CLARA

[Tense music playing]

Don’t even think about following us, you hear?

Drive!

♪♪

You hear? Clara ran off with that fellow.

When?

When did this happen?

I only just found out.

Clara... she eloped with him.

[laughs]

What’s so funny about that?

Let her go and live her life.

Look at him laughing, [scoffs].

♪♪

This ash gourd has gone a bit rotten.

Just take the whole thing.

[grunts]

Let the sugar dissolve properly.

Move this aside.

Check if it's sweet enough.

Should I add more sugar?

No, that’s enough.

Pour half of it in there.

Hey, pour the rest into the bottle.

[mobile rings]

James, what’s the matter?

They’re gone, Uncle!

Eh?

When?

Was it Raari and his gang?

How many of them were there?

No, no, no... don’t go doing anything reckless.

Look, you’re supposed to go abroad next week; that won't happen if you mess this up.

I’ll be there.

I'll handle this.

Hey...

What?

Where are our "tools" kept?

The gun or the sword?

We'll need both.

Tell them to collect it from the toddy shop.

[mobile phone rings]

Now who is this? Damn it!

Yes, sir.

I'll be right there.

Mm-hmm.

Forget the tools. Let's go.

That Raari has started his nonsense again.

Raari...

What is it, Member?

Not long ago, Raari and his crew were all about weed and booze.

They were the local menace.

Look straight, you!

Fed up with constant police cases, they finally straightened up.

This Ulahannan isn't exactly a saint either.

This is the first time Raari is actually doing something good.

[sighs]

I wonder what's going to happen next.

There’s going to be a bloodbath for sure.

Raari pulled this stunt by messing with Ulahannan’s family.

[Tense music playing]

If you brought these useless fools to take Clara sister away,

They won't have hands left to fill another bottle of that crap.

And your head...

Get lost!

[Tense music playing]

Sir, I’m telling the truth.

I have suffered enough.

Are you trying to shame this family?

Who are you?

She’s my sister, sir.

Mom, you could have at least thought about me.

It’s because I thought of you that I lived like this all these years.

[cries]

Your grandfather married me off into a 'prestigious' family.

When you were just a toddler, your father ran off with my gold and money—I could have left with him then.

But I didn't.

Back then, I cared about this family’s reputation.

But when you listened to your wife in America and planned to dump me in an old age home, did you think about your mother?

You didn't care about the family's honor then.

All these years, I lived for others.

From now on, I will live for myself.

He waited for me all these years without even getting married; I will live my life with him.

Don't say another word!

Take your hands off her!

You rascal, I’m not sitting here to watch you direct a melodrama.

Listen up! cheers!!

Didn't you go and ask for her hand back then?

[sighs] Yes, I did.

Hmph, so you’ve come to ask for my daughter?

What worth do you have, you dog?

Dad!

Rascal!

Please, just leave.

How many years has it been?

Forty years.

Where is she now?

She’s locked away.

Where?

In that crumbling ancestral house.

Do you have the guts to go there and call her out?

Eh?

I asked if you have the guts to go call her out.

I have the guts.

[Tense music playing]

Clara...

Clara!

Come out!

We are going to live together from now on.

Come out...

Hey, Clara!

Get out of my house! Go!

Get out of here, you beggar!

You rascal!

So you’re the scoundrel trying to dump your own mother in an old age home?

Are you even human?

Son, let him go... he doesn't know any better.

You're lucky because of your mother.

Don't even think about coming after us, you hear?

Drive!

Listen up!

Lock them all up.

Let them stay in there for two days.

They are consenting adults.

They have the right to make their own decisions.

Do you understand?

Come.

You too, come here.

Hey, is the Registrar here?

He's here, sir.

Tell him to come in.

This way, please.

Don't be afraid, Ma'am.

I'll take care of these people.

If there’s any more trouble, just let me know.

Exchange the garlands.

[Soft, uplifting music]

NARTHAKI

[Sad, slow emotional music]

Where have you been, Madhuri?

You said two minutes.

You aren't the only one working under me here.

Hello?

Madhuri, why aren't you speaking?

Come on, where is the list?

Sir, what is this?

Is this why I worked day and night for a month, without food or sleep?

What? You’re terminated!

What the hell is going on here?

Fine, fine. I’ll manage.

I’ll talk to them.

Don’t worry, Madhuri.

I’ll talk to them.

Stop staring. That sixteen thousand rupees I got every month... it's gone now.

What? That’s gone too?

How could it not be?

You were shouting at the manager like that.

You should be a bit more tactful when speaking to those who pay your salary.

Otherwise, this is exactly what happens.

[Phone rings]

Hello? I’m on my way.

The flag? It must be at the party office.

Just come here directly.

I’ll be at Kannettupadi. Okay?

[Sad, slow emotional music]

How long have I been waiting for you, sir?

Look at your appearance! What is this?

What? What’s wrong with my look?

Anyway, I didn’t choose this style to impress people like you.

Hmm.

Pretty girls will come. Amazing girls!

Not only will they come, but they’ll fall for my charms too.

Fine, whatever. What about the thing I asked you?

