[Madanolsavam]

Ready?

Shall we begin?

Okay.

Renu, the legislative assembly elections have been declared now in Kerala.

As part of this,

an allegation that multiple political parties have been pumping black money,

has become stronger.

Meanwhile,

a vehicle accident has occurred on the National Highway at Manjeshwaram.

The police and media arrived at this spot,

based on the information that there was a vehicle accident.

But this is not just a regular vehicle accident,

and instead, it was a pre-planned attack.

And that's the latest finding by the police.

Because the police received information

that this vehicle that you see here was attacked by a group,

and they escaped after stealing the money that the passengers were carrying.

The police are conducting an extensive inquiry based on this information.

As part of this inquiry,

the police are gathering information from here.

The information that we've received now is that...

the money that was in this vehicle...

was the cash that was brought as part of the election fund,

for the BDF candidate.

The police are conducting an inquiry based on that.

The police and others came to know about this,

after BDF workers filed a complaint regarding this.

The BDF workers have claimed that they've lost Rs. 5 Lakhs, in their complaint.

But during the police inquiry,

it was discovered that it wasn't just 5 Lakhs that were stolen,

but rather around Rs. 2 Crore.

They are investigating that.

Additionally, an investigation is underway

to determine the source of the substantial amount of illicit funds and its origins.

Over to you, Renu.

I will come back to you, Riyaz.

Breaking news - The Manjeshwaram black money case has taken a new turn.

Our reporter Sajin is joining us from Kasargode.

Renu, the visuals we're seeing now

are of BDF candidate Manjakkaran arriving by helicopter.

Yesterday, Manjakkaran arrived by helicopter at a private helipad in Periye.

In the background of these visuals,

we can clearly see Manjakkaran's workers carrying two trolley bags.

The bags you see within the red circle were shifted into the cars.

And we can clearly see that,

neither the police nor any other authorities are present in the area.

Let's watch those visuals again.

The money that was brought in the trolley bags marked inside the red circles here

is the money that was stolen from Manjeshwaram.

That's our latest finding, Renu.

Hail Manjakkaran!

Hail, our brave warrior!

Hail, our brave warrior!

[slogans continue]

Were they not paid?

Each person has been given Rs. 1000 and a biriyani, sir.

Their sloganeering isn't strong enough.

We have a problem, sir.

News has circulated that the money they stole,

was intended for our election campaign.

Furthermore, we've been thrashing him since the moment we found him.

This area is still so clean. No injuries at all!

You have this entire area to work on!

Give it to me. I will show you.

The position is correct, right?

Isn't it?

Yes.

Please don't kill me, Sir.

They are all in Mangalore.

Rest of the money is in Naicker's flat.

Please don't kill me!

Saw that?

What did you see?

These are things that you can also do.

How dare you steal from a swindler?

You bloody son of a rodent!

No, Sir!

Have you pooped here too?

Everywhere I choose to sit or recline, there is chicken poop.

Didn't I tell you that I won't be going to work today?

You never let me sleep!

Go ahead, sleep!

Sleep all day!

You are young, right?

This is the perfect age to do nothing but sleep, ain't it?

One day, you'll sleep forever and never wake up again.

Only I'll be there for you then.

Did you hear me?

What do you want now?

For the past three days, I've been asking you to get me red bananas, haven't I?

Didn't that enter your ears?

Red bananas?

Do you have any idea how much red bananas cost these days?

To buy one kilo of red bananas, I'll have to sell four chicks.

No one wants these chicks, even for free!

And she wants red bananas!

Hey Madanan!

Look at me.

Don't get up. Just turn towards me.

What is it?

Behind Mohanan's house,

near the washing stone,

a bunch of red bananas have ripened.

It has 72 bananas.

So, all this drama was for Mohanan's bananas?

Ask him yourself, Aunty. He will give it!

Or just go ahead and strain some more.

You can relieve yourself.

Why should I strain?

His bananas ripened because he used the chicken poop from here.

So, I also have a right to it.

Right to the chicken poop?

No!

Red bananas! That's what I meant!

You are good friends with Mohanan, aren't you?

So, ask him yourself. He will give it.

Have I ever gone there since Mohanan married that Christian girl?

Have you seen me going there?

I can't go and beg in front of others!

When your father was lying drunk on the streets,

and the bank seized your house,

only I was there for you.

How many times have you pooped on my lap?

And I need to fall at your feet to relieve myself?

Oh my God!

My fate is to die of suffocation because of constipation!

This is not hot.

Stuff some hot coal into your throat!

It will be hot then!

Get lost!

Don't stare at me!

It's the same dish again!

Understood.

Even the dish recognized me.

We've been meeting daily in the morning for the past 30 years, right?

Isn't it?

Just slurp up what you've been given, and get to work!

Despite my constipation, I made this for you,

and now you're complaining?

Shehnad Ikka!

- One tea. - Okay.

Mohanan has got such great balance, right?

What balance?

While trying to pick betel nuts from a pine tree last week, he fell down.

He was lucky he didn't die!

Come on, man!

He's just jealous because he couldn't marry Alice.

What jealousy!

[Welcome to Balal village Panchayat]

Hey, Mohanan!

Hey, Madanan!

Are you done?

I'll be done now.

Just a small branch!

He charmed her by saying that he will cut down a tree for her!

She is a simple girl. She fell for it!

If this Joju calls her, she will come with me right away!

Do you want to see it?

Lower your voice now.

Or else Mohanan will come down for you!

I'm not scared of him.

Then why don't you go and call Alice?

Then you will ask me,

"Do you want to break up a good family just so that you can get married, Joju?"

That's not necessary.

Keep this.

- Don't you want the balance? - I will collect it later.

♪ Such thirst for your love ♪

♪ So much sweetness in your touch ♪

♪ Such a rush when we're together ♪

♪ Such intoxication, I can't get enough ♪

Hey, Mohanan!

I've been waiting for you for so long.

You take forever in getting down from those trees.

Pay the rent for my house, man!

You got some nerve showing up at my workplace to ask for rent.

Shocked, right?

Mohanan shocked you, right?

Come home!

- A "Boosth" drink for me! - Okay.

- Don't you need one? - No.

Boosth means power! Shall I order one for you?

It's alright.

I'm always sleeping at home. Why do I need power then?

You are so depressing!

There will be a mango tree in bloom somewhere,

for you to climb on!

I've come to talk to you about something else, Mohanan.

Don't utter another word!

I won't rest until I find such a mango tree in bloom for you.

Boosth!

I swear on this Boosth!

Have some Boosth.

You don't need a big house to get married.

The bride should not starve! That's all!

Starvation?

Because of him?

He paints at least 200 chicks daily!

And he'll force people to buy at least 100 of them.

In a month,

he earns around 10 to 15,000 Rupees.

Isn't it? Look at him smiling!

If I have to earn the same amount of 15,000 Rupees.

I will have to put my life at risk.

That's not how it is for you!

You just have to sit down and sell chicks!

Right?

