All language subtitles for MAMANGAM

Hey Nandu! Why are you
smoking in front of the hospital?

My wife is sick.
She has gone in for a check-up.

What happened to her?

The usual gynecological problems.
- Gynecological problem?

The treatment is so expensive..
- How much did this cigarette cost?

10 rupees.
- 10 rupees!

How many cigarettes
are you carrying with you?

One more.

You're ready to spend after
something that can kill you..

..but you can't afford
to save your wife's life.

What nonsense!

Look! Smoking kills.

But, this sanitary pad can save a life.

Don't laugh.

At the price of two cigarettes
you can buy this sanitary pad..

..that'll save your wife from
the gynecological problems caused..

..due to the use of dirty
cloth during menstruation.

Quit smoking to avoid
chances of a fatal disease.

You can save two lives with the money
you're spending in buying fatal cigarettes.

One yours and the other your wife's.

Give it a thought and then laugh.

Smoking doesn't make you a hero.

Buying this makes you one.

A grand world famous festival
was celebrated on the banks of..

..river Bharatpura in
Tirnavayi every twelve years.

Mamangam.

In the 15th century Vellattiri,
the king of Vallabha kingdom..

..and the original organizer of this
festival was defeated in a war by deceit..

..and the ground of
Mamangam was captured by..

..Samudri the King of Kozhikode.

But, the king did not accept
defeat and accept the flag of slavery.

Instead of it the king of
Vallabha trained his best soldiers..

..as suicidal warriors and sent
them to participate in every Mamangam.

The brave warriors of
Vallabha king fought bravely..

..against the armed soldiers
of Samudri who outnumbered them..

.. and sacrificed their lives
in Mamangam and became immortal.

These tales of revenge
went on between the families..

..of Samudri and Vallabha
have been recorded by..

..the nomads and locals of that region.

This feature film is a fictional
presentation of one such incident..

..that happened in 1655.

Tell them that this is a grand
celebration bigger than the Kumbh.

This is the only experience
that can never be forgotten.

The grand festival of Mamangam.

Foreign traders, north Indians, people
from western and eastern part of India..

..are all a part of this huge gathering.

Tell them what I said.

It's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Repeat what I said, don't act smart.

They can understand what I'm saying.

Superb!
- It's wonderful.

Look at the people who come
here from all parts of the world.

The artisans here customize
their products as per..

..the requirement of their customers.

A huge amount of goods
are bought and sold every day.

Our neighbouring kingdom Vallabha
is the enemy of Samudri kingdom.

After the death of Cheraman Perumal,
the follower of the fourth Veda..

..who breathed his last
in Mecca the responsibility..

..of this grand fair in this city
was given to Vellattiri, king of Vallabha.

Cheraman Perumal made the
rule that whoever wins the battle..

..will be the ruler.

Samudri won this battle and position.

This incident happened
around 300-350 years ago.

You'll not witness
such an intense animosity..

..between two kingdoms
anywhere in the world.

In the past the suicidal warriors used
to wear the divine chain of the Goddess..

..smear their forehead
with holy ash and come to fight.

But we never know how
and when they'll attack us now.

When the coordinator
calls upon the people who..

..didn't accept defeat and rebelled..

..these righteous warriors
appear from nowhere in large numbers.

The king comes dressed in silk clothes..

..and ornaments studded
with precious gemstones.

After giving donation
to the royal priest..

..he offers prayers to
Lord Ganesh and Mother Goddess.

The grand procession of
the Goddess in a palanquin is..

..taken out amidst revelry
and joyous commotion.

The King proceeds ahead from there.

There's a lot of noise and
commotion when the procession starts.

After this the king of
Samudri takes the center stage.

He turns towards the east...

..shows his reverence to the deity
Tirunavaya and picks up the royal sword.

The guard of Ireland
and Kozhikode's Talachenoor...

..are in charge of the king's security.

Then starts the display of fireworks.

It's followed by the
announcement of opposition.

If anyone has any objection
to the King of Samudri presiding..

..over this grand festival
of Mamangam then he can come forward.

Oh God! Chandroth Panicker
and suicidal warriors.

"He's strong. He's fierce."

"He's brave."

"He's the epitome of valour."

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

Mother, you always say that
girls should also learn martial arts.

Doing the household chores
isn't enough for them.

Yes.

Mother, I envisioned Goddess
Thirumannakulan Devi sitting on my bed.

Decked up in bright attire and
ornaments the goddess appeared before me.

With a sparkling sword in
her hand she appeared in my vision..

..and told me to participate in Mamangam.

I have to go there now.

Oh goddess! What did I just hear?

I've given birth to five
sons but you're the only one alive.

Do we've to sacrifice more lives?

Times have changed. Isn't it?

Thirumannakulan Devi has ordered me.

How can I disobey Her?

Brother..

You're more like a father
figure than an elder brother to me.

Who'll take care of mother if you go away?

Who'll raise the children?

Who will protect us?

Many of our men sacrificed their lives.

But, what did we gain?

Mother, please try to convince him.

Mamangam is a place of
deceit and we all know it.

I can't stop him,
we're not supposed to do it.

This has been a custom in our clan.

We can't help the fact that
a member of the Chandroth family..

..saw this divine vision.

Our King said that it's a
game in which we kill or get killed.

Our brave warriors have
gone there several times..

..but what have we gained?

I don't want to stop anyone.

But, I can't keep quiet.

This young man the only one
left to take care of everybody.

Is it necessary for him to go?

Only a mother can feel the
pain of bidding adieu to her dear son..

..forever after raising
him with love and care.

Do we've to sacrifice
more young lives to maintain..

..the custom of revenge
prevailing in the clan?

It's better to accept the flag of slavery.

What do you say?

Don't you feel ashamed
of talking like a coward?

