Oh, Lord! Protect us.

Appan, some people are here
to see you.

It's the trustee members
of Kanimangalam Temple.

They want us to co-operate
in organising

the annual temple festival.

I see.

It has been 16 years..

It has been 16 years since the last
temple celebration.

I have been using only my left eye
for all these years.

I have seen the destruction
of Kanimangalam.

It's not yet over.

I want to see the palace in ruins.

I want to enjoy that sight.

I have the blessings of the Gods

I've been worshipping
with devotion.

Mangalam, have no fear.

One must be a little courageous.

Hey, Nambeesan.
- Yes?

On our way back

I will display my courage
just for you.

I will show you.
Then what?

He has been pulling my leg
for some time now.

You're right.
I am a bit scared.

Sharody, aren't you feeling it?
- What?

Are you asking about courage
or fear?

What do you feel right now?

If you ask me so, I am not scared.

It is just a weird feeling.

You don't have to complicate it.

This is what we call fear.
- Rubbish!

Are we here to steal something?

Or are we here to kill someone?

We just need to meet him
and discuss the matter. That's it.

Is Kolapulli Appan a wild elephant

to be so scared of?
- You're right!

What?
- Yes, he is a wild tusker.

Is there anyone man enough
in Kanimangalam to tame him?

Tell me.

Why are you all standing mum?

Apputty Nambiar.

I have a problem of blabbering
nonsense.

You are the master of Karate!

Pardon me.

It is not Karate,
it's 'Kalari'. - Oh.

Ouch!

What are people from Kanimangalam
doing in Kolapulli?

None of them is good enough
to be invited inside.

So, I made them stand here.

You can now tell him the matter.

Sharody, you better take
the initiative. - You could

guess the purpose of our visit.

You need to show some mercy.

The Kanimangalam temple festival
should be organised this year.

It has been 16 years
since the last festival.

We have all experienced the adverse
effects of that.

Every person has faced

the wrath of the Goddess.

We don't have to tell you
the devastated condition

of the Kanimangalam Manor.

It's completely in ruins.

The rightful owners of the palace

are now settled in the city.

The worshipping in the temple
is all unorganised

and the palace is abandoned.

There is no one
to take care of things.

Lord, only you can find a solution
for this problem.

We are well aware of the past,
my Lord.

Your face reminds us of the cruelty
done by Lord Dathan.

He got the punishment
for his doings.

It's been years since he lost
his mental balance and ran away.

We are not even sure if he is alive
or not.

You should have a heart to pardon
and forget the past.

We need your permission to take
the ornaments of the deity

for the temple festival.

Enough! You don't have to say more.

Sixteen years ago

I had taken an oath by taking
a fistful of sand

soaked in my blood.

Do you think I will step back
from that decision?

You can leave.

You don't have to come again
with this request.

Let Kanimangalam Manor
be destroyed.

I want to see it in ruins!

Then, I'll think about
reconsidering my decision.

You can leave!

There's nothing left to say
or hear.

Didn't you hear him?
- We did.

Are you left with anything to say?

We could've waited to hear
that as well. - Damn!

Enough, dear.

I still have a fever.

I feel very tired.

That's the reason
I called you here.

What's the matter?

I got to know that people
had come from Kanimangalam.

If you could permit

for the temple festival this year..
- No!

You don't have to say anything,
Subhadra.

The women here need
not take decisions.

The men in this Kolapulli family
are still alive.

Do you've anything else to say?

No.

This is wrong.

You shouldn't be so adamant.

You don't have to teach me
what is right or wrong.

I made only one mistake in my life.

Not being able to withstand
your grief

I got you married to a scoundrel

like Kanimangalam Dathan.

I got punished for getting
my sister married

to a bloody Casanova like him.

Not just 16 years..

My revenge against that family

will never subside.

You know your brother, Subhadra.

Just lie there without
uttering a word.

So, the temple festival will happen
only if the ornaments are given

by the Kolapulli family, right?
- Yes.

That is the tradition.

It's the practice since
the olden days.

We cannot go against it.

But I heard that Kanimangalam
Manor was for sale.

I got to know this from our MLA.

That was a decision made by
the children of Mrs. Lakshmi.

Many people had come here
to see the palace.

But when they see
this ruined temple

they step back from buying it.

If at all someone decides to buy it

Kolapulli Appan would stop them.

Mrs. Subhadra is the wife

of Lord Dathan,
who is Mrs. Lakshmi's brother.

She is Appan's sister.

These assets belong to her as well.

That is what Appan uses
in his favour.

If at all someone buys this palace

what will be the condition
of Krishnavarma?

Are you talking about that singer?
- Yes.

How is he related to Kanimangalam
family? - He has no relation.

Mrs. Lakshmi used to run
a dance

and music school in the palace.

He was a music teacher there.

Why did he stay back here
even after

Mrs. Lakshmi's demise?

That was his fate.

Lord Dathan's daughter, Unnimaya

is a very unlucky child.

She doesn't know about her mother.

Long back, at a dusk

Lord Dathan brought home

a small baby wrapped in a cloth.

He said that it was his child

and that her mother had died.

He ordered Mrs. Lakshmi

to look after the baby.

Since everyone was scared of Dathan

nobody even tried to question him.

Nobody knows anything about

her mother's whereabouts.

Mr. Krishnavarma was the one
who raised that child.

Pillai, did you understand?

Those two will become homeless

if that palace is sold.

I have never seen that girl.

She is a very graceful
and well-mannered girl.

She is smart.

She teaches music and dance
to small kids

to earn a living.

It is all fate.

Her father was a peculiar man

who left the village once he became
mentally ill.

God knows who her mother is!

Poor girl.

Have you started already?

I see that you have
an audience too.

Only you'll bother
to keep him company.

I once used to have
an audience for real.

That's enough.. You need not
repeat those stories again.

I wonder who
would be patient enough

to listen to this.

Neverland!

How dare you!

I was Chembai Vaidyanatha's
most favourite disciple.

The King of Kollankodu
was so impressed with my music

that he gifted me this
harmonium with love.

Along with Rs. 500.

It will be equivalent to around
Rs. 50,000 now.

I don't need to convince you.

You are narrating this story to me

for the umpteenth time.

You make me do that.

Like you are a great singer!

Are you M. S. Subbulakshmi?

Maybe you are in front of
your students. - That'll do.

At least I have an audience.

Unlike you, whose audience
are cats and dogs.

Quit back chatting at this hour!

Have you lit the lamps?
- Yes.

Have you filled the lamps with oil?
- Why not?

Then carry on, Subbulakshmi.
- I shall, Chembai.

They will sell it.
It is for sure.

Balaraman has no other choice.

His business in
Bangalore is not doing well.

His wife leads a posh life.

I heard that he is neck deep
in debts.

Mrs. Lakshmi's other children
are suffering too.

We can't stop them.
They'll do as they like.

And let them.
But..

Unnimaya is their uncle's daughter.
I hope they don't forget that.

It's always the
easiest to forget.

It helps too.

Who is the buyer?

We don't know for sure.
He is an outsider.

Will they regularly
conduct the festivals?

Will they be believers?
- Don't keep such hopes.

They may destroy it too.

Affluent people these
days would opt for it.

Is that what concerns you?

We'll be left homeless.

We aren't going anywhere, Dad.

I have rights
to my father's property.

Let me see who'll deny me
that right.

Does anyone doubt that I am
not Mr. Dathan's daughter?

We don't have any
written evidence to prove that.

But I know it and
that's the proof.

Don't worry about this, Dad.

I'll take care of it.

Did you hear that?

She addresses me as her dad.

She knows that
I am no one to her.

She has been seeing me
as her dad ever since.

And that's what keeps me here.

Oh, Goddess.

I hope that we don't have
to end up on the streets.

I can't leave this place.

Hello.

James.
Where is Jagan?

He was here a few minutes ago.

He's nowhere to be found now.

I don't know where
he has gone to.

Oh, shit!
Everything is a mess.

Aby Mathew has cheated us.

He has a gone back on his word.

He is going to collaborate

the Australian company
with Ramaswamy Associates.

Rascal!
James.

I want you to search
for Jagannathan.

I need him.

I can't do anything without him.

Yes.
Get him to me, James.

Yes.
This is Nandakumar.

Lord Shiva!

Oh, Jagan.
Where are you calling from?

I heard that you'd
find it hard to rest

if you don't see me alive.

Where are you calling from?

We are in a crisis.
- Nandakumar..

Don't you know Erick John
from Denmark?

The crazy violinist?

He has arrived today from Manali.

He is here with some weed.

I am going to meet him.

I met a friend on the way.

We are in the middle of
a discussion now. Pour some more.

I will be going to
watch a Ghazal concert later.

Kishan Mathur will be performing.
Will you be coming?

Don't drive me nuts here.

I am in a pickle right now.

Some weed may help.

You may add rum or Cola to it.

Aby has messed with me.

I heard that he was
going to give that contract

to Ramaswamy Associates.

Did you?
- I am the one who knows it all!

Lord Shiva!

You must come.

Nothing will happen
unless you come.

I must not lose that contract.

Such a waste of a beautiful night.

Don't worry.
Why don't you have a drink?

Keep count on the number
of pegs you have.

I will be there
before the fourth one.

What?
Are you going alone?

Let's get Erick John
and his friends too.

Why leave them out?

After all, we are celebrating
our 50th Independence day.

Praise to thee, Mother.

Go now..

Get in.

I will ride it.

Lord Shiva!

Excuse me.

I wanted to meet Mr. Aby Mathew.
- Sorry, mister.

We can't let you inside.

It's urgent.
- Mister!

You can't meet him now.
Can't you understand?

Leave now.

Get here!

Hey!
I will fuck you, bastard!

Hi there. We would like
to meet Mr. Aby Mathew.

Just a minute, sir.
- Hello.

Hi.

I hope you have an appointment.
- Yes, we do.

Are you sure?
- Sure.

There he is.
Mr. Aby Mathew has come.

Hello.
- Hello. - I am Aby Mathew.

I am Erick from Denmark.

Hi.
- Hello.

If you don't mind, please
spare us some time. - Sure, yes.

This way!

I see that you were
willing to meet others!

You must stick
to your words! - Leave me, please.

Hadn't you promised that business
contract to Nandakumar?

How can you give it
to Ramaswamy?

Your grandfather

used to earn a living
selling livestock.