What are you talking about?

This isn't a job for someone like you.

You need to be bouncy and energetic in front of the camera.

Look at this... it’s a worthless piece of junk.

Four days after you buy it, the handle will come off in your hand.

But when people hear our dialogue, they should book tickets from the Andaman Islands just to buy this.

That’s why I said... this isn't for you.

Let me try.

"You might be wondering what’s so special about this Multi-Fry Pan in my hand."

Hmm.

"Mackerel, sardines, tuna, beef, bread, or butter—whatever it may be."

"Suppose you start exactly at 11:50 AM."

Mm-hmm.

"By the time the mackerel on the top left is perfectly seared, the bullseye egg on the top right will be ready."

"Your husband, relaxing on the cushion, asks you for a piece of beef fry."

"Just as you serve the beef from the bottom left, your father-in-law decides he wants a slice of toasted bread."

"You serve him the bread on the spot, and when you look at the clock again..."

"...it’s only 11:55 AM."

"You still have 23 hours and 55 minutes left in your day."

Enough! Come to the studio tomorrow morning at nine.

I'm going to make this a massive hit!

Look, if the artist is no good, I’m stopping halfway and leaving.

Leave that to me, dear.

This is next-level stuff.

You’ll see—by the time we get there, she’ll have it all by heart. She’s fire!

If that’s the case, then great.

Hmm?

You said the artist was ready and waiting.

I don't see her anywhere.

That shouldn't be... one minute, I’ll check.

Hmm.

Hello? Where are you?

Hey, get here quickly!

Well? Where is she?

Is this your "punctual" artist?

Hey, she’ll be here.

Don't be in such a rush, there's still time.

Sorry, sorry!

I’m so sorry I’m late.

Not just a little late.

You said 9:00, and now it’s 9:45.

Get ready, don't waste time.

Lights!

"You might be wondering what’s so special about this Multi-Fry Pan in my hand."

"Mackerel, sardines, beef, bread, or butter—whatever it may be."

"Suppose you start exactly at 11:50 AM."

"By the time the mackerel on the top left is seared, the bullseye for your daughter on the top right is ready."

"Your husband, relaxing on the cushion, asks for a piece of beef fry."

"As you serve the beef from the bottom left, your father-in-law wants a slice of toasted bread."

"You serve him the bread from the bottom right, and you look at the clock."

"It is exactly 11:55 AM."

"You still have 23 hours and 55 minutes of your day left."

"This is the promise we give to every homemaker in India."

[Gentle, upbeat music]

Could you give me some water?

Mm.

I’ve seen you before.

Me too.

Four years ago, at the Fine Arts Gallery... you were the one who captured my performance, right?

Harshan, isn't it?

You remember my name.

Madhuri...

I don't understand. Seeing you here, in this role...

For this.

Renjan Sir is coming to 'Naatya Kshethra' on the 21st.

It’s Annapoorna Madam’s school.

Try performing there.

I’ll speak to him.

[Gentle, upbeat music]

[Classical dance performance]

Enough.

Better luck next time, Madhuri.

Madam, please tell the others to get ready.

Madam, one second.

Sir... couldn't you reconsider?

Just one more chance for her.

Harshan, did you even realize what you just saw?

The Varnam is a hymn to Krishna.

Raaga Reethigowla.

It is a devotion to the beloved... it is pure love.

Is that what you saw on her face?

Harshan, who are you pleading for?

Madhuri, you are dancing with resentment toward me in your heart.

I will tell you one thing—only when you truly discover your inner self will you rise.

My art will remain within me.

For now, I have no interest in touring the world by leaving that behind.

[Soft music plays]

I only came here because Harshan insisted.

I knew Renjan wouldn't accept me.

You would have reached national stages. And the money, too... right?

Hmm. Have you heard the story of Yayati?

Like Yayati, who, blinded by obsession, begged for his own son’s youth.

This is just like that corporate calculation from the Puranas.

Not a son’s, but a man who drains the energy of everyone around him.

Renjan's fame today is built on the sweat of people like us who studied with him.

Just look at the state of the teacher who taught him.

I have no interest in selling my dance, Harshan.

Let it stay within me.

By the way, Pan Singh was looking for you.

Tell Pan Singh to pay me properly first.

All that shouting and no pay...

"You might be wondering what’s so special about this Multi-Fry Pan in my hand."

"Mackerel, sardines, beef, bread, butter—whatever it may be."

"Suppose you start at 11:50 AM. At the same time..."

What is your sponsor’s problem?

Is he out of his mind?

I don't know.

I tried my best to convince him.

He says the artist is overacting.

Rubbish!

Let him come and do it himself then.

Tell him to pay her fairly for the work she's done.

Man, he's the one who has to give it.

Madhuri...

Damn it!

[Soft, emotional music plays]

Madhuri...

Madhuri, wait, let me speak.

Where are you guys going to find a better artist than her?

From now on, you only shoot what you want.

Hey, wait!

There’s a limit to increasing the fees, Madhuri.

Forget the fees... what has my child even learned all this time?

I wanted her to compete at the state level this time.

