'Varayan'

If the sexton Mathayi has rung the first bell for the Sunday Qurbana,

Tresya Chedathi would hang a first class piece of buffalo meat at her meat shop.

That's a guarantee.

That's a tradition us, the people of Kalippakkara, have been following.

Here you go.

While the sexton prepares the water and wine for the Qurbana,

Tresya Chedathi will chop up and prepare the best rib piece,

which would give great vigour to us, the people of Kalippakkara.

If she pays special attention in making the rib cut,

when it boils the stove, the aroma would even reach heaven.

The townsmen who become decent only on Sundays, because they have to go to Church,

and their wives who finish all the cutting and chopping before going to the Church,

to get Tresya Chedathi's buffalo meat on the stove once they're back,

are a specialty of Kalippakkara.

Got it?

Move away.

Mary, make it fast.

If we don't reach the Church before the speech,

we'll hear a mouthful from Father Carlos.

He's better than you,

who asks if the meat is ready, even before the Qurbana ends.

Vareeth was a real hero of Kalippakkara,

who took Tresya Chedathi's rib meat cut home,

9 months in a row.

But he's too weak now. - Stop it.

To struggle so much for it, is it the world cup of Kalippakkara or what?

So no one told you anything before you came here?

What will they say? - It's a phenomenon, sir.

On every Sunday, our Kalippakkara splits into two sections.

The ladies go to the Church,

and the men go to Chanthaykkal.

Those who come late, can go straight to the cemetery.

Don't come inside the Church.

Is this the time to reach the Church?

She should have heard some more.

Move.

Mary, I hope I can die before you come for Qurbana on time.

Then why are you delaying it? Just die, you hag!

Let this town prosper.

The priest thinks that the people and even God comes there,

because they are scared of him.

But there's a secret that he hasn't found out yet.

All these people and God come here on Sundays,

to listen to our Minnukkutty's song.

'Rise within me like the full moon'

'O flame of love, O saviour of the world'

'O Lord, take me along with your herd of sheep, to put an end to my tears'

The Qurbana will happen at the Church.

But the festival happens at Chanthaykkal.

People from all nearby villages come here on Sundays.

They can buy great buffalo meat,

and if they're lucky enough, they can see a local street fight.

You've been chopping it for so long.

We have other works to do, you hag!

Call your daddy that!

You bloody Vareeth! - Yes?

If you act too smart,

I'll chop you up and put you along with the meat.

He doesn't have enough meat. It can only be used for soup.

Sheesh!

Your dad got his share for the day.

A full day is remaining, right? So much more is yet to come.

He's a loser now.

The actual big guys are yet to come.

She's packing the trigger for that fight now.

Look!

This is the robust rib cut meat,

of a strong buffalo which I picked myself, from Vattakkulam market.

There are 5.5 kilos.

Count it as 5.

1500 Rupees.

If there are powerful men out here,

quote a higher price and take it.

This is enough.

No one else has to bid here today.

What's your problem?

Awww!

The tide has changed, Georgy.

Thommi says that he wants it.

Then why don't you fight it out and decide.

Georgy!

Hit him!

We must take that meat. Knock him out.

[crowd cheering for both Thommi and Georgy]

Kick him, Georgy. Knock him out.

Georgy, get up!

Hit him!

Pin him down!

Thommi! - Georgy!

No! No! Put the knife down!

Move away!

'The lady Sun is coming'

'There's no match for her, she won't falter, she's means trouble'

'This is not a dream or a story. You are done for!'

'There's no match for her, she won't falter, she's means trouble'

Did you like my lock, Georgy?

This meat will be cooked in my house!

Have you had enough?

Move!

Make way!

What say, Chedathi?

Shall I take it?

Oh no!

What can I do now, Thommi?

Daisy has wished for it.

It's just because you're Esthaki's daughter. Got it?

Move away, all of you!

This is how men should be!

Right, dear Daisy?

No.

Not strong enough, Chechi.

This is Daisy.

She was married once, sir.

She broke it and came back here.

She's truly her father's daughter.

The daughter of the fox of Kalippakkara.

I also want to cook and taste this meat, Koshychaya.

You will crap, sir.

What?

I didn't say that to worry you.

It's true.

If you go there for the meat, wearing this uniform,

they will make you crap!

My dear sir, though I am from this town,

even I won't enter that place, wearing the uniform.

And there's only one man who wears a uniform in this town.

That's not because they are scared of his uniform.

They are scared of his tongue!

It's dangerous, sir. Forget that desire.

And if you're so adamant,

I'll fall at Tresya Chedathi's feet and arrange some for you.

Aww!

Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you? - Not at all.

Let me try once.

After all, I'm the SI of Kalippakkara police station, right?

Shouldn't I have that swag?

If you stay idle, you'll get your salary at least.

If you do your job, you won't be there to receive your salary.

That will be the end of your swag, sir.

Sir!

Look at that map.

There's water all around.

It's a lake that kills people, sir.

Even before you came here,

many policemen have gone there.

And many of them were found in different forms from there.

And some of their bodies were floating in the lake too.

Kalippakkara. Outsiders not allowed.

This is an island where criminals used to be dumped,

during the British rule, sir.

Once you enter this place,

you can leave only when the people of this town give you permission.

Hey! Stop there!

Stop there, I say!

The culprits of many kidnapping cases from Kerala,

are from our town.

You can find many dead bodies at the bottom of Kalippakkara lake even now.

Those who go outside for hit jobs come back here, secretly.

Outsiders who come here after doing hit jobs elsewhere,

can't be sniffed by crows or cats,

or even the police dogs.

All of us in this town are together in that, sir.

To tell you the truth,

even I don't like other people coming here to rule us.

Even if I enter that place wearing the uniform,

I feel angry towards myself, sir.

Shall we put an end to your anger today then?

Ask them to get the vehicle, Koshychaya.

Is that necessary, sir?

Stop prancing around and get the vehicle ready, Koshychaya.

Have the officers lost their way?

Hit it, dude.

[Singing a Christian prayer song]

Chechi, can you pass that ball?

Get lost.

[prayer song continues]

Here comes the new S.I.

New S.I.? - Look over there.

[prayer song continues]

Is this the Kalippakkara you told me about?

Apart from these religious women, are there no men here?

Oh no, sir.

[prayer song continues]

Hey! Get it. - Throw it.

[cops also singing the prayer song]

What?

Koshychaya, what were you thinking when you came here with them in your uniform?

I had warned him several times.

But he wanted to come here right away.

Are you happy now?

Thommi, come here. - What is it, Chedathi?

Here! Just scrape that S.I. kiddo.

Otherwise, they will come again to show off.

We'll decide whether to scrape him or rip him apart, after Varkeychan comes.

Now stay on your knees and pray!

Clap and sing aloud, boys!

We're trapped, sir. - Come on, sing.

Don't just stand idle over there. Perform some miracle.

It's been ages since this donation box became full.

What are you doing?

The donation box is full of termites, Father.

I was scraping them out.

Let the termites stay there.

Enough with your scraping.

Give me the Church's key. - But it has been with me for ages, Father.

Why are you asking this suddenly?

The Church's key should be with the priest of the Church.

Give that key to me, Esthaki.

But, Father...

Father! Father!

Go fast, Father.

Or there would 5-6 dead bodies at the Chapel junction.

They're making the new S.I and other policemen,

kneel down and recite funeral prayers.

These guys are the limit!

Stop gaping and get the Jeep, Esthaki.

Get into the Jeep, Father. I will talk to God and come.

Come.

God, don't mess with me.

You betrayed me, right?

Only one God is enough here.

That's me.

Clap and sing aloud, Koshy.

[prayers continue]

Go fast, Father.

Nice! Policemen, goons, prayer groups and a priest.

Such a beautiful village.

What nonsense is this?

