The shores of desire stretch endlessly

Yet the thirst within me lingers

The shores of desire stretch endlessly

Yet the thirst within me lingers

You, a playful twilight Somewhere beyond me

While I drift, aching for your embrace

You, a playful twilight Somewhere beyond me

While I drift, aching for your embrace

This bedroom has become my prison

O Lord, pass Your judgement

Strike after strike, in every guise

Still, I offer my head again

There?

Or here?

Is it danger?

Tell me where?

These nights steeped in desire

Dreams that spill over, wild in bloom

Let young vines curl around us

Fresh with the first blush of spring

O sweet delirium

My sweet, intoxicating desire

The shores of desire stretch endlessly

Yet the thirst within me lingers

The shores of desire stretch endlessly

Yet the thirst within me lingers

You, a playful twilight Somewhere beyond me

While I drift, aching for your embrace

Aching for your embrace

Are you nervous?

I'm a bit nervous.

It's my first time, after all.

My mom's a true believer.

That's why she left overnight to see Muthappan…

to thank Him for finding me a bride.

You're not a believer, Kuttan?

Nah.

I believed in myself more than Muthappan.

I always knew it.

- What? - No matter how long it took…

I'd find a Sharmila for sure.

You're so fair…

Even a touch might make you bleed.

Can I touch you?

Kuttan!

Kuttan!

Nonsense!

What a terrible nightmare to have on my wedding day!

A fly…

KUTTAN CALLING

Hello.

Hello.

Just woke up?

Nah, I've been up for a while.

- I was working out. - Wow.

See? Dumbbells and all.

I'm getting my makeup done.

- This early? - Yeah. It's almost 8 already.

Oh, no!

Honestly, you don't even need makeup. You look gorgeous anyway.

Can I ask you something?

Don't get me wrong.

Am I good enough for you?

- Why would you ask that? - Well…

When people see us together… they might be jealous of me.

Really?

What if they're jealous of me instead?

- Really? - Yes.

Alright, then.

See you at our wedding.

Happy married life!

Same to you.

Is this rain going to ruin everything?

SURA HIT JOB CALLING

- Hello. - Kuttan!

- Happy married life! - Thank you!

Don't spend the whole night cuddling your wife after the wedding.

You know, I've waited six years for this chance.

I've got to settle scores with those idiots back in my hometown.

You'll be there on time tomorrow, right?

So that's why you wanted to make me happy so early?

My dear Kuttan, if you're late, the whole plan will flop.

You know, right? If this flops, I'm a dead man.

If I take on a job I'll get it done for sure.

Now hang up. Let me get married first,

then we'll deal with the rest.

Hey, Kuttan, that's not--

Bloody fly!

- Why the hell is he here?! - Oh, damn!

Where the hell are you looking?!

- I just finished my bath! - Sorry, Uncle! I didn't notice you!

Of course you didn't! Get wasted and sleep till the sun hits your butt…

you won't see a thing!

- A fly fell into my tea. Sorry. - Damn your fly!

Don't get me started!

Good Lord! Now I have to bathe again!

Who even invited this loser to the wedding? Damn it!

Meteorologists say a rare 'Dhoomakethu', a comet,

seen only once every 3000 years,

will pass close to Earth tonight

and appear green in the sky.

Sir, what's your take on this phenomenon?

It's expected to pass between 6 p.m.

and around 3:30 a.m.

Scientists also warn of possible major electrical discharges.

Satellite communication systems could be affected.

It would be wise to limit the use of electronic devices tonight.

This is a once-in-3000-years event.

So let people watch it and enjoy the moment.

A comet?!

Muthappan, my lord,

why must the world end on my grandson's wedding day?

Look at her! The old lady wants the world to end before she does!

Shut up, you rebel!

Like father, like bloody son!

- Guess that proves I'm his son. - Happy married life, Kuttan!

Very good! He deserves it.

Get lost, you!

Shouldn't have said that.

Hey! Hey!

I'll scrub those lips on the floor!

- Give that to me. - Hey!

Didn't you come here to help in the kitchen?

- Then go check if the rice is cooked. - What's the big deal?

- It's just a cigarette, not weed! - Bloody cigarette!

- Babloo bhai. - Yes.

Once you're done,

pull a tarp over the shed and tie it down.

Okay, Kuttan bhai.

Eh? Bhai?

Kuttan…

Just ten minutes. I'll move it now.

Thought I'd get the car blessed at church before taking it home.

But you said you wouldn't get the car before the wedding.

That's what I thought too.

Then someone suddenly cancelled their booking, so I got lucky.

You're such a petty man.

Unbelievable.

Waiting for a bride has driven Kuttan bhai completely nuts!

Why are you giggling, you creep?

Is anyone standing here naked?

I know exactly why you're giggling.

- Just do your job! - The groom's finally awake?

Good Lord! You're still not ready?

Is it your wedding or mine?

Stop standing around like a zombie. Wash up and get ready!

I will, Mom. Please make me some black tea.

- A fly fell into the other one. - Well, you should've woken up earlier.

There's no time now.

I've got to get ready too. I'm the groom's mother, remember!

He's lucky it's his wedding day.

That rascal crushed my ten bucks just like that!

I'll get my hands on him.

How the hell did a guy like him end up with a chick like that?

She's like a ripe peach.

Umesh.

Stop talking crap and do your job.

Something's definitely off with that girl.

Otherwise, why would she walk straight into this trap?

What's wrong with him?

- He's well built. - Not just well built.

He's seen a few birthdays too!

Looks like that worked in his favour.

He sure hit the jackpot.

Hey, don't spit into the sambar!

Oh, no!

- Huh? What happened? - Go check!

- I'll check. - Who is it?

Move! Move!

Babloo bhai…

Babloo bhai!

- Kuttan bhai. - Is he alright?

Babloo bhai fell from the tree!

- Nothing but bad omens today, Latha. - Will you shut up?

Stop staring and get him to a hospital!

What are you all waiting for? Get a car and take him!

Anti…

Anti…

Jesus, are we screwed?

- Kuttan, what happened? - Babloo bhai fell from the tree.

Get a car and take him to the hospital.

You'll be fine, Babloo Bhai.

You only broke your leg.

A brand new car!

Get him in quickly.

Oh no… What if he gets blood all over my car?

If that guy dies, we'll be in trouble, Latha.

He climbed the tree himself, didn't he?

Yeah, but the tree's in our yard!

Open the door.

Why's everyone coming?

Just two people are enough. Don't get my car dirty, please.

- Start the car! - Get going! Step on it!

- It's a brand-new car. I'm not speeding. - Good thing I got here in time.

Damn it! I walk in and there's blood.

Kuttan, come here.

You don't look okay. What's wrong?

My head's pounding.

Hungover from the drinks?

Missed your medicine?

No, it's not that. Just a different kind of headache.

Must be the wedding jitters.

Where's the other guy?

Hey, Da Vinci!

- This is the guy I told you about. - Yes, dude.

- Come here. - Coming.

No matter how I look at him, I just can't figure out a look for him.

You can do it.

Honestly, bro…

You're giving off total doofus vibes.

He's a smartie. A Kochi dude.

You know how they are.

Take another good look, bro. You'll crack it.

Move in a little closer. He won't bite.

Got it!

How about a local badass look?

Badass? Why?

I'm the groom. I'm not off to a street fight.

- Exactly. - Is that so?

SURA HIT JOB CALLING

Do whatever works for you, bro.

When the bride and groom stand together,

- …all eyes should be on the groom. - Okay.

Our diamond shouldn't be outshone by her 24-carat glow.

Overall, he needs a proper mass look. Got it?

Got it. Not just mass. I'll give him a mass killer new look! Cool?

Have fun, you guys. I'll go check on the food.

Wow! Great job!

Mumm…

Are you off to kill the poor girl, Kuttan?

No… I'm marrying her.

Why not add a mole and complete the goonda look?

What's wrong?

This killer makeover didn't work for you guys?

It totally works.

- No… - It's gotta be flashy.

- That's the trend now, Mummy. - Oh!

Doesn't work? We'll change the look. We've got time.

It didn't work. Let's change it.

What were you doing all this time?

The bride has arrived. Just leave already.

- But Mom… - Come here, you!

- Don't pinch me. - We're late. Let's get going.

Yikes!

Just got here?

Maybe she picked him just to ward off the evil eye.

Otherwise, something's off with her.

I think he heard us. Yeah, he did. Just smile at him.

- He'll think we praised him. - Kuttan…

- Looking handsome. - Yeah, yeah.

- All the best! - It's time. Come on.

Looking good, right?

