NEWSHORES

Father, get up

Wake up, father! Get up, it is morning

Drink this tea

- Enough - l'm not done yet

You can do it later, let me leave you at Salome chechi's house

Salome'chechi Here take care of my 'wealth'

Return it when l get back from work

Don't worry, she'll be safe here

- Shankara - l'm coming

- Where were you? - l overslept, da

Here hold this

Shankara, l see a big one coming Hold on, okay?

Okay, hold on Now push

Ahoy! Heave ho!

Get in

- Okay, get in - Now take it

- How was the catch? - Not very good

A tea for me Narayana

Everyday there are reports of women harassments

Even small kids Vile rascals!

lt's not like old times, kids shouldn't be allowed to interact with strangers

These are times even relatives can't be trusted

With such atrocities it's the town that gets a bad name

How can he do it to an 8 year old girl?!

Such fellow's should not be spared but killed right away

Are you listening, Shankar'etta?

Get married and get your daughter a companion

Leaving her alone like this is dangerous

This is for you No, that's not allowed

My dear? Thamara?

Salome'chechi Did Thamara come here?

She went back home

She's not there

Where can she be?

Sarama'chechi Did you see my daughter?

She was hanging around here

- What is it, da? - Did you see my daughter?

lsn't she there, playing with those kids?

Thamara!

Come here, my girl

- What is it, father? - You scared me

l didn't see you here That's why l called

- l'll come back soon - Where are you prancing off?.

Even when l'm in the middle of the sea...

l keep thinking of you, not able to work properly

You are alone here

But Salome aunty is with me

She may not always be able to look after you

- Are you scared of the sea? - No

You should not fear the sea

The sea is your mother A mother to all of us

She gives all that we ask for

When you sleep while at sea, you must feel you are...

...on your mother's lap and not be scared

- Will you get scared? - No, father

You are truly my daughter

Unnikanda, there's one more coming with us today

Who else is coming?

Not anyone new lt's our Thamara

Thakathunithai! (My goodness!)

How crazy can you get?!

lf you take her out to the deep sea she'll be sick and suffer terribly

Nothing will happen, she will sit in the kitchen and cook for us

lsn't that right, my dear?

Don't ask for trouble, Shankara'etta Let her stay on the shore

What danger? lt's worse on land than on sea

lf l leave her alone and go l won't have peace of m ind

My daughter should always be with me Whether it's on the shore or sea

lf it's not a problem to them why should we bothered?

Thakathunithai!

Then add this new member into the boat auspiciously

Here we go! Hold on and in you go!

Hey!

Oh dark rain bearing winds, go away Don't hover over and rain, just run away

Aren't you the pearl, mother sea found to nurture

When she turns tumultuous, won't my little pearl cry

Just go away, oh west wind clouds

Oh dark rain bearing winds, go away

Which song shall l sing for you So my dear one can sleep

Which boat shall l row To reach another shore

Grow like the rainbow, be the darling of this town

Even if you reach heights look further beyond the skies

Rock and sway in the boat my girl, rock a bye baby

Without you the festival of harvest has no meaning

Nor anything else in life, my little garden of flowers

Oh dark rain bearing winds, go away Don't hover over and rain, just run away

Aren't you the pearl, mother sea found to nurture

When she turns tumultuous, won't my little pearl cry

Just go away, oh west wind clouds

Oh dark rain bearing winds, go away

Did you hear? Lasser's boat sank

Did you hear? Lasser's boat sank

The rescue boats saved everyone but couldn't find Shankaran'ettan

My dear, don't go!

Father!

7 years later

- Praise be to the Lord - Amen

My leg is not healing, Father

Did you drink the herbal medicine l gave?

That was over long back Now l'm unable to walk, Father

Did you do the heat therapy l asked you to?

l did, Father

You'd have gone wrong with the medicine intake

No, Father

- Your leg ache persists, eh? - l am not able to walk at all

So walking is your problem , right? But l see you can run along with me

So hereafter, don't walk, run

Some people refuse to admit they have recovered

Maybe it's because they get free treatment

Lord Muruga Lord Ayyappa

l pray that my wife and son continue to be healthy enough to work

- Kanakamma? - Yes?

When the rice broth is ready, just give me a call

Anybody would think you were ready to set out for work

The shower has tired me!

Don't get up, continue reading

- Are you studying well? - Yes, father

You must! Mohan couldn't get admission to 'Teacher training course'

He wants you at least to become a teacher

He will otherwise curse me to death He already says l ruined his future

lsn't he obviously right?

He wanted to become a teacher in the local school here

Didn't he stop studies and go to sea because of you?

Thakathunithai!

You talk as if l deliberately fell off the boat and became bed ridden

Just because you met with an accident...

...does it mean you have to remain jobless for ever?

lt's only because my son and l toil we were able to get our daughter married

Unnikandan is quite alright now Why can't you go find work?

Oh Father! Only God knows the effort l take to even walk

l have a bad catch in my back

lt started when l asked him to come help me sell fish

Each day he has a different kind of catch

Catch in the back Catch in the leg

But refuses to catch fish

What is this, Kandan?

Kandan, don't go in for heavy work

Nothing doing

Either work hard or not work at all

- Then go do some hard work - l need to be healthy, right, father?.

ln short you don't want to work

When you say Kandan in Malayam it means Tom cat

Look at that scholar!

Studying in 1 0th and started to call her dad as cat (Kandan)

Not just an ordinary cat

A cunning cat who dislikes work

Wasn't he taking tuition? why is he running back home?

- Father! lt has come - Didn't l say it was an inrush (fish)

- lt has come in the news paper - What! lnflux in the newspaper?

Didn't l tell you about an interview with Thamara?

lt's been published, look

A red lotus (Chenthamara) in the sea

Hey its true, Mohan, why didn't you also pose with her for the photo?

Am l the girl fishing in the sea?

She is very smart There can't be another girl like her

This girl who lives battling life and the sea

...is a role model for all women in the world

Let us honor her We'll make it a celebration

Chenthamara, who grew up learning the ways of sea with her father...

...went on with life, even after he died

...and continued fishing, like her father had taught her

With support from loving neighbors and friends...

...she grew up as a true daughter of the sea

Oh, here comes the drama artiste!

- So l'll see you on the 13th in Tripunitura - Okay, l'll be there

Sister!

Appacha, don't forget to get me the dried prawns

Okay, but you must pay cash, no credit like last time

l buy this from outside folks

- Of course l'll pay you - Well, if you say so!

See Tamara's interview has been published

Oh! That's superb

All our names are there

They have particularly mentioned drama artiste AlleppeyAppachan

Really?

My son Sarangan's name should not have been published

- Why? - He'll become more arrogant

Why should it when he doesn't spare Rs 1 0 for his father?

You are in top form in the morning itself?.

- How many did you have today? - Two

- Two? - Okay, 3

- Three? - Okay fine, 4

- Ah, tell me the truth - So where is Tamara, da?

Out at sea

When she gets back there's to be a huge celebration, planned by Father Michael

There she comes!

As soon as l garland her the band has to start playing

Band players, as soon as Father garlands her, the band has to start

Heave ho! Heave ho!

Why is everyone gathered here?

Has Fr Michael got married to Veroni aunty?

Father, why are all of you here? l don't understand

You are the pride of our land today

The hard working famous girl from our shore

Look at this!

- What is it? - Here hold this

- Ah! - Superb, l say!

This was arranged by Fr Michael to honor you as you came in from the sea

We realized your greatness only when the newspapers wrote about you

l worked like anybody else would There is nothing great in that

Don't embarrass me l feel awkward, father

Please stop all this

Nothing doing, you don't know your own value

You are the only one in this whole state who goes fishing in the sea

- We realized that only now - That is true

We are not dispersing without this reception

- Father, garland her - Aiyo! No please!

