00:03:42,013 --> 00:03:45,669
"Arattupuzha Velayudha Panikkar
was an unsung renaissance hero
4
00:03:46,013 --> 00:03:50,473
who has long been
neglected by historians."
5
00:03:51,372 --> 00:03:56,338
"He waged an extraordinary struggle against
the inhumane system
6
00:03:56,363 --> 00:03:59,098
that prevailed in the 19th century."
7
00:03:59,472 --> 00:04:04,386
"This is the headquarters of the East India
Company in Travancore during that era."
8
00:04:08,544 --> 00:04:09,568
What did he say?
9
00:04:09,593 --> 00:04:12,263
He said he'll bring you anything
you ask for.
10
00:04:12,465 --> 00:04:13,489
Anything?!
11
00:04:26,162 --> 00:04:27,599
Hey, black beauty...
12
00:04:28,248 --> 00:04:29,264
Come forward.
13
00:04:30,607 --> 00:04:32,849
He's asking the pretty black woman
to come forward.
14
00:04:40,378 --> 00:04:43,404
Achu Pillai, isn't she the slave girl
who was owned by Chandu Kurup?
15
00:04:43,528 --> 00:04:45,083
Yes, the same lowbred lass.
16
00:04:45,193 --> 00:04:48,732
I bought her from Chandu Kurup
for a whopping 300 coins.
17
00:04:49,193 --> 00:04:52,021
Apparently, our Henry Sahib
from Madras, prefers black women.
18
00:04:52,046 --> 00:04:54,837
And it was none other than
Nicholas Sahib who told me this!
19
00:04:54,915 --> 00:04:55,947
Aha!
20
00:04:55,972 --> 00:05:00,393
That is why I made her shower and
be presentable to bring her here.
21
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,052
Would you look at that!
A lowbred lass who never covered
22
00:05:06,076 --> 00:05:08,077
her breasts all her life,
is now wearing a blouse!
23
00:05:10,626 --> 00:05:15,259
Well, Sir Henry is not particularly
fond of women with unclothed breasts.
24
00:05:16,092 --> 00:05:19,001
It seems he won't get aroused
if the chest is bare.
25
00:05:19,611 --> 00:05:22,017
Well! Where the hell are the wrestlers?
26
00:05:22,398 --> 00:05:25,273
I love the black-skinned macaques in duel.
27
00:05:25,830 --> 00:05:29,884
But make sure,
in the end, the winner kills the loser.
28
00:05:30,111 --> 00:05:31,159
Oh!
29
00:05:32,056 --> 00:05:33,150
What did he just say?
30
00:05:33,175 --> 00:05:35,628
He's saying that the slave wrestling
should start immediately!
31
00:05:35,853 --> 00:05:38,249
And that the winner must kill the loser!
32
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:39,320
Oh!
33
00:05:39,345 --> 00:05:41,180
-Fine! Summon them!
-Yes, right away.
34
00:05:41,345 --> 00:05:43,416
We need to keep them happy
to get our things done.
35
00:05:44,313 --> 00:05:45,352
Ready, Sahib!
36
00:05:53,166 --> 00:05:54,220
What's it?
37
00:05:54,245 --> 00:05:56,197
I am here to see Lord Kaimal.
38
00:05:56,719 --> 00:05:58,119
-Did he ask you to come here?
-Yes.
39
00:05:58,556 --> 00:06:01,009
But a chief here told me that
I won't be able to see him now.
40
00:06:01,368 --> 00:06:02,529
I came before dusk.
41
00:06:03,087 --> 00:06:05,000
-Where are you coming from?
-From Arattupuzha.
42
00:06:05,251 --> 00:06:06,522
Perumalachan told me to come.
43
00:06:06,547 --> 00:06:08,529
Oh! So you are Perumalachan's son?
44
00:06:08,636 --> 00:06:09,705
I'm his grandson.
45
00:06:09,861 --> 00:06:11,743
The lord had offered
to help me get a permit
46
00:06:11,768 --> 00:06:13,845
from Henry Sahib for exporting cardamom.
47
00:06:14,627 --> 00:06:16,080
Kaimal will be inside.
Please come.
48
00:06:18,157 --> 00:06:21,392
The lord must have taken a tidy sum
as a bribe to get you the permit.
49
00:06:21,462 --> 00:06:22,462
Am I right?
50
00:06:23,157 --> 00:06:24,493
Don't you want to meet Kaimal?
51
00:06:24,603 --> 00:06:25,697
-Come inside.
-But...
52
00:06:26,102 --> 00:06:27,765
Are people like me allowed to come in?
53
00:06:27,791 --> 00:06:29,236
Won't that be an act of desecration?
54
00:06:29,261 --> 00:06:32,149
Sahibs don't follow such customs
in their bungalows.
55
00:06:33,596 --> 00:06:36,109
Untouchability, desecration etc.,
is followed only in our land.
56
00:06:36,134 --> 00:06:37,236
You may come inside.
57
00:06:37,261 --> 00:06:38,698
Argh!
58
00:06:52,275 --> 00:06:53,479
-Come, man!
-Come on!
59
00:06:53,737 --> 00:06:54,753
Come!
60
00:06:54,886 --> 00:06:56,855
I bought him for 600 coins.
61
00:06:57,417 --> 00:07:00,284
If you don't win this duel,
I'll chop your head off!
62
00:07:02,425 --> 00:07:04,339
I bought him for 750 coins.
63
00:07:04,364 --> 00:07:07,354
He will kill the slave
and his master if needed.
64
00:07:08,605 --> 00:07:09,784
Beat him to death!
65
00:07:10,206 --> 00:07:11,307
Beat him!
66
00:07:12,628 --> 00:07:13,652
Beat him!
67
00:07:22,487 --> 00:07:23,659
Come on! Crush him!
68
00:07:27,081 --> 00:07:28,386
Come on!
69
00:07:32,245 --> 00:07:34,347
They are slaves bought by the lords.
70
00:07:35,323 --> 00:07:37,674
This will end
only when one of them dies.
71
00:07:46,042 --> 00:07:47,261
How dare you!
72
00:07:48,103 --> 00:07:49,213
Give me that!
73
00:07:49,456 --> 00:07:51,396
Go and thrash him!
74
00:07:51,421 --> 00:07:52,529
Go on!
75
00:07:53,666 --> 00:07:56,166
Wasn't there a proclamation
to stop this slave trade?
76
00:07:56,722 --> 00:07:59,652
Proclamations have been issued since 1812.
77
00:07:59,905 --> 00:08:01,535
What's the point of proclamations,
78
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,456
if people don't change?
79
00:08:03,714 --> 00:08:05,526
The masters need slaves.
80
00:08:14,549 --> 00:08:15,987
Crush him, just like that!
81
00:08:24,573 --> 00:08:26,683
I was waiting for you, Lord Peshkaar.
82
00:08:26,708 --> 00:08:27,753
Be seated.
83
00:08:27,862 --> 00:08:29,784
He has come to see you, Lord.
84
00:08:30,948 --> 00:08:33,096
He is the grandson of Arattupuzha Perumal.
85
00:08:34,730 --> 00:08:37,414
Don't you know you are supposed to
maintain distance and stand away?
86
00:08:38,136 --> 00:08:39,925
He said untouchability
is not practised here.
87
00:08:41,011 --> 00:08:43,781
It's fine for now,
considering the place and situation.
88
00:08:45,487 --> 00:08:46,597
You may talk to him.
89
00:08:53,454 --> 00:08:55,080
Did you give the money bag to my house?
90
00:08:55,105 --> 00:08:56,152
Yes, I did.
91
00:08:56,177 --> 00:08:57,177
The whole amount?
92
00:08:57,206 --> 00:08:58,659
I have given 2000 coins.
93
00:08:59,956 --> 00:09:03,065
You wait here.
After this is over, I will talk to Sahib.
94
00:09:54,253 --> 00:09:55,495
Hey!
95
00:10:04,995 --> 00:10:06,183
Go and kill him!
96
00:10:07,097 --> 00:10:08,964
What a lovely face you have!
97
00:10:10,112 --> 00:10:11,284
This way...
98
00:10:37,839 --> 00:10:40,277
Though she is a slave girl,
it's her first time.
99
00:10:40,706 --> 00:10:43,128
She will be lucky
if she survives the night.
100
00:10:54,050 --> 00:10:55,050
Kill him.
101
00:11:01,230 --> 00:11:02,331
Kill him!
102
00:11:03,425 --> 00:11:04,628
-Damn it!
-Finish him off!
103
00:11:08,768 --> 00:11:10,432
I want to see this slave's blood!
104
00:11:10,737 --> 00:11:11,893
-Kill him!
-Please, no...
105
00:11:12,128 --> 00:11:13,277
Kill him now!
106
00:11:13,734 --> 00:11:14,875
Kill him!
107
00:11:14,900 --> 00:11:16,660
I command you to kill him!
108
00:11:18,058 --> 00:11:19,886
I want to see him dying!
109
00:11:22,776 --> 00:11:24,948
KILL HIM!
110
00:11:40,627 --> 00:11:41,841
No! Don't kill him.
111
00:11:42,253 --> 00:11:43,628
Who's this swine?
112
00:11:43,948 --> 00:11:45,237
Who let this man in?
113
00:11:45,262 --> 00:11:46,316
Tie him up!
114
00:11:46,362 --> 00:11:48,200
And whip him until he dies!
115
00:11:56,253 --> 00:11:58,019
Lift him up.
Bring him here.
116
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:00,573
You!
117
00:12:05,128 --> 00:12:06,737
You wanted to see someone die.
118
00:12:09,011 --> 00:12:10,159
Watch him die.
119
00:12:17,791 --> 00:12:19,634
-Help him!
-Sahib!
120
00:12:19,659 --> 00:12:21,566
Leave me!
How dare you!
121
00:12:22,175 --> 00:12:23,370
Go get him.
122
00:12:37,495 --> 00:12:38,604
Kill him!
123
00:12:42,370 --> 00:12:43,767
Capture him!
124
00:12:48,714 --> 00:12:50,081
Don't let him get away!
125
00:13:12,948 --> 00:13:14,159
Block the way!
126
00:13:15,652 --> 00:13:16,831
Seize him!
127
00:13:58,244 --> 00:14:00,228
"During the mid-nineteenth century,
128
00:14:01,167 --> 00:14:03,377
at the palace of the King of Travancore."
129
00:14:09,597 --> 00:14:11,886
Why was everyone summoned so urgently?
130
00:14:12,432 --> 00:14:13,831
Is there an imminent war?
131
00:14:14,167 --> 00:14:16,745
Don't know.
Seem's like it's something important.
132
00:14:35,096 --> 00:14:39,096
Today, the prestige of Travancore
has plunged into the depths of hell!
133
00:14:39,448 --> 00:14:41,792
Being a ruler,
who is also a devotee of Lord Padmanabha,
134
00:14:42,057 --> 00:14:45,792
I have failed to protect
God's sacred ornaments and stone.
135
00:14:46,713 --> 00:14:49,330
It has been so many days and
I have not been able to recover
136
00:14:49,354 --> 00:14:51,970
the divine ornaments which were
stolen by some notorious thief.
137
00:14:52,758 --> 00:14:54,961
Hence, what right do I have
to continue on this throne?
138
00:14:57,579 --> 00:15:01,443
Talk of the realm is that
the ideal job for the Travancore army
139
00:15:01,468 --> 00:15:03,946
would be that of
planting saplings in the fields.
140
00:15:06,188 --> 00:15:07,407
It's not a matter of joke.
141
00:15:09,329 --> 00:15:11,532
Pachu Panikkar,
do you have anything to state?
142
00:15:12,180 --> 00:15:14,960
After all, you are the commander-in-chief
of the Travancore Army.
143
00:15:15,048 --> 00:15:16,102
Your Majesty,
144
00:15:16,165 --> 00:15:18,477
so far no clear evidence has been found
145
00:15:18,712 --> 00:15:21,071
about the robber
who stole the sacred ornaments.
146
00:15:21,220 --> 00:15:22,993
Our army, searching far and wide,
147
00:15:23,018 --> 00:15:26,243
suspects it is Kochunni,
the infamous thief from Kayamkulam.
148
00:15:26,468 --> 00:15:29,333
Panikkar, don't narrate fables
to save face.
149
00:15:29,358 --> 00:15:32,296
What proof do you have to assume
that Kochunni stole the divine jewellery?
150
00:15:32,321 --> 00:15:35,953
The priests who carried it said
they were burgled by thieves in the dark.
151
00:15:36,196 --> 00:15:40,384
I am also inclined to think it was Kochunni
who came in that darkness.
152
00:15:42,149 --> 00:15:44,157
Kaimal, you are not just a landlord.
153
00:15:44,782 --> 00:15:47,180
I've entrusted you with
some other responsibilities as well.
154
00:15:47,845 --> 00:15:50,423
Tell me, do you suspect anyone else?
155
00:15:50,556 --> 00:15:52,563
No, my Majesty, that's not what I meant.
156
00:15:53,321 --> 00:15:56,056
Please grant me a few more days,
your Majesty.
157
00:15:56,626 --> 00:15:59,196
I will capture that despicable thief
and bring him to your feet.
158
00:16:01,102 --> 00:16:03,172
I have been hearing this for days now!
159
00:16:14,476 --> 00:16:16,883
Isn't he the one?
The leader of the lower caste!
160
00:16:17,009 --> 00:16:18,360
Yes, he's the one.
161
00:16:18,595 --> 00:16:20,423
Arattupuzha Velayudha Chekavar!
162
00:16:20,821 --> 00:16:23,915
Look at him making an entrance
grander than a king!
163
00:16:24,446 --> 00:16:25,673
He is a millionaire!
164
00:16:25,727 --> 00:16:27,836
Look at him entering without permission.
165
00:16:28,735 --> 00:16:30,047
Stop there!
166
00:16:30,072 --> 00:16:31,485
Where are you off to so hurriedly?
167
00:16:33,157 --> 00:16:34,946
I would like to meet His Majesty.
168
00:16:35,188 --> 00:16:36,776
It won't be possible to see him today.
169
00:16:36,875 --> 00:16:38,406
The royal council meeting is going on.
170
00:16:38,727 --> 00:16:41,618
His Majesty holds meetings
with low castes every Tuesday.
171
00:16:41,643 --> 00:16:42,807
You can come then.
Now, leave!
172
00:16:42,832 --> 00:16:43,970
I was summoned here, Master.
173
00:16:45,078 --> 00:16:46,173
Stop there, I say!
174
00:16:46,704 --> 00:16:48,133
How dare you show such insolence!
175
00:16:48,578 --> 00:16:50,311
Don't you know that an
Ezhavan, a low caste,
176
00:16:50,336 --> 00:16:51,657
should maintain 36 feet distance?
177
00:16:51,682 --> 00:16:53,298
Keep down that arrogance of your wealth!
178
00:16:53,323 --> 00:16:54,470
Get out!
179
00:16:55,274 --> 00:16:57,563
But I haven't said anything
to provoke your anger, Milord.
180
00:16:57,774 --> 00:16:59,297
And what could you possibly say?
181
00:16:59,704 --> 00:17:02,305
Your forefathers might have
amassed heaps of money
182
00:17:02,329 --> 00:17:04,930
by pimping out to the
Portuguese and the Dutch.
183
00:17:05,329 --> 00:17:06,782
This isn't the place to show it off!
184
00:17:08,118 --> 00:17:09,829
Padaveedan Nambi!
What are you doing?
185
00:17:10,586 --> 00:17:13,336
He is here on the order of His Excellency.
186
00:17:13,704 --> 00:17:14,938
Velayudhan, you may come in.
187
00:17:49,704 --> 00:17:51,907
You may take a seat, Velayudha Chekavar.
188
00:17:52,179 --> 00:17:53,976
What! His Excellency is welcoming him?!
189
00:17:54,468 --> 00:17:55,718
Unbelievable!
190
00:17:57,124 --> 00:17:59,164
Do not hesitate, Velayudhan.
You may sit.
191
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:01,874
Your Majesty, I have no merit for that.
192
00:18:02,429 --> 00:18:03,679
I will stand here.
193
00:18:04,249 --> 00:18:07,155
It's an honour that I could
even enter this imperial court.
194
00:18:07,742 --> 00:18:09,640
Damn him, Velayudha Chekavar!
195
00:18:10,773 --> 00:18:13,492
He thinks of himself
as some mighty warrior!
196
00:18:13,663 --> 00:18:16,616
I have heard a lot about
your daring adventures.
197
00:18:17,187 --> 00:18:19,452
And now, you are a prominent merchant too!
198
00:18:20,272 --> 00:18:23,257
It is rumoured that all the cardamom,
dried ginger and pepper in Travancore
199
00:18:23,796 --> 00:18:25,982
are stashed away in Velayudhan's granary!
200
00:18:26,102 --> 00:18:28,687
Pardon me, Your Majesty,
I'm just a simple merchant.
201
00:18:30,054 --> 00:18:31,452
Velayudhan, you must be aware
202
00:18:31,843 --> 00:18:35,585
that the sacred ornaments and stone
of Lord Padmanabha's were stolen.
203
00:18:35,669 --> 00:18:39,053
In all of Travancore,
only Kayamkulam Kochunni
204
00:18:39,078 --> 00:18:40,929
is capable of doing something so heinous.
205
00:18:42,036 --> 00:18:46,271
Our army has failed to
find him or vanquish him.
206
00:18:46,685 --> 00:18:49,739
That's the reason I summoned you,
Velyudha Chekavar.
207
00:18:50,593 --> 00:18:55,981
I believe that you can capture Kochunni
and bring him before my eyes.
208
00:18:56,630 --> 00:18:58,778
Is he the one to catch Kochunni?
Long odds!
209
00:18:59,128 --> 00:19:02,028
Your Excellency, it would be good
if you could reconsider this decision.
210
00:19:02,083 --> 00:19:06,513
The lower caste is forbidden
to even look at God's jewels.
211
00:19:06,974 --> 00:19:10,372
And to entrust, Velayudhan, who is of the
same lower caste, to retrieve those jewels?
212
00:19:10,411 --> 00:19:13,458
Touching those jewels would be
pollution of purity, a mortal sin!
213
00:19:13,708 --> 00:19:16,653
He has a point, Your Majesty.
214
00:19:16,864 --> 00:19:19,211
So, was there no pollution of purity or sin
215
00:19:19,235 --> 00:19:21,919
when Kayamkulam Kochunni
touched those sacred ornaments?
216
00:19:23,191 --> 00:19:26,102
If one thinks that way,
that is a valid point too.
217
00:19:28,310 --> 00:19:30,958
This is a matter of pride for Travancore.
218
00:19:31,646 --> 00:19:33,724
All I need to know is Velayudhan's opinion.
219
00:19:34,278 --> 00:19:37,020
Do you have the might to face Kochunni?
220
00:19:37,121 --> 00:19:41,785
Your Majesty, if you demand, I will capture
Kochunni and bring him before you.
221
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,168
But if I, the one born in an inferior
caste, retrieve the sacred ornaments,
222
00:19:46,669 --> 00:19:48,896
it would bring disgrace to these lords.
223
00:19:49,536 --> 00:19:50,802
Hence, I beg your forgiveness.
224
00:19:51,536 --> 00:19:54,129
Your Highness, do you notice
the air of insolence in his speech?
225
00:19:54,293 --> 00:19:55,606
We were only mentioning the laws
226
00:19:55,631 --> 00:19:58,153
that this kingdom has been following
for the last few centuries.
227
00:19:58,178 --> 00:20:00,693
Your Highness, how can we rewrite
the mandates just for him?
228
00:20:00,718 --> 00:20:03,553
If customs are violated,
our land will be ruined!
229
00:20:05,131 --> 00:20:07,700
Should we deliberately
invite a calamity, my King?
230
00:20:07,864 --> 00:20:09,667
Please don't break the customs,
Your Highness!
231
00:20:09,692 --> 00:20:10,833
Exactly!
232
00:20:10,858 --> 00:20:13,200
-Kindly reconsider it.
-He has a point, Your Highness.
233
00:20:13,426 --> 00:20:15,778
Minister, what is your opinion?
234
00:20:15,989 --> 00:20:17,724
Your Excellency...
235
00:20:18,232 --> 00:20:20,872
When it is a matter of
the law and our customs...
236
00:20:22,341 --> 00:20:24,903
Your Majesty, I'm here only because
you summoned me.
237
00:20:25,708 --> 00:20:28,114
I have no words of gratitude
for your trust in me.
238
00:20:28,139 --> 00:20:30,999
It won't be enough even if
I lay down my life for you.
239
00:20:31,833 --> 00:20:34,748
I will always be at
Your Majesty's beck and call.
240
00:20:35,586 --> 00:20:37,635
But I implore, please do
not assign this task to me,
241
00:20:37,660 --> 00:20:39,831
especially when you have
an entire council against me.
242
00:20:40,419 --> 00:20:42,245
Please grant me
permission to take your leave.
243
00:20:47,411 --> 00:20:49,075
Your Highness, he's a felon!
244
00:20:49,536 --> 00:20:51,083
I have known him from years ago.
245
00:20:51,989 --> 00:20:53,130
Yes, you do.
246
00:20:54,083 --> 00:20:56,208
To be precise, eighteen years ago!
247
00:20:57,442 --> 00:21:00,060
Shall I divulge your true face
to everyone here?
248
00:21:00,965 --> 00:21:02,230
It might disfigure you forever!
249
00:21:03,075 --> 00:21:04,997
He's lying, Your Majesty!
250
00:21:06,387 --> 00:21:09,989
For the attention of the
commander-in-chief, lords and governors,
251
00:21:10,527 --> 00:21:12,979
today I have taken your
opinion into consideration
252
00:21:13,841 --> 00:21:17,794
But, capturing Kayamkulam Kochunni
and recovering the sacred ornaments
253
00:21:18,458 --> 00:21:20,168
is now entirely your sole responsibility.
254
00:21:20,450 --> 00:21:21,762
Bear that in mind!
255
00:21:23,707 --> 00:21:25,543
What you did was wise, Velayudha Chekavar!
256
