visited has been filled with happiness. 317 00:31:48,375 --> 00:31:50,500 But here, I don't see a single person smiling. 318 00:31:53,250 --> 00:31:55,083 That's a long story, sir. 319 00:31:57,459 --> 00:31:58,334 A story? 320 00:31:58,375 --> 00:32:00,709 It's not a story of a year or two, sir. 321 00:32:01,876 --> 00:32:03,876 It's a story spanning hundreds of years, sir. 322 00:32:05,083 --> 00:32:10,834 The people of Mekkarai lived happily, doing agriculture in nature's embrace. 323 00:32:10,959 --> 00:32:12,083 Within this very village 324 00:32:12,125 --> 00:32:15,250 lived eighteen-year-old Vanamangai, revered as a living goddess by the folk, 325 00:32:15,334 --> 00:32:18,500 alongside Dasarathan, a master of ancient arts. 326 00:32:18,751 --> 00:32:20,417 One day, sensing through her divine powers 327 00:32:20,459 --> 00:32:25,709 that Mekkarai was about to suffer a massive famine, 328 00:32:25,751 --> 00:32:27,417 Vanamangai decided to save the village. 329 00:32:27,459 --> 00:32:28,751 Without telling anyone, 330 00:32:28,792 --> 00:32:30,167 she left the mountain, went down, 331 00:32:30,250 --> 00:32:32,792 and immersed herself in intense penance at the Shiva temple. 332 00:32:33,292 --> 00:32:36,459 The people of the village searched high and low for Vanamangai, 333 00:32:36,500 --> 00:32:38,542 but she was nowhere to be found. 334 00:32:38,626 --> 00:32:40,042 Years passed. 335 00:32:40,083 --> 00:32:41,626 Just as Vanamangai had dreaded, 336 00:32:41,667 --> 00:32:44,709 a severe drought struck Mekkarai, robbing them of rain and harvest, 337 00:32:44,751 --> 00:32:46,125 plunging them into utter famine. 338 00:32:46,209 --> 00:32:50,751 Believing that Vanamangai leaving the village was the reason for the famine, 339 00:32:50,792 --> 00:32:53,334 the villagers decided to leave the village of Mekkarai. 340 00:32:53,375 --> 00:32:55,083 At that moment, Dasarathan stepped forward and said, 341 00:32:55,125 --> 00:32:57,000 "Do not leave the mountains. 342 00:32:57,042 --> 00:32:58,417 Just wait 21 days. 343 00:32:58,459 --> 00:33:00,042 I will fast for the Goddess 344 00:33:00,083 --> 00:33:03,000 and bring the rains back to this village." 345 00:33:03,042 --> 00:33:04,542 The villagers agreed. 346 00:33:04,584 --> 00:33:06,083 The 21st day arrived. 347 00:33:06,125 --> 00:33:09,417 The villagers kept their eyes on the sky, hoping for rain. 348 00:33:09,459 --> 00:33:10,751 Suddenly, to everyone's surprise, after seven long years, 349 00:33:10,792 --> 00:33:13,125 Vanamangai returned to the village. 350 00:33:13,167 --> 00:33:15,209 And with her, the rain began to pour. 351 00:33:15,250 --> 00:33:19,083 Believing that rain came back only because Vanamangai returned, 352 00:33:19,125 --> 00:33:21,042 the villagers praised and celebrated her. 353 00:33:21,083 --> 00:33:24,167 Dasarathan was absolutely furious that all the honor and respect meant for him 354 00:33:24,209 --> 00:33:26,751 went straight to Vanamangai instead. 355 00:33:27,083 --> 00:33:31,167 Dasarathan teamed up with his aunt Kovazhagi and cooked up a wicked plan. 356 00:33:31,209 --> 00:33:33,542 That same night, he met the village head 357 00:33:33,584 --> 00:33:36,626 and claimed the rain was actually because of his ritual, 358 00:33:36,667 --> 00:33:39,834 and that Vanamangai is pregnant without even getting married. 359 00:33:39,876 --> 00:33:43,083 Hearing this, the village head was shocked and refused to believe it. 360 00:33:43,125 --> 00:33:44,834 But Dasarathan swore it was the absolute truth, 361 00:33:44,876 --> 00:33:47,167 warning him that if that unholy child survived to see the sunrise tomorrow, 362 00:33:47,209 --> 00:33:50,000 it would spell total destruction for the village with no turning back. 363 00:33:50,042 --> 00:33:52,500 After that, the village head sent the medicine lady Kovazhagi 364 00:33:52,542 --> 00:33:55,876 to check Vanamangai's pulse and see if she was pregnant. 365 00:33:55,918 --> 00:33:59,667 She checked the pulse and came back, lying that Vanamangai was pregnant. 366 00:33:59,709 --> 00:34:02,042 Hearing that, the village head was utterly shocked and shattered. 367 00:34:02,083 --> 00:34:03,959 When the village head asked what needed to be done, 368 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,292 Dasarathan replied, "Burning that demon is the only way." 369 00:34:10,834 --> 00:34:13,042 While Vanamangai was sleeping at home, 370 00:34:13,083 --> 00:34:14,918 Dasarathan, with the help of the villagers, 371 00:34:14,959 --> 00:34:16,918 set fire to Vanamangai's house. 372 00:34:17,083 --> 00:34:18,500 The fire caught and blazed. 