Good morning, son

Good morning, Sid

Do you need to raise your leg
this way to drink your coffee?

Not just my leg
My bum too!

Hari, what's happening in
the world of programming?

Well...google designed the new
Dan language they hope'll become...

...the next vernacular of
web programming like the Java script



Also there's a significant
difference between the-

Dad, do you understand
anything about programming?

No, I don't

Then, why discuss this?

Father, every time we talk,
energy is lost from our body

You talk less
You live more

Hey! Pinky boo

Morning! I'm fine

Dad's not really fine, though

Yes, I'll shower

Yeah, I did brush my teeth

Okay
See you

Will you please

Ma, where's my other slipper?

Did you see it?

Those are my sandals

Muah...!

Should I pull this behind?

I have cleaned my room

Tell Mini not to go in

Hari, are you coming...no?

Aren't you late?

Pathetic!

There is another strike
happening again on 19th

We just had 1 recently
Wonder what this is for!

This is to protest the hike
in petrol and diesel prices

M“
nm- 'a

Shall I make a note of writ and
petitions scheduled for the 19th?

I'll inform the clerk about
the hearings for that day too

Okay, Sara
Do that

I just hope all these strikes
change things for the good, eh?

'You're listening
to Sid rig ht now'

'I knowl am late today, so-'

Ma'am, Sid has a great
fan following for his program

His nature is
so much like yours

Sara, when I was young
I used to be like him

I was so active in my college

'I intend talking about
some different people today'

'I know you are all rushing
to your offices and schools'

'Here's a cool song
to start off your day'

'This is 93.5 Red FM
Listen and keep on listening...'

tiff

"Are these webs self-spun?
Who is this gentleman?"

"ls this truth a pile
of burning coals alive?"

"As time ticks, people and their habits change
You search for change that takes a new image"

tiff

"I ponder...who is this man?
His mind and name unknown"

"Nation in turmoil with his eyes blindfolded
Hither or thither to vanish uncharted"

tiff

'NORTH 24 MILES'

tiff

In a relationship with
Sandeep...come on!

Yeah, it's true

Then what happened to Rohit?

No idea

This is Simi the rookie

Simi...Ausu, Salam,
Priya, Happy, Niveditha, Easa

No way!

Thank you

That's good

I hope you know Malayalam

No...he has set
a time for himself

So? Get uP

Simi! That's Hari's seat

That's my seat

Do you get it?
Don't ever sit on it

I'm sorry

Will someone from your house
come and take this away?

Hari, isn't it bad etiquette to
behave like this with girls?

Don't you have
any other work to do?

Don't bother, dear

You can use
my seat anytime

I won't worry

It's alright, Simi

I told you
I'll talk to you later!

Okay! Fine

Now hang up

Oh, sir is already here!

Singh...?

Everybody was crying

Did Sam cry?

- No
- Lovely

Simi...?

Happy scene, isn't it?

Hi Sam

How's doing?

All set
Prathiba?

Everybody having a good time?

I know, Hari

There is a leaking pipe
in the bathroom

There is only half a bottle
of hand wash

But this is not a meeting
to discuss all that

Sorry...sorry

Punctuality will be appreciated

Please turn up on time
for our meetings

I have some good news
for the entire team

The function MRI data processing
software we had developed here...

...has been approved by both the US
and the European medical councils

- Wow!
- Wonderful

Peter called me just now

He has congratulated
the team members specially

We at Cabot should be
proud of ourselves!

Party...!

Harm!

Yes...we'll party tonight

No problem

There is a special mention about
Hari Krishnan who has designed it

In fact, Peter has asked Hari
to shift to our office in San Jose

Only later he remembered
Hari's fear of flying

Hari is scared to fly!
Hari has aerophobia, right?

But Hari, you'll have to attend
a conference in Trivandrum

Oh no!

Hari, only Trivandrum

It's not as if we are
sending you to USA!

But, sir...!

No 'buts' and please
don't call me 'sir'!

It is an important conference by
the Indian Medical Council

And the main topic of discussion will
be the program you have created!

And who better to explain
the program than the creator?

I'll let you know the dates

And remember this, Hari

Tonight's party
is in your honor

And you had better be there

Can I have 2 peach punch?

