This is Muthalakkotta.

A village in Palakkad with a rich history.

Beyond its beauty ideal for romance,

this village in Palakkad...

also bears the scorching summer heat of alternative politics.

Welcome to a new episode of 'Unseen sights'.

Four youngsters arrived in this village along with Yoga Guru Kumarji

for rescue missions during the last deluge.

Ayyappan from Tamil Nadu,

Roshan alias Roshi from North India,

Robin and Rocky, who are Malayalis.

Gradually, they became the protectors of this village.

They became the Muthalakkotta Battalion.

For the past fifteen years,

I have been the opposition leader of this Panchayat.

Comrade Pankajakshan.

All the barren lands of this village have been converted to organic farms.

Ever since this collective called Muthalakkotta Battalion came into being,

it was our Panchayat President who ended up in a soup.

Yes!

The construction of his new palatial bungalow had to be stopped midway.

What's the reason? What's the reason?

Say it, man!

Corruption came to a halt!

The 'Corruption King' Nara Pillai...

... had to go back to being just Nara Pillai.

Here he comes. Don't take the mic to him. He won't let it go!

Without any assistance from the opposition,

I have been trying to make this village prosperous and corruption-free.

And those youngsters are by my side in this battle.

So, I have no enmity towards the battalion.

-The agricultural officer is here. -Namaste.

Hey! The camera!

It was our mission to free our village and the neighbouring villages...

...from relying on vegetables coming from other states.

The joint endeavour by these four youngsters,

and their amazing leadership skills towards attaining that goal.

We must realize and appreciate all that.

Producers RD Illuminations, MPM Group

Director B. Unnikrishnan

The day when the local RDO visited the village...

...as part of the Government scheme...

...to acquire lands that have remained uncultivated for ages and make them arable.

This is the largest property in our list, Madam.

-Madam, this property... -This is the whole area.

It's around 18.5 acres.

It's all in Edathala Mathayi's name.

We had tried to start farming here, two years back.

-But it didn't happen. -It will happen this time, Madam.

Because.... our Government is in rule now!

Like hell it will happen!

Edathala Mathayi has gone to the capital city!

He will come back only after getting the order revised.

That's true, Madam.

He is highly influential.

Over here, sir.

We'll see.

We can meet Mr. Mathayi in person.

Sir, Mr. Mathayi is here.

Ah! Mr. Mathayi! Welcome, welcome!

-Please be seated. -Namaste.

I don't get to see you these days, Mr. Mathayi.

You can't see him? Do you have a cataract problem, Mr. Minister?

Huh?

I was just being figurative, Mr. Advocate!

But you are right, Mr. Minister.

You left after taking funds from me for the Parliament elections.

-I haven't seen you after that! -Yes!

Don't say that, Mr. Mathayi.

I am able to survive here only because of the prosperity of our village.

Well, this 18.5 acres of land is hardly one kilometer north of the highway.

I have been doing the rounds of many offices for years...

...to convert it into non-agricultural land.

And all these guys have taken millions as bribes from me...

...claiming to get it done immediately.

Well...

Boss has kept a record of all the bribes he has paid in his diary.

The first thing that the Income Tax Department,

CBI and ED guys take into custody,

are the diaries of such bosses!

These 18.5 acres of land are waterlogged, sir.

It's been 20 years since any farming happened there.

A medical college for the town's development.

It's a dream which Mathayi sir wants to fulfill before his death.

We don't have any plans to build a township there at all!

You bloody!

Now the Panchayat is creating trouble,

demanding me to cede the land for agriculture.

Mr. Mathayi, that's not the Panchayat.

-Then? -It's a new Government policy.

It will be difficult to change that.

If I cede the land for agriculture once,

I can never level that field in this lifetime.

Mr. Mathayi, land levelling is against our Government policy.

I cannot allow that under any circumstance.

If you need anything else,

don't hesitate to ask me.

I have to attend the Assembly.

I am leaving.

The Minister has dodged away.

I had told you that this will be futile.

Anymore requirements?

We need to smuggle some gold from abroad.

Can you do it?

As if he will fulfill our requirements!

You should have thought about this while funding for their victory!

Ungrateful fellows!

The general characteristic of this Minister's party is that...

...they need donations and partnerships with moneybags like you.

But their endeavours and policies are for the poor!

My dear Shashi, please stop it!

Tell me what I should do next!

I had already seen this coming.

There is one way.

-Sathyasheelan. -Sathyasheelan?

I don't know him personally.

But he's a relative of a distant relative of mine.

From what I've heard so far,

there ain't any problem for which Sathyasheelan does not have a solution.

Sathyasheelan will come,

meet you,

and solve this issue.

Things which even the Almighty cannot do....

This Sathyasheelan gets them done!

"To remove obstacles, the coconut should not be broken for Ganpati,

but on this Sathyasheelan's head", goes a saying.

There's no such saying!

No? But I have heard so.

But I can get rid of obstacles.

I'll get these 18.5 acres of land levelled and give it back to you!

We just have to get it levelled.

Once that's done, we have a whole division to create fake documents, right?

Shucks!

We do!

The guy who's coming to level the land,

will need a year's time.

You need to give him a house to stay.

And you need to pay the fee he asks for, too!

Also, a lease agreement... for three years.

Huh?

For three years?

What's that for?

He'll be levelling the farmland on the basis of that agreement.

No one should have any doubt.

The documents should be precise.

A lease agreement for three years is a must!

-Is that necessary? -Yes!

We can show that agreement to shut the Panchayat up.

We need to write the agreement on an old deed.

Yes.

Once the land is levelled,

my guy will return the land, with an exchange agreement.

You're just referring to him as your guy.

Who is this 'guy' of yours?

He is an Avatar!

Please come.

This is the house of the richest billionaire in this village.

Haven't you met Mr. Mathayi yet, Madam?

-No. -He is a very nice man.

He charges 8% interest.

This is Vettikkal Shashi.

Mathayi's legal advisor.

He just gives advice.

Mathayi has other lawyers to plead cases for him in court.

If you're done praising me, you may come in.

Please come.

Please come.

Please be seated, Madam. I will bring him.

These are Mathayi's home-bred goons.

Madam, this is Edathala Mathayi's elder son, Babymon.

This is his younger son, Babumon.

And these are the wives of these two sons.

Sushama and Julie, respectively.

That's RDO Madam.

This is Mathayi sir.

Namaste! Namaste!

Please have a seat.

Please take a seat, Pankajakshan.

Girls, serve the tea and snacks.

-Not now, thank you. --No,no. We'll bring it.

No, no. It's okay. I am fine.

We have come....

To request me to cede my 18.5 acres of land,

for the Government to start cultivation. Right?

Well, I don't have any issue.

It's for our village, right?

But what can I do?

I have already leased it out to someone else. That's why!

-Advocate! -Yes!

Madam, this is the copy of the agreement.

It was written six months back.

You can check the date.

You must be thinking that we forged it on the old deeds we had here.

It's truly original! Isn't it?

Don't spit on me!

Why does your lessee need this useless waterlogged land?

Why do we care? We just need the money!

It has been lying unused for the past 15 years.

Madam, if we try to do something beneficial for the village,

they will start raising objections immediately!

This is a crooked way to level the farmland, Madam.

The lessee might be a Benami.

How do you know?

Who told you?

Mathayi sir...

Our secrets are getting leaked.

Yes, they are!

We're aware of the township you're planning to start here.

I'm being very frank, Mr. Mathayi. That's not going to happen.

Look, Mr. Mathayi,

the law does not allow you to use the land for anything other than agriculture.

You should be saying that to the lessee, Madam.

Why does he need this land?

I mean... what is his plan?

You can discuss that with him, Madam.

He is a big shot!

Who is he?

I mean... What is he?

Madam, these are his numbers.

These are all his addresses.

-You can get in touch with him! -No. Thank you very much.

If he cedes the land to the Panchayat,

we don't have any objections.

So... he won't cede the land.

Right?

He's a colossal fraud!

Crafty to the core!

He can turn the super rich into a pauper, just like that!

But you can trust him!

You can trust him blindly!

Neyyattinkara Gopan!

Madam!

He's from the South.

One who buries his opponents!

His entry will be a sight to behold, Mr. Mathayi.

[MUTHALAKOTTA VILLAGE PANCHAYAT OFFICE] -Hey Advocate!

He said he'll be here at 10 AM sharp. It's 10:40 now.

Madam does not have the habit of waiting for late-comers.

She will be here any moment.

She will be irritated if she finds out that he hasn't reached.

Hey Neyyattinkara Gopan! Please answer the call!

Hey Advocate!

You've been dialling for long!

Could you reach him?

He's singing 'Devasabhathalam'.

Not answering!

He won't answer!

Because...

there's no such person called Neyyattinkara Gopan.

This is just an imaginary creation.

Oh no! Madam is here.

-Good morning, Madam. -Good morning, Rukmini.

Hi.

-Namaste. -Namaste.

Why is everyone waiting here?

Well... that Neyyattinkara Gopan hasn't reached yet, Madam.

I have another meeting at 12 o'clock.

I have to leave by 11:30.

Please wait inside, Madam. We'll wait for some more time.

Take Madam inside.

Please come, Madam.

Aha!

Mr. Mathayi was right.

Neyyattinkara Gopan is a big shot indeed.

He has a police escort!

I won't ask you to stop being foolish. You can't!

-Err... I.. -No! Zip it!

Who is Ganabhushanam Neyyattinkara Gopan?

He has a degree in music?

He might be Ganabhushanam or Padma Bhushan. That's irrelevant here.

Has he arrived or not? That's the matter!

Nope!

What's the problem, sir?

The Muthalakkotta Battalion was here?

I need to arrest this Neyyattinkara Gopan immediately.

Hey Advocate!

The lessee arranged by the Edathala group and you,

seems to be a crook!

Before he got here, the warrant has arrived.

Wow! He is on his way!

I also got a message.

-Hey! I got it too! -Me too!

I am coming!

Sorry! Sorry!

I have arrived, my dear people. Namaste!

I know that I am a little late.

Not so little. 50 minutes!

RDO Madam has been waiting for so long!

-Rambo! -Boss!

Mr. Nara Pillai!

President!

Mrs. Soudamini's....

How is Mrs. Soudamini's back ache?

Wow!

President's wife's back ache is famous in Neyyattinkara too?