00:21:26,277 --> 00:21:28,753
Those people who are actively
demanding Kochunni's arrest
257
00:21:29,035 --> 00:21:30,815
will be the one ratting us out to Kochunni!
258
00:21:31,271 --> 00:21:32,802
No one can be trusted.
259
00:21:33,708 --> 00:21:36,716
The commander-in-chief has taken
an oath to capture Kochunni.
260
00:21:37,427 --> 00:21:39,810
Maybe he wishes so,
because he is the commander-in-chief.
261
00:21:40,310 --> 00:21:41,442
But...
262
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:42,934
What is it?
263
00:21:43,435 --> 00:21:45,567
The warlords of Travancore
have always been like that,
264
00:21:46,395 --> 00:21:48,919
they all have these wishes,
but it's in their destiny to fail.
265
00:21:49,247 --> 00:21:50,286
I do not understand.
266
00:21:50,311 --> 00:21:51,552
I am Kannan Kurup.
267
00:21:51,577 --> 00:21:53,770
I am the son of former
commander-in-chief, Pappu Kurup.
268
00:21:54,341 --> 00:21:55,489
Oh!
269
00:21:55,793 --> 00:21:57,316
Glad to have met you.
270
00:21:57,567 --> 00:21:58,700
Farewell.
271
00:22:19,371 --> 00:22:20,769
Flog their backs with the whips!
272
00:22:21,763 --> 00:22:25,044
Let this be a lesson to
all those who disobey.
273
00:22:25,349 --> 00:22:28,974
Doesn't matter if they drop dead,
make sure they are whipped 108 times!
274
00:22:29,246 --> 00:22:30,527
Come on, whip them!
275
00:22:31,951 --> 00:22:33,380
Oh, no, my daughter!
276
00:22:34,958 --> 00:22:36,161
Please stop, Milord!
277
00:22:37,091 --> 00:22:38,365
No, Milord!
278
00:22:42,466 --> 00:22:45,107
You had the audacity to walk
in public wearing a moustache!
279
00:22:45,419 --> 00:22:47,637
But you cannot pay the moustache tax!
280
00:22:48,005 --> 00:22:49,091
How dare you!
281
00:22:56,568 --> 00:22:58,802
Not enough!
Strike them harder!
282
00:22:59,177 --> 00:23:01,911
Her screams must be heard miles away.
283
00:23:02,528 --> 00:23:03,872
Hey, you! Sergeant Raaru Pillai!
284
00:23:03,968 --> 00:23:05,427
You only got these two?
285
00:23:05,544 --> 00:23:07,497
No, Milord, we have got around ten more.
286
00:23:07,522 --> 00:23:09,865
Mostly lowbred women
who don't pay the breast tax.
287
00:23:09,890 --> 00:23:12,250
They must be the disciples
of that wretched witch, Nangeli.
288
00:23:12,275 --> 00:23:13,289
Yes, they are.
289
00:23:13,314 --> 00:23:16,123
According to the new order, lower
caste women who cover up their chests
290
00:23:16,148 --> 00:23:17,346
and don't pay the breast tax
291
00:23:17,371 --> 00:23:19,982
will not only have their breasts
chopped off but also their heads!
292
00:23:20,007 --> 00:23:21,388
-Let it be known!
-Will tell them.
293
00:23:24,527 --> 00:23:27,480
Milord, flogging these women
won't be enough.
294
00:23:27,529 --> 00:23:30,240
We must capture
and behead their leader, Nangeli.
295
00:23:30,590 --> 00:23:32,324
I will do what's necessary today itself.
296
00:23:36,177 --> 00:23:37,990
Do you have Kizharnelli,
the medicinal plant?
297
00:23:38,015 --> 00:23:39,255
-Yes, I do.
-Give me a bunch.
298
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,590
-And a bunch of Ashwagandha too.
-Getting them right away.
299
00:23:41,615 --> 00:23:42,786
-Vasu Pillai?
-Yes.
300
00:23:42,811 --> 00:23:45,943
I heard that the army came in search
of Kelu's daughter, Nangeli
301
00:23:45,968 --> 00:23:48,741
and that if they get hold of her,
she would be executed.
302
00:23:48,766 --> 00:23:49,915
Is that true?
303
00:23:49,940 --> 00:23:52,296
It's true alright.
But they couldn't catch Nangeli!
304
00:23:52,321 --> 00:23:53,460
Aha!
305
00:23:53,485 --> 00:23:55,930
Milords, a large gathering of
women are coming this way.
306
00:23:55,955 --> 00:23:57,118
-What?!
-This way?!
307
00:23:57,143 --> 00:23:59,024
O lords, we have dignity too!
308
00:23:59,108 --> 00:24:01,161
O lords, we are humans too!
309
00:24:05,427 --> 00:24:08,575
Shame on you, O lords!
Shame on you, O lords!
310
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,434
Shame on you, O lords!
Shame on you, O lords!
311
00:24:11,459 --> 00:24:13,404
O lords, we have dignity too!
312
00:24:13,451 --> 00:24:15,490
O lords, we are humans too!
313
00:24:18,419 --> 00:24:22,622
O lords, we have dignity too!
O lords, we are humans too!
314
00:24:25,411 --> 00:24:26,497
That's it!
315
00:24:26,919 --> 00:24:30,342
We'll soon see their corpses
floating in Vembanad lake.
316
00:24:32,865 --> 00:24:35,795
Do we have no right to cover up our shame?
317
00:24:35,952 --> 00:24:38,529
Do we have no right to cover up our shame?
318
00:24:38,554 --> 00:24:41,307
Shame on you, O lords!
Shame on you, O lords!
319
00:24:41,502 --> 00:24:44,791
Shame on you, O lords!
Shame on you, O lords!
320
00:24:44,861 --> 00:24:45,963
Stop!
321
00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:53,174
How dare you lowlifes walk through
the royal path with your chests covered?!
322
00:24:53,408 --> 00:24:56,127
Remove your breast clothes and disperse!
323
00:24:56,152 --> 00:24:59,924
O lords, we have dignity too!
O lords, we are humans too!
324
00:25:00,829 --> 00:25:02,087
Stop it, you uncouth women!
325
00:25:02,619 --> 00:25:04,143
Beat them and chase them away!
326
00:26:03,829 --> 00:26:04,954
Enough!
327
00:26:06,563 --> 00:26:10,211
So you are the lowbred lass, Nangeli,
who has mastered the battle moves!
328
00:26:14,157 --> 00:26:16,743
I got some other moves you don't know.
329
00:26:17,655 --> 00:26:19,303
If you cooperate, I could teach you.
330
00:26:19,719 --> 00:26:22,586
I don't have any qualms about
untouchability when it comes to that.
331
00:26:29,111 --> 00:26:31,239
It's obvious that you were born to
a lower-caste woman
332
00:26:31,264 --> 00:26:32,999
who was impregnated
by some upper-caste man.
333
00:26:33,187 --> 00:26:34,851
That's why you are so light-skinned.
334
00:26:35,118 --> 00:26:37,407
Oh! So, we cannot be light-skinned?
335
00:26:38,328 --> 00:26:40,717
Then the people of your caste
who are dark-skinned
336
00:26:40,742 --> 00:26:42,148
would have been fathered by slaves?
337
00:26:42,173 --> 00:26:44,469
Beware, you bitch!
How dare you abuse our forefathers!
338
00:26:46,795 --> 00:26:52,886
Is there any lord who can resist
this willowy figure and face of yours.
339
00:26:55,826 --> 00:26:58,085
You damn filthy wretch,
you think you are some princess!
340
00:27:01,952 --> 00:27:03,878
You can't bear the sight of us
anywhere near you!
341
00:27:03,903 --> 00:27:06,694
But you take great pleasure
in seeing our naked bodies, don't you?
342
00:27:07,051 --> 00:27:08,348
You sleazy, depraved humans!
343
00:27:08,420 --> 00:27:09,645
Stop it, you bitch!
344
00:27:09,786 --> 00:27:11,435
Do you know who you are talking to?
345
00:27:35,568 --> 00:27:40,373
Now watch me chop off her head
and let this be a lesson for all of you!
346
00:27:41,982 --> 00:27:47,146
I consider it a virtue
to behead a sinner like you!
347
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,232
Ugh! What a disgrace!
348
00:27:59,279 --> 00:28:02,646
It's the first time I hear that
beheading a girl is a virtuous deed.
349
00:28:04,060 --> 00:28:05,318
What are you doing here?
350
00:28:05,740 --> 00:28:08,380
We know how to enforce
the laws of the land! Back off!
351
00:28:08,615 --> 00:28:09,818
I will go.
352
00:28:10,420 --> 00:28:14,271
But do not misuse your power
to treat humans like pests.
353
00:28:14,529 --> 00:28:17,552
I also have the power to chop
your head off for your arrogance!
354
00:28:18,325 --> 00:28:19,364
Remember...
355
00:28:19,746 --> 00:28:22,316
I will not tolerate your
arrogance just because you are
356
00:28:22,340 --> 00:28:24,909
rich enough to trot around
with prostitutes like her!
357
00:28:24,934 --> 00:28:26,136
Take that smugness elsewhere!
358
00:28:58,097 --> 00:28:59,159
Attack him!
359
00:30:06,355 --> 00:30:09,097
You said the untouchables must keep
36 paces away from you, right?
360
00:30:09,355 --> 00:30:10,612
It is not 36, yet!
361
00:32:11,948 --> 00:32:13,722
Milord, if my touch has defiled you,
362
00:32:14,448 --> 00:32:16,143
go and cleanse yourself in holy water.
363
00:32:16,542 --> 00:32:18,191
I will have vengeance!
364
00:32:18,510 --> 00:32:19,955
For the time being, save yourself.
365
00:32:20,798 --> 00:32:23,430
Don't you dare come to disrobe
these destitute people ever again!
366
00:32:38,597 --> 00:32:39,753
You have to be careful.
367
00:32:40,776 --> 00:32:44,159
Never forget that our enemies
are mighty and powerful.
368
00:33:11,167 --> 00:33:13,628
Your Highness, sorry for troubling you
at this odd hour.
369
00:33:13,808 --> 00:33:15,823
There is an important matter to inform you.
370
00:33:15,886 --> 00:33:16,948
Tell me.
371
00:33:16,973 --> 00:33:19,464
Some untoward incidents
took place in Cherthala today.
372
00:33:19,736 --> 00:33:22,173
Padaveedan Nambi,
the deputy chief of our army,
373
00:33:22,253 --> 00:33:26,047
was almost beaten to death
by Arattupuzha Velayudhan in public.
374
00:33:26,072 --> 00:33:27,964
All that barbarity just
because Nambi questioned
375
00:33:27,989 --> 00:33:29,956
some lower caste women
for covering their breasts.
376
00:33:29,981 --> 00:33:32,071
The Village Officer in
Cherthala had informed us
377
00:33:32,095 --> 00:33:34,185
that no one is paying
the mandatory breast tax.
378
00:33:34,418 --> 00:33:36,230
Velayudhan is responsible
for all this furore.
379
00:33:36,448 --> 00:33:39,753
If you give the orders,
we can send our army to arrest him.
380
00:33:40,627 --> 00:33:43,048
Nowhere else in India
will you find such practices!
381
00:33:43,448 --> 00:33:45,908
Only in Travancore, you have these
breast and moustache taxes.
382
00:33:46,847 --> 00:33:48,245
My predecessor, the great uncle,
383
00:33:48,589 --> 00:33:51,675
conquered from Kanyakumari
in the south to Aluva in the north
384
00:33:51,700 --> 00:33:52,964
and expanded our empire.
385
00:33:54,066 --> 00:33:59,526
But it was not just our army
that helped win those battles, was it?
386
00:33:59,783 --> 00:34:03,300
No, the kings from other lands
aided us back then.
387
00:34:03,441 --> 00:34:05,941
And when there wasn't enough money
in the treasury
388
00:34:05,966 --> 00:34:08,113
to pay up what was promised to these kings,
389
00:34:08,138 --> 00:34:09,761
they decided to impose such taxes.
390
00:34:09,934 --> 00:34:12,747
So what if traitors like Velayudhan
get those taxes abolished?
391
00:34:12,776 --> 00:34:14,549
Don't let him get away with it,
Your Majesty!
392
00:34:14,589 --> 00:34:16,151
He should be given maximum punishment.
393
00:34:16,245 --> 00:34:19,206
If needed, we can give him
the death penalty.
394
00:34:19,970 --> 00:34:21,266
But, Panikkar, do you know that
395
00:34:21,401 --> 00:34:23,504
the properties and
assets of high officials
396
00:34:23,528 --> 00:34:25,933
and landlords like yourself
are exempted from tax?
397
00:34:26,798 --> 00:34:28,532
And what about the Devaswom
and Brahmaswam?!
398
00:34:28,815 --> 00:34:31,167
In short, the rich have no tax.
399
00:34:31,533 --> 00:34:32,838
But Velayudhan is not like that.
400
00:34:33,448 --> 00:34:36,066
He regularly pays
a large sum of money as tax.
401
00:34:36,698 --> 00:34:38,808
Moreover, when there is a shortage in the
402
00:34:38,832 --> 00:34:41,366
treasury to pay taxes
to the British Company,
403
00:34:41,391 --> 00:34:43,237
Velayudhan pays his taxes in advance.
404
00:34:44,019 --> 00:34:45,206
I shall think about it.
405
00:34:46,267 --> 00:34:48,875
For the time being, Pachu Panikkar,
you can focus on retrieving
406
00:34:48,900 --> 00:34:51,541
Lord Padmanabha's sacred ornaments
and protect my pride.
407
00:34:52,166 --> 00:34:54,408
Otherwise, I will have to take action
against you.
408
00:35:02,784 --> 00:35:05,089
Chirukandan, my dear, come quick.
409
00:35:05,370 --> 00:35:06,956
I'm almost there, Nangeli.
410
00:35:18,671 --> 00:35:20,100
Where are you going with this pot?
411
00:35:20,317 --> 00:35:22,056
I was coming to your hut.
412
00:35:22,472 --> 00:35:23,909
I didn't see you yesterday.
413
00:35:24,059 --> 00:35:26,346
There was cattle ploughing
in the paddy field yesterday.
414
00:35:26,371 --> 00:35:28,822
And at night, I went to Ambalapuzha
with the bullock cart.
415
00:35:28,847 --> 00:35:31,227
Lord asked me to do cattle ploughing
in the morning, again.
416
00:35:31,519 --> 00:35:33,136
I was coming to see you today.
417
00:35:33,521 --> 00:35:35,269
What was the big battle yesterday?
418
00:35:36,286 --> 00:35:39,723
Everyone is saying that Nangeli escaped
only because of Velayudha Chekavar.
419
00:35:40,484 --> 00:35:42,448
It's true.
It got out of hands.
420
00:35:42,848 --> 00:35:44,763
If Velayudha Chekavar had not come,
421
00:35:45,108 --> 00:35:47,272
you wouldn't be seeing me alive today.
422
00:35:47,756 --> 00:35:49,577
Why do you have those scars on your cheek?
423
00:35:50,287 --> 00:35:51,941
They are gifts from the deputy chief!
424
00:35:52,134 --> 00:35:54,149
What all did those barbarians do!
425
00:35:54,542 --> 00:35:56,370
Thank you, my Goddess, you saved her!
426
00:35:56,965 --> 00:35:59,757
Velayudha Chekavar really appeared
like a god, didn't he?
427
00:36:01,761 --> 00:36:03,066
What's in this pot?
428
00:36:06,237 --> 00:36:07,495
Is it jaggery pudding?
429
00:36:07,528 --> 00:36:08,737
Today is my birthday.
430
00:36:08,831 --> 00:36:10,300
Father said to make some pudding.
431
00:36:10,895 --> 00:36:12,754
Then I thought of you, Chirukandan.
432
00:36:12,821 --> 00:36:14,157
So I was bringing some for you.
433
00:36:14,654 --> 00:36:16,419
That means you do love me!
434
00:36:18,019 --> 00:36:19,550
I always wonder...
435
00:36:20,353 --> 00:36:21,564
What?
436
00:36:22,089 --> 00:36:24,384
You are someone everyone is besotted with
437
00:36:24,799 --> 00:36:26,986
but you fell in love with me.
438
00:36:27,393 --> 00:36:30,627
Our marriage was decided
by our parents, right?
439
00:36:32,831 --> 00:36:34,597
Do I need to come to the hut now?
440
00:36:34,622 --> 00:36:37,778
The ladies of the mansion have invited me.
I said I would go.
441
00:36:37,803 --> 00:36:39,022
Let me go and come.
442
00:37:04,245 --> 00:37:05,644
Walk fast.
443
00:37:06,839 --> 00:37:08,151
Who is that, Janaki?
444
00:37:08,917 --> 00:37:10,230
Oh, no! Uncle is here!
445
00:37:10,862 --> 00:37:12,425
Are you feeling cold, Savithri?
446
00:37:12,823 --> 00:37:14,284
Your body is shivering.
447
00:37:14,401 --> 00:37:16,479
What happened with Savithri kutty?
448
00:37:16,533 --> 00:37:18,689
Um... she seems to have a high fever.
449
00:37:18,784 --> 00:37:20,120
She's shivering profusely.
450
00:37:20,145 --> 00:37:22,253
Why did you get out then?
451
00:37:22,855 --> 00:37:26,386
Listen, be careful with fever.
Smallpox is everywhere!
452
00:37:26,411 --> 00:37:27,831
I also told her the same.
453
00:37:27,856 --> 00:37:29,838
Come, let us get going.
454
00:37:30,300 --> 00:37:32,409
I warned you to not go outside!
455
00:37:32,691 --> 00:37:33,886
Come.
456
00:37:47,989 --> 00:37:52,122
Oh, dear! When I saw the lord,
I thought we were in trouble.
457
00:37:53,097 --> 00:37:56,081
You underestimated
Janaki's intellect, Nangeli.
458
00:37:56,253 --> 00:37:57,644
Wise girl!
459
00:37:57,744 --> 00:38:01,786
Still, when I saw uncle,
I got stressed and didn't know what to do.
460
00:38:02,150 --> 00:38:05,150
Suddenly, an idea came to mind
and I went with it.
461
00:38:06,950 --> 00:38:08,505
Is Bhageerathi amma in there?
462
00:38:08,789 --> 00:38:10,085
Could you please come here.
463
00:38:10,296 --> 00:38:12,421
I have brought you some good luck.
464
00:38:12,532 --> 00:38:14,688
This is what we call destiny.
465
00:38:14,713 --> 00:38:16,649
What is it, Konthi Kurup?
What is the good news?
466
00:38:16,674 --> 00:38:17,946
Good news indeed!
467
00:38:18,953 --> 00:38:20,164
Don't you understand?
468
00:38:20,242 --> 00:38:23,984
I am talking about Eshwaran Namboothiri,
the advisor to the Maharaja.
469
00:38:24,101 --> 00:38:25,844
Please say it clearly, Konthi Kurup.
470
00:38:27,398 --> 00:38:28,555
Look over there.
471
00:38:33,634 --> 00:38:35,056
Put down the palanquin right here.
472
00:38:39,047 --> 00:38:40,141
Please step out.
473
00:38:47,703 --> 00:38:51,992
He was at the temple this morning
when Savithri's news reached his ears.
474
00:38:53,135 --> 00:38:54,251
Savithri chechi...
475
00:38:55,466 --> 00:38:56,528
Who has come?
476
00:38:56,591 --> 00:38:58,371
Seems like an important person.
477
00:38:58,652 --> 00:39:00,106
A wrinkly old Namboothiri.
478
00:39:00,598 --> 00:39:03,652
He wants a sambandham,
an informal marriage, with you.
479
00:39:04,918 --> 00:39:06,097
With me?!
480
00:39:07,042 --> 00:39:08,399
You know, Thanu Pillai,
481
00:39:08,424 --> 00:39:13,939
from Ambalapuzha to Aluva, Milord
owns ten thousand yards of paddy fields.
482
00:39:14,824 --> 00:39:17,355
When it comes to properties,
neither do I, his manager, nor he,
483
00:39:17,380 --> 00:39:19,986
the owner, have any idea about
the vast number of houses he owns!
484
00:39:20,519 --> 00:39:21,903
Nothing like that will happen.
485
00:39:22,168 --> 00:39:25,448
Someone perfect will come to marry you.
486
00:39:25,558 --> 00:39:26,596
I know that for sure!
487
00:39:26,856 --> 00:39:28,926
What kind of man would you like to marry?
488
00:39:29,261 --> 00:39:31,089
A rich man or a warrior?
489
00:39:31,114 --> 00:39:32,176
Who do you have in mind?
490
00:39:33,902 --> 00:39:37,964
I want someone brave and strong
like Velayudha Chekavar.
491
00:39:38,401 --> 00:39:39,596
You think I can find one?
492
00:39:40,137 --> 00:39:41,192
Not bad!
493
00:39:41,893 --> 00:39:43,911
Mother will be coming here soon.
494
00:39:43,942 --> 00:39:46,270
-Oh, no! I should get going.
-How will you go?
495
00:39:46,590 --> 00:39:48,105
How can you cover up again and go?
496
00:39:50,567 --> 00:39:51,840
-There's a way!
-Nangeli...
497
00:39:52,027 --> 00:39:53,997
Here, I kept this for you.
498
00:39:54,022 --> 00:39:55,028
What is this?
499
00:39:55,059 --> 00:39:56,286
Some drape clothes.
500
00:39:56,311 --> 00:39:58,397
I know you don't have enough clothes.
501
00:39:58,686 --> 00:40:02,147
There is also a pearl chain,
a nice pair of earrings and kohl for you.
502
00:40:02,606 --> 00:40:04,779
Then, let me go and try these.
503
00:40:05,246 --> 00:40:07,105
Try the drape only at night.
504
00:40:07,372 --> 00:40:09,153
What if someone sees you during the day!
505
00:40:09,311 --> 00:40:11,615
Come, let's go from here
before Mother comes.