Has there been any improvement at all in these last few months?

She needs more time.

The time spent so far is more than enough.

That's it, we're leaving. Come on.

Those who want to leave can leave.

I don’t have any treasures to hand out instantly.

It's not like there aren't other teachers in this town.

Look at her... acting like some great dancer.

[Soft, emotional music plays]

[Violin music playing]

[Clapping]

Do you feel like crying?

If you had shown this performance where it mattered, it would have meant so much.

Renjan wasn't entirely wrong.

Hmm.

But... shouldn't I feel that spark of love within me at the time?

And do you feel it now?

[Violin music playing]

I have nothing to give those who come to become dancers in six months, Harshan.

This is a sacred penance.

A kind of divine obsession.

Above all, it is my joy.

In the Krishna Varnam of Reethigowla, who does the heroine truly love?

Is it Krishna, her favorite deity?

No... the meaning is deeper than that.

"Loving the supreme consciousness.

"The ultimate reality."

It is the journey of the individual soul toward the supreme soul.

This is love, Harshan.

An infinite love.

[Classical dance music swells]

[Mobile rings]

[Soft music plays]

[Mobile rings]

Hello...

Hey Maathu, excellent work!

I am totally flattered.

It was incredible.

I have no words... your energy was amazing!

I’m coming to see you.

I need to give you a huge hug.

I'll call you this evening.

I'm a bit busy, running to the office!

[Soft music plays]

[Mobile rings]

Hello?

Is this Madhuri?

Yes.

Madhuri, I am Justin Varghese, the City Police Commissioner.

I really appreciate your performance.

I’ve actually been looking for a teacher for my daughter for a while.

Where are you staying?

Do you have any contact details?

[Violin music playing]

Do you know who this is?

Pandit Geethagovindan, the Nritha Choodamani.

Sir...

There’s no need for that. I know everything.

Poorna explained it all to me in great detail.

I was supposed to leave for Bengaluru today.

I didn't go.

Perhaps it was destiny, so I could meet you.

My dear... gold that is melted and refined in these embers gains a special brilliance.

[Laughs]

The 28th at Bengaluru Swarathaalam, right?

Yes.

After that, Frankfurt, Germany.

Get ready.

I will write the recommendation for your fellowship.

That is the plan, isn't it?

[Laughs]

I must go, I’m in a hurry.

Aren't you happy now

Get ready then.

[Soft music plays]

[Mobile rings]

1.4 million views in 12 hours!

The girl in the sky!

You’ve finally started to fly.

[Emotional music plays]

I told you, Madhuri... the day you discover your inner self, your rise will begin.

Renjan...

I’m sorry.

[Emotional music plays]

I’ll be there today, in the front row of a crowd of thousands.

This time, I don't want to see you through my lens.

I want to watch you from the audience.

Will you only be with me for this stage?

How many stages will there be in this life?

A thousand? Or ten thousand?

[Classical dance music plays]

[Slow emotional music plays]

Hello…

Are you doing well, my children, huh?

I’ll give you food, okay.

Don't fight.

Don't push each other.

Oh! You’ve made the water all dirty, haven't you?

Wasn't it just two days ago that I changed the water and made it all clean, hmm?

The problem with you all is that you don't get a good scolding.

I can’t keep changing the water like this all the time, you hear?

Your dad has grown old, you know.

You must remember that.

You're all I have left to watch over me.

Don’t forget that, okay?

[Laughs]

[Uplifting music plays]

[Tense music plays]

Yes, uncle.

What can I do?

I’ve told dad a hundred times to come and stay here with us.

Hmm.

But he just won’t listen.

He’s not a small child that I can just drag here and make him stay, right?

What can I possibly do?

As for me, I can't get any leave.

Ah! Okay, uncle.

Yes, I suppose that’s the only way now.

Uncle, could you do one thing?

Could you talk to someone and then give me a call?

Hmm, please try, uncle.

Yes, uncle, I have to head to work now.

I’ll call you in the morning.

Please call me once something is decided, okay?

Okay, right, uncle.

Okay, okay, bye.

Is it too hot?

It stings a little, dear, but it doesn't matter.

I think the swelling has gone down.

Let’s dress it with another warm compress in a little while.

Mm.

The swelling should be completely gone by evening, okay?

Mm.

See, let's not wash your hair today.

We can do it tomorrow, okay?

Mm.

[Phone rings]

Yes, dear.

I’ve taken my medicine, dear.

Had my breakfast too, dear.

The rice and curry for lunch are all ready.

You don't need to say a word; she takes care of everything perfectly.

Yes, she is right here.

I'll tell her, okay.

Ok, dear.

Take care.

[Uplifting music plays]

Hi, are you reading a book?

I’ve started a new one, dear.

I’ve set out the medicine, fruits, and water for you.

I’ll call you again tonight.

Don't forget to take these, okay?

Mm.

Let me see that leg.

The swelling is all gone.

It’s looking good.

Do you have any pain?

Not like before.

It has subsided a bit.

That’s alright; at least the swelling is gone.

Mm.

The pain will fade away slowly, okay?

Mm.

Don't be anxious.