Dear people of this land, Chenthamara is walking along

...from the roaring and crashing waves The girl who catches flapping fresh fish

The darling daughter of the sea Here comes Chenthamara

Chenthamara, a terror to sardines and mackerel is now slowly moving forward

Chenthamara!

Brother, do one job at a time Otherwise this is what will happen

This is the 2nd bottle today Staring at Pushpa'echi all the time

You don't lose anything, do you? Just mind your own work

lf you act too smart l'll send you away

Even if you send me away l'll tell her everything

lt's 2 years and you haven't been able to tell her

When you meet her you stammer 4 times more

A love letter would have solved it But she can neither read nor write

Didn't l draw the sym bol of love? What happened then?

This is lying here, like a monument of love

You will live the rest of your life stammering

Your future father-in-law is coming

My dear, no use watching over this shop Go out into the sea, like Thamara

At least your photo will be published in the papers

lf you drink like this it'll be your photo in the papers

Just give me Rs 50, my girl

l have to account for it to my boss

Every time l ask, this is what you say

What sort of a daughter are you?

Deepam!

Dad, you look like a film star

Oh my dearest son! Just wait l will soon act in movies, okay?

When will that be?

l've been hearing this ever since we started acting in plays together

You wait and see This time it will happen

Mom , why did you stop acting in dramas?

- Who will look after you, my son? - Dad!

Anybody would think she was looking after that kid

Are others just lazing around here?

Started!

When you have decided to marry a Christian boy...

...you must learn to live like them

lt's so many years since she's come, has she learnt our way of life?

- By evening she'll light up that torch! - Be quiet, my sis-in-law

Saramma, if l don't say what l feel l will not be able to sleep

When you remain a spinster you get jealous when you see others

Appacha, don't deliver your drama dialogs to me, okay?

My feet bear calluses of step-dance l've danced before you were even born

Do you want to see?

Enough!

lsn't it because Saraswati never answers you back, you act too smart?

Saraswati? Call her Mary, my boy

Why else was she renamed Mary?

l will call her what l please Aunty, you mind your own business

Let her say what she wants Why don't you be quiet, brother?

Actually she's quite okay lt is his torture that's unbearable

l don't have to live at the mercy of Alleppey Appachan, l am leaving

Have dinner, it's ready

Make it into balls and stuff them down your son's throat!

She's got place to sleep with Thamara That's why she is so arrogant

See this? l'll leave it here Read it whenever it is convenient

Don't you want to know what the papers have written about what you taught me?

What happened? Did you quarrel today also?

When my brother Vakkachan died l lost everything, isn't it, dear?.

Now people just shunt me around

So who shunted you today?

Why must l tell you? You all belong in 1 team , isn't it?

Oh, l got it, Appchan'chetan is the defendant right?

Maarivillin The rainbow...

Started...his murderous cry!

When he wanted to marry that Nair girl l was the only one who didn't object

Do you know why? l know the value of love

l too loved someone, l still do

Oh that reminds me, there was a radio announcement...

...that some people from Sri Lanka were being released from jail and sent home

Do you think amongst them will be your Raphaelutty'chetan?

God knows! Anyway what does it matter now?

Let him come At least we can lie together

Let me tell you a fact my experience taught me

When you are still charm ing you m ust get yourself a man

lf you wait, then you'll wait forever

Thamara, tell us if you are scared to sleep alone

lf l was, l'll call your mother for com pany

That's shut him up!

Who's out there to chase away our fears?

Veroni aunty 'l love you' Pah! Oh God, my back just got a catch

When is your next drama schedule?

Next week only, it isn't like old times

When in the KPAC troupe it was 2 shows daily

Now the sea is better than work on shore

Yesterday we didn't get a good haul Just Rs 300 per share

Look, he's come to see you off Don't look

Actually he doesn't trouble me at all Doesn't utter a word

Stands like a lam p post on routes l take

Why don't you give him a life then?

But do l have a life to give, Appacha?

You are requested to clear your arrears within 7 days

They are asking you to return the loan with interest in 7 days

- lf l don't close the loan? - Nothing, they'll close you up in jail

Master, aren't you going to continue with your idea of ruining kids' future?

Her comments will be worse since she's never seen a school

Don't tease her, okay?

Remember when there's a storm we shift to the school?

She sat in the 8th grade then

She cooked dinner in the 9th grade And slept in the 10th grade classroom

- lsn't that right? - Correct

Oh master is very happy

Father has said to keep count of fish That was enough for a girl going to sea

lf there's anything else to learn you teach me, l will pay you

l don't do it for money Just happy to impart knowledge

You vent it out on kids the m isery of not becoming a teacher

My misery of not becoming a film star l vent it out on drama

On second thoughts, isn't everyone venting out...

...their frustrations of life, one way or the other, Mohana?

- lsn't this a dialog from a drama? - No, it is not!

- Yes, it is - Look, what he's saying Thamara

Where is our Sarangi?

He's playing cards, refuses to come

- Oh l see! Let me call him - Go

- Have you caught it? - Right now

This won't end now, l'm sure

Sarang'chetta, the surf is ready Come soon, let's get our boat in

You carry on, l'm on leave today

Leave? You think the sea is a Government office?

lf you don't come, l'll mess up the game

Let the game continue, go mind your business, my girl

How can the boy who has to throw nets play here?

My dear Thamara, please go away

Here, its 8 of clubs, don't throw away 4 of spades

Look don't give signals, we are playing for money

Just come with me

What the hell did you do? Messed up my game, immoral girl

- What did you call her? - No, leave him

She spoilt my game when l was supposed to gain Rs 150

- ls your problem solved with 1 50? - Yes

Give me that money

- Now is your account closed? - Yes, of course

Now l have to settle m ine for pushing me down...

...and calling me names

Now that score is settled

Just because l join you in a game

...don't you dare be nasty with my friends, you pig!

Hey you girl, just because you have some boys supporting you, don't preen

No wonder you are an orphan

lt's the fault of your birth that your parents died

Don't think a photo in the paper changes anything

Whoever boosts your image you remain an orphan, just an orphan

- You...! - Thamara, let them say what they want

We also didn't go to sea because you came back

Why get upset at nasty comments some unim portant fellow makes?

l'm not upset, when l sit gazing at the sea, it feels...

...like dad and mom are close by

You live like a smart flapping fish, such sadness doesn't become you

Just think how upset l should be?

A dad who gets drunk and digs up sand

...earning a pet name 'mud digger'

A mother who ran away with a broker and got labeled an adulteress

A sister who people expect to go the same way like her mother

Am l not happy in spite of all these issues?

- Hey! Thamara laughed - That's enough, let's go

We like Chenthamara who never gets cowed down by anything

After all, you have caught many giant fishes from the sea like us

Like Veroni aunty says, you can't allow Suku's 'dialog' to beat you!

We'll find you a groom, who has parents and siblings

Then you'll have a big family

You can be sure you'll get that boy...

...but he has only a dad and sister, no mother

- Why? - My mother eloped, didn't she?

Aiyyada!! !

Catch him, l say!

