Listen to me!
He has brought the whole town with him,
madam, to create trouble
Listen to me, regina.
Go back inside
Go inside Regina.
Look here. Regina!
Stop.
Stop it.
Stop it I say!
Step out, boys.
The feud between you two
is the cause of this.
The boys told us everything.
-you know what happened?
-Adhisayam--
Dad! No one abducted anyone.
You both were at each other's throats,
kids couldn't open up to you.
Adhisayam wasn't stalking Nila.
Nila and Adhisayam were in love.
they're somewhere in Bombay.
Enough! Everyone go
mind your own business. Go.
To evade us
for at least a couple of days,
he'd given recorded messages
to his friends to be sent to you.
He has a folder titled "Nila"
on this phone.
He told the boys
to hand it to you after a week.
What's in the folder?
Play it loud so we can all hear it.
Mom?
Mom, you'll forgive me
no matter what I do, right?
This folder has some voice notes
about Nila.
Once you hear them, you'll understand.
We often don't realize
how a single day or a moment in life
can be so significant.
No one suspects that such moments
will turn their lives around.
Only when we look back,
do we understand.
The day I went to Mount Flower sports meet
was one such moment.
Nila! Thirty seconds left.
Hurry up, Nila.
-Come on, Nila! Run!
-Hurry up!
Nila, come take them out!
Run, keep running.
-Malar, kho!
-Malar, make it fast. Get 'em
Malar! Get 'em.
Kho!
-Go to the left.
-Kho.
-Kho!
-Come on, Nila.
Nila, you can do it. Come on!
Yes!
Hell yeah!
We're going to announce
the best captain of series.
And the winner is Nila Shanmugam!
We request Mr. Trilok to distribute
the prizes to the kho-kho team!
The winners are
Mount Flower Sisters Convent!
03 cheers to Mount Flower Convent!
-Hip Hip
-Hooray!
-How about a treat?
-After the next tournament.
-We just won here.
-We'll see next week.
-Are you sure?
-Yes, I'm.
-Bye!
-Bye!
Hey, control!
-I watched the match.
-Hey, man!
When girls play kabaddi & kho-kho,
The boys turn to look at their legs.
Hello, I'm not such a guy.
All of Sambaloor knows
the kind of guy you're, Adhisayam.
You even know my name?
Inspector Regina's son, right?
I know.
Oh, you know so much, huh?
You're quite a genius.
The way you attacked the opponent
at the last moment?
Head full of brains!
Trying to flattering me?
Mom, when we truly desire something,
the entire universe
conspires to make it happen.
That's how it was
when I saw Nila again at the theatre.
He doesn't know who I'm
Four tickets, brother.
Keep moving.
All except the heroine
sport a beard in the poster.
-We're screwed!
-He don't know who I
Won't let it happen, will we?
Check out this swag!
Those crazy guys
won't let us watch the movie in peace.
Hey, I don't care.
You're the one who likes this movie.
Hey, where the hell did you go?
Popped to get a soda at Papa John's.
Why did you beat the cops?
Because he asked
for a couple of sips of my soda.
Be silent and watch the movie.
When you beat up someone,
the cops come looking for you.
-But when you beat up a cop
-His mom comes looking for you!
-What the hell do you want?
-Want the girl in the front row.
We must stop it.
Don't be afraid of anyone.
There's no one
who's stronger than you.
There's no force stronger
on this planet than a mother.
-Get the tokens here.
-How much for the wheel chips?
I asked the question?
-Get token.
-What do you want?
-Ice cream.
-For him?
A puff.
Ice cream?
puff?
-Give me that.
-What do you want ice cream for?
One puff, brother.
You met me the other day? Lost interest?
-One ice cream.
-Coming.
-Who?
-A puff
-Trailing or following me.
-Hold it.
-That flavor.
-Ok?
-No, only a creep would do all that.
-Then what are you?
-Rowdy.
-Rowdy?
I saw your rowdy behavior in action.
Saw what?
