Kappalu Muthalali (കപ്പല് മുതലാളി)

'The netherworld'

The greatest scholar, his holiness

jack of all trades, the valiant, the warrior

Chitranguptan is arriving.

'Jack of all trades, the warrior!'

Were you trying to mock me? - Satan likes to be praised.

So, I thought maybe you.. - Don't repeat it.

As you wish.

Switch on the fan. - Okay.

No wonder it's not working!

Oh, God. Have a seat.

It's a mosquito coil.

'Anaparambil Bhoominathan.'

Let me see. I hope that all the souls have reached.

Don't be in a jiffy. Oh, God!

This is not the queue of a beverage shop.

Malayalis are always like this.

They've to fight with each other even to go to hell.

If you don't stand obediently, I won't let you in.

Is Anaparambil Bhoominathan's soul here?

He is standing over there. Let him in.

Straight into my chest!

I'm coming here for the first time. I need your blessings.

That's enough. The officer is right there.

He will listen to you. Let's go.

Come here.

Don't be scared. You're already dead. What more can happen?

Stand here.

Don't step down yet. Look over there.

Hello. - Anaparambil Bhoominathan. - Yes.

On October 26, 2009

you committed suicide at 7.10 p.m. by jumping

from the third floor of your workplace.

It wasn't a suicide. I just slipped and fell down.

No, it was a suicide.

A clear case of suicide!

You shouldn't lie in this court.

We will take your tongue out and feed it to the buffaloes.

Do you remember what all things you've done on earth? - No.

You have lied 3,25,00,517 times.

Also, you won many prizes for your so-called cinematic dance

by bribing the jury, after performing the worst impression

of the dances of Nayanthara, Namitha and Vijay.

I've only started, Dineshan.

It's Bhoominathan.. - Okay, Bhoominathan.

But you have done one good thing.

Just before your death.

Before jumping down from the third floor of the passport office

you urinated, didn't you?

Do you know where it fell?

It went into the mouth of a dog who was about to die

after being hit by the animal welfare department's van.

So in short, the dog who wished for water

before leaving the earth received your.. - Urine. - Yes!

Taking that act into consideration

I hereby order to take you to heaven.

You're the first entry into heaven in the last four years.

Aren't you happy?

Yes, I am. But..

What?

I need to meet Damodaran Nair before going to heaven.

Who is Damodaran Nair?

My father. He came here eight years back.

Damodaran Nair is indeed your father.

But I can't let you meet other souls, Dineshan.

Sorry, I mean Bhoominathan.

I don't care. I've to meet him at any cost.

If not? - I'll only leave after meeting him.

The crowd outside has increased.

The souls from Palestine and Afghanistan

have started fighting with the ones from Kannur

in the name of politics.

Why is it so important to meet him?

My father was an employee at the passport office.

He died due to illness just before his retirement.

You know everything. He had written two wills before his death.

One for my mother and one for me.

I'll tell you what he'd written to my mother.

He said that my mother won't have any difficulties after his death.

He also said that I would get a job in the passport office.

And if needed, to sell our 20 cents of land for my sister's marriage.

If that isn't enough, selling the shop would fetch us a good amount.

He also said that I would take care of everything.

And that we can lead a peaceful and happy life.

Such a good father!

Now listen to what he had written to me.

'Dear son, I'd to mortgage our land and bakery for an emergency.'

'Your mother and sisters shouldn't be notified of this.'

'They will curse me if they come to know about it.'

'After getting a job, no matter how hard you've to work'

'try to payback all the debts and regain our ownership.'

I can't understand why you are so adamant about meeting him.

There are many fathers here who've done worse than this.

Anyone there?

Take him to heaven. - Wait..

Listen to this too.

He had written that after securing a job

someone would come to meet me on the first of every month

and that I've to pay him half my salary.

Also, he said that I shouldn't ask him the reason for this.

Who is it? - Who's that?

See.. Everyone is eager to know who it is.

That is the case with me too.

I need to ask my father who that was.

He regularly comes on the first of every month

to take half of my pay.

He threatens me if I delay.

People used to make fun of me by calling me half salary guy.

I've to know the reason behind it.

What kind of a father he is! Anyone there?

I've told you many times not to stamp.

Even though this is netherworld

it's all rusted and requires maintenance.

Everything can fall down any moment.

If you die here, there is no other place left.

Take him to his father.

Damodaran Nair is here. - Thank you.

I'd be obliged to you till my death.

He forgot that he is already dead.

Oh, God! Please, don't push me. Oh, God!

Oh, God!

Fire.. Somebody help.

Somebody call the fire brigade! Oh, my God!

It's burning. Oh, God!

Your brother has started shouting seeing his usual dream.

Get up. - Please, help me! Come fast!

Call the fire brigade.

There's no need for the fire brigade.

This bucket would be enough.

Somebody help!

Let the fire extinguish.

As you see the same dream always, I could fill the bucket in advance.

Else, you would have burned in your dream.

Omanakuttan!

What did you do, Omanakuttan?

I have told you many times, not to trouble my son.

Is it a mistake to pour water over him

if he sees a dream of being burned?

Why do you care about him?

You're responsible for making him see the same dream again and again.

That's enough! You've extinguished the fire.

Now don't try to burn their hearts.

Let's go and sleep. - Leave me.

I've to make some decisions before going to sleep.

Nonsense!

Wait.

When I wrote a letter to a psychiatrist asking him

for the reason of seeing the same dream again and again

do you know what he replied?

He told that this is not a disease. It's illness.

Mental illness.

The doctor has asked to take him for a detailed check-up.

Nobody is mentally ill here.

Even if that's the case, you needn't worry about it.

I will interfere!

I'd married your sister on an agreement

made by Mr. Anaparambil Damodaran Nair

and my father, Mr. Achuthan Nair.

The agreement that your brother would marry

my sister as soon as he gets a job.

As Damodaran Nair passed away while still in service

your brother has been working there for the past eight years.

Your sister has already delivered four babies and is still expecting.

But my sister is still unmarried.

Just because he is not yet ready to get married.

Do you even know

where the other half of his salary goes every month?

No, you don't. Shouldn't we find it out?

Also, I'm not interested in making people accuse me

of marrying my sister to a mentally ill person.

So, we need to take him to a psychiatrist.

Don't think that you can escape so easily.

I am ready to consult any doctor of your choice.

Really? - Yes, the public shouldn't accuse me

of not listening to your nonsense.

I'm happy now.

Sleep..

Go into a deep sleep.

Didn't I tell you to sleep!

I've been swinging this for a while.

Doctor, please listen to me.

I'll go to sleep after that.

Please.

What I see in my dreams is the reality.

Like the mortgaging of our house and our bakery.

None of my family members is aware of this.

In between all this, they want me to marry.

I receive a meagre salary every month.

Above that, someone who isn't even related to me takes half of it.

I'm fed up of this life.

Now I have only one way in front of me.

To take VRS from my service. It will fetch me some money.

Then I'll take a loan and start a resort.

I have paid advance for a piece of land near Periyar.

I'd completed a course in travel and tourism.

Most of my friends are working as tour operators in Bangalore.

They've assured to send guests to my resort.

I need to start my resort within the next six months.

Once things start to fall in place

nobody would care about