Are they building resilience?
543
00:44:26,758 --> 00:44:27,834
They are, gradually.
544
00:44:28,089 --> 00:44:29,136
That is not enough.
545
00:44:29,458 --> 00:44:31,915
The world should know that

at the Thekkumpuram temple today.
568
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,486
Our martial arts master told me about it.

The royal artist, Naanu
is playing the role of Keechaka.

I have been wanting
to see that performance for so long!
571
00:45:37,996 --> 00:45:39,636
Anyway, I have decided to watch it today.
572
00:45:39,661 --> 00:45:42,667
Don't you know that it is forbidden
for us Ezhava castes to watch Kathakali?
573
00:45:43,348 --> 00:45:44,854
Will the temple management allow it?
574
00:45:45,020 --> 00:45:47,253
But I am not going inside
the temple to watch it.
575
00:45:47,824 --> 00:45:49,910
The north wall of the temple
has fallen apart.
576

I can sit outside and
watch the performance. Can't I, dear?

cannot walk in front of temples.

as intolerant as they were in the past.

you may go, Grandfather.

That's when I heard about
today's performance.

You fool! They are not mere figures,
but Keechakan and Panchali!

This is the scene where
Keechakan proposes his love to Panchali.

Don't you know it is against the law
for the lower castes to watch Kathakali?

