Munroe Island (മണ്ട്രോത്തുരുത്ത്)

Row and row, you will never reach this isle.

Row and row, you will never reach this isle.

Walk and walk, you will never reach it's end.

Walk and walk, you will never reach it's end.

Seen without looking...

Seen without looking...

Heard without talking...

Heard without talking...

An isle where one and all reach.

An isle where one and all reach.

Dad!

Don't try to jump! Let the boat come close.

Give me that!

Slow!

Come!

Hi grandpa!

Who gave you permission to grow this big? Rascal.

Come.

I'll carry this.

Do you remember what you used to call me when you were a kid?

You forgot!

Appooppa! (Grandpa!)

Come!

Let's play a game.

-It's an old one. -Okay.

There are two roads... like this.

One leads to the gallows.

If you go there, you'll be hanged to death.

The other road leads to full freedom.

Full freedom. Okay?

-Yes. -Now.

I am the only one who can give you directions.

But I would only lie.

I mean, if something is true, I'll say it's not.

-Got it? -Yes, of course.

You can ask me one question. Just one question.

What will that question be?

-You should only lie. -Sure.

Okay.

Would you agree with me if I say this way leads to freedom?

I mean, would you agree?

You should only lie!

No, I won't agree!

Okay, let's go the other way.

But I agree that you are brilliant too!

Brat!

Come.

No dad, I'll carry that.

It has been more than one and a half years since he discontinued.

One and a half years?

But you said he is conducting research with a botanist.

Grandpa, I'll tell you something.

My father would tell you lots of things about me.

-Never believe any of them. -Then, you tell me. I'll believe you.

What do you want to know?

Is it true that you stopped going to college?

That's true.

-Then what is not true? -You shut up!

Tell me!

Ask me!

Why did you stop your studies?

Who said I stopped studies?

Grandpa! Schools and colleges are for those who can't learn by themselves.

That's it!

I can learn by myself. I am learning too!

"Learning by himself!"

Which is your main subject?

I am learning many subjects.

Still, which is your main?

That's all in colleges.

For me, every subject is main; when I am learning it.

Sages salute what they see each day!

You laugh, Dad!

After all this learning, he made two police cases.

Who? He?

Ask him! Look at him laughing!

What's all this, baby?

It is just a case about killing the nasty dog next door.

-You killed a dog? -Yes.

Canine euthanasia.

-It's a subject I am specializing on. -What does it mean?

Don't you know about the medicine to kill dogs?

It's a mixture of barbiturates and this and that.

I have developed a new composition.

And I was wondering how to test it...

and that's when the dog next door crossed the fence...

I caught it and tested a dose on it.

Brat! Then?

-The experiment was successful! -It Died?

It died and they filed police case.

Not one; two. One for killing the dog.

The other for threatening the kid.

-Then what happened to the case? -What else?

I fell at their feet to withdraw the cases.

Otherwise you could have seen!

Grandpa!

Are there stray dogs on this island?

He was seven when he came here last.

Still he hasn't forgotten anything.

He is going out of our reach, dad!

Come!

He is not going anywhere.

He is coming back to his own home.

There is nothing wrong with him. Believe that first!

Look who is here!

Kathu!

Oh my! A big man has come!

He is your size now, isn't he?

She has carried you around the whole of Munroe island.

Do you remember Kathu?

Why wouldn't I?

-Really? -Really.

-Give me that bag! -No, no!

Take this inside!

Come on my son!

Yes.

This is your room. How is it?

Wow!

Perfect.

-Do you like it? -A lot!

Amazing! Thank you, Grandpa.

-I am going to sleep. -Right now?

Take a shower and eat something before you go to sleep.

A shower? My god!

Come on!

What is this?

Do you want some fresh tapped toddy in the evening?

It's really sweet!

There is tapioca and sardine curry too.

No, thanks.

I must sleep, say, for ten hours!

Still, eat something before you sleep my lad!

Or you'll get so tired.

You haven't eaten anything since you got out of the flight, right?

I don't need anything grandpa!

I just want to sleep. Good night.

Now?

-Good night. -Good night, Grandpa.

You have hit your head again? Rub it with some water.

Rub it really hard!

Not like that!

Leave it!

-Where is it? Here? -Here.

Rub like this or it will swell.

Keep on rubbing!

Take a swig. You'll feel better.

This is the season of fine Kollam sardine!

The ice cubes worked quite well.

Kathu!!

It's really not that spicy! Just because of you.

And what about him? Just like you?

Better not to talk about his food!

That's why I told you that you won't be able to manage him.

First of all, there's your age. What will you do if he gets violent?

Who will come help you?

Does he know how to swim?

He hasn't tried lakes or rivers.

Does he swim in water?

He had gone for swimming classes and competitions for some time.

What I am saying is that... I'll stay here tomorrow too.

Day after, let us go to Bangalore.

The whole week he gets counseling at NIMHANS, you should stay with him.

I'll arrange a luxurious room.

I am not saying this because you're my son.

You are smart.

Your father is a fool. Your son is a fool.

Only you are smart.

-Do you want some more toddy? -No, no!

Then I will tell you!

You want your things done at any cost. Let them be.

And you don't need to stay here either. You can leave early in the morning.

Let him stay here for some days. I'll take care of him.

And if he makes any big problem as you say, we shall think about it then.

What's the use of thinking about it then?

All his problems will be over as soon as you leave, I know.

And I have no sugar or pressure or cholesterol like you.

I'll deal with his violence quite simply.

We're Munroe islanders.

No one can be too smart on the island.

-Shall I bring one more? -Yeah. Bring it.

So the guys have come.

Sit down.

There is no game within a game.

How was the trip?

Quite good!

Kathu!

How is your health?

Health means not to worry about health!

The dispensary is still there, isn't it?

Just for the sake of it.

I don't need more. Give him one if he needs.

No, no!

Don't take it back! Give it to me!

No need to cry out. Take it.

First thing first.

-Whose stuff is this? Mohanan's? -Mohanan wasn't there.

I arranged it somehow.

-Then it must be Suku's. -Maybe.

But where is Keshu? The heir?

He went to sleep as soon as he got here.