Mother's love?

Why do the women give birth to children
if they can't protect the Vallabha kingdom?

With the blessings of Thirumannakulan..

..the warriors who went to
Thirunavaya to behead the devil..

.. and sacrificed their lives to
avenge Vellattiri's defeat were all fools.

This kingdom is still alive
to take revenge of their deaths.

They sacrificed their lives
to uphold our land's honour.

The men who kill and die for
such a noble cause are fortunate.

If we kill Samudri then will
Vellattiri become the next ruler?

Fear always holds a person back.

If we've even one man
alive in Vallabha kingdom..

..then he'll behead
Samudri's head at Mamangam..

..or sacrifice his life and
uphold the honour of his ancestors.

Whose tales of bravery do the nomads
sing as they wander from place to place?

How can a warrior die if
his valour is celebrated in songs?

Who else is so skilled like
the warriors of Vallabha kingdom?

It's our tradition to sacrifice
our lives and not live like slaves.

I never bowed down to anyone
as I hail from Ayangot village..

..except for once.

There was this warrior who
took the blessings of the goddess..

..and went to fight but
he betrayed his kingdom..

..enraged the goddess and
dishonored the suicidal warriors..

..by breaking and
dishonoring our tradition.

I feel ashamed whenever I think of him.

Should we support the person
who used deceit to betray and insult us?

We've a grand legacy.

We can't forget it
and bow down to the devil..

..who killed our ancestors by deceit..

..and dishonour our ancestral
deities and tradition.

They've both wealth and power.

She only claims that
she's Vellattiri's own sister.

If only she has the right
to take decision then let her do it.

I'll leave.

Please remain seated.

Unnicoron,
the messenger from Mangra has arrived.

Before I announce my final decision
let's see what the orders of the king are.

The king has said that the
family should take the final decision.

We must uphold the honour of our family.

I can't disregard the order
of the Goddess and endanger my land.

So, the family has decided
to send the suicidal warrior.

Go and convey this message
to Your majesty, Unnicoron.

Uncle, I also saw a vision.

I will also go to Mamangam.

No, my son.

I won't let you go.

Son, I can't take you with me.

Your mother, grandmother and
the rest of the children need you.

I also saw the vision
of Goddess Thirumannakulan.

"As the eyes wake up from
slumber they smile brightly."

"O my darling!"

"The sandalwood crib, the silver
blanket fill the place with joys."

"O my darling!"

"This world is magical."

"This world is full of illusions."

"All the colours are deceptive."

"This is the moment of surrender."

"The soul wants to renounce the world."

"Let's surrender this
life to this noble purpose."

"As the eyes wake up from
slumber they smile brightly."

"I don't know when we'll
be able to sleep again."

"The battle may take place any time."

"You've to make the new
sun rise and bring a new dawn."

"Fire, water,
wind and the lap of this earth.."

"..may they always be with you."

"The sandalwood crib, the silver
blanket fill the place with joys."

"O my darling!"

Will our King and his ministers
come with horses and elephants..

..to give us the gift of gold coins?

I forgot to bring the bowl of oil.

Go and get it.

What's the matter?

Sir, the matter is that..

Sir, don't worry.

He is one of them who
came here to attack us.

Two of his accomplices managed to escape.

I don't know how he dared to come here.

This will be the first
and last such instance.

This will never happen again.

We'll take care of it.

Our men who were coming
by boat from Kozhikode..

..were looted and
killed by Samudri's army.

It's their order that nobody
will bring gold here from outside.

After completing my deals
when I was coming back..

..I found out everything.

I couldn't stop myself when
I heard it and I came to meet you.

You invested your entire
life's earning in this dagger.

You have to get Mehnuma married.

Moin will do that.

I've got this gold dagger
with the money I earned by selling..

..black pepper grown with my own hands.

You've to kill the devil who's
destroying our country with this.

Keep it with you as your third hand.

I'll support you.

These young boys who have hardly
been to gurukul for two years..

..to learn warfare techniques..

.. were labelled as suicidal
warriors by Samudri's men..

..and drowned to death.

I know it.

Please don't share it with anyone.

Be it war or business,
Samudri always resorts to unfair means.

How will you fight with such
a cunning and unrighteous man?

Truth may not have always
triumphed against power.

But, if we don't light
a single lamp anywhere..

..then the entire place will become dark.

We're used to live in this darkness.

Yet, I always yearn for light.

Be strong.

Make a place for yourself
in the folk songs.

Don't you wish to say anything to me?

It's an order from the goddess.

You've to go.

I've always prayed that
I shouldn't shed tears..

..when this day comes in my life.

It's not just about me.

If any warrior who lifts
the sword and fights for victory..

..no woman of Vallabha
kingdom should shed tears.

They should shed fire
and not tears from their eyes.

I only pray for one thing to the goddess.

When our son who's
your reflection grows up..

..I shouldn't get the
chance to witness the day..

..when he'll sacrifice
his life for his country.

Once.. only once can
I withstand this immense pain.

After I leave, you've to be the lamp
that brightens up the darkness of my path.

When you'll proceed without
looking back always remember that..

..I'm with you in your every step.

The Goddess will protect you.

May you proceed towards
victory with every step forward.

Please accept these coins
as a gift from our king.

Our king is distressed so
he won't celebrate your departure.

We've to keep your departure a secret.

There are spies of our enemy everywhere.
Please be alert.

It's his order to perform
the other rituals and customs.

I'm going to attend Mamangam, mother.

Please bless me and bid me adieu.

I may not come back so as your
son I offer these gold coins to you..

..for the expenses of your
old age and seek your blessings.

You're my only son alive.

Who'll perform my last rites if you die?

Don't worry, I'll perform
your last rites at Thirunelly.

Go to Thirinavar, conquer
the stage of the festival, do or die.