The sun has risen, adorned with red vermillion

South wind plays on drums, in accompaniment

The sun has risen, adorned with red vermillion

South wind plays on drums, in accompaniment

The seashore full, like armies in battlefield Festival of Pooram all set for celebration

lnaugurated with bushels of paddy

The sun has risen, adorned with red vermillion

South wind plays on drums, in accompaniment

Red eagle don't you dare eye my child

There's no fish on these shores for you to peck

Lovely dragon fly, it's festival time at the temple

There are hundreds to bear the lamps with you

Come silently, let the flowers and river not know

Without that smile fading, unseen by the shores

Mischievous one you don't know

Mischievous one, didn't you know there's someone to give you an anklet, too

The sun has risen, adorned with red vermillion

South wind plays on drums, in accompaniment

The seashore full, like armies in battlefield Festival of Pooram all set for celebration

lnaugurated with bushels of paddy

The sun has risen, adorned with red vermillion

South wind plays on drums, in accompaniment

Hibiscus flowers laughing against breeze from trees

On these shores, here on its sands, came tomes to feast

Beating drums and rhythmic claps for my queen

Champak and marigold arrayed in floral patterns

With graceful gait and sweet innocent words Come with the radiance of a golden smile

l shall welcome you with a band and bugle calls

Hey all you in your homes and friends note

Hey all you in your homes, friends take note

Festivities and celebrations are all over now

The sun has risen, adorned with red vermillion

South wind plays on drums, in accompaniment

The seashore full, like armies in battlefield Festival of Pooram all set for celebration

lnaugurated with bushels of paddy

The sun has risen, adorned with red vermillion

South wind plays on drums, in accompaniment

Help! All of you please come Someone's drowning in the sea

PRlMARYHEALTH CENTRE

We've done our duty

lt's not prudent to stay here any more

All those who are involved in this will be harassed

The nurse has asked one of us to stay, isn't it?

- Let Thamara wait, we'll leave - We are leaving, okay

- Haven't seen this old man here? - Doesn't belong here, eh?

Why do such fellows come to our shore to die?

Yes, notice what a pauper he is? Not even a gold chain on his neck

Did you look for that in between all this?

Of course, what do you think?!

But got something worth the trouble

Look, a gold ring Found it on his finger

You are terrible, da

You even look for jewelry on dead bodies inside the sea, don't you?

How is he, sister?

He's conscious but refuses to tell his name and address

l have to fill up the medical chart, isn't it?

Just write something for the time being

Then you suggest

Write Shankaran

You have to buy these medicines from a pharmacy

Also, get him a dress

- l'll kick you - Can't you see?

Move aside

Look, Thamara is here

We just came to know Who is the guy?

Don't know anything about him

How does he look?

ls he still flapping? Or ready for the ice?

- He's conscious now - Did he say anything?

Nurse says he hasn't uttered a word

Just give him a couple of punches He'll sing like a parrot

- Be quiet! He's not caught for robbery - Can't be too sure

Suppose he jumped into the sea with gold bars fearing the Customs?

- ls that a possibility? - Looks like a poor old man

Anyone who looks like her dad she's immediately sympathetic

l blurted my father's name for entering in medical records

Then we are done for!

lt's on the same shore that dad was washed away

Don't undertake troubles like this Try to get away as soon as possible

Can l throw away a life l just saved? lf so, l could've let him die in the sea

- My dear, Thamara- - She has a point

lf we undertake something we should see it to the end

l can't stay till that old man's end l got my drama performance this evening

l didn't mean that

You tell us what we should do?

Medicines and dress need to be purchased

ls that all? Come

Shouldn't we take a look at his body?

Saranga, only a corpse is called a body

Then what about body building?

All those who go to the gym are corpses, eh?

Master, stop taking tuition, okay? Let the boat go!

They say, he doesn't look like someone who goes out to the sea

So he couldn't have fallen off a boat accidentally

Terrorism is mostly along the sea Could it be something to do with that...?

No, he's only an old man

Osama Bin Laden was also an old man

Would he belong to the Tigers...?

Thakathunuthai!

lf so, there'll be a cyanide capsule hanging from his neck

But there are no Tigers now

But l did see, a picture of a tiger that got out of the Rann forest

Pushpa, don't interfere in intelligent discussions

l think it is an attempted suicide

A 'suicide attention'

My dear Chandra, by the time you finish...

...l'll return from my committee meeting

Leave it, my dear fellow!

Don't all of you gang up to tease that poor chap, okay?

Why this laughter?

My dad fully drunk was digging sand

He'd have died under my cycle

How can l not laugh at that?

Dee! Get me 1 0gms of size 1 thread...

l'll pay you tomorrow

My boss has warned me not to give on credit

No need to be so honest, you can,to your own brother

Boss has denied credit particularly, if it was to father and brother

Whoever marries her will save a fortune!

How is that old man in the hospital, Saranga?

Discharged from the hospital

Thamara is quite mad

She's taken him home saying he has no one

Let me go ask her?

- You won't give me the thread, right? - No

Let me see you come home for fish curry, okay?

l don't want fish curry, okay!

- Didn't you hear, Veroni aunty? - What, da?

There's a man waiting for you at Thamara's house

Who?

That old man they say has escaped from jail and come from Sri Lanka

They say he could be your Raphael'etan

Oh God! Can this be true?

What are you thinking?

What are you so deep in thought about?

Why did you rescue me?

Oh, so you had really set out to die eh?

lsn't it wrong to take away the life God has given us?

l don't have a life at all so what can God take?

lf we are of no use to anyone we m ust ourselves leave this earth

Who are you useless to? Wife or children?

l have only one answer to all questions...death

The sea is still there in front of me

l can go without being a burden to anyone

Don't trouble me with such questions

l am prepared to die!

Okay, l won't ask anything hereafter

l too don't have any kith or kin

Anyone would feel sad in such times

God brings us someone at those times

lsn't that why he brought you here? Someone like a father to me

Here after you need not go anywhere

An orphan like me has an orphan father for company

Stop thinking of killing yourself and sit here like a good boy

Doctor has ordered you to have only broth

Let me go and make it

- Can l ask you? - What?

Can you at least tell me your name?

Kumara Panikkar, they call me KP

- KP...do you eat fish? - Yes

That's good, unlike Saraswathi'echi over there

- ls your name Raphaelkutty? - No! Oukadhankutty

Sorry, m istook you for someone else

Stop laughing and tell me what the matter is, Joseph

Do you see a bright halo encircling the back of my head?

Yes, l do

Got hold of me while l was walking on the sea shore last evening...a devil

l am possessed, Father No one believes me

l do believe you l'll set it right for you, okay

Close your eyes, Joseph

Oh merciful Lord who asked the Satan to go far away...

...may HE chase away demonic possessions in this body

Go away, Satan!

Do you feel better?.

Yes, l feel fine

Now, no dead soul will come anywhere near you

You can walk across any cemetery without fear

l am very happy, Father

Don't laugh too much with happiness, okay?

Okay, Father

Why are you laughing now?

Are you also possessed by the same devil?

Do such things really exist, Father?.

Yes to those who believe in it

For those who don't, they don't exist

This is his regular problem

Every now and then, he thinks he's possessed

Once he is convinced, it is chased away

For a long time after that, he has no problems

- ln psychiatry this is called... - Yes

You won't understand What's wrong with him?

He's suffering from cold and fever at night

Nothing serious We'll set him right easily

What our Thamara did was really admirable

To sym pathize with people all around her

To help isolated people, she is really a role model for us

That's true

Look, don't spit it out because it's bitter

Will you?

- No - Good boy

- Where are you going? - To dump him some where

She's taking me to a movie

Thamara wait, pay me the installment

l don't have to come to your house

Will l get lucky at least this month, Bhaskar'etta?

Lots drawn this month will surely be in your favor

l heard you'd adopted an old man?

Not adopted, lost and found

lf the owners come claiming l'll have to return him

After a certain age who wants such oldies?

Thamara, go home quickly

People have gathered there The old man is in trouble

We'll go only after a solution is found

Please brother, let's see what we can do

What is there to see?

What Mohan master says makes sense

We'll think about it

There's nothing to think

- He cannot fool around like this - What happened to KP?

Nothing happened to KP Only to these people

They put out their nets to dry KP has made that contraption with it

Who are you looking for in beautiful flower gardens

Oh God!

