All language subtitles for Thanmathra

'THANMATHRA'

One, two, three, four, five

six, seven, eight, nine.

We learned nine's multiple
with great difficulty.

Now with a small technique

I'll teach you how to learn
the multiplication table.

We all know how much is nine
multiplied by nine.

Do we?
- 81. - Okay.

Four plus four is equal to eight.

And the remainder is one.

So, eight and one adds up to 81.

Thank you.

Now we will learn it
in a different method.

How much is nine multiplied
by five? - 45. - All right.

One, two, three, four, five.

Take four and five
and it comes to 45.

Thank you.

What's the logic behind this?

Normally we do the calculations
with our left brain

and the creative thinking
with our right brain.

If we train our right brain
to memorise the calculations

that we usually do
with our left brain

like the ones in arithmetic,
geometry and algebra

as visuals,
it would be easy to recall.

The boredom caused by
continuous studies and mugging up

can be avoided using this method.

The man who immensely
contributed to the field of science

Einstein, has used only 10 percent
of his intellectual capacity.

A normal educated man

uses only five percent
of his brain.

So we have to increase
our potential.

I hope all of you will increase
your potential

and with that hope I conclude
my project on modern education.

Thank you.

The first project of science club

is by Manu. Very good, Manu.
- Thank you.

Next is a scientific poem
by Sabina S.

"When pipette and burette
were mixed together"

"permanganate faded."

"When Hydrogen and Oxygen
hugged each other"

"the world was flooded."

"When we push hard on the tuning
fork.." - Oh, no!

Even though the old hag can't
see properly, she aims correctly.

Stand up.
Stand up, Anjali.

What nonsense are you doing?

Why are you behaving like a child?

Teacher, actually..

Stop it. I don't want to hear
any explanations.

Bring back the duster.
- Okay.

I saw you getting restless.

Stand in that corner
till the class gets over.

Silence..
Continue.

"If you stare with anger"

"neutrons and protons
will collide with each other."

"The frog in the paddy field.."
- Anjali.

"Felt ashamed."

"Operation theatre.."

Hey!
- What?

Shall we go and have a pizza?

What?
- Yes.

Today is my birthday.

Wow! Happy birthday, Anjali.

Many many happy returns of the day.
- Thank you.

"Happy birthday to you."

"Happy birthday, dear Anjali."

"Happy birthday to you."

Many many happy returns of the day.
- Thank you.

Happy birthday.
- Thank you.

Would you like to drink something?

Wine, can beer, coke or something.

What do you like, sir?

Wine, beer. - No.
A lemonade will do.

Shut up, you moron!

I'll pay the bill.

They won't serve
your local drinks here.

Two coke
and one plate of French fries.

We will serve you in two minutes.
- Okay.

Why do you look so scared?

Leave all that.
Where is my birthday gift?

What? You didn't inform me
in advance.

Oh, really?

Last time I bought you ice cream

when I gave candies
to my other friends.

And?
- Tell me.

Do you expect me
to remember all that?

Smarty-pants!
Damn! What will I gift her?

This time I didn't even buy
candies for my friends.

My mom..
- Okay. Be quiet.

Close your eyes.

Be prepared for a magical journey.

My desire is like a breeze.

You are in every rain drops.

And you look like
a pretty princess.

Oh, God!

Long live the revolution..

Oh, no! It's bleeding.

Why did you do it?
- Sorry. I'm sorry, Anjali. Sorry.

What's wrong with you?

Long live the revolution.
- Long live the revolution.

Long live the revolution..

Hail Kerala Secretariat

Implement the revised pay structure

Implement the revised pay structure

The salary structure that
came into effect in March 1997

has not been revised
for the last eight years.

The government has deceived

its officers and teachers
for a very long time.

Dear fellow mates.

Dear fellow mates.

During the last eight years

the prices of essential commodities

have sky-rocketed.

During the last one year

the prices of petrol and diesel
have been increased five times.

The cost of onion which
was once Rs. 8 per kg

has now shot up to Rs. 22.
- Hello.. Who?

We are in such bad situation..
- Come. - ...that we have to buy..

Home. - ...essential commodities
from the neighbouring states.

This is a menace which is slowly
planting its seeds.. - Who is it?

Call from home. - ...in our
lifestyle.. - Hello. What is it?

The reason for its growth..
- It's only 5'o clock.

...is the excessive dependency..
- Yes, that's right.

The result of globalisation..
- I'm in a meeting.

The culture of our..
- Please don't panic.

I will just enquire at his school.

The eagerness to copy
western style.. - Okay.

...will have a drastic impact
on our future generation.

Left right left..

We've purposely refrained him
from extracurricular activities.

Make sure that he does not
get distracted from studies.

Let him utilize his time
to study.

I'm sure he will be a rank holder.

That's not really my aim.

Neither do I want to send my son
for medical or engineering courses.

Sir, what you said makes sense.

Doctors and engineers
aren't in demand now.

Now the boom is in the IT sector.

They get paid handsomely.

That's for a temporary period
of time.

You must be able to get
into a respectable profession.

Something like an IAS officer.

For that, mugging up a
few subjects won't help.

They should have a positive
attitude towards everything.

Especially general knowledge.
- That's right.

But it's not easy to clear
the civil service exam.

I don't have to tell you
anything in specific.

Above all, luck should favour you.
- Left right left..

Left right left.. - Right, sir?
- Yes, indeed.

Why are you in a hurry? - I
would've moved faster if I could.

I'm very late.

Oh, no. - Oh, my God. - Sir.
- What's wrong with you?

Sorry, sir. Very sorry. Sorry..
- Please help me. - I'm too late.

See you.
- Go fast.

They are waiting for you.
- Oh, shit! I screwed up!

Hey, where were you all this time?

Oh! So you have come back
from your tuitions.

Oh, my God!
You scared the shit out of me.

Where were you all this time?

Why are you laughing?

I enquired about you everywhere.

Why do you always lock the house?

Please open the door.
I have a severe headache.

Oh, God! He is lying.

He just wants to dodge questions.
- I'll..

Don't worry.
I'll teach you a lesson.

Look. Dad is here.

Don't try to fool me.

Why did you come late?

Dad is also late today.

What happened?
- Didn't you hear me?

Now both of you can
cross-question me.

Are you happy now?

Please disperse.

Please get back to your houses.
Please leave, ma'am.

Get inside, you little girl.

He's lying.
- Yes.

That's why he's trying
to play safe. - Yes.

He is lying through his teeth.

What are you doing inside?
- Oh, no.

It's been a while now.
- I'm just about to finish.

Don't try to act smart with me.

You came home two hours late.
- No.

That's not correct.

Really?
Then please come fast.

Please give us a satisfactory
explanation. - Here.

Please come out.
- Shit!

Dad, do you know Vivek?

Who? - The one whose house
is in Ambalamukku.

What?
- He was in NCC last year.

Yes. Isn't he the
NCC captain this year?

Yes. He's the one.

We take the same path home.

While we were returning
by bicycle, he felt dizzy.

Then I kept my cycle in a shop and
dropped him back in a rickshaw.

His mother insisted me to have tea.

And that's how I got late.

You should have at least
called me from there.

Idiot!

I told you that he wouldn't
loaf around anywhere.

Anyway, don't repeat it.

Your exams are nearing.

You shouldn't roam around
till your exams get over.

Oh, dear God!
Thanks.

When I was in fourth grade

I went to play after school
without informing my parents.

Which game did you play?

Those days kids did not
have enough money

to buy balls to play.

We used to play

with a ball made of plastic.

I got so engaged in my game
that I lost track of time.

When I didn't return from school

the whole of my village
came looking for me.

Those days kidnapping
of children was rampant.

At last, they found me.

My dad beat me black and blue
then and there.

When I reached home,
I saw my mom fuming with anger.

I didn't want to get beaten up

so I ran around my house.

Mom was in no mood to give up.
So she ran after me.

The family elders used to say
that running around the house

had a negative effect
on the mother's health.

She caught me and beat me
till her anger subsided.

For going to play without
informing and for lying.

But that beating
helped me in a way.

After that incident,
I have never lied in my life.

Poor mom.
She was very caring and loving.

It was very easy to fool dad.

My mom loved me very much.

You are so emotional.

You started crying.

Oh, no!

Don't hurt yourself by picking up
those broken glass pieces.

Why are you crying?

It's okay.
Anyway, we got that for free.

There is one more like that.

It's okay.

I..
- What?

I lied to you, Dad.

It's okay..

I'm sorry, Dad.

I forgave you
the moment you started speaking.

I was actually laughing
because you behave the same way

I did when I was a kid.

You are like my friend, aren't you?

'On 30th September 2001'

'I was on my way to..'

I was on my way to Bokaro

from.. - What are the two basic
theories of atomic structure?

Sir.
- The valence shell

electron pair repulsion..
- This is not fair.

What's not fair?
- This combined study.

Students should be
given the freedom

to study in the way they want.

Don't shout at night.

He uses the tricks and techniques
that you teach him

to become a big shot at school.

Really?
- No.

That idiot is excited about
her dad's return from the Gulf.

Manu, I have told you many times

not to speak
in an offensive manner.

You try to do a combined
study with your dad.

That's not happening.

My dad was very weak
in studies. - Get lost.

I thought you were teaching him.
But you are chatting here.

Get up..

Come and have dinner.

Come.

If you read a particular subject

for more than 20 minutes at a
stretch, you'll feel bored.

So we should take
some time out and relax.

Manju, switch off the TV
and have your dinner.

I'll have it here.

Then I'll put a bed
for you to sleep there.

You can relax and watch TV.

Why do you have to watch
TV all the time?

It's not good for your eyes.

Then you should have been
in trouble long back.

In my childhood, we had to write
five pages long essays in history.

Really?

No matter how hard we try
to mug up the life of Sher Shah

we won't be able to recollect
it fully. - Okay.

So my dad told me an easy
way out. - What?

Imagine Sher Shah

to be like the actor
Amitabh Bachchan.

Amitabh Bachchan is not good.

We'll go with the actor Mammootty.
- Okay, fine.

Similarly,
relate all the other characters.

It will feel like
your favourite movie.

Construe history as a movie.

Then if you turn
the royal decrees into dialogues

it'll become easy for you.

You can write the story of a
movie seen by you, right? - Yes.

It would be like that.

Even the word 'Sarkar'
was coined by Sher Shah.