Be victorious, my son.

I'm going to Mamangam with uncle, mother.

Bless me and bid me adieu.

If I don't come back then I.. I..

As your son I offer these gold coins
to you for the expenses of your old age..

..and seek your blessings.

As your son I offer these gold coins
to you for the expenses of your old age..

..and seek your blessings.

Go to Thirinavar, conquer
the stage of the festival, do or die.

Be victorious, my son.

You've to go ahead and perform
better than your uncle Chandroth.

You've to sacrifice your life first.

No. You're not allowed
to look back or go back, my son.

Mangal with go with you.

Don't forget to perform
the last rites at Thirunelly.

Shambhu, you know that many
people travelled through this route.

During Mamangam this place
was more crowded than Maha Kumbh.

But, this place has become deserted now.

This country has gradually been ruined.

Is it Talachanoor who's coming?

C'mon open the gate.

Keep the gate closed.
- Okay.

Nobody will come or go.

We've to stop any passers-by here.

Have you understood my instructions?

Yes.
- You've to be alert.

You shouldn't leave this
place unattended even for a moment.

Even the regular visitors
don't come here now.

A foreign trader was killed
in the brothel of dance Unnimaya.

He was very close to our king.

It's a serious matter.

Talachenoor is coming personally
to investigate the matter.

Nobody can escape from him.

Traitor!

Talakapu Nair can investigate
this murder case. Right?

The person coming here..

is not just the leader
of one but many Talakapus and armies.

The Chief Minister
Talachenoor is coming here.

It can't be an ordinary
trader who was killed.

The investigation is going to wreck havoc.

Unnimaya's dancing hall.

Hirama, the riches of the rich
people of Vallabha kingdom come here.

Your spies are spread across
the kingdom to identify Samudri's enemies.

Yet you couldn't catch even one enemy,
Talakapa Nair.

Please proceed towards the palace.

You'll get rest and
can investigate the matter.

Hirama, let this worthless
Talakapa Nair stay here.

Where are the dancers?

Call them.

Chief Minister, please don't get furious.

All the women who were here are missing.

Unnimaya. Go and bring her or..

Well, I must admit that
this palace is very beautiful.

More beautiful than Samudri's
palace built with the tax money.

But, it's neither too flashy nor dazzling.

Some people who were here on the night
of the incident are being interrogated.

Really?

I've made arrangements to bring
back the people who escaped, Talachenoor.

Carpets laid on the corridor..

..brightly lit lamps everywhere..

..with fragrant jasmines
and magnolias everywhere..

..with deer musk and sandalwood
fragrance everywhere..

..with plates and mirrors for decoration..

..golden vessels filled with milk..

..and lights that brighten
up the face deck this place where..

..women sell pleasure to the foreigners.

And they're saying that
they don't know who they are.

He's the caretaker of this place.

I'm sure he knows where Unnimaya is.

Chief Minister, as soon as I
was informed of the murder by Kumaran..

..the men and women panicked
and started running.

I also started running for my life.

During the commotion I saw
Rarichan going away in his horse.

Unnimaya went away with him.

They were defiant people.

They took away all
the other girls with them.

Who can be the women wearing
anklets and running on the terrace?

Or is it a bat or monkey?

Or has the Goddess Herself come before us.

Well, I don't who it
is but I want to see them.

Time to enjoy some betel leaves.

They're the women running on the terrace.

She's Unnimili, Unnimaya's younger sister.

Oh! So, you're dressed
like the tribe. Unnimili.

Where are you from?

I've come from distant
Kayamkulam for livelihood.

So, you're from Kayamkulam.

Then this sword is like a needle for you.

Would you like to try it?

I don't want to touch the woman
who give pleasure to the world..

..and hurt them.

It's a vow I've taken.

She should speak only if she
knows who killed the foreign trader.

I didn't kill anyone.

She's Karumal.

She has brought girls
smarter than you under control.

She'll make you speak the truth.

I want to know the secrets
behind her attire and face.

Hirama..

Come on.

..we need to catch Maya before dawn.

My family and I'm alive because
of the kindness of Samudri king.

I can sacrifice my
life and even kill for him.

It's my duty.

I don't know anything else.

Tell me whatever you know, Unnimili..

..or every girl here will be tortured
like this and made to speak the truth.

I will tell you. I will tell you.

Sir!

I used to sing when Maya danced.

That was my job.

We did the hard work but
it was Maya who kept all the money.

I couldn't tolerate it anymore.

So I had to kill the man.

I killed the foreigner
who was under sister's control.

He was not one of those traders
who came here for small business deals.

He kept unlimited gold
and precious gems with him.

To get a man like him I would've
had to wait till the next Mamangam.

We don't know who
would be alive till then.

I didn't want to kill him but
I made a mistake by believing Nair.

I planned to sedate with opium
an liquor and sell off some gemstones.

Did the foreigner believe
you when you said that..

..you dancers have precious gemstones?

He didn't believe me, Chief Minister.

He was not an ordinary
trader as you believe.

He was very cunning.

Those were gemstones given
to Kalapaku Nair by the Dutch.

Who can have the money
in Vallabha kingdom to buy them?

I wanted to sell those
gemstones to the foreigner.

We decide to seal the
deal at the temple behind..

..the mansion after the
dance performance was over.

Sister would've killed
me if she found out.

I was scared and reached there secretly.

As soon as the foreigner got
the gemstones his behaviour changed.

He said that they were
just pieces of glass.

When I told him to ret urn them..

..I thought that he would
go away without returning them.

I didn't let him go.

When he took out his
dagger during the argument..

..I gathered courage and stabbed him.

The foreigner died.

Before I could dispose the
dead body Kumuran came looking for me.

He started shouting and gathered a crowd.

