Huh... What...
Why don't you kill me then?
Dip the holy twig in the water
Wear it on your ring finger
On the ring-finger
I wear my ring on this finger
Alright...
Take some rice, soak it, and place it there
Take the scutch grass twig,
soak it, and place it there as well
Started a while back?
- No, just now
Take some water,
invoking the seven holy rivers...
Which are..?
- Hm ?
Ganga,
Cauvery...
hmm...
River Nile?
Just place it here
Mix the rice with the curd,
and make fourteen balls
Invoking your father in your prayers,
place them one by one
along with the other offerings
But Madhavan, why fourteen times?
Kunjappan used to eat a lot,
fourteen might not be sufficient
I don't know, that’s why I am asking
- I think it should be 16
But...
Isn't that how it should be?
Isn't today the 14th day
after his death?
Death?
Did you see him die?
Then you tell me, how many days has it been?
- Ah!
Then you can put the blame on me…
Do whatever!
Volley it long... long ball, or else they'll score
- Pass it here!
Pass it along!
- Come On!!
Just missed!
Chuppa! Throw the ball back in
Prasannan, are you done here?
Just a moment,
we are about to lose
Come on boys,
back to positions
What’s up, Madhu?
You've been here a while now.
Lot of leaves, huh?
I quit the job,
Didn't work out
For you or for them?
- Chuppa!
I'll see you later
I am so out of form these days!
So, what is it?
I have got a new job
Go resign and return, as always!
Listen!
In Bengaluru!
Are you nuts?
Your Dad won't let you work even in Ernakulam...
let alone Bengaluru!
I think, I should take him
with me this time
Ah!
That's a good idea, Chuppa
- hm
But...
...we'll have to
present it tactically
The usual methods won't work
See,
Given the date the body was found and its condition,
this could be Day 14.
Which body?
Have you seen it?
Huh?
Eat... Eat as much as you can
He has ruined this too!
Alright! He is not dead.
The body was not his, either.
But he is dead to me.
Do you have a problem with that?
14 or 16...
...with or without curd,
you decide that for your own last rites
What I offer my dad,
is for me to decide
Why don't you have the snacks and leave quietly
instead of creating trouble?
I don't eat from outside
Why don't you just leave then?
Dad!
Hey Subramaniyan!
Take him away
Unbelievable!
- Just unbelievable!
What is unbelievable?
The fellow was planning to kill his father
So Kunjappan ran away.
Surely, he isn't dead
He dug up some dead body claiming it is Kunjappan's
and is performing the last rites
What he is doing is unbelievable!
- That too is unbelievable!
Uncle, the newspaper
Has your blood sugar gone up?
You look pale and thin
Uncle,
last night, there was a fantastic show
on the TV
"Crime Report"
At Kollam... an old man living alone...
...of approximately your age...
was gruesomely murdered by his neighbour
Living alone is not safe at all!
But I am not alone here
Uncle...
The lad has landed a job...
...in Bengaluru
A good salary of Rs 1 Lakh a month
You could move with him
and we can let this house out on rent
I can guarantee you a rent of ten thousand a month
Over there, nobody could clobber your head off...
You'll be safe!
Prasannan
Take up a job
that would let you sleep in your own house
No matter what
Dad, shall I?
Ground enough?
Yeah!
It's good to go
No, it’s not
This is why you
should not do this
Dad!
What job could I get here?
Jobs don't come riding on their own to you.
You need to look for them
Where are you going?
- Just to the play ground
If you don't mind losing,
join me for a game
I do mind losing
At least for a while?
May be at night.
I have some work now
Jobs don't come riding on their own, do they?
Aren't you going for work today?
I will. It’s not time yet
What time would that be?
- I've got many apprentices there
...they will manage.
It is a Pharma job after all
That is what you always say
Do I?
- Yes, often
No way!
There he is!
Are you taking your dad along to Bengaluru?
Did he get a job there too?
Yes, as a computer engineer!
- No joke, Bengaluru is a hub of engineers,
Let his dad too be one.
There are so many elderly engineers around
Old doctors and engineers are
the most sought after ones
Have you noticed?
- That's right
My dear Madhu,
I am not going anywhere.
A cup of tea, please
Just like me
Chuppan, can you go home immediately?
It’s urgent.
- What is it?
Your father had a fall
What happened?
He fell down while washing clothes
Bhaskaran, why would you live alone?
Why don't you get him married?
Move this bucket a bit
Hmm...
You're not taking the pills, are you?
You don't have to yell.
He is not deaf
Really?
I do
Bhaskaran, skipping the
pills won't do you any good
If something happens, everyone suffers
You do your job
Don't waste it
Why would I!
I don't have much to do here.
It’s a chronic disease
You never know when he will kick the bucket
We can only get him to
take his medicines on time
Get someone for the
household chores
How long will he do all this?
He is an old man
& get a job yourself.
Aren't you an electronics engineer?
Mechanical
You have no hope!
- Didn't I say so?
Prasananan...
We need a home nurse
- For you?
Not for me… for the household chores
and to look after Dad
Oh, that kind of nurse
It’s not the safest of ideas
No women are safe here, is it?
Why are you looking at me?
He meant home nurses cannot be trusted
They often steal things
There is nothing to be stolen,
but my dad
There is an agency in Perumba,
where you get good nurses
If you had such plans,
you could have told me
Dad! Come on
It is not that
I told you yesterday.
She is a home nurse
What should I cook for dinner?
What?
What would you like to eat?
Take her away
The kitchen is that way
Enough
Wow, tastes just like Dad's cooking
Because I made it
Sir, he did not let me do anything,
he did all the cooking
Is she a Poduval?
Mr. Bhaskaran Poduval,
What lies in Caste!
She is from a very reputed upper caste
family in Haryana
Her highly reputed upper caste family
is much higher than Poduvals
Isn't it ?
How long have you known her?
I met her today,
at the agency
hmm
I know you are not the type
What type?
She is pregnant
She has been vomiting continuously
Three months
- Congratulations!
So...
What do we do then?
If there is nothing to do, I'll leave.
Is that OK?
Not O-K, V-K...
I'm V-K Bhaskaran Poduval
You can call me Bhaskaran
You may leave
OK
That means alright in Hindi!
Oh!
Number seems unusual, might be some virus.
You could lose money
Hello!
Have I not told you not to ride a motorbike?
Are you taking your medicines
regularly as advised?
Dad, listen.
Please hear me out
I am 34 now. Look at my head...
I am losing my hair
Soon, I will go bald as
Bharat Gopi!
My classmates always tease me.
- Where are you going?
I have work to do
Listen, 'Mate'!
I have got yet another job
This time in a Japanese company.
I must go
So, what about me?
You come with me
I am not coming to Japan!
Those slanted eyes,
short-legged fellows - just like you
Everyone looks the same,
almost like the Chinese
Dad, the company is Japanese.
my office would be in Russia
Ah! That itself is dubious
Is there no space in Japan
that they set their office in Russia?
Frauds for sure!
Have your gruel and
look for a job here
Did you make me an engineer
to work here in Payyannur?
What else?
To send you to Russia?
It’s only a matter of four years
There are many Malayalees there...
...and other friends too.
I can visit frequently
So, if I die, my dead body will be kept in a
freezer until you come!
I don't want myself freezing in one of those boxes
Dad, stop fooling around please
If I don't take up this job as well
I will lose my mind and hang myself right here
No matter what you say
I will find a good home nurse, and take up this job
I repeat, employing a home nurse is
not a safe option
I suggest you try that woman
who is tending to Sreedharan's mother... Karthiyayini
Hey, not her
She is too old
I didn't mean it that way.
If you hire someone that old
you'd have to get someone to look after her
if she falls sick
Bhaskaran will be looked after by Karthiyayini and
Karthiyayini will be tended to by another nurse
The three of them in that house will be a sight!
Why would she need another person?
She is a home nurse after all
If something happens to her,
she will look after herself
Prasannan
- Yes!
Such a huge house for a single man?
There were many people here.
Some died and some went abroad
Still...
- What?
You can make extensions to a house whenever.
But can you remove them when the number of people decrease?
Come on in
How is it?
Is there nothing here?
But we are hiring you to make something
How do I make something with nothing?
Is there a mixer?
Or a grinder?
That’s the fun part!
Uncle does not like those machines.
Everything should be hand-made.
Not even a TV?
Whenever you feel like watching TV,
come over to my place
You can watch your TV serials on your smartphone
It will cost me some Gigabytes!
One more thing
Please remember, if you fall sick,
you will be your own home nurse too
and I will pay only for one of you'll
So why don't you'll catch up
while I go and bring them
Hello!
- Ah. Haven't seen you around in two days
Got into some trouble
I stitched a churidar
for this girl
It was a bit tight
Heard her brother was after me
So I was in hiding for two days
Hiding!
- Didn't even open the shop
Did you tell the cops?
- Nah!
Can't you see me reading?
Mani!
- Yes!
A tea for me, please
You want it strong, right?
- Absolutely!
Murali...
... heard that you are being replaced in the
temple committee, is it true?
Who told you?
- Rumors are doing rounds
You are of no use to the temple, they say
Did you put some cardamom?
- Why not! you are like a brother, right?
Is there any truth in it, Murali?
- Why don't you have your tea and leave?
Mani, I too want a tea…
but without the cardamom
Why?
- Do I look like your brother?
I think I have
seen her somewhere
She is our new tenant...
...from Wayanad
They moved here because of her daughter's studies
- Oh, okay
Let me take the news paper
Hope you remember the terms.
- I know
Can you get some tea?
- No, thanks!
You are at my stall for the first time
- The thing is my daughter is home alone
She will be fine.
A cup of tea won't take too long
The tea here is quite famous
Isn't it, Raghu?
- Of course!
Without sugar, please
- Alright!
"Do not use Soap in the temple pond"
Brother!
Aren't you Bhaskaran?
- Yes
I am Ramanan
So?
Didn't you take my 'Chandrika' soap?
- I did not take anything
A woman saw you taking it
Haven't you seen the sign there
reading soaps are not allowed?
I can't read Malayalam
I only have one. My wife bought it.
- Move over
My wife gave it to me
Only you were there.
Birds are not going to take it...
♪
I want my soap, please
I think your sugar
level has gone up again
Prasannan...
He has become thin as a rake
Karthiyayini...
Oh Come on... Karthiyayini!
Huh!
You said there was going to be one guy
Yes, there will be only one person... "Bhaskaran"
I will leave in a bit and Subramaniyan will leave tomorrow
or else, I will leave now
This spread is only because its the first day
Enough
Is she too from an ‘upper caste’?
Go ahead! Don't worry.
My father is a pure Brahmin
Karthiyayini, we need to talk
- You tell me
Dad is particular about somethings... like
He doesn’t like food ground in the mixer or grinder,
he wants his tea and medicines on time
He is temperamental
So I must keep my voice down and never talk back
Moderate salt and no sugar
and no singing.
Isn't that it?
How did you know? Did Prasannan tell you all this?
- No need of telling all these
I have come across many a demons.
He is barely the worst
So, that’s that then. Peace.
You can fly off to Japan or Russia
or wherever in peace as well
Steel plates don't break
Dad...
Such an opportunity may not come again
It hurts to leave
you by yourself
That's not true
If you feel what you are doing is right,
then you must go
Really?
Hmm
I can't tie you up
You are not a cow
♪ ♪
Karthiyayini, pack those chilly fryums
He'll get those in Russia too
Uncle, are you going to Russia too?
Sure! He is at the right age for that
Then who will take care of the cow?
- Is the cow the problem?
Of course!
Cows are a major problem now
Is it a problem there?
- No
To a place where you cannot get
a bottle of good old ayurvedic oil...
Nobody needs to take any trouble for me
I'm not going anywhere,
and I don't have any problem
So those who go to Russia have a problem?
Come on Prasannan!
- Oh, I did not mean you
I was wondering about
international diplomacy
Only those who do not have the
courage to stay, flee their homeland
Dad! There are women around
There is very little and I am not sharing any of it.
Women... Like I care!
Apply it inside!
Meant for exterior use only
Unbelievable!
- Its okay
He does not have any bad intentions
You don't right?
Look at you, you are laughing!
Such a nice smile!
Let me take a picture
Never seen you laugh so much
Smile again
You pea-brained giant!
How come I was not informed that the IC is not in supply!
With this kind of irresponsible behavior
we are not going anywhere forward
What’s wrong with you?
You should be more meticulous
about things like these