Forgive me, Milord.
612

His games won't work out here
in Thekkumpuram.
652
00:50:04,293 --> 00:50:06,557
You should only enter places
you are allowed to.
653
00:50:06,582 --> 00:50:08,277
Or you will have to accept the punishment.
654
00:50:08,302 --> 00:50:10,972
-Do you understand, Velayudhan?
-Yes, I do.
655
00:50:12,199 --> 00:50:14,316
But what if we entered
where we are allowed?
656
00:50:14,341 --> 00:50:15,676
What insolence is this!
657
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:19,152
Not insolence, Milord.
658
00:50:20,301 --> 00:50:24,480
What if my grandfather entered the property
that was owned by him?
659
00:50:26,261 --> 00:50:29,918
This entire land beyond the temple wall
belongs to us.
660
00:50:32,324 --> 00:50:37,988
If we go by the law, I decide what to
do on the land that I pay the tax for.
661
00:50:38,575 --> 00:50:39,761
I was talking about the law
662
00:50:39,786 --> 00:50:43,059
whereby the lower caste people
should not watch or learn kathakali.
663
00:50:43,527 --> 00:50:46,364
Even the animals that sit on this wall
are allowed to watch the show.
664
00:50:47,293 --> 00:50:49,058
But alas! Some humans can't!
665
00:50:49,722 --> 00:50:52,745
Well, let me ask
the custodian family of the temple.
666
00:50:53,316 --> 00:50:57,152
Lord Appu Kurup, why have
you not rebuilt this broken wall?
667
00:50:58,402 --> 00:51:00,034
We need a lot of money for that.
668
00:51:00,271 --> 00:51:02,005
The temple hardly
receives any benefactions.
669
00:51:02,030 --> 00:51:03,254
The situation is pitiful.
670
00:51:03,387 --> 00:51:05,496
Then, shall I demolish this
and build a new wall?
671
00:51:06,184 --> 00:51:10,871
I will also donate enough money to build
a nice flagstaff for the temple.
672
00:51:11,073 --> 00:51:13,408
If you can do that,
you'll be blessed, Velayudhan.
673
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,252
Appu Kurup!
What are you saying?!
674
00:51:15,988 --> 00:51:19,074
We need a lot of money
to build this temple wall.
675
00:51:19,099 --> 00:51:20,168
You!
676
00:51:20,193 --> 00:51:21,731
What I said is the truth, Milord.
677
00:51:22,043 --> 00:51:24,613
Well then, I'll start
rebuilding the wall right away.
678
00:51:25,137 --> 00:51:27,324
My fellows, demolish this wall!
679
00:51:28,395 --> 00:51:30,269
Make sure to build
a new wall tomorrow itself.
680
00:51:41,707 --> 00:51:44,840
You pay absolutely no respect
to the landlords, do you?
681
00:51:44,963 --> 00:51:46,660
No, Milord. I wouldn't dare.
682
00:51:47,471 --> 00:51:48,963
It's because I pay a lot of respect,
683
00:51:49,051 --> 00:51:51,236
that I am going to rebuild this
wall with my own money.
684
00:51:55,136 --> 00:51:57,316
Who is the lord in charge of
the Kathakali performance?
685
00:51:57,731 --> 00:52:00,566
It's me, the royal artist, Naanu master.
686
00:52:00,652 --> 00:52:02,471
How much money
do you get for a performance?
687
00:52:02,637 --> 00:52:04,668
It will be depressing if I talk about that.
688
00:52:04,971 --> 00:52:09,277
We hardly get 10 rupees and we are
12 people, including the percussionist.
689
00:52:09,583 --> 00:52:10,711
Would you be happy
690
00:52:10,736 --> 00:52:13,261
if I give you three hundred rupees
to complete the performance?
691
00:52:13,309 --> 00:52:14,636
Three hundred rupees?!
692
00:52:14,816 --> 00:52:16,127
O Lord Krishna,
693
00:52:16,152 --> 00:52:18,957
is this a reward for performing before you,
my God, for so many years?
694
00:52:19,129 --> 00:52:20,199
Chandru...
695
00:52:23,653 --> 00:52:24,785
-Here you go.
-Lord Krishna!
696
00:52:25,035 --> 00:52:26,691
-I need you to do one more favour.
-Mm?
697
00:52:26,965 --> 00:52:29,840
It would make me happy
if you could perform on this platform.
698
00:52:30,246 --> 00:52:32,347
My grandfather could watch it from closer.
699
00:52:32,372 --> 00:52:33,426
Panikkar...
700
00:52:33,451 --> 00:52:35,933
Everyone get up on this platform.
Let's start the performance.
701
00:52:35,958 --> 00:52:37,208
Hey, you! Master!
702
00:52:37,644 --> 00:52:39,262
You are not going to perform here today!
703
00:52:39,287 --> 00:52:41,232
Naanu Master will perform Kathakali.
Here, today!
704
00:52:41,257 --> 00:52:42,272
And it's my word!
705
00:52:42,318 --> 00:52:43,926
Shut up, you dog!
706
00:52:46,137 --> 00:52:48,262
Don't beg for embarrassment
in front of these people.
707
00:52:49,418 --> 00:52:52,527
If you don't want to get roughed up,
it is best you walk away!
708
00:52:54,246 --> 00:52:57,168
I am letting you go only because
we are in the vicinity of the temple!
709
00:53:14,168 --> 00:53:15,301
Look over there.
710
00:53:50,043 --> 00:53:51,043
Huh?
711
00:53:54,136 --> 00:53:55,691
These are the hoofprints of his horse!
712
00:53:55,716 --> 00:53:57,262
Are you sure it was Kochunni?
713
00:53:57,287 --> 00:53:58,386
I saw him with my own eyes!
714
00:53:58,411 --> 00:54:00,114
I'm not going back without Kochunni again.
715
00:54:00,139 --> 00:54:02,538
Chief, I hear a horse galloping close by.
716
00:54:05,254 --> 00:54:06,590
Chief, that's definitely him!
717
00:54:06,723 --> 00:54:07,739
Come on!
718
00:54:07,764 --> 00:54:08,958
I will finish him off today!
719
00:54:32,769 --> 00:54:34,653
Looks like they are all dead.
720
00:54:34,941 --> 00:54:36,715
They were executed and
hung there by someone.
721
00:54:41,716 --> 00:54:42,737
Oh, no!
722
00:54:42,762 --> 00:54:45,231
Isn't this our commander-in-chief?
723
00:54:45,668 --> 00:54:46,996
Lord Panikkar!
724
00:54:47,504 --> 00:54:48,941
Oh! Panikkar, my Lord!
725
00:54:48,973 --> 00:54:50,356
What happened to you?
726
00:54:50,381 --> 00:54:51,544
Untie me and help me down.
727
00:54:51,569 --> 00:54:52,645
Or I'll die!
728
00:54:57,613 --> 00:54:59,144
Ladies and gentlemen!
729
00:54:59,698 --> 00:55:04,331
The Maharaja of Travancore earnestly
informs his subjects that...
730
00:55:07,309 --> 00:55:09,441
Kayamkulam Kochunni,
the burglar who had stolen
731
00:55:09,466 --> 00:55:12,739
the sacred ornaments from
Padmanabha Swami temple
732
00:55:12,902 --> 00:55:16,418
has badly assaulted Travancore's great
commander-in-chief, Pachu Panikkar
733
00:55:16,443 --> 00:55:18,242
and his assistants during their attempt to
734
00:55:18,266 --> 00:55:20,550
capture the burglar and
retrieve the stolen goods.
735
00:55:20,660 --> 00:55:22,963
His Majesty has proclaimed
a reward of 200 gold coins to
736
00:55:22,988 --> 00:55:28,081
whoever captures the notorious fugitive,
Kochunni, either alive or dead
737
00:55:28,238 --> 00:55:35,644
and 100 gold coins to whoever
gives information about the said thief.
738
00:55:59,207 --> 00:56:02,809
Kaatha, cook this fish with some tamarind.
739
00:56:03,566 --> 00:56:06,785
My mouth waters when I think
of your scrumptious fish curry.
740
00:56:08,316 --> 00:56:09,699
If it is so tasty...
741
00:56:10,019 --> 00:56:12,684
how come you don't visit me more often?
742
00:56:12,761 --> 00:56:15,399
My princess, Kaatha,
even if it isn't that often,
743
00:56:15,423 --> 00:56:18,464
when I do visit you, don't I
make them unforgettable!
744
00:56:23,746 --> 00:56:26,456
They are also coming.
Make rice and curry for them too.
745
00:56:32,348 --> 00:56:33,730
Ah, everyone is here!
746
00:56:34,285 --> 00:56:35,551
What news?
747
00:56:35,576 --> 00:56:36,592
There is news.
748
00:56:36,756 --> 00:56:39,522
An announcement has
shaken all of Travancore.
749
00:56:39,574 --> 00:56:40,731
What announcement?
750
00:56:40,756 --> 00:56:42,889
Two hundred gold coins
will be rewarded
751
00:56:42,914 --> 00:56:45,796
to anyone who captures
Kayamkulam Kochunni, alive or dead.
752
00:56:46,436 --> 00:56:49,304
O my Goddess, what if they capture you?!
753
00:56:49,881 --> 00:56:52,281
No chance! Even their forefathers
couldn't if they wanted to!
754
00:56:53,077 --> 00:56:54,943
But do these infidels know that
755
00:56:54,968 --> 00:56:58,389
I do not have this thing
they accuse me of stealing?
756
00:56:58,936 --> 00:57:00,030
That's right.
757
00:57:00,055 --> 00:57:02,328
They must be searching for the
sacred ornaments elsewhere
758
00:57:02,353 --> 00:57:04,978
when they should actually be
looking for it in the palace grounds!
759
00:57:05,436 --> 00:57:07,256
Alas!
I made a mistake that day!
760
00:57:16,945 --> 00:57:18,772
He came this way!
But where is he?
761
00:57:18,812 --> 00:57:19,835
What happened, Priest?
762
00:57:19,860 --> 00:57:22,068
-Did you see anyone run this way?
-No, what happened?
763
00:57:22,093 --> 00:57:24,382
A thief has entered the palace grounds.
Let everyone know!
764
00:57:24,407 --> 00:57:26,639
-Let's inform the army immediately!
-Come, on! Hurry up!
765
00:57:28,101 --> 00:57:29,468
Priest, let us look over there.
766
00:57:30,061 --> 00:57:31,522
He must not have gone far.
767
00:57:51,359 --> 00:57:53,726
Do you think it will
still be there if we go again?
768
00:57:53,874 --> 00:57:55,195
It will be there for sure.
769
00:57:55,249 --> 00:57:57,812
If someone found it, they would have
announced it to the world!
770
00:57:59,062 --> 00:58:01,796
Kochunni, there's an opportunity
to recover that chest.
771
00:58:02,030 --> 00:58:04,233
-That's the reason we came.
-What opportunity?
772
00:58:04,382 --> 00:58:07,772
This Thursday is the marriage
celebration of the young prince.
773
00:58:07,968 --> 00:58:10,265
There will be singing and
dancing in the evening.
774
00:58:10,780 --> 00:58:12,827
Everyone will be there
since it is a banquet dinner.
775
00:58:13,272 --> 00:58:14,975
We should retrieve the chest at that time.
776
00:58:16,053 --> 00:58:17,163
Great idea!
777
00:58:17,188 --> 00:58:20,805
When you get those ornaments
please give me one or two pieces.
778
00:58:21,291 --> 00:58:22,441
Are you crazy?
779
00:58:22,466 --> 00:58:25,356
We are talking about the sacred ornaments.
Gems that are worth millions!
780
00:58:26,337 --> 00:58:27,591
What all desires!
781
00:58:36,245 --> 00:58:39,237
It looks like God does come to
low caste people like us.
782
00:58:39,262 --> 00:58:41,957
Our Chekavan went and took hold
of the Goddess and brought her here.
783
00:58:41,982 --> 00:58:43,754
He went to Vaikathappan temple in disguise
784
00:58:43,779 --> 00:58:45,822
and even learned
how to perform the prayer rituals.
785
00:58:45,847 --> 00:58:47,097
Really?!
786
00:58:47,502 --> 00:58:50,689
[Chanting prayers]
787
00:58:56,252 --> 00:58:58,666
It was indeed a propitious moment
when we received the idol.
788
00:58:59,049 --> 00:59:01,158
On this auspicious day
during the Uttarayan period.
789
00:59:01,823 --> 00:59:05,494
Therefore, you may perform the rituals here
until the temple construction is completed.
790
00:59:09,517 --> 00:59:12,345
Chekavar! The army officials are coming!
791
00:59:34,368 --> 00:59:40,087
For the lower castes who are not allowed
to worship or enter the temple,
792
00:59:40,625 --> 00:59:43,352
building a temple and enshrining an idol
793
00:59:43,493 --> 00:59:46,993
is an evident violation of law
and offence punishable by death.
794
00:59:47,229 --> 00:59:52,362
Arattupuzha Velayudha Chekavar
has committed this heinous crime.
795
00:59:52,665 --> 00:59:58,598
The Minister of Travancore orders the
arrest of Arattupuzha Velayudha Chekavar
796
00:59:58,850 --> 01:00:01,559
who has continuously committed
atrocious crimes
797
01:00:01,584 --> 01:00:07,263
of attacking the authorities and
the police who tried to enforce the law.
798
01:00:09,631 --> 01:00:14,459
There is also an order to shoot and kill
if he tries to resist arrest or escape.
799
01:00:14,826 --> 01:00:18,560
Their strategy is to create a conflict
and somehow kill you.
800
01:00:44,006 --> 01:00:45,185
Beat him!
801
01:00:48,951 --> 01:00:51,545
I will put an end to
him playing the chekavar!
802
01:00:52,185 --> 01:00:53,239
Thrash him!
803
01:00:58,107 --> 01:01:00,451
Nagan Pillai, beat him
until his bones break!
804
01:01:04,130 --> 01:01:05,419
What is it?
Are you scared?
805
01:01:05,498 --> 01:01:07,451
No, Chief, I'm not scared.
806
01:01:07,538 --> 01:01:09,475
I have slight discomfort in my hand.
807
01:01:09,506 --> 01:01:10,584
Move aside!
808
01:01:23,647 --> 01:01:26,256
You said you would maul
the person who hits you!
809
01:01:26,514 --> 01:01:29,577
Try me, if you dare, you bloody rogue!
810
01:01:30,897 --> 01:01:32,038
Hit me!
811
01:01:32,164 --> 01:01:33,772
If you dare, hit me back now!
812
01:02:16,662 --> 01:02:17,810
What is this?
813
01:02:18,444 --> 01:02:19,616
Huh?
814
01:02:24,249 --> 01:02:25,358
Why is this here?
815
01:02:25,539 --> 01:02:26,670
Chief... that...
816
01:02:48,029 --> 01:02:49,350
You take them to court.
817
01:02:49,702 --> 01:02:50,897
I'll come in sometime.
818
01:02:58,467 --> 01:03:01,701
We all have great respect for you, but...
819
01:03:11,178 --> 01:03:13,850
No matter how hungry or thirsty you are,
820
01:03:14,444 --> 01:03:16,600
do not drink even a drop of water
that they give you.
821
01:03:24,412 --> 01:03:25,774
Hope you understood what I meant.
822
01:03:31,912 --> 01:03:33,185
Do you know who that was?
823
01:03:33,538 --> 01:03:35,889
He is the son of Pappu Kurup,
the ex-commander-in-chief...
824
01:03:35,914 --> 01:03:37,203
Kannan Kurup.
825
01:03:37,483 --> 01:03:40,810
People say that it was your father
who killed Pappu Kurup
826
01:03:40,835 --> 01:03:42,967
in the riots that took place in Vaikom.
827
01:03:45,569 --> 01:03:46,733
I know.
828
01:03:54,647 --> 01:03:56,225
Krishna, my Lord...
829
01:03:57,249 --> 01:03:58,553
Please hear my grief.
830
01:03:58,740 --> 01:04:01,068
You know, I go to see Lord Padmanabha
every single day.
831
01:04:02,185 --> 01:04:06,014
But now, I have no right to go
in front of my God.
832
01:04:07,030 --> 01:04:09,749
This devotee will not
go to Padmanabha temple
833
01:04:11,030 --> 01:04:12,801
until the sacred ornaments are recovered.
834
01:04:20,452 --> 01:04:21,756
-Krishnan Thambi...
-My Queen.
835
01:04:21,781 --> 01:04:22,921
Come here.
836
01:04:25,913 --> 01:04:27,241
At your command, my Queen.
837
01:04:27,740 --> 01:04:31,514
Send for Arattupuzha Velayudha Chekavar
and ask him to come see me.
838
01:04:31,913 --> 01:04:34,053
-So, did you not know, my Queen?
-What?
839
01:04:34,249 --> 01:04:36,787
Velayudha Chekavar was handcuffed
and locked up in the dungeon.
840
01:04:36,998 --> 01:04:38,061
Locked up in the dungeon?!
841
01:04:38,086 --> 01:04:40,045
Yes, as per the order of the minister.
842
01:04:46,481 --> 01:04:48,224
This is the beginning of an ablution.
843
01:04:48,622 --> 01:04:52,489
Now no one will dare to even raise a finger
against the royal decrees.
844
01:04:53,318 --> 01:04:55,553
Although I heard that
some people tried to save him.
845
01:04:56,341 --> 01:04:58,364
He is unable to withstand my tactics.
846
01:04:58,582 --> 01:05:01,933
Anyway, you got rid of him in such a way
that no one would even raise a doubt.
847
01:05:02,646 --> 01:05:05,497
You promised to specially consider me.
848
01:05:06,083 --> 01:05:08,144
Nambi, I will make you
the commander-in-chief,
849
01:05:08,169 --> 01:05:11,503
using the special powers
that the King has granted me.
850
01:05:11,972 --> 01:05:13,200
That is enough.
851
01:05:18,130 --> 01:05:19,138
Where is he?
852
01:05:22,981 --> 01:05:24,200
Who's there?
853
01:05:24,911 --> 01:05:26,801
-Chief.
-Where is Velayudhan?
854
01:05:26,826 --> 01:05:28,162
I don't know, milord.
855
01:05:28,187 --> 01:05:30,560
Where is the prison officer, Shambhu Nair?
856
01:05:31,981 --> 01:05:33,208
Shambhu Nair!
857
01:05:35,582 --> 01:05:36,651
Chief...
858
01:05:36,676 --> 01:05:38,770
Where is Velayudhan
who was locked up in this prison?
859
01:05:38,795 --> 01:05:39,951
Velayudhan was released.
860
01:05:40,035 --> 01:05:41,253
Who released him?
861
01:05:41,278 --> 01:05:43,997
The order of the minister came
through a special envoy.
862
01:06:03,465 --> 01:06:04,629
Stop here.
863
01:06:18,505 --> 01:06:22,231
I summoned you to convey
an important matter to you.
864
01:06:22,349 --> 01:06:25,450
I don't know how to thank you
for saving my life, my Queen.
865
01:06:25,786 --> 01:06:30,271
His Highness always says that power should
never be used for revenge.
866
01:06:30,675 --> 01:06:32,013
I have only obeyed it.
867
01:06:32,497 --> 01:06:34,700
Without wasting any time,
shall I tell you something?
868
01:06:34,856 --> 01:06:37,661
Our King is going through a
complete mental breakdown.
869
01:06:37,825 --> 01:06:40,480
He is grief-stricken
that he couldn't retrieve
870
01:06:40,505 --> 01:06:42,543
Lord Padmanabha's sacred ornaments.
871
01:06:42,630 --> 01:06:44,410
What shall I do?
At your command, my Queen.
872
01:06:44,793 --> 01:06:48,661
Those who preach about untouchability and
caste have not been able to find Kochunni.
873
01:06:49,254 --> 01:06:50,589
I know you can do it, Velayudhan.
874
01:06:51,137 --> 01:06:52,817
Do it for His Majesty.
875
01:06:54,074 --> 01:06:55,317
As you command.
876
01:06:58,512 --> 01:07:00,411
Will you be attending
the function this evening?
877
01:07:01,090 --> 01:07:02,136
Do come.
878
01:07:02,419 --> 01:07:05,449
I will inform His Majesty
that you are coming.
879
01:08:05,164 --> 01:08:06,331
Kochunni... quick!
880
01:08:06,373 --> 01:08:07,373
I'll handle him.
881
01:08:40,373 --> 01:08:41,873
I know you are a celebrated thief!
882
01:08:41,998 --> 01:08:44,039
But I didn't expect you to
be so audacious, you dog!
883
01:09:01,998 --> 01:09:04,451
Aren't you the son of Pappu Kurup,
the ex-commander-in-chief?
884
01:09:06,831 --> 01:09:08,873
Yes, I'm Pappu Kurup's son!
885
01:09:15,373 --> 01:09:16,373
Well, I am not surprised!
886
01:09:16,414 --> 01:09:18,664
Pappu Kurup was the
country's most loyal military chief.
887
01:09:18,664 --> 01:09:20,414
His son should definitely
show this courage!
888
01:09:20,498 --> 01:09:22,248
But let me ask you something.
889
01:09:23,289 --> 01:09:25,498
Do you remember the loyalists
of the then king
890
01:09:25,539 --> 01:09:29,206
who threw your father to the low castes
to be beheaded.
891
01:09:37,539 --> 01:09:40,081
Did those who betrayed
and killed your honourable father
892
01:09:40,123 --> 01:09:42,289
ever bother to check in
on your orphaned family?
893
01:09:42,373 --> 01:09:44,998
My father used to tell me
about your mother's plight,
894
01:09:45,039 --> 01:09:48,164
how she was struggling
to raise you and your little sister.
895
01:09:48,789 --> 01:09:51,248
I don't want to hear sermons from a thief!
896
01:10:01,081 --> 01:10:02,373
I am not giving any sermons!
897
01:10:02,706 --> 01:10:04,581
I am only telling the truth!
898
01:10:04,748 --> 01:10:07,289
I was the one who brought food
packets for your starving family.
899
01:10:07,331 --> 01:10:09,998
That mainour is worth millions!
900
01:10:10,414 --> 01:10:12,164
I will give you half of it, Inspector sir.
901
01:10:12,623 --> 01:10:14,206
This is Kochunni's word.
902
01:10:14,206 --> 01:10:15,998
What do you think of me, huh?
903
01:10:32,248 --> 01:10:36,706
Don't! Trust my word for the sake of
your mother and little sister!
904
01:10:37,789 --> 01:10:41,039
Money holds great value in front of these
wicked upper class people.
905
01:10:41,998 --> 01:10:44,289
You will never get
a better opportunity than this.

-What is your name?

