'Adityapuram Palace 41 years ago'

- Vasudeva...? - Coming

- Vasudeva...? - Coming

Vasudeva

Yes, father?

They are about to open the treasury

My brother Mahendra Varma and his son Shekara Varma are opening it

All that wealth was hoarded and guarded by my father

While my father's brother and his sons chewed betel leaves and played chess...

now they want to claim equal share in the wealth

- Should I allow that? - No, don't, father

Then come with me

Srikrishna, let's go

Father, he's just a kid

I was only 13 when my hands held a weapon

He's younger only by a year, that's all

Come along

Don't be scared

Ravindra, let's not clash

I'm only following what your father,

my brother, instructed me before he died

Equal rights to the wealth inside this treasury

Absolutely not

The entire treasure belong only to me and my children

Thank you for opening the coffers

Come, my children

Stop, Ravindra Don't be autocratic

Mahendra, get out of my way

Ravindra!

Move

I said get away

Move aside

I won't, not even if I have to die

Move!

My son...!

What happened, my child?

Father

My dearest child! What happened?

Oh dear Goddess!

'Following this revolution in the palace...'

'...discussions were held between Govt. officials and the royal family'

'The palace astrologer conducted a divine query'

'It was deciphered the blood spilt within the treasury...'

'...had evoked the wrath of the Goddess which caused the crystal to burst'

'After 7 days of redemptive rituals and appeasement to the deity...'

'...it was decided to lock and seal the treasury for 41 years'

'After 41 years, it will be shared equally among 4 legal heirs'

'In the presence of mediators and witnesses...'

'...the heirs signed the legal documents'

'Mahendra Varma's sons Shekara Varma and Rajashekara Varma'

'Ravindra Varma's sons Vasudeva Varma and Srikrishna Varma'

'...were named the future heirs in the legal document'

'The doors were locked with 4 padlocks

and keys handed over to the future heirs'

'Royal palace came under the governance of the family trust'

'Royal palace came under the governance of the family trust'

'Mr Fraud'

Nothing like that

Just a sec

Maria...?

Excuse me

Yes, sir

- Maria - Yeah...?

No one has heard about the singer you've arranged

She's my only daughter

And I'm spending millions on this wedding

Couldn't you have finalized...

Sonu Nigam or Shreya Ghosal for this pre-nuptial bash?

Instead this unknown bloke What was his name?

Some random John Cliff

Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal are undoubtedly great singers, sir

But they are too familiar for the crowd That's why I finalized John Cliff

And you know what? He's a pure Malayali

He left for Jamaica when he was 20 totally hooked on to Bob Marley's songs

Globe-trotter and a Vagabond musician

Now he's back in India after 30 years

This is his 1st program for our sake after his return

Trust me, sir

John Cliff is going to rock the night

A fusion of reggae and Indian music That too with Malayalam lyrics

That's what he has promised

Let it be whatever fusion but not end up in confusion!

- You take care of everything - Okay sir, will do

My daughter's father-in-law may be a billionaire NRI

But he remains in his heart a common villager

He hinted we give him today the promised 1 billion in cash

Take the cash bundles Leave it in our suite

Ladies and gentlemen May I have your attention please?

Let's welcome on stage the great vagabond musician

John Cliff

His first ever 'live' performance in India

You guys have a rocking time

Hey! Come Let's see

"Beautiful moonlight as you sparkled bright"

"Clouds amidst in my heart a tryst"

"Moon's rays of radiance as you flash a glance"

"Branches of silence in my soul as essence"

"Tinted moonlight Touch me and take flight"

- Hey you look pretty - Thank you so much

Great couple

"As time rides its chariot over in enameled fields in summer"

"Even now I move on burning with pain forlorn"

"This heartbeat is just a second long

Realizing my life on earth is a love song"

"My desires attest Sweet it is to forget"

"Forever without end"

"Shimmering moonlight Dazzling desirous delight"

"Clouds vapory in my heart's treasury"

"On the shores when a tempest is on the warpath of unrest"

"I shall rush ahead; no delays like a rain laden wind always"

"To relieve my burden; in proximity

Singing my love's verses of immortality"

"Like a poem written but erased my life remains a secret encased"

"Moon's rays of radiance in the blaze of your glance"

"Branches of silence in my soul as essence"

"Tinted moonlight Touch me and take flight"

Welcome Bhai ji

Can I get you a drink?

- No - Please

Bhai ji, everything went smooth just as you planned

Tom Kurien did not file a case

Dowry is a criminal offence

No source for the cash

And scandal hushed up

Maria...? She is in deep trouble

He thinks she is the kingpin behind this robbery

So her chapter is closed

Beyond a few multimedia presentations and 14 YouTube links, being ignorant...

about the history of John Cliff is Maria's mistake

Let her pay for it

Javed, 100 million Your share is in this bag

Thank you, Bhai ji

You are the only one to pay so promptly just for information

Are you feeling guilty for accepting 'gawking wages'?

It's alright There are different meanings

One of it is to be paid for being a mere spectator

But I did something without your permission

Don't be angry with me It's a great opportunity

And like nothing we've ever done before

That's how huge it is And I couldn't resist the bait

Shall I ask him in?

Bhai ji, this is-

Hi I am Nikhil Atharva

But you can call me Niki

You can call me anything

I have many names

Many faces

Interesting

I have heard lots about you from Javed

I'm impressed

But I am not

Javed, tell him why I am here

Didn't you always say you want to end everything with a final deal?