Don't tell your teachers about the
things your dad teaches you here.

They will think
that your dad is crazy.

No. Our faculty is of the opinion
that he is a genius.

Oh. - He is still amused as to why
you couldn't clear the IAS exam.

He is saying that dad should
take a class for the students.

Dear, stop flattering.

You are going a bit
too far with it. - No.

No, Dad. He is really impressed.
- Hey, compass.

Oh, no!
- Hey!

Dad.
You had promised me, Dad.

You had promised me
that you won't reveal it.

What is it, Dad?
What is compass?

Dad, you had given me your word.
Please don't break it.

Mom, what is he talking about?

I don't know.
What are you talking about?

Nothing that bothers you.

Okay, now I get it.

It's something
that's bothering you.

Compass..
- Mom! - It's actually..

It's..
- Dad, please don't tell them.

No.
- The power is out.

Dad, you will have to promise me.
- Okay.

I swear..
- I swear..

...upon my father..
- ...upon my father.. No, my son..

...that I won't reveal it.
- ...that I won't reveal it.

You heard me?
- Yes.

I swear!

The teenagers behave
just like monkeys.

They are always confused

about whether to
play or study hard.

Whether to focus on their studies
or to love someone.

So that's what you were
talking about earlier. - No.

It's not that.

There's nothing great,
but still I promised him.

That's not fair.
You can't keep a secret from me.

I don't like it.
Get up..

Thank God.

'The silvery moon casts its
soothing rays upon the river.'

Haven't you heard it?
- No.

There is no way you
would have heard it.

I wrote this poem when
I was in 11th grade.

There's no point
in blaming my kids.

Even he may have love affairs
like his father did. - Okay.

Like father, like son.

Kids never grow up
for their parents.

No matter how old they become,
they will be kids to us.

"The silvery moon casts its
soothing rays upon the river."

"The silvery moon casts its
soothing rays upon the river."

"The gentle breeze caresses
the flowers adorned"

"in your mesmerising ringlets
and hides like a thief."

"Then in the rain of amorous
moonlight, love blossoms."

"The silvery moon casts its
soothing rays upon the river."

Oh, no!

"The birds wake up
to a chilly morning."

"Butterflies fill in the
rejoicing hearts."

"You pervade my senses
like a sweet ache."

"Atop the mountains,
emerges a rainbow."

"In their nest,
many stories are born."

"The silvery moon casts its
soothing rays upon the river."

"The eternal drops of love
are drizzling like a dream."

"The essence of goodness
is heard somewhere."

"A moonlit dusk appears somewhere."

"The notes of the flute are turning
love into a poetry."

"Listening to it, the faraway
forest sway whole heartedly."

"The golden heart of a woman
fills with exuberance."

"The silvery moon casts its
soothing rays upon the river."

"The gentle breeze caresses
the flowers adorned"

"in your mesmerising ringlets
and hides like a thief."

What happened?
- A cat was crossing by.

Mom look at that.

The cat is also travelling
with its family like us.

If I had not pulled my brakes,
they would've perished altogether.

Pussy cat.

The aunt who died now..
- No, call her grand-aunt.

She was my aunt.
- Okay, will that grand-aunt

and this cat reach the
same place after death?

It depends on their Karma.

It depends on their destiny.

They won't understand anything
if you use such words.

Of course, it was his destiny
that he got married to you.

You are way too smart.

Would you have married
anyone else if not her?

We have to expiate for the sins
we have committed in this life.

No way!

Do you know his ex-girlfriend?

Don't talk rubbish
in front of kids.

I know.
It's Ms. Sobha, isn't it?

That was nothing serious.
It was just an adolescent..

Then she wouldn't
have given birth to us, right?

Poor mom. Her stomach is full
of marks as dad pinches her a lot.

I cannot deal with her.

Hey, Unniyappam.

First, learn this. After that,
I'll give it to all of you.

Which means..
Hey, stop there.

Unniyappam!

The union workers
are not that active

as they used to be,
isn't it, Rameshan?

The government has promised to
provide us with an interim relief.

That's what they do.

They'd keep on extending
it till the elections. - Yes.

Then they would implement it
right before their tenure ends.

After that the next government
would have to suffer for it.

Grandpa.
- Yes.

When did you reach?
- We went home and then came here.

Can we take the body or should
we wait for anyone else?

Can we? - Yes. Where is the one
who should perform the rituals?

Call him.

They both started
in the morning itself.

So that his hand doesn't shiver.

It's really good that she left
without witnessing all this.

Who would've taken care
of her if she had fallen ill?

Mom.

Hey,
when did you reach?

Come, you can join us too.

There was no need for you
to come here so urgently.

You just wasted your money

to see those drunkards!

Shameless fellows.

She used to like me more than
Raghu and Sobha. - Nonsense!

That would be the reason
why she broke her promise

and got her daughter
married to a guy from the Gulf.

Poor girl.
She is struggling so hard.

She had taught good lessons
to all the kids in the village.

Unfortunately, her own kids
didn't learn anything from her.

That would be her destiny.

It's your destiny that you got such
a good daughter-in-law like my mom.

Naughty! She would never
talk things of her age.

Grow up quickly.

Then we will make you a
Prime Minister like Indira Gandhi.

She doesn't want to become
a Prime Minister. - Then?

She wants to become Sonia Gandhi.
Isn't it?

That's a good one!
So are you her mentor?

Thanks to some TV series, the kids
these days have started to talk

in the most dramatic ways.

When J.L. Baird invented television

he wouldn't have thought that
we would spoil it like this.

Mom, his general knowledge
is also as good as dad.

What?
- Did you listen to her?

She is saying that your
general knowledge is strong.

Not anymore.

Kunjoonju.
- I am here.

Yes. Feed the cow.. - Grandfather
was also a kid like you

who went to school
and studied.

I forgot about you, Chandran.
Did you have your food? - Yes.

There was a toddy shop
in front of that house

where we had parked our car.
From there..

Did you find that place too?

Of course, church and bar are the
first places everyone looks for

at a new place.

Do you know the reason?
- No.

Both the places give
you an intoxication.

Hot porridge with a little
clarified butter

and taro curry.

It was a special dish
prepared by your mom for dinner.

Seeing your expression,
I feel very tempted.

Yes, of course.

That would be enough
to increase your cholesterol level.

I don't have to worry
about it at this age.

Once I sit down,
it's really hard for me to get up.

When I miss your mom a lot

I have some porridge
with taro curry.

It makes me feel good.
- He is also like that.

He starts crying when he eats
some delicious ginger curry.

He remembers his mother.

That's how it is.

Taste and fragrance
are immortal.

It would always be here.
- That's enough.

Now both of you
can take a shower. - Okay.

I will take care of the cooking.

Now, clear the place.

Make it fast.
- Okay.

Like father, like son.

They start behaving like
girls inside the kitchen.

They get insane.
- Hey.

It's not insanity.
It's your destiny.

Stop giggling and give
me dad's potion.

Take it.
- Okay.

Did it hurt?
- No, it's a comforting pain.

Then take another one.

I am fed up with you.
You act like kids.

I feel like a kid
when I am with you.

Without any pressure
or responsibility.

The feeling that you are here
to take care of everything.

I have heated the water.
Should I bring it to you?

No, today I will take a dip
with him in the pond. - Okay.

He is of great help.

I wanted to tell you
something for a long time.

Then I thought I shouldn't.

But now

when people are going
to heaven one by one..

Some days when I
wake up in the morning

I feel very restless,
uneasy and edgy.

It might be because I am getting
old by each passing day.

It's just your feeling.

It must be because your sugar
level drops in the morning.

You should come
to Trivandrum with us.

You can get a detailed check-up
done at the Medical College

and then you can stay with us
for a few days. - No.

It won't be of any great help.

Can't you try for a
deputation transfer

to a nearby BDO office?

I might get one.

But if I continue
to progress like this

I would be the Joint Secretary

when I retire.

I couldn't fulfil your wish
of becoming a Collector.

I want to fulfil that dream
through Manu.

It's my dream.
If I stay there..

That's right.
I didn't think about it.

Everyone would be selfish
about their kids' future.

Whether it's you or me.

I will be here whenever
you give me a call.

I am not that far from you.

We are not the ones who call.

Don't waste his time
like this by taking him along

with you everywhere.

IAS is not that easy.
You need some luck too.

Kunjoonju.
- Yes.

Bring me the hot water.
- Okay.

I have told you so many times.

They have drawn these
borders in the saree

so that you show it off.

Let others see this too.
- Hey!

Wear it properly.
Come here.

I am not going
for any government job

to spruce up like this.
- Of course.

My mother used to say

that even if you are lying dead,
you should look pretty.

I have been practicing
this from my childhood.

Can I come inside?
- Of course.

There is nothing happening
here which you shouldn't see.

When did you reach?

Haven't you still taught her
how to wear a saree?

No, you know his character.

He wants to do everything
by himself.

He doesn't even allow me
to wear a bindi by myself.

Look!
She doesn't appreciate my efforts.

Now you can wear it by yourself.

Where did you keep my clothes?
- It's kept on the ironing board.

She wouldn't have kept it properly.

You are so lucky.

It looks good on you.

How is Mr. Soman doing?

What should I say?
You saw him yesterday.

He is like that most of the days.

He would start drinking
as soon as he wakes up.

Nowadays,
he doesn't eat either.

All the time..
- It's a kind of an acute symptom.

If there are any doctors you
know at the Medical College..

You don't have to know them.

You just have to take an
appointment. - Let's have food.

Yes. - Sobha, let's have
breakfast. - Let's go.

Come, let's have breakfast.

I came here without informing him.

If he doesn't find me
when he wakes up

he would create a ruckus.

There is hot yam with curd.
Come, join us.

We eat this regularly.

Let them have it. - We'll now be
eating this for a couple of months.

Sit there.

She talks like her father.
- Yes.

Why are you so silent?

Have you grown that old?

Are you feeling shy?

He is a student of 12th grade.
Look at his moustache.

Now he will quickly
grow up like his dad. - Yes.

After all the rituals are done

I'll visit you there
along with my husband.

You can have your food.
You need to leave, right?

Let me go. He would have
started shouting now.

The patient's willingness
is important.

She would have felt much
better if they had a kid.

You should tell Mr. Soman
everything in detail.

He would get the desired
result only if he himself wants

to get well.

