1990.
The year in which Kabaddi was included in the Asian Games for the first time.
The year in which India won a gold medal for the first time.
The Indian team, led by Rakesh Kumar,
defeated Bangladesh.
Among the ones who received the gold medal on to their broad chests,
there was a Malayali as well. Many did not know this back then.
He was working in the Ludhiana division of Indian Railways,
Thrisshur Edathirinji Puthenveettil Vareeth's son, PV Mathayi.
There were many ceremonies to honour him back home.
Along with the honouring functions,
to encourage the sporting abilities of the future generations,
Mathayi donated a ground which he owned and a sports club in it,
to his town.
The townsmen accepted it with a lot of excitement.
Mathayi became the town's sweetheart.
The celebrations didn't last long.
Mathayi, who was never troubled by even a common cold;
was killed by a lorry which went out of control.
The Church and the noblemen of the town,
erected Mathayi's statue on the ground he donated to the town,
in his fond remembrance.
As Mathayis memories started diminishing,
the people of the town forgot his desires as well.
Games were not played on the ground anymore.
Instead, it became a wasteland.
On the ground which was donated for sporting activities,
there were no more sports being played;
and only random activities remained.
Seeing & hearing all this, without being able to do anything;
Mathayi who won gold in Kabaddi, was relegated to being a scarecrow.
Vava Loves
Pram eela.
Vava, you keep drawing this. She's not going to fall for you!
Get lost, you curl head!
Wait & watch! I'll make her fall for me!
Hey!
What are you doing here, bunking school?
Drawing teacher sent me out of class.
He said that I can't draw properly!
That's why I'm learning to draw here.
Pramala + Vava.
Love!
Come here!
I came to meet Father Vadakkan. He is inside, right? -Yes.
Who are these kids?
Them?
Don't you know?
This is my prodigal son, Vavachan.
And this curly haired one was born to destroy him!
And this guy, is Mam malt's son. Pallan.
All of them are equally wayward!
They are up to all sorts of mischief, together.
We're not able to reform them, Father.
We'll find a solution.
Children,
the behaviour of children are controlled by their friendships.
For example, a rotten tomato;
or a rotten egg;
Hen's egg or Duck's?
It can by any e99!
Can be any!
Can spoil the box which it is kept in!
Instead, a lotus flower..
Can make a swamp beautiful.
What you said is correct!
He's talking about our lotus pond.
The one which Maria aunty pushed you into? - I'll slap you!
See Father! This is what I am talking about.
I will give you a new friend.
My son.
George!
So he's the lotus?
Did you call me, Father?
- Come here.
Father, Mathew's Gospel... In this"
We'll read the gospels later.
See?
He has got God's calling.
He is destined to be a good priest in the future.
Let these little lam bsjoin him.
George.
Your good traits and the moral lessons that you have learnt,
you should teach them to these little lambs. Okay?
Father, so shall I bring them also for the Mass at the Church from tomorrow?
For the altar service.
See!
Let Mam malt's son also join!
To accept good deeds, faith shouldn't be an obstacle.
Not at all!
Hey! Join them!
Dude!
She has started applying oil, man!
After the class, there will be a bath!
Holly Molly!
Did all of you finish writing?
Until the exams start, there will be test papers here for all subjects.
Give it.
Did you write well?
What are you looking at? Give it to me!
Come, dude!
Dude, look! That guy is here!
Perfect son of a priest!
Hey! Who is it?
What are you doing there?
I came to clear a doubt.
Get lost!
Dude! Looks like he has started watching the show!
Is there class tomorrow, teacher? - Get out!
George!
Hey dude!
Hey! Don't run!
Hey lotus! Stop there!
George, STOP!
Stop right there!
Stop!
I went there to clear a doubt with the teacher"
Ya rig ht!
Even we have such doubts!
Not that. Like my father said,
it is easier for me to be like you than three of you trying to be like me.
Awesome! You are our guide from now on!
Our team leader!
Our group's fortune!
(murmuring)
Joseph ettan!
He gets on his bike early in the morning!
He doesn't know where he's going, neither do I!
Hey!
You've climbed up early in the morning itself?
Didn't he come?
He must be stuck.
Josephettan has reached the cross.
What is his gospel for today?
Why do you need a donation box?
Is it for you, who was crucified?
Or is it a wage for the people who crucified you?
You don't have an answer, right?
Whatever I ask you, you just stand there silently!
Until I get an answer from you,
I will keep asking this!
I will keep asking this always!
I'm taking 10 Rupees to have food.
I don't take others' money without asking them!
Didn't get anything. Got covered.
One tea.
Josephetta,
Anyway, you're taking money from that;
If you apply some glue on a rod and put it in there,
you will get so many 100 & 500 notes!
One tea!
Listen to me!
Apply some glue on a rod and put it in there. - One tea!
This is why people call you crazy!
You will never learn!
One tea!
Pallan, aren't you coming?
The subscriber you're trying to reach is busy right now.
Or, he'll give you a missed call after some time.
Hang up now!
Was it yourfriend who called, dad? - Yes, son!
Did you wear your shoes?
You button up, don't forget to zip up.
Where is it?
Are you looking for money?
Yes.
I took it away from there. - I didn't know that!
My darling! - She's sleeping!
Come!I'll do it for you.
Embarrassed again!
What is this?
Why are you dressing them up?
Is it like that now?
You forgot what you told me until yesterday?
You were complaining that I was not being responsible, right?
Even after having 3 children.
Where is it, dear?
You are very responsible while removing pants!
Ad ult joke?
This is to prove that I don't do just that!
It's clear that you can never prove that!
What is he saying?
Today is a holiday, man!
Yesterday was Sunday. Today is Monday, right?
Pay attention to the kids' studies!
Yes! Today is Monday.
But today is Gandhi's birth anniversary as well!
It will be nice if you could check the calendar once in a while.
All the schools in India have a holiday today.
How many times did we tell you! You didn't listen to us!
You didn't tell me what it is.
Now don't shout at them!
Get out of your uniforms and go play, kids!
Come! - Will you take me too?
No!
I didn't ask you!
It's said that there will be a rain of fire when the world is about to end.
So what's the deal? Will you go before the rain of fire?
Bapuji, just a minute.
Why are you always following me?
Didn't I ask you to come to Mapranam school?
I haven't gone to class even while studying in school.
I came here just because it is a special case.
On dry days, independence days & Gandhi Jayanti,
if a real wastrel like you keep following me, a retired soldier;
people will have a doubt that I'm selling my quota.
That's not something new, right?
It's true, right?
I'm not asking it for free!
Rm Paying you well, right?
It's not about the money, George.
When you get high after drinking this,
there will be a happiness on your face;
watching that is a high for me!
10 Rupees are missing from this.
I need to buy munchies when I have this, right?
I kept it away for that. - George,
Don't spoil my happy high!
Your wife is doing we“, fight'?
She was our tuition teacher!
While she used to teach us in class,
us students would keep looking attentively.
Does she take tuition now? - How?
She is retired!
Now kids don't come there.
Kids won't be interested if she has become a hag.
What?
Well,
I mean.. Wayward kids won't be interested in anything!
They get everything on their fingertips, on the internet!
Back in our times, it used to be so much hard work!
Did you mean something else, George?
No way!
What are your plans after drinking this today?
It's the 'Service Week', right?
There's some charity work. For our town!
You can keep it first, President!
Why are you so shy?
We have to bend over'?
- Is he smiling? - Dude, there's a camera here.
What is this, man? Move!
Pour the water.
Pallan, don't push!
So we have begun auspiciously, right George?
Awesome!
So, you can plant the next tree.
Let me give a statement to them.
Okay? ' Okay,
He is trying to shine all by myself. - Ya. Without doing any work.
It's very cheap. A blind man's look!
You want to wear it? - No!
It will be awesome if you wear it, George!
An even better blind man's look!
Then give it to your dad! - Does your dad want it?
These trees will grow and give shade, not just for us.
But for the future generations as well!
That was Gandhiji's dream!
The India that Gandhiji imagined!
Boost us, as well!
This George's activities,
are unbearable!
I mean, it's so great!
It's not about planting 100 trees.
The important fact is that George & friends dug a 100 holes for them.
- This is the result of their sweat & blood!
The greater good of the society. That's all we want!
Hey! Give him some more 'Kanji' (Rice soup)
George, after you dug so many holes,
do you need an oil massage?
Why, mom?
This is nothing!
This is the problem! Mom,
If everyone tries to be an engineer, doctor or a priest,
who's there to think about this city and its future?
There should be someone to preserve this earth for the future generations, right?
Why are you sitting like this?
Have you lost your senses seeing my activities?
There are many more such activities in the pipeline!
I hope your dad sees this.
I have taken a CD from the channel, mom!
When dad is in a good mood,
smoothly make him watch this.
Let him be happy!
