-Mathashree? -Oh, Rajesh ji.

It's been a while since we've conducted a moral science class.

It would be great if we could arrange one.

Really? That's great.

Then, find a suitable person for that.

But don't take too long.

Okay, Mathashree.

The overseer has been calling since morning.

And you didn't even answer the call. How troublesome!

The battery was down, so I threw it away.

-It's really sweet. -I'll make up something.

Alright.

-One not so sweet, one strong. -One medium, one strong.

-We'll review after we drink. -That would do.

Oh! Come on, Kids. Leena?

-Leena? Come, look! -What is it, Grandpa?

-Your friends are here. -Could you give me the newspaper, Leena?

Okay, Lilly?

Give the newspaper to Veena chechi.

Shall I get you some tea?

No, uncle.

Could you get me last week's Balarama too?

It's at Swapna’s place.

I'm also coming with you, chechi.

I need to get that book from Swapna.

-I'm placing glass is here, Pappy chetta. -Alright.

-Place the money too. -Put that on my tab.

-Uncle, is Swapna home? -The book is filled, man.

-What? -Is Swapna home?

-Just go and look. -Come.

Then shall we leave?

A tea good enough to drink.

Were you not drinking tea till now?

He never pays and wants to drink it for free.

To drink, tea.

Then to eat?

-Dosha. -Two dosha, dear.

Some idli is left. Why hasn't it finished yet?

What about the thing I asked?

Have some dosha first.

The rest…later.

How rude!

Good Lord!

Hey, Soman! How long has it been since you borrowed my money?

Neither paid the interest nor the capital.

Give me another extension.

What extension? You won't get any.

Boss, don't give him any extension.

If you let him go. You won't get it back ever.

I'll come see you tonight, Shashiyettan. I swear.

-Don't try to escape. -Take off your hands, stop kidding!

I'm not kidding. What's in your pocket?

Don't take it.

-Nice! -It belongs to someone else.

-Don't take it away. -I'll add it to the interest. Get lost!

Please listen to me, Shashiyettan.

-That's… -Scram, you fool!

Get lost!

Shashiyettan?

-Pappychayan. -Oh!

-Are you late, Sarasu? -A little.

-Don't be. -I won't.

-See you. -Okay.

Sarasu has a great heart.

-She never says no. -That's true.

You know that already, huh?

Hey! They'll get sick playing in the dirty water.

Get up from there! They never listen!

The entire waste from the town hospital is in it.

Oh, no! Then won't the fish die in this water?

Come, dear.

It's so fun to play in the water!

Mom will beat you up!

[sings "kuruthola perunnalinu" song]

Lonappan.

It's a great shirt, Lonan.

-It's birthday. -Whose? Yours?

Not mine. Son of Roy's.

-Oh. -It's his shirt.

-Kamalu won't even glance at me. -Hey!

You must pay her attention daily.

Only then will she notice you.

Listen, get one. I'll put things in motion.

If the idea is great,

-I'll get you a big one. -Don't be silly!

… lucky number. Sis?

Get one lottery ticket.

I'll definitely get the first prize if I get in from your auspicious hands.

Forty! Just forty only.

Here you go.

Let's deal with him, Lonan.

You, come here!

Lottery tickets in his hand and glasses on his head.

Look at his swag.

-Playboys? -No!

-Carrera? -No, no.

-Kuzhimanthi? -No…

-Footpath? -Yes!

It suits you well.

But don't put it on your face.

I'll put on this handsome face, okay?

It's completely dark.

If you try to cross Palu, I'll teach you a lesson.

Go now! Scream!

-Get lost! -Don't be so rough!

Now, you have to pour me one.

Sure! I will take care of it.

-I'll drink till I die today. -Of course, you will.

THONNYAMALA COLONY SECOND LINE

We should've come for Swapna earlier.

Exactly!

-We could've gotten the book too. -Where are you off to?

To buy some milk.

-Okay, then. -Bye, chechi.

My beauty hasn't diminished even at this age.

-You've become old. -Yeah, right!

-Stop dolling up now. -What's it to you?

Women are like this, no matter how old they are.

Unlike you, who gets drunk and has become the talk of the town.

Grandpa!

-Read it aloud. -Okay.

"Sanju Samson is not in the team."

Oh, that's terrible.

Is Sachin in?

Petrol prices have hiked, Grandma.

So what? We don't have any vehicles.

Will alcohol prices go up?

Look for any old-age pension news.

There's nothing in it.

-Then we're doomed. -"The alcohol price will increase."

-Will make arrack. -That won't happen here.

Here's your tea.

Don't leave your hair on the ground. It won't go even after cleaning up.

Yeah, as if it has fallen.

Yes, it has. That's why I'm telling you.

Give Mom her medicines, dear.

-What's for breakfast? -Idly and sambar.

Are we still in mourning?

-Do you have vada? -No, vada.

The water used to be crystal clear. Now look how it is.

Raghu told me the truck drivers aren't taking water from here anymore.

Which Raghu?

The drinking water truck driver.

Oh! Got it! That's your aboard now.

Let me live somehow, Sushamma.

Be careful with your words, Member.

Don't make them cuss at you.

Don't try to teach me.

Then why am I telling you all this?

-I'll use a trick when I get there. -Don't stain the white.

Careful.

It's useless to take the likes of you.

Where are these cranes off to in the morning?

Member?

-Stop, stop. -How are things?

Are you carrying it like this? Don't let it cut you.

The bulb is fused near the village well.

-Change it. -I will have a look today.

-Change it today itself. -See you in the evening.

-Sir. -Karunan, see you.

Member Sathyasheelan is here.

I haven't seen those with him before.

Seems something is going on.

-They won't be together otherwise. -True.

What happened, Shoshamma?

Not washing clothes?

Do you want us to wash clothes in this water?

Huh? Tell me!

You only have to dip in the Ujala after washing it here.

You want us to dip like you do?

-We have no such need. -What are you talking about?

Let's do this.

Will arrange a pump set in the next budget.

So that you can loot the money for it. Get lost, Member.

Didn't you go to school, dear?

-Come, let's go. -Go on.

-Only his clothes are white. -We'll take care of it.

-They know only to loot. -Don't worry.

Grandpa?

Oh, my! Are you leaving, dear?

-I forgot to buy candies. -It's okay.

