"On the banks of river Kalyani"
"there's a bamboo forest that sways in the air."
"Beside the forest"
"there's a beautiful land."
"It's a land of good-hearted people."
"Many find it hard to earn their daily bread."
"On the banks of river Kalyani"
"there's a bamboo forest that sways in the air."
This is where the story of Gowlipady village begins.
A tiny village having a thousand windows.
Through this village that lies between Kerala and Karnataka
a tributary of river Kaveri flows like a silver waist chain.
River Kalyani that flows embracing Gowlipady.
"The land of sweet birds that nests on the wings of the wind."
"The mind that swings up and touches the sky."
"There's a beautiful field on the banks of the river."
"The fields that yield good crops for everyone."
"Even when good times come"
"there are stories of paucity to be heard everywhere."
"Even when the darkness has gone, the rain continues to pour. "
"On the banks of river Kalyani"
"there's a bamboo forest that sways in the air."
The natives of Gowlipady village
have only goodness and lots of poverty as their assets.
Majority of them are farmers.
Although they work hard
poverty never seems to leave them.
The reason behind it is a drought that happened a few years back.
In the scorching heat, without even a drop to drink
the lives that got burnt on the parched land.
They are in an attempt to regain what they lost.
They have sold all the valuables.
They are yearning for a drop of rain for years now.
No God seemed to favour them.
The chieftain Bhandaravathi made full use of the opportunity.
She looted the villagers at the time of adversity
and filled her own pockets. - "On the banks of river Kalyani"
"there's a bamboo forest.." - It was then
that the prayers of the villagers were answered.
The skies became cloudy again.
The rain came pouring as a blessing to the natives.
The land turned into a green carpet once again.
Still, misfortune seemed to follow them.
Whatever they earned through their hard work
had to be offered to Bhandaravathi.
Weddings are there, but no feasts.
Festivals are there, but no celebrations.
Temples are there, but no offerings.
Everything was offered to Bhandaravathi.
Mayllappa!
This is Mayllappa. Bhandaravathi's only brother.
Mayllappa is good for nothing.
A person who doesn't like to do any work.
His main interest is putting others in trouble.
Kashi, the man who considers himself the most intelligent
lottery salesman has also fallen prey to Mayllappa's trap.
Being the only educated man in the village
Kashi never begs anyone for help.
He has burnt his fingers trying many small businesses.
Finally, he tried opening a chit fund.
That didn't work out either.
Now he sells fortune for a living.
He sells lotteries with the name Bhagyalakshmi.
Another major character in the village is milkman Nallavan.
Most of his cows are with Bhandaravathi.
Still, Nallavan goes ahead with his business.
He still knows how to earn
from the remaining cows he has.
Nallavan has an enemy in the village.
His name is Kallu.
Although he never earns a penny
Kallu works hard day and night for Nallavan.
There's a reason for that.
From childhood, Kallu has an eye
on Nallavan's daughter Thamara.
It's just to see her and talk to her
that Kallu puts up with Nallavan and works for him.
Haven't you heard the story of the tortoise and the hare?
This story is similar. Keep watching.
From the month of 'Meenam', each pot will be charged a rupee extra.
Why? - Because water will be scarce.
Did you know?
Yesterday in the meeting, carpenter Velappa was charged a fine.
For what?
His cow entered the farm of Poppadom maker Anty
and destroyed his crops.
Then?
Then Basavappa joined Velappa.
Timber shop owner Beeran was with Anty.
When they started fighting..
Hey, move aside. You thought I wouldn't see?
Are we standing here to watch your antics? Get lost.
Is that why we came?
When they started fighting, Bhandaravathi intervened.
She handled the whole thing with Rs. 50.
Where did you go?
I went to Kasaravalli. - Why?
To buy lottery tickets. It was dark by the time I returned.
You have a good time now.
What good time!
You can't earn a living selling lottery tickets.
If anyone wins it, I will get a commission.
Do you know Kollam Kappan? - Yes.
He once got Rs. 20,000.
As a token, I got Rs. 2,000.
That's it.
I think your business is far better.
Even if you don't sell milk, you can kill your hunger with it.
I have to feed the cows.
I can't give them mud to eat.
If it runs into someone's field
my plight will also be like Velappa.
Your business will flourish now. - Why?
People are always in search of good fortune.
There's no other way to do away with poverty here.
It's a big thing if they win a lottery.
Nallavan, may your words come true.
Here comes the mobile jewellery shop. The devil!
What?
Hey! Chellayya.
Who told you to give her water?
Is this her well?
She has not paid money for the past four months.
Only I know my bad condition, Bhandaravathi.
Serves you right!
Give back the money first and then take the water.
The well is not for giving water to anyone for free.
Sad! She must be called a devil, not Bhandaravathi.
Nice! Devil!
Why didn't you come to the temple yesterday?
I was waiting for you at the temple.
Dad was with me.
It was late when I came back from the market.
Where on earth did your mom find such a stupid man?
See! Dad! - Stupid fellow!
Go away! He will scold you if you stand here.
The cow.. - Hey!
Where is the cow..
Oops!
Oh, my butt! - Oh, God!
I will teach you a lesson today..
Your father owes me some money.
I've put you to work just to make use of that money.
I am not here to see you wasting
the water that I brought
with great difficulty.
Got it
son of Appayya, the mahout? - Oh, no.
Oh, God! - Oh, it broke.
I'll fix this. - I will.. Here..
Hold this. - Why? - Hold it! - No.
Break this as well. Break it, you dog.
Why are you staring at the ground? Is your dad buried here?
'No, you dog.'
Did you water the plants in the field yesterday? - No.
Why? - It rained yesterday.
Oh! If it was raining, you could've held an umbrella and watered it.
Did you give fodder to these poor cows? - No.
Did you eat it? - The fodder is inside the house.
You told me not to enter the house. - Oh! Such an obedient guy!
Thamara! - Yes, Dad?
Give some fodder to this idiot. - Bloody old man! - Okay.
Why're you standing here? Go inside.
He's always torturing me. - What did you say?
I said I'll fetch the fodder. - Okay.
Hey. - Yes? - Hey! - What?
Shall I say something? - Yes.
We won't get married for the next 16 years.
Will you wait until then?
Why 16 years?
Your dad, that idiot. I'll kill him soon.
I'll be in prison for 16 years.
I'll marry you after that.
I don't think we can be together as long as he's alive.
I've told you many times.
Don't work for him and lose your dignity.
Go somewhere and find a job.
Then you may come and call me.
I'll come with you.
You're right.
I'm quitting this godforsaken job from today.
I'm leaving.
But before I leave..
But what?
Before I leave.. - Thamara!
Did you give him the fodder? - You bloody..
Yes. I'm bringing it, Dad.
Take it fast. - Give it to your dad!
Come close.
For what?
Well, before I leave..
I've been thinking for some time now
about hugging and kissing you.
Anyway, I'm quitting the job and leaving, right? - Yes.
No one can say when we will meet again.
So.. - Hey, leave me.
Did you give him.. - Are you eating the fodder?
You're so heavy. I didn't kiss you. - Bloody pig!
Are you kissing her? - I didn't. - I'll kill you both.
You filthy being! - Escape, Thamara. - Where's the knife?
You let him in, Dad.
I told you to give him fodder. Did I tell you to kiss him? - No..
He's neck deep in poverty and wants to hug her!
I'll kill you today.
Hey, Makkamma. - Bastard! What are you doing?
Can't you play ethically?
What are you doing here, man? Get lost!
I'm in trouble, Dad.
Where are you running off to, Kallu? Did someone die?
Run if you value your life, Dad!
That bloody Nallavan is coming with a knife.
Why is that? - He has a doubt.
Someone who looks like me kissed his daughter.
I'll get him later.
Let me first behead his dad. Give me my money!
You owe me money, and you're playing cards!
I'll fix you today. - I don't have a single penny.
And you want your Rs. 5,000?
There's no use chasing me. - Stop there. - Let me escape.
What will you do with my head? Eat it? - No, man.
I'll sell your head to some wizard. I'll get money for that.
You earn by selling water and marketing it as milk.
If I curse you, all your cows will die.
Who are you to curse me? A sage?
Yes. - Come down if you have the guts.
I'll cut your tongue out and feed it to the dogs.
Stop barking in front of the elephant, you dog.
If it steps on you, you'll be like a frog driven over by a lorry.
Don't listen to this dog, Mangalam. Let's go.
Walk, Shankaran.
He's showing off sitting on top of the elephant.
I'll get you one day when the elephant is not there.
I'll kill you that day, man.
Kanthappa from Kaikambam village has a complaint.
His daughter, Malli, met Maruthu from Gowlipady
in the Aalahanalli market.
They fell in love.
He promised to marry her.
Malli is pregnant now.
But Maruthu says that he won't marry her now.
He says that he doesn't know any girl like that. - Yes.
He was the one who lied and betrayed that girl.
He has to marry her to save her honour.
I can't become the father of someone's child. - Yes.
It's not fair to marry Malli off to Maruthu
based on your single opinion.
Yes. It's decided.. You're not the child's dad. - Okay.
Everyone, leave.. Come, Maruthu. - Hey.. Stop.
What is this?
This is the law in this land.
What we decide is justice.
Then you can listen to our decision as well.
We give you time until the next new moon day.
Maruthu must tie the nuptial chain on Malli's neck before that.
Else, we'll kill him and get his corpse married to Malli.
Let's go. Go!
We'll see. - Okay.
You guys will lose your limbs. - There's nothing to see.
The river Kalyani will be filled with blood.
If you ever set foot.. - Get lost. ...in Gowlipady ever.. - Get lost!
...we'll kill all of you! - We'll see. - Yes!
Hey! You've started drinking in the morning itself, Mr. Antony!
I saw you lying like a dead snake under the bridge.
The whole village is like home for Mr. Antony.
He'll sleep wherever he loses his senses.
Once upon a time, he had lots of houses here.
He sold everything for liquor!
Stop gossiping and get some work done!
I haven't received this month's money.
The money for the milk?
Come to my house on Sunday. I'll pay you.
Look..
Go fast, man. - Buddy! - Go!
Hey, stop! Thief! Can't he see?
If I catch you, I'll kill you. Bloody pig!
Oh!
You're covered in dirt.
Look. There's a public toilet.
Go and change your clothes.
Wash, dry it and wear it after that. Go.
Don't waste time. Go.
Do you know what we should do to him?
We should smear chilly on a hot cane and hit his ass.
Move. - I can't see. - Let me see.
Oh, God.
Hey, I made the hole here. - Move.
Move. - Drill your own hole and look. - Don't push.
Hey, it has just started.. - Let me see.
Damn. I'm going to kill this cat. It's disturbing me all the time.
Greetings, Mr. Kashi. - Yes.