I didn't want anyone to
blame Maya as she was innocent..

..so I confessed to
her and let her escape.

I accept any punishment that
you'll give me for the crime..

..committed by me for my livelihood.

Unnimili, Maya made a mistake.

You're not just a singer but
also an actress, a skilled actress.

Forget the story of
the imaginary gemstones.

There are thorny plants near the temple.

If you went there to check
on the dead body of Koya then..

..you wouldn't have come back
without few scratches and bruises.

The mud there hasn't stained your feet.

You haven't stepped out of the brothel.

How pure were the gemstones
that you wanted to sell?

I'm sure you don't know where they are.

Is this the gemstone
you were talking about?

It was not foreigner Samar
Koya to whom you sold this..

..after the dance performance that night.

We found this gemstone with
the Brahmin who was with you that night.

That's not all.

Do you think you're mentally
strong to kill anyone, Unnimili?

I don't know who's
behind this entire episode.

But, Samudri king's chief
Minister Talachenoor will..

..expose him before sunrise tomorrow.

Don't let her sleep for a moment.

I'll play the real game now.

Any information about
the people who escaped, Hirama?

Why did you blindfold the
eyes of this beautiful lady..

..who's praised by the
great musicians of the kingdom?

Can she hypnotize the sword
if you remove her blindfold?

Or are you all scared that the
fire in her eyes will burn all of you?

We did it so that she doesn't run away..

Let Talakapu who has
gone with the soldiers wander.

Remove her blindfold so that
I can see the truth hidden in her eyes.

Do you like it?

I've something more
for Maya who's only mine.

A marital chain for you.

Marital chain for a dancer
who entertains traders?

Who are these traders?

The lustful men who sell or pawn
their property to spend one night here.

I don't want to win your
heart with the sparkle of wealth..

..but with my love.

I'll think of a solution before
the upcoming Mamangam festival.

I'll take you with me from here.

Rarichan's plans were upset
when foreign trader Samar Koya..

..came here few days before Mamangam.

I had decided, Chief Minister...

..that I'll go to a foreign land with
Maya after Mamangam and settle down there.

I became furious.

I couldn't tolerate the scene.

Carry on, I'll soon join you.

I've come to take you with me.

I'll wait near the temple for you.

Don't be crazy.

He has paid for entertaining him.

The money is not yet over.

How can I stop it?

If you don't come then there
won't be any foreigner alive..

..whom you can entertain.

Unnimaya came near the
temple as per my instructions.

Before I could speak with
her the foreigner also came there.

I had only one option left.

Don't touch her.

This means that it's
not Unnimaya but it's you..

..it's you who killed Samar
Koya for this dancer. Right?

I was helpless, Chief Minister.

When he stepped ahead to stab
Unnimaya I was forced to backstab him.

There were injury marks on his chest.

He was not backstabbed.

Rarichan, you can't do this.

It was impossible not only for
you but anyone to kill Samar that night.

He was always alert for any attack.

He was strong enough
to fight all the soldiers..

..and the army of Vallabha
with his body and soul.

This is the reason why
the king of Samudri trusted him.

They must be our enemies. Go and check.

He was not born to be killed by
a prostitute and her lover near a temple.

He was here to kill all
the suicidal warriors who were...

..coming to challenge
us at Mamangam to seek revenge.

They don't have any arms.

They're not the people we're looking for.

He died while looking for these warriors.

This means that either
he found them or they found him.

Who is it whom you want to save
even after this thorough interrogation?

I want to know.

The crowded city of Mamangam.

The temple. River banks for bathing.

A resting room in the eastern
side of the banks for the women.

And the unmetalled road from the temple
leading to the Vagayur palace in the west.

This is the mansion of Mangat Chand.

On this side of the river
bank near the Tekyakada temple..

..is Eralpad's farmlands and house.

Security of 30,000 soldiers.

Only a person who has
seen all this can draw this.

Who can this person be?

Who painted the Mamangam
festival so minutely..

..as if he has witnessed it?

The wet colours prove that
this painting was completed recently.

Who is he?

He was not only a painter, Chief Minister.

He built these walls
and made a roof over it.

He cremated the dead lying in
the houses ravaged by your soldiers..

..and gave shelter
to these orphan girls here.

He was the only one who took
care of everybody as a mother.

He was an ordinary man like all of us.

It seems that the full moon
has pierced through the clouds..

..and descended on earth.

Mr. Shekhar, you're still ailing. Right?

Neither does the landlord of
this place nor the Chief Minister..

..Talachenoor wants you.

You ask these innocent naïve girls
to pay hefty sums for small services.

You could've set up pillars
made of gold instead wood..

..if you wished to with
the money given to you to buy oil.

Do you know that?

You can kill anybody for money.

Don't go empty-handed.
Go from here.

Nobody should step here before
the end of Thirunavaya Mamangam.

I don't care if you sell or
keep your wife's ornaments and property.

The Nairs like you've to have at least
thousand gold coins..

..if you wish to come here.

He was unique.

It was a game for him
to display his skills and art.

"The restless lanes turn
towards the lover's house."

"The anklets didn't
realize when it happened."

"Listen to me..
the anklets didn't realize it."

"The restless lanes turn
towards the lover's house."

"The anklets didn't
realize when it happened."

"Listen to me..
the anklets didn't realize it."

"The blue shy eyes
dances like the rivers."

"Listen, they captivate everything."

"They turn towards the love's lane.."

"The restless lanes turn
towards the lover's house."

"The anklets didn't
realize when it happened."

"Don't ask me about my heart's condition."

"The eyes can sleep."

"My courtyard is silent."

"Forget your anger."

"Listen to my pleas and come back,
my darling."

"Listen, please come back to me."

'If you're the vision
I'm your reflection."

"We're not separate."

"Listen, we're the same."