O beautiful girl, embodiment of love

Like a gorgeous celestial enchantress

I shall wait for you, longing

For as long as I draw breath

Come light the darkness in my heart

My cuckoo in silken drapes

Come and cross my threshold With your right foot

May this life we begin Be blessed with auspicious grace

Blessings upon this sacred union

May joy be ours And our hearts forever one

Blessings upon a love made divine

In my world of lamps Aglow beneath the moon

Come, make it your world too

How beautiful life will be With you forever by my side

Badass look, huh?

Nah, just tried to look like the groom.

Went a bit overboard.

The moustache!

- Oh, no! It's still up! - It's the muhoortham, the auspicious hour.

Yes, yes.

Just wait! I'll get you, you scoundrel!

Dear God…

Hold the wedding chain.

- Mom… - Aren't you happy now?

- Mother! - Oh God, what was that?

An earthquake on my wedding day?!

Oh no… my dear…

- Honey, what happened? - Oh God, what happened?

God, another bad omen, Latha!

Oh, no! Rappayi Uncle!

- Uncle, what happened? - Wake up, honey!

- Open your eyes! - Honey!

Won't you have the feast?

- Don't spoil it. Open your eyes! - Please wake up, honey!

I think he's gone…

My husband…

Finished.

Really?!

Looks like the wedding's off, Latha.

- Shut it, Jala! - It's not my fault.

Great! A funeral puja for me!

What do we do, Mom?

- Oh, poor soul. - Do something.

Let me get married first, man!

Please, honey… Open your eyes!

What a tragedy! He was such a good man.

Honey…

Mister Petty!

- Stop! Stop! - What now?

Get him in, get him in.

Turn the car around, Monayi!

Rappayi Uncle is gone!

Why my car?! Just call an ambulance!

The ambulance will take time. He'll miss the muhoortham.

The wedding's at risk and he's already holding the chain!

Don't joke around!

Don't worry, Aunty. He'll take care of everything.

Get going!

They'll handle it. Let the wedding begin.

- Start the music before someone else dies! - Jala!

Give me those flowers.

- Hurry up! - Shall I, Mom?

Yes.

No! Go around like this!

Thank you, God, everything went well.

Why is he staring at me?

Never seen a wedding before?

Creep!

Where'd he go?

If you don't want that curry, give it to me.

It's my favourite.

Okay.

Serve Sambar here!

If you need anything, ask the servers.

Why take it from her?

This is what happens when you marry late.

No manners!

He's just a walking moustache.

- What's he blabbering? - This avial is way too salty!

Who hired these cooks?

I told you a thousand times,

don't hire cheap caterers.

- Anyway, he never listens to me. - Who's that?

- Uncle… - My brother.

- Eat up, dear. - Bloody brother!

Where the hell are the servers? Can I get a pappad?

Do you have to go today, Mom?

It's not like Muthappan's going anywhere.

You clearly don't know the power of Muthappan.

Do you know how many vows Jala and I made just so you'd find a wife?

It took Muthappan to finally find you a bride.

If it wasn't your wedding night,

I'd have dragged you along.

My wedding night isn't with Muthappan!

Faithless fool!

Quit talking nonsense!

What faith?

Pretty sure your brother made one hell of a vow

just to ruin my wedding night!

Don't talk like that…

You have no idea how much he loves you.

Enough talk. Hurry up!

The poor girl's all alone at home.

My dear Muthappan! Are you trying to kill me?

- So, do you like our town? - Yes.

It's quite chilly here.

It's the salty breeze from the river.

Don't stay out too long. You'll turn dark.

So what if I do?

I like being dark.

Is that why you married Kuttan?

Also…

Did you know everything about Kuttan before saying yes?

Hey! Why are you telling the poor bride all this?

There's not much to tell anyway.

But seriously, do you know why Kuttan stayed unmarried

all these years?

Why?

Listen…

Just don't tell Kuttan we told you.

Okay.

Oh, no! Come, come!

I just remembered…

My baby's lying in a puddle of pee.

I totally forgot. See you later!

Hurry! Let's go.

Oh, he's here!

Quick, let's go!

What's wrong? What happened?

We just saw her sitting all alone.

So we came over to meet her and have a chat.

But you still haven't told me…

why Kuttan couldn't find a girl.

Oh, really?

Spewing your venom on my wedding night?

Get outta here!

- All of you, scram! - Come on!

- Get lost! - Didn't think he'd be back so soon.

We barely got to tell her anything!

Poor things just came to gossip.

Then you had to show up, Kuttan.

- What happened? - Are you going to call me "Kuttan"?

Why? Don't you like it?

I love it.

I've waited forever for this wedding night.

Come with me.

Come…

Hope no one's here.

Move!

- Shall we begin? - Hell yeah! Go for it, my man!

One second.

Kuttan… you asleep?

No.

- Why? You coming too? - No thanks.

Just show up on time tomorrow.

I took leave and came all the way from Dubai for this.

Please don't screw me over.

I'll be there unless I'm dead. Now hang up!

- I've waited six years, Kuttan-- - Scoundrel!

Sorry about that.

A friend called to wish me.

Is this guy ever going to make a move?

Ever since I was a kid…

the first thing I think of when I hear "marriage"…

is the wedding night.

Me too!

Even though it took a long time,

I'm finally here.

So how do w…

How about a French?

Yes! Do it, my man, do it!

Did you hear something?

Oh, dear…

I didn't hear anything.

Really…

Must be my imagination.

How about a selfie?

For the memories.

What's wrong with it?

Look…

Oh!

The comet.

It travelled 3000 years through time just to witness our wedding!

Ugh! Boomer uncle!

Wanna see it?

The comet?

Mm-hmm.

Uh-oh… I'm busted!

- There it goes… Wait, what?! - Oh, no…

Who's there?

Just your friendly neighbourhood peeping Tom.

Sharmila, don't be scared.

You!

You're dead if I catch you, you pig!

- You've no idea who you're messing with! - Who was that?

What happened? Huh?

Nothing…

He got away.

Some horny creep…

…trying to make us go viral.

Look at that beautiful green glow.

Do you know how comets are formed?

Mm-hmm.

They say it's astronomical outgassing.

Whose?

How do you know all this?

I read it on WhatsApp.

Is that so?

I thought it was just the sun farting.

That's what my mom told me as a kid.

Classic Mom.

What a sight on our wedding night…

So lucky, right?

But I'm the lucky one here.

Even after marrying so late…

I ended up with such a knockout beauty.

You're so fair…

Even a touch might make you bleed.

I've heard this before…

The door…

Don't think you'll marry her and live in peace.

OH, NO!

Blood!

Another dream?

Hello?

- Hello… - Did you just wake up?

Yeah, just now.

Listen…

Quick question.

Don't take this the wrong way…

Did we get married yesterday?

What happened to you?

Drunk first thing in the morning?

What exactly did you drink last night?

I did drink…

But was it yesterday? Or the day before?

Listen.

It's past 8 o'clock.

Go shower and get yourself looking handsome.

My dear Kuttan!

Is it gonna rain?

SURA HIT JOB CALLING

Sura?

Happy married life, Kuttan!

- Didn't you wish me yesterday? - Yes, I did.

But I wanted to wish you again on your wedding day.

Nothing wrong with that.

Are you happy?

You'll show up on time tomorrow, right?

Sura, didn't I tell you I'd be there?

You did. Just reminding you.

If you don't show up, I'm screwed.

You know how they are.

You moron…

Once Kuttan takes on a job, he delivers, come hell or high water!

If you don't believe me, ask around Onamthuruthu.

Why wouldn't I believe you, Kuttan--

Oh, my! It's Uncle Menace!

Where are you looking?

I've been queuing since 6 a.m. to use that bathroom.

- I didn't see you, sorry. - Obviously you didn't.

Uncle.

What's today's date?

What kind of creature forgets his own wedding date?

Why's he even getting married?

How can anyone dream something this exact?

The non-parabolic comet

is passing very close to Earth's orbital plane.

Sir, what's your take on this phenomenon?

It's expected to pass between 6 p.m.

and around 3:30 a.m.

The world is going to end, Kuttan!

He's coming to tear Earth apart!

Komettan.

Komettan?!

Let it all end with you!

Let destruction rain down!

Happy married life, Kuttan!

This bloody mo…

Wake up if you're asleep, you idiot!

Why's he slapping himself?

Where's that cook?

Babloo bhai, not over there…

- A bit higher. - Alright.

What if it rains?

- It'll get wet. - Okay.

Right, Kuttan bhai?

Everything's right so far.

Let's see what happens next.

- Babloo bhai… - Yes?

Waiting for a bride has driven Kuttan bhai completely nuts!

Nuts?

Let's see if he falls or not.

Kuttan!

Just ten minutes.

