Don't get me talking!

Nice fingers!

They'll look great with nail paint.

Team DrC

Get me some expensive churidars.

How old is the girl, Sir?

Around 20..

Not very thin..

She has a good body..

Get some undergarments as well.

The flowery type.

There you go!

Why? Nobody wears them or what?

Not that.. What's her size?

Your size would be fine!

These are churidars.

Keep it!

Take it!

Here!

Where's Dasa Pappi?

l don't know! He went

to buy something!

l bought some beef & vegetables.

You have a gas stove &

dishes in the jeep, right?

Don't say 'beef so loudly!

Nair,

- Yes!

Get me the stuff to

cool down my engine!

Here you go!

Dear,

the mountain pass starts here.

lt's really scenic out there.

Don'tjust sit there bowing down.

Check out the view!

Right, Pillai?

Pillai,

shouldn't we get introduced

to this girl officially?

Hey! What's your name, dear?.

Tell him your name, dear!

Stop it, Nair.

What happened?

Are you shy?

Then no need!

This is Pillai.

He was in the Gulf.

When the Arab told him he'll get a

salary only if he does some work,

he got upset and came back.

l am Muriyanikkal Kuttiyappan.

We both are really busy people!

We're completely jobless!

You are very beautiful, dear!

Pillai has a daughter like you.

Right, Pillai?

With big, round eyes..

Tell me your name!

At home, we call her..

Stop it, Nair!

lf she's shy to tell

her name, it's fine!

Dear,

l'm going to call you 'Leela'.

Leela!

Hey?

Will you finish cooking

anytime today?

Nair,

when she cooks beef, will it

turn out to be something else?

She has been cooking at

home for the past 10 years.

My wife is bedridden.

Dasa Pappi,

- Yes!

l'm starving!

Get something for me.

Beef & rice are ready.

One minute!

Does your wife know

about 'that' incident?

Well..

She was the one who suggested

an abortion for her.

Team DrC

Enough.

Hold it!

- Come!!

Keep it here.

lt's really hot!

Hold that side.

Now let me have a drink!

What are you looking at?

Forthe first time l'm seeing

you eat with all your heart!

So l was just watching that!

l poured a little extra.

Leela,

the curry was really nice.

l got reminded of my mother!

'What is it that l see in pitch

black colour, oh mother?'

'Haven't you seen it?

That's an elephant, my child!'

'What is an elephant, mother?

lt is an animal, my child!'

Who is it?

ls it Thoma?

Yes!

l wanted to attend your funeral.

But l couldn't make it.

Who's there to take me along!

Next time l die, please do come!

l will come here and

take you myself!

Who is it?

Kuttiyappan?

Yes!

Come!

Wait here, Pillai!

'What is an elephant, mother?

lt is an animal, my child!'

'lt is the biggest among all

the animals, my child!'

l don't usually give my elephant

for such dirty jobs.

What's the money like?

The full amount you asked for.

Come to the plantation after

10PM in the night.

Greetings!

Team DrC

By the way,

l haven't told her

about the 'programme' yet.

Will she create a ruckus?

lf something like

that does happen,

just give a tight

slap on her face.

She'll be quiet after that.

Hey!

How long have you been in there?

Come out!

And yea,

we haven't talked about

the money yet!

My dear Nair,

you'll have to stitch 2 more pockets to

keep the money he's going to give you!

Okay then. Let me go there.

Don'tjust stand there.

Get ready, dear!

What are you looking at?

Have a drink!

What's the situation?

She just had bath.

Pillai,

look at me!

How's it?

Do l look good?

Open your mouth & say something!

- Yea! You look good!

l should be blamed for asking

his opinion! ls it OK?

Really simple & handsome.

You look like a bridegroom!

Yea right! Bridegroom!

Pour a drink!

Pillai,

shall we go out?

- What about the 'programme'?

ln this filthy room?

Pillai, all that needs a good ambience.

This place isn't any good!

Then Kottayam was fine, right?

What's there in Kottayam?

lt should be cold, right?

Oh okay!

- Dasa Pappi,

give Thankappan Nair how

much ever he asks for.

lt'll be in my trunk. Give it to him.

- Ok.

Then, l'll go,

meet the girl and

come back with her.

Until then, you sit here

and have a drink, Pillai.

Got it?

Dasa Pappi,

- Yes!

These dirty 'programmes'..

l hate them!

You can get rid of that!!

For people of your age,

'Velvet bean kernel' will

be the best solution!

Get lost, you bloody basrd!

Sir..

You didn't put on any

talc after bath?

l like 'Cuticura' talc.

l used to use that as a kid.

l used to keep it inside my

notebook when l went to school.

To turn fair..

But l didn't turn fair.

You are so fair, Leela!

My father was really fair.

l look like my mother.

- Oh!

Brother, shall we go out

and come back?

Why not?

Of course!

Shall we leave then?

Didn't you hear him?

Go with him, dear.

Wayanad's cold climate

is really great!

Don'tjust stand there.

Come!

l'll show you wild rabbits.

Go, dear.

Bloody bih!

What is this, Nair?

Go with him!

Come, dear.

Fk!

Team DrC

Get down, dear.

Come.

Are you feeling cold?

You should come here when

the coffee plant blooms.

There'll be white flowers all over.

lt smells so great!

l will bring you once.

This Pillai needn't be there then.

Just both of us!

What say?

Team DrC

Hey, it's me!

Where's our daughter?

She went to her friend's house.

Alone?

No!

With all the townsmen!

You shouldn't have

let her gone alone.

lf you're done buying your

elephant, can't you come back?

How come this sudden

concern about your family?

Which friend's house?

Come!

There!

Over there.

Don't be scared.

He's the friendly type.

When you're done with it,

come home.

l'll be there.

- Okay.

Kuttiyappan,

What is it, Pillai?

Are you scared?

Yes!

Scared of me or the elephant?

- Both!

What are you upto?

l'm going to go near

the elephant with her.

Why?

A few days back, during dawn,

l dreamt of making love to a girl by

making her lean on an elephant's trunk!

lt has been my desire since then..

What madness are

you saying!

Nothing, man!

lnstead of lying down,

l'll make her stand.

And instead of the wall,

an elephant's trunk.

And the elephant wouldn't even

feel a thing if she leans on him!

Got it?

You won't!

Leela,

come!

Go lean on its trunk.

You can trust that animal

more than your father.

Go!

Team DrC

Pillai,

it was my wedding

that just happened.

And you are the witness.

l'm going to take her home.

Come!

The elephant!

There!

Kuttiyappan, don't go!

- Leave me!

Listen to me!

Leave me, Pillai!

Leave me!

No, Kuttiyappan!

Listen to me, Kuttiyappan!

Leave me!

'Leela'

Vivek Ranjit.