Risking my life is not a problem

if I can drink this Boosth made by my Alice everyday.

Right, dear?

Did you buy chocolates, Uncle Madanan?

Thank you, Uncle!

Don't eat it now itself!

Okay.

I've come to talk about something else.

What is it?

Aunty is having some stomach-trouble.

She has constipation.

Get her some Ayurvedic medicines.

Aunty has been bugging me for red bananas all day.

She wasn't giving me or the chicks any peace.

Someone tricked her saying that red bananas are good for constipation.

And I can't correct her.

That's why!

Why should you correct her?

Dude, red bananas do help with constipation!

- Are they? - Yes!

But where can you get some from?

That's the issue.

That's what. From where do I...?

Shocked, aren't you?

Mohanan shocked you, right?

Who else can I give my red bananas to, but you?

Only this house and property...

are under the owner's name.

It was me who planted the banana tree.

And the manure was yours.

Half of it is yours!

Don't you know that?

♪ Banana, Red Banana, Golden Banana. Do you want some? ♪

Just two minutes. I'll get it for you.

♪ Do you need red bananas for Aunty's constipation, my friend? ♪

Look!

Look at these beautiful red bananas!

There are 72 bananas.

♪ Banana, Red Banana, Golden Banana. Do you want some? ♪

♪ Do you need red bananas for Aunty's constipation, my friend? ♪

Here you go!

Oh my God!

Oh God!

Mohanan!

- Mohanan! - Mohanetta!

Mohanetta! Mohanetta!

Get up, Mohanetta!

Let's take him to the hospital! Mohanetta!

Dad!

- Mohanan! - Dad!

Get up, Dad!

Hold him!

He has opened his eyes.

Madanan,

if something untoward happens to me,

please look after Alice and my child!

Mohanetta!

Get up, Mohanetta! Open your eyes!

Madanetta, let's take him to the hospital.

Get up! Mohanetta!

Joju...

What are you saying?

What's the point in me coming there?

Has she ever obeyed me till date?

You know that, right?

Do you think her dad will allow her back into our house?

Alice is a soft-hearted girl, Aunty.

Anyone can easily deceive her.

You just have to get her out of that house.

I'll marry her from that door-step and take her home.

I want Alice!

I'm not coming home, Mom.

I will stay here itself.

What is this?

You don't even have space to cry in peace here, Alice!

He has a point, Alice.

This space is enough to release all the sadness within me.

During his fall,

four bananas got crushed then and there!

Hey, are the two of you planning to keep staying here?

Either you should vacate this house...

or make arrangements to pay the rent.

I don't have any money right now.

He was a good woodcutter, wasn't he?

He may have good savings in the bank, right?

Won't he?

He had a habit of drinking Boosth.

So, I think he splurged some money on that.

Don't ask them for rent now.

Won't it hurt their sentiments?

No, I'm not going to ask them now.

In case I ask her for the rent,

and she happens to hang herself to death,

no one would want to rent this house.

I will be doomed.

Understood?

Where are you going?

I'll go and get some food for them.

Madanan, who brings food to the house of the bereaved?

There is a child in there.

There is a child, right?

Shall I give them some of these bananas?

- How about four bananas? - No, it's alright.

Nothing will happen to you, Alice.

What more can happen to me?

Did you even bother about me while Mohanettan was alive?

You have only troubled us, right?

- Who? Me? - Who else?

Mohanettan used to cut all the trees in this town, right?

But whom did you call to cut the trees in your house?

It's a dead man's wish, Madanan.

Do you have to take it so seriously?

Alice,

eat something.

At least give something to the child.

[One month later]

O' God!

Aunty!

Alice.

Oh my God!

Chandrika Aunty.

She is the house-owner here.

Come.

Where are you going?

We need to talk.

Come on!

How dare you bring her here?

Just because he mumbled something before he died?

What will the townsfolk think?

It was your constipation that led to all this!

You know that, right?

Whatever happens, we will face it.

Come.

I hope your stomach-trouble has subsided, Aunty.

Come, come.

Go inside, dear! Go inside!

Dying of constipation was better than this!

Didn't I tell you immediately after Mohanan died,

that I want Alice?

Yes, you told me.

Didn't you say that she won't go with Madanan?

- Did I say that? - Of course!

Hey, lower your voice. Don't let him hear you!

Why bother lowering it now?

Bloody Uncle! It's only because she was afraid of him!

Or else, she would have come here long back!

She is only staying at his place, right?

There is nothing else, right?

She started living there today.

Tomorrow, she will marry him.

If that happens,

Oh God!

Alice!

Alice!

What is it?

Shouldn't we send her to a school?

At this midnight?

Not tonight.

Tomorrow morning.

First, we should have a house that doesn't leak, right?

We'll send her to school after that.

So, you can't call this place a house!

This is a chicken cage, right?

His dad never went to school. Neither has he.

None of us have gone to school.

We can't walk here without stepping on chicks and their poop.

These are all the amenities you'll get in this house.

Doesn't she ever sleep?

If people are talking,

what should I do?

People are not talking without a reason.

You've repaired the house.

And you keep roaming around with her. Am I not seeing that?

Am I a fool?

Don't give people any more reason to talk.

This house has a good reputation.

I will smash your face!

In that case, let's get married, Madanetta.

With that, people will stop talking, right?

Others too!

- Madanetta! - Huh?

It's true that I do like you, Madanetta.

But that's not enough, right?

Yes.

But you should wait at least until my daughter addresses you as her father.

Isn't that the right thing to do?

Isn't it?

Yes.

Let me go take a leak, then.

Shall we go, Uncle Madanan?

She is naive at heart, Alice.

Come.

- Dear. - Yes.

What will we do if we lose this scooter?

Mom will take me to school.

What will this "Dad" do then?

"Uncle" will stay at home then.

Even if...

Even if we lose our old scooter,

we can buy a new scooter, right?

Yes.

What will we call it then?

Scooter!

Even if we buy a new scooter when we lose the old one,

a scooter will always be a scooter, right?

Yes.

Although he's no longer with us, my dad will always be my dad, Uncle Madanan.

- Hi! - Hi!

Who is this?

Uncle Madanan.

There, there! Over there!

Lift it!

It got away, Uncle!

- Did you like this one? - Yes.

- Which one do you want? - This one, and this one!

- How much is it? - Rs. 100.

No discount?

There's nothing to discount on this item.

I am her father.

Why should I care?

Shall we go, Uncle?

Have it! Your Dad is giving it, right?

Enough, Uncle!

Haven't I told you that you're not supposed to have ice cream?

Inhale properly.

How is she now?

Bye, bye!

Bye, bye!

Go away!

Mom, look!

Dad has fallen down!

Hey! Where are you going?

Get those chicks back in the cage first.

And give them something to eat.

You can smell flowers after that!

Who else will put them in the cage?

Look at him! He's smelling flowers!

Come on! Come on!

- Study well. - Okay.

What are you doing, Madanetta?

I'm moving it so that we don't step on it.

