[In Loving Memory - Omana Amma (76)]
My dear...
Please post this as your
grandma's status update.
Why do you need to
post this as a status now?
Sigh
Don't you post your friends' photos
as status updates on their birthdays?
This is just like that.
What is this, Grandma!
I'm already in a terrible mood!
Want me to add flowers?
Yeah!
Add two love emojis as well.
My doe-eyed one,
the sweet spring hasn't gone
Your smile still casts a golden dawn
Within the silence of my soul
As I caress you like the breeze
In memory's garden blooming fair,
You shine in blossoms pure and rare.
My doe-eyed one,
the sweet spring hasn't gone
Your smile still casts a golden dawn
Within the silence of my soul
As I caress you like the breeze
In memory's garden blooming fair,
You shine in blossoms pure and rare.
As the golden moon ascends
to grace the winter's night,
It carries sorrow, soft and light
Do dewdrops on my heart's bloom start
To melt away within my heart?
Yet your presence, soaked in grace,
Spreads like peacock plumes in space
Raining down in an endless pour,
A monsoon I'll feel forevermore
Though you take no form I see,
Nor reach my hands to comfort me,
Your soul's soft whispers gently bring
A touch that stirs my inner string
My doe-eyed one,
the sweet spring hasn't gone
Your smile still casts a golden dawn
Within the silence of my soul
As I caress you like the breeze
In memory's garden blooming fair,
You shine in blossoms pure and rare
Hey, it's just one
day of work, man
Only the back side is
covered with moss.
After tomorrow, you
guys won't be available.
My daughter's engagement
is next Sunday. That's why.
If it's tough moss, just
washing won't help.
You'll need to apply
primer and then paint over it.
Come and check anyway.
Tomorrow is Sunday... and...
If I find someone to
bring along, I'll come.
- Please come.
- Okay.
- Murali!
- Yes, brother!
It's your daughter's wedding, huh?
- Yes, brother.
- The groom is from quite far, right?
The place is Pandalam.
What does Community Group's
Venu have to do with this?
Did he bring this proposal?
No, brother The proposal
came through a matrimonial site.
Then, the groom's
family reached out to Venu
through their community
group to find out more about us.
- Oh.
- So, that's how...
Venu isn't fond of me now.
He must have told you not to
give me the catering contract, right?
No, no! Since the engagement
is a small event, the catering--
I was in charge of catering for the
wedding of the girl from Mecherivila.
The papad served to Venu at the
wedding feast was a little cracked.
And now he claims that I did it to insult
the Community Group President now.
What do I say!
It's Venu Annan!
- Venu Annan!
- Murali!
- Yes.
- There's a small problem.
- Come to my house.
Okay.
[Lesson learned. Giving back
the same vibe. Fair deal]
Here you go.
There's this boy who studies
in college with your daughter
His name is Suhail.
Suhail Mohammed.
Ever since her
engagement was fixed
he's been posting reels
like this every single day.
And I only found out about it now,
when she told me. You may go!
Some guy posted something on his mobile
What's my daughter supposed to do about it?
If she had anything going on with him,
do you think she'd agree to this wedding?
Hey, Murali
Kids these days aren't
like what we think.
Even if their marriage is fixed,
they might not tell their
family about their love life.
They might elope with someone
right before the wedding!
What do I tell the
people in Pandalam then?
My daughter's not like that, I swear!
Anyway, go home
and ask her directly.
If she has nothing going on with him,
the engagement will happen next Sunday.
No, I deliberately didn't invite them
When their elder daughter's
house-warming happened,
they invited the whole
town; except you!
That day, I made up my mind
That I won't invite them
for anything that happens here.
Why are you making such a big deal
just because they didn't invite me, Chechi?
Let me tell you something
Girija isn't as simple as you think.
If we don't invite them to the
engagement, out of sheer ego,
they might even try
to stop the wedding.
Oh! Really?
Let them try! This isn't some wedding
that'll crumble at the first sign of trouble!
Fine. Go ahead and hold the wedding
and engagement after pissing off everyone.
I've said what I had to say.
No matter what you say,
I'm not inviting them.
- Yeah, tell me.
- I...
I'm feeling a bit confused.
- Tell me, what is it?
- It's just that
I don't think this marriage
is going to work.
Why do you say that?
Akhil is always so over the top
He always keeps
blaming me for everything.
Yesterday, I was in the
kitchen peeling onions
when he called me and
asked what I was doing.
I told him, "I'm peeling onions."
And somehow,
that became a huge issue!
Apparently, at their place, you
never say you're "peeling" something;
it's considered a bad word!
And then?
I mean, what was I supposed
to say? I was peeling onions!
Exactly!
I'm always extra careful to
avoid using our local slang.
But still, I'm always
the one at fault.
It always feels like they're
above us and we're beneath them.
Honestly, I'm already fed up.
And this is before the wedding!
I seriously doubt this
is going to last long.
Really?
Sit down, think it through
properly, and then talk to your father.
There you go!
He's calling!
Hey! Let me just answer this!
Otherwise, he's going
to call Mom's phone next.
Who?
Akhil.
You were on call-waiting.
Yeah it was just a friend calling.
Which friend?
If I tell you, will
you even know them?
Anjali, I've told you before
Until my training is over,
this is the only time I can
call in the evening, so you
need to be free at that time.
Didn't I already tell you that?
Yeah, you did
Then why are you doing this?
She was the one who called me.
You could've just
ignored the call, right?
What's your problem now?
Just do one thing
Take a screenshot of your
call log and send it to me.
Chetta, I don't think this is
going to work between us
What do you mean,
"won't work"?
Can you please hang up?
Please!
Can I just hang up now?
I'll call you back in a bit.
- What?
Hello? Huh?
Shucks!
Mom, the yellow
tablet wasn't available.
There's enough for
two days, don't worry.
Enough.
Suma was fuming because Girijamma from
Mavuvila wasn't invited to the engagement.
Looks like she has something
to say about the engagement.
What is it?
Hearing what I'm going to say,
don't freak out, okay?
Go on, say it
Akhil
I don't think this is
going to work.
What do you mean,
"won't work"?
Huh? What exactly won't work?
Mom, just listen to
me calmly for a second.
A perfect wedding is set,
and now you want to ruin it?
Well, I don't think
it's all that "perfect."
Then?
Who's this Suhail?
- Huh?
- What do you mean, Chetta?
Suhail?
Who is he?
He's my senior from college.
What?!
What's going on between you two?
Dad, what are you even saying?
Vavachi, tell me the truth.
Who is he, huh?
Chetta, what's going on here?
Dad, he's just some weirdo.
He's been obsessed with me for a while
and keeps following me around. That's all!
Then why is he posting
stuff about you on his phone?
Ugh
Oh my God, what
nonsense am I hearing now?!
I don't have anything
towards him, I swear!
Then why did you say the
wedding won't work?!
Even after talking to
Akhil I don't feel anything.
Wait, what?
What do you mean?
What exactly are
you trying to say?
I swear, I'll kill you!
Who's this Junaid now?!
It's Suhail, not Junaid!
Hey! Why are you shouting at her?
At least listen to
what she has to say.
Wait, so you knew
about this too, Mom?
That day when Akhil came,
didn't you say you liked him?
You all kept saying good
things about him, so I just agreed.
Wasn't it a good decision?
Aren't we lucky to get
such a great proposal?
Being connected to a family in
Pandalam; isn't that a big deal?
Vavachi, if this wedding
doesn't happen
I'll hang myself
from this fan and die!
We considered a hundred proposals,
and finally found one where
everything fell into place.
And now you want to ruin it?
Bloody wretch!
Hey Prasannan from
next door might hear you!
Talk a little quieter, will you?
My dear, this whole Muslim
thing it won't work for us.
Oh no!
Just think about it. If you marry
him, you'll wake up in the morning,
and he'll already be sitting
there, calling out for prayer!
The call to prayer happens
at the mosque, not at home.
Oh really? Is their way of
life is the same as ours?
Dad, didn't I tell you?
I have nothing to do with him!
Then why are you suddenly
talking like this about the wedding?
Dad, Akhil is extremely toxic.
When he called me today
and my phone was busy
He actually told me to take a screenshot
of my call details and send it to him.
Whose call?
My call details.
Who took the screenshot?
Forget it!
My dear
Men are like that!
It's because Akhil likes you, right?
It's only when things like this happen
that a family truly moves forward.
Listen to what I'm saying.
His first posting
itself is as an SI.
Now just think how high
he could go in the ranks.
You know your father's
situation, don't you?
All my family
members are well-off
But I'm the only one running a small
shop and living at your mother's house.
So wouldn't I have a wish?
To see my daughter
in a better place in life?
What kind of talk
is that, Murali?
Oh? So all this time, you never
felt like this was your home?
That's not what I meant, Maami
Did I ever see you
as a son-in-law?
Mom, can you just sit
quietly for a second?
Vavachi
After all this, if this
wedding doesn't happen
There's pesticide for the banana plants
right here. I'll just drink it and die!
So you've switched from
hanging to poisoning now?
I swear I'll die!
I'll show you how I'm going to die!
Nobody needs to die here!
I'll agree to the wedding.
Happy now?
["Nutcase" Divya calling]
You fool! What's your problem?
What?
Why did you put up a
status with Anjali's pics?
So what?
I don't know how.
Her father has created a huge
mess at home because of it.
She's already struggling to deal
with the guy she's about to marry.
- And in the middle of all that,
you had to stir things up.
Wha...
What's wrong with him?
Oh, he's another psycho.
Oh! So that means I
still have a shot, right?
Damn it! It's because
there's no one to beat you up!
Why are you like this, Suhail?
Hey, I made it onto
the PSC list, didn't I?
So?
- Why can't she love me then?
- Are you mad?
What do I lack?
Ugh, forget it!
No point talking to you!
Bro, Shakthi!
- Bro!
- Yeah?
Everything is in
your favour right now.
If you become strong now,
she'll come around.
If we were from the
same religion,
I would've gone straight to her
house and asked for her hand.
Bro
Should I just convert for her?
What difference will that make?
Listen, if her family has to accept
you, you have to be from her caste too.
I'll change my caste too!
That's not possible!
Then what do we do?
Bro, you need to work
this out emotionally.
Where does she live?
I know her place.
Ever since you found
out about her wedding,
you've just been lying
around here, crying like a fool.
Listen up, bro tomorrow,
we're going to her house.
And then what?
[imitating actor Vijay]
We've done so much already!
You think we can't handle this?
Shakthi is with you, bro!
So, what's been
decided about this one?
What do you mean?
Are you hanging yourself,
or are you drinking poison?
Oh, just stop it, Mom!
Akhil isn't as bad as
she's making him out to be.
And who told you that?
When that boy came here, he
didn't even say a word to me.
Well, he wasn't here
to meet you, was he?
Aren't I her grandmother?
What's wrong if he
spoke to me for a bit?
And he wants her
to send him a screenshot!
I knew it from the start
That guy is toxic!
Mom, if I get a call,
don't you ask who it is?
So, does that
make you toxic too?
I will ask!
Because I'm suspicious about you.
- What?!
- Don't make me say anything more.
Let's just get this wedding
done, Mom somehow.
You're the one who's
actually spoiling her.
- Dear!
- Yes.
Whether it's Sudha or
Murali, it's all the same.
Neither of them have any sense!
They are old generation!
- Shoo! Move aside, cat!
Why are you silent?
Why aren't you wearing earrings?
Ugh! It stings my ears.
It's too painful.
Can I take these then?
Yeah, right!
Your grandpa sold all
my gold to build this house...
And the only thing he ever bought
me after that was this pair of earrings.
I'll be wearing them
even when I die
You hear me?
I've heard this.
I've heard this a lot!
I'll keep saying it.
What was that boy's name again?
Zubair?
Suhail
Should we inform our son?
No he doesn't need to know.
Didn't she say there's
nothing between them?
A long time ago, someone in
this house said the same thing
when our father caught her.
That she had no
feelings for the guy.
And what happened in the end?
Relax, it's just a
coconut that fell.
Did mom-in-law eat?
No I kept it ready here, but
she didn't come when I called.
Murali Anna.
- Yeah?
- Fill the motor tank to the brim, Anna.
- Okay. Make sure it's done right.
- Okay.
Even though Vavachi
said that yesterday
We still need to
keep an eye on her.
I just want the engagement
to happen at the earliest.
Once that happens,
the girl will settle down.
And now, Akhil called
her this morning
She's standing there,
talking to him.
Nothing to worry about.
- And what else?
- Nothing else
What?
- Nothing, huh?
- Yeah.
Are you standing out there in
the morning with nothing on?
Huh?
- Tell me!
What's that noise?
- Noise?
- Yeah.
Can you hear it now?
Nope.
- Now?
- Yes, I can hear it now.
Yeah!
That's how it is here.
You'll hear all sorts of noises.
This road is terrible!
Hey! Did you learn
the song I asked you to?
It's such an old song, Grandma.
We couldn't even find it on the internet.
Who said it's not online?
I just listened to it yesterday!
Don't worry, Grandma!
We'll get it done.
Ah!
Hey
Not feeling well?
Get lost!
Where do you think you're going?
There are people
standing there painting.
That's exactly why I'm going.
If I don't tell them,
they'll pull out all the beans
Murali planted and throw them away.
Let them pull out all
that overgrown mess.
Just go inside!
Oh, now she wants to teach me?
Hey, Ani!
The wall is old
The whole thing will collapse.
Ease up on the force!
Dude, it's a Sunday! I was
supposed to go to Ponmudi today!
I only came for this job
because you begged me.
So?
So don't order me around!
Just request politely!
Got it?
Sir, kindly reduce
the force a little!
Boys!
Make sure the beans and
okra plants don't get ruined.
Yes, Grandma We'll take
care of it, don't worry.
Dude!
Make sure nothing gets ruined.
Hey, don't teach me what to do!
I know how to handle it.
Hey, remember at that
stammerer Manikandan's house
When you pumped water into the air hole and
ended up knocking over their gruel pot?
That was back then
Now I'm a pro at this.
Just do as I say,
and it'll be fine.
Oh, stop it!
Right now, I should be
standing in Ponmudi
Ponmudi isn't going anywhere.
No one's taking it away.
If you keep rubbing it in,
I swear I'm walking away!
Damn it!
Don't go messing up
what they planted!
Grandma's trying to win
the Farmer of the Year award!
Oh yeah? Since when do you win
Farmer of the Year just by planting okra?
Oh no!
Oh no!
Ani Grandma fell!
Grandma!
What happened, Grandma?
Get some water!
Don't just stand there staring.
Get some water, quick!
Move it, man!
Are you spraying water
with that, you idiot?
Murali Anna! Grandma has fallen down!
Come quickly, Anna!
Murali Anna!
Rajendran Anna!
Please drop me near the bund!
Near the bund.
So, you're planning to feast on
chicken since it's a Sunday, huh?
- Yes, Murali Anna.
- Rajendran!
- Maami just collapsed.
- We're taking her to the hospital.
Oh no!
Which hospital?
- Let's go to AJ.
I'll come there right away.
- No need. Call Suma and
the kids and head home.
- Vavachi is all alone there.
Okay.
Hello, Anna?
What is it, Anna?
Maami collapsed.
It seems serious
Wait, who do you mean by Maami?
My wife's mother.
Oh so it was Murali
Annan who just called?
Yes.
Hasn't this happened
to her before?
This is her third heart attack.
He asked me not to go to the hospital
and head home instead.
Is it?
Now all that chicken is
gonna go to waste, Anna
Do women even get heart attacks?
What do you mean? Don't
women have hearts too?
When will the body arrive?
How would I know?
Anyway, we should grill the
chicken. Need to get a bottle too.
- Got money?
- We'll manage somehow
- Did you stitch my kids' dress?
- Yes. - Stop the bike!
I couldn't come yesterday.
Brother!
- Did you hear about the death?
- Whose?
Our Savitri Amma passed away
-Whose?
-Murali Annan's mother-in-law.
- Really?
-Yeah
-When?
- Just now.
Bring those tubes and
tie them up there quickly!
Or else, Papputty
will take up that job.
How can Papputty take it? He should only
deal with funerals from across the river
Anything on this
side belongs to me.
Yeah, I'm just asking
you to do your job!
What's with him?
Start the bike, man!
- Let him do whatever he wants!
- Come, let's go.
Why go now itself?
We can do it in the evening, right?
Can't say anything. What if
Papputty lands up and does the work?
First of all, he's their relative.
We brought her here, Rajendran.
Anyway, she'll have
to be admitted here.
Are you home yet?
We just reached here, brother.
Suma and I are both here.
And Vavachi is at home, right?
Where else would she go?
- Get the file opened at the reception.
- Okay.
Why is the patient
completely drenched?
Oh, that When she collapsed,
this guy poured water all over her.
Huh!
How can you pour it like this?
I thought she had a heart
attack and fell into the well!
Wonderful!
What?
What is it?
Well, I heard she died.
So, to tie up the tube lights and all.
Oh no! What happened to my mom?
Bloody dog!
Who said she died?
Oops! So she didn't die?
Annan just called to say that
doctor is treating her at the hospital.
And you're saying she died?
Let's go, brother!
Fast!
Go, brother!
If we stay here, they will slap us.
Wait, let him answer the call.
Yes, Murali Anna!
When?
Okay.
She's dead, man!
Dead for sure!
Oh no!
Oh no! Mom!
Mom!
Tie them up.
Oh, I couldn't see her!
[playing a popular
Malayalam dance number]
Hey! Stop it!
Stop it, guys!
Hey stop it!
The grandma here
just passed away.
We just got a call
from the hospital.
Oh no Didn't we see her
this morning when we got here?
Yeah, and now she's gone. Maybe you
guys should play this somewhere else.
Where else can we go, Chetta?
Chetta, we have a programme this evening,
and we haven't even rehearsed yet.
That's not my problem. They
told me to come here and say this.
Listen, just stop for now.
Will you go and play for the
programme in the evening then?
Bro, but didn't they just say
the body is still at the hospital?
We'll stop when
they bring it home.
That works, right?
Ready! One!
Two, three, four
[continues playing the song]
[With Condolences,
Friends, Family & Well-wishers]
Thonnakkal, Aykuttykonam,
Assembly Mukku,
Resident of the house Madathu Vilakathu,
Savitri Amma, aged 76,
passed away
following a heart attack.
Hey, don't write the "gha" in
"hridayaghatham" like it's for "sakhav".
Use the "gha" you'd
use in "sanghi", got it?
What exactly happened?
Death, Uncle.
How did the death occur?
It was a heart attack.
Too much drinking, I guess?
-Who? Savitri Ammachi?
-Oh, she's the one who died?
I thought it was
Murali who died!
Yeah, right! Move aside!
Bloody old man can't
see or hear anything!
Hello, Dad...
Son, did you hear the news?
Yeah, Rajendran Uncle
called, Dad!
Oh
Will you be able to come?
Dad, I haven't
got my job visa yet.
It's still being processed.
So, it might take another
two or three days to get it.
So, I can only come after that.
Oh!
How's mom doing, Dad?
Mom...
We're still at the hospital, son.
Alright, Dad.
I'll call you later.
Hey the phone's ringing!
- Huh?
- My phone is ringing!
Oh.
It's from Anjali's house.
- Hey answer it!
- Okay.
- Hello...
- I'm calling from Thonnakkal.
Anjali's grandma passed away.
- Who?
- Maami passed away.
Someone over there died.
Who died?
Who is it?
Murali...
Anjali's dad.
Hey... Anjali's dad passed away.
Huh! Murali?
Oh, no! What happened?
Give me the phone.
How did it happen?
It was a heart attack.
Who is speaking?
This is Murali.
Huh!
So, who was it that
you said had died?
Maami.
Anjali's grandma.
It wasn't Murali. It was Anjali's
grandma who passed away!
Bro... Two cups of tea!
You got money?
I don't have a single rupee.
Hey, that nurse over there...
When she asked why
grandma was all drenched,
- I kinda panicked for a second.
