AiVoH

What happened?

What is it?

1, 2 or shower?

Huh...?

Do you want to pee,

crap or take a shower?

Two

Rs 2/-

- Give me coins

- I don't have any

Here's the balance

Yuck!

It is all over there

What?

Crap

What crap is he

talking about?

Hari...?

In here...get in, careful

Stop...stop!

I must get in too

Stop staring and climb up

Get in both of you

Oh no...break down

What's the problem?

Axle of the bus is broken

We can't go now

Will another bus come?

Who knows! You can go

if one comes along

- How can you say that?

- Let me see

What do we do now?

How can you leave us

stranded in a place like this?

You have to arrange

another vehicle

We need to reach

Kozhikode immediately

May be you can

board a ship

Walk straight that way

to reach the backwaters

Axle of the bus

is under repair

Can anything be done?

Shall we walk that way?

Come, let's go

It's pitch dark here

Oh! You have

a torch with you!

Do you use it always?

Not always...only when it's dark

How long do we walk...?

Where will we reach

if we walk like this?

Absolutely...no clue!

Let's see

What happened?

- Brother...?

- Yes?

If we cross this lake

can we get any vehicle?

Today?

You may be able to get

into an ambulance

Can you take us across?

This is not such a boat

I use this for fishing

You can't get onto this

Brother, please help us

We'll also help you fish

No, that won't work out

I'll pay you something, comrade

The old man

has got brains

The 3 of you can get in

Come on

Vasu, loosen

the mooring rope

I'm not coming

Okay, don't!

Who asked you

to come along?

Brother, how heavy is this boat?

What?

How heavy is the boat?

I have not weighed it yet!

What is it?

Will it sink ifl also get in?

What a pity!

"Was the lonely path feeling demure?

Did thunder clouds exhaust their downpour?"

"On sidewalks peacefully sleeping

with silence enveloping"

"ln this jungle, sun's rays patrolling

arms swinging and gracefully strolling"

tiff

This jetty is an old one, eh?

Yes

My father used this for

fishing and now it's mine

Hey! Catch hold of this

What is this?

Something is pulling it!

Must be a fish

Awwwwwwww! Fish!!

Tiff

"ln this world happily lived the people

though submerged in strikes and turmoil"

"ln this world carefree lived the people

though submerged in strikes and turmoil"

"Truth stabbed every day relentlessly

while revelry rents the air repeatedly"

ls there any place here

we can get some food?

"Oh you poor souls...life scorches indeed

within us the ashes of a flame that seethed"

tiff

Oh! I must enter through

the rear door today

Toddy...!

You can get yummy tapioca

and fish curry here

You can wait here

We'll both go and get it

I'm coming too

I'm really hungry

Huh?

Come on

'Long live Mother India'

Mischievous!

Puroshothamanmwhat is this?

Shall we sit here?

Is this a television soap?

Or a family pack?

What do you have?

Toddy

I mean, food to eat

Like tapioca and fish

or some such thing

Oh...that kind of food?

There is fish egg, fish fry,

small fish, tapioca

And then there are

white rice pancakes

I'll have a plate of

tapioca with fish gravy

Sir, what about you?

Okay, 2 plates of

tapioca with fish gravy

Sir, what would

you like to have?

I don't want anything

Why is that so?

Don't force him

Brother, please serve us fast

Rajesh...2 plates of

tapioca with fish gravy

Where are you from?

Where are you going to?

We are on our way

to Kozhikode

Oh! I see

To be frank, we ended up here

because of the strike today

I was wondering how

you found this rotten shop

Sit down

My dear boys,

take your seat

You just forgot me, isn't it?

You don't come here these days

Or have you all

stopped drinking?

What would you

like to eat?

There is fish egg, fish fry

and head fry

You know what

we like to eat

So, I'll serve you all now

I first met my wife-

Sorry, what?

I first met my wife

in a toddy shop like this

She was heading

a strike against alcoholism

And I was doing the same

for the laborers here

Our beliefs were

so opposite

Like how they say,

'opposites attract'!

Go...go

Okay, I'll go

Those bike-boys have agreed

to drop us till Ernakulam

okay

Where are you off to?

It is a short cut

Short cut?

The bike with the girl

is not in sight

They are just

a little ahead of us

We will catch up

with them soon

I can't see them

They are just ahead

Don't stress yourself

There he is!

Stop the bike

Stop...l say!

'12 miles more...'

Hello?

What is it?

Whaaat?

He hasn't reached?

Are you sure?

Maybe he didn't leave at all

Let me find out

from Hari's mother

okay

Hello?

- Aunty

- Hi, Prathiba

He left quite early yesterday

Please reduce

the volume, Sree

He hasn't reached?

No way he'll go

anywhere else

Are you sure?

Can you check again?

Okay

What is the matter?

Hari hasn't reached

Trivand rum yet

Nani...?

Nani...?

Hari...?!

Her bag

What happened?

The strap's broken

What do you

think of yourself?

You don't have to show off this

over confidence all the time

Imagine if something

had happened...!

This over smartness

is nothing to be proud of!

I wonder where we are

Thank goodness!

Get down

This is awful

I wonder why IT professionals and

cops are not affected by the strike

Hey...!

Just come here with me

What is it?

- He hasn't reached

- Who?

Hari?

Are you sure?

Does Sam know about this?

It was your idea

to send him there

Go and tell him yourself

What do

we do now?

What do you think

we can we do?!

- It flows down from there

- So beautiful!

Let's jump into it

I will jump into it now

It's lovely

Hari, aren't you coming?

What pure water!

We can even drink it

What is the distance

we've covered now?

What distance

are you referring to?

Furlong, kilometer or

'Kaadham' (5 miles)

Like how people in

the olden days called it?

- Doesn't Kaadhu mean 'ears'?

- This is 'kaadham'

Haven't you heard this saying...

...'Even if Mecca is 1000 'kaadham' away,

it will still be fresh in the heart?'

It is 16 kms as per

today's calculations

Wrong!

What?

Mecca is just

4600 kms from here

1000 'kaadham'

is 16,000 kms

Shall we go?

Yes, but where to?

We must go north, isn't it?

How do we know

where north is?

Sun is not visible either

Why are you carrying

a screw driver and such stuff?

North is that way

What is this?

Man vs wild?

What does that mean?

There is a man called 'Bear Grylls'

who hosts a survival reality show on TV

Do you think

this is a game?

Do you think this is a place to

vent out your personal grudges?

If you don't know,

everyone in the U.S values...

...Hari's expertise

more than any of you

They even value him

more than me!

If anything happens to him

jobs are at stake

Did you try

calling his home?

They've been informed that Hari

got down at the Paravoor station

And his bag has

reached Trivandrum

Paravoor is close by, isn't it?

This is Paravoor, near Kollam