Hello
Hi
Indians have been independent for a while now.
Does she not know? God! Is she going to attack me?
Subramaniyan, right?
- Yes, yes
- Hi, Hitomi -Technical coordinator
You are a Malayalee, right?
Yes, yes
I knew as soon as I saw you!
Malayalam!
How do you know Malayalam?
I am born and brought up here,
but my dad is a Malayalee
We knew
What did you'll know?
That’s his name! V-E-N-U
- Venu!
- ..and my mom is from Japan
- International
Funny
Even though I was born and brought up here,
in my heart I am a Malayalee
Papa raised me so
Your fluency in Malayalam suggests so
Thank you
I was waiting for someone to speak Malayalam to
Have you been to Kerala?
- No, Subramaniyan
Never got a chance
Dad is no more, and there is
nobody else back home
What happened to your dad?
He was an Alzheimer’s patient
So... how did you take care of him?
We had a home nurse
After work, I would hang out
and get home late, Subramaniyan
Call me Chuppan, my nickname.
That'll be easier since its not much of a tongue twister
We Malayalees are so funny

[DIALOGUE FROM A TV SERIAL]
Hey!
What’s this?
What happened?
Is this food even edible?
I had a headache yesterday
I lost my focus!
Kindly bear with this today
You are on medications
From now on, I'll cook my own food
You only do the dishes
and the laundry
Right!
What am I... your servant?
Don't you know I am a woman!
What if it hit my face?
Huh!
What do you want?
- A little Sambar
Give him some Sambar
Prasannan!
- What happened?
Bhaskaran has been cutting rope all morning
- Which rope
He's got the loosies
Loose motions could be fatal at his age
Give him some Gelusil
Must be the food!
Did he eat out recently?
Last night's dinner was from here,
Rice and Sambar
and seems like Sambar is finding its way out his colon!
Sambar?
- No
No, thanks!
So, you saw it?
- Saw what?
the Sambar...?
You think I have nothing better
to do than analyze his shit?
He gave his commentary from inside the toilet,
while also abusing you
It's out of care
Could you be a little less crass in the morning?
Ruined the whole day!
- Can't call Shit as Cheese right? Can I?
When you said Home nurse,
I thought it must be a woman
He was Papa's best friend
Even after growing up, he always said
'Be careful' when I left home
Even though he was bedridden,
I always drew strength from him
Our strength always comes from
other people's fear for us
Prasannan, I am at a... mourning.
Can I call you back?
There are mournings in Russia too?
What is it?
Uncle isn't too well these days
- What happened?
Karthiyayini is not taking care of him well
Then... we should find someone else
I did try that, but they are all the same
It’s waste of money
See if you can visit for a bit
He'll feel better
I'll take care of things in the meanwhile
All well?
I am thinking of going back
Look, Kyoto Dynamics is very happy with
your performance...
..and they have some plan for you
So you have to stay here
Think about it
I have to go
Dad is all alone,
and he needs my support
Good decision... Good
Very good.. It’s our responsibility
to look after our parents
But why would you waste your life in that village
doing a job someone else could do?
Chuppa! Its rush hour at the hotel,
so I couldn't come to the airport
Yeah! haven't heard that one before
That's a lot of luggage!
Don't think we can
take it in ourselves
Hey, Babu
Lend a hand, could you?
Lucky I spotted him
We'd have had to hire a porter otherwise
- True
Straight ahead
Hey!
God...!
I am off
Your father becomes a monster on seeing me
Such a nice gentleman otherwise
That is it.
You go to hell! I am leaving
Doesn't give me a moment's rest
For 4000 rs... He thinks he can get a Duke
to look after himself
Wait a minute...!
That's your father right?
You hired me, didn't you?
Well, find someone else!
I am out of here
That is the fourth one in two weeks!
Give it
Driver, bring that box too, please?
Why this unexpected visit?
Thought I'll surprise you, Dad!
Hmm
So, I'll get going then.
- Why would you not stay for tea?
Thought I'll surprise you, Uncle!
Ah
What is this?
Filling up a form for
the agriculture office
You are writing across the margins.
It’s time you got rid of these glasses
It'll be worse without glasses
Not like that. I mean,
you need to change this to a more powerful one
Now that you are back...
I am on a visit
I have even booked my return tickets
Get me some warm water
Dad!
Come here for a moment
What?
Hey! What on...
- Dad... Wait!
What the hell is this?
Hello, Mr. Bhaskaran!
I am Version 5.25 by Kyoto Dynamics,
Good evening, glad to meet you
This is the new home nurse,
I was talking about
When are you going back?
I am...
- Leave tomorrow and take this with you
Uh-oh
Dad... Dad
Just say it you cannot look after me
Don' try to do your 'duty'
This metal man is the last thing
I want in my life
Dad, look at it like a human.
Someone who obeys just you
I don't need any such woman...
..or man here
Consider it a child...!
I am a burden for my own child,
and I must do with a machine child
You don't like mixers, grinders,
fridges, phones, or TVs
or humans
or a robot even!
How are you going to survive, Dad?
Because I lived like this,
you are here and you could make these things
Only time will tell what kind of kids
you will have
What should I do? You tell me
Do you take my permission
for everything?
Did you ask me when you went to Russia?
Or hire a home nurse?
Huh!
For whom is this performance?
What are you talking about?
It’s my duty, right?
Love is not a duty,
It’s a sort of knowledge
Copy that
This is your problem,
First you yell...
and then deliver a lecture or movie dialogues
- Have you ever thought of me?
I haven’t slept peacefully after
I left you here alone
Each time the phone rings, I get anxious.
You know?
I will try to know
There you go!
So, the problem isn't me.
It’s your anxiety about me
You should be treated,
not me.
I'll stay here...
Cook you breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday
The evening tea as well
What now?
Forget what I said
Don't be upset.
Go back tomorrow itself
Go resign the job and come back
Good God!
Good morning, Mr. Bhaskaran!
Some tea?
Have it, Dad.
He is from an upper caste in Japan
Mr. Subramaniyan, would you
like to have some tea?
Mr. Bhaskaran, tea
Didn’t I tell you, I don't want it?
No, you did not.
You just walked away silently
That means 'No'
Copy that
What should I do with this tea?
How about you bake a cake with it?
Sorry, wrong command.
Can't do that with tea
Then you drink it
Robots don’t drink anything
I will kill him
You can kill me but "I'll be back"
What should I do with the tea?
Pour it over my head
A Robot would never harm its owner,
unless it is forced to.
Then you will know who I am
Very bad
Where is this from?
He cooked it
No, thanks
That’s my room,
this is the study
and this one is for Pooja
Who is Pooja?
Pooja... the room where...
the room for Pooja
Who is Pooja?
Ah! See...
I knew he was a creep!
How is 5.25 doing?
Would have been perfect for me.
I doubt if Dad will use it
Please make it happen and come fast.
We all miss you
OK
Ash
Well, that he knows
That's ash from the
firewood we burnt yesterday
We keep that
out in the morning
Can be used as fertilizer for plants
Copy that
See Dad...
Its a fast learner.
Nobody knows everything by birth, right?
Right?
Dad!
Hey!
Who kept these out?
Mr. Bhaskaran,
please don’t shout
Your blood pressure will increase
which could result in an increase
in the flow of blood to the brain cells
causing either a brain hemorrhage
or a block in the heart
inducing a cardiac arrest
Who kept this there?
Found them when I was cleaning the room
Since ash could be used as a fertilizer...
Only one us can live here.
You or me
What have you done?
That was my mom and grandpa in those urns!
We were meant to immerse them
That will surely kill them
Parents of busy kids will lie
around forever in urns
Again!
Is Subramaniyan really busy?
He is completely free
Ask him, ask him again
I'll shove this in your mouth

..for the incarnation of Lord Siva
No devotee should die anymore
What’s the matter?
Look, don’t get mad
- Hmm
Your father is not dead
I saw him at
Bhaskaran’s house, wearing a helmet
I had a feeling that the body was not his
Vinu, your father Kunjappan
is still alive
Wait a sec
You disgraceful scumbag of a father...
...you are destined to die at my hands
You will not kill anybody with
your helmet ever again
Didn't you hear? Kunjappan is back.
He is in Bhaskaran's house
Vinu's father Kunjappan was one of those psychopaths.
He would steal in people's house wearing a helmet
Whoever spotted him
was bludgeoned to death
When Vinu learnt this and threatened him, Kunjappan fled.
A blood bath is certain today

Wait...
Stop...
let me have a look first
What is it?
Uncle, has that Psychopath
Kunjappan come here?
Psychopath?
- Babu says, he saw a man in a helmet here
Mr. Bhaskaran, tea
What is this, Uncle?
That...
...is my son's friend
He is looking for a job here
Will be here for a few days
Good morning!
- Hello!
So, Uncle...
this was what was in the box!
Did it come in pieces?
Did he assemble it here?
Can it do all jobs?
Who knows!
I know...
I can do all kind of jobs
What is your name, Sir?
-I am Robot, Android Version 5.25
Robert!
You must be a Christian
I'm Prasannan. I am a Poduval.
He is my uncle.
Glad to meet you!
Come!
Robot!
So actually...
This is not Kunjappan,
Since Uncle is not well...
and Subramaniyan is very busy in Russia.
So he brought this to help out Uncle
His name is Robert
Does it have WiFi?
- Don't think so
I think it’s Android
Nah, must be Windows
Now, if you'd like you can take a selfie
and then please leave
Doesn't he look like
Kunjappan from behind?
Come, let’s take a selfie
- Please wait for your turn!
Did you hear?
Bhaskaran has gotten a
robot to take care of him
Really?
He makes tea, cooks meals,
does the laundry, mops the house...
It can even clean
his shit after him
and feed him
- Feed him the shit?
No you fool! Proper meals
This is against our culture.
- Murali, you think it can stitch?
Maybe, it does.
But it cannot fix the buttons for sure
They say it can read minds
- And we cannot even read the written word!
Is it a male?
- Of course
Is it a male?
- Of course
Android Kunjappan.
So, definitely a male
Android Kunjappan.
So, definitely a male
Don't goof up this time.
Make sure I am in focus
Sir, we are from the Kannur News.
We heard about the Robot
Come on in
Robert!
Ah... TV news reporters!
Robot looks quite old
- Hey, this is my uncle. Not the robot.
Oh Sorry!
Yes?
Sir, we are from Kannur Vision.
We heard about the robot.
Who brought it here?
My son.
- Can we meet him?
He is in Russ.. err ..Japan
Is that him?
- Cut... Cut
That's Arnold Schwarzenegger!
Mr. Bhaskaran!
That's Robert
A call from Subramaniyan
Dad, hows everything there?
Well, I have lost my piece of mind
Move over.
Hello Sir, what do you do?
Please leave my Dad alone.
Don't create a ruckus there
Please everyone just leave
Let them do their job, Subramaniyan

We don’t need a
newspaper from tomorrow
It's not for you to decide!
You can call me names or abuse me,
but don’t stop the newspaper
Only someone who reads the newspaper
knows its joy
You read to gain knowledge, not joy
I like to read it when I am on the pot
Will you come in there
too with the 'knowledge'
Why not?
Huh! Have you no shame?
Of course, not
You come from a place where people
clean their asses with paper
Why would you have shame?
Shame? What is it?
Bhaskaran, I've got to go.
Lots of houses to cover
May I help you?
How do you know Babu?

