(Old Tamil song plays on bus)

The glass-like moon

Dances before me

Feels like sparklers bursting in my mind

College days come fluttering...

...before my eyes

And my hands and feet feel like I am intoxicated

When I see flowers in bloom

Its like my heart is dancing

And the fragrance of the blooms

Feels like a medley of sandalwood within

When the angels approach

The clouds flow like rivers

The paintings of the Gods

Turn into our paths here

The glass-like moon

Dances before me

Feels like sparklers bursting in my mind

- Hey! It's your Dad! - What? - Your Dad!

Hey! Move!

- Open! - Huh?

- I don't want it, son... you have it! - It's not for you!

- It's for my little sister - So you have decided it's a girl?

I wish it would be a girl, Mom

- Ok then... here goes! - Here you go!

I guess Dad will love this one, right Mom...?

Since this is his own...?

Here comes Dad

- What was he saying? - That he would like the baby to be a girl

So you would like it to be a girl?

She will grow and study and need to be married off someday

Do you have the money for all that?

Eat whatever's given to you and get lost!

Cursed creature!

Why do I bother talking to you?

God didn't hear my prayers anyway

My darling, to me...

...you are the celebration within me

And here you are, feeding me...

...with your silent love

When a waterlily offers its smile

All pain disappears

And upon the words you utter, tender...

...my heart takes flight

Come along with me and sing

Hey! You are getting a little baby!

Your mother's being taken to hospital. Go quick!

- Don't cry, my love, don't cry! - What's the point in crying like this?

- Stop crying! - How will we give treatment if you do this - Let the doctor take a look

-It will be ok - Let the doctor take a look

- Blood...there is blood all over her... - It'll be ok...don't cry, dear...

- She is all I have! - Be brave!

Tell the doctor to save her...

Tell the doctor to save her...if you say, they will listen

You...you are my friend...

Tell them to take care of her...see, they are taking her away!

They are taking her away!

They are taking her in...see....

Look...look...

Oh no! Oh no! She's gone?

No! No, stop! Listen to me!

Don't! Come on!

It's a girl...here...hold her

Take good care of her

Good baby! Don't cry! Don't cry!

Don't cry! Look here! Look at me!

Hey! Didn't I tell you? What are you doing?

- Put it to sleep! - Don't cry! Don't cry!

- Can't I get some peace around here? - Don't cry...don't cry...

What a nuisance!

Drink, baby!

Go on! Drink! It's milk!

Drink, little one! Drink!

Don't cry, little one!

(Humming a lullaby)

Don't cry, alright? Sweet little thing!

Peeli!

Honey!

(reciting lesson from book)

Stop...stop...

- I'll be back tomorrow, ok? - Ok

What, old woman? Done teaching for the day?

Just you wait! I'll show you who I am someday

- I'll see you in the morning - Hey! Hey hey hey!

Come here! Come on and sit down

- What is it? - Where are you going?

- Have dinner before you go. Do you like fish curry? - Yes

Sit, sit... hey you!

Where are you going?

Peeli, my child... come!

It's your Dad calling... come to me!

Are you going to be a Doctor with all this studying?

Then what are you studying for?

What's all this, man?

Come, child... go on inside

Don't be scared, ok? Take her inside, son

- Hey, hey! - I'll see you in the morning

But...hey! You're my friend, aren't you? Why are you leaving me?

Hey! Who's there?

(Drunken mumbling)

Peeli, honey...

Peeli...!

- (muffled) Etta*! -Huh! (*Big brother)

Hey! Leave her!

Let her go! Brother, let her go!

- Peeli! Honey! - Go away, boy!

Hey! What's all this noise?

Can't a man sleep in peace?

- That man... our Peeli...! - Hey!

Get lost! He is my friend!

- It's just my friend - But he... our Peeli... - Get out!

- Dad! - Shh!

I'll kill you! Get out!

I'll cut you to bits! Get lost!

He gives whatever I ask for. So shouldn't I give him what he asks?

Isn't that what friends do? Huh?

Stay still, girl!

Gopal...

Oh no! What happened?

You may call the bride

Now you may call the groom

- Where did he go? - He was standing right there - Hey!

- Where's he? - I don't know

- What? Isn't there a groom? - Make way, please!

- Was he here at all? - Make way...move aside, please!

- Has the groom arrived? - Who's to arrive?

There's no one left to arrive. Start the ceremony, Father

- Hey, Joy! - Yes? - Where is this bride's groom?

He isn't here? He was right here!

Don't worry! He will come soon

Father... give me a minute, please... Move, move!

He'll be right here, ok?

Is the room on fire? Huh?

Haven't you had enough of posing in the dark in that suit?

- You! - Huh?

What is it?

Stop your play-acting! There's big trouble going on out there

So? Does that mean I cannot get dressed?

Stop getting angry! Just laugh a bit!

Good Lord!

It's so long since I saw you so well-dressed and smiling!

- Come downstairs! Come on! - That I will

- Is George Sir ready yet? - Not a chance!

He is going crazy because he can't get the knot right

So I poured him a couple of pegs

- Oh no! - Now I am just worried he will tie the bridal pendant on the Priest's neck

But how on earth did he find a bride at this age?

And here I've been trying for ages to find a bride and no luck!

For that, you need to have more than comedy in your blood

You need the look too... how do I look? Huh?

You're just going to serve food, right? You look great for that!

Fool!

- Come - Who do you think you are? A movie star?

- Sir.. - Huh? - Stay at a gap from the Priest

If he smells alcohol, he will throw you and your bride out of the Church

To smell him, the Priest would need a ladder!

- The Priest is so short! - Look who is talking!

- Please... move aside - There he is! - Move, move

Come here!

- Go on, Sir! - Come here!

Go!

- Glory be to Jesus Christ - So be it! So be it!

Oh no! The Priest is standing on the steps! It's smelling of trouble!

Could you... please...?

Ok...ok...

Come!

- Come on - The Priest let them in - Thank God!

- Hey Ronnie! Come on! This will go on without us - Come!

- Come - Listen... last week, during an event here...

...some college kids gatecrashed and ate up all the food

Keep an eye out for them! If there is no food at the reception, they will eat me up!

Ladies and Gentlemen! Here they are - the King and Queen of the day...

...George Thomas and Susan!

They are going to start their life together by sharing a piece of cake

Give a big round of applause...

...and let them have your blessings for this big moment!

You will fall off the bed and break your back on your wedding night...

Just wait and watch! (guests talk in background)

Don't be so depressed! The girl we are going to meet in Njarakkal...

- ...is going to be The One for you - I hope so

Chicken fry...

- Chicken fry... - A minute, please... could you give me some plain rice?

- That's at the opposite counter, Madam - Is it?

- And vegetable curry? - That too

- There? He says it's over there. Let's go - ok

- Chicken alert! - What? - Give some chicken there!

Oh yes! Chicken fry!

- Want some chocolate? - No. You can have it

I really like chocolates

- Then eat! - ok!

- Here! Have a drink! - ok

- Want this? - No... please drink... go ahead! - Ok

- Time for a refill? - I'll let you know - Ok. - And don't leave!

Come here

- What's it, Sir? - Ronnie, sit here for a few minutes!

- I need to have a drink - Ok. Wait! What?

Where are you off to? You can't drink now! You can drink later!

- Sit there, Sir! Come on! - But... Ronnie?

Look here! Try a bit of this!

- I don't want to - Try it! Go on!

- Huh? - It's vodka!

This won't leave a smell!

How much do these girls eat? This is the 4th plate!

Give me some more chicken! Isn't this meant to be served?

Put two more pieces in here

And in this one too... get all you need, ok?