I'll move it now.

Sorry I couldn't lend you my car for the wedding.

I hope you don't think I'm being petty.

Petty?

Isn't that what I said?

Oh, look! The groom's finally awake!

Whose wedding is it, anyway?

Stop lazing around and go get ready!

Is he going to fall

or not?

Damn it!

What's so wrong with him marrying her?

Is there anyone else in this town who works as hard as he does?

The real tragedy is

that now we'll have to watch him parade that girl around town.

- Exactly! - You know what?

- What? - Just thinking about it makes me sick.

Then stop thinking about it so much.

Do you think she actually ran a background check on him?

- Who knows? - Either way, they're all set.

She's like a marshmallow.

First a ripe peach, now a marshmallow.

Dirty old weasel!

Oh, no!

- Brother! - Babloo bhai!

Babloo bhai…

Move aside!

Kuttan bhai, we need to get him to the hospital.

- He fell out of a tree. - So he really did fall!

So you had me fooled earlier!

- Someone help him! - This is exactly it!

The same!

Someone get him to the hospital!

Anti!

Get the car, bhai.

Anti!

What's wrong now?

Kuttan!

- What happened? - Babloo bhai fell again.

Get a car! Take him to the hospital!

- He fell again?! - Yeah!

- Yes, he fell again. - But how many times did he fall?!

Wait.

There's a brand new car outside. Whose is it?

- That car? - Yes.

- Mister Petty's. - Oh, Petty's.

- Oh, Monayi. - Yes.

Oh, perfect! Monayi, my dear…

Step on it, bro!

You can clean the car later. Get to the hospital now!

It's already 10 o'clock. Time to get ready.

- Come with me. - Everyone, go eat.

Tell me the truth.

Are you all trying to prank me?

Prank you?

Why would we do that?

Go get dressed quickly.

I brought a makeup artist all the way from Kochi.

Look, here he comes.

Hi, dude!

Hi dude…

This guy?

- How's he? - I know him.

You do?

He's no good.

No good?

But I heard he's good.

I can't find it.

Where's that selfie?

I got it.

Anxiety disorder.

No…

Don't get nervous.

Every first-time groom goes through this.

- Be cool. - Something's wrong with me.

- I'm freaking out. - What is wrong?

Started boozing already?

Not that!

It's like I already know what's going to happen.

Babloo bhai falling from the tree.

That makeup dingbat…

I've seen him before.

When?

Is this some kind of divine vision?

Am I going to die?

Will my wedding even happen?

Do you get what I'm saying?

- I get it. - What?

Marriage isn't child's play.

Of course you're nervous.

At my wedding,

- I had diarrhoea from the nerves. - Ew…

I got married wearing a diaper.

This is nothing.

Just relax.

Take a deep breath.

Inhale!

Dude.

Where can I set up my gear?

No matter how much you think about it, you just can't figure out the look.

Dude! How'd you know?

Anti, this guy's unbelievable.

Honestly, dude…

- You're giving off-- - Total doofus vibes?

Right?

How about we go for a local badass look?

Isn't that what you're thinking?

Oh my God, dude! I bow down to you!

In my entire makeup career,

I've never met a client with so much clarity.

That's Kuttan for you.

I'll fix you up in no time.

Perfect kurta for this hot weather.

Touch my face and I'll slit your throat.

- Bloody pig! - Don't make a scene, dude.

Kuttan… drop the knife.

Kuttan!

The bride has arrived.

That's enough makeup.

- Hurry up! - Coming, Mom!

So much make up! Even the bride's not wearing that much!

Remember our wedding day?

How could I forget?

Looks like your buddy's in diapers too.

Oh, shut up.

- It's the muhoortham. Shall we begin? - Yes.

- Take that bell. - Oh, really?

So many fine boys in Onamthuruthu,

yet she ended up with him?

- Isn't the bride related to our Usha? - Yes, yes.

Then Usha definitely set the poor girl up.

Poor thing. What a fate.

Why's he staring at us like that?

Think he heard us? Damn it!

I think we're screwed.

- Smile. - You look superb!

Hand me those flowers.

- Mom… - Tie the wedding chain.

- Oh no! - What happened?

Oh no! Honey…

- What is it? - What happened, honey?

- Uncle! - Honey…

- Open your eyes! - Kuttan!

- Don't go, Kuttan. - Don't cry. Let me see.

Honey…

- Looks like Rappayi uncle's gone. - My husband's gone…

Kuttan…

Come here.

Don't let this get to you.

He was a tree ready to fall anyway.

The poor man was fated to be struck down by lightning.

Just like I said.

Take a deep breath. Relax.

I'll handle this.

Kuttan…

Kuttan!

Who's that?

- Why's there a crowd again? - Bring him…

Wait… wait…

- Put him inside. - Who fell out of a tree this time?

- Bloody hell. - Don't reverse!

You bloody, Petty! Stop it!

- Let the wedding drums roll. - Come on.

Come on, tell him what to do.

- Tie it quickly. - Come on, shower them with flowers!

Thank God…

Why's he staring at me?

He vanished?

Want some pulissery?

What do you want?

Bring rasam.

Yeah.

Avial?

I'm more of a non-veg person.

Will you buy me a biryani tonight?

Not one, I'll buy you two biryanis!

From now on, I'm having biryani for dinner too.

Yuck!

Who made this avial?

This tastes awful.

Who did you hire to cook?

I told you a thousand times…

don't cheap out on food.

Too late now.

Eat.

You should listen to your Uncle Jalajan sometimes.

Have it, dear.

Honestly, bro…

You're giving off total doofus vibes.

How about a local badass look?

Maybe she picked him just to ward off the evil eye.

Otherwise, something's off with her.

Like father, like bloody son!

Something's definitely off with that girl.

Otherwise, why would she walk straight into this trap?

Looks like the wedding's off, Latha.

How the hell did a guy like him end up with a chick like that?

What a hot chick!

She's like a ripe peach.

Oh my God… My head!

Jala's got about sixteen stitches on his head.

Hear me!

I said there are sixteen stitches.

He's exaggerating.

Anti said it's only six.

Kuttan…

Son…

it's true that…

we hid your past to make this wedding happen.

If there's anything she should know, tell her tonight.

You people just stop adding to my problems.

Let me somehow survive this night.

- There he is. Go! - Walk fast.

Hurry…

Stop right there.

Did you tell her why I never found a bride?

No…

We just went to check on her.

If I see you around this house again…

Get out!

He's got quite a temper.

How did you know what they said, Kuttan?

I've been seeing it all for two days.

What did you say?

Long story.

Biryani.

Thanks.

Welcome.

Well…

Shall we go to bed after dinner?

Whatever happens, I'm having my wedding night tonight.

Nobody's here,

It is sharp.

- I'll keep this here. - Why the machete?

Just…

So I don't get nightmares.

And if it's not a nightmare, I'll put an end to it tonight.

Oh, no!

The curtains aren't closed.

What happened?

Nothing.

This place isn't exactly safe.

It's full of peeping Toms.

I've seen bigger wedding nights.

This is nothing.

About what happened at lunch today…

Don't take it to heart.

My hand slipped a little.

You mean when you hurled that desk?

I just can't stand people who badmouth food.

I was dying to smack him.

And then you actually did it.

Good job.

I've got this tiny problem with emotional outbursts.

My family thinks it's mental.

Just know that's not the case.

SURA HIT JOB CALLING

Kuttan, my boy.

Calling to remind me about tomorrow, right?

Yeah. How'd you guess? You're unbelievable!

If you call to remind me one more time…

you won't remember anything ever again.

- Why'd you say that, Kuttan? - Hang up, you walking reminder!

Kuttan, what about my hit job?

So you're not coming?

Who was that?

Something urgent?

Nah, nothing important.

Got a job tomorrow night.

He just called to remind me.

He won't do it again.

Your jobs are always at night?

Not really.

Sometimes they run till dawn.

Will anything even happen tonight?

Remember what I asked you this morning?

- What? - About getting married yesterday.

Weren't you just joking because of your dream?

Not at all.

Then?

I've got to tell you something. Don't be scared.

Tonight, something might happen… or it might not.

Even she figured it out.

Loser!

He'll keep me here till sunrise.

- Did you hear a cry? - Yes.

Hey!

- You again? - Who's that?

- What's going on there? - Sorry. One second.

I'll kill him today!

Kuttan!

I'm not letting you go!

Who the hell are you?

You Kannada creep, why do you keep crashing my wedding night?!

I'm not letting you go!

Huh? Tamil?

You!

Stop right there, you, plastic-can scumbag!

Look at me!

Take this too.

Kuttan!

My head!

Blood!

Am I losing my mind?

