All language subtitles for Ennu Ninte Moideen (2015) English SUBTITLE

My dear girl
Stop...don't go

'ln a Naxalite-attack in West Bengal
a sub-inspector, few policemen...

'...and several others were killed'

'The police are now on a witch-hunt
for Naxal leader Charu Majumdar'

l killed him

'Yours Forever,
Moideen'

'Hail Mary
Full of grace'

'The Lord is with you
Blessed are you among women'

'Blessed is the fruit
of your womb, Jesus'

'Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners'

'Now and at the hour
of our death'

'We pray to you'

Kanchanamala

Why aren't you attending
the prayer session?

Answer me, girl
Why did you stay away?

l will not attend
prayers hereafter

What audacity!

When everyone else is
attending, why can't you?

Does equality exist only
to matters relating to God?

All of us kneel as equals
and pray in front of God...

...but the food we are served
is discriminated in the canteen

Students from affluent families
are served 'A' class food

Students in the little
lesser bracket get 'B' class

She is Merina, who's being served
'C' class food in this convent

The 'C' class food is arranged by
the Church for poor Catholic students

Then may be Hindus and Muslims
should convert to Christianity?

Leela, put some sense into her

She has a point, sister

lt is difficult for us to sit together
and eat food served differently

When we get back after
our December vacation...

...this issue must be solved

Otherwise we will resort to
other ways of insulting the Church

Don't forget!

After our vacation, we will
deal with the rest of the issue

Hope no one has a problem
to starve tonight?

We are prepared to do
anything you suggest

'Lord Messiah of
the King of miracles'

'Please turn the water
in our stomach...'

'...into 'roti' and chicken'

Ramachandra?

Come here

- Where the hell were you?
- l was inside

Call the musicians

Okay, father

Festival arrangements
are fantastic, Madhava

Our Goddess should not lack
in any way in being honored

Kottatil festival is as good as
Mukkam celebrating it

We can't do a slipshod job

Ramachandra, did you see
my son anywhere?

Where the hell is he?

What are you doing here?

l...that is, where is Ram'etan?

l was looking for him

He is at the temple

The lamp from the store room
must be placed on the verandah

The workers won't do it
properly, come with me

Come, man

Greetings

- Hope l am not late
- Not at all

Come

There is a divine strength
l get from here every year

Don't go around
saying this in public

Your people won't tolerate it
even if you are Sultan!

God blesses anyone who
comes to Him with a good heart

Gods are beyond
caste and religion

What is the use of
material wealth, Madhava?

A home should be
filled with good children

ln that respect
you are blessed

Look at your daughters
standing like 6 shining stars

Which one wants
to be a doctor?

The one over there

Studying in Little Flower Convent

A little mischievous
But very studious

We need a doctor in our own
home town, don't we, Sahib?

Sure, we do

Madhava, your children will
become doctors and lawyers

Education is the best asset these days

Why hasn't Moideen come?

lf he was here, he would have
clicked pictures of all this

He knows l'd be here today

lndia is not lndira

That slogan represents autocracy

ln spite of a quarter century
since we got freedom...

...we are seeing only an increasing
number of poverty stricken people

ls this the free lndia
we dreamed of?

We socialists must serve people
with slogans of democracy

Of equality and brotherhood

Our national architect
Nehru was a true democrat

But his daughter lndira?

She was not

lndian National Congress-

Stop it, Manu

Your father is a staunch Congressman
and you are a stubborn Socialist

And we are caught
between the two

My father burned clothes
supporting the Freedom movement

To him lndira Gandhi
is almost like Gandhiji

Wind up all this

Your father will be
back any moment

Let him come, mother

Our country will hereafter be ruled
only by Socialist party, not the Congress

Go now, mother

Even God can't win
an argument with you

Coming back to our subject

Our black flag demonstration
tomorrow at Kozhikode...

...will be in protest against
lndira's wrong policies

The People's Socialist Party
will keep its word at any cost

Good Lord!

Run! 'Tiger' has come

Where the hell
are you all running off to?

Run...run

What rubbish are you
planning to put into effect?

l have warned you many times

Keep your Socialism and
Communism outside our house

Don't you understand?

But l have not committed
any crime betraying my country

Of course it is

This is betrayal

Can your socialist wastrels come
anywhere near a Congress man?

Maybe not but they can
take over Mukkam

l must die
for it to happen

l am a Congressman from
Abdul Rehman's times

And it was Congress who made me
Panchayat president of Mukkam

lndian National Congress
no longer exists

lt is now
lndira Gandhi Congress

Congress (l)

Stop it

Are you teaching me politics?

What are you doing?

You keep quiet

You are the one allowing
these rebels to raise their heads

Madhavan's daughter will
become a doctor after 2 years

And you?

Shouting out slogans and living
for the sake of some loafers

Someone has to benefit
from your well-loaded body

lsn't that why we are planning
a black flag protest tomorrow?

Black flag demonstration?

lt will affect me adversely

lf you carry out
this dirty deed-

'Brave Moideen'

'Pearl of Mukkam, Moideen'

'Our treasure Moideen'

'Lead on bravely'

'Millions will support you'

'The con men of Mukkam'

He has been bruised
black and blue

'Long live Moideen'

The police broke his hand for
protesting against lndira Gandhi

So what? At least
he showed spunk

lf father is Sultan
then son is Pasha!

