Run.

Run fast.

Martin and Luther.

One from Nigeria and the other from Sudan.

They're the sort of men every drug cartel on the planet would pay anything to have.

Why?

Because the finest, top-shelf drugs on today's world market,

are all their inventions.

Well-educated and highly talented gentlemen.

What is he blabbering?

Their latest invention is…

Black Afghani.

A high-grade hash oil worth crores in the market.

We've received reports that they are smuggling it

into Kerala through the Kodaikanal-Munnar route.

The deal is with a SriLankan team in Kochi.

We have to grab them before that.

So, Officer Ullas Ullahannan…

Yes, sir.

Patrolling has to be tight. Maximum. 24×7.

-Okay? -Sure, sir.

-Sir. -Yes?

Other than the fact this Afghani chap is dark-skinned,

do we have anything else to go on,

his age, a missing tooth, a crooked grin… anything?

What? Dark?

You useless fellow.

"Black Afghani" is the international name for hash oil.

Cannabis extract. Got it?

-Oh, now I get it. -Idiot! Just sit there.

Who on earth made this fool an SP?

Next.

Ganja Karuppu.

A Tamilian, but long since settled here.

Once, the mafia king who ruled this entire area.

The police department's worst nightmare. The uncrowned king.

Awesome stuff.

-When will you pay up? -Soon.

-Bloody… -Boss.

Boss.

But today, he's only in second place here,

because a new star has risen, taking over his entire empire.

-Now he just obeys him. -Who is he?

It's Columbus…

Columbus.

Even Interpol doesn't know his name, his home, or any details.

No one even has a single photograph of him.

But there's one thing we do know...

as usual, there's a Malayali connection somewhere.

Obviously. In that case, his mother's house will be in Ottapalam.

-Why's that? -That's just how it usually is, isn't it?

Keep quiet.

Of everyone involved, he's the one who needs this deal to succeed the most.

Because it opens up a massive gateway for him, the Asian market.

If you'd taken his picture from the front instead of the back,

we could at least have seen his face, right?

So, gentlemen, get ready to grab these rascals…

and save our holy land. Jai Hind!

Hi, sir.

-Welcome. -Thank you.

So, have all the board members arrived?

No, one more is yet to come. Mr. Sebastian Xavier.

-Sir... -Hmm.

This guy is the limit.

-Sir, are you still standing here? -Why, should I lie down instead?

Sir, NAAC team has arrived. The meeting's started.

Oh really? I'll raise hell if they dare start it without me.

And your boss, your big principal madam,

just like her, I've got equal ownership of this college. Got it?

Tell them the meeting begins only when I walk in.

-Has the mating begun? -Yes, sir.

Good morning... Good morning everyone...

Good morning...

If you board members behave irresponsibly,

then what about the children?

They came early just to flatter you.

I'm the one who usually arrives first, aren't I?

-Sir, let's begin. -Fine.

Sir, this is the report of the programmes from last academic year,

and the details of what we've planned for the coming year.

See, madam, it's not what's written on paper that matters.

We need to see things for ourselves.

Good. That way, we can reach a decision quickly.

-What decision? -Sebastian, please!

Only because we're here does she call me by my name.

Back home, she's all respect and devotion, you should see it.

Oh, you didn't know? She's my wife.

Okay, let's move.

This is our FM station.

Each week, a different house takes charge.

If they turn on the radio while studying, how will the students focus?

…learning goes hand in hand with responsibility, creativity, and compassion…

-It's good. -Thank you, sir.

Welcome to Liberty College. We hope your day here is as

inspiring as the energy you'll find around every corner.

Nice.

Nice? What's "nice" about it?

Do you even know the effort these kids put in?

If college is a place for art, then copying is art as well.

Yet you're all trying to kill it.

-Sebastian, please… -Oh, what impeccable manners!

No one needs to fear them. They works for me.

-Want a coconut? -No thanks.

Only God knows how long this college will last.

That's why the income from this whole compound…

Hey, you!

Get me two tender coconuts.

-Don't pluck the dry one? -Yes, sir.

Along with academics, we also give priority to extracurricular activities here.

We have many talented artists here.

-Varun. -Yes, madam.

Come here.

Sir, this is Varun Ramamoorthy.

He's the college topper, and we're expecting a university-level rank from him.

-Nice to meet you. -Pleasure's mine, sir.

-You carry on. -Thank you, madam.

Respected guests and our principal…

She is my daughter.

Good morning to all.

She is very fond of journalism.

I have prepared a small video presentation for all of you.

She is also the NCC leader.

Do have a great watch.

This kind of nonsense should never be tolerated.

Only a good food culture can build a healthy generation.

Wherever this mess is located,

must complaint with the Food and Safety Department,

and immediate action should follow.

But this mess isn't somewhere else, it's right here in our own college.

She is my daughter, you know. I'll have this college sealed.

First settle the issues in your own home, then call us. Okay?

Thank you.

11

Oh no… look at all this thick fat!

My dear Chethan Kumar…

None of your relatives are coming here to drink this fatty milk, are they?

What?

-Mr. Chethan Kumar. -Yes, madam.

You're fired!

I'll tell him, madam. He is going to get an earful from me.

What! Idiot!

This guy?

We need to call for fresh tenders for the mess immediately.

Sure, madam.

Rascal!

Aunty... Oh no, I mean sister. I mean principal, please...

There is a limit to how much I tolerate.

If father and daughter are planning to take me down together…

Well, we two have always been one team.

-Let me tell both of you something. -Yes?

I don't need anyone's support, nor anyone's advice.

Yes, yes…

I'll live the way I want, and do whatever I feel like.

Hey, you...

Before you start advising others, check if you're even worthy of it.

Yes, that's right. She meant you.

-I meant both of you. -Yes.

Eh!

Aida…

What?

Nothing.

Sir, all of them are living cramped inside these bamboo huts.

Where else do you want them to stay, at the Hyatt?

No, sir. That's exactly why things have become such a mess.

What do you mean?

I heard everything was rolled into one big lump and flung it into the air.

Look, I don't see any big problem here.

The kids are just running around and playing.

Eh!

Was this the work of one elephant, or did a whole truckload of elephants come through?

The great Padayappa walked in, so of course it turned out like this.

All that build-up. Who is this guy?

He's the village elder, Velan.

They say that when Padayappa goes into a rage,

only Lord Padayappa himself can control him.

The truth about Murugan is much bigger than hearsay.

These village elders love to exaggerate.

Anna, whatever it is, let me investigate first.

Then we'll decide whether it was Basha or Padayappa who walked in.

Is there no one educated in this place?

The only one who's gone out and studied anything is Chethan Kumar.

Chethan Kumar?

The elder's son. Studied up to second standard.

That's right.

His real name is Chathan. He changed it later.

Don't even talk about that thieving dog.

If he comes here one more time, I'll beat him to death.

Anna, I'm a police officer. Don't say things like that in front of me.

Forgive me, sir. He's a lazy good-for-nothing.

What's the story here?