My lovely Mynah, come to me

Get off, if you fall your back will break

Get away, kids

What in heaven have you done? Are you playing with their fishing nets?

lt was lying on the ground which nobody wanted, my dear

lt was not unwanted lt was spread out to dry

How do l know that?

Do you know how much money it costs?

As if l did it deliberately

l asked out aloud twice, if this had an owner

No one answered

You destroy our nets and justify yourself, eh?

You are an old man or l would have clobbered you

Who is old?

Where did you get him?

A weeks toil is ruined and on top of it he talks nonsense

lt's you who's talking rubbish

They are all ill-mannered people, my dear

An old man made a mistake being ignorant about boats and nets

ls this any way to behave?

What do you want now? The cost of this, right?

You can take this ring Where is my ring?

Where is my ring, l say?

Must have gone fishing!

My ring...ring

Don't worry, l'll pay for the repair expenses

We are prepared to leave it only for your sake

Come, come

This old man better be left where you first found him

Today the nets, tomorrow he might slit someone's neck

Unable to figure out this man Doesn't confide anything also

There's a way

Before the next scene of this drama unfolds...

...we'll know the true story about this old man

Mohana, do you know a fact about toddy?

A little goes in and all secrets come out

Let's hope so

Just wait and see

lf that old man doesn't blurt out the truth today...

...you can change my name from Alleppey Appachan to any other

Don't think we'll change it and give you a better name

Get lost, da!

Forget all that, let's go there like as if we are celebrating

Oh little breeze that comes singing among the bamboo forests

Come swing on the flowering tendrils of dense creepers, oh little breeze

Here's the glass, all set up

Take that curry

Fantastic fresh evening-toddy Want one?

- What did you say your name was? - Appachan

His own son calls him by his name, Appacha (dad)

Appacha, l usually don't take this stuff

Aiyo! We got it so you could be happy KP

Who told you toddy brings you happiness?

Just bloats your stomach

- ls brandy available? - Whaaat?!

So you do take, eh? Scared me out of my wits!

Govt earns tax, so occasionally like a conscientious citizen...

...l do, a little

My father is then a true citizen because all the time, he's fully drunk

We can have brandy next time For now, drink this

Pure coconut toddy is good for health

Of course! Very healthy!

Let it go in, here

Doesn't he drink?

Women here don't drink!

lf l'm labeled a woman for not drinking l'll bear that tag

lf there's one well behaved boy on these shores, it's our Mohan master

Master? What subject do you teach?

Nothing like that, any subject that falls into his net

Now-a-days its sardines and mackerels

Oh like that, eh?

They just tease me because l attempted a Teacher training course

Be friends with fools

So that you can call yourself a genius

- Take it - Yes, yes

Oh wild west wind, lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud

l fall upon the thorns of life, l bleed

Oh wah! Wah!

What a meaningful poem, eh?

But he has not recited it the way l wrote it

Stop fooling around and get to our plans

That's right

Mohana, Saranga, don't think l'm saying this lightly

You are both my friends, but KP is a dearer friend

There's some bond between us

He's my friend too, he told us his age immediately

He's become one of us so quickly

But he does not share the same attachment

He has still kept a small distance between us

No don't say that, no distance

How can you call someone a friend...

...who doesn't confide in you?

What do you want to know?

Who is KP? From where has he come etc, right?

l have given my word, l won't ask l don't want to know anything

But l want to know

All of us want to know Why did you jump into the sea?

Tell us if you think we are not strangers any more

Why did you set out to die?

lf l did not, he'd have killed me

Then you could have died when he killed you

No, he must not kill me

lf he does as per lPC 302, he will go to jail

His wife and kid will be left all alone

Do you have to love your killer?.

How can l not love him?

lf he's my one and only son?

Own son killing his father...?

That's nothing new, don't you read the papers?

Son kills a dad, son kills a mother

A mother who kills her kids

A father who kills his daughter

Bonds of blood have no place in life

Anyone can kill anybody

l will come back only after meeting film director Lal Jose

Appacha, drop a donation at the church before you leave, okay?

Okay, aunt

At least then, your drama won't be hooted down

Kumara Pannikker in church kneels and draws a cross, eh?

- l forget your name - Appachan

All Gods and tem ples are places where man unburdens himself

You have a drama performance, right? Yes, at Haripad

- Praise be to the Lord - Amen!

Father, he is the one staying with Thamara

l got to know all about it

...but couldn't get to introduce myself

What's your name?

Kurien Paulose People call me KP

She's lost her father You take his place now, KP

True, she was the one who convinced me

...that blood relation is not im portant to form bonds

She is truly my own daughter

KP, what about your fam ily?

l have everyone, but l really, don't have anyone

l have 6 sons

What do they do?

l thought l was blessed when l got 6 sons

But daughters are the best, to love and be loved

l am now getting love and affection

...from a girl who is like my own daughter

You carry on, l am in a hurry

Father! Wait

l don't understand Which story is true?

Yesterday's or today's?

What did l say yesterday?

You told us you had only 1 son and he was trying to kill you

When?

When we drank toddy on the beach

Toddy!...is a drunken declaration or a sane one, more believable?

So what's your real name?

Kumara Pannikker or Kurien Paulose?

What does it matter? Are you getting me married?

Let Hindus call me Kumara Panniker and Christians call me Kurien Paulose

Both initials are KP

'Racist'

Acts in dramas like this No wonder he questions religion!

l like people who speak the truth

l am the one who insisted you stay here

Why lie to me?

l thought you'd be upset if l belonged to a different religion

Do we live with love and affection after finding out the religion?

After her father's dem ise l'm the one keeping her com pany

ls it because she was a Christian?

My Appachan has married a Hindu woman

Wow! ls your father (appachan) still alive?

Not father, Alleppey Appachen My nephew

We don't consider religion here

But anyway it's good you are a Christian

Only Christians are friendly by nature

ls it?

My dear, l cannot sleep here any more

This old man is fishy

Oh yes, of course! lsn't she sweet 1 7?

To cross this ocean a lifetime You are the boat that will help me

You are my consolations kind words ease my pain

Where ever you are Don't forget the earth you were born to

Like beautiful fish of New Year and lovely Thiruvani bower

Strong like the love, a fisher girl has let your heart always bear, my dear

Oh dark rain bearing winds, go away Don't hover over and rain, just run away

Aren't you the pearl, mother sea found to nurture

when she turns tumultuous, won't my little pearl cry

Just go away, oh west wind clouds

Oh dark rain bearing winds, go away

KP?

Where could he have gone?

Saranga, did you see KP?

- Where did he go? - lf l knew that, why must l ask you?

Tell me, what's the matter?

She's been frantically searching for him today

- Did you search in the sea? - Why?

Suppose he did something untoward?

Be quiet! Don't speak nonsense

- Why are you looking up? - ln case he's hanging somewhere

He had gone to the saloon to read the newspaper

But our co operative society secretary says he saw him go

...with some people in a taxi

Taxi?

Suppose he was taken away by his children or relatives?

l too felt that

But will he leave without telling Thamara?

Let him go!

ln a way it's better to be alone

Get off now

- KP - Hello!

- How much? - Rs 700

Keep the change, Rs 300

My friends have come Now give them the bags

- Where were you, KP? - l went to the town

Shall we take leave, KP?

Wait, l can't let you go em pty handed

...after spending so much time with me

Take 500, go for a movie and coffee

A new movie is released, 'A kiss for dad'

Don't ever go watch that film

My son Philip produced it lt's bound to be bad

Kicked out his own father and makes a movie...'A kiss for dad'!

Go

Come

KP, is film producer Philip, your son?

Don't tom-tom it around now People will come in search of me

Why don't we have tea?

Thamara is sitting there all worried

But l had to meet my son We are anyway going back to her, isn't it?