This is it

This is Adityapuram palace in Kerala

Here occurred bloodshed over wealth and land issues long ago

And the palace treasury was sealed

A rare treasure trove of gold ornaments and precious stones

Worth many billions

The heirs are Ravindra Varma's sons Vasudeva and Srikrishna

And Mahendra Varma's children Shekara and Rajashekaran

Vasudeva Varma's sons are Trivikrama and Pratap

And Srikrishna Varma's daughter is Damini

Shekara Varma's only son is Sudhakar

Rajashekar's daughters are Rukmini and Gowri

These people are rich, influential and tough

When the time came to open the treasury

totally unexpected development-

Stop!

Wait before you look up an auspicious day to open the royal treasury

Mr Lawyer, I have got a stay order from the court

Stay order?

Why?

The royal family can't claim the wealth in the treasury

It belongs to the public is my contention

Treasure amassed from taxes, coercion, harassment, looting in wars is not ours

It is not right for us 'common people' to share it within our family only

Let the court decide

After that we can open the treasury

Rajashekar, don't you bring in your communism here

We've been waiting to claim this wealth all these years

Now don't provoke us with such unnecessary objections

I am well aware

The sword you struck my brother with,

is still safe in the armory like a souvenir!

If you have dubious intentions better delete them once for all

I am not Shekara Varma

Ahimsa blood doesn't flow in my veins

Like a comrade once said...

I'm a communist with a strong heart who can return any number of blows

Don't you dare threaten me!

You are going against the word of honour given by our father

We differ in our beliefs and ideals

Forgive me, brother

The stay order from the court is still in effect

And the treasure is in the cellar

You will steal it

How and when...? That is your call

And the terms between us

Out of the total loot, 20% will be yours

In cash

I trade only with God 50 for me, 50 for Him!

Since I am my own God His share is also mine

That makes it 100%

Please understand There is a 3rd party involved

Unknown entity

Come on Be reasonable

What is your part then?

I am a humble trader

I'll sell anything for anyone

I don't bargain with street vendors

My price is 5 billion

No discounts No additions

Nor percentages

2500 million to be paid in 2 days

Balance at the end of the mission and when assets change hands

How can I trust you?

You asked for it

Impossible Simply impossible

What if you fail?

What if I fail?

Javed, tell him, Lord of Death is never questioned about his life span!

He means business

Let's do this

Sajan?

Hey! Sajan

Who the heck?

Sorry, sir Why are you here, sir?

Good question... to ask why I am in my own office?

Goodness! Your office? Then why am I here?

Dude, I sent word for you

Numbskull! Come inside

I expect minimum decorum when you come to meet me

Look at yourself

Shabby and untidy and reeking of cheap rum

With the pittance I earn will I buy scotch whiskey?!

What are you muttering to yourself?

Nothing, sir

Superintendent of Police has reported

you slink away after signing in the register

So that rascal has got me into trouble

If you have any opinion say it aloud... don't swear

No use at all making me sit there in the name of computerization

The only 'window' I know is the one you see there

Then I am going to shift you

Where to?

Oh! Gandhi?

They have decided to open the Adityapuram palace cellar

They claim the coffers are overflowing

The royal heirs with divided opinion have become sworn enemies

As much enmity to each other as the years they haven't met

You know the ex-MLA Rajashekaran Varma?

He is one of the legal heirs

He has filed a case asking the Govt. to take over the wealth

Dog in the manger! This is the problem with communists

Won't eat nor allow us to eat

They are to blame for all my troubles

You listen to me first

We got this report from the junior office

Since this has reached the media a robbery of unexpected nature is likely

Your presence is essential at the palace

On the sly surveillance

I agree, sir

I won't allow anyone to steal that treasure

I will put him behind bars

'I must fix a deal with that fraud'

'And I must demand some percent of the loot'

'I can then resign from this petty post and then it is celebration time'

We were waiting for you

All of you must be here to take some decisions regarding the case

Mr Lawyer, explain everything

King Rajashekaran stands alone opposed by the rest of the family

Don't address me like royalty You can call me by name

The court will come to a decision only after hearing both sides

We can also ask the Govt's opinion

Treasures in the cellar must remain in 'as is where is' basis with high security

But there is a hitch

No one has been able to provide a list of the treasures in the cellar

We have an approximate idea of its value only

So we must assess the value of items by a mediator acceptable to both sides

This must be submitted in court within three weeks

Mr A S Shivaram, a private consultant in Jaipur and he is a Malayali

There are very few qualified in assessing such precious artifacts

I don't know him personally

But he was suggested by a reliable, close friend

If all of you agree we can proceed

- We need to think over it - Not necessary

We can go along with uncle's suggestion

Let Shivaram assess the treasure

She knows what she is talking, brother

We agree

Make arrangements for him to come

I am Damini, daughter of Srikrishna Varma

- What are you doing now, my dear? - Property development in Mumbai

Your husband?

I haven't fallen into that trap as yet

Can the court be informed about Shivaram?

Please inform me also

About everything

I am Sajan

Intelligence DySP

Varma sir? How are things with you?

Ages since we met, right?

We are old friends

I've understood the issues here

During the evaluation I will also be inside the cellar

We didn't ask for security So who invited you here?

What the heck!

