Ambu..

Hey, Ambu.

Ambu!

Oh, I am tired of this fellow.

Don't you have anything

else to do?

There is no point in calling him.

He's our son after all,

isn't he?

He won't wake up

until he feels like getting up.

By then, lunch will be ready.

Right.

You are the one who pampered

and spoiled him.

It's a Sunday.

Let him sleep.

'Smoking is injurious to health.'

Idiot.

Mom!

She won't let me sleep

a little more on a Sunday.

Red salute, comrade.

- Red salute. - How are you?

Go. - Shall we.. - Yes, go on..

He hasn't woken up.

It's okay.

I will call him. - Whom?

TIMEIN:
00:03:01:92DURATION: 01:04TIMEOUT: 00:03:02:96

He isn't picking up.

Let's see.

- Look at him sleeping.

Pandi, you scoundrel.

- How dare you hang up on me?

Get up!

What? - Get up! - Everyone's here.

- What are you smiling at?

Do you know what time it is?

- Get up now.

Come on, man.

He is such a lazy guy.

We will go there later.

- Go

Why in the morning?

- Brush your teeth.

Enough for now.

Go..

Does it have enough sugar?

- It's good.

Won't you ride the bike?

- You are riding it.

What is it, man?

Go on.

Hurry up.

Oh, God.

- I am leaving, Mom.

Move your leg.

- Okay.

What is it?

- Where is my grey tee?

It would be there.

Look properly.

I can't find it.

Then it must be on the chair.

On the chair?

Don't you know that college

reopens today?

TIMEIN:
00:07:59:96DURATION: 01:16TIMEOUT: 00:08:01:12

I want to fuel my bike.

To fuel your bike?

- Yes.

I won't give you anything.

- What?

You may go on a bus

if there is no fuel in your bike.

When I was your age, I used to go

to college on a bus..

Do you know that?

Those days..

- Don't start.

It's okay if you don't

give me Rs. 100.

But I don't want to listen

to this story of yours.

Red salute.

- Oh, whatever. - Correct.

Buy a kilo of chicken

on the way back. - Grandma!

You look busy.

- Here.

You dad shouldn't know about it.

- Grandma.

A grandma like you

is everyone's dream.

I will go then.

- Don't say so.

'I will be back', right?

I will be back then.

What is wrong with it?

Mom, I'm leaving.

Let me just shake him up.

TIMEIN:

What?

- Nothing.

There will be buses.

You can take it.

Yes, tell me.

Hey, where are you?

- I am still at home.

At home?

What are you doing there?

Hurry up.

Freshers will come today.

We must get there on time.

- There is no fuel in my bike.

Do one thing.

Get some petrol in a bottle.

I will do one thing then.

I will go with Buck.

Fuel your bike

and come whenever you please.

Okay?

- Hey.

Pandi, you rascal.

Chakrapani, I heard that Vinod

has come back from Saudi Arabia.

Yes, he's back. - I heard that

he isn't going back.

Yes, he isn't.

- Why?

It's a mess back there.

- Really?

Terrorism, bombs, guns..

It's a mess.

There was a recent explosion.

- What?

A bomb.

TIMEIN:
00:09:59:08DURATION: 01:16TIMEOUT: 00:10:00:24

A bomb.

On top of everything,

they introduced Nitaqat.

What is it?

- Nitaqat.

It facilitates employment

only for their citizens.

Oh, I see.

As soon as it was introduced,

he abandoned everything.

He is planning to start

a new business here.

Whatever it is, his return is going

to affect Chakrapani.

How will it affect me?

His house, of which you were

the caretaker..

You used to rent it for birthday

and bachelor parties.

It was your golden goose.

Remember?

Now it's all gone.

Hey, cut it out.

Don't laugh.

Koya, tell me.

If Mr. Vinod starts a business

who will be his go-to man?

It would be you.

- Right?

Did you hear him?

- Yes.

The wanderer is here.

Shut up.

Muthappan will thrash you.

Get a plantain leaf for him.

What about my role?

- Yes.

TIMEIN:
00:10:59:48DURATION: 01:96TIMEOUT: 00:11:01:44

What about my role?

- Yes.

Don't give my role to anyone else.

I am building my body for it.

Don't forget.

I am beefing it up.

'A squad to catch beggars.'

'Prohibition of beggars

is on the cards.'

'Those who break the law

and continue to beg'

'will be arrested by

the newly-formed squad.'

Koya, there won't be any beggars

left in this place.

All of them will be screwed.

Muthappan, stop wandering

and get away from this place.

Or else, something terrible

will happen.

It's hot!

Get lost, you madman!

Such a crazy guy.

- You got what you asked for.

Didn't I ask you to shut up?

- Koya!

Aren't you happy now?

What happened, Koya?

What was the ruckus all about?

It was Chakrapani.

The guy doesn't know when to stop.

Anyway, what do you want?

- A cup of tea. - Sure.

Muthappan,

I hope you are doing great.

Oh, it's Idli again.

This is enough.

You may eat.

Oh, the outsiders are here.

- Haven't seen you in a while.

Where were you?

- We had gone to Cochin.

Why?

What is it, Jolly?

- Eat slowly.

The 'Puttu' you are eating

might get stuck in your throat.

We went to narrate the script.

- Oh, I see.

Did you narrate it?

- No.

We roamed around Cochin

till we went broke.

That's all. - Here.

- Getting into movies is tough.

Isn't it, Mr. Raju?

Yes, you are right.

- Everything will fall into place.

Your names would adorn

the silver screen very soon.

Thanks.

Do you want anything else?

- Some more 'Puttu'. - No.

Ambu, are you going to college?

- Yes.

Where is your bike?

- It was out of fuel.

I thought I would go

on the bus today.

Would 'Taj Mahal' arrive anytime

soon? - Yes, it will be here soon.
