Ithiri Neram (2025) Movie Script
In the past, relationships
were hierarchical.
Once they were meant to
teach obedience.
But in a democratic society,
relationships are based on mutual respect.
Individuals should be shaped
to respect each other.
In modern society,
individuals choose each other.
In the past, it was families,
religion and caste...
Today individuals evolve
apart from all this.
A relationship actually
involves finding a mate.
There, love begins. One discovers a partner
and wishes to start a life with them.
In these times, applying the old
logic of marriage and
conditioning people in that way to
find mates should be considered a mistake.
Maithreyan, you often say
that the institution of family
interferes with personal
liberty like a jailer...
Families actually teach us
to create the "other"
keep them away
and hate them.
This involves...
Houses have fences,
then walls within them
going inside is
like going into a jail.
They are factories
supplying society with
humans trained to live
without personal liberty.
If you look closely, each house
is an antisocial establishment.
A modern society should
rebuild this structure.
Thanks a lot, Maithreyan.
For spending 'A little while' with us.
- It was a pleasure.
- Likewise.
We'll be back to spend 'A Little While'
with another guest next week.
We'll be back to spend
'Femina Sarees & Kurissery Jewellery
A Little While'
with another guest next week.
'A LITTLE WHILE'
Bro, what's the plan?
Plan... You and Rajan bro
will arrange everything.
I'll just quickly pop in
at home and come over.
- Where's the room?
- Our usual place. At Aristo Junction.
By the time you check in,
I'll make a landing.
Okay!
Hey, don't expect me to
interview this guy, OK?
I was also against
having this moron.
But the boss insisted...
- Anish!
- Yeah?
One second.
You go ahead.
I'll come.
- All the best!
- Thanks!
Don't look that way.
That ogler is there, as usual.
Hey!
Bro, trouble?
- Nah.
- Just nagging?
Yeah, his usual.
I'll be off.
You go get the stuff.
Bro, sides too?
- Yeah, buy.
- Cool...
How about some chicken or beef?
Not just any chicken or beef...
It has to be from Hotel Taj.
Three beef fry and
liver fry as sides.
Chicken fry for dinner,
and plenty of parotta.
Nice enough!
On the way, get some
banana fritters too
to have with the beef.
Heavenly, bro! Heavenly...
- I'm off then. Call Rajan bro.
- Sure, will do.
Hello...
Hello...
Where are you, bro?
Hey, I have two drops.
I'll come straight to Aristo.
Where's Anish bro?
He'll reach there.
You come soon.
Dude, will you buy the sides?
I'll take care of it.
What booze?
Let me go and check, bro.
It's been ages since we
got sloshed in a hotel room.
First you reach there and
arrange everything, bro.
We'll have a blast today!
Alright.
And hey, buy half a kilo
of banana and my cigarettes.
You know which banana to buy?
The small yellow one, right?
Gosh!
Good thing I asked.
Don't you remember? I usually
munch on the red banana, right?
You know, the big fat one.
It'll make the morning dump
glide out smoothly...
If I have the yellow ones,
I'll be screwed with constipation.
I've got piles, dude...
OK, then.
Oh no!
Life's tough, eh?
True.
Sorry!
By the window of my room,
on the slender clothesline...
...the dress you once left to dry...
...still hangs there; Blocking the sun,
casting a shadow...
Light hesitates halfway;
Reluctant to enter...
Hangs there; Blocking the sun,
casting a shadow...
Light hesitates halfway;
Reluctant to enter...
By the window of my room,
on the slender clothesline...
...the dress you once left to dry
...still hangs there; Blocking the sun,
casting a shadow...
Light hesitates halfway;
Reluctant to enter...
The leaves that fall in each shade
are fondly picked away by the breeze
Fondly picked away
by the breeze...
The leaves that fall in each shade
are fondly picked away by the breeze
Likewise that still moist memory of me,
you must fold away with oblivion...
You must fold away
with oblivion...
You must fold away
with oblivion...
- I'd booked a room.
- Your name, Sir?
- Rajan! Don't you know?
- Rajan, yeah...
- Just the sign, right?
- Yeah.
My name and address
are already here.
Okay, then!
A LITTLE WHILE
Hey...
You'll manage it alone here, no?
I could've avoided it.
But I had promised them.
I'll be back by 8:30.
Everything ready for tomorrow?
What's left?
Johny will take care of
the church stuff.
The dress, crown and candle
are in there, right?
Then the transport...
Rajan bro will take care of it.
- Tell me, Chanchal.
- Bro, I'm at the liquor store.
- What should I get?
- What all are there?
Well, all the brands
in the world are here.
You like rum, right?
I'll get that?
That's OK.
Get what you like.
Really?
In that case,
what about whiskey?
Go ahead.
What's your budget?
Around a thousand five...
Two thousand five...
Three thousand five...
Three thousand.
Three thousand, it is.
That won't be enough for a single malt.
Will look for some blend.
Your choice.
There goes that dream...
Just three of you, right?
With four pegs each...
Isn't it a bit much?
Keep a count.
Before the third ice cube
falls on the fourth peg
Lord Anish will be here.
All hail his...
Praise the Lord.
Bro, cash...
Broke... ass.
'Bottle+Sides'
Coming...
- Dude, you are here!
- What took you so long, bro?
Got all the stuff?
What else is this?
Parotta, liver fry,
chicken fry, beef fry
banana fritters,
your red banana.
- Then cigarettes and Bombay mix.
- Bombay mix? For what?
I have cravings too, bro!
- Hey, you got the bottle?
- Of course!
Take it out...
Quick!
What a beauty!
B A I L...
Brushing up your alphabets?
Balan?
What's this stuff?
Bro, it's damn smooth.
Sip it with your eyes closed,
it'll taste better than single malt.
Half the price too.
Goosebumps, bro! Goosebumps!
Is it? Why didn't you
try for single malt?
I didn't want to ask.
Actually, that's good.
It's not about paying for the drinks.
He had the heart to come drink with us
on the eve of his child's baptism.
That's love!
Love, it seems! He was also
dying for a drink, just like us.
You won't get it
Hey Jibin...
Hello...
- Ah, when did you reach, uncle?
- Just now, dear.
- Brother!
- Yes!
You didn't say you are coming!
Do cops announce their arrival?
Where are you off to, Ani?
- I have a shoot.
- Today?
You are always busy...
Looks like your 'A Little While'
has become a long while.
Annie, come in.
I'll be off, then.
- Will you come for the baptism at least?
- Yes, for sure.
Ani, aren't you taking
your bike?
Come here, brother.
To tell you the truth,
there is no shoot.
There are two pals from the office.
I couldn't treat them for my wedding.
The circumstances were such, right?
They've helped me a lot.
It gets hectic from tomorrow onwards.
So thought of finishing this off.
Also, I suspect an overdose of
Hindu-Christian camaraderie here today.
True that.
Wait, why don't you come too?
Quickly have a round and return.
Crazy or what? If your sister
comes to know, she'll turn violent.
Also, I have night patrol.
OK then, I'll quickly have
a round and return.
- Hey!
- Yes!
Don't tell her about this, OK?
If she comes to know,
my head will be the first to roll.
OK, then.
Hello...
Anish, this is Anjana.
Oh... Anjana.
How are you?
Good.
How are you, Anjana?
Good.
Busy?
No no... I'm out to
see some friends.
Oh... is it?
Then I'll call later.
Not an issue.
I can talk now.
Ah...
I'm actually in Trivandrum now.
Oh, in Thiruvananthapuram?
Yeah, came to the Corporation office
for some work.
It's been a couple of days.
Will return to Delhi tomorrow morning.
Oh.
Thought not to call you.
I'm going to the US this Sunday
for my post-doctoral.
Shock after shock!
Not sure when I'll return.
So just called you.
Where are you right now?
I'm at the public library.
A dose of... nostalgia.
Anything up for the evening?
Nothing specific.
I'm staying with a friend.
Need to go there. That's it.
Shall we meet?
Now?
Yeah, now.
I'm not sure, Anish.
Wait right there.
I'll come now.
Let's meet briefly.
Then you can leave, OK?
OK?
OK.
See you.
See you.
Bro, let's go to
the Public Library.
Keep the change.
What's left to keep?
Eh... how come... here?
Eh.. How come... where?
Was I late?
No... not an issue.
Traffic...
A lot these days...
Quite true.
Beard looks nice...
Suits you.
Thanks.
You look great too, Anjana.
Clean shave suits you.
Do we need to stand here and talk?
There's a cafe nearby
that I know.
To spend "a little while", right?
- Parents still in Dubai?
- Yeah.
Doing good?
Yeah.
In touch with any of
our old friends?
No.
What a beauty!
- Bro...
- Yeah?
Isn't it time
Anish bro got here?
Wonder what's up...
Any trouble at home?
His wife would've made an issue?
No way.
She's quite understanding.
Some relatives, maybe?
He really has lots of expenses.
First, the Hindu naming ceremony.
Now baptism...
As Onam gets over,
comes Christmas.
Sankranti, church feast...
Gosh! Never-ending expenses...
No wonder the elders advise
not to marry out of religion, right?
It's going to rain.
Hey, just call him and check.
- Should I?
- Yeah.
Oh, just miss!
He isn't picking up.
Try again after five minutes.
What to do...
Oh, what to...
Where's my lighter?
Did you take my lighter?
Your lighter...
Here it is.
Can't catch it like
the old days, eh?
Today I'm going to
drink till I drop, bro!
Yeah, feel free to.
I will.
I will...
- Shall we go there?
- Eh, where?
See, there.
- Over there?
- OK.
Let me just text my friends
that I'll be late.
'...even if the eyes are
not red, but just droopy...'
'...it can be a symptom
of cannabis use.'
'Excessive appetite and sometimes
a craving for sweets is observed.'
'Stomach upset is also seen...'
Should've bought some
sweets as sides too.
Glutton!
Touch my red bananas
and I'll kill you.
You eat your red banana.
I don't want it.
Stake...
Stick..
Stock at home...
You...
Shut... start...
I'll come...
Seven two dots three zero...
Give it to me!
'Stuck at home. You start.
I'll be there by 7:30.'
Here!
Married with two kids, now she
plans to elope with another man.
Such a slut...
Filthy whore!
You've nothing to say?
Let's order juice?
Don't make me look silly, Anish!
Order a drink.
Eh...
- You kidding?
- Seriously!
Any problem?
No. No problem.
When did you start drinking?
You call the guy.
Brother!
Get me rum.
You?
Me too.
With soda or cola?
Cola for me.
You?
Just water.
And, any snacks?
- Snacks...
- Peanut masala for snacks.
Fine?
Get some pickle too.
Pickle will come along with it.
So, two rum 60 ml,
one cola, peanut. OK?
Let me use the restroom.
Hey, you feel hot
under the air conditioner?
Yeah, bro.
Wish I could get an ice cream...
Please tell Anish bro to buy
ice cream when he comes.
Dark chocolate.
Fudge is also fine.
It's bad to trouble him.
Let's try room service.
Here's the menu.
Hey, know why I call him "Anish bro"
with respect even if he's younger?
The day I met him, he told me to
call him by his name and not 'Sir'.
He's a gem.
Real gem!
Also, wasn't it us who stood
by them for their wedding?
Remember how everyone opposed it?
See how happy they are now!
All the relatives are happy too.
They are what you call
an ideal couple!
That's all fine...
But he's no gem as you say.
Why?
Was he on my side when
I needed him the most?
In that incident...
When you were caught
watching porn in office?
Bro...
Right.
I watched porn.
Still he could've stood by me.
That rascal Manoj interfered,
and it became a mess.
I felt really isolated...
Do you still do that?
No. Not at all.
I've completely stopped watching
porn on the office computer.
Now only on the phone.
I've put on weight, right?
No...
I didn't notice.
Of course you did.
I've put on a wee bit,
haven't I?
It's been six or
seven years, Anjana...
For a girl in her late twenties...
I mean, for a person
it's natural to be fatter than
their early twenties, right?
Are you fat shaming me?
No. I was just pointing out
a scientific fact.
How do you know it's scientific?
OK...
I was pointing out
a commonsensical fact.
There's nothing called
a "commonsensical fact".
It's either common sense or fact.
This is the problem when you study
a pseudoscience like Political Science.
What?
Nothing.
No, why did you laugh?
You are still the same...
Same pain in the ass, right?
The same thorn stuck in the ass.
Yeah, just like that.
Loosen up a bit.
By the way, you're also the same!
Nicely dodged...
- Dodged what?
- My question!
You didn't answer me.
Am I a fat tie?
Oh my... how is this fat?
Anyway, when did you start
worrying about your looks?