- What the hell! - What are you looking at? Serve!

One for me too

My dear Sally! He calls me all the time from America

But I can't just drop everything here and go to him

- Of course not! - What about the acres and acres of Rubber trees?

And I get so tired just keeping track of the yield!

- I bet! - Hello Madam! - Hello!

- How was the food? - It was good - Come on!

Any suggestions?

If you ask me... I feel the ice cream need not be so cold

Oh! Very good suggestion!

You should try our special raspberry ice cream

We serve it only to special guests! I am sure you'll like it

Oh! Then you need to give me one!

Of course! That... must be your daughter

She looks just like you

(girls talking in background) Really? Does she?

- She looks like me, doesn't she? - Yes! - But she is not from our side

- The she must be related to the groom - The groom? You mean that old man?

He has no family. And one relative that he has, was not invited

- Alright then - My ice cream?

We've put it in the sun to warm. I'll send one to you soon

- How was the food? - It was a nice... disaster!

- Oh! - Is that why you were stuffing yourelf?

- Huh? What the f...? - No, no no no!

Don't underestimate the catering people, ok?

- What? Fruit salad with ice cream? - That's the way to have it! - You...!

Why don't you speak? Got a bone of mutton stuck in your throat?

Did you take us for fools?

I may have the looks... but at heart I am damn cheap

I got that

- Look at her! I feel like giving her one... - Hey! Hey! Hey!

- What's the problem? - The college had a holiday today

Was this your dad's second wedding that you could just eat to your heart's content?

- Yes, it was. - That's what I...wait...what?

- What? - It was my Dad's second wedding

- Oh no! - This is George Sir's daughter

Say you are sorry!

Can I get you a fruit salad with ice cream, Madam?

Does that sound like sorry?

Sorry, my child... he didn't know who you were!

- You can have whatever you want - Yes

A chair for you?

Hope you won't... tell your Dad!

I think the AC's not working

- Are you guys trying to ruin me? - What's left to ruin?

There comes a bus!

- What are you up to, buddy? - Nothing at all, buddy!

Nothing? Then who are these? Your daddy and mummy?

They are here to see Fort Kochi

- Oh! - I was just helping...

No help needed, ok? Things will get dark for you if you do it again

- Now scoot! - Do you even have a license?

I truly, don't!

How many times have you been warned not to do this without a license?

- Don't touch me! - And what will you do if we do?

Beat him up! Come on!

You dare head out in your vehicle again...

- ...we will kill you! - Fight me one on one! Come on!

Those were Chanchi's boys... they have been like this for a while now

Like everyone here has a licence to be tourist guides!

Why do they do this only when they see our vehicle?

Don't get worked up about it... those are druggies just looking for trouble

- Why did you head out with the vehicle anyway? - That...(mumbling)...

- What? - (mumbling) - Just eat

I asked him to go. Sabu is on leave for his Dad's surgery

I figured the vehicle is just lying idle

So why not get what we can with it?

Now you see what you can get!

If they had broken the car glass as well...

...things would have been even better!

Does it hurt? (Burps)

Chewing this biryani has helped me get over the pain on this side

Some more would help with the pain on the other side

Could I have one more? Mutton or chicken - either will do

Josekutty - get him one more biryani

- Hmmm - Go get it!

She's been making good progress of late

For a change to happen this soon...

...it has to be God's Grace

- Have some more of this, child.. - No

Just a little more... don't make me mad!

What's wrong, Grandma?

She refuses to take the medicine

How would she when you are giving it?

- Alright, then why don't you do it? - I will...give it here!

Move... sweetheart...

- Be a good girl and have this! - I don't want to, Icha* (*Big Brother)

Don't say that! Do it for Icha!

You know what the Doctor just said?

That if you take your medicines like a good girl...

...in just a few days...

...we'll be able to go home!

There! Lie down!

The Policemen were here again today

They asked her some questions and left

Hey! What is it?

Who are you looking for, huh?

What is it? There's no one here!

What are you looking for? There's no one here

- Oh no! - No! Don't! Please!

Please!

- I am sorry! - You...!

Please!

Don't!

Sorry!

Please forgive me!

This is the first time I have done something like this

And it will be the last...I...

...will do anything you ask...

Please forgive me!

Get up and leave!

We can ask for maybe 25, right?

Next month is his daughter's wedding

Then let us make it 50

We, as humans are today erasing the experiences of the past

The future is all about hope

- He knows so much stuff, doesn't he? - Ya...

- That's the good thing about being rich - Hmm

Rich people are all educated and well-read

They know everything about everything

And have high standards too

We are just...useless

Now look at that one! Who does he think he is?

You'd think he is the next speaker

- Hey! All ready? - Of course!

You could've come when it was all over

It took a while for me to get this ironed

- Who do you think you are? James Bond? - Evening drink's on me!

- Ok then. - Ronnie? - Yes? - Everything's ready?

Of course, Sir! I came in early to see that all was set

- Very good! And also... - Yes?

After the guest speeches is the thanksgiving speech

After that is the musical programme

Start serving food as soon as it starts

- But what about the musical programme? - That will carry on

What is important to us is not that - it is this!

- Correct! - And also, please serve some finger food in the room above

- OK? - Ok

- Could you... - Yes? - ...serve the finger food? - Try again?

- I mean... I will take it - Ok

This is what these rich men do

They'll be eating their chicken and mutton before the poor singers

Not a thought for the poor starving singers!

Imagine them going into a high note...

...and their mouths will water and the water goes into their heads...

...and then they die! Think about it!

- The food's good! - Please have some more, Madam

- The ladies have good appetites! - Hello! Please stop!

Do I need a Minister's recommendation to eat this food?

That day...in Church...we made a mistake because we didn't know who you were

Yes...looking at George Sir, you wouldn't say he has such a beautiful daughter

- Yes, yes! - You look really great! - Don't overdo it!

Please don't make an issue of what happened that day

He is someone who regularly gives us business

- Yes - Hmm...let me think about it

- Ok - Would you have 5000 Rupees on you?

- What? - Do you have 5000 rupees?

I...don't really...

Would you...?

He left

I don't have...so much cash on me

Got a mobile?

- This is just a...China-make...not worth much... - Give it to me

Here...this is my number...call me when you have the cash

We can think about your business contracts then, ok?

Next item...our President and his wife will perform...

...an awesome action song!

That will be worth a laugh! Come on!

I bet it's funny! Come on!

Everyone's...shall I...?

May I...leave?

- Go on - Ok

(sings) Snakes have their holes...

...the birds have the sky...

Only the son of Man has...

...no place on Earth to lay his head...

...no place on Earth to lay his head...

Disgusting!

God had none left...or he would have given them some

- What? - Shame!

And now I have lost all respect for rich people!

(on Tv) ' I ask you friends...'

'...what became of Punnapra-Vayalar...'

'...what of the green carpets spread over the hills...'

(Song playing on TV)

The actress Malayalis lovingly called 'big sister' for the first time ever

My own dear Sunny Chechi* (*Big Sister)

- Hey! Where is Munna? - They've all gone for a late night movie

Oh no! We had a guest coming in at night

He needs to be picked up and taken to his room

Sabu used to be his regular driver

What can we do now? All our other cars are out on runs

- Listen! - Yes? - Why didn't you go for the movie, my dear?

I wasn't feeling too good

Could you go and pick him up, my dear?

It will be more satisfying than this. What do you say?

I should have guessed from all that love

I am not going out just to get beaten up on the road

- Huh? - Besides, look at Chechi here

Those guys won't be around at night. They will be knocked out of their senses by then

- I can't! - But it is nothing, my dear!

You pick him up and drop him to his hotel room

Just a half hour's work! That's all!