Sir, long ago in the days of the kings,

during some war, the king of this land was badly wounded.

-There was a king here? -Yes, sir, there was a king here.

When he was on the verge of death,

they brought him here and treated him. That's how his life was saved.

In return, he granted this village and about 200 acres around it,

tax-free for life, to the people here and their children.

That's quite a fortune!

-Remember the old palm-leaf documents? -Yes.

The king wrote all this down on that palm leaf.

-But that palm leaf… -The palm leaf…

This Chathan thought it was just an old leaf

and used it to light up a barbecue, and burned it, sir.

Who keeps something that important on a flimsy bit of palm leaf anyway?

That king was a real crook.

He tricked me and my grandfather.

-Hey, Chatha. -No, I am Chethan Kumar.

After all, he's his father's son, no wonder. Then what happened?

After that, they threw him out of here.

If it were up to me, I'd have shot him dead.

That's not all. On his way out

he even stole the royal seal and bangle the king had gifted them

Is this the only specimen you produced, or is there a whole batch?

I pawned it off to your Ganja Karuppu,

and that's how I got this canteen in the auction.

That's what I came to tell you.

Go get that thing back as soon as you can and return it to the elder.

Maybe then he'll take you in again.

If I lose my job on top of that, what will I do then?

You only have yourself to blame for that

Drag him away.

Why is there such a rush in this canteen?

Move aside!

Don't stand there refereeing, pull him off, man!

No!

Move. Hey Benny, stop it.

First learn to be a good human being. Then become a big, educated engineer.

What happened?

My dear, the fish fry I'd kept to enjoy at the very end,

this damn dog came and gobbled it up.

Now all I'll taste is plain rice, not the fish. You get what I'm saying?

Benny Joseph Puthenkurishu, come to my office immediately.

The old lady's shrieking. Coming.

Hey, you ate my fish...

All this drama wasn't for the mess fish, you idiot.

Ask him.

-Give it. -What?

Did they give you a TC or a suspension, what was it?

For now, just a final warning.

Oh, and what was the offer in return?

Here… the college auditorium renovation fund.

Of course.

Do you remember our family name?

"Puthenkurish". The new Cross

A son worthy of our name, not my claim, but your principal's.

Is it my fault she doesn't have a grand family name to parade before others?

I'm not fit to advise you, son.

If you know that, then why do you keep coming?

Which father wouldn't want to hear others speak well of his son?

Is there renovation going on at home now?

No, why?

I thought that's why you shifted to the secretary's house.

Eh!

Yesterday was my mother's memorial.

Did you go to church?

And then you come here to advise me.

-I am gonna rip you.. -I'll go complain to madam.

Bloody snitch…

What's going on?

He's the one who snitches everything that happens in class,

and the principal caught me.

Yes, I'll keep on reporting.

That's exactly what I've been assigned to do.

What are you, nursery kids or what?

You're in college, act with a little maturity.

Benny, if you hadn't spoken up,

we'd have torn him to shreds and turned him into a lesson for everyone.

Come on, man. Seriously.

Hey Lalu.

Varun…

At least say thanks, man.

Benny, please don't keep following me like this. Just let me be.

If someone hears this, they'll think I'm trying to flirt with you.

Varun, don't just bury yourself in books. Go out, talk to people.

Try making some friends.

Otherwise you'll regret it later.

Benny, my family sent me here to study,

not to make friends or ruin my life.

I'll decide how I want to live.

I don't need help or advice from any "rowdy," got it?

Rowdy, is it?

What if this rowdy helps you propose to Aida?

Come to my room tonight. I've got a solution for everything there.

Benny… Benny!

Aida...

What?

Only if you want to talk to Aida...

Varun, the principal wants to meet you.

Finally sobered up?

What exactly happened yesterday?

Aida, I…

-How long has this love been happening? -Love?

I got the hint from the way you look at me and the way you talk.

But I didn't expect you to show up at my house.

I came to your house? Oh my God!

"Came?" Do you even realise what all you did yesterday?

You don't remember anything? Were you on drugs or what?

Drugs?!

I… Aida…

I'm really sorry. I made a huge mistake.

I'm really, really sorry. Aida, please talk to madam, try to sort this out somehow.

This could ruin my entire life. Please, Aida, please.

Don't worry. Mom doesn't know. I'm the one who called you here.

Yes.

Thank you so much, Aida. Thank you so much.

I'll never forget this favour.

Thank you.

Jai Hanumankind!

Hey you!

Varun, let me make one thing very clear, no matter what you think.

You're a very selfish man.

A man who lives only for himself, like you do,

not just me, no girl will ever love him.

I've already spent my life with two people who are the very definition of selfishness.

I've seen it to the maximum, and I've suffered enough because of it.

So I'm telling you now, this story ends here.

No more circling around me with your feelings.

No, Aida…

I won't come after you again.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

Good morning...

Liberty…

Benny

Okay, Aida. As we discussed, we'll meet later. Thank you.

Oh no, that moron is going to get me killed.

An important announcement for all Libertians.

Our beloved principal, Sheela Zacharia,

who migrated to the high ranges for wheat and milk powder hand outs,

this one is for you, it's time for you to quit India.

Who's that?

Yes, it's time for you to leave.

The bus you need to catch is parked near the back gate of the college auditorium.

And Sebastian sir, my champ… You look like a gentleman,

but with some of your antics,

you're exactly like Alfalfa from The Little Rascals.

Am I wrong?

But your father, K. T. Xavier...

he was a very good fellow.

Principal Sheela Zacharia polished K T Xavier,

till his photo got framed on the wall.

The next song is dedicated for you.

At first, we thought it was just the usual work stress, madam.

But this is serious, madam.

What is it, doctor?

Should we call the boy's parents?

-First we should call the police. -What?

But why?

There is a clear presence of THC in his body fluids.

In short, the boy lying there is stoned on weed.

Let's flick and sell some rubber sheet before my dad comes.

There's no use telling you anything.

-Benny. -Dude,

now I'm clearly a free man. Completely free.

Why didn't you go with your father?

Tell that old man to go mind his own business.

I've got a solid house here in my mother's name.

I'm going to stay there for a few days.

So what about you, are you coming?

One word to the principal…

-Please... -Come on...

Fine, I won't.

Varun, what are you doing there?

Go to your class.

We'll talk at home, okay? Okay.

Varun…

I told you to go.

Otherwise I'll be forced to take action against you.

He's not going anywhere.

Do whatever you want.

You…

Get lost from here.

You've got a hen pecked husband, talk to him like that, not me.

I'll spill everything, mind you.

Security!

Call the police!

Call them. I'll shut your business down today.

You need students to study

and people like this Johnny Sins here to run this institution. Call them.

I'll give the police the names and details of everyone whom I ever sold drugs.

Come on, call the cops.

Call them. Don't you have their number?

Hey Varun, what? Did he leave? Was he here?

Listen, you can come to my house anytime. No one there will stop you, okay?

Love you…

So what's this about, sir? Why did Madam call this meeting?

