Original subtitles

No, don't get up. Lie down.

There are no hospitals nearby.

There are some good hospitals across the river.

They have suspended Jankar ferry service for two days cos of the heavy rains.

My dad has put some medicines for the time being.

Once the water goes away, we'll go to the hospital, okay?

Dad will be outside.

You take rest.

If you need anything ask me, okay?

Rosie, dear...

Didn't you go to class?

I get a fever whenever it starts raining.

Oh, so you won't be able to see your school friends or teachers?

That's okay.

If I go to class with fever won't other kids also fall sick?

Oh, so it's not because of laziness then?

Let me see that.

Ah, nice!

Did you draw it?

I always win first for all painting competitions.

Fantastic! Smart girl.

Once my wound heals and I take off the bandages,

you need to draw me another picture, okay?

How did you get all these wounds?

That's a long story.

Are you a story writer?

I haven't written anything yet.

But it was when I went after this story,

that this accident happened to me.

So, are you writing an action story?

Not just action...

there's action,

suspense,

comedy,

thriller

and everything!

Can you tell me the story?

I will...

Is it a children's story?

Um... No...

It's Kunjoottan's.

Kunjoottan! Like a small boy?

A big small boy!

Is he a comedy character?

He does comedy too.

Kunjoottan was born in a small village.

He's a farmer like your father.

Not just a farmer, he has many other businesses.

Tea shop,

factory,

vegetable shops

and many more businesses.

Such a small Kunjoottan can do so much?

First, you must hear the whole story.

Then you'll know...

-Okay? -Mm.

Kunjoottan has some friends from his town

and a business partner

who helps him with everything.

His name is Goutham.

The second character.

Is Goutham a comedy character?

No!

Goutham is quite serious.

He's the one who carries out all of Kunjoottan's vision and mission.

What's the name of this story?

If you keep asking questions in between, the story will lose its flow.

Shall I stop then?

I won't say it.

Sorry, sorry.

I won't ask again.

Tell me the story, please.

There are no questions in this story.

The name of the story is...

916 Kunjoottan!

Nice name. But what is this 916?

It means pure... genuine.

That's what it normally means.

Depending on whose point of view the story is told from,

you can interpret it in any way you choose.

All humans need to go through different stages in their life.

It's a journey.

Along the way, whatever you view as right through your perspective will be good.

It needn't be the same for others.

Kunjoottan's story may seem ordinary to anyone.

But each circumstance makes us think about it like it's a riddle.

Bless us, O God!

O Goddess!

O Lord Hanuman!

Kannan!

Paru!

-Are you ready? -Ready, Mom.

Eat fast.

-You're late for school again! -Give the phone.

You won't go to sleep early, no!

You're always playing on the phone.

-I'll break this phone! -Why are you shouting at the kids?

You keep supporting the kids, Dad.

No wonder they're getting spoilt.

What about you? Are you any good?

You're the one to preach!

Quick, go and start the bike.

So that they can get to school on time.

Look at you!

Dad, Kunjoottan is here.

Aha! This hasn't started yet or what?

It will.

By when?

-Bro... -What?

Sell this and buy a new one.

This is my first bike. Let me love it.

Love it but also take it to the workshop once in a while.

You mentioned workshop and it started.

You are my diamond!

Not diamond, it's fossil! It's that old!

-Come on, kids. Let's go. -Good morning, Uncle.

-Good morning. -Good morning, Uncle.

-Adi, the bag. -Careful.

Hari, here you go. Take this too.

Hari...

What? Bottle?

Dashamoola arishtam...

comes in a bottle, no?

Hari, buy one for his dad too. It's over.

What a great mother, Kunjoottan!

Get lost!

'KUNJOOTTAN'S HOTEL'

Didn't I tell you one week back

that I have to go?!

And now, you say, don't go?

You won't let me go, huh?

You won't let me go, huh? Huh?

Hey Soman...

Have you gone mad?

Why are you beating that up?

This isn't just dough...

This is Krishnan!

You watch...

I'm gonna leave this moment.

If you're leaving, why mix the dough?

That's a Porotta makers' trick.

No one here knows how to make porotta dough, right?

-You only know how to make tea. -Yes.

If I need to get some respect, this needs to be left here like this.

-Oho! -Yes, I'm leaving.

Krishnan is here. Talk to him directly.

Got a good bunch of bananas.

It's gold! Gold mine.

What's with the bag?

Didn't I tell you? I have to go.

Where to?

My uncle is on his last legs.

He broke them?!

No! It means he's about to die!

I need to go see him off happily before he passes

so that I can die peacefully.

-I mean... not that... -What about that dough?

Ah, that! I will do as I please! Why?

No, seems like that's all you do.

-Not that! -Then?

Give me my salary, I need to go.

Soman...

I know you're lying about your uncle.

I don't see the workers here as salaried employees.

Oh, so that you don't have to pay them?

I see them as my own family.

Oho! Psychological movement.

Such sentiments won't work with Porotta Master, Soman!

Police?

Police jeep?!

Did you already file a case, Soman?

Nah...

Looks like a girl from a good family.

This is the tea shop I told you about. Come.

Krishnan!

Hi Surendran.

This is the person I told you about.

Name is Mini.

-She knows all hotel work. -Hotel work?!

You can keep her, nothing to worry.

Do you know how to make porotta?

I can give it a shot.

Make porotta?! Here?!

Alright, Krishnan, I am off.

-Sure. -Alright, dear. Bye.

Okay.

Soman...

-Here. -What's it, Krishnan sir?

I haven't checked any accounts. There's probably more in here.

