Take it off!

- l'll come back soon!

Where are you off to?

Go that side!

Sir, Sir!!

Kuttiyappan Sir!

Please stop!

Come! l'll pull over.

What is it, Usha?

There's a girl in that auto rickshaw.

Check her out!

How tall is she?

All good! Go see for yourself!

Come!

How is she, Sir?.

This won't work out, Usha.

Why? What happend?

l said it won't work out.

Period!

Here you go!

Buy something for her.

Go!

Oh! You got out?

Don't pull your

dirty tricks on me!

What?

Didn't you say we were

going to buy an elephant?

Get in!

Pillai,

if we go for a wedding, do we just

meet the bride & groom alone?

Won't we meet the priest

and other people too?

Got it?

Got it!

Then what?

Nothing!

- Then get in!

Pillai,

- Yes!

How's Usha in a saree?

Very glamourous!

Pillai, have you met

'Elephant' Soman Nair?

No!

You haven't met

anyone worthwhile?

No!

Do you know who

'Elephant' Soman Nair is?

Who is he?

He has won the 'Royal elephant

master' title thrice!

Do you know that?

Once he opens his mouth,

only Sanskrit comes out..

Why?

He's a Sanskrit scholar!

The Centre said that they can't honour

2 elephant owners in the same year.

Or else he would've won

the Padma Shri this year!

So sad!

Check out the elephant!

My God!

By the way,

if he asks you to stay

for lunch, say no.

Why?

On the way back, there's a toddy shop

which serves amazing fish.

Oh Pillai!

What?

- Nothing!

Who is it?

We've come to meet Sir.

Pillai,

how's this guy?

Not bad!

And that guy?

He's also not bad!

But still you can't

say he's good!

He's good!

Hey!

Don't introduce me to him!

Why? - Padmini's

relatives stay closeby.

My dear Pillai!

What happened?

Nothing!

Where have you come from?

- From Kudamaaloor.

There's some cash in the

jeep's dashboard. Bring it.

Please sit down!

Team DrC

Get up!

l said get up!

Bloody bd!

How dare you speak

such nonsense to me?

Soman Sir,

please co-operate!

You'll get the Padma Shri!

- Get up!

l won't let anything

happen to the elephant.

Please trust me!

- Get out!

l said, get out!

Get out, l say!

l'm going! One minute!

Let me wear my sandals.

Sister, l'm leaving!

What happened?

- Get in!

You Soman!!

Why does he need the elephant?

To get his mother married

to the elephant!

Let me see how you'll

get the Padma Shri!

What happened?

Nothing!

When l talked about elephants &

'Mathanga Leela', he didn't like it!

And then when l recited some Shlokas

in Sanskrit, he started abusing me!

Uncultured fellow!

Scoundrel! Won't

even co-operate!

Just that he owns elephants..

He's actually a loser!

Kuttiyappan Sir?

He's not available on the phone.

He played a round here and left for

Mathen's funeral in Edappalli.

lt's just one furlong after

Kuttampuram Toddy Shop.

Team DrC

Stop here!

Okay then! l'll call you!

- Okay!

Pillai,

where's Kuttiyappan Sir?.

There he goes!

Kuttiyappan Sir,

Come here!

l'll get the photos of a girl

from Kollam on my WhatsApp today!

Today? - Yes!

- Then come!

Son, please hold this!

Someone better has died!

That's why!

Who died?

- Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Really?

- What happened?

ls he from Pala?

- Okay then, Mathen!

Not from Pala! From Patiala!

What all do you want to know!

Once l attend a funeral,

l have to purify myself!

That's a must!

For that, Kuttampuram is the best place!

- Of course!

Toddy Shop,

Kuttampuram.

l always used to tell Mathen,

to drink how much ever he wanted.

But not to eat so much!

And finally, what happened?

Huh?

You haven't left yet?

Please stop when you see a shop.

Go buy whatever you want!

So hot!

One pack of Dinesh

Beedi and a matchbox!

'Dinesh' is the best

solution for this heat!

Dasa Pappi,

next we have to

arrange a male elephant.

Male elephant?

- Yes!

But how do l...

l know that you're

interested only in females!

Pillai,

will we have to go to Bihar?.

We'll try our luck in

Chambakkara as well!

What's there in Chambakkara?

Going for a massage?

We need an elephant!

ls it for a procession?

Not for a procession!

Just to make him stand

still for a while!

Then go to Mannarkkad. - What's there?

A fantastic elephant

has landed there.

Our Rama Panicker saw him and

said that he looks really grand!

Which Rama Panicker?

Ettumanoor Neelakandan's

(elephant) first mahout!

His house is just

around the corner.

My dear brother,

Thank you so much!

Come, Pillai!

Where are you off to?

Go that side!

Please sit down.

So you're from Kudamaloor?.

Yes. l am Kuttiyappan!

l'm an elephant lover!

This is Dasa Pappi.

He's a car broker!

That's Pillai.

He's a flute artist!

Dasa Pappi,

keep it there!

Kuttampuram!

- Yes!

He made this specially for you

when l mentioned your name!

He's an apprentice of mine!

Give him the betel leaves

& tobacco (dakshina)!

Bless me!

All my wishes!

You used to bring Neelakandan to

Karikulangara & Vasudevapuram, right?

Yes!

l was a kid back then.

You had given me the

elephant's tail back then.

l have given it to many.

But l can't remember yourface!

l was kid, right?

Now l've become big!

So where are you in Kudamaloor?

Muriyanikkal!

Muriyanikkal Judge Sir's?

His lone child!

But he hasn't got

judge sir's glamour!

l didn't get his glamour,

or his good character!

Hey you, bring

three-four glasses!

Okay!

Why have you come here, son?

l'll tell you all that!

First you have a round!

Ah! The glasses are here.

- Give them to me!

Do you want some curry

along with this?

That will be great!

She's my wife, not my daughter!

Have this!

Everyone keeps asking

if she's my daughter.

So l told you beforehand

before you people ask me.

A really graceful girl!

There was another girl who

was much more graceful!

While l was taking care of

the elephant all the time,

l forgot the fact that there

was such a girl back home!

And that graceful girl

eloped with some guy!

And then when l fell sick,

l married this one.

There should be someone to take

care of me in this old age, right?

My dear Panicker!

- What's it, son?

My case is also similar.

My wife also eloped

with someone!

With whom?

With a filmstar!

She was also really graceful!

And then, l married another one.

She also ran away!

- Gosh!

Cheers!

- So be it!

How did that happen, son?

What do l say!

Lady luck neverfavoured me!

You should know the weak spot of

an elephant as well as a woman!

Or else, things will

go out of hand!

The curry hasn't come?

She'll come soon!

Panicker,

l'll get into the matter.

Are you going?

No! This is the problem!

Even if l have just one glass, l

have this urge to pee!

That's okay, brother!

Even l have that urge!

- Then come!

Where?

- Here!

l can't even try holding it back.

What's the point in holding it back?

Sit!

Here!

Nice pickle!

You don't come to Kottayam?

He is really strict!

He won't let me go anywhere!

lf you come there, l'll be
