Dude, don't just sit there. Come on!

The show's started. Come, come!

-Oh, get lost, man! -Varun... Varun Thambi, just come!

What, man! What's there to see?

Dude, it's the Metal!

It's a killer Metal show, bro!

I don't care! Metal, my foot!

Stop fussing and just come, bro.

I'm telling you, bro... Metal...

He's been like this since first year.

First of all, you know what? Sumesh just called.

They can't even get in. The grills are locked.

They'll open it in a bit.

Dude, Joppan will fix it.

I'm not watching from outside like an idiot.

Wait, wait. Let's watch it for ten minutes and...

Nearly three decades before this age of relentless speed,

there was a golden era.

Back then...

when I was doing my Pre-Degree...

That was...

the golden era of our college.

-What the hell?! -But...

the dance event they conducted then

was unfortunately... below average,

the enjoyment was incredibly scarce.

Who the hell is that?

But today, things are different.

This choir group called 'Iron Foxes Heavy Metal'...

Choir group?!

What the heck, man?!

Hey Sambhu, tell them to open the gates.

The students outside are going wild.

Whatever I do, the principal has to agree first.

Let's wait till Joppan gets here.

Damn, where is he?!

That's because they didn't send the article, right?

We've almost reached, don't worry.

One sec. Papa's calling.

Hello?

How's it going? Did you collect the prints from the press?

No, Joppan's dad said he'd pick up the magazine copies.

This last-minute panic is totally my daughter's trademark.

I didn't delay it on purpose, Papa.

That haiku poem from the Mechanical department,

“The guys who loved iron more than women.”

came in only last night.

If I leave that out, those guys will burn me alive.

Anyway, hope the event's a huge hit.

Rock the speech, okay?

Okay, Papa.

Is Joppan with you?

Yeah.

Give him my regards.

What did he say?

Told me to pass on his regards to you!

Ah, there they are.

Didn't those guys come?

-I hope I don't screw up the speech! -You won't!

Dear, I could only print 20 copies.

That's enough.

Just need a few copies for the chief guest and those on stage after the launch.

Here, take this.

Aren't you coming in, Dad?

No, I still haven't closed the shop.

-You go ahead. -Okay.

Could you tell Samkutty the event's about to start?

He heard the old flagpole at Mamalassery temple has iridium in it,

so he went there with his gang to scrape it off.

Said he'll return only as a millionaire.

You just go do your work.

Alright then.

So, are we getting something?

Let the program end, we'll arrange something.

-Make sure you do. -Let's go.

You better be there for the publishing ceremony, okay?

I need your opinion on my editorial note.

Okay, I will. Wait a sec.

Hey, hold this.

Take it.

Where were you?

Bro, massive block at Palayam!

Perfect!

Everything okay here?

Those first-years are creating chaos there.

There's space in the Parents' Area.

But that damn Lovely Madam won't let us open the gate.

Damn, we collected money from them too!

Exactly!

-I'll handle it. -What are you gonna do?

We just need the key to open it, right?

Who needs permission? -Okay then.

Don’t invite trouble for no reason. If Lovely Madam finds out, you're dead.

-You hurry up. Fast. -I'll manage.

-Don't make a scene. -I won't! I won't!

I won't... drag this out.

Oh, Jesus!

Thank you.

Yes, ma'am.

He’s got this poetry bug too.

Alpha male... alpha male...

What?

Madam, I've got a few alpha male traits.

Ouch!

Are they all here?

Not really.

One guy from the church scholarship list hasn’t arrived yet.

Who's that?

God knows!

My strength: crisis management.

Weakness: over-hardworking.

Total dedication freak. Probably doesn't even sleep.

Who's this clown?

Only God knows.

Come, let's go there. It's the next block.

Brother had crazy fan following here, right Dad?

Come.

Son, I'm asking you one last time.

Are you sure about this?

Everyone's doing engineering these days.

In a few years, the demand will crash.

Dad, don't talk without vision.

How will people survive without bridges and buildings?

And Dad, you know my biggest strength is crisis management.

Engineering is perfect for that.

Haven't you watched 3 Idiots?

No.

Exactly my point!

-You're Joseph's brother, right? -Yes, sir.

Where's Joseph these days?

He's in Thoothukudi. Working at a company there.

I was coordinating that case back then.

Couldn't reach him after that.

Okay, leave it.

Wait, Joseph Kutty, you're two years behind.

Samkutty. I'm Samkutty.

Sorry, Samkutty. What happened?

Sir, I took a repeat for IIT.

Really? Then?

While repeating, I realised...

when a prestigious college like BCET is right next door...

where curiosity meets wisdom.

And my brother studied here too.

This admission is through the church scholarship.

If you fail even one subject or your attendance drops,

-the scholarship will get revoked. -Yeah, I know.

Then your dad will have to pay the fees.

He'll pay.

Sir, your tea.

So tell me, Samkutty.

Why did you choose Civil Engineering?

Sir, when workers came

to build our house back then...

they'd spread sand on the ground like this.

Then they'd pour cement over it

and mix it together.

Once the color became nice and even...

they'd add gravel on top

and mix everything together.

Then they'd dig a hole right in the middle,

and pour water into it.

After that, they'd take a spade and keep mixing everything.

Mixing and mixing...

Sir...

when it turns all mushy and gooey,

you just feel like eating it!

That's when I realised, sir,

there's a Civil Engineer living inside me.

You could've sent him as a mason's helper.

Why take such a huge risk at this age?

That would've been better.

Madam...

that church scholarship guy looks like a total idiot.

He's our Joseph's younger brother.

It's a special recommendation directly from the Bishop.

Just give him admission.

Besides, Joseph was like this too at first.

He'll learn eventually.

Guess it runs in their genes.

Oh! So he’s got the ‘he’ll learn eventually’ gene, huh?

♪ One stolen glance, and she got cemented in my heart ♪

That's the Smithy. I mean, the forge.

Sir, where do they teach about concrete and stuff?

Boy, first stand properly on the ground.

When the time comes, I'll teach you all that.

Where are you from? Huh?

He got embarrassed!

Silly fellow!

♪ If you know you know ♪

Okay, all of you welcome to the campus.

See, the reason you all chose engineering...

That's Lakshmi.

The other one's Tanvi. And that's Elizabeth.

I'm Prasanth. People call me Parashu.

I'm Samkutty. People call me Samboy.

-What's that girl's name? -Who? Elizabeth?

Not Elizabeth. The other one.

Swathi R Krishna.

Ramesh Marbles owner’s daughter.

-Swathi R Krishna? -Murakami, right?

What?

Norwegian Wood? Murakami?

No, Levi's Original!

-Nice T-shirt. -Thanks.

-Original! -Totally original!

Absolute idiot!

Yes!

Murakami. That's what she said.

Oh, damn!

-Isn't he Joseph's younger brother? -She’s sapiosexual.

A sapiosexual is someone who feels attracted to people

because of their intelligence.

Steve Jobs, Zuckerberg, Elon--

GS Pradeep, Shashi Tharoor, Maitreyan.

Osho!

What's this?

Look!

Man, I don't think she's sapiosexual.

Even Einstein wouldn't impress her.

Will this bloom?

Hey.

That might actually bloom.

Spain has similar ones too.

What now? Go propose to her, bro.

He says he's an Alpha Male.

Need to be a bit careful.

Oh God. Let that loser turn out to be toxic!

Should I propose today itself? How about tomorrow?

You said that yesterday too!

If you wait, that Alpha guy will take her!

No way!

And after proposing, tell her, ‘You’ve got beautiful eyes.’

Come on, say it once.

I’ve got beautiful eyes, right?

Dude! Not your eyes, hers!

Don't confuse me.

I have a master plan.

Listen...

Where are you going?

Avoid cracking lame jokes while talking. Please.

Go. Make her fall for you.

Hey!

Look who's here!

The goddess of the temple herself?

Parashu...

Hey girl...

Shall I tie the knot

and take you home with me?

Dude...

He’s a total red flag!

Red flag?

I'm not into politics.

-My dad used to be-- -Not that, doofus!

Come on, let's go.

0.7.

Bro, Swathi's coming.

Remember what I told you, right? Maintain that tough look.

Only the Forbidden Fruit theory will work now.

-Bro, explain once more. -It's simple.

Whenever you see her, act like she doesn't exist.

Then she'll start wondering

why you're ignoring her.

Whenever she comes around...

just stay in full "whatever" mode.

Eventually, she'll come to you herself.

That's FFT.

FTV...

What if I approach her pretending to be a street photographer--

Bro, have you lost it?

-Just shut up. No need of that. -Right?

-There's that guy again. -We're screwed.

Bro, where are you going?

What's this now?

Isn't this the 'whatever' you mentioned?

This attitude works, right?

Yeah, sure. Go ahead.

Everyone, please calm down.

One at a time.

Shanu, what's the issue?

Sir, due to some incident that happened years ago,

you won't even approve an inter-department fest.

This college feels like a graveyard now.

Same with Freshers' Day too.

Let me finish. Don't interrupt.

We couldn't even organize a Freshers' Day for the juniors.

They're all disappointed.

Hey, these are decisions taken by the governing council.

What governing council, sir...

Listen.

Our college focuses mainly on academics.

The God from the temple is here!

Besides, we have online essay competitions,

-Sudoku and all that. -Sudoku?!

Are those even events, sir?

Then what about Arohan Fest?

Nobody should utter the word "Arohan" inside this campus again.

What nonsense is he saying?

And if you keep bringing it up,

I'll even cancel the Sudoku competition.

Oh, just cancel it!

Anything else regarding the union?

-No sir, that's all. -Then go to your classes.

