What happened to you?

I was a bit tensed

Next one

What is there to be tensed?

I brought the wedding chain?

Hey, wait for it to get outside

He is like that

Take these cards

Go take it

Take your card

OK, sir. We're leaving

OK, alright

Wait, don't go.

- We have to take photos. - Chandu

- Hey, take us a photo. - It should have both of us.

Stay close to her. Why are you shy?

Smile, man, smile

This is enough

Look here

Look at each other and smile

Smile please

Smile, buddy

Are we visible?

Move to the side

Turn around

Stay close

Now, look at the camera

It's enough

Don't we need a good one?

Or do one thing...

Look up and smile

What is this?

Look there and smile.

- Smile - Do we need that?

Hey, look up and smile, man.

Like in those old films

It's enough, man

- Now, let's take a selfie - Yeah, come, come

Anita, come near me

Hey!

A soda, please

Soda?

The TV and fridge are running day and night.

No wonder electricity bills are so high.

Just shut up and watch the game, Kumaran.

What kind of game is this? The old times were better.

Why are you speaking like an old man?

Oh, you're a young one?!

Yes, I am. Do I look old to you?

Maybe some 30-35.

Who told you that you're young?

Dad

What's the score?

Hey, did you buy milk for home?

Here it is

Go and give it there

I want to watch the game

If you don't deliver milk to our home already, your mom won't let us in.

Hurry! The game is not going anywhere.

Come here, come

What?

OK then, young man

OK then, young man

Young man?

Just come with me.

I've brought something for you at home.

What's that?

Here you go, son. Have this tender coconut water.

- Girija! - Yeah?

Come. Have some tender coconut water.

Drink it

- Hey - Yeah?

Govindan has given me the money he owes you.

Do you need it?

Or can I pay the electricity bill with it?

Give me 200 Rupees from it.

I owe it to Ramakrishnan.

You can do anything you want with the rest.

Hmm...

Hey, put that phone away and eat something.

Mom, look at this.

He thinks he's a superstar with the costume

As if he's in some movie.

Where? Let me see.

Who sent this?

Brother-in-law

Take a look

It's gone

Buy something for them when you go there

Why aren't you coming?

Aren't you his uncle?

He hasn't seen you since he was a child.

He will ask who you are once he gets older.

When you go to the workshop tomorrow, repair my machete.

It is damaged.

Why didn't you tell me before?

Remove this wooden handle and fix something out of steel or aluminium.

OK. Just remind me before I leave tomorrow.

OK.

What about the cost?

Why do you need money to repair my machete?

What is this?

That's not my shop. It needs money.

Oh? I will give you money!

Hello, Chandu

Yeah?

My id card is missing.

Missing?

Yeah, it is. It's not here anywhere.

Is it with you?

I don't have it.

I called Anita. It's not with her either.

It might be there somewhere. Look once again.

No, it's not.

I think I forgot to take it from the register office.

Are you sure you don't have it?

No, it's not with me.

Can you ask there when you pass by?

Sure, I'll do that.

When are you leaving tomorrow?

Dear, come have food.

I'll call you later.

Did you deliver the rest of the coconuts to the hotel?

No.

Why? What were you doing instead?

You don't want to follow anything I say and spend time doing nothing.

Dad, relax.

You're not the one who is sending money to his mother every month.

Isn't that his hotel too?

My brother and I started the hotel after struggling. How is it his?

- Hey! - Hey!

Did you leave early?

Yeah

I'm leaving, buddy.

OK, see you.

We have to return the car in the evening.

OK.

Padma...

Please give me some water.

So, what's after marriage?

Planning a honeymoon?

Honeymoon? We're just going to the riverbank.

Where? Hey, man, change the place.

Aren't you always taking her to that place?

Just tell him I said so.

OK, alright.

I don't think my things will work out.

There is no use in building a house.

Marriage isn't a big deal.

Oh, then why are you two married?

You guys can do anything you want.