Shall I serve dinner for you?

Hey...

Where is...

the packet of Boosth that I had kept here?

Your relative has come, right?

I gave it to him.

- Relative? - Yes.

He is sitting outside.

Phew, Chindan!

It's been so long since I saw you!

You never bothered to visit me even once.

How are your wife and kids?

What do you do now?

Are you still into real estate?

But.. is there any land left in town for me to sell?

Everything is already sold, right?

I stopped all that.

I am into buffalo trade now.

Well, even if they get sold, we can make fresh ones, right?

Who will make them? You?

Look who's here! Madanan?

Do you recognize me, son?

He is your Uncle. Uncle Chindan!

Uncle?

But my dad doesn't have a younger brother!

You have such a strong memory!

It's a long story.

I will tell you later.

I've come to tell you something important.

Come with me. Let me tell you.

Where?

Come with me, boy!

Come! Let me tell you!

Will you go only after smelling the flowers inside?

Come.

Keep those documents ready.

Madanan,

you only live once.

You need to enjoy it, at any cost!

How do we do that?

We should realize the value of what we have with us.

How much longer can you stay with your aunt like this?

Had you been responsible, would this house be seized?

Wasn't it seized for only 50,000 Rupees?

How can you earn a living by selling these chicks?

It's not too late yet.

What are you hinting at, brother?

Brother?

What brother?

I am your Uncle!

Uncle Chindan!

If I were just a brother to you, would I bring this fortune to you?

You should come with me to the Party Office.

Me? For what?

The Party Secretary wants to tell you something.

Today?

Not today.

Right now!

You get going!

I can't do it today. Today, I am...

very tired!

Who isn't tired?

Everyone is tired.

Uncle Chindan has come to get rid of that tiredness.

Here you go. This has his name.

What is this?

Title deed?

I asked for his Government ID.

I have only this title deed!

Otherwise, it's a dead end.

Here you go. Hold this.

Come, Madanan. Let's go.

- Where to? - To the Party Office.

You just have to sign and come back! That's all.

Sign?

Don't be scared of signing.

Just a thumb impression. That's all.

Aunty,

please leave me alone at least for today.

That's how it is.

Hey, Madanan.

He never visited when your dad was bedridden.

He never visited when your Uncle was bedridden.

I've been admitted to the hospital so many times.

Did he visit then?

So, if this scoundrel has to visit us now,

it must be for something worthwhile.

You go with him.

What's inside will always be here.

Today...

at least for some time...

Bid your goodbyes and come.

- Alice. - Yes.

The person who came now...

is my close relative.

I have to go along with him to the Party Office.

- Now? - Yes.

If I don't go, Aunty will make a scene. You know that, right?

It's something beneficial to us.

Okay?

You'll be back soon, right?

Yes, of course!

Don't sleep. Okay?

Where are you taking me?

The only remaining hope for Indian democracy, Labour Party!

You are their candidate at Vellarikkundu constituency, my dear boy!

Candidate?

Madanan Mallakkara!

I am really fortunate to be your uncle.

Chindan...

Don't kill me!

Warm welcome, Madanan Mallakkara!

Come.

Come, come.

Sit.

Sit.

Sit, sit.

Do you know how much we had to search...

to find a warrior like you, Madanan?

Oh! So any loser who fights for democracy is a warrior now!

Isn't it, Binu Thankachan?

Yes, Warrior Divakaran Master!

Hari,

everything should be done quickly.

Not many people need to know that we are behind this.

I meant the people outside!

- Right, Chindan? - Yes, yes.

Here you go.

File the nomination and take Madanan back, at the earliest.

Okay?

You should fill up the nomination form properly.

No spelling mistakes... etc., etc.

Okay then.

Don't go today.

We had to work so hard to find him.

They must have got the information by now.

In that case, you don't have to go today.

- Who got... - What?

Binuvetta! Nishadettan has come.

How are you, Thambi?

You are fine, right?

Well, about your liver...

I've spoken to a Doctor at Kottayam Medical College.

Go and get that transplant done at your convenience, okay?

Nishad Purushan is the Party's candidate.

Huh?

Yes.

Shall we vacate this space

for Divakaran Master and him...

to discuss the Party's future plans?

What say?

Nishad Purushan is not very fond of crowds and noise.

Long live Nishad Purushan!

Long live ILP!

Congratulations!

Same to you, Binu Thankachan!

Everything is under control, right?

Yes.

This must be the guy, right?

Warrior Madanan Mallakkara!

Thank you so much, Madanan!

- Shall we make a move? - Yes, carry on.

There are no human rights violations happening, correct?

- Not at all! - Okay.

Hey,

does the Party have two candidates?

Yes. Nishad Purushan and Madanan Mallakkara are the Party's candidates.

It's not adding up!

Nishad Purushan is the Party's candidate.

Madanan Mallakkara is the candidate 'for' the Party.

Didn't you understand?

Last time, BDF party played us...

using a dummy candidate, right?

So, we're paying them back in the same coin.

Right, Madanan?

How is it?

- Come here. - What?

- You come here. - What?

What is it?

What immoral act are you committing?

Even buffalo trade is more honourable than this!

What's dishonourable about this?

I gave Rs. 50,000 to his mother...

to make her agree to prefix 'Warrior' to his name!

Now if you write just 'Madanan Mallakkara' on the boards and posters,

that old cow will stab me with her horns!

Do you understand?

But who's going to write his name on boards and print notices with his name?

How will he get votes otherwise?

You just count the money, Chindan.

I will count the votes!

Oh!

In that case, I'll have to reconsider my commission.

Chindan!

You are so greedy, man!

Are you not greedy?

Didn't you take 101 sovereigns of gold from your wife's family?

I also have two daughters to be married off.

Oh my God!

Don't do it!

Your daughters can get married only if you get out from here, right?

Stop there!

Come here!

Oh no! Don't hit me!

He is killing me!

Save me!

Should we keep all this here, Rameshetta?

On the other side.

This has to be seen first.

Switch on that light.

You should wear this tomorrow.

What do you want to eat?

You don't need anything?

Two biriyanis!

One night...

I asked for just one night, didn't I?

You destroyed everything!

Calm down, Madanan.

We will file the nomination tomorrow morning.

I will drop you home immediately after that.

Alice is not going anywhere. She will be there itself.

If you make a scene here,

they will kill you!

Even your stench won't make it outside then.

Come on, smile, Madanan!

Forget it. Don't smile.

Just look here normally.

Okay?

I'm clicking, okay?

Wait.

Hey, stop, stop!

Turn the vehicle around.

Where is it?

Here's Rs. 50,000.

Binuvettan regrets kicking you yesterday.

Don't take it to your heart.

What will I do by taking it to heart?

I will put this in my bank.

Only Binuvettan regrets kicking you.

I don't feel that way!

Everything is fine!

You don't have to worry at all!

We've got 10,000 Rupees.

Right?

Rs. 7,000 is yours.

Rs. 3,000 is for Uncle Chindan.

I will come home in the evening.

