Marana Simhasanam (1999) - full transcript
I'm worried about our boy.
It's taken more days than expected
to plant, Krishnan.
It will be done tomorrow, Master.
Here it is.
For both of you.
50g of tea.
50g chilli powder, 1kg rice.
2 rupees of papads.
50ml oil...
1l kerosene...
39.50 rupees.
Don't spoil him!
Oh, my Lord
The beautiful head
that you cover with flowers and oils
That wants to defy the world
In a few days becomes a skull
Oh, my Lord!
What a contrast!
What will we do after finishing work?
How long will we have to starve?
Just think of our boy starving!
I will find something.
Catch him... thief!
Thief!
Catch him... thief!
Oh, beauty!
Our powerful master
known in the seven regions
will lead you in your country
and will be your wife
Our powerful master
will lead you on the earth
Don't worry little girl, don't fear
We will be there
and will watch over you
But you will have to
forget your prejudices
Don't worry little girl, don't fear
We will be there
and will watch over you
Please spare him, he's innocent.
please...
Don't worry little girl, don't fear
What a fate!
He is a thief,
he stole something yesterday.
I hope they won't hurt him.
No, they won't.
How will his wife and son survive?
Don't be sad.
Come on,
we have to bail him out.
I am helpless,
our Lord won't pay any attention.
You should try.
Poor Krishnan!
The police have charged him
with additional offences.
I could have saved him.
It was bad timing.
The election is coming
and they haven't found
Karunakaran's killer yet.
The police may fake
Krishnan as the killer.
You should do one thing,
go to Viswan,
maybe he can help you.
I feel sorry him.
Washington:
USA has warned the Serbs
that they will face reprisals
unless they allow the War Tribunal and
UN peace keeping troops into Kosovo
to enquire about
the massacre of the Albanians.
NATO has agreed to the air force attack
on Serbian centers in Kosovo.
But the US ambassador
told the press that
they are delaying the attack in the hope
of finding a political solution.
Arial attacks are still possible,
declared NATO
Secretary General, Javier Solano.
Poor woman,
Krishnan hasn't got bail.
If it had been
a simple murder or a knife fight
it would have been easy to resolve.
Don't worry sister,
we will do our best.
Dear villagers...
everyone is requested to vote
Mr. Chathunni is the only true leader
in this democratic Kerala
All are requested to vote for him.
All are requested to vote
for the axe symbol.
Elect Mr. Chathunni.
Vote for him.
Vote for him
who fought for us
at the assembly.
All labours are invited to the protest
against the arrest of comrade Krishnan
that will be held
in our town square at 4pm today.
Dear villagers and labourers,
you are all invited
to the protest against
the arrest of comrade Krishnan,
that will be held in
our town square at 4pm.
Our labourers are becoming
the victims of this fascist police activity.
Fake charges against comrade Krishnan
is a recent example.
We have a prestigious history
of fighting against the British people.
So what I'm asking is, do we need to bend
our knees to some fascist police officers?
What happened in China in 1917?
What happened in France?
Remember one thing,
all of you are peasants, labourers.
We won't let them exploit us!
We have to put up
a fight against the Police.
If the charges against comrade Krishnan
aren't dropped,
if he isn't immediately freed,
prepare yourself for a long struggle.
Long live the revolution!
He's innocent, he wouldn't hurt a fly,
so how could he commit a murder?
There must be a political agenda.
God, please save him!
I can't stand seeing this.
What are you thinking?
It's night...
get some sleep.
What about my son? How is he?
Why are you asking me?
Don't feel bad.
Think of a woman, the landowner's wife,
instead of worrying about your family.
You don't have much time left.
Try to relax at least.
Dear comrades and villagers...
use your precious vote for comrade
Chakrapani and the plough symbol.
to have a bright political future.
I ask you to support him
and vote for him.
Dear comrades and villagers...
use your precious vote
for comrade Chakrapani
to have a bright political future.
The minister declared that
it will be a new step to
the developing face of
our country in the 21st century,
and it will be done
with the help of US technology.
The central government had agreed
to issue one electric chair per state.
Is that true?
- Here it is, look.
