Thank you, Thank you.

Dear audience,

it's your hearty applause that give us, the artists,

the energy to perform.

Coming next to stage

with the trendy song, "O mama, Pyar tharamo",

which is now the favourite of youngsters across Kerala

is Souparnika's own singer, Blessy Philip.

Let's have a blast!

Why are you people so low on energy?

Shall we have a blast?

Come on!

My lover, can you give me some love?

My lover, are you my dream?

My lover, come to me.

Sir...

-Rajan Sir... -What?

Sir, just a minute.

What is it?

You said my duty will be over by 6. But...

I am helpless, Jyothi. Ask Radhakrishnan Sir.

-Sir... -Yes.

The music troupe's manager is calling.

He agreed to do the program because I had assured that I would be there.

Pick the call and tell him that you would come soon.

Go ahead.

Hello, Shaji.

Jyothi, come fast.

I had already told you that Nisar would not be here.

There is no one else to sing melody songs.

My dear Shaji...

SI is not so friendly.

I will try to come soon.

Ask Blessy to sing one more song.

Please, please.

Don't you hear?

She is already dying on stage!

Bro...

Jyothi, come fast.

Okay. I will come.

Sir...

You come. Let's ask the SI.

Come.

-Sir. -Yes.

Can you please relieve Jyothi from duty?

What happened?

He was assigned duty only until 6 o'clock.

I know.

The troupe performing here is from Jyothi's native place.

Is it?

He had agreed to join them.

Yes.

Jyothi, are you a singer?

I just try to be one Sir.

That's not true. He's indeed a great singer.

Oh really!

Then you may leave

so that I too can hear you sing.

Thank you, Sir.

My lover, can you give me some love.

-Sir, I am leaving. -Okay.

-Sir... -Yes.

-I am leaving -Okay.

My lover, are you my dream?

My lover, come to me...

My lover, can you come with me?

My love is magic And your love is tonic

can you come with me for sure?

Shaji...

Jyothi, you gave me a hard time.

There's is no one else to sing the next song.

Go fast.

Let me change my uniform.

Where's the dress you brought from home?

Oh no! It's in the van.

Is it?

But it's parked outside the temple compound.

Oh no!

Get on to the stage now.

I will bring it before the next song.

Shaji, Radhakrishnan Sir is there.

I can't perform wearing the uniform.

You have got his permission, right?

Yes.

Then it will be okay. You come.

Jyothi, I am going to announce.

You come.

Shaji...

-Get on to the stage fast! -Shaji...

Hey!

We are now taking you back

to the golden era of Malayalam Movie songs.

Souparnika Orchestra's celestial voice...

Mr. Jyothikumar...

is on stage for his first performance of the night.

Oh, my eternal beauty!

Oh, my symphony of truth!

I am just an earthen harp

that you created

to sing your glory

in diverse tunes...

Oh, my eternal beauty!

The red sky

and this Earth below

are nothing but your sacred abode,

Oh, divine love...

The red sky

and this Earth below

are nothing but your sacred abode,

Oh, divine love...

Its magnificent tower

is lit with a thousand lamps

and burning candles.

The birds are praising its beauty with their sweet songs.

I too am singing softly with them.

Oh, my eternal beauty!

Oh, my symphony of truth!

I wish we were the flowers for veneration

that are kept on platters

and placed on your divine feet.

I wish we were the flowers for veneration

that are kept on platters

and placed on your divine feet.

We are ready to be born as those flowers

for a thousand times

Because you are the love that the blooming flowers

with little droplets on their petals

search for...

Oh, my eternal beauty!

Oh, my symphony of truth!

I am just an earthen harp

that you created

to sing your glory

in diverse tunes...

Oh, my eternal beauty!

POLICE STATION VANIYAMKULAM

You are late even today.

I overslept.

Hey, sir!

Hey, hey, Jyothi!

Where the hell were you?

Sir, I reached home late after the program yesterday.

Today is the day to present the evidence for that case in Court.

I remember Rajan sir.

Please get me that file.

I knew you would be late.

So, I brought all that from CI's room and kept it here.

-So kind of you. -Or else you will be screwed.

-You are really great sir. -Go fast.

Okay.

-Jyothi sir. -Yes.

Yesterday's program was superb.

-Really? -Yes.

-Were you present there? -Of course.

The song that you sung

was incredible.

Voice variations were excellent.

Oh, my eternal beauty...

Oh, no!

No... Not there... Here.

Below?

Beauty....

Beauty....

Excellent! Why are you here?

All I did was to sell some ganja. And they bought me here!

You haven't left yet?

I accidentally met a fan.

He is a music lover.

I am taking leave.

Bye.

-What? -Nothing.

Sir, your mustache is so nice!

You look so manly!

Leave me alone!

Just kidding.

Isn't it good? Ticket.

Yes, it's fantastic.

Watch this.

Why do they create such crap?

The same person has done something else.

It is better than this.

Really?

Show me.

Why don't you send it to me?

I sent yesterday. Check your messages.

-When? -No?

-Is this the one? -Yes. This is the one.

Usually you send me crappy reels.

Check its views.

Unbelievable!

It's fantastic.

Hello! Hey!

-I can't believe it. -Bro...

Hello!

Could you please reduce the volume of your phone?

It's a nuisance. I am not able to listen to the music.

This song is so dull.

It will make me depressed.

These oldies are too much. Spoiled the mood.

Saji, please stop this crappy music.

-Hey! -What?

Do you know anything about maestros like Johnson and Raveendran?

Why should we know?

Who are they? Your music teachers?

Idiots!

Why are you getting angry?

Do you know anything about music?

As if we need music knowledge to travel by bus.

Why does this song irritate you so much?

Can't we express our opinion?

Can't we?

You will understand it only if you have some brains.

-Then check if I have brains. -Sir, they are kids. Leave it.

Why are you taking his side?

Is it because he is a Policeman?

Not because I am a policeman. But because they are a nuisance.

If you want to travel as you please,

you must go in police jeep.

Don't teach us music instead.

Did I ask your opinion? You sit there.

Don't try to scare me.

You should have some music sense.

These old songs...

Calm down, Sir.

Just go away!

You won't like these songs.

You only like those buffoonery.

Go away!

Please sit down.

Go away, Sir.

Go!

Take a cab or something.

Don't create trouble.

Go to that paddy field and do your music practice.

-Go away! -Come in police jeep.

Oh no!

Sir, I have reached.

Where? Jyothi!

-Bhaskaran sir... -You are so late!

-Where is the file? -I have brought it.

Bus was late. That's why.

Fast!

One minute!

It's here.

Where?

Don't you have the file with you?

Then why the hell did you come here?

You fool!

Where the hell did you lose the file?

I sent him because you told me to.