- Why?
What if she got the heart attack
because you sprayed water on her?
What the hell are you saying?
We only sprayed her
after she collapsed, right?
Not we... YOU!
You were the one who
sprayed water on her!
Maybe she just slipped and fell...
and the heart attack
happened after you sprayed her.
Who knows
Damn... what a terrible
fate for that poor old lady,
to die at your hands!
Hey Sandeep...
No need to panic.
I'm the only one
who saw it, right?
Do you have any money?
I'd kept some aside
for the Ponmudi trip.
Bro...! Two Parottas and beef!
Rajendran Anna, you've got
some relatives in Attingal, right?
Nalini and Leela.
Give me their numbers.
I'll call and inform
them about the death.
Murali Annan's probably
called them already.
Still, I'll call too, Anna.
Let them know I'm the one
handling things here!
Their votes are still
in our ward, brother.
I don't have their numbers.
Just check your WhatsApp
family group, brother.
Their numbers should be in there.
- I'm not part of any group or coup!
- Shucks!
Hey, Kumar!
- Yes...
Did they take her to
the hospital in a car?
Did they take her in a car, brother?
Who takes a heart attack
patient to the hospital in a car?
- No wonder she died!
- How would I know?
She would have survived if
she was sent in an ambulance.
Was she even old enough to die?
What happened to her
was an absolute tragedy!
Doesn't he talk to you, Anna?
He still hasn't accepted me!
His attitude is as
ancient as he looks, huh?
Dad!
Mom asked if you are
going to the hospital or not.
Yes. Tell her that I'm leaving now.
You go ahead, brother.
I'm here, right?
So, when can we take
the body for cremation?
No one is coming
from far away, right?
Murali Annan's son said
that he won't be able to come.
Then we can do
it at 2 PM, right?
Hey!
Who put you in
charge of deciding that?
Let the community
group come first.
Why? Are they the only
ones who can decide?
Won't it be okay if the
ward member decides?
The body will be here soon,
and all the relatives are nearby.
Then why delay it?
Rajendran Anna,
let's do it at 2 PM itself.
If the community group asks, just tell
them the ward member decided. Got it?
Damn! That means
the engagement's off!
- Talk about bad timing!
- Hmm.
Get ready quickly,
we're going to be late.
Where are you planning to go?
The funeral, obviously.
- No, no! We shouldn't go!
- Huh?
When we are about to get into
a good relationship with them,
we shouldn't go there for
something related to death.
Says who?
Honestly, it was inconsiderate
of her to die at this time!
What are you even saying?
- We need to look into this a bit more.
- Look into what?
See if there's anything inauspicious
about this marriage alliance.
If you don't believe me,
there is someone you trust, right?
Astrologer Santhosh!
Give him a call. Call him.
How can I just drop
everything and come, brother?
The little one's asleep...
And the elder one has
pooped all over the place!
What kind of talk is this, Anita?
You're the Block Panchayat
member of this area.
I am, but I don't
have four hands!
Let me tell you something
You want votes next time? Show
up at every wedding and funeral.
No one votes for
'development', mind you.
I can't just dump the kids
and come out of nowhere.
Then stay in the kitchen, fine.
You got that seat
through reservation,
so that you'd step out of
the kitchen and into public life.
Then do one thing, Comrade.
Come to my kitchen,
make some rice gruel,
and take care of my kids!
I'll come there and
handle everything.
I can't come without finishing my
work and making sure my kids are safe.
Oh, do whatever you want.
What a woman! Oh dear!
Hey Prasannan, where were you?
I went rubber tapping
this morning, brother.
- How did it happen?
- They're saying it was a heart attack.
I passed by last night and
heard people crying and wailing.
It wasn't at night.
She collapsed this morning.
She passed away before they
could even get her to the hospital.
But now they're saying
she died at the hospital.
- Why?
- How would we know?
Something's not adding up here.
You got any booze?
- No, brother. I don't.
- I know you do. Bring some.
No, brother. I really don't have any.
Doesn't everyone die when
their time comes, Chechi?
She passed away when her time was up.
Whether or not the marriage was confirmed,
she would have gone at that time.
But isn't it inauspicious
for us to attend the funeral?
Chechi, the death happened in your
future daughter-in-law's house, right?
Actually, it would be
inauspicious not to attend.
What will they think of you, Chechi?
So we can go, right?
Go without a second
thought, Chechi.
Isn't this the first event at their
place since the engagement?
Go happily!
Could you also tell us
what time we should leave?
Chechi, today...
You should only leave
after 12:40 PM, Chechi.
Pisces is in effect until then.
Oh, alright. We'll do that.
Hey, we should grill the chicken.
Don't we need
charcoal to grill it?
Hey, someone died here!
Who?
Isn't that what I just asked?
- Who died here, bro?
- The grandma in that house.
Oh, she has a grandma. Must be her.
Shall we head back?
Head back?
This is a mourning house.
Anyone can walk in. No one will notice.
Come with me!
I'm your wingman, right?
Death's got no chill
Hey... what's the
plan once we're inside?
Ugh...
Why did you dust it off?
Bro, first you walk into that
house and lay on the drama.
Cry! Like a lost puppy in front of her!
When a guy cries
like that in front of a girl,
she'd feel emotionally
connected to you, man.
But her grandma just died...
Not just died;
she's lying there stone cold.
- Wow! What a lame joke!
- Shut up.
Anjali's grandma,
please forgive me!
Alright, go in quickly!
Huh? You're not coming?
Nope.
- Why?
- During funerals,
seeing everyone cry
is too much for me.
I burst out laughing.
Shucks!
- Just go, man.
- Me alone?
Bro I'm right here for you!
Go win her heart, buddy!
- Fine, I'm going...
- Shakthi's got your back!
Ratheesh, call Murali Annan
and ask where we're cremating her.
- I'll call him now.
- Hey! What's there to ask?
- Cremate her in the northern corner.
- Okay, okay.
- Hey Bhairavan...
- Yes.
You said you'd send someone to
clean up the place. Where is he?
- I sent a migrant
worker over there.
- He should be there by now.
Look around.
Bro, see that guy
hanging around over there?
- Who is he?
- No idea.
At a funeral home across the
river, someone loitered like this...
...and walked off with
Papputty's generator!
Hey!
What are you doing
lurking around here?
Where are you from?
Hey, why are you hanging around here?
Aren't you the guy Bhairavan sent?
Kumar, who is he?
This is the migrant worker
Bhairavan sent to clean up the place.
Oh, okay. I saw him near the
generator and got the wrong idea.
Didn't they give you a
hoe and grass cutter?
[in broken Hindi]
Hoe and grass cutter... no?
No worries, we'll find some here.
Come on, let's go.
Come.
Oh, sweet-eyed girl, so bright and fair
A flower in salwar, beyond compare
Though Im the mighty Palwaldevan, bold,
Before your gaze, I lose my hold
One look at you,
my voice is tied
A knot of feelings
locked inside
You soar so far, you touch the skies,
Like a kite with severed ties
While here I spin, round and round,
A dizzy fool upon the ground
Shall I take this love so deep,
And lay it down six feet under and weep?
I've been born and died before,
Each time loving you a little more
Im just an ant, so small and slow,
Circling my sour fruit below
Longing for your tangy grace,
To drink your sourness, every trace
Huh!
Hey, not that way!
Go that side.
Why are you so sluggish?
Hey, you... Go that way!
What kind of migrant worker is this?
Hey, it's here.
Get down here.
Come on, get down.
Clear and level the ground
from here to that corner.
Huh!
Oh, no use telling him in Malayalam!
[in broken Hindi]
You do this.
[in Hindi] Clean that whole side.
[in broken Hindi]
It is for cremating the body.
Okay...
[in Hindi] Hurry up!
- Kumar!
Make him cut that
jackfruit tree branch too.
Why cut that?
Otherwise, the tree will
catch fire along with the body!
No way, it's too far for that!
He just wants the tree bark!
Sly old fox!
[in Hindi] You do
the work, quickly.
[in Hindi] Okay...
Move it! There's no bark here.
Come.
- Chop chop!
- Chopstick...
What the hell was I thinking?!
He and his stupid Anjali!
Oh God!
Hey Ambi...
What's with all the drums
and noise at your place
when there's a
death right next door?
That kid won't listen to me.
What am I supposed to do?
Oh, this is the house where an engagement
was supposed to happen next Sunday!
True. It just had to happen right now!
She had a peaceful death, didn't she?
Just collapsed and that was it.
Being bedridden is so much worse.
Savitri Chechi really deserved
a death like that, didn't she?
She was such a kind soul.
Till date, she never
had a tiff with anyone,
nor did she ever speak
to anyone with scorn.
Even during the court case between our
families, Savitri Aunty still spoke to me.
If their jackfruits were ripe, she'd
even tell me to take some home.
I came here today just for her.
Both her children didn't get that quality.
Their mother just died,
and they aren't even crying properly.
By the way,
what happened to that case?
We won the case,
and we got the pathway.
But even now,
we can only walk through it.
Not even a bicycle can pass through.
They gave you access through their
land, and now you want space for a truck?
Didn't you deliberately block the path
behind your house and then go to court?
So be it! The path we've been
using for ages is rightfully ours.
It's ours by right.
Oh, now you're the magistrate, huh?
This is a mourning house!
Keep your voices down!
Anyway, aren't they going
to cremate Savithri Chechi
right at the entrance to your path?
Where??
Go take a look. Someone's
already clearing that area.
Huh!
Still... it's on their land, right?
Yeah, but do they have to
cremate her right next to our path?
They've got so much land!
Go tell them they
can't cremate her there.
Listen!
Imagine walking down that path at night,
and Savithri Aunty's ghost pops up
saying Boo and asking for betel lime.
Are you going to tell them,
or should I?
What can we do, Kumar?
Uncle was buried there, right?
Aunty did say she wanted
to be buried there too.
I mean since Prasannan is objecting,
what do we do, Anna?
It's not on his path, it's on our land.
So what's his problem?
He's a real piece of work, isn't he?
We don't need any
trouble right now, do we?
Maybe we just move it a little?
Let's not give him an
excuse to cause trouble.
Well, if you put it that way...
Alright, Kumar, you handle it.
- Okay.
You do this, brother.
Go there immediately.
I will come with the ambulance.
Just go, brother.
I'm here, right?
Oh God!
Oh no!
The ground below is all rocks.
Well, this worked out pretty well!
We can hang out here
a little longer, right?
If the actual worker shows up,
I'd run away, bro!
No one's coming, bro.
I made sure of that.
I gave that migrant worker
500 rupees and sent him away.
Look at the mess I'm in!
Hey...
Anjali's looking
really pretty now, bro.
Oh!
You should see her when
she cries and blows her nose!
Aesthetic!
She's the one for me, man!
Hey...
Some people are coming.
I'll go stand over there.
You just keep working.
I'll go...
and come back
after impressing her.
Hey brother!
[in Hindi]
Here, there... other... do it!
Hey, migrant! Not here. You...
Go to that corner...
[in Hindi] Go and work in that corner.
Hey!
How will that corner be right?
That's the sacred south-west corner!
How can this piece of
land have a sacred corner?
Don't talk if you don't know anything.
No sacred corner
for a piece of land?!
It's your sister who died. I get it.
But don't be a roadblock
for everything!
Just go over there.
Sacred corner!
Sacred corner, my foot! Just go!
Quick! Chop chop!
Uncle, time for you to leave.
Hello...
Why didn't you call and tell me?
I was told that Dad called you.
Dad called. That's fine.
But you could've called too, right?
Did you call and inform my parents?
- No.
- See? You've changed, Anjali.
You're not like you were
at the beginning.
Chetta...
It's my grandma who passed away.
She was fine this morning,
talking to me, and then suddenly...
I really can't argue with you right now.
Am I trying to pick a fight?
Anyway, you're not the same person
you were when I first came to meet you.
- Okay.
What's that sound in the background?
Is that a brass band?
Anjali, where are you right now?
I'm at my home.
- Then why do I hear band music?
Do they play band
music at funerals there?
Yes, they do.
And fireworks right after!
- So what?!
It's just the neighbours
practising something.
You could've just said that earlier!
They're calling me here, Chetta.
Can I hang up now?
I'll call you back when I'm free.
Wait, wait!
Call my mom and dad
right now. Got it?
Okay!!
Anja...
I...
Ready?
[playing a popular Tamil dance number]
- Suni bro!
- Get lost, kiddo!
- Those fritters had good vibes, right?
- Yeah, no doubt.
They'll bring the
body here soon.
Shouldn't we get the
bottle? Chip in, man.
Hey, wasn't I the one who
sponsored two kilos of chicken?
Don't play smart. Call
someone and sort the money.
Sort the money? Where am I
supposed to go at this hour?
- Here, hold this.
- What?
- Just hold it!
- What is it?
- Make sure no one's coming.
- Huh?
Hey, this is too much!
Anyway, Murali Annan's
wallet is going to take a hit today!
Death, bone collection,
mourning, grand feast...
Might as well add this to the mix!
Hey...
She hasn't seen me yet, bro.
Give me your phone for a moment.
She has blocked my number.
Let me call and tell her I'm here.
I... have a lot of work here.
I know.
I need to finish all this...
before I can go home.
- Just leave!
- Come on!
Seriously, bro?
I want to go and see my mom.
Look over there!
He will start his
funeral theatrics now!
- Hey, right here is good!
Don't pay any attention to him.
Who dumped all this stuff here?
Huh?
Then what did our community
group buy chairs and tarpaulin for?
Well, brother... um,
we didn't see you around...
Didn't see what?
Has the cremation time
already passed?
This house comes under the
Aykuttikkonam community group.
And the group knows how
to handle funerals here.
So handle it, then.
Did anyone ask you not to?
You need to move all this, right now.
And where are we
supposed to put them?
Put your chairs off to
the side, if you want.
This isn't your house
to make that decision.
This isn't your house either,
for you to decide!
- This house is in my ward.
- So I know what needs to be
done here.
- Hey, this is the community group talking.
- Then this is the
ward member talking.
Be a ward member at the Panchayat,
not at funerals!
Since when do you own funerals now?
- Bit arrogant, aren't you?
- Damn right I am!
What is it, brother?
Murali, if all this isn't
cleared right now,
the community group
won't back you for anything.
I'm telling you!
Kumar...!
You unload it, brother.
- Kumar, come here.
- Brother, you
Come here.
Venu, they're planning to
cremate her in the south-west corner.
Who made that decision? Huh?
Venu Anna, that's because
Prasannan Annan, the neighbour,
said we can't burn the body
near their path.
Which Prasannan?
Since when does he decide things here?
Come, brother.
Anjali...
Suhail...
- They are cutting
down the banana trees!
- loves...
- Hey, hey!
Who are these guys?
Some migrant worker Bhairavan brought.
Oh!
Hey Bhai...
[in Hindi] Not here. Go
there and clean that area.
Hey! What are you staring at?
- Go there and clean!
- Huh?
Hey, go there!
- This guy got me into this!
- [in Hindi] Hey... Go there!
Am I a slave?
[in Hindi]Go on!
Don't you think it's unfair to ask us to
take back the chairs after unloading them?
Listen, Kumar.
For my daughter's wedding,
they inquired about our family
through the Pandalam community group,
by contacting Venu here.
That's why.
You know what happens if
I piss off Venu now, right?
It's not like I'm scared
or anything.
- Murali!
- Huh?
What is it?
This guy's too much!
Any update on those people
coming from Panthalam?
Well, brother they'll only
leave from there after 12:40 PM.
So, in that case...
- We will take the body at 3:30 PM.
- Okay.
But he said the body
will be taken at 2 PM!
Let him keep that plan to himself.
We'll take the body
at 3:30 PM. Okay?
It's up to you, brother.
Damn, it's all mud!
- My new shoes!
- Hey...
Are these guys crazy?!
First, they tell me to dig here, then
they send me there, then right back here!
Is this her grandma's
funeral or a circus?!
Looks like they will
cremate me here!
Just put yourself
out a little for me, bro.
- Huh?! Now I gotta put out too?
- For who?!
- Come on, back me up here.
- Hey!
- Hey! Who the hell is digging here?
- Him!
- Weren't you told not to?
- No.
Didn't I tell you
not to dig near my path?
Dig again, and I'll smash your head in!
We fought for seven damn years
in the Attingal court for this path!
And they couldn't find
anywhere else for doing it?!
- I'll show you all!
- Run!
What the hell was that?!
- Oh, no!
- I'll show you!
- They're deliberately doing this to us!
- Move aside!
They have plenty of
land all over the place.
But this is where they
have to cremate her?
I said it's not happening,
so it's not happening!
Didn't my husband clearly tell
you that it can't be done here?
Huh? So now all of you
have a problem with it?!
Hey!
Isn't that Shakthi Chettan?
Look, it's Shakthi Chettan!
Who?
My college senior.
The one in the red shirt.
Oh, come on, Chechi!
That's just some worker.
No! He looks exactly like Shakthi Chettan.
Ugh, this loser is here too?!
- Who's that?
- Oh God!
This is going to be a disaster!
Hey, hey! Didn't these
people give you this path?
Give us? Old man, are you serious?!
We fought a court case and won it!
How the hell can you
say they gave it to us?
Take her inside, Prasannan.
Take who inside?!
If you want to cremate her here,
you'll have to burn Ambika first!
Hey, Sathish...
Not just anyone; the President of the
community group told us to cremate her here!
I don't care if it was the
President or the Prime Minister!
Move it from my path,
or you'll see my true colours!
Hey, Prasannan
If I've decided to burn it there,
I also know how to do it!
No one is burning anything here!
Murali, hit him!
Yeah, right!
As if Murali will hit me!
A guy living in his wife's
house might be scared of you.
But I'm not!
You're messing with the wrong guy.
Prasannan, where I live doesn't matter.
I don't live in your house, do I?
This is a mourning house.
Don't stir up unnecessary trouble.
Murali, enough talk.
Hit him!
You could have avoided
all this drama, brother.
Didn't I warn you
when you called me?
But you didn't listen!
Instead, you
listened to those guys!
Prasannan, my father-in-law
was cremated there.
We gave you this path after cutting
down the coconut tree we planted then.
My mother-in-law will be cremated
in the same place as her husband.
Why? She won't get sleep
unless she's next to him?
- Yikes! Prasannan Anna!
- Murali!
Hit him!
- Hit him!
- Do it if you're so tough!
- Break that jackfruit tree branch
and hit him with it!
This is the President telling you!
Hit him!
Prasannan Anna!
Oh, no!
Hey...
Come.
Hey!
You really think you can beat me up
and then peacefully cremate her, Murali?
Today, you'll all find out
who Prasannan really is!
You'll all be running around all day,
unable to cremate her!
This is Prasannan's word!
- That's enough! Come!
- Let go of me!
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Chechi...
Who's there for us now, Chechi?
We need to give Maami a proper funeral.
She never saw me
as just a son-in-law.
To her, I was always a son!
Stay strong, brother.
We're all here for you.
- Kumar, come and sit down.
- No, brother.
I won't sit in his chair.
Sigh
Hey
How many times
do I have to call you?
Dad, I was at the
ground in Sreekaryam.
Don't go anywhere.
You need to be here.
Okay
Wait!
Unni Chettan didn't get leave.
So you'll have to perform
the final rites. Stay inside.
We can't run around trying
to find you at the last minute.
He's always into gaming, brother.
Once he starts playing,
he won't even pick up calls.
He'll cut the calls.
Hey, Kuttathi...
Did Prasannan get beaten up royally?
What a question!
"Wham!", I heard the sound, Maami!
One punch would
weigh at least 5 kilos!
Prasannan Annan and Ambika Chechi
ended up falling into that pit together.
Was it Murali who hit him?
No It was Satheesh Annan from
the Community Group. You know, right?
Why do you get all excited
saying Satheesh's name?
Oh, don't start
making up stories now!
Is this going to turn into some
legal case or dispute now?
I don't know
Why did Prasannan
and Ambika have to go
and get beaten up like
this in front of everyone?