You don't have to worry at all!

Drop him home, okay?

- Okay. - Okay then.

Okay, dear!

Why have we stopped here?

Let me take a leak, kiddo.

You can pee only after reaching your house now.

Why don't you do it now?

Madanan, just go and take a leak.

Is everyone peeing?

Hey, come on.

Then I'll do it too.

Go on!

Hey!

Hey, hey! I haven't gotten in.

Take me with you.

Your ride is on the way.

Shankaran Namboothiri.

Achuthan Namboothiri.

- Madanan. - Let's go!

Shall we go?

My phone!

Let go of me. I need to go home.

You better return my phone, Namboothiris!

Are you done?

Hey, Madanan Mallakkara!

Shall we go?

Hey, didn't you add the other clip?

Is that necessary, Sir?

It is necessary!

Sir,

only children will fall for this.

So what?

They can't vote, right?

Oh!

Sir,

We should be deciding what the public should believe.

We should only show them what they need to believe.

And we should show it to them everyday as well.

That's correct!

Let's look at the demographics, Sir.

The total number of voters in Kanhangad...

is 2,14,209.

The number of votes cast in the previous election was 1,67,083.

ILP got around 68,000 votes.

Our BDF party got around 56,000 votes.

The remaining garbage candidates got around 6,000 votes.

This time, there won't be any garbage.

- That's good! - We'll set it on fire.

We've dealt with them directly, Sir.

That will cost around Rs. 1 Crore.

A majority of at least 3,000 votes.

I can guarantee that.

Only 3,000?

We need a majority of at least 10,000 votes to win, right?

You are so greedy, sir.

The blood stains on your clothes from your growing up years in Mangalore and Delhi.

You can just wipe it off, right Sir?

Why are you wasting time trying to bury it?

You have done excellent homework, Ouseph!

What's your price?

Without expenses, 50 lakhs only. In cash.

You are so greedy, man!

Shall I start my service, Sir?

Hello?

- Okay. - Excuse me, Sir.

Just a minute.

- Say it. - There's an issue, sir.

Say it. We don't have to hide anything from Madanan Sir.

Whatever it is, you can say it out loud.

ILP party is fielding a dummy candidate, Sir.

One Madanan Mallakkara.

His symbol is 'Snake gourd'.

Do you guys need an invitation now?

Should I give you a study class to teach you...

that they've fielded a dummy candidate with my name to defeat me,

that he should be kidnapped,

and that there should not be another Madanan's name on the ballot paper?

Go and kidnap him!

Why are you kidnapping me?

Can you try to remember once again?

What if you've mistaken me for someone else?

Hey, stop here. Let me explain the situation to him.

This is you, right?

That's me indeed.

What if you got the wrong photo?

Here are the two hit jobs we've received today.

Which one of these is you?

Touch and show.

Madanan,

if you so much as utter a word or cry before getting off this vehicle,

I'll chop off your tongue...

and take you to the other Madanan.

He will shoot you dead.

It will all be over then. Got it?

If you come with us without trying to pull any tricks,

you will live longer.

- Is that okay? - Shall we go?

Aren't you coming?

Are you mocking me?

I will smash you!

Let's go!

There's a mistake in your homework, Ouseph!

Including Rs. 1 Crore paid for candidate seats, Rs. 4 Crores!

Ouseph, if your calculations go wrong,

I will throw you under a chartered flight and kill you!

My fee is negotiable, Sir!

What's there to negotiate now?

Madanan took a flight and went to Dubai!

After two days,

the Sheikh will give him a SIM card.

If Madanan calls,

don't forget to tell him that Uncle Chindan came here. Okay, dear?

But he didn't say anything before leaving!

Even I got to know about it only from the Party office!

And it was me who asked him not to tell anyone else.

You go inside and eat something, dear.

There's no food inside.

Go and play.

Here you go!

Have this and go.

Sister!

What are you going to do?

If the media finds out that this money was given by the Party,

it will be a disgrace for the entire Party!

Shouldn't I count and confirm that there's Rs. 7000?

Don't doubt what I am about to tell you now.

Our Chief Minister...

is very close to the Sheikh.

They're in cahoots.

Extremely close friends!

And everyone is aware of it.

The Sheikh needs a chicken for dinner without fail, everyday.

And Dubai is full of eagles.

The Sheikh's eagle catches his own chicks.

What's the solution for that?

Those chicks will have to be coloured!

And for that, they need Madanan!

Hello.

Where is Madanan's house? The one who colours chicks?

What's the matter, Sir?

It will be beneficial for him.

Park your vehicle over here, Sir.

Sir, if you want to get chicks coloured,

Madanan is not very good at it.

The colours wear off quickly. There are a lot of complaints.

The job is not here. It's abroad!

Who's going to come complaining from there?

In that case, don't go that way, Sir.

There's a short cut.

And, don't go in this car. This is a good vehicle, right?

We can go in my vehicle. I will take you there.

Get down, Sir.

What is the actual job, Sir?

He has to dip Dubai Sheikh's Ostrich in colour, dry it, nurture it and protect it!

That's a great job!

Madanan is perfect for that.

No one else colours chicks like him in South India.

They won't be granting leaves for him, right?

Shouldn't they? They won't!

Get in, Sir.

Your case is closed, Madanan!

Madanan, have you heard of Kuttappa?

Kuttappa? Who's that?

Kuttappa is the Don who rules over Coorg and Kushal Nagar.

Don of Madikeri.

Don't try to mess with him.

I'm warning you.

Stop here.

Oh, he's here?

Come, Madanan.

Welcome to Kuttappa's kingdom, boys!

Come on, walk!

- Is he the guy? - Yes, it's him.

- Namaste! - Namaste!

Hey, catch him! Catch him!

Catch him, Madanan!

Catch him!

Hey!

What is this, Madanan? He's not well.

Sorry, Kuttappa.

This is our place.

There won't be many amenities.

But safety is guaranteed!

Just hum if you need anything.

Hum only if you need anything!

These are our boys.

Hi!

Hi!

Walk!

Slowly. Be careful. No need to hurry.

Alice!

Alice!

You have guests.

- Who are these people? - They are guests.

Sit down, Sir.

This is Alice, my aunty's daughter.

This is... Madanan's aunty.

They need Madanan. It's urgent.

They need to take him to Dubai.

The Dubai Sheikh's ostrich has to be coloured...

dried, reared and protected.

And he's the only one who knows that job, right?

But Madanettan has left.

Where to?

Dubai.

Is it?

They also said that the Sheikh's chicks need to be coloured.

Who said that?

Uncle Chindan.

Okay!

In that case,

we will find someone else.

That would be better. See you, then.

Bring him along.

Well... I...

I want to see how Madanan flies to Dubai!

What's there to see in that?

He will board the flight and fly away like everyone else. That's it, right?

Okay!

Hey, I don't want any money!

Sir is being so formal!

Shall we go, watch Madanan boarding the flight to Dubai?

Let's go.