There are only 2 uninvited guests

One is death and the other is police

We were warned of a possible robbery

My presence is just a precaution

Ever since the media hyped about the wealth in our treasury...

we arranged our own security

We have assigned Bluefox India's topmost security to protect us

So your service isn't needed here

May I speak, father?

Yes

Good to have additional police surveillance

When Govt... offers a service why should we avoid it?

What do you say, Rajashekara?

I agree

Okay, Mr Sajan You can go ahead

We will co-operate

Varma sir 1 minute

We can't renew old friendship in front of others, right?

There isn't anything to renew

I don't forget easily

Also I've heard many stories about you

If you reveal anything in a drunken stupor...

I'll simply kill and bury you

Varma sir, don't worry

What is between us will remain a secret

No one will ever know anything

How can you stop now? Why this sudden decision?

I'm really bored That's why

If you don't enjoy what you do you must stop doing it

I am glad, end of my career will be in Kerala

To end where it all began

It is about 15 years since I've stepped into Kerala

What about you guys?

Is that important?

Don't have a long face

Listen, Abbas

You've been with me for 7 years

After this mission you go your way

I want to be with you always

No, Abbas

I've always been a loner Hereafter totally by myself

There is nothing personal among us

Don't carry any emotional baggage

Priya, you are secure after the last deal

So... you aren't needed in this

Yeah, I'm safe

Life has been a fairy tale after meeting you

But I need sleeping pills if I want to sleep

In your language 'my emotional baggage'

Guilt

Hey... no

Haven't you heard?

No one owns anything in this world

Anyone can take anything even if it belongs to another

How can it be called looting or robbery?

You must never feel guilty

I too want to be a part of this last lap of your journey

You don't have to pay me

I just want to be with you in your last outing

Free service I'm not for it

Love, obligation and gratitude Not at all necessary

Everything is as usual

We are equals and we go equal

We go equal

But you are first among equals

Where is the newspaper?

Hello?

Who are you?

Hey... hello?

- Good morning - Who are you?

- Me? - Then me, huh?

The one you've been waiting for?

- Me? - Yes

Oh! Then you can go to the backyard

You'll find the cowshed there

Cowshed?

Yes

Veterinary hospital head said he would send someone to inseminate the cows

Gawd! You misunderstood me

I haven't come to make the cows or anyone else here pregnant!

It's a policy I stick to!

Who is it, Saraswathi?

I can't place you

I am Shivaram from Hoard Consultancy

Jaipur

I was asked to assess the palace treasures...

by your lawyer and give a report to the court

Are you Mr Shivaram?

Yes

What are you doing?

- Don't move - You are taken

Indeed a surprise, Mr Shivaram I was not informed of your arrival

I was in Tanjore So I took a train

I reached early morning

I settled down in the portico not to disturb you so early

Good, now you can freshen up

After breakfast we can go to the palace

Your accommodation has been arranged there

My dear, open the room on top for Shivaram

Ensure the bathrooms have fresh towels

Okay, you can go up

Go inside

Anything else for you?

A cup of black coffee if it's not a botheration for you?

Not at all

You heard him, dear?

Shivaram

Excuse me

I was just simply looking at the palace

Why do you need binoculars for that?

Aren't you going there anyway?

Looking from far and near are 2 different views altogether

Some things have to be seen from far and some nearby

And some must be first seen from afar and then near

Coffee

Some things must never be seen!

Good coffee

That always makes my day

Towel

Soap?

Thank you

Mohanam is beautiful

What?

Most beautiful among all ragas is Mohanam

Your prelude this morning was awesome

So you weren't asleep Just pretending

Why would I pretend? I was really asleep

Actually there is a state between sleep and wakefulness

That was when Mohanam nudged me

That was a great wake up call

Oh! Let me shower

Something is amiss

Why this sudden visit from all of you?

Come inside

No need! We have not come to socialize

Father, haven't you harassed us enough?

You squandered wealth intended for our family to your political party

And now when we may get something substantial, you've filed a lawsuit

Assets of the palace is public property, eh?!

Aren't you ashamed?

I do feel ashamed Not for the lawsuit

But for giving birth to 2 children like you

Before matters turn complicated we want a last round of discussion

Then you don't have to waste your time

Don't you understand?

I don't know how to ask you to get out in a more civil manner

Dad, phone

- Who is it, my dear? - From the palace

Ask them to call later

I'll ask dad to call you

Dad?!

Are you shameless?

Moment you stepped in here we lost our father and home

One day we will settle all scores

If not today, tomorrow

Sister, such dialogues are obsolete

Just stare and turn around to walk away is today's style

And a music score in support too

Come

Even though I joked I am upset, dad

Isn't it true what they said?

Problems began only after I came?

Everything turned right only after your arrival

Really?

Really

Come

My children-

Shall we have breakfast?

Sure

My dear, will you lay the table?

Come, Shivaram

We got a mail from Bluefox asking for more security guards

I was replying'

Greetings, uncle

My older brother Shekara Varma

Greetings

He heads our royal family now

Brother, he is Shivaram

Royalty doesn't count I'm just another citizen

Mr Shivaram, I heard you're a Malayali?

- Which part of Kerala are you from? - Sasthamkotta

But I have no one there now

I'm advocate Idiculla When can we start evaluation?

Tomorrow

My 2 colleagues will come now Our machines have to be set up

Very sorry, Mr Shivaram

Only you are allowed to enter the treasury

Your assistants will have to wait outside

Why?