Wasn't it you who stirred up things
with Ambika and caused all of this?
What did I even say?
Didn't I just say that they're
burning the body near their pathway?
I never told them to go there,
pick a fight, and get beaten up!
Well, well!
So now the whole
thing is my fault, huh?
Hey, Satheesh
What, brother?
Why did you hit him?
Didn't you ask me
to hit him, brother?
Hey, I asked Murali
to hit him, not you!
I would have made
Murali do it!
- Uh well, brother that's
- What that?
Murali should have done it, right?
You really need to pay attention, Satheesh!
I'll be more careful
next time, brother...
Hey, if Prasannan goes for a case,
- will you say I asked you to hit him?
- I will, brother.
Hey, don't say that!
- Really?
- Yes.
This will turn into a huge mess!
Hey
Anjali saw us. She just
called and asked us to leave.
- Come on, let's go.
- Wait
I told her I'll leave only
after talking to her in person.
Now she's calling me to
the backside of the house.
Shall I go cry
in front of her, bro?
Cry, yell, laughdo whatever
you want, man!
- I just want to go home.
- Don't be so weak!
You're the one who's
supposed to be motivating me!
I had no idea about the change.
I wasn't informed about it at all.
Everyone was called
and told it was at 2 o'clock.
Then how did it
suddenly become 3:30?
How can they change
after informing everyone?
Murali!
Is it happening at 3:30 now?
Yes, Aunty.
Why announce 2 o'clock to
everyone and then change it later?
- Aunty, please...
- Murali!
Yes!
So inconvenient, right?
What is it, brother?
Hey, listen
When we're about
to start the rituals
do you think Prasannan will
show up and cause trouble?
You can never
tell with him, brother.
When the people from Pandalam arrive,
everything should be in order here.
If they see fights and chaos instead,
it'll be a total disgrace.
The wedding itself
might get called off!
So, what do we do now, brother?
There's no rule that she has to be buried
where Sudhakaran uncle was buried.
- Got it?
- Brother, but
Hey, I'm concerned about
your daughter's wedding here.
Not because I'm scared of
that loudmouth Prasannan.
Hmm
Hey Bhai
[in Hindi] Listen! Not here!
[in Hindi] Not there!
[in Hindi] There's a
wild jack tree over there.
Over there!
Go there and clean up
the place. Go, go, go!
[mix of Hindi and Malayalam]
Go quickly, man!
Hey!
Will your father bring
the spade for you?
[playing another hit Tamil dance number]
Where's that noise coming from?
It's Prasannan's son
and a bunch of kids.
When there's a dead body lying here?!
I don't think they're
going to stop it now.
Even if I intervene...
it's Prasannan we're dealing with.
Yeah on second
thought, let's not.
They'll stop once their
hands start paining.
Come on, let's go.
What is this a reserved forest?!
Hey, Bhai! Over there
Clear up that place!
Scoundrel!
Does he want to host his
aunt's second wedding here?
What is this, Suhail?
Now you're even
sneaking into my house?
Everything happens
for a reason, Anjali.
That's why I landed here today itself.
I've told you a thousand
times that I don't like you!
What if my dad
recognizes you?
Just leave before
anything happens!
Ever since I heard
about your engagement,
I haven't been able
to sleep properly.
What should I do for that?
God, why me?!
Anjali
You should be with
someone you love.
Not with someone your
family picked for you!
I'll do whatever I want to!
Just leave, please!
Try to understand, please
I literally can't see
myself with anyone else!
Ugh... yikes!
Isn't this the first time we've seen a
fight break out at a mourning house, Chechi?
Well, in Kollam, it's pretty common
But yeah, here, it's definitely a first.
In Kollam, everything
ends up in a fight, doesn't it?
What is it, dear?
Feeling hungry?
Oh no, at a time like this,
we shouldn't even drink water.
Not when the body is still here.
Once the funeral is done,
we can have some rice gruel.
Until then, you shouldn't
eat anything, dear.
Chechi, I'm really hungry.
Is there anything to eat?
Go and sit in the kitchen.
They'll serve a feast soon.
When we came here for work this
morning, this place was completely empty.
And look what you've done!
What did I do?
Oh, nothing absolutely nothing!
Man, I was supposed to be chilling
in Ponmudi today and here I am.
I guess that grandma's fate must
have been to die at your hands.
- What are you saying, Sandeep?
- For that you had to come here!
Shut up, man!
Have you ever heard of
the "Grandma's Curse"?
What's that?
If someone causes
an old lady's death,
their entire seven generations
will be doomed and wiped out.
Oh, shut up, man!
Don't scare me.
There is a solution for it.
How?
- You have to go to Kashi.
- And then?
Take 150 holy dips
in Kashi and pray.
Then, touch the feet of 1,001
grandmas and seek their blessings.
Yeah, right! 1001 grandmas!
Wait where even is Kashi?
Somewhere near
Rameshwaram, I think.
- Rameshwaram...?
- And yeah...
I'm feeling hungry, man.
Can you go get two meals?
Hey, boys!
Hey! Just stop it!
Hey, listen to me for a second.
What's your problem, Mom?
They've shifted the burial place
from our pathway.
Why are we still making a scene?
Just let it go.
So, I'm supposed to sit here
quietly after they beat up my dad?!
Oh, like this is the first time
your dad's gotten beaten up?
[playing another Tamil dance number]
I would've died now.
- A close miss!
- Ugh!
Pay attention now.
Crying isn't working with her.
When I cried, she just walked away.
Do you have a Plan B?
Have you ever chopped firewood before?
Damn it! Come to the point, man.
I have a feeling
Impressing her dad might be
the only way to win her over.
- So, do you have a plan for that?
- Come.
Come here.
Chop some firewood,
her dad will be impressed.
- I'm going to become their son-in-law.
- Huh?
Come on, bro You're
supposed to do this for me!
- Aren't you my best friend?
- Get lost, man!
- Scram!
- Oh no!
Scoundrel! Go on, run... or duck!
Don't let me see you in this area again!
All this effort made
you go crazy?!
Chop it fast! They have
to cremate that lady!
I'll burn everyone here!
Oh Goddess Durga!
You really think I'll just sit back
after they hit me
in front of the whole town?
Murali is going to be
running for his life today!
Murali wasn't the one
who hit you, though
It was Satheesh, wasn't it?
That guy's just a pest.
I have separate plans for him.
They will run around this place,
unable to cremate her body!
Oh yeah? Go on then,
let's see you try.
It won't be like
what you got now.
What do you even know?
Listen, before Sudhakaran uncle died,
he transferred the property to Sudha.
But he made sure Savitri Ammachi
had rights over it for life.
Now, their daughter's
wedding is fixed.
Murali wants to sell a piece of the land.
But as long as Savitri Ammachi is alive,
she will never let that happen.
- So?
- So what?
Savitri Ammachi had to die.
Brother, she didn't just die...
Then what?
She was murdered.
By who?
Murali!
Man! No matter what,
don't go around saying stuff like this.
God won't forgive it.
Go back inside!
Be a human, Be a human
Rise and fall
Murali, what the hell is this?
This is a mourning house!
Have some decency, will you?
Be a human, huh?
You can just buy the wreaths
and come, right? Why call for that?
Head first.
Uncle, watch the steps.
Come on in.
It's an old house.
Don't break the door-frame!
Hey! Head this way!
Bring it southwards.
- Come on.
- Turn.
- The banana leaf!
- Don't stamp on the banana leaf!
On either sides of the leaf.
- Satheesh
- Light up the lamp.
- Get the wick.
Then, ask the women
to come and sit here.
Oh no!
My Mom!
Mom!
[crying]
- What's wrong with that lunatic?
- What?
I have no idea. When I looked,
he was carrying the body!
Something's definitely off with him!
If Dad recognizes him,
it's game over!
How did he even know
there was a death there?
No clue.
Shakthi Chettan is out there
cutting wood and digging up soil.
Digging up?! What the hell
is even happening over there?
If someone dies and we
take them to the hospital,
don't they have to
do a post-mortem?
But these guys are saying
she died at the hospital, right?
Didn't you tell me, brother
that she was already dead
when she was taken from here?
- That's true.
- Yes!
You have to tell that to the police.
The police?!
What, you thought Prasannan would
just sit quietly after getting beaten up?
Won't you stand with me, brother?
Well, that... I
Damn, my buzz is gone already!
If you buy a full bottle to
get my confidence back...
Don't worry, this
Prasannan will get you a litre!
Will you stand by me?
Prasannan, you're a real fighter, man.
I've got your back.
First, let them do the
post-mortem, brother.
No one's getting cremated here today!
Ratheesh
Don't pile everything together and burn
it all at once. That smoke is cancerous.
Really?
The women here have to
breathe this in till 3 AM, right?
Who said that?
The Science & Literature Council.
Oh really! Murali!
Oh
Brother...
So who's in charge
of the rituals here?
The Science & Literature
Council or the community group?
Science?
You handle it however you want, brother!
Hey, hold this.
What is it?
There's a proper way to do things,
and I'm just here to do it right.
We can't even burn wicks, huh?
Hey, if you're going, I'll send you the
money. I need a litre, get me a bottle.
First, send the money.
Hey, Papputty's
coming with the tube lights.
-Hey, did you tell them?
-Yeah, I did, brother.
Murali Anna...
Who told them to
tie up the tube lights?
Brother, that was
decided a while ago...
That side of the stream is
yours, and this side is theirs.
My own aunty is lying here dead.
But you're not going to
do this for free, are you?
I might even do it for free!
Hey! Work should be
given to family members first.
Papputty
Let me just get this done somehow.
What am I supposed to
do if he took over the job?
Brother, I only get work when
someone in the family dies.
And if they take that too?
Tell him that when
someone dies here next time,
you'll give him
the work, Murali.
Right?
Murali Annan is obliged to Venu for arranging
his daughter's wedding, and he's scared of him.
Otherwise, I'd have
torn him apart today!
Give Venu an inch
and he'll turn it into a mega show!
Brother, in our community
group's area itself,
if someone who hates Venu
has a death in their family,
I swear I'll end his
funeral show that day!
Brother...
How's your mom doing now?
She was in real bad shape, right?
She's fine now, man.
She's even sitting up.
Really?
Wait and see.
I'll get my hands
on him somewhere.
So, when Murali Annan's
son said he couldn't come,
the council member decided
to do the funeral at 2 PM.
That's when he showed up and
said it can only be done at 3:30!
- How is that possible?
- Oh no!
- My big sister is gone!
- Chechi, money!
Oh! Someone pay
that auto rickshaw fare!
What will I do now?
She left without even
saying a word to me...
Oh God! My big sister, who was always
full of life... What happened to her?
What is this?!
My big sister is gone!
Move aside!
My big sister...!
This is Girija from Maavuvila, sister!
Open your eyes, please!
Why won't she open her eyes?!
Huh?
Is this how a mourning
house should be?
You couldn't even call me?!
My big sister is gone!
I don't want to live anymore...
I don't want to live...
I don't want to live anymore!
Oh no...
I don't want to live...
Get me some water...
Blood pressure...
Even my big sister had
high blood pressure...
Oh God! I don't want
to live anymore...
Will we reach by 3 PM, Chetta?
I'll make sure we do.
Stay strong, Chechi...
She asked the astrologer
for the time to leave the house.
That's why we got so late.
If the astrologer said it,
shouldn't we follow it, Chetta?
Just shift that gear!
You've been dragging it all along.
- Is it from the ladies' club?
- Yes.
That's why there are 2
fried fish pieces. Yeah!
Prasannan Anna!
Everything okay?
Oh...
We'll make it okay!
When you came here this
morning, wasn't she lying dead?
What do you mean, dead?
Relax, I was just asking.
So, what exactly happened?
Well, she collapsed here, we took her to
the hospital, and she passed away there.
- At the hospital?
- Yeah.
But I heard she was already dead
when she was taken from here.
What exactly is your issue?
Why wasn't a post-mortem done?
Huh?
Fine... I'll get it done.
No one's getting away with this.
You guys carry on eating.
Why did he say that?
That's exactly what
I'm wondering too.
Shall I run away?
Hey, don't panic
and make a scene!
Are they really going
to do a post-mortem?
We sprayed water only after
she collapsed to the floor, right?
I've been telling
you since morning...
It wasn't us...
YOU sprayed the water!
[playing a Tamil song]
Uff!
Hey, Ratheesh, can you
do something about it?
All this drumming, band music, and noise...
What are the folks from Pandalam
gonna think when they get here?
Prasannan's son is
even worse than him!
He won't listen to me.
Now, with all this chaos, what
am I even supposed to do?!
Please stop for a moment.
Please, guys...
Is this really the
time for all this?
What would Grandma
think, seeing this chaos?
Grandma isn't going to
think anything. She's gone!
Her soul might, though...
Brother, his dad was beaten up!
That's why we're
playing the band!
Oh, yeah, that's right. If someone
hit my dad, I'd play a whole parade!
- Bro, I'm sorry...
- Not my dad... HIS dad!
Sorry.
Bro, please forgive us.
Sorry! Please!
Wait, who even are you?
I'll be Murali Annan's
son-in-law soon.
I'll get you a full bottle.
Don't use it.
If we can't use it,
why buy a bottle?
I mean, don't use your instruments.
Oh! That!
We can't drink right now.
There's a programme in the evening.
Can you get a couple of
beers for each of us?
Twenty beers!
- Sure!
- Dude, your dad was slapped, right?
Dad always deserved to be slapped.
I was this close to
throwing a punch myself!
Before the body is cremated,
we need our beers.
Once that's over,
you will cheat us.
No, no, I'll get it now.
Hmm...
- Okay?
- Okay.
Beer!
Boys, take rest!
Chechi, who all are
coming from their side?
From where?
From your Akhilettan's side.
I have no idea.
Will Akhilettan come?
Isn't he away for training?
Chechi, couldn't you have found
someone else nearby instead?
If so, they'd have come long ago,
the funeral would've been done
and we could've eaten
something by now.
Hey, it's not like
I found him!
What is this?
Just keep quiet for a bit.
I'm hungry!
If it was your own mom lying dead here,
would you still feel hungry?
Yeah, I would.
Savitri Ammachi was such a
kind-hearted soul, bro.
Back when we were in school,
whenever she saw me anywhere,
she'd always hand me ten rupees as a gift.
And in the end, she
collapsed onto the floor,
her heart gave out,
and she passed away.
Damn Don't be too upset, bro!
Why would I be upset?
Man, I was just getting my
mind in the zone for drinking!
What's wrong with you?
Pass me a piece.
Well, life works in strange ways, bro!
Even this...
This very chicken was bought
by Rajendran Annan this morning.
Now, he's sitting somewhere
hungry and miserable.
And here we are, feasting
away. That's just how fate works!
Sandeep Anna...
- Shall I fix you a drink?
- Coming, man!
Don't go calling the entire village
and making a scene, man.
Just give them two
small pegs first.
Then we can make them
buy the next full bottle.
Brother, does he drink?
Don't pour him anything today.
He already had an "attack."
Who said pouring a drink
causes heart attacks?
Did Savitri Amma get her heart
attack because someone poured on her?
Stop freaking out, man!
They weren't talking about
you spraying water on her.
Oh God!
Hey, Murali...
You and your wife went to
every single house in my area
to invite them for
the engagement,
but why didn't you come to mine?
Huh?
What did this Girija ever do to you?
I was about to come...
Oh, "about to," huh?
You planned to hold the engagement without
inviting me, and now look what happened?
The whole thing got cancelled, didn't it?
You should be respectful
to elders in whatever you do!
Oh! He didn't like it!
Can't say anything to kids these days.
What is it, Murali?
I have a bad head-ache, Chechi.
- It's due to B.P.
- Oh!
Murali!
Yes!
- Move aside.
- Poor guy!
- What is it, brother?
- Ask where they've reached.
Brother, they just called.
They've crossed Kottarakkara.
Tell them, once they cross Venjaramoodu,
take the Aaliyad route to get here.
Otherwise, they'll get
stuck circling inside the town.
Oh no... but will they even
know that route, brother?
What's there to know?
Just send them this location.
- Location? How do I do that?
- Brother...
Give it to Amit.
He'll do it for you.
Hey! Uncle is calling!
Hey, son.
Send the location of
this place to this number.
It's for the people
coming from Pandalam.
So...
- Yes, brother?
- When should we conduct the engagement?
After 41 days,
once the ashes are immersed,
- can't we do it soon, brother?
- 41 days?
The ashes should only be immersed
after keeping a lamp lit
in the house for a full year.
Until then, no weddings or
engagements can take place.
Oh no!
We can't wait for one year, Uncle.
What do you mean, "can't wait"?
Then, do this...
On the 16th day itself,
conduct your daughter's engagement
and Savitri's post-funeral
memorial service.
The tarp and the chairs
are already here, right?
It'll save some effort and money.
Right?
Come on, Uncle, drop it.
Anyway, let them arrive.
- Uncle!
- Yes.
Doesn't this phone have internet?
I'm unable to send it.
I've taken the number.
I'll send it from my phone.
Okay.
Uncle...
I've taken care of the band issue.
If any other unwanted nuisance
pops up, just tell me, okay?
Oh, and by the way...
I'm in the PSC list too.
No more doubts now.
Just follow this
and we'll be fine.
Not that I had any
doubts anyway.
We've already been
there once to see the girl.
Even then, we just
followed the map, right?
Bhadra, don't interrupt
with unnecessary comments.
Sir, can you send it to my phone?
- That'll make it easier for me.
- What?
The location.
I'll check and guide you.
You just drive accordingly.
- Got it?
- Yeah, got it.
- What's his problem?
- Keep your eyes on the road!
Oh, okay.
Dude, our plan is
actually working!
- My head is spinning.
- Her dad is totally convinced!
But we need to
get 20 beers, bro.
Do you have some cash to spare?
Huh?!
Dude, once the job is done,
you'll get paid anyway.
We will return it then.
Hey, he's picking up those logs you
chopped up and taking them away!
Whose funeral
are those logs for?
Uncle, where are you
taking this firewood?
Oh no, this isn't from here!
I brought this rubber wood from home.
Anyway, a migrant worker
was chopping wood here.
So, I just dropped it in front of him.
So, I got him to chop it!
Do the work at this
house first, dude!
Don't go around picking
up everyone's tasks.
Get chopping!
The alcohol is over.
If we want to keep drinking,
everyone needs to pitch in generously.
Sandeep Anna,
get a full bottle, man.
I don't have any money.
Come on, Anna, don't
be stingyjust chip in.
I said I don't have money!
Sheesh!
You've been drinking off of us all this
time, and now you're acting like this?
Ani...
Go get a full bottle, man.
Who? This innocent
soul who doesn't drink?
Oh wow! He doesn't drink, huh?
He pours like a
champ! Right, Ani?
This guy 'poured' some in the morning.
That's why here we
all are together
You need a bottle.
That's all, right?
Fine, I'll go get it.
Hand me the bike key.
Give it!
They're saying it's an
arranged marriage, right?
Oh no, don't drink that water!
If you need water, I'll go home
and get some rice gruel water.
Poor guy what a pity, right?
I was wondering who this is.
Were you here, son?
Yeah.
- Did you recognize me?
- Uh yeah.
Then, who am I?
I know
Then just say it!
No, no, I know!
If you know, just say it already!
Uh
When did you come from Dubai, son?
I never went to Dubai.
Oh, so you're Unni, right?
Nope.
Then who the hell are you?
- I'm
- Oh, Suma's son?
- Yeah.
- Ah, got it.
Alright then.
And Unni?
Unni chettan didn't come.
Oh? He's not coming?
He said he's not coming.
Ohhh...
Hey brother, I just
found out about all this...
Suma's and Rajendran's son is the one
performing the last rites here apparently!
They're saying that Murali's
son won't be able to come, right?
But shouldn't he show up
when it's this important?
Brother, you should tell
this to Murali himself.
A flight from Dubai
takes just a day, right?
Until then, she can
be kept in the mortuary.