961
01:15:31,456 --> 01:15:33,081
Do you know Kayamkulam Kochunni?
962
01:15:33,664 --> 01:15:34,748
Um...
963
01:15:34,789 --> 01:15:35,998
Has he ever come here?
964
01:15:37,539 --> 01:15:39,206
How will we know, Chekavar?
965
01:15:39,539 --> 01:15:40,998
He is mostly in the forest.
966
01:15:40,998 --> 01:15:43,956
Whoever goes through the forest,
he steals their money and jewels.
967
01:15:43,998 --> 01:15:45,039
That is his job!
968
01:15:45,081 --> 01:15:48,914
Oho! Is that why you stood
in the bull market and declared,
969
01:15:49,414 --> 01:15:53,164
"Kochunni is the God who steals money
from the rich and gives it to the poor".
970
01:15:53,414 --> 01:15:54,914
-I meant...
-Tell me!
971
01:15:57,456 --> 01:15:58,498
I said, tell me!
972
01:15:58,664 --> 01:16:00,123
Forgive me, Chekavar.
973
01:16:00,289 --> 01:16:02,123
I said that because
I was afraid for my life.
974
01:16:02,164 --> 01:16:04,289
When we are hungry, he gives us food.
975
01:16:04,539 --> 01:16:06,706
And I'm someone who is always hungry.
976
01:16:07,081 --> 01:16:09,206
A person who feeds one morsel to
977
01:16:09,831 --> 01:16:11,539
a starving person is indeed a god.
978
01:16:12,039 --> 01:16:14,331
But isn't it wrong to
accept money and goods
979
01:16:14,498 --> 01:16:15,706
looted and stolen from others?
980
01:16:16,498 --> 01:16:18,081
Once a thief, always a thief!
Isn't it?
981
01:16:18,123 --> 01:16:19,581
We were dying from hunger, sir.
982
01:16:19,581 --> 01:16:21,206
That's why we accepted what he gave us.
983
01:16:21,331 --> 01:16:22,873
I understand your misery.
984
01:16:23,914 --> 01:16:25,664
None of you will starve ever again.
985
01:16:26,539 --> 01:16:27,664
Look over there.
986
01:16:33,289 --> 01:16:34,456
These are not stolen goods.
987
01:16:35,039 --> 01:16:36,581
I bought it with my hard-earned money.
988
01:16:36,998 --> 01:16:38,206
For you!
989
01:16:39,331 --> 01:16:42,039
Now tell me, which hut is Kochunni in?
990
01:16:42,623 --> 01:16:43,748
Tell the truth!
991
01:16:44,164 --> 01:16:46,998
I swear on my little kids,
Kochunni is not here.
992
01:16:47,164 --> 01:16:48,539
We swear to God.
993
01:16:49,248 --> 01:16:51,039
What we said is the truth, Milord--
994
01:16:52,081 --> 01:16:53,623
You damn trickster!
995
01:16:54,498 --> 01:16:55,664
I'll chop off your head.
996
01:16:55,664 --> 01:16:57,164
Tell me the truth, where is Kochunni?
997
01:16:58,581 --> 01:17:00,414
Ko... Kochunni had come here.
998
01:17:00,789 --> 01:17:02,914
But he left before dawn.
999
01:17:02,914 --> 01:17:04,664
And the woman who came with him,
who is she?
1000
01:17:04,664 --> 01:17:07,873
She is one of his mistresses, Kaatha.
1001
01:17:08,164 --> 01:17:09,498
Where did they go?
1002
01:17:09,539 --> 01:17:12,081
To Kaatha's hut in Karthikapalli.
1003
01:17:12,373 --> 01:17:14,748
Chekavar, if Kochunni finds out
that I told you this,
1004
01:17:14,914 --> 01:17:16,081
he will kill me!
1005
01:17:16,456 --> 01:17:17,623
I'll protect you.
1006
01:17:18,539 --> 01:17:20,289
We are heading out to Karthikapalli.
1007
01:17:20,456 --> 01:17:21,456
Make it fast!
1008
01:17:21,623 --> 01:17:23,956
I'll join you by the time
you locate Kaatha's house.
1009
01:17:31,706 --> 01:17:33,248
Can I trust you, Chathan?
1010
01:17:33,331 --> 01:17:35,914
Chekavar, you helped us out of our misery.
1011
01:17:36,123 --> 01:17:37,414
We will never lie to you again!
1012
01:17:38,331 --> 01:17:40,664
Let me know whatever you need.
1013
01:18:00,414 --> 01:18:01,414
Kaatha!
1014
01:18:01,456 --> 01:18:03,248
Do you have any idea
what just happened here?
1015
01:18:03,248 --> 01:18:04,248
What?
1016
01:18:04,289 --> 01:18:05,623
It was our luck that we escaped!
1017
01:18:05,623 --> 01:18:07,456
Chekavar and his troupe had come knowing
1018
01:18:07,456 --> 01:18:09,164
that you and Kochunni got here yesterday.
1019
01:18:09,456 --> 01:18:10,539
So, my dear Kaatha,
1020
01:18:10,581 --> 01:18:13,581
no matter what happens,
please don't go out of this hut!
1021
01:18:13,581 --> 01:18:14,789
-You heard me, right?
-Yes.
1022
01:18:22,914 --> 01:18:24,081
Eh?!
1023
01:18:44,581 --> 01:18:45,664
Are you Kaatha?
1024
01:18:47,123 --> 01:18:49,123
-Where's Kochunni?
-I don't know.
1025
01:18:50,373 --> 01:18:52,956
Kochunni dropped me here and left.
1026
01:18:53,164 --> 01:18:54,206
Why did he come here?
1027
01:18:54,289 --> 01:18:55,331
Because...
1028
01:18:55,539 --> 01:18:59,706
Kochunni said that the Nair army
would come searching for me in my house.
1029
01:19:03,539 --> 01:19:05,206
That chain is studded with gems.
1030
01:19:05,748 --> 01:19:06,998
Did Kochunni give it to you?
1031
01:19:08,664 --> 01:19:09,914
-Mm...
-Tell me the truth.
1032
01:19:10,456 --> 01:19:11,789
Where did Kochunni go?
1033
01:19:25,373 --> 01:19:26,748
-Are we here?
-Yes.
1034
01:19:28,248 --> 01:19:29,373
Come, Mr. Looper.
1035
01:19:29,414 --> 01:19:30,498
Are you sure?
1036
01:19:30,748 --> 01:19:31,914
Yes, trust me.
1037
01:19:35,706 --> 01:19:36,831
I don't know.
1038
01:19:37,039 --> 01:19:38,123
Come.
1039
01:19:44,414 --> 01:19:45,623
Hey, careful.
1040
01:19:53,623 --> 01:19:55,331
This place seems to be haunted.
1041
01:19:55,789 --> 01:19:57,414
A bit scary, don't you think?
1042
01:19:57,623 --> 01:19:58,831
Don't worry, Mr Looper.
1043
01:19:59,123 --> 01:20:00,289
It is worth the risk.
1044
01:20:00,623 --> 01:20:02,539
You won't be able to dream of such a deal.
1045
01:20:10,498 --> 01:20:12,831
This is Kayamkulam Kochunni, our partner.
1046
01:20:13,581 --> 01:20:14,706
Please come.
1047
01:20:16,539 --> 01:20:18,123
Kochunni, meet Mr Looper.
1048
01:20:18,914 --> 01:20:22,331
He is someone who exports ivory
and antiques to England and France.
1049
01:20:27,789 --> 01:20:28,831
Shall I open?
1050
01:20:31,914 --> 01:20:34,164
Wow! Unbelievable!
1051
01:20:36,498 --> 01:20:37,623
Have a look, Mr Looper.
1052
01:20:37,831 --> 01:20:39,664
Mr Kannan Kurup...
1053
01:20:40,123 --> 01:20:42,081
This is priceless!
1054
01:20:42,456 --> 01:20:43,748
It's incredible.
1055
01:20:50,164 --> 01:20:54,101
If we can smuggle this out to England
and sell it all,
1056
01:20:54,373 --> 01:20:57,998
all three of us will be richer
than the King of Travancore.
1057
01:21:00,289 --> 01:21:01,706
What's this foreigner saying?
1058
01:21:01,706 --> 01:21:03,331
If we sell this in England,
1059
01:21:03,331 --> 01:21:05,748
the three of us will become
richer than the king himself.
1060
01:21:05,789 --> 01:21:06,873
Oh!
1061
01:21:12,581 --> 01:21:13,664
Someone is coming here.
1062
01:21:20,998 --> 01:21:22,373
It is Arattupuzha Velayudhan.
1063
01:21:22,748 --> 01:21:24,664
He must have come
knowing that Kochunni is here.
1064
01:21:25,289 --> 01:21:26,914
How did that jerk reach here?
1065
01:21:26,998 --> 01:21:28,039
Give it here!
1066
01:22:22,555 --> 01:22:23,798
Come this way.
1067
01:24:15,081 --> 01:24:16,331
Come with me!
1068
01:24:38,956 --> 01:24:40,914
Apparently, Kayamkulam
Kochunni will even steal
1069
01:24:40,914 --> 01:24:43,081
God's sacred ornaments if he wants to.
1070
01:24:43,289 --> 01:24:44,331
Is that right?
1071
01:24:45,039 --> 01:24:47,206
Aren't you the holiest thief in this land?
1072
01:24:48,039 --> 01:24:49,914
A god to the poor and needy!
1073
01:24:50,664 --> 01:24:53,289
But no one knows your real face.
1074
01:24:53,956 --> 01:24:58,123
You donate a portion of what you get
by murdering, looting, and stealing
1075
01:24:58,331 --> 01:25:00,164
to the hungry and destitute.
1076
01:25:00,581 --> 01:25:03,331
In turn, you buy the loyalty and
allegiance of those innocent souls!
1077
01:25:03,914 --> 01:25:07,706
And using them as a cover,
you continue to steal again and again!
1078
01:25:08,081 --> 01:25:09,373
That's because I am smart!
1079
01:25:09,414 --> 01:25:13,748
Yes, you are so smart that you put the
sacred ornaments on your mistress's neck!
1080
01:25:14,414 --> 01:25:15,664
The smartness of a petty thief!
1081
01:25:15,706 --> 01:25:18,789
Chekavar, just because you have taken up
the mantle to fight for the rights of
1082
01:25:18,789 --> 01:25:21,498
lower caste women to wear
dhotis and cover their breasts,
1083
01:25:21,498 --> 01:25:23,331
don't you dare come at
me with your rebellion!
1084
01:25:23,456 --> 01:25:25,539
I'll thrash you to death
and hang you in this jungle.
1085
01:25:25,581 --> 01:25:28,081
All this while,
I tolerated your wicked crimes
1086
01:25:28,123 --> 01:25:30,623
because you belonged to the lower caste.
1087
01:25:31,498 --> 01:25:33,164
Also, why I never came looking for you!
1088
01:25:33,748 --> 01:25:36,456
But you had the audacity to steal
Lord Padmanabha's sacred ornaments
1089
01:25:36,456 --> 01:25:37,914
and I won't leave here without you!
1090
01:26:09,831 --> 01:26:11,373
Are we leaving without the jewels?
1091
01:26:11,414 --> 01:26:12,914
Let's save our lives first.
1092
01:26:12,956 --> 01:26:14,039
That's right.
1093
01:27:35,866 --> 01:27:38,366
Velayudhan Chekavar has captured
Kochunni, the thief!
1094
01:27:38,391 --> 01:27:40,795
Velayudhan Chekavar has captured
Kochunni, the thief!
1095
01:27:40,820 --> 01:27:43,506
Velayudhan Chekavar has captured
Kochunni, the thief!
1096
01:27:50,561 --> 01:27:51,819
-Chekavar...
-Mm?
1097
01:27:52,030 --> 01:27:54,326
That is Lady Savithri
and her sister, Janaki.
1098
01:27:56,490 --> 01:27:57,850
Oh, they came this far?
1099
01:27:57,937 --> 01:28:00,905
They wouldn't have missed it for anything!
She is a huge admirer of yours!
1100
01:28:08,756 --> 01:28:10,843
Velayudhan Chekavar has captured
Kochunni, the thief!
1101
01:28:10,868 --> 01:28:13,499
O Lord Padmanabha...
You have saved me!
1102
01:28:14,514 --> 01:28:16,217
It is Velayudhan who saved us now.
1103
01:28:17,382 --> 01:28:20,655
Panikkar, will you be replaced by
Velayudhan as the new commander-in-chief?
1104
01:28:23,295 --> 01:28:25,101
Look at that smugness on his face!
1105
01:28:25,126 --> 01:28:27,084
The arrogance, just because
he captured Kochunni!
1106
01:28:29,171 --> 01:28:30,647
We can't just let this go!
1107
01:28:32,717 --> 01:28:33,811
Your Majesty,
1108
01:28:34,101 --> 01:28:36,945
those women with Velayudhan have covered
their chests.
1109
01:28:36,999 --> 01:28:38,928
It is against the existing law.
1110
01:28:39,482 --> 01:28:41,405
Kindly command what should be done.
1111
01:28:42,765 --> 01:28:45,905
His damn parade with those low lives!
1112
01:28:45,930 --> 01:28:47,077
Insolent man!
1113
01:28:52,202 --> 01:28:55,171
Your Majesty, this is a violation of
law and it is right before your eyes!
1114
01:28:56,123 --> 01:28:57,842
This should not be allowed, Your Majesty!
1115
01:29:01,062 --> 01:29:03,772
In 1812, during the reign of
Rani Gowri Lakshmi Bayi,
1116
01:29:03,797 --> 01:29:07,038
wasn't there a declaration
that there was nothing wrong
1117
01:29:07,063 --> 01:29:08,749
with these women covering their breasts?
1118
01:29:09,101 --> 01:29:11,734
But some of you, landlords,
did not accept it.
1119
01:29:12,225 --> 01:29:13,319
Isn't that the truth?
1120
01:29:13,866 --> 01:29:15,960
Hence, that law still continues!
1121
01:29:16,757 --> 01:29:18,733
Anyway, what our entire army couldn't do,
1122
01:29:18,866 --> 01:29:20,257
Velayudhan managed to do it alone!
1123
01:29:20,609 --> 01:29:22,186
Let us not bother about anything else.
1124
01:29:22,406 --> 01:29:23,710
But welcome him with open arms.
1125
01:29:24,147 --> 01:29:25,663
Let Kochunni remain in chains.
1126
01:29:26,984 --> 01:29:29,178
And summon Velayudha Chekavar here.
1127
01:29:29,530 --> 01:29:30,655
As you command.
1128
01:29:31,991 --> 01:29:33,209
Nambi, come with me.
1129
01:29:34,991 --> 01:29:36,796
You go first, Kurup.
I'll follow you.
1130
01:29:55,295 --> 01:29:56,574
-Get going!
-Hey!
1131
01:29:58,546 --> 01:29:59,753
Let go of me!
1132
01:30:02,990 --> 01:30:04,730
Velayudha Chekavar, you may come closer!
1133
01:30:05,324 --> 01:30:07,988
To Velayudha Chekavar, who protected
the pride of the royal family
1134
01:30:08,013 --> 01:30:10,655
and saved me from
the curse of Lord Padmanabha,
1135
01:30:11,023 --> 01:30:13,521
I reward you with
the honorary ornament, 'Veera Shringhala'
1136
01:30:13,546 --> 01:30:14,999
and 1008 gold coins.
1137
01:30:28,015 --> 01:30:29,179
Don't do it, Your Highness!
1138
01:30:30,670 --> 01:30:31,896
This shouldn't be done.
1139
01:30:32,366 --> 01:30:33,935
We must follow the untouchability laws.
1140
01:30:33,991 --> 01:30:35,366
You may give the reward.
1141
01:30:35,639 --> 01:30:39,030
But His Majesty, Himself
should not defy the customs.
1142
01:30:39,055 --> 01:30:40,726
Your Majesty, that is the rule.
1143
01:30:40,991 --> 01:30:42,155
That's right, Your Highness.
1144
01:30:42,453 --> 01:30:44,186
You Yourself should not break the rules,
1145
01:30:44,608 --> 01:30:46,272
especially in front of your subjects.
1146
01:30:55,187 --> 01:30:56,601
Hey, you, Commander-in-chief!
1147
01:30:56,874 --> 01:30:59,162
Take that reward and keep it on the steps.
1148
01:30:59,625 --> 01:31:01,553
Then ask him to pick it up from there.
1149
01:31:17,022 --> 01:31:18,022
Your Majesty...
1150
01:31:19,242 --> 01:31:21,428
I didn't do this for the gold coins.
1151
01:31:21,936 --> 01:31:23,288
But for You, my King.
1152
01:31:25,756 --> 01:31:27,464
Our commander-in-chief, Pachu Panikkar may
1153
01:31:27,489 --> 01:31:29,331
take this and use it for
his medical expenses.
1154
01:31:29,646 --> 01:31:31,928
You were roughed up pretty badly
by Kochunni, weren't you?
1155
01:31:31,953 --> 01:31:33,553
Don't you dare show your arrogance here!
1156
01:31:33,578 --> 01:31:34,803
-Panikkar!
-Your Majesty...
1157
01:31:34,828 --> 01:31:37,709
How dare you insult the person who
was called to be honoured here today?
1158
01:31:39,333 --> 01:31:41,637
Velayudha Chekavar bravely
accomplished what could not be
1159
01:31:41,662 --> 01:31:44,113
achieved by Commander-in-chief,
Pachu Panikkar and his army.
1160
01:31:44,138 --> 01:31:47,911
Therefore, I hereby honour him
by conferring the title of 'Panikkar'.
1161
01:31:52,270 --> 01:31:54,762
From this day,
you are not 'Velayudha Chekavar',
1162
01:31:55,035 --> 01:31:56,260
but 'Velayudha Panikkar.'
1163
01:32:01,076 --> 01:32:02,678
Chekavar got the title of Panikkar!
1164
01:32:21,576 --> 01:32:22,576
Hello, gentlemen.
1165
01:32:22,601 --> 01:32:24,028
-Hello, good morning.
-Good morning.
1166
01:32:24,053 --> 01:32:26,287
So, tell me, what's the plan for today?
1167
01:32:26,326 --> 01:32:28,654
-I have 15 ships like these.
-Alright.
1168
01:32:28,679 --> 01:32:30,827
Four of them are on the way
to Portugal with goods.
1169
01:32:31,381 --> 01:32:33,646
Six are on their way back
from Persia after unloading.
1170
01:32:34,294 --> 01:32:35,747
-Must be halfway.
-Sounds good.
1171
01:32:36,013 --> 01:32:38,997
Do you think the loaded pepper
is ready to leave the port today?
1172
01:32:39,638 --> 01:32:41,677
-Hopefully, by tomorrow afternoon.
-Very good.
1173
01:32:41,951 --> 01:32:44,255
If weather permits,
it will reach before time.
1174
01:32:44,372 --> 01:32:45,443
Thank you.
1175
01:32:46,185 --> 01:32:50,474
We will be back in about...
hmm... six months for the next load.
1176
01:32:50,529 --> 01:32:51,568
So, until then...
1177
01:32:51,669 --> 01:32:52,686
Sure.
1178
01:32:52,711 --> 01:32:54,818
-Thank you.
-Thank you so much, gentlemen. Please...
1179
01:32:57,348 --> 01:32:58,497
-Things were very nice.
-Yes.
1180
01:32:58,997 --> 01:33:00,325
-Thank you.
-You are welcome.
1181
01:33:00,466 --> 01:33:01,513
-Good day.
-Good day.
1182
01:33:05,209 --> 01:33:06,232
Let's go!
1183
01:33:19,462 --> 01:33:20,658
What brings you two here?
1184
01:33:20,683 --> 01:33:21,775
Nangeli will explain.
1185
01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:23,693
It's regarding the matter
I mentioned yesterday.
1186
01:33:23,833 --> 01:33:24,849
Milady is also with us.
1187
01:33:25,502 --> 01:33:26,565
Where?
1188
01:33:27,134 --> 01:33:28,658
Milady... Please come.
1189
01:33:39,174 --> 01:33:41,807
She is afraid that someone will see her.
1190
01:33:41,931 --> 01:33:43,931
You know what would happen
if anyone sees her here!
1191
01:33:43,956 --> 01:33:46,674
You don't need to be afraid of anyone here.
They are all our people.
1192
01:33:52,236 --> 01:33:54,174
I have something to tell you.
1193
01:33:55,494 --> 01:33:58,194
Eshwaran Namboothiri will
come again with the nuptial sari tomorrow.
1194
01:33:58,219 --> 01:34:02,127
I would rather kill myself than
marry that old man.
1195
01:34:04,002 --> 01:34:05,901
Aren't you a great warrior and saviour?
1196
01:34:06,627 --> 01:34:08,635
Can you somehow save me?
1197
01:34:08,955 --> 01:34:10,580
Nangeli has told me everything.
1198
01:34:11,821 --> 01:34:13,641
I am on a crusade to
end the hellish suffering
1199
01:34:13,666 --> 01:34:15,486
of Ezhavas and all other lower castes.
1200
01:34:16,275 --> 01:34:17,643
It is not to make my life better.
1201
01:34:18,072 --> 01:34:20,533
There is an elite class who are
not happy with my interference
1202
01:34:20,558 --> 01:34:22,564
and are waiting for an
opportunity to eliminate me.
1203
01:34:23,976 --> 01:34:26,741
And if I am found to be meddling
in the affairs of Nair women,
1204
01:34:27,057 --> 01:34:30,166
even the King, who shows some fondness
towards me will turn into my adversary.
1205
01:34:31,392 --> 01:34:33,124
Do you understand what I am saying, Milady?
1206
01:34:35,174 --> 01:34:36,690
Your mission is noble and great.
1207
01:34:37,651 --> 01:34:40,343
It is for the sake of the lives
of thousands of poor people.
1208
01:34:42,033 --> 01:34:43,408
I never thought about that.
1209
01:34:44,783 --> 01:34:47,916
You shouldn't stray away from your
greater purpose for a girl like me.
1210
01:34:50,213 --> 01:34:51,815
Apologies for the trouble.
1211
01:34:58,705 --> 01:35:02,697
She had hoped that she would
get help from you as a last resort.
1212
01:35:04,338 --> 01:35:06,705
I think she has understood
the gravity of what I said.
1213
01:35:07,783 --> 01:35:10,634
Once you decide to become the voice of
the enslaved and of the outcaste,
1214
01:35:11,017 --> 01:35:12,697