Only Mr Shivaram's name is recorded in the court

Other than Shivaram, during evaluation those allowed inside can only be...

heirs, court officials, lawyer Idiculla and me

Nonsense!

We'll get permission for his assistants too

No need

Their main job is...

to assist with data and software

They need not come in

How many days are required to finish this job?

Depends on the quantity to be assessed

I haven't seen the properties as yet

Let me see

Then I can tell you the number of days I need

Okay, See Yo"

Good morning, Bhai ji

Hi Bhai ji

So everything is as planned

Under no circumstance should you leave the caravan, Abbas

Unless and until I tell you

Sure

The person watching us now is DySP Sajan

A troublemaker

He's intelligent and absolutely corrupt

You know brains and corruption is a deadly combination

Deal with him carefully

- So catch you later - Fine

Is your room comfortable?

Yes

If you need anything don't hesitate to ask

I don't want anything

I'm fine

When your name was suggested by my uncle, none of us opposed him

We only expect you to be fair

We looked up your firm on the net and we were convinced

My job is to only evaluate

How does 'unfair' come into it?

Apart from evaluation we expect unconditional co-operation from you

You will come to know by and by

Unless I know what exactly you want from me, I find it difficult to reply

There may be families still living engulfed in nostalgia of royal life

But we are different

We are businessmen playing with millions in the market

And we always mean business

I am a professional I don't do business

There is always a 1st time, right?

A day you can begin for the first time?!

Sure... like a day when everything will end too

Haven't you heard?

The doomsday

You are a tough nut We are impressed

We will let you know what we want next time we meet

You can then give us a solid hand shake

Let's see

Hi! I'm Damini Varma

I know

Your salt and pepper 'look' is very hot

- Really? - Yes

You have the attitude of a seasoned player

You are a huge turn on

Nowadays I have lost interest

A kind of disinterested indifference

Anyway, thank you for your enticing words

(holy chants)

The Goddess is appeased

Okay

Heirs can hand over the keys to the court official

I can help him

Okay

Not necessary

It's not time for evaluation as yet

He's only helping to unlock the door

No need

It isn't the evaluator's job

Sajan

You are here to ensure things go smoothly

Not interfere in what Shivaram does

Please go ahead, Shivaram

No one must enter now

This place has to be purified

And the king must light a lamp for the Goddess

Now that I have cleansed the deity Your Highness can light the lamp

This chest contains the documents prepared...

before the treasury was locked, along with its keys

The rituals are over, right?

The priest can step out

Now this is a work place

I will tell you what to do

As specified before only 4 people can enter

Before the evaluation begins some precautions must be taken

All of you must co operate

I am in charge here

This place should never be in darkness even for a moment

We need light even if the generator fails

Are you ready, Shivaram?

Tools are okay but not the camera

Sir, no photography

Nothing can be photographed Especially items you examine

Strictly for security reasons

Okay

Please proceed, sir

I'm about to begin my work

You can categorize the items

And prepare your list accordingly

From now on I am in charge

I won't take orders from anyone

Is that clear?

Okay

Emerald from ancient Persia

Weighs 4.1 gm

Belongs to the period between 1750 and 1800

Let us count

This is one of the most risky missions I've ever attempted

There are 5 factors making this almost a 'mission impossible'

The position of the treasury

Under the hawk eyes of Bluefox state of the art security machines

Proximity of Sajan a shrewd police officer

And the presence of other members always

Huge quantity of my targeted objects

I have a precise plan

But no alternative moves in any of my plans

There is no place for Lady Luck or unexpected turn of events

This final game is actually very thrilling

I am excited

I have few more things to share

Wait for me in the van

Start duplicating these keys

These are the detailed sketches of some major palaces of Kerala

You must analyse them

They also house similar treasuries

Work on them in detail

Yes, Bhai ji

Wi-Fi transmissions are active, aren't they?

Yes, Bhai ji

Data will start pouring in from tomorrow

Keep going, guys

Greetings!

A visitor to see you from Coimbatore

Whose has asked you to murder me?

A big shot

Business secrets should not be revealed

Shall I finish my work?

You appeared like God from shards of wood

Who are you, man?

A lion or Lord Narasimha?

Why did you come here?

Simply... to play

I've repeated countless times this action of removing my watch

So let it remain this time

I was expecting this ever since I filed the case

Who do you think was behind this attack?

Could be anyone

Most probably my own children!

What's the point of sulking like this?

Is this the 1st time I've been attacked?

But I'm amazed how you came at that precise moment to save me

I stopped work early today

Felt tired, so I just went out for a drive

And reached at the exact time when Varma sir was attacked

A very strange coincidence

That is called luck

We also call it planning

She is your daughter, hmm?

Go inside, my dear

You seem to be an expert in martial arts also, eh?

People say I am expert in all kinds of arts, Sajan sir

Shall I take leave?

I don't want to be formal and thank you

Not at all necessary

Thanks

But what happened was not unexpected

There is a reason

Actually who are you?

It's a feeling I can't shrug ever since I met you

You are not upfront

There is something dubious

Tell me Who are you?

Me?

Don't tell anyone

I am Shivaram

I did not ask your name

Are you...

are you a fraud?

May be I'm a fraud

Hi boss We've landed

He insists on meeting you ever since he landed here

So I had to bring them here

Look who I have brought along with me

Hello I am Shivaram

From Hoard consultancy, Jaipur

So am 1

Who are these new avatars?

