'Spirit'.
Spirit.
Raghunandan named his first
English novel as 'Spirit'.
He is using an old typewriter to type his novel.
Earlier he used to work as a banker abroad.
He is a journalist.
He has directed documentaries and is a versatile personality.
He could only write when he is drunk.
He couldn't lead a normal life without the help of alcohol.
His life was dependent on alcohol.
He can't complete this novel.
Because only his death can complete this novel.
That's his life's story.
In other words, he will be the words in his novel.
Raghunandan loves O.V Vijayan, Bob Marley
Marquez, Maradona
Santhanam from Maharajapuram and Kunjunni so dearly.
But he loves himself more than anything.
A miserable narcissist.
Last night, he was drunk.
He is drinking today morning to get over his hangover.
Yesterday was his wedding anniversary.
Happy anniversary. - Happy anniversary.
But, it was a usual day for him.
Because he got divorced from his wife, Meera
seven years ago.
Meera is currently married
to Alexi Thadeouse.
Raghu's son Aditya
from his first wedding with Meera lives with them.
The cake is ready.
Did he fell asleep?
He was busy playing all day. He must be tired.
So sad.
He loves sugar plum cake.
It's been really long since I have baked a cake.
Did you bake this cake for me?
Are you making fun of me?
Sorry, I didn't get you.- I thought you are making fun of me.
Today is my first marriage's anniversary.
Meera, do you think I will do that?
I didn't even think about it.
I was just joking.
I want to have wine along with the cake.
Let me celebrate.
'Alcohol consumption is injurious to heath.'
Last night
his fate was
to drink through the night. "You have come."
"The Don is back with a bang."
Johnson. - Sir.
Are you married?
Yes.
I have two kids. "I'm the king."
Did you ever felt like having a divorce?
No.
I am not asking whether you did it.
Have you ever thought about it?
No. What is it, sir?
You need to be lucky for that.
Johnson.
Please pack one bottle of vodka for me.
Is it necessary, sir? - Why?
Why do you want to buy it daily?
It's very costly.
Will you be satisfied with two drinks?
It's not enough. "I'm also there for you."
Don't bother about the price.
We are spoiling our liver, which is priceless.
It doesn't matter. Get me one bottle.
I'm going to celebrate this night, and I have a reason for that.
"I'm your true lover."
Actually, I should celebrate the day
when I got separated from Raghu.
I should celebrate the anniversary of my liberation.
I have always respected his intelligence.
I am nothing in front of him.
I am a typical businessman from Kolenchery.
It's true that he is intelligent.
But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't have a married life.
He was arrogant and an alcoholic!
He was short-tempered and impatient before the divorce.
He used to make fun of everything.
He didn't love or respect anyone for that matter.
He has been writing an English novel for quite a long time.
He makes fun of other Indian writers, who write in English.
Arundhati Roy and Aravind Adiga are trash.
Vikas Swaroop is not up to the mark.
V. S Naipaul is an average writer in his opinion.
Well. I will tell you something. - Okay.
He is a rare breed.
He is going to have a drink
with Captain Krishnan Kartha, who was a sailor.
'Smoking is injurious to heath.'
I went to Casa Rosa today.
My old friend from Maharashtra is staying there with his wife.
They have told me that you don't visit them anymore.
I have been there.
When was it?
I went there three weeks back.
I heard that you created a scene last time.
They didn't tell me.
I don't care even if they told you.
Someone started asking questions while I was drinking.
He wanted to know how can I be so friendly with my ex-wife
and her new husband.
I don't know what's wrong with him.
I hurled abuses and thrashed him.
What do they think about themselves?
Divorce is not a sin.
It's a solution. - Really?
It's like solving a mystery
which doesn't have a proper solution.
Love, marriage and divorce.
We have only one life to experience everything.
Memories are more beautiful than moments.
Do you know that, Captain?
I spoiled your mood.
No, never.
I am the one who creates problems in other's lives. No!
Damn.
- Take it easy.
I'm sorry.
It's all right. Leave it.
Damn. I'm sorry.
Damn.
Park the car. - Okay, sir.
Good morning, sir.
Johnson.
Sir, wait for a minute.
Niyas. - Yes.
It's his regular seat, right?
If you don't mind, would you mind sitting on the chair?
No problem.
Leave it. I will get it for you. - It's all right.
Thank you, sir.
Hello, sir. - Johnson.
I want vodka with water.
" The Sunshine." - Oh, I forgot.
Today, you have to host your show, right?
"Makes me happy."
The customers want to see your show when it's telecasted.
The show hosted by a drunkard
should be seen while you're getting drunk.
Oh.
Hello. Is this NDTV?
I'm Raghunandan. Connect me to Ramachandran.
Please connect the call to Ramachandran in the news desk.
His phone is switched off.
She has a weird accent. I know her. She is from Bharananganam.
Just stir it.
Ramu, did you send the photos?
Did you forget? Minister Muralikrishnan's photos. Send it.
How is Delhi?
How are your fat girls?
Don't give anyone my regards.
That was NDTV news producer Ramachandran. Smart guy.
He fancies fat women.
I can hear you. Tell me. Okay.
He is on another call. I'll have him call you. Okay.
I have told them. What?
No. The cabinet meeting has been postponed until tomorrow. Yes.
I'm going to News TV studio. Yes.
What's the name of the programme?
'Show the spirit' with Raghunandan.
I know. I also watch the show. Okay.
I'll come to the guest house after that. Come there. Okay.
Mr. Madhavan. - Yes.
Everyone has a bad opinion about 'Show the Spirit'.
Everyone who has gone there says the same.
He grills people so much.
His questions make anyone look bad.
If you don't go for the show, it's like inviting trouble.
He'll air a special episode saying you are scared.
Shit! It's a live telecast.
What do I do to get back at him?
He's a senseless guy
and a drunkard too.
Someone told me.
His family is in ruins.
He is divorced. He has a child.
You can use that. - Okay.
I'll use that if I get a chance.
That would do. - Okay. - He will lose his confidence.
We'll watch this programme. I watch it regularly.
I'm a regular viewer of 'Junior Gandharvan' too.
No. No one with half a brain would watch a reality show.
I was talking about 'Show D Spirit'.
I watch every episode without fail.
Raghunandan is brilliant.
He is our neighbour.
He lives right across the street.
He is a real genius.
He knows five languages including French, Spanish, and German.
He is currently writing a novel in English.
That's true.
But the ladies of our society call him lotus.
Why? - A lotus is submerged in water.
He is always drunk!
That is just a gossip.
One should learn to respect talent.
We don't know how to do that.
I wonder who is Raghu's guest today.
'Show D Spirit.'
Minister Muralikrishnan.
Do you know who it is? - Who? It's Mr. Raghunandan.
He is a drunkard. - Why do you say that about him?
I didn't say anything bad about him.
If we drink, it's a crime.
When a rich guy drinks, it's part of their lifestyle.
They get drunk and act. We get drunk to live.
Correct. Have one more drink.
The minister is waiting. - Tell him that I'm coming.
What is this? Learn how to wear it.
Get me one more drink.
'Show D Spirit.'
You are welcome to the 'Show D Spirit'.
I welcome today's guest.
The honourable Tourism Minister, Mr. Muralikrishnan
and master of the show, Mr. Raghunandan.
Muralikrishnan. - Yes.
You are a devotee of Lord Guruvayurappan.
You visit the temple on the first of every month.
You perform the ceremonies and receive your blessings.
Right? - Yes.
Lord Krishna is the most romantic of all Gods. - Yes.
I heard that you are also romantic. - Yes.
You were a star in college politics.
From the famous left wing Maharaja's college in Cochin
when you were elected as art club secretary in the union election
your organisation had you as their only win. Individuality!
So that was the trump card!
You're a multi-talented person. - Yes.
You had a lot of girlfriends like Lord Krishna.
If your wife is watching this, let her enjoy this little joke.
Sure. The name of your show is 'Show D Spirit'.
She will take it in the right spirit.
That is the secret to my success. - Good.
You used the word 'success'. - Yes.
If I quote you. - Yes.
What did you mean by that?
You became an MLA in the first try.
Now you are a minister.
And that to the Tourism Minister.
You achieved these positions.
Is that what you meant when you said success.
No. Not like that.
As a public servant
like you said, I started out in college politics
and now, I'm here sitting with you.
The discipline I kept during all those times.
That is what I meant by success, as an individual.
Okay.
During your career journey, your designations
where the key to your success.
Right? - Yes.
Congratulations, Mr. Muralikrishnan. - Thank you.
The ferocity of an animal.
The bravery of an abnormal person.
The courage to trample your people.
Even if the war zone is trampled, the confidence in the group
to win the war and support him.
The ability to bargain.
The ability to buy anything.
To protect it by hook or crook.
You are a winner if you've fought people with these qualities.
For you, the sky is the limit!
Congratulations once again, Mr. Muralikrishnan.
I didn't think so much of you.
Your smile is sweet, but I know that
your words are right on target.
Let's get to the questions. Shall we?
For sure.
The media in Kerala brings us
news of male chauvinism every day. - Yes.
Women are considered as sex toys now.
In public places, dark alleys,
even in their homes, women are not safe.
