Allah!

Oh, Lord!

Oh, Lord!

Allah! What is this?

All praise to Allah!

How will I take this? Oh, dear.

Thanks for showering me with these riches.

You could have given me a sack to fill it in.

Oh, dear.

Who knows how many millions are in it? Thank you, Lord.

One crore is a meagre sum nowadays.

Who am I to refuse an opportunity given by God?

I will take it all. Okay?

Even God isn't blessed with common sense.

If He had done this earlier, I wouldn't have had

to suffer like this. I will take everything.

If I had known this would happen, I would have hired a rickshaw.

Let me see. I will do what I can.

Why is there a delay in releasing the funds?

Allah!

Rukhiya, what happened?

Rukhiya, what happened?

Nothing, Mom. He had a dream.

- Oh.. - Was I dreaming?

"A crescent-shaped ship arrived at Kochi."

"A crescent-shaped ship arrived at Kochi."

"It's an Arab ship full of hidden treasures."

"It's an Arab ship full of hidden treasures."

"It's an Arab ship full of hidden treasures."

"It's full of hidden treasures."

"Who shared my sorrows? Who gave me shelter?"

"I don't know.." - Hey!

If you dance in there, you'll break your back.

"The clouds have bloomed.." Mr. Director.

I have to pay my tuition fees tomorrow.

Don't say that you didn't know about it then.

Go to school.. Bye, Brother. Bye, Mom.

"The ship.."

Mister, is Mr. Ambrose's house nearby?

It is a rented house, right? Yes. It's over there.

"Her prince too has arrived on that ship."

"The sun's signet is embossed on his attire."

"The sun's signet is embossed on his attire."

- I am leaving. - Wait.

Mr. Nazar's daughter is getting married next month.

We should gift her something special. Sure, definitely.

I will buy a necklace of five sovereigns

with whatever money I get by selling these.

With whatever money I get by selling these.

- Why five? Go for ten! - Okay.

Mr. Ambrose.. Ma'am, please call him.

Dear, he isn't here. He went out.

Who are you?

Mr. Ambrose took my tuition fee. It's Rs. 200.

I will get the money from him once he comes back.

From this dump? Really? Don't joke.

"Exotic oils were brought for her since it's her wedding."

For how long will we survive on loans?

Can't you forget about movies

and find a job that provides a regular salary?

Wow, it's a beautiful frame.

Dear, it's the notice of a new case.

The case is going to go on forever.

Forget about the assets.

I don't care if we don't get a penny of it.

But I won't allow anyone else to enjoy my father's assets.

"A crescent-shaped ship arrived at Kochi."

"A crescent-shaped ship arrived at Kochi."

"A crescent-shaped ship arrived at Kochi."

"It's an Arab ship full of hidden treasures."

"It's an Arab ship full of hidden treasures."

I am leaving.. "It's full of hidden treasures."

Hey.. Oh, no! Ma'am, move aside.

The bike will hit you.. Run over me and kill me!

Oh, no! Then who will lend me money?

Hey, I did it for your deceased father and your family..

One day, you came to me crying as your house and assets

were going to get confiscated. I asked you to subscribe

to my chit fund. You joined, didn't you? Yes, I did.

My chit fund was ruined because of you.

If you had any good traits of your father, Mr. Syed

you wouldn't have done such mean acts.

You wouldn't have done such mean acts.

It was a disastrous year for Malayalam cinema.

Superstar movies have flopped at the box office.

Theatres are being shut down.

Sir, tell me. Who are the ones behind this?

- Directors.. - Oh..

Movies must resemble real life.

The ones which don't will be discarded by the audience.

Movies will flop. Theatres will shut down.

We will shut them down!

Ma'am, my duty-free shop is being constructed in Ernakulam.

I had to invest Rs. 4 lakhs in that. And hence the cash crunch.

Mr. Shanu, is the construction of your jewellery complete?

Jewellery, juice shop and whatnot.

He has a lot of shops in Ernakulam.

He sold his mom's nuptial chain even though he has his own jewellery.

You won't leave without giving my money back.

Ma'am, don't insult me.

One month. Give me a month's time.

I swear on my deceased father, I will pay you back.

Give him some more time, ma'am.

Yes.. Please.

So, Director Sandhesh Menon

So, Director Sandhesh Menon

even you belong to this group, don't you?

What do you mean?

Well.. Your last four movies were disastrous flops.

Stop it!

What has it got to do with you?

Did your dad produce these movies?

Get out right now!

I was annoyed the moment I saw this freak!

Go.. Get lost!

Or else I will destroy your camera.

Paru..

Why do you have to call your wife for such petty issues?

- Today, it's the 11th. - Yes.

If you don't pay my money back by the 11th of next month

I will come to your house! I will come to your home and pay.

You are my dearest. Please move.

Don't vanish. You won't see me again.

Paru!

Ambrose, run..

Catch them.. Who does he think he is?

Mister, please weigh this. Okay.

Are you weighing gold?

It's three and a half kilograms. That's all? Yes.

Here's the money.

- All right, then. - Okay.

Yes, Mr. Rajiv, tell me.

How much?

1,000 crores. That's not an issue.

Yes. We can deal with that easily.

It's in Mumbai, right? Okay.

- Who is it? - Who knows.

What's my share? Tell me that first.

Get it up to 5 percent.

It's a guy from Mumbai. Do you owe him money?

Get lost.

He has Rs. 1,000 crores of black money.

It needs to be changed.

How? By painting it? I will thrash you hard!

10 crores of white money in return for 20 crores of black.

The commission would be 5 percent.

5 percent of 1,000 crores..

Oh, God! It's Rs. 50 crores. Bloody fool!

Would anyone with Rs. 1,000 crores do business

with penniless guys like you?

They will play in their own range.

Whenever I give you guys a brilliant idea, you dismiss it.

Whenever I give you guys a brilliant idea, you dismiss it.

Stop daydreaming and try to implement practical ideas.

If it's okay with you, I will give you my new idea.

Hey, one of your stupid ideas is over there. - Yes.

This is the true fragrance of life!

A fragrance that gives meaning to life.

Smell it.

Wow..

Three roses, it makes your lives fragrant.

It wasn't fragrant, it stank!

I haven't done such a business ever in my life.

Hey, pal! Do you have Chivas Regal?

- Hey! - Stop!

What do you want it for? For your dying father to sip!

We will catch him someday and teach him a lesson.

What is it, Shanu? You look angry.

That guy is too annoying.

Mr. Nazar, mom told me everything.

The wedding is after two months. The groom is from Ponnani.

He works as a security guard in Oman Airways. - Really?

So, I'd have to go to Oman to see Nadira.

We still haven't gotten the gold and the money.

When your dad was alive, he used to give me a lot of courage.

Don't worry, Mr. Nazar. We are all here with you.

We will celebrate her wedding. Won't we?

We will come to your house to meet your mom. - Sure.

All right then.

Pal, why did you give them hope?

That's the only thing we have with us.

That's a bad excuse.

I used to lull her in my arms. When? Long back!

Bhanu has come up with another stupid idea.

Don't fall for that.

No way.. No one can cheat me when it comes to business.

Give my book back.

The total including yesterday's bill is Rs. 27.

- Rs. 27. - I don't have anything.

You are going to make deals worth crores.

Give it to him. Get the money from Varkey.

What an awful bunch! Pauper!

- Bald rascal! - Yes!

Egg!

Egg business.

It's a different business idea of mine.

Great! From incense stick to eggs!

There is something wrong with him. Let him talk.

An egg is not something to be frowned upon.

Do you know the value of a zero?

I'd have to see my mark sheet for that.

I'd have to see my mark sheet for that.

Don't be silly, man.

For an MBA graduate, an egg is not just an egg! - Then?

The MBA graduate has started early in the morning. - Indeed.

Do you even know the expansion of MBA? Yes.

Moron Bhanu's Association.

It's silly but apt, isn't it?

What is his next stupid idea? Egg business.

Do we need an MBA for that? Go on.

It's not a regular egg business. Okay.

We will go straight to this place called Namakkal.

We buy 1,50,000 eggs from the wholesale dealers there.

We return to our town with these eggs.

We then sell it to the wholesale dealers over here.

Won't it be a failure?

No.. This won't go well. Varkey, stop it.

Go on, Bhanu.

These eggs can be sold to one buyer or multiple buyers.

It would be better if we don't sell it at all.

We will sell it, but not more than 50,000.

For one egg, we reap a profit of 3 paise.

For one egg, we reap a profit of 3 paise.

Great! 3 paise. That's a lot of profit!

Bhanu, tell me.

1,50,000 times 3..

So, the total profit for one load will be Rs. 4,500.

That's okay.

But how will we raise the capital?

Imagine this, pal.

A load a day for the next 30 days.

How much? 30 days.. And 4,500 in profit per day.

So, for one month the profit will be Rs. 1,35,000.

How much is it again? Rs. 1,35,000 profit.

How is it?

You got it, didn't you?

Do you know how many eggs come from Tamil Nadu to Kerala daily?

45 lakhs.

We'll brand these eggs.

Assume that this company brands all the eggs

that are imported to Kerala in a month.

All the eggs in Kerala will be branded by this company.

All the eggs in Kerala will be branded by this company.

Next month, it would be another company and so on..

How is it?

We will charge 10 paise for advertising on one egg.

45 lakhs times 10 paise.. Rs. 4.5 lakhs.

Our profit will be 5 paise.

So, after all the expenses

we'd have a daily profit of Rs. 2.25 lakhs. Got it?

So, for 30 days, our total profit

will be Rs. 67 lakhs!

And the total turnover for a year will be Rs. 16.2 crores.

Our earnings for a year will be Rs. 8.1 crores.

I am ready to be a millionaire. What about you?

Wait.

I am ready.

"Did an egg hatch in your heart?"

"An egg that is your lucky charm."

"It's not adulterated, it's of the best quality."

"It's full of vitamins."

"Even a toddler will have fun eating it."

"It's a beautiful egg, the best of its kind."

"A lean guy or a handsome hunk.."

"Their strengths are these eggs, these beautiful white eggs.."

"Eggs.."

"Eggs.. The hens laid them all."

"Buy one for yourself and savour it, my dear."

"Eggs.."

"It doesn't cost much though it tastes like heaven."

"Life is incomplete without it."

"Egg.."

"Don't hesitate, just buy it."

"Eggs.. The hens laid them all."

"Buy one for yourself and savour it, my dear."

"Buy one for yourself and savour it, my dear."

"Egg.."

"Don't hesitate, just buy it."

"Eggs.. The hens laid them all."

"Buy one for yourself and savour it, my dear."

Hey. Bhanu is something!

You know what our problem is! We don't have an MBA.

There are a lot of ideas. But we can't implement it.

And what happens in the end?

Everything we do is a disaster.

Now you see..

Now that we have an MBA graduate with us, we are successful.

Hello.. Good Morning Foods!

- Where? - Thammanam, okay..

Okay..

It's the wholesale dealer from Thammanam.

He asked us to reach there quickly.

I think they are going to place a new order.

- So fast? - Yes..

Hello.. Good Morning Foods!

What would it be like for the Ambanis?

Pal, it's from Ernakulam market.

They asked us to get there quickly. Come.

If it goes on like this, we will be millionaires soon.

What is this?

- What the hell is this? - An egg!

- What the hell is this? - An egg!

An egg! Which bird's egg is it?

That's what I want to know.

Is it the egg you were talking about?

Whose egg is it?

Whose egg is it? It's not ours.

