Original subtitles

Will at least a prawn fall in the fish bait?

Hey, pull it up.

Pull it with force.

God, is it a crocodile? - No, it is a Sulthan fish.

Pull it up.

Wow! How big is the fish!

This is actually nothing.

Horn shark bigger than this has been pulled up.

You pulled it up? - Not me, but my friend, Moosa.

During a thunderous monsoon rain,

it was a horn shark that fell in his bait.

Moosa...

Moosa didn't give up. The shark!

Finally, the shark moved swiftly with the bait.

Moosa...

Then, did you find his dead body?

Not only the shark, but also its

dad will surrender in front of Moosa.

You are lying.

What do you know about Moosa?

How long has it been since you came to this place?

Four... no, five years! - Who do you think Moosa was?

Moosa.

Don't you believe what I said? - No.

Back then, it was on this bicycle, Moosa and I,

took it to Ponnani market, and sold it to Kunjumukka.

For how much?

I remember eating a tummy full of meat and porotta that day.

Ate Porotta and meat for all the money

you got for 150 kg of shark?

It's with the remaining money that I bought this petromax.

I can see the petromax.

But where is Moosa?

He left the place.

Where did he go?

To catch fish...

No, to fight for the country.

Asking unwanted questions and making me confused.

You may go.

I'll come after sometime.

As if we don't know anything about your love.

Where are you looking at? - I'm sorry.

Let it be here, okay? I'll be back in no time.

Amina...

What a dedicated practice!

I wasn't practicing.

I was teaching new styles to those guys.

Style, it seems! I saw you messing up everything.

What is it for? Namesake?

It's for your dad, Moosa's memorial program.

Waste time beating on the drum, okay?

You won't understand it even if I explain it.

Take the case of Rahman bro, who was just a local drummer.

Do you know who he is now?

Fish seller? - Phew!

I'm talking about A.R. Rahman.

Wait and see for yourself.

I'll also become a great percussionist like him,

and I'll also get Oscar one day.

You don't even have money to buy an underwear.

That's when you are dreaming about Oscar.

First, pass your back papers and try to land a job.

Leave that topic.

He was truly a great personality, wasn't he?

You mean, A.R Rahman?

No, I'm talking about Moosa.

Why did you ask? - Just asked, I haven't seen him, no?

Lance Naik Muhammed Moosa 19th Death Anniversary.

Stop!

29 long years!

It's 19 years.

19 long years!

I can't even believe it.

I can't disbelieve it either.

Moosa became a martyr not for himself,

Not for his own brother,

Not for his wife or family.

But for this country. For the people of Maloor village.

For the people of Malappuram.

If I explain it further,

it was for our own country

that Moosa gave up his life courageously,

in front of the Pakistan fighter tank.

Ice! Ice! Ice lollipop!

Selling ice while I'm talking about the dead?

Get lost, you!

I often remember that,

Back then, if the Pakistan army had just missed its aim,

our Maloor village would be nowhere in the map.

You know, Vaidyar...

He had a perfect aim.

He finished off 7 Pakistani soldiers in a row.

She is talking about Pakistani soldiers.

He was killed by throwing bomb at him.

The Pakistani soldiers didn't have the courage to confront him.

A lot of our soldiers are being killed day by day,

from the firearm shooting of Pakistani, Chinese,

and Nepali soldiers.

Just think about the pathetic situation.

Pakistan, who is like a twin brother for India.

They vent out all their frustration on us.

Don't we have to stop it?

Don't we have to stop it, brothers?

Stop your boorish speech and go. We have better jobs to do.

We wouldn't consult a Vastu expert before building our house.

Later, when there is a problem, we consult him.

Then, he would say that,

You must change the position of your kitchen in the north,

and cover the well on the east.

That's what.

If someone creates a problem inside our house called India,

we must blindly pull off the latrine called Pakistan

that lies in the west.

Clap your hands, come on.

Don't we have to pull it off?

- Do we have to pull it off? - Yes, we should.

When I'm the president of Maloor Panchayath...

A soldier is like an elephant.

What?

Alive or dead, he is hailed all over the country.

It's not just for Moosa who has become a martyr,

but for our own country.

Go and check what happened.

Sit! Sit!

Stop the music.

Okay, let's go.

"Wearing a scarf knitted by the chirping birds"

"Adorned by the bangles gifted by the sea."

"The village looks so beautiful draping a saree."

"She applies kohl by stealing black from the night."

"The river flows, plating her long hair."

"The village looks gorgeous with kohled eyes."

"A village full of witty chats, laughter, and music."

"A village that spreads love that is honey-like."

"The ray of hope of Malabar."

"The beauty that is looked upon by the red sky across."

"As days pass on, the place becomes more and more stunning."

"Like a lovely woman."

"Wearing a scarf knitted by the chirping birds"

"A village that spreads love that is honey-like."

"The ray of hope of Malabar."

Aunt, is food ready?

Why tapioca?

- Is there no rice here? - Who?

Nothing.

How did he become your friend?

Who are you talking about?

Moosa.

Why did you ask so?

I delivered him to his mother.

If anyone utters Moosa's name, that is audible to her.

Wasn't I delivered by you?

He was a 'BOY'.

He wasn't a fool like you.

You being thick friends, why only Moosa joined the army?

He didn't have any plan to join the army.

In fact, he was hijacked.

Who hijacked him? - Our Mamooty.

You mean, actor Mamooty.

Yes, actor Mamooty.

Is there an old movie,

where he comes in a police outfit with a big mustache?

Inspector Balram? - No, that was after this movie.

'Aanaval'.

It is 'Aavanazhi'.

100 days celebrations of that movie were going on

in Central talkies, Tirur.

The theater was houseful even on the 100th day.

100 days celebrations of 'Aavanazhi'.

I.V. Sasi.

'Our loving actor Mamooty will reach here soon.'

I was standing in front of Ravi's cycle shop.

To hire a bicycle.

During then,

getting to see a film star is a matter of luck.

That too, a superstar like Mamooty.

First, some actresses came.

Nalini, Geetha and... some others...

Then, came a guy who is as tall as a coconut tree.

Our Captain Raju.

I was searching all around.

Mamooty wasn't anywhere there.

I don't know what happened.

Suddenly, the stage started falling down.

The police started beating the crowd badly.

When the lathi was swished at me,

I caught it with all my strength.

The people, being thrashed badly, are running for life.

That is when we saw a guy lifting up the fallen stage

on his single shoulder all by himself,

like Lord Hanuman.

Look at my hand.

When I think about it, I get goosebumps.

You may stretch it a bit,

but not too much, okay?

- I'm telling the truth. - Then, what happened?

A cutting knife was bought from the mill next to it,

and the iron rod was cut.

A piece of the rod is still there in his hand.

Captain Raju took Moosa to hospital in his own black Ambassador.

What about the actresses?

The actresses hired an autorikshaw,

and went for your father's marriage.

Listen to what I'm saying.

On reaching the hospital, Moosa was taken to the operation theater.

My body was shivering badly,

and I started walking to and fro in front of it.

Suddenly, someone caught me from the back.

It was Captain Raju.

He told me that...

He came to me because he knew that I was Moosa's friend.

He told me that,

Your friend, Moosa is not a person to be rotten in Tirur town.

Instead, the country needs him.

He took a train ticket and gave it to me.

That was a ticket to travel from Tirur to Delhi.

Because of your bragging, even the

fuse in the house has been blown out.

Why there is a power cut at this time?

Come here.

Mithun, sir.

Madam, I've already told you.

There is no use of making a hullabaloo here.

Don't you know any detail of it?

I've been wandering like a dog for the past 19 years.

We don't know anything, Madam.

Throw away the beedi.

- Go away. - I want to meet Sir.

Isn't it"Hello...

Lance Naik Muhammad Moosa.

19th death anniversary.

Dear, Naik Moosa, Do you know something?

It has been 19 years since I wet my throat

with a drop of military liquor.

19 long years.

There's no use standing on the road wearing sackcloth,

and a machine gun in the hand.

Instead, shoot and kill the scoundrels of this place.

Come on, kill them!

You can't, right?

Okay then.

Jaihind!

Thami...

Yes, tell me.

Hey, Thami...

- Who are you? - It's me.

Moosa.

Which Moosa?

Moosa!

Your buddy, Moosa!

Alas! Ghost!

I'm your Moosa.

Don't run.

I'm your old friend, Moosa.

Run for life. Dead Moosa is coming to kill me.

Stop there.

I told you to stop running.

Don't make me run.

O' Thami...

Don't kill me, dude. I said it just for fun.

Said what?

To shoot and kill the scoundrels of this place.

What's in your hand?

Don't come near me, Satan.

This is a rosary.

A rosary doesn't differentiate

between Hindu ghosts or Muslim ghosts.

Get lost, Satan. Get lost!

I'm not a ghost.

I am Moosa. Moosa who is alive.

I have both hands and legs.

Just come here, you dumbo.

Wear it.

So, hadn't you died?

No.

Why didn't you die?

I'll tell you, come.

Has he died again?

Sir, Moosa Sir.

Moosa Sir.

Sir.

Hey.

I'm starving to death.

I'm Thami. Don't eat me.

I know that, you pig!

Can I get something to eat?

Yes.

Oh, my God!

Beggars right in the morning?

Nobody here, come later.

Suhara.

Oh, my God!

A beggar who knows my name?

I'm Ikka (brother).

Whose brother?

I... m... Moosakka...

It has been 20 years since he died.

Is it now are you coming for him?

I'm your brother, Moosa.

Moosakka.

Meeran.

Moosakka.

Don't make noise and let everyone hear it. Don't bawl.

I saw him.

Shut your mouth. I know that.

Moo... Moosakka.

Shut your mouth.

God, how will I handle him now?

- Sura. - Yes.

- Not today. - Why?

I have some work.

You don't have to climb the coconut trees with me.