Well then, may I leave?

Yes, you may.

Sit still and stay out of trouble; don't be naughty.

No, no.

See you tomorrow, okay?

Ok.

Right then.

[Uplifting music plays]

[Slow emotional music plays]

[Phone rings]

May I take that call?

Sure.

Hello.

Ponnu, hello, can you hear me?

Tell me, I was waiting for your call.

[Laughs]

Go ahead.

Okay, I’m longing to see you soon.

I’ll be at the airport around 7 o'clock.

Okay, right.

I'm in the middle of work.

I'll call you later, okay?

Right, miss you.

Love you too.

You seem very happy after that call.

That was my lover calling.

Ah, I thought so.

It’s been six months since we last met.

Arriving this evening.

Is it paining, Papa?

It's alright.

Papa, I don't know if I should ask this.

But still, may I ask?

Papa, why are you living here all alone?

Why can’t you go and stay with Annie Chechi?

Why, dear?

There’s no need for all that.

What am I lacking here right now?

I lack nothing at all.

Mm.

I am someone who boarded a train to Bombay at the age of nineteen and lived there all by myself.

So, living alone is a habit for me, dear.

Besides, we can do our own things, go where we want, and come as we please.

Dear, if we go and stay somewhere else, we lose our freedom.

Mm.

Then we have to remain dependent on them.

There is no need for that, dear.

Not only that, with my nature, if I stay somewhere else, I’ll get bored after a few days.

[Laughs]

That’s another reason.

Eventually, it becomes a burden for them.

And then, that becomes a burden for me.

What is the need for all that, dear?

I am living here happily on my own, aren't I?

So why bother?

Also, the beautiful memories of the woman who spent her entire life with me are in this house.

Dear, there is something in life that I find very strange.

Do you know what it is?

Two strangers—two perfect strangers.

They meet somewhere.

They get married.

There may be likes and dislikes in their lives.

But as time passes and they live together happily with so much love, one day, death…

Death separates them.

The loss of our loved ones is a bit tough, dear.

The feeling of missing somebody from our life.

That is very hard, very hard to bear.

I am sorry, Papa.

Oh, it doesn't matter, dear.

There’s no need to say sorry.

It’s life.

That's life, isn't it?

We just have to go with the flow.

When we do that, we don't have to be especially sad.

Just consider it a part of life.

We just wandered off talking about random things.

Let’s go feed the fish.

Let’s do that then.

Papa, here is your tea.

I'll drink it.

Dear, what does your boyfriend do?

Hmm?

It's not a boyfriend, Papa; it’s my girlfriend who is coming.

Do you understand what I just said, Papa?

I am in love with a girl like myself.

I don't know how many people here would understand if I told them.

But I am happy in my life.

I understand, dear.

I think I can understand.

You are a brave girl.

See Papa, at the end of the day, we should be happy.

That is what matters, right?

What is the point of living a life just to please society and family?

I am happy.

Everything else is secondary.

What is her name?

Her name is Steffy.

She is a nutritionist in Bangalore.

She’s trying for a job here.

I don't know how it will turn out.

Good.

[Slow emotional music plays]

Papa,, I've left some fruits on the table.

Don't forget to have them, okay?

Alright.

Shall I leave then? It's late.

Ok, ok.

Dear...

What is it Papa, do you need something?

All the best, dear.

Thank you so much.

Okay, I'm off.

Bye.

♪♪

Days are waning, nights are shedding.

Memories are surfacing, and the sting of pain deepens.

Leaves are falling, and wrinkles are deepening.

My pace is slowing... as the darkness grows.

Through the sunsets and the colors of the past,

They flash and fade... touching the depths of my soul.

The windows of my soul gently drift open,

To fall like the rain... before the last light fades.

Your BP is normal.

There are no issues.

How is Steffi doing?

She’s at home.

She arrived quite late last night.

Mm.

We talked for quite a while after that, and she was so tired she fell right asleep.

Mm.

She’s probably still sleeping now.

Dear... how did you realize the love between you two?

I mean…

Pappa, do you want to hear our love story?

Yes.

I’ll tell you.

Steffi and I grew up together since childhood.

How we grew up was... we were together in school.

We were together in the hostel.

We were together through Plus Two.

And in college too.

She’s someone I’ve seen every day since college, right?

That’s why I felt there would never be another person in my life who understood me quite like her.

Because our understanding was that deep.

It was the same for her too.

So, after college was over...

We shared an incredibly strong bond.

But maybe because of our age back then, we didn't fully understand what it was.

Moreover, there would be no one else in my life who understood me this much.

It was the same for me regarding her, you know.

So when college ended, the pressure for marriage started at home.

When the situation reached a point where I had to get married, I couldn't say no.

So I agreed to marry a boy my family chose.

The engagement was over.

From the engagement until the wedding date, I started feeling extremely uncomfortable.

I was filled with tension and sadness.

So I told my mom.

Mom said this is normal for most girls.

She said it was normal.

I also thought things would change once I got married.

But after the wedding, when I reached my husband’s house, I couldn't adjust at all.

I was so unhappy.

