Today...is the culmination of a dream

It could be the beginning of a long journey....

...or its end. I am not sure.

Because...this journey is not for us.

It's for him.

One thing is for sure... we are not alone.

He is right here....with us.

MOHAN KUMAR FANS

- Hello Prakash! - What's the plan?

I am just leaving to the temple

- Are you here in Kochi? - No...I am at Thiruvananthapuram

I made an offering to Ganapathi for your success!

It's your comeback after 30 years!

Thirty years! I don't think one offering will do!

I'll be watching the noon show here... I'll call as soon as it is over

- Ok? - Ok...Ok, Prakash!

- Sreekutty? - Yes? - Not ready yet, dear? - Just 2 more minutes, Dad!

- I'll be right there - Ok!

- Kumari Amma? - Yes, I am coming

- Give one to her - Sure

- Sir! - Coming! - I saw it, Sir! - Did you?

- The ad is fantastic! - Is it? - You should give me a treat! - Sure!

- Here! Watch the movie today itself! - Sure! - And let me know what you think!

- I will! - See you then! - Ok! Right!

(Movie ad in the paper) "A Nearby Horizon"

Eyes turned upward,

I stand here to sing

By my side, in kindness,

Won't you listen?

You wipe away the darkness on Earth

Oh! Golden Star!

Fill me from within,

Oh, flame of love!

Like a thousand clouds,

Do watch over me

I am as an infant,

Do protect me!

Like a thousand clouds,

Do watch over me

I am as an infant,

Do protect me!

Eyes turned upwards,

I stand here to sing

By my side, in kindness,

Won't you listen?

- Hey there, boy! - Huh?

It's time to go! You were supposed to be home by now!

- What's the hurry? - We are off to meet another girl today, Father

- How many is it now? - Around...fifteen...

Oh, really?

- Let's wind up for now. Carry on with your plans. - Ok

- Only two more songs to go. - Ok - We'll try them on Sunday

- Sure! You go ahead now! - Ok

I'll be getting off on the way. I am not coming with you.

Come on! Just come along! For fun!

As if it's a musical performance! For fun!

Nice lad, isn't he? We should baptise him and bring him to our side!

What for? So God can have him for snack?

If a man is good, what difference does his caste make?

- Or his religion? - Oh! The mom-son duo are both here?

- Good morning! - What's a bride-meet without our dear Aunt?

- Hey! Did you know? - What? - The girl's dad is a great musician

When they heard that you sing, they seemed keen to fix the wedding!

So you mean this is just a preview?

- Alright, let's move! - Get going, man!

His name is Krishnanunni...if you need him to teach music in your parish...

- ...I can spare him - Oh that's nice, Father

(Sings)

It's Raagam Kaapi.

Kaapi is not always sweet.

True, true!

- Why is this kaapi* so spicy? (*coffee) - It has ginger and pepper in it - Oh!

Specially made for the singer.

For this kind of a meeting, such formalities are not needed.

That's what she said too.

But after I banged her head on the wall...

...the kaapi was ready just as I said.

We were told you are a music scholar.

We didn't know you had a funny side too!

By the way...what do you think of Kaanada? Do you like it?

Obviously he is interested in Canada! Right? He's got a passport and everything!

I meant the Raaga!

- You know, the Kaanada Raaga? - Hmm

- Dad is out to irritate them! - Him and his obsession with Raagas!

- You are trained in music and dance too, aren't you? - Well...yes...

- Hmm. And you? - I...trained in Kalari* (*a martial art) - I see!

- Alright then. Let's talk business now. - Yes! - Ok! - So...

...how many of the Melakartha Raagas have you memorised?

- That would be... - At least three hundred?

But...aren't there only 72 Raagas?

What do you know about Raagas?

Who are you? His teacher?

Listen boy! Unless you cast this one out of your home...

...you will never make it as a singer!

- Stay calm! - Aunt! Let's leave! - Sit!

Let me get the box.

Mom! Unless you force Dad to take medicine, we are going to stay unmarried forever!

Nasty old man!

(Sings a classical tune)

- Hey! Listen! Father of the Bride! - What? Go for a ride?

My brother Krishnanunni is here to meet your daughter

Not to audition for a stage performance! Got it?

This won't work! Let's go!

If this wedding happens, he will make you sing to death!

How about a farewell song before you leave?

- What do you think? Huh? - Are you coming or what?

Aunt! Please make sure you make enquires about the family...

...before we set out on these trips again!

- Mom! - Yes? - Looks like they are back!

I hope he liked this one!

- When did you get here, brother-in-law? - Just now

- Ok...I'll be right out! - Ok

- So brother-in-law! How was the girl? - Hmm - What?

- What? - Hmm - What happened, sister?

You look upset. It didn't work out?

You know, it isn't like I am well enough to go around like this!

If I am able to find a nice girl for him...

...I would think of it as a good deed!

So, Aunt...you want him to get married to a mad man's daughter?

Shut up, you scoundrel! If I had known...

...would I have you dragged you two there?

Oh God! Was he really mad?

I don't know if he was really mad or duplicate mad.

He asked him some questions about music.

Something about Canada or America or something.

Go ahead and laugh! Anyone can make a mistake!

But if he ever gets married... I will be the one to arrange it!

He is going to be the future Yesudas, you know? Yesudas!

- (mimics Yesudas singing) - What, boy? - Nothing!

- I wouldn't mind some tea. - I'll get it for you.

- Who's the special tea for? - Mohan Kumar Sir! - Huh?

You know? Mohan Kumar Sir - the one who acted in this movie?

Oh! Mohan Kumar!

I gave him tea during the interval. Now it's almost the climax.

Who knows? He could be a super star by tomorrow!

If that happens, why not plant some goodwill right now?

What did you just say?

- That he could be a star tomorrow? - Yes!

He already was a star!

He starred as hero in some twenty odd movies of great acclaim

But when Mohanlal and Mammootty took the scene by storm...

...he was among the actors who got washed out!

- Oh! Is that so? - Now, for around thirty years...

...he hasn't been seen in a movie or serial or anything...

Well...there are a few who ended up like that

(from on-screen movie) It's ringing....you can speak

Dad! Please don't hang up, Dad!

I couldn't see things from your perspective

I would never curse you, son

- Sir, tea? - No - There are things I could never understand

- Tea? - No, thanks! - I know there is some helplessness...

- ...that made you abandon me - The movie is good!

But your role doesn't seem meaty enough for you!

All the heroes in this idiot director's movies have won state awards

That's why I did it! Or I wouldn't have given a rat's arse!

Hmm...this looks like it will pick up a few awards

But...he is the real hero of the movie, isn't he?

- When they narrated the story to me, I was the hero! - Hmm

- Please, Dad! - I'll come, Son!

How old is your daughter now?

I want to see her before I die!

I will come, Son...I will come!

A rainbow appears - You were great! - Thank you!

Where before the starry skies had faded - Can we take a selfie?

My heart fills with sweet moonshine - Come on, move closer!

Like it was always waiting for me

A symphony builds up again

As thought someone is playing for me

A bygone era, slowly..

Seems to be humming a melody again

Every pathway takes on new shades

As every bud blossoms

Every night brings to every day

A brand new song every time

- Hello? Mr Mohan Kumar? - Yes?

This is the office of Education Minister, V K Nandakumar

- The Minster would like to talk to you - Oh! Sure! - Let me connect him for you

- It's the Minister! - Hello Mr Mohan - Hello Sir!

I saw your movie in Thiruvananthapuram yesterday

- Oh... - It had a great message!

- And your acting was superb! - Thank you!

- And Mohan... - Yes, Sir? - When the State awards are announced this year...

...I am hopeful of seeing your name!

- Thank you! Thank you, Sir! - I'll see you around then! - Ok, Sir!

Awesome!

Summers turns into a shower of snow

That melts in the sunshine of spring

A lily sways in the wind

As someone whispers in her ear

A drop of moonlight

In the bylanes of my mind

Softly, like a dream

Appears like bejewelled drops of rain

Mr Mohan Kumar! Namaskar!

Can we go in this car, Sir?

- Didn't you have a driver? - Yes...I did...

After working for me and building up some contacts...

...he is now a movie Production Manager

- And he got me someone to take his place - Oh

A guy named Krishnanunni - he is all set to be the future Yesudas!

He is off on some stage event today

- I see - He's a nice chap...I am hoping he will make it - Right!

And these days, I don't really need a driver on a regular basis

- If you need him, just let me know. I can send him over - Ok

It must be around five years since you last came here

Around the time you were taking up that Vijay movie for distribution

Yes...in the last six years, that was, the only one that made me some money

- Oh! - With that, I turned fully to distribution

- Oh! - And then I managed to lose my ancestral home in Kanjirappally

- What? - It's true!

Because my wife is a doctor and because her family supports us...

...we managed to keep the flat we live in

It's a year since I paid the rent for this building

The owner is a humane person with a love for the movies

You are lucky you did not venture into production

You put your money in the bank and lived a decent life

I was never lavish

I am happy with what I have

I did have a few minor losses in business as you know

Just minor! You did not end up losing your home like I did!

- Can I get you some tea? I only have black! - Ok

Financial security is such a relief, Mohan!

- Sir... - Oh...

You're early! Come in!

Know him? Arun Rajeev...

