The one who swapped the iron nail...

with a bamboo one, bribing the blacksmith

to plate it in gold is Chandu!

A big black bug bit a big black...

A big black bug bit a big black...

Like how Annie loves her son...

Can you love me, Maggie?

A big black bug bit a big black bear...

And the big black bear bled...

blue black blood!

But there's a small issue, Varma Sir...

-Jesse... -Ah!

-Hey, Jesse! -Coming.

Open the door, man!

Er... Dad...

Haven't you showered yet?

No... I had ten more sit-ups to finish.

PT teachers should've this spirit for the kids to catch up with them!

-Yes. -Ah...

What chutney do you need for dosa? Red or green?

Green. Yes, green will do.

I'll wash the car by the time you shower.

Speed up! Don't let the kids say you're late!

Good shot, Jesse!

Good shot!

-Dad, I'm leaving. -Okay.

Get some spinach in the evening.

Okay, sure.

-Teacher... -What's today's special?

-Pizza. -Pizza?!

Chicken dumplings yesterday and pizza today...

Never expected this when you said, your wife is a great cook!

Our kitchen has become a cooking lab in the last few days!

She has a plan to start a cooking channel on YouTube as well!

Everyone will have to subscribe then!

We've to hit the silver button in three months!

Sir, keep a check on your cholesterol levels!

Sure!

-Teacher... -Thank you!

By the way, is Jesse Sir on leave today as well?

I could do few more revisions...

if I got his hour.

Any chance for that, Bindu teacher?

-Never gonna happen! -Why so?

If he's on leave today as well,

Manju teacher's portion for the next year will be reduced a bit more!

Why? Didn't he give you when asked?

Our poor faces have not become cover pictures on any magazines, Sir!

Dear Teacher... Don't give such poor talks...

with such a graceful name like Jaishree!

-Anyone left to get it? -Huh, two is enough!

Come on, Sir. Take one.

There are certain facts in what the teacher just said!

-Sure, there will be. -Good morning!

-Good morning! -Good morning!

Sir, pizza!

Sorry, Sir... I really want to try, but I'm on a diet.

Will do one thing. I'll give my share to...

Jaishree teacher.

-Eh? -Of course.

-Don't ruin your diet. -Yes.

-Here! -Hasn't Manju teacher come?

Let the pizza be done, if not the portions!

-Right, Teacher? -Jesse Sir!

Finish it quick.

Headmaster has asked you to meet him.

Momos are coming for tomorrow.

-Sir, take. -Me?

-Yes, you! -Me?

Babu, the stench from the toilet is far better than this one!

It will cause trouble if students get sick after spraying this...

to clear up the stink of the toilets!

Return this and bring me something good.

And solve this problem by tomorrow.

Class 10 exams are coming.

Students should write their exams peacefully.

Got me? Then, go.

-Yes, Sir. -Babu, one more thing...

Your ringing of the long bell is a bit too lengthy.

-You need to shorten it. -I will.

Okay then, you may leave.

Ah! Teacher...

Until the new room freshener comes,

temporarily shift the class to under the shade of that tree.

Let there be a 'gurukul' teaching vibe for some time!

-Okay, Sir. -Then you may leave, Teacher.

Hello!

Good morning, Sir!

Not such a great morning, Jesse Sir!

What happened, Sir?

I agree that our school made...

some progress at this year's Sports Fest...

I also agree with the fact of you being a cinephile...

But don't think I'll always encourage your auditions and film-leave.

Especially with the exams around the corner!

Er...no, Sir. I'm aware of that.

Mark my words! We'll double this next year!

-What? Your leave? -No, the number of medals.

Fine. How was the film?

Film... The film was superb!

-Anna and Roshan were great! -What about Bhasi?

Bhasi always scores! No doubts there!

-Bhasi will. I knew it! -Exactly!

-Sir... -Yes, Teacher!

Here!

Will you be in any magazine soon?

I have got some revisions to do.

So, not doing many modelling works.

That's the right way.

-This one... -Here. Fine.

-I'll leave then. -Okay.

Sir, I've sent the link to the Korean movie I mentioned last time.