-I'll get you some in the evening. -Alright.

See you, darling.

Next one.

Did you finish it?

I did chechi.

The next one…

-The thing about visiting the art school. -Yes.

When are we going, chechi?

I'll take you. Finish this first.

Then shall the two of us go tomorrow?

If you finish studying it all today. I'll take you tomorrow.

But not just us. We'll take them too.

Okay. Then I'll finish it right now.

-But, chechi. -Yeah?

Please get permission from my mom too.

We'll do that, but write this now.

I'm on it.

Come.

Come on in.

Come on.

Wow!

Continue. Gopika?

You have to manage a class today.

Sure. I will.

Hari sir and Soumya teacher are on leave today.

I'll do it, teacher.

Heard Soumya teacher received a marriage proposal.

-Is that true? -I don't know.

-Is this the kids you talked about? -Yes, where is Mathashree?

-They wanted to meet her. -She's in her room.

-Just go there. -Okay.

Then we'll pay her a visit.

-Alright. -Come.

It's my first time in a palace, chechi.

We've only witnessed the world from the colony.

It would be great if we had a house like this.

Right, chechi?

We can build one after getting a job.

Mathashree?

[in Sanskrit] May Vishnu inspire everything.

These are the kids I talked to you about.

How are you, kids?

-Yes, Mathashree. -Do you like dance and music?

[all] Yes.

Yes. Veena chechi sings well.

Is that so? Good girl!

Gopika.

Did the teacher mention about teaching a class?

Yes, she did, Mathashree.

Then go and have food now.

-Go on, kids. -Come on.

Okay.

[chanting Sanskrit sloka]

-Greetings, Mathashree. -Rajesh.

What is it?

Who is this?

He's the one who teaches Vanchippattu.

Rajesh will arrange everything, okay?

-You can do whatever you want. -Okay, Mathashree.

See you.

We are all born as empty vessels

which can be shaped by moral values.

These aren't my words.

I just reminded you what Jerry Springer has said.

Leave it.

But there are some things that you kids should know.

You should have healthy friendships during adolescence.

It can make or break your future.

I mean, try to stay away from bad influences.

Our parents should be our best friends.

We must be able to share everything with them.

There are many who lurk online to trap you.

You're living in an age where

honey traps, sex racket and drug lobbies have spread.

So, the people you can trust the most are your parents.

Sir. Move a bit.

Kids, this is Vijayan sir.

He'll teach you about Vanchippattu and the rules of it.

You can start, sir.

We're going to start the class on Vanchippattu.

We'll learn a few lines from "Kuchelavrutham"

written by Ramapurathu Warrier.

-Shall we start? -Yes.

[sings vanchippattu]

When is the next class, chechi?

Saturday.

Our colony's annual day is soon. Please come.

-Really? -Chechi?

-We are singing. -Wonderful!

[Parodies "chirikkumbol" song]

Hey, take a bath.

Mariyamma?

Just bathe already. I've to get to work.

Scram, you swine!

Come on already.

Praise be to Jesus.

You've been saying that for long. Keep it to yourself.

So are you planning to be like this forever?

-Yeah. -Have you seen

anyone in this parish who lives recklessly like you?

Can't you get a job?

So my wife has told you about it, huh?

These are my work clothes, Father.

Give me a job. And I'll go, Father.

Or what?

-Praise be to Jesus. -May there always be praise.

I'm here to talk about drinking water, Father.

We only have well there.

And the water is very dirty.

I've fed up complaining to the member.

Could you please tell him to arrange a tanker of pure water?

She used to collect water from the canal.

Now she wants water in a tanker! Get lost!

-Her water! -Say that at home.

Don't utter a word now!

I'll talk to the member. Go on. Okay, Father.

Leave, run now. You!

-I'll see you at church! -Then share some of your wine.

I'll bring the snacks for free.

-Did you come early? -Yes.

Listen, I told Father about our water problem.

Really? Will he talk to our member?

I don't know if he will.

I did what I should.

-What happened? -Blood.

Oh, no! What happened, chechi?

You're bleeding. What's wrong?

I'm not feeling well for the past few days.

-Did you go to the hospital? -I didn't.

Let's go to the hospital, then.

It's fine. I'll just take some rest.

-Should I take it? -No, no.

-It's fine. -Are you sure?

-Can you go back alone? -Should I come?

-I'll go alone. No need. -Go with her.

Call us if there's anything.

-Oh, my! -I'll deal with you tonight!

I've been eyeing you for a while.

I won't let you off.

-Get lost! -Run! You scoundrel!

-Run! Don't look back! -You'll have to answer for this.

Yes. I'll answer.

-You'll regret this! -Don't you dare come here again!

I'll beat you to death!

I've been suffering since the day I got here.

What's the ruckus outside?

The India-Pak war is going on.

Is that so? And who won?

The same as usual.

As if you had done that!

Don't take that on me!

It's not my fault that he left!

My darling sang in front of everyone.

Evil eyes may have fallen on her.

I'll get some chilly and salt.

Mom and her shenanigans!

Oh, God!

…no need for that. Let's cut that cable.

What's with this guy?

-Rimy Tomy, Chithra, Sujatha. -Which one?

Oh, my! It was a great musical program.

I'm also a good singer. Shall I sing?

-It was super, kids. We have some gifts. -Thank you, uncle.

Gift!

Learn to appreciate the good things, man.

Hello? I give credit where it's due.

You've been doing this for six days. Will the bulb work?

You take the fuse away.

And they're here to repair it.

Rimy Tomy?

What's with you?

Sis Chithra?

Make something, damn it!

What happened, chechi? Why are you sitting like this?

My grades are low, Leena.

How can I say that to Mom?

She'll be very sad.

What's wrong with me?

It's alright, chechi. Just tell her, and she'll understand.

Don't be so glum.

No issue here.

What problem?

They are from our colony, right?

Yes.

-The kids are here. -Yeah, ask.

-We'll come. Just wait there. -Come on.

-Let's go. -Yeah, okay.

Veena?

I'll be back.

Why are you here?

Kalyani has gone to the library to collect books…

Why do you look troubled?

Got the exam results. My grades are really low.

Don't know what to tell Mom…

Is that all?

Don't worry about it.

We can score better next time.

By the way, when you come to the art school, practice Yoga.

You can focus more.