Am I a fat tie or not?
Okay...
Instead of Negro, now we say
"person of colour", right?
Mmm?
Similarly, instead of fat tie,
we can say "person of spare tire".
You... rascal!
What else! After all this while,
is this what you ask?
The downfall of
a revolutionary leader!
I saw how you looked
at me earlier. So I asked.
I'm not asking you if I'm fat.
I'm asking you if you missed me.
I missed you.
Missed you a lot.
See that baldie
in the orange shirt?
Hmm?
When I went to the restroom,
he was sneaking around.
But no need to rough him up, OK?
Will spare him for now, right?
Cheers, then...
To America?
To the good old days.
'Bro-in-Law Jibin'
'currently unavailable'.
To my wife and kids,
I'm still a hard-core communist.
Even after college you were with
the party for a while, right?
Oh, I left it long ago.
All that wasted sloganeering
and back-breaking protests!
I'm still a true communist.
I'm not fickle like you.
Inside the campus, you can
afford such high ideals.
If you carry all that into
the real world, you're done.
I know that!
That's why I keep studying.
When you say "wife and kids"...
You have kids already?
One daughter.
Name is Daya.
- Tomorrow is her baptism.
- Really?
You rascal!
And you're here?
That's okay. I was anyway
going to another booze party.
Your wife is truly lucky to have
such a responsible husband!
I had come to know about
your marriage back then.
I'm not active on social media lately,
so I've missed the latest developments.
But I sometimes listen to
your "A Little While" episodes.
And some of the old channel shows too.
So you stalk me, eh?
Naughty girl...
Come on... It's just that
you don't get a chance.
If I had been on Facebook,
we would've seen.
Hey, it's not necessary to be
on Facebook to stalk.
I might be the top visitor of IIT Delhi's
Physics doctoral program page.
What's the...
What's the topic of
your research thesis?
Really?
Hey, I too know some physics.
Bring it on...
Efficient quantum memory of orbital
angular momentum qubits in cold atoms.
Oh... my...
Shouldn't have!
So, let's repeat the order?
Really?
- If you're in a hurry to leave...
- Hey no! I'm in no hurry.
Who's it?
Celebrity!
Hey, try calling him once again.
Hey!
I said, call him!
At work, those losers just care about
YouTube views and listener count.
Can't blame them.
The public has no interest in the truth.
Some titillation, a few cheap thrills,
throw bits of fact in between...
That's how it goes.
And how does that make you feel?
Ah!
No way I'm going to chat up
some viral chick of the week.
You have some spine left, I see.
You've been needling me
for a while...
What was it?
"Nicely dodged"
"fickle"
"spineless"...
What are you trying to say?
Don't you know?
Know what?
I don't know anything.
Leave it then.
Let's not go there.
I'll wait outside.
The relatives are all sweet.
Nothing like I feared...
What's it, Mom?
All his comings and goings at
odd hours, supposedly for work...
Even on the eve of such
an occasion, why isn't he here?
Don't you also hear stories
about film and media guys?
Anish isn't like that.
You leave.
Dad's waiting.
I'm going for a smoke.
Oh, you smoke too?
Go ahead, judge away!
- No... Not like that...
- Then, what's it like?
Like "Oh my nonsmoker teetotaller friend,
have you now started drinking and smoking?"
Not like "Being a woman
why do you smoke and drink?"
Yeah, right.
Just saying, don't damage your
beautiful innards. That's all.
So, how goes your love life?
Was active.
Not anymore.
What happened?
There was someone.
We broke up.
Hmm.
Parents not keen on
marrying you off?
They are keen.
I should also be, right?
I'll be off to the US soon.
Then they'll have a tough time.
Never felt like settling down?
Mmm?
Emotional scars...
Damn, not again.
Am I responsible for
your emotional scars?
You did it to yourself, right?
Me?
What did I do?
You weren't ready to marry
and wanted to study.
Who said that first?
You, right?
I didn't say I wanted to study.
I said I wanted a job
and get settled.
Ask any guy to marry at 21,
he will panic.
Otherwise, he should be the son of
some builder or a liquor baron.
You guys will still panic.
The problem with your lot is
not the lack of money or job.
It's commitment phobia.
The insecurity that becoming
a slave to one woman
will hinder your chances
of impregnating others.
So the plan was to
make me a slave?
What a narrow escape!
You were always good at evasion.
Now you've become an expert.
This is my point.
At 21, when I was ready
to commit, you weren't.
And I went through a heartbreak
and left for Delhi.
Then when you were ready at 24,
I had lost all hope.
I just wanted to study.
Obviously I asked you
for more time.
Didn't I need more time
to make up my mind?
You got angry, dumped me,
married the first girl you met
had a kid and now
it's her baptism.
Isn't that the summary
of this lousy story?
Do you have a different opinion?
- Do you?
- No.
Then let's just settle
the bill and leave.
You said you skipped lunch.
- Should we order something?
- No, I'm good.
My friend has cooked biriyani.
Need to eat that.
- Where does she live?
- Kumarapuram.
I'll drop you there
in an autorikshaw.
Won't you be late?
You leave, Anish.
Hey, that's OK.
I'll pay.
Anjana...
Bye, Anish.
Auto!
Are you upset about what I said?
Not at all.
It's fine.
Auto...
- Will you go to Kumarapuram?
- Yeah.
Come...
Drop me there and go.
You still come to the public library?
Never...
Who needs it these days?
Remember,
in the reference section
the sweeper lady
catching us red-handed?
Hmm.
Hanuman Temple is
this way, right?
Yeah yeah...
At the parking lot,
inside your pappa's old car...
Hmm.
- Is it still there?
- Yeah, sure!
I've kept it as a memorial
of our failed romance.
Sold it for scrap long ago.
In the double-Decker bus...
If you go on, we've been up to
mischief at every spot in the city
except the Palayam Market.
Come on!
As if we...
All this hype for just some
fondling and kissing...
You've no idea how stressed
I was, even for that...
My God!
Wasn't there a shopping centre
near our college
where you often used to
go ogle at girls?
Kedaram - the paradise of oglers.
Yes.
You still drink Sharjah milkshake
and ogle at girls?
No way!
These days, I go to a
rooftop restobar nearby.
A nice joint. Not very crowded.
You get a full city view from there.
I sit there alone, with a beer.
Really alone, you know!
And look at the city lights.
These days, that's my main
chill-out activity in life.
Poor thing!
Are you sad to drink alone?
Yeah.
Need company?
Now?
Is it too late?
No, it's okay.
I have permission
to get home late.
Oh, but Chanchal and Rajan bro
will feel bad if I reach late.
It's okay.
They'll drink and curl up there.
Will it be a problem
if you're late, Anju?
Not at all.
Am I like you?
I'm a free bird.
Bro, turn the auto.
Let's go to Statue Junction.
- Don't want to go to Kumarapuram?
- No, bro.
Come.
See you.
- Are we late?
- Nah, this is the time.
I never thought you'd
become such a hard drinker.
This is nothing.
You should've stuck to rum.
It's better not to mix drinks.
Heard the saying, "don't mix drinks,
and never during the day..."?
Bullshit. The whole cocktail industry
is based on mixing different alcohols.
I can hold my drink.
Okay.
You should've had
some dinner at least.
Why drink on an empty stomach?
Not a problem at all.
Who's that?
Another fan?
Still have this ringtone?
- Hello.
- Hello.
Yes, Sir.
Tell me.
Hey, one minute.
Four beers, right?
Okay, Sir.
Room number?
Okay, Sir.
'Will you be late?'
When I heard that ringtone...
Let's move to that table?
Let's go.
Was the call from home?
No.
It was Rumaiza.
My friend in Kumarapuram...
She works night shifts.
Called to say she has kept
the key in a flower pot.
So, you're alone there tonight?
Yes.
Sir, any last order?
One more rum.
You know what, make it two.
Two rums.
'Rajan and Chanchal
not letting me leave.'
'I'll reach early morning'
Anju...
Is what you said earlier really
the summary of our story?
I've often felt that...
I could've avoided all this mess
if only I knew how to talk openly.
Now I feel, we could've sorted all
our issues over a drink like this.
Right?
How's Geethu?
After we grew apart, I was...
I felt like I had lost
an organ or something.
I was losing my mind.
Anger towards you...
Anger towards parents...
Anger towards the society,
anger towards the job...
As Amitabh Bachchan says...
"Against the whole system!"
Anger overload.
Two years went by like that.
I met Geethu after that.
We did not have
a dating phase as such.
It was a quick decision
to get married.
I felt I'd lose it otherwise.
In fact, marriage was
a replacement therapy.
That's how things panned out.
Are you both happy?
Geethu's really cool.
She cares for me a lot.
I too care for her.
But...
But?
There's something missing.
You asked me about my
love life earlier, right?
I told you I was emotionally scarred.
It wasn't about you.
Then?
For a long while,
I couldn't move on.
Then there was...
someone else.
Recently.
And then?
It ended badly.
Badly, how?
What happened?
What happened is...
I was really into him...
I thought it was
the same with him.
Things were going really good
for about a year.
Then...
Suddenly one day
there was a change in the attitude
of our common friends towards me.
Pointed looks, laughs
and suggestive comments...
Guys and girls both.
Then I found that the topic of
gossip was our intimate moments.
What do you mean,
intimate moments?
Did he...
Did he take any photos...
or videos of you?
I didn't ask him anything or
even speak to him after that.
He must've understood.
Then?
Then what?
It made things clearer to me.
I understood myself better.
That I'm such a poor judge
of character.
That I'm such an idiot whom
any scoundrel can take for a ride.
You are not in that list, okay?
You're a decent guy.
Do you think
he still has that video with him?
Mmm?
I'll be right back.
Anju, shouldn't you get it deleted?
Careful...
- Sir, your bill.
- Ah... Thank you.
Hey...
When did this happen?
7-8 months ago.
Oh, then it...
You think it might've
leaked online?
Oh, you still haven't let it go?
You must be really stressed...
You don't get it, do you?
That's not my problem.
I trusted him... that asshole!
Sorry.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
How about a smoke?
A smoke
is a fine idea.
Come.
Are you still a decent guy?
Nah...
I wasn't so decent before.
And now?
Even less so.
- Any flings?
- Nah.
- Don't lie.
- Honestly, nothing like that.
That means you are decent.
Not having a fling doesn't
make one decent, right?
So you mean you are open to it,
but you don't get a chance.
Not like that.
There are chances.
But...
But?
What can I say?
I'm not...
I'm neither the faithful Lord Ram,
nor the playboy Lord Krishna.
That means...
OK wait wait...
Got it!
You mean...
You don't mind if beauties
come to you and seduce,
but you won't approach them
asking for a chance.
Exactly!
For a guy who is neither
Lord Ram nor Lord Krishna
devoid of any flirting skills,
but is open to being seduced
do you know of any beauties
who may be interested?
Get lost!
Didn't you ask me earlier
whether I missed you?
Did...
Did you... miss me?
The damp clouds slowly part...
...revealing a tender moon
Unknowingly,
we brush against each other...
Embers glow on our robes...
We...
light as feathers in the wind...
Heat that boils water...
A shooting star...
...rushed to kiss
the glowing earth
Friction, quietly
filling the air...
...crushed the rock,
turned it into vapour
Not knowing the depths,
never tasting the ocean...
The damp clouds slowly part...
...revealing a tender moon
Auto!
- This is so illegal!
- Not at all. You're so boring now.
Kumarakovil?
In Tamil Nadu?
Anju, stop kidding.
Kumarapuram. "Puram"...
Get in.
Wait, bro.
Let me get in.
From a party?
Yeah.
From Technopark?
What?
You must be working
at Technopark...
No, at the Taluk office.
Any problem?
Yeah, right.
Yeah bro, I'm the Tehsildar.
Where in Kumarapuram,
did you say?
Bro... When you reach
Kumarapuram Junction...
- There is...
- Yeah, junctions are in plenty.
Let's reach the junction first.
We'll tell you. Go straight for now.
Yeah, right.
My head feels heavy.
Is it a headache?
Water... need water?
Get her some buttermilk.
Bro, can you get me
some beer? Strong...
What all must I endure!
Lord, Save me!
Wait, I'll be back.
Lime is over. I just have
betel leaves and nuts.
Oh... What's this, bro?
- My God, what the hell?
- Anju!
Anju...
My autorickshaw!
Anju...
Anju...
You're okay, right?
Yuck! Made a mess
of my autorikshaw!
Why on earth did I
take such people!
These Technopark ladies
will be the ruin of this place!
Singing rock-a-bye...