I am fed up of these idiots.

You have two large eyes.

Still you could not keep the file.

Such a useless!

How many years have you been in service?

Eleven.

But you have not learned to be responsible yet.

If you can't, go find some other job.

Why are you not saying anything?

-Rajan! -Yes Sir.

Let's attach him to AR camp.

Let him take part in parades for some time.

I should have ordered a suspension for you.

You are lucky that we got the file back.

We don't want you in Local Police anymore.

We don't have time to waste on idiots like you.

Do you understand what I am saying?

Then leave.

My fate! Why do all such idiots end up with me!

Shall I offer you a tea?

No. I am already full.

-Jyothi... -Yes.

You need not worry.

You are an artist.

It is not possible for artists like you

to carry much sadness in their hearts.

I am worried what will be my condition at the camp.

Go and meet CI Anirudhan Sir.

He is now the District Secretary of Police Officers Association.

And he likes you.

He can help you get a better posting.

I don't want to trouble Anirudhan Sir.

Then go to the camp.

They are forming a special team to hunt the Maoists.

You join them.

-Maoist? -Yes.

Palakkad District Court gave consent

to the police to take Maoist leader Manu into custody

in order to interrogate him for anti-national activities

and for possessing weapons.

The order for the 14-day remand and police custody

was issued by District Judge Venkatesh Balaji.

Notorious Maoist leader Ganeshan

is believed to have been killed

during the encounter in the police encounter.

Manu, who is the Western Ghats Zonal Committee Secretary of Maoists,

was arrested during a well-planned operation of the Thunderbolt.

But...

Didn't Anirudhan sir agree to look into it by tomorrow?

Then why are you still worried?

If I don't get another posting...

They know that you are not capable of catching Maoists and all.

What?

Even the sound of gun shot will make you fall unconscious.

Dear, don't say so openly that your husband is a scaredy-cat.

Go away.

Check if our daughter is asleep.

I want to practice.

I don't want. Go.

-Jyothi. -Yes.

All your notes are out of tune.

I am out of everything.

Not only out of tune.

Never point out a mistake!

Sir...

Good job! Let's take a break.

Didn't you like their performance?

You don't seem to be happy.

My life itself is out of rhythm now.

Don't worry.

I will take care of your posting.

But you must sing two songs for me

at our Association's program.

I didn't get you.

I have recommended you

to the post of Personal Security Officer

of District Judge Venkatesh Balaji.

Personal Security Officer means?

PSO!

You mean as a 'Flask'?

Yes. Why? Are you not happy?

Members of the Local Police may taunt you

by calling you the flask holder of the Judge or so.

Don't take it seriously.

Don't you know the competition for the PSO post.

I got this for you

by considering it as a case of my special interest.

Thank you, Sir.

I don't want your 'Thank you' and all.

Just don't forget the two songs at our annual meeting.

I will sing as much as you want.

Then okay.

Let's try once again.

One... Two... Three... Start!

SP will issue the order tomorrow.

They have told me to get relieved

and join for duty at the Judge's Office tomorrow itself.

Don't they call PSOs something funny?

What was that? A spittoon?

A bottle?

My dear Nisha,

It's not spittoon. It's flask.

It's because they are jealous.

So actually what is the duty of the PSO?

Be with the Judge all the time.

-Is it? - Just like a Judge's wagging tail!

I will have to stay near the Judge's house.

Okay.

-There will be two PSOs. -Okay.

The one who is there is a new joinee, it seems.

Okay.

If I can make an arrangement with him,

I can come home for two days

after two days of duty.

If our troupe's programs could also be adjusted accordingly,

I can go and perform as well.

So, will you also have duty at night?

The duty time is until the Judge switches off all the lights at night.

What if he forgets to switch off the lights?

I have no other option.

I should go tomorrow itself.

Dear, get me some more gruel.

-Aren't you Jyothikumar? -Yes.

You have been asked to go inside.

Let the verification get completed.

I will check and tell you.

I will call you. Alright.

-Aren't you Jyothikumar? -Yes.

Your passport was somewhere here... yes!

You have been posted as the PSO of Venkatesh Balaji. Hope you know that.

-I know. -Okay.

He is a different kind of person.

Don't create trouble for us after going there.

-I won't. -Okay.

Last year I performed well.

Now it will be easy.

He is here.

CC 246/24 Petitioner State of Kerala versus accused Manu Prasad.

Sir...

For the petitioner, Your Honor.

It's the application of remand. I am submitting it here.

Does the advocate of the accused have anything to say?

My Lord,

My client suffered health problems

during the past few days.

I am submitting application for bail

and the report of the Medical Officer at the District Hospital.

As per the report of the doctor,

the accused does not have serious health issues.

So, it's not necessary

to admit him to the hospital.

Not only that,

it will be a security challenge for the police.

So, I am remanding the accused to Viyyur Central Jail.

Does the accused have anything to say?

Honorable Court,

through the false cases filed against me,

it is the protests of the poor that are being oppressed.

This government is militarizing the society.

Under the pretense of Janamaitri Police

the government is using the police

to monitor common people.

They threaten them and scare them

to testify against me.

Court is not the place for political lectures.

You can do it in front of the cameras waiting outside.

Remanding the accused for 14 days

to Viyyur Central Jail.

Madam, Good Morning.

-Yes? -I am Jyothikumar.

I am posted as the PSO of the District Judge.

-Okay -Nonsense!

-Don't bother about it. -Sorry, Sir.

Madam, here is my passport.

They had informed us

that the new PSO would join yesterday.

I got relieved from duty only today.

Oh.

Keep your bag there.

Come with me.

Reshma, don't make such silly mistakes again while typing.

I can't write clearer than this.

-Have you heard me? -Yes, sir.

I want it done as soon as possible.

Do you understand?

-Be fast. -Yes, sir.

Sir, this is your new PSO. Jyothikumar.

Have you brought the weapon?

-Weapon... Err... -What?

Why are you acting like an idiot?

I am talking about the pistol.

Did the Department give you a pistol?

No, sir. I don't have a Pistol.

But I have passport.

Here...

How are you going to protect me

without a weapon?

Are you trained in any martial arts?

-I mean... Kalari... Karate... Kung Fu? -No.

They are sending all the useless ones to me.

Do you at least know

that you have been sent here to protect me?

Yes, Sir.

Call to the SP office

and follow up on issuing a weapon to the PSO.

Yes, Sir.

I need at least one person on duty for all 24 hours.

Yes Sir.

You can take turns day and night.

You will stay at a quarters near my house.

Make arrangements for his stay there.

Okay, Sir.

Thank you, Madam.

Did you forgot to salute him?

At the station, it was one salute in the morning

and one at the end of duty.

If you salute too often,

then you may get scolded.

