Fun
Self-controlled and vehement...
One who shows great excellence...
He is the mighty!
Self-controlled and vehement...
One who shows great excellence...
Of exalted lineage...
The hero!
This is what Dhananjaya has explained in the Dasharupaka,
about the qualities a 'Hero' should possess.
Self-controlled and vehement...
Baldy!
One who shows great excellence!
Baldy!
Get up.
Sir...
Enter the class only after bringing your guardians.
Sir, it wasn't me.
If not you, then who was it?
Sir, it wasn't me.
Then who was it?
Isn't this you, Maashe (Master)?
Nice!
- Very nice, right? - Sir, he drew this in the class.
Sir, he doesn't know how to behave to teachers.
He has insulted me several times in class.
And while class is going on, he keeps calling me names.
- What did you call him? - Sir, it wasn't me.
What did you call him?
I didn't call him anything.
Your house is at Naripparambu, right?
Tell me fast. What did you call Master in class?
Tell me!
- Sir... - Sir, that's not necessary.
Just give him a warning.
Don't you know how to behave to a teacher?
After all, Master is as old as your father, right?
- Yes. - Stay out of class for two days.
Get out! Get out, I say!
Sir, my book.
Sir...
It's 30.
Didn't you say that I'm as old as his father?
I'll be only 31, this September.
Maashe, can't you chop all this off, and be more presentable?
It's for maturity...
- For what? - I've kept it for maturity.
Is this maturity?
Nice maturity!
Thank you, sir.
See you.
Sigh! Maturity, it seems!
Look, Vasu.
We don't need a girl who's too modern.
She should be educated enough...
... and should have some grace on her face. That's all.
I understand everything.
We need a girl as pure as a Tulsi leaf, right?
I have all that!
But we would have to make some major compromises from our side too.
We also have some shortcomings, right?
What shortcomings?
He is young, right?
He's a college professor, as well.
And yeah, his hair may not be dense enough.
Is that a shortcoming?
That's not a major shortcoming.
I'm saying this out of my experience.
We would have to make some major compromises from our side.
Hey! Charles Darwin...
William Shakespeare, Mahatma Gandhi, Vaikkom Muhammed Basheer...
None of them had a lot of hair on their heads.
None of them made any compromise while getting married.
But our case is not so easy.
If it's not easy, you don't make it complicated, please.
I'll take care of myself.
Inviting fools who don't know anything, to make me feel bad!
... had fun...
What is 'Being bald' called in English?
Baldness.
- Boldness? - A saintly...
Ask sir.
A small rose flower.
A small....
Excuse me, sir.
Just a minute.
A small rose flower.
- What is it? - There's a good news.
Rahim, did you get my mark list?
It's a photo-copy paper, right? What's wrong if you lose it?
The content of the paper is what matters, right?
That's what I'm also asking. It has only your marks, right?
Maashe, it will be at the office. I'll search for it.
Go quickly, read the post for you, and be happy!
Just a minute, sir. It's my wife.
- Hello! - Sir...
Look.
- Sir, it's the appointment letter. - Nice.
So try to get married and settle down in life now.
Let everything be happy.
Thank you, sir.
Drink it, son.
It's orange juice. Drink it.
Drink it!
He's basically quite shy.
Have it.
This is our daughter.
Dear...
That's his younger brother.
Kamal.
This is Sreeni.
I want to meet that marriage broker!
What's the point in blaming the broker?
Shouldn't he tell them earlier that the groom doesn't have much hair?
My dear Nirmala, does a family & children happen because of hair?
Drinking tea where the broker sends us, is a terribly old custom!
In this age when we can find brides online!
Getting married seeing a photo, won't be right.
Can you stop this?
I'm not coming anymore for match-making ceremonies.
Did I tell you that I want to get married?
Your horoscope says that after 31 years,
you'll be on the path of renunciation as a monk! Don't forget that.
What's wrong with being a monk?
Being a monk is a journey to spirituality,
and knowledge...
It's a journey towards spirituality and knowledge.
Just you and me.
No. Let's go to that place you like.
Let's go on the bike.
I'll come wherever you ask me to.
Then?
Just a second.
Then let's go and have juice.
No. Shake!
Whatever!
Just a second!
What is this, Chetta (brother)?
Shouldn't I watch TV?
Just a second.
After this short break.
NTV presents Comedy Raja, powered by Confi-man!
Have you lost your sleep along with your hair?
Stay confident!
Confi-man is with you!
Confi-man Hair fixing,
Dubai, Karama and Kottayam...
Yes, Teacher. Tell me.
Sir, I'll be late to reach tomorrow.
- Are you free during the first hour? - Yes.
If so, could you please attend to my class?
Why not?
Thank you.
- Thank you. Good night. - Good night.
See you.
I'm fed up of this match-making drama, Rahim.
Every time, I get dressed up,
and take a day off, to get humiliated.
That's what I'm also saying, sir.
You don't have to go for match-making again.
Let's enquire directly to girls we know.
So both of you can get to know each other quickly.
Sir...
- Thanks. - Okay, Teacher.
Sir, shall I tell you something?
Why don't you think about our Babitha Teacher?
That won't work.
Teacher and I are people working in the same institution, right?
Why should we... What would she think?
What's she going to think?
Think about it, sir.
Isn't this a good proposal?
Isn't it?
- Teacher! - Hey!
Rahim!
Just a minute.
- Have you found a house yet, Teacher? - No, Rahim.
I have told a couple of people.
But we need to search extensively, right?
- Sreenivasan Master knows one house. - Is it?
- We were just talking about it. - Is it?
Is it someone you know, sir?
Yes.
Tomorrow or day after, sir and I will be going there.
If it's okay, we will inform you.
Please make it fast.