Can you get information on anyone?
Anyone who has a Facebook account
What about Prasannan?
He has no Email, Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram,
Whatsapp, or Skype.
No Google search results either
Prasannan does not exist.
There is no evidence that
such a person is alive
There is worm in it

Dad!
Ah... When did you come?
Do you get it now?
Technology can bring people closer
Nothing new in peeping toms
looking into other people's bedrooms
Get out!
How's it going?
He is quite the grumpy old man
Thankfully, he hasn't torn it apart yet
Nice
May I help you?
No, I got it
I was built to look after you, it’s my duty
You are built to deceive me
Love is not duty, its an emotion
You told Subramaniyan that love
is knowledge, right?
Yeah...
I mean... emotional knowledge is love
You won't get that.
It is delicate and has many layers
Where are you off to?
To find you a suitable bride.
Why?
Going to pay the electricity bill
That could be done from here
The electricity office won't come here.
We have to go to it
You can pay it online
Does he never change his clothes?
His son makes so much money
Can't he just get him
some decent clothes?
Man maketh Money. Money doesn't maketh man
Either ways, you got to work, right Madhu?
Hi Bhaskaran!
Hey, you look like a squirrel
who just lost his nuts
More like a squirrel
whose 'nuts' were cut away
Yeah, looks like that
Looks like I might have to
quit this job and return
The robot does not
seem to excite Dad at all
The robot is not meant to do
anything exciting anyway
Enough, we have to leave
Hello
- I have been trying to reach you since forever?
Shall I call you back?
I am little busy now
Nothing much to say when you call back.
Uncle had a fall
That is all there is to say,
even if you call back
Hello... hello
Where's Dad?
- Electricity office
Idiot...!
He has met with some accident,
go look for him
Copy that
Who is there?
Mom
Yes?
What?
There is someone in the yard
It must be some dog or cat
You scared me
Hello Ms. Seetha
Why are you here?
Mr. Bhaskaran has been missing
I came in search of him
Here?
I had to stop because my battery is running low
Battery Low, Battery Low
B-a-t-t-e-r-y L-o-w
Mom, let’s keep it here
You don’t know how I manage the rent.
Send him back
Let me check my mail. Do you have WiFi?
- Of course
We'll be accused of stealing it
You won't even take an internet connection
At least let me keep it for a while!
How am I even going to get a job!
When you start earning,
you can get whatever connection you want
Send it away before I lose my cool
Battery charged sufficiently,
thank you
Mr. Bhaskaran
Is that thing a show piece?
Isn't it installed for a purpose?
Where is it?
Sleeping?
Oh, you are back!
Where were you? Roaming around?
Sir, you need to be proactive
and take responsibility
Have you put on weight?
You must be eating well
Luckily that drunkard Babu found him
Imagine, if he wasn't around...
That said, the robot here is
better than your son in Russia
Subramaniyan is too busy
to even talk on the phone
Lucky that I am
not an Engineer
Or my father would have
died in the gutter
Damn!
Uncle, the restaurant is not locked.
I'll get going
A call from Subramaniyan
What happened, Dad?
I had a fall
Why did you have to go by yourself?
You should have just told him
When are you visiting next?
- Dad, I'll...
Signal lost
All kids in the world manage to lose

Bro, Subramaniyan’s company
seems to be a famous one
He must be drawing a fat salary
Of course, must be around
Rs. 4-5 lakhs a month
Why does that bother you?
Five lakhs!
That’s a lot more than I imagined
I should have chosen Engineering too
Brothers...
What would be the cost of that robot?
May be... around Rs.2-3 Crores
Crores!
We need to take life more seriously
Need to get a job
Too late to begin now.
When will you have a Crore!
You know Madhu...
...Subramaniyan & I were classmates
Can't believe that snotty kid grew up to
become a rich engineer in Russia
Would it have helped if we were snotty too?
Can't you see we are having a
serious discussion here, you morons?

Did you speak to Dad?
- Yeah, yeah. He is fine
It is difficult to not
have a mother around
Did you ever miss your mom?
My dad never gave me a chance to miss her

Oh! Is that why they got divorced?
So funny!

Whatever you may be.
Non-Hindus are not allowed inside the temple
My son built him, and he lives with me,
moreover he believes in Hinduism
I have my doubts
Then how do you perform the rituals?
Not that. I have my doubts about this fellow here.
Where is the proof that he is Hindu?
[RECITING A VERSE FROM BHAGAVAT GITA
IN SANSKRIT]
Got it?
Don't make a scene. Stop him not!
Let him proceed.
Its Ramayana
Chapter 3, 4th edition
"Whatever you see as beautiful,
glorious, or powerful, know it to..."
"...spring from but a spark of
my splendor..."
...as mentioned in Bhagavat Gita
Chapter 10, Vibhootiyogam, Verse 41
Bro, that one isn't
from the DC comics world
Bhaskaran, kindly understand
This machine will spoil
the sanctity of the temple
He is a Hindu
- You don't get to decide that yourself
But Murali, Hindus don't have Baptism...
Hang on... Communists have no
say in religious matters
If a stranger claims he is your brother,
will you just let him in your house?
Would you?
- No, I won’t
Then you keep off
Must he open up his chest and
show that god resides within him?
What a miracle!
Good lord!
Oh! Lord Hanuman, bless us!
Railway station
Don’t make a scene, Mom.
Delhi is not that far
Call me as soon as you get there
I'll see you online tomorrow
Take care of Mom, please
Saudamini, you shouldn’t be
crying now
This is a big moment in her life.
Cheer up!
Let her cry.
Let her cry all her pain out
Kunjappan...
- Yes, Mr.Bhaskaran
You think Saudamini is on Facebook?
If she is...
Searching for Saudamini
No man... none of those
That's the one!
She is the one... Saudamini
Not bad!
So Facebook is basically
used to stalk people
This should have been invented years ago
Mom, I have got to go now
I am starving
You haven't eaten yet!
Why don't you ever eat on time?
I need to rush before the mess closes
- Yes, please go have your food
Oh, and hows Facebook working out for you?
- Facebook, bah! Go on now
Facebook Message from 'Sathyan'
"I always wanted to tell you how much I was in love with you.
Never had the courage"
In Japan, you can express your
love freely and openly
Doesn't work like that here.
We either rape or burn the girl first
I am too old for any of these
In Japan, you can get married to whomever you like
and whenever you want
When did I tell you I want to get married?
And stop going on about Japan...
It is small enough for four men with shovels on either side
to dig up and throw it into the ocean
Is that the case with India?
The country is huge and so are our problems
There you can get married
even if you are old
or even live together
without getting married
Damn, I wish I was born there!
Here marriage is nothing but
a license to buy groceries
Hmm
Hey...!
Even Chuppan does not know about Saudamini
You are increasingly
behaving like a typical Malayalee...
please don't start gossiping
about this to others
Of course not
Looks like Bhaskaran Poduval
used to have a one-sided love affair
Oh.. Really!
Like a loan given to Vijay Mallya, a
non-performing asset
Oh, nice!
How much is this?
Rs. 150
Two
Ten?
Ten
Five..
How much?
So the change?
You still owe me a rupee
Yes, that I will give you next month
We don't need the newspaper from tomorrow
What?
- I read online now
What about the joy of
reading an actual paper?
Well, there is joy in this too
My eye sight is poor
On a screen,
you can zoom in and make it larger
Kunjappan... a merciless death awaits you!
upon the good lord!
You don't get away
with hurting someone in the press
Better check your horoscope!
Sir, snacks
Serve it to him too
He doesn’t drink
We make offerings to god as well,
even if they don't actually eat it
Keep it there
Thank you
We need his time
and date of birth
and his sun sign
Hi, Dad
I need the his time of birth
What?
- Well, I need it along with the Date
I don’t know,
give me a moment
Do you know Kunjappan's date of birth?
You mean date of manufacturing?
8 January 2019
08-01-2019
Those around him, including you,
only have to gain from his company
However, this is not a good phase for him
He may have the wrath of many foes.
Perhaps causing some stomach problems
Maybe a virus?
Like what affects mobiles and computers?
His eyes could be affected as well.
Maybe a scratch on his lenses?
Avoid long distance travel.
Your family goddess seems to be unhappy
Nothing to worry.
Everything has a remedy
Make an offering at the
Payyanur temple and...
...perform a manikin ritual at the
Chamundi temple in Adukumala, Wayanad
As soon as possible.
There have been positive results
Stay positive
Hi Uncle!
Where did you'll go to?
To the astrologer
- Why?
Got his horoscope checked
Got a sanctified amulet for
him to ward off the evil eye
Lets go
- Is everything...
... else alright?
Hey!
Get in quick
You could catch a cold!
I would have taken those
Why take a chance
Didn’t you hear the Astrologer?
There is threat to your life even
Who do I have if
something happens to you?
Subramaniyan, Prasannan
They'll get old and die
and then who'll I have?
The cessation of life processes
that occurs only in living organisms
for various reasons including
aging, suicide, murder
disease, accident,
and starvation...
...is known as Death.
This is not applicable for a Robot.
Many who thought so have gone on to
become photographic memories
and roadside busts for crows to shit on.
You won't be different either
One can erase me.
My memory could be deleted
Then?
- Then you can sell me as scrap
You can change the password
and add a fingerprint
After that,
you alone can erase me
Nobody can see my activities
unless you approve
Otherwise?
Subramaniyan can watch everything you do
through this camera
All of it?
- Of course
Is my lunch ready?
- Just a moment
There is no curry.
Get some from Prasannan's hotel
As always
How many dosas are there?
- Six
Yeah, don't reduce that now
You've been brushing forever
- Breakfast is not ready yet
Raghu, you have got the lyrics wrong
- Will keep that in mind
Always sings it wrong,
good for nothing
Oh Lord! Stay with me and guide me
Raghu...
Is the blouse ready?
It will be ready in a moment,
you take a ride and come back
Isn't that what you always say
- Go and come son
It better be ready by the time I return.
Else, I will burn the bloody shop down
Raghu...
- Bhaskaran!
I need to stitch a shirt
- Why not?
Dosa
- Put it back. It's his lunch
Not for me, it’s for him
I have grown to stitch a shirt for a robot,
I am honored!
Shoulder 34; Arm 50; Chest 44;
Waist 28; Height 40
What a memory!
I need an assistant here,
are you game?
There is no need
for him to work
Mind you, my father has
made enough money already
Isn’t it better if he earns something?
Who will look after him when he gets old?
- I will
What did you say your height was?
- 40â€
Come after a couple of days
- Okay
Where is the cloth?
[SINGING]
Is it done?
Get the money from my Dad.
- Alright!
Are you drunk today as well?
How did you know?
You seem to have dressed for work today
Where are you going?
For Radha's daughter's wedding.
I'll have lunch there
I am starving
- I haven’t cooked, you come with me
I am not invited
Neither am I.
But I am attending
You got a new blouse made for
a wedding you weren't invited to!
Do I go without one
because I was not invited?
A portion of curry please
Curry & Blouse, eh?
Where is that packet?
I ate it
What!
You ate my new blouse?
You try to seduce my wife with
Dosas, you scum!
I know she is pretty,
but she doesn't need your dosas
Stop it!
- I did nothing, Kunjappan swapped it
Leave me
He will die by my hands,
you mark my words
Let it go
Why should I mark his words?
- Right
Who is Mr.Bhaskaran Poduval?
- It’s me
We are from the municipality
- Hello!
We have got a complaint against you
Do you have the license to run this?
I don't need a license, I don't run it
It runs on its own
Listen, you need sanction from the
government to run such machines
Will you take the responsibility
if it attacks somebody?
Prasannan...
What happened, Uncle?
- Call Chuppan
The municipality
took Kunjappan away
Why do they need a robot?
Quick...
Hi Prasannan
- Chuppan...
Some ‘Robot catchers’ from the
municipality have taken Kunjappan
Apparently, we need a license
The municipality?
Is Dad around?
- Talk to him
Hello?
- Dad, what happened?
Kunjappan was home as usual,
they came and took him
Don't worry Dad
They can't take him away.
Nothing will happen
Go home...
Kunjappan will come home soon
But how could they take that kid
It's not safe these days
What if they do something to him?
He can’t even cry
I don't think I can be at peace without him
Dad...
Here
What happened?
I think he has begun to
think of the robot as his son
The world has gone rogue ever since
the computer and the internet came along
Now the people are going to use
this Robot to help them with their crimes
Switching a dosa with a blouse is a cyber-crime?
There wasn't even in any curry in it!
I don't know all that
Get an undertaking from the
police that they take responsibility
We'll see then
Will they give it?
- How would I know? Ask them
Why is the communist party interested
in helping the damned Robot?
So many home nurses
are going to lose their jobs to it
There you are wrong
For issues like property disputes,
infidelity, loan-sharking etc
...the party has mediating for years now
That’s how it works here
Sir, there is a message
from the Prime Minister's office
Officer!
Did Charles Shobaraj
use the internet to commit his crimes?
Did Sukumara Kuruppu use
WhatsApp for his murders?
Did those 42 men rape that 16-year-old for
40 days in Suryanelli with the help of...
... Google?
Yes... Google?
Did Lord Krishna have 16008 wives,
because he had a Facebook account?
Exactly!
It’s because of
your incompetence!
What! What did I do?
What kind of a brother-in-law are you?
Useless!
Listen... sit.
What can I get you to drink?
I don’t want anything.
- You stopped drinking?
The wig...
Why did you let it go?
This was sent by his son.
The sanction from the PM to use the robot
I had no option
- Our Prime Minister?
Who else? Only we don't have access to him
Isn't he always abroad!
He signed an MoU in Japan to import
50 such Robots across the next 5 years
This is a trial run
How is that possible? Wasn't it on
a 4-month trial? You must return it
Sir, I'll buy it somehow
I can understand your situation, but that
machine isn't for sale. I could lose my job
This is surely the handiwork of Babu
Now, nobody can do anything.
Let alone Babu
The mail my son sent was
that powerful
Bhaskaran,
How much is your son’s salary?
Why?
It'll be fun to know
Knowing won't be fun.
Earning will be
I don’t think he will return it
What the hell! Don’t you understand?
Go, get it back
I need the machine back as is.
I don’t care if you have to kill your father
Hey, Chuppan stop!
Two out of the four machines
that went for the trial run have failed
If anything happens to your father,
we are done
I am saying this for
your own good
Stop it!

