Ennalum Ente Aliya (2023) - full transcript

Ah! All the results are favourable.

- Did you take the injection?
- Yes.

The next three days is the
ovulation period.

Should try to have contact
as many times as possible.

Even we are prone to the lifestyle
and work stress here.

But you'll have to let go of that
for something like this.

Been eight years since you
got married, right?

Yes.

It's not enough to
just wish for a child.

You have to be mentally prepared
for it as well.

You should perhaps get away
for a couple of days.



To somewhere like a resort...

...for a change of surroundings.

But, it's your choice.

Consider, the next few days as
your second honeymoon.

Okay?

God bless!

Thank you.

Alright, then. See you.

- Listen.
- Hmm?

Why don't we go somewhere
like the doctor said?

Where to?

A friend of mine has a resort.
It's really good.

Nah. Let's stay at home.

But Balu, make sure you
do this one thing.



Ignore your calls and destress
for a few days. Okay?

You picked up everything right?
Medicines?

- Yes. We'll pick it up downstairs.
- Let's go this way.

"Shadows, don't go too far away!"

"I wander lonely at night."

"To light lamps in the darkness,"

"won't you come by my side?"

"The sea in my heart, the waves
of which have disappeared..."

"...searches for daylight."

"Till the dark clouds fade away"

"the embers in my heart burn!"

"Shadows, don't go too far away!"

"I wander lonely at night."

"To light lamps in the darkness,"

"Won't you come by my side?"

"The sea in my heart, the waves
of which have disappeared..."

"Searches for daylight."

"Till the dark clouds fade away"

"the embers in my heart burn!"

"My dreams have vanished."

"Agony, could you go away too?"

"To sing a lullaby
to a little child,"

"I wait here with desire"

"at the deepest of the valleys!"

"With a trembling heart,"

"I search for the path ahead!"

"Shadows, don't go too far away!"

"I wander lonely at night."

"To light lamps in the darkness,"

"Won't you come by my side?"

"The sea in my heart, the waves
of which have disappeared..."

"searches for daylight."

"Till the dark clouds fade away"

"the embers in my heart burn!"

Balu!

Balu... what are you doing?
Balu!

See you, Balu!

Saw that? Learn something from them!

What was that about, Balu?
Following the doctor's advice?

Doctor's advice?

Shut up!

Give me an answer.

Come sit.

Listen...

you know my...

you know everything, right.

Work pressure.

Just stay there.

So...

The next three days,
like the doctor said...

no clients...

no phone calls.

For sure?

Yes.

[Doorbell rings]

Who's that?

[Doorbell rings]

Hey! My brother-in-law!

Wasn't expecting you here.
Where's my sister?

What's up with you?

You there, Sis?

Oh dear! Can't bear this heat.

Wait. Didn't you go to work today?

No.

Gosh, I really can't stand
this heat.

- Sis!
- Hey.

What happened to you?
Your face looks weird.

Nothing. Nothing at all.

Hey! How come you landed up
without even a call?

Where was the time to inform?!
That guy landed up out of nowhere.

- Who?
- That useless room-mate of mine.

He wasn't supposed
to return for a month!

- Oh.
- I lost space in my room.

The only relief is that...

I can relax for a few days with
my sister and brother-in-law.

- Where is the TV remote?
- Remote... here.

Can I get a cup of tea?

White or Black?

- White! But with fresh milk.
- Okay.

- Do you want tea?
- Nope.

Any idea when the cricket
match starts?

- What?
- Cricket match.

- No clue.
- It's supposed to start now.

Whew!

[Cricket commentary on TV]

Yes!

[Cricket commentary on TV]

Oh, no!

[Sounds from TV]

Darn! He was playing so well!

You said you're on leave today.

Why waste a leave?

Give him tea.

Here.

Hey!

Didn't you take the day off?

Did you attend that interview
for the supervisor job?

It's too hot outside!

I'll get burnt!

The only shade here
is when a plane flies above!

You know I'm a
Civil Engineer, right?

What a shot!

You better take the day off.
The game is so exciting. Come here.

Your visit visa will expire
soon right. What's the plan?

There's still time left for that.

Ah! This is life.

Haven't had such
good tea since forever.

Feed him something.

Aren't there any other snacks?

Shut up and have it!

It's always these biscuits!

Balu...

Don't forget to buy fresh milk
on your way back.

Only if you want to
have tea tomorrow!

[Sounds from TV]

Hey Ismi!

Ismi!
Hey!

Ismi!

Hey! Ismi!

Turn that off.

- What?
- Turn that damn thing off.

Oh God!

The only time I have
peace is while praying.

And you won't allow even that.

Haven't I told you not to
create nuisance like this?

But I was playing it
on low volume.

Great! Now you've gone
deaf as well.

Oh God!

What kind of clothes are these?

What happened to the sleeves?

I cut those off.

Cut those off?

God! What if someone
sees you like this?

Mom, this is my room, my house.
Who is going to see me?

Sure. Your room!

Don't you have
anything to study?

Don't you?

Don't you have anything to talk
about other than studies?

Study. Study. Study.

Don't forget about today evening.

What?

Isn't Jesna your friend?

Weren't you talking about
getting a gift for her wedding?

Yes. Yes.

- Call Dad.
- Yeah, yeah.

Else, he'll be stuck
with his concreting...

Haven't I told you not to
bring my phone at this time?

Hey, it's me.

Just switch off the lights!

Why is he shouting at me?

Close the door!

What happened?

- Why is he acting like this, Sis?
- What happened?

His phone was ringing on the table.
I just gave it to him.

Oh God!
It's his meditation time.

Who asked you to give
him the phone now?

How would I know?

His boss was calling.
Thought it was important.

But he is acting crazy.

Yes. I'm crazy!

You all will drive me crazy for sure.

Balu! He thought
the call was important.

He didn't know you
were meditating.

What happened to your leg?

Did you get scared?

A little.

Sis...

Did you notice any changes
in his behaviour?

He seems angry at me
for something.

No no.

You can't imagine Balu's work stress.

He does meditation to let go
off that stress.

I still feel he is angry at me.

He was never like this.

Why would he be angry at you?

Come. I'll get food for you.

Nah.
I'm not hungry.

Hello?

We have reached here.
Where are you?

Huh?

What are you saying?

So you cannot come?

What do you mean why?!
It's for her...

We had to get a gift
for the bride and...

You forgot?!

Sweetheart...

He hung up.

Says he'll send Rahim.
Asked us to go home.

And what about the gift?

Gift, my foot!

Let's not stand here.

Let's wait near the mosque.

Not a good idea to hang
around here at night.

He forgot, it seems!

Which world is he in!

Let it go, Mom!

I've been letting it go too much!
And that's why these things happen.

I am done with this!

Where the hell is the driver?!

Making two women
wait here alone...

- Let your father come home.
- Its okay, Mom!

What's okay?!

What will people think?

- Mom!
- Kareem is too much!

Can you be quiet for a bit?

Didn't I tell you to
wear your scarf?

- Now its the scarf!
- Why not!

We are in public now.

Oh there he is!

So what about the gift?

Get in.

This man...!

How could he do this!

Rahim... Why didn't Kareem come?

Mr. Kareem is terribly busy.