S-Sobha,
I wanted to ask you something.

In our childhood, I used to make
fun of you by calling you a name.

I was trying to remember
that name since yesterday.

What was it?

You did so many things.

You used to sing the poems of
Bharathiar and Changampuzha.

It was like the typical romantic
scenes seen in movies.

Don't you remember?

You began to call me
that name in the 2nd grade.

You had told me that you
won't forget all that.

Let me be in your thoughts
for a while.

Then slowly you will remember it.

H-Her mom used to call
her by a name.

I was trying to recollect
it since yesterday.

But I can't remember it.

Then you don't have to think
about it anymore.

Isn't it Changarikutty?
- Oh, God!

How did I forget it?

Brother, I need that side seat.
- You can sit in the back seat.

I have told you many times
to lay a road here.

Then we won't have to take so much
of stress. - This is nothing.

It's because you
are not used to this.

Kunjoonju, take this too.
- Okay.

If you lay an 'L' shaped road there

a car can get inside the compound.
- Of course.

Why do you want
to cut those trees

that provide us
pepper and areca nut?

Well,
Joseph has arranged a car for us.

It's a used car,
but still it's in good condition.

I understood that.

Did Joseph arrange it?

Didn't you tell me that Joseph
had arranged a flat for you?

I have submitted my
salary certificate for that.

You know about the
bank procedures.

That's not required for this.

Joseph has already
arranged for a private CC.

There is a great demand
for cars on rent in Trivandrum.

We can pay the CC..
- Where will I keep this?

We can use it for
our personal needs too.

Dear, keep this here.
You can sit in the back seat.

No, the seat is meant
for the passengers.

This is for you. - Then you
can sit in the back seat.

Get inside.
- Move.

I will take the side seat.
- Okay.

I am giving you Rs. 50 extra.
Keep it.

Bye, Grandpa. - Grandpa, bye.
- Bye, see you.

You didn't reply to me.
- What should I say?

If it's about laying another road

I don't plan to do it now.
- Walk..

Well, you have already decided with
Joseph about buying a car and flat.

Walk. - People used to say,
'slow and steady wins the race'.

So better keep that in mind.

You are not lucky enough to park
a car in front of your house.

Next time,
when I come in my car

I will park it here and climb up
the stairs. - Okay.

I will come here to welcome you.

Get lost.

You always fight
with him before leaving.

You didn't even tell
us about buying a car.

Then why did you simply..
- Yes.

I find it really hard to leave
him alone here.

That's why I argue
with him before leaving.

He also likes to do this
than bidding farewell to us.

At least, he would spend the
rest of the day scolding me.

Let's go.
- Okay.

The engine is not pulling enough.

How can it pull?
It's filled with vegetables.

Have a look.

How is this?
- Good.

What is its price? - This stuff
is worth Rs. 400 in that shop.

But you can pay me Rs. 375.

What are you saying?

We will get this stuff
for Rs. 350 at Chala.

It would be a little brighter.
- No, it would be costly too.

Both that shopkeeper and I purchase
the good from the same market.

You visit him because
his shop is air-conditioned.

And you ignore me even though
I bring my shop here.

Look at this. It's made
especially for the festival - Hey.

Stop it.

Why are you taking the help of
festivals to increase your sales?

You won't allow them
to work, will you?

These files are still incomplete
because of you.

When I ask you the money
for chit fund

you make a thousand reasons.

This looks good.
- Isn't it? - Yes.

Buy it.
You shouldn't blame me

for not having a dress
to wear for the festival. - Damn!

She can pay it in instalments.

First, let her pay my instalments.

Don't think you can do anything
in a government office.

Take it away. Come on.
- Sir. What is this, sir?

We have opened

this big office here

for collecting sales tax
and income tax.

If everyone starts doing direct
marketing like you

there won't be any money
left in the treasury

to pay our salary.

Don't do your business here.
Get out.

Why are you saying like this?
- Get lost! Go!

To hell with his special offer!

Why are you shouting at him?

What can I say,
Mr. Vijayan?

I make them pay their chit fund's
instalments with great difficulty.

If he comes
with some shiny clothes

all the women would fall for it.
That would spoil my business.

After some time, another guy
will come to sell pickles.

What can I do?
- Thank God you reminded me.

Otherwise,
I would've forgotten to pay.

Can you adjust this time?
- That's not going to happen.

I've already made a deal
with him. Isn't it, Joseph? - But

why are you in need
of so much money?

You would only be in need
while buying that car, right?

Are you trying to break
your promise?

No, I would never do that.

Ms. Ramani.. There was
a jewellery shop called..

A small kid used to sing a song
in their advertisement..

Okay, leave it. She won a necklace
weighing five sovereigns of gold

in their jackpot.
It's a kind of adjustment.

They have to pay them
half of the amount.

Still it would be a huge profit.

Okay, but I have an emergency.
- What?

I need to buy an inverter
as the exams are approaching.

These days, we have
a power cut for half an hour.

I think it would only increase
with this intense summer.

You don't have to worry about that.

By the time they fit
it in your quarters

the rainy season would arrive.

Almost by then, the registration
of your flat would be done.

He has a plan for everything.
He won't say no to anything.

My dear sir.

If I wait for the interim relief
without any plan

I won't be able to stand
on my own legs.

If you are lucky, I will be buying
you an inverter today.

Hey, do you still remember us?

He is right.

We are waiting for the
interim relief.

His earnings are better

than some of our secretaries.

It's all because of his
planning and nothing else.

Perseverance is the key to success.

Which means..
- Mr. Ramesh, can you come here?

It means hard work would make
people rich. - The system broke..

The others would be
driven by poverty.

These are the verses
of Thiruvalluvar.

Or else, you'll waste your life
chewing tobacco. Isn't it Vijayan?

Don't try to hit a goal
during free time. - Yes..

Ms. Ramani, what else do you need?

It's such a good time for you.
I heard that you won a jackpot.

How did you come to know that?
- Of course, I will.

You should have informed us
after winning a jackpot.

They would be publishing it
next week in the newspaper

with a photo.
- Then we should celebrate it.

Nobody else can celebrate
better than Ramani.

I am sure about that. - Mr. Ramesh,
the minister is calling you.

Do one thing.
Call to the number 2341277

and ask him to check this system.

You may have to increase
its memory capacity.

Even though
it has been told many times

Mr. Rameshan Nair
is right about this.

The proposed express highway
is going through your area.

Because of that

it's a bit difficult
to give you the permission

to build a structure there.

But if you want..

It's not only about me.

He should also think about it.

There is no use in you guys
coming here from so far.

It's only a waste.

Our CM has ordered us to take
action without being scared.

Is that possible?

We need to help these people
who had helped us

to reach this position.

Its sole purpose is to
get the public excited.

This express highway
will never become a reality.

Even if we build one,
it would take a long time.

You should build
your building before that.

The problem caused
by the building

can be solved
by diverting the road.

There is enough place for that.

That is completely fine.

Roads must have diversions.

That is the reason cars and lorries
have a steering wheel in it.

Isn't it?

When a lady, the owner of a 3 cent
land, had approached you

with the same request,
you had objected her.

It's difficult for me to write
two different reports

concerning the same issue. - Okay,
you don't have to write it.

You just have to write
a single report without any issues.

You can use that for both.
But you must do it quickly.

To be honest, people like
you are ruling this country.

We are just taking
the policies to the public.

Isn't it?

He is the union leader.

He doesn't agree to anything.

Navas, go and meet him.
- Okay.

Things have changed a lot.

This is the most
unstable profession.

If someone lays his
eyes on this, it's gone.

You don't have to
think hard about this.

He has enough money with him.

If you do that, he won't mind
giving you a hefty amount.

Pickle..
- You should learn from him.

Why is he selling this here?
- Pickle..

He knows the needy.
That is his plan. - Have some.

How is it?
- It's good.

Why did you pack your lunch
in a banana leaf today?

I brought some banana
leaves from my native.

I felt like having rice from this.

It would be really tasty.
- Yes.

But it's hard to find
banana leaves.

You don't have to get
tense because of this.

You just have to prepare a report
without specifying anything.

I will plan the rest.

Pickle.. - In that case,
inverter won't be enough.

I will try to get even the advance
amount for your car from that.

Give me a sample.
- Okay.

Is it too spicy?
- Pickle.. - No, it's sweet.

Did your son start his revision?

The syllabus is not yet completed.

My daughter says that

he learns everything
before the teachers teach him.

He uses some new technique
to study.

Please let us know
that technique.

The principal has asked me

to conduct a class with students
and parents in the next meeting.

Did you hear that?

If we don't take leave
and teach our daughter

she would be the only
one to fail in the exam.

Today itself you should
apply for leave. - Okay.

When compared to other states

Kerala has a very
high literacy rate.

Also, we are way ahead
in the rate

of divorce and suicidal tendencies.

I am not saying this.

It was a report published
in India Today two years ago

based on a clinical survey.

Write it down.
- Divorce.

Getting separated.

Suicide.
To kill oneself.

Separation and perishing.
They are two negative words.

Did we learn this
from our education?

We conquer different areas
using our education.

But are we able to control our life
using this education? No!

The life of many educated
people is a failure.

Then why should we be educated?
Am I correct?

You buy new dresses

computer, cycle

mobile phone and bike
for your kids.

You try to give them
a comfortable life.

But do you ever caress them?

Do you kiss them on their forehead?

Skin desires to be touched.

There should be a valid
supply of stimulation.

Even a new-born baby
wants to be caressed.

A caressing would be enough
to rejoin the severed parts

of a broken relationship.

This is your first lesson.

Write it down.

I challenge all the fathers

among the parents
who have gathered here.

Can anyone of you come
forward and tell me a truth?

You might be thinking what it is.

Can anyone of you come forward
and say in this microphone

that the woman
sitting beside you

is more beautiful and smarter
than your wife?

At least, can you secretly
say that to your wife?

No, even if you have that courage

you won't say it.

Because your wife would
never appreciate that.

They cannot handle it.

It would mentally depress them.

Then why do you compare
your kid's scores

with that of the neighbour's kid?

Why do you compare
your kid with others?

That would fill their mind
with ego and rustiness.

We should always appreciate
our kids for each and everything.

This is the second
and third lesson.

Play with your children.

You should learn from them.

Listen to them.
Understand and trust them.

Try to boost their confidence.