Virumandi. - Yes?
A tea. - Yes.
I'll pay you just half.
Add only a few tea leaves.
I don't need sugar and milk. - Is hot water enough?
Well, that's enough then.
And keep the TV on Channel 16.
This month's lottery results are going to be telecast. - Okay.
The town folk are saying that your private lottery is fraudulent.
The buyers don't know who wins and how much they win. - Yes.
We should believe the numbers scribbled outside your home, right?
You don't buy my tickets. Then why are you concerned?
I won't waste money on all this.
No one here has seen you spend money at all.
You sit here every morning and gossip about the town folk.
And eat whatever you get for free.
That's why people call you Gossip Kuriyachan.
Don't make me.. - 'The results'
'of Bhagyalakshmi lotteries for this month will be published now.'
'The ticket number for first prize'
'is PA37891011.'
'The prize amount is Rs. 5 crores.'
'1011..'
'The ticket number for second prize'
'is PB174077..'
What's up, Mr. Kashi? Did anyone win? - No.
N-No one won this month. - Are you leaving? Don't you need the tea?
Kadambari.
S-Some water.
Bring it.
What happened?
You're sweating a lot. - Give me more..
What happened?
Oh, no. Do you have a fever?
No.
Come here. - What?
Listen. - Yes.
I-I'll tell you a big secret. - Okay.
Don't tell anyone else. - I won't.
You know the Bhagyalakshmi tickets I sold last month? - Yes.
One of those tickets has won the first prize.
Is it? - Yes.
God! Who's that lucky person?
I don't know.
It's not just me. No one in the village knows.
If I don't write the number and details
on the board outside, no one will know.
Then write it fast! - No, I won't.. - Why?
Just think about it.
What if we get the whole amount?
How will that happen?
It belongs to someone else. How will we get it?
It doesn't belong to someone else. It's ours.
They got it only because I sold the tickets.
It will be done if I give back the ticket price.
It will be fixed. - How's that? - Do you know?
It's not a meagre amount. It's five crores..
Oh, God! What will we do with so much money?
We can use it as we wish!
Talk softly. No one should know about this.
We should get hold of the money secretly.
How is that possible?
I.. I have a plan.
For the last four months
nobody has won the lottery in our village.
But as a return to the ones who bought the lottery tickets
I'll organise a lunch for them.
Only for the ones who bought the tickets. Which means..
Only the ones who come with tickets can attend the lunch.
Others won't be allowed.
But won't that be expensive?
Where will we get the money to organise a lunch?
That's right. We don't have money.
But I have a solution for it.
But you shouldn't get angry.
Just think that it's all for our own good.
But you shouldn't get angry.
We'll need around Rs. 4,000 for organising a lunch.
I have some money with me
but that won't be enough.
And we've also sold the blankets we had.
I had told you not to. But you.. - That's what I'm trying to say.
Do we have anything else to sell now? No.
We do. We have just one thing to sell.
But you shouldn't get angry.
Tell me what it is!
Shall we pawn our Meenakshi to that wretched woman?
No! I won't agree! - But..
I don't want anyone's money.
I won't give away my child.
How can you be so heartless?
How could you even think of this?
Do you think that I don't like Meenakshi? - No!
Otherwise, you wouldn't have told me this.
Kadambari! Dear! Just listen to me.
Look! It's just a matter of a few days.
Today we'll give it as security.
After we get the money, we'll bring her back the next day. That's all.
Look! We are pawning Meenakshi for her own good.
After we get the money, we can buy her anything she wants.
Hey! Now is not the time to cry. It's the time to think.
Please agree.. Agree!
Pay him Rs. 25!
We won't get benefitted from this.
For this? - So costly?
Why are you charging so much?
If you want, you can buy it. - Okay. - Hey! Look!
Go!
Hey!
Idiot! Are you blind? Where are you hurrying to?
Oh.. It's completely dirty.
It's very dirty water.
Listen! There's water in the public toilet.
You can go and clean yourself. - Okay. - You can accompany her.
You can go. - Okay.
Hey! I'll take care of you later. Bastard!
Hey! What are you doing here?
I'm waiting for Thamara. - Where's she?
She's in the public toilet.
She got herself dirty. She's gone to clean herself.
Let me see too.. - Hey! - Oh!
How dare you look at my girl!
Leave me.. - Kallu! - Oh!
Kallu! Stop it! Leave him.
You've been.. - Kallu! No!
Kallu! - Leave me!
Kallu! - Leave me..
I'll poke his eyes out for this!
Kallu! What's the matter?
He's been doing this hooliganism for some time now!
He's a Peeping Tom!
How does that bother you? Bastard!
Do that in your own house! Rascal! - Oh!
How are you related to this girl?
No! She's the girl I'm going to marry. Everyone knows it.
Don't create a scene. Come here! - Leave me..
I'll kill you! - Leave me!
His Thamara! Rubbish! Let's see who marries her.
Let me see how you
tie the nuptial chain with the hands you hit me with.
I will marry her..
I will take her to my bathroom
and do as I wish!
No, Bhandaravathi! Let us not buy this land.
We can't harvest anything on this land.
The crops will get dried up by the sun
or they'll be washed away.
Listen! Gundappa's predictions have never gone wrong.
Tell them that we don't want to buy their land.
We've got an offer of a coffee estate in Mathihalli.
Can you check if it is good? - Okay.
Let me see.
Sister.. I want to marry now.
What happened? - I'm in love.
From when? - Just now. Half an hour back.
I want to marry!
There's no girl, Pandal or any other arrangements.
Then how will you marry? - I have a girl!
Who? Where?
Milk supplier Nallavan's daughter, Thamara.
That beggar's daughter?
Have you gone mad?
What will we get as dowry? Cow dung and hay!
I'm looking for a suitable girl for you.
You've been searching for so long now!
It's my friend's marriage this Sunday.
I want to marry before that.
Oh.. You idiot! - What?
I should at least get back the money I spent on you!
Do you know why I haven't married till now?
I don't intend to give my hard earned money to someone else!
Bhandaravathi! Don't refuse to it. - What?
Look at this! It's Goddess Mahalakshmi.
We won't get a better omen than this.
What is the meaning of Thamara? It's the throne of Goddess Lakshmi.
Let her come. She'll be auspicious for you.
Bhandaravathi! Why are you here?
Do come and sit inside.
I didn't come to accept your invitation.
I came to tell you something. - What is it?
Mayllappa has fallen for your daughter, Thamara.
He wants to marry her now. He is an idiot!
Even I don't care about it now.
What is your opinion?
What do I say?
How can I defy this offer?
After the new moon, Gundappa will decide a good time.
Okay. - We can arrange the marriage then. - Sure.
Okay. You can take this. Take it.
Thamara!
Just think that your father's doing everything for your own good.
I don't want to get married.
That too, to that ugly fellow!
An unmarried girl's father's heart
will always be laden with concern. Understand that.
You won't understand right now.
Listen to him, and you'll ruin your life!
They're poor.
The father works while the son doesn't.
When the son goes, the father becomes lazy.
Do you know why?
They wear the same clothes! That's why.
All they have is an elephant.
And that too is pawned to Bhandaravathi.
If a fox snatches their hens, they will be penniless.
How will you live happily there?
Every man is the same after marriage.
I only want what's best for you.
That's all!
Where will you two go to? - I don't know.
It's better to kill myself
than marrying him.
I'll tell my brother.
But I feel bad for the two of you.
Don't feel sad.
I believe in God.
Kallu and I will live happily in the end.
I've made up my decision.
What do I tell my brother?
On the night of the new moon
I'll be waiting on the way to the Karuvelam forests.
Tell your brother to wait for me there.
We'll elope to some place at night.
Have you thought about it well?
There is no other way for us.

58, 59, 90, 91.. - Did you get it?
Didn't you hear me? - What?
That lottery ticket worth five crores.
I had sold 122 tickets.
121 of them have been returned except one.
Would that one have won the first prize?
Is there anybody who didn't attend the feast today?
How would I know who it was?
Maybe he already knows that he has won the first prize.
Maybe that's why he hasn't come.
Who might that guy be?
It could be anyone.
How will we find who that person is?
We lost whatever that was remaining
all because of your greed.
I don't know what you do. Go and make some money
and bring my Meenakshi back.
I don't need any new clothes.
All I want is my child.
Do you hear me?
I got it.
I got it now.
I now know the person who has won it.
Who is it? - Antony.
Arkoth Antony.
That drunkard? - Yes.
He bought tickets from me often.
He didn't show up today for the feast either.
Is there any food left?
Nothing.
Everyone ate like
it was the end of the world and left.
Damn. - I've kept some Payasam for you.
I don't need anything. - What?
Pour it in a container and bring it.
Go.. - Okay. - Go.
Mr. Antony! - 'People were injured in the accident that was'
'mentioned in the paper..' - Mr. Antony.
'Sidhique went home for treatment.'
'The advocate Mr. Shamsudeen Karunagappally.' - Oh!
'He approached the court for compensation.'
'The taxi fare in Dubai..' - Mr. Antony.
There was a feast at my house.
Everyone enjoyed it and made it into a celebration.
You must have been unaware.
I felt sad as you were not present.
You buy tickets from me every month.
So Kadambari told me to give you some Payasam.
It's special. She prepared it.
Do you know why I brought sweets?
To tell you something sweet.
You have scored high
through the ticket I gave you, Mr. Antony.
It's not a mere amount.
Rs. 5 crores..
We're very lucky.
But you already know it.
So you must've had a lot of liquor.
Leave it.
Have this after you're back in your senses.
You know, right?
Whoever wins the lottery must give me a commission.
Usually, it's ten percent.
As it's you, just give me five percent.
Just Rs. 25 Lakhs.
I'll stop my sales after that.
'Including Mr. Raghavan..' - Do you feel it's too much?
'As part of the 43rd anniversary..' - Then let's make a deal.
Ten. Just give me Rs. Ten lakhs.
At least five? Five..
Let's not argue. Two and a half?
You should give me that. You should give Rs. 2.5 lakhs.
Because..
Mr. Antony..
Oh! Can't you stop drinking even after getting money?
Mr. Antony.
Mr. Antony..
Oh, no.
Mr. Antony.
Get up.
Damn.
Mr. Antony.
Mr. Antony. It's me, Kashi..
Oh, God.
Mr. Antony.
Dear Lord!
"Oh, no.. Money.."
"Money.."
Mr. Antony!
N-Nallavan. What are you doing here?
I came here to collect my money for milk.
What are you doing there?
I.. Here.. - Why is he lying on the floor?
Well.. - What happened to Mr. Antony?
Mr. Antony.
Nallavan.. - Why did you tie that towel around his neck?
Oh, no.
Oh, God!
Is he dead? - Be quiet.. - Mr. Antony!