A director whose movies ran for hundred days each

- Oh yes...I know... - He has a fantastic script in hand

We met on a train. He told me a thread he had in mind

I told him not to mention it to anyone else!

I told him to get cracking on the script immediately...

- ...and made him promise it to me! Some tea for you? - Yes

- Ok - Sir, I watched your movie... your performance was awesome!

You will win an award for it...I am sure!

Everyone's been saying that, right?

God is great! Though you had a long wait...

...you got a great character and you did a great job!

Here...

This project is my lifeline now

- You know...that new hero who worked in your movie...Krupesh? - Yes

I have an appointment with him

- Oh - I have to convince him to do it

It will all work out, Prakash

'Pulari Pictures' will have a fresh dawn

- Hello! - Grandpa, didn't you get anything for us?

- I didn't...but your Uncle did! - Oh no, Grandpa! - Very bad!

- There! Everything you asked for! - Wow!

Thank you!

(Heated debate on TV)

(talking to the TV) Come on! Give him what he is asking for!

Move, Grandpa!

All he wants is 30 seconds! Just give it to him!

- Could I have some hot water for my bath? - Ok

Just give it to him for heaven's sake!

Don't drop it, Ambadi

- Praise be, Father! - Where are you?

- Back in your nest? - Yes, I am!

I have some songs to look at. There is a musical prayer event at Kulamavu next week

- At Kulamavu? - Yes

Don't make a kulam* of it! (*mess)

- The place is known for its musclemen! - Did you call me to crack this lame joke?

No...when you were here to teach the choir the other day...

- ...remember you met my friend, Father Jason? - Yes

Some one in his parish works for a reputed TV channel

As a Program Director. And they...

...are launching a music show soon

- Oh! - The guy's name is Pratheesh - Ok

I'll Whatsapp his number to you

Talk to him and get the details...

- ...and meet him tomorrow, ok? - Ok...sure!

(contestant singing at audition)

Perfect!

(Contestant sings in background) - Next! - Here

- Your name and sign - here! - Ok

Can you check if that is ok?

- Where is the Program Producer, Pratheesh? - Inside...at the console

- Sir? - Yes? - Are you a contestant? - Yes

- Are you taking part too? - Yes... you have been to our college...

- You taught us a song for a group event - Oh

Yes...I sometimes do that when I have time...just for fun...

Hey! Stop the flirting and go on inside!

Look...I don't know anyone here...

Oh...Ok...

- The Program Producer, Pratheesh is a friend of mine - Oh! - Hey! You!

- See you around - Ok. Just a moment!

(contestant singing at audition)

- Aneesh! - Sir?

The word is not 'Uyare'(high)... it is 'Uyire' (life)

It is when you are losing your life that you point upwards!

Don't even know the lyrics but they want to sing!

Sir...are you...Pratheesh?

- Yes...I am Pratheesh - Father Jason sent me

- Oh! Right! Krishnanunni? - Yes

But Father only mentioned one person

Huh? I am just one person!

- I am both Krishnan and Unni - Then what about this one here?

- Huh? - I...am just here to sing

When he said you were his best friend...

...I just wanted to say hi

Oh...not best friend... I just said friend...

Hey! When did we become friends?

- You know...just for the flow...of casual conversation... - Ok, ok!

I'll get your tags... if you are called next...

- ...are you ready to sing? - Yes... - Yes!

- We'll call you next...wait there - Ok - Thank you, Sir

- What's your name? - Sree Ranjini

Of the senior singers, who is your favourite?

I really like Vani Jayaram's songs

And which of Vani ma'am's songs are you singing today?

I like all her songs...but let me try this one...

Ok...you may start

(sings a famous old song by Vani Jayaram)

- Wonderful! Do you work, Sree Ranjini? - Yes, sir...at an interior design firm

- I am trying to turn independent soon - Go ahead and quit that job!

- Congrats! - Thank you, Sir! Thank you so much! Thank you!

- Krishnanunni! - Sir!

(Judge sings)

Sing me something with Chandrika* in it (*moonlight)

Oh yes! I'll do that!

(Krishnanunni sings an old song with the word moonlight in it)

What's going on, Damodara? What are you cackling about?

He went to this big audition for a music show...got selected...

-...even got a standing ovation from the judges! - No...no standing ovation!

- But they did say they liked it! - That is a green signal, my boy...

Like Rukku Edathi* says, it is your green signal to be the future Yesudas! (*sister)

- Correct! - I...I have something to ask all of you

- Ok - Ok - Now that...he is...

- ...getting into the real estate business... - Reality show!

...ok...whatever!...should he continue to be a driver for that Producer guy?

Shouldn't he just focus on his singing?

He is supposed to be meeting directors... singing in movies...

- ...but nothing has happened yet! - I feel the same!

There is a time for each person!

I was with him for two years and with the contacts I made...

...I was able to make it as a movie Production Controller

You concentrate on your singing for a while...If this clicks...

- ...your life will be a merry ride! - How can I do that?

He did whatever he promised...it's not his fault it didn't work out for me...

I can't quit that job in a hurry... and it isn't right...

I just made it through an audition... I am not a movie playback singer yet!

I too feel you shouldn't quit your job till you have actually made it

It's always good to have a job, brother

I was just asking for your opinions. If that's what you all feel, let it be so.

That's best!

Five, six, seven and...

...and...and...

Five, six, seven and...

Oh! Careful!

Gosh! Listen...

- Is it this way or that? - ...there is no need to flex your muscles!

- It's a simple step! Why are you being so wooden? - I just...

- ...so I need not be stiff? - That's right

What's to laugh at? Huh?

Lousy steps! Come here for a second

- Come - What is it, Krupesh? - Eh? - I mean...sir...

- Do you know how to sew a shirt? - No

- Do you know how to make a paratha? - No - How about beef curry? - No

I can all do this very well. I don't know the things you know...

- ...and you don't know what I know! - Now I understand

if you dare to be oversmart with me again...

...I will get another choreographer who knows how to respect stars

- And you will be out! Shall I do that? - No sir... - Sir!

- You can dance as you wish! - Prakash Sir is here

I'll be right back. By then, set some easy steps for me

I'll do that, Sir!

- Please sit! - You look all sweaty! - I am used to it, sir

- Come, let's go again! - So you have brought the script? - Yes

It's detailed

- Sir...I have something to say but I hope you won't think I am arrogant - What?

I have done only 6 movies so far... and 4 of them hit hundred days...

Two are now in theaters....and doing well..

Thankfully no movie of mine has stalled midway

- I hope you understand my... - You want to know if I can complete this movie

You can ask around if any movie of mine was abandoned midway

- No, sir...I didn't... - It's alright...I...

...wasn't arguing with you, Krupesh

But believe me. I have some NRI friends...

...who will invest the funds. Just tell me when you can do it.

That's all! The funds are ready!

Can I talk to him in private?

Sure!

It's all great to hear there are investors and funds...but will it actually happen?

Prakash sir is a real producer who loves films

- Hmm - Such people should not be destroyed!

Please just read the script, Krupesh

It's your script...I don't need to read it

Sir...if we are proceeding...

- If we are? - ...all the funds should be in the bank...

...and I need to see the statement... is that too arrogant of me to ask?

Uh...

No...not at all.

Ok! Then we will discuss further

- Arun.. - Ok...

- Jiby! - Sir! - Show me the tough steps...

- ...like I was asking for - Idiot! - Why did you agree, sir?

Do you really need to convince him like that? Let's try someone else!

I am not a succesful producer at the moment

So I know there will be some torturing and over-ruling right now...

Doing a movie with this guy right now, is a safe bet for us

He has the satellite rights... and the audience...

And more importantly...the movie can be made in a comfortable budget

But to ask for a bank statement...!

He is concerned about his own survival

Just see it that way...and also, Arun...

...when we are down... it is best to put our ego...

...and pride on the back burner

I speak from experience!

- Hello, Pratheesh? - Yes...as I told you the other day...

...your shoot is the day after. You are free, aren't you?

- Yes I am.. - Ok...and...

...we are starting on the duet round. You remember Krishnanunni?

He'll partner you in that round. And this time it's not movie songs.

You two need to write your own lines and compose the music, ok?

Oh no! I can't compose music

Ok...why don't you two talk and make a plan?

I will send you the lines... don't get worried, ok?

- Ok...see you then! - Ok

Krishnanunni...do you know the old actor, Mohan Kumar?

- Yes - Mohan is a close friend of mine - Oh!

Now that one of his movies is doing well...

...he has some inaugurations and events to attend

- Ok - Could you work for him two months?

I had talked to him about you some time back

But today he called me and asked

By God's grace, one of my projects should be on pretty soon

And then you can come back here

Sir...I have made a lot of efforts to be able to sing in a movie

And that is the reason I started working for you

- I am not really... - To be honest with you...

...even the registration certificate for this car is pawned!

I haven't even paid you for two months

- But Sir...I did not mean... - Let me say something

If the project happens... and I mean it will...

...you will surely have a song - or songs - in it!

I give you my word!

For now, just do what I said

Every change is an opportunity, Krishnanunni!

Ok

- Who are you? - Krishnanunni!

Prakash sir sent me... he said you need a driver...?

So you brought the entire neighbourhood?

Oh no! They are not with me!

We are from the Nair Service Society

- We are here to meet you - Oh! You called yesterday! - Yes

Please come in!

- And Unnikrishnan... - It's Krishnanunni... - Ok...

