[Sound of vehicles passing by]

Erode

[Lorry engine rumbling]

Suhail...

What’s he calling me for?

You know what

Abu Ikka’s like, right?

Hmm

I do and that’s

what freaks me out.

Well, Ikka went boating

in the Ukkadam lake,

..Seems like a

sabotage, the boat flipped.

You see that guy back there,

That Eldose,

He jumped in and

pulled Ikka out.

Since then, he is with Ikka.

He first offered

him a driver's job

But then...

He didn’t know driving.

So Ikka made him a helper.

He was scared of enemies

mauling him with

a big vehicle...

So, he exchanged

his car for this lorry.

To put it simply,

Consistently, Day after day..

his brain function is decreasing

and fear is increasing.

Huh?

Yeah!

Musk does not sell like before

Demand for black

opium is high now

Perfume works

best on pulse points.

Like this, watch.

[Footsteps]

Ah!

Peace be upon you

(Greeting in Arabic)

And peace be upon you

too (Greeting in Arabic)

Go in and take a

seat. I’ll be right there.

OK

Come, let's go!

So, where were we?

Pulse point!

I didn’t call you for

anything serious...

Just... I haven’t

really slept in days.

To be precise...

Ever since you shut

this place down and left...

Ikka, you don’t have

to worry about me.

I’m living a whole

different life now...

with my family.

Hmm [Laughing softly]

25 years ago...

when I rolled from

Neeleswaram to Erode

All I had was a box of perfumes

and some guts.

That same box is

worth ten thousand now

...but guts?

Hmm

what would I do to you, Ikka?

Hey, this isn’t your fault...

It’s mine.

I just overthink everything...

...and now look where I’m at.

What’s it called again, Eldose?

Anxiety!

Yeah that! Anxiety!

For a year and a half now, I

have not come near your shadow.

...nor am I planning to either.

Till a year back...

You knew even the colour

of my underwear, Siddique.

[Gasping sound]

Ikka! Ikka!

Please think about

my family atleast!!!

Peace of mind! That's

what a man lives for...

...without that,

what’s the point?

[struggling sounds]

[Body thuds to the ground]

Don’t hand over the

body to his family.

His wife has

seizures or something.

Clean all this and come out.

[scrolling through reels]

[watching a motivational reel]

Ikka...

Ikka, Here,

take this.

Eldose...

Are you planning

to continue life...

...brewing tea and

burying bodies.

Don’t you want a promotion?

[Laughs softly]

I’m no godfather

from some movie...

that only helps the helpless.

Got that?

A father who avenges

a daughter's rape,

and a man who kills his wife,

to be with his girlfriend,

are all the same to me.

I’ve had plenty of dirty

friends from that world...

and the worst one was Saravanan.

Ten, twelve years ago...

He used to work for

me in Suhail's place.

But then...

he tried to backstab me

To become independant.

[Laughs softly]

Things soured

between us after that.

Now look at Saravanan

He’s the king in Denkanikottai

Maybe even bigger than me.

He’s the only one who

knows all my weak spots

and the only one

who can finish me off.

He should be finished off

by someone on the inside.

Someone who’s got

both brains and guts.

Eldose...

Aren’t you that "Dheeran"

from Malayattoor?

You have to go to Denkanikottai

and finish Saravanan.

You have to do it.

Oh God!!

[Gunshot]

[Title: DHEERAN]

[After one month]

[A Village near Malayattoor]

[Deep, chesty cough]

[Deep, chesty cough]

Hey, an owl is hooting...

So what, should I

hoot along with it?

Put some salt and

chilli on the stove.

Won't let me sleep in peace!

[Sleepy groan]

Oh no! GODDESS!!!

What's that?

Oh No!!

What happened?

Oh God!!

What happened to him?

Oh God!

Oh no, what’s going on!?

What's wrong?

Please get up dear!

Someone! Please come quick!

Oh God…

[Sobbing]

Oh My God!!

[Heavy footsteps, sobbing]

Aruvi!

Son, Aruvi!!

Please get up!!

Aruvi!!

[Sobbing]

Oh God!

[Sobbing]

Jalaja!

Jalaja!

[Sobbing]

Oh dear Goddess...

Who am I supposed to call now?

Is the brew done?

Can’t say for sure

Maybe by tomorrow evening.

Look at this

Two sacks enough?

Nutmeg, Rubber latex...

Yeah, two sacks are enough!

Yeah Okay!

Okay, settled!

[Oil softly splashing on skin]

What are you doing?

If my brother catches me..

I will slip away easily.

Oh no, it went in my eye!

Oh Goddess mother!

Pardon all my sins!

[Soft murmurs of prayer]

Hardly any frogs here, Spineesh.

Yeah man, full

of leeches though!

That owl has been

hooting for long now.

Wonder who's going to die..

Spineesh, my dear,

just shut it man.

snakes will be out hunting

for frogs at this time.

All this while here and we

have caught just 4 frogs.

why will a snake even bother.

Frog?

Check that corner.

Give it a whack!

This place is all muck!

Can't even step in properly!

Why’s he calling now?

Who's it?

Abbas Ikka

Oh no! I'm scared!

Yes Abbas Ikka!

Hey, were you sleeping?

No Ikka!

I was reading a poem.

Da, our Nanu ettan...

Collapsed while peeing.

Come quick and

bring the vehicle.

Oh No!

What happened to him?

No clue!

There’s a paddy

field nearby, right

there are a lot of snakes.

you are done if they

get your smell even.

Huh?

I didn't ask you

to collect muck.

Oh! ok Ikka, I'm on the way

OK

Hey, I have to go.

You catch frogs,

I am taking this.

Should I catch frogs

with my lungi now?

Use Whatever, man!

You have to understand one

thing very well from now on..

OK

When I break the lock,

don’t stand so close. Got it?

Got it, Sir!

Why is there an ambulance here?

Oh no!

Should we go back?

No, let’s see what happened.

You take the sack

and go, I’ll join you later.

OK

Instead of crowding

around like this

Move back a bit,

let some air through!

Oh God!

[Sobbing]

Careful!

What happened to

him? A heart attack?

No clue, Joppan!

All I heard was the

cry of ‘Oh Goddess!'.

What is it with you Joppan..

why are you oiled

up at midnight.

I was just about to head

for a bath in the river

[Sobbing]

The climate..The

heat’s unbearable.

Looks like an attack for sure.

This isn’t an

attack or snakebite.

It’s the goddess.

She struck him.

Struck him!?

Yeah!

I had a weird feeling when

I heard the owl hooting.

This temple deity goes to meet

her sister at the other temple.

Anyone who sees this will

drop dead, coughing blood.

No one died or

coughed up blood here.

That’s what

I’m wondering too.

No idea why

beliefs don't have the

same effect as before.

[frogs croaking]

Just turn that siren on now.

OK

[Ambulance siren wails]

Dear fellow villagers,

Our grand Village fest

is back with exciting events!

As part of the celebrations,

on January 1st at 8 PM,

We have a 40,000watt

orchestra night...

by "Kuttanpuzha Seven Beats"

Let’s welcome the

New Year together!

Our grand Village fest

is back with exciting events!

[Bombay Engineering Works

Proprietor: Aravindakshan]

[Old hindi song

playing on the radio]

Jalaja!

Hey Jalaja!

Where’s that wretched

woman gone now?

Dear Aruvi Chetta

I pleaded with you the other day

not to hire a

migrant worker here.

But then

You wanted to hear Hindi 24/7.

If you’d given me one

tenth of the commitment

that you give to

your welding job...

I wouldn’t be making

this decision today.

I’m done!!! I can’t

live with the drama...

and violence of a

complete alcoholic like you.

So, I’m leaving with Raju Bhai.

Right now...

I like Raju Bhai’s Malayalam...

than your Hindi!

Thanks for everything.

Akshaya Krishna,

Rohini Nakshtra!

Sathi, Punartham Nakshatra.

Oh Goddess...

Protect us!

Priest!

Yes?

You know, Nanu ettan ...

He didn’t faint because

he saw the Deity!

Then what?

That Bombay Aruvi's wife...

ran off with Raju

Bhai, his employee!