She is being hunted regardless of her age.
The culture of Kerala.
Kerala and its culture have become a bad thing.
Rape is amongst the biggest social problems in Kerala
and it is being repeated everywhere.
Alcoholism is a major factor in this.
Men who drink have their families shattered.
Many couples end up getting divorced.
That is a social problem.
I'm not sure if you are married. Are you?
I was married. I got divorced seven years ago.
I've been drinking for the last seven years.
Is that why your marriage failed?
I'm sorry. I shouldn't be asking you questions. But..
You can ask me anything.
'Show D Spirit' is an open chat show between two people.
I and my ex-wife Meera didn't see eye to eye in a lot of things.
That's her name.
When we couldn't live together anymore
we decided to get separated.
She leads a happy life with someone else now.
They are my best friends in the world.
'Alexi, Meera. Hope you are watching the show.'
May I ask the next question? - Sure.
Our society has seen a rise in sexual desire
and the use of drugs.
Or to save our mothers, sisters, and daughters
from their deviant eyes
why can't you open some brothels
under government control? - He has a point.
Mr. Raghunandan, because of thieves
should we leave our doors open at night?
Thieves are people too. They need to survive.
What you said reminds me of something like this.
Listen.
Our motherland has a great culture.
In some cities in India
brothels do run with the permission of the government.
There are historical reasons for that.
We can't make it a law just because of these reasons.
It is against our values. It's anti-social.
It is a great topic for debate.
We'll discuss it in detail later.
Personally, you're against brothels? - Yes.
The women working in brothels should be rehabilitated.
My government is committed to doing that.
Their lives are horrible.
Have you visited any brothels
to know how horrible their lives are?
Never.
Why should I believe you Mr. Muralikrishnan?
You should believe the truth without any prejudice.
That is true journalism.
Thank you for that piece of advice.
You visited Macau Island last March. - Yes.
You must travel to such places as the Tourism Minister.
There's a lot to explore. We must see a lot.
Your predecessors too have done journeys like this.
What?
I'm not asking you
why you visited San Pedro brothel in Macau.
Everybody visit there, not for food and sleep,
but to have a good time with some promiscuous girls.
Lie! You're lying through your teeth!
What about these photographs?
This.. - Fake!
Even kindergarten kids
can do morphing these days.
Do you want more proof?
Do you want to ask?
I'm ready to reply.
Answer him.
No, I can't stand this insult anymore.
You've humiliated me.
It's a conspiracy.
This programme, for insulting public figures is..
I'm sorry, let me go.
The audience know that the programme
always ends in a fight
or will end halfway.
We don't follow up the matter.
We just wanted to show the fear and anxiety
they hide behind their tensed face.
We will find you from places you thought were safe havens
and places that are seas apart and from remote islands
and we will continue our sting operation.
I'm Raghunandan signing off from 'Show D Spirit'. Goodnight.
Hey, Binoy. - Yes.
Get me some water. - Yes.
How much have you slept?
Wake up, Dad. Do you know the time?
No.
Watch out!
Get up, Sunny!
Hey, Sunny. Naughty Sunny.
Hello, Alexi. - Hi, sir. How was your stay? - Very peaceful.
Really nice place!
It's a nice place. We feel at home!
This is not a resort. It's my home. - Very good.
Is he your son? - Yes.
Hi, young man. What's your name?
He's dumb and deaf too. - I'm sorry. - It's all right.
My name is Aditya.
My pet name is Sunny.
Good. - Hi, Sunny.
Hi, Raghu. - How's Sunny? - He's fine.
He's here. What happened?
Nothing. - Raghu.
Raghu.
Are you coming according to your sweet will?
How long should I wait for a coffee?
You asked me not to come before 9 a.m., so.. - Get me a coffee.
He's highly educated.
But don't know how to light a stove.
Not that he doesn't know. He's scared.
He acts as if he's lighting a firecracker.
He thinks it will explode.
What's the use of education and money
if he can't boil a glass of water when he's thirsty, he's useless.
'Travel with a storm, Caspian Sea is home to a very famous shore.'
Should I clean the house, it's dirty? - Not today. You can go.
Are there any clothes to wash?
No. Nothing. You may go.
'People from all over the world come to the show..'
'But, then getting the real composure..'
'It could be helpful for the business and help the firms..'
'Seriously, we need to go and head out to the firms.'
Every time I ask him about cleaning the house, he replies the same way.
Not today. Some other day.
What kind of a man is he?
He is paying me on time.
I'm on my way.
Here's Mani, mister.
Hey, Mani.
Oh, my God.
Hey, come here.
Is that you, mister?
I didn't see you. How are you?
What should I say?
I'm not feeling well.
Didn't you consult someone?
Yes, of course.
Yes, I showed it to a few on the road.
Now, I'm feeling better.
I have work. Let me go.
Buy me a bottle of liquor.
I'm broke.
Do you get credit here?
I didn't come to buy liquor. I came looking for someone.
But, he's not here. Let me go.
So, you've grown enough to play tricks with me, Mani.
You won't prosper in life, idiot.
What you sow, so shall you reap.
How will I buy some liquor?
Pankajam.
Hey, Pankajam!
Come here.
Pankajam. - What happened?
Come here!
How will I eat food, if you work for others? - People are listening.
It's there. - I've told you many times not to repeat it.
I've kept it there.
I'll kill you.
Please listen to me. - Don't talk.
I'll teach you the rest at home!
Hey, Mani. - Who is it?
I'm calling you only.
Come here.
- Yes.
You scoundrel! Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
Will a man beat his wife publicly?
You're doing it because you know she won't hit you back.
Are you drunk?
I'm asking you.
If I see you here again, drunk,
I'll throw you and your bike into the drainage.
Idiot! Understood, rascal? - Yes.
Solve your family issues within your family.
Don't bring it out on to the streets.
Get out of my home!
What happened?
He's drunk from morning itself.
He's such a nuisance. - Yes.
You have to spend a lot of time for yoga.
Then why you want to take up this advance course now?
This is not just yoga.
This auspicious yoga is.. - Enough.
Do you realise how old we are now?
Our grandchild is now engaged.
Do you think we need to do all this now?
Why don't we just leave it all to God now?
It's just a matter of four days.
The food is kept in the refrigerator.
Ask Pankajam to heat the food.
I can do it on my own.
It's not just about food.
I'll call you once I've reached.
Okay. You may leave now.
The flight to Bangalore is on time. - Okay.
Our daughter will pick you up. - Okay. - Yes.
I'm going to the airport. I'll call you later.
Bye.
"I'm going to smoke ganja until I go blind."
"You know I smoke ganja all the time." - Hey.
Captain.
Buddy, my wife won't be at home for a while!
So, let us celebrate big boy!
Get me liberated, wild boy!
Okay. We should get drunk during the day. Do you get me?
You're the boss. By the way, there is a case.
It's totally fine.
If it's in the district court, it's not an issue.
Three advocates whom I know do that.
They get drunk before going to the court.
I won't reveal their names even if you ask me to.
I won't say it. - That's not what I meant.
Chicks.
Initially, you said case, and now you're saying girl.
Decide between the two. - Damn!
I don't know how to explain it.
The thing is, a woman
has said that she'll drop in sometime soon. - Okay.
Now I get you! Say things clearly!
Do you have protection with you?
Why would I need it if we're just talking?
Where are you even from! - I'm from Pathanamthitta!
Stop being sarcastic. It's better to buy one or two just to be safe.
After all, we're men who'd succumb to circumstances!
Let's head straight to Koshy's Bar.
I want to have three drinks fixed by Johnson. Maybe not.
Shall we? - Yes. - Come.
Yes!
What?
We can't approach Raghunandan directly as he is a moron.
He'll let the whole world know about it.
We are here to see Ashraf.
Yes. The channel's CEO, Ashraf Varanchery.
I'll give the phone to Gangadharan. Here.
We have presented the matter to Ashraf.
He hasn't said anything.
He left the room saying he'll be back in a minute.
We'll call you as soon as we leave the place. Okay.
He is coming. - Okay.
I'm sorry. There is a meeting with the investor's post lunch.
I should answer them as they're the ones who invested the money.
I had to get some papers ready for the meeting.
The channel has reached break-even, hasn't it?
No, it's going to take some more time.
If you accept our proposal, you would
certainly get out of your financial problems.
I know, Sreekumar.
But Raghunandan is not a staff of this channel.
He is not receiving any remuneration.
He put one demand before the starting the Show.
Freedom!
Needless to say
that show is the sole reason why the channel still survives.
Just talk to him anyway.
Get us the photos of Muralikrishnan's trip to Macau.
Isn't it part of a journalist's duty to force someone like him
out of the cabinet?
You should ask him about that - Oh, indeed.
A lot of people have failed in their attempts to manipulate him.
Who among you has his eyes set on succeeding him as the minister?
You'll get to know very soon, Ashraf.
We're offering you two crores.
You just have to E-mail us four photographs.
Mr. Gangadharan
The photographs are not channel's property.
I'll talk to Raghu anyway. - That'll do.
We'll be at the guest house.
Call us when you've made your decision. - Okay.