Your dad is here!
I'll throw some weight around, okay?
You will live for a hundred years!
Don't you say that he is good for nothing?
Did you see what all he did?
I didn't see it.
But the people who saw it have come.
Come inside.
So these are the activities in the pipeline?
Greetings, Father.
This is the ASI of the town.
You would be knowing him, right?
I have seen you quite often!
Not often! We see each other daily!
They are from agricultural department. - Namaste.
They are from telephone department. - Namaste.
Planting trees is a good thing.
But you should dig holes by yourself for that;
and not plant them in holes dug by the telephone department.
And what you planted were not shade tree saplings!
Those were curry tree saplings which the agricultural department
was going to distribute to houses.
- Hey Pallan. These are saplings for shade trees, right?
It's a first-class Acacia tree!
Acacia?
But I have a doubt if it smells like curry leaves.
It is Acacia!
So it was a curry tree?
Him & his bloody Acacia!
George.
You have to return all the saplings to the agricultural department.
The holes you covered should be returned to their previous state.
Holes into their previous state? - Holes..
George, don't confuse me!
Return their holes to them!
It's because Father intervened. Or I'd have a dug a hole in your chest!
Every arrow is coming straight at my chest, Oh Saint!
He is already struck by arrows. What do I tell them?
So what about my friends?
You didn't inform the Panchayat about digging these holes.
As if you're going to do something about it!
Hey! Start digging!
President was the one who planted it.
It's okay, George. You can start auspiciously!
Take that cage off! - So this is a curry tree?
No! This is your dad's jackfru it!
Dig it, man!
Dude, call from home!
I'm stuck in traffic!
We did well, Lalettan!
What's your name?
Thulasi. - Are you married?
Yes. - I am sorry.
My husband is in the Gulf.
Have this, dear.
You must be a Mohanlal fan, right?

George, that Vasu's daughter hung herself it seems!
Is it?
That's really sad.
While studying for pre-degree,
I had given her a love letter.
This is why!
She must have read that letter only now.
George.
Is it true that the ghosts of those who died an unnatural death
will roam around their place of death?
Who believes all that?
Foolish things!
Apart from you..
What?
Kolothu Thulasi!
Go! Get lost from here, you ghost!
Go! Go away!
What the hell did you just do?
She ran away'.!
I showed a cross to scare the ghost away! - Cross?
Silver cross!
This is not because of the cross. She ran away seeing the Saint's spear.
Dad! - What is it, deal'? What happened?
Who are you? Why are you here at midnight?
My name is Prabhakaran Nair.
This is my daughter Bindu.
We're coming from Kaipamangalam
Who is George among you?
I understood!
You've come with a marriage proposal, right?
Through Broker Sundareshan?
That's not for George. It's for me.
Hello Bindu!
Come here, dad! Let's talk privately!
It's not a proposal!
I came here to talk about starting a driving school.
I didn't see you when I came in the morning. I heard you'll be here at night.
I heard that I have to talk to George before starting anything at Mathayi ground.
That's why!
I am George.
But what you said is not possible here.
Don't say that, Georgetta!
Sister.
This ground is like our heart!
If you insert rods and sticks into it, we won't be able to bear it!
So you do one thing.
Get going, with your dad!
Hey! What are you looking at?
The sun is about to rise! Go fast!
Come, dude! Don't come here again!
Hey!
It's a driving school exclusively for ladies!
What did you say?
Shut up!
What did you just say?
It's for ladies.
The driving school in Mapranam is only for men.
If ladies learn to ride scooters and cars,
they won't have to struggle by travelling in buses!
And there won't be other nuisances as well!
Dude! - I haven't gone in that route!
Don't force them if they are not interested.
They have an emotional attachment to this ground.
Let's see if we can find some other ground.
Come! We have to reach home before sunrise.
Why are you talking like this, dad?
Dad? Whose dad?
His dad! - Huh?
I've left it! - I mean, isn't her your dad?
There is still time for sunrise.
Didn't the people who told you about me say the other thing?
What? Watching girls bathe?
If you come to me for something,
I won't disappoint you!
I would've said something else!
This ground, your heart;
inserting rods into it; won't you feel sad?
No!
Never'.
If a family is able to survive,
we are even ready to turn our hearts into stones!
Shall I start at 7 AM tomorrow?
Why are you even asking? You will have our full support!
My son is always chasing flies!
What are you laughing for?
When the five of you have shut your eyes, flies will spoil the food.
We don't know where all these flies have been earlier.
Keep quiet, George.
What's the point?
I arranged a unit which makes candles for the Church, for him right?
You weren't supposed to sell it to someone else for your pocket money!
Really?
Mathayi's ground.
If anyone comes there to start something,
they take money from them.
What rights do you have?
Mathayi gave that ground as a contribution to the Church.
Dad!
The unused grounds, grounds and sports clubs of a town
belong to the youngsters there.
Jobless youngsters! - Exactly!
Don't rob your nose into it. I'll whack you!
George.
How much I wished to see you becoming a priest!
He was ready for it!
But then you said that he should become a priest who won't get married.
Not just a priest. Bishop!
Don't you know that one can't become a Bishop if he gets married,
in our community?
See!
Dad got married, became a Father at the Church & to us.
And he wants me to stay unmarried & become a Bishop!
He is really selfish, mom!
Shut up!
I'm not talking to you hereafter!
Didn't you ask me to shut up?
I'm not going to say anything to you!
Good!
Now all my hopes are on him!
Father Jose Vadakkan.
That's awesome, dad!
You are really far sighted!
Since the past few days, I've been seeing a halo around his head.
Did you notice that?
Don't overdo it!
Ya! If the halo is overdone, you will go crazy!
You are overdoing it now.
Jose, my dear son,
you should wake up at 5 AM tomorrow.
There's a personality development class.
It was a sneeze.
Where is it?
Oh my God! The girls!
You guys came early?
We didn't go home last night!
If the students don't see us when they come, won't they feel sad?
Girls, right?
They won't wake up early in the morning.
They are really lazy.
Even after waking up, they will relax, check Whatsapp & Facebook and come slowly.
I hope they brush their teeth.
You don't even check if your wife brushes her teeth!
Bindu is alone?
No, dude! A car is coming behind her!
The car is bringing a pyramid too!
I hope this A2Z is good!
Wow! Awesome entry!
Mom got down. Daughter will follow!
Another mom?
Did the daughter grow up into a mom while sitting in the cal'?
No! She will come!
Another mom again?
Looks like this is Kudumbasree's driving school, George.
Is this Bindu trying to put a full stop to our lives?
What game is she playing? Come!
Good morning, driving teacher!
You should pay attention to certain things while taking an 'H'. - Bindu!
Just a minute. Come here.
You can start. - OK teacher.
What is it, Georgetta? What's the matter'?
Why have we given you this ground?
To start a driving school. - For whom?
For ladies!
Where?
Where is what?
Ya! The test scooter is here.
The rods are over there.
Board? - Not that!
Then? - Where are the girls?
Where are the girls?
Oh that! Georgetta! - Look!
By girls, if you meant these hags,
dear, you can look for another ground!
Seeing the troubles that young girls have to face to go to schools & colleges,
understanding the disturbance they face from antisocials,
we gave permission for this driving school as a tool to empower them!
Female empowerment! - What?
It's difficult to say it even once. Don't stop me in between!
That's our great goal & dream!
That's what is in the hearts of us youngsters!
Right? - Of course!
These people will be taught to drive by Kudumbasree people.
Aunty! Stop!
Stop the car!
Get down!
You are Rajettan's wife, right?
He is a nice man! If he gets drunk, he won't move an inch!
If you drive this, won't you bang someone?
That's the problem!
He doesn't move when he's drunk.
If I learn this,
he doesn't have to waste money by taking autos & taxis.
I can bring him myself, right? That's why!
You are great, aunty!
You are doing micro-finance, right?
Your brain is very sharp!
Get into the car!
Close the door.
Listen to me, Georgetta!
You don't have to say anything!
You betrayed us!
You made us lose our sleep as well!
George!
Our MLA Kallukkaran passed away.
We need a treat! - What the hell, man?
When was it? - Half an hour back.
Oh God!
For the past 3 years, he has been relaxing on the bed!
Was Simon with him?
He is on his way from Thrisshur.
Is it? Then we'll see you there. Come!
Georgetta! - Shut up!
Will Simon give us booze? - Try asking. We may get it.
Keep quiet.
Simon, just think that God called him early because he was dear to Him.
What is he saying?
He was 93 years old.
And he's saying it's early?
God would've called her earlier.
He would've heard it only now.
He was slightly deaf.
And this deaf man was listening to people's complaints all this while?
He just listened and didn't do anything.
Simon!
We'll be there.
A death happened here.
So much attitude!
Oh God!
Simon, is everything okay?