♪ Is there a royal chariot? Is there a chessboard? ♪

♪ Is there a pond of blue lotuses? ♪

Answer it and say that we don't have any ponds here, bro!

Subhadra.

Shankaretta,

you went missing after going out to buy oil!

Even if we don't light the lamp for a week, nothing will happen, Subhadra.

So, you'll come back only after a week?

Shouldn't I light the lamp here until then?

This job came to us all of a sudden!

My brother is also with me, right?

So, you've gone on a tour without me for a week!

Don't talk to me!

Don't me mad at me, Subhadra.

If you lose that bottle too, there are no more bottles left here.

The bottle is with me. I will bring it when I come back.

What is it, Chetta?

- It was Subhadra. - Okay.

We got this contract while we were on the way to buy coconut oil, right?

She's feeling low thinking that...

our home will be cursed if we don't light the lamp.

So, you have a family, sir?

Why do you ask so?

What do I lack?

It's not that.

I thought you'll understand my problems if I share them with you, Sirs.

Tell me. What is your problem?

I need to see the wife and child.

That's all?

I'll be happy to do that.

Look.

This is my wife, Subhadra.

This is my daughter, Arya Subhadra Shankaran.

Happy now?

I won't go anywhere, Sir.

Just drop me home.

My chicks will be starving.

Just shut up, Madanan!

How far can chicks grow?

Forget them.

I have a mother and child, Sir.

Don't you have a wife?

Yes.

Can't you say that then? Will we eat you up?

If I don't go back, all of them would starve.

Is that the problem?

We've sent enough money with Chindan,

so that your family or your chicks don't starve.

And he has told them that you're in Dubai.

- In Dubai? - Yes.

And did they believe it?

Even we believed it! Why wouldn't they?

They are killing me!

Who will it be?

Check who it is, Chetta.

Who is it?

There's a call for you, Sir.

Call.

I need to take a dump, Chetta.

I can't control it. Just check who it is.

- Namaste, Sir! - What is it?

There's a call for you, Sir.

- Who is it? - He claimed to be some "Warrior"!

I don't know the details. He's holding on the line.

Ask them to connect it here.

I tried multiple times.

But it's not getting connected.

It's faulty, I guess.

- Achuthan! - Yes.

I'll just go downstairs and come back.

There's a call from the Warrior.

- Close the door. - Okay.

Can I just check the phone, Sir?

Do it.

Namaste.

Where are you from, Sir?

Your home-town?

- Kasaragod. - Oh, you are a Malayali?

Most of our guests are Malayalis.

Do you want any special service, Sir?

Pillow, blankets. Anything like that?

Tell me, Warrior.

Yeah, the phone in the room is not getting connected.

And the network signal is weak here.

- It's safe here. - Stay here, Joju.

Two of you should wait here.

We have a guy for local support here. Kuttappa!

He is close to us.

- Where do we get good coffee powder here? - I don't know.

Why are you talking like that?

You just have to say it.

Assam, Coorg, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam. You will get all sort of girls!

You just have to hum, Sir.

Yes, Sir. This is enough!

I will come back, Sir.

Chetta, the gun!

Oh my God!

I knew you were our type the moment I saw you, Sir!

I too felt the same...

- when I saw you. - Really?

Where is Madanan?

What can I do? I was in the toilet!

You had to take a dump right then!

What will we tell that Warrior?

Where will we look for that bloody schmuck now?

There won't be any problem, right?

What problem, Sir?

Our town, our house!

I will set up everything and come back.

He wouldn't have left Coorg, for sure.

Well, Sir...

Is there any point in all of us going after him?

Some of us can concentrate on the election campaign back home, right?

Moreover, how many votes can he get at most?

We are exhausted, Sir.

- Hello, Sir. - Did you get him?

It's almost like we've got him, Sir.

So you didn't get him?

We will get him.

You should get him. Or else, you will get it from me!

You guys should be here for two more days.

Don't stop looking for him until the deadline for withdrawing nominations.

Okay?

Did you pay for the juice?

I will pay it, Sir.

Ouseph Sir...

I could understand the situation only now.

I am happy.

But that's not what I'm stressed about.

What if you find Madanan after the deadline for withdrawing nominations?

What will you do?

Manjakkaran will handle that then.

That's enough! I just wanted to hear that from you.

Why are you all sitting as if you got beaten up? Get up!

He wouldn't have left Coorg.

Go to the bus stand!

Hey! I didn't get in!

What is it, Chetta?

Bus stand...?

Where is the bus stand?

Drink some water, Chetta.

Is there any problem? Where do you want to go?

Balal.

Kasaragod.

The bus stand is quite far, Chetta.

I will drop you somewhere nearby.

You can walk from there.

Please get down, Chetta.

I have to make a delivery.

There's a package for you, sir.

Stop there.

What is it, Chetta?

Come!

Madanan!

Namboothiris,

Coorg is not safe for you any more.

You should shift to a different place immediately.

Shall we leave, Madanan?

Alice!

Haven't I told you that the colours on chicks are not permanent?

Madanan is gone, Alice.

He won't be coming back.

Did you see Madanettan?

I didn't see him.

No one will see him again!

What did you say?

Oh God!

What did I say, Aunty?

Don't beat me, Aunty! Madanan hasn't go to Dubai!

He took money from the Party guys and became a candidate.

Even if he wins or loses,

he won't be able to stay in this town, Alice!

So,

it's better that you come home alone with me, Alice.

Get going, Joju.

You don't have to come here often to create trouble.

We will manage to live somehow.

You heard it, right? Get up!

- Get up! - I'm leaving!

I'm leaving!

This hag should be chained!

Worthless bugger!

Hey, this is also a border-town of Karnataka.

This place is full of Malayalis.

As far as I can remember, no politician has come here looking for us.

They also need to take this road, right?

Shouldn't they feel safe?

Well, that's also true.

[traditional song playing from speakers]

Come.

Where are you taking me?

Hey, these are my friends.

Come, get in.

Come.

Let me go! I want to go home!

Madanan,

I've taken a loan of Rs. 1 Lakh, based on this contract alone.

If you mess this up, I won't let you see your family!

I'm warning you!

If you don't set me free, your clan will be destroyed, Namboothiris!

Your clan will be destroyed, your house will be in shambles and you will be cursed!

Set me free!

Why did you have to come all the way here to say this, Alice?

We had asked Chindan to arrange everything and inform you.

Well, people are saying that...

the Party has made Madanettan a candidate.

People can say anything, right dear?

Has Madanan grown so much so that he can be an ILP candidate?

The Party's candidate is Nishad Purushan.

Well, you don't have to worry, dear.

He will call you once he get settled with the Sheikh.

Let me see.

It's not right to avoid one's wife, right?

I'll be right back.

It's an international call.

[Ringtone from "Mazhavilkavadi"]

- Hello. - Is Madanan safe, Namboothiri?

He is safe. But he isn't eating anything.

I have a doubt that Madanan's problem is not so simple.

He's throwing tantrums, saying that he wants to go home and see his wife!