Did you kill him?
I haven't killed anyone. - Hey. Put down the knife. - What?
Put down the knife.
I'll call everyone. - Listen to me, Nallavan.
I don't want to hear anything. Please come..
Stop shouting.
I will. - Nallavan! - What will you do?
Will you kill me too? - I haven't killed anyone.
He won a jackpot of Rs. 5 crores.
So you had killed him to steal that money, right?
Please believe me. I didn't kill him.
Nallavan.. - Don't touch me.
Please listen to me.
I came here to tell that he won the jackpot.
But this idiot already knew, and he died of happiness.
I've never heard of someone dying of happiness.
Have you heard of laughing to death?
Kashi, do you think I'm stupid? - Damn!
Don't try to fool me.
Why did you strangle him with your towel? - Oh, no!
I was trying to take the lottery ticket from his hand.
By strangling him with your towel?
I don't know how to convince you. Just look at his face.
Don't you see a smile on his face? - Yes.
Would anyone smile while being strangled?
I don't know. - Damn!
I came here to tell that the Goddess of Luck has blessed him.
What? - I believe the same Goddess brought us here. - But why?
Just think of it.
Why do you think all of this happened? - I have no idea.
The one who deserves it should get it. - When will it be given?
Did you understand what I said? - No, I didn't. - Damn!
You are going to get Rs. 2.5 crores from Rs. 5 crores.
I shall take the remaining money if anything is left.
Nallavan, the reason why your dad gave you that name
is because he thought the name would bring you good fortune.
Good times are on the horizon for us.
We have struggled all through our lives.
Don't you think it's time for us to live in luxury?
I want to tell you something else too. - What?
One shouldn't ignore the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi!
It doesn't happen every now and then. - Oh!
We would be cursed.
No one but the two of us know
what has happened here, right?
We'll say that it was us who won the jackpot.
That'll be the end of it.
What?
I think what we're going to do is wrong. - W-What is wrong in it?
Did we commit murder or steal from someone?
That ticket has won the jackpot.
It's better that we claim the money rather than waste it, right?
I-I think it's fair enough. - Exactly.
But is it.. - Just calm down. - Okay.
But what'll we do about his body?
Moreover..
That carpenter and his daughter had seen me coming here.
Oh, you've ruined it all! - Really? - Then what?
The police will find the time of his death.
They will also find out that you were here at that time.
You are going to be in trouble. - N-No way!
I will say that you were already here when I came. - What?
I will also say that I saw you strangle him with the towel.
Then both of us would end up empty-handed.
I will choose that over imprisonment!
Damn!
I have an idea. - Tell me.
Let's throw the body into the Kalyani river from the bridge.
Since he is often seen there, people would think
that he had accidentally fallen into the river after getting drunk.
Help me lift the body. - I have a bad feeling about this.
Y-You needn't have any bad feelings.
If we get caught, I shall take full responsibility.
Don't you trust me? - Yes. - Help me lift the body.
Lift it.. - Kashi.
Hold it tightly.
Lift it.
I think he had his supper before he died. The body is so heavy.
Kashi, don't drop it. - Come on.
O-Oh, my God!
When I look at his smile, it's hard to believe that he is dead.
Let me get my hands on that money
and then I'll have a smile on my face too. - Shut up!
Someone is coming towards us. Get in the vehicle.
Get in..
Is he drunk or did he receive an electric shock?
Hey, where are you taking him?
Oh, it's him.
It's none of your business!
I feel like killing him! Where is the knife that I'd kept here?
Hey.. - I got it. I'll kill him now. - What are you doing?
Hey, go home right now.. - I will.
Do you know what he did?
He kissed Thamara. - It's not a big deal.
When good fortune is right around the corner
don't ruin it by getting into unnecessary fights.
But.. - Get in the vehicle. I say, get in the vehicle.
Come. Oh, no!
I'll drive and you should sit at the back holding the body.
If the vehicle hits any potholes, the body would fall on the road.
If anyone asks about it, tell them that we are taking
him to a doctor because he is passed out and is drunk. - Okay.
Do you understand? - Yes. - Get in the vehicle. - Hold on tight.
Damn!
Hey, Mr. Kashi.. - What? - Wait.
I want to know where you are taking him.
W-We are taking him to doctor. - I see he has come again.
What are you doing here? - Hey, old man.. - What?
Don't you dare shout at me!
I don't work for you anymore. - Let me take the knife. - Take it.
Please go home without creating a scene so late at night.
I-I will. - Go.. - But tell me where you are taking Antony.
W-We.. - What? - He drank a little too much today.
So we are taking him.. - Where?
We already told you that we are taking him to the doctor.
Calm down. - He has not passed out drunk for the first time, is he?
H-He drank a little too much today.
So? - And he passed out.
Tell me. - He woke up.
Then? - He passed out and woke up again. - Really?
And that's why.. - You've never cared about him.
So why do it now? - That's because..
Both of us are reputable men in our village. - So what?
We have certain responsibilities towards the people of the village.
Do you think you are an MP? - He is right.
That's why we decided to take him to the doctor.
Oh!
What's the use of taking his corpse to the doctor? - What?
Whose corpse are you talking about? Shut up, pig!
Let the police decide that.
I'm going to the police station. - Hey..
Tell them what really happened. - Just listen to me.
I won't. - Let them find the murderer and his motive.
W-Why would someone murder him?
I'll hear your answer when the police thrash you.
Hey, let him call the police. - That's the way to go about it.
Hey.. Please listen to me.
We didn't kill him.
He died on his own. - Really? How? - I'll tell you.
He died just the way your mother died.
I'll beat him to a pulp now.
Calm down. - Remove his dhoti. - Go there.. - Where?
I'll explain everything in detail.
If you don't believe it, you may inform the police. Come.
I want to thrash him at least once. - Come with me. - Send him here.
Just send him here. - Shut up. - I'll deal with him.
Just look at his face.
Look at his smile.
Doesn't it tell you that he wasn't murdered?
Such a funny smile! - Do you agree or not?
Tell me. - How many crores are you offering me?
You aren't getting anything. - Please be quiet.
We'll be imprisoned if he informs the police.
We have no other option. So please agree.
What is it? - Wait. - What? - Come with me.
What do you want? - I don't want the money. - Then?
You should agree to one condition. - Okay, we will.
I want to marry Thamara. - In your dreams!
That's never going to happen.
As long as I'm alive, I won't let you marry her.
I can wait for him to die as it's going to happen soon.
He'll be hanged to death as he has committed murder.
Mr. Kashi, I'll marry her after that.
Irrespective of the number of murders committed, a man
can be hanged to death only once. So I'll kill him too.
Kill me right now then, dimwit! - Stop it. Come here. Listen to me.
Come.. - Leave me.
Just give him the money. That will settle it.
I won't let him marry my daughter.
Why not give him Rs. 1.5 crores and let him marry her?
No way. - What?
You'll never find a groom as rich as him for your daughter.
Think straight.
Do you get my point?
What are you thinking?
You have a point.
Why didn't I think of this earlier, Kashi?
There is a time for everything, Nallavan.
Kallu, he has agreed to the marriage. - No, I haven't.
I'll stuff something in your mouth. I've agreed to the marriage.
Thamara is my daughter as well. - How is that possible?
I'll tell you after we get the money.
Since things have gotten this far, you should come with us too.
Then we'll throw the body into the river.
If not, we won't get the money, and you can't get married.
Start the vehicle. Get in..
Start the engine. - This is the first time that a corpse
has paved the way for a marriage.
Have all the vehicles come?
I think that there is a problem.
Panchavarnam, her mother, her uncle, the timber merchant..
Where are they all going so late at night?
I'll be back soon.
Let's tell them and ask them to come with us.
What is the matter?
Thank God we ran into you. We were looking for you. - Why?
What is the matter?
We need an urgent village gathering.
Since you are the main men of the gathering
we were asked to bring you immediately. - But.. Nallavan..
Is this the time for a village gathering?
Panchavarnam's husband, Maarimuthu
has given a necklace to the dancer, Alamelu
who came to perform at the temple.
Alamelu claims that she bought the necklace from Marimuthu.
Also, Marimuthu is missing now. - We need to take a decision soon
as Alamelu will leave shortly.
Without the two of you, we can't have the village meeting.
Mr. Antony, we didn't notice you!
What? Move. - Move..
On our way, we saw him lying down, passed out. He is really drunk.
We might lose him if we don't take him to a doctor.
We shall also come to the doctor with you
and then let's all go for the gathering. - No.. Kallu..
Ask them to move. - Move.. - Give him some air.
Come here. - He is sitting here for fresh air. - What?
I think the situation is getting out of control.
Hey, move.
Come here.
We'll be in trouble if they come with us. - That's what I said!
Oh! Do this. - Okay.
Tell them that we'll follow them. - But how? - Send Kallu here.
I'll take care of the rest. Go..
Kallu.. - Yes. - Kashi wants to talk to you. - Okay. - Come here.
Everybody get in. - Tell me. - We've to go with them.
I want you to throw the corpse into the river from the bridge.
Go through the by-lanes.
You might run into someone otherwise.
Then take the vehicle to my home.
I'll see you in the morning.
I can't do it alone.
Do something on your own at least once in a while.
If I let him marry my daughter, I'd have to find
someone else to tie the nuptial chain. - Mr. Kashi..
Listen to me.. Mr. Kashi.. - Come on. - Get in..
I'll come with you as well. - Kallu, listen..
Take him to the doctor and drop him at his home.
But.. How can I do it alone?
Damn!
Oh, God!
Oh, Goddess!
It's dad!
I won't stop!
Hey.
Why is she zigzagging all across the road?
Hey!
This door is so hard to open.
Hey, Thamara.. Stop. It's me.
What are you doing? - It's you!
Why were you zigzagging all across the road?
Why are you driving dad's vehicle? - It's a long story.
We need not elope now. - What?
Your dad will allow me to marry you.
How?
That's how. - Really? - Stop kidding.
I wasn't. Antony is in the vehicle.
Come with me.
I don't lie.
Oh, no!
Oh, God! Where is the rickshaw?
I-I'd parked it here.
Did someone steal it?
Hey, there it is.
Look. - Where?
Oh, no!
How did it end up there?
Kallu.. Be careful.
Where is Antony?
Antony..
I can't find him.
Did the corpse move on its own?
What am I going to tell them?
If I tell your dad that the corpse is missing, I might end up dead.
Wait here. Let me search for him.
Antony.. - Kallu.. Please don't go further.
Antony.. - It's the forest further down.
There will be snakes and scorpions.
Don't discourage me.
Antony.. Why can't he answer me?
Someone is coming this way.
We'll be in trouble if they see us.
Even the demons won't dare search for a corpse at this hour.
Come here now. Let's go.
Kallu!
