Heard Vasu's cheeks are swollen.
I'm not surprised.
It was one hard slap!
-Uthamman's hand, after all. -Sundaran!
Shall I order a lime soda for you?
Who do you think you are?
Quit flaunting your "psycho" tag, Balachandran,
like it's some badge of honour.
If you're actually insane,
just check into a mental hospital.
But not all the blame is on you.
Those fools still buying into your words deserve some of it too.
Damn his lime soda!
Rajesh!
That chicken fell from the chicken lorry.
Catch it.
Hey, stupid! That is Mini's hen.
Ouch!
Go, catch the hen!
Did you catch the hen, man?
Come on, catch!
Prove you are a man and grab that hen!
-Sundaran, don't let it go. -Catch it.
Yeah, go. Go ahead and catch it!
-Up! Up! Sundaran. -Up! Up! Sundaran.
Sundaran!
Up! Up!
Sundaran!
Up! Up! Sundaran!
What a clown!
Sundaran!
Catch it! Come back only after you catch it!
Hi, Subeesh.
-Hi, Balan. -Where are you coming from?
I'm heading back after a facial.
Tomorrow is my engagement.
Are you riding back on a bike after the facial?
Yes. Why?
You will get tanned.
From sun exposure.
The chemicals applied to your face
will react to sunlight and make it darker.
Really?
That's why these beauty parlours are all air-conditioned.
You should've been more careful.
Seriously, kids these days are so irresponsible.
Balan?
What is it?
Can I get an umbrella?
Stop there, chicken!
I'm gonna catch you!
Stop there, you chicken!
Oh, look who's back, the globetrotter!
Where were you all this time?
Come. Eat it.
Come. You don't want?
Hey! Hey! My hen!
-Leave him. -Get lost, you liar!
This is my hen. I saw it first!
Your hen? Give it to me.
Here comes Chicken Sundaran!
There, there!
Looks like he got a handful from Mini.
What a scorching sun!
Sundaran...
Sundaran!
Look here.
How are you feeling now?
Still sad?
I only had pain in my heart till now.
But now both my heart and body hurt.
You will be fine. We just started, right?
Doesn't anyone else come here?
Since it's you, I can be frank.
-What is it? -It's awful.
I have to wait for New Year's new admissions
for the business to pick up.
I'm somehow managing
by selling protein powder mixed with rice powder.
Maybe the architecture isn't favourable to you.
I'll come and check when I get time.
-But it will cost you. -Is that so?
Hey, are the betel leaves and areca nuts for the offerings ready?
I already delivered everything.
It's my only sister's wedding.
-Where are you coming from? -Took Nayana for a facial.
-I will come in the evening then. -See you.
Maanu.
-Tomorrow is Nayana's wedding. -I remember.
You came home and invited me.
I wanted to make sure certain people knew about it.
She's marrying a guy working in the Gulf,
not just some Gulf guy who lost his job.
I'll see you in the evening.
Do 10 push-ups and come over.
Okay.
Oh, Lord Krishna!
It's good that you are not marrying that moron's sister.
You come to the gym regularly.
Lift a couple of dumbbells and this grief will disappear.
Just like the actor Suriya in the film Vaaranam Aayiram.
It was an 8-year-long relationship.
It's gone!
Man,
bring my fees tomorrow, okay?
Get lost!
Uncle!
-Who is it? -The president.
The president?
It's me.
Come in.
-Sit, dear. -Were you busy, Uncle?
The thing is the bulb in my room isn't working.
When I tried to fix that, the TV went out.
Here's my resignation letter.
So quick?
When's the wedding?
I mean... I want to quit.
Quit?
I am leaving this place.
Someone like me can't handle the problems here.
Also,
this job just doesn't suit me.
Oh, dear!
You're giving up so fast
and at such a tender age.
No need to think so much!
It's a good decision! A very good decision!
Very good.
I'm leaving this place tonight.
Please submit this at the Panchayat office after I'm gone.
Of course, I'll do just that!
As you wish, my dear.
Shall I take my leave?
We will meet again somewhere.
-Best of luck. -Okay, then.
Oh, no.
She came to our house for the first time
and left without even having a cup of tea.
What if she changes her decision after having your tea?
Go inside, woman!