- Yes.. - Really?

This is the stock that you gave us today.

It's not just one or two. 50,000!

We gave you chicken eggs, not some bird's eggs.

Oh, really?

Don't do this because you have nothing else to do.

You should know the trade.

Or else, you will get what you deserve.

- I didn't get you. - Me neither.

Eggs are of different sizes. A large one, for foreigners.

Then there is medium, for people like us.

Then there is a variety which is of no use at all.

This one! It's called bullet.

This is what you gave. Look!

You may take it and do whatever you like.

Take it.

Is it the egg of a crow?

You thought you could trick us with these.

Are you trying to cheat us?

Get lost. Well.. For this time..

Take it away. Just once.. Get lost.

Eggs for cheap prices! Anybody?

Eggs for cheap prices! Anybody?

Eggs!

Sir, 50 eggs for Rs. 5.

I will give it a try here.

10 paise for 1 egg, ma'am. No..

Oh, God! Not a soul wants it!

Sir, please buy it.

- Eggs.. - No..

Eggs.. Anybody want eggs..

I can't even see properly.

Shanu, I'm fed up.

Nobody wants it even if it is free.

- Will you get rid of it? - You..

Even I have to tell you the same thing.

We've been here since morning. We want to go home.

Even I have to..

Will you please pay us?

Oh, Lord! What an ordeal.

I've only heard of Voodoo using eggs.

I will smack it.. What have I done?

Shanu, it's a populated area.. Count them all.

Shanu, it's a populated area.. Count them all.

It's going to be dawn soon.

As per the old saying, one must gauge his losses too.

A jeep! What? Stop! Police! Oh, no!

- Police.. - Just a moment.

Hey, what are you doing?

Is this a place to dump your waste?

Oh, no.. It's not waste. These are fresh eggs.

If you want it.. Get in the jeep!

Just a moment. Let me dump this.

Now, I am free.

Oh, God! Wait.. Let me talk.

Shanu, faster.. They are right behind us.

My bike will explode if I go any faster.

Oh, Jesus! Will it explode?

Shanu, I think you are man enough to face them alone.

Didn't we agree that we would share everything equally?

Come on.. We will get thrashed for sure.

Ma'am, pour some water on it. It might explode!

Oh, Lord! Isn't he Mr. Syed's son?

"I'm stuck between the sea and the devil.."

Up.. - Don't stop. There's another guy behind me.

Up.. - Don't stop. There's another guy behind me.

"Each day is an ordeal.."

Greetings, sir. I'm a bit busy now.

Poor guy. He has been running like this since his father's death.

Stop..

"My heart is throbbing out of my chest.."

"Each day is an ordeal.."

"This life is a tragedy."

"The whole world is after me.."

"The whole world is after me.."

"Kochi is a small town."

"When will I make a name for myself?"

"I'm stuck between the sea and the devil.."

"My heart is throbbing out of my chest.."

"I'm stuck between the sea and the devil.."

"I'm stuck between the sea and the devil.."

"My heart is throbbing out of my chest.."

Did his egg business flop too? Oh, Lord!

Shall we?

Help me, sir.

My property will be confiscated in two days.

Go to the bank.

The house and the adjacent property is all I have!

I will be out on the streets if I lose that!

I will be out on the streets if I lose that!

If you sleep on the streets, some vehicle will run over you.

You! I borrowed only Rs. 2 lakhs from you.

- Move aside.. - You cheat!

Move! You scoundrel! You destroyed my family!

- Greetings.. - Please sit.

- I will call you soon. - Okay..

Mr. Velayudhan, they are not happy about you coming in late.

Call them after an hour. Let them wait!

Let them wait.. That's right, Bhama.

- Mr. Venu. - Coming, sir.

Did you get the papers signed by them?

Everything is ready. It's perfect.

How much did you pay them?

They asked for 10. I gave them 3.

Oh, no! It's for a wedding. That wasn't needed.

But it's okay.

Bhama, go and call Mr. Jose.

Senile bastard!

Mr. Jose, it's worth Rs. 60 lakhs.

His commission is 2.5 lakhs. Here it is.

- Please count. - Come on.

- Count. - I won't count.

If the full payment isn't there, you'll be counting bars.

Do you want some money? We'll get another load of eggs.

Mr. Venu, look who is here.

Our dearest Shanu!

Shanu has put on weight.

Hasn't he? It must be the eggs.

Shanu, come here..

Do you have the money? Go..

Come here. He will pay it back, won't you?

Look how innocent he is!

You thief!

You took the entire commission that the exporters gave you

to give to Mr. Velayudhan, didn't you?

No, sir. I used it to buy the eggs.

But it was a failure. I didn't intend to cheat you.

I thought I'd pay you back after the business flourished.

But it was a failure, as you know.

I will break your balls for investing my money.

I will break your balls for investing my money.

Come on, tell me. When will you give my money?

Three months. Really? Bring it tomorrow.

- No. One month. - Okay.

I will give you a month's time.

You may leave, Shanu..

- Shall I leave, sir? - Listen..

If you try to escape again.. I won't.

What's the point in escaping?

Do you want any snacks? It's not the end of the world.

I have another idea.. Something to do with tea.

Sandra.. Oh, no. I have to talk in English now.

Hey.. How are you? Bhanu! How are you?

I am good..

- Meet my pal. - Hi, how are you?

He is also doing well.

What are you two business magnates doing here?

Don't make fun of us.

Ambro tells me all your stories.

The egg business was a failure, right? Yes.. Sandra..

- Time to go live. - Hi, Ambro.

Move.. - Live. - Live!

No need of any makeup? No, start. Here is the mic.

Today, I am going to talk about..

Today, I am going to talk about..

She is such a popular anchor.

What is he teaching her? Why do you talk in English?

It's a Malayalam channel. Talk in Malayalam.

Are you ready?

Sandra, we are connecting the call.

First call.. It's from our staff. Ready.

Welcome to 'Dil Se'. Who is this?

- My name is Prince. - Prince.

Do you know what this program is all about?

Yes, I know. We get to confess our love for somebody, right?

Yes, that's right.

Where are you calling from?

I work at a channel. I am calling from Kaloor.

So, Sandra..

The ones close to me call me Pinchu.

I'd like you to call me the same.

Our first caller, Prince aka Pinchu

is going to confess his love to his lover.

The name of that girl is Sandra.

Sandra, do you hear what Pinchu is saying?

Pinchu loves you!

Pinchu loves you!

Pinchu, what does she do?

I am talking to her.

It's your birthday on April 4th, isn't it?

On every birthday of yours and on every Valentine's day

I buy a gift for you. That's so sweet of you, Prince.

Shall I call you Chinchu?

Okay.. You didn't give me an answer.

I love you, Sandra.. Hang up! Kisses.

Do you want to kiss her? I dare you.

Kisses.. I wanted to spice it up.

Hell with it! You were flirting with her.

Damn!

Here is the song for our first caller, Prince.

Shanu, I came here to tell you something. What?

Don't you know Kareem? Which Kareem?

He is the son of Mr. Mohammed, the one who limps.

Oh, that guy. He may not look that great.

He has tricked a sheikh in Dubai and come back with millions.

I will introduce you to him.

Try your best to get him under your spell.

You're good at that. It may work out for you.

Hey! Do you have duck eggs?

- Duck eggs! Go to hell! - Hey..

Shanu, come here. Why do you even bother?

- Such a scoundrel! - Well..

We'll try to persuade Kareem. I will catch him someday. What?

Mister.. Do you have the spray? What? Do you have the spray?

What is wrong with you? We don't sell sprays. Go!

Where do they come from? Don't lie.

Everyone said that only this shop has that particular spray.

Take it, then.. Pal. Who told you that?

Everyone said the same thing. Let's go.

I will go insane. Get inside the shop. Leave.

Is it that kind of spray? No.. The other one.

Oh, the other one.. Pal.

- Which one? - The other kind..

That's what you want.

I will give it right now. You should have told it earlier.

This won't work.

Where is it?

I got it, it's here.

But it's slightly expensive.

- How much is it? - Rs. 1,000.

- How much is it? - Rs. 1,000.

What? It's too costly. Bring it down.

It will last long..

This is new. It will last an hour.

- An hour? - Here is the money.

How often should I spray? Spray it all.

- All of it? - Yes!

It will last an hour.. Let's go.

- Come on. - Leave for a week..

It's a painkiller, isn't it? His body will burn.

God sent him this way as He knows that I am broke.

Look.. I don't remember when I last saw a Rs. 1,000 note.

Now I know why.. Look. 'Thenmazha'.

Such movies have made them all perverts.

They didn't even check what they bought. Really?

Mr. Varkey, don't blame such movies.

Why not? Come on, I'll explain.

Do adult movies have such market?

Which era are you living in?

I had watched one such movie when I was in 10th grade.

10th grade? - 7th..

7th grade? - 5th.. - Enough.

If you have 10 lakhs to invest

you can earn 5 crores in a month.

- How? - I will explain.

- How? - I will explain.

This is another brilliant business approach of mine.

We go straight to Chennai.

We go there and meet Laila.

We make a movie with Laila.

We release that movie.

Money will shower on us once the movie is released.

Won't we get drenched? Keep quiet.

We will make a movie with Laila.

We will make millions.

Mr. Kareem.

'Kiliolathumbi' was made on a budget of Rs. 8 lakhs.

'Kiliolathumbi' was made on a budget of Rs. 8 lakhs.

Look.. How much money did it collect?

It's in crores.

Sir, the producers are making lots of money.

It will surely be a hit. It's a pleasure fest.

Here. She is the queen of this business.

She is the most bankable star after Mr. Rajinikanth.

- Isn't she? - Yes.

It's a great movie.

What a performance!

The theatres are still houseful even after months.

Sajitha, Reshmi, Bindu, Mariya.. Babitha. Babitha.

If you have any one of them, the movie will be a hit!

But have you seen Laila?

Not just Laila.. Reshmi, Bindu, Sajitha, Mariya..

They are very close to me. They call me Shanu.

Mr. Kareem.

Mr. Kareem.

The tickets have been sold out.

Black tickets are being sold for Rs. 150. Right?

The other superstars are shocked by the movie's record.

What would it be like without Prasanth and Laila?

The theatres would have shut down.

People are struggling hard to make a movie with them.

But since we know Prasanth, we won't have to struggle much.

Don't you know Prasanth?

The director of 'Kiliolathumbi'.

He introduced Laila. He is his cousin..

Sir, we can produce a movie with the help of my contacts

and make millions.

But all I have are contacts. I don't have money.

The ones with money will make money.

Kareem, all you have to do is invest Rs. 11 lakhs.

You will get Rs. 2 crores in one month.

We will share the profit equally.

As soon as the shooting is over, a deal will be made.

There are plenty of people in line for this.

That's why I asked you. Give me Rs. 12 lakhs.

I will take care of the rest. Shanu.

Are you telling the truth? I swear to God, I don't lie.

Also.. Telugu, Kannada, Marathi, Hindi, Chinese..

- Urdu. - Urdu.

You will get paid separately for all these languages.

There is no language barrier.

Well.. Then why don't the ones who make a deal produce it?

Do you know why?

- They won't get the dates. - Oh..

Since we know Mr. Prashant, we'll get it..

Right?

Oh, dear..

Oh, that's how it is.

If you invest 2 lakhs, we will produce a good movie

and make millions. That's all. It's very easy. Okay?

And make millions. That's all. It's very easy. Okay?

It's not just the money that you'll get..

