We've a passport verification near the railway gate, sir.

Please remind me when we return, sir.

Someone named Shaji, right?

- What sir? - It's Shaji, right?

Not sure, sir. Need to check to confirm name.

If it's Shaji, he has two cases against him.

- He brutally hit a guy near this gate. - What?!

He is still alive because we rescued him on time.

One more thing. We need not do his verification.

I will send his report.

Sir, shouldn't we give passports and send such people out of the country?

At least our country will be saved.

That's also true.

- Isn't this the place, sir? - Where those kids play.

Uh...pathetic road.

- Hey, a vehicle is coming. - Sir, don't they have class today?

Must be the holiday for Uroos.

Oh... Uroos... Uroos.

Stop, kids.

Let's start.

I think, it's here, sir.

It's Out if ball falls there.

Hey, is it front or back side?

Front... Isn't it this side?

- I think it's back side. - Oh.. back side.

Hey...it's Out.

- Hey, I think this is the house. - Same.

This is the one.

Ring the bell.

- Oh..this is the front side. - Yes, this is front side.

- Hm. we took the wrong side. - Huh...yeah.

- Ring the doorbell again. - Huh.

- Hello.. - Anybody here?

Hello, anybody home?

- Nobody in, sir. - Knock the door, man.

- Hello, anybody home? - Ring the doorbell, man.

Nobody is home, sir.

- Hey boy, is nobody there? - Master is over there.

- Where? - Over there.

- Hey, seems he is there. - Again at the wrong side.

- Come with me. - Not a well-kept area.

- There may be snakes. Be careful. - Totally muddy and unclean.

- I don't see anybody around, sir. - Look, he is there!

So, he is the one.

- Are you Mr.Raveendran? - Yes, sir. Tell me.

- We are coming from Mannamoola station. - Huh.

Got a complaint that Pushparajan is missing.

It's true Pushparajan is missing, sir. But I didn't file a complaint, my daughter did.

- Oh... Who are you to Pushparajan? - He is my son-in-law.

- Why did you file a complaint then? - I told you, my daughter did.

- So, he usually absconds like this? - Of course, sir.

It's his usual trick, sir.

I wish he doesn't come back. She doesn't have to suffer his abuse.

Call Sheeja.

My daughter and Pushparajan don't stay here.

She was here yesterday, but returned home in the morning.

Eh? It's getting complicated sir.

Does Sheeja live in our station limits, sir?

Of course. That's why she registered a complaint with us.

- Can you give her phone no? - Sure, sir.

- Tell me. - 9846141520

- What was his job? - He is a jerk, sir.

- Let us do an inquiry. - Oh...

- We may call you to station. - Oh..

- You will have to come. - Sure.

- Sir... Sir. - Mm?

Any idea what he buried there?

I got you. No killer buries his victim in broad daylight.

- Don't be foolish. - Use your brain, sir.

- Raveendran... - Hmm?

- What did you bury there? - A dead dog, sir.

Body of a dog! Something fishy for sure.

- Hey, that's why he buried it. - He is not that straightforward sir.

'An Eventful Secret'

- Hey..what's up? - Dude, Reena is coming. All set?

Yes, all set.

- Don't be nervous and squander this chance. - Nope.

- Open your heart fully to her. - I won't blow it today.

- See dude, I will handle it smoothly. - Thanks, dude. I am relieved.

- I am all charged up. - Breathe in..breathe out.

- I will say all in one breath. - bravo, all set.

- Some kids are with her. - kids?!

- But, don't you worry. - No, no. I am fine.

Look, she is coming!

- You stay. Don't go, don't go. - I will be there, dude. Be ready.

Hey...you!

Mr.Anand, son of Manikandan, don't make me swear on you in the morning.

- I was about to tell. - What the hell went wrong then?

But when I saw her right in front, many butterflies fluttered in my heart.

- Butterflies in heart! Damn. - Totally blacked out.

- I swear. - Hopeless!

- I will tell tomorrow. - Who are...these...

- Hm..what? - Out to buy some meat for dog.

- Meat..? - Yeah...going to buy.

- Oh..ho. Don't roam around here. - Sure...sure.

You'll be dead meat then.

- This area spells trouble, okay? - What's his problem?

Study break begins after a week. We all will part ways.

- Then you will be left with your nostalgia. - Come on, let's leave.

Hmm... Come, let's go.

Hop on.

You know what a lover needs in the second place?

Tell me.

Courage.

- So, what's the first one? - You already have it, dude.

That's why you waited here without even brushing.

Oh, got it.

- Sister, let's go together. - Huh.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

- Are you late today? - There was big rush.

'Mental Health Centre, Thiruvananthapuram'

- I just made it on time. - Is it?

- What happened yesterday, sister? - Hmm?

- Yesterday...huh...nothing. - Am I bothering you?

- Just curious why you didn't come. - Yeah, it's OK.

I was going to call you if you didn't come today.

I wanted to take a day off today. Then I decided not to.

Why didn't you take leave if you were unwell?

I am okay, but down mentally.

- Your daughter..? - Hmm.

I felt like running away.

I am fed up of being blamed.

Don't worry, sister. Your daughter must still be loving you.

Kids use strong words when they are upset. Take it easy.

I raised her keeping her away from my struggles.

- Things changed since she is independent. - Forget it, sister.

Don't hold on to it.

- I heard something. Not sure if it's true. - What's it?

They are going to terminate the temporary employees.

- Vinod told me. I don't know if it's true. - He is right.

Got a letter the day before. I forgot to tell you.

Really?

My goodness. What's your plan?

Hmm. I need to find another job. Got two months' time.

- Call me when you go for lunch. - Sure, sister.

Hey, something in your hair.

- Nope. On the other side. - Huh...

I will help you.

- Petal of a flower. - Hm.

Oh, Pushparajan?

- Didn't you bring Sheeja and daughter? - No, grandma. I came alone.

I came here for a cow dung auction. Met with a small accident on the way.