Also, if you accept our offer
we'll make the payment today itself. Okay? - Yes.
Bye. - See you. - Bye.
Raghunandan. - It's me, Ashraf.
Minister Muralikrishnan's political rivals had come here.
Go on.
They've offered Rupees two crores to us
if we accept their proposal.
I guess they want those photographs in return.
The photos of Muralikrishnan's antics in San Pedro.
Yes. - If you get that money now, it'll be a huge relief, right?
Isn't that quite obvious?
We shouldn't do it.
It'd be nothing but political pimping.
If we do it, we'll stoop to his levels.
I told them that you would say this.
Let their morality decide whether they should throw him out
of the cabinet or the party itself.
Okay. You may hang up then.
I'll call you later.
Captain, how is it going? Did she come?
She is just about to.
She only drinks white wine.
Johnson. - Yes. - Parcel a bottle of white sula.
It's ready. - What about the other thing? - All okay.
What's that?
A layer of protection between two layers of skin!
I might need that.
So, buddy, wish me luck! - Okay.
One more drink. One for the road. - No, I might fall asleep!
Thank you. - Johnson. - Yes.
Wish him luck! - What's so special, sir?
He is going to one hell of an expedition! - You!
All the best! - What?
Oh, no!
Raghu, did you promise Sunny that you'd bring him a gift?
He's giving me a hard time.
Yes. Yes.
What was it again? I forgot.
Please remind me.
I know what it is, but I won't tell you.
This memory loss is the after effect of your excessive drinking.
Meera. Come on.
Just tell me what it is.
It's a silly toy.
It isn't silly for him.
It might mean a lot to him.
When you remember the promise you made, buy it and come here.
Guest room number five. - Hello, Raghu.
Buddy.. Please ask Sunny
what he had asked me to get for him.
Meera won't say it, and I can't ask him either.
Don't worry. I'll manage it.
How can you? He is stubborn just like his mum!
He might not say it.
Leave it.
If I ask him something
he would say otherwise, wouldn't he?
You are clever!
Thanks pal! Thanks.
Staying here.. - I like seafood.. - Jeff. - Kerala.. - Oh, yes.
I've heard about that. - And the service has been excellent there.
Yes, the seashore is. - We'd such a good time.
It's a nice place to stay at. So, yes.
'Did you ask dad to get you'
'a toy? A train?'
'No.'
'Oh.. Sunglasses?'
'Oh.. No.'
'A jacket? - No.'
'You're lying.'
'No. I asked him to get me a kite.'
'No. You're lying.'
'No.. I asked him to get me a kite.'
Raghu. - Places like.. - It's a kite.
What he needs is a kite.
Raghu. - Who?
Raghu. - Oh.
"What is senselessness?"
"How would the wise.."
Hey, Raghu! What is this?
It's a kite? - What? - Kite. It's for Sunny.
Hi. - Hi.
Mohan. - Hi, Mohan. I'm Raghunandan.
I'm a huge fan of your show. - Okay.
What do you do for a living?
I was in Malaysia. - Okay.
We're now planning a hotel project in Lakshadweep.
Do all Catholics plan to run their business in Lakshadweep, too?
You people have it everywhere else.
He is not a Catholic
but a Nair from Changanassery. - I see.
It's Perunnai to be more precise.
I said Catholic and not Catholic.
It's a nickname for the new generation businessmen who
are ruthless when it comes to business.
People of all religions and castes could be labelled in it!
Why are you standing outside?
No smoking inside the house, Meera's rule! - Okay.
You finish it and come. I'll see you.
He didn't remarry, did he? - No.
He is living on his own.
He doesn't have any relatives as well. - I see.
He had lost his parents at a young age.
I see. - His brother was working in the UN.
Okay. - But he passed away last year. - Oh.
But he is quite a genius, isn't he? - No doubt.
"Faded away.." - It's going to be okay. I'd spoken to him. - Yes.
Hello, Raghu. - Hi. - When'll you be free, Sameer?
Not tomorrow.
Okay. - I have to attend a program at Victoria College in Palakkad.
You're here.
I congratulate the two of you.
Cherish it if you want to.
You heard the song, didn't you?
One too many times.
His lyrics and your composing are equally splendid.
Sameer. - Yes? - We can die in peace.
We got good reviews from a cynic. - Your father is the cynic!
Get me a drink. - I shall.
I want to hear you sing it.
Fix me a drink.
Okay. Come. - Okay.
Sunny, my son. Come here.
Here.
Okay?
What? What is it? Just say it, will you?
"The ways of life."
What is it?
There's no use in knowing five foreign languages.
If you don't know how to speak to your son.
Come here.
This conveys everything I have to say to him. Okay?
What is this? - Goodnight.
Goodnight. Can't you just say it?
Go to sleep. Go.
Show me. What is this?
Your gift.
He's a great dad, isn't he?
Yes. - What about me?
No. No.
A good husband? - No.
My bad luck.
Sameer! - Ready!
Here you go, Raghu. - Hello! - What's up?
You know Sameer? He's a poet.
To the attention of all those who have gathered here
if you could stay silent for a while
Raghu will sing a song written by me and composed by Meera.
It's music time. - Hey.
Shall I play the minus track? - Go ahead.
Those who cannot bear it can leave the room.
We are ready, sir. Yes? Everybody? - Yes.
Yes, we are.
Ready? - Yes.
"Let us fly back in time to the days"
"when the earth was younger."
"Let us fly back in time to the days"
"when the earth was younger."
"Let us play in the moonlight"
"before the first words were ever spoken."
"Let us fly back in time to the days"
"when the earth was younger."
"While we live in the rainforest"

"We shall search within me for you"

"On the purest and primitive waters"
"filled with the innocence of the forest."
"We shall hold hands at depths"
"and wear the comforting waters." - Hello. Yes.
"We'll hold hands in depths" - Yes. No.. It's a house party.
"The drizzling rain." Okay. Yes. - Stop it!
I'll call you back. Okay? Okay.
Don't stop. Why postpone it? Talk!
I mean.. It was an international call, you know?
So what? So what?
Didn't I tell everyone? Those who can't bear it may leave.
It was meant for fools like you!
Mr. Raghu, I'm sorry. - This is attitude!
During songs, speeches
and even at funerals
they can't help but speak on the phone.
You can't respect anything!
What would happen if you.. - Raghu.
didn't attend that call? - Leave it man.
Cool. - People like him should never come for such parties.
He should sulk in anticipation of some unknown calls
to facilitate his rapidly changing trade environment
in some hellhole! - Raghu, please! - Shut up!
Some fools just can't live without their phones!
Get lost! Are you coming? Come! - Hey!
Raghu! - Stop! If I stay here, there will be a fight!
I'm going. Fucking evening!
"A moment ago, it seemed it was yesterday."
Take a photo. - Okay.
One more.
Let me see. - Awesome!
Nice, isn't it? - Yes.
"Never took the time to know me."
Hey! There comes a chick!
Start the camera. - Go.
I'll make a move. - I'll capture it.
I told him that day.
Idiot! - Sorry. Sorry.
We got it!
Excuse me. On which floor is the landmark?
Third floor. - Thanks.
Come. - Okay.
Go. Go.
Hey! - Sorry!
Hey! Stop!
Move!
Stop!
Oh, no! Don't hit me!
Get up! - Sorry! Leave me!
Oh, God! Sorry!
Sorry! - Step aside!
Let me go! Leave me!
Oh, no! - Take him!
"This wasn't what I wanted to be. A man in misery."
"Girl, I look back a thousand times."
"You left me. Why did you leave me, baby?"
"Why can't you understand my pain?"
"How can I explain?"
"Girl, I don't know what I'm doing wrong"
"I can't believe your love is gone."
Please.
How about a touch-up, ma'am?
No. Is it necessary?
Please sit. - Thank you. - Okay, ma'am.
So, can I? - Okay. - Okay, ma'am.
I'm at News TV for an interview.
I'll be available on the phone only after an hour. Okay?
I heard that she is too problematic.
She used to abuse and thrash people. - Who?
The DYSP who is our guest in today's show.
She is an ASP. - Yes, but she is not corrupted.
Then, it's okay. - Don't you want one?
No, the program is about to start. - Oh, I forgot.
Ashwathy, are you ready? - Ready. - Okay.
Hello, today's episode of our flagship program
'Show D Spirit' is about to start
with our new guest.
Our today's guest is a special one.
She is beautiful, young and dynamic.
The new face of the police department
Ms. Supriya Raghavan IPS.
Hello, ma'am. - Hello.
Let me welcome Mr. Raghunandan. Master of the show.
Welcome, sir.
Welcome, Ms. Supriya Raghavan. - Thank you.
Born in the cultural capital of Kerala and still unmarried.
You have your parents and two sisters back at home.
The elder one is a teacher and settled in Ernakulam.
The younger one is studying at Kozhikode, NIT. - Yes.
Okay.
Your dad was a police officer, right?
In a way, Yes, he was a constable.
He would be so proud of your achievement.
Congratulations, sir.
Your dad must be watching this show, right? - Yes.
Even though you belong to Thrissur, you don't have that dialect.
What is the reason for it? - I studied at different places.
Yes, I noticed it.
