Kaanekkaane (2021) Movie Script

"AS YOU WATCH"
"AS YOU WATCH"
- Got Dairymilk?
- Yes.
- I have the ones with nuts.
- With nuts...ok...give me three.
- Anything else?
- A pack of candles...
- ...and a matchbox.
- Ok.
That will be 390.
(Recites a prayer)
Amen!
Hello...Papa...
- When did you start?
- Around...8...
Oh...got caught in traffic?
No...I had a couple of things to do here.
Oh...
- Please sit, Papa.
- Ok...
- Is it time for Kuttu...to get home?
- Yes...
His class is till 12.30...
he gets home by 1.
It's...Sneha...isn't it?
- Yes.
- I mean...
....I knew that...just wondered
if you have a pet name or something.
My family call me Chinnu.
But Allen just calls me Sneha.
Let me get you coffee...
or would you prefer tea?
No...it's ok...I had lemonade
on the way.
That was then...you take sugar, don't you?
- I...no...
- Then coffee it is.
- Bye!
- Bye, Aaron!
Bye!
- Know me?
- Yes.
- Then say it - who am I?
- Grandpa!
Last meeting, ours was the region
with the worst CAGR.
The arrear collection has also
been very weak.
Last time we met in Hyderabad,
I had warned you!
You don't check the team's DCR...
...and competitor analysis...
...has not happened for a long time!
See the dip...
If you'd been more careful, 15% more
advertisements could've been...
...easily generated!
Come to our Mumbai office and see
how senior managers work there.
That too people without your kind
of experience!
What's happening?
Come on! You were the best!
Excuse me...Allen...
I think it's your phone.
You left it in the washroom.
- Hello?
- Are you in a meeting?
It's ok...you can talk.
- I am leaving.
- Ok.
- (whispers) Five..to fry! - Ok.
- You'll eat with Papa, right?
- Yes.
- You won't be too late, will you?
- Papa's waiting.
- No I wont.
Hmm...ok.
Infinity stones mean whatever you desire...
...you can get it...so what Thanos
does with it is...
...he tries to destory Earth.
- So...I'll be Spiderman.
- Ok.
And you be Ironman.
- Oh no!
- Don't worry!
Ironman is really strong! You just
have to be him, Grandpa!
- Ironman will take care of the rest!
- Oh!
Great! You are going to have this now
and skip lunch, aren't you?
- Yes!
- Seriously!
Are you hungry, Papa? Allen will be here
in half an hour...everything's ready.
- No...let him get here.
- Ok.
I need to drop in at office...
I am on 4 months leave...
...but today is the final meeting
of a project I had initiated.
- It'll be just ten minutes.
- How will you go?
- Do you drive?
- No Papa...we have a part-time driver.
Are you still with ALM?
Yes...and...
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
What? Daddy and Mummy are coming?
Oh no! It was meant to be a surprise!
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
What? 7 on 10 for dictation?
We practiced so many times!
They were all tough words, Mom!
Come here, will you?
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
No harm in completing it today,
is there?
Ok.
What's this? Cows give us 'mill'?
- Cows give us milk!
- Cows gives us...mil-kkk!
Wonderful!
You have to correct this too!
- Mom! - Is there any homework
I don't know about? Tell me the truth!
- No!
- The truth!
- No! - Then why're you laughing?
- I am not!
It's Kuttu's first day...
he was crying so bad!
I said I would stay just for today
but the teachers wouldn't let me.
Of course they wouldn't! If you stay for
one day, you will need to stay every day!
But I am taking a half-day off anyway...
it's only for 2 hours.
There's a coffee shop here...
I am going to sit there and wait.
Don't be crazy, girl!
He must have started playing
with his new friends already.
No, Papa...when he is suddenly
away from me for so long...
...he won't be able to adjust.
- Listen...you...
- I know!
- Ya!
- Ok, Sir...
- Hello?
- Did Papa...
...ask you anything?
Nothing...in particular.
- Aren't you home yet?
- I am on the way.
Papa is waiting for you to have lunch.
- You said you were leaving office...
- (whispers) Happy birthday!
I just said I was on the way.
Did he ask anything else?
About me...
...or you?
Well...he asked if I was
with the same company.
Nothing else.
Ok.
25 + 38?
- Sixty three.
- Sixty three!
Try adding it yourself
before you write it down.
I know how to add...but if you...
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
(whispering numbers to himself)
Do your Dad and Mom
help you like this?
Sometimes...like if I have a fever
or something...
...then Mom helps me out.
- Oh.
- 16+39?
You know...I think I have a fever...
- 55.
- 55...
(whispers) 55!
Do you remember your mother?
Of course! I see her every day, don't I?
I mean...your mother?
Oh!
You've been waiting a while,
haven't you, Papa?
