Saudi Vellakka (2022) - full transcript

'Sudheesh, pass me that charger.'

'It's there in the bag, sir.'

'Okay, got it!'

'Shini sir, can you
make me a black coffee?'

'What about others, Abhilash?'

'Binoy, do you want black coffee?'

'Hello... Thoppumpady police station...'

'Mini, do you want one?'

'Yes, one jeep has left from here.'

'- Don't tell me later you also wanted one.
- They are on duty.'

'Binoy, do you want one?'



'Sir, is there anyone in the bathroom?'

'Kurian sir is there inside.'

'There isn't any toilet cleaner left.'

'Clean it using a soap.'

'Super!'

'Rani, the bucket in the Sub
Inspector's toilet is broken.'

'Please replace it.'

'Its rim has been chipped off.
Does he eat it?'

'It's been there for some time now.
Do you want coffee?'

'No, thanks. I had one from home.'

'Rani, I wanted to ask you something.'

'What?'

'Didn't you tell me about an
astrologer in Kadavanthra the other day?'

'Nagesh Babu, right?'



'Can you get me his appointment?'

'I'm down on my luck.'

'My son fractured his leg last
month while playing football.'

'My husband burned his leg
from the bike silencer.'

'The blister has turned so big.'

'Everyone is injuring their legs.'

'Bad times!'

'Will Babu be able to help with it?'

'Of course. He's an expert at it, sir.'

'You would start flying once you
wear the amulet given by him.'

'Okay, that's what I want.'

'Would it be okay to fly after two months?'

'Why so?'

'He slipped in the bathroom last week.'

'Heard that his foot got
stuck in the closet.'

'He's in the hospital now.'

'Super! Doesn't he wear any amulet?'

'-How will I know that?
- Rani...'

'That bathroom floor is slippery.
Please clean it.'

'We were talking about that only.'

'Sir, have you got a fever?'

No, just body pain.

'I can prepare you a dry
ginger coffee if you want.'

No, thanks. It'd cause heartburn.

'Where are you heading to with the fever?'

I need to handover a couple of summons.

Sir...

'-Where are you going?
- To meet the inspector.'

'They built the building saying
there is parking space for 5000 cars.'

'But what can the police do about it?'

Who's it inside? Can I go in?

- Good morning!
- Good morning, sir.

- What's it?
- Summons.

- Which one?
- The Vellakka (baby coconut) case.

Can't you just send it on WhatsApp?

The Magistrate is a bit rigid.

- Who's it?
- Mr. Vinu.

Oh! The one from Palakkad.
Then you should definitely give it by hand.

Is it just Saudi?

No, other places are also there.
Their addresses have changed.

Have you submitted the report
of the other case at the court?

Yes, sir. APP will submit it.

Okay.

Hey, what's the case?

Punctured a police jeep.

Superb!

Thought you could get away
by giving fake addresses?

Are you making us fools?

-Sir, a fund collection is happening at the ferry.
- What fund?

'They are saying it's a flood relief fund.'

'-Please send someone.'
- Okay, let me see.

Is there any fund collection
happening at the ferry?

- Yes, I'll send someone.
- See to it.

What’s the occasion?

- It's from the contractor.
- Oh no!

- I don't want it.
- Inspector only asked him to bring it.

Why are you not taking the sweet?

My politics have always been different.

- Sir, from the shipyard...
- They are sitting inside.

Meet the inspector.

Kurian sir, where are you off to?

Have to handover a summons in Saudi.

Saudi? Are you crazy to
go there in this rain?

Can't wait for the rain to stop.

Where in Saudi?

- Mundamveli.
- Okay!

None of them have appeared in court.

Let me see if I can make them appear.

'Saudi Vellakka -CC 225/2009'

'[cookery show commentary]'

'Seer fish can also be
fried in banana leaves.'

'You can do as you like.'

'Mostly it's done in Pearl Spot.'

- Hey, listen!
'- What?'

Was it the second whistle from the cooker?

'Don't know.'

Turn it off when you hear the next.

'Mom, I can't do it with
this pregnant belly!'

No use in telling her!

Kala, where did you get
the sardine from?

It's from Xavi's.

Brought it when they
came to see my daughter.

Since your daughter's in-laws are fisherfolks,
it's easy for you to get fresh fish.

Damn!

Go away!

'There's formalin in it for sure.'

Why is she bothered about my daughter?

I know how to look after my family.

No wonder she's still
living in a rented house.

Nosey lady!

'Mom, can you fry the
sardine in a banana leaf?'

I'm not in a good mood.
Don't make me yell at you.

Ask your fisherwoman
mother-in-law to cook it for you.

'What!'

A husband who looks like a sardine!

What's your problem?

'Why are you being casteist?'

'I've the right to be a casteist since
you had eloped with a Christian.'

'What if I eloped?
They look after me better than you.'

'Alright! Go live with them.
I don't want anyone here with me.'

'The next time you call me complaining
of back pain, I won't pay heed to it.'

'What's the use in calling you?
You make things worse for me.'

'Well, I didn't have any
relationships when I was studying.'

'How will you have one if you drop
out of school in fourth grade?'

'I know very well about your studies.'

'I'm the one who got humiliated
in front of the PTA.'

'Why do you always drag in
the PTA to win an argument?'

Is there anyone here? Hello...

- Who are you?
- Isn't this Sasidharan's house?

- Yes.
- Please call him.

My father is dead.

Who's Abhilash Sasidharan?

My brother.

- Where's he now?
- Bangalore.

Bangalore!

- What's your name?
'-Who's it?'

Anusree.

Anusree!

Is there anyone else here?

My mom is there.

Mom...

Inform Abhilash to appear in
magistrate court on Friday.

Else it'd become an arrest warrant.

- What happened, sir?
- What's your name?

- Kala...
- What?

- Kala.
- You are Abhilash's...

M..mother.

How long has it been
since your husband died?

Eight years.

Have you got his death certificate?

Yes.

Give me Abhilash's phone number.

621214

- What?
- It's 62, sir.

Is there any problem, sir?

'Pick up the phone.'

Hey...

Wake up you moron...

Bro, pick up the phone.

'3 cheers to Chennai Super Kings'

'To our dear Chennai city
3 more cheers!'

'To our dear Chennai city
3 more cheers!'

Are you dying to marry off someone?

It's to marry off your mother,
you scoundrel!

Have you got anyone with you?

What's it, mom?

Won't you let me sleep?

I just got back from work.
Call me later.

Police had come here looking for you.

- Police?
'- Are you going to ruin this family?'

For what?

Give it to me. I'll talk to him.

'Mom...'

Kunjumon, this is the other case.

'You must appear in court on Friday.'

'You're trapped.'

Court?

But what did I do?

What are you chit-chatting about?

- Oh! Stop it, mom.
- Give it to me.

'-Did you cross-check the address?'
- Oh! Dammit!

- I'll tell him.
- No, let me talk to him.

'-One of you please tell me what the matter is.'
- Give me a minute.

Go inside and talk.
People will hear you.

What's your problem, mom?

'Hello...'

- Hey...
'-Tell me.'

I'll send you something.
Read it and see.

Kunjumon, he was saying you'd be arrested.
It doesn't look good.

What the hell is this?

'I'll send it. Read it and see.'

Okay.

'What happened?'

Sir, please understand my situation.

You must give me two days.

- Keep it somewhere.
'-No way!'

I was talking here.

Sir, I'm stuck.
It'll become a big problem if I don't go.

Please understand.

Sir, please try to understand me.

'You don't need to say anything.'

'Quit the job if you can't come.'

Sir, I'll surely work from home.

'You can't work according to my orders, right?'

'You're fired!'

Sir, don't be so cruel.

I asked for only two days leave.

Sir, it's a police case.
I'll be screwed if I don't go.

- Please sir...
'- You're fired!'

'Hey, how old are you?'

'Twenty four, sir.'

'What?'

Twenty four!

'Do you know how old that woman is?'

No, sir.

'She's around 85.'

Damn!

'There's a limit for everything.'

'We are to answer at court
for the things you do.'

Sir, what do I do?
I'm not associated with it.

Sir, please sort it out somehow.

'You think our job is to sort out your mess?'

'Why are you silent?'

'Aren't you planning to go abroad?'

'Sort out the case...'

- No, sir. let me tell you.
'- Don't say anything.'

'Appear in court on Friday at 11 am first.'

'We can talk then.'

'Have you started from Bangalore?'

'-Have you started?'
- I'm on my way.

'Anyway, appear in court on Friday.'

Okay, sir.

'Call me when you reach.'

Are you taking the bus home to go
straight to the police station?

Shut up you pest!

Hey, go fast!

'[A movie is played in the bus]'

'Did he call you?'

'When will you reach tomorrow?
Should I send an auto-rickshaw for you?'

He was talking as if I
committed some big crime.

Don't send anyone.
Althaf will come to pick me up.

'I was 10 years old back then.'

'I will never forget that horrible day.'

'Ever since my Dad got selected to play
the role of Roland in Chavittu Nadakam,'

'people around me have been acting crazy.'

'That's how it is always.'

'When one is excited, the
other one is turned off.'