He used to sell them in the market.
He is no more.

Or else, I would have
let him teach you

the tactics and ideals
of running a business!

This ends your discussion
with Ramaswamy.

As per the deal,
the contract belongs to Nandakumar.

If the commission is less,
he is willing to pay you.

However, that deal must be his.

Leave me, Jagan..
I'll tell you everything.

Please.

No!

Hey!
If I push you

your body
will scatter into pieces!

There won't
be the need of a coffin!

A polyethene bag
would be more than enough!

Tell me.

Come on. All the business tricks
that you learned in the USA

won't come to your rescue.

I need you to give me your word
and I want you to stick to it.

That deal should be Nandakumar's.
Tell me..

Okay, Jagan. You have my word.
Trust me..

If you break your promise,
I won't spare you!

This is Jagan. Mind it.

Yes..

The fourth peg.

You have come here
before the fourth peg.

That's Jagan!

Something that only you can do!
He had called me.

That scoundrel.
Aby Mathew.

He said, I can sign the contract
with the Australians tomorrow.

Moron!

Sit.

Do you know what
the profit you earned us today is?

Crores of rupees! Not just one
or two, but Rs. 50 crores!

Rs. 50 crores!

Jagan, tell me.
How much do you want?

Rs. 5 crores or Rs. 10 crores?

Do you want half of the money?

No.

Rascal!
Don't turn down the money.

I will give you anything
you ask for. You deserve it.

You are my lucky charm.

My profit started multiplying
ever since I met you.

Tell me.
How much do you want?

Isn't this your wallet?
- Yes.

This is more than enough.

A bottle of rum, two packs of
cigarette and a trip

around the city in
a taxi till morning. That's enough.

Don't tell me
about huge sums of money.

I don't like hearing about it.

I hate seeing
more money than I need.

No way..

I want to celebrate it!

What else do you want if you
don't want money?

Do you want to fly
to Paris tomorrow? - Why?

To sleep with beautiful women!
- Jeez! - Or get drunk!

Just for a change.

Or we could spend it on gambling
in the casinos in Las Vegas. - No.

Tell me.
I will buy you anything

that money can buy
in this world.

Anything?
- Anything.

Then buy this for me.

What is it? An old house?

Where is it?
- Kerala.

A palace on the banks
of River Bharathapuzha.

I don't know
how much it would cost us.

I am worth Rs. 250 crores!

If it would cost more than that,
please give me some time.

You could buy the entire state
of Kerala with Rs. 250 crores!

I just need this.

James.
- Sir.

Yes, sir.

Didn't you hear him? I want you
to buy it tomorrow itself.

You may withdraw the necessary
amount from the bank. - Yes, sir.

What's your relationship with
this old palace?

A wish.. Madness..

A petty affection or craze for the
antiquated things and the past.

You can call it anything.
- James. - Sir.

Buy it in Nandan's name and
not mine. - No..

Let's buy it in your name.
Why should I be involved?

No, Nandan. I will lose
the thrill if it's mine.

I could be there in place of you.

I want to be a tenant
till I breathe my last.

I don't want to buy anything
for myself. No strings attached.

I want it to end in that fashion.
- This isn't craziness

but insanity!

I will come to see your palace
after my European trip.

You aren't going anywhere tonight.

We'll get drunk
and let's fall asleep together.

If you want, I can arrange
a couple of women..

No..
- ...to give us company!

Lord Shiva!

Didn't you
check the documents, Mr. James?

Yes.
- What is the confusion then?

We are still
doubtful about something.

That's what the lawyer said.

To be on the safe side,
we need to ensure that there won't

be any objections from that party..

There is no validity for my uncle's
wife's right to this property.

How could she have any rights to
his property as they are childless?

That I agree. But it's just an
assumption that he is dead.

He is missing, right?

There has been no information about
him for the past 15 years.

He'd have passed away. - Just a
belief. There is no evidence.

See, Mr. Balaraman.

If Lady Subhadra
moves legally in the future

it will be a problem.

Open the door.

What is it? Go out, Govindankutty.
- Shut up, Pillai.

Who amongst you is here to buy
the palace? Is it you? - Yes.

Who are you? - It's not necessary
that you should know me.

You need Lord Appan's permission
to buy the palace.

We are here to take
you to Kolapulli Manor.

Don't cause any trouble.
Leave..

He is the
one who will be in trouble.

If you want to avoid that,
meet the Lord. - I won't.

You may leave. - Sir, do you know
how dangerous a place this is?

You'll be in deep trouble.
This place is fraught with danger.

Don't threaten me. - Govindankutty.
- Go. Mind your own business.

Forget the threat!
I will beat the hell out of you!

What's happening? - Don't create a
scene. Govindankutty.. - Leave him.

You!
- Jeez! Don't hit him!

Stop it! This is the government's..
- Shut up, Pillai. - Govindan..

Thrash him!

Govindankutty..
What on earth are you doing?

Why are you hitting him?
- I won't let you do this here.

I will call the cops.

To hell with your arrogance!

How dare you mess with the people
of Kolapulli! - What is this?

Why are you hitting him?
- Thrash him!

Oh, God! - Thrash him!
- What are you doing?

Why are you beating him up?

Leave him.
- Who the hell are you? - Me?

My name is Bappu and I am
from Thangalangady. Why do you ask?

Are you his friend?
If yes, we'll thrash you as well.

No way. I don't let morons
like you lay a finger on me.

If you are here
to buy Kanimangalam Manor

I will chop off the legs
of every single one of you!

You might have only dealt with

measly opponents until now.

I'm the one who is here
to buy Kanimangalam Manor.

If there is anyone man enough

to fight me, he is most welcome!

Are you the local thug here?

How dare you beat James!

Get lost..

Well done!
He deserves it.

Who do you think you are?
Mr. Kerala?

Stand properly.
Let..

Get lost!

I'm Ezhuthachan.
- I'm Soman Pillai.

I'm the guest house manager.
Please come in.

Come.
- Come, Bappu.

No, thank you.

Mr. Varma.

It was not nice of you to
keep us in the dark about

the rest of the heirs.

I never expected that
from a man like you.

It's not fair.

Kolapulli Appan is
hell-bent on doing this.

He will prevent the sale
no matter who shows up.

He just enjoys it.
Neither will he buy it

nor will he let
anyone else take it.

Are you dropping your
plans of buying the manor?

Well..

It's not a decision that I can
easily reverse, Mr. Pillai.

How about I meet Kolapulli Appan?

I'll have a word with him.

He is deadly.
- The only way to get smart

is by playing with
a smarter opponent.

How else will it be thrilling?

What do you say, Bappu?
- Yes.

My Lord,
with the kind of games you play

he will surely meet his match.

Is he a nobleman?
From which manor?

All in good time, Ezhuthachan.

We shall send men to Palakkad
and summon Advocate Mani Iyer.

We'll file an injunction from the
court in Kochi barring the sale.

What do you say, Appan?
- Evade, you moron!

Didn't you hear me?

I did, Uncle.
We shall arrange for the lawyer.

But he will be here before that.
The one who wants to buy the manor.

The evil deities
will bring him here.

This is where I stop.

The people from Kanimangalam
are not allowed inside.

That was before.
Come, Ezhuthachan.

No one will stop you.
Come.

Bappu.
- Go on.

They won't like a man of
another religion in there.

Attack and spring back!

Swing to the left and right!
Change course!

Swing and block!
Left and right!

Stretch! That's it!

Is that him?

It must be.

Weapons once deployed
and words once spoken..

Both can't be taken back.
Remember that.

It will save you one day.

My name is Jagannathan.

I came here to meet you.

I need to speak
with you in private.

Kindly hear me out.

I demolish and sell old houses
for a living.

My friend told me about a manor
with lots of woodwork.

That is how I ended up here.

I paid a sum in advance as well.

Only you can save me now, my Lord.

This is my biggest venture.

If the brokers are right, there
is a lot of woodwork in there.

It consists purely
of teak and rosewood.

It is worth the money I spent.

Our traditional doors and windows
are of high demand in Bangalore.

I'll sell the bricks and
roof tiles in the local market.

If you help me now, I'll sell you
the land for a decent price.

I am not interested in that land.

Are you certain that you
will demolish it?

Yes. Am I going to live there,
my Lord?

What am I going to do
in a remote area like this?

If you plan on demolishing it

why did you buy the land?
- That is how I operate.

Once the land becomes mine,
we can do as we please.

Also, isn't it an old manor?

What if I discover something
valuable while demolishing it?

It has happened before.

If you could give me a solution..

You may proceed.
The registration won't be stopped.

You must begin the demolition
immediately.

Got it?
- Of course!

We only need a few days once
the registration is over.

Shall I proceed?
- You shall.

Kolapulli Appan!

He is a scumbag!

That is why I chose
a different tactic with him.

Why should we care
since the registration is done?

The game starts now.

The real game begins now,
Bappu.

Appan will react once he realises
that I won't demolish the manor.

When are you returning to Dubai,
Bappu? - I'll be here.

Just make a call to Thangalangady
when you need anything.

I'll be here the next second.

Mr. Nandakumar had called
even yesterday.

He asked me never to leave
your side. - Sir.

What should I do?

Shall I go?
- Yes..

You may leave, James.
Since Nandan and I are not there

you must be there in Bangalore.

Inform Nandan about the events
here. - Okay, sir.

I'll be shifting to the manor
tomorrow.

Why, sir? Is the guest house
not good enough?

No, Pillai.
It's a wish.

I'll only be here for a few days.

I'll spend it there.

Who is it?
- That..

Is that you, Govindankutty?
- Yes.

What is it?
- Well..

Are you here to fight me?
- No.

I'm a bit drunk.
That is bad for you.

Once the booze kicks in

I won't care.
I'll fight like anything.

Are you feeling something?

Forgive me, sir.
I was arrogant.

It made me do foolish things.

I won't repeat it.
I'll be with you

until you ask me to leave.
Please don't abandon me.

I am not a gang leader like Appan.

So naturally, I don't need
bodyguards as well. - Okay.

Consider me as your servant.

We, the people of Kanimangalam,
have a leader now.

We'll stand with pride
against Kolapulli folks.

It was fear that made me join them.

What Govindankutty said is right.

The people of Kanimangalam
have a Lord now. Our own Lord!

Who are you?

Who are you?

Are you deaf?