Some of my things are there
I'll clear those
Hey!
Don’t take that
That may not fit you
Keep it in Dad’s room
Dad, can I get some tea?
He can make it
Where are you going?
To help him. He does not know
where the mustard seeds are
Why does he need Mustard seeds for tea?
Don’t you want Dosa?
Why'd he need them for Dosas?
You don't want chutney either?
All I asked is for tea & he'll make it.
You please sit here
Hmm
Hmm...
nice house
Kunjappan...
No messages since a week!
Whose message?
Sauda... err... Karan... Saudakaran,
your maternal cousin - Sudhakaran in fact
He is my Facebook friend now
How long will you be here?
As long as you want
Won’t you lose your job?
Didn't you say that
our hometown is the best
...and that I must stay back
and look after you
So I may not go back
Why?
Nowadays, it is not easy to get another job
Kunjappan is taking good care of me
Right!
I know it is not the same
as me being here
Moreover...
...no matter who is looking after you,
I am always anxious
So I have decided...
Will she go back alone?
She too is staying
We have decided to get married
Congratulations
Come
Why is it with you all the time?
Switch it off for a while
You think its a machine
to just switch it off?
Let him take rest
I want to listen to some music
The situation is more serious
than we thought
Should we just shut it down?
No no...
We just need to be careful
If we take him forcefully,
it will be a shock
We should convince him
I am sure he will understand
He seems like a nice man.
We should be with him always
Hi Kunjappan!
Who is this?
Is this a new Robot?
She is my friend
Thank you
Mr. Bhaskaran,
we need to talk in private
What?
Something he hasn't even told his son
I need to use the loo
What?
- The toilet...
Come... I need to use it
Good bye, Subramaniyan
This is what I was telling you about.
I think he is losing his mind
In 35 years, I don't think he
even prayed for me once
And he has gotten
its horoscope checked
Well, no point blaming him
Who gives an old man
such a toy?
Babu, I am thirsty!
- You just had a drink
Thirsty for revenge, you fool!
- Oh
I will finish off that
bloody Kunjappan
That very name drives me crazy
"New voice message"
I moved out of Payyannur
They have plans to rebuild that house
Could not tell you as I was in a hurry
I knew you will find out anyway
Kunjappan...
Why have they come now...
Chuppan and that Hitachi...?
Hitomi
Whatever! I don't care.
She is not your mother right!
Why are they here?
No idea
Hi..
What are you doing here?
I am going to cook from today
Not just cooking...
I am going to be
taking care of you from now on
I need half a glass of tea
I told you half a glass
You drink whatever
quantity you want
Whatever I want, is what I asked for
Couldn't you give me just that?
Come...
Where are you going?
- I need to bathe
What do you need him for?
Should I go alone? What if something
happens to me there!
You stay here,
I'll come with you
You stay here
Grated coconut is kept
on the counter
The grinding stone is
outside, grind it well
Only then it tastes well
Mustard seeds should
be fried properly
But don't burn it either
Come
Hey, where are both you going?
I am going to have a bath
He is coming along to wipe my head.
Got a problem?
Nothing, I was just asking
Why are you trying to embarrass me?
Embarrass you?
If that’s the case, having wiped
your head for 10-12 years...
I should have died of embarrassment
Where does he get the money to buy
new robots every week?
Is the Robot on leave today?
Who did you say made this?
Hitomi
Do you think I’m I am a fool?
Huh?
That piece of metal scrap took care of me,
for the last 3-4 months
Despite all my antics,
...he fed me, he bathed me, made me laugh
Never disobeyed me
or talked back to me
...nor did it scare me, till now
Didn’t you tell me to treat it
as a child and teach it everything?
When you went abroad...
...it was he who made me
feel alive
For you...
he might be just a machine
that does household chores
but for me he is my son
If he goes, who will stay here?
Hitomi?
You?
Since how many years have I been asking you
to immerse your Mother's ashes?
hmm?
If you don’t even have time for that,
how will you look after me?
Even if you stay here...
and If I became
bedridden...
you wouldn't even be able to
clean out my crap
You will find another home nurse
I call you to play chess
so we can have a conversation
but you have a problem
with that too
I am not saying these to make you cry
He cannot replace you...
...neither can you replace him
Hey!
You...!
What are you doing Dad?
Look what she is doing!
Dad, stop it
No, I won't!
No matter what you
say, we need to return it
We were given
it for four months
We can’t keep it any more
Neither the government,
nor the company will allow it
I don't have
the permission for it
All the other robots from
this batch have failed
This will harm you for sure
So many fathers have been
murdered by their children
Does that stop anyone
from being a parent?
Does it?
Do you value this machine more than me?
When did I ignore you, Dad?
When I was idling away here with you,
Have you shown this affection to me?
This machine will definitely kill you Dad
He won’t do any harm to me.
It’s only in your imagination
Papa, please understand
This is only a machine
programmed by somebody
This is not like us, humans
Aren’t we the same?
Programmed by someone!
I call it destiny
you call it programming or
whatever the hell you like
We left everything behind
to come and look after you
I have to return it.
Or none of us will be at peace
I can be arrested. This is a criminal case
I will live with you forever.
Is that not enough?
Good Morning, Mr.Bhaskaran
It’s 7.30 AM, time for your breakfast
Hitomi, when are you coming back?
He is not willing to give it back
Check your email. Shut the machine off
immediately, his father is in danger
Dad... Dad...
Tickets...
Did you get a ticket?
Kunjappan is also missing.
You come fast
I saw them yesterday
Father and son, on the way to the pond
Did you call Subramaniyan?
He went out on the bike, not picking up now
Adukkumala, Adukkumala...
Those who are going to Chamundikkavu...
This is your stop
Get down, fast
Would the old man have
fallen into this well?
It’s the old government well, right?
There is no water in it
If there is no water, it’s no well,
just a pit
Are you not coming?
The search would
have been interesting at night
with flashlights and all
this being in the day...
its no fun
You go ahead
I'll join you guys later
Its deserted
Not even an insect is around
A call from Subramaniyan
Switch it off
Calling facility disabled
Come this way
Where are we going?
Nowhere... where can this possibly lead to
We can live here in the forest
like the tribals
There is enough here for two to survive
without having to work
After all, I have lived an entire life
without working
It’s time for your medicines
- Hmm
Now nobody will notice you
Hold these
Chamundikaavu, the temple the astrologer
suggested is somewhere here
You run a search
We need to offer
some special prayers for you
I had planned to do it
After that we head to the seaside
On her deathbed, my wife asked me...
...to get her son to scatter her remains
Even after all these years,
I could never make that happen
My dad told me the same
before he passed away
Anyway you'll will go to immerse her ashes,
take mine along as well
The wishes of the dead
are a joke to those alive
Nobody is going to come back checking
if they were carried out
Battery low, need to recharge
- Oh!
A message from Saudamini
Opening voice message
Hello! Long time, no see!
Have you forgotten me?
How could I!
We... are coming to you
Mr. Bhaskaran, why didn’t you
marry Saudamini?
Saudamini...
I didn't have the
courage to face her
This courage that I have now,
I didn't have back then
The moment I told my parents about her,
my father packed me off to Vadakara
Phew!
I had to live there for some years,
looking after our land and crops
During that time, she married someone else
And when I was ready for marriage,
they got me married too
I eventually forgot her
Love is like that
If not maintained well...
...it will crumble down like
an abandoned house
You won’t understand all that
You are not old enough for that
Yes, I would not understand
I am programmed only to assist you
I am not a human
Get lost you!
What Subramaniyan said is right
They will find me no matter
where we go hiding
They will take me back and
erase my memories
What good are we
without our memories?
Like a vehicle without fuel
that is left in a corner
New memories will be installed
I am but a trial run
They will take me back to fix the
bugs and errors
I don't understand love
I should not be loved
I am a machine
You can leave me here
and go go back
I am a device built by humans
to simplify their tasks
I cannot replace them
I do not have emotions
Mortal remains are just ash for me
You are crazy
Dad...!
Dad, what is this?
What are you doing? Stop it
Uh-oh
Harmful objects detected
You and your helmet.
Whom are you planning to kill here?
I am going to rip your head off!
Arghh...
Activating self-protection mode
We are coming to you
I don’t think...