But I don't have that much money with me, Shanu.

Even if I sell my wife's jewellery, I'll get only 5 to 6 lakhs.

I want you to manage the rest.

What if we sell the house? You can sell yours.

We will scale greater heights together.

Also.. I want something more than profit..

What is it? Look at the way they're staring.

Can't you wear something appropriate?

What is wrong with this?

This is not Dubai.

So?

What? Nobody wears such clothes here.

And nobody hugs while greeting like you do.

And nobody hugs while greeting like you do.

Such girls are seen in a different light.

Ambrose, you are impossible.

Don't be too possessive.

Why are you so bothered about others?

Candles for sale..

Here.

'Jesus, I am broke.'

'I will light it all when I have money.'

Hey.. I am going to produce a movie.

Don't be negative like that.

Get lost. Nobody cracked a joke here.

We don't have to invest crores for this.

It's a small movie.. Cut it. With Laila in it.

Jesus!

- Adult movie? - Yes.

It must be his idea, isn't it?

You may be broke, but you have your honour.

Don't do this.

You don't have to invest a lot of money.

Rs. 10 lakhs is enough. We will reap a huge profit.

The egg business that you suggested has given us enough!

You won't allow us to live, won't you?

Nobody is going to know about this.

I have found a few investors.

So, you are going to produce an erotic movie?

Yes, now I need to find a director.

Why look for someone else

when we have a talented director with us?

- Who? - You.

Get lost!

Movies have been my passion since childhood.

I won't make such movies!

Don't dismiss it by calling it an erotic movie.

Then what shall I say?

It's a sneak peek into the lives of common people like us.

The only difference is that we peek into their bedrooms.

Right? Such movie culture is prevalent in Europe.

Is it? He doesn't know much about Europe.

This isn't Europe. This is Kerala.

What about your idol, Mr. Bharathan's movies?

'Rathinirvedham', 'Aaravam', 'Thakara'..

'Tuition teacher'.. That isn't his movie.

Why didn't he? Ms. Rekha's 'Kamasutra'..

'Uthsavam', Deepa Mathew's 'Fire'.. What were these movies about?

It was erotica.

Tell him about Mr. Bharathan's movies.

What about his movie, 'Thakara'? It's a classic.

Nobody says that it's an erotic movie. No.

You should make such a classic.

With Laila? We can't get Aishwarya Rai.

What about the legends you talk about?

That guy.. Kurosawa, Polanski.. Roman Polanski?

I don't know his full name. It's Polanski.

What were there initial movies all about?

- It was erotica. - Come on!

Jackie Chan, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger..

They started their career with such movies.

Why go further? What about Madonna?

He does such movies on top of football?

It isn't Maradona, it's Madonna. Who is that?

Erotic. First, you will make movies with Laila.

Later, you will make movies with Mohanlal, Mammootty.

Aamir Khan.. You will be world famous soon!

Aamir Khan.. You will be world famous soon!

If it's difficult for you, use his name instead of yours.

What? Why do you want to use my name?

You can't use my name either. I am the producer.

I've decided that he's the director.

I am not experienced. I have only assisted in one movie.

That's more than enough.

Anyway, you are learning direction.

Yes, but.. We are there with you.

If we are out of options, we will copy an English movie.

Let me tell you.

Hey, people say certain movies have a Bharathan touch.

Now this one will have an Ambrose touch.

"Oh, beauty, please don't shed your tears.."

Another talent with a Bharathan touch..

It's time for movies with an Ambrose touch.

Ambrose touch.

Isn't he a kid? Will he be able to direct such a film?

Isn't he a kid? Will he be able to direct such a film?

Do you even need to ask?

Do you know who he is?

He has worked under great directors

like Kamal, Sathyan Anthikad and Shaji Kailas.

But he is so humble. Right? Yes, he is. Yes.

'Thenmazha', 'Thirumadhuram', 'Tuition Teacher'

'Driving School'. Have you seen these movies? - Shucks!

Then you must!

They are super hit movies that have grossed crores.

And who is the mastermind behind them? Who? It's him.

But his name won't appear anywhere. It'll be concealed. - Yes.

It's not a decent job, after all.

Right?

You know what?

I don't care about the means

I want results.

I need money.

Hey..

Tell him that.

Do one thing.

You owe Mr. Velayudhan Rs. 4 lakhs, right?

You owe Mr. Velayudhan Rs. 4 lakhs, right?

He'll invest Rs. 6 lakhs more. That makes a total of Rs. 10 lakhs.

You too must invest Rs. 2 lakhs.

Even you should be held accountable, right?

And we'll split the profit in half.

Rs. 1 crore for each of us.

If you agree with that.. Mr. Venu, get his signature on the document.

Here you go.

Shanu, Rs. 1 crore is guaranteed, right?

What is the storyline?

The storyline..

How does it matter, right? Exactly.

Who will be the heroine?

H-Heroine.. Didn't I tell you? It's Laila.

Not just her!

You must cast Bindu, Reshmi, Preeta and Mariya as well.

The budget will increase if it's a star-studded movie.

The budget will increase if it's a star-studded movie.

Shanu, I saw a film yesterday night.

It had all these beautiful women.

Oh, my God! It was a titillating performance!

Are there bath scenes? Of course!

There will also be mortar grinding, floor wiping and sexual assault.

- What do you mean? - Rape scenes.

Right, Ambro?

Y-Yes.. Yes, rape scenes. That's just great!

Laila will look good in a dhoti and red blouse.

That's great!

Where is the shoot location? Munnar.

- M-Munnar. - Munnar.

That's awesome! That's what I had in mind!

Right? - The cold will help intensify the hot scenes.

Got it!

- Isn't he the director? - Yes.

Is he dumb?

Say something. Don't just sit there like a statue.

I.. - He is weaving a story in his mind. I see.

We need some money in advance.

Don't you interview the cast before the movie? What do you call it?

Interview.

- Casting. - Yes, exactly!

Naughty! That's all he cares about.

Naughty! That's all he cares about.

Did you get it? Won't I be there on the interview panel?

Aren't you the panel chairman!

When will I get to meet them?

Just tell him what you want.

Be it Sajitha, Babitha or Bindu, he'll fulfil your wish. Right?

- Really? - Of course, he will.

Do they have full package deals? Yes, full package.

Full package deals? Yes. Oh, wow!

What about the advance payment?

Hand it over.

Here you go. Rs. 1 lakh.

The rest will be given during the shoot.

Done!

Shanu, sign this document.

Is that necessary?

Rs. 1 crore is guaranteed, right?

Of course. Right? YYes. Yes. Then sign it! Go on! Yes.

I have to join a gym tomorrow.

My back has become stiff.

My back has become stiff.

Getting a massage would be better. What?

You know, a massage. Really? It will do wonders.

- Yes. - Yes.

See you then.

See you.

This is like buying a wedding dress

without having a groom.

We have investors.

But where will I find Laila?

This is too much! What did I do?

Why did you pull me into this?

That was just the means to extort money.

Where will those ladies be right now?

They must be sleeping, right?

- Call them. - What?

Ask them where they are.

And who has their numbers? Jesus! Don't you even have that?

This is not a simple game, okay? It's a huge responsibility.

Trust me, don't take it so lightly.

I am running in fear.

Don't try to scare me more. Got it?

Oh, God! Help us!

Oh, God! Help us!

Mr. Sajeer! There's a call for you!

Have it.

"Don't be tempted.."

"The magic.." Who is it? Someone from your hometown.

"Don't be tempted.."

Hello, isn't this Sajeer?

Yes, it's Sajeer. Who am I speaking to?

Pal, it's me, Ambrose, from Ernakulam.

Who Ambrose?

Your mate in Maharaja's College.

Which college?

I was the one who gave your letters to your girlfriend.

Babitha. Don't you remember?

Who Babitha? Who Ambro?

I was handsome, fair, had long curly hair. But I've cut them now.

Don't you remember that we had shot an album in our final year?

Hello? Sajeer.

I don't know you. Who do you want? Check the number you've dialled.

Just tell him the matter.

Isn't this production executive, Sajeer? Yes, that's me.

I called you regarding a new movie production.

I called you regarding a new movie production.

Can you please say 'hello'? Hello.

Ambro, was it you!

- Oh, God! - That worked.

I get numerous calls every day from strangers. I have no idea.

Are you the producer? No, it's a friend of mine.

I am the director.

How did you learn to direct a film?

Nothing much. I learnt it through correspondence.

Oh, that's great! You'll do well!

Right?

Well, we would like to know more about the budget.

Let me get the producer on the line. Yes, of course.

Mr. Sajeer, may peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you as well.

Well, we are planning to cast Laila.

Oh, wow! Consider it done!

Come here with the money you have. Don't worry about the budget.

Got it? I'll take care of everything.

Call me before you come. Okay. Okay. Okay.. Thank you.

Okay!

I can't wait!

See you, Grandmother.

Shanu, perfect timing!

That's good. Everything will go well.

She'll get married two months from now.

We are here to invite you.

Why this formality? I've known her since childhood.

We'll have a blast at her wedding! Right?

I have to go now. Okay, see you. See you.

Bye, Mom.

Didn't you tell her the truth?

I'll kill you if you tell her anything!

If anyone asks you, tell them that I have gone to assist Mr. Kamal.

Didn't you tell anything to Sandra either?

Come here.

Should I fall

- at your feet? - Yes.

Okay.

Hold on. Oh, God!

Looks like a donkey's feet.

- Don't spend too much. - Okay.

Thank you.

We shall take your leave now.

See you. - Bye. - Bye.

Where are you off to?

- What? - Where are you off to?

- Madras. - Why?

I'll be with you until the shooting ends. Don't worry.

Didn't you promise to make me the chairman of the panel?

That's demeaning to you.

Why do you act like a child?

We are off to a new venture.

We'll call you once we set everything in Madras. - Yes.

Will you forget me, Shanu?

Stop being.. Stop being so silly.

Give me a smile.

That's enough..

Don't forget to get a massage.

See you.

Please stop.

Go on.

Why have you brought us here? How is it?

To visit the beach. - Anyone who comes to Chennai comes here first.

Is that so? - We go straight from here, right? - Yes, sir.

It's straight from here. This is Marina Beach, right? Yes.

Yes, sir.

We'll have something once we reach there, right? - Okay. - Okay.

Everything here is a perfect frame.

Look over there, sir. AVM Studios.

Wasn't there a studio here?

Balaji. - Balaji? It must be Ramoji Film City. That's in Hyderabad.

This is AVM.

- We are in Chennai. - Yes.

Are there two of them? No, just one.

Didn't we just see this? We took a Uturn.

Sajeer! How long has it been?

You grew a beard! You look handsome.

Even you'll look handsome soon.

Meet Sajeer.. I mean, the producer, Shahjahan.

Meet Sajeer.. I mean, the producer, Shahjahan.

May peace be upon you. Upon you be peace.

I have seen you in magazines. Of course.

- Krishna. - What?

- Krishna! - Yes?

- I meant him. - Krishnan? Hello.

- Hi. - Who is this?

- T-This is.. - Mr. Menon.

What? - Venugopal Menon, one of the producers of this movie.

How many producers are there in total?

Mr. Shanu is the main producer. Hey.

Take their luggage inside. He'll be your caretaker.

Take care of everything.

Take it. Go on. Get in.. Hello.

- Thank you. - Don't step on it..

Sajeer. Sorry.. You've got a nice place.

Don't step on it. You'll be cursed.

You are about to take a new movie.