When she dashed off

in that red saree at night

Nanu ettan must’ve got

the impact of the goddess.

Oh Goddess, your own

devotees are maligning you!

And you know...

Our village has a

lot of runaway stories

Isn’t that right, Chechi?

How’s Suramya doing?

What stories are

you talking about?

I can’t say that in

this temple, Priest

Meet me outside.

Sathi...

How far along is Suramya now?

Just finished seven months.

I see

Sathi

Hmm?

See, I’m a bachelor...

and you are a widow.

I'm taking medicine

for pleasure,

I mean, pressure!

Blood pressure!

In my good times, I

made some good money

But when times changed...

don't even have a

dog to eat with me.

I have lived alone for 55 years.

And honestly, I miss the

physical and emotional love.

Next month, when

your daughter delivers...

Will you give me a chance

to be the baby’s grandfather?

Kunjon Chetta!

I’m not looking for

emotional love...

..or anything physical

either, for now.

It's does not mean

that I don't like you,

It’s just... this

society scares me.

Move that aside,

Its all weeds and muck.

I’m not surprised

Jalaja ran off.

It's in her nature. That's

how she came to this village

Why do you bitch like this?

Oh, now it's my fault

for talking about it.

Even otherwise...

Gossip of people eloping from

this village burns

you. isnt't it Mary?

By the way...

Hasn't it been a year

since your son Eldose left?

Oh, she didn't like it..

The ward member

is coming this way

How’s Nanu chettan doing, Abbas?

He's fine now.

Oh Okay

Mary...

I heard some news

The SI from the station

called and told me.

It happened at a fruit factory

in Denkanikottai, Tamil Nadu.

Eldose had been working

there for about a month.

A fire broke out there...

Did he… die?

Did you hear?

[murmuring voices]

Supervisor...

I’m taking the day off.

People will soon

start coming to visit.

I have to manage everything.

[Murmuring voices]

Aruvi Chetta!

Did you eat anything?

The funeral isn’t here

It's at Eldose's house.

If you’ve come to

offer condolences...

for what my wife did,

You can read that

letter and leave.

What letter?

Dude, let's go. He

seems to be losing it!

Let’s go then.

Hey!

Huh?

You guys are the reason...

My Eldhose left this place.

Now when they get his body...

..feel free to gather

around and feast on it.

This Guy!!

Arrange those chairs properly.

Dad!

Dad!

Please come here!

[Background laughter]

Come quick, Dad!

The civet climbed

onto the roof again...

and peed right on

Grandfather’s head.

Even if I come, I can only

wash his head. What's the point?

You go!

Oh my daughter!!

[Sobbing]

Mom!!

Oh my dear daughter!!

Mom!!

[Sobbing]

Now go ahead and cry!

[Sobbing]

My Son!!

Let's go inside!

[Sobbing]

Looks like it's going to rain.

Hmm, yeah!

No.. it won't rain

I remember seeing

everyone at the wedding.

Dixon Kuttanpuzha!

Dixon!

Hello!

Which troupe are you with?

I’m a blessed artist of the

Kuttanpuzha Seven Beats.

Oh Really!

First is Lord Ganapati...

Four in Tamil, one in Arabic..

The Arabic song 'Nari Nari'

Dixon!

The body is at the Taluk

Hospital mortuary

in Denkanikottai.

I see

We need to decide who’s

going to bring the body back.

We must leave tonight itself.

Abbas!

Don’t bother calling me.

I’m not doing

anything for that brat.

I came here only because

he is my elder brother’s son.

Got up this morning to see...

Sacks full of nutmeg

and rubber latex missing.

you know!!!

Oh no!

You’ve spent a life selling

nutmeg and

rubber latex isn't it...

let go of a bit now.

Huh?

I mean it!

Now you uncles also

don't start like this...

I am coming no matter what.

Let's see Tamil Nadu as well...

I can also come as

a man of this house.

I haven’t met my brotherinlaw

in person anyways.

I’ve a New Year

program day after.

I’m good if we're back by then.

If we leave tonight, we can

return by midnight tomorrow

Celebrate New year tomorrow

and finish with

burial the day after.

Oh..the program is

on the day of the burial.

It’s an orchestra.

I could’ve skipped

it if it was a track.

Let me talk to Spineesh

and arrange the ambulance.

Ok

Whose name should we put

for the “wishes

by” in this poster?

Just write 'Friends

Group, Malayattoor'.

Which group is that?

Everywhere there are

imaginary groups like that.

Stop asking and just

finish the design, kid.

Hm!

His questions!!!

Hey, hide them!

I heard your voice

message, Ikka.

going this far to get his body..

Better ask someone else, Ikka.

Hey, there are some things

we ought to do as fellow folks.

Just a year ago,

he was one of us.

Now that he is gone...

What’s the point

holding grudges!!

Hmm

OK

Chetta...

Can you check

if this looks okay?

[Eldose T Avarachan

(32), Dheeran]

Not easy walking

around in this heat.

She’s holding a broom.

oh goodness!!

There’s a plan to bring

Eldose’s body in an ambulance.

We'll collect money from

the locals for the expenses.

What if we folks don’t

want to see his body?

Don’t talk like that, Sathi!

You know Mary’s situation well.

She doesn’t have

the money for it,

and her relatives

won’t help either.

Fine then! I’ll give fifty

rupees to send him to hell.

My daughter Suramya

has cursed him enough.

My only regret is that

I could not smack him.

…because of the

condition I’m in.

Some bloody brave guy, huh!!

[Spits loudly]

what a twisted behaviour

Is there a receipt for this?

This isn’t a carnival

collection, Sathi.

But if you need something

for your records...

There’s a leftover receipt

from last year’s Onam fund.

Give her that.

Then...

Suramya’s doing

alright, isn’t she?

Yeah, she's fine!

By the way, which route

is the ambulance taking?

We’ll go through

Palakkad, Erode,

Coimbatore, Salem,

Denkanikottai.

Oh!

Can I come with you, Abbas Ikka?

Suramya’s in Palakkad, so...

We were planning to

bring her home for delivery.

They’ll arrange a

car for the return.

I might save one trip that way.

Till Palakkad, right?

Yes

That's fine.

You can come along too!

Right?

Yes, let her.

Son, change the

fifty to hundred bucks!

OK

The collection didn’t

go as expected.

We need to do better.

Unni chetta!

We need to bring

Eldose’s body home.

We’re collecting

donations for that.

Is fifty enough?

Make it a hundred.

Jose etta, for Eldose...

Oh okay!

See, in my opinion...

For a good snack with

drinks, nothing beats frog fry.

Nothing else in the

world even comes close.

Just to be safe,

I’ll get one more.

Abbas Ikka!

So far, who all are going?

Me...

Spineesh...

Joppan,

Dixon...

Sathi is tagging

along till Palakkad.

To bring her daughter

home for delivery.

Jalaja’s gone... now Eldose too.

I’ve got no one

left in this place.

I’ll come too, Abbas Ikka.

I need to get away

from here for a while.

And...

to see Eldose one last time.

In that case, I’ll join as well.

If not any less,

I’m his Godfather.

What about your

nutmeg and rubber latex?

That, I can worry about

while travelling also.

OK

This is turned into

a whole rally now!

[Gargling]

No function is complete without

the Velmuruga song, right?

That's how it is generally.

I see

But we don't sing it.

Oh!

Everyone sings

the same old songs,

I change things up sometimes.

What are your top hits, Chetta?

Devooda, Devooda...

Appadipodu, Mambazhama

Mambazham... those types

and so on...

OK OK

Never heard such

variety songs before.

[Gargling]

Oh my God!

Abbas... this is

all I’ve got left.

There's nothing more to

spend for my son anyways.

Add an extra two

thousand from my side.

OK

Listen...

Have you lost your senses

To do so much for that brat.

You’ve got 16

stitches on your belly.

Don’t forget who gave you those.

Everything in this world...

has a minimum of two sides.

Oh yeah!!

" Laa La Laa La "

" Laa La Laa La "

" Laa La Laa La "

" Laa La Laa La "

You didn’t eat

anything,right dear?

I don't want Ichayya!

Sit down and eat!

" Laa La Laa La "

See..