There he goes again.

You call yourselves policemen?

If you're here to do your job, do it.

If you don't have the courage for that, sit at the station.

Get up. - Aren't you coming out?

What?

I didn't hear you.

Get up and go.

Go back to the station.

Go! Get up!

Go! Go!

Go! Go!

Esthaki Anna, Father is a real tiger.

What kind of policemen are you?

Are you the new SI? You go first.

The new SI is here to see Kalippakkara!

What do you want to see here?

Go back to the station. Get up!

Get up and go!

Varkey, no!

Let them go. I'll talk to them.

[crowd shouts in panic]

Oh God!

That's Varkey!

Correct measurement indeed.

Father!

This is our land!

We don't need an outsider here,

to rule us.

Be it a soldier,

or a priest.

Understood?

Father! Father!

Did you stab Father with that knife, you scoundrel?

Father!

Go inside the Church for the time being. - Okay.

I'll deal with this.

Come on, let's take him to the hospital. Lift him up.

Lift him up.

Come on, fast.

Put him in the car.

Go fast.

Father Carlos is okay now.

His internal organs haven't been injured.

That was God's grace.

But...

it will take time for the wound to heal.

They know exactly how and where to stab.

If he tries to rule them, they won't spare even Father Carlos.

Whatever it is, we need to make an appointment there at the earliest.

My dear Bishop,

as the Bishop's secretary,

I have made a detailed and psychological study about that village.

Including the Church, market, coconut fields and everything else,

it comes up to 38 acres of land.

There are 110 families in the Parish.

Though the population density is less,

a good amount comes from the market's rent and income from the coconut fields.

Moreover, during the tourist season,

a good amount falls into the St. Antony's donation box from tourists.

With the money they collect for the fireworks of their Church festival,

we can have fireworks in all our Churches.

Despite all this, when the Diocese asks for it during the year-end, there's nothing.

If we try really hard,

if we can get those people on our side, with the help of a good priest,

Kalippakkara Parish would be an asset for the Diocese.

Here, drink it.

Since you've studied in such detail about that Parish,

you should take charge as the Vicar there.

Me? - Yes.

Father Aju Pallippuram.

Kalippakkara Parish priest.

Sounds so nice!

It won't feel so nice when I get stabbed, Bishop.

My poor parents are waiting for me to reach Rome.

I'm not saying this because I've studied psychology.

There's no need for a priest there now.

Why should anyone go there to get stabbed?

Is that why we've worn this vestment?

Father Secretary has a point.

There's a townsman there.

He controls the entire Parish.

Should we experiment by sending another priest there, Bishop?

How many people have gone there like this?

That village is like that.

They will never reform.

I can't take that decision, right?

I have decided to send someone there, anyway.

Whom?

Father Aby Capuchin.

I've asked for permission from the Provisionary Priest.

Who? That idiot?

We had studied Theology together, Father.

He can't deliver a speech properly.

He can't speak English properly.

He doesn't know how to make money for the Church from any Parish.

He just keeps drawing pictures, which no one wants.

How can someone like this, be given the charge of a Parish?

Since none of you are ready to go there,

Aby will go there.

He'll just hang around there, drawing and painting.

He won't do any good for the people,

and we'll have a priest there, for namesake.

Who made him the Bishop?

The Church hasn't taught that you should fill all the holes in this bread.

Did you have to take such a risk, at such a young age?

Hey! I'm not saying this because it's my Parish.

The people there are dangerous.

Though I'm the sexton, you shouldn't underestimate me.

I'm also a famous goon of Kalippakkara.

People call me 'Kalippu' (Angry) Mathayi.

[Cemetery Road]

People don't usually take this route.

There's a cemetery nearby.

I've heard that many people have seen ghosts there.

But I've heard that you Capuchins are experts in catching ghosts.

That's why I took this route.

When I get free time, I also catch ghosts.

He doesn't speak or what?

He speaks only when necessary.

Otherwise he doesn't. That's his habit.

Very nice habit.

How many years has it been since you became a priest?

How many years has it been since you became a priest?

But it has been 5-6 years since I died.

There's an open grave near that tomb there.

I was buried there.

Oh God! A ghost!

Someone please save me!

He was bragging so much!

Look how he ran away!

Abycha, do these ghosts actually exist?

I also thought they didn't, initially.

But seeing him run,

I doubt whether they do exist.

Abycha, I'll have a nightmare!

Abycha...

Abycha!!

Abycha!

Ghost!

Ghost? - You scared me!

Abycha! - What is it?

This must be the first time in the world.

What?

A priest beginning his service by peeing in the Church compound.

From what I've heard,

I don't think I can pee hereafter.

Maxima Muller Capio.

Pee as much as you can!

I said that in Latin.

Abycha!

What happened? - It got stuck.

When you spend money to buy an underwear,

don't wear it on your head in the cold.

Go and wear a Mundu.

If that sexton is still alive,

I need to get the keys of the Church and Clergy House from him.

Come fast, Keppa. - Coming!

[Singing a local folk song]

You're walking around with this gun, to catch this small chicken?

Have you come here to drink,

with this chicken full of feathers?

Kunjumon, sell it to the toddy shop, and by two chicken curries.

Or I swear on the Saint. I won't give you a drop from this.

That's nice.

If I go there with this, they will close the shop and come here.

Then we'll be f.....

[folk song]

Hello! Brothers!

Brothers!

Where is the sexton's house?

Do you know where the sexton's house is?

You're asking for the sexton's house sitting in that?

Come out!

Abycha, did you hear him? He's being disrepectful.

Shall we slap him?

Keppe, my darling, calm down.

This is a new place.

Are your butts stuck there?

Come out.

Come.

Come with me.

Isn't this the sexton's vehicle?

Where did you get it from?

Didn't you hear him?

Where are you coming from, with this, in the morning?

Not in the morning...

Where were you last night?

Is that a real gun?

Answer me first.

We... I am Aby.

The sexton.. .at night...

He ran away.

Let him go, Kunjumon.

Don't you have any other job?

Look at him shivering.

You may go, kids.

Come fast.

This is the new Vicar of your Church.

So you're a priest?

Then why don't you conduct the Qurbana before you go, Father?

Qurbana? Here?

Why, Father? You can't conduct the Qurbana here or what?

Then there's another place where you can do that.

Father, we're in trouble. - Walk, Father.

Come on. Walk, Father.

Kunjumon!

Come on, walk.

Climb on it, Father. - Kunjumon, no!

Let them go.

They will fall down. - Now conduct the Qurbana.

Kunjumon, let them go. They will fall down.

He's a priest.

Esthaki Annan will decide which priest will come to this Parish.

I'll kill you both with one shot.

Abycha!

So he got baptized again.

What's wrong with you guys?

Forgive them, Father. They were just kidding.

Keep quiet, man. - Hey! Hey!

Stop there. What's wrong with you guys?

Whenever you see a new guy, you'll start bullying him.

Even Esthaki has told you not to bully the tourists who come here, right?

You're still causing trouble here?

Chedathi, he's not a tourist.

He's the new priest of our Church.

When he said that he's a priest, they got angry.

I was the one who stopped them.

Are you really a priest?

Yes. - Yes, he is.

He is really a priest. - Really.

Then go ahead and wear that vestment, Father.

Oh my God!

Praise be to Lord, Father.

Praise be to Him, now and always.

You're so graceful, Father.

Now you should always wear this vestment.

Okay. - Isn't that right? - Yes.

Mathayi, isn't that your vehicle?

Where were you, sexton?

You ran away last night, right?

Even the ghost got scared.

Can I get the Clergy House's key, Mathayi Chetta?

That's with Esthaki Annan.

He has gathered the people and gone to the Church to welcome you, Father.

Let's go there. - Okay, come.

Don't get so excited.