-Excuse me, sir. -Yes, Varun?

Sir, I was asked to leave these books here.

-Put them inside. -Thank you, sir.

-Good morning. -Good morning, madam.

Let me get straight to the point.

I've received information that our college students, and even some teachers,

are using weed and other drugs.

From reliable sources.

-So we must take action. -Say clearly what you mean.

Stop mumbling and come to the point.

All our students, teaching and non-teaching staff, including myself,

we're all going to take a drug test.

We didn't get you, madam.

If someone uses drugs or weed, traces of it remain in their body for days,

sometimes even weeks.

By doing this test, we can find out who has used it. Once they're caught…

they won't see the inside of this college again, or any other college in their life.

See? She alone has dragged this college to this state.

Don't bring politics into this.

This is about the college's survival.

-I don't care if it survives. -Then get out.

-What did you say? -I said, you get out.

Oh, so you just want me gone so you can rule this place alone?

Not going to happen. Never.

If I don't teach you a lesson for this, then let my name go to the dogs.

I've already taken care of that. You just don't know it yet.

What did you say? You...

-Sir, sir, please... -Let go of me.

You'd better watch your back.

Sorry.

Today is Wednesday. Coming Monday we'll conduct the drug test.

This is my decision, and it is final.

Dude…

You came to see me!

Missed you, man. What about you?

You…

You assole…screwed my life, his damn weed, I will kill you.

Just tell me what happened.

My life is finished.

What happened?

You. You're the reason for all this.

What did I do?

Weren't you the one who caused a ruckus using drugs in the college?

Everything started the day you fainted at college.

This mess is just because of your drug use, man.

Hey, I know how to live my own life. I don't need his advice, okay?

Live however you want. Why are you ruining my life?

I didn't force you to take it.

You wanted it, you took it.

Don't dump your failure on someone else's head. People like you always do that.

You are such a bookworm.

You'll never understand the value of friendship, or humanity.

What did I ever ask you for you to talk like this?

That's exactly what I'm saying too. If you made a mistake, own it.

That's what I'm saying, if you make a mistake, admit it.

Fine, I admit it. I made a mistake. Now there's only one way out.

-What's that? -The way is…

-We have... -We…

We have to think together and find a solution.

Dear God, my problems started the day I met this idiot.

I can't handle this.

If I say something, will you get angry?

What's it?

Yesterday... while lying right there,

-I peed on it. -Yuck!

It's okay, it should be dry by now.

I am leaving.

Dude, dude, wait…

We'll find a solution. There is a solution.

-I am leaving. -Come in.

-You? That's enough. -Sit there.

Yuck!

Then sit here.

Don't panic. Lemme think.

Tuesday, Saturday…

A fast day…

-Got it? -Nah. Bad idea.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12...

I'm absolutely getting kicked out for sure.

Got it.

-Varun. -What?

If you get caught in the drug test now, what will the punishment be?

-What kind of question is that? Dismissal. -Exactly.

And not just that, you won't get admission in any other college.

Right.

What if we drag someone else in with you?

Dismissal.

-What if we drag in five more people? -Dismissal.

Fifty?

What do you have in mind?

What if we drag in the whole college? Will everyone be dismissed?

That…

No.

So this is the only idea we have.

We spike everyone in the college with a mild dose.

If everyone is dismissed, how will they run the college, huh?

-Benny. -Tell me.

You should consult a psychiatrist immediately.

Bullshit.

You're not thinking like a normal person. You're out of your mind.

Then tell me your idea.

I do have another idea. You know what? Your crush, Aida, we kidnap her.

Then we threaten to kill her, if they do the test. Or let's bomb that place.

My dear, that's what I'm saying, think it through.

Knowing her nature, she'll definitely do the test.

And once she does, you're finished for sure.

Oh no…

If a few other kids get caught along with you, what's your problem?

Maybe something was wrong with the test,

or maybe they consumed something not knowing it was spiked…

At the least, they won't take harsh action, out of embarrassment.

But how do we give it to everyone?

Food. We'll mix it in the food. Everyone eats.

But we'll need stuff for that.

I've got a regular guy I buy from. I'll call him.

Damn robe…

-Got him? -I will.

He's really scared of me.

I don't think this will work.

I can't handle all this pressure.

I'll just go somewhere and die.

What happened? Why all of a sudden?

We may have our issues.

But the kids shouldn't suffer for it.

What the kids need now is counselling, therapy, motivation, all that.

There's someone perfect for it.

If it's okay with you, I can call him tomorrow itself.

For the first time, Sebastian has said something good.

Let's do it.

Okay.

But he's a bit expensive. We'll have to pay about five hundred thousand.

Doesn't matter.

-It's for the kids. -Yes, yes.

The amount is fine.

Unlocked?

Don't make noise.

Now, where do I you find it?

Where did the list go?

-Hey! -Oh my God…

What are you doing here? Tell me.

You?

Look at him, creeping around like a crook. What are you doing here, boy?

-Nothing, nothing… -Speak up, you fool.

Lalu…

Oh God…

Potassium carbonate. Potassium carbonate.

Professor Benny. Professor Benny.

He's something else. Looks like such a respectable guy outside. I'll expose you.

Lalu, don't betray me.

I will really screw you.

I made a mistake. Please don't tell anyone.

We're not going easy on you.

So this is how he get first rank,

-high on weed. -No.

Others here, blaze it all

and still can't write their own roll number, after 1 puff.

No, listen, it's not like that. I made one mistake.

In my whole life, I've never done this before. Please.

-This is a God-given chance. -Please don't.

We'll break you. You were such a show off around this campus.

Right?

If that's the case, why are you two here?

I'll also tell them, that you came here too.

That's why I've kept quiet so far.

I was wondering when he'd ask that.

Look, bro, whatever brought you here, it's for the same reason we came.

But even after all this time,

we haven't been able to take a single thing from this list.

Why's that?

Because some idiots didn't write what's what on these bottles.

How are we supposed to find anything?

That's why they say to pay attention in class.

Really? And how much have you found so far?

-I was talking about us. -Oh, give me the list.

Accomplished.

So you do know how to work together. Nice.

Okay then, let's start the game.

Game?

He'll say all sorts of things. Don't bother asking.

He might pour some acid on your face, no proof of sense left.

-That's true. -Isn't it?

Come let's go

It's one of those.

How is it?

Looks good.

Bro, looks like you're all set. Guess you do this often, huh?

We're soldiers on the battlefield. Anything can happen anytime.

-So always be ready for everything. -Yes.

Will this work?

If you stay quiet for a bit, everything will work. You do it, dude.

Okay boys, let's start the show.

He's not what he looks like.

I know this part, it's quite easy.

Don't eat it.

-With this… -Yeah, thank you.

-Is this what you mix it with? -This is my vodka.

Hold it.

The reaction has started.

One, two..

Okay boys, once we add this, our product is ready.

May I?

Oh no!

This is nothing like what it's supposed to be.

-Messed up the formula? -Maybe.

