Mother..

Mother..

Mother, where are you?

I want to meet my mother.

Mother..

I want to meet my mother.

Mother..

I want to meet my mother.

Mother..

Madhavan.. - Yes?

What is his name? - Aravindan. - Okay.

"You are my mother."

"Mookambika.."

"Embrace me.."

'July 18, 2016, Eid al Fitr.'

"Hail the Lord.."

There seems to be two ways. It's a bit of confusion.

One of you must get down and have a look at the board.

Goodness! It's written in Kannada.

Can't they write it in English? I am not able to follow anything.

I have an acquaintance in Mookambika. Let me call him.

Hey, it's a Tiger zone. Do not take a chance. Let's go.

They might attack us. - Hello, is it Mookambika Stores?

'Aravindante Athidhikal'.

Red salute.

"He sings and stomps on mud."

"He drinks milk at dawn. He sings and stomps on mud."

Glory be to all forms of Goddess.

Glory be to the Almighty!

The names of Goddesses are increasing day by day.

I am getting old too. - I feel otherwise.

Thanks to the blessings of the Goddess.

There's no harm in reading newspapers once in a while.

Come on! No.

If I read it once, I might get addicted. So..

It's annoying.

Go and attend to him.

If he rings the bell again, I shall hit him.

You will just hit him. I will kill him! Nasty guy!

Hey, aren't you aware of my temper?

Aren't you? - What should I be aware of?

I know you very well. You are a loafer.

I will hit you. - Get lost.

You will be ruined.

I am Vettikkavil Suni's sister. You know that.

I know that. You are Vettikkavil Bindu.

Thottikkaavil Bindu. - You..

I cannot breathe. - Good.

My goodness! - Hurry.. - What happened?

She crushed my chest. - Ma'am, what happened?

Aravindan, isn't this a temple?

Temple! No, it's a lodge. She doesn't even know that. Fool!

It's a temple premises. - A compound.

Yes. Why did we come here? To pray and get blessed to bear a child.

Then, shouldn't he pray to the Goddess diligently? You tell me.

Yes. - Yes..

But, instead, this man is busy messaging.

It's a group of friends from Parassala.

Ma'am, they are his friends. - Friends..

Do you know the group's name? - Does the name relate to you?

'Neelakuyil.'

'Neela..'

We shall have our breakfast from here.

Are you ready to leave? - I hope the place is good.

Yes. Kodachadri is the best trekking spot in the south.

It is located at an off-road destination. Shed your fear.

Is the jeep ready? - Just a minute.

He is whiling away the time. Hey.. - Yes?

Are you ready? - Yes. But..

I would charge Rs. 1000 per head. - Rs. 500.

Rs. 700. - Rs. 500.

Rs. 600. - Rs. 500.

Rs. 500. - Rs. 500. - That is what I said. - Okay.

It's getting late for school. Come fast.

Okay.

How is he? - He is a good fellow.

Give him half the price he demands. - Yes.

I will do that. - Go, enjoy.

Come on. - Don't get late.

Give the flowers at once.

We must visit the temple. - Okay. Don't hasten.

Priest, yesterday, you had mentioned about the offering.

Such an early visit. - Yes.

We bought a lot of flowers because of the old lady.

She is standing there since a long time. Let it be.

Priest, for the offering against enemies, will our identity

be enough or should we pray that our enemy is ruined?

Friend, such offerings are not available here.

What kind of a temple is this?

Let's go and pray. - Okay.

You too, come along. - Friend, you carry on.

Give me company. - No, please go.

I am telling you. - No, dear.

Why? - He will not come.

Doesn't he pray? - Do not insist him.

He will not come. - You please carry on.

Then, you come along. - Okay.

Goddess..

"My eyes.." - 'Aravindan..'

"...yearn for you, o' mother."

I had asked you to get flowers. Didn't you get them?

The flower vendor may have promised you, not me.

What happened, ma'am? - I said that I didn't get flowers.

Do not worry. I have got them for you.

Grandma, are you happy? - Yes, dear.

Greetings, sir. - Greetings.

"Goddess Lakshmi, the merciful one. Listen to us, o' deity."

"Goddess Lakshmi, the merciful one. Listen to us, o' deity."

"Your sound resonates in all directions"

"in the place where You reside, o' revered Goddess."

"The holy scripts reverberate"

"in the Your presence."

"My miseries have found refuge in You."

"While I pray, wouldn't You caress and embrace me?"

"Oh! Merciful one.."

"O' merciful Goddess." - Mother Goddess..

"O' merciful Goddess of Mookambika."

"Merciful Goddess.."

Let's take a selfie. - "Be merciful.."

"Devi Mookambika." - 'Mother.'

He looks like a beggar. Look how arrogant he is!

He resembles Kottayam Nasir. Doesn't he?

Mr. Mohan..

What is it? - What's that

mark on your forehead. Is it your latest style?

Get lost!

"Goddess Lakshmi, o' merciful one"

"listen to me, o' deity."

"Shree Lakshmi, merciful Goddess, listen to me"

"o' deity." - Look, don't frown. Come on.

Here.. - Give me some more cash.

Give and then speak. - Why did I bring this guy here?

So, we will enjoy. Is that okay? - Yes.

Idiot, what place is this? - No, do not hit me.

Give my money back. - There he is.

Where's my money? - I did not..

Is this your rest room? This is awful!

I shall get the room changed. - Give my money back.

I will not give it. - Give the money to me.

Just give the money. - Give it.

He is a fraudster.

Idiot. - Goodbye.

Sir.. - Didn't I ask you to clean the room?

"O' Goddess of Kollur."

Kodachadri.. Yes, please come.

"Let's continue the journey of prayers to Kodachadri."

"Sun cleanses itself and lights the lamp of dawn."

"Across the river Souparnika"

"float the clouds of emerald."

"The forest here reverberates with Shri Shankaracharya's hymns."

"When I need Her presence.." - Shall I take a photo with you?

"Goddess calls me to Her abode." - Okay, bye.

Who is he? - M.T. Vasudevan Nair.

Did he write 'Pulimurugan'? - No. That was his brother.

"Sound resonates all over in Your presence, o' revered Goddess."

"The holy scripts reverberate here"

"o' deity."

"My miseries have found refuge in You."

"While I pray, wouldn't You caress and embrace me?" - You fool!

"O' ocean of mercy."

"O' merciful Goddess."

"O' merciful Goddess, Mookambika."

"O' merciful Goddess.."

"O' merciful Goddess, Mookambika. The merciful deity."

"Lakshmi, the merciful Goddess.."

What is he saying?

Keep quiet. It's a prayer to bless you with a child.

I thought that he might be cursing her father.

Friend, just pray.