Huh... What...
Why don't you kill me then?
Dip the holy twig in the water
Wear it on your ring finger
On the ring-finger
I wear my ring on this finger
Alright...
Take some rice, soak it, and place it there
Take the scutch grass twig,
soak it, and place it there as well
Started a while back?
- No, just now
Take some water,
invoking the seven holy rivers...
Which are..?
- Hm ?
Ganga,
Cauvery...
hmm...
River Nile?
Just place it here
Mix the rice with the curd,
and make fourteen balls
Invoking your father in your prayers,
place them one by one
along with the other offerings
But Madhavan, why fourteen times?
Kunjappan used to eat a lot,
fourteen might not be sufficient
I don't know, that’s why I am asking
- I think it should be 16
But...
Isn't that how it should be?
Isn't today the 14th day
after his death?
Death?
Did you see him die?
Then you tell me, how many days has it been?
- Ah!
Then you can put the blame on me…
Do whatever!
Volley it long... long ball, or else they'll score
- Pass it here!
Pass it along!
- Come On!!
Just missed!
Chuppa! Throw the ball back in
Prasannan, are you done here?
Just a moment,
we are about to lose
Come on boys,
back to positions
What’s up, Madhu?
You've been here a while now.
Lot of leaves, huh?
I quit the job,
Didn't work out
For you or for them?
- Chuppa!
I'll see you later
I am so out of form these days!
So, what is it?
I have got a new job
Go resign and return, as always!
Listen!
In Bengaluru!
Are you nuts?
Your Dad won't let you work even in Ernakulam...
let alone Bengaluru!
I think, I should take him
with me this time
Ah!
That's a good idea, Chuppa
- hm
But...
...we'll have to
present it tactically
The usual methods won't work
See,
Given the date the body was found and its condition,
this could be Day 14.
Which body?
Have you seen it?
Huh?
Eat... Eat as much as you can
He has ruined this too!
Alright! He is not dead.
The body was not his, either.
But he is dead to me.
Do you have a problem with that?
14 or 16...
...with or without curd,
you decide that for your own last rites
What I offer my dad,
is for me to decide
Why don't you have the snacks and leave quietly
instead of creating trouble?
I don't eat from outside
Why don't you just leave then?
Dad!
Hey Subramaniyan!
Take him away
Unbelievable!
- Just unbelievable!
What is unbelievable?
The fellow was planning to kill his father
So Kunjappan ran away.
Surely, he isn't dead
He dug up some dead body claiming it is Kunjappan's
and is performing the last rites
What he is doing is unbelievable!
- That too is unbelievable!
Uncle, the newspaper
Has your blood sugar gone up?
You look pale and thin
Uncle,
last night, there was a fantastic show
on the TV
"Crime Report"
At Kollam... an old man living alone...
...of approximately your age...
was gruesomely murdered by his neighbour
Living alone is not safe at all!
But I am not alone here
Uncle...
The lad has landed a job...
...in Bengaluru
A good salary of Rs 1 Lakh a month
You could move with him
and we can let this house out on rent
I can guarantee you a rent of ten thousand a month
Over there, nobody could clobber your head off...
You'll be safe!
Prasannan
Take up a job
that would let you sleep in your own house
No matter what
Dad, shall I?
Ground enough?
Yeah!
It's good to go
No, it’s not
This is why you
should not do this
Dad!
What job could I get here?
Jobs don't come riding on their own to you.
You need to look for them
Where are you going?
- Just to the play ground
If you don't mind losing,
join me for a game
I do mind losing
At least for a while?
May be at night.
I have some work now
Jobs don't come riding on their own, do they?
Aren't you going for work today?
I will. It’s not time yet
What time would that be?
- I've got many apprentices there
...they will manage.
It is a Pharma job after all
That is what you always say
Do I?
- Yes, often
No way!
There he is!
Are you taking your dad along to Bengaluru?
Did he get a job there too?
Yes, as a computer engineer!
- No joke, Bengaluru is a hub of engineers,
Let his dad too be one.
There are so many elderly engineers around
Old doctors and engineers are
the most sought after ones
Have you noticed?
- That's right
My dear Madhu,
I am not going anywhere.
A cup of tea, please
Just like me
Chuppan, can you go home immediately?
It’s urgent.
- What is it?
Your father had a fall
What happened?
He fell down while washing clothes
Bhaskaran, why would you live alone?
Why don't you get him married?
Move this bucket a bit
Hmm...
You're not taking the pills, are you?
You don't have to yell.
He is not deaf
Really?
I do
Bhaskaran, skipping the
pills won't do you any good
If something happens, everyone suffers
You do your job
Don't waste it
Why would I!
I don't have much to do here.
It’s a chronic disease
You never know when he will kick the bucket
We can only get him to
take his medicines on time
Get someone for the
household chores
How long will he do all this?
He is an old man
& get a job yourself.
Aren't you an electronics engineer?
Mechanical
You have no hope!
- Didn't I say so?
Prasananan...
We need a home nurse
- For you?
Not for me… for the household chores
and to look after Dad
Oh, that kind of nurse
It’s not the safest of ideas
No women are safe here, is it?
Why are you looking at me?
He meant home nurses cannot be trusted
They often steal things
There is nothing to be stolen,
but my dad
There is an agency in Perumba,
where you get good nurses
If you had such plans,
you could have told me
Dad! Come on
It is not that
I told you yesterday.
She is a home nurse
What should I cook for dinner?
What?
What would you like to eat?
Take her away
The kitchen is that way
Enough
Wow, tastes just like Dad's cooking
Because I made it
Sir, he did not let me do anything,
he did all the cooking
Is she a Poduval?
Mr. Bhaskaran Poduval,
What lies in Caste!
She is from a very reputed upper caste
family in Haryana
Her highly reputed upper caste family
is much higher than Poduvals
Isn't it ?
How long have you known her?
I met her today,
at the agency
hmm
I know you are not the type
What type?
She is pregnant
She has been vomiting continuously
Three months
- Congratulations!
So...
What do we do then?
If there is nothing to do, I'll leave.
Is that OK?
Not O-K, V-K...
I'm V-K Bhaskaran Poduval
You can call me Bhaskaran
You may leave
OK
That means alright in Hindi!
Oh!
Number seems unusual, might be some virus.
You could lose money
Hello!
Have I not told you not to ride a motorbike?
Are you taking your medicines
regularly as advised?
Dad, listen.
Please hear me out
I am 34 now. Look at my head...
I am losing my hair
Soon, I will go bald as
Bharat Gopi!
My classmates always tease me.
- Where are you going?
I have work to do
Listen, 'Mate'!
I have got yet another job
This time in a Japanese company.
I must go
So, what about me?
You come with me
I am not coming to Japan!
Those slanted eyes,
short-legged fellows - just like you
Everyone looks the same,
almost like the Chinese
Dad, the company is Japanese.
my office would be in Russia
Ah! That itself is dubious
Is there no space in Japan
that they set their office in Russia?
Frauds for sure!
Have your gruel and
look for a job here
Did you make me an engineer
to work here in Payyannur?
What else?
To send you to Russia?
It’s only a matter of four years
There are many Malayalees there...
...and other friends too.
I can visit frequently
So, if I die, my dead body will be kept in a
freezer until you come!
I don't want myself freezing in one of those boxes
Dad, stop fooling around please
If I don't take up this job as well
I will lose my mind and hang myself right here
No matter what you say
I will find a good home nurse, and take up this job
I repeat, employing a home nurse is
not a safe option
I suggest you try that woman
who is tending to Sreedharan's mother... Karthiyayini
Hey, not her
She is too old
I didn't mean it that way.
If you hire someone that old
you'd have to get someone to look after her
if she falls sick
Bhaskaran will be looked after by Karthiyayini and
Karthiyayini will be tended to by another nurse
The three of them in that house will be a sight!
Why would she need another person?
She is a home nurse after all
If something happens to her,
she will look after herself
Prasannan
- Yes!
Such a huge house for a single man?
There were many people here.
Some died and some went abroad
Still...
- What?
You can make extensions to a house whenever.
But can you remove them when the number of people decrease?
Come on in
How is it?
Is there nothing here?
But we are hiring you to make something
How do I make something with nothing?
Is there a mixer?
Or a grinder?
That’s the fun part!
Uncle does not like those machines.
Everything should be hand-made.
Not even a TV?
Whenever you feel like watching TV,
come over to my place
You can watch your TV serials on your smartphone
It will cost me some Gigabytes!
One more thing
Please remember, if you fall sick,
you will be your own home nurse too
and I will pay only for one of you'll
So why don't you'll catch up
while I go and bring them
Hello!
- Ah. Haven't seen you around in two days
Got into some trouble
I stitched a churidar
for this girl
It was a bit tight
Heard her brother was after me
So I was in hiding for two days
Hiding!
- Didn't even open the shop
Did you tell the cops?
- Nah!
Can't you see me reading?
Mani!
- Yes!
A tea for me, please
You want it strong, right?
- Absolutely!
Murali...
... heard that you are being replaced in the
temple committee, is it true?
Who told you?
- Rumors are doing rounds
You are of no use to the temple, they say
Did you put some cardamom?
- Why not! you are like a brother, right?
Is there any truth in it, Murali?
- Why don't you have your tea and leave?
Mani, I too want a tea…
but without the cardamom
Why?
- Do I look like your brother?
I think I have
seen her somewhere
She is our new tenant...
...from Wayanad
They moved here because of her daughter's studies
- Oh, okay
Let me take the news paper
Hope you remember the terms.
- I know
Can you get some tea?
- No, thanks!
You are at my stall for the first time
- The thing is my daughter is home alone
She will be fine.
A cup of tea won't take too long
The tea here is quite famous
Isn't it, Raghu?
- Of course!
Without sugar, please
- Alright!

Brother!
Aren't you Bhaskaran?
- Yes

Haven't you seen the sign there

Oh Come on... Karthiyayini!
Huh!