"If you're rhythm, I'm the musical notes."

"I'm a beautiful song."

"Listen to me."

"The restless lanes turn
towards the lover's house."

"The anklets didn't
realize when it happened."

I would like to have betel leaf now.
- Of course.

Here you go.

It seems that the betel
leaf was grown here.

But, the betelnuts are imported.
- Yes.

Our land can't hold on to betelnut
trees so it's difficult to grow them here.

This looks so beautiful.
Brighter than gold.

If you want then you
can come inside and rest.

This place is full of light and air.

Everything looks clear here.

Gondi..
- Yes.

..you've gained weight
by Talakapu Nair's money.

But, don't try to get intimate with
others the way you did with the British.

All the goods of the mountains was
given to the Dutch by landlord Nambiar.

They'll cross the boundaries
without paying anything.

We can earn a lot from them.

You don't care if your
country is destroyed.

You just want to earn money.

You're never satisfied.

The king, his ministers
and their acquaintances..

..everybody is the same.

Mamangam changes everything except..

..the land and the people here.

Painter, we heard the
story of a divine boy..

..from the people coming
from Vallabha kingdom.

He was a warrior from heart and not body.

I've heard that there was someone
25 years back who was very skilled.

A suicidal warrior from Chandroth.

He could jump so high that
he wouldn't touch the ground.

He would remain suspended
in the air and show his skills.

It's believed that
the absconding warrior's..

..warfare skill was unique.

Isn't this the tradition of Chandroth?

People who witnessed the
Mamangam 24 years ago say that..

..his sword skills, his energy,
his skill of flying like birds was unique.

Even the archers couldn't aim and hit him.

After 25 long years people
have seen this divine boy..

..perform the same skills in the air.

You're praising the suicidal
warriors who come to kill Samudri. Right?

The nomads can't be trusted.
They praise anyone.

Eradi and Nairs get energized
before the Mamangam begins.

They dare to send young boys..

..who are not even as tall as
the swords to sacrifice their life.

If we don't support them we'll
be killed and rendered homeless.

Don't let these tales excite you.

Go and rest.

I want to paint a unique scene here.

We started making different
colours in wooden containers.

The saffron from Kashmir
isn't red as they used to be.

If you want red colour then you
need to extract it from fresh hibiscus.

It's the actual red colour.

It looks like flowing blood.

The painting was half done
when Samar Koya reached there.

Aren't you painter Kurup?

I draw faces.

People will forget the songs
and tales but the paintings..

..will be alive as long
as the walls exist. Isn't it?

Beware of the thieves
and thugs in this country.

Beware of the spies too.

Samudri's spies are spies everywhere
from Thirunavaya to Karampura.

You'll be beheaded even before you know.

Where are you going?

I've performed a procedure
so that the colours bind together.

If I apply them before they
bind well then they won't last long.

It'll spoil the wall.

Please go and rest.

The mansion will come
to life in the evening.

I can see some secret hidden
in Kurup's eyes and a story behind it.

Keep an eye on him.

I never expected my
life to change suddenly.

I had everything in life.

A husband, two sweet children.

But tobacco shattered our lives.

I need to operate the cancerous
outgrowth that's spreading.

Nothing will be same.

Sometime I wonder what
the outcome of smoking will be?

Will it cause stroke?

Will it make me dependent on my family?

Will it lead to lung cancer?

Will it cause oral cancer,
heart diseases or emphysema?

The next time you decide
to smoke ask yourself..

..what the outcome of smoking will be.

Quit smoking today.

For help call 1800-11-2356.

Or give a missed call on 011-22901701.

There was no enemy there.

But, we recovered our spy Paramgoran
from near the waterfall is.

He's unable to speak now.

I think his tongue is stuck inside.

He can neither bring
it out nor keep it inside.

Sa.. Sa..

He was sent to give me the message
that Samar Koya has reached safely.

But, he has been brought
to me after I came here.

He'll tell us what happened
with him at the forest.

Kaimal informed that they didn't
notice anything mysterious there.

There are no signs of
any physical torture on him.

Father.. father..

Father..

Due to certain reason he's unable to talk.

But Paramgoran said something
which nobody told me.

Two strangers came here
whom nobody had seen here before.

A young man and a child.

Who are they?

What's their mystery?

Should I ask this half-dead
man who's unable to speak or..

..will all of you answer
me before I chop off your tongue?

A man bitten by snake in the
forest and a child who was with him..

..were brought here by someone.

It's true, Chief Minister.

He was hardly alive.

After leaving the children at
Kalighat Gurukul when I was coming back..

You told them to come to Unnimaya's
brothel to enjoy her hospitability..

..enjoy their performances
and then go back.

You invited them.

They accepted your offer
and came here immediately. Right?

What else can a person like
you who uses venomous snakes..

..in the forest for personal
gains do except spitting out poison?

You're mistaken, Chief Minister.

What do you mean?

The snake bit his hand.

When the snake came out his hand touched
it by mistake and the snake bit him.

Who else can remove the poison
except Kurupachand in this village?

So, he was brought here.

Okay.

Didn't you suspect
anything when you saw them?

A dying man and a
12 year old innocent boy.

Anyone who sees his
face can't suspect him.

Don't worry. Get some black pepper.

Open your mouth.

Is it spicy?

Is it spicy?

The poison has spread all over the body.

Snakes have less poison
during intercourse.

So, he's still alive.

Don't let him sleep.

It'll be risky for him if he falls asleep.

Let anything happen
but don't let him sleep.

Do you've knowledge about colours?

Green colour for ordinary deities.

Golden colour for Parvati and Lakshmi.

White and golden colour for Lord Shiva.

What about kings and warriors?
- Red.

What does it signify if rivers,
snakes and peacock are shown together?

