I showed him just one prospective bride.

And see how that one itself got fixed?

He has a job. He is in the police.

Am I in the police?

I will also get married.

Right, Bra-man?

Narayanan Potti?

Brigesh,

do you know why I called you?

There is a case.

But it got away.

Anything else?

There is...

a good case on the 16th.

A nice girl. Chithira.

- Is it her name? - No, no.

Not her name. Star sign.

Oh, okay.

I know her very well.

She is accused of a murder attempt on her mother-in-law.

- It's a fake case. - Oh no!

- That... - It's fake!

No. That won't work.

- Is your mother alive? - She is alive.

Oh, then let's drop it. It's risky.

Then, there's another one on the 28th.

How old are you, Brigesh?

I'm thirty...

- One. - Thirty one.

So, she's younger than you.

She has two kids, though.

Kids...

How old are they?

One is in 8th grade and the other in 10th.

- I needn't spend money on their studies. - No, it's risky.

There is no risk. They will go to school, right?

You will get lot of free time, right? You can enjoy, right?

- Have fun, Brigesh! - We don't want that one.

- What? - Let's search another one.

Brigesh?

- No. - For you?

- No. - Let's search another one.

Another one..

Yeah! Aries sign.

- 5'5" tall. - Okay.

A good girl who's getting a divorce for reasons which are not her fault.

What were the reasons which are not her's?

They are not her's, right?

But I would like to know the reasons.

It's not her's, right? So...

The reasons were not her fault.

- Isn't it okay? - It will be enough.

- That one is fine. - Yes.

Let's fix it.

Brigesh is okay. What's this guy's problem?

Can we book it?

It's okay, right?

Since it's a case like this,

there will be a lawyer fee.

Oh no! I forgot.

He just forgot it.

That's okay.

It's ₹1450 including GST.

GST is ₹50?

No, no.

I don't have change.

No, that's fine.

No, no. It should be correct.

Everything should be proper.

Kumaran.

- Hello. - Where are you now?

I'm with Advocate Potti.

Didn't we go to meet a prospective bride in Kallachi?

- They are interested. - What?

Just a minute.

Tell me.

A couple of her family members are coming to see your house today.

Won't you be there?

Menace.

Link.

News Agency!

Why are you silent?

Don't send them there alone. You should be with them.

- There are troublemakers all around. - Okay. I'll handle that.

- You come back soon. - Okay.

It must be in there. Check the bag.

No. I checked it.

It's in here. It's here.

Well...

- No need. - Brigesh!

- No. It should be the correct... - Not that!

I had gone to meet a propsective bride in Kallachi.

They are coming to see my house today.

It's almost fixed.

Also, these divorcees won't suit me.

Brigesh,

many have left me for proposals

from Kallachi, Kakkattil, Nadapuram till Kuttyadi.

They've returned at the same speed too. Understood?

If you return like that,

this girl won't be available for sure.

No. This will definitely be fixed.

You're sure, right?

- Aren't you coming? - Let me see some more.

Narayani Amma is coming. Boil water for the tea.

I was wondering where you were.

Why are you so late?

I'm really old. I need time to reach places.

A family is coming to meet Suma today.

- Who are they? - He's from the Middle East.

And she liked him.

But Raviyettan is adamant...

that she should marry a Government employee.

Make sure the girl doesn't end up becoming a spinster.

Will the food go down your throat only if you see Jisha's butt, Gopalan?

And you better stop sending filthy stuff on the phone, Gopalan!

No wonder he's still unmarried.

What happened?

If the vomiting doesn't stop,

it means that you're carrying twins, apparently.

Is it?

Stay still, Aishu.

- Don't move. - Here's your milk, Jisha.

Don't move, Aishu.

The milk is getting thinner, Narayani Chechi.

Thinner? Don't make me give you an earful.

Is your husband coming back anytime soon?

He doesn't have leave.

He better come soon!

Even with all these baths, you won't become any nicer.

Comrade Panicker,

if the CIF boys break into your house and cause a ruckus,

there's no point in telling me about it.

All the guys in this town have 5-6 fake horoscopes each,

that you've written for them?

People are saying that all the guys in Vanaja's block are faking horoscopes.

Then how will these guys get brides?

I had written a couple of them for Brigesh. Rest, I don't know.

I've told you several times.

Keep faith out of all this,

and do your work properly.

- Do you hear me? - Well...

Why do you still have to deliver milk in the morning, Narayani Edathi?

Aren't you getting your pension?

Did you look into what told you?

Let the construction of the party office get over.

He'll come for the inauguration, right?

- Who? - Chief Minister.

She has been wishing to see him in person for a long time now.

At this age?

What do I lack?

When did you start working for the party?

A big politician, it seems!

That wasn't necessary.

[Vanamparambil Colony - Chathothu]

Did you see the message I sent you on whatsapp?

- Which one? Kidney transplant donation? - Yes.

They are poor folks. Please do something for them if you can.

It's been 5-6 months since he died.

Don't come asking for donations with random messages that you get.

I saw it only a couple of days back.

If you keep forwarding all these messages to random people,

you won't know when people would come and beat you up!

First, send Jisha away from his vicinity.

Why can't you change for the good?

Gopalan,

who sends you all these messages?

It's all filthy stuff.

I can't even open WhatsApp these days.

All are nice people.

All are nice people...

All these people are really nice.

They are here for Brigesh's proposal, right?

- Where are you from? - We're from Kallachi.

Brigesh is a nice guy.

How did his wedding get cancelled last week?

Because someone said he's a chronic alcoholic, right?

Such a bad thing to do!

No way! He doesn't drink all that much.

In that case, shouldn't his dad be the one not getting a bride?

I've boozed with him and slept on the pavement so many times!

Okay. Let's go.

Kumaran is Brigesh's regular broker.

He must have brought at least a hundred proposals.

But none worked.

That's because he didn't like most of them, right?

You can send your girl to this family without any worries.

His sister will be here to keep her company.

She is always in the house.

He is a very loving felllow.

He doesn't get along well with his father.

His father is quite annoying.

He is having an affair with Mariyumma.

- Huh? - Yes.

Mariyumma is like a mother to Brigesh.

Shall I leave?

- Mariyumma! - She is a jealous woman! A crook.

Come.

This is his house.

Those people have come to see Brigesh's house.

Oh! Are they from Koyilandy? He told me about them.

No. They are from Kallachi.

They seem to be pompous people.

Didn't he say they don't suit him?

How many people came?

Vilasini has to keep making tea for all of them!

Let's go there anyway.

Come.

Where are you, Babitha?

This town and the townsfolk are really good.

Isn't that the prerequisite when a girl is married to a house?

Yes, yes.

- Are you the Dad? - Huh?

Yes. That's what they say.

Don't mind him. He has a heart of gold.

Let me check.

Okay.

She is his sister.

- Where did you say it is? - On the top shelf.

Yes, yes. Got it.

Wait. Let me check.

This...

There are many here.

Check it. There will be a Sagittarius star sign in it.

- There are two Sagittarius horoscopes, Chetta.

- One born in 1990, the other in 1991.

- Which among these?

I don't remember the birth year.

There is that grid with columns, right?

'Sha' will be written at the very bottom.

- 'Sha'. - Let me check.

- There is 'Sha' in both of them.

Oh!

Do one thing.

There will be a 'Ku' written in the middle. 'Ku'.

Is it a new paper?

Yes. Give that.

Hey Babitha!

- Coming! - Okay.

We should marry off the girls at the right time.

She hasn't reached marriage-able age yet.

Here's his horoscope.

Since she liked him,

we should come and check, right?

We prefer government employees.

We've got a couple of pending proposals.

Don't know why.

- She really liked your boy. - Yes!

Isn't he really awesome?

Yes. Of course!

Didn't you go there, Jisha Chechi?

Babitha could have invited me, right?

That's okay. Come.

Wait, kiddo!

What a state you're in!

Couldn't you get a facial done?

That's okay. Come.

Here comes the groom!

What's up? I was at the work site.

He has around hundred workers.

He should watch them all, right?

- Whom should I give the bill to? - To my brother.

That's okay. I've added only little to all the cups.

Let me go give this to them.

- It's his brother-in-law. - I'm in the police.

Well, that's pointless. He's under suspension now.

All of you, please have the tea.

Well, an inquiry is going on.

Okay.

-It's the groom's birthday, right? - Yes.

Well, how old are you?

I'm Thirty...

Thirty One! Yes!

Shall we cut uncle's birthday cake to serve with tea, Dad?

That's correct. Let's make this a birthday party, right?

That's good.

Where is the toilet?

Toilet is at the backside.

Okay.

Is there anyone inside the toilet, Babitha?

- Dad has gone there. - Great!

What does this man eat?

Aargh!

- Okay then. - Thanks.

It's stinking so badly!

- Is it? - Yes. Yuck!

Okay then.

- Shall we cut the cake then? - Yes.

Brigesh, cut the cake.

- Happy birthday to you! - Don't cut it!

We haven't kept this.

The kid will ruin it.

Didn't they tell us that the groom is 31?

What's with this 40 then?

This alliance won't work.

Get up!

Why do we have to waste time?

What did you say the groom's age is?

Our girl is just 19.

Don't think you can cheat us!

Hey Kumaran, if we see you in our town again with a proposal,

I'll break your legs.