OMG.. what happened?

These dogs have no sense, grandma.

A senseless dog crossed my bike.

I love my bike like my dad.

- Bike and I were thrown to opposite sides. - Are you hurt?

No. Dad's indicator broke... Shucks... bike's, I mean. Nothing major.

- Did something happen to you? - That's my luck. Not even a scratch.

- I think one or two bones may be broken. - Eh?

Nothing else. I have to take an X-ray to find out.

Mummy... Such terrible pain!

Why didn't you go to a hospital?

When I started only I realized I forgot my wallet.

- Why am I like this! Grandma... - Hmm?

- Do you have some money, grandma? - Money...

- I don't want a big amount. - How much you need?

- 5000 rupees to meet hospital expense. - Eh?

- I will return it as soon as I reach home. - Let me see.

It was a bloody dog!

Else, I would have held him by the collar and taken compensation.

- This pain is killing me... - Let me see how much I have, son.

Grandma, don't tell this to dad and Sheeja.

- I don't want them to be worried. - Hmm.

Two bulbs- A and B. Marked as A

60 watts/220 volts and B 100 watts/220 volts...

...are connected in parallel to a 220 watt source.

Which of these will glow brighter?

Sir...

Sir...

The class is this side, not to your back.

- What now? - My bus was late.

This is not a bus complaint cell. This is Prakash sir's physics class.

Trust me, sir. The bus came late.

I don't think you come here to study. So, don't get in. You may leave.

Please, sir.

What please?! This class is not run by your father to get in whenever you want.

Get out of my class now. I am in no mood to teach you.

Sir...

If you wait longer, I will throw you out.

Clear off.

Get out..you!

Done?

Stand up.

- Why didn't you come for the test? - I was unwell, sir.

- Eh? - I was not well, sir.

You fell sick the same day of the test?

Are you deaf?

Come and write it at 4 'o' clock on Friday, at 4 pm sharp!

Don't come here on Monday if you don't.

- Got it? - Yes.

Hmm... Sit then.

- Dad...please sign this. - OK.

- It's burning in the eyes. - Don't move, mom.

- Same song always. - Change the channel.

- OK - Hmm.

See, Mohanlal is there...

Your scores are good.

- Right? - Huh.

But don't be too hard on you to score it.

I don't skip my meals or sleep. You just feel so.

- Simply.. - It's on me!

We've planned to go Girija's house once the exams are over.

- We will chill and take a good break there. - Correct.

Oh.. so all set to go?

Not really. Bit confused about whether to take train or flight.

- We will fly mostly. What say, grandma? - Flight it is, dear.

- Yes. - Great. Anything left to decide?

- Can you change this and put that old song? - No way.

Hand me the remote.

Look at the superbly charming Mohanlal, dad.

- So boring to watch. - Full of stunts.

How can you enjoy it mom?

Ready 1,2,3...start.

(Singing a regional Muslim song)

- Vinod will be late, let's start. - OK.

- Are you on diet or didn't get time? - To be honest, didn't get time.

- Anyway, flatbread is healthy, right? - That's right, but now have this.

- Have it. - Hey, let's share it.

Have it fully and pass your comment.

- It seems a lot. - Have it fully.

- Oh...you guys started? - Come and join. We've just started.

I am exhausted, bro. No break since morning.

When I was coming for lunch, had to give enema to the patient in room 14.

- Then all his poop... - You cleaned it up?

- Don't bother sister, please eat. - Hmm.

- Why flatbread for lunch? - I think I am a bit overweight.

- No doubt. You are. - Hmm.

So, I am reducing food, avoiding meat and slowly becoming a vegetarian.

- Being a vegetarian won't help. - Then?

Look at buffaloes, cows, elephants... All are pure vegetarians, right?

They are not slim at all.

Only diet will not work.

You should run, swim for half an hour daily or something.

Then you will shed all fat and become handsome like Mammootty.

That's a scam, bro.

Look at the whale in the sea.

It always swims. Still, is it slim?

Actually, when the whale lose weight, it becomes Anchovy.

I know you are pulling my leg.

Please come, brother. Ambili too. Fast..

- What happened? - The patient in room no.23 is violent.

Can't control him. Come fast. Have lunch later.

Come fast.

- I too will... - You eat. I'll call you if needed.

Come, sister.

Fish..?

Don't grab me. Leave me!

- Hold him tight. - Be calm, my son.

- I will go, mom. - He is hurting my hand.

- Come on - Move aside

Sister, hold him.

Leave my hand, mom!

- Mom...mom... - You are fine, my son. Please go inside.

- Come. - They are going to kill me, mom...

- Make it fast. We need to leave. - We have practised it well.

We are making a mistake in this line.

- Last. Let's practice again. - What does this line mean?

Dude...all chicks are here.

Yes...everybody in.

- That means a sweet name. - Hey, Reena...look who's there!

Hey, don't look.

- How this ogler know we are practising here? - I don't know.

I didn't tell him.

- He is accompanied by that stupid. - Oh ho..so you looked at him!

- It wasn't intentional. - Mm...yes!

- He will propose you today, for sure. - No chance!

Your reject him right away. We are here to study.

See, who is advising!

She is on medication three times a day for being over- romantic.

Come on...

Why don't you slap him and say stop stalking you.

- She is looking at me, dude. - Go and talk. Don't miss the chance.

Hey, we were just kidding. Stop.

- Hey, don't go... don't go. - Dear...

- You know Sanskrit very well, right? - What?

- Sanskrit?! - Yes.

Vadanam ruchiram, hridayaandhaharam.

Maadaka haasam, maadhava maasam.

Mounaacharanam mathiyini sumukhi Anayu sakhi nee kuvalaya nayane.

- What does this mean? - Oh My God..I don't know.

- I didn't understand a single line. - Great.

Your friend gave it to me in the morning and fled. Who wrote it?

- This is written by Yousufali sir. - He is beyond his looks.

Do you know him?