"You and I enjoy rhythms of this song
This song is just crazy bang on"

"For the first time, in your eyes I see
a sparkle bright and starry"

"Desires and dreams glow
let's go there and dream it now...!"

"Hey there's a fair, just be there,
grab a pair and just don't care to care"

Isn't that Hari
sitting over there?

What?

Isn't that Hari
sitting over there?

- Where...?
- Look behind you

That's my brother!

Yeah man!

Is that Hari's girlfriend?

Girlfriend...for Hari?

I will show you something
That girl will cry now

She will really cry

You want to bet?

I'll bet for 100 bucks
You will lose the bet

Watch out...Hari will leave now

Didn't I tell you?

See for yourself...he's gone

He's gone

You lost!

He has spoilt it

Has she taken a pledge to
cry every morning and night?

You are the only one left to cry

Scoundrel!

Stop it, he will
make you piss

Move away...!

You are the team leader

Can't you do
something about this?

What can I do?

Last appraisal, didn't we all
give negative reports about him?

And look what happened!

Sam said the company does well
only because of this devil!

I'll give you a solution

lf we plan it out well
it will work out beautifully

What plan?

Son, for a change
Chicken...?

I had good fun

His dance was good

Hi uncle

- Join us for dinner
- Hi aunty

Hung ry-u!

Aunty, it's cold, is it
yesterday's food?

Where were you all?

We went for a party

At the club, Tanthri

Nice place

He was there
He was at the club too

At the club?!!!

Some office...some panymsomething

And he was
making a girl cry

God help me! I wonder
where he will end up...

...with all these curses
from so many girls

- Resignationm?
- Give it to me!

Hari?
Resign?

Huh?
Ream'?!

Priya, who told you this?

- I saw the letter
-I don't believe this

Will anyone give
a letter these days?

Guru, let him
just do anything

It is alright

Did I hear it right?

Yes

Don't get me
hyper for nothing

No...no

Then...all those candles I lit
as offerings weren't futile

Satish?
Prasad...?

Come here soon

Pay him...all of you
Take this too

- Mine
-1 minute

Collect it from everybody

- Guru, move
- Did you pay him?

I've given your share also

Hari is resigning from the job

on, is n?

1,2,s,4,s

Give me your share
for Hari sir's resignation

Acho!

Let him go and
die somewhere

I want Hari's booth

Who wants his booth?

Let him get lost

Such an egoistic person

Have you seen his attitude?

Fool!

He and his stupid pair of glasses
and a bag he carries around...!

Exactly!

Are you sure?

Hari...are you sure?

Yes

Prathiba?

Come inside

Yeah, right away

Come in, Prathiba

Move...move

What is it?

Can we celebrate?

No...?

Which blessed time
did you conceive him?

Ifl remember right, I wasn't
the only person involved in it

Why can't these American
companies work all 7 days?

Hari, aren't you going
to see the doctor?

Today is Saturday

As if you need to
remind him about that!

Hari?
Who is this?

Prathiba...let me see

Hari, it's for you

Hello...?
I'm Hari's mother

Hari is unavailable

Prathiba...?

Okay, on the 19th

I'll tell him about it

Hari, your train ticket for
the 19th is confirmed

Prathibha just called

I think it is for Trivandrum

Trivandrum?
I wonder what for!

Welcome to our Saturdays

Oooo ooh!
Cheeeeeers...!

Why can't you wait for the others
before you start celebrating?

Dad will be here soon

We should have
invited Hari as well

Oh Yeah! You couldn't
think of anyone else?!

Can you even think of
our plight without him?

Then what?!

His programs are our only
reasons for our survival

Salam is right

Hey, forget this program of
touring the world and get the food

But I find him very cute

What about my-

Go, get that
Must be dad

One day he will look at me
and I'll kiss him th-

Prathiba...?

Hi...Hari
Come in

My ticket

You didn't have to
take this trouble

I would've sent it
through Mani

It's okay
1 minute

Hari, want to join?

You said it may be difficult
This is the progra-

What happened?
Didn't get kissed, eh?

- Hari?
- Yes, doctor

How is everything?

Everything is fine

Do you have
anything to tell me?

No

Are you off
to Trivandrum?

What if I am?

Can you travel alone?

Get out of my bed

Get out

Can you get me 'poli'?
These sweet pancakes

Get me 2 packets

Enough?