...in the warmth of the night,
the breeze drifted past the flower
Eyes fell asleep,
ears fell asleep
Slowly, the earth too
fell asleep...
Slowly, the earth too
fell asleep...
Anju...
Don't shake her like that.
She'll puke again.
What a stench!
I'd just redone the upholstery.
I will clean it.
This is so damn unfair, okay?
What's wrong, mates?
Bro, these two got into
my vehicle pissed drunk.
The girl puked and passed out.
She's stank up and
ruined my vehicle.
Bro, I had just done
new rexine seat covers!
Don't create a scene. I'll fix it.
We'll sort this out.
I had it sanctified for
the Sabarimala pilgrimage.
Who will answer to Lord Ayyappa?
- I'll answer, bro! Hold on.
- Lord, save me!
Uncle, please get me a
water bottle from the shop.
Uncle, please get me some
newspaper and a bottle of water!
Hey, she's blacked out. Don't expect her
to wake up before tomorrow morning.
What did you say your name is?
Why are you asking my name now?
Didn't you make fun of me earlier,
saying you are government officers?
Bro, sorry.
That was the drink talking.
Forgive me.
We need to drop her at her place.
How much will you pay?
Three hundred?
That's not enough.
I want five hundred,
including cleaning charge.
Agreed.
- The name is Sanal.
- OK.
Wipe it well.
- Don't scrape off the rexine.
- OK.
Not moving...
No chance...
Sanal bro, let's go.
- Stock some paan, bro.
- Sure.
Slow... Go slow.
We are almost at
Kumarapuram Junction.
Which way now?
Which way now...
Let me find out.
Find out what?
Don't you know?
Let me find out. One second.
I'll tell you soon.
Where should I drive to?
Wait, I'll try to wake her up.
Anju...
Anju!
If she pukes again,
I won't spare you. I swear.
- Got it?
- Yeah, got it.
- Anju...
- Don't you know where she stays?
What's the deal
between you both?
- Calm down!
- What calm down?
Dear bro, calm down
for God's sake!
She's an old friend.
We're meeting after 7-8 years.
I don't know anything else
for now. Forgive me.
Forgiven.
But, what will we do...
in this night?
Let me think.
Let me think.
Lord, save me!
There he is.
- Anish bro...
- Rajan bro.
- There's a small problem.
- What's it?
I told you that I was stuck at home
and will be late, right?
Truth be told,
it wasn't the truth.
Then?
I went to meet a friend.
We had a couple of drinks together.
Oh, you kept us waiting here
and partied with someone else?
I didn't expect it from you, bro.
Sorry...
She threw up a bit.
She?
Hmm. Yeah...
She was my college mate.
Lives in Delhi these days.
We are meeting for the first time
after leaving college.
She has some personal problems.
She passed out.
I tried to wake her up,
but no luck.
She stays with her friend
in Kumarapuram.
But I don't know this friend's
address or number. So...
Bro, do one thing. Bring her here.
We'll figure out what to do.
Our car's there, right?
Let's take her to my house?
- To your house?
- Yeah.
Does Geethu know about this?
No.
Planning to have baptism and
divorce on the same day?
You've got a point.
Do one thing. Bring her here.
I'll book a room here.
Will have to give her name and address.
Send it to me on WhatsApp.
That's OK.
We're coming in an autorikshaw.
How can we take her from
the autorikshaw to the room?
All that can be managed.
I'm here, right?
You'll have to shell out some cash.
That's all.
Rajan bro, please tell Chanchal
not to leak this to anyone.
He shouldn't know about it at any cost.
He'll spread all sorts of stories.
When we reach there,
won't he come to know?
He won't. You bring her.
I'll manage.
I'll call you when I reach
the hotel. Okay?
Come, turn the vehicle.
Slow... Go slow!
Where are you going, bro?
I'll be right back.
You wait here.
Tell me the matter.
Where are you going?
Dude, my aunt's been admitted to
the General Hospital with wheezing.
Let me go and check.
It's nearby.
- Critical?
- Nah. She often gets it.
- Wait, I'll come with you.
- No, you shouldn't.
Not like that.
See, if we go together
they'll suspect we're
sneaking out for a drink.
If I go alone, I'll make some
excuse and get back in a hurry.
Not only that, Anish bro will come
any time now. You should be here.
So, you fix one more drink.
I'll be back in a jiffy!
Rajan bro...
Stop there.
She's inside.
- Is she awake?
- No, I sprinkled water. No luck.
Good Lord!
The room's ready.
Get in fast...
- Take the vehicle inside.
- Go inside, bro.
- This guy's still here?
- Stop there.
- Where are you barging into?
- Bro, need to drop someone.
Bro, we've booked a room here.
She's not well. So came to drop her.
- Really? What happened?
- Nothing. She's fine.
Here you go...
- OK, go in.
- Come in fast.
There...
Come, get out.
- Shall we?
- All fine. Go ahead.
- How to?
- Pull her by the leg.
Slowly.
Place the leg outside.
Hey!
- Eh?
- My cash...
Here...
That should cover it.
- Left hand?
- Yeah, put it around your shoulder.
Let me push from the other end.
- Anju... Anju!
- Slowly. Careful.
Bag...
Like that, yeah.
Want to call loading workers
from the market?
No need for now.
Some time to joke...
Slowly. Slowly.
The leg got stuck...
Place the leg down.
Yeah, good.
Anju...
Listen, I'm going to
lift you up...
Slowly...
- Her bag?
- Yeah, got it.
Careful!
It's OK.
One more step...
Those guys are staring.
But it's fine. Don't worry.
Oh my!
Nothing...
She just slipped.
What happened, Anju?
You tripped over?
- It's OK.
- Gently raise...
Just hold her and...
Nothing wrong.
- Bro, come here.
- We're at the hotel. It'll be trouble.
Anju...
- Can't give you a room here.
- Eh?
How can you say that? They came
here because you agreed.
I agree. But we didn't know
this was the condition.
This will get us into trouble.
She got drunk and threw up.
That's all!
Let's do one thing.
We'll take her to our room.
- Wait. I'll call the police.
- Hey, no. Don't.
Don't call the police.
The autorickshaw is waiting.
We'll take her somewhere.
No need for the police.
Here, hold this.
Bro, take the vehicle.
This is trouble, bro.
I'm on a pilgrimage vow.
Sanal bro!
Sanal bro, my foot!
I have a home and family!
Will pay you more.
Stop, man!
Rajan bro, what to do now?
Don't worry. I'm here.
We'll take her in our car.
Busted!
The key...-Yeah bro, totally busted!
This must be your wheezing aunt...
Dirty old man!
Here, stuff it up your...
We're leaving.
We'll take her directly home.
Nobody has a problem with that, right?
Bro, get the girl.
I'll bring the car.
Dude, Chanchal...
Come, I'll explain everything.
Anju...
Let's get up.
Anju...
I'm lifting you...
There's a step...
OK. Stay here.
Rajan bro will come now.
He's gone to get the car.
Chanchal, put the legs in.
Help him fast, man!
This guy!
Come, get in.
So this is why you made up
the story about your sick aunt?
You'd planned to get me piss drunk
and have fun with her?
Shut up, you jerk!
Stop your filthy talk.
Calm down, Rajan bro.
We should've told him before.
Sorry, Chanchal.
She's my old friend.
Anish, no need to explain
anything to him.
He's too high to understand.
Drink some water, dammit.
Chanchal... Anish bro had gone
to a college reunion party.
He was forced to go at the
last minute, actually.
I told Anish bro not to tell you
so that it wouldn't spoil your mood.
Oh.
And?
Long story short...
She got drunk and passed out.
Seeing that, all his friends
sneaked away.
And the responsibility to drop her home
fell on Anish bro's shoulders.
After all, he was the
college union chairman...
She was okay till getting into
the autoriskhaw.
She puked and blacked out
soon after. Right, bro?
Yeah, right... right...
You weren't in touch for long?
No.
I don't know her family also.
So, what to do now?
We need to take her
to a safe place.
It'll be the same with any hotel.
It was stupid of us to
take her to Malhar.
They've known me for years.
Didn't expect those buggers
would ditch me like that.
Bro... at this hour of the night,
if an unconscious chick...
I mean...
If an unconscious girl
falls down at your doorstep,
it could give anyone the jitters!
Some shady guys were
near the gate, staring at us.
Will they sniff out something?
Wonder what will happen...
What could happen?
We didn't commit any crime.
Bro! Only we know that, right?
The witness is passed out!
We're done if some cop stops us
to check if we are drunk...
All three are sloshed.
You too had enough, right?
It's very obvious.
If the cops catch us now
they won't be booking us
for just drunk driving.
It will be kidnapping!
Heavy thrashing for sure.
Dude!
What else, Bro!
I'm not bluffing.
Wait, let me show you something.
Got a forward a while back.
Ah, got it.
Listen to this.
"Four men and a girl spend
the whole night in a car."
"This will shock you!"
The link's loading...
Here it is...
"In a state of inerb..."
"Inebriation"
"four men went around the city with
a young model from Venjaramoodu."
"Thampanoor police
has arrested them."
- "The car they drove..."
- Stop it, for heaven's sake!
Fine if you don't want the news.
Let's take her to someone's house.
That's the only way.
Yeah, true.
Your place will be okay, right?
Have you gone mad, bro?
You don't know my dad.
At this hour, he must be piss drunk and
wondering whom to pick a fight with.
Not only that
he's a bit of a pervert too...
Oh, no way!
Not a chance...
Bro, what about your place?
What?
If I take this knocked out girl
through the colony, I'm finished.
The whole locality will know.
And you know the car
won't go till my door.
Oh! Imagine the sight of us
carrying her across the colony...
Wait... I have a cousin.
She's cool. But we'll have to
drive till Kazhakkoottam.
Not a problem.
Oh, I forgot.
They must be driving down
from Bangalore.
They had told me they'd
reach the church directly.
Nobody else?
There's my close friend.
He stays with his parents.
But his folks are pretty chill.
Let me try...
Hello...
Did I wake you up?
Dude...
Oh, when?
Today?
Oh...
Okay.
Nothing...
I called just like that.
Yes.
Okay, then.
I'll drop by.
His grandma died.
Today evening...
Can't take her there now.
True that... They'll have
two bodies to deal with.
Who else...
There's another guy.
He will stand by me, but will
leak the news. Can't trust him.
Ah! No need, bro.
Such guys won't do.
What's it?
Ah, nothing.
There's nobody else I can trust.
I've got only you guys.
Bro...
Geethu knows about
your get together, right?
Yeah.
Problem solved then.
We can take her there. Right?
Hey, his house is full of relatives.
Otherwise, we would have
gone there directly!
Yes. True.
Just think of it, Chanchal.
Us bringing in this passed-out girl
on the eve of the baptism. Oh!
Those women there will
cook up all sorts of stories.
- Won't they?
- Totally.
Anish bro, that old army uncle,
hard of hearing... Has he come?
Yeah, he has reached.
Great! He'll blast
bombs up our asses.
That's a possibility.
I've seen her somewhere.
No way!
How would you see someone who's
been out of Kerala for 78 years?
Not in person.
I think it was in some video.
In a video?
What video?
That's what
I'm trying to recollect.
Let me think.
I'll get it.
Rajan bro, "Amma calling."
Should I pick up?
No! Don't pick up!
What if there's more trouble
if we don't pick up?
What will you tell her?
Missed it.
It's locked again.
Can't call back either.
Why the hell would you call back?
If we get her friend's address,
we can take her there.
What excuse will you give?
"Your daughter had come
to a party last night,"
"and she left her phone there."
"I'll return it to her tomorrow."
"Can you please give her
address, auntie... I mean, Mom?"
That's a nice idea...
That might work, right?
Yeah.
If she calls again,
we are saved...
She'll call...
It's a risk till she wakes up.
Once she wakes up, we're safe.
We have no place to
keep her till then.
See, how God shows us a way...
Kanyakumari... 73 km...
Are you out of your mind, bro?
Going till Kanyakumari?
What else? Take her
to your aunt's house?
I think it's a good idea, Chanchal.
Police on the way is a risk.
But that's more likely in the city, right?
Right!
That's true.
But, they sometimes stop at
the check post. There's a chance...
They won't stop
private vehicles, dude.
But then, given our luck,
anything can happen.
Must've imagined.
Shit, we are done!
Cops!
Wear the seat belt, man.
Nobody talk.
I'll deal with it.
Dude, don't overact.
Anish bro, take her hand
and keep it in your hand.
- What for?!
- Keep it.
Where to?
Sir, slipped and fell down the stairs
getting clothes from the terrace.
Taking to Neyyattinkara
General Hospital now.