You get it, right?

You do this.

Pass the phone to him.

His wife is waiting over here.

Don't let him spill the beans!

Okay, Sir.

It's Madanan, dear.

Talk to him.

Where are you, Madanetta?

You're not in any sort of trouble, right?

I've come here for a job.

There are no problems here.

People are saying all sorts of things.

I got really scared.

Don't be scared.

I will be back after a few days.

If someone asks you, tell them that I've gone to Dubai for a job.

Our daughter keeps asking where her dad has gone.

Madanetta?

Can't you hear me?

Hello?

When will you come back?

Madanetta?

Don't you feel relieved now?

If you have any further doubts,

you can go to the Police station. Okay?

I can accompany you, if you want.

Madanan,

just three more days.

After that, we'll buy some jasmine flowers, take you home and make you sleep.

Achuthan Namboothiri and Shankaran Namboothiri won't sleep until that happens!

Is that okay?

Okay?

Okay?

Please don't cause any trouble until then.

Don't waste my bullet unnecessarily!

Aren't you happy now?

Aren't you happy?

Aren't you?

Aren't you?

[Three days later]

Don't you want to go home? Enough with your grooming! Come!

Here are the jasmine flowers! We've kept our word, okay?

Take this too. It's for your daughter.

Come. Let me tell you something.

Come here.

Sit here.

Madanan,

we're doing this because we're broke back home.

And this is not our family profession, right?

If there has been any mistake from me or my brother, you should forgive us!

Or you do this.

Point this gun at my forehead, Madanan!

It's alright.

You did this to survive, right?

Isn't it a sin even to colour chicks?

But I'm doing that, right?

Who's not a sinner in this world?

You're a nice man, Madanan.

I... I won't have peace of mind.

I won't be able to sleep once I'm back home.

Please point this to my head!

Then, point it to my chest!

I can't do it!

Don't say that, Madanan.

You have to learn to shoot, right?

- Hello. - Manjakkaran's guys can go to any extent!

If he comes here, they will kill him.

Let him go only after the results are announced.

You said one week, right?

The money you're paying us won't cover even this resort's rent.

Borrow some money from somewhere for now. I'll pay it later.

That's not possible, Boss!

Don't you know that if we hand him over to the other party,

they will pay us much more than you.

Don't pull the trigger! It will fire!

You are messing with the Party!

Don't forget that.

I'm a Party worker too!

Our entire family is!

And, this Namboothiri's contract team isn't desperate enough

to pay from our own pockets to get a contract.

And then, if you bring it close to the forehead,

I will surrender! I won't open my mouth!

If you talk too much,

we will kill Madanan and throw him at your doorstep!

Then, there will be no party or election..

Where should I send the money?

I will pay it.

Don't send it over here.

Give Rs. 50,000 and 5 litres of coconut oil to my brother's wife.

And, my brother has a chit fund account in KSFE.

Deposit Rs. 22,000 into that account.

And our boys will come and collect Rs. 1 Lakh from the Party office.

You are so greedy, man!

Shouldn't we feed him until the results are announced?

There's an urgent matter.

I need to go home.

Let's go, then.

Shut your mouth and stay here.

If you try to escape, I'll burn you alive!

Understood?

[Two months later]

The Left rises once again in Kerala.

As the results from 138 out of 140 constituencies are now available,

with a clear majority in 90 constituencies, the left front has regained power.

It's after several decades that a party has returned to power

for a second term in Kerala.

While the right front was confined to 48 seats,

BDF who claimed that they will secure at least six seats,

wasn't able to open an account this time as well.

BDF candidate Madhanan Manjakkaran

who had confirmed his victory in Kanhangad constituency,

lost the election for just 765 votes,

and this has sent shockwaves across BDF camps.

In Kanhangad constituency where the majority was changing every minute,

Nishad Purushan defeated Madanan Manjakkaran after a very close battle.

The fact that an independent candidate,

also named Madanan, received 1200 votes...

in the Kanhangad constituency, became a critical factor.

Wow! Our contract is a success!

You are no regular guy, Madanan!

You managed to get more than 1000 votes on your own.

Really?

You might win if you contest next time!

Shall we go home now?

Let's go!

Long live Nishad Purushan!

Long live ILP.

Long live Nishad Purushan!

Long live ILP!

[slogans continue]

Get down, get down.

Madhana,

I'll be right back.

Let me buy some flowers.

Two bundles of fresh jasmine flowers, Chechi.

The contract guy from Madikeri?

- Step aside! - Huh?

Move aside!

- Here you go! - My nose!

- You are a contract goon, right? - What contract?

What contract?

Don't hit me!

Let's at least get introduced before you hit me.

- Tell me who you are. - Don't you know?

- You don't know us? - We'll introduce ourselves then.

Let's talk!

Who is this?

Here you go! 5 years more!

Namboothiri's contract gang.

- Hit him! - Dude, hit me slowly!

Hit his head!

Let me talk.

On his nose!

Let me talk!

Just a minute!

Hey, it hurts!

Hey, move aside! He is Alice's relative!

- Oh! He's a relative? - Alice?

Come on! He is crazy!

I got scared seeing him, for no reason!

This unreasonable fear is a quality no goon should ever possess.

- Shall we go and apologize? - No need.

He should have been beaten a long time ago!

Hop on quickly. Don't wait for him to come back.

Is it here?

Yes, stop here.

Get down.

You can see the NRI's house before you leave.

It's late, right? We need to get home.

Call us if you have any hit jobs, Madanan.

- We will do it. - Yes.

We've been carrying a gun for a long time.

We should fire it at least once, right?

Here you go. Give this to your daughter.

- What is it? - For your daughter.

Hey, stop! Don't you want this?

Oops! That's our main tool!

What happened?

Aunty had a fall and hurt herself.

How is it now?

It's the same as earlier.

Madanan, you were gone for so long!

Where is our daughter?

Oh, you are back?

Thank you, Uncle!

Madanan,

did they give you any money?

You brought that uncle called Chindan, right?

Why didn't you ask him?

Why are you silent?

Did I know that it was such a big trap?

Aunty sold them when there was no money left for expenses.

If we have to buy chicks, we need money, Alice.

What will we do for that?

You secured 1,200 votes for the Party, right?

Won't the Party help you?

Uncle Chindan took everything that the Party gave, right?

That Uncle Chindan is the one who brought all these problems to this house.

He sold you off like he was selling a buffalo!

You need to find out how much he was paid.

And you must demand your share from him.

Shankaretta!

Oh, it's Madanan!

How could you scream seeing this beautiful face?

Come, Madanan. He is our lucky charm!

Come.

Have some jackfruit seeds, Madanan.

They are roasted.

Catching Chindan is not a problem.

But there are expenses involved.

Something like an offering.

I don't have any money.

You guys know my situation, right?

From the money we'd get after catching Chindan,

you can take how much ever you want.

You can give me the rest.

That's a deal!

- Subhadra! - Yes.

Could you please oil the gun?