It's not like that here.

Is it?

In the morning, at night,

in the evening and at light-off time.

Whenever possible, you should salute him.

He is very strict.

Hopefully he has not heard us.

I have already been told that.

How long have you been here with Balaji sir, Salman?

It's been one year.

Let me tell you this.

If both of us cooperate and help each other

this will be an easy job.

You need not worry.

I will explain how to do everything.

Now you may go home.

We will meet in the evening.

Okay.

Such a nice human!

Sir...

Aren't you the new security guard?

No. I am the new PSO.

Okay. I am Usha. The sweeper.

Sweeper?

The one who does all the chores here.

What about Balaji Sir's family?

He has one wife and one son here!

Surya, dear!

He is the new security guard.

Okay.

It's his son.

-Here. -Okay.

-Sir... -Yes.

Shall I go to the room

and show around everything to the new PSO?

What is his name?

Jyothi... Jyothikumar.

Ask him to come here.

Okay.

-Meenamma. -Yes.

Where is Aravindan?

I didn't see him since noon.

Present Sir!

I was preparing coffee for you.

Before that, I went outside

to buy your favourite sweet potatoes.

That's why Madam didn't see me until now.

Where are you from?

Chalissery, Sir.

Where were you posted earlier?

I was with the Local Police.

Vaniyamkulam Station.

You should report for duty on time.

Yes Sir.

I should not see you without wearing uniform during the duty time.

If you want leave,

you should inform Kumari beforehand.

Don't come here to sleep

when you are on night duty.

Yes Sir.

-Meenamma. -Yes.

He is the new PSO.

Do you drink or smoke?

No sir.

I go for singing on holidays.

So I don't drink or smoke

as it might affect my voice.

You can sing and dance at your own home. Not here.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

Won't you be in trouble if Balaji Sir comes to know about all these?

As if I have to take his permission to drink.

Dear Jyothi Sir...

Sometimes, when I hear his nonsense

I feel like hitting the car on some tree.

I just don't do it because I am also inside that damn car.

Hey Salman!

Yes.

Do you want a sip?

No, no.

I have night duty.

-If he comes to know... -Then don't.

I am not insisting because the bottle is mine!

But, I have gone near him drunk several times

and he has never found out!

Really? But how?

I use a trick.

When I go near him

I will hold my breath

and stand like this.

It's gone.

-Salman... -I lost...

What...

I am jinxing it. You won't get the kick.

Can't you pour the drink on your own?

I don't have time, sweetie.

Do come in the morning, Sir.

-Okay. -Okay.

Are you happy now?

Why don't you pour one for him?

Shall I fix one for you?

Tomorrow, you will have to be with him right from morning.

No. I don't drink.

Then at least have some peanuts.

No, thanks. I have some indigestion problems as well.

Jyothi Sir...

He hates singers more than drunkards.

True.

I have never seen him listening to music. Not even once.

He does not even allow me to switch on the radio in the car.

Its speakers are catching rust.

Balaji Sir is a peculiar type of person. Isn't he?

No.

He is just crazy.

As if!

I need to call someone.

Yes. Call everyone and tell them.

Let everybody know.

No... What I was saying is that....

Understood. Keep quiet.

Let everybody know about him.

You go and make the call.

Is he going to tell Balaji sir?

Let he also know about himself.

You got high with just one peg?

Tell me, Jyothi.

Sir, I joined for duty.

I called to inform you that.

Good. How is Balaji sir?

He is very strict.

He yelled at me at the time of joining

saying that I don't have weapon.

Oh, really?

The Department does not have enough guns

to give to those who are sent to catch the Maoists.

Let alone the District Judge!

It will take some sweet time for the process.

And, who are so desperate to attack a man like him?

Don't take all that seriously.

Jyothi, listen.

Our program is on 18th of this month.

Don't forget.

I won't.

Then see you. Bye.

Bye, sir.

The world is round.

You live there scared.

The world is round.

You live there scared.

What a pathetic life.

The world will see

the distance you go.

They will feel happy

when they see you drown.

But you will be hurting inside.

It's all rushing here and there

with a flask hung on your shoulder.

Shaji, I am inside the court.

That's why I cut your call.

Anything urgent?

Jyothi, this is festival season.

I am having a tough time without you.

Dear Shaji, you don't understand my condition here.

Try to come somehow.

Shaji, I will call you.

Jyothi, don't hang up!

The boss is rushing.

You have to run after him like a shadow.

You wait at the door.

When you get the order,

you should be ready to go.

The struggle to make the ends meet

does not end even at midnight.

Roles change, life gets speedier.

It's full of problems and troubles!

It's a struggle.

It's sarcasm.

It's nonsense.

Your laughter.

The world is round.

You live there scared.

The world is round.

You live there scared.

What a pathetic life.

The world will see

The distance you go.

They will be happy

when they see you drown.

But you will be hurting inside

It's all rushing here and there

with a flask hung on your shoulder.

Solomon, are you sleeping?

The road is full of water because it rained yesterday.

I couldn't see the pothole. Sorry.

Is the cap jumping off your head?

Sorry, sir.

Hello, Mr. Kurian.

Balaji...

I called you yesterday. But you were not available.

-Is it? -The program is day after tomorrow, right?

Yes. It's on Wednesday.

Heard the new PSO took charge.

They are sending all the useless ones to us.

I should talk to the SP.

You should.

Did your new PSO get weapon?

Yes. It has been a week.

He got, right?

Yes.

Okay, then.

I shall meet you day after tomorrow.

Okay. See you.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

Hey! How dare they!

Jyothikumar! Call to the Station

and ask to catch them.

Okay, sir.

They must be some gold-chain snatchers.

-Ask them to arrest them quickly. -Yes, sir.

Did you note down that vehicle's number?

No, Sir.

Then what information are you going to give them in the complaint?

Sir...

For what purpose are you sitting in the front?

I remember the motorbike's color.

Oh that will make things easy!

Such a useless!

He's accused of being the mastermind of several notorious cases

including the Pondicherry Train Attack case

in which around 70 people were killed...

I can hear you, Sooraj.

Now I am standing in the compound of Palakkad District Court.

It is informed that Maoist Leader Manu

will come out within a few minutes.

As per the latest information,

the court has rejected Manu's bail petition.

District Judge Venkatesh Balaji rejected the bail petition citing security reasons.

Manu applied for bail to visit his ailing mother.

Manu's remand has been extended for 14 more days.

He will be sent to Viyyur jail.

Sooraj, the police have arranged tight security for Manu.

Manu, what do you have to say

about the court rejecting your bail plea?

Isn't this clearly denying you a fundamental right?

-Manu, tell us. Please. -Professor Manu, say something.

This fight is not over yet.

If you put me in jail,

a thousand others will come forward to continue this fight.