Okay then. Thanks.
Which is this house that I know?
Maashe, this is how we move things forward.
If the house is okay, then everything will be smooth.
Maashe...
Teacher is from Palakkad.
Her father is no more.
She has her mother and a younger sister.
She's studying.
Babitha Teacher is the source of income in their house.
Very nice family.
Shall we fix this, Maashe?
Rahim, we haven't arranged a house for Teacher yet, right?
So you're smitten, huh?
Was yours an arranged marriage, Rahim?
No, sir. Mine was a love marriage.
How was it like?
What?
I was temporarily posted at the Electricity Board earlier.
Ameera had come there for data entry.
That's where I saw her for the first time.
But...
I had three really strong opponents there.
Suhail, Sooraj and Salman.
In between all that, this poor Rahim.
I might not win, Maashe.
But I can't admit defeat, right?
I applied the last trick I had up my sleeve.
There are only two things that can't be refused, when served beautifully.
Love and food.
There ain't anyone in Ponnani who hasn't tasted them both.
Then, I made that a habit.
One day, instead of food,
I served my love for her.
Do you love me?
'Taste'
The one who can't differentiate between sweets & spices, is reading a cook-book?
- Mom! - Yes.
Do you know to make Pulao?
Pulao! Pulao!
Here you go.
For Rahim.
- Aren't you eating, Maashe? - Yes, I will.
Teacher...
Try it.
No, sir. I've brought my own lunch.
Have it, Teacher.
It's a special dish by my mom.
Nice!
It's really tasty.
Teacher, do you want some?
No, Teacher. My stomach is full.
Sreenivasan sir brought it from his house. His mother prepared it.
It's really tasty.
Rahim, do you want some?
Master's special dish.
Did it go to the wrong person?
No, Teacher. I had food from outside.
Maashe, the Pulao is really nice.
Sir, this idea has a copyright, by the way.
- I was just... - What?
I was just casually...
Understood! Casually, right?
"I sang a string of humming, it turned as a song by itself."
"You saw through the door."
"A glance to the back."
"Interest is forming. Greediness is developing."
"It is getting cooked with this love intoxication."
"Dreams are getting mounted up."
"An anticipation blossomed."
"So many nights I suffered alone in the cold."
"I walked alone in the sun heat for so long."
"Today the ringing sound of a bell reached my ears."
"You appeared at the appropriate time."
"Dreams are getting mounted up."
"An anticipation blossomed."
"The strings of my heart started play on seeing you."
"The pounding of my heartbeat started to rise."
"This love snack created many emotions in my heart."
"Dreams are getting mounted up."
"An anticipation blossomed."
Will this work out, Rahim?
After all, I am a Professor, right?
Don't worry, Maashe. Give it to her, with full confidence.
Seems like I lost the flow of writing which I had earlier.
I've lost touch... but that's okay.
Read it and see, Rahim.
Malayalam Master has lost touch?
Let me see.
O Companion...
The golden star who appeared in the vast sky of my heart!
Omni....
'Omniscient' Knowing everything...
'Omni-sceint'
Permit me to be omniscient within you!
This is just a drop of the ocean of love in my heart,
on which mighty rock bridges have been built...,
that has overflown, despite my best efforts to contain it.
It is my heart that reflects in this.
Regard this prayer with the holiness of a Brahmin's hands seeking Karna'sArmour.
From your colleague who has fallen head over heels for you!
What is this, Maashe?
A thesis?
You'll have to give Teacher a Thesaurus also along with this!
What's wrong with this?
Is this how you write a love letter?
Can she understand anything if you write like this?
Why wouldn't she understand?
So I should reduce the standard of my writing.
Is that what you're saying?
This is not something to demonstrate your knowledge!
Maashe, you should do this in a simple way.
You do one thing. Sit here.
And I'll tell you.
You write that.
Sit here, Maashe.
Sit, Maashe.
Here.
Write.
Tell me.
Dear Teacher...
No need 'Dear'.
There's no problem. Write it, Maashe.
I would lose my job, Rahim.
There won't be any problem. Write it.
I am a professor, right?
I'm telling you, Maashe. Write it.
Dear Teacher...
Ever since I saw you for the first time,
Write it, Maashe.
Ever since...
I saw you...
for the first time,
Let's do one thing.
Let's include a couple of lines from my letter in this.
- It will be great. - Yeah! Great!
'A Brahmin's hands seeking Karna's Armour'.
Perfect line to add in a love letter!
Aren't you having lunch, Teacher?
I have some work to do. I'll have it after that.
Teacher...
Teacher, you know how busy I am?
When I get a holiday, there would be a wedding to attend somewhere.
I was supposed to get a Biriyani even today.
But I can't take a day off, for a Biriyani, right?
If everyone holds their weddings on working days, what can I do?
I would have gone instead of you, Rahim!
One Biriyani didn't have to go wasted.
I'll tell you something, Teacher.
You should hold your wedding on a holiday!
Right, Maashe?
Don't worry. I'll hold it on a day when you have a holiday.
You shouldn't be considering my holiday alone.
Well, do you have any plans?
Kind of.
We are considering proposals.
But I should find the right person for me, right?
If you don't have many demands, shall we look for someone from our own surroundings?
I don't have any particular concept of beauty!
We should believe only in inner beauty.
That's what my mother has taught me.
Ever since Sreenivasan sir's job became permanent,
his parents have been searching for a bride rigorously.
What's your opinion about him?
What do I say about him!
He is a gentleman!
Hello! Go ahead! Say it!
- Teacher... - Yes.
I...
I have to tell you something.
What is it, sir? Tell me.
Teacher, a new Master has come to the English department.
A handsome young man.
- Is it? - You should see him!
He's a sight to behold!
Yes.