Hey, I have nothing to say.
Let them do whatever they want.
Just think of it as Savitri's fate.
Hey Vatsala...
You're coming only now?
Was I supposed to
come yesterday instead?
Who is it?
Akhil.
Pick up and talk.
I told you to call my
parents. Why didn't you?
Why should I call them?
They're coming here anyway.
Still, couldn't you
have called them once?
Fine, I'll call.
Listen to me carefully.
Don't show this attitude
when you meet them.
Yeah!
When they arrive, be respectful.
Should I salute them too?
Hmph!
Anjali
Just hear me out.
With the wedding coming up,
your grandmother passing away
Let's just say my mom
isn't happy about the timing.
What's bugging your mom?
I don't understand.
See? This language!
You should ask,
'What's your mom worried about?'
Oh! Just tell me the matter!
She's worried if there's any bad omen
because your grandmother passed now.
Oh, really?
If you guys were so superstitious,
why didn't you tell us before?
Maybe then my grandmother
would've held off on dying!
- See? This is exactly
what I was talking about.
- You're so damn arrogant.
- Hello?
- Anjali!
- What?
You better call my dad and mom!
Let's finish this first.
- I'll be swearing at your dad and mom!
- Hey
Hello?
Hello?
Is there anyone around like that
to tap rubber here?
Water...
- Water...
- Oh, who are you?
- Are you Leela's son?
- Yes.
Oh! That's why he
looks exactly like Shashi!
- Water...
- How's your mom doing?
Mom's fine Water...
Ugh, what is this?
Just plain water?
No, I'll get you Tang!
- Water...
- Huh?
Water...
They have only plain water!
- I hope my big sister had
some water before dying!
Water!
What's your
problem, Suhail? Huh?
I'm not leaving here until
you admit that you like me.
Say it. Just say you like me.
Do you have even a
shred of sense, you ?
My grandmother just passed away,
and you're talking about this?
Hey
When you joined in first year,
you had a thing for me.
Can you deny it?
Yeah, I did. I had a crush
on someone from your batch.
But it wasn't you.
Then who was it?
Why do you care?
Who was it?!
It was Shakthi Chettan!
Did you hear that?
And guess what?
I still have a crush on him!
I'm all powerful,
like a high-range tower
Shakthi's the hero,
rest all sour
I'm all powerful,
like a high-range tower,
I've added some rice grains too.
- Really?
- Yes.
Where's your house?
Right next door.
Yo, what's this, dude? It's way too hot!
Shut your trap, no extra talk.
Crack that soda, mix a drink,
One good sip; chill mode, blink!
Yo, what's this, dude? It's way too hot!
Shut your trap, no extra talk.
Crack that soda, mix a drink,
Once it hits; chill mode, blink!
Will you give me your number?
- Huh?
- Will you give me your number?
Okay!
98...
56...
69...
26...
I'm all powerful,
like a high-range tower
Yes!
Shakthi's the hero,
rest all sour
Aunties love him, that's his zone,
Once he woos, colors are shown
Age ain't nothin', he's got that game,
Only aunties get flowers; that's his fame!
I'm all powerful,
like a high-range tower
Shakthi's the hero,
rest all sour
Aunties love him, that's his zone,
Once he woos, colors are shown
Age ain't nothin', he's got that game,
Only aunties get flowers; that's his fame!
Dude, let's not stay here.
Let's go.
Anjali isn't worth it, man.
She's filthy.
Filthy isn't even the right word,
she's worse than her father.
Let her marry whoever
the hell she wants.
Come on, we're leaving.
I'm not coming back.
If you want to go, go ahead.
Dude, this place is rotten.
Everyone here is crazy.
This place is not right for us. Come.
My boy!
Some people get lucky!
Some don't.
What does that mean?
Dude, let me give it a shot now.
Shakthi...! You're my best friend.
- So?
- I'm leaving now!
Fine, go then.
- I will leave
- Yeah, whatever.
Stay if you want, or just leave.
I'm not stopping you.
I'm not going to be like,
"Oh no, don't go! Don't go!"
I won't say that.
I'm letting you open!
You do as you please!
Go!
- I have other things to do here.
- What other things?
The gruel you gave me was fresh.
You are my crush!
Will you give me a kiss?
Dude, who are you sending it to?
And what exactly did
you think of your brother?
- Haha...
- Shakthi, you are my friend...
I never expected this from you.
Don't I need a result for
all the hard work I did here?
I thought you'd see
her as your own sister
Are you not well?
Yikes! What was that?
Sheesh!
What's his problem
if an aunty fell for me?
Drink it!
- Brother
- Damn it!
We were out of alcohol
and the guy who went
to get more is missing too.
At a time like this, you showed up
with a litre of alcohol!
You're an angel!
A bearded angel!
Right, Riju?
Huh?!
Where's my drink?
Huh?
Hey
Who the hell are you?
Why did you take my drink?
I couldn't take it anymore, brother.
Had to do it. Sorry.
Oh, even I can't
take this anymore!
You just grab someone
else's drink and down it?
How the hell is that okay?
Here you go!
I'm drinking myself
to death tonight!
Did you see that
guy working outside?
I just gave him some water, and
guess what? He started flirting with me!
Why did he see in you that
he started flirting with you?
What do you mean?
Do I not look "flirt-worthy"?
Of course, Chechi.
So, what happened next?
He asked for my number.
- And did you give it to him?
- Yeah, right!
I had the SI's number from
Manglapuram station on my phone.
So I gave him that!
Let him sit and
call all he wants.
Wait, which guy was this?
The chubby dude in the yellow
vest, chopping wood outside. That guy.
Oh no! What happened?
Did the water go to your head?
I sent you so many hearts, and
you didn't even bother to reply?
Shall I punish you?
Shall I?
Muah! Muah! Muah!
There! That was your punishment.
Now, it's your turn to punish me, Chechi.
What's the matter, Chechi?
Please
He's fully charged, sir.
Tell him to send a photo
of himself right away.
Yes, sir!
From now on, don't
ever ride without a helmet.
- Got it?
- Yes, sir.
- Now, go.
- Thank you, sir.
What? Your dad can't
afford to buy you a helmet?
Hey!
Don't tell anyone about this.
Where's your helmet?
Sir, I was coming to the
station to file a complaint.
- Without a helmet?
- Sir, it's about a murder!
- Where?
- At Aykuttikkonam.
Savitri Ammachi.
- She's a distant aunt of mine.
- Oh, I see.
We need a post-mortem
at the earliest, sir!
What else?
Or else they'll just cremate her!
She was so full of life,
always active!
She was really fond of me, sir.
But now they're claiming
she died at the hospital.
If that's the case, a post-mortem
won't be necessary, right?
So they probably paid
off the hospital too, sir!
Hmm
What time did you reach
there in the morning?
Sir, it must have
been around 9 or 9:30.
Are you drunk?
Just a little, sir
and so is he!
Step aside, both of you.
Is there any truth
to what he's saying?
Sir, he is a lunatic!
That Murali is a respectable man.
They were planning to
cremate her near his path.
Saying that, he created chaos
over there, and got beaten up badly!
He wants to take
revenge for that, sir.
Scoundrel!
Get inside the jeep!
- You too, move it.
- Sir, my bike
Forget the bike! Get in!
Sir, he sent his photo.
Oh!
Thank you.
Muah!
- Thank you. Muah!
- Uff!
Sweet voice!
- The police?
- Escape as soon as you can!
If they catch me,
I'll spill your name too.
- What?!
- The cops will be there any second.
They'll take the
body for postmortem.
If they find out she died
after we sprayed water,
I swear on her,
I'll rat you out too!
Quick! Get rid of
that pressure washer!
That's mainour!
Dude, what the hell are you saying?
I'm out of here! If you
wanna save yourself, do it!
Hello?
Hello?!
I'm all powerful,
like a high-range tower
Shakthi's the hero,
rest all sour
Are you coming here, Chechi?
Or should I come there?
Are you coming here,
or should I come there?
Huh?!
Shucks!
Hey, it's me! I am the One!
Who's the opponent? Who is next?
Aunty! You cheat!
This is my arrival! This is the twist!
My mind is full of pure tar!
Full of soot, I am vengeance!
In my own horoscope, I am the bad guy!.
She's gone, brother.
She's really gone.
That Grim Reaper took her away.
What's the point of
living anymore, brother?
Wait Who is this guy?
It was a 78 old
woman who died, right?
Why is he crying like this for that?
You wouldn't understand, brother.
Shakthi was my...
best friend My BEST friend!
Shakthi??
That grandma's name is Savitri.
Wait, so you didn't get it yet?
That dead old lady's boyfriend...
Some Grandpa's spirit
has possessed this boy!
I need to talk to her
out in that yard.
Fine, you can talk.
Here, have a drink first.
- Me too!
- Who the hell are you?
You called me an angel before!
Angel who?
Scram! Get lost!
[directions from the map app]
Ah, stop, stop, stop!
I said stop!
Left, left, left!
I don't think
this is the right road.
But the map says
this is the way!
- Wasn't it the turn after the bridge?
-You shut up!
Turn! Go that way!
Sir, I don't think
this is the right way.
Oh, so now you're the expert?
Last time we came here,
it didn't look like this.
It's our country, right?
You think roads stay the same forever?
Wait What the hell is this?
- Drive properly!
- I think we hit something!
Oh no We actually
hit something!
Sir, my car's underbody just scraped!
You weren't driving properly!
- Oh, so now it's my fault?!
- What the hell is this place?
The GPS still says to keep going forward!
- Then get out and swim, both of you!
- For what?!
I don't know how to
drive through a river!
A river?! Where?
Oh no! Which left did you guys take?
Damn You were supposed
to take the left after the bridge!
Wow! Fantastic! So now they're stuck
across the river at Somennan's land.
I wonder if they fell into the river!
All this hassle for no reason!
Well, death does bring a
little inconvenience sometimes.
Today, the inauspicious time
starts only at 4:30 PM.
You don't have to teach us!
Who even made the rule that we need
to wait for them before taking the body?
Stop it, man!
Community groups
exist everywhere.
But only in our village do we
have all these strange customs.
Apparently, for Savitri's last rites,
someone from our own
community must perform them.
What if the community
group had decided that?
Then we'd have had to wait for
Murali's son to fly in from Dubai, right?
Exactly, Uncle.
Now, even this is happening only
because of our generosity.
What did you just say?
What exactly did
you mean by that?
Huh?
- I'll call you back.
What did you just say?
- Rajendra, what's going on?
- Did you hear what he just said?
According to him, my son is performing
the rituals only because of his generosity!
My son won't perform any rites under
someone else's so-called generosity!
Amit, come out now!
Damn it!
Hey, Rajendran
The people from Pandalam will be
here soon. Don't start unnecessary trouble.
Murali, I never said his
son can't perform the rites.
I heard what you
said loud and clear.
What did you hear?
That my son is doing the
rites out of your generosity!
Yeah, I said that.
It's out of my generosity indeed!
You got a problem with it?
Damn right, I do!
- You have no idea what I'm capable of.
-And you don't know what I am capable of either!
Why the hell should I care
about what you're capable of?
Amit, come out!
Rajendra, listen to me! There's
no need to start a fight over this.
I've been putting up with
this guy for a while now.
Murali
I'm done. You guys can burn her, bury her or
whatever the hell you want! I'm out of here.
Venu Anna, don't go!
- Let him go!
- Rajendran, please, don't!
Leave him!
Let's see what he's got.
Amit!
He's messing with the President
of the Community Group!
I've seen much worse!
- Stay right there!
- Amit! Son...
- Leave him!
- Amit! Hey! Wait!
Rajendra, call him back!
He won't be performing
the rites anymore.
Let the supposedly
deserving one do it now!
You and your generosity!
- You get going!
- Hey, listen to me!
Only you are
here to do the rites!
- No, Uncle!
- Please listen to me!
Son!
Brother, let him go!
That dead Sudhakaran
should be blamed!
He gave space and
respect to such guys!
Hey, old man! I won't consider your age.
I'll break your damn nose!
- You won't do squat!
- Calm down, man!
Did you hear what that old
man just said about my dad?
- Son!
- Let Unni Chettan do it when he arrives.
Don't go, son!
Amit, don't leave!
- Hey!
- Hey! Don't go!
Rajendra!
Call him back!
No one has to call
anyone back now.
One of our own will
light the pyre.
That's my final decision.
[in 100 metres, make a U-turn]
Huh? Why are we stopping?
Chetta, the location is shifting.
I think they sent a live location.
So what? Just follow the damn map!
Why are you getting confused?
Chetta, a second ago, it was pointing
that way. Now it's showing this way.
Oh, come on!
Just go wherever it says!
I'm unfortunately two years older to her.
Otherwise, I'd have
lit the pyre.
Call your son and
bring him here.
Let him light the pyre!
But brother, by the time he gets
leave from Dubai and gets here...
The people from Pandalam
will be here soon, brother.
If you say all that... Don't we
need some male to light the pyre?
Murali Anna
Shall we call Papputty
from across the river?
Good idea.
She was his aunt, after all.
He can do the rites.
He came all the way here but
didn't even step inside to see her.
Still, give him a call
and check, brother.
Oh!
Oh So now you need me, huh?
Fine, I'll light the pyre
if that's what you want.
But I need 10,000 for it.
Deal?
Man, didn't I tell you earlier to give
him the job of setting up tube lights?
Why didn't you give him the job?
Isn't he part of your family?
No, brother...
That...
What?
The ward member must
have arranged it, right?
Nothing happens
until your son arrives.
Call him and find
out when he's coming.
Until then, keep the
body in the mortuary.
- What else can we do?
- True.
Wasn't Leela's son around here?
He can light the pyre
as per his relation, right?
Which Leela?
The one from Madras!
Shashi's wife!
But isn't her son in
Australia or something?
No, no. I saw him walking
around here, distributing water.
Where was he? I saw him.
Oh! There he is!
Standing right there!
Fine. If it's Leela's son,
then let it be him.
Take off his shirt
and wrap him with the silk cloth.
Hey
Pour a bucket of
water over his head.
Alright, now bring the body out.
and start with the rites.
By then, the people from
Pandalam should arrive.
Go inside, dear.
Dad What's going on here?
Who is he to perform my
grandmother's last rites?
What's wrong with Leela's son?
He's family too.
He has the right to do it.
This isn't Leela or
Keela's son! Move aside!
Then who is it?
Suhail.
Suhail Mohammed.
Huh!
- Didn't I tell you earlier?
- What is this, dear?
Isn't he..
that other guy?
Huh?
What is this, dear?
Dad, I have no idea!
I never told him to come here.
You shut up!
Murali, what do you say now?
What did I tell you yesterday?
Dad
Listen to me first.
You! Don't you dare
open your mouth!
Brother
- Listen to what she has to say, as well.
- I'll speak.
I've been chasing after
her for the past four years.
Would it kill you to admit
you like me, just once?
- Such a heartless girl
- Stop it!
Brother, why are you doubting the
girl, listening to random guys' words?
I am not just a random guy!
About her wedding,
I'll have to rethink now.
Didn't you hear what
he just said, brother?
This isn't over, Uncle!
- I still have more to say about her.
- Get him out of here!
Barging into the house
and causing a scene, huh?
How dare you hit me?!
- Hey!
- Take him away!
She won't find a better
guy than me, uncle!
I'm on the PSC list, you know
Their office is in Pattom.
You can enquire there!
So, just forget about that
wedding in Pandalom, alright?
Dad!
I don't want that wedding
even otherwise!
Oh you want to
marry him instead?
Get him married to your daughter!
What did you just say?!
I didn't say anything!
Dear, go inside.
What's going on here?
No one's here to perform the rites
and yet, you're all standing
here talking about a wedding?
My big sister will lie here,
decomposing!
If you don't want that to happen,
you'll have to take her to the mortuary.
Now, no matter what, we
wait until your son arrives.
That's the Community Group's decision.
Call an ambulance.
Dude, a squad is incoming!
Keep an eye out,
keep an eye out!
Move back! Get to cover!
- Get inside the house!
- Take weapons and hit him!
- Hit, hit, hit!
- Hey, hit him!
- I am hitting him!
- You guys go to the back!
- Don't mess around! Don't die!
- There's someone here!
This is the location.
I've brought you
to the correct spot.
So where's the house?
Are you seriously asking me that?
- Who else should I ask?
- I drove according to the GPS.
You're the one who brought
us here taking a wrong route!
I told you from the start...
Attending a funeral while a
wedding is fixed is a bad omen!
- This is all your fault.
- Forget it, start the car!
Let's go back!
If Chechi is taken
to the mortuary now,
how many days
will she be left there?
That boy isnt coming for
another two or three days, right?
Chechi, who never harmed a
soul in her life, met such a fate!
Now she has to lie there, all alone
in the mortuary, like a lost soul!
Mom!
Doesn't she deserve
a proper cremation?
Tell them not to take
grandma away, Mom!
Who's going to listen to me here?
- Chechi!
- Mom!
Mom!
Chechi!
Looks like Chechi's fate
is to lie in the mortuary!
What can we do?
All the women, step aside!
We have to take the body.
Didn't you hear what I said?
Murali!
Come here.
Grandma!
Oh no!
Oh no!
Mom!
Grandma!
Mom, tell him!
Dad, please don't take grandma away!
Please, Dad!
Murali!
Mom! Tell him, Mom!
Dad!
Legs this way.
Dad! Please don't
take grandma, Dad!
Dad!
Chechi!
Oh no!
Dad, please don't
take grandma away!
We have no other choice, dear.
We'll have to keep the body there
until Unni comes.
Shell have to be there all alone,
with no one by her side.
Mom! Tell him, Mom!
Hey, take her away!
He is a useless
good-for-nothing.
That's why she is also
making a show here.
Your grandma has no
sons to perform her last rites.
Thats why shes
being taken away.
Can only sons
perform the last rites?
You get inside the house!
Enough of your nonsense!
Dont make a scene!
- Dad!
- Mom!
Mom!
Hold it.
Mom!
Oh no!
Oh my Mom!
Mom!
Stop thinking and
get her inside, Murali.
Get her inside, brother!
We've got other things to do.
Oh no!
Don't start the vehicle.
Kumar...
Oh no!
Vavachi, ask your mom to
wrap a silk cloth on herself,
pour a pot of water over
her head, and come here.
Hey! What is your intention?
Savithri Maami's last rites will
be performed by her daughters!
You don't get to decide that.
Im here to make
sure its done right!
From now on, Ill decide
what happens in my house!
Murali!
Screw you!
Don't come here
causing trouble again!
Do you even realize
who youre talking to?
Henceforth, the community group
won't be with you for anything!
No need!
It's more peaceful
without you guys.
You think you're the only
community group here?
Don't come here
causing trouble again!
Get out of my house!
Move! All of you!
Oh my, it seems this guy
has completely lost his mind!
If you open your mouth again,
I'll beat you to death and send
you away in this ambulance!
Your kids aren't around, are they?
You'll be in the
morgue for a few days!
Murali!
You will also die one day!
That day you will
understand what my worth is!
- Get out of my property!
Ungrateful bunch of people!
Rajendra...!
We will cremate Maami in the same
place where uncle was cremated!
Not just Prasannan, even his
dad can't do anything about it now!
Bloody relatives and...!
Do you have any other opinions now?
Huh? Do you?
Brother...
Kumar, bring the body back.
- Okay, brother.
- Ratheesh...
Is it time to depart? Are you going away?
Are we really parting today?
I stand alone, my heart feels bare,
My eyes just stare at empty air
Who will now stroke my hair so light?
Who will pinch my ear just right?
Who will give me love
that never ends, like you do?
Are you fading from my view?
Not hearing your child in sorrow cry,
As you leave without goodbye
Hey girl, didn't I tell you that
these earrings weren't necessary?
You always mess it up!
Move your hand.
Pause that, Ammu.
Okay.
- Wait, wait.
- Oh...
Oh my...!
Happy now?
- Five.
- Huh?!
[indistinct railway announcements]
Brother...
- What is it?