Let me know if the lousy local physicians are no good.

There's a powerful clairvoyant in Kattakkada.

He brings chopped roots, plucked leaves, hand-picked flowers,

and vegetables sourced from random places.

All this should be ground to make an extract.

Add it with jaggery to 200 ml of rum,

and chug it down. It's a perfect panacea.

Your wife's hip will be back to super smooth condition!

Why, dear? Do you need the panacea?

-Hello! Hello! -Huh?

Can't you see me standing here like a pole for so long?

Is this how you stand like a pole, sir?

-Isn't it? -Isn't it?

Hey Neyyattinkara Gopan!

Ganabhushanam Neyyattinkara Gopan.

That's irrelevant here.

It is relevant, sir.

That alone has relevance here.

Music!

Music!

An ocean that seems more vast, the closer you get...

... or something like that.

Since I don't say it often, I've forgotten it.

-Tell me the matter, sir. -I have to take you into custody now.

Oh! The Kalayikkavila slash case?

No!

-The Thambanoor stabbing case? -No!

Vizhinjam murder case?

-It's none of them. -I quit then. You should say it, sir.

-You don't know? -No!

You don't know the reason why you were late to reach here?

Please come.

If you want to bribe me, don't do it here.

It's not that. Please come.

Please forgive me this one time.

I just happened to react.

Is this how you react?

Listen to me, sir.

Tell me whether what I did was right or wrong, after that.

Okay. Tell me.

What are you wearing?

Come on a video call then, darling!

-Okay.

Hi sir! How are you? All well?

This Vishwambharan sir will get your husband out of trouble.

Oh! Thank you, sir.

Lower your camera!

Let me see you fully!

-So you know the drill, huh? -Sir!

-Tell me! When are we going to...? -Sir!

I am in a hurry.

I need to be at Muthalakkotta Panchayat office at 10 AM.

Please check these documents and let me go quickly.

It's all clear.

I'll decide whether it is clear.

Step aside!

He should be the last to leave!

Sheesh! You stopped my car first!

And you will be the last to leave!

Move away!

I'll call you later.

Lost the mood for it.

Move away, you bloody....

Losers!

-Not even one girl has come here so far. -Sir, I...

Move away!

Come.

Ah! Here comes a girl!

Sir, she has only a Learner's license.

Learner's license?

The vehicle is nice!

Learner's license, huh?

Yes, sir.

You still have a lot to learn, huh?

There are too many extra fittings.

One skirting.

You'll have to remove the skirt!

Sorry sir?

Do you have the documents?

Yes, sir.

Show it to me!

-Hey! Not on your phone! -Then?

Vishwambharan sir needs to see everything in its original form.

-That's why! -Sir!

We can present the documents digitally now, right?

How can this girl remove the skirting from that car if it does not exist?

If there's anything illegal, charge her with a fine and let her go, sir.

That's basic decency.

-Is she your sister, you son of a.... -Oh no!

Sir! Please don't use cuss words!

I can touch your feet if you want me to, sir.

No, boss! Please don't touch his feet for this!

Rambo, I will do it!

You shouldn't, Boss!

I will do it!

Let him do it, man!

It's his wish, right?

Come on! Do it!

This Gopan will call you 'Sir' first!

After that I'll call you something else.

You know what that's for, right?

Hey public servant!

You should behave decently to the public, especially to women.

Or you'll be in a pickle,

if the public like me attack you!

-Got it? -Yes!

-Rambo! -Boss!

-Start the car, please. -Okay, Boss!

Sister, get back home quickly!

-Sir, I.. -Hush!

-What I did... -[gibberish]

Water, please!

I don't blame you for what you did, Neyyattinkara Gopan.

But... taking the law into your hands is like...

I haven't taken the law into my hands, sir.

Then?

I just swept it off its feet and smashed it to the ground!

Oh! That's right.

But... will you please get into the jeep now?

What if I don't?

Come again?

What if I don't?

Don't humiliate me.

All these people have great respect for me.

Doesn't look like that.

I swear!

Please believe me.

What if the complainant complains that he has no complaint?

I didn't get you.

This complainant...

Look here, sir.

Oh! Alambulance!

Ambulance?

Boss! An ambulance has arrived.

I have no idea what's happening.

You also don't know?

-John Wick! -John Wick?

He has a stammering problem.

Oh no!

This is Vishwambharan, sir.

Vishwambharan! What happened to you?

I slipped and fell on my face.

Vishwambharan, do you have any complaints?

I have no complaints at all, sir.

Hey! Take Sir to the hospital quickly!

If he dies, I'll go to jail. Close it!

Shall we go?

G...G... Go!

So what's the plan? Aren't you leaving, Shivashankaran sir?

So what's the plan?

Aren't you coming with me?

Should I come?

So you're not coming?

Can you please avoid taking me with you?

You can't, right?

I'll touch your feet then.

Oh no!

What is this?

Let's leave quickly!

Mr. Gopan!

If your show is over, let's get to the topic.

Don't say anything.

I know what the topic is.

Please don't ruin my livelihood, Madam!

My job is farming.

Please allow me to make a living doing that job.

If you're planning to cultivate paddy on the fields,

you'll have our cooperation.

But if you have any other intentions,

the field that you have leased, will be acquired by the Panchayat.

The Panchayat will start farming there.

The 18.5 acres of land which I have leased, is a low lying land.

Paddy farming has not happened at that waterlogged farm for ages.

In the present situation,

there's a possibility of cultivating Pokkali rice there.

It grows even in waterlogged fields.

Rukmini Madam knows that, right?

Yes.

But for the amount I paid the Edathala group as per the agreement,

Pokkali rice farming won't be profitable.

We should do farming according to the situation.

You can get a good yield and become successful only then.

-Right, Rukmini Madam? -Yes.

The glow on her face shows that she knows everything!

She's the Agricultural Development Officer.

She knows everything!

Rukmini!

So, my dear Panchayat members,

I have changed tracks.

I am going to do pisciculture here.

Fish farming?

There's no law that permits fish farming at fields meant for paddy farming, Mr. Gopan!

There's a rumour that you leased that field to level it.

Rumour? Do you even know its meaning, Nara Pillai sir?

-Is it a cuss word? -No!

I'm not going to level the land.

I'm going to dig the land.

The land cannot be levelled. That's the law.

But it's not said that I can't dig it. So that's not a law.

I will dig it.

-You'll dig it? -I mean...

We will pave a small canal and let water into the farm.

In that clear water, we will raise awesome little fish, giving them nutritious food.

Swimming in that fresh water,

will be little fish, who have dignity, nobility, good health and cuteness!

Those little fish are on their way from Visakhapatnam, Madam!

Should our villagers eat only vegetarian food?

Snake-head, Asian sea bass,

Pearl spots, local prawns, crabs, ribbon fish and what not!

Such fresh fish!

You know what we do with them in the South?

We'll cook them with drumsticks.

At Kottayam, they cook it with Malabar Tamarind.

At Thrisshur, it's cooked with raw mango.

And at the North, the tamarind is squeezed,

on to some hot rice, and it's mixed thoroughly, again and again.

It's so delicious!

Omana Chechi's snake-head fish curry!

Tresya Chechi's pearl spot curry.

Aamina Thatha's prawn roast.

All these will be from my farm now.

It's all free for you, Arya Madam.

Why? Don't you want it for free?

Just cut the nonsense!

None of this is going to happen here.

I want to see how you'll do fish farming here.

Oh no! Please, please!

Please, Madam. Don't be furious.

Bureaucratic dominance!

We don't need that here!

You don't have to teach me the law or professional ethics.

I'll do what I'm supposed to do.

Then I will do what I don't want to do!

Oops! Madam became upset and left!

My dear people,

we will be meeting again!

So... I'll be around!

Okay? Okay?

What is this?

O Goddess of Attukal!

Picketing my way on the first day itself?

What? What's the matter?

Giving me angry looks?

What is it, dude?

Am I standing here naked?

You haven't come here to do fish farming.

You were brought here by the Edathala group.

To level the 18.5 acres of farmlands.

Wow!

So you've discovered the secret! Intelligent guys!

You can keep your Ganabushanam, all this build-up and threats back there,

in Neyyattinkara!

This is Muthalakkotta.

Don't try it here.

We will decide what should happen, and what should not happen,

in this village.

Not even a leaf will fall here, without our permission.

Really?

Do you fall after asking their permission?

Wow! Look!

One has fallen without your permission.

Hey! Look!

Listen, boys!

Those who come on bikes and stop my way...

Even if I forgive them, this '2255' won't.

In such situations, it won't stop with a brake. It will send you flying.

It stopped now, only because I made a very strong request.

So, don't repeat such foolish acts,

go home!

We told you what we had to say.

There won't be anymore talking.

Don't talk!

Because I won't have the patience to listen!

Don't forget.

My car number is...

22...55

This car...

and the one who travels in this car, which happens to be me,

are quite dangerous!

Buddy!

Beware!

I am extremely dangerous!

My dear Shashi, it's Devarajan's music!

From the movie 'Chattakkari', featuring the actress Lakshmi.

-Look at me. -Okay.

You can't level the land, but dig it. Is there such a law?

Where did you get your law degree from?

Err.. I don't remember.

There are some silent pauses in the law.

It doesn't state that you can do this or you can't do that.

We should barge in through a gap and get it done!

So, if we dig it?

How will we level the land after that?

My dear Vettikkal Shashi!

The sand from the canals will be stacked on the shore.

So, the shore will rise in a jiffy.

That's all!

How will you level the canals then?

You must answer my intelligent questions!

It was your intelligence or foolishness that brought me here.

So I'll tell you.

The hill-side near that field,

is the land you have usurped and using as your own, right?

Yes.

If we just ruffle that slope using a land mover,

sand will flow into the canals, during the next rains.

The canals will be filled on its own.

Awesome idea! Where did you get these brains from?

From my father!

-Your... -You don't have to say it.

I know the next dialogue.

"Your dad is not my dad!" Right?

You're here?

I liked your idea and plan of action.

Start the work immediately, without any further delay.

Swapna!

Check all the accounts.

-Okay. -Okay.

That Neyyattinkara Gopan fellow has landed.

-He seems to be fine. -Checked everything?

All okay, right?

-Counted all of it? -Yes, we've counted all these.

-Keep those boxes inside. -Okay, Madam.