If you don't allow us--

Hey, listen!

I'll cut your attendance!

-I'll cut all your attendance. Now go. -Go to class.

Go to your classes. Move.

What an attitude! Cranky old geezer!

-These seniors are such a joke. -Silly folks!

Anyone else would've pulled off the fest by now.

Who here is capable of that?

This is all just the seniors showing off.

Organizing a fest takes real effort.

Capable?

Man, the "Whatever" era is over.

Now begins the "Capability" era.

If I revive the Arohan Fest that’s been dead for two years,

she'll see my capability.

Besides, my brother was the convener of the last Arohan Fest.

We've got the legacy already.

Who do you think you are? Jagannathan from Aaraam Thampuran?

Yes. Jagannathan!

-So, dear Jagannathan... -Yes, dear?

Your friend Prasanth here has a total net worth of 114 rupees.

Even if you give me more time, nothing's changing.

To conduct the fest, the management has to approve it.

And that approval must land in our hands like a divine ornament.

Can you pull that off?

Approval?

We'll give the principal an application

so emotional, he'll cry reading it.

This is a silly crisis.

And I will manage.

Hey, what's behind you?

I asked what's on the back of your head.

Oh! My hair? That’s my style!

Superb style!

-You use conditioner and all? -Yeah.

-Which one? -Dove.

-Dove? Daily? -Twice a week.

Hey, kiddo.

Heard you're quite the fun guy around here.

-Nothing like that, bro. -Nothing like that?

Just got here and already running the show?!

Take it easy. You've still got 3-4 years left here.

Looks like trouble!

Were you the one who submitted the Arohan Fest request?

Yeah.

-We-- -What the hell is your problem?

-Let me talk. You wanna go first? -Go ahead.

We weren't just sitting around doing nothing here.

Because of your dumb request,

the one event we had is about to get cancelled.

I'm sick of hearing taunts from students of other colleges.

We're suffering even now

because your brother messed around and killed 3 people.

Don't drag my brother into this.

Oh, did the kid lose his temper?

Don't try to intimidate me.

I'm trembling already. Might wet my pants.

You little punk.

If you keep acting smart around here,

you won't even survive a year here. Got it?

Where's your ID tag?

Where's the tag?

Scared now?

Don't you want to study?

Don't you want to become an engineer?

See you then?

See you, Samkutty!

What happened, man? What's the issue?

Nothing.

All good, man?

-Let go of me! -I'm not even holding you!

Hey, kid. It’s 15 rupees per bottle.

Whatever!

Brother, here.

How much?

Bro...

You... why'd you come without calling?

I did call. Couldn't reach you.

Yeah... I changed my number.

-I'll keep my bag inside and come. -Yeah, go ahead.

When are you coming home, brother?

I will... I'll come.

How are classes going?

It's not as easy as I thought to get things rolling.

Means?

I mean... the graphics and all...

So there's no fest this year either?

There is. The fest will happen this time.

Talks are going on with the management.

The kids in the college troll groups are really cursing me.

You noticed that?

That's just some dumb seniors talking rubbish, brother.

Can't really blame them though.

The thousand different probabilities of what I could've done that day,

I thought about them all.

But the worst happened...

Maybe that's just how fate works.

Do you get what I'm saying?

Leave it, brother.

We've spoken about this enough already.

Yeah... true.

Bro... where are you going?

That... my bike is at the workplace. I'll go get it.

You go to bed.

I'll be back.

Brother...

Don't go.

Just because you're my brother,

you're facing a lot of crap at college, right?

No, bro.

Sorry.

It didn't happen because of you.

I did it... so the students could enjoy the fest...

Brother, sit down.

I've lost everything. Even her...

Brother...

My life’s completely screwed right now.

I'm in a trap.

Life stuck me in a loop and keeps beating me down.

Don't cry, brother.

I don't feel anything anymore, Samkutty.

Everything will be okay.

You're quite something, Samkutty.

I was unable to cry.

Thanks.

And then?

Brother... brother...

So there's no fest this year either?

Hey, Parashu.

Yeah, tell me, man.

We have to pull off the fest this time. No matter what.

I'm dead serious.

We should bring my brother

and everyone from his batch too.

Look at those guys, absolutely killing it!

Dude, our college doesn’t even have a fest. Nothing!

Our college sucks, man!

Seriously!

It wasn’t always this pathetic.

CET has Dhwani, NIT has Ragam, IIT has Saarang.

Our college had a fest that stood just as tall.

Arohan Fest.

Arohan was the face of this college.

-Arohan fest was the emotion of the students here. - Come, let's go.

We've got classes.

Don’t give up, don't give up! Keep going!

But what do we even get out of hosting this fest?

There are plenty of perks!

We can bunk classes with attendance.

Can roam around hunting for sponsors.

And students from other colleges will visit our college too.

So what?

Girls from women’s colleges like LBS and St. Teresa’s will show up!

Do you know how many relationships Arohan Fest has sparked?

Look, we also want to conduct a fest here.

But we need sanction for that, right?

-We will get it! And if we don’t, we’ll protest till we do! -Yeah!

Excuse me. you’re the one protesting?

You are the least qualified and the most unfit person for the job, man!

Hey, "Vaan!"

Who's that?!

Sperm boy, you can’t pull that off!

Guys, the canteen’s got fresh cream buns today!

Come on, it’s my treat.

-Alright then. -Come, come!

Who was that?

A call from the college.

Apparently Samkutty went and submitted

a request to the Bishop for Arohan Fest. Right in the middle of the Mass!

This is My body and My blood.

Amen.

Such a crazy boy!

Not saying this because he’s your son,

but Samkutty always amazes me.

The hair, the style...

walking around flexing those muscles...

He’s very impressed with himself, brother.

The kid's a phenomenon.

You should accept that at least now.

Phenomenon?!

All that damn “talent” crashed on my chest

and there went his scholarship!

Looks like the fest is his latest thrill.

Just time-pass! As if he’ll really run that fest!

Still, I’m his fan.

Fan of what?!

You know that rusted bus lying in the college ground, right?

Looks great, kids climb all over it for photos.

But what's the point? No engine!

He’s just like that.

All noise, crisis management, punch dialogues...

but no engine!

B... but engines are outdated now...

everything’s EV these days. Electric.

Electric vehicle?

Man, I’m talking about Samkutty here!

He’s got no engine!

I actually came to fix the fan.

You doing alright, son?

All the best!

Thank you.

Hey...

-Do you think he heard that? -Yes, he did.

Damn!

It’s fine. Just say sorry to him.

Nothing that a sorry can’t fix.

He’s your son. Just tell him. No big deal.

Tell him.

Good night.

G.. good night, right?

Dear Wilson Uncle,

-Hey... -Bro?

Today’s company is the only one hiring students with arrears.

You’re not coming?

It's probably some organ-trafficking company.

What are you writing?

It’s an item for Arohan.

Dude, aren’t you done yet?

Our college life is almost over.

From the Ombudsman to Child Welfare, you’ve sent letters to everyone!

Even Swathi, whom you kept chasing,

has already gone through her second breakup.

The world’s moved on.

And you’re still here with letters and your concrete fetish!

What’s this? You even printed WhatsApp chats?!

“Hi, chetta... no reply."

Vineeth Sreenivasan?!

Of course!

Hey! Grand!

Just wait and watch, my boy!

All my earlier plans had just one thing missing.

What?

Emotion.

But this time, we’ll definitely get the sanction.

Because...

Because?

You’re the key part of my plan, bro.

Really?

Then I’ll sign twice!

Go on, sign.

Then we’ll head straight to the office.

Those are the parents of the students who died that day.

The one getting out of that car is Merin chechi’s father.

So… shall we go in?

Why are they all here?

Madam, it’s been almost five years now.

That fest belongs to the students here.

We all wish to see it restarted.

I have a request...

Please open the auditorium and let events happen again, madam.

Well... I...

What I mean is...

The students here really want the fest back.

Until that happens, our children keep getting blamed for it.

Exactly.

That’s... quite difficult for us.

Madam, just see this.

These are petitions students have sent to our homes.

We receive 10-15 of these every day.

And phone calls too.

There should be some limit, right?

Well... maybe a few students are interested.

Sir, today is my birthday.

-How old are you today?-There aren’t really any events in college.

Shouldn’t we conduct Arohan fest?

Most students are still focused on studies.

Arohan Fest...?

-Huh?! Digambaran?! From which batch?! -Your age!

-I asked your age! -About the Arohan... Arohan Fest?

Who's Paloli Mohammed Kutty?

-What’s going on there? You, come here. -Madam, this guy!

Hold this!

-Yes, madam. -What’s the issue?

My friend Parashu... I mean, Prashanth...

says he’s quitting this college.

Huh? When?!

What's the reason?

He says there’s no fest or entertainment in this college.

You mean, that Prashanth Raj from S7 with 32 arrears?

He should definitely quit this college.

Let him go! Let him go! Tell him to leave.

So, the problem’s solved then?

If that’s what Prashanth wants, let him do it.

Nothing else, right?

Let it be, madam.

But what made him think like that?

Isn’t that what we should be looking at?

Madam, before we graduate, we just want to witness Arohan Fest once.

Plus, during the last NAAC accreditation,

we missed the A certificate.

Because we didn’t have extra-curricular like Onam celebrations or a fest.

Axing a flagship fest halfway

will definitely leave a black mark on your career, madam.

If you say 'no' today, nothing changes.

Tomorrow will just be another boring day... No... Forget it!

We must conduct this fest, no matter what, madam.

Poor my friend Parashu wakes up from sleep

shouting “Arohan Fest! Arohan Fest!”

