less than last time.

Koyutti says its due to negligence.

Or else, somebody is stealing.

It's not because agriculture is profitable.

The workers will get salary. I didn't stop it

because it is a good thing. That's all.

I'm getting old.

Let others who want, manage now.

The people here have great respect

foryour son-in-law.

He's helping you in everything.

That itself is a luck.

Yes. It's better not to desire for more.

Then we won't be disappointed.

You go grate some coconuts and bring.

The workers will start calling now.

Gita said she'll come for kitchen work

till the paddy work gets over.

Here we don't need help for kitchen work.

Looking afterthe cows in

the pen is the problem.

I'd told that Narayanan Nain'to come.

But he didn't turn up.

Sunandha? -Yes

What father?

Here, keep this.

It's the money forthe coconuts.

Koyutti said more than 600 coconuts

are less this time.

Tell Gopi, if he needs money,

show the account and take.

It's his own property. Why to!

Since we leave him like that,

he's taking advantage. That Velayudhan.

Now he's started stealing also.

He's taken away nearly 600 coconuts.

When Kurup went to ask him, he says I must defeat

him in a fight. Otherwise he'll steal again.

Last time it was ginger.

Nowadays gingerfrom one square

costs more than 8000 Rupees.

Kurup! When did you go to enquire

the price of ginger?

As a representative of the people,

I must know the price of ginger, etc.

Serve the lunch if it is ready.

Today there are many workers in the field.

Please wait, Please wait! Kunhappu is coming.

Kunhappu is coming. Children, give way.

Let me keep the fish basket down.

Kiri, give a hand. - Slowly, slowly.

Oh! Kunnummel Santha is here!

Santha, nowadays do you come to

the market across the river?

Kunhappu, isn't the fish a bit rotten?

Rotten mackerel is tastier,

isn't it Santha?

Santha, does Velayudhan sleep

in your house still?

There are other strong men in Mullamkolli.

Who? Are you the strong man in Mullamkolli?

Shame! You know to show off muscles and

say foolish things. But you buffalo, will run

bellowing if you see Velayudhan's shadow.

Hey, don't flaunt to me your pride

in sleeping with him.

What if I do?

If there's any daring person

in Mullamkolli, come!

Now will you stop it!

There are other people in the boat.

RAFA-TmG

What happened?

The Village officer was not there.

They told me to come day aftertomorrow.

Look in front and walk.

You are still loving her sitting on

the bench of 4th standard.

Now Janaki has a daughter

studying in 4th standard.

Its no wonder people talk.

Why can't you marry someone

and live decently.

Forthat who will give me a bride? Ahmed?

You go to Ponnani, shave your head,

wear a cap and come.

I'll give you any number of girls.

Kunhappu has come! Kunhappu has come!

Come one, come all.

What fish? -lt's good mackerel,

wriggling fresh! Buy only if you want...

A little more! A little higher!

- Is this enough? -Yes.

Allah! What is this?

Unnyar, you are putting up a name board,

spending your own money.

I gave him Rs 250.

So what? The writing is grand.

What's written below? Is it Tamil?

When we spend so much let it be grand.

Let the Tamil people also think

that this is their place.

You want those low caste

people coming to work

in the field to think that

this is their own place?

These are the people who were driven out of

Tamil Nadu for creating problems there.

Don't keep the board here.

Sathish, you get down from the ladder.

And take that board with you.

Velayudha, I've spent about Rs 250.

Don't create problems.

Unnyar, why do you spend unnecessarily?

What's the necessity forthis now?

Tell that.

There are no hotels here to compete.

No need for any board. In any case, don't want

Tamil board. No. No. No!

Wait Velayudha!

What you are doing is rowdyism.

What is it to you if he keeps

the board there? -What fish?

It is wriggling fresh mackerel.

Tell me that.

I've told you that.

Now let me see this.

Is this your wriggling fresh mackerel?

Show them wriggling.

It's only slightly rotten.

It's caught from the deep sea.

It has to reach here after crossing the river.

Haven't I told you before not to cross

the river and bring rotten fish?

Yes.

Then don't sell this fish here.

Oh no! Don't!

It's a matter of my stomach.

Not stomach! I should break your

head forthis. Shall I?

As it is, the children here are always

suffering from diarrhea and vomiting.

Now if they eat fish sprinkled

with ammonia, that's all. Slap!

No use following him, Kunhappu!

When he has put the stick, it is an order.

No change afterthat.

RAFA-TmG

Umma, is Khadija there?

Oh, it's you! Khadija, Leela is calling you.

I'm going to buy fish. Is she coming?

Umma, did you call me?

It is Leela. She's going to buy fish.

You also go. Buy only fresh fish.

Leela, wait. I am also coming. Wait!

Can't you wait fortwo minutes?

You should not stop here and there

like a leaf fallen in a river.

Go straight, buy fish and return.

It's mother's order.

Here, the rice and sugar.

Shop closed so soon?

I'm going to the supply office

to bring things.

You come tomorrow.

There's not a drop of kerosene to

light the lamp at night, Krishna.

Give it and go.

- You go. I'll come.

When you come will you bring

fish for 5 Rupees?

There is nothing to make curry.

Why only for 5 Rupees? Make it ten.

Half we can fry. Let it be grand.

Father is going to the toddy shop, isn't it?

Come!

Janaki Edathi.

Where are you going?

- We are going to buy fish.

Leelechi, will you buy fish

for Rs 5 for us also.

I am fed up of hertalk.

If you want I'll bring.

You go. Krishnetthan will bring.

- OK.

We will eat when father brings!

What if we don't take fish?

Don't tell our difficulties to anyone.

Understand? -Yes.

Those who want to buy rotten fish,

let them buy.

Who is he to say not to sell? -Yes.

What's the matter?

Do you see the stick nearthe fish basket.

It is Velayudhan's orderthat

fish shouldn't be sold.

Oh.

It is not all that bad.

This is his highhandedness.

It is only a little bit rotten.

First, it has to be caught from the deep sea.

Then it must be brought

across the river, taken to the market and

only then only we get it in our hands.

There the member has arrived.

Now it is going to flare up.

Come let us stand that side.

What's the problem?

Velayudhan has forbidden the sale of fish.

Gopi Nambiar, in that basket there

is fish worth about Rs 300.

What can we do if he says not to sell?

He didn't allow me to put up

a board for my hotel also.

When I questioned him,

Kunhappu got this punishment.

We mustn't leave him like that.

Member, you yourself find a solution.

How now Member! When I took a plantain

from yourtea shop?

Keep the money Suffer!

Even otherwise

No one gives any weight for my words.

If that man who doesn't have

name and a place says anything,

you'll all obey silently.

You people only spoil him.
