Anchakkallakokkan (അഞ്ചക്കള്ളക്കോക്കാൻ)

Hey Punnari!

You somehow try to resolve

the labour strike at the plantation.

Or I'll hire nice Kannadigas.

Chaapra achaya...

It's the election.

All thanks to that damned bus and its owner in Thankamani,

looks like the Left will win this time.

So, let's give something

and somehow settle this issue.

What did you mean by "give something"?

I didn't quite understand.

Do you have any cash?

Huh?

Padmini, get some curry.

Punnari...

Where's the money from the plantation sale?

I'll arrange it tomorrow itself, Achaya.

Good one!

Puttanna!

Come here and sing that song.

It's somewhere here.

Punnari, come forward and look.

Go on.

The workers are also out searching.

Why are you following me!

Go and check over there!

If they catch it, they get half the meat!

Go on now!

Could you find it, Punnari?

Can't find it anywhere, Achaya!

Did you find it, you morons?

No, master.

Hey!

It's here!

Where else could it go?

Son of a pig!

Come here.

Hey brother, get down here. This is Kalahasthi.

Brother...

One... tea.

Outsider?

Tea...

Out-of-towner?

Ya.

No milk. Only black.

Where are you headed?

To the st... station.

Is it regarding some case?

Not a case.

I'm with the police.

Give that here. Have some milk tea.

Sir, you want something to eat?

No.

-Is the police station far? -Sir, it's quite far.

-You cannot walk it. -A good distance, sir.

It's Cherian's jeep.

Come, sir. Will drop you at the station.

Get in, sir.

What's in here? Iron rods?

I'll pay for his tea.

Come, sir. Stop, stop!

This way.

-What's up, Malagha? -Get in, sir.

Who's this?

-He's with the police! -Police?

-Get in. -Come on in.

Let's go.

Is there more distance to go?

Yes, quite a bit, sir.

Hey you, old hag!

It's not our job to look for your missing calf!

Get lost! It's election time.

Ah, the missing calf, right?

We'll get it sorted.

Maybe it will come back.

We'll figure something out, okay?

You leave now.

-Hey Kolambi! -Sir!

Heard they fished you out of the stream

and brought you back home?

Seems like you'll head to the grave

right after the elections.

It's not the elections, sir.

His wedding was cancelled!

-Shut up! -Oh, is it?

His wedding was called off?

Bloody people in this town, sir! They talk!

So, the problem is the townsfolk!

Not you, huh!

Are you the new guy?

Yes.

Come on in.

Give that inside. Go.

I had also requested them

to increase the labourers' wages.

Does that mean they can act like this?

Sir.

And people just...

Step aside.

-Eh? -I'll call.

So, it's definitely a labour issue.

Everybody here knows that, sir.

They attack the landlords

and get the votes of the labourers.

This cannot happen here any more!

Maveli, is this also pinned on the comrades now?

No, sir...

The SI has gone to the scene.

We'll sort it out.

Sir, please make sure you somehow do it!

Elections are coming up.

There's a prevailing Left-leaning sentiment

due to the Thankamani case.

Hey, why are you standing here?

Sit down. Did you eat something?

I had tea.

Or you eat this.

That's Bairi sir's.

He's not gonna come now.

You eat it.

Alright, sir. I am off.

Sir.

My name is Antu.

Also known as Maveli Antu.

-Your name? -Hey!

Good to show some respect to political associations.

No need, sir.

Vasudevan.

Where are you from?

From the north.

Alright, I am off, sir.

It's election time.

We can get to know each other in more detail later.

Bye, sir.

New guy?

Tapioca and chutney?

Chippan!

Looking dapper!

What's happening?

Today's my birthday, sir.

And didn't you go to church?

Did you come here directly to pray, instead?

Thought I'll sign and go to church.

Why are you standing?

This is Chippan, the local thief.

He came to sign.

You...

You go there and eat.

Here, you won't be able to eat peacefully.

Let that be.

Go on.

Give him the register, sir.

Let him sign.

And then he needs to go have his cake.

Right?

Chippan!

-If you dare take out your old tricks... -If I?

I will break your ribs into splinters!

You know me well, right!

My dear Urumaal sir, you very well know,

I gave up my old lifestyle.

Alright, go.

I knew when I brought you along,

nothing would happen!

Oh, dear...

How did it go, sir?

It was useless, man!

Listen, I am starving.

Bring me the food.

Sir, the other guy has come to join.

Who?

-Mm... Vasudevan. -Give that here.

And where is he?

Vasudevan!

-Sir. -This guy?

-Sir! -Ah!

Looks like you started your duty right away!

Very smart!

Throw that away and come.

You skipped the camp

and came here right after training, huh?

What a pain!

Nada!

Sir.

-Sign. -Hey Nadavaramban!

Sir.

Sir.

Will do, sir.

You go and report over there.

-Sir. -Mm.

Did you go to the hospital?

No, I was about to leave.

-Take that new guy along with you. -Alright, sir.

Explain to him how things are around here.

Okay, sir.

We'll slowly arrange the stay.

For now, you can stay with me

at the station itself.

I have been here for a while.
