Varathan (2018) - full transcript

After losing his job Abin along with his wife Priya, who has suffered a miscarriage, decide to shift from Dubai to Priya's family estate in Kerala. However, peace eludes the couple as they run into a set of new troubles.

George, I'm really confident
about this project.

We can finish it in
two months' time.

This is its initial design.

Have your coffee, pal.

Abin, actually we can't continue
with this project.

Our company is going
through its worst phase.

I don't think our company
will get such a big project

in the near future.

Above all,
you're really talented

and you've years of experience
working in Dubai.

Actually



you're way too
qualified and talented

for us to afford you any more.
That's the truth.

Do you want to say something?
- No.. Absolutely no.

I think this is the right time.

You've enough contacts
in this city, right?

I'm really tired
and I want to leave this job.

Even I want a break.

There is a reason.
Priya is pregnant.

Really? That's good news.
Congratulations, pal!

So, things are working out.
- Yes. I guess..

It was a pleasure.

Anyway, George,
you've been wonderful.

You needn't hurry.
Finish your coffee, pal.

No, I'll just meet everyone.



I'll inform all of them.
And have a smoke..

Sorry about this.

No.. Absolutely no.

Thank you, George.

It's been a pleasure.
- Same here.

Let me walk you out.
- Yes.

Can I take this? My phone..
- Yes.

'Smoking is injurious to health.'

Hello.
- 'Abin.' - Yes.

'Have you started
from the office?'

No, we had a board meeting
today morning.

'Okay, I'll go along
with Shantha.'

'Call me when
you leave the office.'

Okay.

Why did you bring a gift?

How was the presentation?

Well, that didn't work out.

The client backed off
at the last moment.

What happened then?

The board is really confused

as the company
doesn't have any new projects.

I mean, about my job.

Did you buy this stuff
to break the news to me?

No. I bought it on a whim.

I'm fine, dear.

I'll be with you hereafter.

You need rest at this stage.

Abin.

I met the doctor
along with Shantha.

They couldn't hear the heartbeat
during the scan.

They said, 'There is no hope.'

Why didn't you inform me?

You were in the office
handling your presentation.

I didn't want
to make you upset.

Are you all right?

It was not planned anyway.

It happened accidentally.

Maybe, it's not the right time.

We at least understood
that we can become parents.

Abin, get up. Let's eat out.

Do you really want to go out?

Abin, don't be so boring.

I'll get ready soon.

Do you remember
our first drive?

It was to Mamzar, right?

With the IBM gang.
- Yes.

I miss that.

I really miss those days, Abin.

"You are the synonym of love."

"You're the truth
that I'm looking for."

"You're a budding flower which
would slowly blossom in me."

"I saw her
in the morning twilight."

"She was as beautiful
as the moonlight."

"I heard your voice
during a hot summer"

"and it comforted me.."

"Oh, love! I'm preparing myself"

"to be yours."

"I'm trying to find you"

"as I want to be
a part of your life."

"I waited for so long.."

"I waited.."

"To see my reflection in you."

"You're the synonym of love."

"You're the truth
that I'm looking for."

"You're a budding flower which
would slowly blossom in me."

"You're as beautiful
as a poem."

"You're the fire of my life."

"You're the song which I
desperately want to sing."

Thank you.

I called up my mom soon
after I left the hospital.

Did you divulge it to her?

No, I just called her up
to hear her voice.

Good. Had she got to know
about it, she would've panicked.

Abin, shall we leave
this city for a while?

What happened?

I'm really tired of this place.

The same feeling that I'd when
I went to school on Mondays.

You never studied
in a boarding school, right?

Every day was like
Monday for me.

That's not it, Abin.

Why are we staying here needlessly
paying a huge rent?

I could meet my mom and my sister
if we're in our home town.

You could also go to Bangalore and
spend some time with your brother.

What about your job?

Not an issue.

I can work from home

as I'd applied for it
because of my pregnancy.

I just need a laptop
and a Wi-Fi connection.

That's one of the few advantages
of working in this field.

Isn't it better to launch your
start-up at our home town?

You know about start-ups, right?

There is very less chance
that it will succeed.

It's okay, Abin.
Take your time.

It's your long-time dream, right?

You haven't seen dad's plantation
at Eighteenth Mile, right?

You'll love it.

It will also be a change for us.

Let's go and stay there.

It would be better than eating
the organic food of this city.

It's a good idea.

Won't you miss Dubai?

We'll come back
if we miss this place.

Really?

Do you want to smoke
yourself to death or what?

'Attention, please.'

'Venus Airlines Flight IC 367..'
- 'VARATHAN'

'...from Dubai to Kochi
is ready for take-off.'

'On behalf of the captain'

'and rest of the crew,
we welcome you on-board.'

'If you need anything'

'please let us know.'

'Until then sit back, relax'

'and enjoy this flight.'

'Sit back, relax'

'and enjoy this flight.'

'Sit back, relax
and enjoy this flight.'

'Attention, please.'

'Attention, please.'