Do I have some deadly disease?

After waiting forever to get married,

now it's my wedding every day!

Thunder again?

Looks like rain.

But it won't rain till tonight.

Huh? A fly!

SURA HIT JOB CALLING

It's Sura again!

The green comet that passes Earth only once every 3000 years--

Get up! Get up! Go! Move!

- Enough stuffing yourself with idlis! - He's lost his mind.

Why'd you switch off the TV?

You, oldie!

That's what the end times look like!

Don't make me cuss you out first thing in the morning.

- Get lost, you rebel! Good-for-nothing! - Something else is coming.

- Happy married life, Kuttan! - Got it!

- Stop right there! - Get lost!

Your son's been pounding my back for three days!

Three days?

What is he even talking about?

For three days straight, it's been idli, sambar, repeat!

Didn't I tell you, you idiot, not to smoke here?!

So you're burning trash and smoking now?

When did you say that? Can't we burn trash?

I'll burn you with the trash.

Why?

- Wanna see? - No.

Then go light the stove.

- I will - Go on.

- Cook the rice. - Is he crazy?

I'm first!

Kids, don't run!

- Damn! - You'll fall!

- Babloo bhai. - Yes?

Get down. You'll break your leg.

We need to tie this or everyone will get soaked in the rain!

Idiot, it won't rain till tonight.

Hey, get him down. He'll get hurt.

Waiting for a bride has driven Kuttan bhai completely nuts!

Yeah, keep laughing.

You'll know who's nuts when you hit the ground.

Get lost, you petty loser! His bloody car!

Huh? Where'd he go?

Looks like late marriage is the latest fashion.

How the hell did a guy like him land a pretty girl like her?

Young girls these days seem to prefer older men.

I hear she's quite a looker, a real buttercup.

She sure is.

Ripe peach, marshmallow and a buttercup!

You, bloody perverts!

You came to cook for my wedding and now you're cooking me?!

- It wasn't me… - Oh, no…

Babloo fell again!

I'll straighten all of you out.

This Babloo!

I warned Babloo he'd fall!

- Babloo bhai… - Oh, God…

- What happened, Jala? - What do you think happened?

With everyone coming,

I told him to pull the tarp tighter.

And now he's on the ground!

Can't even climb a tree and they call themselves workers!

Who told you to make Babloo climb the tree?

I told him not to climb because he'll break his leg.

- How was I supposed to know he'd fall? - I knew it. That's why I stopped him!

What is he even talking about?

Someone get him to a hospital.

I'm sick of repeating myself.

- You're getting mud all over that door. - Close the door.

- Move out of the way! - Move aside. Let him through.

Is he alright?

Hurry up.

That dingbat's back to make a fool of me again.

Kuttan, don't run…

Here's the wedding chain.

- Come on, Kuttan, tie it! - Tie it.

I'll do it.

- Kuttan! - What's wrong?

- Tie it! - What are you staring at?

- I said I will! - What's going on?

- Tie the wedding chain! - Let it strike first.

Someone's gonna bite it first.

What's gonna strike?

Come on, Kuttan. Tie it.

Oh no!

- There! He's gone! - Who's that?

What happened, honey?

Anti, take him away.

- Let me marry her. - Someone, please check on him.

Don't cry.

Oh, no, he tied the chain!

Finished.

I'll smash one with the pestle and hack the other with the machete.

The pestle stays in the corner, the machete stays by the bed.

Why do we need a pestle and a machete?

Relax. It's our wedding night.

Just for safety.

It'll be over soon.

Done.

But we're safe, right?

Too soon to say.

Can't see him anywhere.

What's that black thing?

You!

- Sharmila, don't come out. - Who is it?

I'll handle this.

- Kuttan! - Today's the day you die!

You filthy pig!

I'm gonna…

Mom!

Get lost!

How dare you peep at us, you creep!

I'll deal with you, you prick!

I knew you'd show up today, you bunch of plastic-can scumbags!

What's today? Hindi?

Green!

Kuttan…

Happy married life!

SURA HIT JOB CALLING

And so the game begins.

Okay, okay.

Green, yellow, red! Bloody!

I'll kill every one of you!

First one guy, then two… now it's three!

At this rate, I'll have to fight a war

just to have my wedding night!

Just kill me!

- What happened to him? - Wait, no! Don't kill me!

Let me guess, you queued up for a shower?

I thought you'd be here yesterday.

- Where are you going? - I'll be right back.

- Aren't you ready yet, Kuttan? - Get lost, man!

Where is he charging off to?

- Is that Lathan Kumar? - Yeah.

That's the groom.

- Why's he so fired up? - Okay! Beautiful person.

- Kuttan! - Come with me!

- What was that? - Why slap me?

Why'd you hit him?

- Do you even know him? - Yeah, for four days. Come on.

Why didn't you say so?

Did you get a car for the wedding?

Never thought I'd get this today.

I know Mister Petty. Hurry!

Your first passengers will be here soon.

- What are you saying? - Come.

- What's wrong, Kuttan? - Just come here.

You won't believe me if I tell you exactly what happened.

So, watch.

- Watch what? - Stand right here.

Listen carefully. Don't say a word.

Now he'll say…

"How the hell did a guy like him land a pretty girl like her?"

How the hell did a guy like him land a pretty girl like her?

I'm wondering the same thing.

- Shocked? - I've no idea how!

What's wrong with him?

He's a solid guy.

He'll treat her like a queen.

No doubt.

Now that guy will say…

"Like a ripe peach…"

Or "a marshmallow."

- Or "a buttercup." - Of course he'll treat her well.

That girl is like a ripe peach.

A ripe peach indeed.

- See? - Who're they talking about?

About my wife!

About my Sharmila!

Now he'll say…

"Stop badmouthing the man who gave us work."

"Just do your job."

- See?! - I'm just stirring the pot!

Believe me now?

Now do you see?

We're not done yet. There's more Come on.

Watch.

In ten seconds, Babloo is going to fall on his butt.

What are you saying, Kuttan?

Just watch!

- Hey! - See?

- Kuttan! - This, that, everything… dead accurate!

How on earth are you doing this?

There's more. Let's go.

Come with me.

Come on!

Stand here.

Listen… This is the madness I've been dealing with for days.

What?

I am spelling it out for you and you still don't get it?!

My life's stuck on repeat mode!

- Repeat? - Yes.

Everything I just told you, I've already lived it many times!

Every morning I wake up… it's my wedding day again.

It just starts all over again.

That makeup man you brought…

turns me into a complete clown before the wedding.

- When? - That's why I slapped him.

But I literally just brought him here.

Kuttan…

- Aren't you seeing your doctor? - Doctor! Rubbish! That's not it!

I've been dying to tell someone…

- …and have a good cry. - It's okay…

I can't make head or tail…

- …of what's happening. - You will.

What a nightmare!

Sure, the wedding and feast go great.

But…

But?

My wedding night never happens.

Well, why didn't you say so! So, that's the problem?

- Poor thing. - What?

- Sexual mental disorder. - Huh?

- You didn't understand? - No.

- Just like that movie? - What?

Mental block caused by lack-of-familiarity syndrome.

- That's your issue. - You imbecile! It's not that!

Every night, masked men break in and murder us!

Cut it out, Kuttan.

- What stories-- - Quit smirking, you tool!

Easy for you to laugh!

I'm the one who's doomed here!

At least tell a story someone on this planet would believe.

- Don't believe me? - Nope.

- You really don't? - Nope.

- I'll make you believe me. Come on! - Okay.

Say it's the playing

- Of the forces of the universe - Look at the state of him!

Come decide, verify It's a study

Or is he coming straight out

From the Gods & Goddeses

Edges all around go missing

In this time game Fixin' all the goofy, ready

For the bride game Yea. Quit the playin'

- It's alright… - Get the party start away

Keep the fire burnin' on

'Cause we standin' till the end game

Can I go to my wife…

Not that way.

- This way! - Me?!

- Come! - Kuttan!

What the hell are you doing?

- What on earth are you doing? - Come, sit here.

Sit here. I'll make you believe.

- Let him go. - Why make him sit there?

- Who is that next to you? - Greetings to this esteemed gathering.

Only the groom sits here.

Get down and take a seat outside.

Right.

No, he is staying right here.

Do your hocus-pocus and give me the chain.

- What's he rambling? - Kuttan, I'm hungry. I'll go eat.

Sit down. Hungry already?

- Here. Stuff this. - Don't do that, Kuttan!

- Shove it! - Let him do whatever!

- What's going on? - Did you eat, Sharmila?

- Want a banana, Sharmila? - Nope.

Oh, my…

- Give it. - Here's the wedding chain.

Cover both your ears right now.