Even the stabbed priest...

got such a grand welcome initially.

Shall we get down?

Come on, welcome the priest with the garland.

Have you come with the priest? - Yes.

Come here. Here you go.

My dear people,

we have got a young and smart priest,

as the Vicar of our Parish.

Our Kalippakkara Parish has always loved and respected priests,

and has always been obedient and loyal to them.

To the pride of our village,

on behalf of each one of you,

and on behalf of myself,

I welcome this priest.

Come on, clap for him.

My dear people,

I welcome this priest to our Parish, by giving him the key of our Clergy House,

Hey! Hold this.

The big one is the key of the Church. Give it.

I'll keep both of them.

Abycha...

Are they cruel people or idiots?

Get lost.

They are such nice people. Didn't you see?

Don't talk ill about them.

Okay.

Nice.

The place is nice.

But we need to set up this place properly.

Let's ask those idiots.

They will do it quickly.

Father, how was our welcome?

It was grand.

I felt relieved only now.

You don't have to worry about anything.

I will handle everything here.

You just have to conduct the Qurbana.

If he gets a chance, he will do that too.

He's the Pope here.

So, Father...

The garland, bouquet and fireworks...

All that would be... [calculating]

4500 Rupees.

Fireworks are so expensive these days, Father.

Then why didn't he lock it up instead of bursting it?

What?

Come inside, guys. He is our priest.

These are our boys, Father.

How much is it? - It's our Parish, right?

You can decide, Esthaki Annan.

Why are you saying that?

The Parish is different. Accounts are different.

Tell me how much you want.

Give us 1500 Rupees.

Send them away first, Father.

Just give them 1500 Rupees.

But wasn't it part of the welcome?

Should I bring money from my house for welcoming you?

This is how it is in this Parish.

Come on, pay up.

We don't have change to return the balance.

We'll adjust it during the next performance.

Get going.

Get lost.

Don't worry, Father Aby.

I know that you won't have money with you.

Here. Keep this.

I'm the one who helps people here, when they are in need of money.

Then why wouldn't I give it, if you need money?

So, adding this 10,000 and the 4,500 for the garland and fireworks,

to a round figure, it would be 15,000 Rupees.

Please keep that in mind.

I'll cut it every month from your stipend.

I'll take some interest too. Please don't mind.

Shall I leave then?

Father, if you want to unload your luggage.

Varkey is here. We can make him do it.

No, Chetta. We'll do it ourselves.

Yes. We'll do it ourselves.

You don't have to pay him.

He's our man.

He's the one who stabbed Father Carlos.

So he didn't come there to welcome you, because he was embarrassed.

There's no one who doesn't obey me in this Kalippakkara.

Especially Varkey and tiger.

They are both loyal to me.

What is this, Mathayi? Why didn't you tell him all this?

Father, okay then.

Keep the Church's key safe.

You are lucky, Father.

You entered the Church clerk's tab book, as soon as you came, right?

Mom, come fast.

This will get burnt now.

What's the delay in frying some pepper, Mom?

You never get into the kitchen otherwise.

But you'll reach here when it's time to cook the meat.

Hey! Don't put everything into that.

It will become really spicy.

Let it be spicy, Mom.

What good is the buffalo meat,

if it's not spicy!

What is he doing?

Hey! If you're sad that your husband left you,

you shouldn't vent it out by drinking from the bottle I bought with my money!

If we're drinking out of grief,

you should be drinking more than me today.

That young priest easily took away the Church's key,

which you hadn't given to anyone so far.

I had seen you standing there shocked and embarrassed.

This Esthaki won't get shocked and embarrassed so easily.

All the priests who have landed in Kalippakkara so far,

came here to try their luck against me.

That's why they came all the way from the Bishop's house.

It's not like that now. This priest is an innocent chap.

Not just the Church's key, I can trust him even with the title deed of this house.

If I can carry the whole of Kalippikkara,

in this interest book,

and within my palms,

I can control him also, very easily.

Yeah, right. You won't do a damn thing.

With the games you've played against our people and grumpy old priests,

if you go to smart young boys, you will learn a lesson!

Hey!

Abycha..

Abycha, wake up. It's morning!

Abycha!

Wake up!

Let's go take a bath.

Come on.

Black tea.

Nice!

Go, take a bath. Come on!

Abycha, I'm not in a mood. - Go take a bath.

I'll bathe when I'm in the mood. - You haven't bathed in so many days!

Come on, bathe.

Abychaa.. - What is it?

Do you know that this is a punishment transfer?

First you learn to say that properly.

You keep on cracking these stale jokes.

The transfer to this Parish is a punishment you got,

for being irresponsible and just drawing all the time.

So try and get acquainted with the people of this village.

Give me the brush.

Are you the priest here or me?

You are the priest.

But I'm the Bishop here.

I won't allow you to go wayward, under my guard.

Calm down!

As if I'm dying to meet the people of this village.

Get lost!

Disconnect that call.

Don't play around. - Give it here.

Come! It's for a good deed, right?

Stop this child's play...

and try to live as a priest.

Come on. - Who are you? My dad?

If you act too smart, I'll send you back to the orphanage.

Praise be to Lord, Father.

Didn't fall? - Now and always!

I'll make you fall next time.

Praise be to Lord, Father.

Now and always.

I don't need too much respect. Get going.

Go on!

Boys, will you let me also play?

Do you know how to play football, Father?

What a question!

Then you are in our team!

Goal!

What is it? - Go ahead! Play!

I love poker!

I've played it a lot at the seminary. - Why is he like this?

He seems troublesome.

Chetta... - Why is this priest interfering in the game?

Awesome!

Foul play! Foul play!

He was hiding these cards there.

It's okay. Let it go.

Father, which Church are you from?

I am a Capuchin! - Huh? Cappuccino?

Have you seen the movie 'Pranchiyettan'? - Yes.

From that. - So Mammootty's community!

Are you a Muslim then? - You idiot!

Saint Francis' community. Yeah!

Father has won!

Oh no! Father has won! - Chetta, don't cheat again, okay?

Hey! All of you should leave with lots of money in hand, after the game, okay?

This is the picture of the one who goes home without money.

Father, have you come here to drink,

or came here after getting drunk?

Father is quite something.

Get lost, you loser. Don't say blasphemy.

Father has come to buy some toddy sine the wine for the Qurbana got over.

Father, shall I get you some? Strong or light?

Which one do you want?

Oh my God!

Chetta, this is not toddy. This is adulterated liquid.

Father, don't talk nonsense.

Stop it, Chetta.

For the one who's used to having fresh toddy, directly from the coconut tree...

If it's good toddy, when he holds it close like this,

we can feel the sea rumbling in our hearts.

This is just...

Where is it, Chetta? - I don't know.

This is the real fresh toddy.

Try this!

This is superb!

Superb!

Have some, Father. It's really nice.

Aren't you ashamed to get drunk at the toddy shop and sing songs over there?

Aren't you a priest? - Hey!

Will you kill him?

I will kill him or eat him, or do whatever I want.

Who are you to question me?

You little tadpole! I'll teach you a lesson soon!

Get lost!

Pick them up, fast. - Oh no! Escape!

Bring the cycle, fast!

These naughty kids!

Shall we go there and see?

Go, Father. - Go fast, Abycha.

Oh Wow! Isn't this our priest?

What happened, Father?

What is this attire?

Where's the vestment I gave you?

Nice! You didn't find anything else or what?

Here you go.

You are too much, Father.

Get going then.

Take this, as well.

Give it to them also.

Take it.

Pick them up.

Fast.

Don't drop it, okay?

Looks like he has trespassed all the properties in Kalippakkara.

So the priest's full name is

Father Abin Trespasser, is it?

You've decided that you're not going to reform, huh?

Move away!

Abycha...

What? - Don't act too tough.