Okay, Chetta.

[indistinct chatter]

Hey!

Where's the buffalo contractor Chindan?

Who is Chindan to you?

He is my uncle.

Don't say this to anyone else. Okay?

He sold a buffalo without informing his boss.

And his boss' men are beating him to pulp over there.

Go ahead!

Go and get some!

You have been fooling everyone for a while now.

I will smash you! What? Should I let you go?

Hey! Who are you?

That's an issue between uncle and nephew! Move aside!

How much money did you take from the Party? Tell me quickly!

Just Rs. 10,000.

How can we divide 10,000 among three people?

I will hit you!

I swear on God! I swear on my Mom!

I got only One Lakh Rupees.

From that, I gave the entire amount of 7000 Rupees to your aunty!

And the rest?

I spent the rest on my daughter's wedding.

You could have at least invited us for the wedding, you dog!

You could have at least invited us for the wedding, you dog!

Please don't kill me, dear!

It's true that I tricked you.

I got only Rs. 1 Lakh, right?

For all the hard work all of us did, is one lakh enough?

Is it enough?

The one who really benefited from this, was Nishad Purushan, right?

Shouldn't you be going after him then?

Right?

I don't think we'll be paid for this.

It's better if we leave it!

Come on then. Let's go and meet Nishad Purushan.

Well Madanan, the contract for the amount we agreed on, has ended here.

Don't worry, Madanan. You can pay us when you get the money.

It's not advisable to lock horns with the Party.

So, Nuclear plant it is!

We will give people whatever they need, right?

A small nuclear plant in every house, right?

- Yes, yes. - Carry on, then.

Well, how much will this nuclear plant cost?

Around 250-300 crores.

Madanan!

The situation at home is really bad, sir.

I lost my job.

Don't you know that, sir?

Please help me with some money to start a new chicken business.

I will return it.

I became like this...

for you and the Party, right?

Sit down, Madanan.

Sit down, Madanan.

Have some juice, Madanan.

Our boys have informed me that...

Uncle Chindan was paid the promised amount from the party fund.

If you keep visiting the Party office repeatedly...

for a business that has already been settled,

what will our boys think?

Won't they think that I cheated you?

Will they tolerate it?

Won't they chop you to pieces when you travel alone at night?

So, before coming to the Party office to have juice,

think twice!

That's what I am saying.

I am saying this so that you won't die a dog's death!

Okay? Understood?

Happy Navarathri!

There's one more thing, Sir.

Disputes have already begun in National Congress Party regarding the candidate...

to replace the deceased Raghavan Nambiar.

[chanting mantras]

[phone rings]

Didn't I tell you earlier not to place the phone for Pooja?

It's our main tool, right?

What do we do now?

You do this.

Answer the call without looking at the screen.

Don't look!

Hello!

Don't go, Dad.

Don't go.

Alice.

Yes, Madanetta.

Our daughter called me 'Dad' again!

Huh?

I swear!

The peas are for tomorrow, not for today, right?

Yes.

I will be in that room.

Don't go to sleep.

I'll go check and come back.

Namboothiris?

Why are you here at this odd hour?

There are no odd hours for contract jobs, Madanan!

Life is full of odd hours, right?

Come.

Sit.

Do you know Raghavan Nambiar?

He was a minister who worked very hard for the Party.

He was a minister who even went to jail for the Party.

Right, Chetta?

So, this Raghavan Nambiar has transcended to the great beyond.

You didn't get it?

He joined another party, right?

He's dead! "Transcended to the great beyond"

Oh!

So now, there's a vacancy of a seat in Kasaragod district.

When a seat becomes free, a by-election will happen, right?

Yes.

And when a by-election happens, Madanan Manjakkaran will contest, right?

When that happens, won't we have to grab you, Madanan?

We have undertaken the contract of Manjakkaran this time.

Please cooperate, Madanan.

Well, Sister.

Please pack all the essentials for Madanan.

Hey Madanan!

Madanan!

You guys won't allow me to live in peace?

Just because you have a gun,

you think you can torture innocent people?

I will kick you, Namboothiris!

Leave them, Madanetta!

That's enough!

Don't kill them, Dad!

Can I get a glass of water, Sister?

Bring it in a large bottle!

The way you hit them now?

Had you done this earlier, we wouldn't be in this situation now!

Then you tell us, Sister. What should we do?

Sister, we have to keep Madanan outside Kerala for three months.

The contract is for 10 lakh Rupees.

If we divide that between the three of us,

each of us will get Rs. 3,33,333.

We will adjust the balance of One Rupee somehow.

And that way, all our debts can be cleared.

After that, this Achuthan Namboothiri and Shankaran Namboothiri won't come this way.

I swear!

Right, Chetta?

I swear on Subhadra!

You're trying to make money out of him because he is a naive person, right?

He lost his money and his job!

He lost the chicks and his house!

He lost everything!

We got the guy, Sir.

Bravo, boys!

So, how about the money?

We will pay the money after seeing Madanan in person.

Sir needs to confirm that it is Madanan indeed.

What if Madanan pokes his head in between?

The contract you gave us was to keep him away for 3 months, right?

No.

But that was the contract we accepted.

Then, we will pay the money once you keep him away.

He wants us to go there and meet him.

That's an issue.

What more can happen?

Start your vehicle, Namboothiris!

Stop the vehicle.

It's Uncle Chindan.

- Hello. - Madanan, my son!

Uncle Chindan has a deal that will solve all your problems this time.

There's a rumor that Madanan Manjakkaran may contest in the upcoming by-election.

Where are you now, Uncle?

Hello?

Hello, hello, hello?

Hello?

Looks like the contract might change, brother.

We're becoming irrelevant in the story!

I am in the cabin of the upcoming minister.

And let me tell you this.

You don't have to rush here like last time.

I will call you after I arrange everything.

Come here only then.

Okay.

Didn't I tell you earlier...

that he will listen to me?

I gave Rs. 50,000 to his aunty.

We won't settle for a meagre amount this time.

We want a hefty amount.

Hefty means?

If you want him to be a candidate, you should give a hefty amount.

Can you reduce its heft a little bit?

Do you want him to be a candidate?

Then it should be hefty!

I'll bring him here only if you do that.

Oh no!

How dare you bargain with the Party!

We're tolerating low-lives like you only because...

the central committee has instructed us to mingle with the public!

So, you don't have to mess with the Party!

- Understood? - Yes.

Don't do it! Don't kill me! I beg you!

Renegade!

Hello?

Operation Madanolsavam!

Start the vehicle!

Come! Start the vehicle!

Hello?

Yes, okay.

Yes, I've entered Kulathoor road.

They have started from here.

Chetta!

Catch him!

Madanan!

Hey!

Shucks!

Chetta, Chechi is calling.

- Hello. - Chetta.

You've forgotten to take the bullets kept for puja!

Aargh!

What is it, Chetta?

Bullets!

Where are you taking me?

Shut up!

Hey dude!

Did you see a van passing by?

Get lost! What a dumb question!

