Aavesham (ആവേശം)

This doesn't look like that.

That's different, Mom.

After you finish studying,

make one like this, okay?

Okay, Mom.

- It's not that old. - Hey!

Just a few years old.

That's my friend, Dad. Let's go over?

- Greetings. - Greetings.

How do you know each other?

At the cultural festival... in Alappuzha bar...

At our friend, Sharon's barbecue.

How about we go?

Oh, it's time. Let's go.

Come on.

All of you please listen to the hostel joining procedures.

The sheets will be given to you.

Make sure you fill it in capital letters.

And also, do not make any mistakes while filling.

You guys go to the hostel.

Bangalore is so far away.

It's his first time so far away from home.

It'll be fine.

- This is how they learn. - Sister?

Greetings, I'm a clerk here at college.

My name is BK.

I'm saying this cos you're Malayalis.

The college hostel isn't that great.

Why is that?

It's full of drugs, alcohol, fights and whatnot!

- Oh, no! - But don't worry!

There's a hostel nearby called BK.

It's very strict there.

They've Malayali food too.

Moreover, I'll always be there.

Dad, isn't the college hostel enough?

Won't it be more expensive outside?

Not at all! It's actually cheaper.

Cheaper than here.

College hostel is enough, no?

- Full freedom! - I'm gonna put my son there.

Fine. Let's do that.

All the kids are smoking here.

Don't pick up these habits!

Come, it's right here.

- Okay, sir. - Take the stairs.

Hi.

Are you gonna sleep with me?

Eh?

That's my bed.

Oh...

- Shanthan. - Who?

That's me.

- Bibi. - Bibi?

- Aju. - Aju...

- How long since you came here? - Around 35-36 years.

It's my first time.

Sister...

Don't worry about anything.

It's a very reputable place.

Mom, this is Shanthan.

I know!

He always tells me about you.

- Who? - Bibi.

Are you happy, son?

- Why? - Let's leave, Mom.

- It's time for the train. - Bye, son.

Hi!

We're off. Call us if you need anything.

Who the hell is he?

Mom, call me once you're on the train.

Keep this too.

Sister... I forgot to tell you.

There's someone who comes to clean here.

So, need to pay him 1000 rupees.

That's how it is here.

Alright then. Bye.

Watch your hand, son.

No, dude. Just got here. There's time.

What kinda question is that!

How can you not drink when you're in Bangalore?

There's a place nearby.

At Kundalahalli.

We'll be fine once we get the uniform.

Is that so?

Ma'am? Uniform come?

No, not yet.

No?

Ma'am, when?

Okay, ma'am.

One at a time, please!

Ma'am, uniform come?

Get lost, man!

- You give. - Ma'am!

Malayali?

Shanthakumaran.

Hey you! Check guy!

Yes, you! Come here!

Come here, man!

Walk.

You guys... later, later...

Later?!

Back, eh?

Where were you?

They beat me up.

Who?

Seniors.

Why didn't you just do as they said?

I did everything they asked me to.

Sang, when they asked me to sing.

And still they beat me up.

What nonsense! Should file a case!

Who were they?

That Kutty and gang.

They're some big deal over here.

Do you wanna finish your studies properly?

Then, just quietly accept those beatings.

Today, it was him.

- Tomorrow it'll be us. - Yes.

Then what?

It'll be good if we get it over with!

Do you know what makes these seniors so fearless?

What?

They've been together for a few years now,

so, they've got a bond.

These juniors don't have that cos they come from all over.

But here...

all 22 of us are one!

If we stay together, we'll be a bigger gang than them.

Super!

Why didn't you say this before?

I simply got beaten up!

It's okay, man. What's happened, happened.

Let it go.

By the way, which song did you sing?

No wonder they beat you.

What were you saying?

Listen...

From tomorrow onwards,

all 22 of us are one gang.

We needn't be afraid of anyone!

Cheers!

That's Kutty and gang.

Who are they?

Juniors, I think.

Hey!

Just went over there.

Hm?

Think they were seniors.