He's a regular guest...if we lose him, then he'll be gone forever

- Please go, my dear! - But... - Please just go!

- Ouch! My hand! - Please...just this once...

- Ok - Ok? - Yes, ok

- Chandy? - No

- Chandy? - Who Chandy?

- Brother? - Yes? - This is the last bus from Munnar? - Yes

What fool's task has Joychayan sent me on in the middle of the night?

What's this place? Are we at Vagamon?

Not there! I am over here!

Can't you hear me?

But that is the top of the bus

- Ernakulam? - Yes - Why have you brought me here?

I didn't bring you here....are you Mr. Chandy?

- Go and get the fire force - Ok

- Wait! Why? - Why? How do I get down?

- I'll come up - But how will you climb up here?

- Usually it is this way - There's a way to climb?

- Your bag... - Here...take it

Give that here

Wait! You should be really careful!

Very careful! There are breakable objects in there

- Which of these bags has them? - Which one? Hmm...

Give it here! Let me see

Huh! The bag!

- Did you hear anything break? - No - You didn't, right?

Then it must be this one!

Now get down

Get down! Careful! I am right behind you

- Want me to help? - No! No help

How on earth did you...

...climb up there?

That's what I was thinking too...

I...am...Ronnie...I was the one who just helped you down

To someone as drunk as me...

...you shouldn't ask quesions like...

...when, where and how

Sorry sir...I won't ask now on

You are Mr. Chandy, aren't you?

- I already told you I am - You are..yes, you are!

I need a place to stay

- That is fully arranged for you! - Where?

- With complimentary full-jar soda! - Thank you!

Do you usually travel on the roof of the bus?

Oh no...I went up to get my bags

I fell asleep there

- What is it, Sir? - What?

- Huh? - Oh...yes...

- One minute - Need help? - No

I can help myself

Be right back!

I am ok...ok...

- Shall we go? - Wait...wait!

It's the water in the body that goes out as urine

So we should always replace it as soon as we lose it

- Got it? - I see - Or else we will end up losing our liver

You drink?

Not regularly...

Then don't!

Pour!

Enough!...Hold it!

Hey you!

What's this?

You...you!

Who are they?

Hey! What are you upto?

Don't you guys ever understand?

That...it's...

- I can solve it for you - Sir!

- Don't! They are real trashy guys - It's ok

The Lord Jesus said we should love our neighbours like ourselves

So let's give some love and get some back

- But...sir... - Wait...

No! Don't...what's he up to?

This is not like you think

Just watch me

What's it, son?

What's your problem?

Oh no!

- Got all the love you wanted? - Yes

- Yes...nice and strong! - Alright. Then wait in the car

Nice trick the Lord played on me!

If you ever dare to drive out in this vehicle again...

...we'll burn both the car and you!

- Sir? - Yes? - Who was it who said, if they don't follow your path...

...chase them down their own path and beat the hell out of them?

Who said that?

Lucifer!

You go around at night..

...looking for stuff to burn?

Come on! Hey! Come on! Get the bikes!

Dont just leave! How will he burn all this on his own?

Go! Go!

If I said I'd burn you, I mean I will burn you!

Move!

Come on, guys!

Guys! He beat me up!

Hold on! Hold on a second!

It's been a while since I...

...got involved in this programme of beating up local goons

So I may be out of touch

Alright...now I remember

Come!

Finish him off!

Lord! That is awesome!

Look out, boys! It's the cops! Get away, quick!

Here come the cops! Let's see what you do now!

- Get the bikes! - Get on your bikes and go!

- Come on! Come on! - The Inspector was my classmate

- Sir, where are you going? - Vagamon is like my own hometown!

- But this is not Vagamon! - Watch!

Come on, Thomas! I have a full bottle on me! Let's finish it together!

Get in

No...no trouble

- I have talked to them - Sir! Sir - Stop it!

Ok, you can come over. I'll be here

- Sir! - Shut up! - Inky Pinky Ponky

Father had a donkey. Donkey died...

Father cried...Inky Pinky Ponky!

Turn it over! You have to turn!

- Ronnie! Come! It's more fun with three! - Thankappa! Come here

The Inspector wants to see you

When I am back, I'll teach you my favourite game

It's even more fun than this!

- Come - Why does the Inspector want to see me?

- He's bored of sitting there all alone - Really?

Oh no!

- Sir, sir! - What?

What is the Inspector like?

- What do you mean? - Will he accept a bribe?

- Will he? - That won't be easy

- Why so? - Last month someone tried to bribe him

He was just able to walk yesterday

- The Inspector broke his leg - Oh no!

- No! Please don't hit me! - Heard that?

- Do you want to try? - Not at all! We are happy here!

- It's quite comfortable here! - Good! - Sir! - What now?

- Are there mosquitos here? - A few

- If you want more, I can arrange for it - Funny! Funny!

You should try for one of those comedy shows on TV

- I should try, you think? - Please, no! We are quite alright here!

- Sir? - Ah yes, Joy!

I have talked to the Inspector. Just go in and meet him

- Joychan! - Huh? - Are you happy now?

- Let me go and talk to him - Sure

- Which of these is Chandy? - The fool on the floor

- Is he letting us go? - Don't want to go? Get him and come!

Ok!

Sir! Wake up! We can go!

- Are we at Vagamon? - Vagamon indeed! Come on! - Leaving?

I'm letting them out on your account

- Make sure there is no more trouble - Leave me alone!

Are we at the hotel?

- Tip all these guards Rs. 100 each - Oh God!

Happy, everyone?

- Sorry, sir! - Alright...and listen...

Make sure he is safe somewhere. He shouldn't get in any trouble

I will take care of him! Come here, you!

Listen...will you get him inside?

I was inside all this time! Isn't that enough?

- You can take him yourself! - But how do I...? - Don't speak anymore!

- Are you sure this is not the Chandy you were talking about? - Yes!

That fool cancelled his trip

- Who is this then? - Some other fool!

- And you couldn't call to tell me? - I tried calling you

- I forgot my phone at home - Is that my fault?

No! It was all my fault! I should have stayed back and watched Chechi dance

- What can we do now? - We have a room booked anyhow

You take him inside and take whatever he pays you

- I want nothing from him - Don't say that!

This was your inaugral ride. It will be bad luck to refuse!

You really want a fool's curse on you?

Do it...please!

- Sir? - Huh? - You! Sir! - What? What?

- Are we at Vagamon? - Yes!

- Wait, what? - Don't get worked up!

- I am losing it! - Finally, Vagamon!

- But this is not... - Ooh! So...cold!

- Sir! - Oh so cold...!

Cold!

Still sleeping?

Hey! Where is the bag you stole yesterday?

- In the fridge...heat it before you eat it - Ok

- Wait, what? - What did you ask?

- You asked about yesterday's fries, right? - No! The bag!

The bag you stole from the guest yesterday. Where is it?

Stole? Who?

Well, his bag is lost. And his valuables were in it

He has complained to the Police that you stole it

Joychayan has asked you to go down there

God! What a pest!

I swear I haven't taken it. He had three bags

And I put all three in his room before I left

Not three! There were four! You can take the money if you want

But I need the mobile, Sir. Please tell him to return it!

If that goes missing...I can't even...

When you got down the top of the bus, you had only three bags!

No! Not three! Four!

Hey! Wait, wait, wait!

- Where did you say he got down from? - Sir...last night...

...I got him from atop a bus

That's true. What is wrong with that?

- I like buses. - Sir? - Yes, come in

- Got it? - Yes - Thank you! Thank you!

- This is my bag - It was found on top of the bus

The conductor brought it here

Alright. Check if all your stuff is there

There! Found my mobile!