I had touched this
microphone for the first time

when I was in the tenth grade.

I still remember the
Bharathiar's poem which I recited

with nervousness.

"As I stroll in these breezy
expanses, oh, Kannamma!"

"I spend my time
thinking about our love!"

"Those lips were.."
- What can I do?

Since Manu's father
is taking the class

we were about to leave early.
But then a work..

Silence please. - A lady wanted
to do make-up. - Silence.

Twenty-five percent of the
energy in our body

is used for the functioning
of the brain.

So increase your energy level.

If you consider the successful
people in this world

most of them used
to walk at a fast pace.

For example, Mahatma Gandhi,
Martin Luther King

Che Guevara and our ex-chief
minister, Mr. K. Karunakaran.

Also, our dear principal.

Don't just sit there.
Come here.

Please.

Let's see if he is capable
enough to teach our kids.

Don't worry,
I won't create any problem.

Please come here.
Don't worry.

All of you can participate
in this memory test.

I will give you ten words.

Let's see if you
can recall those words

in the same order.

Corridor, students

daughter, hotel, pizza, gift

happy birthday, window

long live the revolution
and secretariat.

Can you try to say
this in the same order?

First one is corridor.
- Corridor.

Daughter, students.

S-Students.. - Okay.
Daughter comes after students.

Next.
- W-Well..

Okay.
Anybody from the audience?

Okay.

Ma'am. - Me? - Can you try?
- No, I cannot.

Please come.
- I don't know.

Please come forward.
You can. - Go.

Go.
- Come on.

Give your phone to her.

Let's see how we can store

all these things in our mind
using a small technique.

Come.

I will make you say all the ten
words in the right order.

Hope you will say that correctly.

You shouldn't lie.
Okay?

Come.
Sit down.

Please cooperate with me.

Even you can try this.

Sit straight.

Close your eyes.

Take a deep breath.

Hold it for some time and exhale.

Take a deep breath, hold it for a
while and then release it slowly.

Please do this for five times.

None of you should open your eyes.

Please visualize
the things I tell you.

Okay, we can start.

The corridor
of your child's school.

Students walking in the corridor.
Your daughter is there too.

Look, you can find your daughter.

Corridor, students, daughter.

She went to a hotel
with a friend

for a birthday treat.
Hotel.

They bought a pizza
from the hotel.

Pizza.
- Oh, no!

She raised her hand in front
of her friend for her gift.

Gift. The friend sang the
'happy birthday' song for her.

When they looked
through the window

people were marching
in front of the secretariat

while chanting
'long live the revolution.'

Window, long live the revolution
and secretariat.

That's the story.
Now slowly open your eyes.

Now you can open your eyes.

Now can you try it?
- Yes.

You can even say it
in the reverse order.

Secretariat.

People were marching..
- No. Don't tell the story.

You can think that in your mind.
- Okay.

Just tell the words.
- Okay.

Secretariat,
long live the revolution

window, happy birthday

gift..
Pizza

hotel, daughter

students and corridor.

Did you tell about the compass
as well? - Yes.

Get lost!

Everyone is waiting to see
the failure of my kids.

Please look ahead while driving.

These kids are simply looking
for a reason to fail.

Isn't that Manu?

I shall!

Come on..
Come on, guys.

Sir.
This is great.

After advising
everyone to study.. - I'll be back.

...you are playing
here with your son! - I shall.

That's not fair.

Bring the ball.

Studies and games go hand in hand.

Every small thing
can teach a lesson.

Hi.
- Hi.

Where are you going
with the whole family?

It's like we got what
we were looking for.

We were coming to
your house to meet you.

What are you doing
with these instruments?

The youth festival is approaching.
- Yes.

I didn't want my kids
to fall behind in anything.

So I made them participate
in all the competitions.

That musician teacher only knows
one song correctly.

What was that?

"Play and enjoy, my dear.."

Isn't this Bharathiar's poem?

But every year at least five people
sing this song in the competition.

All the kids there
are his students.

As it's in Tamil,
there would be very few students.

Therefore, she has a small
chance of winning.

That's when she remembered the song
you had sung in that meeting.

It would be a different one.

That is also one
of Bharathiar's poems.

How can we make
a kid sing that song?

It's a bit romantic.
- That's okay.

Neither the students nor
the judges are concerned

about the meaning of the song.

Just because we don't
have any knowledge about it

it doesn't mean that no one does.

If Mr. Rameshan can sing
when he was in 10th grade

she can surely sing
that in her 9th grade.

Can you please sing it?
- I am done. - I will record it.

Right now? - Yes.
- No, not now.

I am tired and drenched in sweat.
- That's okay. - Good evening, sir.

Good evening.
- No, I will write it down

and send it to you
through him tomorrow.

That would be of no use.
You should sing.

If you could sing it now

I could teach her
as it's a holiday today.

"Do appear before me.." - Oh, God!
- Just fast forward it, Mom.

Why do we need this now?

Shall I record it?

You can sing softly.
- Go on.

Okay.

"As I stroll in these breezy
expanses, oh, Kannamma!"

"I spend my time
thinking about our love!"

"Those moon soaked eyes.."

"Those lips.."
Shucks! What's wrong?

I am not able to remember
the lines.

"Those lips.."

Damn!

"Those lips.."

No way!

Shucks!
I don't know what's wrong.

It happens sometimes.

You tend to forget things
when required.

Is Manu going to sing this song?
- Not at all.

I would've informed before
if that was the case.

I am participating only
in the category

of classical music, teacher.
- Good! - "Those lips were.."

Not happening, sir.

I will record it and send it
to the school.

You better write down the lines.

We don't want her to misspell
the words. - Yes. - Okay.

Dear, do remind your dad.
- Sure, teacher.

Come on!
- Well, that problem is solved now.

Okay.
- Okay, bye!

Bye!
- Bye!

If we don't jump high

we cannot smash hard.
- Hey.

You need to concentrate on placing
rather than jumping and smashing.

Just looking at the ball
and jumping won't do.

You need to observe
the opponent's eyes

and read their mind.

That's a lesson we learn
from the game. - Okay.

Hey! What is all this?

What are you up to?

Yes,
it's time for me make some money.

Ms. Sophie's husband, Varghese,
has come. - I see.

The first thing he asked
for was soda. - Great!

You have hit a jackpot.

I just need to survive, sir. - The
face is the mirror of our mind

and that mirror is our eyes.

One can read
other's thoughts on it.

My aunt used to say
that a person's heart

can be read from their face.

So, you find out my lies
by looking at my eyes, right?

Yes.. - Stop ringing the bell.
I am here. - I see.

Why do you always latch
the house?

Do we have any treasure inside?

So what?
Can I leave it open?

Mr. Varghese has come. - I got
the news. - Hello, Rameshan!

Hello! - How are you doing?
- Good.

What about our secretariat
and the government?

All well? - How come you landed
up without any prior notice?

That's true.

That is the life of people
working in the Gulf.

We just have to obey
the Arabs there.

No, I don't smoke. - Hello, Manu.
How are your studies? - Going fine.

Just fine?
Is that all?

Won't you get a rank this time?
- Yes.

Or are you whiling away your time?
- No.

There is no need to worry
about Manu.

Look at her.

She neither concentrates
on studies nor on dance.

Did your husband bring a
dance teacher from Dubai?

He is a teacher in high demand.

Many famous dancers and actresses

are his students.
- Sir!

What?
- Your fridge is overloaded.

Where do I keep the soda bottles?

Just a minute.
- Okay.

Do one thing.. - Sir, why are
you teaching dance at this time?

Actually, if we don't utilise
the whole day, is it possible

to gain expertise in dance

within a week? - Right.
- It is like a capsule dance.

Youth festival special.

Do you need this chicken today?

She is participating in dancing
and singing competition.

Her dad has got a poem
sung by an Arab.

There would be very few children
singing Arabic poems. - Sophie!

Yes! - Come here. - I want her
to get at least one prize.

Or else I will lose my reputation
in my office. - "As I stroll.."

"Breezy expanses.."

Kannamma was not just the love
of Bharathiar.

Kannamma was his whole world.

'Those lips were comparable
to the fountains of elixir.'

'Those moon soaked eyes
which are filled with light.'

Oh, no! It's raining!

Come on, kids!
- Oh!

Pick it up, fast!

Hurry up!
- "Those lips were comparable"

"to the fountains of elixir."

"Those moon soaked eyes
which are filled with light."

"Those lips were comparable
to the fountains of elixir."

"Those moon soaked eyes.."
- Manu!

Get me a pen and a piece
of paper. - Why, Dad?

"Those lips were comparable
to the fountains of elixir."

"Those moon soaked eyes
which are filled with light."

I remembered one more line.
- What?

'As I stroll in these breezy
expanses, oh, Kannamma!'

'I spend my time thinking'

'about our love!'

'Those lips were comparable
to the fountains of elixir.'

'Those moon soaked eyes..'

'Those moon soaked eyes..'
Damn!

What made you come out like this?

You didn't even change.

If I wait to do all that

I would forget what I remembered.

Didn't you come to check
the water level in the tank?

Get up.
- And is this what you are doing?

Why do you smoke in secret?

Just a while ago, I heard you
saying that you don't smoke.

That's because of the kids.

Just like I feared to smoke
in front of dad

I fear my kids now.

My whole body and my heart

seems to be dry in every sense.

You are so sensitive, Rameshan!

What is the reason
for this tension now?

I feel that the moments that
I thought I would never forget

are getting erased
from my memories.

That feeling is developing
an agony within me.

You have been tense from the moment

Manu became a student
of the 12th grade. - Yes.

"As I stroll in these breezy
expanses, oh, Kannamma.."

"As I stroll in these breezy
expanses, oh, Kannamma!"

"I spend my time
thinking about our love!"

"Those lips comparable
to the fountains of elixir."

"Those moon soaked eyes
which are filled with light."

"As I stroll in these breezy
expanses, oh, Kannamma.."

"Your skin glowed like
pristine gold."

"Until I am alive in this world.."

"I'll be completely engrossed
in your beauty."

"I feel like a heavenly
being here."

"I feel like a heavenly being."

"As I stroll in these breezy
expanses, oh, Kannamma.."

"Oh, creator of the world!"

"Oh, protector of all!"

"Oh, creator of the world!"

"Oh, protector of all!"

"Revere your mother as God.."

