Very little water for me.
I know you don't want water.
Enough! Enough!
Careful, don't burn your throat.
Here, drink some water.
We should have got something to eat.
Anything at all?
Nothing. Suni said he'll bring.
Listen, I have to tell you one thing.
What is it?
Forget about Varsha.
What?
Why would you say such a thing?
If I call her at this hour, she will come with me
and you want me to dump her?
I am not asking you to dump her.
So what are you saying then?
I didn't mean it like that...
Typical you, always making a mountain out of a molehill.
I'm making a big deal?
It's no use talking to you.
You're talking nonsense!
-See, this is your problem... -Police, Police!
Come here.
This is our Jojo sir.
Come here.
Sir...
This light and music, kinda feels like a discotheque.
Don't we need some entertainment too?
What are you two doing here?
We're on our way back from the temple.
We had a stick dance performance.
You and stick dance?
He himself is the stick sir.
Is that a thief in the back?
[Police Constable] What did you say?
Oops, I didn't recognise you without the hat sir.
[Police Constable] Do you now?
Don't loiter around here.
This is not a good hour.
We'll leave as soon as Suni comes.
Who is Suni?
Kodoth Suni.
Something fishy going on here... What did you drink?
Hmmm... JD.
Who came from the Gulf?
Not that JD... Jawan Deluxe.
Oh, the local JD.
Do you know a Vijayan's house?
Who sir?
Vijayan. He was in the Gulf I think.
You mean, 'Kuwait Vijayan?'
If you go straight, you will come to four roads.
Take the left and go further up.
Isn't there a temple nearby?
-Shiva temple. -Yes.
Once you find the temple arch, the house is close by.
So I have to take a left?
Yes, just about 50 meters from there.
The jeep will comfortably go till the house.
In fact, why don't I come along?
Oh, no!
Let him come.
What if Suni comes?
You come home with Suni.
Your home?
Not mine. My wife is there! You go to your home.
I'll come there. There's a reason I have to go with them now.
-Get in quickly. -Yes sir.
You go now.
-Don't loiter around too much. -No, no...
In fact, why don't you come too?
No, I'll come with Suni.
Let's go.
What is this crazy man doing!
Hello...
Suni, where are you?
Can you come quickly?
Police? They were just on patrol.
For no reason.
They just left. Come quick.
Are you here already?
Where have you been Suni?
I lost my buzz as soon as I saw the police.
Where is Vinod?
The police took him away.
What about the stuff?
The stuff is here.
-Police took him away? -That's okay as long as the stuff is here.
-Stuff is here. -Then let's begin.
It's not safe here, let's go to the 'Theyyam'.
Yeah, let's go. This place is not safe.
One moment. Let me take a piss.
You get the stuff.
Did you buy any snacks?
Did you?
-Did you buy the snacks? -Yes, yes. We did.
I was thinking...
I think I'll have a quick drink.
Guys! Guys!
Bring the torch!
What's the matter?
Get me the torch on your mobile.
Did you see a snake?
What?
Come quickly.
-Get the mobile. -Here.
Look!
What is it?
Oh!
Suni!
[infomercial channel on TV]
[Lalitha] Listen...
A 10-piece plate set with spoons, two containers and two big casseroles...
All for only Rs.599...
And if you give them a missed call now, you'll get a bed sheet for free.
[Mary] So, did you give them a missed call?
[Lalitha] I've been giving them missed calls...
-[Sharada] Lalitha, I've kept the milk there. -[Lalitha] Sure.
[Lalitha] I've been giving them missed calls...
But what's the use, it's not like Vijayan will let me buy anyway.
He'll say, "why do you need a 10-piece plate set for a dining table that seats 6?"
Can you get the Copra from over there?
Vijayan...
Yes...
Where to this early in the morning?
I am going into town.
We were just talking about you.
Your wife was complaining you don't allow her to buy any utensils.
There are enough utensils here.
Still...
Why does she need a 10-piece plate set for a dining table that seats 6?
All I have is decade-old plates and some glass tumblers gifted for our wedding!
What did you say?
I am only saying we don't have good utensils to serve on when guests come home.
Look what the mother and the children made me buy...
...and now what they're using it for?
Why do you need more plates, to use them as pillows?
-Why did you have to interfere? -My family is hell-bent on making me bankrupt.
I didn't mean any harm.
But I still have to listen to his rants.
Forget that, how about we visit the temple this evening?
I can't.
There is going to be an orchestra there.
Vijayan doesn't like all that...
Let's just go and see. There are going to be singers from cinema.
I'll try asking him.
You do that.
Why is he running now?
Vijayan...
Who is looking for my husband?
It's me sister, Baby.
What's the matter Baby?
It's the 25th today.
What's on the 25th?
Well, it's the date of my interest payment.
So you collect your interest from homes now?
Have I borrowed money from you?
Not you, your husband did.
If my husband has borrowed from you, he will return it.
You don't have to come to my house for that. Go on now.
Please inform Vijayan.
Go on now.
Got it?
Yes... Yes... More than what I came for!
Nonsense.
You did well. He deserved it.
As if we are running away with his money!
You scared him.
Saw how he fled?
It's quite sunny outside, I thought I could dry some coconuts.
I thought you are performing a drama.
What?
You scared him.
Which one?
'Fuel to the Fire'.
Fuel to the fire...
Sounds like a substandard one.
The children are here.
Father...
In this hour on a scooter?
There he goes again.
We had planned to take a bus.
Why couldn't you come in a car? I would have paid.
They will be here now. I'll go and get a few things.
There is nothing here.
Oh, Mangoes?
Shall I make you some tea?
I'll park my scooter and come.
Here, let me take your bag.
It's been two years since we got married.
When is father going to speak to my husband?
Forget speaking.
Can he at least not smile?
How many times can I repeat myself?
Whenever we discuss, your father brings up Sreenath's name.
For him, there's no one greater than Sreenath.
Give me the ladle.
He may not be a bank manager,
but my husband is a government employee at least.
Is that the only issue?
Don't talk big.
Didn't you try to kill yourself, which is why your father agreed to your marriage?
Your father didn't want to hurt you.
Why are you still living in the past?
If this is how it's going to be I won't visit you anymore.
It's because my husband has a good heart,
he comes running here.
We have another option.
But can you put his photo on the banner?
Put it in some corner and I'll arrange the funds.
Great. I'll come by the office in a while.
Get a photographer ready.
Haven't they let you inside the house yet?
How are things?
Going good.
You're still in the TT Bus, right?
Not anymore. It's been two months since I moved to AC Bus.
Great. So now you can make a living without breaking a sweat.
You are mistaken. Every job has its challenges.
If I want easy money, I should join politics like you.
What kind of talk is that?
For example, our party has only six members.
So in a meeting, the responsibility of welcoming as well as thanking speech lies on me.
Is that not hard work?
Auckarcha...
Will you have some tea?
Make it a sweet one.
Sure.
Has Jasu left for Coimbatore?
The fees is paid. She will leave next week.
There she is...
Santhosh.
What took you so long?
She must have been praying hard that the boy likes her.
Right?
So right!
How is your job now?
It's cool.
Why wouldn't it be? He works inside an AC bus now.
Soon, she can also be full time in AC...
...now that she is going to Sharjah.