Oh, mummy!
Is he sleeping?
Astrologer?
Greetings.
Please come in.
Please be seated.
What perfume are you wearing?
Well... you won't find this brand here.
I don't want to buy it.
I wanted to make sure I don't even accidentally buy it.
The purpose of your visit?
The matter is...
Where is it?
This is my horoscope.
Sit down.
Radhakrishnan. Zodiac sign, Pisces.
Yeah, you definitely are squished into pieces.
My entire family is caught up in problems.
For dumping trash in the army property
next to his house in Dehradun,
my only son is under NIA surveillance.
Also, because the guy from Aluva
who had come to install a smokeless kitchen
hung himself in the kitchen,
the construction of my daughter's house has come to a stop.
All these are still okay.
But my wife, Sarojini, is now...
in the fourth stage.
What?
No, not that stage.
I mean, she's at the fourth stage of her suspicions about me.
That's what.
It's awful.
(chanting gibberish)
O Goddess of Srivallikkavu!
Please show everything clearly.
This guy! Look here, man!
What is it, sir?
In your well,
there is one thing!
Yes, there's water in the well, almost up to one-fourth of its level.
Darn! Ruined it!
Below that.
At the bottom?
It's all rock at the bottom.
It was there when we dug the well.
Oh, man!
I'm serious.
Beneath the rocks and the water.
There is a treasure!
Trea... sure?
- Sudhinam Clueri! -What?
Sunita Coolie? What kind of treasure is that?
I will tell you.
A long-long time ago,
the king of Perilloor...
Our king?
...scared of the Britishers,
found a Sudhinam, (a good day)
left no clue behind,
and buried a treasure.
That treasure is Sudhinam Clueri.
Whoever brings it to light,
all the problems that person has will be resolved.
Then...
will Sarojini stop doubting me?
I doubt that.
Until you take that treasure,
you shouldn't shake the well.
But who will shake the well?
You shouldn't shake the water in the well.
Oh, water. Then, what about drinking water?
There is no problem with you drawing the water.
But by no means should you use a motor.
The treasure will go down further.
But there is an issue.
Babu's sister Nayana's wedding is tomorrow.
They take water from this well.
Then you shouldn't allow it.
Once you get the treasure,
you can drill as many wells as they want.
But that is possible after getting the treasure, right?
The wedding is tomorrow.
By that time, the treasure would've vanished.
I want the treasure!
In that case, give me my offering.
Offering...
Please give it to me.
Please give. Don't hesitate. Give me.
-Okay, then. -Please leave.
What the heck!
Hello.
Hey, Maanu!
- Tell me. -Man,
I've pulled off the most epic move
a heartbroken boyfriend can make on his ex-girlfriend, like, ever.
On whom? Nayana?
What did you do, man?
Just picture this scene
where the bride and her family are fighting for water
on the wedding day.
The bride might even have to go to her wedding
without taking a shower.
- Damn! -If not, I'll make it happen!
- That's dope. -This is what happens if you play me!
By the way, we have Sreekuttan's send-off tonight.
Won't you be there?
Yes, I will be. Tonight, right? I'll be there.
- Okay. -Okay, dear.
I'm feeling so happy now.
Fix your hair a bit.
-Okay, that will do. -Son, the photos should be good.
Okay? Carry on.
Those are fresh vegetables.
Cut them properly.
Stop yapping and get chopping.
Go and help those old men for a bit instead of lurking around here.
-No, I can't help men. -What a guy!
-Who wants to help men, after all? -Hi, Babu.
Hello. Please go and have something to eat.
-Keep this. -Oh, God!
-Oh, you are here already? -Thought I'd come over early.
I need to tell you something, Babu.
Food shouldn't be bad!
How can the food go wrong when I'm the one preparing it?
Ah, Radhakrishnan! Where were you?
There is... there is...
-a problem. -What is it?
If you're going to say you can't come to the wedding,
I'll go on a hunger strike in front of your house.
You need to make the function grand.
Do whatever you want.
The matter is serious.
What is it?
The thing is...
Don't take water from my well.
What?
Tonight you shouldn't even take
a drop of water from my well!
Don't talk rubbish, you scoundrel!
Keep your voice down.
If you need water, I can arrange for tankers full of it.