You did your degree at Palakkad and PG at Kozhikode Mercy College.
Did Vimala College deny your admission?
No, I didn't apply for a seat there.
I applied in Mercy College as my friends were there.
The issue of getting separated from your friends.
When we talk about your friends, one of them is Nafeesa.
She is working at Al-Rashid bank in Dubai.
The other one is Sara Ematty.
She is settled at Ayyanthole near the Collectorate. - Yes.
She is a homemaker.
Are you missing those days?
Your interesting dialect.
Can you come fast?
If you walk like this, then we will miss our bus.
We won't go by morningstar bus.
The conductor in that bus is a flirt.
He keeps staring at us.
Do you even remember those good old days?
So, you are an actor too.
You are a good actor. - People used to say that.
Where did you find the details of my friends?
So, you did a background check on me?
That's the speciality of 'Show D Spirit'.
Ma'am your coffee. - Thanks.
To better understand about our guests.
Sir. - We used to collect all possible information about them.
The aim of our show is to portray
the hidden side of your personality to our audience.
The other day in one of the shopping malls
a kid behaved indecently with you
by which I mean he touched you without your permission.
To be precise, in your private part.
I can call him a kid as he is only 15 years old.
You chased that running kid
and using all the training techniques you have mastered
you nabbed that kid and somebody
in that mall had captured that incident
on camera and posted it on the social media.
Are you feeling proud of yourself?
Even if you feel so, I'll only say that it's a shame.
What do you mean?
He is one among those students
who strolls around various malls after changing his uniform
that he brought from his home.
I heard one of your statement
that he is a drug addict.
What type of drug did he use?
We are yet to receive the report from Public Health Lab.
SP tablets.
It's the code name of a Psychiatric drug.
I'm not revealing the name as I'm not supposed to reveal it.
It's a relaxation inducer
prescribed to mentally ill patients who turn violent.
Which Public Health Lab report do you need
to know about the drug which is spread
rapidly among the students of Kerala?
We have figured out a way to tackle this menace.
Okay. What's the plan of action?
To cut the supply of drugs
and to identify the peddlers involved using sniff troops.
We have made a foolproof plan.
I cannot reveal the full details.
'Totally useless.'
It's proven.
Yesterday's incident
was a small reflection of this problem.
It pins how miserably you have failed in your strategy.
I'm no one to tell you.
You are not able to create an effective preventive system.
Cool-Cool, Liquor and Gin-Gini are what our kids are using.
When these intoxicants is not enough for them.
The chemicals that get dissolved in his blood.
It could be a tablet, stamp or even a syringe.
To supply them what they need the supplier group chain
is still there working from safe havens.
When your operation is targeting them.
You keep forgetting one basic thing.
Wherever there is a demand, there would be supply.
There would always be people who are ready to supply to the needy.
If you cut that chain at Ernakulam then it would reach Aluva.
The kids would be ready to buy it for a higher price.
Instead, you cut the demand.
Your strategy must reach the students
who can't make out the difference between good or bad?
Mr. Raghunandan.
To take care of what the children eat or use
is the shared duty of parents and teachers.
That's not the duty of the police force.
That is exactly my question.
Then what is the job of a police officer?
To reach a crime spot?
'Then roaming all around the city to nab the culprit?'
'Your job should be to prevent a crime from happening.' - Damn!
To stop an untoward incident. Are you doing that?
No, you are not doing that. It's impossible for you.
Standing on high alert inside a civic society
your responsibility is to protect us
with proper planning to the best of your ability.
For that, you must be aware of your surroundings.
You should be able to understand the pulse of the society.
You should always be talking in your dialect.
Most importantly, you must be a good human being.
I'm not criticising the entire police force and its wings.
Let this be an inspiration for the officials to change.
Our small conversation. - Sure.
Thank you so much, Supriya Raghavan.
Good night. - Good night.
Apply the brakes carefully.
See the police is here, moron!
Did we jump into trouble?
You stay here. Let me go and check.
Anyways we got caught.
Sir, it's Mr. Raghunandhan from the news channel.
Whoever it is, we have to check, if he is drunk or not. - A car.
You can blow and go. - Sir! - Blow and then leave.
This procedure itself is blowing my mind. I'm drunk.
I was drunk this whole time.
Tell me, what next?
We have to go to a government hospital
to check your blood. - Okay.
While checking my blood, do check my cholesterol level too.
At least, we don't have to check it later.
Let me call Alexi sir. - No need.
I must inform that you have been arrested. - No need.
You can go. Can he go?
He can go. You need to come with us.
Can he drink and walk? - Yes. - You go.
What about my car? - We will bring it.
Don't stamp on my leg. - Sorry.
Yes, we are at the police station.
They took him in. We are standing outside. Yes.
Get down. - What should we do with the vehicle?
We need to bail him out.
They have caught a few more drunkards.
They all look so decent.
See you. Bye.
Are you Mr. Raghunandan? - Some people used to call me so.
That's my name. - I'm a big fan of your show.
I'm your big fan!
That is not a crime. Why are you standing here?
We are the troop members of 'Kamaladalam Kaliyogam'.
Okay.
I'm the secretary. - Okay.
They have arrested our master. - Is Kathakali a crime too?
No, our master has the habit of drinking after the programme.
After that, he is particular about driving the vehicle.
What happened today was that
the police caught him for drunk driving. - Okay.
You can sit inside. - Okay, let's go.
These are the members of Kamaladalam troop. - Hello.
See you.
How was it?
Have a seat there. - I'll sit here.
Sir. - Yes.
Please give my mobile back. - I'll beat the shit out of you.
You okay, if I sit here. - l am totally ashamed. - Yes.
What's the big deal? You can sit.
Were you drunk?
Sir, were you drunk?
If I was sober, police wouldn't have arrested me. I was drunk.
I was talking about your Kathakali attire. - Yes, it was.
Yes, it was green. - I told you.
Raghunandan. Please come inside.
You can go. Don't worry. - Okay.
Let him go. - Shut up.
'We should always watch out for all possible issues.'
'The police must try to make an effective prevention system.'
Advices.
And that too from a media celebrity like you
we must listen to it.
I anticipated the danger.
I had to stop the drunk driver.
He shouldn't put other people's lives at risk.
He shouldn't risk his life.
That's why, you are here.
Is this how we should act, Mr. Raghunandan?
Well.. Okay.
You can leave now.
Alexi called me.
Both Alexi and Meera are my best friends.
But we have never met each other at Casa Rosa.
You may leave now.
Thank you.
But I'm not leaving.
I will leave tomorrow when I'm sober.
I was in search of a police station to sleep for a night.
I have never tried to escape punishment for a crime
by using anyone's recommendation.
Good night, Supriya..
Supriya Raghavan.
Hi, Suresh.
I don't know. I will give it to him.
It's Dr. Suresh. He couldn't reach you on phone. - Give it to me.
Good morning.
Sure.
I'll come. Okay.
You have been hanging around with Dr. Suresh for some time now.
You have frequently been going to the hospital to meet him.
These phone calls. What is it? - Nothing, dear.
Don't worry. - No!
It's nothing, dear.
No, you're hiding something.
Okay. I'm not going to lie to you.
There is a small issue.
After the routine health check-up
Dr. Suresh recommended a biopsy.
We did it without telling you anything.
I will get the report today.
That's why, Dr. Suresh called.
Biopsy?
Alexi, This is not a small matter - Yes, it is.
It's an issue, only if the report is positive.
Dear Meera, as soon as you hear biopsy report
you shouldn't think of cancer.
God will help us.
Don't worry. He'll help us.
If he finds any issue, he will solve it.
I'm shit scared.
Don't worry.
Get ready fast.
We will go together to collect the report.
If the report is negative
I will give you a gift.
What will you give me in return?
Think about it.
Alexi.
Come.
No. I'm not coming.
Okay.
Park it. - Okay, sir.
Okay. - Kapil Dev, Ganguly, Imran Khan.
Johnson. - Yes. - Where is the photo of Bineesh Kodiyeri?
We will put it. - You should. - Okay.
Buddy! How are you?
When did you start coming here?
Tomorrow is the exhibition of his paintings in the Darbar Hall.
Johnson. - Yes. - One more drink.
You should come there.
A News report will be beneficial to me.
You won't sell any paintings just because it's in the newspaper.
You have to fund some pimps for that. "Love you all."
Johnson. - Yes. - One more drink.
We will leave after that.
What's wrong with drinking liquor from this ethnic bar.
I don't have the money. It's on your credit.
Very good. - Yes. - You should beg for your drink.
Only then you will be a true anarchist.
Okay.
"I must confess."
Sameer is not healthy.
"Live life to the fullest."
He got admitted to the hospital for puking blood.
The doctors have advised him not to drink for six months.
He might listen to you.
"Let me live it one more time."
Me?
I have to be good before advising someone else.
Let him drink to his heart's contentment.
He will stop if he wants to.
I don't think he'll survive.
The leader of anti-alcohol movement
died due to liver cirrhosis.
Raghunandan. - Raghu.
It's me. - Tell me.
Where are you?
I'm in a bar. Tell me.
I'm in a hospital.
Alexi is.. - Oh, no! What happened to him?