Enough...enough

What time is the train?

12:30

Why are you leaving so soon?

Should I drop you, Hari?

Ma, I'll be late

You want to get dropped?

Bye

Safe journey, son

Where are you going?

Did I ask you where
you are going?

Sir...?

Madam, this is his berth

Please move
to your own berth

Thank you, sir

What is it, Moid heen?

When?

What do I do now?

Sir...please help me
Lend me a hand

Sir, what happened?

Do you want
water to drink?

No

Please help him

Please turn off the light, will you?!

I must go back home
My wife has been taken ill

Which is the next station?

I'll call the ticket officer

Sir, over there

We'll reach Paravoor in 5 minutes
You can get down there

- Okay?
- Thank you, sir

It's alright

Careful...watch your step

Let's sit here

Move aside, man!

Moidheen's call kind of left me
totally weak and shattered

I usually don't leave her alone
like this and travel by myself

Nothing to worry

Moidheen always makes
a mountain out of a mole hill

- I left my bag in that train
- What?

I must reach Trivandrum-

These are small fish
Do you want some?

No, my wife doesn't
know to cook this fish

- Sir?
- Yes

When is the train
to Kozhikode?

To Kozhikode, huh?

There are many trains
But they won't stop here

I left my bag in that train

Why didn't you
go in that train?

L...his-

How can you
be so careless?

What do I do now?

Why are you asking me?

Give a written complaint
to the person seated in there

Train number, coach number,
seat number and color of your bag

If you are lucky
you may get it

There is a train from
Kollam to Kozhikode

But, don't you have
to go to Trivandrum?

I will ensure you are
safe before I go

Hello...bro?

We need to
go to Kollam

Kollam?

Rs 1000

Kollam...not Coimbatore

I will give you
maxim um Rs 250

You can go to Kollam
or Coimbatore

But you need to
pay for the auto

There's a strike now

I won't get a passenger
on my way back

Let me sleep in peace

It is okay
I'll pay him

Let's get going

Come on, get in

Get in

Sir, get in soon

You can get down here

Walk straight ahead and
you'll reach the railway station

Get down here?

Did you agree to
drop us midway?

We won't get down
Stan the vehicle

The road that side is all broken

It is just walkable
distance from here

- You can easily walk it up
- How can you say that?

It is alright

Let us get down here

I will pay you only
half the amount

I'll pay him

No need

I've kept it ready

Here is the full amount

Madam, shall I take leave?
Good night

Get lost!

Since it is a strike,
the trains will be delayed

The exact time
can't be specified

Shall we go try at
the KSRTC bus stand?

We've been waiting

What strike?

Govt vehicle is for
common man to travel in

Bro, I'll give you the keys

You can drive it
for the common man

It's such a hassle
for so many people

Bro, when is the bus
to Kozhikode?

What will we do stranded like this
in the middle of the night?

Do something soon

Brother...?

Bothering us
with the strike

Bro...bus to Kozhikode...?

There will be
a bus to Alapuzha

Get onto that, you might get a bus
to Kozhikode from there

You have to
give us an answer

We've been waiting
here for ages

Let us sit here

It will take a while
for the bus to come

Sit down

In all this confusion
I lost my phone

Do you know
your number?

Let me call your number

94469...

...63543

It says 'this number
does not exist'

Did I give you a wrong number?

Anyway, it is lost!

Tell me your
landline number

Residence number is
444
00:48:13,237 --> 00:48:15,911
No sound at all
I hear only some noises

I've forgotten that as well
It is afaulty line

I even forgot to
give a complaint

It's okay...anyway
I'm going there, no?

Is there any other number?

Moidheen's number

Ever since I started
using this mobile phone...

...l can't memorize
any of the numbers

98460332-88

Or 88332
Try both

Aww...the battery has run down

Hey, can I have the phone?

Which phone?

Your phone

I don't have a phone

What?

I do not have a phone

What did they tell you
when they called?

They said my wife is having
severe breathing difficulty

When I suggest
going to the hospital...

...she never listens

She will be fine

Yes, nothing would
have happened

What is your name?

Hari Krishnan

We met at Shoranur

She is Narayani

But she prefers to
be called Nani

Where are you from?

Ernakulam

- What is the time?
-4:50

What is the time?

4:50

Aiyoh!