Karuppan, did your cow give birth?
It'll be next week.
Is Kallu there?
Brother is asleep. - Wake him up.
Tell him we have arrived. - Okay.
He came home at midnight. - Go.
What happened, Mr. Kashi?
Come. - What is it?
Let me tell you.
Does he bathe, eat and rest on the elephant's back?
What is it?
Well.. - Yes.
Did you get rid of the dead body?
No, I didn't. - Then did you hang it out in the open?
I dumped the river into the body as you told me to.
Dumped the river into the body?
I mean I dumped the body into the river.
Did you keep his liquor bottle in your pocket?
The liquor bottle..
Yes, I kept that in my pocket. - This sly devil is lying.
Whenever he lies, he stammers.
Whatever I said was the truth.
I did whatever you told me to. - Then show it to us.
The body must have risen to the surface.
The body won't be there now.
Did the body go to take a dump? - I don't know.
That.. - He is lying, liar.
Not that. - Then what was it?
There were strong currents yesterday.
The body must've reached the ocean by now.
He is right. - What was right?
The currents are strong.
Let us think that we got lucky.
Isn't it? - Yes, the high currents are lucky.
Is he thinking about the body? - What now?
Then do this. - Okay.
I have kept a sack in the car.
Go and put the money in that sack.
Rs. 5 crores.
What's wrong with him?
What do you think this is? Is this cow feed
to give it to us in a sack?
Then? - He has nothing in his head.
You won't get the money that way.
If we win a lottery of more than Rs. One lakh
we have to inform the lottery office.
Then they will send an inspector. - A police inspector!
Not the police. - Oh.
A lottery inspector.
He will come.
He will ask us a few questions.
Where we stay, what we do
if we have a family
and if we have a ration card.
Only after they are done asking all that
will they give us the money. - Why didn't you tell us earlier?
Who are you to be told.. - Shut up.
Mr. Kashi, what should we do now?
We have to call the lottery office and inform them.
'Sir, I won the first prize.'
What?
Hello.
I-Is this Bhagyalakshmi Lottery office?
We are calling from Gowlipady.
We won the first prize in the current lottery.
Yes.
The ticket number is
37..
What happened?
Our ticket.. - Our ticket?
Why are you sweating so much?
Why are you sweating? Tell us what happened.
It's not safe to talk about it over here.
Let's go somewhere where we can be alone.
Come. Get in the car.
Stop..
Oh, God.
Oh.
What is the matter, Mr. Kashi?
Why is he sitting like this?
Forget about that money.
It's gone. - What?
I'm thinking about how to keep us from getting jailed.
Tell us what happened.
That scoundrel told everybody. - To whom?
What did he say?
Antony called and told all the lottery officials.
How can a dead body make calls?
He wasn't born dead, you idiot.
He called and told them before he died.
Hello!
Is this Bhagyalakshmi Lottery office?
I have the ticket.
I have the ticket that has won Rs. 5 crores.
Name? It's Bhagyalakshmi.
Oh, my name?
My name is Antony Fernandez.
I'll give you the ticket number.
The ticket number is
BA378
9..
10
11..
Not just that
the lottery officials called Antony.
Why did they do that?
To check whether it's true.
To check whether he is dead?
No. To check everything he said.
The lottery officials know that Rs. 5 crores is for Antony.
Oh, God.
So what about my marriage?
Let your father and mother get married. Get lost!
But you gave me your word. - It's just my word.
It's not a contract, is it?
Get out of here.
I am not going to let a poor beggar like you marry my daughter.
Just wait! You and your word.
Stop fighting with each other and try to solve this.
Don't bite off more than you can chew.
Weren't you all so thrilled?
Marriage, celebrations, money and other bullshit!
What happened now?
I am the one who is screwed.
I am not talking about the money. - Then what?
Look.
Now the lottery inspector will be here searching for Antony.
One day, Antony's dead body will turn up somewhere.
And the police will connect the dots.
They will say that someone killed him for those Rs. 5 crores.
Are we screwed? - That Panchavarnam, her uncle
and that other woman will tell them that we took him to the doctor.
And the doctor will tell them that he never saw us.
After that, the story will change.
And we will be the ones who killed him.
Damn. We should have never thrown away his body.
It's in the river now.
The body is lost. The money is gone.
Now we will go to jail too.
Not us. I am not going to jail.
I will tell the police that you guys killed him.
I will definitely tell them.
I told him not to do anything stupid.
Then he started talking about Mahalakshmi, her sister Gomathi
and her mother Kamakshi with the body.. - Quiet. - Hey.
What did you say last night? - Tractor Mathunni.
Where did you go with Antony?
What did I say?
Weren't we with you?
Isn't he the one who was with Antony? - Yes.
Hey. W-What? Me? - Yes, we didn't.
Y-Yes. I am the one who took him to the doctor.
Which doctor?
I-I didn't get there. H-He woke up on the way.
H-He jumped from the vehicle, saying he didn't want to meet
the bloody doctor. I haven't seen him since.
So where did the body..? - Don't.
Body? He is not going to die that easily.
Go and see for yourself.
He is sitting peacefully on top of a tree in the forest.
What?
You liar. What did you tell us?
Didn't you say that he went down the river?
How the hell did the body get out of the water?
I don't know. It might have swum out. - Is Antony
some kind of crocodile to swim ashore?
Maybe a peacock. - I am going to kill you.
You liar.. - Don't fight here
and make a commotion. What do we do now?
Listen. We have to get him down.
There might be a chance for us to save ourselves.
Goddess Lakshmi hasn't abandoned us yet.
Stop..
Come on. - Get down? - Yes.
How are we going to find him?
Just come here.
I have no idea.
How the hell did he get here from the river?
He must be lying.
Hey. - What? - There he is. Between those trees.
Look. - How the hell did this drunkard get there? Isn't he dead?
Tell me the truth. What the hell did you do?
Tell us the truth. I-I will tell you.
Yesterday when I got down to piss.. - Did the body come with you
to piss? - N-No. When I was taking a leak
the vehicle rolled downhill.. - And then? See..
Wait. - And it hit a tree. - Okay.
When I got there, he wasn't there. - I will kill you. - Wait..
I know what happened. - What?
Due to the force of the impact, Antony was flung up the tree.
Don't waste any more time now.
Get the cables from the vehicle. - What for?
Don't we have to get him down? Go.
Don't let the crows eat him. - What?
Get away from there. If that branch breaks
there will be two dead bodies.
Might be three.
Here is the cable. What now? - Hang yourself with that.
Then we can get rid of you. - Be quiet.
Climb up with that.
Tie one end to his body. Drop the other end.
Come on. Climb up.
'I should tie it around his neck.'
Your son-in-law is amazing.
He is climbing up like a monkey. - His father climbs up
the elephant even faster when he sees his creditors. - Quiet.
Did you tie it?
That is what I'm doing. I did.
Now do one thing. - What? - Drop the other end.
Drop it.
Give it to me. This is not suited for your kind.
You need someone strong. Let's see.
Wait..
Just give it a nudge.
Just a little. - Okay.
Would the dead body be hurt?
Don't tell anyone that I killed you.
Here I come!
Oh, God.
Everyone must think that he is just drunk and unconscious.
What the hell!
Is that how it is?
It must be all right now.
Why is this hand like this? - This looks like the Thumbs Up ad.
His body is in rigor mortis. It won't move now.
What are you doing?
When that inspector gets here, he won't come close
due to the smell of alcohol.
We will tell him that he is drunk and that he gave us the ticket.
Go and get his ration card. - Okay.
He will just verify the ration card and go.
Go.. - Where am I going to find the ration card?
How the hell did this get here? - This hand..
Take this.
Oh, my God!
Hey! - Do you want me to kill you?
Are we screwed? - Who is that?
It might be the lottery inspector. Come on. Let's see.
Really?
Dear Johnny.
Where are you?
Where are you, dear?
My dear Johnny.
Dear!
Where is he?
Who the hell is this? - Dear.
Dear Johnny.
Isn't he here?
Where is he?
Dear!
Who is this?
Since she is calling him lovingly, she must be his mother.
I have never seen her anywhere near here.
Wait there.
Who the hell are you? - Bloody..
You bloody.. - She is bad. Very bad.
Who the hell are you people?
What are you doing in my home?
You must be here to steal the money.
Bloody liars.
Oh, were you sitting here?
How long has it been since I last saw you?
Oh, God. You are still a drunkard.
Shouldn't you stop it now?
We are millionaires now.
Look at me, dear. I am your sister, Mary.
Oh, my God! He fell!
Hey, dear..
Hey, wake up.
This is me. Your sister. Get up.
Tell me the truth. What were you doing here?
What happened to Johnny?
Tell me the truth.
Or else I will make you pay.
H-He is dead.
Who killed him?
Nobody did. He died on his own. - Yes.
Oh, my God! What am I going to do?
Forget that. Where is the ticket?
"Money.."
She wants the ticket.
"Money.." - What ticket?
Yes. I need that ticket.
T-Ticket is.. - T-Ticket..
What are you hiding? Give it to me.
- He has the ticket.
Where is it? - What? - Where is the ticket?
Ticket.. - Don't you have it?
T-Ticket.. I do. - Give it to me.
How many do you need? - Give it to me.
Do you need this month's ticket or the next?
Either one costs Rs. 50. - Give that to your bloody wife.
I need my brother's lottery ticket, which is worth five crores.
I-I don't know anything about that. - You don't, do you?
I don't know anything. - Don't you?
Dear ma'am.
The ticket might have died with Antony.
That might be.. - Shut up!
There are only three of them here. No one else. - True.
And the lottery ticket is missing.
Do you think we are fools?
What are we going to say?
C-Can I ask you something? - Sure.
Who told you that there is a ticket here worth five crores?
Antony told me..
Dear sister. Come here fast.
I got a load of money.
Oh, my God. It's five crores.
No. I am not drunk or mad.
I won the lottery worth five crores.
That is why I am here now.
Give me the ticket.
Give it to her.
Throw it in her face.
Let her take it all.
And try to get home before dark.
We have been doing this for two days now.
Nothing we planned is going to work now.
Hey. What about Thamara and me?
I am going to throw your proposal to Thamara away.
Now you are screwed.
If I see you around here anymore
I will dismember you. You bloody dog. - Wait, Nallavan.
Just wait. - Let me out of this body business.
I don't want anything. - That is not it.
Let me tell you something. - Don't.
Nallavan.. - Don't.
What? - Wait.
Kallu, wait.
Ma'am, let me tell you something.
Suppose we give you the lottery ticket.
That belongs to me. - Sure. If we did.
What will you do with it? - What will I do? - Yes.
Do you know what Antony told the lottery office?
What? - He told them his whole history
right down to the number of stitches on his coat.