Look! PUBG game!

See?

- Are you a player? - Not at this, no

- No - You should! It's fantastic!

Did you see this?

It's past the Crown level

Imagine if tihs had been lost! Just think about it!

My Good Lord!

- Sir...can we leave? - Alright

Ronnie! Please don't go! One minute!

Here...keep this

- Oh no! I don't want it - I am sorry!

When someone says sorry, you can't stay angry

I truly do not want it

Sir! Please talk to him

- Take it, man - Take it. Just think of it as your first payment

I am happy with what I got! Thank you, Sir

- Joychan, come on - Ronnie, please...

You should have taken the money

Right...and then he gets drunk again...

...and complains that I stole his money

- But he offered it in front of the Police - I don't want it!

- Here you go - No drink for him?

He doesn't drink during the day. Such terrible habits!

So then...cheers!

- Oh no! - Guess it's your wife

It's her

Has she put a chip in you or something?

The minute you are about to have a drink, it's like she knows!

Quiet!

- Yes, honey - What did the doctor say?

- He said to be there at 10 - Ok

- Please get home early - I will - Ok then

Alright

How's the new treatment working out?

- Will it work? - How would it work when she won't have the medicines on time?

She says she will have them if I join in for company

If she was talking about a bottle of alcohol, I could understand

Do you know how bitter the medicines are?

And I suppose this tastes like dessert

Wherever she sees a baby, she picks it up...

...plays with it...makes it laugh

When I see that, it breaks my heart

Hello, Sir?

Really? When?

Ok

Alright, I will tell him

What? What happened?

A car went out of control...

- Huh? - It crashed into the queue in front of a liqour store

- Three people were injured - What?

You need to rush to the hospital

What for? I am fine!

- True - One of those three people...

- ...was him! - Who?

Mr. Chandy

- What? - He has broken his leg

When they asked if he wanted to inform anyone...

...it was your name he gave to the Policemen

- What? - Go quickly to the hospital

- You're having the best time! - You...! - Be quiet!

Listen...he is your first guest

Maybe it's all for the best. Please go

Go on, then...go!

Too bad! Only one leg is broken!

- Sir? - Ah yes! Ronnie!

Come in

Is this a bother for you?

Yes! Such a bother!

I've always liked bothering those I like

And the bother will continue for a few days

Why on earth were you in a liqour store queue?

If you ever want a place without fights or arguments...

...the liquour store queue is the only place in Kerala for you

- That's true! - And then someone rammed into the queue

It's a good thing my leg was in the way

Imagine if they had gone into the store

How many tipplers would have suffered!

- I say they should be shot... - Silence!

Get this medicine from the pharmacy. It's on the second floor.

- Ok - Sister! One second, please! - What?

Is there a liqour store nearby?

There's one right here! We can give it you as injections thrice a day, ok?

Will that do?

I think she will wind up the excise department

I will be back...with the medicines

- Have money? - Yes

By the way...the medicine...

...do you need a half bottle or full?

Full!

What are you doing? Don't strain yourself

- Come in! - Hello, Sir!

Sir...this is my friend, Munna

- Oh! - Hello

Like a feather in the wind, trying to find its way

Up! You!

Get out!

I will be with you like the rain that never goes away

Never taking leave of each other

(song) With a glance, without a word... - Careful!

Could both of you go and get the bags?

- It's a small bag. He can get it - It takes two to get that bag. Go!

Lets shed our pain

And slowly, take wing like a rainbow

He's quite the casanova, huh?

Come here, little one! What happened to you?

Even if our children don't want us...

...we haven't had enough of loving them

She knows that

It was her idea to start this daycare

- You were all at George Sir's wedding, weren't you? - Yes

It was for us she was getting the food that day

Are you sleepy, baby?

Enough? Have some more!

- Sorry - That's alright

You are sponsoring their food for the day!

- What? - Hope you have the 5000 rupees

- I do - Then don't just stand there! Serve!

- Oh...ok... - Move aside

Like a white lotus bud

Like a white marble sculpture

Maiden, stepping in the pool to bathe

Can I join you?

What if someone were to come?

What if someone finds us?

What if someone finds out?

Like a white lotus bud

Like a white marble sculpture

Maiden, step in the pool to bathe

By my side, swaying to the notes of a song

Emergency! Three, please!

What are you pushing for? Let me have my drink!

Shining in the light of a beacon

Let's fill our eyes

With desires

- Why did you take my drink? - Who me?

- I saw you take my drink - I did not

Brother, let's not get into an argument

I don't take people's drinks!

- Keep that there! There is moonlight and clouds in our dreams

For the first time in our path

Like a feather in the wind, trying to find it's way

- What? What's the problem? - We don't want to create any problems!

Without ever letting up

I will be with you like the rain

- Hello! - Hey! Look who's here! - Hi!

- This is my friend Gemma - Hello! Come on! Dance!

With a glance, without a word

I will be with your shade all along

Lets leave our pains far behind

- Move! - No! Just stay with me!

Jesus! Please let this be the one!

Looks like the girl's dad likes you

If you want to ask something, this is the time

What is the groom whispering about, Broker?

- Broker? I am the prospective groom! - What?

- So who is this? - The groom's friend

- So who are you? - I am the Broker

See? I've got an iPad and everything!

So then, shall we meet the girl?

We were looking for a Government employee

Since you are here anyway, might as well have tea

My girl! Bring them the tea

Go serve it to them, daughter

Hello

Won't you have a laddoo?

Go on! Take one!

If you want to talk to the girl, do it now

- But I have nothing to ask - At least ask for her name

- What's your name? - Panna...I mean...Munna

- What? - Munna - These are names these days?

What's the friend's name?

- I... - Why do you want to know? Are you going to marry me and run away with him?

May you spend the rest of your life serving tea and laddoos!

I bet no government employee comes this way, you moron!

I guess....I'll leave...

What? You're leaving?

- Need anything else Ma'am? - No. You can go - Ok

Has this Bengali been with you a long time?

Yes. He is Daddy's driver. Dumb, just like Daddy!

So I bring him along for trips like this

This place is great!

- This is where my friends and I have get togethers - Oh!

- Can't you drink in moderation? - That's enough!

You're done! There's nothing left. Come on

- Come! - Let me go!

When you said this last girl would be the one, did you mean for you?

- I don't want her! Just come! - This is what I always say...

...when you're meeting a girl, you should take friends less attractive than you

- Understood? - How would we find someone less attractive than you? - Quiet!

My wedding plans got messed up because of his damned looks!

- Did you know that? - Come here! - Come, sit here.

Wherever I went to meet a girl, they all wanted government employees

But if they ever want to run away...

...they will go with bus drivers or auto drivers...

...or even the Bengali who sells pani-puri

I'm done with this!

I want no bride or wedding or anything!

That's great! I had decided that long back!

I love you! Here's a kiss for you!

Why such a decision?

Why do people get married anyway?

Maybe because I grew up seeing my Daddy silent and ashamed before my Mummy

I've never felt any attachment to any man ever!

In public, they would put up such an act!

Made for each other!

Once at a party, my Mummy...

...handed me a glass like this one

It was the first thing she ever gave me with love...so it felt like heaven!

You must have so much to remember when you think of your mother

For me, it is when I see this that I remember my mother

How did your mother die?

Who said she died?

She left one day in a huff over something

A year later, I came to know she married a Priest and settled in America

- A Priest? - Yes. Jacobite Priests can get married.

He's a Priest. So maybe he thought he should carry a cross of his own!

Always be happy! Be free!

Why get married? I feel...

...its better to have no relationships at all!

That's just your age talking!

