Kavi Uddheshichathu..? (കവി ഉദ്ദേശിച്ചത്..?)

'Kavi Uddeshichathu?'

This is a village by the name of Allimoola.

This village was known as the 'Volleyball village of Kerala' once upon a time.

Heard that?

Even now, the cheers of that game resonates through the entire village.

Bullshit!

My husband lost even the vessels in this house by betting on that bloody game!

lf he gets a chance, he would place even me as a bet this time.

The guy who invented this bloody Volleyball will rot in hell!

According to women,

Allimoola is the land of people who went bankrupt by betting on volleyball games.

But Allimoola has also contributed many players who've done wonders with the ball,

from the previous generation.

Wide Kannan,

'Dynamite' Thoma, 'Bomb' Mammad..

Kannan, one strong tea.. Shaken, not stirred.

Hey Mammad,

Don't you remember how we defeated the Customs team at Kuttiyadi in '85?

Of course!

This radio we won from that bet was the first star of this village!

Didn't we vanquish 'Fireworks' Pappachan & lndian team player Udayakumar,

by 5 sets, in that game?

When Kannettan played that wide trick,

they were destroyed!

As successors of those exciting times,

even the new generation has embraced the ballgame.

Who knows!

Allimoola might even contribute a Jimmy George in the future!

Hey, hold the net higher.

Don't move too much.

Hold him! This isn't going well.

Click fast man!

Don't think you can escape without paying me this time.

l'm telling you!

Gosh! No! No!

Who let go of him first?

- l was the only one holding or what? - That's why we fell down!

Let me see!

Did he get a photo of us falling?

- Give it to me. - Move!

l'll give you copies only if you pay me!

We can pay you anytime!

Yea right!! You always say that!

- Check this out! - Nice!

Last time you fooled me without paying me.

Phew! Enthralling!

Give me my money. Let me go.

Shut your mouth!

Didn't you go to school?

The festival is 4 days later, right? Why have you come today itself?.

l'll come to my house whenever l want to! What's your problem?

Rice is really expensive now, you see!

Mom!

l don't come here often because of his filthy talk!

He's going to appear forthe police test!

l'm waiting to be a policeman to get your husband arrested,

as part of 'Operation Kubera'.

May you lose thatjob!

Shut up! My son will become a policeman!

Shall l serve yesterday's fish curry & porridge?

You expect me to become a policeman by having this fish curry & porridge?

Hey, don't let mom go around announcing this to our neighbours.

lt's the physical test,

after that, there's an interview.

There are many such hurdles to get this job. Got it?

As if that's my only job. Get lost!

Brother-in-law, how come you're standing outside?

Go inside, hog all the food and take rest!

Before you get me arrested, return the money you took from me.

ls money more important? Or love?

No. lt's money!

Then you'll see me next in a uniform.

Should l pray for you?

Dear bro, please don't trouble me!

Please move.

- Brother, Dineshettan is here. - Don't worry. l'm leaving.

You took money?

Anish,

Whatever happens this time,

l'll clearthe test. l'm sure.

- God is seeing our sufferings, man! - Ours?

lf l become a policeman, who will you be?

- Who? - Policeman's friend!

Be confident!

- We needn't go inside. - Why?

- His mom will make tea. -At this last moment? No.

Hey. You're still hanging around here? lt's time to go!

This should get over, right?

Oh Lord, please bless our son Charles...

-Are you waiting to get blessed? - No. To get money for conveyance.

That you will have to get.

Come.

Son, have some tea.

l didn't need it.

Didn't l tell you earlier?. Now suffer!

Drink it, son.

- Here's your bag, son. - lt's still the same.

Aunty, here's the glass.

Money! Money!

Are you also going?

- Why? - Nothing.

Keep everything inside this.

Don't close it. Let me stuff this also inside.

Don't get my clothes wrinkled.

What is it?

We have to make a decision about this bag before going.

- l'll hold it inside the train. - Yea right!

You'll hold it inside the train!

Hey!

- Where are you guys going? - Palakkad. For the Police test.

- ls it today? - Yes.

-Are you going by train? - Yes.

Mate, l've never been on a train. Can you take me as well?

Okay!

Mate,

How does a train go backwards?

Dude, a train doesn't have a reverse gear.

So they can only do a long U-turn.

- That would take a lot of space, right? - Of course!

4 tickets to Palakkad. Where's your house?

Dude!

- Be decent. - What if she tells us?

Nice, right?

We're leaving!

Catch a seat fast.

Sit here.

Here's a window seat.

There'll be some nice breeze this side.

- Do you have place to sit? - l'm fine.

We'll just check if there are seats over there.

- We'll just come. - What to do.

Somewhere here...

Let's sit here.

Me! Me! l'll sit here.

Uncle will show you a trick!

Tickets?

- This is a general ticket. - Huh?

This is a general ticket. You'll be fined forthis.

Shall l take these shoes?

Will you give it to me?

- Come here. - We didn't know, Sir.

lf l write a receipt, it will be 250 per person and 1000 in total.

Oh Gosh!

- We don't have that much money, Sir. - Do one thing.

Just give me 100 for each ticket- that's 400. l'll let you go.

So that's 600 Rupees profit, right? Shall we give it?

Yes.

Here's another 200.

Oh gosh! Dear, our child's anklet is missing!

Missing?

Check again!

- lt must be there somewhere. - No.

Check under those shoes.

Come. Let's see.

- Did you like the train journey? - What a disaster!

- l was trying so hard to aim in the toilet.

Hey! Return it!

Return what?

Return that anklet you stole from the child's leg.

Anklet?

Well dressed thieves! Come here, you!

Who stole what? Don't say nonsense!

- Sir, this guy stole his child's anklet. - What's the problem?

l didn't steal anything, Sir. l just got down from the train.

-Are you sure it's him? - Yes sir.

Yes, yes! lt's him!

Sir, l haven't taken anything. You must be mistaken.

Sir, you can search. But you should find it. Or else..

- How many sovereigns was it? - Just one sovereign.

No one can be trusted.

Sir, there was another guy with him. There he is.

Err.. l..

Oh dear.

Why don't you understand? We just got down.

We haven't taken anything.

Chetta,

l got it!

Now what?

Okay. Problem solved. All of you can leave!

What got solved?

Sir, l can understand their situation.

But why did you have to do this cheap show off in between that?

What do you want now? Get lost!

Get lost? Who's responsible for us being humiliated here?

Should l fall on yourfeet for that? - That's not needed. Just say sorry.

Yea right! Get lost!

- Come here. - Leave me.

Don't get in trouble with policemen.

Come.

Don't get into unnecessary troubles in this unknown place.

Don't tell this to them.

Why are they taking so long?

Hey, don't tell them about the train's conductor catching us.

l'm not going to say that.

Come! Come!

Have some water.

Come.

- Here. - l don't want it.

Policemen aren't like earlier.

They're very decent now. Such nice behaviour.