I can’t eat a meal without

some fried fish, that’s why

" Ah! The death

knell rings aloud, "

Are you not eating?

" My heart begins to pound "

" Step by step, I now descend. "

" My dear friends! "

" Oh "

" Don’t lose your

mind in madness now, "

" Don’t fake a

halo on your brow. "

Oh my dear Ikka!

The civet is living

inside with family,

Roof has been taken by termites

It’s better you build

a new house now.

" Who is in heaven? and.. "

" Who is in despair?"

" In this unending,

burning fight,"

" We travel on!! "

Yeah!

Where were you?

Don't ask

There’s a civet issue

at Abbas’s house.

Look

This one’s filled with

devotional songs,

Oh Lord!

And this is the amount

collected to buy crackers.

Oh!

Okay?

Okay

" Laa La Laa La "

" Laa La Laa La "

" Laa La Laa La "

" Laa La Laa La "

Where has he gone, Joppan?

Who knows what he's up to.

Here he comes

Then you could’ve

styled it like this no.

" Ah! "

" The death knell rings aloud,"

" My heart begins to pound "

" Step by step, I now descend. "

" My dear friends!"

[Old Ghazal song playing

on the Gramaphone]

Ikka!

I’ve enquired…

About Eldhose's death...

News is that he died in the fire

accident at

Saravanan's fruit factory.

Fact is..

He was burnt alive by Saravanan.

The body is kept in

the mortuary there.

After a few days,

If no one claims it,

They will give it to the

medical college to study.

Ikka, you shouldn't

have left him

alone for such a dangerous job.

Then what, should

I have sent you?

If a dog chases you,

you can’t run even ten

steps. So stop

with the big talk.

Ikka!

Is there anything we should do?

First, let’s find out

what Saravanan is up to.

Until then,

forget about Eldose’s matter.

I once went on

a picnic like this,

with our chit fund group.

Malambuzha Fantasy park!

Sathi, have you seen

an amusement park?

No

I have been to Wonderla.

Get lost man.

OK

I've saved some Christian

devotional songs...

and poems on a pen

drive. Should I play them?

No need!

You can play them

during the day.

Let them sleep now

OK

I once wrote a romantic

Hindi poem on Menstruation...

Have you read it?

Gulmohar ke Saat din

Look...

I’m not interested in

discussing menstruation.

What’s wrong with that?

I am not interested.

That's all!!

Aruvi!

It's better you

see a psychiatrist.

That's right!

Oh!

I’m not saying you’re

crazy or anything.

But, there’s no point

saying it after you lose it.

Yeah, absolutely!

He has mellowed after

returning from

Bombay, hasn’t he?

Oh, please! As if!

See,

I was thinking of starting...

...a Bombaystyle

welding workshop here.

You in for a

partnership, Avarachan?

No chance.

Huh?

In five or six years,

Eldose will settle into a job,

and that’s when I plan

to retire completely.

That’s a solid plan!

Yeah, rest in peace!

[Laughs softly]

Cut it out, Eldose, or

I’ll smack you right now!

Spineesh...

If you’ve got the

guts to beat Eldose...

Then do it now!

Oh NOO!!

Someone, please

come quickly! Hey!!

Eldose! [Screaming]

Somebody call for help!

Please, come help!

" O brave one... "

" O brave one... "

[women wailing]

Oh no!!

[loud wailing]

NOOO!! [Screaming]

Oh Lord!!

[Sobbing]

Please get up Aruvi chetta!

The tragedy that took place 8

month ago in Malayatoor river..

shook all of us a lot...

But then,

At the end of every pain, Time,

gifts a tiny bit of happiness...

Our small village

of Malayattoor...

has received national

recognition today.

The one who made this possible

is our town’s beloved son,

Master Eldose T. Avarachan.

The honourable

President of India,

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam,

presented Eldose

with the Bravery Award.

[Applause]

Aravindakshan, whom we all

fondly know as Bombay Aruvi

Was saved by Eldhose

We take pride in that

At the same time,

we share deep sorrow...

as Eldose lost his father

during that same incident.

This land and its people

will always be with Eldose.

I won’t stretch this further.

Eldose is a role

model for all of us.

He is the brave

heart of our land.

[Applause]

When Eldose was about

to receive the award in Delhi

he insisted on having

tapioca and bone curry first!

It was a grand event, even Kalam

Sir and Sonia Gandhi were there.

I struggled a lot to

get us there on time.

So I told him, “Son,

first collect the award...

then we’ll eat tapioca

and bone curry.”

He cared neither about

Kalam nor about Gandhi.

" Like a folk tale

spoken once, long ago,

Still echoing softly...

wherever I go. "

" Like a flock of

waterbirds that roam,

Searching for shores,

far from home... "

" Memories and

ties I’ve known, I carry

them like a sack on

my shoulder thrown "

" Is this a race we rage and

run, To get what we never had "

" Excitement is

a little too much "

" The head that touches the sky

Holds all that's

wrong..don't know why "

" As far as it goes,

we’re perfect."

" Smart enough to

make deception a habit "

To become a member

of the Riders Club,

do I need to own a bike, or

can we use someone else's?

Doesn't he want tea or coffee?

Let him do as he pleases.

" Who dwells in

sorrow’s depths? "

" In this unending,

burning fight,"

Let's go, Joppan

Yea coming!

We travel on!!

" Who dares to ask

for the route we take? "

" Who’s bold enough

to break the stake? "

" Who bends the rules,

who lights the flame? "

Driver!

Can you stop for a moment?

Huh?

I need to shoot a reel.

" Ah! The death

knell rings aloud, "

You can drive slowly.

" My heart begins to pound "

" Step by step, I now descend. "

Is Safa alright, Ikka?

She's fine, dear!

When we return, you

can come along with us.

But Chetta, that's...

There'll be a dead body in

the ambulance on the way back.

Oh!

That might bring in some

negative energy, right?

She’s eight months pregnant now.

Oh yeah,

that’s true.

Not just that

There will be burnt

and shriveled body too.

It’s 90% burnt, right, Abbas?

Huh?

Oh!

We’ll take our leave now.

We need to reach

there before noon.

OK

Ok then

OK

This wretched

woman said Palakkad.

Now this is 2 hours

interior of Palakkad.

Aruvi, mind your words.

Depression isn't the

license to talk loose.

Can you guys hurry up?

Um, Abbas!

Yes?

Please move aside

Listen...

I haven’t seen the

Palakkad Fort yet.

By the time I see it,

you will reach back right..

I know you won't have

enthusiasm any more.

Get inside!!

Oh!

Hey, come inside!

Come chetta, it's okay

I know what you're up to.

[SPINEESH & SURAMYA]

[Background song playing]

Oh, what a setup!

Can I get a little mango pickle?

Just for the side dish!

Get lost, man!

You will finish the pickle.

Huh?

Can’t believe I was

born with this idiot.

Useless fellow!

Oh no!

Why are you late?

Meet the District Secretary.

Look who’s here!

Just chill, Dheera!

Abbas Ikka!

My father used to always

say one thing to me...

never trust your uncles.

The youngest one though a

loser, is not a problem atleast.

That lunatic

standing over there...

He’s the real pain in the ass.

Yeah! Yeah!

[Laughter]

Didn't you get soda?

Hey buddy!

The kick that you get when you

mix 60 ml rum with

100 ml dessert..

Soda will not give you that.

Pour

And then you’ll be

dancing like a maniac!

I don't want it.

Okay

So we were saying...

Don’t depend on your uncles.

You’re an independent

bus driver now, right!!

Now, If you need a skill...

I’ll teach you welding.

With solid welding skills,

you can survive anywhere.

Take him for example.

Hello!

Hello Everyone!

So let's begin the performance.

Anyway, things got totally

messed up with Suramya.

Though I was not

in Love or such,

Everyone knows about

the time we spent together.

But the way she tossed you out...

Oh my dear!

I haven’t seen

anything like that

even in the streets of Bombay.

See, that’s the problem.

Now if I skip this wedding..

...people will start gossiping

saying I’m still

holding a grudge.

I see

Chetta, shall we eat?

You go ahead and eat.

Here, take him with you.

Raju Bhai!

Go with chechi

and enjoy the feast.