Hey! We will come back for you!

Is it my job to watch vehicles? Get lost!

You're lucky that I don't have bullets!

Come on! Shoot me, if you can!

What is it, Madanan?

Did you forget our Party?

How can I forget it, Warrior?

I just felt sceptical when Uncle Chindan called.

You should have called me directly.

Why did you have to waste so much money on those fireworks?

Stop, stop!

Shucks!

Tell me, Warrior.

I will do as you say.

I will contest in the election.

And I will hide somewhere until the results are announced.

But this time,

I want 10 Lakh Rupees.

Though I am selling myself,

I should get a decent price for it, right?

10 Lakh Rupees?

10 Lakh Rupees, it seems!

Have you gone crazy?

Do you have a perception about yourself, Madanan?

You are just blabbering something!

10 Lakh Rupees, it seems!

Once you win, will you even look at me?

No, right?

The power that you get when you win,

and the money you can plunder!

Can't you give me at least a small part of it?

My name holds some value after all!

Right?

I will sign wherever you want me to.

And after that, I will hide somewhere until the election gets over.

Rs. 10 Lakhs.

Is that even a big amount for you guys?

Start the vehicle!

Chindan?

He is really something!

Yeah!

Stop the vehicle!

What was all that?

What? What did we do?

What is this?

Whose contract is this for?

This is not anybody's contract.

The Party paid this to me for contesting in the election.

Then what about our contract?

Manjakkaran's contract?

Bombing the Party office was for nothing, Chetta!

Police will come any minute.

That's not a problem, brother.

Nowadays, Police won't catch people who bomb the Party office.

- Well, Madanan... - Yes.

So now, you don't need the share from our contract, right?

You got a million in one stroke!

I want that...

and this too!

Start the vehicle.

Hello.

You are so greedy, Madanan!

Namboothiris,

If something untoward happens at Manjakkaran's house,

one of us should flee with this money and go directly to Kochi colony.

We will split the money over there.

I'm the one with the family, right? I will keep it.

Good evening Namboothiris!

Mr. Madanan Mallakkara.

Welcome!

Sit down, Madanan.

Sit.

You can sit.

Sir will come now.

Hi, Sir.

You are meeting for the first time, right?

Sir, this is Madanan Mallakkara.

This is Madanan Manjakkaran.

So, you've seen him, right?

So, how about the money? Right, Chetta?

- Ouseph! - Yes.

Make the offering to the Namboothiris.

Rs. 10,00,001.

Sir, the contract was only to show him, not to beat him up.

Oh my God!

4 Crores,

4 months of sleep,

and my peace of mind!

I lost all this because of you!

The Party members trapped him, Sir.

He didn't do it deliberately.

He is apolitical, Sir!

Don't you need some politics in life, my dear boy?

Don't you want to know what's happening around you?

I have my own politics, Sir.

That's exactly why I'm going to contest in the next election.

If Madanan dies,

Manjakkaran will be deemed the killer.

Then you won't even get as many votes as you did in the previous election.

Shouldn't you have at least that much political awareness, Sir?

25 Lakhs.

That's my price!

Rs. 25 Lakhs?

Be practical, man!

He and his dumb idea!

Madanan's words are not valid here, Sir.

Frankly, he doesn't even have a voice here.

The money that you're planning to give me,

will be given to me by the Party if I become a dummy candidate.

Forget about me.

With all this power that you have,

you should be giving me at least 25 Lakhs, right?

Right?

Madanan!

Alice has filed a complaint at the police station.

- Sir! - What is it?

His wife has filed a man missing complaint at the police station.

Don't you know that I don't care about the police, my dear boy?

- I know that, Sir. - Then what?

But if this gets leaked, all our plans will go for a toss.

We'll be in trouble.

We will pay you.

But only after the election.

Madanan will be under our custody till then.

'Our' means ours, right?

Yes, your custody.

Our custody!

You should pay up immediately.

You should allow me to go home, as well.

I won't contest in the election.

Why are you talking like this, Madanan?

If everything gets settled here, what's the need for a contract?

We should keep him in custody, Sir.

Or else, the Party will easily make him a candidate.

That will be a disgrace for us!

I won't come alone.

I will bring my family along with me.

That's fine.

Right, Sir? Family is paramount, right?

So, we will guarantee the rest.

So, the contract is on!

- Ouseph. - Yes.

Send our boys along with them.

If they do any funny business,

torch their families!

Yes, Sir.

Ask our boys from Mangalore to come with their weapons.

Keep an eye on the house of these Namboothiris as well.

That's not required. We've already shifted them!

Hey!

Please give us some bullets to load in this gun, Sir.

I kept them for Pooja and forgot to bring them.

You're playing a goon without bullets?

The vehicle that we arranged will be here in half an hour.

Go and bring your family quickly.

Okay.

Madanan, wait!

Adding ten and twenty five...

There's Rs. 35 Lakh in that cover.

Don't escape with the money and your family!

You don't trust me, right?

Well, it's not about trust.

We need to be sure that you will return, right?

So...

leave one of your slippers here and go!

Okay.

Okay.

Our daughter...

[sounds from Talking Tom toy]

Suneer.

Hey, Warrior Madanan!

Where were you?

Should you be going after chicks instead of playing with your daughter?

We have to leave, right?

Come, let's go.

Are you leaving, Dad?

Dad has work to do, dear.

You go and play with your Mom, okay?

Let me calm them down.

After that, we can go wherever you want.

Okay?

Come.

Five minutes.

I'll be right back.

Five minutes.

Hello, Warrior!

Yes, yes.

The candidate is under our custody.

Hey!

Don't let them catch Madanan! Lock the door!

Sir,

it's better that we go absconding from here.

Did I do all this and spend so much money to go absconding?

We must catch him!

The Party and its workers will take care of Madanan.

Why should we intervene unnecessarily...

So...

I'll be screwed in this election too.

Come, come!

Come!

Give it!

[After a while, in a village in Karnataka]

["Bella Ciao" plays as ringtone]

Shankaretta!

Shankaretta!

There's a call for you.

Won't you even let me take a dump in peace, Subhadra?

Haven't you told me that each call will have a contract?

Will you make me pick up the gun again?

Get lost!

- Hello? - Election fund?

We don't take up such contracts now, bro.

My brother doesn't like it.

He's only used to receiving money from politicians.

He won't give them any money.

The candidate can come and meet him. I'll talk to my brother.

Okay.

Hey, make it quick!

Madanan!

I got a call asking if we can send 25 loads to Kerala on the 15th.

How can we send it on 15th?

The chicken have to gain weight, right?

Tell them that we can send it on 25th.

By the way, Madanan...

Since the elections are coming close, party workers are out to collect funds.

All of them want to meet Madanan sir.

Tell them that I'm out of station.

Madanan...

The local legislative candidate is coming to meet you.

We have around 200 workers, right?

He will need all their votes, right?

Come.

- Did you have juice? - Yes, I did.

Look, it's Uncle Madanan!