Isn't he the owner of Lulu Mall who comes on TV?

- The Dubai man? - No, not that one.

- So, is it not him? - This is Yousufali Kecheri sir.

OK, leave it. What's the meaning of it?

That...I will tell you later.

Very well. When you got a good love song, used it in the letter?

Nope.

- But I liked it. - Eh...

Are you free in the evening?

Hey, looks like they've fallen for each other.

Shall we pull her from there?

Let them be. We don't get any.

Nope... I'm unlucky. Let them enjoy.

- So..you think I have someone? - Come on...

- I see you looking at me often. - Really?

- They are looking at us. Let me go. - You want to go?

- Are you practising? - Yes, bye.

- Hey, sister... - Huh?

You didn't call us for your grandma's death ceremony.

So?

- Invite us at least for grandpa's. - You!

OK. It's all my fault.

- Sister... - Hello...

Didn't see you for two days.

I have slight fever.

Did you consult a doctor? Fever these days can be complicated.

- Don't wait. - Feeling better now.

Okay then.

- Vinod and I will see you in the evening. - Vinod? Why me?

OK.

- Vinod... - Yes.

Let's go to Ambili Sister's home in the evening.

- Is it nearby? - 10 km.

- How long is 10km? - Vinod, don't bluff.

10km. Got it.

100 meters is 1km. So, 1000 meters is 10km. How simple!

Leave me.

[Sobs]

- Hello... - Hello...

- Grandma.. - Was it you, Sheeja...

I thought it was Girija. Baby slept?

Baby was very cranky. Just put to sleep.

Grandma, did Pushparajan visit you yesterday or today?

No, he had come here a few days back.

What's the matter, dear?

- So...he didn't come? - No.

He is out for the past three days. He is not answering calls. So, checked.

Ravi, it's Sheeja. Pushparajan is missing for some days.

Ask her in detail what happened.

What happened to Pushparajan, dear?

Nothing happened, dad. I was asking whether he came there.

He didn't come here. He usually doesn't, right?

Oh... Is it so?

Did he tell you where he was going?

He left Friday night saying his friend's father fell into the well.

- Not yet back home. - Friday night?

Fell into the well? Who is he to rescue him? A fire force officer?

He doesn't even know how to draw a bucket of water from the well.

Saviour of people fell into the well!

He must be boozing and loitering around with his friends.

Nobody fell into any well or canal.

- Pushparajan never lied to me. - Oh...

Dad, we should help friends in need.

- Do you believe that... - He will die for friends, and they too will.

You are the one who is encouraging all his nonsense.

I had warned against this marriage then itself. Did anyone listen?

People told me he was stoned last week and left unsteady by 10.30 PM.

- It was such a shame for me. - Our relationship is still strong, dad.

- You will never get it. - You always speak bad about him.

I knew about his drinking habit.

If my calls bother you so much, I will stop calling you. Huh!

Sheeja, sweetie... You should... Hello...

Why do you always scold her?

Did I scold her, mom?

I told her the truth.

I always knew that Pushparajan would become a headache for us.

Whatever, it wasn't fair.

Is this the way you respond when she calls in distress?

- She has only you to share her worries. - Mom, I didn't...

- Hello...dear - [cries]

Hello...forgive me dad. It wasn't intentional.

Sorry, dad. Please.

It's okay dear. No big thing to apologize. Please don't cry.

As you said, he will be here tomorrow. If not, I will inquire.

You sleep peacefully today. We will do something tomorrow.

Dad...I have to vaccinate Nandu tomorrow. Could you give me 500 rupees?

- I will give you dear. Tomorrow, right? - Yes, dad.

I will drop in on my way to work tomorrow and give you.

Are you sure you don't need it today?

- I need it tomorrow only, dad. - Okay, dear.

It's not as simple as you think, doctor. This is a very difficult case.

- What's the difficulty? - These people bother me a lot.

- An illogical bunch. - Oh, got it.

- Name? - My name is Lakshmanan.

- Yours? - Ramanujan.

Damn! What did I say then? Ram's brother-in-law's name?

Ramanujan (Ram's brother) means Lakshman.

- Anything wrong? - I never said you're wrong.

What troubles you actually?

Problem is, I cannot live with these people, doctor.

- No logical people in my family. - Oh.

How will I live with them? Meet my father. He doesn't even know what's logic.

His father is worse than him.

- You know what my grandpa named him? - No. Tell me.

Trivikraman. This is Trivikraman.

I searched for the one and two Vikramans.. I couldn't find!

Oh, dear. Got it. How old are you, Ramanujan?

- Of my body or mind? - Tell me both.

Mind is 15 years and body is 20.

- How old is he? - 24 years.

Hey, wrong man! That's wrong.

We should not count sleeping hours while calculating our age.

Sleep is like death. What should we do at that time?

Stop it, man. Let me talk.

So, we shouldn't add those hours.

If we add, the calculation will go wrong.

Then pulse of the universe will go wrong. Right?

Absolutely.

- Am I right? - Totally.

Correct. See, he got it. Learn something from him.

We just had a five minutes interaction..I pity you!

Be quiet for some time, Ramanujan. Let me hear your dad now.

- Does he sleep well? - Doctor, he sleeps less and talks more.

- OK. - Eh?

Master!

Why don't you ask my dad to clear my logic issues.

I am fed up of telling him.

- Ramanujan's file is open, right? - Yes, sir.

- Take that discharge file also. - OK.

- You're all right, son. - Felt bad?

Dad, your issues are simple enough to solve through logic.

Don't worry, dad. All your illness will be cured.

This doctor is smart. OK?

- Hello... - Hello, what's it dear?

The vaccine clinic was too crowded, dad. I couldn't call you.

- Do you know Susheela aunt's son Rajeevan? - I know.

His brother-in-law is in the Police. I have told him to inquire about Pushparajan.

Don't you worry. They will find him.

He is back dad. I called you to inform.

- When? - Early morning. I told you he will, right?