Okay Chetta

Go on!

She means a lot to him.

He’s a good, wellmannered guy.

" The bride is getting ready "

" Oh mango blossom, bloom now "

" It's your wedding today"

" You look like a

jasmine in the mirror "

" It's your wedding today. "

Hey Son!

Yes

Where's the dessert?

Oh Joppan, we’re out of dessert.

Finished, huh?

Yep, finished!

What the hell man!!

Hey Kunjon!

Huh?

What did you do

with the dessert?

Hey!

If you keep drinking and

roaming you won’t

get any dessert.

You have to come

and eat at the right time!

Is that so?

Then eat this too!

[Shouting and cursing]

Hey! There’s a fight going on!

[Sigh]

Had a few bananas

yesterday, that's why.

Shall we wrap it up

with the wall putty?

Wait, let me go once

more and come back.

Can I get a lime tea.

oh god!

It's lime tea… my

stomach’s acting up.

Where's Dad?

He's in the toilet.

Dad, are you taking a bath?

I want to...

but I just can’t.

[forced sounds]

How long has it been uncle!!!

Hey, stop here

Bro.

Yeah!

See...

Screwed up big time.

why

Yesterday, whoever ate from here

has loose motions

Let me run to the

toilet real quick.

Chechi..

move aside!!!

[murmuring voices]

[WEDDING: SPINEESH & SURAMYA]

Sir!

Hmm

Please come.

Please come this way.

Sir, as per the latest report...

135 people have confirmed

cases of diarrhoea.

How serious is it?

30 people including the

groom are on IV drips.

One is in the ICU.

Are you from the

Health Department?

No

I’m with... uh...

the Water Authority.

I see

Sir, he brews illicit liquor

Sir!

[murmuring voices]

Doctor will come check

I'll ask him, sir

Remember the curry you

ate the most yesterday?

Sauteed Vegetables

Oh!

Even I had some of that!

Then my conclusion

is correct, sir.

Only thing I didn’t

get was dessert.

There was a lot of

ruckus about that as well.

I have difficulty

emptying my stomach.

I have Constitution...

Constipation!!

Sir

Hmm?

Please arrest anyone who

does not have diarrhoea.

Oh yeah!

Is it kerala

police's job to find

people without diarrhoea now!!!

Let's go!

Cmon dude!!

Don't say it with so much

force

If you shake even a

little more, you’re finished!

Get lost, man!

Hmm

Oh no!

Come, let's go

Hey! Nanu Chetta!

Oh, you

are awake!

What happened?

Aruvi is in the ICU

All that dessert and

rum came out as blood.

And...

The wedding was called off..

Huh?

Everyone’s suspecting you.

Me?

What did I do?

I'll tell you what you did.

Personal grudge against

the bride, Suramya...

for rejecting your porposal

yeah

And

Personal grduge

against chef kunjon

due to long outstanding

family conflicts

yeah

So, you spiked the

dessert with laxative.

Am I right?

Sir, if I did all that,

would I eat it too and

end up here like this?

Huh?

shouldn't there be

some basic logic, sir!

But sir...

He could be faking it, right?

Then come with me to the toilet,

You can confirm

if it’s loose or not.

Hey, don't

act too smart!

When you're able to

walk, come to the station.

Got it?

Ok sir.

Come

Wonder what else is coming!!!

Kuruppampady!

Kuruppampady’s here.

Anyone getting down?

Oh no!

Get down!

Hey!!

Damn you!!!

My intestines are

almost out, man!

I was stuck in the

toilet for three days!

[murmuring voices]

Well..you are also here

to abuse me aren't you!!

I came to thank you.

For what?

For disrupting my wedding

Listen, I didn’t do any of that.

I never loved you that much

It was just a silly crush

Ah, if it was that, I

wouldn’t have minded.

But when you started talking

about marriage and kids,

I panicked.

If it was just a casual,

onetime lust thing,

I would've been fine with it.

eh!!

By lust...I mean...

Um.. yeah!

I know exactly what

you mean by lust.

[Soft laugh]

Just shocked to

hear it suddenly!!!

Anyway, I wasn’t

really into this wedding.

Mum's constantly

threatened to hang herself

And I agreed.

Else, I wanted to

disrupt this myself.

Now they’ll have to

check horoscopes again ...

...and fix another wedding date.

OK, alright then.

Whoever did this...

Thanks!!!

And one more thing...

When you fly at 90100...

on the Malayatoor Bridge...

My heart skips a beat

I stand ogling at you...

" A love bite—that's

all I want, "

" One no one else can offer. "

Brother..

1.600 kg

" Let me gift you my flame. "

" Ouch!! "

" Oh, I—this roaring wave— "

" Now seek only you…"

2 kg

" As the fire of untamed

desire spreads "

Is your mom doing okay?

Yeah

" lost in the

glimpses of heaven "

" by your kisses "

" This endless thirst quenches "

" When you embrace me. "

" Using your love juices "

" The games you play "

" I yearn due to some

strange magic spell, "

" Is it my thrill? "

" The flutter of my heart? "

" Or the youthful

ecstasy I crave?"

" With just a glance, a

word..you enchant me… "

" Are you a lover

or desire itself!!"

" A love bite—that's

all I want, "

" One no one else can offer. "

" Let me gift you my flame. "

" Ouch!! "

" Oh, I—this roaring wave— "

" Now seek only you… "

Put on a shirt, man.

Looks like some insect bit you!

[Laughing]

What a guy!

Hmm

[Laughing]

Go away!

The way you say

it, it sounds like

we disrupted the wedding

Whosever fault it may be,

We can look for

a date only after

Vrishchikam (Malayalam month)

Isn’t that right, son?

Yeah

Then you better find

another bride for your son

Is that so?

Get up, let's go

Come on, let's leave!

Let’s go now!

" Emotions rise

when we embrace "

" Lie face to

face... in bliss... "

" Vibrations that seek

depth in excitement "

" Pauses when we

dissolve in each other "

Sathi chechi!

Yes!

It’s for the youth club’s

Onam celebration.

Can you take two coupons?

As if I am waiting

for your prize.

C'mon chechi.. why

do you say like that!!!

what else should i say!!

I’ll try selling these

coupons at my studio,

but I’ll need a

commission for that.

" Is it my thrill? "

" The flutter of my heart? "

" Or the youthful

ecstasy I crave? "

" With just a glance, a

word..you enchant me… "

" Are you a lover

or desire itself!! "

" A love bite—that's

all I want, "

" One no one else can offer. "

" Let me gift you my flame. "

" Oh, I—this roaring wave— "

Mom.. Ice cream..

Nothing doing..

look up and walk..

" As the fire of untamed

desire spreads "

[Chenda melam

beats reverberating]

[sensual breathing]

Chetta, mom will

be looking for me.

wait for five minutes.

Hey, don't fall!

Hey, catch me!

Let me go!

This time,

both the Shastam and Chinthu

(folk) songs didn’t have energy

That’ll change once the

serpent ritual dance starts.

You are already very high!!

next you will puke on the priest

Stop fooling around.

Take the bottle out.

Hey, don’t pull my lungi!

Give the stuff, man!

What’s wrong with him?

You idiot!

I’m going to sleep in

Pavithram bus after this drink.

Do whatever you want!

who's that there!!

Catch this!

Hey come man!!!

[burps]

Pick him up

Come on man

I will take this

sleep in the bus, okay?

Get lost, man!

At least eat something.

The event is amazing!

Hey, got any Center Fresh?

Nope!

Damn it!

I don't have any.

OH NOO!!!!

What's it, master!

Master!!

What happened?

Hey!

That Eldose and

Sathi’s daughter,

Suramya?

Yes, Suramya!

Both of them..

Inside the bus...

Everyone, come quick! Hurry!

Oh Swami!

Come fast! Hurry up!!

Oh Swami!

This way!

Something’s happening! Come on!

Oh Swami Ayyappan!

Swami Ayyappan!

Swami Ayyappan!

Hey drama queen, get down!!

Come down, and tell him too.

come on, get down!

[People shouting]

Eldose, come here, let

me see what you’ve got!

[People shouting]

What is this Chetta?

[People howl and jeer]

Chechi, don’t worry!

I reached before they started.