- Does this train go to Kashi?
This one goes only up to Kollam.

My dear...
Please post this as your
grandma's status update.
Why do you need to
post this as a status now?
Sigh
Don't you post your friends' photos
as status updates on their birthdays?
This is just like that.
What is this, Grandma!
I'm already in a terrible mood!
Want me to add flowers?
Yeah!
Add two love emojis as well.
My doe-eyed one,
the sweet spring hasn't gone
Your smile still casts a golden dawn
Within the silence of my soul
As I caress you like the breeze
In memory's garden blooming fair,
You shine in blossoms pure and rare.
My doe-eyed one,
the sweet spring hasn't gone
Your smile still casts a golden dawn
Within the silence of my soul
As I caress you like the breeze
In memory's garden blooming fair,
You shine in blossoms pure and rare.
As the golden moon ascends
to grace the winter's night,
It carries sorrow, soft and light
Do dewdrops on my heart's bloom start
To melt away within my heart?
Yet your presence, soaked in grace,
Spreads like peacock plumes in space
Raining down in an endless pour,
A monsoon I'll feel forevermore
Though you take no form I see,
Nor reach my hands to comfort me,
Your soul's soft whispers gently bring
A touch that stirs my inner string
My doe-eyed one,
the sweet spring hasn't gone
Your smile still casts a golden dawn
Within the silence of my soul
As I caress you like the breeze
In memory's garden blooming fair,
You shine in blossoms pure and rare
Hey, it's just one
day of work, man
Only the back side is
covered with moss.
After tomorrow, you
guys won't be available.
My daughter's engagement
is next Sunday. That's why.
If it's tough moss, just
washing won't help.
You'll need to apply
primer and then paint over it.
Come and check anyway.
Tomorrow is Sunday... and...
If I find someone to
bring along, I'll come.
- Please come.
- Okay.
- Murali!
- Yes, brother!
It's your daughter's wedding, huh?
- Yes, brother.
- The groom is from quite far, right?
The place is Pandalam.
What does Community Group's
Venu have to do with this?
Did he bring this proposal?
No, brother The proposal
came through a matrimonial site.
Then, the groom's
family reached out to Venu
through their community
group to find out more about us.
- Oh.
- So, that's how...
Venu isn't fond of me now.
He must have told you not to
give me the catering contract, right?
No, no! Since the engagement
is a small event, the catering--
I was in charge of catering for the
wedding of the girl from Mecherivila.
The papad served to Venu at the
wedding feast was a little cracked.
And now he claims that I did it to insult
the Community Group President now.
What do I say!
It's Venu Annan!
- Venu Annan!
- Murali!
- Yes.
- There's a small problem.
- Come to my house.
Okay.
[Lesson learned. Giving back
the same vibe. Fair deal]
Here you go.
There's this boy who studies
in college with your daughter
His name is Suhail.
Suhail Mohammed.
Ever since her
engagement was fixed
he's been posting reels
like this every single day.
And I only found out about it now,
when she told me. You may go!
Some guy posted something on his mobile
What's my daughter supposed to do about it?
If she had anything going on with him,
do you think she'd agree to this wedding?
Hey, Murali
Kids these days aren't
like what we think.
Even if their marriage is fixed,
they might not tell their
family about their love life.
They might elope with someone
right before the wedding!
What do I tell the
people in Pandalam then?
My daughter's not like that, I swear!
Anyway, go home
and ask her directly.
If she has nothing going on with him,
the engagement will happen next Sunday.
No, I deliberately didn't invite them
When their elder daughter's
house-warming happened,
they invited the whole
town; except you!
That day, I made up my mind
That I won't invite them
for anything that happens here.
Why are you making such a big deal
just because they didn't invite me, Chechi?
Let me tell you something
Girija isn't as simple as you think.
If we don't invite them to the
engagement, out of sheer ego,
they might even try
to stop the wedding.
Oh! Really?
Let them try! This isn't some wedding
that'll crumble at the first sign of trouble!
Fine. Go ahead and hold the wedding
and engagement after pissing off everyone.
I've said what I had to say.
No matter what you say,
I'm not inviting them.
- Yeah, tell me.
- I...
I'm feeling a bit confused.
- Tell me, what is it?
- It's just that
I don't think this marriage
is going to work.
Why do you say that?
Akhil is always so over the top
He always keeps
blaming me for everything.
Yesterday, I was in the
kitchen peeling onions
when he called me and
asked what I was doing.
I told him, "I'm peeling onions."
And somehow,
that became a huge issue!
Apparently, at their place, you
never say you're "peeling" something;
it's considered a bad word!
And then?
I mean, what was I supposed
to say? I was peeling onions!
Exactly!
I'm always extra careful to
avoid using our local slang.
But still, I'm always
the one at fault.
It always feels like they're
above us and we're beneath them.
Honestly, I'm already fed up.
And this is before the wedding!
I seriously doubt this
is going to last long.
Really?
Sit down, think it through
properly, and then talk to your father.
There you go!
He's calling!
Hey! Let me just answer this!
Otherwise, he's going
to call Mom's phone next.
Who?
Akhil.
You were on call-waiting.
Yeah it was just a friend calling.
Which friend?
If I tell you, will
you even know them?
Anjali, I've told you before
Until my training is over,
this is the only time I can
call in the evening, so you
need to be free at that time.
Didn't I already tell you that?
Yeah, you did
Then why are you doing this?
She was the one who called me.
You could've just
ignored the call, right?
What's your problem now?
Just do one thing
Take a screenshot of your
call log and send it to me.
Chetta, I don't think this is
going to work between us
What do you mean,
"won't work"?
Can you please hang up?
Please!
Can I just hang up now?
I'll call you back in a bit.
- What?
Hello? Huh?
Shucks!
Mom, the yellow
tablet wasn't available.
There's enough for
two days, don't worry.
Enough.
Suma was fuming because Girijamma from
Mavuvila wasn't invited to the engagement.
Looks like she has something
to say about the engagement.
What is it?
Hearing what I'm going to say,
don't freak out, okay?
Go on, say it
Akhil
I don't think this is
going to work.
What do you mean,
"won't work"?
Huh? What exactly won't work?
Mom, just listen to
me calmly for a second.
A perfect wedding is set,
and now you want to ruin it?
Well, I don't think
it's all that "perfect."
Then?
Who's this Suhail?
- Huh?
- What do you mean, Chetta?
Suhail?
Who is he?
He's my senior from college.
What?!
What's going on between you two?
Dad, what are you even saying?
Vavachi, tell me the truth.
Who is he, huh?
Chetta, what's going on here?
Dad, he's just some weirdo.
He's been obsessed with me for a while
and keeps following me around. That's all!
Then why is he posting
stuff about you on his phone?
Ugh
Oh my God, what
nonsense am I hearing now?!
I don't have anything
towards him, I swear!
Then why did you say the
wedding won't work?!
Even after talking to
Akhil I don't feel anything.
Wait, what?
What do you mean?
What exactly are
you trying to say?
I swear, I'll kill you!
Who's this Junaid now?!
It's Suhail, not Junaid!
Hey! Why are you shouting at her?
At least listen to
what she has to say.
Wait, so you knew
about this too, Mom?
That day when Akhil came,
didn't you say you liked him?
You all kept saying good
things about him, so I just agreed.
Wasn't it a good decision?
Aren't we lucky to get
such a great proposal?
Being connected to a family in
Pandalam; isn't that a big deal?
Vavachi, if this wedding
doesn't happen
I'll hang myself
from this fan and die!
We considered a hundred proposals,
and finally found one where
everything fell into place.
And now you want to ruin it?
Bloody wretch!
Hey Prasannan from
next door might hear you!
Talk a little quieter, will you?
My dear, this whole Muslim
thing it won't work for us.
Oh no!
Just think about it. If you marry
him, you'll wake up in the morning,
and he'll already be sitting
there, calling out for prayer!
The call to prayer happens
at the mosque, not at home.
Oh really? Is their way of
life is the same as ours?
Dad, didn't I tell you?
I have nothing to do with him!
Then why are you suddenly
talking like this about the wedding?
Dad, Akhil is extremely toxic.
When he called me today
and my phone was busy
He actually told me to take a screenshot
of my call details and send it to him.
Whose call?
My call details.
Who took the screenshot?
Forget it!
My dear
Men are like that!
It's because Akhil likes you, right?
It's only when things like this happen
that a family truly moves forward.
Listen to what I'm saying.
His first posting
itself is as an SI.
Now just think how high
he could go in the ranks.
You know your father's
situation, don't you?
All my family
members are well-off
But I'm the only one running a small
shop and living at your mother's house.
So wouldn't I have a wish?
To see my daughter
in a better place in life?
What kind of talk
is that, Murali?
Oh? So all this time, you never
felt like this was your home?
That's not what I meant, Maami
Did I ever see you
as a son-in-law?
Mom, can you just sit
quietly for a second?
Vavachi
After all this, if this
wedding doesn't happen
There's pesticide for the banana plants
right here. I'll just drink it and die!
So you've switched from
hanging to poisoning now?
I swear I'll die!
I'll show you how I'm going to die!
Nobody needs to die here!
I'll agree to the wedding.
Happy now?
["Nutcase" Divya calling]
You fool! What's your problem?
What?
Why did you put up a
status with Anjali's pics?
So what?
I don't know how.
Her father has created a huge
mess at home because of it.
She's already struggling to deal
with the guy she's about to marry.
- And in the middle of all that,
you had to stir things up.
Wha...
What's wrong with him?
Oh, he's another psycho.
Oh! So that means I
still have a shot, right?
Damn it! It's because
there's no one to beat you up!
Why are you like this, Suhail?
Hey, I made it onto
the PSC list, didn't I?
So?
- Why can't she love me then?
- Are you mad?
What do I lack?
Ugh, forget it!
No point talking to you!
Bro, Shakthi!
- Bro!
- Yeah?
Everything is in
your favour right now.
If you become strong now,
she'll come around.
If we were from the
same religion,
I would've gone straight to her
house and asked for her hand.
Bro
Should I just convert for her?
What difference will that make?
Listen, if her family has to accept
you, you have to be from her caste too.
I'll change my caste too!
That's not possible!
Then what do we do?
Bro, you need to work
this out emotionally.
Where does she live?
I know her place.
Ever since you found
out about her wedding,
you've just been lying
around here, crying like a fool.
Listen up, bro tomorrow,
we're going to her house.
And then what?
[imitating actor Vijay]
We've done so much already!
You think we can't handle this?
Shakthi is with you, bro!
So, what's been
decided about this one?
What do you mean?
Are you hanging yourself,
or are you drinking poison?
Oh, just stop it, Mom!
Akhil isn't as bad as
she's making him out to be.
And who told you that?
When that boy came here, he
didn't even say a word to me.
Well, he wasn't here
to meet you, was he?
Aren't I her grandmother?
What's wrong if he
spoke to me for a bit?
And he wants her
to send him a screenshot!
I knew it from the start
That guy is toxic!
Mom, if I get a call,
don't you ask who it is?
So, does that
make you toxic too?
I will ask!
Because I'm suspicious about you.
- What?!
- Don't make me say anything more.
Let's just get this wedding
done, Mom somehow.
You're the one who's
actually spoiling her.
- Dear!
- Yes.
Whether it's Sudha or
Murali, it's all the same.
Neither of them have any sense!
They are old generation!
- Shoo! Move aside, cat!
Why are you silent?
Why aren't you wearing earrings?
Ugh! It stings my ears.
It's too painful.
Can I take these then?
Yeah, right!
Your grandpa sold all
my gold to build this house...
And the only thing he ever bought
me after that was this pair of earrings.
I'll be wearing them
even when I die
You hear me?
I've heard this.
I've heard this a lot!
I'll keep saying it.
What was that boy's name again?
Zubair?
Suhail
Should we inform our son?
No he doesn't need to know.
Didn't she say there's
nothing between them?
A long time ago, someone in
this house said the same thing
when our father caught her.
That she had no
feelings for the guy.
And what happened in the end?
Relax, it's just a
coconut that fell.
Did mom-in-law eat?
No I kept it ready here, but
she didn't come when I called.
Murali Anna.
- Yeah?
- Fill the motor tank to the brim, Anna.
- Okay. Make sure it's done right.
- Okay.
Even though Vavachi
said that yesterday
We still need to
keep an eye on her.
I just want the engagement
to happen at the earliest.
Once that happens,
the girl will settle down.
And now, Akhil called
her this morning
She's standing there,
talking to him.
Nothing to worry about.
- And what else?
- Nothing else
What?
- Nothing, huh?
- Yeah.
Are you standing out there in
the morning with nothing on?
Huh?
- Tell me!
What's that noise?
- Noise?
- Yeah.
Can you hear it now?
Nope.
- Now?
- Yes, I can hear it now.
Yeah!
That's how it is here.
You'll hear all sorts of noises.
This road is terrible!
Hey! Did you learn
the song I asked you to?
It's such an old song, Grandma.
We couldn't even find it on the internet.
Who said it's not online?
I just listened to it yesterday!
Don't worry, Grandma!
We'll get it done.
Ah!
Hey
Not feeling well?
Get lost!
Where do you think you're going?
There are people
standing there painting.
That's exactly why I'm going.
If I don't tell them,
they'll pull out all the beans
Murali planted and throw them away.
Let them pull out all
that overgrown mess.
Just go inside!
Oh, now she wants to teach me?
Hey, Ani!
The wall is old
The whole thing will collapse.
Ease up on the force!
Dude, it's a Sunday! I was
supposed to go to Ponmudi today!
I only came for this job
because you begged me.
So?
So don't order me around!
Just request politely!
Got it?
Sir, kindly reduce
the force a little!
Boys!
Make sure the beans and
okra plants don't get ruined.
Yes, Grandma We'll take
care of it, don't worry.
Dude!
Make sure nothing gets ruined.
Hey, don't teach me what to do!
I know how to handle it.
Hey, remember at that
stammerer Manikandan's house
When you pumped water into the air hole and
ended up knocking over their gruel pot?
That was back then
Now I'm a pro at this.
Just do as I say,
and it'll be fine.
Oh, stop it!
Right now, I should be
standing in Ponmudi
Ponmudi isn't going anywhere.
No one's taking it away.
If you keep rubbing it in,
I swear I'm walking away!
Damn it!
Don't go messing up
what they planted!
Grandma's trying to win
the Farmer of the Year award!
Oh yeah? Since when do you win
Farmer of the Year just by planting okra?
Oh no!
Oh no!
Ani Grandma fell!
Grandma!
What happened, Grandma?
Get some water!
Don't just stand there staring.
Get some water, quick!
Move it, man!
Are you spraying water
with that, you idiot?
Murali Anna! Grandma has fallen down!
Come quickly, Anna!
Murali Anna!
Rajendran Anna!
Please drop me near the bund!
Near the bund.
So, you're planning to feast on
chicken since it's a Sunday, huh?
- Yes, Murali Anna.
- Rajendran!
- Maami just collapsed.
- We're taking her to the hospital.
Oh no!
Which hospital?
- Let's go to AJ.
I'll come there right away.
- No need. Call Suma and
the kids and head home.
- Vavachi is all alone there.
Okay.
Hello, Anna?
What is it, Anna?
Maami collapsed.
It seems serious
Wait, who do you mean by Maami?
My wife's mother.
Oh so it was Murali
Annan who just called?
Yes.
Hasn't this happened
to her before?
This is her third heart attack.
He asked me not to go to the hospital
and head home instead.
Is it?
Now all that chicken is
gonna go to waste, Anna
Do women even get heart attacks?
What do you mean? Don't
women have hearts too?
When will the body arrive?
How would I know?
Anyway, we should grill the
chicken. Need to get a bottle too.
- Got money?
- We'll manage somehow
- Did you stitch my kids' dress?
- Yes. - Stop the bike!
I couldn't come yesterday.
Brother!
- Did you hear about the death?
- Whose?
Our Savitri Amma passed away
-Whose?
-Murali Annan's mother-in-law.
- Really?
-Yeah
-When?
- Just now.
Bring those tubes and
tie them up there quickly!
Or else, Papputty
will take up that job.
How can Papputty take it? He should only
deal with funerals from across the river
Anything on this
side belongs to me.
Yeah, I'm just asking
you to do your job!
What's with him?
Start the bike, man!
- Let him do whatever he wants!
- Come, let's go.
Why go now itself?
We can do it in the evening, right?
Can't say anything. What if
Papputty lands up and does the work?
First of all, he's their relative.
We brought her here, Rajendran.
Anyway, she'll have
to be admitted here.
Are you home yet?
We just reached here, brother.
Suma and I are both here.
And Vavachi is at home, right?
Where else would she go?
- Get the file opened at the reception.
- Okay.
Why is the patient
completely drenched?
Oh, that When she collapsed,
this guy poured water all over her.
Huh!
How can you pour it like this?
I thought she had a heart
attack and fell into the well!
Wonderful!
What?
What is it?
Well, I heard she died.
So, to tie up the tube lights and all.
Oh no! What happened to my mom?
Bloody dog!
Who said she died?
Oops! So she didn't die?
Annan just called to say that
doctor is treating her at the hospital.
And you're saying she died?
Let's go, brother!
Fast!
Go, brother!
If we stay here, they will slap us.
Wait, let him answer the call.
Yes, Murali Anna!
When?
Okay.
She's dead, man!
Dead for sure!
Oh no!
Oh no! Mom!
Mom!
Tie them up.
Oh, I couldn't see her!
[playing a popular
Malayalam dance number]
Hey! Stop it!
Stop it, guys!
Hey stop it!
The grandma here
just passed away.
We just got a call
from the hospital.
Oh no Didn't we see her
this morning when we got here?
Yeah, and now she's gone. Maybe you
guys should play this somewhere else.
Where else can we go, Chetta?
Chetta, we have a programme this evening,
and we haven't even rehearsed yet.
That's not my problem. They
told me to come here and say this.
Listen, just stop for now.
Will you go and play for the
programme in the evening then?
Bro, but didn't they just say
the body is still at the hospital?
We'll stop when
they bring it home.
That works, right?
Ready! One!
Two, three, four
[continues playing the song]
[With Condolences,
Friends, Family & Well-wishers]
Thonnakkal, Aykuttykonam,
Assembly Mukku,
Resident of the house Madathu Vilakathu,
Savitri Amma, aged 76,
passed away
following a heart attack.
Hey, don't write the "gha" in
"hridayaghatham" like it's for "sakhav".
Use the "gha" you'd
use in "sanghi", got it?
What exactly happened?
Death, Uncle.
How did the death occur?
It was a heart attack.
Too much drinking, I guess?
-Who? Savitri Ammachi?
-Oh, she's the one who died?
I thought it was
Murali who died!
Yeah, right! Move aside!
Bloody old man can't
see or hear anything!
Hello, Dad...
Son, did you hear the news?
Yeah, Rajendran Uncle
called, Dad!
Oh
Will you be able to come?
Dad, I haven't
got my job visa yet.
It's still being processed.
So, it might take another
two or three days to get it.
So, I can only come after that.
Oh!
How's mom doing, Dad?
Mom...
We're still at the hospital, son.
Alright, Dad.
I'll call you later.
Hey the phone's ringing!
- Huh?
- My phone is ringing!
Oh.
It's from Anjali's house.
- Hey answer it!
- Okay.
- Hello...
- I'm calling from Thonnakkal.
Anjali's grandma passed away.
- Who?
- Maami passed away.
Someone over there died.
Who died?
Who is it?
Murali...
Anjali's dad.
Hey... Anjali's dad passed away.
Huh! Murali?
Oh, no! What happened?
Give me the phone.
How did it happen?
It was a heart attack.
Who is speaking?
This is Murali.
Huh!
So, who was it that
you said had died?
Maami.
Anjali's grandma.
It wasn't Murali. It was Anjali's
grandma who passed away!
Bro... Two cups of tea!
You got money?
I don't have a single rupee.
Hey, that nurse over there...
When she asked why
grandma was all drenched,
- I kinda panicked for a second.