Who are you?

Yes.

I was just passing by.

What are you doing in the temple?

This is not public property.

May I know who you are?

That's not the answer
I was expecting.

What is this?

Are you the Goddess
who resides in this temple?

Yes. Have you seen the Goddess
before to think otherwise?

Have you?

True.

A face glowing radiantly

and luscious hair.

An aura of divinity
that surrounds you.

If I have to describe
you like this

I should have been born blind.

You look like a scarecrow.

Are you the servant in the palace?

I'm keeping mum

as we are in the temple.

A servant!

I am the Lady of the palace,
mister.

Who is this Lady that I have
not heard of?

And who the hell are you?

I am the Lord.

Lord Jagannathan
of Kanimangalam Manor.

You certainly don't
look like a Lord.

Are you the servant of the one
who bought the palace?

I might be right.
We live in crazy times.

Move away, Lord!

One more thing.

Tell the Lord

that I want to meet him.

I want to talk to him.

You are the epitome of arrogance.

I'll get back at you.

What did you say?
- Lord Shiva!

He is not only a Lord

but a smart man as well.

He is a rare breed.

We are in trouble, dear.

What is it?

The Lord who bought
the palace has come.

When he came to know that
you both were still here

he showed his true nature.

He is furious.

What shall we do now?

I know what to do.

Let me pay him a visit.
- What?

What?
- Well

I'll tell him that we don't plan
to leave anytime soon.

What?

Stop, dear.

Unnimaya is adamant, Mangalam. I
don't know what's going to happen.

Fate will take the route
it desires.

We are in trouble.

What?

Hey, mister.

What is it, ma'am?

Call your boss.

What is it?

I will discuss it with him.

Is it a secret?

Am I not supposed to hear it?

Don't irritate me.
Call him now!

Who should I say is here for him?

Unnimaya.

Is that your name?

Yes. Unnimaya!

Don't shout.

Will he recognise you by your name?
- Yes, he will.

Hey! Someone named Unnimaya
has come to meet you.

Hey!
Mangalam has escaped.

Mangalam has escaped.

I am the one who bought
this palace.

What do you have to say?

This is Mr. Krishnavarma.

What is your intention?

Well, won't you both
vacate this palace?

Do you think it is right of you
to do so?

No. It's not because I don't know

but we are helpless.

I don't care about that.

I have completed all the
formalities for buying this manor.

The palace, the surrounding plot

the properties, artefacts..
Look here, Mr. Krishnavarma.

That is, the furniture, utensils

tools, lamps..

I have the detailed list.

I have paid them for everything.

This might escalate to the
police station and the court.

I'm not interested in that.
Neither do I have the time.

If you think she has rights
over this, approach the court.

But only after you
vacate the palace.

We won't leave so easily.

What?
- Don't, dear.

Everyone cheated us.

You also stood by them.

What is she saying?

She is saying that I cheated her.

Don't say that, dear.

They might have cheated you.
But he had nothing to do with that.

That's true. Are you going around
accusing innocent ones?

You are at his mercy now.

I cannot be merciful, Nambeesan.

They have to vacate
this palace soon.

I don't want to hear anything else.

My character is very bad at times.

Don't threaten us.

I don't have the heart to vacate.
What can you do?

What can I do?

Have you heard about Bombay, dear?

Bombay, that was
renamed as Mumbai recently.

The slums there
are very famous.

There is a slum there filled
with thieves and crooks

named Dharavi.

I had helped vacate that place
in a single night.

So it will be as easy
as plucking a flower

for me to throw you
out of this palace.

Oh, no, my Lord.

Her helplessness is forcing her
to talk that way.

Forgive her, my Lord.
She's an innocent.

She's not so innocent.

Her tongue is sharp enough
to break a sword.

You must give them at least
a few days' time, my Lord.

We shall find a solution by then.

Come, Mr. Krishnavarma.

Come, dear.

Stop staring at me, big eyes!

Just kidding.

They are making a lot of noise.

I think they are drinking.

Cover your ears.
Pretend not to hear them.

He says that he is a Lord.

God only knows!

He seems like a lowlife.

We shall celebrate this night.

No one should leave tonight

without being intoxicated.

Drink until you lose your senses.

Else, you shouldn't try at all.

That is Jagan's law of drinking.

What is this?

Very good.

What is this, Sharody?

A crown.
A crown for the Sixth Lord.

The Sixth Lord?

Yes.

Everyone after the reign of
the Fifth Lord were losers

who were incapable of anything.

But now we have an able Lord.

You are the Sixth Lord.

Consider this to be
your coronation ceremony.

I shall drink a lot

of whisky today.

It's not 'today', but 'tonight'.
Okay, Mangalam?

Yes, Nambeesan.

But you will leave us soon, sir.

You told us that you
wouldn't be here for long.

Fate brought you to this land.

The Goddess won't leave you
so soon.

Lord.
- Yes?

Folks from Kolapulli have come.

What?
- They are here to meet you.

Call them.
- Who could it be?

Could it be Lord Appan?
- Never.

It must be his slaves.

Hey, pour a drink for me..

Here.

Done.

Here.

Sit.
Sit, Ezhuthachan.

They are my guests.

I am supposed to welcome them.

Why are you here at this late hour?

Well, we thought of visiting you.
- Okay.

When will you demolish the palace?

When do you intend to start it?

Lord Appan has asked us
to enquire the same.

Tell him that I'm in a dilemma.

Are you saying that
you won't demolish it?

Why?
- I didn't mean that.

We should demolish it.

I am thinking about
the modus operandi.

I have an idea of demolishing
it using a bomb.

The labour charges
these days are high.

Bombs are cheaper.
We can buy it from Malappuram.

I have yet another idea.

We can also burn the palace down.

We can bring down the truss
from the burning manor.

We'll fiddle while the house burns.

We can also make a show out of it.

Please feel free to make
suggestions if you have any.

Are you making fun of us?

Are you trying to fool us?

What's the fun in trying to fool
a fool?

Dear friend,
why is Lord Appan so interested

in demolishing the palace?

He is obsessed with it!

Hello.

We won't be demolishing
the palace anytime soon.

It's not your decision to make.

You can indulge in the money
and booze he offers you.

But don't try to be over smart.
- Bastard!

How dare you talk to me like that?

You are Lord Appan's faithful dog.

Hey!
- No!

You needn't fight.
You can go.

I've decided to
live here for a while.

When I get tired of it,
we'll do as you please.

We can demolish or burn it.
I'll let you know. You can go now.

Don't go back on your decisions
expecting their support.

You need Kolapulli Appan's
support to live around here

no matter who it is.

Any land under the sun
is the same for me.

I don't need support
of any kind from anyone.

It's easier to destroy, but it's
not easy to build something.

Don't persuade me to destroy.
That won't be good for you.

I won't stop
once I start destroying.

I'll destroy everything.

There is another version of me
that I have chained inside me.

A wounded animal.
Don't try to release it.

It won't end well
for anyone who tries to do that.

No one needs to cross the river

and come to Kanimangalam
with orders anymore.

You can leave
if you understood that.

Why is everyone standing
transfixed?

I did it simply to scare them.

Words do more good than beatings.
Isn't that right, Govindankutty?

Lord Shiva!

Fix me a drink, Pillai.
- For sure.

Stop it!

What is this..

Music practise?
I can't allow this..

You are disturbing my sleep
with your music.

I hate classical music.

Especially when women do it
and children follow up.

I don't like any of this.

These children have much better
things to learn at this age.

Children, do your
parents know about this?

They are the ones who send us
for music lessons.

Is that so? Is it a music lesson?

She must be the teacher.
You pay her too, right?

Yes. We also give her other stuffs
apart from money.

It's like the olden days.

Is that so? So, you're
making good money with this.

It's not like that.
This is our livelihood.

That is fine.. I don't mind.

But since I'm the owner of this
building, I have to say something.

We should talk about the rent
for the class space.

Isn't that right, Teacher?
We should reach a decision.

We'll talk.
- Okay.

You can go.
- No. You can sit.

Sit there. I'll go for now.
Let the class continue.

I don't like hurting children.

You take a lot from them.
Teach them. Teach them well.

I'll kill myself after I kill him!

Unnimaya, do you remember us?

Let's see.

There is no one around here
who doesn't know you.

Mrs. Warrier told me that you
and your dad were staying here

even after the palace was sold.
Where could you go?

It's unfortunate.
I always talk about your bad luck.

There are people like you
to worry about me.

What about these girls though?

These girls you take
with you everywhere.

You should think about them
once in a while too.

I don't want to argue with you.
- Where are you going?

I'm here to see Lord Jagannathan.

You can do that
outside the palace grounds.

I won't let you inside.
- Who are you to say that?

Lord Jagannathan owns the palace.

I don't care who owns the palace.

I won't let you and these girls
inside this compound. That is all.

Unnimaya.
- What?

She is here to see the Lord.
You shouldn't object.

Let them come inside.
- So you invited them.

You better ask them
to leave at once.

Did you invite me here
for her to kick me out?

Ma'am..
- No. We are leaving.

I understand why she is like this.
No wonder

she has not left the palace.
Have the Lord all for yourself.

Your behaviour suggests the
kind of woman your mother was!

Go.
Get lost!

I won't stop at this
if you continue talking.

Ma'am, you should go now.
Don't make a scene.

She slapped me.
I won't forget this.

I'll make sure
she suffers for this!

What is this..

Who gave her the right to do this?

Since I've asked this girl and
that old man to leave from here

how dare she insult my guests?

Why is she silent, Govindankutty?

I don't have the right. But I
don't like women like her.

That's why I didn't let them in.
- Your decision doesn't matter.

I own this place.
Doesn't my decision count? Tell me!

Govindankutty, she is silent.
She says those women were bad.

I'm a bad man too.
I've told her that I'm a bad man.

So, my friends would
be the same too.

I haven't asked anyone to
check the morality of my guests.

No one needs to do that, right?
- That's right.

Govindankutty, she is still silent.
- She..

I'm sorry.
Forgive me if I was wrong.

Govindankutty told me that
you slapped her

in addition to throwing her out.

You slapped someone
who is older than you.

Do you think it was right?

Govindankutty, are you silent
as well? She is not talking.

She..

It's.. It's because she talked
ill about my mother.

I don't even remember her.
She died a long time ago.

I don't know my mother's name
or where she was from.