This is our Malayalam department.
He's our new guest lecturer. Sajeev.
That is Sreenivasan sir.
This is Shyamala Teacher. That's Babitha Teacher.
Babitha Teacher, he's from your home-town.
From Shornur.
Where are you in Shornur, Teacher?
Mannannur.
- I live in the city itself. - Is it?
Come. Let's go to the Hindi department.
Rahim...
Maashe! Maashe!
Our confidence is everything!
"I realized, I am a traveller travelling alone."
"I got separated from the world."
"I decided to strengthen myself."
"I realized, I am a traveller travelling alone."
"I can digest all pleasures."
"A tree without strength."
"Henceforth, this strong mind won't weaver."
"I won't give way to any temptation. I won't get tired or distracted."
"Henceforth, this strong mind won't weaver."
"I won't give way to any temptation. I won't get tired or distracted."
"This state of mind is so beautiful."
Hey!
If it goes on like this, I think Sreeni would end up as a monk.
No! Never.
- May I come in, sir? - Yes.
Sir...
- What is it? - Sir, I...
I have passed in all subjects.
I got degraded for Malayalam though.
If you increase my internal marks, I'll pass.
What's the point?
You failed in your mother tongue and passed in all other subjects?
What's the point?
Sir, please.
If I get the internal marks, I'll pass.
No point in making me angry.
Go, read something and study properly!
You had to stand like this, because you didn't study properly.
Sir, please.
Get going! Don't make me angry!
I have lots of work here.
- Sir.. - Yes.
Your mark list, sir.
- Where did you get it from? - It was stuck between the answer sheets.
You had low marks in English, huh?
Sir, I...
Hey! Wait there.
Show me your answer sheet.
- What's your name? - Sreejith.
What grade did you get?
- D? - D, Is it?
- I'll make it B. - Thanks, sir.
But I'll monitor whether you're studying or not, son.
Okay, sir.
- So, my English marks? - I've forgotten that, sir.
Forgot it, right?
- Very good. - Sir, thank you.
- Rahim, did you get it? - It's not there, Maashe.
I searched all around that bus stand. No one has seen such a bag.
Sir, shall we file a complaint at the police station?
Whatever!
Sir, tell me your number.
Nine-Eight...
Three...
You'll have my number on your phone, right?
He doesn't remember his own number!
No wonder he forgot this.
My dear sir,
those are documents that have to be submitted...
to the University Registrar at 12 PM tomorrow.
Your suspension is confirmed, sir.
- Suspension? - Suspension!
My dear Rahim, go and find it from somewhere, somehow!
- Excuse me? - Yes.
Does this bag belong here?
Yes, yes!
Thank you!
- Thank you! - Okay.
- Where did you get this bag from? - From the bus.
Thank you!
Thanks a lot!
- I'm in a hurry. Shall I leave? - Okay.
Maashe, shouldn't we offer at least a tea for her?
- That's true. - Come, Maashe.
Madam...
Why don't you have a tea and go?
I don't have time now.
- That bag was mine. - Was it?
My name is Professor Sreenivasan.
What's your name?
Safiya.
Nice name.
- Okay then. - Okay.
- Sir... - Yes.
Can you give me your number?
Mine?
Note it down.
‏989 ...‏
‏350 ...‏
‏866 ... ‏
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
So you remember your number, huh?
Well, I...
When sir asked, I forgot my number in that tension.
Understood!
- What about sir? - What will Sir think?
Hello!
Is it Professor Sreenivasan sir?
- Yes. - I am Safiya.
- Safiya... - I'd brought your bag back today.
Oh yes! Safiya!
I couldn't talk anything then. I was in a hurry.
- Well, I was also thinking of meeting you. - Is it?
I couldn't even say thanks properly.
I'm coming near your campus tomorrow.
Are you free, sir?
- Hello? - I have class tomorrow.
I'll be slightly busy till 4.30 PM. I'll be free after that.
That's okay.
I mean, if it's not a trouble for you...
I had to tell you something.
Then we'll meet tomorrow.
Okay. See you tomorrow.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - Good night.
Good night.
(Driving 2-wheeler without wearing helmet is a punishable offence)
Am I late?
- No! No! - No?
Please come, sir.
You're painting when the shop is open?
- Sorry. I didn't see you, sir. - Fool!
- Hey! Where were you looking? - I was looking at the wall.
Sorry sir.
Sorry Madam.
It's white-wash. There's no problem.
It'll go with a wash.
Didn't you see him coming?
You can sit there.
Where are you looking?
Sir, thinner.
Thin.. Thin...
- What did he say? - Lucky that he didn't have hair.
Such carelessness!
Painting while the shop's open!
Just to trouble people!
Sorry.
It's all right.
Have you had Masala Tea from here, sir?
I don't drink tea or coffee.
Only milk.
Shall I order milk then?
No. I had it before coming.
Actually, I wanted to tell you something.
Tell me.
But this situation isn't suitable for that.
I'll tell you the next time we meet.
It's okay. You can tell me.
No. I'll definitely tell you the next time we meet.
- Shall I leave now? - Okay.
I'll call you in the evening.
Okay.
She calls and sets up a meeting with you!
Buys Masala tea for you!
She must have noted you from that bus itself.
I'll tell you one thing for sure, Maashe.
This didn't start out of the blue. I'm sure about that.
Yeah right!
And Maashe,
since she hasn't said anything yet, we shouldn't think too much.
That's true.
Anyway, let's see.
In between this, if you feel like drinking a Masala Tea,
you can go ahead and call her. Make it really sweet.
Don't compromise on that!
Okay?
- Okay, Rahim. I'll call you. - Okay then.
[Masala Tea]
Chetta (Brother) ...
Half a glass of Masala Tea.