'Sit back, relax'

'and enjoy this flight.'

Mister, is there no rain?

Not really.

Dear, why don't you stay here
for a few days before leaving?

No way.

Why? - Mom, we'll be here
for a while.

We'll visit you next weekend.

Hey! Set the table

instead of eating
all the 'Papads'.

Kurian hasn't visited you guys
for a long time, right?

He was here
just a few days ago.

He has to retire after
one and a half years.

The service
can be extended, right?

What's the point
in extending the service?

Getting a job after
retiring from the Air Force

at the age of 48
is very difficult.

Kurian will surely get a job.

As if you've a job
to offer him.

Even youngsters are
struggling to get a job. - No.

Abin, pass me that curry.

Government servants get pension
after retirement. - Mom.

What is your plan, Abin?
- Mom.

I'm planning to launch
a start-up. - Mom.

What is that?
Private or government sector?

What kind of a question is that,
Mom?

I'll bring the glasses.

Abin, eat.

Did mother-in-law go to bed?
- Yes.

Mom is becoming
more practical with age.

She struggled a lot
to bring us up

after my dad's demise.

Don't take that seriously.

It's all right, dear.

She will be concerned
about her daughters' life.

Let's leave early morning.
Maria has let us borrow her car.

Come here on weekends.
- Yes..

Have you saved Mr. Benny's
contact number? - Yes.

I've told him to get you the
internet and the gas connections.

Abin, he is a little annoying,
but be in good terms with him.

He is useful.
- Shut up.

He is an innocent guy.
You can trust him.

But he is slightly into politics.

That's all.

He has all the bad qualities
that come with it.

Since you guys will be there,
keep an eye on everything.

Okay, Mother-in-law. See you.
- Bye. - Maria. - See you.

Inform Kunjumol
once she is awake.

I'll surely visit you next week.

Go.

The 'Appam' and stew
she prepared was delicious.

Really? You should've
told this to mom

instead of telling me.

She might have understood.
I ate a lot.

But you could've told her.

Why did you get inside
the car so soon?

You could've held her hand
and said goodbye.

I am not good at
following such etiquettes.

Okay.
I know that.

Leave my hand. Let me drive.

I won't.

Sir, can you please drop him
at Eighteenth Mile?

He has an examination. There
is no bus service at this time.

Can you please drop him
at the school?

Yes.. Get in..

Okay.

Which exam are you taking today?

Mathematics.

Sir, can you please stop the car?

Why?
- I want to get down here.

What time is your exam?
- Mathematics.

You asked about the subject, right?
- Yes, it's mathematics!

Okay, sir.

Kids of this generation
are clear about everything.

Mathematics.

Sir, two cups of tea.

Do you want cut cakes?

One is enough.
We'll share it.

Sir, one cut cake.

Where are you heading to, sir?
- Are you going to the resort?

No. To a nearby place. Palathingal.

I see. DFO Paul's place.

You work in the Air Force, right?
- No, I work in Dubai.

Priya.

You didn't recognise me, right?

Your mother and sister
still live in Kochi, right?

Yes..

Hello. - Yes.
- Rs. 27.

Take Rs. 30.

Okay.

Sir, the change..
- That's okay..

Some people are keen
on ruining our culture.

I wish I was born in this age.

'Gents' Beauty Parlour.'

Greetings, sir.
Hi, Ms. Priya.

Sir, please get off.
Let me park the car.

It's okay.

Well, it's something else.
It's an old water service setup.

The car will fall into that drain
if not parked correctly.

Shall I try?

Okay.

It seems he is really adventurous.

Was your journey fine?
- It was good.

How is your mother?
- She is fine.

Do you remember
that vehicle?

Of course.

Dad used to drop me
at school on it.

It works fine even now.

It's perfect for short trips.

Really?
- Those two.

Sir, I'm Benny.
- Abin.

Sir, let me carry it.
- No. It's okay..

Murugan, take all the luggage.
- What?

Keep that inside.
- It's okay. Keep it there.

Sir, this is Murugan.

Murugan is versatile.

Where are you from?

A place near Theni.
- Okay.

Take it.

Abin, is the internet
connection working?

It will surely work.
He is good at this.

I'm able to connect
and its speed is good.

So, shall we leave?

Sir, let us take your leave.
- Okay. - Okay, see you tomorrow.

Okay.
- Mr. Benny

don't you drink?

Sir, I'm fasting. I don't drink
at this time of the year.

Sorry.. I forgot that.

Sir, please give it as it's the
first thing that you've offered me.

I can drink it once the
fast ends. Right, ma'am?

'Alcohol consumption
is injurious to health.'

Okay. - Okay. - Bye.

Bye, sir.
- Okay. See you tomorrow.

Abin, bring the suitcases as well.
- Okay.

My grandpa bought this
property from this man.

This is my grandpa.

Mr. Varghese Paul.

He was an advisor of the
British magistrate of this town.

This is my father-in-law, right?

Mr. Paul was really handsome!

Right?