Won't I have to get married first for that?
Felt embarrassed dear?
[Auckarcha] I was sure she would get a good boy.
[Santhosh] Are you trying to insult me?
Not at all!
What's up?
What can happen? Let's wait and watch.
Why are you making it sound like a school exam?
You seem to be more anxious than me.
Let's pull this off exactly like last time.
Dear...
Suja...
Listen, I'll call you later.
Why are you looking dull?
Did you meet father?
Yes.
Did he speak to Santhosh?
Not a chance. They're like chalk and cheese.
What are you going to wear?
I have no idea.
Why don't you wear mother's traditional sari? It'll look good on you.
Sari... That's the last thing on my mind right now.
Listen...
Do you have his picture?
I don't.
I just want to take a look.
Do I look like I care?
And you're asking for the photo!
Why didn't you talk to father then?
We could have avoided this whole thing.
I did. And you can see the result of that.
Did father raise his hands on you?
He didn't.
A piece of glass cut my head when he smashed it on the floor.
Just because you had your way, he's hell bent on getting me married his way.
I just want to jump into a well and die.
Suja, you are employed, right?
What?
I meant, are you working?
Yes.
You will have to learn some Arabic then...
Why is that? Do you all speak Arabic at home?
No no... If you know Arabic it'll be easier to find a job in Dubai. That's why...
You aren't the most talkative, right?
What happened to your forehead?
What?
Forehead.
I popped a pimple.
Whose pimple?
Can I ask you my next question?
Do you believe in God?
Yes.
I often visit the temple.
Me too.
Is it?
In fact, I visited the temple this morning.
Next year, I want to visit Sabarimala.
That's a whole lot...
Do all of you wear nighties here?
Yes. But father wears it only at night.
You're trolling me, aren't you?
Don't you like nighties?
No.
My mom used to wear it.
I asked her to stop wearing it.
Women have even started wearing nighties into town.
Women look best in a sari, don't they?
What do you think, Suja?
What were the other questions?
Beauty expectations, work, beliefs, bodily deformities...
Nightie.
You could add nightie to that list.
Suja, your sense of humour... That's what I like the most.
[Uncle] Son, we need to leave soon.
That's it then...
I'll leave now.
Bloody uncle, he had to interrupt!
The land behind the temple in Nileshwaram used to be theirs.
They sold it.
Now they have about 20 cents left.
Not twenty. Twenty-five.
This 'Murukku' is delicious. Is it from Jolly Bakery?
No, we made it at our Chaitanya Women's Community Network, Kolavayal.
But it's tasteless once it gets cold.
Alright then.
See you again.
-[Uncle] Why do you want to see them again? -[Broker] Not that way...
I will visit you soon.
To discuss about the party fund.
Sure.
Who is this?
He is the youngest.
Is he the one in the hostel?
I had asked him to come home for the ceremony.
Why are you late?
The traffic was bad.
Nonsense.
You should have left a little earlier dear, especially for a day like today.
Wait. At least say hello to the groom.
Kantha...
This is Suja's brother.
Hi!
It's not a good omen to return once we have said our goodbyes.
Please don't mind.
See you then.
He seems to be very well mannered.
Yes, he is.
They are a good family.
You can sense it.
Did he mention he will call?
Of course.
Apparently, he bought the car in this trip.
Runs on petrol so should be low on maintenance.
Oh lord, will we have to push it now?
Damn, what happened?
Vijayan...
Yes.
We like the girl.
But there is a problem.
The Engagement is on Monday.
Hello, can you hear me?
The engagement is on Monday.
The groom has to return to work on Wednesday.
So they suggested we keep it on Monday.
I can't leave the house for two days.
My sister's engagement is on Monday.
I've applied for leave for two days mother.
You get here by Monday morning.
The groom is working in the Gulf.
In Sharjah.
He's getting a little thin on top...
...but he's quite handsome.
He's taller than my husband...
...but the complexion is okay okay...
May be because he works in the desert.
He's on his vacation now, so he came to see my daughter.
No.
Lalitha is extremely thrilled.
In that case why don't you ask him to come here?
We could use his help.
If you come, it's only going to add to my distress.
Not a big ceremony.
But not a small one either.
We'll organise whatever we can in two days.
Yes, yes.
Nimisha, nothing is going as planned.
I have no idea what to do.
How can I not panic?
That's easy for you to say. It's my engagement which is in two days.
[Vijayan] I want a strong pavilion that won't sway in the wind.
Can you come here tomorrow?
[Santhosh] Not the day after, you must come tomorrow itself!
Ok, try and come here tomorrow then...
-[Santhosh] You must come tomorrow. -[Vijayan] That should do.
And do everything as required.
We want food for 100 people.
Yes. For 100 people.
Chairs? I want 150 chairs.
Sorry, make that for 150 people. Not 100.
I am thinking of giving this sari to Sharada.
Really?
Yes. It's quite old.
Where have you been?
I was talking to Nimisha.
Look at the number of saris!
Even the price tags are intact.
Quiet! Father will hear you.
Won't this look good on her?
How about this one for your engagement?
-Okay, right? -Yes.
If you don't want, I'll take it.
No, let her take it, give it here.
Can I take both? One I'll wear for the engagement.
I'll take the leftover if any.
Doesn't this colour look good on me?
Come, let's have dinner.
I am taking this one.
Ok, now come for dinner.
In a moment, mother.
Why do you need two saris for the engagement?
[Surabhi] How cruel! Am I not your daughter too?
[Vijayan] She is right here. Lalitha...
[Lalitha] Who's on the phone?
[Vijayan] Your brother.
[Lalitha] Brother... Hello...
Manisha, don't you wear earrings?
When? During Onam celebration at college?
And how come I didn't notice?
Will you send me your photo with earrings?
Why do you annoy me so much?
Don't you know why I am here?
You have issues all the time.
How many times have I told you...
Let me finish...
How many times do I have to repeat myself?
In that case, you can disconnect the call...
Then go to Somalia or South Africa or wherever the hell you want to.
My dear Manisha...
Who is your Manisha?
Not Manisha, it's Manish...
A friend from college.
Come, let's have dinner.
You carry on, I'll come in a while.
Come on.
I said I will.
Santhosh, You're still outside?
Hopefully they'll let me in.
Auckar...
I met Binu from the Electricity Board.
He said you can put as many lights as you want.
Is it?
Why pay unnecessarily for a generator?
I don't want that many lights.
Here, there, and some more on the other side.
I could have saved on a few if we had enough streetlights.
Let our party come to power.
You can have as many streetlights as you want.
As if your party is the answer to all problems!
All political parties are same.
How can you say that?
Why not?
You seem to have forgotten those midnight marches with a flag in your hand.
That was in the past.
When you were being a frog in a well here,
I went out into the world and gained some knowledge.
Don't you believe me?
Look at Kuwait.
As if I can see Kuwait from here.
Kuwait is progressive.
It has a King who understands his people.
When the King draws a line,
no one dares to step out of it.
That is not the right way to look at it.
That means the King is a dictator and can do whatever he wishes?
People here are sensible. This is a democratic country.
This country cannot be ruled by a King.
It can be. Why not?
I am not going to argue with you.
Have dinner and leave.
I don't want your 'Kuwait dinner'.