We don't serve halves here, Maashe.
I'll give it for half the money though.
(Driving 2-wheeler without wearing helmet is a punishable offence)
"A new spring season flower blossomed on he cheeks..."
"The honey of the flower got mixed in my tea cup..."
"A new spring season's small flower blossomed in my heart."
"Giving way to many new feelings..."
If you are free in the afternoon on Friday,
shall we meet?
There's a staff meeting on Friday.
It's all right.
You come, Safiya. Let's meet.
Okay.
Let's meet, sir.
It's time for me to leave to the office.
Okay then.
Thank you.
Safiya...
Can you avoid calling me 'Sir'?
Thank you, Maashe.
[I've left. When will you leave?]
Are you free now, Maashe?
I'm outside.
Sorry.
About hosting a function to congratulate our students,
who won the Badminton Championship.
(Driving 2-wheeler without wearing helmet is a punishable offence)
Has it been long since you came, Safiya?
- No. I just came some time back. - Is it?
Nearby...
There's a shop which serves a special juice nearby.
Have you had 'Cheeramulaku Sarbath' (mocktail), sir?
No
Then come. Let's go there.
But I'll pay.
Why not!
Do one thing. I'll call an auto rickshaw.
Then I can follow you, right?
No need to call an auto. Hop on, sir.
Let's do one thing.
I'll wait at the next junction. Just come there.
I'll get on it from there.
- Shall we sit here? - Okay.
Sit down, Maashe.
Was your meeting over?
No. I took permission and left from there.
- Oops! Was it a trouble for you? - No!
What trouble!
Are you actually studying...
or working? What are you doing, Safiya?
I actually came to talk about all that.
Is that so?
- That day was totally... - Yeah..
Don't remind me!
I don't have money
I was like...
Sir, Namaste.
Will you see to him?
What happened, Maashe?
In that case, you should continue your studies.
You have done PG, right?
Apply for a PhD!
One thing you need to know while applying for PhD is that,
you will have to read a lot!
Apply for PhD only if you are ready to read a lot!
So, nice to meet you!
Don't you have class?
Class time is over, sir.
- Done? - Yes.
Okay.
Maashe...
- You feel something now, right? - What?
Well, something within you...
Right?
That's there.
This something...
Those who haven't experienced it, won't understand it.
That's true.
But that girl hasn't told me anything, Rahim.
That's also true.
It's a message from that girl.
- Message? - Yes.
What is it?
Can you send me a pic of yours?
She's asking me to send my pic.
- Pic? - Yes.
What would it be for?
Ask her.
Send a pic?
- I'll ask her why. - Go ahead.
Pic? (Why?)
- 'I'll tell you' - No reply?
'I'll tell you', she's saying.
This is that 'something' I told you earlier.
What's there to think about? Send it.
Should I send it?
- Asking that again? Send it, Maashe. - Let me see.
Let me take a selfie.
Give it to me.
I'll click it.
Smile, Maashe.
Yeah, like that!
Okay!
Happy now?
But she's a Muslim girl, Rahim.
My family won't agree. My mother would create a problem.
Maashe, if that 'something' is there in your heart,
does caste and religion matter?
They would oppose initially.
But we shouldn't give up. We should stay strong.
Let them oppose, Maashe.
You can say all that, Rahim.
Your wedding happened without much trouble, right?
Right?
My dear Maashe...
Ameera has four brothers. And that too, Kung-Fu experts!
Only me and God know how difficult it was for me to catch a glance of her.
There aren't any tricks that Ameera's father doesn't know.
He has a special move of blindfolding himself, flying and kicking!
Maashe!
He hasn't taught that even to his own sons, yet.
From that big house with four brothers, and students who can make up 2 football teams,
I escaped one early morning, holding her hand.
Then there was a case, police, court, and what not.
But I stayed strong.
Do you wish to live with Idaykkarakath Rahman,
or do you want to go with your family, Ameera?
All the objections would bow down before us.
It's like that, Maashe.
But we shouldn't give up.
We should stay strong.
Let them oppose, Maashe.
Sreeni...
Who was that girl with you today?
She's my friend.
Is she a Muslim?
Yes.
Aren't you ashamed to report whatever you saw at home?
Can't you at least show the maturity of your age?
But he didn't say anything!
What?
He just said that he saw a girl with you. That's all.
Yes. He saw!
She's not just my friend. I love her.
I know that you are all against it.
Does she love you?
Why are you making him angry?
If they love each other, why do we have to consider religion or caste?
I don't have any objection!
I just want his wedding to happen somehow.
No objection?
- No objection at all? - No.
Religion and caste are not a problem at all.
Mom said that she just wants me to get married somehow.
Are you happy now, Maashe?
Everything is okay now, right?
That girl hasn't told me anything yet, Rahim.
What's there to say?
She bought tea for you.
Asked for your photo.
She wanted to meet you again.
There's no need for any doubt, Maashe.
No. That won't work. I must ask that girl.
Go ahead and ask her, Maashe.
- I'll ask her, right? - Yes.
- Ask her. - Okay. I'll call you later.
'I need to tell you something. Are you free today?'
- Hello. - Hello.
Good morning, Maashe.
Good morning.
Maashe, I'm quite busy today at my office.
I'll be late to leave, as well.
- Is it urgent? - No.
It would be great if we could meet. That's all.
Hey Safiya...
I'll be coming towards your side of town today.
To meet a friend of mine.
So I can come to your office.
Please come, Maashe.
I didn't say it because it might be trouble for you.
I'll WhatsApp my location to you.
That's enough.
- Okay then. - Thank you.
(Driving 2-wheeler without wearing helmet is a punishable offence)
I don't have change.
Keep the change.
Sreenivasan sir?
- Hello sir. - Hi.