I began to get very depressed.

Mm.

I managed to struggle through for about three months.

Later, when I slipped into complete depression, I felt I should talk about it.

But I made some excuses and went back home.

When I got home, all I wanted was to see her.

I remember that moment even now.

My heart was racing.

Even when I saw her from a distance, we both smiled.

But she just stood there, frozen, and I ran and hugged her tight.

I don't think she had any idea; she was just standing there, so peaceful.

She had the same feelings for me, but she hadn't told me before.

Later, we understood that she is my soulmate.

We are soulmates.

I am happy Pappa, I am very happy.

My husband is a good man.

He is a very good person.

When I opened up to him about these situations, he supported us so much.

He was very sincere and open about it.

Because of that, we are very close friends now.

That was very kind of him.

Mm.

He is good.

Yes.

[Soft, soulful melody plays]

[Phone notification chimes]

I think that’s a message from Steffi.

[Soft, soulful melody plays]

Pappa, I’m heading out now.

Okay, dear.

What’s wrong, Pappa? Do you need anything?

Dear... may I ask you something?

Sure.

What is it like to have an affair with the same sex?

It is beautiful.

Good night, Pappa.

Good night.

It is beautiful.

Just relax now.

Okay.

Long ago... and by long ago, I mean about 50 years ago...

I had a love like yours.

Aha! A retro love story? Let me hear it.

When I say love, it wasn't just some ordinary crush.

In your words, I’d call it a love beyond measure.

Awesome!

[Laughs]

Tell me.

My whole life revolved around him.

My dreams, my light, my love, my thoughts... everything was him.

But unlike you, I didn't have the courage to speak up.

I don’t even know if that person loved me back.

But my heart tells me that he did.

The truth is, neither of us dared to say it to each other back then.

Life eventually took us in two different directions.

Him on his path, and me on mine.

Did you never see each other again, Pappa?

The truth is, we met again many years later.

By then, both our lives were moving in completely different directions.

Because of that, that meeting didn't really lead to anything.

Looking back now, it all seems like a big joke.

But at that age, there were moments where I felt like my life was over, you know?

Mm.

Life taught us many other things after that.

We realized that these things aren't the end of the world.

You know, life goes on.

It has its twists, turns, and happiness.

And it goes on.

So, you didn't feel even a little bit sad, Pappa?

[Laughs]

Dear, could you do me a favor?

Mm.

[Soft music plays]

In a distant desert, under a sun that hides its pain,

Tiny streams wander, searching for a memory.

Like a smile scattered in a nearby shade,

Time drifts away, unaware of the story.

A fading shadow, too, has left me halfway.

In this sinking whirlpool, I am all alone.

The night is vanishing, the memories turn cold,

As the sunlight falls upon the rainbow.

[Phone notification chimes]

Kill Me Heal Me

[Phone rings]

Regardless, you take this medicine for two months.

But doctor, I feel a sort of fear when I take medicine continuously.

No, there is nothing to fear.

Take this medicine for two months regardless.

Then your mind will become relaxed.

Will I have to keep taking this medicine even after two months?

No, that won't be necessary.

We can start therapy after that, okay?

Okay then, doctor.

I believe you.

I trust you, doctor.

Okay, okay. I have prescribed the medicine.

You can collect it from the pharmacy.

I have another call to attend to now.

If you need anything, just call me.

Okay? Alright then.

Okay, doctor.

Hello, Michael.

Are you there?

Yes, I am here.

Go ahead, Michael.

Doctor, I am sorry.

Could you hold for two seconds?

Yeah, sure, no problem.

Yeah.

[Tense music plays]

Hello, Michael...

Michael...

Yes. Sorry, doctor.

I am here.

Michael, listen.

I know this is a tough time for anyone involved.

There will be tension and anxiety related to it.

It’s quite common.

Don’t worry too much.

Okay?

Hello, doctor.

I am doing okay.

Okay, good.

I just called to make sure you were doing okay.

If you are worried at all, if you want, I...

No, I am not worried.

Okay.

I think I am finally safe.

Good to hear that, Michael.

You must take all the medicines I gave you on time, okay?

You are never alone.

You can call me anytime for whatever you need.

Also, you must always remember the things I said in the therapy session.

Don't sit alone inside the house like this, okay?

That is when unnecessary thoughts enter the mind.

Always keep your mind occupied.

Also, when you feel stress building up, breathe deeply and remember everything I told you.

You will be good.

Yes, doctor.

Like you always say, I have to accept and embrace the reality.

Accept and embrace!

Accept and embrace!

Perfect.

Just remember those words.

Also, call me immediately if you need anything, okay?

Yes, thank you, doctor.

Okay Michael, take care.

Thank you.

Hey! Michael, dear!

Hey man…

Hi dear!

This is a surprise.

I didn’t know you guys were coming.

Come in, come in.

Do we need an appointment to come see you now? Please!

So, finally you are a free man.

Shouldn't we celebrate this?

Let's celebrate.

What’s with the knife, man?

Oh! I am so sorry guys.

I was sitting alone and got a bit stressed out.

Sorry.

I knew it.