But who asked for money?!

Didn't you just say you wanted money?

Here.

Krishnan...

To just leave everything and go...

I never saw you...

as my boss...

but I saw you as my father...

My father!

Mini... I can carry my bag

as well as yours... It's not a burden.

Come, let me introduce you to the kitchen.

You look tired after your long journey.

'PUNCHIRI KADAV'

Here you go.

Alright.

Hari...

Hari!

What's it?

-Who's this, Dad? -Our new worker.

Variety puttu specialist.

-That means? -Puttu maker.

For now, she is the puttu teacher.

And your sister.

Come here.

What are you up to?

This is the only way to get losers like him under control.

You sure that's it, nothing else, right?

One slap!

What's your name?

Her name is Mini, astrological sign, Aries. Hometown, Mala.

Will turn 30 in February.

Unmarried.

-What? -Are you done?

Soman, you should join the CBI.

You got all the details in this short time.

He's doing tomato facials.

Go make porottas!

Go on!

-Vidya. -Yeah?

Vidya!

What's it, Mom?

Keep the milk can inside.

Why's she crying?

It's time to mate her, that's why.

I'll tell Sukumaran to come tomorrow.

He'll come and take her.

What's wrong with you?

It's when I think about our Kunjoottan.

Vidya is getting a lot of marriage proposals.

Stop worrying about him.

It will all happen.

Our son is 916.

Pure gold.

You'll see, a beautiful girl who's perfect for him will come soon.

If you're done being sad, go get the food ready.

What sadness! Hmph!

'HELP NEEDED'

So sad about that girl.

Hi Kunjoottan!

How's it going, Sakheer?

We've started collecting donations from the club.

How's she now?

It's serious.

It's really bad.

They said she needs surgery, that too immediately.

They're struggling.

She needs an immediate operation.

Have tea.

Take the banana.

Need 20 lakhs in one week. That's a huge task.

We've spoken to bus and auto drivers.

They said they can contribute one day's collection.

Kunjoottan, isn't she your teacher's daughter?

He's in a bad state.

We should do something.

Mom!

Mom!

Why are you screaming?

Oh, there you are.

Mom, look at this.

Who's that?

You had registered Kunjoottan in Kerala Matrimony, right?

A proposal has come for him.

She's good.

Do they know everything about him?

Of course.

I've given his photo and all details. Enough?

Anyway, let's discuss with Dad and him.

I'll talk to Dad when I go to the tea shop.

Where's Kunjoottan?

Kunjoottan got up early and went to the shop.

He said he'll be going to the Cochin office from there.

That's okay, I'll send it to him via email.

No problem.

It's the first time a proposal is coming for him.

O Goddess, please make it happen without any obstacles.

It will happen, Mom.

[In Tamil] Let's begin?

Muthu! This is about 5 kilos of freshly farmed,

and pulped pure organic bitter gourd juice

from our own plantations!

Goutham sir specially prepared this to welcome you.

Look here! It's best for your health.

No added flavours.

No preservatives.

No artificial intelligence.

Brother, I swear on my mother, I didn't do it on purpose.

Just give me some time.

I'll get the things you ordered in a jiffy!

I swear on Goddess of Attukal!

As if!

You took 3 crore rupees in advance saying you'll import all machines in 3 months.

And you went to Mysore and bought a plantation for that money.

For what? To resell it.

You won't even pick up the phone, acting like a businessman.

You thought we wouldn't find you, huh?

Don't worry, Muthu...

sign the papers that Antony has,

drink up the bitter gourd juice and leave.

We'll get in touch with the German company.

-Come on! -Sign!

Sign here.

Why should I sign? It's my property.

Right here, sign.

Move away.

One slap! Sign here!

This is...

This is my property.

Give me also some money, brother!

'GOUTHAM R. DIRECTOR'

'SIDHARTH K. MANAGING DIRECTOR'

Sir, may I come in?

Yes... come in...

Sir, this is the medical expense for our charitable foundation.

I could disperse it if you could just sign it off.

Did Goutham sign it?

Yes, sir.

Wow! Who's this?

Is it a new proposal?

How's she?

Great! She looks very graceful.

Are they okay?

Why won't they be okay?

By the way, they liked my profile and approached me with the proposal.

Oh, nice. Congrats.

Shilpa, do you now understand that

there are women who look at true beauty as well.

You've to be very lucky to find someone as good as you.

Thank you, thank you.

Feels good to hear it.

But I cannot increase your salary now.

You may leave, Shilpa.

Go on.

I'll sign this and leave it here.

There's an angry car coming at you.

Don't get hit.

-Your buttering didn't work, huh, Shilpa? -Get lost!

Aw! Poor you!

What's happening?

That's done. We've transferred his Mysore plantation to our name.

He had the nerve to ask for commission after what he did.

-And didn't you give him? -Yes, yes, a big one.

Didn't we get everything we needed?

Yes, we did. But he's a big fraud.

Not just a fraud! He curses a hell lot too!

Anyway, let him go.

Might need him later.

Antony, parcel him.

Alright, I'll pack him up.

-What? -Nuts.

-You may take it. Be careful. -Okay.

This will be over soon.

What's up with the full-on romantic mood?

Look.

Aha! Nice.

Is it a proposal?

Sudhi sent it a while back.

Aha! So, are you gonna get locked down this time?

The proposal came to us knowing everything.

Did you already speak to the family?

Mostly, there will be a bride-viewing soon.

Aha! What all developments when I was away for a bit.

Our family believes 99% it might happen.

That means, it's time to dream on a little.