"Revere your mother as God."

"Revere your father as God."

"Revere your teacher as God.."

'Youth Festival.'

What the hell are you saying?

Even after weeks,
there is no report nor the file!

Do you think I am a fool?

I have doubt

that he has given
that file to some journalist.

Then he will face the consequences.

We raise our arms not only
to shout slogans

but also to beat
up people like him.

I want that file on my table
within the next 24 hours.

Sir, didn't you recognise him?
He is Mr. Mathan. - Oh. - Hello.

I had told you about his
construction work in Muscat.

People call me Muscat Mathan.
- Of course! I've heard.

Okay, then.
- Please sit down.

I am going to Muscat next week.
- Good.

Don't worry yourself
because of him.

It is his usual tone.

He is just pretending
to show concern towards us.

Don't misunderstand us, sir.

We are in a hurry

as we need to start the work soon.
- You do whatever you want!

What should I do?

To hell with the minister
and his followers!

You will get your file tomorrow.
- Okay. - Let's go.

Oh, God!
What are you up to?

I took so much time to arrange
all these.

What are you searching for?

I was searching for my files.

Have you gone crazy?

How will you find your files
in our bedroom?

Hey, just get down.

We can sleep on these tonight.

Look at the mess!

Where could it be?

Did you see my files somewhere?

Are you in your senses?
I didn't see any.

How will the files end up here?

You would find it in your briefcase

or inside the drawer or on your
desk. - I searched everywhere.

Let nobody eat or sleep tonight!

I'll have to spend the whole
night arranging these!

Manu! Did you see dad's files?

Dad stopped bringing files home
since my exams started.

How did this happen, Mom?

This is called

the destruction caused
by an elephant.

Mom..
- Yes?

That elephant has entered the other
room as well.

Your dad is just impossible!

What are you doing?
Did you even hear what I said?

You won't find it there.

I just arranged these yesterday.

Enough of arranging!

Do you know what is this?

Do you know the importance
of this?

You just know to arrange things!
- Look!

Look.. 1991!

The paper clipping of
Rajiv Gandhi's assassination.

This is 14 years old.

When Manu was in kindergarten.

It was an article published
in 'The Hindu'.

He just needs to refer
these collections

to pass the IAS exam.

I had treasured these
in my cupboard

and see where you have dumped them!

Just get out of here!

You would've dumped my files
also in some dustbin!

Hell with your cleanliness!

You won't even find this
in a public library.

Does anyone value this here?

Mom, please don't cry.

Don't cry.

Dad was just kidding.

Did you ask for water, Dad?

Hello? Hello!

Hello? Damn!

It got disconnected.

What is this, Dad?
You are sweating all over.

Come, get up.

Come on.. Yes! Come on..
You are so heavy, Dad!

Yes, get up!

Mom, serve us dinner!

You go and eat on the dining table.
- No.

You also come along, Mom.
- Let me bring the food.

You go and sit.

Here.
- The yoga instructor said

that we use only one-third
of our lungs.

That is during a normal breath.

When we take a deep breath

our lungs would almost be full.

Hey! Where were you, Manju?

Why are you having porridge?

Since you fought with mom

she didn't prepare any side dish.

Hey, why didn't you prepare
any side dish?

I can't cook now.

If you want,
I'll fry Papadam.

Will you fry it only if I want it?
Haven't you fried it yet?

Mr. Rameshan, can you keep
this chicken in your fridge?

Our fridge is almost full.
I will take it tomorrow.

Where is your dad? Did you have
your dinner? - No, not yet.

Okay, good night. - If you don't
take it tomorrow, we will eat it.

If you are so greedy,
then you better eat it!

Hey! Oh, my God!

What is this?

Who kept this in the freezer?

Oh, Dad..
- I didn't keep it.

Who else will keep your file here?
- Dad.. - What a shame!

No.. Why will I keep it
in the freezer?

Dear, did you keep it?

Do you think I am so stupid, Dad?
- Dad.. - I didn't even touch it.

You are caught, Dad..

How is that possible?

It is possible.

You have hundreds of worries.

What else will happen?

Such memory loss is a part

of everyone's daily life.

But people don't pay heed to it

or get conscious about it.

It is just a decay caused
during a man's journey

from birth to death.

It will affect
your body and mind.

We usually observe

such anxiety symptoms
and stress among parents.

Your dream is to make your son
an IAS officer, right? Go ahead.

Amidst all the dreams

small memory loss is acceptable.

You need to exercise well.

You need to walk and play.

And forget about your memory loss.

'The early setbacks not
withstanding like fund of optimism'

'was inexhaustible.' - How long
will you study the same thing?

Don't trip and fall somewhere.
- Get lost!

I know my tension.

I am not able to remember this
no matter hard I try.

You are not able to concentrate

as you have many other thoughts
in your mind! - Shut up, rascal!

I will beat you.
- What is going on?

At least don't fight on the day
of the exam!

He is simply trying to irritate me.
- Then what?

What is the..
- Get lost! - Hey!

What is the use of getting
tense at the last

moment?
- That's right.

Here, write your exam with this
pen. - Okay. - What is this?

Is it a special pen
for writing the exam?

We need to have
God's blessings as well.

It is a hallowed pen.

Then it is better you use that pen
for some good purpose!

Anyway, you will get half the marks
as God's blessings.

Shucks!

Oh, God! I am screwed!
- Very good!

You deserve it
for making fun of God.

Ma'am,
do you have any clothes to iron?

Listen.
- What?

If you're ready to ride the bicycle

we can go on this.
- No way!

Hasn't dad left for office still?

You can leave now. My dad
will drop me to school. - Okay.

Mom! Pray well!
- Okay..

Come fast.
- Come on.

Oh, my God! I am drained out!
- Is it a starting trouble, Dad?

Yes. - What happened to all
the vehicles today?

My cycle tyre is also punctured.

No way.
- Why is the key here?

I have studied..
- Wow! You are really smart!

Very smart people!

You tried to start it
without switching it on.

Is it?
- Yes.

Oh, sir! How could you
do this to me?

Even I didn't notice it.
- No, he is just kidding.

I had switched it on.

There would have been some dust
in the petrol. - Right..

Dad, let's go fast.

My exams will start in a while.

But I had switched it on.
- Right..

Please get my cycle repaired.
- Give me the money.

Later.. - I want the money!
- Let's go.

Both father and son

are making me work early
in the morning!

But I had switched it on.

Did you say something, Dad?

I had switched it on!

Are you still thinking about that?

You'd put in the key, but you did
not switch it on. - You're lying!

How can I forget to switch it on?

That is what I am asking you.

I didn't want to pick up a fight
there. - Hey, how is that possible?

Did you brush your teeth
today morning?

Yes. Why? Didn't you brush
your teeth?

I brushed my teeth.
But did you brush?

I did. Do you have any doubt?
- I have no doubts.

Then what is the colour
of your toothbrush?

Is that your doubt now?

Why do we have to remember
all that?

It is just a toothbrush!
- That's right.

But you used my toothbrush today.

Hey! Stop making fun of me..

I am not lying.

I just didn't want to tell this
in front of mom. - What?

You are trying to insult me!

You are lying!

Why are you getting furious, Dad?

Why will I want to insult you?

Everyone is saying that you
are tensed

about my studies.

Oh, no! Where are you going, Dad?
Stop..

I will cross the road.

Okay, bye!
- Bye.

The colour of toothbrush..

Why do I have to remember that?

Was it red colour?

Yes, it was red colour.

Or.. Did I change the toothbrush?

Did I take bath in the morning?

Didn't I brush my teeth
before taking bath?

I did use a new blade to shave.

Oh!

Hey.. Where are you going?

Can't you see the red signal?

Such a nuisance!

See you.

What is going on here?
- No idea..

Hello, good morning.
- Good morning.

Did you make me go around
for so long to come here?

What?
- Just give me Rs. 200 now.

The petrol price is rising
day by day.

Usually, we, the auto drivers,
make people go around like this.

Well, keep this.
- Hey!

No.. - It's all right. - Keep it
with you. We cannot take this.

The vigilance squad is always
seen around.

But we are genuine.
- Leave now.. My dear sir.

My house is under construction.
Please let me alone.

Then come to my shop
in the evening. - Okay.

Just give me a call before coming.
- All right.

What are you doing here
with vegetables?

He would've got it for free.
- That's right..

Good morning.
- Yes.

Why are you standing
here itself, sir?

Why have you come here
with vegetables?

This..
- What?

Where do I keep these?

Is that your problem?

Dear sir, will anyone come
to office with vegetables?

As he said,
did you get these for free?

I got stuck in a traffic block.

It has become so difficult to drive
nowadays.

Hey.
- Yes?

Where do I keep this now? - You'll
have to keep it near your seat.

Give it to me, I will keep it.

It is now that you feel
the awkwardness, right?

So sad!
They already look so dull.

It is so hot outside.

When I didn't see you for so long

I had given you a call.

Those flat owners had phoned me.

They want you to sanction that
bank loan as soon as possible.

Just call home and inform
that you are here.

Or else,
your wife would get worried.

Here, it's ringing.
- Just take care of this. - Okay.

We will need Ms. Susanne's help.
- Hello?

Lekha?

What is this, Mr. Joseph? Have you
started selling vegetables now?

I need to survive somehow.

Shall I get you some ladies finger?
- Damn! - It's okay.

Just add some grated
coconut into it.

What are you saying?
- Do you need so much time?

Just fry some grated coconut

and add it.. - Sir! Have you
been using my phone for so long?

Add some spices and grind it
together.

It would be delicious.

What is he doing?

Is this his house? - It is so hot.
- Sir, wear your shirt.

Bring me some buttermilk.

Have you gone crazy, sir?

Don't create a scene here.

Oh, damn!

You have bought vegetables
for a feast!

You have given me work
early in the morning!

Are you sitting and smiling here?

Sir, get up.

Get up.

Here, wear your shirt.

If you sanction that bank loan

you will get a new flat in return.

Shucks!
- You can even give it for rent.

Oh, my God!
Oh!

What the hell are you doing, sir?
- If this tomato is sliced.. - Sir!

Are you drunk? - If this tomato
is sliced.. - Come here. - Oh, God!

I got terrified.

I am not getting any smell.

If he had consumed alcohol,
his mouth would've the smell.

Vodka or Gin wouldn't
have any smell.