There's someone inside. Go fast.

You'll be in deep trouble.

Who is it? The Bishop?

Not the Bishop. Someone who's above all that.

Bro, Aju! It was you?

I thought some other big shots from the Bishop House came to check on me.

Don't call me bro.

I'm not the loser who used to wash toilets in the seminary long back.

Praise the Lord. I'm not that loser Father Aju now.

I'm the one who advises the Bishop who rules everyone including you. His secretary!

Father Aju, M.A., psychology.

What? You don't feel I look like a big shot from the Bishop House?

I'm asking you!

You won't feel so, because you don't have the brains for it.

You should have at least the common sense

to differentiate between dog shit and goat shit.

Well, both are shit anyway.

Bananas, cucumber and some stupid kids.

Is this the Church or the Kalippakkara market?

You should handle the people of the Parish, with some more standard.

It should be psychological.

The first Sunday Qurbana's speech after he joins a Parish, decides a priest's future.

Tomorrow is your first Qurbana on your first Sunday here.

If you go and stutter at the altar, people will bash you up.

Should I give a speech tomorrow, bro?

Don't call me bro!

Who is your bro?

Father Aju bro!

So I must give a speech tomorrow? - Yes.

You should deliver a thunderous speech for 15 minutes.

Bishop has sent me here to give you instructions about that.

Father Aju...

Aren't you the lion of the diocese?

Yes. - You can give the speech tomorrow.

Me? Here?

These stupid people don't deserve to hear Father Aju's speech.

That's why you are here.

You must give the speech here tomorrow.

I will make you do it.

Oh my God!

Mom, grandpa is coming.

Dad, looks like no one else got to drink anything at the shop today?

My dear Maria. - Yes?

I gave all of them as much as they wanted.

Amazing toddy!

But Maria.. - What is it, dad?

We'll get drunk even if you drink adulterated toddy or pure toddy.

Then what's wrong with this priest?

If you drink the pure one, you can drink it for a longer time.

So that's how it is?

Did you say that to make me drink longer?

Father Aby is really impressive.

My greetings to dear brothers and sisters of Christ...

My greetings to dear brothers and sisters of Christ...

From the streets of Jerusalem. - Wow!

If you sing a song also in between, it will be an awesome performance.

My dear Abycha...

I am saying this so that you'd live longer.

Throw that paper away,

and write a speech which people can understand.

If I tear this, will you write a different speech for me?

You spent 13 years in a seminary, right? Sad!

Give it to me.

What nonsense is this?

You donkey!

I have to give that speech tomorrow.

Go and sleep, Father.

You should have thought about this earlier.

Hey! I have give the speech tomorrow.

Just go to the altar and stand with your eyes closed tomorrow.

Jesus will take care of the rest.

Come fast. It's almost dawn.

Stop there.

I'm not stopping. I'm going to sleep.

I'll make you sleep!

Hearing this,

people will remember that it's Sunday and get out to buy meat.

Have they shifted their gambling to this place?

I know how to shuffle the cards.

We should learn some techniques from Father.

What? What happened?

We came for the Qurbana.

That's what I asked, Pappa. What happened to you guys?

We have a meeting with Father after the Qurbana.

So you're appointed in the Church committee now?

Not Church committee. Poker committee.

You know what all tricks he does with cards?

He's too good. Come, it's time.

Why are you stunned, on a Sunday?

You won't understand that.

For a long time now, there were only five of us here for the Qurbana.

Father, Son, the Holy Spirit and me,

and the stabbed priest.

He also should have been stabbed.

Where are you going, Marty Chetta? - A penance.

I made an offering that I'll bring all drunkards for the Sunday Qurbana.

Hey! If we don't come here, he'll come to my shop.

That will be trouble for me.

This priest is so weird.

Mathayi, stop gaping and ask Father Aby to start the Qurbana quickly.

I've asked Lawrence to handle the shop.

I have to go back soon.

Am I still in Kalippakkara?

Aby!

Learned all that I wrote for you?

You should look at the clock before the speech.

You should keep increasing and decreasing the pace of our speech,

according to the clock's needle.

You know, right? Exactly 15 minutes.

The Church is full of people.

Do a great job. - Nice.

Father is ready, all the people have come. And the sexton arrives only now?

My dear priests, all these people never came to Church,

even when Father Carlos went all around town with his sword.

Father Aju bro!

I'm asking you one last time.

Can you help me when it's time for the speech?

I've told you a thousand times not to call me 'bro'. Just go!

Bro!

Do you really know how to perform the Qurbana?

Leave me.

My dear Jesus!

'Rise within me like the full moon'

'O flame of love, O saviour of the world'

'Rise within me like the full moon'

'O flame of love, O saviour of the world'

'O Lord, take me along with your herd of sheep, to put an end to my tears'

We're playing a 10-over game in the evening.

Will you come early, Father?

Leave my robe!

'O Lord, take me along with your herd of sheep, to put an end to my tears'

'O Lord, take me along with your herd of sheep, to put an end to my tears'

'Rise within me like the full moon'

The Qurbana has started.

Come fast.

'O flame of love, O saviour of the world'

'Therefore I tell you,

do not worry about your life,

what you will eat or drink;

or about your body,

what you will wear.

Is not life more than food,

and the body more than clothes?

Look at the birds of the air;

they do not sow or reap

or store away in barns,

and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.'

What you heard now were God's words.

My dear people,

if you do wrong,

God will forgive you.

What the hell is he saying?

If you do wrong again,

God will forgive you again.

But what if we do wrong again,

without any conscience?

He will forgive again.

Will he?

Doing wrong...

and being forgiven.

Everything will be compromised.

Imagine...

... that you're doing wrong again...

what will God do?

Tell me.

Will God be angry?

Slowly,

think about it,

take your time and tell me.

Do you know?

What's the answer?

Mathayicha...

Will God curse us?

Who knows? - Tell me!

Come on, say it grandpa.

Calm down.

Tresya Chedathi...

What will He do?

Didn't you hear Father asking? Say it.

Yeah, right! I've never answered even my teachers in school.

Why would I answer a priest then?

What will He do, Minnukkutty?

I don't know.

Any idea? - Who knows?

Think about it.

Hey! What will God do actually? - Shut up, man!

Say it if you know it.

Do we come to the Church to answer questions?

What will He do?

Will he ruin this?

Father, what will God actually do?

What will He actually do?

Say something!

We're losing time. - I'm fed up of you, grandpa.

Don't open the shop today.

So no one knows it!

What is He going to do?

He will forgive again!

That's all.

That's all He knows!

Who opened this?

This...

Abycha.. we have a committee meeting today.

But...

should I come for that too?

My dear Abycha, if you have to meet the committee members,

you'll have to come for the meeting.

Whoever comes, they never step into the Church.

Including Estha...

...ki, whom you saw that day.

When did she come here?

Father, I am Daisy.

Esthaki Annan's daughter.

I came in to get acquainted with you.

Now we'll do that later.

You have a committee meeting, right?

Shall I leave then, Father?

Hey! Daisy! Well...

I haven't kept this picture on sale.

Please...

If I like it, I will take it with me.

Now that's some unnecessary trouble you're inviting.

Was this necessary?

Only priests past their expiry date should be sent to this Church.

It's time for the meeting. Come on! Come, Father.

Should I come? - Where did you run away, so quickly?

Sad!

You still have to grow a lot, mentally.

Father Secretary, can we make him grow mentally later on?

The Church committee is about to start.

Those guys come only for the meeting, without coming for the Qurbana.

These guys should be sorted first.

I'll come with you. Come on.

Father, I'll tell you something.

As far as the priests here are concerned,

each meeting is like the last supper.

Why? - I don't know.

Didn't understand?

After the meeting,

one guy will betray you.

Another one will reject you.

Then they will all start thulping you.