What are these boxes?

Those are not ordinary boxes. They are cash boxes. Daily collection of chit funds.

They will be taken inside, counted,

locked in underground vaults,

and Mr. Mathayi will sleep only after putting that key in his underwear's pocket.

Mr. Mathayi is awesome that way!

Who's that dream girl?

That's the new auditor.

She's great in looks and in her work too!

Will you introduce me to her?

Is that necessary?

If some audit work comes up, I can give it to her, right?

Hey!

What is your moniker, Madam?

What?

Your name?

-Swapna. -Huh?

Swapna!

♪ Are you the Swapna Sundari (dream girl)? ♪

I am Ganabhushanam Neyyattinkara Gopan.

And I am single.

But Swapna Madam is double.

Her husband is in Delhi, and he's a boxing champion.

Does he box hard?

Yes!

But I like local fights.

Go inside, dear.

He's the kind who ploughs flourishing farms into puddles. Get going!

-Whose flourishing farm? -Let that be.

Hey Neyyattinkara Gopan!

Yes, sir?

Your arrival has shaken the town!

And its people!

They are all blown away!

All of them are a little terrified.

Great!

I like you!

My boss is famous for his hospitality towards people he likes.

Do you drink?

Not regularly. In a week, maybe...

-Three days? -No. Seven days!

Oh! Once in a while!

But I will drink only after sunset.

And I eat only the food that I cook myself.

And I have a bad habit. When I drink, I need to sing!

Understood!

The song ♪ Harimuraliravam ♪, right?

That's quite long, right?

-We don't need that here. -Aww!

After taking a dip in the pond behind Kalappuraykkal House,

which you have arranged for my stay,

there will be a concert by Neyyattinkara Gopan.

Well...

How did you know that there is a pond behind Kalappuraykkal house?

The Lord who rules this Universe, Pappanabhan... Sorry...

If you pray to Lord Sri Padmanabha with all your heart,

are there any ponds in this world that won't appear, sir?

There's something mysterious about him.

Let there be some mystery, Shashi.

-Rambo! -Boss!

-Start the car! -Okay boss!

[Kalappuraykkal]

Ah! Unni! Have you come?

Actress Kaviyoor Ponnamma's voice?

Must be my imagination.

Rambo!

Okay! Forget it!

I'll go my way!

Kumaretta!

Who's that?

-My dear Kumaretta! -Huh?

Calling me by a different name?

Rambo!

Looks like I am haunted by some ghosts, dude.

I need to take a bath!

Come to the pond!

Why are you staring at the pond, dear thugs?

Not r...r... rising up!

Not rising up?

-Who? -Boss has gone in for a dip.

He has always been like this.

Once he enters the water, he will rise up only after a build-up!

That's his style.

This build-up is quite over the top!

It's been a while.

Is he dead or what?

Let me call the fire force.

What is it, Advocate? Are you following me?

Have you come to watch me bathing?

I wanted to present something to you.

You can present that at the verandah of the house.

Boss!

You may speak now.

Once I begin the concert,

I won't have time to listen.

From your appearance and demeanour,

you have all the attributes of a feudal landlord who loves music.

So, there will be several assault cases in your name daily, right?

Is that wrong?

Who doesn't do wrong, my dear Gopu?

You should make me your official Advocate.

I can plead very well.

You will plead.

But you won't win the case.

I have an Advocate who wins cases, in Delhi.

He's at the Centre, right?

I'll handle everything here.

No, thank you.

Shall I ask you something?

Have you actually come here to level the land?

When will you ever learn, Advocate?

I don't know.

It's beginning tomorrow!

Neyyattinkara Gopan's....

'Extravaganza'!

Six feet width.

Six feet depth.

And a gap of six feet.

Use the sand you dig up, to fill these gaps and raise their levels.

-Understood? -Yes, sir.

-Got it? -Yes, sir.

Boss! Damodaran, who stays nearby, is not allowing us to bring the land mover.

He says that the path is through his property.

The astrologer had predicted that there will be several obstacles.

We don't need the land mover now. Let's make do with man power.

-You do the rest, Rambo. -Okay boss.

You can call the others and start the work. Get going!

I think he's planning to dig up the land like he told us, President.

He will face the music then!

♪ Make way! Make way! ♪

♪ Rukmini's vehicle is coming! ♪

♪ Come and greet her! ♪

♪ Come and push the vehicle! ♪

Hey! All of you, stop it!

-No one should work on this field. -Drop your tools, all of you!

Move away!

What's the problem?

I'll tell you what the problem is.

Hey! You cannot level this field,

dig it,

or turn it into a pond!

We won't allow that!

Is it?

How's that fair?

To dig the land that I have leased,

to rear my little fish,

he won't give permission, huh?

Won't you allow it, President?

Err... No!

How is this fair? What kind of justice is this?

Hey! What we say is the law, in this land.

None of them will work for you.

Individuals becoming the law. Is that right?

I thought the money I spend here, can be an income for the local people here.

-You won't allow that too? -We won't.

-Rambo! -Boss!

They have arrived!

Guests are Gods!

Honest, efficient labourers.

From the land of Bengal.

Land of Bengal?

-Where's that? -Bengal!

Hey brothers!

Come on, start the work!

-Hey! No! -Stop!

-No one should work here! -No!

Don't stop them.

They are our guests. You cannot stop our guests.

We haven't allowed any Bengali to work at this Muthalakkotta till date.

-Come on! -No, no!

Don't call them Bengalis.

The Government has named them 'Migrant workers'.

Or 'Workers from other states'.

Don't insult our guests. They should be welcomed with respect.

Hey! You can go and do your work.

Hey! No one should move an inch!

Get lost!

Brother! Brother! Please get up!

Oh no!

Hey! Please don't hit my migrant workers.

Please!

Please!

-I can touch your feet if you want me to. -Go ahead.

Please!

Oh no!

From the land where the red flag used to fly high,

they have come to the land where the red flag is still flying high,

to earn their daily bread!

If you touch them,

I will kill you!

Aiyappan!

Come on!

Stop it!

-The cops are here. -I saw that.

Let me speak, please.

Rocky, move it.

Aiyyappa, put it down.

How come you arrived before the finishing point, sir?

-It's really urgent. -Hush!

You urchins!

I'm telling this to all of you!

Within this Ganabhushanam Neyyattinkara Gopan,

there's the emperor of music, Thyagaraja Swamikal,

and the stunt master Thyagarajan, as well.

If the first person comes out, I will sing!

And if the second one comes out, I'll be on a rampage!

So don't mess with me.

If you do,

an extra ward will have to be built at the General Hospital. I swear!

Bloody urchins!

I will bear the expense for that.

Bloody wastrels!

Sir.. What is it, sir?

I came because...

you have to come with me urgently.

I have been ordered to present you before the RDO.

-So, should I come? -So, you won't come?

In front of that witch?

In front of that bureaucratic dominator?

-Yes. -I will come.

-RDO is quite furious. -Sir, this lady?

She's not RDO, but RDX!

Isn't that a medicine? Sorry. It's a vehicle, right?

She is not a human.

I have utmost respect for RDOs.

But she's not a human. She's a monster! A monster!

I want to see how she'll stop my fish farming!

A river of blood shall flow here.

You'll have to cross that river to go back, Shivashankar sir.

-Oh no! I can't swim! -You can't?

-No! -Arrange a boat then!

Oh God! I am done for!

I'll lose my job if I stand with Neyyattinkara.

If I don't, he'll topple me over and smash me!

If you're done with your monologue, you can come!

It's done!

Hey! Where are you going?

Madam is busy. Wait here.

Wait here? No way!

Go and tell her that Neyyattinkara Gopan has been brought here,

restrained in shackles.

Go and tell her that he's a fuming volcano!

-Who is that man? -I am that man!

He's the man!

-Phew! -What's your problem?

Neyyattinkara Gopan! Show some patience!

Patience is as effective as mutton soup.

Then pour some 3-4 litres into that monster's throat!

She is a vegetarian.

-Madam is calling you. -Okay.

By the way, don't get shocked seeing what's going to happen inside.

Don't be terrified.

Calm down, Neyyattinkara Gopan!

Pardon me, Your Majesty!

You should forgive me, Madam.

I am a man of virtue.

I've taken a loan with a hefty interest to lease that field.

If the fish farming doesn't happen, I'll commit suicide!

Another name will be added to the list of farmer suicides in India.

Neyyattinkara Gopan!

I'll write your name in my suicide note, Madam. Wait & watch!

-I'll write your name too, sir. -Why should you write my name?

-Madam's name will be enough, right? -No.

You can write my name.

But... you should commit suicide.

Your fish farming is not going to happen here.

Here you go.

The Collector's stop-memo.

Two criminal cases will also follow.

One, for trying to dig a pond in an agricultural land.

Two, for beating up the townspeople.

My little fish!

They are on the way from Visakhapatnam.

What will they do without a farm to swim in, Madam?

I won't be able to bear their grief.

I... I will do this my way!

I won't accept this! I won't accept this!

If you're planning to get some order from the top,

using your money and influence,

that's not going to happen.

In this matter, neither the Government nor the Court will help you.

Madam, please show some mercy to me.

-No! -Madam!

Madam, I am not your brother, not your neighbour...

not your husband, and your lover?

Not at all!

Why do you have this enmity towards me then?

I was also wondering the same!

I can give you a bribe.

What the hell!

Just clear out!

-Officer! -Madam!

-Take him away! -Neyyattinkara...

'Get out'?

Bureaucratic dominance!

Nauseating megalomania!

-Shashi Tharoor? -No!

-Renji Panicker! -Yes!

Awesome!

-Officer! -Madam!

Shall we leave then, Neyyattinkara Gopan?

-Madam.. -Just clear out, I say!

Oh!

Ganabhushanam Neyyattinkara Gopan...

... has learned music.

-I have taught music! -Yes.

-I haven't learned a lesson. -Yes.

But I know how to teach a lesson!

I know how to level a field too!

I will teach you a lesson!

And I will level the field!

-Come! -What?

-Let's go! -Yes, of course.

Madam, I... err...

The RDO on one side and the Muthalakkotta Battalion on the other side.

A war is inevitable, Shivashankaran sir.

You are highly influential at the top, right?

Not just at the top. I am influential at the bottom too. Why?

Please get me transferred to some Godforsaken place.