We need a smart youngster
like him in Mukkam

'We shall retaliate'

There will be retaliation for sure

His is pitting his silly Socialism
against lndiraji's charisma

He has been beaten up badly

He deserves more

He must be beaten and
thrown into the river

This is what happens to people
who dare oppose lndiraji

'Eye for eye
Tooth for tooth'

Enough! Stop it now

Lower him gently

All of you leave now
Let him take rest

Okay, see you Manu'ikkaka

How dare lndiraji
play against Moideen!

Moideen, come

Manu'ikkaka, take care

Sit here

Nice and easy

lf Sultan sahib sees me here
l'll be a corpse instead

l am leaving

How dare they-

Wait...don't go

Hey! Don't take it off

Give it time to heal

You weren't
actually beaten up?

Getting beaten is
not the criteria

You must know
how to market it

Now look who l am today

lf l stood for election in Mukkam
even l will get a few votes

Who broke your hand?

My hands?
Who will dare to?

Be it the police or army...

...if they punch you
give it right back

You don't have to worry at all

All those holding posts
high up there...

...have been fed
by these hands

We are all for Congress

Till we breathe our last
Gandhiji's path is our way of life

Madhav'etta, you must find a way out

We want to enact the drama
'You made me into a communist'

Scared of the police, no one is
giving us a place to erect the stage

Long ago when A.K.Gopalan
was in hiding at Mukkam...

...it was Unni'chetan
and l who sheltered him

l am not considering
the political angle

We are aware of that

lsn't that why
we came to you for help?

- Rama?
- Coming

Our field at Areekode is lying
idle after harvests, isn't it?

Clear it up and level it

They have to build
a stage there next week

You carry on

Hey! You are at it
early this morning

Why don't you stay back
one more day?

Go tomorrow

Nothing doing

We'll meet next vacation

See you, okay?

Radha'edathi, we must
go to the temple

Hurry up

Still at it?
l'm going, okay?

Kanchana?
Why don't you-

l know you want me to stay back

lt's not happening
See you, my dear

Ma, not ready yet?

Father is already yelling

'Koralappam'
Almost done

Give it to her

l clean forgot

lf l go back without
your famous snack...

...Leela will kill me

lt's become routine now

Shall l go, mother?

Ma, don't start now

l postponed going back
just because of these tears

10 day-vacation
has become 11

l will be back soon

Mother is always
extra fond of Kanchana

Don't make faces at me, okay?

Stop your mischief-stint in college

Everyone is anxious to
see you become a doctor

All that will happen, mother
There goes father again

l'll take leave, ma

Shut up, crow

Parukuttyamma,
l am leaving, okay?

- When are you back?
- Next vacation

Come here

When will you
come here next?

Be quiet and
show me your hand

Open it and see

lsn't it made of gold?

lt's an old one

And a little damaged
You can repair it and use it

Brother is calling me, see you

Coming

What were you doing?

What if it rains and
the place gets flooded?

Get in quick

Did you take an umbrella?

Yes, l did

lt was here, year before last
Moideen, Nair and Bhasi put up a play

l remember very well
'Kootukrishi' right?

Exactly

What happened, brother?

Let me see

What is it?

This vehicle always has a problem

lf l am absent today also
l don't have to go at all

lf you run for it
you can catch the bus

Okay, l am going

My brother will deal with it

l can carry your suitcase

Get down

Kunnamangalam to Kozhikode

Get in quick

Sit there

No, it's okay

lf you touch me
you'll be regarded 'unclean'

lf l don't, only then
l will become 'unclean'!

Go...get going

Answer me

l really don't know

You received one such parcel
previously in your name too

A book letter without
a sender's address

Was that also without
your knowledge?

Yes, madam
l don't know

One can never win
an argument with you

lt was only because
of Kanchanamala...

...we eat together now
without discrimination

True, we never used
to get anything to eat

Kanchana, why are you not eating?

l don't feel too good

l don't want to eat

Carry on

(re-arranging jumbled letters)

'M-O-l-D-E-'

Theyyathin Kadavu
Get down...get down

Let's go

'The Good Lord
showers His Grace'

'He said, it is not good
for man to be alone'

He proclaimed, 'l will make a helper
who is just right for him'

'Listen! That is the voice
of my dearest one'

'Across vales and hills
he comes skipping towards me'

'My beloved is like
a gazelle or a young stag...'

'...gazing through the windows,
peering through the lattice'

'He stands behind a wall

'He whispers to me'

'My darling, my beloved
My beautiful one, arise'

- How come you are here?
- Football match

lnside the church?!

l got out of the house
using that as excuse

'Flowers have started
blossoming on earth'

'lt's time to begin a song'

'The doves have started
cooing in our land'

Outside...

...it's raining

'Flowers of grapes
have started blooming'

'They sway spreading
their scented fragrance'

Shall we get drenched?

''Eyes spoke, in vocal silence''

''My dear parakeet from a distance''

''As lips expressed in a soft whisper
what the heart ached to hear''

''...when the pretty parakeet was near''

''Upon the branches of the portia tree''

''...a pair of birds roosted happily''

''From the chariot-like rainbow in harmony''

''...raindrops showered to keep company''

''Rain added to their rhapsody''

''Eyes spoke, in vocal silence''

''My dearest parrot from a distance''

''Along rippling
streams murmuring''

''And paths of fields flowering''

''Along rippling streams murmuring
And paths of fields flowering''

''A secret whispered soft
into wind's ears aloft''

''Like a song composed from above''

''The crashing crescendo of first love''

''ln this shower upon yonder hills
the clouds ran in dancing frills''

''Searching for this river flowing
like a vestal virgin glowing''

''Like a lake soaked in moonlight''

''And moon like a boat bobbing bright''

''Eyes spoke, in vocal silence''

''To my dear parakeet from a distance''

''As lips expressed in a soft whisper
what the heart ached to hear''

''...when the pretty parakeet was near''

''Upon the branches of the portia tree''

''...a pair of birds roosted lovingly''

''From the chariot-like rainbow in harmony''

''...raindrops showered to keep company''

''Rain added to the rhapsody''

There are so many items

My employer's son Kottatil Sethu
fell down while playing ball

His shoulder is injured

The doctor said so

Now pack it up
and give me quick

l think it's a dislocation

You've been repeating this
for quite some time

Move aside!
l need some light

lf you mix 'marvati' and 'marmani' oils
in equal proportions and massage...