What? - They will kick you like crazy.

In your language, it's called Peedasana.

So don't try to sort them out,

it's good for you health to let them stay as they are.

Well, since we don't have anything much to sort out there,

I'm not needed there, right? You carry on.

Well, bro.. - Come, Father.

Bro, come with me. - You carry on, bro. - Meeting will start now.

God saved me!

I'll advice that kid.

He won't say anything back.

Come in, Father.

Praise be to Lord, Father. - Don't get up. Sit down.

Sit down, Father.

Sit.

Father Aby,

sign on two leaves of this chequebook.

We won't get time later.

The Church festival is coming, right?

We need to make some repairs.

Hey! You don't have to be scared.

This Church doesn't have so much money anyway.

How will it be there? You're stealing everything, right?

One more.

Don't worry about all that, Father.

The festival will happen smoothly.

You just have to conduct the Qurbana.

Father!

we should have a blast during the festival.

A procession with St. Antony's idol on the previous day of the festival,

sending all of Kalippakkara into a frenzy.

That will be awesome. - Father!

There might be some fighting and killing on that day.

Keep quiet.

You don't have to worry about all that, Father.

That's not the most important thing here.

It's our fireworks.

And, as long as this Esthaki is the custodian of the Church,

I won't bring that shame to the Church.

Our fireworks will be the best among,

all the Parishes in this Diocese.

Well, that...

You're yet to know the real Kalippakkara, Father.

Hey!

The Diocese has specially forbidden fireworks.

The Bishop won't allow it.

Father!

We're the Diocese in this Kalippakkara.

And he is the Bishop. - Stop it, Vareeth.

So let everything happen well.

I am leaving.

Come on.

I think the Father is a halfwit.

Minnu, dear....

Mom, Tresya Aunty is here.

I'm coming, dear.

It's been so long since you came here, Tresya Chedathi.

I went to the Church on Sunday after a really long time.

I heard Minnukkutty's song after so long!

I decided then that I had to give this rib cut curry to my dear child today.

Here you go!

It's so delicious!

Father!

You've begun your rounds in the morning itself?

What will I do sitting inside the Church itself?

What are you doing here, Tresya Chedathi?

There were no fights there today.

So I was able to make some curry for my child.

Come there, Father.

You can have rice with meat curry.

No wonder people fight for this!

That's not only because of the meat.

Tresya Chedathi's culinary skills are top notch!

Stop it! Culinary skills, it seems!

Be it the quality of the meat, or your culinary skills,

the curry is superb. Right, Minnu dear?

Hey!

My dear Minnukkutti? - Yes!

God has been pestering me ever since I landed here,

asking me if I have gone and met the angel of this village!

Is it enough if just He feels so?

I also have to feel that you're an angel, right?

When you sang that song in Church today, I saw...

an angel child who had descended from Heaven, standing in our Church.

You had huge wings here, when I saw you then.

You were looking so beautiful, Minnukkutty!

Then I decided,

that I must give a gift to our angel child.

Move away, Father.

Wow!

My Minnukkutty looks so beautiful!

Hey Varkey!

Your dog's ferocity is increasing.

He must have understood what's happening.

Did you hear his barks?

Tiger!

Is he dead or alive?

Who's the guy? - It was a minister's son.

We didn't know that when we took up the hit job.

It was a betrayal, Esthaki Anna.

We were trapped deliberately.

I think the boy will die.

He will die for sure.

Don't worry.

People have come to Kalippakkara after stabbing ministers.

So Minister's son is not such a big deal.

Get into the car.

You've come to the right person at the right place.

Now the police or army is going to catch you.

Come on!

Father!

Father, you should let them stay in the Clergy House for 3-4 days.

It's a stabbing case. I think the guy will die.

They will be safe here.

Oh no! Here? At the Clergy House? That won't be possible.

What's not possible?

Calm down.

If he hears it suddenly, Father would get scared, right?

Then do one thing. Give me the key of the Church.

No need of that. Let them stay here.

It's fine.

Here.

Here's your stipend for next month.

You will have expenses here from now on, right?

Until everything is settled, all of you should stay here.

No policeman is going to come to Kalippakkara.

Even if they dare to come,

not just the police,

even the army would learn a lesson from us.

Hey! Show them the rooms.

Come on, walk. - Go! Go!

Varkey is outside.

I made him stay away.

If you raise an objection,

he won't bother that you are a priest.

See you then!

There was a change in all this, when Father Carlos was here.

Now it's back to square one.

God knows what news we'll hear tomorrow morning.

Mathayicha...

Pray before going to bed, Father.

If there's any problem,

I'll inform the people by ringing the Church bell.

Mathayi has escaped.

I aimed at his hand, but ended up stabbing his neck.

The guy was trembling so much!

Hey! Clean those weapons!

Abycha, will we be in trouble?

Oh my God!

Bloody dog! Rascal!

Hey! Let's leave this place.

It won't be right if we stay here any longer.

Aren't you ashamed, Abycha? Why are you so scared?

Shut up. Let's just try to escape from here.

Won't we come back?

For what? For someone to stab us to death?

That's true. - Come fast.

Go back!

Go! Go!

Abychaa.. - What is it?

Will we buried in a grave or dumped in the lake?

That will happen only if our bodies are found, right?

This is Esthaki Annan's daughter.

She's divorced, man!

Daisy!

I'm not a great artist like you.

But once something enters my heart,

I'll capture it.

What? - The Father is so lucky!

Yeah, man!

What is it? Get lost! Get going!

Get going! - I am going.

I wish I was a priest.

At least something would have happened then.

'The fruit with the sweetness of Eden'

'I have a strong desire to taste it'

'In my candle-lights,

will you rise, as a flame?'

'You are the one who's filling my heart, deeply'

'Come, in the fingers which draw colours'

'Come as a message in the clouds'

'There are waves in my eyes. Do you know my dreams?'

'Do you know the complaints I express through my anklets?'

'The holy water blessed by you,

consists the joy of life'

'You will be mine, always and forever'

'Come, in the fingers which draw colours'

'Come as a message in the clouds'

'The fruit with the sweetness of Eden'

'I have a strong desire to taste it'

'In my candle-lights,

will you rise, as a flame?'

'You are the one who's filling my heart, deeply'

'Come, in the fingers which draw colours'

'Come as a message in the clouds'

In the murder attempt against the minister's son,

the police department is facing humiliation for not being able to catch the culprits.

The investigation team revealed the photos of the quotation gang,

during the allegations from the opposition.

Police have intensified the search for them.

Hello?

Is it the police station?

Hey Koshy! - What is it, sir?

Sir! - Get the jeep! - Where to?

Get the jeep!

[prayers being chanted]

Murder case culprits are being hidden at the Clergy House.

There will be bloodshed here today.

Oh my God! - Come on, Tresya!

Abycha!

Abycha!

What is it?

Keppa, what happened?

Stop trembling and tell me what it is.

Abycha!

Come here!

Come on, walk. Put them in the jeep!

Put them in!

At the Clergy House? - Don't mess with us, sir.

Are you this Keppa?

Smart boy!

Come on!

How dare you step into the Clergy House?

Georgy! Don't spare any of them!

Leave them!

Leave them, I say!

Hey! - Sir, come fast!

Move!

Move away!

Both the Father and kid betrayed me, huh?

Let me settle them first.

We'll ring your death bell aloud after that.

Right, Mathayi?

There's no point in locking the door, Father.

Either you have to escape,

or you should see to it that the cops don't enter the Church.

Or they won't spare us, Father.

Abycha!

Move away! - Ring the warning bell!

Hold him!

Don't leave him.

Don't ring the bell!

I am telling you! Don't do it.

Push them away!

Move away. - Georgy!

Anna! - Just listen to me!

Get them inside the Church.

If the cops enter the Church,

the people of Kalippakkara will be furious.