You may do your work. - Come tomorrow. You may go now.

If so, couldn't you just make a call to me?

Just to waste others' time.

Oh, you have got guests today?

I'm not a guest.

I belong to the family.

I'm not free for 2 weeks, okay?

Good.

"Malayali young men who went to Iraq to join ISIS were killed."

Our Saddam (Hussein) in Iraq, no?

He died. Finally.

Has Saddam (Hussein) come along with you?

Yes, all the dead people have come here on tour.

You can open your mouth inside the house.

Don't let the people notice you.

I'm telling you to go inside.

What's the problem if people see me?

In their eyes, you have already died.

No, I haven't died.

Then, who was the one who died?

You may go and ask the dead who he is.

Whose dead body did we bury in the grave at the mosque?

I can't believe it.

Me, either.

Dear God, You are truly a 'God'.

Did anyone see you?

- Thami. - That's the end of it.

Moosakka...

Moosakka...

You still look the same.

Why are you crying now?

You always cry when you are happy.

Finally, your Moosakka is back, no?

Where is our daughter?

Amina?

She is in Kozhikode.

She is studying there.

The house has become very huge.

Which is our room?

I never thought that I could see you all again.

We too.

Isn't it?

Where were you until now?

I was in jail.

I was living a dreadful life for the past 19 years.

I have asked only one thing from God.

To see all of your faces just one time before I die...

Mommy...

He is my...

Son.

He is my son.

Our son.

I married Itha. (Sister)

Moosakka.

If you were alive...

Couldn't you at least give a missed call?

"My Life is my Message" Gandhiji.

"Kargil martyr" - Lance Naik Muhammad Moosa.

Moosa.

Mathai.

Come here.

Shave my face.

Make it beautiful.

What's it?

This place has developed.

That's what.

Now, you look beautiful.

Keep the change. We need to party.

Listen, Keep this with you.

You will need it.

After you died...

I haven't taken money from soldiers.

It's for Us, you became a martyr, right?

Mathai.

Jaihind. - Loosen your hand, otherwise I'll die.

Jaihind.

What's the use of telling this in advance?

You must experience it yourself.

That gives you the real feel. Isn't it Narayanedthi?

Get lost, you.

Did you see the kid?

Your wife's younger one.

He looks like a replica of Meeran. His eyes, nose...

Also, he has the same running nose as Beeran had in his childhood.

Stop this rubbish, and go inside.

The guy has already gone crazy,

and that is when you are trying to add more fuel to the fire.

His wife married his brother, and they produced kids.

What am I have to do with it?

What's meant by Miss Cal? (Cal in Malayalam means 'leg')

When you left the place, people had only 2 legs.

But now, they have such a 3rd leg too.

What did you ask him?

About Miss Cal.

That is something on the phone.

The phone rings and gets cut before it is picked up.

I guess you don't know anything about it.

How much does it cost?

When Thami bought Touch (phone), he gave this to me.

What? - Thami bought Touch, Touch...

On that phone, you can see the person while talking.

It's ringing.

Press the green button, and keep it over the ears.

Not your ears, but mine.

Who's this? Prakashan?

Jack fruit Pappad, no?

You may come in the evening.

Come at 7 o'clock.

Press the red button to cut the call.

Red button.

Do you want one?

Jack fruit Pappad?

I have Pappad business.

Only during Jack fruit season.

Need to live until I die, no?

God doesn't have a stomach, no?

Where's your son?

He is in Palakkad.

While going back after selling our house and property,

he took me to Guruvayoor temple

for offering Thulabharam to Krishna.

It was 8 years back.

He had me sit in front of the front door,

and left the place saying that

he would be back after offering Thulabharam.

After 2 days, I understood that,

he had abandoned me.

Then?

I spent some days in the temple premises, begging.

Later, Thami, who brought lotus flowers to the temple,

took me here.

And what about your son?

It's a busy temple, right?

Let him come back after all of his offerings.

It's your dad who got shocked, you dog.

First, the one who found the word 'shocked' must be stamped.

What's it?

Facebook.

Book?

Do you have it in this?

The other Book? (Means porn magazines)

Are you still living in the age of books?

It's been a long time since those books got expired,

and went to the grave.

In this phone, you will get hot videos live.

Dikkilona. (Dikki means one's back)

Which type do you need"Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada,

Show it to me.

Now?

If I play it now, the oldie will come out running,

thinking that we are butchering a goat.

Let me get the earphone ready, and play it for you later.

Why do you have to make our family hear

the sexual promiscuity of the public?

You may read this now.

One has to be lucky to read his own obituary in the newspaper.

I ransacked the entire place to find this for you.

I didn't see such a crowd even for the offering at Puthiyangadi.

In front of our small school.

You should have seen it.

I guess you are an Illuminati. (Enlightened)

Illuminati.

What?

Nothing.

Actually, where had you been?

As-salamu alaykum...

Wa alaykumu...

Hai Allah!

I was taken along with the dead bodies

of those 4-5 Pakistani soldiers.

When we reached the hospital,

somebody noticed that one of the bodies

showed some movement.

The war got over in a span of two months.

But it took 8 long months before I regained my consciousness.

I was lying in some military hospital in Pakistan until then,

without remembering my name or place.

Like a body nearing to death.

In coma state.

What's your name?

Are you a Kashmiri?

Are you from Pattan?

He's a Muslim for sure.

By the time I regained my consciousness,

there was no government in Pakistan.

Musharaf's military had toppled Nawas Sherif's government,

and had captured the rule.

Even though I could understand what was happening around,

I couldn't either speak or get up by myself.

If I say that I am an Indian soldier,

I knew that I wouldn't be able to see the world again.

There was a God-like navy doctor in there.

Are you alright?

I don't remember his name.

I, who was lying like a dead body,

was brought back into life.

But...

Now I doubt that he was a Satan disguised as God.

One of the Indian fishermen,

who were caught by the Pakistan army for crossing the border

was shot killed by the Navy.

A poor guy hailing from Kutch, Gujarat,

who unknowingly happened to cross the Pakistan border.

You are Kwaja Muhammad.

From Kutch, Gujarat.

Crossed the border to catch fish, okay?

To make up the number of fishermen who were caught,

I, who wasn't aware of my name, place,

or had consciousness,

was shifted to that group by the doctor.

I don't know if that was done to save the navy,

or to save me.

I still don't know what is the truth.

When anyone crosses the borders of the sea,

it's quite common that the countries would catch them,

and leave them later, after a few days.

But, maybe I'm the dupe of the dead,

they didn't show me the outside world again.

19 long years, without being able to tell anyone who I was,

or write a letter,

or cry out loud to vent out my frustration.

They returned everyone who came before me,

and after me to India.

But I was left out from those lists.

Those who came along with me were not there

in that hell when I was leaving.

Both inside and outside.

How many years of ordeal did I suffer,

by just watching the sky,

inside a fort like wall compound,

locked in a cell where the broken closets stink,

eating garbage,

and without even knowing the day or date.

The nails on the feet grew long and curled up,

that I had to rub them on the walls to get rid of them.

What if I cut my throat and killed myself,

if they had given a knife or a blade to me?

If I showed a slight gesture of resistance...

they thrashed me badly

and hung me upside down over the furnace,

and burned my body using red chilly fumes.

I screamed up until I became unconscious.

Even though it is in between a hill of cuss words,

if I hear the word, 'Hindustan'...

I get this shivering sensation from my spine end to the head.

That spirit for the country helped Moosa stay alive

all these years until now.

Miracle!

It is unbelievable.

These many years inside Pakistani jail

in the name and address of a deceased fisherman

without being noticed by either India or Pakistan?

I'm telling the truth.

Not because we don't believe you,

but we are unable to believe the fate.

We've heard a lot of stories about dead people coming back home.

But your Kargil escape is totally unbelievable.

If anyone outside comes to know about it, it is a big breaking news.

As an army man, I think it is better not to make it a news.

Is ISI appointed for catching frogs?

Watch your head, okay?

Are you talking about the ISI mark behind helmets?

Not that ISI.

'Inter-Services Intelligence.'

The premier intelligence agency of Pakistan.

Oh, that thing.

What?

I mean what he said...

By the way,

What about the doctor?

That Navy guy?

I haven't seen him after that.

I don't know if he was a Satan or God.

He was undoubtedly the 'God'.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have seen the land of India again,

even if you waited for 19 years, or taken 19 re-births.

Leave it.

Have you reported this matter at the camp?

No, because there was no one over there, who knew me.

It has been years now.

I guess he has come all the way after cheating somebody.

I can't believe this story.

They wouldn't have known that he is an Indian.

The depth on the Indian side is 527.

Pakistan independent figures-700.

Says Wikipedia.

Pedia"(Means petty shop.)

In Kargil?

Here, Pedia means not a shop.

That is a website.

Pakistani figures-453.

Their army.

Nawas Sherif.

Their Prime Minister says that,

2700-4000 people have been killed on their side.

According to Pakistan Muslim League,

3000 Mujahideens,

officers, soldiers,

and irregulars were killed.

Even now, nobody knows the exact figure of deaths.

They have been saying that, that was not their army.

Means...

along with the army,

there were others as well, who were sponsored by them.

It could be Mujahideens,

or Jihadis.

When the war is over,

it was us who conducted the funeral of dead bodies

that they left behind our country.

Half burned and half buried.

If you were alive,

Sorry.

If you were there in the service,

you would be 'Subedar Moosa' now.

- Isn't it? - Yes.

Leave it.

Now, what do you want us, DSC to do for you?

You need not do anything.

Just tell him what he must do right now.

- Who are you? - I'm Thami.

- Ain't I? - Yes.

You can find me in the photo.

This is a place for retired army men who are still alive.

I'm alive.

According to the records of the Military and the government,

you are dead.

Moosa died.

That too 19 years back.

What nonsense are you talking?

If he has died, could he sit alive in front of you?

You get out of the room.