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
I was just...talking to him.
Are you on leave in the afternoon?
Yes...shall we have lunch?
Ok.
- Serve lunch, please.
- Ok.
I'll just change and be right out.
You are here till tomorrow,
aren't you?
I...yes...I need to meet the lawyer
while I am here.
I hope you don't mind
sharing the room with him.
- Not at all!
- Why? Do you think I will eat him up?
Now you see his true colours!
You...can change too...if you want.
Ok.
Will your mother be coming?
No...she has arthritis...it's been
troubling her for a few months now.
- She doesn't go out much.
- Oh.
So...does she have help?
Jaison is in Hyderabad, isn't he?
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
Oh!
You...have grown thinner.
Like glittering snow...
...showering down....
...into a pool...
...of milky moonlight
So too my dreams...
...feel like magic
That's what your face does to me...
...as I watch.
Like glittering snow...
...showering down...
As spring touches me...
...in the form of your fingers...
...like a thousand petals in bloom...
...my mind opens up.
When my eyes fill up...
...your sweet whispers...
...fall upon me like a caress...
...and comfort me.
When I am hurt, you are...
...a breeze that gently hugs me.
When I wither in the summer heat...
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
...we blend into a divine melody.
Like your shadow...
...that can never be seperated from you...
...silent and deep...
...let's merge into each other.
These hands...
...never untangled...
...in joys and sorrows...
...let's walk as one.
How I wish this dream would never end.
How I wish my dreams came true.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
...how I wish you were always by my side.
How I wish you knew...
...the agony of my love.
- Chinnu!
- Yes?
It's over a year...since I last saw him.
And you too.
More than the fact
that she was being replaced...
...it was the idea of Kuttu getting
a new mother in her place...
...that I found it hard to accept.
That is my fault, of course.
I have nothing against the two of you.
I know.
And...there are decisions to be made...
regarding the property there.
It's all meant for Kuttu, as you know.
There's time for all that, Papa.
There's no need to rush.
Hmm
It's not like before...I have...
...some health issues of late.
Not all the time...but once in a while...
...maybe once a month...
for two days or so...
...send Kuttu to me in Pala.
If you give me the date,
I can come and pick him up.
On the other hand...
if you would all come...
...it'd make me happier.
Hmm
One entire year! Imagine!
He's grown a lot since you last saw him,
hasn't he?
Oh yes!
He's taller.
You should hear him talk!
It's nonstop!
Hats off to Sneha!
And Allen?
They're happy.
And Kuttu as well.
Hmm...what is the time there?
8.30...I was just leaving.
Ok...then I'll call you
when I get back tomorrow.
- Ok, Papa.
- Ok.
It isn't just that
there's more competition.
Business in general is dull...everywhere!
- People simply don't have money.
- Oh.
What about the project
you just finished?
That was a villa complex...we have only
managed to sell three.
Oh! Long back I had 'pongal'
from a hotel in Chennai.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
Ever since she gives me
a little surprise now and then.
- If there's any left, pack it up...
I will drop it off at your place - Ok.
- Her house is near ours in Thrissur.
- I see.
- You are not going home till after the
delivery, right? - I'll go just for a day.
- It's my mother's death anniversary.
- Even after the delivery, for at least...
-...three months,
I won't let you go anywhere! - Oh no!
It's a great relief to us that she is here.
My father's in Thrissur...with us...
If I am not there, it's very difficult.
You've not eaten anything, Paul...
honey...serve him...
No, thanks! I've had enough!
Hello, Prasanth?
I am ready to go.
I have the exhibits.
Yes.
The chargesheet too.
The copy, yes.
Alright, then...see you.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
The lawyer says we have to
stay strong and take it forward.
Do you really need to pursue this further?
Of course, all of us are sad about
what happened to Sherin.
But the two of them...have just
started their life together...
Especially when she is in this condition.
Whether he wants to or not...
...Allen will be forced to be involved.
- How much time was wasted over this
in the lower courts! - Mom!
Consider this our request...
please put an end...
...to the legal formalities...
once and for all!
You are talking about...
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
Someone you've never met.
But that is not what that person
means to me.
In some cases we feel...like
the Court has...
...too much leniency towards one party.
In this case I felt that right
from the start.
In such a situation, we should
certainly go in appeal to the High Court.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
But...before that...
...let's see what they have to say.
It was...somewhere around here...?
Yes...the scooter was lying over there.
The proceedings at the Magistrate Court...
have left him a wreck.
And now the High Court as well...
Do you need to do that, Sir?
I have stated an amount that I can manage.
And that is because I have known
him for the past 8 years.
It wasn't a case of overspeeding
or drunkenness or anything.
He fell asleep at the wheel...
he can't do anything about it now.