Where was he?

I will call you later, dad. I...need to rush home. The kid is alone there.

OK.

- Ambili sister... - Yes...

- We don't have much time. - Hmm.

- Started searching for a new job? - Not yet. I need to.

You will get it easily with such work experience.

I go mad when I have nobody to talk to at home.

Mind if I call you once in a while?

No way. It actually makes me happy.

You must call.

Raji sister's duty is over. Let me leave.

I have been waiting to give you something for the past two days.

What's it?

- Is it for me? - Of course.

Open it.

- Oh..no. This is too much, sister. - Put it on.

- Looking nice? - Happy Birthday!

- Thank you. - I am leaving.

- Ravi, son... - What's it, mom?

Reena is not having food properly for some days now.

She has stopped smiling and is not playful anymore.

- Did you notice it? - Mom, she is like that when exams are on.

She doesn't eat or sleep on time and never listens to us. You don't bother.

She had model exams at school today. She didn't go.

She doesn't leave her bed.

I am really worried about her. Why don't you ask her?

OK.

Dear...why are you lying down at this time? Get up.

- Don't lie on bed like this. - Get up dear. Dad is here.

What happened to you, dear?

You have no fever.

Wanna see a doctor? Why didn't you go for the exam?

[Sobs]

Get her some tea, mom.

What's these bruises on hand? Eh?

Sweetie...Tell me what happened. Why are you crying?

Have this tea, dear.

Ravi, why is she crying? What happened to her?

Oh... It's nothing mom. She panicked over the exams.

Don't worry, grandma's darling. You are so smart to handle it.

'ROOM FOR RENT'

Aren't you father of Prakash who runs a tuition centre?

Prakash's father? Me?

- He told you so? - I want to meet him.

Why come here? You should check where he stays.

- He already left that place. - Really?

Let him go to hell. He doesn't have an address here.

If he ever shows up here...

I swear on my dead mother, I will pelt him and chase away.

I am that furious on him, sir.

He didn't even turn up when his mother was dying in hospital.

So, where can I find him?

I don't know anything about his whereabouts.

I have no business with him. But I heard he moved to Mali with a job.

Even if he goes to Mali or Moon he will not prosper.

He made us suffer so much.

Not only us, his poor wife too.

She married someone after he left and lives happily now.

In a way, she saved herself.

Dear, don't you have to prepare for your exams?

It's okay, you sleep.

Master, please stop for a moment.

- Do you walk here daily, Mohan? - I don't have such bad habits.

- Then what brings you here? - I came here to see you.

- What's the matter? - Have you heard of money bags?

- What if I know? - I saw such a man today.

Besides, I fixed a deal with him for your plot.

- He is an interesting character. - OK.

You decide when to do the documentation. Rest will happen in lightning speed.

- Who told you my plot is on sale? - Pushparajan

- Your son-in-law. Who else? - Pushparajan! my foot.

Are you out of your mind to believe him? Watch out, one day he will sell you too.

He is such a smart ass.

I meant the plot at Panavilamukku, your daughter's share.

Not the house where you stay.

Did you hear me saying I am selling it?

I didn't. But Pushparajan told me you had reached an agreement on that.

Anyway, you are giving it to your elder one.

Oops! Please stop, master.

Let's sit there. I feel breathless when I walk and talk.

My muscles turn stiff walking on the shore.

- You go and sit. - Come.

Can you stop this dance and come to the matter?

Listen Mohanan, I will decide what to give to my daughter and when.

We don't decide matters by what that jobless jerk Pushparajan says.

Don't take a decision bluntly. Take your time to decide.

I will somehow hold that buyer until then.

My decision is final on this. Don't come after me for Pushparajan.

- You leave. - Shucks! Lost a deal for silly reasons.

You will never get a buyer like this. He will pay what you ask for.

- Have a second thought, sir. - Let me walk two more rounds. See you.

I will be relaxing here for some time.

Hey, think about it and call me if you change your mind after walking.

I will call you after some time.

- Hello...Boren sir? - Eh...

Sorry, is this Ruben sir?

- I am Mohanan here. - Son? Whose son?

Not son. I'm Mohanan.

Oh. What's up, Mohanan?

- It's about that plot we spoke of. - Yes.

- Owner went to Coimbatore on an emergency. - So?

We will fix the deal the moment he is back. - OK. Make it fast.

- OK sir. - Alright.

Yes, sister... You had called me?

- Yeah. I had called. - What's up there, sister?

- Reena is here. - Really?

It's been long since she called you, right?

- You cut the call. I will switch to video. - OK sister.

- Hang up. - OK.

It's dad, dear.

- How's your job, dear? - Job? Not bad, dad.

You neither call me or return my calls.

- You stay alone far away from home. - I have nothing to talk, dad.

That's why I don't call.

I'm okay. But why don't you call Girija aunt?

- Shouldn't I know you are still alive? - I'll call.

How long will you stay alone there?

Have you decided on coming back home?

- Are you fine there? - Yes.

- How are you, dad? - I am fine.

Dad, it's time for my cab. Talk to Girija aunt.

- Call me sometime, dear. - OK dad.

Be happy, bye.

- Won't you visit me often, dear? - Hmm.

- Sure? - Yes, I will.

You don't worry. I will go and visit her even if she doesn't come here.

- I am relieved because you are there. - Hmm.

You don't worry. She is a lot better now, right?

- You hang up. I will call you later. - Yes, sir.

[Humming a song]

- Sir... - Where the hell were you Ramanujan?

The coconuts must be dried now. You could have skipped this month also.

Saw this?

I went to Nagercoil with coconuts.

While carrying the load, I heard a sound.

I thought all bones broke. Luckily not.

But severe swelling and unbearable pain.

But that's not my real problem.

- What's the logic behind this big swelling? - It will go if you do an oil massage.

That's on my mind as well. Let's do it.

- Where are coconuts? - Let's do it later. Come and have lunch.

Good idea.