- Yeah, right! - You should have some decency, right?

Why are you staring?

His fake horoscope!

He is as old as her Dad.

It's nothing like that.

This is not his. It's his brother-in-law's.

[How old are you?]

Get Lost!

Mom! This Uncle!

Brother-in-law.

- Bill... - To hell with your..

Come fast!

- Will we get the stuff? - Yes. Go!

This town is crazy!

They won't let anyone live in peace.

That's true!

A town where one can't even fart peacefully!

This town is crazy!

Don't blabber after drinking my liquor!

I bought this bottle today to find a solution to my problem.

What do you mean, boy?

Why don't you see my dire situation?

I even had to go and meet my classmate Sreeja's daughter, for an alliance.

The seven meets with prospective brides this month, flopped.

Where the hell will my girl be?

Though his proposals falling apart are not his fault,

I will say the truth.

You're at fault for this, Brother-in-law!

- Blame me now! - Why not?

This is the issue here!

Can't you see this bottle that won't stand on the ground?

Brandy!

Whiskey!

Rum!

We should avoid such filthy stuff...

and get some good Scotch Whiskey,

or Double Scotch!

As soon as we enter the frontyard, it feels filthy, right?

The only solace is...

when we see Jisha.

Brother-in-law!

Don't spoil this serious discussion in the name of cheap liquor.

Oh.

We can buy you as much liquor as you want.

- But I need to get what I want. - Okay.

Let's see if non-Government employees can find brides here!

True that!

From today, to get Brigesh married,

let's work together!

That's it!

To all the ones whose weddings get cancelled due to mismatched star signs,

and the ones whose profiles don't match completely,

and to the ones suffering from cursed horoscopes and messy stars signs...

Come! Come on, Bro!

- Do I have your word? - Yes!

Cheers!

What all promises were given to me!

When I heard brother-in-law's bragging,

I thought I'll get married right away.

Brigesh, I'm not carrying it in my wallet,

to give it to you when you ask me.

The girls you meet should like you, right?

Useless Brother-in-law!

No, I won't speak.

Hey, Bra-man!

The vagabond is back?

Where are you coming from?

What's this build-up for?

I'm here with solutions for all the issues.

Black magic won't work, dear!

What is this, Brother-in-law?

It's not black magic.

- Kodagu Hudugi. - Kodagu Hudugi?

Yes. It means, "A beautiful girl from Coorg".

A golden opportunity to marry beautiful girls from Coorg.

17, 18, 19...

20 years old max!

Get lost, man!

Hey, I'm not kidding.

Three salesmen in a textile shop in Kanhangad where I supply brassieres...

got married!

They were worse than this guy.

- Is it? - Yes.

Yesterday, I attended the wedding of one of them.

The groom...

is 41 years old.

The bride is just 19.

Yes.

If I really want to,

I can get the broker's number from the newly married groom.

Do you want it?

- I want it. - Get it then.

- Fix a drink then. - Let that happen!

Brigesh,

your town and your family doesn't need you, but Coorg needs you, from today.

From today, you are Coorg Brigesh.

Don't overdo it.

- Don't you need water? - I'll have it with lunch.

Hey, Brigesh!

The Coorg plan is on!

Is it?

- You need to pay ₹1 Lakh to the agency. - Tell him about the offer.

- Offer? - Yeah.

₹1.5 Lakhs for the girl,

₹50,000 for the Dad, ₹30,000 for the Mom.

And ₹30,000 for her younger brother if he is employed.

Or else, you will have to pay ₹20,000.

If you want to stay there, you need to book a room.

You might have to build a toilet as well.

In total, it will cost around ₹3.5 Lakhs. Do you want it?

This is your last chance, okay?

Tell me if you agree.

Let's go this Sunday itself. What say?

You will have go to work every day.

Good for him if he does!

What are you thinking? Just say it!

- I agree. - Then let's go, right?

- Get on with your work. - Paint it.

Brigesh,

do you really need this?

Think once more.

Isn't it better to die drinking sweat, instead of dying of thirst?

Move!

Yes, yes.

I'm coming.

Hey!

Hey!

You all can freshen up here.

After breakfast, we need to travel 14 kms into the remote area.

We have to go further there.

Come, come!

Let's get down.

Come, come.

Go, buy a vessel from there.

- What? - A vessel.

Vessel!

- Give him a vessel. - Here is the vessel.

How much for this vessel, brother?

Here, Bro.

Here's your vessel, you Sloth!

Give it.

Where are we going?

Come. Let's go and sit freely in the open.

Don't they have toilets here?

- Don't you know it, idiot? - No.

This is how things are here.

Yes.

Defecating in the open is a vibe, right?

What vibe? If someone sees us...

Wouldn't there be a toilet at the girl's house?

We will be taking the girl back home, right?

But still...

We should set a condition that they can't do it in the open there. Okay?

Even after paying so much money...

Brigesh,

however big a toilet may be,

people who are used to defecating in the open, can't do it there.

Brigesh,

I'll tell you something.

If you and your bride mess up the place near the pipe,

you'll see my true colours.

- Wait. - What?

That's a good spot. Let's sit there.

- Oh! - I'm going first.

Brigesh,

he is Mallappa.

Give him ₹3,000.

We're going to meet a girl now, right?

- That girl is his! - Yes!

Hey, it's ₹3,000 for one girl.

Don't spend too much just because you have lots of money. Understood?

Thimmappa, give this to Mallappa.

- Keep it. - Brigesh,

don't tell this to anyone back home.

If you say it,

all wastrels from there will come here searching for girls.

Soon, all the girls here will say that they prefer government employees.

So, don't say anything to anyone.

I also want to marry a girl from Coorg.

- You? - Yes.

That's not what's bothering me.

19-20 is too young, right?

Given my age,

it would have been better if the girl were a bit older.

I'm turning thirty...

That's enough!

Stop it.

All of us know that you are 40.

Well, even if he gets a bride from here,

how will he manage without knowing her language?

- Don't worry about that, bro. - Why?

I'll be with them for some time, right?

What?

Will you go to their bedroom to teach them the language?

- Not that. - You'll be slapped then!

Language isn't an issue for that, right?

Stop, stop!

Thimmappa, please don't bring more people into the car.

[indistinct conversation]

This temple houses a powerful deity.

If you pray here, you'll definitely get married, Brigesh.

Is it?

A temple?

Is she a priest's daughter?

Greetings.

Come, come.

They are from Kerala.

Give him ₹1001.

We have to pay for everything here!

O' Lord Krishna!

Do you have ₹1?

- Do you have it? - Let me check.

Thanks.

There he comes.

By the way, Brigesh,

before going to meet the girl in Bonikuppa,

there's another offer.

There's a girl in Somwarpet.

100 acres of pepper farms...

and around 60 cattle.

She's still unmarried.

Interested?

Consider it, Brigesh.

If this works, you can settle down, right?

Yes. Then he too can settle in your house.

Is it the Royal Mysore Palace to settle down?

Let me see the girl first.

- Oh my dear Brigesh! - Hey!

Come, Mallappa.

- Come quickly, brother-in-law. - Coming, man!

- Is this the house? - Yes.

It's not bad.

Looks like a good agrarian family.

Greetings, Gowda!

They are from Kerala.

- Isn't she okay? - Double okay.

Don't change it later.

No. This is fine!

Be seated.

- Greetings! - Greetings!

He is the groom.

- Be seated. - Sit.

What's your name?

Have it.

- She is too good. - Yes.

- Hey, call Malleshwari. - Malleshwari!

Wasn't she the one we saw?

Is there another one?

[Kannada song playing]

Who was the one who came earlier?

She is their maid, Sir.

- What? - Servant, sir.

Get up!

Kodakappa. Sorry, Thimmappa.

- Are you married? - No.

Good.

She's perfect for you.

We're leaving.

If it's the maid, I will agree.

We'll look for another bride.

100 acres of pepper farms!

Don't make me open my mouth!

- Stop, bro. - What happened?

- Thimmappa. - Yes.

- Who arranged the girls we saw till now? - They were his.

- The one we are going to see? - Mine.

- Come here, Mallayya. - What is it?

Come here.

This is for your expenses.

- Now leave. - Why?

If you try to trick again, I'll break your leg!

- Don't talk too much. Leave. - Let's go.

- Leave! - Hey!

Hey!

- He is all talk. - Aunty!

They are here to see you.

- Let's find someone else. - Show some older girls.

I'll show you another one.

Here she is!

She is the girl.

She is a nice girl, man.

Have you heard of POCSO?

I'll show. One minute.

- Here. - Hey, no!

Didn't you hear what he said?

Child marriage. You won't even get bail.

- You'll be behind bars. - Yes. I'll be screwed.

I'll set it right.

Hey, they are here to see you.

Look what happened now!

Stop there! Don't say it!

It snapped when I pulled it to bring it down from the tree.

I've told you many times...

- not to play with small kids. - Don't hit me. I'll make another one.

If Vanaja chechi sees her, she'll beat me to pulp.

Come!

He will get us in trouble by showing us schoolgirls.

Wow! Nice house.

Not a single drop will go outside if it rains!

This is the girl's house.

Greetings.

This is her mother.

Her uncle.

This is the groom.

These are his friends.

Where is your daughter?

Kaveri!

Kaveri!

I like her.

- Well, one thing... - Sloth!

I stopped.

