Gaganachari (ഗഗനചാരി)

May everyone, in the whole world, be happy.

Greetings, Sky dwellers!

It's another wonderful day here, at the Bharat Space Station.

We are now hovering at an altitude of 700 kms from the orbit...

operating at an occupant capacity of 70%.

Let's start the day by getting your patriotic juices flowing...

with a wonderful melody.

Selvanna.

What happened to the leave you applied for?

Yeah, right! What leave?

I didn't even get sambar with idly for breakfast.

How will I get leave?

Well, it's better not to have that sambar.

Do they know to prepare anything without potato and lentils?

You are right!

The masala dosa they gave yesterday...

Oh, it was so terrible!

It's been so long since I had a traditional feast.

I hail from Haripad.

Haripad? Where is that?

That place doesn't exist anymore.

Water rushed in and wiped out everything.

Forget it, man!

All the dams collapsed, right?

What else is left now?

Attention Cosmonaut Shibu Damodaran!

We just received reports on heavy rainfall and cyclones...

in your native state of Kerala.

All Ajayya Sena volunteers report for duty immediately.

Volunteers should help the public to step out.

Ajayya Sena counters are open for you, to buy your daily essentials.

Attention! Your safety is our responsibility!

Namaste. Be advised.

Please stop and proceed.

You are now traveling at a safe elevation from water level.

It's been raining non-stop for the past two days.

If this continues tomorrow, Kerala will drown.

You do one thing.

Try to cross the check post before the bridge gets flooded.

Oh no! Police!

Hey! Wear the mask and kit properly.

What vehicle is this?

Sir, it just looks like an old vintage car.

It is indeed electric.

What's this LBC?

Lelo Broadcasting Corporation.

We're going to shoot an interview of Victor Sir.

- That army veteran? - Yes, Sir.

- Okay. Go on. - Thank you.

Hey, this 3D printed IBC card of yours...

They will find out that it's fake, sooner or later.

It is LBC, not IBC.

Four years ago, these roads were not motorable.

The Ajayya Sena guys cleared this place later.

Though they are a political party,

we can boldly go outside because of them.

How long has it been since he shifted from this house to the iron bunker?

Hasn't been too long.

He moved to the bunker when the island drowned.

They had to airlift him.

Does this entire island really belong to Victor?

Anyway, it's better than the colony of the elitists.

Well, he's an old national hero, right?

Government would have granted it to him.

Who else would build a bunker in an abandoned house and stay there?

Why does he have to live in this damn jungle?

Come, let us take everything out.

Close it.

Ah... Hello!

Come in.

You guys are here to shoot the biopic, right?

It is a documentary, not a biopic.

Have you found a name yet?

No, Sir. We can name it only after we shoot it and script it, right?

Oh, okay.

If you need any details about Victor sir's life, you can ask me!

I am a close relative of his.

Oh! What is your name, Sir?

My name is Allen... Allen!

If possible, you can include us also in this.

We will try, sir.

Sir, can you please turn on the light?

Raghava... lights!

Raghav-ji, lights please.

Namaste Allen-ji.

- You have AI here? - Of course!

Raghavan. He is a Malayali.

But sir, the government has banned AI, right?

Temperature is 15 degree Celsius.

Sir is a national hero, right?

So, all this will fall under his privileges.

And this Raghavan is a software gifted to Victor Sir by his friend.

- All of you are highly sanitized, right? - Yes, Sir.

You don't know how particular Victor sir is, when it comes to hygiene!

We are sanitized, sir.

Sir, right in the morning, Allen...

along with some guys who look like anti-socials are coming in.

- Shall I open the door? - Raghav!

- Open the door. - Copy that, Victor-Ji.

- Don't be scared! - No, Sir.

We were not scared. We would have stepped on it now.

I was not talking to you.

I was talking to the cat.

Dear Bhavani,

don't go too far.

Victor Sir, these guys have come to shoot the documentary.

Oh, the documentary!

Please come. Please come.

Being a former petrol-head and a rider, why don't you step out now?

Surpassing the price of coconut oil and gold,

the biggest fuel price hike in history, happened in 2025.

Instead of gold and drugs,

people started smuggling gas.

Sir, can you describe your current state of mind?

Let's just say we're fucked!

Even though petrol was scarce, the country burned for its sake.

Fuel trading was at its peak in the black market.

At that time, the government had to take a decision.

I think it was in 2027.

Usage of petrol and possession of petrol vehicles were banned.

Companies started to make GPS equipped battery vehicles, instead.

With that, my private trips came to an end.

Got it? Government started observing everything.

Watching!

But the surveillance is to save us from those beasts, right?

So, I don't step out much these days.

Yes, sir.

If you talk about surveillance,

government increased the surveillance...

when the first alien mega-structure landed in Kasol.

I know that. I was there.

Yes, sir.

Actually, all the beliefs I had until then, were shattered on that day.

Really?

Do our beliefs have to shatter like that, my child?

Well Sir, when we think scientifically...

Shouldn't we be embracing science by holding our beliefs close?

That was a profound statement, Sir!

Can you describe about those ferocious beasts that Alien Hunter Victor saw then?

You are trying to make me remember an image...

that I wish to forget.

A ferocious looking beast!

16 feet tall!

A despicable, ugly creature.

Do you know...?

If it touches our body,

it will know everything about us... from our birth till today.

That's what I have heard!

Another interesting thing is the way they landed.

A glowing portal in the sky...

and a window within.

Starting with Kashmir, this phenomenon was spotted in many places around the world.

Though people were initially scared of it,

it became a thing of amusement in no time.

Weddings and even funerals were conducted below these portals.

You see, businessmen started small shops and huge malls under it.

Though all the portals became inactive after a while,

the aliens have not left this place altogether.

The Government began the night curfew in order to catch these man-eaters...

whose heads are worth 50 Lakh points.

Yet, you kids can't help but go out to have fun.

No, Sir. We don't do that.

I said what I had to say. Good for you, if you are careful.

Ever since these monsters landed,

the little law and order we had, was ruined!

Protests and riots everywhere in the world.

In the meanwhile, a dam collapsed!

When the water rose, Malayalis got united as always...

until the 3rd world war broke out the next month.

Raghavan,

play traditional music.

Namaste.

This is the day, the state of Kerala was born.

In olden days, November 1st was celebrated as Kerala-Piravi day.

Bro, fire!

Oh no! Raghava, what happened?

- Fire, fire, fire! - Oh my God!

Fire!

This...

is my sleep pod.

The secret of my ever-youthful skin is the sleep I get in this pod.

It is good for sleeping...

and also very beneficial for the skin.

There is no pollution.

Newer models of this one have arrived.

They are more smaller.

But this one has a speciality.

Since its resale value is high,

I have not sold it yet!

Fire, fire, fire, fire!

When the third world war ended,

I learned Kathakali, the age-old art form, for 6 months...

...so that it should not go extinct.

I thought that I should teach it to the young generation.

But no one was interested.

So.... I am out of touch.

I haven't been practicing, right?

When the elephant was a domestic animal,

this was used as an ornamental headgear to decorate them.

It was known as "Netti-ppatt".