Yeah, right!

His work, his
workers, his concreting!

- Mom! Dad must have gotten busy.
- Of course, he must have!

He never thinks
about his family.

He let two women
wait on the road alone.

- Can you stay silent for sometime?
- Sure, I can.

Let him get home.

Dear Lord!

I was actually studying...

just had a doubt in the middle...

thought I'll Google it.

Here, drink it.

Okay.

I'll have it.

I understand what is in the head
of girls of your age.

These phone calls...
don't take them seriously.

I'd prefer 'our own' people.

Your dad and me...

will find a suitable boy for you.

- Get married only if you like him.
- Hmm.

Try it out for a year...

and if you don't like him...

leave him.

Then go, live your life as you wish.
Okay?

Okay.

But give me your word...

that you'll marry someone
from our community.

Okay.

Drink it.

And if that doesn't happen...

you'll see my dead body.

I don't have anyone else.

Forget studies for the day.

Drink your milk and sleep.

Sir...

Yes.

No Sir... haven't collected that
premium yet.

The person is not in town.

Will collect it within two days.

Sir.

Where's he? He ate?

He went somewhere this morning.

No clue where to.

He hasn't eaten anything.

Why do you take out
all your stress on him?

You'll stress yourself out
even more.

Of course, my stress will increase.

I had lined up three interviews
for him last month.

Did he attend even one?

No, right?

His visa will expire in ten days.

Will have to get a new one, right?

All these are expenses, Lakshmi.

You ask him what he wants.

Ask what his plan is.

Yes, I will talk to him.

You don't get tensed over that.

- You ate?
- No.

Sit.

What's our plan now?

I'll call you back, Sir.

Let's go somewhere
for a day or two?

How can we?
He'll be alone here.

He doesn't even know how
to make himself a cup of tea.

Lakshmi, no one comes to Dubai
as an expert in everything.

He'll figure his way out.

Else let him eat from outside.

Balu, please.

It's his birthday tomorrow.

Oh, now that too.

When you step out...

can you get a cake?

Hmm.

Ismi.

Why aren't you ready yet?

Don't make up excuses.

[Doorbell rings]

Where the hell have you been?

Don't we have to attend Salaam's
daughter's wedding eve celebration?

Don't even ask, Sulu.
Been roaming since morning.

So much that my spine feels broken.

Haven't had a glass of water yet!

Remember that guy
from Thiruvalla?

Roamed everywhere trying to
find him and get him to pay up.

- And did you get it?
- In my dreams!

He slipped away
yesterday itself.

Okay. So, can you at least now
get ready?

Can I eat something first?

Why would you do that?
We are going for a dinner anyway.

What's on your eye?

That's on you and the doorbell.

I'll have to apply the eyeliner
again from scratch.

Where's Ismi?
Is she ready yet?

Go ask her yourself!

Ismi... Sweetheart!

Ismi...

Yeah, Dad?

Why aren't you ready yet?

I'm not coming, Dad.
Have a terrible headache.

But it's your friend's wedding.

That's okay. I already told her.

Anyway, it's just the
'mehndi' function today.

I'll come for the
wedding tomorrow.

How will we leave in peace
knowing you're alone here?

Mom! No one's going to
eat me up alive here.

I have taken medicines for
the headache, Dad.

Okay. You go take rest.

Don't force her.

We'll lock the apartment
from outside.

You go get ready first.

You sure you'll be done with your
'face paint' by then?

- Where are you off to?
- Have an urgent meeting.

At this hour?

Have a motivation speech to give.
For a few couples.

This is the time that suits them.

Half an hour.
I'll be back soon.

What's the speech on?

Tips for a successful
married life.

How come those tips
don't work out here?

Get rid off your brother first.

It'll all work out then.
Okay?

Sure!

Where's my bag?

Here.

Thank you.

Hi Babe!

I'm good, I'm good.
What about you?

What's up?

Okay.

Yeah, yeah. They went for
the wedding.

I just told them
having a severe headache.

God knows. I think she believed it.

- Yeah, Zubair.
- Hello, Sir.

Tomorrow there's concreting work
at Shyam Sir's site.

Get there early with the labour.

- Something funny happened!
- What?

During the roof construction, those
Bengali labourers, from Andhra...

a couple of them had a fall.

- Bengali labourers from Andhra?
- Yeah.

What are you blabbering about?

The base of that roof kept for
concreting tomorrow broke...

and those guys fell off from
the second floor.

Fell from the second floor?

Yeah. And two Pakistanis fell
on top of them.

They've been admitted
to the ICU.

- Pakistani? ICU?
- Yeah.

- In total, how many fell off?
- People? Only four...

but the roof collapsed completely.

You guys are going to ruin my life.

What happened?

Just won the Dubai Duty Free
lottery. Three million Dirhams!

Enough?

Me asking is the problem!

What are you cooking up
in your head?

I have serious doubts
about Ismi.

What doubts?

Jesna is her friend. Still she found
an excuse to not come with us. She...

- She has a headache.
- Nonsense. It's all a lie.

There's something amiss.

Sulu, please stop making up stories
for no reason.

Can I tell you something?

If we just keep thinking
of the same thing...

we'll just make a mess of it.

We'll just lose our peace of mind.
Nothing else.

Think of something that
makes you happy.

Is there anything that
will make me happy?

Let's get Ismi married
off this year.

- Now, that does make me happy.
- Of course.

But one thing...

don't bring any proposals from
your family.

Over my dead body!

And why so?

I don't want my daughter
to repeat my mistake. Got it?

Ah...

Like father, like daughter!

'Repeat my mistake!'

Once, a husband went to
meet a doctor...

straight away he told the doctor...

'You have to let me go off fast'...

'I've to go have breakfast
with my wife'.

The doctor smiled and asked him...

'Is that so important?'

'My wife has Alzheimer's',
the man said.

'She doesn't even recognize me',
he added.

The doctor asked...

'If that's the case,
then what's the hurry?'

The man's response to that
is quite noteworthy.

'It's just that my wife doesn't
recognize me...'

'but I do recognize her.'

This kind of understanding is what
makes a marriage successful.

A wife understanding what her
husband means to her...

a husband understanding what
his wife means to him.

But for that, you need
to be mentally prepared

to open up to each other.

Let me ask you something.

When was the last time you hugged
your wife, unfeigned?

Guess you don't remember.

Anyway, lets make this interesting.
Why don't you guys stand up once?

I'll give you thirty seconds.

Let's see you hugging each other.

Your own spouses, please!

Bro!

Why are we paying him so much
to hug our own wives?

What on earth is this?

At least I'm getting a hug for
what it's worth!

[Malayalam folk song]

Kareem, how's the biryani?

As good as Alam's Biryani
back in Kozhikode!

- Really?
- Really.

That's because it
is Alam's Biryani.

I flew him and his team
down here yesterday.

You are something else!

Enjoy the meal.

Go, have food.

Hey! Come with me.

- Let me just eat this.
- Just come.

I haven't had anything since morning!

Will tell you inside the car.

- Rahim, start the car.
- It's blocked. Can't get inside.

Who the hell parked like this?

- You get in from the other side.
- That's also blocked.

Are these guys nuts to park
their cars like this?

Who does such nonsense?

Mister!

