bodies like vultures!

The wretched hasn't come

here after marriage.

And we don't know where she is.

What is your reaction

on the incident?

The sky won't fall

if I don't react.

If a girl is going well

with her film career..

...some scoundrel will

come and grab her.

And it's a routine affair

in Malayalam cinema.

Don't be scared. Nobody knows

that I've come here.

Just give me some space..

Good and I appreciate.

It's good that it's arranged

in a secret place.

Or else to control the media,

we'd have needed police.

Congratulations!

Take this. It's a gift from me.

What is this?

It's a marriage gift.

For what? I didn't invite

anybody for marriage.

I know.

But I like to act according

to the situation.

There are lot of expenditures

during marriage.

I just needed Rs. 250 for

the registrar office.

And I had it.

Registrar office is not the end

of the marriage, isn't it?

Now if you want to go

to Ooty or Kodaikanal..

...for honeymoon, it's an

expenditure, isn't it?

Sir, I'll come your house

before going there!

No problem, take this.

I don't like to see the

face of the people..

...responsible for my ruin.

Madhumati! You married

without informing us.

Anyway, congratulations.

But one thing..

...because you are married,

don't leave films..

...like other Malayalam

actresses.

We want good characters

of Madhu.

Tea. - No, I don't drink

tea and coffee.

Best wishes, bye then.

How did he find this place?

Rafiq, come with me.

You know somehow we managed

to pay the advance for this room.

For now, there is no other way.

Rafiq, sell this camera

and get me some money.

Nobody should know this.

- Fine.

All right Udhayan, we

are leaving. - OK.

You've got to do lot of things.

Call me if you need something.

- Fine.

Bye dear.

- Bye.

Mr. Udhayan, it's only money

and gold that can be robbed.

Nobody can snatch one's talent.

Mr. Udhayan can write again.

You should write.

You can become a well-known

filmmaker.

I thought of asking

one thing many times.

Shall I ask you now?

- You can ask.

Mr. Udhayan, did you ever

feel like love for me?

Madhu, you don't know

how much I loved you.

But for the sake of Madhu's

prosperity, I didn't express it.

Hello, is this producer?

I am Pachallan Bhasi.

I and Rajappan..

no Saroj Kumar..

...Is hiding and staying

at the same place.

Kumar is very anxious.

The film is being released

in Kerala today.

The matinee show is finished.

Did you get any information?

What? Super hit? Bumper hit?

Oh my God! Bumper hit!

Rajappan! The film

is a bumper hit!

Give the money!

- Hit! Hit!

What's the matter? - The film

is bumper hit, go and see!

Film is bumper hit! Hit!

Yes come in.

Come Udhayan, the train was

in time, isn't it? - Yes.

Then freshen up yourself we'll

talk after having the breakfast.

Baby Kuttan, when I called you..

...you didn't say anything

about the screenplay.

Didn't you like it?

It's not possible to

answer in one word.

First you get fresh,

and then we can talk.

That's not important.

When I read Udhayan's

first story..

...I knew it was a sure bet.

This.. may be we'd get awards.

But that's not our main motto.

I never thought of awards too.

And who wants the approval

of these crooked minds.

But I don't want to show..

..mimicry and ruin Malayalam cinema.

I too don't want that.

But cinema is meant

to entertain people.

Which people?

- I am not arguing.

I am arguing.

You producers undervalue

the cine goers.

Because there are

no good movies..

...they watch mimicry

and clap hands.

Seeing this, you decide

they want low films.

That is not the truth.

The director and heroes which

gave them good films once..

...are constantly cheating them

now by giving cheap films.

That's why they are clapping hands..

..after seeing the mimicry, understand.

They'll come back surely

to see good films.

It's good if they come.

We should not waste time

talking useless things.

And coming to the point..

...Prasad Chandran's popularity

has gone too low.

Then? - In the film industry, there are

no...permanent friends and enemies.

That is what experience

taught us, isn't it?

There is a proverb, forget the

past and live in the present.

Don't get annoyed.

If we make Saroj Kumar our

hero, everything will be fine.

These days he is very popular.

People are crazy about him.

That's the reason Baby Kuttan

has gone against my story.

No.. it's not that.

If you had said this

on the phone..

...I could have avoided

a journey.

Does forget the past mean

to honor the cheater?

And does living in the present

means to do a film..

...I should forget my

self-respect and conscious?

This is a post-dated cheque.

Somehow I'll put the money..

...In your account in one month.

The advance, which Baby Kuttan..

..gave me for the first film.

Take this.

- Udhayan, between us..

Friendship and films are

both different things.

I got to know it.

People will throw stones on

the tree, which bear fruits.

He may be someone who is

jealous of my prosperity.

I am riding high where nobody

else could reach.

And I take it as a proof of

that. Isn't that a compliment?

I've given seven hit

films in a row.

People love me very much.

And because of this, many

of them are sleepless.

They are not just throwing

stones, they are giving..

...money to people to shout in

the theaters running my film.

But that's not a problem.

My fans will reply suitably.

Which are your forthcoming films?

- There are many.

I don't remember the names.

Who is directing your films?

Whoever may direct,

but it's me who is acting!

My fans just want to see me

for two and half hours.

For that I need to

dress colourfully.

Change the goggles often.

Couple of heroines

should love me.

And nobody notices who

the director is.

You said you'd be back in

two days. I was bored.

I am fed up discussing

with the producers.

Could you succeed?

- No.

Why were you annoyed

at Baby Kuttan?

Who told you?

- Baby Kuttan called here.

And said that you returned

the advance.

To return one's money

is not annoyance.

We should forget the past and

do films with Rajappan..

...that is what Baby

Kuttan saying.

Madhu, it's not just Baby

Kuttan, all the stupid..

...whom I told the story

were saying the same.

Nobody is going

to slit my head..

...If I am not going to

do the films, isn't it.

The robber Rajappan and that

too a hero in my film!

I was watching his interview.

It was fun.

If I was not in films,

I'd have been some..

...doctor or collector

or something like that.

Along with the art,

I was studious..

...and used to be first

in schools and college.

I was the captain of the

cricket team and kabaddi team.

And lot of captains. -

Then Mr. Saroj..

Switch it of, Madhu.

He's simply talking rubbish.

This is better than his films.

Mr, Udhayan, don't get annoyed

and see this, come.

I got flu a day a before

the IAS exam.

I still remember

my father cried.