Still, there would be a foul smell.

I doubt that he has smoked

some strong weed.

That is the reason he is not
in his senses.

Look at him smiling now.

No doubt about it.

Sir, you do one thing.

Come here.

Go to the bathroom

and wash your face.
- Okay.

If you are tired, I will drop
you home. - All right.

It is better you don't work today.
- That's right.

Make it fast.
We will wait outside.

When a beginner smokes,
this would be the result.

One will keep smiling
and behave like a kid.

They will obey whatever
is being said.

They will do everything
in a slow motion.

The way you are explaining shows
that you are an expert.

I was into all this
in my college days!

Of course!

Anyway, you wait here.

He will be in his senses
once he washes his face. - Yes.

Where is the shower?

Are you taking bath there?

Oh, God!
Just come out now!

Sir! - Yes? - Mr. Rameshan came
to my shop in his scooter.

After purchasing things,
he left his scooter at my shop

and went in an auto.

Something is wrong.

He told me that he was late
because of a traffic block.

Does his scooter have any problem?
- No, sir.

I came here in his scooter.

Here is the key.
I have parked the scooter.

This not a matter of alcohol
or weed. It is something else.

Thief! He is a thief!

He is a thief!

He stole my scooter!
- What are you doing, sir?

Sir! - I had given it
in the workshop! He is a thief!

He stole my scooter!
- Sir..

I had given it in the workshop!
- Sir..

Sir! - He is a thief!
- Please leave me.

I had given it in the workshop..
- Please leave me.

What are you all doing here?

He is not wearing any clothes.
- I had given my scooter..

What is this, Mom?

Dad is just having a fever.

When Ms. Sophie told that dad
was admitted

in the hospital,
I got scared.

It is just the effect
of medicines.

Dad keeps telling that sleeping
cures one's diseases.

Bring that here!

Mom, you are so sensitive!

If you start crying like this

I will give you a sleeping pill
as well.

Isn't it, dear?

If you cry like this,
who will pacify us? - Oh!

There you are, Manu!

You don't have to get worried.

He is just having a slight fever.

Don't you believe me, Ms. Lekha?

She thinks that dad created a fuss
in the office. - Is that all?

Don't bother about that.

That man needs to be blamed.

Anybody would beat him
for his doings!

Usually I am the one who beats him

this time he got it from
Mr. Rameshan. That's it.

That's not an issue.

You better go home
before it's late.

You have your exam tomorrow, right?

I will manage tonight.

Did you call me?
- It is all right, Mr. Joseph.

We will stay here tonight.
- What are you saying?

Your dad will then scold me

for making you stay back here.
No need..

I can take care of him
for this night. After all

he is my friend.
Isn't it, sir?

You can leave.
Go home and study.

Come on.

How will I study without my dad?

How can we sleep without our dad?

Don't cry.

Dear..

What happened, dear?

What happened to my son?

Where is he?

The fever is a little better now.
- They are scanning his brain.

Oh, Lord Krishna!

I was scared.

D-Don't you have exam?

Why didn't you go?
- It's just a model exam, Grandpa.

He will get upset
if you don't write the exams.

I told him the same thing.
But he didn't listen.

Since yesterday night..
- Joseph, right? - Yes.

How did you know? - It was easy.
Didn't you call yesterday? - Yes.

He always talks about you, Joseph.

What about the flat?

We can probably
register it in a week.

All his decisions now are based
on your plans, Joseph.

Isn't that right, dear? - Yes.
- Who is with Rameshan Nair? - Us.

You should go to AD ward. Go
straight and take the first right.

Okay.
- How is he, dear?

The doctor is there.
He will tell you. - Okay. Come.

Breathe in and out.

Okay.
Look down.

Yes.
- Sit down.

Okay. Do it again.
- Yes. Come.

Look down.
- Sorry.

Today, patients with Alzheimer's
will be given a check-up.

Okay. - Greetings! - Greetings!
- I am Rameshan Nair's father.

You reached early. - Yes.
- Hey..

Sit down. - Did you eat?
- Careful.

Wait some more. - Stay straight.
- I asked him to call you here.

Rameshan had visited me
to talk about his memory loss..

We are done. Get up.
- ...and its associated problems.

Careful.
- I thought that it

was a common anxiety syndrome
seen in parents.

When we analyse it based
on the recent occurrences..

Forgetting the way to the office
where he daily goes to.

Buying the vegetables for the night
in the morning by mistake.

To forget about the bike
and call a rickshaw.

Behaving in the office
like it is his home.

These symptoms are enough
to determine his illness.

Why aren't you sitting?
Sit. Sit down, please.

What's special about
this disease is that it is not

the patient who
needs the treatment.

It's the family and the others
around him who need it. Because

the patient isn't the one who
suffers because of this disease.

It's the people
who take care of him.

These are all Alzheimer's patients.

Normally this type of memory loss
occurs at old age.

Only a few people experience its
symptoms at a young age.

It's called Presenile Alzheimer's.

Yes.

Hello, sir.
- Hello.

Do you know who they are?
- Yes..

Yes. - The realization that one
would lose his memories

would create a lot
of anxiety and stress

in the patient at the beginning.

The common people who
fail to understand that

label the patient as crazy.

To learn about the state
of the brain when it's not working

is as important as learning
about the brain and its functions.

The damage to the brain,
Alzheimer's and dementia.

We'll understand the value of life
only when we understand this.

Ronald Reagan. He is the most
famous Alzheimer's patient.

There are more than 30 lakh
people in India suffering from it.

It is a farewell of the mind

that leaves behind a body
which can't even bid

goodbye to our loved ones

after the long journey called life.

Mom.. - We learn to say
the word 'Mom' through our cries.

All our knowledge,
achievements and intellect

that we gained in our life

will be taken away one day
without our knowledge.

Like this sea calls the waves back

we will forget our
recent learnings first

and our earliest learnings last.

100, 99, 98, 97

96..
Like that.

A journey
from our boring old life to birth.

The escape to afterlife
after living like a child.

There might be a lot of reasons
for this changes in the brain.

Didn't I tell you
that the treatment

is about how to take care
of the patient?

So, even the small child at home

should know about the behaviour
and disease of Rameshan.

Doctor, does dad know
about his disease right now?

That's a good question.

Let me show you some
psychiatric evaluation clippings.

What is your name?

R-Rameshan Nair. - Who are
the members of your family?

Father, Mother, Lekha,
Manu and Manju. - Okay.

Where do you work?
- In the office.

Yes.
What kind of office?

The office is in
Thiruvananthapuram.

Where in Thiruvananthapuram?
Is it the secretariat?

Listen.
Where does your son study?

He secured a rank
in the higher secondary exam.

But the higher secondary exam
hasn't started yet.

Yes.
He is in the SSLC rank list.

Okay. Do you plan on making him
a doctor or an engineer? - IAS.

IAS. Civil service.
- Very good.

Do you feel like
you are sick, Rameshan?

See. He forgot the name
of the secretariat.

But he has no confusion
about Manu or his studies.

He may be seeing everything
through his subconscious mind.

Using these evaluations,
we can understand some things.

Only God can understand everything.

I-Is there any treatment abroad?

No treatment has been
reported anywhere.

We can try some medicines to
decrease the pace of memory loss.

If you don't watch him like
a child, it could be dangerous.

But it doesn't mean that he
will forget everything in a day.

It'll be similar to the falling
of a petal. It takes time.

"When he threw one axe.."

"When he threw two axes.."

'When a magnet is broken, each
piece becomes a complete magnet.'

This is because..
- "That tree.. - That tree.."

"Made a ship.
- Made a ship."

"When he threw one axe,
that tree shook."

"When he threw two axes,
that tree leaned."

"When he threw three axes"

"that tree leaned." - Don't you've
to learn for the exam tomorrow?

"Made a ship." - Can't you study
somewhere else?

"Areca nut, coffee.."
- What is this, dear?

Can't you tell time to
concentrate on his studies?

He is the one who helps him study.
- "When he threw one axe.."

Yes. This is why I said
that I am taking him home.

Both of you
will keep saying this.

If he fails in the exam,
Rameshan will fail too.

One more, Dad. - Hey. No, dear.
He must be tired.

Come.
Yes.

Are you tired, Dad?

Shouldn't we study?

S-Shouldn't we study?

S-Study..

S-Shouldn't we study?
- It's okay.

You just have to listen
to what I am reading.

O-Okay.

'The attractive force
that holds together'

'the constituent particles
in a chemical species'

'is known as a chemical bond.'

Physically

unfit to fulfil my

duties.

Du..
Duties.

Therefore

I request..

Request..
- Request?

R-Request?
Request.

Yes.

R-E-Q-U-E-S-T.
- Request? - Yes.

Request?
- R-E-Q-U-E-S-T.

R-E-Q-U

E-S-T.

I request you to..

You to..

You?
- Yes.

Write that yourself
and make him sign. - Okay.

Okay, sir?
- Yes.

Come here.

If we give him retirement
in this state

what if he comes back for the job
after getting cured?

I won't even get my pension.
Let me just check anyway.

Hello. - Sir, it's the secretary.
- Yes. Tell me.

It's about Rameshan's retirement.
- Is it confirmed? - Yes.

He is suffering from Alzheimer's.
- Does he have the certificates?

Yes. He has medical certificates.
- Is it from the medical board?

N-No, sir.

Then ask them for the certificates
from the medical board. - Okay.

Retirement can only be sanctioned
if the medical board certifies it.

Or else it will create
many complications in the future.

Didn't I ask you beforehand
to avoid these complications?

That's true.

But I didn't expect it
to be this serious.

We can't blame anyone for that.

Can't you be kind at least
to your colleague? - Damn!

What are you saying, Joseph?
Don't you know anything?

Everything has its own procedures.

That's true for the people
who follow them.

Others need not care about that,
should they?

Just sign the papers, sir.
I will handle the rest. - Hey!

Are you crazy?

That's true. Normal people
like us are actually crazy.

You want the reference of the
medical board. I'll bring it.

Won't the formalities here end
with this papers?

Why do you have to make it
hard for these poor people?

Just sign it, sir.

Signature.

Signature.

Signature?

Here.

My friends, a farewell function
is happening in our office

after a very long time.

The main reason for this

is the popularity
Mr. Rameshan had between us.

The way he has served

the organization and its people
for the past 20 years

is an example that shows

how one should plan their life

and make it more meaningful.