Making a film is like building a house.

The foundation must be built first. In this case, it's the script.

He has some romantic thrillers with him.

Really? Show it to me.

Do you have anything against beef?

'Lolita', 'The Seven Year Itch', 'Basic Instinct'.

'Vaisali' is the main reference.

I am planning to adapt any one of them.

How much is your budget.

- Rs. 12 lakhs. - Rs. 12 lakhs.

- Rs. 12 lakhs. - Rs. 12 lakhs.

Rs. 12 lakhs.

Do you know the budget of these movies?

- How much? - Crores.

That too, at that time.

You can't create a masterpiece with such meagre amount.

That too, an inexperienced producer and director.

Are you calling him an inexperienced director?

'Thirumadhuram', 'Tuition Teacher', 'Driving School'.

He has created many such box office hits.

Are you talking about him? He knows nothing about movies.

Ask him.

Then why did you say that he was an assistant of Kamal and Sathyan?

I hope they don't hear this. When did we say that? Hey!

Don't try to fool me!

You had dinner with Laila, and soup with Mariya, right?

And you believed him! You are shrewd!

I can't let this happen.

Let me see how you make a movie.

Let me call Mr. Velayudhan.

Call him once you finish this.

Sit down..

Sit down.

Now, tell me.

You won't get Laila's date if you approach her with such stories.

Laila is a must. Only then will the movie be a box office hit.

Laila is a must. Only then will the movie be a box office hit.

Right? But we need a good writer for her to sign with you.

I am not interested in making such movies.

I dream of making a classic movie like Bharathan's.

This will be a masterpiece.

With Ambrose touch.

- Okay? - Hey!

Just shut up!

You are a fraud!

Sajeer.

I entrust you with this task. Do as you wish. - Okay.

How can you decide it alone? Be quiet.

Do you have any writers in mind? V. T. Shankar.

Oh, God!

This is nothing like Bombay Film City.

Have you been there?

No, but I want to.

Idiot!

We are almost there.

- Mr. Devan! - Greetings!

Come.

- Come on. - Hey, Sajeer!

- How are you? - I am good.

Tell me if you have any new movies. No, never.

Tell me if you have any new movies. No, never.

This is Hotel Amaravathi.

All our cine artists have been staying here for years. Come on.

There's nothing to worry about. Come in.

Hello. How are you?

Give him some change.

Who is that? He's an old choreographer.

He has even taught Prabhu Deva. Look at him now.

Thank you, sir.. Greetings, sir. Keep it.

Is Mr. V. T in his room? Yes, sir.

We need two rooms, please. Name, please.

Hey! - Book them under my name. Mr. Sajeer! Hello!

Greetings. Greetings. What are you doing here?

I have a shooting here. Body fitness. Keep running..

Hello, boys. How are you?

- Thank you.. - Be careful.

What is all this?

This is nothing like the hotels in Andheri.

How about we lower the back? It'll look like a bra.

- Hi. - Is this a factory?

Muthu. - Where is he taking us? The girls for the screen test..

Is this a screen test? Yes, sir. Okay.

So you can't just touch Laila.

The hero must die in the end.

He might or might not die.

See if the artists are ready. Greetings.

See if the artists are ready. Greetings.

But we need at least two bath scenes.

Only that will.. - He doesn't even bath. Such a serious discussion.

Don't mind him. Come.

Come on..

Oh, no! This place is too dark. They have lights.

Can't you stop all this? What do you mean?

- Sneaking into my house. - Oh!

That's thrilling.

Do you want me to be your secret lover, forever?

Let's not rush. Once this arts festival is over.

I will publicise our relationship.

Sweetheart.. You are my beloved.

Shankar!

She is an upcoming artist.

I was just teaching her the dialogues.

Isn't she good? Were you whispering the dialogue?

Meet Sajeer. He is an established controller. - I know.

Come in.

She is good. You may leave, Julia.

Hello. - What is it? He is the producer, Shahjahan.

He is the director. Ambrose.

I am Venu. Venugopal Menon.

I am one of the producers of this movie.

Hello.

He is the super hit writer who I was talking about.

V.T. Shankar.

- Which movies? - 'Thenmazha'.

Oh, I don't watch such dirty movies.

But your movie, 'Ladies Hostel'.. I won't forget it ever.

I have seen it eight times.

Me too..

The dialogues were beautiful.

How do you write it?

I am not the one who writes it.

- Someone makes me write. - Who?

Some mystic force.

The romance in your movie, 'Vaisali', was really touching.

MT was the one who wrote it, not VT.

Shankar, they need your best script.

Dear, they are all scripts. One will do.

But it must be a classic like 'Ladies Hostel'.

I only have classics with me.

Can I get a glass?

He said classic.

What is wrong with him? What are you doing?

Don't be childish. Can't I drink? Don't.

That's not a classic. Not that either.

That's not a classic. Not that either.

Yes, this is it.

It's a classic, you know..

- Who is the artist? - Ms. Laila.

Then this is enough.

It's a subject based on life in a metro city.

What is the story about? The story..

An innocent college student..

A girl who he loves unconditionally..

She cheats him.

He starts to despise all women after that.

He seduces women, exploits them

and gets rid of them!

This is the story of that innocent young man.

Good, sir. It's superb.

We can improvise a lot with this subject. Yes..

No wonder you receive so many awards.

I'm a living legend when it comes to such movies.

Well.. It doesn't have the quality that we want.

Sajeer, shall I tell my story?

My story is..

It's like 'Lolita', 'Basic Instinct'.. What?

Well.. 'Rathinirvedham'. 'Thakara'..

Well.. 'Rathinirvedham'. 'Thakara'..

Such scripts will prove to be a disaster.

We want the movie to be a classic and not pure erotica.

Isn't this your first movie? Don't talk too much.

I will give you a script.

Don't make a mess out of it.

Who is this guy? Shankar, he doesn't know you.

Hey, calm down.

He doesn't know anything about cinema.

And he is still blabbering.. Leave him.

Ask him to shut up if you need a good subject.

Shut up. - Let me tell.. Hey! Shankar, don't curse him.

I have an idea for a classic brewing in my mind.

A village is the premise..

That's great.

- Definitely. - Sure!

I will give you a thread.

And don't blame me for such high standards.

This is the story of a great sculptor

and his gorgeous models.

Shankar. Incredible. It will be a super hit.

It's the next blockbuster. Shanu, let's do this.

A model for each sculpture.

A model for each sculpture.

So, it's a total of 9 models. That's good.. Stunning.

I expect Laila and Reshmi in the lead roles.

Call them and block their dates. Okay. Well..

Shouldn't we narrate the story to them?

I don't narrate my stories. I only write them.

Shanu, give him Rs. 5,000 as a token of appreciation.

- Oh, Lord! - Okay then.

I will complete the script and let you know.

Okay. Come. - Okay. - Shall we?

Come on. But I have a suggestion..

Come on. Get started with your movie first.

Walk.. - Shouldn't we document how much money was paid?

Oh, Lord! I think I forgot something.

Give me my Rs. 2,500.

You are acting well.. Rs. 2,000 is enough.

But don't overdo it.

If they discard your script, you will be doomed.

Let me flatter myself in front of that lad.

Write something with whatever you know.

- I will be back soon. - Okay.

Give me Rs. 500.. Go.. I haven't paid the rent.

Just go!

I got it. It was my towel.

Oh, God!

Here.

Mr. Venu, call Mr. Velayudhan and ask him to send the balance.

Who? Velayudhan?

I won't call that scoundrel.

We are having this food with his money.

Yeah, right.

Do you know much he pays me for all my efforts?

I am ashamed to disclose it.

Let me exploit him somehow.

So, this is an act of revenge?

It's disappointing, Shanu.

The liquor is over.

I have been toiling for that guy for the last 15 years.

He has never given me a bonus or anything like that.

You know that blacky named Bhama, right?

You know that blacky named Bhama, right?

He has invested all the money in her name.

So, he is making this movie with her money.

He won't reach anywhere.

This movie will be a flop. Sir..

Don't say so.

Sorry..

Doing business with him is going to ruin you.

We have already started.

Please call Mr. Velayudhan.

Otherwise, this movie will stop midway.

Ask them to serve a pint.

Mister, a quarter.

I have already given him 3 lakhs.

Let them start shooting the movie.

Then, we will pay the rest.

Mr. Velayudhan, they are not what we think. Really?

They have strong influence here.

We just stepped out after having dinner with Laila.

- Lunch. - Lunch..

We'll have dinner this night.

What about the movie, Venu?

Oh, dear! The movie will be a hit.

It's a hit even before its release. I am certain.

Marvadis and Tamilians are already in the line to buy it.

No, Venu.

Don't give it now.

Let them complete the movie.

Then we will sell it for the best price.

Even if we sell it now, we'll make a huge profit. - No..

I will send the money today itself.

All right then. Okay..

That geezer doesn't know who he's messing with.

So, what about the money? It will be sent.

You will receive it tomorrow. Definitely.

Call him tomorrow. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Venu.

Ask them to serve another pint. Another one.. Come.

Julie..

Hi, how are you, sir? You are here, Raju.

I am fine. How about you?

I am fine, sir.

Raju, when are you going to Olympics?

- Next week, sir. - Okay.

Hey, Julie. Meet Mr. Raju.

Raju, this is Julie. Hello.. Hi, Julie.

Hello, sir. I know him.

I am his big fan.

We, Indians, are waiting for you to win

a gold medal in this Olympics

for 50 metres and 100 metres race.

We expect an Olympic record too.

I will do it for you, Julie.

Cut!

Shift to the bedroom.

- Is it okay, Velu? - Okay.

Sir..

Isn't that the creature we saw the other day?

Well.. Who is the director of this movie?

- Sanjay Jan. - Jackie Chan?

Not Jackie Chan, it's Sanjay Jan.

- Is he a Malayali? - No, a Brit!

Take good care, sir. You look like Mr. India.

- Hi, sir. - Hello, Sajeer.

When did you come? Just now, sir..

Sanjay Jan, don't you know?

Yes.. He is the one who made the movie 'Honeymoon'.

I will never forget that scene from it. Yes.

Right?

We are shifting. I will meet you later.

Okay. - Okay, sir.. - All right.

He has contacts in Hollywood as well.

Why are they shooting this dumb movie in English?

Can't they shoot it in a language that they know?

He doesn't know anything.

If it's shot in Malayalam

the certification board will cut the movie short.

It won't be if it's shot in English.

It's really easy that way.

It's really easy that way.

So, all of this is just fraud. Yes, a bit..

- Sajeer.. - Oh, dear!

Greetings. You got a new movie, right?

I came to know. Don't forget me.

I am photographer Kunjumon. Shahjahan.

- Kunjumon.. - Hey, come on..

Coming..

Ms. Laila.

Hold this. This is the producer, Shahjahan.

Greetings, sir. He is the director. Ambrose.

- Greetings, sir. - Greetings.

I am Venu, Venugopal Menon.

I am one of the producers of this movie.

We want you to be the heroine of our next movie.

- All the best.. - Heroine!

That too, in your movie.

Aren't you ashamed to stand before me?

You promised to make one movie with me

but you made three. You are a fraud!

Pal, what is this? I am leaving.

If I see you ever again, you'll be finished!

It wasn't just me. Driver! They did it.

She left. It's such an insult. Call her, Sajeer.

Let her leave! Who cares!

She is just a fatso! Who wants her!

We will get a lot of girls like her.

I'm glad that she left. Sajeer.