Check that out when you get time.

Isn't exam duty starting? You can leave...er...

Eh? Left already? Great!

-Teacher, are your revisions done? -Ah, Sir...

I was able to cover some portions as I got your PT period.

Was it audition yesterday... or,

-some new release? -Both!

Is it going to be just attempts...

Or is there any room for hope?

Hope... Isn't it everything? (Imitating Mohanlal)

After you become a celebrated actor,

remember me, when any good character roles come.

I'm not sure about me, but there's a good actress in you!

I've noticed it many a times,

when you teach drama to the students.

I'll get going, then.

Good morning!

I'm going to take the attendance.

Rahul...

[cricket commentary playing]

Good shot!

It's an exciting race happening...

[Sports commentary from Jesse's past]

The one leading is chest number 3344!

Jesse George!

Jesse is leading. Everyone else if far behind.

Jesse George!

Start camera!

Rolling, Sir...

Music!

I love you.... Ki... rr... Kiran!

Sir!

Er... what's it?

About our short film?

This should not affect your exams.

-No way, Sir. -One more thing...

-What's it? -Don't add my name as Producer.

It'll be messy if Dad gets to know!

By no means gonna do that, Sir!

-Isn't it right, man? -Ha!

Sir, shall we get the football?

-In this exam season? -But Sir...

We are tired doing revisions...

Isn't some refreshment good?

Also, isn't it said, a healthy mind dwells...

in a healthy body?

Oh! Take it then. I'll join soon.

Okay. Come, man!

By the way...

expand my character!

Don't we know that?! Sir, you are the main!

Sir, stop stepping out in the sun too much...

You will lose that character charm.

Action!

-Hey, pass the ball! -Here, pass... here!

Hey! Play by passing the ball...

-Sir... -Eh? Aah!

-A kid fainted in Bindu teacher's class. -Oh?

Manju teacher asked if you could drive the car to the hospital?

Sure. I'm coming.

-What happened here? -No clue, Sir.

-Passed out while reading the textbook. -Oh!

Don't worry, Manju teacher. Will reach there soon.

You, too, Bindu teacher!

Sir, this river is my mother...

She fed me when I was hungry...

Took my tears away when I cried, not letting anyone see...

What a scene, isn't it, Teacher?

-What's it, Sir? -That is...

Mohanlal throws a handful of water on his face, stepping in the river!

-Did you get the point? -Nah!

To hide the tears in his eyes.

-Oh! -That's an actor!

I will wait for you on the other side.

Nothing to be scared of.

The doctor said it's due to less sleep and food.

The kid was sitting up all night, studying!

The doctor advised keeping her under observation for an hour.

-Same issue with all the kids these days. -True.

-It's a relief that nothing happened. -Yes.

Yes, relieved.

We have time on our hands now.

So, I'll run to the bank and come back soon.

Do you have any issues?

No worries. Please go and come.

No issues even if you are late. Manju teacher and I are here, anyway!

Okay, then.

Teacher, there's a hotel nearby, that serves piping hot banana fritters!

What about we go for a tea?

Aha, Jesse!

Hi, Doctor!

-What brings you here? -Came to the hospital.

-Everything's fine, right? -Yes, it is.

One of our students is in there.

-Came with her. -Oh.

This is one of our teachers.

-Oh, hi! -Hi.

You are not missing the check-ups, are you?

-No. Everything's on time. -Okay.

-Carry on. Okay. -Okay, Doctor.

-Check-ups for who? -That's a long story, Teacher.

I'm interested if the story could be wrapped up in an hour.

Uhm... Dad was...

State champion in javelin throw.

Mom was second in State for 400 metres.

They first met at an Inter-University Meet.

Dad accuses him of toppling Mom, who was running well!

Because after marriage...

Mom's running was limited to home and its surroundings!

And Dad ran to catch up with life!

So, their biggest dream was to make me an athlete.

Dad was a big fan of Jesse Owens...

He named me after him.

But for me... cinema was my love.

Only later did I realise that it was for acting.

Mom died when I was 7 years old.

Malaria...