But I love my mother a lot.

I get sad and angry if anyone
insults my mother.

I lost control.

Hey!

Hey. Don't cry.

Govindankutty, she is crying.

Hey..
Listen to me.

Hey.
Don't cry and..

What happened?
- That old man and the girl..

We'll kick them out.
- No!

I don't mind. Let them live here.

Do you have a problem? Don't kick
them out. Let them live here.

Lord.
- Yes.

You will be blessed.

I don't want blessings.
Let that girl have it too.

What about that ma'am?
- Who?

The woman.
- To hell with her!

I'll kick you if you ever
bring it up.

Did I tell you that I was horny?
- No.

Do I look like it?
- No.

What! Get lost!
Just kidding.

My God!

I was relieved when the Lord said
that we needn't move out.

He is a generous man.

I can't take it anymore.

If I could go to Palakkad, I would
get rid of these two teeth..

What is it?
You sound like you're drunk.

You don't make any sense.
Or was it a new Raga?

I'll give you a beating.
It hurts so much.

I don't have money to go
to Palakkad or Pattambi

to fix it.
Have you saved any money?

Oh, no! You could've
told me yesterday.

I deposited the 20 lakhs
I had in the bank yesterday.

How can I withdraw it so soon?

What a pity!
What do I do now?

Whom will I borrow money from?

My dear musician!

I lost my nose pin almost
a year ago.

I'll have to pierce my nose again.

I'm unable to even buy
a small nose pin

and you are worried about
your teeth!

I can pluck that tooth of yours.

You don't have to go all the way
to Palakkad for that.

A song..
- What is going on there?

It's a drinking party
in the Lord's palace.

Hey, mind your words.

Stop it! - What?

We are least bothered about
Mangalam's love story.

Forget all that.

I just want Mangalam to sing now.

Mangalam, you better sing now.

If you don't sing,
I'll beat you up.

I said, sing!

I will sing.

I'll sing, my Lord.

Maintain silence.

Mangalam is going to sing.
- Yes.

Where is the instrument?
- What?

What instrument are you
talking about? - Harmonium.

Why do you need that?

Don't you know that?

I cannot sing without a Harmonium.

You can sing a song that doesn't
need a Harmonium.

Hey, don't talk rubbish.

I cannot sing without a Harmonium.

I will never sing without that.
- All right.

Where will we find a Harmonium?

Where will you get it now?

It's already late now.
I'll sing tomorrow.

Pour me some more.
- I'll thrash you!

Can't you sing without a Harmonium?

It is a bit difficult for me.

Hey, look here.
Listen to me.

Yes. - I will arrange
for a Harmonium.

How will you arrange it?

Lord. - Yes.

Mr. Krishnavarma has got
a Harmonium. I'll get it from him.

No.. No need of that.

That's a very old one.
- That's all right.

Oh, no..

You are an old man.

Your song is an old one.

I will make you sing tonight.

Nambeesan, tell him that I need it.
- Okay.

Where are you going?

The Harmonium..
- He will bring it.

No, please don't ask that.
I cannot give this to you.

This is my priceless possession.

Lord Jagannathan sent me here.

You better obey him.
- I see.

When did he become your Lord?

Stop mocking him.

For us, he is the Sixth Lord
of Kanimangalam.

He is not a scoundrel
like your cousins!

So, Mr. Krishnavarma, won't you
part with your Harmonium?

Tell him not to get angry at me.

Except this..

By the way, who is capable
of playing a Harmonium there?

You can leave, Nambeesan.

This Harmonium needn't be used
for entertaining drunkards.

I see. Did she say that?
All right.

Lord, shall I go?

I will get it from him.
- No need.

I'm sad that Mangalam
got to escape.

Let's buy a new one.
Shall we, Nambeesan?

Still, look at Krishnavarma's
arrogance!

He lives here at the mercy
of Lord Jagannathan.

Forget it, Sharody.
- To hell with his Harmonium!

Let's start the next round
of drinks.

Pillai, come on.
- Yes.

I am not greedy for gold.

I have no right to wish.

I know that.

I had bought that nose pin
with great desire.

But it was my bad luck
that I lost it in the pond.

I cannot afford a new one.

But still, I inserted a small piece
of toothpick into the piercing

to prevent it from closing up.

I don't know how that lady
could make it out.

And she started questioning.

'What is it, Unnimaya?
Why don't you have a nose pin?'

That was enough for everyone
to mock me!

I felt so ashamed!

Hey, are you listening?

I am not asking for a gold bangle.

I'm just asking for a small

nose pin made of gold.

I just wish for that.

Whom will I tell this?

The person here cares only about
his Harmonium and nothing else.

We'll be fine only once
you get rid of that Harmonium.

It should be given
to a scrap collector!

I'm a poor girl.

Have you ever thought

of buying me anything?
Never!

You just sit here doing nothing.

It's all my fate!
No use of complaining.

Do you want a nose pin as well?

I've seen a cat with a nose pin
in a movie.

I've seen the movie posters
as well.

Hey, Kurinji! Come here.

It is his practice time.
Don't disturb him.

You don't have to buy me anything.

Can't you at least console me?

You don't even do that!

It's my fate!
I am an orphan after all.

I told you that I didn't need it.

Then why did you bring it here?

But you'd asked for it yesterday..
- But that was yesterday.

I don't want it now.

Each day, I have
different interests.

Yesterday, I wanted a Harmonium.

Today, I want
a double-barrelled gun.

Do you have one?

Please don't have hard feelings
towards me.

Please accept this and give me
some money.

But didn't you tell that this
was your priceless possession?

Yes, I did say that.

But I'm in need of money.

Other than this,
I've nothing else to sell.

Hey, doesn't this work?

You need to move it this way.
- Do it.

How much money are you expecting?

Well..
Rs. 1,000.

Rs. 1,000?
Are you kidding?

Who will pay you Rs. 1,000
for this old instrument?

I will get a Scotch for Rs. 1,000.

Actually, I needed that much money.

How can you say that?

Suppose you are in need
of Rs. 10,000

and you've only got a jackfruit
to sell.

But can you sell a jackfruit
for Rs. 10,000?

You should be reasonable.

I can pay you Rs. 750.
What do you say?

That won't be enough.

Please take it back. I don't want
it. - I thought you could help..

I don't help others without
any profit.

If you have any gold, I can give
you the equivalent amount.

I am a poor man.

Then what should I do?

Okay. I can give your Rs. 900,
not a penny more.

No more bargains.

I agree.
Please give it to me.

Here.

I don't have change to give you.

I'll get it later. But you
shouldn't forget. - I'll not.

Thank you.

Do you want to have a drink?

What did you mean, my Lord?

Alcohol. Shall I get you one shot?

No, sorry.

I have never had that habit.

Pardon me.
- Okay.

By the way..
- Yes?

If you ever plan to start drinking

feel free to come here.

Many people have turned
into drunkards by doing so.

I am very good at it.
- All right.

Dear, take a look at this.

Wear this nose pin and come.

I want to see you.

Just take a look at this.

If you don't like it,
I'll get it exchanged.

I don't want to see.

Dear, just take a look.

No need.

Then for whom did I buy this?

You had just wished for a pinch
of gold.

How could I not fulfil

this small wish of yours?

Did you have to sell
your Harmonium for that?

How could you do this just because
I blabbered

some nonsense?

I never meant what I said.

I know how important that Harmonium
was to you.

Oh, God!
Forget about that Harmonium.

You are the only important person
in my life.

Was that Harmonium more important
than you?

Instead of playing that instrument,
I could've done something useful.

Our life is filled with sorrow.

Such instances of joy
are all that we have

amidst that sorrow.

You are just trying to console me
hiding your sorrow.

Oh, God! What should I do now?

What are you doing?

I had kept this money to take
you to Palakkad.

Here, take this money

and bring back your Harmonium.
- No, dear.

You should do it.

I cannot sacrifice your

happiness for mine.

You must get it back.

Dear.
- Tell me if you can't do it.

I'll go. Right now!

On this night!

What brings you here, ma'am?

This is a gathering of the unholy!

Step in and you will get tainted!

Here!
I need that Harmonium back.

I am here to return the money.

What is this?

Are you people mocking me?

One sells and the other one
buys it back!

What is this?
- My father made a mistake.

H-He shouldn't have sold it!

He feels bad to come back here.

That is why I am here.
- What difference does it make?

No matter who comes,
I won't give it back.

I don't return things that I buy.

Please don't say that.
- What else should I say?

You don't know its value.
- Value?

I paid the price he quoted.

To be honest,
he owes me Rs. 100.

There is a value to it far
more than what money can buy.

And what might that be?

What was that saying? Money rules..
The world or universe..

Something like that.. - Yes.
- Is that it? - I must go.

I must give that harmonium
back to my father.

I already told you.
I won't give it back.

If you want me to declare
it formally..

This harmonium that I purchased
from.. - What will you do with it?

I will play it

and make funny noises.

And when I get bored of it,
I'll smash it.

I'll even cook meals out of it.

I can do what I please
with things that I buy.

The Indian Constitution
allows me to do so.

You may do so.
Do as you please.

I know what a monkey
can do with a garland.

You, who don't know
anything about music

would see this as just an object.

You may buy a manor and a harmonium
with your money.

But there are many things
that money can't buy.

The most important among
them is the gift of talent.

No matter how much you try

you can never sing in
perfect pitch and rhythm.

You will regret doing this
when you realise that.

Music.

An ocean that seems more
vast the closer you get.

I have wandered seeking it.

An idea flashed in my mind
while I was counting stars

on the banks of river Yamuna.

What was that?
To go to Gwalior.

What for?
To study Hindustani music.

Gwalior. The search for the
mysterious 'Gharana magic peacock'

led me to the lair
of an old maestro.

Ustad Badusha Khan!

He was high.

What was he indulging in?
Some top-notch Bhang.

I presented my request.
He asked me for a fee.

What will a pauper
have in his pocket? Nothing!

Remembering my mother,
who taught me the basics of music

I sang something in Darbar Raga.

He didn't let me finish.

He held me close to him.

He was impressed.

Then followed the days
where I had Bhang in my veins

and music in my heart.

And one day

I paid my final respects
at my teacher's grave and set out

on a journey that still goes on.

A life of journeys that never ends.

Lord Shiva!

