The story and the characters in

this film are fictional, if found any...

mresemblance to people living

or dead are quite accidental

The Kerala's drama community

movement for the people, those...

...who lived and strived for the

movement those who had perished...

...and still living all the

male and female drama...

...performers alike, we

dedicate this movie to them.

This movie belongs to them.

What a tiresome waiting is this?

Why are they not approaching?

As the day gets longer

and longer it seems like a sea...

...which cannot find its shore.

Did it get delayed in spotting him?

Or Did any kind of delay

occur for starting off to here?

What ever it may be I'm

really tired..Really tired!

Hey look, look! Isn't she her?

My maid who is approaching?

Come maid come fast.

Where is he my beloved savior?

Maid what did he say?

Come on speak up!

He has answered saying

time has not come. Pardon!

Time has not come!

Still now time has not come!

What kind of time dragging is this?

"How come the

time has not come..."

"...when will that time

come, is it tolerable"

"How come the time

has not come..."

"...when will that time

come, is it tolerable"

"Merely to make fun don't say tales"

"Like bees awaiting for rain to come"

"Merely to make fun don't say tales"

"Like bees awaiting for rain to come"

"Though he is poor good in

heart consider me as your whore"

During thetime when the

drama lamp's wick got ignited...

...in the souls of Malayalees.

The prominent ones which ruled the

stage were 'Tamil drama troupes'.

Melodious songs and dancing lady

which was embodied in Tamil plays.

The tutor Ochira Pappukutty

with his graceful dancing...

...Tamil plays were nullified by him.

The tutor's female character set

the minds of prominent doyens in...

...Tamil play to tremble like - Brahmashri

Ananda Narayanan lyer's...

...and Subaiya Bagodafis.

The first super heroine in Malayalam.

The palace set and special

singers during that time...

...Tamil-Malayalam fusion plays were

staged in an escalated manner in...

...Kerala shore it was during this

time 'Cochin Eppan Tarakkan's play...

...named 'Maria' emerged.

Mariam ma was liked by all who

hailed from a small Christian family.

Here it paved the way

to social oriented drama.

Vaikkom Vasudevan

Nair(eminent writer in Kerala)...

"associated with Muthukulam

(Eminent playwright in Kerala)...

...formed 'Yachaki' (Women in alms)

The one which roused sword...

magainst the customs in Nam boodiri

caste (A forward caste in Kerala)

B.T's 'Adukkalayill

Ninnum Arangathekku'...

...(From kitchen to lime light)

With the sound of working class

K. Damodaran's 'Paatta Bakki'...

...(Tins left behind)

M.P Battathiripad's

'Hruthumathi'(The season)

K. RamakrishnapillaPs

'Prathima'(The statue)

Likewise the life of Malayalee

was candidly and directly...

mportrayed on the stage.

The Tamil drama bandwagon

treadled through the...

...mountain passes of Palakkad.

Here the first drama

prohibition had also taken place.

Abayadev's 'Navayugam'

(New age) was prohibited by...

...Chithira Thirunal Bala Rama Varma

(The royal king of Travancore, Kerala)

The king feared whether the play

would pave way for a social change.

Will the curtain of drama fall when

its subjected to fear by anyone?

For social change and for a

conscience of rebellion...

...K.P.A.C became a tutelage

movement and its play shook the land.

Bharatha stage and other

things are ready from Chavara.

Play ground is crowded with

men and lot of police also.

Collector has declared to

arrest on playing the drama...

...annulling the prohibition.

To hinder the coming of actors and

actress there is police guard in...

...each and every narrow paths.

Some how must reach at the stage

manipulating the sight of the police.

Whatever it may happen the

play must go on at any cost!

Does anyone have fear?

For us play is not an

entertainment its a revolt!

Each and every actor is a

fighter in this arena of strike

Fast make arrangements

to get ready.

"The day has come

upon you with the fire ball"

"The day has come

upon you with the fire ball"

Poetic story recitation

is really in its full swing.

Poetic story recitation is

only to fool the police.

By the time when we reach the

green room the curtain will fall.

The lights will be also gone.

By that time the recitalist and the

group will move away from the stage.

We'll commence the play.

"My god in this sorrowful drama

why you make me an audience for it"

"My god how will I bear it"

My dear RamanauRamana...

"Though we are two bodies

we were one in heart is it not"

"Weren't you my life"

"Though we are two bodies

we were one in heart is it not"

"Weren't you my life"

The play is about to begin the one

which was waited by you anxiously.

Kerala People's Art Club presents

'Ningal Enne Communistaakki'...

...(You turned me into a communist)

Hey Lady! Hey lady!What are

you doing over there you lady?

There is no one present here to

take if a shack of palm leaves falls.

The house has not been thatched

during the time of last harvest.

When the crow fly's with sh*t it

will be dunged inside the mouth.

"A small sickle.."

"The moon"

"The one who throws the sight."

"Under the beautiful

shade of that tree"

"Girl who stands wafting"

"Girl who stands singing"

"The girl who throws the sight

on the small sickle shaped moon"

"Under the beautiful shade of

that tree, girl who stands wafting"