You can get him charged with negligence
and put him in jail.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
I understand your feelings.
I have three kids too.
But it was an accident...it could've
happened to anyone.
Accidents can happen to anyone.
But abandoning a person on the road...
...that is a choice for each of us to make.
- You could've had lunch before leaving.
- It's ok...
- How many have you had?
- Oh...
...what's the fun without company?
Why did you have to go to Mumbai
right this day?
- Where's Sherin?
- She...
...is in a complete mood-off.
You may have to cheer her up a bit.
Oh God! How bad is it?
- Well, not terrible...but still...
watch out! - Ok.
- Here.
- What for?
- See that?
- Hey! You!
- Take it.
- No.
Just take it, will you? Here!
- Where's Kuttu?
- Asleep.
He was crying for you before he
fell asleep.
Oh God! Don't be so over-the-top!
You think everything is over-the-top...
including me!
I had an urgent meeting...you know that!
But all the people in your office
are right here!
It's only you who has no new year...
or any thought for your family!
Unless I run about like this, we can't
finish off our loans and EMIs!
- So you are saying I don't
have a good job, aren't you? - There goes!
It's your own auditor's firm...ask him
to give me a pay hike.
- Papa, save me!
- Don't bother!
I won't trouble you anymore...
I am leaving!
Sit there!
Hey! As soon as you are back...
...we are going to have a celebration, ok?
- Got that?
- Done!
The countdown is starting here...
Eight...seven...
...six...five...
- ...four...three...
- Three.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
- Happy new year!
- Happy new year!
Didn't you leave, Sir?
Yes, he lost his wife...and I
understand the grief.
That is why I have stood by him
and continue to do so.
But at some point...shouldn't one
overcome that and move on?
After all, haven't I also invested into
this relationship? A lot?
Don't I deserve a better deal?
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
I need my space and me-time.
Did I ever say you can't?
How much time out of 24 hours is your
space and me-time?
And how much of it is 'our' time?
Zero! Big, big zero!
Is there anything lacking in how I
look after Kuttu?
Or wasn't I the kind of partner
you were expecting?
If I have to know,
you need to tell me, Allen.
I have no skill to interpret your
long silences.
I need to be spoken to.
Sneha! Allen, she's ready to listen to you.
When there is such an open invitation
from one side...
...make an effort to meet her half-way...
...and things will be much better,
don't you agree?
Also, when going through such a
complicated pregnancy...
...she needs your complete support,
doesn't she?
See...the two of you....
are...targeting me here.
No Allen...you are helping each other.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
I explained this to you
in our last session.
I have a client meeting at 3.
This is just my need now, Zarine.
From the day we got married,
till this day...
...I have never felt I was an important
part of Allen's life.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
I am past the time and age for that sort
of romance.
To hell with your romance!
If that is what I was looking for...
...a man with a wife and child would not
have been my choice!
Basic human communication...
...we had that between us, Allen.
That is how we got started
in the first place.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
I am warning you!
How long has Sneha been in Ernakulam?
Around...two and a half years.
I see...and before that, where was she?
At first, she was in this place
called Noida.
- When was that?
- Maybe 5 or 6 years ago.
- And then?
- Then she was in Mumbai.
I see.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
At that time she was in Mumbai.
Yes...that's right...I remember...
...going to Mumbai with Sherly Chechi
in 2016 October. (Big Sister)
"Last month she came to my office for
something and we got introduced."
"Its your consent I need, Papa."
I haven't said yes.
She works in Ernakulam itself.
- With ALM.
- Hmm.
Last month, she came to my office
for something...
...and we got introduced.
Then we met a couple of times more...
...in my office.
When such a proposal came up
from their side...
Is this her first marriage?
Yes...yes!
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
It's not gone that far.
When I mentioned it to Kuttu...
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
It is your consent I need, Papa.
He left by 12.
And returned in around half an hour.
- And? - He was staring at those
photographs for a long time.
- And then he asked about you.
- What about me?
Where you worked before...
...and how long it's been since you
came here.
And he asked where you were in 2017.
7%. For clients who...
...did 50-60 lakhs business last year...
...that is the general slab
we are suggesting.
But we did more business than that.
Really?
Actually this is...
the internal calculation report.
Do you have the system-driven
report in your laptop?
- I don't have... - Rohit, let him come
when he is prepared and not drunk.
- Then we will continue...
- Sir...we can discuss, Sir..
- I am prepared, ok?
- Sir!
- Sir, we are really sorry
- See Rohith...
- It's already late... - I dont know what
happened...he was really prepared
If you come unprepared for a meeting...
- You're wasting my time!
- I am really sorry!
- Come on! Cut the Crap! He's drunk!
- No other go! - Sure sir, sure sir...
we understand
How did the client meeting go?
- It went ok.