What parking is this, man?
What parking?

I understand Malayalam.

Who parks like this?
How are we supposed to get in?

- I've parked in the right spot.
- What right spot?

Can't you see the parking line?

Yes. And you've
parked across that line.

Wha...

Leave it.

But this line is...
that line...

Were you even looking
when you parked?!

See where you've parked!

Sweetheart, come here.

Get out of the way.

Don't look there.

Take out the car now, you...

Make it fast.

- I'll fire him today.
- Whatever.

- She's not picking up.
- You get in the car first.

I am so hungry!

Sulu... tell me
what is going on!

Jesna eloped with someone.

Salaam's daughter?!

With whom?

How would I know?

Good Lord! Kids these days are just...

Feels like my heart
is going to explode.

Saina collapsed right on the
stage on hearing the news.

She seemed so innocent.
Can't believe she had such guts.

How did she evade everyone
and run off though?

Wore a Burqa and ran away.
How will anyone know?

I've always been against the Burqa.

Back home, I had brought this up
once during our party meeting.

A few Muslims didn't like it.

They expelled me from the primary
membership. Know that?

We shouldn't have left in a
hurry in such a situation.

Yeah. Sure.

See what your daughter does?

I've been trying to
contact her since then.

Her phone is always busy.

And now it's switched off.

Why can't she call back?

See. Busy again.

Must be a network issue
in our apartment.

Yeah. Sure.

You have no clue about your
daughter's networking!

See...

Wait till I get back home.

Her phone is busy again.
Why can't she call us back?

Sulu, calm down.
We're here.

Hi Sir! The wedding ended early?

No, Son.
Ma'am has loose motions

We returned because
she wants use the loo.

Oh, okay.

Why are you embarrassing me?

But I had to tell him something.

You should have said
you have loose motions.

He wouldn't have believed that.

Hello Mr. Shyam!

Yes, the concreting will
definitely happen tomorrow.

I've made all the arrangements.

Yes.

Oh, no no.

Not that 3000 sq feet.
That we will do next week.

We have just ordered
the materials for that.

Let this finish first.
We will do that next week.

Okay, Sir.

- 15?
- You didn't press the button?

Why didn't you? Is there a rule
that only I should do it?

You got in and stood next to it.

Now its going to go down again!

Sulu... what were you
saying the bride did?

Just give me the keys!

Kareem! Don't see you
at the gym these days?

I think I have too
many muscles already.

- Will come when I lose some.
- Ah, okay.

Ismi.

Don't wake her
up if she's sleeping.

Ismi.

God!

Ismi...

Ismi...

Ismi...

You've been hiding here
all this while. Hey you!

Oh God.

She was right here?

Get in now!
Come here.

What's wrong with you, Mom?

Are you deaf? I've been screaming
out forever.

I've been here, listening to music.

Couldn't you just call my phone?

Sure. As if you pick up my calls.

I've been calling you all the way
from that wedding venue.

Your number was busy.
Busy! Busy!

Why can't you just call back?

I did. Can't help it if
your phone is off.

Oh God. Look how she is lying
with a straight face.

You liar!

My phone was switched off it seems.

- Dad! What's all this?
- Sulu!

Please keep it low.
Why tell our neighbours as well?

Mom, give my phone back.

- You don't need a phone from now.
- Please, Mom.

- Give me the phone.
- First, tell me the truth.

Who have you been talking to?

Who? I haven't been
talking to anyone.

Then why was your number busy
all this while?

Tell me, why was it busy?

What's all this, Mom?

Let me see what's in it.

What's this?

Why have you locked it?

She's definitely hiding
something.

Now tell me the truth.

Who was calling you?

I'll smash this into pieces if
you don't tell me the truth.

Just unlock it for her.
Let her be happy.

What's this, Dad?
I'm not a little kid.

What about my privacy?

Your what?

What do you want?

Privacy!

See. Now who's this?

Who's this?

Sulu, that's from the Customer Care.
Don't pick it up.

At this hour at night? Customer care?

You know nothing.
It's those Customer Care folks.

They cut the call.

See, it's ringing again.

Let me see what 'Customer Care'
want.

Hello.

They cut the call.

From when did these guys start
hanging up?

Now who's this?
Vicks?

Is this the medicine for
your headache?

That's my friend.

Friend? Let me see.

Ismi...

Is your Mom, 'Mrs. Doubt-fire'
back home?

Say that to your own mother!

Of course, he cut the call.

Do you see now how your
adorable daughter operates?

Is this what you tell
your friends about me?

You told your friends that
she was a 'Mrs. Doubt-fire'?

All such things should stay
within the family.

- What?
- Oh, okay you can tell people.

Let me call him back.

Goodness! What's with this lock?

Have you hidden some treasure
inside? Unlock it now!

What! Wait...

Wait till I get hold of you...

Open the door!

Ismi!

She shut the door from inside.

- She's not opening it.
- Sulu!

Why are you getting paranoid
over this?

She's a kid. It's their age.
Let it go.

Yeah, she's a kid!

Why don't you sing
her a lullaby then?!

She is a grown up girl.

If she does something stupid...

you better find a place to hide
yourself... and that bald head.

- Hello, Sir!
- Yeah, go on...

Started again.

Did we ever imagine that...

Salaam's daughter would do this?

- No.
- Exactly.

Only a girl and God knows what
goes on inside her head.

I'm telling you all this so that you
don't end up like Salaam.

- Got it?
- Yes.

Don't think things at Salaam's
house would be as bad as this!

I'm so hungry!

Hello.

Listen, don't call me for a while.

Don't ask. I somehow managed
to wriggle out of it.

Mom made a big issue out of it.

I snatched the phone and ran in.

Dad is also here.

Call me only when I message you.

Okay?

Done.

God!

Did you mix curd in the Sambaar?

Who does that?

Then why does it taste sour?

Any dish will turn sour if kept
inside the fridge for a month.

You please listen to me.

It's not as simple as you think.

These phone calls have been
going on for a while.

She just whispers on it
all the time.

And cuts the call whenever
I'm passing by.

But who's calling her so much?

That same guy, Vicks.

The one who called you
Mrs. Doubt-fire?

Yeah, that devil.

And his real name is not Vicks
or anything.

- Vivek. That's his name.
- Really?

He stays in the C Block.
Apartment 1001.

Good Lord!

How did you get all this info?

A normal human should have
some level of intelligence...

or common sense...

or at least care a little
about their family.

You don't have any of these.

Concrete. Concrete. Concrete.

Tomorrow we are laying
the concrete at Shyam Sir's house.

You better shut up
and listen to me.

Tell me. What should I do?

We should go to their place and
figure what this is about.

Let's inform the guy's parents.

- Can I finish this first?
- Finish it fast. Then we'll go.

Seriously?
In the middle of the night?

They must be sleeping.

Wait till the morning.
We'll go then.

You just get some good sleep.

You go sleep!

I won't be able to
sleep in peace.

We have to fix this first
thing tomorrow morning.

I have to go to the site
tomorrow morning.

No work happens if I'm not around.

And Shyam Sir will kill me
if I don't turn up.

I will kill you if you
don't come with me.

Decide... who do you want to
get killed by.

God, you know she's
my only daughter!