Safiya Madam had told me about you. Please come.
Anyway, your decision was perfect.
Come.
Please sit, sir.
Safiya Madam will come now.
Sir, please sit
This is okay for you?
- This is fine - Okay
Sir, this is one?
- This... - Okay?
Maashe...
Welcome.
This is our office.
Come. Let's sit inside and talk.
Come.
I try to say this, every time we meet.
But every time, it doesn't work out.
But there was a design in my mind, since the first time I saw you.
Please check this.
How is it, Maashe?
Nice.
What do you feel, Maashe?
I know that you don't need any counseling to wear a wig, Maashe.
You are strong!
Hello.
Chetta (brother) ...
45 Parottas...
20 plates of beef fry.
15 Al-Fahmchicken.
Cut them into quarter pieces.
And two plates of ghee rice too.
Is all this for you, dear?
Binuetta, don't be too serious, okay?
- Keep some extra mayonnaise too. - Okay.
Mom, sis' is ordering mayonnaise.
(Repeats mockingly)
Eat something and go. Don't waste what was made here.
She's the food-in-charge of her office, right?
She won't like our food, mom.
Don't you have class today?
Go and take bath!
Here's your tea.
Don't forget to meet that guy Ravi told us about.
- It's at 4 PM. - I'll go, mom.
I'm getting late to the office.
I'm leaving.
- Good morning! - Here comes Chinnu.
Look at her rushing!
Chinnu, dear... Check what's the time now!
Sorry
Come fast.
You're already quite late.
The black Saree is superb, and the brocade blouse too.
- Did you cut your hair? - No.
Chinnu...
How come you got late?
Didn't you get ready yet?
There was heavy traffic.
I have other work to do.
Chechi is really pretty today.
He's really angry.
This is so annoying!
Be demure and sit decently!
Women, all of you be demure and sit decently.
Like this!
Oh Mom!
What is it? Mom has been calling for a long time now!
It's a trap that has come through dad's relative.
Match-making!
I've told her that I'll meet him at Nila Park today evening.
Isn't that better?
Instead of inviting them home and serving snacks & tea!
Anyway, all the best.
Thanks, Chechi (sister).
- Hello - Hello
I'm at the park.
There's a fig tree here, right?
I'm standing under that.
I can see only a fat girl there.
That's me.
- Hi - Hi
I didn't mean it that way.
That's fine. You wouldn't have expected so much, right?
No! No!
Shall we sit and talk?
Oh!
It's quite hot, right?
Due to global warming...
- What? - Well...
I was saying that this extreme heat is due to global warming...
It's from my office.
Today's our annual programme.
So I escaped from there.
If you have a programme, please go for it.
No! It's okay.
Do you have anything to ask me?
Nothing in particular.
No. The meeting is over.
I haven't taken the scooty.
I'm waiting at the bus stop to come there.
I'll come and tell you.
Okay.
How will you go, Chinnu?
My office is close-by. So I thought I'll take a bus.
I said that you were fat, for an identification.
It's all...
To Kuttippuram!
Let's go! Let's go!
(Driving 2-wheeler without wearing helmet is a punishable offence)
Ticket?
Did you meet the guy?
Haven't I told you to send them my photo?
- I had sent it. - Yeah right!
I had given it to Ravi that day itself.
Weren't you with me then, Anu?
Couldn't you remind him, mom?
He would have forgotten.
Did you go and meet the girl Ravi told us about?
That won't work out. That girl is really fat.
(TV News)
What is this, Chechi?
When I saw him standing there like that, I felt sad for him.
Are you going to give it back?
I'll give it, right?
Won't he feel that as an insult?
If we find a lost set of spectacles, won't we return it to the owner?
So, if you find a fake tooth, will you return it?
Keep quiet. Don't confuse me.
Give it to me, Chechi. Let's give it to Uncle Ravi.
- He started all this, right? - No need.
I'll give it myself.
Don't tell this to anyone.
Rahim...
- Did you like the movie? - Did You like it, sir?
Of course. He's a master director, right?
Confining life to a single frame... It's brilliant!
What's your opinion about the movie?
Is this director still alive?
No. He's dead.
Isn't it bad to talk ill about the dead?
That's bad.
Aren't you watching the movie, sir?
I just got a call.
- Hello. - Hello.
This is Chinnu.
- Tell me. - Maashe, I'm outside your campus.
Are you in the college?
I wanted to meet you.
No. I'm busy here at a programme. I won't have time.
When will you be free?
I...
Your...
I have your hair-cap with me.
Should I hand it over to someone here?
No. I'll come there.
Where are you?
I'm right in front of the gate.
Maashe!
Wait, Maashe.
That English Master has left.
Babitha Teacher is still here.
- Where are you rushing off to? - Rahim, Let me Go to the toilet.
Please!
Maashe...
I thought I'll come in the morning, but I got busy at the office.
Am I troubling you?
You coming here with this, has troubled me!
- Then shall I take this and bring it... - No! Give it to me.
Give it, please.
Thanks a lot.
Okay.
Wait, Maashe.
Did you come running to see her? Who's that, Maashe?
She's an old friend of mine.
There's some gift in your hand, huh? Let me see!
Do you want to know everything?
What is this, Maashe?
Maashe, isn't that your friend?
Chinnu!
Get up, Chetta. Get up!
Maashe, leave that cover and hold his leg.
Call an auto rickshaw!
- Maashe, you get in. - Should I get in?
- Get inside, Maashe. - Rahim, You also come.
Is it Monday today?
- Go with him, Maashe. I'll call you. - Aren't you coming?
I'll call you. I'll find out which hospital it is, and call you.
Madam, are you hurt?
Let's go to the hospital. Get into the auto.
- Who's with the accident patient? - Me.