That will change with time

There will be a time you wish for someone to sit by you and talk to you

One fine day...

...you feel the emptiness of having no one

It's a terrible feeling, child. You won't understand it right now

But I think Ronnie would. Am I right?

What? You have a flashback too?

Flashback...?

Yes, I do have one

(Ronnie humming a prayer song)

Not one familiar face!

What about you, Grandma? When are you making it to the Obits?

I will be seeing your picture in there before I make it there

We're going to the market. Need meat or something?

- Yes, a kilo for us please, Micheal Etta - Ok

- Kochumon! Make sure to get ribs - I think you already have one too many!

Sure you need more?

Don't laugh so hard! It wasn't that funny!

- And you get lost! - Ok! If you say so!

Ok. Let's go

What's with the action-comedy?

It's nothing. He asked if we wanted...

...big candles or small ones...

- ...for the family meet - Keep it small

Or I will see you in the Obits too soon!

First a Church service...and then a couple of pegs from a shared bottle...

...then lunch with rice, buttermilk curry...

...some sauteed beans and beef...

That's what makes a great Sunday!

What happened? Your mood seems to be off

- It's nothing - Is it because I did not pay my share?

- Here you go - It's not that - Thank you

No, but give me that!

He did not seem to like the last girl either

- Why? What was wrong with her? - He said she was too short or something

- Too short? - Dad!

- Yes! Ask him what the problem is - Ok

Mom's calling you, Dad! She needs you to scrape the coconut

Thank God! I've been waiting for a while!

- Hey! - What?

How did you figure out from a passport size photo that the girl was too short?

That...that wouldn't have worked out anyway

Really? Why?

Are you in love with someone?

Me? No...Icha...

Tell me if you are! I'll make sure the girl is yours!

Well...no...Icha...there's nothing like that

- Alright then, Cheers! - Cheers!

- Oh no! - What happened?

- Forgot to add water! - Here! Have some!

Stop drawing in your food and eat!

I am not hungry

- Then let me have your beef - Ok

- Icha... - Yes? - When people elope...

...is it ok to tell someone where they are going?

- When eloping? - Yes - It's a great idea to tell someone where you are going

Why do you want to know anyway?

Well...if we get into any trouble when we elope, you will need to come get us

- That's why I asked - 'Us'?

- So who's eloping? - Me and Kochumon!

- When? - We haven't set a date but we are madly in love

- He is scared of you so he says we'll elope - What's this girl saying?

You be quiet, Grandma! Icha, I am scared! Tell him not to make me elope!

- Tell him? I am going to break his bones! - No, Icha! Don't!

He is a nice guy! Don't do anything to him!

Are you really...

...so much in love with him?

Not all that much...but...

...when I look at him for a long time, I feel in love

In that case don't look at him for long!

if I hear the words love or eloping in this house again...

...I will tear you to pieces!

- In that case, give my beef back to me! - What?

There were two more pieces!

Watch out - you are going to die of cholesterol!

Why did you leave me with such a hard-hearted guy?

Could you make Icha agree? Please?

What? Really? You will?

Will you, really? Thank you!

- Kiss you! - Grandma! Where is that women's magazine?

Must be in her room!

If my Dad and Mom had been alive, they would have made all my wishes come true!

Look here! This is your usual trick! Won't work this time

- How many times have you been in love anyway? - 8 times!

- What? - 7 of those times, it was the guy who chased me and proposed to me

But this one...I was the one who chased him

Shameless! Wait till I...!

Grandma! He is trying to kill me!

There! Someone's ringing the bell. Go open the door. Go!

Good Lord!

- Go check! - When I am back, see what I do to you!

Just because I am understanding...!

- Who's there? - It's us!

Why were we hearing fireworks inside?

Fireworks...will be bursting soon!

Sit down

Why're you here, Micheal Etta?

As you know...we have been looking for a bride for him for a while now

Whichever girl he meets...

...he says they are too short or too dark

It's only today he told us the reason for dropping those proposals

He is in love with our girl, Ruby!

If he'd just said this before...

...we needn't have wasted time with all those other girls!

What's your opinion?

Please!

I am not for it

- Why? - They are more interested in eloping than getting married

Why don't we just let them do that?

That would also save us some money

- Dad...I... - You...idiot...!

- You are cleverer than we thought! - Thanks - Get lost!

My darling little flower

Your smile is an auspicious sight to me

My little sister, apple of my eye

I always treasure you in me

Within the walls of my mind

You flit about like a mischeivous dragonfly

Your anklets chime

As you float towards me

You are the melody of the lullaby within your brother's heart

Please sit down...come (Reciting prayers)

My darling little flower

Your smile is an auspicious sight to me

My little sister, apple of my eye

I always treasure you in me

- Grandma... - Seek the blessings of your parents first

Dad...Mom...

Praise be to Lord Jesus

Grandma...Praise be to Lord Jesus

My child!

You...both of you...

...don't cry and make a scene!

- Icha... - What, girl...?

It's time...you should leave now...

Icha...

Praise be to Lord Jesus

Now...and forever!

He told me not to cry

And see what he is doing!

For God's sake! The way you are all crying...

...it's like you are sending her away to Antartica

She'll be right next door!

If you look over the wall, you can see her cooking in the kitchen!

- So why are you crying? - But that will never happen! - Why?

If he wants to hide something from her, he puts it in the kitchen!

The kitchen is the only place she never enters!

Great!

Good reason for a mother-in-law to get irritated

Why would I? It is my husband who does all the work at home!

I'll see you soon...Icha...

Go on now...get in...

Will you hurry, child?

- Grandma! Be sure to pack the monkey cap! - Alright alright

Anything else to pack?

- The medicine box! - I've packed that!

- Packed the monkey cap? - I've packed it, monkey!

- The cap, I mean - Hmm! Here...

Icha...how do I look?

- Why are you wearing all this jewellery? - Grandma said I could

No, no! Don't wear all that! Put it away!

- She's a new bride. Let her wear it - She won't take care of it - I will!

- Promise! - She'll take care...

- Are you ready, child?' - Come on, you fool! Let's go! - Coming!

- Can you keep my bag, Dad? - See you soon! - Ok!

- Kochumon! - Yes? - First Ootty and then Munnar

Five days and then you should get back home

Don't elope or anything!

- See you soon - Byel son!

- Come on! - Hold on a sec...

It's her first time...away without me...

She's just a naive girl...please take care of her

I'll take care, Icha

Bye Dad!

Icha, Bye! Tata!

Bye Grandma! Bye! Icha...

- Buh-bye! - Come in and have tea

I'm staying for lunch too!

- I can escape my wife for some time! - Don't let her hear you!

(On TV) 'Welcome to Charge Sheet'

'Newly-wed groom found murdered in Munnar'

'Bride admitted to hospital with severe injuries'

The victim, Ebin, belongs to Chellanam in Ernakulam

He was cruelly murdered...

...wrapped in a plastic sheet and dumped here

(Reporters recording their news updates)

His wife was viciously attacked as well

This area has a lot of wildlife

The girl seems to have been attacked by a wild animal

It took 15 days...

...for her to regain her memory

I...want nothing except...

...to see her smile again

- Hello? - Have you reached? - Yes

- Where are you? - I am already here

Wedding anniversary celebrations over?

Ya

And where is my treat?

Now let me get you your gift

(on screen) - Don't you want to stay longer? - No

When next?

Ok...Bye

Because the camera is at that angle...

...some parts are not clear

But I guess the important bits are there

So when are you leaving for the UK with your husband?

- Next week - Hmm

Alright then

Is this the chain your husband gifted you?

Yes

- Diamonds? - Ya

With this....you look ever more beautiful!