I want to live peacefully.

So you're not interested in seeing the war that's going to happen here?

Just shoot a video and send it to me on WhatsApp.

I will watch it sitting somewhere else.

-Neyyattinkara Gopan! Neyyattinkara Gopan! -What?

If I tell you something, will you do it?

If it's foolishness, I can't.

This is not foolish. It's a fantastic idea.

The Muthalakkotta Battalion has a mentor here.

-You know who he is? -No.

The one who took these four wastrels under his wings,

and brought them here for rescue missions during the last deluge, Kumarji.

-Kumarji? -Kumarji!

A true Gandhian and a Yoga practitioner.

All these villagers will bow like this before Kumarji when they see him.

You should impress this Kumarji and gain his trust.

Everything will be solved after that.

This RDO will listen to Kumarji.

It's a fatherly relation.

That agricultural officer, Rukmini? Catch hold of her...

...to get an entry into Kumarji's Ashram.

Kumarji?

So peaceful!

-So much tranquility. -What?

I mean, the mind feels really peaceful.

This Ashram was built by us villagers,

since Kumarji and this Battalion have done so much for this village.

-Really? -Yes.

O Lord! His legs are where his head is supposed to be.

Look at his posture!

Seems like he was born out of the union of Bheeshma and Dronacharya.

Huh?

-Rising? -Huh?

Or not rising?

-What? -Or am I imagining that he's rising?

He's a sage with miraculous powers.

Huh?

He's a sage with miraculous powers.

Miracle, indeed! Even Houdini would fail.

Huh?

Even Houdini would fail in front of him.

He has woken up.

Swamy!

O' Swamy!

Welcome.

Swamy!

Please sit down.

Should we be seated on this floor?

Yes.

I am Neyyattinkara Gopan, Neyyattinkara P.O., Neyyattinkara.

This is an offering for you, monk!

I heard that you drink only goat's milk...

...from this devotee of yours.

So I've brought two bottles.

Ganabhushanam Neyyattinkara Gopan.

What do you want?

I have come to introduce myself to you, sage.

Sage?

I have a long way to go, to become a sage!

Really?

There are many obstacles for your fish farming, right?

He's a great seer, indeed. He knows everything!

There are hundreds of stories floating around about the new guest in town.

O, dear monk!

I didn't come here to start an argument or a fight, dear monk.

I came here to make a living.

Your troop of demons... Oops!

Sorry. Your troop of disciples saw me as their enemy and attacked me.

And that monster... Oops!

Sorry.. That RDO lady...

She is hell bent, O monk!

I know that you have a father-daughter relationship with her.

Please save me, monk.

Let me earn my daily bread somehow, sir.

None of them will cause obstacles if you are on the right path.

If your intention is good, everyone will be with you.

This is a village of ordinary people.

No one has any enmity towards anyone here.

You should understand that.

Well, I have also made mistakes.

Please forgive me.

I can...

touch your feet, monk.

-No. -No?

Why?

To topple me?

I've heard a lot about your 'touching the feet' technique.

It is said that Lord Sri Padmanabha is always in a lying position,

fearing that people like you would topple him.

What is this, sage?

You reached this village with the help of Edathala group.

Edathala financiers is a company that has usurped the properties and money...

...of the poor people of this village.

They are exploiters.

The documents of many villagers' houses are still in their lockers.

Don't try to act mighty with their patronage.

Yes, dear monk.

I'll follow all the conditions mentioned in their agreement.

You can leave in peace, Gopan.

Rukmini, show him out.

Yes, monk!

Bye.

Well, Neyyattinkara Gopan...

-Shall I ask you something? -Yes.

What item are you?

Item?

Yes! Namboothiri or Varma?

Or you might even be a Menon, right?

Or... if not any of those,

"I am the king of this palace"

Will you say so?

Well, a caste-name always accompanies such superheroes as a surname, right?

That's why I asked so.

Well, I chopped off my caste-surname.

As a part of being politically correct.

Gopan!

There's a Shiva temple on your way back.

Go there and pray with all your heart.

-All your problems will be solved. -Yes, Monk!

I will pray with all my heart!

[Singing the title song of 'Shankarabharanam']

-Who is he, children? -No idea.

Here's the sacrament.

Shucks!

It rains whenever I sing this song.

I am at fault. I should have brought an umbrella.

I forgot to bring an umbrella.

Huh?

If you sing from the heart, music can bring rains!

The music of Mahadevan!

And who sang it? SPB!

SP Balasubramaniam Garu.

From 'Shankarabharanam'.

I've heard a lot about that.

It's a miracle.

When you stopped singing, the rain also stopped.

It's always like that. When I stop singing, it stops raining.

I forgot to ask something. How is your father?

Do you know my father?

He's still the same.

And his condition is getting worse by the day.

-Shall we leave, Priest? -Okay.

Father is alone at home.

Okay.

I've heard that there wasn't a single film song in the 70's,

for which Balettan hadn't played the Tabla.

He was a very talented artist.

God will save him.

Balettan? Tabalist?

Yes!

Well, I didn't recognize you.

Is this your first time here?

Have you heard of Neyyattinkara?

-No. -I have come from there.

What's your plan of action in this village?

Any offering to make?

I'm someone who conducts shelved temple festivals...

...that haven't been conducted for ages.

My name is Ganabhushanam Neyyattinkara Gopan.

Is there any such problem here?

Has the neighbouring village taken your temple's sacred jewels and never returned it?

And do we have to take it back by force? Anything like that?

Hey! What are you saying?

All of the Lord's sacred jewels are right here.

Safe and secure!

Where is this Balettan's house?

It's towards the South.

There are several turns and curves on the way.

Why? Do you know Balettan?

Balettan is going to be known!

Balettan is going to be known!

[singing an old Malayalam song]

Sister!

Where's the crowd headed?

Has Balettan departed?

No! No!

Edathala group is here to seize the property.

Seizing the property? Edathala group?

Balettan!

♪ Baletta Baletta ♪

Did you see this? This is no ordinary paper.

It's a court order!

I need to settle this today, once and for all.

When we lent money to them,

we had written this house and property in our name.

-That's my brilliance! -Hello!

You needn't be so brilliant to do that.

It's a shady act that every loan shark does!

So be it.

Legally, this property belongs to Edathala financiers now.

They owe us three times the price of this property,

as principal and interest.

We've been asking them to vacate the house for the past two years.

-They aren't listening. -Hey!

A seizure is never a transparent procedure.

Exactly!

Ask them to vacate the house transparently, then.

We need some more time.

We've sent petitions to the Chief Minister and the Welfare Fund to help us.

Advocate, we'll settle this matter.

Let the boys from the battalion get here.

Move aside!

I'll explain everything to them.

They are wise people. They will stand with us, right?

We won't!

Please move!

What is this?

What's happening here, Advocate Vettikkal Shashi?

How can you be so cruel to these hapless girls...

who are already fighting with their misery in this house?

Oh no!

Isn't this the man who we saw at the temple the other day?

Pappanabhan won't forgive you!

Which Pappanabhan?

Which Pappanabhan?

The richest God in the world!

THE Lord Ananthapadmanabhan!

Kizhakkekkotta P.O., Thiruvananthapuram - 1.

See, Mr. Neyyattinkara,

you shouldn't be intervening in this case.

We never wished to gather a crowd here or to insult them.

That's why Edathala Babumon invited these girls to his office.

He had called them at least a hundred times, in the past six months.

They didn't come.

Oh!

So, all this is part of a revenge plan,

because these maidens refused...

to go to Edathala brothers' office, for a secret encounter.

-Am I right? -Yes.

Listen to this, people.

Pay attention!

These girls didn't submit to Babu sir's evil intentions.

And this seizure is a repercussion of that.

Advocate, this section is different!

Neyyattinkara, don't talk unnecessarily!

When they ask for unnecessary things as necessary and fail,

you may feel that the necessary things are unnecessary!

Quite natural!

But... don't think that...

...there's no one to stand up for this Tabalist Balettan.

This Neyyattinkara... Ganabhushanam... Gopan will be there!

Mr. Ganabhushanam!

Didn't you come here to do fish farming?

And not to interrupt seizure procedures, right?

Tabalist Balettan is a great artist.

If he's getting stranded on the streets with his daughters,

a music practitioner like me cannot be a silent witness to it!

I can't even imagine!

If Dasettan comes to know about this... Oh no!

-Who's that? -Yesudas! Yesudas!

Dasetta, I hope you don't know about this! Please!

-Hey, please come with me, Ganabhushanam! -No!

-Please come! -Okay.

Where are you taking me?

Come on!

Hey! This is also one of Edathala group's deals.

You should support us. Don't intervene and ruin this!

Aha!

He's trying to fix a deal with me!

Edathala Mathayi doesn't have the stamp papers that can purchase me!

To do that, Edathala Mathayi will have to be born again.

Hey!

You bloody lecher! You were here, you bloody pervert?

No!

If I have leased a farm from your father Edathala Mathayi,

I have paid him hard cash for it!

Just because of that agreement,

don't expect this Gopan to support you in all your atrocities.

-Who needs your support anyway? -No!

Edathala Babu can leave.

Balettan and his daughters won't vacate the house.

We'll repay the money as installments.

You needn't do anything in installments!

Well, these girls didn't come to meet us.

Did they come and meet you personally?

Did they sleep with you?

Please move away.

Very good!

What a fall!

You're lucky that Neyyattinkara didn't touch your feet!

Get lost!

Balettan's daughters are my sisters!

-Balettan is my Guru! -Guru?

My hypothetical Guru!

Our relationship is like Dronacharya and Ekalavya.

Yet, Balettan let me go, without asking me to cut my thumb.

See! I have all five fingers!

All of them!

Bloody rotten pig!

Come on!

Stop! Stop!

Move away!

Stop, I say!

Your thuggery won't work here.

See! We are all united! See!

Neyyattinkara Gopan is not an individual.

He is an establishment!

What? Giving me scary looks, are you?

Babumon, listen to me. Come on!

-Take what you got and go home. -Shut up!

-Listen to me. -Let go of me!

Come on, go home.

Please move.

To stand guard for Balettan's house,

I'll be here, from now on.

Come in, children.

What's your relation to our father?

It's a long story.

A story which this Neyyattinkara Ganabhushanam Gopan hasn't told anyone.

With a desire to sing songs,

I landed up in Chennai, at a lion's den.