After my sister comes, we'll take the body out. - Don't do that!
It wasn't your father who died!
Yes!
It's my father only!
Dude, he was not just your father! - Oh God!
Did he have any affairs?
I always had a doubt on him!
That Tresya from Irinjalakkuda? - You idiot!
Wasn't your father the MLA of this town?
There are 3 more years left.
A by-election will come.
You will contest!
Me?
I don't know anything!
You don't have to know anything to be in politics.
Can't you see me?
You don't have to think too much.
We will keep the body for public display with all arrangements and police escort!
What say?
'I'm leaving for my final journey, my dear people'
'An angel carrying a candle has come in the chariot of death'
'I'm leaving for my final journey, my dear people'
'An angel carrying a candle has come in the chariot of death'
'In this small world, I have done all my duties'
'I am looking for a new place beside the almighty'
Rosary & cross!
Wasn't it kept there?
What are you doing?
Get going!
Why are you standing here like you've lit a candle for Mother Mary?
Shall I make her the mother of my kids?
Dude!
What is this?
Hey!
It was awesome!
Are you learning Hindustani music?
Not Hindustani, Pakistani! Come here!
Keep going!
You should beat that Rimy Tomy in singing!
- As if it's some com petition! Come here. - Let's go.
What happened to George?
What did you see in her?
I have no idea what I saw in her, dude!
As soon as I saw her,
bells rang making me feel that she's the one!
A thousand flowers bloomed in front of me.
And then, like ourJohnson Master plays violin,
love came knocking on my door like..
How?
George, it's true that bells rang at the Church.
But that was a death-bell!
Correct!
And the flowers! Those were on the wreaths!
And they sang a funeral song, right?
I don't know if it was Johnson Master or AR Rahm an who composed it!
Do you know?
It wasn't them! It was Dakshinam oorthy Swam ikal!
What?
- Then who was it? Your dad? - Do you know her name?
Name?
You're going to romance her without knowing her name?
Is it a problem? - Of course!
What will you write on a greeting card?
What about the wedding card? Will you put a question mark on it?
That's true! I have to find her name first.
But George,
what's in a name?
Do you love her or her name?
That's true!
First you should know which caste she is from!
Jama-At-Islami, Mujahid or... - What nonsense are you talking?
Oh! You're from a different religion, right?
Marthoma, Catholic, RC or LTTE?
Talking about RC, the booze is over!
You bloody fool! Right when I'm trying to set his life!
I have sent the laundry guy. He'll bring the stuff.
George.
These castes and communities do not matter in today's times.
You don't have to bother about it!
But..
Name! You need to know that!
That's important, George!
Can you stand by one opinion?
Pallan, you are such an idiot!
Since she came for Simon's dad's death;
She must be Simon's relative! So if we call Simon, problem solved!
That's true!
That's a great idea!
George, your father-in-law is literate!
Reading newspaper!
Simon?
What is it?
His dad died yesterday.
He had come there yesterday.
With a great wreath. Where did you buy it from?
From a shop!
He's perfect for you.
We've come to invite you for his dad's memorial service.
Everyone's here, right?
We thought we can see everyone together in the morning.
Shall we start then?
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty!
My dear friend,
My father,
Sorry. It's his father, not mine.
Jesus bro, don't let anything happen to my father!
Where did I stop?
I lost the flow. Shall I start again?
Of course! He doesn't have any otherjob!
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty!
Praise to? - The Lord, the Almighty!
My dear friend,
my father" - Where is he going?
He'll come back after reading it.
- For his memorial service,
Saturday morning, at 10.30 AM
Where is she?
Why are you always reading the newspaper?
Come to the Church once in a while!
What's your name?
PP Abu Thahir, known as Pallan!
Hey PP! Aren't you a Muslim?
Why should I come to your mosque?
You aren't secular, are you?
Vava, ask him something!
Which parish are you from?
Nothing like that! - Where is your house?
We shifted our house!
What?
Why are you sitting like this?
Don't you want to print a card like this & give a feast to people?
What feast?
Of your memorial service!
Simon, who's that rascal who went inside?
That's his friend.
So who is he? - I am his friend.
So who are you?
He is my friend, but I don't know who his friend is!
I know! His dad is my friend! - Really?
Where is this girl?
Isn't that her?
Who is it?
I'm someone who wants to be your someone.
Grandma!
You are awesome!
Have you come here with your friends to invite me for your dad's memorial service,
or for his birthday party?
What uncle?
When a soul departs, it's another soul's happy birthday, right?
Our guy is here! - Please come.
Where? - To have lunch!
Ramesh, they have left.
Did you see her'?
That's enough!
Ramesh, why are you all here?
I should be asking you that.
Aren't you ashamed to go begging for votes in your dad's name,
a day after he died?
It's not that.
My dad's.
Just because your dad & his group,
ruled ourtown;
don't think that you can do the same by using his death!
That's not possible, Simon!
Your dad, that rascal. - George!
How dare you speak ill about those who died!
Bloody rascal!
Someone start the car!
Us friends can say anything between us!
But if someone else comes to rub his nose into it,
this George will slap him.
Hey Vava!
Are you pissing all that you drank?
I'm done!
George, did you take the rent for the ground from the party?
Vava would've done that.
Right?
I remembered something while I was pissing there.
I have to go meet a girl tomorrow morning for an alliance.
For whom?
You? ' Ya!
Why did you remember that while pissing?
I remembered!
Dude, just taste this.
Over here. - Have it!
Bring it here!
Awesome! - Is it?
Superb!
It's nice, dude!
Sheesh! I should've sold it tomorrow. - What?
It's 3 days old. I brought it to feed the pigs.
Then I thought it'll be a good deed if I gave it to you!
You gave us food which was 3 days old?
I've been doing that for so many years now!
You just have hair on your head or what?
We'll kill you!
Didn't you say that it's tasty?
Stop there! - Don't throw it!
I'll kill you today! - George!
I am really hungry!
Did you see my tummy?
Yourtummy has swollen up!
He might be pregnant! - What are you saying?
Hey! I'll buy food for you from outside.
Dude, buy some food for Josephettan from outside.
There's a small one.
Have it & go to sleep like a child!
Should I come with you?
Go, man! Sing a lullaby and put him to sleep!
I don't understand what this sentiments is all about!
It's not sentiments!
Then? - While we were studying in 10th standard,
when we came to this ground after being thrown out of our houses,
for watching our teacher take a bath,
this Josephettan said,
'Come on in, boys!' and took us in!
How can we forget that?
You made me emotional!
Leave that! When do you have to go to meet your girl tomorrow?
'W AM 'm the morning.
So we should take our jeep, right?
Shouldn't we have a ball? - Ya!
Let it happen first! Then we'll have all that!
The groom can sit on the front seat now.
Jose, don't lose concentration.
Our dad is going through so much trouble not to make you a priest, but a Bishop!
This personality development class is for its preparation.
There would hot chicks over here.
You should have a lot of self-control!
What are you looking at? Self-Control!
Ya right! - Go then!
Jesus Bro, what's going to happen to him?
Jose!
Are you playing at least today?
You're such a chicken! - Get lost!
- Hey! - What?
Come, play! - Get lost!
What is it?
Nothing! You carry on, Georgettan!
What if I play instead of him?
Well..
I'll play, dude!
George!
The girl is waiting over there!
Don't play with my life!
George doesn't play just like that!
If I play, it will always for a bet!
Only then, there will be a competitive mind.
George, I have a lot of hopes on that girl!
Shouldn't we get the money to fill diesel to go there?
1000 Rupees!
Shall We play?
If you're man enough, play against George!
Seeing this house and property, I think the girl will be really pretty.
Why are you wearing an underwear on your head?
It's not an underwear. It's a bandana! New style!
The girl shouldn't know now that I don't have hair.
Not having hair is fine, but won't she know that you've got no brains?
Shut up!
Blabbering without even knowing English! Bloody fools!
As if you know a lot of English! - That's why I stopped with 2 words!
Be decent.
Then you can wait here.
When I talk to that girl alone,
ask this rascal not to peep, George!
I won't peep when you're talking!
Who is the girl's father?
You?
This is the groom!
Namaste!
What are we waiting for? Let's go inside.
Let's have the snacks & tea.
Come! Let's go!
Just a minute!
Uncle, would you have 2000 Rupees with you?
Not as a loan!
You can minus it from his dowry!
What are you looking at?
We're going to become a family! You have cash! Then what?
Here you go! Keep m
George never takes debts from anyone.
Didn't I tell you not to play?
I gambled with money, and lost!
And I've given you the cash as well!
Now there shouldn't be any talking about this. Okay?
Get going! - Come, dude!
Are you done already?
I didn't see her! - Even we didn't see her!
Did you take money from her father to give them?
Us men will have many such dealings!
What happened here?
You want to know what happened?
Get up!