you should remain focussed on your goal!
1215
01:35:28,034 --> 01:35:29,626
At least smile, Savithri.
1216
01:35:30,323 --> 01:35:31,595
If not, Mother will be upset.
1217
01:35:35,549 --> 01:35:38,470
This is our custom.
What choice do we have but follow it.
1218
01:35:39,306 --> 01:35:42,072
It seems, even though the lord is aged,
he is quite capable and smart.
1219
01:35:43,166 --> 01:35:45,783
If I ever decide not to want something.
1220
01:35:46,017 --> 01:35:49,337
I will never go back
to that thing ever again.
1221
01:35:49,775 --> 01:35:51,048
He's pretty stubborn like that.
1222
01:35:51,073 --> 01:35:52,073
But today!
1223
01:35:52,165 --> 01:35:54,901
Do you know the reason
I am back here again?
1224
01:35:54,955 --> 01:35:56,080
Uh, no. I don't.
1225
01:35:56,409 --> 01:36:00,737
That dance performance at the
wedding ceremony of the young prince.
1226
01:36:00,762 --> 01:36:02,659
I was completely enthralled by it!
1227
01:36:03,174 --> 01:36:07,338
Aroused by love and lust,
I have been enamoured and fascinated!
1228
01:36:08,250 --> 01:36:09,945
Do you know whose dance it was?
1229
01:36:09,970 --> 01:36:10,994
Do you know?!
1230
01:36:11,019 --> 01:36:12,463
Our Thathri kutty's!
1231
01:36:13,345 --> 01:36:15,767
Not Thathri, it is Savithri.
She is back from her shower.
1232
01:36:16,065 --> 01:36:19,213
Aha! Then let's begin the ceremony.
1233
01:36:19,705 --> 01:36:21,002
Shall we, Thanu Pillai?
1234
01:36:21,580 --> 01:36:23,572
As you wish, Milord.
1235
01:36:24,064 --> 01:36:27,040
Also, we have prepared
a small feast for you here.
1236
01:36:27,455 --> 01:36:28,603
You may eat it yourselves.
1237
01:36:29,025 --> 01:36:31,213
We have brought food for lord from home.
1238
01:36:31,470 --> 01:36:32,971
Don't you know it, Thanu Pillai?
1239
01:36:32,996 --> 01:36:34,789
One can have any number of such sambandhams
1240
01:36:34,814 --> 01:36:37,039
but everything and everyone
else is still untouchable.
1241
01:36:38,643 --> 01:36:40,955
You are the true embodiment of beauty.
1242
01:36:41,166 --> 01:36:43,306
A real goddess of lust!
1243
01:36:44,010 --> 01:36:48,518
Why do you still have your
breast cloth and dhoti on?
1244
01:36:48,588 --> 01:36:50,158
Take them off.
1245
01:36:55,087 --> 01:36:59,080
Your eyes are cupid's arrows!
1246
01:36:59,524 --> 01:37:01,946
Come closer to me, Savithri.
1247
01:37:02,174 --> 01:37:04,182
Let me savour your beauty.
1248
01:37:06,151 --> 01:37:07,166
Come...
1249
01:37:08,515 --> 01:37:09,604
Come...
1250
01:37:12,158 --> 01:37:13,479
Come, Savithri...
1251
01:37:14,112 --> 01:37:15,573
We have no time to waste.
1252
01:37:15,877 --> 01:37:16,893
Please be seated, Milord.
1253
01:37:16,918 --> 01:37:18,744
Let me get some betel
leaves and nuts for you.
1254
01:37:18,769 --> 01:37:22,628
First, let me savour you,
before I savour that!
1255
01:39:05,416 --> 01:39:06,502
What's wrong, dear?
1256
01:39:08,103 --> 01:39:09,259
The lord is no more.
1257
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:39,791
Oh! You came?
1258
01:39:43,518 --> 01:39:46,158
You betrayed me and saved yourself.
1259
01:39:46,502 --> 01:39:48,353
I did not betray you, Kochunni.
1260
01:39:49,143 --> 01:39:51,858
Never in my wildest dreams did I think
Velayudhan would reach there.
1261
01:39:51,883 --> 01:39:54,421
Trust me, I never go back on my word.
1262
01:39:54,494 --> 01:39:57,705
I believed in your loyalty
which is why I didn't expose you.
1263
01:39:57,924 --> 01:40:03,033
Or else, before they hung me,
they would have hanged you for treason.
1264
01:40:03,150 --> 01:40:04,212
I know.
1265
01:40:04,580 --> 01:40:06,228
I'll always show that loyalty to you.
1266
01:40:11,096 --> 01:40:13,354
Don't be afraid because
we lost the sacred ornaments.
1267
01:40:14,690 --> 01:40:17,198
I have all the money we may need.
1268
01:40:17,580 --> 01:40:22,439
There is a 'mother tree' full of vines
behind the Kali temple in Vavva forest.
1269
01:40:23,065 --> 01:40:25,142
If you dig beneath it,
towards the southern side,
1270
01:40:25,502 --> 01:40:27,369
you will find gold coins
wrapped in silk cloth.
1271
01:40:28,401 --> 01:40:31,322
And those coins are for you, my friend,
who came to my rescue.
1272
01:40:31,923 --> 01:40:33,025
Go and take it!
1273
01:40:33,143 --> 01:40:35,392
And in return,
you should kill that Velayudhan!
1274
01:40:35,486 --> 01:40:37,642
Nambi and Kaimal,
who have taken bribes from me,
1275
01:40:37,667 --> 01:40:39,993
refuse to save me now because
they are scared of him!
1276
01:40:41,752 --> 01:40:43,939
The great Pappu Kurup's son must help me.
1277
01:40:46,830 --> 01:40:49,071
Someone is coming.
It will be done as per our discussion.
1278
01:40:56,877 --> 01:40:58,008
Neeli...
1279
01:41:04,578 --> 01:41:06,507
How much for the high-quality
white cotton cloth?
1280
01:41:06,532 --> 01:41:07,578
500.
1281
01:41:07,642 --> 01:41:08,653
500!
1282
01:41:08,849 --> 01:41:10,337
And the one with the golden border?
1283
01:41:10,362 --> 01:41:11,362
300.
1284
01:41:11,387 --> 01:41:12,564
-How much?
-300.
1285
01:41:12,589 --> 01:41:13,614
300!
1286
01:41:13,860 --> 01:41:15,993
Look at them standing there
with their chests covered.
1287
01:41:16,018 --> 01:41:17,094
Confront them!
1288
01:41:18,455 --> 01:41:22,408
Seems like Nangeli is reigning Cherthala
like how Maveli ruled Kerala?
1289
01:41:24,252 --> 01:41:25,830
Why do you say that, Milord?
1290
01:41:25,869 --> 01:41:30,494
You all stand there with your chests
covered, behaving all ladylike!
1291
01:41:30,603 --> 01:41:31,674
That's why I asked.
1292
01:41:31,699 --> 01:41:33,503
If you like looking at
them so much, Milord,
1293
01:41:33,528 --> 01:41:35,649
why don't you keep your lady
beside you at all times?
1294
01:41:35,698 --> 01:41:37,597
You can look at them
whenever you feel like it!
1295
01:41:37,622 --> 01:41:38,769
Hey, you! Enough!
1296
01:41:39,987 --> 01:41:44,541
It was during the pursuit of that feeling
when the King's adviser met his end.
1297
01:41:45,400 --> 01:41:48,526
Apparently, even the King was shocked
to hear of Eshwaran Namboothiri's death.
1298
01:41:48,666 --> 01:41:51,158
At 91 years,
he went for his 24th sambandham!
1299
01:41:51,690 --> 01:41:53,190
So lucky, wasn't he, Karunan?
1300
01:41:53,424 --> 01:41:54,447
Undoubtedly!
1301
01:41:55,518 --> 01:41:56,783
Looks like she didn't like it!
1302
01:41:56,808 --> 01:41:58,783
Neeli, I'm going home.
1303
01:41:58,876 --> 01:42:00,987
Father is sick.
Need to go home early.
1304
01:42:01,916 --> 01:42:03,432
Nangeli, I'll also come with you.
1305
01:42:03,673 --> 01:42:04,681
Hey, you!
1306
01:42:04,799 --> 01:42:06,408
It's best you don't go behind that girl!
1307
01:42:06,549 --> 01:42:08,159
The Nair army might chop off your head.
1308
01:42:08,323 --> 01:42:09,807
Please don't call upon evil, Milord.
1309
01:42:11,211 --> 01:42:13,109
This has weaving defects,
I won't pay for this.
1310
01:42:13,213 --> 01:42:14,255
And this as well.
1311
01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:15,968
There is nothing wrong with this, Milord.
1312
01:42:15,993 --> 01:42:17,157
It is just one thread defect.
1313
01:42:17,198 --> 01:42:18,213
One thread defect?!
1314
01:42:18,238 --> 01:42:21,026
Even half a thread defect is
enough for the ladies to toss it out!
1315
01:42:21,356 --> 01:42:23,395
Can we take this to wear it, Milord?
1316
01:42:23,781 --> 01:42:26,807
We weave all day long and
you don't even pay us any money.
1317
01:42:27,101 --> 01:42:29,591
You should thank your stars
that these elite class ladies
1318
01:42:29,616 --> 01:42:31,284
wear the garments woven by you.
1319
01:42:31,609 --> 01:42:33,054
This one seems fine too.
1320
01:42:33,648 --> 01:42:34,913
We will wear them.
1321
01:42:35,477 --> 01:42:37,859
At least we can save our dhoti's money.
1322
01:42:38,209 --> 01:42:39,615
Once you finish weaving the cloth,
1323
01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:41,476
you lot are not even
supposed to touch them!
1324
01:42:41,906 --> 01:42:44,021
So, we can use our hands
to weave but not touch?
1325
01:42:44,046 --> 01:42:45,117
That's right.
1326
01:42:45,142 --> 01:42:48,153
Anyway, this cloth was discarded
by the lords. Let's take them.
1327
01:42:53,781 --> 01:42:54,851
Isn't it nice, Neeli?
1328
01:42:54,876 --> 01:42:59,132
Yes! All we need is a necklace
and earrings to complete the look!
1329
01:42:59,586 --> 01:43:01,079
And some jasmine flowers in the hair!
1330
01:43:02,250 --> 01:43:04,710
Hurry up, my son
will be crying of hunger there.
1331
01:43:05,036 --> 01:43:06,755
We didn't make any food at home yesterday.
1332
01:43:06,780 --> 01:43:09,109
My Goddess! So, you didn't give your son
anything to eat?
1333
01:43:09,249 --> 01:43:11,788
There were a bunch of ripened bananas
in the Aayirapadam field.
1334
01:43:11,882 --> 01:43:14,725
When no one was looking, my mother
plucked two bananas and gave my son.
1335
01:43:14,750 --> 01:43:16,398
Neeli's husband doesn't go to work?
1336
01:43:17,476 --> 01:43:19,250
So, you don't know anything?
1337
01:43:19,275 --> 01:43:20,906
You don't live in this place or what?
1338
01:43:24,150 --> 01:43:27,157
We only moved here recently from Punnamada,
during the paddy harvest season.
1339
01:43:27,182 --> 01:43:30,610
The masters captured him
for not paying the fishing net tax.
1340
01:43:31,086 --> 01:43:36,101
Then those devils hanged poor Kunjan
to death in the four-way junction.
1341
01:43:36,632 --> 01:43:37,860
My Goddess!
1342
01:43:48,413 --> 01:43:50,437
Oh, my Goddess...
1343
01:43:50,820 --> 01:43:52,516
You betrayed me!
1344
01:43:52,813 --> 01:43:55,984
Look at my Kunjaappu!
1345
01:43:58,273 --> 01:43:59,507
O Lords!
1346
01:44:00,382 --> 01:44:02,840
You killed my husband!
1347
01:44:08,867 --> 01:44:10,578
He deserves this punishment.
1348
01:44:11,578 --> 01:44:14,219
Fishing net tax, ladder tax,
breast tax, head tax...
1349
01:44:14,375 --> 01:44:16,711
To all the defaulters of these taxes...
1350
01:44:17,141 --> 01:44:19,664
let this execution be a lesson!
1351
01:44:22,578 --> 01:44:23,663
Please don't cry, Neeli.
1352
01:44:23,688 --> 01:44:26,984
You are the one who tells us to be strong.
1353
01:44:27,234 --> 01:44:30,297
We are born only to suffer and cry.
1354
01:44:33,640 --> 01:44:35,046
It's her, that witch!
1355
01:44:35,640 --> 01:44:37,367
The one who swung the scythe and escaped.
1356
01:44:37,392 --> 01:44:40,617
Look at her walking around like a haughty
princess wearing golden bordered cloth!
1357
01:44:48,218 --> 01:44:50,375
-Catch them!
-Run!
1358
01:44:52,813 --> 01:44:54,281
Catch them!
1359
01:44:54,391 --> 01:44:56,070
-Come here.
-Leave me!
1360
01:44:56,469 --> 01:44:58,398
-Master...
-You arrogant woman! Walk
1361
01:44:59,578 --> 01:45:00,719
Don't beat us!
1362
01:45:02,008 --> 01:45:03,289
Keep walking!
1363
01:45:06,859 --> 01:45:08,421
-Walk fast!
-Don't beat us!
1364
01:45:17,765 --> 01:45:18,945
Read the order.
1365
01:45:20,272 --> 01:45:24,961
Lower castes have no right to wear
clothes that cover up their ankles.
1366
01:45:25,069 --> 01:45:30,811
For violating this rule, these women will
have their ankles branded by hot iron rods.
1367
01:46:42,374 --> 01:46:44,708
This is the first time
we are doing business with Greece.
1368
01:46:44,733 --> 01:46:46,592
I hope everyone remembers
what you need to do
1369
01:46:46,624 --> 01:46:48,654
and the rules you should follow
once you are there.
1370
01:46:48,774 --> 01:46:51,610
It will be high tide by the time
you reach the shores of Greece.
1371
01:46:52,451 --> 01:46:54,068
The auspicious moment has arrived.
1372
01:47:04,828 --> 01:47:06,008
Chekavar...
1373
01:47:06,062 --> 01:47:10,929
-Chekavar...
-Chekavar...
1374
01:47:13,591 --> 01:47:15,193
Help us, Chekavar...
1375
01:47:15,661 --> 01:47:17,174
Look at this, Chekavar...
1376
01:47:17,450 --> 01:47:19,825
-Save us, Chekavar!
-Oh God! What is this!
1377
01:47:24,426 --> 01:47:25,653
Look at them, Chekavar!
1378
01:47:29,677 --> 01:47:31,349
Tell me, what happened?
1379
01:47:31,833 --> 01:47:35,207
The lords chopped off their noses
for wearing nose rings.
1380
01:47:35,700 --> 01:47:36,989
What?! Chopped off their noses?!
1381
01:47:37,920 --> 01:47:39,948
This is outrageous!
1382
01:47:39,973 --> 01:47:42,450
Kittu, take them inside.
1383
01:47:42,475 --> 01:47:43,979
Let me get some medicinal herbs.
1384
01:47:44,004 --> 01:47:45,848
Come, children.
Go inside.
1385
01:47:47,763 --> 01:47:49,177
Where did this happen?
1386
01:47:49,202 --> 01:47:50,294
At the market.
1387
01:47:50,319 --> 01:47:53,585
The lords and their companions beat us up
when we tried to stop them.
1388
01:47:53,610 --> 01:47:55,546
A few days ago,
they chopped off a woman's breast
1389
01:47:55,571 --> 01:47:56,931
because she covered up her chest.
1390
01:47:56,956 --> 01:47:58,378
We can't just let this go.
1391
01:47:58,403 --> 01:48:00,609
If you cover your chest,
they will cut off your breast.
1392
01:48:00,634 --> 01:48:02,672
If you wear long cloth,
they will brand your leg,
1393
01:48:02,709 --> 01:48:04,961
and if you wear a nose ring,
they will cut off your nose.
1394
01:48:04,986 --> 01:48:06,759
Death is better than
living a life like this!
1395
01:48:06,784 --> 01:48:08,725
They wish we would all just die!
1396
01:48:08,886 --> 01:48:10,605
Their wish will not come true for now.
1397
01:48:10,814 --> 01:48:12,074
We will avenge them.
1398
01:48:12,099 --> 01:48:14,392
The Poothan dance ritual at
the temple is tomorrow, right?
1399
01:48:14,417 --> 01:48:16,409
-Yes.
-Tomorrow, all our women will...
1400
01:48:16,434 --> 01:48:18,105
cover their chests, wear a long dhoti and
1401
01:48:18,130 --> 01:48:19,958
a nose ring and
perform the Poothan dance.
1402
01:48:20,581 --> 01:48:22,957
We will provide garments
and gold nose rings to everyone.
1403
01:48:40,708 --> 01:48:47,482
[Traditional Poothan folk song]
1404
01:50:37,177 --> 01:50:38,192
Stop!
1405
01:50:38,358 --> 01:50:39,397
I said, stop it!
1406
01:50:45,364 --> 01:50:48,292
Years ago, this place was
granted by the king for the
1407
01:50:48,317 --> 01:50:50,770
lower castes to perform
their Poothan dance ritual.
1408
01:50:50,795 --> 01:50:53,896
But when there is a law where they
are not even allowed to cover their chests,
1409
01:50:53,921 --> 01:50:55,841
we cannot allow these
women to wear such garments
1410
01:50:55,866 --> 01:50:57,685
and nose rings and
break the laws of the land.
1411
01:50:57,710 --> 01:50:59,201
It is an insult to our kingdom!
1412
01:50:59,755 --> 01:51:03,427
Hence, to avoid punishment,
I suggest you all disperse immediately!
1413
01:51:06,528 --> 01:51:08,356
Only the lower castes come here.
1414
01:51:09,122 --> 01:51:11,020
And since none of
the lords ever come this way,
1415
01:51:11,520 --> 01:51:12,692
this shouldn't insult anyone.
1416
01:51:13,872 --> 01:51:15,145
Masters, you may return.
1417
01:51:15,763 --> 01:51:17,747
Let these poor people
continue with their rituals.
1418
01:51:18,575 --> 01:51:20,301
-You may begin!
-Let us begin!
1419
01:51:21,535 --> 01:51:22,879
Throw them out!
1420
01:51:23,466 --> 01:51:24,613
Get rid of everyone!
1421
01:51:59,760 --> 01:52:01,533
Did you think there was
no one in Travancore
1422
01:52:01,558 --> 01:52:03,519
who could tame the rutted
elephant of Arattupuzha?
1423
01:52:03,551 --> 01:52:05,815
Despite me letting go,
you kept provoking me!
1424
01:52:06,013 --> 01:52:07,223
-You!
-No!
1425
01:52:08,888 --> 01:52:12,060
I can settle the score
with Panikkar by myself.
1426
01:52:12,247 --> 01:52:13,638
I don't need anyone else!
1427
01:52:57,715 --> 01:52:59,021
Hey, you!
1428
01:53:18,091 --> 01:53:19,693
No, Milord!
Chekavar!
1429
01:53:42,181 --> 01:53:43,392
Grandfather!
1430
01:53:56,588 --> 01:53:57,760
Oh, no!
1431
01:54:03,759 --> 01:54:06,040
Velayudhan... Velayudhan...
1432
01:54:12,961 --> 01:54:14,149
Grandfather!
1433
01:54:14,174 --> 01:54:15,755
Don't worry about me, my son.
1434
01:54:17,517 --> 01:54:20,143
The rituals to instate
the idol in our temple
1435
01:54:20,667 --> 01:54:22,495
must take place on the auspicious day.
1436
01:54:25,362 --> 01:54:27,032
-Grandfather!
-Oh, no! Grandfather!
1437
01:55:37,749 --> 01:55:38,867
Father...
1438
01:56:38,678 --> 01:56:39,811
Who was with you?
1439
01:56:40,226 --> 01:56:41,671
Who shot me?
Tell me!
1440
01:58:17,617 --> 01:58:18,703
Your Majesty,
1441
01:58:18,773 --> 01:58:21,670
it was Velayudhan who started the problems
1442
01:58:21,695 --> 01:58:24,544
by breaking the law at the Poothan ritual,
1443
01:58:24,701 --> 01:58:27,178
and then beating up Kaimal,
who questioned it.
1444
01:58:27,335 --> 01:58:29,304
He has committed a serious crime.
1445
01:58:29,476 --> 01:58:32,843
Velayudhan stabbed our deputy chief,
Padaveedan Nambi, to death.
1446
01:58:32,868 --> 01:58:34,430
And I'm a witness to that.
1447
01:58:34,953 --> 01:58:36,461
He would have killed me too.
But...
1448
01:58:36,486 --> 01:58:38,586
And how did you manage to escape?
Did you run?
1449
01:58:38,625 --> 01:58:41,054
Someone hiding in the forest
fired at Velayudhan.
1450
01:58:41,757 --> 01:58:43,210
Fired?! Who did that?
1451
01:58:43,483 --> 01:58:44,718
I could not see who it was.
1452
01:58:44,953 --> 01:58:46,891
I think he was shot in his hand.
1453
01:58:47,047 --> 01:58:50,570
Kaimal escaped when Velayudhan
chased after the man who shot him.
1454
01:58:50,869 --> 01:58:54,130
There has been an instance
when a lower caste was
1455
01:58:54,155 --> 01:58:57,415
sentenced to death for
manhandling an army officer.
1456
01:58:57,944 --> 01:59:01,390
Velayudhan has committed an
even bigger crime, Your Majesty.
1457
01:59:01,415 --> 01:59:05,070
Kindly pass an order to scourge him
to death in public, without any mercy.
1458
01:59:05,219 --> 01:59:07,710
Shouldn't we first capture Velayudhan
before we can punish him?
1459
01:59:08,031 --> 01:59:09,601
Since you haven't been able to do that,
1460
01:59:09,626 --> 01:59:11,390
what is the point in this fictitious trial?
1461
01:59:12,203 --> 01:59:15,038
The troops that accompanied them
scattered and ran away in fear.
1462
01:59:15,452 --> 01:59:18,374