Saw you whimpering
at that mother sentiment!
Hey, if anyone hears this,
I'll bloody smash your nose in.
No one should know.
That will cost you. Cool?
-No problem.
-You can buy me ice cream to silence me.
From RK Bakery?
The Popsicle cart under the tamarind tree?
The biggest shop in town, Milky Way.
Where the else then?
A secluded place.
We're still talking ice creams, right?
Hey hey!
Be quiet, dude.
Hey, don't yell, man.
-Do you like this place?
-Yes.
Thought I'd head towards the Quarry.
-Next time.
-Yeah.
This place is so peaceful, isn't it?
Yes. Even ghosts
seem to have deserted this old cemetery.
Thanks for the ice cream.
I'll get going. It's getting late.
-Getting late for what?
-To go home.
-And what will you do there?
-Study.
-Study for what?
-A test tomorrow.
-And by taking the test?
-I'll get grades.
And with those grades?
High school, college
-And then?
-Job. I need to find a good job.
After that?
Marriage and children.
-What comes next?
-Meaning?
-I'll grow old and die.
-Precisely.
You'll grow old and die.
-So what?
-"So what"?
That's all there is.
You can eat ice cream
all your life and die happily.
There's more ice cream?
You could've told that before.
Why blabber so?
Blabber, is it?
What do we do if someone sees us now?
If they do, loosen up and
rock it with your head held high.
Inspector Regina's dear son.
Hanging out with Sambaloor's superstar
is a big deal.
No need to rock up.
Let's stay low-key.
Sir, this arrived from the Cyber cell.
I need to give it Ms. Regina.
Give it to me. I'll pass her.
Details of the phone calls
of your son and Nila.
I know. Give it.
You're aware that dad and you are my life.
You're my everything.
But I can't hang out
with only those you approve of
and shun those you don't
throughout my life.
Don't I have a point, mom?
-Alright dear. Do you want flowers?
-Yes, dad.
-Here. Buy as much you want.
-Okay.
Give her fresh flowers.
Go ahead, comrade. Don't you worry.
I'm on my way.
That arrogant hag
Run along, dear.
-Anything wrong?
-Yes, dear.
Problem since Regina got inspector, hop on
Please listen to me, ma'am.
Sir is here, ma'am. Please listen.
On whose orders
are you arresting Dayalan?
-None of your business.
-Like hell it isn't
-Hello?
-I'm the union leader.
-Look
-Despite that, do as you please.
Spare me all of this, Shanmugam
Whatever, come to the station.
Or just go to court.
Are you afraid?
Afraid? It's much worse than that.
I feel like I'm deceiving my father.
I should stop seeing you.
What did I do
Why don't you want to see me again?
What you said about your mother
being everything to you?
It's not the same for me.
I'm everything to my father.
He has no one else.
-If he knows I'm seeing you
-I get it.
Everything'll be all right. Trust me.
They won't be fighting all their lives.
Even if they do,
I'll make peace between them.
You're just a kid.
I doubt they'll listen to you.
Trust me.
Because trust will never go bust.
Now check this out.
Take a good look around. All done?
-Now what do you see?
-Cremation platform.
And now?
-Cement factory.
-And now?
Protective demon.
Another protective demon.
Come here.
Not so tight.
So you can still peek?
I barely notice cows in daytime.
so, how do I--
You'll see buffaloes.
Is that what you're calling me?
You donkey!
You buffalo!
So you're following
the sounds of my voice.
What if I don't speak?
Hey.
I'm scared.
Adhisayam, that's enough. Come out.
You creep!
I'm sorry, Nila.
I came because you told me to.
Yeesh.
hmm!
Nila?
Nila, are you all right?
Why do you look upset?
I'm not coming close.
Are you unwell?
I'm sorry.
Come here.
Is this what you want?
-You're just another guy, right?
-Get away.
It's okay if you scold me in anger.
But what you just said!
Made me out to be some kind of creep!
You make me feel disgusted.
Nila is a riddle. One second,
she'd be really close with you.