- Was the deal closed?
No...they said they would get back to us.
Hmm.
Did Papa call?
No.
I think Papa knows about us.
So why are we hiding it anymore?
Keeping this to ourselves is taking
its toll on our relationship.
And whatever I said to the counsellor
this morning, were not complaints.
They are my concerns.
It is my helplessness that made me
say all that.
It's alright...everyone needs an outlet.
Doesn't that apply to you also, Allen?
But this...is not the remedy.
If this whole guilt complex of yours
is connected to Papa...
...let me handle that for you.
I am also a part of it, aren't I?
We have Kuttu to think about.
We have our careers.
And our lives ahead.
Take all the time you need, Allen.
As much as you need.
But I want you to promise...
...that you will come back to me!
- Put this up to the Tahsildar. - Ok.
- I have added some notes. - Ok.
I won't be here in the afternoon...you can
submit any applications that come in.
- I'll check them tomorrow.
- Ok.
Where are you off to, Sir?
Have a site inspection?
No Sreejith, I am going home...
I have a slight headache.
- Hope there's no dizziness like
last time! - No!
- I'll drop you, Sir.
- No, I will go on my own.
- It's just a matter of ten minutes...
let me get the car. - There's no need.
- Hello?
- Hello...
Papa...
...it's Sneha.
What do you want?
Are you busy?
Yes.
I want to meet you, Papa...
Hello?
I am not interested in meeting you.
Papa...just 15 minutes...
No.
But I have to meet you.
Can I come over there?
Please, Papa!
At that time...
...I was getting over...a breakup.
More than anything else, I needed
someone to depend on.
And around that time...
during a conference in Mumbai...
...I met Allen...
...and we became friends.
I knew everything.
That he was married...and had a child...
everything!
But at that time...all that logic...
...was beyond my understanding.
It wasn't even love I was looking for...
...just something like love...
...that's how lonely I was!
But...
...Allen loved me!
If Sherin had been around...
I don't know how things would've been.
And after she was gone...
we didn't say anything...
...because Allen and I were...
...scared we wouldn't be able
to face you in future.
I have no excuses to give, Papa.
I am the same age as Sherin.
That is what gives me the courage
to sit here before you.
Next Saturday is her death anniversary.
I wish Kuttu would be present
at her grave.
He'll be there!
And not just Kuttu...
Allen will be there too!
I'll take care of it, Papa.
Whether I should go or not
is my decision to make!
You should have checked with me
before giving him your word.
It's a second Saturday...
that's why I...
It is for me to decide what I should do
on a second Saturday.
Allen, there's no logic
in what you are saying.
And you know it too!
I am struggling to keep all relations
running smooth.
If I went to meet Papa,
it was for your sake!
It's because I thought it would
give you some relief!
I don't need any extra relief.
Just don't destroy what I have of it.
Keep it there...
Allen was urgently called to office.
- Oh!
- Did you just get here, Papa?
No...I spent some time in the Church.
Oh.
Good to see you...where's your Dad, child?
He's at home.
(Priest recites prayers)
Papa?
Will you come...home with us, Papa?
(scornful laugh)
You needn't stay.
Her death was a convenience
to him, wasn't it?
In every way, a convenient death!
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
...and Sherin had not come to my place.
She...was happy, wasn't she?
Very much! Our degree batchmates...
...were getting together after 8 years.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
Of course, Uncle...she was!
Hello...
Mekha...please attend to them.
Has she ever mentioned Sneha?
Sneha...you mean Allen's wife?
- Yes.
- No.
Sherin never said anything.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
That day...it was when Allen called
and said Sherin hadn't reached home...
...that you went in search of her, right?
Maximum half an hour...there's no way
it takes longer than that.
We'll look...
Sir! What's happened?
It's a hit-and-run...do you know
the victim?
- Yes!
- Then come after us. - Ok
Let's go...
The scooter was lying here?
Yes.
You and your husband
came from this direction?
Yes...my house is that way.
And there is only this one road by which
Sherin could have come to your place...
- ...and returned?
- Yes...there is no other road.
And Allen reached after you got here?
Yes.
- Which direction did he come from?
- Same as us...
How can that be?
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
Maybe he came over to my place.
Or maybe he thought...he would cross Sherin
somewhere along the way.
When you came...did you see
from far off...
...the scooter lying here?
Yes, we did.
- From afar?
- Yes.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
- Saw it?
- Yes.
This is the hand...the baby is moving.
The fluid level is still low.
- Oh - When you lie down, try to
stay on your left side.
- As long as you can.
- Ok
It's time to restrict your activities now.
- The due date is near.
- Ok.
Ok.
From 27th onwards, I am going
on leave...
...for maybe ten days.
- What happened, Sir? Why so long?
- I have some stuff in Ernakulam.