Hey, no! I'll dream only after the wedding.

There's one percent risk.

One percent, right? The One above will take care of that.

Oh, yes!

Now that you mentioned God, I forgot about something.

There's a teacher who taught me in school,

his daughter is unwell.

It's quite serious.

He's very close to Dad.

The townsfolk are collecting money.

How much?

Around 20 lakh rupees.

Don't bother about the people's donation.

Just pay the whole amount from my account.

You need to do that, Goutham.

Send me their contact details.

I'll handle it.

Okay.

Hari and Sooraj heard about this proposal from Dad and called me.

Apparently, they have a surprise for me.

They probably got hold of some local arrack.

What other surprise could it be?

Hey, that's not it.

They said it's some tradition to be done before the wedding.

Go and see, you'll find out.

Are you getting out in the evening?

No. Did you forget we have that meeting with the Dubai people at Taj today.

Oh, yes, yes.

They are gonna come up with all sorts of finances.

Don't reduce our rate.

It's gonna be ours.

The people who are heading that meeting

very well know that

there's no one apart from us who can carry out this deal smoothly.

Is this your bloody surprise? Ugh!

Listen, you are our virgin friend who's getting married for the first time...

Wait, what do you call it?

-Inner struggle. -We understand your inner struggle...

so we planned this out.

It's gonna be embarrassing if someone finds out.

Is it necessary?

Yes, it is. Otherwise, one your first night when your wife is there,

you'll be overwhelmed and screwed.

-Really? -Of course.

I had to go through so many to get over my inhibitions.

-For real. -Understood?

If someone finds out, I'll lose all respect.

Who's gonna find out? Only we three will know.

Do we need to go tonight itself?

You must go.

We paid upfront.

Aha!

-You already paid, huh? -Of course.

What will I tell my dad?

You can tell your dad, we only paid for one.

Next time, you can take him along.

Have it.

This isn't something I have at this hour.

Just have it.

Cheers.

Cheers.

You don't look like someone who is worried.

No.

It's because they forced me.

I understood that when I first saw you.

When is your wedding?

Very soon.

It's good to know everything beforehand.

You won't have to struggle after the wedding.

That's why I came.

Where's the bell? Ring it.

-Should we kick it open? -Kick it open, sir.

It's very strong. My leg will break.

Good that you opened. Or I'd have kicked it open.

We got some information.

Get in and check! Search!

-Move... -Move away!

-Sir... -Move away.

-There's no one here, sir. -We'll decide that.

-Look there. -What's wrong with him?

He's gone crazy in the middle of the night.

-Why, sir? -Sir!

-Come here. -See!

What did I say?

-Move and follow me. -There's no one here, sir.

-Where? -There's just a child in this cradle.

A child?!

Whose child is this?

My child, sir. Was sleeping, that's why I was late to open the door.

Aw!

-Officers. -Sir!

Wrong information.

-Tell everyone to disperse. -Okay, sir.

Come on, the raid is over.

Go on. Start the jeep and get ready to go.

Let me give this girl a warning.

Come here.

Did you think I was a fool?

What happened, sir?

This wasn't a raid.

I came to see you.

Aw, sir!

This is all I can do now.

Cannot even trust your own shadow.

They all have YouTube channels.

That constable has 4 YouTube channels.

Why don't you go, sir.

Baby is sleeping.

That baby in the cradle, right?

I know him.

Cos that "kid" isn't a bad one, I'm leaving now.

This is my WhatsApp number.

Call me when you're free.

I'll come alone for a raid.

Okay, sir.

Do call me.

-Good night. -Thank you.

Bye.

Oh, it was him!

Let's do one thing.

Kunjoottan and I will go on my bike.

Oh, no.

-No? -You useless...

Broker Mani asked us to reach the girl's house at 10 in the morning.

Not 10 in the night.

First you guys go and see her.

If you like her, I'll go and see.

What kind of custom is that?

The boy needs to like her first.

-Not his parents. -Of course.

That's right.

But still...

Hi sweetie...

Hi cutie...

Sudhakaran, when I went to see his mother for bride viewing,

I was doubtful if she was older than me.

It was only during the wedding I realised I had seen her mother instead.

It's best I don't talk about my experience!

We are three children.

Two boys and one girl.

Dad is like our best friend.

He's a great company.

How's the farming going?

It's going good.

We've all items.

But I prefer banana plantation.

Although some turn out good for nothing.

You didn't eat anything that was served.

Sweets, right?

Hari will take care of it.

That's his area of expertise.

In my opinion, they should ban such sweets during bride viewing.

They should get stuff like burgers and KFC.

Am I right?

Sidharth, did you like me?

Ho! Oi!

Oiii!

Velappan!

We are here.

Coming.

Stop looking around and pour another one!

Pour it!

This amazing concoction is made from

exquisite coconut flower mixed with local gooseberries.

-Velappan... -Ya...

Today we are celebrating

Kunjoottan's bride-viewing

and marriage fixing!

Velappan...

Who knows if he will come to have your concoction

once he gets married!

Why not?

Will the girl he's marrying brew arrack at home?!

-Not that. -Then?

Usually, most of men stop going out after their marriage.

That's why I said that.

-That's correct. -Get lost, man! I will come.

Kunjoottan...

You're gonna get married.

So, let me ask you something.

Ask away.

Why is it said that women are like lamps?

You answer!

Say it!

I'm not getting married, he is. Ask him.

-But you can answer, no? -Ask him.

Sooraj, why don't you answer?

I'm never getting married.

-Hey! -You say it, then.