Even the amount of alcohol he has left.
There is nothing else for him to tell them.
They know everything.
An inspector will be here from the lottery office.
And when he does, he will see you with the body.
They will think that you killed Antony.
You will be arrested.
A minimum of ten years in jail.
Then you and your husband will be eating jail food.
Do you know how jail food is? - Get out of here.
You are screwed too, child.
You will become a beggar this early in life. - You dog!
This is bad. This whole family is bad.
Well.. Do you understand me?
Oh, my God. Won't we get the money?
Just God cannot help you now.
But we can help each other for the money.
I don't get it. - I will tell you.
Come here, ma'am.
What? - Come here.
Come on. - Okay.
Place that body in the chair.
Come here. - Okay.
Some dead body..
Do you agree or not?
Why are you silent?
Is there no other way? - There is.
There is a police station right around the corner.
Then let's do it. - Okay. - But.. - What?
I need to know something. - What?
How much will each of us get?
I know you are the kind who will cheat for money.
That is written on your faces.
All right. We will divide it into four.
Between Kallu, Nallavan, me and you.
We need three.
For what? - There are two people with me.
So I need three shares. - In that case, I have a daughter
two pigs, two cows and some chickens.
Don't. - Don't they need a share too?
What the hell? - There will only be four.
Okay. So how much will one person get?
RS. 1.25 crores. We will get Rs. 1.25 crores each.
Rs. 1.25 crores. - Yes.
Okay. Then I agree.
So what about my marriage?
Your marriage! - Let it go.
Be quiet. Since it's already late
the inspector might not come. - I'm going to marry his daughter.
We will be here tomorrow morning.
Come here. Come here..
Ma'am, come here.
Don't open the door for anyone else until we get here.
Okay. - If we come
we will say five crores.. Then you can open. - Okay.
First, let them close it. Then we can open it.
Close it. - Come here, dear.
Help me. Come on.
Azhagi..
Do you know?
What? - We decided not to run away.
Why is that? - Dad agreed to let us get married.
Did he change his decision so soon?
How did that happen? - That is the magic of money.
No way. I won't tell you anything.
You will tell everyone.
Since this is a matter between you and my brother
I won't do you any harm.
Nobody will know. Tell me.
Got him.
Hey. What are you doing?
I was waiting to catch him without his elephant.
Today is my lucky day. - Nallavan.
Come on. Come here.
Be careful.
Either I get my money or his head.
It's been two and a half years since
he borrowed Rs. 5,000 from me.
Every time I ask him, he gets on top of his elephant.
I was coming to you. To throw it on your face.
Are you here to return my money? - Yes.
Then give it to me. - How much do I owe you?
Rs. 5,000.
Is it Rs. 5,000? - Yes.
Is that enough? Or do you need any interest on it?
Where did you get this much money?
From my elephant's dung.
Come to the point.
Do you need the interest or not?
Forget the interest. Just give me the amount.
That is enough. - All right.
Then give me the rest after reducing the Rs. 5,000.
Deducting from where? From these bloody trees?
Have you gone mad?
People may become mad if they win five crores.
Five crores, is it?
Who did? When? Don't joke around.
I will cut your tongue out and feed it to the dogs.
You don't know anything, do you? How sweet!
Antony. Corpse.
Five crores. Murder.
The river. The tree.
You should know that there is someone up
on the elephant who saw all of it.
Forget that.
I just need to know how much my share is.
What is he talking about?
Don't you understand Malayalam?
Then I will speak in Tamil.
How much will I get?
Do you understand?
Who told him?
That drunkard must have told him.
You don't need to know who told me.
I know everything. I need my cut now.
I will get you your cut right now.
Let me go. - Listen to me.. - I will be happier
than getting five crores.. - Nallavan.
...if I could just take his head
and kick it around with my leg. - Are you.. Are you mad?
Don't make a commotion in public. Get in the vehicle.
We will decide once we reach Antony's house.
Come on. Get in. - I will get you
and your bloody elephant. - Get in the vehicle.
Come on. Get in.
Come on.
Give me my Rs. 5,000 back. - Hey.
I told you to deduct it, didn't I?
Are you trying to scare me with your elephant? - Get in.
Get in the vehicle, Mangalam. - That is my elephant's name.
Whatever. Get in. - Punch him. - Just listen to me.
Get in. This bloody door!
Let's go.
Bloody liar.
Don't talk nonsense when we get there.
Don't. - No. We won't.
Tell us.. - Come on.. - No.
Wait..
We can't get in. - Why is that?
I don't know.
There is a group of people making a commotion at the door.
Oh, Lord. Did everyone find out?
Everything might have become a wreck.
Everyone must have found out.
I knew this idiot would screw up.. - What did I do?
We should go and check it out.
Come on. - Let's see.
Are you all deaf?
Didn't I tell you people that you can't meet him?
Why can't we see him?
Well.. Antony is sleeping. That is why.
He will wake up, won't he? - What?
He will wake up, won't he? - He will. But I don't know when.
He was drinking all night. I don't know when he will wake up.
Go and ask some seer. - Is that so?
There is something fishy going on.
We won't leave without knowing the truth.
What are you.. - No.. Wait..
What is the matter? - Mr. Kashi. - Yes.
Mr. Antony called me the night before yesterday. - Okay.
He told me to come and collect the Rs. 900 he owes me.
He told me he won a lottery worth five crores.
He told me to bring Kamakshi, Chakunni, Anthappa and Kuntharan.
This bloody pig has told everyone.
That guy was drunk and lied to everyone.
And all of you believed him.
Five crores!
He told me yesterday that he wanted my elephant.
He said he would give me Rs. 50 lakhs for it.
He wanted to drink alcohol
while riding the elephant.
Come here. - I can't believe this.
I will kill you if you wreck it with your overacting.
Then why did he call us here?
Wait. - This Mary hasn't been here for so long.
They were fighting over money.
How the hell did she suddenly become this loving sister?
Well.. - He must have won the lottery.
Whatever. We won't leave without seeing Antony.
That is true. - Everyone can stay here forever.
He will be resurrected someday. We will see.
Don't say that, Mr. Nallavan. - Stop it. - Decide it.
Are we fools? - Stop it. Calm down.
We will go and meet Antony.
We will get to the matter after that. How is that? - Okay.
Ma'am, come here. Come on. - They will check.
Where are you going? Manage everything here.
Aren't you his brother-in-law? Where is this guy going?
It feels very suspicious. - True.
I won't..
I am not going to give them anything. - Will you
listen to me? - I don't want to hear anything. - Are you sure?
Yes. - Then we are leaving. - Then go.
You are the one who told them that Antony is sleeping.
If they find out he is dead, they will blame you.
And you will be screwed. We will slip away.
Go and say that to your bloody.. - Where? - Shut up!
What the hell! - All right, then.
Okay. How many are there?
Well.. There are 12 people.
And we are five. - Five?
There were only four until yesterday.
See this shit. He knows too.
Who is he?
That is.. Mangalam.
Mangalam is my elephant's name.
How did the elephant find out?
Ask that bloody drunkard.
Everyone in the village knows now. - Calm down.
Still, our cut won't be too low.
Everyone will get a minimum of at least Rs. 30 lakhs. - Then
let's call everyone, ma'am. Shall we? - Wait..
I will call them.
If it wasn't for his good heart
that thief would have run away with my necklace. - True.
Nallavan is the one who spoke for me in public
and got me my necklace back.
Mathuri, go straight to Nallavan's home.
I want to thank him in person.
There is no need to go to his home. That is his milk vehicle.
He will be around here.
He might be delivering milk.
Wait near the vehicle. He will come. - There.
Stop the vehicle, mister.
Until we get the money
no one should find that Antony is dead.
That doesn't mean you need to shout around that he is alive.
Stop your speech. Now count.
Tell me how many shares there are.
How many times do we need to count?
They are 12
and we are five.
"We're in a big problem now."
Did you hear anything that happened here?
We heard everything. - Oh, no.
Why are you just standing there? Come in.
"We're in a big problem now."
- Now you have to count again.
Now, how much is the cut for each of us? - Bullshit!
Bloody hell! - We can't decide yet.
We don't know how many more he has told it to.
He is messing with us even after death.
If he was alive, I would have kicked him
to death! - Wait. Don't kill him yet.
First understand something.
We can't keep this body here for much longer.
It will smell after two days.
After that, we won't have to tell anyone else that he's dead.
Even if he is an idiot, he is right.
Yes. - We have to bury him.
Then what will we tell the lottery inspector?
When we go to bury him, everyone will see.
Damn it. We are all screwed.
Stop it! Stop making a fuss.
I know a way. - What is that?
What way? - Can we go through that way? - Shut up!
We will have to bury Antony.
But no one else should know that we did.
We will go and see the priest.
What if the lottery inspector asks for Antony?
Can we show him the cemetery?
You idiot! This is a serious matter.
Don't interrupt me.
Where was I?
Interrupting.. - Damn it!
About what to tell the inspector.
Yes. Can I ask you something?
Has the inspector seen Antony before?
He doesn't know what Antony looks like.
So
someone of us will be Antony for a while.
Who could that be?
Who? - Who?
There is no point in looking at each other.
We have to decide now.
I will decide. - Tell us.
Can I? - Okay.
It will be you.
What? - It will be you. - No..
I am not going to do it.
No. - No.. - It should be you. - I can't.
I don't even know how to make the sign of a cross.
Mary will teach you that.
Think of it as a drama at the Maariamma Temple.
Just for a while.
You don't have to say anything.
The inspector will ask you whether you are Antony.
And you just need to agree.
The inspector will ask you..
'Are you Antony?' - Yes.
That is all.
Will I be in trouble?
Don't worry.
Mary is his sister.
If she says you are Antony
the inspector will not have any doubts.
None of us will disagree with it.
Please agree to this. There's no other way out.
You haven't said anything.
I won't ring the bell. No one else will know about this.
I will do the funeral without even Christ knowing about it.
But there's a problem. - What?
I don't know where the Father is. - So sad.
Why don't you ask your mother?
She will definitely know who your father is.
Hey! If I punch you, all 40 teeth will break.
But aren't there just 32 teeth in total?
I will break the remaining eight from your mouth.
He's a stupid guy. - Shut up!
Deacon..
I was talking about the priest, not my father.
I don't know where the hell he is.
Mass is held only once a week here.
That's the only time he comes here.
Who else will do the last rites?
In a way, that's better. - Why?
He wouldn't agree to this if he were here.
What will we do now?
We can do this. - Okay.
There's a parish in Bandipur. - Okay.
I will go and bring the priest from there.
There's another advantage in that.
He won't recognise the dead man. - Yes.
You will have to take care of all his expenses. - Okay.
There will be five people, including me. - Five.
Divide the cash accordingly. - Okay.