- Related to the case?
- Yes.
Sreejith...
...I want to learn driving.
- I have some trips coming up.
- Sajeev's brother has a driving school.
Getting a Learner's license and taking
the test will take a lot of time.
I am in a hurry.
Can you teach me?
In your car?
Just the basics?
I don't have an issue with that...but in
any case, you will need a license.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
...as per your convenience.
And I want to do some
night-driving too.
- Papa?
- Are you home?
Yes...we were just getting ready to go out.
You aren't in bed? It must be quite late
there right now.
I am going on leave from work...
...for ten days.
- Why? Are you sick or something?
- Come on, Mom...let's go!
- Come on, Mom! We're leaving.
- No.
But after that...
...Kuttu might be living here.
What do you mean here?
- With me.
- How come?
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
What are you talking about Papa?
What is going on?
Just answer my question!
Kuttu is just like Abhi or Anu to me.
What is the need to ask?
Can you just tell me what's going on?
I will tell you...when it's all over.
When what's over?
I will tell you...don't ask me now.
I will tell you...you go ahead
with your plans now.
Sir...don't dim the lights...
keep it bright.
Make it bright, Sir...that's right...
Sir...you have dimmed it again...
put it on bright.
Make it bright, Sir...
Sir...why have you
turned off the headlights?
Sir! Turn the lights on!
Sir...you could crash somewhere!
Turn the lights back on!
Sir!
- Why aren't you answering my calls?
- I was in a meeting!
That is now! I have been calling
for the past 4 days!
You want to see? You want to see?
Check your phone!
- Check your phone!
- Sneha...please!
Allen...if you are trying
to get rid of me...
- I wasn't!
- In that case...tell me...
...when's the marriage? We don't need
a Church or ceremony or anything.
Just a register office.
- I just want to be with you!
- Sneha...try to understand my situation!
We understood the situation
when we started this, didn't we?
So you are the one who should handle it...
and you assured me that you would.
If you are trying to get rid of me,
I'll kill myself!
You know that!
- Let's go somewhere out of here
and talk. - No!
I need to know your stand...now!
- I need some more time!
- No! No! No!
For the past year and a half,
this is what you've been saying.
I have to tell Sherin...and that is not
as easy as you think.
- You don't have to talk to her...I will!
- Sneha!
See...I will wait for one more day...I need
a clear-cut answer...a clear-cut date...
If I don't get that, I will come to your
house...I will tell Sherin...
...everything!
I can't be like this anymore...
I cannot be alone like this anymore...
Allen! Allen!
What is it? Huh?
I never wished for Sherin to be dead!
Never!
I never saw it as a convenient death...
...like Papa said.
Hers was a normal accident...
...like any other, wasn't it?
A normal hit-and-run?
- What is all this, Sneha?
- It's nothing...
I just feel...
Can you hold me?
Of course...
Here...
How long is your stay?
- Around...four or five days...
- Oh...
Ok
- 108.
- Ok.
- Sir, you can dial 3 for room service.
- Ok.
Do you know of any place here...
- ...where I can get a car or scooter
on rent? - Hmm...
- I will enquire and get back to you, Sir.
- Ok.
- You can leave. - But...then
who will take the scooter back?
I will call...for now, you can leave.
- How will you go? - I have to walk
almost a kilometer back to the junction.
Ok then.
Sir...I...I didn't know, Sir...
I am the owner of this car.
Where do you stay?
Do you have a copy of the registration
certificate?
- Sir...I am...Allen...
- Yes...
- Alright then...you may go.
- Ok, Sir
Is this your father-in-law?
Yes.
What is going on, Papa?
Where do you work?
Olympus Broadspace.
Come with me.
For a while now, he has been going up
and down this road in that car.
And the scooter was on its side
over there.
When we asked him what he was doing...
...he wouldn't give a solid answer.
When I asked him if he knew anyone
here in Ernakulam...
...first he said no.
It was after we repeatedly asked that he
gave your number.
He says he is a Deputy Tahsildar.
He is. In Pala.
So then...what's this about?
He isn't...
-...a person with issues, is he?
- No, sir!
- Where do you stay?
- Here...in Vidya Nagar.
When I asked...he said he is staying
in Pallimukku...
...at Hotel Elite.
I don't know about that, Sir.
The vehicles were both rented.
In normal circumstances, I would take him
to the station to verify the facts.
Sir...let me handle it....please...
- Thomas!
- Sir!
Take pictures of both their Aadhar cards.
- And note that vehicle number.
- Yes, Sir
- If anything comes up, I will call you.
- Ok.
- You can go now...take a picture
of his Aadhar card too. - Sir!
Sir, show me your Aadhar card.
Papa...what were you doing there?
That day...
...you came to the accident spot
from the opposite side.