...Krishnanunni, we will talk after they leave, alright?

- Oh, alright! - And...

The car is a left hand drive... why don't you try it out?

- I'll send the keys out - Ok

Kumari Amma...give him the key

(Krishnanunni whistles a tune)

What's your name?

- Krishnanunni - You're a driver, aren't you?

- Well...yes... - So why are you dressed like you're going to a wedding?

Dress more soberly from now on, ok?

- There's a grown girl in the house - Ok

And this car...is our boss's heart, you know...his heart!

He bought it in his heydays... here is the key

Hey! Take it respectfully!

- So let me tell you why we are here - Ok

The Sunday after next... we would like to give you a reception...

...at the Rama Varma Club

- Is that necessary? - Yes!

- It's a grand comeback after thirty years! - And the movie is doing great!

Just a second!

- Hi Ravi Etta* - Where are you? - At home (*brother)

- You sound upset - Yes...there is something...

Our movie...is being pulled from the theatres tomorrow

Day after, the Christmas release movies are opening...

...and they have no theaters to spare, apparently!

There is a decent collection coming in from all centres

And family audiences were really beginning to take it up

Did you speak to the distributors?

They just considered this a small filler movie

So they had booked theaters for only two weeks, it seems

But the collections are going so good, Ravi Etta...

I can't tell you how upset I am!

I...will call you later

If possible...let's...

...meet up in the evening

Next Sunday we are booking...

...around 1200 tickets in several theatres

To give our members who missed it, a chance to watch it

Why do you look upset, Mohan?

We will pay for the tickets ourselves!

If there was something we could do...

At least till the end of the Christmas vacation...

- ...if we could just hold it in the theatres! - But...

Do you really think I didn't try?

- Do you? - I didn't mean... - The theatres are all over-booked

There are over 160 movies releasing a year now!

All who watched the movie... and called me...kept saying...

...I mean...I really started hoping...

When the awards are declared... I am sure...the movie...and you...

...will win accolades... and then through TV...

...you will reach more people

- Hello! - Huh? - Hey! Are you blind or something?

- Who are you? What do you want? - Didn't recognise me?

Hamsa...Hamsa Randathani...

I don't...

Go back thirty years, just for fun

Your glory days...in old Madras...

I had a desire to direct a movie...

...like my little brother was doing then

I had a fantastic script by Aleppey Sharif...

...and came to you with it. Remember now?

You were so arrogant!

What with Tamil and Hindi and all that...and now where are you?

The other day I was in my car...

...and saw your face on a poster

So I thought I would go and watch your movie

- What a stupid movie! - Hey! Would you just leave, please?

A flimsy storyline and your loud acting!

Didn't it strike you when you watched it?

I just have to ask!

Didn't you ever notice that cinema has changed?

Your times are over, man!

- Stop it! - Mohan, no!

I just want to...

- Sir! - Let it go, Mohan!

- Leave me! - Come away now

What does it matter what a stranger says to you?

We should just decide we won't shoulder the waste flung at us!

Did you hear what he said?

Whatever he said, you should not have let go of your character

You are a fantastic actor!

Fantastic actor indeed!

There has never been a more unlucky actor!

If people like you, who have tasted success talk like this...

...what should people like me think?

My sky-high dreams remain...

...like a zero-watt bulb in the distance!

You are one to speak!

Have you even seen my movie in all these days?

That...is because....well, no.

- No! - But I will, sir...

Then head straight to the theater

- Now? - Yes, now!

It's the final show of my movie

(dialogues from Mohan's movie on screen)

- Hello! - Hello...Krishnanunni? - Yes

This is Sri Ranjini...I am supposed to sing the duet with you tomorrow

- I had sent the tune to you - Yes... but which portion is male and which female?

- What? - I mean...my portion? Which portion am I to sing?

- That is... - Hey you!

- Focus when you drive! - Hello? Is it a bad time?

- Who is calling you at this hour? - Hello?

- Can you hear me? - I...I am driving...and my boss is with me

Don't worry....I will call in the morning and explain

- Ok? - Ok then...good night! - Ok

Listen...about the movie being pulled...

...and my getting into a drunk fight... don't tell anyone here, ok?

Oh no! I won't!

Hello there! How did you get here?

I am here...because Prakash sir asked me...for two months...

- I told you, remember? He's the driver - Dad, he is on the reality show

- Oh! - We are going to sing together tomorrow

- Yes - It's a small world, my dear...

- ...Sri Krishnan... - It's Krishnanunni!

Yes! Krishnanunni! Come in!

- Let's have something to eat - No thanks sir...dinner's waiting at home

- Ok. Good night! - Good night!

- Come, honey - Ok - I...am not really a driver

- It's...just for a few days... - Yes...I got that...it's no big deal...

Alright. I'll see you tomorrow

Are your dark eyes...

...speaking softly to me?

Like a gentle breeze...

...I blend into you

Are your dark eyes...

...speaking softly to me?

Like a gentle breeze...

...I blend into you

Have you arrived upon...

...the shores of love?

And what are the stars...

...whispering fondly to us?

Without a gaze...without a word...

...who is this that has arrived?

Without a gaze...without a word...

...who is this that has arrived?

Are your dark eyes...

...speaking softly to me?

Like a gentle breeze...

...I blend into you

In a secret bough of moonlight

We met once...tenderly...

Upon the fragrant shores of dreams

Why did you appear, gently?

The stars refused to go out

And waited lovingly

Tiny clouds, eagerly,

Look down, refusing to move away

And we faded, unknowing...

With a song in our hearts

We blend into the melody

With a song in our hearts

We blend into the melody

Are your dark eyes...

...speaking softly to me?

Like a gentle breeze...

...I blend into you

Have you arrived upon...

...the shores of love?

And what are the stars...

...whispering fondly saying to us?

Without a gaze, without a word...

...who is this that has walked arrived?

Without a gaze, without a word...

Who is this that has arrived?

- Morning! - Good morning, sir! - Sit, sit! It's a real busy day!

- So...come to the point! - Sir...

Consider Brighty's name... it is so energetic!

It's got great charisma! We need something similar for you!

But I've already done six movies... how can I change my name now?

Sir...better now than when you've done fifty!

- Correct! - And it's not just that...

...when you say 'Krupesh' it sounds a bit like 'Kapeesh'* (*monkey god)

Not to me! I mean others!

So we have found some good, energetic names for you

- Just read it out! - Ok...read!

The first name is...Vinil...

Vinil...Vi...nil...

Nil means nothing...I don't want a name that means 'nothing'!

Ok...the next is a traditional name...

- Pradosh - Pradosh means evening

Meaning it's all over...burnt out...

Right? I prefer the dawn! Read on!

Ok...then...

We have a Russian style name next

- Russian? That's good! - Yes! It'll help when you go to Hollywood! - Ya true!

Ok! Tell me...something like "Myshkin"!

- Brazhnev! - Wonderful! Brazhnev?

- No...let's not take that, Sir! - Why? - When the fans shorten Brazhnev...

...they might call you 'Bra Boy' or something!

- No, sir! - Shall we cut this one out? - Better do that, Sir!

Give it to me! Let me read it... the next name is...

- ...Aakanth! - Aakranth*? (*Greedy)

- No sir...not Aakranth - Aa-kanth - What a lousy name!

I told you he wouldn't like these names!

The next name is energetic...

...exotic...fantabulous!

Aghosh!

Aghosh...

- Good! - Yes...life is an 'aghosham'* (*celebration)

Cinema is an 'aghosham'...so an actor like you should have the name...

- 'Aghosh'! - Point! Point!

- So? - Fix it! - Finally!

Since we are changing my name anyway...

...just between us...what if I added a 'Menon' to 'Aghosh'?

'Aghosh Menon'...how's that sound?

- Nice, nice! - Aghosh...Menon!

A Joshy movie starring Aghosh Menon!

A Priyadarshan movie starring Aghosh Menon!

- Wow! It's quite interesting! - Wonderful!

- I hope the Menons won't take offence - Oh no!

No, no, no, no! Well, I don't know if Biju Menon would cause any trouble

- That's true - Not at all! He's a softie! I can deal with him! - Ok then!

So...let's clap for Aghosh Menon!

- Yay! - Woohoo! - Thank you!

Lord, please take over this innocent's troubles!

He has acted in several movies...

...big and small, but...

...due to ineptitude, superstition, recklessness...

...and many such reasons...

...he lost the empires he built...

...and is now like a dog that lost it's bone...

...completely destroyed and reduced to a pauper

Show mercy on this lost soul!

Hallelujah!

Who says paupered and dog that lost its bone...

- ...in a prayer? - Yes!

God understands us better...

...when we stick to simple prayers

But people are so foolish, they don't get that!

When you have the time, look up Paulkutty Brother on your computer

You'll see lots of testimonies about miracles!

I don't usually make house calls

- This is only because he insisted - I see....

- Hey! - What? - Should I pay him something? - Oh no!

Stay there

If I place a hand on you... I can measure your heartbeats

You should be really careful, Mohan

You have to make it through this year

- What...do you mean? - Whatever came to your mind when you heard me...

...is exactly what I meant

Mohan!

Huh...RC! What's up?

Who do you think you are? A goon? A policeman?

- To be beating people up at the club! - Oh!

He knows what happened there

- If it was you, you would've cracked his head! - Listen...

You are an actor! I stand behind the camera!