Please guide her to the right path.

My head's bursting.

Sulu...

- Sulu.
- What?

Can I get some more rice?

There's nothing left!

Rice. Concrete.
Rice. Concrete.

I've never seen anyone like you.

Is the sweet ready?

Ready to be served!

- Can I taste it?
- Yeah.

It's hot.

- Super!
- Really?

- Sweet enough?
- Yeah.

What are you worried about?

I'm worried about you.

What did I do now?

Remember, we aren't going there
with a marriage proposal.

- So?
- We don't know what his dad is like.

Or how they would react to this.

Don't try to boss them around,
the way you do with me.

Just be at your best behaviour.

I'm not even going to talk.
You take the lead.

- Sure?
- Yeah.

Thank God!

Hope you won't show your
true colours on getting there!

Can't get through to his
number even on his birthday!

Does he know it's his birthday?

Who knows? I don't get him at all.

You look pretty.

What?

You...

look really beautiful in this.

Burn all those nighties of yours.

Wear these everyday.

Really?

Then why don't
you do this Balu...

Buy me a hundred like these.

I can wear a new one everyday.

No?

Not now... the sweet... Balu...

[Doorbell rings]

Don't shout at him.
It's his birthday.

What an ideal brother!

Yes?

Guess we got the address wrong...
come let's go.

Why did you tell him
we got the address wrong?

We came to the right place.

Didn't you recognise him?

Why wouldn't I?
I'm not blind.

What are you afraid of?

- I'll talk to them.
- That's what I'm afraid of!

- Come with me or I'm going alone.
- Sulu!

Just come.

[Doorbell rings]

Yes?

Anything wrong?

No...

That thing yesterday... at the
parking lot.

We just came to apologize.

And what's wrong in meeting
and getting to know people anyway.

We live in Block A.

You come in.

Apartment Number 715 in A Block.

- Please sit down.
- Uh?

- Please sit down.
- Ah.

- Didn't get your name.
- Yeah, didn't get your name.

What's your name?

No... I was asking your...

Oh, my name?

Abdul Kareem.

- This is my wife.
- Sulfi.

- What do you do?
- I...

work as a contractor.

Not a big one at that.

Just a few small constructions...
with the Bengali labourers.

Big or small, a contractor is
always high up the ladder.

I'm Balakrishnan.

I'm an insurance agent.

Also a motivational speaker...
just a side gig.

This is my wife, Lakshmi.

- Let me get some tea for you.
- Please. No.

We just dropped in on
our way somewhere.

- We'll leave now.
- But...

You're coming for the first time.

We just had tea.

And I've to get to work fast.

There's some concreting work
going on there.

The cement hasn't been delivered.
And there's shortage of steel bars.

You know how these
Bengali labourers are.

Need constant overseeing.

- Hello?
- Listen Shyam Sir...

I'll call you back.

- Should I call you back...
- I'll call you back.

Uh... you wanted to hang out, right?

Seems like we are 'hung'...

What?

I mean... we have hung out now.

We'll definitely hang out more.

We'll have tea then.

Let's go.

We'll leave now.

Kareem!

- Is there any problem?
- Not at all.

Come with me.

- What were we here for?
- Are you mad, Sulu?

I'm not, you are.

You froze like a
deer in a headlight!

I didn't freeze.

You saw them right.

Think they have a son old
enough to pester our daughter?

Do I look like someone who has
a daughter old enough for wedlock?

You look like someone who would've
had a daughter before wedlock.

I think you got the wrong guy.

I am sure I got the right guy.

Why are you so hesitant in
telling them?

I'm not hesitant.

We can't just barge in on
a weekend and say stuff.

How indecent!

Don't teach me decency.
I know all about it.

Sulu, they look like decent people...

Of course they are. It's their
son who's the problem.

Kareem Bhai! How are you?

We are...

- What are you doing here?
- This...

They came to meet me.

Oh. Okay.

The lift is under repair.

It'll take at least half an hour.

What did he say?

The lift isn't working.
Let's take the steps.

No way! I'm too tired for that.

Can't climb all the way down.

Let's wait inside till it's fixed.
Is that okay?

Sure... Come, let's have tea.

- Forget tea and all.
- No. We'll have tea.

I have a terrible headache.

See. It's all God's plan.
He damaged the lift.

Yeah, right...
because God is a Mitsubishi employee.

- You'll tell them, right?
- Yes, but you keep quiet.

The lift is always under repair
in our block too.

Really?
It's frequent here as well.

Lakshmi...

It's Vivek's birthday today.
So I made some dessert.

We didn't come here to
taste your pudding.

Your kid is a nuisance.

Didn't get you...

Your Vivek...
he is quite the troublemaker.

Are you sure you're talking
about our Vivek?

Yes, him.

He's been troubling my daughter.

Vivek is troubling
your daughter?

I don't believe it.

I have proof.

His incessant calls!

Listen. You can't just walk in
and talk nonsense.

You've come early
in the day to say this?!

Lakshmi...
Cool.

Could you tell me your
daughter's name?

Ismi.

- Ismi.
- It's Ismi.

Ah, Ismi.

So your daughter Ismi told
you that our Vivek...

has been troubling
your Ismi with calls.

Is that why you came here?

Didn't get it?

Let me elaborate.

Did you come here because your Ismi
told you that our Vivek has been

'troubling her', your daughter,
by making incessant calls?

Or did you come here because
'you' felt that our Vivek has been

troubling your daughter by
making incessant calls?

Is my question clear now?

Why would she have to tell us that?

That doesn't make sense.

We also need to know the truth.

You've been complaining about
Vivek right?

Yes.

Cool cool.

It is obvious that you guys came
to talk about some serious matter.

Suppose what you're saying
is true...

- It is true.
- If so...

So is your issue with our
Vivek calling...

your daughter and troubling her...

or is it because...

you think they are in love?

Balu!

Vivek is not having an affair
with anyone. I'm sure.

You're sure right?

Even my daughter is not in
love with any moron!

Listen, let's all calm down.

Every action has an equal and
opposite reaction.

That's right.

I know it just too well.

Mr. Kareem, what is your take
on all this?

According to me...

this guy...

- Vivek.
- Yeah, Vivek.

It's some confusion regarding Vivek
trying to call Ismi. Nothing big.

What the hell?!

- It's just that, right?
- Is that how you say it?

- Now, listen to me carefully.
- Okay.

If the phone calls are a nuisance...

there's a medicine for that.

But if they are in love,
there's no medicine for that.

Even if there is, you give that
medicine to your son!

We didn't come here with a
marriage proposal.

There is no guy here for
your proposal as well.

Lakshmi. Cool, cool.

My next question is
extremely relevant.

For how long has Vivek been
calling your daughter?

Any idea?

This nuisance has
been going on for a long time.

Fair enough.

In that case...
has your daughter

been responding to those calls?

- No.
- Yes.

- No?
- We don't know.

How's that even an answer?!

You were saying you have proof.

When you're accusing someone,

especially with such things,

you should have solid proof
and credible information.

- Am I right Mr. Kareem?
- Absolutely.

Whose side are you on?

- But he does make sense.
- Nonsense.

Balu, can you come in
for a minute?

Just come!

- What did we come here for?
- Let me explain.

There they go!