I'm not that pathetic to mooch off your free water!
Then do the wedding without water.
I'm not done talking.
What are you doing?
How dare you touch me, you dog?
What are you doing?
He is older than you.
Ask what this old man said one day before the wedding.
What's the issue, Babu?
He said not to take water from his well.
What's the big deal if he takes water?
I have my reasons!
You may take water, Babu. Don't listen to him.
My dear Saru!
What's up with you?
You won't understand now what you are going to lose.
Now I understand what you are going to lose!
-Lose what? -Don't make me open my mouth!
-Do you want to spoil her wedding and-- -It's not that!
You know the other thing... the other thing...
Stop talking nonsense in front of all these people!
Babu, take the water.
That's my house too.
Thank you, but make this guy understand too.
If that's how it is,
I want to see how you serve water
-at this wedding. -What is this?
I'll mix five kilos of washing powder in my well.
-Oh, my God! -Let everyone who drinks water
from the wedding house get the shits and die!
-This man is nuts! -Please don't drink water from here.
It's poisoned.
-It's poisoned water. -This man!
Hey, man!
I have done a lot of things back in the desert where there's no water.
Go ask your nephew, Sreekuttan, if you want to know!
Babu!
You old hag!
I have told you a hundred times we should dig a borewell.
But you kept singing that "love thy neighbour" song.
I brought this bottle from the Gulf
to enjoy with my friends
on the night of my wedding.
On the eve of my return, without being married,
Ambareesh, it was you who was destined to drink it.
Anyway, I can't sleep tonight without a few drinks.
Thank you, my man.
The bottle you saved for your wedding night is half empty.
When each bride-seeing flopped,
-I drank a peg. -Oh.
And still, some of it is left.
Enough.
-Sorry. -It's okay.
No need to add water, Sreekuttan.
-Soda is fine. -Then, take the soda.
Pour it.
Uff! Oh, mummy!
-This is for... -Give it here.
-...Malavika. -Huh?
Is she here?
Where is she?
For Surabhi.
This is for Sheetal.
This is for my poor, innocent
Sneha.
For Devu.
Again,
for Malavika.
My life is finished.
The bottle is also finished.
Don't be sad.
Multi Maanu...
will soon be here with your drinks.
He drinks scotch and we get some rubbish local rum!
(singing an Arabic song)
Over three-fourths of the pages in the Book of Life...
have unexpected paragraphs.
Every human wishes...
to rewrite or tear off those pages...
until the last page is finished,
and the book is closed.
-(sings) -What has happened to him?
This is how he is when he gets drunk.
He will start blabbering some philosophy.
Damn! Where did Balan go with the bike?
What the heck!
Doesn't he know it's my engagement tomorrow?
Where the hell is he?
Subeesh...
You've been sitting here for a while now.
Where is Balachandran?
I ran into Balan while returning from my mango facial.
I learned that the skin gets darker in the sun after a facial
only when he said it.
Thank God I met him on time!
Otherwise, my engagement tomorrow would've been ruined.
He made a fool out of you, dimwit!
You won't get dark from a little sunlight.
Go home, man! Keep the keys somewhere there.
But if I leave the keys here, what if someone
breaks into the shop and steals something?
-You mean rob this Pooja Stores? -Yes.
Yeah, sure! Lord Muthappan will come from his heavenly abode at night
to break open the door and steal incense sticks!
Idiots!
Believes every crap that Balachandran spews!
Sundaran?
What happened to your leg?
What? Why is he clenching his teeth at me?
What did I do?
I will close it then.
I got the bottle!
Yes!
Our local drink has reached.
Where were you?
While coming with the bottle,
I saw someone lurking on the road.
-Who? -Sathyaraj.
Thief Sathyaraj.
He is planning to rob something.
It's clear from his clothes.
So, I followed him.
I think he saw me and got scared.
-He ran straight into the temple. -Then?
I can't enter the temple, right?
Then?
So, what can I do?
I came here.
-Is that rascal out of jail? -Isn't that what I said?
I'm in this pickle because of him.
If he hadn't come to my house that day,
I would've watched Kinnarathumbikal peacefully,
fallen in love with Malavika in class 10th
-and had two kids by now! -Fact.
I will break his leg today!
Come, Vasu! Come with me!