- Come in. - I was just getting acquainted.

They would want to talk.

He wants to talk to you alone.

- Got it? - Yes.

- Come. - Go talk to her.

- Come in. - Let me talk to her, bro.

You can talk.

- Shouldn't I go help him? - Go, dear.

- Hello. - Hello.

What's your name?

Aunty.

He asked your name, dear.

Kaveri.

Kaveri! Nice name.

What is your job?

- What? - She asked your job.

Oh! Painting.

Contractor, contractor.

He has around 60 workers.

He has a car.

They also have a car.

Now you ask.

- Shall we ask her name? - Go on.

What's your name, dear?

- How old are you? - He wants to know your age.

19.

She's 19.

- Is it? - Yes.

I'm thirty...

He's only 29.

- 29. - Yes, 29.

Aunty,

ask her if she liked me.

He is asking if you liked him.

She is okay, bro.

Did you really like me?

I like you.

Me too.

So shall I finalize this?

Bro, bro!

We will fix this, right? It's okay even if we have to pay ₹50,000 extra.

Come on!

God bless you.

Please make this work somehow, God!

Hey.

Shall I apply some vermillion on her forehead?

I'll whack you. I'm trying to make this work somehow.

Please ask them not to show her to anyone else.

No. You've paid money and booked, right? They won't show her to anyone else.

Okay then.

See you.

You come here!

- Come. - We're leaving now.

Hey! They are back!

- How did it go, Chetta? - Did she like you?

How are the girls there?

Just like the people here.

They don't have any extra horns or teeth.

- She is really beautiful, Mariyumma. - Is she?

Yes.

- Kalyani Edathi. - Yes.

There are no toilets over there.

Yuck! How do they manage without toilets?

They will adjust all that.

You don't have to worry.

The bride has a Master's degree, Babitha.

Our Brigesh also has Master's degree, right?

Master's degree! Don't get me talking!

Only I know how much I struggled to get him through 10th grade!

He failed 10th grade here, right?

But when we told them that he has a Master's, he got respect.

Since I also wanted respect, I said I too have a Master's degree.

They gave me two banana fritters on the spot!

Had I said that I had two degrees, I'd have gotten four.

They will be coming here after the 16th.

Please don't mess it up.

We finalized that proposal, Dad.

He is around 40 years old now, right?

Why does he need a marriage now?

That too from another state!

I can't allow them into our house.

Can you please take that, Chetta?

If it's a girl from our town,

the party can intervene, if there are any issues.

It's said that every household in Coorg has a gun!

Tell him about vacating the room, bro.

Vacate his room.

We have to paint there.

Always scratching!

- Isn't this our vessel? - Yes.

Come, bro. We have to raise plenty of money.

I will make you handsome right away.

Babitha!

Here you go. This is for you.

My dear boy,

you had to go all the way to Coorg to find a bride?

If I had a daughter,

I would've definitely gotten her married to you.

Don't butter me up too much.

When I asked for your brother's daughter,

didn't you say you prefer only government employees?

- I'm happy with the girl from Coorg. - Shut up.

What did I say?

He said it out of sadness, Aunty.

Manishetta,

can you arrange ₹15,000?

Where is your father?

I had asked you for ₹30,000, right?

Are you fine? [in Kannada]

- What... - I beg you!

Please don't say this at this last minute.

You should arrange it somehow.

Brigesh is romancing with her.

She is not understanding what he is saying.

He is not understanding what she is asking.

Those people behind you...

They were the ones who came here, right?

He can romance anytime.

I'm the one arranging his money, right?

Where is your car?

One minute, one minute.

Can you withdraw from your provident fund, bro?

As if there are millions in it!

Even his job hangs on a thread!

Hey,

She is saying something.

- Hi! - Hi!

- All good? - Yes.

Where is the car?

She is asking where your car is.

As if he has a car!

Thimmappa had clicked a photo of him standing next to a car

He must have used that photo to close the deal.

Yes!

He is Mr. Sloth!

Yes!

He doesn't even have a single penny.

I have something more to say.

She will know it some day, right?

Later... I'll call you later.

Then, car it is! I hope this works.

This is the first time a proposal is coming from Coorg to our village.

Tell me about the customs and traditions of your city.

Since you liked the girl,

we should have an agreement.

There are certain conditions for that.

You have to present the expenses and all for it.

We've already said everything to Brigesh.

In this place, we have a unique culture...

and unique rituals.

They should be included when the agreement is made.

- All okay? - Yes.

- Booze? - It will be here soon.

We already made the agreement, Chechi. It's here.

I got it done yesterday when the broker asked me.

Read it.

We shall read it, right?

It's in both Malayalam and Kannada.

Read it in Malayalam.

For the marriage between,

Brigesh, son of Vanamparambil Nanu...

from Chathothu in Memunda village,

and Kaveri, from Bonikuppa town, Kodagu district...

I was just looking there.

For the marriage between them,

under the supervision of party secretary Vanaja,

the family members shall sign this agreement.

Everyone can hear me, right?

The agreed broker charge of ₹1 lakh will be paid in half...

on the engagement day,

and the rest will be paid on the eve of the wedding to the involved brokers.

They already fixed it.

The Poomoodal ritual is scheduled a bit later.

- Expenses to build toilet...

I'll call you if there is any change.

My fees is 1.5 lakhs. You know that, right?

Don't forget it.

Okay.

Following the engagement,

the Poomoodal ceremony will be held within a month,

and a month later,

- the marriage date will be fixed. - Don't wait until Babitha's delivery.

If he gets ₹5000 extra, he'll give her to someone else. That's what I think.

Is this a fish auction?

Except the eight coconuts for the Poomoodal ritual,

the rest will be given from here under broker Thimmappa's supervision.

I'll call out the names of those who should sign.

Everyone please come forward and sign.

We have to sign in this.

Somappaya Chegireddy.

Raju Chegireddy.

Broker Thimmappa.

Please come forward and sign.

After that, our people will sign it.

How's it going?

We didn't buy milk, Vanaja.

Why are you standing still, Mariyumma?

Go milk the goat!

It's been six months since the goat last gave milk, Vanaja!

Then you go buy it.

I won't go. Don't I need to watch this?

What's here to watch?

Is it a party conference?

No one needs to think that they can defeat us when it comes to any kind of milk.

Give them black tea.

That's our culture.

Hey Vanaja Chechi,

we're having a couple of drinks.

Time and place doesn't matter when it comes to drinking, right?

After two pegs, time and place will be what we decide, right?

Stay in your lane and don't try to sell sand in the desert to me

Wow! What a simile!

- Everything is ready? - Yes.

Hey, Sloth! Brigesh's girl is on the phone.

Tell Vanaja Chechi.

Brigesh's girl is on video call, Vanaja Chechi.

Is it?

I want one.

Hi!

This is me, Vanaja.

Not Hindi. She is Kannadiga, right?

She is our party secretary.

Yes. LDF, LDF!

[speaking gibberish]

Her hardships will be over, right? We gave her money, right?

Red Salute!

- Red Salute! - Sister!

Yes.

Hey, stop it.

Here's your daughter-in-law.

Where, where? Let me see.

I can't see, Vanaja. It's quite dark.

- Hold it. - Okay.

Let me see.

My dear son!

Who have you found finally?

We don't want this girl, Vanaja.

This girl...

It's all his brother-in-law's doing.

If he brings such a girl home,

how will I look at other people's faces?

I won't allow her here.

I won't let her inside my house.

Even if I die...

- Come here, you shameless fellow! - What's it, Mom?

What am I seeing?

This is a night dress, right Mom?

Whatever! I can't have her in this house.

No, no! This won't work!

- No, no! - Don't interfere in this!

Shut your mouth, my dear!

- She is wearing panties! - Don't interfere!

Look at this.

Aren't you behind this?

She's in her underwear.

[indistinct arguments]

Leave! Everyone leave!

Go! Go that way!

Shouldn't I get a bride?

Shouldn't I get married?

What should I do if my own Mom breaks my marriage?

- I'm with you, bro. - I don't have anyone! Get lost!

- Hey Brigesh! - Brigesh!

- Brigesh! - Catch him!

I will get you a girl!

Like hell, you will! Get out!

He has brought a girl walking around in panties.

- Go, or else! - She's walking around in her panties.

Let him blabber. That's enough.

Go away, go away! Bring a girl who's not wearing panties.

That too went for a toss, Aisha!

My Mom doesn't approve girls who wear panties!

My Umma...

The money that Mariyumma gave me is all gone.

Forget the money.

Can't you at least give me a stick draped in a saree to look like a girl, Aisha?

Am I that bad?

- Brigesh, my dear! - Yes.

Do you want boiled tapioca?

No, Mariyumma.

I've lost everything, Mariyumma.

You were the one who said that I finally got a trumpet to blow, right?

Why are you mooing like a cow?

Huh?

If you're feeling so desperate, go stick it up some banana plant!

A donkey ends its desperation by braying.

And yours will be through boozing.

Go hang yourself!

Everything is ruined and you're still bleating?

Hey, Brother-in-law!

You crook! Come out from your hideout.

Your brother-in-law is here, Brigesh.

You just have to call me once. I'm right here!

Oh, is this why you called me so affectionately?

I'll cut your hand if you touch it! Only one peg is left!

It's over!

Dear Aisha!