Master, what's the problem
if I play the role of Roland?

What's the problem?
Tell me.

Roland! Shut up man!

Do you have the qualities to be Roland?

Have you seen Sasidharan's performance?

Learn from him.

Don't hurt my feelings.
You know me well, right?

'I will burn down Saudi.'

- Didn't it come off yet?
- I'll pluck it off.

'[sings a songs mocking him]'

'Ah! Can someone pull it out?'

'Anu, aren't you eating?'

- Mom, what's there to eat?
- Semolina bread.

Then give it.

Keep your legs down.

What's this on your uniform?

Are you going to school to plough?

How do you expect me to
wash it in the rain?

It's been 5 days since it was washed.

Did you copy during the exam again?

I was just taking down notes.

I know what your notes are about.

Why are you standing like
a fish caught on a hook?

It's been two days since
you went for the tuition.

Go get ready.

- Get going.
- Get lost!

I'll be humiliated by your teachers during
the next parents-teachers meeting too.

'She always copies during exams.'

'At least you study well unlike your father.'

Step aside.

Do you have any personal
grudge towards me?

- What language is this?
- Malayalam.

Mom, he has become wayward.

'Kunjumon, stop fighting
with her and go to tuition.'

Alright!

Nuisance!

My back aches from
sweeping away these leaves.

Let it remain there.

I'll show her.

This tree ought to be chemically killed.

I'll destroy it.

Let them file a case if they want.

I have faced many cases.

Let their leaves lie inside their compound.

'Hey...hey...'

- What the heck are You doing?
- What?

What's it, Umma?

Why are you throwing the
leaves inside my compound?

- I dropped It by mistake.
- By mistake!

It's just leaves.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Didn't I tell you I dropped it by mistake?

Then why are you wiggling?

Wiggle? Stop shouting unnecessarily.

You're the one who started this argument.

There's no use in talking to you.
Don't know how to behave.

I know very well who
isn't behaving properly.

- What's it, mother?
- Hey, girl!

Girl?

- Take this woman inside.
- Stop it, Radhakrishnan!

Simply arguing with a gentleman.
Nuisance.

A gentleman who wrecked
his daughter's marriage.

I'd said this earlier too.
Yes, I'm a gentleman.

Here comes a gentleman!
Mind your business.

I know very well about your decency.
I know your story too.

You don't have to teach me any stories.

Say it at your house
that you're a gentleman.

What's it, mother?

What's going on, brother?

This has become a usual practice.

Mother, are you crazy?

We need to live here properly.
We're decent people.

Is this your decency?

'Mother, why are you going behind it?'

'Why are you fighting with him?'

'I would have spoken to Anitha.
It's just some leaves.'

- Mother, sit there quietly.
- Over our wall.

It's a new wall. We're yet to
sort out the case around it.

'You call it a case?'

- Call Sathaar.
'- Are you crazy?'

'-Sathaar would be driving now.'
- Call Sathaar.

- What are You mumbling from the kitchen?
- What's your problem?

Nazi, it's because you're unable to confront
him that I'm asking you to call Sathaar.

Why do you have to call him now?

He should be the one asking him.
You call him.

Please be quiet, mother.

Sathaar is supposed to confront him.

Why are you keeping him
away from everything?

What's your problem, mother?
Do you want to bring him here?

Go get the kerosene.

What the heck!
There is no kerosene here.

No kerosene? Then why did
you go to the ration shop?

Damn! I went to buy rice.

Rice? Then who'll buy kerosene?
Your brother who's in jail?

What's your problem if someone
from my family is in jail?

Don't say anything about my brother.

- I'll go and buy.
- Where are You going?

Don't yell at me.

What? Sit down.

- I'll go and buy.
- What? to buy kerosene?

- As if You buy everything here.
- Yes.

- What's the matter with you?
- Shut up!I know What to do.

- Mother, wait there.
- Don't try to stop me.

As if I don't do anything here.

Yes, you do nothing.

You'd make people say there
are two kitchens here.

I'm not living at their expense.

'Kunjumon, your sister has gone astray.'

'Xavi is trying to woo your sister.'

'Let him suffer.'

Kids, don't push me.
Go carefully.

We're going carefully, Umma.

'Move your cycles from the road.'

- That shed has been built for your cycles.
- Okay.

Yes, keep it inside.
Causing trouble to their parents.

Please get me kerosene.

What happened, Umma?

Your daughter-in-law had left
10 minutes back with rice.

Give me the kerosene.

Have you started to
prepare food separately?

Do you want to know everything?

Here.

Sugadha, give me sugar.

'Prema, Sathaar is still childless, right?'

'Has he got any issues?'

- Umma, are You coming back from the ration shop?
- No, I'd gone to play football.

'Radhakrishnan...'

'-Bose, is that you?'
- Yes.

'I'm at the work-area.'

Are you hiding here and
cracking open coconuts?

Carry on!

Why would I hide?

I didn't steal these coconuts
to crack it open in hiding.

Your neighbours will tell the truth.

Bose, are there any good
guys for my daughter?

A couple of them are there.

Why do you look sad?

- What to say!
- What happened?

- Everyone is sidelining me.
- sidelining you?

Hey! Hey!

'These children.... Hey!'

Hey! The floor is slippery up there.

If you slip and fall...

- No..No..
'- I won't take responsibility.'

Hey boy! Aren't you Sasi's son?

- Yes.
'- Go and study.'

It's his father who sidelined me.

There seems to be plenty of students.

Don't give the evil eye.

Four is on this side.
Not the other side.

None of them are from the gulf.

They look like idiots.

Just because she was married
once, don't be indifferent.

When did I show indifference?
This is all I've got.

Tell them she's from
a good Nair family.

And it was because the guy was
a lunatic they got divorced.

Okay?

I'll deal with it.

That's fine? Are you gonna
marry her off by lying?

You either perform on the
stage or fix marriages.

Do just one. That's good for you.

- 'There's no use in sailing on two boats.'
- I've stopped acting.

Mango?

- No one can be trusted.
- That's what!

Take it.

What's this? Fifty rupees?

Isn't it enough for
showing just three photos?

Stop being stingy and help me out.

Can you lend me money
to start a business?

Yes, I'll lend money with interest.

'[kids arguing while playing]'

Stand aside.
You might get hit by the Vellakka.

Hey, play carefully.

- Six!
- Oh, no!

'What happened, Althaf?'

Oh no!

Throw it away.

'Is this the way to bat?'

Hey, come on.

'What's happening?'

She has left.

She's coming. Escape!

What's the matter?

Open the book.

Hey! Who was it?

- Who was it?
- I am not do.

Was it you?

- It was you, wasn't it?
- No.

Hey, who are you?

Open your mouth and say something.

Not me.
It was him.

- Who?
- Kunjumon.

Hey, run!

Stay there.

Better come here.

You better come down.

- Umma, it wasn't me.
- Step down.

I said come here.

It's because your parents pamper you
back home, that you're doing this.

Oh no! Umma, don't hit me.

Please don't hit me.

'No... please stop it.'

- What's your problem, Umma?
- Problem?

Oh no!

Do you want to know
what my problem is?

Want to know?

Oh! no

Oh no! Mother...

What happened?

Come fast.
Oh no!

'What happened?
Why did you go up?'

'Did you kill that boy?'

'You fool!
What are you doing?'

'What happened, child?'

'Mother, what did you do?'

'Oh no....'

'Open your mouth and say something.'

'His mouth is open only.'

'My boy was born after making
offerings at the church!'

'Oh gosh! My child!'

Sister, did you see a toothless boy?

You didn't see? Oh no!

- Someone please tell me what happened.
- Quiet, it's a hospital.

Leave me. My child's tooth got
knocked off at the tuition class.

He almost ended up in the ICU.

ICU? Oh, no! I couldn’t
even feed him properly.

He lost a lot of blood.

What?

He lost a lot of blood.

What happened?

I just went for the tuition.

Are you attending the class
by standing upside down?

Does it hurt?

Did anything happen to
his internal organs?

What?

Who are you?

Did he break any bones?

Does this hospital have
facilities to take x- ray and scans?

Who's this pest?
Is he the child's father?

No.

What? I'm a marriage broker.

Stand outside.

Outside?

I want to meet his father.

'It's because of doctors
that fathers were born.'

It's an attack on a minor.
File a police complaint first.

The kids were saying it
happened while playing.

But that's not what your son told me.

Don't complicate things for us.
File a complaint.

Doctor, I...

Just a minute.

'I saw it with my own eyes.'

Things are going out of control.

What are you saying?

It's an attack on a minor.

Stop it, brother. Don't drag us
into your dispute with her.

What's the use?

Don't complicate things.

Great!

What if she goes to the hospital tomorrow
and files a case against your son?

You'd be trapped then.

Just a precaution.

Nothing should happen to us tomorrow.

Do it if you want to.

Don't get into unnecessary trouble

That's what, sister.

That's what.
Nothing should happen to you.

Master...solve this.

Will something happen to us?

Wait for me

Simply troubling us by getting
into unnecessary things.

What's your mother's problem if
someone from my family is in jail?

What's your mother's problem?

- Leave it, Nazi. She's getting old.
- Getting old?