My sister...
She's four months pregnant, Sir.
I fear we might lose the baby.
Why make your pregnant wife
do such chores?
Sorry, Sir.
OK. OK.
Get going now.
OK.
That was close.
Right, bro?
What are you, man?
The best actor of Model School?
You are a master at telling lies.
Hey, bro...
When we left the hotel
some losers from the nearby
newspaper office were looking at us.
Will they recognise us
and dig things up?
No worries about us.
What about Anish bro?
True, nobody watches
his show "A Little While"...
But what about his old
news channel shows?
All jobless buggers watch news.
Someone might have spotted you.
Don't scare me, man.
I've already lost it.
I was just giving an option.
You call this an option?
I wonder what'll happen to Anish bro
if this news spreads in the office.
Bro...
Can I tell you another option?
Yeah, tell me.
Shall we give her some buttermilk?
Is your uncle selling
buttermilk at midnight?
Teacher will see.
Leave me, Anish.
Hmm?
Stop it, Anish.
Bro, looks like she's waking up.
Great if she wakes up.
She was blabbering in her sleep.
Don't think she'll wake up any time now.
Anish, the hook will come off.
Gently...
What?!
The hook will break, Anish.
Gently...
She's talking in her sleep.
Anju...
Anju...
Rajan bro, she's blabbering.
Can't understand.
I want to take a leak.
Need to stop somewhere.
Even I want to pee.
Bro...
I knew right from the start that
these two are having an affair.
They hadn't gone to
any reunion or party.
All bogus stories to fool us.
Are we idiots to believe all that?
Bro, can I tell you what happened?
Are you listening?
They've been having
an affair for a while.
What did you say? He's a gem to party
with us on the eve of the baptism, right?
He's no such gem.
He was desperate to meet her.
That's the whole reason.
Using our party as an excuse,
he could fool his wife and get out.
So they met, checked into
some hotel room
shared a couple of drinks,
and did the business.
As he was about to drop her back,
she threw up and passed out.
This is what happened.
Then he could've
just dropped her home.
Get lost, man!
He and his stories...
Why would that be...
Bro, I think it was like...
She can't be taken home
in this condition, right?
She may be married.
At home, she'll have
husband and kids...
No... She won't have kids.
She'll have a hubby, for sure.
She must've given the
excuse of an office party.
If her hubby sees her like this
with him, it'll be trouble, right?
All their lies will fall apart.
What do you say?
You stop making things up.
She muttered something
in her sleep.
Come get into the car.
That's how it is, eh?
Very well.
Where've I seen her before?
Rajan bro, I'll be right back.
Please keep an eye.
Sure.
What is it?
Nothing... Has she acted
in any short film?
Not as far as I know.
Why?
I've seen her somewhere.
I'll get it.
- Rajan bro..
- Hmm?
There's another issue.
If you drink, you'll
want to pee. Right?
So?
We've all peed.
She's had the most.
It should be, right?
That's why she's passed out.
If she was even half awake,
we could've told her to go pee.
That isn't possible now.
If my calculation is correct, she'll
pee all over here any time now.
Just wait.
- Dude, Chanchal...
- Hmm?
If you'd used this intelligence
of yours for something good
our country would've
progressed long ago.
Yeah?
Need to go...
Need to pee...
This is trouble.
There are no fuel stations nearby.
That's bad.
Anju... Just five minutes, okay?
I want to go right now.
Bro...
You pull over the vehicle.
Otherwise she'll ruin the car.
Hey!
Then pull over
somewhere isolated, bro.
Yeah.
Let me try to wake her up.
Splash some water on her face.
Wait, man!
Let me call her.
Anju...
Anju...
Anju, we've stopped the car.
Anju...
It won't work, bro.
Splash some water...
Anju...
Anju, come... Get out.
Anju...
Anju...
Anju...
This isn't going to work.
Put your hand over my shoulder.
Hang on to my shoulders.
The things we have to see!
Bro, you must understand one thing.
I don't cook up any story
without a reason, okay?
Dude, keep quiet
for heaven's sake!
I'm going for a smoke.
Want to join?
No.
Hey, keep this door open!
Bro...
Let's go?
Let's go.
Bro, shall I drive for a while?
What say?
No.
Anju...
He peeped at me.
Eh?
What?!
I didn't peep!
Bro, do you think
I'll ever do that?
Sister, don't lie.
This orange shirt...
But my shirt's yellow!
It's yellow...
Bro, I didn't peep at her.
You understand now?
She's blabbering in her sleep...
When did I...?
Bro, why don't you
say something?
What to say?
You really believe
what this bi...
Sorry
what this lady said?
Bro...
If in her sleep, she can say that
we peeked at her peeing
can you imagine what she might
allege when she gets up?
What's to allege?
A good looking girl...
Went out with him to booze...
When she opens her eyes, it's some
godforsaken place in Tamil Nadu...
That too with two strangers in a car...
If you were there in her place
what would you think?
Tell me, what would you?
What to think?
Whether they've raped me!
Shut up, you scumbag!
You think you can say anything?
I'm here with her..
She knows me so well...
Then will she think
something like that?
See now...
She knows you really well, right?
What did you say earlier?
You haven't met in ten years...
You barely know her, right?
I really want to know...
Tell the truth at least now...
What's your affair with her?
- Affair?
- Yeah, affair...
Rajan bro, pull over.
Stop the car!
Get out.
Get out, I said.
- You've been on it for a while...
- Bro, leave me.
Affair, is it? Even if it is,
what's it to you?
Hey you!
Nothing...
Just admit it.
See now.
In the morning you were geeking out
with that moustached Hulk Hogan, right?
"Family is antisocial...
it's a jailer..."
Now when it comes to people
knowing about this, you're terrified?
A man should have a spine.
Why don't you own up to it?
You think I don't own up because
I'm scared of you, scumbag?
Say whatever you want to anyone.
I don't give a damn!
- Shall I?
- Yeah.
- Tell anyone?
- Yeah, tell.
- What if I tell Geethu?
- Hey, stop it.
You stay out!
Shall I tell her?
He's just a show-off!
Aren't you ashamed to
back him up like this?
Hey you...
Listen carefully.
It's not some random affair.
I love her.
Get it?
Love her like crazy.
Here's Geethu.
Tell her.
- Go ahead.
- Yeah, I will.
- Give me the phone.
- He dared me to.
Hello...
Don't act smart!
- Hello.
- Ah, Geethu...
Rajan here.-Where's Anish?
He just went to the bathroom.
I had asked him to call.
Need any extra cars tomorrow?
You called at this hour
to ask that?
I didn't check the time.
Sorry...
So I'll arrange everything.
OK then.
Here.
Please don't create issues.
I'm telling you both.
Get in the car.
Hey, you come here.
Anish came to with us an issue
like this because he trusts us.
You shouldn't destroy that trust.
After all, we are colleagues, right?
We owe him our livelihood.
Keep that in mind.
Think of how long we
have to work together...
Don't let it simmer.
Get in the car.
Get in the car!
Bro...
I'm sorry.
It's OK.
Leave it.
Like the moonlight blending
with the frothing waves at night...
Like a dream that fades at dawn,
you have come unannounced
This moment when
the rain thins to a drizzle...
While we dim the lights
and hold hands...
Savouring with eager lips,
we're chalices of love to each other
Here?!
Bro, park in that dark corner there.
What's wrong with you?
We'll park here,
right under this lamp...
Know why?
So that no one doubts us...
Bro... you really are sharp!
Then let me try to catch a wink.
Dear...
A driver should just look at
the road ahead and drive.
There's no need to poke
his nose into anything else.
But in light of the extra years
I've lived, let me tell you
This game is dangerous.
Bro, you are not my driver...
You are my elder brother.
I didn't say all that
just to stir up Chanchal.
In college, we were in love.
Madly in love.
Had planned to get married.
Then things got complicated.
We are meeting after
eight years, that's true.
In eight years,
we both changed a lot.
My ego and ignorance
have come down.
She started drinking.
But I really love her.
She loves me too.
That hasn't changed.
What about Geethu?
Anyway, she's going back to Delhi.
And from there to the US.
So, there is no scope for
the danger you mentioned.
Let it end forever like this.
Will it?
I don't know the damn right,
wrong or danger of it, bro...
Good morning.
Good morning?
Where's this?
Where's this?
Kanyakumari!
How did we reach here?
I passed out yesterday, right?
But, how did we end up here?
There was no safe place
to take you to...
So thought of taking a long drive.
Shit!
It was a lot of trouble, right?
Hey, no problem.
Shit happens, right?
I'm used to it.
But, that's not
the real question.
What do you remember?
We were at that rooftop...
I bored you to death
with my sob story...
We shared a cigarette...
Elevator...
We walked in the middle of the road.
Auto...
We really annoyed him.
He went out to buy paan...
Then?
Remember anything else?
What the hell?
- Sorry, Sir.
- What sorry?
Damn kid!
Ruined my sleep...
What to do?
Eh! Hey Chanchal...
Hey, wake up.
It's morning.
Look, they both aren't here.
God, where have they gone?
They must've gone to
the Vivekananda Rock.
- You sleep.
- Hey, get out of the car. Out!
Let's search.
Get out!
- Try his number.
- That's what I'm doing.
- It's switched off.
- Switched off?
- Come on. Let's go search.
- Which way to go?
- This way. Come.
- Why not this way?
That's the sea!
Come this way.
Sea, is it?
We never had a formal breakup...
We had a tiff...
Then stopped talking...
Not even a decent goodbye...
Even a slap from you
would've been a relief.
We're in a good place now, right?
Your emotional scars are healed?
Where to search?
- What if they've eloped?
- Shut up.
Perhaps they went
to take a leak again.
Possible...
They were that drunk, right?
Hey you!
Come along. I can't go
searching for you now.
Hey...
Ya?
While we are at it,
shall I ask something?
What?
If you hadn't passed out yesterday...
If so?
What would've happened?
Get lost!
You said you missed a slap, right?
Shall I make up for it?
Hey, don't just sit there.
Let's go search.
I can't. Let them come
when they want.
Why are you so...-Here are our guys.
- Rajan bro...
- Ah!
Where were you?
We searched everywhere...
This is Rajan bro,
this is Chanchal.
Hi.
They are the ones who brought you
in one piece across the border.
- I know it was a real trouble.
- No trouble at all...
Wonder what they would
have thought about me.
What would we think...
Honestly, it's the first time
I've passed out like this...
First time, really?
That's too bad!
- So, shall we leave?
- Yes, sure.
- Saw enough of Kanyakumari?
- More than enough.
Without touching the shore,
we saw the sea from afar
Without touching the flower,
sipped nectar
Without laying on the tongue,
felt the bitterness of pain
Together we sat
on the burning sands
Leaving behind the shadow,
the body walked away
Before blooming,
the flower wilted
Before the rains,
the root dried up
Even under the umbrella,
they got soaked
- Come, have some tea.
- Oh, no need.
Today is his baptism.
I mean, his baby's...
It's like my baptism...
I almost died last night.
Ah... now I got it!
Bro, didn't I tell you
I've seen her somewhere?
Bro, that Malayali actress
in some Hindi web series...
- Looks like her.
- Ah, I've been told.
Is it?
Thanks a lot, really...
I've really put you through
a lot of trouble.
Hey, that's OK.
Not an issue.
See you then.
See you.
Anish!
Didn't you forget something?
Eh?
Don't pass out on the US flight
drinking all that free booze!
Bye.
In the sweet twilight,
we stood in dismay
The sunlight left by the sky
on the paths also fades slowly
Crossing the vast ocean of sorrow,
you are leaving...
Crossing the vast ocean of sorrow,
you are leaving...
The silver moon we scooped up
carefully into our palms...
...drains into the dark,
as the slender fingers slightly part
Into this lake the moonlight seeps,
spreading fragrance
On that serene lake
we rained down alone...
Crossing the vast ocean of sorrow,
you are leaving...
Even if you go far away...
In the garden
of my imagination...
In all the paths you take
I will be waiting, as a cloud
I will be the drops that scatter,
falling on the strands of your hair
I will be those wet caresses
dripping down your forehead
Crossing the vast ocean of sorrow,
you are leaving...
Crossing the vast ocean of sorrow...
You... are leaving
In my room, at times
damp rancid shadows billow
When seasons change,
we appear on the walls
Even after farewell hugs,
travellers who can't part...
Forget the distance...
Time marches on...
Burdens fall off...
And thus in an invisible web,
the lovers remain trapped...
...and forever stay
Forget the distance...
Time marches on...
Burdens fall off...
The lovers remain trapped...
Forget the distance...
Time marches on...