A huge thunderclap is about to strike.

The moment it does, that old man,

the one flirting with that lady…

- he'll drop dead! - Oh, God…

- You tell him! - Let the wedding drums roll!

Seriously, this guy…

Son…

It'll strike… any second now.

Tie the damn knot already!

Want me to come over there?

Oh, dear!

Oh, no!

- Get up, honey! - Well?

Did you choke on that banana?

Someone collapsed!

- Ready for the bride game - Oh, no!

- Kuttan, he… - Get the party start away

- Keep the fire burnin' on - You are unreal, Kuttan.

Was that it or is there more?

There's more.

The rest is on our wedding night.

Now do you believe me?

I believe you…

- I do… - That's all.

Astronomers are closely monitoring this extremely rare comet

as it travels through the inner Solar System.

Look at that beautiful green glow.

Temporarily designated "C-27," the object…

Dear, do you know how comets are formed?

- When the sun-- - Farts, right?

I already told her the theory.

- Oh, you did. - Come with me.

Scientists say it will pass Earth at a safe distance…

She'll have you believing anything.

…in the coming hours and poses no threat.

- Look how eager he is! - However, its unusual trajectory…

Get in.

What is it? What's going on?

Get ready quickly.

We're not spending our wedding night here.

This room isn't very secure.

We're going into town. Be quick.

What's wrong with this place?

I used to live in a place like this.

- Where's my new underwear? - This town…

- …and all this nature. - Got it!

And your mom, Latha.

And…

the cherry on top of cake… you, my Kuttan.

Sharmila, do you write poetry?

A little.

Thought as much.

Let's just stay away for a day.

From tomorrow on, we can live here forever.

To enjoy this town and nature,

we need to stay alive first.

What's the point of marrying you every day, my dear?

If we never get to the wedding night?

Where are you taking her?

We… are going on our honeymoon.

At midnight?

Last-minute plan.

Total surprise.

Gen Z! Gen Z!

Who made you Gen Z?

- You're a boomer. - Mom!

You shouldn't stay here either, Mom.

Anti will be here soon.

He'll drop you at Uncle's.

Head to Muthappan from there.

Let's go, Sharmila. Time for our honeymoon.

See you, Mom.

Aren't we taking the bike?

Always the bike. Let's take the boat for a change.

What's gotten into him?

What's the plan?

I left the bike at home.

Drop Mom at my uncle's.

- Okay. - We'll cross by boat.

Alright.

We'll catch the last bus at 10:10 into town and get a room.

Also…

Don't hang around here after I leave.

- You hear me? - Got it.

Bloody thing travelled 3000 years just for this!

Stupid comet!

Don't worry! All the best!

Sharmila, get in.

- Careful. - Take my hand.

Slowly.

Untie it, Anti.

Bloody Sura!

Kuttan, don't forget about tomorrow, okay?

If I see tomorrow's sunrise,

you won't see its sunset. Hang up, you moron!

- Hello? Is this Kuttan? - What a punch dialogue!

Hello?

He's my friend.

He only calls at night.

Take care.

See you tomorrow, assuming I don't die.

And if I do die, see you at my wedding tomorrow.

- As long as I get to see you. - Okay.

- Alright. - Shall we?

Our wedding night feels like a thriller movie.

I liked it.

Quite the comedy.

By the way…

I don't know how to swim.

As if I do!

Who are those three masked guys behind Anti?

Oh, no! The plastic-can scumbags are here!

- Who? - Anti! Behind you!

- Ta-ta! Get going! - Turn around! Behind you!

- The masked guys! Turn around! - I'm not coming. Go by yourself.

Turn around, you idiot.

The masked guys!

Who's coming to kill him at this hour?

Whatever. Let him go.

Poor fellow!

Oh, no!

He fell into the water! He's going to die!

Oh, my goodness!

Why did they bash Anti's head in?

- What's the problem? - No problem.

His mustache will keep him afloat.

- Are they chasing us? - Who are they?

If I knew, do you think I'd be rowing around at midnight like an idiot?

I would've broken all three of their backs myself this morning!

Three?!

There are four of them.

Four now?!

Yes, definitely four.

We need to get out of here somehow.

Otherwise, next there'll be five, then six.

Those damn plastic-can scumbags!

- Are they coming? - Yes.

They're right behind us!

They're almost here!

Get lost!

Careful, Kuttan.

Look, they've stopped rowing.

What's the matter? Out of breath?

Come on, then! Show me what you've got!

Think you can take me on?

- Oh, crap! Yamaha! - What?!

Swaha! Now we're doomed!

Who are you people? Why are you after us?

You mangy dogs! Scumbags! Pricks! Rascals!

Take those masks off if you've got the guts!

You thought you could screw us over and live here in peace? You piece of trash!

Malayalis?

Oh, no!

Do something!

What can I do? They'll do the rest.

We're going to die in this backwater!

- Keep rowing! - Get lost!

- Don't come close! - Just row!

Go away!

So am I the so-called immortal now?

Round, round, round

The garland spins around in chaos

Jan, jan

January marching in March, so lost

Someone get him to a hospital!

GULP! Snake swallows the dice!

Hey!

- Hey! - Bloom, bloom

The bread blooms with mould

A fly gets stuck right in

Here's a 20-rupee note.

A 20-rupee note with Gandhi's head.

It's Gandhi's head.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.

Do you know who Gandhiji is? Father of the Nation.

Di-Nation.

Dineshan's father.

Po mone, Dineshan! Savari giri giri…

Nothing's gonna happen. Some people are coming.

Song, song The song tape tangles in the recorder

Yesudas gives way to rap

Even Mandi's given up Tasting as bland as Upma

And every butt that dares sit down

Finds a thorn waiting

Nerve to vein, vein to nerve Lava's on the move

Snail, snail Till the snail finally picks up speed

Wait, wait, waiting

The wire's sulking And lost all its spark

- Up on that wire, the crow - Nothing's happening. Go home.

- I'll call you. - Just. Charred. Withered. Fin.

Damn this Sura!

Dammit!

Kuttan, where are you?

What is it? What happened?

Some masked men came here and caused a scene!

Kuttan…

Latha aunty…

They attacked her.

Uncle got beaten up trying to stop them.

Latha aunty is in the ICU.

She's in pretty bad shape, Kuttan.

Where the hell are you?

I couldn't reach you on your phone. Who are those guys?

Don't worry, Anti. I'll see you tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Are you going to sleep? Kuttan!

Kuttan!

Why are you sitting here?

Lost something in the pond?

What's the point of having that "thing" anyway?

So you're saying this has been happening to you for a few days?

But why only you?

How do I know it's just me?

I can only speak for myself.

Still, how is this even possible?

Is this some kind of movie?

You've asked me this so many times.

- Really? - I'm sick of explaining it to you.

I can't start all over again.

I'm stuck in such a messed-up situation, I can't even kill myself.

- Don't lose hope like this. - Then what?

There's no problem in this world

that can't be solved with a little clever thinking.

If this has been happening for days,

why don't you figure out who tried to kill you?

You've got all the time in the world, don't you?

Can't you remember anything about them?

They always come wearing masks.

Anything at all? A mole… a scar… Something?

Mole, my foot!

Wait, was there a mole?

Think!

You thought you could screw us over

and live here in peace? You piece of trash!

- Not me. - Then?

They meant her! She's the one they're after.

- Her? - Yes.

"You thought you could screw us over

and live here in peace? You piece of trash!"

If they meant me, they wouldn't have stressed "live here."

You've got a point.

You finally got a wife after all that waiting

now she's getting kidnapped?

I'll just go ask her myself.

If you start digging into your bride's past

on your wedding night,

you'll be a total creep in her eyes forever.

And you can kiss your happy married life goodbye.

At your age, don't even dream of finding another bride, Kuttan.

Then what the hell do I do?

- You can find out without asking her. - How?

Go to her hometown and ask around.

But we're already married.

So what? Around here, marriage doesn't stop people

from looking into their spouse's background.

Sometimes they end up learning more than they bargained for.

- Come on. - Come.

Not that way. Kandanad is this way.

Can't believe I'm tagging along with him.

We're getting thrashed for sure.

Kuttan, will people get suspicious?

I don't care what anyone thinks.

I need to know which masked scumbags cracked my skull.

Fine then.

Stop! Stop!

This is the house.

Anti…

This place looked a lot fancier when I came to see the bride.

Sister…

- Hello. - Who are you?

We'll get straight to the point.

We've come with a marriage proposal.

For Sharmila who lives in this house.

- But… - What's she like?

Is she a woman of good character?

- Is she a decent person? - Of course!

What kind of question is that?

Please don't misunderstand us.

Does Sharmila have any enemies around here?