Dad's life became me...

after Mom died.

People might say about a mother's void...

I've ever felt that as a shortfall.

Dad has never let me feel that shortfall...

What's this?

Huh? What have you done?

Jesse... Hey!

Hey... Stop there!

Even when I went for some auditions without Dad's knowledge...

athletics never left me!

When Dad ran for me...

I, too, ran a lot for him!

There are couple of medals at home. But...

I had a bike accident in between.

That was a bit serious.

There's still a steel rod in my hip!

It was here, at this hospital. The Doctor we saw before...

With that, the curtain for athletics fell!

Dad was extremely sad that day!

Later, I got into this job...

in Sports Quota!

Now, Dad is also a bit relaxed.

C'mon, have your tea, Teacher!

Don't your Dad know about this interest?

No. Not gained the strength to tell him.

Have to tell him when it comes.

About the bike accident happening...

while I was going for an audition!

After that incident, Dad bought me that car

asking me not to ride bike again!

5 tested positive for Covid in Kochi.

They belong to a group of British tourists visiting Munnar.

They've been moved to the isolation ward at Kalamassery Medical College.

All the very best for our short film.

And a smiley!

Our short film...

"Our"....

The chapati is getting burnt....

I'll have the burnt one, Dad.

-Hello, Teacher! How was Janatha curfew? -Same as everywhere!

-But something happened today. -What?

Don't you remember my friend Sagar, the director?

-The one I've told you about... -Ah, yes...

He called me today. A casual call.

Then, I mentioned you to him.

Let our short film finish...

-Oh, that wasn't necessary? -Come again?

I don't have such big dreams and all...

Just needed to show my face before the camera. That's all.

-All will be good, Sir. -Jesse!

-What's this? -Jackfruit seed shake.

Ah, come on.

How's it?

-Did you use too many seeds? -Nah, let me see.

Here, hold this.

Hello, Jesse, Sir!

Siju Sir... Do you know where

Vipeesh from Class 10B lives?

-What's the matter, Sir? -Had some urgent work to take care of.

-Why not? We can find that out. -Fine.

Who's it? Are you from the Health Department?

No, I'm from the school. Isn't this Vipeesh's house?

Vipeesh, your Sir's here.

Vipeesh... It's Jesse Sir.

Jesse Sir...

Sir, come here!

What happened to your phone?

Sad situation, Sir. It's broken.

I take my Mom's phone even for playing PUBG!

-What's the matter, Sir? -The thing is...

Sir... Social distancing...

I came to check on that short film...

-of ours... -Oh, that's what this is...

It's difficult, Sir...

Isn't the film industry in a crisis these days?

No idea when will we get permission to shoot amidst all these!

And I gave that money as advance for buying a camera.

No worries. What about doing a guerrilla shoot, then?

Sir, aren't our lives more important?

That's true.

Vipeesh, come here.

Sir, Mom's calling. Shall I leave?

Will catch you later. Okay, bye.

Is this that film lover Sir of yours?

Corona is torturing people; and there he is with short film, pft!

Good it rained. It's got cooler now.

Short film will happen, dear.

Manju mentioned.

When I got cinema tickets from your pockets...

and saw your videos on Instagram now and then...

Never knew this was such a strong desire.

You could've shared this with me...

I'm not some selfish Dad.

I thought...

you will be sad. -Nah!

What if I'm sad?

We are sportsmen.

There will be hurdles when you chase something, you love.

You will have to jump over it even if it's at home!

Dad...

Dad understands, dear.

If kids understanding their parents is considered noble, then...

It's a sin for the parents to not know their kids!

What about we try even harder?

Who knows what's going to happen now!

Jesse...

Last 5 seconds are enough to decide the turn of a game

Only then can you confirm the failure.

Let me soak the rice and urad dal for the idli.

We will think more after that.

Hello... Hello, Sir...

Ah, Jesse Sir...

I forgot to inform you yesterday.

Online classes are starting on Victor's channel.

You might have heard.

How long will we go without taking classes?!

They have selected you to take Physical Education classes.

The class is tomorrow afternoon.