Okay, I'll come, sir. Then shall we…

Come.

Don't just sit here and go to work.

-Why don't you do that? -I'll smack you!

-As if! -Lecturing me?

-You want the item? -Yes.

Then give me.

Take it out.

-You too! -Here you go.

-Where's yours? Give me. -Should I?

Just give it to me.

-What about your share? -I'm here to drink it for free.

-And he expects money from me. -This guy!

This 200 is for me. I won't give it to you.

-To sniff! Get lost! -This swine!

My grades are low, Grandma. Will Mom scold me?

It's alright, dear. We can score better next time.

I'll make an offering at the temple in your name. Is that enough?

-Were you a smart student, Grandma? -Of course! Very smart!

Failed the seventh grade only twice.

Impressive!

You're here! Is Sudha aunty back?

No, she's still at work, chechi.

Get her something to eat.

No need. I'll get it myself.

-Take it. -I don't want. You have it.

What happened to aunty?

You look tired.

What?

-Aunty? -What happened?

Are you not well, Mom?

Come, I'll take you inside.

Get up.

What is it, dear?

Oh, my Malayalappuzha Goddess!

What's wrong with my child?

You!

We're the ones

holding the family and the government here.

You know that?

Planning to get drunk again?

So what? It's my money. Not yours.

I shouldn't have talked.

The freeloaders are here.

Pappychayan.

Two tea. One with less sugar.

-And one special. -Sit, Member.

-How's everything? -For free, huh?

We'll close it all together, chetta.

It's empty?

Get me some water, Pappychan.

Oh! Are you discussing the development plans, Member?

Can't you repair the road, Member?

I just took a bike driver who fell on the road to the hospital.

Just how many people have this been?

The money has been sanctioned, chetta.

We'll take care of it once we receive it.

We know how you "take care" of it.

What about the previous funds?

I swallowed it.

-You never get it. -Member used it all up for other needs.

Why are you talking like that?

What about the bridge near Ammini's place?

Is she the only one who uses that bridge?

Don't you use that bridge to get home?

What about Prabhakaran's toilet?

People can walk without worries because of that.

No matter how well you do, people will always criticize.

[phone rings] I have a call.

What about tea?

Whenever we talk about the public issues,

Member receives a call.

He should get beaten. His minion too.

Yes, I will reach. It's almost 9.30 now.

I'll tell you when I get there.

Okay? Alright.

The canal is filled with medical waste.

Even dead fetus is in it.

You must resolve it. Or else…

-There'll be public outrage. -Calm down, Thankachan.

I'll talk to them and will reach an agreement.

You've been doing that for a long time.

The water looks like grease, have you seen it?

Rajappan!

Don't add fuel to the fire.

Get the vehicle. We have to leave.

I have to attend an urgent meeting.

I'll take care of everything. Trust me.

-Okay? -It's never going to happen.

He likely made a lot of money from them.

Any doubt? And we're the fools!

Try calling.

-Why are you here? -Just came to talk to him.

-Not attending class? -Yes, sir.

-What's your name? -Sumesh.

-What? -Su…Sumesh.

-Which class? -Seven A.

Why are you talking like Policemen?

-What's your name? -Why do you want to know, sir?

The police told us that some gangs are luring kids in.

Sir.

Our kids also study here.

I just wanted to make sure.

-Have a seat, sir. -Thank you, sir.

I call you here to discuss a serious matter.

We have received information

that some drug lobby is lurking in these premises.

Do you have any suspicions?

I have seen some spoilt kids from Thonyamala colony roaming here.

I'm really suspicious of a person.

That's true, sir. They were troublemakers since their schooldays.

They never listen to anyone. Or even bothered studying.

A student named Veena comes from that colony.

We can collect their details if we ask her.

Sir, we need to exempt our students before beginning the inquiry.

-Or it will affect the kids greatly. -That's true.

Who knows what drugs they are using?

The era of weeds is gone.

There are new items in the market. Right, Rajesh sir?

-Yes. -Does Rajesh sir know that correctly?

He's new gen, unlike us.

In my youth, weed was the most dangerous.

Now, there are worse drugs available.

Sir.

Don't be scared, dear. We just want to know a few things.

We wanted to know about some ex-students from the colony.

Do you know Akhil and Rony?

They've been lurking here for the past few days. What do they do?

I… don't know, sir. Can I ask my mom and tell you?

Then go back to your class.

You can leave, dear. Which period is it?

Smitha teacher. It's English period.

Okay, go on.

Sir, I told you before the kids from the colony are meddlers.

Don't just colonize them, sir.

It's because of them that many schools are still running.

By the way, your two kids are studying at CBSE school, right?

That's true.

How many times have I told Stephen sir

to admit them in this school.

But he didn't listen.

Please keep an eye out on this matter.

It's a good time to correct the kids.

One more thing. World Nature Conservation Day is coming.

-You must arrange the things needed. -I will do it, sir.

Alright then.

-Please do the things needed. -Yes, sir.

I told you to be careful around the school premises.

Rajesh sir found out.

I think we might have to deal with that scoundrel.

Hold that.

They had called for the kid from your colony.

-Which kid? -Rajappan's granddaughter.

Veena?

-Something like that? -That's okay.

I'll take care of Rajappan.

It's finished.

-I'll arrange it tomorrow. -Okay, then.

-Alright. -Okay.

Leave.

There's no tomorrow in Soman's life.

Don't think you'll get a share. It's for me.

I'm drinking this to die.

You always say you'll win, but it never really happens.

Only when you buy a ticket that you'll win.

Those who buy regularly hit the jackpot.

-For who? -Yeah, right!

Try to get one. Then you'll know.

Chetta?

-Is Veena home? -What if she is?

We want to know something.

What is it?

-There's something. Let's go home. -Take it.

Come, let's go.

-Move! -Careful.

Slowly. Sit tight.

Let go of my hand.

Give him some space.

Let's go. Hold on tight.

Don't fall.

Watch your step.

Veena?

-Veena? -Yes?

What do you want?

Are you Veena?

-Veena? -Yes, coming.

Rony wants to talk to you.

What is it, chetta?

Did Rajesh sir asked you anything about us?

He didn't.

Why are you lying, dear?

My daughter didn't lie.

Yes, that's right.

-What right? -That too is correct.

Listen, we won't leave until you tell us.