War cries will again rise from the graves you secretly covered.

Victory for Revolution!

Victory for Revolution!

Don't you think this is state terrorism?

Don't think everything is over yet.

Victory for Revolution!

What do you mean by that?

Is it a threat aimed at the government?

Manu... Professor Manu, say that too.

Bro... Hello!

Hey!

What happened, sir?

I doubt if that's the bike that hit on our car.

They left when I called them.

Are you crazy to file a case against them as he said?

He does it all the time.

That's his time-pass.

You come. Let's have tea.

Come.

"The driver who verbally abused the Collector..."

Where is your cap?

Sorry, sir.

Shut up!

Useless!

You should have been more careful.

I think it's some problem with your horoscope.

That's true. But now I am used to it.

Madam asked me to give this to you.

It has the list of groceries to buy.

Okay.

Are you going to your room?

Yes. I didn't sleep properly yesterday night.

Balaji sir is like that. You need not get upset.

But Meena Madam is different.

You just have to be nice to her.

Then Balaji sir will not shout at you like this.

But I don't even see her.

There is a way.

Go to the market and buy these groceries.

So you can build a rapport with her.

But... how will I... that too wearing this uniform...

Go to your room, change the uniform and go.

I am just creating a chance for you.

Otherwise, I will go.

No.

-Give that to me. -Here.

Go...

You should inform me if you get any news. Okay.

Hello, Jyothi!

Why are you here?

You remember that accused in the ganja case?

Your fanboy.

He took bail and absconded.

We are searching for him.

Okay.

Shivan Sir is here.

Give him a salute.

Hey Jyothi. You have put on some weight.

Is it because you don't have the troubles of the Local Police anymore?

May be because you are now a 'Flask'?

Why are you here?

I am here to buy some groceries for Balaji Sir.

If a policeman does not have self-respect,

it is better for him to remain a slave.

You can sing his praises in the morning.

And at night, you can go and sing with your music troupe.

Rajan, get in.

We need to do the actual work to earn our salary.

How shameful!

Let's move.

Did he come?

Yes, its been a while.

I overslept.

I was waiting for you.

You may leave then.

I will be on leave tomorrow.

On leave?

I have informed Balaji sir.

A prospective groom is coming to meet my sister-in-law.

So I should be present there.

When will you be back, Salman?

Day after tomorrow. Right in the morning.

It's urgent. That's why.

Please adjust.

Does it mean a 36-hour duty for me?

After your night duty

you can go and freshen up, then come back again.

Then, Sir and Madam will be going for a party.

So, I am taking leave.

Okay, then.

Take good care of them.

-Okay. -Then bye.

I will call you. Okay?

Why did you agree to that?

He is good at coaxing Balaji Sir,

so that he can have his way.

He is a good manipulator.

We will leave soon.

-Be here. -Okay, sir.

-Meenamma... -Yes.

Don't know how long we will have to sit here like this!

How long have you been with Balaji sir?

Around one-and-a-half years.

Do you know Sambasivan Sir, who retired as Principal District Judge?

-Yes. -I was with him.

Compared to Balaji, he was a pure gem.

Why?

You won't believe.

He treated all of us like his own family members.

Okay.

Every morning, he himself would prepare a tea for the policeman on duty.

Really?

He will buy new clothes for us during Onam.

Leaves, bonuses... everything as much as you want. I was so happy.

Are there people like that?

Yes. But they are rare.

I also know a Judge, who dismissed a policeman,

because he refused to pick litter from his courtyard.

People are of different types.

Did you eat something?

Yes. I had.

After I joined under him,

I will go and eat whenever I get some free time.

Just to be safe! What about you?

No. I had to rush because they were late.

Shall we go out?

No, that's okay.

He said he would come soon.

Why don't you have some food from here?

No, that would be inappropriate.

Please buy a parcel food for me after taking Sir home.

That shouldn't be a problem!

Hope he would be back soon.

Only the devil knows what he is going to do!

Seems you are very hungry...

A little bit.

You should not sleep at night.

Okay, sir.

I have some important files to check.

I will be late to go to sleep.

If I need anything, I will call you.

Okay, Sir.

We should leave early tomorrow.

Flag-hoisting ceremony is there at the Court.

Okay Sir.

And...

Advance Happy Independence Day.

-Sir, happy... -Don't sleep.

Above your head is the sky

and under your feet the burning earth.

And you just stand there lazily

with your hands crossed.

Though the life is not as you wish

You must go ahead as you can. Nothing doing.

Even when you don't have anyone to support you

You must go ahead without falling. Nothing doing.

Now luck must smile down you. Nothing doing.

Your destiny will continue to play its part. Nothing doing.

You should not play around even for one second. Nothing doing.

All you have to do is to bow down and sit quietly. Nothing doing.

Above your head is the sky

and under your feet is the burning earth.

And you just stand there lazily

with your hands crossed.

Sir, it's your duty. You will get roti.

Don't get overexcited and get in trouble, you naughty!

Sir, it's your duty...

-Sir... -Yes.

It's already 6:45. Go and freshen up.

...and get in trouble, you naughty!

Careful.

Above your head is the sky

and under your feet is the burning earth.

Mom, you can go to the wedding on your own.

I won't get leave.

I've already told you the situation here.

When I asked for leave for just one day, he asked me to leave the job.

He is a peculiar person.

Yes!

Sir, please place it on the vehicle.

I will call you back.

Coming!

You must go ahead as you can. Nothing doing.

Even when you don't have anyone to support you

It would be good if you wash the glass once in a while.

Okay.

-Solomon. -Yes.

Kumari Madam is calling you.

Yes. I am about to go there.

I will pay later.

Sir, what do you want?

-Pour three cups of tea into this. -Okay.

And one black tea for me.

Okay.

Bright with the glory of moonlight...

adorned beautifully with blossoms...

I feel at peace when I listen to this song.

"In the Judge's car..." My God!

My goodness!

Hey, Solomon!

You placed the flag upside down. Didn't you?

He doesn't have WhatsApp. Even he knew.

Oh, no! Balaji sir!

Where the hell is he?

-Jyothi sir! -Solomon.

We are in trouble!

The national flag was placed upside down on the Judge's car.

Green came on top and Saffron below. At least the white is correct!

It's total mess there. You come fast.

Fast!

You made a mess. Didn't you, sir?

Madam, Jyothi sir is here.

Come!

Go inside.

Oh, no!

Jyothi.

Get up.

Open your eyes.

See who has come to meet you.

Wake up, Jyothi.

Sir!

Don't worry. You are at home.

How are you feeling now?

His blood pressure shot up a bit. He will be okay after two days of rest.

What is so stressful about your job that your pressure shot up?

After all, you are an artist.

