Oru Yamandan Premakadha (ഒരു യമണ്ടൻ പ്രേമകഥ)

'Bow down, O people'

'Before Saint Anthony'

'Bow down, O people... Before Saint Anthony'

'The one blessed by God... Hail Saint Anthony'

'Hail Saint Anthony'

You wastrel!

You coir-head!

You fish-face!

Will you bring shame to our village?

This is Kadamakudy.

Kudy (Drinking) is our Kadama (duty).

Duty! No gentleman gets drunk and sloshed like this.

My dear gentleman!

Don't go!

On the day of the festival at St. Anthony's Church...

who else is there in this Kadamakudy Panchayat who's not drunk, other than you?

Who else is there?

What a question!

Look! Kombanayil John sir.

You...

What?

What is it?

Scaring me? - Stop this nonsense. Move!

Sorry sir.

He's a relative of mine.

He came for the festival from the other shore.

He didn't know who you are, sir.

Do you know who that is? - No.

The only educated person in this village.

An advocate who knows all the laws by heart.

Kombanayil John sir.

Sir, labour pain has started for Lisykkutty.

Let's call the midwife. - We'll go and bring her, sir.

That's not necessary. We'll take her to the hospital on the other shore. - Sir...

It's about to rain.

Let's call the midwife.

I don't believe in the old ways of this village, and I'm not interested in them.

I'll decide where my wife should deliver our baby.

Get the boat! - Sir!

We won't reach the hospital, and we won't get the child.

Shut up, you old woman. - Oh God!

Sir, be careful.

Get down carefully.

Oh God!

The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you...

and before you were born,

I set you apart and appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

You should have brought her a little earlier.

Sorry.

We couldn't save the child.

Oh God! I can't stay where the child has been killed!

My dear...

Why did this have to happen to you, my dear?

You rascal!

Didn't I tell you that we'll call a midwife?

You killed the child!

What's the point in being educated?

You didn't listen to your elders!

Oh God!

Doctor!

That child is moving. The leg is moving!

Hey! He has come back from death.

So he's quite special.

Are you happy now, sir?

Oh no!

'Kombanayil'

No more discussions on this.

I'll say a mighty name that suits the child of Kombanayil.

Batistuta.

Seems like it didn't work out.

Then let's find some other name.

Sir...

Shall I say a name?

The one who came back from death...

Ramanan.

Awesome, right?

What nonsense is this?

You've thrown me out because I said a name?

Did I say any cuss word?

I said a better name than 'Vachikkutta', right?

I swear on my mother, that I'll never come back here.

Hey!

There's a name that I like.

We shall name our child that.

That's an awesome name.

Truly, a variety.

We call him Lallu at home.

We could have admitted him at the Government school next to our house.

But you know why we brought him here?

We want a well-disciplined boy.

I don't want to study! - Sit here, son.

I don't want to study! - Come with me, son.

Come on! - Leave me.

Don't you want to study and become a doctor?

I don't want to be anyone. - Why are you crying?

Sit. - I want to be a JCB driver, dad!

We also want candy!

Lallu, we like you a lot.

Hey! Consider me like your brother.

Please.

Lallu...

All the toys for you to play, are here.

With that...

With that, Pappi and you should play sitting here, without fighting.

You heard me?

And don't hang around with the slum kids of the 3 cent colony in this village.

Good boy!

'When we get hurt on the forehead playing cricket, we apply baking powder on it'

'And go ahead without bothering about it. Don't mess with us, the local boys'

'The enticing childhood is showering upon the Kuttanadan fields, like rain'

'As the local boys rush like the wind, O dear, dragonfly, would you join us?'

'Rowing the play-boat, and doing mischief which fills out hearts'

'Getting pinched and tweaked for our mischief'

'Smiling in spite of that, we go running again'

'The enticing childhood is showering upon the Kuttanadan fields, like rain'

There!

Lallu!

When people like you come, we must serve lunch...

Hey!

'To fly away like loose kites'

'This childhood is full of joy and dreams'

'We flap our wings, to the rhythm our hearts'

'A time when we lent hands and eyes to each other'

'Rowing the play-boat, and doing mischief which fills out hearts'

'Getting pinched and tweaked for our mischief'

'Smiling in spite of that, we go running again'

'The enticing childhood is showering upon the Kuttanadan fields, like rain'

'When we get hurt on the forehead playing cricket, we apply baking powder on it'

'And go ahead without bothering about it. Don't mess with us, the local boys'

'Are you a flying fish or a handsome male deer?'

'I searched for you in every corner'

Hey!

Don't waste your time coming after me.

I'll have a love marriage.

But I haven't seen a girl who has created a spark in my heart, yet.

Like a soft breeze,

she will come one day.

I am waiting for her.

An awesome, fantastic and terrific wait!

So...

'Brother'.

'Lalappan Tea Stall'

'Lulu Mall Tea Shop'

St. Anthony!

Bless my Lulu Mall alone with good business.

Sheesh!

How much, Chetta?

He doesn't know to calculate. - How much?

Give me whatever you feel like giving.

Tell me, Chetta.

Why do we need such formalities between us?

Check the amount, Chetta.

As if you're eating here for the first time. Give it!

Just calculate, Chetta.

What all did you eat? - 2 pieces of 'Puttu'.

One peas curry.

One tea.

And one banana as well.

I'm so busy here, I don't want your money now. Get going!

I'll give it in the evening, when I come for tea.

Calculate it and keep.

He'll come again in the evening for tea?

Chetta!

Two cups of tea, please. - Get lost!

You'll sit there, sipping tea and talking ill about the villagers, till evening.

Do you have any idea how much you owe me?

You won't go for any job also...

Chetta, it's not like we don't wish to pay you back.

We're all starving at home.

My dad has been lazing around at home for a week now, without going for work.

Can't he go for work, at least to make money to buy medicines for his wife?

Finally I asked my grandpa to go for work.

He said he slogged like a dog till he was 90,

and he can't do it anymore!

This is so sad!

I'm trying hard to forgive and live on.

You know? - You've grown as big as a pig. Can't you go for work?

When my dad and grandpa are alive, if I go for work, won't they have an ego issue?

The tail shouldn't wag, when the head is in form.

My greatest sorrow is that I don't have a younger brother, who can go for work.

Such frauds you guys are. Give the money for what you ate!

Say that... Calculation!

Then calculate and tell us. How much is it?

Tell us. How much is it? - Go ahead. We'll pay.

Calculate and tell us!

God will punish you for this!

Where are you off to in a hurry, Member? - To Kombanayil.

To Kombanayil?

Then there must be some problem.

Here. Keep this as well.

Tender mango pickle, Rasnadi powder, Unniyappam.

It's all available in Bangalore too, mom.

Yeah right!

I'm not the kind of cheesy mom who packs all this stuff teary eyed,

when my son goes away to a different place.

This is a blanket.

It's Bangalore, right?

You should always feel that your mother is with you.

This is for that.
