Natholi Oru Cheriya Meenalla (നത്തോലി ഒരു ചെറിയ മീനല്ല)

To become a king on earth do these children have luck?

That day Dronacharya took them to river side to test that

On the other side of the river there was a big tree

Dharma, what do you see?

The mist on the mountain range is touching the trees

The ripples in river are laughing

The seed of Yama is sure to absorb

Fat Bheema, what do you see there?

Smell of good elephant dung

Shit

Big eater

In future I'll not allow that Naushad and Lakshmi Nayar...

...to enter into the kitchen of the palace

What do you see Duriyodhan, the eldest of the 101

Unlike these fools I can see the parrot on top of the tree...

...on the other side of the river

Arjuna!

Phalguna! Partha!

Kireedi! What about you?

What can this Natholi see?

I can see a female parrot's eye

Kudos! Arjunan You are my eligible disciple

You were the only one having concentration on the target

Shekara, Natholi is not a small fish

'Natholi is not a small fish'

- Hey, Natholi! -Arjuna, what do you see?

Open your mouth and say something

Do say something

Due to boredom l'll die sitting here

After 5000 years on this river bankthere will be a flat...

...on behalf of National Builders

On the balcony ofthe 15th floor during such a noon time a female parrot...

...will come who will give me utmost madness and desperation

I can foresee her making me do slavery

But Dronar Sir! Dear, Father!

If you bless me whole heartedly...

In the name of Kariyila Kulangara Mother...

l'll tear off hertotally

Hey, Natholi! Hey, Natholi!

Hey, Natholi! Hey, Natholi!

Hey, Natholi! Give us the bird

'l'm Prem Krishnan alias Prem'

'My uncle could not say that otherwise she threatened to commit suicide...'

'Which Vishwambaran can stop the fate of me...'

'...from being born along with a super hit?‘

'Fellow citizens! Like you all, in an ordinary village...'

'...in an ordinary house l was brought up with extraordinary political environments'

'My grand father became a Gandhian...'

'...after continuously listening to the All India Radio'

'My father became communist only to act in dramas'

'My grand mother who took the vow as Gandhari'

'I started working there as an accountant and writer for a salary'

'At that time my life was miserable'

'...and my Mother lndia entered with a stern decision after my birth'

What is this smoke?

Son!

Stop there

'It was a bit too much of interference'

Dear, we are going today to see our own god of Kariyila Kulangara

If you start like this I can't do anything

If you don't take a decision on your matters

...you'll see your mother hanging from the tree in front of the house

Mother! Have you still not left that tree?

'It was that day, this car which I'm cleaning now, entered into my life'

- This is the new caretaker Preman - Namaste!

- Kumari! This is Preman - Namaste!

KUMARI

- This is the new caretaker - Hello!

LAKSHMI

Lakshmi, this is Preman

Om Shanthi!

This is the new caretaker, Preman

Namaste!

Salina! This is Preman He is the new caretaker

Captain Geethakrishnan was in some spy team in army

That is why in each nook and corner ofthe flat he has kept camera

That is what I think But...

Preman, security is my priority

Your eye must always be there in everywhere

Not only psychologically and physically

...but it was a part of a plan to break me monetarily also

He was a rogue

A bigger and 3rd rate rogue than the Kolapuli Appan

Get lost, you dog

My luck

As this monitor is here I need not see serials

Each day I can see a new programme Sponsored by different people ofthis flat

Fight! Infidelity

Love

They won't know at all that we are seeing it

When I get fresh Lakshmi aunty will call me

Son, get half pint liquor

When she sends me to get liquor one thing is sure

The drugs stock in her hand must have got over

Poorthing! Shantiettan could not become an Am rita TV himself

He always wears white and white

But at mid-night he'll call up the ambulance

Even if he gets gas in stomach for him it is heart attack

God! Careful

I'm leaving

Poor man

At least this time he should die

No chance

Morning he'll land up with 4 bottles of Gelusil in auto

You seem to be excited to see him as dead body, brother?

It is 3 years, son

I could not get a tip for even one burial

That Sky land, Metro, DD, BCG watchmen are so lucky

- Herethey lead life like in army - Is it Vellakaji beedi?

No! Do you want?

You smoke

That army guy won't come now

These people are not the ones who make problem

The lady in flat 15C is the real problem

These people are nothing in front of her

- She is the real trouble - Is she a bomb?

She is not a bomb She is dynamite

When you meet her you'll understand that

She is a tigress A double barrel tigress

'I didn't expect that what Vasu brother said will happen so soon'

'I didn't expect that what Vasu brother said will happen so soon'

'Prabha Thomas alias Prabha She reached me with a scream'

'Like she had reached the others'

'Like pouring a bottle of ink on a white paper sheet'

'Her voice fell inside me'

'She is an employee in a company...'

'...which runs adventure tourfor Indians and Foreigners in Wayanadu and Munaar’

'That is what Geethakrishnan had told me about her'