-Me? -Yes. Who else?
Brother, your phone.
Has he lost it?
Wait, brother!
Listen, take your phone too.
Also...
he hasn't experienced the taste of a real man's beating.
-No, he hasn't. -So,
you should go alone and beat him.
Isn't that heroism?
Thank God that's sorted now!
Pour me one.
I've been controlling myself for hours.
Did you send the philosopher away?
-There's a limit to brotherhood. -Here. Drink up.
Man, water?
Why is she calling me now?
Why does this taste like tar?
Pass me that water.
-Hello! - Hello, Ambareesh.
Hey, where are you going?
Today, I will blast those rocks beneath this well
and get that treasure out.
Oh, no!
-Hello. -Malu, did you start?
-Something happened. -What?
Balachandran bumped into my brother's vehicle with a bike.
-It's not working now. -Shucks.
What will we do now?
I left the house anyway.
I cannot go back now.
Let me go to the market and see.
I will leave somehow.
But, Malu, by yourself?
That's fine.
I will call you after I get there.
Let them get scared.
Good heavens! What a sound was that!
What is it, Warrier? What is it?
-What happened? -A meteor fell.
Meteor? Where?
-Meteor? -It looks like you fell.
I saw a fireball coming down from the sky with my own eyes.
Just get up now.
Try to go home, Warrier.
If it was a meteor, wouldn't there be smoke and dust? This guy!
Maybe NASA came and cleared everything immediately.
-Who's that? -ISRO is in cahoots with them, right?
-That's true. -One kilo of meteor is worth crores
in the international market. Do you know that?
Will you shut up? This man is insane!
Let's look for it.
Yes, long ago, Galileo was also mocked by people like this.
Oh, no.
Ambareesh.
Please pick up the phone, man.
Hey, what's that glow?
-Where? Beneath that tree? -Yeah, that.
Those are fireflies!
Ambareesh,
I fell into the well.
I came to get the treasure.
The rope broke and I fell.
Now,
people are running around the well.
Kids, please watch your step.
The meteor pieces might cut into your feet.
Why are you not picking up the call, man?
You heartless brute!
Hey, kids, did you look inside the well?
No, we didn't.
Then let's look in the well also.
It's said that one should also search the well if a meteor falls.
-Come. -Let's look.
-Oh, no! -Who is that?
Isn't that Sarojini?
-Come on, come on! -Everyone, please come!
Let's check.
-My Radhakrishnan is missing! -What's that?
-My Sarojini. -Where are you?
Saru!
Who is calling at this hour?
Hello. Who is this?
What?
I will be right there.
Where are you going at this time?
There's some issue near Radhakrishnan's house.
Let me go and check.
Don't bother waking up Malu. Let her sleep.
-No, I won't. -You just go alone.
My sweetheart is missing!
Sarojini!
Sister...
-Calm down. -...don't you know
I have been looking after that man like a precious gem?
-Oh, no, how will I endure this? -He'll be back. Don't cry.
Oh, my sweetheart!
He must have left for Kashi to get some peace of mind.
-Three husbands left me! -Hey, don't be mean.
-Then you console her! -He is my life.
-Don't worry. You have us. -I can't even imagine
how I lived those 8 years without him.
He didn't get any peace.
-Oh, my Radhakrishnan! -You took care of him really well.
I went to bed with him.
When I opened my eyes, he was not there.
Where did you go, my Radhakrishnan?
-OH, NO! Babu, come fast! -What's happening there?
Our Nayana is missing!
She's gone, son.
-How will I face the people now? -The bride is missing.
I am sure she eloped.
Listen, Radhakrishnan must have eloped with her.
Oh, no! That scoundrel eloped with that girl!
Who me? Eloped?
-When? -I will jump into the well now!
No, no, don't!
Move away, you dog!
No! Don't! Don't jump!
Leave me! Leave me! I will jump!
I want to die! Let me die! I will die now!
Don't, Sarojini! The well is really deep.
You won't even give me peace here, will you?
Let me go!
Let go of my leg!
-Pull her up! -Let me go, you dog!
-You womaniser! -Your damn suspicions!
Shut your trap!
Hold her. Get her down.
Ah, Ambareesh.
Hello, Ambareesh.