- An actor needs to be more diplomatic - Diplomatic...charismatic...whatever!

Just tell me why you have both stormed in all of a sudden

Hmm...I will tell you

From the day the movie released... he...and I...

...and everyone else said, you would win accolades for this

The award that we thought was certain...

...is lost because of that tussle

The screening for the State award selection has been on for the past 12 days

The Jury Chairman was E K Naushad

Know who he is?

The younger brother of Hamsa Randathani, the guy you beat up!

When your name came up for Best Actor...

...he objected...saying your acting was overly dramatic...not realistic...

Also that you were involved in a tussle in a local bar...and so was not deserving

Stupid reasons!

We did not come here to upset you

One lost award is not the end of anything

But...when an award that you deserved...

...was wilfully snatched away... we should aim for something bigger!

Above the State awards, there is something called the National Awards

Let's see what Naushad and Randathani can do at that level!

We are people who have struggled... gone through hardship...

...and dreamt only of cinema!

We need to show that we cannot be defeated even if we face blow after blow!

For that...we need a voice!

Misfortunes in the last minute have always been a part of my life!

I don't want you to try for anything. I will go on as I am.

Sir...

Roles like this don't come every day

- We should definitely apply! - Honey...

- ...google the procedures and formalities to apply - Ok, sure

You never took up the minor roles that came your way

Deep inside, you were always a hero!

Everything happens for a good reason

Whether you want this or not... those of us who wish you to succeed...

...will apply for this for sure!

You deserve this! That is why we are so adamant

- Uncle! - Yes?

- Checked? - January 25th...

- Tomorrow is the last date! - Tomorrow?

The entry should be submitted on or before...

...25th January, 5 pm...

...in the National Film Award Committee Office, New Delhi

That means we have less than 24 hours!

I told you...it's always like this with me

Sir...

Don't think of it as only 24 hours...

Think of it as having 24 hours more!

Let us make an effort! You have put in a brilliant performance! We should try

Prakash...call the Producer and Director and see what can be done

I am presently in Wayanad...Thirunelly...

I am in a shoot for a Government documentary

- All my assistants are here too - So what do we do now?

It needs to be on the 10 am flight to Delhi tomorrow

I will Whatsapp the list of things to do and studios you need to go to

If you try hard enough, it can be done!

- Call me if you have any doubts - Ok

- So what happened? - Like he said...

...we have 24 hours more! Let's give it a shot!

Krishnanunni - I will tell you exactly what we need to do

- You just need to follow my directions! - I am ready to do whatever it takes!

My efforts will be to the maximum. We need this, Sir!

- Let's get started then! - Ok

Like a steady, energetic beat

Like the speed at which time flies

Like the many moments in time That seek tiny shores

Like the speed at which time flies

Why does the dream that was within sight seem to slipping away?

Why has it hidden behind An illusory swaying branch?

The racing fantasies - See you, Dad!

Are at the brinks of my eyes

This night let's all soar, one by one

Every eye with stars shimmering

Slowly, slowly brimming

Rain clouds gently pouring

Once done, they drift away It's Prakash Sir. Put him on speaker.

- Hello, Sir? - Krishnanunni...all ok? - Ok, Sir

You should personally send the courier from the airport tomorrow

- Don't get into anything else before that! - Ok

- Of course! - Got all the papers from Producer Ravi Ettan?

- We are on our way there - Ok, ok - Like a steady...

...an energetic beat, Like the speed at which time flies

Like the many moments in time That seek little shores

Like the speed at which time flies

Why does the dream that was within sight Seem to be slipping away?

Why is it hidden behind Illusory swaying branches?

The racing fantasies

Are at the brink of my eyes Now let's soar, one by one

- What happened? - The car's not getting started - But it had no complaints

- Let me see if I can get an autorickshaw - Ok

- Where's the car? - It wasn't getting started

- But we did everything we had to do! - Great...come and have something to eat!

The flight is at 10, right?

We need to get it to the airport courier office before 9

I'll get my car and be here by 7.30... be ready!

- It's raining so bad! How will you go? - That's ok! I am used to it!

Go carefully!

- Come...have a cup of tea... - Not now...only after we do this!

- What? Aren't you coming? - No...I didn't sleep at all last night

I was thinking about this all night long

Also...when we set out for something auspicious...

- ...we shouldn't go in threes - Oh! Ok! - You two go ahead

- Get going then - Ok, Sir - See you later, Dad

- Hey! The tea is ready! - Not now, Sir! - Ok

Come on, get in!

- Did you have anything else to do today? - Oh no...this is more important right now

I was supposed to meet a girl this evening, that's all

Does this one seem likely to take off? Actually...it's better if it didn't...

- Huh? Why? - Once our show is a hit...

...then the proposals will be flying in! Wait and watch!

But...if someone is interested because of a TV show...

- ...I wouldn't want that person! - Right! Let's see!

- Seems to be a police check for drunk drivers - Show your papers

- Stop, stop! - Doesn't seem to be about drunk drivers - We are doing vehicle checks

- This checking is in relation to Republic Day. Please cooperate. - Ok

- Where are you going? - To the airport... we are in a bit of a hurry - Ok

- What's that? - This is a package to be couriered. That's where we are going.

- Ok - Do you need us to step out? - No

- Sir! - Huh? - Please come over here, Sir!

- What is it? - Sir...take a look at this! - Wonder what's going on

- What is this? - I don't know, sir! - You don't know? - I really don't!

- Whose car is this? - Mine - And where were you going with this?

- To...the airport... - The airport!

- With this? - Sir...I really don't know about this!

- Hey! So you know nothing? - Come with us! - We'll make you talk!

You stick a driving school board and think you can get away with this?

- Sir, please listen... - Sir, please... - I honestly don't know how it got there

Do you think we do checking...

- ...because we have nothing better to do? - Sir...please listen to me...

- Sir...it's an emergency, sir - Hey! Give that here! Your mobile!

Hand over your mobile too!

Sir...there's a hard disk here

- Sir...please don't take that! - Hey! Where are you running off to?

- Sir...that... - Hey. you... - Where are you running off to?

- I need to take that to the airport - What do you think you are doing? Huh?

- Get in...get into the car! - Sir...that is an application - Sir, please listen...

- Sir, we need to send that to Delhi... - Shut up and get inside...you too!

- In! Get inside! - Sir, please sir... - Move! Move!

- Sir...please, please! - Gopi! - Huh? - Get that video and stills

And move that crowd aside

- Sir...could I answer that call? - No!

- Hello? - You bloody fool!

Idiot...ass-face!

Where on earth did you take the car and all my shooting props?

If I don't get 10 guns to the set by 10, the director will abuse me to high heaven!

Sir...he is a movie Production Controller

- He's my cousin - (on phone) Just tell me when you will get here!

- Tell me when you will get here! Speak up! - Hey!

- What do you mean 'hey'? - I am the CI speaking

If you're the CI...I am the Prime Minister! Don't kid with me...

- Just tell me when you'll get here - Just check those things again

What do you want to check, you moron?

Sir...this is a dummy

See?

Sir...this courier has to go on the 10 am Delhi flight

The 10 am flight? What are you saying? It's already 9.20!

It's...a real emergency!

Very sorry...it can go on the next flight

- There is half an hour more - There is no other way, please! - It can't be done!

- Please! - It's too late. We cannot do anything now!

Sir...surely there is something you can do! We are coming from far!

We can't do anything... please stop bothering us!

- Sir please...it's an emergency...really urgent.. - Why didn't you come sooner?

- It's really urgent, sir... - No way!

- It has to reach Delhi by 3... - Excuse me, please...

- Remember me? - I...don't really...

You came to meet me once

- But you had to leave abruptly -Oh...that...that day it...

- The situation was... - Hey! It's alright!

Is this courier such a big emergency?

God, yes! Emergency is an understatement!

It's beyond urgent! Is there anything you can...

Sir...I know this man...

- What can we do now? It's 9.20 already! - Sir, please...

- Just explain it to them! - Sir...please sir...

- Is there anything we can do? - I don't think so

- Please try, Sir - Here...write down the address...quick!

- Ok, sir... - Quick - Sir...the cash!

Hmm...let me see!

- Just tell Antony - Ok...but I will get scolded for sure!

- Now..? - Nothing...that is all...

- Thank you, sir - Thank you, sir - Hmm...alright...

- It's done - Thanks

I don't know what application that is...

...but I sure hope it works!

- Thank you! - Ok

And our next trip here...should be to go to Delhi for the award ceremony

- How about a cup of tea? - Hmm?

And a masala dosa too!

- Ok! - Alright!

- Hey, stop! - What? - Come...come on!

- What is it? - Come on, quick! - That is Aghosh!

- Who? - Aghosh Menon...the actor! - You're kidding! - Listen...

- Are you actor Aghosh Menon? - He is, man!

- Can't you see? - It really is Aghosh Menon!

- You really are Agosh Menon, aren't you? - Yes I am! What's your problem?

What a nuisance! Can't I do some good deeds in peace?

- Well...we just happened to see you and... - Well...this is my character!

Do I have to change my character just because I am an actor?

Can't I just wear this holy garment...

...and carry out some good deeds?

What are you doing? Look here....see?

To you, these may be just packets of food

- But to them these are packets of goodness...of happiness!

- Sir...seeing you here in this outfit... - If I hadn't been in this outfit...