Hey! Don't act so coy in front of us.

Take it somewhere else.

Get lost!

-You, are you George’s son? -Yeah.

You were not crying when you were born.

Tell your mom Gracy that midwife Paru reminded you that.

Come to school.

-I'll deal with you. -Like you will!

-Try if you dare! Get lost! -Damn old hag!

You'll know who this Rajappan is.

Oh, yeah?

-Had drinks with them and showing off now? -What?

-Good morning. -Oh!

What is this? You were gone only for two weeks.

My dear Dad, there is a strike for the next two days.

There's nothing to do there. And you're all here.

That's great. Hey…

Your son is here with his backpack.

-Don't make three, but four coffees. -Four?

Yes, that's right.

Yes, four!

What's going on?

You still drink the stinky rum when you're a lawyer.

Your dad never drinks, nor he buys good liquor to those who drink.

-Make him understand. -Aloshi…

-Go and freshen up. -Okay.

We'll have idiyappam, egg curry, and tea.

Bring it.

It has become an issue.

Let's see if we can find another way.

Oh! You're here?

-When did you get back, bro? -Yesterday!

-But I couldn't come out. -Aha.

Hey, the stuff that Rony told about?

It's in my bag.

-Sometta? -Not now.

Just give it to Rony.

I'll collect it from him tonight.

I shall leave then. I need to go to lawyer uncle's house.

What's the plan? Is it to see uncle or his daughter?

-Okay, go then. -Okay, bro.

Stop!

Park to the side.

What is it, sir?

Lord…

Thomas, your prayers are being heard by the heavenly father.

Your son will be freed from the grasp of the devil.

It doesn't look like he's even going to get bail.

I've never even accepted a cup of tea as a bribe during my time of service.

I have lived an honest life up until now.

I've never done anything that wouldn't be acceptable to the Lord.

Even so, this fate has come upon me, Father.

Believing in God isn't enough.

Our kids must also grow up with the fear of God in them.

We go to places of worship so that the undesirable habits in our children

is replaced with goodness.

All forms of worship has been created to encourage

humans to travel along the path of goodness.

When man misuses it, ruin is the result.

Be at peace.

I've knocked on every door.

No one can save my son.

God did not send his son into this world to pass judgment.

But for the world to be saved by him.

Be calm, Thomas.

God will be with you and bless you with goodness.

What goodness, Father?

The dream that I dreamt

is imprisoned now.

Pappy chaya, I shall…

Bye then.

Pappy chaya, I was also in court.

-Today? -When the verdict was delivered…

Thomas just fell.

He gasped, and it was over.

What's the point in having it all?

That boy is friends with the troublemaking kids in the colony.

There's no point.

The seized items weighed no small amount, but kilos.

It wasn't ganja but something more potent.

MBA? MLA? Something like that.

MDMA.

MDM…

The boy studies medicine, but it wasn't meant to be for him.

You have it?

There'll be someone like this at every wedding or funeral.

You don't have to.

It's because of his grief. Come on, bro.

-It's grief. -Exactly.

Am I not sad, then?

Aha!

The member is here...

-Member, how are things? -Everything is settled.

The body will be here in about an hour.

What about our Aloysius?

As it's a case of drug smuggling,

it isn't easy to help him.

But things are easier because his uncle is a lawyer.

Permission to come and view the body has been received.

There's a chance they might bring him to the cemetery.

That's all.

Hey!

The police are about to reach with Aloshi. They'll be here soon.

♪ Dad, oh my Dad… ♪

Chechi,

Aloshi would like to speak with you.

No. I don't want to see him.

No…

"The accused, who was granted bail in a drug smuggling case,

was found hanging."

"Aloshia. 24 years."

"When the police caught the accused with drugs worth lakhs,

his father died of a heart attack."

"Following his mother's refusal,

Aloshia, who was living with his uncle,

was found to have lost his life to suicide the other day."

He's the son of a good man.

He doesn't have to work at all.

He could just stay home and not do anything.

What happened to him?

He killed his father and himself. What kind of cruel fate is this?

A car can be seen parked under the tree in Thonnyamala.

One day, when I got there,

I was given something. I'm not sure if it was sugar or salt or sugar crystals.

As soon as I put it on my tongue, God!

I started to fly high, like a butterfly.

All over the gardens and fields.

The stuff is amazing!

If I got some more of it,

I could have flown high,

before my missus, Shoshamma!

Get lost, man!

Anjana didn't fly the kite properly yesterday. Did she?

Ah! The kids are here!

Who's reading the newspaper in school today?

-Uncle, where's Lena chechi? -There she comes.

Grandpa, can you buy us the newspaper?

-Yeah, sure! -Hey, take that paper.

-Give it! -Here.

-Why are you holding on to it? -Here's the newspaper, dear.

-Shall we go, Chechi? -We'll be back.

-You're going to the movies? -What's that?

-The movies! -They go to school to study.

-They're there to study. -Yeah, right.

Sir, we must organize a few programs that will

raise environmental awareness in the kids.

Is everything ready, Sir?

Greetings everyone.

Please call one of the kids.

-Hey, come here. -Sir.

Thank you, Sir.

You children are the most valuable asset in society.

On this World Nature Conservation Day,

let's all join together to protect our world by

by planting these tree saplings.

I shall recite a short poem for you.

Here you go. Where's your sidekick?

He'll be here soon.

-How's business? -It's going great.

But many losers are yet to give me money.

Hey! The sidekick is here.

Where were you?

The vehicle just wouldn't start.

If the vehicle didn't start, why couldn't you just get here?

The carburetor has to be cleaned.

How will you go, then?

You're right. How will we go to the meeting?

I've called for Tony's car. It'll be here soon.

Will you at least pay money for that?

Member!

-What's it, son? -Everyone's calling you to stream.

What happened?

Waste has come flowing through the stream again.

The water is black now.

That's unlikely to happen.

-Isn't that right, Jacky? -Yeah.

-Son, do one thing. -Okay.

Tell them I'll take a look in the evening.

I have an important meeting to attend now.

Jackie, start the vehicle.

How do I start the vehicle if it doesn’t work?

Keep your tricks with you!

You can leave after finding a solution for this issue.

Pappycha, it's not a trick.

Don't think you can get away like that.

Last time you did a half-hearted job to fool us.

That's not going to work again.