Ta-da! Item Ready!

Sorry...I am from Swiggy

- I got the wrong room - Hey! Mr Swiggy! Wait!

You haven't got the wrong room!

This is Davis...and this is his wife, Sheela

They're my friends...business partners...

...confidantes....they're everything to me!

Figured out who he is?

Of course! He must be Ronnie! Congrats!

Did you understand what that was for?

Our friend takes a month off every year and goes into hiding like this

No business, no contacts...nothing...

We usually trace him back from the mountains or forests...

But this time, thanks to you...he only went as far as Cochin!

We only have one life, Sheela

After a certain age, you can't even have a cup of tea with sugar

So...when one is still healthy...

...one needs to spend time to live life as you wish

That is my policy!

What? Got it?

This is an original cashew brew... want a taste?

- Should you? Today? - Guess not

The Inspector is on duty...now I could get arrested for drinking!

- Uncle Chandy! - Oh no!

There she comes!

- Who got this for you? - Chechi!

Oh! That looks nice!

Hi, Handsome!

Where'd you get this from?

We met two Russians at the Biennale

I got it from them

This is my one and only daughter

- Our own Inspector! - Hi

Hello

- Santa - Ronnie

- I know - She is the PUBG addict

- If I had lost that mobile... - If you had...

...I would have shot you dead!

And this is Aisa

- Hi Bro! - Hello

She's their product...late to the party but the life of it nevertheless

She's a special item

Ronnie...we are leaving today

I have two villas here

Now that they are here...we are shifting there

Hope you are free today. They have some shopping to do

- Of course he's free! Right? - Sure

- (on phone) Yes, I've told them - Dad! Dad!

This...or this? Which is better?

- Ya both are great - Dad!

- Got what you wanted? - Go away!

And I thought I would help you select something!

- Didn't like any of this? - No! - Just pick something...

- How is this? - No, no saree for me

Hello! What brings you here?

- Do you usually shop here? - Oh no!

- This is my daughter - Hi - And that is Sheela

-...my friend. This is Gemma - Hi

- Here he comes - Ok...select one of these

Oh...no...I don't need this

Don't say that! How is this?

- No - This?

- That's good - Then we fix this

- Hey! - Sister! - Don't jump! - Stay here!

- Just stay here! - Oh no....

- Come here, Dad! - No! Not me!

You have to come, Uncle Chandy!

- Are you scared? - No! I won't come there!

No! What...don't get your clothes wet!

Please...kids!

Please!

Oh no!

The celebration looks grand this year! Awesome!

Santa! My child!

- All this was taken in the other room - Santa! My child!

Were you sitting here?

Here you go! Happy Birthday to you!

Take it, honey!

Hey! Take it!

Just take it!

Oh! Hi!

How are you, Sir?

Oh, I got it! Something auspicious is going on...

...and I come in, uninvited!

That's what you are thinking, aren't you? I got that!

But how could I not come? Also...

...I need some money

Where else would I go when I have an urgent need of money?

Right, honey?

- Chandy Sir.. - Yes

- What's up, Ronnie? - All set, Sir

- Let's start then. Come on, honey - What about my gift?

(singing) Happy Birthday to you...

Happy Birthday to you...

Happy Birthday, dear Santa...

Happy Birthday to you...

- Ronnie! Come here! - Go on!

Move your hand!

Ronnie! Is he going to be in my way?

Guess not!

Hearts are light and minds full of love Watch us! Come on!

Rise together in joy, dance and sing with us!

Hearts are light and minds full of love; Watch us! Come on!

Rise together in joy; dance and sing with us

Little butterfly

Will you join us on this jasmine bough?

Little butterfly

Will you join us on this jasmine bough?

Come closer, mischievous one!

Will you sing with us this evening?

All the world is crazy about you

The world will dance to your tunes!

There is a sparkle in your eyes

Come join us, pretty girl!

Forget your worries; give her your good wishes and pick up the Dhol

We've been waiting for you

With surprises awaiting

We've been waiting for you With surprises awaiting

We always remember, dear girl

We've been waiting for you With surprises awaiting

We always remember, dear girl

Like the Moon has come down from its heights

I have seen the sparkle in your dark eyes

When you come closer with your music, dear girl

You must have heard the song of the wind

Let mind and body come together; lets smile and play on!

Coming down from the skies

Are all the stars in Heaven

Coming down from the skies Are all the stars in Heaven

They play a tune for you, dear girl

Coming down from the skies, All the stars in Heaven

Play a tune for you, dear girl!

Have all the Gods come down from the skies?

And given a you a gift in a casket of clouds?

The golden lotus will be here to make friends with you

Come angel, you golden mirage

Let mind and body come together; lets smile and play on!

- Hello Sir - Hello - Please come

- Please sit - Thanks

- Hello - Please sit

Sorry...I...

Do you know of any trouble he had in business or anything?

Did he ever mention anything of the sort?

No...he...

He...

There was nothing of the sort

He was planning to open another restaurant

It was in the planning stage

- Other than that... - Was it your wedding that was fixed?

- Yes - What's your name? - Tanisha

- And yours? - Tasni

Sir...for a while Dad seemed to be tensed

- Maybe that was related to the wedding? - No

No Sir...whatever the matter...

...he would always discuss it with Mom

But...last week, without informing anyone...

...he had withdrawn 50 lakhs

And it was the day after that, that he...

As far as I understand, whether at home or in business...

...he was not facing any problems

Why then do you think...your Dad...

...committed suicide?

- Honey! - Yes, Dad?

What! You are not ready yet?

- You go on, Dad - Why? What happened?

I am not in a mood to travel

It's because you said you want to see Alappuzha that I planned my meeting there

Maybe we'll go next time. Now you leave

- Sure? You're alright? - Yes!

Ok then. I'll see you later

- Dad! - Hmm? - When are we going back?

After Easter. Joy is planning a grand affair. Why?

- What's the matter, Honey? - Nothing, Dad. Go on

- Shall we go then? - Ok

- You're not coming? - No - She's still tired from last night

At home too, both of them are still asleep

- See you then. Take care - Ok - Bye, child

Good morning!

Sorry...I couldn't say it yesterday

Belated birthday wishes!

- Thanks, Mother - Thanks indeed!

I forced her to wait. Or else she would've come to the birthday despite her fever

- How are you now, Mother? - It was nothing

For a few days now, I have been having dreams about her

Disturbing dreams

When I saw you in person...

...I feel relieved!

So Chandy...was the birthday function awesome?

- Did you have a grand spread? - Of course!

- You really missed it, Sister! - It's so sad!

- It's alright, Sister...the main function is only coming up - Huh?

Her wedding! It is time

- Don't you think so, Chandy? - Of course! And then we will plan a menu you'll enjoy!

Really? I will be here a week in advance!

- Chandy Sir? - Ah yes, Ronnie. Got everything?

I did. I went all the way to Ernakulam market to get the dry shark you wanted

That's why I was delayed...also...

I have packed some of my Grandma's special fish pickle and chutney too

Chutney? I could have three plates of rice with that alone!

You do that with no curry either!

Ronnie...please drop them to the railway station

Sure, Sir...I will wait outside

- What a nice lad - We will take our leave then

Ronnie! Pass me some of that chutney

Let me try out your Grandma's specialty

I'll see you later, child

Here...keep this rosary

Wear it around your neck at all times

I will

I still can't believe Basheer Sir is gone

Such a kind-hearted man!

Anything that the children here need...

...he was always ready to provide

Please have some tea

He was planning to get two of our girls married off before your daughter's wedding

He even found grooms for them

But what can we do now? It is the girls' fate!

