Brother, your paddling doesn't look majestic.
Let the boat propel.
Get lost!
Better poke your ass.
Hey, Soman.
What about the arrival of bird flu vaccines?
That's up to the government, Saji.
Thank God, if it comes.
Can't you use herbs instead of chemical tooth pastes?
I can get you one, if you want.
Oh, no, Soman!
The moment I bit the leaf that you gave me yesterday,
the bitterness knocked out my receptors
from my throat to the butt.
I already have got a first class paste
recommend by the dentists. That's enough for me.
But this is the best for teeth.
A big No! Thanks.
Where are you eyeing on, while delivering papers?
You, made of Ajinomoto.
Oh, was it on this scoundrel that the paper hit?
Wow! What an aim!
Get lost!
Dear Soman,
Are you hurt?
Nothing, but a slight sprain on my back.
That's what I told earlier.
It's good for teeth,
but not for bones.
Am I buying newspaper to read advertisements?
Mommy!
Mommy...
What the heck?
A lot of space here,
and only under the mango tree, could you burn the litters?
That wasn't planted or grown by you.
It grew by itself.
Oh, my God! My flour!
Oh!
Crappy spoon!
Awesome!
The flour has risen up like firecrackers.
Today's breakfast is going to be yummy.
How fast have you run, mom?
What?
Now do you understand why I don't put tiles on the floor?
As if you are going to convert the house into Tajmahal.
Get lost, you crazy.
The flour has risen up well.
You must have added either yeast or baking soda into it.
No, it came up along with the tidal rise.
I know your character very well.
I've added just coconut water and banana in the flour.
You need not abstain from eating because I added yeast to it.
Okay, get me the breakfast.
He's playing with the eggs
if sold, will get you 8 rupees.
What on earth is it?
Who do you want to show this to?
His crappy side-whiskers.
No need to stare at me.

Soma, just wait.
Unni, write this.
Going to the site, right? Get on the bike.
No, Saji. Yesterday, I was sitting all the time.
I didn't get a proper walk.
If so, you may ask for Devan's catering near the post office.
Make it fast.
It's a long distance to walk.
Keep the bike there.
Let's walk together.
You may walk alone.
Keep the bike there, it seems.
Did you say beans, 1/2 kg?
Hi Ponnappan,
Oh, Soman, I haven't got any change today.
When did I ask for change?
Keep these too.
He comes here saying that he needs change.
But he doesn't buy anything saying that
these veggies are treated by toxic pesticides.
He's a waste.
Are the veggies actually treated by poison, Ponnappan?
Of course! Oh, no!
That is just a myth.
Nothing of that sort happens in Kerala.
We are strict in food matters.
Malli, two more bowls of cement.
Two bowls of cement are already there.
Malli, can you carry two bowls together?
- No, brother. - No, right?
If so, unload it and come again with the bowl.
Okay, brother.
Keep the bowl here.
Oh, See him smoke. Cough is not up to the mark.
You need to practice.
Soman is coming. Hide the cigarette.
It's Soman, and not a petrol bunk.
You may suffer the consequence.
This is beedi.
Organic.
Organic rascal.
'I smoke a beedi every morning'.
'Meet any friend, the first thing offered is beedi'.
'Some people say that those who don't smoke,
have no beard.'
'A man who doesn't keep a beedi on his ears...'
Heard that you supplied Biryani at the marriage function
at Kavalam Church.
Yes, it was our catering.
It was chicken biriyani, isn't it?
Saji...
I understood what you are talking about.
But this is not that Biryani.
This is a heavenly biryani made by Janaki, only for you.
Really?
If so, give me a big piece of chicken.
- Don't give him any. - Get lost.
- Then, give, he needs to find fault with it. - Of course.
- Thanks. - Hm...
Eat only what you need.
Don't let the cholesterol shoot up.
Oh, you were here?
Are you not eating?
Please don't feel bad.
I don't eat anything from outside.
I carry home food everywhere.
Dear, the food is from our own catering.
Just taste it.
No, thanks.
Don't force him to eat.
He eats only organic food.
- Nice. - Hey, it has come out well.
Now, I'll pose.
You also join me.
Both of us should look smart.
You must fit me also in the frame.
Okay?
Now, take a picture of us together.
Okay, you go and stand there.
How sad!
Oh, they started right in the morning, huh?
Stupid brats.
Don't they have responsible people at their homes?
You move a little sideways.
Now, okay.
Go to school instead of playing around here.
We came just to know if we could get a sapling of it, aunty?
Aunty?
Don't make her upset.
Aunty will get angry.
Aunty is your... Run to school!
Run! Run!
- Run fast. - Run, all of you.
Rajamma, they must be beaten on the butt, with a wooden stick.
Let me meet the principal.
I must not see any one of them here.
Jabbar,
What's the matter?
That's about 'Buttocks'.
What?
Some time before, the forest was cleared
on account of Gandhi Jayanthi celebrations.
That day onwards, the buttocks tree is a headache for us.
Can't you just cut it off?
Nice idea.
Will your boss reach on time?
He is very strict on that.
If he's not on leave,
he will be here exactly at 10 o'clock.
Ikka, the jungle is less dense outside.
Oh!
Our Sir bought it, and kept it here.
They are oxygen plants, it seems.
At times, you can see him eat its leaves.
What's the time? Are we getting late?
Please move a bit.
Brother, we came first.
You may stand behind us.
Dear, give way to him.
Let Sir get inside.
Sorry sir, we didn't know who you are.
Come inside.
Sorry sir, we didn't recognise you.
That's okay. It's for PSC attestation, right?
Yes, yes.
- Which is the original one? - It's here.
Please sign here, and here.
Does he have a twin brother?
No, what happened?
Same looking guy has come home for construction work.
That's he, himself.
Guys these days pay money, and go to gym.
What's it for?
To build muscles.
But our Soman sir, when called by the old building workers,
goes with them as if he's going to a gym.
Heard that he doesn't take money for it.
Oh, nice.
He's Jr. Organic.
He's Sir's student.
He drinks water only in a cross legged sitting posture.
Good that we reached here on time.
Otherwise we would've gotten late.
Walk fast.
I've been asking them to cut it off.
It's just a tree.
- Hi, Namaste. - It looks like buttocks.
Oh, the lady activists are here too?
- Ask him. - What's up?
President, what do you feel on seeing this?
Oh, the Buttocks tree looks so perfect.
Embarrassing!
The nature is being too naughty lately.
What else?
You must cut off these two projections.
The tree will rot away if you apply some pesticides.
Soman, they are planning to cut off the tree.
Move aside.
We can cut it off, as all of you opine the same.
What do you say?
So, all of you are asking to cut off this portion.
If only that portion is cut, the tree might bulge again.
What else shall we do?
So, you are planning to cut the entire tree.
As Soman said it, let's cut the entire tree.
Correct.
Instead of just nodding at other's opinion,
take your own decision.
Dear, pulsive Soman,
you will understand the feelings of women
only if you get married.
If a tree is sick,
there is no provision to dress it up.
Obscenity must be done away with on the spot.
Kids and women come to this office.
The tree, with A certificate must be cut off.
If so, I'll take the responsibility of it.
- What do you say? - Really?
- Let's see. - Let's see.
Let's see what happens.
The Left Eye, today,
invites your attention to a very different kind of hunger strike.
Soman, an agriculture officer is conducting a strike against
those who set out to cut the tree
that shows obscenity
inside the office compound.
Isn't he the guy who came here for the concrete works?
That's true.
He's awesome.
Why is he doing concrete works, if he has a government job?
One mustn't be this greedy for money.
"A Tree is a boon".
You must remember that a tree is a boon.
Hello.
Did you watch the news?
He climbed all the way up the tree.
Yeah, I'm watching him sit on the tree.
"Remember that a tree gives us shade".
I think he's mad.
"Remember that a tree gives us shade".
'I'll conduct strike until my death'.
Sister, will he come anytime now?
No way! You can freely cook without worries.
Don't expect him today.
People have gathered.
He is crazy when there's a crowd.
Please make a plate more for me.
