God bless

Fishes..Fishes..

Please buy some

What are available today?

Lots of Sardines! Carps too



Shall I give some?

Not today

- Good morning
- Good morning

Spoiled? - Eh!

We got acquainted just this morning

So I couldn't ask

You please ask

Fishes..Fishes..

Milk is just arriving

Since it is your milk,
there is one benefit!

Got to boil a little to
add tea dust and sugar

cause you would have already added water

What a joke so early this morning!

If you find it difficult,
get Milk and Water separately



I will do the mixing

Hold this

Buddy, Where is Rajesh?

Who knows?

Can he come without putting her
on the bus to Palakkad?

- Damodara!-Yes

Quiet unusual! Tea being served outside!

Who is that? Can't see him well

I see! So with this poor eyesight the astrological
forecasts you write about are all lies!

He is our Manikyan

Odiyan(Sorcerer) Manikyan!

Yeah

Well, the Odiyan of our folklores
has returned safely!

Those who haven't seen a live Odiyan

There he is seated! Acomplete Odiyan!!

A swam
a

Not just tea

Serve some Dosas also to fill himself up

Shouldn't he have some
vigour while doing Odi!

A curse!

Don't talk that way, Ezhuttachan!

Hasn't the Dare devil during your yesteryears
in Thenkurusi returned after an exile?

Rather welcoming the great man with a red carpet
ls it fairto call him a curse, Ezhuthachan?

Unnikrishna, Don't ask for trouble

While you walk home alone after drinks in the night
is the time when Odiyan will settle his score

- Who? Him?
- Shut up

Comrade! I guess he didn't
like you saying that

He doesn't mind if Damodaran
offends or pours hot water on his face!

Because he is his old classmate

Both of were like jackfruit and fly once!

- Ezhuttacha! -Yes

Are you also joining these kids?

Poorfellow has returned
after a long wander

hoping for a little peace in his hometown!

PeaceH

Wasn't he the one who shattered
the Peace of this hometown once?

- In one kick..
- No dude

He will be finished!

Why dol needlessly stink my legs?

Ezhuthachha, take some hot waterfrom
Damodaran's shop and pour it on his face!

Let the drooping head raise a little

Make a tea, Unnikrishna!

If you are desperate for hot water

To fulfill your desperation
twice a week you do go to her house

That Sarojini's

Go and ask over there

Any time you could get real Hot water

He is the topic ofthe town now!

Now it will be more interesting

An old friend of your Uncle!

Friend?

Yes

This is Odiyan

Odiyan Manikyan

Have only heard!

Never expected I would get to see

Now that I happen to have seen you,

How can I leave without giving anything?

To counter this shame,
we do need some rites to be done

There is a way, Ezhuthachhan

Let's see in the brain ofthe last of the Kelakkam
Family what is it that is getting created?

Come on, tell Rakesh! Only you will come up
with that Million Dollar idea! You say.

Let him

Tell this toothless Odiyan to frighten any
one of us slightly using his Odi tricks!

In case he is not willing

Let him go back right now

with a ride on a donkey...

Wasn't there a song of his times?

"Another Odiyan is send off to the forest"

"By Thenkurusi folks"

Anyway, that is a bit too much, Rakesh

Really?

Can this poor old man frighten
fired up young guys like you?

We have grown old, sons..
Leave all that!

Brother Damodaran, No sentiments please

What our Captain demands must happen

Ask him to frighten any one of us!

We can walk alone anywhere any night

Let's see if he could
frighten a bit at least

Lets watch - the Last Odiyan Act!

So, adamant about it!

Yes

I've a small doubt

When it comes to a challenge,
there should a bets on either sides!

In case if he wins,

Then he will be the Super
Hero of Thenkurussi

In our area,

We'll erect a bronze statue of his!

Enough..That is enough

ls that necessary?

Absolutely, Ezhutachan

Possible for it add to some thrill!

Playing with Gen Next!

Hope you heard

Cause a little fear

on the person you choose

at your convenient time

ls it acceptable, Odiyan?

No way

Speak out

Accepted

The Odi will be on

HIM

My Muthappa (protector)!

OOps!

Before the Odi is done,
never reveal to anyone is the rule

Father, Mother or even to Wife!

I'm helpless! It's my last reson!

This is a Sorcerer's story.

An epic story ofthe King of the Night

Tricking enemies, that is,
by disguising as animals,

frightening them were these Sorcerers.

People who traditionally took contracts
to frighten people

Dark disguises, loneliness, darkness and

immaculate timing were
these Sorcerers' props.

Those nights, when no electricity
and silence existed,

on the scary, lonely
ridges amidst the fields

they waited covered under dark cloaks,
for their enemies.

Thenjump out
and land on four legs in front of them.

The prey under the spell of a sudden attack
of bull or buffalo would fall scared.

There were many folklores like,

Obtaining Oil from the killed human fetus
and applying on their ear lobes,

gave them powers to assume forms
or shapes that they desired to be.

There was a time when the entire village
used to be scared of these Sorcerers..

Those ages have now gone by.

With the arrival of electricity
and disappearance of quietness,

the Sorcerers, announced self retirement
and left the stage.

Many oftheirfuture generations looked at
the antics oftheir forefathers with shame.

Many among them left these lands

Howevertill this movie ends,
in a village called Thenkurissi,

this story is about one man who would be
donning the role of a Sorcerer.

One quiet night, stealthily this
Odiyan(Sorcerer) had left Thenkurissi.

After 15 years, having wandered, meandered
and drifted through various lands,

to this well familiar and
cryptic dark Thenkurisi,

he has just returned last night

This is his story

The story of the last and
smart Sorcerer on this earth.

Notice"

The stage is set, Friends

Now is the Sorcerer's game..

Dude Rajesh, why are you sitting like this?

Dude Rajesh, why are you sitting like this?

Today is your day, man.

You need to buy us a drink.

The great Odiyan is going
to be defeated by you.

We need to trap him.

A swam
a

Yourfriend will have a bad time for sure.

That bad time will take him along.

E Elfifilmififimfifimfi
E

You haven't grown enough
to write Manikyan's horoscope.

You don't need to laugh that much.

Also, don't underestimate
the guy who has just left.

Hey Damodaretta, are you also scared?

Has Manikyan tricked you too,
for you to get scared like this?

Hey Mano],

if you want to hearthe
stories of Manikyan's tricks,

go home right now and ask your dad.

But Vasu still poops
when he talks about it.

Anyway, it's good
that you were born before that.

Damodara just find out about that Odi

Mind yourjob man!

Damodara, You tell me,
what did Manikyan do to Vasu uncle?