Get up, you rascals!
Aren't you ashamed?
Asking for an advance of dowry from the girl's dad before you've even seen her!
We didn't get that, uncle!
Get out!
Won't we return it if we got it? - Get out!
Don't push!
Did he talk like that? - Ya!
So you didn't see the girl?
Getting her married to you or not is his choice!
But,
if we have come so far,
we will leave only after seeing that girl.
Come on guys!
Dude!
That snob is the girl's dad.
The other snob is her mother.
The film that they both produced & directed together,
should we buy a ticket for that?
We'll start with that!
This dwarf boy.. Sorry! I mean, handsome boy!
'What's wrong in letting him see your stupid daughter, you rascal?'
I'll start with that!
Come!
Stop there!
Stop, I say!
We stopped!
Just because I took 1000 bucks from you, you sent these boys out?
First you get out!
If you have called us to meet the girl,
we'll go only after meeting her!
Come on, search! - Where are you off to?
Oh! Is it a block here?
Then we'll take the bye-pass! Come! - Stop!
Where are you going?
Come on!
Dead - What are you doing?
Hey girl! 'Stop!
Where are you?
What are you guys doing?
Hey girl! - Stop there, you!
You can't see my daughter unless you kill me!
Hey curly!
Just give him a dose!
Move away!
Hey dear!
What is this, man? Hey dear!
Where is this girl?
Are you the girl?
The girl we were looking for?
Dude!
The film they directed is Bahubali, dude!
What's your name?
My name is Walter Varghese.
Since when?
Also known as Vava!
You can call me 'Wow'!
You scoundrels, don't do anything to her! Move!
Dear,
If you don't get out of here right now, I'll call the police.
Aunty, by the by l..
Dude! - Daddy!
Daddy, please forgive me!
I did it unknowingly. - Uncle,
how did you do this?
Were there some co-producers? - Shut your bloody mouth!
Uncle, instead of those 1000 Rupees,
if I bring 2000 Rupees from somewhere;
can this problem be compromised?
Please! - He really liked the girl!
Please ask the son who's holding my hand from behind,
to come forward.
Hey! Dude!
Leave my daddy!
What is it, uncle?
Oh my God!
What's the matter? - Is there any use if I stay here, daddy?
Get out of my house!
You want to get married at this age?
Bald-head! - As if your head is a dense forest!
Whatever!
You look like you're as old as my dad!
I look like your dad?
Somehow we found a proposal!
And you've screwed up that as well!
I want to know something today!
It's either you or me!
What are you saying? - Shut up!
Are you leaving this house or should I leave?
Why are you looking at me?
Uncle! - What is it?
Did you think that it would've been better to plant a tree instead of him?
Why?
That's an apt dialogue for this situation!
What the hell is your problem?
What's your problem? - I was trying to make the situation better!
What?
Here are your clothes!
Where will you go at this age of yours?
Get lost!
I'm not going anywhere. You should get out of here!
That will be a bigger problem, uncle. - Why?
If people say that a healthy young man is having fun outside,
leaving his old parents back at home,
isn't it a disgrace?
How can he have fun when he is always broke?
Don't say that, uncle!
I'm having fun even though I'm even more broke than him!
You're the one who's spoiling him! I should slap you first!
This is the problem with all the dads!
Do you know something?
Only sons have made their names in history, not dads!
For example, Mammootty, Mohanlal, do you know the names of their fathers?
Leave that. The father of our nation, Gandhiji;
Do you know his dad's name? - I know that.
Karam" Karamana" - Ya. Karamana Janardanan Gandhi'.!
Don't make me talk!
L\\ 'N \\ \ \ Q; SA \ \ Q
One day, after he becomes rich and comes to meet you,
if I don't see you running behind him saying that you're his dad,
Didn't you talk about a tree earlier'? I'll tie you up on it & whack your butt!
My dad? - What dad?
You go inside! If you step out, I'll slap you!
What are you looking at? Go out!
I told him to go out.
I'm also going out!
Are you kidding me? - What just happened here?
Did you learn anything? - Yes.
Jose,
are these kids studying with you? - Great!
They're studying to become nuns.
There is some class for them here.
Oh! Those teams? - Ya.
Jose, wait downstairs. - What?
Wait downstairs!
Oh my God!
This was an unexpected twist!
Have you decided to become a nun?
Don't do that!
He said that it's housefull there.
At our Christ's place.
There are plenty of brides it seems.
There's no competition between Christ & Krishnan to collect maximum brides, right?
Oh God! - And ya,
This scope doesn't have much scope like earlier.
Can't you consider something which gives you a better life?
Something romantic. I can support you!
I expect a twist in the climax where you would come to me!
His meeting with the girl was spoiled,
and I think I'll miss my girl too!
We're equally depressed now, Vava!
Did you curse me, Vava?
Did you feel so?
So you cursed me, you dog?
Slightly! - Slightly?
Leave him, dude!
Look at Bindu making an 'H' over there.
Hey Bindu!
What are you planting there?
Didn't I tell you that you can't do this in this ground?
Take these off! - Don't take it off!
Throw it away! - What are they doing, Georgetta?
Don't let the rod hit you!
New admissions have come, like you asked for!
No need of admissions! The school is closed!
She will come right now! She is here!
This is one student. Many more are coming.
No one else has to come.
Heard him? No one has to come. All of you leave the ground!
Let these kids learn it!
But I'll be embarrassed then!
Chechi! - Yes?
Just a minute.
If you hadn't come, I would've had to shut this.
This can't be done daily.
Just once in a while. You can do a couple of rounds & leave.
Why are you boring people who're paying the fees with your talk?
Get started quickly!
Come!
Bindu teacher! - Bindu!
Hey! What did you call herjust now?
Didn't you call her? - I called her, right?
Then why are you calling again! Don't be over-smart!
What is it, Georgetta?
Do you know that girl personally?
Yes. I know her.
That girl..
Is her family planning to make her a nun?
Well, her younger brother had a deadly fever some time back.
So they made an offering!
That if the fever is gone, they would make her a nun!
In our state, Kerala;
there are only 8 girls for 10 boys.
So if good-looking hot chicks make such decisions, how is it fair?
What are you saying? Move away!
Sorry.
Can't you friends advise her'?
We did all that!
Still, the girls of today would wish to become a lot more than that, right?
When we told her that, she is saying that her grandma told her;
that from childhood, she doesn't have those three things that a girl should have!
Chechi! - Just a minute.
Well, 3..
One is there.
I saw th ree.
Erase those three from your mind!
Erase that image from your mind!
What are you counting?
Merlin is your sister!
Still, George" - What still?
Sister. Keep that in mind!
Sister! Sister! - What are those 3 things?
Bindu!
H 6V-
Don't mistake me when I'm asking this.
What are those 3 things that a girl should have?
Longing, desire, stubbornness.
You didn't understand?
Longing, desire, love!
That's what we also said. Love, love, love!
I think you grossly mistook it, George!
What's on your mind?
Get lost you idiots!
Hey! Stop!
I want to say something.
Please go.
Hey!
You have an old hag at home who has one foot in the grave, right?
I mean, your grandma!
It wasn't right to take some decisions based on what she said.
Bindu Teacher told me that you don't have the three things that a girl should have.
Longing, desire, stubbornness.
If I prove that you have these three things,
you won't be the bride of Christ then;
you will be the bride of this Georgettan.
Hey!
Do you know how many great people have sat under this banyan tree?
You mean Mohanlal & Parvathy?
This is a place with a lot of positive energy!
Our ground should also be like this.
This place is the pride of the people of Thrisshur!
Like this, our ground should be the prestige of Edathirinji.
Are you going to build a temple in Mathayi ground?
No dude!
You know this feeling when we start thinking that we should do something?
Why should we feel that?
Until today,
No. Until a couple of days back,
I didn't have any ambition in life.
So, our Jesus bro told me...
Who?
Christ, dude!
Hey George,
there's an aim with which I sent you to the earth.
He told me that and showed it to me.
How is that possible?
She is going to be a bride of Christ, right?
She's just going to become that, right? Before that he showed me the way.
Why?
After he showed me such a beautiful girl,
how can He not let me get her'?
The Christ whom I have studied about from the Bible is not that type!
He has a really sacrificing mind!
Love you, bro!
Why are you waving to the 'Kakka' (crow)?
Because I'm a Kakkaan (Muslim)! - Don't let anyone hear that!
Isn't that my girl?
How come she is here?
Jesus bro,
is this a sign?
OOPs!
It's so tall!
I would've fallen down.
Shiva“ bro,
I know that you and Jesus are great guys!
So I'm telling you,
please be with me!
Looks like you were longing for it!
Right? - Yes.
Now I'm sure that you have one among those three things!
You are the one who showed me a positive sign,
Jesus bro!
So I'm not going to let her go, for you!