As there is no network coverage,
the agriculture officer has taken land phone on the tree,
and he is doing his office works without any glitch.
His hunger strike is truly an example to everyone.
Soman, catch it.
Sir...
What's your opinion about cutting away this tree?
In my opinion,
this should be left to an evolutionary biologist.
Because, this tree is evolving.
Today, it has a pair of buttocks.
Who knows if it would gets eyes, nose
and evolve into another being?
We too have evolved in the same manner, right?
Am I right?
Like teacher, like student.
Chandran Kadakkal with cameraman, Gopan Neyyatinkara.
Hello, Agriculture Office.
Hello, Agriculture office. Sunny...
Hello, Agricultural Office.
What's it, Sir?
That's the Agriculture officer. Go to him.
Hello, Agriculture office.
Sunny.
Oh, what's it, Sir?
What about the files relating to Kidangara fields?
I'll get it ready right now, Sir.
Crap!
Rajamma...
Replace the yellowish sapling with a good one.
How irresponsible!
Hello, Agriculture office.
Sir, I'm P.O. Rinju.
Tell me, Porinju.
I'm here itself.
I can see you. Tell me the matter.
I failed in B-tech.
48 Supplementary papers.
I want to show my dad that I'm a winner.
So?
Is there any crop
that will make me rich in 3 months?
I have decided to step into the soil.
It's better you go back to the soil.
What?
Hello, Agriculture Office.
Hello, is it Soman Sir?
Yes, tell me the matter.
I rang up to congratulate you, on the strike.
Okay, you may congratulate me.
Strike is awesome.
Great! Nothing more to say.
If you don't have anything to say, why did you call?
Oh, sorry.
Then, okay, hang up?
Okay.
Soman, I needn't wait for you, right?
No need.
- Are you sure. - Yes.
See you tomorrow.
Hello, Agriculture Office. Who's this?
I'm your fan, who called in the morning.
Oh, became my fan, already?
Yes.
What do you want?
- I don't want anything. - Then?
I rang up just to check you out
as sitting on the tree top at night is a risky business.
What risk?
Monkeys all over the world live on the trees, right?
They don't have any problem.
Oh, is that why you have opted to sit on the tree?
What do you mean?
Oh, sorry, I didn't mean anything.
Are you not one among the Lady team over here?
Isn't it an attempt to ruin the strike?
I'm not here to lure anyone.
I just thought of giving a moral support.
If it bothers you, I won't call again.
Sorry.
Hello.
Hello, why aren't you talking?
Are you the girl who called me in the morning?
Girl? I'm your mom.
Is it you, mom?
What's the matter?
Didn't you find a place anywhere on the ground,
to conduct the strike?
Is it for saying this you called?
I'm going to sleep.
Dear, did you eat anything?
Mom, this is hunger strike.
Will the strike get over soon?
I've prepared yummy spinach for you.
Oh, spinach, it seems.
Otherwise, you always asked for spinach.
What happened to you now?
Don't you like spinach?
Yes, I like it.
Hello.
Hello, mom.
Hello...
Hello, mom.
I like it.
I really like it.
I like you too.
Soman, just get up.
Dear Soman.
You must buy a good mosquito net for me.
I haven't slept even a bit yesterday.
No need for it.
There is an order not to cut the tree.
You may come down.
Damn it!
It was a nice fasting.
My blood was being purified.
Spoiled it.
'Recovered the mother tree'.
Please move aside.
Side, please.
Congratulations.
Drink it.
Thank you.
'Recovered our mother tree'.
Enough!
Sir... Sir, just a moment.
Both of the United fronts are celebrating this victory.
What do you feel now?
It's easy to cut trees away.
But, it will take 2-3 generation's time
to grow it back into a big tree.
I'm a person who like to live an Eco-friendly life.
I don't have any religious or political agenda behind it.
But if I see something that I don't like,
I'll hit them with home made cuss words.
That's all I have to say.
After the Liberation Struggle,
another strike sees victory, for the first time.
A skirt more to be washed.
Saree, skirt, blouse, dhoti...
Why do you put on a thousand clothes all together?
Can't you just wear a single nighty instead?
Tomorrow onwards, I'll wear a nighty.
And I'll buy a cassock for you.
So that you can do away with the ordeal of pulling the pants up.
The phone is ringing.
- What? - The phone is ringing.
Heck with his nighty.
Style lady.
Hello, who is this?
Is it Soman Sir's house?
This is my house.
He is an undesirable responsibility for me.
Who are you, girl?
I'm Soman Sir's fan.
Will you give the phone to him?
I have just given something to him.
Can't you wait until he's out of the hangover?
Oh, is it?
Then, I'll call you later.
That's better.
He's washing clothes.
Hey, it was your fan who just called.
What?
Oops!
Why didn't you call me?
I don't know what's making her call you?
She has told that she would call again.
[Old romantic Malayalam song]
Hello.
Hello...
Is it Soman Sir?
Hello.
How did you get my number?
Got the number from Jabbar.
That's good.
Why so?
If you call to the office number,
Sunny will be picking up the call.
He's not a neat guy.
So, Sir is a bit possessive.
Possessiveness?
I don't even know your name.
Tell me the truth.
Didn't you wish for my call?
No.
If I tell 'no', that will be a lie.
What's your name?
Shalini.
Are you Baby Shalini?
Shalini without a baby.
[Old romantic Malayalam song]
Aphids and roller worms
are the biggest enemies of a coconut tree.
Aren't they the pests that infest paddy?
In certain situations, they destroy coconuts as well.
- Is it true? - Yes.
You carry on, Sunny.
Carry on.
You may talk now.
Can't you buy a mobile phone?
If so, I can call you any time.
Mobiles are injurious to health, Shalini.
For that, mobile phones are not for eating.
They are to make calls.
Listen Shalini,
Mobile phones are against my policy.
If you want, I can write a detailed letter to you.
You may take your time, and write letters.
But I told about our love affair to my parents.
Really?
Did your mom get excited?
Excitement, it seems.
She blasted at me, the moment she heard about it.
Why is it so?
Ain't I a government employee
who doesn't have any bad habits,
lives an Eco-friendly life,
eats only organic food?
That exactly is what people are saying.
That you are a little mad.
Mad?
Who told that?
There's no one who says otherwise.
But, I like this mad guy.
What else is bothering you?
What a question?
My mom is unrest since the moment she heard about us.
Now, she says that,
someone close to my uncle, is coming to see me.
Let them come and see you.
I don't want anyone to see me.
The only person who comes to see me, must be you.
Mommy, I want to get married urgently.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my turmeric!
If you remain unmarried, only your life will get wasted.
Why do you want to ruin a girl's life too?
Any mom of your age would want to have a grandchild.
But you...
You are so discouraging.
If anyone has to marry you, you will have to give them dowry.
It's not female dowry, sister, but male dowry.
What's it that mom and son are talking about?
Saji, he wants to marry, it seems.
Let him marry. What's the issue?
Who is the girl?
- Shalini. - How's the girl?
I haven't seen her.
Wonderful!
Shalini is a girl who takes care of her health and beauty.
How can you tell that without seeing her?
I guessed it from what she has told me.
Soman...
Love is like traveling in an autorikshaw.
You can get down anywhere.
But marriage is not so.
It's a flight.
You can't get down in the middle.
It's a life and death game.
You must be careful.
Poor girl.
I'm relieved of this headache.
Heard it?
Is this the place?
It's somewhere here, that's what she said.
This is the house, 'Devaragam'.
Pull over here.
This is the house.
- This house? - Yes.
Isn't it Catering Devan's house,
we'd come for concrete works?
Yes.
- Let's go inside. - No way.
You must come with me.
Make it fast. They will be here in no time.
Okay, sister.
Make it crisp.
Okay.
Smell of fried food is coming out.
I wonder if we are stepping into an abyss of food.
Shall we go back?
Let's go.
Be here.
How mean!
♪ Like a golden melon hanging on the creeper plant, ♪
♪ A girl as beautiful as the charming moon. ♪
♪ O' beautiful, to dissolve in you, and shine, ♪
♪ A guy comes wearing a sweet smile. ♪
Shalini...
