10 years ago for household work.

When father died, Roy closed business

and came here with family.

He brought this girl along with them.

At Salem no relations for her?

What relations will they have?

There is a rumour Roy has bought her.

Yes. Those days there were agents

to bring children for work.

lt is still there. l know some agents.

Do you want one?-Why do l want?

Just have one. To keep company to

master, to cook, to clean etc.

To say, l've a servant isn't it dignity.

The dignity already have is enough.

Make a move.

For me, not enough. You bring pickles.

ls it a toddy shop? Get down.

One more small.

Small and Big after going home.

l came here because l can't have it

in my home.

Master!- Stop it. Manikanta.

Go and sleep.

Then l'll sing a song.

Onnam Devi Thirudevi

Who gave you this flower?

Neither did anyone give

that nor did l pluck it.

Are you married and taken care of?

-Was your child given a ring??

Premachandra! You close the gate.

Some drunkard may come.

Open the door. Hey!

lsn't there anybody inside?

l have to kneel down and offer prayers.

Ammatchi is shouting.

l want to kneel down and pray.

Hey, is Simon Sirthere?

l saw a jeep there.

When you come to market,

why can't you come to my shop.

We can just talk for a while.

Whatever happens the blame is on Police.

But can we keep quiet without

doing anything.-What is that?

l've brought all the CDs in the list.

l was asking about Hansy.

Hansy!-You bring it. Let me see.

ls there any bribe?

No Sir, l don't have any such arrangement.

Did you get ''Milli.........''-Yes

l'll give it day aftertomorrow.

lt's reached Thiruvananthapuram.

Where is that girl?

What?

Hey! l've to break my throat to get you here.

You grind as smooth as butter and bring.

What is wrong with Ammatchi?

Nothing wrong child.

When they lock me up in the room,

l'll make problems.

They think that l am mad.

The other day Roychan did not allow me

to lock the room, hearing Ammatchi's words.

Ammatchi climbed the compound wall and

started bathing in the Temple pond.

With great difficulty we brought her back.

We should not leave Ammatchi like this.

What l feel is to admit Ammatchi

in a mental hospital far away.

Then everyone will know that Ammatchi is mad.

Now some proposals are coming for Hansy.

After marrying her off, Ammatchi can be

admitted in any mental hospital.

Afew of us only know this now.

ln Church some friends asked me about her.

Nowadays they don't see Ammatchi,

who knows they are keeping

something in mind.

Upto this time, no one had any doubt.

- Beena, you get in.

Brother-in-law was in Malappuram.

Got promotion as Town Circle and came here.

Good. Any rowdyism can be done.

Got people.

These are all l bought yesterday.

There are some good pieces among the old.

l'll have a bath.

Where is the ladder?

lt is in the backyard.- Take it.

Kathreena Chedathi, what are the news?

Do you know me?

Yes. l know you.

Did you have tea, sons.

lt is not yet time fortea.

The work is being done there.

We'll gave it there.

ls it proper? When you come here,

you must take tea from here itself.

Then after some time.

Namaskaram.

You like tea or coffee?

We don't want anything now.

You should not tell like that.

You've to take something.

- Tea or Coffee?

Then Tea will do.

l can put sugar in coffee, right?

You can, as you like.

See. what a well behaved lady.

She did not understand Manikanta Chettiar.

She thought it was someone else.

Don't be jealous.

This is all due to our behaviour.

l've seen her since so many years.

When l see her love,

my eyes are full with tears...

You can wipe later.

l've seen years back.

What are you doing?

Rice is just boiling.

l want boiled one only.

Shall l come on the top, Prema?

Not necessary. lf there is any good

timber among the old, take.

Oh God! ls the tea ready so soon?

-Yes, take it...

Run. This lady is mad.

Am l mad? - Go away.

Where are you?

Somebody come and give me the plank.

Hey girl, Carpenter is calling you.

Kochamma wanted me to

sweep Ammachi's room.

You do it afterthis.

You give me the broad rafters one by one.

What's your name?

No name?

l am asking your name.

Kanmani.

Are you from Salem?

l know a little bit Tamil.

Why did you make such a fuss that day.

That's why you got beating.

To say the truth,

l didn't see anything as l came down

from the hot sun.

l didn't see anything.

You are playing with chettan.

l've seen many clever women like you.

Even controlled them.

l didn't ask for 1000, 10000 or 1 lakh.

You have not given me the rent

since many months That too a small amount.

lt is not wantonly, chettan.

Thats what l also tell.

l'am comming every month not

to see your beauty.

Speak in a low voice.

l am not afraid of anyone.

lf necessary l'll use a mike.

No chance of my going without getting rent.

lt is not like before.

He was there.

We have to spend on clay only.

We've made the pots ourselves.

Now, l've to buy from outside and sell.

Seethamma, whateveryou say,

l'll get up only after getting my money.

Otherwise my name is not

Ganesan Chettiar.

Get up.

Get up...

What nuisance are you showing

where only ladies are there.

lf you dont't give me rent...

l've no mind to give you rent.

lf l don't give will you stay in the kitchen?

He made a house with 4 walls in the unclaimed land.

He says it is his house.

Yesterday village officers came

and wanted us to vacate.

VO's will do that?

Yes. Otherwise you show them the deed.

Oh! You speak in a low voice Seethamma

lsn't enough if l hear.?

lt is you who said will bring mike.

Then bring the mike set.

Chettiaryou are not comming

Can't mingle with people

who makes pots and pans.

What did you say?

- l was telling here.

Chettiar, here is our rent.

- This is as if deposited in bank.

How much Seethamachechi has to give?

- l will take it from them.

Don't want. They've debts and

other burdens. lsn't it, master?

But, l won't write it off.

l forced the drama people to vacate.

Oh! that is why l didn't hear

any sound while going that way

Rogues. Since 1 1/2 years they

didn't give even a naya paise. Master.

Drama has lost its demand

when mimicry people came.

l am so clever.

Took 2 or 3 people with me and

shouted at them to vacate.

Oh! you said so?

Not so harshly. But told them to vacate.

They were sent out, got the keys. See

Ohh it's great.

What is that?

A little Chaembu (Colocasia) curry.

Give me. The back door is closed.

For her marriage what will Seetham do?

She has not even a naya paisa.

Chettiar, No money is needed for her marriage.

She is such a beautiful girl.

Where are you going, Chedathi?

- To church

At this time? Any thing special.

To go to church on sundays,

christian needs no speciality.