Please come and save me from this, Ambareesh!
I'm sorry. I am in the middle of eloping.
-What? -When she realised her groom-to-be
has lost his job in the Gulf,
Nayana came back to me.
-I'll give you 25% of the treasure. -What treasure?
How will someone bury a treasure in a well with rocks?
Such a dimwit!
You mean there is no treasure?
What a fate I've been dealt, my Perilloor Goddess!
There it is.
This is not that.
Grandpa, enough. Let's go.
Dear son, please believe me.
it was a meteor that fell.
Tell me the truth. Are you the Illuminati?
Illuminati is your bloody father!
Shut up and walk.
Stupid place with no scientific knowledge.
(chanting)
At least this time, I should go to jail
after I actually steal something.
Dear God!
-Balachandran. -Hey, future groom.
-Where is my bike? -I gave it to our Kunjikhader.
Why?
The airbags in his car came out, and he could no longer drive it.
-You shouldn't have done this to me. -What is it, man?
Tailor Sundaran told me there's no problem
going out in the sun after getting a facial.
He will say that.
Someone like him who doesn't have
a good marital life will only say that.
Going around telling lies and pranking people!
Subeesh, keep this torch with you.
I don't need your damn torch! I have got a mobile phone.
With a phone flashlight,
you can only see the snakes and scorpions on the ground.
Not a tiger!
-Tiger? -Yes, man.
The tiger that the forest guards were taking to the Nilambur forest
escaped when they stopped for tea and snacks.
It might've been hungry.
Balachandran, stop making an ass out of people!
Yes,
Balan has made an ass out of a lot of people.
But have I ever played with someone's life?
Have I? Tell me.
Have I?
There was an announcement earlier. Didn't you hear?
No, Balachandran.
My dear...
Don't be scared.
Just be cautious.
Subeesh, my dear.
Happy married life!
Trying to scare a fireman with a spark? Damn!
- Hello. -Mo... Mom.
- Idiot, did you really go for a haircut? -I'm coming, Mom.
Mom?
Mom!
The phone switched off!
Damn it!
I should've taken that torch from Balan.
(reciting prayers)
Oh, no! Tiger!
Oh, no.
Damn.
Why are you here?
Shall I sleep here tonight?
What's your problem?
I am afraid to go home.
That tiger might still be in the village.
Tiger? What tiger?
The tiger that escaped from the forest department.
Escaped tiger? Who told you all this?
Our Balan.
Here he goes again!
Only you would still trust him and be fooled over and over again!
After fooling you the entire day,
he also fooled you at midnight!
Isn't tomorrow your engagement?
Head home fast and get some sleep...
What's the point of a nincompoop like him getting married?
Just causing trouble for others!
These idiots would just swallow everything he says
and do all sorts of nonsense!
YOU!
No!
Why are you here?
Why should I tell you?
Oh-ho.
You're running away, huh?
Why do you care?
I'm also leaving Perilloor tomorrow.
Going back to the Gulf.
I won't be returning for a while.
Am I not your biggest problem?
I won't be here as a nuisance from tomorrow.
So, why do you have to go?
This is not the career I dreamed of.
I know that.
To mould a future generation through teaching, right?
Think about this...
Isn't it better if you could mend
the present generation of this village?
Kids growing up will see that.
Being the president gives you the power to do a ton of good work.
Someone educated and sensible like you
is the right fit for that job.
Not some random fox or tiger.
I didn't know you had all this perspective.
You are talking philosophy and stuff...
Once in a while.
Occasionally.
That's all.
Darn! Too many wires.
Black is neutral
and red is the fuse. Then, yellow?
Neutral, fuse, earth...
But isn't the earth green?
Very confusing.
"How to
"make
"a short
"circuit?"
Let me be honest.
In all this time, no one in this village
has talked this sensibly to me.
Short circuit is an undesirable state in an electric circuit that allows
current to pass through an unintended path, which has no or very less...
Balachandran.
You're inside here, huh?
Let me tell you something.
I am furious with you,
but that love for you deep inside...
is not leaving me either.
I don't know what to do.
My dear Malu,
you'll find better guys than me,
someone more mature and sensible.
You deserve it too.
You are right.
Even I feel that.
I think we're not meant to be together in this life.
