All language subtitles for Flask (2025)_track3_[und]

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.