Everyone's stupid or what?

You see, when a lamp burns there's this auspiciousness,

there's a glow...

That auspiciousness should stay with us till the end of our life.

And do you know what to do for that?

-Huh? -Nah, ah.

Like how we need to pour oil to keep the lamp burning,

we need to keep giving her our love,

our passion and care.

Then your family's lamp will burn for eternity.

Correct.

When she was with me...

I was running around for money...

I could never find the time to love her or make her happy.

But she never complained.

And in the end...

she...

she was gone...

Hey...

because of her, you learnt a skill...

What skill, dear?

To make arrack with coconut flower.

Pah! You bloody loser!

You dare mess with my story!

There's a parcel for Kunjoottan.

Smells like ghee, looks like it's sweets.

Must be from one of his ex-girlfriends.

Yeah, he has no dearth of those.

You give these sweets to the staff.

Okay.

Kunjoottan will be back only after his wedding and honeymoon.

Don't know if he'll be lucky.

Because I have a sweet tooth.

Since they insisted...

why not keep this...

Maybe there's a reason behind it.

Hey! Enough dressing up!

Sidharth must be waiting for you.

Go on.

Oh, thank you, thank you.

Did the load of vegetables go?

Take care of the business, okay?

Come in.

Alright. Okay, then.

-Were you bored? -No...

Just a little...

Why are you sitting there?

Come sit here.

Here.

I don't usually drink milk at this hour.

But because you gave it, I'll have a sip.

Have it.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Vaishnavi, you look very beautiful with jasmine flowers in your hair.

I really like jasmine flowers.

-It's my weakness too. -Eh?

I also really like them.

No touch phone?

I control my whole empire with this.

Switch off the light.

-Also... -Dear...

Open the door.

-Go and check. -Dear!

Quickly open the door.

Come with me.

-What's it, Mom? -Just come.

-What happened? -Come here, I'll tell you.

Ambulance?

Didn't you go, son?

-No. -Vaishnavi is alone. How can I go?

She got into the ambulance and went.

Huh?

She went without saying?

Sister, ICU?

Go straight.

You shouldn't make Dad drink anymore.

If you want to drink, go elsewhere and drink.

Silence! This is the ICU, don't shout here.

-Sidharth... -You sit.

Why did he walk away angrily?

Saji uncle got Grandpa drunk.

-Is it gonna be a problem? -No.

He'll be back once he's sober.

I meant your grandfather?

He's under observation. They asked us to wait.

What a timing for him to die!

Don't worry. It'll be fine.

-Check his BP. -Okay, sir.

Nothing to worry.

His health is fine.

Are you newly married?

-All the best! -Thank you.

-Too bad for them. -What to do?

Vaishnavi.

Why don't you guys go home?

-Come let's go. -No...

We'll just see Grandpa.

But he is fine, dear.

I'll call you if there's anything. You both go.

-Alright. -Who's Vaishnavi?

-It's me. -You are wanted inside.

Dear...

It's going to be morning soon.

Careful.

Slowly.

He didn't die but managed to ruin my first night.

Aha! Are you still sleeping?

Sidharth.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up now.

Do you know what time it is?

The tea is getting cold.

You said we'll go to the temple this morning?

Sidharth...

Everyone is asking for you downstairs.

How can you sleep so much?

Good morning.

Good morning.

What's this?

Shouldn't we go to the temple?

We can go to the temple later.

The tea is getting cold.

Drink it.

We can drink the tea later.

We are late.

Get up and get ready.

Hello guys! Today we have a special video!

Let's watch Kunjoos and Aunty's romance!

Watch and see!

Always with that phone and video!

Get lost!

Go!

Sidharth!

Ah, there you are.

Aha, jasmine flowers.

What's with the jasmine flowers?

You're hiding something.

There's something.

-Show me. -Close your eyes.

Don't open.

This is nice.

Now slowly open your mouth.

Jelebi sweet!

Who told you I like jelebi?

Your husband knows everything.

If you eat a lot of it, you'll become very fat.

You can eat the rest tomorrow.

Go keep it.

One for each day.

-Sit down. -Okay.

That is...

Shall we switch off the light?

Should I?

-Mm. -I'll switch it off.

I could barely sleep last night.

Got a bad headache right now.

So, you were dancing with a headache?

The kids were insisting.

Let's sleep?

Vaishnavi...

Hm?

Did you notice Sudhi and his wife?

What about them?

They have two kids...

yet they are still damn romantic.

Shouldn't we also become like them?

Will you get angry at me if I tell you something?

No. You tell me.

I need some more time for that kind of romance.

Vaishnavi.

Vaishnavi!

Mm...

And by time...

how much time would you need?

You don't need much time to snore, huh.

What's it?

What's happening? Did you start?

Started.

You wanna hear?

Hear?!

Listen...

-Did you hear? -Where are you?

Engine room?

You grandmother is riding a bike in the wall of death.

Hang up and get lost.

Rascal!

What was that sound?

Kunjoottan loves drumsticks leaf sautéed.

No one else likes it though.

Enough. Why don't you sit, Mom?

I like plain drumsticks.

Stop it.

Been a while since I had local food.

Last was for Kunjoottan's wedding.

The wedding was great but the food was terrible.

Is that why you ate twice?

That's because...

they didn't serve dessert the first time.

Happy now?

Didn't see your family at the wedding, Goutham?

-Aren't you married? -Goutham won't make that mistake.

My dad was in the defence.

They settled in the north after retirement.

Everyone tried to get him married off.

But he wouldn't let anyone.

He goes all around the world.