Hey Baskhara! Gopala! Thangappa!

Waste has piled up in our stream.

-Pappycha, what is this? -Come! Come fast!

-Member, workshop… -You stay there

-Come on, Member. Don't act smart. -I'll come.

Leave me. Let me go to the workshop!

Don't push me, please.

Too many women bathe here.

If something is in the stream, I didn't drop it there.

Understood?

Hey, do you see the black water?

Member, see the condition of the pond?

You have to find a solution!

Please stay calm. We'll find a solution to everything!

We called you here

because we're going to set out to protest this.

You can do as you please.

Don't worry.

I declare my support for your cause.

I'll be with you.

Stop it, Member.

We all know your support is nothing but a bluff.

You'll lose all your courage when you face the hotel and hospital owners.

Have I not brought so many developmental activities to this ward?

I'm with you on this. I promise!

It's common knowledge in the land

that you and your leaders have received money from those guys.

Chetta, those are just lies spread by jealous people.

What will we do if this stream,

our only source of water, also becomes polluted?

Where will we go for water?

People are falling sick because of this polluted water.

You have to find a solution, Member.

Don't worry. I'll find a lasting solution for this!

You've to do it quickly!

Or we'll make a decision regarding this.

-Yes! -Pappy chetta, aren't I with you?

We suffer all this because you're with us.

Chetta!

If you deal with it, we can make some money.

And we can have a blast.

I shouldn't deal with that too.

You take care of it.

-You do have a reputation. -That's right.

-Look! There goes Soman! -Let me deal with him.

-You take care of that, okay? -Soman!

Please wait, Soman!

-He's drunk in the morning. -That's the case always.

Hey!

Please stop, Soman.

-What? -I heard you started a new business?

-What business? -Drugs.

You jerk! I don't care if you are a member!

-Got that? If you speak such nonsense… -Let him go, Soman.

-Don't you know me? -Leave me!

-I was just saying you shouldn't… -Get lost!

He's out to advise others.

-Is he human? -Stirring up trouble…

Darn!

-No one saw that, thankfully. -Yeah, let's go.

My luck hasn’t been great lately.

Shoot! I can't find my project.

Mom, did you see it?

Mom! Did you?

Please search for it, dear.

Got it.

What happened, darling? Aren't you well?

Go to the hospital, okay?

Do you want me to get a herbal decoction from Kuttappan?

Grandma and her decoction!

Just go to the hospital, okay?

Come here.

What's wrong with the herbal doctor's decoction, huh?

Mom, I'm leaving.

Hurry up and bring the stuff.

Will anyone be inside?

What's it to us?

Can't find anything that's kept away.

What're you doing? Why are you making a mess?

-Where's the stuff that I kept here? -What stuff?

What stuff, you ask?

I'll make you speak. Say it!

Where's it? I'll…

Oh no! Dad, I took it!

I took it away to stop you from using drugs.

-How dare you? -Don't hit the child!

Come here! Step away, you nag!

-Don't touch her! -Leave me!

Let go!

Hey! Something is wrong. Let's go.

Start the vehicle! Reverse!

Don't you make me mad!

-Let's go! -Get in!

-What is it, Chechi? -I don't know.

Hey you!

-Oh no! Mom! -You don't know, huh?

Mom!

Hey! Did you see Soman?

Nopes.

He and his Soman.

Don't you have betel nut? Yes Chetta. I'll give it.

-Should I say it? -No need.

Here you go.

-You thought I'm a freeloader, huh? No! -You don't have to ,Chetta.

Soman doesn't want anything for free. Here!

Soman. Son!

Please take one.

You take one.

Aha! Not that. Take from this one.

You'll win it.

Soman.

Did the streetlight near you light up?

Are you asking me? Get lost!

Nuisance!

Get lost!

Please give me the money, son.

Hey. Do you want soda?

-Is it sweet? -What?

18-36-4…

-Will this win? -Of course.

Bro, there's Soman.

Hey!

Don't you have any responsibility here?

He was just trying to get out of this when you…

Do you know the value of the stuff she threw away?

Now we have to answer them.

What can l do? The girl did it.

What can I do?

You and your wretched daughter! Hey!

Lay a finger on me, and you'll pay. Got it?

Soman, let him go.

You have two days.

If we don't get the stuff back by then, you'll suffer!

-We'll teach you a lesson! -Get lost, you scoundrels!

Hey!

Come! If anyone…

Bring it on!

Hey! Come here!

-Have you seen Soman? -No, sir.

-We haven't, Sir. -If you see him or if he comes here…

-tell him to come to the station. -Go!

Why are they looking for him?

That's because…

the vala…bala…

The Child Rights Commission!

That Commission must be enquiring.

-Dear… -Chechi…

What…

Is Sulochana's bystander here?

The doctor will be here shortly.

Get up.

Are you Sulochana's daughter?

Where's your father, dear?

Her dad… is not here.

Doctor…

My daughter...

As we said back then, the operation has to be conducted immediately.

Don't be too late.

Her condition is getting worse. That's why.

My dear child…

Looks like Sulochana has been discharged.

What's the point? Isn't it a tumor?

Let's do something.

-Shall we all donate some money? -Yes. That's right.

Yeah, at least their household expenses will be covered.

Hey Shoshamma!

Your husband is here, lying on the ground drunk.

This man is such a pain!

-I'll set him right today. -Didn't you go to work today?

Darn it.

Yeah, you're in great shape.

I asked member to apply and secure a spot for me in the employment scheme.

You have a good daily wage job. Why can’t you just do that?

There I have to put in a lot of physical effort.

Here, no one's doing anything!

You say employment scheme but all you do is gossip!

You look great, by the way!

-How much? -200 acres!

-You deal with it. -Aren't you going to?

-There's Member. -Hey Member!

Member and sidekick, please come here.

-I need to discuss a matter. -Yeah, I'll come.

Hi Sujatha!

It's heavy work. It's the third time they are fertilising a dead coconut palm.

Gosh!

Have you started in the morning?

Member, I just spoke about you!

-What? -Nothing!

I thought it was something bad.

Hey, we must commend this guy.

He follows him around aimlessly.

If I wear white like him,

will you let me hang around you?

I can't carry one more corpse.

-I didn't mean you! -I wondered.

Member, we only had five days of work this month.

But you gave Susanna 17 days of work!