I am not going to take long.
On this occasion

I would like to congratulate him

and his family.

I also pray for his good health
to the God.

Sir, say something.

Just a few words.

Okay.

Dad.

'Greetings!'

'R-Respected'

'c-co-workers'

'and friends.'

I think he can't see either.
- Yes.

'I-I thank'

'e-everyone'

'f-for loving me'

'a-and help..'

'And help..'

And helping me.

Yes. - And helping me.
- 'And helping me..'

'And helping me..'
- In the job..

'I-In the job..'

'I-In the job..'

Oh, God. This is very unexpected.
- 'I-In the job'

'all this time.'

"Like when the petals
that fell of the rose"

"joins back together."

"Like the whispering
of the leaves"

"b-becomes sweet music."

"Like when the petals
that fell of the rose"

"joins back together."

"Like the whispering
of the leaves"

"becomes sweet music."

"The moon blossoms in your hand"

"like a beautiful flower."

"In this silence of your sorrow"

"a new song is waking up."

"Like when the petals
that fell of the rose"

"joins back together."

"Like the whispering
of the leaves"

"becomes sweet music."

"Even the sun that comes"

"to rule the day daily"

"will go down in the night"

"and fade away."

"Don't weep, my bird."

"Don't waste your tears, my love."

"The rising sun will return"

"to this sky once again."

That's cool, Grandpa.

You didn't tell us about the road
as you wanted to surprise us.

Dear.

Oh! Are you
getting here only now?

What can I say?
Bloody rules!

The sales tax officer didn't
believe that we were shifting

to a new house, so I had to bribe
him. - Why are you wearing a dhoti?

That's how I am.

I am like this when I reach
near my native. I will do any job.

That's how we are.
Hey. Help me unload. - Yes.

Yes.

Is this why he told me
to make this way?

W-Why are you not saying anything?

Didn't you tell me to do this?

Is this enough for that vehicle
to pass through, Joseph? - Sir..

Father-in-law.

Father-in-law.
- Yes.

Dear!

T-This is my home.
T-This is my home.

T-That one.

Changarikutty.

Changarikutty.

Aunt!

Aunt!

Aunt!

Dear. Tell her to make
something to drink. Go.

Yes. Joseph.
- Yes. Come in.

Let me unload this. We don't have
to fear the labour's union here.

During our childhood

when he used to squeeze my cheeks

I would cry very loudly.

I was very little back then.

His mother used to hit him
for doing that to me.

After that, whenever
he used to come near me

I would cover both my cheeks.

F-Father-in-law needs it
without much sugar.

I know how to make it for uncle.

After a while,
I began to run after him.

To make him squeeze my cheeks.

We haven't been able to milk
the cow since uncle left.

Give this to them.

I will roast the banana.
- Okay.

When I got older,
everything ended.

When he said that he was going..
- Here.

...to buy a car,
I immediately made a shed.

So we have a place
now to keep all this.

I did ask him to buy a car, but
he hadn't made a final decision.

God is the one who
decides everything.

Otherwise,
why did I make this shed

and that way even before

he bought the car?
- Making the road was a smart move.

Or else we would have broken
our spine by carrying these.

Yes.

This doesn't have much sugar.

Give him a glass of coffee, dear.
- Yes.

What are you two doing?
The glass will break.

I'll sell the bike and other things
and will bring the money in a week.

Since it's our need,
people are trying to trick us.

I have handled everything else.

Only in your case,
my planning went wrong.

See you, sir.

There is banana roast.

Pack some. I will be late
if I start to eat it here.

Yes.
I am coming.

Take five more. - Okay.
- No. - This is enough.

My plans are all ruined now.
- Okay.

No matter how fast we drive,
we'll reach home only by night.

Isn't it, Chandran? - Yes.
- My house is being built.

My wife will start to call me
if I get late.

She is an impatient one.
Hey! - Joseph.

Thanks a lot.
- This is nothing.

I had to do at least this
much for Mr. Rameshan.

What?
- Banana roast. - Yes.

You should go to entrance
coaching, dear. - Okay.

Thank you, sir.
- Call me if you need anything.

See you. I will try to come
next week with the advance amount

of the apartment
and the pension papers. - Okay.

Okay?
- Okay. - Sir!

Okay, sir!

Bye! Bye, sir! Bye.
- Okay, dear.

Okay!

Okay. - Okay..
- Okay..

Okay.

Here.
Open your mouth.

We didn't have dinner.
Serve dinner.

Who told you that we didn't.

I am the one who served it to you.

Try to remember that.
Porridge with clarified butter.

Do you remember now?

We didn't have dinner.

We did have dinner.
You are just imagining it.

Here.
You have to eat it after dinner.

Open your mouth.

Here.

I-I was saying..

I was saying..

I-I don't know.

Aren't you able
to say it correctly?

Aren't you able
to say it correctly?

Yes.

It's okay.

Just keep talking.

Being silent is the problem.

Everything will be all right.

What is that sound, dear?

The glass fell down.
- Okay.

Clean it now.
Or someone will get hurt.

Lord Krishna!

Why didn't you use eyeliner?

Why didn't you put vermilion
on your head?

What, dear?
What did you say?

Say it again.

You just spoke clearly now.

Say it again.

D-Don't stand in the rain too long.

Aunt will scold.

A-Aunt will scold you.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

Rameshan!

Son! - He is not here,
Father-in-law. - Dear.

Check upstairs.
- Okay.

Dear!
Manu! - What, Mom?

Manu!
- Yes. What is it?

Manu, did you father come here?
- No. I just woke up.

What is it, dear?

What? Isn't he there?
- No. - What?

Is he bathing in the pond?
- Oh, God!

Dad..
- Dear!

Dad!

Dear!

Dear!

Father-in-law!
- Don't worry.

H-He knows how to swim.

Father-in-law.

Mom, the newspaper guy
said that he saw dad going there!

Oh, Lord Krishna!

That's a relief!

What is it, Mom?
Did you find dad?

The newspaper guy saw him.
- Okay.

Oh, God!

Do you want one more?

I am happy.
Even if it was to see my mom

you came here.

You used to come here
saying the same reason.

Unniyappam.

Unniyappam.

You remembered Unniyappam
when I talked about mom.

Do you still love that?

Unniyappam.
Unniyappam.

If you can wait for 10 minutes,
I will get you some.

I don't cook
as good as my mom.

But I am not that bad either.
- Unniyappam.

Okay.
Get up if you are finished.

Get up and wash your hand.

Unniyappam.
- I will give it to you.

It's not ready.
I have to make it.

Come. Get up.
- Unniyappam.

Do you like it that much?

Changarikutty!

What?
Are you two being romantic?

You bitch! - Oh, no! - You wouldn't
even give me a glass of water.

You are serving him food.
You are faking it, aren't you?

You bloody.. - Don't hit him.
- No!

I will teach him a lesson!

No! - Get lost!
- No!

Don't..
- Get lost! Move!

You! - No!
- Who says he doesn't remember!

He just wants to hug you
like the old days! - No!

Your bloody memory loss!
- No! - Don't come here again.

Or else I will kill you!
- No! - Get out!

Get lost!
How dare you!

If you ever get out of here..

Hey! Get lost! - No!
- Your aunt is dead!

If you ever come back here..

Go away.. Get lost!
- What are you doing?

Get inside!
- Son! - You and your love!

What happened, Soman? - He is sick.
- I need to watch my wife.

If your son is crazy..
- What happened?

...lock him up. - Soman..
- If you set him free

people will beat him up!
Come here!

Go inside!
Just die!

What is it, dear? - If you ever
get out.. - Why did you come here?

Unniyappam.
- No!

Unniyappam.

Unniyap..

'So the Lord has compassion
on those who fear Him.'

'For He Himself knows our frame.'

'He is mindful
that we are but dust.'

'As for man,
his days are like grass'

'as a flower of the field,
so he flourishes'

'When the wind has passed over it,
it is no more.' - He left us..

'And its place
acknowledges it no longer.'

'But the loving kindness
of the Lord'

'is from everlasting to
everlasting on those who fear Him.'

'And His righteousness
to children's children.'

'To those who keep His covenant'

'and remember His
precepts to do them.'

'The Lord has established
His throne in the heavens.'

'And His sovereignty
rules over all.'

Sir, Joseph is no more!

My Joseph is no more!

He spoke about you
yesterday as well.

Call him, sir!
Wake my husband, sir!

Look how he's lying here lifeless
after seeing off everyone.

Who'll look after us now?
Tell me, Joseph!

Look, who all have come
to see you, Joseph.

Hello.

I'm not Joseph,
but his cousin.

He's smiling..
- Hello. Who is it?

Hello.
- He's smiling in his sleep.

Yes.. - He's smiling in his sleep.
- He went to sleep yesterday.

He didn't have any such problem.

Yes..
He had a heart attack.

We aren't taking the body
to his hometown.

There isn't anybody
in particular there.

He is smiling in his sleep.

His wife and kids were with him.

Everybody has arrived..

Yes.
No..

He is smiling in his sleep.
- Yes.. St. Mary's church.

He made us laugh
when he was alive, didn't he?

He's smiling as he has spoiled
our plans and left.

Mr. Rameshan, how are you?
Have you forgotten us?

Do you recognize me?
I am P.R. Nair.

He is Vijayan.

He doesn't remember anything,
does he?

Do you remember who
was sleeping inside?

We haven't worn our slippers.

It's all fate.

Why did you stop there?
You can drive it to the top.

What?
- You can take that way.

I'll climb the steps.

Mr. Krishnan, you've got visitors!
- You can come in the car.

Mom, look who's here!
You don't have to climb the steps.

The vehicle can come
to the courtyard.

What's up?

You can come in the car.
- Okay.

I'm half way through.

Tell me. - Why didn't you inform us
that you were coming?

What are you saying?
I tried to call you many a time.

I tried calling you even after
reaching Madras railway station.

I couldn't connect to you.
- You're right, our line is dead.

I forgot about that.

How was your exam?
- Okay.

That won't do it. Your photo must
be published in the newspapers.

I have publicised all over Ludhiana
that you'll be the topper.

Dear. - Why didn't you inform us
about your visit, Mom?

Where were you?
Were you in the kitchen? - Yes.

We couldn't connect to you
to let you know about it.

We thought we'd come here.

How are you, dear?

She's getting retired next month.

