- It's a revolver? - Yes.

- You haven't used it recently, right? - No, no.

Rounds...

- Okay, then. - Okay.

Has everyone turned in their guns?

No.

- One Mr. Appu Pillai is left. - Okay.

Please show your IDs.

Mom, my ID.

- There are two witnesses, right? - Yes, yes.

Show the ID proof.

Aparna...

Groom's ID?

Here it is.

Full name?

Ajayachandran K. V.

Ajayachandran.

Father's name?

K. Appu Pillai.

You've come from quite far, huh?

How did you end up here?

Where's he from?

Nedunchal.

Nedunchal...

Oh! That's the place with many eco-tourism attractions, isn't it?

- Yes. - Okay.

Ajayetta,

it's from the police station.

- Sir... - Okay.

Just a minute.

- Are you Ajayan? - Yes.

- Appu Pillai?

He is my father.

Not that. Is Appu Pillai with you now?

Sir, I'm not home at the moment.

- What about your dad?

Dad is at home.

But he didn't answer when we called your home.

Dad doesn't really use the landline much, Sir.

That's for outgoing calls, right?

He can still answer incoming calls, can't he?

It's not that, Sir. He isn't comfortable using it.

What's the matter, Sir?

Appu Pillai is a gun license holder, right?

Yes.

Did you see the notice asking for licensed firearms to be surrendered?

- No. - But there is such a notice.

It is mandatory. Today's the last date.

Oh! Due to the elections, right?

I had read it in the newspaper.

It must be brought to the station before noon.

I'll reach home by around 4.30 PM.

Will it be late if I come after that, Sir?

My dad doesn't go out much.

- That will be late.

Where is your house?

Nedunchal.

- Where in Nedunchal?

On the way to Thirunelli.

Is it near the forest office?

- It is before the forest office. - Okay.

The house is known as Kodaykkal Veedu, Sir.

Okay. We will go and collect it ourselves.

- Is it regarding the gun? - Yes.

Why are you so stressed about it?

He would have found it by now.

[phone rings]

- Dad... - Yes.

Did you find it?

No.

I received a call from the station.

They've asked me to get it there before noon.

If not, will they court-martial me?

I have been searching for it since dawn.

If I don't find it, tell them I'll carve a wooden gun and hand it over.

Damn circulars and surrender notices, all for a puny pistol!

I'll call you when I find it!

Hang up now!

That's what I told you...

We should've filed a petition this morning when he said it was missing.

That's for our safety as well.

If someone has stolen it

and fires it somewhere,

we need to have solid backing, right?

I'm just talking about the worst-case scenario.

Isn't it better than having to say it's missing

when the police come to the house for it?

I understand, Shivetta.

I'd even told Dad that we must file a petition.

It's because Dad objected, right?

Okay.

Anyway, let him continue searching.

Finish what you came here for. Come.

Okay.

- Happy married life! - Thank you, Sir.

- Okay, then. - Okay.

Okay, then.

- Okay. - See you.

Aparna...

Why didn't you come inside?

I just got here.

He is Praveena's brother.

- Prashobh. - Hi.

Come home once you're settled.

Okay.

How long are you on leave for?

I haven't received the call yet.

I'll be here for two months anyway.

Okay.

You guys carry on.

It's getting late, right?

All the best.

Shall we go?

[Kishkindha Kaandam]

Smith & Wesson, 9mm.

It is a pistol, right?

Yes.

It's been three years since the license was renewed, right?

Yes.

- That's the one. K. Appu Pillai.

Okay.

- Sir... - Yes.

Everything's good in the station records.

In February 2021,

he had surrendered the pistol to renew the license.

So, after completing the renewal, we returned it as well, right?

Yes, Sir.

As a former army officer,

you must be aware of the hassles behind this, right?

How can people like you be so careless in handling it?

You are?

- I am his son. - What do you do?

I work in the Forest Department, Sir.

Shivadasettan's...

Yes.

He had mentioned your wedding when he requested two days off.

Congrats.

The notice to deposit the gun was issued well in advance, right?

And you're only saying the gun is missing now, at the last minute?

- Errr.... - What is this, Shivadasetta?

How did this even happen with you around?

Well, Sir... I just got to know from Ajayan.

Fine. But they could have at least informed the station

right away when they realized it was missing, right?

If this election hadn't come up,

would they have even realized it was missing?

What if someone misuses it?