- Why?
What if she got the heart attack
because you sprayed water on her?
What the hell are you saying?
We only sprayed her
after she collapsed, right?
Not we... YOU!
You were the one who
sprayed water on her!
Maybe she just slipped and fell...
and the heart attack
happened after you sprayed her.
Who knows
Damn... what a terrible
fate for that poor old lady,
to die at your hands!
Hey Sandeep...
No need to panic.
I'm the only one
who saw it, right?
Do you have any money?
I'd kept some aside
for the Ponmudi trip.
Bro...! Two Parottas and beef!
Rajendran Anna, you've got
some relatives in Attingal, right?
Nalini and Leela.
Give me their numbers.
I'll call and inform
them about the death.
Murali Annan's probably
called them already.
Still, I'll call too, Anna.
Let them know I'm the one
handling things here!
Their votes are still
in our ward, brother.
I don't have their numbers.
Just check your WhatsApp
family group, brother.
Their numbers should be in there.
- I'm not part of any group or coup!
- Shucks!
Hey, Kumar!
- Yes...
Did they take her to
the hospital in a car?
Did they take her in a car, brother?
Who takes a heart attack
patient to the hospital in a car?
- No wonder she died!
- How would I know?
She would have survived if
she was sent in an ambulance.
Was she even old enough to die?
What happened to her
was an absolute tragedy!
Doesn't he talk to you, Anna?
He still hasn't accepted me!
His attitude is as
ancient as he looks, huh?
Dad!
Mom asked if you are
going to the hospital or not.
Yes. Tell her that I'm leaving now.
You go ahead, brother.
I'm here, right?
So, when can we take
the body for cremation?
No one is coming
from far away, right?
Murali Annan's son said
that he won't be able to come.
Then we can do
it at 2 PM, right?
Hey!
Who put you in
charge of deciding that?
Let the community
group come first.
Why? Are they the only
ones who can decide?
Won't it be okay if the
ward member decides?
The body will be here soon,
and all the relatives are nearby.
Then why delay it?
Rajendran Anna,
let's do it at 2 PM itself.
If the community group asks, just tell
them the ward member decided. Got it?
Damn! That means
the engagement's off!
- Talk about bad timing!
- Hmm.
Get ready quickly,
we're going to be late.
Where are you planning to go?
The funeral, obviously.
- No, no! We shouldn't go!
- Huh?
When we are about to get into
a good relationship with them,
we shouldn't go there for
something related to death.
Says who?
Honestly, it was inconsiderate
of her to die at this time!
What are you even saying?
- We need to look into this a bit more.
- Look into what?
See if there's anything inauspicious
about this marriage alliance.
If you don't believe me,
there is someone you trust, right?
Astrologer Santhosh!
Give him a call. Call him.
How can I just drop
everything and come, brother?
The little one's asleep...
And the elder one has
pooped all over the place!
What kind of talk is this, Anita?
You're the Block Panchayat
member of this area.
I am, but I don't
have four hands!
Let me tell you something
You want votes next time? Show
up at every wedding and funeral.
No one votes for
'development', mind you.
I can't just dump the kids
and come out of nowhere.
Then stay in the kitchen, fine.
You got that seat
through reservation,
so that you'd step out of
the kitchen and into public life.
Then do one thing, Comrade.
Come to my kitchen,
make some rice gruel,
and take care of my kids!
I'll come there and
handle everything.
I can't come without finishing my
work and making sure my kids are safe.
Oh, do whatever you want.
What a woman! Oh dear!
Hey Prasannan, where were you?
I went rubber tapping
this morning, brother.
- How did it happen?
- They're saying it was a heart attack.
I passed by last night and
heard people crying and wailing.
It wasn't at night.
She collapsed this morning.
She passed away before they
could even get her to the hospital.
But now they're saying
she died at the hospital.
- Why?
- How would we know?
Something's not adding up here.
You got any booze?
- No, brother. I don't.
- I know you do. Bring some.
No, brother. I really don't have any.
Doesn't everyone die when
their time comes, Chechi?
She passed away when her time was up.
Whether or not the marriage was confirmed,
she would have gone at that time.
But isn't it inauspicious
for us to attend the funeral?
Chechi, the death happened in your
future daughter-in-law's house, right?
Actually, it would be
inauspicious not to attend.
What will they think of you, Chechi?
So we can go, right?
Go without a second
thought, Chechi.
Isn't this the first event at their
place since the engagement?
Go happily!
Could you also tell us
what time we should leave?
Chechi, today...
You should only leave
after 12:40 PM, Chechi.
Pisces is in effect until then.
Oh, alright. We'll do that.
Hey, we should grill the chicken.
Don't we need
charcoal to grill it?
Hey, someone died here!
Who?
Isn't that what I just asked?
- Who died here, bro?
- The grandma in that house.
Oh, she has a grandma. Must be her.
Shall we head back?
Head back?
This is a mourning house.
Anyone can walk in. No one will notice.
Come with me!
I'm your wingman, right?
Death's got no chill
Hey... what's the
plan once we're inside?
Ugh...
Why did you dust it off?
Bro, first you walk into that
house and lay on the drama.
Cry! Like a lost puppy in front of her!
When a guy cries
like that in front of a girl,
she'd feel emotionally
connected to you, man.
But her grandma just died...
Not just died;
she's lying there stone cold.
- Wow! What a lame joke!
- Shut up.
Anjali's grandma,
please forgive me!
Alright, go in quickly!
Huh? You're not coming?
Nope.
- Why?
- During funerals,
seeing everyone cry
is too much for me.
I burst out laughing.
Shucks!
- Just go, man.
- Me alone?
Bro I'm right here for you!
Go win her heart, buddy!
- Fine, I'm going...
- Shakthi's got your back!
Ratheesh, call Murali Annan
and ask where we're cremating her.
- I'll call him now.
- Hey! What's there to ask?
- Cremate her in the northern corner.
- Okay, okay.
- Hey Bhairavan...
- Yes.
You said you'd send someone to
clean up the place. Where is he?
- I sent a migrant
worker over there.
- He should be there by now.
Look around.
Bro, see that guy
hanging around over there?
- Who is he?
- No idea.
At a funeral home across the
river, someone loitered like this...
...and walked off with
Papputty's generator!
Hey!
What are you doing
lurking around here?
Where are you from?
Hey, why are you hanging around here?
Aren't you the guy Bhairavan sent?
Kumar, who is he?
This is the migrant worker
Bhairavan sent to clean up the place.
Oh, okay. I saw him near the
generator and got the wrong idea.
Didn't they give you a
hoe and grass cutter?
[in broken Hindi]
Hoe and grass cutter... no?
No worries, we'll find some here.
Come on, let's go.
Come.
Oh, sweet-eyed girl, so bright and fair
A flower in salwar, beyond compare
Though Im the mighty Palwaldevan, bold,
Before your gaze, I lose my hold
One look at you,
my voice is tied
A knot of feelings
locked inside
You soar so far, you touch the skies,
Like a kite with severed ties
While here I spin, round and round,
A dizzy fool upon the ground
Shall I take this love so deep,
And lay it down six feet under and weep?
I've been born and died before,
Each time loving you a little more
Im just an ant, so small and slow,
Circling my sour fruit below
Longing for your tangy grace,
To drink your sourness, every trace
Huh!
Hey, not that way!
Go that side.
Why are you so sluggish?
Hey, you... Go that way!
What kind of migrant worker is this?
Hey, it's here.
Get down here.
Come on, get down.
Clear and level the ground
from here to that corner.
Huh!
Oh, no use telling him in Malayalam!
[in broken Hindi]
You do this.
[in Hindi] Clean that whole side.
[in broken Hindi]
It is for cremating the body.
Okay...
[in Hindi] Hurry up!
- Kumar!
Make him cut that
jackfruit tree branch too.
Why cut that?
Otherwise, the tree will
catch fire along with the body!
No way, it's too far for that!
He just wants the tree bark!
Sly old fox!
[in Hindi] You do
the work, quickly.
[in Hindi] Okay...
Move it! There's no bark here.
Come.
- Chop chop!
- Chopstick...
What the hell was I thinking?!
He and his stupid Anjali!
Oh God!
Hey Ambi...
What's with all the drums
and noise at your place
when there's a
death right next door?
That kid won't listen to me.
What am I supposed to do?
Oh, this is the house where an engagement
was supposed to happen next Sunday!
True. It just had to happen right now!
She had a peaceful death, didn't she?
Just collapsed and that was it.
Being bedridden is so much worse.
Savitri Chechi really deserved
a death like that, didn't she?
She was such a kind soul.
Till date, she never
had a tiff with anyone,
nor did she ever speak
to anyone with scorn.
Even during the court case between our
families, Savitri Aunty still spoke to me.
If their jackfruits were ripe, she'd
even tell me to take some home.
I came here today just for her.
Both her children didn't get that quality.
Their mother just died,
and they aren't even crying properly.
By the way,
what happened to that case?
We won the case,
and we got the pathway.
But even now,
we can only walk through it.
Not even a bicycle can pass through.
They gave you access through their
land, and now you want space for a truck?
Didn't you deliberately block the path
behind your house and then go to court?
So be it! The path we've been
using for ages is rightfully ours.
It's ours by right.
Oh, now you're the magistrate, huh?
This is a mourning house!
Keep your voices down!
Anyway, aren't they going
to cremate Savithri Chechi
right at the entrance to your path?
Where??
Go take a look. Someone's
already clearing that area.
Huh!
Still... it's on their land, right?
Yeah, but do they have to
cremate her right next to our path?
They've got so much land!
Go tell them they
can't cremate her there.
Listen!
Imagine walking down that path at night,
and Savithri Aunty's ghost pops up
saying Boo and asking for betel lime.
Are you going to tell them,
or should I?
What can we do, Kumar?
Uncle was buried there, right?
Aunty did say she wanted
to be buried there too.
I mean since Prasannan is objecting,
what do we do, Anna?
It's not on his path, it's on our land.
So what's his problem?
He's a real piece of work, isn't he?
We don't need any
trouble right now, do we?
Maybe we just move it a little?
Let's not give him an
excuse to cause trouble.
Well, if you put it that way...
Alright, Kumar, you handle it.
- Okay.
You do this, brother.
Go there immediately.
I will come with the ambulance.
Just go, brother.
I'm here, right?
Oh God!
Oh no!
The ground below is all rocks.
Well, this worked out pretty well!
We can hang out here
a little longer, right?
If the actual worker shows up,
I'd run away, bro!
No one's coming, bro.
I made sure of that.
I gave that migrant worker
500 rupees and sent him away.
Look at the mess I'm in!
Hey...
Anjali's looking
really pretty now, bro.
Oh!
You should see her when
she cries and blows her nose!
Aesthetic!
She's the one for me, man!
Hey...
Some people are coming.
I'll go stand over there.
You just keep working.
I'll go...
and come back
after impressing her.
Hey brother!
[in Hindi]
Here, there... other... do it!
Hey, migrant! Not here. You...
Go to that corner...
[in Hindi] Go and work in that corner.
Hey!
How will that corner be right?
That's the sacred south-west corner!
How can this piece of
land have a sacred corner?
Don't talk if you don't know anything.
No sacred corner
for a piece of land?!
It's your sister who died. I get it.
But don't be a roadblock
for everything!
Just go over there.
Sacred corner!
Sacred corner, my foot! Just go!
Quick! Chop chop!
Uncle, time for you to leave.
Hello...
Why didn't you call and tell me?
I was told that Dad called you.
Dad called. That's fine.
But you could've called too, right?
Did you call and inform my parents?
- No.
- See? You've changed, Anjali.
You're not like you were
at the beginning.
Chetta...
It's my grandma who passed away.
She was fine this morning,
talking to me, and then suddenly...
I really can't argue with you right now.
Am I trying to pick a fight?
Anyway, you're not the same person
you were when I first came to meet you.
- Okay.
What's that sound in the background?
Is that a brass band?
Anjali, where are you right now?
I'm at my home.
- Then why do I hear band music?
Do they play band
music at funerals there?
Yes, they do.
And fireworks right after!
- So what?!
It's just the neighbours
practising something.
You could've just said that earlier!
They're calling me here, Chetta.
Can I hang up now?
I'll call you back when I'm free.
Wait, wait!
Call my mom and dad
right now. Got it?
Okay!!
Anja...
I...
Ready?
[playing a popular Tamil dance number]
- Suni bro!
- Get lost, kiddo!
- Those fritters had good vibes, right?
- Yeah, no doubt.
They'll bring the
body here soon.
Shouldn't we get the
bottle? Chip in, man.
Hey, wasn't I the one who
sponsored two kilos of chicken?
Don't play smart. Call
someone and sort the money.
Sort the money? Where am I
supposed to go at this hour?
- Here, hold this.
- What?
- Just hold it!
- What is it?
- Make sure no one's coming.
- Huh?
Hey, this is too much!
Anyway, Murali Annan's
wallet is going to take a hit today!
Death, bone collection,
mourning, grand feast...
Might as well add this to the mix!
Hey...
She hasn't seen me yet, bro.
Give me your phone for a moment.
She has blocked my number.
Let me call and tell her I'm here.
I... have a lot of work here.
I know.
I need to finish all this...
before I can go home.
- Just leave!
- Come on!
Seriously, bro?
I want to go and see my mom.
Look over there!
He will start his
funeral theatrics now!
- Hey, right here is good!
Don't pay any attention to him.
Who dumped all this stuff here?
Huh?
Then what did our community
group buy chairs and tarpaulin for?
Well, brother... um,
we didn't see you around...
Didn't see what?
Has the cremation time
already passed?
This house comes under the
Aykuttikkonam community group.
And the group knows how
to handle funerals here.
So handle it, then.
Did anyone ask you not to?
You need to move all this, right now.
And where are we
supposed to put them?
Put your chairs off to
the side, if you want.
This isn't your house
to make that decision.
This isn't your house either,
for you to decide!
- This house is in my ward.
- So I know what needs to be
done here.
- Hey, this is the community group talking.
- Then this is the
ward member talking.
Be a ward member at the Panchayat,
not at funerals!
Since when do you own funerals now?
- Bit arrogant, aren't you?
- Damn right I am!
What is it, brother?
Murali, if all this isn't
cleared right now,
the community group
won't back you for anything.
I'm telling you!
Kumar...!
You unload it, brother.
- Kumar, come here.
- Brother, you
Come here.
Venu, they're planning to
cremate her in the south-west corner.
Who made that decision? Huh?
Venu Anna, that's because
Prasannan Annan, the neighbour,
said we can't burn the body
near their path.
Which Prasannan?
Since when does he decide things here?
Come, brother.
Anjali...
Suhail...
- They are cutting
down the banana trees!
- loves...
- Hey, hey!
Who are these guys?
Some migrant worker Bhairavan brought.
Oh!
Hey Bhai...
[in Hindi] Not here. Go
there and clean that area.
Hey! What are you staring at?
- Go there and clean!
- Huh?
Hey, go there!
- This guy got me into this!
- [in Hindi] Hey... Go there!
Am I a slave?
[in Hindi]Go on!
Don't you think it's unfair to ask us to
take back the chairs after unloading them?
Listen, Kumar.
For my daughter's wedding,
they inquired about our family
through the Pandalam community group,
by contacting Venu here.
That's why.
You know what happens if
I piss off Venu now, right?
It's not like I'm scared
or anything.
- Murali!
- Huh?
What is it?
This guy's too much!
Any update on those people
coming from Panthalam?
Well, brother they'll only
leave from there after 12:40 PM.
So, in that case...
- We will take the body at 3:30 PM.
- Okay.
But he said the body
will be taken at 2 PM!
Let him keep that plan to himself.
We'll take the body
at 3:30 PM. Okay?
It's up to you, brother.
Damn, it's all mud!
- My new shoes!
- Hey...
Are these guys crazy?!
First, they tell me to dig here, then
they send me there, then right back here!
Is this her grandma's
funeral or a circus?!
Looks like they will
cremate me here!
Just put yourself
out a little for me, bro.
- Huh?! Now I gotta put out too?
- For who?!
- Come on, back me up here.
- Hey!
- Hey! Who the hell is digging here?
- Him!
- Weren't you told not to?
- No.
Didn't I tell you
not to dig near my path?
Dig again, and I'll smash your head in!
We fought for seven damn years
in the Attingal court for this path!
And they couldn't find
anywhere else for doing it?!
- I'll show you all!
- Run!
What the hell was that?!
- Oh, no!
- I'll show you!
- They're deliberately doing this to us!
- Move aside!
They have plenty of
land all over the place.
But this is where they
have to cremate her?
I said it's not happening,
so it's not happening!
Didn't my husband clearly tell
you that it can't be done here?
Huh? So now all of you
have a problem with it?!
Hey!
Isn't that Shakthi Chettan?
Look, it's Shakthi Chettan!
Who?
My college senior.
The one in the red shirt.
Oh, come on, Chechi!
That's just some worker.
No! He looks exactly like Shakthi Chettan.
Ugh, this loser is here too?!
- Who's that?
- Oh God!
This is going to be a disaster!
Hey, hey! Didn't these
people give you this path?
Give us? Old man, are you serious?!
We fought a court case and won it!
How the hell can you
say they gave it to us?
Take her inside, Prasannan.
Take who inside?!
If you want to cremate her here,
you'll have to burn Ambika first!
Hey, Sathish...
Not just anyone; the President of the
community group told us to cremate her here!
I don't care if it was the
President or the Prime Minister!
Move it from my path,
or you'll see my true colours!
Hey, Prasannan
If I've decided to burn it there,
I also know how to do it!
No one is burning anything here!
Murali, hit him!
Yeah, right!
As if Murali will hit me!
A guy living in his wife's
house might be scared of you.
But I'm not!
You're messing with the wrong guy.
Prasannan, where I live doesn't matter.
I don't live in your house, do I?
This is a mourning house.
Don't stir up unnecessary trouble.
Murali, enough talk.
Hit him!
You could have avoided
all this drama, brother.
Didn't I warn you
when you called me?
But you didn't listen!
Instead, you
listened to those guys!
Prasannan, my father-in-law
was cremated there.
We gave you this path after cutting
down the coconut tree we planted then.
My mother-in-law will be cremated
in the same place as her husband.
Why? She won't get sleep
unless she's next to him?
- Yikes! Prasannan Anna!
- Murali!
Hit him!
- Hit him!
- Do it if you're so tough!
- Break that jackfruit tree branch
and hit him with it!
This is the President telling you!
Hit him!
Prasannan Anna!
Oh, no!
Hey...
Come.
Hey!
You really think you can beat me up
and then peacefully cremate her, Murali?
Today, you'll all find out
who Prasannan really is!
You'll all be running around all day,
unable to cremate her!
This is Prasannan's word!
- That's enough! Come!
- Let go of me!
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Chechi...
Who's there for us now, Chechi?
We need to give Maami a proper funeral.
She never saw me
as just a son-in-law.
To her, I was always a son!
Stay strong, brother.
We're all here for you.
- Kumar, come and sit down.
- No, brother.
I won't sit in his chair.
Sigh
Hey
How many times
do I have to call you?
Dad, I was at the
ground in Sreekaryam.
Don't go anywhere.
You need to be here.
Okay
Wait!
Unni Chettan didn't get leave.
So you'll have to perform
the final rites. Stay inside.
We can't run around trying
to find you at the last minute.
He's always into gaming, brother.
Once he starts playing,
he won't even pick up calls.
He'll cut the calls.
Hey, Kuttathi...
Did Prasannan get beaten up royally?
What a question!
"Wham!", I heard the sound, Maami!
One punch would
weigh at least 5 kilos!
Prasannan Annan and Ambika Chechi
ended up falling into that pit together.
Was it Murali who hit him?
No It was Satheesh Annan from
the Community Group. You know, right?
Why do you get all excited
saying Satheesh's name?
Oh, don't start
making up stories now!
Is this going to turn into some
legal case or dispute now?
I don't know
Why did Prasannan
and Ambika have to go
and get beaten up like
this in front of everyone?