Rajesh, you leave him and come here, dude.

I always felt that
shouldn't have been done.

What's the use of regretting later?

Along with some comrades from Kinasseri,

lwas sitting nearthat old iron bridge.

I was then very excited
about changing the whole world.

It was then, that he came that way
drinking, dancing and singing.

This is the Odiyan I had told you about.

The curse of Thenkurissi,

The poison, who exploits the
superstitions of the village.

Consider it as rush of blood of youth.

Also, the severe influence
of communism on me

Palakkad Party were hoisting the flag

Stop there! Dog...!

Vasu Boss, what's the matter?

Do you want to make me a communist too?

Of course, I shall.

I will be a communist whenever I drink.

Then, I too can stop the people walking by

And callthem dog orwhateverl like.

Boss! Move away from my way.

I have things to do after
getting home quickly.

What have you got to do
reaching home so fast?

To change costumes for doing tricks?

No Boss.

After reaching home, I have to empty this.

Boss, you move away from my way.

What ifl don't move?

If you don't move?

I will go that way.

Hey, stop this buffoonery of yours.

Em Thnamfixrmwflssfi

Boss, this is not buffoonery.

This is an an,

something down the generations,
my forefathers have been doing.

Don't get on me unnecessarily.

It is food time..
Sit here chatting about communism

I am leaving.

Hey!

Hey Comrade, don't do anything.

So, you aren't going to stop
this work, aren't you?

Vasu brother, don't mess with him
“Leave, leave.

I don't know why you kicked me.

Whatever it maybe for Vasu Boss,

for having kicked Manickam
ifl do not return it,

It's a shame forthese
guys who witnessed it.

Isn't that the communism in it?

You people tell me, so...

S0?

Nothing because ofthat.

No see off at night,
especially for us, Odiyans.

Saying thatl had provoked him needlessly

The Comrades scolded me a lot

After they had left,
I sat there alone for a long time.

Then I got up and walked home.

Remained standing till dawn.

Then he taken away the horn.

Before that, he told me,

Boss, it's of no use,

How much ever you scream,
no voice is coming out.

From now on, you will never
stick your neck up against anyone.

Didn't I tell you then itself,
not to challenge me.

Saying that, he left.

M
my

Was all that really needed?

At the age of learning, got to study

not walk around causing trouble
in the company ofthese jobless drunkards.

Hey lad,

What's it, Mom?

Who do you think is that black magician?

That day, I was the one
who had seen my brother's condition.

Don't peck at food, finish it.

Now in which language do
I make you understand?

Iam fed up advising.

Are you also trying to
learn from your uncle?

Yourdad only has to do
the talking from Saudi.

Iam the one to worry seeing
all his son's doings.

Why do you keep doing
these kinds ofthings and have me worried?

Today is Prakashettan's Death anniversary.

Go to the riverside with uncle.

Prabha would have reached there.

Prabha?

This week when your dad calls,
I will tell him everything.

That you are on the same
path as your uncle.

Still, brother, his curse
has fallen on my son.

That's a good thing.

The curse is on him, dear sister.

I won't let him go without
getting everything settled.

I have already told the S l,

Not to open Ravi's case
without my permission.

If you have finished eating, come with me.

Uncle,

Did Prabha Aunty's and Meenu Aunty's
husbands die because of Odi?

Are you here to attend the rituals

or to dig out the dead people's history?

His...

I am feeling scared.

Uncle, do people die of black magic?

Really, are you my nephew?

Men should have courage.

Those who don't have that...

Madam! Madam!

Madam, please close your eyes.

What for?

Close your eyes.

Is it to fire at me?

Close your eyes.

Ok.

Hey, why did you touch her hands?

Boss, what are you doing?

His damn flowers!

You won't listen to me even after being
warned so many times, won't you?

Hey!

Manikyan, please don't do anything.

Leave him, Manikyan.

Leave.

0m..0m.. my Muthappa

Hey Odiya (Black Magician)!

Now you became the real black man.

Hey!

You should never trouble Madam!

She is my fianc“J©e.

What will you do, Odiya?

On seeing a goat, you ran like that.

What will it be when you see
a real black cobra?

Prabha!

How many years is it
since Prakashan died?

He didn't die,

he was killed.

Should I start counting the years now?

I shall tell you precisely,

But this ain't the right place for that.

What happened to her?

Why is she talking aboutthe killing, now?

May be because she saw Manikyan.

Uncle, what are you talking about?

I don't understand anything.

I didn't say anything to you.

Keep quiet and walk.

While I was making the offerings to uncle
I remembered Dad.

Aunty isn't it after seeing Uncle for
a long time you became like this?

Even your Mom hasn't seen
your Dad, me or anyone else.

Not even you.

My dearest naughty poet.

When I call her like that,
she would correct me,

To call heras "naughty blind poet".

As our Mom passed away long back,

I was her Mom.

Just like I am your Mom now.

She sawthe flowers and rivers
from what I told her.

Notjust me, Manikyan too,

Explained her, sang to her,

Hey Meenakshi, dear, are
you watching the fish?

It's not me who's watching the fish,

They are watching me.

Perfect name for a blind girl who don't
knowwhat a fish is orwhat eyes are,

Meenakshi (one who has fish shaped eyes)!

"Give...eyes..."

"Give...eyes..."

"Give...eyes..."

"Sky is reddish, it is dawning"

"Eyes are eagerto see"

"Spreading feathers, the cocks crow“

While eager to see

"Give...eyes..."

"Give...eyes..."

"Red like my ornament bindi"

"Sun God came and stood high up, faraway"

"like the wedding chain,
ardently prayed for"

"ls the golden moon on
the bosom of midnight"

"ls a dream hides in my hean"

"Why does it spread darkness"

"Sky is reddish, it is dawning"

"Eyes are eagerto see you"

"Spreading feathers, the cocks crow“

"l am eager to see you before me"

"The calf came running
and knocks against me"

"The bell-metal mugs clatter"

"Sunlight spills like
milk on the courtyard"

"The breeze came out ofthe door
and leans on it"

"The eyelashes stare"

"Why do they spread blackness"

"Sky is reddish, it is dawning"

"Eyes are eagerto see you"

"Spreading feathers, the cocks crow“

"l am eager to see you before me"

"Give...eyes..."

"Give...eyes..."

Howmuch ever one is happy
any song will come to an end soon.

Still, why did Manikyan
do that to my Dad and Prakshan uncle?

For one person to die,

it's not always necessary
that one has to kill him.

And it may not bethe person
whom we suspect.

As the people of Thenkurissi say,

Then, who killed Dad and Prakashan uncle
with horns and hooves,

ls it true that master's son was
killed by that Odiyan?