Devarajan Master!

On Devarajan Master's left hand side...

Yes! left hand side, indeed.

There was our Tabalist Balettan.

On his right, there was RK Shekharettan.

With the mightiness of a lion in his voice, Devarajan Master told me,

"Gopan, my dear,

sing a song in Amrithavarshini Raga'

I sang it, forgetting everything else.

Once I finished singing,

he stood up...

and held me close.

And then he whispered into my ears,

"You bloody rascal!

Get out!"

"I shouldn't see you in this area, ever again!"

That was the end of my musical career!

Isn't this...

Balettan!

But...?

From there, he held my hand and took me to Kodambakkam Chandra Bhavan,

and bought Idly and Sambar for me, until my tummy was full,

and told me, "Invest money in real estate, kiddo!"

It was this Balettan who said that.

My dear Baletta!

I won't forget anything!

The taste and aroma of that Sambar...

and each red chilli that was in it...

I will never forget it, Baletta!

I will never forget anything!

Where is Balettan?

I want to see him!

He is on his bed.

He hasn't woken up yet? It's noon already!

He is bedridden!

Oh no!

Baletta!

My dear Baletta!

-Wonder where is he! -Hey! Go inside.

My dear Baletta!

Baletta!

Baletta!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Happy Birthday Baletta!

Huh?

Not today. It was two days back.

Oh no! I couldn't come then, Baletta!

Did you see the glow in his eyes?

Memories! So many memories!

But this condition of yours breaks my heart!

Lie down! Lie down! Lie down!

How long has it been since he got bedridden?

It's been around seven to eight years.

Treatment?

There's nothing left to try.

Curing Balettan from his paralysis,

might be possible through music.

Hail Lord Shiva!

Music that can wake up even paralyzed people.

Shall I prepare a musical stage for Balettan?

-Go ahead. -Yes.

'Chandralekha' or 'Sargam' (movies)?

-Which one do you want me to perform? -'Sargam' is fine.

Object to it. We need 'Chandralekha'.

-'Chandralekha' is better. -No, let's go with 'Sargam'.

Let's go with 'Chandralekha'.

Yes, that's what I said. 'Chandralekha' is better.

It is Lal's film.

-Mohanlal's! -Really?

[famous song from the Mohanlal movie 'Chandralekha']

-Dad! -Dad!

-Dad! -Dad!

No!

Dad!

Come on, Baletta!

You can do it!

Come on!

Try!

Try!

Come on, man!

-Oh no! -A great fall again!

Dad! Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Carnatic or Hindustani music won't work here.

Next time, let's sing a Rajasthani song for Balettan.

-Rajasthani? -Please move.

Please move.

Rambo, start the car!

Ichaya! Ichaya! Don't go!

-Ichaya, please don't go. -Hey! Listen to me!

-Don't be hasty. -Move away!

Shut up! I'll kill you!

Babymon, please consider this at least as my dying statement.

No one has dared to touch Edathala Mathayi's sons till date!

That dog who came to level the field...

-Bury him in the same field! -Yes, Dad!

Babymon, listen to me!

We don't need a murder now.

If I appear for a murder case, you'll definitely be hanged!

Move away, Advocate!

Let me speak, please!

This is a trick!

Neyyattinkara Gopan's knockout move!

To level the field, he needs the support of the Battalion and the villagers.

So he has made us his enemies, deliberately!

An enemy of an enemy is a friend!

Understood?

Please hold your horses until he levels the field.

Slapping my son's face is his knockout move?

So what if Babumon was slapped? We'll get 18.5 acres of land levelled!

Don't listen to him, Dad!

As you said, if this is his trick, I will forgive him.

But...

before he leaves this land,

I will finish him!

That's my promise!

Trying to finish him is fine,

but be mindful of your legs and face.

Neyyattinkara has a soft spot for both!

This Balettan....

Who do you think he is?

Who is he?

You should ask this to Devarajan Master, RK Shekhar Master or Arjunan Master.

Or you should ask Johnson Master or Raveendran Master!

Well, none of them are alive, right?

So... how will you ask them?

Why do you ask that question then?

But you're the one who asked that question!

I ask certain irrelevant questions to myself sometimes.

I answer them as well.

Balettan has a history, which none of you are aware of.

-The first Malayalam movie Dileep did... -Shucks!

Don't drag Dileep into this unnecessarily, Gopan. I'm a Dileep fan!

This Dileep is not that Dileep!

This is Dileep alias A.R.Rahman!

Oh!

-He has composed music for a Malayalam movie in the name, Dileep.

This Balettan has played the Tabla for that film.

Haven't you heard the song 'Padakali' from Yoddha?

[Everyone sings along]

It's an awesome song!

We should inform A.R.Rahman about Balettan's present condition.

He might be able to help Balettan's family.

An A.R.Rahman show...

... in Muthalakkotta!

Oh wow!

Is that really possible?

Do you know A.R.Rahman personally, Gopettan?

You silly girl, Rukku!

What did you ask me?

Whether I... I know A.R.Rahman personally, huh?

One minute! Wait and watch!

-Rambo! -Boss!

A.R.Rahman!

A.R. Rahman!

-Hello! -Hello!

-Venkitesh? -Yes. Tell me, sir!

-All well? -Yes, sir.

This is Neyyattinkara Gopan speaking.

I know, sir. Tell me.

Is Rahman in Chennai?

No, sir. He is in London now... on roaming!

Oh! He's in London? On roaming?

Yes, sir. Tell me, sir.

-Can you ask him to call me back? -Definitely, sir.

-Ask him to call at night. -Okay, sir.

-Is everything else okay, boy? -Yes, sir!

Thank you, sir. Okay, sir.

Okay, okay!

Rahman is in London.

Wow!

Did you hear that?

Neyyattinkara Gopan is someone who knows A.R.Rahman personally!

My dear Rukku,

at one point of time, we were 'One bed, one pot'.

What do you mean?

I mean, we used to sleep on one bed, and eat from one plate.

That's how close we are.

Is that so?

Monk!

O' great monk!

If this programme happens,

Balettan's family will not be the only beneficiaries.

The dream projects of Muthalakkotta Battalion...

... can be implemented.

A hundred houses for Life Mission too.

Oh wow! My dear Neyyattinkara Gopan!

Then, this programme should happen. We should make it happen!

We can get all the poor girls of this village married.

This Rahman show.. Won't it be really expensive?

We can make some corporate groups sponsor this show.

And we can record this show...

and sell it to some TV channel for 4 or 5 Crores.

That's a good idea.

But where will we conduct this show?

We have the Panchayat auditorium.

Yeah, right! The 250-seater Panchayat auditorium?

-For an A.R.Rahman show? -Isn't that enough?

-My dear President.. -Yes!

There will be one Lakh people, at the very minimum.

Oh my God!

A huge stage and a spacious parking area. We need all that.

For that....

Does this village have any spacious ground?

We have the school ground.

-Right, President? -Yes.

That will be around 1 acre.

My dear President!

We need at least 10-15 acres of land, minimum.

Oh no!

Shall I suggest a solution?

-What about the field you have leased? -Oh no!

Oh no! That's not possible. My little fish!

They are on the way from Visakhapatnam. Please!

Paddy farming hasn't happened there for ages.

That's why the Government decided to take up that land for agriculture.

The Edathala group leased it out to you,

thinking that they'd lose that land.

That turned out to be good anyway.

We can level that field,

and conduct the show there.

That's a great idea.

But my little fish from Visakhapatnam...

Don't raise any objections.

This is a necessity of this village.

If all of you are compelling me...

The ruling party, the opposition, the battalion and the villagers...

will work together and make this A.R. Rahman show a grand success!

-Exactly! -But there's a problem.

If we need to make a road from the highway,

we need that goon Damodaran's permission.

We can build a road to the Edathala group's field,

only if Damodaran cedes his land.

The man who created an issue when I brought the land mover...

Is he Damodarji?

Yes.

This Damodaran is quite a dangerous fellow.

He's an accused in two murder cases.

He was released from jail only last month.

But... all of us can try talking to him.

We'll try!

Let's offer him a price he cannot refuse.

If he doesn't agree?

If he doesn't agree,

I'll touch his feet.

There's no point saying all this to me.

He's the decision maker.

Why don't you try convincing him?

He won't listen to me, President.

What's happening? Is it possible?

It's not possible, Neyyattinkara Gopan.

We tried our best.

Did you talk to Damodarji?

-You come here. -Me?

Yes. Come!

Come!

So you are Gopan Neyyattinkara?

No. I am Neyyattinkara Gopan, Ganabhushanam.

-Both are the same, right? -They are not the same.

The joy of being called 'Neyyattinkara Gopan'...

Can't get that when I am called 'Gopan Neyyattinkara'.

I don't need that joy.

You don't?

I counted bars at Poojappura central jail for ten years.

Are there enough bars there to count for ten years?

I have three daughters.

I have to get all of them married.

Can you do it?

All three of them...

and me alone?

Along with the mass wedding you're going to conduct,

you should get my girls married too.

If you do that,

you can bring down that wall.

This is such a silly matter!

You have my word!

You are our darling, Damodarji!

[kisses] Come on!

Hail Damodarji!

Hail Damodarji!

Hats off to you!

Rahman show! Levelling the land!

You're much faster than we expected you to be!

Congratulations!

As you have levelled the land,

the contract between us has ended.

Here you go!

What's this for?

A new agreement that states that the existing agreement stands cancelled.

A feast from us is pending.

We'll send you off from here, only after that.

For the time being,

I'm not planning to vacate.

As the land has been levelled,

your role has ended.

My role?

That never ends!

It has just begun!

Well, what's your intention?

Rahman show!

And the huge amount he's going to swindle in the name of the show!

Not just that, Advocate.

Many more intentions and goals will follow.

You're messing with the Edathala family!

We'll chop your head off!

This is not just an ordinary head!

This is the head of the 'Head'!

If you have a wish to chop this,

come here only after sending someone to summon the Parish Vicar...

to conduct your father's funeral services.

Got it, Babymon?

This is Edathala Mathayi's land!

The land that has been drenched with the blood of people,

who dared to speak up against Mathayi.

You won't leave this land.

You won't see Neyyattinkara ever again!

Neyyattinkara Gopan!

Really?

As soon as I set foot here,

this place became Neyyattinkara, sir.