- ...would you have given me any peace? - Sorry, sir! - And now a crowd is here!

I agree you made me a star by watching my movies

But I am also a good person... respect that too...please!

Brother...you are shooting this without my permission

Please...delete it!

If you don't delete this, I will never again to be able to...

...go out like this and help the poor! Delete it, please!

An actor is also a human being!

Everyone delete it, please!

An actor is also a human being...please!

Please!

Actor goes viral on social media!

To a society that is growing more self-centred and losing its humaneness...

...this video sets an example! Young sensation Aghosh Menon...

...has awakened our collective conscience..

...and inspired not just stars but people in all walks of life...

...to take this up as a challenge, says Bollywood star Alia Bhatt...

...on Twitter. It was his selfless plea to delete the video...

...that prompted him to congratulate Agosh Menon...

...says cricketer Rohit Sharma

Of all our plans so far, this is the biggest hit!

It's not just viral...it's crazy viral!

So many biggies tweeting about it... it's almost beyond our imagination!

And the performance by you four... it was sensational!

- No one recognised you! - Thank you! Thank you, sir! - You...come here!

I have switched off my ringtone! If I turn it on, I may go crazy!

He may look tiny...but this idea was his... imagine that!

I expect these kind of ideas from all of you!

I pay you all the same!

So as a motivation to you all...

...I am gifting Sreejith my own gold chain!

- Great! Great! - And that's not all... the latest ...- Hello - Hello Aghosh...

- This is Prakash - Oh...I will hand him the phone - Sir...it's Prakash sir...

- Happy? - Just a second, guys! Just a second!

- Yes, Hello? - That was a good idea... - Aghosh...that was great, man!

No one thought so much...so highly...

- ...of you! - Oh Sir! I have been hearing this all morning!

- By the way...our script...? - Ah yes!

I am halfway through the script... Now that I have this all-India fame...

...I am told not to restrict myself to the South...to move on to North India...

- We could up our budgets too - Oh...

I will spend as much as the script demands

- The demand is what we set, Sir! - Huh?

- Yes! - Oh...Ok, ok...

- Ok, Sir... - Ok, sir... I will put him on...

I shouldn't have called...

- Sir...it's Sreeshant... - Sreeshant?

Sri! Are you throwing the ball alright?

Where are you? How are you?

Speak, bugger!

What's with the suitcase, sir?

These are my memories!

See...look at this...my first ever railyway ticket

- Come on, sit - Ok

The first watch I ever bought...

...my camera...

...mobile phone...and this...

This is from Vahini Studios...

Sivaji Ganesan sir was smoking this cigar and I begged him to let me have it

With the mad craze that I have for movies...

...I am not an actor who should have been cast away like this!

I also had a team with a makeup man and personal assistants

I would pay them Rs. 25 if they asked for Rs. 20

That is something I learned from Prem Nazeer

He would always say... the growth of those around us...

...it automatically makes us grow too

- Why did you ask me to come, Sir? - Oh yes

Could you...

- go the liqour store... - Huh?

- and buy me a bottle? - For who? - For me

- And don't let Sri Ranjini know - Right

You will not be drinking a bottle that I bought for you!

Sir...Prakash sir sent me here...

- ...to be of assistance to you - Enough with the big talk!

- Will you buy it for me or not? - No, sir

Sorry

You just said...when those around us grow.. we grow too

I haven't heard of anyone who grew by turning alcoholic

Today on Give and Take with Mirchi RJ Nilja...

...we have young star, Aghosh Menon

- Thank you - Sir...you've had many hits in a row

And even with movies made on a low budget...

- ...you manage to get super duper hits! - Very true!

And then in between, there was a movie with great artistic value...

...that was running strong in the theatres but was taken off abruptly...

How did that affect you?

I am referring to 'A nearby horizon'

I got that...actually...

I am not the hero in that movie... it was senior actor...

...Mohan Kumar sir...The director...

...tried to put me in an off beat movie and pass it off as new-gen

- And...? - Well, I was all for it

But each movie has it's own fate

But still, sir...when a movie is running as a super hit...

...and drawing audiences... for it to abruptly fall...

When the going is good... even P T Usha...

...may trip and fall!

There is nothing we can do about it! But....

...a movie in which I was a solo hero... the one called 'Blankets...Blankets'...

- ...is a super hit... - This is Aghosh's interview? He is marketing it very well!

Pull over...

(Aaghosh talks in background) - Excuse me, could you call Nimmy?

- Hey! Call Nimmy for me? - Ok!

Please be seated, ma'am

- If I may ask... - Please! - At a time when you are delivering hits...

...what made you change your name to Aghosh Menon?

Good question! Now he will talk about us!

True! Turn up the volume

Aghosh Menon is my real name

If you want, you can check my certificates

- Is that true? - Isn't it? - Of course!

So why Krupesh?

About...Krupesh...

Ten years ago I met a Sanyasi* (*sage)

- Ok... - At Varanasi...

He said, your name should have 'Grace' in it...

- ...and named me Krupesh* (*Lord of Grace) - Oh! - Bloody donkey!

- Idiot! - So what made you change your name now?

He died in an auto accident last week at Guruvayoor

- Oh no! - It was in the local editions of all the newspapers

- You...you are very funny, Sir! - Funny?

- What do you mean funny? - I...meant... - Is it funny to you that someone died?

- That's not what I.... - So sad!

Pathetic!

No wonder people call him Kapeesh!

After all those suggestions we gave!

- Oh, sir... - Bye! - Bye, sir. Thank you

- Yes? - What?

Weren't you going to ask him something?

Want a selfie or something? Go ahead! I am a down-to-earth guy!

- Go ahead! He's really nice! - But I didn't ask anything

Hey! Isn't this Mohan Kumar Sir's daughter?

- Which Mohan Kumar? - The one who acted with you...

We met her once in the theater

- Oh! Why are you acting like a stranger? - Yes, why?

- Why do you do that, huh? - Your dad must be upset about the movie, right?

- So sad! - It made me sad too! - Of course, of course!

I have committed so many movies! I could recommened him, right? - Oh yes!

He's not just saying it...he really will recommend him!

- He's helped out so many, you know! - So...

- ...nice meeting you - Ok - Convey my condolences to your father

Ok? Thank you!

Please convey mine too, ok?

- What a grip that was, Sir! - Huh?

Maybe you shouldn't let go at all!

- What do you mean? - She is the perfect girl for you to marry!

Stop wasting your time with Brighty and...

- ...try this one instead! - She's not bad to look at!

Perfect family background! Great match!

Also...a movie star can get married to another star's daughter

That makes for a great cinema family!

- Shall I talk to her then? - No! No! Now it is on the correct note

That bit of English you threw in at the end...

- ...has left her flat out impressed! - Really? - Yes!

- Hey! - Hello, brother... - Hey! Look who is here!

- The young, charming producer of superhit movies... - Are you asking how I got here?

Come on, brother! Say something new!

Come in...let's sit here...

- I heard from Prakash... - What? - About...

-...the National Award - Oh...we have applied, that's all - And you will win!

You have put in the work to deserve it!

It will be a slap in the face to those who tried to pull you down...

...God forgive me!...when you win this award, mark my words

Let me tell you why I am here

The Sunday after next...

...there is a celebration to mark 100 days of my movie

You have to come and bring Srikutty too! Also, you will be...

...handing out a few mementos... and speaking a word or two...

- Why do you laugh, brother? - Well...

...I have been around all this time...

No one ever invited me to any such event... I wasn't even aware of anything

Brother...in movies...all that matters is where you are now...

There are many resting on past glory

But you shouldn't be among them, ok?

It's when you show up for such events... that people know you are still around

Cinema offers us no privilege that we don't make for ourselves

That's true

- I will come - Good!

Could you center that please?

- Give it to me! - Huh?

Hey you! Everything is looking so dark! Increase the exposure, will you?

- It's at maximum, Sir - Who do you think you are talking to?

When I ask you to turn it up, just do it! Or should I do it myself?

- Ok...turn it up! - I did - Increase it some more

- (muttering) What a nuisance! - You see, Sir?

I have to be involved in everything, if things are to go well!

- Hmm - The strain on me is really huge! - Of course!

Hey you! Don't you understand?

Do you want me to come up there? It's not like you have to bring light from home!

- We can't do anything more, Sir - It's at maximum? - Yes

Turn it up! See this, Sir?

What we can clearly see, he can't!

- What to do with these guys? - If you remove those glasses, Aghosh...

- ...it might look ok - Huh?

Good Lord!

I have made such mistakes too, when wearing these kinds of glasses

- You have? - Yes! Many times! - Ok

- Why are you here again? - About the next step for our project...

Oh yes! I read the script

- The hero and his two brothers, right? - Yes - So...three characters

And there is enough space for all three to perform fantastically

- And we can't predict which one will work out in the theatres - Correct

- Aghosh has gone deep into the script - Yes

So I was thinking...I can play all three!

- Since they are brothers, it's ok if they look the same, right? - Uh...

Yes! For one...

...we can have a trim hair look

The second...can have eyeliner... and wear an ear ring...

...a bit of feminine attitude... I haven't done that before...

So that will give us some variety... and it will make my fans happy!

- Right? You must have seen Sivaji Ganesan in Daiva Makan? - I have

- That's what I have in mind - Huh? - Oh no...that wouldn't work

Don't worry...we can make all of them distinct

I will kill with my acting... take Kamal Hassan for instance...