- KP sir, we'll hold it for you - l can handle it, don't bother

lf you are going out, say so Don't torture me like this

What did you think? That l jum ped into the sea again?

l went to town to buy all this

l remembered Kunjukunju when l reached the town

Kunjukunju is the son of my son, Xavier

The one running the stabilizer company

He and l are great friends l went to meet him at school

l know you'll leave us once your own folks come for you

Nothing like that will happen

l haven't seen the touch of love in this world of modernity

l have seen it only amongst you So, this is my only world, hereafter

Here hold this

KP bought all of this for you, my girl

He went to town in a taxi to buy all this

Take them

l heard you telling someone that it was your birthday today

All these are birthday gifts from your father

l don't know what you like So l got you random stuff

See there's a cake too, Black forest

lt's what we buy for Kunjukunju's birthday also

This is your 1 st birthday with me

lf l can't celebrate it in style, why do l call myself your dad?

This is the 1 st time l'm having such an occasion

Did you know KP is a millionaire?

He is father of Philip sir the producer

...of Golden Movies fame

His bank account must be overflowing

You should have seen the way he spent money out of his pocket!

He gave that taxi Rs 300 as tips and the other fellows Rs 1 00 each

Yes, when my pockets are full l give everyone generously

And when the need comes we get as much in return also

Today when l was wondering what to do for her birthday

...that fellow comes and gives me the money

Rs1 0,000 was spent beautifully

Which Rs1 0000?

Your money of course! Remember, saved in installments?

But how can you spend her money?

What does money matter between dad and daughter?

Here is the balance Rs 350 Spend it carefully

So we can happily cut the cake, right?

Now sing happily and wish her a 'Happy Birthday'

Happy Birthday (tuned to a funeral song)

There is nothing more to think

They say marriages are made in heaven

Look how l came to know of your search for a bride

And his rejection of so many girls

- All destined by God - True

The house and surrounding bit of land is in her name

l don't take credit

But which other girl goes fishing in the deep sea?

That's why we were also interested

We'll wait here Time she returned

Look there! She is the girl

Don't feel shy Look properly

KP seems to have company

Wonder what he's up to

What's happening...new friends?

We were waiting for you to come, my dear

Haven't seen them here before

We actually belong to Trikkunnapuzha We've settled here recently

Aren't you the family who bought Vishwambaran's house

Yes

You mean the one behind our Kallappan's shop?

- What's the haul today? - Sardines

- How far do you spread your nets? - Around 35 units

Which is your boat?

'Rising sun', we own it

We've bought a new loop net Tomorrow is its inauguration

Why did you come back so early?

We saw dark clouds gathering south east, so l suggested we return

- Then carry on - Go, my dear

l liked her

- Then let's fix it - Fix what?

Didn't you realize?

A marriage proposal took place And the boy just met the bride to be

This is the boy and this, his uncle

Come, what about the other formalities?

We can't make demands Everything is as you wish

That's fair enough

Apart from the girl's assets l will buy nets and boat for the groom

Very happy! Let us take leave now

l will come to fix it later

How much do you think a new net and boat will cost?

How m uch?

A m inimum of Rs 1 5 lakhs

Look here, she does not have Rs 1 5 lakhs invested, okay?

Was that a dig at me?

Just because l spent that 10000 This ring alone...

Don't break that finger now

Catching that finger for every little expense

Even if it is 20 lakhs my word is for keeps

l'll give it for sure

Where is he off to?

l don't think Thamara will go away from here

Why?

She needs someone who will live with her here

lt should not have been fixed without her permission

lt's not too late

Let's go find out her opinion, come

- That's correct - Yes

l think it sounds good ln any case, she needs a partner

Will any Tom, Dick or Harry be okay?

What's wrong with that guy?

Looks handsome also, doesn't he?

How can you say that? He is not at all the boy for her

You may not get another one like me

Let her adjust with whatever comes her way

KP says he'll buy a boat and net as dowry All that is impractical

We'll explain to them that only the house and land is available

lf they like the girl dowry is not a problem

lt will become an issue as time goes by

Let us find out what Thamara has to say

What is your opinion?

All my decisions have always been taken by all of you, so go ahead

Whether you say yes or no l will listen to you

What's wrong with this fellow?

- Didn't you realize? - No

Once Thamara gets married, the burden of looking after KP will be his

Did you hear?

The boy's mother refused KP's marriage proposal for you

Why are you so overjoyed my marriage proposal got cancelled?

Not happiness, l'm panting after cycling

What happened?

Where did you go in the middle of the night?

Nothing! l was sleepless, go sleep, my dear

Wait there, catch him

What did we do? Tell us why you are taking us

Get going

Please don't do anything l have stomach pain

What are we accused of?

You dare burn up their boats for rejecting the marriage proposal, eh?

Get in

lNTERVAL

ln my opinion what KP did was correct Those outsiders deserve it

Propose marriage and agree to it Later just back out of it

Not his boat house His house should have been burnt

l am with KP in this case

Thakathunithai!

You can easily say this But our boys got beaten up

KP accepted his crime Then why should they beat your boys?

l was talking about the time before he did it

lt was Fr Michael who saved them a visit to the police station

Wait there, my girl

Your mother's fault, that so many proposals for you have been lost

Did l burn any one's boat shed for that?

Why?

You can't go near fire, you are full of inflammable stuff

Weddings always are unpredictable they should happen unexpectedly

Why? Are they fire works?

l feel miserable that the old man got our boys being beaten up

Thakathunithai!

What about your own son?

l am happy about that

What l couldn't possibly do the police did

Secretary, what compensation should we give?

The boats are safe, only the shed needs to be rebuilt

That is also Thamara's headache now

Wonder what got into you Now l must bear the consequences

lf you have anything to say, don't mumble

lf you have anything to say, don't mumble

You don't have to throw vessels to get rid of your anger

So you do realize that your actions invoked anger

Everyone has a right to be sad and angry

l set fire to it because l was angry

Don't you think that was wrong?

Don't you think it was wrong to throw vessels?

l am throwing my vessels l paid for

ls it the same as burning someone else's property?

Do you think it's possible for me to build them a shed?

And then burn it?

Don't argue, after your arrival there's been so many problems

1 st the nets are torn up, you splurged my money

Now you've got everyone caught in the police station

The nets l adm it was ignorance, but 'the chit fund' money was for you

Okay, l agree it was all my fault l have assets worth millions

But what's the use, l live like a beggar

l regard you only as my daughter

When they rejected the proposal l wanted to take revenge

Do you know what they said about you?

They don't trust the moral character of a girl who's been living alone

Not to bundle their son with a girl who went around with men

l wanted to kill them

lf l didn't do even this m uch, then l don't consider you my daughter

Now l am convinced you don't see me as a father

l am just a watchman here for you Just a watchman

ls the watchman sitting sulking or watching over the sea?

Oh God! l have a deaf mute as a watchman

Hey! Look at me Why are you glaring at me?

- Shouldn't we have dinner?. - l don't want

l generally give dinner to my watchmen

Get up

- l mean it when l say no - Don't act too smart KP

You are imagining things

Do l run a bank or treasury to have a watchman?

l am very hungry, get up and come without wasting time...get up!

l said l don't want

Fine! l'll throw everything into the sea

Let's both starve

lf you are stubborn so can l l won't drink a drop of water

Fine! l have no intentions of listening to your ranting...

...and eating what you've cooked

- Let us see! - Sure, so be it

l haven't conceded defeat l will be the 1 st to die if we starve

l don't intend giving you that pleasure

How can you sit and hog without calling me?

Why should l? A boss won't sit and dine with his watchman

But this boss will, do you know why?

Her own father is her watchman!

Don't butter me up

You feel l am only a nuisance to you

Not just feel You really are!

When we go out to the deep sea some waves and wind are a nuisance

But fishing in spite of all that is a great feeling

l like some of those nuisances

- Father! - Walk, why are you standing here?