Cool, shoot at me.

Could you shut your mouth?

- I won't talk again. - Bahar! (Out)

Bahar! Bahar! (Out, Out)

Do you have bar service here?

That's the reason why all the retired soldiers are buried here.

If you want to correct the records,

you need to prove the stories that you are saying.

How do I do that, Sir?

Where could I find the 'BAR' they mentioned before?

Let me ask him.

Sh...

Booze!

How much is it for a full bottle?

I think they don't sell it to outsiders.

File a complaint at the local police station.

Anyway, give your number and go.

My service number?

No, mobile number.

I don't have that number.

Do you know how many lakhs did your family receive?

You will have to refund it.

Isn't it, Sir?

Hey! Hey! Moosa.

Hey, Moosa.

Moosa.

What happened?

There is a piece of shell inside my head.

Sometimes, my fuse goes off.

That is the medal I got from Kargil.

Shall we go to Kozhikode?

For what?

Too see Amina.

And you will go missing.

Didn't you hear what the old soldier told?

About Pakistan.

They are keeping mum only because I'm there with you.

Tickets.

There! Tickets!

Do you have Touch in this?

What?

Something that you can see while talking.

Oh, Touch! That's there.

Who is the girl? Is she any Pakistani piece?

It's for seeing Pathu.

Not only her, you can see her mom also in this phone.

I just want to see her.

- Do you have her number? - No.

Then, you may just hold the phone, and sit there.

Hands will get wounded.

How much does it cost?

7000 rupees.

Do you want it? You may just pay me 6000 rupees.

Don't say that I didn't give you anything

after returning from the grave.

I don't want it.

Okay, no problem.

Let her remain as a touching for Meeran.

Dreaming about winning a lottery

and becoming a crorepati is not enough.

You must buy a ticket when you see the lottery.

Oh, is it you, Thami?

Where are you coming from?

Don't you just have to know where I'm going?

2 tickets to Moosa Junction.

By the by,

Heard that, that guy rose from the dead.

Moosa.

Guess it was a prank.

You can ask him directly.

He is the guy you are talking about.

Oh, Allah!

I'll give the balance money later.

Oh! Until I get the balance amount,

nothing else will come to my mind.

Those who have taken tickets to Thrikkavu can get down.

Get up, and get down.

- For what? - Quick.

What's the matter?

Hey, Moosa.

Hey, stop.

If you are looking for the beverage, it is at the other junction.

Wills.

Aren't you Vasu?

Yes, what's the matter?

Not Vicks.

I asked you for Wills cigarette.

For 1 rupee?

Is it for a Wills you rushed out from the bus?

Now then, I lost the balance money from the bus.

Here is the money.

- I'm Moosa. - So?

Army Moosa.

Aren't your leaves over?

Leave from death?

Oh, our Moosakka.

Heard that you did not die.

You have no change at all.

You look just as if you are alive.

Isn't it?

Tell me, what's happening?

I had a chitty with you, right?

Did you have one?

- Yes. - When?

In the year 1999.

Oh, yeah, I remember now.

I want that money.

Come with me.

How much was it?

Don't you know that those notes have been demonetized?

- How much is it? - I need to check the accounts.

When will get it?

I'll give you the money, Moosakka.

I never thought that you would rise from the grave, and ask for money.

I want the money right now.

It will be difficult if you say so.

Vasu...

You need a festival to get charged up,

but when he gets charged up, that day is a festival.

Will you give me a week's time?

Okay.

Oh, man! What a memory!

That is my greatest sorrow either.

Did I also have a chitty in the year 1999?

"Peace be upon you".

"Peace be upon you, and God's mercy and blessings".

Call Allah deep from your heart.

Everything will be fine.

If prayers were that powerful,

there won't be sorrows in this world.

How are you?

I'm very good.

Are you happy?

- Happy where? - In Islamabad?

Heard that you were in jail.

Is it true?

Is Musharraf keeping well?

He has asked me to convey his regards to you.

Is-Is is strong there know?

I mean ISIS.

- I want to see the grave. - Which grave?

The place where my dead body was buried.

There's no gravestone over there.

There is just a boundary stone.

Your name has been engraved on it.

We don't have this custom of building tombs no?

When someone dies, there is no use of building a gravestone

or arranging a first night for him.

How is the food in the jails in Islamabad?

Do you get porotta and ghee rice there?

You may go to the borders for gracing goats, you will get biryani.

That's the reason why you have become chubby.

Here, you get only raw rice.

You had been in jail once before, right?

Usthad"When was it?

Idiot!

Why do you want to escort me?

Whenever elders talk, you bloody interfere in it.

Go, get lost.

Do you still teach at Madrassa?

I'm getting old, no?

My body is not letting me strain much.

You know,

This is the place where you were buried.

I mean someone else, thinking that it was you.

Who knows who the hell was he?

The body was found only after 2-3 months.

Nothing solid was there above the tummy.

Maybe any fox took the remaining part.

Is it actually our compound, or their compound?

Compound?

Where did the war take place?

In India's compound or Pakistan's compound?

How many cents were there in total?

You mean Kargil?

Yes, how many cents are there in total?

Don't you read the newspaper, you bum?

We didn't open your coffin,

because we couldn't see your dead face.

But why are you crying now?

Not today, but back then.

I didn't drink a single drop of water.

And what happened?

After sometime, I drank.

Anyway, good.

Otherwise, you would have been taken to the grave too.

Don't you have children?

Yes, I have.

He is sleeping in the cradle.

Should I wake him up?

No need.

I don't have a single penny with me.

It's not for that.

He will cry if he sees you.

I feed him rice showing your photo.

"Eat fast."

"Otherwise your deceased uncle will come out and eat your food."

Oh!

You have only one kid right?

No, no, I have 4 kids.

3 boys and 1 girl.

I myself have to look after all the 4.

Basheerka is a poor guy.

He doesn't get leaves often.

He is always in Qatar.

Good.

Good that he is in Qatar.

Meeran bought it. If you have a dog,

no demon or Satan will enter the house, it seems.

I didn't mean 'You'.

It was bought after a thief entered the mosque.

If you keep pondering over its legality,

thieves will chop your head off.

Bloody rascals.

My Basheerka likes dogs.

You too.

He likes both of you.

Does he know me?

No, but he has heard a lot about you.

He always tells that, the soldiers are the real 'Men'.

How many years have you been married?

17 years.

When you died, I was in 10th standard.

Have you studied 10th class?

Yes, it was my second year in 10th.

I don't know why, whenever the exam nears, I remember you.

It was when I was weeping for failing 10th standard again,

this marriage alliance came.

Meeran had received a lot of money as compensation for your death.

From that money, he gave me just 50 sovereigns,

and 15 cents of your land,

and easily got rid of me.

My land?

Yeah! That's no more now.

In spite of snatching away all of your

properties, he married your wife as well.

It's for pocketing her properties too.

At least, she could wait for you for some days.

At least, until the Mehandi on the grave dried off.

What is the hurry?

Don't the ladies whose husbands are in Gulf living here?

With dignity?

If so, would you have to sit like a dog who has come to the market?

Where is she? - She has gone out

in the morning with her husband after decoration.

Who knows?

What about Amina?

She went along with them.

I'm an odd one out, no?

Do you know Ikka?

I was crying out loud thinking about you

even on the day of my marriage.

Crying, crying, crying, when the vehicle reached the mosque,

the tyre got punctured.

Then I thought, it was no one else,

but you, Moosakka, who punctured the tyre.

Out of the grief that I'm being sent to the spouse's house

without that 10 sovereigns.

Which 10 sovereigns?

Oh good God, you forgot about it?

This is the problem if you get shot on the head.

I'll never forget the 10 sovereigns that you'd promised me.

We got into another vehicle and went to his house.

As I reached there, his uncle fell down and died.

He had gone to the pond just to wash his feet.

But had to bath him totally.

After you died, there had been a series of death over here.

Your friend, that fish seller Noukkar.

Nephew of Backer Mash, Kurukkan Koya.

The ration shop owner, Nair.

Then, Moidukka's...

third wife, Pathumma, whose boobs were cut off due to some growth.

But she died from an accident.

Next, our Thenukkarana's son, stepping on a current line.

But the only person who returned after dying is You.

Can you please stop talking about the dead?

What can I do for people dying all around?

It's Nercha feast at Puthiyangadi mosque.

Do you remember...?

When we were kids...

One guy fell off into the death well and died?

Here comes your wife,

her current husband,

their young one, and your big one.

Oh, only one is there.

Keep it inside.

Kunji...

Told you to go inside.

What's your intention?

What?

Brother, will you hear (obey) what I say?

I can hear everyone.

I'll decide whether to obey you after hearing it.

I have a friend in Ervadi.

I'll call him, and arrange everything.

You may go there, and stay there for some days.

For what?

I'm not mad or anything.

That is... I'll clear everything over here, and call you.

I can't go anywhere.

Then, what am I supposed to do?

Do I have to take you on my hips and walk?

No one has to take me on their hips, or pamper me.

I will pamper myself.

What decision have you taken?

I...

I need some money, first.

Money?

Yes.

It could be from my pension, insurance or anything.

Banana fritters.

What is it for?

Don't you like banana fritters?

Not this, I'm talking about money.

Don't I have to live?

I...

I'm going nuts without knowing how to meet

your daughter's marriage expenses.

Marriage?

My daughter's marriage? When is it?

Next month.

This marriage is happening on the promise

to give them 10 cents of land at Kandanakam.

What other sources do I have to raise money?

I looked after the family all these years.

I conducted Suhara's marriage decently.

I spent for her three deliveries.

It's four.

Thank God if it stops here.

When I hear that he is coming on leave,

my pressure will shoot up.

Then, I built this house.

I cleared all our debts.

Everything is money.

Don't think that I ate Porotta and meat for all of your money.

Isn't it you who signed on the paper that the dead body is mine?