Hey, move aside!

He’s here too?

Doesn't he have a village

counsel to attend today?

What's going on here?

Come dear!

What’s this? Have you gone mad?

[People howl and jeer]

Trying out a new

technique, are you?

Huh?

Shall we go eat?

[People howl and jeer]

Oh Swami Ayyappan!

[chants hailing lord Ayyappan]

Is there any point in

blaming each other now?

They just made a mistake.

At least we should handle

this with some maturity.

Ikka, I begged her

not to be a feminist.

If they truly love each other

and are sure to get married...

these physical relationships

are not a big deal

People need to think a

little more progressively.

Say that again, and

I’ll break your bones.

It’s easy to throw around

the word 'progress card'.

Now blame me!!

We’re ready to

take responsibility...

for what happened

on our son’s part.

Well then, let’s

just move forward.

We’ll do a small

wedding ceremony.

All of a sudden, a wedding?

We have to fix this

somehow, right, Sathi?

What’s the use of

crying over it now?

Its not like old times now...

Chetta, they’re seriously

talking about

getting us married.

We never thought it

would come to this.

If it’s marriage, fine…

Are you switching sides now?

Didn’t I tell you

clearly from the start?

That I was only

physically attracted to you!!

Then let's tell

everyone the truth.

What else can we do!

Great!

These people will never

understand any of it.

You might walk away with

a bravery award for this also.

But I will be known as "Bus

stand Suramya" hereon.

You don’t need

to stress about it.

You don’t need to worry

about the wedding either.

I’ll take care of it.

OK

How did it go?

[Sound of glass being set down]

They’re talking about

marriage back there.

But it’s not going to happen.

Why?

Go on and marry her!

Isn't Jalaja chechi the one

washing your boxers still?

Then you will not understand.

I don’t understand you, Eldose.

It’s not some random girl

Isn't she asking you to marry

the girl you are in love with.

Don’t ruin that girl’s life.

I'm not here to

ruin anyone’s life

Just... give me a little space

[cursing]You will never

succeed in anything.

From the moment you were

born, all I’ve had is sorrow.

Some "Dheeran" you are!!!

His father took off into

the Arabian sea long back.

It’ll only get worse

if I keep talking.

Where are you

going with your bag?

Abbas Ikka!

I’m going to stay

away for a while.

What's the

matter? Huh?

Nothing specific

First you disrupt her marraige

and give the entire

village diarrhoea.

Then after you get

what you wanted...

you are dumping that

poor girl and getting away!!!

You Son Of A Bitch!!

Ikka, Don’t assume things

without knowing the details.

What details should I

know? Tell me! Huh?

Let me go!

Listen to me!

You know I was the one

who spoke to their family…

...I met those people

myself Just let me speak!

Oh No!!

Abbas Ikka! Abbas Ikka!

Abbas Ikka!

Hey, help catch him!

No matter where you hide,

we'll catch you, you bastard!

Start the car!

Hey, start the car fast!

[Sobbing]

Ikka!

Let's go!

We’ll deal with you later!

[Sobbing]

[Sobbing]

[Rapid footsteps]

Which brandy do you have?

This is Tamil Nadu

What brandy do you have, chetta?

Yeah.. 2 pints of that

...and a case of beer.

Got it, right?

Oh man, I forgot the snacks!

I’ve got mango pickle

in my bag. That’ll do.

When did you get that?

Sathi bought it

for her daughter.

Why do they need this anyway?

Yes, right.

Don’t you have any shame?

No manners at all.

What will Sathi

think if she finds out?

She wudn't have given

if we had asked her.

Perfect!

The beer’s not chilled.

Cold beer will destroy

my vocal chords

But how can anyone

drink warm beer?

Don’t worry. I’ve

got a fix for that.

Huh?

Yeah!

" Hold tight my love "

Driver!

Listen...

Yea?

I’ve always wanted to try the

original Dindigul

Thalapakkatti Biryani.

How far is it from here?

We’ll have to drive

200 kilometres

in another direction for that.

Shall we go for it then?

What about the body?

Oh Bloody Body!!

Go and sit there!

It's okay.

I said Dindigul only right?

" Let’s go.. It’s time.. Let’s

do it. Pack up.. Let’s move. "

Everyone be back in

ten minutes. No delays.

Present Sir!

Ikka!

Yeah?

I’ll stop by that fireworks

shop and get a few things.

Got the money from the club.

We should celebrate

New Year properly, right?

Yeah, get down!

It will be 10 minutes by

the time everyone steps out.

Woow.. what a heat!!!

How about some juice?

Can you move aside, chetta?

What place is this?

This is Erode...

[reading shop name]

Daar Athar

Huh?

Only quarter bottles

here? No full ?

Anna!

Yes?

This...

Anything to attract ladies?

[coughs mockingly]

Sembagam

Can you get me

a bottle of that...

In high doses

Thampi, two

pineapple juices please.

One without sugar.

Do you want it, dear?

Can I get it?

Super!

Don't worry!

I didn’t come here

to make trouble.

Our Eldose is gone.

We came to take his body.

All this while, I had been

thinking only from

my perspective

Never thought I’d get the

chance to say a proper sorry.

[Deep sigh]

Do you have money on you.

need some?

No money needed, Chetta...

Please don’t be angry with me.

Oh, okay!

Come, Aruvi!

Let's go!

I have only this to tell you!!

When you weld in

high voltage areas,

you need to use

tengauge welding rods.

That’s the only thing

you never got correct

Otherwise, you

are good at your job.

Ok then!

May only good

things come your way.

Thank you!

See...

That's...

it's nothing.

Chetta!

Do you have Jasmine

pickle err..

I mean perfume

No

No?

No!!

Damn it!

Why even open a shop if you

don’t have basic floral scents?

Huh?

It's okay

I'll go and keep this stuff.

OK

Here, have this

Hey! What's it man?

Move aside!

Hey Thampi!

What is it, man? Is

this thing gonna blow?

Hand over the money!

Are those good?

Hey, watch this! Watch this!

Hello! Hello!

This isn't a flower shop.

Put out your cigarette, please.

Who are you to tell me that?

Huh?

Who do you think you are?

Thampi! Thampi!

Leave it. No need for trouble.

Tell him that!

Aruvi chetta, we’ve caught him!

Spineesh please!

Please, just hear me out.

We can’t let him

walk away peacefully…

…after humiliating us

in front of everyone.

Tell him to spare us, chetta.

We’ll just leave, go

live somewhere else.

Hey, Malayali!

You come to my land

and try to mess with me?

[Loud, heavy thud, screams]

What’s the problem here, Aruvi?

Oh no!!

Oh God!

Move away!

Hey Suhail, someone threw

a bomb close the shutter!

Hey!

It’s crackers! Run, run!

Run Man!

Hey, don’t just stand

there pull the shutter down!

It's not a bomb.

Huh, then?

It’s a firecracker burst.

Hey, that shutter...

It was those

Malayalis who did it.

Scoundrels!

Useless jerks!

[Heavy sigh]

Damn!

You’re the one who messed

up everything, Spineesh!

I only did it because

of Aruvi’s emotions.

What emotion of mine

did you even understand?

My issue is not that she

is living happily with him

It’s the guilt... that

she left because of me.

That’s what really hurts me.

Oh!

Do we need to get beaten

by these tamilians for that?

This guy's kungfu

to top all that

All that unnecessary trouble.

It's to you!

Huh?

Oh no… is he driving?

You? Hey!

Hey, stop the vehicle!

Driving drunk!

I said stop right here, now!

Oh Lord!

Will he crash the vehicle?!

" O pilgrim bound for

the shores of Zion! "

" Don't fear the rising waves "

" O pilgrim bound for

the shores of Zion! "

" Don't fear the rising waves "

Stop! Stop!

Christian devotional songs

Didn't the driver mention it?

What’s done is done.

Now we’ll go straight

and collect Eldose’s body.

Until then, no one

should cause any trouble.

No

I’m too old to be dealing

with this kind of chaos.

Move over.

[DENKANIKOTTAI 26 KM]

You go work at

Saravanan’s fruit factory.

Understand how

everything works there.

And when the time is right...

Do it!

Then do one thing,

You go instead of me.