As if others are not getting old here.

The problem is with her tongue.

What was the need to go up the stairs?

Did anything happen to her?

What's there to happen from a Vellakka?

Both mom and son are heedless.

If she picks a fight with me
again, I'll say something back.

'Hello...'

'Is there anyone here?'

They are watching daily soaps inside.

Which one is it at this time, Uthara?

- How will I know, sir?
- It's Minnukettu.

Minukettu?

This place is packed with houses.

Even though the lanes are narrow...

Kochi people after all.

- They survive wherever They go.
- Everyone has got money, sir.

We're the only ones who are poor.

Who’s Mrs. Ayesha Rawther?

My mother.

'- Please call her.
- What's the matter, sir?'

- Who are you?
- I'm her son.

- What's your name?
- Sathaar.

- What do you do?
- I'm an auto- rickshaw driver.

- Where?
- Palluruthy.

Call your mother.

She went to bed.

'Won't she get up once she goes to bed?'

Uthara, go and see.

'Ayappa, what's the matter?
Is it a complicated case?'

No, sir.

'- Where's it?'
- Saudi.

'Handle it with care.'

'Ayeshumma...'

'- She's not well.
- Let me talk to her.'

- Aren't you Ayesha Rawther?
- Yes.

Were you sleeping, Umma?

Please come with us.
We need to go to the police station.

Police station?
Why are you taking her?

We can come back now itself.

She's not well, madam.

She'll be back soon. Don’t worry.

Then why are you taking her?
What did she do?

We have received a
complaint against her.

It's nothing, we'll leave
her after the inquiry.

Go get the jeep.

She's not well, sir.
Please don't take her.

She beat up a boy and
he's in hospital now.

Oh goodness!

It's a fake case.
I'll bring her to the station.

Don't worry. Call someone
and come to the station.

'- Prasad, come fast.
- Coming, sir.'

I don't know. Please go and see.

Please come here.

Sister, come fast.
They have taken my mother.

Umma, what have you
done at this oldage?

Sir, my mother won't do like that.

Don't get us into trouble.

Umma, did you slap that boy?

Mother, say something.

See, she's silent.

She must be frightened.

Let me ask her at the station.
She might answer then.

Please don't do anything to her.

Sir...

'Mary, come over here.'

'Stop wailing.'

'Sathaar, don't run.'

- Don't cry, son.
- Did They take her?

'Nazi...'

Please tell me.

- Please say something.
- I don't know.

Why are you frantic?

Where is our mother?

Where is she?

Wash your hands first.

Will they put her in jail?

What are they saying?

- Please tell me.
- Bring my phone.

I don't know, sister.

Here. Go and find out what it is.

I don't know anything.

Sathaar, tell us what happened.

Britto, are you there at home?

Come outside.

Britto... they have taken my mother.

Police... police...

- For What?
- I don't know.

- Can you come with me?
- Wait.

'- Where are you going?'
- What happened, Sathaar?

Nothing.

- Mummy, the police have taken my mother.
- What happened?

'Tell me where you're going.'

Wait.

It's nothing.

Reetha, take mother to bed.

Now she'll keep saying this till morning.

Get on.

'Please switch off the TV.'

Will you come back soon?

Get on.

Hello...

Johny? This is Britto
Vincent of INTUC Saudi.

I tried contacting Thomas sir.

Is it?

Does he have any other number?

Is it? Okay.

- What's it?
- He's in Dubai.

Was it the Sub Inspector who came?

I don't know.
There were around 5 people.

5 people? What's it man!

It's not like she murdered someone.

Let's see.

Yes, it's not a murder case.
But it's section 326.

It's a non- bailable offence. Got it?

Don't put us in trouble, sir.

Is it my job?

She was just advising that kid.

Did she have to advise him
by knocking off his tooth?

Please tell Ayappadas to
leave out section 326.

'Biju...'

'Biju...'

Come...

- Did you contact the Magistrate?
- his number Is not reachable.

Keep trying. Tell Uthara to wait.

Sir, Britto Vincent of INTUC party.

Sir, that's my friend's mother.

So?

Can you please leave out section 326?

It isn't a serious case, right?

When the children were playing...

- What Did you say your name is?
- Britto Vincent.

- INTUC's?
- Party member.

Were you present at the spot
when the incident took place?

It's an attack on a minor.

Sir, I do understand what you're saying.

Sir, can't you...

A 10 year old boy was attacked
using a dangerous weapon.

His bones and teeth got affected
and he's in the hospital now.

His father has given a complaint.

Shouldn’t we investigate?
Shouldn't we file the case?

We should, right?
That's the law.

After all, we're police officers.

Sir, isn't she an old woman?

Why were there four people to arrest her?

That...

We'll decide whether to
go alone or as a team.

You do your job and we'll do ours.

Okay?

Has your father come?

'He's drunk as hell.
Don't make it an issue.'

It's to not to make an issue that
I told you to call your father.

Ravi...

'Yes, sir?'

Bring his RC book to my room.

What to do with these guys!

You may leave.

'- Got your license?
- No.'

What have you got then?

Come here.

Simply bothering us.

- have you got a helmet?
- No, sir.

'Is there anyone at home
who's in their right mind?'

'- Sir, my uncle is there.
- Give me his number.'

- What Did He say?
- Let me talk.

'What should I do?'

Sir, is there any way out?

- What Did the inspector say?
- He didn't say anything.

It's complicated.

- Who's this Radhakrishnan?
- He's our neighbor.

Is there any issue between you people?

Why did you ask so, sir?

- That's your mother, right?
- Yes.

Does he have any issues
with you or your mother?

Hey, is there any problem?

There's an argument over the boundaries.

What's it?

Didn’t I tell you that
scumbag is behind this.

It was he who prompted the boy's family.

- Sir, I want to go home.
- Uthara, what's your problem?

Keep your phone for charging.

Bibi, keep this for charging.

- Okay, sir.
- Try here if That one Is not working.

What does Radhakrishnan do?

He's a clerk at the high court.

He's a moneylender too.

Baby sir, he did it on purpose.

Someone had called from Saudi.

I think it was one Mr. Vishwambaran.

Britto, do one thing.

Come to the Magistrate's
house with a lawyer.

Okay.

She can be bailed out.

Tomorrow is October 2nd.

It's a holiday for the court.
So don't postpone it for tomorrow.

Got it?

Does your mother have any health issues?

It's to notify the Magistrate.

She has hypertension and is diabetic.

Inform this to the Magistrate.
She'll get bail.

Okay.

Sir, can I leave?

Uthara, wait till this is sorted.

Come to Magistrate's by 11 PM.

Also tell the advocate...

Can he be taken for his
medical test at night?

Let's see.

Tell your lawyer to clearly
mention that she has health issues.

- We'll take care of the rest.
- Okay.

Prasad, keep calling him.

'Sir, why do you find
fault with whatever I do?'

'Stand aside.'

'You'd have killed me now.'

Hello...

Hey, can you recommend an advocate?

It's to get bail.

I'll explain that later.

At the Magistrate's house.

Sir, the Magistrate is not
reachable on the phone.

- How about We do it tomorrow?
- No, no.. keep trying.

Sir, Uthara wants to go home.
What do we do?

Tell her to sit there. Please.

Don't let her leave.
She can go after this.

You... you... you...

Idiot! Don't you
understand what I'm saying?

How many times did I tell you?

Sir, I'm better than before.

I'll thrash you.

Sir, let me ask you something.

Is it a crime to feed a starving animal?

If it's so then I'm ready to hang.
You can sentence me to death.

Rascal!

Why would you shove
chicken biriyani into the mouth...

of the elephant
carrying the divinity?

Sir, we're the festival
organizing committee.

Hey! Who are you?

Sir, committee....

- Which committee? Move back.
- I'm the treasurer.

What treasurer?
Stand there.

Shut your mouth!

Be quiet.

Silence!

Are you fooling around
at the police station?

Don't open your mouth.

- What?
- Wear your shirt properly.

Hello...

Hello, Salam....

Do me a favour.

Sir, where would we get an
elephant at this time of night?

Sir, won't you be able to arrange one?

Heard that actor Jayaram's
elephant is a nice one.

I haven't seen it in person.

It's a good elephant.
Sir, you'll be able to bring it.

Should I go and ask?

- Rajesh, you wait outside.
- What's it, sir?

Rajesh, get out. I don't want to see you.

How many times did I tell you?

Get out of here!

I'll wait outside, sir.

I think its name is Kannan.

Sir, don't feel bad.

- Can you arrange an elephant?
- elephant?

Yes, an elephant.

- What about Jayaram's elephant?

Kannan is very busy. Isn't it?

'What about the elephant
Guruvayoor Keshavan?'

'It is dead, sir.'

'Mangalamkunnu Karnan?'

'No, sir. We haven't got the

shortcuts to get there?

Take that road next to the church.

Go on. I'm coming.

No use at all!

There's no use in rushing there.

If we go for bail at this time of night,

the judge will admonish you.

As if Magistrates and
advocates don't need to sleep.

Have we reached?

What are you saying?

I'm talking to you only.

I've seen many advocates and courts.