Burdens fall off...
The lovers remain trapped...
Forget the distance...
Time marches on...
Burdens fall off...
The lovers remain trapped...
were hierarchical.
Once they were meant to
teach obedience.
But in a democratic society,
relationships are based on mutual respect.
Individuals should be shaped
to respect each other.
In modern society,
individuals choose each other.
In the past, it was families,
religion and caste...
Today individuals evolve
apart from all this.
A relationship actually
involves finding a mate.
There, love begins. One discovers a partner
and wishes to start a life with them.
In these times, applying the old
logic of marriage and
conditioning people in that way to
find mates should be considered a mistake.
Maithreyan, you often say
that the institution of family
interferes with personal
liberty like a jailer...
Families actually teach us
to create the "other"
keep them away
and hate them.
This involves...
Houses have fences,
then walls within them
going inside is
like going into a jail.
They are factories
supplying society with
humans trained to live
without personal liberty.
If you look closely, each house
is an antisocial establishment.
A modern society should
rebuild this structure.
Thanks a lot, Maithreyan.
For spending 'A little while' with us.
- It was a pleasure.
- Likewise.
We'll be back to spend 'A Little While'
with another guest next week.
We'll be back to spend
'Femina Sarees & Kurissery Jewellery
A Little While'
with another guest next week.
'A LITTLE WHILE'
Bro, what's the plan?
Plan... You and Rajan bro
will arrange everything.
I'll just quickly pop in
at home and come over.
- Where's the room?
- Our usual place. At Aristo Junction.
By the time you check in,
I'll make a landing.
Okay!
Hey, don't expect me to
interview this guy, OK?
I was also against
having this moron.
But the boss insisted...
- Anish!
- Yeah?
One second.
You go ahead.
I'll come.
- All the best!
- Thanks!
Don't look that way.
That ogler is there, as usual.
Hey!
Bro, trouble?
- Nah.
- Just nagging?
Yeah, his usual.
I'll be off.
You go get the stuff.
Bro, sides too?
- Yeah, buy.
- Cool...
How about some chicken or beef?
Not just any chicken or beef...
It has to be from Hotel Taj.
Three beef fry and
liver fry as sides.
Chicken fry for dinner,
and plenty of parotta.
Nice enough!
On the way, get some
banana fritters too
to have with the beef.
Heavenly, bro! Heavenly...
- I'm off then. Call Rajan bro.
- Sure, will do.
Hello...
Hello...
Where are you, bro?
Hey, I have two drops.
I'll come straight to Aristo.
Where's Anish bro?
He'll reach there.
You come soon.
Dude, will you buy the sides?
I'll take care of it.
What booze?
Let me go and check, bro.
It's been ages since we
got sloshed in a hotel room.
First you reach there and
arrange everything, bro.
We'll have a blast today!
Alright.
And hey, buy half a kilo
of banana and my cigarettes.
You know which banana to buy?
The small yellow one, right?
Gosh!
Good thing I asked.
Don't you remember? I usually
munch on the red banana, right?
You know, the big fat one.
It'll make the morning dump
glide out smoothly...
If I have the yellow ones,
I'll be screwed with constipation.
I've got piles, dude...
OK, then.
Oh no!
Life's tough, eh?
True.
Sorry!
By the window of my room,
on the slender clothesline...
...the dress you once left to dry...
...still hangs there; Blocking the sun,
casting a shadow...
Light hesitates halfway;
Reluctant to enter...
Hangs there; Blocking the sun,
casting a shadow...
Light hesitates halfway;
Reluctant to enter...
By the window of my room,

The leaves that fall in each shade
are fondly picked away by the breeze
Fondly picked away
by the breeze...
The leaves that fall in each shade

Likewise that still moist memory of me,
you must fold away with oblivion...
You must fold away
with oblivion...
You must fold away
with oblivion...
- I'd booked a room.
- Your name, Sir?
- Rajan! Don't you know?
- Rajan, yeah...
- Just the sign, right?
- Yeah.
My name and address
are already here.
Okay, then!
A LITTLE WHILE
Hey...
You'll manage it alone here, no?
I could've avoided it.
But I had promised them.
I'll be back by 8:30.
Everything ready for tomorrow?
What's left?
Johny will take care of
the church stuff.
The dress, crown and candle
are in there, right?
Then the transport...
Rajan bro will take care of it.
- Tell me, Chanchal.
- Bro, I'm at the liquor store.
- What should I get?
- What all are there?
Well, all the brands
in the world are here.
You like rum, right?
I'll get that?
That's OK.
Get what you like.
Really?
In that case,
what about whiskey?
Go ahead.
What's your budget?
Around a thousand five...
Two thousand five...
Three thousand five...
Three thousand.
Three thousand, it is.
That won't be enough for a single malt.
Will look for some blend.
Your choice.
There goes that dream...
Just three of you, right?
With four pegs each...
Isn't it a bit much?
Keep a count.
Before the third ice cube
falls on the fourth peg
Lord Anish will be here.
All hail his...
Praise the Lord.
Bro, cash...
Broke... ass.
'Bottle+Sides'
Coming...
- Dude, you are here!
- What took you so long, bro?
Got all the stuff?
What else is this?
Parotta, liver fry,
chicken fry, beef fry
banana fritters,
your red banana.
- Then cigarettes and Bombay mix.
- Bombay mix? For what?
I have cravings too, bro!
- Hey, you got the bottle?
- Of course!
Take it out...
Quick!
What a beauty!
B A I L...
Brushing up your alphabets?
Balan?
What's this stuff?
Bro, it's damn smooth.
Sip it with your eyes closed,
it'll taste better than single malt.
Half the price too.
Goosebumps, bro! Goosebumps!
Is it? Why didn't you
try for single malt?
I didn't want to ask.
Actually, that's good.
It's not about paying for the drinks.
He had the heart to come drink with us
on the eve of his child's baptism.
That's love!
Love, it seems! He was also
dying for a drink, just like us.
You won't get it
Hey Jibin...
Hello...
- Ah, when did you reach, uncle?
- Just now, dear.
- Brother!
- Yes!
You didn't say you are coming!
Do cops announce their arrival?
Where are you off to, Ani?
- I have a shoot.
- Today?
You are always busy...
Looks like your 'A Little While'
has become a long while.
Annie, come in.
I'll be off, then.
- Will you come for the baptism at least?
- Yes, for sure.
Ani, aren't you taking
your bike?
Come here, brother.
To tell you the truth,
there is no shoot.
There are two pals from the office.
I couldn't treat them for my wedding.
The circumstances were such, right?
They've helped me a lot.
It gets hectic from tomorrow onwards.
So thought of finishing this off.
Also, I suspect an overdose of
Hindu-Christian camaraderie here today.
True that.
Wait, why don't you come too?
Quickly have a round and return.
Crazy or what? If your sister
comes to know, she'll turn violent.
Also, I have night patrol.
OK then, I'll quickly have
a round and return.
- Hey!
- Yes!
Don't tell her about this, OK?
If she comes to know,
my head will be the first to roll.
OK, then.
Hello...
Anish, this is Anjana.
Oh... Anjana.
How are you?
Good.
How are you, Anjana?
Good.
Busy?
No no... I'm out to
see some friends.
Oh... is it?
Then I'll call later.
Not an issue.
I can talk now.
Ah...
I'm actually in Trivandrum now.
Oh, in Thiruvananthapuram?
Yeah, came to the Corporation office
for some work.
It's been a couple of days.
Will return to Delhi tomorrow morning.
Oh.
Thought not to call you.
I'm going to the US this Sunday
for my post-doctoral.
Shock after shock!
Not sure when I'll return.
So just called you.
Where are you right now?
I'm at the public library.
A dose of... nostalgia.
Anything up for the evening?
Nothing specific.
I'm staying with a friend.
Need to go there. That's it.
Shall we meet?
Now?
Yeah, now.
I'm not sure, Anish.
Wait right there.
I'll come now.
Let's meet briefly.
Then you can leave, OK?
OK?
OK.
See you.
See you.
Bro, let's go to
the Public Library.
Keep the change.
What's left to keep?
Eh... how come... here?
Eh.. How come... where?
Was I late?
No... not an issue.
Traffic...
A lot these days...
Quite true.
Beard looks nice...
Suits you.
Thanks.
You look great too, Anjana.
Clean shave suits you.
Do we need to stand here and talk?
There's a cafe nearby
that I know.
To spend "a little while", right?
- Parents still in Dubai?
- Yeah.
Doing good?
Yeah.
In touch with any of
our old friends?
No.
What a beauty!
- Bro...
- Yeah?
Isn't it time
Anish bro got here?
Wonder what's up...
Any trouble at home?
His wife would've made an issue?
No way.
She's quite understanding.
Some relatives, maybe?
He really has lots of expenses.
First, the Hindu naming ceremony.
Now baptism...
As Onam gets over,
comes Christmas.
Sankranti, church feast...
Gosh! Never-ending expenses...
No wonder the elders advise
not to marry out of religion, right?
It's going to rain.
Hey, just call him and check.
- Should I?
- Yeah.
Oh, just miss!
He isn't picking up.
Try again after five minutes.
What to do...
Oh, what to...
Where's my lighter?
Did you take my lighter?
Your lighter...
Here it is.
Can't catch it like
the old days, eh?
Today I'm going to
drink till I drop, bro!
Yeah, feel free to.
I will.
I will...
- Shall we go there?
- Eh, where?
See, there.
- Over there?
- OK.
Let me just text my friends
that I'll be late.
'...even if the eyes are
not red, but just droopy...'
'...it can be a symptom
of cannabis use.'
'Excessive appetite and sometimes
a craving for sweets is observed.'
'Stomach upset is also seen...'
Should've bought some
sweets as sides too.
Glutton!
Touch my red bananas
and I'll kill you.
You eat your red banana.
I don't want it.
Stake...
Stick..
Stock at home...
You...
Shut... start...
I'll come...
Seven two dots three zero...
Give it to me!
'Stuck at home. You start.
I'll be there by 7:30.'
Here!
Married with two kids, now she
plans to elope with another man.
Such a slut...
Filthy whore!
You've nothing to say?
Let's order juice?
Don't make me look silly, Anish!
Order a drink.
Eh...
- You kidding?
- Seriously!
Any problem?
No. No problem.
When did you start drinking?
You call the guy.
Brother!
Get me rum.
You?
Me too.
With soda or cola?
Cola for me.
You?
Just water.
And, any snacks?
- Snacks...
- Peanut masala for snacks.
Fine?
Get some pickle too.
Pickle will come along with it.
So, two rum 60 ml,
one cola, peanut. OK?
Let me use the restroom.
Hey, you feel hot
under the air conditioner?
Yeah, bro.
Wish I could get an ice cream...
Please tell Anish bro to buy
ice cream when he comes.
Dark chocolate.
Fudge is also fine.
It's bad to trouble him.
Let's try room service.
Here's the menu.
Hey, know why I call him "Anish bro"
with respect even if he's younger?
The day I met him, he told me to
call him by his name and not 'Sir'.
He's a gem.
Real gem!
Also, wasn't it us who stood
by them for their wedding?
Remember how everyone opposed it?
See how happy they are now!
All the relatives are happy too.
They are what you call
an ideal couple!
That's all fine...
But he's no gem as you say.
Why?
Was he on my side when
I needed him the most?
In that incident...
When you were caught
watching porn in office?
Bro...
Right.
I watched porn.
Still he could've stood by me.
That rascal Manoj interfered,
and it became a mess.
I felt really isolated...
Do you still do that?
No. Not at all.
I've completely stopped watching
porn on the office computer.
Now only on the phone.
I've put on weight, right?
No...
I didn't notice.
Of course you did.
I've put on a wee bit,
haven't I?
It's been six or
seven years, Anjana...
For a girl in her late twenties...
I mean, for a person
it's natural to be fatter than
their early twenties, right?
Are you fat shaming me?
No. I was just pointing out
a scientific fact.
How do you know it's scientific?
OK...
I was pointing out
a commonsensical fact.
There's nothing called
a "commonsensical fact".
It's either common sense or fact.
This is the problem when you study
a pseudoscience like Political Science.
What?
Nothing.
No, why did you laugh?
You are still the same...
Same pain in the ass, right?
The same thorn stuck in the ass.
Yeah, just like that.
Loosen up a bit.
By the way, you're also the same!
Nicely dodged...
- Dodged what?
- My question!
You didn't answer me.
Am I a fat tie?
Oh my... how is this fat?
Anyway, when did you start
worrying about your looks?
Am I a fat tie or not?
Okay...
Instead of Negro, now we say
"person of colour", right?
Mmm?