And, do you have the number of that girl who came to the register office?

Keep quite.

Can you lend me hundred rupees?

Take it from there.

Let's go.

Return before evening, OK?

Alright.

He's been beating that metal since morning.

Is he?

Don't you have any money?

Didn't get paid for work.

I had money with me.

Then why did you ask your friend?

That....you keep it.

You'll need it.

Why is that?

My friend said we would have a lot of expenses as we're married now.

He's crazy.

How can there be more expenses if we live together?

We wouldn't need to take hotel rooms.

We can cut that cost.

You're right.

And with 10,000 rupees, we'll be alright.

Oh, you've planned this much!

We need planning, don't we?

Yeah, that's true.

And we need to settle some things

What things?

We need an apartment.

Then, a pet dog.

We have to invite everyone for the housewarming.

I will give you a kiss at that function.

It'll be great.

For that, don't you have to tell your family first?

Yeah, I have to.

How're you planning to tell this your parents?

What plan?

Stop joking.

This isn't what you said before marriage.

I'm afraid.

Don't you know how my dad reacts?

It'll be a big problem.

Then, we can do one thing. We should elope.

Then after a long time, you'll be sad that you haven't told your dad about this.

I will ask.

My parents are trying to find a guy for me to marry.

Aren't your parents OK with this?

- Hey! - Yeah?

Why aren't you saying something?

No...nothing

Stop it, Chandu. Tell me...

It's my brother's death anniversary next week.

Do you miss your brother?

No.

It doesn't even feel that he's dead.

It's like he's still home.

Don't be sad. Everything will be alright.

I've to tell dad after the death anniversary.

About what? Our marriage?

Yeah. Everyone has to know.

OK.

Indeed you can tell my parents

I will.

Shouldn't I?

Padma, are you coming?

- Yeah, I'm coming. - See you.

See you, then.

Bye.

Here you go.

Give 5000 to Vijayan tomorrow.

Buy some vegetables with the rest.

This amount won't cover Vijayan and the vegetables.

Moreover, The money we owe him day before yesterday have to be paid today.

I told him I'll give it next week.

In that case, tell him directly.

I'll take care of it. You should go and bring the stuffs.

OK.

The vehicle needs fuel.

Here you go.

Is this enough?

500 will be enough.

- Have you washed the dishes? - Yeah.

I've asked for some money for the death anniversary.

Oh...how much did you ask?

5000 rupees.

How long it has been?

It's the second year.

Here you go.

I won't be coming for the next two days.

Why can't you come tomorrow?

No, I need to stay home tomorrow.

Alright.

Won't you two come for the anniversary?

No, we can't.

Oh, OK.

Here, 2000 for the arrangements and vegetables.

This is for the bottle.

I've already given 200 for the arrangements.

- Just need to give the rest. - OK.

What do you want?

Anything for me.

Can buy it with the rest of the money.

- It's the money borrowed. - I still doubt if it's enough.

What is it, sister?

Padma, she is calling. Ask her what it is.

OK.

What is it, aunt?

Where is Vishnu?

Vishnu?

- Are you asking where Vishnu is? - Yes

He has gone to the field.

He will return soon.

You...

What?

Father?

Is he fine?

Yes, he is.

- Mom... - Vishnu has arrived.

Where have you been?

I was nearby. Take these mangoes with you, mom.

Give it to grandma.

Grandma asked if you're fine.

Yeah. Tell her that I'm doing great with my uncle here.

Tell her everyone's fine here.

- I will be right back. - OK.

Hey, sister is here.

She want to pledge the vehicle.

Which vehicle?

The vehicle at the hotel.

What is the need to pledge now?

They said they need money for house maintenance.

Didn't I tell her that I'll give the money for that?

Isn't that next month?

She said she needs it right now.

Just stop this and give me something to eat.

I'll take care of this.

Uncle!

Uncle!

Uncle!

)

)

)

I feel depressed when I see that post even now.

It reminds me of his departure.