Abin.

You look great!

These are night-vision goggles.

That's my grandpa's.
- Okay.

Hero pen.

It's exactly like a villain's
den from an 80s movie!

Cockroach..

Hey..
Don't kill it..

Why did you kill it?

Then? Should I've made
it my pet or what?

You shouldn't have killed it.
It would've lived somewhere.

I don't want it
to live in my house.

This is my dad's biogas set-up.

Nice. Mr. Paul was some man!

Yes, but this set-up was a flop.

Oh, God! It's so noisy.

It's the sound of male crickets.

Who said so?
- My dad used to say that.

Oh!

Why do they make this sound?

To attract female crickets.

Really?

They will never get attracted.

'Bible.'

Abin.

Abin.

Abin.

Abin.

Abin.
- Good morning.

Didn't you sleep?
- I woke up early.

It has been so long
since we sat together like this.

We've enough time to do it now.

My mom and dad
used to drink coffee here.

Is it?

Abin. What are you thinking?

I was thinking that I don't have

many nostalgic
experiences to share.

What do you call it?

Reminiscence.
- Oh, God!

It's so tough to pronounce.
How can we feel it then!

"We're turning into new seasons"

"which add"

"new dimensions to dreams."

"The gentle breeze
which is embraced"

"by the mountain
is blending with our tune."

"Love is falling on us
like dew drops."

"The eyes are sparkling."

I studied from eighth grade
to twelfth grade in this school.

Really?
- Yes.

We shifted to Kochi
after dad's demise.

Good morning, Sister?
- Where is your classroom?

Well.. It's there.

This is a new block.

You're Priya Paul, right?
- Yes..

How are you, dear?

I'm fine.
This is Abin.

How are you, Sister?
- I'm fine.

She has read all the books
in this library.

What you said is right.
She has a great memory.

She said your name
after just one glance.

It's not that
she remembers everyone.

She remembers me
as I was her favourite student.

Oh! Okay.
- Really.

Okay.

Really.
- I believe you.

Give it to me.

Shall I get two
cut cakes for you?

No. It seems you could start
a fans' association here!

Abin, look at that guy.

He ogles women.

It's difficult
to even walk close to him.

My sister and I used to
refer to him as 'Chameleon'.

Why? - He used to make us feel
really uncomfortable.

Hey.
She is Lilly's youngest daughter.

Maria's younger sister.

She is more gorgeous
than her mother and sister.

He is really lucky.

Even when my parents' moved here,
he used to sit there like this.

She is Maria's sister.

Priya Paul. Class 12 B.

Are you tired?
- A bit.

Take rest for a while.
- Okay.

Mr. Benny is already here.

Mr. Benny.

Good morning.
- Good morning..

Where did you guys go?
- For a walk.

I thought of selling
all the pepper we have.

I see.

How much is its selling price?
- Nothing substantial.

The business is dull.
No one really wants it.

After paying the labourers,
we won't have anything left.

Our effort goes in vain.

Murugan, bring everything
that's kept there. - Yes.

They..

I told them to supply a bottle
of milk twice a day.

It's good quality milk, sir.

They have good quality cows.

They live nearby.
They are poor people.

Did you recognise them?
- Was it for them?

How was your examination?

He always says
that it was average.

Give the bottle to him.

What's your name?
- Preman.

Preman.

Shall we leave, sir?

Sir.

How do you know them?

Mr. Benny, even we know
a few people of this village.

What do you want,
coffee or tea?

Tea.

You're lucky, Ms. Priya.
He is really caring.

How are your wife and kids?

Yes. Raechel's examinations
are going on.

So, my wife and my daughter
are always in the church.

I see.

Parunthumpara is not like
how it was before.

It got renovated. Tiles were laid.
The place is worth watching.

Visit the place
someday with Mr. Abin.

You made the tea
so quickly.

Here you go.

Shall I also go sell the pepper?

You guys have come here
to take rest.

Why do you want to do it?

That's okay, sir.

It's good to know about all that.
- That's right.

Do one thing.
Get ready quickly, sir.

Shall I finish my tea first?
- Sure.

Sir, are you looking
for a job here?

I have to.
I'll do that after a while.

If you want a servant
to do the household chores

I'll inform Preman's mother.

No, we can manage it.

Sir, please pull over.
- Okay.

He has come.

Did all the cement sacks arrive?

Yes, we've unloaded it.
- Is it? - Yes.

I'll just go to the town
and come back. - Okay.

What building is that?

The new information centre.

No one can do anything wrong
in this town once it's ready.

We can keep an eye
on everything from there.

What could possibly happen here?

You can't even begin to imagine.

The other day,
a guy took his wife to the hill

and pushed her down the cliff.

He murdered her.

He then filed a complaint
to the police

that his wife is missing.

The police searched the vicinity.

They found nothing except
a pig's skeleton.

That's about it.

What happened next?

Isn't it obvious?

He escaped
by bribing the police.

Strangers come here
and commit such crimes.

We're the ones who suffer.