Where are you taking us, father?

You can be sure it's not to the cemetery

Come with me

Shouldn't we get back your old body?

That ayurvedic man's massage was worse than the policeman's punches

We'll have to do it this whole week

Aiyo!

We m ust agree, our policemen are very strong

- How are you? - Great! What pleasure

Same pleasure l got when the Chenganasherry drama...

...was canceled and the organizers manhandled us

Thamara, please don't misunderstand

Shall we have a few more like KP amongst us?

My girl, you may have got a father

But at this rate our fathers will lose their sons

lf you wanted a father of your own couldn't you simply adopt mine?

And there are so many more on the beach

Here comes an original father too

What's done is done Why keep blaming her?

But Thamara, l think that old man is more of a nuisance than help

lt is better you send him away without appearing to be rude

That's true

No Father, l will make sure KP doesn't get into trouble again

She's bent on getting us murdered

Come, there's work to do

Pushpa'echi will come here on her way to open the shop

You must tell her now

What shall l tell?

Do l have to spell it out?

Either say l love you or ask her if she'll marry you

l'll say both, l love you and if she'll agree to marry me

Okay, say it without stammering like you did now

She's coming, l'll hide here

Why are you standing here, Chandra'etta?

- l lo...l lo...( aila mackerel) - Oh! You've come to buy aila, is it?

No, kal...kal...kalyanam...(marriage)

lf you can't say l love you correctly you don't deserve to fall in love

Thank God! Pushpa'echi doesn't sell fish or you'd have got a basket of fish too!

- How is your head? - Ma...ma...( it's better )

- He says it has become numb - ls it?

No, l wanted to say its better

Whose marriage were you talking about?

That will not happen anymore, Pushpa'echi

So why don't you get on with your work?

l am a fool to bring 2 dim wits together

The pain has not completely gone

Fr Michael's medicine will last another 2 days

After that the pain will reduce

But this time, KP really put us in trouble

Everyone has their faults

At least he loves Thamara to jump to her defense like this

See? She likes that old man who got her husband beaten

...more than she loves her husband

lf you sit near those twigs, someone might mistakenly put you into the fire

Oh, look at his irritation when l comment about his queen!

Saraswathi is right, if that old man gives happiness to Thamara...

...we must put up with some of his antics

Sure we will!

You've always put Thamara before all of us in such issues, right, mother?

l was not born to her, but she's my mother

lf she was your mother and that old man your father

...do they make a married couple?

Stop talking rubbish!

Just a doubt, that's all

That missing Raphael'chetan must have actually run away...

...fearing this one would hook him for life

Get lost! He was truly in love with me, like in the movies

Didn't you say that old man's son was a film producer?.

Why don't you try for a chance through him?

True! Let's see if KP can be of use instead of the pain he usually is

l asked you something for the 1 st time

KP, you have to do it for Appachan chetan somehow - Yes

He has been nursing this am bition for a long time

Also, it's a chance for you to condone getting us beaten by the police

This might even lead to a reconciliation with your family?

Suppose, seeing your acting skills they start quarrelling even more?

Don't sulk, you have to put up with such situations

l am not such a bad actor

All who belonged to KPAC are now film stars

KPAC Sunny, Lalitha, Umer

lt is KP, Umer

For you Alleppey Appachan may be inconspicuous

But in the world of drama l am well-known

lt will be a full house when they know the drama has Alleppey Appachan in it

May be to beat you up

l don't want a chance in his son's film

- Mohan, l am going - lt was just a joke

l want to know if you can do something, KP?

You don't realize their true nature

Have they come looking for me after so long?

ls it because it was impossible? They don't want me, that's why

Even if they don't want you, we want you

And if you are insulted we'll bear with it

KP, your words will alter his life

Okay, since you are pleading so much, l must not refuse

Appachan, go meet them and tell them l sent you

Enough

l will do the rest with my glib talk

You rascal!

We have visited locations and shooting is fixed for next week

Release is scheduled for Christmas No dude, we'll discuss it

Greetings

Sir, l am Alleppey Appachan

2 years l was in KPAC, now with Mahatma Theatres

lf it is for a role, come to the location Shooting has already begun

Sir, KP-

On our way back l stopped at our company office

We had to dispatch a load

Thought we'll get him a haircut

Kunjukunju, do you want to act in your uncle's movie?

- There's a role just right for you - No

Don't say that, Kunjukunju

Look, l too will act with you, now just say yes

No

He's got a photogenic face You have to compel him, sir

He will be a 'super star' in future? ls he the only one?

No, he has an older brother

Aren't you the stabilizer company owner?

- Yes - l thought so

Come to the location Now please leave

l will, but before that l must tell you this

l am here because your father Kurien Paulose recommended me

We are close friends now

l also know your problems Which family does not have them?

KP speaks very highly of you He's even told us about Kunjukunju

l am telling you this since you are his children

He is in our custody now

- Get out! - Sir!

Sir, l didn't mean custody in that sense

We have not kept him forcibly

He tried to commit suicide

We rescued him and made him stay with us

Now he's hale and hearty

Get out, without making a fuss Otherwise we'll call the police

All kinds of people walk in Get out, l say

You don't have to be agitated

You can take him back only if you want to

Otherwise we'll keep him with us

lf you give me a role l'll mediate and set things right

Get lost...you!

Now do you realize the nature of my children?

Are you convinced now why l'm staying back here?

They took away all l had saved up and threw me out like used vessels

You have to file a case against them

l did

l filed a case saying they must return all that l gave them

And that's when we turned bitter enemies

My younger son manhandled me too

That's when l decided to end myself in this sea

Chey! l was wrong We shouldn't have sent him

l don't want a role in their movie when they don't want their own father

l am glad l didn't get a chance like that

Don't worry, you have all the attributes of a star

lf you are destined you need not go in search

lt will come searching for you

-=Deathracer=-

Brother! They are shooting a film on our shores...

- ls it true? - Yes, it is

Appanchan'cheta!

Film shooting is happening here

- Really? - They've asked for our boat

Your role is assured, they want a person who can sail a boat

- Come - KP's words have come true

Thangapan'cheta, please take care of this

Quick! Let's go

A little to this side Okay

Hello, where are you running into?

Brother, that's our boat l'll tell you when to come

Hello! Costume dept, give them costumes

Look! Murali sir

- Greetings - Come away...move

Please stand aside and watch

- We should have called Saranga also - He's with his father in the hospital

Take off your dress and wear these

Give it only to him l don't know to act

Take it, da, we'll just handle the boats like we usually do

This is all there is to acting

lf there's anything to be done l'll teach you

Here...remove their clothes

Shift those people from near the boats

- Move away - Sir

Give them their positions

Okay, sir Come with me

- Let's see the dialogs, 1 st - Okay, sir

Let's go in for a rehearsal Ready

Please

Those who know to sail the boat, stand this side

We are not enough in num ber to do that

Let's deal with it later

- Who can deliver dialogs? - He can, he's a drama artiste

- l was in KPAC and later... - Okay, okay, listen

The hero says, 'our lives are like the sea Sometimes angry and at other times calm'

Then you have to say, 'after a couple of drinks'

'...you are also like that, isn't it'?

All of you must laugh

Not now, after the dialog

- What's the dialog, sir? - 'After a couple-'

Come on, let's make it fast...ready

- Murali, are you ready? - Yes, ready, sir

Action

'Our lives are also like the sea At times angry and at times calm'

'After a couple of drinks you are also like that'

Come here, Satish

Do you know what happens in this scene?

The hero, a student of oceanography gets the boat into sea with his friends

- Does he look like his classmate? - Doesn't he?