Revise the portions beforehand.

-Okay, Sir. -Okay.

-And that's how First Battle of Panipat -Cut!

This isn't working, Sir.

I'll get it ready now.

How many takes did we do so far?!

Can you give me a piece of chalk to throw?

Isn't the cane enough? Need chalk too!

It's because no students are before... Else I would've...

Sir, you may leave. We will manage this.

Did you see this? I...

I wrote this book myself. This is what the kids study!

Ganesh bro...

This will go round in circles!

These are the curses of those kids!

Can you give me one more chance?

Sir, we will try again, next year.

-Argh! Chance! -Nimal, remove that mike.

-Eh... Where to? -Mike...

-That mike... -Sir, please tell him...

Shucks!

-Hey, the online classes... -Going to take class, right?

Sure, go ahead... huh!

Programme producer, Alex?

He is inside. Are you here to take classes?

Yes. And you?

I'm shooting this. I'm a cameraman.

-Oh really! -I'm from cinema,

Came here to help as my friend got sick.

-Your name? -Ganesh.

Have you heard of Santhosh Sir?

-Oh, yes. -I've worked as his associate.

That means you get to mingle closely with these celebrities... right?

Not much... but a few.

-What's your name? -Jesse.

I love cinema so much.

Yeah, caught that on seeing you.

-Ganesh, come. -Sir, come.

Set the camera ready.

All okay, Sir?

Illyas!

Hey, Illyas!

People are waiting in the queue at Screen 4.

-Should I repeat this every day? -Sir, Satheesh...

What Satheesh? Get there, fast!

Here.

Sauce

Bro, can you please take the coffee to Mr. Grumpy?

She blocked him right then and there!

What's wrong with these guys?!

Ha! Start thinking about that.

After all, the guys here, they don't know how to love.

Half of them are into feasting and killing;

and the other half,

not even care to share or show what's in their hearts!

Okay, then. See you tomorrow.

♪ It's not a toy ♪

Ha! You're back!

[Television serial playing]

Wasn't there an actress, who always cried?

The one Mom used to say, whenever you fought with Uppa.

Jalaja!

Ha! Jalaja!

[romantic film soundtrack from the theatre]

Sir, Which movie is releasing next week?

Why?is there your aunt's movie releasing?

Illy

You'll hear a mouthful if you sit here and daydream.

, it's Friday. We got 2 film releases.

Are there people?

Yeah, for the English movie. Hindi is awful.

My mom always used to say, when she went to films before,

a red curtain was raised, accompanied with light and sound.

That, it was great.

Why don't we have that now, Sir?

I've always wanted to come here and see all these.

You don't eat samosa or puffs, do you?

How old is your mother?

Mom is in her early fifties.

Earlier, there were just 3 shows,

unlike the 8 or 10, we have now.

Matinee,

First,

Second.

And a Morning Show in case of festivals or holidays.

Who got time to lift and drop

the curtains now?!

True that!

-Okay, then. -Eh?

You may leave.

Okay, Sir. 3 tickets are available.

Why's your face so glowy?

Mr. Grumpy talked a little today.

Wow, man!

Did your share your film dreams?

Nah!

Yes, Ma'am.

Seat 2. Screen number 2. Thank you.

I've the late-night shift today.

I'll be dead cycling back.

C'mon, who's really cycling here?

Sir...

[sounds coming from inside the theatre]

You don't need 3-4 people

for this job today, like before.

-One person is more than enough. -Yeah.

You don't have to worry about carbon arc lighting or focus going out.

Theatres have grown bigger.

No need for parents anymore,

with them standing on their feet!

You shouldn't stand here staring like this.

They know we are alone in this

dark, tiny room.

Who?

They...

They...

I've been seeing the world

in this dim light for years now.

I know who humans are.

And who are the ones that went to the other side.

You mean ghosts?

Don't you hear?

The barks and screams of

dogs and foxes?

Oh, was it that! I was scared for a second there.

It's the film's release day. Fans are having a blast.

This is nothing compared to the hassles guys from our place used to do in theatres!

There was an oldie called Anthraper on our island.