I can't give my daughter's hand to a concrete worker.
- Shall we leave? - Nope.
Mom, even if you marry her to someone else forcefully,
I'll go there, and take her with me.
My love for her is not going to come down,
even if she marries someone else.
Look at you say that!
Do you think she will come with you without our permission?
Shalini will come with me, if I call her.
Will you go with him?
I'll go with him.
You just come here.
Oh, this girl.
Just come here.
What's it?
My brother is bringing a marriage proposal
of a guy who is well placed in Gulf.
They will reach now.
If the groom comes, I'll give rat poison to him.
Are you listening to what this stupid girl is saying?
If you go with that bloody guy,
I'll commit suicide.
Even if you die, I'll marry only Soman.
Have you decided it?
A thousand times.
Broski,
You must do something urgently.
Tell the groom from the Gulf not to come.
Yes, tell him not to come.
Both of you do whatever you like.
Move aside.
Does the groom have any demands?
Broski, he has no particular demands.
But he says, he doesn't want an engagement ceremony.
If so, tell him that we are least interested
in conducting the marriage either.
My brother is right.
Crap!
Can you both keep quiet?
No need to fight over it.
My priority is my daughter's happiness.
If so,
let's conduct the marriage on a Sunday in the month of Chingam.
But bro,
They have decided to conduct the marriage on 1st of Karkidakam.
In the month of Karkidakam?
Isn't it impossible, bro?
Of course!
What's the problem?
The groom doesn't smoke or drink, or has any bad habits.
The only bad habit he has is,
he advices people like us who drinks.
So sad.
I fear, he will advice us too, bro.
Yes, for sure.
So, let's conduct the marriage whenever they want.
Yes.
All of his friends belong to the working class.
We agreed only because he has a government job.
He's not as bad as she says.
He's smart.
- Am I right, dear? - Yes.
Is Karkidakam 1, a Sunday?
No, aunty, it's a friday.
Do you want to conduct the marriage on Karkidakam-1 itself?
Can't we make it on 3rd?
Let me ask him.
But, no need to have hope.
How shall I convince our relatives?
Leave it. Will find some excuse.
- Isn't it? - Yes.
Hey, Ponnappan.
Did you hear about Soman?
No.
So, you didn't hear the news, huh?
What's wrong with him?
For the attention of all the people who know me.
I am getting married on Karkidakam 1,
coming Friday at Keezhikkavu Bhagavathy Temple.
As there is no particular time, once all of you have reached,
the marriage ceremony will be performed before lunch.
I request your solicited presence for my marriage.
Your's... Soman, Marottiparambil.
Sign.
Oh, is this idiot getting married?
You can expect his divorce soon.
Anyway, this is ridiculous.
Exactly!
Please come.
Hey, hope everything is good.
No need to get tensed.
No way.
Be careful with the money covers.
There are a lot of covers.
This wasn't necessary, mom.
The bride and the party, is coming.
Is gold organic?
She is a match for Soman.
Why do you have to get up?
What's the problem with standing up?
It's said that women must be respected.
Please move, brother.
A little...
Won't the bride's photographer take groom's photo?
Sorry, brother.
Keep the plate on the floor, and sit.
Be careful while you sit.
Dear, your saree...
Don't get shocked while tying the knot.
What for?
Kochumol has agreed to do the shouts of acclamation.
That's nice.
[Offering prayers]
The moment he ties the knot, we must run.
Run where?
To eat food in the first round itself.
- Oh, this fellow. - Get lost.
Are you scared?
I'm a little tensed up.
Why this tension?
Some people hesitate to eat or drink
until the marriage ceremony is over.
I happily had yummy steam cake and bengal gram in the morning.
- Did you eat anything, Shalini? - No.
The order is not to eat anything until the ceremony is over.
You must not skip the breakfast.
Food is energy.
- Okay? - Yes.
You must never skip breakfast.
Oh, my Gosh!
Soman...
What the hell are you doing?
Fruits are good for health.
What on earth is he doing?
That's fine.
Eat it.
What is he doing?
[Offering prayers to Lord Vishnu]
Did you say anything?
Nothing, take the Thali chain.
[Offering prayers]
Handover the Thali.
- What's it, Soman? - Thali.
Hand the Thali to me.
Where's the Thali, hello?
Bro, no Thali?
- What happened? - What happened, son?
Is there any problem?
- What's it? - I think he hasn't taken the Thali.
Where's the Thali?
- I'd warned you many times... - That won't be the matter.
Please keep quiet, broski.
What to do now?
No Thali, that's the problem.
- So sad. - Dear...
Will you give me your Thali?
Phew!
Asking for your mom's Thali?
Could I ask it to someone else's mom?
I must kick your...
- Where's your Thali? - I can't find it.
- That's why I asked you. - Careless, and now...
Awesome!
A marriage without a Thali.
Karkidakam 1, the best day to get married too.
Shut your mouth.
- What to do now? - Move, please.
Shall we go and search for it at home?
Dad, I missed it somewhere here.
If everyone searches for it together, we will find it.
- Yes, true. - Search, all of you.
Please search for it.
Hubby, I got a 5 rupee coin.
Let it be in my pocket.
Let me look for it in the dressing room.
Okay.
What a headache is this?
Yes, true.
I can't look for it in the hot sun.
I'm going home.
I'll go only after eating the feast.
It's such a shame.
Soman, have you actually bought a Thali from any shop?
Pray for a life that's not ruined like this.
Son, shall we go and buy a new one?
This is not a garland, but a Thali.
Why are you so irresponsible like this?
Soman, the auspicious time will get over.
What's your plan?
What if postpone the marriage to tomorrow?
Tomorrow? How does it work?
Nothing could be done without a Thali.
You can find a way out.
Go and ask for your wife's Thali.
That's pledged in the bank. Otherwise, I would've given it.
Enough!
Let's tie the 'Thali' at home tomorrow, peacefully.
God, I had to witness my daughter getting married without a Thali.
Sir, can you just act as if you are tying the knot?
God, it's smoke all over.
Hey, don't shout.
It's full of mosquitoes over here.
I just burnt some amber.
Can't you just keep a mosquito mat instead?
Mosquitoes are living beings like us.
If it kills mosquitoes,
what will be our condition if we breath it through out the night?
You are a genius.
I hadn't thought about it yet.
That's it.
Now on, let us think about such things together.
What do you say?
I don't drink milk.
You may drink it, if you want.
I don't like milk too.
But in films, I have watched...
Mom, I'm closing the door.
No need, don't shut the door.
Oh, how stupid he is!
My mom also...
The cabbage was too salty.
You made it, right?
People come for marriages to eat tasty food.
But, in this feast, the veggies were just half-cooked.
What's this?
I can cook only according to what Soman says.
- This is Soman's marriage, right? - Yes.
Soman made a local feast in his own way.
That's not the matter.
- Then? - He is a miser.
Get lost.
If I don't make it the way he asks for,
he will kill me by advising for one and a half days.
- Don't you know his character? - Lame excuse!
It is said that women and men are equal.
But in this situation,
I don't think so.
You parents gave you good education, and raised you.
But you were sent away in marriage,
to a total stranger.
Isn't it just like a re plantation?
Don't you think so?
Hats off!
We must salute their sacrifice.
How great they are!
For the same reason,
You can go home whenever you feel like seeing your parents.
You can stay there any number of days you want.
You need not ask my permission.
Do you understand what I say?
Yes.
Okay.
Shall we go to bed?
Yes.
Shalini...
[Shalini sobbing]
What happened?
[Sobbing]
I want to go home right now.
I want to see my parents.
Shalini...
You can go home, please.
Shalini, you can go home.
I don't have any problem.
Soma...
What's the crying all about?

I have a doubt.
How long will they live as husband and wife?
- What do you mean? - I mean...
I really doubt how long their marital relationship would last.
Hey, dirty fellow.
Drink booze at his house,
and bad mouthing about him?
Bloody!
Is it the sound of my vehicle that I just heard?