Magistrate is available even at midnight.

Won't he be there?

Why are you sitting with your shirt open?

Sit straight.

'Bro!'

Why are you sitting like an imbecile?

Why have you put it here?
Take it.

Can't you behave properly?

Oh goodness!

Are there more steps?

Keep it with you.
Give it back when we get there.

Come fast, advocate.

- Did you call the medical center?
- Yes, but No one picked up.

Look at the problems the police
have to deal with at midnight.

Who the heck are you to ring
the bell like this at night?

- Magis...
- What?

- We're here to produce the Magistrate.
- Produce the Magistrate?

To produce the accused.

Who took you to the police?
And why are you ringing the bell?

There isn't anyone here.

If you meet the Magistrate,
tell him not to come home.

Understood?

Ma'am, it is...

We can't keep her in the
police station for a long time.

We've very few lady constables on duty.

- Please tell Sir...
- What should I do For that?

Do one thing.
You people come inside and sit.

How about I wait outside? Is that enough?

- What the heck Is your name?

No, my name!
What the heck is your name?

Ayyapadas K C.

Mr, Ayappan, don't you understand
when women talk to you?

- Don't you?!
- Yes, ma'am.

Don't I understand, Uthara?

Britto, come...

'Advocate...'

Why the heck did you go there?

- What if the Magistrate comes to know of it?
'- Police brought us here.'

He picked up a fight with
his wife and left home.

'- Won't he be there?'
- Yes, please check.

'Got it?'

- Brother, I'll call you.
'- Okay.'

- What happened?
- Wait!

Sir, I got in touch with
his assistant Kunjaniyan.

Tell me.

Magistrate often walks
out when she turns crazy.

Is it?

There are two possibilities.

He'd either be at Seagull bar.

Bar? At this time?

- Or...
- Or?

'MAGISTRATE COURT'

Be careful.

Hey!

- What happened, sir?
- We looked For him everywhere.

Kunjaniyan said the
Magistrate would be here.

Please open.

- Is He there inside?
- Did you contact him?

- I saw his car outside.
- He's there inside.

Help her.

What’s the matter, sir?

produce her before the Magistrate.

Oh! Come.

Isn't it, brother?

Did you take the key?

Brother, take a copy of this.

Here.

It's full of people.

Looks like you have good neighbours.

'Hey, ladies! Umma has come.'

Tell Nazi to stop crying.

Umma, be careful.

Help her out.

Is it possible to reverse
the rickshaw there?

Yes.

'Hey, close the gate. Else he'll
reverse the rickshaw there.'

Hey, what happened?

- What's the matter?
- Nothing.

Say something.

Let me hear the matter first.

He's not saying anything.
What’s the matter?

Take her inside.

Mother, did the officers say anything?

Why are you silent?

Turn on the fan.

Hey, please move.

Umma, did the police do anything to you?

What's the section?

What happened?

- Nazi, Let me talk to her.
- I'll ask her.

We also want to know what happened to her.

'What's there to know? A Vellakka
fell on her head. That's all.'

'Is that why you were wailing?'

'This is not how you were
behaving when we came here.'

'Is this drinking water?'

'Is it from the jug? Then give it.'

'Umma, did they do anything to you?'

'Mary, can you please stand aside?'

- What are you looking for?
- Have you got 300 rupees with you?

For what?

To pay the driver.

'Umma, do you want another glass of water?'

This is all I have.

I'll return it tomorrow.

Wait.

'Lali, take her home.'

Take this also.

- Please return it tomorrow itself.
- Okay.

We also want to know.

'Go ask your son if you want to
know what happens at the station.'

Hey, bro!

Brother...

They didn't like us coming here.

Nazi, bye!

- Sathaar, Is your mom fine?
- Yes.

Hey, is it anything complicated?

'Why are you silent?'

'You were talking
incessantly in the evening.'

'- What happened now?
- Nothing.'

- What rubbish Is this?
- What rubbish?

We're just playing cards.

- You can't play here.
- What's it, Sathaar?

Go home, brother.

- Mom went to sleep?
- I think so.

- Did you have to spend a lot?
- Is That the issue here?

- Tell me.
- She's only got bail now.

Let's try to sort this out tomorrow.

Go sleep.

Go and sleep man!

I'll see you tomorrow morning.

Don't be shy.
Go on, pee.

He missed school for two
days as he'd fever.

Yesterday only he went for tuition.

We never thought something
like this would happen.

- Where Is your husband?
- He went somewhere early in the morning.

Didn't sleep a wink last night.

Uncle, can you buy me a porotta?

How will you chew it without teeth?

Hey!

Sreekutta...

She's the one.

- This lady?
- Yes.

- She's the one who beat him up?
- Don't let her inside.

Leave.

Don't make a scene. Leave.

What's the matter, brother?

Nothing.

I just want to see him.

You don't have to see him.

You don't need to see him
or do anything for him.

- Get out!
- It was a mistake.

- I'll leave after seeing him.
- No need.

Let go of me.

Leave fast.

You've also got a son, right?

- You're going to suffer.
- I'm unable to sleep. That's why.

Haven't you had enough?

I'll leave after giving this.

Aren't you ashamed to come here?

You beat him up and he's
not even able to pee now.

It's embarrassing.
Everyone is looking.

What's the matter, sister?

It was this old hag who beat my
son up and made him like this.

Better leave.
Don't make me say things.

If you interfere in this,
I'll knock off your teeth.

I know this is a hospital.
I was waiting to talk to her.

Don't say anything. We won't show him.

Old hag, this is a police case now.

You thought you could
coerce him by giving a bun?

Let go of me.

What's the problem with your mother?

- Where's the general ward?
- take right from there.

Umma, he's simply making a scene.
You please leave.

Shut up.

Old hag, you don't know me well.

You'll definitely suffer for
making my son like this.

- Don't make an issue, brother.
- Who the heck are you?

Her son. We'll leave now.

Hey brother! Isn't he talking?

'Isn't there anyone here to stop them?
This is a hospital.'

I'm INTUC member Britto.

Sreekutta!

I said stop it!

Didn't I tell you not to push me?

Don't touch me.

Come on man!

Hey, please move!

Hey, leave.

Sathaar, take your mom and leave.
We can talk later.

Let go of me.

You!

'Oh no!'

- What happened?
- Stop it, Nazi.

Stop there.

What's the problem with mother?

No need.

I didn't sleep a wink yesterday night.

I've a splitting headache.

Why the heck did you go there?

Stop it. Don’t talk like that.

What do you want to prove?

What did you gain from it?

There's a limit for everything.
Don't trouble me.

I don't know anything.
I've got only you.

Hey, wait there.
Please relax.

Are you happy now?

Are you satisfied now since
you've hurt that poor man?

Why did you go to the
hospital with the bun?

- Nazi...
'- What's it?'

Come here.

'Look there.'

She went up like a rocket.

She attacked him right in front of me.

- Is This Where They were studying?
- the kids were here.

The lady belongs there.

'Since I interfered at the right
time, that kid is still alive.'

This is to write on the report.
Give me all the details.

Take that Vellakka.
It's a mainour.

She beat him up with a
coconut frond this big.

Where's it?

It's been missing since last night.

Dear...

Can you give me that knife?

I'll give it back now.

Sir, shall I cut one?

- Sir, How about This one?
- Just Bring one.

- Sir?
- That's enough.

Take it.

'Used to cut fronds as a kid.'

Dear...

The police had come to collect
the coconut frond today.

Oh goodness!

Don't go behind the case.

We won't be able to handle it.

You know, right?

I've experienced it.

Dear... did you take your medicine?

Did mom eat anything?

I don't know.
She's not talking to me.

Oh! He's off to pamper his mother.

There isn't a penny here to fill my teeth.

And now he's running behind
other people's teeth.

Fate!

This smell will never go.

Mother, eat something.

I don't feel like eating.

Don't be scared.

Police won't come after you anymore.

Did my words hurt you?

For what?

I don't know anything, mother.

Son, go and sleep.

Go sleep.

Nothing else will happen.
Britto has sorted it out.

Son, go to bed.

I'll sleep.

'Ernakulam... Ernakulam...'

'Edapally...'

'Come on, get off.'

'Get off.'

'- Kunjumon...'
- Cut the call, mom!

'- Are you coming on bike?'
- Yes.

- I'm on my way.
'- Is there anyone with you?'

Althaf is there.
I'm coming.

'Don't run into the police.'

What's it? What happened to you?

Hey!

Please shut up and drive.

'- Is it the other case?
- Yes.'

'- Did you get any call from the police?
- Yes man!'

'- You're finished.
- It's alright.'

'You don't know Kerala Police.'

'They are hawks.
They'd pounce on you.'

'INTERVAL'

With all these charges framed against her,
she'll get at least 5 years' imprisonment.

These regular court visits are
far worse than imprisonment.

That too at this age.

Is it possible for an out
of court settlement?

I'm ready for that.

How's it possible for an ongoing case?

What the heck! Whob s calling?

It's Renju.

Bro, please find a solution.

I've never stepped inside
a court in my entire life.

I don't want to do it.

You haven't got another option, Kunjumon.

What the heck!