Do you wish for a girl or a boy child?

Tell me what you wish for. A girl or a boy?

Boy. - Girl.

Boy or.. - Boy.

Girl. - Boy or girl?

Boy. - Priest, girl. - May you be..

Hey, a girl child might elope with someone. I will not give dowry.

Listen.. - Will your father give it? - Yes.

Decide something. - Son.

Daughter. - Daughter.

Friend, you cannot bear a child by just tying up a cradle.

Half the effort is ours and half is the Almighty's.

Don't laugh. Your wife is here.

Even a beggar gets milk on the first night.

She did not even give me that, you know?

But, since you.. - Friend..

Half the effort is ours and half is the Almighty's.

Ma'am, give the glass of milk to him.

I shall close the door and leave. Okay. Good night.

Good night. - "Aren't you my world?"

"Aren't you my beautiful floret?"

"Am I not your beloved?"

Let's meet in our next visit.

"The lamp faded in the wind."

"I stood alone in the dark, akin a jasmine at the temple courtyard."

"I stood alone."

You are alone, friend. There's no one around.

No. No one seems to have devotion.

Leave it. Things will fall into place at the peak season.

Raghav, give me two cups of tea.

"Let the dance continue in the moonlit dusk"

"on the stage, to the tunes of 'Dhruva Talam'."

"The moonlit.."

'Moon light'.. - No, spell it correctly.

Here, take this snack.

I got a bite. - That's nothing new.

What? - It's an old routine.

Raghav, give me a cup of tea. - Didn't you get any customer?

No one wants to see the future. What do I do?

Are you laughing? You have nothing called an off-season.

Room stay, 24-hour security, hot water, homely food..

A home away from home, only 1500 meters

from the Mookambika stand. Rooms are available.

Sir, rooms.

Cheap rooms available, sir. - Hey, the rear door..

Take the back door. I shall go there.

Ma'am, rooms are available with cradles in them.

Hot water, homely food.. A home away from home

only 1500 metres from the Mookambika stand.

Friend. - Yes, sir.

Yes.. - Hey, can you repeat the song.

Sir, which song? - The 'Rooms-available' song.

24-hour security. - No need of that.

Homely food. - I like hotel food.

Heritage. - I don't need that.

Sir, what do you need then? - Discounts.

Sure, sir. I can offer discounts.

Hello. Oh!

Friend, I am sorry. He is quite short-tempered.

He slaps anyone who touches his face.

Sir, it's okay.

A small family might need just two rooms.

Okay. - Confirmed. - Confirmed, sir.

Hey, all of you, come here. I have booked rooms.

Goddess, two rooms are not enough. We will need two lodges.

Friend, how is my family?

Sir, have you come on a school tour?

Hold him. We must do everything in life wholeheartedly.

These are all my home productions.

Come on.

Kodachadri..

You need not know your future now. You are 70.

I'll give you clothes that I wore during my youth.

Will this work? - No way!

Go and fool people around.

Let me grab an orange. - Hey, keep it back. Did you seek permission?

Keep it in an order. You never understand.

Are they going for a procession? Did they ban Jallikattu again?

Why are you giving them to me? Keep them back, in an order.

I have heard of Souparnika. - That bald child is his weakness.

What is the matter? - Is he a little devil?

I thought of warning you. - Then..

Then, I thought otherwise.

Sir, please come. - Yes.

I hope this guy does not create an issue about the slap.

Don't worry, sir. He is used to it.

He is the Malayalam actor, Babu Antony. - Goodness!

Babu Antony! - Who's he? Your father-in-law?

Not knowing AKG is not a crime in Tamil Nadu. Let go.

Name, address, advance. - Nothing in writing. Just words.

Receptionist, it's your job to write.

Make way. - Name?

Swarnalingam. - Goodness! No wonder.

His name does justice to his behaviour.

Write it. - Come on.

Come on.

Receptionist, what are you writing?

I just asked for two rooms, friend.

Did you agree for two rooms? His is a big family.

They are innocent, Madhavan.

He called me 'Uncle'. Does he seem to be innocent?

I promised him and you have taught me never to break promises.

You learnt everything perfectly from me. Good.

Friend, I hope the room is on the ground floor.

There are old people in my family. - We'll do something. Come on.

Aravindan, the room downstairs is for the other family.

Goodness! - Friend, isn't our room downstairs?

Yes, sir. - But, upstairs..

But, upstairs there's..

MGR.. - Is he here?

No, not MGR. His teacher stayed here.

I have kept a big photo in his memory.

I want that room. - But, the rate

is slightly high. - That's okay.

Is that okay? - Yes.

Then, carry on. I shall come. - Come fast.

How is my trick?

I did not teach you that. - I learnt it for my survival.

Sumesh, shift MGR's photo from Room number 8 to 16

and NTR's from 16 to 8, fast.

Aravindan.

Tamils idolize MGR while Andhra people adore NTR.

Karnataka people love Rajkumar.

What about Malayalis? - Thomas Chandy.

That is right. - Yes, that's right.

Hey, take a proper bath. Apply soap and take a bath.

Will this soap make dad fair?

Why do you want that to happen?

We Indians are dark-skinned.

Our superstar himself is dark-complexioned. Take a bath.

Take a dip in the water.

Mother, God is here.

God is here. God, please bless us.

Please come. - Did he say pig?

Are you fine? - Yes.

Here's the temple address, phone number and advance. - Okay.

Okay? Are you happy? - Yes..

Hey, I brought three of them. Where is my commission?

It's off-season. Show them mercy. Why do you need a share?

I'll not demand much.

Friend, I must say, taking a bath here is a lovely experience.

This might be his first bath.

Not just that, sir. Food is awesome at the temple too.

Is that so? Is it that good?

It's free. - Free?

Where in the temple would we get it from?

When you go around the temple, you'll find a counter to the left.

Yes. - Behind that.

You too accompany us. - We eat Rotis at night.

You have come with your family. - Yes.

You please carry on. - Okay.

Uncle, free food is available. - You never cared for me so much.

He is a simpleton. You are a fraudster. - Fraudster! - Yes.

"A precious veena.."

Towel your hair well.

Madhavan, do you want to sell it? - No way.

Listen.. - Yes..

You must stop ranting the slogans

you always give out. - Then, what do I do?

Let's start online booking. - That's a good idea.

First, we must give it a face-lift by changing the paint.

We must change the old furniture. - All rooms must have an AC

a TV.. - A water heater, a shower..

And a bath-tub. - Let's hire a cook.

We should include North-Indian and Chinese food too. - Sure.

We must increase the rent and enjoy life.

Such a beautiful and impractical dream!

Try to get it painted before the next season.

Receptionist..