Don't argue then.
It's a matter of money, so.. - So the share will reduce more.
He's very greedy.
Let the money be reduced. We've to get the work done.
We will get something anyway.
The lottery inspector hasn't turned up yet.
When is he finally going to come?
Let him come anytime.
We have made all the arrangements.
Mr. Ouseph has gone to Bandipur to bring the priest.
Antony's funeral will take place as soon as he comes.
Then we have nothing to fear.
You have always been saying that there's nothing to fear.
When things go wrong, you escape.
That's how I have become Antony.
I'm scared if my funeral will take place when the priest comes.
You be Antony. I will take care of the rest.
Hello, sir!
Does this road lead to Gowlipady?
The road won't go to Gowlipady. We will have to go.
This is Gowlipady. Where do you want to go?
Do you know Mr. Antony's house?
"Money.."
Oh, my God!
I think he's the lottery inspector. Turn your face away.
"Money.."
I know Antony's house. He's my friend.
Is it? Which is the way to his house?
The way to his house..
You have to go straight, cross the bridge and turn right.
You'll see a Banyan tree. - Okay.
When you go further down, there's a canal. - Okay.
That's not where his house is.
You have to go straight and then take a right. - Okay.
Antony's house is not there.
After the temple, you have to turn east.
There you will find a road to the west. Don't go there.
If you go straight, there will be a road to the south and north.
If you go to the south, you will be trapped.
You have to turn right.. Oh, that's Mathai's house.
Yes. That's the one.
Go straight, take a left and then turn right.
There's a shop over there.
But that's not where Antony lives.
I know of an easy route.
You can ask the shopkeeper.
I.. I didn't understand.
If you want, I can come with you.
Oh, is it? It would be a great favour.
I'll be right back. Please wait.
"Money.."
I think we are in trouble.
Nothing is wrong. Take the cycle and go to Antony's house.
We will come in the car. - What are you saying?
Will the cycle reach there faster than the car?
Have you seen frogs circling inside a well?
I will roam around and delay him.
I'm coming..
When I knock, you must open the door. - Go!
"Fighting, chaos, tension, confusion and trouble."
"The hare and the tortoise. - The hare and the tortoise."
How far is it from here? - It's right after this turn.
It's been a long time. - Village roads are like that.
Do you really know Antony's house? - Of course, I do.
What kind of a question is that?
There aren't any temples here like you'd told me earlier.
That's on the long route. This is a shortcut.
This is a straight path.
Take a left from here.
Take a left from there too. - Left?
Left. - It's too narrow.
Okay, then. Let's take a right from there.
Let's ask that lady. - No, let's go.
I know the way. - "The hare and the tortoise."
"The hare and the tortoise."
Oh, God!
Why did you stop?
Sir, do you know where Antony lives?
I know. Let's go.
I don't trust you.
You're making me take the same route again and again.
Sir. Excuse me.
That's Nachappa. He is deaf.
How do you know? You haven't seen his face till now.
I know everyone who lives here.
Start the vehicle. I'll take you to Antony's house.
Make it fast..
"Fighting, chaos, tension, confusion and trouble."
We saw this same lady earlier, isn't it?
No, it was her sister.
This is Thattama. Her sister is Mangamma.
They are the daughters of Kalamma.
How is it possible? - Why?
She is wearing the same sari and she is carrying the same pot.
They're twins.
They buy similar things.
Take a left. - There isn't a left.
Not this one. On the next turn.
Stop.. - Have we reached?
There's no house here. - No, I just wanted to pee.
I'm fed up with him.
I'm coming..
"The hare and the tortoise. - The hare and the tortoise."
Do you pee only once a month? What is this?
Do you want to pee? - No.
There is a good breeze. - Get inside.
"Fighting, chaos, tension, confusion and trouble."
Stop here.
This is Antony's house.
Is Antony here? - Yes, he is inside.
He is here. - Antony.
Antony. Yes, come here.
Ask him why this person is here to meet you.
This is Antony. - What?
This isn't Antony. - This is Antony.
You can ask his father. - Yes, he is the one.
This isn't Antony. - I'm sure. This is Antony.
You said that he was your childhood playmate.
Yes, he is a child and I play with him.
The Antony I'm looking for is around 50 years old.
Okay. I know five Antonys
in this village who are 50 years old.
Let go. I'll show you each and every one of them.
Oh, God! Do you know Antony of the Arkoth house?
Arkoth house.. - That's Mr. Drunkard. - Yes.
Mr. Drunkard. - Shut up.
Do you know him? - Yes, I do.
Will you take me there? - Sure.
Then let's go. - You have to take me back.
No way. Did anyone ask you to enter my vehicle?
This is the reason I don't help people who come from the city.
Anyway, I'll join you. I am staying nearby.
Why are you coming with us? - I have some work there.
Let's go..
Stop here..
Arkoth Antony.
Antony..
Antony.
Antony? - Are you trying to awaken a dead person?
I'll kick your face in.
Don't utter a word.
What is the matter? - The inspector is here.
My God! - Where is the dead body?
It's there in the chair.
Take it inside and close the door.
Why are these guys lying here?
They're here since morning.
Where is Nallavan? He will come now.
If the inspector asks for him
tell him that he is in the bathroom.
Listen. Close the window and open the door.
Close the window and open the door.
Sir, please come.
This is Mary. Antony's sister.
Is Antony here? - He is having a bath after lunch.
A bath after food?
Usually, people take a bath and then eat.
My brother is a bit different from everyone else.
Sometimes he takes a bath after eating
and sometimes he does the opposite.
Who are you? - I'm Vijay Nambiar.
I'm the Bhagyalakshmi Lottery inspector. - Oh!
Please have a seat. - Sit here. - Give him the chair. - Please sit.
Do you want tea or coffee? - I don't drink either.
Get me a glass of water. - Pure water.
Pure water. I-I'm restless.
Do these guys stay here?
They.. - No, we will be leaving once they pay us.
Is this the newest person receiving a share?
Share? - These guys work for Antony.
They're here for their wages. This is their leader.
He cares only about money. He is good for nothing.
Don't utter a single word.
He is a lottery inspector.
If he suspects anything, we will lose everything.
Tell them too.
Is he still eating?
Yes, I believe so. He belches after finishing his food.
He will come soon. He doesn't like to be disturbed while having food.
What do you do? - Me?
I make a living with lotteries. - Do you sell them?
No, I buy them.
Can you make a living buying lotteries? - Yes.
The people in this village believe in luck.
Isn't it, Mangalam? - I'd told you that's my elephant's name.
Do you own an elephant? - Yes, he does.
But because of starvation, it resembles a donkey now.
Are you suffering from a cold? - Should I get a ginger tea?
No, I have a problem.
I catch a cold whenever I visit a village.
I am allergic to hay. - Oh.
Is he still eating?
Water.
God!
Is Antony still eating? - H-He is having his dessert.
He will come after having some 'Avial'.
Isn't Antony a human being?
What made you say that? - Just a doubt.
It's hot here. Let's sit inside. - Yes.
There's a fan inside.
Please come.
Have a seat here.
How much longer will it take for him to finish lunch?
He will be here shortly. - I have to ask.
Was he starving all these days? What kind of a lunch is this?
If it's difficult for him to come here, I'll go there and meet him.
No, we will go there and talk to him.
Go and call him. - I'll call him. Take your seat.
Have a seat.
I'll sit here. - Okay.
What will we do?
I think that everything is going to get messed up.
We need to bring him inside. Open the back door.
Oh, no! The door is locked.
I don't know where the key is. - Oh, God! It's all messed up.
My God!
Oh, God!
Someone catch me.
What just happened?
Are you playing games?
I came here after asking my neighbour
to take care of my daughter.
She is just six years old, and she doesn't have a mother.
I need to drive for five hours to get back home.
She will start crying if I am late.
I'm the only one to take care of her.
I have to return quickly.
Where the hell is he?
Who? - Antony. Is he here or not?
I'm here.
Antony is here.
Hello!
You said that he was having his lunch.
Yes, we also said that he takes a bath after lunch.
What happened to him?
I don't use soap while bathing.
Dr. Kumar says that I'll become more handsome if I use ash.
He uses ash and then cleans it.
Is he a buffalo?
Who is he?
I'm a lottery inspector.
I was waiting for you all day.
I don't have time for chit-chat.
Can you please bring your lottery ticket and ration card?
I'll bring it now. - Okay.
Why is his leg inside that pot?
He has a swollen foot.
The doctor advised him to dip his leg in hot water.
He doesn't have time to sit.
So he keeps working like this.
He is weird.
Dessert, 'Avial' and now a swollen foot.
Here's my ration card and lottery ticket.
This is okay.
This is okay, too.
Sign here. - Sign?
Can I give a thumb impression?
Thumb? - That would be enough.
Hold this.
The priest is here to bury Antony.
Bury?
That is.. He has a nasty father.
Both the son and father fight about everything.
They always say that
they'll kill and bury each other after getting drunk.
Now his father needs half of the amount which he has won.
Or else he says that he will bury him.
This is the problem when you get rich overnight.
I'll.. - Isn't your daughter alone?
If you start now, you can reach home before dusk.
Come. Let's go.
Swami! - What? I'll be back.
What is it? - Whose father is nasty?
Who has a swollen leg? - Let him go.
If I smack you, your face would be swollen.
There is a limit to make a fool out of me just for a little money.
If you repeat this, I'll leave everything and go.
Oh, God! - My leg! He will kill me.
Someone, please help me to get rid of this pot.
Oh, no. I forgot to take his signature on this.
Nobody is here. Everyone has left for the church.
Church? - Uncle is no more. They went to bury his body.
Uncle?
Before the burial, if any of his relatives speak a few words
about him, his soul will rest in peace.
Someone please come forward.
Somebody go and say something so that we can bury him quickly.
You can go ahead.
I cannot say anything.
Also, I don't have anything good to say about him.
He had troubled me a lot.
Go ahead. He wants to speak. - Come. Stand here and speak.
Go ahead.
Respected priest.
I am sad. The body will be buried.
Are you fine?
The respected priest
will bury the body.
I am really sad. Antony's..
Sorry.
Isn't that the inspector? - Yes.
What brings him here?
Now Kashi will address you. - Me?
Kashi, come here.
What else should I say? Just bury him.
You need to say something good about the deceased.
It's a good thing to do.
Nallavan, you trapped me.
Nallavan? This is Antony Fernandes. - Yes.
We used to call him Nallavan because of his good character.
Everyone used to call him that way.
Nallavan was a kind-hearted person.
He used to sell milk.
Now he is lying here dead.
Now, who will supply milk to this village?
His cows are roaming here and there
without an owner.
How will his only daughter bear the loss of her father?
It was the talk of the town that Nallavan was a harsh person.