Ibrahimikka is here!

Oh, both of you are here?

- Here you go. - What is it?

Biriyani.

Is it chicken?

It was prepared in the morning for the wedding at Dubai Poker's house.

You should not waste it.

- Go away, Vappa! - Huh!

Are you the Mamburam Thangal...

to do such charity?

Yeah right!

Porridge and chutney suits you better.

Dear Aisha!

He is walking on all fours!

Life is like a trapeze.

and I've ended up losing in it.

Where did you have free drinks from, sloth?

- Got only rum! - Whatever! I just want to pass out.

Hey, kiddo!

Give me some!

My life will end like this, Brother-in-law.

Now I'll tell you my last idea.

Huh?

Brigesh,

is there someone in your mind...

whom you can pursue to fall in love with you?

Brigesh in love?

I can't help laughing!

Didn't you hear, sloth?

What does he know about love?

I've felt love for only one girl in my life.

Only one girl!

When I was in fourth grade,

I first fell in love with her.

She was in 10th grade then.

Back then, when my love for her peaked,

I had bit her hand and injured it.

While returning from the Muthappankavu temple festival,

I got on the top of the ridge...

and pissed on her.

Anything else?

Where is she now?

She is very much in our town itself!

Hey, kiddo!

What all are hidden in that little heart of yours...

that you haven't told us about?

I was so crazy about her!

Then why didn't you marry her?

They won't get her married to me!

She is still unmarried!

She is waiting for a Government employee.

Poor girl!

She'll have to marry a retired Government employee now.

Her brother is a 'Hitler'.

'Hitler Madhavankutty'!

They are five sisters.

She is the eldest.

They live in a rented house.

Go and woo her, dude!

If you guys stand by me,

I am ready!

- Come, let's go right away! - Perfect time.

Are you going at this midnight with a proposal?

Brother-in-law,

what's her name?

Sulu!

10th D.

Which one is she, Brother-in-law?

The one sitting there is the 'Hitler'.

- I won't pay. I've worn it only once.

If you want to pay, go ahead.

Can't see your girl!

She will come now.

I paid last week and the week before that.

And I wore it only twice.

Don't keep a tab on how many times you wore it.

Pay him this time, Chechi.

You should've thought when you wore the silk saree...

that the Tamil guy would come for payment.

Pay him if you want!

He won't go without getting the money!

- Pay him, Chechi. - Let him not go!

Let him stay here.

Stop there! Where are you going?

There are grown up girls in this house!

They are all so boisterous!

They are very strong willed.

- Cash, Sir. - Cash?

Okay. I'll pay this week as well.

I won't pay after that.

She will give you.

- Here is your cash. - Okay.

- This one? - This is Sulu!

This is very less, Ma'am! It's not enough.

That's enough! All your sarees are of low quality.

They are fungus infected too. This is enough. Leave!

I'm leaving, Chetta.

I'll drop you at the bus stop.

- What's with the sudden affection? - What?

For 46 years, you haven't been able to send me off anywhere.

And now you want to drop me to the bus stop!

Oh, my dear brother! Come, girls.

Well, I'll also come.

- Walk fast. - I'll also come!

- I can't let you go alone. - Yeah, right!

This is the girl, Brother-in-law.

Is this your Sulu whom you have been carrying...

in your heart since fourth grade?

She is good, right?

Good? Very very good!

I keep seeing her at the fancy shop near Vadakara Municipal office.

- The same! - Yes.

But,

first you should make her fall in love with you.

If you do that, you're saved.

If not, you should stop this!

- Well... - But,

you need to change your looks.

Look at me. Let's make it a little colorful.

- A little colorful is fine, right? - Yes. Come on!

Sulu!

Sulu!

What is it, Brigesh? What's your intention?

You are singing like actor Prem Nazir,

dancing like Dulquer Salmaan,

and showing off your body in front of the townsfolk!

Don't you know all these tricks are outdated ones?

What do you really want?

Well...

you know it, right?

I am middle aged and single,

and so are you.

You have four younger sisters in your house, right?

They are also unmarried, right?

Are you planning to marry all four of them?

Not that, Sulu!

I was in love with you since 4th grade.

On the day my love was at its peak,

do you remember me biting your hand?

When was that?

While coming back from the Muthappankavu temple festival,

don't you remember me pissing on you?

Are these good memories to relish, Brigesh?

You're talking about the peeing incident as if you handed me a bouquet of flowers!

What is your real intention?

Sulu,

I will tell you the truth!

I want to marry you!

Do you know why my sisters and I never got married till now?

It's okay even if he has failed in 10th grade.

But I want to marry a Government employee.

I can't join the government service exam course now, Sulu!

In that case, you take a hike.

I'll boil my water somewhere else!

I won't give up!

Sulu!

Stop the vehicle!

Stop the vehicle, Chetta!

Stop!

What is it, Sulu?

What did you do, you bloody dog?

Sulu...

It wasn't me!

We should not let him go on like this.

We should first send his brother-in-law away from here.

[indistinct conversations]

- Brother-in-law. - Yes!

Look at all the comrades and drunkards standing in line.

Wastrels!

- Brother-in-law. - Yes.

It has become a topic of discussion.

Vanaja Chechi is also there.

Should we stay here?

Or shall we come back later?

Come, brother-in-law.

- Brother-in-law. - Yes.

I don't feel brave enough.

The high I got from the booze is gone.

I'll go, have some more and come back.

Brother-in-law.

This Brigesh won't fear...

any Sun or any Moon in this world any more.

Come, Brother-in-law!

He is not in a state where he can talk.

I'll come tomorrow.

Good night, Vanaja Chechi!

- Until we meet again, greetings! - Get lost!

Vanaja Chechi is angry!

- Go on. - Hey Mariyumma!

Say sorry to Aisha for me.

He is the one spoiling him.

Hey News agent Kalyani!

You must have spread the news till Pakistan, right?

- Anyway, greetings to you too! - What did I say?

Wastrel!

Wastrel!

- Aren't you ashamed? - Mad woman!

Aren't you ashamed? What have you done?

How will I face people now?

Oh! Hey, Babitha!

Listen, Babitha!

No! Don't hit him!

Leave him, Babitha!

- Stop! - Get lost!

Get inside!

Go inside! Go in!

Where are you going?

What a unity in puking!

Drunk as a skunk...

and you're throwing up now!

Go on! Throw up!

Just because you're hungry, can you eat dog meat?

I hope Brigesh gets a dumb girl just like mine.

Just like my wife!

Aisha.

I'm leaving.

I am leaving.

- Hey Babu! - Huh!

Hey! Get up!

This is not your house. It's my house!

Have you lost your way? Get lost!

- Babu! - Brigesh!

What is it?

You do this.

There's half an ounce of booze left near that barrel. Have that and sleep.

- Don't disturb my sleep! - It's not that!

Open the door! I have to say something!

- Yes! - Come on.

What is it?

Wear your lungi properly, Babu!

Oh! Have you come at midnight to fix my lungi?

- Hey Babu! - What?

I drank poison!

Yeah, I drank some too.

We've been drinking poison for several years now, right?

Not that, Babu!

I had rat poison!

You must be getting a good high, right?

Hey!

- I drank it to kill myself. - What?

- My stomach is burning! - Hey Brigesh!

- Take me to the hospital, Babu! - Are you serious?

I will die now!

What's wrong with you?

Mohanan!

Mohanan!!

Hey Mohanan!

Please come fast, Mohanan!

Come fast!

Come fast!

Hey Brigesh!

What a foolish thing to do!

Oh dear! Mohanan!

What poison did you take?

Rat poison.

What did you mix it with?

With water from the bore-well.

Very good.

Do you see the guy lying there?

He mixed it with brandy...

and is now crying, 'mommy'!

Do this.

Drink lots of water, and vomit all the poison out.

I already drank a lot.

What?

I already drank a lot of water.

Okay.

Let him throw up some more. Give him some water.

Did anyone come with you?

What? Are they outside?

Okay, okay.

Give him lots of water, Sister.

Oh Mother of God!

- Have you come with Brigesh? - Yes.

Why did he take poison?

Better not to talk about it.

The thing is, he is still unmarried.

He should get a girl, right?

He is 40 years old now.

So, he consumed rat poison.

What's the big deal in it?

Even I haven't found a guy yet!

- What? - Yes.

Though you have a Government job, you're still unmarried?

I'm also unmarried.

Do you know why?

Astrologers say that...

Mars went inside my Jupiter ring!

Yes. It might have gone inside!

- What? - Yes.

How is he now?

Nothing to worry.

We might shift him to the ward tomorrow.

And let me tell you something.

There won't be any bed to lie down.

I don't want anything. I'll lie down here somewhere.

Yeah, right! I wasn't talking about you.

I was talking about the patient.

If you buy floor mats from outside, he can at least lie on the floor.

- Brigesh? - Yes.

Though he took poison, he's still royalty.

He is a king to me.

- So? - So I won't let him lie on the floor.

What? Why should I care?

I'll call Vanaja Chechi.

- Go on. - You've an attitude!

- Call whoever you want! - I'll call now.

Let me call Chechi.

[Revolutionary song as ringtone]

Hello. Yes.

Vanaja Chechi.

Brigesh did it.

What? Did he get a girl?

He took poison.

Is it? When?

I'm alone here.

I'm at the hospital.