Are you fine? The free food was awesome, pal.

Tell him that he may well sleep there for free.

Is he an idiot? He is short-tempered.

I will take care of that.

You please go and sleep. - Okay, as you please.

Hope we get breakfast tomorrow. - Yes.

Will it be free, as you said? - Free!

We will manage, sir. - Thank you.

Madhavan, let go.- Don't you know how many are there?

Most of them are kids. They will need very limited food.

Is he eating on his mother's behalf?

Hey, pour it.

Yes, I shall. Please do not hit me.

Come on, pour it.

Pour it.

Here. - Pour everything.

I think, it will go on till the night.

This is the last.

Mister, how many times do I call you?

Come here.

I have only curry with me.

Kids, eat to your heart's delight.

You must not upset your stomach.

Grandma, the curry was awesome. - Okay.

Aravindan made it, not grandma. - Friend, did you?

It was awesome.

Thank you.

Grandma. - I made the Idlis.

Rashid, what do we do? There are many more people left.

I've crackers in my jeep. Shall I light it and throw at them?

Sambar, come here. - Don't shout. Here I come.

Friend, careful. That suitcase has just three wheels.

Dust allergy.

What happened to you? Keep it.

Enjoy. Uncle, you're always looking at Babu Antony's photo.

Give the bill.

Give it. - How was the stay, sir?

Yes, it was good. - Thanks, sir.

Check all the kids. - You will get maximum.

Rs. 700 only, after discount.

Clean the room after they go. - It will take some time.

Uncle, here's Rs. 700.

Friend, Rs. 1000, a tip for you.

Rs. 1000!

Friend, your service is great. I liked you very much.

You are educated, intelligent and hard- working.

Why do you have to work with this man?

Come to me. I'll give you a job.

What do you do, sir?

I own 4-5 ships and have 2000 employees.

I also have 10-15 companies. That is all.

This is my visiting card.

You can come to me for any help. - Okay, sir.

You have no shawl. - Wait a minute.

Here's Rs. 10. Spend it carefully.

Get down and go on foot.

Selva, come here. You go. - He tipped you. Carry his luggage.

Aravindan, thanks. I shall leave. - Okay.

Aren't you coming? - I will not come for Rs. 10.

Friend, I shall leave. - Bye, sir.

I want to go to the market. Take out the vehicle.

What an offer! Discounts, free breakfast.

You must not judge anyone by their looks.

That's not my mistake.

I have learnt only what you taught me.

I too shall come.

"Hail the daughter of Mother India."

"Hail Mother Karnataka."

"Hail, the land of rivers and forests."

Mookambika is the last stop..

This is the last stop. Please get down.

Good morning, ma'am. - Good morning, sir.

These people have no sense.

Good morning, ma'am. Welcome to Mookambika.

Welcome to..

24-hour security, running hot water

very hygienic homely food and discounts. All are available.

Can you tell me in Malayalam? - Are you a Malayali?

I thought that you might be comfortable with English.

Really! Do I seem like that? Many people..

Get down. - Did we reach Guruvayur?

It's not Guruvayur. It is Mookambika. - Okay, we've reached.

And he is your.. - He is my brother.

He has come to give me company.

I shall carry the suitcase. Do not worry.

You may do that but we have already booked the rooms.

Who? When? - Prabhakaran.

Sir, the rent is minimal.

We do not want cheap rooms. - Sir, I shall offer discounts too.

Go, my brother-in-law will scorn me if he gets to know of it.

Who is Prabhakaran? - Bull Prabhakaran.

No. My brother-in-law, Prabhakaran.

Has he come along? I shall speak to him.

Go. - Mother, let's go.

Here I come. I have to tell you something.

I will come to you. Let's stay in that guy's lodge.

Dad has already booked us a room. That is enough.

The rent is less.

Please repeat all that you told me earlier about your lodge.

24-hour security, running hot water, homely food

150 years of ancestry, only 1500 meters from Mookambika stand.

You'll not find it elsewhere. Great facilities. Isn't it good?

No, let's go to the room dad had booked.

The rent is low. Look at him. He seems to be good.

I feel pity on him. - I shall call Prabhakaran now.

Yes. I too shall call sister-in-law and tell a few things to her.

I will tell her whatever you did in the bus yesterday.

Brother-in-law! You come here.

Hold the suitcase. - Thank you.

Leave him there. Don't call him.

Idiot. Get lost!

Hey, come here. - I'll carry the suitcase.

Okay.

I shall talk to brother-in-law. But, we must meet.

We must meet as per norms. - Yes, sure.

Take a breath. - Oh!

What do you think? - Devil.

You're right, smart boy. I am proud of you.

Do you have devil service? - Yes.

Daily? - Yes.

Anytime? - Yes.

"Hail Mr. Nehru." - They celebrate here too.

What's written here? Which language is it?

Ma'am, it's Kannada.

Friend, is it 'Gandhi Jayanti' today?

Today is Children's Day. - Then, I'll get liquor today.

Sir, would Mr. Prabhakaran scorn if he gets to know?

Her husband is enough for my sister.

What do you mean?

I meant to say that she has had enough of her husband.

Kerala has many women like that. - She is one among them.

Hey, you must keep in mind that my husband bears your expenses.

I thought you were a good guy.

Ma'am. - You too complain about him.

I may say as I like. You must not talk like elders.

Nothing like that. - When will we reach?

We are almost there. - Okay.

Where are you taking us to? - Well..

I can smell a rat in this.

When will we reach? - Here we are. - What?

I think your daughter is quite serious.

That is just a show-off. Do not mind it.

She has come here for 'Arangettam' after her course in Kalamandalam.

Is that so? All the best.

You can buy everything here.

You too can buy. - Here it is.

Is it here? - Come on.

Why do you bother? - Do not get hurt.

I can sense a sort of discomfort here.

I'll not tolerate it if I don't get my bottle by 7.

What bottle?

We will settle that. Ma'am, please come.

The room is upstairs. - Is he your father?

No. - No?

You two look similar.

We are living together since many years. That might be the reason.

Yet, such similarity!

Where's the water? - Here it is, sir.

Running hot water?

24 hours.

Let me just doze off!

Keep the water.

Why is it burning outside? Get in.

Couldn't you do it earlier? - Why are you crying for that?

Tears just rolled down my eyes. - That is called crying.

Good morning.

Mom, here comes your running hot water.

It's available 24 hours. See if the temperature is right.

I do not want to cook. I want to take a bath.

You can add some cold water. Do not fight with him for that.

How is the stay, ma'am? - Shall I tell the truth?

No. - Thank you.

Can you cool it with air?

Tap complaint. I will set it right.

You must do it. Not just say. - Sure. I will.