Why did she feel
like knocking off my tooth?

Who was it?

Manaf!

'There has never been another
era where men stooped so low.'

2009 January 8

'Men have fallen for many heinous sins.'

'The world is filled with
brutal crimes and injustice.'

'What's the reason for this?'

'Sin! Sins committed by men!'

'I'm not talking just about religion here.'

Sathaar, where's your phone?

I've been trying to call you.

Battery gets drained fast.

Brother, keep this for charging.

Don't forget to take it.

Hey, did your mother receive any summons?

Her bail got canceled.

I got to know it from the court.

They are saying she didn't go for the
hearing despite sending summons twice.

So they canceled her bail.

We will need two people to stand bail.

'-Britto, you want tea?'
-No.

'What's he saying?'

When are you going to Sharja?

Tomorrow night.
Don't worry about that.

I'll bring one person to stand bail.

The second person...

Can't we ask Nazi to stand bail?

Take mother to court on
Wednesday and apply for bail.

'Are you going to fight the case?'

It's because my dad fought my
brother's money laundering case...

that I'm suffering today.

I can't suffer any longer.

I won't let you fight
this case if I'm alive.

'What have you achieved so far in life?'

'Do you have your own auto-rickshaw?'

'Do we have our own house?'

Forget all that.
Do we have a kid at least?

And you're going to fight the case now.

I'm done living for others.

'You always walk out
whenever I say something.'

'You only know to love with your heart.'

'Learn to love with your head too.'

'Doesn't she have a brother who
married her off to a widower?'

'Let him fight the case.'

'He has lots of money, right?'

Don't you have anything to say?

What's your problem, Nazi?

Is it me?

Or my mother?

Do you want to hear that too from me?

Son, are you going to
get rid of me somewhere?

Why are you talking like this, mother?

Tell me.

Nothing, son.

I'll go to Perumbavoor by myself.

I'll sort out the problems myself.

Son, you can love people
only with your heart.

That's what you're capable of.

Sister, I'll have to get the permission
of my children to let you stay here.

That's how it is always.

Once the rain stops, the
umbrella becomes a burden.

Can you arrange a house for me, brother?

'Mother...'

'Mother...'

What's it, son?

Mother...

Come home.

I'll take care of my things here myself.

I can't live without you.

Go home, son.

It's raining heavily.

You go.
She's all alone at home.

Not that...mother... it just happened...

Go home.

I can manage things here.

I'll fight the case myself.

Mother...

What!

What did you say?

What!

'Britto, it's getting late.
Come on.'

Isn't she your mother?

Go die, you stupid!

'Mummy...'

Bye.

Shall I go?

'Son...'

Come back soon

Don't pay attention to her.
You get going.

Call us when you reach.
Get inside.

Get going.

Okay, bye.

'Forget all that.
Do we have a kid at least?'

'You only know to love with your heart.'

'Learn to love with your head too.'

'I don't know anything.'

'I've got only you.'

'Son, you can love people
only with your heart.'

'You're capable of only that.'

'Are you going to get rid of me?'

'Isn't she your mother?'

'Go die, you stupid!'

'I don't know anything, mother.'

'Adv. Govindraj Shenoy'

- Who's it?
- I'm here to meet the advocate.

He was not well.

He would always complain of
fatigue but we used to tease him.

But he was really sick.

The issue was with his lungs.

But it was too late by
the time we found out.

Umma, I'll get you something to eat.

If you want I can give you
the contact of his assistants.

Do you want it?

No.

Ma'am, I didn't get our
usual brand of milk.

- That's alright.
- Who's that old woman?

Your boss had helped her
to get bail in the past.

Is it? Please introduce me to her.

'- A woman with no expression on her face.
- I can deal with that.'

'Please introduce me to her.'

- Are you living in Saudi itself?
- What, sir?

- Are you living in Saudi itself?
- Yes.

- Where's your house?
- Kannamaly.

Where in Kannamaly?

What was his name?

Sathaar.

Sathaar!

When did he go?

- Yesterday morning.
- What time?

Around 9.

Sir, I'm going for the
passport verification.

- Hey, look into the matter I told you about.
- Okay, sir.

Take that paper also.

Does he have any mental issues?

No, he's absolutely fine.

If there's anything, say it clearly.

No, he always comes home at night.

Are there any issues
between the two of you?

There were no issues at all?

No... no problems as such.

Was it his own auto- rickshaw?

- No, it's for rent.
- Is the owner also from Saudi?

Yes.

Can you give me its number?

KL

There she is!

Hello. Umma

Umma

Umma

I'm Gokulan. C P Gokulan.
I'm an advocate.

I was Adv. Shenoy's junior.
His wife told me about you.

Got a case? I'll take care of it.

Really.

See, I've got the advocate
sticker on my scooter.

Umma, hop on.

Come on.

She'll pay for it.

Umma, have this tea.
It's good.

So you need bail!

Don't worry about that.
Have this tea.

Brother, add some more sugar.

You can have sugar, right?
I like mine sweet.

We need two people to stand bail for you.

Two people.

To stand bail?

You haven't got anyone?

Don't worry.
I've got people for it with me.

It's an usual practice.

Have this tea.

- Bro, This Is Gokulan.
'- Which Gokulan?'

- advocate Gokulan.
'- What's the matter?'

Listen, can you stand bail for someone?

'I'll come only if I get paid 1500 rupees.'

- Don't be so adamant, darling.
'- I will, darling.'

'I've got my tax receipt and ID proof.'

Come to Thopumpady court
on Wednesday with Makkan.

We can settle the rest there.

Reduce the amount a bit.

'I'm not doing any social service.'

'If you pay me, I'll come and stand bail.'

'I don't have anything to gain from it.'

Don't be so greedy, man!

Come to Thoppumpady court
the day after tomorrow.

- We Can settle it there.
'- Sure?'

- Of course.
'- I'll try to come.'

'If you need Makkan also,
you'll have to pay 3000 rupees.'

'We need two pints and 1500 rupees each.'

'Buy us biriyani too.'

All set!

There's no change to it.

Okay, bye.

So we've got people to stand bail.

'[calculates the amount]'

Umma, we need to pay them
five thousand rupees each.

Also we'll have to buy them
liquor and chicken biriyani each.

Only then they'd come.

My fee is 2500 rupees.
Since it's for you, I've reduced 500 rupees.

So the total amount is 12,500 rupees.

No... it's 13,500 rupees.

I haven't got anything with me.

What?

Umma, don't make me tense.
Those people are so stubborn.

On Wednesday even if
they go to work or not...

...even if they stand bail or not...

...they will strangle me.

- I don't have anything.
- Umma, don't say so.

How will I pay them?

Please arrange the money somehow.

Damn!

There's no use in looking at me.
How much have you got?

1200 rupees per gram. Enough?

12,500 rupees. Will that do?

'[counts the money]'

Here, 12500 rupees.

- Don't lose it.
- What?

I was not talking to you.

Bring 6000 rupees from
this on the day after tomorrow.

Okay?

Give it back.

Bring 5000 rupees. Okay?

- Don't give it to anyone.
- What?

Brother, I was not talking to you.

Understood?

Hey, is there any confusion?

Don't confuse me.

'Are you standing by your word that
the accused Inashu Joseph hit you?'

'Yes, of course.'

'Had there been any issues
with the accused in the past?'

'I don't know, Court.'

Every day at 5 in the morning, he
comes to my backyard and poops.

I questioned him about that.

That's why he made all these problems.

What do you do?

I'm the Headmistress at
Fort Kochi Santa Cruz school.

- Which Is your subject?
- Hindi.

What?

Hindi. Our national language.

How can you decide that yourself?

- APP, got any questions?
- No, your Honor.

- Any other cross?
- Yes.

It's a lie that my client hit
you without any provocation.

You had provoked him.

- My client was Just trying to Stop it.
- It's a lie.

Sir, don't talk nonsense.

I asked him why he was pooping in my
backyard when he had a toilet in his house.

It's because of that he assaulted me.

Not just that. He started to spread
rumors about me and my family.

I've got two daughters.
Don't we have to step out of our house?

- How many?
- Two. Pyari and Mary.

- Your honour...
- Yes?

It's the land where my client and his
ancestors have been pooping for years that...

...the accuser took possession of
with the help of some fake title- deeds.

Your honour...

This case is not about whether
the title- deed is fake or not.

It's about assaulting and
abusing my client who's a woman.

Your Honour, gender doesn't matter here.

Defecation is a citizen's right.

But why does he have to poop on my land?

If you really care about him, why
don't you let him poop on your land?

- Hello... Hello...
- Objection, your Honour.

Headmistress, where are you heading to?

Sorry, sir.

- Where's this place?
- Kannamaali.

The documents and possession certificate of this
land should be submitted during the next hearing.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Be present on that day.

Case posted to 13th of December.

Next.

'Cr no 452/2009, Fort Kochi station.'

'Fort Kochi Station!'

Appearing for A1 and A2, Your Honour.

Did they find only a govt.
bus to throw stones?

No.. sir.. they weren't
throwing at the bus.

When they threw the stone at a dog...

Just tell the truth.
Don't simply support them.