Why do you worry unnecessarily?

I am thinking about taking a long leave.

That's a good idea.

If you are here, we will get more programs.

It has been days since I sang from my heart.

Dear,

people would gather to listen to his songs, even at midnight.

You get well soon and come to me.

We will fix everything.

-Dear... -Yes.

Let me take leave.

-Shall I leave? -Okay, Shaji.

Call me if you need anything.

-Okay? -Okay.

Shaji is going. Bye. Good night.

That was some showering of love!

Did you loose your mind when your BP shot up?

Are you going to take a long leave and focus on singing?

I have already told you about the situation there.

The Madam who brought you here promised that

Balaji Sir would take care of the issues there.

But...

Shaji is saying all that because he wants to get more programs.

Don't be so naive.

If you focus on singing, how will we manage to meet the ends?

You are tired because you didn't sleep.

Take rest for two days and then join for duty.

Now come. Let's eat something.

I think I have fever.

Jyothi... Just forget about that long leave.

Is your health okay?

Yes Sir.

Who is on night duty today?

It's me, Sir.

Then Jyothikumar should come with me to Wayanad tomorrow.

I need to attend a wedding there.

Take clothes for three days.

Okay.

Hey, don't worry.

Let's talk to Salman.

He is here.

I am in a trouble, Salman.

Please help me.

I will do the night duty.

Can you please go with him?

I have committed a program.

I have promised CI Anirudhan Sir

that I would sing at the District Annual Meet

of Police Officers's Association.

But I am now in a bigger trouble than you.

My father-in-law's uncle passed away.

I have to take her family to Trivandrum tomorrow.

I couldn't say no. Otherwise I would have adjusted.

Please help me, bro.

Anirudhan Sir has helped me a lot. So I have an obligation.

I never thought he would ask me to accompany him now

for a long trip all of a sudden.

You must consider the situation at my house also.

I've just informed Balaji Sir that I won't be there tomorrow.

It's unavoidable for him. Why don't you help him?

You need not interfere in this Solomon.

This is not fair, Salman.

I have adjusted a lot for you.

What?

What did you do? This is too much!

He just came.

As if I will do extra duty so that he can go sing his crappy songs!

-He is helpless. -He is just messing around!

Oh dear. I am trapped.

Right from this moment.

Now let me cry

without anyone watching.

Let me sing

without anyone hearing.

Let me smile

without revealing my emotions.

Oh dear. I am trapped.

Right from this moment.

Solomon!

The smell of elephants.

On top of everything!

I need water!

Give me some water.

Sir, here.

I don't want.

What do you people want?

Who is your leader?

We don't have any leaders here, Balaji sir.

Who are you?

Even I don't know who I am.

But the government has given us several names.

Traitors...

Terrorists...

Murderers...

and so on.

What is your name?

Name?

I don't remember that either.

But I have a name that the Police have given me.

Ganeshan.

Are you Maoist Ganeshan?

Jyothikumar was also there in the car of Justice Venkatesh Balaji

that was attacked by Maoists yesterday.

As per information from the hospital,

the driver's health is improving.

The police sources have said that the testimony of driver Solomon

would be highly crucial.

The family of PSO Jyothikumar is also waiting for the driver's testimony

so that they would be able to know what exactly happened to him.

You are not sure whether your son is dead or alive now.

What do you have to say in this situation?

Shaji, don't you see this?

Still I am asking, this...

Hello, hello!

Please move.

Please... Please.

Please move. Dear, please.

Sir, say something.

Dear, please move.

Dear, please take your camera away.

You too ask him.

Let him breathe.

Please understand his situation.

Dear, please move.

He is sitting here sadly without knowing what to do.

Nisha, don't worry.

Last time when he came, he said he wanted to take a long leave.

But I didn't agree.

Don't think about all that now.

The police is searching for him.

Jyothi does not love his job as a policeman.

He is not brave enough to be a policeman.

He is so naive.

Yes.

-True. -True.

It's not like that Nirmala.

Jyothi is brave indeed.

But in this case, more number of men would have come.

Otherwise, he would have saved Balaji sir somehow.

He also has blood pressure issues.

So, it would be a problem if he does not get food on time.

If he is angry, he would not have food at all.

That is why I am worried.

Don't cry.

-Bro. -Yes.

Please give me some salt.

Also, some more gruel.

Here.

And gruel?

Eat what you have.

Sir, I would like to have some more gruel.

If there is not enough rice for everyone, it's okay.

Some rice water at least...

Yesterday, we walked such a long distance.

That's why I am tired.

I also have high blood pressure.

Doctor has particularly told me

that I should not do any heavy physical tasks.

So, I do not even go to AR camp parades.

Balaji sir.

Don't be so adamant. Eat something.

Anyway, you will be here until your government releases Manu.

I don't care if I die starving here.

But Manu will not be released.

See, how Jyothi sir eats peacefully without any trouble.

You are our guests here.

Please have something.

I told you that I don't want anything.

It's good that my side of the car hit the tree.

My leg is broken. But at least I am alive.

I remembered that old story of the bear.

So, I lied like I was dead.

Otherwise, they would have abducted me also.

Seems you have a longer lifespan.

Me too.

Otherwise, I would have agreed to Jyothi and gone with Balaji instead.

True.

Son, do you want orange?

-I don't want, Mom. -Give that to me.

I am worried about Jyothi.

I fear that Balaji Sir would kill him,

even before the Maoists kill him.

-That's a possibility! -That's a possibility!

I have brought some fruits for you.

Jackfruit?

Isn't jackfruit a fruit?

Where do I put this...

Keep it here.

When the doctor comes, I will ask him to cut this as well.

That's a good idea.

-Come. -Such a...

-Bye. -Go away.

It's the 'Koozha' variety.

What?

It's the Koozha variety of jackfruit.

My foot!

Check what else we need and tell Maniyan when he comes.

-Ganeshan. -Okay.

They have asked for photos of them

to prove that they are safe.

Sir.

Yes.

Are you hungry?

The gruel was tasty. Hence asked.

Balaji sir.

We need a photo of both of you

to convince the government that you are safe here.

Hey!

Please! Don't hurt him!

-Don't hurt him, please. -What is this?

Come here.

-Leave me. -Let go off him.

Sit here.

Click the photo.

Sir, smile.

This might be the last photo our families would be getting.

At least they would think that we died happily.

Today, State Police Head informed the media

that efforts for a negotiation with the Maoists

have been underway for the past 24 hours.

The main demand of the Organization

is the release of Maoist leader Manu

who was arrested during the joint operation

of Kerala Police and Thunderbolt last month.

The press release issued by the Organization states that

-both the captives are in good health... - Dear, here is his photo.

-...and that they are cooperating. -It has come on WhatsApp. Here.