But it's not the right time
to talk about all that when he is no more.
Although he is no more, he will live in our hearts forever.
May his soul rest in peace.
That's all from me.
Now you can carry the casket. - Yes, make it fast.
Ask him why he came back. - Yes.
If he stays here, he will spoil everything. - Yes.
Sir, what brings you here? - I wanted one more signature.
I'd forgot about it.
When I went to his house, that child said that you were all here.
I thought something happened to Antony.
It's not Antony. It's Nallavan. Antony is here. Come on.
See? He is alive.
Don't rush. I can wait till the rituals are over.
It's all over. We just need to bury him.
Isn't your daughter alone there? - It's okay.
No problem. I can wait. - It might take time.
Why? - Nallavan's daughter is abroad.
We're waiting for her arrival.
We will bury him only after she comes.
He forgot to take one of your signatures.
Please sign it. - I'm sorry.
Show your thumb.
Was Nallavan very close to you? - Yes.
Tell me where I should sign.
You might be really sad with this loss. - Yes.
Why did you say that Nallavan was a harsh person?
Where should I give my thumb impression?
How did he die? - He jumped into the lake.
He is gone. Now, why do you want to know all these things?
Where should I give my thumb impression?
Why did he jump into the lake?
He got bored staying on the shore. So he jumped into it.
You're going to pay for this.
I asked you seriously.
It's fine if you don't reply.
No, it's okay. Most people don't know
that Nallavan's wife eloped with.. - Your wife is the one who eloped.
Nallavan is still alive..
Nallavan is still alive. - Is he still alive?
No, he is no more.. - No!
Everyone knows that he's dead. - Come here.
He's dead, sir. His funeral is happening here.
Why is he shouting like this? - It's because he's in shock.
He still doesn't believe that Nallavan is no more.
That's how close they were.
Why are his legs bent like that?
He was handicapped by birth. - Your father was handicapped!
Sir, come here. He is still in shock.
What happened to you? Be calm.
What else should I do? I've suffered a lot.
He is not a lottery inspector. He is a police inspector.
He keeps asking all sorts of questions.
He is gone.
That's good. Otherwise, I'd have buried him now.
Make it fast.
If you walk faster, we can see Chellamini bathing in the pond.
That's right.
We need to hit his head and carry him away in this sack.
Come. Let's go.
We need to catch him.
Stop there.
Run!
Stop there.
Hey, stop there!
Hey, stop there.
Stand among them. They won't find us. Come on.
Thank you for coming.
We couldn't have buried him otherwise.
Your car is waiting outside. - Okay.
Praise the Lord. - May it be so forever. - Come.
Mr. Kashi. - Yes?
I've kept my word. - Yes.
No one else knows about this.
The Lord was with us. - Yes.
Now, you must not change your word.
When will we get the money? - When it's available!
I see. Were you using us?
I saw you sign the paper.
The cash is usually ready once you've signed the papers.
Then why didn't you receive it? - Hey!
This isn't a money order!
It's a lottery. That too, five crores!
We're going to divide the money that Antony won.
For that, you'll need patience.
Nobody will get their share
if you publicise this.
I will! Great!
So, all of you were trying to kill Antony
and get his money, weren't you?
I'll show all of you!
I'm going to tell my sister about this!
Then see what's going to happen!
Move! - Mayllappa.. Wait.
Just listen to me.
What's happened has happened.
Let's not fight over it.
Let me say something that would benefit us all.
We'll give you a share as well. - I don't need anything!
Will you get me married to Thamara or not?
You.. - What? - ... Mayllappa!
Like a lotus, Thamara would wither with time.
However, money would stay and flourish!
Flourish.. - No..
Let it not do anything!
I want to marry Thamara! Yes or no?
That will never happen!
Who are you to talk?
Let her father speak!
Tell me now, old man!
Tell me if you'll get me married to Thamara. Will you?
I shall.. - Tell me then!
Ouch!
How dare you! - Hey, stop it.
Hold them back!
Sister!
Don't leave him!
Run.. Catch him..
Sister!
Sister..
Oh, no!
Catch him!
Hey, come fast..
Stop..
Stop! Stop the vehicle, Kashi!
What happened? Did you find him?
How would we?
He ran like a rat trying to escape into a hole.
How did he come here?
What's the point in knowing that now?
You should've caught him!
He should not have thrashed him!
He can't be trusted.
If he ever interferes in anything
he always creates a mess out it!
I will not marry my daughter to him at any cost!
Shut up! - What?
You're fighting while we have a problem to deal with.
Mayllappa would've told her everything!
We're screwed! - What will we do, Mr. Kashi?
We're going to.. - Now..
Why don't you kill yourself?
I shall help you with that!
Before things go wrong
I suggest that all of you escape!
Why should we do that?
We were so close to the money.
Why should we hide now?
What do you expect us to do? - How do I know?
I can't explain this to the police!
I'm warning you! We are not involved in this! - Me too.
Yes. - Yes. - Yes! - Oh!
There's a way.
Why don't we give her a share of the money?
She'll fall for money. - Nice thinking.
She'd give us coconuts in return for the money!
That won't happen.
Try to explain to her.
Even if they take half
of the share, we'd have ours.
Greed won't take us anywhere. - No.. She will never agree.
Will the villagers even bother about her if they get the money?
Don't interfere when elders are speaking. - May I just..
Don't you dare! - Wait..
I'll get her to agree.
Okay? Let's go. - Let's go.
What the..
Bring him here.
Ma'am, we wanted to tell you something.
Please move aside.
This is not the time to talk.
Get Mayllappa here!
Oh, God!
What happened to Mayllappa?
A while ago, he had come home screaming.
He wasn't able to shut his mouth.
Neither can he close it nor speak a word.
Is he the one who's dumb or are you?
Haven't you been observing him for a while now?
What is there to see so much?
I can't figure it out.
Something has affected his chin and cheeks.
If I take his character into consideration
I'd say he has been beaten up.
Let me try predicting when he would close his mouth.
Yes. He's trying to say something.
Let's get him a paper and pencil.
Let him write it for us. - Right!
What's he going to do with a piece of paper?
He might fly a kite with it. Idiot!
He attacked a teacher in the first grade
and ran away from school.
He's never been to school ever since.
He doesn't know how to read or write!
Please listen to what I have to say.
God has heard our prayers and has granted us justice.
Hence, we are obligated to the Lord.
What he's trying to say is that
it was the Lord who showed us
the men who had trapped Mayllappa within the ladder.
Hence, we must give them a share as well.
Why don't you do this? Give the ladder a share as well.
Forget all that.
Money is not my priority.
The wedding must happen before we get the money.
Why is that so? - Dad, don't you know him?
Because he can't be trusted once he gets the money.
This marriage won't happen. - What?
Why's that? - Why?
It's impossible! I mean it!
Are you her father or am I her father?
This marriage won't take place unless we get the money.
There is no guarantee about this money.
Anything can happen.
Nothing is guaranteed. That's the situation here.
In the end, if we don't get our money after the marriage
he will be a burden on my daughter for the rest of her life.
What if you change your words? - Then let it be.
I might do anything once I get the money. Get lost!
How dare you insult my father!
Back off!
How dare you!
Move!
What's this? Stop fighting among yourselves.
Let's do this.
The wedding may proceed once the money is ready.
However, we must finalise this.
Will you or will you not? - That's right. - Nonsense!
We've been anticipating the marriage for a while now.
What's your problem? Are you going to lock her up?
She should marry someone anyway.
Wouldn't it be better if she marries someone she knows?
Such an ungrateful father! What's your issue?
What's your problem? - Well.. Nallavan..
Come here.. Move aside..
Are you trying to scare me? - Leave it..
That lady has a point. Think of it.
Let's agree for an engagement.
We can think of marriage later.
Agreed?
I'll thrash that lady.
He has agreed to it..
"The flute will play."
"Oh, my dear one."
"The flute will play."
"Oh, my dear one."
"The chill of a rain"
"ends in spring."
"It's the girl's wedding day."
"Even the stars are joyful."
"Hey.."
"One with the sweet voice."
"The flute will play."
"Oh, my dear one."
"The girl's heart is full of joy."
"The rainbow decorates the sky."
"The stylish Tamil that you speak"
"made my heart beat faster."
"I'll pin a lovely flower on your hair."
"The sky turned crimson."
"Oh, sunlight! Will you give me a golden shine?"
"The flute will play."
"Oh, my dear one."
"The wedding feast will be grand."
"We'll do offerings at the temple."
"It's a festive day."
"The wedding sari and nuptial chain are top notches."
"You're soft at heart."
"This night is beautiful."
"The Kajal resembles a dark cloud."
"The flute will play."
"Oh, my dear one."
"It's the girl's wedding day."
"Even the stars are joyful."
"Hey.."
"One with the sweet.." - Exchange the items.
And give your word. That's all.
Not so fast.
Has he started to talk again?
Yes.
What did you think?
That I would be dumb for the rest of my life?
What do we do?
Mayllappa, what do you want now?
I need some dog-poop! Do you have some?
His stupid questions!
I'm not here to join the function.
Well.. - If you want, I can get this done right.
However, it must be for Thamara and me.
Or I'll let the world know about what's happening here.
Are you trying to act smart?
Get lost! - I beg your pardon?
I told you to get lost! - I will.
However, all of you must come to a conclusion.
Do you want to be guests for his wedding
or become millionaires?
Let me know what your decision is.
I'll be at Kacheri's tea shop.
Only then will I be able to make my decision.
Problems are just following the other.
How long will this go on?
What do I do?
What's there to think about?
Since we've come this far, exchange the plates.
Let the ceremony continue. Let's think of the rest later.
That's not possible. - We want our money.
In that case, Thamara must wed Mayllappa.
There is no other way out.
Don't you dare utter nonsense!
Who asked your opinion here?
We can't throw away the money just like that.
Why don't you get lost?
Stop it! This is not the time to fight.
If we're taking a decision, we must take it together.
Our lives are more important than his wedding.
Well.. - The only reason why we've
been tolerating all this is to get our money!
We can't let that go!
No father would wed his daughter
to a complete loser.
Hey, mister. - I'm saying that it's not wrong.
The real problem is that his only escape from this place
would be to marry his daughter to Mayllappa.
Else, he'd have no solution to his financial needs.
Did I say so? - You didn't say so.
I was explaining your plight to them.
Now it's your decision.
Move aside. - What the..
I don't care whom she weds.
If you plan to marry her to Kallu
and suffer the curses of all these people
that'll be your daughter's end.
Why are you so silent?
Please say something.
Call Mayllappa.
I won't allow it. I won't allow her to get married to someone else.
My daughter would marry the guy of my choice.
I've raised her all these years.
Dad! - Shut up.
I'll pull your tongue out!
You will obey me.