Is that right?

Hey! Come here!

Don't say that.

Did you clean up the waste that you were asked to?

No.

But she did it.

But did you tell us anything about it after that?

You didn't!

I didn't want you to do the difficult work. That's why.

Don't beat about the bush!

-I'm not! -No!

Leave it. But didn't we talk about the loan?

-Yes, we have. -What's up with the loan?

The loan has to get approved!

-Tell them, Jacky! -It has been approved!

Yeah, we heard about it.

It's getting late. We have to go for the meeting.

We've to go for a meeting now. After that, we'll sort…

Don't you get away like that.

Find a solution to our issues and then you can.

I promise I will!

-Tell them, man! -Nothing will happen!

It's been a long time. When will you do it?

I promise!

I'll distribute the funds to you in the next meeting.

-Are you sure? -Yes!

You'll be assigned more work. It's my word. Okay?

-Money? Phone? -Yes! Yes!

You heard what he said?

Everyone has?

Catch him!

Run! Don't let him go!

Eat, Mom.

Have some more.

Just have this. You need to take medicine.

I want to throw up.

-Only this, Mom! -No, no!

-You haven't eaten much! -I don't want it.

It's gone.

Lie down.

Enough.

My child is ill and it feels like the house has become silent.

-Give her some more. -Porridge again?

She didn't eat any before.

Why are you like this, dear? You've become frail.

I don't want it, Mom. I will throw up.

What do you…?

Pest! He's such a trouble.

You don't know Rajappan, you fool!

Why do you have to scream like this?

My daughter is ill and resting.

Did she fall ill because of me?

You were able to eat all this while because of her effort.

Be grateful.

Let's see what happens now.

So, whatever I did all this time is worth nothing?

I helped to maintain

this family which was in poverty!

That's all there is!

I'm worth nothing now!

A man's worth only so much!

I can't give you another extension. I don't want the interest.

I want the principal amount repaid today.

Didn't I already pay a lot of interest?

People usually buy things with money.

Men like me make money by spending money.

If you have money, give it.

Otherwise, your auto will stay here.

Give me one more chance.

One more chance?

Alright. I'll give you one final chance.

-Hey, give him the auto's key. -Should I?

Give it. Let him go.

Alright then.

There was no need to do that, boss.

You'll have to run behind him now.

What is it?

We came to see you, boss.

You may. Take a good look.

-Please don't mock us. -I wasn't.

It's been 7-8 months since your husband borrowed money and went into hiding.

I've got neither interest nor principal.

I'll catch him someday.

I'll make him suffer then.

Boss, I've come to talk to you about something else.

-Don't you know her mom, Sulochana? -I do.

She's bedridden because of a brain tumor.

So what?

Can you loan me some money?

On loan? Who'll pay the interest then?

Rajappan or you?

We'll pay it somehow.

It's for a surgery.

Isn't it to save a life?

I'll give the money.

But if I do, how'll I get the interest?

My boss and his schemes.

-Yeah, you'll get it. -Okay.

It's a matter of life and death. Let me see what I can do.

Leave now.

We are gathered here today in memory of the late Thomas Mathew,

a worker of the Human Rights Protection Mission.

His wife and brother

have come forward to express

a wish of theirs. They themselves will tell you about it.

Next, I invite advocate Pramod to address us.

Greetings.

I believe you are all aware

of the disasters that have recently befallen our family.

We wish to inform you of our decision

to donate 25 lakh rupees from my sister's son's higher education fund

to the winner of this marathon.

We hope this will be an encouragement to others as well.

Marathon?

Bro, what is a marathon?

It's a race in which many people participate by running.

Oh!

Are you participating?

Go for it. It's good.

You'll get many prizes.

-Here, take it. -Is that so?

Come, let's go.

Select a branch of the plant from which sapling is to be produced.

[repeats in Malayalam]

The branch must be pencil-thick.

[repeats in Malayalam]

-Understood? -Teacher!

Come in.

There's an announcement.

Human Rights Protection Mission

is organizing a mini-marathon

to raise awareness in children about drug abuse.

Those who are interested may participate.

Those who wish to can give your name to Rajesh sir.

Everyone's heard about the marathon?

I'm thinking of getting Veena to participate in it.

Can she do that?

Wasn't she the winner of the 100-meter race?

I have arranged for a coach this time.

That's great, sir. It will be beneficial.

That's true. Won't it be great for our school's reputation if she wins?

Who gave him bail?

Will people like him get bail so quickly?

He's involved with the drug gang.

Of course, he will.

Hey, finish your tea quickly.

He's headed this way, Member.

You got released?

-A tea. -There's no tea.

-What about black tea? -That got over early.

-Then, why do you run this shop? -That's my wish.

Even animals recognize their young. Isn't that so, Jacky?

Yes, indeed.

Smoking isn't allowed in public.

Get away with your lighter!

26-34-52

It won first prize yesterday. If you take the same serial number…

you'll win at least 5000 today.

Or 500. You want it?

You are jobless anyway. Take it!

Shall I take one?

-Hey, our Palu… -Let's go.

Hey, let me tell you something.

Get lost.

Biju, please give me a lemon juice.

Please go away, Soman chetta.

Not a single customer will come if they see you here.

Please don't ruin my livelihood.

Please.

Don't look.

It's different from what I usually say. It'll work this time.

I'll give it to you. I promise.

You say you'll give, but you never do.

Who else will I give it to, other than you? I will!

-What? -Coop!

-Coop? -Don't you want a chicken coop?

Don't give away too much!

Don't embarrass me, Pappy chetta.

[in Tamil] Stop.

Who's that?

[ in Tamil] That's enough! Go.

Come with me.

Hey! One tea.

Come.

Lord!

-Do you have any food? -Dosa, idli, sambar.

Dosa will do.

Do you want some?

Tea.

I haven't seen you here before. Where are you from?

Tenkasi.

Oh, you are from Andhra.

Great! They're outsiders.

Where's Thonnyamala colony?

You're headed to the colony?

Yeah.

Who do you want to meet there?

If I ask for directions, you need to answer only that.

I thought I'd help you. If you don't want it, that's fine.

Do you know who she is?

She's Muthumani.

You know the driver, Prabhakaran?

His daughter.

How's your mother, dear?

-She's okay, Chechi. -Okay.

You've grown into a beauty.