This is Gopan's land hereafter.

And hereafter, my games will be here, on this land!

Enquire about us among the villagers.

Learn about us!

You can challenge us after that!

I have learned very well...

...about all the people your father has betrayed, hoodwinked, killed and banished.

But your father and you should study further...

...about this Neyyattinkara Ganabhushanam Gopan.

The third paper in BA History at Kerala University,

is about me now.

As soon as you start studying its first chapter,

your filament will blow up! Got it?

Bloody Babumon!

We'll see how you're going to conduct that show!

My show began long back, boss!

If you try to pull the curtain in between,

I'll hang you on that rope!

I won't give a warning in vain.

But if I give one,

it means that I am damn serious!

I am extremely dangerous!

Try bringing that land mover into my property if you dare!

Damodaran is not afraid to go back to jail again!

What is he saying?

Damodaran!

Didn't you agree to demolish the wall?

When?

I had told him then, "Don't even try coming here".

To that Neyyattinkara Gopan!

No one has to make a road through my property!

No, no! You don't remember correctly, Damodarji!

You had given us permission!

All of us levelled this land only after that. Right?

Yes!

If this programme happens here,

it will benefit your daughters as well, Damodarji.

Huh? What?

-Damodaran, no! -Move away!

I don't need any favour from you,

to get my daughters married.

I'll do it in all grandeur!

And this wall...

You won't touch it!

If you change your stand at the last moment,

everything will go awry, Damodarji.

Please help me.

Please help these villagers.

Don't fall for temptations, Damodarji.

Don't trust the Edathala group.

If it is money that you want,

I can pay you double the amount they paid you.

Please don't obstruct us.

Damodarji, this is a necessity of this village!

You should be standing with me like a brother, Damodarji.

-Damodarji! -Get lost!

Bloody Neyyattinkara dog!

Damodarji...

I can touch your feet in front of all these people, if you want me to.

Please!

Please, Damodarji!

Please!

Please!

I set foot on this village,

with certain goals.

To knock down beasts like you who stand against my goal...

I have taken permission even from the Politburo!

If someone stands in my way,

I will kill him!

Take that wall down!

Come on! Take it down!

Come on, knock it down!

-Come on, demolish the wall. -Bring it forward!

Come on!

Oh no!

Sir, please don't kill him.

Let him go, at least for the sake of these three girls.

Sister, I'm not such a merciless person.

But Damodarji...

...deserved a pounding!

Hey! Please don't cry!

Girls, you needn't worry, okay?

For everything you need,

you'll have full support from this Gopan.

Did you tell these legislators that you don't want to get married?

Instead, you want to complete your education,

and stand on your own feet?

This is an appreciation!

Marriage shouldn't be the one and only goal for women.

You need to be self-sufficient.

That's politically correct!

For everything you need, you'll have this brother Gopan.

You have this Panchayat.

You have this battalion.

Now carry your dad inside and massage him with some oil.

-Get up. -Help him up, dear.

Gopan!

Yes!

RDO Madam, SP and CO are here, looking for you.

What's the matter?

I think it's a big issue.

What's with this bureaucratic dominance?

-Shall I call them here? -Sheesh! Don't bring them here.

Let's go there. Come on!

Sir, shall I?

The SP has come in person...

...to take you into custody.

Come.

Mr. Neyyattinkara Gopan,

as per the District Magistrate's order,

we are taking you into custody.

But.. what's the matter?

One!

The crime of levelling the farmland, in the name of a Rahman show.

Two,

for cheating the people in the name of a show that's not going to happen.

-A show that's not going to happen? -A show that's not going to happen?

-Didn't I ask the same thing? -Didn't I ask the same thing?

Yes.

Mr. A.R. Rahman is not aware of such a show so far.

I have the mail from his office on my phone.

Madam!

Either, you're framing a case upon a personal grudge,

or you are framing me in this case for Edathala group.

Your allegations don't deserve an answer.

Personal grudge, it seems!

Between me and you?

Lady, what's between you and me?

It was a question asked by Jesus Christ.

What's between us?

It's true that Madam can't even stand the name Neyyattinkara Gopan.

But she has a point now.

You should understand that, Neyyattinkara Gopan.

Take him!

All of you, please disperse.

Madam!

You should understand something.

A.R. Rahman does not know any one of you.

But this Ganabhushanam Neyyattinkara Gopan...

knows A.R. Rahman!

And just like that, A.R. Rahman...

is known to this Gopan!

Huh?

Didn't he just say the same thing twice?

If I have made a promise to you villagers

that I will conduct the show,

it will happen!

I will make it happen!

A.R. Rahman will come!

He will sing 'Muqabla'.

I will dance and the people will celebrate!

That will be the climax!

A turbulent interlude before the next set of fireworks!

Hello!

Shivashankaran sir,

it's been 3-4 hours since you made me sit here.

My dear Neyyattinkara Gopan,

heated discussions are going on inside.

We've been getting calls for you, from the State Capital to the Central Government!

Were you so influential?

Sir, SP sir is calling you.

Let me go there.

Yes, sir.

Okay, sir. Okay.

This has become really complicated now.

The pressure is too much!

Who is this Neyyattinkara Gopan?

Sir, he's quite notorious.

Isn't it better to reach a compromise and send him back for now?

No, sir. We can't do that, sir.

He has committed many a gray offense.

Levelling the farmland. Isn't that a crime?

Issuing tickets for a show that's not going to happen.

Isn't that cheating, sir?

If we release him now,

it will be a message.

It will set a precedent.

The real estate mafia which wants to level farmlands,

will become active again.

So sir, we cannot let go of this.

Well, what problem do you have in taking action against him, sir?

There is a problem, Madam.

I can't explain precisely.

But... DG is really definite.

We must release him.

May I come in?

Yes, come in.

Do I have permission to speak?

What do you want to say?

Shall I speak?

Sir, this levelled farmland is not my own land.

I was not the one who levelled the farmland.

The farmland was levelled by the local Panchayat.

By the people here.

If you're charging a case,

you'll have to charge a case against the entire population of Muthalakkotta.

His hands will grow tired of writing charge-sheets.

Oh no!

Sir...

I am a lessee and I am facing a loss, sir.

My aquaculture plans have gone awry.

My little fish children have been orphaned.

I can't bear to see their tears, sir.

And... about the show.

It will happen, sir.

In the name of this show,

I haven't collected money from anywhere...

I haven't sold any tickets either.

I haven't cheated anyone.

My little fish!

Oh no!

Sir....

Now, if you tell me the section under which...

...you have held an innocent person like me under custody,

I will summon my Advocate.

He's from Delhi. Nandagopal Marar.

Even if he is weighed against the machine that prints notes in the Reserve Bank,

the pan that Marar sits on, will remain tilted downwards.

-Right? -Yes.

That's correct. It will be tilted way downwards.

Mr. Gopan...

You may wait outside, please.

See, let's talk to the DG.

Even the Home Secretary has asked me to call him.

What is he?

I mean... how is he so influential?

Look!

We should take action against someone, only after studying everything in detail.

You should be discussing this with the Panchayat.

See, Mr. Gopan...

You may go, for now.

We'll call you again. You will have to come.

Sir!

This is something us cops always say when we're embarrassed.

"We'll call you again! You will have to come!"

Nonsense!

Be happy that you're safe, for the time being.

Things may not be so smooth hereafter.

The mask that you wear...

I will tear it apart!

The action seems okay.

Why don't you alter the dialogue a bit? It's too dramatic!

-I felt so too, Madam. -No!

Who cares!

You can't hoodwink everyone, all the time!

The sand that you dug up...

Be prepared to shovel it back in.

Really?

I don't how to use a shovel.

I need to learn it.

I'll shovel it for you once I learn it.

It's your wish, right? I'll shovel in plenty!

[sings a mocking song]

Arrogant female!

She's a little too scornful!

You are right, Neyyattinkara.

A bureau... buro...

Whatever!

There's someone behind her!

Really? I didn't notice.

There are some people behind her!

We can find that!

There's a Pushparaj within me!

Who is Pushparaj?

Detective Pushparaj!

Wow!

Madam, have you heard of 'Dharavi'?

This Neyyattinkara Gopan is a hoodlum who evacuated that Dharavi within one night.

What rubbish!

Have you seen Dharavi?

It's so vast an area!

No one has evacuated that place within one night.

No one can do that either.

No, Madam. He has evacuated that place.

But no one knows about it.

Even the people of Dharavi don't know about it.

That's Neyyattinkara Gopan!

Neyyattinkara Gopan is a fake name, Madam.

He's from the underworld.

He is an underworld don.

'Baasha', 'Billa', 'Kaala'.

Underworld dons are generally known...

...in such two syllable scientific names.

I found out that,

Neyyattinkara Gopan's scientific name is...

'Gopa'.

Look, Madam!

I made an illustration expert draw this portrait,

by giving him precise descriptions.

Gopa!

Why do you have to give him descriptions?

Isn't he in front of us, alive and kicking?

Madam,

even if the accused is alive, and in front of us,

giving descriptions and getting a portrait drawn,

is part of police investigation procedure.

The anonymous detective behind him, who made these crucial discoveries.

No one should know that it's me.

You shouldn't tell anyone, Madam.

Tons of gold that are smuggled into the airports of Kerala....

He's the one who handles it, Madam!

He has another specialty.

He does every nasty thing possible.

He kills people at the drop of a hat.

He kidnaps them!

But he won't do narcotic business alone.

'Narcotics is a dirty business'

Saying that, he stays away from it.

He's an idealistic man!

I don't know anything further about Gopa, Madam.

I am investigating.

I think the Masala Dosa you ordered has arrived.

Why are you so late?

Gopa!

Yes!

I've come to meet Madam.

Did you hear what we spoke about?

No!

We didn't speak anything. That's why you didn't hear it.

Are you leaving?

I'm in a hurry.

Why are you closing this door then?

It's good to have some privacy.

Go ahead!

I don't know what all false stories he told you about me, Madam.

You may choose to believe them... or not.

But... a greater idiot than this Shivashankaran...

...can be found only in dreams!

Underworld don GOPA.

Nice design.

What brings you here?

Aren't you a public servant, who's supposed to serve people like us?

So we can come and meet you anytime and convey our grievances,

even at midnight!

So you should listen to what I'm going to say.

Oh my God!

Can I sit on this?