Is he diagnosed with liver cirrhosis?
Why is everyone talking about death today?
He doesn't drink, right?
I didn't say anything.
What's the matter?
Tell me if he is going to divorce you.
Shit! - I..
Hello.
- ''Let me live it one more time."
Johnson. - Johnson, one more drink.
Hello.
Shall we go? - What happened?
Alexi!
Come on, Alexi. Tell me.
Meera.
It's nothing.
Reach here by 7:30 p.m.
Dress code? You can wear anything. Bye.
Sorry, It was Lakshmi.
What's wrong with your wife?
Okay. You are coming, right?
Okay. You have to be here before 8 o'clock. Bye.
Okay. Pork vindaloo
grilled chicken and you can make whatever you like. - Okay.
Okay. - Dear.
What are you planning?
Is this just because of a biopsy report?
Birthday and anniversary.
You should celebrate when you get a second chance in life.
We have celebrated it with our friends.
Okay. Even if it was bad news
it is easily curable.
Curable, seriously?
Should we call Mr. Raghunandan?
Yes. Or else he will scold you.
If we invite him, he'll create a ruckus.
Someone will open up a situation for that.
I will call him. - Okay.
The first right. See you soon.
Police?
"We don't care about the police!"
Oh really? - Alexi. - Hey, Supriya.
Party.. - Long live, Alexi! - Yes, about.. - Cheers.
Yes. right. - Exactly - Second life.
Are you teaching them Yoga? - Hey.
Hey! - That's not it. - You came.
What was that? - Nothing.
Hey! - Welcome home.
Okay. - Hi!
Congrats, Alexi. - Thank you.
You will long live enough to see a thousand more full moons.
May you live for 100 long years.
Thank you. - Anyway
this is the first party that I am attending
for such a cause.
Good. Good.
She did everything. Don't blame me.
You have to celebrate it.
I'm with Meera.
When Alexi went to get the report
I was worried to death in the car.
Oh, my God!
I prayed from the bottom of my heart.
I called him so that I could relax a bit. - Really?
He was in some bar.. - It was Koshy's Bar. - Okay.
Whatever. He was drunk and just blabbering nonsense.
I was so angry. - You..
Forget it, Raghu. Shall I fix you a drink?
Oh, no! - I won't drink.
The police will catch me for drunk driving.
Good. If everyone thinks the same way, our job is done.
Sure.
That's the burning issue which we face today!
Drunk driving.
Just look around.
Drunk driving resulting in accidents.
Doing illegal acts under the influence of alcohol.
Driving to festival grounds.
Are you serious, ma'am?
We are doing our duty.
Are you the messiah?
Is this some joke?
It's actually an abuse of power.
Power corruption!
The muggers in the dark.. - Please don't mind.
wait to rob the passerby.
Raghu, please! - Nothing to worry. - You, shut up!
That mugger isn't targeting just one person.
He doesn't hold any grudge against them.
He won't show his ego to the victim
with a sarcastic smile. But you did that.
If you are talking about the other day
I did it intentionally. - But, you shouldn't use
your official power to do that.
That's called arrogance! Ms. Supriya Raghavan.
Weren't you educating me the other day
about how the police should do their work?
How to live as a part of the civic society.. - When someone
asks you something, you should not play dirty games with him.
That's because of your superiority complex.
Or you couldn't digest the fact that I'm a woman.
It doesn't matter if you're a woman.
I'm not a chauvinist. - Of course, you are not.
Few morons may have said that.
They might be the only people you know.
I don't care about gender to love or respect someone.
They should be intelligent and sincere.
These are the qualities which I look for.
Understand? - Raghu, have a drink and relax.
I'm not going to say anything. It won't make any difference.
Sorry, Supriya. Come on.
She can drink to her heart's contentment.
Even if you get sloshed
you'll get home safe.
Damn! Give me that!
I will drink as much as I can.
Ask your men to set up a trap for me.
What's the matter, Raghunandan?
Will you be able to help me? - Well.. - Can you do it or not?
Please don't interfere.
Mind your own business.
Don't try to act smart!
Another fucking evening!
Hari, just relax. - It's okay.
Come here.
It's all right.
Don't worry.
It's not him.
He's drunk!.
Good morning! - Good morning!
When did you come? - Just now.
Black coffee with cognac.
What a way to start a day!
You're lucky!
Sorry, I screwed up your party last night.
It's a routine now. Everyone knows about it.
It ended the way exactly it was supposed to end.
Alexi, I didn't do it intentionally.
When I saw Supriya Raghavan at your party
I couldn't control my anger!
Hey! Forget it.
She is a good friend.
Raghu, she's a very genuine person.
Anyway, I spoiled the party.
When I heard that your test result was negative.
Meera wanted to celebrate it.
I messed up the party. Shit.
What party? That's all right.
That was a fake party.
Fake? - Yes.
I and Dr. Suresh cooked up the story
for Meera. To pacify her.
She needed it.
The truth is that, there is a problem.
I'm diagnosed with cancer.
But the survival chance are quite high.
I called my brother and his wife in the US.
They both are oncologists.
I have mailed them the reports.
They told me to get there as fast as I can.
I have decided to go.
If I go there for treatment
I don't have to face the tantrums of my relatives.
Why are you hiding this from Meera?
She should know about it.
Yes. She should know about it.
But, we'll let her know when it's time.
I came here today to tell you something.
I'm not worried about my condition.
I'm confident that I'll sail through this.
But what if fate is against me.
If I die, Meera and Sunny will be alone.
Someone might walk into their life someday.
But I don't think that it will be you.
I don't think Meera can do that.
If she agrees, I will be so happy about it.
Even if she decides to be alone
Sunny needs a father.
No one else can be his father.
No one can fill our shoes.
Raghu, he needs his father.
I'm here only to remind you that.
Amidst your busy life
please take some time out for my son.
Just think that
I'm saying it on his behalf.
Don't feel bad about it.
'Amidst your busy life'
'please take some time out for my son.'
What happened?
Marriage depends on sharing with each other, right?
Yes. Nothing should be hidden.
Then only the relationship will work out.
So, should the husband tell his wife about his disease?
Well.. He should if it can be shared with his wife.
She should be the first one to know about it, sir. - Exactly.
But, there is one thing, too.
She must be brave.
If it were my wife, she would have made a hue and cry here.
She is not that educated. She is from a small village.
She is highly educated. She won't collapse that easily.
We can't be sure of that. Women are..
What? Women have more mental strength than us.
Who are you referring to?
Alexi. - What happened to him?
He has cancer.
He can't.. say that to Meera.
He must have a reason for that.
He must be waiting for the right time.
How is that going to help?
Fix me another drink. I have to go there.
You're already drunk.
Do you have to deal with it now?
Will you go for me? - No.
Johnson, fix me another drink.
Where is Alexi?
He is here. A tour operator has come.
He is in a meeting with him. Should I call him?
It's all right.
The tour operators must be bringing a lot of foreigner clients.
So he's earning well.
It's for a client from the UK.
They want to stay in our farm for one week.
He is using pesticides in the name of organic farming.
He is a true businessman. Be careful.
Shut up! Are you drunk?
That's how it should be.
I'm drunk.
Okay.
Meera.
What happened to your courage?
Alexi thinks that you are a lot fragile.
We can't blame him.
He loves you a lot.
He is genuinely concerned about you. - Yes.
Seven years.
Seven years ago
when you left me for the last time
from our flat in Bandra on that night
after giving me a stern goodbye.
Where did that smartness go?
Why did you change? - I've not changed.
I'm a lot more confident and secure now.
Then Why? Why is he hiding it from you?
You have to know it, Meera?
Let me tell you something.
Let it be any terminal Illness
it doesn't matter if husband or wife has it.
They should fight it out together.
Raghu, are you out of your mind.
What kind of terminal Illness?
Who are you referring to? - Alexi.
He has cancer.
You should know that.
Alexi has.. - Yes.
Yes.
He told me.
He hasn't told you.
He said that, too.
He lied to you so that you don't worry about it.
To make it more appealing he hosted a party.
That's foolishness.
Medical science has advanced a lot, and it's totally curable.
He doesn't have to play around.
Are you serious, Raghu?
Yes. I'm totally serious even though I'm drunk.
Listen.
There is one other thing.
It's foolish to go to America for treatment. - It will be there.
We'll place it there. - For what?
We get the same treatment here and there.
I hate America. - You should personally take care of each guest.
Politically, America is the mother of all stinky things. - Thank you.
It's a shitty place.
Columbus is the one to blamed. You know.
Columbus..
Hey, Alexi. - Yes. - You are here. - Raghu.
I told her everything.
She will be worried only when you tell her.
Since I am an outsider, I can say it.
You shouldn't go to America or any shitty place.
We have access to good hospitals and doctors
who will be able to cure it completely.
Hair loss is the only thing to worry about in Chemotherapy.
We don't have to worry about that, too.
He is already bald.
Alexi.
Did you lie to me?
I will tell you.
I can explain, Meera.
There is no need to worry anymore.
She knows about it now.
Don't forget what I said.
We'll start the treatment here itself.
Even if something happens, it's good to be here.
Thank you, so much.
