Caught even if you have hidden or not.
Caught even if you've hidden behind me.

Anu, you're caught.

Jithuetta, Achu is coming!

Fast! Fast!

Jithuetta, stop!

Caught!

Anu, you start counting.

You were caught first.

Start counting!
- All of you, hide!



[Counting from 1 to 100]

Go!
- This is my place.

Go, I say!
- I won't go.

I came here first.

Go!

[50, 51, 52....]

[97..99, 100]

Caught even if you have
hidden or not.

Caught even if you've
hidden behind me.

Saw you!
Achu, you're caught!

I won't count next.

'Sullu'
(I give up)

Anu!

What are you doing here?



Is this the time to play?

Come!

Mom, did you see Jithuettan?

He must have gone back home.
Go, get into the car.

Anu!

I give up!

Achu!

Anu!

Achu!

Anu!

Have you prepared lunch?

Yeah. Long back.

Only these many of
us are here, right?

Sister...

Why don't we go to Kodaikanal then?

Great! As if Manojettan would allow!

Why?
- Shop to house. House to shop.

That's how Manojettan is, now.
- Really?

Moreover,

he's always angry now.

He shouts at Jithu and me for
anything and everything.

Which is this cupboard?

This is that old cupboard.

We got it repaired
by carpenter Mani.

Sister...

Come here.

Tell me how this is.

How is it?

It's really nice.

Is it good?

What are you doing here?

All of you are playing here?
Go outside and play!

I bought this for you.

Oh no! I don't need it.

Jithuetta, you can't do that.
Stop!

Stop!

Jithuetta!

Why don't you try something
new, Chetta (elder brother)?

Why something new?
I have the shop, right?

Achu, start counting fast.

How can you keep going ahead
with this shop, Chetta?

- First you caught us....

I came to know only
when Usha told me.

The loan is pending, right?

I have repaid the loan.

Don't you know Davis Achayan,
from Mundakkayam?

Achayan's son Sabu
had bought our shop.

The sales are terrific there.

It's in the town, right?

How many times did I
tell you to buy it?

You didn't do anything then,
because you were angry.

Wouldn't I help you
if you need anything?

What's the point
in saying it now?

Since Sabu was smart,
he bought that shop.

How do you intend to help?
With Usha's money?

And Mundakkayam
Davis Achayan's son!

He is really smart.

But he made money through
his own hard work.

And not with his wife's money!

Achu!

Anu!

Achu!

Anu!

Achu!

Anu!

Achu!

Anu!

Achu!

Anu!

Achu!

Anu!

Jithu, how many times have
I told you not to do this?

Mom!

Isn't that a living being?

I did it to see what
would happen to it.

Jithu, if you trap a bee
inside a bottle, won't it die?

What if you're trapped
inside a bottle like this?

Come here, son.

Why are you always
upto some mischief?

That's why dad keeps hitting
you like this, right?

Dad doesn't really like me.

Jithu!

Jithu, wait.

Jithu, wait.
Come here.

Jithu, wait.

Did you get your progress card?

Did you get it?

Then where is it?

Where is it?

Why didn't you tell me after
getting the progress card?

Jithu, look at my face.

Why didn't you tell me after
getting the progress card?

Tell me.

I forgot.

You didn't forget to forge
my signature, right?

Where do you learn all this from?

Tell me.

How many subjects did you pass?

How many subjects did you pass?

Two.
- Huh?

Two.
- Just two?

Just two?
Just two?

If you don't tell me when you get
the progress card, ever again...

I heard about our son's antics when I
met his teacher Joseph on the way.

Go inside!

Go inside, I say!

Hey!

Jithu!
- Leave me.

Come here.
- Leave me.

Hey!
- What is it?

What is it?
- Shall we take that Laddoo (sweet)?

Then I'll push that rice
sieve kept outside.

Then when mom goes this way,
we'll go and get it.

I'll be right back.

Mom, the rice sieve kept
outside has fallen down!

Come! Come!

Come fast!

Open it.

Open it!

Make it fast!

I'm opening it.

Mom will come now.

Mom has almost reached.
- I'm opening it.

Make it fast.

Mom has reached.
Do it fast.

Don't be hasty.
- Fast.

Open it!

Jithu!

Uncle!

Aunt!

Dad!

Anu!

Anybody there?

Anu!

Achu!

Uncle!

Anybody there?

Jithu!

Jithu, wake up!

Jithu!

Jithu, wake up!
It's time!

Jithu!

Jithu, you'll get
it from me now!

Wake up!

Jithu!

Jithu!

How long has it been?

Go!

Shobha!

Shobha!
- Yes.

Where's the lighter
I had kept here?

It must be there only.

I'm asking because I
can't find it here!

I have work here.
Check properly, Manojetta.

Jithu!

Come and have breakfast!

Hey!

If I ask you something,
will you get angry?

First you ask whatever it is.

They are all going
on a tour today.

Babu, Usha and kids.

So?

Shouldn't we also go somewhere?

They both are earning
quite a lot every month.

Here I'm the only one running
around for everything.

Jithu!

Jithu, come and have breakfast!