I can let go of anything except that fruit!
'Her lovely smile is not like a rose petal'
'She doesn't look like a ray of moonlight'
'Her eyes are not the blue sea, like the poet described'
'Her untied hair doesn't reach her knee'
'Then what was it?'
'At first sight'
'That made something inside my heart say that you're my girl'
'Her lovely smile is not like a rose petal'
'She doesn't look like a ray of moonlight'
'You should have longing'
'You should have desire'
'You should have stubbornness'
'Inside my heart, there are drum rolls'
'From the time I saw you, there are so many thoughts in my mind'
'When I close my eyes'
'I see the temple festival in my eyes'
'All my ears can listen, is her voice'
'Solomon's Songs are playing inside my heart on its own'
'And it has only one voice'
'Like the Thekkinkadu ground, there's a festival happening in my heart'
'Her lovely smile is not like a rose petal'
'She doesn't look like a ray of moonlight'
'Hey Sunshine, give me some gold for our wedding chain'
'0' Church bells, prepare for our betrothal'
'Hey silver moonlight, can you bless me with your smile?'
'0' night clouds, come with a chariot'
'My heart is an Eden garden'
'And you are the little birdie who comes there in search of the fruit'
'Even though you aren't fair or beautiful'
'It's not a lie'
'You are his girl from now on'
'Her lovely smile is not like a rose petal'
'She doesn't look like a ray of moonlight'
'Her eyes are not the blue sea, like the poet described'
'Her untied hair doesn't reach her knee'
'Then what was it, at first sight'
'That made something in my heart say that you're my girl'
Today, in this group;
there are people who have embarked on the path of Christian renunciation,
and the people who have started thinking deeply about it.
In at least some of their minds,
there would be slight fluctuations.
Whether the decision they have taken is right or wrong.
Desire, longing,
the need to be loved,
all these are blessings from God.
The wishes and desires that humans have during a normal life;
Don't consider all those as sins,
and don't believe that renunciation means staying away from all of them!
Realizing that they are not sins and then sacrificing them,
to pray for the blessings of God, and the well-being of humanity,
to do service for humanity from the bottom of your heart,
such a decision,
that is called renunciation!
May God bless all of you! Amen!
Where are you rushing off to?
What are you doing in this priest's attire?
How else can I come to this seminary to see you without anyone doubting me?
It's been a week since you came out of this place.
Waiting outside is really a torture!
Praise The Lord! - Praise The Lord!
You? ' It's me!
Who are you?
Yes. I am Reverent Father"
Father George Mathayiparambil.
From which Church? - From my town, Father.
So this child has a guide now!
We don't need to find anyone else to teach her what's right and wrong.
Of course!
I teach her many things at regular intervals.
Shall I?
No. We shall go together.
Not that. Shall I leave?
Okay.
Hey!
Now I'm sure that you have two of those three things.
What things?
Desire, longing, interest, love!
To me! - Ya right!
Then why did you save me from that Father'?
This is it!
I have gotten inside your heart!
It's true!
Isn't his fancy dress competition over yet?
Why are you drawing a triangle in front of those priests?
Was it a triangle?
Did he join the original priests over there?
Did he?
Dude, did you see that?
Looks like they are dopers!
dopers?
Dude, the grass, Idukki, marijuana, weed!
Since we've found them, let's ask them!
Do you have money? - For what?
They won't give it to you for free!
Pallan, when did you start it?
It will be a problem if George comes to know.
Sheesh! - Pallan, no!
You guys sell this stuff to school kids?
Aren't you Constable Dasan's son?
Is it? - Ya.
Then why don't you booze? You won't be caught by the cops if you drink & drive, right?
Yo bro!
Why just drink & drive?
If you can smoke & fly!
Didn't you eat rice & fish for lunch? Talk in Malayalam!
After bringing disgrace to all the people of Kochi,
you've come here to disgrace Thrisshur as well now?
What is this, man?
It's because of scoundrels like you,
that people say that the entire new generation are stoners!
Get lost with your stuff!
Hey! Don't talk too much!
You guys are hanging around the seminary & trying to mess with us?
You're trying to woo nuns & get their clips, and you're advising us?
How dare you insult nuns?
You!
How dare you slap me?
Leave me!
I'll finish you today!
Leave my hair!
Praise the Lord, Father! - Ya, I'll praise him later.
I'll kick you!
What's the issue?
They're hitting us for no reason!
Then why didn't you tell me?
What's the matter?
He didn't give me a colour pencil when I asked for it.
Run! - He's running away!
Run for your lives!
Open it! Start the car!
Open the door!
He went and messed with them and got beaten up.
Such a solid pounding! - Oh my God!
I wasn't part of the fight, right?
So before knowing what it is, I also hit them!
I don't know what's going to happen next!
George, someone is following us!
What?
What do you want?
Looks like we're in a soup because of you!
Shall we run before they destroy ourjeep?
Why?
Shall we start?
Run for your lives! - Oh! You meant running?
Stop!
Run this way!
Get up!
Praise The Lord, Father!
Many people in this world,
wear this holy attire after making a lot of sacrifices,
to learn about the path of God.
I had really wished a lot to see you wearing this holy attire.
I didn't even mind dying,
if I could hear you talking about the love of God at the altar,
with a Bible in your hand.
Even though I knew that you were interested in none of that,
my prayers were always with you for whatever you were doing!
But what you did today".
I am a priest as well!
A priest has certain responsibilities to the society.
If I see someone doing wrong,
If I know about it,
I'm scared to scold him or correct him.
I expect a question that why don't you correct your own son before others.
Always!
If you wish that I shouldn't hear that,
you can decide.
Whether you want to stay in this house or not.
When it's time to go back to the nests,
you're out of the nests!
You must have done something shady!
Will you be here for a while? - We don't know!
Keep climbing up, boys!
I didn't think that you would be thrown out!
That teacher put us in a lot of trouble!
Come on in, boys!
Come on!
I got scared at first! - Me too!
When it's time to go back to the nests,
you've come out of the nests!
Dude,
do you remember when we came up here for the first time?
After peeping into the tuition teachefs bathroom!
Didn't I tell you back then,
we would only have this water tank & this ground always!
You had said that we will reach great heights because of the ground.
We will reach there, dude!
Shall I tell you something?
Shall we start doing agriculture on 20 cents of this ground?
There's a huge demand for organic vegetables now!
The idea is good! But who will plough the land?
Who will do that?
Then we'll cancel it!
We'll cancel it!
Then shall we build 3-4 shops here & let them out for rent?
That's a great idea.
That's what every Malayali does. We just have to relax and get the money.
That's it! - Great idea.
We should keep one shop for ourselves.
Then we should start a very interesting business!
A light business where there's no physical work.
What about a cotton shop?
Apart from cotton,
something else which is impressive, man!
What about chicken shit business?
That's a great business!
It won't get spoiled and no one would steal it as well!
Great idea!
Dude, a business that attracts customers;
customers should come. - Is that needed?
The first customer is here.
Isn't that George's mom?
Mum 'Ya!
George, she will call you back home using emotional blackmail.
Three of us came out of our houses just for you!
George!
Mom, don't use your emotional blackmail to call me back home! I won't come!
You know something, mom?
Home should be a place where I can walk in & walk out anytime I want to!
And a dad should be someone who says, come on in, my boy!
In that way, I'm sure
this is my house!
You see that thing like a cashewnut scratching himself?
He is my dad!
George! - What?
I don't have any problem here, mom!
It's true that there's a bed, mattress and blanket at home.
There's water to bathe, there's oil, soap, good food to eat,
but all those facilities.
Are not here, mom!
I came out in a fit of anger.
Mom, do you have any idea how I can come back home?
I came here to say that, George.
So you've come with an idea, Mercykutty!
You should be with me!
I should get back after teaching a lesson to dad! What's the idea, mom?
Don't even think of coming back home.
Disappointed?
Really!
Good children aren't born.
They are raised to be good.
I couldn't do that.
Asking you not to come back home is not a punishment for you.
It's for me.
I have decided to bear that.
Come.
Mom, can you re-think about it?
George!
Boys, wake up!
Wake up!
Enough of sleeping! Wake up!
Over there!
Who are you? What are you doing here?
Haven't you seen this earlier'? We're measuring the ground.
Measuring the ground?
Whose ground do you think it is?
Why are you shouting at us?
That man who's leaning on that car asked us to do it!
Hey!
Is this happening here because you asked them to do it?
Yes!
Who do you think you are?
Do you think this is your dad's ground, to do this nonsense over here!
What's your name, buddy? - George Vadakkan!
Vadakkan George,
I am Peter.
Peter Mathayi.
That means, the son of Mathayi who's standing here as that statue.
So this ground is mine!
So,
I'm the one who decides if I should measure it, plough it, destroy it with a bomb,
or run naked around here!