-Wait for more news... -Look at this photo.

-...after a small break -He is smiling and happy.

Isn't he, dear? Look.

He has not gone there on vacation.

No...

Balaji Sir.

Do you have any discomfort?

No, it's very comfortable here.

If you had eaten something, you would have been able to sleep well.

Aren't you ashamed to say this to me?

Sir, they are going to kill us anyway.

Do you think the government will release that guy? Never!

Anyway we are going to die.

So, it is better to look for our comfort until then.

It is better to die with some dignity than eating their leftovers.

So, you are also sure that we will die.

These damn leeches!

If the teeth of the leech remain in your leg,

it will itch all the time.

Why is the leech not biting you?

The leeches here don't get high class blood that often.

My blood is only middle class.

Even if they bite, it won't affect me.

It is more bearable than what I go through every day.

Pray and try to sleep.

I don't believe in God.

Why? Did God abscond after borrowing money from you?

You are a devotee. But you are also lying here with me, waiting to die.

That's his mastermind!

You are not somebody who must die like this.

But look, how pathetically you are going to die with me.

Am I right?

At least now you have realised the value of sleep.

Hey, Jyothikumar.

Why are you here?

I am here to take a dump.

What else are you here for?

Go somewhere else.

Better you turn around.

As if!

-Hey! -Yes!

Come here.

Clear this bush.

Okay.

Why should I?

What's the problem?

It's not the duty of the police

to make the arrangements for the Judge to take a dump.

I will...

Really?

They are about to kill you. Still no end to your arrogance!

If you throw this water away, you won't get water again.

He thinks he would get a European closet in the middle of this jungle.

I will teach you a lesson.

They are going to kill you first, it seems.

So, don't keep any such expectations.

My lover, give me some love.

My lover, please come to me.

Yesterday, I tried hard to fix it.

See, it's because the gun is old.

-Okay. -You need to load it correctly.

That must be the problem.

-Bro. -Yes.

-Please come. -Me?

It's getting stuck when the bolt is locked.

See?

Yes.

Do you remember me?

When your bike hit Balaji Sir's vehicle,

I was the one who told him not to file any case.

But then I didn't know that you are such a terror!

Bro. I want to tell you something.

It will recoil.

I want to tell you...

Tell him.

-No? -Check other guns too.

Okay. Will do.

Okay, then.

-Excuse me. -What is it Jyothi sir?

Ganeshan bro.

Yes.

I want to tell you something.

Tell me.

Why don't you abandon me somewhere

after tying my eyes, legs and hands?

Don't think that I am convincing you.

But if we think logically,

you won't have any benefit from keeping me here.

They won't release your leader even if you kill me.

You have benefit only with Balaji sir.

Let him stay here.

Abandon me somewhere.

I am not intelligent enough to tell anyone where this place is.

Just a second.

Balaji sir.

Your security officer is asking me

to keep you here and release him.

Oh no!

What should I do?

Sir... If we think logically,

there is no particular benefit for them if I stay here.

Besides, food is also scarce here.

If one person goes, there would be enough food for everyone.

He is convinced. He will stay!

Okay.

-You can go. -Really?

Yes.

-But one condition. -What is it?

Here.

I will give you three bullets.

You should hit at least one of those three bottles.

For real?

Yes.

Hold this pot for me.

It's loaded, right?

Yes, it is.

What happened? Did it hurt?

Not at all!

Then shoot again.

Missed that as well!

Bro.

You have one more chance.

If you miss at first chance,

you will definitely hit at third.

Here. Take this.

Oh God, please help me! Dear Lord, please help me!

Help me God!

I am out of touch. That's why.

How many times have you shot with a gun in your life?

This is my first time.

Oh, that's why you are out of touch.

Yes.

Then let me go to the tent and take some rest.

Call me if you need my help to prepare food.

Okay, then.

Okay.

Bro, my pot...

Oh, here.

-Okay, then. -Okay.

Why are you bringing shame to Kerala Police?

As if!

The Kerala Police is shooting with guns everyday.

I doubt if the DGP himself knows how to shoot.

Leave alone a constable.

You are not even holding the gun properly.

Did I ask you to review my performance?

I will do as I please.

What a waste of time!

I am heading for the meeting, Sir.

Yes.

Sir.

Good morning, Sir.

It's not a very good morning, officers.

It's been over 72 hours

since they kidnapped our district judge.

And... we are still searching in darkness.

Sir, Balaji sir's car was attacked in this area near Lakkidi.

And they just vanished into the forest.

Sir, this forest area

is located at the Tri-junction of Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

Here, even the boundaries of the states are not clearly marked.

There are a total of 17 tribal settlements in this region.

Most of them have strong Maoist influence.

It is from here, they send food items to inner forest areas.

And, as per our latest intelligence from the multi-agency center,

more camps of People's Liberation Guerrilla Army

are located in different parts of this Tri-junction.

Okay.

And, to be honest, Sir...

They are extremely dangerous with strong ammunition

and superior terrain knowledge.

Jayadev.

We are not here to discuss how smart they are.

DGP is trying for a joint combing operation

along with the heads of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu Police.

Two units of Thunderbolt with 50 members each

are deployed at the perimeter of the forest.

There should not be any provocation from their part.

If we make a move now, they will be alert

and that will put the life of our Judge at risk.

We are trying for a compromise

through Journalist Prakashan,

the mediator they suggested.

Media is getting their official statements through him.

Sir, they have only one demand.

The release of Maoist Manu.

They will not be ready for any negotiation other than that.

Do you think that's easy?

If we can make Manu ask them to agree for a compromise

through a video, it may help us.

That's completely ruled out.

He is a tough nut to crack.

He won't say that even if we beat him to pulp.

But Sir...

-We have a bait. -What?

Chellan.

The founder leader of Athijeevanam, the frontal organization of Maoists.

He is now with us.

Good!

But what is his credibility?

We cannot take any risks.

It is this Chellan who helped Kerala Police

to easily catch such an influential Maoist leader like Manu,

who is the Western Ghats Zonal Committee of the Maoist Party.

That is his credibility.

Now that's something solid.

Take him to Manu

and somehow make him speak on camera.

Okay, Sir.

Meanwhile,

get as much information as possible from all our sources.

Yes, sir.

In case this mediation fails,

we should be ready.

Sir, we are on it.

Officers, our time is running out.

Sir.

What is it, sir?

Is this the old model encounter or something?

Kerala Police is on your side Manu.

And the CM has promised to consider your demands.

- The CM? -Yes.

Sir, this English professor from Delhi took arms,

leaving Shakespeare, Dickens and George Eliot aside,

because I didn't have trust in your government.

Kerala is not Jharkhand.

Everything would be different.

Language would be different.

But the voice of the oppressed... that would be the same.