When? - Very soon.

Keep quiet. Repair it by the time we go out and come back.

Isn't the Arangettam at 9.30 a.m.? - Yes.

Then, you have enough time. - Do you know about the press box?

Okay, I shall tell it in Kannada.

A press box. - Here, take it.

What is it?

Iron box. - This one?

I did not ask you for a rat trap.

Your cloth can be ironed with this box.

My shirt will get burnt. It costs Rs. 1000.

Then, go out and get it ironed. - Turn it.

Clockwise.

You must turn it clockwise, not break it.

Clockwise and his advice! - Turn it.

This way? - Try it.

You can do it.

This is not the first time I am seeing this..

I did not ask you to break it.

Hold it up. - Oh!

I told you not to rant while I work. You caused the damage.

No, I did not do anything. - Yes, you did.

I did not cause the pipe breakage. - Yes, you did.

There are no proper pipes or wires in this 150-year-old lodge.

How could you hold me responsible? - Hey, very good.

Did you shut the main pipe? - Then, how will we get water here?

Go and close it. - What?

Go and close it.

Oh! Rain. - Oh!

Hey, stop it. - It wouldn't stop.

God! The Arangettam dress is gone.

Hey, buy the dress from somewhere. - Give me Rs. 1000.

Rs. 500. - Rs. 1000.

Okay. Everything got destroyed.

God! The bangles too, got wet.

Move aside. - I am going out.

Rashid, buy two bangles as well. - Is that all?

Do you need anything else? - No. - Oh, God!

Sumesh. - I will set it right.

Okay. - Hey, Aravindan.

Who is it? - Hey, the water flow has stopped.

Who closed the pipe? - Was that you?

I cannot see. - I will set it right. Is it okay?

Swami, where are you going?

I am going to the toilet. - No. Please don't go today.

I will not leave you. Oh!

Give me way. Let me go.

Go get the iron box. - Then, I have to go downstairs.

Oh!

Hey, leave it. - Leave it.

Move aside. - What do I do?

I will not give it, no matter what you do.

God!

Where's the water? - I will come later.

Here, take it. See if you need anything else.

Okay.

What is it?

What is it? - The Arangettam dress.

Is it loose?

She is not performing cabaret but Bharatanatyam.

We could adjust the rest with a saree.

Is this a marriage house that we are using a saree?

We do not have time. - Bangles?

Here, take them.

Is it too many?

Rascal, you take them.

Eat it. Don't waste it.

You cheated me. What will I tell her?

Idiot. - Now, give her the rent.

Take him away. - Come on.

Come. - Take the snack with you.

His snacks!

What? - The dress and the iron box.

My friend's call. What is it?

Video, still and musicians.. All are ready.

You got everything ready, indeed! Idiot.

What will I tell her? - There she is. Give her the dress.

Adorned in the dress and ornaments

she would look like

a divine dancer from the Devaloka.

It's slightly torn in the sides.

You can wear it over a pant.

No one can discern it. It will look like a new design.

Mother.

Was it her mother's dress? Then, it's okay. - Mother!

Mother! - Hey!

It's my daughter. - It's from upstairs.

Someone called out for mother. I too shall come.

My child.

There she lies. My child.

Is she sitting on the step or has she fallen down?

I will not go. - I will not go. You go.

Where is he? Call my brother. - Move aside.

Come fast.

What happened? - She fell from the stairs.

How? - Take her to the hospital.

Where's Aravindan? - Here.

Come here.

My brother-in-law is calling again. - Receive it.

Receive it. - How?

This is how you must receive.

Talk to him.

Brother-in-law, I.. He is swearing at me.

He is examining a lot. I feel scared.

Nothing.

She has suffered nervous damage below her knee.

Suitcase?

She will need two weeks of rest. We will tie a plaster.

What?

What did he say? - Nothing to worry.

Not to worry. - But, he said something.

Do I have a broken bone? - No. It's called muscle fibre cracking

in medical language.

Say it in our language.

She has suffered an injury below her knee, above her ankle.

Yes, she got bruised.

When the doctor said crack, I thought that

she might have fallen down and gone mad.

Oh! Mother..

You are anyway insane. I just told so.

Not a big issue. She must take some rest.

She cannot travel or walk. - Is that all?

My Arangettam? - It would not happen right now.

It's not your marriage. It's just the Arangettam.

Now, we can stay here for two weeks, in peace.

I shall arrange for a wheelchair. - Pick a good one.

Let go of your fierce expressions. Don't stare at me.

This is the first time that I had to bring our guest to the hospital.

That's okay. It will become a habit.

Will Mr. Prabhakaran come here? - No.

He too fractured his leg. - What happened?

He fell down when a dog chased him. - Oh!

Do not sympathise. He threw a stone at a dog. It did not spare him.

But, the sad thing is that the dog did not bite him.

Sister. - What is it?

Brother-in-law is furious.

That's not new. You are used to it. - Sister..

We need not stay here. - Then?

Varada cannot climb stairs. - Yes.

I shall vacate the room I stay with Madhavettan in, downstairs.

It will be an inconvenience to you both.

It wouldn't be greater than the difficulty we caused for Varada.

Rashid, call Sumesh and ask him to set our room up.

I will speak to Madhavettan.

Get the medicines in this prescription, from the pharmacy.

Go fast. Let's leave. - Okay.

Move aside. Let him turn the wheelchair.

Slowly, dear. Careful. - There's a step here.

This is a nice room.

It's beautiful. - Yes.

Take care of your leg. Sit over there.

Mother, move aside.

Sister, place the plastered leg on top.

My back hurts. Why don't you do it?

Brother-in-law called you 18 times. Call him back.

Take it and go away, idiot.

He does not have any mercy.

Oh!

Nice. Hey, you..

Take a photo of mine. It's a good pose.

Send it to the family group.

Then, write the caption as 'Mom relaxing at Mookambika'.

Let everyone see it and feel jealous.

Goodness! Father's look.

Father's envious nature too.

I shall speak to the people who are not in the group.

I don't need any help for that.

Soudaa, it's me.

How are you? I am at a resort in Mookambika.

What is the name of it? - Heritage Resort.

Heritage Resort. It's a luxury resort.

It's costly but how can we change our habits?

The Arangettam got cancelled. She fell and fractured her leg.

She walks carelessly.

Artist.

The resort's MD has just arrived.

He is a busy person. I will call back.

I didn't want it to be less. - Okay.

You can tell me if you need anything.

Do you get Malayalam magazines here?

Yes.

Then, buy all the editions for this month.

Do you need anything?

Can I get Janaki Subramaniam's latest dance videos?

Janaki Subramaniam.

Listen, Janaki Subramaniam.. - Krishna Leela?