Everyone says that, but master
still doesn't believe it.

Unnikrishnan, is it needed?

Let's go and ask master, you come quickly.

Still, in my opinion you shouldn'thave
got into the story of Thenkurussi.

Your uncle Ravunni went
in for a fight once,

And do you know what happened?

He was bedridden for 6 months.

Even to challenge someone,
you need some courage.

Youngsters of today don't even have that.

What do you think
that old Manikyan would do to me?

On some occasions, fate is on our side

Sometimes, with a smirk it
will be on the other side

That's whatl am scared about.

0k, let me ask you,

Kuttan, what do you know about Manikyan?

What's there to know more?

He used to be a famous black
magician in Thenkurissi.

He had scared many people for a long time.

When his tricks stopped working
he got scared and fled this land

Now when he is nearing death, he is back.

Kuttan, is it that short,

The story of Odiyan,

who once frighten and terrorised not just
this Palakkad but also Pollachi and Udumalpet

No, not at all.

When we make the story short,
it is we who grow short.

Nowl am sure,

Eventhough you challenged him,

You know nothing about Manikyan.

Odiyan (Sorcerer),

The whole of Thenkurissi, for that matter,
the whole of Palakkad itself,

was once under the control
of these sorcerers.

During childhood, whenl
would go outside for urinating,

My grandma using to say loudly,

"dear, don't go out in the dark,

We don't know where the
sorcerer might be hiding."

Then, two things would come to my mind,

A person standing in the
shadows of darkness.

What all stories I have heard?

When I thought a lot about it,

I understood that the stories
were not real.

There is just one truth, No, two.

The dark picture of Odiyan
and the real darkness,

Everything else is the imagination
ofthe minds, child

The real magic.

To make it credible, a Odiyan.

To have it credible, our minds.

I am sure,

Manikyan Sr. would have taught all
this to Manikyan Jr.

Senior Manikyan?

Yes, Senior Manikyan.

The grandfather of this Manikyan
whom you see now.

Manikyan's son didn't like dad's job.

He was afraid to do it.

He fled this land.

He took his wife, Neeli also with him.

But he left his son here.

Not because he wanted to,

But the senior Manikyan begged him,

"Mani, please leave at
least your son here".

For what?

To make him a Odiyan (Black Magician)

Grandpa, I am scared,
please take away the horn.

Please take away the horn, grandpa.

Silly lad, you come here.

Come here.

Em
a

First, you should get rid ofthis fear.

You should be the fear,
for all of this land.

You should be the fear,
for all of this land.

You should be feared.

Open your eyes, dear.

"Grandpa's child, wake up, wake up"

"Holding my hands, go up, go up"

"Like the fire in the heart..."

"Like the fire in the heart..."

"with the Palmyra palm breeze, you spread"

"Keeping up the truth"

"Grandpa's child, wake up, wake up"

"Holding my hands, go up, go up"

"Want a pregnant lady with her first child"

"We want in her a child
unseen in the world"

"On new moon night..."

"On new moon night...
to rule over us, dear, grow up"

"Keeping up the truth"

"Grandpa's child, wake up, wake up"

"Holding my hands, go up, go up"

"You must stand like a strong tusker"

"You must bow before Goddess kali"

"Greater than your grandfather..."

Greater than your grandfather...

"You must do sorcery. Like a pearl,
you grow up"

"Keeping the truth"

"Grandpa's child, wake up, wake up"

"Holding my hands, go up, go up"

The Protector!

- Oh Grand pa-Yes,

Here you go,

This is top class stuff,

Hey, why's the drink coloured?

Did you bring the muddy water
from the river, naughty guy?

It's not arrack, it's Brandy.

That's the colour of brandy.

If you drink it, you will be stoned.

Oh Brandy, where did you get it from?

A rich man from Pollachi gave it to me,

For doing odi tricks.

The one who was tricked,
was a relative of his

Well, before dying I got a chance
to drink this from my child

Now, I am not worried of dying.

Enough drinking it.

Let me also try a bit ofthis brandy.

Now you ask me, howl tricked that man.

Dear, give it to me.

Enough.

I tricked him by turning into a buffalo.

Just seeing me, he got frightened
and he started screaming.

When I turned back
thinking my work was over,

Then?

When I turned back...

Grandpa, imagine your child

taking all the blows from
those people on his back

Grandpa, close your eyes and
see all that in your mind,

Give

My dear grandson has become
as good as this grandfather.

Still, you need to improve.

You have to go a long way
to be like me.

Jealousy,

Even when you are on your last leg,
there is no respite forjealousy.

What Sorcerer are you?

I am the great Sorcerer
You are just a baby Sorcerer.

You irreverent lad, isn't it I who
made you a Odiyan?

Didn'tl become like this
after learning everything?

Isn't that why people from Pollachi
and Udumalpet come looking for me.

What all things do you know?

Just to be a buffalo, cow,
sometimes a stray dog, that's all.

This ManikyanSr has donned the role
of a Odiyan for 50 years.

Rhinoceros, bison, and...

Rhinoceros, you don't even
know what it looks like.

You..0diyan,

What all costumes can you put on?

Anything-

Anything that can walk, fly or crawl,

That's this Manikyan.

Age does not matter
you should have good knowledge too,

You irreverentl!

Can you put on this costume too?

Let me get rid of this hangover,

I will showyou then,

Grandpa

Even in death Grandfather's lips

stood smiling with pride and joy
is only what Manikyan observed.

At the same time he is realizing
that he is now on his own.

Having completed that loneliness,

fifteen days to date on a full moon night

his childhood friend also left him in lurch

That night Prabha was getting married.

Any Sorcerer's nightmare
-a full moon night.

On this Full Moon night, like Manikyan,

there was one more lonely
person in Thenkurissi then,

spending sleepless nights,
and waiting for Prabha.

Someone who used the
indifference towards him,

One with the colour of darkness.

I came rushing this morning,
to tell you about this.

Well, tonight we are getting together here.

Just you and me.

Yourfirstwedding party is from me.

So what, you will be coming for
the wedding of Bhama's daughter,

Don't bring your military drinks,

lwill bring a bottle of drink from Ceylon.

Are you leaving? So early?

I had asked to stay till evening.

Don't be late. Let's start now.

Will it be a trouble forthe groom if
you go to sleep a little late today?

Hey, no..l would be happy forthat.

I was also planning fora party
with you, Ravunniyettan.

Ravunniyetta, I neverthought that
I could have a drink sitting here,

at the ponico ofthis
great Kelakkam house.

That too on the very night of my wedding.

It's all my luck.

The fortune you got is much
bigger than that, dude.