What happened?

What is it?

1, 2 or shower?

Huh...?

Do you want to pee,
crap or take a shower?

Two

Rs 2/-

- Give me coins
- I don't have any

Here's the balance

Yuck!

It is all over there

What?

Crap

What crap is he
talking about?

Hari...?

In here...get in, careful

Stop...stop!

I must get in too

Stop staring and climb up

Get in both of you

Oh no...break down

What's the problem?

Axle of the bus is broken

We can't go now

Will another bus come?

Who knows! You can go
if one comes along

- How can you say that?
- Let me see

What do we do now?

How can you leave us
stranded in a place like this?

You have to arrange
another vehicle

We need to reach
Kozhikode immediately

May be you can
board a ship

Walk straight that way
to reach the backwaters

Axle of the bus
is under repair

Can anything be done?

Shall we walk that way?

Come, let's go

It's pitch dark here

Oh! You have
a torch with you!

Do you use it always?

Not always...only when it's dark

How long do we walk...?

Where will we reach
if we walk like this?

Absolutely...no clue!

Let's see

What happened?

- Brother...?
- Yes?

If we cross this lake
can we get any vehicle?

Today?

You may be able to get
into an ambulance

Can you take us across?

This is not such a boat

I use this for fishing

You can't get onto this

Brother, please help us
We'll also help you fish

No, that won't work out

I'll pay you something, comrade

The old man
has got brains

The 3 of you can get in

Come on

Vasu, loosen
the mooring rope

I'm not coming

Okay, don't!

Who asked you
to come along?

Brother, how heavy is this boat?

What?

How heavy is the boat?

I have not weighed it yet!

What is it?

Will it sink ifl also get in?

What a pity!

"Was the lonely path feeling demure?
Did thunder clouds exhaust their downpour?"

"On sidewalks peacefully sleeping
with silence enveloping"

"ln this jungle, sun's rays patrolling
arms swinging and gracefully strolling"

tiff

This jetty is an old one, eh?

Yes

My father used this for
fishing and now it's mine

Hey! Catch hold of this

What is this?

Something is pulling it!

Must be a fish

Awwwwwwww! Fish!!

Tiff

"ln this world happily lived the people
though submerged in strikes and turmoil"

"ln this world carefree lived the people
though submerged in strikes and turmoil"

"Truth stabbed every day relentlessly
while revelry rents the air repeatedly"

ls there any place here
we can get some food?

"Oh you poor souls...life scorches indeed
within us the ashes of a flame that seethed"

tiff

Oh! I must enter through
the rear door today

Toddy...!

You can get yummy tapioca
and fish curry here

You can wait here
We'll both go and get it

I'm coming too
I'm really hungry

Huh?

Come on

'Long live Mother India'

Mischievous!

Puroshothamanmwhat is this?

Shall we sit here?

Is this a television soap?

Or a family pack?

What do you have?

Toddy

I mean, food to eat

Like tapioca and fish
or some such thing

Oh...that kind of food?

There is fish egg, fish fry,
small fish, tapioca

And then there are
white rice pancakes

I'll have a plate of
tapioca with fish gravy

Sir, what about you?

Okay, 2 plates of
tapioca with fish gravy

Sir, what would
you like to have?

I don't want anything

Why is that so?

Don't force him

Brother, please serve us fast

Rajesh...2 plates of
tapioca with fish gravy

Where are you from?

Where are you going to?

We are on our way
to Kozhikode

Oh! I see

To be frank, we ended up here
because of the strike today

I was wondering how
you found this rotten shop

Sit down

My dear boys,
take your seat

You just forgot me, isn't it?

You don't come here these days

Or have you all
stopped drinking?

What would you
like to eat?

There is fish egg, fish fry
and head fry

You know what
we like to eat

So, I'll serve you all now

I first met my wife-

Sorry, what?

I first met my wife
in a toddy shop like this

She was heading
a strike against alcoholism

And I was doing the same
for the laborers here

Our beliefs were
so opposite

Like how they say,
'opposites attract'!

Go...go

Okay, I'll go

Those bike-boys have agreed
to drop us till Ernakulam

okay

Where are you off to?

It is a short cut

Short cut?

The bike with the girl
is not in sight

They are just
a little ahead of us

We will catch up
with them soon

I can't see them

They are just ahead
Don't stress yourself

There he is!