Yes. - I have them with me. I will give you.

Bring two packets of Lays too. Bring the green packets.

Good boy. - Oh, God!

Which flavour did she say she wants?

Green.

Make arrangements if anyone else wishes to suffer a fall.

My room is available for their care.

Who drew these? - Aravindan.

'Sandalwood is beautiful.'

I told you many times not to work with ailing legs.

But, you don't listen at all.

Rasheed, you marry.. - Shut up.

Divyaranya.. - It's wrong. It isn't like that.

Shankara, Ramanuja, Vidyaranya..

Basaveshwara, Madwara, Divyaaranya.

Ranna, Shadakshara, Ponna, Pampa Lakumipathy, Janna.

Ramanuja, Vidyaranya, Basaveshwara, Madwara.

"Princess, do not go away from me."

"Sing, while the sparks fly."

"Dear princess.."

"Dear princess.."

"Why did you cross my path?"

"You swung on the twig of my heart."

"Princess, do not go away from me."

"Sing, while the sparks fly." - Hey, come in.

Madhavan.. - I want to take a few books.

Please take them, sir.

I thought it was the boy.

Why is it so shabby?

We cleared it to keep the clothes. Look for your books over there.

Don't heap up these books. Sell them off to some store.

It would fetch you money. Why have you retained them?

It's good to read books to gain some knowledge.

Move.. Make way.

Aravindan. - Yes.

Are you all here? I am yet to get onto the stage.

He would look good at the museum.

Oh! I am not able to recognize you. - Hey, don't laugh.

Ask her not to laugh.

I'm going onto the stage. - You do have time.

No wonder your leg broke. Aren't you an artist?

Is it right to insult another?

Ask her. - Are you an artist?

Here, have a look.

Did you get it?

Are you a fan of Janaki Subramaniam?

Yes, a great fan. Let me watch it. - Okay.

"Princess, do not go away from me."

"Sing, while the sparks fly."

"Dear princess.."

"Dear princess.."

"Why did you cross my path?"

I'm waiting since a long time. - Is that so?

"You swung on the twig"

"of my heart." - Let's go.

"Princess, do not go away from me."

"Sing, while the sparks fly."

What is the dot on the forehead? I have not seen it before.

That child.. - You are no more children.

Are you going to the market? - No, I'm going to Keezhattur.

Hasn't anyone come in search of Aravindan?

Who would come?

His mother, who left him in a crowd?

She brought him here on the pretext of visiting the Goddess

and left him here during the Navaratri celebrations.

It was his good luck that Madhavan found him that day.

He has never got into this temple, till date.

The whole village celebrates during every Navaratri.

He too would join others during the day.

But, at dusk, he is alone.

How can a child forget his mother abandoning him?

There are many people like me who have been abandoned.

But, he is the only one who does not

even know the reason of being abandoned.

"My princess.."

Hello. - I was about to meet you.

What is it?

When you draw one's picture you must do it well.

Especially, if it is that of a girl.

What is wrong in it?

It looks like a snake that ate its prey.

You are quite an artist. You will do well.

Hope your legs are fine now. - Yes.

Let's go on an adventure trip before the Arangettam.

Here? - Yes.

An adventure trip in Mookambika? - Yes.

Best. - Let's go.

You will get to see my driving skills

and if you like me, you can marry me in my mother's presence.

He has no mother.

Do you have to think to that extent?

No. But, let's go for the trip.

Let's go.

Okay.

"Ocean of love."

Mookasura was killed by the Goddess in Kodachadri, right?

Which Goddess?

When did she kill? - She was talking about Mookambika.

What is the name of the asura who was killed?

Mookasura. - Mookasura.

He could have kept a less difficult name.

Suggest me one. - Hemanth, Babu or Sajeesh.

Sajeeshasura. - Best name for an asura.

You have been here in Kodachadri for so long. Yet, you know nothing.

Hey, don't say that. I know many things.

I know that it is 4460 feet above sea level

and one can come here only by a Mahindra jeep.

Walking atop is difficult since it gets crowded.

I know everything. - My God, a jeep.

I saw it. - Are you planning to kill me?

No. I wish to bring you up.

Even 90 year olds complete this trek. You need dedication.

Dedication..

Goodness! - "Ocean of love."

"Goddess." - Now, it's levelled.

Who, you? - No, the road.

Let's get down.

Oh! - Oh, God..

Aravindan.. - Yes? - All fine? - Absolutely.. - Great.

Stay that way..

Aren't you coming? - No.

What happened? - You carry on.

You will get to know in some time. - Give us company.

Company! Go..

"Welcome the little bird to the nights of spring."

"Get going, little bird."

How is it?

I will keep aside some surprises for later.

Is there anything else to see? - Come.

"I shall come along"

"with you in this journey."

"Akin to the clouds"

"we unite."

Swami, greetings. - Greetings.

He is the priest here. He ascends this mountain

four times, every day.

Doesn't he have any other job?

This is his job. To conduct pujas.

Isn't this the place where Shankaracharya meditated?

Tell me..

It's the 'Sarvajna Peetha'.

Go sit there for ten minutes.

"I shall come along with you in this journey."

"Akin to the clouds"

"we unite."

"Bliss.."

"Bliss everywhere.."

"Bliss.."

"Bliss.."

"Bliss.."

"Bliss.."

"Bliss.."

"Bliss.."

Yes, 'Mother' was a huge hit.

I will begin the second part too. 'Mother, give something.'

I shall call you.

George, give me three cups of tea. - Sure.

How are you? - I am fine.

How was my drive? - Superb.

It should be superb for the onlookers. - Aravindan..

Did you tell her about the song?

Oh! I will, now. Do you have the CD?

Who is he?

He is the musician of Mookambika.

He looks so.. - Varada..

He is Shree Krishnan.

He's a Malayali music composer and sells CDs. He is a simpleton.

He came to know that you are from Kalamandalam.

He's composed a song and wants you to choreograph

the dance for it. Can you do it?

Will I get paid?

I have told him that you are the best choreographer in Kerala.

You will be paid.

What if he finds from the internet that I am not famous?

Look at him. Do you think he knows about the internet?

I think, no. - Right.

So, let's hear the song. - Okay.

Okay, let's do it. - Here it is, ma'am.

Can you recognise them? Aravindan, come fast. - What happened?

Oh! Someone pushed the old lady.

Someone snatched my bag. - The money and the phone are gone.

Let's go to the hospital. - We will do one thing.

Let's go to the guest house. Then, the let's check

the temple surveillance camera. You need not worry.

Let's see what can be done.

Children! How could you leave your mother at the temple doorstep?

She got scared. - Okay.

"Oh, happiness.."

