
If he drinks, he will go out of control.
Only if Lord favors, anything will happen.
But I'm only worried about this little girl.
If anything happens to me, then..
Nothing like that will happen! Is it not, naughty?
Retreat will begin now. We will move.
Hearing that child's story, my heart writhes in pain!
Why don't we go and have a gulp?
- Yes, sure - Or else no!
Whenever we feel happy or sad, we take drinks!
Now didn't you listen to that man's story!
Forget about me! Don't you guys have family and children?
What if we bring that little girl's papa here?
HOW?
I'll escape from here!
Heard people escaping from Central Jail.
But no one escaped from this Kottamala divine retreat center so far
We didn't come here doing any crimes, right?
I will take care of that. Just stand beside me.
Come.
Sorry, I called by mistake.
They Nave ganeufiane away'.!
Where is Thoppan?
- My dear Shepherds! - Oh Ghost!
Oh priest, run!
Thoppan became a Priest!
Great look! One selfie please!
Me also.
Slowly!
Come here.
I'll escape in that vehicle.
You all go!
One more thing! If anybody asks you anything,
Say you don't know anything. Okay?
My dear Joppa! I know you are taking a big risk.
Sun I say!
I am pretty sure that you'll bring that child's father tomorrow.
While returning, get me a full please!
Take this Rs.200. Put the rest!
I know you will do as told!
As you say!
Where are you going, child?
Pardon, Father!
- Where are you going, child? - Mangalapuzha Father!
Came to deliver some books from Seminary.
Can you please drop me at Chenagara junction?
I got a retreat there.
Certainly, Father! Please get in.
Some irritation in my nose, I don't know why!
Start the vehicle
- Are you suffering from severe cold? - Yes
Why no beard, only moustache?
That's in our congregation, we can grow moustache!
I'm going to sleep! Wake me up when we reach.
Definitely! We'll reach only by dawn.
Doesn't matter if it dawns after reaching there
Or reach there and then dawn!
But don't fail to wake me up!
Father! Reached Chenagara junction
Thank you a lot! What is your name?
Balram!
With this Khakhi attire, when I wait in the stand,
My friends call me Inspector Balram.
- You appear to be so. - Is it?
What is your name, Father?
Father Alias Jacky!
Rain - Umbrella - Slow motion!
He is really Father Jacky!
It's around 25 yrs since I started this.
Till now nobody has run away from my sight!
See the way he stands! As if he's swallowed something!
If anything happens to him, I'll be held responsible.
His friends are coming.
Where has this Thoppan disappeared?
Definitely that Father Valam Puli(Tamarind) will kill us today.
No Valam Puli but Valamparambil
However death is for sure.
Better tell the truth! Where did he go?
If you don't answer, you will see my true colours.
Father, we also wish to know the same thing.
What happened to Joppan who was sleeping beside us last night?
Or has anybody abducted him?
As if!
Father, what am I going to tell mother?
He is her only son.
If anything happens to Joppan, you will pay for it.
Also say that the lungs are like sponges, like a cigarette advertisement!
As it's a missing case, it will land us in soup!
Don't frighten me.
O God! Where would I go in search of Joppan?
- Joppan! - Let it be any aappan!
Please wait for 5 minutes!
Need to load a consignment from here.
Give way, my child!
Let me go there
Praise the Lord, father!
Blessed is our God, always, now and ever.
Who is the Lazar master among them?
The guy who is holding a man!
You mean the man who's carrying a man or the man who is being carried by a man?
The man who's carrying a man!
He remains as a Master until he leaves home.
If he gulps 2 pegs, he becomes mad!
Sir, can you disperse them?
Even if I nab him now, he will be out after 2 days.
He is a certified mad man
Why do I needlessly ruin my family?
Shall I give a try?
Where are you coming from, Father?
Kudamaloor!
Don't needlessly hurt yourself! Better get away.
Isn't it the duty of a Good Shepherd to show the right way to the lost sheep?
Then, Shepherd, go and get it.
Lazar, surrender
Lazar, I say to surrender!