Are you upset?
No no. I have a meeting.
You mean this.
No. I have to be at the festivities.
What about the workers?
Two strong men will be here in the morning.
Okay then.
Who?
I am not coming for the orchestra.
Hold on.
Okay, go on now.
You mean on the wall?
Be careful. There may be snakes around.
I am coming. Wait for me.
What is it dear?
May I say something?
I don't want this marriage proposal.
Every girl gets nervous about her marriage. Don't worry too much.
It's not like that. I have given it a lot of thought.
What nonsense?
I have thought through...
I make decisions in this house.
If you too have feelings for some imbecile...
...you better forget about it.
Hari...
What are you doing man?
Get up!
You seem very drunk.
On our way back from Madikeri, we had three full bottles.
I am so drunk I can barely feel my body.
Who did you go with?
I was there, so was Rajesh, Ratheesh, Suni, Rony...
That's a lot of you.
In fact, having just Rajesh would have been enough.
Ratheesh lost his phone in the water.
Where?
There...
Rajesh jumped into the water to get it.
Did he find the phone?
Yes.
But we couldn't find Rajesh.
What?
But somehow Rajesh managed to catch hold of a rock.
The locals came, the fire-force came, and the police came.
Somehow they managed to pull him out.
Rajesh was so frightened, he was shaking like a leaf.
Just thinking about it is giving me chills.
Listen, can you...
Don't be so formal. Get a glass...
It's not that...
Can you lend me some money?
Money? In fact, I wanted to borrow some from you.
Fine. I'll leave then.
Wait. What do you need the money for?
I have to clear some fines at the college.
And I have no money at all.
Is it urgent?
Very.
Money can be arranged.
Sujith...
There, your mother is calling you.
Okay then...
Go right home. We will meet up tomorrow.
You hear me?
Sure. See you soon.
Didn't I tell you to be careful?
[Hari] Don't worry, not dead yet...
Should I drop you home?
[Hari] Don't worry!
Sure? Okay then...
The food tastes very good.
What a surprise! You have never said it before.
That's because this doesn't taste like everyday. This tastes special.
Have you not made bitter gourd?
No.
Why?
Because no one else likes it.
What? Don't you eat?
It's different when we are the only ones eating.
Don't you like?
Yes, I do.
What about you?
I don't like it.
And you?
What?
Bitter gourd.
I don't eat it.
Well, you used to eat it.
Nowadays children don't know the difference between the good and the bad.
We must guide them.
The cardboard piece...
Who bloody removed it?
Surabhi...
Are you not asleep yet?
Are you listening to me?
Suja does not seem too thrilled about the proposal.
Hear me out.
Did you feel the same?
I suggest you try and make her understand.
Ask her not to hurt your parents.
Had you been so thoughtful then,
I would have married that bank manager and lived happily ever after.
Ambu...
Yes Vijayan.
What are you doing this early?
Nothing. I am just here.
Aren't we going to the festivities?
A glass seems missing.
Your father dropped it.
Dropped it or smashed it?
Will Nimisha and Gauri come?
Nimisha might come.
Vimala Aunt and others will be here this evening.
Are they going to be here so early?
Mother, don't get into arguments with them.
Sister, 'your guy' will also probably be there.
Is Shobha Aunt coming?
I have invited her.
Lalitha, some hot water please.
I'll be right there.
Let me give it to him.
Here is your hot water, father.
Why did you take the trouble? Isn't Suja there?
That is okay, father.
What okay?
Is this space enough for cooking?
Isn't it enough? I think it is.
Vijayan...
Santhosh...
Swami...
I looked for you in front of the house.
I was clearing this up.
By evening if you can get these items ready...
This is a long list.
I can give you a shorter list if it's only rice and curry.
I am in a hurry.
Are you into town?
Yes.
I am coming with you. Drop me there.
Swami, what about firewood?
Haven't you arranged for firewood yet?
There is firewood on the other side. Bring him an axe.
Can I bring you some porridge?
Give it to your father.
What are you doing up there?
My father is around, get down.
Don't you need money?
Do money grow on trees?
There's no network down there.
Who do you want to call?
Remember Amal who went to school with us?
Hmm... Amal Shankar?
Not him. I am talking about Amal Baby.
Loan shark Baby's son.
Oh, that dimwit?
He is no longer a dimwit. He has turned over a new leaf.
And he's quite rich too.
Let me try giving him a call.
Lalitha...
The pavilion builders will be here. Don't forget to serve them lunch.
Where are you off to?
Swami has given me a list of items.
I'll purchase them and be back.
Why don't you eat before you go?
Swami is waiting for me. I'll be right back.
On your way back, get some milk.
I'll send it with one of the boys.
You are just like those boys.
You still don't know how to button your shirt.
What would I do without you...
Button up and get me the milk quickly.
Go now!
[Sujith] It's very irritating when you call so many times.
Instead of just wasting your time doing nothing...
...why can't you help around the house?
Let this get over, we need to have a talk.
Hi Uncle.
What is he, a walking statue?
Worse perhaps, ignore him.
Still here Ambu?
How can I go home?
My son doesn't have any work.
You know tomorrow is the engagement, right?
Of course.
Here... Have one last drink today.
From tomorrow, don't come here drunk.
I swear I won't drink. You have my word.
Isn't that what you say every time?
And perpetually end up here on all four legs.
Sit further away, the shards will fly.
Weren't you better off clearing grass?
You brought this on yourself.
Don't mock me now.
This Santhosh knows how to chop wood, not just issue bus tickets. You'll see...
I don't see any change in the shape or size of the wood.
[Workers] Vijayan...
I think the pavilion builders are here.
Let me check on them.
I'll be back soon.
They called my father, not you...
Aren't they going to unload things?
After tea may be.
Very well then.
Is this the time to come?
We must finish it before noon.
We can.
Sure? You came alone?
My cousin is here. Also, Auckarcha said he would bring two men.
They are here.
There they are...
Also, please set up the tarpaulin quickly.
Don't worry about it.
Okay.
Auckarcha...
Where's Vijayan?
He's gone out.
Oh shucks...
These are the two strong men I told him about.
Hello, Jagabandhu Patnaik.
Do you know them?
Yes, I do.
They are not like our men here.
Hard workers...
That's what we need.
[Santhosh] So, where do we start?
Auckarcha, why is that 'Kindi' hanging in the front?
Yours hang in the back or what?
What's so funny? Go go... get to work.
It's still unreachable.
I have sent WhatsApp messages.
It's not been seen yet.
Let me do one more thing. I'll call you after that.
Bro... Bro...
What is it?
When will this be done?
By evening I guess.
Won't it?
What a performance man!
Who are you, 'Fahadh Faasil'?
Remember in the movie, 'Maheshinte Prathikaaram',
the scene where Mahesh's girlfriend's father invites him for her wedding,
you should see his performance in that scene.
Incredible!
And you've topped that performance.
If only you had acted in that movie...
The film would have reached another level...
What do you think you are doing?
Are you blind? I am working...
But why are you angry with me?
I am not angry at you.
I am angry at myself.
She had warned me that there's no point in chasing her,
and I should speak to her father instead.
But I was only thinking about my brother then.
Don't be under the false hope that you will get married,
once your elder brother is settled.