Take them inside!

Push them away!

George!

Come on! Take them fast.

Georgy, open the Church!

Open it quickly!

Go in!

Come on, bring them inside.

Cops shouldn't enter our Church.

If there's anyone brave enough in your group, come on inside!

Come on! - You better leave from here.

You won't go back alive.

Father, there's no time to think now.

If the cops take them, the locals would kill you.

Father, just do something.

Go there!

[indistinct shouting]

Move! Don't make noise.

Please! Please! Police should leave the Church.

Father, this is a murder case.

They have killed the minister's son. That too, a political murder.

You will also go to jail.

Whatever you say, you can't arrest them from inside the Church.

Please step out.

Sir, please listen to me.

The crowd is increasing, sir.

Let's go, sir.

Koshychaya! - We also have to stay alive, sir. Let's go, sir.

Come on! - Get lost. Get out of the Church!

Get out from the Church compound.

Don't you dare enter the Church dressed in Khaki.

Thommi, hit him!

Georgy, hit him back!

Thommi, kick him back!

Get up and come, you fool!

Georgy, please get up!

Hit them, Father.

What is this Georgy doing?

You guys are such idiots. Hit him back!

Thommi, come on!

Come on, get up!

Come on, walk. Put them in the jeep.

Father has won!

Varkey!

Don't try to compete with me!

You will lose!

Because you have a desire to stay alive.

I've forsaken that long ago.

Tiger!

Tiger!

Tiger!

When we're discussing important things, you're always spreading jam!

When someone gets stabbed somewhere, why are you ripping my bread apart?

If you touch my bread again...

Sit down.

Oh my God!

Eat it! Eat it!

Let's come to the point.

These are complaints from the Parish against Father Aby.

Bishop!

In my opinion,

one needs to be a goon to survive in Kalippakkara.

If that is his plan,

you will have to buy another wheel chair, Bishop.

Father Carlos, they don't have complaints if priests are beaten up.

That's the right of the Parish.

But if a priest hits someone from the Parish, there would be complaints galore.

We have to handle this very carefully.

Bishop!

If we think about it psychologically,

only one thing will happen.

They will kill Father Aby. That's for sure.

Sit here!

Hoorray Father Aby!

Hoorray Father Aby!

Hoorray Father Aby!

Hoorray Father Aby!

Hoorray Father Aby!

Hey! Hey! Stop it.

Stop it, kids!

Father, the Bishop is here.

Stop it, kids.

Keppa, the Bishop is here.

Bishop, you've only heard about recklessness, right?

Watch it now!

If he goes on like this, the Diocese will have to come and kill him.

Doing as you please?

Hey Keppa...

Bishop won't kill Father.

For that, we have our people here.

Yeah, right!

Bishop, we should handle this psychologically.

The people would react ferociously.

Bishop! My dear Bishop!

It was a brutal fight, Bishop!

So brutal. - This old hag!

He attacked them using weapons!

And look at him standing here now!

Bishop, look at my husband's condition!

Bishop, who would be answerable if my kids had lost their father?

He hit him so badly, Bishop!

They just look tough, Bishop.

They are good for nothing.

Shut up, you hag! - Get lost, you dog!

Please sit down.

Bishop, we haven't come to share our sorrows.

We need to know your decision.

There's nothing more to know.

Take him back with you.

Georgy, sit down.

Excuse me! I have something to say!

The fight!

That was superb!

When it's a fight, both sides would be hurt.

And, all this while, we were beating up priests.

Now let the priests start hitting us!

Sit down!

This is not the place for your drunk talks! Understood?

Okay, sir. - Sit down. - Silence!

Silence! Silence!

Bishop, you don't need any more information from us, right?

Didn't you see how the priest came to the Church now?

He has been causing trouble all over this Parish.

The priest who speaks at length about forgiveness,

at this holy altar,

has beaten up our people in front of the same altar.

Is this what the Holy Church is teaching?

You must answer this, Bishop.

That's all. - Esthaki Annan is right.

You can go only after answering, Bishop.

Bishop, it's wise to stay silent now.

Do you have anything to say, Father Aby?

Bishop...

If I have to forgive,

they have to hit me!

If anyone misbehaves inside the Church,

I will hit them.

I will hit them again!

Yeah! He is awesome. - Sit down.

Silence! Silence!

Didn't he say that he would hit us?

You don't need any more witnesses.

Anyway, since I have understood the situation,

I'll take a suitable decision and inform you.

Let's disperse for now.

Father, you should inform your decision before the festival.

Many gentlemen who go missing during the Kalippakkara festival,

are found from the lake, 3 days later.

Please tell the junior priest not to garner create a bad impression about our people.

And, how is Father Carlos doing now?

I couldn't come and see him, because I was busy.

Convey my regards to him when you get back at the Bishop House. Poor man!

You called for a meeting and sacrificed a priest. Now you're laughing?

At least tell me why you're laughing!

You claim to be a great psychologist, right? Didn't you understand anything?

They are scared!

Hey psychologist! When big goons are beaten up badly,

they have a way in which they complain.

That's what we call as 'threatening'.

That's what we heard now.

My dear Bishop,

they will kill our Father Aby.

Father Aby?

Hey! He has something which you don't have.

What's that?

In my opinion, we should have brought Father Aby back.

Hey! Stop the car. - Stop it, Chetta.

Get down.

What is it, Bishop?

Then, you go and bring him.

Go! - So that's what!

After that, you can rule this Parish.

What you said is right. They can't do anything to Father Aby.

Shall we go via Thekkekkadavu?

The main road will have a traffic block. That's why.

Chetta, come on. Let's go.

Abycha, enough with the cleaning. Come fast.

Or she'll dry it up in the stove.

Come on.

Abycha, from where did you learn to fight like this?

Get lost. Fighting?

It was like I got an electric shock.

I have no idea what happened.

Whatever it is, it was like Jesus' fight at the Jerusalem Church.

Superb! Amazing fireworks.

Where is this from?

Those are just small crackers at the next coast.

If you want to see actual fireworks, our Church festival should begin.

Don't brag so much, Mathayicha.

Here you go, Father.

Hey Keppa, what he said is true.

But when we realize that the crooked Esthaki swindles money from people for it,

we don't feel happy at all to see all this smoke and fire.

She can't see fireworks in the sky.

But she loves seeing people fighting for meat. - Get lost.

That is at least a righteous fight, Father.

But here, Esthaki claims that he's spending money out of his own pocket,

and bursts crackers worth 3 or 4 Lakhs.

And in that name, he collects 10 or 15 Lakhs from the people here.

After collecting all that money from the people,

and stealing money from this donation box,

he takes all the yield from the Church fields and farms, in that name.

That's true.

Our Church festival and the Church are just ways to make money for Esthaki Annan.

He's also part of all this.

He doesn't say a word, out of fear.

Abycha...

whatever said and done, you should be careful.

They are an evil bunch!

Mother Mary, protect me!

Where the hell are you looking, you dogs?

Where are you going with this naked vehicle at midnight?

Can't you see a man standing here?

They are coming again?

Where the hell are you looking? - Break his head!

Oh my God!

Hey! No one here has to excited about having him here.

He's a scapegoat who's going to be butchered during the next festival. Understood?

Oh my God! - Georgy, start the car!

Oh God!

Oh no!

Daisy?

Just don't keep watching and say whatever you want to say, Abycha.

Hey! Tell me!

I was thinking which artist created this beautiful picture.

Stop it, Abycha.

Then...

I've come now to make this artist draw this picture.

I like to draw you like this.

This is nice.

But I won't sit like this, spreading wings.

I am a woman with flesh and bones!

Make a stylish portrait of mine, my little lamb!

Only if you draw like this, I can enter your heart.

This was a dream of mine, little lamb!