...the dislocation will disappear in a wink

So you think!

Stop grinning and
get me the ayurvedic oil

Now move aside

Doctor

What are you doing?

Are you playing ball with his arm?

lt will take some time

Don't hurry me, please

Why don't you admit
you can't cure him?

God! My arm

Can l have some water?

l'll get it

The physician asked
for some water

Give it to me
l'll get it

Why didn't you come there?

l didn't want to see

l was quite scared
hearing him scream in pain

Appu, what is the doctor saying?

The dislocation is quite severe

He will be bedridden
for at least 3 months

He said it vehemently

Didn't he, Kanchana?

Dear God! Your uncle and
father won't spare me now

They keep accusing me of
encouraging him to play football

Where do we now go
for further treatment?

What are you looking for?

Where is water stored?

- Look, it's right there
- Oh! l forgot!

What's wrong with this girl?

No need to take him anywhere
He can be treated right here

Our Dr Thottam is the best

lsn't he, Kanchana?

Come here, my girl
Pinch out the leaves

Ramachandran is running
around with bank issues

Sahadevan is looking
after the theatre

Everyone has 101 things to do

Aunty, you needn't worry

After all l am
Sethu's closest cousin

l'll look after him

Even if it's difficult and
how many ever months...

...l'll stay right here
till he's better

lt's my duty after all

Stop killing him like this

Take him somewhere else

Doctor, come away

Don't take unnecessary risk, Moideen

lt's a dislocation of
a vital part of the body

Hey! No

Don't

Stop wriggling, Sethu

This is not foot ball

He'll foul up for sure!

That's it

Hey! Moideen
lt is fixed now

l told you, it was very simple

But what to do if he resists?!

What are you doing?

Lie down

lt's a serious condition

Why don't you tell him?

lt's nothing
l am cured

How did that happen?

lt was just a dislocation

One jerk and Moideen fixed it

lt was quite painful

Are you really okay?

Mother, l'm alright now

lt wasn't the doctor
Moideen set it right

Moideen?
He's a smart fellow

Let's leave

Appu, come

Sethu, see you at the ground

Okay

Go and keep it inside

Please drink tea

l cut the tree from my estate
Sawed it in my own mill

Got it made by carpenters
in my own house

This is a little extravagant

You are only saying it
as a formality

When visiting you
for the very first time...

...we have to follow
certain conventions

- What do you say?
- Sure, we must

We have heard
a lot about Moideen

Moideen is news in Kozhikode,
Koyilandy, Arukutti and Mavoor

Where is Moideen?

He is not to be seen

'l feel you are pretending
not to have seen me'

'Or this must be a ploy
to make me confess first'

'Like the peacock feather
we used to treasure as kids...'

'...l want to express my love
l cherished for so long Kanchana'

'...that has been nestling in
my heart for long, Kanchana'

'l like you so much, Kanchana'

'So very much'

Won't the ground we stand upon
open up and swallow us, Moideen?

Will people allow this?

Are you out to create
problems in Mukkam?

lf we follow this river
we reach the Arabian Sea

How many ever times
the boat halts at the pier...

...lruvazhinji river will
reach the Arabian sea

lf lruvazhinji belongs to the sea...

...then Kanchana
belongs to me, Moideen

This is my word of honor

A promise made
is truth for keeps

l know very well your word
is as good as a promise

Please come in
l must tell you something

Shouldn't we ask him
before we decide?

Ask him?

l will decide
He will do it

You take care of
the preparations for lunch

My father built a house for me
Today is the house-warming

lt is father's scheme to control
his wastrel son's wayward ways

l must go there

Otherwise he'll give me
a piece of his mind

l came only for 2 days

l must go back tomorrow

l'm leaving from
my uncle's house

You must write to me, okay?

Not only write letters

l'll come to Kozhikode

To the gates of your college

Or your hostel premises

l can at least
see you that way

Manu'ikkaka

Go, the ferry is here

Kunji'ikka

You have a passenger

Kanchana?

l had been to your house

Only then l came to know
you were at your uncle's place

l have...

...something to tell you

What is it, Appu'etta?

Why should we wait
till the month of Rajab?

There are auspicious days
before that also

Where the hell were you?

They have been
waiting to meet you

He is Soopi Haji from Poonoor

Rice trader at Valyangadi

Owns acres of paddy fields

We from Mammaliparambu have
ancestral rights at the royal palace

Kerala is now under
the rule of R.Shankar

Didn't royal rule end
long back, father?

Soopi Haji has come
with an alliance

l have consented to you
marrying their daughter

To her elder sister

Perfect date is the 20th

ln the month of Shawwal

The wedding will be held
at Poonoor mosque

Do you approve, mother?