But the next, she'd push you away.
You can tell if mango is ripe
So too, a banana.
But she's like tender coconut.
Can't tell if she's ripe or not.
I wouldn't have reacted that way
with my eyes open.
You jumped at me
when my eyes were tied, that is why.
I got scared.
I lost it and took it out on you.
I'm sorry, okay?
Still mad?
I apologized, didn't I?
Say something Adhisayam
Dude!
I got ice cream
when you said you were coming.
As you kept talking on and on,
I finished it myself.
What the hell?
Is this the age for all this?
She'd never talk like this.
Your son coerced
Your daughter did too.
She's yet to complete 10th grade
She's a kid
Easy, dad.
Don't be hasty.
There were factory workers all over town.
Nila was always scared
someone would notice.
She doesn't understand.
Sometimes you've got to play the fool.
It's the only way to fool the fools
who take us for fools.
You want a soda?
-Salt or sweet?
-Salt and sweet.
-Brother, two salt and sweet sodas.
-Hey.
Why always pay for mine too?
We split okay?
-Does it matter who pays for it
-That's only after we start earning
That's my father's friend.
He'll rat me out.
Nila, slap me.
Do what I say! Slap me!
-Adhisayam
-Slap me.
-Creep!
-What's wrong dear?
Yell at me.
-Nila?
-Uncle?
-Can I drop you at home?
-No, uncle. I have my scooter.
Okay. Ride safely, dear.
I don't like this at all.
Why? You'll see, this will work out.
This town easily believes
that I'm a creep.
That's what I don't like.
No one must think that of you.
-Why care for what anyone says?
-sh*t.
No matter where I go in town,
there's always someone I know.
-Everyone knows everyone.
-Are we frogs to be stuck in the well?
We can go wherever we wish!
Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta
London!
London?
No one would know us there?
We could be anonymous and free.
Until then, I'm rowdy, my dear.
You know, he sits in the first bench.
Why sit with him?
-What are you thinking?
-Nila?
Brother, what the hell, brother?
Let me go, brother.
I'm taking a shot just like you.
Nobody takes a shot at my girl.
-Alright.
-Understood?
-Okay.
-What's your name?
-Dheena.
-Dheena.
-Tell the other Romeos hanging with you.
-Okay, bro.
-What will you say?
-Like a sister.
-If not?
-I'll be whooped.
You'll be whooped.
Beat it!
Nila didn't like it,
but also kind of liked it too.
I began to be known as a creep,
wastrel and rowdy in town.
That suited me well, mom.
I felt like a macho!
I've told all my friends about us.
Why won't you tell Malar about us?
Don't feel like it.
Just get it over with.
That white stork stares
like she's gonna peck me.
Speak of the devil and here she is.
Oh, no. What do we do?
Will prove I'm rowdy.
-Why is Nila's bike here?
-How'd I know?
Come along.
Start.
let go of me.
I'm leaving.
Oh, no! Please let me go.
-Let me go.
-Hey, let her go.
Creep!
Let's go.
When life's great, a fear will surface.
How long will this last?
That's when you think
of Romeo and Juliet, Layla & Majnu,
Salim and Anarkali.
And why such love stories
always ended as dreadful tragedies.
They never could make it because
of the family feud just like ours.
-When did you learn to drive a jeep?
-You think I'm still a kid, mom?
Well, how is my son
all smiles and sugar of late?
I'm like a jackfruit.
Rugged only on the outside.
But very sweet inside.
Pull up around the corner.
Good morning, sir.
There have been many complaints about you.
About me? By who?
You take money from Trilok
and harass the workers.
-Sir
-First, the workers complained.
Now, Shanmugam himself says so.
-Sir, I
-Try to understand me.
Trilok's my friend, too.
Be favorable to him.
But be subtle about.
If you're too brash,
things will get worse.
Shanmugam is a union leader.
spoken to me directly.
-I want no further complaints!
-Okay.
-Hang up.
-Okay.