I'm the Father telling Lazar, Surrender!!
No respect towards Father also!
He is not a Father! He's BRUCE LEE!
Luke 19:46 - Lord says
“My house will be a house of Prayers"
It's a holy place
Similarly our hearts also“
What is this Father?
O God! Has he become a Priest?
- Papa!-Get inside
Baby!
What nonsense have you done, that too wearing a Cassock?
O Father! I didn't run away from here.
I went to bring this man here.
Who is he?
This Child's father.
Severe alcoholic!
What this child says is, that Father will somehow reform her Papa!
A belief!
No matter if you don't reform me, please reform him
As I've no family or commitments, that won't be an issue.
As I couldn't tolerate the woe of this child and his mother..
Please accept him.
It's true, Father! Uncle went only for my sake.
If you still think what I did was roguishness, send me away.
Change your dress and come, Joppa!
Aunty!
Look!
Do you recognize me?
Are you coming back only now after making me wait for years?
Didn't you give your heart to someone else before I returned?
I came to Mettupalayam Church on your betrothal.
As I had no strength seeing you joining hands with someone,
I quit the place!
When mother and maternal uncles forced me,
It's true that I agreed to it.
But even after the betrothal,
I was not able to forget you, Joppan.
Finally, I met the groom, disclosed the truth.
And my marriage got cancelled.
For denying the marriage, arranged by my uncles,
my mother defeated me with her death.
I felt I shouldn't ruin the life of my little brother also"
Hence I started living for him.
Now I work as a home nurse.
So you're still unmarried?
Thank heavens! God is really great!
I'm also unmarried!
But now I came here to...
get married!
Get...Get married?
Annie!
Bye!
What is the reason for marrying someone else after waiting for you these many years?
That's what I also don't understand.
What she said was right.
She is getting married.
She is here for a premarital counseling!
When I saw her here again,
I believed Lord gifted me her for coming to the retreat!
So sad!
Can make out from Thoppan's face. .he is heartbroken!
Why don't we talk to Annie's fiance?
No! We'll find out some other alternative. Come!
I knew you will surely ask me this.
I'd like to know why this sudden change of mind,
having waited for me for so long years?
My 1st job as a Home nurse was"
to look after a paralysed mother injured in a car accident.
She loves me a lot.
He's that mother's son Roy whom you saw yesterday.
In that accident, Roy's wife and child died.
Even Roy had a major injury in his leg.
One day suddenly his mother suffered a severe chest pain and was hospitalised.
Lying on the hospital bed, his mother told me..
That Roy is in love with me. I need to give him a life.
Or else he will be left stranded alone in this World!
If that happens my soul will not rest in peace!
When his mother said that, I couldn't refuse her words!
I agreed, Joppa!
The promise I gave to her in death-bed"
If I break that promise, Lord will not forgive me.
That oldie on death bed went away putting me in trouble!
My brother's education lies in the strength of that promise.
I'm indebted to her!
So please forget everything, Joppan!
It's okay
To forget everything, I started drinking.
To forget drinking, I came for the retreat.
When I came for the retreat,
You appeared before me reminding my past, Annie!
Now to forget all this, I have to start drinking again.
Doesn't matter!
Only bars are shut down! Still there are lots of beverages.
Joppa, one minute.
I'm Roy!
I know.
I think you are too late!
Doesn't matter! I always reach late!
Whether in school or home...
And I got enough thrashings for that!
Will also take this in the same way.
See you!
This handicapped has come to express his bloody condolences!
It's not late, rascal! Will be enough if you give me a way for it!
Joppa, I want to return you something.
Whatever it may be, don't ever write so ill of your ex lover!
See you then!!
What happened, Joppa?
Where are those vagabonds?
Sitting over there!
This is an apt place to hide after running away from liabilities!
Hey you!
- What's this?-Paper!
What paper? What is in this?
Read it!
To dear Roy!
Learning about your marriage,
one of your well wishers is writing this to you.
The girl whom you are about to marry
has an illicit affair with an alcoholic rascal called Joppan in Thopparankudi!!