If he let me, I would’ve

done it long ago.

But we are not worthy right!!!

Back home Aruvi chettan and I...

Used to go fishing.

The fishes can't see these nets,

And once they swim in,

There's no way out.

But for Abooka...

he uses small fish as bait...

A catch is rare...

but when we get,

it will be a big one.

And, Ikka...

Huh?

Once I take the wheel,

I will be stuck in that job.

That’s why I didn’t.

[vehicle speeds past]

[Buzzing engine zips by quickly]

[Distant engine hum approaching]

Anna, are you heading

towards Bangalore?

Yes

Where do you want to go?

Denkanikottai, in

Krishnagiri district.

Alright, hop in.

So, what are you doing there?

There...

I'm going to work at

Saravanan boss's factory.

Oh yeah?

They gave me work there too.

I see

Girish

Eldose

hmm

Hey, how many times have I

asked you to set

up a stereo in here?

Its so boring.

Looks like I found some

entertainment up ahead.

This here...

Is hash oil.

[Laughs softly]

Hey, hit the brakes!

Need to check your vehicle.

Why not, sir? Please come in.

Hey, start the car!

Hey, Girish!

[Rapid punches]

Hey, leave him!

Girish, what’s

the need for this?

Hey!

Hey, hey Girish!!

[Kicks]

Please go, sir!

Well, that took

care of the boredom.

checking! damn him!

Don't worry!

In Denkanikottai, police

only come for two things.

One is passport verification,

And the other...

to die by Saravanan's hands.

[Laughs]

That's Malli's house

Oh ok.

This is the only place around

here that you will

get good booze

Her son passed away last night.

Let’s just stop by and

pay respects. Come.

[drum beats]

[women wailing]

Why does that guy

have scars on his face?

Was he attacked by a leopard?

Not a leopard..

it's Saravanan

Huh?

Why?

He stole mangoes

from his estate.

So, where is he now?

Did Saravanan go into hiding?

See that guy singing over

there... That’s Saravanan.

[singing]

" Who is there now to protect

your sister and mother? "

" I had warned you not

ten but a hundred times"

" Stay away from

the mango grove "

" Don't you steal my mangoes "

My dear!!!

See now...

The whole village is blaming me!

You can join today itself

" The Earth towers above "

" My desire glows like

One day...

When I was insanely bored,

I travelled all the way

from Kochi to Goa,

just to try a snake bite.

But once I got there,

This foreigner tells me,

If you want the

best snake bite...

You’ll have to travel far...

to Kerala..

Rajakaad it seems.

[Laughing]

What the hell!!!

[Laughter]

" No horns to boast,

no brawn to show

— And still, this task

You have to make sure

everything’s in order.

Hey!!

Come here!

Who are you?

Anna!

I know him.

He joined just yesterday.

Why are you scared?

No..

Did he say anything about me?

No...I never said anything!

How many times

have I told you...

Not to scare someone

the moment they come!!

There’s a lot of

time for all that.

Okay?

" King? who's it?"

" Who's the friend?"

" Who's the lover? "

" Who's the killer?"

" Who's brave?"

" Who's brave here?"

At twelve, I was a

hero in my hometown.

And a scoundrel

by the age of 30..

[Laughing]

Oh! Sorry Akka!

I was on the verge of

an emotional breakdown.

[Laughing softly]

Don’t you miss anyone from home?

Yeah!

Sometimes I do.

But now, no one likes me there.

The one I miss the

most is my father...

Yeah!

And Suramya,

She’s like a onetime wonder...

Sometimes Childish like

Urvashi in Kadinjool Kalyanam,

and sometimes Mature like

Meera Jasmine in Vinodayathra.

[Laughing]

When you said 'Father', I

remembered something...

Years ago, My father...

took me to see

the Kochi Carnival.

We rode the sky swing.

The sky wing

rocked to and fro...

..and when we reached

the height of a palm tree

Dad released his seatbelt...

...and jumped out.

[Heavy sigh]

The consistent swing

of the sky swing...

..must have bored him.

Can’t blame him.

[guilty laugh]

We’re done talking.

Now it’s Akka’s turn.

Say something.

There's nothing

much to say about me,

except my daughter.

She's my whole world now.

I just want to leave

this hopeless place...

and give her a good education.

Other than that...

..I have no

complaints with anyone

...or the strength

to fight anybody.

I’ve only got one

thing to say, brother

not even for a second

should we feel like...

why were we born

into this world?

Till the very last breath.

life should be

full of excitement.

For example,

Take our boss,

Saravanan?

Yeah

Just a filthy guy with

loads of dirty money.

If I ever get the chance,

I’ll beat him to the ground

Take his money, and disappear.

Isn't there some rush in that!!!

Huh?

Bro, I just gave you

an example, that’s all.

Girish etta!

I have something to say.

I was in the hangover of

watching the movie Naran...

when I saw my own father

drifting away in the river.

That’s how I ended up

being called the Brave one.

Otherwise...

I don’t have the guts to

kill anyone, Girish etta!

Abookka wouldn’t get

it, even if I explained.

That guy’s a mix of

foolishness and madness

he's sick in his head.

Huh

Even if I try to hide,

hmm

He’ll send someone after

me and have me killed.

hmm

Hey, Eldose!

Beating up a cop...

or trying snake bite

Does not give you

as much thrill as..

killing someone a thousand

times stronger than us...

You don't have to

kill Saravanan alone.

" O brave one,

It’s you. "

Sunday night,

He usually does the accounts at

the factory on

Sunday nights, right?

How about that time?

Should be safer at night, no?

No use!

If anything goes

wrong at the factory,

the whole place

will go into lockdown.

Then...

In Denkanikottai, for Saravanan

Day and night are the same!

" The path has

straightened out "

" The madness has all settled "

" All my emotions

fallen in place "

" Speed is behind us "

" We, as one, are ahead "

" Time has extended its hand "

" Friends stand united now "

"New desires sprout softly like

mushrooms in the

depths of my heart "

" Ten parrots came and sat on

my hands like a row of pearls "

" Murderous desires arise in

both like knife

rubbed on stone."

" Thousands of desires are

raining down like droplets "

We have to decide

how to kill him.

The method of killing

is very important

If we don’t get him alone...

the plan won’t work.

Hmm

Sarvanan has a cockfighting

farm in Shoolagiri.

He goes there every week,

with just a

supervisor by his side.

My mother does not

have any complaints...

But I want to take

revenge for my brother!

Hmm

[sounds of struggle]

Hey, come on!

[Quick grunt followed

by heavy breathing]

[Grunts]

[Guttural scream]

[kicks]

[Guttural scream]

Go quickly!

Grab the knife!

[Loud, piercing scream]

It definitely is

Eldhose's contract.

You said you’d help him,

You stood by his side...

You let your master down…

and made the wrong choice.

You’ve made a huge mistake.

You useless jerk!

Who do you think you are,

trying to scare, you scumbag

At the best, you will kill me.

The exciting life I

lived all these years ...

will end in the hands of

an ultimate bore like you...

That's the only shame I

will carry, you scoundrel.

[spitting in spite]

Eldose!

Now you’ve got to tell us.

Whose contract is this?

Hey!!

I can easily find

out who sent you.

But if someone like you ...

a tiny mongrel

breaches my fort

and the word gets out..

The shame is on me!!!

And that’s the

only reason why...

I am not letting

anyone outside know.

Anna!

At the place of their stay,

I found only this

bag of Eldhose.

Hmm

What's this?

That?

This is a medal.

What's this?

Huh?

Hey!

Look what this is!

It's a bravery award, Anna.

Given by the President of India.

[Laughter]

Hey!!

Where did you steal this from?

What’s a coward like

you gonna do with it, huh?

Satheesh!

Collect every bit of

info on Eldose tomorrow.

And give an article

in the newspaper.

News?

[smirking]

Ugh.

[Sharp, slicing sound]

[mournful crying]

A Malayali youth named Eldhose

trapped in a fire

accident at the factory..

has tragically lost his life.

[Sobbing]

[Wailing]

[Loud, uncontrollable sobbing]

Hey!!

Don’t cry, Eldose!

[uncontrollable sobbing]

Stay here for a

few days, okay!