Your mother approves and
your father is very happy

We are waiting
only for your acceptance

Then you shouldn't delay

My mother Pathumma
can do with a helper

lf Sahib weds another woman...

...whole of Mukkam
can rejoice happily!

Manu

l don't understand

What did you say?

lf Haji insists our families
must bond through marriage...

...he must get his eldest
daughter married to you

Because if at all
there is a girl in my life...

...it will only be Kanchana

lt's a word of honor l have
given her, myself and to God

Which Kanchana?

Kanchanamala of Kottatil house

You dirty rascal!

Don't hit him

l have been tolerating
your atrocities all these years

You want to ruin my friendship
with my best friend..

...with your blessed love affair?

You, Unni Moideen Sahib
Advocator of religious tolerance

Why this double standard now?

Has your 'browneye' prayer bump
suddenly become a shade darker?

You dare speak insolently
to your own father?

You'll get it from me

Manu!

- What are you doing?
- Move away, woman

Have you gone mad?

He is your son

Get out from here

l don't have a son anymore

You don't have any right
over your inheritance

Don't you dare come here

Even to see my dead body

l don't want the money
you have stashed

l have never desired
the assets of this house

But if l am alive,
when you die...

...my shoulder also
will carry your coffin

Because l have called
only you 'father'

My son!

Ask him to get lost

That house belongs to you also

You don't have to
go anywhere else

You can stay with us

You are good at heart

We know you won't
do anything wrong

Go and take rest now

Manu'ikkaka

How did you make her
fall in love with you?

ls she very beautiful?

More beautiful
than her face...

...is her heart, my dear

Look here

Are you very much
in 'lub' with her?

lt's not 'lub'

Love

Stop annoying me
Off you go

How will l go for
my tailoring classes now?

The teacher and students there
are your ardent fans

l have fooled them so many times
saying l will recommend them

l want a notebook
to write a letter

lt's over there

Why do you have to
scribble notes to and fro?

Why don't you convert her?

Uncle might then agree

lf she converts
l myself will kill her

'My dear Kanchana'

'l am trapped in
an unexpected tempest'

'l have made up my mind
to go ahead and get drenched'

'Father has thrown me
out of the house'

'l am now staying
at my uncle's house'

'Doors are being shut
on our faces, Kanchana'

'But we will certainly open
the doors that are shut'

Come here

- What's it, boy?
- Come here

- Where is Kanchana'edathi?
- She has gone

- Where to?
- College

What is it?

Get lost, boy

Who are you, boy?

l am the son of Ramankutty
who sells palmyra torches

What's in your hand?

Nothing

Nothing?

Give it here

lt's nothing

Continue reading
the rest of it, girl

'Don't worry about anything'

'ln my mind l have
already given the dowry'

'l don't care who objects
l will be yours only'

'Our love must be carved
on the doors of Heaven'

'lf you are beside me,
that is more than enough'

Read the last line, girl

'Forever yours, Moideen'

ls all this true?

ls there anything going on
between the two of you?

Yes, we like each other

l'll punch you like
we pound rotten areca nut

You had better forget him

My dear, think of this
as just a lapse on your part

Forget him

No, mother
l have promised him

A promise made
is truth for keeps

Just selling coconut leaves
from our estates is enough...

...for 4 future generations
of Kottatil to live happily

Now look what happened
allowing her to study?!

Look at her now

Promised herself to
some low bred fellow

Enough...full stop
to your education

No, l want to study

Give us your word you won't
have anything to do with Moideen

No, brother, we have decided

Are you out to create
trouble in this land?

Do you want to create issues
between Hindus and Muslims?

How can there be an issue?

When Shankar uncle
married a Christian...

...it was father who sheltered him

Father always said
there's no caste or religion

That only being human(e) mattered

Father will agree
l am very sure

lnsolent girl!

Sethu

He has used strong
black magic potion on her

lf you allow her to go out
it will be dangerous

Not even her shadow
should be seen outside

Mother

Kunji'ikka?!

l want to go across

Hurry please

Manu'ikkaka

Good Lord!

l am Moideen of Mukkam

Did you come here at
midnight to give this gift?

This is from my garden

l just had a bite

l heard you were kept
locked up under heavy security

l wanted to bring you out

And here l am

Let's go

Where to?

This bus does not have
a name board for now

Fuel filled to the brim

This bus will go any place...

...where rules of temple
and mosque don't apply

No, Moideen

lt may not matter to you

But it will break the friendship
between your father and mine

Neither will we be at peace

And society will blame us
for isolating our families

As a man l have
earned a bad name...

...in this short span
of life that l have led

lf taking you away will add
more lustre to my reputation

...then so be it

Stop arguing
and come out now

What about my sisters?

l must not be the reason
for their lives to be ruined

Our union must not be the cause
for even a drop of blood being shed

When everyone
decides to accept us-

When both of us are
buried under the earth...

...we can go and graze sheep!

Tossing and turning 6 feet deep
love will not be good like it is now

They stopped your studies
because of me

Come away to Kozhikode

l'll stand guard
at the college gate

Let me see which member
of your clan will take you away

l can study from here

Want to be stubborn?

Yes, l am

Are you regretting this?

Did they hurt you?

Did you suffer?

No

Alright

l will wait until the day
you decide to come away

The day you agree
l will be here once again

Till then keep writing to me

l will somehow
send you a reply

See you?

Did anyone imagine
she would behave like this?

lt's not Kottatil alone

Our entire clan feels let down

What a disgrace!

That too with a Muslim boy

What are you doing
out in that rain?