I didn't know that it wasn't you.

Did you see my dead body?

But they didn't show the dead body.

Then, how did you confirm that the body was mine?

Has he gone inside to take money?

Isn't it yours? How did they get it?

In fact, you also let me die.

Without being able to bare the pain of your brother's death,

you married his wife as well.

Moosakka, don't say anything that hurts.

I married her not because I had an eye on her.

It's because I liked you a lot.

I didn't want her or her daughter beg like orphans.

When your love for me shot up,

you produced a kid.

How could I know that you would rise from the dead?

Nice!

You shouldn't play champion by hitting a goal

on the post where there's no goalkeeper, you pig.

Will you go if you get money?

- Go where? - To Pakistan.

That's not my aunt's house to go whenever I want.

Will you please go somewhere?

Are you sure you will leave?

If I get some money,

I'll go from here for the time being.

But I won't go from this place.

Then?

I'll be here around running a tiles company or a cinema talkies.

Cinema talkies?

How much do you have in mind?

- Pachas lakh. - What?

50 lakhs.

Are you mad?

It's your dad who is mad.

I know how much did you swallow in,

as compensation for my death.

I haven't asked the army to bring your dead body here,

or to give any money.

The soldiers die, and bury the dead not by inviting anyone.

If a person is not seen for 7 years, it is assumed that he's dead.

- So? - You'd better leave now.

I won't get this much money even if I sell my kidney.

- 25 lakhs? - No way.

5 lakhs?

There's no use of bargaining from here.

I won't give a single penny to you.

Our brother passed away, and we have buried him.

Meeranka.

Then, you may give 50 lakhs.

- If so, who am I? - I don't know.

But I must know who am I.

I'm talking to all the rascals who shared the benefits of my death.

I want the major share of the money.

Trying to fool others with a death story.

10 sovereigns!

Licking the smile of a dog

who has been licking from the waste.

Bloody rascals.

This Moosa will die only after proving that

- this Moosa has not died. - Otherwise?

Otherwise, Moosa will not be there.

If I could prove that Moosa is alive,

all of you must meet the consequence.

Eat it.

Don't take out your military attitude here.

I will speak to them.

Got it?

I want to meet the Inspector.

CI has gone for training.

Did he become a CI without a training?

SI is there.

Let's meet him.

Who is the SI of the place?

SI is the one who is sitting over there.

- Him? - Yes.

Good morning, Sir.

Good morning.

I want to know if a person is alive or not.

Who do you want to know about?

Moosa.

Who are you?

Moosa.

Is it about your own vital status that you want to know?

Yes.

Just blow on my face.

- Blow where? - On my face.

[Blows on the face.]

He's not drunk.

Show your hand.

Let me see if he has injected or smoked drugs.

I'm not that type of a person.

Where are you from?

Now, from Manoor.

Where were you before that?

In the jail.

Jail?

For what did you go to jail?

For waging war.

Viyoor jail or Kannur jail?

Karachi.

Where?

Pakistan.

Are you acting like a fool?

I'm a soldier who died in the Kargil war.

But I was not actually dead.

I was lying unconscious.

Were you drunk when you went to the war?

I was in Coma stage.

Meanwhile,

the soldiers brought a dead body here and buried it here,

saying that it's mine.

Okay, then? - When I came back alive,

both my family and others say that I'm dead.

So, don't I have to know if I am actually alive or not?

Don't you know whether you are alive or not?

We know that, but others have to accept it, no?

We are asking if there is any proof for it.

Not only that.

I need my pension.

And my wife too.

Was she buried either?

She married again.

But there's no use of blaming her.

What's your actual address?

Lance Naik Muhammad Moosa.

Service number-122368.

Bravo, Bihar regiment, Patna, Sir.

Not that.

Your house address of this place.

It is Lance Naik Muhammad Moosa itself.

I stay at Thami's house.

Moosa junction, Manoor, Malappuram.

He's Member Meeran's...?

Own brother. Same blood.

'Moosa Junction' was named after his death.

Do you have an ID card? - Army's...?

Yes, also... the voter's ID. - What's that?

Do you have an Adhar card?

Is it any house document? - No.

He's asking about Adhar Card. It will have our photo on it.

What crap is it?

Adhar Card came just recently, no?

It has been about 20 years since he left.

Do you have a ration card?

My name was struck off.

So, you don't have any proof for your existence.

Yes, he has.

What is it?

He has a big mole on his butt as big as this.

You may take a look at it.

Hey, hello!

You need not lift your dhoti. Sit.

It's there, take a look.

I saw it. Now, sit.

Who is this old woman?

I delivered him to his mother.

So what?

Looking at his butt, I know that it is him.

There is only one such butt in this entire panchayath.

- Are you sure? - Damn sure.

Could that be taken as proof, Sir?

What nonsense!

If not, on his front side, there's a...

No need to say it.

Either you report at the camp...

There's no use at all.

- Or...? - Or...

Bring some proof that you are You.

What proof?

Proofs that are living or non-living.

Butt is a living thing, right?

Isn't that enough?

Whatever proofs that you can collect...

Like... Any gazetted officer, or a political leader

who has seen you before, and can identify you right now...

Or it could be anyone holding an official post.

A person holding a post office means,

I will be enough.

It is not post office, but official post.

Both are same.

But I don't know if there is any case in my name.

How will you have a case in your name without you knowing about it?

Wasn't he buried without his knowledge"That's how people are.

No one is looking for a guy like you.

They are looking for an MP or a minister.

Brother, I want curry.

What is the problem"- Dear Vaidyar, the police need a witness

to prove that Moosa has not died.

That too a VIP.

Why do they need a witness?

Are the police blind?

Brother, curry...

Our panchayath president will do, no?

Best person to seek help!

He'd better drink poison and lie down on the railway track.

'On coming Sunday at 5.45 PM'

Isn't he our old Mammootty?

Not old or new, but it is him.

There are only 2 people who don't grow old.

One is Mammooty, and Boban and Molly.

Brother, I need curry.

I'll chop you into pieces, make curry with it,

and make you eat it.

Right in the morning, he buys one glass of toddy,

and drink 2 pots of curry.

I doubt if the toddy or the curry has more kick.

This is not your mom's shop to drink curry like this.

What are you doing here?

Er... Nothing.

Amina had called.

I told her not to come home until her exams are over.

Why so?

Even if she comes, there's nothing for her to do here.

I'm more than enough to take care of other things.

Don't we have to ask if she likes the proposal or not?

For what?

Now, I'm her father.

Do you want to change it?

Pathu,

Do you want to go with (Moosa) Ikka?

If it is a yes, leave my son here before going.

There's no one else to claim his ownership.

I haven't deceived anyone.

Instead shared my life with everyone.

Now, if you want me to die for others to live happily,

I'm ready to do that as well.

I came here not to say this.

I know only to talk like this.

Kunji...

Kunji Pathu.

Please stop, I want to say something.

People will see us.

Pathu, please...

If anyone at home comes to know about it, it will become a problem.

Whose is this anyone?

If my husband comes to know about this..

So, am I not your husband?

I didn't say that you are not.

If you want to tell something, make it fast.

If anyone comes to see us, that's the end of it.

What if they see us?

My Moosakka, you are impossible.

You haven't changed at all.

This is what you said the other day also.

I'm here not to say that.

I want to know something.

Okay.

Are you receiving my pension and military quota?

I don't know.

Go and ask my husband.

- Come on, kiddo. - Stop there.

I want to know one more thing.

Give me your mobile number.

I don't know the number.

Do I have to ask that also to your husband?

9-4-

9-4-

7-6-

7-6-

- 3... - 3

Then...

What number comes next, mommy?

2-8-

2-8-

2-8-

6-2-

6-2-

Jai Bajrang Bali.

Brother.

Come here.

'Manoor Gram Panchayat Office.'

Meeran. You don't have to twist the reality.

During the last election, our ward was turned into a women's ward.

As you cannot turn into a woman overnight,

you asked me to contest the election.

That's true. But...

No need of saying 'but'...

As I were lucky, I won the election.

As the panchayat is lucky, I became the president too.

Are you teaching politics to me?

I'm a person who has become the Ward Member twice.

I'll contest the election this time also.

Yeah, you can.

That's your freedom.

But, even your wife will not vote for you.

There's no doubt in it.

How can you be so sure about it?

Kutty...

Meerankutty...

You won the election twice not because

people thought that you would turn this panchayat into London.

But in the capacity of being the brother of Moosa,

the martyr who died for the country.

But, this time, that will not work.

He has not died, that is why...

He's not my brother Moosa.

But I didn't feel so.

That's just your feeling.

That's not just my feeling, Meeran.

That's the truth.

The truth that you tried to bury inside the grave.

He'd come to meet me,

asking me to give a witness statement in his favour.

What did you say?

I said I'd discuss it with you and give a reply.

Our darling is you, no?

Why does he need a witness?

To prove that he's himself.

He will get back his money, and his wife.

You will have to give him back the entire money

that you enjoyed.

You will beg on the roads.

In between all the mess,

how will you contest the Panchayat election?

Good morning, Chotu Bhai.

Is there any fish?

If there's no fish, we will make some.

- Isn't it? - Yes, of course.

I want to tell something to you.

Ah, the fish took the bait.

Where is the fish?

It will take the bait soon, wait.

Oh, cheering up in advance, huh?

Come here. I want to say something to you.

Okay, tell me.

Did you meet Pankechi?

- Yes. - But why?

She is our Panchayat president.

And I live in that panchayat.

Do I need your permission to meet her?

I want to speak to you privately.

If the fish takes the bait, pull it up.

- I'll be back soon. - Okay.

What do you want to say?

Won't you allow me to live?

Best question!

Have I squeezed your throat?

Go and live without wasting time.

What do you want from me to go from here?

50 lakhs.

You were telling 5 lakhs the other day, no?

Again, it became 50?

That was said before giving it a thought.