Don't worry about anything, dear.

I've found a solution for everything.

Everything will be alright.

Wretched hag!

She's come to set everything right.

Harlot!

Why are you here?

I came to see you, Sulochana.

That's when this nag…

Stop your lecture and get lost!

-Why did you…? -I…

Is this Prabhakaran's house?

Yes

This is Muthamani.

Her mother passed away some time back.

She has no family or relatives.

That's why,

I brought her here.

Why did you bring her here?

Isn't this Prabhakaran's house?

So?

Do you know who she is?

She's Prabhakaran's daughter.

Grandma…

-Mom! -Dear!

-What happened? -It's nothing.

How can that be? Don’t talk nonsense!

This is Prabhakaran's daughter!

That doesn't matter to me!

I've done what Prabhakaran told me to.

My job is done.

Muthumani, this is your home. Okay?

I will go now. Keep this.

Alright.

Lord! Please protect Muthumani!

-Whatever we say… -Yeah!

We should ask for the stuff from that army guy.

-We won't get any on the first. -I can't even imagine it.

-Without the stuff… -Lonappa, give me that light.

I won't!

You set everyone's head on fire, and now you want a light?

Get lost!

Jerk!

He wants a light!

He should be sent off with a beating.

He shouldn't be spared.

Scoundrel!

Dear.

Mom!

My dear… I

Mom!

Mom!

-Mom! -My dear!

-I won't get my capital and interest back. -Poor fellow.

-Greetings, sir. -What's the issue?

Think he was drunk and fell, but…

-Who saw him first? -Brother, come forward.

-Explain to sir. -Describe what happened.

Sir, I was coming from that side when I noticed a little boy.

That fellow showed me where the drunk man laid.

When I followed him, I found him lying dead.

-Okay, we'll have a look. -Sure, sir.

-Hurry, boy. -Wait, bro, I'm coming!

Goodness gracious!

Hey, you.

Click pictures of it.

Hey!

Get down from there.

Checking how deep it is? Now, get in!

Rajesh sir. May I know the current the girl's current status?

She performs sports and other activities.

-Alright, we'll try our maximum. -It's alright, sir.

Sir, you remember him? He's Augustine Joseph, the coach I told you about.

Oh, yes, I do. He won in the Asian Games.

He's the one in charge of the training for the marathon.

-We'll try, sir. -Of course!

Why don't we continue this at my office?

Do your legs hurt now that you have started practice?

India's best runner, Chetak Britto is participating.

He has always won in the races he's in.

Is Chetak's participating making you nervous?

Why must I? I want to win at any cost.

You will win, of course, Veena. We're here to cheer you on.

What will you do with the prize money after the win?

Her only wish was to help finance Swapna and Sulochana aunties' operation.

Also, I want to reform our small colony.

Veena, Rajiv Sir called you to the ground.

-Alright, I'll go. -See you.

Don't cry, dear.

Don't be sad, my baby.

This is also your home. Wipe your tears.

Don't cry, baby.

Okay, dear. Practice well!

As if she's going to collect lakhs by running.

-How ridiculous! -There are many experienced runners.

It's easy peasy for them.

Right, they will. It's not about the prize.

If someone from our locality and wins somehow,

that would save that family.

-Will you buy one? -No need.

You're still over here, Member?

Careful, or you might get kicked out of the post.

Why, what's the matter?

Do you know the amount of support that colony girl has garnered?

If she wins that marathon, she'll be the next election candidate.

What’s so special about her, anyway?

-Do you know? -Nah.

She is special, of course.

You'll find out soon enough.

What special? There's only one member.

And that's Sathyasheelan. Let's go, Member.

Sathyasheelan member.

Hey, little one.

-Hello, Ikka! -Here's a gift from me.

I went to your house,

-but wanted to give it directly. -Thank you, Ikka!

Also, I've given carp fish home.

Have you eaten, Mom?

Look, Moideen Ikka bought these shoes for me.

-It's beautiful! -Yes, yes.

Let me bring you your medicines.

No need. Muthumani brought them for me.

Here's your glass of milk.

-I don't want, Mom. -Drink a little, dear.

-Milk? From where? -Pappychettan brought some over.

He even said he'd bring us milk and egg till your marathon.

Eat before you leave for school, okay?

Okay, I'll go for a bath.

What's this you're carrying?

Oh, my! Oh, my!

-Moideen Ikka bought this for her. -Is that so?

Let me see.

Wow, so thoughtful of him!

Sorry for making you all wait.

Happy to have met you in person.

The conservationists are raising a fuss over the destruction of the sacred grove.

The public is up in arms over the snakes.

So many issues to solve.

-Who do you think he is? -Who is he?

Me, of course!

Please make a decision on how to deal with that competition.

There are four runners from our team.

You must arrange the local support for them.

Pay me well, and I'll arrange everything.

This isn't the first time we've done this.

You must deal with it thoroughly, okay?

I'll finish it smoothly for you.

Okay, I've got to meet someone urgently.

Don't worry, I'll do it for you.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Oh, Goddess! Malayalappuzha Mother!

-Hear our prayer. -O, Mother! Protect us.

Dear, Goddess…

Have a look and see if you like anything. I’ll get it for you.

No, thanks.

-I received my pension, dear. -That's okay.

You can use it to buy Mom's medicine.

Why are you tense? Isn't your practice going well?

There will be a lot of participants, huh?

Yes, there'll be.

Chechi, we'll win, right?

We have no other choice but to win.

[in Tamil] Sister?

I pity that child a lot, chetta.

A cursed family, they are. It never gets better for them.

It was bound to happen, Pappychettan.

You know how unruly she is, right?

She's Prabhakaran's daughter, after all.

She wanted to run, hired a coach and now is immovable.

Aren't you a social being, Member?

-How can you be so ruthless? -There's nothing of that sort.

If it was supposed to happen then it will happen anywhere, anytime.

It's unbearable to see that child.

I'm only asking him to nab the person who dashed her.

Nab him? That guy must've crossed the borders by now.

The police are reviewing the CCTV footage from Mani Brother's house.

The money that was supposed to be hers, will be swallowed by someone else.

-That's true, Pappychettan. -I agree.

Hey, sir.

-She was such a confident girl. -At what cost, though?

I had high hopes for her.

It's okay. Now, don't worry about it too much.