You should get a card.
A CT scan should be done.
These are the medicines.
- Make it fast. - Okay.
- Maashe, can you do me a favour? - Okay.
- I don't have enough cash with me. - So What?
We're all here, right? Give that bill.
Here you go, Maashe.
Just a second.
Rahim, do we have to do this?
Of course! She's close to you, right?
- Is she? - Yes.
So we should do everything.
You go and pay the bill quickly. Let me meet the doctor.
Go ahead, Maashe.
I'll pay the bill and come.
Sir, the auto rickshaw driver who came with you, gave me a cover.
- I've given it to that counter. - Cover?
I've given it there, at the counter.
He told me that he had given a cover here.
Is that yours, sir?
Yes.
It's at the Superintendent's table.
Sir will come now.
Get me that file.
He has a slight memory loss.
Someone should stay with him.
See that he doesn't leave.
If there's no other complication, he can be discharged tomorrow itself.
Okay Doctor.
We're lucky!
It's from my home. I haven't told them yet.
If they know, they will get worried.
Don't tell them all this. We are all here, right?
You go home now.
Right, Maashe?
Well, I have class tomorrow morning. There's no other problem.
You can wake up early and go from here, right?
And it will be difficult if more people stay here.
You go home.
- Okay. - Okay then.
Is it Monday today?
No. There's no other problem. I am at the hospital.
He has a slight injury on his hand. That's all.
Hello!
- Just a minute. - Superintendent sir gave this.
You opened this and saw?
It belongs to him. Give it yourself.
Sir, your cover.
Auto!
Maashe, thanks.
- I'll come early tomorrow. - That's okay.
- My friend is with me, right? - Okay.
Where are you going?
What a question, Maashe!
Ameera is alone at home!
And yeah, that guy doesn't have any sense.
You should be careful that he doesn't leave.
See you at the college tomorrow.
Hello! Hello!
You can't keep this here.
Chechi, did anything happen to your scooter?
Is that your problem?
That poor Chettan is all alone over there.
He's not alone.
His friend is with him.
Anyway, he ends up in disasters, whenever you go to meet him.
If they get married, it will be awesome.
Both of you leave.
I want to sleep. Go.
Good night, Chechi.
Good night!
(Driving 2-wheeler without wearing helmet is a punishable offence)
- Hello! - Hello, Maashe!
Yes, tell me.
How is it there?
Must be difficult for you and your friend since I left, isn't it?
No. It's all right.
The other guy went home. His wife is alone at home.
Oops! Then I'll inform my mother, and come there.
That won't be necessary.
I'll call you later.
Okay, Maashe.
Okay.
I want a bun.
- Bun? - Yes.
A bun, please.
What else do you want?
Do you have milk?
We're at the hospital.
I had a small accident.
It's all right.
I'll go home...
... freshen up and go to the college.
I haven't had tea.
The girl who hit you, will come now.
See you later.
Maashe, did you go to meet her, wearing that wig?
You're quite something!
Rahim, don't chatter and confuse my calculations.
What's the total?
Rs. 9,341.
And the money for tea, bun and milk is extra.
It's all right, Maashe.
If you're okay, you can add it to the dowry, right?
Are you mocking me?
When is he getting discharged?
By noon, they said.
Then don't waste time, Maashe. Go right away.
If things cool down, you many not be able to ask the money.
That's a point.
- Take your phone too. - That's a correct point.
Your phone.
Sorry. I was just...
Bye, Maashe.
Chinnu...
Maashe...
Where are you going?
Doctor asked me to drop him home.
Is it? Where is his house?
He said it's near Tirur.
I'll also come.
- I'll also come. - To Tirur?
Won't it be trouble for you?
No. I took half day leave anyway.
- Is it? - Yes.
Good. I'll have company then.
Get in, Maashe.
The hospital bill...
- The X-Ray and Scanning bills, right? - Yes.
Okay, Maashe.
(Driving 2-wheeler without wearing helmet is a punishable offence)
Could you sleep well yesterday, Maashe?
That's okay. A break once in a while...
That's fine.
Hey!
Does he know the way?
He said he knows it if he goes by bus.
Then we could have gone in a bus, right?
But he was particular that we should go in a car.
Is it?
Thanks, Maashe.
They don't have bun here.
No bun?
We've reached the bus stop.
To the right...
- Is this the road? - Yes. I know it.
To the right.
Just go straight from here.
Stop! Stop!
I'll get down here.
Isn't that Hamsa?
How come he's coming in a car?
Hey! I just had a wish to come in a car and get down at this market.
That has happened.
The way to my house...
I know that. I'll go. Thanks.
Maashe, shall I ask you something?
Was I the first girl you met as part of match-making?
How come you asked me that?
Nothing...
Just curious...
I met 2-3 girls after my job became permanent.
None of them worked out.
How come you got late, Chinnu?
I am only 25 years old.
- You're only 25? - Yes.
Don't I look 25?
Don't mind what happened that day.
No, Maashe.
That was the first time I wore a wig.
It landed up with me, due to a special circumstance.
And once that wig came off, I couldn't stand there. That's why I ran away.
It's okay, Maashe. I knew from the first glance itself, that it was a wig.
Really?
(Driving 4-wheeler without wearing seat belt is a punishable offence)
This is my house.
- Aren't you coming in? - No. I'll come some other time.
- I'm already late. - Okay.
Maashe!
Just a minute.
I forgot to pay the money for the bills.
Hey! Money is not an issue.
- You can pay it later. - I have it with me now.
- Just tell me how much it is. - Money....
I haven't calculated.
How much is with me?
This is 10,000 Rupees.
10,000 Rupees?
Rs. 650 is extra.
Didn't you say that you didn't calculate?
Well...
I had a general idea about it...