Didn't you hear it too?
Yes, of course.
Damn it! Somebody is taking my vehicle.
Come on.
Hey, hello, what's the problem?
Nothing, Saji.
Switch on the headlight.
What happened to that girl?
He would have adviced her in the middle of the night.
Otherwise she wouldn't cry.
Give way.
She would've gotten scared on seeing his organic approach.
What?
Is Side-whiskers inside?
Yes, he's inside.
Walk with me.
Sir,
Mysooran has come.
For what?
Regarding the loan, for the chicken farmers.
Mysooran, this loan is meant for the poor farmers,
who rear just 5-10 chickens.
I won't allow any kind of manipulation in this.
Dear sir, this is not such a big deal.
I'll give you the identity cards of 10 people.
And their names.
You need not inquire about who they are.
I'll take the entire loan.
Sir, we offer the subsidy amount to you.
Get up.
Take him outside, Sunny.
Sunny...
If this is the case, we will have to think about
whether the road in front of his house shall be built or not.
During the last election, you built a poor quality road,
and we all know how difficult it was,
when the road was worn away in the rain.
We'd better walk until we have two legs.
Don't waste time, better go.
Okay, we will see.
Come on.
Chandu has come.
Why so early, broski?
He is feverish, and has headache too.
Bro, Chandu isn't eating any medicine lately.
He says that Soman advised him to do so.
He will be fine with a turmeric steam and a dry ginger coffee.
He's not just a staff for me,
but my brother too.
I won't say anything that isn't good for you.
Soman,
Mini takes only English medicines.
Don't underestimate English medicines.
There are circumstances when only English medicine works.
During then, ginger and pepper might not work.
Do you know the side effects of Paracetamol tablets?
Do you know about its chemical composition?
We are just eating it without knowing anything about it.
Sleep for sometime.
Okay.
Did your wife come back?
Yes, she is back.
She's a little homesick.
She hasn't been away from home before.
Okay, then.
Shalini,
Let's go for a honeymoon trip tomorrow itself?
When are we going, dear?
Let's get a week's groceries for mom,
and go somewhere.
One week?
Awesome!
Don't we have to prepare a list of places to visit?
Why do we need a list?
Let's start with Kodaikanal.
What do you say?
For one week, right?
This is organic food for Soman.
Oh, is it?
Yes.
Keep it safe.
Okay.
What is this?
He brushes his teeth with this.
- Brush with leaves? - Yes.
How weird!
Watch your steps, dear.
What is he doing?
Hope the vehicle has all the papers.
All the papers are clear.
Will it reach Kodaikanal?
Do you just want to reach there, and not come back?
You are over smart.
How dare you?
Where on earth is he coming from?
Why is there a vehicle and such a hullabaloo?
Soman is going for honeymoon.
It must be to some vegetable garden.
Am I right, Soman?
Do I have to reply now, or after I come back?
No need of a reply, thanks.
I'm going.
Okay, leave.
Big attitude!
Mom...
Don't forget to drink amla juice as I'm not here.
I know. Get going.
Come on.
Be back safe, dear.
- Bye. - How do I look?
Shalini...
- Got inside? - Yes.
Take the vehicle.
Didn't they invite you for the honeymoon?
Our 'moon' is over, no?
Hey, let's go!
Pull over, here!
Can you wait for sometime?
I came here last during his father's time.
That's fine. Just give me the waiting charge.
- Do you have mutton puffs? - Mutton?
We have meat, chicken, and vegetable...
My dog is gonna eat vegetables.
Pack a couple of meat and chicken puffs for me.
We need to take the right turn to Kodaikanal.
Shalini, haven't you watched the movie, Mazhavil Kavadi?
No, I haven't watched it.
No? That's sad.
It's an enchanting visual poetry directed by Sathyan Anthikad.
What?
- I mean it's a beautiful movie. - Okay.
Hey.
Let's spend sometime here, and go.
Okay.
♪ On the top of the Mount Mainak... ♪
[Humming]
Do you have that song?
- Yes. - Then, play it.
Will the mount come down on playing the song? Let me see.
Play the song. Just do what I say.
Here is your song.
His damn Mount Mainak.
♪ The sun shines over the roof top of Mount Mainak... ♪
We could've opted for the lift.
We have a lot of time. No hurry.
Let's relax and climb up.
What a feel!
Next time, we shall take mom with us.
Don't you like it?
Let's buy extra Panchamrita and give it your parents.
Let them be happy.
No need for it.
Let them not know that we climbed up the entire hill.
Come on.
One week just passed on so quickly.
Only towards the end of the trip,
I came to know that, Soman, who is an atheist,
planned the honeymoon just to slim me down.
Anyways, I enjoyed the trip a lot.
Saji,
1500 ducks of mine were killed last December.
I haven't received any compensation
from the government until now.
Next time, I'll not allow to touch a single duck
until the compensation is received.
So, you think that bird flu will come next year also.
That's not what I meant.
I say this because I feel terrible.
Brother, as long as Soman is here,
- you need not worry. - Soman wouldn't help.
When I say something, he can't ignore it.
That's what.
Saji, I told you over the phone.
It has not been sanctioned.
Why do you unnecessarily take up such headaches?
Headache?
We burnt all of our ducks inside the duck cage,
just because you told to do so.
Shut your mouth.
Did I ask you to burn them?
Saji, did I ask you to burn the ducks?
After hearing crap from some informal channel,
you blindly burnt those innocent creatures...
Just think that it's their curse.
What an interpretation!
What shall we do when the government orders so?
You must conduct strike.
That is the core purpose of strike.
Dear Soman...
What could these poor farmers
who have availed farm loans do?
Even if they do, who will support them?
The compensation was sanctioned long back.
I'd met Ramesh, the District Secretary.
That's impossible.
It's just that your head officer is not giving the NOC.
We can't give it like that
just because we received the government order.
We have some responsibilities.
What responsibility are you talking about, Sir?
Do you think that you can pocket some money,
if you make them walk behind this.
Say it straight on face, 'Bribe'.
Hey, watch your words.
I can't watch my words more than this.
If you don't release the fund as soon as possible,
I'll conduct a strike in front of the office tomorrow.
That wouldn't be like my previous strike.
You will have to sweat a lot.
Are you threatening me?
Yes, of course!
I want to know your decision before I call the media.
Dear Soman,
I'll do it in two days.
Sir, you have just two days ahead of you.
If that is over, I won't even show the courtesy to inform you.
Okay, okay.
He is such a headache.
The vehicle has come.
Hey, wipe off this side.
Do I have to show you everything? What's this?
I'll will wipe it off.
Let me unload two of them for you?
Neena, Rosy and Ramani have bought it, already.
Shall I give two of them?
Who didn't buy it this month?
It will not rot if you stock it.
Is there anyone left out without buying it this month?
There's this guy who comes every month.
That side-whiskers. He hasn't come this month.
- You mean, Soman? - Yes.
- Get me one box. - One is enough?
Soman,
Just come here.
Congratulations!
For what?
So, are you not responsible for it?
Responsible for what?
Pariyakutty slept with her in the gap
when Pazhani went to the sea. [Referring to the film, Chemmeen]
You may go home.
They are fresh amlas.
Take 2 kgs.
What is this unusual purchase all about?
She is pregnant.
But why amla?
Usually, women ask for raw mangoes
when they are pregnant, right?
Your kid, right? It will ask for only amlas.

According to what doctor said,
the child will be born in the dark quarter of Pooradam star.
That's going to be a problem.
What do you mean?
That means, when the child is 10 years old,
life of its father is in danger.
Father is going to perish.
Death is more or less confirm.
Any remedy?
Remembering Goddesses in your mind,
you may keep an odd number asdakshina on the table.
I'll tell you the remedy.
I'll give it.
The remedy is,
the child must not be born in the dark phase of Pooradam star.
How is that possible?
Look for a good star, and do cesarean.
How's my idea?
Nice! 500 rupees gone.
Bharani is the most suitable star.
Okay, then.
Listen Shalini,
If I'm alive, what you say is not going to happen.