He must have someone somewhere.

Nothing like that.

Thought I'll just go with the flow.

I saw Ann in Dubai.

At the airport.

-Did you speak? -Nah.

The other guy was also there.

-Who? -Kelly.

Then she will be ruined.

Leave all that. What about honeymoon?

Any plans?

Vaishnavi.

Vaishnavi!

I'm in the bathroom.

Could you do me a favour?

-Do you want me to come there? -No need.

There's my bag on that shelf.

Can you get me a cover from it?

Of course.

Did you get it?

Got it.

Are you not coming, Hari? Have some tea.

Not just tea. Something heavy.

-Get the tea. I'll come now. -Okay.

Hey!

Are you still sleeping to the generator's sound?

So, nothing happened yet...?

She falls asleep fast.

That's the problem.

So, that's it.

What?

Maybe her battery is down.

That is a mental block causing starting trouble.

We can fix it.

I didn't understand.

For example, this car...

we haven't driven it in a long time.

Will it start when we try to start it?

Nope. So, what do we do then?

We push the car. It starts when we push it.

Like that.

Just slowly give a push when she's asleep,

it will start.

But watch out for one thing...

Give acceleration only after it starts.

Sidharth...

Aha!

This is nice.

How's it?

Very nice.

Are you going straight to snoring?

Get lost.

Did you know, the dance I did with the kids became viral.

Did you see it?

I was watching it.

-It was great. -Thank you.

Let's sleep?

Yeah.

Oh, the light is still on.

Don't have to get up.

Wow!

What was that?

Hi-tech!

The kids were telling me...

they wanted me for the next reel.

Oh, is it? We can do it.

They said if we do a reel together, it'll really go viral.

Apparently, we'll get a lot of likes and comments.

There were a lot of comments.

I noticed your friend's comment amongst those.

She was asking...

if there's any good news.

Slept?

She's snoring alright.

How does she fall asleep so quickly, as if a switch was flipped?

Vaishnavi.

What's it?

Vaishnavi...

What's wrong?

What did you just do?

What?

Why did you touch me without my permission?

Permission?!

Don't I have the right to do so?

Didn't I tell you I can't do all this!

What can't you do?

That you cannot accept me?

Or that you cannot love me?

What's your deal, Vaishnavi?

I'm speaking to you, Vaishnavi. Open your mouth and speak.

Didn't I tell you I can't do it now!

I've nothing more to say.

Don't force me.

Then why did you come into my life?

To make me a joke in front of my family and others?

I've loved you so much...

Did you even love me a tiny bit?

You were putting on an act.

You were putting on a show for something.

What did you say?!

A show?!

My love was just an act?!

All you men are the same.

Vultures waiting to pounce on every chance.

Vaishnavi...

don't say that.

I've never seen you with those eyes.

-Just listen to me. -You don't say anything!

I'll show you!

Vaishnavi!

Vaishnavi!

Vaishnavi, stop!

Vaishnavi.

Open.

Vaishnavi, don't do anything. Open the door.

Sudhi...

Vaishnavi.

Sudhi...

Vaishnavi...

Vaishnavi, just listen to me once.

Vaishnavi...

Sudhi...

What's it?

Vaishnavi...

-Vaishnavi... -Open the door.

Open the door, dear.

Vaishnavi...

What happened?

What's the matter, Vaishnavi?

You go outside, I'll ask her.

Let it go.

It's okay.

Calm down, dear.

Everyone got scared when you did that.

Kunjoottan is also not telling us what happened.

If you can tell me, do tell, dear.

The dance rehearsals for Youth Festivals

used to happen at the Master's house during the holidays.

One day, I went before the other kids arrived.

That day, Master was drinking...

He was looking at me very weirdly.

I...

I was very scared...

He didn't hear my cries or my pain...

After that... even if someone accidentally touches me,

I get scared.

The doctor and my family said

after marriage it will gradually become all right...

And for someone like Sidharth...

physical relation would be...

But...

Even if I had known these things before the wedding,

I still would've accepted you with all my heart.

I'm not blaming you.

We just started living together.

Can't you give it a little longer?

I know it's my loss.

But I can't face anyone here anymore.

I feel my decision now is the right one.

Don't force me.

I'm taking our wedding chain with me.

Kunjoottan would've become very sad, no?

Yeah... that's how life is.

When you lose something, you gain something else.

That's time's mischievous game.

[ASTROLOGER CHANTING]

O Lord Krishna.

Karkidakam, Vrischikam,

Meenam, Medam, Edavam.

An inauspicious planet is in orbit, casting a shadow over his time.

It's not in Kunjoottan's favour.

Expect misfortunes like

residing in another place,

husband and wife estrangement,

and sadness may follow.

Ever since his wife left, he has been holed up inside the house.

He has no interest in anything.

He was in Mysore with his friend for a while.

We thought if it brought him some peace, let him stay there.

Now he's here.

But unlike before, he has no energy or enthusiasm.

That's our worry.

We'll see...

Light a lamp to appease Snake Gods at the grove as a remedy for evil.

Next Bharani,

offer a sword and anklets to the Goddess.

These are remedials for bad times.

Is there a possibility for another wedding for Kunjoottan?

As per his horoscope, there's only one wedding for him.

And that's over.

Doesn't mean it won't happen again.

Let us pray.

Tell Kunjoottan also to pray.

Greetings.

I am Malavika Swaminathan.

I'm a research student at Kerala Agricultural University.

I welcome you all to this documentary, 'The Sound of Soil'.

Farmers have shown us that by loving the soil,

you can reap gold.