That’s why we all came to see you. Ok?

Exactly.

First, put that stress aside. Just chill out, okay?

Look at this. This is for your freedom, bro.

Let’s celebrate!

I thought I'd have dinner and go to bed early.

I was actually preparing for that.

Don't be so moody. Cheer up, man.

Hey, our friends are on the way.

They stopped to pick up some food.

They'll be here soon.

Once they arrive, we’ll pour a few rounds and make it a night to remember!

Once they get here, his "mood off" will completely vanish.

Exactly, just chill.

Hey, what brand is this?

[Song]

Hey, are you okay?

Yeah...I'm okay.

It’s just been a long time since I’ve seen everyone.

You know, with the partying, the music, and everything...

I had forgotten all of this.

[Laughs]

That’s the point!

From here on out, just focus on living your life.

Enjoy your life, man.

This is the moment.

Come on, have a drink.

I'll hold that for you.

[Song]

Hello guys, listen up!

A small announcement.

Our dear friend... whom we thought we lost for a long time...

Michael has returned today, stronger than ever!

So, cheers to Michael!

Cheers!

[Song]

Who was that?

Hmm?

Who was that?

Who is that?

Who?

Someone just went into the kitchen. Who was it?

That was probably just Mithun.

No.

[Song] [Tense, suspicious music plays]

Hey, hey…

Yes, Mike.

What happened? All good?

Yeah...

I got the ice, guys!

Yeah!!!!

Hey…

What, man?

I just saw Veena there.

Veena?

Yes, Veena.

What madness are you talking about? You saw Veena?

[Vibrant party music plays]

Hey...

Hey...

Veena, open...

Hey…

[Tense, suspicious music plays]

Accept and embrace!

Where did he go?

[Rapid, persistent knocking]

Michael, open the door!

I’m in the bathroom.

Hey, come out. How long are you going to stay in there?

Two minutes, I’m coming.

Michael, open the door first.

You guys go, I’ll come.

[Rapid, persistent knocking]

Michael…

Please stop.

[Tense, mysterious music plays]

[Tense, mysterious music plays]

Hello Guys!!

[Tense, mysterious music plays]

He has the anxiety and tension associated with it...

Accept and Embrace

[Rapid, persistent knocking]

Hey...

[Tense, mysterious music plays]

Accept and embrace!

Accept and embrace!

Accept and embrace!

Accept and embrace!

Accept and embrace!

Hey, I reached home.

Don’t hang up, just hold, no problem.

Honestly, I don't care.

I'm not sad anymore.

It’s true.

It’s a huge relief just to have escaped from him.

I don't want his property, his money—nothing.

I don’t think I will be seeing him ever again.

Jesus Christ! Michael!!!

What are you doing here?

I...

I accept and embrace my reality.

What are you doing here?

You shouldn't be here!

Thank you for the party, guys.

[Sound of a river flowing]

You don’t have any other choice.

Do I really need to repeat myself?

You’ve got a lot of things to take care of... right?

Mm.

Hmm?

[Tense music plays]

Here, take this.

Take it!

[Tense music continues]

Don’t waste time, Kaali.

Get in the vehicle, now.

We’ve got quite a journey ahead of us.

Kaali...

[The rickshaw engine sputters and pulls away]

With eyes lined in kohl and soot...

Adorning her feet with silver bells...

To send my little flower away.

Thinking of your future, I act to protect you.

There is no way but to part.

My heart burns with the sting of goodbye.

The crimson rose withers and burns...

The crimson rose withers and burns...

[Tense music plays]

Kaali... [Tense music plays]

Kaali...

Let me go! I’d rather die.

Get in the vehicle.

[Tense music plays]

Should we stop here?

No, stop at the gate.

If there’s any trouble, it’ll be easier to dump her and get away.

Kill the lights.

Go.

Come.

[Suspenseful music plays]

Stop right there! I’m calling the police!

Ah!

[Suspenseful music plays]

They’ve caught her.

She doesn’t need anyone’s help to escape that place.

We’re the ones who need to worry about getting away.

Who are you?

Do you think you can just run away after trying something like this?

What’s going on, Cicily?

She was trying to abandon this baby here and run away, Mother.

I stopped her just in time.

Where are you coming from?

What’s your name?

Did you hear me?

Who are you?

What is this about?

[Infant baby wails]

I’m talking to you! Where are you from?

We already have more children than we can care for in this convent.

There are only four of us to look after twenty children.

And don't even get me started on the lack of funds.

You are the one who should be looking after your child at this age.

Do I really need to tell you how much a baby this small needs its mother?

[Cries]

As long as you are able-bodied, we cannot take this child from you.

[Cries]

Do you understand?

Now, don't leave the child on the ground.

Pick up the baby!

I said, pick up the child!

Pick the baby up, now.

Please pick the baby....

[Cries]

Now, leave. Quickly.

It’s starting to rain.

Mother, look... someone is waiting for her out there.

[Suspicious music plays]

[Infant baby wails]

[Cries]

[Emotional music swells]

They just break the locks and walk right in.

Cicily...

What is it, Mother?

I feel we’ve made a mistake.