2 men in 1 place with same identity

It's weird

What do you say in Malayalam?

It isn't good at all

Yes, not good at all

But for whom is the question!

'What I thought was 1, now appears as 2

My sorrow is inexplicable knowing so'

Bhai ji, chill Let's talk

Yeah, let's talk

So this Shivaram is actually a fraud

Nikhil's arrival with that man...

Bhai ji, be careful

I had told him I wanted to communicate certain things

But as you said his arrival was a bit dramatic

Getting Shivaram on his side is a threat to you, Bhai ji

If we get him into trouble he will get back at us

That is why he has brought Shivaram here

He coolly pitched in with them knowing the stakes are high

If he thinks all this will threaten me his brain must be sadly wanting!

Anyway let us meet him

Good to see you, Bhai ji Very good to see you

I'll also call you 'Bhai ji' like everybody else

Because none of us even know your name

When he said you wanted to discuss something with me...

I just thought I'll fly down and meet you

That's good

But your show of getting him here to threaten me was a dirty move

Bhai ji-

Well, you can't be anything else but dirty

Bhai ji, don't misunderstand

Bittu's gang you had arranged in Jaipur to hold him in custody wasn't reliable

That's why we hauled him here

But this pig now wants a share in our deal

Come

Don't try to soft pedal this issue with your most pitiful brains, Javed

He is a precaution So I don't double cross you

But whatever the precaution...

if I make up my mind, you had it from me

Ask him not to irritate me

Bhai ji

Give it to him

See this

You have to replicate all these materials

I know he has the necessary man-power and machinery for it

Diamonds, pearls, emeralds and other precious stones

Collect their duplicates Try the African market

I have specified the quantity

Wrap them in red velvet

Make arrangements to bring the whole lot in 12 boxes

Within 20 days

It is short notice But it has to be done

Tough task

But this, I can do it

Good

If everything goes as planned...

within 21 days, treasure will be lost forever

Till then...!

He is dangerous

But I am fit

Hire more workers if you want

But before the rains concreting must be done

You carry on I'll be back

Come, Shivaram

How is your arm, sir?

That can be ignored

If it's no trouble you can drop the 'sir' and call me comrade

It's a joy to hear it from people who are sincere and affectionate

But within our party...

sworn enemies call each other comrade

This school...?

A school for the kids here with least expense and best of education

When this desire was born I sold everything to start it

Do you see?

Work is incomplete There is a lot to be done

I need lots of money

I don't have enough resources in my hands

You also know by now Saraswathi is not my daughter

I brought her home as an orphan 15 years back

But today I prefer to say I have only one daughter

Even if I die she'll live here with dignity

She must help others to live progressively

That's how the idea for a school was born

She runs the school now

I'm not afraid of hurdles

But the attack that day has really shaken me up

I'm worried I may not be able to complete my responsibilities

That won't happen, comrade

I just felt like talking to you

That's why I asked you to come

How many days more to complete evaluation?

At the most 10 days

Did you hear?

Our family trust has decided to use the treasure to build a heritage resort

Potential foreign investors have been invited to a party and musical night...

by our new generation

I heard about it

As the saying goes...

fools rush in where angels fear to tread

"Protect me permanently Oh lotus-eyed deity Parvati"

"Goddess Shakthi Embrace me"

"Oh lotus eyed deity, envelop me Your beauty is ethereal for eternity"

"Effortless effulgence"

"Protective Goddess Perfectly peerless"

"Epitome of beauty matchless"

"Oh Goddess lotus eyed Beauty unrivalled far and wide"

"Provide me sanctuary"

"Your divine words of honey"

"Auspicious one! Your words honeyed Dispeller of sins of the good hearted"

What?

"Oh lotus eyed Shakthi, shield me Your beauty is beatific superlatively"

"Protect me, Goddess Parvati"

This is a song sung often by someone I loved very much

Let this remain a secret between us

Give this to your dad I had borrowed it

Tonight we begin

These spots that I have marked show the position of security guards

Between these 2 spots here is a hub of the CCTV

Priya, you must ensure this hub is jammed

But control room server usually has a software that checks

It checks every 30 minutes

So we get exactly half an hour for the operation

That's fine

You jam the CC TV circuit at sharp 1'o clock

You will help me break in

And I'll join you back at sharp 1:30

But Bhai ji, inside the cellar what's the plan of action?

Sketches of the cellars in 4 major palaces of Kerala

All 4 have 1 common factor

A secret door which is not obvious at first sight

A secret door leading to the outside world through a tunnel

In case of wars or any other emergency...

stuff from the treasury were shifted through this tunnel

Won't some family member or at least Shekara Varma know of its existence?

I feel he may not know

When the treasury was locked up long ago

the king definitely would have known

But since there was bloodshed he would not have revealed...

this secret to the next generation

A precaution he took to ensure no one had access to the treasury

Then how do we find that secret door?

It takes time And plenty of luck

Luck doesn't count

Logic is what matters

Architecture from the 16th century onwards...

shows every door has at least one bit of metal

It's a general theory

If this metal scanner is used inside the treasury walls...

we get the required result

Guess I can find the door

'3 hours before the mission'

So you think there could be a possible robbery here

Sir, do you know what is a good policeman's strong point?

Get feeling

I get the feeling

Something is about to happen here

The air around here has all signs of that build up

Do you suspect anyone?

Suspicion!