Wasn't it you who stirred up things
with Ambika and caused all of this?
What did I even say?
Didn't I just say that they're
burning the body near their pathway?
I never told them to go there,
pick a fight, and get beaten up!
Well, well!
So now the whole
thing is my fault, huh?
Hey, Satheesh
What, brother?
Why did you hit him?
Didn't you ask me
to hit him, brother?
Hey, I asked Murali
to hit him, not you!
I would have made
Murali do it!
- Uh well, brother that's
- What that?
Murali should have done it, right?
You really need to pay attention, Satheesh!
I'll be more careful
next time, brother...
Hey, if Prasannan goes for a case,
- will you say I asked you to hit him?
- I will, brother.
Hey, don't say that!
- Really?
- Yes.
This will turn into a huge mess!
Hey
Anjali saw us. She just
called and asked us to leave.
- Come on, let's go.
- Wait
I told her I'll leave only
after talking to her in person.
Now she's calling me to
the backside of the house.
Shall I go cry
in front of her, bro?
Cry, yell, laughdo whatever
you want, man!
- I just want to go home.
- Don't be so weak!
You're the one who's
supposed to be motivating me!
I had no idea about the change.
I wasn't informed about it at all.
Everyone was called
and told it was at 2 o'clock.
Then how did it
suddenly become 3:30?
How can they change
after informing everyone?
Murali!
Is it happening at 3:30 now?
Yes, Aunty.
Why announce 2 o'clock to
everyone and then change it later?
- Aunty, please...
- Murali!
Yes!
So inconvenient, right?
What is it, brother?
Hey, listen
When we're about
to start the rituals
do you think Prasannan will
show up and cause trouble?
You can never
tell with him, brother.
When the people from Pandalam arrive,
everything should be in order here.
If they see fights and chaos instead,
it'll be a total disgrace.
The wedding itself
might get called off!
So, what do we do now, brother?
There's no rule that she has to be buried
where Sudhakaran uncle was buried.
- Got it?
- Brother, but
Hey, I'm concerned about
your daughter's wedding here.
Not because I'm scared of
that loudmouth Prasannan.
Hmm
Hey Bhai
[in Hindi] Listen! Not here!
[in Hindi] Not there!
[in Hindi] There's a
wild jack tree over there.
Over there!
Go there and clean up
the place. Go, go, go!
[mix of Hindi and Malayalam]
Go quickly, man!
Hey!
Will your father bring
the spade for you?
[playing another hit Tamil dance number]
Where's that noise coming from?
It's Prasannan's son
and a bunch of kids.
When there's a dead body lying here?!
I don't think they're
going to stop it now.
Even if I intervene...
it's Prasannan we're dealing with.
Yeah on second
thought, let's not.
They'll stop once their
hands start paining.
Come on, let's go.
What is this a reserved forest?!
Hey, Bhai! Over there
Clear up that place!
Scoundrel!
Does he want to host his
aunt's second wedding here?
What is this, Suhail?
Now you're even
sneaking into my house?
Everything happens
for a reason, Anjali.
That's why I landed here today itself.
I've told you a thousand
times that I don't like you!
What if my dad
recognizes you?
Just leave before
anything happens!
Ever since I heard
about your engagement,
I haven't been able
to sleep properly.
What should I do for that?
God, why me?!
Anjali
You should be with
someone you love.
Not with someone your
family picked for you!
I'll do whatever I want to!
Just leave, please!
Try to understand, please
I literally can't see
myself with anyone else!
Ugh... yikes!
Isn't this the first time we've seen a
fight break out at a mourning house, Chechi?
Well, in Kollam, it's pretty common
But yeah, here, it's definitely a first.
In Kollam, everything
ends up in a fight, doesn't it?
What is it, dear?
Feeling hungry?
Oh no, at a time like this,
we shouldn't even drink water.
Not when the body is still here.
Once the funeral is done,
we can have some rice gruel.
Until then, you shouldn't
eat anything, dear.
Chechi, I'm really hungry.
Is there anything to eat?
Go and sit in the kitchen.
They'll serve a feast soon.
When we came here for work this
morning, this place was completely empty.
And look what you've done!
What did I do?
Oh, nothing absolutely nothing!
Man, I was supposed to be chilling
in Ponmudi today and here I am.
I guess that grandma's fate must
have been to die at your hands.
- What are you saying, Sandeep?
- For that you had to come here!
Shut up, man!
Have you ever heard of
the "Grandma's Curse"?
What's that?
If someone causes
an old lady's death,
their entire seven generations
will be doomed and wiped out.
Oh, shut up, man!
Don't scare me.
There is a solution for it.
How?
- You have to go to Kashi.
- And then?
Take 150 holy dips
in Kashi and pray.
Then, touch the feet of 1,001
grandmas and seek their blessings.
Yeah, right! 1001 grandmas!
Wait where even is Kashi?
Somewhere near
Rameshwaram, I think.
- Rameshwaram...?
- And yeah...
I'm feeling hungry, man.
Can you go get two meals?
Hey, boys!
Hey! Just stop it!
Hey, listen to me for a second.
What's your problem, Mom?
They've shifted the burial place
from our pathway.
Why are we still making a scene?
Just let it go.
So, I'm supposed to sit here
quietly after they beat up my dad?!
Oh, like this is the first time
your dad's gotten beaten up?
[playing another Tamil dance number]
I would've died now.
- A close miss!
- Ugh!
Pay attention now.
Crying isn't working with her.
When I cried, she just walked away.
Do you have a Plan B?
Have you ever chopped firewood before?
Damn it! Come to the point, man.
I have a feeling
Impressing her dad might be
the only way to win her over.
- So, do you have a plan for that?
- Come.
Come here.
Chop some firewood,
her dad will be impressed.
- I'm going to become their son-in-law.
- Huh?
Come on, bro You're
supposed to do this for me!
- Aren't you my best friend?
- Get lost, man!
- Scram!
- Oh no!
Scoundrel! Go on, run... or duck!
Don't let me see you in this area again!
All this effort made
you go crazy?!
Chop it fast! They have
to cremate that lady!
I'll burn everyone here!
Oh Goddess Durga!
You really think I'll just sit back
after they hit me
in front of the whole town?
Murali is going to be
running for his life today!
Murali wasn't the one
who hit you, though
It was Satheesh, wasn't it?
That guy's just a pest.
I have separate plans for him.
They will run around this place,
unable to cremate her body!
Oh yeah? Go on then,
let's see you try.
It won't be like
what you got now.
What do you even know?
Listen, before Sudhakaran uncle died,
he transferred the property to Sudha.
But he made sure Savitri Ammachi
had rights over it for life.
Now, their daughter's
wedding is fixed.
Murali wants to sell a piece of the land.
But as long as Savitri Ammachi is alive,
she will never let that happen.
- So?
- So what?
Savitri Ammachi had to die.
Brother, she didn't just die...
Then what?
She was murdered.
By who?
Murali!
Man! No matter what,
don't go around saying stuff like this.
God won't forgive it.
Go back inside!
Be a human, Be a human
Rise and fall
Murali, what the hell is this?
This is a mourning house!
Have some decency, will you?
Be a human, huh?
You can just buy the wreaths
and come, right? Why call for that?
Head first.
Uncle, watch the steps.
Come on in.
It's an old house.
Don't break the door-frame!
Hey! Head this way!
Bring it southwards.
- Come on.
- Turn.
- The banana leaf!
- Don't stamp on the banana leaf!
On either sides of the leaf.
- Satheesh
- Light up the lamp.
- Get the wick.
Then, ask the women
to come and sit here.
Oh no!
My Mom!
Mom!
[crying]
- What's wrong with that lunatic?
- What?
I have no idea. When I looked,
he was carrying the body!
Something's definitely off with him!
If Dad recognizes him,
it's game over!
How did he even know
there was a death there?
No clue.
Shakthi Chettan is out there
cutting wood and digging up soil.
Digging up?! What the hell
is even happening over there?
If someone dies and we
take them to the hospital,
don't they have to
do a post-mortem?
But these guys are saying
she died at the hospital, right?
Didn't you tell me, brother
that she was already dead
when she was taken from here?
- That's true.
- Yes!
You have to tell that to the police.
The police?!
What, you thought Prasannan would
just sit quietly after getting beaten up?
Won't you stand with me, brother?
Well, that... I
Damn, my buzz is gone already!
If you buy a full bottle to
get my confidence back...
Don't worry, this
Prasannan will get you a litre!
Will you stand by me?
Prasannan, you're a real fighter, man.
I've got your back.
First, let them do the
post-mortem, brother.
No one's getting cremated here today!
Ratheesh
Don't pile everything together and burn
it all at once. That smoke is cancerous.
Really?
The women here have to
breathe this in till 3 AM, right?
Who said that?
The Science & Literature Council.
Oh really! Murali!
Oh
Brother...
So who's in charge
of the rituals here?
The Science & Literature
Council or the community group?
Science?
You handle it however you want, brother!
Hey, hold this.
What is it?
There's a proper way to do things,
and I'm just here to do it right.
We can't even burn wicks, huh?
Hey, if you're going, I'll send you the
money. I need a litre, get me a bottle.
First, send the money.
Hey, Papputty's
coming with the tube lights.
-Hey, did you tell them?
-Yeah, I did, brother.
Murali Anna...
Who told them to
tie up the tube lights?
Brother, that was
decided a while ago...
That side of the stream is
yours, and this side is theirs.
My own aunty is lying here dead.
But you're not going to
do this for free, are you?
I might even do it for free!
Hey! Work should be
given to family members first.
Papputty
Let me just get this done somehow.
What am I supposed to
do if he took over the job?
Brother, I only get work when
someone in the family dies.
And if they take that too?
Tell him that when
someone dies here next time,
you'll give him
the work, Murali.
Right?
Murali Annan is obliged to Venu for arranging
his daughter's wedding, and he's scared of him.
Otherwise, I'd have
torn him apart today!
Give Venu an inch
and he'll turn it into a mega show!
Brother, in our community
group's area itself,
if someone who hates Venu
has a death in their family,
I swear I'll end his
funeral show that day!
Brother...
How's your mom doing now?
She was in real bad shape, right?
She's fine now, man.
She's even sitting up.
Really?
Wait and see.
I'll get my hands
on him somewhere.
So, when Murali Annan's
son said he couldn't come,
the council member decided
to do the funeral at 2 PM.
That's when he showed up and
said it can only be done at 3:30!
- How is that possible?
- Oh no!
- My big sister is gone!
- Chechi, money!
Oh! Someone pay
that auto rickshaw fare!
What will I do now?
She left without even
saying a word to me...
Oh God! My big sister, who was always
full of life... What happened to her?
What is this?!
My big sister is gone!
Move aside!
My big sister...!
This is Girija from Maavuvila, sister!
Open your eyes, please!
Why won't she open her eyes?!
Huh?
Is this how a mourning
house should be?
You couldn't even call me?!
My big sister is gone!
I don't want to live anymore...
I don't want to live...
I don't want to live anymore!
Oh no...
I don't want to live...
Get me some water...
Blood pressure...
Even my big sister had
high blood pressure...
Oh God! I don't want
to live anymore...
Will we reach by 3 PM, Chetta?
I'll make sure we do.
Stay strong, Chechi...
She asked the astrologer
for the time to leave the house.
That's why we got so late.
If the astrologer said it,
shouldn't we follow it, Chetta?
Just shift that gear!
You've been dragging it all along.
- Is it from the ladies' club?
- Yes.
That's why there are 2
fried fish pieces. Yeah!
Prasannan Anna!
Everything okay?
Oh...
We'll make it okay!
When you came here this
morning, wasn't she lying dead?
What do you mean, dead?
Relax, I was just asking.
So, what exactly happened?
Well, she collapsed here, we took her to
the hospital, and she passed away there.
- At the hospital?
- Yeah.
But I heard she was already dead
when she was taken from here.
What exactly is your issue?
Why wasn't a post-mortem done?
Huh?
Fine... I'll get it done.
No one's getting away with this.
You guys carry on eating.
Why did he say that?
That's exactly what
I'm wondering too.
Shall I run away?
Hey, don't panic
and make a scene!
Are they really going
to do a post-mortem?
We sprayed water only after
she collapsed to the floor, right?
I've been telling
you since morning...
It wasn't us...
YOU sprayed the water!
[playing a Tamil song]
Uff!
Hey, Ratheesh, can you
do something about it?
All this drumming, band music, and noise...
What are the folks from Pandalam
gonna think when they get here?
Prasannan's son is
even worse than him!
He won't listen to me.
Now, with all this chaos, what
am I even supposed to do?!
Please stop for a moment.
Please, guys...
Is this really the
time for all this?
What would Grandma
think, seeing this chaos?
Grandma isn't going to
think anything. She's gone!
Her soul might, though...
Brother, his dad was beaten up!
That's why we're
playing the band!
Oh, yeah, that's right. If someone
hit my dad, I'd play a whole parade!
- Bro, I'm sorry...
- Not my dad... HIS dad!
Sorry.
Bro, please forgive us.
Sorry! Please!
Wait, who even are you?
I'll be Murali Annan's
son-in-law soon.
I'll get you a full bottle.
Don't use it.
If we can't use it,
why buy a bottle?
I mean, don't use your instruments.
Oh! That!
We can't drink right now.
There's a programme in the evening.
Can you get a couple of
beers for each of us?
Twenty beers!
- Sure!
- Dude, your dad was slapped, right?
Dad always deserved to be slapped.
I was this close to
throwing a punch myself!
Before the body is cremated,
we need our beers.
Once that's over,
you will cheat us.
No, no, I'll get it now.
Hmm...
- Okay?
- Okay.
Beer!
Boys, take rest!
Chechi, who all are
coming from their side?
From where?
From your Akhilettan's side.
I have no idea.
Will Akhilettan come?
Isn't he away for training?
Chechi, couldn't you have found
someone else nearby instead?
If so, they'd have come long ago,
the funeral would've been done
and we could've eaten
something by now.
Hey, it's not like
I found him!
What is this?
Just keep quiet for a bit.
I'm hungry!
If it was your own mom lying dead here,
would you still feel hungry?
Yeah, I would.
Savitri Ammachi was such a
kind-hearted soul, bro.
Back when we were in school,
whenever she saw me anywhere,
she'd always hand me ten rupees as a gift.
And in the end, she
collapsed onto the floor,
her heart gave out,
and she passed away.
Damn Don't be too upset, bro!
Why would I be upset?
Man, I was just getting my
mind in the zone for drinking!
What's wrong with you?
Pass me a piece.
Well, life works in strange ways, bro!
Even this...
This very chicken was bought
by Rajendran Annan this morning.
Now, he's sitting somewhere
hungry and miserable.
And here we are, feasting
away. That's just how fate works!
Sandeep Anna...
- Shall I fix you a drink?
- Coming, man!
Don't go calling the entire village
and making a scene, man.
Just give them two
small pegs first.
Then we can make them
buy the next full bottle.
Brother, does he drink?
Don't pour him anything today.
He already had an "attack."
Who said pouring a drink
causes heart attacks?
Did Savitri Amma get her heart
attack because someone poured on her?
Stop freaking out, man!
They weren't talking about
you spraying water on her.
Oh God!
Hey, Murali...
You and your wife went to
every single house in my area
to invite them for
the engagement,
but why didn't you come to mine?
Huh?
What did this Girija ever do to you?
I was about to come...
Oh, "about to," huh?
You planned to hold the engagement without
inviting me, and now look what happened?
The whole thing got cancelled, didn't it?
You should be respectful
to elders in whatever you do!
Oh! He didn't like it!
Can't say anything to kids these days.
What is it, Murali?
I have a bad head-ache, Chechi.
- It's due to B.P.
- Oh!
Murali!
Yes!
- Move aside.
- Poor guy!
- What is it, brother?
- Ask where they've reached.
Brother, they just called.
They've crossed Kottarakkara.
Tell them, once they cross Venjaramoodu,
take the Aaliyad route to get here.
Otherwise, they'll get
stuck circling inside the town.
Oh no... but will they even
know that route, brother?
What's there to know?
Just send them this location.
- Location? How do I do that?
- Brother...
Give it to Amit.
He'll do it for you.
Hey! Uncle is calling!
Hey, son.
Send the location of
this place to this number.
It's for the people
coming from Pandalam.
So...
- Yes, brother?
- When should we conduct the engagement?
After 41 days,
once the ashes are immersed,
- can't we do it soon, brother?
- 41 days?
The ashes should only be immersed
after keeping a lamp lit
in the house for a full year.
Until then, no weddings or
engagements can take place.
Oh no!
We can't wait for one year, Uncle.
What do you mean, "can't wait"?
Then, do this...
On the 16th day itself,
conduct your daughter's engagement
and Savitri's post-funeral
memorial service.
The tarp and the chairs
are already here, right?
It'll save some effort and money.
Right?
Come on, Uncle, drop it.
Anyway, let them arrive.
- Uncle!
- Yes.
Doesn't this phone have internet?
I'm unable to send it.
I've taken the number.
I'll send it from my phone.
Okay.
Uncle...
I've taken care of the band issue.
If any other unwanted nuisance
pops up, just tell me, okay?
Oh, and by the way...
I'm in the PSC list too.
No more doubts now.
Just follow this
and we'll be fine.
Not that I had any
doubts anyway.
We've already been
there once to see the girl.
Even then, we just
followed the map, right?
Bhadra, don't interrupt
with unnecessary comments.
Sir, can you send it to my phone?
- That'll make it easier for me.
- What?
The location.
I'll check and guide you.
You just drive accordingly.
- Got it?
- Yeah, got it.
- What's his problem?
- Keep your eyes on the road!
Oh, okay.
Dude, our plan is
actually working!
- My head is spinning.
- Her dad is totally convinced!
But we need to
get 20 beers, bro.
Do you have some cash to spare?
Huh?!
Dude, once the job is done,
you'll get paid anyway.
We will return it then.
Hey, he's picking up those logs you
chopped up and taking them away!
Whose funeral
are those logs for?
Uncle, where are you
taking this firewood?
Oh no, this isn't from here!
I brought this rubber wood from home.
Anyway, a migrant worker
was chopping wood here.
So, I just dropped it in front of him.
So, I got him to chop it!
Do the work at this
house first, dude!
Don't go around picking
up everyone's tasks.
Get chopping!
The alcohol is over.
If we want to keep drinking,
everyone needs to pitch in generously.
Sandeep Anna,
get a full bottle, man.
I don't have any money.
Come on, Anna, don't
be stingyjust chip in.
I said I don't have money!
Sheesh!
You've been drinking off of us all this
time, and now you're acting like this?
Ani...
Go get a full bottle, man.
Who? This innocent
soul who doesn't drink?
Oh wow! He doesn't drink, huh?
He pours like a
champ! Right, Ani?
This guy 'poured' some in the morning.
That's why here we
all are together
You need a bottle.
That's all, right?
Fine, I'll go get it.
Hand me the bike key.
Give it!
They're saying it's an
arranged marriage, right?
Oh no, don't drink that water!
If you need water, I'll go home
and get some rice gruel water.
Poor guy what a pity, right?
I was wondering who this is.
Were you here, son?
Yeah.
- Did you recognize me?
- Uh yeah.
Then, who am I?
I know
Then just say it!
No, no, I know!
If you know, just say it already!
Uh
When did you come from Dubai, son?
I never went to Dubai.
Oh, so you're Unni, right?
Nope.
Then who the hell are you?
- I'm
- Oh, Suma's son?
- Yeah.
- Ah, got it.
Alright then.
And Unni?
Unni chettan didn't come.
Oh? He's not coming?
He said he's not coming.
Ohhh...
Hey brother, I just
found out about all this...
Suma's and Rajendran's son is the one
performing the last rites here apparently!
They're saying that Murali's
son won't be able to come, right?
But shouldn't he show up
when it's this important?
Brother, you should tell
this to Murali himself.
A flight from Dubai
takes just a day, right?
Until then, she can
be kept in the mortuary.