Armed struggles for them would continue.

If I go, the fight will go on through someone else, Mr Jayadev.

The fight will end soon, Manu.

In fact, very soon.

Bring him.

You know Chellan better than me, don't you?

In fact, an extensive Maoist operation,

like the ones you faced in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka

can happen here any moment.

Thunderbolt has solid intelligence

about each of your leaders.

Many people like Chellan have begun to think differently.

Let's stop this bloodshed, Manu.

It's much bigger than what you can imagine.

And you have no idea, what's coming your way.

Usha, take care of tasks there once you finish this.

-Okay. -Aravindan.

Yes.

He is not an ordinary man.

Did you read this?

-What is it? -Read.

I don't have spectacles.

Can you please read it for me?

Police doubts that the Personal Security Officer of the Judge,

kidnapped by the Maoists, have Maoist connection.

They will conduct a detailed investigation

into the previous activities of PSO Jyothikumar.

Who says all these nonsense?

This is a news that came in 'Malayali Karma'.

So much for their credibility!

Just reading the word Maoist is enough to make him pass out.

True.

I don't trust him blindly as you two.

His anxiety and acting naive...

sometimes I doubt if all that is real.

What nonsense are you talking?

When they called from the Department,

I told them these same things.

Why did you do that?

Aravindan, I told them honestly what I really felt. That's all.

What if he already knew

that Balaji sir would be kidnapped that day?

Another thing. He usually never gets angry.

But that day, he argued with me saying that I must go with Balaji sir.

Do you remember?

Do you understand?

Something is fishy.

Don't be silly.

Fishing my foot!

Hey, don't go.

I have made some more observations.

Do some real work, man.

Usha, what if the Maoists impersonate and...

Are they too Maoist supporters?

Can't trust anyone.

Do you think the government would release Manu?

I don't fear death.

To make sure that a terrorist is punished

is more important than my life.

But I fear death.

I fear death.

Your law has relevance only if it creates

terrorists like us.

There is only right and wrong in front of the law.

The dirty politics of compromise

has only cheated the poor laborers here.

Popular armed struggles like this will continue,

until they get justice.

But you are doing the same.

Cheating those same poor people

by using them for your advantage.

I don't see any difference between you and other politicians.

See, we have a system of justice.

The common people here have trust in it.

They believe that if the truth is with them

it will be proved and they will get justice.

They don't want the bloodbath of yours, Ganeshan.

Bloodbath!

Sir,

around five years ago,

when the Force combed the jungle several times in search for me,

all they got were my 20-year-old sister

and my handicapped father.

They were having food inside a tribal hut with a leaky roof.

Your people showered them with bullets

even before they could get up.

They also issued a long report.

It said my sister and father fired at the police without any provocation

when the police tried to interrogate them.

The CBI and the Crime Branch investigated that report

and certified it to be true.

And all the systems of justice here just looked away.

Fired at the police, they said.

Who? My sister who can't even lift a dry twig.

When I went there after a few days

what I saw was the rice that she had served,

lying there all soaked in blood.

Where is the justice for her, Balaji Sir?

In which law and system must she trust?

Now, do you want to know the story of his family?

Balaji sir, don't think I am advising you.

Don't irritate these Maoists.

That Ganeshan is a gentleman.

If I was in his place,

I would have shot you to death for what you said.

You heard his story right?

I saw how you shoot!

I am not saying this because I am sad that you would die.

But because I fear that they would kill me instead

in the frustration of not being able to kill you.

Who the hell selected you to the Police Force?

Now he wants to hang that person to death!

"The sculptor will raise his axe"

"The Fire will burn brighter in his lamp."

What's your problem?

This is one of their pamphlets.

So?

I am not sleepy.

So I am trying to compose a tune for this poem.

"The sculptor will raise his axe"

"The Fire will burn brighter in his lamp."

The war cry of the land

and the song of the fire

will uproot the thrones."

Please give me some peace of mind.

Sure.

I feel so relieved!

Don't cry, dear.

They are writing all these

from their imagination.

Kumaran, tell her not to cry.

I am going to the SP office to meet him.

How can they say that he is a Maoist,

just because he is smiling in the photo released by Maoists?

Don't worry. We will find a solution.

No aim at all!

Balaji sir, we have some guests today.

You are a Maoist supporter, aren't you?

Let me check.

I didn't get you...

Police are spreading such a news.

I think the guests are almost here.

So, what I guessed was right.

I had doubt on you right from the first day itself.

You are one of them, aren't you? Rascal!

I have seen many criminals like you.

I had my suspicions when you showed sympathy to Ganeshan yesterday.

Sir, don't say such repulsive things.

You acted well.

Yes, I am a Maoist. Now hang me to death!

I will teach you a lesson.

I will!

Now what? Rascal!

Remember how you used to be?

Throw the plate if the bread is not hot...

Shout at subordinates...

Now you are okay with everything!

I used to think...

Like, what will you do if you lose all this power.

You are going to pay for this when we are released.

I will show you who I am.

How much distance more?

Not very far.

-What? -Over there.

Sir.

Comrades,

please understand that the court's judgment against me

is not final.

When I talked to the advocate

he said we still have got chances.

I have not had any problems from the police,

either physically or mentally.

So, we need to reconsider

our move to keep the Judge as a captive.

Our fight is against the system.

It should not reduce to a fight against an individual

or a fight to release Manu.

So, you should agree to all negotiations

which the government suggests.

This is not an act of surrender or failure.

Instead, you should see this as a strategic move

for an imminent change.

Victory for Revolution!

This is the message.

This is Prakashan.

The mediator of the Police.

He wants a video of both of you.

For the Police to know that you are safe.

I don't have anything to say.

Sir, please.

Do you have anything to say?

My name is Jyothikumar.

Civil Police Officer.

I am the PSO of District Judge Balaji Sir.

Those who abducted us

have not harmed us in any way.

They have treated us with decency.

I humbly request to the government

to somehow save us from here.

That's all?

No, I have something more to say.

I am saying this to my wife.

The course of father's medicine is for one more week.

Make sure he takes it on time.

Tell our daughter

to perform well

at the dance programme in school.

You had told me to book the gas cylinder.

I forgot that.

I have kept the gas agency's book

in the lower draw of our shelf.

That's all I can remember now.

Balaji sir,

Police have requested for this video.

Please cooperate.

Please...

I am Venkatesh Balaji.

As a loyal citizen of the country,

I have a request to Government of Kerala and the police.

Don't compromise with these anti-national criminals

in order to save me.

I am not afraid to die.

I will fight for my country until my last breath.

I don't value my life more than my country.

Jai Hind!

It's not done.

There is one more video.

Record it. Bring him here.

-Jayadev, -Sir.