If the angel flies away, this is all that remains.

It won't look any good.

A dark face with red eyes popping out!

Daisy!

Daisy!

Where are you going? - Ichaya...

Our daughter.. - Just go!

That Nazrayen's rules and.. - It will be great if he learns like this.

... spread like wildfire all over town.

That Nazrayen's...

Tresya, where are you all going?

For the rehearsal of the Bible drama for the festival.

What's the name of the drama?

'Pilatos hasn't slept after that'

What happened to him?

Whatever happens to him, the festival will be awesome this time.

I wonder if there would expressions on their faces.

This Father is the limit!

Chetta, it's been so long since I ordered a bottle of toddy.

Make it fast.

Father Aby has reached early.

I think Marty doesn't know about it.

Go and bring him quickly.

I'm asking this as someone who's close to the Church and Church matters.

Shall I act as Jesus?

Jesus will be awesome.

Are you thinking about it only now?

Father, we've caught him.

Leave me! Leave me! I don't know how to act!

Father, I don't know how to act. - Come here.

Put him here.

Tresya, I can't act. - Go! Go!

Ask them to let me go.

Shut up! We won't leave you unless you act in this role.

You better stay put, Mary.

Go to the Church. I'll come there.

Come fast, Father. - Just go, Martyetta.

Shall I go?

So we'll rock the festival, right?

Jesus and you are the same.

You give me false hopes.

Despite singing so many times at the Church, Jesus has never bothered about her.

That's her complaint.

I have no complaints!

I'm not coming to sing for the festival or the Qurbana hereafter.

Wait before you decide that, my angel.

And...

... for this festival...

we'll say this to Him at all costs.

If He still doesn't bother, I'll be upset with Him.

I won't draw any picture after that.

If I say that I won't draw, it would hurt Him deeply.

That's how we are.

No. Only Dad had spoken about taking me to the hospital.

Everyone else is fooling me.

Even you, Father Aby.

Don't worry, Father.

When her dad was alive, there was someone...

to take her to the hospital, and be part of her fun and frolic.

Now we're alone here, right?

She said it out of that grief.

Why isn't Jesus listening to your prayers?

I'm fed up of sitting like this, Abycha.

Only Dad had spoken about taking me to the hospital.

Everyone else is fooling me.

Now we're alone here, right?

She said it out of that grief.

Why did you have to come here in a hurry?

Won't a fox be able to save a little lamb, if he wishes to?

Even if a lion wishes that,

a fox won't wish for that, Father.

Father Aby?

Sit down, Father.

This is Father Aby.

Praise be to Lord, Father. - Now and always.

Get us something to drink.

Why have you come here, Father?

I came to talk about an urgent matter.

About Minnumol, who sings songs at our Church.

If everyone co-operates, we'll be able to get her treatment done.

If we postpone the festival fireworks this time,

we can provide a good treatment for Minnu with that money.

It will happen if you agree, Chetta.

Father...

If I ask you not to conduct the Qurbana for the festival,

will you listen to me?

Well, can I even ask it?

It's the same with the fireworks too.

Hey! You just have to bother about the Qurbana.

I'll handle everything else here.

Didn't you tell all this to him? - I did.

It's only because of Esthaki Annan's kind heart,

that the procession and fireworks happen here.

On top of that, we've planned a thunderbolt in between the fireworks this time.

I haven't come to argue.

This is my request.

Please do something for that girl.

They have no one else.

Father!

I haven't settled scores for what you did to my boys, yet.

Let me settle that first.

We can discuss new things after that.

Father Aby...

if you're planning to take responsibility of people who don't have anyone else,

I have a daughter.

She left her husband.

Do you want to consider?

And she's deeply in love with you!

It's very tasty, Aunty.

I'm leaving.

Come. - It's okay even if you are cursed,

you just want to drink the juice, huh?

Mathayi, I need your vehicle to load the fireworks for the festival.

Couldn't you slap him, Abycha?

Hey! Hey!

Don't expect jack fruits to kill rabbits every single time.

What's the way before us now?

There's no way forward.

But there are many ways upward!

We can think about it.

You are the limit, Abycha!

Where are you going? We're also coming.

Stop! - Father!

My dear people of Kalippakkara,

we welcome all of you to the 'Art Night'

On the day of the festival, Sunday 8 PM,

All our people should come... - All of you should come, okay?

The ladies are doing a great job with the announcement.

Begging to get beaten up by announcing through a mic.

Such a festival would be a first!

We welcome you all to the grand Church festival of Kalippakkara.

The Saint's holy idol would be passing through the surroundings of Kalippakkara,

at 5 PM on Saturday.

And grand fireworks at the Church grounds, on Sunday at 7 PM.

And the fireworks have been sponsored by...

our own, Valiyaveettil Esthaki.. Esthaki... Esthaki...

Fireworks that would even beat the Thrissur Pooram.

We welcome you all to our Art Night.

We welcome everyone to the Church ground.

Hey hag! Not art night. It's the fireworks night!

We'll ruin it with our fireworks.

Get lost!

Why does this Father have to compete with this brute?

Can't say! Father is quite a tough nut.

Didn't you see how he took that dog with him?

There's something special about him.

The festival is grand this time, right? - Of course.

If there are no decorations and fireworks, then no one would bother about Esthaki.

Yeah! Yeah. - I know that very well.

Don't get tired already.

The procession will start only by 6:30 PM.

Esthaki Anna, I can't find the Father and the boy at the Clergy House.

He locked the Church and went somewhere.

Is it? - Yes.

Stop it.

Stop it!

That bloody priest locked the Church and escaped.

Jesus!

Who will begin the Saint's procession, if the priest isn't here?

Don't wiggle! - Thommi, leave me.

I am coming, right?

He's trying to escape.

Put me down.

Father has escaped.

This sexton was also trying to escape.

We found him from behind the Church.

What do we do with him?

The procession won't happen without the Father and the Saint.

Where's the priest?

I don't know.

I tried calling everywhere I could.

He hasn't gone to any of those places.

He was sure that he'd be trouble if he stays for the festival.

So he escaped.

Call that bloody priest!

You...

It's the priest's phone.

He left it in the Clergy House.

I saved it so that it doesn't go missing.

Mathayi...

When people have gathered for the procession at the Church,

you're playing like a child here?

What are you doing, Father?

The Saint won't forgive you!

Come on!

Chedathi, I had asked the Saint yesterday,

whether I should stay for the procession or not.

And it was the Saint who told me,

'If you stay here, it will be trouble for me, as well'.

Go wherever you want, at the earliest.

Both you and the Saint are strange!

If the Saint doesn't want me, why should I stay there?

Well..

I'm roaming around after seeking the Saint's permission.

Why aren't you going for your own Church festival, Tresya Chedathi?

My own?

When I see these percussions and celebrations, my blood boils!

Son!

Do you people carry all this wherever you go?

This is a cursed land.

Even if you try to reform it, it won't.

When my husband was going to...

make our son work at the meat shop,

it was me who took him out and sent him to school.

Maybe because he got educated,

he wasn't very fond of my husband,

being close to Esthaki.

When he grew older, whenever Esthaki does something notorious,

he will object to it.

He left during such a procession one day.

After that, I saw my child...

3 days later, when he was found from the lake.

And that scoundrel...

framed my husband for that crime,

and the people here fell for his trap.

And he died of heartbreak.

And with that festival, I became all alone, Father.

I became all alone.

One day, I will stab this entire thing,

into his stomach!

Tresyammachi, we don't need all this.

I'm here for you, right?

What you lost through one door,

God will return it through another door.

Even if the priest isn't here, we'll hoist the flag and conduct the festival.

Will he conduct the Qurbana as well?

The festival is not just the Qurbana.

Let the priests do that if they want to.

Our Kalippakkara's festival means, the fireworks.