Don’t overdo it, man!

This fest should be dedicated to Chitra chechi who left us--

Chaithra.

Ch... Chaitra chechi,

Merin chechi, Akhil chettan... to all of them, madam.

If this fest happens,

they’ll be happy watching from heaven.

It worked!

Oh, sorry.

I got a bit emotional.

You were having a staff meeting here, right?

-That's okay. -I’m sorry, guys.

Praise the Lord. Amen.

All the best.

Uncle...

I just... saw you upstairs...

Ah!

Well... the students also plan to release

Merin chechi’s magazine during the fest,

the one that couldn’t be released that day.

That’s good.

And, uncle...

Sorry.

For what?

Nothing... just like that.

In the principal’s room… I was just...

Good morning, sir. This is FRI,

Frequency Resonance Injector.

With this, we can trip the brain of any system.

But this system was invented to help people, right?

Then why are you trying to trip it for no reason?

Sir, shall we start?

Sir, safety glass.

-Light. -Oh!

Sir, could you stand a little aside? It’s about to shoot at high speed.

If it hits you, you’ll turn into a slab on the spot.

Really?

Who the hell is this guy?

Those at the back, move aside, move!

Hey, move back!

Your skull will crack open! Move!

Sir, just a little to the side.

Hey!

Is this for grinding betel leaves and areca nut?

Is this your "instant concreting?"

Is this the crap you're going to save the Mullaperiyar dam with?

Sir, just like instant coffee, this is instant concrete.

This is just the beta version.

Once the full version comes, we can even seal blocks underwater!

I’ll seal a block on your head!

Why are you so obsessed with concrete anyway?

Just get lost, man! Here!

Take this too.

Move it like this.

On this side...

Samkutty, do you know where all I searched for you?

Wait till you hear what I found out!

Dear students, there’s an important announcement.

Before that, let me remind you,

BCET College still prioritizes academics.

After many discussions and review meetings,

so, it is my immense pleasure to announce,

the management has finally approved

-Arohan Fest! -YAY!

Superb!

Nailed it!

You did it, man!

I came looking for you just to tell you this.

You should be the convener of Arohan Fest!

Here, your concrete tilak!

YAY!!!

Arohan! Arohan! Arohan!

Arohan! Arohan! Arohan!

Arohan!

Arohan! Arohan! Arohan!

So, after all these years of waiting,

our Aarohan Fest has finally been approved.

And this is going to be its first meeting.

This time the management is planning Arohan on a grand scale.

I’m pretty excited about it.

Speaking about Arohan Fest...

What's wrong?

-The gateways of Ananthapuri-- -Sorry, we have got class.

To hell with the fest. I’m going home.

Sir, this for BTS.

What? DTS?!

Not DTS, it's BTS, sir.

-Did you get your record signed? -No.

-Yes. -Brother...

The fest got approved.

Ah!

Good for you all, man.

Make it grand.

YES!

Okay.

YES!

So now that the fest is on,

who’s our convener?

Who else?

Our very own Samkutty!

Climb up, bro! Climb on my back!

Convener! Convener! Convener!

Convener! Convener! Convener!

Convener! Convener! Convener!

Conve...

What's this?

Finally, my relentless efforts have paid off.

So many meetings, memorandums, letters!

And at last, our fest is officially sanctioned.

Thank God.

Our students are so thrilled.

Personally, me too.

Our union sees this as a huge opportunity.

Especially me!

I'm grateful.

Very good, Vivi.

Only collect funds from students who are willing to contribute.

Whew! I’m spared!

-Let Swathi be the main convener. -Wow, congrats!

Vivi and the UUC representatives will assist her.

Okay?

Okay, sir?

Now... is there anyone else?

What the hell?!

Why is that freeloader stealing your credit?

That guy, Vivi!

Alright, the general body meeting is concluded.

Next...

Hey, are you crying?

Get down.

-Oh, no. -Sam...

I knew this would happen.

Let whoever wants be the convener.

Bro...

Just remind them about that magazine.

Concrete crap.

I'm leaving.

Hey, no. Stop there. Come with me.

You can't just walk away! Let's demand answers!

-Hey, congratulations! -Where are you all going? Sit down!

Where are you going? Meeting's not over. Sit down there!

Wow, Samkutty chettan!

Madam, Samkutty is the one who bled for this fest,

sacrificing his own studies!

At least include him in some committee.

Oh please!

Look at this.

Proof that he already contacted Vineeth Sreenivasan for the ProShow.

-Guys! -Vineeth Sreenivasan?!

Who's that?

Whoa!

That's not possible, madam.

He has around 25 arrears.

Shut up, man!

You even have a supply in Environmental Science, right?

Shameful.

If he can't even write two lines about global warming,

how will he handle a fest?

Hey, you!

We know climate change is real.

What did you do for the fest, other than stuffing your face with cream buns?

Answer me, mister.

Madam...

Are you crying?

Caught him!

No.

Are you upset that you didn't make it to the committee?

No.

I have a cold.

Here, cough once.

What is this, a general ward at a medical college?

Madam, he’s been camping

outside the office with this excuse for years.

If this guy jumps off the college roof,

we'll be in trouble!

Yes! Yes! He might jump, madam!

Just squeeze him into some committee, madam!

Please...

Madam, honestly, the one most qualified

to convene Arohan Fest is Samkutty.

No one has obsessed over this fest like he has.

I know that.

And you know, because of this

we even nicknamed him "Fest Man."

-Right? We call him that. -Yes.

Even his seminar topic was about the fest.

He literally argued in the seminar

that lack of fests causes mental breakdowns in students!

And about his arrears,

I believe he has cleared most of them.

Right?

So it’s only fair that Samkutty heads the fest.

When we’ve got someone this passionate,

why look for anyone else?

So please include Samkutty in the committee, madam.

Alright then, the Arohan committee is formed.

Event head - Swathi. Media Head - Elizabath.

Discipline Committee head - Jibin.

As usual, the discipline committee is full of troublemakers.

And the one who cried and begged… Sorry…

the one who sneaked in through the emotional wild card,

Samkutty, is our convener.

I didn’t cry. I just had a cold!

-Cold! -Okay, blow your nose.

We should arrange a photo with Vineeth Sreenivasan too.

Samkutty chetta! I’m Bosco,

1500 meters, state level,

in first year now.

If you need anything, just tell me.

Actually, I’m a hidden gem.

Ah, impressive.

Man, she's there. Just go and talk.

Anagha... Anagha... The principal is calling you.

Go there. There.. there... Just come here.

Something’s going on there.

Swathi, thank you so much.

Actually I’m happy for you, Samkutty.

Everyone here knows how hard you worked for this fest.

You really deserve it.

We’re good between us, right?

I’m okay.

You were the one who proposed and then ran off that day.

After that you barely even looked at me.

Well...

I got a bit busy after that.

Oh, busy?

Anyway, I was just too young and immature then.

Nothing like that now.

Too young?!

Anyway, my friends say

your proposal that day should be turned into a research paper.

Meanwhile, you were in a relationship with some Navy guy, right?

That... didn’t really work out.

-Oh wow. -Swathi... Swathi...

-I mean... I’m sorry. -Swathi, come to office. -One second.

-Sam, we’re going to run the fest now. -Yes.

It’s serious business. A big task.

So no more childish stuff, okay?

Yes! Of course, Swathi. It's a simple crisis.

And Swathi...

I really did have a cold.

Basically I’m not someone who cries in any situation.

What’s wrong with that?

Guys who cry when they’re emotional are hot. Okay?

What did she say at the end?

That I’m hot!

Hot?!

Man, you’re there!

Really?

You’re on another level now!

Fest sorted and romance sorted on the same day!

Now no one can stop me.

♪ O, Mother, my warm blanket ♪

Tomorrow evening at BCET College,

as part of Arohan Fest,

the sensational pride of Malayalam cinema,

actor, director, singer, writer and producer...

Vineeth Sreenivasan,

live in ProShow!

Hey, Vadi!

Yes, bro!

The tip of this mic is rusted.

Call those guys and ask them to bring a proper one.

Okay, I’ll call them now.

The sound’s all scattered. Can’t hear a thing.

Stop chatting and go get the thing.

Bring it right now. Got it?

-I told you not to include these fellows. -What can I do!

Bro,

the new mic’s coming from Muruga now. I’ve already called him.

This Vineeth Sreenivasan ProShow, will that be a challenge for us?

What show is that, Vadi?

It’s a big musical show.

Hey, how much would Vineeth Sreenivasan’s program cost?

A rough figure?

At least ten...

Ten lakh.

Ten lakh?!

Does money mean nothing anymore?

They’re college kids, bro. It’s a big event.

And in the evening

they’re planning a bike rally from our Nemom ground too.

Bro.

This is Varkala Sudheesh.

Our own guy.

Sounds exactly like Vineeth Sreenivasan.

Sings brilliantly.

Even looks almost like him.

Shall we bring him?

We can get him for about eight thousand rupees.

Just place him after your program.

No need for all that.

You just hold the mic and hum a little, bro.

The crowd will go wild, right?

Of course.

Kuttan bro,

your photo looks a bit small.

That brat's coat fills half the poster.

Where is he?

There he is.

Let go of it, man.

After all, Agnivesh has won prizes in Super Singer.

What were we doing at his age?

Just plucking tamarinds and mangoes!

Bro, everything’s fine,

but I really can’t stand that boy’s show-off.

His mouth is bigger than he is.

From the moment he came, he’s been bossing me around.

Honey-coated jaggery, ginger water, cinnamon...

What is he, an elephant?

A while ago he told me to burst the firecrackers at low volume.

How do you burst crackers at low volume?