Which means you went forward from where
the scooter was and came back.
I...did not see the scooter.
That's why I went forward.
On that road...anyone could have seen
the scooter lying there.
How could you have missed that, Allen?
Especially when you were out
looking for Sherin?
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
It was dark.
This...is as dark as it would have been.
In the last two years, you have called me
just three or four times.
After Sherin died, you never went
to the cemetary where she lies.
You never took Kuttu there.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
If you could do all that...
...you should have a better explanation
than that you didn't see her in the dark.
Don't let your plans get spoiled
on that point.
Plans? What plans?
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
And I won't get out until I know.
And neither will you.
"The number you are calling is
out of coverage area"
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
...I lost a grip on myself, Papa.
My daughter died for the second time today.
The first was an accident...
- ...but this...
- Papa...
Go.
Your family must be waiting for you.
When did you get back?
Sometime back.
And Papa?
Papa...is staying at a hotel.
Hotel? Which one?
Hotel Elite...in Pallimukku...
- What's he doing there?
- He has some stuff to do.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
What misunderstanding?
It was nothing...it got settled...
Let me get some sleep.
If someone is in an accident...
...and someone who could have and should
have...saved them...doesn't do it...
...and goes away instead...
...leaving the other to die...without
anyone else knowing about it....
...and that death turns out to be
beneficial for that other person...
...and they happily go about their life
as usual..
...shouldn't that person be punished?
What are you talking about, Uncle?
Who are you talking about?
What benefit did that driver get
from Sherin's death?
Is there such a law? Tell me that!
- Uncle...
- Just tell me that, Prasanth!
If there is any solid evidence
for what you said...
...as per IPC Section 304 A, the person
can get two years imprisonment.
What has happened now?
Uncle...I will drop you.
With no sense of guilt...
...with absolutely no sense of guilt!
Sir...what happened, Sir?
It's a hit-and-run...do you know
the victim?
- Yes. - Then follow us.
- Ok. - Let's go.
- Anyone here who came with the accident
victim? - Yes, Sister.
- Hello?
- Can I speak to Mr Allen?
- Yes?
- This is from Gems School.
I need to talk to you.
Go on.
Aaron's grandfather has come here
and says he needs to see him.
Mr Paul. Is it ok if he meets Aaron?
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
Fix a time and let me know.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
He cannot stay here anymore.
And by here, I mean with you...
...with the two of you.
A mother from long ago who somehow
died in an accident somewhere.
That is the idea you are both feeding
him about her.
Sneha does not know...if she did...
...she wouldn't be with me anymore.
What doesn't she know?
What is it that Sneha doesn't know?
That it wasn't just an accident?
Huh?
Or that if you had put your mind to it,
she would still be alive?
I could have not told you if I wanted.
The accident would have remained
an accident.
In the past two years...
...I have wanted many times...
...to tell you.
I was scared...but...
...now I can't even stand straight.
- I feel...
- You could have saved her!
And then gone off...with whoever
you wanted!
I was still alive!
I would've been there!
I will be around...in the same hotel.
No one needs to know anything...
not Kuttu...or your wife...
No one.
But when I return, Kuttu should
be with me.
He cannot grow up in that house...
not knowing anything....
...and like a fool
calling you 'Dad' anymore!
What doesn't she know?
What is it that Sneha doesn't know?
That it wasn't just an accident?
Huh?
Or that if you had put your mind to it
she would still be alive?
I could have not told you if I wanted
The accident would have remained
an accident
In the past two years...
...I have wanted many times...
...to tell you.
I was scared...but...
...now I can't even stand straight
I want Kuttu.
Is the baby here?
Did you come here to give me this?
Why are we sitting here...
on a school day?
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
...I don't want to go back to school
or anything...
If everyday was like this, it would be
so much fun!
About Grandpa coming to school today...
...and our coming here...don't say
any of that to Mom.
That's our deal!
That's true...if I tell Mom she will ask
why we didn't bring her too.
And the doctor said she should
take rest.
- Can I tell you something, Kuttu?
- Sure.
Suppose someone takes you away...
- ...and is going to hurt you.
- Ok...?
Suppose they say they won't hurt you...
...on one condition.
From the top of a tall building...
...I have to jump down.
I would jump.
But then you would die, wouldn't you?
Get yourself another ice cream.
I knew you would jump.
Please give me a Pista ice cream.
Just one.
- Take this inside.
- Ok.
Mummy has sent you a ton of stuff!
- Will you have coffee, Sir? - Only coffee!
Lunch is with the investors today.
- Daddy, can't you stay for a day?
- Oh no!
How can I stay today, honey? Today
is Tomychan's daughter's reception.
I will go back after the meeting.
See if this is what you wanted...
the colours and everything...
Here...