Kumaran mentions Kannan once in a while.

Those in mind don't leave easily.

It'll stay there for eternity.

- Hey Chandu. - Yeah. Tell me.

One of the dogs that came to eat the leftovers was staring at me for a long time.

You know, I think it's your brother.

One of its legs is broken.

- We should do one thing. - Yeah.

Tomorrow, we should buy a beef fry and place it in front of it.

If it's your brother, it'll eat it completely.

Dad

I'm in a relationship.

Relationship? You?

It's a bit serious.

We're planning to marry.

I'm thinking of bringing her here tomorrow or the day after.

Who's the girl?

I'll bring her here. You can meet her then.

Not tomorrow. Bring her the day after tomorrow.

Let these busy activities be over.

Alright.

- Water? - Yeah.

Enough.

Padma, let's go.

Just a minute.

Here are the documents of the commission.

Oh, yes.

I need to go early.

Why?

Some urgent shopping.

Ok, then.

Padma, how is this?

What's this?

Can you show us the saucer set?

Padma!

One minute, I'm coming.

Pack this, please.

We have bought some meat.

Hey!

Yeah?

Here it is.

Why are you being so eager, man?

No, I'm not.

Anyhow, he has grown so much.

He is 25.

I was only 20 when I married you.

I was also young at that time.

Hey...

Yeah?

Do you remember when your dad beat us up when we were sitting at the field?

Although I don't remember that, I can recall our marriage after that week.

Stop laughing and wear a shirt.

Or else that girl will be shocked to see your athletic body.

You're right.

Turn around.

Isn't my hair alright?

Why didn't you wear the bindi properly?

Have anything you want, dear.

Hey, serve her, boy.

It's ok. I'll take it myself.

The dish is great.

We both made it together.

Do you like these items?

I eat everything after being with Chandu.

You haven't said anything about us.

What is there to say?

Just say what you think about us.

This won't work out, boy.

Why did you say that, mom?

Don't you know, dear? We are servants of your house.

You won't be able to adjust to our facilities here.

That's what I'm saying

I was about to talk about this at my home.

They'll understand.

It's not that simple, dear.

We haven't gotten over the death of our elder son.

We only have him at the moment.

We don't want this, dear. This won't work out.

You don't know anything about me.

But I know everything about you.

The time you wake up, what medicines he's taking, the problems you're going through.

I know everything.

Don't tell me to leave Chandu. I can't do that.

See you.

Hey brother, you should drop her off today.

- See you. - Ok, go on then.

Dad!

Will this be over soon?

Or I'll return after buying the stuff.

It'll be over now.

We can go together.

Hello, where are you?

Padma!

What happened?

Chandu!

Please don't cry. Tell me what it is.

My parents learned about our marriage.

It's alright. We can think of a solution.

Somehow dad got my ID card.

Calm down, please.

What do we do now?

I will talk to him.

Hey, you!

You bloody rascal!

How dare you do this to my family?

Dad, don't beat him!

Don't hurt him, dad!

You bloody...

You dog, bloody scum

Move aside!

Stop! Don't beat me.

How could you do this to my family?

You move aside.

I will handle your dad too

You son of a bitch

Don't beat me

You're worthless to be in the family

Dad, stop it!

I will kill your father too.

Bitch, you have ruined the name of our family

Come, dear

Come

Hey, come

It's not safe to stay here at the moment

It's better to go somewhere else

I told Kumaran about this.

You should go away with her now.

The bus will be leaving at any moment.

- Will it leave soon? - No.

- Is it that bus? - Yeah.

It's an ordinary bus. It will take time to reach.

- See you. - The bus will leave after a while.

It's ok. We'll stay here till then.

- See you! - Ok. Get in.

Come here.

You don't have to work here anymore.

Leave.

Where are you going?

No need to take anything. Just leave.

And return the 5000 you owe me by evening today.

Hello

Tell, aunt

No, I'm outside

Hasn't he arrived yet?

