no Police will register a case.

Such are the advantages of

keeping a Gurkha.

Who says so?

Have you heard about the valiant knife

of the Gurkha? - No.

Once Gurkha draws his knife, he'll not

put it back till it tastes blood.

That was the past. There are no

such Gurkhas now.

Let us wait and see. Anyway we are

going to advertise.

No need of a Gurkha, sister.

Nothing doing, we need

a Gurkha.

Even if I get caught, it is

not a criminal offence.

To survive, I've to lie & it won't be

the first time either...

...Any court with a conscience

cannot punish me.

If I need to be a Gurkha,

so be it.

You would have picked up some Hindi

in Bombay, right?

Not a problem.

Actually, it is a problem.

No, it is not a problem.

I believe, Gurkha can escape a murder.

There won't be any police case.

Will they make me

kill anybody?

If you come across such a

situation, you can run away.

Kill and run?

Run without killing.

You know, they say, when a Gurkha

draws his knife,

He will keep it back only after

it sees blood.

So under any circumstances

never draw your knife.

When they see me...

You look just like a Gurkha. You

should impress them at the first sight,

With a Khakhi uniform, belt, cap &

this knife with your smartness.

What's the problem there?

What's it?

Is he mad?

He is in Khakhi uniform.

Is he a policeman who has

gone mad?

Look, come here - what?

Come, here.

Oh my God.

You had advertised in the

paper, isn't it?

Looks like he is a Gurkha.

Oh God! Has the Gurkha arrived

here, so fast?

Sister, he's Gurkha.

My God, he's Gurkha!

- My God!

Hey Gurkha, are you the Gurkha?

I am the Gurkha, Ya...

Enough, stop your gimmicks,

please move.

Brothers and sisters.

I read in the paper that a colony

needs a Gurkha, so I've come.

What? - Nobody understands Hindi.

You people wouldn't have understood

what he said, isn't it?

He has come in response to

the Ad. For Gurkha.

He doesn't look like

a Gurkha.

I am telling the truth

- Be quiet.

I came to Kerala 20 years ago.

So I don't look like a Gurkha.

Actually I am a Gurkha.

I learnt Malayalam in these 20 years

- Stop... Stop...

He's a Gurkha, what's your name?

Ramsingh, son of Bhimsingh.

As I'm the secretary of this colony,

I have some questions to ask.

Ask me. - Are you ready to

work 24 hours a day?

Yes, madam - Are you brave enough

to catch any thief?

How dare you doubt

my bravery?

It is nothing, he says never to

question a Gurkha's bravery.

Don't ask for trouble, mother.

- Get lost.

What trouble? A Gurkha is an

absolute necessity here.

Gurkha, you must catch the thief soon

and hand him over to us.

Okay.

Madam, I need a house for a duty of

24 hours. House... house.

He wants to know where he will

stay as he is on duty for 24 hours.

He is not even selected.

What more is there

to select?

He is enough... he's healthy,

has a knife.

Didn't we see the gimmicks of

a Gurkha?

Let us select him

- Stop.

During day, you've to buy the needs

of the residents who ask for.

Okay - Look here, no sleeping

at night.

You shouldn't sleep...

Then, there is a tent, we used

for our tour, isn't it?

We'll give that to him.

You can fix it up there

and stay in it.

Don't utter a word.

Dear friends... what's

your name?

I here by appoint Ramsingh as our

official watchman of our colony.

Ask him to show us

his knife.

You ask him.

Can't take the knife out

- Why?

It's because, once the knife is out

it should see blood.

My God, then, no need.

Come let's go - What?

That time Annamma was alone

at home.

She thought Gopi would

come this way, then...

When she thought of him, she

was thrilled.

It seems God heard

her prayers.

With a dashing smile, he was

standing at the door.

Annamma was standing alone there.

Slowly Gopi went

close to her.

She asked him "why are you

staring at me"?

Gopi pulled her to him as if he

was seeing her for the first time.

She didn't resist.

After waiting for long

- what's that?

Show it to me, I'll

break your legs.

Show it to me.

I've told you not to

read his writings.

There's lot of work in the kitchen.

Go there.

Go there.

I'm going to hit you.

There is no peace of mind with

these two girls around.

Useless girls.

Is Kuttychan sir there?

- Let me tell you one thing.

You have to collect his

writings frequently.

There are two grown

up girls here.

Have you come early?

- Yes.

If you write anything,

before your bath,

Keep them in the box. Take.

Here, there's no peace

of mind.

Please give it to me, sir.

I need to compose it soon.

This is Manjani Kombu. I'll give you

the story for your magazine right now.

Don't delay - No only

5 minutes.

Please sit. Is it not the

8th chapter? - Yes

Okay, what is the hero's name?

Heroine is Clara.

Okay! Sit down. I'll get it

right away.

Brother.

What is all this?

It's my fate.

I can't understand how these useless

people lived here before I came?

From salt to chicken feed is

in the this sack.

Are you swindling money?

Should I top betrayal

with cheating?

I am an innocent Gurkha

from Nepal.

How are you, sister?

Don't use your Hindi. It's full

of grammatical errors.

But I managed to scrape

through the interview.

She's just round the corner,

go fast.

He is the no.1 flirt of

the colony.

Shall I control him a bit?

No... first earn a good

name here.

Are you familiar with

everybody now?

There is a kinder garden

teacher here, Nirmala.

Do you know her?

Yes, I have some of her

stuff in this bag.

She is a reputed lover. She may come

of use to you.

Oh! I am not that type.

She hails from a

big family.

When she loved an auto mechanic,

her family opposed.

But she chose him ignoring

her family's wealth.

Tell me, how will I be

benefited from her?

To prove to her family, she has

sent her husband to Dubai - Is it?

So apple polish her.

Dubai is your destination, isn't it?

If her husband wishes, I

think you can go to Dubai.

What are her weak points

- What?

Her weak points? Only on knowing her

weak points, I can apple polish her.

Haven't you seen

her child?

Yes - That is her major

weak point.

First, you try to apple polish

the child.

You should be able to make

the child pine for you.

Then, you've won.

You can achieve your goal if you work

out your sentiment by that way.

Then, let me not waste time. I'll try

to develop my sentiments and achieve.

Oh! I have to deliver the groceries

to many places.

Let me go.

I am going,

I am going.

I am going.

Little man, what are

you doing?

Where is Mummy?

Ram singh, you've come early?

I came by cycle.

Thanks a lot, hope I

didn't bother you.

Madam, What are you... Saying?

It is my pleasure to

serve you.

Isn't Hindi your mother tongue?

- Yes.

Then, why are you struggling

with it?

I stammer a bit.

I came to Kerala, when

I was young.

In my childhood... I came

with my parents to Kerala.

Ram singh, wait, I'll

get you some tea.

My son - get lost

- Oh God.