And another set of troops searched
all over but couldn't find Velayudhan.
1463
01:59:18,453 --> 01:59:19,617
Your Majesty!
1464
01:59:20,836 --> 01:59:22,497
Velayudhan has appeared in person.
1465
01:59:22,755 --> 01:59:24,216
He seeks permission to meet you.
1466
01:59:24,537 --> 01:59:25,537
Huh?
1467
01:59:26,036 --> 01:59:27,412
Is that necessary, my King?
1468
01:59:27,569 --> 01:59:29,638
Should you grant an audience to a criminal
1469
01:59:29,787 --> 01:59:31,295
who has committed such a grave crime!
1470
01:59:31,615 --> 01:59:34,138
Kindly give the order
on his punishment, my King.
1471
01:59:34,874 --> 01:59:36,521
Shouldn't we hear what he has to say?
1472
01:59:38,375 --> 01:59:42,281
Am I not obliged to listen to the person
who has been sentenced to death?
1473
01:59:43,085 --> 01:59:44,257
Let him in.
1474
01:59:57,514 --> 02:00:01,179
Do I need to explain the
gravity of the crime you have committed.
1475
02:00:02,257 --> 02:00:04,991
You have killed
the deputy military chief of Travancore.
1476
02:00:05,203 --> 02:00:06,945
An offence which deserves
the death penalty!
1477
02:00:07,489 --> 02:00:09,537
Do you have anything to state?
1478
02:00:09,562 --> 02:00:12,788
I will respectfully accept any punishment
that Your Majesty may impose upon me.
1479
02:00:13,922 --> 02:00:15,711
The deputy military chief
slashed the throats
1480
02:00:15,736 --> 02:00:18,486
of four innocent people who were
performing the Poothan dance ritual.
1481
02:00:19,133 --> 02:00:21,806
Then he stabbed my grandfather
to death, right in front of my eyes.
1482
02:00:21,831 --> 02:00:24,111
I couldn't just stand there
and not do anything, my King.
1483
02:00:24,270 --> 02:00:26,083
I was forced to kill Padaveedan Nambi.
1484
02:00:27,156 --> 02:00:30,637
But I am happy that the man I killed
was in fact a traitor.
1485
02:00:33,702 --> 02:00:35,209
What are you saying, Velayudhan?
1486
02:00:35,234 --> 02:00:36,242
Your Highness,
1487
02:00:36,281 --> 02:00:39,640
I would like to present a prime witness,
if you grant me the permission.
1488
02:00:43,719 --> 02:00:45,969
After all, he is the prime witness!
You may bring him in.
1489
02:00:58,131 --> 02:00:59,241
Your Highness,
1490
02:00:59,266 --> 02:01:02,404
this dishonourable thief is
Kayamkulam Kochunni's accomplice, Bava.
1491
02:01:03,241 --> 02:01:06,827
Inspector Kannan Kurup shot me while
he was riding pillion on Bava's horse.
1492
02:01:08,460 --> 02:01:09,507
Kannan Kurup?!
1493
02:01:09,827 --> 02:01:10,866
Yes, Your Highness!
1494
02:01:11,172 --> 02:01:12,945
He is now part of Kochunni's camp.
1495
02:01:16,531 --> 02:01:20,008
Our commander-in-chief, who is strongly
advocating my death sentence today,
1496
02:01:20,734 --> 02:01:23,281
when he went to Kayamkulam forest
to catch Kochunni,
1497
02:01:23,780 --> 02:01:26,999
it was Padaveedan Nambi who leaked
that information to Kochunni.
1498
02:01:32,957 --> 02:01:34,218
I cannot believe my ears!
1499
02:01:40,005 --> 02:01:41,403
That's right, my King.
1500
02:01:41,482 --> 02:01:44,927
The day before
the commander and the army
1501
02:01:45,404 --> 02:01:48,271
were coming to capture Kochunni,
1502
02:01:48,911 --> 02:01:50,857
we were tipped off by Nambi
and another master.
1503
02:01:52,849 --> 02:01:55,833
He said he was beside
Your Majesty when you gave the order
1504
02:01:56,396 --> 02:01:59,880
and asked us to find a
quick route to escape.
1505
02:02:00,216 --> 02:02:01,466
He also took...
1506
02:02:02,442 --> 02:02:06,809
10000 gold coins from Kochunni as a reward.
1507
02:02:11,052 --> 02:02:14,778
Your Majesty, please don't believe
a thief's words over Nambi, who is no more.
1508
02:02:15,222 --> 02:02:17,606
But I think we can
believe his words, Kaimal.
1509
02:02:18,419 --> 02:02:20,973
Because when I called
the commander-in-chief and gave the order,
1510
02:02:21,458 --> 02:02:22,872
Padaveedan was also with me.
1511
02:02:25,260 --> 02:02:28,994
It was this lord who came
with Nambi that day.
1512
02:02:55,075 --> 02:02:56,122
Your Majesty...
1513
02:02:56,341 --> 02:02:57,466
Forgive me!
1514
02:02:58,121 --> 02:02:59,168
It was a mistake.
1515
02:03:00,255 --> 02:03:01,371
Please don't kill me.
1516
02:03:04,941 --> 02:03:06,605
Forgive me, my King.
1517
02:03:06,857 --> 02:03:08,755
Handcuff him and lock him in the dungeon.
1518
02:03:09,128 --> 02:03:11,223
For having committed treason,
while being a Governor,
1519
02:03:11,248 --> 02:03:13,590
Chandru Pillai deserves nothing
less than a death sentence!
1520
02:03:15,949 --> 02:03:17,152
Oh, no, Your Majesty...
1521
02:03:18,060 --> 02:03:19,583
Oh, my King!
1522
02:03:20,200 --> 02:03:21,536
Please have mercy on me!
1523
02:03:23,778 --> 02:03:25,122
Please don't kill me!
1524
02:03:28,021 --> 02:03:30,073
Are you convinced now, Kaimal?
1525
02:03:33,310 --> 02:03:37,169
Your Majesty, it's time to light lamps
for Lord Padmanabhan.
1526
02:03:37,239 --> 02:03:38,591
It's getting late, my King.
1527
02:03:40,198 --> 02:03:44,059
Amidst this heated trial,
we forgot about Lord Padmanabha's festival.
1528
02:03:44,848 --> 02:03:47,020
Do not postpone
the rituals for Painkuni festival.
1529
02:03:47,097 --> 02:03:48,293
That will be a bad omen.
1530
02:03:48,435 --> 02:03:49,582
O God, forgive me.
1531
02:03:50,919 --> 02:03:54,652
There is nothing more important
than You for this Padmanabha devotee.
1532
02:03:56,363 --> 02:03:58,707
I'm departing for the lighting
ceremony of Lord Padmanabha,
1533
02:03:58,732 --> 02:04:00,465
who will be adorned with the sacred jewels.
1534
02:04:00,652 --> 02:04:02,981
Tomorrow is the royal hunt ritual
of the Painkuni festival.
1535
02:04:03,006 --> 02:04:04,481
Overmorrow is the arattu procession.
1536
02:04:04,506 --> 02:04:07,801
This trail will resume
only on the day after that.
1537
02:04:08,107 --> 02:04:10,169
Until then, lock him in the dungeon.
1538
02:04:13,169 --> 02:04:16,136
Velayudha Panikkar, who recovered
Lord Padmanabha's sacred ornaments
1539
02:04:16,607 --> 02:04:19,834
and brought so many truths to light,
1540
02:04:20,285 --> 02:04:23,660
cannot be held solely responsible
for yesterday's incident.
1541
02:04:25,232 --> 02:04:27,348
Therefore,
Panikkar shall attend the council
1542
02:04:27,529 --> 02:04:30,714
on the day of the trial and
divulge the remaining information.
1543
02:04:31,310 --> 02:04:32,932
The verdict shall be made after that.
1544
02:04:35,060 --> 02:04:39,153
Those who have betrayed Travancore
will certainly be send to the gallows.
1545
02:04:56,348 --> 02:04:58,270
Did you give the order
to shift Bava from there?
1546
02:04:58,793 --> 02:05:00,395
We have shifted him to another place.
1547
02:05:02,294 --> 02:05:03,544
Oh, it is you, Rudran.
1548
02:05:05,098 --> 02:05:06,848
How is it going?
Did you arrange everything?
1549
02:05:06,873 --> 02:05:09,215
It didn't happen.
Bava was transferred from there.
1550
02:05:10,231 --> 02:05:11,836
What?!
Where was he transferred to?
1551
02:05:11,929 --> 02:05:13,052
I don't know, Milord.
1552
02:05:13,169 --> 02:05:14,910
All the night guards have been replaced.
1553
02:05:15,434 --> 02:05:16,941
It was a direct order from the Queen.
1554
02:05:16,966 --> 02:05:18,177
You were right, my Queen.
1555
02:05:19,356 --> 02:05:22,496
When the enemy is amongst us,
anything can happen at any time.
1556
02:05:24,309 --> 02:05:26,668
If he is eliminated,
then there will be no evidence left.
1557
02:05:26,788 --> 02:05:28,036
What will we do now?
1558
02:05:28,061 --> 02:05:29,419
If Bava reaches the council...
1559
02:05:29,581 --> 02:05:33,051
You have been petrified ever since the King
mentioned the word 'gallows', isn't it?
1560
02:05:34,630 --> 02:05:37,935
It will happen either tonight or
tomorrow night, come what may.
1561
02:05:39,013 --> 02:05:41,218
Rudran is the King's confidante
who has the freedom
1562
02:05:41,242 --> 02:05:43,270
to pass through any
corridors of the palace.
1563
02:05:44,060 --> 02:05:45,497
Your Majesty, sleep peacefully now.
1564
02:05:45,544 --> 02:05:46,739
It's getting late.
1565
02:05:47,114 --> 02:05:49,130
We need to go to the temple
early in the morning.
1566
02:05:49,583 --> 02:05:52,247
Until the traitors
who cheated me are punished,
1567
02:05:53,302 --> 02:05:54,693
I cannot sleep, Kalyani.
1568
02:06:00,177 --> 02:06:01,427
Who is that at this odd time?
1569
02:06:01,935 --> 02:06:03,716
Rudran, move into the darkness.
1570
02:06:07,458 --> 02:06:09,895
It's me, Raman Thambi.
1571
02:06:10,130 --> 02:06:12,903
You scared us!
I thought you would come only tomorrow.
1572
02:06:13,014 --> 02:06:14,138
It's almost tomorrow.
1573
02:06:14,372 --> 02:06:16,177
Hardly two hours left until tomorrow.
1574
02:06:17,089 --> 02:06:19,028
Night time is ideal for such visits.
1575
02:06:19,700 --> 02:06:24,098
Velayudhan's people have left for
Cherthala after Perumal's cremation.
1576
02:06:25,739 --> 02:06:28,161
The idol installation will take
place the day after tomorrow.
1577
02:06:28,543 --> 02:06:30,252
Has everything been arranged as discussed?
1578
02:06:30,277 --> 02:06:32,801
If you request something, consider it done!
1579
02:06:33,927 --> 02:06:35,323
Keshu has arranged someone.
1580
02:06:35,739 --> 02:06:38,325
Chirukandan, Velayudhan's loyal ally.
1581
02:06:38,388 --> 02:06:39,443
Chirukandan?!
1582
02:06:40,239 --> 02:06:42,708
You know Nangeli,
Velayudhan's mistress?
1583
02:06:43,849 --> 02:06:46,302
This idiot, Chirukandan
is her prospective groom.
1584
02:06:46,661 --> 02:06:50,521
A friend of this Chirukandan
has agreed to do what it takes.
1585
02:06:50,739 --> 02:06:51,849
His name is Kandappan.
1586
02:06:52,583 --> 02:06:53,607
Good.
1587
02:06:53,801 --> 02:06:55,067
Pay him how much ever he wants,
1588
02:06:55,333 --> 02:06:59,465
but I need exact updates about
Velayudhan's movements from him.
1589
02:06:59,669 --> 02:07:00,832
I have explained everything.
1590
02:07:01,582 --> 02:07:04,519
We will reach Cherthala Governor's
house tomorrow evening itself.
1591
02:07:04,872 --> 02:07:07,160
And will discuss the rest of the plans
once we are there.
1592
02:07:07,825 --> 02:07:11,652
We will need to take some extreme steps
to murder Velayudhan.
1593
02:07:44,957 --> 02:07:46,973
Why are you peering over
your shoulders, Kandappan?
1594
02:07:47,630 --> 02:07:49,770
I was thinking how our
Chekavar put all this together
1595
02:07:49,795 --> 02:07:51,350
despite the opposition from the lords.
1596
02:07:51,591 --> 02:07:53,419
Not Chekavar, Panikaar!
1597
02:07:53,521 --> 02:07:55,356
Not 'Panikaar', it's Panikkar.
1598
02:07:55,381 --> 02:07:56,598
That's what I said.
1599
02:08:05,740 --> 02:08:07,575
You are all blessed souls.
1600
02:08:08,528 --> 02:08:14,829
Like how Lord Ram came to eat the 'tasted
fruits' from the tribal devotee, Shabari,
1601
02:08:15,234 --> 02:08:19,922
Lord Kailashanath has arrived
to hear your prayers.
1602
02:08:21,009 --> 02:08:22,150
O, Lord Mahadeva!
1603
02:08:22,275 --> 02:08:24,845
Narayanan Namboothiri arranged
this chief priest for us.
1604
02:08:24,985 --> 02:08:28,985
They exiled the priest who had
come to install the temporary abode.
1605
02:08:29,931 --> 02:08:33,134
Every human being has
the right to worship God.
1606
02:08:33,384 --> 02:08:35,634
And we believe it's God's will that
1607
02:08:35,931 --> 02:08:38,212
we help them attain this right
instead of forbidding it.
1608
02:08:38,415 --> 02:08:40,946
So there are good people
among these lords too.
1609
02:08:41,618 --> 02:08:44,931
Some important person
is waiting outside to meet you, Chekavar.
1610
02:08:58,415 --> 02:09:00,180
Did I trouble you in between the rituals?
1611
02:09:00,462 --> 02:09:02,782
No, not at all.
May I know who you are?
1612
02:09:02,892 --> 02:09:04,524
My name is Kalyana Krishnan.
1613
02:09:05,476 --> 02:09:07,649
We have met each other once.
1614
02:09:09,001 --> 02:09:11,407
When you came to
the East India Company Office
1615
02:09:11,587 --> 02:09:14,054
to get permission to export cardamom.
1616
02:09:15,288 --> 02:09:16,343
Yes, I remember.
1617
02:09:16,780 --> 02:09:20,093
The first person who held my hand and
told me that there is no untouchability.
1618
02:09:21,367 --> 02:09:24,679
I am the brother of the current Queen,
Kalyanikuttyamma.
1619
02:09:27,210 --> 02:09:29,983
I was abroad for a long time
after I left my job as the Peshkar.
1620
02:09:31,125 --> 02:09:33,093
I returned to Ananthapuri yesterday.
1621
02:09:33,265 --> 02:09:35,344
Now I am going to my house in Irinjalakuda.
1622
02:09:35,623 --> 02:09:37,107
I'm extremely happy to have met you.
1623
02:09:37,132 --> 02:09:40,616
Except, I am here to tell you something
you have to be very cautious about.
1624
02:09:41,468 --> 02:09:43,600
I got to know everything from Kalyanikutty.
1625
02:09:44,147 --> 02:09:47,460
You are passing through some
dangerous circumstances right now.
1626
02:09:47,998 --> 02:09:50,326
The Queen asked you not to take
the regular route
1627
02:09:50,445 --> 02:09:53,185
when you travel back to
Ananthapuri from the temple.
1628
02:09:56,257 --> 02:09:57,349
Alright, Milord.
1629
02:10:02,983 --> 02:10:06,147
God belongs to everyone,
not just to one set of people.
1630
02:10:06,172 --> 02:10:07,172
Isn't that right?
1631
02:10:08,506 --> 02:10:10,209
I completely agree with that thought.
1632
02:10:45,958 --> 02:10:47,756
Can you understand anything, Nangeli?
1633
02:10:50,051 --> 02:10:51,653
Even though I don't understand anything,
1634
02:10:51,678 --> 02:10:54,239
I know one thing now, that our people
can also perform Kathakali.
1635
02:10:54,264 --> 02:10:56,021
Can you understand anything, Veluthamma?
1636
02:10:56,880 --> 02:10:57,919
No.
1637
02:10:58,106 --> 02:11:00,879
If Grandfather was here,
he would have explained everything.
1638
02:11:08,288 --> 02:11:09,358
This way, Milord.
1639
02:11:09,383 --> 02:11:12,376
Damn! I can't stand the sound
of that Kathakali music.
1640
02:11:12,600 --> 02:11:14,785
Yes, Keshavan is right.
1641
02:11:14,810 --> 02:11:16,928
Those bloody lowlifes and
their temple and Kathakali!
1642
02:11:16,953 --> 02:11:18,733
Just chaos and lawlessness!
1643
02:11:18,758 --> 02:11:19,819
Pull yourself together.
1644
02:11:19,844 --> 02:11:21,429
We just backed down for the time being.
1645
02:11:21,787 --> 02:11:25,209
A tiger takes one step back before
pouncing to make its fatal attack.
1646
02:11:25,522 --> 02:11:27,710
To save our land, he needs to be killed!
1647
02:11:27,795 --> 02:11:29,372
He must have gotten wind of our plans.
1648
02:11:29,506 --> 02:11:31,279
That's why he decided to commute by boat.
1649
02:11:32,069 --> 02:11:33,334
So presumptuous!
1650
02:11:38,178 --> 02:11:39,271
Do you see, Milord?
1651
02:11:46,311 --> 02:11:47,382
Kandappan...
1652
02:11:47,407 --> 02:11:48,459
You go there.
1653
02:11:48,484 --> 02:11:49,952
-Do as you were told.
-Yes, Milord.
1654
02:11:49,977 --> 02:11:51,624
-You got enough money, didn't you?
-Yes.
1655
02:11:52,084 --> 02:11:53,209
You may go.
1656
02:11:59,686 --> 02:12:02,640
First day of Nalacharitham!
You performed it really well.
1657
02:12:04,819 --> 02:12:06,483
There is still room for improvement.
1658
02:12:06,905 --> 02:12:09,194
But the fact that the lower castes
who have not even had
1659
02:12:09,219 --> 02:12:12,131
a whiff of such art forms managed to
learn so much is highly commendable.
1660
02:12:12,374 --> 02:12:15,131
It was Perumal who really
wished to see all this happen.
1661
02:12:16,702 --> 02:12:18,366
Grandfather's last words were that,
1662
02:12:19,202 --> 02:12:22,116
the idol installation should take
place on the designated auspicious day.
1663
02:12:22,460 --> 02:12:25,303
That's why I wanted to conduct
all the rituals today itself.
1664
02:12:38,389 --> 02:12:39,749
You head back home.
1665
02:12:39,865 --> 02:12:41,217
I am leaving for Ananthapuri.
1666
02:12:41,242 --> 02:12:42,375
-Father...
-Yes, my son?
1667
02:12:42,400 --> 02:12:44,322
Will you take me with you?
1668
02:12:46,483 --> 02:12:48,178
I am going to see His Highness, the King.
1669
02:12:48,609 --> 02:12:50,023
Children are not allowed there.
1670
02:12:50,772 --> 02:12:53,113
We have cut some tender king coconuts.
Shall I get you one?
1671
02:12:53,138 --> 02:12:54,170
Sure.
1672
02:12:54,195 --> 02:12:55,937
We have got mangoes and bananas too.
1673
02:12:55,962 --> 02:12:57,203
You may load them on the boat.
1674
02:12:57,228 --> 02:12:59,711
There should be enough tender coconuts
and fruits for everyone.
1675
02:12:59,736 --> 02:13:00,812
Alright.
1676
02:13:01,405 --> 02:13:02,797
Father will be back.
1677
02:13:05,969 --> 02:13:07,094
Come, my son.
1678
02:13:33,274 --> 02:13:36,328
Aha! Are you drinking up
all the coconut water?
1679
02:13:36,353 --> 02:13:38,034
No, I was checking if it has enough water.
1680
02:13:38,059 --> 02:13:40,684
Nothing to check!
They are first-class, tender king coconuts!
1681
02:13:40,709 --> 02:13:42,804
Get me a good one for Chekavar.
1682
02:13:42,829 --> 02:13:43,899
Here, take this.
1683
02:13:46,407 --> 02:13:49,774
Also, we will need around 35 tender
coconuts for the people on the boat.
1684
02:13:49,799 --> 02:13:51,282
-I'll keep them ready.
-Make it fast.
1685
02:14:52,038 --> 02:14:53,116
Eat this.
1686
02:14:55,633 --> 02:14:56,648
Bava?!
1687
02:14:57,451 --> 02:14:58,466
Hey!
1688
02:14:58,530 --> 02:14:59,561
Eh?!
1689
02:15:21,500 --> 02:15:23,249
The physician's medicine is taking effect.
1690
02:15:25,562 --> 02:15:26,687
Come on.
1691
02:15:42,734 --> 02:15:44,242
Come on! Come fast!
1692
02:15:57,336 --> 02:15:58,539
Ramanan, get up!
1693
02:15:58,586 --> 02:15:59,703
Everybody get up.
1694
02:15:59,765 --> 02:16:00,890
Kaali! Get up!
1695
02:16:04,820 --> 02:16:05,960
This is treachery!
1696
02:18:22,297 --> 02:18:23,618
Stop, Khadar!
1697
02:18:28,500 --> 02:18:30,508
I will behead him!
1698
02:18:45,063 --> 02:18:46,086
Kunju Pillai...
1699
02:18:46,111 --> 02:18:47,164
YOU!
1700
02:20:30,192 --> 02:20:31,481
You filthy dog!
1701
02:22:08,991 --> 02:22:10,045
Father...
1702
02:22:10,070 --> 02:22:11,264
Father...
1703
02:22:11,491 --> 02:22:13,241
-What happened, my son?
-Father...
1704
02:22:20,624 --> 02:22:23,757