...he has played around 20 characters in a movie!

It will be great! And you can dub the movie in Tamil and Kannada too!

- True! - He is getting many enquiries from those industries, right?

So many! If you are ok with it, we can start the movie immediately

Uhh...we need some think to think

Just for you, I can make one more offer

- What is that? - Don't pay me for three. Just pay me for two characters!

- Oh... - Wow! What an offer you are getting!

- Take two, get one free! - That's right!

- Think about it and let me know - Ok - I'll see you later, ok?

Alright, where is the director? Get him fast! I need to leave for that reality show

What do you think?

Sir...I would rather throw my script under a running train

- Are you done thinking? Huh? - I...

(humming)

- Here... - Oh...no... - This is not to get drunk with! - No, no!

I haven't touched a drop in 4 years!

You are one to talk!

You be quiet!

- It is the naming ceremony for my 4th child - Oh

The three older ones are girls...I won't let them suffer because of me!

- Here...take this too.. - Oh no...no! That is not necessary!

Keep it! And bring your mother back next week, ok?

I know it's not right to have her working at her age

Huh? Who said I am a worker here?

- Am I, Sir? - Of course not! You are family!

Also...by the time I come back, I guess we will know about your award?

Oh yes! Mom told me about that!

Wait and watch! This time the award will be yours!

- Thank you! - We will take our leave - See you soon - Come, Mom

Come...give me that

Careful...careful now...

- Goodbye, Sir - Bye

- Your eyes seem wet, Sir - It's...nothing

Even if it's only for a few days... when people around you say bye...

...it's hard for me

- What's in that cover? - Oh! I forgot!

There was a courier for you

- Courier? For me? - Yes

Mohan Kumar. Cine Actor.

Wonder who sent me something by courier!

And there is no 'from' address

- That's a big build-up, Sir! - It's harder to open a package than it is to send it!

Must be a mobile phone or something

Oh God!

So a rooster head, some rotten eggs...

...and a sacred talisman is what's got you troubled

It's black magic! I have lost my peace of mind!

Even before...it was black magic someone used againt me...

...that made me lose my stardom...a famous astrologer told me that

If black magic could cause stars to lose their stardom...

...Mammootty and Mohanlal would have been out of work long back!

Surely they have enemies too!

I...that's...but...

...is there any way to balance this black magic?

- Do you believe in God? - Yes!

- Deeply! - If just a rooster head and rotten eggs...

...can beat down your God, what a lousy God that must be!

- That's true - The dark clouds within you...

...seem to have partly cleared now

A title...a recognition...

...seems to be headed your way

If that reaches you...

...you will be a whole new person. Nothing can stop you anymore!

- How's your singing going? - Good

It's going well, Brother... I have a shoot tomorrow

- But it's not singing...it's a dance round tomorrow, right? - Yes

These days, to be a singer, you also need to dance

But thankfully you don't have to sing to be a dancer!

1,2,3...action!

Sweet bloom with a honeyed voice

Let's make some music in the red skies

Sweet bloom with a honeyed voice

Let's make some music in the red skies

See the delicate flowers in the garden

Let's sing and keep them company

Pretty flower, nectar of jasmine

With your beautiful, fluttering doe eyes

When the pretty flower came to you

Did you end up stealing her heart?

Oh Jasmine, Jasmine, Jasmine!

Bring me a honey pot of dreams!

Oh flash of lightning!

Oh sandal laden breeze!

Sweet bloom with a honeyed voice

Let's make some music in the red skies

See the delicate flowers in the garden

Let's sing and keep them company

Like a blue peacock in my dreams

Did you wait for the warm summer breeze?

In the honey of my heart

Were you the touch of sweetness?

The grove is filled with delighful beats

White clouds join in by the river banks

The grove is filled with delightful beats

White clouds join in by the river banks

With not a word to anyone, a star reaches out

Oh Jasmine, Jasmine, Jasmine

Bring me a honey pot of dreams

Oh flash of lightning

Oh sandal laden breeze

Oh Jasmine, Jasmine, Jasmine

Bring me a honey pot of dreams

Oh flash of lightning

Oh sandal laden breeze

The English men are taking me away

- To them, my patriotism is treachery - Oh no!

I doubt I will ever come back

Take him!

Now sit

Good!

Very good...cut it!

- Sir, please sit - No, it's ok, I'll stand - I'll be with you when this shot is done

We are done, honey! It's done!

You were good...we got the shot...

Could someone please...tell her? And take her away?

- Yes, sir - It's ok! We got it! For God's sake... - Come...

- The camera is off, right? - It's been off for a while - I'll be right with you

I'll wait out

That's enough...you can stop now

- How did I do? Did anyone catch on? - Oh no!

I have got it all on the phone

It's sure to go viral on social media

Great for mileage...and you'll get a lot of fans too!

Actor Shreya Lakshmi...unable to get out of her character's skin

- That should be the caption, ok? - Yes

Wah! Can I suggest a few captions too?

Listen...I have been in this industry for about 12 years now

And I have seen many people like you

If you put in half the effort...

...into some honest acting, you can survive longer in the field

Sorry, sir...please don't tell anyone

I won't...but you seriously think no one got that?

Alright then!

- We shouldn't have - Ya...

- Prakash Cheta, hi again - Hi - Please sit

New stupidities of the social media age, right?

It's like going viral is what feeds some people, these days!

- Prakash Cheta...I read the script - Ok?

It's fantastic! I loved it!

That's why I asked to meet

All three characters are awesome

And each needs to be performed differently

You and the director can decide which one I should do

Thank you, Asif

This project is my last hope

Hey! Prakash Cheta...

It's not about money-making... it's your love for the movies...

...that's making your eyes fill up

We can start...maybe in June - July?

- Is that fine? - Yes - And don't bother about my remuneration right now

But...there should no compromise in production

Of course!

This movie will be great, Prakash Cheta! And I will support you all the way

Truly!

Because we are together all the time, people are talking about us

If the media asks...say it's a brotherhood relation...

...and I consider you like my sister

Or it could affect both our careers

- Madam! - Oh Sorry! We did not know! - I said you were in an urgent meeting

Sorry, Sir!

What are you sorry for? We are just in a brotherhood relation

- Right? - Yes...but...a minute, please?

- Where were you? - Why are you here? - There's something important

- The Production Controller called - What about? - Prakash Sir has got...

- ...Asif Ali's dates for his movie! - Oh no!

Yes, it is true...it's out of our hands

- Wait...let's do one thing... - Yes? - Today evening...

...during the 100th day celebration, I will announce it as my movie on stage

And make sure you pay enough people to applaud non-stop when I say it

- Ok? Let's do that! - Madam...sorry!

Why do you keep saying sorry? Didn't I say she is like my sister?

Sorry!

(mutters) Hope this 'brotherhood' doesn't go viral!

This year's super hit movie...

...'Blankets, Blankets'...

...is celebrating 100 days of release today

And now I call upon the Producer of the movie...

...our dear Nandakishor Sir

- You did great! - Bro! - Congrats!

I call upon eminent Producer Prakash Sir to speak to the gathering

There was something in this movie....

...that appealed to the common man

That's what this victory means. When a common man can relate...

...that is when the depth and impact of an art of work increases

Many who worked on this movie...

- ...were given mementos here today - Dad? - Huh? - Krishnanunni's here

- Hey! - What? - Come sit here! - When you see the mementos later...

- ...the memories related to this movie... - No, thank you!

...will come to your mind. The joy is much greater...

...when you have acted in one movie... and it does well...

...and you win a State or National award...

...for your efforts

This movie produced by my friend Nandakishor...

...is an unapologetic commercial movie

But the movie a dear friend of mine acted in...

...'A Nearby Horizon' was a class movie

I am sure many of you have seen it

Before it could succeed as it deserved...

...it was forced out of the theatres

If you are wondering why I am talking about this now...

...in 4 days time, this year's National Awards will be declared

The dear friend I was talking about...

...the famous actor...very humbly...

...sits before us today

Yes!

With great restraint...and clarity...

...he brought his character to life

I have no doubt he is going to win the National Award...

...for Best Actor!

- Heard that? - For his excellence in acting...

...let's give him...a huge round of applause!

Thank you!

- Congrats! - Thanks! - And now the hero of this movie...

...young sensation Aghosh Menon! Let's welcome him with a huge round of applause!

I am happy! I am so very happy today!

To be honest, I have never done a movie...

...with the intention of winning an award!

But the words Prakash Sir said today... about me and my acting...

...fills me with hope

I know the National Award is no longer...

...called the Bharat Award...but I...

...still like to call it that. Bharat Gopi...

...Bharat Mammootty...Bharat Mohanlal...

...Bharat Chandran...and now...

...to have that prefix to my name too...

I want to thank Prakash Sir for showing me that dream!

Bharat Aghosh Menon!

Prakash Sir's next movie...

...will have me playing three characters!

Triple role!! That is another happy news...

...that, with your permission, Sir...

...I would like to formally announce!

Give us a big round of applause!

- There's no going back now! - Well, we might go back a bit

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Someone I respect a lot... the hero of yesteryears...

...Mohan Kumar...acted as my father in that movie...

I believe he has also done a fairly good job

- Don't you think so? - Yes, yes - I seek his blessings too

That is my humble request... and with that...