When I thought about it, it became 50.

That's not possible.

Then, you'd better go from here.

Taking rubbish when Paral fish is floundering.

I'll give you 5 lakhs.

And you must not see Pathu...

Pathu?

Sister!

She is my wife now.

How come she is your wife?

I haven't divorced her yet.

She and I have a son together.

She and I have a daughter together.

I'd told you earlier itself that,

I married your wife not because I didn't get another girl.

You will get another girl even now.

Tell me if you need one.

I, your brother will decently conduct your marriage.

I should have gotten him married soon after his circumcision.

- What about my kid? - You take him.

- Why do I need him? - I'm neither a soldier,

nor have done anything for the country.

My family is my country.

If I understand that I'm losing it,

not only gun, I'll blast an atom bomb if needed.

Atom, it seems.

As if atom bombs are freely available in the Manoor market,

for you to blast it whenever you want to.

What bomb are you, a coward who would pee on the mat

on hearing the sound of a thunder, going to blast?

Go drink some milk, and sleep.

Don't think that you can live here, spoiling my family life.

This is not fun. Even if you die, nobody will be there for you.

Will you kill me?

I'm not scared of dying.

If someone says that he is not scared of dying,

either he is lying,

or he is a soldier.

I'm a soldier.

Understand?

I'll give you time till Puthiyangadi feast.

Get lost, you bloody!

Hey.

Do you want some fresh Parai fish?

Pathu prepares yummy Parai fish curry.

- Give it to your wife. - I'm talking about My wife only.

- Got any fish, dear? - No.

Where's the fish that was kept there?

Let him eat it.

He likes river fish very much.

Have you heard of missing 54?

Major Ashok Surya.

One among in that 54.

In 1971, the military had handed over

a helmet pierced with bullets to his family.

Major killed in action.

I know.

In 1975,

Major's father received a letter in Major's hand writing.

Postmark dated,

14 June, 1975, Karachi.

The letter says.

Dear dad, I'm quite okay out here.

We are 20 officers.

The Indian government can contact Pakistan.

Major's status changed.

Killed in action 2. Missing in action.

Nobody knows where those 54 people including Major are.

Both India and Pakistan.

You may know Kargil hero, Yogendra Singh Yadav.

Yes, yes. I know.

15 bullet injuries.

At first, we had reported that he died.

But later, corrected the records.

In hours.

Hey, press the button gently.

It's ringing.

Hello.

She picked the call.

Hello. Who's this?

Er... it's me, Moosakka.

My God!

Whose number is this?

Thami's.

What's it? Tell me fast.

Hope you are good.

Yes. What about you?

Yeah, I'm better day by day.

- I'm going to hang up. - Don't hang up.

I want to ask something to you.

What is it? Tell me before anyone comes.

Talk gently.

What?

How did its volume go up?

You turned on the speaker, friend.

A soldier who doesn't know anything.

What did you say?

Nothing.

Okay.

What did you do with the Parai fish?

Fried them or prepared curry?

I fried them.

God.

How do you know that we have fish today?

It doesn't matter where on earth I am.

Still, I will know all of your movements.

But, couldn't you know that Meeran married me?

Is he there?

Who?

Your new HUS... BAND.

No, he has gone to Valanchery.

When will that pig return home?

Do you want me to tell anything to him?

My dad will talk to him.

It's with you that I want to talk.

Talk about what"Pension?

Shucks!

I...

I...?

I...

God! The phone slipped off.

Phone? You lost the phone too?

Her number is in that phone.

What are you going to do with her number without a phone?

God.

That was the only phone I had.

9-4-7-

Er... 6-

Is it mandatory that you need 10 digits for a phone number?

2 of them in between have faded away.

In between, it seems.

You won't understand my feelings.

I was tuning her back nicely.

Are you not ashamed to say that you were tuning your own wife?

Oh, she is someone else' wife now.

I mean she is Meeran's wife now.

Hey.

What will I do to get her number?

Dude, let it dry.

The number will be there in the phone.

- Is it true? - Yes.

Really?

It will be there on the phone if it has not died.

No, it won't die, man.

What if we keep it more close to the fire?

It will burst, man.

Do the Pakistani people have any grudge against me?

"O' the sweet lightning falls on the land of eternity."

Hello.

A soldier who is dismissed from the service,

and an NRI who has returned home is like a stray dog.

I wasn't dismissed.

You were buried, right?

There isn't much difference.

Moosa,

this is not a silly game.

The counter petitioners are your family and the government.

What we need is proof.

Solid proof.

But...

If you don't have any proof, create it.

I was just calculating...

5 bottles for a month.

So, 60 bottles for a year.

So, how many bottles for 19 years?

You can start a beverage with these many bottles.

That's why the government is not giving the bottles.

If you will get your military quota, you will not need the pension.

- Do you have any old records? - Records of what?

Records of any property, or a pond?

I own 15 cents of land.

You can't take the land into the court, no?

Where is the document?

It must be there at home.

- Will you get it? - No way.

Shucks! You must get it somehow.

Your signature will be there on it.

What's it with the signature?

That could be produced as proof.

Its copy will be there in the village office.

Will they give that to you?

You are dead, right?

Until you prove that you are yourself,

you are not yourself.

It is not the responsibility of the country to prove that.

That's your responsibility.

Do one thing.

Make a case.

What case?

May be stab someone, murder, or rape.

Anything according to your taste.

Let's opt rape.

Then?

The police will have to arrest you if there is a case against you.

If you are arrested, they will have to prepare FIR.

The accused's name will be there on the FIR.

No one can file a case against the dead, right?

That means, he is alive.

Sir, sir...

A photo wearing a purdah will be okay?

For marriage?

To submit at the Registrar office?

- I'll come later. - Don't go.

You need not come often.

I'll tell you the matter clearly.

It's a complicated case.

A register marriage.

Not mine, my friend's.

Tell your friend that,

his photo will be pasted on the notice board for 30 days.

If he is scared,

ask him to take her, and hide somewhere.

The rest will be taken care after they come out.

Okay.

No benefit for me.

OC legal advice.

What have you decided?

Otherwise, you have only one way as Buddha said earlier.

Desires are the reason for sorrow.

So, live without having any desire.

That's his desire, no?

Property deed is enough for us.

Hope nobody is there.

You know,

We might see many things that we shouldn't see.

- See what? - Don't pay attention to it.

Is your house this big?

Sit here. We'll get a copy from him when he comes back.

Who is he?

- Who's he? - Who knows?

We will get it if he gives it.

- God. - Dogs.

He is trapped.

Allah.

Oh, my God.

He got what he is here for. Let's go.

Get lost, dog.

Allah.

Good morning, Inspector.

Good morning.

From IB.

From the military intelligence.

Two decades...

They wouldn't keep a person in custody for such a long period

without any vested interests.

On the other hand... Even if it happens...

They won't let anyone free without any intention.

Even if it is to kill or to protect,

they will be behind him.

Would he be a spy, Sir?

Even if he's such a big-wig terrorist,

they won't do anything in this station area.

Two nuclear power countries didn't know

what he was doing for the past 19 years.

Is that when you are talking about your circle, Ullas?

This is a shadow investigation.

And it should be.

This is an important case for both the military and the ministry.

- He must not go beyond your circle. - Sir.

Keep an eye on him 24?7.

- Hope you got the point. - Yes, Sir.

Shall we take him into custody without anybody's notice?

Not only others,

even you haven't noticed it.

Understand?

Our concern is not just if Moosa is alive or not.

If it is a truth,

The public will suspect whether the defaced dead bodies

that were buried were actually that of the soldiers or not.

Their families will start believing that

they would return like this one day.

That will become a big mental and social issue.

If the story is true, it will be history.

Even Mahatma Gandhiji had been in jail

for the country only for 11 years.

The entire country will have to salute him.

But, if it is not true,

he is not alone.

And, he is dangerous.

Deadly, deadly dangerous.

Moosa.

Moosa, I'm coming.

I'm coming for you.

Do you know what it is for?

No.

The first and last warning for you.

If you come home asking for money or share...

upon God,

I will bury your dead body in this compound.

Risen from the grave, it seems!

Do you know who I am?

No.

I'm Basheer.

Your brother-in-law, Basheer.

Who is there? Stop!

Stop there!

You shouldn't have thrashed him. You are so mean.

He has not died.

I should have killed him.

Then?

Then what? I'll go back to Doha for the next flight.

Who would complain?

By the by, are you sure that he is your brother?

Yes, I'm.

But Suhara doesn't think so.

That is because he asked for his share in our property.

Until then, she was also sure about it.

What are you trying to say?

That we should sell her property and give him the money?

He also has to live, no?

That's your family affair.

Don't include me or her in this.

He's her brother too.

After our father died, it was Moosakka who...

I don't want to hear the story of him pampering you,

or cleaning your poop.

Nobody should come to my family asking for a share.

Can you lend me some money?

No.

Dammit!

As she was crying out loud,

I had to borrow money from some scoundrels

to take a business class ticket to come here.

Even the coat I was wearing is on loan.

Now then,

I'll have to pawn her waistlet or anklet

to raise money to go back.

Election is nearing.

Please don't create unnecessary

problems and spoil my political future.

What? Dirty crap!

Talking about political future in a ward

that doesn't even have 900 voters in total.

Shut your mouth and get lost.

I left him only because people gathered together...

Otherwise, I would've battered that pig up.

How do you feel, Sir?

Does it hurt? [In Tamil]

I smoke occasionally.

I'm not asking about your smoking habit.

I'm asking if you have pain.

Which place is this?

Can't you understand it from looking around?

It's an hospital.

I want to go to the shop.

Is it for boozing?

How do you feel now?

It seems there is some problem on your head.

- Is it a mental hospital? - No.

There's an iron rod inside your head.

What is that?

Saw the shell inside my head?

Yeah, that's why I asked about it.

It's a piece of the bomb that hit me.