I'll take care of it. Okay. Thank you.
I'll drive.
Mom, deals are to be done
under the table.
-But if you knock off the table
-What the hell do you know?
I didn't mean it like that, mom.
Last week, I got word of workers
selling cement on the black market.
Investigation showed
it had been going on for a while.
I took pity on them
for the sake of their families
and begged Trilok to let them off
with just a warning.
But they pay me back
by giving me a hard time.
Complain or not,
I won't go easy next time
Don't show your authority
Hold your self-respect
Don't you understand, Shanmugam?
Hey, get going!
Play your tricks in your station.
-It doesn't work.
-Hey.
-Adhisayam!
-Hey.
Is this way spoke like
an unaccompanied lady?
If you bring your dad from next door,
then you can fight as a family.
-Adhisayam!
-Go ahead and ask your mother!
What favors she does for Trilok's money.
-Beat it!
-Back to the car!
Shanmugam!
You've made things worse.
Couldn't you control your temper?
I did go quietly.
It was your father who behaved cheaply.
You tell me to my face
my father was cheap?
Didn't I see how your mother acted?
You never spoke about it.
Why? How was she in the wrong?
-She's always cultured.
-Cultured?
-She acted like a brute!
-Say one more word against my mother
Stop sounding like a big shot
You're her son.
That's where you get your arrogance.
Hey, you're pushing your limits.
What do you know about my mom?
She's the original lady superstar.
Why are you laughing?
Women like my mom in this world.
Well, if someone bad-mouthed me,
would you defend me, too?
Yes.
Even if you bad-mouthed yourself,
I won't spare you,
as I'm a real big shot, you see
What is it?
Come what may my father and your mother
will never get along.
This isn't just a problem because of us
The whole town's equally split
between the two of them.
What do we do?
Shall we elope?
I realized silence was deafening to her.
Probably why she always listened to music.
When she wanted to have a talk,
there was no one to listen.
-Hello, sis!
-Yes, Nila.
Are you busy?
-Shall I call later?
-Nila, I'm at the office.
-It's alright. Tell me.
-When are you coming home?
-I want to see you.
-There is so much work.
You come for holidays here.
Hey, hold on. Another call coming in.
I'll call you back.
We can't accept that, comrade.
What negotiations? How long
do we negotiate with these vultures?
What you say isn't practical, comrade.
-Tell me how?
-What are you saying?
To make ends meet
-Dad.
-without letting go of their dignity.
-All philosophy
-Dad!
What is it?
Nothing.
We were in a discussion,
and suddenly you've gone there.
Answer
I said what you suggest won't fly.
Why won't it fly?
For eons, philosophers
have sermonized keeping with the times.
Based on the predicament we're in,
we need to adapt.
Adhisayam, you were right.
Even if I suggested eloping on a whim,
when the moment came,
I didn't know what to tell her.
I meant we could run away
after we finish our education.
When we talk to our parents
& there's a problem, we could elope.
Why not just run off now?
We can be together, right?
Only when I'm with with you, I feel safe.
If we run away now, you won't feel safe.
Where'd we go? stay, How?
I don't leave this town.
You said the world is within our reach.
Be it Delhi, Bombay, London!
Why this damn music while talking?
Yes, I did.
So what?
There's a certain age for that.
Then you should've fallen in love
at that age.
All that talk the other day!
Good God, stop it with that thing.
Give it to me.
What is it that you want?
Why are you crying?
Don't cry.
Please don't cry.
Nila.
Here you go.
Listen to music, if you wish.
But please don't cry.
Don't cry.
Please!
Here. Go ahead and listen to music.
Please! We can run away
if that's what you wish.
In a kho-kho game,
Nila strategizes one hell of a game plan.
She did the same here.
She planned the next few days
where we'll go, how, and when perfectly.
She told me, I'll go to Munnar
with friends for my birthday.
She booked the train tickets.
She even planned expenses
for couple of days.
She's quite a genius like you.
You do not need it, now.
Rattled?