Similarly, instead of fat tie,
we can say "person of spare tire".
You... rascal!
What else! After all this while,
is this what you ask?
The downfall of
a revolutionary leader!
I saw how you looked
at me earlier. So I asked.
I'm not asking you if I'm fat.
I'm asking you if you missed me.
I missed you.
Missed you a lot.
See that baldie
in the orange shirt?
Hmm?
When I went to the restroom,
he was sneaking around.
But no need to rough him up, OK?
Will spare him for now, right?
Cheers, then...
To America?
To the good old days.
'Bro-in-Law Jibin'
'currently unavailable'.
To my wife and kids,
I'm still a hard-core communist.
Even after college you were with
the party for a while, right?
Oh, I left it long ago.
All that wasted sloganeering
and back-breaking protests!
I'm still a true communist.
I'm not fickle like you.
Inside the campus, you can
afford such high ideals.
If you carry all that into
the real world, you're done.
I know that!
That's why I keep studying.
When you say "wife and kids"...
You have kids already?
One daughter.
Name is Daya.
- Tomorrow is her baptism.
- Really?
You rascal!
And you're here?
That's okay. I was anyway
going to another booze party.
Your wife is truly lucky to have
such a responsible husband!
I had come to know about
your marriage back then.
I'm not active on social media lately,
so I've missed the latest developments.
But I sometimes listen to
your "A Little While" episodes.
And some of the old channel shows too.
So you stalk me, eh?
Naughty girl...
Come on... It's just that
you don't get a chance.
If I had been on Facebook,
we would've seen.
Hey, it's not necessary to be
on Facebook to stalk.
I might be the top visitor of IIT Delhi's
Physics doctoral program page.
What's the...
What's the topic of
your research thesis?
Really?
Hey, I too know some physics.
Bring it on...
Efficient quantum memory of orbital
angular momentum qubits in cold atoms.
Oh... my...
Shouldn't have!
So, let's repeat the order?
Really?
- If you're in a hurry to leave...
- Hey no! I'm in no hurry.
Who's it?
Celebrity!
Hey, try calling him once again.
Hey!
I said, call him!
At work, those losers just care about
YouTube views and listener count.
Can't blame them.
The public has no interest in the truth.
Some titillation, a few cheap thrills,
throw bits of fact in between...
That's how it goes.
And how does that make you feel?
Ah!
No way I'm going to chat up
some viral chick of the week.
You have some spine left, I see.
You've been needling me
for a while...
What was it?
"Nicely dodged"
"fickle"
"spineless"...
What are you trying to say?
Don't you know?
Know what?
I don't know anything.
Leave it then.
Let's not go there.
I'll wait outside.
The relatives are all sweet.
Nothing like I feared...
What's it, Mom?
All his comings and goings at
odd hours, supposedly for work...
Even on the eve of such
an occasion, why isn't he here?
Don't you also hear stories
about film and media guys?
Anish isn't like that.
You leave.
Dad's waiting.
I'm going for a smoke.
Oh, you smoke too?
Go ahead, judge away!
- No... Not like that...
- Then, what's it like?
Like "Oh my nonsmoker teetotaller friend,
have you now started drinking and smoking?"
Not like "Being a woman
why do you smoke and drink?"
Yeah, right.
Just saying, don't damage your
beautiful innards. That's all.
So, how goes your love life?
Was active.
Not anymore.
What happened?
There was someone.
We broke up.
Hmm.
Parents not keen on
marrying you off?
They are keen.
I should also be, right?
I'll be off to the US soon.
Then they'll have a tough time.
Never felt like settling down?
Mmm?
Emotional scars...
Damn, not again.
Am I responsible for
your emotional scars?
You did it to yourself, right?
Me?
What did I do?
You weren't ready to marry
and wanted to study.
Who said that first?
You, right?
I didn't say I wanted to study.
I said I wanted a job
and get settled.
Ask any guy to marry at 21,
he will panic.
Otherwise, he should be the son of
some builder or a liquor baron.
You guys will still panic.
The problem with your lot is
not the lack of money or job.
It's commitment phobia.
The insecurity that becoming
a slave to one woman
will hinder your chances
of impregnating others.
So the plan was to
make me a slave?
What a narrow escape!
You were always good at evasion.
Now you've become an expert.
This is my point.
At 21, when I was ready
to commit, you weren't.
And I went through a heartbreak
and left for Delhi.
Then when you were ready at 24,
I had lost all hope.
I just wanted to study.
Obviously I asked you
for more time.
Didn't I need more time
to make up my mind?
You got angry, dumped me,
married the first girl you met
had a kid and now
it's her baptism.
Isn't that the summary
of this lousy story?
Do you have a different opinion?
- Do you?
- No.
Then let's just settle
the bill and leave.
You said you skipped lunch.
- Should we order something?
- No, I'm good.
My friend has cooked biriyani.
Need to eat that.
- Where does she live?
- Kumarapuram.
I'll drop you there
in an autorikshaw.
Won't you be late?
You leave, Anish.
Hey, that's OK.
I'll pay.
Anjana...
Bye, Anish.
Auto!
Are you upset about what I said?
Not at all.
It's fine.
Auto...
- Will you go to Kumarapuram?
- Yeah.
Come...
Drop me there and go.
You still come to the public library?
Never...
Who needs it these days?
Remember,
in the reference section
the sweeper lady
catching us red-handed?
Hmm.
Hanuman Temple is
this way, right?
Yeah yeah...
At the parking lot,
inside your pappa's old car...
Hmm.
- Is it still there?
- Yeah, sure!
I've kept it as a memorial
of our failed romance.
Sold it for scrap long ago.
In the double-Decker bus...
If you go on, we've been up to
mischief at every spot in the city
except the Palayam Market.
Come on!
As if we...
All this hype for just some
fondling and kissing...
You've no idea how stressed
I was, even for that...
My God!
Wasn't there a shopping centre
near our college
where you often used to
go ogle at girls?
Kedaram - the paradise of oglers.
Yes.
You still drink Sharjah milkshake
and ogle at girls?
No way!
These days, I go to a
rooftop restobar nearby.
A nice joint. Not very crowded.
You get a full city view from there.
I sit there alone, with a beer.
Really alone, you know!
And look at the city lights.
These days, that's my main
chill-out activity in life.
Poor thing!
Are you sad to drink alone?
Yeah.
Need company?
Now?
Is it too late?
No, it's okay.
I have permission
to get home late.
Oh, but Chanchal and Rajan bro
will feel bad if I reach late.
It's okay.
They'll drink and curl up there.
Will it be a problem
if you're late, Anju?
Not at all.
Am I like you?
I'm a free bird.
Bro, turn the auto.
Let's go to Statue Junction.
- Don't want to go to Kumarapuram?
- No, bro.
Come.
See you.
- Are we late?
- Nah, this is the time.
I never thought you'd
become such a hard drinker.
This is nothing.
You should've stuck to rum.
It's better not to mix drinks.
Heard the saying, "don't mix drinks,
and never during the day..."?
Bullshit. The whole cocktail industry
is based on mixing different alcohols.
I can hold my drink.
Okay.
You should've had
some dinner at least.
Why drink on an empty stomach?
Not a problem at all.
Who's that?
Another fan?
Still have this ringtone?
- Hello.
- Hello.
Yes, Sir.
Tell me.
Hey, one minute.
Four beers, right?
Okay, Sir.
Room number?
Okay, Sir.
'Will you be late?'
When I heard that ringtone...
Let's move to that table?
Let's go.
Was the call from home?
No.
It was Rumaiza.
My friend in Kumarapuram...
She works night shifts.
Called to say she has kept
the key in a flower pot.
So, you're alone there tonight?
Yes.
Sir, any last order?
One more rum.
You know what, make it two.
Two rums.
'Rajan and Chanchal
not letting me leave.'
'I'll reach early morning'
Anju...
Is what you said earlier really
the summary of our story?
I've often felt that...
I could've avoided all this mess
if only I knew how to talk openly.
Now I feel, we could've sorted all
our issues over a drink like this.
Right?
How's Geethu?
After we grew apart, I was...
I felt like I had lost
an organ or something.
I was losing my mind.
Anger towards you...
Anger towards parents...
Anger towards the society,
anger towards the job...
As Amitabh Bachchan says...
"Against the whole system!"
Anger overload.
Two years went by like that.
I met Geethu after that.
We did not have
a dating phase as such.
It was a quick decision
to get married.
I felt I'd lose it otherwise.
In fact, marriage was
a replacement therapy.
That's how things panned out.
Are you both happy?
Geethu's really cool.
She cares for me a lot.
I too care for her.
But...
But?
There's something missing.
You asked me about my
love life earlier, right?
I told you I was emotionally scarred.
It wasn't about you.
Then?
For a long while,
I couldn't move on.
Then there was...
someone else.
Recently.
And then?
It ended badly.
Badly, how?
What happened?
What happened is...
I was really into him...
I thought it was
the same with him.
Things were going really good
for about a year.
Then...
Suddenly one day
there was a change in the attitude
of our common friends towards me.
Pointed looks, laughs
and suggestive comments...
Guys and girls both.
Then I found that the topic of
gossip was our intimate moments.
What do you mean,
intimate moments?
Did he...
Did he take any photos...
or videos of you?
I didn't ask him anything or
even speak to him after that.
He must've understood.
Then?
Then what?
It made things clearer to me.
I understood myself better.
That I'm such a poor judge
of character.
That I'm such an idiot whom
any scoundrel can take for a ride.
You are not in that list, okay?
You're a decent guy.
Do you think
he still has that video with him?
Mmm?
I'll be right back.
Anju, shouldn't you get it deleted?
Careful...
- Sir, your bill.
- Ah... Thank you.
Hey...
When did this happen?
7-8 months ago.
Oh, then it...
You think it might've
leaked online?
Oh, you still haven't let it go?
You must be really stressed...
You don't get it, do you?
That's not my problem.
I trusted him... that asshole!
Sorry.
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
How about a smoke?
A smoke
is a fine idea.
Come.
Are you still a decent guy?
Nah...
I wasn't so decent before.
And now?
Even less so.
- Any flings?
- Nah.
- Don't lie.
- Honestly, nothing like that.
That means you are decent.
Not having a fling doesn't
make one decent, right?
So you mean you are open to it,
but you don't get a chance.
Not like that.
There are chances.
But...
But?
What can I say?
I'm not...
I'm neither the faithful Lord Ram,
nor the playboy Lord Krishna.
That means...
OK wait wait...
Got it!
You mean...
You don't mind if beauties
come to you and seduce,
but you won't approach them
asking for a chance.
Exactly!
For a guy who is neither
Lord Ram nor Lord Krishna
devoid of any flirting skills,
but is open to being seduced
do you know of any beauties
who may be interested?
Get lost!
Didn't you ask me earlier
whether I missed you?
Did...
Did you... miss me?
The damp clouds slowly part...
...revealing a tender moon
Unknowingly,
we brush against each other...
Embers glow on our robes...
We...
light as feathers in the wind...
Heat that boils water...
A shooting star...
...rushed to kiss
the glowing earth
Friction, quietly
filling the air...
...crushed the rock,
turned it into vapour
Not knowing the depths,
never tasting the ocean...
The damp clouds slowly part...
...revealing a tender moon
Auto!
- This is so illegal!
- Not at all. You're so boring now.
Kumarakovil?
In Tamil Nadu?
Anju, stop kidding.
Kumarapuram. "Puram"...
Get in.
Wait, bro.
Let me get in.
From a party?
Yeah.
From Technopark?
What?
You must be working
at Technopark...
No, at the Taluk office.
Any problem?
Yeah, right.
Yeah bro, I'm the Tehsildar.
Where in Kumarapuram,
did you say?
Bro... When you reach
Kumarapuram Junction...
- There is...
- Yeah, junctions are in plenty.
Let's reach the junction first.
We'll tell you. Go straight for now.
Yeah, right.
My head feels heavy.
Is it a headache?
Water... need water?
Get her some buttermilk.
Bro, can you get me
some beer? Strong...
What all must I endure!
Lord, Save me!
Wait, I'll be back.
Lime is over. I just have
betel leaves and nuts.
Oh... What's this, bro?
- My God, what the hell?
- Anju!
Anju...
My autorickshaw!
Anju...
Anju...
You're okay, right?
Yuck! Made a mess
of my autorikshaw!
Why on earth did I
take such people!
These Technopark ladies
will be the ruin of this place!
Singing rock-a-bye...
...in the warmth of the night,
the breeze drifted past the flower
Eyes fell asleep,
ears fell asleep
Slowly, the earth too
fell asleep...
