if there is any suitable alliance.

This time monsoon is good.

Today, a very good rose wood log

has come. It costs a lot.

RAFA-TmG

When I was 12, I was laid up with

fever and shivering.

Kelapettan put a piece of cloth dipped

in salt water on my forehead.

That night he went across the river

to bring physician.

Even if you close the door I won't go away

forgetting that gratitude and love.

Go away from here. There's boiling water

in the oven. I'll pour it on yourface.

She'll scold me badly.

But she got love for me. - Really?

You make fish curry soon.

I've to go after having food.

Kelapetta.

You go only after dinner.

You are lucky in one way.

Need not give accounts to anybody.

When rain comes, only 3 days' hard work!

That is enough if you get one log.

Spending forthe whole of the next year.

The rest of the 362 days drinking toddy

and ruling the place.

Anyone can catch the log coming in the flood.

Next time you try Hajiyar.

Hajiyar will get fever.

- Let the flood come. I'll try.

Rahiman, you measure the log of Velayudha.

You'd kept the tape somewhere.

I am still searching fortape.

I got other works after going.

There is timberfor Rs 3500.

Then give me Rs 500.

Let it be Rs 1000.

Don't want Kelapetta.

It will be spent unnecessarily.

If it is kept in your hands.

Let it be with me.

Give a thousand rupees. This is

for anotherthing. I'll tell you later.

Hajiyar, the balance you've to give me totally.

The only benefit I've with your business

is I need not give cash in a bulk.

Leela's marriage to be arranged soon

- Kelapettan's daughter's!

For my emergency if I ask for Rs 100

or Rs 200, you'll grumble.

I can't believe you for a necessity.

That's why.

See, Rs 500 was enough. Isn't it?

That's what I told you in Malayalam.

Let it be. Come.

His elders are two girls. I'd married them off

giving a lot of gold and money.

Not because they are not

good looking, isn't it Govinda?

Hai! They both are very good looking.

I like the girl. Now we can talk

about otherthings.

What Govinda? I've come just

because Govinda told me.

I've no interest in marrying

my son from a forest area.

How much can you give?

Forthat I've not kept much in reserve.

Just recovering from the exhaustion

of elder girl's marriage!

But that relationship was cut off.

You might've found someway when there

is a girl of marriageable age.

How much will be this coconut grove, Govinda?

That'll be 1 to 11/2 acres,

isn't it Kelapetta?

Govinda, don't try to measure the land.

We've kept some cash. We'll put in her neck

and ears as gold ornaments.

Can't say how much it'll be.

To give herto the other bank, we too have

no interest. Isn't it Kelapetta?

That's not Velayudhetta.

The boy is in Gulf.

What Gulf? We are giving you the girl

we've brought up fondly for nearly 20 years.

To speak correctly, money to be

given to us. Let it go.

Kelapettan has two girls. Forthat he cannot

go to the street and beg.

Who is this one?

This is Velayudhan.

What's the relationship with the girl?

He is not related to the girl.

Consider me as a person who has love

and responsibility to this family. Isn't it possible?

His love and responsibility is famous.

Here in Mullamkolly everybody knows.

Narayaniedathi, this will not materialize.

Kelapetta, we are not giving the girl

to this party. Tell them to go.

Is this your love and responsibility?

You keep this inside.

Govinda they are defaming us

after inviting us. - Get lost!

Are you mocking?

Come. If we still stand here

it won't be proper.

Start, Suguna we can go. Go.

They don't know well Pankajakshi Amma.

A girl like a tail of a lizard.

Can't give anything!

Who does he think of himself?

That too a girl like a slate pencil.

Who will marry her without dowry?

That is because they don't

have the mind to marry her off.

If two proposals are stopped,

then the girl will be left in the house.

See, Velayudhan has kept herto ripe.

Forthe time being another ripe one is there.

Otherwise, will he buy toddy and all to Kelapan?

Yes. Yes. This is the relationship

of Kelappan's dipping a cloth in salt water

& putting on his forehead when he was

laid up with fever at the age of 12.

If you want only the leaves of Jackfruit tree,

you'll have to starve.

I'll give it to the cows.

Is Velayudhan here?

This is not Velayudhan's house.

Is this Kelapan's house? - Who is that?

I am Pareeth. Come from the other

side of the river.

For a marriage proposal, Velayudhan wanted.

Go and call yourfather.

Please come in

The boy is a teacher in ITI.

His mother died long back

Father is retired from military.

Two sisters are married.

This is the youngest.

They've got sufficient land and property.

How much we'll have to give them?

That can be anything as you wish.

No matter if you don't give anything.

They are decent people.

This boy has seen and liked her.

Has he seen the girl?

During the festival here,

the boy alone had seen her.

RAFA-TmG

There is nothing to think over.

We can't get a better alliance.

Khadija, Khadija!

Aunty, is Khadija there?

What is in your hand?

Nothing

What?

I've something to tell you.

Then he came forthe festival to see you.

That's what he told the broker.

Any happy news?

Mother, her marriage is fixed.

- Not fixed actually.

This week they are coming to see me.

This is as fixed only.

Where is the photo? Let me also see.

A good match.

Narayaniedathi, when you fry coconut,

coriander and green chilies also to be added.

Aftertaking rice with chicken curry,

we've to fix this marriage.

There is Payasam. Now you tell

chicken curry also must be there.

Payasam after meals, isn't it Kelapetta?

Where did you get the chicken?

It is Kathrina chechi's.

She will demand exorbitant rate.

We have to catch the hen ourselves.

All plantain leaves are torn. I cut some

plantain leaves from Kesavan's compound.

I didn't ask for permission.

What's this? Look at what's he done!

You've come with your muddy feet.

Why can't you take bath and come?

When I asked fortowel to take bath,

You wanted me to bring plantain leaves.

After coming with it, you scold me

for not taking bath. What am I to do now?

You keep this in the kitchen.

- What time they are coming?

They'll come at 12'0' clock.

That's what the broker said.

You sit down. I'll bring tea.

Tea not necessary.

I'll not stand here when they come.

We don't know who are all coming.

There should not be any problem like last time.

I shouldn't talk unnecessarily. Good people.

We've to conduct this certainly.

Forthat money...

Kelapetta, don't think about money.

That's all ready.

Oh you've been to temple?

In this dress, she is just like a bride.

Isn't it Kelapetta?

Is it Pareeth coming? You said you'll come

with the party. You came early?

What's the matter, Pareethka?

That... that... they are not coming.

What's the problem?

It's Mullankolly people's tongue.

No license.

You tell the matter.

Some people have told unpleasant things