He used to mimic the sounds of every bird and fish perfectly.

Turtle, stork, whale...

Film representatives of the time

used to give him money to ruin shows of opposite companies

by doing mimicry in theatres.

My mom says that

the Navy guys in Venduruthy restrict people

from their theatres because of this oldie.

What?

Why are new films

always released on Fridays?

Tell me.

It's for those beings, who come out only on Fridays.

It's for them to come and watch it fresh.

Only people die...

Their desires,

and cravings

stay forever.

There's no this world

or another world

for desires.

Sir, shall I leave then?

I want to take a leak.

I just need the footage from the parking lot.

Please show me. Please.

Show me, dear.

He wanna see girls' legs, pft!

-Leave, man. -Nah, it's not for that.

I'm sure that's what this is. You better leave.

This isn't because you took a higher dose, is it?

Didn't I say it's not that?

Does he smoke; your Mr. Grumpy?

I'm to blame for coming to you for an opinion, Afi!

Then it might be true.

Ghosts might be coming to watch films.

And no censor certificate says it's only for humans.

Illy...

Our Uncle from Pattambi, who died...

The one who was even against seeing a photo...

When the other spirits go to the movies, what will he do?!

Might be living a boring life in the grave, right?

Trap some ghosts in a bottle and bring them next Friday.

We can tear them down.

What were you both secretly talking about me?

What's it?

[Hindi song plays]

Naruto... Ben-10... Attack on Titans

Illy! Could you take this up?

Please, dear.

What happened? It's only been two days.

Did you fight with Mr. Grumpy?

-Please! -I can't.

-Attitude! I'll show you! -Silly stories to scare people!

Hi!

Still thinking of me?

Oh my God!

Didn't you leave? Noo

Open that door.

Who are you?

What's your name?

Illyas.

Why are you in this Yakshi Kaavu at this time?

You bloody swine!

-What's in your bag? Bomb? -Should be.

Is it a bomb? Come on, walk!

Come on, walk.

-Look straight and walk. -What's the matter...

-Walk straight! -Tell me what's the issue.

How dare you come to our Yakshi Kaavu with a bomb?

He's that kind; we shouldn't spare him.

What did you say your name was?

Illyas.

They've been doing things for a while now.

-Illyas... -Don't look!

You visit this groove of ours occasionally, don't you, Illyas?

-Sure, it's him. -Why the hell are they roaming here?

Illyas, my dear! Come on, get up.

Stay calm, dear.

We should end this tonight.

Take out everything, don't spare even a hanky!

-He and his stares! -Give me that!

Show your hand.

I gave the puffs. Forgot the cool drinks.

-Stop goofing around and go! -Oops! The show's almost over!

Thank you!

"Nossu" [Madness]

Come, my beloved,

Let us go forth to the field;

Let us lodge in the villages.

Let us get up early to the vineyards;

Let us see if the vines have budded,

Whether the grape blossoms are open,

And the pomegranates are in bloom.

There...

I will give you my love.

Daughters of Jerusalem,

I charge you;

Do not arouse or awaken love

Until the time is right.

-Did the kids sleep? -No, Joel is awake.

He's wilful of winning the top rank this time.

We need to build...

a separate room for our son.

-Hello! -Hello, Dad!

-Aah, dear! Are you doing well? -Yes, Dad. We are good.

Dad, we are finalising that.

They are offering a pretty good amount.

And, Jincy's house construction will be done by this month as well.

Then, you can stay with them.

Also, Dad... Hello...

Dad, can you hear me?

Hello... Hello...

-Hello! -What's it, dear?

Dad's condition is a little worse.

-Tell me properly. -There's some issue.

You have to come here as soon as you can!

Will he get leave for the Christmas holidays?

He was talking about helping Jincy with her housework...

I don't think he will take it even if offered.

I always think of him when I hang the star.

He was impatient till he confirmed the star was okay,

after watching it from the upper yard.

He was always the winner of the crib competition at the Church.

How fast does these kids grow?!

Hey! Hey! Tea!

Come, sit.

Like you asked...

We have not let them burn Dad's things.