I've been calling you for so long!

That reminds me.

Why do you go and say
everything to Usha?

And he comes asking about
that to me, hearing that.

I've been wanting
to say that to you.

Why are you always
so angry at Babu?

Jithu!

He reached this stature,
because of my hard work as well.

Why are you reading
so much into it?

You know very well that he
didn't mean it that way.

Jithu!

Aren't you eating?

I don't want Idly.

Then get up and go!

Jithu!

Jithu, eat it and go, son.

Jithu!

Oh my God!

Jithu, aren't you
coming to play today?

Yes.
I'll go to the shop and come back.

Then come fast.
The match will be over soon.

Okay.
I'll be right back.

Brother, two sip-ups.

Sachin has come with the bat early
in the morning itself, huh?

Yeah!
I should hit a sixer, right?

Hit it out of the park!

Don't bother about anything else!
Hit it!

Brother, give me a cigarette.

Can't you see that I'm writing this?

Make it fast.
- Why are you in such a hurry today?

Well, at Prakashan's house...

The reception is today.
So they need a generator.

When I called Babuettan,
he said he's going somewhere.

So I thought I'll
take it right away.

Shall I go?
I've no time! Add it to my tab!

Your tab book is
about to overflow.

I'm also coming to
my uncle's house.

Hold it.
Careful.

Is it heavy?
- Of course.

It's really heavy.

Careful.

Open the boot.
- Okay.

Close it.

Okay. See you.

We'll be back only after 2 days.

Once you're done with it,
keep it back here.

Okay.
I'll keep it.

Can't you buy a good car
instead of this piece of junk?

Okay then!

Bye.
- See you.

Bye.

You were standing here?

Hey! I've bought a new mobile.

We need to set certain
things on it.

Come inside.

This is the phone.
Set a new password for it.

This phone is awesome!

I'll set it right away.

Do you want a pattern
or a number lock?

Number lock is fine.

Number lock?
- Yes.

Set a number that
I can remember.

It's easy.

2-0-0-8.

Otherwise I'd forget that.

So will you give
me your old phone?

Hey! You said that we'll
leave at 9.30 AM.

It's 10 AM now.

Will you be ready anytime soon?

You...

You keep all this upstairs.

Jithu, did you have tea?

Tell your mom that we'll be
back only after 2 days, okay?

Uncle, I'm leaving.
- Okay.

Jithuetta, will you join
us to play hide & seek?

Jithuetta, will you join
us to play hide & seek?

This is the first time I'm coming
back half-way from a tour.

Don't ever call me for
a tour, ever again.

Did you hear me?
- It's because I got an urgent call!

I should throw that phone
of yours away, first.

Damn phone.
- What about the fund?

Arrange it quickly, dude.

We cancelled the tour
and came back home.

Do something, man.

isn't it better if we repay
it as soon as possible?

Aunt!

Aunt!

Aunt!

Over here!

Aunt!

Over here!

Aunt!

Inside the cupboard!

Aunt!

Over here.

Aunt!

Inside the cupboard!

How did it come there?

Aunt!

Inside the cupboard!

Aunt!

Inside the cupboard!

Aunt!

Aunt!

Aunt!

Raji...

Raji...
- Yes.

Did you see Jithu?
- No.

What about Kuttu? - He left early
saying that he's going to play.

These kids are always thinking
about playing. - True.

Here he comes.

Now, to relax after his game,
he'll watch TV for a while.

It would be at least 7.30 PM
for him to open his books.

It's the same there too.

That boy can't remain calm until
he gets shouted at by Manojettan.

Son, did you see Jithu?

Jithu said he'll come to play...
No...

Jithu said he'll go to the shop & then
come to play, but he didn't come.

He wasn't there to play?
- No.

Where has this boy gone?

He must be roaming
around somewhere.

Let me go look for him.
- Okay.

Is it new?
- Yes. I bought it yesterday.

Is it gold?
- No. Rolled gold.

But it doesn't look so, right?
- No.

It's nice.
- Is it?

Let me go look for him.
- Okay.

Bye, son.
- Okay.

Where are you rushing
off to, Shobha?

Vasuetta, did you see Jithu?

He had come to my shop in the
morning with his cricket bat.

He left in the morning.
He hasn't come back yet.

He must be playing cricket at some ground.
- I wonder where he is.

He must be there somewhere. You check!
- Okay.

Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Where has this boy gone?

Hello!

Hello?

Hello Usha...
Can you hear me?

Hello?

Hello?

Damn it!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Hello?

Manojetta, are you
about to leave from the shop?

The thing is that...

Jithu hasn't come back home yet.

No.

I searched everywhere.

He must be playing games at
Chacko's computer shop mostly.

Can you pick him up on your
way back from the shop?

Okay then.

Hello?

Manojetta...

Hello?

Give him a dose of scolding too.
He only wants to play all the time now.

Okay.

Hey Suresh.

Did Chacko close his shop?
- Yes. He left.

What happened to your car?
- Some b******d did this.

Damn it.
- Seems like someone did it on purpose.

Manojetta, do you have
500 Rupees to spare?