Nothing like that.
I didn't think they'd be here.
What couple ever eloped
without friends' help?
They're actually going to Munnar
to celebrate my birthday.
Don't we feel proud
This doofus used to hang out with us.
Fell in love with a girl, cinched her too.
All grown up now?
Hey, don't screw up.
All of us at the train station
will raise suspicion.
Drop us off and get going.
-You're really sharp.
-Not just that.
She had me record voice messages
for my mom for three days!
-Brilliant.
-Yes.
Eloping with inspector Regina's son
would have them on high alert
We bought ourselves couple days.
Point. You could have left
after Mayana Kollai.
No issues, buddy. All the best!
Thanks, guys. Come by soon to see us.
-Bye, guys.
-Bye.
Mom, I don't know how I'll be without you.
Worse still, I don't know
how you'll be without me.
But I still need to go.
We're leaving.
Have you reached home, mom?
I'll be back.
Hang up.
Hang up now.
Found her ID card here.
I know Adhisayam really well.
I've never heard him speak
so eloquently.
The punk always talked about
cricket, PUBG,
movies, and comedy memes.
But now,
he strings words deftly like a poet.
Perhaps being in love
gives them the swagger.
A teensy love story in a tiny town.
As though they are Romeo & Juliet.
Is Regina and Shanmugam's feud that big?
Kids these days are melodramatic.
I understand Nila's feelings.
I was desperate too
to leave this place when I was young
I didn't know
if it was the town or the factory.
I used to feel suffocated
I never thought that way
about this town or factory.
-Because this is your world.
-True.
But it doesn't feel wrong to me.
I know how the people here
think and act.
I value that knowledge.
I can't get that elsewhere, can I?
You'd have seen me in school,
suffer from attacks.
You'd have fits, right?
Not fits.
Doctor said it was anxiety attacks.
But,
as soon as I left this place,
the attacks stopped.
Hey, Viji!
Did you take Adhisayam clothes?
Viji.
-Who told you to wash his clothes?
-They reeked of sweat ma'am
Touch anything in my son's room again,
and I'll k*ll you.
Regina!
Because of all the fights
you pick in town, he ran away.
What did you say?
My son ran away because of me.
Yes! Your problems with Shanmugam-
We have problems. But he has you.
A father who's like a friend.
He could have told you about his love.
Why didn't he?
Because you're a wimp, aren't you?
what's the train time?
At 8:30 PM, dad.
Must you leave today?
What'll I do being here?
Okay I'm leaving dad.
Whether I knew it or not
I've made a lot of mistakes.
DAY 4 MAYANA KOLLAI
IMMERSION OF THE GODDESS
Goddess will be immersed.
In honor of the new statue of the Goddess,
the old statue will be immersed in water.
One by one, keep going.
Move aside!
What is it, sir? How are you?
-I'm fine.
-Just that, four days ago,
on Thursday night,
what trains went this way?
Only towards Coimbatore.
And two trains to Ooty
cross here everyday.
Alright. Just a case of teenage runaways.
-Which trains cross here after 10 PM?
-Sir, you're still investigating this?
We need to follow up
and cross-check, don't we?
Check that board
It has lists for the entire week
-With the names of passengers.
-This board?
Where does this train go?
That's train to Coimbatore.
It says GW, doesn't it?
They booked tickets to Guwahati.
Switched trains at Coimbatore
"Guwahati"? But the boys said
they were going to Mumbai.
Really?
Sir.
This girl and this boy.
They'd be around 15 years of age.
Were they here that day?
Think well and tell me, sir.
I didn't see them.
The night the Mayana Kollai flag
was raised, right?
An elderly couple got on the train.
No one else boarded the train.
The two of them never
got on that train.
-Any other copies of the passenger list?
-No. This is the only copy.
-Try to remember, sir.
-Pick up!
Hello? Sakkarai?
I can't hear you! Speak louder!
What?
Can you hear me Sakkarai?
Everything vanishes into thin air
Without a trace
In the darkness