We've heard a few things. Right?

Too late. She got married today.

- Really? - They never invited us.

Maybe they were scared we'd tell the truth

if anyone came asking questions like this.

Listen…

- She's not exactly the decent type. - Really?

Yes.

Don't just take my word for it.

Ask around the village.

I've got plenty more to say.

But…

Thanks, sister.

Have some tea.

Why would that lady say something like that?

She's a pest!

Malayalis just love gossiping about their neighbours.

We shouldn't have come here.

You'll hear the same gossip about pretty girls wherever you go.

Just stories cooked up by jealous haters.

Forget it.

I'm losing it!

I finally married the girl of my dreams

and now I'm snooping into my own wife's past

like some loser.

You're overthinking it.

Forget about it. Just relax.

Take a deep breath.

Is that your cure for everything?

Fine. Have your tea.

Why's he staring at me like that?

TAILOR SHOP

Anti…

- He's taking our photo. - A photo?

Alright. I'll pose.

Or was it a selfie?

There he goes.

Why'd they take our pictures?

Never seen people before?

You think they're targeting us or something?

- We've never done a hit here before. - Target?

Anti, something's seriously off with the people in this village.

See? Everyone's staring at us.

Come on, let's go.

Shouldn't we pay for the tea?

We'll toss the money as we go.

It won't start.

Damn it!

Push properly! Don't just pretend!

Couldn't you at least get some petrol before this mission?

I did!

Someone must be following us. Don't turn around.

Listen…

Did you get any news?

We checked everywhere. No sign of him.

His loser friend is missing too.

I'm starting to think they eloped together.

- You think Kuttan would do that? - Hah!

Say one more nonsense about my son,

and I won't care if you're my own brother!

What world are you living in, Latha?

That's not exactly nonsense these days.

If that's really what happened,

better prepare yourself for it.

That's all I'm saying.

Oh God, he left right after the wedding.

Where could he be?

What if those Kommadi people…

The Kommadi gang? Oh God!

I'm tired of pushing.

I was the one pushing! You just kept yapping.

- I'm pushing. - Leave the bike here.

- Let's catch the first bus out. - Yeah.

We've dug deep enough.

If something happens to them because I wasn't there,

I'll have to kill myself again.

You just married her.

Already willing to die for her?

That's not it, idiot! Only if I die can I marry her again.

Yes…

Fair enough.

What is it? Got a crush on me?

You've been staring holes through me.

Kuttan! It's nothing, Uncle. He's just a bit upset.

No, he's been giving me that weird look for a while.

You're Kuttan, aren't you?

Huh?

What if I am?

Aren't you the one who married Sharmila?

Huh? Anti…

Look, Sharmila.

Look, it's your wedding photo.

Sharmila Fans?!

Never heard of "Sharmila Fans, Kandanad"?

- Haven't you heard? - That's us!

The neighbour lady.

- The village square! - The village square!

You're in this photo too.

- Me? - The bus stop!

- It's right here. - All three of us!

Where the hell are they taking these photos from?

- Hey! Stop right there! - Stop!

Who the hell are you?

Got guts? Take off that helmet and come here!

- I'll pose for your photo! - I'll deal with you, you swine!

- Who are these guys? - They just keep showing up.

What the hell!

Where'd that old man disappear to?

This whole thing's a mystery.

This isn't Kandanad, it's Can't-Find-Nad!

Look… Sharmila.

VAIKOM-VYTTILA-KANDANAD SHARMILA

There he is!

That guy!

Damn! The 4:30 Sharmila just left!

4:30 Sharmila?!

Anti…

Hands off!

You hid your own past before getting married

and now your wife's got an even bigger one!

We messed up, Kuttan.

We really messed up.

We should've been suspicious.

We should've asked around.

What kind of place did you marry into?

Even the bus is named after her!

"The 4:30 Sharmila!"

What's with those red eyes, Kuttan?

Can't you even pee?

"Kandanad Sharmila".

"Contact for enquiries."

"Sharmila Hot."

567…

SHARMILA HOT

Hey…

No messing around, got it?

Don't start trouble in an unfamiliar place.

Two banana fritters, two teas, and one sukhiyan.

Fifty-six rupees.

Who wrote that phone number in the toilet?

Which one?

Sharmila's?

She won't answer if you call now.

Call her at night, bro.

Try it and see.

Greetings.

Kuttan…

- Did you even put diesel in the vehicle? - I did, sir.

I can't push this thing in the middle of the night, got it?

Get up.

Sir, I made a mistake. Sorry.

- I just got married today. - Then?

Look at my dress.

My wife is waiting for me.

Can I just go now?

So you're the Kuttan who married Sharmila, right?

Yes, sir.

How did you know?

Is there some problem?

Oh, so you're here investigating if there's a problem?

Yes, sir. How did you figure that out?

Brilliant.

You got married and then came to find out what's wrong with her?

Don't you guys have anything better to do?

A little late to start digging now, Kuttan.

Anyway, drop it.

Don't let her know you came snooping around.

That's better for your health. Got it?

Why, sir?

You'll understand soon enough.

You just got married. Give it time.

Listen carefully.

If you go around causing trouble here in her name…

I'll smash both your heads in!

Don't go home until I tell you. Sit right here until then.

- Sit there. - Okay sir.

He thinks that's scary?

Why did he say all that?

Something's definitely off, Kuttan.

You were the one who consoled me, saying they're all just jealous idiots.

But would locals and cops both say the same thing for nothing?

Don't grind your teeth.

We'll handle it.

Try taking a deep breath…

Forget it!

Still…

Hey…

Look…

Sir, your food's here.

Listen.

Are you sure they'll come after 10?

So far, yes.

And you should be sure too.

Huh? How would I know?

Because you already died at their hands once.

Died? When?

Look! Menace Uncle's calling.

Not going to answer?

- Pick up! - Hello?

- Hello, Kuttan. - Hello… Hello…

- Kuttan… - Yes, tell me.

Some masked men kidnapped your wife.

And your mother tried to stop them, but…

Mom?

- She's gone… - What…

- Latha aunty? - Kuttan, where are you?

- Hello? - Kuttan!

Hello?

- Kuttan! - Hey…

Kuttan…

Something happened to Aunty.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Say something!

Somebody kidnapped Sharmila.

Say something, Kuttan.

- Forgive me, Anti. - Forgive you?!

A lorry's coming. Move the scooter!

I have no other choice.

Take a deep breath.

Everything will be okay.

- Sorry, man! - Drop me here and you go.

No time to stop.

Oh Lord, please let him be telling the truth.

- Everything is true. - Praise the Lord!

Keep praying! Don't be scared… See you tomorrow…

Kuttan!

Let go of my hand.

Let go, boy! You're gonna make me fall!

What is it now?

I don't want this marriage.

You don't want it?!

This wedding can't happen. It was a mistake.

A mistake?

You gave that girl your word and now you're backing out?

I'll knock some sense into you!

Count yourself lucky this even happened.

Latha, we are here.

- Yes. - We have arrived.

Mom, you should've checked her background.

- What?! What now? - Hi, Latha.

- Please go eat. - I already did.

Speak clearly.

Did you even look into her before agreeing to this?

You should just be glad they didn't look into you!

Stop talking nonsense and ruining a poor girl's future.

I'll crack your head open!

You don't know anything, Mom!

Something is wrong with her.

She has a sketchy past.

You won't understand, Mom.

Oh, please!

You think I live in this town and know nothing?

I know.

Know what?

That she's a hot piece.

Huh?

I knew these rotten townsfolk would get to you.

She already told me everything.

It's not what you think.

How did you know?

She'll tell you everything after the wedding.

"Don't want this marriage," my foot!

- Just you wait… - I don't care what you say, Mom.

I won't marry her! Not a chance!

End of story.

Pass me that flower.

Smile, you moron.

Why are you standing out here alone?

I just wanted to be alone.

Are you angry?

Didn't like me coming here?

Who are you, really?

How do you have so many enemies?

Ever since I married you, I've been stuck on our wedding day.

At midnight, a bunch of masked creeps break in…

they murder me and take you.

This has happened over sixteen times!

I'm sick of dying!

What absolute nonsense are you talking?

Who's coming to kill you?

It's not just you.

No one would understand it anyway.

But here's something you'll understand.

I asked around about you.

I know it was wrong.

But I had no choice.

And the things I heard weren't great.

Something about a fan club in your name.

Even the cops warned me

not to let you know I was snooping.

Who are you really?

I never thought you were that kind of person.

You actually went around asking people about me.

- I-- - You could've just asked me directly.

I wasn't trying to make you look bad.

I'm only human, Sharmila.

How do I explain this?