Maybe at the hotel. Let me check.

Ok, then.

Uncle, why didn't you go home?

Aunt called.

I saw her call.

Sit down.

She'd call.

But I don't feel like going home.

I'm not feeling well.

Let's have tea.

You sit down. I'll make it.

You already know about this relationship, right?

When will you return?

It's the festival at the settlement. Will return after that.

That's better.

It's been 2-3 months since I've seen the kids.

So, I thought of staying with them for a while.

Yeah, that's good.

The bus will leave soon. Come.

- See you, then - Bye

He is really sad that you're not talking to him.

I want to.

Let the festival be over.

I bought something like this at home.

Son, give that.

How can I not talk to dad without drinking it together?

Mani and others are also there.

Why are you standing here? Not coming to the festival?

I'll come. I'm waiting for someone.

- Girija - Yeah

Watch the path There are leeches

Right

See

Hey, Vishnu

Do you know how much I love my daughter?

I won't be able to do anything to her

My mind won't let me

Therefore, you have to go to her

Vishnu

Won't you go?

Hey, Vishnu!

- How did you come? - By bus

- How're you? - Yeah

- Did you come to the festival? - Yeah

Sit down

- Did Chandu call you? - No

Let me get ready Be right back

Did you see Chandu?

No

Padma, can you give me some water?

Yeah

Why are you panting if you've come by bus?

Sit for 5 minutes. We can go to the temple together.

Do you know Udayan? Cousin of Chandu?

He is the one performing at the temple.

Chandu's parents have left early.

Chandu and Manikantan are there all the time.

Why didn't you come early? There was food at the temple.

There were also sweets as well.

It was wonderful-

Vishnu!

Save him!

Help! Help!

Son!

Son!

Put down the fire!

Son! My son!

Put down the fire!

Come! Come!

My son!

Chandu! Save him!

Son!...

Dear, come. Let's have food.

They killed my son.

I told you all not to do this.

Now see what happened.

- Where is my son? - Girija, keep quiet.

Let her have food.

my son!

Take this.

See you soon

Keep this

Daughter...case

What?

Did your daughter file a lawsuit?

Daughter?

Next week it's hearing at the court.

Hearing...next week.

My son...

What?

My son...why did he go?

What?

Why did my son go?

I have no idea why he had gone.

It's getting dark. Leave now.

- Go now... - My son died

Don't be sad, dear

She said that out of grief

I'm alright. I won't leave here whatever she says.

You don't have to go. Stay here.

We have to make him pay for this.

Please don't think of it.

We only have you now.

I'm thinking of proceeding with the case.

We don't have any evidence for that.

There will be a way.

Right, there will be a way.

Have some tea.

Padma, drink the tea.

It's been a long time since we've been behind this.

The court is like this, Padma

Mom isn't talking to me nowadays

Don't be sad. It'll be alright.

Can't we file an appeal?

Yes, but we need new evidences.

As Vishnu is dead, all proofs leading to him are at a dead end.

So, there is nothing that can be done.

Can't we appeal if we have more evidence?

We can appeal, Padma.

But what evidence can we get that we don't already have?

Come

Padma...

- How much does it weigh? - 16 grams

- What amount do you want to take? - Fouty thousand

The lord is welcomed to the house and treated well.

Kuchelan's mind wasn't allowing him to ask anything.

Everyone forgot everything when they saw the god.

They were thinking about nothing but the god.

Krishna didn't ask about the starvation or any other news about the house.

Mom

Mom

Are you alright?

Yeah

Why can't you come home? Please come.

No, mom. I don't feel like it.

I will talk to your dad.

It's not that. I want to talk about something.

What is that?

I'm thinking about appealing the case.

No, dear. Please stop this.

I haven't felt ok after that.

Everyone's feeling the same.

The lawyer has said that the case can be won with more evidence.

I know dad had done all these.

You know that too.

I'm scared, dead.

Mom, will you stand as a witness against dad?