If that astrologer predicts something, that will definitely happen.
Tell him to get lost.
Nothing is going to happen if a day is postponed or preponed.
What we need is peace of mind.
This is a blind belief, not peace of mind.
- Leave me. - Hubby.
The baby has not come out yet.
But the star and the horoscope are ready.
And predicted that its father will die.
I'll give a reply to this nonsense on my kid's 10th birthday.
Shalini...
I want to tell an important matter to you.
I sensed it when you agreed to go for a movie
which is quite rare.
What's the matter?
I can't stand even a bruise on your body.
If we go to the hospital,
they will place knife on your stomach.
What do you mean to say?
We can conduct the delivery here at our house.
Are you insane?
The word, 'delivery' itself is making me nervous.
Let alone deliver the baby at home?
Delivering a baby is a process.
It will just take place.
It's crap.
You men can just call it as a process.
Don't show your adamance here.
I've assisted a lot of cows in giving birth.
Is delivering a human baby similar to calving?
Shalini,
We will make all the necessary arrangements
before we conduct the delivery.
Don't you trust me?
Even if I agree, will my parents agree?
Just to give others a matter to laugh about.
I need only your permission,
and not anyone else.
Did I ever say 'no' to anything you have asked for?
But I won't allow to play with my baby's life.
Hello,
Is it Chandu?
Yes.
Did Soman come to office today?
No, sister, he hasn't reached yet.
Did he tell you about going anywhere?
No, he hasn't told me anything.
He never goes anywhere without informing us.
Should I look for him anywhere?
No need.
Ask him to call me when he reaches.
Okay, I'll tell him.
Mom...
Where did you go without telling anyone?
Do you have in mind that a girl over here
is at the verge of delivering a baby?
Who's this?
He had come to Chellanam to pick me up.
Please come inside.
Who are you?
I'm a midwife.
Midwife? For what?
What a dumb question!
Are the midwives doing the job of a collector at this place?
Who are these senseless people?
She's my wife's mother.
Oh, that's why she is obnoxious.
She will be fine.
Soman, what are you going to do?
If anything happens to my kid...
Nothing's going to happen.
I'll conduct the delivery effortlessly.
Not even a fly will know about it.
Hello, this is not an extramarital pregnancy.
So what?
Does anyone conduct a ticket show
on baby delivery, gathering people around?
Soman,
If this lady is going to be here,
I'll take my daughter, and leave the house right now.
If so, mom and dad may go.
Girl, don't take anything.
Come with us right now.
Moms can't tolerate even a small injury on her child.
But now, you are taking your daughter to get cut by knife.
No delivery that I've monitored
has caused death to either the mother or the kid.
Come on dear, let's go.
No, my dear...
No!
Come on, hubby. Let's go.
- Janaki... - Come on.
Okay.
You know,
Mom hasn't liked Chettathi's (midwife) arrival.
Not only my mom,
but your parents also have not liked her arrival.
Chetathi was telling something in your ears that day.
What was it?
Take your hands.
Tell me.
Is it?
I have delivered 8 babies.
Those days,
I used to go for collecting shell-fish with my big pregnant belly.
If you are physically active,
delivering a baby is a silly matter.
Girls today don't work.
They don't sweep the yard, fetch water from the well,
or blow into the furnace...
But all of them ask for a normal delivery.
Hello, dear son.
Pinda oil, Balarishtam, Dhanwantharam oil, and Licorice.
Buy all of these at the earliest from the pharmacy.
Her Pinda oil!
Move aside.
She didn't like it.
We used to give her Sidacordifolia mixed in milk 2 times a day.
We stopped it in the 8th month only.
Even I take bath using the abovementioned
therapeutic oil.
That's enough, sweetheart.
Be cool.
Nothing will happen.
Hubby, come fast.
Soman...
Hey.
Hey...
I can hear some noise from Soman's house.
She would've started having pain.
Go and check her out.
Get me the torch.
What's wrong?
Chettathi is not moving.
Gastric problem, that's what she said.
What's the problem?
Chettathi...
She comes up with nuisance just to deprive other's sleep.
I've been sitting all the time since I came here.
Moreover I ate roasted Bengal gram a while ago.
That's when it started.
Do something.
Give some cumin seed water to her.
I'll take it and come.
Hey, are you going to conduct her delivery by this sick woman?
I became sick after eating the food you prepared.
You should've thought about it before eating a tummy full.
It's this lady who ate the entire medicine
made for that girl.
I ate only a little.
- A little, it seems. - What medicine?
Tharunipushti. [Health tonic for girls]
What's the problem?
Nothing, it's gas...
It's just a gastric problem.
Hubby...
Soman...
Alas!
What happened, girl?
Dear Soman, I'm not at all well.
Take her to the hospital.
Taking her to hospital while she is going to deliver a baby?
- No time, make it fast. - Lay her on the bed.
- Be cool, mom. - You are playing with her life.
- Call a taxi. - Walk inside.
Devan, it is Saji.
Be careful, dear.
There is nothing to worry.
- Don't worry. - My girl...
There's nothing, dear.
Lay her on the bed.
- Hold her head. - I'm holding her.
Lay her properly.
Lay her straight.
There's nothing to worry.
Be cool, Shalini.
Go and take some hot water.
Go.
Don't go.
You stay here, I'll bring water.
You are perfectly okay.
Don't get scared.
- I can't stand this, hubby. - Don't get scared, dear.
Why crying like this? Be cool.
Go and call Kochumol immediately.
Only the midwife is with her. Be back soon.
Don't get late. Come fast.
Hubby...
Hubby, I can't tolerate the pain.
Don't worry, Shalini.
Please, don't worry.
All of us are here.
I'm here. Chetathi is here. All of us are here.
Chetathi...
She will deliver soon.
Bring the clothes.
Shalini...
Be confident, dear.
Get the clothes, I say.
Shalini, I'll be back soon.
Don't howl like this.
Don't get scared.
When the pain comes, push it with force.
Don't howl, okay?
My Goddess.
Please protect my children,
If so, I'll offer you a Muzhukappu. (Offering to God)
O' Hubby...
Hubby, it seems.
First, I must give a blow to that lady.
Let this get over.
Kochumol, please boil some water.
Let me go and check my daughter.
Okay, I'll do that.
You may go.
- Shalini... - I'm getting scared, hubby.
Don't get scared, Shalini. Try Shalini.
I can't do this.
Instead of looking back, just push the baby.
Push, I say.
Push! Just push!
Lift your legs up and push.
She is playing around while the baby is almost out.
Shalini, please try your best.
Didn't I ask you to push?
Push the baby.
Give a strong push.
Falling unconscious at a very critical situation?
You, senseless!
Created the problems all by himself, and now...?
Please don't cry, my dear.
Push well.
Push the baby, my dear.
Have the courage, Shalini.
- Shalini... - Give a strong push.
Enough!
Open the door fast.
My God.
- Ut... - My daughter...
- Come fast, hubby. - Be cool, Janaki.
What the hell are they doing there?
- Come fast. - Take that thing and come fast.
Shalini...
Push the baby with force.
Push well, girl.
- Dear Shalini... - Push, I say.
- Push well. - Try, my dear.
Push, my dear.
I've told a thousand times not to give my daughter
to that side-whiskers rascal.
Janaki, I never thought that he will be this crazy.
Come fast.
Try, Shalini, try.
My dear, there's nothing to worry.
- Dear... - Shalini.
- Don't get scared, Shalini. - Give a strong push.
- Told you to give a strong push. - Shalini...
Push!
- Push the baby. - Shalini...
Shalini, everything is fine.
- Come on. - Shalini...
My Mother Goddess!
Oh my God, I...
Go inside.
Now, you may go.
See you tomorrow.
Okay.
A full bottle!
Grand father!
Bravo!
Girl born in Pooradam star.
Happy birthday, my honey!
9 Years Later.
- Hey, what's happening? - Nothing special.
How's your business?
Not bad.
Okay.
Hey, Soman.
What about your transfer?
If I'd to go to another place, I could've gone long back.