He..
Who is this“
Who the hell is this Well wisher!
My dear Thoppa! Please don't harm us. I will tell you the truth.
As we don't have much experience in life,
The well wisher who helped to write this was,
this Pappachayan! Here he is!
What I thought was"
Slap me if you wish! I don't mind.
We have only one wish
You should marry Annie!
She is your girl!
Only for that we did all this!
Forgive us if it's wrong.
Hell with Annie!
Jesus has said that he has seen your mate earlier itself!
But he has not seen my mate still!
They will leave, after tomorrow's retreat,.
And we'll also go our way.
Then, no question of seeing!
Lovers of Jesus! Today is the last day of your retreat!
By the grace of Jesus,
Those who are repentant before Lord,
He will bestow His mercy!
All who came here as alcoholics will change into Cupids!
M.V Cupids!
You all work against alcoholism!
Due to many reasons, for those whose marriage has been cancelled,
or marriage has not happened,
Lord will surely give the right partners that they had desired.
All of you pray with faith and hope!
Now go and pack all your things and return home.
Wait, please, sit! I forgot to announce an important thing.
That is, “Philatosinte Vilapam" - written and composed by me,
and sung by Marcos, Dalema, Kester,
is available in the form of a CD,
is sold at our office stall! Please buy a copy! Rs.150 is the cost!
We will do as you say, Thoppa!
Uncle!
Do you feel happy, Lazer Master'?
Thanks a lot!
God will bless you, son!
He says he will not drink hereafter.
Not only he'd say, but he will never drink at all! Right, master?
I will not drink.
I must live the rest of my life for them.
All this happened because of you, Joppan!
It's a sort of an Omen!
Or will Lord utilize this heavy drinker to bring you here?
It is like that! Certain things will happen at certain time!
You are happy, don't you, naughty?
Double happy!
Come on, give me a kiss.
We will move then. Bye!
That's...l came to ask you a very important thing.
- You are not yet married, are you? - Hmm!
As you've crossed the marriageable age,
Why don't you adopt sainthood for the rest of your life?
You look splendid in Cassock attire!
Father, A Saint can become a Rascal
But a rascal can never ever become a Saint!
O my Suresh Gopi(artist) I didn't just remember that!
It's my mistake only!
Have you reformed after attending the retreat, Matha?
When bro and mother couldn't reform me, how will I now?
My teachers touched my head and said that I will never reform.
Then, how will I?
And you, Aravindan?
Till now I've not reformed! Don't know whether I'll reform later!
And Pappachayan?
- At this age? - What about you, Thoppan?
I was about to reform but finally it slipped from my hands!
Didn't I already say? Needlessly you got worried!
Shall we leave?
You guys sit down. I will be back now.
Leaving, right?
I got something to tell you.
About what?
I didn't write that letter!
It was their mischief!
Though senseless, they love me dearly!
In my childhood days, my mother used to say,
If I kneel down and pray, all our wishes will come true!
But it refers only to wishes and not greediness!
I considered my wishes as greediness.
Moreover I got used to it also.
Me, one full and my friends are there,
We will be happy!
In fact it is you who needs a support now.
Annie is good...
...Very good!
Let me not stay any longer!
I'll move.
What happened?
What did you say?
- See if he is calling me back! - Eh!
See if he is calling me back.
No, Thoppa! He is very practical. There he goes taking her!
You became senti? Now no value for sentiments!
Call and say.
When they don't hear your call, how will they hear us?
Call and order for a bottle!
- Really? - Can't you call and order a bit earlier?
Bloody rascal! His other leg should've also got broken!
What sort of a person he is! Taking away other's lover!
Bygones are Bygones! Forget it, Joppa!
We'll begin our party!
Yeah Joppa! Shall we break!
Come on, break it, Thoppa!
- Shall I break? - Hmm!
What have you done, Thoppa?
It is also a dry day today.
As if! Girls will come and go as they wish!
Depending on that, we're not mad to drink and create a nuisance!
Tell them to mind their business!
- Thoppa, it's them" -Who?