He's an ex-serviceman, doctor.

Oh, I see.

Okay, take rest.

You may pay the bill.

You can go after the drip is complete.

Who are you?

Lexy. I'm from Kanyakumari.

Aren't you Lance Naik Muhammad Moosa?

Yes.

Where is my father?

What?

- Basheerka? - Yes.

Why did he beat you?

Suhara had told me before,

that he loves me a lot.

But I never expected this much.

You don't have any injury, do you?

No way.

It's not that I'm not capable of thrashing him back.

If so, I'll have to conduct her second marriage too.

No woman in this world shall have such an ill fate as me.

But, isn't it you yourself who invited this ill fate, dear?

Are you blaming me?

Don't make me cry more.

My tears have dried out from crying all my life.

And what did he say?

He's a super match for Suhara.

He's a first-class rascal.

He's given me a promise too.

That he would kill me again if he sees me.

Pathu.

I'm coming, Ikka.

He won't allow me to talk to her even over the phone, PIG!

But Moosakka...

Did he beat you all alone?

If thrashed in darkness, any Bruce Lee would fall.

Still...

he is a person who lifted the stage all alone.

- Stage? - Yes, Aavanazhi...

- Forgot about it? - Leave that topic.

Where did you get her from?

From the hospital.

She is the one who took care of him.

- Dear, what's your name? - Lexy.

That's a drink, no?

Lexyyyy...

- 'exy' that of S'exy'. - Now, I got it.

Where did your father go, you said?

To the Kargil war.

In 1999.

What's his name?

Ambroose. Lance Naik Ambroose Chellayya.

- Do you know him? - I don't know.

Is it him who thrashed you?

Not him. Don't bring twists into the story.

Was he there in the jail along with you?

When did you see him last?

Are you not eating?

I think your father ran away fearing the war.

Happy when you had someone stop eating?

Mother serious.

Start immediately.

Ambroose, fall out.

The telegram is for you.

Mother serious.

- Mommy. - Shut up.

Who received a telegram last month saying 'mother expired'?

I...

How did your mother who expired last month become serious now?

Last time, it was the sender's mother who had expired.

This time, it's my mother who is serious.

- Silence. - Yes, Sir.

Idiot.

If you receive another telegram over here,

the army will send a telegram back to your house.

"Son of a monkey, Ambroose expired in a bomb blast."

We will blast a grenade under your underwear.

Bloody!

How will I go outside? (To poop)

Please ask him if there's any other place.

You know,

She wants to...

Our toilet has been pulled down, no?

To bury him.

Ask her to poop somewhere in the field.

Now?

No, let the dark fall.

Have you taken her here forever?

Isn't she a girl?

So what?

She won't be used to pooing outside.

Taking up unwanted responsibilities

and putting oneself in dire straits.

If there is any place that you know, please...

Your dead body was honoured in the school compound.

Oh, boy! There was a sea of VIPs.

I haven't seen such a big crowd

even for the feast at Puthiyangadi mosque.

The army fired 7 gun-salutes.

Are you dreaming, Sir?

Is it over?

What a dirty bathroom is it, Sir?

I threw...

What?

I threw up.

Vomit... I vomited.

Finish everything that comes out.

- You cannot come here every time. - Why?

This is a school, and not a toilet.

When are you going back to your place?

- I'll go. - You must go.

This is not my duty.

I want to take bath before everything.

Is there no water inside the toilet?

How come, brother?

There's not even a bucket inside.

The only mug that was there had holes in it.

If so, we have only a river nearby.

River, river...

Come, let's go.

- You may go alone. - I'm new to this place, bro.

I'm also new to this place.

Do you want Kattan? (Black tea)

Kuttan?

Kuttan is the name of the tea shop owner.

Kuttan, super.

Are these butter biscuits, brother?

Won't you talk?

A thief got into the mosque again last night.

Has he made it a habit?

What treasure, he thinks, is there in the mosque

that he is coming often?

The thief will be a hardcore believer of God.

He has broken the priest's head.

He is admitted in the hospital.

Then, no doubt...

He's an original believer of God.

Why are you wasting time blowing on it?

Is it Payasam o' what? Come, let's go.

What a guy is he!

Are you not scared...?

Of coming to the river with me? It is very deep.

Why should I be scared? I'm going with a soldier.

They sacrifice their lives for others.

I'm a soldier's daughter, Sir.

Shit! She is such a headache for me.

What are you sniffing at?

Is it Life boy?

Are you missing your wife?

"Those sweet memories come into my mind."

"But why are the times now, not sweet as before?"

Why? Why? Why?

Stop it, and come up.

You know, it is after many years I'm taking bath in a river.

Not since my father left us.

I have a doubt.

Like Tomy said,

would your friend have run away fearing war?

He is relentlessly trying to go back home.

Sir, sir...

Here he comes.

Catch it.

From where did you catch him today?

Hey, idiot,

If you don't want the job, resign and go.

Darling, my salary itself is not enough to meet my liabilities.

Then, how will I manage with just the pension?

Food for food.

Salary for salary. Booze for booze.

What is it for? Is it for running away when war comes?

Don't speak as if you have joined the army

because of your love for the country.

90 people out of 100 are joining the army because of hunger.

- Am I right? - You can put it that way as well.

Praise the Lord.

I have a daughter who is just 8 years old.

She doesn't even have a mother.

If I die, she doesn't have anyone else.

Not only that.

PPG, my friend.

PT, Parade, games excuse.

No combat.

Hey. Dravidian means brave,

and not a waste like you.

Were you recruited to the army, or admitted in the army?

Useless fellow!

Is Neelambur nearby?

It's Nilambur.

Is it nearby?

Does your aunty live there?

My father is known to everyone over there.

That's home to an army man who has been missing

for the past 50 years.

Muraleedharan, the airman who was held by Pakistan

in the war of 1971.

We are waiting to see if he is coming back.

You know...

We even don't know what happened to Netaji

who fought for our freedom.

Let alone ordinary people like us.

Who all are there in your family?

Grandmother and I.

Aysha Begam.

Father's mother.

We are converted Christians.

Only my father was converted.

During 15 years of age, when he was affected with chicken pox.

Grandma is still a Muslim.

I want to know what happened to my father.

Before he goes.

Before he goes to Hajj?

Before he dies, Sir.

He's going to be 92.

Even if he is not alive,

I want to know what happened to him.

Wasn't he there in jail with you?

When is your vehicle?

What vehicle?

I mean, when are you going back to your place?

My clothes must dry first.

Take your clothes and cover your body.

All fathers are alike.

If you keep it on your body, it will dry fast in the wind.

Why do you want to send me back in a hurry?

What's the use of staying here?

I'll help you prove that you are alive.

But you must help me back to find my father.

If you keep the clothes near the furnace, it will dry fast.

Hello.

Is Moosa not here?

Sir. He has gone home.

What's the deal at home?

It's from there he prepares the curry.

What's the matter?

It's regarding his pension.

Is his pension okay?

I'll call him.

Moosa.

- Moosa, kooi. - Hey, no need to call him.

I'll go there and meet him.

What's it about Police and all?

He's come for Moosa.

I thought, some liquor tragedy occurred

during the time I was gone out.

When you are here, what other tragedy is there to come?

Hey, stop there!

Did you make problems at Meeran's house?

Get the torch away.

Who the hell are you?

Give me some touchings.

The hooch is full of flies.

Flies on the hooch means it is unadulterated.

But all the flies have kicked the bucket.

They are not dead.

They are blackout drinking hooch.

Do you see its eyes?

They have been intoxicated.

Oh, they are sleeping, huh?

What is that? A fox?

Foxes died when the fields were treated with pesticides.

It is a human sound that we are hearing.

Does a man howl like this?

Hey, what is that crying all about?

Like what the advocate said,

I think we have got a case in our name.

- Is it? - Yes.

He is here to recommend for Meeran.

I didn't do it deliberately.

His hands have been fractured.

Oh, my dear.

Isn't he a policeman?

What's the problem?

It's gonna make the case strong.

Anyway, we have got a case now. Come on.

We needn't bring the police here. Let's go and surrender.

Is it nail marks?

A dog scratched me.

Is it your first time?

No, it has bitten me twice before.

Not that.

Is it your first time in a lockup?

Yes, what about you?

Grand 20th year, bro.

It's silver jubilee after 5 years.

But I didn't see you yesterday.

This is my first time in India.

Were you in a foreign jail?

Yes.

What's your name?

Iqbal Bakrudheen.

- What? - 'Ikru' in short.

What's your case?

Oh, is it that register marriage?

What wrong did you commit?

- Wrong? - Yes.

Captain Vikram Batra, Jerry Premraj.

Have you heard of them?

Of course!

I have seen them either.

They play sevens, right?

We play in the border.

With Pakistan.

They were sentenced to death.

And I was sentenced to life.

The case is against thrashing a policeman.

Will you be able to save him?

Wasn't it you who sent him there?

I came to know about it.

I have spoken to him.

He has a fracture.

Don't take it seriously.

If you file a case against him, there's a problem.

That's why.

Sir...

Siiiirrrr...

- What you want? - Has the FIR been prepared?

What section is it?

Want to know the section?

I'll tell you.

Which army were you in?

How many armies do you know?

Aren't you a Maoist?

Maoist, it seems.

I'm just a waste, isn't it, Sir?

A waste that nobody needs.

Why have you come early in the morning?

I'm here to take him.

Bail.

Who are you?

This coat doesn't come for drying.

What is the charge? - No charge.

You may take him with you.

Won't you file a case

if someone breaks the hands of a policeman?

Hey, you need not teach me the law.

I called him here for an inquiry. That's all.

What is it for?

Who knows if he has injected a chip inside his body?

Then, why have you locked him up in the jail, Ullas?

It should have become a case.

As there is no complaint,

and the parties have compromised with each other...

You may take him now.

Compromise?

When did that happen?

Let him free.