Isn't it a success?

What's that? A ding-dong.

Edison failed ten thousand times before he invented the bulb.

To hell with Edison's...

He didn't die in a bulb blast.

He died an honourable, natural death.

So what now?

Face the reality.

All that's left are his cross… and that dangling ding-dong.

It's my dad's ding-dong.

Dear friends, this is down right fascism.

No one can touch our bodies or

run tests on us without our consent,

no matter how high their post.

-What's his problem, sir? -He's just messed in the head, that's all.

To endure this kind of harassment…

In a hospital, do you know how much it costs for a blood test?

Here you can test it for free.

…this is Kerala.

If they think their hooliganism can go on here forever, we will never allow it.

We are far stronger than that.

Zindabad! I have a few things to say, move aside.

For no real reason, that principal madam threw me out of this college.

Didn't she throw you out for running a filthy mess?

Did your channel fire you for spreading filthy news?

These media people are hunting me.

Inquilab zindabad!

-Who is he? -He's that elder's son, Chethan Kumar.

Oh… the guy who burned the king's decree. So this is him.

We're not scared of the police… Principal, resign!

Let them allow to water down the milk…

asking for extra portion mustn't be allowed!

Hello? What! They were thrown off a cliff?

Was anyone hurt?

Canteen workers zindabad!

Fine, I'll come now.

-Come here. -What is it?

Bro, the van with the medical team,

Padayappa rammed it and knocked it into the gorge.

Who, Rajinikanth?

No, Dhanush. Idiot, "Rajinikanth" is what we call a local Padayappa here.

Padayappa is the name of a wild elephant in this area.

Oh!

So they wont be coming today.

No, they are not.

-Right. -That works.

They only skipped today. they will come soon.

Think of it as fate postponed for a couple of days.

-It's fine… sir, it's fine, let it be. -Eh?

But we've got a chance now. It's a God-given opening.

-What's the plan? -Same plan.

We mix the stuff into the food.

We'll buy the stuff from the same guy Benny usually buys from.

-We're screwed. -What?

Bro, we always get our stuff from Benny himself.

Oh, shit.

In the end, you had to come to me, huh?

Is it happening?

It's not "is it happening" it's already done. Follow me.

My regular dealer…

I called my regular dealer.

We'll get it tonight. There's some wedding or something in his colony,

so have to meet him there.

In certain situations, he's good at improvising.

Well, you said it.

-Thank you. -Shut up.

Did you at least bring money to buy the stuff?

Yes, I brought it.

Then buy a bit extra. We have to give it to everyone, right?

-Yes. -This is it?

What, is this to buy snuff? You won't even get a proper single buzz with this.

-This is all we have. -This is it?

Poor people. Come on.

799 This is from my dad's pocket money.

What are you waiting for? Take it.

Don't backtrack now. You assured that everything is sorted.

It's not that there's no stuff, you just won't get it today.

Then when will we get it?

That I don't know.

What kind of shit show is this?

-Could have arranged the stuff today, but… -But what?

-Don't you read the newspapers? -Then go ahead, read it to us.

Tell us what's going on.

-Columbus is here. -Columbus… who?

The big don, Columbus.

It's secret news. I'm telling you because I you doubt me, don't leak it outside.

Just say it and stop building suspense.

Black Afghani is pure hash oil.

-Worth crores. -Okay…

That hash oil belongs to Columbus. But Ganja Karuppu stole it and stashed it away.

Ganja Karuppu!

Columbus has come here to take it back.

Who is this Ganja Karuppu?

He's a local underworld guy here.

With all that heat going on, I can't score you any stuff.

-Can you get it tomorrow? -I really don't know.

Not with all this mess happening here.

-Dasan, come here. -Coming.

-The guy's gone. -What do we do now?

Come.

-Come, man. -Where?

Let's go see how this plays out. Come.

-Why did you switch off the jeep? -Shut up and get down.

Is he a creature of the night?

Can I come now?

Where are we, bro?

-I'll tell you once I am back. -Where are you going?

Lalu, could this be Benny's family estate?

Why did he go inside?

-Will you stay quiet? -Shouldn't someone ask.

Who's there?

Who is it?

Hey, who's that?

Hey, you!

Stop there!

Stop right there!

You run, I'll come behind you with the vehicle.

That ain't Benny, it's Aida.

Aida ?

Why did she go through these thickets?

He didn't die, look, he's coming!

Just chill, man! Chill!

Get the car.

Stop there!

Bro… Black Afghani.

What Afghani?

Isn't This that stuff Dasan said was worth crores?

Yeah, man.

Why on earth did you have to pick this up?

-It looked fun, bro! -It's your “fun” that's chasing us now.

Is it?

Oh God… we're in deep trouble. These smugglers are going to hack us down.

-But why was Aida there? -You… shut up.

Come on, everyone. Charge!

Crash into them, don't think about anything else!

Drive faster, quickly!

Shivanna, faster.

865 Smash them, crush them!

Stamp them down!

Oh no…

Who the hell are you?

Whoever it is, mark him. Shivanna, slice him up.

-I think that's Columbus. -Who?

Where is Black Afghani?

It isn't with us, boss. The college kids took it.

Get the vehicle. Get the vehicle!

-Go fast. -Go, go, go!

Go on, lets sit there.

I'm still tense, just thinking about last night.

My stomach's on fire.

In Idukki, the Anti-Narcotics Cell team led by Officer Anwar Ali

raided the hideout of the dreaded criminal known as Ganja Karuppu last night.

They seized drugs worth several lakhs,

but Ganja Karuppu and his gang escaped with the costly hash oil called Black Afghani.

Anwar Ali told People's Live that the raid was based on a tip-off

from an anonymous informant about Ganja Karuppu's gang.

That's her for sure. Aida.

Columbus must have come here for that Black Afghani.

Right. Exactly.

You think he'll spare us now?

We saw him finish a guy there last night, didn't we?

Yeah, but we don't even have the stuff. Benny took it, remember?

Do they know that?

They saw all of us there together last night.

For all we know, they may have picked him up already.

And the guy who said he'd show up this morning with Black Afghani,

-has he shown his face? -True. You're right.

All students are requested to assemble in the auditorium immediately.

Now what fresh trouble is this?

Oh my God!

Good morning. As you all know, your semester exams will begin in two weeks.

The mental stress and pressure of exams must not affect your studies.

So, to ease your frustrations

and help you with personality development and career guidance,

we have with us today the well-known psychologist Mr Kolambanattukuzhi Sunny.

I heartily welcome Mr. Sunny onto the stage.

Dude, Columbus!

Isn't he the same guy who came with a beard yesterday?

Hello.

-Sir. -What is it?

Sir, some fellow broke into my house last night and broke my leg.

What?

He was asking questions about your college.

Sir, please be careful.

In connection with the exams, I'd like to conduct a special counselling session.

Those students who are interested in attending, please raise your hands.

Are we supposed to raise our hands now?

I'm not raising mine.

Okay.