Stop it, Appu

Do you remember
all that you studied?

- l do
- You?

l remember

- Where are you going?
- To school

No more school
for you, get inside

- We have Hindi exam today
- Hindi...my foot!

Hindi is our national language, uncle

What?!

Did you hear that?

Politics at the drop of a hat!

No wonder girls are
going the wrong way

lt's their father's school
He will spoil these girls also

Go inside

Uncle, forget the fact
my education was stopped

Don't punish them
They didn't do anything wrong

Don't you open your mouth

lf you mend your ways
your sisters can go to school

Otherwise their studies
can go for a toss

l don't think my love
for Moideen is a crime

l have made arrangements
for the girls to study

But she is quite stubborn

We must get her married

How can we arrange that
all of a sudden?

We must

A family that matches our status
will come here on Wednesday

Ask your father to come here
as soon as possible from Nilgiris

'Architects of this new generation
will open out coffers of new inspiration'

'Single wick lamps held with affection
come maidens, like poetry in motion'

'Single wick lamps held with affection
come maidens, like poetry in motion'

'Hail those who awaken to
fresh sounds all around new'

How is this song, Moideen,
for the party meeting this evening?

Sure, it will rock

Buy your provisions and wait
l'll be back soon

'All of them who perspire
Toiling in fields of green here'

How is this?

Wonderful

'All of them who perspire'

'Dear Manu'

'Once again l am
under new shackles'

'They are planning
to get me married'

'Uncle and brothers seem
to have almost fixed it'

'Something must be done'

'lnstead of going to
another prison...'

'...isn't death a better option?'

'Those who made the handcuffs
and built the prisons, let them tremble'

'Let us show our courage, insurge
break the fortress walls to surge'

'Let this be a new dawn of crimson
on the blue skies of a revolution'

Bhasi! Even though you don't look it...

...you are brilliant!

'My dear Kanchanakutty'

'Hold on to your courage'

'We will break
the walls of your fortress'

'l was expecting this
for quite some time'

'According to my spies...'

'...it's a family from Perumanna
who will reach Kottatil on Wednesday'

'To 'see' you as
a prospective bride'

'They are very affluent'

'Madathiparambil family'

'Their word is always final'

'Look! They've arrived'

'He is Rarukutty
of Madathiparambil'

'Your future father-in-law'

'Half the town of Perumanna
is under his control'

'That handsome fellow
is M.P Manoharan'

'Obviously his looks speak
for the groom-status'

'He's a station master
at Madras railway station'

'Unless he waves the green flag
the train won't leave the station'

'His plan is to take you
to Madras after marriage'

Let's go in

'There's a knock
at your door, right?'

'Go, open it'

'Go and open the door'

What were you doing?

They are here

Get ready quickly

'Don't hesitate
Accept it'

'You must dress well
because that is tradition'

Here www.TamilRockers.com,

'Now close the door'

'Now l will tell you
how to present yourself'

lt's not easy to come away
from the Nilgiris tile factory

That's why her father is not here

That's alright

There's always a next time

My dear Kanchana

You are taking so long

Come out

Kanchana, open the door

Open the door, my girl

Have you gone mad?
What is all this?

l am Moideen's girl

lf they are prepared to accept
a second marriage, l'm ready

Give it to me

Move aside

Dear Goddess!
What is she up to?

Who is this?

l am Kanchanamala

You are here to 'see' me
as prospective bride, right?

My son is not so desperate
to marry a widow

You were also
a part of this charade?

l swear upon Lord Muthappan
l didn't know she was a widow

What are you sitting
and gaping there?

Get up

Rarutty

Without knowing the facts-
Explain this to him

l don't want any explanations

He won't look for an alliance
anywhere near Mukkam

You wicked girl!

After putting us
through this shame...

...you really think you have
a future with him?

Even if you die inside here...

...you won't get
what you desire

lf you dare disgrace our family...

...l will kill you

Stop right there, woman

Give it to me

This is our 2nd glass of tea

Will it come at least
before the next tea?

Will it come?

Manu'ikkaka, are you having tea?

No, it's poison

Do you also want some?

Moideen!

l am from Kottaatil

Only l will come hereafter

Here is the credit book

'All these hurdles
did not deter them'

'Despite the distance
their love only grew stronger'

'When letters were intercepted
they found new ways to communicate'

Not enough sunlight
Put it over there

lf your uncle and brothers
come to know, they will kill me

But l'm fine with it

l know how much
you love each other

My only regret

To see a girl like you
full of life to be shut inside here

'My dear Kanchanakutty'

'l have found a new method
to solve our letter problem'

'When you hear the horn
of my car you'll know'

'That way no one
will be caught with it'

'Honk once
l am at Mukkam'

'Horn twice, l may be
at Kodiyathoor'

'Or Chennamangallur'

'3 honks, l am

Goodness!

Run

Why did you stop, you rascal?

What 'old man' am l?

Move

You think you can
let your tongue run wild?

What did l do that was so absurd?

Didn't you-

Didn't you detour road from
the bus stand to the river front?

Otherwise the Govt. would have acquired
the land belonging to Thotungal

Must the poor townsfolk make
a detour of almost a kilometer now?

l too have lent my shoulder
to bring Mukkam up to this level

Sometimes l'm forced to
take such decisions

How does it affect you?

People supported me because
of the good l did for this town

l will continue to be
the Sultan of Mukkam

You can be Sultan or Satan!

But it is natural in any democracy
for new candidates to emerge

And no Unni Moideen can stop that

Are you teaching me democracy?