I had already warned you not to do such things!

It's not me..

Ms. Laila..

Laila is gone.

Shanu, we don't make these movies for people like Laila.

The producer is the most important for us.

They are the ones who feed us, not people like Laila.

Correct. It makes me sad.. What is happening?

I will find you ten actresses like Laila.

The one we are going to meet next..

She will be the one who is going to reign over Malayalam cinema.

You will see her.

If we go and meet her, we'll lose our respect.

Why can't she come to us?

What is this? Sir, she isn't such a girl.

She is from a reputed family.

She is least interested in acting in Malayalam movies.

She agreed only because Kala insisted.

Will her family create an issue? What?

If we go to her house, will they agree to it?

- What? - Screen test.

Such a dirty guy.. I will do the screen test.

I don't think that this is going to work out well.

Kinky desires of old men..

Yes, stop..

Kala! Hello..

Sir..

Get in the car.

- Don't mind anyone. - Get in.

What is wrong? Has he gone crazy?

What is wrong with me getting to know her?

This is who I was talking about. Kala.

Hello..

I am Venugopal Menon..

I am one of the.. That will do.

What is she doing? She is picking the stones..

Come on.

What is this?

Is this it? This is the heroine's mom.

Mom! She is her mom.

- Come in.. - Yes, please.

Come.. Is this the reputed family?

Come in. Step inside with your right foot.

Careful, sir..

Please sit..

- Sit here. - Sit.

Should we really conduct a screen test?

He is the director and he is the producer.

Is he the director? He is just a kid.

Where are you all from? Ernakulam.

Is that so? We too are from there.

We have a big bungalow over there.

Since she is studying here, we decided to settle here.

- Good.. - This bungalow is good.

- Isn't it? - Yes.

Serve it to them. Don't be shy.

They are our friends. What? He is the director.

Please drink..

Here, take it.

- What is your name? - Lakshmi.

Lakshmi Menon.

She belongs to your caste. Drink.

- Greetings, sir. - Greetings.

He is her father. - Oh.. - Him?

She just acted in a movie with actor Vijay.

She has been asked to act in a movie with Vikram.

But the story isn't that good. So, we haven't committed.

But the story isn't that good. So, we haven't committed.

Just a moment. Let me tell you something.

Take it.. - No.. Drink up. You will need it. - Careful.

Careful.. Oh, Lord. Come. You saved me.

Take it.

Please drink.

Is there a director called Siddique Lal in Malayalam?

You don't know, don't you?

Their movies are all blockbusters.

Whatever.. They are bothering us a lot.

They call us relentlessly. Why?

They want her to act in their next movie.

But for now, we are focusing on Tamil, Telugu and Hindi..

We won't get a lot of money if she acts in Malayalam movies.

But since Kala insisted..

It's a matter of 10 to 12 days.

If she can help you in reaping a profit, let it be. - Thank you..

It's an act of generosity. Do you get it?

Ambrose, come here.. I will be right back.

Ambrose, come here.. I will be right back.

Oh, dear.. She is such a blowhard.

I have never heard anyone brag like this.

She is asking for Rs. 50,000. Rs. 50,000.

- Isn't it too much? - Certainly.

It's just a matter of 10 days. Ask them to bring it down.

Or else, we will find someone else.

You won't get a girl more beautiful than her for such a movie.

And you will have to splurge money.

No further discussion. Let's fix her.

She will be perfect for you. Nothing will be wasted.

We can shoot a bathroom scene, a bedroom scene

and anything that we like.

Rs. 50,000 is not too much. We can use her well.

Sajeer, if they are okay with her, let me know.

What about screen test?

Give.. I will give it to her.

Why are you looking at me like that? My wish!

You are the one who asked me to check thoroughly.

Keep quiet.. - Come.. - Shanu.

I got the advance. Come. Should we pay this much?

I will bring the advance. See you soon.

Come, let's go.. All right then, sir.

We will meet during the shoot.

Okay.. - Bye. - Careful.

Now it's clear.

Give it here. Hey, take this advance.

We will discuss everything later.

After all, I made you a star.

I need Rs. 10,000 per day. Otherwise, I won't act.

For 'Run Julie Run', I got Rs. 15,000.

Did you charge for each kilometre?

He won't have to run. He just has to act.

Thank you.

Hey, come here. - What? - Come.

- What is it? - Come.

These worthless guys are charging Rs. 10,000 per day.

Don't you value money at all?

I can find handsome actors who won't charge a penny.

Why waste money?

Raju and Navas are the superstars of this industry.

Don't demean them like that.

They are loved by the youth.

If you get Navas to act in your movie, it will be worth it.

Nothing will go to waste. Why so?

Just shut up.

If they aren't there, there won't be any ladies.

Oh, really? As if ladies wait in line to watch erotic movies.

No.. I was talking about the heroines.

Which actress won't fall for money?

So, when is their screen test?

Shouldn't we check if they have any skin problems?

Shouldn't we check if they have any skin problems?

I have already checked that.

I have already decided on Navas.

You can take care of the rest.

We can't let inexperienced actors do this.

This is not child's play. The heroines won't accept it.

Then, you may get rid of Raju.

Shall I fix Navas then? Fix Navas. Navas is okay.

- We will fix Navas. - Hello.

Does Navas stay here?

He used to stay here.

Now I'd have to shift him to someplace else.

Scoundrel. Navas!

Cut!

Hold the camera.

Reshmi, superb!

Another close shot of your feet. What?

This is enough.

Ma'am, please pose for me.

Nothing to do, right?

Pose in a sexy way..

Is this enough?

Ms. Reshmi is in the shooting.

Hi..

She is here.

Sajeer, are you doing fine?

Yes, I am good.

He is the director of our new movie.

- Ambrose. - Hi.

Hi.

He is the producer of the movie. Shahjahan. Director..

- Hello. - Hi.

I am Venugopal Menon. One of the producers.

Hello.

I need your date for this movie.

- Sajeer, I am too busy. - Oh, no.

First, let me hear the story. And also my role in it.

We will discuss after that.

When did she start listening to the story? Well, ma'am..

It's Mr. V.T. Shankar's script.

V.T. Shankar? Who is that?

He wrote the script of 'Ladies Hostel'.

You got it, right?

She wasn't into listening to the story first.

Do one thing. Tell her the story.

What shall I tell her?

Mr. Shankar's script. Narrate that. I won't narrate that dumb script.

We have to make this movie. Yes..

- Definitely. - It must happen.

You can narrate any one of those classics.

Stand by my side. I am with you.

- Please sit. - No.

- Sit. - It's okay.

- Hello, I'm Venugopal. - No..

- No.. - Okay.

Narrate the story.

Well.. This movie is about..

Don't be tense. Narrate it in Malayalam.

This story's premise..

It's a hill station.

- It's cold out there. - Okay.

- You know how it is.. - Go on.

There is a sculptor.. A sculptor..

This sculptor..

He sculpts a lot of sculptures. Okay.

There would be a lot of sculptures..

Do one thing.

I need three fights in it.. Fight?

Why? Can't you do it?

I will add it.

How many bedroom scenes are in it?

Bedroom scenes?

There is a bathroom scene, right?

- Do you want? - No..

- Mr. Shanu! - What is it?

Looks like she fell for that director guy.

Boost my image in front of her. I will.. Please.

It's my wish.

Where are you going to shoot the songs?

Switzerland, right?

K-Kodaikanal..

No, Switzerland..

Who is the hero?

Kamal or Rajini?

Smile..

So, that's what the story is all about. Yes.

A sculptor, you say? Sculptor..

Pal, you put me in a fix.. Sajeer, I loved the story.

I will do this movie.

Do you like the story? Did you like everything about it?

Yes! I have never heard such a story.

- It's classy. - Really?

Let me know the schedule. Okay.

Sajeer will come to your hotel room and talk about the rest.

Hey, what story did you tell her to convince her?

I didn't tell her anything.. Hey.

I think she is in love with you. Love, really?

Stop ogling at her. Come..

Hello, did you reach?

I would have sent a car to pick you if you had informed.

I am still waiting for the car that you sent for the last movie.

Is it the same car?

Cut it. Just get here quickly.

It's all done. Our associate director has arrived.

- Who is it? - Narayanan Poti.

Pavizham Narayanan. Movies are his drugs.

What is it?

The movies that are being released nowadays have his name

in their credits, in colourful big fonts.

Chief Associate Director, M. K. Narayanan Poti.

And a huge round of applause follows.

Don't mind.. What the hell? It's okay.

He is valued more than the director in this industry.

Then what am I for? Let him direct it.

It's like clockwork. Everything will happen on its own.

Just hand over the script to him. He will give you the movie.

If there is any problem at the shooting location

he will put an end to it. The movie?

He will put an end to it. The movie?

Not the movie, he will put an end to the problem.

Are you bored? It's because you eat a lot.

I am Shah.. Venu.. Venugopal Menon.

I am one of the producers of this movie.

Sajeer, should I employ someone else

to get rid of these producers?

Poti, you are too funny.

I came here only because you called me.

Too busy that I can't even sleep.

Any sleep disorders?

Such fools find their way somehow.

Nobody knows a thing about direction.

Morons. You have enough money, right?

With me? Not with you, with them.

Haven't you told them about my rate?

Yes, they have enough. I have told them.

I am relieved now that you are here.

Don't flatter me.

But if the producer is out of money

when the movie is completed, don't blame it on me.

That won't happen.

- Krishna.. - Krishna!

- Krishna.. - Krishna!

What is it, sir? He called you.

Dear, take these bags to the AC room.

Go on!

I need to get some rest.

Please send that script to my room.

What?

Suitcases and whatnot..

He gets an AC room and the producers get non AC rooms.

I am going to thrash that guy.. Sajeer. Mr. Venu.

Send his away today itself. I will find another associate.

Just any associate isn't enough for these movies.

We need someone with a lot of experience.

That's why I called him.

He knows how to trick the censor board

how to shoot a bedroom or a bathroom scene..

Hey, do you know how to open a bedroom scene?

And how to shoot a bathroom scene?

Do you even know how to bath?

That's why I called him. He is very experienced.

Isn't he enough?

Yes, he is okay.

Do whatever you like. Count me out of this!

Do whatever you like. Count me out of this!

You forced me into this.. Did he go for a bath?

Who knows..

Shanu, have a drink. No, Mr. Venu.

Shanu, it's Mr. Kareem.. Oh, Lord.

Hello.. Great!

It's been a long time.

Have you started with the interviews?

Not so far.

Give me an approximate date.

I can book a ticket only then.

What about the gym and the massage thing?

Forget about that!

Give me a date. I will call you.

- You must. - I will call you.

There won't be any interviews without the chairman.

Okay..

Sorry, this wedding won't happen.

I am in love with someone.

Oh! Isn't he the one?

- Pay him Rs. 5,000. - Pal.

Else what? - Pal! - Laila!

You can't use my name for this movie.

What? You can't use my name for this movie.

What? You can't use my name for this movie.

- What is your name? - Ambrose.

It will suit a butcher shop well.

When did I get into all this?

Got it!

A. M. Rose. How is it? Great! Good.

Is it good as per his birth chart? It's perfect!

This name is a fortunate one.

- That's nice. - Dear Goddess..

First of all, I will read the storyline of the movie.

A beautiful village

under the envelope of snow..

That's where the renowned sculptor, Tharadas, lives..

Tharadas used to make beautiful girls his models.

The day he completes the statue

both the sculpture and the model became his.

- The statue is completed. - No..