Either I find out who's behind all this…

Or…

Or what?

Or we part ways.

I'll take you back home.

You don't have to do me such a huge favour.

I can get back on my own.

I'm only saying this because of what I'm going through.

When I heard all that about you,

I completely lost my head.

Because I love you that much.

Who are your enemies?

I don't even understand what they're saying.

They're shouting in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada…

Wherever you go, they'll find you.

I'm the only one who can protect you.

Maybe I'm stuck in this day just for you.

Please, just believe me.

Shekharan Kutti…

Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you.

If you die,

who's going to spread the word?

- Right, Bheera? - Yes, Tiger.

I'll give you one chance.

If you spread the word throughout Mangalapuram…

I'll do it…

If you pass this on to a 100 people in 10 days…

good things will come your way.

If not, no matter where you run, I will find you…

and split your head open just like I did his.

- Please don't! - Got it?

Tiger.

Blast it, Bheera.

Tiger!

So…

this is my last job.

What's the matter, bro?

What happened?

Give me that, Bheera!

Bloody hell!

Shekharan Kutti?

Someone was in love with me before I got married.

When I say before…

I mean about sixteen years ago.

Shekharan, don't fight.

Sharmila is mine!

Sharmila is mine!

I won't let you have Sharmila!

No, don't.

No.

- How many times have I told you… - Dad…

- not to fight over that girl? - Dad, it wasn't my fault!

- Damned brat! - They started it, not me!

- Pick on someone your own size! - Dad, please… No!

How dare you pick fights with other kids?

You absolute curse of a son!

Pick on someone your own size!

Let's see if I can knock some sense into you!

Look at how he's standing!

This isn't a fair game. I can't allow this.

Close your eyes. It'll sting.

She's out!

Doesn't it hurt?

No.

Not when…

you're doing it, Sharmila.

Sharmila… don't be scared.

It's me.

Your Shekharan Kutti.

What are you doing here this late?

Why do you ask?

Can't I come at night?

It's okay.

Forget that.

Sharmila, I'll catch ten thousand fireflies for you.

For real?

Mm-hmm.

Do we not feed you at home?

Is that why you're stealing neighbour's chicken?!

You rascal!

Untie me, or you're dead!

Does the sight of me

make your blood boil?

You won't lay eyes on anyone ever again!

You dog!

Stay still!

You glued my eyes shut and ran… You absolute curse of a brat!

Sharmila.

Sharmila.

What are you doing here at this hour?

Sharmila…

I'm leaving.

Where?

I can't stay here anymore.

I'll build a life somewhere else.

I'll make it big.

I'll come back in a few years.

For my Sharmila.

What? Why?

When I come back…

will you still remember me, Sharmila?

- Where is all this coming from? - Let's call the police!

I see a light over there!

I finished someone off, Sharmila.

What?!

Tell me, Sharmila…

Will you wait for me?

Tell me quickly!

Will you wait for me?

Fine. I'll wait.

That's enough.

I'll be back,

no matter how long it takes.

- Catch him! - Catch him!

16 YEARS LATER

Imagine thousands of fireflies lighting up the night.

Wouldn't that be beautiful?

Sharmila…

Who are you?

Do you remember me, Sharmila?

I guess you don't.

Most people forget their childhood memories.

But…

do you remember putting crushed herbs on my scraped knee

when I got hurt playing?

Or telling me you couldn't live without me?

Or promising you'd wait for me

when I left the village?

I've never forgotten any of it.

I never could.

Back then, it was just a crush.

As I grew up, it grew with me.

Remember me now, Sharmila?

Shekharan Kutti, the boy who ran away after rubbing glue into his father's eyes.

- Great story, right? - Yes.

Shekharan Kutti?

Yes.

The very same Shekharan Kutti.

Honestly, I was nervous, wondering if you'd wait this long for me.

That's why I had to put on this whole firefly show.

But the moment you called me "Shekharan Kutti"…

all my worries vanished.

I became okay.

- I… - Don't explain.

I know, it'll take time to believe this.

So…

So?

I'll come to your house tomorrow.

Why?

Surprise!

You didn't say anything.

I do remember you, Shekharan Kutti.

And our childhood too.

But I never loved you the way you think I did.

Not even back then.

Ouch!

Rejection!

You don't love me?!

How's that possible?

You told me to wait for you. That's why I waited all these years.

I came all the way from Mangalapuram.

We'd already decided everything back then, right?

Just because I said something stupid as a kid…

Who hangs onto something like that for all these years?

Tell me, guys… Who does that?

- If you ask me… - Nobody does, right?

Maybe I blurted it out half-asleep.

Please don't hold onto that, Shekharan Kutti.

You ruined sixteen years of my sleep…

and now you're calling it sleep talk?!

You've carried this all these years?

Isn't that a bit too much?

Hey, Tiger. Calm down.

Anyway…

I'll think it over and let you know.

Why does he need to think?

Isn't that your decision to make?

Who knows?

Someone should've disciplined that brat.

Should've slapped him when he kissed me as a kid!

What's wrong, son?

That axe scared the life out of me!

You've got guts.

Where'd you find that courage?

You don't have to fear anyone to tell the truth.

I'm Sharmila, not Jaya. Got it?

Whatever.

Looks like one little speech from you taught him to forgive.

He's already a murderer.

He could have just taken you away.

Sharmila, dear…

It's me, your Shekharan Kutti.

Open up!

Please open the door.

I've thought it through.

I forgive you for everything you said.

I just want to talk.

I came all the way from Mangalapuram for you.

Oh God!

And you're hiding behind locked doors?

Open the door.

Don't! He's got an axe!

Don't close it!

Rejection again!

Don't be scared. That's just my style.

Just leave!

I'm calling the police!

I'm about to kick this door down!

Mom, call the police!

Ma'am, with your permission, I'll break the door down!

It's just me, Shekharan Kutti. Don't be scared.

Mom, call the police!

- Oh no! - Sharmila, here I come!

- Wait right there! - Let go of my daughter!

Stay there, Mom.

- Rest in peace. - Wow!

- Tiger locked her mom up! - Mom!

You promised me you'd wait, Sharmila. That's why I came.

So what changed your mind?

I got my hopes up.

I know all this must be scaring you.

But Bheera said if you hate the Tiger enough,

you'll end up loving him one day.

Right, Bheera?

Yes, Tiger.

The day you tell me you love me,

I'll apologise for everything.

Till then…

you're coming with me.

You can't open it. My boys locked it from the outside.

Bheera and the gang.

Sharmila…

when the whole town hated me,

you were the only one who loved me.

You won't understand that now.

Years from now, when we're living together,

this'll all seem funny.

We'll laugh about it together.

Come.

Let's go.

Come on.

Dear…

Come on, let's go.

Let's just go.

Still using a smoke burner?

Dear…

Oh, crap!

She took Tiger bhai down!

Sharmila…

You didn't stab me…

You stabbed yourself.

Look.

SHARMILA

Let go… let go!

I've waited sixteen long years.

If I can't make you mine, I've lost.

And I don't lose in my own story.

Hey!

Cops!

Oh, crap!

Bheera, what now?

Nothing. Run for our lives!

Come on!

Sir, he's completely insane!

- Hey, you! Stop there! - Sharmila…

- Get over here! - I'll be back!

Till then, you won't be leaving Kandanad.

Shekharan Kutti was in jail for five years.

Everything his goons did during that time…

that's what you saw and heard, Kuttan.

Just to get back at me.

They ruined every marriage proposal that came my way.

I'd already told your mother everything.

Don't worry.

No one will touch you again.

I'm here for you.

They're here!

Now I know who you idiots are!

To hell with your green and red masks!

- Let go! - Kuttan!

Happy Death Day, Kuttan.

Kuttan…

She must have told you about me. I'm Shekharan Kutti.

Let go!

Grab her.

- Let go! - Hey, Shekharan Kutti!

Just let me die.

I'll deal with every one of you tomorrow!

- Kuttan… - What?!

Bheera, what nonsense is he saying?

He'll die today and come after us tomorrow?!

Just a stupid dialogue.

Finish him, Tiger.

He's dying and still delivering punchlines?!

- No! - Give that here!

Still cracking lame jokes at death's door!

This is your climax!

- The End. - Thank you.

…will pass close to Earth tonight.

This is what the end of the world looks like, Kuttan!

Either you…

or me.

Damn his phenomenon!

Happy married life…

You've been going on and on!

You beat the groom's back like a drum?!

- Let go! - Run!

Dad, look what this Kuttan did…

Next one.

Girls these days have zero imagination.

Otherwise, she'd never have married a guy like him.

Such a gorgeous, ripe peach of a girl!

Stop it, you!