Don't you understand, sir?
It's simple as that.

I am getting a hang of things.

72 multiplied by 456

is equal to 30,080.

We'd learned that

72 multiplied by 456
is equal to 32,832.

Calculate once again. - 72
multiplied by 456 is equal to..

He is right. 32,832.

How could you make a mistake
while using a calculator?

That's because of this cold
and cosy weather.

It doesn't work properly
during winter, right?

Mr. Benny, let's go.

Isn't this the whole amount?
I'll count. - Okay.

He is our regular buyer.

Is Mr. Benny here?

Who are you?

Jithin.

Contractor Pappalli sent me here.

Mr. Benny is not here.
He has gone out.

Contractor Pappalli
has asked

Mr. Benny to come there.

I'll inform him.

Do you want one?
- No.

Or else give me one.

I'll give it to my friend.

Foreign cigarettes
are really expensive here.

She might have fallen asleep.

Priya.

She'd have fallen asleep.
- Maybe..

Priya.

Sorry.. I was attending
a client's call.

Here is the money that
we got by selling pepper.

I needn't go to Kochi
for giving this.

Yes, you can give it to me.

Shall I leave, sir?
- Okay.

Sir. - Yes.
- Someone called Pappalli sent

a guy to inform you that he
wanted to meet you.

He has taken our land on
lease for agriculture.

I'll meet him tomorrow.
Okay, sir.

Can I come with you?
- Okay.

Okay, see you tomorrow.

Wow!

Nice.

Happy anniversary.

Happy anniversary to us.

Four years.

So, one.. Two..

Let me arrange the rest.

Three.. Four..

I had called up Thomas.

I explained to him the basic plan
of my start-up. - Really?

What did he say?
- He is a little busy.

He said that we could
discuss once he is free.

It's okay to wait for a good
designer like him.

Abin, take enough time
to do it.

Everything else is fine.

Thank you.

Hold this.

Do you know
which couple lived together

for the most number of years?

Who are they?
- Shoshama Thomas

and Philipose Thomas.

Are they from Kerala?
- Yes. They were from Kottayam.

Shoshama was 12
and Philipose was 13 years old

when they got married.

They lived together for 90 years.

Let's hit a century then.
- Sure.

To Shoshama.
- And Philipose.

And to our happiness.
- Happiness.

Blow it.
- Together.

Yes.

One.. Two..

Three.

Abin, someone is standing there.

What?
- Someone is standing there.

There is no one here.

I saw someone
near the window.

It must have been a dream.

Come, let's sleep.

Come.

'Wear helmets while riding
motorcycles.'

Sir

the man who is sitting
on the wall and drinking

is Contractor
Kuriachan's brother-in-law, Baby.

He is in the army and he is
a heavy drinker. He is on leave.

The other guy is Kuriachan's
second brother, Peter.

He is single.

Did you notice that bodybuilder?

He is the youngest.
His name is Kunjimon.

He is short-tempered and reckless.

That man who is wearing eyeglasses
is the contractor's father.

They shifted to this place
during his dad's time.

I see. - Did you notice
that guy standing near

the jeep wearing trousers?
He is the contractor's son, Johnny.

The guy who is standing next
to him is Jithin.

He sticks around here.
He is a nobody.

Don't be afraid.
Come this way, sir.

He is the contractor..

He took all the land good for
farming, in this village, on lease.

Don't be afraid.. Come.

It won't hurt you.

This is Mr. Paul's youngest
daughter's husband.

Abin.
- Abin.

Did the dog scare you?
- Well..

He got a bit terrified.
- I was wondering

who the stranger
accompanying Benny was.

If you're terrified of him now

what would you do if he breaks
the chain and runs at you?

Dear, bring that packet
inside my table's drawer.

Okay, Dad.

Who is that?

It's me, sir.
Benny from Parakudi.

Hey!

There are gorgeous women there.

It's useless talking to you.

You've never seen
gorgeous women.

You've only seen the ordinary
women of this town.

I'll manage with that,
Brother-in-law.

Whatever.

Kunjimon, give us company.

No.
- Exercise well.

Give that to him.

You're in the tenth grade, right?
- Yes.

Sandra, right?

Dad, I'm leaving.
- Okay.

Did your elder daughter return
after completing her education?

Jessy has gone to attend
the pre-marriage course.

What's the point
in educating girls?

Mom, I'm leaving.

Shall we leave?
- Carry on with your work.

Okay.
- Bye. - Okay.

Who is that?
- He is her husband.

She looks gorgeous now.

He is that military man's son.
His name is Josy.

He runs
a textiles shop in the town.

Did I scare you?

When did you come?
- Just a while ago.

Sweets that were bought
for Jessy's bride seeing ceremony.

I had some already.

Priya?

Why do you do chores
that you shouldn't?

Give that to me.

Come and watch me
if you want to.

He is in
an awful situation, isn't he?

Not really. He is happy.

I'm bothered about Priya.

Hope he is taking
good care of her.

It's obvious from his smile
that he is good-for-nothing.