What's that, brother?

You are really a fool.

Who selected you into the
Army I wonder, Prakash

I guess I have lost consciousness.

Please say clearly brother.

Not just your fortune,
it's everyone's fortune,

The great fortune.

So fair, plumb and fatty fortune.

The real fortune.

Nowl got it.

Once though aimlessly I did often
walk around this house

Wishing to catch one glimpse of her

Then what happened?

What happened?

That wish is nowwaiting upstairs
Without sleeping for me

But that wish was not only yours alone

Whose else was it?

Not a person who you don't know.

And you don't have to look across the wall

Always together,

Fortunately, only sleep was not together.

Hey Prakashan, shucks.

See, that is all the trust girls give us

It can bust any time.

Especially, with fools like you.

I would like to believe that
he has not touched her.

Might not have, touched...

who?

That Odiyan, the black magician.

He wants both ofthe girls,

What about the other guys?

Gotto kill, kill him.

LWill kill him.

Before I go back, I will kill him.

I swear on my father.

Prakashettan, you are
talking about killing whom?

The Pakistani people?

Enough with your drinks.

You are already drunk.

Com e.

Prabha sister!

Who is that?

Who?

Prabha sister!

Who is that?

Meenootty!

- Prabha sister
- What happened?

Someone's there in this room.

No, nobody's here.

Don't be frightened,

Sister, someone's here.

Yes, there is.

No, nobody's here.

I am here, don't be frightened now.

What's up there?

What? What's it Prabha?

What was that sound?

Prakashettan, you go and sleep.

Today, I will sleep in Meenutty's room.

I was really scared.

Sister, you knowthat
I am not scared of darkness.

I felt like someone sitting near me.

No, it was not a feeling,
someone was here.

It's ok, don't think about that.

You say the prayers and sleep.

(Saying prayer)

Get out ofthe house right now!

Your privilege ends at the
front yard ofthe house.

None should have such a dirty mind.

Black is notjust your skin colour,

It's the colour of your mind.

Get out!

I am not telling Prakashettan aboutthis
nasty incident due to my dignity.

No, you don't have to tell him.

I will tell him myself,

about his wife and sister having
such a companion at night.

Even after he returns to the Army
that would be of help of him.

Manikyan!

You will never be better,
you and your words, never.

From now on, you should
never enterthis house.

If you enter, I have got the
right treatment for you.

If you get that treatment,

your legs will never rise
to climb these stairs

Even on the night after Princess's wedding,

Didn't realize that the Sorcerer's
protection existed

- You ...-Manikyan!

Madam, my hands are still
cramping to hit him.

You dark chap, get lost.

When I heard about the
drinking party inthe morning,

itselfl felt that I should've been here.

Madam, you go to sleep.

I will be here only.

Why are you looking like this?

Are you seeing bulls and buffalos
for the first time?

I was just checking that
Odiyan Manikyan is among them.

Aunty, have you seen Odiyan transforming
into bull and buffaloes?

I haven't seen.

But Manikyan has done Odi tricks for me.

He turned into a bull.

Meenootty, stop crying.

Why are you crying?

I will find a way. Don't cry.

Don't be scared.

Manikyan!

What's it, Madam?

Got to do Odi on a guy, can you?

I have no otherway.

Forget about me, he's not
sparing even Meenootty.

Whenever he comes here,

he troubles us with his
diny stares and language.

She is not even an adult.

It's truly pathetic.

Manikyan, you know,

I have brought up my dear blind girl,
without letting anyone trouble her.

The Sorcerer of the village,
please be kind to me.

Just scare him would do,

So forthe Odi trick what should I pay?

Madam, go inside and bring a betel leaf
and arecanut with a coin.

You don't have to give me anything else
for tricking Ravunni nair.

This one, is on me...free

I will not just scare him, a little more,

Manikyan, why you don't want any money?

An account book since my school days,

is still there with me.

Let me settle down those accounts.

As you said, I will do the tricks
for Kariman Nair for Meenootty.

I had already committed another work,
but it's ok.

Well, bring the betel
leaf, arecanut and coin.

Hey Manikyan,

I know you are among these.

If you are a man, step in front
of me as a human.

To trick you, why would I
need the magic costumes?

Unni, drink this.

Au nty !

Come here.

What did Dr Menonfrom Palakkad say?

That he will need to lie down
like this for a year?

Only six months is needed.

Yes, that's why.

Everyone say that the
Senior Manikyan is better.

If he had done the trick, one
couldn't get out ofthe bed for a year.

This Manikyan is not good enough.

Afteryou left this place,
I was not interested in anything.

Something was missing.

Whenl come here to drink,
after closing the tea shop,

I would serve a glass for you too,
like this.

I drank looking at that glass,
forthe past 15 years.

Whenever I see that Kariman Nair's
pride and show off,

I would wish you had been here.

He is not the same person,
as when you had left this place.

He has become a big business man.

Theatre, bus, petrol pump,
and the pride combined with all these.

Then and now, there's only one thing
he doesn't have,

Courage.

You drink it.

You had met Prabha, didn't you?

Yes.

I guess it was Prakashan's
death anniversary.

Years are passing very fast.

Manikyan, you are already drunk.

I am fine.

- Shall we go?
- You carry on.

It's been a long time sincel had
a night walk through Thenkurissi.

0k then, I am leaving.

You walk through Thenkurissi.

Don't know why,

Even ifl drink a lot, not getting
tipsy as I used to

For that, I will have to take
two more pegs once back home.

Ravunni brother, I need to sit in
the train for 3-4 days.

Thinking about leaving you all is...

Not us, leaving her.

That's right, you're still
newly wedded couple.

That's the matter.

I have to make it grand today,

Prakashan, Ravunni,

Let me step inside and say

Prakashan, Shucks...Ravunni brother...

Look there, that scabbed dog,

Prakashan, we need to handle him too.

Do you want anything to eat?

Here is yourtea.

What dares you to leave
the day after tomorrow?

Working outside during
day and inside at night.

Finish his work today itself.

As you have already seen this sorcerer,

I knowyou won't step back even
ifl hold you back.

That's your personal matter.

Your own reason.

Punch him as much as you want to,

Go and punch him.

Ravunni brother, need not,

Don't trouble Prakashan
forthis silly matter.

We will take care ofthis black magician.

Come on guys.

Hey!

What's that?

Don't do that.

Stop everything by today,

Your tricks won't work anymore
in this Thenkurissi.

Ifl kill a sorcerer like you and return,

The army will award me with medals.

What's this?

I told you not to.

Prakashan, why are you
hitting him likethis?

Did you trouble any of your acquaintance?