How can I?

Don't we need to stop this?

It can only be stopped like this.

Will you testify against him in court?

Mom

I'm filing for an appeal at the court

My mom promised to stand as a witness for me

He will certainly be ambushed this time

Where is dad?

Please tell him

What happened? Isn't everything correct?

It's not getting right no matter how much I look

It'll be alright. Come.

Padma, enough! Try to leave now.

Nothing new will happen if you go through documents over and over again.

Will we win if mom comes to testify?

Of course, we will win if she stands as a witness.

You go home now.

It'll be alright. I've told you about it...

Nothing...no...

Yeah...tomorrow...

We're late...

I'll cut you open!

- Go away from me now! - What are you doing?

Stay away!

I'll kill you!

Calm down! Please!

Stay away! I'll kill you!

- Drop the knife! - Let go of me!

What happened?

- Where is Kumaran? - Don't know!

Let her breath Give space

Give her some water Let her relax.

Bring some water

Bring some water

Slowly

- Here - I don't need it

Take it back

You have to bring my scooter, brother

Do you need it immediately?

I'll take it later

No, I need it now

I'll go and check

We need to call that lawyer

Padma! Padma!

We searched everywhere. Didn't lead anywhere.

How about we file a complaint to the police?

Padma, the lawyer is calling

Yes, please tell

Why?

Ok, then I'm not calling.

I'll come there

The lawyer says not to file the case

Why?

He said he'll tell me once I meet him now

In that case, Nelson will drop you there

I will take you there

It's ok. I will go with Anita.

No need to be worried.

Relax and just go there after having food.

OK

There is no issue at the moment

Try to convince her calmly

If Padma agrees, I'll take care of the rest

Ok

Can you sit here?

What did he say?

You should listen to me carefully.

What is it?

- There is a problem - What?

Kumaran had attacked your dad.

No need to worry

He is alright. He is at home now.

There is another issue.

They got the machete that Kumaran used to attack him.

Their lawyer had called ours about this.

They said they will file a murder attempt case against Kumaran.

If we don't proceed with the appeal, they will-

No way!

We have no other way, Padma

They said they have evidences

Kumaran might be jailed

Their lawyer said that if we discuss a compromise...

Just think about it...

We don't have any other way, Padma. What can we do?

Padma!

Padma!

What happened?

Hello!

This is Padma

I'm not withdrawing the case

We have to proceed with the appeal

No, I'm sure about this

Why are you putting too much rice?

It's my way, dear.

I don't like anyone being hungry.

Chandu was also like that.

He'll keep more whenever he buys or makes something.

He says he saves it for others.

Isn't he my son

Yeah

Your son and my husband.

My life was with Chandu.

Eat whatever I want. Go anywhere I like.

When we were living at the tribal settlement,

he used to talk about you both and feel sad.

Used to tell me how you've lived.

For him, you both were his dear parents.

Before his death, he told me that his brother came in his dream.

That he come bathing from the pond.

Then Chandu said, "Padma, look at me. My hands are wet."

His brother had hugged him.

I laughed after hearing this.

Then he said that it was calm with his brother and he asked to go with him.

I desperately want to hug him, at least in my dream.

Contract signed between Govindan Nair s/o Padmanabhan Nair of Vadakkepattil House

and Padma G Nair w/o late Chandu of Apollo colony.

Padma G Nair assures that there will be neither a review petition

nor appeal filed against the verdict of the sessions court regarding the Chandu murder case

and will do nothing to defame or injure Govindan Nair.

Isn't this ok?

- Let me see. - Here you go.

- Can it be signed? - Yeah

Sign it

Now, Padma's signature

Padma

Here are Chandu's case files

Hand it over

So everything until now is ok?

Ok

You can call me if you have any doubts

- Sure - Have my number?

Yeah...yeah

Can call me anytime you want

Ok, alright

If this it, can we leave now?

Yeah

No...no...just tell him

What more to be said? They left!