"The tune of Lord Krishna's flute"

"that flows through
the gardens of Vrindavan"

"is a mesmerising song of love."

"The tune of Lord Krishna's flute"

"that flows through
the gardens of Vrindavan"

"is a mesmerising song of love."

"The tune
of Lord Krishna's flute.."

"The tune
of Lord Krishna's flute.."

"The tune
of Lord Krishna's flute.."

"The tune
of Lord Krishna's flute.."

"Oh, sweet Radha!
In search of you.."

"Oh, sweet Radha!
In search of you"

"wanders a love-filled heart."

"While the silence
of the setting sun"

"realises the love of the earth.."

"His heart burns as a lamp"

"that illuminates your pedestal."

"He becomes a dust particle"

"that was excited by
the touch of your feet."

"The tune of Lord Krishna's flute"

"that flows through
the gardens of Vrindavan"

"is a mesmerising song of love."

"The tune
of Lord Krishna's flute.."

"Oh, river Yamuna!
Your cheeks adorn.."

"The tune of Lord Krishna's flute"

"that flows through
the gardens of Vrindavan"

"is a mesmerising song of love."

"The tune
of Lord Krishna's flute.."

"The tune
of Lord Krishna's flute.."

"The tune
of Lord Krishna's flute.."

"The tune
of Lord Krishna's flute.."

"The tune of"

"Lord Krishna's flute.."

What a surprise!
Lord Appan! Greetings, my Lord!

So, you do remember me.
- Of course.

How could I forget you?
- If you remember me, the promise

you gave me would also
be in your memory.

Isn't it about
demolishing the palace?

I still haven't dropped that idea.
He is Bappu from Thangalangady.

He's seen the palace, but we still
haven't fixed the cost of the wood.

He is still interested though.

He said he'd buy me 'Pathiri' and
chicken curry if I go to Shoranur.

I've only had vegetarian food ever
since I moved into the palace.

Since there
is a temple nearby, I'm not

supposed to have non-vegetarian
food inside the palace.

They witnessed you drinking
toddy with some morons.

They informed me about it.

Jeez! That wasn't toddy but
Scotch whisky.

It's vegetarian.
It is distilled from fruits.

It is said in the Puranas
that kings used to drink Soma.

I've understood
that you are a loudmouth.

Enough with the lecture.
What is your decision?

That's what I want to know.

I've heard that you are relishing
your time as the Sixth Lord!

Who are you?
Why did you buy the palace?

I want to know the truth.

You want me
to answer two questions.

The first question is who I am.

There is no answer.

It's the question
that haunts mankind though

we've conquered
the heights of knowledge.

Buddha and Adi Shankara searched
the answer for the same question.

'Who am I?'
They couldn't answer it.

The destiny of every
human being is to find its answer.

Question number two, why did I buy
the palace? The answer is simple.

I bought it for fun just like that.

I'm on a journey to fulfil
a crazy dream of mine.

I shall come to your place when
I get time. I like philosophy.

You! Move the vehicle!

I'll beat you up if you obstruct my
way and try to threaten me!

Son of a bitch!

Please go, Lord Appan.

Talking to me right here
will tarnish your reputation.

I'll come to your place when
it's time. Please leave.

Bappu, start the car.

Just kidding!

We should be wary of him. I can
sense the intensity in his eyes.

His words are sharp.

The evil deities
aren't pleased now.

I don't know why,
but I feel perturbed.

He has a flawless plan and it
suggests that there is a

solid reason
why he is here.

I feel something bad
is on the horizon.

What new-found
halo do you see in me?

I will leave. I am not supposed
to stay anywhere permanently.

No, you can
leave only if we let you.

We won't let you go no matter what.
We need someone to be here for us.

I am an outsider, sir.

I am destined to leave this village
when I get a transfer order.

I feel like I am one among them

because of
my friendship with these people.

Only you can conduct
the temple festival.

Only you can take on
Kolapulli Appan.

I don't want
to wage war against anyone.

This isn't war but the grief

that so many people have
been enduring for a long time now.

To attain salvation from the curse
that haunts us, the festival

at Aniyathikavu
should be celebrated.

That's just a superstition.

It's one of those
justifications that we find out

when life gets the better of us.

God's presence isn't limited
to just one temple.

He is the Entity that is present
everywhere in this universe.

There is this verse
in Bhagavad-Gita.

'God is within everyone, and so
all are equally respect worthy.'

It's the naiveness of
civilisations that related worship

to temples and their festivals.

Our actions should be our belief
and our method of worship.

We, countrymen, won't understand
your intellectual words.

If you lead us from the front, I'm
ready to wrangle with anyone.

That's all I can do.

Our lives revolve around
this temple and the Goddess.

What will happen to the planets if
they are deprived of sunlight?

The Goddess will only be pleased
if the festival is celebrated.

The village will then
be blessed with prosperity.

It's all possible
if you decide to move forward.

My Lord.

If you won't think that I'm
annoying you with an old story..

Tell me. - There is an innocent
Brahmin who lost his life because

of the rivalry
between the Lords.

Lord Kaloor Brahmadathan.

When the sacred ornaments
were stolen

someone blamed him.

He couldn't bear
to hear that false accusation

and banged his head on the altar
till he bled to death.

Though I was a stranger to him,
when I first came here

he helped me a lot.

I am begging you for his soul.

Please conduct the festival.

I will.

It should happen.

It should happen.

We will conduct it.

My Lord..

They've hoisted the flag
at the temple.

The initial rituals
have started there.

Can't you hear the beats
and the sound of firecrackers?

They are bursting 501 firecrackers
instead of 101.

He deceived us.

What are you saying?

What can he possibly do?

He can't conduct
the festival unless

we give him
the sacred ornaments.

How can he conduct the festival
ignoring the traditions?

We should have
taken care of him back then.

I felt that he was a fraud
the first time I saw him.

He came here once
to beg for my mercy.

He will come again.

The evil deities
will bring him here.

You hoisted the flag which marks
the beginning of the festival

that I stopped 16 years ago.

Will you lower that flag yourself

or should I make you do it?

You are a swine who
does not value his own word!

I came here to request for the
innocent people of Kanimangalam.

Don't deprive them of their
beliefs and right to worship.

Don't stand in their way.

You should compromise and
consider making peace with them.

I am thinking of the day when we
would have a happy ending to this.

You resemble a clever fox!

You are here
to request, aren't you!

The festival should commence on the
16th day after the flag is hoisted

at the sacred grove.

The festival should be celebrated
once the flag is hoisted.

You know it is impossible.

We should hand over
the sacred ornaments

kept in our manor,
at the banks of the river.

You know it won't happen,
come hell or high water

and so you changed your strategy.

Don't think that
we will fall for your little trick!

Get lost!
Get the hell out of here!

I regret that I have to call you

a 'swine' instead of 'my Lord'.

You bloody swine named Appan!

Who do you think you are?
A potentate?

The innocent people of this village

would be intimidated by the tricks
you have up your sleeve.

But they aren't good enough
for me.

I've dealt
with men much worse than you.

I have hoisted the flag and
I know how to conduct the festival.

I'll make you bring
the sacred ornaments

and hand it over.

I'll make you come to
the river banks.

I know that you'll do everything
possible to ruin the festival.

But don't forget this.

If the festival doesn't happen,
I'll burn you alive

before I leave this village.

Beat up that son of a bitch!

If you can find braver men

keep them with you.

I like men who have
the courage to oppose me.

Do you understand, Mr. Appan?

Don't mess
with the Lord of Kanimangalam!

Remember this.

I am the Sixth Lord
of Kanimangalam.

Keep it there.

Doesn't Jagan live here?

Who?
- Jagan. Jagannathan.

Jaggu.

Who are you?
I can't recognise you.

I am Nayan.

Nayan Thara Devan.

That's my name.

What is your name, dear?

Dear?

Where are you from?

I am from a far away land.

Is there a place

that's too far away?

There are many places like that.

It's just that you don't know.

I have a name.

No one addresses me as 'dear'.
It is Unnimaya.

Oh, sorry.

People from Kerala

address everyone as 'dear'

if they don't know the name.

I don't know about that.

Neither do I like it.

Okay..

Where is Jagan?

How do you know our Lord?

Lord?

Wow!

Jaggu!

Hey.
- Hey.

Nayan.

How did you reach here?
- Hey, fatso.

Leave me. That girl might
think that I am kissing you.

How can she assume that?

I can move only if you leave me.
- Okay.

What is this, Nayan?

This was out of the blue!
What a surprise!

How did you find that I was here?

Easy, man.
Easy.

Along with my
Archaeology research

I am learning Astrology.

I have started to develop an ESP.

I also know a little
about black magic.

That's how I found you.

Are you alone?
- Yes. Alone. - Come.

Hey.

If you have any luggage inside
your car, you better get it.

Else, the children might take it.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Help me get my luggage.

This is Unnimaya, Nayan.

We met already.

This is Nayan Thara.
She's my friend

from Bangalore.

Tea?
- Sure.

Can you prepare tea?

We don't have milk.

Milk..
- It's okay.

I will have black coffee,
Unnimaya. - Come.

'I will have black coffee,
Unnimaya.'

What a show-off!

Lord asked me to serve her.

Else, I would've ignored her.

Black coffee!

Where do people
like this come from?

Who has come?
I heard the sound of a car.

One black coffee, please.

What do you mean?

You can find ladies like
this on the television.

Someone like that has come here.

What has happened to you?

I am mad!

I can feel the anger rising in me!

Let it be.
Leave this topic.

"Great people.."

Now I feel refreshed!

You amaze me.

You left without informing anyone.

You are living here
with all the comforts.

How is my palace?

Great.

Really great.

This is a place you can approach
with your Archaeological expertise.

You might find something
if you start digging.

Something like a piece
of copper or a mud pot. - No.

I wish to approach this
place in a romantic manner.

It's a beautiful place to live.

There must not be many people here.

Just a man and a woman.

Come out and dry your hair.
Else, you'll get a cold.

Will you help me out?

Okay.
Come.

I wanted to bathe..

It's okay..
I'll bathe on the other side.

It's fine.
You may bathe here.

Come on, Unnimaya.

Hey!
Nayan.

What is this?

Nayan!

I am not as good as I seem!

Just kidding!
She's innocent.

I bought it in Bhubaneswar

from a maestro.

It has thrived for generations.

I remembered you when I saw it.