...this is one type...
...and here's...
...another type...
This is a combo pack...with cap...
...and nappy and booties and everything!
It's good material...check it out...
What is it? What is it, honey?
I am not...happy...Daddy...
That day...after Sherin's Papa came here
and left...
...things are getting worse.
I don't...have a clue...what to do...
I don't know...what to do!
I know it's difficult
to get an admission...
...halfway through the academic year.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
Yes...but even on the management...
...it's all people we know.
No...his Dad...
...and his Dad's wife live here.
They have some work-related issues.
And both of them have a lot of travel
coming up.
I am also considering early retirement...
...so I will have the time
to take care of him.
I can get the transfer certificate
from his present school.
Second grade...
I am trying to bring him there
within the month.
Alright, Father...thank you!
I don't know what your intentions are.
And I don't wish to know either.
Whatever it is, it should not affect
my daughter's life!
Just as you are looking out for
your daughter...
...I need to look out for mine!
I am not interested right now in
who it might affect.
When she said she wanted to marry
a man with a child...
...we did not say a word against it.
We stood by her because...
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
So please...don't step in the way.
Don't make me come here again.
(Derisive snort)
Are you trying to scare me?
If your daughter is not in my way...
...consider that her good fortune!
- That's all I can say!
- You!
I had to go somewhere near the school
today...so I picked him up...
- Just tell Sneha.
- Ok.
- Did you have your food? - Yes.
- All of it? - Yes.
Today...I have made something
new for you.
- Oh?
- For your evening snack.
He came and met me...we talked
for a long time.
But...the questions he asked...and the way
he asked them...
...I found it all a bit strange.
He is in a terribly...abnormal mood.
If he calls you...or visits you...please
don't encourage it, Tara.
He told me he might even move legally.
Like he was...threatening me or something.
In that matter also, he might ask
for your support.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
...it will affect Sneha's, Kuttu's
and my life.
It will upset everything.
I hope you understand.
- Please tell Arun too.
- Ok.
- Cheta, one more dosa here!
- Coming up!
Brother...your change!
If you are staying here to take
Kuttu away...
...don't! You should leave!
Let me live! At least now!
You are not the only one
with a life to live.
Retirement...a few days of rest...
...a visit from my daughter and
grandson once in a while...
...the small intervals of time I get
to spend with them...the little joys...
...a short period of time to be his friend
as he grows up...
...maybe a birthday or Christmas
or Easter together...
...and a peaceful death with my loved
ones around me...
You are not the only one
with a life to live!
The minute you left her on the road to die,
you stopped being Kuttu's Dad!
From that day he became a fatherless child.
That's enough! Who do you think you are?
God? To pronounce judgement?
Yes! There needs to be such a power too!
And right here, right now, that is me!
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
Kuttu will be with me from now on...
that is my firm decision.
That won't happen, Papa...
not as long as I am alive!
I have absolutely no desire
that you should stay alive!
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
I don't lack that mental strength at all!
And when it is for Kuttu's sake,
it will come easily to me.
Right now, you are my enemy...
a feared enemy...
...and someone I am starting to hate!
I entrusted her to you...hoping you
would always be there for her.
A good family background...
a good guy...
...and when we met you in person...
you appeared a loving guy too!
I argued for you!
I vouched for you to her!
And now you want me...to give you
Kuttu...to take into the future...
...that you built over her grave?
I am her Papa...still!
Will you kill me?
Will you?
And how far can you go after killing me?
Papa...
Papa!
Papa! Papa!
Papa...Papa?
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
When we left, I must have dropped it
somewhere here in a hurry.
But I didn't see you check any report
while you were here.
It must be...somewhere here...
I'll just look for it tomorrow...
it's late today.
And I've lost my sleep too!
Let's chat for a while.
What are you actually doing here?
Ok, Papa...there's no report or anything!
Sherin said your eyes filled up
when Chechi and the kids left.
Oh..that...is just...
The day I left after the holidays,
my Dad would call me at the hostel.
He would talk a lot more during
that phone call than he did...
...all the while that I was at home!
Then why didn't you just say
you came over to keep me company?
When you barge in at midnight
talking about some report...
-...your cover is already blown!
- But...you were depressed!
If I say at the outset that I am here to
keep you company, it will hurt your pride!
Let's go to the hospital.
Go!
I will take him with me.
If by any chance I am unable to....
...I will...make sure he knows.
And your wife too.
She has to know...who her husband is.
That's enough of you being happy.
The person in 108 is unwell.
- What?
- It's nothing serious.
But keep an eye on him.
- Pen?
- Here...
- Call me if there is any emergency.
- Ok.
When will Sreekala be back?
Thursday.
Is Kuttu shifting school? To Pala?
I didn't expect an answer from you.