Or did he steal yourthings?

Damodara, he might have stolen
something of Prakashan.

You don't need to knowthat.

Leave him.

Let him finish his anger himself.

Did you see this callus?

It's not from getting punched,
But from punching others.

Sir, you go home.

Ifl hityou back in front
of all these people,

The shame is for Madam.

Hey, who are you to take care of
the madam of Kelakkam family?

Your night guard is no
longer required there.

Go.

Dude Prakashan, your arms handle guns.

Those stuff must not put your hands at rest

You will go back only
afterfinishing him off.

Hey!

Sir, your hands should be always yours,

Don't lend them to anyone else.

But you will have to pay
for hitting me now.

Nobody needs to teach this Odiyan that job.

Not very late, the new moon falls
before yourtrip on Friday.

Don't forget that.

Gorgeous!

Just three days for me to return

Not to go are my thoughts

Sure. On the 4th day
they will take you away

Don't forget that you are in the Army

Don't come to see me off at the station

If you come...it will not be nice

Go to School. Don't waste your leaves

lfl come, others will get to see
the crying of an army man!

Isn't that why you didn't want me to come?

What is this Odiyan got
to do here all the day?

Despite telling several times
not to let him step here

All you want is him to work here?

No dear, Manikyan's folks have been
working here for generations!

How does it matter to us if he
is an Odiyan(Black Magician)?

He has not caused any troubles

And in future too, he would not.

I trust Manikyan a lot

When talking about your childhood friend,

Why is the Sweetness in your voice?

Did Kelakam family get this Odiyan alone

to take their girl to school,
play and bathe in the pond?

These are not my words

But yourwords

The first night itself
the sour stuffl heard

I have heard from others too

many things!

Heard what?

No..Nothing that serious..

Speak out

Some silly gossips! I left itthen itself

Need not leavethem ifthere is anything
you heard tell me right away

For further clarity, we can find out
from Manikyan downstairs

Come on, leave it Prabha..l just spoke...

Come on

I'm leaving for School

Shall return by noon

okay

Come

Show us an Odi trick before you leave

Will Elephant be fine?

Eikapmmmn
Em

To showyourtricks comfortably
I had told them not to hit where it hurts

ls it not?

Yes

Come

Odi trick can't be shown anywhere

Why?

Total darkness is needed for that

No one else should be present

and shouldn't thrash like this

So, Elder, on the next full moon midnight visit
Thenkurussi alone to the large paddy fields!

For my Police elder, a
special Odi trick from me

Can't even joke with these Odi tricksters!

Hey

My Lathi!

Catch

Here comes the S.l

Manikyan..Thanks very much Mr. Advocate

Manikyan...Did Police thrash you?

The Postmortem report says, cause for
Prakashan's death is cardiac arrest

Then why the heck did they thrash you?

Because of the certainty
that I won't retaliate!

Odiyan can be thrashed only
during day time, isn't it?

Manikyan, you got to be careful

For Prakash's death, Thenkurussi folks
have only one to name..

Madam too?

You guys leave, I got to meet someone.

Was this your Word of Protection?

When I heard, you had
publically challenged Prakash

lthought it was only to scare him.

But.

But I really didn't know it was
to make me a widow!

To have us orphans be alone again..

What sin did we commit?

Ifthe Police, Doctor or even ifthe entire
Thenkurussi arrays together and claims,

I won't believe,

that Prakash died of hean attack.

Remember one thing, Manikyan!

When you kill a person with your Odi trick,
it is notjust one person who dies.

It's not me.

Get inside

It's not me

Do you think I could do that?

When an innocent man is deemed a killer
it's that man who dies!

Not me.. It's not me.

Do you need some powder?

I heard you had returned

But did not expectyou
would come to meet me

Witnessing an unexpected visit feels good

I was about to leave

Remaining days after hiding

Can't help appreciating the disguise

Anyways I am not used to Gosai language

Shall I ask something?

What is Odiyan(Black
Magician)called in Hindi?

Can't you at least smile?

Earlier there were only smiles
on your face all the time

You have taken longertime to return than
the the distance you travelled, isn't it?

Good

minus

Atleast to me..

How long has it been since you left?

15 Years

It has been that long since Ravi too left!

See you later

Ravi wanted me to visit your home
and convey this

Butl didn't want herto know

Sol decided to convey it over here

What is it that she should not have heard?

Sure.. Ravi is a Teacher in this School

Still he is reluctant to convey this to you

ls so much of formality needed between us?

We want Meenukutty

Would you mind giving her hand to Ravi?

Hen..

...0utside..

Little chick.

Sir..

Is it sympathy is what you were
about to askl know..

No..

Never..

Because Ravi loves
Meenukutty very immensely

When he was talking to me about this,

I saw that immense love in his eyes!

If he gets her,
We will consider it as his fortune!

I also had something else to say

When Ravi had such a desire,
he first disclosed it to Manikyan

Now also he is standing outside the School

Anxiously waiting foryour reply

As he doesn't have the strength
to face you, Poorfellow!

See you Sir

The Little Chicken ate grains

Thara stood staring.

The Little Chicken ate grains

The Eagle sawthat

And the crow also saw

Ask your dad to fix the auspicious date

No need of Ezhuttachan!

Seek some other good astrologer!

PANCHAYAT OFFICE

Please begin, Prabha teacher

Greetings

Please be seated

Thenkurussi needs light

We need Electricity at any cost

Street lights have reached
the neighbouring villages

It should also reach here at the earliest

Let no one in Thenkurussi must walk
in Darkness any more

No one must die in our
houses and fields at night

Let no one kill anyone in darkness

Sister, we all are with you in
getting electricity here

Don't get excited, Ravi

lfthe Electricity comes in,

Your 0diyan's business will only end!

You are also learning Odi from him,
aren't you?

Don't be so inauthentic!

Although Prabha is rig ht, aren't there too
many hurdles in bringing in Electricity?

Like Initial Deposit

Wood for the Posts,

and Space for Line connection

Can we afford all this?

Could be impossible foryou

But possible for me!

All at my own cost

Just say when you require

I've the enough wood in my fields
for as many posts you require

And Land..Anywhere...

I can immediately transfer it to Panchayat!

What do you say?

Pull it well and tie

Dol need to bring in skilled labourers
from Perambavoorto complete thejob?

Yes..Pull that nicely

Thenkurussi will get Electricity
and light very soon

Look, Posts are erected..lines
have been drawn..

Is to trap me these lines are being drawn?

I don't belong to this Village

But ever since I stepped in,
lam hearing about Odiyan and Odi tricks!

I'm also certain about one thing
like everyone here..