Wondering how I pulled this off?

I'll feed you all the ripe peaches, marshmallows and butter you want!

Please let go…

- Babloo! - Yes?

- Get down! - What happened, Kuttan bhai?

Get down, I said!

What's he doing?

Jala, about this evening--

- What's he doing? - Kuttan bhai, my ladder…

The ladder!

He threw it away! Kuttan!

What kind of nonsense is this guy up to?

Did marriage knock a screw loose?

I don't care if you're my uncle.

Keep yapping and I'll knock you flat!

I'm dying to punch someone.

I'll punch every one of you.

Move!

What's going on?

He says he wants to punch his Uncle Jalajan.

He's your friend. Go ask him.

- Did he really say that? Let me ask him. - He did!

Kuttan!

Stay right there.

Blame the parenting!

Kuttan, did you really say you'd punch your uncle?

Hell yeah. So what?

You're just pumped up with wedding excitement, huh?

Yeah. You want a punch too?

You haven't showered yet?

Hurry up. The makeup artist is ready.

All the way from Kochi.

- Yeah… - You know the deal!

Come on, boy. Time for makeup.

Coming, man!

Now you've officially turned into a proper dude!

Right?

Wow.

Killer look!

Anti, got any cotton pads left?

An eye for an eye Payback multiplied!

A gun loaded with bullets Pull the trigger, let it rip!

A remedy packed with every trick Drink it down, the shivers are gone!

Tie that black rope around your neck And watch those wings slowly fall still

Eyes wide open The net is spread wide

Maybe she picked him just to ward off the evil eye.

- Poor girl. What a fate! - True.

Sit on the line I've drawn. Now settle the score with interest!

Why's he staring like that?

That look doesn't seem right.

Not at me. At you.

I think that psycho heard what you said.

He's coming this way. Should we run?

Kuttan!

I think he's completely lost it, Latha.

Quiet!

Oh no!

Strike high, strike low

Take your stance and slash!

Strike high, strike low

Take your stance and slash!

Strike high, strike low

Take your stance and slash!

Strike high, strike low

Take your stance and slash!

You smashed it, Kuttan.

Did I?

That's what everyone says.

What?

Once my emotions take over, I just can't control myself.

Then people see me and go, "Man, he absolutely smashed it!"

Strike high, strike low

Once I make up my mind, that's it.

Take your stance and slash!

My dear Kuttan…

Just calling before you kick off your wedding night.

Don't forget about tomorrow, okay?

Oh, I won't forget…

but it's not going to happen.

What?! Won't happen?

What the hell are you talking about?

I've waited six years for this.

- Don't screw me over, my man. - And I waited 36 years to get married!

I don't care what the hell you say.

What about the hit job I gave you?

How am I supposed to face the festival committee tomorrow?

Forget tomorrow…

- The real festival's at my place tonight. - Kuttan…

Tell them to come over if they want to see real fireworks!

What the hell are you saying, Kuttan--

Listen…

You sure about this?

Last time you went to make sure, you got yourself killed.

Don't try again. Just open the door.

Looks like you're hosting a festival.

Do you really need all this?

You said there were only four of them.

We do.

Forget four…

Even if four hundred show up, I'll burn them all!

You may begin.

Where the hell are they…

Can't see a thing…

Don't make a scene and embarrass me!

Oh, my…

I knew it was you, you horny little creep!

It was just a tiny mistake.

- Peeping's a mistake now? - No…

- Please… - His moustache hasn't even grown in

- and he's already making sleazy videos. - Ouch! Not my moustache!

Let go! Let go!

No! Don't let go!

Bro…

My tab…

Bloody cinematographer!

We've grown so close…

yet you never asked why I got married so late.

What you don't know…

but this whole village does, is that I have a past.

Who hasn't had a rough past?

Let's save that for later.

That's not it.

You need to know tonight.

There's a reason.

Some men are coming after you.

You know them.

Shekharan Kutti.

Don't worry.

They won't lay a finger on you tonight.

I am going to tear them apart.

When you see me beat them senseless,

don't think I'm some heartless monster.

So you need to know this.

There was a big shot in this town.

Kommadi Kariya.

He never went anywhere…

without two hulking goons at his side.

You know the paths in Onamthuruthu.

For Kommadi and his lackeys to pass,

Mom had to step aside.

But to my mother, Latha, Kommadi Kariya was just nobody.

Out of the way, you oversized buffoons!

Move aside!

Now tell me…

If some lowlife kicks your mother into a canal…

what's a son supposed to do?

Shouldn't I snap his spine in two?

So I did.

You!

I was locked up for a while.

That's why I got married so late.

Anti.

Believe me now?

I always believed you, Kuttan.

Fire!

Turn around.

Catch it!

Kuttan…

There's a whole festival crowd out there!

Want me to blast the rest too?

No need.

They've killed me over and over.

I'm unleashing all this rage tonight.

Good evening, Kuttan!

Ready for your wedding night?

What's that got to do with him?

You think their wedding night is over, Bheera?

No way, Tiger.

Our masked boys crashed it right on time.

- You! - What?

It's either going to be your funeral…

or his wedding night.

He'll celebrate one of them tonight for sure.

We'll see about that!

Let's see who wins!

Bring it on! Show me what you've got!

Charge!

You!

Go!

Oh, my God!

It's time to retire.

- Bheera! - Bye, Tiger.

Come on, Bheera!

I retired.

Bheera!

His damn sparklers!

So you were loaded up with fire and smoke!

Cool, baby!

Sharmila!

Come out.

I won.

Your Shekharan Kutti.

Do you wanna feel another killer?

Won't tell a go-getter From the demeanour

Do you wanna feel another killer?

Blow, feel a rub down, I'm such a giver

Bang! Wanna know a little sundown thriller?

The urge of one Who wanders through the flames

A mighty head Clad in an armour of blood

He knows the art of battle The tale of a brutal death

O fierce one! Draw your final breath

The tale of breaking through The battle formation is ready

The enemy ranks Have already fallen back

Before the machine's sharp edge Even the art of strategy is undone

For whoever stands against me A journey through hell awaits

When body and soul Are ripped apart and cast away

The funeral pyre becomes their refuge The final blaze of mortal life

Fear and mercy are worlds away

You picked the wrong man, Shekharan Kutti!

- Poor thing! - Load it!

Don't!

Kuttan!

Don't play!

Don't you dare play with me!

Slithering my way out I bring out the prowl

Simmering the revenge I'll hunt 'em all down

Shiver in ya spine Leave a terror in town

Winner in my blood Imma put on the crown

Wavin out the red flag Now you going down

Feedin' up the rage No more playing the clown

Keep doing all you shit We can settle it now

Fillin up the venom No more playing around

Feel a POW POW! Knock 'em out Feel the Gunna Gunna

RUR RUR! Imma a reign Feel the Knocka Knocka

Flames out! It's a roll Come n Banga Banga

Brain drop! Wanna taste Imma badde fella

Feel a POW POW! Knock 'em out Feel the Gunna Gunna

RUR RUR! Imma a reign Feel the Knocka Knocka

Flames out! It's a roll Come n Banga Banga

Brain drop! Wanna taste Imma badde fella

For whoever stands against me A journey through hell awaits

When body and soul Are ripped apart and cast away

The funeral pyre becomes their refuge The final blaze of mortal life

Fear and mercy are worlds away

For whoever stands against me A journey through hell awaits

When body and soul Are ripped apart and cast away

The funeral pyre becomes their refuge The final blaze of mortal life

Fear and mercy are worlds away

Sharmila…

If you're okay…

I'm ready to take you with me right now.

You have Shekharan Kutti's word.

This won't work.

Come on, my dear Sharmila…

Stop it, you two!

Sharmila!

Sharmila!

- Sharmila! - This guy…

Shut your trap and get out of here!

Get lost, you damn dog!

Sharmila…

Look at that beautiful green glow!

SURA HIT JOB CALLING

Oh, you're up!

You were asleep when I brought you your tea,

so I didn't wake you.

What's wrong?

Our wedding night was a blast, wasn't it?

Rambo Fireworks!

Due to a severe depression over the Bay of Bengal,

a red alert has been issued for eleven districts.

The government has declared a holiday

for all educational institutions.

Residents in areas prone to landslides and flooding

have been warned to stay alert.

Cyclone Bulbul is officially making landfall in Kerala.

The comet's gone.

Next comes Bulbul.

So what?

Whatever comes our way, I've got you, Kuttan.

Come here, you!

- Hello? - Bulbul really screwed me over, Kuttan.

The fireworks and festival are canceled.

I'm heading back.

That's all right.

Next time you come, the whole town will be shaking.

I'm cooking up something new.

Bulbul!