Farmers, who still toil in the fertile soil using traditional methods

without any chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

Right now, we are at Krishnachandran's house,

winner of last year's award for the Best Farmer.

Greetings to you!

My first question...

When did you first want to become a farmer?

Or when did you realise that farming is your expertise?

I've heard my mother gave birth to me while she was planting paddy sapling.

Maybe it's cos I was born onto the fertile soil,

that I am so passionate about farming.

You know, connection by birth.

Maybe that.

There's more plantation on that side.

Anyway, come home. I'll show you around.

That's me receiving the award.

That's the certificate for the award from 2020.

That's our family photo.

She's my wife.

My older son.

That's his wife and my younger daughter.

And that's my second son, Kunjoottan.

-Who's that? -Kunjoottan.

Sidharth.

We all call him Kunjoottan.

Come, dear. Let's eat something.

-Hello.-Hello.

Is this Kunjoottan?

Yes.

-Who's speaking?-I'm Malavika.

I came to your house today. To do the documentary about your father.

Oh, yes, yes. Understood.

Your dad gave me your number.

Oh, he had told me.

Can we meet in person?

What's the reason?

It's personal.

Where do I have to come?

You don't have to come anywhere. I'll pick you.

Pick me?

Oho, you're good.

So, until we meet, bye.

Good night.

You're already married, eh?

How did you know it?

I know it.

Tell me the truth,

how did you know?

Your dad told me everything.

Do you remember this school?

What a question!

It's where I studied.

No.

It's where we studied.

-Malu? -Yes.

What a surprise!

With eager eyes I've been waiting for you

Adorned by kohl and flowers

All I longed to speak to you

Now sweet whispers In the flute's melody

Now, let's be one forever

Let's unite our hearts Like evergreen trees

Like a peacock feather Gracing my memories' pages

Come as a dewdrop O radiant ray of sunlight

With eager eyes I've been waiting for you

Adorned by kohl and flowers

I stood waiting for you at the pier Like a tulip flower

You cast a net of your gaze upon me

I beheld your beauty in the mirror My beloved

Like a peacock feather Gracing my memories' pages

Come as a dewdrop O radiant ray of sunlight

With eager eyes I've been waiting for you

Adorned by kohl and flowers

In the grove of moonlit fields I wait for you.

You offer me the flower of your heart to be mine, always and forever

I beheld your beauty in the mirror My beloved

Like a peacock feather Gracing my memories' pages

Come as a dewdrop O radiant ray of sunlight

Kunjoottan.

This looks like trouble.

Let's reverse and go?

What to do?

Let's go in first gear.

I'm Deependran.

Which one of you did Malu come to see today?

To see me.

Hmph!

To see you, huh?

Let me come straight to the point.

My brother Arjun is going to get married to Malu.

Until he comes back home, I've promised him that

no soul will so much as glance at her.

Now do you understand the state of things?

Do you understand?!

Since we understood...

can we leave?

Get lost!

-Hari, stop the car. -Why?

Stop it.

Hey Deependran!

You didn't have to come like some hired goons to say this.

I'm the one opposite you.

Also, one more thing.

I really like Malu.

If she likes me, I'll definitely see her.

Doesn't matter if it's you or the Lord himself,

I will see her!

And it's not me, Kunjoottan, who's saying this.

It's Sidharth!

Got it, you bunch of losers?

-Grab him! -Scoot!

A few of us students had gone to Punjab as part of a project work.

That's how I met Arjun.

Is Arjun, Deependran's brother?

Yes.

He has some business over there.

What to say!

I can't even put a photo on Insta or FB.

He'll start badgering me with calls and messages.

I thought it'll end once I leave from there.

But because of his brother, Deependran,

he'll find and harm whoever I talk to over here.

Which means, you can't even look at anyone for fun.

That's right.

Who are you? What is it?

Who are you?

What do you want?

Better stop it!

Stop it right here, right now!

If you dare continue this.

I'll drown him in the river!

Do you understand?!

Start the car, Pappan!

Move away!

Krishnan...

I promise this family won't go through any pain because of me.

I'm sorry, Dad.

It's not because of you.

This was destined to happen.

That Deependran is trouble.

He'll harm whoever gets close to me.

You leave that.

I still have friends who can...

crush him in no time.

Dad, this Deependran is a born criminal.

Have you heard of Mahadevan?

Mamallapuram Mallan (wrestler) Mahadevan.

He's an old friend.

If he points his index finger

even the strongest man's nerves will go numb.

He will come.

In the eyes of Mahadevan,

Deependran will turn to mere ash.

It's been years since we met...

but I'm sure if I call him, he'll come running.

'MAMALLAPURAM 2 KM'

Where's Mallan Mahadevan's house?

-Who? -Mallan Mahadevan.

How can you come to Mamallapuram and ask if we know Mahadevan!

This place got famous cos of Mahadevan.

Really?

When Mahadevan gets into the wrestling ring,

his opponent's knees start shivering.

You have to see that wrestling!

Gone are those days!

If he was alive...

this wouldn't be the case.

He is not alive?!

It's been 6-7 years since he died.

Come, let's go.

Wait, wait...

-Is it a quotation? -Yes.

Small or big?

A big quotation for that small guy.

Well, Mallan Mahadevan is no more.

He has a son.

He's just like his father.

A powerhouse of a man.

It's a name that can be proudly displayed alongside his father's.

Mallan Karnan, son of Mahadevan.

My head is spinning.

Stop spinning your master.

I will curse all of you.

I curse you all, my pupils!

You guys come.

