Why are you scorning?

Aren't you scared?

- I am not, sir.

I didn't commit any crimes.

- Stop!

Why should I be scared when

I've committed no crime! - Wow!

Mr. Kumaran.

He's saying punchlines!

You're indeed brave.

That guy in a tie..

Mr. Kumaran, what's his name?

Vijay Babu.

- Yes, Mr. Vijay Babu.

You followed him

and tried to murder him.

Wasn't that wrong?

- We tried to murder no one.

Vijay Babu was lying.

Did you find weapons

such as chains, hockey sticks,

daggers, pistols

or even a nail cutter on us?

You didn't, did you?

What evidence do you have

to interrogate us?

We're doomed! - He's talking about

interrogation and evidence.

He's using such big words.

- Shut up, you moron!

What should we do, Mr. Kumaran?

- Let's hear their side.

Oh, yes. You are correct.

Okay, go on.

What's the matter?

Actually, we did it for Ambu.

Come on, tell me.

Buddy, I can't stand our MD.

He's sanctioning long leaves

just for women.

What will he get

if he sanctions it for you?

He's there.

- What..

What happened, sir?

- He isn't picking up, sir.

Keep on trying

until he picks up. - Okay.

Ambu. - Sir?

- I have some doubts.

The hero liked the heroine.

But what about the heroine?

Actually..

What are you saying?

Did you forget the last scene?

Listen, the hero professed

his love to the heroine.

After taking a few steps

she turned around and smiled

at the hero, right? - Yes.

That proves heroine's love

I'll try to make it by morning.

Ask him to wait. - Hey, wait! Hey..

What happened?

Mr. Kumaran, try tasting it.

Yes.. You're correct.

There isn't enough onion.

Try adding more onion.

It'll be tasty.

Hey, man with the chain.

Catch it.

What are you doing?

Dice it finely.

Okay? - Okay.

What are you waiting for?

Sir, what's happening here?

What's going on?

Then you must be Vijay Babu.

- Yes, sir.

You seem to be a busy man.

You won't come

to the police station

and you want me to stay back

at the station.

Isn't that right?

- Yes, sir.

I took it to my heart.

Vijay, there's a thin line

separating my two lives.

Vijay, there's a thin line

separating my two lives.

On that side of the line,

I am a good guy.

But on this side,

I am a demon.

Got it? - That was great!

- Sir, what do you want?

These four guys are coming from..

Ko.. - Which is that place?

- Kozhikode. - Yes.

They came from Kozhikode

to tell you something important.

Isn't that right, Pandi?

- It is, sir.

You should give them an ear,

shouldn't you?

Ambu, go and talk things out

with him.

Okay, sir.

Go with him.

- Sir..

Don't hesitate, sir.

Come.

Hey, man with the chain.

- Sir..

What are you staring at?

Dice it. - I will, sir.

What's the matter? - Aren't you

getting engaged next month, man?

Yes, what about it?

- It's not going to happen, man.

Really? Why would that be?

Actually, man..

Isn't your fiancee's name Nidhi?

Yes, it's Nidhi.

Mr. Vinod is Nidhi's father.

Mr. Vinod's best friend,

Mr. Narendran, is Ambu's father.

Don't beat around the bush.

Sir, I love Nidhi.

Oh, Vinod, it's you.

You've brought Chakrapani along.

Please come in.

- No.

You seem to be at unease.

Well, I am at unease. My daughter's

wedding was called off.

Cancelled would be a better word.

Your son, Ambu, and his friends

told the groom's family

that Mr. Vinod's daughter

is in love with him.

They asked them to back out.

There's a limit to everything.

How dare they gamble

Vinod, things have turned out

like this.

Don't worry.

We can think about it and..

- What's there to think about?

I didn't ask your opinion.

Vinod, hear me out.

My son and your daughter.

Isn't it good to be a family?

Your son is a wrong choice

for my daughter.

You're cunning.

What good quality

can your son claim of?

He has a few idiotic friends,

and his ironic name, Ernesto.

He's studying commerce

at an arts college.

Who wants him?

Forget all that. What's his

caste? What about religion?

Do you expect me to marry my girl

off to a vagrant with no identity?

Vinod, don't talk nonsense.

There's no use getting angry.

You should've known that your