Her only wish was to help finance Swapna and Sulochana aunties' operation.

Why must I? I want to win at any cost.

Also, we want to reform our small colony.

Everything was going so smoothly.

True, I guess luck gave up on us.

My dear friends, I welcome you all.

The marathon conducted by the HRPM group is about to begin.

Respected Praseetha Thomas and Advocate Pramod make this even special.

This mini-marathon arranged by HRPM is a public collaboration

against alcohol and drugs.

We invite famous movie artist, Sai Priya on the dais

to talk about the marathon and flag off the event.

I consider lucky to be a part of

Unarv 2024 marathon.

It wasn't the prize money that attracted me.

We now live in a society where kids grow up to be

the ones who uproot the family under the influence of drugs.

I came to know that this marathon is the after-effect of a mother's pain,

who had suffered such a loss.

May this Unarv 2023 even

be able to wipe the tears of mothers around the globe.

A big salute to the mother and the organizers

for lighting a new path in the direction of goodness and love.

All the best.

-Is this Chetak Britto? -That's him.

Chetak Britto's the best, it seems.

Chetak Britto. Will we lose because of him?

What are you trying to prove with HRPM 2023 Mini Marathon?

I want to make the young generation

physically and mentally healthy.

Along with that, I'm trying to improve

their humanity and goodness in them.

I've arranged this marathon

as a humble effort for that.

You have our full support, sir.

Thank you.

We've arranged for four boys but I only see two?

Where are the others? You know I cashed in a lot for this.

Ah, here they are.

Those two who we thought didn't turn up.

Did you just scam me?

-They're good competition, sir. -I don't think so, by the looks of it.

Twenty-five lakhs is now the drain.

Right, call Member. We need to come to a decision now.

Here they are!

-I was about to meet you. -I've something important to say.

It's not safe to talk here. Let's go somewhere else.

Start the bike.

Oh, no!

My stomach.

Sir, do you know where she's at?

She ran… and crossed 10 kilometers already!

-Is she okay? -Yes, she is!

[phone rings]

It's Pappychettan on the call. Hello, Pappychettan?

-She has crossed the 10-kilometer mark! -Oh, yeah?

Gather everyone and wait at the finish line.

Yes, we will.

Don't forget to bring everyone!

-What did he say? -She crossed 10 kilometers, it seems!

He's asked us all to wait for her at the finish line.

-Let's go then. -Don't you worry.

Everything is going to be alright.

Dear people,

Unarv 2023 brings awareness

against drugs for kids under 20 years of age.

The marathon prized 25 lakhs rupees

by the HRPM group is approaching right behind this vehicle…

These are the men I told you about, sir.

-They're professionals. -Come, sir.

Simon, sir is here in person. How are things?

It's a done deal. Don't worry.

Are you arranging everything with just these two?

The others will join later. It's going to be a success.

Make it work.

Let's go, sir.

Hey, hey!

Someone help!

[in Tamil] Let go, you!

You rascals!

You carry on, children!

Go on!

[crowd cheering]

[both] YAY!

My sweetheart!

Don't cry, dear.

-Don't cry, love. -Don't lose heart.

Please, dear.

-Muthashi! -My darling!

I knew you'd win.

I managed to take the lead.

You nailed it, my boy!

Isn’t he the guy who came running from the forest?

Yeah, you're right!

Time to run at the Olympics, then.

Didn't I tell you?

Hear me out, everyone! Hear me out!

Catch the rogue! Catch the rogue!

Don't you dare! I'll end you!

-Hey, it's them. -Uh-oh, looks like they found out.

-Catch that lot! -Stop! Stop there, you!

-What is it? -We caught them!

Let's talk there.

Tell them everything. Or I'll kill you!

-I didn't do anything. -He's the marathon thief.

I've some urgent matters to attend Manage it here.

I caught a marathon thief.

-Come here you! -Are you trying to trick us?

Don't you dare escape!

Why would I? I was here the whole time!

I did this for all of our good.

Our good, my foot!

Move, people!

Why are we here if you take up the law in your hands?

-Don't let him off! -Sir!

We're the sponsors of this program.

We want to know what happened.

Tell us what you did! Go on, explain what you did!

I will! I will!

Go on!

I'll tell you everything, Mr. Lawyer.

Is this even the time to do this?

I was there in the village two days ago. You could've come then.

I did come.

But we were a bit busy.

Oh, in that case, give this to the Panchayat Secretary.

-Will do. -And then…

Call me if there are any issues over there.

Okay?

See you.

-Hey? -Yeah?

We don't need to involve the corporate fools.

-We can snatch the marathon prize. -Can't you be sensible for once?

Do you want to lose what we get from him too?

-But I found a loophole for it! -A loophole? How?

Boys?

Yes!

This is perfect!

How did I not know you were this clever all along?

Glad you've realized it now.

Your plan was spot on!

That should keep her in check for now.

-Yes, yes. -That damned girl.

-What's our current status? -Everything's in place.

The boys have mixed water.

They're going to have tummy troubles.

-Are you sure? -Of course!

Okay, do this.

Make sure everything goes smoothly.

-I'm stepping out for some other work. -Okay, I'll handle it.

Once I'm done, I'll meet you at the finish line.

Sounds good.

Pour it in.

Don't let anyone know. We will be screwed.

Enough. That'll do.

-Why's that fellow running into the woods? -Maybe to take a leak?

How does that matter? Get back to work.

[sings "thamarappo" song]

Did she go to work? Who cares!

♪ Marathon, marathon, marathon ♪

Hey, you! Stop there!

I said, stop!

You're supposed to run that way, and not this way.

Why's he crapping bricks?

You! I know you!

Don't run! Don't you dare run!

I'll kill you if you do.

Come with me!

You should run that way. But where are you running this way?

Don't pull me! Let me take this!

I'll show you.

Uh-oh!

Now's your time to go!

Go, run!

That's all that we did.

-Don't let him off, sir. -Sir, my political career…

Oh, my! So that means our girl won the marathon!

-Congrats, my girl! -You won, dear! Bravo!

My baby!

Isn't that Prabhakaran?

Member? Hey!

Seems you're in luck. Prabhakaran is here.

Let's escape before he sees us!

He's going to the colony. I wonder what's going to happen.

-Isn't that Veena's father? -Yeah, that's him.