I have a soft spot for hanging sofas.

I need to sit on it, whenever I see one.

To make me vacate the land I have leased based on the agreement,

Edathala group has filed a case against me in court.

To handle this case in a stronger way, my advocate and I...

studied further in detail about this land that I have leased.

The farmland and the Kalappura House, does not belong to Edathala group.

All the documents in their possession, are fake.

The true owner of those properties is a man called Sreedharan Master.

A poor school teacher who borrowed money from Edathala Mathayi,

to conduct his only daughter's wedding.

He had mortgaged the title deeds of his assets to borrow the money.

Mathayi usurped them.

Sreedharan Master's daughter and husband are no more.

His daughter had a child. Subhadra.

Since they are scared of Edathala Mathayi and his sons,

Master and his granddaughter are living in another village now.

I will bring them.

I'll add them as witnesses in this case.

If you order for an enquiry upon humanitarian grounds,

all the documents and title deeds will become theirs again.

Shall I leave, Madam?

Also...

if I ask you something, please don't say that you won't give it.

Shall I take this picture?

I'll frame it and hang it in front of my house.

I am Neyyattinkara Gopan.

I am Sreedharan.

I know! Sreedharan Master!

-This... -I know, I know.

Your granddaughter, Subhadra.

Don't be surprised.

This is your house indeed.

And you should be staying here, from now on.

Someone who's here to stay in this house for a few days.

You can see me like that, Master.

No one will come here and hurt you.

Until all this becomes yours legally,

I will be here, to stand guard for you.

Like a son!

My ancestral house, which I thought I had lost forever.

This is a gift from Lord Krishna during this Vishu season.

Come, dear.

Well,

who told you all this about me?

Someone who got her education and earned a job due to your benevolence,

is in this village.

She's the agricultural officer here now.

Master...

O' Lord Krishna!

God bless you, child!

Come, Master.

Come.

Let's go inside, Master.

-What do you do now, Subhadra? -I'm doing my B.Ed.

Hey!

-Day after tomorrow is Vishu day. -Yes.

I won't be in this village, for the next Vishu.

So, let's celebrate!

Call Balettan's daughters, as well.

Is this Kalappuraykkal Sreedharan Master...

... the true owner of the 18.5 acres of farmland and the Kalappuraykkal House?

Well, this happened before I became your legal advisor, right?

That's why I asked.

Anyway, the documents they have submitted in Court are all solid!

We will lose this case.

We will lose it, 100%.

On top of that,

to prove that the title deeds of majority of Edathala group's properties are fake,

the RDO has commenced an investigation.

Phew! If all these cases come together, what will I do?

Baby!

Fire this useless advocate first and hire someone else!

What job will Advocate Vettikkal Shashi, MA, LLb have then?

Hey! If you don't want us to give you trouble, stay quiet.

He came to level the farmlands after taking money from us.

He's not an ordinary Neyyattinkara Gopan.

Either someone has purchased him.

Or there might be...

some ulterior motive behind his arrival.

I think he has come here to seek revenge.

Has any poor Brahmin priest banged his head to death on a sacrificial stone,

because of you?

What if this Neyyattinkara Gopan is the son of that poor Brahmin priest?

Which poor Brahmin?

Hey Advocate! Stop uttering foolish theories!

-Keep quiet. -Okay. I will stay quiet!

I've stopped speaking!

I have spoken to everyone concerned.

Everyone is of the opinion that we shouldn't get involved directly.

So, make the necessary arrangements.

Do we have to do that, Dad? Will we be able to handle it?

Stop it, brother.

We must do it, Dad. We must!

Whom are you talking about?

You needn't know!

He should be finished!

That Neyyattinkara Gopan!

Don't call him directly.

Just do as I say.

However much we have to spend,

Neyyattinkara Gopan shouldn't stay alive.

Madam, I have a hot news for you.

To finish off the mobster called Neyyattinkara Gopan,

a monster called Bada Raju has landed here from Mumbai.

Gun is his lethal weapon, Madam.

An underworld war is going to happen here, Madam.

We just have to keep our eyes closed, one of them will be dead!

Either Neyyattinkara or Bada Raju.

Anyway, I'm going to vanish for a couple of days.

You won't get me on my phone, by the way!

O' great sage, please save me! O' monk!

O' learned one, please save me!

When this Neyyattinkara is on fire,

are you playing the Veena over here, O' sage?

Send them away, monk!

Edathala group has brought an underworld don from Mumbai to finish me off!

Bada Raju!

Bada Raju, sage!

What chance does Bada Raju stand in front of Neyyattinkara Gopan?

No way, monk!

He has a gun!

You don't know him well.

Though he was born in Karnataka,

his playing ground was Mumbai.

He's an accused in 53 murder cases.

Mumbai Police haven't been able to prove even a single case.

If he has taken up a contract, he will kill! He will shoot me to death!

He has a gun, O' sage!

We are with you!

There's no point!

O' great sage,

he has a gun! Please give me a solution.

It's not wise for you to be at loggerheads

with Edathala Group for the time being, Gopan.

You should arrive at a compromise with them.

Compromise?

What compromise?

The show should happen.

Guruji and us supported you, upon your request.

The homeless and poor children are in high hopes.

This is a necessity of this village.

You must return the property, anyway.

We won't allow the Edathala group to do anything other than agriculture there.

Poor Sreedharan Master and family will be stranded on the streets.

Don't give up on them.

We will help them in all possible ways to fight the case.

Oh God!

He has a gun!

Okay!

Shall I go and touch Edathala Mathayi's feet?

Huh?

Shall I actually touch his feet?

Boss!

Boss, please save me!

Boss!

Boss!

Oh no!

Please save me!

You should forget everything that happened. It was out of my ignorance.

A mobster called Bada Raju is searching for me all over town, to kill me.

He has a gu.. Sorry!

He has a gun, boss! Please!

Don't forgive him, even if you forgive everyone else.

I've become a jobless advocate only because of him!

Shashi, please don't light a cigarette when the beard is on fire.

He has a gun with him!

Do you know who my father is?

You're confused about that now?

Isn't it Mr. Mathayi?

-Isn't it? -Isn't it?

Dear...

-Please tell him. -Babymon...

-Please tell him. -Should we do a DNA test?

Please!

- No! No! - Hey!

This Edathala Mathayi can be quite savage!

True!

Before messing with me,

you should have enquired about me.

True! The truth about you is much greater than hearsay!

You're a devil, a demolisher.

You have the capability to give and take lives!

I need my life to be safe, boss!

He has a gun, boss!

You should evict Sreedharan Master and his granddaughter from there first.

Make them withdraw the case that they filed.

And...

you should cancel the lease agreement between us.

I've brought the agreement. I can sign anywhere, boss!

Oh no! Oh no!

It's Bada Raju! He has a gun, boss!

Oh no!

Oh no! He has a gun!

-Who are you? -This is a joint investigation of ED & IT.

-Move. -What's the matter?

Sir, we don't have any illegal assets.

Let's sit and discuss about it.

Please move aside.

Give us your phones.

All of you! Give us your phones.

-I don't have a phone. -Your phones!

Officers, search!

Go there!

This is Neyyattinkara Gopan's game! I am sure about it!

There!

-Who? -Who?

-Who are you? -Who are you?

We are from Enforcement. Who are you?

Aren't you Raju's man. I am nobody!

I have surrendered!

I have surrendered. Please put me in jail immediately.

If I stay outside, Raju will shoot me dead.

Who? Which Raju?

Bada Raju!

Haven't you come to take me to him?

Do you have a gun? He has a gun!

-Gun? -Sir!

We have no connection with him!

Yes! We have connections!

Haven't we connected?

Here's the...

... lease agreement of the 18 acres of land they gave me.

Here's the agreement.

They took Rs. 1 Crore from in cash!

Black! Black money!

Oh! So there was such a deal, huh?

He was sent by some adversary of ours, sir.

There's not even a single penny here, that is unaccounted.

Mathayi, you counted all the notes you took from me on a machine!

All that cash must be here.

Sir, please search those lockers.

-The key to the locker? -Errr...

Sir, I am their Advocate.

They have nothing to do with black money!

These are all declared assets, sir.

All these ornaments were brought by my daughters-in-law.

It's all Hawala, sir. Hawala!

Daily collection is brought here as cash in huge boxes.

It must be here somewhere. This Advocate knows all their secrets, sir.

Oh no! Me?

If you punch him in his gut, he will spit out the truth!

Please don't, sir. Not in my gut!

I swear on Jesus! There are no unaccounted assets here.

Jesus?

We should ask Jesus then, sir. Come on!

Oh no!

Jesus!

Jesus!

Dear Jesus, Mary and Joseph!!

My head is spinning hearing about all these crores!

-Oh God! -If he's praying, let him do it.

O' protector of innumerable money vaults,

you are the saviour of the money vault in this house.

Please move aside. Come on, move.

Jesus, only they know what they are doing!

Please don't save them!

Press and it shall open!

Wonder! Wonder! Wonder!

We're doomed!

Move!

Please go inside!

Sir, you should open all these boxes and search them.

-We're finished. -It's all black money!

What is this, boss?

A vintage bandit's den?

This lousy den must be your brain-child, Shashiyetta!

You're playing with religious beliefs!

Whatever be the religion,

beliefs should remain as beliefs!

It shouldn't turn out to be money vaults like this.

Wow!

What a catastrophic spread!

So much cash!

I'm seeing so much cash together for the first time in my life!

Had you searched thoroughly once again, you could've found some more!

Sir!

Whatever you find from here,

the sole responsibility for that is mine!

This is my house!

Mine alone!

And... Edathala Financiers...

That's a proprietary concern.

I will come with you.

You can go confidently, boss!

This is not the first time you're going to jail, right?

Mr. Mathayi, what should I do?

Raju has a big gun with him!

This Edathala Mathayi started from rock bottom!

I have nothing to lose.

I know!

Someone is playing a game, using you as a pawn.

You are no ordinary Neyyattinkara Gopan!

No!

I am Ganabhushanam...

Yeah! Neyyattinkara Gopan!

-Ganabhushanam! -Yes?

Before I set foot into the court,

your coffin will be nailed.

Mr. Mathayi, will you nail my coffin? Or will Raju shoot me dead?

Make a final decision!

I don't know what you really know about me.

I much beyond all that!