You were the one who published news
about trees being chopped down

And put a spoke in
my development plans

Those trees were not
planted by you, father

When the hot sun
beats down mercilessly...

...let those trees be a shady haven
for the homeless here

Don't try your tricks with me

At any cost, l will get 100 odd trees
and have them sawed in my mill

And throw them into the river

Want to see me do it?

That desire will only
be rotting in your mind

What did you say?

You will not touch a single tree

There are other men here
in Mukkam to prevent that

Manu'ikkaka
Long live

Any tree that grows
way above my head...

...l will chop it down like
slicing the stem of colocasia

What, brother?

Look at this

Moideen's Sports magazine
was released by Mrs. lndira Gandhi

The magazine 'Sports Herald'
published by B.P.Moideen was...

...released by Prime Minister
Mrs. lndira Gandhi at Kottayam

Let me see

He is a smart fellow

He got the Prime minister
to release his book

He headed the black flag protest also

When to protest...

...and when to publish magazines

...he times it well

Go...go

Nothing to fear

- Go fast
- l am scared

Don't be
lt's nothing

Did you see that?

Here, towel yourself dry

Kottatil Sethu

A promising footballer for lndia

By B.P.Moideen

One more promising player
from Mukkam for the lndian team

Kottatil Sethu, a 'centre forward'
with his own merit is a footballer...

...who has attracted
National attention

Would lndira Gandhi have read it?

Of course

So wouldn't she have
seen my photo also, Appu?

Look, your picture also is here

Let me see

From Mukkam to Mohan Bagan

Appu, 'defender' out of his own efforts
qualified into Mohan Bagan's team

These are just tricks up his sleeve

But our photos published
in a decent magazine from Kerala...

...is also our good fortune, right, Appu?

All of you have fallen flat
for his glib sweet-talk

Not exactly fallen

lsn't he the kind
to show off his skill?

he won't hesitate to say so

'The light searches for a lamp'

This whole play

'On behalf of KKM,

'...who were present here

You carry on, l need
to go to Manassery

'My heartfelt thanks'

Do you think he understood?

Whether he did or not
is besides the point

The whole town understood
this was a dig at Kottatil family

- l'll take this route
- See you tomorrow

- Okay, see you
- Do you want the torch?

No, you carry on

Bhasi as a woman was superb

We have been playing ball
since our childhood days

Did you think l won't recognize you
with that kerchief over your face, Sethu?

Sethu'etta

Don't

This will only cause trouble

Run

l will consider this shot as just
a lapse on your part, Sethu

Let this remain with me
for the time being

Otherwise you might
resort to more blunders

l love her very much, Sethu

As much as she loves me

When she mentioned about
the harsh problems she faced...

...do you know what l told her?

Even if the whole world
is against us...

...Sethu will understand

But l was wrong

l was...

...wrong about you

Today it has ended

Tomorrow l am asking her
to come away with me

l won't allow you
if it's the last thing l do

lf it is the last thing l ever do...

...l will marry only her

And we will lead

But you, son of Satan...

...if you are bent on raising hell

...you will be dead

...Kanchana is my girl forever

Are you sure?

As sure as you are my father

l have given
my word once for all

You scoundrel!

lf l let you remain alive

You forced me
to do this, my son

Manu!

My dear...wait

Open the door, dear

Please don't do
anything foolhardy

l've lived inside here
like a corpse all these years

What does it matter if l die?

Go away from here

Dear Manu

l know

l am still alive
because you are there

l am not prepared
for anything else

No, Manu

You cannot die

l won't allow any God
to take you away from me

l want my Manu

l won't kill myself

Waiting for you all these years
will become meaningless then

What l should experience
in a lifetime...

...l have gone through
in this room

Yet l have never
prayed to any God

But today l am praying

My dear Gods...

...give me back my Moideen

Promise me
You'll give him back

l must see my Manu

Didn't l tell you
l can't allow you in there?

We are trying our best
to save your son's life

This will be his life saver

lt will work better
than any of your medicines

l'll just give it to him
and l will come away

Don't delay

See who the donor is

Okay, doctor

Take me to the court and-

Didn't l ask you
to take a bail-

l am the accused

You must produce me in court

No one will come to bail me out

Unni Moideen?
Give that over there

Give me that form

Sign here
Go ahead

Here Unni
Now sign

Where are you off to?

Wherever l feel like

The joy on your face when you ruin
people whom you dislike...?!

God will reward you accordingly!

Stop blabbering and go inside

That will be better for you

l am getting to know
what is better for me

After chopping him up like meat
you sit and enjoy a game alone, eh?

You tried to kill him because
you knew he was a better man, eh?

Your power and position
is more important to you

Yes, woman

Dignity and self respect
are priority for a man

Utter rubbish!

A congress man who preached
there was no caste and religion

But when your own son wanted
to marry Madhavan's daughter...

...you simply eliminated him

l have more dignity and
self respect than you

So look, this is all
l am taking with me

And that too, to implore God
to give you better sense

Never come here again

Get lost

l don't even want to come
into this Satan's house again

You can live here all alone
as the Sultan of Mukkam

But one day
God will reform you

Even when he was on
the verge of dying...

...he was clutching
that fistful of sand

l tried so much
to prise it off his hand

That is the sand of
Kanchana's footprint

How will he let go?

Moideen, doctor has
agreed for your discharge

You can leave this afternoon

l never thought
you would recover so quickly

lt wasn't the doctor
or his medicines

lt was her prayers day and night
that retained your soul here

You must give that soul back to her

What are you waiting for now?