That's why we are here. Those weddings should happen

- Just let us know how much money you need - No

- Now that your daughter's wedding has been called off... - That's ok

This was something he really wanted. That should happen.

God's blessings will be on you!

- Isn't your sister here? - She is with the children outside

Where is she?

You wait in the car, Mom. I will go get her

- I have completed 12th Grade - Come, honey...let's go

Sister...this is a friend of Dad's

- Hi - Hello

- Go wait in the car. I'll be right there. - Ok

- Bye - Bye

- Your sister is beautiful too - Huh?

Just like her elder sister

- I haven't... - Seen me before?

But I've seen you

Basheer Sir and I were good friends

- Oh? - Thick friends, really. Look

If I release these pictures in public...

...it will be the end for your sister and you

Also the image your Father had in public

And when your mother comes to know...

...she may commit suicide just like your Dad

These are the thoughts in your head right now, aren't they?

But hey...no!

I wouldn't do that

In any case, it's a good thing your wedding was called off

Why aren't you saying anything?

You were the one who said you wanted to know why your father killed himself

Then why are you doing this now?

I am asking you why you are withdrawing your complaint?

My sister and I need to live on. That's why

Good girl!

If you need more, make it yourself. It's not my fault the girl didn't like you

Her father was a sport though

He hit the Broker but he made us have tea and snacks before we left

So then, Cheers! Dear forefathers...

- What's this? - All my forefathers were drunks

Can't get them more drunk! My Dad was a drunk too

- But he stopped when Feroze came along - Feroze?

Who's that? A friend of your Dad's?

No...it's that illness that attacks your liver

- That's cirhossis! - Ya, that's when he stopped!

Is your name really Munna?

- Is it, really? - Of course...why?

Some guys with terrible names...

...sometimes call themselves Munna

- That's why I asked... - I...

- Have a drink, Brother - No! There will be police checking on the road

With the money we pay as fine, we could as well have a party at home!

And it's not just that...my wife says drink at home if you need to

So I've stopped drinking out of home

I am almost thinking of quitting altogether

- What? - That's the joke of the year!

It's the Broker

Where are we going bride hunting next?

- What? - Have one, Joychayan

- No, I shouldn't - What's the matter?

Why are you so low on energy?

It's actually not my wife's fault we can't have children

The fault is mine

She was trying to make me have medicines without letting me know it was my fault

That's why she made that excuse about wanting company

Finally, when she thought I just couldn't give up drinking...

...she said, if that's what makes you happy...

...maybe I'll join you too

This is her now

- Yes, honey? - Will you be late?

- No, I am just heading home - Had dinner?

- No...I'll have dinner with you - Ok

When I am about to have a drink...or when my eyes are filling up...

...she can sense it immediately

We can never really understand women!

They're a miracle!

- What's the matter? - What you said is true

We really can't ever understand women!

Why? What's happened?

She agreed to the wedding!

She said she wants to get married to me!

- That's great, man! - She is smart!

Now I'll tell you what my real name is

- But you can't tell anyone - Come on, tell us!

Valsan

Oh God! Valsan!

Don't worry...we will take care of it!

No! That won't be necessary

- I have a meeting with the Minister this evening - Hello, Sir - Hello

- Sir, your key! - Ok

Alright then!

Come in, quick!

God! My dear girl!

I am still shaking!

- You sure this place is ok? - Yes

Like this is your first time! Stop playacting!

I didn't mean that...but why did you ring the bell over there?

- What if there is someone there? - That room was vacated this morning

You are prettier than your pictures!

Really? Thank you!

Who could that be?

Go and find out!

If I am seen here...you know how it is...

Be brave! Open that door!

You! How dare you behave like this with her?

- Leave me alone! - Better lie still!

Oh no! Leave me! Oh no!

- Leave me! - Be quiet!

- Leave me! My hand! Oh no! My hand! - Quiet! Be still!

Who are you guys? Leave me alone!

Oh no! Oh no! Leave me!

- Please! - Go on! Click!

- You! Move your hand! - What?

Wow! This place looks nice!

Next time, your Dad said he is coming here for massage therapy

Really? And how is the payment therapy here?

- It's great too! - Then I guess it's ok!

Honey...this is...Chandy Sir's daughter

Santa

- Santa? - Huh?

Santa!

What's it, Santa? What happened?

We haven't decided that...I will be in Dubai soon

- Yes...I'll be there a few days - Who are you talking to?

True...my daughter and I...

...were just...out

She had a bit of shopping and stuff

- Hey! - What? - Shall we? - Ya

I was talking to her

Every time I was out...I would feel a little scared

Like he was watchng me... from somewhere afar...

How...how did you get inside the car? Get out!

- Get out! - Why are you so scared?

I am here to see you, honey

Are you well...Peeli?

Honey...Peeli!

Peeli...

- Oh...no...! - What happened?

- Why is there blood on them? - I don't know

Hey! Have you committed murder?

- Would a body bleed for no reason? - Come on, honey

- Come on, Honey! Come on! - He has murdered his father!

- Is that true? - Have you heard of something like this at his age! - True!

Someone call the Police!

Hey! Look! Look!

Come here! Run!

- Hey! Here you go! - What about me, Sir? What about me?

- There! For you! - And me! And me!

Here! Take it!

- Hello Granny! How are you? - I am well!

(Children talking in background)

Come!

Hey! Come here!

Child...why aren't you eating?

Let me help you

Eat, child...go on

Have some....here

Come here, child...come

This is the person I told you about

Here we are...look...did you like it?

That's my daughter...Santa

Four years ago...

...I lost her and her mother

See, my child...see what I have got for you!

Take it, my child

Here...some bangles

She's my own sister's daughter

What can I do? My brother-in-law turned out like that

Now my brother-in-law is gone and so is my sister

I can take care of my little niece

Come, child...let's go...Uncle is here for you

Please take good care of my child

Let her live in comfort...that's all I want

And...I will drop in now and then

Eventually I turned into their Santa

I put the past behind me

But I could never forget my brother

I just drifted here and there for a while

I was scared to come back

And when I did...I first went to the orphanage where you were put up

But...however much I asked... they never told me...

...where you were

But I was sure I would meet you again some day

Also, I wasn't sure how Mr Chandy would react

That's why...I never came close to you

Anyway...you are fine...

That's all I want

Alright then...I will see you later, honey

Etta, Dad is in Dubai right now. He'll be back in 2 days

- Won't you come and meet him - Let him get back

I will come then. Let me leave for now

- OK? -Ok

- See you, honey - Ok

Oh!

Hello Dad...yes...when are you getting back?

On the 20th. Want me to get you anything?

- No! Just get back soon...there is a surprise for you. - What surprise?

- Get back and I'll tell you then - ok!

- Bye! - Alright!

- What is it, Etta? - I vacated my room in the morning

And when I returned, I couldn't find another

It's peak season. All the hotels are full

Not just me...come here

I was hunting for a room when I met these people

A friend of mine and his wife...they're on their honeymoon

Etta...I...

...haven't told anyone here yet

- When Dad gets back... - Please!

She is really tired

Honey...

Can't you just say this girl is your friend?

Just for this night...by morning we will find rooms...ok?

Don't stop now...there's some great beef...

It's cooked with Chinese potatoes

You better learn to cook all this

This is more potato than beef

I ate up all the beef!

Stand closer

- Jiji! Is everything set? - All set! Just have to fry some papads

Then make it fast! Dad will be here any minute

Your Dad travels all the time...so what is special about today?

- There's a surprise today. Not just for Dad but you too! - What's that?

- Let Dad get here! - Tell me! - Go and fry the papads now!

A surprise?

