Pavi Caretaker (പവി കെയർടേക്കർ)

Heartfelt thanks to all whoever helped to make this movie

We're almost there, boy.

Get down, get down.

Slowly. Careful!

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Hey!

Here for grooming, Sir?

Not that. It's something else...

De-shedding, nail cutting, shampoo bath,

deodorizing. Things like that?

He has a stomach problem.

- What? - Err.. it's a stomach upset.

Oh, okay. The doctor is upstairs. You can go there.

Oh, thank you.

Come, come!

Hey!

Stop drooling over high society girls. Fix your diarrhea first!

Cover your butt with that tail.

What did you eat, to disrupt your digestion?

Brute!

Listen! If you eat anything without my permission hereafter,

I'll show you my true colours!

- Chetta. - I'm warning you!

Can you give me your phone?

Huh? Phone?

Yes. I want to call home.

I forgot my phone at home.

That's my face ID.

Hey, a girl has taken my phone.

In case she flees with it,

you must chase and get it, okay?

Don't get stressed, Mom.

I'll call you somehow. Okay?

Thank you.

Please delete that number.

Hey, I'm not that kind of a guy.

I'm the caretaker of the biggest luxury apartment in this city.

Whoever you are, you're still human, right?

Where are you from?

- Mundur. - Mundur?

Yes. Mundur in Palakkad.

Oh!

- What is your name? - Pavithran.

Pavithran!

That's not his name.

Pavithran is my name!

- He is Bro. - Bro?

That's how we call each other in Kochi. 'Bros'!

- Oh! - Oh, yes!

Oh! Where do these people come from?

Hey! As soon as a girl pets you,

you're all floored, smiling with all your teeth, huh?

I didn't tell her that you have diarrhea, only because of my decency!

This woman!!

Hey, Granny!

If you keep tossing things like this, I won't fetch them for you.

I'm warning you! You think you're a child or what?

Come here. Let's sit and chat. Come here, Mathan.

If I ask her to lend me Rs.500, she won't!

Old hag! And she wants to sit and chat!

Oh, he's right on time!

Hey girl, your ride is here!

But where's the boss of this place?

He had to go to some hospital. He has gone there.

- It's 5:15 pm. - Yes.

Shouldn't we leave?

Well, I had planned to leave at 5 p.m.

Where are you going?

I'm going to give this to that granny in 1-A.

Sir! Will we have the same traditional feast for Onam this year as well?

Why? Do you need Biriyani?

Oh, no! The same old feast would do!

Bloody bland feast!

Aviyal, Sambar, Kalan and the same old veg stuff!

How can we eat rice without some dried fish at least?

Let me keep this.

Granny!

Hi!

Here you go.

Hey, there's an apple over there.

You take it.

I'm not sure why,

but my knees are tingling with pain.

My legs also get prickly.

I'm also getting prickly climbing the stairs.

Then pull up a chair and sit here.

Let's have a chit-chat!

Yeah, right! What a great time to have a chit-chat!

Oh, no! The devil is here! Bye, Granny.

Has anything run out of stock?

We're out of toothpastes.

Okay.

- What did he ask? - About the stock.

See you tomorrow.

- Hello! - Did you call me?

If you wander around leaving this gate open,

I'll show you my true colors! Understood?

- Pavi... - What?

Didn't I tell you about a girl?

When I told them about your background, they seem interested.

What should I tell them?

Tell them that I have absolutely no interest.

Also, hereafter don't come after me with these marriage proposals.

You haven't experienced the pleasure of living a solitary life!

Well, Pavi.

If you want to live as a singleton, do that!

But, I'll keep telling you everything I want to say,

like any older brother would.

How much money does my older brother want to borrow?

Rs.4000.

- How about last month's due? - I'll give it back, man!

Well, few people are coming over from my son-in-law's family

to see the baby bump.

- To see this bump? - Go, silly!

My daughter's baby bump! Jancy is 7 months pregnant now.

Is it? Don't they have anything else to do?

Barging into your house to see the baby bump?

Then?

You can just send a photo on WhatsApp, right?

You're better off solo, without women or family ties.

Is it because you have all that to handle,

that you bolt home at 6 p.m. like a hen on brood duty?

I'm not assigning night-duty to you,

only because you're old and diabetic. Remember that!

So, it's not to get double the salary, huh?

Caretaker during the day and security guard at night!

You seem to be in great form today, Advocate!

- A little bit. - Oh! Then go and sleep.

I'll switch off the radio.

Oh!

- I'm not done yet. - It's alright.

- I'm not done dancing! - I'll play it for you tomorrow.

- Go to sleep. - So you'll play it tomorrow, right?

- Yes. - Okay. Goodnight.

- Such sorry lives! - My bloody place!

Pavi!

Come here.

What is it now, Advocate Sir?

Listen.

If you don't see me outside even after the sun is up,

please open the door and check on me.

If I die of a heart attack during my sleep,

the hassle will be all yours!

There's no one to call or check on me.

You go and sleep, Sir.

Everything we cling on to, needn't stick around, right?

She went her own way. My fate!

Just a minute.

Who is this now?

- Hello! - Yes.

I am calling from Mundur.

Remember, Mundur?

Isn't the Mundur saga over yet?

Hello. Tell me.

- I am Malini's Mom. - Oh.

She called from this phone in the evening, right?

- Did you forget? - Oh, yes! What is it now?

She hasn't taken her medicines with her, Son.

- She's asthmatic. - Oh!

- I'm unable to reach her friend either. - Okay.

What do I do now?

Aunty,

that girl came to me and left immediately.

I don't even know where that girl is now.

What can I do now?

Sigh! Why are you asking me what to do?

- Do whatever you want! - Huh?

Hey, her friend is calling me back.

Okay. I'll call you later.

Oh, okay.

Phew!

Do whatever you want!

Room for rent?

Bro! Seems like you had a sound sleep last night?

You're looking all fresh. Did you pee after waking up?

Did you pee? Did you? First tell me that.

- Or else I won't give you anything. - Oh!

The child's father is here, huh?

Go pee and come.

- Hey, Aunty. - Yes.

Are you leaving for somewhere?

Oh, sorry!

Yes, you're right.

Not me though. You will be leaving!

- Huh? - It's been 3-4 years, right?

You won't pay more rent and you won't move out either!

That room could easily host four or five people,

and you're staying there solo, chest puffed out like you own the place.

There will be no such further considerations.

If anyone shows up seeking a room to rent,

I'll make sure they stay over there.

You can't let just anyone stay there.

What, what?

No, Aunty. I mean...

If 'anyone' is allowed,

how can we determine the nature of these individuals?

And... The two of us...

don't have any vices like smoking, drinking, etc., right?

Then I'll do something.

I'll make the Vicar from our church,
