will receive one lakh!

A matter of doubling.

Just because of your help,

'morning rituals' are taking place...

...just consider as a gratitude for that!

Have fifty,

will return as one in the evening?

Dude leave it, if not trusted!

Do we have to trust

that black fool Korah?

We've taken the decision,

sold the laptop and got the money!

That laptop is worth of 3,000 Dollars,

just sold it for 50,000 Rupees!

With this cash either one of us

can go, let's just try that.

Will go back, will drop this plan.

But with this cash I'll be the one going,

after reaching there, I'll take you!

If that is the case, I'll go first!

If at all going, will go together.

Must show them, for those who

thought we will never return.

This Johns and Korah,

who they really are!

Bloody pariah dogs

we are coming back!

How long are we waiting for porridge?

Buddy what is this, where were you?

Don't have any responsibility!

Want one is it not? - Yes.

Do you have fifty with you?

They are all regular customers

out here. You come, buddies!

You stay here, give that money.

Hey! Who is that? Is it Ambili?

Who?

- Korah!

What kind of a ridiculous name is that?

Not good enough!

Who is there, along with you?

John's!

- That is good, a nice name.

Mother, I'll go out and come.

If you go out...Who will smash chewing

leaves for me...Will your Father come!

That lady is mad!

Your Father is mad!

- Get lost!

Buddy here you go,

one lakh at your service!

Counting and all after you reach home.

That was not required!

After all, what is this? For the needy

I have arranged even the kidney!

Go and come back after visiting

Madurai, Ooty, Palani and all.

Then, don't give this to the bank!

Why?

- What why?

Only the Gandhi's picture is original,

the note is flake! Truly flake!

When caught by the police,

will be inside!

Not only you, me too!

Why do you want this money for?

- To go to America!

Then what, what madness

are you talking about?

No doubt will be behind the bars!

Is this money not for you

to roam around and freak out!

Get our money back!

Don't take the

measurement of my neck!

The money which is given,

can't be taken back!

I've not cheated anybody...

...morning I told, there is risk,

and it is doubling case and all.

Here comes police...

...then what did Mammotty do?

What a great comedy it was!

Buddy!

Then what should I do?

What are you guys saying?

We want our money back!

Again and again,

repeating the same thing!

Those guys cleaning the vessels, at

least they have ten stabbing cases!

I'm going, hear that!

Who are you, hey catch him!

Come! He harassed me! Catch him!

Leave me!

Korah!

Go man!

Come fast, fast, my money, you pariahs!

Korah!

Leave!

Time up, don't beat!

You should have gone with that money,

and then you might have taken me.

No, you, should have gone!

Is it not that? You dog, I told

thousand times, that I will go, I will go!

If it is college,

then carry on with college!

Buddy! There is one more possibility

of getting the original notes!

Can you give kidneys!

My Mother!

Uncle! The bus, via Allocious College!

Don't you know to

read Malayalam, is it not?

I will get the vehicle to

the show room by evening.

Let this, week's episode

go on like this.

Then tell the producer, if there is

shoot, prior notice must be given.

Fine!

Where to?

- Allocious College. Appa...Cious!

I'm not heading that way!

Appa...Applied Science!

Pop in, I'll drop!

Have heard a lot!

When and where?

Yesterday from the toilet!

I'm Madhu Mitha.

Madhu Mathi, nice name!

Yea, Madhu Vidhu (Honey moon)

No, Madhi Muddu!

Enough of it!

Looks like, this gentleman has not

done over with that trouble so far!

Are you really from States?

Is it any kind of built up!

We've got passport and all!

I have believed

then how come here!

Story means is there stunt,

chase villain, things like that.

Everything is there!

Is it so? - Yes.

- Then don't tell, will be bored!

Okay, everything is acknowledged!

Hey you! Get out of my car!

Did you get scared?

Sister was just conning!

Are you studying here?

Why, why not? Do we have

to change that, can change!

We are now learning

about money exchange.

But now I'm going to tell

about yet another exchange.

A cultural exchange,

an lndo - American partnership.

Two Malayalee's who are not Indians,

from now on, they are with us.

We learn from them and

they learn from us, lot of things.

Friends! Our friend Meena

Ramachandran, who had secured...

...a merit seat for MBA, had

attempted for a suicide as you know.

Meena had done that on

account of, rising college fees...

...which is hiked with whims and fancies.

She had escaped just because of luck.

Today she is at the hospital bed.

Our campus life

will be complete only...

...when we study with

the energetic persons like her.

This is not a so called strike,

be human...

...since it is our responsibility

that Meena must study with us...

...today we are

boycotting today's class.

To whom did you ask to stop the class?

Who gave you permission for that?

Sir, it was on

account of increasing the fees.

Is it written anywhere, she

consumed poison on account of that!

May be some love affair,

or some kind of pregnancy.

For these issues, the class

cannot be discontinued.

Had invested two crores

to construct the auditorium.

I'm the one who is

answerable to the Father.

Then, somehow managed

the TV and news personals.

Those students were told to come.

Oh! Leaders.

So remember what have told,

classes must go on.

I don't want to listen to any excuses.

Is that enough!

Sir, only you have to tell,

what the management stand is?

Meena Ramachandran

had not died, had survived...

...and for attempting suicide there

must be some personal matters.

What can college

management do on that?

Every person is attempting to suicide,

based on personal problems.

Here, everyone knows

what Meena's problem is.

Is there any problems that

cannot be resolved on talking?

Management, will never trouble you.

Sir, hard to believe!

I will take up the expense of Meena

Ramachandran on carrying on...

...with her studies and

also her hospital expenses.

Our party will take up the matter.

See, we do not intend to take up

this as, bracketed as, a party issue.

Can you give any

assurance for preventing...

...rocketing increase of college fees?

Are you doing some kind

of car shows on TV, is it not?

Dear, you might be the one,

who had informed the channels.

I had submerged that!

Let us know what you have

decided. Only when it is positive.

We must not fall prey to girl's apple.

Apple?

Even Adam fell prey to apple.

From that day the problems had started,

you must control on seeing girl's apple!

What did I do for that?

When that girl was

preaching something...

...why did you make, 'the eyes as bulb'

and leave the place like that and go?

Then, what?

Must we, be alone in the class?

If there is no attendance, the cash will