But I must be here.
What about it, now?
Isn't it a government thing?
Who knows when the transfer order will come?
Soman, what's up?
Didn't like me catch it?
Have you made brushing with mango leaf a habit?
Yes.
Soman Effect!
Get lost!
Which actress are you drawing?
I'm drawing your picture.
Oh, really?
Let me see.
A little more perfection is needed in certain areas.
Like, this thumb finger...
Grandma, isn't it a part of our body?
If so, is it good to call it, 'thumb' (means no respect)?
You must call it 'mother finger' respectfully.
Now, I've to tolerate two, my God.
You must have misunderstood it, President.
In my knowledge, no such complaint has gone from here.
Just go, Sunny. You know nothing.
These are done by certain people who want to become famous.
Sir, what's the problem?
Bullshit!
Hey, officer...
- Have you given a complaint... - President,
Decision has been taken to supply coconut seedlings
that have reproductive capacity, through Haritha Sangham.
Let's talk about it later.
I came to know that you have filed a complaint that says,
waste from my pesticides factory has been dumped into the lake.
Moreover, a complaint regarding illegal sand mining also...
Why the hell do you want to do spy work on
what I do at Thottuva and Thottapalli?
Oh, that's the matter, huh?
Guardian of nature, it seems.
The sand is mined to clear the spillway,
so as to divert the flood water out of Kuttanad.
Do you understand that?
You are only good at conducting shows for publicity,
and nothing else.
Too saddening!
When the flood comes, it's the poor people who suffer.
President, what I gave is not just a petition.
How many cubic feet of sand have you mined
in the name of increasing the depth and width of the river?
How many she-oaks have you cut from the banks of the river?
Do you have any account of it?
We are moving forward with
all the necessary accounts and documents.
If so, listen to me...
Its after taking all the records via. Right to Information,
that I've lodged the complaint.
If it was to avoid a disaster, the spillway should've been cleared first.
We have about 40 shutters.
How many of them are working?
Condition is such that the salt water flows into the fields,
through the rusted and worn out shutters.
You too are answerable for it.
Do you get it?
The President asked for, and got enough right in the morning.
You may do whatever you want, Soman.
Don't think that you can stick your ass on this chair for a long time.
O' President, that's exactly what I'm also thinking about.
I want to get freed from my job,
be independent, and then protest.
You may support this mad guy.
We'll see.
If this is the case,
I don't think that I can continue in the Agriculture office.
Why?
Is it a transfer, my son?
Nope.
I crave for eating some tasty food.
That's why asked...
See, our daughter told me something today.
What's that?
Look at that picture carefully.
Let me see.
It's nice.
I want to go to school like this.
What?
I want to go to school like this.
Yes, of course!
We can go to a very good government school.
What you say?
Anyway, she told it by herself.
Weren't we waiting for her to tell that to us?
Isn't it, honey?
At least now, you chose to act wisely.
Let's do something.
Let her write an entrance examination.
If she passes through,
we can admit her into a class that fits her.
What you say?
Okay, Sir.
What's your name?
I'm India.
Didn't I tell you earlier?
See what happens when you don't admit your child at the proper time.
Do you tell your country's name when someone asks your name?
No, Sir.
My name is India.
Oh, that's wonderful.
It's a more variety name Soman had in mind.
Chrimuhi.
Chrimuhi?
Christian! Muslim! Hindu!
Later, we decided not to have any religion.
He stands out from everyone since his childhood.
He asked me if applying oil to our body everyday
will cause our cholesterol rise.
So, Soman, I'll let you know the exam date.
- Okay? - Alright.
Hi, Pappa.
What happened to your bag?
Mom, this is not my bag.
- Is her admission okay? - Veena, I'll come now.
Yes, George Sir had called me to office.
She got A grade for the exam she wrote the other day.
He asked to go to the school tomorrow itself, if possible.
What to do now?
Tomorrow onwards, with whom shall I play with?
You may watch the serials that you watch in the night
again in the afternoon.
Pappa, I have a doubt.
Veena says that I was born when Pappa and Mamma
hugged each other.
Is it true, Pappa?
What a children they are?
Did they get spoiled even before going to school?
Didn't I tell you that you shouldn't ask this again?
Shalini, who else will clear children's doubt?
No, hubby, don't attempt to do unnecessary things.
A girl that opens her mouth just to ask questions,
and a father who always is at service to answer those.
Dear...
When Pappa and Mamma started liking each other,
we got married.
Same way,
When we became one, with all love we had...
you were born in mom's stomach.
Thus, you grew big inside mom's stomach.
When you moved inside your mom's stomach,
and hit her with your little feet,
she is the one who tolerated the pain happily,
and carried you for 10 months.
Your Pappa is someone who witnessed your Mamma's
anxiety and happiness to see you,
who were delivered with so much pain.
Moms sacrifice everything for their children.
You should never make them cry.
Kick your legs.
Kick your legs well.
That way.
Pappa, it's itching.
Keep aside your trick, okay?
No, just look at this.
It's swollen big.
Hey, Soman...
Look at this.
Waste has been dumped into the lake from Mysooran's factory.
Better not stay in the water for long, come up.
Honey, let's go.
Drink turmeric water after getting home.
No need.
Apply some virgin coconut oil.
Understand?
- Let's go. - Soman...
You are asked to go to Agriculture office immediately.
- What's the matter? - I don't know.
Ducks are being mass killed in Kuttanad,
where bird flu has been confirmed.
The disease has been spread in Thakazhi,
Nedumudi, and Purakkad panchayath.
K.C Bipin joins us with the details.
Bipin, is the disease being spread to many more areas?
What's the present condition at Kuttanad?
Shalini, birds are being killed as a precautionary measure.
In the past two days,
about 25,000 ducks have been killed.
Those died naturally will also come upto this number.
In Kuttanad, nearly 50,000 ducks have been killed, either...
3-4 years back, it was during a Christmas like this,
bird flu came and we became penniless.
It is in the 10th ward of Thakazhi Gram Panchayath,
the disease was confirmed first.
Ducks are there.
- Okay. - What's the matter?
Bird flu! You must have heard about it by now.
We are here to kill and burn those ducks,
within the radius of 1 km, where the disease have been spread.
Hubby, please come fast.
They are going to kill and burn our ducks.
- What's this? - Nothing, I'm there.
Sir, my ducks don't have any problem.
Dear Saji,
He is the NCDC Director from the Center,
and they are people from Animal protection department.
Then, why the people ought to protect animals are killing them?
Dear Saji,
You will get 200 rupees for a duck.
Just consider that you sold them wholesale.
Can't you sell them altogether?
I'm telling all these for your protection.
Phew! 200 rupees, it seems.
Who needs this petty cash?
Hey, ducks! Catch them.
Hey.
Hey, stop there.
What the hell did you do?
First, let the test reports from Bhopal come.
And later, you can burn them.
Soman, don't act like a hero.
It's after eating duck meat from here,
Kattiparambil Susi started vomiting, and got admitted in the hospital.
She might be pregnant.
Shut your mouth.
Let him do whatever he wants.
Just to destroy everyone.
Why do you want to turn this into a bird flu?
Just to scare the villagers.
Everybody knows that this is the play of meat mafia,
during the Christmas.
Soman,
I'm a person who works for the people over here,
day and night.
You will have to pay heavily for what you have done here.
You must not let the villagers die.
I know the condition of the rich and the poor
of this place very well.
I'll explain the same to the villagers neatly.
- Okay, explain it to them. - Sure, I will.
- We'll see. - Sure.
Okay, go.
Will it turn out to be an issue?
What issue?
Hi Soman, what's the occasion for serving Biryani?
Is it anyone's birthday today?
Oh! It means you don't read newspaper.
Have a look at the banner.
So, it's not chicken.
Duck, it seems!
Poison is better than this.
Not even my marriage is over.
That's when they are serving deadly duck meat.
Hold it on one side.
Does anyone who have common sense eat this?
Those watching this from outside will feel it as a joke.
In fact, it's our life that they are trying to ruin.
We don't have any other way to free people from fear.