I don't mean to ask you
such questions anymore.
Just for your information...
...I have started to make some decisions.
Visiting kids during school time is
something we don't entertain at all.
However close a relative you are.
And this is the second time...it's only
because you said you've travelled far...
...that we are allowing it one more time.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
Do you remember your mother's house?
In Pala?
With lots of trees and swings?
Let's go there...for a few days.
When?
Immediately.
What about school?
- You can join a school there.
- What?
It's a nicer school than this.
You won't have to wake up early...
class is only at 9.
Grandpa will take you to school everyday.
And Grandpa will come and pick you
after school too.
Will Dad and Mom come too?
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
Let them stay here.
And the baby?
The baby is...small...
We will have each other there.
And for summer holidays, Anu Chechi
and Abhi will come.
Maybe...we can even go over to them...
And there...you get toys
you can't get here.
And then when will I come back home?
To my Dad and Mom?
That...we will think about later.
In any case, your Mom...
...is not that Mom.
So isn't the house in Pala...
your real home?
What about Dad?
That...
My Dad will miss me.
Grandpa is alone there...
I will...miss you too, won't I?
It makes me sad that you are alone.
But leaving Dad alone would make me
very very very sad!
But I got you an admission
in the school there.
You can't not join.
If you force me to come with you,
I will run away from there.
That's for sure! I will run away to my Dad!
I don't want you to come
see me again, Grandpa.
(Faint groaning)
- Hello...Joy Cheta?
- It's me.
Sneha suddenly went into labour.
Come quickly to Apollo hospital.
We are on our way there.
Here!
Can I...leave now? Allen will be here soon.
- I was just going somewhere when...
- Ok.
Stop being so tense!
She is the top gyneacologist here...
and there are no complications...
Who are you calling tense?
This is not my first time!
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
- I want you to be the baby's Godfather.
- How can that be?
For the first child, the paternal side
has the right to be Godparents.
What kind of Christian are you?
In any case...it is not right to discuss
all that before the baby is born.
Seriously?
But if it could happen...I would be glad!
Paul Padinjarepparambil Mathai -
the Godfather!
Sneha George!
Which hospital did she usually go to?
- I am...not sure.
- There is severe bleeding.
She should have been
brought in immediately!
She's lost a lot of blood.
We are doubtful about the baby...
- What do you mean? - See...I don't have
the time to explain in detail.
- She can't have a normal delivery.
- Madam!
She can't have a normal delivery...
...so we are going for a Ceaserian...
inform the husband immediately!
She needs blood...and these medicines.
- What is the blood group? - B+...go to the
blood bank immediately.
- 4 units have been despatched on
emergency basis to the OT. - Ok.
- Please try and get two donors
today itself. - Ok.
Sreejith...
...if there is anyone you know in
Ernakulam, please see what you can do.
It's urgent.
Yes...B+...
Please call me back after you find out.
Ok...
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
...please report to the third floor
Operation Theater immediately!
Third floor.
- Sneha George?
- Please wait for a minute. - Ok.
It's a girl.
- You're the Grandfather, aren't you?
- I...yes...
- And Sneha...?
- She is stable...nothing to worry.
- Papa?
- Huh?
It's a girl...
- Did you see her?
- Yes.
The stars have...
...fallen and shattered.
How did we forget...
...the sky of our dreams?
Eyes filling...
...and hearts brimming...
...we came to know...
...the hazy pain...
...that love is.
Like a song that has its tune changed...
...the aching heart seeks rhythm.
And yet between us, why...
...did we let the silence build?
- What the mind failed to give...
- Thank you.
...was the solace you sought.
He doesn't know how lucky he is.
They said they would shift me to the room
in the afternoon.
Hmm.
I am leaving.
After the discharge, I will leave too.
To Thrissur.
With Daddy and Mummy.
I may not come back.
I waited a long time for things
to get sorted out.
There are many things left unsaid...
...many secrets...
...and you know it too, Papa.
I tried.
I really really waited.
I can't...anymore!
For both of us to be free...
...we shouldn't be together anymore.
There was only one secret - Sherin.
I held on to her...not letting her go...
...from my mind...
and even more, from Allen's.
I enjoyed his guilt...
...till yesterday...
when I came to your house.
She will not come between you two again...
...except as a fond memory.
That's my word.
Consider it my way...
...of repaying a debt I owe you.
Don't abandon it all midway...
...him...or your life together.
Bye.
See you!
I am withdrawing the case.
I have told the lawyer to inform
the vehicle owner.
- Good bye.
- Papa...
I...went back...Papa.
I know.
Dad...why are you crying, Dad?
Dad!
- Want to come with me, son?
- Ok
Bye.
The normal custom is that...
...I go to my parent's house from here.
But can I just come home?
Let's start again.
Honey?