373 00:34:18,542 --> 00:34:21,292 Vanamangai screamed for help, but no one came. 374 00:34:21,584 --> 00:34:23,542 When Dasarathan told her what happened, 375 00:34:23,584 --> 00:34:25,375 Vanamangai was filled with great anger. 376 00:34:25,459 --> 00:34:28,292 'This village doubted the very girl who lived and breathed for them! 377 00:34:28,334 --> 00:34:30,125 Now, as I die in these flames, I leave you with a curse! 378 00:34:30,167 --> 00:34:34,375 For every seven years, the sixth month which falls once every year, 379 00:34:34,417 --> 00:34:37,083 men in this village will meet a brutal, horrific death!' 380 00:34:37,125 --> 00:34:38,959 Shouting this, she let the fire consume her. 381 00:34:39,209 --> 00:34:40,375 In that same month, 382 00:34:40,417 --> 00:34:42,292 that Dasarathan was found mysteriously dead, 383 00:34:42,334 --> 00:34:44,876 in his vomit pool of blood on that red sand road. 384 00:34:45,042 --> 00:34:48,542 In the days that followed, the village head and other men in town 385 00:34:48,584 --> 00:34:50,584 started dropping dead under mysterious circumstances. 386 00:34:51,959 --> 00:34:53,042 Everyone started believing 387 00:34:53,083 --> 00:34:56,125 that the curse cast by Vanamangai was the reason for all this. 388 00:34:56,167 --> 00:34:58,250 Because of this, all the villagers gathered 389 00:34:58,292 --> 00:35:00,083 to appease her anger, 390 00:35:00,125 --> 00:35:03,125 they built a temple for Vanamangai and started worshipping her. 391 00:35:03,459 --> 00:35:05,334 Despite their prayers and devotion, 392 00:35:05,375 --> 00:35:07,584 while the number of men dying decreased, 393 00:35:07,626 --> 00:35:09,000 the mysterious deaths never truly stopped. 394 00:35:09,042 --> 00:35:11,709 The villagers completely ostracized Dasarathan's kin, 395 00:35:11,751 --> 00:35:13,959 cutting all ties with his family. 396 00:35:14,042 --> 00:35:17,000 As time passed, among Dasarathan's family line, 397 00:35:17,042 --> 00:35:20,167 only Kani was left alive as the last person. 398 00:35:20,584 --> 00:35:23,083 Martin Sir loved Kani with all his heart. 399 00:35:23,125 --> 00:35:26,375 He considered Kani his entire world and was determined to marry her. 400 00:35:26,417 --> 00:35:28,834 Neither the villagers 401 00:35:28,918 --> 00:35:31,083 nor Father Christopher, who had raised him, accepted his decision. 402 00:35:31,125 --> 00:35:34,918 Undeterred by their opposition, Martin Sir decided to marry Kani 403 00:35:34,959 --> 00:35:37,083 and leave the village forever. 404 00:35:37,709 --> 00:35:40,792 Kani and Martin Sir began their life together in happiness. 405 00:35:40,834 --> 00:35:42,709 But fate has a way of catching up to everyone. 406 00:35:42,751 --> 00:35:45,834 Martin Sir received a posting as an Inspector in Mekkarai, 407 00:35:45,876 --> 00:35:47,334 and he moved into that grand, Big house. 408 00:35:47,375 --> 00:35:49,167 And in the very month of the dreaded curse, June. 409 00:35:49,459 --> 00:35:51,209 I am married to you now, 410 00:35:53,167 --> 00:35:55,542 so the curse of Dasarathan's lineage shouldn't touch me anymore, right? 411 00:35:55,584 --> 00:35:57,959 Will you take me to see the Goddess? 412 00:35:58,417 --> 00:36:00,209 Even if the entire village stands against us, 413 00:36:00,250 --> 00:36:02,417 I will take you to Vanamangai's temple myself. 414 00:36:03,042 --> 00:36:05,834 Driven by Kani's desire to pay her respects to Vanamangai, 415 00:36:05,876 --> 00:36:08,626 Martin sir drove her to the temple in his jeep. 416 00:36:08,667 --> 00:36:11,709 As Kani stood in awe, gazing at the idol of Vanamangai, 417 00:36:11,751 --> 00:36:13,375 a sudden, piercing scream shattered the silence. 418 00:36:13,459 --> 00:36:15,167 Kani rushed to see what had happened, 419 00:36:15,209 --> 00:36:17,250 only to find Martin sir lifeless in the driver's seat of the jeep. 420 00:36:17,334 --> 00:36:22,042 The villagers began to blame Kani for Martin's death. 421 00:36:22,083 --> 00:36:23,918 Seven years have passed since that day, 422 00:36:23,959 --> 00:36:25,876 and today is the first time we are finally moving that jeep. 423 00:36:29,083 --> 00:36:30,042 Sir, here's your tea. 424 00:36:30,417 --> 00:36:31,125 Oh! 425

village sticks to black tea, sir. 431 00:36:50,876 --> 00:36:53,125 The moment Paari learned about that village, 432 00:36:53,876 --> 00:36:55,417 he couldn't have imagined 433 00:36:55,918 --> 00:36:58,375 that the remaining days of that June 434 00:36:59,083 --> 00:37:02,042 would leave his entire life scarred forever. 435 00:37:05,042 --> 00:37:06,834 'Thenmala Kerala' 436 00:37:09,292