As if we've done something unpleasing to the Lord.

[Suspicious music plays]

Get the car, Cicily.

Yes, Mother.

[Suspicious music plays]

I’ll have your "suicide pawn" there soon.

When I give my word, I keep it.

[Tense music plays]

[Heavy downpour]

It’s a real downpour, Cicily.

It’s alright, Mother.

Let’s go see if we can find them.

Lord, please lead us to them.

[Tense music plays]

Paappy...

Yes, Mother?

Paappy, a woman came to the convent with a baby.

They left in an auto-rickshaw... heading that way.

We’re looking for them.

Can you come with us?

I’ll come right now.

Hurry, then.

Get in before you’re soaked.

[Stirring violin music plays]

There they are!

Hmm.

[Emotional music plays]

We’ve come to take the baby.

Which baby?

DAVID....

Welcome everyone to Episode 1 of "Learn to speak English with Vivek."

We Malayalis all know English.

Everyone knows how to read and write it well.

We can understand it too.

But the majority of people are unable to speak it.

It's not that they don't know how;

It's the tension of making mistakes or worrying about what others will think.

So, through this training episode,

Our aim is to make you confident enough to speak English without mistakes.

So, practice by speaking along with us.

Let's give it a try.

Today, the first thing we are going to learn is the preposition "on."

”On”...

"On"... In Malayalam, it means "il."

Meaning, "on leave" means "leavil."

“On leave.” Meaning, "on leave" means "leavil."

Meaning, "on leave" means "leavil."

Similarly, "on duty."

“On duty.”

Don't say "in leave" or "in duty," okay?

Many people say it that way.

The correct usage is "on leave" and "on duty."

“On leave”, “on duty.”

How do you say "Njan innu leave aanu"?

I am on leave.

I am on leave today.

You must say it along with me.

First I’ll say it in Malayalam, then in English.

Then you must practice it.

I am on leave/on duty.

How do you say "Njan ippol dutyil aanu”? I am on leave/on duty.

I am on duty now.

Now, if someone calls and asks "nee evidaanu," what answer would we give?

"Duty" I am on duty now.

I am on the way.

"On the way" means "“varunna vazhikku."

How do you say "Njan vannu kondu irikkukayaanu ennu"? "On the Way...

I am on the way.

“On the way.”

“Njan innu leave aanu”... I am on leave today.

“Njan ippol dutyil aanu”... I am on duty now.

“Njan varunna vazhiyil aanu”... I am on the way.

So today's lesson on "on" is over.

A workbook regarding this...

[Phone rings]

David, what's the status?

Did they call?

They said the delivery is tonight.

Mm.

I'll do the handover.

Okay, good.

And the consignment?

I'm going to collect the packet now.

I.....

Mm?

"I am on the way."

Okay, good.

I'll call you.

Hhmm. I am on the way.

Bro, cleaning?

Okay, good.

[Acoustic guitar music plays]

[Phone rings]

Hello…

Hello... Is it David?

Yeah.

I'm Sagar.

I'm calling because Saleem bro told me to.

Ok.

Didn't Saleem bro tell you about it?

Sagar! Where are you now?

I'm at your house right now.

There's no one here.

At my house?

Yes.

Did Saleem bro tell you to go there?

Yes.

Hello, what should I do now?

You just wait.

Saleem bro is calling me.

Let me check.

Hello...

Hello…

Saleem bro...

Yes.

What have you done?

Did you tell that boy to come to my house?

Look, first you listen to what I have to say.

First of all, you need to stop giving my number to everyone back home.

It’s a real nuisance.

What was I supposed to do?

That boy is our Kartha sir’s son.

Even yesterday Kartha sir called me and asked to keep him with us so he could learn the ropes. What could I say?

Oh, Saleem bro!

I was in a position where I couldn't say no, dear.

Please just handle it somehow.

Don't you know the risk involved in the work I do?

That...

Don't you?

I know that.

If I take him along for this kind of work, both he and I will get into trouble.

And on top of that, you keep sending people.

Tell him whatever you have to and just get him off my back.

This won't work.

Dear, don't say that.

Just adjust somehow for today.

That...

By then, we can find a way out.

My dear Saleem bro, that's not going to happen.

Ok, ok, ok, ok.

No, Saleem bro, listen to what I’m saying.

I said I'll call you later.

Saleem bro…

Hello…

Damn...

Yes. What did you say your name was?

Sagar.

Okay, Sagar.

Sagar, do one thing.

Ok.

I'll send the location. Just come there.

Ok.

In the evening.

Ok, cool bro!

[Acoustic guitar playing]

[Song]

[Suspicious music plays]

Whoa! Killer lights!

[Dog barking in the distance]

Hi…

What the hell are you doing?

Huh? This?

I was just practicing.

What if things don't go as we planned?

We should be prepared.

Just practice.

You know what they say—practice makes a man perfect.

Yes.

A black cap, glowing glasses, and a flashy shirt…

Huh?

What is all this?

This? I did this so no one would recognize me.

People shouldn't be able to figure us out.

A disguise?

Yes.