Head's spinning or spin the other way around.

This is Karnan's Kalari, training ground.

Is that Karnan in the air?

No, that's all his pupils.

Oh, is it?

How about we take all of them? Then, we won't have to be afraid of anyone!

Yeah and sell our house to feed and look after them.

So, Karnan?

Come, we'll see.

Is Karnan inside?

Master is removing his attire.

-He'll come now. -Removing his tyre?!

Master!

-Leave. -These are the people I told you about.

What's the purpose of your visit?

We are in some trouble.

Master, please--

No! Karnan!

There are other masters here.

Karnan sir, please help us.

What's your problem?

It's all in your hands.

Destroy them!

Look more confident.

Full on!

All hail Mallan Karnan!

All hail Mallan Karnan!

All hail Mallan Karnan!

All hail Mallan Karnan!

All hail Mallan Karnan!

All hail Mallan Karnan!

All hail Mallan Karnan!

WELCOME GREAT WARRIOR KARNAN

Oh, I didn't expect such a big welcome!

All hail Mallan Karnan!

All hail Mallan Karnan!

All hail Mallan Karnan!

All hail Mallan Karnan!

All hail Mallan Karnan!

All hail Mallan Karnan!

Master...

We've come to wrestle...

not for a wedding.

Your dad is a friend.

But I'm seeing you for the first time.

Who's that?

I'm his father.

We came there cos Dad asked us to.

Karnan...

That Deependran came here and created a ruckus.

I want to destroy him here itself.

And all these people must witness it.

That's my resolve!

Do you need to be that stubborn?

Of course! You need it!

Or else it won't be any good.

Does he come here daily to hit?

Just that day.

Not like what we expected, I doubt you'll have time to rest.

Fight can happen anytime.

What?

Come with me.

Do you know how to swim?

No one in my family knows.

So, make sure to take in everything you get from here. I'll be across the river.

What will I do with this?

You'll need it. Use it as a wreath when you die.

Master, I'm done. I am quitting this quotation.

See...

They are planning their moves.

If that Deependran comes here again, finish him off.

Doesn't matter what you do!

Most guys won't risk coming here if they know I'm with you.

But you need to publicise.

Do whatever you want!

But not a single grain of sand should fall on my son's body.

Even if I take pay without working,

I have no issues working without sincerity.

Pathetic...

So henceforth, Kunjoottan's bodyguard and driver is Mallan Karnan.

-Right, Dad? -Of course!

Listen...

Take him along, he looks scary.

But whatever happens, don't let him open his mouth.

What did you say?

It's time to eat something.

Hope you have got some chicken and goat.

God, Dad! Tell him!

Goat and chicken, hmph!

You think he's gonna be a pain?

Son...

I can still feel the heat from Deependran's fists.

It's good to have someone like him with you.

It's for my peace of mind.

Please listen to me, son.

Yes, Goutham?

How's Mallan Karnan?

Massy?

He looks like one.

But he's somewhat of a scaredy-cat.

Dad asked me to keep him with me.

So I agreed.

By the way, what's Malu's stand?

Same decision as before.

Very strong.

But what a strange destiny, Kunjoottan!

Your childhood friend coming back after years in search of you.

Uff! You're really blessed.

Thank you, thank you.

We're meeting tomorrow.

For the time being, I was wondering if we should secretly do a ring exchange.

I'm so happy for you.

Lock it soon.

Also, I'm sponsoring the ring. No changes there!

Thank you.

Also, I got some news.

As we had expected, Kelly has double played with Ann.

Oho, is that so?

So, there's a chance we can land a big one.

What's meant for us will come to us.

Right?

Okay, goodnight, bye.

Okay, bye.

Why are you scared of Deependran?

There are laws and police in this town.

We can go to the SP office together and give a complaint.

You don't know Deependran.

Even if the police catch him, his people will be out here.

Why lead a life with no peace?

I'm not scared.

I was saying this for your peace of mind.

Okay?

I'm not staying for long.

I got out saying I'm going to the temple.

I made an offering at the temple under your name. Here's the prasadam.

Oh, you made an offering. Thank you.

I've also bought you a gift.

Unlike kids these days...

I can't bend on one knee and ask, "will you marry me?"

If you show me your finger, I'll put it on.

-May I? -Yes.

Very nice.

It looks great.

-Very beautiful. -Here keep this as well.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Here keep this.

Are you going to marry that girl?

How's she?

Mallans don't look at women.

Why is that? Will you go blind if you look?

Start the car, man.

-Open. -Get in.

Rudra.

You know...

I blindly trusted that moron, Kelly.

And he backstabbed me.

Boom! It was not a surprise.

He robbed me of my lifetime earned money.

150 million dollars.

So, the consignment to Hong Kong is missing.

Right?

I'm not gonna leave him.

Huh? What did you say?

How do you know that?

Ms. Ann, you're underestimating 916 and his team.

We are professionals and we know what we're doing.

I wish you guys can help me.

I mean 916 and you can help me.

I want you to finish that moron off!

Yes, we will finish this.

But Ann, we charge 10%.

It doesn't matter.

I want my consignment back.

Anyhow!

And I trust you guys.

Great, well then, done!

-Salud! -Salud

I don't understand, Malu.

Why are you playing this romance drama with that little guy, Kunjoottan?

Is he that big a deal?!

Yes.

Not Kunjoottan.

Sidharth.

Rather 916...

He is also known by that name.

In addition to businesses known to his family and the townsfolk,

him and his partner, Goutham are settlement agents

of several international gold smuggling deals.