Yes, there will be only one person... "Bhaskaran"
I will leave in a bit and Subramaniyan will leave tomorrow
or else, I will leave now
This spread is only because its the first day
Enough
Is she too from an ‘upper caste’?
Go ahead! Don't worry.
My father is a pure Brahmin
Karthiyayini, we need to talk
- You tell me
Dad is particular about somethings... like
He doesn’t like food ground in the mixer or grinder,
he wants his tea and medicines on time
He is temperamental
So I must keep my voice down and never talk back
Moderate salt and no sugar
and no singing.
Isn't that it?
How did you know? Did Prasannan tell you all this?
- No need of telling all these
I have come across many a demons.
He is barely the worst
So, that’s that then. Peace.
You can fly off to Japan or Russia
or wherever in peace as well
Steel plates don't break
Dad...
Such an opportunity may not come again
It hurts to leave
you by yourself
That's not true
If you feel what you are doing is right,
then you must go
Really?
Hmm
I can't tie you up
You are not a cow

Karthiyayini, pack those chilly fryums
He'll get those in Russia too
Uncle, are you going to Russia too?
Sure! He is at the right age for that

Of course!
Cows are a major problem now
Is it a problem there?
- No
To a place where you cannot get
a bottle of good old ayurvedic oil...
Nobody needs to take any trouble for me
I'm not going anywhere,
and I don't have any problem
So those who go to Russia have a problem?
Come on Prasannan!
- Oh, I did not mean you
I was wondering about
international diplomacy
Only those who do not have the
courage to stay, flee their homeland
Dad! There are women around
There is very little and I am not sharing any of it.
Women... Like I care!
Apply it inside!
Meant for exterior use only
Unbelievable!
- Its okay
He does not have any bad intentions
You don't right?
Look at you, you are laughing!
Such a nice smile!
Let me take a picture
Never seen you laugh so much
Smile again
You pea-brained giant!
How come I was not informed that the IC is not in supply!
With this kind of irresponsible behavior
we are not going anywhere forward
What’s wrong with you?
You should be more meticulous

Never got a chance
Dad is no more, and there is

What happened to your dad?
He was an Alzheimer’s patient
So... how did you take care of him?
We had a home nurse
After work, I would hang out
and get home late, Subramaniyan
Call me Chuppan, my nickname.
That'll be easier since its not much of a tongue twister

[DIALOGUE FROM A TV SERIAL]
Hey!
What’s this?
What happened?
Is this food even edible?
I had a headache yesterday
I lost my focus!
Kindly bear with this today
You are on medications
From now on, I'll cook my own food
You only do the dishes
and the laundry
Right!
What am I... your servant?
Don't you know I am a woman!
What if it hit my face?
Huh!
What do you want?
- A little Sambar
Give him some Sambar
Prasannan!
- What happened?
Bhaskaran has been cutting rope all morning
- Which rope
He's got the loosies
Loose motions could be fatal at his age
Give him some Gelusil
Must be the food!
Did he eat out recently?
Last night's dinner was from here,
Rice and Sambar
and seems like Sambar is finding its way out his colon!
Sambar?
- No
No, thanks!
So, you saw it?
- Saw what?
the Sambar...?
You think I have nothing better
to do than analyze his shit?
He gave his commentary from inside the toilet,
while also abusing you
It's out of care
Could you be a little less crass in the morning?
Ruined the whole day!
- Can't call Shit as Cheese right? Can I?
When you said Home nurse,
I thought it must be a woman
He was Papa's best friend
Even after growing up, he always said
'Be careful' when I left home
Even though he was bedridden,
I always drew strength from him
Our strength always comes from
other people's fear for us
Prasannan, I am at a... mourning.
Can I call you back?
There are mournings in Russia too?
What is it?
Uncle isn't too well these days
- What happened?
Karthiyayini is not taking care of him well
Then... we should find someone else
I did try that, but they are all the same
It’s waste of money
See if you can visit for a bit
He'll feel better
I'll take care of things in the meanwhile
All well?
I am thinking of going back
Look, Kyoto Dynamics is very happy with
your performance...
..and they have some plan for you
So you have to stay here
Think about it
I have to go
Dad is all alone,
and he needs my support
Good decision... Good
Very good.. It’s our responsibility
to look after our parents
But why would you waste your life in that village
doing a job someone else could do?
Chuppa! Its rush hour at the hotel,
so I couldn't come to the airport
Yeah! haven't heard that one before
That's a lot of luggage!
Don't think we can
take it in ourselves
Hey, Babu
Lend a hand, could you?
Lucky I spotted him
We'd have had to hire a porter otherwise
- True
Straight ahead
Hey!
God...!
I am off
Your father becomes a monster on seeing me
Such a nice gentleman otherwise
That is it.
You go to hell! I am leaving
Doesn't give me a moment's rest
For 4000 rs... He thinks he can get a Duke
to look after himself
Wait a minute...!
That's your father right?
You hired me, didn't you?
Well, find someone else!
I am out of here
That is the fourth one in two weeks!
Give it
Driver, bring that box too, please?
Why this unexpected visit?
Thought I'll surprise you, Dad!
Hmm
So, I'll get going then.
- Why would you not stay for tea?
Thought I'll surprise you, Uncle!
Ah
What is this?
Filling up a form for
the agriculture office
You are writing across the margins.
It’s time you got rid of these glasses
It'll be worse without glasses
Not like that. I mean,
you need to change this to a more powerful one
Now that you are back...
I am on a visit
I have even booked my return tickets
Get me some warm water
Dad!
Come here for a moment
What?
Hey! What on...
- Dad... Wait!
What the hell is this?
Hello, Mr. Bhaskaran!
I am Version 5.25 by Kyoto Dynamics,
Good evening, glad to meet you
This is the new home nurse,
I was talking about
When are you going back?
I am...
- Leave tomorrow and take this with you
Uh-oh
Dad... Dad
Just say it you cannot look after me
Don' try to do your 'duty'
This metal man is the last thing
I want in my life
Dad, look at it like a human.
Someone who obeys just you
I don't need any such woman...
..or man here
Consider it a child...!
I am a burden for my own child,
and I must do with a machine child
You don't like mixers, grinders,
fridges, phones, or TVs
or humans
or a robot even!
How are you going to survive, Dad?
Because I lived like this,
you are here and you could make these things
Only time will tell what kind of kids
you will have
What should I do? You tell me
Do you take my permission
for everything?
Did you ask me when you went to Russia?
Or hire a home nurse?
Huh!
For whom is this performance?
What are you talking about?
It’s my duty, right?
Love is not a duty,
It’s a sort of knowledge
Copy that
This is your problem,
First you yell...
and then deliver a lecture or movie dialogues
- Have you ever thought of me?
I haven’t slept peacefully after
I left you here alone
Each time the phone rings, I get anxious.
You know?
I will try to know
There you go!
So, the problem isn't me.
It’s your anxiety about me
You should be treated,
not me.
I'll stay here...
Cook you breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday
The evening tea as well
What now?
Forget what I said
Don't be upset.
Go back tomorrow itself
Go resign the job and come back
Good God!
Good morning, Mr. Bhaskaran!
Some tea?
Have it, Dad.
He is from an upper caste in Japan
Mr. Subramaniyan, would you
like to have some tea?
Mr. Bhaskaran, tea
Didn’t I tell you, I don't want it?
No, you did not.
You just walked away silently
That means 'No'
Copy that
What should I do with this tea?
How about you bake a cake with it?
Sorry, wrong command.
Can't do that with tea
Then you drink it
Robots don’t drink anything
I will kill him
You can kill me but "I'll be back"
What should I do with the tea?
Pour it over my head
A Robot would never harm its owner,
unless it is forced to.
Then you will know who I am
Very bad
Where is this from?
He cooked it
No, thanks
That’s my room,
this is the study
and this one is for Pooja
Who is Pooja?
Pooja... the room where...
the room for Pooja
Who is Pooja?
Ah! See...
I knew he was a creep!
How is 5.25 doing?
Would have been perfect for me.
I doubt if Dad will use it
Please make it happen and come fast.
We all miss you
OK
Ash
Well, that he knows
That's ash from the
firewood we burnt yesterday
We keep that
out in the morning
Can be used as fertilizer for plants
Copy that
See Dad...
Its a fast learner.
Nobody knows everything by birth, right?
Right?
Dad!
Hey!
Who kept these out?
Mr. Bhaskaran,
please don’t shout
Your blood pressure will increase
which could result in an increase
in the flow of blood to the brain cells
causing either a brain hemorrhage
or a block in the heart
inducing a cardiac arrest
Who kept this there?
Found them when I was cleaning the room
Since ash could be used as a fertilizer...
Only one us can live here.
You or me
What have you done?
That was my mom and grandpa in those urns!
We were meant to immerse them
That will surely kill them
Parents of busy kids will lie
around forever in urns
Again!
Is Subramaniyan really busy?
He is completely free
Ask him, ask him again
I'll shove this in your mouth

Dad, I'm leaving
What should I do?

Hmm
Dad, a word...
Dad, I am sure you would ask me for
another Robot in a month
Yeah... Right
You can switch it off
when you don't need it
Just like we use a bulb
It will teach you everything you need.
You can either love it or kill it
See you later!
Bhaskaran, you are so fortunate
You mind your own business!
Hello Mr. Bhaskaran!
Glad to meet you
Do not be afraid.
A robot never harms its owner
Well, good for you.
Otherwise, I will bloody... turn you off?
Dosa...
Haven’t you ever seen a dosa being made?
I know how to make it, but I have never seen it
- Wow!
A home nurse it seems!
What can a piece of metal do for you
that your own blood wouldn’t do?
A robot can do anything

Nah...!

It's time for destruction,Let the ice mounts go berserk.....
...and river Ganges swell with rage.It’s time..
..for the incarnation of Lord Siva
No devotee should die anymore
What’s the matter?
Look, don’t get mad
- Hmm
Your father is not dead
I saw him at
Bhaskaran’s house, wearing a helmet
I had a feeling that the body was not his
Vinu, your father Kunjappan
is still alive
Wait a sec
You disgraceful scumbag of a father...
...you are destined to die at my hands
You will not kill anybody with
your helmet ever again
Didn't you hear? Kunjappan is back.
He is in Bhaskaran's house
Vinu's father Kunjappan was one of those psychopaths.
He would steal in people's house wearing a helmet
Whoever spotted him
was bludgeoned to death
When Vinu learnt this and threatened him, Kunjappan fled.
A blood bath is certain today

let me have a look first
What is it?
Uncle, has that Psychopath
Kunjappan come here?
Psychopath?
- Babu says, he saw a man in a helmet here
Mr. Bhaskaran, tea
What is this, Uncle?
That...
...is my son's friend
He is looking for a job here
Will be here for a few days
Good morning!
- Hello!
So, Uncle...
this was what was in the box!
Did it come in pieces?
Did he assemble it here?
Can it do all jobs?
Who knows!
I know...
I can do all kind of jobs
What is your name, Sir?
-I am Robot, Android Version 5.25
Robert!
You must be a Christian
I'm Prasannan. I am a Poduval.
He is my uncle.
Glad to meet you!
Come!
Robot!
So actually...
This is not Kunjappan,
Since Uncle is not well...
and Subramaniyan is very busy in Russia.
So he brought this to help out Uncle
His name is Robert
Does it have WiFi?
- Don't think so
I think it’s Android
Nah, must be Windows
Now, if you'd like you can take a selfie
and then please leave
Doesn't he look like
Kunjappan from behind?
Come, let’s take a selfie
- Please wait for your turn!
Did you hear?
Bhaskaran has gotten a
robot to take care of him
Really?
He makes tea, cooks meals,
does the laundry, mops the house...
It can even clean
his shit after him
and feed him
- Feed him the shit?
No you fool! Proper meals
This is against our culture.
- Murali, you think it can stitch?
Maybe, it does.
But it cannot fix the buttons for sure
They say it can read minds
- And we cannot even read the written word!
Is it a male?
- Of course
Is it a male?
- Of course
Android Kunjappan.
So, definitely a male
Android Kunjappan.
So, definitely a male
Don't goof up this time.
Make sure I am in focus
Sir, we are from the Kannur News.
We heard about the Robot
Come on in
Robert!
Ah... TV news reporters!
Robot looks quite old
- Hey, this is my uncle. Not the robot.
Oh Sorry!
Yes?
Sir, we are from Kannur Vision.
We heard about the robot.
Who brought it here?
My son.
- Can we meet him?
He is in Russ.. err ..Japan
Is that him?
- Cut... Cut
That's Arnold Schwarzenegger!
Mr. Bhaskaran!
That's Robert

We don’t need a
newspaper from tomorrow
It's not for you to decide!
You can call me names or abuse me,
but don’t stop the newspaper
Only someone who reads the newspaper
knows its joy
You read to gain knowledge, not joy
I like to read it when I am on the pot
Will you come in there
too with the 'knowledge'
Why not?
Huh! Have you no shame?
Of course, not
You come from a place where people
clean their asses with paper
Why would you have shame?
Shame? What is it?
Bhaskaran, I've got to go.
Lots of houses to cover
May I help you?
How do you know Babu?
Can you get information on anyone?
Anyone who has a Facebook account
What about Prasannan?
He has no Email, Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram,
Whatsapp, or Skype.
No Google search results either
Prasannan does not exist.