What are you looking at? Fix the measuring sticks!
Davis!
Path rose!
Listen to me!
Don't make noise!
Silence!
We haven't gathered here to make noise.
Please talk one by one. Talk peacefully.
Father,
what's the proof that he is Mathayi's son?
Even if he is his son, where was he all these years?
We've submitted all proofs & documents here.
Don't talktoo much!
What the hell are you saying?
If you spread some papers on the table, how can that be a proof?
Calm down!
Peter,
This Mathayi ground,
Your father Mathayi wrote this ground in the name of this town and its people.
The document which proves that your dad donated this ground
to the Church Com mittee as the trustee back then.
The original one! We have that here.
I believe that you & the others have read this document, Father.
In that, it has been clearly said that
the Church has only the supervision rights.
What does that mean, Father?
After my parents' death,
the ownership of this ground belongs to me, their son.
What the hell are you saying?
How can the property which was donated, belong to you?
I will tell you how.. - Peter,
Your dad donated this ground for the public functions here,
and to generate some interest in sports among the youth here.
Father, I agree to all that.
I'm not someone who opposes sports & games.
But is that what is happening over there?
The waste from the market nearby is gathered & burned there,
some kids who skip school sit there & smoke beedis and play around,
not just that, all the clothes from the colony
are being dried there after washing.
And, some really jobless youngsters
are using that ground to get drunk and then puke over there;
and to take a shit when they are sent out of their houses.
He said that generally, but your dad thinks it's about us!
Dude,
if our Shakthan Tham puran's (King) sons, grandsons or cousins come here
and say that 'Our forefathers used to tie their horses here,
how can you drive a bus around here,
and we need our property back'
Will the people of Thrisshur agree to that?
Wait! There's more coming!
The joke is good! Father,
proving that no sporting activity is happening there,
I have the right to annul the existing agreement, as it's only rightful heir.
I know how to get it back legally or othenlvise!
Let me see how you're going to get back through other ways!
We will do whatever we like on that ground!
Let me see what you're going to do!
I don't have to tell jobless people like you what I'm going to do. Get lost!
Since we don't have any other job, we're going to give you some trouble!
As we please, we will spit on that ground,
Sorry uncle!
We will take a shit there when we please, like this!
We will puke there!
If you can, show me what you're going to do!
What the hell are you waiting for? Get up & go home! Come, guys!
Get lost!
Such useless creatures!
Iwonder who his dad is, Father.
Peter! - What is it, Father?
Unfortunately, it's me.
Dude, when I saw your performance there, I thought you would actually take a shit.
Shut up, Pallan!
No street dogs should come here & balk for Mathayi's ground.
We'll show them what we can do for that!
Let's see what can be done. Get in!
I'll sit on the front seat! - No. I'll sit there!
Get in wherever, man! - I'll sit in front, that's all!
You sat there last week.
Slowly!
Why are you sitting here? Get up & go!
Get up!
- Shashi, increase the bass.
Mike testing!
Stop!
As part of a new programme initiated by our Government,
when our Panchayat, me & my friends are organizing a great programme there,
you are playing around on your scooter'?
What's happening there?
In the presence of our respected Panchayat president,
we are commencing the program me to sterilize street dogs,
announced by the Kerala Government, at this Mathayi ground.
Oh! So that's the programme!
Of course!
For this town and for the welfare of our people,
George will always be here at Mathayi ground.
For the kind attention of George, who's loitering somewhere.
- George should come on to the stage for sterilization immediately.
Not for me! That's for the dogs!
He's calling me for the cutting ceremony.
Come, take part & make it a success.
All of us know about
some dog shits who are hell bent on protecting dogs!
I say that this programme is a tight slap on their faces!
This is the Mathayi ground that Mathayi dreamt about!
It must be a long time since you guys had food.
Here's some tasty beef & parotta. Eat it!
- Please come forward, friends!
What happened?
Don't bit me! You don't eat beef?
How did they get out of the cage?
Even dogs are scared of beef now! I can't even get inside this.
0h my God! Dog!
Oh my God! Help me!
Oh my God! The dog bit me!
George.
Have some tea.
You got bail?
Usually, for such cases, you'll be remanded for 2 months.
What happened this time?
How did you get away? - What?
Even dogs aren't happy with our President's rule.
Any dog would be tempted to bite him!
If dogs didn't bite him, I was planning to.
Get lost!
You want to rub it in when everything's screwed up?
But Mathayi ground became famous, right? - I'll pour this on your face!
If you throw it, I'll add it in your account.
Josephetta,
a lot of money has come to the donation box.
Take it & come fast. I'll make snacks.
Burned the house to kill a rat!
This wasn't necessary in this ground, George!
I was just thinking Gandhiji and Nelson Mandela.
I understood their state of mind only now.
Trying to do something good for the people, and being jailed for that.
And do the people have any gratitude towards them? No!
Some people came claiming ownership on our Mathayi ground.
Didn't I give them a shocker?
Even though it flopped,
new ideas are on the way.
And tell Bindu teacher that,
she can continue the driving school there.
Why are you silent?
Then you carry on. I'll have a soda & come back.
Ge°'9e! . Yes!
What did you call me?
After hearing your song that day,
I realized that you actually have a voice, only now!
Even after I have been coming behind you for so long,
this is the first time that you're calling me by my name!
George is really happy!
Can you ca“ me again?
Ge°'9e! . Yes!
I won't blame you for coming behind me all these days.
Men will always go behind women, right?
That's a valid point!
But do you just want to keep doing this?
Don't you want things to happen?
Another valid point! Very good!
I have made up my mind on something, George.
If I have to consider something else, even I should feel that I want it, right?
And there should be some reason that would make me feel so, right?
You're trying to prove that I have the three things that a girl should have.
But have you ever thought about what all a man should have?
For a man".
Shut up!
Honoufl
Self-respect!
The masculinity which can give a girl strength & trust!
Do you have any of these?
Is the Father at Marthoma Church,
that means, your father;
Is he proudly telling the people of the Church, that his son is a dog-catcher?
If he's saying so, good!
If not anything else, the ability to understand who you are, by yourself;
That's a minimum requirement for a person.
Common sense!
Without any of that, he just wants to follow me around! Sad!
She should've stayed silent only.
When she opened her usually shut mouth,
it was like the grand fireworks of Thrisshur Pooram!
Everything is hazy right now!
She lost all the impression she had about me because of that dog issue.
Seeing this programme we did to fight against Peter,
even our Josephettan reacted strongly!
That's true, George!
It was something nasty that didn't match your character!
It was such a bad idea!
All of us executed the idea together and now all the blame is on me?
Bloody fools!
After catching dogs, you've started fishing now?
Yes. You wanna join?
This ground was my dad's pride. And now you made it a dog ground!
Destroy that statue as well, George!
With that your problem will be solved, right?
When I heard that this ground which my dad donated for sports is getting wasted,
I came here to fulfill my dad's wish.
And on that day, when you were being over-smart for no reason,
I just made my introduction flashier!
What you see there might be just a statue for you guys.
But for me, it's my father.
Only if it was one of your fathers in that position,
you would understand my feelings.
Until you don't understand that,
my fathefs wish is not going to be fulfilled.
The ground will always remain a waste land.
The ownership documents & donation documents of Mathayi ground are in this.
Do whatever you want with it.
Wait!
If you spoke sincerely like this, back at the Church,
this George would've understood.
When you raised your voice in front of my dad & other townsmen,
we also reacted strongly. That's all!
This Mathayi ground which we have been seeing since childhood,
is great for us too!
And it's lying here like a wasteland,
because we don't know what to do with it.
Peter, you can tell us what to do over here!
That made me really happy, George!
You understood my mind perfectly!
We shall form a Kabaddi team here.
I have the necessary contacts.
If we bring a national team here to play against our team,
with these channels, newspapers and other media,
both us, and our Mathayi ground will become with just one game!
That's awesome!
But who will play over here?
You guys!
There are four of you, right?
Us? . Yes!
Kabaddi?
It requires physical strain, right?
Of course!
With us, it will be very risky!
My dear George, there's no risk at all!
Isn't it a game?
You can do it!
Just be with me!
I'll take care of the rest!
Well..
Give me your hand! No need of any doubt. This is fixed!
It's fixed!
Don't say anyfhiHQ!
Why did you promise to play?
Didn't you ask us even once?
Vava, don't think negatively!
It's for our ground, right?
If this becomes famous, it's credit belongs to us as well!
Pallan, didn't I tell you that day? - What?
That we should make our Mathayi ground as famous Th risshu I's Thekkinkadu ground.
Thekkinkadu ground didn't become famous because of Kabaddi,
by by hosting the Thrisshur Pooram (festival).
With so many elephants!
Do you have an elephant with you?
Consider this also as a type of Pooram (festival).
A Pooram that's going to make our Mathayi ground famous!