There's no one else here.

You inform his brother-in-law.

We'll get the corpse only after the post-mortem, right?

Let's do the post-mortem later.

First, we need a bed to lie down.

Tell them to give it at least.

What? So isn't he dead?

He took the poison to die.

But let me tell you this.

He'll die here vomiting.

Okay. I'll inform the superintendent about the bed.

Or leave that. Give the phone to the nurse.

You tell the sister. I'll give it right away.

- Sister, Sister! - Yes!

- One minute. Come here fast. - What for?

Vanaja Chechi. She'll tell you.

This is Chathoth branch secretary K.P. Vanaja speaking

Wow! Cool!

Is it the Secretary? Tell me. What's it?

Brigesh, who came there seeking treatment for poisoning, is very dear to me.

- Oh, is it?

I got a complaint that he didn't get a bed there.

You should consider it seriously.

Hey! This is not a tourist resort in Kovalam to provide you with beds on demand.

He came here after taking poison for killing himself, right?

He isn't a soldier who got shot at the border, right?

Speak decently.

This land has a unique culture...

and unique traditions.

I will call the superintendent.

Okay. You can call him.

Do whatever you want. Okay.

Bed?

- Is it available? - Bed, right?

Yes. I will give you a double cot bed!

Stop chattering, Babitha.

I won't go anywhere. I'm here.

I'll put him on. He is lying here.

Brigesh,

it's Babitha.

She is calling because she is very worried.

You talk to her.

- Babi. - Brige!

Where is your blue underwear? It's missing.

Hello?

He hung up!

- What did she say? - Damn it!

Here you go.

Oh!

Have any of you ever spoken anything good to him?

And you're giving him charcoal for serving him!

There, at the courtyard sits the one whom you should whiten the teeth with dog shit!

Eat this.

The lemons you brought were okay.

For that, he should regain consciousness, right?

Brigesh,

look who's here.

How are you, dear Brigesh?

- I'm okay. - He's getting better.

What has happened, has happened.

Come for work from tomorrow, okay?

Work is at an Ashram in Mahe.

Don't you get migrant laborers now, Boss?

He himself takes half of their wages as commission.

Then how will they come?

Vanaja Chechi is here.

Are all the tests over, Vanaja chechi?

- Can't we leave now? - Only one more test is pending.

For that, he has to cooperate fully.

What kind of a test is that?

Did you do anything naughty when you went out of state?

Get lost!

Dr. Tharunamshu is in room no. 21.

You should see him. He is a mental health expert.

- Mental health? - Yes.

What?

Don't worry.

Suicide is the sign of cowards.

We have to make sure he won't attempt it again, right?

That's not a problem.

From where did you get this idea, idiot?

- Be calm! - Did you think of me?

- Are you better now? - Stop making noise, Babitha.

She is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic!

- Brigesh. - Yes.

Come.

- What's your name? - Babitha.

His name is Brigesh

What's your age?

It's 40 in his school certificate. But he is really just 37.

He looks only 37, right?

What's the problem now?

What can I tell you, Sir?

What does he lack?

Is what he did something that normal people do?

Well, there is no use blaming him.

His brother-in-law who gives him company for everything,

should be brought here first.

- Who is he? - My husband.

Then, who is this?

His sister, Babitha. Didn't I mention earlier?

Okay.

Then do this, Sister.

You should go outside.

Then if you turn right, you'll find the mortuary.

Don't be afraid. Our hospital canteen is next to that.

If you go now, you will get good sweet rice cakes and tea.

Don't come here hastily after drinking one.

Come at your own pace.

You just wait outside. I'll call you.

This will take some time!

Leave, leave!

Tell me, dear Brigesh.

What's your problem?

Well, sir... My neighbours are a problem.

They won't allow any alliance to work.

Divorcees,

3 times married,

ones with two kids,

and widows.

I saw all of them.

My dear Brigesh,

who told you only married people can survive?

Are you married, Doctor?

Of course! It's been ten years.

I've two kids and I lead a happy life.

Yeah, right! So I shouldn't marry, right?

That...

Come, Brigesh.

For instance, just look at our great leaders.

Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, our former President.

Was he married?

No.

Wasn't he happy?

He was.

Similarly, our Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

He is on a lifelong fast from marriage.

Leave all those.

Our Rahul Gandhi. Is he married?

These people should be your heroes...

until you get a girl!

Look at Kavumpurath Dineshan, a beedi worker.

- He got married at 25. - Good.

Pottammel Shyju, a lottery agent.

- He married twice before 30. - Smart chap!

Even the POCSO accused Dasan Sir got a girl.

They are my heroes, Sir.

I want a girl!

Hey Bigil...

Listen to me, Brigesh.

Brigesh,

age is just a number. That's all!

If there is a girl in your fate,

at the right time and place,

she will pop out in front of you from the ground, pillar or by leaping the fence!

You stay calm.

Yes.

Two teas.

Here you go.

Eat.

Eat this.

To eat the rest of it,

there is a girl waiting for you somewhere.

Eat.

Eat it!

Grandma!

Brigesh got discharged and reached home.

- I had called you earlier. - Why did you come early today?

It's been many days since I went there.

Did they dismiss you?

Gas trouble!

I don't know from where they are coming and going out!

They sent you off from the textiles shop because of this gas trouble, right?

You will go for work only if you get married.

What's the curry today?

For rice, it's two salmons worth Rs. 50.

Enough! It would be great!

I didn't buy it.

Gruel is there. If you want pappad, roast it and have it.

Who is this?

What's it?

If you're free tomorrow, can you come to the Ashram with me?

- Yes. - Doctor said someone should accompany me.

Of course!

I will come.

To the Ashram, right? He won't call for nothing.

[singing a popular Malayalam song]

I’ll go and come back soon.

Babu, look for a suitable girl for Gopalan.

If not, the women will thrash him to death.

Has Gopalan started sending you WhatsApp links, Grandma?

Perfect!

Hey Gopala,

you are smart!

[Premananda Ashram, Mahe]

Oh God!

Hold tight.

This is not the kind of Ashram we've seen so far.

They have no connections with humans.

Hey,

this is not bad.

Unload the stuff without making noise.

It's prayer time.

What's that?

Dude, on the days when they have special poojas,

nobody would wear clothes here.

We should try for a membership here.

Will we get it?

Hey Babu,

you have work here only today.

I've to settle and get the money in the evening.

Don't make a scene here.

Here you go.

I didn't come here for work.

I thought I'll give company to Brigesh.

Is it?

Doctor asked me to look after him,

I've to take good care of him.

- Lucky fellows! - What's it actually?

- They don't go for any work. - Lower your voice.

Eat, pray, eat, pray!

The food here must be good, right?.

You aren't here for stealing, right?

- No wonder you're not getting girls! - What did I do?

Everyone take the things! Take them!

- Hurry up. - They'll take everything.

- We don't have to take it. - Get those down!

All are unripe bananas!

Greetings.

Hey,

- How many monks are here in total? - 47.

47?

I didn't see everyone.

I want to meet everyone before I leave.

Are you admitting new people?

- No. We don't admit outsiders. - Oh no!

Truth be told, I wish to be a monk.

But my Dad doesn't like it much.

If we are monks, we will get food on time without breaking sweat, right?

Can you please give me some water?

Gruel water.

Add a pinch of salt...

and a bit of pickle.

You will get energy if you stir and drink it.

Nice fritters.

I don't have any problem in becoming a monk.

- Give it! - My fritters!

Brigesh,

look at that 1-0-1!

Shut up!

It's a busy time at my shop right now.

And I'm applying paint with you at that time!

Who asked you to come?

Doctor asked me to look after you, right?

He said you will commit suicide and what else!

I should've brought ten 'Ever-youth' innerwear here!

We will get good business here.

I think no one is wearing it here.

Your business won't work here.

It's a different system here.

Drink some water.

Here you go, dear.

Try it.

Why? Don't you want to?

Here you go.

It's only water, right?

What's it?

What happened?

Do you want water?

Brigesh.

- Bring water. - Okay.

Here you go.

Brigesh is not picking up.

Please call him.

Then, let me call Bra-man and see.

Hello.

Where are you guys, Bra-man?

Yes.

We are at the liquor shop.

Brigesh isn't picking up.

He is here. I'll give it to him.

Here you go.

- Where is your phone? - Hello?

Phone?

Oh no!

I lost my phone!

- He lost his phone! - Give it to me.

Did you lose that too, idiot?

What's it?

Don't shout, Babitha.

My stomach is burning!

I called you to ask about that.

Did you take the medicine for your stomach?

Yes, yes.

Hello, hello!

This kiddo has no brains and is completely lost!

I'm fed up!

- Aren't you coming? - Yes.

Forgot to take my tablet.

- Did you take your phone? - Call my phone.

Call it.

Hello? Hello?

Yes. Hello.

This phone...

Hello?

Damn! No one is speaking!

Someone took the call, Brother-in-law.

It was a girl. It's unreachable now.

Don't talk if it's a girl. I'll talk.

You are just out of the harassment case.

Oh!

Why are you restless, Brigesh?

Nothing.

Do you want some curd?

I don't want curd or tur...

Go away.

Fine! This is why you're suffering!

- Son.. - Yes.

Drink some Kutajarishta.

It's good for acidity.

Give it.

Let me go and tie Aishu.