Shouldn't my parents think the same?
They are too cruel.
It's okay. Forget it now.
Let's do the work properly and be happy in our own way.
Smile. Be happy my friend.
Slow down.
Now smile.
Let's see your teeth.
Smile bigger brother.
Bro...
Suja...
Help her out Bro..
Something's wrong.
What's wrong?
Didn't you feel anything looking at her face?
I did.
What?
Why should I tell you that?
What nonsense!
Something wrong.
Nothing is wrong.
You've gone mad.
Uncle...
Santhosh, you are here already?
I came in yesterday.
So you must have seen the groom.
How is he?
Great. He has more glamour than me.
Uncle...
Hello dear.
Brother, I thought you weren't coming.
How can I not come?
Where's Suja?
She has gone to get her blouse fixed.
And the artist boy?
Where is he?
He must be in his room.
Brother-in-law, you just arrived?
Just now.
Father, how come you're back so early?
What about the purchases?
That will arrive only by afternoon.
Also, there's no one here to supervise.
Santhosh is here.
Why you made that sound father?
Is he done with the firewood?
This is the problem.
Bring us some tea. Let's go inside brother-in-law.
Where's the milk?
Milk?
I asked you to bring milk on your way back.
Oh... The milk is sold out.
It must have come now. I'll go and bring.
Give him a black tea for now.
Father just forgot to get it.
What's to eat?
We have steamed rice cakes.
Rice cakes? That makes me happy!
Where are you going?
What about the rest of the firewood?
Go on now.
Damn the firewood.
Bro... Bro...
I still have a doubt.
About Suja?
Have no doubts.
Are you sure?
Yes. Didn't you notice her face?
Why did she walk away without a word?
Because you didn't speak to her father.
Didn't you say that's an excuse girls use when they are not interested?
If a girl cannot reject you on your face,
she will complain about you to her family.
That didn't happen in this case.
That didn't happen.
Still...
You still have a shot.
Brother, black tea.
I don't want your tea now. Go finish your work.
-What a time to drink tea! -Give me.
The tea is good.
Brother, come here.
Give it to me.
Go now. Do your work.
Ok boss.
Still... It's her engagement tomorrow.
It's only the engagement, not the wedding.
True.
It's only the engagement, not the wedding.
Isn't that what I said?
I am saying the same too.
It's only the engagement, not the wedding.
Here. Drink the rest.
My friend, isn't that exactly what I said?
Sure. I am also saying the same.
It's only the engagement, not the wedding.
Brother, do you know how to cut firewood?
What?
Like this, with an axe.
No, no. Only pavilion work.
What else do you know then?
Hi
Hi Santhosh...
Hi Ratheesh.
Vijayan asked me to give the milk here.
Are you on leave?
Yes, I took off from work.
What's happening here?
Haven't you heard?
I was away on a tour. Just arrived this morning.
Oh really?
It's Suja's engagement.
You're joking, right?
I am serious.
Tomorrow?
-Lalitha? -She's over there...
Yes, tomorrow.
The boy works in the Gulf. He has to return in two days.
Everything happened quickly.
Santhosh...
Come and have your breakfast.
Coming.
Go have your food. I'll see you later.
Come and eat with us. There's steamed rice cakes.
No, I just had porridge.
Porridge?
Can you do me a small favour?
I have chopped some firewood.
But there's some more. The axe is right there.
I have to go soon.
There is no one else to help me. I'll be back quickly.
Santhosh...
Coming now.
Will you, please?
Some more rice cakes?
Sure.
Give me some curry too.
Pour some more.
Enough.
Santhosh, sit down.
Don't you have classes?
How can he go to classes when his sister is getting engaged?
Isn't it so?
Why aren't you eating?
Give that also to uncle.
A little more curry dear.
Looks like you're stuffing yourself!
Rice cakes are my weakness.
Some more curry, dear.
Can I get some black tea?
Is there black tea, mother?
I'll make some now.
Finished so fast?
No. I've to collect it in the evening.
Can you bring those empty glasses from the yard?
Are you learning to count?
Suja... Suja...
Go and tell her now.
Let's tell her tomorrow after the engagement.
Go now!
Suja...
My situation wasn't as good then.
Also, I wasn't in the right frame of mind to talk to your father.
And now you are getting engaged...
Girish, why don't you mind your own business?
Suja...
I understand your worries.
I will always be with you.
Oh, I blew it...
Totally screwed this up!
Did you see her smile?
Who? Did she smile?
Of course! She looked at you and smiled.
She looked at me?
You think she looked at me?
She must have looked at me only.
Suja, give this tea to Santhosh.
Give a cup of tea to Ratheesh also.
He is at the back cutting firewood.
Suja...
(workers talking in Bengali)
Where the hell were you Ratheesh?
I was so tensed I even went to your house in the pretext of fixing my blouse.
And you weren't even home.
Suja, please listen to me.
No, you listen to me first.
I would have called you at least a 100 times.
Did you call me back even once to find out why?
My phone fell in the water.
I had told you I'll be away on a tour.
To hell with your tour.
Anyway, let's hope for the best. After all, it's only an engagement.
We'll find a solution before the wedding.
What solution?
Give me some time to think.
Why are you not taking this seriously Ratheesh?
This isn't as simple as you think.
Let's elope.
How can we just run away?
I don't have a penny with me.
Also, don't you know my mother is all alone?
What about your own family?
I don't want to think about it now.
Can you take me away, or not?
Let me warn you...
If that dimwit puts the ring on my finger,
I'll write your name and jump into the well.
I'm warning you.
In that case, why couldn't you tell him?
You could have avoided all this.
In that case, I wouldn't have to jump.
My father himself would have pushed me into the well.
I tried my best to make him dislike me.
But he is a real dimwit.
I even said I was planning to go to Sabarimala.
Lord Ayyappa, forgive me...
Listen...
I hit you because I was angry.
Find us a way out of this please.
We'll arrange the money somehow.
I can't live without you.
I am really scared.
But I won't ever let you go.
"How many sweet talks have we had"
"You hover around me like a bird, girl"
"Your love that fills me up"
"Doesn't need a ground"
"It flies like the wind"
"What is this magic?"
"The pavilion in the courtyard is dressed up like a beautiful bride"
Listen...
The curry isn't ready yet. Give us ten minutes.
Sure. Take your time.
Mother...
Please take your time.
I love the smell of sardines.
But who's preparing sardines here?
"You pretend to not see"
"We pretend to not talk"
"Those moments we cross each other's paths"
"We pretend to be strangers"
"When you are beside me there is spring in my heart"
"My heart feels like a see-saw"
"Our conversations are a sweet melody in my ears"
"Even the leaves sing a romantic tune"
"It is raining colours everywhere"
"The pavilion in the courtyard is dressed up like a beautiful bride"
Let me know when you're ready. We'll leave today itself.
Suja...
We will elope today itself love.
This Gireesh will take you.
Oh Jesus! Did you get all wet?
No worries sister.
Sometimes, situations make people do certain things.
Right mother?
This is nothing. I've been through a lot more than this.
Enough, enough.
Take out the mud.
Did you put...
Who dipped you in curry?
Not dipped, I'm going to drown.
Please forgive me.
Isn't this curry?