Forest or deep forest.

What does blue lotus signify?

Full moon.

So, you're interested in painting.

There's a picture of
everything that we see.

You know everything. You're smart.

Can I colour the painting.
- Why not?

Do you know my great grandmother?

How can I know your great grandmother?

That's because you resemble her.

You can call me uncle.

Beautiful.

Uncle is sweating.

The effect of poison is wearing off.

What did you see with your insight?

A story which nobody talks or thinks of.

I've also heard a story
about a person like that.

My elder uncle's story
who's called a traitor.

My uncle could jump higher than the
betelnut tree and perform unique skills.

What mistake did your uncle commit?

He ignored the order of the
ancestral goddess, insulted our clan..

..and he absconded.

Tell me his story. I want to hear it.

There wasn't any brave warrior like my
uncle and there won't be anyone like him.

He was so fast that nobody could see him.

He could jump higher than
anybody could imagine a man to jump.

Nobody can use the sword like him.

He had vast knowledge
about the five elements.

Without using an umbrella he could save a
person from getting wet by suing a stick.

Once he travelled three and
half miles through heavy rainfall..

..by brandishing his sword.

He didn't let his companions get wet.

Do you think this is possible?

People who have seen
him shared these incidents.

Doesn't your traitor uncle have a name?

Didn't you ask anybody?

We're not allowed to take his name.

How could I ask?

After getting the divine
blessings of the goddess..

..and after perfecting warfare
skills he betrayed everybody.

He handed his family to the enemies and..

..committed the sin of absconding
without taking revenge for his clan.

I hope you won't betray me
after knowing my family secrets.

I'm listening to your story
so that nobody betrays you.. no one.

He finished the entire bowl.

His body is accepting the medicines now.

It's a good sign that he's hungry.

Did you eat anything?

I'm not hungry.

I've a medicine for your problem too.

I miss my mom when I see food.

I lose appetite when I try to forget her.

Treat me as your mother today.

When you'll go home after practice
your mom will be waiting for you.

I don't know if I'll be able to go back.

You'll definitely go back,
it's your uncle's promise.

I want to see Mamangam.

The British, Chinese and Arabs
come to attend it in large numbers.

It's an unforgettable experience.

The great festival of Mamangam.

As far as you see you'll notice
lots of tents, shops, traders..

..fill up this illusory marketplace.

How does it look?

What do you want to see there?
- Samudri.

A trap has been laid everywhere.

We should be alert.

Uncle, I'm not feeling sleepy.

You go to sleep, I'll be on vigil.
- Okay, son.

You can guard me.
When you feel sleepy, I'll protect you.

River bank for bathing near the temple.

To the eastern side of
it lies restrooms for women.

An unmetalled road leading from the main
entrance of the temple to Vagayur palace.

And then come Mangat Chand's mansion.

On this side of the river near
the temple is Erapal's farmland and house.

High walls surrounding the palace.

Guarded by 30,000 soldiers.

Everybody there is alert.

There are many secret
passages we're not aware of.

As soon as they get a hint
of danger they'll hide Samudri.

How do you know about Samudri's stage?

Amidst revelry,
celebrations and fireworks..

..the procession of the palanquin
of the Goddess is taken out.

Samudri exits from that way.

The crowd calms down
after the fireworks are over.

It's at that time that we've to protest.

Who shared this with you?

From where did you
get this false information?

Tell me.

From where did you get it? Tell me.

I'm not your enemy,
we're of the same blood.

I belong to the clan who're
blessed to be warriors..

..who sacrifice their lives.

"He's strong. He's fierce."

"He's brave."

"He's the epitome of valour."

"Mamangam!"

"He's firm and strong."

"He never stops."

"He has the spark of fire."

"He's the epitome of strength."

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

I did not become a warrior
to kill the innocent people around me.

Samudri whose Mamangam throne
leads to a secret basement..

..turned his defeat into victory.

I myself ruined my name.

I you want to kill me then kill me.
I stand here quietly.

I became more active.

I learned new techniques.

These are fake stories.

He's a coward.

Don't believe him.

Don't lose patience.

How can the suicidal warrior who
left the battlefield belong to our clan?

What's cowardice?

To back out so that there's no bloodshed?

Many centuries have passed since
the death of Samudri..

..who shed the blood of innocent people.

Mangalraja forgot everything.

But the Nairs of Vallabha still have
that fire of revenge within themselves.

There are Muslims who instigate them.

You're going to sacrifice the
life of this child for an incident..

..nobody witnessed.

You're waiting for death.

I won't let you go before
the people waiting to kill you.

I wore this mask so
that I could reach you.

Surrender your body and life
to the service of people who..

..have no one except you.

This should be the aim of your life.

I'll ensure that henceforth you
don't face any dangers in this journey.

Evil man, let me make it clear..

..you've been long dead for us.

You don't have the right to live.

You'll kill me with your own hands.

When I left home you were
going to start your training.

On the very first day of the training
the sword fell down from your hand..

..and you got hurt.

Your aunt and grandma started
crying when they saw it..

..and I also broke down.

But you tolerated the pain.

Everybody said you were brave.

Kill me.

We'll need blankets to
keep us warm in this cold night.

But these young men who have
vowed to take revenge won't need it.

You've to create a blanket of
dance and music..

..to divert the attention
of the foreigner.

After sunset tomorrow at 9..
9 in the night..

..all the guards on duty will fall asleep.

You need to start your
journey at that time.

Henceforth I'll always be with you.

You can trust Kurupachin
than anybody else.

"These delicate nights."

"These delicate nights."

"Sweet conversations."

"My darling, let me teach you."

"And colour you with hues of love."

"My darling, let me teach you."

"And colour you with hues of love."

"Listen to me."

"The delirious delicate nights."

"These delicate nights."