So, I bought it
for the price he quoted.

Thanks.

I have started forgetting.
I have to practise now.

But you don't have the time, Lord.

You are busy with organising
festivals and renovating temples.

You are too busy.

It gives me happiness.

More than playing a Sitar.

You won't understand it.

Jagan.

I want to watch 'Thiruvathira'.

I haven't learned it.

If you want, I'll learn it
tonight and perform for you.

Hey. I am serious.

There is no use in asking me.

Ask Unnimaya.

What?

Who is it?

Unnimaya.

Come here.

Come.
Come here.

I was just passing by

and I tripped on something..

Jagan was just talking
about you, Unnimaya.

I want to watch 'Thiruvathira',
Unnimaya.

He wants me to ask you.

In the month of 'Mithunam'?

We dance in the month of 'Dhanu'.
You can watch it then.

No.

I want to watch it today.

I want to light lamps

drape a sari

and watch pretty girls

dance gracefully.
- Fine.

But you have to wait
for the month of 'Dhanu'.

There is a time for everything.

Don't show off!

Arrange it somehow.

Isn't it her wish?

You need not make it grand.

Just a brief dance.

You can do it, Unnimaya.

"One after the other"

"he sent the arrows of love."

"Her heart was overwhelmed"

"with his love for her."

"The prince of love"

"stole a place in my heart."

"With his tricks and plays"

"he made me fall for him."

"The flowers bloomed
in the garden of love."

"The birds sang a melodious tune."

"The flowers bloomed
in the garden of love."

"The birds sang a melodious tune."

"The bees buzzed and hovered"

"around the flowers."

"The beautiful girls wearing
tinkling bangles"

"danced around gracefully."

"The beautiful girls wearing
tinkling bangles"

"danced around gracefully."

"The heart of the dancing girls"

"beamed with joy."

"The heart of the dancing girls"

"beamed with joy."
- Enough! Stop it!

All of you can leave!
That's enough!

Oh, no!
It was so good.

Why did you stop?

It's getting late.

Their families will get anxious.

This is not their profession.

Didn't you have enough of it?
- Oh, no.

I was thinking about the girls
nowadays.

A girl drove by herself
and came here

all the way from Bangalore.

Great!
Such a smart girl.

Very brave indeed.

This is not bravery
but recklessness.

She is just a spoilt girl.

She will be from a good family.

Else, she wouldn't be
Lord Jagannathan's friend.

Where are you going?

I am going to visit
Mullaperiyar Dam.

Do you want to come along?

I can feel jealousy in her words.
Of course!

She is also a woman after all.

Oh, God..

I've kept water for you
to drink. - Thanks, Unnimaya.

I'll change this bedspread.
- Good.

Usually, I have trouble sleeping
if I change my room.

But I can't let you sleep
alone either.

No need. I can sleep alone.

I like to sleep alone.
- No, I can't let you sleep alone.

You are new to this place.

I have no problem
to sleep with you.

It's all right.
I can sleep alone.

But.. How can you sleep alone?

Wow! It's raining!

Haven't you seen it before?

Don't mock me!

I think nature is welcoming me.

Haven't you heard
of Rishyasringa's story?

He was welcomed by the rain.

I am the Rishyasringa here.

Nayan Thara Rishyasringa.

That story had a lady

who was a dancer.

The one who came to allure
Rishyasringa.

Yes.
Do you think I am one?

I didn't mean that.

Even if you say so,
I've no problem.

You just need to permit me
to take away Rishyasringa.

What happened?

What's going on here?

Are you chit-chatting
late in the night.

Nothing.
Just casual talk.

Unnimaya is talking nonsense.

Jagannathan, don't sleep.

I'll come to your room.

I want to talk to you.

Okay. You're welcome.

Hey, wait!

You might get scared
if you sleep alone.

The ghost of a feudal lord
who committed suicide

is roaming around here.

Many have seen it.

I am speaking the truth.
- Is it?

Yes. - Actually, I like to be
around ghosts.

Especially royal ghosts.

You can leave, Unnimaya.

I'll share my experience
tomorrow.

You can leave for now.

Come on. Why this unusual
starting trouble?

Tell me.
- I don't know how to start.

Okay.
You know my father, right?

Yes.

My father is my biggest gift.

Nobody will get such a liberal,
generous and a loving father.

Till today

my father has never tried
to control me.

He has given me complete
freedom.

He gave me freedom to do things
as I wish.

Recently, he asked me
a serious matter.

My marriage.
My father is getting old.

I am also getting old.

He gave me the freedom to select

my life partner.

But he wants me to take
a quick decision.

That was the first time he asked
me to do something for him.

Actually, he is right.

It is high time that I get settled.

But who? That's the question.

I've not fallen in love.

Nobody has proposed me.

When I thought about

my male friends, you were

the one who struck my mind.

What do you think?

Did you now understand

the reason for my starting trouble?

I am really in awe
of your character

and your frank behaviour.

I.. I really like it.

My father is very rich.

I am the only heir to that.

Like you, even I'm not
interested in it.

We can take the amount we need

and give the rest to someone needy.

Let's give it to Unnimaya.

And.. Since your favourite place
is Paris

let's settle there.

Anywhere.

Anywhere in this world.

I'm not the one who used to love
Paris, Vienna and Europe.

Now, my favourite place
is Kanimangalam.

This palace.

Your likes are nothing but mine.

Nayan, you are one my
sensible friends.

You can understand me.

Something dragged me
to this village

and this palace.

Some things that I never wish

to disclose to anyone.

In the beginning,
it was just a tour.

Then I felt like staying here
for a few days.

Now, I've commitments that are
making me stay back longer.

When I am done with these
commitments

I might leave this place.

But that day,
I will have a girl along with me.

I am loving her without her
knowledge, Nayan.

I love her.

It's a feeling that I've never
had before.

I am serious about it.

I am in love, Nayan.

Is it Unnimaya?

Yes.

I love her more than anything
else in this world.

It is not just love.

It is also a decision to protect

a girl who is all alone.

Congrats, Jagan.

Are you fine, dear?

I would have
taken you as mine

if it wasn't for the bitter
emotions of these men.

I'm glad that I could meet you.

My brother
won't spare me if he finds out.

What do you want, dear?
You can tell me.

Nothing.

I..
I wanted to ask..

I always wanted to ask you
something when I met you.

My mother..
Do you know who she is?

No, I don't.

You may take me as your mother.

You are my child.

I am happy.

You showed the benevolence
to bring her to me.

She..

She has no one.

I know.

And neither do I.

I won't let her go.

Lord Krishna!
That's all I want to hear.

I shall leave then.

I pray for you every day.

Your father may ignore me

but I hope he
comes back to see you.

Let's hope that he is still alive.

Even the information that he is
still alive would make me happy.

See you, dear.

You seem quite familiar.

I think I have seen you before.

Chances are slight.
I am new to this town.

I didn't mention that I had
seen you here before.

I may be old, but my
mind is still sharp.

And so is my memory.

Well, we may mistake
one for another.

'It's all a delusion.
The world isn't real.'

I could see
a 'Chakravyuh' of obstacles.

Abhimanyu had got the better
of the 'Chakravyuh.'

But he lost his life.
That's in the Mahabharata.

I'm not saying that the
same would happen here.

This isn't an impossible task if
someone is ready to lead the way.

We have our
hopes on him.

If he is there to lead us, we'll be
there for him no matter what.

Are you talking
about him?

The prophecy tells
that a Brahmin will be the leader.

There is still time
for such a man to come.

Astrology is science.

A divine science.

It's all about calculations.

Let's leave that for now.

Let's get to the facts.

Kolapulli Appan must give you
the sacred ornaments.

Do you think he will?

We can try.
- That's your confidence.

Good.
I won't stand against it.

There are several venerations
and rituals as a solution to this.

I shall write them down for you.
You must perform them properly.

A Brahmin had lost his life.

We must perform the rituals
for his soul.

Poovalli..

Yes.

Though it was a suicide,
in a way, he was killed.

Mr. Brahmadathan lost his life
as a result of

the rivalry between Appan
and Dathan. His soul

is still present in this village.

He must attain salvation..

He must rest in peace.

We shall perform..

We shall perform all the rites.

Chenkalam Madhavan.

Madhavan.

My Lord.
- I see that you have come.

That's enough.

I know what to do now.

I hope you came to know..
- Yes, I did.

He thrashed my men right here.

Excellent martial artists like you
learned your art here.

I asked you to come as the idiots
with me aren't up to the task.

I came here
to see what he is all about.

Don't delay it then.
Beat him to a pulp.

He shouldn't stay here anymore.

Beat him up
so that he'd flee from here.

I will kill him if you ask me to!

If one is arrogant to mock
the men of Kolapulli Manor

I am destined to thrash him!

Go.

Brave men like you are supposed
to teach him a lesson.

Shall I join you in the game?

He is kidding.

This is a game for kids.

Okay. If we are playing
against each other

it'd be a game
between grown-ups, right?

Yes. Do you
want to do it right here?

No.

It's no fun to beat you up in front
of these women and children.

That's not my way.

Where should the venue be
according to your way?

I will be there.

I want you in the market
where everyone can see us.

What the hell are you
going to do if I do come?

Chenkalam Madhavan.

I've heard about you.
I figured you would come.

Go on.
Arrange an audience.

I will be there.

I, Jagannathan, will stick
to my word. I will be there.

Madhavan!

Just kidding.

Chenkalam Madhavan.

Take your antics elsewhere
or get ready to die.

What is it?
What is the problem?

Just a rehearsal
for what is to come.

I'll invite you for the finale.
Do come. - My Lord.

What do you mean by
'What is to come'? - Just kidding.

What's your problem?

Is it about the festival?

Aren't there enough festivals
in this small place already?

Is one more really necessary?

Go ahead if that's so important.

Do you need to drag
the government officers into that?

Can't you solve it yourself?
- We know that and we can, sir.

We can solve it if we want to.

But there will be some violence.

Also, there will be
one or two casualties.

Can you promise me that
these government officers

won't come at that time
and argue about the law?

I know you.
Delhi, right?

Yes.
B-But I didn't..

You forgot.

Kongat Eeswaran Unni from JNU.

Oh. I-I am sorry, sir.
- Forget that.

What are you doing here?
- I am with them.

I am the one who bought
the Kanimangalam Manor.

What about the art journal
in Delhi? - I left all that.