Both of us inaugurate it by eating it.
Come on, Sir.
Move, move aside.
Sir, these people are crazy.
What's your intention, Soman?
If something happens to you after eating this,
others will attack the police,
saying that we didn't do anything about it.
Throw it away.
Sir, you have got the entire situation wrong.
Ducks died not because of any bird flu.
But because of the chemicals from his factory
got mixed with the lake water.
Nice!
So, the great scientist Isac Soman is saying that
the ducks died not because of bird flu.
Awesome!
Sir, the ducks died because the chemicals from
his factory got mixed with the lake water.
If all of the ducks in this place are killed,
the beef from the President's farm will get a high price.
This is his game.
Sir, I have said whatever I had to say.
Now, you may do whatever you like.
Soman,
You must stop it here.
If anything happens to anyone eating this,
I will be screwed.
I don't file a case against you only because
you are a government employee.
Hey, take all of this and get into the jeep.
In retribution, I will send an order from the center, okay?
Stretch your hands, and wait for it.
- Good morning, Sir. - Good morning.
How was yesterday's Biryani?
Sir has served some hot fried rice for you, inside.
Go.
Sir.
If you just play around conducting strikes,
who will complete the works over here?
Sir, I haven't taken much leaves.
I took leave after completing all of my works.
A government employee mustn't conduct a strike
against the government.
Did the government or I give an NOC to you?
Mysooran belongs to the ruling party.
Don't forget about it.
So, that's the matter.
You can't work here and fine tune the world.
You work in Agriculture department.
If I have stayed here while you were touring around
all the Agriculture offices of the state,
that's because I want to see the people of this place live better.
If that's not possible,
- I'll opt for voluntary retirement. - Soman...
If you take a wrong decision out of anger,
you can't make it up even if you try hard.
Sir, I had a loan taken by my father.
I closed it last week.
Now, let me see if I can make the world better or not.
What a strange guy is this!
Others are struggling to get a government job.
Soman.
What the hell have you done?
Who did you ask before leaving your job?
Did you ask Shalini at least?
I have my own likes, father.
Your likes!
Now on, how will my daughter and grand daughter live?
Only because you have a government job,
we gave our daughter in marriage to you, tolerating your madness.
They won't have any problem as I have opted for VRS.
They will continue living a luxurious life.
Luxury, it seems!
For him, eating saltless porridge is called luxury.
Dear, place this hibiscus flower between your Pappa's ears.
Shameless fellow!
Shalini.
No need of any explanation.
I can't agree that everything what you do is right.
Now on, I'm also going to take some decisions.
What?
I'm going to take up my dad's catering business.
You may look after our daughter, and sit at home.
Move aside.
Now on, all of us can sit in a round, and drink amla juice.
- Is it Soman? - Yes.
What happened to you?
When he heard that you are leaving the office,
he caught fever out of fear.
Prepare some tea for him.
No, give me some water boiled with Ajwain.
Okay.
Did you inform your family about VRS?
Yes, her father made a big scene.
Did you tell him anything back?
Why do we have to neck into unnecessary matters?
He was saying bla bla bla...
But this is a little too much.
You could do your things staying in the office.
I, leaving the office is a matter of joy to everyone.
Now on, I won't be there to make hullabaloo.
Amidst the chaos created by Mysooran and Sunny,
the only solace was your hullabaloo.
It's a good feeling to do away with
certain obligations, Chandu.
Yes, dad...
Yesterday night, the temperature just increased.
Also the breathing problem...
That's why he was shifted to the ICU.
No, you need not come.
He will be shifted to the ward.
Okay.
What did dad say?
He asked if he must come.
I said, 'no'.
He need not come.
I'm here, no?
Chandu's wife, right?
Please sign this.
- Do one thing. - I will talk to them.
You may go home, and come back later.
I'll go after he is shifted to the ward.
Please come with me.
I want to tell something to you.
It's duck fever, it seems.
Don't stay here any longer.
Heard that a 78 year old man died of Duck Fever in Ramangiri.
You may take them, and go back immediately.
We couldn't do anything.
Chandu passed away.
Come.
What's wrong?
He passed away.
What?
Chandu passed away.
Chandu...
I want to see him.
No.
No, I want to see him.
You needn't go inside.
I just want to see him.
Don't go inside, my dear.
Chandu...
For the attention of people living in Nedumudi Village Panchayath.
It is suspected that the reason for the death of Chandu,
who died at Mysooran's hospital,
and Thommikunju who lives in Ramangiri,
is H5NI, otherwise called as Duck Fever.
So, all of you must be vigilant.
Hey!
You, dog!
- Leave him. - Move aside.
You dog, didn't you give him dump advices and kill him?
Move, I say.
Move!
I'll kill you.
I want to see him.
Chandu...
Soman...
Hey, So... move, I say.
Move! Otherwise you will get hurt.
Leave me.
Get up, Soman.
Move! Move, I say.
- Please... - Soman.
I want to see him.
Allow me inside.
Let me just see him.
- Leave him. - Go away.
I'll kill him.
Move!
Dear Saji, let me just see him once.
- Leave me. - It's me who's telling you to go.
It's me who's telling you.
We didn't know that any of this would happen.
He is mad.
Will anyone who know you well tell this?
Alas!
O' God, how will I tolerate this?
What happened?
Somebody did it, and left.
Which son of a bitch did this?
The ducks are burnt enough.
Prepare some pickle. You can sell it next year.
You bloody scoundrel!
You pig, I'll kill you.
No, leave me.
What the hell are you going to do?
You will not do anything to me.
You won't even touch me.
What the hell will you do?
Come on.
Touch me if you dare to.
How dare you?
Come on.
Come on, I say.
What on earth?
How can someone beat another on the basis of some rumours?
Soman,
you need not go for the funeral.
What if somebody does something to you?
Soman,
You need to go to the police station with us.
Why are you taking him?
The video of Soman, and Chandu who passed away
eating biryani has become viral.
When he caught fever,
he didn't allow him to go to the hospital.
Dear sir, that was not done deliberately.
I'd told him not to go to the hospital.
Come, let's go.
Pappa...
Son, what nonsense have you done?
Sir,
he didn't do any of it with a bad intention.
Come on.
Just steam inhale with hot water containing salt and turmeric,
and drink some dry ginger coffee,
he will be fine.
He is not only my staff member,
but also my brother.
Would I recommend anything that is bad for him?
I have always felt that it would end this way only.
Let it be a lesson to all the rascals who advice people,
to become a hero.
It was such a hullabaloo he made over here.
Finally, he is happy when he let a poor guy die.
The case should have been filed on the basis of Indian Medical Council Act.
He would have been jailed with those provisions.
Just because a random guy gave a complaint,
do you have provisions to put someone in jail?
The complaint was not given by any random guy,
but Chandu's family.
Haven't you seen that viral video, advocate?
In that video, not only Chandu,
but Soman is also eating duck meat.
Anyone who has got common sense
will know the agenda behind this.
You may go now.
At least, from now on, mind your own business and live.
Enough!
Did you eat?
No, I'm not hungry.
I'll eat later.
If you don't eat food on time...
From now on,
kindly don't advice anyone and torture them.
He wouldn't get sleep if he doesn't neck into others' affairs.
Don't get upset.
He was one and a half years old,
when his father went to the Gulf.
When he came back after 8 long years,
he had heart problems.
He took medicines for 5 years.
As a result, he started having kidney problems too.
When my kid was 9 years old,
he wasn't going to school everyday,
but to hospital.
To give company to his father.
He would've not wanted others to have his ill fate.
May be that is why...
he is like this.
There was a day, I really wished if you were with me...
I don't know how many wives would be as lucky as I.
But...
You were beside me on the day our daughter was born.
You stood by me.
Don't we have to visit Mini?
Let's go now.
It got late when I came to know about the police complaint.
That's okay, Mini.
The temperature increased all of a sudden.
I asked him many times to go to the hospital.
But...
He had some dry ginger coffee,
and lied down under a blanket.
That morning, when he started shivering badly,
he was taken to the hospital.
