Pranaya Meenukalude Kadal (പ്രണയമീനുകളുടെ കടല്‍)

Stop here.

Choi brother...

Please come here.

This is Muthukoya.

Didn't Hassan Koya call you?

He's from Lakshdweep.

The deal is between HassanKoya and an Arab from Qatar.

It's a battered dhow on the island.

Hassankoya got this dealalong with Muthukoya.

It has to be repaired and sent to the Arab.

You say the rest.

It should reach Qatar before this Bakrid.

Hassan Koya told to assign the work to you.

I won't have time.

I'm working on an important boat now.

It'll take time to complete this work.

Damodharan...

Damodharan is also a foreman like me.

Take some boys with you and repair that boat.

It's in Lakshadweep.

I don't have any problem to go.But it's difficult to get boys.

There isn't anyone who knows thework like in the olden days.

You just try.

Let me see.

This 'Manju' belongs to the Arakkalfamily of Kavaratti island.

We, islanders say 'Manju' for dhow.

I know.

It was in use until five years back.

It tumbled down in the storm.

It's been lying there like that ever since.

Only women are there at Arakkal now.

They're not interested in it.

That's how Hassan Koya and I got the deal.

I remember that boat.

It was built here.

My father, Choi kutty's father and I were all there.

My father was the foreman.

Imbichikka, I didn't notice you sitting here.

Where else will I go?

Though I'm not well, I come and sit here daily.

The last time I came here,

wasn't there a boy who dropped me off at the railway station?

Yes.

Imbichikka's daughter's son.

Yes.

Oh God!

I was praying to God whilesitting on the bike with him.

Why?

He was speeding like anything.

Isn't he here?

It's better not to talk about him.

Today's boys are not interestedin this kind of work.

His friend has come from Dubai.They have all gone for tour.

It's been four days.

Ajmal!

Ajmal!

Don't leave your hand.

What happened?

He was trying to take selfie by standing on the bike.

Lost his footing and fell down.

Hey, do something.

-Be careful. -Ajmal!

Don't worry.

-Keep holding. -My hands are aching.

I'll fall down now.

Hold on. Fire force is on their way.

You don't need to worry.

Dude, fireforce is here.

Don't worry. Hold onto it.

-Sir, over there. -Sir, hurry up.

Ajmal, they are coming.

Don't move.

Ajmal, are you okay?

Here.

Lay him here.

Check his breath.

Dude, aren't you okay?

He and his selfie!

Where's my mobile?

At least you didn't lose it amidst this.

Thank God.

Take it.

Dude...

I got the selfie.

Doesn't it look good?

Where are you?

I'm in Wagamon.

Touring.

Will you come back in two days?

What happened?

There's one matter.

I'll come.

I can't go to the island.

I'll be bored to death.

That too for three months.

I'm going to quit thisboat building job.

Well, isn't he trying to be a film actor?

With six packs and long hair!

Why are you always loitering around like this?

You always go here and therein the name of shooting.

But I've never seen you in any movie.

Don't tease him, mother.

I saw him in a movie the other day.

Dressed up as a porter, he was there inthe background carrying a big suitcase.

Stop blabbering and leave.

My time will come one day.

Rajanikanth used to be a bus conductor.

After all, I was the hero in two music albums.

That's true.

Mother, have you seen hisacting in those music videos?

He thinks he's Dulquer Salman.

Shut up and leave.

If I've had a son, he would have become a foreman like Damodharan.

My father and his father used to be boat builders.

That's our tradition.

Grandfather, this is not your ancestor's age.

I don't want to rot in here.

It's because your father went for fishing in the sea that you all did your studies.

I'm fed up of hearing this.

Just like the dialogue from a 80's movie.

Mother, I'll go mad if I go to Lakshadweep.

Two of Mohanlal's films aregoing to get released.

I won't go leaving all that.

Also, there are no theatres or shopping malls there.

God knows if there is network there.

There'll be pretty girls on the island.

Oh!

Your friends will also be there.

Damodharan will be the foreman.

Veerankutty said they will be leaving on coming friday after Jumu'ah.

I promised that you'd be there.

Don't refuse, Ajmal.

Oh, grandfather!

'PRANAYA MEENUKALUDE KADAL'(THE SEA OF LOVE FISH)

This is Haider

To the islanders, he's 'Shark Idhru

Born and brought up in sea

Long back,

at night, unable to bear labor pain,

his mother Thithumma,

walked into the sea

and gave birth to him.

Island's black pearl.

Lying on the sea bed,

he grew up watching sunrise,moonlight and stars.

The old and the new generations of the island unanimously say that,

no one has ever been born on the island who can hunt sharks like Idhru.

Before the British, Lakshadweep was reigned by Arakkal queens.

The present Arakkal family.

Though they have lost their old prosperity,

Arakkal women are still dear to the islanders.

The head of the present Arakkal family

Beevi Noorjahan.

Idhru grew up playing at Arakkal house along with Beevumma's daughter Sulfath.

He didn't have a world other than the sea or Arakkal Beevumma.

He was always a loyal kitten at the feet of Beevi.

Come on.

Come and hold this.

Come on, hold it.

Hold it.

Hold it.

How much does it weight?

Just eat it.

They want to know everything.

Idhru, make it fast.

This isn't any fruit.

In India, Lakshadweep is the place which has low crime rate.

Once in a while a theft or squabble would happen.

Abdhurab, I hope you know that.

Sir, you'd said the same when I stole bronze vessels from Saidali's once.

Yes. What did I do on that day?

Saidali and I were called here.And you solved the issue.

And you made me return the vessels to him.

You put an end to my bread and butter.

-Isn't it? -Yes.

That is what I'm going to do today also.

That's why I asked Alikoya to come here.

That day I also got whacks from Shivankutty sir.

Sir, shall I do the same today?

That would be great.

-Abdhurab... -Yes?

You return these silvervessels to Alikoya yourself.

Sir, I also have to live.

That's why I got you a job at Arakkal.

Do work and live, Abdhurab.

It's been ten months sinceI took charge here.

No case has been registered at this station until today.

This station should get into the Guinness book for being the station without any cases.

That's his aim. Isn't it, sir?

That's not a bad aim.

Have you got any doubts?

No, sir.

Hey, what's it, Idhru?

Sir, finish your work.

Alikoya, you can leave.

Abdhurab, you too.

So, isn't there anything from Shivankutty sir today?

We're giving you concession today in the belief that you won't repeat it.

Alikoya, give him a hundred rupees.

He took so much trouble.