Why haven't you charged any case?

Advocate, this is a police station.

We will decide on what must be done here.

Go, go.

- Thank you, Sir. - Where are you going?

Get inside.

Get outside, fast.

If you lock someone inside the jail without a complaint,

a case will be charged against you. - Okay.

But advocate, we need a case in our name,

and not in his name, isn't it?

Did they thrash you badly?

You haven't replied yet.

Think about it.

You have time.

Sir...

In which hospital is the Sir whose hands have been broken?

He is in Medical College.

Won't you charge a case against me if I kill him?

Okay, then.

Two months.

I'll return the money in 2 months.

Otherwise, I'll transfer the money as soon as I reach Doha.

Meeran.

Why are you in the lab early morning?

Nothing, a slight chest pain.

I was told to take an ECG.

And a lot of blood tests too.

What about that guy?

If threatened, he will flee away from this place.

Now itself, he is half-dead.

But the only person I'm afraid of is our brother.

Crap!

Then, wear a purdah over this white and white.

Aren't you a man?

I'll get you highly competent fellows.

They will finish him off without any headache.

Not even the God will know about it.

Wanna see it?

Take care of the girl.

He might take her away.

Who? That guy?

No, her Daddy.

Her original Daddy.

Why should you bother if she goes?

But make sure that your wife doesn't go with him.

'Kindly cast your vote'

'in the symbol 'Iron Box''

'and let win the dearest of Manoor, Mrs P P Pankajam.'

'The person who knows us'

'and we knows...'

Where is she?

It's her phone.

What's this?

She is not coming home now.

Isn't she the one who is getting married?

No.

It's her mother's third marriage.

Yeah, that's possible.

It can't be switched ON.

Let's keep the matter of ONam and Vishu aside.

If I hadn't known about it today,

we could have celebrated Ramzan here.

It wasn't a thief who jumped over our compound wall.

It was a rascal who had come looking for her.

- For what? - To run away together.

Ah, best!!!

We have locked him up.

I raised her all these years,

is not for her to go to rack and ruin.

Even if it is for conducting her

marriage, or to bury her in the grave,

she can come here only when I ask her to come.

It's not because of the fear that her father will see her.

Eat it. If you obey me, you can live a peaceful life.

If you act smart, you will be killed.

I'm talking to him.

Are you listening to what I'm saying?

You must not only vote for me,

but support me throughout.

I promise that if I win,

I'll make sure that your problem is solved.

Otherwise, I'll resign.

You don't have to be dubious.

Trust me.

Sometimes, your brother Meeran will also contest this election.

But Moosa should stand with me, okay?

We must sabotage his drama.

We must tear off his mask.

But if he wins,

your condition is going to be pathetic.

Do you have vote here?

Who knows?

Even if you don't have a vote,

you must support me.

That's my strength,

and his fear.

They are partisans.

Won't you be there?

No way. He wouldn't support you.

Give it to me.

Who is she?

I don't know.

Are you here to ask for vote?

If you want, you may vote for him.

What vote?

In this election, he is also a candidate.

What? - I mean, he is contesting the election.

Yes, that's it.

You may go and ask him.

What I want to know is, if you will stand with me,

or with him,

or stand alone and contest the election.

Moosa is not going to win.

But if he contests the election,

people will come to know about him.

Then, your condition will be that of a hen,

who have taken fast on the day of Ramzan.

Utter tragedy!

What? Do you have doubt in it?

Yes, I do have some doubts.

How is he going to benefit if he stands with you?

I'll find a solution for the problem that he poses.

What do you say?

Your wife,

property...

About 30 lakhs of money that had been tricked out of

the government and the military.

Either you will end up in jail,

Or you can beg through the entire 18th ward.

You may contest the election.

Is it washing everyday?

What a foolish idea!

I kept my clothes near the furnace to dry quickly,

and now, they have become black smeared with soot.

When will it dry, and when will I get back home?

- Hey. - What?

Regarding the election...

Oh, I was simply saying it.

Still, you can give it a try.

And then?

You will fail in the election for sure.

You will be blasted off like Sivakasi crackers.

You won't even get the deposit money back.

Wanna bet?

That's for sure.

I myself don't have a vote.

That's it.

Even though you are a rough and tough guy,

you are intelligent.

How will a dead person contest an election?

Do you have your name in the voter's list?

Is it enough to just fill the application form?

None of the documents are there.

If it is so,

I'll have to reject the nomination right away.

Please don't reject it like this.

What law is it, Madam?

It's not me who framed the Panchayat Raj Act.

What about we approach a court?

You may file a case, or conduct Satyagraha.

That's your wish.

Let's go for hunger strike.

"Accept Moosa before he kicks the bucket."

Indefinite strike-2nd day.

I'll chop your hands off. Enough of eating.

- You will cut my hand. - Sit there.

Sit here.

What is it for?

Hey. It's poking me on my back.

- Don't poke the dead. - Thami...

I've been decorating the dead for the past 15 years.

No customer has told any complaint so far.

He is a person who had died once before.

- What's this? - With this, mosquitoes won't bite,

and it will give you the appearance of a dead body.

- It's okay if you don't want it. - Take it, and get lost.

Guess you didn't like its smell.

Pakistan was better than this.

Are you hungry?

Go and give it to your Daddy.

Tell me where he is.

I'll go and give it to him.

Tapioca is good for gas formation.

"I'm Moosa, I haven't died."

I'm a little hungry.

After some time, you will feel very hungry.

Then, you will become unconscious.

Sometimes, you may die.

That's what's called a hunger strike.

We need to salute him.

How many days does he stay without eating?

You don't even have any proof that you are alive.

Let alone contest an election.

You are an wholesale of foolishness.

- If so, come on, let's go. - No! No! No!

Anyway, we have begun the game, let's finish it.

Say that you are going to finish me off.

Son of a...

It's rolling. Start!

A poor soldier who sacrificed his life,

and fought for the country.

Now, with his strike, he is even ready to die for living.

- Sir, Sir... - Sir...

Hello.

It's okay even if he dies from starving.

The government must know that such a guy is living here.

Instead, a dead body will not instantly fall from the sky.

Come! Come!

Two monuments will be erected in Manoor.

One is of dead Moosa.

And the other is of Moosa, who is going to die.

Even if Moosa wants to give up,

the public will not give up.

We will conduct the strike even if we have to tie him up.

In reality, you are not watching the face of dead Moosa.

But the face of each and every ordinary man

who is dying each moment because of the prevailing system.

The face of a citizen who is treated as an alien in his own mother land.

What do you have to say about this?

Who are you asking this question to?

To Moosa. Aren't you Moosa?

That's what I'm also saying.

Now then, just a question more.

Will the government accept Moosa who rose from the dead?

Or will Moosa, who did not die in the bomb blast in the battle,

die from the hunger strike?

- Move aside. - Don't push.

You just have to tell us to move.

We are not here to arrest him, or to hang him to death.

They are from National media.

They want to talk to him.

They asked us for security, that's all.

But why do you need a medical team and an ambulance for that?

For medical checkup.

It's our duty.

So, please cooperate.

Everything is turned upside down.

Which newspaper is it?

Passenger, or Express, something like that.

Unrest has started.

Why do you overfill your tummy only because

you are getting the food for free?

I'm not talking about my stomach.

I mean the concerned people have started responding to the strike.

That's all we want.

Now I understand.

Are you not done?

- Coming with me to pee? - No.

I won't come with you to pee, if you wake me up in the midnight.

"I won't talk to you."

"I'm cross with you."

"Aren't you the thief in my dreams?"

Alas!

Hey!

- Where is Moosakka? -Who?

Where's Moosakka? That's what I'm asking.

I'm not the one to ask about him.

Go! Get lost!

Who else should I ask about him?

Weren't you the one who set fire to Pandal yesterday?

How come I?

Who else did it? Your dad?

I saw you throwing a bomb, and running away.

Dirty witch! Daughter of a dog!

Getting into the house and calling names?

I'll kick your...

Basheerka, don't do it.

You saw him? If you have seen him, you may file a case.

You be cool, Ikka. She saw, it seems.

What do you want? What's your problem?

Wow! See how beautifully he acts!

What an acting after sending people to kill your own sibling!

He has been living for me, for you,

and for the entire people of this land.

Try to kill him? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

You can't create problems over here.

- This is my house. - You own only the house.

But a soldier owns the entire country.

You can deliver punch dialogues across Walayar border.

If you act cocky, you will see my true colour.

No, Basheer!

It's you who is going to see colours.

Are you trying to kill someone who

did not die from battle tank firing,

with a silly petrol bomb?

If anything happens to him,

I'm not going to conduct any strike,

but will set you on fire in the middle of the road.

Without acting too smart, get lost, you country Tamilian.

Set fire, it seems!

Even if nobody wants Moosakka, I want him.

I want him alive.

What do you think?

His story is unbelievable, Sir.

But...

There is a big 'but' everywhere in this case.

In no angle, I feel that this guy is a fraud.

But...

I can't take him for granted also.

Fractured shoulder, uniform,

same ID tag.

Blood group.

Evidence of the circumstances.

Are we trapped or framed?

I need answers.

Got it?

Yes, Sir.

Habeas corpus?

Where are you calling from?

From my house?

But I didn't see you.

Sir, I'm not in the toilet, but at the verandah.

Oh!

Neither your family nor the police know where you are.

Throwing bomb in the middle of the road and...

Habeas Corpus means

bring the body dead or alive.

The body is inside.

It was alive.

I don't know if it has died from eating.

Watch him bash the food.

He's eating like an elephant.

I'm famished.

No wonder they sent you back to India.

You would have eaten up the whole of Pakistan.

Can't you at least inform us that you are here?

I lost my mobile phone.

Thank you.

The phone is alright, no?

Are You alright?

I'll be done with this.

I didn't ask if your tummy is full.

Foolish!

I asked if you were beaten up.