Why are you supporting them?

- I wasn't supporting.
- Then?

But doesn't our daughter
talk to that guy?

Did we come here to
tell them that?

Are you taking one of
your motivation classes there?

That lady is crazy.

How dare she come to our
house and talk like that?

That too about Vivek.
It's his birthday.

I'm not going to
stand this any more.

Keep your voice down!

Balu, I am losing it!

Go, get rid of them.

They came to our home
throwing accusations.

Shouldn't we find out
what the truth is?

You really think Vivek would
do something like this?

Do you?

- No.
- Then?

Don't stress me out more, please!

You go and figure out a way
to get rid of them.

Relax. We'll figure it out.
Come.

I'm not a part of this.

Sulu, have you gone mad?

I had warned you before
coming here.

You can't walk in to a stranger's
house and blabber nonsense.

Learn some manners from me.

And act as if I swallowed my
own tongue?

Did someone gag you?

I had to speak because
you refused to.

Ismi is your daughter
as well right?

- Any doubts on that?
- Yeah.

- What?
- No. That's not what I meant.

Why are we scared of them?

Who me? I'm not scared.

You're the only one in the
world I'm scared of.

Good for you.

I didn't get a word
of what he said.

- Neither did I.
- What?

Then why were you
nodding for everything?

So that they don't understand
that we did not understand!

- He and his...
- Stop.

Listen...

Are you sure it's Vivek who has

been calling and troubling
your daughter?

Have you met Vivek before?

Is there anyone who
doesn't know Vivek?

This has gone on for too
long now.

You mistook him for
someone else.

Not at all.
I'll show you the proof now.

[Doorbell rings]

Excuse me.

Who is this now!

- What is it?
- The lift is working now, Sir.

Ah, thank you.

[Doorbell rings]

- Now what?
- Forgot to say something.

The water supply will shut from
eight till nine.

Okay. Go now.

Didn't find the photo yet?

Calm down. I'll show it to you.

That's why we've come anyway.

There!

Isn't this your beloved Vivek?

Is this your proof?

Balu, they've taken it
from his Facebook.

This is just a photo.

Wait till I show you the video.

There is a video?!

Hello Sir! Kareem here.

Bloody idiot! You took all my money,
broke the roof

and now how will you finish
the concreting?

Sir, it will be done today.

I've sent around twenty
labourers there.

And have arranged for
all the materials.

And on whose head will you
build the roof?

- Those labourers are useless.
- Show the video.

Sir, just show the video.

Hell...
He cut the call.

You guys carry on.
I'll be back in no time.

You'll leave me alone here?

How's that fair?
Let's sort this out first.

Why don't you take a seat?

I had some urgent things at work.

Show me the video.

- Yeah, I will.
- Yeah, do it.

Hello.

I think...

I think it got deleted.

These guys are definitely
trying to trick us.

First you told there's a photo.

Then a video. And now
it got deleted apparently.

They think they can fool us.

But I did show you the photo.

Listen... all this trickery will work
in Kerala.

This is Dubai.

You'll get into trouble.

[Doorbell rings]

Zubair...

Whose mother's grave
are you digging now?

Shyam Sir called me and
cursed the devil out of me.

Didn't I tell you there is
concreting today?

Listen, I had an accident
on my way to work...

I'll call you back.

You crashed the car?!

- Yes?
- We're Vivek's friends.

- He isn't here.
- He is on the line.

Uh... Hello?

Hey! They are my friends.

There is a small issue.
They have eloped.

Could they stay with us
just for a day?

Eloped?!

Oh, there is nothing to worry.

They have registered their
marriage at the court in Kerala.

Listen Vivek... where are you now?
Just come here first.

There has already been an
issue because of you.

Don't cause any more, please!
Get that?

Isn't that Salaam's daughter?

What do you care who that is!

Listen... no one can stay with us.

I'll give them the phone.
You explain things to them.

Sorry.

- What did he say?
- He said he'll come.

- Let me inform Salaam.
- What for?!

His daughter is here.
Think of what he is going through.

- We too have a daughter.
- Exactly! Think about her for now.

She eloped and that
won't change.

We are here to make
sure your daughter doesn't.

Just sit!

Don't do it!

What is this, Balu?

There's two crosses to
bear seated in our living room.

Three others came and left.

Your brother has gone bonkers.

Does he have an endless
supply of plans that cause trouble?!

Does he?
I just don't get it.

Why must I ruin my
weekend for your brother?

But in any case...
why are they here?

And that lady has been
telling lies after lies!

Enough, Balu! Get rid of these
nutcases and do whatever after that.

Come.

- Wasn't that Salaam's daughter?
- Doesn't matter. They've left.

- This is a cybercrime.
- Ah.

- Wait... Cybercrime?!
- What?

- You were talking about a video?
- What video?

The one you said got deleted.

Who shot that?
You?

- No! I am not crazy to do that.
- Then, who shot it?

- I don't know.
- Where did you get that video from?

Call your son.
Ask him.

Stop fooling around.
You can talk to us.

But she does have a point.

Call the boy.
We can ask him directly.

We can solve this peacefully.

His phone is off.
Let's discuss this between us first.

Where did you get the video from?

Sulu... my love, just tell them
where you got it from.

Time's being wasted.
We need to get back home.

Is your daughter in the video?

No! Definitely not!

Then why won't you tell us
where you got the video from?

Balu, I think her daughter
is the troublemaker.

No, she is not!

I have raised her well!

Listen... today is a
special occasion for us.

I have been speaking to
you with all due respect.

I already told you this
seems like a cybercrime.

What is the big deal in telling us
where you got the video from?

- The problem is...
- Sulu, my dear...

- Zubair...
- Hang up right now!

You hang up right now!
Oh I mean... Zubair...

Did you go to Mr. Shyam's site?

Oh yes, I am here.
The concreting work has begun.

- Praise be to the Lord!
- He was really upset.

- Did he say anything about me?
- Oh, nothing at all.

But there was something about
your mother being a...

Jeez. What has she got to
do with this! Okay, go on now.

Listen... most of the cyber
department officers are my clients.

I just need to make
one phone call.

And then you'll be blurting out
answers to their questions.

You don't want that kind of trouble.

Sulu, my love...
didn't you hear him?

Just tell them who
sent you the video.

That will solve the matter.

I cannot say that.

This has gone on for too long!
Stop testing my patience.

No need to threaten us.

You don't know your son.

What are you even saying...
Son?

Firstly, he is not our son.
He is my brother.

- Brother?
- Yes!

We don't have children.

That explains it!
They don't have children.

Only those who have children will
know what this despair feels like.

It's more like...
we don't have children... yet.

Mr. Balu...

You senseless woman! You think
you can say whatever you want?

What did I say?

Why can't you understand the despair
of couples who don't have children?

How dare she say that Balu?
Don't you have anything to say?

Her saying that means nothing.

Only we know what
we are going through.

Today's a good day.
Forget it. Cheer up.

Just get them to leave.

I will do just that.

But not before
we clarify the nonsense

they have been saying
about our family.

You relax. Don't worry about it.

It's been a while.
Shall we go?

- Go where?
- Home.

- Go home?
- Yes

You created this mess.

We can't just go without solving it.