Did everyone agree to that?

Isn't that the custom?!

So, it was a little difficult to convince Uncle.

I never thought...

Dad will leave so soon, before I came.

After all, I'm always late with affairs of Dad!

Dad was gloomy from the moment we talked about...

selling the old house.

We thought he'll be fine on coming here.

But even after coming here...

Dad...

What's the matter, Dad?

I needed to take a shower, dear.

-What is it, Dad? -At 1.30 am?!

Dad wanted to have a shower...

What's it, Dad?

-I've applied oil too. -What happened?

Dad wanted to take a shower.

I just told her about it.

I need to take a lengthy, luxurious, good, soapy bath...

I need to have a proper bath. Let me take a good, perfect one.

That day, he got out pretty soon.

But...

He was kind of...

disturbed.

Dad used to spend a long time

in the bathroom, even in our old house.

But we didn't mind it then...

But after that night's incident...

We started watching Dad closely...

After that...

Dad withdrew into his room.

He neither attended the evening prayers nor went to the Church.

We noticed Dad getting weaker with each day...

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among

women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women...

women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.

♪ In the middle you left me, that day ♪

♪ Those forgotten unsaid-s throb inside ♪

♪ I wait here, for your return ♪

♪ Like a sun that never sets ♪

♪ Bloomed drizzles over the walls ♪

♪ On the edges of those petals ♪

♪ Did my life sob? ♪

♪ Burning silences go searching, again ♪

♪ For you, the tune ♪

♪ I searched you to fondle ♪

♪ Calling you, delicately ♪

♪ Mellow moonlight scattered ♪

♪ On the shady tree, now hidden ♪

♪ My quivering heart ♪

♪ Or the sky of memories ♪

♪ Like darkness in shadow ♪

♪ Here, I am ♪

It went on like that for 4-5 days.

The next day, Dad went out. And we didn't ask where he was going.

Because every time he returned, he was happy.

Then,

It was after two weeks...

we received their call.

-Aah, Varghese! How's your mother? -How are you, Uncle?

-Mom is doing well. -I came to Rahel's place. Shaji is in town.

-Come! Come inside... -I sat listening to his Gulf stories...

-Are you guys doing well? -Yea!

Take a seat, Uncle.

-Hey, get some tea. -I'll get something to drink.

-Of course. -So, how are things, Uncle?

-Eh? Don't you water this? -I missed it for the last 2 days.

Oh-no! During Pambadi Flower Show...

Alice bought this, so eager and excited.

After her death, I used to water this twice a day.

Shouldn't you notice this? That looks pale...

I was busy last few days. We were making dried tapioca.

Dear... erm... I had to use the bathroom...

-Felt it at their place but didn't... -Sure. Please, Uncle...

-Please go... -I'll...

Then...

It was to their place Dad was going to every day.

They didn't take it that day.

Alex said you would come. Please come in.

When are you returning to the States, Joel?

-Nothing's planned. -Varghese...

This time the issue was with the washer.

It was filled with moss and dirt.

I've corrected it. If there are any other issues, call me.

-Sure! -Okay, then.

The shower in that bathroom is always caught in one issue or another.

What was the issue?

Uncle had different excuses, for each time.

Isn't Varghese around, dear?

Haa, Varghese... Are you milking?

Isn't Varghese back from rolling the rubber sheets?

Varghese... Are you cleaning the fish?

Oh! You were here! I searched the whole farm for you!

Varghese... How many sheets do you have now?

Every time, he will somehow end up asking to use the bathroom.

How long can we take this?!

At last, I had to talk harshly...

Uncle... Uncle...

Uncle, don't feel bad... But this is a dirty practice.

Will you let this happen at your home?

This can't happen again.

Uncle came here again, one more time.

Varghese... dear...

Dear... I'm restless, sitting there, at home...

I can't take this anymore.

Can I use it, one last time?

Just one more time. Will never come back with this request.

Once more... eh?

On seeing that he's not out after an hour, I panicked and called Alex.

But by then, he had lost it completely...

Dad...

I haven't seen Samuel after Jincy's house warming function.