(On tv) 'Newly wed husband found murdered in Munnar'

'The victim of the brutal murder is Ebin, a native of Chellanam in Ernakulam'

- 'Ebin's wife Ruby is in hospital with severe injuries' - Child! Come here!

(On TV) The body was wrapped in plastic... - What is it? - Take a look at this!

'His wife has been brutally attacked too'

'This area has a lot of wild animals'

'She has been attacked by some animal' Child...isn't this the lad that came here?

' 'Has any evidence been collected? - Not yet but we are investigating'

Who did you say they were?

'The body was discovered about 25 kms away....'

'...from Munnar town' - A...friend... - Your Dad's home

'Two bodies had earlier been found' - Go and open the door - Ok

'Investigations into those murders...' Go and open the door! Go!

'...have reached nowhere while this new body has been found'

Open!

Give it!

You said you had a surprise for me!

- Give it to me - That...Dad...

It's just that she did all the cooking today

She's made your favourite shrimps with mangoes...that's what she meant

That was the surprise?

Thank you, dear!

Come! I am really hungry!

- I'll change quickly...set the table...ok? - Ok

Child...no one came here...

...and we know no one. Got it?

Let's not get dragged into trouble

- Hello? - Hello, honey...it's me!

Etta...what...is all this?

- Who killed him? - I did

- I killed him - Huh?

I thought about telling my Dad everything

But...

What can I do with this, honey?

- If you want, I will speak directly to your Dad. - Etta...

Dad doesn't know anything about all this

- Reached? - Yes. Where are you?

I am right here

Come, Honey. I want you to meet a friend of mine

Come on!

Get inside

Come on...inside!

This is my sister

- I am Arya - Santa

Nice, isn't it?

You can go wait in the car now. I'll be right there

Go on! We have some personal stuff to discuss. I'll be right there

- Wedding anniversary celebrations over? - Ya

And where is my treat?

On my phone, there are pictures of you with them

If I get caught by the Police... they'll ask...

...who you are and what your connection is, to this case

What should I say then, honey?

Nice, isn't it?

Here, honey

Shall we?

Come, child...here is another friend I want you to meet

Come on out!

- Here - Honey...

Take that from him

Just take the bag from him and put it in the car

- That's...50...isn't it? - Yes

Please don't trouble me any more

- Please... - Alright, alright....go!

Hello! Your daughter's wedding is next week, isn't it?

I'll be coming

Your daughter is beautiful!

I will come

(in newspaper) 'Businessman commits suicide'

In three murder cases...

...I could become an accused, Ronnie

Chandy Sir!

- Chandy Sir! - Ronnie! What's up?

- I need to meet Chandy Sir - They left by noon

Brother! Do you know where Chandy Sir's house is?

- Kurishinkal Chandy? - Go down to the left and then right

Come!

Sir, where is Santa?

Ronnie...she told me everything

- Sir...I need to...see Santa - Ronnie...please!

Leave us alone...for the sake of your sister...

...I am willing to do anything!

My daughter is everything to me!

I have no one but her in this entire world

For 12 years now...she had been waiting...

...for her big brother to come back

With adopted kids...

...we are not supposed to...

...reveal their details to anyone

But...now...

Come, honey...come, honey!

Someone call the Police!

Look at him running away after committing murder! Catch him!

- Stop him! Stop him! - He killed his father! - Stop him!

- Stop him! - Stop running!

- Don't run! - Stop him!

Hey stop! Stop!

Hey! Don't run! Don't!

- Oh no! What happened? - Come, let's go see! Quick!

- Oh no! Come on! Come on! - Go and see what happened!

- Oh no! Is he dead?

Did he fall under?

Someone check if he is still alive

It took a lot of effort...

...for us to bring her back to a normal life

The news of her brother's death...

...was kept secret from her on the doctor's advice

If she came to know...what if she... relapsed...

That's how much she loved her brother!

Don't worry, Chandy

I will talk to her and help her come to terms with everything

She has not knowingly committed any wrong

Ronnie!

- My...daughter... - What is it, Sir?

Sir...where is Santa?

It's the full cash, isn't it?

Hmm...ok...

What, honey? Are you scared of me?

Get inside

I know...you are angry with me

I will never trouble you again

Honey...now...

...will we meet again?

Guess not

Alright...we won't

Let's not meet again!

Hey! See? Crores!

Take! Take as much as you want!

Go on! Tell me! How much do you want?

Come on! Tell me!

You can tell me what you feel is right

Look...you did all the work...

...but the idea was mine, right?

So...if you want...you can take a 10 or 20...

...as you like!

It was God who brought him before me!

God! Or rather...

...he is my God!

Tell me, son...what do you want? Tell me!

I...want it all!

- Sir! - Huh? - Please try calling again

It's ringing...she is not picking up

Hey!

- Hello? - Hello! Dad!

- Hello! - Dad! - Hello!

Oh no!

Ronnie! He...Ronnie!

- Ronnie...he was....no one! - I know!

- I know everything... - He...

It's alright...it's alright!

Ronnie!

Ronnie! Ronnie!

Don't be scared, Santa

Hello?

Come!

Ronnie! Where is my Dad?

He's in the car, honey. I have packed him nice and good!

Want to see him?

Come!

Santa!

Dad!

Was my little sister so brave?

Good girl!

How come I didn't know that?

Santa!

Santa!

Santa!

Santa, Go!

I said, go, Santa!

Hey!

You!

Daughter!

(singing) Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday to you!

No! First for the birthday boy!

- See what I do to you! - Oh no!

- Stay there! Stay! - Dad!

(On TV) 'This is 24'

'With elections at the door step, Canadian PM...'

...Justin Trudeau faces setback with Ethics Committee report'

(Headlines continue on TV) - Got everything? - Yes

(Headlines continue)

(Headlines continue)

(Headlines continue) Come!

(On Tv) 'Another instance of wild animal attack reported from Munnar'

'One person killed. Tamil Nadu Police and Kerala Police have been on the trail of...

...notorious criminal Shiva who was killed in the attack.'

It was this morning that the rotted remains...

...of Shiva was discovered in the interior jungles of Munnar'

This area has had reports of animal attacks in the past too

But the fact that the victim was a dreaded criminal...

...raises suspicions and therefore...

...the Police have started investigations in full swing...Ratheesh

- Sir! - What? - The media is creating a ruckus, Sir!

Let them! It is their ruckus that creates some accountability

They would like to talk to you, Sir

This is what you've been saying for a long time

Do you know how long we've been waiting? Please talk to us!

This....is good!

- Sir! What is the evidence... - Only one, please!

One of you ask, please! How about you?

- Sir... - What animal was it? And the victim is a notorious crinimal

Which increases the mystery of this event. What really happened, Sir?

This area is prone to wild animal attacks

This incident has taken place a couple of weeks ago!

The body is decomposed...so we are unable to give a precise opinion

The pattern of injuries on his body...

...and the pattern of attack...

...is consistent with a tiger attack

He might have encountered the tiger while engaging in some illegal activity here

The locals have reported tiger sightings in these parts

So there is nothing suspicious here. He was killed by a tiger for sure

- Sir! - Yes? - Oh, sorry!

- Here - Thank you, Sir. And Sir, I feel...

...somebody killed him and dumped the body here

- Shall we investigate...? - Stop! Is he your Uncle's son or something?

If people like him stay alive, is it going to reduce the petrol-diesel prices?

- So just carry on with your work - But, Sir...

How could you be so sure it was a tiger?

Whoever did this...

...he is a real tiger!

- Give it to me - Here

Get in

Come...let's go

- But... - Come on...get inside

- Goodbye, then - Ok

Ok

Shall we?

He may be a Bengali but he also deserves some relaxation

Carry on, then...

What else!