...I wind up my humble speech

Glory be to the Soldier! Glory be to the Farmer!

Thank you! Thank you! Love you! Love you all!

Thank you!

Now we are at the end of the formal function

- The food counters are open. Please do eat in before you leave...thank you! - Sir?

- May I take your leave? - Ok - I had no idea...

...you liked my character so much!

I liked that! And when our three-role project is out, I will hit the next level

And so will you! Also...

...there was something I wanted to ask you. I will come home some time...

- You can ask me now - No...I need to come home and ask

- Is it? - Yes - Ok, then

- Shall we make a move? Have a drink before you leave - No!

- SRK's team is waiting - Who?

- Shah Rukh Khan's - My God! - Oh...

They are thinking of...a movie in Malayalam with me as hero...

It will be called the 'Lord of the Manor'

They are waiting with the contract...

...and dinner afterwards at Meridian... Shah Rukh will be upset if I don't go...

- So...you guys carry on, ok? - All the best!

All the best! I will be coming to your house soon!

- Ok, Ok - Ok

- See you - Ok - Come quick, please, Brighty

- Shall I ask them to bring the car around? - Is Shah Rukh Khan so jobless these days?

Lord of the Manor?

- He must be making it up! - Come

- Let's go over there - Yes...that's better

It's after a long while I am seeing all of you together

So today we drink to 'Blankets'

'Blankets' is done...and he made money

- True - As Prakash said...

...we will drink to the National Award that is coming to Mohan!

- That's right! - My dear Ravi Ettan! First let me win it!

- Then we can celebrate - We are sure you are going to win

- That's why we say it - If you don't win for this one...

...I will put an end...

- ...to my cinema production - Me too!

- Let's drink to that! - Yes! - Cheers!

Can I tell you both something?

Well, there are only the two of us here... so go ahead and speak

As all those guys were saying...

...if I do win this award...

- Yes? - ...we should go on a trip

Far....somewhere far away...

Somewhere that there is snow... and mountains...

It's been my dream for a long time

- You should come along too - Me? - Will you?

Krishnanunni must be wondering... how much you've had to drink today

- You are so drunk, Dad! - Oh...get lost...you!

(Mohan starts singing an old song)

- Ok Sir - Good night! - Ok...

Honey...

Dad...what is it?

Dad...what happened?

- Kichu! - Huh? - Dad!

- Oh no! Sir! - Dad!

- Sir! - Dad...what is happening?

It's a massive attack...

It is past the stage of doing an angioplasty

Besides he is diabetic too

There are three blocks in his heart

So...24 hours...

...will be very critical

If he can get through that...

...we could do a by-pass surgery in 3 - 4 days

- It has to be done - It can't be done immediately?

He had a massive cardiac arrest

The nerves that lead to his heart are very weak

So the risk element is really high

Honey...don't cry...

Pray for him...that is what you need to do now

An endless grief awakens

Unknowingly...by my side

Tears bloom and fall

Unasked...by my side

The depths of the sea, wielding waves

Bear down on me like summer

A dear, soothing melody

Seeks a voice in me today

An endless grief awakens

Unknowingly...by my side

Tears bloom and fall

Unasked...by my side

Sorry...I was in a shoot... so I just came to know...

There are lakhs on this... spend as much as you need...no issues!

I don't need it...thanks... I have the money

I think he is past the critical condition now

I will be here till evening... so I want you to go home...

...and get clothes and essentials

I will have a room ready by then

An unyielding silence stands afar

Like a searing melody

A cloud, unable to sleep

Approaches as a shower of pain

There is no one by my side

Who could take your place, sweet

To see my hurting heart

And wipe my flowing eyes

As I stumble and fall on these paths

To stand by me, kindly

- Sorry I am late - It's ok...you're here now...

I am going home now... I'll be back in the morning

- I need to freshen up - Ok - The attender in front of the ICU has my number

- He'll call me if there is any emergency - Ok

Not that there will be any emergency

Ok...I'll see you in the morning

- I am leaving, ok? - Ok

- Whose car is this? - My boss's

What's in the package?

Just some medicines... my son is always too busy with movies!

- How is he now? - Seems to be doing better

Does a heart attack happen so abruptly?

Wouldn't he have felt a chest pain or numbing of the arm?

He was rather drunk

- Oh...in that case, he may not have known - True

- Want me to wash it? - Oh no...

- You have dinner and go to bed - Ok

Give him his dinner. I am leaving

- Give me the key...I'll give it a wash - Ok

- Who's with the girl in the hospital? - A friend

There are letters and invitations from some troupes on your table

- Come and have dinner - What mileage do you get on this?

I guess...10 or 12...

Hmm...here...wash this too!

Oh...I see!

(reading) Our troupe....

Come and have dinner. Also, Brother asked if this is yours

(reading) National Film Award...

- Hey! Shoby! - What? - Where did you get this?

That...was under the seat in the car

I got it a few days ago...I saw something about films and put it in the dashboard

What happened, son? Was it important?

How could this happen, Krishnanunni?

Were you so careless in handling this?

You did not tell me anything about the police checking that day

It's RC...hello?

- Yes...hello - Yes...

- What did you find? Any chance? - Speak to Raghu

Prakash...I don't know how to say this...

I got Chaudhary to cross-verify with several officials

It's like we said...if we had known at least a week before...

...they could have somehow pushed it in

- So...? - They haven't even seen the movie, Prakash

The signed affidavit from the Producer...

...how could that go missing?

How do we tell Mohan this?

That's what you need to think about now

I thought one of you would be in front of the ICU

Hey! He is back without any problems... what are you crying for?

It's nothing, child

It's just this uniform and stuff that makes it look serious...it's nothing!

There's just a needle here for the drips... that's all

Why do all of you look so unhappy?

I told you...it's nothing...see?

I am alright

Come...it's nothing, honey...

If this is how it is, I will put him back in the ICU

She's never seen me like this, Doctor. That's why

It's nothing, child...don't cry...

By the way...the by-pass surgery is fixed for day after

Don't let him face any tension

Whatever tension any one might bring...

...it won't affect me today, Doctor

Because I am full of happiness

Tomorrow is the biggest day of my life

The day the Awards will be announced

He went to so much trouble for it! At least...

...that should ensure a good result... am I right?

The nurses said...even under sedation... you were talking about the award!

What is it? Why do you all look so strained?

Krishnanunni...is there something wrong?

Tell me...whatever it is

Sir...

- There was a small... - What? - Krishnanunni!

What's in a...small...award...anyway?

Your health is most important, right?

No...

Right now...to me...it is not

In my life, I have not cared for anything more than Cinema

And then...for thirty odd years...

...I had to live like it was just a dream

And then...God showed me mercy by giving me this character

And this could be the greatest recognition that I get for it

Right now, that is most important to me

You may all think... this is an over-expectation

But it is not like that to me

It is not like that to me...

- Yes, Dad? - How are things?

- He has been shifted to the room - And did you tell him?

- No - What else can you do?

Dad...what I was trying to do for good... ended up...

...so badly!

Come on...don't get desperate now

Your Aunt is here.... she wants to talk to you

- Ok - Here

I came to know about...what happened

I am thinking...I should tell him myself

Oh no...don't do anything in haste

- He has heart surgery coming up - What else can I do?

I cannot really tell you what to do

But just think that what you do is for another's happiness

A way will open up...it is sure to!

I guarantee you that!

Hmm

You have to give it to the people in ICU

It's like you are in the middle of the sea! No Tv...no news...

We won't know about anything

What is with all of you? Why do you look so unhappy?

Did the doctor says it's so bad?

Dad! Please don't worry unnecessarily!

You are in hospital

Wouldn't all of us be sad about it?

I am only saying you shoudn't be

You know what I think? We should just tell him the truth

Prakash...don't be silly

I won't let you say anything that could upset him right now

- God! - Sir...

Can I suggest a way out?

My thoughts were running wild... and suddenly something occurred to me

When I mentioned it to Sri, she said to discuss with all of you

Just get to the point now

How would Mohan Sir come to know...

...whether he has won or not?

He has a TV in his room... he will see it on the news

- Yes - What if the news on his TV...

...was something we created?

- What...what? - A newscast that says Mohan Sir won

What if we were able to shoot that... like in the movies?

And then...we connect it to the TV in his room...and he watches it?

What foolishness, Krishnanunni! That is your bright idea?

Suppose we do show him something like that...

...and even supposing he believes it...

...in a few days, he will realise the truth, won't he? What then?

By then, his operation would be done and he will be healthy

That's true...but...

- Well, that's true... - So...

...if we do proceed as per this plan...

...can we get it all done by evening tomorrow?

We can try...we can get it done somehow!

No, no, no, stop! No more ideas!

Whatever you say, I won't let you deceive him!

- Sir... - He may be terribly upset...

...but I will explain things to him

- Prakash... - Sir...

He has a surgery the day after

You have to think this through

Sir...

This happened because of me

It was my carelessness

Let Mohan Sir go into surgery happily

The rest...we can deal with as it comes

Sir, please...

Hey...here is a list of all that you need to get and arrange

Studio floor can be done... camera can be arranged...

- Someone who can speak English well - Mark that as important

All this can be taken care of

- Hey... - Yes? - So this is the first script I will be directing?

So you're a newbie? Over here then, Speilberg!