Malu--
Grandpa,
isn't that the sound of a meteor falling?
That's no meteor.
That's just a firecracker. Stop blabbering and come.
Didn't you die, Balachandran?
Your bloody...
I'm Uthamman, you rascal!
Oh, no! Why are you here?
I came to burn this damn shop down!
-Me too. That's why I got the cracker. -Give it here. I'll throw!
I have a lit one.
-Oh, no! -Run!
Don't go there now.
It will cause problems.
Oh, no! Balachandran's shop is on fire!
What will we do now?
Oh, no! It's completely on fire.
It's all burnt down.
What am I seeing?
Peethambaran is here.
Peethambaran!
Come. Look! Balanchandran's shop has completely burnt down.
Come fast. It's completely burnt.
-Look! -Oh, no!
Stop watching and put the fire out!
It's Balachandran's shop.
Let it burn. Why do you care?
That scoundrel deserves this.
He is a good-for-nothing fellow of this village. Let it burn.
What are you even saying?
The fire will spread to your shops next.
Go and put out the fire!
-Oh, no! My dad's shop! -Put the fire out.
Quick! Quick!
Speed up!
Take the buckets and come fast.
What is it?
-The bucket's gone. -Damn your bloody hurry!
-Someone go and get another bucket. -What did you do, Nizar?
-What is it, man? -See if you can get another bucket.
There it is. See if you can jump in!
-Go and get the bucket, man. -Open your mouth and speak.
Looks like the president was in an emergency meeting with Sreekuttan.
President, were you in a meeting?
What are you looking at instead of getting the water?
-Peethambaran, look who's here. -What? Oh, no!
Sreekuttan, don't hide.
Everybody saw you.
Weren't you leaving tomorrow?
-Come here, you! -Uncle, let me tell you...
What were you two doing there?
Ruining the family's honour!
You, you!
I never thought you were such a person.
You've ruined the political image I've maintained for all these years!
Uncle, let me--
Don't say a word!
I considered you like my own daughter.
You shouldn't have done this to me.
I have decided one thing.
Come here.
-Uncle! -Come here, man.
Come and stand here.
You should marry her!
People of this village!
-Shouldn't I get them both married? -Yes.
You tell me. I'll do it accordingly.
-I'm your president. -Look what the president is doing.
Tell me. You people tell me.
-What happened now? -If she acts like this--
I won't allow Perilloor's reputation to be tarnished.
What a great heart!
-True. -Do you agree?
We are so lucky!
You guys agree, don't you?
Do you agree?
Whoa, Peethambaran!
I wish Varsha had an uncle like this.
Here.
We don't need another formal engagement.
This is enough.
Let's get them married as soon as possible.
-Yes. -Or we can't tell what they'll do
if we delay it.
Youngsters these days!
So, Sandhya...
we have become relatives now.
Look properly.
Don't you find any faults later.
Then, astrologer,
look for an apt auspicious time.
Of course. I will.
Oh, no.
What is it, dear?
Before...
fleeing the village,
I met Soman uncle and gave him
-my resignation letter... -Oh, no!
Oh, my God!
Great!
You found your perfect partner.
Gone!
Everything's gone!
I no longer have my rule!
My Panchayat is gone!
You have ruined everything!
Oh, God! All my efforts so far have gone in vain!
Soman.
Malavika, one minute.
By the way,
the... the thing you handed me yesterday...
That letter...
Can you sign another one and give it to me once again?
The resignation letter?
Yes, that one.
The resign letter.
I kept it in my shirt's pocket.
But my wife put it to wash.
I won't give that to you again.
I changed the decision I took yesterday.
For the next five years,
I will be the Panchayat president of Perilloor.
Okay.
Okay, then.
See you in the next election.
I know very well that what awaits me
are not easy days and peaceful nights.
I don't know if the problem lies with this village or its people.
But let me see if I can try to fix some of the folks here.
Like, Psycho Balan, who again fooled this village by insuring his shop.
Showman Soman, who lives on the hope that someday he will finally win.
Peethambaran Master, who cannot sleep without power and corruption.
And Sreekuttan, who only comes to his senses when he's drunk.
It's either going to be me or the people of Perilloor.
Regardless, the tales of Perilloor won't simply conclude here.