Stop the bike

Stop...l say!

'12 miles more...'

Hello?

What is it?

Whaaat?
He hasn't reached?

Are you sure?

Maybe he didn't leave at all

Let me find out
from Hari's mother

okay

Hello?

- Aunty
- Hi, Prathiba

He left quite early yesterday

Please reduce
the volume, Sree

He hasn't reached?

No way he'll go
anywhere else

Are you sure?

Can you check again?

Okay

What is the matter?

Hari hasn't reached
Trivandrum yet

Nani...?

Nani...?

Hari...?!

Her bag

What happened?

The strap's broken

What do you
think of yourself?

You don't have to show off this
over-confidence all the time

Imagine if something
had happened...!

This over-smartness
is nothing to be proud of!

I wonder where we are

Thank goodness!
Get down

This is awful

I wonder why IT professionals and
cops are not affected by the strike

Hey...!

Just come here with me

What is it?

- He hasn't reached
- Who?

Hari?

Are you sure?

Does Sam know about this?

It was your idea
to send him there

Go and tell him yourself

What do
we do now?

What do you think
we can we do?!

- It flows down from there
- So beautiful!

Let's jump into it

I will jump into it now

It's lovely

Hari, aren't you coming?

What pure water!

We can even drink it

What is the distance
we've covered now?

What distance
are you referring to?

Furlong, kilometer or
'Kaadham' (5 miles)

Like how people in
the olden days called it?

- Doesn't Kaadhu mean 'ears'?
- This is 'kaadham'

Haven't you heard this saying...

...'Even if Mecca is 1000 'kaadham' away,
it will still be fresh in the heart?'

It is 16 kms as per
today's calculations

Wrong!

What?

Mecca is just
4600 kms from here

1000 'kaadham'
is 16,000 kms

Shall we go?

Yes, but where to?

We must go north, isn't it?

How do we know
where north is?

Sun is not visible either

Why are you carrying
a screw driver and such stuff?

North is that way

What is this?
Man vs wild?

What does that mean?

There is a man called 'Bear Grylls'
who hosts a survival reality show on TV

Do you think
this is a game?

Do you think this is a place to
vent out your personal grudges?

If you don't know,
everyone in the U.S values...

...Hari's expertise
more than any of you

They even value him
more than me!

If anything happens to him
jobs are at stake

Did you try
calling his home?

They've been informed that Hari
got down at the Paravoor station

And his bag has
reached Trivandrum

Paravoor is close by, isn't it?

This is Paravoor, near Kollam

Do you mean Quilon?

I don't care Paravoor or Parabikulam
You better go and find him right now

How will you go now?

Appan has his bike, Bullet

I have my 2 wheeler too

So, what are you
waiting for? Go...!

Or you wait!
I'm coming

Sir, will you be
able to climb this?

I have climbed so many
hills and mountains

Stop there...l say!

Stop running

Don't run

Run

Stop there

It's the cops...!
Run for your life

Sir, what is it?

Why did he run?

Stop!

I know you must
be wearing one

Are you wearing one?

Are you wearing one?

What?

Underwear!

l am wearing a boxer

Show him what he is
supposed to do

Anish...!

Get up and
go stand there

Remove it

I haven't done anything

Why did you run?

Anish

I know what to do

What is it?

You should reply
only to my questions

What is in this bag?

It is-

Anish...!

Give it to me

Sir, I think he is
a medical representative

ls it so?

I'll kick you

Get up! You morons!

Remove it...you rep!

Someone told us we can reach
Kottayam if we come this way

Anish...can you
reach Kottayam this way?

You can reach Munnar,
Them, Kambham...

...and finally the Bay of Bengal!

You are over doing it

Who is he?

His son

Who are you?
His daughter?

- I am-
- Yes

How will you reach
Kozhikode today?

Just like how we reached
this far from Kollam

There is a vehicle going
to Kottayam from here

Do you want
to travel in it?

Sorry!!

Is there any news
about your brother?

No, dude

What actually happened?

He went on some
official purpose

Some conference
or some such thing

But he is missing now

What will you do now?

My dad has called
for the police and army

Let the police
and cops just wait

Why don't we try to
find him before they do?

How do we do that?

- How do we go from here?
- I will be right back

I truly believe in
the Indian govt.