That Odiyan and Odi trick can't be confined
inthe brightness of4 bulbs

What do you say?

Yeah..Carry on..Carry on..

Oh! You?

Long time no see!

After becoming Kelakam's son-in-lawthe path
to this place has been forgotten, is it?

Not at all.

I can understand Madam
forgetting the old paths

After so long, I've not forgotten...

...any person or any path

I was little busy, Manikyan

Oh! Busy in bringing electricity
to light up Thenkurussi!

No.. Not at all.. In factl came here
to convey something else

I wished to tell it to you first
and then to my dad.

Hmm.

Meenukutty is Pregnant

So soon?

Hail grandpa! May you live happily!

Here..

Then let us..

- Wasn't it Splendid!
- Absolutely!

Drink tea all of you

Thus the Light has come in!

Slowly.

At dusk, where are you taking this blind?

It's bad times!

Here some may get other ideas
on seeing a pregnant woman

Hope you understand what I am saying!

Should we ourselves provide Odiyan
the scent of a fully grown fetus?

If he sniffs, then both mother and baby
will slip from your hands

Therefore try reaching home before dark

Please don't feel offended
ifl say something

You have the place of an Elder brother

Still you shouldn't have spoken
this way in front of her

I thought you have little sense

Nowl understood you hardly have any!

Let's move, dear

To take away happiness,
People will turn up from somewhere!!

Take your darling wife carefully

and hand her over safely
in the hands of Odiyan

Atleast she will know
that he can't do anything

No Odiyan has cut open the Stomach
and taken out the fetus one has created!

You are all what Odiyan needs, Ravi!

You be careful

So that you also don't turn up
dead like Prakash!

No Ravietta! Don't ask fortrouble

He is not a human being. He is an evil!

This nephew of mine in Kelakam family
had two desires

First to marry Prabha Cechi,

and then keep me as his concubine

His damn advise!

Don't look back..Keep walking

Suffer

Reach her home safely

Don't let the fetus slip off on the road!

Leave me

Don't.

If anyonetalks rubbish,
no one must considerwho it is!

I too will not.

From nowl shall also address you by name!

So Ravunni Nair, Manikyan's
suspicion is right

Prakashaettan was killed

Now I'm sure who would've done that!

Stan counting backwards

You are reaching ZERO

As you call, a Black Round Zero!

Nobody is around

Narayani must have got fed up waiting!

(Singing)

(Reciting hymns)

O Lord..O Goddess..l will be back now.

No way..l will not talk to him

Look Ezhuttachan there

What are you up to, Ezhuttachan?

Waiting in queue to buy a movie ticket!

Don't you guys have any other
business to do? Get away

Won't let me Pee also. Useless fellows!

Hail Lord!

Didn't I Walk?

Oh no!

Hail Lord! O my God!

0mg!

Hail Goddess!

Am I still not walked?

What are you groping on the ground?

Hello..Please help..

Oh no! O my god!

(Chanting hymns)

Thank heavens!

O Lord..Narayanani..Naryanani...

Hail Lord Narayana...

Narayani...l'm back home..

Oh no...Odiyan..Odiyan..

Only forthis reasonl brought
electricity to Thenkurussi

Ezhuthacha, it was I who provoked him
to do an Odi on you!

But slightly missed!

Next time it won't miss

Were you deliberately putting me as bait?

Boys..Search him

But still, Ravunnietta...

See..no use of bringing in Electricity

He keeps doing 0di!!

See what happened?

We became Morons!

He has broken it forthe 3rd time!

He will break the entire
bulbs in Thenkurussi

We shouldn't leave this

Do we need to talk to Odiyan
or lodge a police complaint?

Go and lodge! Police can hardly
do anything to him!

Why Police? Aren't we alone enough?

We shall ask him

What do you say, Ezhuttachhan?

Who dares to talk to him?

Yes..coming

We will escalate it to Damodharan,
let him speak to him

Aren't they friends?

What an irony!

Nothing will happen

You go and speak to him

- I will try
- What?

I can only try

Don't be scared, dear

In this thunderstorm,
are you waiting forthe rain?

Doesn't this little one sleep?

Ravi will be late, Meenutty

Why spoil the sleep ofthe baby too?

Go to bed

Let me wait for some more time

Do as you wish

I got to check some papers

Ravi dear

Has Ravi returned?

Ravi dear

Ravi dear

Ravi dear

Meenukutty, what was that noise there?

Oh no! Ravi!

Oh my god!

Who the hell did this!!

Oh no! Meenutty..0ur Ravi..

Evenl suspect the same! It's the Odi!

It is said he was not present
during the incident

He was in UdumalpeL. it is all lies!

As witnesses two Tamilians
were also produced at the Police station

That is what we call.. 0diyan's illusion

He can be present there and here too!

Can do the Odi there and here also!

While he would be drinking butter milk
there, he will be drinking arrack here

this time, even if he can get away
from Police and us under any pretext

Isn't there One above watching all this?

Still..on behalf of a
person eating raw flesh,

creating potions out of unborn fetus
and killing people

Our Gopi Sir defending
so long... unimaginable...!

How much of advising...

Fate!

Afate, father and son pleaded for
and got from that Odiyan...!

Experience it then

How often had I advised
the dad and the son?!

They didn't pay heed

Now why CW?

Burn him

The Odiyan... right now

His ashes too must not remain by dawn

Hmm

Yeah..Wait..Surround the house

Hmm..Burn it down

Burn it down to ashes

Come on everyone

What is this Meenutty?
How can starving help?

Shouldn't you think ofthe baby too?

The Kelakom home thus very soon turned
into that ofjust two widows.

Since the day Ravi passed away,
Meenu moved into her room,

never stepped out.

Neither she spoke to anyone..

Shackled in loneliness in self-exile
she locked herself

No...

One day...

Just one day...

She stepped out.

On the 14th day of Ravi's death.

Meenutty, where are you going?

I want to meet Manikyan..

...Right now

Would you take me?

Why do you want to meet him now?

Even if you refuse, I will go by myself.

Meen utty, careful..

Just for once

To hear that I walked all this distance

...l only want to hear that

For your Odi trick,

Did you need my fetus, Manikyan?

"N0" is what I wish to hear

Say..

Say N0

Don't touch her

After bringing darkness in this
blind woman's hean also,

Aren't you quite satisfied?

On killing Prakash in the fields
and Ravi in front of her,

What did you gain?

Darkness...You are only Darkness!

Adiny pitch darkness that puts
your loved ones into Darkness!

I have frightened"

And have blacked out..

But haven't killed anyone so far!