DGP will meet the CM today itself

and get an order to go ahead.

Okay.

I don't think they have left us with any other choice.

Sir.

Let's move in our forces.

We are ready, sir.

An extensive search operation has already started.

We are questioning everyone

who are suspected to have links to this group.

Good.

The other good news is

Karnataka and Tamil Nadu teams

have agreed to join our operation.

Okay.

I will be coordinating with them on the ground.

-Sir. -It's good.

They used to conduct regular searches in that same forest area for Veerappan.

So, their terrain knowledge will be better.

We are taking a big risk with the lives of hostages.

Always remember,

we want them alive at any cost.

Sir,

they must have moved to the inner forest

with the hostages.

Let's get them on the run.

Sir...

O' Compassionate One, protect me...

O' Compassionate One, protect me...

Son, I will come and join the battle

The story of the fallen is frightening

Son, let's go....

It is in this forest area,

where Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka share their borders,

Thunderbolt's search operation for Venkatesh Balaji is going on this area.

Though the Kerala Police and the Government

tried to end the fiasco peacefully for about one week,

the Maoists refused to cooperate.

Hence forcing Thunderbolt to launch this operation.

As the rage dances on,

soul seeks blessing

As time fades, the tune searches for direction

O' Compassionate One, protect me...

O' Compassionate One, protect me...

Water... Water...

Sir.

Sir,

I had drunk from this bottle earlier.

Today is the date of my daughter's dance program at school.

I wonder if she performed or not.

So...

you are careless and forgetful

only when it comes to your job.

You remember everything about your family so well.

Haven't you thought about your family after coming here?

Are you a Judge at home as well?

Hey, come on. Let's go!

Get up!

Let's move.

-Come. -Come.

-Sir... -Quick!

-Walk straight. -Take everything.

Careful.

Sir, careful.

We can stand here.

Place everything here.

Okay.

How long will this run go on?

If you can win by killing me, go ahead!

Don't keep running like a coward instead.

I will...

-Then let me kill you right away. -Bro...

No... No... Don't hurt him.

Leave him, brother. Leave him.

I told you to let go of him.

Move.

Hey, don't...

Leave him.

I am the one you want. Please leave him.

Don't hurt him, please.

Please.

Don't...

Oh, no!

Jyothi... Jyothikumar...

Why did you try to save me?

I am your Personal Security Officer.

And... I am a police man...

At least I could see you smile before I die!

Many would laugh like this

when I say that I am a policeman.

Didn't you ask me the other day

how I joined the Police Force?

It was because I had no other option.

The girl I loved said

being a singer was not enough to marry her.

So, I studied hard and got selected.

My...

My father's biggest dream was to see me as a great singer.

He has not approved me as a policeman until now.

He says

even if somebody cheats me

I would not realise it

even though I am a police officer!

When I came here,

I felt like, my father was right.

I don't have the intelligence to be a police officer.

If it was someone else with you here in my place,

perhaps you would not have been in this condition.

Does it hurt too much?

Should I do anything for you?

Don't worry.

They will not kill you.

You will go from here alive.

Could you...

sing a song for me?

What?

You just asked...

if you could do anything for me.

It is better to die of their bullets

than to listen to me singing.

O Martyrs' columns...

O Martyrs' columns...

The memorials of martyrdom brimming with memories

Here millions of people

adorn you with

red garlands strewn with the spirit of resistance.

O Martyrs' columns...

O Martyrs' columns...

Sir...

-Oh, no. -Sir, careful.

I can't...

Get up!

-Sir... -Look out!

-Sir, get up! -Move! Move!

Run!

Everybody come! Run!

-Shiva! -Yes!

Come this way!

No!

Sir! Run!

Come fast!

Sir! Come!

-Where? -Upwards!

Sir, come... Come.

Don't come here!

Go that way!

Oh, no!

Sir, get up!

Sir, get up...

Shiva...

Sit here.

-Sir, are you okay? -I can't...

Oh, no!

Hey!

Oh, no!

What happened?

Don't harm us.

Hey, Thiru!

Kill everyone!

Please!

Don't!

Kill them!

-Go! -What?

Go!

Get up and go!

Come, come!

Come fast!

Come fast, sir!

Sir, there is a road over there.

Get down.

Slowly.

Come. Come.

You go fast.

You too come.

Police will come this way for sure.

Go!

You too come!

You go, sir!

I will check if anybody comes this way.

You go.

What will you do here, all alone?

I am doing my duty.

Please listen to me, Sir.

You go!

Please come with me.

Sir, run fast.

Please...

It's a solo fight on the road of darkness

It's like playing with fire

You are all alone as you face

the speed of a fatal arrow shot from the hiding

Are you losing your way?

Is darkness filling your eyes?

Will you fall on the road

before reaching your destination?

Who is there to support you?

How far will you have to go?

Sir!

Are you fighting as a guarding soldier

even while losing your own life?

Are you going to get shot?

Whom will you confront alone?

Did the enemy press the trigger?

Are you losing your life?

Are you turning into a painful memory?

Whom will you confront alone?

Did the enemy press the trigger?

There...

Are you losing your life?

Are you turning into a painful memory?

Mr Jyothikumar. Civil Police Officer.

Jyothikumar, who joined Kerala Police as a constable in 2014,

has done an excellent service in maintaining law and order.

He has received several accolades

from the Department and the public

for the sincerity and commitment he showcased

throughout his service period.

Forgetting his own safety and putting his life at risk

he saved the life of our Honourable District Judge from the Maoists

while serving as his Personal Security Officer.

For this, the Honourable DGP is presenting to Mr. Jyothikumar

the police medal for excellence in service.

I invite Mr Jyothikumar to stage to receive the same.

PSO Jyothikumar.

No... 'The Flask'.

I don't know who invented this moniker.

Neither do I know who called someone by it first.

An officer who is always ready

to go with a Judge or a Minister as his security officer

to any difficult place

without considering whether it's day or night

and who is always willing to give up his own life

to save their superior's life.

But without realizing all that

they just see him pouring tea

from the flask to his superior

and call him a 'Flask'.

I don't have the courage and efficiency to become a police officer.

Somehow I passed the only exam in my life,

for which I prepared with determination,

and became a policeman.

As Shaji says,

may be people like me and Yesudas are just born to be singers!

Yesudas sings in movies.

I sing at temple compounds after my duty time.

My father was a music teacher at my own school.

Though I used to win prizes for singing in every class,

he has never congratulated me.

But I never expected him to be proud of me

as a police officer.

Jyothi,

your notes are out of tune.

Oh, really!

I wish Balaji Sir was here to witness me receiving this award.

If he was here, I would have given him a grand salute.

Jyothi...

Did Balaji sir call you after that incident?

He is not that kind of a person.