The outside world knows about this treasury only now

Thanks to the blown up hype given by our media

This may seem a golden opportunity for a big time gang or thief

There is another possibility

4 of you are entitled to this treasure

Then Rajashekaran filed the case

Now each one of you may want to grab the entire wealth for yourself

So may be it is an elaborate scheming?

Only Rajashekaran is responsible for all this

Isn't that why there was an attempt on his life?

Don't try to blow it out of proportion

If it comes to a stage where we have to bump him off...

we are prepared to do that also

Hey! Leave him alone

He has suffered a lot in life

None of you know him

But I do

What do you know?

Forget it! I won't tell

It's a secret between us

Fine, don't tell

Let him drink himself to death

Let's go

You plan to get me drunk daily, eh?

Oh! Come on Tell me

What is that secret?

What's the status?

- I'm on it - Okay

I'm done

So far I have never asked You for anything

I am not asking You anything now either

I just want You to ensure these boxes reach their destination

I just thought I will tell you

So shall I start my work?

Now this is a secret between us

A secret we share along with 1 more person

Abbas, I am at the moment 1.5 km away from the palace

But the tunnel is just 1/2 km long

Okay, Bhai ji

He has come

It's so delicious

Didn't you go saying 'no more discussions'?

Changed your mind?

We are not here to discuss anything

Just to give you a piece of information

You must withdraw the case you have filed in court

If I don't?

Then we will counter file

15 years ago, Saraswathi, who was 12 years then...

was molested by 3 men

A gang rape

You were the MLA then

You bribed Sajan who was the chief inspector then

And the case was closed

From that day onwards you brought her here

For hiding and destroying evidence For bribing a policeman

And for denying justice to her we will file a case against you

We will demand to have her molesters tracked

The media will be overjoyed

Father and daughter will be in the limelight

Won't you prefer to avoid all this?

We have planned a meeting for the investors at the palace tomorrow

You have time till then to withdraw your case

Otherwise we'll just do it

- You...! - Let me tell you

Don't be dishonest

You got drunk and blabbered

Don't, comrade

It was a mistake Forgive me

Do you know what he did to me?

Rajashekara!

Brother, do you know what my children came and told me?

Don't worry I will talk to them

But you could have confided in me at least at some point

I could not Forgive me

It was about 15 years ago

Actually speaking April 12th 1999

I was an MLA

I was returning from a meeting at 2:00 a.m.

Chief Inspector Sajan called me

I went to Dr Sebastian's clinic

What is it, Sajan?

I chased a fellow who was suspected in a robbery

I missed him

But on my way back

Among the thick bushes-

We received a complaint from the orphanage

About a missing child

A 13 year old girl who was attending vacation classes

The name slip showed it was the same girl

Saraswathi

What did you say her name was?

Saraswathi

I went to her school recently

I even presented a prize to her

She's a bright girl

Yes sir, I asked her before she lost consciousness

But she did not remember anything

There were 3 of them

They abducted her when she was walking down the road

It's terrible

My dear? Saraswathi

Don't hurt me, please

Come here

Can you catch those miscreants?

I can try, sir

We have no clues

They might even have fled from our state

Anyway try to find them

Let us wait before we file a case

'I showered tender loving care on that orphan'

'I visited her everyday'

'When there was no hope of finding the culprits...'

'...I said there was no need to file a case'

'The doctor and Sajan agreed and cooperated'

'I brought her to my house and raised her as my own daughter'

To let her be the cynosure of media's eyes and talk of the town...

I was not prepared

A case that may prolong for years causing her to lose her youth

I gave her courage to live

I convinced her that nothing had happened

Sajan gave his word of honour never to reveal this

That son of a mongrel broke his promise

My own children threatened me today

If I did not withdraw the treasure-case...

they'd go to court and revive this rape case

They have given me time till the investors meet tomorrow

And my Saraswathi...!

She is silent now Not even crying

Didn't I warn you I may fall any day?

Comrade...!

Hey! Welcome Stage is all set

- Shall we start by 8:00 p.m.? - Even 8.30 is fine, chill

I remember you

3 years ago in Goa New year's eve

It was you You look different now

Yeah! It was me

Hey man!

After the program that day I searched all over for you

He's a great singer

In Goa he barged into my program and sang

It was mind blowing

It was awesome

Why are you here?

I am on a job

And you are Mr...?

You did mention your name that day but I forgot

Shivaram

No, not Shivaram I think something else

It is Shivaram Maybe you got it wrong

Okay, Shivaram Leave it

You have to join me tonight

Balabhaskar will be there We will rock the show

Hey... no... no

No, Shivaram It's a deal

You are a singer too?

Great

Looking forward to the show

Cool, see you on stage

Gopi, come this way

I'll arrange to get your luggage from the car

This is Shivaram

He's the one who evaluates the collection

They are interested in trade aspects of this collection

So the get-together today is a business party of potential buyers?

It is not something related to your heritage resort project

You are sharp and spot on

I know all of you are busy with your guests for today's event

I came here to tell you something

The time allotted to my dad ends this evening

I came to tell you our decision

Either suicide or insanity

One of this would have been my fate

It was my dad who rescued me from that hell

A right to live like everyone else

And to live with dignity

He gave me confidence and courage to live and help people

You can file a court case

And revive the old rape case

Make me a scapegoat

I will face it coolly

As for the case filed by my dad regarding the treasure in the cellar

There is absolutely no question of withdrawing it

I won't let my dad get defeated

I came just to tell you this

A good shower cleansed my body that was defiled

But is there any holy river that can ever cleanse your corrupt minds?