Let’s see if there is anyone

concerned about your death

and comes looking for you.

[Sobbing]

[MORTUARY]

[Reading Mortuary in Tamil]

I’ll go and ask.

OK

Greetings!

We're from Kerala.

We’re here to collect a body.

Here’s the ID card.

Could you please check, sir?

Is it your relative?

yes..relative..

Ok

Dixon!

Yes?

Come here

He needs the relative’s

name and address.

Ok

He's the relative.

OK

Dixon Kuttanpuzha.

Not DICK...

It's DIX

Dix!

They make that mistake

sometimes, that’s why...

Ah!

You go in.

I’ll wait here.

OK

Come inside.

OK

Chettan, you can

go ahead if you want.

Oh, I’m not in a hurry.

[Back door creaks shut]

Eldose is a role

model for all of us.

He’s the pride and

braveheart of this land.

Oh God!

Ohhhh

[Sobbing]

How are we even supposed

to recognize him now?

What am I supposed

to say, Uncle?

This is the first time

I’m seeing him in person.

That little part of the

neck is similar to his

And then, there will be

some changes in a year right!!

Maybe it's the

Tamilians beating...

That's why he has bloated a bit

Hmm

What’s the point of checking

height and weight now?

Let’s just take him with us.

Yea

Driver!

Huh?

Please come!

Careful! slowly!

Where are you coming from?

Malayattoor

Who sent you here?

Huh?

What?

Who told you to come here?

His mother, Mary.

an employment

guarantee scheme worker.

His...

Who gave you the contract?

Contract?

How did he know that?

Hey!! What did you just say?

What did you say?

The contract was to..

catch the nutmeg thief

eh!!

But Anna.. I am

in the right here.

In Tamil Nadu, maybe you

don't have any

value for nutmeg..

Thats why I gave a

contract to catch the thief.

Anna..I don't think these

guys know anything.

Don’t think I've lost.

What’s all this?

He’s mad!!

for sure!!

Yeah, looks like it!

Yeah, Rascal!

Shall we eat something?

Yeah

Shall we stop somewhere?

Sit down here

What do you all want?

Five double omlette!

OK

One porotta!

Make it two!

Okay, two porottas.

Drinks?

Oh!!

Sister, do you brew here?

Hey!!

No drinks!

OK

No water, it's empty!

Shall I tell you a good idea?

Is it similar to

your idea of making

ice cream from rubber latex?

Hey kiddo, just listen first.

Ok, go ahead.

Eldose died in a

factory fire, right?

Shouldn’t we claim

compensation for that?

ohh

We should get it

from the factory owner.

I don’t want to ask

money over his dead body.

There he goes again...

we cant do this

if he is alive right?

Hmm

At least let the dead

body do some good.

Yeah

But, I will not allow

anyone to take...

even a single rupee

from that compensation.

Everything should go to Mary.

Then, why are we going?

What say, Aruvi?

I’m not coming

anywhere, Abaas Ikka..

Do what you want.

I can’t come all this way

again just to drag you back.

I didn’t ask you to

come fetch me Brother!!

I am not desperate to go back...

...and ring in the New Year.

And,

Wherever I end up,

for my survival all i need...

...is my welding machine

Whether anyone

comes with me or not.

Compensation!

" It’s the age of madness — pum

ra pum pum pum to the head, "

" Streets are filled with

hundreds of problems "

" Searching through vines, is

there silver coin

anywhere now? "

" Fates will be filled with

trouble and misfortune "

" We are stuck.. "

" Its a trap "

" Its a fight "

" torn to shreds

from top to toe "

We’ll have to

speak directly with

the factory owner, Saravanan...

I will get you the compensation.

Hmm. Okay!

Come.

Didn’t he say he’d definitely

get the compensation?

Anna...

Is there a temple nearby?

Temple?

Yeah, Temple?

If you go straight a bit,

there’s a small temple.

But the deity there is a crow.

eh?

Which crow?

Anna!

It’s not a mosque,

it’s a temple.

A proper Swami temple!

Yes, but the deity is a crow.

You know, the bird, crow?

crow

yeah

That's the deity there.

We came here using money

collected from the locals.

Is there a temple where

a cow is the main deity?

No.. No

There's none.

Crow it is then!!

Okay, Anna. Thanks.

Ok

Alright, see you.

You go collect the cash.

I’ll wait outside.

My whole body’s aching

from all the driving.

We’ll take the body too,

Only then will it be emotional.

Hmm

Ok?

Everyone's eyes

should well up with tears.

Huh?

" It’s the age of madness — pum

ra pum pum pum to the head, "

" Streets are filled with

hundreds of problems "

" So much money in

the problems we seek "

" Fates will be filled with

trouble and misfortune "

[scared breaths]

" It's failing "

" Plans are all

failing..its a sprint now "

" A flash "

" Bees flash in the eyes "

" Who punched so hard "

" Who was killed? "

" Who was killed? "

" Born in the same nest "

" Stuck in endless traps "

" Fate rains like

curse on our heads "

Hey, Hey!!

Eldhose, Hey!!

[Heavy breathing]

" Blood flows in the

warfield for the homeland "

" March on..fall like a

thunderstorm,

fearless and fast "

Hey!

Hey! Stop there!!

Hey!

Hey!

" O brave one... "

" Swim against the

mighty flow — rise up! "

" O brave one... "

" Break the waves, lift your

head — and move forward!"

" O brave one... "

" Fight with your

life for many lives "

" O brave one... "

" Battle all the obstacles,

with cunning grace..."

Hey, that crazy guy

is standing right there!

Is that Saravanan?

We honestly didn’t know

that you were Saravanan.

That’s okay, go on.

We're all

Eldose’s relatives.

He was..

a golden boy.

When he passed away...

...we are the ones

suffering his loss.

Now, all his family needs is..

..Support..

That’s all we ask.

Do you even know who he was?

He got a medal from

the President of India.

Bravest of the brave!

Yes

Isn't this that medal?

So, chetta... did you

too jump in the river huh?

Hey.. This is Eldose’s medal...

Leave that aside.

How much compensation

are you expecting?

Ahh

We shall..

..discuss this and tell you.

Hmm

Then what do we say?

Let's plan it first.

Yes

Shouldn't feel less

after fixing the amount.

How about ten thousand?

Ten thousand? [mocks]

What will we do with that?

One Lakh!

Thirty, Thirty, Thirty!

It's nice to hear.

With the rest let them

celebrate Onam or..

...or conduct the final rites

or whatever...who cares.

Anna!! Eldose has escaped!

I’ve sent the guys

to look for him

Will that sound like

too much, Uncle?

Nah!

From the way he talked,

I feel he’d give more.

Discussions are fine.

But if we don’t get

Eldose’s medal from him...

...I’ll change my tone.

For sure.

Come on, let’s go.

Shouldn’t have brought him

Idiot!!

Anna!

Neither yours...

..nor mine

One Lakh Rupees!

If you’re okay with one

lakh, just say so clearly.

I’ve got other work to do.

[Kicks]

I told you, one

lakh is too much!

Anna, fifty is more than enough.

Even twentyfive

is fine..twenty five.

That's enough.

He is not giving that medal.

What?

[soft groaning]

What do I even

say in a prayer now?

I pray for my wedding

to happen next month.

I hope atleast the

crow hears my prayer

[Heavy breathing]

Why not?

We should celebrate.

Let the compensation come..

Yeah, that's right.

See,

What about Dheeran’s funeral?

Oh, really?

Yeah

Alright then!

" It’s the age of madness — pum

ra pum pum pum to the head,"

The frog is still around??

Need anything else?

A lot of Malayalis come here..

Hmm

Two Malayali boys

used to visit often

but not anymore.

By the way...

Do you understand Tamil?

Yes..I do.

For a long time, I

only understood Hindi.

Now anything is fine.

Who do you have back home?

All Alone!

Amma!

What's it dear?

Amma!

What happened?

Eldose Anna!

Mom!

Eldose Anna didn't die.

[Heavy Breathing]

They tied him up

in the warehouse.

I set him free

Did anyone see you?

Yeah, they saw me.

They saw you?

Didn’t you just

say Eldose, dear?