Annie and Roy!
Why are they coming here now?
To return her! What else?
Yes!
Really?
Yeah! Or else is there any need for them to come here?
Possible, Joppa!
- When I saw Roy the 1st time, I considered him to be a poor thing! - Hmm!
- We came to invite you for the marriage.- Eh!
She insisted that I must invite you first
All girls are the same.
Their hobby is to hurt even the corpse!
Marriage is on this 26th at our diocese church.
All of you must reach at the right time!
We will surely attend.
We are moving then! Carry on with your celebration.
Come!
Break his other leg also.
Girls will come and go as they like!
Any need to lose senses?
Carry him.Hold his legs.
Thought of sprinkling some water! But threw away the bottle also.
It's the 1 st time I'm seeing a fainted person fanning!
“At first the Lord created Man"
"He got a mate"
“He got a company"
“At first the Lord created Man"
"He got a mate"
“He got a company"
Don't worry, Joppa! We'll also perform a wedding.
You can never defeat this Chandu!
In life, many have defeated Chandu many times.
Children, don't you have anything to study?
Instead of watching T.V, Go and study!
It's Vacation now!
Shouldn't you study during vacation?
Just because somebody else defeated you, what is the need of shouting at children?
Should I stand upside down?
Aren't you ashamed of relishing the marriage feast of your lover?
All of you will make me go mad!
Isn't there anything to eat?
Haven't you had the marriage feast?
To hell with the marriage feast!
Get something for him to eat.
No need of worrying like this!
Is she the only girl in this World?
We must find a girl who suits us.
Paulose brought a new proposal.
Go and see the bride tomorrow.
I will neither go nor see any bride!
If you really insist, all of you can go and fix it.
I'm ready to tie the knot to any demon!
Not for seeing the bride! But for the bride to see you!
Can that girl come here to see you?
Girl is from No.1 Elite family!
Don't say anything more.
Take your friends and see the bride!
I'll decide the rest!
Will not work! I'm also not going.
This Chandichan Marykutty's Order!
You must see the bride tomorrow.
- Don't always buy on debt. At times, you must pay also! - Stop!
- Didn't I pay money and buy last month? - Is that so?
- Bro! - He is calling you.
- Which is Sunnyachayan's house? - What for?
., Bride seeing?
Go down straight. 4th house from left
I know! Needn't have asked! I know it well!
Come on, move.
What a pity! Trying to jump into a dilapidated well!
If at all we say something, we'll be named as “Marriage-breaker"!!
Even otherwise, you are called so, right?
Get going! Buy things and go.
If this proposal is also hindered, both of you will get it from me!
What will I do? She is refusing to come.
You better ask her to come!
Groom's people who are coming are not aware of her past history!
When I'm somehow managing to fix it,
you people are"!
Groom's people have reached!
Don't keep staring. Go and bring her.
Come.
Please come.
He is the Groom!
I guessed it from his appearance. Please come.
Please...Sit down
And these people...?
We are Joppan's friends!
Not just friends.
If they are not there, there is no Joppan and without Joppan, they are not there!
- Please call the bride. - Sure!
Here comes the bride!
Doctor?
What about your registered marriage?
- Okay? - Let the Groom sign now.
Sign here.
Sir, this is my first time.
That's Okay, sign.
- Thomaskutty -Oh Jesus Christ!
O my Goodness!
Then?
That fall ultimately led him to hospital.
Knowing that he will be discharged on 3rd day,
I went to hospital,
I only found a letter!
What was written on that letter?
My dear Maria Varkey,
A life without mummy and brothers.
I can't even imagine.
They are everything to me!
But..l still love you.
But living a life together -it's impossible!
Marry someone else and live happily.
If possible, name your 1st child after my name Thomas Kutty!
Only my dog will put his name for our child!
We shall name our child after my father's name - Chandichan!
Joppan, if it's a girl child, what name will you put?
ANNIE will be fine, right? Good name, isn't it?
As reed!
Matha, Call..
For a bottle, isn't it?
- No. Call mother and say, everything is done. - Okay.