You have started drinking
so early in the day.

Jithin, can't you do some work?

Come, Sabu.

I think the yams
are ready for harvest.

Whenever she smiles like this

I remember our tour
to Ooty from school.

Haven't I told you about it?
- Yes.

I've a start-up conference.

You can narrate that even now.

It'll be fun listening
to it in this mood watching her.

He is right.
Narrate that story, Mr. Josy.

I spoke with her
for the first time

during our tour to Ooty.
We were in the twelfth grade then.

I was afraid
of talking to her before that.

She was really studious.

All of us, who sat
at the back, were drunk.

She came and sat near
my seat at night

and asked me something.

'Could you please
close the window?'

That made me really nervous.

I was free from intoxication.

I asked if she was feeling cold.

She replied that the cold wind

would make her vomit.

I lied to her that my mom had
told me a remedy to it.

I asked her to keep a finger
on her belly button

for she wouldn't
feel nauseous anymore.

Pour me another drink.

Abin, turn it inside out.

Not like that.
Turn it inside out.

Turn it inside out?
- Yes.

Turn its inner surface outside?
- Yes.

Does that matter?

Yes, it won't
pill if it's hung like this.

Oh! Technicalities.
- Yes.

Tell us the rest.

She fell asleep while we were
moving downhill.

I had gone crazy
as she came and talked to me

and I was looking at her.

I kept my hand
on her abdomen

when I felt
that she was going to vomit.

She kept her hand over mine.

I tried to take away my hand.

But she held my hand
tight to her abdomen.

Until we completed the descend..

"I want to shelter you."

"But with the beast inside"

"there is nowhere we can hide."
- Abin.

"No matter what.."

What is it?

Few of my clothes are missing.

It will be there somewhere.

Abin, I looked everywhere,
but I couldn't find it.

Where can it be?

Abin, it's my undergarments
that have gone missing.

Where can it be?

Abin, I don't find this funny.

I'm sorry.

'So, I shifted people
to the valleys'

'located behind the wall.'

'I kept the natives safe'

'with the help of my weapons.'

'I stood up and spoke
to the rich men'

'and the commoners.'

'You need not be afraid of them.'

'He told us to fight for the
well-being of our brothers'

'sons, daughters, wives and houses
by keeping in our mind'

'that Jesus Christ
is powerful and supreme.'

'Let's pray'

'to the Almighty.'

'Oh, Jesus!'

'We pray to You.'

'Oh, Lord! Please protect us.'

'We pray to You..'

'Oh, Lord! Please protect us..'

Is duck meat available here?

How come you crave
duck meat all of a sudden?

In the past

when I used to visit my hometown,
mom used to prepare

'Appam'
and seasoned duck curry.

It was really delicious.
That's my brother's favourite.

Shall we go to Bangalore
and stay there for a few days?

Brother keeps on calling me.

Let's first sort out
everything here.

Okay.

I'll ask Mr. Benny
about the duck meat.

It may not be as delicious
as your mother's preparation.

But I'll try.

Abin.
- Yes.

Abin.
- What happened?

Abin.. A guy is standing there.
- Who is it?

He is looking through the window.

That's a scarecrow.

Can you please go and look?

Don't shout.

Abin.. What happened?

What happened?

Did you see the tape
which I had kept here?

Abin, what happened?

Abin, what are you taking?

He is working there.

The issue will be resolved
once we close that window.

W-When will you be free next week?

Let's do it that way then.

Then.. Hello..

Who was it?
- Thomas. He is my friend.

He is your classmate, right?

We were colleagues.
He is from Kottayam.

You can use my
mobile phone if it is urgent.

No, it's all right.
- Its network is fine everywhere.

Why is there a crowd?
- Let's find out.. - What!

Pull over.

Don't lie.

Shut up.
- We've to leave immediately.

I'll be right back.
Just a minute, sir.

I didn't do anything, sir.
We were just talking.

What's your relationship
with her? - Tell us.

You can't leave from here.

Josy, what happened?
- Ask him.

What's your relationship
with her?

Let me ask.. - Sir..
- What is it?

My friend and I were having
a conversation inside the car.

Do you think I'd buy it?

She isn't his friend.
- It's his girlfriend. Look at her.

This is his so-called friend.
- Lower the window..

Let me see the friend.

You can't leave from here.
- This is his friend. - You won't.

What was the conversation
all about?

Let me explain.

They've been here for a while and
their behaviour was inappropriate.

He was the one who
noticed it first.

Sir. - Where is your hometown..
- It's nearby. - Where exactly?

Pala..

Pala..

Sir, please don't
trouble me. Please..

How dare you..

Josy, what's the matter?

They were
snogging in the car.

Oh, no!
- Stand up.

Get over here.
- Oh, God!

Leave him be.
- Don't hurt me.

Jithin! - Let go of me, Mr. Benny.
- Listen to me. I'll fix this.

I will.
- Mister..

Just calm down.

You need not interfere
in this matter, Benny.