I am extremely dangerous!

-Rambo, start the car! -Okay boss!

Grandpa!

-What happened? -Careful.

He attacked us.

He...

We shall leave.

My grandchild's life is more important to me.

Take them to Balettan's house.

Please come.

Master, please come.

Careful.

They are poor people.

Please don't hurt them.

I haven't come here for fights and arguments.

I shall touch your feet, Bhai.

Go ahead!

Hey!

I'm well aware of your games, my dear!

Come on!

Come on!

Hey buddy!

Messing with me, huh?

Hey pal!

I'm not a Gangster!

I'm not a Monster!

I am Sinister!

I am Lucifer!

Tell us! Come on, tell us!

Who is this Neyyattinkara Gopan?

Why did you connect him to us?

Say it! Wasn't it your idea to make him lease out our farmland?

What's his issue with us?

What is his goal?

Say it!

Say it!

We won't spare you unless you say it!

Say it!

Come on, tell us!

I will tell you! I will tell you!

I will tell you!

I will tell you!

Even if I tell you or not,

my death is confirmed.

You should understand something.

I didn't bring Neyyattinkara Gopan to you.

He used me as a pawn,

to reach you people!

He had been waiting for an opportunity!

I had met your father Mr. Mathayi and his advocate Shashi on that day.

Three hours after that meeting,

he came to my room.

I was under his control, thereafter.

He told me that he should be the one who leases out your farmland.

No!

He was commanding me!

His posture,

and his eyes, burning with vengeance!

I didn't have any other option but to obey him.

Who is he, actually?

I'll tell you everything I know.

He is a soldier.

From Military Intelligence,

Colonel Suryachandra Lal.

After a secret mission which lasted for two months,

he had gone to meet his father, retired Subeidar Raghavan and his mother Janaki.

A soldier!

On March 27th, 3 years back,

he lost everything dear to him!

That courageous soldier!

No more excuses. You should start from here on August 27th.

I have already sent your luggage. Here are the train tickets for both of you.

Done!

Tell your mom not to drop the plan at the last moment, citing random reasons.

Okay.

If you take a flight, you can reach on the same day.

Now you'll take three days!

Son, please don't say that.

I don't mind travelling for three or four days.

Train is better!

Okay!

Ah!

Are you in charge of currency transportation again?

Yes, it's quite a difficult task!

Though it's going to be shredded, the currency is still valid.

Come.

Twenty seven...

Yes. This is our coach.

Over here.

[humming a Hindi song]

Good evening.

Where are you based in Kerala?

Kollengode.

We're settled in Yercaud now though.

Why are you going to Chennai?

We're going to meet our son.

He is in Dehradun.

He is a Colonel in the army!

Oh!

By the way, why is this entire coach empty?

It was booked by a family for a wedding.

The wedding got cancelled.

You are the only ones in this coach.

You got these tickets because you had booked them much in advance.

I'll get down at the next station.

The TTE and steward will join only from Chennai after that.

What will you do if you need anything during the night?

It's alright. It's just a four-hour journey, right?

We won't need anything.

We will read for a while and then go to sleep.

-That's all. -Okay. Good night then.

Take care.

Who are you?

What's happening there?

They will deal with it.

Who are you? What do you want?

Catch!

Fast!

Give it!

Come on! Quick!

The people who pulled off the greatest train robbery in India so far...

Neither the police nor the CBI have been able to find them so far.

But...

a son who lost his father and mother...

...found them!

They have been here for the past four years.

The righteous warriors,

Muthalakkotta Battalion!

Remember!

He won't spare anyone!

He will finish each one of you, one by one.

We don't have to tell Edathala Baby what has to be done with the body, right?

For more than 20 years,

he has been living in different cities like Calcutta,

Surat, Patna,

Rajamundry...

and many other cities,

in several different identities!

Along with him, there are 3-4 youngsters...

who have a history of robbery, extortion, human trafficking and Hawala deals,

who are hardcore criminals.

Establishing a relationship with the public quickly,

to gain their trust and confidence.

That's his modus operandi.

Extortion, robbery, blackmailing, contract killing...

These are his areas of expertise.

He had connections with many anti-national outfits at many places.

His group has executed certain tasks for them, as well.

Their last operation was in Surat.

For one year after that, no one knew where they were.

A total lay-off.

During the last deluge, as part of the rescue missions,

he came here with the criminals who have been working with him for years,

and settled here,

with a precise plan in mind.

Kakka Shiva alias Aiyyappan.

He's from Madurai.

Prime suspect in 14 murder cases...

and seven abductions.

Shaji alias Rocky.

Suresh alias Ronex.

The two of them were inmates of the Thiruvananthapuram juvenile home.

Missing from 2008.

Premchand alias Kishore, from U.P.

Wanted criminal,

accused in eight robbery cases,

three rape cases,

and eight murder cases.

Rs. 86 Crores that was being taken to Chennai RBI to be shredded...

They planned to rob it while staying here.

They executed the robbery...

during the stretch between Salem and Virudhachalam,

where there are no electric lines.

They had identified Edathala Group much in advance,

to launder that money.

You're yet to launder a part of the amount we had given you.

We shall settle the accounts.

When? Where?

We will let you know.

Until then,

as people have believed,

we shall continue as enemies.

Though they posed as enemies to the outside world,

they had arrived at an agreement with Edathala Group.

Until now, we've been followed...

and investigated only by the Police and CBI.

This is the first time,

that someone is trying to take revenge upon us.

We should be careful about him.

He knows his job well!

Anyway, he's not interested in taking the help of the police or other agencies.

The revenge hero who has come to finish us, all alone.

Colonel Suryachandra Lal!

He doesn't know us well enough!

When we finished off that old couple in that train,

I didn't expect such a twist.

We have nothing more to think about!

Let's get going!

But before we leave,

we should finish someone who knows our true faces.

No one should even dare to chase us again!

The investigation of this "Great Indian Train Robbery"

was taken up by the NIA.

We had a proper lead about this group.

But our only hitch was that we didn't have any solid proof.

So, we decided to execute an undercover operation.

This is the stage plan of the A.R. Rahman show that's happening day after.

Firstly,

along with A.R. Rahman, Neyyattinkara Gopan will come on to the stage.

Sorry! Colonel Suryachandra Lal!

He will come out through this exit, after that.

This entire exit zone should be under our control.

But for that, we have to finish off the bouncers here.

My boys from U.P. will come here.

Okay, but no explosives.

The transportation will be risky!

What is this, bro? Why do we need explosives?

There are four of us, and then our boys from U.P..

We're more than enough to tackle that Colonel.

Once he exits the stage,

we will have only a few minutes.

Relax!

We'll get it done.

Hi!

My dear people,

brothers and sisters,

I have kept my word!

The promise that this Neyyattinkara Gopan made,

to the people of Muthalakkotta,

has been fulfilled!

This is a historic day for Muthalakkotta.

It's a historic moment.

The winner of Oscar awards and the Padma Bhushan,

my dear friend, A.R. Rahman,

is going to present a musical feast for you.

This Neyyattinkara Gopan...

knows A.R. Rahman.

A.R. Rahman...

is known to this Gopan, as well!

This Neyyattinkara Gopan may be dishonest in his actions.

But I will never be...

dishonest in my words.

Like I told all of you,

Rahman will come!

He will sing 'Muqabla'!

I won't dance!

All of you will dance!

-Shall I call him? -Yes!

My loving friend,

my blood brother,

my friend for life,

'The musical storm'

A.R. Rahman!

-Welcome, Rahman sir. Welcome! -Thank you!

Please tell them...

No one has believed that we are friends, so far.

Please tell them!

Tell them who this Neyyattinkara Gopan is, for you!

Hello Kerala!

There are two reasons why I came here.

One,

I love Kerala!

And I love Malayali people and Malayalam cinema.

Second,

Gopan is my dearest friend.

Did you hear what he said?

If he asks me something, I cannot say no to him!

See! See!

This is friendship!

Sir...

I have a small request.

Sir, can you please sing 'Mukkala Mukkabla' as the first song for them?

You want that number?

I'll touch your feet if you want me to, sir.

I'll sing that one. Thank you.

[♪ Mukkala Muqabla ♪ by A.R. Rahman from 'Kaadhalan']

And this is for my friend,

Gopan!

You think you are ahead of me in this game.

But this game is mine!

And you are trapped!

Hey buddy!

I am extremely dangerous!

Shankar Vasudev and group, who were taken into custody by the NIA,

will never see the light of the day again!

Excuse me, sir.

May I?

Come in.

Yes?

Sir, when I questioned them,

Edathala Baby and Babu said that,

Neyyattinkara Gopan is actually a Lieutenant Colonel.

Don't record such statements from them for the time being.

Let Edathala Group's crime stay as an economic offense.

Let the ED take care of it.

Sir, the present situation is that...

retired Subeidar Raghavan and his wife Janaki

who were killed during the famous train robbery,

had a son who's a Lieutenant Colonel in the army, and that's a fact.

Lieutenant Colonel Suryachandra Lal.

But unlike what the guys from Edathala are claiming,

Colonel Suryachandra Lal is not Neyyattinkara Gopan, sir.

I have his photo in this pen drive.

That's right. He is Colonel Suryachandra Lal.

He is in a deep depression state now.

Now, he is in the army hospital.

So, Neyyattinkara Gopan?

He is an undercover agent.

His identity is classified.

He is known by different names, at different places.

Commissioner!

In last night's combing operation,

you snatched my hot cash of 1.5 million U.S. Dollars.

For the action you took last night,

this is Durga Reddy's reaction!

Your daughter!

Your life!

She is in my custody now.

Return my cash to me urgently and discreetly,

and take your daughter back with you.

The longer you delay it, the risk will keep increasing!

I might lose my control!

I will let you go if your father returns my cash.

I will let you go.

What say?

Won't your return the cash?

-Or should I kill her? -Durga Reddy...

I am the Commissioner's friend.

He has told me everything.

I will bring the money.

Hey! All of you, move aside!

Take her inside!

Hey! Open it and check.

Show me the girl first.

The cash, first!

The girl will follow.

I have given him my word,

that I'll bring his daughter back safely.

Show her just once.

No way!

I am requesting you!

Please!

This Durga Reddy does not need requests.

I need the cash!

If you want me to,

I can touch your feet!

Hey buddy!

I am extremely dangerous!