Don't worry son. We will make some more.
Thank you father.
Dig...
Dig more.
How's the work going?
It's going well. This is the last post to go in the front side.
Then at the back.
Very well. Finish it soon.
[Amal Baby] I will charge you interest if you are late even by a day.
[Sujith] Ten thousand is what I need.
Tomorrow is the engagement.
After that I'll go back to college. If you can arrange it by then...
I'll arrange it by then.
Okay, see you.
Amal, here is the key.
It has good pick up.
Of course. It's my vehicle after all.
Has it been serviced yet?
Not yet.
Who's that?
Why do you want to know?
Isn't he Baby's son?
So?
Is he here like his father now?
Nothing like that. He went to school with me.
So he came to see me.
You have lost weight, mother.
I'm the only one here to take care of things.
But you still look good.
Shut up.
Ratheesh...
Yes.
Are you leaving?
Yes.
Did you have lunch?
No.
Eat something and go.
No, mother is alone at home.
Father, your phone...
Khadercha...
Couldn't you tell me this in the morning?
Now I have to...
Hold on.
Are you heading to town now?
Yes.
Okay, I'll send it with someone.
Give this at Khadercha's shop.
Okay.
Let's go inside dear.
Khadercha...
Okay.
He asked me to send it with the delivery auto driver.
Won't you come early in the evening?
Okay. Come dear.
Brother...
Come here.
Come quickly.
That gunny sack...
Grab it.
And keep it on the other side.
Okay?
Okay.
Not bad...
Uncle.
Oh, it's you!
I didn't recognise you.
That's because you are getting old.
Mocking me?
Brother-in-law...
You have changed.
It's you who has changed. You didn't even recognise us.
Dear brother-in-law, every time I see her,
I hope that she would have changed a little for the better.
But in vain.
Why didn't you bring the children?
They have classes.
On a Sunday?
They have special classes. Will be here tomorrow.
Don't they have classes tomorrow?
That's regular classes.
Sreenath...
It's been ages since we have seen you.
He is a manager now so quite busy.
Why didn't your parents come?
Not everyone is like Sreenath.
I don't think they can forget the past.
Leave all that... Ignore her Aunt.
They have to come all the way from Thrissur.
Luckily I'm here in Kasaragod.
Let's go inside please.
Come in son. Vimala, come inside.
Did you come in a bus?
No. I came in my car.
I parked it a bit further not to block the way.
Sit down Mohanan. Let's have lunch.
That's okay. We just had lunch.
Exactly.
In that case, let the food in your stomach digest.
I am very hungry.
Take some bitter gourd.
I'll take it. Thank you.
Isn't it your favourite?
Serve him some dear.
This is too much Surabhi.
Serve me some bitter gourd too, dear.
Some more...
Why don't we eat too?
Vijayan dear...
Can you get two banana leaves? We don't have enough plates.
No need brother.
We'll eat after they finish.
Surabhi, why aren't you saying anything?
You guys are doing all the talking. I didn't want to interfere.
Come dear. Let's eat in the kitchen.
What are you doing here?
I can't find my camera in my room.
I wonder if father has kept it here.
Why are you here?
What?
Why are you here?
I was looking for father.
Father is in the living room.
Is it?
Yes.
I think mother kept your camera inside the cupboard.
Okay.
Why did Vijayan fix the engagement on a Monday?
Anything fixed on a Monday gets delayed.
Has he at least matched their horoscopes?
The groom's side did before coming here.
Still... Tuesday would have been better.
Suja has Mars in her birth chart so it can't be on a Tuesday.
What about Wednesday?
The groom goes back to the Gulf on Wednesday.
Right. It's a difficult situation.
Look who's here!
Shobha, you don't look as dynamic as before.
I am getting old Mohanan.
How are your studies dear?
Going well.
You are smoking like a chimney.
Hasn't Vimala come?
She is inside.
The utensils have come.
Please unload it quickly, I have another ride.
Do we have to unload it?
Haven't you brought anyone to unload?
Where do I bring help from?
Okay, why don't you unload it yourself?
Me?
Not you. Him.
Me? I can't do it. I have blood pressure and diabetes.
I can't carry weight on the steps.
Let's call Vijayan.
Oh God...
Brother-in-law... Santhosh...
Please come here.
What is it Uncle?
Help us here.
Why don't you go inside?
Shobha Aunt has brought some dessert.
Dessert? Which one?
Vermicelli.
Oh really?
Do you want some?
Sure.
No, no. Please don't trouble him.
He has pressure and diabetes. He can't climb steps.
You have pressure?
A little.
Have a little then...
Bagajandhu brother...
Don't give me excuses.
Everyone has problems.
It's only a matter of two days.
You go now, I'll return it to you.
You are already three days late, and you want two days more?
Only if get it from you, I can lend it to others.
I have nothing with me now.
I didn't get you.
I don't have both the principal and the interest amount.
Then at least give me the principal.
Baby, you go on now. I will definitely call you later.
You better call...
Even if you don't call, I'll come. It's my money after all.
Did you get it?
Keep shaking, we'll get it soon.
Vimala, you can wash them. The ash is here.
Ash?
I wash at home with Pril. It has the power of lemons.
If I wash with ash, my skin will burn.
I am too sensitive.
She had such thick hair.
It has started thinning after marriage.
Where does she have the time?
When she was here I used to take care of her hair.
Now she is alone there. Where does she have the time?
My niece also had the same problem.
Her hair started thinning.
But she is in her eighth month of pregnancy. Maybe that's why.
Whatever.
I had two pregnancies too.
Have I lost all my hair?
Today's generation is not like us.
They use all sorts of chemicals on their body.
Did you hear that?
Really? And who uses my 'Fair & Lovely'?
Shobha, have you started thinking about her marriage?
Yes, we have to plan soon.
Vinayan's absence has put all the responsibilities on me.
God calls all the good people early.
Looks like she will be around for a long time!
Won't your family help you?
We sisters are always unfortunate.
We get only the leftovers after the men have had their full.
Why bring up that topic here, Aunt?
I am only speaking the truth!
My phone battery's gonna die soon. Let's go inside.
My friend, be a little more energetic.
Do it properly.
Santhosh.
If we don't supervise them, they get lazy.
Move your leg.
Nowadays, we can't recognise a Bengali from a Malayali.
Santhosh, what's up?
How's your job?
Not bad.
The newspaper reports that your company is laying off people.
Will it affect you?
It will affect only those who take unnecessary holidays.
You must read the news in its entirety.
I don't have the time for it.
So...
I met Surabhi.
I mean, your expenses are increasing.
If you need any personal loan, don't hesitate to ask me.
Santhosh...
Okay then.
Tie it up properly.
What?
Nothing. Do your work.
What?
Where are you going?
I am running away.
What?
I am only joking.
My room is a mess.
I am just tidying it up.
Did you get scared?
No way!
What happened to your affair?
You broke up?
You could have tried mentioning it to your father.
It won't work out.
Are they still printing these?
What are you two doing?
We just...
Vijayan called us yesterday.
He has a very good opinion of the groom.
I am told he's good-looking too.
Vijayan has great expectations of you.
After Surabhi's issue, this is the first time I am seeing him smile.
What happened to your forehead?
I hit my head on the door.