Do you get it now?

Get out!
How's it going?
He is quite the grumpy old man
Thankfully, he hasn't torn it apart yet
Nice
May I help you?
No, I got it
I was built to look after you, it’s my duty
You are built to deceive me
Love is not duty, its an emotion
You told Subramaniyan that love
is knowledge, right?
Yeah...
I mean... emotional knowledge is love
You won't get that.
It is delicate and has many layers
Where are you off to?
To find you a suitable bride.
Why?
Going to pay the electricity bill
That could be done from here
The electricity office won't come here.
We have to go to it
You can pay it online
Does he never change his clothes?
His son makes so much money
Can't he just get him
some decent clothes?
Man maketh Money. Money doesn't maketh man
Either ways, you got to work, right Madhu?
Hi Bhaskaran!
Hey, you look like a squirrel
who just lost his nuts
More like a squirrel
whose 'nuts' were cut away
Yeah, looks like that
Looks like I might have to
quit this job and return
The robot does not
seem to excite Dad at all
The robot is not meant to do
anything exciting anyway
Enough, we have to leave
Hello
- I have been trying to reach you since forever?
Shall I call you back?
I am little busy now
Nothing much to say when you call back.
Uncle had a fall
That is all there is to say,
even if you call back
Hello... hello
Where's Dad?
- Electricity office
Idiot...!
He has met with some accident,
go look for him

Yes?
What?

I came in search of him
Here?
I had to stop because my battery is running low
Battery Low, Battery Low

Mom, let’s keep it here
You don’t know how I manage the rent.
Send him back
Let me check my mail. Do you have WiFi?
- Of course
We'll be accused of stealing it
You won't even take an internet connection
At least let me keep it for a while!
How am I even going to get a job!
When you start earning,
you can get whatever connection you want
Send it away before I lose my cool
Battery charged sufficiently,
thank you
Mr. Bhaskaran
Is that thing a show piece?
Isn't it installed for a purpose?
Where is it?
Sleeping?
Oh, you are back!
Where were you? Roaming around?
Sir, you need to be proactive
and take responsibility
Have you put on weight?
You must be eating well
Luckily that drunkard Babu found him
Imagine, if he wasn't around...
That said, the robot here is
better than your son in Russia

to even talk on the phone

not an Engineer
Or my father would have
died in the gutter

Rs. 4-5 lakhs a month
Why does that bother you?
Five lakhs!
That’s a lot more than I imagined
I should have chosen Engineering too
Brothers...
What would be the cost of that robot?
May be... around Rs.2-3 Crores
Crores!
We need to take life more seriously
Need to get a job
Too late to begin now.
When will you have a Crore!
You know Madhu...
...Subramaniyan & I were classmates
Can't believe that snotty kid grew up to
become a rich engineer in Russia
Would it have helped if we were snotty too?
Can't you see we are having a
serious discussion here, you morons?
[PA SYSTEM] "The Serious Men"
Did you speak to Dad?
- Yeah, yeah. He is fine
It is difficult to not
have a mother around
Did you ever miss your mom?
My dad never gave me a chance to miss her
My parents got divorced when I was born
Oh! Is that why they got divorced?
So funny!
We Malayalees are a riot!

Non-Hindus are not allowed inside the temple
My son built him, and he lives with me,
moreover he believes in Hinduism
I have my doubts
Then how do you perform the rituals?
Not that. I have my doubts about this fellow here.
Where is the proof that he is Hindu?
[RECITING A VERSE FROM BHAGAVAT GITA

Don't make a scene. Stop him not!

glorious, or powerful, know it to..."
"...spring from but a spark of
my splendor..."
...as mentioned in Bhagavat Gita
Chapter 10, Vibhootiyogam, Verse 41
Bro, that one isn't
from the DC comics world
Bhaskaran, kindly understand
This machine will spoil
the sanctity of the temple
He is a Hindu
- You don't get to decide that yourself
But Murali, Hindus don't have Baptism...
Hang on... Communists have no
say in religious matters
If a stranger claims he is your brother,
will you just let him in your house?
Would you?
- No, I won’t
Then you keep off
Must he open up his chest and
show that god resides within him?
What a miracle!
Good lord!
Oh! Lord Hanuman, bless us!

Don’t make a scene, Mom.
Delhi is not that far
Call me as soon as you get there

This is a big moment in her life.
Cheer up!
Let her cry.
Let her cry all her pain out

- Yes, Mr.Bhaskaran
You think Saudamini is on Facebook?
If she is...
Searching for Saudamini
No man... none of those
That's the one!
She is the one... Saudamini
Not bad!
So Facebook is basically
used to stalk people

- Facebook, bah! Go on now
Facebook Message from 'Sathyan'
"I always wanted to tell you how much I was in love with you.
Never had the courage"
In Japan, you can express your
love freely and openly
Doesn't work like that here.
We either rape or burn the girl first
I am too old for any of these
In Japan, you can get married to whomever you like
and whenever you want
When did I tell you I want to get married?
And stop going on about Japan...
It is small enough for four men with shovels on either side
to dig up and throw it into the ocean
Is that the case with India?
The country is huge and so are our problems
There you can get married
even if you are old
or even live together
without getting married
Damn, I wish I was born there!
Here marriage is nothing but
a license to buy groceries
Hmm
Hey...!
Even Chuppan does not know about Saudamini
You are increasingly
behaving like a typical Malayalee...
please don't start gossiping
about this to others
Of course not
Looks like Bhaskaran Poduval
used to have a one-sided love affair
Oh.. Really!
Like a loan given to Vijay Mallya, a
non-performing asset
Oh, nice!
How much is this?
Rs. 150
Two
Ten?
Ten
Five..
How much?
So the change?
You still owe me a rupee
Yes, that I will give you next month
We don't need the newspaper from tomorrow
What?
- I read online now
What about the joy of
reading an actual paper?
Well, there is joy in this too
My eye sight is poor
On a screen,
you can zoom in and make it larger
Kunjappan... a merciless death awaits you!
upon the good lord!
You don't get away
with hurting someone in the press
Better check your horoscope!
Sir, snacks
Serve it to him too
He doesn’t drink
We make offerings to god as well,
even if they don't actually eat it
Keep it there
Thank you
We need his time
and date of birth
and his sun sign
Hi, Dad
I need the his time of birth
What?
- Well, I need it along with the Date
I don’t know,
give me a moment
Do you know Kunjappan's date of birth?
You mean date of manufacturing?

Those around him, including you,
only have to gain from his company
However, this is not a good phase for him
He may have the wrath of many foes.
Perhaps causing some stomach problems
Maybe a virus?
Like what affects mobiles and computers?
His eyes could be affected as well.
Maybe a scratch on his lenses?
Avoid long distance travel.
Your family goddess seems to be unhappy
Nothing to worry.
Everything has a remedy
Make an offering at the
Payyanur temple and...
...perform a manikin ritual at the
Chamundi temple in Adukumala, Wayanad
As soon as possible.
There have been positive results
Stay positive
Hi Uncle!
Where did you'll go to?
To the astrologer
- Why?
Got his horoscope checked
Got a sanctified amulet for
him to ward off the evil eye
Lets go
- Is everything...
... else alright?
Hey!
Get in quick
You could catch a cold!
I would have taken those
Why take a chance
Didn’t you hear the Astrologer?
There is threat to your life even
Who do I have if
something happens to you?
Subramaniyan, Prasannan
They'll get old and die
and then who'll I have?
The cessation of life processes
that occurs only in living organisms
for various reasons including
aging, suicide, murder
disease, accident,
and starvation...
...is known as Death.
This is not applicable for a Robot.
Many who thought so have gone on to
become photographic memories
and roadside busts for crows to shit on.
You won't be different either
One can erase me.
My memory could be deleted
Then?
- Then you can sell me as scrap
You can change the password
and add a fingerprint
After that,
you alone can erase me
Nobody can see my activities
unless you approve
Otherwise?
Subramaniyan can watch everything you do
through this camera
All of it?
- Of course
Is my lunch ready?
- Just a moment
There is no curry.
Get some from Prasannan's hotel
As always
How many dosas are there?
- Six
Yeah, don't reduce that now
You've been brushing forever
- Breakfast is not ready yet
Raghu, you have got the lyrics wrong
- Will keep that in mind
Always sings it wrong,
good for nothing
Oh Lord! Stay with me and guide me
Raghu...
Is the blouse ready?
It will be ready in a moment,
you take a ride and come back
Isn't that what you always say
- Go and come son
It better be ready by the time I return.
Else, I will burn the bloody shop down
Raghu...
- Bhaskaran!
I need to stitch a shirt
- Why not?
Dosa
- Put it back. It's his lunch
Not for me, it’s for him
I have grown to stitch a shirt for a robot,
I am honored!
Shoulder 34; Arm 50; Chest 44;
Waist 28; Height 40
What a memory!
I need an assistant here,
are you game?
There is no need
for him to work
Mind you, my father has
made enough money already
Isn’t it better if he earns something?
Who will look after him when he gets old?
- I will
What did you say your height was?
- 40â€
Come after a couple of days
- Okay
Where is the cloth?
[SINGING]
Is it done?
Get the money from my Dad.
- Alright!
Are you drunk today as well?
How did you know?
You seem to have dressed for work today
Where are you going?
For Radha's daughter's wedding.
I'll have lunch there
I am starving
- I haven’t cooked, you come with me
I am not invited
Neither am I.
But I am attending
You got a new blouse made for
a wedding you weren't invited to!
Do I go without one
because I was not invited?
A portion of curry please
Curry & Blouse, eh?
Where is that packet?
I ate it
What!
You ate my new blouse?
You try to seduce my wife with
Dosas, you scum!
I know she is pretty,
but she doesn't need your dosas
Stop it!
- I did nothing, Kunjappan swapped it
Leave me
He will die by my hands,
you mark my words
Let it go
Why should I mark his words?
- Right
Who is Mr.Bhaskaran Poduval?
- It’s me
We are from the municipality
- Hello!
We have got a complaint against you
Do you have the license to run this?
I don't need a license, I don't run it
It runs on its own
Listen, you need sanction from the
government to run such machines
Will you take the responsibility
if it attacks somebody?
Prasannan...
What happened, Uncle?
- Call Chuppan
The municipality
took Kunjappan away
Why do they need a robot?
Quick...
Hi Prasannan
- Chuppan...
Some ‘Robot catchers’ from the
municipality have taken Kunjappan
Apparently, we need a license
The municipality?
Is Dad around?
- Talk to him
Hello?
- Dad, what happened?
Kunjappan was home as usual,
they came and took him
Don't worry Dad
They can't take him away.
Nothing will happen
Go home...
Kunjappan will come home soon
But how could they take that kid
It's not safe these days
What if they do something to him?
He can’t even cry
I don't think I can be at peace without him
Dad...
Here
What happened?
I think he has begun to
think of the robot as his son
The world has gone rogue ever since
the computer and the internet came along
Now the people are going to use
this Robot to help them with their crimes
Switching a dosa with a blouse is a cyber-crime?
There wasn't even in any curry in it!
I don't know all that
Get an undertaking from the
police that they take responsibility
We'll see then
Will they give it?
- How would I know? Ask them
Why is the communist party interested
in helping the damned Robot?
So many home nurses
are going to lose their jobs to it
There you are wrong
For issues like property disputes,
infidelity, loan-sharking etc
...the party has mediating for years now
That’s how it works here
Sir, there is a message
from the Prime Minister's office
Officer!
Did Charles Shobaraj
use the internet to commit his crimes?
Did Sukumara Kuruppu use
WhatsApp for his murders?
Did those 42 men rape that 16-year-old for
40 days in Suryanelli with the help of...
... Google?
Yes... Google?
Did Lord Krishna have 16008 wives,
because he had a Facebook account?
Exactly!
It’s because of
your incompetence!
What! What did I do?
What kind of a brother-in-law are you?
Useless!
Listen... sit.
What can I get you to drink?
I don’t want anything.
- You stopped drinking?
The wig...
Why did you let it go?
This was sent by his son.
The sanction from the PM to use the robot
I had no option
- Our Prime Minister?
Who else? Only we don't have access to him
Isn't he always abroad!
He signed an MoU in Japan to import
50 such Robots across the next 5 years
This is a trial run
How is that possible? Wasn't it on
a 4-month trial? You must return it
Sir, I'll buy it somehow
I can understand your situation, but that
machine isn't for sale. I could lose my job
This is surely the handiwork of Babu
Now, nobody can do anything.
Let alone Babu
The mail my son sent was
that powerful
Bhaskaran,
How much is your son’s salary?
Why?
It'll be fun to know
Knowing won't be fun.
Earning will be
I don’t think he will return it
What the hell! Don’t you understand?
Go, get it back
I need the machine back as is.
I don’t care if you have to kill your father
Hey, Chuppan stop!
Two out of the four machines
that went for the trial run have failed
If anything happens to your father,
we are done
I am saying this for
your own good
Stop it!