I'll see you later.
- It's urgent.

Babu isn't here, right?
I'll return it tomorrow for sure.

Okay, brother.
Thanks.

But still...

Manojetta, where is Jithu?

He didn't come back yet?

He wasn't there at the junction.
- No?

At the computer shop?
- No.

The shop is closed.

Manojetta, he left in the morning.
He hasn't come back yet.

Did you check at Kuttu's house?

No. He hasn't gone there.

Manojetta, I'm getting scared.
You scolded him in the morning as well.

Where did he...

Don't be scared.

Try calling his other friends.

Let me go and look for him.

Call me if he comes back.

Check if he's at the bakery.

Manojetta, Jithu
hasn't come yet?

Raji told me.

No.
I'm going to look for him.

Wait.
I'll also come.

It's okay Satheeshan.

No.
I'll also come.

Kuttu, get me that torch.

What is it at this hour, Satheeshan?
What is it, Manoj?

Joseph, had Jithu come here?

Jithu?

He hasn't come this way.
What's the matter?

Well, he hasn't
come back home yet.

Oh no!

It's okay.
He might have come back now.

Wait.
I'll also come.

It's okay.
We will search.

Call me if something comes up.

No.
I looked there too.

Did you check behind our house?

Check once again.

Okay.
I'll call you.

Yes.
Satheeshan is with me.

Manoj...

Did anyone come to your house
this morning to sell anything?

We can't trust anyone.

The times are such!

Satheeshan, come.

Did you inform the police station?
- Yes.

There's no point
in informing them.

We'll search at the bus stand.
The boys will search here.

On the way, search at the
pond and the river too.

Okay.

Manojetta, stop.

Joseph is calling.

Joseph, one minute.

Hello?

Hello?
Yes! I can hear you.

Okay.

What is it?

His son saw at Jithu at Kavumpuram
while he was playing in the morning.

He left pretty soon
as well, apparently.

Jithu, you passed
in just two exams?

Just two?
- Then get up and go!

Go inside! If you don't tell me
about the progress card ever again...

Manojetta!

Shall we enquire at his friends' houses?

Come.
Let's go once again and check.

Careful.

Where has he gone?

Manojetta, you get down.
I'll ride the bike.

Jithu!

Oh my God!

Hello?

Hello Babuetta!

I've brought that generator back.

Is it okay if I keep it
in front of the house?

But it's locked, right?

Where is the key then?

Just a second.
Let me check.

Yes, I got it.

Okay.
I'll keep this inside then.

Okay then.
Bye.

Where are you going now?
- Our Jithu is missing.

Our Jithu has been
missing for a while.

Did you see him anywhere?
- No.

Didn't you enquire at
his friends' houses?

He's not there.

He's not there?

Come, let's go.

Just a second.
Babuettan is calling.

Hello?

Yes, Babuetta...

Yes. I've kept it.

I've kept the key
under the doormat.

And yeah...
Hello?

Our Jithu has been
missing since evening.

Yes. Manojettan is here.

Yes, I'll put him on.
It's Babuettan.

Yes.

No. He left to play,
in the morning.

No! No! You don't
have to come back.

I've informed the police.

Yes, I'll let you know.

Come, let's go.

Let me know!

Did you get any
information, Satheeshetta?

We checked everywhere
he could have gone.

You don't worry like this.

We've informed the
police, right?

Or else, wait and watch.
He will come tomorrow morning.

This is just to scare us.

I've also done stuff like this
during childhood, out of rage.

Kids, right?

Shall we leave then?

We'll come tomorrow morning.

Call me if you need anything.

I shouldn't have gotten angry
at him in the morning.

When have you not
gotten angry at him?

You vent out your ego against
everyone else, on him!

Am I venting my anger on him?

It was for him to get rid of
his mischief and carelessness,

and to grow up smart!

Do you think he will become smart,

if you get shout at him
whenever he opens his mouth?

He's getting worse!

My son!

It's not all that.

Why do you have so much ego
against your younger brother?

Isn't he the only one we have, to seek
help from, when we have a problem?

Look! Look at Satheeshan!

Wasn't he with you all this while?

They stay right next door!

Have you ever talked to him?

Have you ever smiled at him?

Have you even looked at him?

And when we were in need,
only they were there to help us!

Why do you do this, Manojetta?

Whom are you showing all this anger to?

Where has my son gone?

Hello.

Hello, Chetta?

Any information about Jithu?

No.

Why don't you check in the
premises of my house?

There's no place left
here to look for him.

Before we left yesterday, the kids
were playing near the well yesterday.

I told them not to play over there.

But still, we shouldn't let
that doubt remain, right?

Not because something
would have happened.

But still, why don't you...

What?

What is it, Manojetta?

Hey Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Hey Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Is he there, Kuttu?

No. He's not here.

Come.

Jithu!

Jithu!

Jithu!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Don't cry, Shobha.
We'll find him.

Where is my son?

Don't cry.

Jithu!

Jithu!

I think Jithu is over here.

Shobha! Shobha!

Satheeshan! Satheeshan!

hidden behind me.