- You are staying back, right? - Oh no. need to leave.

- My wife and kid are alone. - OK, come.

Uh...here, just around the corner.

- Hey Pushparajan come here. - Any update?

The deal is off, Pushparajan He won't agree. My tongue fractured talking to him.

- What did that oldie say? - Nothing.

- He has no plan to sell the plot. - Damn!

If you can do something quickly, we can squeeze that big shot.

Let him hold on to the place as if he had discovered it like Columbus.

Damn! The oldie knows martial arts.

If not, I would have knocked him out and grabbed that land.

- No violence, Pushparajan - Hmm.

We will follow the path of non-violence. It's your need, after all. Talk to him.

You can give advance to that shop only if you get it.

Did you see that lamp-post? It listens but not him.

He will still not listen. Such a cheapo he is!

- He is your father-in-law. - Father-in-law! My foot.

Try to convince him somehow. We should sell it somehow.

- Hey, finished your tea? Come fast. - Yeah, coming. Let me finish this.

Anyway, hold the buyer. Let me do something.

- OK? - Sure.

Here's the glass, brother. Add it on my tab.

Okay

Not me alone, I am earning to feed you too.

I have been asking you for it since long.

Didn't you ask your dad about the land yet?

Are you dumb? What's in your mouth?

Did you marry me eyeing my property? Can't you earn on your own?

Yes..I am a jerk. You are going to see the real me.

Why did you stake your life on a loser? Get up..you!

When will you ask your father for the land?

Eh... won't you?

Why are you silent? Open your mouth.

Why don't you open your mouth?

Father and daughter are playing me for some time now.

My patience has limits.

Got it? Damn!

Get out, you!

Her fake tears... Your father too will get it from me!

He doesn't know me!

Dad...have tea.

You sit here.

Why are you suffering like this?

You come and stay with me for some days.

Then he will realise your value.

He was my choice dad. I should bear all.

- What happened yesterday? - He wants to sell that plot.

That plot and house are for you.

At least you are getting some rent from it now.

If he sells it, how will you live? Why he needs money now?

He has found for a shop in town. He wants to start business.

I have some savings. I will give it to him.

Let him start business or squander it as he likes.

Ask him to come home after calling me.

- OK? - Hmm.

I have to go, dear.

- Please have something, dad. - I had.

Oh...Pushparajan! Come in.

It's too late. I thought you won't come.

Take a seat.

Pushparajan, I am fed up of rats here. Can't keep anything safe.

He destroys everything.

If I don't trap him now, he will destroy the whole house.

I am in a hurry. I can leave if you give me the money...

Oh, are you in a hurry?

- You came alone? Or.. - I came alone.

You are drunk, right? Arrack...

What business are you starting?

It's a hotel. I have spotted a shop at a prime area in town.

It's a steal at this price.

The owner is holding it for me.

Done!

Wait, I will be back.

Take it.

- Cheque? - Yes. Can't you encash it at the bank?

Sheeja, dear...

- Sheeja... - Oh.

- Dad... - You tried to reach me, right?

Pushparajan forgot his phone yesterday.

- I called. - OK.

I gave him five lakhs yesterday.

- Did he tell you? - Yes.

Didn't he wake up yet?

- Just...went out. - OK.

Okay then, dear.

Dear, please tell him not to squander that money.

- Hmm. - OK.

- It's ringing. - Okay.

- Hello...who's it? - Uncle, am Reena's friend.

- Uh...are you working with Reena? - No, uncle.

- We were schoolmates. - Oh...friend from school?

- Yes. We are planning a get-together. - OK.

- So, can Reena join, uncle?

Reena is not here, dear. She is working in Chennai now.

Uh...that's okay, uncle. Please give her phone number.

Hold on. Will give you now.

- Note it down. - OK.

Give me a sec.

9546541342

Okay uncle, thank you.

- Take it. - So they are set!

- What about us, Jasmine? - Hey...

You just concentrate on your driving now. Rest we will decide later.

- Hey, why are you crying? - Nandu dear, what's wrong?

- I don't know. - Did your father create a scene?

- No. - Come.

You ate something?

It's been four days since he is missing.

No place left to check.

When I came to you the other day you told me he had gone out. right?

I was scared to tell the truth.

You never liked him.

So, my five lakhs gone!

He will be back when the money is over.

- He was always like this. - He left only once.

Let's wait for two days. Then we will file a complaint with the police.

I already filed a complaint.

I gave this address.

Where on earth have I an address!

He left with the money I gave to make an address.

Damn...My bad times... Everybody has to deal with it.

But when it comes to me it comes in loads.

What should I say now? Police will fetch him anyway. You be calm.

Dad...I am worried if somebody will harm him for money.

- I am scared. - I am not. Pray he doesn't hurt others.

- Come, let's eat something. - I don't want.

If you stay hungry, will anything change? I've made yummy fish curry, girl.

I will not even have a drop of water until he is found.

- Don't you eat, son? - I don't want.

- Let me feed you. - No.

- Don't play with food. - Don't force me.

Umm...Have it.

- I don't want. - Don't scold him like this.

I need to force him to eat, dad. Look at him!

I don't want.

- Have at least a mouthful, dear. - Not now, mom.

- For whom you are serving? - There are cats here.

They will come at window before I sleep.

- I don't want...please. - Only these things keep me alive.

Eat as you wish. At least rice.

- Have it son. Should I take a stick? - Let me give it. Have it, man!

I don't want!

Listen, son, else I'll beat you

He is the one.

- Are you Mr. Raveendran? - Yes, sir. What's the matter?

We are from Mannamoola police station. Got a complaint that Pushparajan is missing.

It's true Pushparajan is missing, sir. But my daughter filed a complaint, not me.

- Who are you to Pushparajan? - He is my son-in-law.

- Why did you file a complaint then? - I told you sir, my daughter did, not me.

- So, he usually absconds like this? - Of course, sir.

It's his usual trick, sir.