Yes

Who's he?

He was working in

Saravana's factory.

Is this him?

Yes.

Saravanan will

definitely kill us.

surely he will kill us.

Don't be scared.

No one’s going to kill anyone.

Yeah!

Who is this Saravanan?

Huh?

There’s a lot to

talk about Spineesh!

Hmm

I told Abbas Ikka that

I don't want to come.

I haven’t even married yet.

You already know that, right?

Wasted all my prime years.

Still, what's wrong

with you guys...

To walk into the factory

with a dead body?

Who knows?

Pass me your phone.

Ikka, It's me Eldose.

Huh?

I’m not dead.

I’ll explain everything later.

But I need your help.

What kind of help?

If you’re alive,

don't waste time

get over here quickly.

I can’t come like

that now, Ikka!

My folks are stuck inside.

They can’t get

out unless I go in.

Eldose...

you don't have

folks or family now..

Come back without

wasting time man!!

Will this blast?

[Heavy breathing]

Spineesh

Can I trust you

with a few things?

Will you do it?

Huh..No network!!

Did he have to do all just

because we asked for some money

Things are emotional now right!!

Tears have also

welled up in your eyes...

This whole situation is fishy.

I am worried about that medal…

You guys have no

idea of the value of that.

Hey!

Don’t you have even

a shred of conscience?

We have taken so much beating...

..and you are still

obsessing over that medal!!

this one has no clue

about what's going on

even after his death,

he’s a big trouble

This tomato feels like

some hybrid breed.

Huh?

I should’ve just gone…

...with Spineesh

to pray to the crow.

Oh no!

Ammachi!

There are hundreds

of poems in my room...

Make sure they

all get published.

The poems can wait.

Hey, son!

Which shirt are you wearing

to the function tomorrow?

I'll iron it for you

Buy a white cloth

and iron that too!

Oh, what a joke!

And listen,

Who all are going to the

girl’s house tomorrow?

Nobody will need to go anywhere.

They will all come home instead!

Anna!

Do you have hot water?

There’s a New Year

program tomorrow

Actually, I am a singer.

It's okay.

Flopped!

Do you know...

There's a snake known

as "Deivathaankutti"

It’s not poisonous...

and very small.

But if you kill that one snake,

a hundred others will

come after you like an army.

Similarly you have all

come looking for Eldhose.

We don’t get a damn

word you’re saying.

What trouble did we cause you...

that you have locked us in here?

It's Eldose who created trouble.

I want him. Now!

Oh Anna, take him if you want.

We’re not dying

to keep him with us.

[Laughing]

That's not Eldose.

He tricked us and escaped.

eh!!!

He's still alive.

eh?

You all are his family, right?

Huh?

Then your golden boy...

will come looking

for you right!!

Let him come...

..the next instant,

you all can leave.

What did this guy say?

That Eldose’s body was switched.

The real one is

still in the mortuary.

Then who’s this..?

You were the one who

said the neck looked like his!

Now do we go back to the

mortuary to exchange this?

That’s not what he meant.

Eldose is alive...

Get lost, man!

This isn’t your

Panchayath to order around.

Hey scumbag!

You’ve been yapping

in Tamil all this while!

If you dare to keep this up...

[Loud thud]

Chetta!

It's Ok...

Watch his head.

Oh no!

Tie him up tight over there!

Give a couple extra knots..

Eldose?

Even if he knew we’re

trapped, Eldose wouldn’t come.

Good riddance.. that's

all he is going to think

Huh?

" O brave one.. "

" O brave one.. "

We don’t have time to

talk we need to get out, fast!

OK

Grab him!

Careful!

[Heavy footsteps]

You Guys..Bombay was my

home when you were a newborn.

Leave my child !!

[Screaming]

Come, let's go!

Come fast!

Eldose..Come fast!

Let go of my neck!

I said, leave me.

Track was fine..

but, its an orchestra..

Go away!

Hey, Hey catch them!

[Rapid footsteps]

Thampi, Thampi.

Let’s talk this through.

Atleast considering my age...

Please don’t hurt me..

I am begging you.

Oh no!!

Oh no! No!

Oh no!!

My head’s killing

me... I need to lie down.

Oh no, Mom?

Leave me!

Leave man!!

Mom!!!

Leave!!!

Leave us!

Hey!

Jaanu!

Hey!

Leave man!

Hello! Hello! [words echoing]

Mic test [words echoing]

Gone!!

[Screaming]

There's no point hiding anymore.

Let's go and smash them.

[Screaming]

Come

Hurry up!

Oh no!

Help him get up.

Leave me, go save yourself.

Ass is on fire and here you

are with your damn drama

Get up!

Hey! Hey!

Anna..Anna..Anna!!

Hey! Hey!

Hey, watch...watch it man!!

Hey, get lost!

Stop it, hey!

Hey, start the car!

What are you watching.

Start the car!

Let's go Anna!

Anna! Anna!

Fast Anna!

Come Anna! lets go.

Hey..start the car man!!

Where did they go man?

Oh no!

It's okay!

Chetta!

What?

I don’t know how

much longer will I live

Hey!

No..nothing will happen

Before I die, I have

to confess something.

Hmm..

I was the one..

who stole the nutmeg and

rubber latex from your house.

Huh?

Yeah!

Everything's still in my house.

[Sobbing]

Similarly, on Spineesh's wedding

Huh?

I’m the one who spiked...

the dessert with laxative.

Oh really?

Please… everyone forgive me.

Now it's better you die.

Don't say that!

[Sobbing]

Hmm!

[Sobbing]

Brotherinlaw!!

Huh?

Brotherinlaw!

Whose?

I am your sister

Jeslin’s husband.

Will talk later.

OK

My brother!

Don't open your mouth..you!!

Waiting here won’t

solve anything.

Spineesh!

Yeah?

Start the vehicle..

Ok

OK

Oh no!

Hey! There’s a bike coming,

move quickly!

Hurry up!

Tell him to speed up

Spineesh!

Someone's

coming! hurry up!

Ok

Are we all going to die?

Just stay quiet!

[Sobbing]

What was it then, when

I was sitting with Sathi?

Depression!

If we get back alive..

you owe us an

explanation for this.

Yeah, right!

Oh no!

Hold on, everyone!

[Thud as cars collide]

[Screaming]

There's a vehicle

blocking ahead.

Spineesh!

Remember that old movie...

where Lalettan

races an ambulance!!

Yeah

That’s our only option now.

If you can drift, then

you can jump as well.

Do it!

Full speed ahead!

Ok

Oh no!

Spineesh, stop stop!

What about the jump?

" O pilgrim bound for

the shores of Zion! "

" Don't fear the rising waves "

" As the one in your boat is the

ruler of the wind and the seas "

" As the one in your boat is the

ruler of the wind and the seas "

Huh?

Isn’t that the perfume

shop guy we met at Erode?

Huh?

There are three or four

perfumes in my bag,

Maybe he’ll back

off if we return them.

Oh, bloody rascal...

you will disappear with

someone's belongings

by the time they

tuck their lungi.

What Saravana...

How’s it going?

All good?

Yeah!

[Laughing]

Cleared up your confusions...

...about the contract, huh?

Eldose is our guy.

You can’t lay a finger

on him anymore.

Eldose!

Tell your folks to leave,

This isn’t their fight anymore.

Go!

I never expected that...

...you will be

behind the contract.

The Aboobakker I knew...

fights facetoface.

just like this.

Forget the freezer

and the fireworks

Happy New Year, everyone!

Happy new year!

Will you stop

blabbering and just drive!

What do you do, brotherinlaw?

I’m the blessed artist of

Kuttampuzha Seven Beats

First, Ganapathi Bhagvan

Four in Tamil and one in Arabic

Nari Nari song!!!

But now, I don’t think I’m fit

to sing any of this anymore.

I’ve heard all your stories.

How they caught you,

and how you tricked that girl.

It's okay.

You don’t need to

feel awkward to talk.

Suramya told me everything.

Changing society isn’t

like flipping a switch.

Revolution takes time.

Oh my dear son!

[Sobbing]

[Sobbing]

Hello! Check! Hello! Hello!

Hello! Hello! Check!

Hello! Please increase