Vijayan wants me to find a groom for her too.
Shut up mother!
Wow, Mohanlal!
Uncle...
Checking if someone has stolen your money?
There is not much to steal.
Have you taken care of tomorrow's expenses?
I will figure something out.
Tomorrow can't be a small affair.
The smallest details should be taken care.
Here...
No, no... I have enough with me.
Keep it with you.
You'll need money after the engagement.
Take this uncle.
I have enough, you keep it.
I understand uncle.
I am a nobody in this house.
Isn't that why you don't want my money?
Why are you thinking like that?
If I need money, I will ask you for it.
Who else will I ask?
One minute.
Yes, Rajesh.
No no... You have to come.
Surabhi...
Be careful!
You should be more cautious...
You can act like a saint in front of my parents.
But I know your true colours.
Surabhi, it's not like what you think.
I was just passing by your house...
Enough!
Don't I know you?
"I'm waiting outside the compound. Come soon. Ratheesh."
"My eternal flame"
"Is this the end of our bliss?"
"The day seems further away so does hope"
"Our dreams blur as faraway as the distant stars"
"My eternal flame"
Oh! But I haven't got my bag...
Vijayan dear, come quickly!
Surabhi, my child!
Come quickly please!
Nothing will happen... Bring the car, quick!
Don't stand like that. Go get the money.
Don't worry dear. Son, get the car quickly.
Move aside everyone.
Is this enough?
This will be enough. Stop crying now.
Keep this too.
Reverse the car.
Be careful, be careful.
Get in the car.
Open the door. Move aside everyone.
Here hold. Come in.
Surabhi, don't worry my dear.
Get in fast.
No, not you.
You stay here, I'll go.
Father, here is the money.
Move fast.
Santhosh doesn't have space in the car.
I'll go in my bike.
Don't waste time, move now.
Sister...
What is this Lalitha? How long will you sit like this?
Nothing will happen to her.
My niece had the same problem.
They have been gone for so long.
Everyone has a phone.
Has anyone called us till now?
Maybe they are busy in the hospital. You don't worry.
How can she not worry?
Two lives are in danger.
God! Guruvayurappa!
Why are you calling me?
I was checking if your phone has network.
[Suja] Okay. So there are no other problems, right?
I will inform them.
Mother, it was Ramya on the line.
Sister is fine now. Just that her blood pressure shot up.
I told you she will be fine.
When will they be here?
They are on their way.
Get up now. It's almost evening, go light the lamp.
"Come outside."
Let's go after sister returns.
What if I can't see them after this?
It's already late. We must go soon.
They will be here now. We'll leave as soon as they come.
I am just pretending to be brave.
I am really scared.
Why are you so scared?
Because you're my responsibility, that's why.
So?
Nothing.
The train is at 12.30am. Call me when you are ready.
It's going to be dark soon.
We can leave without anyone noticing.
See you.
Ambu, have some tea.
Tea at this hour? No, thanks.
Sister...
Won't Vijayan come?
Vijayan doesn't live here any more.
He doesn't?
Suja... Suja...
What happened?
About what?
Aren't we going?
What?!
I have brought my bag.
We missed our chance in the afternoon.
How's your sister? No problem, right?
No.
That's good.
So what's the plan? When are we leaving?
Aren't you busy with work now?
No, I am not busy at all.
Also, what's the use of tube or light in this house anymore?
So, when are we going?
Ok, listen.
Don't move from the front of the house until I ask you to.
Don't go anywhere.
Where will I go? I'll be right there.
Shall I leave?
What took you so long?
Go and lie down, dear.
Here, take this.
We reached till the temple quickly.
From there it took us half an hour.
The traffic was terrible.
Slowly...
Sit down...
Are you feeling tired?
No, not anymore.
What were you so tensed about for your pressure to go up?
Lalitha was very anxious.
Be quiet mother.
Your questions will only increase her pressure.
You be quiet.
Don't interfere when elders are talking.
One of you could have called from the hospital.
We were all panicking.
We didn't get a moment to spare.
The doctors took her in for a scanning.
We had no idea what to do.
Still, one of you could have informed me.
Don't stress, mother.
Surabhi...
How are you now?
Aunt, please don't hesitate to call me for any help.
Sure son.
We're fortunate he was around.
I didn't mean otherwise dear.
Where is Vimala Aunt?
She is watching TV.
She isn't bothered by any of this.
For her, the soap opera is all that matters.
Why are you quiet?
Come here.
Is it finished?
I was just getting into the mood.
You are right.
You could have brought an extra bottle.
I had to steal this from the house.
If you had told me earlier,
I would have brought dad's Chivas.
Why are you laughing?
Nothing man. Just...
Share the joke so we can laugh too.
Look at Amul Baby.
He has grown enough to say "Chivas".
The thought made me laugh.
That was in the past, Sujith dear.
In the past...
Who was the only boy who used to wear half pants in 10th grade?
Of course, our Amul baby.
So what?
I mean, so what if he did?
Stitching one pant is equal to stitching two half-pants.
It's called Baby's brilliance man.
You are correct man.
I can live in luxury now because my father lived in modesty then.
Don't talk too much.
Why are you taking it in the wrong sense?
It was just a joke.
What bloody joke?
You can blabber anything in the name of fun?
Cool down, man.
Does he have an ounce of respect?
The shameless fellow takes money from me and makes fun of me.
It's not free money, I pay a hefty interest on it.
Don't talk like that Sujith.
Let him talk. He is his father's son after all.
Your father begs my dad for money.
How dare you talk about my father?
You are your father's son. Exactly like him.
You delay the interest payments and I'll show you...
Leave me.
If you ever fail to pay the interest...
You pig!
I don't want your money.
Stop it! Let go of each other.
Leave him.
Takes my money and acts like this!
What madness is this?
Is there nobody to pull them apart?
Don't give me your excuses again.
Why can't you understand what I'm saying?
I spent all the money on this pavilion and other things.
I have too many expenses, Baby.
I did not come hear to listen to your grievances and expenses.
I need my money now.
How many days have I been running behind you?
There is no use of making noise and showing off.
Baby, if I had the money I would give it to you.
I will show off. This is my money.
I value my money. How long have I been running behind you?
When I come to your house your wife rebukes me.
You think I come here for her?
How dare you walk into my house and speak rubbish, you dog!
Give me my money first.
Leave me!
Oh my!
Give me my money and then talk.
I only have to give you this month's due.
Yes, so give me this month's. And then wag your tongue.
Leave my hand, you!
Give me this month's interest and then talk.
Stop it both of you!
Let go of each other.
Come on!
Your father and Baby uncle are fighting there.
Stop it now!
How dare you?
Give me my money first.
Why are you grabbing me? Move!
Don't make an issue now.
What's happening here now?
Am I dreaming?
There is a ceremony tomorrow in this house.
Don't make an issue now.
I'll give you your money as soon as the bank opens in the morning.
Who are you?!
I am his son-in-law.
Great! Do you have the money with you right now?
I said I'll give.
Give me time until the bank opens in the morning.
He begs me for my money and now he's barking at me!
Brother...
Pinch me.
How dare you? I won't give him money.
Please. Don't make an issue, calm down.
Listen to me.
What should I listen to?
Only this month's money is pending.