A Pooram that we are conducting!
This Georgettan's Pooram!
Let the Pooram & festival wait,
have some tea & buns.
Have it! - Great!
It's 3 days old, right?
It's fresh! I bought it from the next shop!
Bring it back.
I'll add this to your account.
Kabaddi is a good idea.
But we don't know ABCD of the game.
You don't need to know ABCD to play Kabaddi.
You should have a six pack body like me!
That statue is of someone who died while playing Kabaddi without knowing the game!
Will there be four more statues on this ground soon?
Will it be a statue ground?
This guy is so negative!
Whatever said & done,
we'll rock the Kabaddi game!
There ain't much tension or risk in Kabaddi, like you've imagined.
Kabaddi is simple.
And powerful as well!
I've heard someone saying this somewhere!
Oh ya!
On the playground,
this block which comes behind the end-line,
is called sitting block!
That means, everyone who's out of the game will sit here.
Wow! So are we going to sit there?
Concentrate!
If you have the zeal to win,
George, you will be able to play Kabaddi.
But if you come & sit here wearing a sunglass that doesn't match your face,
sitting like a boiled banana, there's no point!
Apart from grinning like this,
are you guys of any use for your families,
at least to collect cow dung or grind beans?
NO. right?
George, if you stop grinning,
and get on to this ground with these guys & play Kabaddi,
it will be of at least some use for this town or these children!
Come on boys!
George.
This is Shibu,
this is Vishnu,
and Aneesh.
They are professional players.
They will be with us. No need to be tensed!
We shall play a game now! What say, George?
I've spoken to a team in Kunnamkulam.
A real game!
Kunnamkulam is local, right? What if we play against Jakarta?
Jakarta?
Jalandhar will be better than Jakarta!
I'm also interested in that!
I can understand other languages as well!
What? - Jal-Andar, you meant boozing, right?
What the hell are you saying?
It's a Kabaddi game!
Oh! Kabaddi?
Peter bro,
are we good enough yet?
Yes, dude!
We will rock it!
You have Mathayi's son's word! - Whose?
Mathayi's. That statue guy.
George, so shall we rock it?
George!
The Kabaddi champion is here!
George.
Give me 10 Rupees.
I'll give you the money!
Show us a sample of Kabaddi on this ground!
Come on guys!
Awesome!
Get going, dude!
He might die on the ground! - Get going, man!
- Looks like he is all set!
Go, man!
Catch him!
Don't leave him!
Pin him down!
Don't let go, Josephetta!
Oh my God!
Catch him!
Awesome, Josephetta!
That's it!
Superb!
My darling!
Awesome job!
He's so strong! He is crazy!
I'm crazy about the game!
And the players are mad-men!
Josephetta, that was awesome.
Here you go! - George,
give me 10 Rupees.
Hey! Keep this.
George, give me those 10 Rupees.
Give me 10 Rupees. - What is this?
Here VOu go!
Poor man!
This Josephettan takes money only from Christ and me!
So I'm going to fix the date for the match at Kunnamkulam!
Okay!
Lions Club Kunnamkulam
This is just a trailer!
The film is yet to come!
I will go to Bangalore & come back soon!
To fix the next team that we should play against!
Don't find a very strong team!
Only then we'll have a good name!
Let the team have a big name!
But the players needn't be so big!
What are you saying, George?
Let's bring a national team!
Let our Mathayi ground become famous!
Will anyone say that today's game was your first game?
What?
First game!
We'll rock it!
Don't stop practicing!
I'll take care of the rest!
Sheesh!
(reciting prayers)
Amen!
Praise the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit!
Praise the Lord!
- Good night!
Why are you so late?
Only if girls go to bed early,
boys can go to bed early.
What do you want, George?
Father Mathews Vadakkan of the Marthoma Church,
Do you know what he's saying about his son now?
That he's a sportsman who is the pride of the town!
What say? Are you happy now?
In that case,
a future international Kabaddi champion is in front of you right now.
What you're doing right now will be a matter of pride for your father.
Even I am like that.
My father's wishes & decisions are important for me too.
Please stop.
Shall I tell you something?
I have proved that you two of those three things that Bindu teacher said.
If I prove that you have the third one as well,
this George Vadakkan would be at your doorstep the next second!
With wedding card!
So, dream about me and go to sleep. Good night!
Shall I clear a doubt?
You're free now, right?
Shall I give you a kiss before leaving?
Oh my God!
Come on man! Kick some ass!
Catch him! Come on!
George, catch him!
Leave me!
What are you doing?
My hand slipped, man!
I'll tell you something!
Your riding is fine. But even Peter noted this slipping issue.
If you don't correct it, it will be a problem!
I'm not used to holding anyone's legs.
There's a solution for that. I'll tell you!
Like a mentalist.
Mentalist?
As a psychiatrist, I'm telling you that you have a disease.
A phobia. I'll solve it right now!
Just imagine it's a girl who's coming to you &try holding the leg.
I can't hold any random girl's leg.
George, imagine it's Merlin who is coming to you.
What? - You felt good, right? That's all!
Imagine that the rider who's coming is Merlin.
Bring Merlin to your mind.
There should only be Merlin in your mind!
Merlin's body, Merlin's legs, Merlin alone!
Merlin is coming! Merlin!
Hallelujah!
Shut up!
' So: m
Praise the Lord!
Let Merlin come!
Why aren't you holding it?
My dream was spoiled!
I lost my mood!
We don't need a burnt Merlin. - Don't insult my colour!
You come here!
Does Merlin look like a frog? - Get lost!
I'm doing a treatment here. Don't spoil it!
Oh dear! Did you see Merlin's tummy shaking?
George, here comes your Merlin.
Merlin, whom you were waiting for.
Look!
Isn't that Merlin?
Did you see her'?
George, are you romancing him?
He is crazy! Why are you lying there for him?
Phew! Good that you called him now!
2 more minutes and my belly would've grown much more!
Thinking of Merlin won't work.
I can't play Kabaddi! - George,
Peter had called.
The team which is playing against us has arrived.
They are practicing at the indoor stadium in the evening.
He asked us to go see them.
Shall we go meet the Kauravas, Arjun?
I mean, shall we go see them?
From his height, I think he is the captain.
What height?
What kind of a captain is this?
If he's the captain, imagine how the rest of the team would be like.
I think we can easily beat this team!
George, don't kill them!
I can't promise all that!
If I'm fully involved in the game, I won't bother about anything!
I will thrash them royally!
'We're screwed'
I want to see my mom!
I told that Peter specially.
That the players needn't be so big.
Even if we are going to play against this team,
we should ask Peter to get us a masseur for our team!
That's it! - But that's only if we play!
What are you looking at?
You still want to play after seeing them?
Dude, even if we watch their game we would be injured!
Why is he scaring us?
Pallan, I made a promise to Peter.
Then you can play alone!
I don't want to walk into a death trap.
Let's do something then.
We can play chess, carroms or rummy
and try to make our Mathayi ground famous. That'll be awesome!
Dude!
Here comes Shah Rukh Khan from Chak De India!
I got up to say that I'll take a leak and come.
And you made me Shah Rukh Khan already?
What the hell is this? I'll sit here and die then!
You can die or live or do whatever you want to!
But I'm not playing this game.
Me too!
If all of you are quitting, what will I do, Jesus bro?
Hey!
Josephetta!
Did he climb up looking for us, and trip from there?
George.
Give me 10 Rupees.
Hey!
Someone give me 10 Rupees.
Father, this will be a problem.
How will we bury him here without knowing which caste he was from?
Should we consider all that in Josephettan's case?
We should!
Especially for the case of someone like him!
Has he ever said anything apart from blasphemy?
And all of us know that he used to steal money from the donation box.
Va reeth ,
Don't create an issue. - I will!
I should!
This Church and cemetery belong to us, believers.
Us believers will decide which body should be buried here.
Father, don't argue with him.
It will be an issue for the believers! - Believers!
All the waste that you guys dumped there,
didn't this poor man throw it away for you all this while?
You didn't ask for his caste or religion then!
And now when he's dead, you want to know his caste?
However you try to justify it,
we won't allow this donation box thief to be buried in this cemetery.
Hey!
Move!
Move, I say!
Vareeth, stop it!
Shall I ask you something?
Well,
Christ,
our Jesus Christ,
which Parish was he from?
What is it, Vareeth?
Do you know?
Do you know it?
Father,
do these believers who are arguing for rights over the Church & cemetery know it?
Which Parish was he from?
Trying to be smart! Believers, it seems!
Whichever land he is buried in,
that land will be deemed holy!
Let's carry our Josephettan!