Just go and bring her

l also have a house of my own

True

This is the best time

All her siblings are married

Ramachandran is in Coimbatore

Go and bring her Manu'ikkaka

Mother, if l believe in you
and bring her with me...

...you think we will end up starving?

Be quiet!

Go bring her
Then you can joke

Here, take it

- ls someone to be hanged?
- Didn't you hear?

Naxalite Ajitha has been set free

Sultan

lf you tell the truth
to the magistrate...

...we'll lose our case

You did not stab him

lf you can save the case by
your gift of the gab, do it

But l will not bow my head
in front of that scoundrel

Kannur jail is meant
for red blooded men

Known to people
as Sultan of Mukkam...

...the accused here, Baliyambra
Pottatu Unni Moideen Sahib

That is, my client
B.P.Moideen's father

Haven't you tried many times
to kill my client Moideen?

Yes, you have
Many times

Once following a disagreement
haven't you tried to shoot him?

l am trying to establish the enmity
the accused always had towards my client

Tell me

Did you not point a hunting gun
and try to kill your son?

l did point a gun

But l did not shoot

Didn't you challenge
you would chop him...

...that too, in public
at Mukkam junction?

This has no relevance to this case

Tell me, didn't you threaten
in public you would kill him?

Any respectable person
holding a high position in society...

...if insulted publicly
will definitely react

lt was not a threat

So you admit you were not
on the best of terms with your son

Wasn't it on July 12th, during
heavy rains, you were stabbed?

Yes

You could have died, isn't it?

lt was sheer luck
l did not die

The first stab itself and
my intestines were injured

lt was sheer luck
this young man...

...was rescued from
his own father's attack

He was operated for 6 hours

And had to stay in
hospital for 1 month

l am submitting medical records
to the court for your kind perusal

Whose knife is this?

My father's

This knife is always tucked
in Unni Moideen Sahib's waist

And he has a gun in his car

Wasn't it with this knife
the accused stabbed you?

lt is true l was hurt

But not...

...with a knife

lt was Unni Moideen Sahib
who stabbed you

No one stabbed me

Moideen, this is the court

Think back properly and reply

This knife was used
by Sahib to stab you

l tell you l wasn't stabbed

Then how did you get hurt?

lt was...

lt was raining
heavily on July 12th

l got out of the river front and
l was walking along the road

l slipped in a pool of water
and fell sideways

l fell right on top
of the stub of a tree

lt was as sharp as a knife

l tried to get up thrice

But the 3rd time also, my hand slipped
and l sank into unconsciousness

When l became conscious
l was lying in Beach hospital

That was exactly
what happened that day

Forget it, father

lt's alright

Since prosecution could not
prove the accused was guilty...

...court grants unconditional
release to Unni Moideen Sahib

Come

We can sit inside

Come back home
and bring him also

''Sleep, my princess, sleep deep''

''Sleep, my princess, sleep deep''

Wasn't he living in Coimbatore?

Yes, he died there

''Created just for me, oh woman''

Sir...?
He's gone!

- What is it?
- Ramachandran died in Coimbatore

''Created just for me, oh woman''

What happened to
my son Ramachandran?

Father

Oh God!
My son

Father!

''You share my soul 50-50
You are the essence that fills me''

''You are the light within me shining
A pearl necklace shimmering''

'Fate played the role
of a villain once again...'

'...in Moideen's and Kanchana's lives'

'Just when they decided
to live together...'

'...Kanchana's elder brother
Ramachandran dies'

'His death was a big blow
to the Kottatil homestead itself'

What is your plan in life?

ls it enough if you
work day and night?

By the time you realize
your life has passed by...

...it will be too late

What do you mean,
brother-in-law?

Get married
Raise a family

lt's quite late as it is

Before that, Kanchana must
settle down in life

After that l'll decide what to do

What can you do
about Kanchana?

l've never seen a more
arrogant woman in this world

After marrying your sister
l've always been humiliated

But now l have
become thick skinned

l'll tell you frankly

Your father is old and feeble

Everybody else has
gone their own way

You'll end up shouldering
all the liabilities

l am aware of all this
But what can l do?

l have loved her the most
among all my sisters

Every time she was
reprimanded and beaten...

...l was in pain and bleeding inside

l haven't slept peacefully
all these years

Whatever happens l'll wait
until she's settled in life

She is ready to elope
with that Muslim boy

Do you think any decent family
will come forward with a proposal?

Look out for a handicapped
groom or a widower

l have said whatever
l wanted to say

Now it's up to you

l'm leaving

See you, Latha

Kanchana doesn't deserve
any random stranger

lf you don't have any objection
l will marry her

Why do we have to 'see'
our own niece formally?

Just sticking to tradition, that's all

True

l want to speak to Kanchana

Frankly l never expected
to see you like this

Dressed up
in all this finery

Because usually you don't

You come dressed like a widow
to chase away prospective grooms

Today l decided
l'll come like this

Time is like an exam, isn't it?

True

From childhood and
all through my growing years...

...my thoughts were only of you

l thought you had noticed

No, Appu'etta

l knew only the day
you gave me that letter

l have preserved from our school days
a peacock feather you gave me

Your photo and a notebook
with your hand writing

Maybe l was not capable
of expressing my feelings

By the time l got around
to professing my love...

...Moideen was already
deep rooted in your heart

But l expected at least
a reply for my letter

l gave that letter to Moideen
on that day itself

Anyway past is past

Being a bachelor all these years
and waiting for you...

