Mother, here's milk.

Has Madhavan taken his bath,

daughter? - Yes.

Please get me the sugar.

Coffee is ready.

There is no place in this kitchen

- When are we going to shift?

This is a town, don't you know, we're

paying Rs 250 just for this place.

Five houses share one toilet.

Why should we pay Rs 250 for such a

house where there're no facilities?

I am not happy to give it.

The owner grabs it from me.

Hey, Lathika...

Yes, brother.

Use the bathroom only after the men

finish their bath.

All of them are flirts.

Oh God! I am in trouble

- what is the matter, son?

Mr. Govindakutty's son Sethu is standing

there. - Really, call him inside.

Mother, go inside, don't create

unnecessarily trouble.

Wasn't he your classmate?

Haven't you eaten many times

at his house?

Call him inside, son.

Don't make me mad, show all your

love & affection at our native place.

He is jobless now, he

will be a burden on us.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Oh! Who's it? It's a long time

since I had seen you

There isn't a day left, without

thinking of you, my friend.

How are you mother?

- I am okay son.

You seem to be tired.

- There was no rest.

You've grown up well, Lathika.

We wanted to see you

when your father died.

But he didn't get leave.

Those wonderful days, when we

studied in the school together...

Come to my office, I've

so much to talk.

What about tea for Sethu?

- We'll have it on the way.

I am coming from Bombay by train

in unreserved compartment.

I sat in the toilet and

travelled.

I am tried, I need a bath

and a good sleep.

You carry on, we'll meet in

the evening.

Madhavan, you carry on,

let Sethu sleep here.

If I wake up before you come back,

I'll meet you at your office.

Where is your office?

It is in Gandhi Nagar.

GANDHI NAGAR, II ND STREET.

How could I see? She says she had

seen only his two hands.

Will anybody sleep with the

windows open?

Henceforth be careful.

Here comes the people.

Is he the one?

Is he the only police in

the station?

Isn't the S. I at the station?

- Yes, so what?

I had asked him to come

here, isn't it?

Are you the one who

has employed him?

What is the problem here?

Can't we live peacefully here?

Last Wednesday, a thief entered the

engineer's house through the roof.

Finally neighbours chased him.

Unfortunately, I happen to be the

secretary of Gandhi Nagar.

Last night, the same thief tried to

snatch this girl's chain.

How do you know, he was the

same thief?

I guessed it - No, let the

police guess.

What happened when you guessed

last time?

We've started short listing a few

- you've just started?

If you are so slow in your work

I'll have to call the Home minister.

Forget that, which house was burgled?

- My house.

Are they no men here?

No only my kid's father

is there.

Isn't he a man?

That is...

Why do women behave like this?

Move aside.

Stay here, I will go inside

and talk.

Get out, don't think that you can

threaten me with your power & position.

Remove your uniform and come to me

as an ordinary man.

Then, we shall talk.

Anyway, I'll make you talk.

At what time did the incident

take place?

I am warning you for the

last time.

If your intention is to fight with me,

then I am also ready.

I don't have to look

back now.

I'll break your legs,

gorge your eyes out,

And I'll cut out your tongue.

Come, I said come here.

You don't know about me.

- What?

I'm really bad.

Is that bald man mad? - What?

I'll put him behind bars

and set him right.

Is Kutty Kuruppa writing

something?

From morning, there's some noise

from his room.

He is writing a detective novel

for some new readers.

Then, why do you need police?

Let him investigate.

Why is the police and the

military here?

No military, only

police is here.

Who is he? He looks notorious.

Were you the one who attacked

this girl last night?

Talk decently - I'm a

police constable.

Oh, I didn't know that. In that case

you can talk as much as you want.

What happened? Are people not scared

of police as before.

I am asking, why the police department

isn't concerned with our colony?

For that, shouldn't something

happen here?

Either an arms duel or a

beautiful murder, try it once.

Stop there.

Are you a resident of this colony?

- Yes.

I suspect everyone.

Didn't you attempt to snatch

this girl's chain?

It is better to tell

the truth.

Sister, please move, I'll

come tomorrow.

Last night also we heard

him yelling.

He was shouting at my husband

for being a bad writer.

It seems, he's the college

professor.

I pity the students who are taught

by this drunken professor.

Whatever it is, he is the only

good person in this colony.

I'll call the Home Minister

- That's better.

My husband has come.

Come.

Again they've charged me Rs 5,000

per lorry.

Might is right.

They're doing as they please.

How many loads were there?

- Ten, get me some ice water.

I've lost Rs 50,000

at one shot.

Did the problem get solved

by that?

When we reached Perundhalmanna, special

squads were standing there.

It was 2 O'clock in the night, they

were waiting without sleep,

To take bribe.

Inspite of taking Rs.10,000 as bribe

they're saying,

Boss, the material is spirit,

Problem will arise if you don't supply

to the allotted shops.

What will I do?

They won't let poor employers live.

We need a strong political

party's support.

Is it not for that I am working hard?

This time the corporation...

Shut up, you and your corporation.

First corporation, then assembly...

Okay, you make some tea.

Where is Tommy?

He's studying on

the terrace.

If we stand on both sides of the river,

how can we fulfill our desires?

Either the male bird goes that side

or the female comes this side...

Enough, there is progress, atleast

there was a reaction.

I thought of telling the constable.

- What?

Don't pretend to be a saint.

What was your intention?

What are you talking?

- Don't lie.

Why did you catch me through

the window?

I didn't catch anybody.

When I wanted to wake you up

and tell you something...

Do you have to tell it

only at midnight?

True love has no time

and place.

I...

I wanted to come to your school

- Anything special?

No, just to see the school.

There's nothing much for

you to see.

All the girls are of this size.

See you.

What's the matter, sir?

I'm unable to concentrate.

There's a problem at home.

I am going.

Lock the office and keep the

key with you.

When Nirmala teacher returns from

school, collect her passport for renewal.

Okay sir.

Hey, hey, wait.

If you don't vacate by this month,

I'll stop writing novels.

Lucky readers. I won't vacate.

I am stopping my writing, only to

quit you from this place.

I'll sue you. Will anyone come, if

you've such a big board in a small place.

Let me write to the

central office.

I am not bothered about it.

Look here, I'll spend the cost of

one novel to throw you out.

See you.

Are you preparing a feast to make him

stay here forever?