'I have departed for my final journey, my dear people'
'The angel has arrived in the chariot of death, holding a candle'
'I have departed for my last journey, my dear people'
'The angel has arrived in the chariot of death, holding a candle'
'In this small world, all my duties are over'
'I am looking for a new place beside the Almighty'
'When I kiss your forehead for the last time, don't cry, don't tremble'
'As I climb up the stairs of death, please keep me in your prayers'
'Keep me in your memories, while you're covering me with a handful of mud'
'I have departed for my final journey, my dear people'
'The angel has arrived in the chariot of death, holding a candle'
'I have departed for my final journey, my dear people'
'The angel has arrived in the chariot of death, holding a candle'
'In this small world, all my duties are over'
'I am looking for a new place beside the Almighty'
'I have departed for my final journey, my dear people'
'The angel has arrived in the chariot of death, holding a candle'
'Oh my dear ones who loved me'
'While I'm leaving my body'
'In the name of Christ'
'Shall I leave, thanking you all?'
For those who don't have anyone,
there's Mathayi ground which doesn't belong to anyone! And we'll be here with you!
'Shall I leave thanking you all?'
Even I am sorry for Josephettan.
What you did was right.
But..
If you go on like this"
what's over is over.
Now, there should only be our Mathayi ground and our game in your mind!
Didn't I tell you aboutAnil-ji?
He is a national player.
He came from Bangalore with me.
We can host a national level match on our ground, only if he helps us.
He must be free by now.
Shall we meet him?
Is he the main player of your team, Peter?
Practice is going on. They will be ready before the match.
Have you gone bonkers?
Did you call me here to insult me?
Anil-ji, l..
The oldies from the Federation, the friends of your dead dad;
I came with my players because they forced me to!
Didn't I tell you? That ground is in my father's name.
Are you saying that I should send professional players to make that ground famous?
That too with losers like him?
What insult?
Would you do this, if it was Sachin Tendulkar in my place?
Will you ask me to play an international cricket match,
on that graveyard against fools like him?
And, there's no monetary gain here, right?
What will you pay me as my fees?
Pieces of your dead dad's statue?
How dare you insult my dad!
An“ Ji, don": create an issue.
I have arranged everything.
If it's about the payment,
I don't have anything else to give you.
Bu': An“,
if you can beat them,
the ground in my dad's name,
I will write that in your name!
I trust them!
They grew up on that land!
They will win!
If you can get it by beating us, you can have it.
That ground was my father's life!
It's our life & soul!
We're risking our lives here.
We will win at any cost!
Don't be tensed, George.
We will win!
I will bring some awesome players to play along with you guys.
Let us know!
If we keep talking to him..
Come, George. Let's go!
Leave it. Let's go!
Your performance was awesome, Peter!
So simple!
This game you're playing to seize our Mathayi ground from us,
it's fantastic!
What are you saying, George?
My dad's.
Your dad's...
Didn't you kill that poor Josephettan who wasn't in his senses,
for the ground?
And his bloody gamble!
George, don't assume things.
When that poor Josephettan died,
did you think that no one would know all this?
Josephettan left after giving me something to trap you!
Did you see this?
This is a dress that only you would wear in this world!
Someone give me 10 Rupees.
This ground has 2 acres of land.
It's worth around 20 crores according to the current rate.
I tried playing many games.
When I claimed my rights at the Church,
George & friends created a ruckus.
And then when I tried to enquire about the ground at the Panachayat office,
they want George's permission it seems!
For the ground that is in my dad's name!
Why can't you move legally then?
That's the problem, dude.
My great father
had written a clause.
That this ground cannot be used for purposes other than Kabaddi or other sports.
But why do you want to host a tournament with these hopeless people?
Dude,
we will make a team with these guys.
We'll fix a match where this team will play against international players.
We should take things forward in such a way that,
this ground will become the prize for the winners of the tournament.
We will be bringing first-class players.
So you can guess who would win, right?
So those who win can do anything with this ground!
The clause my loser dad wrote won't be broken as well.
How is it? Did you get it?
That's awesome, Peter.
It won't happen!
How did Mathayi have a son like you?
As long as this Joseph is alive,
you won't get this ground!
I will tell this to everyone.
Get lost, you mad-man! Who is going to believe you?
George will understand Joseph's madness!
I won't leave you!
George!
It's not like I don't know how to hand you over to the Police,
You have a lot of influence, right?
You will escape.
And try to mess with us again!
So first let's play the game that you wanted!
We can stay away from the game if we want to.
None of your plans would work.
But we will play!
It's not for your dad Mathayi's ground;
it's the land in which our Josephettan is resting.
For that, we will play!
Didn't you say earlier,
that you'll write the ground in his name if he wins?
Reverse that deal!
I am accepting that challenge.
If you were really born to Mathayi,
we will play that game with this condition.
I stand by what I said.
And since this has become a challenge,
the players whom I brought won't play in your team.
We don't need them!
Didn't you say earlier'?
If you can beat us, who grew up on that land and get that ground, then take it.
If we win,
if I see you anywhere near Mathayi Ground ever again,
I will finish you! Mind it!
Do you doubt whether you'll be able to do it or not?
When you buried Josephettan who was stranded 'm; even} cue at Mathew Ground,
my father said something.
At every town, there will be some guys like this.
People who have no particular job.
But if something has to be done for the town,
only these people would be there to do it.
So, don't believe that a jobless person is worthless.
And,
the third thing that you were looking for in me;
I have more than enough of that!
Zeal.
And I believe that you have it more than anyone else.
You should win!
You can do it.
This is Mathayi Ground.
A ground that belongs to Thrisshur district's Edathirinji Panchayat.
The playground of the children here.
Park for the elders.
It's all that and much more.
There are many such grounds all over Kerala.
They don't belong to anyone,
but at the same time, belongs to everyone.
The town's own ground!
Th ekkinkad u in Th risshu r,
Mananchira in Kozhikode,
Marine Drive in Kochi,
Kuthifikandam 'm Thiruvananthapuram.
And many more!
If someone comes, claiming ownership for these grounds on one fine morning,
Kozhikode would be em pty without Mananchira!
This belongs to some dude who ruled Kochi.
If this goes, where will the people of Kochi go?
Our Mathayi Ground is facing such a problem now.
This ground which was donated to the town by Asiad player PV Mathayi.
The argument of ownership is going to be resolved through a Kabaddi match.
Simon did an awesome job!
There are 2 Iakh likes and 3000 shares already, man!
What are these likes & shares?
Vava, will these people who liked & shared this play with us on ourteam?
NO. right?
When the players whom Peter brought left, it's just the four of us!
It's like our need now.
It's our need only!
We're in a level lower than the ground, right now.
Worthless at home, worthless in town.
Instead of Josephettan, there are four of us now, for the people to make fun of.
Even if it's just the four of us,
we will play!
Do we have anything to lose?
There's just one thing, Pallan!
When we play.
Even if we win or lose,
no one who is watching the match should forget
the day we played for our Mathayi Ground.
Why is dad coming with him?
Come!
They were reluctant to meet you by themselves.
Tell him.
George.
We may have a lot of issues with Simon.
Politically.
That's different.
But what you're doing right now, is something great!
Even I grew up playing on this Mathayi Ground.
So, for this issue, we will be with you!
This is Bhaskarettan.
He is a relative of mine.
He's a tiger who trained the Indian team for the Asiad.
The Kabaddi league that's happening right now?
He's the coach of U-Mumbai team in that league.
I started playing Kabaddi at a ground near my house.
Today there are huge apartments there.
Yourfight is to maintain the remaining playgrounds, right?
I can understand your emotions.
I will be with you!
Only one or two of you have to play.
I can bring some original players for the rest of the team!
No need for that, Bhaskaretta!
This is a fight for this Mathayi Ground.
So only the boys who grew up here have to play.
Just help us for that.
Dad,
none of the decisions I have taken were rig ht until today.
You should pray really hard for this decision to become right!
George.
Just this one decision is enough,
to absolve all your sins until yesterday.
They didn't come looking for Father Mathews of the Marthoma Church,
but George Vadakkan's father.
I will be there with you!
This entire town is with you!
And all our prayers too!
You will rock, my boys!
George, we are all with you.
Qenrgettan'.!
'Kabaddi, the game that we fight until victory'
'Kabaddi, the game in which the body & mind tremble'

'Finally, like Mathayi always wanted,
'Mathayi Ground became the town's own without any arguments'
What are you staring at while we should be rejoicing?
Start the music!
'Those jobless friends who wandered around town,
became the pride of the town.'
'Every town would have many such 'Mathayi Grounds' in different sizes.'
'To start friendships,
to solve silly fights,
to do a little bit of mischief;
a ground that belongs to no one, though it belongs to everyone"
'For many more such grounds we haven't lost yet'
'For friendships'
'There would be a George & his gang even amongst you'
After a few months, when our dudes became decent...
Shall I leave? - Okay.
Let this veil be like this, until I come back.
Shall I leave, my dear?
Shall I trim it well?