Josy, let me talk.

Sir, please don't hit me.
Come here.

Sir, it's nothing.
We came here just to talk.

They unnecessarily created a scene.

Let me tell you something.
You'd not want to mess with them.

Don't take things
from bad to worse.

Sir, if you suspect me,
please call the police.

Let them resolve the issue.
- Mister

it will take them at least
two hours to reach here.

Are you going to make her
stay here until then?

Give them some money
and solve this issue.

I'll give you anything.
Please help me leave from here.

Give me the money that you've.
I'll handle the rest.

I don't have much money, sir.

Give me whatever you've.

Handle the issue yourself
with this money.

This is all I've got.

I don't even
have money for fuel.

Don't you dare come
here ever again!

Do you get me?
- I won't come. - Go.

Can I go?
- Yes.

Get lost!

Here you go.

Go.
- Go.

Leave.

Y-You must pay me as I
noticed it first. - Here you go.

That's how it should be, right?

W-What? This is very less.

It's a meagre amount.
- Get lost.. - You!

Get lost!

Don't you dare come here again!

She is not letting me record
a proper video.

You will get hit by the car. Move!

Such scoundrels show up here.

I felt sorry for her.

Else, I'd not have let him
get away with it.

Mr. Benny, God created
all these forests and mountains

for human beings.

Sir, you're so philosophical.

It's a verse
from the Bible.

Do you remember me, Priya Paul?

I studied in the class, 12 B.
My name is Josy K Baby.

I see.

When did you arrive?
- A week ago.

I see.
What does your husband do?

He was working
for an IT firm in Dubai.

IT industry is in decline, right?

I saw him on the way.

What do you do?

I run a textiles shop
in the town.

My family has farmed all this land.
- All right.

I'm coming.

Okay. Let me go inside.
I've some work to do.

Oh. You can contact me
if you need any help.

Sure.
- I'll be nearby.

Shall I give you
my contact number?

Let me.

You can call me up
if you need any help.

Okay. Thank you.

How did it go?
- She took my contact number.

She will surely call you.

She might be taking a shower.

Hey!
You should not ogle her.

If you're serious about her,
we won't ogle her.

Johnny, haven't I
fulfilled all your wishes?

I'll always do.

You're incredible, Josy!

"Oh, my love!"

"This song is for you."

"Oh, my love.."

"A song from my heart.."

"Oh, beloved! You touched"

"my heart."

"You touched"

"my heart."

"Thankamma,
you eloped with a stranger.."

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Thankamma.."

What happened?
- Abin, can't you hear it?

"You eloped with a stranger..
Are you satisfied.."

Use this.

It's not just that.

How dare they step into our land
and ruin our peace of mind?

Dear, this is a village.

People work till evening.

They then have a couple
of drinks and sing folk songs.

That gives them happiness.

This is not a folk song.

They are singing it to annoy me.

I can't tolerate it any more!

"Thankamma.."

"Thankamma, you
eloped with a stranger."

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Thankamma, you
eloped with a stranger."

"Are you satisfied now?"

Hey, stop it..

He is coming here.

Sir, be careful.

What's the matter?

Could you please stop singing?

My wife and I are working.
- He is unable to work!

Hey.. Shut up.

They are youngsters.
Just ignore them.

You could've said this from there.
You needn't have come here.

It's all right.

My wife has some health issues.

No, sir.
We won't sing anymore.

We have stopped.
- Okay. - Okay.

There will soon be
a wedding in the family.

That's why. Pour a drink for him.
- No..

Why? Don't you drink?

I..
- Have a drink before you leave.

I.. - Have it.
- Have it for us.

Say, 'Cheers', sir.

Cheers.

Would you like to have some more?
- No. This is enough.. Okay.

Thank you..

Poor guy.

They got a bit carried away
with the wedding celebration.

So..

Did you drink?

Just one shot.

Why did you drink with them?

Abin, this isn't
Bangalore or Dubai.

You've no clue
about their character.

They stopped singing
when we asked them to.

So, when they offered me a drink,
I didn't feel like rejecting it.

What's wrong in that?

There is nothing wrong, Abin..
- Talk to me.

Talking to you is pointless.

Whatever!

Where is your mother?
- She has gone to work, sir.

How is Sandra?

I saw her
at Contractor Pappalli's house.

It's going on.

You're blushing!

Was yours a love marriage?
- What!

Was yours a love marriage?

Yes. It happened.

Okay, sir. I'm leaving.
I've to attend the class.

Are you really
going to the class?

Yes..

Priya!

What are you doing?

Step back.
- Move aside. Priya!

Whose mobile phone is this?

Whose mobile phone is this?

I got this from the bathroom.

Bathroom?
Who would keep it there?

Priya.

Hey, what are you doing? Get up.

Move aside, Abin.

I've no peace of mind
since I came here.

What are you looking for?

Whom are you calling up?
- Abin, just a minute.

Just a minute, Abin.

This is Josy's mobile phone.

Abin, I know them
since my school days.