He has to look like a college student

He must be younger

- Give the dialog to the other guy - Okay, sir

- Hello, move away a little - Let me teach him the dialog

- l will do all that - Please

Someone, please, send him away

He is a good actor

You can tell this dialog, 'After a couple of drinks...'

Sir, l used to be in KPAC

Sir, also in Sursoma Please, sir

- Be quiet! - The boat belongs to us, sir

- Take him away - Come this way

Get out, dude

2 years in KPAC 1 year in Sursoma

l've been an actor for 1 0 years

And still they don't want me

lt's okay, if not this you'll get another chance

Don't be unhappy

What the heck are you upto?

Walking away without returning our costume

l have to account for all this Remove it

Here...take your dhoti and shirt

You can keep your darn shirt and stuff

And if you don't speak respectfully you won't leave the shore in 1 piece

Get lost, you pig!

Take the slippers, dude

Oh God! ls it acting in an X-rated film?

- l didn't know it was you - Cut!

That was great! No one will say it's your debut

- What's your name? - Mohanan

- Cast him in the college scene - Sir, the next scene...

So finally the school master became a film actor

Be quiet, my girl! Film actor!!

What else do you call people who act in movies?

That's not my worry

My role is not over l must go to Ernakulam after 2 days

l am also in the college scenes

lf l go l can return only after 2 weeks

Fun has turned serious, eh?

l am least bit interested

l wish Appachan chetan gets my role

When talented people are out there why should people prefer me?

Why do you think like that?

They wouldn't take you if you weren't talented

You are plain lazy

2 weeks without fishing Leaving all of you...!

We will all remain here

You must go earn lots of money And don't forget us

l can't be too sure l may forget

Really? Then we'll come, put you in a boat and bring you back

You are just finding excuses for not going

Lazy master!

l have another worry

l told Appachan about going for the shoot

With tears in his eyes, he blessed me and walked away to the toddy shop

He has started drinking a bit too much after that incident

Let's ask KP to advise him

He will listen to KP

TODD Y

Anybody would feel sad and upset Were you not in KPCC for 2 years?

lt's KPAC

So many from KPCC are in films Why isn't Am balapuzha Appachan?

Alleppey Appachan

You are not just Alleppey You are actually Kerala Appachan

Mohanan who hasn't even watched a drama is now an actor

lt is unbearable indeed No one can bear this

l am not upset about him, KP He is our boy

l will teach him everything All the 9 expressions

- No, don't give them - l will

lf you do how will you act in dramas?

l'm not interested in drama or cinema here after

- Then pour out 1 more - l'll give all 9 expressions

l am not destined

Why else should my dad be hospitalized right at that time?

Why did he climb the coconut tree?

When he didn't have money to buy toddy he clim bed it to help himself

After drinking he walked out like he does in the toddy shop

And there he fell!

Now bandaged all over, he's lying like spider man

Anyone will laugh looking at him

''Snakes have homes just as birds have the sky, but...''

The advisor is also coming back crawling

What is all this, KP?

l am sad seeing his m isery

l have no m iseries He is my only hope now

l'll be known because of him now

l am your Guru hereafter

l will teach him all the secrets of acting

l have no idea You'll have to explain

l agree Do you know to love?

Da! Do you know?

l don't know how to show it

My dear Mohana, for your age you'll only get romantic roles

You must learn to sing and dance

lf not l'll teach you

For example think Thamara is your heroine

Who...me?

Just stand and give him support Let him learn

Now look at her with love filled eyes and walk

Chey! l will show you how

You come away

- You do it - No, l feel embarrassed

lf you are embarrassed with her how will you act with some stranger?

He needs lessons in basic love

My dear son, when you look at the girl you love...

...a powerful emotion will surge up

ln that surge some people will sing, some will recite poetry

Now just imagine you are filled with love

Did you...did you imagine? Now out with it

Let it come out

Across royal gates and stepping daintily into the royal abode, oh heavenly beauty

Across royal gates and stepping daintily into the royal abode, oh heavenly beauty

Renouncing your royal capital, seeking my ascetic abode,

Oh bewitching lady, why have you come, to enamor

Swarthy statue l was, royal sculptor that you be

Will you forsake royal ties, accept me as l come seeking thee

Across royal gates and stepping daintily into the royal abode, oh heavenly beauty

The night you created me out of your sculpture

Your heart with love suffused, beat in soft murmur

ln celestial abode you live, l drown in the ocean of creation

So far apart are we, between us, a chasm of separation

Consort of a florist, tender vine twining Amorous and lovely, a moon beam gliding

Oh my lord, devoid of emotions desirous My hands are, with no Veena to bequeath

Renouncing my royal capital seeking your ascetic abode

l come in search of you like a beautiful song of love

Across royal gates stepping daintily Why, step into my abode, oh heavenly beauty

An innocent pure statue that arose one evening

Bright against the setting sunlight, shining

As l rose in heights to stand like Ahalya(Mythical)

You are the Lords feet come to bless me

As much as memories were sweet and beautiful

Pangs of separation equally, unbearable and painful

Welcome in joy once more the happiness this union bestowed

Renouncing my royal capital seeking your ascetic abode

l come in search of you like a beautiful song of love

Across royal gates stepping daintily Why, step into my abode, oh heavenly beauty

Swarthy statue l was, royal sculptor that you be

Will you forsake royal ties, accept me as l come seeking thee

Shall l shorten it?

Saraswathi'echi wants it a close crop

Our Mohanan master's picture is not to be seen

He just went, didn't he? lt'll be published in the next issue

l don't think it'll ever happen after so many years

Don't bother saying it

Even if l feel ashamed l'll do it for you

- What? - Just wait and see

''Who will say it first?''

- Pushpa'echi - What is it, Mani?

l must tell you something

This is the boy

- lsn't your name Mani? - Yes, sir

Are you working in this soda factory?

- Yes, sir - Come

What is it, sir?

- The shop belongs to him - l see

You get into the jeep 1 st

They haven't done anything wrong Why are you taking them?

lt is for a crime which is prevalent for a while

Don't you know child labor is banned here?

We are activists from 'child line' Such things m ustn't happen anymore

Sir, Chandraettan looks after him like his own brother

He has no problems here

You can say whatever you want in court

Ask him to move that van

Catch that boy

Pushpa'echi, my brother likes you a lot

- Hey you! - He wants to marry you

He couldn't tell you this because of his stammer

- When did you come back? - l left my bag at home and here l am

- You really look like a cine actor - Do l?

But you said you'd come only after 2 weeks?

l have to go only after a few days Car driving is the next scene

l do have a license, but no practice So l said l'll practice and come back

Frankly, l am already fed up My heart is circling around here

How can you ride a cycle instead of a car?

There is a similar scene in the movie

Not me, but for the hero

He goes around the heroine in a cycle in the college campus

...to profess his love

- Like this - And then?

But he couldn't tell her

Before that the principal lands up

Does he finally tell her before the movie gets over?

Does he have to spell it out?

Both of them know their feelings for each other

But don't express it

This is not right

You can't figure out a girl's heart like that

lt need not be love

She could have someone else in m ind

Well, if you say so let it be Why should it affect me?!

l was talking about girls in general

l don't have the knack to understand everyone's heart

l was talking about the film Why are you getting angry?

l too was talking about it lf you feel it's not okay, leave it

Wait master, is it such a big mistake to express an opinion?

l just said that to irritate you

What you said was 100% right

The climax has a wonderful twist You will like that

He will cheat the heroine and marry someone else

Then l will strangle that hero like this

Wait, master

lt's a bad day for you, secretary

This is bigger Wear this and see

- Look! Who is this? - What kind of disguise is this?

When my son is in the movies shouldn't l dress accordingly?