I wish he doesn't come back. My daughter will be saved from his torture.

- Can you call Sheeja? - She and Pushparajan don't stay here.

She was here yesterday. Went to her home this morning.

- Eh? It's getting complicated, sir. - Huh.

- Sheeja stays in our station limits, right? - Of course.

- That's why she filed a complaint with us. - Do we have her number?

- Can you give us her number? - Yes, sir.

- Tell. - 9846141520

20

- What's his profession? - He is jobless, sir.

- Let's inquire. - Oh...

- We may call you to the station. - Oh...

- You will have to come. - OK.

- Sir... - Hmm?

What's he digging for?

I got you. Nobody buries a body in broad daylight.

- Don't be foolish. - Use your brain, sir.

- Raveendran... - Oh...

- What did you bury there? - A dog died, sir.

Body of a dog! Something is rotten here.

- That's why he buried it. - He is not that straight forward sir.

Hey, what's the issue between you two?

How are you both connected?

Eh?

Sir, he is after my daughter Kavitha.

I may marry my daughter off to a devil but not him.

Sir, will he get a better guy than me?

- Am I right, uncle? - Uncle!

Do one thing. Stand in that corner.

You both discuss and decide about Kavitha.

- Understood? Move that side. - Ok, sir.

I knew this would happen.

Don't be afraid. Come.

- Mohanan... - Yes.

- Stay there. - OK.

- Mohanan... - Yes, sir.

- Give clear answers to our questions. - I will, sir.

What's your connection with Pushparajan?

That...I have arranged a shop for him recently.

Other than that there's no business between us.

- Huh. - That's not believable, Mohanan.

No, sir.

Pushparajan's wife said you both are thick buddies.

- No, nothing like that. - Mohanan, don't give my hand extra work.

- Don't lie. - Lie? me...?

Leave it, Mohanan. How did you settle the agreement and rent of the shop?

Sir, I went with the owner to write an agreement.

Pushparajan didn't turn up with the money as promised.

Next day I got to know that he absconded with money.

- Who told you he absconded? - Who told you?

- That. Ravi sir told me so. - Who? Pusparajan's father-in-law?

Yes, his father-in-law.

Do you know him earlier?

Ravi sir...Pushparajan only sent me to him to sell his plot.

When I went there, Ravi sir told me that he has no such plans.

- That's the only connection we have. - Umm.

When you saw Pushparajan last?

- That...I...met him last... - When was it?

That was...for...

He said he was going to Ravi sir's house for something and left on a guy's bike.

- That's what happened. - Whose bike?

- A football player's bike. - What's his name?

Name...It was written on his jersey, sir.

- Name... - What is there to think so much?

- What was that guy's name sir? Shucks... - Are you asking me?!

Aah...Ronaldo...Ronaldo.

The name 'Ronaldo' was printed on the back of his T-shirt.

What is he telling, man?

Hey, didn't you know that Pushparajan went to Ravi sir's house...

...to collect the deposit money for his shop?

No, sir.

- Dude, tell me the truth. - Sir. can I have some water?

- Give him water. - Why not?

- Drink it. - No hurry.

Relax and drink.

Have it as much as you want. But tell us the truth.

Sir, I will tell you.

Sir...near my house,

...our Panchayat president only told me there's an honest person staying.

Who are you referring to?

About me only. Do you think such an honest person will lie to you, sir?

Are you questioning me now?

- Tell us who took Pushparajan on that bike? - Ronaldo.

- Crap...again. - Sir, he is fooling us.

It's his drama. Hey, don't play your tricks here in this police station!

We can't believe that Pushparajan will travel on...

...a stranger's bike with a big amount in his hand.

Do you understand?

People have seen you taking him on your bike.

My scooter was at a workshop.

Then, how did he travel on my bike?

- Sir...he! - Mohanan...tell us the truth.

I am telling you truth only, sir.

- What? - I am not the one who did it.

- Then? - Maradona.

Are you lying to my face?

- Tell me... - Wa...ter.

- Give him some water. - Drink it.

- Enough. - Tell...

Hey Vinod...What's up?

Is it?!

Is she still there?

When did she come?

Did you meet and talk to her?

I will come there right away.

Here is the money, auntie.

Not sleeping and not talking to any.

- Doctor says it's a kind of depression. - When was she admitted?

Three days already. Slightly better now.

- But not fully well. - Taking medicine regularly?

Uh...we give medicines somehow.

- Spits it out sometimes. - Who is the bystander?

Her daughter brought here. She didn't turn up after that.

Doctor said she is stable.

I'll wait outside.

Ambili sister...

Do you recognize me?

We had worked together here for a long time.

- Ravi. - Can you remember?

We used to have tea and lunch together those days.

Don't you remember we used to share lunch?

Vinod and I had come to your home once.

We cracked jokes and laughed a lot that day. Remember?

Don't cry, sister.

You will be fine soon.

When was the last time you saw Pushparajan?

I had promised him the advance amount for the shop in town.

OK.

He came to collect it.

Didn't see him after collecting it.

- How much you gave? - Five lakhs.

Was it from your savings or adjusted it from somewhere?

I have given a house for rent.

That's Sheeja's share.

He wanted to sell it and take money.

So, I decided to give him.

I gave him money from the advance of that sold plot.

Why didn't you tell us he came for this five lakhs the other day?

Since you didn't ask I didn't tell. Not intentional.

Your interrogation is making me a convict, sir.

There is a reason for it.

Pushparajan's last tower location shows he was at your house.

His phone is switched off after that.

Pushparajan left his mobile at my house.

I only took the phone to my daughter next day.

You don't worry, Raveendran. We will find him.

- What do you think? - It doesn't matter, sir.

He absconded with money. He will show up when it's over.

- You may leave. - OK, sir.

We need to question him thoroughly sir.

He doesn't want Pushparajan to come back. I felt it in the initial questioning itself.

He didn't mention about the phone then.

We met him after Pushparajan's visit.