Slowly, the earth too
fell asleep...
Anju...
Don't shake her like that.
She'll puke again.
What a stench!
I'd just redone the upholstery.
I will clean it.
This is so damn unfair, okay?
What's wrong, mates?
Bro, these two got into
my vehicle pissed drunk.
The girl puked and passed out.
She's stank up and
ruined my vehicle.
Bro, I had just done
new rexine seat covers!
Don't create a scene. I'll fix it.
We'll sort this out.
I had it sanctified for
the Sabarimala pilgrimage.
Who will answer to Lord Ayyappa?
- I'll answer, bro! Hold on.
- Lord, save me!
Uncle, please get me a
water bottle from the shop.
Uncle, please get me some
newspaper and a bottle of water!
Hey, she's blacked out. Don't expect her
to wake up before tomorrow morning.
What did you say your name is?
Why are you asking my name now?
Didn't you make fun of me earlier,
saying you are government officers?
Bro, sorry.
That was the drink talking.
Forgive me.
We need to drop her at her place.
How much will you pay?
Three hundred?
That's not enough.
I want five hundred,
including cleaning charge.
Agreed.
- The name is Sanal.
- OK.
Wipe it well.
- Don't scrape off the rexine.
- OK.
Not moving...
No chance...
Sanal bro, let's go.
- Stock some paan, bro.
- Sure.
Slow... Go slow.
We are almost at
Kumarapuram Junction.
Which way now?
Which way now...
Let me find out.
Find out what?
Don't you know?
Let me find out. One second.
I'll tell you soon.
Where should I drive to?
Wait, I'll try to wake her up.
Anju...
Anju!
If she pukes again,
I won't spare you. I swear.
- Got it?
- Yeah, got it.
- Anju...
- Don't you know where she stays?
What's the deal
between you both?
- Calm down!
- What calm down?
Dear bro, calm down
for God's sake!
She's an old friend.
We're meeting after 7-8 years.
I don't know anything else
for now. Forgive me.
Forgiven.
But, what will we do...
in this night?
Let me think.
Let me think.
Lord, save me!
There he is.
- Anish bro...
- Rajan bro.
- There's a small problem.
- What's it?
I told you that I was stuck at home
and will be late, right?
Truth be told,
it wasn't the truth.
Then?
I went to meet a friend.
We had a couple of drinks together.
Oh, you kept us waiting here
and partied with someone else?
I didn't expect it from you, bro.
Sorry...
She threw up a bit.
She?
Hmm. Yeah...
She was my college mate.
Lives in Delhi these days.
We are meeting for the first time
after leaving college.
She has some personal problems.
She passed out.
I tried to wake her up,
but no luck.
She stays with her friend
in Kumarapuram.
But I don't know this friend's
address or number. So...
Bro, do one thing. Bring her here.
We'll figure out what to do.
Our car's there, right?
Let's take her to my house?
- To your house?
- Yeah.
Does Geethu know about this?
No.
Planning to have baptism and
divorce on the same day?
You've got a point.
Do one thing. Bring her here.
I'll book a room here.
Will have to give her name and address.
Send it to me on WhatsApp.
That's OK.
We're coming in an autorikshaw.
How can we take her from
the autorikshaw to the room?
All that can be managed.
I'm here, right?
You'll have to shell out some cash.
That's all.
Rajan bro, please tell Chanchal
not to leak this to anyone.
He shouldn't know about it at any cost.
He'll spread all sorts of stories.
When we reach there,
won't he come to know?
He won't. You bring her.
I'll manage.
I'll call you when I reach
the hotel. Okay?
Come, turn the vehicle.
Slow... Go slow!
Where are you going, bro?
I'll be right back.
You wait here.
Tell me the matter.
Where are you going?
Dude, my aunt's been admitted to
the General Hospital with wheezing.
Let me go and check.
It's nearby.
- Critical?
- Nah. She often gets it.
- Wait, I'll come with you.
- No, you shouldn't.
Not like that.
See, if we go together
they'll suspect we're
sneaking out for a drink.
If I go alone, I'll make some
excuse and get back in a hurry.
Not only that, Anish bro will come
any time now. You should be here.
So, you fix one more drink.
I'll be back in a jiffy!
Rajan bro...
Stop there.
She's inside.
- Is she awake?
- No, I sprinkled water. No luck.
Good Lord!
The room's ready.
Get in fast...
- Take the vehicle inside.
- Go inside, bro.
- This guy's still here?
- Stop there.
- Where are you barging into?
- Bro, need to drop someone.
Bro, we've booked a room here.
She's not well. So came to drop her.
- Really? What happened?
- Nothing. She's fine.
Here you go...
- OK, go in.
- Come in fast.
There...
Come, get out.
- Shall we?
- All fine. Go ahead.
- How to?
- Pull her by the leg.
Slowly.
Place the leg outside.
Hey!
- Eh?
- My cash...
Here...
That should cover it.
- Left hand?
- Yeah, put it around your shoulder.
Let me push from the other end.
- Anju... Anju!
- Slowly. Careful.
Bag...
Like that, yeah.
Want to call loading workers
from the market?
No need for now.
Some time to joke...
Slowly. Slowly.
The leg got stuck...
Place the leg down.
Yeah, good.
Anju...
Listen, I'm going to
lift you up...
Slowly...
- Her bag?
- Yeah, got it.
Careful!
It's OK.
One more step...
Those guys are staring.
But it's fine. Don't worry.
Oh my!
Nothing...
She just slipped.
What happened, Anju?
You tripped over?
- It's OK.
- Gently raise...
Just hold her and...
Nothing wrong.
- Bro, come here.
- We're at the hotel. It'll be trouble.
Anju...
- Can't give you a room here.
- Eh?
How can you say that? They came
here because you agreed.
I agree. But we didn't know
this was the condition.
This will get us into trouble.
She got drunk and threw up.
That's all!
Let's do one thing.
We'll take her to our room.
- Wait. I'll call the police.
- Hey, no. Don't.
Don't call the police.
The autorickshaw is waiting.
We'll take her somewhere.
No need for the police.
Here, hold this.
Bro, take the vehicle.
This is trouble, bro.
I'm on a pilgrimage vow.
Sanal bro!
Sanal bro, my foot!
I have a home and family!
Will pay you more.
Stop, man!
Rajan bro, what to do now?
Don't worry. I'm here.
We'll take her in our car.
Busted!
The key...-Yeah bro, totally busted!
This must be your wheezing aunt...
Dirty old man!
Here, stuff it up your...
We're leaving.
We'll take her directly home.
Nobody has a problem with that, right?
Bro, get the girl.
I'll bring the car.
Dude, Chanchal...
Come, I'll explain everything.
Anju...
Let's get up.
Anju...
I'm lifting you...
There's a step...
OK. Stay here.
Rajan bro will come now.
He's gone to get the car.
Chanchal, put the legs in.
Help him fast, man!
This guy!
Come, get in.
So this is why you made up
the story about your sick aunt?
You'd planned to get me piss drunk
and have fun with her?
Shut up, you jerk!
Stop your filthy talk.
Calm down, Rajan bro.
We should've told him before.
Sorry, Chanchal.
She's my old friend.
Anish, no need to explain
anything to him.
He's too high to understand.
Drink some water, dammit.
Chanchal... Anish bro had gone
to a college reunion party.
He was forced to go at the
last minute, actually.
I told Anish bro not to tell you
so that it wouldn't spoil your mood.
Oh.
And?
Long story short...
She got drunk and passed out.
Seeing that, all his friends
sneaked away.
And the responsibility to drop her home
fell on Anish bro's shoulders.
After all, he was the
college union chairman...
She was okay till getting into
the autoriskhaw.
She puked and blacked out
soon after. Right, bro?
Yeah, right... right...
You weren't in touch for long?
No.
I don't know her family also.
So, what to do now?
We need to take her
to a safe place.
It'll be the same with any hotel.
It was stupid of us to
take her to Malhar.
They've known me for years.
Didn't expect those buggers
would ditch me like that.
Bro... at this hour of the night,
if an unconscious chick...
I mean...
If an unconscious girl
falls down at your doorstep,
it could give anyone the jitters!
Some shady guys were
near the gate, staring at us.
Will they sniff out something?
Wonder what will happen...
What could happen?
We didn't commit any crime.
Bro! Only we know that, right?
The witness is passed out!
We're done if some cop stops us
to check if we are drunk...
All three are sloshed.
You too had enough, right?
It's very obvious.
If the cops catch us now
they won't be booking us
for just drunk driving.
It will be kidnapping!
Heavy thrashing for sure.
Dude!
What else, Bro!
I'm not bluffing.
Wait, let me show you something.
Got a forward a while back.
Ah, got it.
Listen to this.
"Four men and a girl spend
the whole night in a car."
"This will shock you!"
The link's loading...
Here it is...
"In a state of inerb..."
"Inebriation"
"four men went around the city with
a young model from Venjaramoodu."
"Thampanoor police
has arrested them."
- "The car they drove..."
- Stop it, for heaven's sake!
Fine if you don't want the news.
Let's take her to someone's house.
That's the only way.
Yeah, true.
Your place will be okay, right?
Have you gone mad, bro?
You don't know my dad.
At this hour, he must be piss drunk and
wondering whom to pick a fight with.
Not only that
he's a bit of a pervert too...
Oh, no way!
Not a chance...
Bro, what about your place?
What?
If I take this knocked out girl
through the colony, I'm finished.
The whole locality will know.
And you know the car
won't go till my door.
Oh! Imagine the sight of us
carrying her across the colony...
Wait... I have a cousin.
She's cool. But we'll have to
drive till Kazhakkoottam.
Not a problem.
Oh, I forgot.
They must be driving down
from Bangalore.
They had told me they'd
reach the church directly.
Nobody else?
There's my close friend.
He stays with his parents.
But his folks are pretty chill.
Let me try...
Hello...
Did I wake you up?
Dude...
Oh, when?
Today?
Oh...
Okay.
Nothing...
I called just like that.
Yes.
Okay, then.
I'll drop by.
His grandma died.
Today evening...
Can't take her there now.
True that... They'll have
two bodies to deal with.
Who else...
There's another guy.
He will stand by me, but will
leak the news. Can't trust him.
Ah! No need, bro.
Such guys won't do.
What's it?
Ah, nothing.
There's nobody else I can trust.
I've got only you guys.
Bro...
Geethu knows about
your get together, right?
Yeah.
Problem solved then.
We can take her there. Right?
Hey, his house is full of relatives.
Otherwise, we would have
gone there directly!
Yes. True.
Just think of it, Chanchal.
Us bringing in this passed-out girl
on the eve of the baptism. Oh!
Those women there will
cook up all sorts of stories.
- Won't they?
- Totally.
Anish bro, that old army uncle,
hard of hearing... Has he come?
Yeah, he has reached.
Great! He'll blast
bombs up our asses.
That's a possibility.
I've seen her somewhere.
No way!
How would you see someone who's
been out of Kerala for 78 years?
Not in person.
I think it was in some video.
In a video?
What video?
That's what
I'm trying to recollect.
Let me think.
I'll get it.
Rajan bro, "Amma calling."
Should I pick up?
No! Don't pick up!
What if there's more trouble
if we don't pick up?
What will you tell her?
Missed it.
It's locked again.
Can't call back either.
Why the hell would you call back?
If we get her friend's address,
we can take her there.
What excuse will you give?
"Your daughter had come
to a party last night,"
"and she left her phone there."
"I'll return it to her tomorrow."
"Can you please give her
address, auntie... I mean, Mom?"
That's a nice idea...
That might work, right?
Yeah.
If she calls again,
we are saved...
She'll call...
It's a risk till she wakes up.
Once she wakes up, we're safe.
We have no place to
keep her till then.
See, how God shows us a way...
Kanyakumari... 73 km...
Are you out of your mind, bro?
Going till Kanyakumari?
What else? Take her
to your aunt's house?
I think it's a good idea, Chanchal.
Police on the way is a risk.
But that's more likely in the city, right?
Right!
That's true.
But, they sometimes stop at
the check post. There's a chance...
They won't stop
private vehicles, dude.
But then, given our luck,
anything can happen.
Must've imagined.
Shit, we are done!
Cops!
Wear the seat belt, man.
Nobody talk.
I'll deal with it.
Dude, don't overact.
Anish bro, take her hand
and keep it in your hand.
- What for?!
- Keep it.
Where to?
Sir, slipped and fell down the stairs
getting clothes from the terrace.
Taking to Neyyattinkara
General Hospital now.
My sister...
She's four months pregnant, Sir.
I fear we might lose the baby.
Why make your pregnant wife
do such chores?
