I've seen once. It is like the beak

of a kingfisher. Very sharp.

I want to see.

Go! You go and ask! Go!

Prakash, come out. It's going to rain.

I'll come now. Only 5 minutes more.

Go! Go and ask.

- Have you come to take bath?

Will you show me the knife?

- Which knife?

The one in your waist.

- Not for me. Forthem.

If you take it out, will you keep it back

only after killing someone?

Who told you all these unwanted things?

Run!

Oh! It's you! Some stories.

Stand there! I am able to see you neat

at least once a year.

I am happy!

Hara Haro Hara Hara!

Why're you laughing?

RAFA-TmG

Look! Look at that feast, laid for Krishnan

to come and spoil in a drunken fit.

Gopi Nambiar! You can count.

The festival will start on the

21st day afterflag hoisting.

This time we'll put an end to Velayudhan.

Let the people of Mattancheri come.

We'll have a solution for all our problems.

A good news!

This time as a part of the

festival programme,

we're bringing five wrestlers from Mattancheri

to beat Velayudhan and break his leg.

He's our permanent headache.

As soon as they break his leg,

mimicry and music programme will start.

That is by Janata troupe.

You'll say that it is by Janata troupe.

But lateryou'll make Velli sing.

I'll see that Ganesan, doesn't sing.

Nobody believes Kurup here, isn't it Rajappa!

Don't question the sincerity

of a public servant.

The Panchayat is bringing the people

of Mattancheri foryour sake.

Asoka, without watching simply

write down fifty rupees by Krishna.

From where will I get money?

Write two rupees.

Two rupees? You don't know

about the rates now, Santha.

Nowadays to break a person's leg,

the rate is too much.

She's imprisoned.

Then how'll she know world news?

Doesn't Santha also need freedom?

Mattancheri people are coming.

That too five persons.

To feed them itself a large amount is needed.

The decision of Panchayat is to collect 50 Rupees

from those who are personally affected.

It's not the matter of money only.

We need energy to work also.

What member? Collecting donation forfestival?

Is collecting donation also forbidden?

Oh! Goondaism?

Velanna! Do you've have 50 rupees?

- What for?

To send them away.

Anyway it is the decision of Panchayat.

We'll send the receipt.

You come without staring.

Did you give 50 rupees as donation?

No. I gave it to Kurup as loan.

If it is five orten rupees I can understand.

They are bringing four orfive people

to break your leg.

They said that they are from Mattancheri,

and their rate is more.

All the five from Mattancheri?

Even then, 50 Rs is too much!

Soon. Soon.

Come soon brother.

Yes. Right.

This Velayuthan! How is he?

They wanted 5 persons.

That's why Panchayat collected money

telling they will bring 5 persons.

It's the trick of memberto

get money- It is Panchayat.

So Government's programme.

Isn't it? Food will be good.

Government? Who is that?

That reminds me if you want to go for a fight,

you've to go to Cherayi.

There you would get toddy and good fish.

Afterthis ferry, it is Mullankolli.

You sit there.

I'll go.

It's not that I can't break

the leg of Velayuthan.

I withdrew because Gopi Nambiar

told me not to interfere.

Come soon.

The ferryman is an old man. Ahmedka.

Are you going to swim?

No. It is itching. May be due to sitting

in the bus! - Ok. You scratch.

Keeri, who are all these guests?

Are they your relatives? -Yes.

Brought them to see the festival?

Come...

All of you get in. Get in.

I need the side seat to get enough wind.

Ok. Can go

They may be the children of Keeri's uncles

and aunts. Isn't it? -Yes.

Can't say that this person alone

is your relative!

That is because I have loosened my muscles.

- What?

Muscles are loosened that is why.

What is your name?

- Iddi mutti Vechan.

Everybody will be startled to hearyour name.

- Let them be frightened.

All of you please cooperate.

Those who had seen,

give chance forthe others.

What is this?

Can't you understand?

Don't kick.

Panchayat has made arrangements for everybody

to see. So please be calm.

Has everybody had theirfill?

Are you happy?

One parotta and half curry, please.

The Panchayat has arranged for 3 Parottas

and 1 curry for one Goonda.

You have taken 8 parottas and 3 curries.

If food is bad, there won't be

a good fighting. That is the problem.

Member, fighting will be good.

It's sure.

Break his hands and legs and put him in a corner.

He shouldn't get up in this birth.

What is the feast here?

They are giving feast forthose

who've come from Mattanchery.

Oh! Is it given by Panchayat?

I too paid 50 Rs. Let me also see.

Do you need more?

Enough! After one hour.

I think some more receiptes also have to be printed.

Member, are these Mattanchery people original?

You sniff and see whether

they're original orfrom Kunnamkulam.

Veera Babu is the best. Isn't it?

- No Veera Babu. It is Veerabahu.

The Army chief of Sri Subramanian.

This is Surapadmasura. This is Tarakasura.

I know all that.

A decent man is staring at you.

Do you know him? He's smiling at you.

Wherever I go there'll be people to look at me.

Oh what a beauty!

He is looking at you only.

Shall I ask him what his caste is?

No problem. I'll ask him.

Nanuetta, we may need some more police.

In that case we'll have to inform now.

This is not much. Sir, you are coming

to this place forthe first time?

Many people are coming from outside.

There will be a big crowd

when music program starts at night.

Who is Velayuthan here?

Vel Muruga Haro hara Ho...

Velayudha Haro hara ho...