Don't you feel there is some mystery?

You do your job properly before making judgments.

When I ask you to investigate, you will bring his phone's tower location.

- Sir... - Start it from his friends.

Then check whether he has done any mischief at his workplace.

Sir, we got to know from broker Mohanan that...

...no plot was sold in this area recently.

If that is true, how did he get that money?

Why didn't you ask this to him?

Is Mohanan the only broker in this area?

Maybe some other broker did that deal.

- But, sir... - Also check his recent bank transactions.

He can withdraw such a big amount from bank only.

As far as I can tell, Pushparajan was not interested in job or business.

His wife also said he had done it before.

He must have played the broker and absconded after taking cash from Ravi.

That should be the real story.

Sir, my suspicion is that Ravi killed Pushparajan.

Then you tell me why should he kill his son-in-law?

There should be a motive behind any crime.

She has none to share her worries except you.

- Take it. - Cheque instead of cash?

- Can't you encash it at the bank? - Whatever...

- Give it to me. - Eh?

Five lakhs rupees!

Pushparaja!

You really think I called you here to give you this much?

- Eh? - What?

Hey nasty old man... you called me here to insult?

- How dare you to hit my daughter? - Eh...

Will you hit my daughter?

Don't hit me.

- Don't you hit my daughter? - Don't hit me. It's hurting.

- You don't know me! - Neither you.

Eh?!

- Hello...dear. - Tell me, dad.

Any update on Pushparajan?

Not yet. Did you give a missing ad in newspaper?

I gave it, dad. Police instructed so.

- How much is this reward money? - Ten thousand.

Whatever, I want to see him soon.

Ten thousand?

Is he the grandson of King of Kochi to deserve such reward?

You called me in the morning to tell this, dad?

He may not be the grandson of King of Kochi but father of my kid.

- Sheeja...my dear. - Damn!

- Dear... - Hello...hello...

Hello...hello...

Shucks!

Hello...before it was only at night. Now started in the morning also? Hello!

Don't swear on me, sister. Getting disconnected due to poor network.

What's the matter?

You gave a missing ad in the newspaper?

Yes, I did! For Pushparajan.

- Did you find him? - Yes, sister.

- I know where he is, sister. - Oh my God!

Is he safe? Where did you find him? Where are you calling from?

Relax sister...If I get it...

Can we have an agreement on the cash award?

Cash award?

- Oh...that ten thousand rupees. - Is he in some danger? Tell me.

I will tell it later. Ten thousand rupees is too less sister.

- Can we make it 25000 rupees? - Are you negotiating?

No worries, sister. First you google pay just 5000 rupees, rest on instalment.

Mind you, Police asked me to put that ad to find out Pushparajan.

Not to buy a TV on instalment.

I just gave you a good offer, sister.

You just keep the money under some stone as I instruct. I will do the rest.

Who are you, scoundrel? Where are you calling from, loser? Tell me.

Are you negotiating on my Pushparajan? Let me hand over you to the police.

Wait, I will set right you.

Totally gone waste.

Hello...Sheeja here, sir.

Ravi's daughter.

Sir...somebody called me to tell he found Pushparajan.

He called me just now and demanded 25000, sir.

OK, sir. I will WhatsApp. Please check it, sir.

Please let me know if you get some lead. Please, sir.

Okay. I will send it right away, sir.

Brother Sunil...Get me a big omelette with less chilly.

They stuff it with chilies. I lose all the egg picking them.

Make it fast, brother. I am in a hurry.

Here you go, brother.

Egg got stuck between the teeth.

What?

Maybe gone.

Out to catch a poor guy like me.

Even the army can't catch me. Poor Cops!

- What?! - Hm.

You...keep your mouth shut.

Hello...

Mom...do we have dad's old identity card or electricity bill receipts?

- Police caught the poor me, mom. - His phone call!

We will do fireworks on your back today. Don't be over-smart.

- Hello... - I am at station.

We got him, sir. Kannan.

Oh...is his name Kannan Pavithran?

Sir, tell him my nick name, 'The Prince'. CI will get it.

- Hey, don't move. - No, sir.

He says he has no clue about Pushparajan.

He only made the call, sir.

No. sir. We will reach in ten minutes.

Alright, sir. Okay.

I need to share cash with owner. No AC in this, sir?

AC...hmm.

Even boats that mine sand have AC these days. It's so hot!

Will they beat me to pulp?

Sir...can I go, sir?

Sir...are they deaf?

Sir...what about me? Oh...

- So, I can leave, right? - Mm?

We will release you now. Get up. Where is Pushparajan?

Sir...I don't know him. Please don't hit me like this.

I am already in a bad shape.

Tell the truth. How did you meet him? Where? When?

That will do.

If you lie, you know me! I will hit you till you vomit blood.

Sir, look at me. No blood left in this body. Already drained.

Oh...ho. You know where Pushparajan is.

If SI sees you, in one punch...

...you will shit in rainbow colours.

I am a poor guy, sir. I stopped all theft.

I don't eye other's belongings or steal them these days.

- I am a straightforward guy. - The saint!

- We swallowed that story. - My pleasure.

Sir, I don't think this will work out.

Looking at his fat body, he may be smuggling gold in his butt.

Sir, don't blame such dirty crimes on a reputed man.

What?! Are you pointing your finger at Police?

Spit it out.

Answer to sir.

- Where is Pushparajan? - I will tell you, sir.

- At Ravi master's house... - Aah...Tell.

- In a room... - In a room...

He is locked up.

Why did you go there?

I went there in connection with a robbery art performance, sir.

- Oh...art of robbery! - What's the use of all these now?

- Ring the bell. - OK.

Seems nobody is inside.

- It is locked? - Shall I break in?

- What's this man? - Up to you.

Some sound. Somebody is bathing.

- Shall I look through the roof? - Leave it, man.

It's wrong if someone is bathing.

Was it you, sir?

When I heard continuous ringing, I thought Pushparajan had come.