Let go of it. He’s just a kid.

What I’m saying is, once the show’s over,

we’ll keep you, and tear him apart.

This is Agnivesh’s father.

Greetings.

Your son sings wonderfully.

Sreekuttan chetta, can I tell you something?

It's for the first time Agnivesh is performing on stage

with a guy like you.

Hello, what do you mean?!

No, I’m not saying it in a bad way.

Agnivesh has studied music professionally, you see.

And this song “Mother, my warm blanket” he’s singing...

Yeah...

Don't worry, he’ll manage it.

His voice does crack a bit when it goes high.

That’s just because his voice is still changing. Totally normal.

No, after hearing this song, he said

it feels a bit amateurish.

Also it seems like it was composed by someone who doesn’t really know music.

Who said Kuttan doesn't know music?

Huh? He composed that song?

♪ The sky bloomed in full ♪

♪ In your little nest of blooms My heart gently swell, birdie ♪

♪ The river sparkles, the fields shine ♪

Vadi...

Okay sir, got it. You sing well, I see that.

It's not me who got a problem.

You know why?

Agnivesh is a bit of a hothead.

He’s gotta be fiery.

Only then can he cook it right!

Don't worry. The show will rock.

It's my word.

-Come on bro, let’s have idlis. -Got sambar?

-Yeah, Sambar too. -Alright, then I'll have them.

-What’s this? -How’s it?

What?

My feet.

I went to the beauty parlor for a pedicure.

Wow.

Just help me put this on.

Come on!

Isn’t this a bit over the top, girl?

The entire Ayyampattu family is showing up.

They've booked rooms at Govinda Tourist Home.

Auntie, grandma, the whole clan is coming.

They cursed me, said I’ll be doomed!

What difference does it make if they come?

They need to witness a massive crowd cheering for you!

We don’t have any riches to flaunt.

So we might as well flaunt your vocals!

That’s right.

But ever since I tied the sacred thread,

the boys say I've turned into a weakling.

I'm the one who decides that!

My husband is still an absolute boss! What do those idiots know?

And when you sing "Mother, my warm blanket," I’ll be right in the front row.

Even though it’s a song about your mother,

when I hear it, I feel like you're singing it to me.

Will see to it.

But this is my debut.

I feel a little nervous.

I never got this tense, not even for that Thuckalay issue!

Don’t stress, the Goddess is watching over you.

Plus, your mother and I too.

Aren’t three powerful women enough backup for you?

Dad, O! A song that starts with O!

Okay, 'O', right?

Yeah, let’s go…

-Yeah, 'O My Precious One' -Sing it, Dad.

Sure.

♪ O my precious one, come to me ♪

Here's the list.

Every thirty minutes,

a secret admirer who wishes to remain anonymous

must dedicate a song to Samkutty bro.

See you then?

Who is this Samkutty?

♪ Mic check! ♪

Samkutty bro is iconic.

A guy with a deep fascination for concrete.

I wish he coordinates the Attukal Pongala next.

-Ugly boy! -A visionary!

Who the hell is he to revive the stalled fest?

Samkutty bro! Samkutty bro!

This is how Vineethettan will come up to sing.

Who the hell is he?

Samkutty bro! Samkutty bro!

Woohoo!

Nailed it, bro!

-What the hell is this? -Flash mob...

Bro, it's their flash mob.

They act like they're gonna fight, then suddenly dance.

It's the 'Koottukaar' gang's idea.

Yikes!

What a powerful name for a gang, right?

'Koottukaar'!

-Hey, Bosco! -Yeah?

Keep an eye on me at all times.

If any of them tries to mess with me, finish them.

Got it? You have full power of attorney.

Okay bro, consider it done.

That's my boy!

Guys, fire and safety, ambulance, all that needs to be managed.

And isn't Parashu handling the police clearance for the mud race?

Samkutty!

Swathi R Krishna?

Sis...

We've got some crisis management there. Come on.

Let’s just go there and do whatever.

What did you respond to Vineeth Sreenivasan's mail?

He says he won't get on stage without the payment.

Swathi--

You made my dad pitch in half the cash because we don't have funds!

Have you ever seen a marble company sponsor a college fest?

'RAMESH MARBLES'

Are you gonnna get me beaten up by the students

for supporting your damned fest emotion?

Swathi, it is a simple crisis.

I will manage.

Hey, get her some water. She’s feeling dizzy.

Water... Swathi... I am the convener of the...

She's not okay! Get water first!

Okay. Okay.

Good thing they stopped it in time.

There's a contusion on your foot bone.

I've put a crepe bandage for now.

If the pain stays after 7-8 days,

come back for a review and we'll do an X-ray.

Okay, doctor.

Okay.

Scrolling Facebook now?

There's a reason.

Hey Chakki! How dare you fight on the road?

Chakki?!

-Let go of me, mom. -You!

-Please don't embarrass me! -What's so funny, huh?

Your butts should be set on fire!

Who else is in this 'Koottukaar, the buddies' gang?

Not me. Not me.

Wait, you guys don't even know if you're buddies?

-Saji... -Sir?

Call their parents here.

And file an FIR.

-Oh no. Please sir... -Sorry, sir...

Vineeth Sreenivasan's ProShow is tonight.

Sir... please hear me out, sir..

What do we do now?

Bro...

The situation is out of control.

Whenever I call that guy, some Tamil or Telugu starts playing!

He even sent me a voice note.

Just listen to this.

"Even nonsense has its limits."

"If you can't conduct an event, don't even try."

"Have a good day."

There's a Hindi version too, listen.

'Nonsense karne ko bhi...'

The rest of the committee says you're the one who caused this mess.

That's what everyone is saying.

They say this is fallout from your old gang wars.

We're screwed.

Sir...

Considering the heroics you pulled off at SN College back in the day...

This is something you can easily understand, right?

Right? Right?

-Yes, yes. -Yes.

Yes.

How do you know all that?

Everyone in our college knows it.

You're the local SI after all.

The tales of you single-handedly gheraoing Ashram Road,

everybody knows that.

-Right? -Yes, yes.

-And that overnight evacuation... -No, it didn’t work out.

Since the guys you beat up haven't filed a complaint, you may leave now.

But if this happens again, you'll see my real face.

Get going.

I knew from the start

this would end exactly like this.

Coming here itself was a waste.

No matter how hard you try to be decent...

your sins will always come chasing you!

One day he'll die by someone's knife!

Hey, stop talking rubbish!

You saw the college kids storming in, didn't you?

Even with all this trouble, did he raise his hand?

Look how calm he's standing even now.

Sir!

Calm, my foot!

Back in the day, he used those hands a lot.

Now when it's actually needed, he's suddenly calm!

Sir...

There's a problem. The guy they beat up is...

That's exactly why you ended up like this.

Don't make me start again.

You sure? Is it him?

It's Kuttan, sir. Look.

Hey, hey! Wait!

You guys beat up Kuttan?

You picked a fight with Thotta Kuttan, you senseless idiots?

Oh no! Thotta Kuttan?

Who is he?

Whoever it is, we're cooked for sure!

You think he's someone you can casually mess with?

He's a criminal! A full-on criminal!

Did you see my knife?

Sir, isn't he some random singer guy?

Thirty men came to finish him.

So he rammed them into the Thuckalay rocks with a jeep

and blasted them with thotta bomb!

That "singer" of yours did that!

You know Appalam Haji,

the guy who rules loading and parking at Chala Market?

That uncle from the goonda list who pops up in newspapers sometimes?

Yeah, that same uncle.

Kuttan stabbed a loading hook through that uncle's chest

and ripped flesh out!

And that too on a busy market day.

Plus 7 other cases of attacking with thotta bombs.

Back then, he played with bombs and explosives.

Now he wears a sacred thread like Velayudhan from Naran,

and walks the path of music and family.

He's a goonda!

A damn singing goonda!

If he ever takes off that sacred thread...

Did you hear about the fight that happened in college, Father?

-A fight? -The one near the front gate!

That was a street play!

-A social awareness street play. -No, a literal street fight!

Hey, nothing serious.

Sanal sir just wanted a quick word with Samkutty.

That’s all this meeting is about. Nothing else...

Absolutely nothing!

Hey Sam, come to my room.

Cheers, bro.

Hey, Sam’s here.

-So, what happened? -Kind of a scene.

Lovely madam wasn’t agreeing at first.

Since Kuttan and his gang trashed the campus,

the management wants to file a complaint.

Ah, okay.

Right now they’re letting it slide

only because Vineeth Sreenivasan’s show is sold out.

But if one more issue pops up, the fest is definitely cancelled.

Bro, then--

Swathi! Swathi! Sorry guys, CET students are calling.

You have to come to the green room. Come. Quick.

We sent them for collections, not a single shop paid.

Kuttan and his gang told everyone not to donate.

Samkutty…

Something’s brewing.

We’ll handle things inside campus.

We’ve placed volunteers at the back gate too.

How’s that?

You do absolutely nothing.

Just go grab an ice cream and chill.

Okay, bro.

Not just campus. Cover the FM lab too.

And the parking area.

We need eyes everywhere.

So no drinking tonight.

Never, bro.

Shh... don’t throw it away!

It’s not as easy as you think.

That guy’s a certified OG terror.

So I’ve set up a little plan.

What plan?

Hired a few goons from Muttathara.

Clash Madhu, Kattappa Suni.

Both are Kuttan’s equal rivals.

Look...

I don’t want any soft drink.

Hey! What’s this?

You take our money and mock us?

You loser!

I’ll handle this crisis myself.

Yeah, you better.

When Vineeth Sreenivasan arrives, there should be zero drama.

If he sees a mess, it’ll look bad.