It happened while they were
trying to help their friend.

- You're late.
- Tyre punctured.

Okay, let them stay
in jail for two weeks.

Sir, it's my grandfather's
death anniversary.

Please grant me bail.

Hey officer, make necessary arrangements
in jail for him to do the rites.

'Next!'

'CC number 312/2003.'

'Vazhoor Jose... Vazhoor Jose...'

- How are you?
- I'm fine.

How much are you charging for this one?

Char...

- They are close relatives of my client.
- What?

They are close relatives
of my client, Your Honour.

What's the name of today's relative?

Name?

Ayesha Rawther
'[mutters]'

Does the accused know
these close relatives?

Umma, say yes.

Do you know the section at least?

Her name is Radhamani Amma.

Isn't it?

How long have you been practicing?

Two and a half years.

How much time do you need?

- Five minutes.
- Okay.

Make it fast.

Hey, why did you say things
you're not sure about?

What's your problem?

Now we won't get the
money we'd been promised.

- I don't want your money anymore.
- I'm not gonna give it anyway.

Don't call me for such things again.
I might come.

Hello... I'm at the court.

I said court!

Who the heck is Radhamani?

- That's my grandmother's name.
- Grandmother my foot!

- Isn't that a nice name?
- Radhamani Amma?

Who asked for your grandmother's name?

I had to answer him.

Makkan...

- what was your name?
- Ayesha Rawther.

Ayesha Rawther from Saudi!

Are you from Dubai?
I didn't know that.

Dubai my foot!

Idiot! It's a place in Kochi.

Which Saudi is that?

He's an idiot.

Hey, don't get angry.
We can sort it out.

- What's the section?
- It's 326.

Man! It's section 326.

Umma, say that they are your relatives.

'Her eyebrows are so thick.
Doesn't she thread them?'

For framing charge, case posted to...

14th of December. Okay?

You should appear for the
next hearing without fail.

'Next!'

"Sun goes down, boughs of cloud"

"Sky is boundless, sans any roosts"

Night arrives, unhurriedly

"Like the murmuring of
leaves, someone approaches"

"Like some clamour of
wings at the outset, "

"Here is the dayspring"

"Summer shall bestow"

"The shade of crow's feet"

"Blankets by winter"

"Who knows?...."

"Vanishes from sight like mist"

"Memories hardened from the weeping"

"Pathway is illuminated from light"

"Summer shall bestow"

"The shade of crow's feet"

"Blankets by winter"

"Who knows?..."

'I know him well.'

And you know him more than I do.

He'll come back, dear.

'MAGISTRATE COURT'

She hit the accuser Abhilash Sasidharan using
a dangerous weapon, a coconut frond and...

...prevented his right to freedom of movement
which came to the accuser losing his tooth.

Since the accuser couldn't run away, the behavior
of the accused could have caused his death.

Hence, as per IPC 294B, 323, 324, 326 and
341 the accused has committed the crime.

So this is a Vellakka case, right?

Yes. I'm her advocate.

Umma, have you committed the crime?

What was the need for it at this age?

Inform CW1, CW2...

...to be present for the next
hearing on 25th March.

"As seasons of blossoms and berries"

"Fresh honeycombs in
the garden of dayspring"

"Sweltering dampness, a sigh of relief"

"Wind and birds flutter in between"

"Memories rush backwards"

"Roots of impressions blaze with vigour"

"In my thoughts..."

"Summer shall bestow"

"The shade of crow's feet"

"Blankets by winter"

"Who knows?..."

"Summer shall bestow"

"The shade of crow's feet"

"Blankets by winter"

"Who knows?"

'Sister, say something.'

'Can't you see me working here?'

'Brother...'

It has been decided to transfer the
cases since 2008 to Ernakulam court.

Now the hearing will happen there only.

- This CC number has faded.
- Just write down something.

Brother, what do I tell my client?

'Tell her something.'

- Come back later.
- Sister, please check my case.

There are thousands of cases here.

It will take time.

- How long will it take?
- Can't say an exact time.

These files need to be recalled and sorted.

It'll take time.

It will take lots of time.

It will take time... It will take time...

Fine!

It will take time.

'Were you on leave yesterday?'

It'll take lots of time.

'Oh goodness!'

'I don't have anyone now.'

Keep it here.

They are bringing the soda only now?

'Dear, please wake up and look.'

Who’s Mr. Sasidharan?

- What's it?
- I've come with a summons for him.

For the dead body?

I see.

What happened to him?

Sir, he used to drink like a fish.

And toppled down from height.

Why are you making up stories?

Sir, it was a cardiac arrest.

As if drinking doesn't
cause a heart attack.

- please shut up.
- He's going to give it in person.

What am I going to do
with these kids now?

I've no one now.

Oh no! Don't burn my husband.

We're only going to keep the body outside.

Dad...

'Dad...'

Sir, the hearing is about to start.

- When?
- Now.

Umma, they will call us now.

- This Is Vishnu, my junior.
- Nice to meet you.

Bring her.

Saudi? Is there such a place in Ernakulam?

Your Honor, it's next to Thoppumpady.

- After the harbour bridge?
- Yes.

'Vellaka' means the baby coconut, right?

Isn't it what we call
'Machinga' in our area?

Your Honour, it's known
as 'Kochenga' in my area.

'- Kochenga!'
- Yes.

It's called 'Machinga'
in the eastern parts.

See, didn't I tell you?

What's the delay in this case?
It's been three years.

The file went missing in between.

Super!

Are CW1 and CW2 present?

We'd sent the summons.

Do the police officers over here
hand over the summons correctly?

Who's in charge of the station?

'Keep brooding on the summons.'

- Who's your advocate?
- his name Is Gokulan.

- How's he?
- He's a nice person.

When it comes to advocates it doesn't
matter if he's nice or naive.

It's all about competency.

He's competent.

When is the next hearing?

In March.

Umma, I'll be here from now on.

We can look for another
advocate if you want.

I'll come also with you
for the next hearing.

No need, son.

I've got used to these court visits.

Umma...

I'd met Nazi.

She told me everything.

Keep this, Umma.

No need, son.

Deduce this from the money we owe you.

I'll pack some snacks for the kids.

- Son or daughter?
- Son.

I'll come now.

Umma, I'm not going back to Sharjah.

My wife's father has got a boat.

So I'm thinking of taking care of
it with some work at the harbour.

That's good.
Being with your family is a big asset.

Umma, why hasn't he come back?

Maybe it's because he's
at a very nice place.

'My dear Court, please don't take offense.'

The police officers here are frauds.

- Gopinathan...
- Yes?

You can either pay 2000 rupees as fine or
spend 20,000 rupees for fighting the case.

What do you prefer?

If there's no other way, I'll pay the fine.

- Is it Okay For you?
- Yes.

Next.

CC 22/2009 Ayesha Rawther.

Ayesha Rawther!

Hey, move the bike.

Here is the phone.

Hurry up!

Come fast.

Sir, they are coming up
through the back door.

Come fast.

Sir...

Sir, we're present.

Sir, we've come.

Sir, we're present.

No one needs to panic.

Sir, we need protection.

Sir, we need protection.

Umma, stay here. I'll be right back.

We don't need to worry about that.

Police Go back!

'Get lost, you police!'

'Go back! Go back!'

'This is Kerala! This is Kerala!'

'This is Kerala! This is Kerala!'

'Yes, it's the right age.'

'It's from the doctor we got
to know he's a Malayali.'

'That's how we got the missing details.'

'Please see the body and confirm it.'

'Ma'am, you alone come inside.'

Nazi, go.

Go.

'Hurry up.
It's getting late.'

'Hey, be careful.
Come to this side.'

'Come on.'

Nazi...

Nazi!

That's not him.

What about CW1?
Isn't he present?

We had sent the summons, Your Honour.

Then hasn't he appeared?

- Respected Court, I've a request.
- tell me.

Your Honour, it isn't the first
time the witnesses failed to appear.

Is it?

By saying such excuses, they
are prolonging the case.

- May 24th...
- say the date again.

May 24th, 2013.

Since there was a commotion
at the court on that day,

the then Magistrate
couldn't even hear the case.

Two more dates were issued after that.

But the hearings didn't take place
since the Magistrate was on leave.

Then...

Once again we got a date.

But again the hearing didn't take place
since there was a harthal on that day.

It's after one and a half years
that we got a date for today.

Your Honour, considering my client's
age and health, I request you to free her.

We sent the summons without fail.

The hearings can transpire
only as per the court's system.

Just because the hearing
is getting delayed,

it doesn't make the accused innocent.

'Your Honour, this case was
dealt with by other APP's too.'

'But none of them could
come to a decision.'

'Also, they are only alleging
that she committed the crime.'

- Can you Give me a blank bill?
- What?

- Blank bill?
- We don't give it here.

Can't you just give one?

How's this to be taken?

Put it in the mouth and gulp it.

Dhanya, I'll call you back.

It's regarding the EMI, right?
I'll do something about that.

'How?'

I'm the one who pays it every month, right?

Then why are you reminding me all the time?

3500 rupees will be
ready by today evening.

I'll manage it.

'Hey, listen...'

- Isn't this the female ward?
- Yes.