How cute!
That room...
How'd you get here, suddenly?
Wasn't very sudden.
Took us a while to get here
May I help you?
No, you have done enough and more.
I can manage it
Err... Let her use this room
Why?
Some of my things are there
I'll clear those
Hey!
Don’t take that
That may not fit you
Keep it in Dad’s room
Dad, can I get some tea?
He can make it
Where are you going?
To help him. He does not know
where the mustard seeds are
Why does he need Mustard seeds for tea?
Don’t you want Dosa?
Why'd he need them for Dosas?
You don't want chutney either?
All I asked is for tea & he'll make it.
You please sit here
Hmm
Hmm...
nice house
Kunjappan...
No messages since a week!
Whose message?
Sauda... err... Karan... Saudakaran,
your maternal cousin - Sudhakaran in fact
He is my Facebook friend now
How long will you be here?
As long as you want
Won’t you lose your job?
Didn't you say that
our hometown is the best
...and that I must stay back
and look after you
So I may not go back
Why?
Nowadays, it is not easy to get another job
Kunjappan is taking good care of me
Right!
I know it is not the same
as me being here
Moreover...
...no matter who is looking after you,
I am always anxious
So I have decided...
Will she go back alone?
She too is staying
We have decided to get married
Congratulations
Come
Why is it with you all the time?
Switch it off for a while
You think its a machine
to just switch it off?
Let him take rest
I want to listen to some music
The situation is more serious
than we thought
Should we just shut it down?
No no...
We just need to be careful
If we take him forcefully,
it will be a shock
We should convince him
I am sure he will understand
He seems like a nice man.
We should be with him always
Hi Kunjappan!
Who is this?
Is this a new Robot?
She is my friend
Thank you
Mr. Bhaskaran,
we need to talk in private
What?
Something he hasn't even told his son
I need to use the loo
What?
- The toilet...
Come... I need to use it
Good bye, Subramaniyan
This is what I was telling you about.
I think he is losing his mind
In 35 years, I don't think he
even prayed for me once
And he has gotten
its horoscope checked
Well, no point blaming him
Who gives an old man
such a toy?
Babu, I am thirsty!
- You just had a drink
Thirsty for revenge, you fool!
- Oh
I will finish off that
bloody Kunjappan
That very name drives me crazy
"New voice message"
I moved out of Payyannur
They have plans to rebuild that house
Could not tell you as I was in a hurry
I knew you will find out anyway
Kunjappan...
Why have they come now...
Chuppan and that Hitachi...?
Hitomi
Whatever! I don't care.
She is not your mother right!
Why are they here?
No idea
Hi..
What are you doing here?
I am going to cook from today
Not just cooking...
I am going to be
taking care of you from now on
I need half a glass of tea
I told you half a glass
You drink whatever
quantity you want
Whatever I want, is what I asked for
Couldn't you give me just that?
Come...
Where are you going?
- I need to bathe
What do you need him for?
Should I go alone? What if something
happens to me there!
You stay here,
I'll come with you
You stay here
Grated coconut is kept
on the counter
The grinding stone is
outside, grind it well
Only then it tastes well
Mustard seeds should
be fried properly
But don't burn it either
Come
Hey, where are both you going?
I am going to have a bath
He is coming along to wipe my head.
Got a problem?
Nothing, I was just asking
Why are you trying to embarrass me?
Embarrass you?
If that’s the case, having wiped
your head for 10-12 years...
I should have died of embarrassment
Where does he get the money to buy
new robots every week?
Is the Robot on leave today?
Who did you say made this?
Hitomi
Do you think I’m I am a fool?
Huh?
That piece of metal scrap took care of me,
for the last 3-4 months
Despite all my antics,
...he fed me, he bathed me, made me laugh
Never disobeyed me
or talked back to me
...nor did it scare me, till now
Didn’t you tell me to treat it
as a child and teach it everything?
When you went abroad...
...it was he who made me
feel alive
For you...
he might be just a machine
that does household chores
but for me he is my son
If he goes, who will stay here?
Hitomi?
You?
Since how many years have I been asking you
to immerse your Mother's ashes?
hmm?
If you don’t even have time for that,
how will you look after me?
Even if you stay here...
and If I became
bedridden...
you wouldn't even be able to
clean out my crap
You will find another home nurse
I call you to play chess
so we can have a conversation
but you have a problem
with that too
I am not saying these to make you cry
He cannot replace you...
...neither can you replace him
Hey!
You...!
What are you doing Dad?
Look what she is doing!
Dad, stop it
No, I won't!
No matter what you
say, we need to return it
We were given
it for four months
We can’t keep it any more
Neither the government,
nor the company will allow it
I don't have
the permission for it
All the other robots from
this batch have failed
This will harm you for sure
So many fathers have been
murdered by their children
Does that stop anyone
from being a parent?
Does it?
Do you value this machine more than me?
When did I ignore you, Dad?
When I was idling away here with you,
Have you shown this affection to me?
This machine will definitely kill you Dad
He won’t do any harm to me.
It’s only in your imagination
Papa, please understand
This is only a machine
programmed by somebody
This is not like us, humans
Aren’t we the same?
Programmed by someone!
I call it destiny
you call it programming or
whatever the hell you like
We left everything behind
to come and look after you
I have to return it.
Or none of us will be at peace
I can be arrested. This is a criminal case
I will live with you forever.
Is that not enough?
Good Morning, Mr.Bhaskaran
It’s 7.30 AM, time for your breakfast
Hitomi, when are you coming back?
He is not willing to give it back
Check your email. Shut the machine off
immediately, his father is in danger
Dad... Dad...
Tickets...
Did you get a ticket?
Kunjappan is also missing.
You come fast
I saw them yesterday
Father and son, on the way to the pond
Did you call Subramaniyan?
He went out on the bike, not picking up now
Adukkumala, Adukkumala...
Those who are going to Chamundikkavu...
This is your stop
Get down, fast
Would the old man have
fallen into this well?
It’s the old government well, right?
There is no water in it
If there is no water, it’s no well,
just a pit
Are you not coming?
The search would
have been interesting at night
with flashlights and all
this being in the day...
its no fun
You go ahead
I'll join you guys later
Its deserted
Not even an insect is around
A call from Subramaniyan
Switch it off
Calling facility disabled
Come this way
Where are we going?
Nowhere... where can this possibly lead to
We can live here in the forest
like the tribals
There is enough here for two to survive
without having to work
After all, I have lived an entire life
without working
It’s time for your medicines
- Hmm
Now nobody will notice you
Hold these
Chamundikaavu, the temple the astrologer
suggested is somewhere here
You run a search
We need to offer
some special prayers for you
I had planned to do it
After that we head to the seaside
On her deathbed, my wife asked me...
...to get her son to scatter her remains
Even after all these years,
I could never make that happen
My dad told me the same
before he passed away
Anyway you'll will go to immerse her ashes,
take mine along as well
The wishes of the dead
are a joke to those alive
Nobody is going to come back checking
if they were carried out
Battery low, need to recharge
- Oh!
A message from Saudamini
Opening voice message
Hello! Long time, no see!
Have you forgotten me?
How could I!
We... are coming to you
Mr. Bhaskaran, why didn’t you
marry Saudamini?
Saudamini...
I didn't have the
courage to face her
This courage that I have now,
I didn't have back then
The moment I told my parents about her,
my father packed me off to Vadakara
Phew!
I had to live there for some years,
looking after our land and crops
During that time, she married someone else
And when I was ready for marriage,
they got me married too
I eventually forgot her
Love is like that
If not maintained well...
...it will crumble down like
an abandoned house
You won’t understand all that
You are not old enough for that
Yes, I would not understand
I am programmed only to assist you
I am not a human
Get lost you!
What Subramaniyan said is right
They will find me no matter
where we go hiding
They will take me back and
erase my memories
What good are we
without our memories?
Like a vehicle without fuel
that is left in a corner
New memories will be installed
I am but a trial run
They will take me back to fix the
bugs and errors
I don't understand love
I should not be loved
I am a machine
You can leave me here
and go go back
I am a device built by humans
to simplify their tasks
I cannot replace them
I do not have emotions
Mortal remains are just ash for me
You are crazy
Dad...!
Dad, what is this?
What are you doing? Stop it
Uh-oh
Harmful objects detected
You and your helmet.
Whom are you planning to kill here?
I am going to rip your head off!
Arghh...
Activating self-protection mode
We are coming to you
I don’t think...
[NEW MESSAGE]
"I don't think you can find me"