"Oh, happiness.."

"Oh, happiness.."

Varada, did you like the place? - Yes.

Waiting for someone hurts us the most. Am I right?

Do you feel angry with your mother?

My mother abandoned me at the Goddess' doorstep.

So, it's okay.

You must hold your Mother's hand and enter the temple.

Your well-wishers pray for the same.

Hey, you look beautiful now!

Turn this way. She looks like me now.

Haven't you tied your hair yet? Don't you need flowers?

Don't you need flowers? - No.

It reminds me of my marriage. - I did not see Aravindan.

He will reach for the Arangettam.

He will not enter the temple. - Why?

Hadn't I told you? - Yes. Poor guy.

Aravindan, come here.

What is it? - Come here.

What is the matter? - It's urgent.

Mallika, I shall come back. - Okay.

Come. - What is the matter?

I will tell you.

"The heavenly trium of Ixora, Hibiscus and Basil.."

It's the mobile ringing.

Hello, Bull.. Oh, sorry..

It happened at 6 a.m.

He was reading the newspaper and having tea.

He was gone in a moment. We humans can hardly help it.

You drink tea.

There's no need to book tickets for today itself.

You can take your time.

The Kottayam-Pathanamthitta NRI community

normally keeps dead bodies in the mortuary for at least 5-6 days.

Why is that so? - Just for a show-off.

Why don't you use a few wreaths instead?

No, that isn't enough.

It's a trick to let people know

that the dead person has relatives staying abroad.

Oh! A death trick. - Exactly.

No..

Prabhettaa..

He does not let other's speak. His announcements..

Varada was quite close to your uncle, right?

Very well! She cast an evil eye and took the old man's life.

Are you worried that she is crying?

That's because her Arangettam got cancelled.

She can enter the temple only after the 16th day's rites.

That's why she is crying.

We'll pray for your uncle's soul. - Son, don't do that.

We have somehow managed to see him off.

He was 96 years old, not out. - A close miss!

He was close to 100 years. - Yes, move aside.

Let me go see my daughter. She is crying.

What is this?

Yes, I will be free, sir.

Trim my hair so that I can get a stylish photo printed here.

Okay. - Aravindan, where were you?

I went to Bendur. Is the CD ready? - I finished editing it.

Very good.

Shankaranna.

Make it fast.

Shankara, change the chair. It's been a long time.

Let the peak season come. - Really!

Do you mean people come here during Navaratri to cut their hair? No.

Hello. Have you reached?

Okay. I will be there.

Shankar, leave it for today. I will come back tomorrow.

I'm leaving. - Are you going?

Came, sat, went. Good title. I'll name it for my next album.

What did you pray for? - Same as before.

I want to learn dancing from the one I adore the most.

Who's that? Prabhu Deva?

No. The renowned classical dancer, Janaki Subramaniam.

'November 29, 2016. Thrikarthika.'

"Bliss.."

"Bliss.."

"Bliss.."

"Bliss.."

"Bliss.."

"Bliss.."

"Bliss.."

"Bliss.."

Aren't you Varada?

Aravindan told me that you are in utter distress.

After Arangettam, you might perform as 'Kalamandalam Varada'

and then, settle down when you're done with it. Is that your plan?

No, ma'am. I want to learn dancing from you.

It's not important who your teacher is.

We must keep learning and that's important. Isn't it, Aravindan?

Correct, ma'am. - Come here..

Come.

But..

Are you trying to trap her? - You may say so.

She asked me to give it to you. Here.

Open it.

Have you gone to Kumbakonam? - No.

It's far off from our native.

But, without going that far

you can't join Janaki Subramanian's dance academy.

What shall we do now?

Do you wish to go? - Yes.

"Bliss.."

"Bliss.."

Do not forget what I said. - What is it?

You must send my daughter's and her kids' photos to me. - Okay.

Aren't you close to their place? - Yes.

I'm so eager to meet them.

I wonder how my kids look like now.

I'll send their photos.

Malli.. - Shall I give it?

Keep them inside the bag. I will come.

She came here as a tigress.

And now, she has become so submissive!

There's a tiger at home. I will get him next time.

He will follow suit. - Did you mean Prabhakaran?

He is a bull, not a tiger. - Keep quiet.

You always tend to blame him. - Oh, Respect!

Here. I have included all the expenses.

Oh, that wasn't needed.

Then, give the money to me. - It will hurt.

Who'll get hurt? - I will get hurt.

That's the right answer. Learn from him.

I will bring the luggage.

Mr. Madhavan, here.

Actually, after staying here

I too doubt if I have become decent.

That's indeed a doubt.

Mr. Madhavan, we will take your leave.

We got our room back. - Yes, true.

We will come again. - Yes, you must.

Okay, then.. - Okay.

Mr. Madhavan, I will take your leave.

Mr. Madhavan, let's take a selfie.

I have the habit of giving autographs to girls coming here.

But, a selfie is better.

You can delete it anytime.

I do not want to delete it.

I look really good.

Varada, you must improve a little bit.

Mr. Madhavan.. - Yes.

Have you ever wished that someone should come in search of Aravindan?

"Why did you cross my path?"

"Why did you swing on my heart's twig?"

Thangabali, hold the bag.

We will take your leave. You must take us to the temple next time.

Keep it aside when they get down. - Ma'am, sit here.

All right then.

"Princess, do not leave me.."

"Sing, while the sparks fly."

Good accommodation, 24-hour security, hot water..

"Why did you cross my path?"

'Prabhakaran Nilayam.'

Do not waste time and come back soon.

Prabhakaran, the bull.

Here's the bull. I should have worn the cotton lungi.

Drat! Who has dumped garbage here?

Who is the scoundrel to do it?

I will let loose my dog the next day.

I heard that a thief got into your house.

Yes. - Did he steal anything? - No, sir.

My wife saw him. - Was he really a thief?

Don't get me wrong.

Tea.. - Yes.

One.. - The ranting has started.

Tea.. - Two..

Thunder...

Such bad news, so early in the day!

Tea.. - Three.

I cannot afford to serve the tea late.

Tea.. - He is my son.

I would have poisoned him, if he was my husband.

Mother..

If you had this thought 50 years ago

me and my daughter would have got saved.

You realised it too late.

'April 14, 2017. Vishu.'

It's Vishu. We should've stayed back and got money as gift.

But, we are going to meet Janaki Subramaniam at Kumbakonam.

What do I tell her? Come fast.

God.. - It's time up. Come.

Come, that's enough.

Why are they lighting crackers in the middle of the road?

My God, my ears are hurt.

'April 14, 2017. Puthandu, [Thamizh New Year].'

Okay. It's the MSH bus, right?