Let me sort this out.
What's there to talk about?
Tell them to get me a drink.
Will you please leave now, Raghu?
Hey.
That's not emotionally correct.
You should say, 'Just fuck off, man!'
That means get out of here, you asshole!
You go and sort it out with your wife.
Cancer. What is this fucking cancer, man?
Meera.
Why did you do this?
In certain circumstances, somebody else would've to talk on your behalf.
That's all I did.
They might be angry at me.
They will let it go. It's all right even if they don't, Johnson.
The one who went there to talk wasn't you, sir.
I think it was the liquor inside that made you do it.
"You need to help me."
Did you mean that I was just drunk?
Yes. Or else you wouldn't have gone there and said all that.
Think about it, sir.
The liquor is not letting you think straight.
What are you saying, Johnson?
I'm no one to advise you.
To serve the customers in the right manner.
That's my job.
I respect you a lot, sir. That's why, I'm saying this.
I want you to live a lot longer, sir.
Sir, look at Mr. Menon.
I have been seeing him here, for the last 14 years.
He is a regular customer.
He will only have two drinks.
I have never seen him drunk and impaired.
He enjoys his drink. He drinks sensibly.
You're just the opposite of it.
Please stop it for some time.
Fix me another drink.
From morning till night
you are drinking at least 14 drinks a day.
How long are you going to keep this up, sir?
You shouldn't say that I'm an addict or an alcoholic.
I won't surrender to anything.
Nothing can defeat me.
Nothing can control me, either. I'm damn sure about it, Captain.
Raghu.
You have to prove it with your life.
Not for anyone else. But to convince yourself.
Like I advise the plumber Mani
I can't advise you, Raghu.
That will be really embarrassing.
So you will say that I am an alcoholic, Captain.
Even if you don't know
everyone has been saying that for a while now.
It's not because I didn't know about it.
I was trying not to tell you.
You are..
Raghu, you are an alcoholic!
Here.
Mister.
Sameer. - Were are you?
I'm coming.
I heard that you were seriously ill and hospitalised.
Did they let you go or did you escape?
When the level of blood increases
the body will try to reject it.
That's why, I puked blood.
I know that, now. - Listen.
Is it okay for you to drink?
I'll live my life on my terms.
Okay.
I'll only die if a snake bites me.
I'm like Naijam Ali and will die like Ravi.
Shall I get you a drink? - Not now. I'm already drunk.
What is it? - It's nothing.
Oh, God.
Mr. Raghu, I have decided something.
I am done writing the bloody poems.
I'm going to start writing for movies. - Okay.
I've got some good offers from some reputed directors.
The song.. 'From the branches..' Which was composed by Meera.
The poem has been adapted for a movie.
He gave me Rs. 10,000 for it.
Think about it, Mr. Raghu.
Edasseri and Vyloppilli didn't make a fortune.
But they gave me Rs. 16,000 for this piece of shit!
That's how it is.
We won't give money to our wife
as we would pay to a whore.
I have composed a new poem this morning
and gave it to Meera for composing.
She deserves that!
"The seeds that sprout only in the rain"
"are resting in the heart of earth."
Good. That will make a living for you.
You won't have to beg for liquor anymore.
Hey! - What?
Did they discharge you from the hospital? - Yes. - Really?
Dr. Salam after reviewing my liver function test's report
told me that I'm okay.
No doctor will use that kind of language.
Mr. Raghu.
No one has told us to where to die
and we haven't promised anyone that either.
What is it?
Sameer!
Sameer.
Are you all right?
Sameer!
What is it?
No. It's nothing.
I've bleeding in my throat. - What?
Shit! Your throat? Come here.
Hey! - Come on!
When you have excess blood, the body reject it, right?
Sameer! Oh, no!
Sameer! Hey!
Sameer!
Mother!
Sameer!
'When death arrives..' The poem
which Sameer wrote for the last time
was translated to some language by Raghunandan.
"Do sit beside me for a while"
"when it's my time to die."
"For these fingers that have felt the world's horror"
"to rest forever while caressing you."
"To fill the last breath, I draw in"
"to have your scent." - Sameer. - Raghu.
"Do sit beside me for a while"
"when it's my time to die."
"My love, to fill these eyes that need not open again"
"with the sight of your face."
"For these ears that won't hear again"
"to be filled with your voice."
"To fill this brain clouded with knowledge and memories"
"with eternal thoughts of you."
"Do sit beside me for a while"
"when it's my time to die."
"To fill these lips that gave many kisses"
"with your name."
"Oh, love! For my feet that walked into you.." - Fuck off!
"...to turn cold while relishing those old paths."
"Oh, love! For my feet that walked into you.."
"...to turn cold while relishing those old paths."
"That is enough for me to rise as a small plant"
"from the layer of dirt that covers my body."
"Do sit beside me for a while"
"when it's my time to die."
"Do sit beside me for a while"
"when it's my time to die."
"It filled my heart."
"She took my breath away."
"Let the world come after you."
Get lost.
"Let me take you in my.."
Sorry. - No problem.
How are you, Johnson? - I'm fine.
It's been almost a week, right? - Yes.
What would you like to have? - A glass of water.
Thank you.
I'm in Cochin.
I'm here with the master.
Yes. I'll drop him at Thrissur
and reach Palakkad by evening.
Okay. Bye.
Raghu! - Hey.
Where were you?
How did you get in? - Sorry. - Forgive us for intruding.
It was Venu who told us where the keys
would be. - Irresponsible. - Your servant helped us.
What's wrong in that, sir? - What?
Even if you don't get the keys
you can break the door.
No eccentric in Kerala has ever broke open a door.
Do you know why? - Why? - They are not healthy.
That's it. - I see.
We are coming from Sameer's house.
We couldn't tolerate it.
The pain and sorrow of his mother and grandmother.
Death is always strange
in picking out its victims.
I believe it was vicious
and not strange in Sameer's case.
Why was that innocent boy..
The doctors had asked him to completely refrain from drinking.
Didn't he sneak out of the hospital to come here?
I guess that was just a reason. Venu. - Yes.
People would say that he drank to his death. That exasperates me.
I guess.. It was time for him to leave this world.
Don't sound spiritual. That would be boring.
Raghu, shall I make you a drink?
It was bought from a liquor shop run by the government.
It is cheap but strong.
No.
You only drink the branded ones, right?
But all those bottles are empty.
Is it your hobby?
All of those bottles contain my past, Mr. Ravi.
Memories of the bygone days!
Can I make you a drink?
No, Thomachan.
It's not about the brand.
I don't want to drink. - What?
What are you saying?
This day certainly calls for a celebration.
It's just that I have decided not to.
Don't bother to compel me.
You know the way I am, don't you?
He took his last breath lying on this floor..
Mr. Ravi. - Mister, we only get together
when one of us dies.
Who'll be the next one?
When he passed away, none of the politicians
or ministers paid their respects to him.
Morons who know nothing about literature!
Only those who knew what he was all about
would understand what his death really means.
His sense of humour.
He knows what to say at the right time.
Don't you remember that one sentence letter.. - Venu.
...he wrote to the chairman after he was awarded the Academy prize?
Of course.
'I won't repeat it ever again.'
'Please don't bother me with awards!'
Did you quit because you fear that you might suffer his fate?
I didn't say that I've quit.
I have started hating it.
I've become tired of it, Mr. Ravi. - Okay.
Mister, let's get going.
Yes.
I've some errands to run after I have reached Thrissur. - Okay.
Take the bottle.
Okay.
Raghu. - Okay, goodbye. - Okay.
Raghu, I'll call you. - Okay.
Never hate alcohol.
Haven't you read what R.L Stevenson has written?
Wine is..
Bottled poetry.
Wine is bottled poetry.
Oh, shit!
I can't believe my water supply got cut off
right, when I was thinking to quit drinking.
Plumber Mani. Where are you, bastard?
Sir, there is running water in all the other houses of the colony.
That doesn't matter. See what's wrong here.
Did they cut off the water supply since you forgot to pay the bill?
I did pay the bill.
Just check what's wrong. - Okay.
Lord Ayyappan.
Is there no water flowing in any taps?
That's the reason I called you.
Is there no drinking water too? - No!
How is that possible?
Lord Ayyappan.
My day starts with this routine.
This has the double effect of alcohol.
You can sit down. I'll look into it.
Mr. Raghu!
It was a just a small issue.
The valve of the main line needs to be replaced.
I'll get it done by tomorrow or day after.
What's your fees? - Forget it, sir.
Don't you have anything left? - No.
Why don't you sell these empty bottles?
You can leave. - Okay.
Shucks! It stinks!
Sit down.
Where's Alexi? - He has gone out with Sunny.
One of his cousins is going to the US.
A see off party.
Didn't you go? - I was not in a mood to go.
I'm tired. I was in the recording theatre for the whole day.
The day Sameer died, he came to me
with a song to be composed.
"Only the rain can make some seeds"
"to sprout in your heart."
Yes! Have you seen it before? - Yes.
He had told me.
He had recited these two lines to me that day.
I remembered him as well as his poetic lines on my way here.
Are you done with the composing? - Yes.
The recording is also over.
Poor guy. If he were alive today, he would've chided me.