Next week, I'm sending Aishu to Mampuram as an offering.

I'm doing all these offerings for your sake.

I also offered a banana bunch to Muthappan.

Everything will be alright.

Don't go and do unwanted things.

- Come, dear. - What's up?

How's your acidity? Do you want to go to the hospital?

No, Vappa.

Get me some water to drink, Mariya.

Yes, I'm bringing it.

- Hello? - Hello.

- Who's it? - No one. A wrong call.

You go to sleep.

Give me the phone.

Whose number did you save under Brigesh's name?

- You had dinner, Babitha? - I had.

I should also know what you are eating, right?

- Give it back. - You can't be trusted.

Give me the phone, Babitha.

- Hello. - Vanakkam, Sister.

- Sister? - A Tamil girl?

Give it back, Babitha. Or else, your pressure will shoot up!

Are you having an affair with a Tamil girl?

Don't raise your voice, Babitha.

She is speaking Tamil again!

Isn't it Selvi, the flower girl, near the New India hotel?

Which Selvi, Babitha?

That's why you were tying garlands while drunk, right?

- Don't shout, Babitha. - Aren't you ashamed?

Who is more important to you, her or me?

It's Brigesh's phone!

Don't try to fool me.

You don't love me now because I am pregnant, right?

How could you?

Are you coming in?

- What is it, Babitha? - Nothing!

- Can't you hear me? - Calm down, Babitha.

- Come inside. - No, I won't.

He saved some Tamil girl's number under your name, Brigesh!

Shut your blabbering mouth!

Now I saw it. What if I hadn't?

What did you see? Shut up!

What did you see?

My pressure will shoot up!

- Didn't I see? - Where is my phone?

Did you see whose call it was?

I swear on your pregnant stomach.

- Get lost! - The News agent is here!

- Give. - Give us our Dad's phone, Uncle!

Get lost!

I swear on your pregnant stomach.

Enough! You come with me.

- I want to know the truth. - Let's not talk here.

Then tell me the truth.

- Swear on our kids. - Oh God!

Hello?

Hello.

Isn't this your phone?

Yes, yes.

Where is this?

You came for work here at Mahe, right?

Yes, yes. Is it at the Ashram?

Yes, it's here at the Ashram.

Oh!

You came to work here, right?

I need my phone back.

You can take the phone if you come here.

I will come there in the morning.

You cannot enter the Ashram.

Why?

There are only women here now.

Then how will I get my phone?

At what time is the morning prayer?

It's at 4:00 a.m.

Oh no! I can't come.

It's very far.

Is that so?

Shall I switch off the phone then?

No, no. Don't switch it off.

Oh! I'll come.

Hello.

- Who are you? - Start the bike.

Where to?

- No, just there. - Where?

- Let's leave. - Do you have my phone? Give it.

I will give it later.

Please move the bike a little further.

- Fast. - What's your problem?

I don't have anywhere else to go.

Can you please help me?

Let's leave.

Help?

Someone will see us. Let's leave.

What help? Give my phone, girl.

- Please take me with you. - Move aside.

Sir.

Please don't leave me.

I don't have any other option.

Sir!

Sir!

Please don't leave.

Sir.

If you have that much itching, chop it off and serve it as cattle feed.

Don't you dare come again asking for a girl, you fake horoscope!

What did you do, you dog?

That too got cancelled, Brigesh?

Why are you mooing like a cow?

If you're feeling so desperate, go stick it up some banana plant.

It's quite a hassle.

I have some conditions.

You need to change these clothes first.

- Long live the red-blood flag! - Long live the red-blood flag!

- Immortals, Immortals! - Immortals, Immortals!

- Martyrs are immortals! - Martyrs are immortals!

- No, they never die! - No, they never die!

- Martyrs never die! - Martyrs never die!

- No, they never die! - No, they never die!

What's up, Seetha Chechi?

Hey! Hey Geetha!

Brigesh is coming with some girl!

All good, Janu ettathi?

From where did you get her?

Vappa!

Come there soon.

Jisha Chechi.

Huh?

Oh no!

Mariyumma!

- What? - Look, Umma!

- Brigesh has come with some girl. - Allah!

- Oh no! - Oh God!

- Vilasini! - Yes.

Come here!

Look who is here.

- Come fast, Babitha. - What happened, Jisha Chechi?

Where are you, Kalyani?

- She's in the toilet! - Oh!

These people won't even let me go to toilet peacefully!

What?

Our Brigesh has come with a very beautiful girl.

- What! - Come fast.

Hey, what's this?

- What am I seeing, Jisha chechi? - No clue!

My God!

From where did you get her, Brigesh?

Instead of standing dumbstruck, light a lamp and invite them both in.

I'll bring it now.

Mom!

Where has Mom gone?

She won't hear when I call for her in need.

Mom!

- Go look, Buffalo! - Mom!

- Mom. - What is it?

Brigesh has brought a girl home.

- What? - Yes!

Keep these here. Go look, Mom!

Go!

Fast!

Come fast, Mom!

Lord Ganesha heard my prayers!

Oh God!

- Give it to her. - What is this, Brigesh?

Who is this girl?

- Do you know her? - Vanaja Chechi... She is...

Who is this girl, Brigesh?

That... Vanaja Chechi...

Sumangala.

Which Sumangala?

Who are you, dear?

I am...

Oh, you are a Tamilian?

From where did you bring her, Brigesh?

Where is your native place, dear?

Your place! Where is your place?

- Coimbatore. - Yes, yes.

Oh!

Brigesh, this place has a unique culture...

and a unique tradition.

- Your tricks won't work here. - Yes.

Well, when did you go to Coimbatore to pick her?

Yes.

You must have wooed her...

during your work at Coimbatore with Nadeshan, right?

- Yes. - That was a year ago, right?

When did all this happen, Brother-in-law?

No wonder he hears Tamil songs at night...

and talks over the phone!

I doubted at that time itself!

What are they saying, Brigesh?

Have you married her?

That... Vanaja Chechi... One minute.

Why does it seem like they are in it together?

What is it? Tell me.

Well... Vanaja chechi...

It's true.

We've been in love for sometime now.

Did you register the marriage?

We haven't registered it yet.

But...

I'll register soon.

You should stand by me, Chechi.

I don't have anyone else. That's why.

Alright! Don't take poison because I didn't stand by you!

No more discussions on this.

It's their life now.

You should go for work, Brigesh!

He could have given me a hint, right bro?

Didn't I go see at least 100 prospective brides for him...

in the past 10 years?

How many times have I been insulted for this scoundrel?

And this dog was secretly in love with this girl for around 1.5 years! Love!

I also didn't expect things to go this way.

Okay.

Only 14 days are left for Pongal.

Yes.

Till then, I must stay here.

- I don't have any other option. - Okay.

Where are you...?

On the floor.

I will... I will.

You sleep here.

His damn flower decoration!

Hey Bra-man,

If he was in love with this girl,

why did he play the fool all this while?

You tell me.

Point!

Brother-in-law,

don't let your thoughts ignite.

Have a couple of shots and extinguish that fire.

- Good Night. - Okay.

Tough luck!

That broker Kumaran is blabbering over there.

Brigesh was his permanent prey, right?

Right, Brigesh?

You were his prey, right?

Won't these rascals sleep?

Let me play some music.

[Hindi song plays]

He switched from Tamil to Hindi songs now!

That's the new age trend.

Don't throw away the left-over food, Babitha.

The Navadhara boys will be here after a meeting.

Why? Don't you want to sleep?

Well, did you take your medicine?

Hey sloth!

Give a couple of drinks to that poor guy.

Let him wet his throat.

He has lost his room, right? Shall we book a room at City Lodge?

Did you take your medicine?

Here you go.

Have your medicine.

Here is the medicine.

How is it?

It feels very good.

Vilasini!

They are love-birds. Let them enjoy.

Don't throw stones at them.

Even if you don't buy them the wedding chain or the ring,

at least, pay for what we drank tonight.

I will give him nothing!

Nothing!

Who am I saying this to?

Don't you want to go to bed, Etta?

You made them go to bed, right?

Why do you want me to go to bed now?

To hell with him and his bloody poem!

[chanting meditation sounds]

What's that?

Who knows!

[continues chanting]

Hello.

What is this?

- What's this? - This is a ritual in her hometown.

Isn't it nice to have this every morning?

Anyway, it's good.

Inform us in advance if such nuisances are there.

- Ask her to lower her voice! - Yes.

Disturbing other's sleep!

What's that sound, dear?

That's a prayer in her hometown.

- Did you also hear it? - Yes.

So strange, right?

Oh God!

You didn't buy any other clothes, right?

Go with Brigesh and buy some essential clothes, okay?

You wouldn't have met everyone during yesterday's rush, right?

The ladies' association meeting is happening today.

Let's go there today.

I don't want it.

Hey,

how will she step out without any jewellery?

Give your necklace to her.

- Is that necessary, Mom? - Yes.

She must have left all her jewellery back home, right?

So, you remove it and give it to her.

Won't it take too long for her to reconcile and bring the jewelry back?

It won't be that long.

So remove that necklace and give it to her.

Crazy!

Here's a necklace, Ettathi.

No. You keep it.

I don't wear it.

- Oh no! - She doesn't want it, Mom.

And not because you aren't willing to give her, right?

Just leave.

What a trouble!