That's okay, dear.

Where did you get him from?

He was my first thing in the morning.

He was sleeping when I opened the door.

Come with us. We have lodged a complaint at the station

saying that you are missing.

Complaint to search for a dead person?

I'm not coming anywhere.

I'm going.

Have you come here to say, 'tata'?

Are you scared?

Fear?

That too, for me?

I haven't gotten scared of war. Let alone this.

It's fear, 100 percent.

That's visible in your sound. - Hey, girl...

I may pee out of fear, or jump and roll out of courage.

That's my affair.

Understand?

Yes, I understand it now.

Moosa is actually a dead body itself.

You are not going to find your father coming after me.

Not only me, but also my grandfather

will not be able to find your father.

Why? That means you know where he is.

You know what happened to my father.

Yes, I know.

He is dead.

His head blasted into pieces, and died in front of me.

God!

- Cheers, comrade! - "In the name of Allah."

Hey, don't go.

I'm not running away, comrade.

I'm going to make them run.

Leave my hand. Move.

It's mine.

It's (land) mine.

You stay there itself.

Stay there.

Hey.

Comrade, Is the mine made in China?

Bloody, Sons of Porikistan!

Dear...

I know.

If he was alive,

he would have come searching for me,

no matter where he is.

Moosakka, if you are telling the truth...

What's there to disbelieve in it? It's true! It's true!

Doubting my own father's death? I'm a fool!

Why didn't you tell this to me until now?

You could at least dream about your father coming home

for you someday.

At least, let his memories live.

After these many years,

it's for seeing my family that I came back home.

They do not need me now.

They need only the dead Moosa.

How did they identify that it was Moosa's body?

What is that stitch mark on your shoulder?

It's a steel rod. Inserted long back.

It has been many years.

Last time, when he came back home on leave,

Pappa's hands had fractured on hitting a bull in Jallikattu.

- Jallikattu? - Yes.

- You mean this guy...? - He had gone to see the event.

Somebody pushed him in front of a bull.

That makes sense.

He was recalled before his leaves expired.

What's your blood group?

B+

Same.

Is there any other proof to say that,

that was not your body?

DNA report?

Post postmortem?

Why not that was my Pappa's body?

A bone piece,

or a hair from the mud..

We can prove it in the DNA test.

I want to prove that my Pappa was not a soldier who runs away.

Means... It was not Moosa who was buried.

For that, we need to dig Moosa's grave.

I'll send you home in any Pandi lorry.

Get back home before your grandma dies.

Kunjipathu and Muhammad Moosa (Late).

You must come to the wedding.

Why is he not coming?

I didn't ask him to come.

I saw her last when she was a baby.

Where is she?

I'm leaving.

Just stop.

I bought it for Amina.

The bridal gift from her dead father.

I'll not come for the marriage.

You may go.

Kunji...

Shall we elope after her marriage?

I have only you.

Isn't it the soldiers who protect the country?

A love affair will be saved if you could help.

If daddy says...

If Moosakka says,

she will obey.

We will go to some other place.

Don't you know the pain of not being able to live

with the girl you love?

Are you planning to turn daddy into a broker?

Hello.

Hello.

I'm your father. Moosa!

I'm the hostel warden. Who do you want to speak to?

It's the warden.

- Ask her. - Can I get through Amina?

Which Amina?

The girl from Manoor, Malappuram.' - Yes.

I'm her father.

You have a call from home.

Hello.

Dear, Amina.

I'm your Pappa.

Do you remember me?

Heard that you are getting married.

Yes.

What is your fiancee doing?

He has a textile shop.

Where is it?

Two of them are in Tirur, and one in Manjeri.

If I ask you something, will you do it for me?

Keep it as a secret.

Yes.

Will you...

give me... some DNA?

I don't have any other way, my honey.

Don't spoil my Pappa's life.

You should be saying it to others no?

My Pappa is my Uncle.

How can your Uncle be your father?

That's how I have seen him.

He is a poor guy.

Don't ruin his family.

Amin...

What about me?

You don't need her.

She is someone who doesn't trust her own Pappa.

She will deceive you as well.

Dig the grave?

Is everyone mad?

What's going to remain in the soil after 20 years?

Just one strand of hair is enough.

Hair, it seems. Don't make me angry.

Do you know where the pit is?

Don't do stupid things

listening to this Pandi (Tamil) girl.

Her father's crap!

If you are coming, come with me, Sir.

We are going to dig the grave

during Moosakka's daughter's Mehandi function.

Bra... brainless!

What about we go for our plan B?

I mean... Your daughter's DNA is more than enough.

I'm a soldier.

I have not learned to beg.

If so, call me when you need bail.

If you are still alive.

Finally,

Are you going to dig the pit?

The pit has already been dug.

A trench, for not getting killed, and to kill others.

No Kuzhi Mandi and all. (A dish made inside an underground pit)

If you want, I can make you jack fruit puzhukku.

What a lady!

Meeran's sample taken from the lab.

Sample Y.

Moosa.

The samples that we'd collected during the hunger strike.

"Is it the shining moon hiding behind the coconut leaves"?

"Or is it your lovely face that I'd greatly desired for"?

"Or are you the lovely flower that blooms behind the thorny fence,"

"For all these years"?

"Is it the shining moon hiding behind the coconut leaves"?

"Or is it your lovely face that I'd greatly desired for"?

"Or are you the lovely flower that blooms behind the thorny fence,"

"For all these years"?

"Oh, girl who is dipped in perfumes."

"O' girl, you have a captivating smile."

"Come, sit on the silk cloth."

"Wear the forehead jewelry."

"O' your handsome groom is on his way up here."

"O' darling, both of your eyes are winking."

"Oh, girl who is dipped in perfumes."

"O' girl, you have a captivating smile."

"Come, sit on the silk cloth."

"Wear the forehead jewelry."

"O' your handsome groom is on his way up here."

"O' darling, both of your eyes are winking."

"Won't you enter into the room of my heart"

"With your decorated legs"?

"Won't you feed me the milk of love"?

"So that my first night will become sweet."

"O' my love, you are the love of my life."

"The ideal love I have been longing for."

Get your hands off me.

It's for this I have come to this place.

Shut your mouth, and come with me.

Somebody else has dug the grave before us.

Where's the skull?

Somebody has dug the grave before us.

Days before that.

Who the hell?

"Is it the shining moon hiding behind the coconut leaves"?

"Or is it your lovely face that I'd greatly desired for"?

"Or are you the lovely flower that blooms behind the thorny fence,"

"For all these years"?

"Why do you pretend to be upset"?

"We have seen what's there in your mind."

"No need to act shy, o' little flower."

"How did the scarf covered with jasmine flowers slip off"?

"Is it a trick to expose your beauty to the groom?

"Is it the shining moon hiding behind the coconut leaves"?

"Or is it your lovely face that I'd greatly desired for"?

"Or are you the lovely flower that blooms behind the thorny fence,"

"For all these years"?

"Is it the shining moon hiding behind the coconut leaves"?

"Or is it your lovely face that I'd greatly desired for"?

"Or are you the lovely flower that grew behind the thorny fence,"

No soda.

- Water is enough. - What's this?

Stop it.

Stop, I say.

Siraj, switch on the generator immediately.

Who's there?

Somebody is here.

Sit there itself.

Come on, quick.

Didn't I tell you earlier itself that

this is my final warning?

Son of a Dog.

Stop there!

That's up to the bank.

President, just a minute.

One minute.

What's it?

Moosa has entered the Mosque compound.

What's he doing in the mosque compound at this night?

He has come to dig his grave.

Did he get anything?

Yes, he got a lot of beatings from the people.

Good! Don't mind.

Where on earth has he gone?

Proceed.

Sir.

Come on.

Come on, Jawan.

Moron!

Let everyone see you.

Hey, Meeran.

Meeran, don't mess up...

If you dare touch my brother, I'll kill you, sons of dogs.

If there is anyone who isn't scared to die, come on.

And after killing them...?

Will you go to jail?

Is it for seeing that,

I lived for all these years?

It's not only for you,

but it's for each and every one of you standing here,

that soldiers like me are living a dreadful life.

If you will get peace only if you kill me,

you may kill me, and be happy.

If you enter the mosque, and dig the graves at midnight,

military or the prime minister, people will thrash you.

Don't talk about country love after doing bullshit.

You, Chawan. (Means Dead)

A Jawan is not someone who talks about country love,

but he is the one who has that feeling inside his heart.

That feeling will be there inside his heart until he dies.

And if I actually die,

that will be there on the land where I'm buried.

I'm a Muslim who has set off to the battle,

to fight and die for this country.

Moosa is not a Muslim who kills random people,

and searches for heaven.

I haven't dug out your mosque and taken it to Pakistan.

I thought you were a thief.

I haven't done anything that is haram (forbidden) in India.

I'll not do it in the future also.

You must bear in mind,

about the warriors who lost their lives in the dark, for you.

The real Amar Jawan Moosa Sir.

I was seeing if your photo has been replaced by a statue.

My father bought it for me.

Did your clothes dry?

Yes.

Will you come with me to my place?

Moosappa!

For me, Moosa is my Pappa.

Okay, then.

See you.

Jai Hind!

Stop there!

What is this?

Gift?

Your father.

Ambrose.

I guess your leaves are over.

Lance Naik Moosa.

I am Moosa.

Lance Naik Muhammad Moosa,

Late.

Now, I'm Honorary Captain Moosa.

Not dead...

But Moosa who is alive.

LIVE!

I'm super happy.

Not because everybody understood that I have not died.

But because my country accepted that I am a soldier.

Jai Hind!

When did you get my father from the grave?

Are you sure?

What?

What did he say?

Nothing.

What did your uncle say?

No idea.

"If death comes before I prove my valiance,

I'll definitely defeat death."

The words of Captain Manoj Veer Pande,

that was jotted down in his diary

before he left for the Kargil war.