Where's she?

Did they all faint?

There you are!

Are you lying comfortably here?

How are you feeling now?

There was no need to come here.

It's very expensive.

What's this? Bun?
Where's it from?

Don't take it.
Will have to pay for it.

Did you have breakfast?

No, son.

You should eat something
when you come to court.

Sugar levels must have dropped.

Listen, they are asking
to do a uric acid test.

That's not needed.
Even I've got uric acid in my body.

Umma.... around two thousand rupees...

The bill has come to around 2000 rupees.

The receptionist is so adamant.
She didn't reduce the amount.

I'll give the rest the next time.

Keep this with you for now.

Give it together next time.

We can sort it out at the next hearing.

Can I go home now itself?

'Hello... can you hear me?'

What's the hurry?
Let the medicine finish off.

Can I go now?

You can go when the medicine gets over.

'- Hello, Gokul...'
- Yes, dear...

'What EMI is it now?'

'- Should have married some bank manager.
- Then go marry.'

'Okay.'

The case is going to get
delayed further, Gokulan.

What the heck are you saying?

What will I tell my client?

What can I do?

The Magistrate has changed.

It's been three years since the case
has been deferred due to various reasons.

This is not fair!
There's a limit in torturing a person.

Give me your phone.
Let me show him that video.

I don't want to see any video.

Watch this. Porn is
nothing in front of this.

This is what's happening here.

- See.
'- She's brimming with lust. What else!'

Magistrates can do whatever they want.

Brother, please issue a date.

- Case number?
- CC 225/2009

- 2009?
- Yes.

Umma... it's the usual.

We're back to square one.

The Magistrate ran away.
A new person will join.

They postponed our case to March.

I spoke to the clerk and
changed it to December.

You had tea?

Yes.

Umma, have you got 500 rupees with you?

We need to pay the clerk for helping us.

Listen...

By the time things get sorted...

...would I be alive?

Don't worry, Umma. Let's see.

'What's there to see, Britto?'

On what basis will I sign this?

Did you get the dead body?

Has such an incident been reported?

Then how will I sign this?

- Sir, please sign this.
- Sir...

- Have you checked it?
- Yes.

It's been so many years...

Give it to GD.

- What were you saying?
- Since it's been many years...

What's the use in saying that?

What if he comes back after I
sign this death certificate?

I'll be in trouble then.

You wouldn't take responsibility.

Neither would she.

And I'll be in trouble.

- Sir, I understand what you're saying.
- You won't.

Do one thing. Move it through court.

No one's at risk then.

You may leave.

- Sir!
- Come

- What happened?
- it became viral...

He was saying it's to
follow up on the case.

But it was for this. Did I tell him?

Did I ask for the death certificate?

Nazi!

- I don't want anyone.
- Nazi, wait there!

How long will you wait?
Don't you want to live?

This is my life.

I will live it.

Did you hear me?

Why haven't the witnesses
appeared till now?

Explain!

APP! Do you know how many
cases I'm hearing today?

This is my 97th case.

Please have the energy you show in
running the case to finish it too.

Under which station limits does it come?

Thopumpady Police Station.

Are you eating the
summons we send from here?

What cop are you?

I don't understand what you people do here.

Who's making noise there?

Who's it? Didn't you hear me?

Hey, bring him here.

These people think they can do
whatever they want in court.

Writes down the FIR as they wish!

Can't you show a little bit of sincerity?

It's just a piece of paper.
Can't you send it on WhatsApp at least?

Your honour, since the wards have changed...
CW3 Radhakrishanan address has changed.

If you can't come to a solution in 9 years,

then why are you people here?

What about CW1, 2 and 4?

CW2 is CW1's son, right?

What are you all doing here?

Public come here trusting you people.

Mr. Mustache, have you got any excuse?

It's been only a week since I joined.

Wow!

Even KG kids make better excuses.

A case which got registered in 2009.

Still it's pending!
This is really ridiculous.

Yes! Brother, come here.

Are you the one who shouted outside?

Sir, for reversing the bike...

Don't you know you're not supposed
to shout in the court premises?

I came to sort out a case.

- Go and stand there.
- Sir...

Go!

The one who pleads and the one who
fights the case are just the same.

Next hearing will be on June 2nd.

You should track down
everyone in six months.

APP! I hope you heard it too.

Yes, Your Honour.

'Kunjumon...'

'We have never seen her smiling.'

'There's a numbness on
her face all the time.'

'Everyone has only defeated her in life.'

'Including me.'

'Please lose this case to her
somehow, Kunjumon.'

'Let her win at least once in her life.'

"Failing to see the dayspring"

"All round the smouldering night"

"Memories get enveloped in shadow"

"Known faces depart halfway"

"Like the flowers in the whirling wind"

Come on, bat! Hurry up!

"Seasons dash across some distance"

"Come back rowing, realising the truth"

Hey... Bose...

Hey, isn't there anyone here?

The woman there has gone for work.

"Donning different roles,
I'm wandering aimlessly"

Oh no, he's in jail now.

He was running a snack shop in Fort Kochi.

Here we're running around to track down
our liberator, but he himself is in jail.

'Sir, Bose is in jail for selling
snacks prepared in engine oil.'

- Engine oil?
'- We're stuck, sir.'

Do one thing.
'Send me the details of his case.'

'We can get him out through
a Production Warrant.'

What a horrible case!

That rascal Radhakrishnan...

He had contested in 2007 elections
from Saudi as an independent candidate.

All he got was one vote.

He sold his house and shifted
to Thammanam out of embarrassment.

Heard that he moved from there also.

Let's track him down.

"Ignoring the wounds"

"Without suffering like a chaff"

"I ascended the azure until now"

"The loop spirals in the journey ahead"

"I sought the footprints of day"

"Faraway..."

"Faraway..."

"Seasons dash across some distance"

"Come back rowing, realising the truth"

"Donning different roles,
I'm wandering aimlessly"

"Seasons dash across some distance"

'- Sir, please do it for me.'
- How's it possible, Abhilash?

- Sir, let me talk...
- I can only say what is written on the FIR.

It's what you all told me
that I wrote on the FIR.

Sir, can you do something?

Then the court would say all that
I did during my service was a lie.

- Sir, it's been so many years.
'- So what?'

'I've got credibility.
I can't retract what I said earlier.'

All of us are ready to change our statements.

But I can't do it, Abhilash.

'Why are you not understanding
its seriousness?'

It's difficult for me to lie.
Bye, Abhilash.

Didn't I tell you he's an ass?
He won't do it.

What's this Production Warrant?

There's something like that.

We come to know of it only when a need arises.

Sir, present him tomorrow itself.

He's very much egoistic.

- Are you tense?
- Of course.

Is this the item?

- Brother, what's the Magistrate's mood like?
- It's terrible.

Can we get Thankappan out with this?

'What all steps!'

Hey! What about that girl Manju?

Try to convince her.

Her statement is very important.

Don't you know her?
She was your classmate, right?

Well, I fell in love
with her in between this.

So it's easy now. And what happened?

I dumped her.
She got married to someone else.

Great!

Whatever! Just call her.
It's our need.

Don't you want to lose this case?

Hello...

Hello... Hello...

- This is me Kunjumon.
- What's it?

- What do you want?
'- Are you free now?'

Why did you call me?

Who's it?

- It's my mom.
- Okay.

Hello...

'Hello...'

Why did you call me?

Give me a minute.
I need to tell you something.

You saw the photo with my
husband on Facebook, right?

'Which photo? Hello...'

Grandpa, dinner is ready.

'Which grandpa?'

If your plan is to wreck my
marriage, I won't let you do it.

What are you saying?

I don't remember the
things in the past anymore.

I've forgotten you.

'Sudhi, our porridge is ready.'

Listen, let me talk first.

'I don't want to hear it.'

I've got self-respect.

I come from a decent family.

You frigging decent woman!

You've been babbling for sometime now.

I didn’t call you to
listen to your babbling.

There's a hearing of the case for which
you're a witness at Ernakulam court tomorrow.

You're the fifth witness.

If you don't want to go to jail,
come and give the statement tomorrow.

If possible, change the statement.

It'll do you some good.

Hang up you pest!

Get lost!

Kunjumon...

'Manju... darling...'

- Is the porridge ready?
- Yes.

Then come inside.

Hey, Radhakrishnan is in Athani.
Come fast.

We're in trouble, teacher.

Please help.

Please make your father understand and
tell him to change his statement.

His statement is very important.

Teacher... please...

Father...

Father...

They are from Saudi.

This is how he's been for the last 4 years.

Lost his memory.

Had gone to the backyard
to collect coconuts.

Collapsed right there.

Brother...

- Brother...
- Yes?

Human beings are worth only this much.

- Brother...
- Yes?

Won't we lose the case tomorrow?

"Seasons dash across some distance"

'Umma, are you off to the court?'

- Isn't the hearing over yet?
- It'll end today.

Awesome!

I'll give the balance amount now.

Ticket...

'Sister, ticket!'

'Bose...'

When you go to the court, that advocate
nun will teach you what to say.

But don't give the statement like she says.

You should change your statement.

Listen.... I can't lie no matter what.