In the past, he used to run here for confession,

even if he raised his voice at the kids!

I remember...

him coming here one time to share his pain after you shouted at him.

He himself will tell the issue...

as well as the solution.

I just want to sit there, listening.

Dad had some issues which he never shared with any of us.

Was it that? Or was it not having anyone to listen?

Joel...

I didn't intend to hurt you... I was telling the truth.

Joel, life is a circle of repetitions... We only realise it,

when it comes back in full circle.

I'll pray for you.

If you want to make a Confession, come to the parsonage.

Why are you laughing, Alice?

I was thinking how this habit of ours have not changed...

even after shifting from our one-roomed house to this.

We live in these habits, don't we?!

Have you ever thought of it, Alice?

About what?

After finishing all the works in the farm and household chores...

we drew all the plans for our life...

not in our bedroom, but here.

All our planning in the bedroom stopped with the coming of Joel!

Naughty woman!

Oh, now you are embarrassed!

How can I keep a straight face with you saying that?

What happened?

Felt like someone's talking...

It might be the thoughts... Come here.

Have you been sitting here for a while?

Shall we sell that upper portion of land?

No! What happened?

If our son wants to study the course he likes...

that might be slightly expensive.

We can deal with Jincy's share later.

With this, our house construction will happen as you wish and Joel's studies.

Everything will happen.

That was the land we cleared and planted tapioca! Huh!

Didn't we reach till here, accumulating our many little works?!

Whatever is gone, our son will get them back!

Come...

Let's sell it.

I got admission at Carmel School for Class 12.

I had rank in Class 10.

And Carmel was the best option we could get...

Everyone had big hopes for me...

But I couldn't survive there.

Coming from a Malayalam- medium syllabus...

I wasn't able to get along with...

their language and customs...

Also, I had a complex of coming from a village...

When I presented this at home...

Nobody understood me.

And it's hard to understand too.

But my Dad got me.

When we went to the office to collect the Transfer Certificate...

The office staff laughed at Dad.

Dad said nothing.

I still remember...

Dad holding me close, while leaving the school.

Mom has always asked me...

about wasting one year.

Later, I joined a parallel college nearby for studies.

Even then, Dad said:

"Do as you like."

I shouldn't have sold...

my Dad's biggest love.

-Did the kid sleep? -Hmm.

Didn't we get back this house for Dad?!

Don't be sad now.

I couldn't understand my Dad,

like how he understood me, Ancy.

Hey!

Please switch the radio off!

Mom, isn't your work done? Praveen will be here soon.

It's almost done, dear. I just have to serve him this tea.

How many did you have already?

Keep a tab. You got a history of diabetics in your genes.

This was the first thing she asked for on waking up!

Huh, best!

Mom, isn't this your wedding sari?

Looks great on you!

Here, give this tea to your father.

Ugh! Poor Dad!

If we don't keep track now, it will be bad later.

Dad is in a bad mood. Are you sure about him not coming?

The bad mood is about something else. Never mind.

And, not coming for the wedding fixation...

that's on your Uncle Sreedharan's cold invitation!

Can we even complain?

Dad being a Health Inspector was no excuse for shutting down his brother's shop!

He, who was strict about others' health...

is reckless when it comes to his health!

-Hello! -Sir, we are from Health Insurance...

Didn't I already mention I'm not interested?

Such a waste of time!

Mom, Praveen's here. Leave that! C'mon, we are already late.

I'll come after cleaning the plates. You go ahead.

Mom, pfft!

Prabha... Shall I keep this in the fridge?

No. I will do that myself.

Asking you would be a bad move. Go, go. Wash your mouth.

Go!

Dad, we will be leaving now.

Diya! Come on, speed up!

This woman, tch!

O Krishna!

Hello!

I'm leaving.

-Any chance, dear? -No way, bro!

[mimicking] No way bro...

Shobha, didn't Gireesh's quarantine days end?

-It's always quarantine for him. -Why?

It's always quarantine for guys who never leave the house.

That's true.

-What about your son... -Praveen Uncle...

-Haa! What a surprise! -You should go super fast.