Allegations against me
is a major conspiracy

My party and I believe
I can prove it too

Sir, if the court proves otherwise
will you approach the High court?

The court won't
prove otherwise

I'm very sure of that

Did you find it difficult to come here
because of the strike today?

I was at home till yesterday

I'm a social worker and
these strikes don't bother me

Where are you going to now?

- Who is this?
- I don't know, sir!

I am on my way
to Ernakulam

Bishop from Kalaipurackal
is in the hospital

I'll visit him
and get back

We are 3 of us

Can you take us
along with you?

Thank you, sir

This is the 1st time I am
travelling in a minister's car

Where is your place
in Kozhikode?

Ram anatukara

Isn't that in
the district of Malapuram?

It is the border

We need to reach
Kozhikode immediately

That's why I-

Sir, road is blocked
towards that side

So can't we go there?

No, sir

- What is your name?
- Narayani

- What about yours?
- Hari Krishnan

What do you do?

FPGA Architect

Oh, our future!

What about you?

I'm a social welfare trainee
with a NGO in Trivandrum

Which NGO?

- Aren't you the health minister?
- Yes

Have you gone near
the Mullassery canal?

It is so polluted!

It has been cleaned
Don't you read the papers?

Sir, road is again
blocked this way

Turn the car back to Pala
We can see the bishop later

The 3 of us...?

What do we do about them?

We can drop them
at the next junction

How do we go from there?

Arrange a police jeep
for them to go

I wonder how long
we have to walk

You asked stupid questions
and spoilt the chance of a lift

Leave it...it's okay

Hari is safe

We've reached Ernakulam

Now he can go
home by walk easily

We were told
a vehicle will be here

- What for?
- For us to travel in

- For you to travel in?
- Didn't the minister inform you?

Minister?

Which minister?

The Health minister

We travelled in
his car till here

How are you
related to the minster?

He was the minster's mentor

There is a vehicle here
but it is under repair

If it starts, I can
drop you at the airport

He has started it

You are really smart

Shall we take leave?

Aren't you coming along?

Hari, aren't you
going back home?

No, I'll come
along with you

To Kozhikode?

You can get down here

Convey my regards
to the minister

We are really grateful

Sure...carry on

Sir, please wait for me

I'm coming
along with you

It's gone

That's also gone

Where are you all off to?

Kozhikode

I am off to Chaavakaatu

Day before yesterday,
I've been blessed with a son

I just landed from Dubai

There is a car
coming to pick me up

But due to the strike
it is stuck somewhere

I tried the railway station too
There are no trains, either

I wonder when there will be
an end to these strikes

Walk faster

Man, didn't I tell you
we need not go today?

Every Indian citizen has
the right to pull in a strike

So does the Indian constitution,
allow a citizen have the right to...

...obstruct 'right of movement'
of a fellow citizen?

You are right but nobody
is seeing it as an obstruction

It calls for a holiday and
hence a celebration

ls there any chance
of getting a vehicle?

Strike all over today

I wonder if waiting here
will be of any use

We can only hope

Some car is coming

Stop...stop...!

We came here
before you did

What difference
does that make?

Get in soon

We have to go urgently

Everyone has their urgency

tiff

"As a song be with me
once more on this silent journey"

"Memories rush to hide
like flowering tress left behind"

No, don't get into that

"Strange shores and miles unknown
must be crossed in this torrid zone"

tiff

"Will you walk with me
even if breeze doesn't accompany?"

"As a song be with me
once more on this silent journey"

tiff

"Rhythms that never ceased
played on the heart strings"

"Step by step we progress
our unexplored desires"

"As a path perceived by the burning eyes
Faces and expressions fade as time flies"

"At the destination as each journey ends
like a burdened shoulder a new one extends"

tiff

"Will you walk with me
even if breeze doesn't accompany?"

"As a song be with me
once more on this silent journey"

"Will you walk with me
even if breeze doesn't accompany?"

- What do you do, Hari?
- I am FPGA architect

ls there any technology
to catch fish easily?

Let us rest for a while
and then continue

Sit down

Fooled you...!

From where did you get it?

Where did you run off to?

How can you leave
the child alone like this?

I was busy with some work
That's why I didn't realize

Go to your mother

Looks like you all have
travelled a long away!