Our secretary Vanaja is such a spirited lady.

She's really a man. She manage all this on her own, right?

How did Brigesh get such a beautiful girl?

Jisha was the most beautiful girl in our colony, right?

Everyone says her backside is really worth seeing.

- Oh, wow! - Huh?

I didn't mean that!

Her hair! Hair.

How many guys are in our town who can't get girls...

since they don't have Government jobs?

The girl whom our boy got is so beautiful, right Jisha?

I don't know.

It's like giving a diamond to a monkey!

Hey, she's coming.

All the gossip mongers are here!

How was your sleep?

Did you understand what she asked?

Chechi understands Malayalam, by the way.

Oh!

Babitha,

did your brother go around the world meeting potential brides...

when he already had a girl like this?

How much money he wasted in Kodagu!

True that.

That was all his Mother's craziness. What else?

- Why this white saree? - So what? It looks good.

- Babitha! - Yes.

Stop loitering there and come here.

Okay.

- Go on. - I'm leaving.

Come, Chechi.

- See you. - Okay.

2065 Let's see how long this will last!

How much is this, Chechi?

Sit there.

It costs ₹998.

- This is the hem. - Buy only cheaper ones.

These are my people, Geetha. Get them good ones.

Which one of these isn't good?

- What was that for? - I know them. That's why I said

Please come there, dear.

Get some new underwear!

- Buy new ones. - Get me discount, okay?

Okay.

Why did you select only whites?

This is what I like.

No way!

Are you crazy to spend money and buy only whites?

This is enough for me.

Fine!

Get us a skirt that matches this, Chechi.

- Regular sized ones, right? - Yes.

Pack that bra as well.

What size do you need?

- I don't know. - Huh?

Have a look at this.

32 will do, Chechi.

- She's a Tamilian. - Oh!

Why are you buying all this? I don't need it.

Why are you asking as if you haven't seen all this?

In our hometown, we wear a different kind of innerwear.

This is year 2022!

How many experiments does companies conduct on panties and bras?

You still wrap clothes instead of innerwear?

- Yes. - Really?

Come.

- Please pack them, Chechi. - Okay.

Is your house in some remote village in Tamil Nadu?

Sigh! What all practices, right?

Put it here.

Okay.

Ettathi?

What happened?

I don't eat any of those.

That's all?

Then Ettan can save lots of money!

- Hey. - What's it, brother-in-law?

Didn't you know that she doesn't eat chicken?

We haven't had chicken together, right?

Didn't you say that you were together in Coimbatore for over an year?

But we were together only for around 6 months, right bro?

The rest were all through WhatsApp, right?

What all through WhatsApp?

Onion sale!

Don't make me say something!

Have it.

Hey Madhavan Ettan! What's up?

Where are you going driving a train?

Oh! You must be going to search government employees, right?

I heard some blind wastrel got a new pair of eye-shades!

Don't flaunt it!

You won't get married if you wait until your five sisters are married.

Get lost!

Etta.

You keep preserving us at home!

Collector will come to marry us!

- Sulu! - Let's go.

Nice poster, right?

Come fast.

Come fast, Ettathi.

- Show him your phone. - Okay.

- Has it begun? - Just started now!

- Get in. - Get in.

First you go in.

Hey, come in.

Come fast.

Yes, fourth one. Here.

Sit down.

Sit, dear.

- Etta! - What happened?

- What's the matter? - What is it, Etta?

- Babitha! - Suma!

Hey Sumangala.

What's it?

Nothing.

Don't you watch movies also, Ettathi?

Is it also not in your hometown?

Please leave me alone for sometime.

What is this, Etta? Which world is she from?

She watch movies.

She just arrived, right? Let her settle down.

Then you make her settle down outside. I want to watch the movie.

That scene must be over!

We're going home.

Go wherever you want!

Sumangala!

- Where are they? - They left.

Was Brigesh really in a relationship with her?

That's what he says.

He is your brother, right?

He spends all the time with you, right?

She's hiding something from us.

She hasn't even been to a movie theatre!

She throws up at the sight of chicken.

So what if she's a vegetarian? Does she have to throw up at the sight of chicken?

She only wear white sarees.

- You know what? - Spit it out, Babitha.

She still wraps a plain cloth instead of a bra!

She doesn't even know the size of her panties!

Stop blabbering! Did you go to the textile shop to measure her panty size?

Not that!

At the textile shop, she told she was not used to those!

Stop talking and watch the movie!

Look there!

- What? - Nothing.

What a nice movie!

Her kick was spot-on!

Oh God!

Oh no!

What happened, Etta?

Nothing. I just slipped.

What?

We remit money in Women's association for our needs, right?

Women's association won't give money to help unemployed guys find a girl...

or to pay their brokers!

Why are you saying it to my face, Sarala?

There must be something if she says it to your face.

It is true that I borrowed some money for Brigesh's engagement.

Even though he doesn't pay anything back,

I repay it as weekly installments, right?

Vanaja Chechi's boys haven't even paid the interest yet.

So we don't have money in the Women's association fund.

You're an Anganwadi worker, right Yasodha?

I'm trying to find girls for the boys here...

so as to get more kids at the Anganwadi.

Can we lend money with a high interest rate, go to their houses,

and threaten like Dasan or Manish?

They are our boys, right? They'll repay it some day.

Yeah, right! Let's wait and see.

Our place has an unique culture and an unique tradition.

What?

Yes!

Everyone stop! Enough!

It's bad if that girl sees this.

What if she sees this?

She has to see this someday, right?

Here is the new bride. Look at her.

You made it a habit to quarrel during meetings, right?

Come, come.

Here you go, Babitha. Give it to her.

They conduct the meetings to quarrel over something.

This is usual here.

Give.

Give him to me.

Come.

Shall we go to your Mom?

Here you go.

I'm going to run away from this place, brother-in-law.

If you act intelligently,

you won't have to run away,

and she won't go anywhere.

There's a way.

What?

- You go straight to her. - No, no.

And tell her as it is.

That's not the way.

Hey dimwit!

Idiot!

Look here.

You should love her.

Make her fall in love with you.

For that...

Making me take poison was not enough for you, right?

I couldn't even make Sulu, that dumb girl, fall for me!

This one is in a different league. A monk!

- Hey! - Yes.

- That was Sulu. - Yes.

This is a girl who sleeps on your bed in our house!

Hey,

why do you call yourself a man if you can't make this girl fall for you?

What do you mean, Brother-in-law?

Hold this.

Take a drag...

and all the lover boys inside you...

should wake up with a roar!

Aishu,

I'm not able to tell her.

Don't feel bad when I say one thing.

Right now, I love her more than you.

You might be thinking that I cheated the townsfolk with this fake marriage.

In fact, it was her whom I cheated, right?

She'll leave in four days.

Before that,

shall I tell her, Aishu?

She is a monk.

I can't say how she will react.

First, I will go to my room.

She might be doing penance then.

Didn't you understand? A kind of meditation.

I'll stay silent until it's over.

When she is back to her senses,

slowly I'll look into her eyes in a very romantic way and...

Shucks! You spoiled it!

You spoiled the entire mood, Aishu!

Listen to me.

Are you jealous of me?

What are you doing near the goat?

Don't make the people say anything!

What's up? Where are you from?

We are here to get new members for the party.

You don't need membership, right?

You're above 40, right?

Sumangala!

Sumangala!

Hey.

Son.

Son! Brigesh!

Son!

Hey, get up!

We are sending away Aishu to Mampuram.

Don't you wish to see her?

- Hey.

I would like to talk to you.

Can you take me out somewhere?

Okay.

Will anyone come here?

No.

Please forgive me. I...

I don't know what happened to me last night!

You didn't do anything wrong.

I expected all this to happen when I came with you.

I know...

you're a good person.

I also know that you like me.

But I was not born and brought up like you.

I'm a girl who grew up in an Ashram.

We don't have any such thing as marriage.

And I can't marry you.

Didn't I tell you the other day...

that I have to leave a day before Pongal?

Ever since I came to your house,

everyone is celebrating in a big way.

I was also happy.

All that is not destined for me in this life.

Please don't show any feelings for me.

How much ever you try, you can't change my mind.

I have to leave.

I must leave.

Go, go! Where do you want to go?

Why don't you say that?

You should stay in the Ashram if you're a nun.

I will take you there itself.

The same place from where I picked you.

You won't understand if I explain it.

It won't get into your head.

That's why I keep on asking you.

Where do you want to go?

What's your problem?

Do the monks in your Ashram jump the fence like this?

You have some problem.

I want to know that.

All the townsfolk saw me taking you to my house.

If something happens to you tomorrow,

they will ask me!

Only Vanaja chechi knows that our marriage isn't registered yet.

If the party members get to know this...

You tell me. What's your problem?

Police arrested Uncle Link for sending a link to a skin doctor.

Brigesh,

from where are you both coming?

Move aside, brother-in-law.

Hey, did you get into any trouble? Tell me.

What more trouble? Leave me in peace!

Oh, is it?

So I'm the troublemaker, right?

Is it? Tell me!

My dear brother-in-law,

can you go somewhere else for two days?

You've been freeloading for some time, right?

Freeloading?

Hey Brigesh!

Is my presence here your problem?

Is it not me who comes running for all your problems?

How many times have I bailed you out?

Tell me, Brigesh.