Of course! We will fly like a bullet!

Don't forget your mask. Else the police will catch us.

-Sharp on time! -Aren't I always quick as a flash?!

Didn't you get the car repaired?

No. The workshop guys said 2 more days.

After all, it's better not let Sir drive.

Teacher is the apt person to run that car.

-Let Dad never hear you! -Oh-no! Never! Please.

Anyway, we got to know that after the accident.

-True. By the way, where's he? -Inside.

Eh... Oh-no!

What're you doing?

-There's something. -What?

Give me a hand with the pleats of the sari.

-Who? Me? -Mmm.

Come here, man.

-Eh, hey... -Come.

Tch!

I've kept the juice and the meds in the kitchen.

Have them at the right time.

One more thing... Don't forget to feed the fish.

Hey, Mr Inspector!

If you try to go out like the last time or order from outside...

I'll get to know!

-Got me? -Yes.

-Veena, I'm ready. -[grumbling noises]

-Whose function is this? -Uncle's daughter.

Raji, we are leaving. Please keep an eye.

-Okay. -We don't get many rides these days.

-Good morning! -Teacher!

Girija, when you light the fire, don't burn the mango flowers.

I'll drop a message in the group about tomorrow's classes.

-Praveen, shall we go? Get in, dear. -Yes.

Get in, fast.

-Move a little. -Dear, hold tight.

Okay!

-C'mon, race! -Shush!

It's okay.

-What's it? -My cow got untied...

That's why I wasn't here when they left.

Teacher asked me to check on you in between.

If you need anything, let me know. I'm around.

-What if the cow runs away again? -Not again. I've tied on a different spot.

Can I get some tea?

Whoa! I'll make some and bring it, real quick.

Sir...

I won't be adding sugar though...

If Teacher gets to know, she'll scold me.

Oh! Then I need no tea. You leave!

-Let's fix the 25th, then... -Hello!

Is there anyone left in this locality to learn that I'm diabetic?!

Tell the new relatives who are over there as well, pfft!

Just because some 10 or 20 points have increased... this woman!

To insult me!

Don't waste your time hunting sweets. Everything's locked up in the shelf.

Run!

Here! It's ready.

Be careful.

-Aunty! Thank you so much! -For what?

Because you convinced my Dad.

Revathy! They're calling you to take the photos.

I'll be back in a jiffy. Got a lot to share.

We will talk!

It was supposed to happen that way, though!

For how long you made Dad chase you to give him a "Yes"?!

Get lost, you!

My poor Dad!

-Hello! -Hey!

My colleague George has come.

I need to serve him some tea. What should I do?

Who's this George?

The guy who was with me at the Health Department...

-Oh! -It's my wife, Prabha.

-And? -He stopped here while he was passing by.

Wait, man! I'll give you.

He's asking for tea. What should I do? He's thirsty.

Then, hand the phone over to George.

Come on, quick!

Isn't he sitting there, thirsty?!

Hello!

Hello!

Let's do one thing. Let's not serve George tea!

Are you happy now?!

Hey! I've not taken the key with me.

Don't climb the stairs with that broken leg!

come down!

Who the hell is that?!

Sir, isn't teacher here?

-What's it? -This is Pathu's birthday payasam.

It won't be as tasty as you guys make it.

Oh, it's vermicelli, isn't it?

Yeah! How did you know?

She's busy with something in the kitchen. Give it to me.

It's okay. I'll wait till Teacher comes.

It might take a while for she to come. Give it to me.

Hi, Suhara!

Hello, Prabha Teacher... Where are you?

Is that so?

I'll come back later, then.

Might be some shitty payasam! The hell with that!

-So, where did we stop? -EM-POSITION...

Oh-no, it's not EMPOSITION... It's IMPOSITION.

-Okay... -IM-POSITION.

Sir... here...

We got these from the yard. We took some. You keep this inside.

-Oh, this wasn't necessary... -Okay, Sir.

Sir, you are diabetic, right?

Prabha Teacher did warn us not to give you mangoes if we get any from the yard.

-She forgot that and brought this to you. -Sorry, Sir.