It's not me

then, now and ever..
only thing I got to say

It's not me

It is not me

Notme

That's all, my grandpa

Awasted life of the last
Odiyan in Thenkurussi

I have not killed anyone, grandpa

You know the truth well, grand pa

One day Thenkurussi will knowthat

But why did you...

I carry the curse of many generations

May be to stay away from it,
my dad fled Thenkurussi then!

I am also leaving, grandpa

Surrendering all my Odi tricks here!

Any outside work for me to do?

If I starve witho ut work,

then it's a disgrace to this family

Plenty of chores for sure

Kept pending all these many years!

Look at the state of the farm

Didn't you walk away quietly one day!

By the way.. Were Odi tricks yourjob
wherever you travelled?

Where were you these many years?

Never permanent anywhere

Wandered a lot..

Prayed at many temples

Bathed in several rivers

Begged for alms

And what did you gain?

Nothing

Returned the way I had left

Like the one night I left

Praying that no one sees me

into the same darkness!

The turmoil in my heart still remains!

All that pounding in my chest that
kept me from sleeping all these while

Those hooves.. they still persist

a
m

Howeverl had enough, Madam

I only found answerto
the blood I did not shed

The curse of many at the
end of my Odi tricks,

...The darkness of many nights"

None ofthem have left me.

You didn't tell anything about yourself!

What dol say, Manikyan!

I cried a lot

A lot turned grey

Kept watching the boy growing

What else?

Kept listening to a man
proposing every month

And I abused and chased him away

Then..

Then when a Deer hopped by the house once,

The young girl of yore eagerly
waited for its return!

All the doubts within me,

(flflaflpu

Now..

Only FEAR prevails

FEAR FOR LIFE

I know

Thangamani Varisiar told me everything

Varisiar?!

But she had left Thenkurussi

Where did you meet her?

Varanasi

You would've seen me several times

But we've not spoken so far

Thenkurussi folks did not address
me as Thangamani Varisiar,

but as Varisiar of Ravunni!

Earlierl used to be
thrilled by that address

It was much later that I realized
I'm not Ravunni's Varisiar!

The only name that was
always present for him,

was that of Prabha!

Also while lying drunk beside me,

He used to call me that!

And I shared the bed with him for
many years like another woman!

All that...

...l tolerated!

You are shivering a lot

If don't mind..

Why do I mind, Manikyan?

Ravunniar do visits my home

Seeing him walk with Wide chest and head up

I used to be very much joyous

A kind of hope..

He visited my home daily

Except for 2 days

Why?

It was to kill two persons

It was he who said that he killed them

Whenl had asked him to stop sniffing
behind Prabha and marry me,

You!! I've satiated myself with two murders

One with Hooves pounding on him

and the other by stabbing with horns

If God bestows on me with Marriage..

Then it will happen only with her

...Prabha!

Shouldn't she also be interested?

Has she ever noticed you?

You!

I have only one doubt now

Who is going to be killed
by my hands first?

You...

or her?

I fled away fearing him only

I will never return, Manikyan

In this Kashi,

in some hermitage,

before I breathed my last,

me meeting you and disclosing the truth,

is all for sure God's will

Before leaving Thenkurussi

I met Prabha

and told her everything

She is in real fear

And poor Meenkutty, she stays confined
behind closed doors foryears

For enduring and withstanding everything,

Prabha has only one reason

I know what that is

Therefore you should return, Manikyan

If you delay,

No one will remain in the Kelakkam family

Then couldn't rest there

Atleast hereafter don't bow before him

Don't stay quiet

lam there beside you to defend

As long as you need me

by the side ofthis Kelakkam house!

Shall I serve some gruel, Manikyan?

Hmm..Yes

Sit inside

Hmm

When she came to meet you last

Since then she hasn't
stepped out of her room

For these long years...

Didn't even botherto visit a
hospital for delivery..

Even Monu's growth, she didn't watch

When everyone kept saying
you killed Prakashettan and Ravi,

including me.

She...0nly she..

Said that Manikyan will never
do such a thing

Though people with sight lied,

My child alone sawthe truth!

O my God!

Mummy

Mummy

Mummy

Mummy

My dear son

Au nty

Madam

Here

I heard you are making money

Cheating locals!

Not cheating, I make strong Odi

A person is still in the hospital
...One Kounder..

At Pollachi Hospital

Look at the pride terrorizing and
sending a person to hospital!

What all disguises do you take?

Come on...Leave that, Madam

How can I?

I have a desire

to see you in a disguise!

Oh my grandpa..once when
I fulfilled a wish,

a person died!

Iam yet to get a response

What is your desire!

Deer

A Buck!

WWW you?

Deer?

I don't know to take such forms

I have few errands to do

Okay, done

No..Not tonight!

Tomorrow night

After Pollachi bus leaves,

Keep watching at that pan

"l will bring, I will bring"

"l will bring a pine-leaf mat"

"l will take you, I will take you"

"To "Anthyalan" grove"

"To see the "Pullaani" forest"

"And to pick white lilies"

"l'll take you to the hill
where deers run, girl"

"l will bring, I will bring"

"l will bring a pine-leaf mat"

"The Sorcerer night breeze..."

"A swing on the palm tree..."

"To see the shadows moving
in it like hair-dance"

"ln the clear sky at midnight"

"Did you see the clouds"

"Following like herds of deer"

"Lust blooms in the "Pala" shrubs"

"Girl, I will bring, I will bring "

"l will bring a pine-leaf mat"

"l will stand, I will stand"

"l will stand leaning on your chest"

I can't name the relationship between us

I can't name the relationship between us

Even I have not been able
to explain it to myself so long

I don't know the affection between two
people can be given a specific name!

Still I asked, like all girls..

"Do you love me"

"What kind of a love is that"

Madam, Night was the breath of my life

Night, when everyone sleeps

I wanderthrough Thenkurussi
at night..l loved

Not as Odiyan. Like everyone, on two legs

Isn't it becausel had no one like
others to put me to sleep or wake me

I often think so as I wander alone

While wandering like that, upstairs in the
eastern corner of one Tharavad

I happen to see a single lamp glowing

I have always considered
it as another sleepless person like me

Two lonely persons in the night

Definitely will awaken a liking

When all are asleep, a liking
for someone who isn't,

is all I felt..

And that is all one must

Being around to be heard
and seen is happiness

A lie

A lie a man uses on his lover when he is
sure that his love is not going to succeed.

One blatant lie!

That's is all to it!

I'm fed up hearing this every month!

Can't you at least realize both of us
have greyed and grown old?

It's my final warning

I can't stand this any more

lfl get to hear it again

I will forgetyou as my Uncle
or some Thenkurussi Chieftain!