Rubbish!

Won't you lie? You can't....

- Hey! What's it?
- Kunju....

If you don't change your statement
at the court I'll burn you alive.

Hey, come here.

No, sir. Why he is-?

Brother, which case are you talking about?

Kunjumon!

So this is Kunjumon!

Which is the case you were talking about?

- Oh, no!
- Oh, so you also don't know.

Gokulan, I had already given a date in June.

I was ready to hear it.

Then why did you go to the high court?

Respected court, this case
has been pending since 2009.

The hearing got delayed many
times due to various reasons.

Delaying it further is
injustice towards my client.

Who delayed the case? This court?

The court had already ordered to
present everyone on June 2nd.

Your Honour, June is six months away.

So what? Court proceedings take time.

Gokulan, you can be smart.

But don't be over smart. Okay?

CW1?

CW1 Sasidharan...

- Give me some water.
- Water?

Can I take this water?

This is CW1 Sasidharan's death certificate.

Is there any witness who is alive?

Next!

'CW2 Abhilash Sasidharan!'

'Abhilash Sasidharan!'

Go man!

Go inside.

Repeat after me.

I do swear in the name of
God that what I shall state...

...shall be the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth.

I do swear in the name of
God that what I shall state...

...shall be the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth.

- What's your name?
- Abhilash Sasidharan

- Where do you live?
- Saudi.

Do you know that woman?

Abhilash! Do you know that woman?

Yes.

So on October 1st, 2005...

Is it true the accused attacked
you mentally and physically?

I...

I don't remember it, court.

This case was filed by the owner of that
house Mr. Radhakrishnan and my father.

I'm not associated with it.

Please free her, court.

Wow! Where have you been all this while?

The court will decide
whether to free her or not.

Just say 'yes' or 'no' to the questions.

'You don't have to act saintly in court.'

Got it?

Your statement says you were
beaten up using this coconut frond.

Is it true?

That's what the doctor's report says.

So that's how you lost your tooth.

No, court. It was already loose.

So you're saying it was not when you were hit
with the coconut frond that you lost your tooth

It's not like that.

But that's what your statement says.

- Was it a false statement then?
- No...

I don't remember anything, court.

Your Honour, you may kindly
declare the witness as hostile.

The witness has turned hostile.

The statement given to K Ayappadas
of Thoppumpady station...

...by 9 year old Abhilash Sasidharan
of Guruprasadam house, Saudi.

While my friends and I were playing cricket
at the terrace of the house 'Anitha Bhavan',

neighbour Ayisha Rawther interrupted
our game without any provocation.

She verbally abused me and hit me
using a bat made of coconut frond.

I lost one of my teeth as a result of it.

This is what your statement says.

I was told to give that statement back then.

Gokulan!

No cross.

CW3 Radhakrishnan Nair!

- Radhakrishnan Nair!
- Here is the certificate.

'CW3 Radhakrishnan Nair has certified that he
won't be able to appear due to health issues.'

- Where did you keep that paper?
- 'CW4 Bose Thankappan!'

'Bose Thankappan!'

'- What's your name?'
- Bose Thankappan.

What do you do?

What?

- What's your occupation?
- Business.

- What business?
- I sell snacks.

Why did you go to that house
on the day of the incident?

I'd gone with an alliance for
the house owner's daughter.

Did you see the accused Ayesha
Rawther hitting Abhilash on that day?

What?

Your statement says you saw her hitting
Abhilash and knocking off his tooth.

I didn't see anything, court.

That was made up by the police officers.

So are you withdrawing your statement?

How can I talk about something
I haven't seen, dear?

No! Sister... I mean advocate...

Your Honour may kindle declare
the witness as hostile.

The fourth witness has also turned hostile.

I don't think there's any need
to read the statement again.

Gokulan, anything else? Gokulan!

No!

CW5 Manju Kishore... Manju Kishore!

Manju... dear...

Shall we go?

'- Won't you buy me lunch?
- You buy for us.'

- Manju Kishore, right?
- It's Manju Sudhi now.

Do you know that lady?

Yes.

On October 2nd 2005, this lady
barged into your play area and...

...attacked your friend Abhilash.

Manju Sudhi...

Eh?

What did you see on that day?

I was a little girl back then.
I was just 7 years old.

Is that the question?

Did you see the accused hitting
the accuser Abhilash Sasidharan?

Did you?

No, I didn't see.

But your statement says you saw her hitting
both his legs and back with a coconut frond.

Shall I tell you the truth?
I don't remember anything.

Can I go?

Gokulan, ask something to her.

Do you remember anything from that day?

No.

That's all, Your Honor!

Next.

CW6 Ayyapadas...

Ayappadas...

- Bye.
- Why are you looking at him? Come on.

- Is this the mainour you collected?
- Yes.

From where?

Will you deny it if I say this
case has been fabricated?

Of course.

Oh no!

Have you seen that lady before?

No.

That's all, Your Honour.

313 tomorrow. Is it okay for you, Gokulan?

Yes.

'CC 225/2009 Ayisha Rawther!'

'Ayisha Rawther!'

Umma, speak.

I had hit him, sir.

What!

Come forward. Let me hear you.

I hit him, sir.

I hit him with a coconut frond.

I did it in the heat of the moment.

He lost his tooth because of me.

It's been 13 years.

I'm ready to endure any
punishment for that.

We lost!

I have a request.

Please allow me to ask him for forgiveness.

'Final hearing will be held tomorrow.'

'Next case!'

'[azan from mosque]'

The accused herself has pleaded
guilty in front of the court.

I don't think there's a need to
explain the points one by one now.

Ayisha Rawther has
confessed before the court that...

...she indeed hit Abhilash
using a coconut frond.

Not just that. This has been
clearly stated in the FIR too.

Your Honour...

Most of the offenses in my
client's name have been fabricated.

The accuser himself has stated
that his tooth was already loose.

Hence I humbly request you to eschew
section 326 from my client's charge sheet.

Considering my client's
age and health...

...I request the court to reduce the
severity of her punishment.

Considering the age of the accused, the
judgment will be pronounced post lunch.

- Is that okay, Gokulan?
- Yes, sir.

'Umma, I need to go to the harbor.'

There's some complication there.

I'll sort it out and try to come back.

Else I will come home.

Don't worry, Umma.
Everything is going to get fixed today.

- Go, son.
- Okay.

The accused has been found not guilty for
the offense under section 324 and 326 IPC.

But is found guilty for the offense
under 294B, 341 and 323 IPC.

Does the accused have anything
to say about the punishment?

As per the sections mentioned above,
since the court has understood that...

...the accused is guilty...

...the court imposes a fine of 5000
rupees and sentences to one day.

- So have you got any cash on you?
- Hey, we didn't lose.

I've only got 250 rupees for my bus fare
and my advocate's fees 1000 rupees with me.

I can't hear you. What's it, Gokulan?

Your Honour...

She has got only her bus
fare 250 rupees and my...

and 1000 rupees to pay her advocate.

But the fine has to be paid.

Sir...

I'll make the payment.

Umma, have you eaten anything?

I'm not hungry, son.

Shall I buy you a tea and bun?

What time is your bus?

My timings have gone all wrong, son.

Have it.

- Did you buy this?
- No. I made it.

- Is it?
- Yes.

Have it.

- It's tasty.
- Is it? Have it.

I had come many times to see you.

But no one let me come near you.

Wasn't there a felicitation ceremony at your
school when you got good marks in 10th grade?

I was there among the crowd.

I had come for your father's funeral too.

Weren't you wearing a blue
shirt for your sister's wedding?

You were looking very handsome.

I wished to talk to you on that day.

But I didn't come out of fear.

That's what the court says, right?

I was not allowed to come
near you or talk to you.

But now I can talk.

Please forgive me, son.

Umma, I'll hold that.

- Let me go to the washroom.
- Okay.

Be careful.

- Mom...
'- Where are you at?'

- Hello Mom...
'- How did it go?'

The verdict has come.

'We are not in trouble, right?'

Umma has to pay 5000 rupees as fine.

'I paid for her.'

Oh, no!

Was it for this 5000 rupees worth case
that I made an offering for 10,000 rupees?

It turned out to be an inhuman verdict.

Umma and I talked for a long time.

What's there to talk about this much?

'You come home.'

Mom, can't we bring her home?

'What!'

Shall we look after her?

Are you insane?

I'm serious.

'We've got more than enough here.'

Just come home.

'Oh, no!'

Hello...

Hello

[Indistinct chatter]

What happened?

Bring a vehicle.

Move from there.

- How do you feel now?
- Not at all good, Umma.

- It's so difficult.
- That's alright.

It's a boy.

She's saying it's a boy.

'Many people said it's going to be a girl.'

'Let me sit there.'

Umma...

I'll wait outside.

Why are you laughing?

What's it?

'Umma... get up.'

'Take the medicine after eating this bun.'

Umma, are you hungry?

Have this bun for now.

We can go home later and have porridge.

It's a small piece.

- Is it nice?
- Umma, you're simply awesome.

Of course.

Kunjumon....

Didn't you ask the other day whether
human beings are worth only this much?

Human beings are worth this much!