We-

Come with me
I live close by

Come with me

Come

Take this balloon

Where are you off to?

We need to go
to Calicut immediately

My wife is not
keeping well

Fuel is low

Petrol and diesel
is hard to get now

I will drop you till
where this van takes us

What is your name?

I am Vyomkesh, my wife Lajju
and my daughter Pyali

Do you know in the novel by
Sharadendhu Bendhodhadhyaya...

...there is a detective
character with your name?

- Is it so?
- Yes

Detective?
With my name?

I swear l didn't know

Daddy, you're great

That Vyomkesh may have
been a great hero

But this is the 3rd strike
ever since I came here

Only yesterday, we decided
to stay back here

Have you been
here for a month?

Actually more than a month!

More than 45 days

You seem to
have travelled a lot

Yes, we have

Are there strikes
in other places too?

No

What are the places
you've visited?

We are visiting
all the temples

My wife doesn't know Tamil
She is from Kutch

And I don't know Kutchi

So, what language do you speak?
Gujarathi or Kutchi?

Kutchi

It seems you know
many languages

"Whatever l wish to speak, beau
should be spoken by you"

"Day and night
we should interact!'

Come here

Vyomkesh, how old is Pyali?

She was born in
Gujarat, 4 years ago

Pyali, come and
play with me

They don't have a common
language to communicate

Can you ask him how he
professed his love to her?

Vyom, Nani wants to
ask you something

Go ahead

In what language did you
tell Lajju you love her?

Language is
no barrier for love

Only the experience counts

- Did you understand that?
- No

Language is no barrier for love
Only the emotion counts

Pyali, come here

What are you looking at?

Are you wondering why I have
2 watches on my wrist?

One has the time
at which I found her

Other is the time that
we are living together

I've been using sign language
to communicate with her till now

But I want to ask her
something now

Before that, can I
ask you something?

Tell me

How did you get a baby if you
had no common language?

Why do we need
a language for that?

We've achieved
the impossible

Isn't this do-able?!

What do you
want to ask Lajju?

Ask her what
she likes about me

- ls that all?
- Yes, that's all

Lajju, what do you
like about him?

I like his moustache

So cute

- She likes your moustache
- Oh! Really...?

Look at this

Try smelling it

Coffee powder

Just imagine Vyom
and Lajju's situation

Without a common
language to communicate

Actually, it is ideal

They'll both have
peace of mind!

Otherwise the wife
should be like Hari

Who doesn't open his mouth!

Sir, are you tired?

Keep walking

How old are you, sir?

By next year I'd have
seen 1000 full moons!

So are you 100?

No, I am 84

Maybe my calculation
is wrong again!

- Sister...?
- I'm coming

Sister...brother Mustafa is here

Let me come in first

Little devil, is your
circumcision over?

Move aside

Master, come in

Please sit down

Come in, sister Nani
Please sit down

Haseena...?

Sit down

Mother, is Ambusa'ka here?

He is on his way

Please serve them
something to drink

Dad's little pearl...!

Come here

Haseena, he is
fairerthan me!

Sit here
What is your name?

Jubeena Mohammed

This is Haseena
and this is my son

I was praising you!

Can you see Nani?

Who is this...?
Did you see your dad?

So cute

Sir, what is
the need for this?

This is a ritual

okay

Take it

Alright

Hari...Hari
Look at this baby

Careful...careful

Don't pee on
Uncle Hari's lap

Come on...dad will carry you

He will not drink it

Please drink

Ambusa, where were you?

They told me
you have arrived

I had to unload some stuff
and that's why got delayed

Sir, this is my brother Ambusa
and this is my brother-in-law

I found them
on the way

How did you
manage to reach here?

It was tough

They have to
reach Kozhikode now

Kozhikode?

Is it okay if you
can reach Beypore?

Yes, my house is
close to that place

Kunjumon!

That's it

Give me your bag, master

Give me a hand

Be careful
while you get in

Thank you

Bag... bag! !!

You and your bloody bag!

Kunjumon, be careful

Why are you
treating them like kids?

Carry on...and do let me
know once you reach safe

Sir, hope you have
my number with you

Yes, I do

So we'll meet somewhere

Not just somewhere

We'll come for your son's first
birthday to taste your yummy biriyani!