Passing by in the flash of an eye

Like a magic trick - is life

Shimmering and swaying

Like a kite - is life

Let's walk on without faltering

We have battles to win with no shield

Unsaid, unknowing, let's transform into flighty petals

- Do you have everything I asked for? - All the pictures are in here

- In here? - Yes - But all of them look like Malayalis

- But they speak Hindi well - That's not enough...they should also look the part

That's a must! I told you over the phone!

Oh Hara*! Hari-Hara-Sutha** (*Shiva) (**Ayyappa)

Let us always be aware of the truth

Oh Hara! Hari-Hara-Sutha!

Bless us always with peace

Passing by in the flash of an eye

Like a magic trick - is life

Shimmering and swaying

Like a kite - is life

Like dolls in a puppet show

Here we are, playing along

There is no time to waste

Let's know the truth, in haste

One day...one day truth will prevail

And this tale will become a tale too

And amid a lot of memories

These moments will be treasures

Like a white feather that comes along to a drowning person

- I've never done this in real life before - Us too.. - It's my first time

- It's for a good cause - Right - It's a crazy situation

- Ok? - Action!

Oh Hara! Oh Hari-Hara-Sutha!

Let us always know what is right

Oh Hara! Oh Hari-Hara-Sutha!

Bless us with peace, always

Thank you

- Hello? - Hello...it's Krishnanunni

Yes...how's it going?

Brother...I feel so guilty

- We are deceiving him after all - There is no need for guilt

Your intentions are good

If a small wrong can bring good to someone else...

...God won't consider it a wrong

Talk to you later...call me when it's all over

Alright

The National Film Awards will be declared today

Our reporter is joining us from Delhi with the details

A short while ago, a member of the Jury told the media...

...that of the movies that were in the running this year...

...what caught their attention were the unconventional themes and performances

- In the last six years, such a unanimous.. - Who's it? - I don't know

It is Aghosh...Aghosh Menon... the young superstar...

Oh...tell me, Sir...what's up?

- Your Dad's surgery is tomorrow, right? - Yes

I am on my way there

Is he able to talk?

Uhh...is it urgent?

Well...yes...

- I would like to marry you... a little bit... - What?

No...I mean...I would like very much to marry you

What is your opinion about that?

- Is that why you are coming here now? - Next week is my birthday

I thought...before that... we could fix things up...

...and finalise it

And once the surgery is done, it could take two months or so...

...for him to recover and be able to talk and all that

For the same reason that you just said...

...Dad already fixed my wedding this morning

Oh my God! What happened...

...to fix your wedding so suddenly?

Well, my Dad just felt like it

- Pull over to the side, man - What? Hello?

I was talking to someone else

Girl...I want to say this again

What you are losing...

...is a colourful life...

You know...big house... plenty of cars...

...glamour of stardom...and award nights...

...an awesome...terrific life!

Do you want to give it some more thought? I can give you one more chance

- What's that, Dad? - Hello?

Dad's calling me...I am hanging up now

Just tell him...that I was asking about his health...that's all...

Ya, ya...sure!

- That one slipped through, didn't she? What will you do now? - Hey!

- Just drive, will you? - Ok!

- Madam? - Yes?

When should I ask Doctor Raghu to come?

- After ten minutes - Ok, Madam

Doctor...you have to create a gap

- So we can connect this pen drive to the TV -Ok

- All ok here? - Yes - Then let me go get my surprise

- All this happened because of me...so I want to make amends - Ok

- Let's go in - Ok...come on

No wait...I will come in later, saying Congrats and all that

You go in now

Ok...all the best!

Oh God!

Are you glued to this all the time?

The awards will be declared now. That's why I am glued to it

Ok...I need to give you an injection... let's get over with quickly

- Just turn around - Ok

Isn't it nurses who usually give injections?

- Why are you doing it yourself, Doctor? - Just so it wouldn't hurt too much

Ouch! This is what you call hurting less?

- Hey! Don't change the channel - My hand slipped on the remote, Dad

Ok...just set it back to the news channel

Be quick...I want to hear from the start

And now the moment cine lovers and critics...

...and media have been waiting for - the declaration of the National Awards

The news of your award...is right here... in the newspaper

See?

I told you about a surprise

How could it...be in the papers? It was just declared now

Oh...let me see...this is an evening paper!

It says "Mohan Kumar is in contention for the National Award"

- That is what it says - Oh.., - In contention?

- What are you reading out? - Yes...that is what it says

- Just give it to him...what's with the slow motion? - Pass me my glasses

- Ok - Hello, Mr Mohan!

- Congratulations! - Thank you, doctor!

So you will cooperate with me tomorrow, without any tension?

I have absolutely no tension left, Doctor

I have a small request to you

When I say it, no one here may agree

So...just one minute...

...could you all wait outside?

Could I speak to the doctors alone?

- Please - Ok...come on... - We have some other ideas too

You too, honey...

Do you have clay in place of brains? My hands and legs were shaking!

- I just wanted to give him a surprise - Don't make me give you one!

It's only 5 minutes since the declaration - how could you get tomorrow's paper today?

- Ooh! - This was your big surprise?

It was our luck the doctor walked in!

- Here! Take your surprise! - Let's put it away

I am...so happy...I am in a state of ecstacy, doctor!

In my life...I never thought I would win such a big honour...

I didn't even dream about it!

On a day that I am so happy...

...I don't want to be lying in a hospital

Today...just for this one day...

...please allow me to go home

I just want to...see my home to my heart's content!

Sleep in my own room

Just for today...I will be back in the morning

Please don't say no, doctor

- Mohan...your surgery is tomorrow - What if I...

...never get to go again?

It's just...

Doctor...if God has brought me to this situation...

...as He is giving me all this happiness...

...I feel slightly scared, Doctor

Doctor please...just this one day

Please!

A cloud that disappeared into the night

Turned into a torrent from my eyes

A time that had moved far away

Will it ever come back, this way?

Days filled with sweetness

Were like the misty mornings of December

To be with me once more

Will they ever return?

Memories fade one by one

And float within me like petals

We'll take your leave now...we will be at the hospital in the morning

- Mohan...no need to get tensed - Hmm

Mohan...

What are you thinking about, Dad?

About you

What else would I be thinking about?

If anything happens to me...

...you, my child...

Departures hurt...

...not the ones who leave...

...but the ones around them

The people they love

Great!

Is this why you came home?

Go to your room, honey

Come...sit here

- Listen... - Yes...

I dont know why...but my mind is...

...harbouring a fear...

...that the end is near

- Sir...please don't... - Just let me speak

If something does happen to me...

But...sir...

I want you to take my ashes...and...

...remember once I talked...about snow...

...and mountains?

At such a place....you...

I know nothing will happen...but...

But if it does...I want you...

- Sir...please... - Who else can I ask?

An endless grief awakens

Unknowingly, by my side

Tears bloom and fall

Unsaid, by my side

I know you will pray for me, Brother

Go and come back all freshened up, Mohan

So much good has happened, Mohan

And it will always be so... till the operation is over...

...we'll all be right here

Go in happiness

- Ravi Etta... - Yes...

- RC - Hmm

- Krishnanunni? - Yes, sir?

You have a good heart

May good befall you, always!

Here...keep this...it is for you

I am not the Best Actor

You guys are! I forgot the pain of losing...

...when I saw all of your acting!

I am actually a lucky man

To have people like you... who value my happiness...

...more than I do!

Mohan Kumar Fans!

That's all I need!

Cut it! Good, Sir!

- Just good or very good? - Very good, sir!

- You can get up now... -Wait, wait!

- What? - When you act dead in a scene...

...you have to look at the camera and smile as you get up

- Get the camera rolling again - Oh...ok...

- Camera...roll please! - Rolling, sir!

- Was that ok? - Terffic! Come over, now

- Are you happy, Producer? - Very happy!

- So when is the trip? - Tomorrow

It's the same Delhi flight...the connection is from there

It's good you are going... but the temperature is in minus there

Don't get your throat strained. When you get back...

...you are singing two songs for this movie

- Come on up! - Aren't you panting, sir?

- Mine is new! - Oh yes! - Come

Come on, come on

My dear Mohan Sir...initially, I also felt...

...that awards were a big deal

But now I realise...

...among stalwarts like Naseer, Satyan, Thikkurissi and P J Antony...

...Mammootty and Mohanlal who have lorded over the Malayalam film industry...

...just to be an actor among them...

...is the greatest award you could get, Sir

The greatest recognition!

Like a thousand clouds

Do watch over me

I am as an infant

Do protect me

Eyes turned upward

I stand here to sing

By my side, in kindness

Won't you listen?

I wish the best for the tug-of-war at Vallakkadavu

I pray you win the first prize which is a bunch of bananas and 25k

Tug-of-war is a game where, the farther you go back, the more you get ahead

I am right with you on this... my prayers are with you

Your very own Aghosh Menon!

Damn!

- What are you so glum about? - After our wedding photos and video went viral...

- ...we haven't had anything go viral for a while

Likes, comments or shares...

- nothing is showing any progress! - Is that all?

We can fix that right away... In our hearts...

- ...Lalettan* (*Mohanlal) - Lalettan!

- Twirling his moustache... - Lalettan!

- He steps up in style - Lalettan!

- His lopsided walk! - Lalettan!

- Lalettan! Lalettan! - Lalettan!

- Next week we will do one on Mammookka* (*Mammootty) - Wonderful!

What'd ya think?