You are mine now. You are mine!

I am a poor girl. Please spare me!

No.. Help me!

I am a poor girl. Don't snatch my honour!

Help! Help!

No, sir.. Don't come closer..

Stop!

You are too tempting.

But the renowned sculptor yearned

to sculpt his masterpiece!

One day, Tharadas saw an angelic beauty.

She was so beautiful that she put the angels to shame.

She was Bathsheba!

Bathsheba!

Bathsheba! How beautiful you are!

My hands are dying to transform

the beauty of your luscious body into a sculpture.

Come quickly, Bathsheba.

- Hurry up. - Cut!

Is it okay? Yes. It's okay.. Let him.

Mr. Narayanan, is the artist ready? A black tea.

- Is the heroine ready? - What!

Sir, give me 10 minutes.

- Is the statue ready? - It is..

Please arrange it.

Velu, shall we start with an opening shot

that reveals the sculpture? Yes.. No need.

What is the need of it?

We shall use a trolley and start with a wide shot. - No..

That's nice.. Just a moment.. Come.

Who is the director of this movie?

- It's you. - Right.

Then I shall decide how to shoot it.

Let's start. - I have been doing this for quite some time.

All scenes were shot as per my instructions.

Hey..

You were annoying me even before the shooting started.

I very well know how to shoot this movie.

Do you understand?

You are an associate. Stick to your job.

Production! Is the tea ready? Ready.

What snacks do you have today?

It's 'Bonda'. Please have tea and 'Bonda'.

We will get on with the shot.

Mr. Velu, shall we start?

We are ready. Ready. A 'Bonda' for me as well..

He will need me to shoot a rape scene.

I will teach him a lesson. Please move..

Please.. Let us shoot this.

Call the artist.

Please move the cloth.

Oh, dear. A pregnant lady.

Where is the art director? Art..

Great.. Here he is.

Is this the statue of Bathsheba, the embodiment of beauty?

Well..

Sir, look.. Look at that woman. She is Bathsheba.

Sir, look.. Look at that woman. She is Bathsheba.

Sir, she is here. What the hell..

- Sorry. - Thanks.

Greetings, sir.

The heroine is not the one who we chose. Then?

She is a fatso with a potbelly.

I won't make a movie with her, Sajeer.

She is no angel! This won't work out.

Sajeer, don't try to trick us.

Where is the girl that we met? Where is she?

What is the point in creating a ruckus?

Three days ago, when I called her mother, everything was okay.

When I went today to pick her up, nobody was there.

The neighbour said that she left to act in a Ram Gopal Varma movie.

- Whose film? - Ram Gopal Varma.

Who is it? Then shall I call him?

Do you know who Ram Gopal Varma is?

Who is it? We called several times.

The call never went through. But the shooting must be done.

Money will go down the drain.

- What is this? - What?

What the hell is this? What an ugly girl, man!

I have a standard of my own. My audience will expect it.

I will see you knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

He and his beard.. We will see. Yes.

Where did you get this guy?

Where did you get this guy?

You are the one who brought him.

Not him, the other one.

A bit of makeup will make her the angelic beauty.

Applying makeup won't reduce her pot belly.

What about the advance that we paid?

But.. She isn't picking up.

The call won't go through. But the shooting must go on.

The script is what is important.

Help him understand. Ask him to adjust.. Sajeer.

It's easy.. Don't mess with this, Sajeer.

- I will.. - Try to adjust, pal.

If we bicker over everything, the shooting won't be completed.

Sajeer has got other movies. What about us?

An angelic nymphet must have some beauty.

She must be youthful, at least.

She is a middle-aged woman who looks like my aunt!

Have you ever seen an angel? What?

I have seen them in my dreams. They are all above 40.

They look like aunts.

They all have pot bellies.

Just shoot the movie with her. No more joking around.

Well..

There is a lady near my wife's home who fits your description.

She might be the one you're looking for.

I am not swearing at you now since you are as old as my dad.

Count me out of this. Stop.. Listen.

Ambrose, help me complete this movie somehow.

Are you ready?

She is coming.

- Greetings. - Greetings.

Hello.

Is everything okay?

Mr. Velu, the artist is here.

Here? - Yes, there.. - Okay.

Ready.. Don't crowd in here. Get out of the room.

- Cash for the movie.. - Get out.

Velu, will he be in the frame? Yes..

Hey, I am talking to you.

Is that enough, ma'am? Me? Should I ask you separately?

Get out. Varkey, a scene is being shot.

- Please go out. - Get out..

You can watch her when the movie is released. - Hey..

What about the male artist? Who is this guy?

Call him!

Roshan! Where is the male artist?

- Focus on her. - Okay, sir.

Stop flexing your muscles. Put it down.

Sir, bless me.

This movie will launch you as the next superstar.

Thank you.

Someone sought my blessings for the first time.

He is a smart guy. He is like my brother.

He is a smart guy. He is like my brother.

Roshan, do what I say..

You must be romantic and subtle.. Romantic, you say! Okay.

- Be subtle, okay? - Okay.

Okay? Ready, sir. Did a rabid dog bite him?

Reshmi, ready. Ready, sir. Okay.

Okay. Please order, sir. Ready.

- Camera! - Rolling, sir.

Clap! - 55, 1, T-Take 1.

- Clap out. - Action.

Cut.. - What is this! Is he going to rape me for real?

Reshmi, don't shout at the director.

Sorry, ma'am..

Sorry.

- Oh, dear. - Ma'am, relax.

- How is it, sir? - Come here.

A superstar or a rapist! Who do you want to be?

A superstar or a rapist! Who do you want to be?

Calm it down a little.. Great selection!

Didn't I ask you to be romantic?

What did you do? He will do it. Come.

Be soft and sweet.. Cool down. Sit.

Cool down. Do it softly.

Explain it to him again.

Aggression won't work. Ask him do it with love..

Director, please demonstrate.

How will I demonstrate?

- I will show it. - No.. Sit down.

Sir, come on, demonstrate.

How will I do it? Hey, come here..

Demonstrate it once.

Or else, rolls of film will be wasted.

He might even rape her.

Do it, sir.

Sir, if you demonstrate once, I won't make a mistake.

No.. Move aside, sir.

Go on, pal.

- Come on, sir. - Do it.

- This won't work. - Come on.

It won't work. It will. Now do it.

Do it. Don't be afraid. Sit.. Wait, I can't..

Come on, dear. Watch and learn. Let's do it.

Roshan, you must sit beside her and touch her in a romantic way.

Touch her gently and feel the love.

Mr. Velu! Cut it. What are you doing?

Perfect action! Perfect shot!

It's all right, sir. Cool.

Maybe it's all right for you! But it isn't for me.

Move aside. What are you staring at?

What happened to him?

- Pack up.. - Okay, bye.

Come inside. - Bye. - Bye.

- Sir.. - Hey.

Let me ask something.

Shanu.. It's me. Kareem. Kareem.

Oh, dear.. I thought it was MGR himself.

Great attire. Where did you get it? No..

Enough of your flattery.

You conducted the interview without the chairman.

You even started the shooting.

I couldn't call you as I was too busy.

No.. Don't talk.

I want the interview. Interview?

Great attire. Now take the suitcase.

Do you have more of these attires? Yes.. Come.

I will fix everything. I want to see Reshmi..

"A girl as sweet as pineapple.."

"She is as sweet as dessert.."

"Her smile has driven everyone insane."

"A girl as sweet as pineapple.."

What took you so long?

Why are you silent?

Are you shy?

Shy? About what?

It was you! Where is your friend?

I thought Shanu would be here.

What is going on?

You are all dressed up, that too, at this time of the night.

- Isn't she here? - Who?

Anyone will do. I think it is Reshmi.

Shanu told me that. Disgusting.

Has he started this business too?

Really? Why are you ashamed?

I didn't see it on your face when you collected money from me.

Well.. It wasn't me. Shanu collected it from you.

He is a schmuck.

Come what may..

Didn't you sleep yet?

No, sir. Sajeer said that he will serve me a few drinks.

No, sir. Sajeer said that he will serve me a few drinks.

That's what I'm waiting for. Sajeer!

He is too busy.

He is teaching a song to someone.

Sir.. Can you get me a few drinks?

Me? Two drinks?

Allah!

Pour some more.

Is it a guy or a lady? It's a guy friend.

We studied together. What? B. Com.

Zoology.

The song?

It's A.R. Rahman's new song. Isn't it great?

- I didn't mean that. - Good song.

I can hear a song coming from the bathroom.

"Shall I sing a devotional song?"

Her timing isn't great when it comes to dancing.

This is just practice.

It's 11.30 p.m. You should sleep.

We have our shoot scheduled tomorrow morning. - Here. - Go on.

What is it, Sajeer? Didn't Kunjumon say anything?

Do you know what the time is?

I need to sleep. I want to talk.

We will talk tomorrow morning. That won't work.

I have to talk now. It's not for free. We paid you.

- I took money to act. - Act?

Who are you? Some Oscar winning actress!

Just get in! Mr. Sajeer, get out.

- Get lost. - What!

Come on. How long has it been?

It's been my wish for so long.

You will be the heroine of my next three movies.

Come on. Don't irritate me. Go!

- Please.. - Go away.

What is wrong? I am here for you. Please! Get lost.

Don't close the door.. My hand..

Hey.. Open up!

You will never make it in life. No wonder you are like this.

Do you know how hurt I am!

God will punish you for this.

No food for you since you disappointed me.

She will come to me when she is hungry.

She is coming..

Greetings, sir. Our job is not to wait for you.

Who do you think you are? A superstar?

I am not a superstar, I am a super dancer.

Mr. Producer, how was my dance yesterday?

What are you talking about? "Oh, God, help me out.."

I don't know anything about it.

No, Mr. Kareem. So, you danced with her.

I understood everything. You are enjoying alone.

Come to me asking for money.

I promise, I didn't.

Sajeer has given me a letter. A letter?

Ask him to find someone else to do this. Well..

What shall we do now? What is it?

What shall we do now? What is it?

What is today's problem?

That Mohan is a sadist. He did it.

Have you seen her leg?

That scoundrel put out his cigarettes on her body.

I can't shoot a movie in such conditions.

What is wrong with that guy?

Count me out of this. Do whatever you like.

Well.. Wait..

What shall we do?

Mr. Producer, don't worry.

- Who is that? - Cut.. Who is it?

Sandra.

Sandra!

Sandra!

Sir.. Cinema is not a field meant for making money

or sleeping with women. It's a misconception.

Cinema is an art

where the tears and efforts of people merge.

Take this movie as a lesson.

Don't do such movies ever again.

Hey..

You have people like me to do such movies.

You are young. You have a lot of time left.

Make great movies.

Leave all this. What say you?

Ambrose, you have committed a sin.

Is it a cardinal sin, my Lord?

You have consumed a forbidden fruit from the garden of Eden.

You won't be welcome in heaven. I made a mistake.

I banish you from heaven. I am sorry..

Oh, no..

Don't mess with me. I am not a Christian.

I said I'm not a Christian.

What is wrong with you? Please don't beat me.

- Sorry. - What is it?

Whip!

The three lakhs that I got from the loan shark Mathayi.

Such erotic posters are everywhere.

Movies with artistic value are getting destroyed

by such erotic movies that make millions.

The government, film industry and social activists

are keeping mum about this. Hey.. Just a second.

Cut. I didn't expect this from you.

Why? Shouldn't this be reported?

Yes, it must be.