Very bad. Really bad.

To hell with his ice cream!

-Is there booze in it -Yeah.

I’ll need it.

Go straight and take a right.

Kavya, what about the CET guys?

-All sorted. -It’s all sorted.

-Okay. -We’ve handled everything.

Samkutty, I’ve made those corrections.

Yeah, that works.

Take it to the LED and run a test.

Will your brother come tomorrow?

Nothing’s finalized yet.

I’ve pulled a small trick.

-Hello. -Hello.

Joseph, right?

Yes. Who’s this?

This is Merin’s father.

Wilson.

Ah... yes.

Where are you now?

Are you in town?

I... I’m in Thoothukudi.

I work here.

Oh.

Nothing else.

Got a call from college.

They’re hosting the fest this time.

So… Merin’s old magazine...

The students said they’re finally releasing it.

I thought...

it would be nice if you could come too, Joseph.

I... there’s no one else at the site...

So...

I... not sure...

Well... I mean...

Joseph, you must come.

I...

You like your brother that much?

Of course!

He’s amazing.

You know those perfect, goody-goody guys we see around?

They usually have some top-tier shady business going on.

But he’s not like that.

Inside and out, he’s genuinely a good guy.

Vodka. Want some?

No.

So, my brother...

When I was around seven, our mom left us.

Oh.

Hey... sorry.

Did she have some health issue?

No.

She literally left us... eloped with someone.

We never really knew the exact reason.

Dad used to drink a lot back then.

Maybe mom had her own logic.

-But mom... -Samkutty, got a pen?

Yes.

After mom left, dad’s life sort of crashed.

Honestly, it was my 11 year old brother who took care of me.

He restored some balance at home.

After that, Dad started trying harder to be a better father.

Even though it was just three guys at home...

we were happy.

But after my brother left, nothing feels right.

Life’s like a boring government ad now.

And I’ve always been a spoiled brat for my dad anyway.

If my brother comes for this fest...

meets everyone

and faces all this again...

maybe... things might click again.

Everything might be okay again.

Sam...

Do you need a hug?

Hey! Get lost!

Or maybe a...

Swathi, are you crying?

What? Why would I cry?

Swathi, you don’t cry easily either, just like me, right?

Everything will be fine. The event will be awesome.

Your brother will come tomorrow too.

So all okay, right?

You’ve lost your muscles now.

No motivation anymore.

Who am I even trying to impress?

By the way, when is Vineeth Sreenivasan arriving?

Vineethettan’s on the 8 a.m. flight tomorrow.

Bro!

-Bro! -Bro!

What are you doing here?

Got a college show here. What about you?

An award function.

Universal music director Shaan Rahman!

At Sreemoolam Club.

Come along. I’ll drop you.

Hey, they’ve arranged biriyani for me there.

I’ll get you biriyani. I’m dropping you!

Be honest. Came to give the award?

No man, seriously...

Dude, it’s been a while. Where is he?

Yeah, true.

Bro, Vineethettan’s flight hasn’t landed yet.

What? He texted me he already landed.

Where are you guys?

We’re right in front of the Domestic Terminal.

What? Domestic?!

Not domestic, International!

-Go pick him up fast, okay? -International?!

Ah, okay, okay.

International! International! International!

Bro, the other side of the airport!

-The other side? Why? -Come on, move, move!

Now I’m totally confused.

Why’d he land there? Isn’t Domestic this side?

How would I know?

-I’ve never even been on a flight. -Domestic... International...

Hey, I think I just saw Vineeth Sreenivasan.

We’re going to pick him up, and you say you saw him already?

Nah...

Must’ve been someone else.

Manager’s calling.

-Pick it up. -Yeah, bro.

Ah, Samkutty, glad you picked up Vineethettan.

-Picked up?! -Drop him at the hotel, okay?

Okay.

-What happened? -Vineethettan has already been picked up.

Picked up?

-Who? -Who?

You must be college professors, right?

Yes, yes.

This is Professor Subhash Paul.

I’m Manik Pasha.

Oh.

I think Kuttan Goonda was driving that car!

-Kuttan? -Yeah. -Kuttan?!

-KIDNAP!!! -KIDNAP!!!

U-turn! U-turn! U-turn!

Which branch? Mechanical?

Yeah, yeah. Mechanical.

Me, brake and clutch,

and bro... I mean, Subhash sir... carburetor and valve.

And we... oil change!

Vineethetta!

Vineeth sir!!!

-Vineethetta! -Look here! Behind!

-Bro, they’re chasing us! --Hey! Look here, Vineeth sir!

Stop the car, bro!

-Vineeth sir! -Will see to it.

Oh no!

Vineethettaaaa!

Look here, your bouquet is in this car, mister!

Hey, man, Vineethettaa... Vineeth Sreenivasan!

This is Arohan! This is Arohan!

-Vineethetta! -This car! This car!

Ozin, drive fast! Samkutty, pull your leg inside!

Hey, head inside!

Hey, pull over! Go fast!

Vineethettan... Vineethettan... He's a goonda!

Not that car,

this car!

-This car! This car! -Vineeth sir!

Vineeth sir!

This car, Vineethettaa!

Parallel! Pull the car alongside!

-Ozin, step on it! -Vineethetta, Vineethetta...

Sir!

-That’s not it, you idiot! -See.

Fans have surrounded us. Drive faster!

-Hey... hey... -Hey, mister, look here!

-You... kid... nap! -Enough your dumb charades!

Kids are sleeping. They are in Chennai! Chennai!

Ozin, cut across and block him!

Move forward! Move forward!

You... are... kidnapped!

-You kidnapped! -Read it, man! It's in English!

Idiot, can't you read?!

Go past the car.

Vineethetta... hey...

So...

where’s our stay arranged?

At Govinda Tourist Home, nearby.

What the...!

It's air-conditioned!

Wrong car! Wrong car!

Call the police! Call the police!

-Hello? -Hello.

Police station?

This is actor-director Vineeth Sreenivasan.

Yes, sir?

Hello, sir?

Sir, I can hear you.

Sir, are you the SI?

Yes.

What’s your name, sir?

Manichan.

Sir, you’re a top-class SI.

I just called to introduce myself.

Sir, you’re an absolute pride of the Kerala Police Department.

Okay, okay.

What did you idiots think,

you could just kidnap us?

Forget him.

Do you even know who I am?

Kerala will literally burn!

Who the hell are you guys?

-Aaaarghhhhh! -Oh my God!!!

Hey. I’m Kuttan.

They call me Thotta Kuttan.

My last thotta explosion case happened

because they denied me papad at a wedding!

I burned down the entire kitchen!

Once I lose it, I don’t care if you’re a star or an astronaut,

I’ll smash you!

This is kidnapping!

An honest kidnapping!

Got it?!

Vineethetta, I’m Samkutty.

The convener of Arohan Fest.

Huh?! Shaan ikka!

Hey!

I’m charging in like a truck with no brakes!

Don’t stand in the road like a clueless puny frog.

You’ll be dead meat! Okay?!

Vineethetta...

Stop!

Stop the car, you!

-Hey Samkutty... -Sam...

Ozin... Ozin... hurry! Start the car!

Come on!

Brother...

Samkutty...

I’m coming to the college.

Will reach by evening.

Sir, look at this.

-Directing, singing, all of it, right? -Yes.

On the occasion of the Mamalassery Kavu Thrikkodiyettu Festival,

I’ll be performing live tonight

at 8 PM at the musical concert.

And I’ll be there too.

Some AI thing maybe...

-Hey Saji. -Yes, sir.

Probably an AI video, sir.

Hey, did Vineeth Sreenivasan direct 'Jacobinte Swargarajyam?'

Jacobinte Swargarajyam?

Yes sir.

If a guy like him calls just to introduce himself,

that’s a big deal, right?

Of course!

He’s a very busy man.

Why do you ask, sir?

Oh nothing.

Eh? These guys again?

Looks like they’ve come with some new pickle today.

-Sir... -Oh, it’s you?

Sir, Vineeth Sreenivasan’s been kidnapped!

What?!

WHAT?!

Sir, he was supposed to sing at our college.

That guy kidnapped him.

Which guy?

That singing goon... Kuttan!

How is that possible? Vineeth Sreenivasan just called me.

It’s true.

I confirmed with cyber cell.

But sir,

I heard Vineeth Sreenivasan is singing at Mamallassery Kavu today.

What the hell?! What about our Pro Show?!

There?!

Maybe you didn’t clear his payment.

Why else would he take another gig?

He’s not that kind of guy. I know!

Sir, please believe us, Vineeth Sreenivasan is really kidnapped!

That’s not possible.

I’ll just call Vineeth Sreenivasan.

Calling Vineeth Sreenivasan?

Hello?

Sir, I’m SI Manichan,

the one you called earlier to introduce yourself.

The "top-class SI."

Ah yes, yes.

Sir, are you okay?

I’m okay. I'm okay.

Sir, are you singing at Mamallassery Kavu tonight?

Ye... yes, yes!

So not performing at the college today?

No, not at the college.

Sir, you're not in any trouble, right?

N... no trouble! No trouble at all. I’m fine.

May I know where you are, sir, now?

Sir... I’m...

at a very personal place right now.

-Sorry sir, personal place? Okay, okay. -Sir... sir...

Sir, can we talk to him?

Hey, he’s with family at some personal place.

Would any kidnapped guy pick up on the first ring anyway?

You guys and your wild stories!

He clearly said he’s performing elsewhere. Go!

-Sir please, let us talk to him. -Go! Go!

-Can we just talk to him once? -He's alright.

-Sir, just once, please. -You saw sir's level of reach, right?