"Sweet conversations."

"Stop feeling shy."

"Look into my eyes."

"Learn from the moon and it's admirer."

"How can anybody live without love?"

'I'm my lover's beloved."

"I've been waiting for years."

"I'm speaking the truth."

"The nights that spill over."

"These delicate nights."

"Sweet conversations."

"You don't understand what I want."

"You don't understand what I want."

"I wish I get the whom
I want and life becomes joyous."

"I'm forever yours."

"Note it down."

"The melodious words."

"The fiery nights."

"These delicate nights."

"Sweet conversations."

From the descriptions we've
got from the people of this mansion..

..Samar died at least two times..

..for two or more reasons.

The young man and the innocent
boy whom they gave shelter..

..and Kurup who gave them
shelter are not present here.

He gave somebody the
detailed map of Mamangam..

..through this painting.

Hirama, we don't have
time to find out the truth.

All of them have killed Samar.

I'm sure all of you've
played a role in his murder..

..or only an incarnation
of God could've killed the devil.

You should've asked Kuruchi
of Kalahi port about Chandroth's powers.

I regret that your evil
blood will fall on this holy land.

The coward man who hides behind
women instead of facing the world..

..will die in Vallabha kingdom today.

You're fortunate to die here Koya.

If this is true then Kurup
and the boy with him are Panickers.

The warriors of Vallabha kingdom
whose target is to kill our king.

We need to proceed ahead
instead of going back.

The people of Vallabha kingdom
won't accept the flag of slavery.

The suicidal warriors
will be killed by us.

Remember that they shouldn't be
able to touch even the shadow of our king.

C'mon, let's go.

Chief Minister, they..

Don't kill any of them.

We must use the burning
lamp to set this place on fire.

She and her friends will perform
their last dance as we destroy this place.

When I'll come back through
this route after killing the warriors..

..I would like to see a
pond in the place of this brothel.

Hirama, blindfold her eyes
so that I am the last man she sees.

No. You won't be able to harm them,
Talachenoor because..

..the prayers of thousands
of woman and children..

.. whose lives have been
ravaged by wars are with Kurupan.

Samudri may go and hide
in his mother's womb but..

..this venomous snake will
definitely find him and bite him.

The lamps of this brothel
will never extinguish.

His prying eyes will always be on you.

You did not use the routes familiar to me.

I felt relieved when
I saw you near the hills.

Yet I wasn't sure if
anybody was following you.

In order to clear my
doubts I ran back two miles.

What next?

When you reach Vagayur you'll meet a
boatman waiting for you at the river bank.

It was sir who ordered me
to follow you like your shadow..

..since you began your journey from home.

You escaped from the
dangers of the storm and..

..the arrow shot at you
missed you because of sir.

He was the man who safely
took you to the mansion.

As soon as this news reaches
the palace the soldiers will set out.

They can reach here.

They can't come here.

They'll die if they ser
their foot in this tribal land.

They can also kill the
people who support the warriors.

This has always been the norm.

The people who support the warriors
also have to sacrifice their lives.

Nobody can reach his place.

We can't reach the person being
protected by thousands of soldiers..

..if the person is not an expert
in warfare techniques like you are.

He'll be killed in a moment.

I never saw you in action but
I've heard from my elders about you.

And in a few days I've realized
that they weren't mere stories.

If they don't go then we won't
be able to protect our kingdom's honour.

We need to answer back Samudri
with sword and not tongue.

Let the time come, we'll kill all of them.

I'm the last helpless
warrior who got trapped here.

I wanted to make the impossible
task possible and attain fame.

But, I was defeated.

I don't wish to send both of you who
belong to my family to that battleground.

I don't have the courage to do that.

How can I send both of you away?

I won't interfere in anything

The Goddess will guide you.

Alert everyone on the
other side of the forest.

There's no danger ahead.

Sometimes hunters hide behind the trees.

I've already planted my men
amongst the tribes and other clans..

..to save them from the army of Kozhikode.

When a person decides
to go to Mamangam then..

..every warrior becomes
an asset for the kingdom..

..and every citizen
of our kingdom your friend.

We'll stay here tonight.

Kanappa's warfare gurukul.

Even the shadows here will
protect us with their swords.

Did you come here before?

I was made to sit on a mat there
and served lunch with lot of love..

..when I was going to Thirunavaya.

They were going to serve food
when Kanappa's friend Manicker's wife..

..crossed the waterfall and came here
and informed us about impending danger.

His family who went to the market for
shopping informed them after coming back.

When I noticed the soldiers from
Kozhikode coming in this direction..

..I left my meal and got up
but Kanappa told me to finish the meal..

..and assured that he would handle them.

When I was about to leave
the women gave me a grand farewell..

..by throwing flowers on my way,
some of them even started crying.

As soon as I got out of here
Talachenoor's army reached here.

They surrounded the entire area.

The foreign soldiers with him
killed them and destroyed everything.

They ravaged the entire place.

They dug huge holes and buried them.

Everything ended for
this suicidal warrior.

You can trust even the shadows here.

I've heard the tales
of bravery of Kanappa.

Despite his great sacrifice,
you forgot your goal.

He sacrificed his life
but you're still alive.

Before death he must've been the first
suicidal warrior who raised his voice..

..against deaths caused by betrayal.

Against the tradition of
bravery prevalent in his family.

Death is the only truth
in this illusory world.

Doesn't Mangal have anyone else?

Siblings, children or family?

He had a son of your age.

An innocent child who couldn't speak.

When they went to Karampura
he was also killed.

Poor fellow!

Why do we cremate a body after death?

Only then does the soul merges
with the five elements of nature..

..and the mind merges with the Almighty.

If we don't cremate the
body then it'll be devoured by..

..vultures, eagles and scavengers. Right?