Look, the first thing you need for this job is "gopyatha."

Huh? Gopyatha! You mean secrecy?

Hmm.

Oh, okay.

This is how it works: you deliver the package, you collect the money, and you get out of there.

Mm-hmm.

Live like an ordinary person.

Yes.

That is the first requirement for this work.

Mm.

Behave normally, man.

Don't just go out wearing all these ridiculous costumes.

Huh!

Making a fool out of yourself in front of people.

I’ll do anything for you, bro.

Not "bro."

Call me D.

Di? Not "Da," is it "Di"?

D for David.

S. S for Sagar.

Huh?

Okay, D.

I just want to learn the ropes.

I want to be a cool smuggler like "D."

Drive in, make the swap, pocket the cash, and we’re out. Smooth!

I have a doubt, D.

What if the police catch the guy we hand the box to while he's on his way?

What if they beat him up and make him tell the truth?

Won't we get caught too? Huh? No?

Definitely.

We won't just get caught; they’ll bury us.

They’ll finish me, and they’ll finish you.

Hmm. Risky game!

There is risk; not everyone can handle it.

Hmm.

Damn, it’s been a while.

What time is it?

Eleven.

23:00 hours. Copy that.

Doesn't it sound cooler when you say it like that?

23:00 hours, huh?

No?

Are you high on weed?

What?

I asked if you've smoked weed?

No.

Then what about the birds circling over your head?

Hmm.

Man, you are high and out of it.

No. I’m high and "on" it.

Because your father, Kartha Sir, is a simple man and because Saleem bro is a good person—

That’s the only reason I let you sit inside this...

Coming here all high and drunk.

If you ever get into my car like this again...

Huh?

Then even if the Jesus—let alone Kartha—says so, I won't listen.

I'll kick you out of here.

Do you understand?

Hmm.

His Pathetic off and on..... His Pathetic off and on.....

[Trippy, psychedelic music plays]

Hey...

Sagar...

Sagar!

Oh!

[Laughs]

Got any water?

Hey, don't you dare touch that bag.

Put it back where it was.

Huh?

I said put it back!

I was just checking if there was any water.

Why on earth did I bring him along?

I was just looking for water, bro.

Oh, sorry, D.

[Trippy, psychedelic music plays]

[Phone rings]

Hello?

Is this David?

Who is this? Who's calling?

Is this David?

Yes, please hold on.

David?

Hello?

David.

David?

Yes, Stephen.

Who picked up the phone?

Just my assistant.

Sagar.

Okay. Is the consignment all right?

I've collected the bag.

Everything is safe.

Hmm. Has it been delivered?

No, not yet. I’m waiting.

I’ll call you when the deal is done.

Okay, call me after the deal. Okay....

I'm ready.

Which Sir was calling just now?

Let me make a note of that.

If you touch anything in this car without asking me...

I’ll cut your hand off, understand?

Move over.

The bag?

I've got it, thanks.

[Veena strings plucking]

If you don't tell me things, how am I supposed to learn the trade?

Sagar, this isn't child's play.

This is serious business.

No "serious-less," it's "serious-more"!

Okay, okay, cool man, I know.

It’s a bloody serious game

[Guitar music plays]

But it’s boring, man.

How much longer for that guy?

This work is boring.

You have to wait.

You have to struggle and endure the grit to get the cash.

Can I suggest an idea?

We’re just sitting here waiting anyway.

Let's call him, find out where he is, and go to him.

Give the stuff, get the hell out. Easy!

How’s my idea?

Idea's not working!

Fine, it's a dud.

Okay.

Oh no! Did it fall?

What is that?

Did it get scratched?

Great, you brought a toy gun along.

Huh? Toy gun?

It’s fully loaded.

My dad’s gun. Original.

Sagar, this is a simple handover.

We give them the bag, take the money, get in the car, and go home.

I’ve done this for years.

We don't need guns or any of this nonsense.

Give it to me.

No.

This is dangerous, Sagar.

Give me the gun.

It only fell just now!

Otherwise, you wouldn't even know I had it on me.

Give me the gun, man.

I’ll keep it safe.

Keep the gun if you want, but give me the bullets.

What do I need a gun for if it doesn't have bullets?

What do you need a gun with bullets for?

To shoot!

Sagar...

Look, you came here to learn the craft, right?

Keep the gun, but give the bullets to me.

I’m the one asking.

Yours.

What is this?

Bullets.

One’s missing. Where is it?

What? There’s five there... right?

One for me.

Are you crazy?

That thing will go off!

Hey....

See? It didn't go off. It’s safe, bro.

Only a 16% chance of it firing. No big deal.

You...

Safe, bro.

Look, dear... give me that gun.

No.

Why do you even need a gun?

For safety. Your safety is my duty, bro.

I know how to look after our safety.

Now give it here.

No.

Man, give me the gun.

No.

Hand it over!

It’s my gun.

Give it to me!

No!

Give it to me.

Don't play with weapons!

No, no, no!

Give it to me!

[Gunshot fires]

Oh Jesus!

Yes, yes! See? Told you.

Was I right about that 16% chance or what? See?