By then...
Blood...
Happy birthday, India.
Thank you, mam.
How's George Sir? Shifted from ICU?
He's better.
Heard that he will be discharged next week.
I couldn't go and meet him until now.
Are visitors allowed?
Yes, Sir.
Sir...
Hi.
Happy birthday, dear.
Thank you, Sir.
- Happy birthday, dear. - Thank you, mam.
Happy birthday.
Thank you, Sir.
O' Sir...
Sir...
What happened, Sir?
- Sir... - What happened, Sir?
Sir...
Hello.
I'm India's mom.
Okay.
Okay, I'll tell him.
Where's Soman?
He's outside. What's it?
Dear Soman...
Mom...
Soman, dear Soman...
Please open your eyes.
Dear, please sign in this paper.
What for?
Soman will be shifted to the ventilator.
Oh! Today is our kid's 10th birthday!
O' my God.
O' God!
That means?
That means...
When the child is 10 years old,
the life of her father is at stake.
Father will perish.
Death is more or less confirm.
Anaphylactic Shock!
Say that in a layman's language.
He came with fever and body pain.
There's a painkiller called diclofenac.
The drug that is to be given as muscular injection,
was given by the new doctor, as IV.
That too, without even a test dose.
That means?
This will happen when a muscle drug is injected in the veins.
More worse things will happen if someone who come
for general practice before passing MBBS,
is sent for treating patients for financial benefits.
This is the maximum worse thing that could ever happen.
What shall we do now?
What is the name of the disease caused by ducks?
H5N1
Duck Fever.
That's enough.
He was having Duck fever.
You just have to support me.
For that, you need the diagnosis report from Virology lab.
On this barren agricultural land,
it is without any documents or papers,
this Mysooran built such a big hospital and set up.
Let alone a disease certificate.
Listen,
People must become frightened on seeing the patient's family cry.
That's when it becomes more colourful.
Understand?
You, come on.
No problem.
He is unconscious.
Oh, good!
Otherwise, we will have to inject some poison into his body as well.
You, come on.
"Arrest the killers who murdered Chandu."
"Arrest Mysooran and his accomplices".
"Take legal actions against the fake doctor."
"Arrest the killers who murdered Chandu."
"Arrest Mysooran and his accomplices".
"Take legal actions against the fake doctor."
"Arrest Mysooran and his accomplices".
"Arrest the merchants of death."
The most discussed Chandu's death is on a turning point.
We are watching Soman, an agriculture officer,
whose determination and different mode of striking,
is leading him to victory.
It is known that the case that started from
George Thomas' witness statement, later,
got strengthened with the emergence of more proofs.
The case that went forward on the notion that
Chandu was suffering from Duck fever.
However, due to the strong intervention of the Agriculture officer, Soman,
it is now revealed that Chandu was died due to the medical negligence
of the hospital staffs.
We came to know from the investigating officers that
both Mysooran, a political worker, and his accomplices
will be interrogated in connection with the case.
Soman has reached Nedumudi police station
along with George Thomas to give their statements
regarding the case.
Let's get into the details.
Sir... Sir,
What do you have to say on this outcome?
I came to know about it only because
George sir was unnecessarily kept in the ICU for 2 days.
Their own mistake is what put them in trouble now.
They thought that nobody will raise voice
against anything they do, no matter what.
That is the reason why they did all the crap until now.
This place will not improve with just one person's effort.
For that, all of your support is needed, especially that of you, media.
Getting money from politicians, and reporting selective news
and holding debates in favour of them, is not what media must do.
When you come across injustice anywhere,
we must come forward and protest without considering
caste, class or politics.
Especially you, the media people.
I have nothing more to say, thank you.
Sir... Sir...
Respected Education minister, Mr. George Varghese,
other dignitaries on the Dias,
parents,
teachers,
and my dear students.
You have invited me here as a guest, today.
Being here today is a matter of happiness to me,
for personal reasons.
How many of you know that this is my second birth?
If I, who might have died sometime ago,
am standing in front of you like this, today...
that is because of a smart girl among you.
She owns an interesting name.
India!
More fascinating is her way of life.
Sir, India is a girl who hasn't received primary education
for 9 years,
but wrote the entrance examination directly,
and made admission to a higher class.
I invite India to the stage on this occasion.
Come on, dear.
Come to the stage.
Go, my dear.
I'm proud of you, my girl.
Thank you for saving my life.
I'm a person who came back to life
by the artificial respiration provided by this girl.
Sometimes, India might not know about the importance,
relevance or science behind it.
Do you know what did you do that day?
I know, Sir.
My father had told me that it is called CPR.
Is it your father who taught you this?
My father teaches me many things that are not taught in schools.
This is not a small thing.
I request India's father to come to the stage.
Go, dear hubby.
Go, son.
Sir, I have known Soman for a long time.
He is a person who constantly involves
in all the social issues of this place.
You, the natives of this place
know Soman, and his modes of protest more than me.
Soman, please tell us about India, yourself, and your thoughts
in a few words.
Dear ones,
I'm a person who was defeated in many spheres of life.
I've been a laughing stock to my family and the people around.
I have got a lot of nick names.
Waste Soman! Mad Soman!
A lot more are there.
You might be knowing them more than me.
I have tried my best to live a life without causing harm
to the surroundings.
I've imparted a small part of it to my daughter as well.
Sir, I teach her everything on an application level.
That way, she can understand it better.
That is why she could do the CPR the other day.
I'll make it more clear.
Suppose, there is a situation of fire outbreak here.
What shall we do then?
What shall we do?
- What shall we do? - Run off in no time.
Soman, it's for that the cylinder is kept there.
Take it up, and put off the fire.
Okay.
How many of you sitting here know how to use
a fire extinguisher cylinder?
Our condition is this bad, Sir.
Education must include all of this.
Why do we need an education system
that doesn't incorporate the surroundings that we live in?
When the number of people who forget their
obligations and responsibilities increase in a place,
that place becomes unsuitable to live in.
When there's a bike accident,
there's no point in just blaming the
road contractor who has committed the fraud.
We must think about our irresponsibility
while not wearing a helmet.
Not only the hospitals that charge an exorbitant amount,
but also those farmers who use harmful pesticides
that causes cancer are to be considered as cruel.
The lies that you sow at one place,
will be reaped by ourselves at another place.
A person who sells adulterated milk
may be getting poison laced fish in return.
Nobody will bring us an utopian world
where all people love each other.
We ourselves have to build it.
When you start loving the mankind,
how could we remain irresponsible to them?
My scraper like side-whiskers remind me
of the responsibility that I have towards others.
Seeing this, many people have called me mad, old fashioned, etc.
I don't have any problem with it.
Any scraper will be sharp enough if it is honed properly.
Same way, the greatest quality of a human being
is his ability and wit to cut away the evil from the society,
and to sharpen the virtues and goodness of life.
That's what I believe.
That's only what I have left to tell everyone.
That's what I teach my daughter either.
I know that my belief will never fail.
Because, I believe in human beings.
Even though people fight with each other in the name of ego,
we have never forgotten to hold everyone together
under one umbrella during difficult times in life.
So, for the same reason,
we will overcome any difficult period in our lives.
'Human' is such a beautiful word.
A few years later.
"Rehabilitate those who became homeless in the flood."
"Protect the Western Ghats."
"Protect the wetlands."
"Ban illegal quarry mining."
"Rehabilitate those who became homeless in the flood."
"Maintain the order of nature."
"People's council to protect the nature."
- ''Long live.'' - "People's council to protect the nature."
"People's council to protect the nature."
What's his topic for today?
Soman says that it is because of the world wide lockdown,
that there was no flood during the Corona period.
That's just his belief.
He says that we must have a 1-month lockdown period
in Kerala, annually, for the nature,
and the world will look up to it as a model.
Yes! Possible! [Sarcastically]
Moreover, he has suggested to supply
one month's groceries to people for free.
Very nice!
The news updates:
The meteorological department has warned of
a heavy downpour in the State.
Red alert has been proclaimed in all the districts
except Thiruvananthapuram.