- What's the matter, sir? - Need to clarify some of your statements.

Come in, sir.

- How much did you say you gave Pushparajan? - Five lakhs.

That's the amount you got in advance for the plot, right?

I promised him five lakhs when I get the advance.

I took it from savings and closed that deal.

But this amount is not withdrawn from your account.

I gave him a cheque, sir.

Did you file a complaint against him for absconding with that money?

I thought he would do so.

But when I checked he didn't withdraw cash.

- So cash is safe. - Yes.

One more thing.

You are the last one who saw Pushparajan here.

You said he left his phone here.

- I took it to my daughter, sir. - That I know.

We need to search here. Please cooperate with us.

We only filed a complaint that Pushparajan is missing.

Why should we hide him here, sir?

- Your daughter filed a complaint, not you. - Hmm.

Besides, we got information that Pushparajan is here.

Pushparajan hiding here? What a joke, sir!

I don't mind you search here. But warrant is a must, sir.

- Sir, please go and get a warrant. - Show him the search warrant.

Here is the warrant.

Tap is left open.

Why this door is shut?

- I will open it, sir. - Open it.

- No light here? - Yes, sir.

Open this.

Open that.

- Do you see anything? - Nothing in it, sir.

- Move aside. Let me check. - Nothing sir.

Get me the keys.

Keys...let me check.

- Key is missing, sir. - What?

Keys are missing, sir.

- Move aside. - Nothing is there, sir.

Hello...

Yes.

Oh...when?

Okay.

What happened, sir?

- Is this Pushparajan? - Yes, sir.

He was spotted near Nagercoil.

- Local SI just called. - Oh.

Sorry for troubling you based on wrong information.

That's okay, sir.

We will make arrangements to bring Pushparajan back soon.

- Alright. Let's go. - OK, sir.

We doubted that poor chap unnecessarily.

- Sir... - Was there any need?

- Can I see that photo again? - Could have avoided it.

Dear...

What a surprise.

Sister had called yesterday too. She didn't say anything.

It is not a planned trip, dad.

It's been long since I saw you.

You speak so little over the phone.

I can see happiness and light on your face.

What's up with you? Tell me all dear.

Nothing special, dad.

I resigned from my job there. I got a good one here.

- I will join next week. - That's really good.

You can stay at home, right?

- Yes. - You relax. I'll get something to eat.

Uh...you don't have to, dad. I will get it.

- Let me freshen up. - Meanwhile, I will make something.

Hello Anand...

Hello...hello...Reena?

Yeah. Tell me, Anand.

I didn't want to disturb you anymore.

- But...hello... - Uh...I am listening.

Reena, you are at home, right?

Can we meet?

Anand, I told you that I have nothing to talk.

But I want to meet you. I need to talk to you. Please...

Ambili sister...

- Did you have medicine? - Yes.

Slept yesterday?

I brought oranges for you.

Let's eat some oranges.

Have it, sister.

Do you remember this sunglass?

And the day you gave it to me?

You gifted it on my birthday.

After giving it while we were in canteen...then sister...you forgot all?

I never thought we would meet today.

Hmm.

Do you remember the day we spoke for the first time?

Hmm.

Hey, I am leaving to on-site tomorrow.

It's a long-term assignment.

- Congrats, Anand. - Don't you have anything else to tell me?

I already told you, Anand. I have nothing special to talk.

- Then why did we like each other? - I don't love anything now, Anand.

What makes you this depressed?

Tell me.

Nothing like that Anand. I...I don't have anything to talk.

Okay, shall I go?

- Where did you go? - To see a friend, dad.

Remember Ambili sister whom I used to mention to you often?

Yeah.

- We were good friends, we are even now. - OK.

We had worked together for a long time.

- She hasn't been well, getting better now. - Oh...

I couldn't meet her when she was discharged.

Her daughter and husband left her in an old age home

...and they moved to Bangalore. Oh!

So...I felt towards her...uh...

- What's it, dad? - Nothing, dear.

I couldn't wait for anybody's permission.

I brought her here.

Thought you wouldn't turn up since it's late.

Do I have a choice, master?

Any leakage here, master?

- Watch your steps. - It's very dark here.

- Master, all set? - Shut up and follow me.

- Watch your steps. - Be careful, master.

One more step...careful.

- Warn me in case of more steps. - Yes...

- Hold it lower... - Watch your step.

- Goodness gracious...heavy load. - Careful.

Hey, keep it. Be careful. Police checking is there.

No worries, master. I will take another route.

Close it.

Bye, master.

A very good evening to one and all present here.

I hope everybody sitting here has a dream.

I had. But it all got tarnished when I was seventeen years old.

When a life-changing experience happened to me.

I was abused by my tuition teacher when I was seventeen years old.

It happened just before my exams

...and I was not able to complete my exams.

I was in trauma and was in mental hospital for two months.

And eventually, I moved out of my home town

...because my dad thought that it would help me.

Now, I am an active member of an NGO called Ritu.

Where we have rescued 33 girls from similar situations.

Thank you.

Yes. I admit that it was not easy.

It took a lot of willpower and strength from myself and my family.

Let's hope for a world where everybody feels safe

...and everybody respects each other's existence and right for peace.

Please ignore the past and think...

Don't worry about the past...

No...

Okay.

Don't worry about the past.

Serve you sambhar?

Eat, sister.

Dad, Pushparajan has changed a lot after he returned.

He was an atheist who abused God. He suddenly turned a believer.

He showers love on me and our son.

There is some secret behind this for sure.

But I am clueless.

Don't talk while eating. God will be displeased.

What?

I am serious. Not joking.

It will bother others around the table too.

If you ever speak of where were you and what happened to you

Pushparajan, I'll make sure that you never see the daylight again!

I don't mind going to jail. I'll see to it.

- Get it into your head! - Mm...

Eat, son.

I'm leaving tomorrow. Is still your reply 'NO' about our relationship?

Yes. It is a NO.