I shall see. The bus is here.

Hey, receive them.

Sir, I am here. Give the garland.

Welcome, sir, to Kumbakonam.

Sir, greetings. - Greetings.

Ma'am, greetings. - Greetings.

Sister, greetings. - Greetings.

Aravindan is like my younger brother.

So, you are like my elder brother.

Leave him.

Sir, please come. Move aside. Hey, come on.

Sir, please come..

Sister, don't worry. Please come. - I am not worried.

Please get in..

We will go to our house and then, go to other places.

Is it the Onam of Tamil Nadu today? - Sister, careful.

Greetings. - Please come.

Greetings, ma'am.

Greetings. Is there any festival?

It's the Tamil new year. This arrangement is for that.

Sir, please come. - Father.

Designs. - That's okay.

He would have lost his design.

Come in. It's a celebration similar to our Vishu.

Sir, how is Nupura? - Yes. It's good.

It's good. - This is our reception.

Welcome to Nupura.

Welcome. Welcome, ma'am.

Didn't I tell you about the guests from Kerala? Here they are.

Okay.. Ma'am told me already.

Oh, did she? I'm glad to know that.

Ma'am too has told about us. - Is it? - Ma'am..

How was the food at my place? - It was awesome.

What is the name of the curry made using eggplant?

Sambar. - We'll discuss it later. - That wasn't Sambar.

How was it? - Brinjal..

My wife cooks tasty eggplant curry.

It was nice. - Look, a big tabla.

Dad.. - Is it not?

Whatever.. - Everyone is present.

They are all great musicians.

Isn't he the one who closes his eyes and plays tablas?

Dad, he is Ustad Zakir Hussain.

Is he a Muslim? - Yes.

Then, it must be 'Daffmuttu'. - Exactly.

Who is the man with the reed wind instrument?

Greetings.

I just wanted to introduce someone. Please come..

She is Varada from Kalamandalam.

She is a very good dancer. So, please welcome her to Nupura.

Thank you, ma'am.

The 40th Annual San Francisco Ethnic Festival.

We will present a new composition this time.

Before the Mahabharata took place

Karna bows to the Sun on the banks of Ganga.

Kunti, his Mother, comes to meet him.

This is my new composition.

Karna, my son

your mother is responsible for all

the insults you have had to bear.

She asks him for forgiveness. We will enact that scene.

Emotions are very important in this scene.

Motherhood..

Motherhood is a language. It's an international language.

Good evening, ma'am.

Ma'am..

Your compositions mainly

comprised of devotion and love.

Why did you take up this subject this time?

"I have the zest."

"We have the zest."

She is too good. She has grace in her dance.

Shivaram..

I want to try something different this time.

Ms. Janaki is not married, right?

She got married at a very young age and has a son too.

Ma'am settled in Kumbakonam many years ago.

The next session is at 3 p.m. I will take your leave.

What about ma'am's husband? - I do not know about that.

No one knows much about her husband.

Why did they separate?

Her husband asked her not to dance anymore.

Then?

Ma'am left everything and came here.

Where is her son? - I do not know.

Where is her husband now? - I do not know.

He was a Kannadiga. Ma'am was Udupi Tulu Brahmin.

So, doesn't she have any connection with her family?

I do not know about it.

But, she goes to the Kollur Mookambika temple often.

'Isn't it Aravindan? - Yes, correct.'

'Come here.'

'Can you get me the latest CD of dancer, Janaki Subhramanyam?'

'Isn't it Krishna Leela?'

'I have it with me.'

'Surya Cultural..'

'Surya Cultural Society, Udupi.'

'He is a Kannadiga. Ma'am is Udupi Tulu Brahmin.'

'I do not know much'

'but she often goes to the Kollur Mookambika temple.'

'Ma'am got married at a young age. She has a son too.'

'August 14, 2017. 5244th Krishna Janmashtami.'

I have reached here. Hello.

Can you speak louder? Hello.. Can you hear me?

Come. - Where to?

Come, I will tell you.

This is Aravindan.

She is Reenu. - Hello. - And this is Reshma.- Hi.

She is Ashwini, from Udupi. - Hi.

I shall take your leave. - Okay.

Here, hold it.

Does the brakes work?

See for yourself. Go to the hostel.

You can come when I call you.

Come. - Where to?

I have to show you something. Hop on.

We will take your leave.

Here's where you grew up until you were 5 years old.

Aravindan, don't you want to meet

the one you yearned for, all these years? Come along.

Go.

What are you thinking?

Have you tasted Udupi Masala Dosa and sweets?

No. - Haven't you? - No.

Come with me.

'Udupi Bhavan.'

Isn't it awesome?

Do you want to meet Janaki Subramaniam's son?

Vivek Iyer. IIT Kanpur.

He is in the US now. She has not abandoned her son.

Personal life.. - Thank you.

She never discussed her personal life. She never needed to.

Do you feel like apologizing to me? It's okay.

Eat the sweets.

It's very tasty. You won't get it anywhere but here.

Have you ever felt like going in search of your mother?

I do not know why my mother abandoned me.

I might meet her if I go in search of her.

But, when we face each other

what will I do if she fails to recognize me?

What if my mother is living a life that no son wishes to see?

You once told me that waiting for someone hurts us the most.

I would say that it hurts more when the wait ends.

Wearing a worn out saree and with a smile on her face

my mother used to call out for me to embrace.

I will not go in search of her.

She will come in search of me, if she is alive.

Someday.

"Far away.."

"in the sky"

"a star"

"twinkles"

"and that is you."

"Come.."

"Come to me"

"were your words"

"that the breeze"

"resonated in my ears."

My God! Who gave you the permission to investigate?

He does not know his father's whereabouts.

His mother left him.

Did you ever think what he might have gone through?

Let me tell you one thing.

Do not interfere in his matters anymore.

Let him live with the expectation

that his mother would return one day.

Did you understand?

'Will any child forget his mother abandoning him?'

'Hasn't anyone come in search of Aravindan?'

'Who would come? - Mother. I want to meet her.'

'I want to see her.'

'Will a Mother, who left her son in a crowd, come to meet him?'

'My mother used to embrace me and call out my name.'

'I will not go in search of her.'

'To my knowledge, Aravindan came'

'to Mookambika at the age of 5- 6 years.'

These drawings might be his memories before that.

Just like your friends said, these places exist in Udupi.

We will surely find them.

Did you apply shampoo? - What?

Anyway, it isn't Kerala.

None of the drawings have coconut trees.

Kids in Kerala, usually draw a house

with a coconut tree and a hill in the back drop.

All those drawings are of Udupi.

Aren't we going to the street that Aravindan drew?

I know some places there. Let's ask. - We shall someone.