Raise it, man. Come on, raise your hand. Seriously, put it up.

Now, those students who did not raise their hands may please come forward.

Told you.

It's for them that I'm holding this special counselling session.

So please come forward.

Go, go.

Please don't go.

Get up. Move it. Go.

Form a line and come forward.

I can sense some extraordinary brilliance standing in front of me.

But there's something burning inside you that you want to say and you just can't.

I can help you all. Okay?

Don't show even the slightest reaction.

Columbus.

You don't know Columbus?

Christopher Columbus. He was a sailor.

He has a famous quote.

“It's easy to find someone or something once someone else has already found it."

Which means…

it's very easy to discover something once somebody has discovered it before.

-Name? -Rihan.

Rihan Shoukath Ali.

Rihan Shoukath Ali, you look handsome, boy.

What's your name?

-Lalu. -Lalu?

-Lalu K. Mathai. -Lalu K. Mathai… Lalu K.M.

Step this side.

So, these are the boys who need my special care, guys.

From now on, my journey will be with them.

Please.

Thank you.

Sir… if that's the case, then Varun Ramamoorthy…

he needs this counselling too. You should call him as well.

Backstabbing jerk.

Varun Ramamoorthy, come. Join us.

-Why, dude? -Why not?

What rubbish are you talking?

I swear I wasn't the one who suggested him.

Mr Sebastian, for the first time in your life you've done something good.

Don't be the one to ruin it.

If you weren't the one who recommended him, how did he get here with your letter?

I really liked him.

The students like him a lot too. And he's doing this service free of cost.

-Free of cost? -Yes.

Oh. Now I see.

So the plan was to loot money in his name, right?

And Mr Sunny refused to play along.

So now you've cooked up some story to throw him out. Isn't that it?

Well done.

Did you say anything about me to Sheela? To our principal?

For your own health, it's better if you don't speak against me, sir.

Didn't you call your friend?

I hear someone had broken that poor fellow's hands and legs last night.

It's a world full of scoundrels, sir.

It's not meant for good souls like us.

But don't you worry, sir.

We'll see.

So the elephant's afraid of jeeps, is it?

I'll explain later.

-Stop talking nonsense and move. -Sorry, sir.

-Mr Ullahannan. -Sir.

You're a brave man.

-I'm really proud of you. -Thank you.

Driving that jeep so daringly at the elephant… I can barely believe it was you.

Tell me, Ullahannan,

where did you learn that if you keep honking, the elephant will run?

That's just local wisdom, sir.

Oh, that's good.

Anyway, after what happened today the government has decided one thing.

Padayappa has to be tranquillised.

And then?

Then he'll be taken to the elephant sanctuary in Konni.

Nice idea.

-But who's going to shoot him? -Eh?

For me, I don't even remember the last time I shot at anything.

No need for you to remember any of that now, Ullahannan.

They've already chosen the shooter.

-He'll be here in two days. -Sir.

Ullahannan, you'll be the team leader.

Sir… me?

But then who'll track down Black Afghani, sir?

You've already done enough on that front, haven't you?

We're done worrying about that.

A special squad is coming from the Centre to investigate it.

The Central Anti-Narcotics Cell.

When you hear who their chief is, you'll be shocked.

-Who is it, sir? -Anwar Ali.

-Good Lord… -What?

-Anwar Ali sir? -You know him?

No… then why are you jumping just hearing his name?

Just giving the right reaction to what you said, sir.

Idiot. -Sir.

Yes, the very same Anwar Ali who turned Mumbai into a drug-free city overnight.

Got it?

Overnight? No chance…

Well, two nights then. Either way, he cleaned up the city.

But if anyone thinks he's coming here just to uproot a few weeds,

they're mistaken.

Then what?

Come closer. This is highly confidential. Not a word leaves this room.

No, sir.

He's here too.

Sir, please don't drag it out with all this build-up.

Columbus. He's in Kerala as well.

Then it's all over, sir.

Exactly what I'm saying,

let's just take care of the elephant, the dogs, the chickens, whatever.

The men from the Centre will come, do what they have to do, and leave.

We don't get involved in any of it. That's all. Now you can go.

-Sir… -Yes?

-Ullahannan. -Sir.

Come here. Where's the emblem on your cap? The emblem, man.

Oh…

It must've fallen off somewhere during my fight with Padayappa, sir.

You idiot! How dare you come and stand in front of me like this?

English now?

Find it immediately. Or I'll have you fired.

Who needs this bloody job anyway!

-Sir… -Get out!

Screw your "get out." -Bloody…

Who wants this mangy job, really?

He changes his colours faster than a chameleon. Idiot.

An elephant that shits steel, huh?

-I hope I've made myself clear. -Yes.

Straight to the point, where is Black Afghani?

Tell me. Where is Black Afghani?

Sir, we really don't know what you're talking about.

I don't want to create a scene here.

If I get what I came for, I'll leave without troubling anyone.

So please tell me where it is.

We don't know, sir.

Can't hear a damn thing.

Could he be my wife's secret lover?

Very well could be. I'm going to watch every move he makes.

You and Benny went to Ganja Karuppu's place last night

and stole Black Afghani. I know that much.

-Sir, that… -Hmm?

Don't bother saying it's with Benny. I went to his house last night.

No Benny there. No Black Afghani either.

So I know it's with you.

Where is it?

-Sir, it's not with us. -It is with us.

What are you…

But we're not giving it.

Have you lost your mind…

He can't do a thing to us inside this college.

If they find out who he really is,

the police will be here in a second to drag him away.

That's why he's crawling around here with a fake identity.

And if we inform the police that he's here,

we'll get a reward too. So nothing to worry

Don't play tricks with us, okay?

What?

Could've said this earlier, man. Keeping his lips sealed.

Why are you always like this?

Oh, is that it?

-Varun is absolutely right. -Exactly.

Then I'll simply tell them you're my agents.

That you're the ones supplying drugs in this college on my behalf.

Oh no.

And that giving you Black Afghani was also part of that.

Dear God…

Suppose I tell the police that?

Then we're finished too.

Which means all of us are stuck in the same boat.

I don't get it.

My dear sir, we don't want your Afghan or Pakistani specials.

We just need a bit of regular powder.

That's all we went there to take.

The rest of it was all Benny's idea. -Exactly.

Why do you need so much “regular powder"?

Oh no…

You took it for that?

Oh, my patron saint Pablo!

You idiots, do you know what that's worth in the international market?

Crores. And you just want to dilute it in water like it's nothing.

Do you even know what happens if someone takes just a little too much of that stuff?

Still want to play in the water?

Sir, please… help us out.

Me?

Fine. Only if you want Black Afghani.

Kid…

Who do you think I am?

That doesn't count here, sir.

You want Black Afghani. We want out of this mess.

The moment we're safely out, you'll get your Black Afghani.

I'll give you another product. Still a drug.

You give me back Black Afghani in return.

Go preach the sermon elsewhere.

Sir, this ain't something we can pull off.

It was God himself that sent you before us today.