Have you ever thought about it?

You heard what she said?

This is my daughter

My one and only daughter

Come

My child!

No one will file any case in any court

I won't allow anyone to tarnish your reputation

I regret what happened Shivaram sir

But I can make up for it

I was following a lead regarding the attack on Varma sir

A lone investigation without involving anyone else

I found him finally I will meet him tonight

I have many suspicions

Don't deal with this alone It is dangerous

Don't worry, Shivaram sir I have my methods

I even doubted you

Not anymore All clear

I will be able to give a piece of good news to Varma sir tomorrow

When this place is busy partying, I'll execute a crucial operation

'3 hours before the function'

Bhai ji

Javed had called

Duplicates are ready as per your instructions

12 boxes will arrive in a van tonight

Tonight at 12:30 they will hand over...

the consignment at the spot we specify

Okay

Modifications in the tunnel have been done as per your instructions

Now it is lit up also

We must complete the mission tonight

Right, Bhai ji?

Yes

Bhai ji, are you upset about something?

The incident about that girl

Priya, didn't I always say 'no emotional baggage'?

But in life, a force called fate traps us

Some coincidences sweep you away in their tide

Do you know how many years since I visited Kerala?

15

You've told us

Yes

15 years ago

I robbed a bank along the borders of Tamil Nadu.

I was alone

Police somehow traced and followed me

Help...!

Please help

Save me

Let me go

The scene I witnessed that day in the rear view mirror...

till date has not been erased from my mind

I have had many a sleepless night

Till now I never realized...

the reason for my anguish was the scene I witnessed long ago

Now it is my emotional baggage

She may not have seen my face on that dark night

I remain in darkness even today

A different face in each darkness

Bhai ji, are we backing out?

No! A job is always a job

"Lord... Almighty! Strummed on sarod strings of my mind"

"Blessing me ambrosial harmony"

"Amidst the moon, stars bring to me bouquets of 7 notes of melody"

"In enchantment hours awakened Like a leaf he floats on waves forsaken"

"Through paths marked by woeful shadow

share this journey through the day's glow"

"Rhythm of heartbeat to raga Nilambari Notes you shared long ago with me"

"Kisses of moonlight on those lips tiny

Mother gave me milk tasting like honey"

"Wandering bird rests in the heart's atrium

when unfirm paths unfold in calm delirium"

"Many faces, smiles, laughter recalled

on leaves, waves, hills, withheld walled"

"Between the paths of day and night

when mind traversed; a cloud bows bright"

"Like time bestows wisdom to the teacher

Be filled to the brim, oh Mother!"

"On wings of destiny I continue my journey"

"Knowledge springs from paths bridged

Like a river bubbling with kindness hinged"

"The Omnipotent one"

"The Omnipresent one"

"The Omniscient one!"

"Lord... Almighty! Strummed on sarod strings of my mind"

"Blessing me ambrosial harmony"

"Amidst the moon, stars bring to me bouquets of 7 notes of melody"

"In enchantment hours awakened Like a leaf he floats on waves forsaken"

"Through paths marked by woeful shadow

share this journey through the sun's halo"

'2 hours after the function'

We will complete our plan in 1 hour

You must transport the boxes you brought into the tunnel

And exchange the boxes from the treasury into the van

Okay, fine

You have planned it

Now you must execute it alone

Bhai ji, if you don't mind let Abbas remain with us here

Okay

Frisk him

Hey! What the hell?!

I don't think you need this gun any more

Javed, I have kept the GPS chip inside the boxes

Just to make sure it reaches its destination

So that he can't double cross us

See, the boxes are moving

Perfect

See this

Yes, Javed He has done it

He has kept the same boxes we delivered inside the cellar

I told you He never plays dirty

You pay him He'll get the job done

Excellent

I feel a special bond with you, Mother

which I never felt towards any other God

Thank you for everything

I'll take leave, see you

Great, Bhai ji

There is a small change in the plan

Our final transaction will be in Jaipur

And I will hand over the money to you there

Okay

Allow Abbas to accompany us

You also need to know we won't cheat you

He is your guarantee

Bhai ji, don't misunderstand

All will end well

Okay

You can take him

Our final meeting shall be at Jaipur

Okay, fine

Detailed report of the evaluation of the assets is in here

These are the copies for the heirs

So my job is over

It is all God's grace

Thank you

Shivaram

Let's go

See you

Get the copy of the report from the lawyer

To certain people we get too close too soon

You are a great friend

A wonderful human being

You must visit us again

We must have a blast with music and booze

Ever since my daughter told me about your music-

I will come

DySP Sajan was murdered last night

His body was found on the hillside a kilometre away from the palace

We got an anonymous call suggesting a clash between you two

Sir, you must come with us We will have to talk

Bhai

It has happened as I expected

I'm going to Jaipur You go back to Delhi

Let me also come, Bhai ji

No! Only Abbas and I will play this one last game

You don't worry

He will come back to you, safe and sound

Dad...?

I heard dad has been arrested Do you know why?

Greetings, Bhai ji It was a long journey, eh?

Oh yeah, it was a long journey

And unfortunately your journey ends here

You words were prophetic

It's your last game in the real sense of the word

From the time you reached the palace on this mission...