They are scoundrels!

I know how to handle it.
- Hey, what are you doing?

Abin..
- Sit here.

Let us calmly talk and decide.

None of them should enter
our property hereafter.

We're cancelling the contract.

Abin, I don't want to feel so
scared in my own house.

I can't even use
the bathroom peacefully.

Relax.

I'll talk to them.

It might be a misunderstanding.

Josy.
- Yes.

Is this your mobile phone?
- Yes.

How did this break?

I'd given it to Biju
for repairing its display.

Who broke it?

What's the issue, Uncle?
- Go inside.

Eat something
and go to the church.

I shouldn't have given
it to a moron like him.

I told you, right?

Our boys won't do that.

You brat!
- What is it?

I'm sure.
- What!

You'd kept the phone there.

Show it to me as well.

Hey..

Just leave it be.

As for the contract

you can't cancel
it just like that.

Definitely not for
such trivial issues.

But I'll warn the boys
to not trouble you

when they enter your property.

Isn't that enough?

You may please leave, sir.

The wedding is on the horizon.

We're busy making
its arrangements.

And one more thing, sir.

This is a village.

It has its own rules.

Your wife and you should
keep that in mind.

All right then.

You're leaving, right?

How long is your leave, Mr. Baby?

Were the problems of
the area sorted out?

No, not at all.

We can resolve all the issues if
we're given complete freedom

for two days.

What's the matter,
Brother-in-law?

Some people are keen on
wasting others' time.

Abin, what happened?

That was just a confusion.

He had given his
mobile phone for repair.

Abin, I've got no confusion
regarding this.

Abin, don't be so naive.

It wasn't the right time to talk

even if he were responsible.

They were busy with the wedding
of his eldest daughter.

Sandra's elder sister's wedding.

You need not do anything, Abin.

You haven't understood it.

I explained everything
to the contractor.

He promised me that
they won't trouble us.

Abin, I'm not interested
in listening to this.

Why are you worrying so much?

We could always
approach the police.

If they trouble us anymore,
we'll handle them legally.

Did you eat anything?

Come. Let's eat something.
Come, dear.

Shall we go for a drive
to Kottayam day after tomorrow?

Is it for meeting Thomas?

Yes, he is free.

No, Abin. I've some
urgent work to finish.

The deadline is already over.

But I won't stay here alone.

I'll go to the convent's library.

Are you sure?
- Yes.

You can go without any worries.

You guys will be
discussing business.

What will I do there?

You could've woken me up.

I didn't want to.

What would you do
waking up so early?

Am I looking fine?

Awesome.

Shall I leave?
- Okay.

How will you go
to the convent?

On my dad's scooter.
- Okay.

Call up Mr. Benny
if you need any help.

I'll call you
before I start from there.

Okay. All the best.
- Thank you. Take care.

I know that you're
angry with me.

I wanted to tell you
something personally.

There shouldn't be any
misunderstanding between us.

Okay, bye.

Ms. Priya, don't close the door.

I got to know about it
when my uncle informed me.

I'd really given that phone
for repair at Biju's shop.

Ask Johnny if you think
that I'm lying.

You should leave.
My husband is not here.

I've nothing to talk to you.

How dare you!

Didn't Josy tell you
that he is innocent?

Johnny, no.
Since Ms. Priya has said..

I've nothing to talk to you.

'Pappalli's.'

Pull over.

What happened?
- Reverse the car.

Come.
- What's the matter?

Just come.

Hey!
- J-Josy..

Josy.. Please..
- Let go of me.

Don't hit him.
- Come here.

Come here!
- Listen to me.

Josy, let go of him.

Take her. - Brother.
- Come. - You!

Brother.
- Don't beat me up, sir.

Listen to me, Brother.

Brother, stop. - You!
- Don't beat him up. - Stop..

No. Come, Johnny..
- Don't hit him, Brother.

Hey. Come here.

Come here.

Hey.. We shall deal with him
later. Come, Jithin.

Priya..

Priya.

'The number that you're trying
to reach is not responding.'

'Please try again later.'

'The number that you're trying
to reach is not responding.'

'Please try again later.'

What happened? - Nothing serious.
She met with a minor accident.

She is fine as someone
brought her here on time.

You need not worry.

Where is she?
- There.

Doctor, this is Abin.
He is her husband.

There is nothing to worry.
She just has a few minor injuries.

She is still in shock
of the accident.

She was crying profusely
to go home.

Are you done dressing
the wounds, Nurse? - Yes.

Did you get scared?

There is nothing to worry.

You can take her home
after buying these medicines.

Priya.

Priya.

What happened?

Priya.

Stop.

Don't you want the key?

Priya.

Priya.

Priya..

Priya.

Priya.

Priya.

What are you doing?

I'm talking to you.

Abin, go out.

Tell me the matter.
- For what?

I told you
umpteen number of times.

You can't do anything, Abin.
- What did I do?

You never did anything.

They know very well
that you won't react.

They are the ones who left me
in the hospital in the evening.