You and us, we can all move forward together from here.

If I help you, what guarantee do I have you'll give me Black Afghani?

Sir if you help us, what guarantee do you have that we will give you Black Afghani?

-Right? -No.

That's exactly what I'm asking too.

Screw up at the crucial moment,

if we hand over Black Afghani, what's the guarantee you will help us?

We'll do one thing.

First we need to know if you can pull this off.

If you can slip this stuff to at least a few students here,

then you get the Afghani.

Not just a few. Let's give it to everyone here, huh?

Fine. Let it be.

Only after that…

-Will we meet again. -Done.

Okay.

Now you're going to see what Chethan has in store.

Easy… spread your legs now.

Before I even start peeing, where's that sound coming from?

Who's that over there beyond this wall? Narayani?

Is this a competition?

Here you go.

Beat that!

Oi, pass me the goods.

Ew, he's after my goods now.

Were you trying to flirt with me?

Anyway, love is love, at least show me your face.

It's been ages since I jumped over a fence.

Wait… is that Santa Claus?

Run!

-Will you pee for me, then? -Get lost.

-You get lost. -Huh?

-Get lost. -Just go, man.

I was finally in a nice flow and he ruined it.

Pass me the goods.

Damn network…

Hello?

Hello?

Could this be a gift for her?

With this…

The international kingpin "Columbus" is in Kerala.

After the raid on Ganja Karuppu's gang in Idukki, shocking new details are emerging.

Sources say the international drug trafficker Columbus

has now arrived in Kerala.

According to Anti-Narcotics Cell intelligence,

Columbus is suspected to have worked closely with Ganja Karuppu's gang.

It's alleged that he controlled the sale and distribution

of the premium "Black Afghani" hash oil.

-Four tea. -No.

No tea.

Milk tea is misery, boy. Strong black tea is bliss.

Everyone, drink up.

One tea, please.

-No tea for you today? -Banana fritters and tea, what a combo.

We've stopped having milk tea from today.

-This ain't milk tea, this is black tea. -Huh?

-So, no milk at all? -No milk today.

Anyway, milk isn't good for you. Black tea's a bliss.

Hey, why aren't you serving milk tea?

-The milk's all curdled, sir. -Curdled?

What, is it not allowed to curdle?

Damn Curd.

So what do we do with it now?

We'll just throw it out. What else?

-Make a milkshake, give it to the students? -That won't do, man.

Exactly.

Yeah, put it back on.

Oi, who's that?

It's me.

Shiva, is it?

Would have gotten trashed now.

Didn't I tell you I'd be coming today?

Did anyone ask you to sneak in like a thief?

Should I show up with lights, music, and a dance to hide out?

Oi, Shiva…

-Boss. -Did you get the job done?

Big problem, boss. Anwar Ali raided our godown and our lab.

He's seized all our stock.

He's taken a good number of our men too.

He's even got information about this place. Best we move out from here.

What about Columbus?

No word. We've no idea where he's been since that night.

We're heading into the deep forest.

That old powerhouse?

Yes. That's where this Ganja Karuppu first started.

We'll start up from there again.

No one knows that place.

And no one dares come there.

Oi, where's Martin Luther?

Inside.

Tell him to make a fresh batch of Black Afghani.

Make him agree, even if you've got to beat him into it. Say it.

You tell him.

Okay.

Yo, man.

Make Black Afghani.

Make? How, why, where?

Give.

Make Black Afghani, give.

You want us to make new Black Afghani?

No, no, no.

Black Afghani, give, give.

What the hell is he talking about?

See that? They said they won't give.

We'll make it for you, man. We'll make Black Afghani.

-How did you figure that? -Can't you see it in their face?

Don't beat us, man. We'll make it.

-Ask them again? -Give Black Afghani.

We'll make it for you.

Shut up!

We'll make you the drug, we'll give you.

I know how to make them talk.

Get them in the jeep.

Leave us alone!

-Pack up everything. We’re leaving. -All right, boss.

Once everything is done and dusted, we'll settle a few scores.

Columbus… Anwar Ali…

What's that boy's name again?

-Benny, boss. -Eh?

Benny.

Benny… hmm.

And the others?

Don't know their names, just that they're from that college.

We need to get hold of Benny as fast as we can.

Assign a few men for that.

-Right. -Go, go.

Benny, you twat…

Oi, where's Benny?

If Columbus spiked the kids with his stash,

and then came asking us for Black Afghani, what the hell are we going to give him?

God, do I now have to invent ways not to hand out drugs?

If he comes asking for Black Afghani

and we start mumbling and dodging the question,

he'll unleash a bloody tsunami here.

The only reason he's tip-toeing around now is because he needs us.

If we finds out that we are playing him, you'll see three corpses floating here.

Go on… go to college, go to class, study, become enlightened.

-Let's go. -Stop scaring man.

Scared the shit out of me.

Yes. Still haven't got it.

As long as we're on campus there's a limit to what I can do.

And they know that, that's why they're playing games.

But today, I'm going to reach a decision.

-No… -What?

You must take this as a great opportunity, man.

But madam…

Sir said you seem a bit disturbed.

It's okay.

Take a little break, go out, clear your head

and come back. Everything will be fine.

Please, ma'am.

Look, Varun, you're our rank hopeful.

I can't risk that. You must go.

But madam, this is Columbus...

Columbus?

Gun.

What Columbus?

Tell her.

I'll tell her.

There's this song in the film Jeans, "Columbus, Columbus".

Tell sir to play it on the way. We love it.

"Columbus, Columbus" … of course.

-So can I take them? -Yeah, yeah, of course. All yours.

Thank you, ma'am.

Madam, Varun's your rank hope, why can't you just spare us?

Sebastian sir… all set.

Hop out, come on.

Get out, Varun, hurry up.

-What's happening? -What happened to your head, sir?

Oh that… I slipped and my head took the hit.

-Is that so? -How many stitches?

Quite a few stitches.

Good morning. Nothing serious, I hope, sir?

Sir, come on.

We will drop you, sir.

We're here for you, sir.

Why walk when we can take you, sir?

Scared, are you?

I ain't coming.

Forgive me, O Lord! It's my first time, you know.

We have such fun when we're out with these kids.

-No, thanks. -We can really hit it out there...

This guy groped me.

Then hit him, go on, give him a proper thrashing!

Hit him!

What did I do to deserve this?

Do you know who I am?… ouch!

Oi, listen to me, I'll tell you exactly what happened.

God, my back hurts.

If he's my wife's lover, he should be jumping into my compound.

What's he doing jumping into here? Something's fishy.

205 Rohan and 210 Varun.

Oh no…

What on earth is this?

Dude, wait, what's going on?

Get off me.

Don't, don't hit me!

It wasn't me, it wasn't me!

Move, move, move, all of you, move aside.

Let me see your face.

Sir? What are you doing here, sir?

I came to see if the children are all right.

Don't worry, sir, everyone here is fine.

Has Sebastian sir started stealing now? Dear me…

-Have all the tough guys gone? -Yes, they've gone.