If my body is not cremated properly then..

This will not happen to you.

So what if this happens?

It's also nature's law. Right?

A warrior's name is
alive even after death.

People are scared of him.

Even if one warrior goes
to Mamangam it flares up..

..the fire of revenge in
the hearts of women who live here.

The women keep the fire of the death
of their near ones alive in their hearts.

We've taken birth from
the wombs of such brave women.

And we've grown up
after drinking their milk.

No, Unni..

..I won't let the scavengers
feast on your body.

Go to sleep.

The journey is long.

Consider this your mother and feed her.

What if we win and come back?

Your mother hasn't died, Unni.

We're the ones who're going to sacrifice
our life for an illusory purpose.

You also have to perform the last
rites for the warriors who'll support us.

After breaking through
numerous mazes as you proceed..

..no other warrior can protect you.

Only the warrior can protect himself.

We shouldn't burden ourselves
with any thought that's overbearing.

We not only have to get rid of fear..

..we also have to forget
the relationships that bind us.

Only then the skills of
a suicidal warrior become strong.

Will you be able to break through
the shackles and cut the roots?

If you can do that only
then you can attain your purpose.

"He's strong. He's fierce."

"He's brave."

"He's the epitome of valour."

"Mamangam!"

"He's firm and strong."

"He never stops."

"He has the spark of fire."

"He's the epitome of strength."

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

"Mamangam!"

Please forgive me.

The person who was termed a traitor and
defamed by the family and the kingdom..

..is full of love and
kindness and I know it now.

There won't be any Mamangams in future.

Nor will there be warriors like us again.

We'll end this game of bloodshed.

Bless me.

It'll be a mistake if I think that
you'll be defeated..

..at the place where I was defeated.

Succeed and prove my doubts wrong.

The weapons I gave you
during practice and the skills..

..and tactics I've taught you,
may you always remember it.

I pray that we don't have to
sacrifice you and this innocent child..

..to upheld the honour of our clan.

It's heart wrenching for
me yet I'll remember my gurus and..

..bless that both of you
be remembered as great warriors.

Conquer death.

Come with us.

Moin.

Let anybody point a dagger
at you or raise his hands against you..

..remember that Moin will
always be with his dear friend.

Moin, go back.

Take care of the family
if I die in this battlefield.

It'll help me attain salvation.

If anything happens to you then
who'll support your mother and wife.

Before breathing his last
my dad told me one thing that..

..I need to be with
you till my last breath.

My father's wish is a divine order for me.

We're not here to
become martyrs this time.

We'll behead our enemy and I'll
carry you back home on my shoulders.

Come.

If anybody wants to challenge
our dear king of Samudri..

..for being the head of
the event of Mamangam then..

..he can come forward.

King!

I wish to offer your head
to the warriors of Vallabha kingdom..

..as a sign of respect.

I won't go back unless I behead Samudri.

Get ready.

Kill him.

The Goddess has saved him.

The body of the young warrior is not here.

What are you doing
amidst these dead bodies?

I've come to make a new folk
song on the suicidal warriors.

The nomads will start
singing about hiding..

..the warrior's body from tomorrow.

I don't know who has taken
the warrior's body from here..

..but he won't be
able to cross the border.

You can send all your 20,000 soldiers.

Nobody is going to come back.

If someone climbed the stage
of Mamangam without any weapon..

..and took away the body
of the young innocent warrior..

..from right under the nose of Samudri
then its nobody but our senior warrior.

Chandroth Panicker.

It's the dead body
of the suicidal warrior.

Be it a human or an animal
who's bringing the body of warrior..

..he shouldn't be able
cross the boundaries.

Bury the traitor who
is trying to cross the forest.

I try to quench my
sword's thirst for blood...

..with the blood of the warriors
from your family who come to kill Samudri.

But no amount of blood
is able to satiate it, Panicker.

First it was your son
returning home from the market.

Yesterday it was your nephew..

..followed by the small boy on the stage.

Now it's you who has challenged my sword.

I'll kill you and your
family with the sword made...

..by the blacksmith for the goddess.

And I'll do it.

This sword dedicated to the Supreme Power
was purified by the blood of warriors.

I won't make this sword
impure with your evil blood.

The warriors and the common people who've
been victims of your sword till date..

..were killed by deceit.

Please leave me. Spare me.

No! No!

He is the innocent child
whom you all sent to Mamangam..

..to retain your honour.

He wasn't killed by
Samudri or his soldiers.

He has been killed by you all who've
been living with the desire for revenge..

..for the last 350 years.

It's useless to cry now.

The plight of the women of this
kingdom is more miserable than the men.

I'm speaking from experience.

I broke my pledge never to take
up weapons only to save your husband.

It's a curse on this
kingdom and our family.

Nobody could save my child who
always stayed away from this conflict.

The child died even before
he could live his life.

He'll be known as Devputra (Son of God)

Despite knowing all the tactics
this child who sacrificed his life..

..just like Abhimanyu will
be the last suicidal warrior.

I've got the responsibility
to make you realize..

..your mistake of sacrificing the lives
of your brothers to the powerful kings.

Goddess, you know everything.
Please pardon our mistakes.

I'll remain alert till my last
breath to ensure that no life is harmed.

The dead body of any suicidal
warrior was never brought from..

..Tirnavaya to Vallabha kingdom
except on this one occasion.

There's a proof of this incident
in Makkaraparamba..

..in Mallapuram district of Kerala.

The memorial of the innocent
Chanthunni in a village named Pang.

The name of the warrior or the
yogi who brought his dead body back..

..has not been mentioned in history.

But, this man has been
kept alive in few lines..

..of the folk songs of the nomads.

When the suicidal warriors
set out with new weapons today..

..we remember the messenger of peace
for a new dawn that's free from bloodshed.