Can you help us?

As far as I know

the police department has more
power here

than the district collector.

The Rural SP Ashok Kumar
is a good guy.

I will introduce you.
You will like him.

There is a reason
behind us refusing

to hand over the jewellery.

I have heard about the fight
between the both of you.

Your face.. Didn't that happen
because of that? - Yes.

That fight wasn't for nothing.
We didn't do that for nothing.

But I have heard another side
of this story. - What?

That you stole the jewellery
of the Goddess.

And that it was to humiliate
your brother-in-law, Lord Dathan.

Anyone can make up stories.

It only matters
if there is any truth in it.

Can I say something which has
some truth in it? - Sure.

Karipalli Padmanabhan.

Padmanabhan was a mahout

who was killed by your elephant,
Shankarankutty. - Yes.

It's been three years.

What if Shankarankutty, the
elephant, is innocent of that crime

and the tusk with which
Padmanabhan was stabbed

was from one of your
dead elephants?

These aren't my words.

If it's proven in the court
with witnesses and evidence

what will you say about it,
Mr. Appan?

It's a lie! It's a big lie!
What are you saying?

I haven't started to go after
what you tried to bury.

I can stop myself from doing so
if you compromise on the festival.

The collector will convene
a meeting.

Please cooperate with it,
and do what you can.

Mr. Appan showed his true colours.

He didn't come to the meeting.
He has sent a messenger.

'Unable to attend
because he is sick.'

I will get my hands on him.

Beggars can't be choosers.
I will go to him.

To Kolapulli Appan.
- Thank you.

You don't need to thank me.

I might as well have become
one of you.

I won't go easy on them.
Come, Ashok.

What about us?
- We will be in the gallery.

Start the car.
Come on.

Do you feel resentment
towards me, Collector?

I am very weak.
That's why.. - No.

That's all right, my Lord.

So let's get to the matter.

Do we need to explain anything?
- Not at all.

But please don't get me wrong, sir.
That can't happen.

We have decided not to hand over
the jewellery to Kanimangalam.

You should reconsider
that decision, my Lord.

The decision is not just mine.

A trust holds the ownership of
all the properties and the temple.

This decision was made unanimously
by the members of the trust.

Please don't turn us down.
- What can I do?

If at least a single person
in the trust is on your side

I will definitely hand over
the jewellery.

Who are the members of the trust?

Appan, Appan's sister, Subhadra,
and I.

Come, Ashok. Let's go.
See you, my Lord.

I was about to suggest that.
I have to lie down as I am tired.

I have hired a lawyer
for Padmanabhan's murder case.

He is from the supreme court.

You might've heard of him.
Sukhdev Singh.

He charges Rs. 1 lakh
for a sitting.

A moment, please.

I have something to say.
- What do you want, Subhadra?

Forgive me, Brother.

I know that it isn't a convention

for the women in our family
to express their opinions.

But I must break it now.

Collector. Let's hear
what the Lady has to say.

Tell us.

I am ready

to hand over the jewellery
to the people of Kanimangalam.

Subhadra!
- Hey! Quiet.

Don't try to scare her.
- Your decision doesn't matter.

That's my decision.
That's all I have to say.

Mr. Appan,
you have to keep your word.

You said that if one person
in the trust agrees

you will hand over the jewellery.
Don't make excuses now.

I have nothing to gain
by disobeying you, Brother.

That festival should happen.
That's all I want.

Lord!
Don't make any more excuses.

You have to promise. - Didn't you
hear what the Lady said?

Tell us, my Lord.
- I will never break my promise.

I always make promises that
can be kept. And I will keep it.

Bappu.
How can I ever repay this debt?

Some debts
are not to be reckoned, sir.

Please don't consider me
as a stranger.

You have refused to take millions
that were offered to you.

Let's not keep
accounts between us.

Let's make it happen.

Ezhuthachan.
- Yes.

You may take it.
Let's renovate the temple first.

Time is running out.

"From the far-off land, a light
flashed from the armour of God."

"A light flashed
from the armour of God.."

"Then appeared the deity
in all her glory."

"Her eyes shimmered, and her
locks moved with the wind."

"Ready to bless the mere mortals,
the protector is here."

"The protector of this land
and its people."

Visit Keezhpayyur Manor.

Meet the high priest

and make arrangements
to send someone for the veneration.

We will send someone.
- There is a ritual to invite them.

Someone important
must do the deed.

Do you have any
difficulty to do so? - No.

I shall. There's no difficulty.
- Please don't delay it.

Stop him.

We are through.

Please leave me alone.
- No.

Don't even think of catching me.
Please give way.

Let's play.
- What's happening here?

Let me go.
- Are you crazy?

I won't spare those morons!

Kids these days are naughty.

We aren't friends anymore!
I can't stand those guys.

Get out of my face.

They took me to the pond

saying that they'd show me some
thing. They pulled my dhoti away.

One brat got his hands
on my loin cloth.

Did they take me for an idiot?

Sorry,
I didn't recognise any of you.

Are you here to shoot movies?
- No.

We are here to meet
the high priest.

We are from Kanimangalam.

Really?
I have a reason to ask.

Film crews frequent this place.
What can be done?

The high priest,
my father, is very adamant

that he won't entertain
such requests. But I like movies.

It's nice to see
celebrities up close. - Oh, yes.

Please come..
- Sure.

What can be done?

This guy seems to be off his nut.

We are well informed
about Kanimangalam.

We came to know that you'd be
conducting the festival this year.

But let's be frank.

Don't expect us to
perform the rites. - Why is that?

The temple and the land
have been cursed.

We can't risk sending
our disciples.

That'd bring us bad luck.

Please don't say that, Priest.

We don't have many days, and we
need someone from this family.

I understand.

You didn't seek my blessings
before announcing the festival.

The priest from Ayinikad
had suggested these solutions.

We are fulfilling
it one by one.

In that case, you should get him
to conduct the ritual.

We can't risk
changing the customs.

And you shall not.
We can't send anyone from here.

It's getting late.
I need to shower.

You may leave.
- Please reconsider.

We shall come back.. - No.
There's nothing to reconsider.

What was Kolapulli Appan's offer?

I have nothing to say.
You may leave.

Your health and age
are definitely an issue.

Ezhuthachan, it's time to go.

Is everything okay?
- Wait! - No, Bappu. Not okay.

I'm coming.
Stop.

What can be done!
That's my father's nature.

You are quite a hero.
I must admit.

Kolapulli Appan was here yesterday.
Something happened backstage.

Can you lend me a cigarette?
- Why not?

Give him one, Bappu.
- Give me one.

Maybe, I shouldn't. I'll run
into trouble if someone finds out.

I will smoke from the toilet.

Don't you know
how to perform these holy rites?

Of course, I know it.

I am really good at it.

But none of it
proved to be useful.

At the end of the day,
I will be criticised.

There are people who say
that I am mentally challenged.

A bunch of liars they are.
- Bappu, start the car. - Okay.

Are you leaving?
- Yes. And you're coming too.

All I need is a priest from
your family. - What are you doing?

Where are you taking me?
- Bappu, start the car.

Are you going to kill me?

Oh, God!
Let go of me..

What's going on here?

Is there no limit
to your recklessness?

You can't have your way.

This is no metropolitan underbelly
for you to hold someone captive.

I, SI Bharathan,
must die for that to happen here.

Where is the Brahmin boy?

Where is he?
- Who is there?

What do you mean?
- That wasn't to you.

Who is there?
- Who is there?

Come here!
- Yes, my Lord?

I just want to see you.

Is this the Brahmin boy?

Please take him outside
and give him what he needs.

Please come, sir.

Did you take me for a fool?

I'm not here
to enjoy the hospitality.

I want him right now.

Or else, I won't
consider who you are!

I'll beat you to a pulp.
Mark my words.

What do you want, SI Bharathan?

You've been asking around
for a Brahmin boy.

He isn't here.
- Then where is he!

Why don't you enquire elsewhere?
- Rascal, I'll beat..

Get up.

Get up!

Get up!

Get up!
- I shall.

But attend the call first.
- What?

That's for you.
- Who would call me here?

Would it be my
brother-in-law from Kuwait?

Hello?
- Is it Bharathan?

Seriously!
That's your father!

Address me
as SI Bharathan, you..

Sir.

Yes, sir..

Yes, sir.
Okay.

Shall we go?
- No, you need not come.

I'll go.
- Who was that, SI Bharathan?

Mr. Ashok, the rural SP.

Come on, handcuff me.
- Forgive me, sir.

Shall I leave?
- No, you shouldn't.

Please arrest me. I abducted
the man you're looking for!

Arrest me.
Govindankutty, tell him.

Arrest him. - Don't say so.
- I took him.

I wouldn't arrest
an innocent man like you.

Didn't I tell you once?
I wouldn't! - SI Bharathan.

Arrest me!
- Let go of me! - I abducted him!

Start the car!
- SI Bharathan!

We might lose our jobs!
- Arrest me!

Start the car!
- SI Bharathan!

Start the car!
- I abducted him! - Yeah, right!

SI Bharathan!

We have guests, my Lord.

They ended up right in front
of me asking for directions.

This was unexpected.
- That's the thrill.

I denied James's
request to inform Bappu.

You have completely changed.
Come here.

You look like a King.
- Come, we'll talk.

Oh, I am sorry.

Meet Shelly, my partner.
- Hello.

This is Sasi Menon.
- Hello. - Hi.

I hope you know Jairam.
- We had met once.

At the stud farm?
- Yes..

Nambeesan,
get their luggage upstairs.

Sure.
- Let's go.

Need some help here.
- Shall we leave?

Okay.
- We'll bring the music troupe.

Send someone to the market.
Mahouts will be visiting. - Sure.

Let's go.

You are an enigma to me, Jagan.

I thought you were
enjoying your time here.

I brought my friends
along to enjoy.

You wouldn't understand the
peace I am experiencing here.

You must experience it.
I thank you for everything.

Leave that.
I will be here with you

till the festivals are done.
What was his name again?

Kolapulli?
We'll put an end to his arrogance.

That's the statue of the Nagas.

Oh, I am sorry.

Unnimaya!

Who was that?

I can't believe him!
He is such a perv.

What is it?
- Didn't you notice a woman go by?

She was taking a shower.

Nothing exposed.
However, it was good to watch.

I showed it to them.
Drat!