...was worth the while, right?

My thoughts are full of another man

For the past 10-20 years

Still you are so keen
on marrying me

Do you like me
so much, Appu'etta?

l did not come here with
any thoughts of sacrifice

They will never let you
marry Moideen

To see you waste away
your life like this...

...my conscience does not
allow me, Kanchana

l love you more than
anything else in this world

l know it, Appu'etta

But l love my Moideen
a thousand times more

And Moideen loves me
ten thousand times more

lf you insist on this marriage...

...you'll tie the knot
to my dead body

Even if l have to go through hell
for another 1000 years and die...

...l'll happily do so for Moideen

All these years l have
lived in this hell hole...

...thinking only of him
and reading his letters

Do you think you can
tear our hearts apart?

Tell me, can anybody
in this world be able to?

There cannot exist another
woman like you in this world

You are Moideen's wife

One day the world will
acknowledge your love

l swear

Forgive me

For my covetousness...

...forgive me

You?

What's this?

You are completely drenched

l just felt like it

lt's been quite some time
since you walked in here

- What happened?
- Just like that

'Yours only, Kanchana'

Moideen, come

He is not crying

Smart boy!

Sit, let me take a picture

Come, sit closer

Wait
One more

Remove those black bangles

l'll be upstairs

Did Bhasi see you in this new disguise
on this auspicious day?

No

lt was Appu'etta
who informed me

No one recognized me
in worker's clothes

Don't you have to go in person
to get one's passport, Moideen?

The rule says so

But my friend Jamal works
in the passport office

He has managed to get it

Your signature on
the application is enough

l can go get both our passports

But after waiting
for so many years...

...a pity we can't live
in our own soil

Not because it's impossible

The doors of Balyambra house
are open for you and me

My mother is waiting to see me
bring you holding your hand

But that does not
get us anywhere

You also have your family and relatives

lssues will arise when
we live within their vicinity

Maybe, there will be an uproar
among our communities initially

But all are human after all

They tend to forget

But so far away...?

So what, my dear?

Whether it is America or Mukkam

...you and l will
always be together

We'll apply for a visa
the day we get our passports

The day we get our visa
we'll leave this place

Our friend Eenashu is in New York

He has arranged a job for me

l have with me a fistful
of sand from your foot print

To take with me when l go

Until you come...

...that will hold me in good stead

''The Lord is the light,
lucent sunrise''

''The Lord shows us
the way, the path''

''He is the ultimate ascetic,
Pure and mystic''

''He is the only actuality,
The ultimate truth''

''The Lord is the light,
lucent sunrise''

''The Lord shows us
the way, the path''

''He is the ultimate ascetic,
Pure and mystic''

''He is the only actuality,
The ultimate truth''

Jamal?

Mani'ikkaka

Give me

l have got it done
without any problem

Here it is

Mukkam junction
Get down

Get in...get in

To Kozhikode

Go...go...go

Right...right

Get off quickly

The ferry is due now

Careful, doctor

Come closer

Manu'ikkaka, l see
you got your passport

- Yes
- What next?

l'll tell you when we meet
at the club this evening

Manu'ikkaka, there are
too many people

What to do?

lf l wait any longer
it may rain, get in

Move aside

Sit here

What's in your pocket?

Ayurvedic concoction
for back-pain

Teacher, did you know?

Manu'ikkaka is going abroad

ls that so, Manu'ikkaka?

Son, back from school, eh?

No, he is coming
back from the market

Strong winds...may be a heavy shower

Sit...sit

My dear, sit
Hold tight

Breeze is really strong

Don't panic

Just sit all of you

Don't stand

Don't shout and panic

Just sit

Go back to the banks

Go to the river bank, man

Just be quiet

Don't open that umbrella

lt will catch the wind

Shut up

Don't be scared

Don't lean that side

Hold here

Don't be scared

Hold tight
Don't move

Steer towards the bank

Kunji'kka, move towards the bank

Be calm...don't get flustered

Please don't stand
The boat will topple

Doctor, sit down
Boat will capsize

Jump right there

Look...jump in

Come, Moideen

Take them away

Get them into the boat

Hold him

Moideen, come
Climb in

Just get them into the boat

More people are down there

Enough, come

Hold it

Don't wait for me
Just rescue them

l'll be alright

My dear

Moideen, enough

Moideen!

My Moideen alone is missing!

'Boat capsizes in Mukkam
Moideen and 3 others die'

'His hazel eye was plucked by a fish'

l want to go to my Manu

Let me go

Manu

- What are you doing?
- Leave me

Don't do something danger-

l want to go

My dear

'The lruvazhinjipuzha disaster snatched
Moideen from Kanchana forever'

'Kanchana waiting eagerly
to unite with Moideen...'

'...was told this earth shattering
news of his demise'

'ln a world without Moideen...'

'...not wanting to live'

'...she attempted suicide'

'Wasn't it water from lruvazhinji river
that Moideen last drank?'

'She too wished to
drink the same water'

'Kanchana intended to end
her life drinking that water'

My dear

Mother

Were you intending
to die for him?

You must live for him, right?

Come, we'll go to my house

As my daughter-in-law

Come

Come

''Created just for me, oh woman
One born on the soil of Mukkam''

''You share my soul 50-50
You are the essence that fills me''

''You are the light within me shining-''

Even though they could not live
as husband and wife

...Kanchana lives as Moideen's
unmarried widow even today

With fond memories of Moideen

''The essence of love in me
You are a splendor unseen''

''You are the novel woman of my novel''