Then I'll do whatever I feel like.
I'll make it public that you're going to share
the money he had won.
The lottery inspector would be here with the money.
I won't allow anyone of you to get a single penny from it.
Kill this rascal!
Kallu!
Thrash him!
Please don't beat him..
What do you think of yourself?
Beat him! - Leave him. We don't want anything.
Please don't beat my son.
Hit him!
I'll make him understand. - Nallavan.
Take him away.
What are you doing?
Move away. I'll kill you.
Don't you dare touch my son.
No, Dad. Let them kill me.
Let them live happily with the money.
Since childhood, I've been told that Thamara was mine.
We nurtured a lot of dreams.
Now for some money, if they decide to marry her to someone else
I won't allow it to happen.
What are you looking at? Do you want to kill me?
Then kill me! Kill me!
Come! - Dear son.
I am the one calling you.
Come here and listen to me.
Please listen to me.
Listen to me first and then decide.
Please think whether I'm right or not.
What do you have to say? - Please forgive me.
Never curse me for this.
I don't have any other option.
Dad! Open the door.
Dad. Please don't do this to me.
Dad! Please listen to me.
Dad!
Nallavan. I can understand your situation.
You're the one to decide your daughter's future
and not my son.
That's what all parents do.
I have a daughter too. I can understand you.
Until Mayllappa marries your daughter and the villagers get
their money, let him be here.
Let him be here. No matter what he does there
ignore him.
Let him die there.
I'll think that I never had a son.
Let others prosper even if he loses his life.
Sister.. Move away.
Sister!
You have to conduct my marriage before the tenth.
How is that possible?
We've fixed the date for the fifth of next month.
I met the astrologer on my way here.
He said that my problem would be over by the tenth.
Really? - Something else might happen.
He said that the marriage should happen before the tenth.
That's why he said this.
He didn't say that to me. - Didn't he?
Ask Gundappa to come here.
I need to ask him again.
Come here.
We need to say 1000 lies to cover one lie.
Do this. Find Gundappa before they find him.
Here. Give this to him
and ask him to fix the date before the tenth.
What do you mean, Kashi? I cannot believe this.
My God! So much money!
What should I do in return?
Which date did you fix for Mayllappa's marriage?
The fifth of next month between
nine and ten o'clock in the morning.
Mayllappa is now adamant
that he needs to get married this month itself.
She will ask you about it, but you should not allow it.
Tell her that if he gets married this month
it would affect her life.
Only then will you get Rs. One lakh.
It's a good time for me in my horoscope.
It's the ideal time for me to be rich.
I'll take care of this.
Hey, Kashi! Answer my question. - Okay..
I'll tell you. Mayllappa should marry only after the new moon.
Why? - By that time, the inspector will come with the money.
After we get hold of the money
we don't have to care about Mayllappa.
Then we can get Kallu married to Thamara.
That's our next plan. - Awesome!
Stuff those stones into his mouth!
His bloody astrology! I'll finish you today!
How dare you try to cheat us!
I'll kill him today.
Gundappa will do everything as required.
But we'll have to pay him Rs. One lakh.
I won't part with my money anymore.
But.. - Even we won't part with our money. - Hey!
What's this?
Day by day, claimants are increasing. - Right.
No.. - Yes. He's right.
How many people are there.. How much should we pay them each..
All these details are unknown.
If we share with each and everyone
what will remain for us? Nothing!
That.. - Exactly!
I've come to give you good news.
The marriage of Mayllappa and Thamara should take place
on the 9th of this month. We don't have to wait until the new moon.
But Bhandaravathi, they said there's no time.. - Shut up!
Gundappa has given us an auspicious time on the 9th.
This auspicious time occurs only once in a thousand years.
Did Gundappa say that?
You can take a look at it yourself.
He's gone to attend a marriage in the neighbouring village.
You can clear your doubts with him when he returns.
Oh! T-Then.. T-Then it's fine.
We'll send the bridal sari and gold on the day before the marriage.
Anyway, you cannot afford anything for her marriage!
But.. Bhandaravathi..
Shit! But..
What's happening?
What were you saying until now?
That Gundappa will listen to you if you give him money?
But.. - Nonsense!
It was his trick to steal money from us! - No! - Exactly!
You can't try to fool us!
Believe me! - No! - He'd promised me. You can ask him.
Don't fool us.. - No! - Sir! - What?
Thamara has closed her room from inside.
She's not responding. - Oh!
Come on!
What happened? - Come fast..
Thamara.. - Open the door!
Thamara.. - Break the door open.
Thamara!
Oh, Jesus!
Thamara.. - Open the door!
Come in.. Hold her.
Untie the knot..
Bring some water..
Oh! - My dear!
What have you done?
Why did you save me, Dad?
If my death
brings profit to the villagers, let it be.
Let me die..
I don't want to sacrifice my daughter's happiness
to become wealthy. - You can do whatever you want.
I don't want this money!
When we become greedy for money, we tend to forget
that we are humans!
When we didn't have any money with us
we had peace of mind.
We were content with what we had.
But the thought of money made us forget everything!
My heart breaks on seeing Kadambari's tears.
This village is just like a burning lamp.
To mourn when people die
and to support each other when in grief. That's enough!
We don't need anything else.
We don't want this money!
Nobody has even seen the money.
Just the thought of money led to all these problems.
Then what will happen when we get this money?
We can expect havoc here!
I don't want this money!
Just throw it away!
Come on. - Let's go. - We don't need this.
What are we waiting for? Come. Let's go.
Hey! Get me the keys to the storeroom.
Kashi.. - What?
Mayllappa has locked Gundappa up in Maruthu's house. - Maruthu?
Mayllappa's lowlife friend. - Oh!
Malli's people are searching for him.
Is it? - Yes.
Kashi! Kallu has escaped! - What?
Thamara had said that Kallu would kill Mayllappa before the marriage.
Oh, God! What is this?
Things had started turning normal.
If Kallu goes to jail
then my daughter will try to commit suicide again.
Hey! Be patient. We'll find a solution.
Let's search this village
completely. - What are you blabbering?
Let's kidnap Mayllappa and hide him somewhere.
Then Kallu can't kill him. - Yes.
But where's Mayllappa?
Panchavarnam knows that. She'll show us.
'Oh, God! It's Kallu.'
'We are screwed! Oh, God!'
Hey! Mayllappa!
Kallu is here. He has a knife too.
If he sees you, he'll kill you!
Don't talk nonsense!
I'll kill him before he kills me! Come on..
Hey! Keep quiet. - Come slowly..
Hey! Stop.. - Slowly..
This is Maruthu's house.
But he has other companions with him.
But I've promised my uncle
that I'll get him married to Malli tomorrow.
I have to keep my promise. Come on..
He's somewhere here. Come on.
How did he find out that we're here?
It's because of the thunderous noise made by your vehicle!
They would've heard it. - Then couldn't you use your elephant?
Hey! Don't insult my elephant. - Oh!
Shut up! - They're just three. We are four!
Once we start the fight, don't stop.
I have the bag to carry him.
Come on..
Hey! Somebody is coming! Come on..
Come..
Nobody is here!
Hey! - Oh!
Beat him!
Who broke the bulb?
Did you get him? - Tie him up in the bag!
I'll show you..
Stop! Open the bag.
I'll kill him today!
I want to hear him wailing.
I'll show him what I can do today.
Open it..
Hey! Was it you? - How did you end up here?
Somebody hit me in the dark and tied me up.
Couldn't you open your mouth and say it was you?
How could I? I couldn't even open my mouth!
Moreover, somebody sat on me.
I was helpless! Which rascal was that?
Take him! Place him there.
Let him out first. - No..
I caught him with great difficulty. What if he runs away?
Let the marriage take place. Just get his hands out.
Malli! Garland him.
Take the garland.
Hey! What are you doing?
Maruthu, tie the nuptial chain.
Come on! Tie it..
Tie the nuptial chain! Aunt!
Help him tie it.. Tie it..
Oh! Finally!
Now let him out.
But this is not Maruthu. - I'm not.
Whoever it is, you've got a son-in-law! That's enough..
Come on..
Just turn her around.
Oh, my God!
Stop..
Oh! - What are you doing..
What are you doing here, sir? - I had gone to your house.
That boy told me that you had all gone for the wedding.
So I thought of not wasting time and came here.
Y-You had told that you'd be back only after 10-15 days..
Yes, I did say that.
My daughter's exams start after four days. - Oh!
She has only me.
Once her exams start, I should be with her all the time.
So I finished all the formalities quickly.
This is your money.
A single note worth Rs. 5 crores?
Has that been released?
T-This is not a note. - Is it?
This is a CD. - DD. - Y-Yes.
What does it stand for, sir? - Demand draft. - Yes..
If you give this to the bank, you'll get your money.
See? I start sneezing if I come to a village.
Okay, then. - Oh! - See you. - Sir.
Please leave after joining our wedding feast.
You guys celebrate. My daughter is alone at home.
Shall I leave?
Hey, play it, man!
The millionaires are celebrating. Isn't it?
I won't let anyone handle money
other than me in this land.
You should all live beneath me until you die.
Don't waste your time, Sister.
Go and stop the inspector
and tell him about their treason.
He'll handle the rest.
Catch up to him, man. - Start the vehicle, man.
We'll get your money, man!
Don't let them go..
Hay..
Oh, God! I can't see anything.
Where the hell are we going?
Where are you going, man? - Who knows? Tell me the way, man.
Don't turn, just drive straight.
Oh, yes. I'm going straight.. - To the left..
Now to the right. - You told left! - Right..
Puddle..
Hey!
Oh, no.
Oh!
Oh, no!
Oh! - Move away, man.
God! Oh, no. - Oh!
Leave the rope, man.
What are you doing, man?
Hey. A clothes line.. Lower the vehicle!
Do you think this is a horse?
Hey, Deacon. Take me as well.
Jump..
Did you land safely? - I sprained my ankle.
Fire, Mayllappa.. - Oh, no!
Who did this?
You'll kill me as well, Mayllappa?
Leave me, man. - Oh, no.
Leave me!
The tank is coming down.
I'm going nuts here. I can't see anything.
Oh, God!
Mayllappa, what happened? - Just got dirty.
Wait here, I'll be back. - I'll also come.
"Fighting, chaos, tension, confusion and trouble."
We're flying.
Where am I?
Look. Go there. The inspector's car.
Hey! Stop..
Stop!
Oh! Bhandaravathi.
Look.. He's there.
The mistake was mine.
I didn't see them.
It wasn't intentional.
It happened by mistake.
My.. My daughter is alone.
She doesn't have anyone else.
You haven't done anything.
We haven't seen anything.
You haven't been here.
You shouldn't come here again.
Thank you.
Oh! We should thank you. Thank you.
Leave soon, sir.