None of the deals they've undertaken have ever failed until now.

They have a secret team everywhere,

capable of silently eliminating anyone who opposes them.

Goutham is in fact Rudra, who's always with Sidharth.

He's the frontman for all dealings

and that's how 916 controls everything from here.

They have many direct and indirect clients both inside and outside the country.

Trust is what made them the top choice in deals involving commissions worth crores.

There's a huge demand for that little guy's master brain

and for his business strategies as a middleman.

We've lost many deals because of them.

Not only that...

it was because of their game that Kelly was in jail for 1.5 years.

Malu, if you had said all this earlier...

we could've finished them off.

The main reason for their growth is Sidharth's master brain.

That brain is not gonna function much longer.

How's that?

I've added a tasteless and odourless chemical drug

in the prasadam from the temple that I gave Sidharth today.

Within days after eating that, his brain cells will get damaged.

And then slowly...

he will become a feeble-minded man.

The man called 916...

will turn into a myth forever.

Did you hear it?

How my old friend is showing her love.

I did! Oh, God, very shocking.

When you told me you were doubtful about her, I did not expect this much.

I think it was a brilliant idea to put a voice transmitter in that ring.

Shouldn't we give her a proper visit?

We must. I am coming on the next flight.

Alright, see you then.

Okay, bye. Take care.

Karnan...

Throw this away.

Just a minute...

Neither your family or the townsfolk should know, right?

Has the Minister been here for long?

Been a while.

Why were you late?

The buyer's person came to verify the consignment.

Who's that?

One Tamilian, some Muthupandi something.

Then?

-Come. They are waiting. -Yeah.

Was I too late?

You can hardly call this being late.

After becoming a Minister, I've never gone anywhere on time.

This is our Customs Commissioner, Rajeev.

We've spoken on the phone before.

Sir, I cleared that assignment without a soul knowing.

Of course, I know what you can do!

I've known you for years!

Yes, sir. Once again, thank you for that.

Anyway, the stuff has safely reached our place.

So, what about the rest of the things?

Chandran sir...

In all our dealings, have I ever given less than the best?

No, never.

But for the next deal,

I'll be giving you more than you could ever dream of.

Obviously, I know that.

What's happening with our buyer?

Almost, the buyer had sent a Tamilian called Muthupandi.

He came, checked out the consignment. He seemed convinced and left.

The deal will be closed in 2 days.

But before that, Chandran sir, I need your word.

that no one will chase or capture me using the law.

Everyone except the Chief Minister is on our side.

From this Customs Commissioner

to any other officers you may need for support,

they are all like robots who will follow our orders at the flip of a switch.

I have made sure of that.

You do whatever you need to do.

Right, Rajeev?

I need that assurance.

So, within two days, we'll close this deal.

Let things go ahead as we planned.

I only have three questions.

Where is the deal happening?

When is it happening?

Where's Muthupandi?

I will not say, sir.

You bloody dog! You will say it!

-Isn't that Muthupandi? -Yes.

We tried contacting him but we couldn't get through.

He's somewhere in Kerala.

I need him immediately.

-I know you can do it. -Of course we can nab him.

Robert, after this deal...

I'll be paying you a good visit.

-Deal? -Yeah.

So hot! Please don't kill me.

Hey you, Tamilian!

If you say the truth,

you'll get more money than what they offered,

and get your life back.

Say it!

Where has Kelly hidden the consignment?

SAY IT!

What the hell...

I don't know about the place.

They blindfolded me before taking me there.

The buyer is an old friend.

He sent me to check the quality of the gold in that consignment.

I went and saw it and told the buyer all the details.

I swear on you...

on myself...

and on Goddess Attukal...

that I don't know that place!

Please believe me.

How much ton gold was in that container?

The gold wasn't inside the container.

Then?

The body of the container is gold.

That site had the feel of an old theatre in the middle of nowhere...

where they used to play adult films.

I swear on Goddess Attukal.

That's Girija theatre, right?

Woah!

Everything is okay, right? Then why worry?

I've no peace of mind until this is over.

Stop thinking so much, Kelly.

The Ministers and officers are on our side.

Then why worry?

That's not it.

Sidharth and Goutham.

They have blocked my way many times.

I got news from Dubai that Goutham met Ann.

We've already screwed over Sidharth.

His brain will not work anymore.

You be at peace.

What's that?

Show.

Shit!

Didn't I tell you?

They are damn morons!

Deependran, move that container right now.

-Call your men as well. -I'll go right away.

Goutham!

You and your partner have been screwing me around for a long time now!

You better stop your dirty game today!

I will put an end to it today!

To you and your poisonous rats!

We're both doing the same job!

Yes, we are doing the same job...

but your lack of ethics is the problem.

I will take this container with me.

Will you? Huh?

Try! Let me see how you do it!

Show me, man!

Oh, wow!

Can I ask a doubt, Uncle?

Yes.

How exactly did Goutham and Kunjoottan become such big dons?

Those are the answers I am going to seek now.

Rudra...

I liked the story.

But there's still some sadness remaining.

What's that?

Vaishnavi left Kunjoottan, right?

Vaishnavi was better.

Distance and quarrels between those

united by God in life will not last long.

Time moves on.

Sometimes our decisions and what we think is right will upset many people

After a while, we forget some of it.

Some remain inside of us.

And if the same thing happens again...

Please think carefully before taking a decision.

Will you change...

the decision you’ve just made?

Let's go.

Hello?

Sidharth, I have some information.

Who are you?

I am Jacob.

Jacob Rowling.

'WARNING'

Rudra!