- What mess did I create?
- Oh, so I created this issue?

You claimed you had a video
and started this whole issue.

And then you blabbered
insensitive nonsense

and made that girl cry.

Here's what you can do.

Either, you say it was a mistake
and apologize

Or at least tell me
who sent you that video.

- That I cannot.
- Why not?

I swore by the Lord
that I won't tell anyone.

Oh... then don't.

Ismi and I will visit you
at the jail.

Eh? At the jail?

Didn't you hear him?

He is quite influential
with the cybercrime guys.

One phone call and
the cops will be here.

The two of you will leave only
after you tell us about the video.

Hey hey! No need to be melodramatic.

Either you show me the video.
Or you tell us where you got it from.

Until then you both can stay here.

What's the point of
sitting here and crying?

Go talk to that girl.

Tell her that we have a daughter

and you said those things
out of your worry for her.

Tell her you are sorry
and not to inform the police.

Go apologize.
Go, quick.

I'll call you later!

I wasn't trying to hurt you.

I said it out of my fears.

I only have one child.

We were living in Kerala.
She was studying there.

One of her classmates was
in a relationship with a boy.

When they got into a fight...

...he slit her throat with a blade!

We were worried sick for her.

That's why we brought Ismi here.

And now here... these phone calls...

they have me scared to the bone.

That's why I blurted that out.

I am sorry.

Mr. Balu, I am sorry.

She wasn't trying
to hurt you both.

She is a typical countryside person.

She isn't very educated and
blurts out everything on her mind.

She has been here
only for six months.

Quite the halfwit she is!

You saw what happened now...

She started crying when
you raised your voice.

And now she has gone to
beg your wife's forgiveness.

Her senselessness...
I can understand.

Why would you let her convince
you to get into these situations?

It's not like that, Sir.

She didn't allow me to
sleep a wink last night.

She had seen a call from
Vivek on Ismi's phone.

She got upset and
was in panic mode all night.

Why don't you take
her to a doctor then?!

We have only one child.
A girl.

We are worried she'd get into
something that's not right for her.

And as if to add
fuel to the fire...

my friend's daughter eloped
with her lover last night.

On her wedding eve that too!

This anxiety begin since
we got to know this news.

In fact, it's the girl who eloped...
who came here a while ago.

Salaam's daughter.

Oh, okay.

Do you think...

Vivek and your daughter
are in a relationship?

Oh dear Sir, no!

Her suspicions are baseless.

I asked my daughter too.
She said "There's nothing, Dad".

This is not as serious as
we are making it out to be.

Brandy, right?

- No, it's whiskey.
- Oh, whiskey is the best.

Isn't it 'forbidden' for you?

Under such special circumstances,
I generally don't worry about it.

Pour me another, please!

[Doorbell rings]

You called the cybercrime guys?

No, I didn't.
Let me check who it is.

- Mr. Balu... right?
- Yes.

Pankajakshan...
the politician from Kerala

he asked me to meet you.

He spoke to you about
a donation for charity.

- Oh, yes.
- I am here to collect that.

- Okay.
- Yeah.

- Your name?
- Hydrose Thunjanparambil.

Oh, yes. He had told me.

I knew you'd be here on a Friday.

Come, let's sit inside and talk.

- Who it it?
- Who is it!

Huh! Who are you?

- A friend of mine.
- Oh, what's your name?

Kareem.

Ah, you're having a weekend party!
Nice.

Carry on.

Who is that?

A visitor from my home-town.

When people from
different communities marry...

it generally never works out.

And Kareem doesn't understand that.
He is an old-time communist.

By the way...

I generally see women wearing
this only for festivals.

Do you wear it everyday?

- Oh you mean the Kerala Saree?
- Yes.

No no. Today is Vivek's birthday.
We went to the temple. So I wore it.

Oh, okay.

So what is this for?

A small charity that comes to
about 10 to 15 million rupees.

Oh, what is the case?

Oh we are getting
this poor kid new knees.

- New niece?
- No... a knee replacement surgery!

- For 1.5 crore rupees?
- Yes, 1.5 crores!

Are you putting in a gold knee?

We need to account for
the accompanying expenses

you know...'other expenses'?

That's where the bulk
of the money goes.

Get it?
If you have any doubts,

- you have two knees, right?
- Yes.

Try replacing one.
You'll know what it takes.

- What's the name of the kid?
- What kid?

- Whose knees are being replaced?
- Oh, not in his name!

In my name, please.

The money for the knees
goes through my account.

Hydrose Thunjanparambil.

Hydrose Thunjan... parambil.
T-H as in "Thuthukudi."

Yep, that's right.

Hey!
Why did you bring all this here?

I thought... let's not drink in
the kitchen. If Sulu catches me...

I'll be thrown out of the house.
Clear the table.

Keep it over there.

I feel like I know...
But I am not sure who exactly he is!

- You didn't recognize me?
- No.

We met near kitchen?
You got scared...

- Yeah...
- Haleem, right?

- Who?
- I mean... Kareem right?

- That's me...
- Yes!

- Who are you?
- I am Hydrose Thunjanparambil.

Haven't you heard of my YouTube
channel? I go live on it often.

Oh I get it! You collect funds...
in the name of... helping people.

- "The tree of life"?
- Yeah.

Well, people call me several things.
But I don't let it go to my head.

The people know who I really am.

And I know that the people
know who I really am.

So there is nothing to worry about.

Oh, just a moment.

Hello?

Yes, that's right.

Okay... so an eye surgery. Right...

And how old is this girl
who needs new eyes?

What!?

97 years old?!

So she is... your grandmother?

Can your grandmother cry well?

So then just get a good video
of her crying and Whatsapp it to me.

The money will reach
you through my account.

Don't worry.
It'll get to you without any issues.

Yes, okay.
Alright then!

So I need to get going.
I have a video shoot today.

- Will this even get there?
- Of course, it will!

And rest assured,
I will be coming again.

- Kareem...
- Yes?

- See you around!
- Oh, please no!

The things people do to survive!

And people like you
donate to these chaps too!

That politician was after my blood.

Mr. Balu...

I hope you've no grudge against me
for the incident at the car parking.

Oh, I never thought
about it afterwards.

I guess it was your stress
that made you react that way.

10 years is nothing!

My uncle did not
have kids for 18 years!

And when he did have...
he had quadruplets!

Oh wow, so they have four kids now?

No! Twelve.

- One every year after that.
- Wow.

When the Lord decides to bless you,
it will always be in abundance.

Don't worry.

- Which doctor are you meeting?
- Here in...

Phone.

Where have you been?

Come home soon.

We'll order food only
after you get here.

Okay.

- That was Vivek.
- What?

Vivek called.

By the way, have you taken insurance
for your construction workers?

- God, no!
- What... why not?!

Half your stress will go as
soon as you get insurance.

Is it expensive?

Not at all. I'll setup something
on a small premium for you.

- That'll be great.
- Sure, will be!

- Balu!
- Oh no!

She was looking for me.

I'll be back.

He can't do without
Mutton Biryani on Fridays.

I cook it in the morning itself.

You haven't cooked
for the day yet?

- What happened?
- Nothing, just...

Where were you?

I was with Balu...
discussing insurance schemes.

- Don't you have to go?
- Yes, let's leave.