Such greedy men they are!

He dropped something,
and she ran away.

Who is that, Jagan?

Don't be lazy, Govindankutty.

We need to go to her house today.
You should come with us.

We'll teach you a lesson
if you don't come. Give me that.

The Lord shouldn't find out.
He'll break my jaw.

He won't do anything.
Isn't that right, Nandan?

Calm down.
We'll find a way. Right?

Pardon me.
I came to see the Lord.

Who are you?

My daughter and I
live in the outhouse.

Our old man.

Come here..
- Oh, no! I need to go.

Come with me.
- Oh, no! Don't..

Hey! - What are you doing?
- You are our old man.

Come here.
- It's just coffee.

What are you doing?
- You are our old man.

Sit.
- I don't drink this. Oh, God!

Sit down, I say!

You better do as I say.
Now, take a drink.

Sit down..
- Don't compel me.

I don't drink. That is why.
- Sir, he doesn't drink.

I didn't ask you. Drink this.
- Oh, no.. I'm a poor man.

Drink! - Let me go.
- Shelly, let him go.

He is just playing coy.

Take a drink.
- This scotch costs Rs. 4,000.

He won't die if he takes a drink.
Drink this! Drink it!

I'll make you drink this.

No!

Jagan!

How dare you do this to him!
- Jagan!

Listen to me!

I'm sorry, Mr. Krishnavarma.

I apologise on behalf
of the ones who did this to you.

No! You should never
bow down before me.

This old man does not deserve that.

You wouldn't understand anything.

You wouldn't understand the
value of that great man's tears.

Money. All you care about
is an endless supply of money.

The pleasures that come with it.

The arrogance that started
when you tipped

the midwife who helped
your mother give birth.

You might even pay your mothers
for carrying you in their wombs.

There will come a time in life
when money becomes worthless.

Only then will
realisation strike you.

You..
- No!

Govindankutty will
take you to Palakkad.

All three of you can
return from there.

We know when to go back.
Who are you?

You want to know who I am.
Don't you, son of a bitch?

I'll beat you to a pulp..
- Mister, what're you doing?

We are Nandan's friends.
- That is the only reason

that I'm letting you go.
Get in the vehicle!

We need to see Nandan.
We won't listen to you..

You are going to see no one.

You better leave.

Or else, you'll be
leaving in coffins. Go!

Govindankutty!
- Get in the vehicle!

I'll gut you like a fish.
Get in the vehicle!

Don't mess with him!
Get in the vehicle!

What are you staring at, baldy?

Where are they?
- I'll tell you.

I asked you where they were.
- They left.

What do you mean?
- I sent them away.

They can't be here, Nandan.
- How can you send them away?

They are my guests.
My close friends.

They are hoodlums.
If they stay here anymore

and do something worse,
I'll lose my temper.

You are insulting me.
- Look, Nandan, this is a village.

A lot of fragile people live here.

It's a sin to hurt them.
I don't like it.

I won't allow it.
- Really? - Yes.

Newfound power
seems to be blinding you.

My friends are as important to me
as the people here are to you.

Where are they?
I should bring them back. - No.

No! It's my decision to make.
Why are you so annoyed?

They joked around with that girl.
Is that it?

Why are you being so possessive?
Who is she to you?

Isn't she just another girl
for you? - Stop it, Nandan!

Don't make me lose my temper.

I have a lot on my plate right now.
- Hell! I don't care!

Tell me where they went.
- Your close friends are gone.

They won't return
even if you call them.

I told them I'd break their legs.

They must be in some hotel in
Palakkad. Go, get them if you want.

Nandan..

Pour some more.
That's enough..

It's really hot.
I haven't eaten anything in days.

I'm not worried anymore.
Everything is clear now.

I'll do the holy rituals.
- Forgive us, my Lord.

I think we were a bit rude..

Don't doubt it.
You were kind of rude.

Did you think that I'm crazy?
- No, never.

Then you must be soft in the head.

Only the clever would realise that.
But that is really not the case.

Come here.
- What are you doing?

What are you doing?
Step away.

Who are you people?
What are you doing? - Get lost!

I don't understand.
Where are you taking him?

Kidnapping me seems to be
everyone's favourite pastime!

Let me go.
- Nambeesan, we lost him.

The festival is tomorrow, Pillai.
- What do I tell the Lord now?

My God!
- Pillai!

Tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the festival.

We never expected such a setback.

Is there any point in going..
- What are you on about?

Is there anyone left
in Kaloor Manor?

I remember that
Mr. Brahmadathan had a son.

Who knows where he is now
or if he is even alive?

He is not dead.

A false accusation.

When he was accused of stealing
the jewellery of the Goddess

Mr. Brahmadathan
banged his head

on the altar till he bled to death.
But he had a son.

He became an orphan when his
mother met her death soon after.

I didn't come back to settle
the score or to kill my enemies.

It was a casual visit to refresh
my childhood memories

about this manor and the temple.
That was my only aim.

I wanted to go back without
letting anyone know about it.

Unni?
Unni!

I lived as a true Brahmin
until the age of 18.

I haven't forgotten the chants
my father had taught me.

I broke the sacred thread
that I wore on my 'Upanayana'

when it became a hurdle for my
job at a tea shop in Daryaganj.

I threw the thread into
River Yamuna with a heavy heart.

If the customs and practices
allow.. - That will do.

Brahmadathan's son
deserves to perform the rites.

My first impression
about you wasn't wrong.

I knew your face even though
I'd never seen you before.

You can wear the sacred thread
tomorrow. One more time.

Not across your body,
but around your mind.

To hell with..
- Nandan!

Nandan, what are you doing?
- That's enough!

Stop everything.
Let's split up.

Friendship is my biggest weakness.

But I don't want a friend
who pushes me around.

You can go!
- Nandan, listen to what..

You can leave.
You want my money.

You can buy this palace and
play the Lord. I don't mind.

But..
- Don't shout nonsense.

Your money paid for this.
It is yours. I don't need anything.

My commitment
will end after tonight.

I've been carrying this pain
in my heart for long.

Tonight, my father's soul
will rest in peace.

Shut your..
You should leave this moment!

I met my friends.

They said enough.
You are the reason.

Your pride!
- They made a mistake.

Why are you ignoring it?
- Who are you to punish them?

They are my friends.
- So who am I?

Nandan, you have always quarrelled
with me for such morons!

I don't want to hear anything!
- All I want is a day! - No!

Don't make me throw you out!

You'll lose your face
in front of everyone!

It is your dirty inferior
complex that is talking!

I am not doing this for the glory!

The situations made me do it.

I won't like it if your friends
misbehave with that girl.

For I intend to marry her.

Try to understand. They have been
anticipating this day for 16 years.

This festival!
I must be here for it to happen.

Just this night, Nandan. I'll leave
tomorrow night. Please! - Get out!

If you have a thick skull..
- Leave me!

You're too drunk! Come here!

Stay here for the day!

I'll return
before I leave for ever.

Stay there.

Jagan!

Jagan!

Nambeesan,
there is no one at the riverside.

Is Lord Appan up to something?

Won't the police come, Mangalam?
- Who knows!

Madhavan, police!
- They will just leave, my Lord!

The huts in Chalikkara Colony
would be on fire now.

The police will leave
once they get wind of it.

The son of Kaloor
Brahmadathan Namboothiri.

So you were not just another face.

Yes, sir.

Sir, message.

I will try, sir.
Okay.

Mr. Jagan,
there is a fire in Chalikkara.

A fire broke out in
Chalikkara Colony. We're leaving.

I think you'll be fine from now on.
Let me go.

Don't look back. You must not
mind these obstacles. Come.

Don't stop. Continue.

Don't look back. You mustn't be
violent while holding the sword.

Come.

Come here.

Come on.

Walk!

My Lord!

My Lord!

Give it here!
I'll take it from here.

Go and beat the living
daylights out of them!

My Lord!

Kaloor Brahmadathan Namboothiri's
son didn't come here

to settle the score
or to kill my enemies.

If that were the case,
I'd have taken your head

along with the holy jewellery.

I'm letting you go to enjoy the
aftermaths of your heinous acts.

Go!

Nandan.

Nandan, I..
- Don't you dare touch me.

You humiliated me.
Cheated me.

You paid me back for my generosity.

Let go of me!
- Hey! What I did was wrong.

You were not ready to listen to me
or understand my problems.

I had to do it.
Forgive me.

Come out and see.

What for? I don't..
- You must! Come!

My Lord..
Thank you..

My Lord..
- My Lord..

See, Nandan?
Do you know how happy they are?

You share its credit.
- I don't want to hear anything.

My Lord! The people of Kanimangalam
are here to bow at your feet!

The Goddess is pleased.
So are we!

We can't thank you enough, my Lord!
- Don't.

It is not me whom you should thank.

I..
I'm just a pointer.

A mere instrument.
Just an agent.

He is your Lord.

It is he who bought the manor.

It was his good heart and kindness

that made
everything possible.

Don't give me anything
that I don't deserve.

With your permission,
I am leaving.

I am taking a girl along with me.

An orphan.
I'm also taking an old man with me.

Bless me.

My Lord..

Sir! Please ask him not to go, sir!

Please ask him to stay!
- Sir, with his kind heart

he is a millionaire in our eyes.

Kanimangalam needs him.
Tell him, sir!

My Lord!

I will lie here.

You will have to go through me!

Please don't go, my Lord!

No, Govindankutty.
I must go.

I must.

Here.
The car is outside.

In it is a case full of cash.
Take it. - No, Bappu.

I have borrowed more than enough.

No more debts, not anymore.

Jagan! Jagan, wait!

Wait, Jagan!

My Lord!

You are not leaving.
You can't leave them behind.

You shouldn't, Jagan.
Forgive me.

Don't you know me?
I was just drunk..

I must be the one to leave.

You must be here.

As their Lord.

Don't forget.

I'll come back
when I feel like seeing you.

If I couldn't..
- I'll come to you.

When you face new challenges

I'll be there for you.

Tell me. Where do you
want your honeymoon to be?

Paris? Amsterdam? Greece?

More beautiful than them
all is Kanimangalam.

Thank you for that gift.

A lot of thanks.

"Oh, mynah atop the tree

"can you sing many a song?"

"Can you check our luck

"When the crow cries

"Oh, summer bird!

"Oh, mynah atop the tree