You caused this problem.

Don't put the blame on me. I'll tell you.

- Stop this. - What should I stop?

He and his heavenly palace!

Heavenly palace!

Freeloader, right?

Is there even a proper room for us to sleep?

You've been to my house, right?

I came here from a very respectable family.

Did you give me any dowry when I married your sister?

Did you give me anything? Did you?

Have I ever asked, Mom?

Have I asked for a single penny?

What are you silent?

Hey!

Where are you going?

- Don't! Enough! - Hey!

Have you ever thought of your sister when you loitered around?

- Tell me! - Brigesh!

Two pregnancies!

When I took care of the expenses for both her pregnancies at my house,

did you send me at least a penny?

Did you even bother to check on her?

Stop this melodrama!

Melodrama! It's melodramatic for him when I talk!

Do you know what he said?

That I am a freeloader! A freeloader!

I won't stop talking. What will you do?

- Hit me! - Enough!

- Get lost! - No!

Are you happy now?

He has picked fights with everyone!

But never with his brother-in-law!

Today, even that happened!

Why are you not saying anything?

Does he stay here because there is no place at his house?

It's because he doesn't want to stay away from me!

He took great care of me till now!

You could have called him back...

when he was banished from here, right?

Is it me who should call him back?

Isn't your father, a man, sitting there in the front?

Then you go and ask the one who is inside...

what all she told him in the morning.

That's enough, bro.

Stop it.

What is this?

How long has it been?

Let him drink. Isn't he hurt?

Yes! Make him drink!

You are getting for free, right? You leached off Brigesh!

Now leach his brother-in-law!

What are you saying?

What did I leach other than taking fee for showing him prospective brides?

That Brigesh is drinking by the riverside.

That sloth must be pouring him plenty of drinks.

Can I ask you something, bro?

What's the issue that has you drinking here and him drinking there to death?

Yeah, right!

Don't blabber about him much here.

He is a disloyal rascal!

I'm a freeloader, he said!

A freeloader!

Is my presence there his problem?

If the town gets to know about him, he will count bars.

- Yes, count bars! - For what?

He asked me to leave, Bra-man!

- I'll make him count bars. - For what?

The one he gave shelter at his house is a girl he kidnapped from the Ashram!

She is not his bloody wife or anything!

Hey!

If the party members find out, they won't spare him!

Is it?

So, he is living with a girl he kidnapped from the Ashram, right?

You keep drinking. I'll be back.

Why are you blabbering such things out of anger?

Brigesh has to conduct your funeral when you're dead. Don't forget that!

Leave it, bro.

Slow.

Slow, steady.

Brake, brake!

Don't go there now.

You come to my house. Take him in, Ibrahim Ikka.

- What's the problem? - Vanaja and her people are there.

It will be a problem if they see you now. That's why.

What will Vanaja Chechi do to us?

Don't talk too much.

- Take him, Ibrahim Ikka. - Let him go home.

- Start the vehicle. - Move aside.

Son...

Yes, go!

You go to your house.

Where else will I go?

A decision has to be made. We can't let him go on like this.

He's coming. We must ask him!

Get down from the bike!

Ask him, Vanaja Chechi.

Have you registered the marriage?

- Say it! Say it! - Look at her face!

No.

Vanaja!

Did you take me for a fool when I stood by you?

Where did you bring her from?

Before the Ashram members from Mahe get here tomorrow morning,

you must take her back there.

If not, you will face the consequences!

It's not like we don't know to break your legs!

We won't allow his tricks here, Vanaja Chechi.

You, scoundrel! If you can't get a girl, live without it.

There are around 50 people like you in this village.

None of them will do something like this.

We should have cast him out...

when he misbehaved with that girl in the jeep that day.

Yes!

After leaching off my money for around 15 years...

- Hold him, hold Him! - Brigesh!

Now you want to cast me out, right?

Come!

- Come! - Son!

Don't do it, dear!

Move aside!

Move aside!

[indistinct arguments]

Who wants to attack Brigesh here?

Stop, stop! Stop it, I say!

Stop it!

There is a girl with him, right?

- Call her. - Don't talk!

Let's ask her!

- I will thrash you! - Get lost!

Vilasini Ettathi!

Bring her out!

- Bring her out! - We should know her intention, right?

Go inside and see, Vanaja Chechi! No one will stop you.

Go and check!

Check everywhere. She might be hiding.

Don't let her play tricks!

Babitha!

Where is she?

Oh!

So, all of you have fooled me, right?

Is she not there?

Hey Giri!

The entire family is in it together.

They have hidden her somewhere.

We, the townsfolk, will not stand here and watch this!

What did you think?

We shouldn't let him get away, Vanaja Chechi!

You townsfolk won't do squat!

Hey! Move aside!

Move aside! Go home!

Move! Don't touch him!

Have you all come here to reform me?

Go ahead!

Reform me!

He came to reform me, and reformed his own life.

Son... Brigesh!

No, son.

- He bought a new house and property! - Enough!

And you!

Hey Comrade Panicker!

You rewrote my horoscope and made ₹65,000, right?

Didn't you?

- Townsfolk! My foot! - Move back!

Are you not ashamed to come and stand here?

Hey!

Hey Ravi!

How many good alliances have you brought for me?

Tell me!

Those who are doomed, with deformity, unsound,

whose horoscopes don't match, and what not!

How much money have you and your Paratt family leached off from me?

And in order to cheat you townsfolk,

after searching for prospective brides for around 15 years,

I brought her here, right?

I didn't bring her here, Umma.

She...

She came on my bike for her own reasons.

When she stayed with me for some days,

I wished she could stay forever.

My dear son...

She left!

Left!

Oh! News agent Kalyani!

Go fast!

Go fast!

Go and spread the news!

Brigesh is saved!

Brigesh got married! Spread it fast!

There is one more news.

She has left!

Spread that too.

Jisha Chechi!

You don't have to come to our house for cleaning the toilet.

Brigesh stopped looking for prospective brides.

I am not fit for it!

Brother-in-law!

Where did you go?

Brother-in-law!

- Brigesh!

We were like two peas in a pod.

Look where we ended up!

You were not like a brother-in-law to me.

You betrayed me over two pegs, right?

Etta!

Go and get the booze, Bra-man!

- Get it! - Hey! No, man!

Give it!

Listen to me!

Don't do it!

- Enough! - Hey!

That's enough.

Stop it, Brigesh.

Move aside!

Oh no! Blood!

Menace Nanu!

Hey!

Nanu!

Menace Nanu!

Fathering a child is not enough.

You must provide for them.

- Understood? Did you hear, Nanu? - Hey!

Don't talk! Stop it!

I should stick it up a banana plant, huh?

I'll do it!

- Hey Son! - Son of a dog!

Enough!

Enough!

Your expiry is due, Brigesh!

If you're above 40 years,

you won't get a membership in CYIP, right?

Middle-aged Brigesh!

If Vanaja chechi slaps me,

I will bear it.

- There was only one person who loved me. - He is leaving!

My Aishu! She left, right?

You gave her as an offering and got her killed, right?

Yes.

Can you also get me killed as an offering, Vappa?

I'm fed up!

That's why.

Are you all standing here to see my funeral?

Sulu!

Even she didn't realize...

that someone who is truly in love won't misbehave!

Babitha!

Make your son attend a course to clear the Government job test, okay?

Admit him for that course already.

Else the boy won't get a girl here to marry.

He will have to search for prospective brides all over town, like Brigesh.

Brigesh, the clown!

Clown!

Everyone calls us nuns.

How can we be nuns?

A nun must live serving the society.

Our society ends inside those four walls.

And thus, I too had to give birth to a child.

All the women there are like that.

But I couldn't remain like that.

My baby!

Give me my baby!

Give me my baby!

They took my baby away from me...

just three months after giving birth.

He'll be raised in another Ashram...

And when he returns from there,

he won't recognize his mother,

and I won't recognise my son!

They make our child call us "Elder Sister".

Such cruelty happens there.

I want my child.

I want my child!

During Pongal, all the kids will be in the main Ashram.

If I go there on that day, I can find my son.

I don't have anything more important than my child in my life.

So, I have to go.

Please allow me to go.

Come, Jisha! That's enough.

It's about to rain.

I'm coming.

- Kalyani! - Yes!

Did you pick up the dried clothes? It will rain soon.

Enough. Both of you go and play inside.

Don't let the child get wet in the drizzle, Etta.

Etta!

Look who is that!

Isn't that Brigesh?

Thus a scorching summer and a perilous monsoon are over.

The number of eligible voters in Chathoth village...

have increased from 675 to 714.

Similarly the number of bachelors above 35...

have increased from 52 to 58.

Anyway, Brigesh has got a very good bride,

as pure as his own heart.

Even after unmatched horoscopes, different family background,

and a lack of government job.

Well, that's how certain things are.

When weaving clothes,

even if the threads tangle or break,

as long as the cloth and the threads come together in the proper way,

it creates the perfect garment.

That's how our lives are.

The girl and the boy destined to meet will surely do so,

regardless of the situation or hurdles they may face.

If one's born a girl, she needs a man.

If one's born a man, he needs a woman.

Their horoscopes or their occupation never come in their way.

My dear, never use up all your hard-earned money in drinking

due to the sadness of not finding a partner.

Let the elections end.

Everything may get sorted out.