- Vivek will be back soon.
- He called?

Yes.
Said will be back soon.

Since you are here already,
meet him and go.

Yeah.
Let me make some tea.

Come, Sulu.

The fool did not catch me!

How many of your employees...

have a work permit?

Let's work on a
policy for them first.

Sulu must not know.

- About the insurance?
- No!

That I had a couple of drinks.

Oh that she won't come to know!

In any case... on Fridays
under special circumstances...

isn't it allowed?

The only thing allowed for us
on Fridays is the Friday prayer.

Get it?

So then don't drink.

When the Lord presents us with
the opportunity...

and we don't take it,
do you think he'd forgive us?

This... the Lord understands.

That devil won't!

She is going to kill me today!

Vivek always wants tea
when he gets home.

Oh, interesting.

- You both have sugar, right?
- Oh, a lot!

Kareeem puts 4 teaspoons
of sugar in a cup of tea.

Four?! At that rate you'd
have to buy sugar in sacks!

Yes, that's how we do it!

- Really?
- Yeah!

[Doorbell rings]

I'll watch it.

- Oh God!
- Boss, you're back!

- What happened?
- Where were you?

It's my birthday today.
I went out with my friends.

My phone ran out of battery.

You've no idea about
the mess you've created.

- What happened?
- I'll tell you.

This is the Vivek you've come
looking for.

Hi Aunty!

- Hey...
- Yes?

Do you know her daughter Ismi?

Yes, I do.

- How do you know her?
- We're friends.

How do you know each other?

Ismi is my best friend.

Okay, and how did that happen?

We studied together.

Where?

Thrissur Engineering College.

Ah!

- Is there a problem?
- No, no.

- I can call her.
- No, don't!

She called me today
morning too. That's why...

- Happy now?
- Uh, yeah.

Sis, can you get me my passport?

Why?

I urgently need to
make a couple of copies.

- Keep an eye on the tea, please?
- Yes, of course.

Oh, and...

- the power bank too, please.
- Okay.

- You have insurance, right?
- Yes.

Oh, then your wife
and daughter are safe.

We live for our family, don't we?
You need to sit back and enjoy life!

- We should enjoy, right?
- Yes, we should.

Then how about another drink?

That's creative.

- So we'll do this after that?
- Yes.

Let me get it.

Son, do you call Ismi often?

I do.

Well, don't.

She is preparing for her exams.

She needs to study, right?

So, don't call her.

- Aunty, come on!
- What?

Ah... we just met.

When did you come?

Just now.

- A word...?
- What is it?

- What really is your plan?
- What do you mean?

Thanks to you,
I have no peace in life!

What happened?

You think only you have friends?

You're always out with friends.

You help them elope.

You expect us to accommodate them.

What the hell man?

Listen Bro... this is not Kerala.
This is Dubai.

I haven't been lucky enough to
see the jails here.

Don't try to inflict
that good fortune upon me!

Why did you come here?

- To find a job.
- Ah, you remember!

So first take care of yourself.

Then look into other
people's matters.

Listen...

In ten days, your visa will expire.

If you love your
sister even a bit...

please go back home!

Okay?

Okay, go now.

Sulu, I swear by God, I was praying!

Why are you here?

Brother, our hero is here.

- Who?
- Vivek.

- Ah!
- Shall I get him here?

- Why?
- You should talk to him.

What can I say to him?

Brother...

Well... it is because
of him that we

happened to meet and
get to know each other.

- Yeah...
- So you should talk to him.

What do we even tell these kids?

Here you go.

- Don't you want this?
- Oh, yes.

- Don't you want tea?
- No.

- Get back soon, please.
- I will!

Hmm.

I really... cannot...
stand any kind of misunderstanding.

I need to put my mind at ease.

Also, he is a bit of a brat.

It will be good if you have a go
at him and advise him.

Then get him here.
I will advise him!

- Will you fall asleep?
- No!

Such a nice man!

Can you pass me that tray?

Hey... where is Vivek?

He left.

- He went out?
- Yeah.

When?

A while back.

Drat!

Why?

Nothing.

Hello... where is the boy?

What a crazy kid!
He stepped out again.

Stepped on whom?

I mean he went out.
Should be back soon.

So... I was happily taking a nap.
And you woke me up...

asking me to advice your
brother-in-law and left.

You return and say that he left!
Are you mocking me?

- Brother...
- Don't you 'Brother' me!

I am not going to fall
for your sweet talk!

Go get your brother-in-law!

Please don't yell...

And what will happen if I do?

They will hear us.

Let them hear!
I don't give a darn!

Call your brother-in-law!

Why are you getting angry?

What else do you expect me to get
when my ass is on fire!

Brother, please calm down.

Nothing big enough has
happened for you to lose your cool.

Well, not yet.
But if nothing else must happen...

just bring your brother-in-law here.

Yes, yes. He'll be back.
Just wait for a bit.

Oh yeah? I should wait for him?!

Is there no value for my time?!

Call him on the phone.

His phone is off.

Fine, bring his phone.
I'll switch it on for him.

Don't try to hide him

and play these tricks on me, Balu!

- You're drunk.
- What?

- You are drunk!
- I am drunk, huh?

Wow! So I am... drunk.

And you are fine!

So what did you drink then?
Some scented tea?!

You invite decent people over,
give them alcohol

and insult them?

I was joking...

You think you can joke around
with me?

Do you know who I am?

You think you know Abdul Kareem,

the son of Parakaattil
Abdul Rahman Haji?

- Do you?
- No.

If what Sulu was saying
turns out to be true...

If he has called
my daughter even once on the phone,

one phone call is what it will take.

The best of our
men will be flown in

from Kozhikode
on a chartered flight.

They will chop your brother-in-law
like a 'Shawarma'.

They will crush
his body on the floor and...

Do you know what a Kuboos is?

Yes, I have it everyday.

So they will put him in a Kuboos
and shove him down your throat.

Shut your mouth!

What are you doing...
a breathing exercise?!

- What did you say?
- I said nothing.

No, earlier.
Every action... what?

Every action has an equal
and opposite reaction.

And who is reacting now?!

Open your mouth and speak!

- It is paining!
- Pain? What are you in... labour?!

Zubair... Call me later!

- It's my phone.
- Oh, who's calling?

- Boss...
- Whose Boss?

Right now... I am your boss!
Cut the call!

- Are we done?
- No!

You made my Sulu cry.

We have been married for 22 years.

I have never said
a word that hurt her feelings

or brought a tear to her eye.

You know?!

A decent gentleman would never
make a woman cry.

Especially... a non-resident Indian.

How about you deal
with the man here?

Come on!

You're barely a match for me!

What did you say?

You'll call the
cybercrime guys, huh!

There isn't one
cybercrime officer in Dubai

who I don't know personally.

Sit down!

You want to draft
insurance policies

for my guys who
have a work permit!

- No.
- Go ahead... make one now!

I can't find my pen...

No point having a pen,
if you don't know how to write!

You know why you don't have kids?

To have kids, you
need to have a good... that thing...

- ...heart! A good heart!
- Stop saying rubbish!

What will you do if I don't?
Shave my...

Good Lord!

My dear good God!
What is this?

My love... are you hurt?