Electric Chair a.k.a Throne of Death
It looks beautiful!
Must be expensive!
- It's imported from America.
It helps to give a painless death.
It's so easy
it can operate with a simple switch.
Poor Krishnan, he'll be the first
person to sit in the Electric chair.
We have put forward our demand that
comrade Krishnan must have a chance
to sit in this electric chair
in order to have a peaceful death.
To notify our demand to central government
comrade Kumaran has decided
to go on an indefinite hunger strike
in front of our communist party office.
We are inviting all the villagers
to the fasting ceremony.
O martyr's columns
O martyr's columns
Here crowds of people adorn you with
The red garlands of inspiring struggles
Snow capped mountains,
raised flags, the ocean's roar
O martyr's columns
AN EASY DEATH FOR KRISHNAN
In the Ganga where epochs swim,
lotuses bloom
News prepared by Krishnakumar:
The ministry has decided to replace
the conventional hanging method,
with the imported electric chair from USA.
Comrade Krishnan will be the first person
to sit in the Electric chair from Kerala.
The minister personally requested
to comrade Kumaran,
that he must stop his fasting now.
Comrade Krishnan is not only
a courageous martyr
but also a Mahatma.
He has suffered much during his life.
We must allow him to benefit
from modern technology,
to fullfill his painless death.
We must congratulate comrade Chirutha,
wife of Krishnan,
for giving aid without respite
throughout this strike.
I welcome comrade Chirutha to the stage,
to officially declare
the end of this fasting.
Dear comrades and villagers,
our courageous ideal woman,
comrade Chirutha,
is following this rally.
Please join and show your support..
Dear comrades and villagers,
our courageous ideal woman,
comrade Chirutha,
is following this rally.
Please join and show your support.
What do you think about Krishnan
sitting in the electric chair?
That is good, I was told our government
will offer his family a new house.
We got electricity yesterday
and water supply also.
There will be a new bridge here soon.
Krishnan is innocent and poor.
We are sad that he is going to die,
but we are happy that he will be
dying peacefully in that chair.
You must be happy.
Can I get something to smoke?
A local cigarette will be enough.
It is our good fortune,
I am so happy.
In the Ganga where epochs swim,
lotuses bloom
India rose up from maps,
Human lives open shackles
with heroic tales on lips,
and holding bouquets of flowers
The new citizen awakes
O martyr's columns
Here crowds of people adorn you
with the red garlands of inspiring struggles
Snow capped mountains,
raised flags, the ocean's roar
O martyr's columns
Our central government minister
has arrived.
You are all invited to welcome him.
His presence at comrade Krishnan's
heroic death will be a blessing.
Dear citizens...
Our little village
will acquire in a few minutes
international renown.
I would like to acknowledge
the efforts made by our minister,
thanks to whom we have
received from America
this electric chair.
These efforts have allowed this.
With this new tool
more people will know an easy death.
With the help of the World Bank
the government has launched
a new program
to open for all
access to an easy death.
At the finalisation of this is project
each village will be equipped
with a "throne of death".
Those who require an easy death
will be able to use it.
I invite our respected Minister
to inaugurate
this project.
Brothers and sisters...
I am so happy
that the name of your little village
will be written in History...
in letters of gold.
I envy comrade Krishnan because
he is getting a peaceful, painless death.
Our nation is advancing
in giant steps towards progress.
I also feel so happy to be here
even in my busy election schedule
and being a part of this historic event.
Greetings to all, victory to India.
Comrade Krishnan
(martyr)
The moment we have been waiting for
has finally arrived.
Our dearest comrade Krishnan
will within a couple of minutes
die a happy death.
He is perfectly well, Sir.
The common man Krishnan
has now became a martyr.
His body was kept in the party office
for people to pay tribute.
After three days he was
cremated on a sandalwood pyre.
His ashes were scattered
into the holy rivers.
Today, many things
are done in his name.
His biography is now a part
of the school curriculum.
A film about his life
has even commenced production.
Krishnan has became a legend.
With the aura of a martyr,
Krishnan remains always in our memory.
Comrade Krishnan
(born: 1947 - died: 1998)
Long live the Revolution