Let Ambrose complete his movie first.

Let Ambrose complete his movie first.

What?

Sandra was here, wasn't she?

Sir..

I am ready. Shall we go for the take?

Sir, the shot is ready.

- Shall we? - Yes, ready.

- Let's start. - Okay, sir.

50 by One. Scene 1, take 2. Rolling.. Action.

You! - Oh, no! - How dare you!

What have you done? How could you be so mean?

Hey.. Please forgive me. Get lost! Pal..

- The thing is.. - Get lost!

This is why I insisted on an experienced actor. - Sajeer!

- Reshmi is leaving. - Oh, no.

She said she won't act in this movie.

It's a serious issue.

She is packing her bags. Allah!

If she leaves, I would commit suicide.

- Please solve it somehow. - Me?

Why should I? I can't do it.

You are the ones who did this.

She will listen to you.

We'd have to shoot everything once again. That's impossible.

Go and beg before her. I won't do that.

She might listen to Ambrose. You think?

Hey, come on. Talk to her. I can't do it.

We are already in a fix. We must get it done somehow.

Pal, it won't work out well.. Let's solve this, come.

She won't listen to me. She will. Come.

Go on. How will I face her? Talk to her.

Damn.

Reshmi..

The filming not happening is your problem, right?

You don't care even if the actors die, do you?

We, too, are humans. We, too, have worries.

Doing this before people like you doesn't give us happiness.

It's for a living.

I got into this.

Please don't trouble me.

Please leave me.

Reshmi, I'm not here to ask you to stay.

I know an apology is useless.

But still, I'm extremely sorry.

On behalf of everyone.

I apologise to you.

Wow.

Look at him lying there.

My end of the deal is still incomplete.

What about my thing?

Mr. Kareem, please leave for now.

- What? - We'll talk later.

I saw you coming out of Reshmi's room.

I won't let you enjoy her on your own. Share her.. - Get out!

Get out! I gave you money.. Get out of my face!

I gave you three lakhs.. Get lost!

- Give me back my money. - Idiot!

My money! Give it back! Give me my money back.

I'll teach you a lesson.

- He saw.. - Oh.

Hey! You're enjoying with my money!

I've been waiting for a long time

Hoping that I'll get something. Go.. And where is it?

I can't wait anymore. If you can't, say that.

And return my money.

Didn't you say he was here asking for a chance?

I don't know, sir.

Chance? Me?

Listen! I gave him Rs. 3 lakhs.

I'm yet to give the full amount.

But I'll not give you a penny more till my wish is fulfilled.

Wow, you're unbelievable.

Shanu, how many others have you taken money from?

Your offer to trap me was Rs. 1 crore.

So who are you?

I'm Venu.

Venugopal Menon.

One of the producers of this movie.

Didn't I tell you?

One of the producers.

- What? - Both.

Nice meeting you.

I understand now why my work isn't getting done.

Either my thing should be done.

Or I should get my money back.

Now tell me. Should I stay, or should I leave?

Leaving sounds like the better option. No! Make him stay.

Leaving sounds like the better option. No! Make him stay.

Do you do pimping as well? Gosh, no!

Bringing people together shouldn't be called pimping. Never.

I will. I'll call Mr. Velayudhan right away.

Let everyone know about your pimping.

- Don't mix everything up. - Pimp.

- No, don't.. - Wait!

Stop. Stop right there.

Will you tell them?

Will you?

Yes.

Glenfiddich.

Single malt whisky worth four grand.

I have it.

- Will you tell them? - No.

- Won't you? - No, I won't.

I know..

Thank you. It's a deal. Thanks a lot.

He mentioned a guy, Velayudhan. Is he another producer?

- Well.. - Mr. Kareem.

Reshmi is meant for you.

- Take a shower. - Yes.

Shanu..

Anything else, sir?

Yes. Don't call me sir.

Call me Kuttan.

Tell me, Kuttan.

It's time to close the kitchen.

Let everything be closed.

I can wait for you till then.

Come, Rose.

- Rose.. - Kuttan.

My Rose. - My Kuttan. - Cut!

Damn!

Ruined it!

What is it, sir? Is there a problem?

That.. There are some changes.

- Change? - Yes.

How about we change the hero first? What? Why?

- Why? - No reason.

There are some changes in the script.

Watch what I'm doing now. Okay?

Is this okay?

Can I hold her like this? Reshmi, stop. Please.

It's something else. I'll tell you. Okay.

Hand me the script.

'Scene 46. Restaurant.'

'In the dim lights of the restaurant'

'two lovesick people, Rose and Ravi, sit.'

'Ravi showers Rose, who is overflowing with emotions'

'with kisses.'

'Shuddering Rose.. Like two snakes'

'on the restaurant's table, they melt into one.'

'And then, her clothes fall off'

'flowing down like a river of love and lust.'

'Two bodies become one.'

Hey..

Action!

Anything else, sir?

Yes. Don't call me sir.

Call me Kuttan.

Tell me, Kuttan. The kitchen will close soon.

Let everything be closed.

I can wait for you till then.

I can wait for you till then.

You brute! Did you think all women are the same?

Bloody rascal!

- Was that okay, sir? - Yes, okay.

Mr. Velu, let's move to the next room. Okay.

Ms. Reshmi, some stills. Please pose.

Not now. I'm busy. Go.

Okay then.

"I'll give you a rose garland and a house of roses"

"I'll give you a rose garland and a house of roses"

"oh, lady, beautiful like the roses."

"Oh, beautiful, you're the pretty rose I was looking for."

"I'll give you a rose garland and a house of roses"

"oh, lady, beautiful like the roses."

"Oh, beautiful, you're the pretty rose I was looking for."

"Oh, beauty.."

"You're the pretty rose I was looking for, beautiful."

"Oh, beauty.."

"You're the pretty rose I was looking for, beautiful."

Good evening.

It's 'Muthuchippi' magazine.

Take it. - No. - Don't want it?

"Oh, my dear blossoming flower."

"Why did you stand alone?"

"Who were you thinking about?"

"Did you dream about me?"

"Why are you keeping all the emotions stifled inside?"

"Are you using the snow to heal your hurt feelings?"

"I'll give you a rose garland and a house of roses"

"oh, lady, beautiful like the roses."

"You're the pretty rose I was looking for, beautiful."

"Oh, beauty.."

"You're the pretty rose I was looking for, beautiful."

"You're the pretty rose I was looking for, beautiful."

"Oh, beauty.."

"You're the pretty rose I was looking for, beautiful."

"Oh, beauty.."

"You're the pretty rose I was looking for, beautiful."

"Oh, beauty.."

"You're the pretty rose I was looking for, beautiful."

Look at the two of you sitting!

The director and the producer!

I'll give you a taste of my fists!

It's not because I didn't find a sweet lass in Dubai

it's because I wanted to touch one from the cinema field.

Wasted my money..

You don't know what I'm capable of! Come to Kochi!

- I will not spare you. - I will..

Didn't I tell you he's a bomb?

He's not a bomb.

He's an atom bomb.

Shall we close the door? Yes. What if he comes back?

There was a slight increase in the budget.

So? You're not supposed to be in this with others' money.

So? You're not supposed to be in this with others' money.

Dragging others into trouble..

I can get crores here with a call.

But he should fall on my feet.

If so, it'll be here.

- It'll be here. - What will?

Crores.

Move a bit. Or else, it might fall on your head.

All right? Crores, my foot.

One.

Two.

- Three. - Three.

Keep it coming. Four.

Five. Go on.. Six.

This is not for safekeeping. What?

You're supposed to give me cash.

Money..

If you won't pay the batta, you can forget the unit.

Fine then. We've no money for food, and you want.. - What is this..

Take it! Saw that? Sir, money for.. Money?

Yes. - I have no money! - See?

The producer is over there.

I just called. Talk to the producer. Am I supposed to pay you?

I just called. Talk to the producer. Am I supposed to pay you?

He has.. Shajahan has built a Taj Mahal..

I'm broke. Try to understand.. Talk to him!

I've set everything. Ask him!

There's no point asking me. Ask him. Go.. What..

What a bother.

My dear Shanu

don't even expect a single penny from me.

That's a no-go, too.

It'll be fine.. I can't talk to her about.. You can..

- Stay here.. - Go!

What is it, sir? There's something..

- I had something.. - Come in.

Tell me, sir.

I..

Well..

How..

How..

- Is there a problem? - I..

Well..

Your salary..

The financial situation is a little tight.

You'll get your money.

But not right now.

- It's okay. - What?

It's okay?

When will I get it? Before the movie is finished.

What is the guarantee?

Guarantee..

I'm just kidding.

That's all right. It is, isn't it?

It's okay for you, not for me!

That's because.. The sudden hug.. I accidentally said it.

- Sir! - Yes?

- I'm beautiful, right? - Yes.

Why are you like this?

You're the only director

who's not asked me to sleep with you.

Why? Don't you like me?

Do you like me?

Yes.

Don't joke.

You're saying it so that I won't come for money tomorrow.

- No. - Then?

I..

What are your future commitments?

I've agreed to do about five more movies.

Are all of them movies like this? What else?

I mean, can't you do some good movies?

Why are you doing a movie like this?

No, I..

Forget that, sir. That's my fate.

You'll come for the shoot tomorrow, right? Don't worry!

I'll definitely come tomorrow. Okay? Okay. Go, sleep.

I'll definitely come tomorrow. Okay? Okay. Go, sleep.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Go and sleep, sir. Goodnight.

- Okay then. - Bye.

What is it, sir?

Actually, I.. Do you have something to say?

There's something.

Love?

Do you love me?

Yes.

Goodnight, sir.

Once a sculpture is completed

the model and the sculpture

will belong to me! Please spare me..

- Please spare.. - Come here!

Hey, you!

Hey, you!

Rose! The flower rose!

My old sculpture.

Why are you here?

To kill you!

An artist never dies, Rose.

Once, I'd begged you to spare me just like her.

But you..

I'll not let you have her, Tharadas!

Tharadas always gets

what he wants!

Come here! Please leave me, sir..

Tharadas!

Slash!

That was Reshmi's last scene.

Oh.

Okay.

- Okay. Bye, sir. - Okay.

Bye. Okay.

Oh..

- Bye, sir. - Okay, dear.

Bye. - Bye. - Bye..

Did you notice what I did with my eyes right before

Did you notice what I did with my eyes right before

the scene where I died?

- It was really too much. - What?

Hey, did you settle the unit's bills? The unit's?

Yes. - None of them have been paid. Neither was the rent.

Do you know how much it is? How much is left in this? Give..

My dear Sajeer, give me some time.

Mr. Sajeer. Mr. Producer.

I'm leaving. Bye. Thanks a lot, Ms. Reshmi.

I'll send the money to Chennai.

We're in a bit of a cash crunch. That's all right.

Okay? See you. Thank you. Bye.

- Thanks, ma'am. - Okay..

Bye!

Hey, how much is this?

About Rs. 27,000..

Give it to me. This is for the hotel. Give it!

- Hey! - Hey!

Reshmi!

Sorry!

It's not the whole thing. It's Rs. 3,000 less.

That's all right. Thank you.

Bye.

This is perfect, sir.

- Seriously.. - No, I..

Don't laugh!

Can we cut this out?

The work won't continue if you don't send money.

There's 30 sovereigns. You know, right?

This is my daughter's life.

Don't worry, Mr. Nazar. I'll return it before the wedding.

After all, I watched her grow up.

Can I get a cover?

Here.