- Of course not!
- Why is he slurring?

- Balu, what happened?
- I did nothing.

He got drunk, stumbled and
fell onto the table!

You were drinking?!

As such, he is an absent-minded man
with bare minimum senses working.

There is no stopping him when drunk.

He broke one at our home last week.

Why did you give him alcohol?!

I didn't even offer it to him.
He walked in and helped himself!

You don't know the
performance he just put up here!

Because this is my home and
he is here with you

I am keeping my cool.

I too drink.

What kind of behaviour is this?!

Get him and get out!

Get up.
I said... get up!

- Walk!
- Hey!

Come over to my place sometime!

- Sorry.
- Okay.

Keep walking!

You walk!
Should I hold you?

Darn this.
What have they done?!

You can blame your
darling brother for this!

Clean it.

What's taking so long.
Walk!

Wait wait.
I forgot my spectacles.

Your darned spectacles!

And my mobile?

Will a poke in your face
wake you up?!

Gulped down alcohol
that wasn't even offered

got sloshed and created a scene.
How embarrassing, Lord!

Do you know what you did
in a stranger's house?

It was my good fortune
that you didn't get slapped.

All of this happened
just because of you.

I begged you to not come here.

If we had stayed at home,
none of this would have happened.

But why would we, right?!

Firstly, you need to learn to
listen to your man.

Let's get home.
I'll show you how that's done.

Today you are finished!

Good God! Tomorrow there's
concreting at our site.

Get in!

What nuisance!

Hey! Not like that.
You'll get cut.

Fine!

What a mess!

I'll do it, Love.
Step back.

Wonder what set
off the day's fortunes!

Come!

- Aren't we going to our flat?
- No, we aren't.

Hey Ismi!

Stop it. Come here!

Give me the keys.

Always creating trouble!

Come in.

Get inside.

- Ismi?
- Ismi?

Ismi?

Where is she?
Ismi!

Never responds... this girl!

Ismi!

Hey... Ismi!

What are you doing there?

Come here.

- Dad!
- Come inside!

- Yes, Dad?
- Who is this?

- A friend.
- A friend?!

Sulu...
Step aside.

- Uncle...
- Come here!

Uncle? Whose uncle?

Unc...

- That's him!
- Him?

Vivek!

- You!
- Hey... Let me explain!

- Uncle...
- Shut up!

It's not what you think it is.

Hey! Can you now
see her for what she is?

When we were not here...
She... Good Lord!

Listen to me... please!

You are misunderstanding
the situation. It's not like that!

- Please Uncle... I did not...
- Go inside!

I did not do anything!
Don't shut the door, please.

Open the door, Uncle!

Open the door, please!

Ismi... tell them!

- Mom! Can you hear me out?
- No need for that!

I am going to kill you today.

You've spoilt her like a brat!

Yes!

Don't talk.
Don't even try your tricks!

- Who is it?
- Unknown number.

Hello?

Are you sure it's Vivek?

No need to call the police.
We are coming right away.

What happened?

Your darling brother is...
locked up in that Kareem's house.

- What for?
- God knows.

What the hell is he up to?

We'll come back and clean up.
Let's go.

What's the point of crying
after creating this mess?

- Mom... I...
- Let me out, please!

What did I even do
to be locked up like this?

Uncle, I have not done anything.
Open the door!

Ismi, ask him to open the door.

Uncle, this is too much!

Shut up!

Your family has been informed.
Let them come.

- Mom... Mom, let me explain...
- You want to spoil our name?!

You want to bring us disrepute?!

[Doorbell rings]

Once they leave,
you'll get the rest of your share!

Don't you dare speak,
when they talk!

Where is he?

Come on in.

Now do you admit
your brother is no saint?

When I said it, you didn't want to
hear a word of it!

He sneaks in here, when she's alone!

You were making
big statements earlier!

See what he has done now.

What do we do now?
Call the cops?

Ask him to open the door.
And tell me what have I even done?!

Let him out first.

Let him out and bring him here.

We can ask him directly
what's all this about.

Discuss what?!

What he did is forbidden and
unforgivable!

He waited for us to leave
and snuck in when she was alone.

He saw us in your apartment.

He saw an opportunity
and snuck in here.

Don't you dare speak!

Why did you come in here
when she was alone?

I came here to
celebrate my birthday.

Ismi is my friend.

What friend?

Why are you celebrating
your birthday here?

Can you give me a moment?
Let me ask the questions.

Why did you come here?

Why are you all talking like this?
What is the problem here?

- Have you come here before?
- Yes, I have.

Goodness gracious!
People must have seen it.

So your problem is that two friends
met to cut a birthday cake?

We met and cut a cake
for Ismi's birthday too!

Dear Lord! Forgive us!
What more must I hear!

How long has this been going on?

There you go! This is your problem.

Can a man and woman only have
one kind of relationship?

Which era are you living in?

Dad, he is telling the truth.
We're just good friends.

Shut up.

I've heard this friends
nonsense for too long now.

Don't you have any female friends?

Why aren't you saying anything?

What do we do next?

What is there to be done?
Call the cops!

Please...

[Doorbell rings]

Who is that?
Huh?

Hi Uncle!
Is Ismi home?

- Uh... yeah, but...
- Come

Hi! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Excuse me, kid.
One moment.

Aren't you Salaam's daughter?

Yes.

Let me call Salaam.

Salaam... your daughter is here
at my place.

I don't want to hear
anything about her.

She's dead to me since yesterday.
Anything else?

Salaam! What are you saying?!

Who did you elope with, kid?

With me.

Vivek!
What the hell?!

It's true.
I asked her to elope with me.

Praise be to God!

So, is this why you took a
visiting visa and came here?

Please don't blame him.

My father arranged my wedding in
a hurry and left us with no choice.

I was planning on telling you
both myself as soon as I got a job.

But things... just went haywire.

Are you happy now?

You made a such a big
fuss just for this.

You misunderstood my
baby for no reason at all!

Forget about it!

[Doorbell rings]

Now who is it?

- Peace be upon you!
- Peace be upon you too!

Who is this guy?!

Hello!

Hey! Happy Birthday Bro!

Hey!

Hey!

Hi!

Hello.

What is going on?

- Hi... Hi!
- Hi.

- Hi! Hello!
- Holla...

- Aunty...
- Hmm?

- This is Omar Bin Abdul Aziz...
- Yes, I am Omar.

- He is a friend of ours.
- Hmm.

- He is an excellent footballer.
- So?

Aunty...

The guy you've been looking for...
the "Customer Care" guy...

That's him!

He and Ismi have been in a
relationship for a while now.

Is that true?!

Yes, Mom. I am in love with Omar.
Omar is my man!

Omar is your man?!

Good God!

- Oh Lord...
- Mom!

Hey hey!
Nobody move. Don't touch her.

Let her stay there silent for a bit.

[Malayalam folk song]

- Hello! How are you? All good?
- Hmm.

Why are you sitting alone
away from the proceedings?

I am here.
What else can I do?

I don't want people to think
that I am in favour of this.

What?

A lot of people live like you.

You are born,
you wonder what people will think...

and then you die.

Must you spend your entire life
wondering what people will think?

I mean... I am just saying.

It is your life and
your decision to make.