Initially, he would always
point out the mistakes that I've done.
The next day he'll forget everything.
Yes.
Then he'll tell that only I could do it and I'm the best.
So sad.
Can I listen to it?
Sure!
"Only the rain can make some seeds"
"to sprout in your heart." - I'd drink in his remembrance.
Do you want to have one? - No.
You had to keep aside at least a drink
for this night and for Sameer.
I've already had enough
to last for a lifetime.
That's sad. - Play the song.
"Only the rain can make some seeds"
"sprout in your heart."
"Only love can light the lamps"
"which gives life to your soul."
"Only the rain can make some seeds"
"sprout in your heart."
"Only love can light the lamps"
"which gives life to your soul."
"With a thirst for a kiss"
"like a yearning flower."
"With the unsaid words"
"on your lovely lips."
"We just exchanged glances"
"and the silence took over everything."
"Only the rain can make seeds"
"sprout in your heart."
"Only love can light the lamps"
"which gives life to your soul."
"The time just passed by in this seashore"
"by enjoying the feel of the sand."
"Why did I even build a sand sculpture"
"to just depart with grief?"
You should have held on to me for such a lovely night.
Good that I'm not drunk.
Otherwise, I would've molested you tonight.
Good night.
My ex-wife..
Let's meet in our next birth as a couple.
"The time just passed by in this seashore"
"by enjoying the feel of the sand."
"Why did I even build a sand sculpture"
"to just depart with grief?"
"Like the departing sea waves."
"Only the rain can make some seeds"
"sprout in your heart."
"Only love can light the lamps"
"which gives life to your soul."
What is it, Pankajam? - Can I borrow Rs. 500, sir?
What happened? - My husband..
What did he do?
He said that my son took the money kept at home
and hit him hard with a blunt object on his head.
He comes home drunk and keeps his money in random places.
Morning he won't remember where he had kept his money.
Today also, the same thing happened.
By the time my son started crying, he had got his money.
He just left without even bothering about my son.
I think he will have to get a stitch done on the wound.
I came here as I couldn't find help from anyone else.
Can you lend me Rs. 500? - Please get in the car.
No, sir. The car will get dirty with blood stains.
Just listen to me. Get in the car! - But, sir..
Get in.. - Get in, dear.
He got it stitched. - What? - They've treated the wound.
They've said that I can take him home after a while.
He hasn't eaten anything since morning.
So I'll go and buy some food for him.
No, sir. I have the money that you already gave.
Keep this too. - No, I don't need so much money. - It's okay.
Does it hurt? - A bit.
Good night.
Meera. - Good night.
Good night.
Meera. - Thank you. Will you come tomorrow?
Okay.
Shall I summon the plumber to the town CI's office?
I'll also be there tomorrow. - That won't be necessary.
Sorry. But I'm not in for debate. But still, I'm saying.
Being an alcoholic is like having a terminal Illness.
You can just threaten him with your ways and methods.
But he needs proper treatment.
We know that scientifically it's the truth.
But in certain cases, our method works better.
I agree with you.
He would then think twice
before he raises his hand on his son again. - Exactly.
Raghu, I'm the daughter of an ordinary police constable.
Most of the time, their practical sense has helped me
more than my academy training.
It's up to you. There's nothing wrong in warning him.
Enquire and file the report today itself. - Yes, sir. - Okay.
Who are you? - I'm the plumber.
I was called for some maintenance work here.
What's your name? - Mani. - Oh, Maniyan. - Yes.
The problem is in the ASP's office. Come on.
What about the tools? - You can take it later. Come on.
Come inside.
Where is your native?
Thiruvananthapuram is my hometown, ma'am.
How long have you been here? - It's been many years now.
How many kids you have? - Three.
Do you beat your elder son unnecessarily?
Not at all.
I could've got this done by any of my junior officers.
But do you know why I slapped you myself?
So that you'll always remember the slap you got from a woman.
If you try to harm him
I'll beat you black and blue.
Do you understand? - Yes. - Get lost.
Sir.
Do you know, what is this, Binoy?
Are you making fun of me?
Tell me if you know. - You can scold me as much as you want to.
But to ask a cameraman to recognise a camera
is a big insult.
Binoy, if this was a camera to you till date
from now on, it's going to be your eye.
Your third eye!
You need to see through this from today onwards.
That was an eye-opener. - What? Okay.
You need to know something before you accept this.
Is it technical? - Bullshit!
Do you know why we break coconuts before starting a new beginning?
Coconuts are meant to be broken.
You, idiot. - Yes, sir?
We do it to put an end to our arrogance.
Which means you should remove all your egotism
and try to be more modest.
Do you understand? - Yes.
You need to head straight to the nearest
liquor store.
Have you started drinking again? That's good. - Idiot.
You are going there to film and not to buy liquor.
You need to film about the people
and their lives
who stand in long queue
in front of the liquor store
for the whole day and then part ways. - Okay.
So. Get going.
'Liquor store.'
'The subscriber you are trying to contact is unavailable.'
My dear, I don't want to contact anyone.
I don't want to get jailed for harassment at this old age.
Contact it seems.. Rubbish!
Forget others.. I don't have any contact with my wife.
"One and only goal is Sabarimala.."
Call me later. I'm in a meeting.
Sir, I won't be coming today. My wife is unwell.
I'm at the hospital now. I'll be back on Monday. Okay.
What? If there's no rice, you can starve.
Did I tell you not to disturb me during work?
Just hung up.
One bottle of McDowell's.
Hey, added some water into it.
"Just start dancing like a dancer."
"We'll dance to the beats of the music."
Hey, what are you doing?
Nothing. I'm taking your photo. - Okay.
You can take photos. But you should ask permission.
You should ask, excuse me, can I take a photo?
That's how you should ask. Feel free.
Hey, fix me another drink.
Mister. - Yes. - This is not a still camera.
It's a video camera. - Is it? - Yes.
Is it, dear? - Yes. - No.
I can take stills and video with this camera. - Give it to me!
I think he is from a TV channel. - Really?
How dare you film these gentlemen standing in a queue
in front of the liquor store and try to show it on television!
You'll face the consequences if you try to disgrace them.
I'm not from any TV channel. I was just doing it for fun. - Seriously!
Will you film your father's funeral too?
Beat him up!
I will show you.. - Oh, my God.
Hey, come here.
He has been roaming around with his camera for quite some time now.
Don't let him go! - I..
Why were you filming us? - I'll beat you up.
You've been filming for so long.. - Beat him up. - Don't hit me.
Beat him hard!
How dare you think about telecasting this? - Let me go.
Thrash him. - Please let me go.
Run. The police is here!
Oh, no! Police. - What happened?
A day.
A day in the life of a chronic alcoholic.
That will be our next project.
We're going to shoot the life of a chronic alcoholic
without his knowledge for a complete day.
There comes another trouble for me.
It's your job to act diligently.
You must make a sensible move.
Who is that one person you are referring to?
He is actually representing a lot.
A person who spends almost his entire wages
in a liquor store and who is hurriedly
moving towards his death bed.
Mani, the plumber, will be our lead character.
Will he agree to it?
You have to travel with him and do it without his knowledge, idiot.
It should be a candid camera shoot.
We can use a mobile phone, handycam and even pen cameras.
Is it possible to follow him all the time?
By following I meant
you will work as his assistant for a while.
You can learn something new, and our work will also be done.
For that, we will have to change the way you look. - It hurts.
Is he from your hometown? - Yes, Mani.
Okay. - I know his father. - Really?
His dad is upset that he doesn't have a livelihood.
Keep him as your assistant. - Okay.
He will be able to learn an occupation.
You don't have to pay him. I will take care of that.
That's not a problem, sir. Let him be with me.
I have heard that he drinks liquor.
If you see him drinking, ask him to leave.
I won't ask him to leave. I will beat the shit out of him.
Did you hear me? - Okay.
Come here.
You should respect me. I'm your supervisor.
Mr. Raghu, let him start from today itself.
You can decide, Mani. - Okay.
Take it.
He is your teacher. Never forget that.
You should watch and film everything he does.
Sir, he is already drunk.
That's what we want, moron.
Come on. - Yes.
Why are you saying hello when I called you?
Just listen and reply to what I say.
What do you mean why I called you?
I called you because I felt like calling you.
Where are you?
At work?
I'll soon make you quit your work.
Pankajam, don't argue with me.
Disconnect the call!
Hold this. - Okay.
Come here. Have you seen my kids? - Yes. - Good.
Aren't the two younger ones fair like me?
Yes, they are like you.
That's true. But the eldest one is dark.
A little.. - No, he is pitch-black.
How did that happen?
Both of us are fair.
Some people are dark while some are fair, sir.
Don't try to be my teacher.
You just listen to what I say.
That's not my kid.
What? - It's true.
She gave birth to him in the eighth month.
That means she was carrying him when she married me.
Understood? What are you doing?
The ladder.
Why are you concerned
about that ladder when I am discussing some serious issue?
Come here. - Really?
I know the person.
He used to be my master's helper.
Now he is back from Dubai.
I saw him yesterday.
Hey, did you see him?
He was also a helper like you.
He made it big by going to Dubai at the right time.