Get lost!

We already settled payment, right?

-We paid the money! -Let me call the manager.

Sir...

Maybe we should just look into it once.

Just casually.

Yeah, just make a neutral inquiry.

-Sir. -...calling up SI Manichan to the stage.

♪ O, Mother, my warm blanket ♪

♪ O, Mother, my warm blanket ♪

♪ A thousand nights ahead, wrapped in your warmth ♪

Unbelievable, right?

Did you figure out the raga?

Bhimpalasi.

Are you an absolute idiot, mister?

What the hell?

I have never seen such a bunch of blockheads in my life!

Mother blanket?! What the hell is it?!

Stop your damn bloody show!

You weren’t even in the plan.

You're just a bonus track.

Do you remember me?

Back in early Star Singer days,

I sang at the open selection in Mannamoola Karayogam Hall.

♪ Don’t sob in that sweet voice ♪

♪ Don’t let your eyes fill with tears ♪

In the next line...

♪ Even when silent pain fills the air... ♪

When I raised my hand to catch the pitch, what did you ask?

"Is a plane flying over your head?!"

Honestly, that day I almost threw a 'thotta' into your studio.

Planned it for two days!

Then I dropped it

You are an artist, after all! I let it go.

Hey... hey... hey!

There is a power called Bhagavathi, the Goddess!

That’s exactly why you circled around and landed right in my lap. Okay?

Tonight, I’m running a program here.

On that stage,

he will sing the song I just sang with me.

Here, lyrics of “Mother blanket."

And you will play the harmonium too.

On stage, live. In front of everyone.

After that, I will drop you both

at the railway station or bus stand wherever you want.

See? It's a good temple.

Even got five-star ratings on Google.

Mr. Kuttan...

I apologize for his lame joke.

No! Why you saying sorry?

It’s a good comedy!

See, Mr. Kuttan,

he charges ten lakhs for a show.

-That’s a bit steep. -Eh?!

But do you have that cash?

Hey hey, hey, where’s this going?

Calm down! Stay in your lane!

It’s an honor enough that you get to share a stage with me.

As for your half-day salary,

consider it an offering to the Goddess.

When you leave, I’ll give you four tins of prasadam.

That too only if you behave.

Oh my God!

So...

don’t even think you can croak two lines

and sneak off fooling the Goddess.

She's got a fierce temper.

Worse than him!

Fine, forget money.

But for a proper show, we need certain sound requirements.

-Shure Axient microphones. -Mic!

Quantum 338 console...

-In-ear monitors. -Sennheiser in-ear monitors!

Also, d&b PA system.

-Side fills! Side fills! -Yes, side fills!

None of that is here.

-We’ve got Muruga Sounds! -Of course!

We’re screwed!

Who’s that, son?

Actor Sreenivasan’s son.

The one who keeps giving interviews?

No, the elder one.

Oh!

Alright.

Forget all those.

Can we at least get a feedback?

Huh?

Opinion!

You’ll know our opinion once the program is over.

Not that!

Feedback is a kind of speaker.

We should hear ourselves sing, right?

Why?

So we can hear what we’re singing.

Why do you potato-heads need to hear yourselves?

That’s what the audience is for!

We can sing properly only if we hear it.

Can’t you look at the lyrics and sing?

You don’t even know what feedback is

and you call yourself a singer?

-So I’m only a singer if I know that? -Yes!

He’s scared.

Just stand firm like I did. He’ll back off.

Looks like he fainted.

Now say it. NOW!

Am I not a singer? Tell me!

Am I not a singer?

I’m sparing him only because of his father.

But don’t expect the same.

I’ll crack your skull open.

Okay, fine! Okay, fine!

Kuttan, Kuttan, Kuttan! Calm down, calm down!

It’s 11 now.

By 2, I’ll come anywhere

and sing as many songs as you want.

Okay?

Not okay.

At 2 it’s the food offering.

The music show is at 8.

-Eight won’t-- -That won’t change.

-Eight won’t work. -I have a college concert nearby.

BCET College, right? That event is cancelled.

Locals barged in and messed it up there.

Kuttan, you’re heading into a serious issue.

The moment you release me, the police will nab you.

Hey,

you guys have only seen the police in movies, right?

So,

I’ll get everything you asked for.

Kuttan...

Try any smart tricks

and skip the song I told you to sing.

Never!

Next time you’re on stage in Ernakulam...

-and a 'thotta' might drop. -Dad...

Tell me, dear.

Mom is calling.

Coming.

Remember that.

Screw his bloody feedback!

My Sreemoolam Club award...

Why did you call me?

What are you up to?

Don’t invite unnecessary trouble.

What trouble? There’s no trouble.

For God’s sake, send him back.

When that boy left, you could’ve just performed alone.

Why do all this?

You don’t wear the sacred thread anymore?

You!

Don’t get mad for no reason.

I didn’t drag him here. He came on his own.

That’s not true.

Simi chechi’s daughter studies there.

She said Vineeth’s program will be at the college.

Don’t you understand the weight of this?

If you don’t fix this right now,

I swear I’ll call the police.

Girl...

I’d already tied the sacred thread

everything was set to start a music troupe after this show.

We even named it Heavenly Voice.

That poor Vadi even went to learn tabla for it.

Then those guys showed up and wrecked my whole show.

-They even broke your 'cuticura-ed' leg! -Pedicured!

Yeah, that.

I’m not letting their event happen that easily!

Let the police come,

or you call them if you want.

But only after this program.

I’m no Kamal Haasan from Anbe Sivam to just forgive and forget.

Right here in my chest, a thotta bomb is burning.

Only his song can put it out.

Dear, there will be my show today.

With Vineeth Sreenivasan.

Vadi...

Damn, that manager's not picking up!

Bro, you've got two choices.

Either tell them the truth and make them understand.

But by then, it'll be night.

Or, you deal with them pretending the event is in full swing.

Either way, it's your call.

Dude, where is Vineethettan?

Hasn't Vineethettan come?

Vineethettan is at the hotel. He'll be here soon.

Samkutty, I tried calling him. He didn't answer. What happened?

Probably he's taking a bath.

How will he answer while bathing? He's bathing, no?

But he said he'd come straight here for sound check.

Sound, right? Sound...

He checked his sound at home itself.

So no need to check it again!

We've heard his sound.

The exact same sound we hear in the movies. Such a sweet voice!

It's a nice sound.

Really!

Swathi, you're not stressed, right?

Huh? Why would I be stressed?

Ah, exactly!

That's the spirit.

Nobody should be tense. Why tension?

Tell everyone to chill.

We've only got one life, right? One life!

Mime.

And, Samkutty...

Could you check this once before we finalize it?

-Which fest was it again? -Arohan!

-So you'll deal with the rest, right? -Of course!

Okay!

Yeah!

-What's wrong with him? -We didn't miss it.

-Bro! -Who's that?

Bro, we're from Pondicherry Engineering College.

We came all the way here just for Vineethettan's show.

Is that so? Fantastic, fantastic!

Who are all these guys?

These are all my brothers.

This guy had his bride-seeing ceremony today.

He even cancelled that and came here

just for Vineethettan's performance!

Correct! Correct! True fans!

We're hardcore Vineethettan fans.

We're leaving only after his show.

Show?!

Muah! Bye!

You scared me!

Come on, brothers!

What's going on?!

Take these guys somewhere and make them sleep.

They've travelled far. Must be exhausted.

Next up, another special song

from yet another secret admirer!

Despite many professional participants,

He'll receive a cash prize of 80,000 rupees

sponsored by the South Indian Bank.

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

-Look at this! -Show me?

I'm the winner, right? Let me say a few words.

My dear...

students,

teachers, and other respected folks.

My name is Kuttan.

I am the organizer of the Thrikkodiyettu Mahotsavam festival

at nearby Mamalassery Temple.

I'm sure all of you know about the festival there.

As part of the festival, we've arranged a small cultural event.

I came here personally to invite all of you.

This is my second visit here.

Don't know why,

but I feel some weird...

soul connection with this college.

So today evening, sharp at 8 PM...

at the temple grounds,

a mega musical night... led by Vineeth Sreenivasan.

Vineethettan?!

♪ Mic check! ♪

'LIVE MEGA MUSICAL GALA'

♪ Mic check! ♪

♪ Mic check! ♪

See now? See?

Along with him, this humble artist will also be there.

Awesome! Awesome!

But everyone can attend the event, okay? No passes needed.

Music isn’t something you can just purchase with money.

We’ve even got feedback speakers!

Come, let's go! Didn't I tell you?

Also, we had a small budget crisis…

Huge thanks to BCET College for stepping in and covering it.

Hey little brother, thanks a lot.

So, with music flowing through everyone's veins...

Dude, I called the hotel. Checked it.

Vineeth Sreenivasan hasn’t even reached there.

-What?! -These guys are total frauds.

Come on.

Thank you. Thank you.

O, Mother Goddess.

♪ Broski, mic check! ♪

♪ Grandpa, mic check! ♪

Next up, Sreekuttan Vellayani dedicates a song to all BCET students.

Hello, sir.

There’s some truth to what the students said.

That Kuttan is planning something.

Where are you now?

I'm at the college, sir.

Hello? Hey Vivi.

Yeah.

Dude, this Samkutty has totally messed up the whole event.

Vineeth Sreenivasan isn't gonna sing here.

We must beat him to a pulp.

Finish him off, man.

He shouldn’t even dare lift his head again.

Let's just beat the shit out of him.

Stupid sperm boy!

-Hello?-No! No! No!

Dude, don't break things out of anger, okay?

Hello? Hello? Control, man!

This guy is unbelievable!

We need to convince the police somehow.