You won't understand the abuse

and the violence
that I had suffered today.

We can't ignore this any more.

Come. Let's go
to the police station.

We've to register
a complaint. - For what?

I don't want to be the victim
of verbal abuse as well.

There is no evidence
that I was hit by their vehicle.

No one saw them
leaving me in the hospital.

Who'd then believe me
if I say that they did it?

They will say
that I'm being delusional.

I know that no one
will be there by my side.

But deep inside.. I know
what happened to me.

Abin, don't touch me today.

I don't think I can live here
safely with you.

I don't think I'd be safe
with you anywhere.

This wouldn't have happened
to me if my dad was alive.

Priya.

Abin, please leave
me alone. Just leave.

Sir..

Who is it?

Sir..

Sir, can you take us
to the police station?

Please sit.

What happened?

Sandra and I were
talking to each other.

Mr. Josy and the others saw us.

They took her.

They thrashed me severely.

Mr. Murugan told us

that if they see him,
they won't spare him.

They are looking for him, sir.

It's them, sir.
- Go inside.

Go inside.

Why are you standing outside, sir?

Did your wife kick
you out of the house!

I just wanted
some fresh air.

Did that boy, who
supplies milk, come here?

No.

I saw him
entering your compound.

I didn't see him.

Inform us if you see him.
- Okay.

Let us take your leave.

Brother, it was obvious from his
demeanour that they were inside.

This is his slipper.

You could've dragged
him outside, right?

You brat! I've told you
not to interrupt me

while I'm talking to my brother.
Don't try to act smart!

Oh, God! Can you guys stop?

Give me some peace of mind.

I'll handle this.

Johnny, keep quiet.

Sir, let me come to the point.

Send that milkmaid
and her son with us.

He has done
something unforgivable.

I'll take them to the police
station tomorrow morning.

We can settle the issue there.
- You needn't do anything!

Don't act like you're his
father and shelter them!

Calm down.
- Brother-in-law Baby

I had asked him politely.

But he lied to me then.

Leave it be.

Sir, a wedding is going
to happen in our family.

These kinds of incidents
will defame us.

Call them.
We'll talk to him.

We didn't come here
to invite you to the wedding.

There is a proverb.

You might not have heard it.

'One must not feed a stray dog.'
- Shut up!

How dare you raise your
voice at my home!

No matter what, I won't
let you take them tonight.

I'll handle you alone.

Let's not waste time
talking to this scoundrel.

Go inside and bring them.

This is not your home to barge in
when your dad asks you to!

I won't let anyone enter
my house and take them!

Stay in that room.

Dear, don't cry.
- Don't cry.

Just shut up.

Sabu, bring a cloth immediately.

Hold his hand.

Dad, do it carefully.

Brother, we shouldn't spare him.

We must chop him into pieces!

I won't spare him
as he has injured my son.

We'll leave only
after murdering him!

Mark my words!

Break the door. - Come. - Take
all the weapons from the jeep.

Brother.

Kunjimon. Hey.

I suffered an electric shock. Drat!

There.

Brother, here you go.

Let's see how long
they could stay inside the house.

Brother-in-law,
give that to me.

Josy, disconnect the internet
and phone cable.

No one should find out
even if they die.

Sabu, come.
- Come..

You were wrong when you said
he is good-for-nothing.

They won't escape
from this house, Johnny.

Just wait and watch.

Kick it.
- You!

Hey! Open it.

Brother-in-law, what was he
doing in Dubai? - I don't know.

Josy, reverse the jeep.

Why did they come here?

I've no clue, Baby.

Don't touch the door..
You'll suffer an electric shock.

Break the door with a log.

Let's first move him.

Kunjimon, come.

Careful..

Make him sit on the sofa.

Careful..

Slowly.

Hit it with more force!

What's the matter, sir?

The police?

Yes, sir.

Don't open the door
no matter what happens outside.

Abin.
- Don't worry.

Nothing untoward will happen to us.

Close the door.

Uncle.
- Dad.

Don't spare him.

I reckon he
is a Maoist or terrorist.

You scoundrel!

Come out if you've the guts!

You..

Bring him!

You could leave.

Someone else is on
the way to take them.

Come, Brother-in-law.

Don't be scared.
Nothing bad will happen.

Hey!

Don't forget to bring
the milk in the evening.

Try entering my house.

Neither the police nor
the army could sue me.

You are unfortunate

that there are laws
that would acquit me.

"Until the fire burns out.."

"Until the pain fades away.."

"I'll always be there
with you like your shadow"

"and you'll always be there
with me like the sunlight"

"to protect each other."

"And this journey will continue."

"This world is so
desolate and violent."

"And we are trapped
in one of its cages."

"We crossed yesterday
and reached today."

"We're searching for tomorrow."

"Every breath will
become a reincarnation."

"Until the fire burns out.."

"Until the pain fades away.."

"I'll always be there
with you like your shadow"

"and you'll always be there
with me like the sunlight"

"to protect each other."

"And this journey
will continue."