What about you? 'Suresh Raina..'
Did you see this? - 'missed again.' - It's a Rado.
You can leave. Good for nothing!
How's Pankajam and son, Mani?
Pankajam also has two other kids, not just the son.
That's the only thing he is good at.
To rapidly increase the family!
It was funny!
He will come.
To see her and his son.
Did you see this?
I will kill them both.
Didn't you come here to learn something? - Yes.
And did you offer anything to the teacher? - No.
Go and buy some liquor for me.
The supervisor was not happy with your work.
Don't we have to finish it before he shows up?
I will take care of that. You go and buy..
What is this? - Ladder.
Stop playing with the ladder. Go and buy some liquor.
I should be blamed for helping him out.
'That's not my kid.'
'I will kill them both.'
I'm afraid that he might kill her.
He might do that.
We hear so many news, Binoy.
It's a mental illness usually seen in an alcoholic.
It's a type of paranoid disorder.
In medical science, it is known as Othello Syndrome.
Excessive alcohol consumption can affect a person's sexual potency.
Doubting one's own wife is a symptom of it.
His brain intoxicated with alcohol
makes up a fictitious character of his wife's paramour.
He will then find a suitable person
from his surroundings to play that role.
But he won't have the courage to confront him.
Haven't you noticed? In most of the news
it's not the paramour but the wife who becomes a victim.
They're treated like cattle.
Like an easy prey to hunt
they are preyed upon by the hunters.
We are going to intrude into Mani's house, Binoy.
I know that it's a despicable thing to do.
But we have to know how Mani behaves in his house.
Shall I try something? - Okay.
Did you have this talent in your genes or is this your occupation?
Out of all the people, I should hear this from you!
I have been working with Mani
putting up with his swearing and thrashings.
If he learns about this
he will test the weapon
he is sharpening to kill his wife, on me.
It's done.
Fix those cameras at different places. - Okay.
I will wait outside. - Okay.
What do you want? - I have come to meet Mani.
He might have taken the money in advance for a work
and then didn't show up, right? - Yes, exactly.
So, everyone knows how he is, isn't it?
He is good for nothing.
He beats that poor woman and kids after getting drunk every day.
I'll leave only after meeting him.
Okay then. - Okay.
I have fixed those cameras in five different angles.
Hop on.
Binoy. - Yes. Binoy! - Yes.
Go there in the evening with him and switch on the cameras. - Okay.
What about their battery backup? - It will work for three hours.
You should collect it tomorrow. - Don't worry about that.
I will collect it at midnight.
All the cameras can be accessed through the windows. - Windows?
Is this the house? - Yes, sir.
Two of you stand at the back door. - Okay.
If he tries to escape, catch hold of him. - Okay, sir.
Call him.
Is Mani here? - Yes.
Who is it?
Sir! - Come here. - Okay.
What is it, sir? - Come with me.
Get him in the vehicle. - Sir! - Get in! - Sir!
Mother!
Alex. - Yes, sir. Is the vehicle ready?
It's ready.
Ma'am, what about his phone?
Remove the sim and give it back. He won't need it.
Come. - Ma'am, I..
Alex, take him away
or else I will have to waste a bullet from my service revolver.
Ma'am, I.. - Come on. Walk!
It will be the first time that the program 'Show D Spirit'
won't be having any guest but only the anchor.
We can only say it physically that there's no one in that chair.
A person is sitting over there. It's me, Raghunandan.
We can name this program as Confession if we want to.
I have been drinking alcohol for the past 25 years.
I can now say that I used to.
I have greeted sunrise, drinking alcohol.
I would drink all through the day.
Without anyone to wish good night.
Without anyone to wish me sweet dreams.
I have passed out drunk many times at night.
Finally one day, with great difficulty
I threw away my last glass of liquor.
I slowly regained my consciousness
and stumbled upon Mani.
When I looked into the daily routines of Mani
I discovered myself.
The arrogance I had for knowing five foreign languages.
In front of the traveller in me
who boasted that there's no place left to visit.
In front of my belief that there's no literature left to read.
Mani stood in front of me as an alien.
I later realised.
That he is not a stranger to me.
It's me.
My inner personality which I've never seen or realised.
I have never grilled Mani.
I have not trapped him with unanswerable questions either.
Instead, my young friend, Binoy
a cameraman followed Mani for me.
A day in the life of a chronic alcoholic.
A person amongst the many who help the state government in earning
several crores of rupees as profit
from the most profitable business being run in Kerala.
You know that person. Or you are that person.
Let's watch a day from the life of Mani.
'Donation box.'
Mani. - Yes. - Come here. - Oh, it's Babu.
Where is last month's interest? - I will pay it in two days.
Give me the money. - Don't take it from the pocket.
Don't put your hand in my pocket. I don't have money.
You borrowed it.. - Someone might see us.
Are you trying to fool me? - Leave me!
Stop there! You.
It's been a while. Get out!
Get lost!
Don't just stand here. Go and drink something. - Okay.
For the time being, keep this. - What about the balance?
I will give you the balance tomorrow.
I'm taking this.
Hey, come and have something if you want.
I have already had lunch.
You stay here.
'Ruby Bar.'
Come here. Have you seen my kids? - Yes.
Aren't the two younger ones fair like me?
Yes, they have got your glamour.
That's true. But the eldest one is dark.
A little.. - He's pitch-black.
How did that happen?
Both of us are fair. That's not my kid.
What? - It's true.
She gave birth to him in the eighth month.
That means she was carrying him when she married me.
Understood. What are you doing?
I will kill them both.
Drink some water.
Dear, you should eat till your stomach's full.
Are you mad? - Mother!
What is it? - What is your problem?
I will kill you. - Oh, my God!
What are you looking at? - Don't hit him.
Don't hit him. - Why are you partial to him?
Didn't you hear me? You and your love!
I will beat you to death.
I will kill you.
Stand up! - Dad, don't hit her!
Dad, don't hit her! - Move aside!
Dad, don't hit her!
Oh, my God!
Please don't harm him. - I'll kill him.
Leave him. I'll kill him.
You love him a lot, don't you? I will kill you today!
I won't let you live!
Oh, my God! - I saw his dad today.
I will kill you both.
Why are you crying?
Get inside. - Oh, my God!
Get lost!
'She wants to feed him!'
'I will not spare you!'
'I will beat you to death!'
Nobody is going to ask for you.
My drink got over, bloody bitch!
Didn't you get time to feed him earlier?
I will beat you all to death.
No one will dare to ask me!
I am not backing out after keeping hidden cameras
and showing his private life to crores of people.
Some of you might feel that what I have done
to Mani and his family is a cheap crime.
But Mani will not agree with them.
Because he has slowly recovered from his addiction to liquor
and is living a new life now.
Mani, are you watching this program?
I know that he is watching this program with teary eyes.
Mani is in a rehabilitation centre.
His wife and kids have also been taken care of.
Let's take a look at them.
'You will be working as a housekeeping in charge.'
'Okay. - Meera might have explained your job in detail, hasn't she?'
'Yes. - You should keep the room clean'
'before guests come and after they leave.'
'You will have people to help you out.'
'Okay. - We will be leaving for the US next week.'
'Okay, ma'am. - You don't have to call me ma'am.'
'You can call me Meera.'
'Your kids will be studying in Choice school.'
'Oh, aren't those schools meant for kids of rich people?'
'Jose Thomas, school's chairman and also Raghu's friend'
'has agreed to admit all of them without any fees.'
'Okay, sir.'
Mani will join them in a short while.
'You might say Mani's life was normal'
or that it's one in a million story.
I agree with it.
But still, the change is abnormal.
Not everyone is lucky to meet their guardian angel.
Only a few of them are the chosen ones.
'To all those who were not lucky'
'Show D Spirit would like to ask you to be your own guardian angel.'
Only you can transform yourself from a devil to an angel.
It's for your good.
It's for the good of people dependent on you.
No intoxication can give you the happiness
you get by sharing the love that's inside you.
I'm Raghunandan, signing off from 'Show D Spirit'.
Marvellous comeback.. - What a great show! - Here.
Congrats!
It was a great show! - Thanks.
Hey. - Hey.
Meera.
Yes.
Hello.
Hi, sir. Congrats!
Well done, sir. It was amazing.
Have one drink to celebrate this night.
Please.
Take it.
Come on.
Cheers.
He shouldn't have done it.
One minute.
What's wrong with you?
What did I do? - Get lost.
I.. - Rascal.
Sunny, look at me.
Please, there's no problem.
Hey, what happened?
It's nothing.
We will be leaving for the US next Friday.
Sunny has not got his visa yet. - Okay.
If he is fine with it, he can stay with me.
That will be great.
Let me ask him. Come. Come.
What happened?
'Why did you do that? I don't like it when you drink.'
'I took that glass out of courtesy'
'I don't like it.'
'I didn't drink it. I will not drink ever again.'
My dear, Son.
Let's live together for some time.
"Let us fly back in time to the days"
"when the earth was younger."
"Let us fly back in time to the days
"when the earth was younger."
"Let us play in the moonlight"
"before the first words were ever spoken."
"Let us fly back in time to the days
"when the earth was younger."