Today I'm going to...

Who's that?

Move, move, out of the way, out you go!

Move, man!

Him?

When did he sneak in?

Could I have a glass of water.

The international don, Columbus.

Hiding under the bed at night.

Come on, say it.

Say it, go on.

These meth cooks have turned out to be nothing but white elephants.

What are they saying?

They won't hand it over, they're making that perfectly clear.

We'll give it to you, man!

I'm here about the complaint from Benny's father, that his son has gone missing.

All I need to know is this,

after Benny was expelled, has he come back to this college or contacted anyone here?

No, sir.

Did Benny have anyone close to him here?

I mean friends… girlfriends… that sort of thing?

No, sir.

And how can you be so sure of that?

What is going on here, madam? Your college is full of problems.

A student here with links to a ganja cartel…

…and he disappears.

The principal's husband is caught jumping his own college hostel wall at night,

and students end up trashing him.

None of this adds up at all.

These useless idiots are ruining this institution's reputation.

Recognised me. Lemme hide.

-Excuse me. -Busted.

I am so busted.

He is so busted, man.

Hello, sir.

Sir, today's generation chases drugs more than anything else.

Do you know how many kids are addicted?

It's terrifying, sir.

Absolutely true.

We're losing an entire generation.

We need people like you to pull them back.

Your work is truly commendable, sir.

Thanks.

And do you know who's behind all of this?

Who, sir?

A man called Columbus.

He caused all this chaos and is now enjoying life somewhere.

Enjoying life, yeah right.

One day I'll get him.

I even have his photo.

A photo?

Yeah, but you can't see his face. He's turned away.

Without his face, what else can we use to identify him, sir?

There's something else we use to identify. I'll show you at the station.

-Go bring the jeep. -Okay, sir.

Alright sir, see you again.

-Do we have to? -Why, any problem?

I'm conducting a seminar here tomorrow. Join if you like.

No, no. I'm heading into the forest tomorrow.

There's a rogue elephant, we need to tranquillise it and catch the beast.

Okay…

-See you then. -Okay.

-Right. -Ah...

Hurts, doesn't it?

Take care of that hand.

Dumb as he is, he's still the police.

Things are slipping out of control.

If we're doing something, we do it now.

Like I said, give me the Black Afghani, I'll leave.

Don't talk too much. You tried to play all three of us and get us killed, didn't you?

And when the locals and students caught and trashed you up, you settled down fast.

What's the management saying about the drug test?

Annual Day is tomorrow. After that, drug tests. Then study leave.

After study leave, test results will be out.

Anyone who fails gets thrown out.

That's their decision.

So if we act, it has to be on Annual Day. All students will be here.

If not done by then, then forget it.

-I'll surrender to the police. -No. I won't allow that.

Did I take all that beating for surrendering in the end.

There's no other way, sir.

If we confess, they may show mercy and cut us a deal.

We'll get some leniency for being minors.

But you, sir… You will end up being locked up for years.

True… true.

Why panic? We can go to the station right now.

Why are you even talking about going to the station?

-We'll find another way. -That won't work, sir.

It will. Just give me some time to think.

Okay… okay… okay…

If your plan works on Annual Day, you will have to hand me over the Black Afghani.

Done. Oh no…

-No more excuses. -None.

Then consider it done.

How?

Annual Day cake.

Cake sponsored by…

Kolambanattukuzhy Sunny, alias Columbus.

Here.

Thank you.

Divine Substances Filled by dream travelers

Burdens of the past reaching out across all the three worlds in search

Donning a guise, I will turn everything into a world of imagination

Before time runs out, My desires will bloom

Blue sky in the distance

Having a wish to swim to the shore again

- Are you taking rest?

I fell down, and god of death came to pull me up

Rascal…

Our broken dreams will bloom

O little song, that is reciting at the time when dust fill up

We will unfold in many ways

The hands will change

Our destiny will become useless

Varun…

Benny's been kidnapped by Ganja Karuppu.

-Eh? -Benny is in Karuppu's custody.

How do you know?

You think I don't know what you guys are up to?

I even know that guy is Columbus.

Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.

Go save Benny first.

He jumped into this mess because of you.

Everything is perfect.

Now we just need everyone to eat the cake.

Look who's here, the principal's daughter.

Where were you all this time?

-I was searching for Black Afghani. -Me too.

Eh?

What did you just say?

She knows?

Relax, she won't tell anyone.

Phew. Thanks.

Benny's been kidnapped by Ganja Karuppu.

-Ganja Karuppu? -Yeah.

Whatever... I kept my word.

Give me the Black Afghani.

What do we do now?

Shall we go tell the Principal?

Now you think of that?

Had you spoken earlier, we could've fixed it.

Could've said something to Mom and calmed her.

Exactly.

Tell her now, and she won't stop at expulsion, she'll get you all arrested too.

-Went looking for trouble, and now sulking… -Trouble? Me?

We thought he'd gotten high and passed out in a ditch, he'd wake up and wander back.

Let's go to the police. That's safer.

Don't blurt out nonsense now.

First, give me my stuff.

Then call whoever you want.

Honestly, I don't trust the police either.

They won't believe a word we say.

First give me the Black Afghani...

Then we'll all calm down and think straight.

What if we don't?

You gonna kill us all?

Go on, kill me.

We're not giving you Black Afghani.

Do what you want.

-Hey! -Let go of me.

He got into this mess for me.

If anything happens to him, I'll never live in peace.

To hell with his Black Afghani.

Listen calmly to what I say now.

We don't have Black Afghani. We just fooled you till now.

Black Afghani is with Benny.

If you want it, ask him.

-Is that the truth? -Yes.

Sir… sir…

Don't kill us, sir… please…

Please…

What did I do to deserve this?

If you'd just said you didn't have it, would I have stayed to get beaten up?

You don't understand my situation.

I trusted Ganja Karuppu. He betrayed me.

Why else would I come this far? Didn't that itself show you how serious it is?

If I don't get Black Afghani, not one of you will walk out alive.

Understood?

If Benny's in Karuppu's custody, the Black Afghani must be with them too… right?

-What? -I meant...

Sir, don't you know where Ganja Karuppu's new hideout is?

Where are you going?

I know his place. I started from there too.

Tonight, everything ends.

-We're coming too. -Stop fooling around and get in.

That isn't Lulu shopping Mall to stroll through. It's the forest.

If you go into that forest with nothing but old memories,

the elephants and tigers will make a meal of you.

To enter that forest, you need a local, a true son of the forest.

And who's that?

Here he is.

Lift him.

-Get in, Chathan. -Oh no!

Come on, get in the jeep! Move!

Move out of the way, move… move!

-Yes sir. -Teacher...

Teacher, don't let anyone eat the cake. It's spiked with drugs.

My god, how do you know?

I spiked it.

I don't want this added to my rap sheet, just don't let anyone eat it.

And you fussed over watered-down milk.

If you wanted to just see the forest, you could've just asked.