We can do all that, but what about the situation here?

Hey Samkutty...

Trying to scam everyone and make money, huh?

Where the hell is Vineeth Sreenivasan?

Where's the money?

Students from other colleges are watching. Don't mess it up.

As if it's not messed up already!

Hey Samkutty, no matter where you hid the money,

we will find it. You hear me?!

Such a blatant scam, man!

Move!

-Your show-off convener act is over. -What’s left to see? Event’s done!

You could have at least told us.

Bro...

-Sorry. -No, bro. It's fine.

Let's go.

Dude...

Come here.

Samkutty...

Has Vineethettan freshened up yet?

You are quite a character, Samkutty.

I admit.

I thought we were a team!

Aren't we?

Yes.

I trusted you and got my Papa involved, and now...

What am I even supposed to tell him, Sam?

I expected at least

basic honesty and commitment from you.

Didn’t I tell you this isn’t some joke?

What are you trying to prove, by taking up all this pressure?

It's... it's not heroic.

It's foolish.

Swathi, I...

You've just made yourself a joker.

And all of us here, too.

Where are you going? Huh?

There's no event or anything. Go back!

What’s the issue? Isn’t Vineethettan coming?

Say something! We’ve been waiting forever!

Aren't you going to show us Vineethettan?!

Uncle, do you have Bansal's Fluid Mechanics notes?

Yeah, coming.

-Which module? -Second.

I’ve GPayed it.

Did you come for the fest?

Yeah.

Are you doing well?

Still seeing the doctor?

Yes, yes.

Good, don’t skip it.

Everything will be fine.

None of this is anyone’s fault, right?

A lot of people have been asking

what our Arohan fest logo actually means.

That logo was designed by Joseph, the former convener of Arohan.

So we’ve dug up an old audio byte of his.

Let’s hear what he had to say.

We explored a bunch of logos for Arohan fest.

Finally, we locked this theme.

No rocket science here,

it’s as simple as it looks.

It’s basically the story of a bird.

A bird that always wanted to fly.

But it just sat there safely, right on a branch.

Shall we go home?

No, the fest is happening, right?

And Samkutty is the convener.

Shouldn't we go there?

I'm not coming.

I heard he scammed money from students

promising to bring Vineeth Sreenivasan.

While sitting on that branch,

that branch had to break one day,

for the bird to fly.

Its first flight!

AROHAN!

You know better than me that Samkutty would never scam anyone.

I didn't mean it...

You're still worried.

You’re worried you didn’t raise us right.

The surname ‘Oommen’ we carry,

has always been part of our identity too, Dad.

So there’s no point staying safe forever.

This is the theme of Arohan.

I know it sounds quite a cliché motivation!

But my favorite part in this is that broken branch.

The branch that was supposed to support the bird

falls to the ground in a moment.

And about Samkutty.

He’s way smarter than me, Dad.

Later, people might have trampled over it.

It might have shattered.

But when that bird returns after flying the world...

that same branch might still help it build a nest.

Nothing is ever really the end.

No matter how hard we fall, or who steps over us...

we move forward anyway, that's what I have to say.

Okay?

Like Sabu chettan says.

He's quite proud of himself.

He'll run this event exceptionally.

Oh no, the fest is still on. It's just rumors. I can...

Swathi...

I will call you back.

I’m sorry I lied earlier.

But I never had even 1% dishonesty

about this event.

I never treated it like a joke. either.

Unlike you said earlier, it’s not about proving anything to anyone.

All this struggle is just to bring a smile to someone’s face.

You know that.

Also, there's one more thing I have hidden from you.

I still like you a lot.

I often feel that you are way out of my league.

That's why I didn't approach you again.

I’m saying this now, without expecting an answer.

I just found the courage now.

And, you won't get beaten up because of me.

The fest will happen no matter what.

♪ O, Mother, my warm blanket ♪

One minute.

Hello?

Hello, is this Kuttan?

Yeah, tell me.

Bro, it's me Samkutty. From BCET college.

We met earlier.

Ah, the frog boy!

How are you? All good?

Also, you might feel a slight unease in your chest.

Don't worry about it.

That's fine, brother.

And you know very well that

what you pulled off was a third-rate stunt, right?

I had to beg at a lot of people's feet to get sanction for this fest.

So, if I've decided to run this event,

I don't care if you're Thotta Kuttan,

or even the Almighty Thor himself…

I will bring Vineeth Sreenivasan here and run this event.

Little brother,

don't you list your struggles to me.

You can’t match me.

It was my debut performance dedicated to my mother, daughter, and wife,

and you guys ruined it.

Also,

I’m not doing any ‘once I was a badass’ villain speech

like in old mass hero films.

No time or interest for that.

You’ll probably paint me as the villain.

But my dear,

this is the era where villains steal all the applause.

But the movie isn't over yet, bro.

Then you start, kiddo.

I’ll finish it.

Yeah, go on. Finish it. And let me know.

Dude, what's your actual plan?

Anyway, who exactly is this Almighty Thor?

Thor?

Whoever it is, let him come. We’ll see.

Kuttan! SI Manichan is coming.

They've crossed the junction.

Make a call to this number.

Bismi Hotel.

Where are you going, Kuttan?

What happened, sir?

Where is Vineeth Sreenivasan? I need to see him.

Can't reach him on call. Huh?

He's not here.

Well, nothing much. Just need to see him. That's all.

We’ll leave after that.

Sir, he's... he's just on his way.

Sir, let me go check inside.

Sir, practice is going on inside.

He hasn’t arrived.

Let him check.

Sir, he went to Bismi Hotel for mutton.

If it’s him, that sounds true, sir.

See? I was about to pick him from there.

-At Bismi, right? -Yeah.

Bismi Hotel? This is the Nemom SI.

Yes sir, tell me.

Has Vineeth Sreenivasan come there?

He called a while ago to reserve a table

-Okay. Thank you.-Okay, sir.

Hey, Saji. Come back.

Didn't I tell you earlier, sir?

I'll go and bring him.

Kuttan... are you going in this?

Come. Let's go in our vehicle and pick him.

No worries, sir. This will do.

No, he knows me.

Wonder when we'll reach Bismi!

I told them to bring singer Pradeep Kumar...

Vineethettan is here!

Vineethettan is here! See!

How's it now?

Hey, is that really Vineeth?!

-Move, move! -Cover him!

Step aside, step aside!

Make way!

Is it Vineeth?

Vineeth? Really?!

Parashu, where's Vineethettan?

-We want to see Vineethettan. -He just had biryani and is sleeping.

Something fishy here.

Fishy? Nothing fishy here!

-Move aside, let us see him. -No outsiders allowed.

-Swathi, don't go in! -Move!

-Move, Parashu! -This is his personal space!

Vineeth sir?

Yes?

-Eh?! -Act like we have no clue.

Who is this guy?

What is this?

This is Varkala Sudheesh.

Same voice, same look as Vineethettan.

Yeah.

Till the original arrives,

he'll be Vineethettan for a while.

Parashu, I can't be a part of this nonsense.

How do you think we will deal with this?

Swathi, relax. No problem. Samkutty has assured us.

We're just using him to manage the crowd.

They'll be here soon. Half an hour.

Oh no!

Parashu... this... this is too much!

Just watch.

-Bro, come here. -Okay, okay.

-Make way. -Hey, come.

Let me handle them.

-BCET! -Here, Vineethettan!

Yay! Yay!

Okay, enough, enough.

-Come back after half an hour -All of you disperse.

Yay!

Will I have to get on stage and sing now?

-Eh?! -I sing really well.

-Sing? -No, no need.

See? I told you he’d handle it.

Parashu, are you trying to give me a stroke?

-What if the Principal finds out? -Relax, that won’t happen.

-No time to waste. -Swathi!

Nothing’s gonna go wrong.

Trust me.

Samkutty will handle this.

Bro, the show’s actually happening?

Relax. Vineethettan is here.

The program’s fully on.

Yeah, the show’s happening.

It’s about to start.

Why are you standing there? Please come in.

-We just got here. -Please, come in, madam.

Come on in.

Bro, I did everything exactly like you said.

The plan’s working.

Please bring him here on time.

I know many of you are

eagerly waiting for the Vineeth Sreenivasan ProShow!

And it’s definitely going to be worth the wait!

Now, I invite our chief guest and others

to light the lamp for the closing ceremony.

How’s Samkutty gonna bring Vineethettan back from them?

Anagha, I think

he’ll somehow handle this crisis.

Sam, there are only like five or six houses here.

He must be in one of them.

Could this go wrong?

Nah, bro.

Bosco, everything set there?

All set, bro.

-Guys... -Yes?

Drones!

♪ Grandpa, mic check! ♪

♪ Broski, mic check! ♪

Hey, will anybody see us?

Fix it fast.

If anyone sees, we’re screwed!

Fix it before those dumb-heads reach here.

Which building’s that with the lights on?

Looks like some UP school.

Maybe the kids are studying.

Who the hell runs a class at midnight?!

True that.

Iyappan, drones back. Drones back.

Copy that.

Hey! Look! Shaan Rahman! Shaan Rahman!

-I can see a panicked Shaan ikka's head! -Hey Bosco, line cut, line cut.

Okay.

No time, bro. Tell me.

Wait a minute, I’ll call you back.

-What happened? -The power’s out.

-There’s power over there. -Why did it go off?

-No idea. -Who knows! -Maybe it tripped.

Did the generator shut down?

-Looks like it. -Come on.

Tell those guys to come here.

Swathi, if this keeps up, we’re doomed.

We gotta stretch the program 10–20 mins somehow.

Wait.

Got an idea.

Last but not the least.