I'll return what I took earlier and this in a couple of weeks.

Is this gold?

Why? Do you want it?

Isn't it cold..

Oh! Isn't this your wife's nuptial chain?

Yes. It's okay.

I was just asking.

Yes, Sajeer? I've sent the money.

- Yes. - Everything is here..

Here.

Okay.

What is this?

It's in perfect condition. It'll cost you only four grand.

How about a litre of petrol?

It's already filled. No, to burn it down.

Get lost.

Look, sir.

This is the second film. A Malayalam film.

Laughter and everything.. Yes..

- This.. - Next is the bath scene.

The bath.. Yes.. Water and everything..

The bath.. Yes.. Water and everything..

That's all.

The album is all right.

Show us the film.

The two love birds who flew in blissful love..

Today, those beautiful precious moments

are but memories.

Rose. Will Kuttan still be waiting for you?

I don't know.

Kuttan..

Kuttan.

Rose..

Kuttan..

"I'll give you a rose garland.." Rose! "...And a house of roses."

Kuttan! - "Oh, lady, beautiful like the roses."

Kuttan! - "Oh, lady, beautiful like the roses."

"Oh, beautiful, you're the pretty rose I was looking for."

"Oh, beauty.."

"You're the pretty rose I was looking for, beautiful."

"Oh, beauty.."

"You're the pretty rose I was looking for, beautiful."

Come. Let me talk to them and make a deal.

So, shouldn't I stay? You can be over there.

We'll get 4 crores, right? Let me see..

One minute. Come. Go over there. Let me talk..

Stand over there.

What do you want?

- Go! - Come here. Walk.

- Yes? - Oh, gosh.

There's something. Come. I'll tell you.

I'll be right there. Go.

Listen. What's the problem? Wasn't Reshmi great?

Reshmi was awesome. That's what I said.

Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi..

You can definitely make at least 3 crores.

- We ask for just 1.3. - Sajeer

- We ask for just 1.3. - Sajeer

we'll agree to 90 lakhs.

No, that's too less!

What the.. Hey, the movie is superb.

Didn't you just see it?

Right? Yes! Think about it and let us know.

Yes, I will. Do that. Let me think.

- What happened? - What else?

You'll be shocked to hear their offer.

- How many crores? - Crores?

Get in the car. We'll find someone else.

They quoted too less.

Come on, get in, everyone. But..

What happened? I'll call you later.

- Get it increased.. - Okay..

Okay?

What happened? Get in, I'll tell you. It's too bad.

It's unbelievable. I felt bad.

Come on. Let's go.

With the other languages and rights, Rs. 14 lakhs is the best you'll get.

14 lakhs for a movie that took 25 lakhs to make? Don't joke!

Don't worry, Shanu. We'll get George to talk to them.

Didn't you say you'll get us Rs. 2 crores before the shooting?

And now? - You will get crores, but the movie should be such.

What's wrong with the movie?

Didn't you get your star writer to write the script?

Didn't you make it a mess by changing it? What mess?

Mess.. Is there a bath scene? A bedroom scene?

At least, a rape?

How many times did I give him the list of what should be there?

And did you film any of it? Salomi grinding..

Salomi, my foot! Everyone saw the beauty you brought!

Forget Salomi. What about Reshmi whom we paid?

What did you do with her?

Her bedroom scenes would've given many people sleepless nights.

But of course, he fell for her.

This is probably the first movie where she was an angel.

I didn't feel like shooting it like you wanted it! This is my movie!

This is all I can do.

If the film doesn't get certified as A, you can consider this hopeless.

He's a crooked guy. I've told you a thousand times that he's a thief.

Don't you dare call me a thief!

Didn't you swindle all the money by blowing up

the budget for the movie unnecessarily, you rogue?

Will your dad pay the rest of the money?

No one has abused my dad because of me. Someone should have.

You're not the producer! This fly is.. I mean, this guy is!

Ask him to get lost! Who the hell are you to do that?

Hey.. Ambrose.. Leave him. But he..

The movie is over, isn't it? I'll handle the rest.

You can go.

- But, Mr. Shanu.. - Go!

Gosh.

Mr. Suresh, did they give you the key?

They left. Don't you know? Where to?

I don't know. It's been a few days.

Guys like him spoil the new generation.

He shouldn't be beaten black and blue. Director, my foot.

He didn't even think about his sister. Shameless.

'Widespread protests against adult movies across the state.'

'The actors' and women's associations'

'of Kerala are leading the protests.' - Shanu.

'The movies that destroy the values of..' - Are we in trouble?

'The Minister of Cultural affairs, N A Hamsa, was given a petition'

'to impose a ban on such movies by the protesters.'

'The petition to ban such movies was..'

What's their problem? Switch it off, Varkey.

Mr. Shanu

you can expect raids over raids.

You can expect raids over raids.

Let's sell the movie right away.

We'll talk to George and get at least Rs. 10 lakhs more.

Give it to them.

Okay. We'll do that.

Mr. Velayudhan, they sold the movie for Rs. 3 crores.

Varkey

they reduced two more lakhs.

Oh, God, it's dated for next month.

So, what about Nadira's gold?

Mr. Nazar, what can I do?

It's been a month since I got any news about him.

It's been a month since I got any news about him.

What's the point of blaming you?

I helped him because he's my best friend's son.

I gave him the gold I got by pawning my house!

If Nadira's wedding doesn't happen on the day after tomorrow

it'll be my family's funeral!

Oh, God! He'll be responsible for all the deaths..

Shanu!

Hey!

Mr. Shanu, how long can we keep hiding?

I don't know. There goes that devil.

Roshan told people about the film back home, but he spread the news.

He's coming this way. God! He saw us. Walk..

Hey, buddy! - Damn. - Perfect. Everyone'll know where you're soon.

Let's escape.

Buddy, great job! Congratulations!

The movie is a hit! Good job.

I've been waiting to get a hold of you..

How big a TV do you want? I don't want anything..

Tell me.. Tell me! Say it! No, the movie is a hit!

Tell me.. Tell me! Say it! No, the movie is a hit!

- What? - The movie is a hit.

- Really? - Yes.

The movie is a hit.

Oh, God.

Sorry, man.

You can go. Wait, are you serious?

Yes!

The movie is a hit!

"With a smile.." 'An artist never dies.'

"Beautiful.." 'He can only create.'

"The superstars are here to welcome you all."

"Someone beside me.."

"Someone to congratulate.."

"Is it true?"

"Is this world mine?"

"Am I here or am I in the skies?"

"Tell me if I'm in heaven, God."

Ambrose! Where have you been?

I looked everywhere for you.

What's this? Your movie is a huge hit!

Who are you now?

Who's Ambrose now? The producers will fight over you.

Give it to them. Yes. Give it. Let's not waste time.

What..

Do you know what it is? It's awesome. Keep it.

Consider it the advance for the next movie.

Ambrose, give the money back.

- What? - No thanks, Sajeer.

I owe you money.

It's all right. I forgot about it. We have a new film now.

Forget it, Shanu. It's all right. But we can't, can we?

Isn't it unfair to not return it even after the movie was a hit?

The money has to be returned with interest.

Yes. - Right? - Yes.

On top of cheating us, you want to make a mockery of us..

What the.. - You.. - Move..

I must beat the life out of him..

- Don't.. - Out of the way!

No, my wig! It'll fall off!

No, my wig! It'll fall off!

- Run! - Stop!

Wait.. You.. That's enough.. Laila!

Bindu!

Reshmi!

Come..

"A knot that can't be untangled.." I will.. Don't hit me!

VT Shankar! If you even try to cheat someone again

I'll kill you! Understood?

You!

"The black shadow.."

"With the traps.."

"The black shadow.." Take it and get lost, you weasel!

Hey..

"Kochi is a small town.." - You!

Mr. Shanu!

Run for your life! Hey! My crore!

Get them!

- Shanu.. - Oh, God!

- He.. - Out of the way! Get lost!

What is this..

Why is everyone hitting me? Where did..

Where did they go? That way. Okay.

- That way.. - Come on!

"The heart is throbbing.."

- Hey.. - Don't spare them..

- Hey.. - Don't spare them..

Oh, no, the gate is closed! Run..

- Oh, no! - Hey!

- There he goes! - Run!

- Where is he? - He went that way!

Come on! Let's catch him!

Greetings, Mr. Nazar.

Just having some fun.

If you don't run like this..

Like how Mammootty said in the movie 'Big B'

Kochi is not the same anymore.

Malayalam movies are not the same.

Sunny Leone replaced Laila.

When on one side, a lot of theatres were shut down

on the other opened a bunch of those sites.

Porn.

I wonder where those ideal citizens

who protested against adult movies back then now are.

Everyone was satisfied after they ruined our lives.

- Happy.. - Anyway

because of the adult moviedom, people like Sajeer thrived.

Because of the adult moviedom, people like Sajeer thrived.

I suppose he still plays his old games.

- Ticket.. - And then, Mr. Venu.

Ticket.. Well?

- Where to? - KP.

What?

Kerala Police.

Sorry, sir. Nothing to worry as long as he can talk.

- Ticket.. - He'll survive.

After 'Rosapoo', Ambrose and his family moved to Chennai.

Ambrose is working on his new movie now.

Sir.. Sorry, Ambrose. I made you wait. Sorry.

It's all right, sir.

When you have great actors and stars in Kerala

When you have great actors and stars in Kerala

why me?

You're right, there are great actors there.

But

I see the character I want in you, sir.

What gives me the confidence is that

there's something special about Malayalees.

They'll accept good stuff when they see it.

When I see your dedication

passion towards movies

and sincerity..

We're doing this project. Thank you, sir!

Mr. Shanu! How did it go, Ambrose?

- Did you get the date? - Yes.

Awesome. Wonderful.

Ambrose, we'll do this movie.

I know a sheikh who'll invest Rs. 100 crores.

Sheikh Al Maktoum.

God!

Hello?

Hello?

I hope you haven't forgotten the past.

Why are you silent?

Because of your stupid movie, all the gold is gone

Because of your stupid movie, all the gold is gone

and my daughter didn't get married.

Who'll marry her now? Tell me!

Who'll marry her?

Shall I marry her?

"For the wedding.." What did you say?

I mean, you can consider the gold as dowry.

Right?

Don't you dare go after movies again.

If I do?

You'll have to marry again to settle that debt.

I can't not marry if I don't give the money back.

What! What? Will you marry again?

- Yes, I will. - Whom?

"That ship.." - Your mom.

"The prince who arrived in it.."

'The police arrests renowned actor Reshmi.'

'She's been charged with the murder of two men.'

'Most of the movies she'd acted in'

'used to attract huge crowds to the cinema.'

'The actor who was to act in a movie'

"Bypass' by a new director, Vipin Das'"

'was a victim of attempted rape by the director and his friend.'

'Amidst the rape attempt, the actor stabbed the men'

'Amidst the rape attempt, the actor stabbed the men'

'with a knife in the room in self-defence.'

How much do you charge, hottie?

Shameless rascals.

Does being an actress

give you the right to harass and play with her!

What she does on the screen is her profession.

Would you do the same if it was your sister or mother!

If you so much as think

about touching her, or treating her as a prostitute

I'll gut you like fish.

Congratulations, Ambrose.

- Here. - Give it to him.

- Here. - Give it to him first.

- Here. - Give it to him first.

Thank you.

Aren't you going?

Ambrose!

Ambrose!

I'll be right back.

Thank you. Sajeer put us in a new fix.

It's a video.

"With a smile.."