I will be forced to take the broom!

Get out

Don't keep sitting turning
your face darker!

It's the arrogance of his return!

An audacity that you never had before...

Listen"

Are you planning to marry
Odiyan, eat raw flesh

And slanderthe family reputation?

If so?

If so, how does it affect you?

Isn't it enough for me to convince
my dead husband?

In fact he didn't die

But was killed!

The two ofthem!

- That..
- Out

Othen/vise"

You will be forced to hearthe
0diyan's Slang from my mouth!

You!

For all your responses...

and the humiliations by you,

I will pay back to him

and then all that kept aside for you

Keep waiting

Knaflafixfixam]

May be she was also not sure of your return

But I knew you will come

To smear my hooves with blood

By the time you leave,

some more bodies will fall in these fields

This Ravuni is certain about that too

No, Ravunni Nair

Don't raise the count
of dead bodies any more

0ne..

Just one

Dead body to lie flat on the fields!

That is all I need

What you've been telling is true

Forthis Manikyan's return
after these long years,

has got only one reason

It's to kill a person

After seeing that dead body, I will leave

Mark Thenkurussi 0diyan's words!

Without waiting to wash that blood
and change my dress

I would just walk away

Until then, I will be here

When did you start
doing Odi against children, Manikyan?

Have you gone that cheap?

You well understand why I mentioned
your nephew's name

As well as I!

Don't stand and needlessly
provoke an 0diyan..Leave

I know

It was for her..You returned

I was only away from Thenkurussi

Not from Madam

To understand that,
this binh is not sufficient foryou

Nair..Leave

Wait

In case if you feel like killing
someone on your way

Keep this

Which you hid in the warmth and
chillness of yourVarisia's side!

Dry blood stains are on this!

Ofthe ones you clubbed and
lanced in my name..

Those two person's blood!

To kill you, I don't need this Wooden hoof

Take

NoWyW 9°

and rescue your nephew

That's whatl am saying

Don't send Rajesh alone

Before Odiyan catches us,
we got to catch Odiyan

ls your planning against Odiyan done?

What else now, straight
tothe fields, isn't it!

What the hell do you all think of Manikyan?

Even yourtongue should shiver
while talking about him

Plan that you all don't
get killed in the fields

Even if you all get together,
you can't even touch a fur of his blanket!

To think of finishing
him, must be an equal..

That is ME

What do you think, Aunty?

Who will win tomorrow?

Would Odiyan lose?

Would lose!

But that would be Thenkurussi

I'm not able to catch sleep, Manikyan

Will you be able to do it at this age?

We are of same age

I know the difficulty in pulling
this shutter down

Give up, Manikyan

Forget it

Needn't wait to inform them..
Just walk away silently

Some days later, everyone
would forget everything

Tomorrow on No moon night

Thenkurussi must be in complete darkness!

You got to ensure that

Just understand"

Look into my eyes

Those Children is what you see!

You've watched many of my acts

Watch this last act also of mine

I know forwhom you are doing all this

You loved her so deep, didn't you?

To term it as "LOVED"
both of us aren't yet dead, Damodara!

Fortonight, you are the
Sub-Inspector of Thenkurussi, Ravunni

I have scheduled everyone for duty
at the temple festival

Our deaf Raman lyer guards the Station

Won't it suffice?

Yes fine

Has someone gone to check if
Odiyan is at home?

Yeah, Madhu and Rajan have gone

Dude! That was a shadow

Needlessly frightening others!

Kill him

Seeing a Shadow...! Get up and come

Kill him.

Stop..Stop.. it is Jayan

Why did you jump upon us!

Why the hell youjumped upon us

How can be then?

We just tolerated with one

Useless boys!

Get the torch

What is it?

Don't get scared boys!

For that who is scared off!

One cigerrate

Take out a cigerrate

Give

Smart boy!

Let Thenkurussi remain in darkness
whole of this night

You take"

Drink this and sleep inside

I did say earlier not to get
entangled with the Sorcerer

ls it now become a scare for everyone

Shut up..Hell with you...
ifl give you one kick..

Guys

What is it..dude?

He is not at home..

Didn't we search every farm and field..

Did we get to see him?

We even searched at his home..

That is whatl am saying..
He has left this place

Need not be scared

I don't think he will be here anymore

That too so late

You take out the bottle,
let's have a drink, come

Lets sit there..Come...

Plant the torch there

Take the stuff out quick

Plant it over here

Gulp it down, dude

No, I don't want

Yourtension will disappear

Eli'
IE

You take asip

You are sure... don't want?

Where are you going?

Will be back

Going forthe Sorcerer?

He has taken the road to Kashi

Open one more..

What happened, man?

What is it, Dude!

What is your problem, Man?

Bhbfinnaw

Throwthat out from your mind

I saw him

Seen what?

It is all your brain's imagination

Then why the hell are we around?

Can he appear in this brightness?

Even if he does would he return safely?

I will pierce this sword into him

Hey..come here

Take him away

Hey Manikya!

It is not the kids to be terrorized!

The game is between us

Your existence so farwas designed by me

This Ravunni

Where you should smile..

...Where you should cry

and when to run away...

and now your death too

Hey you Darkie Nair! Didn'tl say then..

Him...

The Odi trick on your nephew as a front,

was actually for you, Ravunni.

Who needs this boy?

This Odi in Thenkurisi was marked on you

Now there you are...before me!

The day marked by me

The time marked by me

Come out then

What did you think?

You are the only Great
Sorcerer in this World

Then who is he?

His hand, unlike yours, doesn't tremble
on seeing blood

When the knife pierces the hean,
eyes don't blink..

My right hand

It is his hands that I used to kill the two

After finishing you tonight

This Ravunni will light the fire in the
lives of two Madams of Kelakkam house

Odiya!

All yourtricks will end here!

All your games in the darkness must end

In this daylight like brightness
you will burn to ashes

Hey Ravunni...What did you think?

That you can burn this Sorcerer down
in this brightness you created

If it is a Black cloak in darkness

Then in brightness just
a white cloth to cover

is all this Sorcerer needs

The last lesson my grandfather
whispered into my ears

You Ravunni Nairfrom Kelakkam Family

This is your Punishment

Your destiny

Au nty

Hmm

So the 0diyan's story ended, isn't it?

Who told you it has ended?

Then?

Switch offthe light

Forwhat, aunty?

Do it, dear

Oh no! Who is inside our room?

Aunty, someone is in our room

Please put on the light, aunty

Now switch it on

Whoa! Lotus flower!

Where you got it from?

Give me

This is not foryou

Please listen..this is not foryou

Go and sleep with mom

From where did she get the Lotus flower?