Father too can now act in movies

Circus will be more apt

What are you grinning at?

l find this unbearably funny

- Am l standing naked? - That would have been much better

Go, mind your business

All are envious, my child

lf this is how it's going to be, l'll have to shift to the town

These devils can't bear to see fashion

- How is it? - Chey! Change out of that dress

- Don't embarrass me - lf you insist, l'll undress right here

- Hey no! - Leave me alone, da!

- Master, how's the driving lesson? - All that is fine

- Come, let's go for a spin - No, l won't

- Why? - Cars are meant for cine actors

- We poor people will manage with boats - Don't put up your price, just come

- No - Come here

l don't want to l feel embarrassed

What? For someone who goes out to the deep sea?

- You are getting in right now - No, master

Embarrassed, my foot!

Hey you!

KP, what are you doing?

Tell me, what's the matter?

- My dear! - KP!

This is not as simple as we thought

KP is a good, simple and pure soul

But he is not normal

Not normal? What do you mean?

He is a severe mental patient

ln spite of living with you, thank your stars

...he did not put you into any other serious danger

Violence and suicide are characteristic of such patients

lt is the love you gave like a daughter that he is still alive

We cannot take any more risks

You have met his sons, haven't you?

lnform and ask them to take him home as soon as possible

They are not very fond of him

When l mentioned KP's name they nearly beat me up

All that is their family issues

Father and sons, let them deal with it

Not only that, if some untoward incident happens you'll be answerable

ln my opinion you should yourself go and explain everything

- Appachan knows the house - l do, but they may not let me in again

l could have gone, but those film people asked me to reach Ernakulum today

- lt's alright, l will come - Father, it'll be a great relief

Father, have some tea

Mr Philip, you haven't answered my question

Will you come there or shall l bring him here?

Kurien Paulose is indeed our dad And all you've said so far is true

Ever since the partition of assets we had problems between us

Father himself filed a case for a sim ple issue and we also retaliated

When issues blew out of proportion we forgot the relationship between us

Our wrong doings can never be atoned in any confession session

Our father, a millionaire with 6 sons, died in an old age home

lt was around 6 months back Look there! He is our father

Because he claimed he knew our dead father, l got mad with him

lt is someone else, who was with you who knows all about us

Since he knows so many details could it be a relative?

No, l don't think there's anyone m issing

He 1 st told us his name was Kumara Pannikker

l do know a clerk to a lawyer who stays nearby

He's come here when dad was alive

Could he be the one?

We shall enquire that angle also

l'll kill everyone! Open the door!!

Open the door, l say!

Someone's come Please calm down

Let everyone know the tales of this house

Open the door

Nuisance

ls this Kumara Pannikker's house?

What do you want?

You are his...?

l am the son of that great man

The only son, most hated by everyone around

The one who's trying to kill his own father

Do you want any more info?

lf l don't die he will kill me

You haven't told me what you want

Have you come with a quotation (to kill)?

lf so tell me l'll do anything for money

l was turned into this by Kumara Panikker

Father, tell me is it a sin to love a Christian girl?

He refused to accept her, l was forced to marry another girl

She died the next day Will l ever be at peace?

Can you give me Rs 1 00? lt's urgent, l'll return it

Has he gone?

Sorry, if he behaved badly

- Kumara Pannikker...? - lt's me

These stories of my son trying to kill me...

l have told only my boss

My boss used to live in this house

Come

This is my boss Advocate Emmanuel

He was a very simple advocate And took up genuine cases only

He never charged the poor

Kurien Paulos case too was handled by him

As a close friend, Kurien Paulos used to narrate his woes to him

He used to accept and bear others' sorrow just like his own

My life and Kurien Paulo's life affected him very strongly

When he became mentally unstable...

...he must have thought those stories are his own

The weird play of the m ind of a mentally deranged person

But how did he become mentally deranged?

Look at that photo

lt's his daughter, Minikutty

The couple were childless for long

Finally God in His mercy gave them a daughter

But took away his wife

My boss was dad and mom to her as she grew up

She wanted to study engineering

She got a seat in a college in Coimbatore

He wanted her to study somewhere close by

But she was adamant and got her way

They went together for the interview

They were so happy

Pannikker, after the admission we'll go around the city and then return

- What about the court? - All that later

l won't be able to meet her once class begins

Did you wish her all the best?

l don't know to say such things

l heard it without him saying it That is more than enough

- Okay, that's enough - Okay, Pannikker

Now that admissions are over, are you happy?

- So happy - But l am not

- Why? - l'll be away from you

Daddy

lt's alright, l'll come and see you once a week, now get in

- l'll go to the ATM and come - What?

l'll get some cash from the ATM

l'll also come

No, you stay here, why cross the road?

l'll be right back

Who are you? Aiyo! Daddy!

- Don't shout - Take the vehicle

Hey you! My daughter

Hold him

With that he became completely deranged

He tried to commit suicide a couple of times

l admitted him to a nearby hospital

You saw the situation l am living in

l could not afford the hospital expenses

And had to bring him back

Just when l wanted to admit him in a Govt hospital, he went missing

Honestly, l too didn't take enough care

Probably it was because he found a daughter like you...

...he never came back

Hey! Your eyes are filled with tears?

l was upset not seeing you

That was why l was sulking

Nothing is wrong, giddiness and a problem with my eye

Father said we have to go to Vellore to test it, that's all

Thamara, father is calling you

l bet it is to make me drink another medical concoction

Go...go

Since he is already so old, it'll be tough to get back his memory

And things will get worse as days go by

My close friend Fr Simon runs a home in Vellore

Such patients are taken care and well looked after there

l have already made all arrangements to send him there

- Father, but... - l know you are upset

But we have to be practical

Just think everything is for the best

l wanted to take you along

But Father says women are not allowed there

Don't be upset l'll return soon

Who else is there for me to fight and sulk with?

l'll be right back Right back

A few days later

Come, come Fresh and flapping sardines

None of these are flapping, why?

Now they are resting for some time Why? Get lost man!

lf l go will they flap again?

Goodness gracious! ls Unnikandan working?

What happened?

Kanakamma is suffering from asthma

She just heaved this fish basket on to my head

- What else will l do? - Aiyo!

Look, this has come all the way from Srilanka

Shall l weigh some for you?

One blow...!! !

Hey! Look who's coming?!

Where are the newlyweds off to?

To her mother's house for a visit

Come

After getting Pushpa he's lost his stam mer, eh?

Flapping fish

What? Cine actor's dad selling fish?

Thanks to the effect of evil eye when the movie was released...

...he wasn't seen at all

His role was cut off l was told ls cinema a fish to chop it off?.

Every person is destined for a particular job

Every person is destined for a particular job

lf you work without interest, you'll never succeed

l haven't got as m uch money from films as l do from this fishing

There is no pleasure in my job

We all know what your pleasure is in working here

Films are not as good as a drama performance

There! That speaks of 'sour grape-ism'

Where is that wealth you brought back from Vellore?

You mean KP?

That's not his real name

Of course it is! Kalla Parisha (cunning rascal)

Look there he comes with troubles as usual

Oh Lord!

That is the girl

l will get a net and boat for the bridegroom

Stop, stop

Why give that boat and net to outsiders?

Just give it to me, right?

Yes, of course

- You guys, just take it as a joke - Okay, go

What the heck?!

KP cannot be left like this anymore, master

Why?

KP, have you see the beauties of the deep sea?

Middle of the deep sea?

Aiyo! l'm scared of the sea

Are you really? ls that why you jumped in once?

l did not have any other option then

We'll get rid of your fears for you

There are big sharks there

We'll show them to you, okay?

Octopus, sea elephant, ships that shoot at people and many such things

Come, come

Once, long ago my dad was scared to leave me alone on the shores

Now l too am scared to leave this m ischievous boy and go

- Come here - No

Wait there

Hold his leg

There you go

Don't jump

KP! Don't be afraid Aren't we all there with you?

On towards new shores in life