Sorry, Sir.
OK. OK.
Get going now.
OK.
That was close.
Right, bro?
What are you, man?
The best actor of Model School?
You are a master at telling lies.
Hey, bro...
When we left the hotel
some losers from the nearby
newspaper office were looking at us.
Will they recognise us
and dig things up?
No worries about us.
What about Anish bro?
True, nobody watches
his show "A Little While"...
But what about his old
news channel shows?
All jobless buggers watch news.
Someone might have spotted you.
Don't scare me, man.
I've already lost it.
I was just giving an option.
You call this an option?
I wonder what'll happen to Anish bro
if this news spreads in the office.
Bro...
Can I tell you another option?
Yeah, tell me.
Shall we give her some buttermilk?
Is your uncle selling
buttermilk at midnight?
Teacher will see.
Leave me, Anish.
Hmm?
Stop it, Anish.
Bro, looks like she's waking up.
Great if she wakes up.
She was blabbering in her sleep.
Don't think she'll wake up any time now.
Anish, the hook will come off.
Gently...
What?!
The hook will break, Anish.
Gently...
She's talking in her sleep.
Anju...
Anju...
Rajan bro, she's blabbering.
Can't understand.
I want to take a leak.
Need to stop somewhere.
Even I want to pee.
Bro...
I knew right from the start that
these two are having an affair.
They hadn't gone to
any reunion or party.
All bogus stories to fool us.
Are we idiots to believe all that?
Bro, can I tell you what happened?
Are you listening?
They've been having
an affair for a while.
What did you say? He's a gem to party
with us on the eve of the baptism, right?
He's no such gem.
He was desperate to meet her.
That's the whole reason.
Using our party as an excuse,
he could fool his wife and get out.
So they met, checked into
some hotel room
shared a couple of drinks,
and did the business.
As he was about to drop her back,
she threw up and passed out.
This is what happened.
Then he could've
just dropped her home.
Get lost, man!
He and his stories...
Why would that be...
Bro, I think it was like...
She can't be taken home
in this condition, right?
She may be married.
At home, she'll have
husband and kids...
No... She won't have kids.
She'll have a hubby, for sure.
She must've given the
excuse of an office party.
If her hubby sees her like this
with him, it'll be trouble, right?
All their lies will fall apart.
What do you say?
You stop making things up.
She muttered something
in her sleep.
Come get into the car.
That's how it is, eh?
Very well.
Where've I seen her before?
Rajan bro, I'll be right back.
Please keep an eye.
Sure.
What is it?
Nothing... Has she acted
in any short film?
Not as far as I know.
Why?
I've seen her somewhere.
I'll get it.
- Rajan bro..
- Hmm?
There's another issue.
If you drink, you'll
want to pee. Right?
So?
We've all peed.
She's had the most.
It should be, right?
That's why she's passed out.
If she was even half awake,
we could've told her to go pee.
That isn't possible now.
If my calculation is correct, she'll
pee all over here any time now.
Just wait.
- Dude, Chanchal...
- Hmm?
If you'd used this intelligence
of yours for something good
our country would've
progressed long ago.
Yeah?
Need to go...
Need to pee...
This is trouble.
There are no fuel stations nearby.
That's bad.
Anju... Just five minutes, okay?
I want to go right now.
Bro...
You pull over the vehicle.
Otherwise she'll ruin the car.
Hey!
Then pull over
somewhere isolated, bro.
Yeah.
Let me try to wake her up.
Splash some water on her face.
Wait, man!
Let me call her.
Anju...
Anju...
Anju, we've stopped the car.
Anju...
It won't work, bro.
Splash some water...
Anju...
Anju, come... Get out.
Anju...
Anju...
Anju...
This isn't going to work.
Put your hand over my shoulder.
Hang on to my shoulders.
The things we have to see!
Bro, you must understand one thing.
I don't cook up any story
without a reason, okay?
Dude, keep quiet
for heaven's sake!
I'm going for a smoke.
Want to join?
No.
Hey, keep this door open!
Bro...
Let's go?
Let's go.
Bro, shall I drive for a while?
What say?
No.
Anju...
He peeped at me.
Eh?
What?!
I didn't peep!
Bro, do you think
I'll ever do that?
Sister, don't lie.
This orange shirt...
But my shirt's yellow!
It's yellow...
Bro, I didn't peep at her.
You understand now?
She's blabbering in her sleep...
When did I...?
Bro, why don't you
say something?
What to say?
You really believe
what this bi...
Sorry
what this lady said?
Bro...
If in her sleep, she can say that
we peeked at her peeing
can you imagine what she might
allege when she gets up?
What's to allege?
A good looking girl...
Went out with him to booze...
When she opens her eyes, it's some
godforsaken place in Tamil Nadu...
That too with two strangers in a car...
If you were there in her place
what would you think?
Tell me, what would you?
What to think?
Whether they've raped me!
Shut up, you scumbag!
You think you can say anything?
I'm here with her..
She knows me so well...
Then will she think
something like that?
See now...
She knows you really well, right?
What did you say earlier?
You haven't met in ten years...
You barely know her, right?
I really want to know...
Tell the truth at least now...
What's your affair with her?
- Affair?
- Yeah, affair...
Rajan bro, pull over.
Stop the car!
Get out.
Get out, I said.
- You've been on it for a while...
- Bro, leave me.
Affair, is it? Even if it is,
what's it to you?
Hey you!
Nothing...
Just admit it.
See now.
In the morning you were geeking out
with that moustached Hulk Hogan, right?
"Family is antisocial...
it's a jailer..."
Now when it comes to people
knowing about this, you're terrified?
A man should have a spine.
Why don't you own up to it?
You think I don't own up because
I'm scared of you, scumbag?
Say whatever you want to anyone.
I don't give a damn!
- Shall I?
- Yeah.
- Tell anyone?
- Yeah, tell.
- What if I tell Geethu?
- Hey, stop it.
You stay out!
Shall I tell her?
He's just a show-off!
Aren't you ashamed to
back him up like this?
Hey you...
Listen carefully.
It's not some random affair.
I love her.
Get it?
Love her like crazy.
Here's Geethu.
Tell her.
- Go ahead.
- Yeah, I will.
- Give me the phone.
- He dared me to.
Hello...
Don't act smart!
- Hello.
- Ah, Geethu...
Rajan here.-Where's Anish?
He just went to the bathroom.
I had asked him to call.
Need any extra cars tomorrow?
You called at this hour
to ask that?
I didn't check the time.
Sorry...
So I'll arrange everything.
OK then.
Here.
Please don't create issues.
I'm telling you both.
Get in the car.
Hey, you come here.
Anish came to with us an issue
like this because he trusts us.
You shouldn't destroy that trust.
After all, we are colleagues, right?
We owe him our livelihood.
Keep that in mind.
Think of how long we
have to work together...
Don't let it simmer.
Get in the car.
Get in the car!
Bro...
I'm sorry.
It's OK.
Leave it.
Like the moonlight blending
with the frothing waves at night...
Like a dream that fades at dawn,
you have come unannounced
This moment when
the rain thins to a drizzle...
While we dim the lights
and hold hands...
Savouring with eager lips,
we're chalices of love to each other
Here?!
Bro, park in that dark corner there.
What's wrong with you?
We'll park here,
right under this lamp...
Know why?
So that no one doubts us...
Bro... you really are sharp!
Then let me try to catch a wink.
Dear...
A driver should just look at
the road ahead and drive.
There's no need to poke
his nose into anything else.
But in light of the extra years
I've lived, let me tell you
This game is dangerous.
Bro, you are not my driver...
You are my elder brother.
I didn't say all that
just to stir up Chanchal.
In college, we were in love.
Madly in love.
Had planned to get married.
Then things got complicated.
We are meeting after
eight years, that's true.
In eight years,
we both changed a lot.
My ego and ignorance
have come down.
She started drinking.
But I really love her.
She loves me too.
That hasn't changed.
What about Geethu?
Anyway, she's going back to Delhi.
And from there to the US.
So, there is no scope for
the danger you mentioned.
Let it end forever like this.
Will it?
I don't know the damn right,
wrong or danger of it, bro...
Good morning.
Good morning?
Where's this?
Where's this?
Kanyakumari!
How did we reach here?
I passed out yesterday, right?
But, how did we end up here?
There was no safe place
to take you to...
So thought of taking a long drive.
Shit!
It was a lot of trouble, right?
Hey, no problem.
Shit happens, right?
I'm used to it.
But, that's not
the real question.
What do you remember?
We were at that rooftop...
I bored you to death
with my sob story...
We shared a cigarette...
Elevator...
We walked in the middle of the road.
Auto...
We really annoyed him.
He went out to buy paan...
Then?
Remember anything else?
What the hell?
- Sorry, Sir.
- What sorry?
Damn kid!
Ruined my sleep...
What to do?
Eh! Hey Chanchal...
Hey, wake up.
It's morning.
Look, they both aren't here.
God, where have they gone?
They must've gone to
the Vivekananda Rock.
- You sleep.
- Hey, get out of the car. Out!
Let's search.
Get out!
- Try his number.
- That's what I'm doing.
- It's switched off.
- Switched off?
- Come on. Let's go search.
- Which way to go?
- This way. Come.
- Why not this way?
That's the sea!
Come this way.
Sea, is it?
We never had a formal breakup...
We had a tiff...
Then stopped talking...
Not even a decent goodbye...
Even a slap from you
would've been a relief.
We're in a good place now, right?
Your emotional scars are healed?
Where to search?
- What if they've eloped?
- Shut up.
Perhaps they went
to take a leak again.
Possible...
They were that drunk, right?
Hey you!
Come along. I can't go
searching for you now.
Hey...
Ya?
While we are at it,
shall I ask something?
What?
If you hadn't passed out yesterday...
If so?
What would've happened?
Get lost!
You said you missed a slap, right?
Shall I make up for it?
Hey, don't just sit there.
Let's go search.
I can't. Let them come
when they want.
Why are you so...-Here are our guys.
- Rajan bro...
- Ah!
Where were you?
We searched everywhere...
This is Rajan bro,
this is Chanchal.
Hi.
They are the ones who brought you
in one piece across the border.
- I know it was a real trouble.
- No trouble at all...
Wonder what they would
have thought about me.
What would we think...
Honestly, it's the first time
I've passed out like this...
First time, really?
That's too bad!
- So, shall we leave?
- Yes, sure.
- Saw enough of Kanyakumari?
- More than enough.
Without touching the shore,
we saw the sea from afar
Without touching the flower,
sipped nectar
Without laying on the tongue,
felt the bitterness of pain
Together we sat
on the burning sands
Leaving behind the shadow,
the body walked away
Before blooming,
the flower wilted
Before the rains,
the root dried up
Even under the umbrella,
they got soaked
- Come, have some tea.
- Oh, no need.
Today is his baptism.
I mean, his baby's...
It's like my baptism...
I almost died last night.
Ah... now I got it!
Bro, didn't I tell you
I've seen her somewhere?
Bro, that Malayali actress
in some Hindi web series...
- Looks like her.
- Ah, I've been told.
Is it?
Thanks a lot, really...
I've really put you through
a lot of trouble.
Hey, that's OK.
Not an issue.
See you then.
See you.
Anish!
Didn't you forget something?
Eh?
Don't pass out on the US flight
drinking all that free booze!
Bye.
In the sweet twilight,
we stood in dismay
The sunlight left by the sky
on the paths also fades slowly
Crossing the vast ocean of sorrow,
you are leaving...
Crossing the vast ocean of sorrow,
you are leaving...
The silver moon we scooped up
carefully into our palms...
...drains into the dark,
as the slender fingers slightly part
Into this lake the moonlight seeps,
spreading fragrance
On that serene lake
we rained down alone...
Crossing the vast ocean of sorrow,
you are leaving...
Even if you go far away...
In the garden
of my imagination...
In all the paths you take
I will be waiting, as a cloud
I will be the drops that scatter,
falling on the strands of your hair
I will be those wet caresses
dripping down your forehead
Crossing the vast ocean of sorrow,
you are leaving...
Crossing the vast ocean of sorrow...
You... are leaving
In my room, at times
damp rancid shadows billow
When seasons change,
we appear on the walls
Even after farewell hugs,
travellers who can't part...
Forget the distance...
Time marches on...
Burdens fall off...
And thus in an invisible web,
the lovers remain trapped...
...and forever stay
Forget the distance...
Time marches on...
Burdens fall off...
The lovers remain trapped...
Forget the distance...
Time marches on...
Burdens fall off...
The lovers remain trapped...
Forget the distance...
Time marches on...
Burdens fall off...
The lovers remain trapped...