Yes this month's. How long has it been?
How much does he owe you?
He owes me twenty thousand.
Only twenty thousand right?
Here. Take your twenty.
You don't need to count. It's fifteen thousand.
Here, another five thousand.
Here.
Got what you needed, right?
Now quietly get out of here.
Understood?
Go on.
Move...
Come...
Whoa!
Is your father 'Jackie Chan'?
Why are you staring at me?
You borrow money from them only to abuse them?
I have returned the miser's money.
I don't want it.
Son, Sreenath.
This wasn't necessary.
A ceremony is going to take place tomorrow.
Why make an issue here?
Still...
This is nothing.
Just assume I did this on behalf of Santhosh.
For a moment there, you turned into the younger version of you.
You were so energetic...
That Baby... An unnecessary mess...
It's all sorted. Don't stress yourself.
Come, let's have a drink.
Come on! Let's down a couple...
"Come my little bride, let's dance for your wedding"
"I don't have beautiful earrings to grace my ears"
"Still my girl, come let's dance for your wedding"
"I don't have beautiful earrings to grace my ears"
"Still my girl, come let's dance for your wedding"
Suja... Suja...
Give me the bag. I'll take it from here.
I'll never forget this help Ratheesh.
Let's go.
Gireesh dear...
What is it dear?
I mean, people will suspect, if they see us together with a bag.
That's a problem. Isn't it Ratheesh?
Yes.
I have an idea.
You go and wait near the post office.
I'll come there with him.
That's a good idea. Right?
Hey, where are you going?
My clothes and bag are on the other side.
Leave it there. Let's buy some new clothes.
What if someone sees you? You go this way.
You are right. I can buy new clothes.
Anyway it's a new start.
Okay then.
I'll cross the pond and reach the post office.
That's a better route, right?
Yes.
Ratheesh...
What if we never meet each other again?
Keep this. Fill gas in your bike or something.
Why do you look so tensed?
Look at me... I am so cool.
Right Suja?
Okay, see you at the post office then.
"Who gave you the clothes?"
"My King gave me the clothes"
"Even if it tears or flies away, I'll stitch it for you"
"The music is not good enough"
"The pavilion is not good enough"
"The women who dance in our pavilion"
"Look at how we dance and frolic"
Vijayan...
Ambu!
Won't Abhi be around tomorrow?
No, he is sick.
He won't be there.
He has been unwell for 2 months now.
Swami...
Yes Vijayan...
You have made milk pudding, right?
Yes.
That's not enough.
We need lentil pudding. It's Suja's favourite.
Oh okay. I'll prepare both.
Also, we haven't paid for the transport. Around 1200 rupees.
Wait here. I'll get the money.
Yeah, sure.
I'll be back in a minute.
Ambu...
He is too drunk.
Yes.
How come you are singing?
You are sweeter than usual today.
Dear...
This whole thing reminds me of our engagement.
Don't ever remind me of that.
You went back to the Gulf the very next day after our engagement.
The next I see you is on our wedding, two years later.
In the scorching sun, these memories were like an oasis.
This land, this house,
and my Lalitha's sweet smile.
You're being too romantic. How much did you drink?
A little.
I have an excuse for drinking today.
Okay. I won't stop you.
Our eldest daughter's wedding was against my will.
Why are you bringing that up now?
Vijayan...
Swami is outside. I'll just be back.
Vijayan...
Yes, coming.
Where's the money?
It's in there.
Why the hell would I ask you if it's in here?
It's in there...
Where did you give me the money from?
From the same bag dear.
Who did you give the money to?
I didn't give it to anyone else except our son.
Where's the money?
Which money?
What money?
Where's the money?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Do you think I don't know why you came home?
Where's the money?
Why do I need your money?
Tell me where is it?
if you treat me this way, I'll leave home for good.
Where the hell is it?
You are always criticising me!
As if I am going to let you leave in peace!
You are going to stay here.
Now tell me where's the money.
I slog day and night for my family,
and you sit and sketch nude women,
and make fun of your father's belly!
Swami, let's go.
Wait. We'll soon find out if we're needed tomorrow or not.
There's no money there.
Where's the rest of the money?
Where's it?
I am asking you where's the rest of it?
Father!
What are you doing?!
You will not understand.
He skips college and roams around with the wrong crowd.
Where is it?
Yes, here it is...
This letter is from his college.
He has to pay a fine to attend classes.
Moreover, your son has started stealing from his own house.
Where's the rest of it?
Stop it, father!
That is not your money.
Santhosh gave it to him.
What happened?
Looks like the boy stole some money.
Dear father, this is from your daughter Suja.
My heart has been burning like the scorching red sun in the valley.
Since yesterday.
I am deeply in love with someone.
It was fear that stopped me from informing you.
But now it's too late to hide.
You know him. He is Ratheesh, whose mother runs a tailor shop in town.
We have been in love since school days.
For the past 16 years I have loved him more than my life.
I cannot forget him and put a ring on another man's fingers tomorrow.
Ratheesh is a very good boy.
He is the only child and he even owns a bike!
Ratheesh may not have a job in the Gulf.
But he has a heart that can love.
He has the will and capacity to work hard.
Father, you will probably assume this as my childish decision.
But when he disappears into the depths of the abyss,
I do not want to be left alone on the shores of pain.
Please do not gather our relatives and march towards Ratheesh's house.
Valsala Aunt has already survived two heart attacks.
She believes that he has gone to Chennai to find work.
I shall not drag.
I trust you will understand me someday.
As happy as the white doves of laughter.
Your daughter, Suja.
Member, this girl is really good!
Such amazing words!
These are lines taken from the movies, sir.
I am shocked how someone with your artistic sense became a Police!
Pity.
Vijayan...
Your daughter has left home by her own will.
Because she is not a minor, we cannot file a case against anyone.
You know this, don't you member?
But that doesn't mean we will turn a blind eye.
Not officially, but we will conduct an enquiry in our own way.
So, don't worry.
Please let us know, sir.
Okay.
Let's go.
Like the scorching dusk sun in the valley...
Nice lines, right?
I told you they were lines from the movies.
The lines are from an old 'Mammootty' film.
"My eternal flame"
"Is this the end of our bliss?"
"The days seems further away so does hope"
"Our dreams blur as faraway as the distant stars"
Please don't cry, mother.
Nothing will happen to her.
A lot of people are searching for them.
Please don't cry.
I knew something like this would happen.
What are you talking about?
Don't talk nonsense.
I am not saying anything. I don't want to be blamed for exposing secrets.
Vimala, just keep quiet.
Please put some sense in her.
Don't bother.
It runs in the family, Mohanan dear.
Nobody can change it.
Don't shoot your mouth off, Vimala.
I am not.
The younger ones learn from the older ones.
It's all in the past.
Why are you bringing it up now?
Stop it, mother.
You keep quiet.
You must have forgotten it.
But not me or my husband.
The older one was promised to Sreenath.
But do you remember all the drama?
Suicide threats, Police case and what not...
You think my brother was happy for them to marry?
He was just helpless.
Who is so worried about my life?
I have a respectable life with my husband.
Surabhi, be quiet.
Respect? I have seen enough...
I was a witness to my brother's humiliation.
Can you women just shut up?
Ruining everyone's peace of mind.