Okay.

"I have the zest."

I do not know.

"We have zest."

"Zest." - Let's check over there.

Where is Surya? - Go straight and then, turn right.

'Surya cultural Centre.' Isn't this the place?

The emblem is the same. - Check the pin code on your phone.

101.

Adi Udupi post-office. - Adi Udupi post-office.

Let's check in the municipal office with his name and age.

His birth might be registered.

Come fast. It's 5 p.m.

Sir, we need some information urgently.

Can you help us? - It's 5 p.m. Office timings are over.

Sir, please take it. Come on.

Sir, can you tell us if a registration

by the name of Aravindan was done between 1988- 1992?

It's difficult to find it. - Give him the details.

I tried as much I could, as per the amount you paid me.

Okay, let me try. Wait a minute.

With great difficulty I got it.

Aravindan. Father, Balakrishna Adigar.

Mother? - Mother is Geethalakshmi.

Majestic Press, Udupi.

They used to stay in a portion over here.

The house owner was Narayana Shetty.

He sold it and went away. These people know only this.

Here. Isn't this the same? - We are on the right route.

The pin code is right too.

Let's talk to the Postman. They will give us the details.

Is this the Postman, Appanna's house? - Yes. Come in.

This is the one.

Hello.

Varada, you're a professional dancer. You cannot do these things.

Ma'am, I was.. - No, I hate excuses.

Balakrishna Adiga was a doctor.

Geethalakshmi was a trainee nurse.

The doctor left the village when the boy was 5 years old.

He says that Balakrishna Adigar was a doctor.

And Geethalakshmi was a nursing student.

He left the village when Aravindan was 5 years old.

After 6-7 months, Geethalakshmi and her son left Udupi.

The rent and loan amount was sent via money order

to the landlord, Mr. Shetty.

'I will tell you something. Do not interfere in his matters anymore.'

Money is sent through money order.

So, you will get the payer's address from it.

He says that they retain such details.

Will it be still there? - Might be

Sir, will it be still there?

Ma'am, it's not a courier service for you to not get it.

The Indian Postal Service.

The British founded it. So, you might find it.

'Geethalakshmi, General Hospital'

'Anantha Narayanapuram, Alleppey.'

How much is the fare? - Rs. 20.

Sir, where is Ms. Geethalakshmi, the Nursing Superintendent?

She is over there, in the C block.

Who are you? - I am Aravindan's friend, Varada.

Aravindan..

There is no patient with that name in this block.

He is not a patient. - Then?

He is Dr. Balakrishna Adiga and Geethalakshmi's son.

Do you know him? - No. I don't know.

Perhaps, I am mistaken.

Sorry.

A 5- 6 year old boy was abandoned at Mookambika

by someone. Please give this number if you find the person.

Okay.

I loved a man.

We stayed together.

I got betrayed.

I should've found a solution to it right then.

And the solution was to abandon the child at the temple!

Great!

I did not leave him at the temple doorstep that day.

Balakrishnan went to his native but never returned.

I had come here to study. How could I take a child back home?

I had three younger sisters.

I had to leave him at Adiga's Children's home.

I had no other go. - Please do not say so.

I will come back.

I do not have any option as of now.

Okay..

I begged everyone at home.

My father threatened that I would see him dead if I brought my child.

I have a family now.

I have a peaceful life.

Ma'am, do not worry.

Though he wishes so, he would not come in search of you.

You can live in peace.

Do you have his photo?

Yes, I do.

But, you need not see it.

"You're my vision, o' mother.."

"You left me alone."

Hello. - Hello.

Who is this? - I'm Aravindan.

Who is this? Hello.

Ma'am, please speak.

Hello..

Geetha.

What happened? - Nothing. I've a headache.

Then, take some rest. - Okay.

Are you a big fan of Janaki Subramaniam?

Yes, great fan.

You must travel to Kumbakonam to join her academy.

Are you willing?

Where is Kausu? - I just can find one bunch.

Hi, Kausu.

Hi, dear.

Didn't I say I would come? - You are a sweetheart.

Today is Navaratri. The temple would be crowded.

I need more flowers and so, I am here.

Malli. - Did you reach?

Yes..

Last time, what did you say while going?

I had asked you to attend the festival.

No, you forgot. I will show you something.

Look here.

Do you recognize them?

Oh! - My grandchildren.

I have taken the video too. Take a look at it.

My grandchildren are all grown-ups now.

Tea.

My husband gets a headache if he doesn't have tea.

Malli, make a cup of tea. Fast.

Tea.

Brother-in-law, this isn't your own house

to order for tea.

Tea. - Senseless!

Tea. - He is bull Prabhakaran.

How is he? - Did he bring the bull?

Bull has begun its journey. It'll reach by dusk.

Hope it does not need a separate room.

They'll adjust in a single room.

Varada..

'I have a family.'

'I have a peaceful life.'

Aravindan won't come in search of you.

You can live at peace.

Good evening, sir. Welcome to Mookambika.

Shall we go? - Yes.

I shall carry them.

Only 100, 150, 300, 1850

1900. 1950.

2000.

2100.

'JYOTHI'S'.

Your mom could have come along.

Hello..

Hello.

Hello.

Hello..

He studied in the government school till 12th standard.

He completed his post-graduation course here.

He draws and writes too.

He sings well.

All the guests who come here love him.

Earlier, he used to cry and wake up calling for his mother.

He stayed on the banks of Souparnika all these years.

But, he has never seen Goddess Mookambika.

He has not entered the temple.

It's not because

a communist brought him up.

Mother..

"My eyes"

"yearn for you, dear mother."

"You left me alone."

"You.."

"To be my shadow.."

"I"

"waited for so long."

"Up there in the sky.."

"Twinkling as a star"

"I see you."

"Come.."

"Come to me.. Are your words.."

"That the breeze whispers in my ears."

"Come to me.. Are your words.."

"That the breeze whispers in my ears."

"You are my mother."

"Mother.."

"Embrace me.."

"You are my mother."

"You mean the world to me.."

"I longed for you."

"My eyes yearn for you, o' mother.."

Varada.. - Yes.

We are going to witness something we always wished to see.

Come.

Really, my Goddess.

Hey, keep an eye on the shop. - Okay.

"Goddess, the ocean of love."

"Bliss.."

"Bliss.."

"Till date"

"you were in my soul"

"like the Souparnika"

"that flows.."

"Akin Souparnika"

"that flows.."

"Here I stand"

"facing you for the first time."

"Facing you for the first time."

"You are my mother."

"Mother, embrace me."

"You are my mother."

"You mean the world to me.."

"I know how badly I yearned for you.."

"Bliss.."

"Bliss.."

"Bliss.."