It's all right.
Buy a cake for me.
There's a place I know. We'll go there.
- Bye, Maashe. - Bye.
Bye.
Chetta, let's go.
Do you come here regularly?
I was a regular visitor here.
I love the cake here.
It's been a while since I came here now.
What happened?
I had an affair earlier.
We broke up.
Me and Rajesh... His name is Rajesh.
We were together since high school.
Later on, Rajesh started to have a doubt...
... whether I have grown much more than him!
That's not a small doubt, right?
We were sitting here after ordering a cake, as usual.
I lost my mood when he started talking.
He wanted to go to the US, and settle down there.
He also wanted to avoid me smoothly.
Then?
Then what? I got the cake packed.
Isn't it bad to sit here and eat it after that?
Do you have such stories, Maashe?
Did you like the cake, Maashe?
- The cake was good. - Was it?
I forgot to say it.
Then let's go there again. You can try the other items there.
Then let's go next second Saturday. I'll be totally free then.
I'll be in Kochi, the coming second Saturday.
A small volunteering work at the Biennale.
Have you been to the Biennale?
(Driving 2-wheeler without wearing helmet is a punishable offence)
- We have our centre at Kalady, right? - Yes.
I've gone to Lulu Mall, from there.
Lulu Mall is an awesome place.
- Haven't you been there? - Yes.
Do one thing. Come for the Biennale this time.
I'll be with my friends there, for 3-4 days.
So you can see Kochi, and the Biennale also, along with it.
Biennale is like...
Would I understand anything?
- Do one thing. Try coming. - Okay.
That's my brother.
- Which one? - That one.
- Where? - He saw us.
What's wrong if he sees us?
Nothing. He'll go home and say all sorts of nonsense.
Then let's tell him ourselves.
What will we say?
- Sit there, Maashe. - Chinnu, No.
- Wait, Maashe. The pink tee, right? - No, Chinnu.
- Pink one, right? - Yes.
- Hi Kamal. - Hi
- You are Sreeni's brother, right? - Yes.
- I am Chinnu. - Okay
- Sreeni's friend. - Hello.
We are friends.
Okay then. See you!
"When I see you, the time pauses."
"Distances are getting covered fast."
"Continuously...with each look..."
"We slowly start exploring the woods."
"One word was followed by another."
"Soon we ran out of all playful words."
"We said without speaking."
"We understood each other without hearing."
What do you feel seeing all this, Maashe?
The floods.
That much I can understand.
- All of us went through it, right? - True.
"To shower in us, are lot of clouds..."
"To share with each other, are a lot of worlds..."
"When the shade which you and the sunshine mixed together to make pours newly..."
"My heart's walls are being painted by colors and various pictures."
Why don't you drink tea, Maashe?
I never used to drink it.
Milk is better for health.
- Is it? - Yes.
"When the shade which you and the sunshine mixed together to make pours newly..."
"My heart's walls are being painted by colors and various pictures."
"One word was followed by another."
"Soon we ran out of all playful words."
"We said without speaking."
"We understood each other without hearing."
There are photos of so many people, right?
Different communities, people who speak different languages.
Yes.
Shall we click a photo?
- Should we? - Yes.
Selfie?
This is the house of the character Bilal from 'Big B' movie.
I still remember him coming from there in slow motion, and beating up everyone.
"When it is time to return, filling in us..."
"...are so many silences which can be given away freely."
Sreeni, this is the girl Ravi told us about, right?
When I went to Kalady... I haven't seen the Biennale, right?
Biennale at Kalady?
No. When I went to the centre at Kalady, I went to see the Biennale from there.
When I went there, this girl was there.
We clicked a photo.
We are friends.
Very nice, right?
- Good morning, sir. - Good morning.
How was the Biennale, sir?
It was very nice.
Some of us are going there next Sunday.
Go ahead.
How did you know this?
From Facebook.
Good morning, sir.
Maashe, you went for the Biennale, huh?
Can't you tell us also when you go?
Well, it wasn't a planned trip.
You're getting so many likes on FB. Who was that girl with you?
- She's a friend. - Don't fumble. Go ahead!
Good morning.
Morning!
'Elephant & Mahout Will the egg break?'
'Fatso with Baldy'
- Hello, Maashe! - Chinnu, Good morning.
Good morning!
Are you on leave today?
I am at the campus only. I called to tell you something.
You must be missing the Biennale, right?
- That photo we uploaded yesterday? - Yes.
Some comments have come up below that now.
Is it?
I was really busy here today.
So I haven't been able to check.
It's not that, Chinnu...
People have posted some really distasteful comments.
Is it?
I don't understand.
What distasteful comments, Maashe?
About your...
About your weight and about my... About me and so on...
There are many really bad comments.
I think the students in my campus have seen it.
Maashe, we go through this regularly on FB, right?
Even when some people laugh, it is to mock others.
We should ignore it.
It's not that, Chinnu. Since I am a college professor...
There's a slight...
Is there any problem if we delete that photo?
Should we delete that photo, Maashe?
Do we have to find a solution for other people's ignorance?
There won't be any other problem, right?
What problem, Maashe?
When they get fed up, they will stop it and leave.
- Okay then. - Okay, Maashe.
Okay!

(More abusive comments follow)
Hello!
The photo on FB has become a big problem.
Didn't you see it?
This is not the first time, right?
This is not like earlier.
They are mocking too much.
They are mocking your friend too. I'm getting angry.
You don't have to get angry. I'll do the needful.
Hang up.
(Abusive comments continue)
Sir, don't be disheartened.
Don't worry at all. All of us are with you.
We won't spare a single one who commented against you.
All their walls would be full of abuses from today.
That's for sure, sir.
You should tell this to Chinnu Chechi too, sir.
