Come outside

What's going on?

Why did you destroy their homes?

Destroyed homes?

-You don't know anything?

They've been paid

whateverthey asked for!

Why are you getting involved in such matters?

-l should get involved, right?

You are my grandson!

You destroyed the houses of

our elders and relatives...

These elders don't pay my bills!

My strength and my courage

is what's providing for me

What livelihood have you elders taught us?

Working in the fields?

Look at the fields now!

You know what's going to grow here now-

-not rice or paddy, but

flats and factories!

Times have changed...

Don't ever get the old man

involved in such things!

l don't care about any relativess

Come with me

What's wrong with him?

l know you give money to your mother.

That helps with rent and expenses.

But think about how you make this money

-What's happening? Everyone's here...

What happened?

He's been sitting here since noon...

He hasn't even had a drop of water...

He isn't listening to any of us!

Get up...

Grandpa,

Everyone is going their own way...

We couldn't teach them

a useful livelihood...

l'm not moving from here...

The kids might have

said something stupid

Why are you bothering

yourself with it?

Grandpa,

How long are you

going to sit here?

Get up, let's eat something.

Grandpa,

Grandpa, Get up.

Did you see him?

Want to see?

What's Anto and Shaji doing?

They are doing okay

Anto is running Karate

classes in Pulleppady

Shaji works with the Kadavantara Union

What about Ganga?

He's a nut-case!

l don't entertain such cases anymore!

He had called me twice

For what?

Said somebody was after him

l didn't understand half

the things he said

Forget about him, man

You can't believe a word he says. Pest!

lt's not like that Majeed...

He's in some real trouble!

l had gone to his house

They have no news about him

forthe past 3-4 days

l have a bad feeling about it...

He had been here on

the wedding eve

He was pissed- drunk!

And he put on a big show!

Are all those throats l cut,

Mine O dear father?

All the throats and hearts you cut

Are everyone's my dear son.

Aren't the blood and juices l drank

Honey, my good father?

Aren't the blood and juices l drank

Honey, my good father?

Where has the Pokkali-land

Where has the Pokkali-land

We reclaimed, gone, my dear father?

lt has been cooked, along with

The hot rice you scooped up, my dear son.

That mighty mountain we see

That mighty mountain we see

ls not ours, my good son.

These backwater deeps and shores

Are nobody's, my dear son.

The worms, leopards, insects, eagles

Sea-elephants, jungle's creatures

The worms, leopards, insects, eagles

Sea-elephants, jungle's creatures

Deities of different times,

And we,

the dwellers of paddy lands,

Live together here in this hellish place

The earth, my auspicious son

This place dies in conflicts

This world, my auspicious son!

Majeed, l'll come

l'll come

That mighty mountain we see

ls not ours, my good son.

These backwater deeps and shores

Are nobody's, my dear son.

There was another song like

that..What's the rest of it?

And then l'm knee deep in mud

Please wait a little my sisters

And then there's mud up to my breasts

Let me say goodbye to my husband

And then there's mud up to my neck

And then mud covers my hair

We haven't been unfairto anyone

We haven't been unfairto anyone

Boss, big buildings have

cropped up on the plots

that we've acquired for cheap

Do you know what happened to

the people who lived there?

They were living comfortably in their homes,

now they are on the streets!

My grandfather died of the

pain because of all this!

This can't happen again

Nobody should buy or sell land anymore

Take is easy Balan

l haven't heard of the things you said

Our company has a lot of partners now

l'm not the one behind the

project in Panampilly nagar,

The other partners are managing it

Whatever you say, l can't get involved in this

lt's not like before,Now

Boss, you know me very well...

Tell your parnters that l won't allow,

this business of threatening

people for their land...

Bye boss...

Bye Mathai

Team DrC

Boss Surendran is not like before...

He's running a business worth crores

He wouldn't have the time to

sort out our silly problems

Balan Chetta, Why can't we quit

this and do something else?

Quit what?

What's wrong with what we do?

You don't get it you fool!

Times are changing...

l say, we buy a vehicle and

start a for-hire business!

You have a lot of friends right?

We'll get rides...

Don't be stupid Krishna!

We are very powerful in

Ernakulam City today!

We won't even make money fortea,

if we try to go legit by running a taxi service!

Stop it Ganga! You never

agree with anything!

You are right, Krishna...

l also thinking about it

We'll buy a vehicle.You

know Porinju Baiju, right?

He has a vehicle for sale.

-He has a Traveller

Enquire about it and fix a price.

We'll buy it...

Venu can drive the truck,

And you can drive the Traveller.

car, l'll drive this

Then what the hell will l do?

You can take care of the accounts...

Oh sh*t...Are you sick?

You come home whenever you want!

l don't know if you'll even come back...

You have all your needs taken care of, right?

Don't interfere in my business!

Yeah right! My needs

are taken care...

You only come home whenever you want

to take care of your needs!

l can't do that!

lf someone sticks a knife into your

guts,l'll be on the streets, alone!

You don't have to worry about anything now

We have decided to change our ways

We are going to start a business of

running vehicles for hire...

Yes, we are going to start a 'travels'.

or we may end up with a lemon!