I always had my suspicions about you

Because seeing all this treasure anyone will lose their mind

Those 12 boxes in the van can tempt anyone

But I did tell Nikki Bhai ji will never double cross

But we? We are bastards

The deal is called off

And I am not going to pay you anything

Javed claims you have a soft corner for him

So I have put a price on him

Bhai ji, I spoke to Nikki and we worked out a formula

Rs. 2500 million that Nikki paid you?

Give it back to him and we'll set this dude free

And we can part as friends

We'll part as friends

Good

There are some more people yet to arrive on this scene

The unknown entity he had once told me

'There is a third party involved in this'

'Unknown entity'

The silent partner in this game

I didn't want to trouble you So I brought them here myself

Take a look

The stolen treasure will today be traded with an international diamond cartel

For a mind blowing price

I brought the senior and junior kings who

were to be here for the final transaction

Not me actually

Bittu

My man in Jaipur

Hey Shivaram What are you saying?

I don't understand anything

You, Shekara Varma, who heads the Royal family...

is not a simpleton

Do you know who told me that you are...

a cheat and a lowlife?

Mother Goddess

The Mother who guards the cellar treasures

Bullet, decades old embedded on the wall of the cellar...

showed me how the crystal on the crown of the Goddess burst

'Now this is a secret between us'

'A secret we share along with 1 more person'

I also got a glimpse of the good Shekara Varma's evil side

'The king knew your deceitful nature which no one else knew'

'With astrological assistance, his decision to close...'

'...the cellar for 41 years was to punish you'

'Neither you nor Vasudeva Varma must enjoy this wealth in your youth'

When your younger brother got a court stay order...

you realized you lose the 1/4th wealth you would inherit

You ganged up with him for a treasure heist

The moment I realized...

it was you and not him who hired me

I was watching you

Knowing if your brother is alive he would cause you problems...

you attempted to murder him

If he had died, Vasudeva Varma and Srikrishna Varma...

will be the suspects

They will begin to distrust each other

By taking your brother's case forward, you will be the winner

The opening of the treasury will again be postponed

There will be more opportunities to break in

You'd have even dealt with me directly

Sajan had got a lead on the people hired for the murder

He... Sudhakara Varma

During the investors' party in the palace...

invited Sajan out secretly

It is already known you are behind all this

Not heeding my warning, Sajan walked to his death

Following my orders...

Abbas recorded the visuals 'live' with his camera

That CD must have reached the police department by speed post today

You son of a-

Son of a mongrel!

Son...?

Bhai ji

It was my mistake

I admit It was my mistake

Forgive me, Bhai ji It was my mistake

I am to blame

Please... please forgive me

It was him

This fellow

He brainwashed me to switch sides

Let him pay for it

I will stand by you to trade the treasure

You can give me any cut

Okay... fine Don't give me anything

Javed!

You proved your true nature

Shut up... you scoundrel!

Bhai ji please

Okay

When we confront each other...

it is not a clash between good and evil

Because we are all evil

The question is who is dirtier

And I guess

I am the dirtiest!

You

I will make use of you

You and junior king will deliver the 12 boxes...

to the place I ask you to

I will message you the address

You can take the original evaluator

He might come into use

Thanks, Bhai ji

To see you don't get nasty ideas let senior king remain with me

Done, Bhai ji

Thanks

Then go

Come on, come on

In the games we play there is only one rule

The worst always survives

The night I reached, prepared to collect the treasure with Javed...

for 5 minutes that van on the way waited for your vehicle

MY Son!

The royal treasure is back safe in its cellar

Nikhil Atharva's boxes with GPS chips and duplicate jewels

were exchanged for the original ones in the cellar

If you asked me why I did it...

redeeming a loan is my answer

Even this mission which came in search of me was destiny

And at the end of the day I have made huge money

2500 million for nothing

But you?

You are a loser

You deserve a royal death You call the shot

'After a year'

'To all our special guests and those who kindly accepted our invitation'

'...we express our heartfelt thanks'

Your support and co operation is the strength of this institution

The completion of this building was possible due to the huge sum...

of a donor who wishes to remain anonymous

Our heartfelt thanks to him for his generosity and affection

Thanking you once again Jai Hind!

Very happy

Thank you, sir

Okay

Dad...?

Shivaram...!

All those whom we invited graced the function

But we waited for the arrival of this particular uninvited guest

Thanks for coming

I thanked the anonymous donor who generously contributed

Did you hear me?

There is much more to thank him, isn't it?

For rescuing me from the Sajan's case

For safely entrusting the wealth to the Govt...

Don't praise and glorify my deeds

I am a person without virtues

I have no regrets for all I have done so far

Neither have I confessed to anyone

16 years ago...

one night when I heard

the anguished pleas of a little girl crying for help

I was not in a position to save her

The face of that girl

This face...

remains like a burning ember within me

My first and last confession

Most people lead ordinary lives without committing too many mistakes

But there are people who commit misdeeds...

make amends with greater gestures of generosity

History is always with them

Can I ask you something?

What is your actual name?

Do you remember what you once asked me?

Are you a fraud?

You can call me

Mr Fraud...!

"Shimmering moonlight Dazzling desirous delight"

"Clouds vapory in my heart's treasury"

"On the shores when a tempest is on the warpath of unrest"

"I shall rush ahead; no delays like a rain laden wind always"

"To relieve my burden; in proximity

Singing my love's verses of immortality"

"Like a poem written but erased my life remains a secret encased"