(More abusive comments)
This is going out of control.
We should solve it immediately.
Things spread on social media faster than cancer.
Ask her to delete it, Maashe.
That's better.
This protest that the students here are doing for you, on Facebook?
They have split into groups and are abusing each other.
What can I do, sir?
It has affected this campus, just like it has affected you.
Just do one thing.
That girl is close to you, right?
Ask her to delete it.
- Hello, Maashe? - Hello...
Maashe, my phone is running out of charge. I'm on my way there.
No! No! I called to say an urgent matter.
That photo we uploaded? You will have to delete it.
Maashe, my phone will get switched off now.
No! No!
It has become a huge problem in the college.
Delete i... Hello?
'The number you're dialling is switched off. Please call later.'
Chechi...
- I'll come now. - What happened?
I need to make an urgent call. We'll talk after that.
- Hello. - Hello, Maashe?
Chinnu, I called you so many times. Why didn't you pick up?
My phone got switched off, Maashe.
I had asked you to delete that photo. Why haven't you deleted it, Chinnu?
Maashe, we had decided that we're not doing it, right?
Well, didn't you advise me that we shouldn't react to them?
And what did you do? You added fuel to the fire.
Now it's become worse!
When I said we needn't react,
I didn't mean that we should forgive those who insult us.
I meant that we needn't react by deleting the photo.
I don't want to talk any further.
You should delete that photo. That's all.
Maashe, where are we escaping to?
Won't it be like we deleted it, because we got scared of them?
I don't want to live, being scared of anyone!
I'm not saying that you should live like that.
But my life is also involved in this.
I am a college professor.
I face around 100 students daily.
You just posted some photo and...
- Maashe.. - Doesn't my life have any importance?
I have certain rules and conditions in my life.
Why don't you respect that?
Maashe, I respect all that.
But if we get scared of them,
that would only be an encouragement for them. That's all I meant.
I don't want to talk any further.
I am also part of that Facebook photo.
You should consider my choice as well.
So I'm saying that you should delete that photo.
I'm not arguing any further.
That's all! There's no relationship between us beyond that.
Okay.
Chetta...
Chinnu has done a Live video on FB.
I've sent you the link.
Won't there be fat people in all your houses?
I don't understand why others should have a problem with my weight, when I don't.
This space that I occupy...
How is it troubling you?
An evening with a friend of mine...
We talked and laughed a lot.
A photo that we took in between all that.
It was only a second of our happiness.
I don't understand how it troubles you!
Even people who I meet for the first time in my life,
ask me to have lemon syrup mixed with honey, and battered ash gourd.
But I don't like Ash Gourd. I like Falooda.
Everyone knows that we can lose weight if we exercise.
I am happy with my life.
I don't have any problem with my weight.
So, I don't have any complaints about it.
All these jokes of yours are all very stale for me.
But you have even distanced people who stood with me.
Because of me...
Because of me, none of them...
Because of me, none of them should have a problem...
That's the only reason...
why I deleted that photo.
See you.
'10000K likes for our Master!'
Don't say anything.
In this night of nights,
I have resurrected, burning in the oil of darkness from the grave, like the deity,
... not to listen to the meaningless chatter of you people,
who waste even the mornings by gossiping.
How is it, Maashe?
It's very nice.
I'm eating all this for the first time.
Relieved now?
She was really tensed.
Which college did you study in?
At Ponnani MES.
I asked her to continue her studies, but she didn't go.
I've heard all the stories from Rahim.
Aren't you eating?
It wouldn't be time for her yet. She will eat later.
You're not talking anything, because you're seeing me for the first time, is it?
She won't talk, Maashe.
I talk on her behalf.
She cannot speak.
Have it, Maashe.
But I have seen you talking to her on the phone regularly...
I know what she wants to talk or ask.
So I just have to keep replying.
She would listen.
And I'm not thinking that she cannot speak, Maashe.
And if we think about what people would say,
we would have time only for that.
Ameera is calling me.
Tea.
Seems like you didn't sleep at all last night?
No
You have no clue, right?
I'm wondering what I can do now.
(Liquor consumption/smoking is injurious to health)
Let me think about it.
Say this and go.
Bro, I need to go urgently.
This is even more urgent.
Whom else can I say this to, apart from you?
Sit here.
Sit here, please.
Tell me, bro.
I'm feeling really guilty.
When I should have stood by her, I behaved like a total stranger to her.
I should have stood by her.
Try calling her.
I don't think she would pick up.
I said all sorts of nonsense that day to her.
Would there by any other way?
There's no other way, bro.
Meet her in person. Apologize.
If you want to stand by her, fall at her feet.
That's all.
Try to meet her in person, somehow.
Kamal!
(Driving 2-wheeler without wearing helmet is a punishable offence)
- Hello, Maashe. - Hi.
You got your hair chopped off?
I didn't just chop it off.
I donated it.
Why? You didn't like it?
Sheesh! What's the big deal with hair?
What?
Well, there's no big deal in having lots of hair!
You look prettier now, with lesser hair.
- Is it? - Yes.
You too.
You look really beautiful now.
- Are you busy here? - No.
I'm done.
How did you come?
I saw your Instagram story.
- Mine? - Yes.
I got scared for a moment.
I would have come even if I hadn't seen the story.
I saw that cake shop we went to, on the way.
- It's close-by. - Yes.
I thought...
we'll meet at the cake shop.
And the cake shop is a place to say sorry, right?
Why should you say sorry in the cake shop?
We should be eating cakes there!
Still...
Don't keep any of this in your mind, Chinnu.
It's all right, Maashe.
We're all humans, right?
Didn't I say earlier?
You look really beautiful.
You weren't so beautiful when you had hair.
Now you look really beautiful.