There were a lot of formalities
to apply for leave.

That's why we got late.
- Sir. - How much is it?

Rs. 450. - How much?
- Rs. 450.

That's too much!

Oh, God! - There's no point
talking about it.

Give him..
Come, dear. - Here.

He is working well.
- He does.

But he does it only
for a short while. - I see.

There isn't any continuation
in anything he does.

Sometimes he is very normal.

May be he is worried
whether he can't speak right.

He doesn't say anything clearly.

The first thing you'll notice
is such personality changes.

We have many patients
like him at our hospital.

Grandpa!
- Look who's here!

When did you arrive?
- I just arrived.

What is it, Rameshan Nair?
You seem so busy.

You're not at all bothered
about us.

Son, he is asking you.

Do you know me?
- Yes.

Do you know me?
- Yes.

Tell me, who am I?

We met the other day.

I see.
- When?

When did we meet each other?

We've met each other.
- Where did we meet?

Do you know my name?

I have met you.
- Tell me, Rameshan.

What's your name?
- Very good, that's right.

I'm Sukumaran Nair.
Do you recognize me now?

Yes.
- Who am I?

Sukumaran Nair.

Do you know how I'm related to you?

He is the one who
gives me eatables.

Who is he talking about?

The hotelier who sells
eatables here

is also named Sukumaran Nair.
- Sukumaran Nair. - I see.

So he remembers the hotelier
Sukumaran, doesn't he?

Sukumaran Nair..

I see.
He remembers the hotelier.

Ask him if he recognises
Lekha or not.

Okay..

Do you know Lekha?
My daughter, Lekha.

Lekha.

Come.

D-Don't irritate him
and get him tensed.

Shouldn't I know whether
he recognises my daughter or not?

I can understand if you don't
send him with us for studies.

But if you're not even willing
to attempt the entrance exams

people will laugh at your decision.

Do you remember Sathi's son?

They had to pay Rs. 30 lakh
for his admission.

30 lakhs!

If he isn't interested
in becoming a doctor

there are other good courses too.

IT has a very good scope now.

The kids will put forth
their opinions.

But do they understand anything?

Aren't we the ones
to decide things?

Once, he has a professional degree

he can try for IAS, can't he?

Even I spoke to him about it.

But he doesn't listen.

He's adamant that he wants
to do civil service

to fulfil his father's wish.

Hadn't Rameshan also been after it
to fulfil his father's wish?

What happened then?
It all depends on luck.

You can try for it
once you've graduated in medicine

or engineering.

There wouldn't be any risk
even if he doesn't succeed.

Dear, we wouldn't have
told you anything

if things were the same as before.

Your father would've taken care
of everything.

You should be practical
from now on.

The responsibility of your family
lies on your shoulders.

Why aren't you saying anything?

I.. Let me discuss it
with my dad.

Did you see that?
That's crazy!

He didn't understand anything
we just told him.

If you don't separate the boy
from Rameshan soon

he'll also go crazy.

What are you saying?
This isn't a contagious disease.

'I am like a light.'

'I can show you the path,
but you have to walk.'

They're here to take me
to Ludhiana to get me enrolled

for medicine
at Ludhiana Medical College.

Why're you staring at me
like that?

I will never leave
against your wish.

Oh, no..
What are you doing?

Stop it, Dad!
Stop biting your finger, Dad!

Mom!
Dad, let go of your hand!

What is it? What happened, Manu?
- Stop it, Dad. Look at him, Mom.

What is it, Manu?

What is it?
What happened?

It's nothing..
He bit his fingers.

What's happening here?
- I don't know.

What is this?
What is all this?

H-He was thinking about
something.. - Put on the fan.

Didn't I tell you?
He has lost it.

He started collecting these
when I was in nursery school.

He wished to make me a collector.

How do I go against his wishes?

"Please, don't speak, oh, cuckoo"

"when my dear child is asleep."

"Please don't croon,
oh, nightingale"

"when my son is asleep."

"Leave, oh, gracious wind."

"Kindly don't touch them.
Leave.."

"Please don't speak, oh, cuckoo"

"when my dear child is asleep."

"Please, don't croon,
oh, nightingale"

"when my son is asleep."

"Without knowing that I
had turned an adult"

"my childhood visited me."

"Because of it,
the tree of life which I had grown

"transformed
into a little bud."

"Sleep, oh, dear."

"Sleep, my sweetheart."

"Like a mother, I shall sing"

"the forgotten lullaby for you."

"Please don't speak, oh, cuckoo"

"when my dear child is asleep."

"Please don't croon,
oh, nightingale"

"when my son is asleep."

"Leave, oh, gracious wind."
- 'District Collector.'

"Kindly don't touch them.
Leave.."

"Please don't speak, oh, cuckoo"

"when my dear child is asleep."

"Please don't croon,
oh, nightingale"

"when my son is asleep."

What happened, sir?

Are you crying thinking
of becoming a collector?

I was studying till late night.

My eyes are all irritated.

If God graces upon me,
this would be my last class.

I have my final interview
for civil services next week.

All the best, sir!
- Thank you.

Excuse me, one moment.

Didn't you finish your class yet?

I sold everything at the
price they quoted.

Nobody is interested in buying
bananas anymore.

Grandpa, I have good news.

What is it, dear?
Has the result come? - Yes.

Mom called me and informed that
the interview card has arrived.

Oh, God!

Congratulations.
- Thanks.

I was thinking of selling
everything else

except the house and the plot.

Anyway, you won't need this.

You'd need plenty of money
for your expenses

at Delhi and for the training.

Let me finish my interview first.

It all depends on the luck.
- Bull shit!

Three generations have
waited for this moment.

Wouldn't at least
one of us be lucky?

Don't you see him?

Though he has forgotten everything,
he's waiting for you.

I'm coming!

Hold this.
Let me feed the cows.

Thief. - Dad, it's me, Manu.
Mom! - Thief. - Yes.

Mom, what's wrong?
- Thief.

He has been saying that
since morning. - Thief.

He called me a thief as well.
I wonder where he learnt it from.

He might've seen something
and got scared.

Did you tell him about my result?
- No, you can tell him.

Thief.. - Dad, am I a thief?
I am Manu.

I am your son.

Why're you scared?
I am Manu! - Thief.

Thief..

Dad, shall I tell you good news?

Thief. - No.. It's nothing.
It's all right.

Serve me some tea.

T-Thief..

"Joins back together."

"Like the whispering
of the leaves"

"becomes sweet music."
- Dear! - Dad!

Dear!

Son.

Are you hurt, Dad?

Is it paining?

Dad, I passed
the civil service exam.

I got through the preliminaries
and the main exam.

He has his interview
next week.

The interview.
It's in Delhi.

You are going to win!

Your son will be a collector!

Who are you?

Who are you, sir?

Who are you, sir..

Why should I win?
Why should I win now?

Oh, God!
For one moment..

Please return my son.

To realise what's happening.

Please don't cry, Mom.

I studied all these years
to fulfil my dad's wish.

Now.. Now it's my wish

to make him sit on my chair.
- Come on..

We shall leave before it's late.

Are you all going to Delhi?

No, my granddaughter and I will
get down at Thrissur. - These too.

We have an offering to make
at Guruvayoor Temple.

Isn't that all, dear? - Yes.
- You may close it.

Son, call us when you reach Delhi.

Dad is having a hot temperature.
Take care of him.

Have you checked your certificates?
- Yes.

I'll call you once I reach Delhi.

Oh, God.
- See you, Mom.

It's been raining here
for the past two days.

Grandpa told me yesterday
from Guruvayoor.

It's very cold out here.

Where's Dad? What is he doing?
- He is here.

I don't know where he found it.

He has been ringing a small bell
for the past two days.

That's a good sign.

It's good if he's showing
interest in something.

If Grandpa calls you, tell him that
the interview is in the morning.

I will call you tomorrow
morning before attending it.

Around 7:30 or 8:00.

You've prepared well, haven't you?

Don't get tensed.
Pray well for me.

That is all I do.

Hello..

The moment it starts raining,
the power supply and phone

get disconnected.

Dear.

Dear!

Oh, my God!

Did you just hum?

I can't believe it!

Dear, do you..
Do you recognise me now?

Yes.
- Dear!

Dear!

T-The others..
- What?

The others..
- Manu has gone to Delhi.

He has his interview
tomorrow morning.

Oh, God!
How do I inform them about this?

F-Father..
- Father?

Your father and Manju
have gone to Guruvayoor Temple

to pray to God to get you
back at least for a minute.

Oh, my God!

"Like when the petals
that fell of the rose"

"joins back together."

"Like the whispering
of the leaves"

"becomes sweet music."

"The moon blossoms in your hand"

"like a beautiful flower."

"In this silence of your sorrow"

"a new song is waking up."

'Deshabhimani.'

"The bare hands have been drenched"

"and are adorned
with wedding bangles."

"As if the raindrops
fell like pearls"

"on the lotus leaves."

"This instant flash
of memory consists"

"of an entire life
filled with love.

"This memory calls for celebration"

"and it constitutes
the song of life."

"Like when the petals
that fell of the rose"

"joins back together."

"Like the whispering.."
- Thank God, it's working.

Why are you lying like that?

Like the way you used to lie
while playing with Manju.

The power supply is here too.

Hello.
- Hello.

Hello, it's me, Manu.
Hello..

Shucks!

Dear, it was Manu.

Why are you sleeping like this?

You're sleeping the way
a baby sleeps in a womb.

Dear, Manu will call us now.

Talk to him before
he attends his interview.

Dear.

Dear..

Hello.

Hello, Mom?
- Yes.

I tried calling you,
but it was getting disconnected.

What happened, Mom?
Your voice sounds weak.

Did you go out in the rain?

No, it's nothing.

Where's Dad?
Did he wake up?

Mom, I had a dream early morning.

Dad came to me and asked the
questions for the interview.

That's when I realised
that I hadn't prepared anything.

Your dad is with you.

He's in your heart.

Call me after the interview.
- Hello.

Who is your motivator?
- My father is my motivator.

Brahma, the creator God,
created the universe.

My parents are my Gods.

He, who leads one from the darkness
to light, is a true guru.

My father is my guru.

Guru is verily the representative
of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.

He creates, sustains knowledge and
destroys the weeds of ignorance.

'Even the sun rays that light up
the world lasts for only a day.'