For the vote of thanks, Ku...

Not Kumar sir. Jayaraj sir.

-Won’t that be an issue? -Nope, just say it.

For the vote of thanks, I invite Jayaraj sir.

Hey Kuttan, since when did you start talking philosophy?

Man, Vineethettan is changing! Just wait a bit.

-He's taking forever!-Just relax!

Is he draping a saree?

Just ten minutes.

What the heck!

They said Vineethettan would come. Where is he?

Look at this pic.

You guys ready to perform or what?

Huh?! That...

Guys, once Vineethettan’s show ends, everyone will leave.

Better perform now.

Okay.

Hey, what the heck is this?

F R I... Fry!

What if it’s a bomb or something?

Shut up, you!

It’s the mortar blast.

Red wire or blue wire? Which one should I pull?

Pull the blue one.

-That’s how it usually is. -We placed one at your house too.

Messing with BCET students, huh?!

Catch him!

Stop right there!

Who’s that? What’s happening?

Grab him!

Samkutty, run! Go, go!

Hey, hey!

Sir!

Sir, my phone’s ringing. Can I answer it?

Might be something urgent.

It's police's job to handle the urgent matters.

Of course. Pick up, Saji.

Bro, a bunch of students have stormed in here

to snatch Vineeth Sreenivasan!

Sir...

You!

What did the system ever do to you?

Trying to fool the cops?

Sir,

I’ve always respected the police.

So?

I am literally hanging onto my life here.

I have no other choice.

Please forgive me.

Okay!

Here we go!

Hello! Hello!

Greetings!

I’m Samkutty.

Convener of the Arohan Fest at BCET College nearby.

Tonight, sharp at 8 PM,

we’re hosting Vineeth Sreenivasan’s ProShow.

This isn’t some thug-run goon show.

Anyone with a proper pass can attend.

And for those without a pass…

I’ll blast a 2000-watt speaker this way.

Even the clueless puny frog in the middle of the road has an ego!

Pass it on to your boss.

Hey!

Anyway, happy Thirukkodiyeettu!

Hey, wait a sec!

Dennichan here, struggling with EMIs for this modified car

I’ve got an ego too!

-HEY! -Enough man, start the car!

Go! Go! Go!

Stop there! Stop!

Damn!

Sam, that stunt of yours, spinning the speaker away…

Man, that was epic! Total mass!

Thanks, bro.

That’s 500 bucks.

Dennichan…

That was mine.

Okay, fine. 450. Deal.

-Hey... -Tell me, chetta. -Is this a set-off or what?

Bro, this is a BMW. Yellow colour!

I’m asking if it’s got a set-off gearbox.

Bro, it’s fully automatic.

Just press the pedal… and boom, drrr!

He doesn't know.

He doesn't know!

That part’s over there.

Drive straight to the airport, my dear.

Vineethettan, what about our event?

Your event? My whole system’s fried!

-Bro… -No, forget airport!

Drive straight to the police station.

Please don’t say that.

Don’t force me. Shan, explain it to him.

Get it, boy. Understand.

Vineethettan…

Please don’t say that.

Our magazine launch, the ProShow…

Go deeper, man.

Just think about it.

Even in Malarvaadi Arts Club,

Nivin Pauly was stuck when the show failed to happen.

Sports?!

You’d get the pain, bro.

If this program fails…

all the students will gang up on me.

Will you make him cry now?

Please don’t ditch me.

If needed, I’ll pay you extra two lakhs.

Huh?!

Two and a half!

How much for me?

-One. -No deal.

-One and a half. -Fixed.

Okay.

-Set! -Let's fix it.

In that case, Shaan ikka, surprise for you.

You get to drive this beast after the show.

Press whatever button you mentioned.

That Z thing… yeah, that one.

That's more like a deal!

Anyway, this is a life experience, after all!

You could use it in your next movie.

What happened?

-What? -Wait, the brakes actually work?!

Allah, the Goddess is seriously furious!

What’s up with this now?

-What happened? -Oh… that’s it?

We ran out of petrol.

But how?

How much did you fill?

230 bucks.

Awesome!

You filled 230 rupees of petrol and came for a car chase, you loser?!

If you used half the brain you used to rock that raincoat, we'd be fine!

Sam, don’t talk nonsense.

Don’t you know what all I, Dennichan, did for you?

Flapped wings, swung the car, even took a hit for you!

Bro, I…

I don’t even play songs because I don’t know the switch!

-No! -And I did all that for you!

This car runs on economy mode, man!

Economy!

Dennichan…

-Vadi… -Bro…

They took Vineeth Sreenivasan!

Those guys swooped in and snatched him.

-Vadi… -They tricked us, bro.

-Don’t spare a single one. -Never, bro.

-Get all our guys out. -Yes, bro.

Those punks must pay today.

We’ll finish them, bro.

-There’s a task for you. -Tell me.

-Make way, man! -At BCET College nearby.

Call everyone and bring them. -Okay.

Hey, work at BCET College. Come.

Sudhi, come.

Hey, what? BCET College?

Isn’t this the place?

BCET…

I’ll just go and come.

Where are you going?

Shaan ikka needs petrol, right?

After the show… drrr…

Bro, are you bailing on me?

Ditch you?

Count 1 to 100, bro.

If I, Dennichan, don’t come back, count back 100 to 1.

And if I still don’t show up…

Congrats. You got played.

Bro, just drop the stuff in the car at college.

Yeah, sure, sure.

Vineethettan...

See that light?

That’s our college.

From here, about half a...

No, almost 400 meters.

If we start running slowly...

What did you say?

Run?

Shan ikka, please...

No can do!

No! No! No!

How many meters left?

Almost there. That light is our college. Just 400 meters more.

Allah, still 400 meters?!

Ask them! Where’s Vineethettan?

Swathi...

Samkutty, where are you?

I’ll be there in 5 minutes.

Come quick. It’s chaos here.

Okay, okay!

And...

Sorry.

-I said all that in anger earlier. -Thank you. Next up, an elephant...

I know about your family, right?

Actually, sorry.

No worries, Swathi. Don’t bother.

But that last thing I said... you 'can' bother about it.

Come quick.

Okay okay, fine, here I am.

Okay.

Was that your lover?

Not yet.

Are you conducting this fest for your love?

No, for my family.

Ah, perfect. Both are my favourites!

Come quick, my dear.

Hurry, hurry.

Crying for a Mandi...

Get lost, man!

Vineethettan, we’re here.

-That’s our college. -I see.

Parashu, bro.

Where now?

South gate.

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Do you see any goons there?

Man, we all are starving here!

Yeah, clash bro and his gang.

Small problem though.

They’re from Kuttan's mother gang.

They follow bro code.

You do one thing, take the MH route.

Okay.

Vineethettan, this route.

Why?

For a quick touch-up before show?

-Yeah, I look very dull. -Correct, correct.

Come.

Where’s Vineethettan?

Five minutes, he’s coming.

We’ve been waiting forever.

We’ve got another program.

Five minutes! He’s getting ready.

Vineethettan...

This is 'touch', and this is 'up'.

You call this a damn touch-up?!

I’m off!

Shaan ikka...

Magazine release, ProShow… remember Malarvadi Arts Club--

Oh no! I’ll jump the wall! Don’t start your sob story again.

We are in a bad situation.

We've no other choice.

I just need to get out

don’t dump your rotten emotions on me.

Cracked floor tiles bothering you?

Throw it, man!

Ramesh Marbles!

Ramesh Marbles, Vattiyoorkavu, Trivandrum.

What will we do now?

Anyway, we used the figure...

Shall we use the sound too?

Okay, dear.

Lower reverb by two,

increase treble by two.

Hey. Keep quiet.

Guys, keep calm. I’ll join you soon.

But you’re not from this hostel.

Hey, hey!

Food and accommodation are in our package!

They told us to come to this hostel. I need to take my BP medicine.

Their plan is for Vineeth to pop up from under the stage.

You wait and watch, only his corpse is going pop up!

No need for all that. One little threat and Vineeth Sreenivasan will run.

That’s all it takes

Whatever, we need to mess up his event.

I can’t take this anymore!

HEY!

Who do you think you are?

My name is Vineeth Sreenivasan.

-That’s Varkala Sudheesh, the body double. -Body double?!

Varkala Sudheesh:Relax, guys, I’ll be there soon!

Hey, that’s not Vineeth Sreenivasan!

That’s a dummy! Just a dummy!

-Sure? -Damn sure!

Shall we go beat them up?

No, no.

Don’t care if he’s an artist or any crap.

Shaan ikka.

Sorry.

And thank you.

It's okay.

E... Everyone really wanted...

this fest to happen.

I just… wanted it a little more.

And

I hope I did it justice.

Thank you.

He's not the punk I thought he was.

-Here. Receive it. -Thank you. Thank you.

We did it!

Didn't I tell you that you wouldn't get beaten up?

Whatever!

Samkutty!

What is it, brother?

That girl… she’s totally into you.

How do you know?

Can't you just read it in her eyes?

Read in her eyes?!

You can easily tell by looking at the eyes.

I'm the only one in Kerala who can do that!

Clap well and encourage him, okay?

-Sir, it's me. Kuttan. -Hi Kuttan.

Kuttan, no need to call and seek blessings all the time.

I blessed you once, didn't I?

Well, the committee members are constantly nagging me.

And? Did you untie the sacred thread?

No... just thinking if I should untie it.

Kuttan... your control lies in your music, not in that sacred thread.

Sir, where are you now? Chennai?

Huh? Chennai?

Nope. Not Chennai. That place is too hot, man!

Looks like network’s gone.

-He will call back. -Yeah, he will.