Why drag me all the way here like this?

Thought I'd surprise you.

Surprises are fine, if they come with good money.

Can you just shut up. I'll pay whatever you want.

Who's this guy? You drive the jeep, man.

Brother, have you heard of an international don called Columbus? This is him.

Oh please. As if a Don has nothing better to do than shuttle you lot around.

-What happened? -I forgot my gun.

-Can you arrange one? -No guns. Only fireworks.

Fireworks? What...

Fine, will anything that goes boom do?

Everyone get down. The jeep can't go any further.

-Any elephants here? -No elephants here.

But fifty metres deeper,

there are elephants, leopards, deer and Lion-tailed macaques...

Stop scaring them.

Watch it, that's a python, not a hump on the road.

From here, two hundred acres used to be ours.

What happened?

Well, I made some barbecue one day…

And the forest department took everything after that.

Hold your aim steady.

When the elephant comes, pull the trigger.

If you miss, that's on you. Remember that.

Sir, look over there.

Yeah, I saw that earlier.

Probably some bootleggers.

Let's finish up here, I need to go there and down a couple of large pegs.

Me too.

Watch out, someone's coming this way.

Who knows when this work will ever get over.

Once we're done, I've three lorry-loads to move.

Came to the forest to play hide-and-seek, did you?

No noise.

Let me talk.

First we need to find where Benny is. Only then…

No outsider ever walks into this place.

Isn't that Sivan?

Hey, Siva…

Oh no…

What on earth is this?

You work here now?

We're screwed.

You lot roaming around is giving me a headache. Stand still, will you?

-Must be here to chop down the trees. -Well, we do chop down trees too.

You've set yourself up nicely, huh.

Yeah, somehow managing.

Leave that. What are you doing here?

A few tourists wandered in.

-Tourists? -We're dead.

They insist I show them the forest myself.

Tourists? Where?

Sir, come, this is our man.

Oh my God…

They got shit scared.

-Why are you grinding your teeth like that? -Hey you, …

My classmate. He failed in first grade.

Come.

He might have a gun.

You forgot the gun?

He forgot to bring it.

But he has one…

Come on, son.

Quit fiddling with it and throw it already.

-Is it Deepavali today? -Sure feels like it.

Isn't that the lecturer we saw at the college? What's he doing here?

-Probably came for a drink. -Oh…

Why are they fighting then?

He might not have cleared his tab.

Boss, beat him up.

Ganja Karuppu…

Dress up however you want, I'll still know it's you, Columbus.

Sir, he's about to stab him!

Give me that.

Columbus… I've been waiting for this moment.

Hold him tight. Don't let go.

Oh no! Boss...

Don't spare the man who attacked sir.

Come on.

Do get a move on, my dear vet.

Sir, it's me, I'm right here. Don't be scared, stay brave.

-How do you feel now? -Get lost.

Come here, sir… So you really were a Don, huh?

Am I Don enough now?

Oh my…

Hit him… hit him… keep hitting!

Seek it, and it comes to you.

Sorry Intro is over. Now stand at ease!

Cool gun…

Let go of me.

Come on!

Hey, constable…

Oh no! Sorry, sir!

Phew… that would've gotten me fired.

Come on, try me.

This is something else entirely.

Who are these guy?

First half is story, second half also story…

Everyone gets thrashed.

Sir, I've got him, kick him in the balls!

Let me go, I'm the police.

Yeah right, then who am I?

I'm from the Anti-Narcotic Cell,

Anwar Ali.

-Sir. -How dare you not recognise me?

Oh sir, careful…

You pinched my emblem.

Because of you, how many days have I been out of uniform?

Son of a gun!

-Sir, weren't you out of action? -Where's my gun?

Oh no, Mansoor Ali Khan.

Oh no, get me down, get me down… Don't leave me up here!

Oh no... I am no good now.

-Come on. -Oh no…

I'll rip you apart.

Come on, next.

Oh no...

Oh no, it's a tusker.

Oh no...

Run!

Oh no...

Oh no, run!

Run, run, this way!

Run, run! Oh no!

Oh no...

Stop messing about, you big elephant!

Run, run!

Oh no, Oh no...

-Sir, up here already? -Get lost, you idiot.

-All this chaos in your presence? -It's outside my station limits.

Left, elephant… right, elephant… move! Left, elephant…

Sir, please get my coat back.

Sir, kick it off.

Sir, the elephant!

Sir, arrest the elephant. Load it into the jeep.

Need orders from higher-ups to arrest an elephant.

You're already sitting up high, sir. Just give the order.

Oh no, it's pulling down the branch!

Oh no...

Oh no, Oh no...

If not for this tree, we'd be finished.

Finished? How much more is left?

Sir, go down and ask it to calm down.

Trying to break off the branch…

-Oh no, Oh no... -Will it knock this tree down?

Don't you dare break off the branch.

They're safe now.

Oh no, save us villagers… foragers, I mean!

Oh no! Elephant has gone crazy

Ganja Karupp! Please take me down from this

Don’t sleep

Oh no! Oh no!

Don’t touch there

Oh no!

Stop

Found the spot!

Stopped. It stopped

Oh no!

Bowed down!

- Come. Come dear - Sir!

Arrest me.

Sir, arrest me too, I'm a proper scoundrel as well.

Oh no...

Arrest them.

Thank you.

Sir, it's taking me with it.

Sir, go tell your people, the lone tusker is back home in the woods.

Oh no...

Madam, these days the use of weed and narcotics is ten times what it used to be.

Especially among school and college students,

they are the main targets of the drug mafia.

We can only wipe this out slowly, step by step.

For that, we need ground workers.

Sharp kids no one would ever suspect, working quietly for us.

One such kid is this brave girl, Miss Aida.

And then…

These kids too.

Thank you, Aida.

-See you later. -Sure, sir.

Benny…

He's safe.

The day you lifted the Black Afghani, we picked him up too.

He's in a de-addiction centre now. He'll be back…

As a new man.

Anyway, we helped you, didn't we? That's enough.

So what?

Let me tell you something.

I'm only letting you go because Aida spoke for you.

If I ever hear your names again in connection with weed or drugs,

you'll never see the outside world again. Got it?

Got it.

-Dear Lord. -Oh Lord...

Moopa.

Oh no, look at that... An elephant.

Padayappa.

Had I known earlier, I'd have hired an elephant myself.

What do you want us to do now?

You want us to rat you out?

I'm the one in cuffs here, and you think I like this?

We already told you we'd cook you Black Afghani.

But you wouldn't listen.

It's because of you we're all stuck here now.

-We said we'd make your Black Afghani. -Tell them to shut it!

Excuse me.

Who's this?

Education.

Education is the foundation of any institution.

Your downfall was surrounding yourself with

idiots who can't even spell their own names.

Should've done interviews first, no?

They kept saying they would make you Black Afghani.

Now they're asking, had you listened earlier, would you be in this mess? Got it?

-Sorry, boss. -Damn you.

So, tell me, guys…

How do we make Black Afghani?