Yes, please do
I'll make it with mutton

- Sir, carry on
- Thank you

Kunjumon, be careful

Abdu, you can start and stop
only when we reach Beypore

I wonder if some
foreigner will shoot us

Shoot us?

No foreigner or
Watson will come near us

Hold on tight and sit

ls there a bathroom?

You want to
pee or crap?

Just pee into the water

Your urine won't increase
the salt in the water

But if you want to crap...

...go the other side or
your pants will get wet

No need

What happened?

Hari, rub her
back for her

Are you alright?

It is because she isn't used
to travelling on water

Are you married?

What?

Nausea?!

What happened?

You must be
married, right?

Is this the first time?

Yes

It is because
of the wind

We're reaching Beypore

We are about to reach

Please slow down a bit

Do you see that
school over there?

My wife worked there
as a teacher for 35 years

Her students are
like our own children

I went to Trivandrum only to get
a certificate attested for a student

Do you see that building...

...with the flat tiled roof
and white compound walls?

That was where my wife, Sharadha,
Ramani, Thomas and I lived in hiding

When the case was over,
my wife and I decide to live there

Later on, she insisted on giving it
to our fellow party members

Now it is our favorite office
for our political party meetings

She has suffered a lot of
torture from the police

That's why she suffers from
repeated asthma attacks

She cooks excellent gravy of mackerel
with buttermilk which is very popular

She won't allow any guest
to leave without eating

That's her nature

Do you have
a handkerchief?

Please drive faster

We've reached

Stop here

Stop here, I say!

We have to walk a bit
Will it be tough for you?

Let's get down

- How much?
- Rs 180

Oh, you are all here!
ls it a welcome committee?

Keep the change

Nkiuiheenuf ?
How is your teacher ?

Just come with me

Moidheen...he called me
He is also one of her students

He is usually with us
in all our activities

Moidheen...?

We have a bit more to walk
Are you finding it difficult?

Nanu, come

Moidheen

Rashmi, I had to
break my journey

I'll get your certificate next week

Don't cry

What is this?

- Moidheen...?
- Coming, sir

You knew
all along, right?

Shall we go?

Poor soul...!
He's all alone now

I'll visit him next week

Hari, will you
come with me?

Shall we go and
eat something?

Come...come

Where do you
work in Ernakulam?

Sorry

I keep asking you
unnecessary questions?

- In the train
- In the train!

Do you want black coffee?

Yes

Brother...?
2 black coffee

2 black coffee

Where were you off to?

Trivandrum

I usually travel on
this train every Sunday

Where do you live?

l am from Shoranur
but I'm hardly there

Are you always like this?

How?

A cleanliness freak...!

Sorry

"Stars were born on
the night of this journey"

"Time left its colorful
foot prints within me"

"Was it the star that shone unblinkingly?
Was it a path that blossomed unending ly?"

"My dreams you embraced from yesterday
together we move forward as one today"

Hari?

Tiff

"Does our journey have a future
intertwined in strange desire?"

"My heart hummed with a desire to glance
To say something, a few words perhaps"

"Your doe-eyed shy gaze
remains fresh, not a haze"

"ln this morn, many a 'kaadham'
step by step we did fathom"

tiff

Maya, what is
your problem now?

Is it because Hari no longer
laughs in the morning?

Or is it because you people
can't wake up in the morning?

Didn't his laughing exercise become
a part of your daily routine as well?

He has even started to have
more than 2 steamed rice cakes

Chicken...! He has
started eating chicken too

He must be having
a better appetite now

No, doctor, he has gone mad

Something has gone
wrong with him

Lost his marbles

He used to walk to and fro
but now he doesn't

It is after that trip he went on

Doctor, what do you
think is the reason?

It could be self realization

Another reason could be
a complex feeling of anxiety

This behavior will increase
in proportion to anxiety

Maya, I mean...it could be love

tiff

Hi Sam!

"Are these webs self-spun?
Who is this gentleman?"

"ls this truth a pile
of burning coals alive?"

"As time ticks, people

His mind and name unknown"

Hither or thither to vanish uncharted"

Hari, you usually
come here on Saturdays

Why have you come
on a Friday this time?

You have anything to tell me?

I have lost something

To lose something did you
find anything in the 1st place?

I don't know

Should we not find
what you've lost then?