Stop!
1721
02:24:21,850 --> 02:24:25,272
It is better you obey me
before you are beaten to death.
1722
02:24:25,389 --> 02:24:26,421
You filthy girl!
1723
02:24:26,553 --> 02:24:28,803
There is no Velayudhan
to come to your rescue anymore!
1724
02:24:29,310 --> 02:24:32,319
You killed our god!
1725
02:24:32,794 --> 02:24:34,677
You evil people!
You deceived and killed him!
1726
02:24:34,841 --> 02:24:36,872
Kill us too!
Just beat us to death!
1727
02:24:37,327 --> 02:24:40,591
We are not here to see your bloody tears.
1728
02:24:40,704 --> 02:24:42,301
It is only because of you
1729
02:24:42,326 --> 02:24:45,560
that these low caste women dared
to walk around covering their chests.
1730
02:24:45,624 --> 02:24:46,921
That won't happen anymore.
1731
02:24:46,975 --> 02:24:49,364
Are you willing to pay the breast tax
1732
02:24:49,389 --> 02:24:51,498
and never cover your chest again
as per the law?
1733
02:24:51,873 --> 02:24:53,021
No!
1734
02:24:53,046 --> 02:24:54,858
I will not do it even if I die!
1735
02:24:55,897 --> 02:24:57,405
Beat her to death!
1736
02:24:57,569 --> 02:24:58,827
You insolent brat!
1737
02:24:59,014 --> 02:25:01,733
Don't harm my Nangeli, Lord!
1738
02:25:01,968 --> 02:25:03,718
Please don't harm her!
1739
02:25:06,247 --> 02:25:07,615
Don't beat my daughter!
1740
02:25:08,366 --> 02:25:09,950
Don't harm her, please!
1741
02:25:10,913 --> 02:25:14,155
O Lords! Let go of my daughter!
1742
02:25:14,264 --> 02:25:15,397
Tell them to stop, Milord.
1743
02:25:15,422 --> 02:25:16,610
Nangeli...
1744
02:25:16,982 --> 02:25:20,443
Milord, tell them not to hurt my daughter!
1745
02:25:20,561 --> 02:25:23,889
Milord! Please tell them to stop!
1746
02:25:24,710 --> 02:25:27,866
Please tell them to stop, Milord!
1747
02:25:28,694 --> 02:25:30,866
Then you tell her to pay the tax
1748
02:25:30,891 --> 02:25:32,600
and live according to the law of the land.
1749
02:25:34,671 --> 02:25:36,147
Nangeli, my daughter...
1750
02:25:36,218 --> 02:25:37,632
Please don't cry, Father.
1751
02:25:37,905 --> 02:25:39,694
This is our fate!
1752
02:25:40,905 --> 02:25:42,170
Let them kill me.
1753
02:25:45,054 --> 02:25:47,577
Stop, Milord!
My daughter will die, don't hit her!
1754
02:25:47,602 --> 02:25:48,913
Please don't kill her!
1755
02:25:48,991 --> 02:25:51,014
How dare you defy a police officer?!
1756
02:25:51,233 --> 02:25:52,538
Move aside!
1757
02:25:52,623 --> 02:25:53,959
Tie him up!
1758
02:25:54,590 --> 02:25:56,522
-Come here!
-Let go of my father!
1759
02:25:56,718 --> 02:25:58,007
Oh, no!
1760
02:25:58,319 --> 02:25:59,522
O, my Mother!
1761
02:26:00,280 --> 02:26:02,311
Let them be punished for breaking the law.
1762
02:26:03,124 --> 02:26:04,647
Beat up both of them.
1763
02:26:06,217 --> 02:26:07,381
Thrash them!
1764
02:26:07,746 --> 02:26:08,850
Wretched humans!
1765
02:26:11,577 --> 02:26:12,702
Oh, no!
1766
02:26:13,319 --> 02:26:14,577
O God!
1767
02:26:15,030 --> 02:26:16,444
I will die!
1768
02:26:19,093 --> 02:26:20,546
You may kill me.
1769
02:26:20,647 --> 02:26:22,741
But don't hit my father.
1770
02:26:23,475 --> 02:26:25,561
Finally, she felt pain
when we hit her father!
1771
02:26:25,586 --> 02:26:27,162
Kill him!
Let her witness it!
1772
02:26:30,241 --> 02:26:31,522
Insolent creatures!
1773
02:26:33,796 --> 02:26:34,866
Nangeli...
1774
02:26:34,891 --> 02:26:35,993
Save me!
1775
02:26:36,287 --> 02:26:37,334
Father...
1776
02:26:38,132 --> 02:26:39,514
Agree to it, my dear!
1777
02:26:40,264 --> 02:26:41,968
Or else they will kill your father.
1778
02:26:57,491 --> 02:26:58,655
No!
1779
02:26:58,702 --> 02:27:00,280
I agree!
1780
02:27:00,921 --> 02:27:02,593
Don't hit my father!
1781
02:27:06,593 --> 02:27:08,092
I accept my failure...
1782
02:27:08,796 --> 02:27:09,929
Stop.
1783
02:27:10,913 --> 02:27:14,061
Some people need such treatment
to come to their senses.
1784
02:27:14,757 --> 02:27:16,046
Release both of them.
1785
02:27:16,288 --> 02:27:17,733
The minister will be here now.
1786
02:27:17,811 --> 02:27:20,011
Let's begin the tax collection ceremony
after that.
1787
02:27:25,444 --> 02:27:26,522
Beware!
1788
02:27:26,647 --> 02:27:28,740
Let this be a lesson to all of you.
1789
02:27:49,022 --> 02:27:50,998
Finally, the law of our land has won.
1790
02:27:51,124 --> 02:27:52,147
Good.
1791
02:27:52,468 --> 02:27:54,202
Then, may the ceremony begin.
1792
02:27:57,929 --> 02:27:59,030
Father...
1793
02:28:05,019 --> 02:28:07,020
Let everything take place
as per the customs.
1794
02:28:07,045 --> 02:28:09,941
In the presence of the public
and the representatives of the royal court,
1795
02:28:09,966 --> 02:28:11,941
I hereby order Nangeli
to admit her mistake,
1796
02:28:11,966 --> 02:28:15,074
remove her upper cloth
and offer the breast tax.
1797
02:28:24,093 --> 02:28:26,074
Velayudha Chekavar is no more.
1798
02:28:27,693 --> 02:28:29,433
Now, being stubborn won't help us.
1799
02:28:32,530 --> 02:28:33,804
You go, my child.
1800
02:28:34,225 --> 02:28:35,632
Pay off the tax.
1801
02:28:40,904 --> 02:28:46,325
With these hands that have taken care of me
since the day my mother died...
1802
02:28:48,779 --> 02:28:50,146
please bless me, Father.
1803
02:28:57,007 --> 02:28:58,888
Make it fast.
The lords need to retire.
1804
02:29:22,108 --> 02:29:23,624
First, remove your upper cloth.
1805
02:30:15,926 --> 02:30:17,176
NANGELI!
1806
02:30:20,348 --> 02:30:21,348
Nangeli...
1807
02:30:21,373 --> 02:30:23,412
Go and serve this to your lords!
1808
02:30:24,027 --> 02:30:27,542
I don't want to live in a land
that does not respect women!
1809
02:30:28,371 --> 02:30:29,605
Nangeli...
1810
02:30:33,551 --> 02:30:34,567
Nangeli...
1811
02:30:35,184 --> 02:30:36,270
Nangeli...
1812
02:31:01,481 --> 02:31:02,918
Nangeli, my daughter...
1813
02:31:03,386 --> 02:31:04,699
Oh, no! How could you!
1814
02:31:05,246 --> 02:31:06,387
My daughter...
1815
02:31:06,816 --> 02:31:07,995
Lords...
1816
02:31:08,903 --> 02:31:10,340
Look at this!
1817
02:31:11,035 --> 02:31:12,301
My dear...
1818
02:31:13,465 --> 02:31:15,098
Oh my God!
1819
02:31:15,309 --> 02:31:17,035
What will I do now...
1820
02:31:17,253 --> 02:31:18,417
My dear...
1821
02:31:20,324 --> 02:31:22,871
Milord, are you seeing this?
1822
02:31:23,332 --> 02:31:27,105
O Lords, how will I bear this?
1823
02:31:28,230 --> 02:31:29,324
Come!
1824
02:31:29,559 --> 02:31:32,324
Let's carry our Nangeli's corpse
to the palace.
1825
02:31:32,543 --> 02:31:33,887
Let the king see it!
1826
02:31:33,912 --> 02:31:35,225
Stop them!
1827
02:31:39,028 --> 02:31:40,660
Burn her corpse.
1828
02:31:43,098 --> 02:31:44,238
Raaru Pillai...
1829
02:31:44,263 --> 02:31:46,106
Stop your bloody wailing
and come here!
1830
02:31:46,176 --> 02:31:47,942
O Lord! Leave me.
1831
02:31:48,660 --> 02:31:49,938
Let go of me!
1832
02:31:53,645 --> 02:31:54,754
Come here!
1833
02:31:56,574 --> 02:31:57,653
Nangeli...
1834
02:31:58,270 --> 02:31:59,692
What happened to my Nangeli?
1835
02:31:59,988 --> 02:32:01,192
Oh, no! My Nangeli!
1836
02:32:56,629 --> 02:32:58,184
Stop those rascals!
1837
02:32:58,217 --> 02:33:00,817
-Run for your life!
-Lords, run and save yourselves!
1838
02:33:01,635 --> 02:33:03,088
Run!
1839
02:33:03,220 --> 02:33:05,931
-Somebody stop them.
-Flee for your life!
1840
02:33:16,173 --> 02:33:17,835
"The people who betrayed and killed
1841
02:33:17,860 --> 02:33:20,243
Arattupuzha Velayudha Panikkar,
the god of the lower castes,
1842
02:33:20,751 --> 02:33:24,439
also became the cause of
Nangeli's and Chirukandan's suicide.
1843
02:33:24,501 --> 02:33:26,774
This sparked an outrage
among the lower caste people.
1844
02:33:27,290 --> 02:33:30,298
They attacked the authorities
and the lords.
1845
02:33:30,493 --> 02:33:32,743
They destroyed shops and markets.
1846
02:33:32,768 --> 02:33:37,829
The King issued a proclamation to prevent
Travancore from becoming a riotous land."
1847
02:33:38,056 --> 02:33:41,024
I demand the low caste people,
including the Ezhava caste,
1848
02:33:41,049 --> 02:33:44,399
to desist from violence.
1849
02:33:45,759 --> 02:33:49,087
From this day, unjust taxes like
breast and moustache taxes
1850
02:33:49,774 --> 02:33:51,329
will be abolished in Travancore.
1851
02:33:52,564 --> 02:33:57,329
I hereby grant the lower caste people,
the right to cover their upper body.
1852
02:33:58,204 --> 02:34:02,938
Unlike in the past, this order should
not be violated under any circumstances.
1853
02:34:11,798 --> 02:34:14,462
"But the historical truth is that
1854
02:34:14,487 --> 02:34:16,541
even in the early 20th century,
1855
02:34:16,566 --> 02:34:20,172
such inhumane practices
continued in Travancore."