Hey, I have nothing to say.
Let them do whatever they want.
Just think of it as Savitri's fate.
Hey Vatsala...
You're coming only now?
Was I supposed to
come yesterday instead?
Who is it?
Akhil.
Pick up and talk.
I told you to call my
parents. Why didn't you?
Why should I call them?
They're coming here anyway.
Still, couldn't you
have called them once?
Fine, I'll call.
Listen to me carefully.
Don't show this attitude
when you meet them.
Yeah!
When they arrive, be respectful.
Should I salute them too?
Hmph!
Anjali
Just hear me out.
With the wedding coming up,
your grandmother passing away
Let's just say my mom
isn't happy about the timing.
What's bugging your mom?
I don't understand.
See? This language!
You should ask,
'What's your mom worried about?'
Oh! Just tell me the matter!
She's worried if there's any bad omen
because your grandmother passed now.
Oh, really?
If you guys were so superstitious,
why didn't you tell us before?
Maybe then my grandmother
would've held off on dying!
- See? This is exactly
what I was talking about.
- You're so damn arrogant.
- Hello?
- Anjali!
- What?
You better call my dad and mom!
Let's finish this first.
- I'll be swearing at your dad and mom!
- Hey
Hello?
Hello?
Is there anyone around like that
to tap rubber here?
Water...
- Water...
- Oh, who are you?
- Are you Leela's son?
- Yes.
Oh! That's why he
looks exactly like Shashi!
- Water...
- How's your mom doing?
Mom's fine Water...
Ugh, what is this?
Just plain water?
No, I'll get you Tang!
- Water...
- Huh?
Water...
They have only plain water!
- I hope my big sister had
some water before dying!
Water!
What's your
problem, Suhail? Huh?
I'm not leaving here until
you admit that you like me.
Say it. Just say you like me.
Do you have even a
shred of sense, you ?
My grandmother just passed away,
and you're talking about this?
Hey
When you joined in first year,
you had a thing for me.
Can you deny it?
Yeah, I did. I had a crush
on someone from your batch.
But it wasn't you.
Then who was it?
Why do you care?
Who was it?!
It was Shakthi Chettan!
Did you hear that?
And guess what?
I still have a crush on him!
I'm all powerful,
like a high-range tower
Shakthi's the hero,
rest all sour
I'm all powerful,
like a high-range tower,
I've added some rice grains too.
- Really?
- Yes.
Where's your house?
Right next door.
Yo, what's this, dude? It's way too hot!
Shut your trap, no extra talk.
Crack that soda, mix a drink,
One good sip; chill mode, blink!
Yo, what's this, dude? It's way too hot!
Shut your trap, no extra talk.
Crack that soda, mix a drink,
Once it hits; chill mode, blink!
Will you give me your number?
- Huh?
- Will you give me your number?
Okay!
98...
56...
69...
26...
I'm all powerful,
like a high-range tower
Yes!
Shakthi's the hero,
rest all sour
Aunties love him, that's his zone,
Once he woos, colors are shown
Age ain't nothin', he's got that game,
Only aunties get flowers; that's his fame!
I'm all powerful,

Aunties love him, that's his zone,

Age ain't nothin', he's got that game,
Only aunties get flowers; that's his fame!
Dude, let's not stay here.
Let's go.
Anjali isn't worth it, man.
She's filthy.
Filthy isn't even the right word,
she's worse than her father.
Let her marry whoever
the hell she wants.
Come on, we're leaving.
I'm not coming back.
If you want to go, go ahead.
Dude, this place is rotten.
Everyone here is crazy.
This place is not right for us. Come.
My boy!
Some people get lucky!
Some don't.
What does that mean?
Dude, let me give it a shot now.
Shakthi...! You're my best friend.
- So?
- I'm leaving now!
Fine, go then.
- I will leave
- Yeah, whatever.
Stay if you want, or just leave.
I'm not stopping you.
I'm not going to be like,
"Oh no, don't go! Don't go!"
I won't say that.
I'm letting you open!
You do as you please!
Go!
- I have other things to do here.
- What other things?
The gruel you gave me was fresh.
You are my crush!
Will you give me a kiss?
Dude, who are you sending it to?
And what exactly did
you think of your brother?
- Haha...
- Shakthi, you are my friend...
I never expected this from you.
Don't I need a result for
all the hard work I did here?
I thought you'd see
her as your own sister
Are you not well?
Yikes! What was that?
Sheesh!
What's his problem
if an aunty fell for me?
Drink it!
- Brother
- Damn it!
We were out of alcohol
and the guy who went
to get more is missing too.
At a time like this, you showed up
with a litre of alcohol!
You're an angel!
A bearded angel!
Right, Riju?
Huh?!
Where's my drink?
Huh?
Hey
Who the hell are you?
Why did you take my drink?
I couldn't take it anymore, brother.
Had to do it. Sorry.
Oh, even I can't
take this anymore!
You just grab someone
else's drink and down it?
How the hell is that okay?
Here you go!
I'm drinking myself
to death tonight!
Did you see that
guy working outside?
I just gave him some water, and
guess what? He started flirting with me!
Why did he see in you that
he started flirting with you?
What do you mean?
Do I not look "flirt-worthy"?
Of course, Chechi.
So, what happened next?
He asked for my number.
- And did you give it to him?
- Yeah, right!
I had the SI's number from
Manglapuram station on my phone.
So I gave him that!
Let him sit and
call all he wants.
Wait, which guy was this?
The chubby dude in the yellow
vest, chopping wood outside. That guy.
Oh no! What happened?
Did the water go to your head?
I sent you so many hearts, and
you didn't even bother to reply?
Shall I punish you?
Shall I?
Muah! Muah! Muah!
There! That was your punishment.
Now, it's your turn to punish me, Chechi.
What's the matter, Chechi?
Please
He's fully charged, sir.
Tell him to send a photo
of himself right away.
Yes, sir!
From now on, don't
ever ride without a helmet.
- Got it?
- Yes, sir.
- Now, go.
- Thank you, sir.
What? Your dad can't
afford to buy you a helmet?
Hey!
Don't tell anyone about this.
Where's your helmet?
Sir, I was coming to the
station to file a complaint.
- Without a helmet?
- Sir, it's about a murder!
- Where?
- At Aykuttikkonam.
Savitri Ammachi.
- She's a distant aunt of mine.
- Oh, I see.
We need a post-mortem
at the earliest, sir!
What else?
Or else they'll just cremate her!
She was so full of life,
always active!
She was really fond of me, sir.
But now they're claiming
she died at the hospital.
If that's the case, a post-mortem
won't be necessary, right?
So they probably paid
off the hospital too, sir!
Hmm
What time did you reach
there in the morning?
Sir, it must have
been around 9 or 9:30.
Are you drunk?
Just a little, sir
and so is he!
Step aside, both of you.
Is there any truth
to what he's saying?
Sir, he is a lunatic!
That Murali is a respectable man.
They were planning to
cremate her near his path.
Saying that, he created chaos
over there, and got beaten up badly!
He wants to take
revenge for that, sir.
Scoundrel!
Get inside the jeep!
- You too, move it.
- Sir, my bike
Forget the bike! Get in!
Sir, he sent his photo.
Oh!
Thank you.
Muah!
- Thank you. Muah!
- Uff!
Sweet voice!
- The police?
- Escape as soon as you can!
If they catch me,
I'll spill your name too.
- What?!
- The cops will be there any second.
They'll take the
body for postmortem.
If they find out she died
after we sprayed water,
I swear on her,
I'll rat you out too!
Quick! Get rid of
that pressure washer!
That's mainour!
Dude, what the hell are you saying?
I'm out of here! If you
wanna save yourself, do it!
Hello?
Hello?!
I'm all powerful,
like a high-range tower
Shakthi's the hero,
rest all sour
Are you coming here, Chechi?
Or should I come there?
Are you coming here,
or should I come there?
Huh?!
Shucks!
Hey, it's me! I am the One!
Who's the opponent? Who is next?
Aunty! You cheat!
This is my arrival! This is the twist!
My mind is full of pure tar!
Full of soot, I am vengeance!
In my own horoscope, I am the bad guy!.
She's gone, brother.
She's really gone.
That Grim Reaper took her away.
What's the point of
living anymore, brother?
Wait Who is this guy?
It was a 78 old
woman who died, right?
Why is he crying like this for that?
You wouldn't understand, brother.
Shakthi was my...
best friend My BEST friend!
Shakthi??
That grandma's name is Savitri.
Wait, so you didn't get it yet?
That dead old lady's boyfriend...
Some Grandpa's spirit
has possessed this boy!
I need to talk to her
out in that yard.
Fine, you can talk.
Here, have a drink first.
- Me too!
- Who the hell are you?
You called me an angel before!
Angel who?
Scram! Get lost!
[directions from the map app]
Ah, stop, stop, stop!
I said stop!
Left, left, left!
I don't think
this is the right road.
But the map says
this is the way!
- Wasn't it the turn after the bridge?
-You shut up!
Turn! Go that way!
Sir, I don't think
this is the right way.
Oh, so now you're the expert?
Last time we came here,
it didn't look like this.
It's our country, right?
You think roads stay the same forever?
Wait What the hell is this?
- Drive properly!
- I think we hit something!
Oh no We actually
hit something!
Sir, my car's underbody just scraped!
You weren't driving properly!
- Oh, so now it's my fault?!
- What the hell is this place?
The GPS still says to keep going forward!
- Then get out and swim, both of you!
- For what?!
I don't know how to
drive through a river!
A river?! Where?
Oh no! Which left did you guys take?
Damn You were supposed
to take the left after the bridge!
Wow! Fantastic! So now they're stuck
across the river at Somennan's land.
I wonder if they fell into the river!
All this hassle for no reason!
Well, death does bring a
little inconvenience sometimes.
Today, the inauspicious time
starts only at 4:30 PM.
You don't have to teach us!
Who even made the rule that we need
to wait for them before taking the body?
Stop it, man!
Community groups
exist everywhere.
But only in our village do we
have all these strange customs.
Apparently, for Savitri's last rites,
someone from our own
community must perform them.
What if the community
group had decided that?
Then we'd have had to wait for
Murali's son to fly in from Dubai, right?
Exactly, Uncle.
Now, even this is happening only
because of our generosity.
What did you just say?
What exactly did
you mean by that?
Huh?
- I'll call you back.
What did you just say?
- Rajendra, what's going on?
- Did you hear what he just said?
According to him, my son is performing
the rituals only because of his generosity!
My son won't perform any rites under
someone else's so-called generosity!
Amit, come out now!
Damn it!
Hey, Rajendran
The people from Pandalam will be
here soon. Don't start unnecessary trouble.
Murali, I never said his
son can't perform the rites.
I heard what you
said loud and clear.
What did you hear?
That my son is doing the
rites out of your generosity!
Yeah, I said that.
It's out of my generosity indeed!
You got a problem with it?
Damn right, I do!
- You have no idea what I'm capable of.
-And you don't know what I am capable of either!
Why the hell should I care
about what you're capable of?
Amit, come out!
Rajendra, listen to me! There's
no need to start a fight over this.
I've been putting up with
this guy for a while now.
Murali
I'm done. You guys can burn her, bury her or
whatever the hell you want! I'm out of here.
Venu Anna, don't go!
- Let him go!
- Rajendran, please, don't!
Leave him!
Let's see what he's got.
Amit!
He's messing with the President
of the Community Group!
I've seen much worse!
- Stay right there!
- Amit! Son...
- Leave him!
- Amit! Hey! Wait!
Rajendra, call him back!
He won't be performing
the rites anymore.
Let the supposedly
deserving one do it now!
You and your generosity!
- You get going!
- Hey, listen to me!
Only you are
here to do the rites!
- No, Uncle!
- Please listen to me!
Son!
Brother, let him go!
That dead Sudhakaran
should be blamed!
He gave space and
respect to such guys!
Hey, old man! I won't consider your age.
I'll break your damn nose!
- You won't do squat!
- Calm down, man!
Did you hear what that old
man just said about my dad?
- Son!
- Let Unni Chettan do it when he arrives.
Don't go, son!
Amit, don't leave!
- Hey!
- Hey! Don't go!
Rajendra!
Call him back!
No one has to call
anyone back now.
One of our own will
light the pyre.
That's my final decision.
[in 100 metres, make a U-turn]
Huh? Why are we stopping?
Chetta, the location is shifting.
I think they sent a live location.
So what? Just follow the damn map!
Why are you getting confused?
Chetta, a second ago, it was pointing
that way. Now it's showing this way.
Oh, come on!
Just go wherever it says!
I'm unfortunately two years older to her.
Otherwise, I'd have
lit the pyre.
Call your son and
bring him here.
Let him light the pyre!
But brother, by the time he gets
leave from Dubai and gets here...
The people from Pandalam
will be here soon, brother.
If you say all that... Don't we
need some male to light the pyre?
Murali Anna
Shall we call Papputty
from across the river?
Good idea.
She was his aunt, after all.
He can do the rites.
He came all the way here but
didn't even step inside to see her.
Still, give him a call
and check, brother.
Oh!
Oh So now you need me, huh?
Fine, I'll light the pyre
if that's what you want.
But I need 10,000 for it.
Deal?
Man, didn't I tell you earlier to give
him the job of setting up tube lights?
Why didn't you give him the job?
Isn't he part of your family?
No, brother...
That...
What?
The ward member must
have arranged it, right?
Nothing happens
until your son arrives.
Call him and find
out when he's coming.
Until then, keep the
body in the mortuary.
- What else can we do?
- True.
Wasn't Leela's son around here?
He can light the pyre
as per his relation, right?
Which Leela?
The one from Madras!
Shashi's wife!
But isn't her son in
Australia or something?
No, no. I saw him walking
around here, distributing water.
Where was he? I saw him.
Oh! There he is!
Standing right there!
Fine. If it's Leela's son,
then let it be him.
Take off his shirt
and wrap him with the silk cloth.
Hey
Pour a bucket of
water over his head.
Alright, now bring the body out.
and start with the rites.
By then, the people from
Pandalam should arrive.
Go inside, dear.
Dad What's going on here?
Who is he to perform my
grandmother's last rites?
What's wrong with Leela's son?
He's family too.
He has the right to do it.
This isn't Leela or
Keela's son! Move aside!
Then who is it?
Suhail.
Suhail Mohammed.
Huh!
- Didn't I tell you earlier?
- What is this, dear?
Isn't he..
that other guy?
Huh?
What is this, dear?
Dad, I have no idea!
I never told him to come here.
You shut up!
Murali, what do you say now?
What did I tell you yesterday?
Dad
Listen to me first.
You! Don't you dare
open your mouth!
Brother
- Listen to what she has to say, as well.
- I'll speak.
I've been chasing after
her for the past four years.
Would it kill you to admit
you like me, just once?
- Such a heartless girl
- Stop it!
Brother, why are you doubting the
girl, listening to random guys' words?
I am not just a random guy!
About her wedding,
I'll have to rethink now.
Didn't you hear what
he just said, brother?
This isn't over, Uncle!
- I still have more to say about her.
- Get him out of here!
Barging into the house
and causing a scene, huh?
How dare you hit me?!
- Hey!
- Take him away!
She won't find a better
guy than me, uncle!
I'm on the PSC list, you know
Their office is in Pattom.
You can enquire there!
So, just forget about that
wedding in Pandalom, alright?
Dad!
I don't want that wedding
even otherwise!
Oh you want to
marry him instead?
Get him married to your daughter!
What did you just say?!
I didn't say anything!
Dear, go inside.
What's going on here?
No one's here to perform the rites
and yet, you're all standing
here talking about a wedding?
My big sister will lie here,
decomposing!
If you don't want that to happen,
you'll have to take her to the mortuary.
Now, no matter what, we
wait until your son arrives.
That's the Community Group's decision.
Call an ambulance.
Dude, a squad is incoming!
Keep an eye out,
keep an eye out!
Move back! Get to cover!
- Get inside the house!
- Take weapons and hit him!
- Hit, hit, hit!
- Hey, hit him!
- I am hitting him!
- You guys go to the back!
- Don't mess around! Don't die!
- There's someone here!
This is the location.
I've brought you
to the correct spot.
So where's the house?
Are you seriously asking me that?
- Who else should I ask?
- I drove according to the GPS.
You're the one who brought
us here taking a wrong route!
I told you from the start...
Attending a funeral while a
wedding is fixed is a bad omen!
- This is all your fault.
- Forget it, start the car!
Let's go back!
If Chechi is taken
to the mortuary now,
how many days
will she be left there?
That boy isnt coming for
another two or three days, right?
Chechi, who never harmed a
soul in her life, met such a fate!
Now she has to lie there, all alone
in the mortuary, like a lost soul!
Mom!
Doesn't she deserve
a proper cremation?
Tell them not to take
grandma away, Mom!
Who's going to listen to me here?
- Chechi!
- Mom!
Mom!
Chechi!
Looks like Chechi's fate
is to lie in the mortuary!
What can we do?
All the women, step aside!
We have to take the body.
Didn't you hear what I said?
Murali!
Come here.
Grandma!
Oh no!
Oh no!
Mom!
Grandma!
Mom, tell him!
Dad, please don't take grandma away!
Please, Dad!
Murali!
Mom! Tell him, Mom!
Dad!
Legs this way.
Dad! Please don't
take grandma, Dad!
Dad!
Chechi!
Oh no!
Dad, please don't
take grandma away!
We have no other choice, dear.
We'll have to keep the body there
until Unni comes.
Shell have to be there all alone,
with no one by her side.
Mom! Tell him, Mom!
Hey, take her away!
He is a useless
good-for-nothing.
That's why she is also
making a show here.
Your grandma has no
sons to perform her last rites.
Thats why shes
being taken away.
Can only sons
perform the last rites?
You get inside the house!
Enough of your nonsense!
Dont make a scene!
- Dad!
- Mom!
Mom!
Hold it.
Mom!
Oh no!
Oh my Mom!
Mom!
Stop thinking and
get her inside, Murali.
Get her inside, brother!
We've got other things to do.
Oh no!
Don't start the vehicle.
Kumar...
Oh no!
Vavachi, ask your mom to
wrap a silk cloth on herself,
pour a pot of water over
her head, and come here.
Hey! What is your intention?
Savithri Maami's last rites will
be performed by her daughters!
You don't get to decide that.
Im here to make
sure its done right!
From now on, Ill decide
what happens in my house!
Murali!
Screw you!
Don't come here
causing trouble again!
Do you even realize
who youre talking to?
Henceforth, the community group
won't be with you for anything!
No need!
It's more peaceful
without you guys.
You think you're the only
community group here?
Don't come here
causing trouble again!
Get out of my house!
Move! All of you!
Oh my, it seems this guy
has completely lost his mind!
If you open your mouth again,
I'll beat you to death and send
you away in this ambulance!
Your kids aren't around, are they?
You'll be in the
morgue for a few days!
Murali!
You will also die one day!
That day you will
understand what my worth is!
- Get out of my property!
Ungrateful bunch of people!
Rajendra...!
We will cremate Maami in the same
place where uncle was cremated!
Not just Prasannan, even his
dad can't do anything about it now!
Bloody relatives and...!
Do you have any other opinions now?
Huh? Do you?
Brother...
Kumar, bring the body back.
- Okay, brother.
- Ratheesh...
Is it time to depart? Are you going away?
Are we really parting today?
I stand alone, my heart feels bare,
My eyes just stare at empty air
Who will now stroke my hair so light?
Who will pinch my ear just right?
Who will give me love
that never ends, like you do?
Are you fading from my view?
Not hearing your child in sorrow cry,
As you leave without goodbye
Hey girl, didn't I tell you that
these earrings weren't necessary?
You always mess it up!
Move your hand.
Pause that, Ammu.
Okay.
- Wait, wait.
- Oh...
Oh my...!
Happy now?
- Five.
- Huh?!
[indistinct railway announcements]
Brother...
- What is it?
- Does this train go to Kashi?
This one goes only up to Kollam.