How can I keep quiet?
My brother was in tears that day.
And now again.
How can I bear this?
No one else need suffer.
She's my daughter, only my family needs to suffer.
Don't bother mother.
How can I not? She has been rambling on and on.
Really? The truth hurts, I guess.
Truth? What truth are you talking about?
Don't make me say things that I'll regret.
Didn't you run away and get pregnant?
And my husband had to get you married to this dimwit!
How dare you?
Don't talk filth, Lalitha.
I am only stating the fact.
Instead of acting like a hen-pecked husband, ask her the truth, you dog!
Who did you call dog?
Get out from here. Both you and your husband get out of here.
Go away. I don't need anyone.
Everyone go away from here.
Who are you to ask me to leave? I have rights in this house.
Your husband, and her dead husband
cheated me out of my inheritance.
Your brothers sold their inheritance to get you married.
You ungrateful woman. Let go of me.
What nonsense!
Take her away from here.
Move. Aunt, move.
Stop it!
You can fight as much as you want. But talk decently.
Yes. Correct.
We don't need an outsider to solve our problems.
That's not right, Surabhi.
Thank your stars I was here.
It was me who took you to the hospital when you fainted.
My Santhosh would have taken me.
He would have had to tie you up behind his scooter.
Probably yes. Who are you to decide?
How dare you? He is more decent and respectable than your fellow.
He may not have a great job, but he is my husband.
He is a man.
Is that why he took two years to prove it?
No. Don't hit!
How dare you hit her?
Leave him.
I'll kill you.
Stop recording.
Switch it off, man!
No, stop it son.
How dare you hit her?!
Santhosh, stop it!
Get lost you! How dare you hit her?
I will hit her. I wanted to for a long time.
Vijayan...
Why is this here? What's the use of all this now?
There is no use of all this!
Nothing is required!
Vijayan.
Vijayan, have you gone insane?
Auckarcha, stop him.
Get lost all of you! Get away from my house.
Get lost!
Hold him down, Auckarcha.
What madness is this?
Auckarcha, stop him.
Vijayan...
I have gone mad!
Vijayan.
I have gone mad!
I don't need this. What's the use of all this?
What's the use of all this?
What is the need for all this now?
Get lost you! Get out of my house!
All you dogs get out of my house.
Go on. Get out!
What?
What is it? What are you staring at?
Why did you come back after eloping with some loser?
Hold him!
Move!
Don't stop me!
What is wrong with you? Have you gone insane?
Auckar, don't interfere in this.
I will. What will you do?
I kept quiet so far but I won't any more...
The children have grown up, Vijayan.
If we can't understand them, it's our mistake.
Mistake? This is my house.
I will decide the matters of my house.
Who do you think you are? The King?
That may work in Kuwait. Not here.
This is a democratic country.
If the kids go to the police station,
the law will stand with them.
Democracy, you say?
Democracy.
Democracy, right?
Democracy.
I'll show you what's democracy.
You talk about democracy?
Let me show you all what's democracy.
All of you come.
All my family members, come here.
Vimala...
Lalitha... Bring Surabhi too.
Come on. Where's Sujith?
Come on. Come here.
Stand here. Where are the others?
Auckar, come here.
I said, come!
You must hear this. Come on.
Wait here.
I take care of my family very well.
I don't have any doubt in that.
But he has a doubt. Let me clear it right away.
Vijayan.
Don't open your mouth.
Only I will speak.
I am not willing to give my daughter in marriage to this boy.
If you agree with me then raise your hand.
Vimala?
As you say.
Don't utter a word.
Shobha?
Brother-in-law?
Ramya, what about you?
Surabhi?
Don't you have any opinion?
You boy?
Lift it up.
Auckar, there are nine voters in my family.
One, two,
three, four.
Four people have raised their hands.
Remaining are me and my wife.
What do you say?
Vijayan dear...
What is it?
Our children...
What?
Sujith...
Oh! Sujith.
Oh God! Why didn't you pick up my phone? I called you several times.
I got so lost...
I didn't know your address correctly and I kept looking for your house.
And then I met this brother...
My bag...
Thank God I met this brother.
I'll give you properly later.
Mother, I am leaving.
Father, I swear on my mother I don't know what's happening.
Mom!
Oh my!
I am Manisha.
I don't know if Sujith has mentioned me but I know all of you.
Sister!
Wow! The little baby.
Suja sister, congratulations. We'll have fun tomorrow.
Dad's blessings...
Dad, I am so sorry for barging into the house like this.
I didn't have any other option.
Mom and dad have been fighting over Sujith's issue.
And they were planning to send me back to South Africa.
That's why I just ran away.
But I am here now.
Sujith told me this is an old house and lacks facilities.
But, I like it.
Anyway, for Sujith I'm ready to live even in...
Hell!
Anyways, at the end of the day
what matters is not cash or luxury
but to be able to live with the one you love.
Isn't that real happiness?
Also, a clean bathroom is a must...
Right?
Definitely.
Why are you all silent?
You must all be tired from the party, right?
I am so happy I could see all of you together.
Can we click a groupie?
Come, come, come...
All of you please come. Dad, turn around please.
Okay, say cheese!
My dear Manisha, come here.
Wonderful! Aunt, let's pack our bags.
Nobody with self-respect can stay here anymore.
Uncle...
I don't want the 20K that I gave to Baby.
You keep it.
The whole family is an embarrassment.
Have you no shame?
You...
Take your twenty rupees, you dog!
And get the hell out of my Vijayan's house!
Okay, some people have come.
Babeesh Kuttikol...
Hi Anoop...
I am doing a live because I want to say something important.
It's about my wedding.
I think many of you know me.
For those who don't know me, my name is Lakshmikanthan.
I didn't want to do this...
But this is ruining my sleep.
I received many good proposals.
Even from wealthy families living in Sharjah.
But I rejected them all...
I wanted to find a simple, village girl from a poor background.
I found a girl like that and our engagement was fixed.
A day before the engagement,
do you know what she did?
She eloped with someone else.
Couldn't she have told me earlier that she loves someone else?
Couldn't she have?
She has neither education nor wealth.
And let's not even start talking about their house...
She is not even that good looking!
You'll know when you see her...
She goes by the name 'Suja Suju' on Facebook.
On Instagram, it's 'Suja Dreamgirl'.
She is aptly called a dream girl.
At least her father could have informed me.
Kuwait Vijayan. What Kuwait...
He should have told me. He knew about their affair.
Taking fancy to my glamour, wealth, and reputation,
he decided to dump her on me.
Thank God it didn't happen.
A girl must never dare make a fool out of a man again.
I made this video to say this.
In the name of all gods...
In the name of 'Lord Ayyappan'...
You will never prosper.
She says she will go to Sabarimala...
Let her try...
She wants to go to Sabarimala it seems...
I am a respectable man and I don't want to spread stories.
I just wanted to let my friends know and that's why I'm doing this.
-[Friends] Stop it man... -No, I won't...
I wanted to give Suja a life and look what she did to me...
Do you know?
They have hurt me so...
Not that I am hurt that much, still...
You will regret this.
You watch...
And after all this, she's back home now.
And her father, Mr. Vijayan accepted them.
And they are one happy family now!
"Take a hike!"