We'll do it, whatever may come.

We'll have a blast!

Stop it!

Only the priest will conduct the festival.

No one else has to conduct the festival here.

Oh no! He has taken the key out again!

This is how our festival will be, this year.

Look.

We've decorated the entire Church with pictures drawn by our own children.

Point out any picture here, and I will be able to say...

which child drew it.

Will you be able to find it?

Which picture your child has drawn? Go!

Come inside, Dad. - What? Why?

Grandpa!

I drew this. Our toddy shop.

Smart boy!

Look at this. My son drew this.

Leave me, boy.

My daughter is really talented.

This is our meat stand.

So many pictures, Paappan.

Father, this is awesome.

You've rocked the festival.

You've made it such a different festival.

So we'll bring some variety for the fireworks as well, okay?

It will all burn and blast in glory!

Come here.

What are you waiting for?

Shouldn't we set it on fire?

If you don't want crackers to land up on top of your house,

stop roaming around here and go to the town with your vehicle,

load it with our fireworks and come back fast.

Go fast.

Yes, Varkey Anna...

I've loaded everything you asked for, into the vehicle.

And one more thing.

This batch is a little dangerous.

It's a risky game.

If something happens, it would be a police case.

Don't worry about me.

You should be careful.

Okay.

Get going then.

Go carefully.

Okay.

You've made it all wet and ruined it.

Leave me, man!

If God has forbidden something, it won't happen.

Why are you shouting at me for that?

You bloody...

You bloody dog!

What's coming first is a dog.

But coming after him, is a tiger.

A striped tiger.

[dance performance in progress]

What a lousy programme! [starts booing and shouting]

Don't get beaten up by Father, Georgy.

[Booing continues]

'Why are you crying aloud, my dear?'

'I will come now, my darling'

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

[booing continues] - Tresya Chedathi, go!

The king has to say dialogues, right?

Come on. - Just go.

Say the dialogue.

It is spreading all over town like wildfire....

Hey Mathayi! - Give him some water, Father.

Hey Minnukkutty! It's you!

Oh my God! It's Minnukkutty!

Wow!

Lift her up!

That was awesome, Father.

Now we should go to a big hospital.

I told you, right?

If we tell Him that we'll be upset, He won't be able to bear it.

See!

This entire village is with you, Minnumol.

Now don't say that you're alone.

Shouldn't they ask us before shifting the donation box?

Can't let Father Aby stay there. - This can't be allowed, Bishop.

It was not right to do it without asking the Diocese.

No more discussions.

We take someone's name all day, right?

He is with him.

He will take care of him.

Dad! What's wrong with you?

Move!

I didn't hang it back for you to vent your anger again.

One photo and frame costs Rs. 1500.

You can't break it when you want to!

Dear, you have the same mind as I do.

If we wish for something, we will make it ours.

We must!

Are you so deeply in love with Father Aby?

There's something that fathers tell their sons.

I'll tell you that.

If you're so deeply in love with him,

go and bring him here.

I'll handle the rest, my dear.

Dear... What has to be taken with care, should be taken like that.

What has to be taken by force, should be taken only like that.

Your hide & seek game is the problem.

If you ask Varkey, he will chop him up and put an end to this, right?

This is not a case which has to be chopped up.

To malign a priest completely,

there's nothing beyond an involvement with a woman.

We just have to get it started.

Those who carried him on their shoulders, would dump him in the dustbin.

What did you think?

That Esathki's fireworks got drenched?

I had saved the biggest firecracker for him, separately.

What is this, Daisy?

Will anyone get drenched in this heavy rain like this?

What's wrong in getting drenched, Father?

What's wrong in getting drenched? Nothing's wrong!

Do you want to come with me? To get drenched together?

I'm scared to get drenched like this.

Long back, during a rainy day like this,

me and my Kunji stepped out to get drenched.

It was raining even more heavily then.

My parents had gone out.

Hearing my the sound of my dad's vehicle,

I ran back into the house.

I thought let her be scolded alone.

Suddenly there was thunder and lightning from the sky.

In that light, my Kunji was gone.

My Dad cried aloud holding her close to him.

That hasn't faded from my heart even now, Daisy.

When you come before me like this,

I am reminded of my Kunji.

She also had your name.

Daisy.

Daisy!

Dad! - What happened, dear?

I don't want Abychan, Dad.

Let him live peacefully somewhere.

If you don't want him, why do I care?

Let him go anywhere he wants to.

Stop crying and go home. Go.

Just forget him.

Go.

I'll come home soon.

When I saw her going in full vigour, I thought she's my blood.

This is her lousy old mother's blood!

If we spare that bloody priest anymore,

he will swallow this entire village.

Start the car!

Look! This child has managed to get much more money

than what the Saint could get in so long.

Now you should take care of the rest too!

Father Aby!

You've got lots of money now, huh?

This village was lacking only a Saint of our own.

You can make that also happen.

We need a Saint whom we can garland and pray to.

I can't stay idle in a glass frame.

I need some wind and light.

I need to make drawings and play ball with children...

I will die someday or the other for sure.

Before I die,

I thought I'll live an awesome life.

Mom!

Mom!

I just want to know this.

What wrong have I done to you, for you to kill me?

If this Esthaki has to kill someone,

I don't need any particular reason.

If I feel like killing, I will kill.

Abycha!

Hey! I will be at the Chapel junction.

I need to hear his cries over there.

We'll make sure of that, Anna.

Abycha!

It's not yet time for you to ring the warning bell.

Get down, you rascal.

Tiger!

Tiger!

Hey Tiger! Leave me!

What are you doing?

Leave me, tiger!

Messing with me, huh?

Abycha!

Mom!

Pappan, what are they doing?

Stop it!

Oh no!

Abycha!

Minnu!

- Dear! - Mom!

Don't do anything to Abychan. - Please!

Stop it, you dogs!

Don't get cursed by the God!

Don't hit the priest.

Abycha!

Abycha!

Mom! - Thommi, stop it.

Abycha!

Abycha!

Abycha!

Abycha!

Abycha!

I'll show you now. Move.

We can't leave them like this.

They stabbed Father Carlos.

Now, even our Father Aby.

It's time for us villagers to stand united.

Our village will prosper only then. - Catch them, sir.

We will show you how to take care of this village now.

Come on, walk. - He asked us to do it, sir.

Come on, walk. - Leave me, sir.

Go on! - Varkey, please adjust for the time being.

We'll think about the rest later.

Look, sir! If they can do this to me, who was looking after them,

think about other people?

Charge a case for murder attempt in his name, sir.

Come here, you...

Bloody Varkey.

What are you waiting for? Take Father Aby to the hospital immediately.

Come on, help him up. We need to take him to the hospital.

All of you come on. Lift him up.

Father...

If you start doing this,

these guys will never reform.

It's not possible to reform the entire village.

We should reform ourselves, when we get time.

Okay then.

Father, come to the Church quickly.

What is it?

Bishop was waiting for you, Father Aby.

When I said we'll go there, Bishop said he's coming here.

Tell him the matter, Esthaki.

A great miracle occurred in our village.

Moreover,

we have a priest who's a great Saint.

I've proposed an awesome idea to the Bishop.

Bishop also liked it.

Shall I say it, Bishop?

We should turn this Parish,

into a place of pilgrimage.

Devotees from all over the world,

should come flowing here.

Profit or loss is not important.

It's our Parish's honour.

What do you say, Father Aby?

Tell us your opinion, Father. That's most important.

To touch you and pray for you,

you're not a human being.

And if I leave you without touching,

you will never reform.

Bishop, shall I bless him?

The Saint's first blessing.

In the name of the Father...

Son...

and the Holy Spirit...

Amen!

Amen!

Oh my God!

Him and his bloody pilgrimage centre.

'No adulterated toddy here'
