The first 200 lines.
Beloved children, I'll tell you a story.
It's a story of this flute.
May be, in the meadows or in the forests, it was born in a Bamboo bush.
Kissed by the dew drops & the gentle breeze,
Fondled by the warm sun rays.
Searching for the melody of the unsung songs,
One day, it's heart throb gave birth to the finest music on the earth.
That was the music from this flute.
You didn't tell me the destination.
If you go straight, you'll reach the market.
I'm going there.
If you want to go by this way, you've to get down here.
We will get down here.
For how many days will you be in this place?
It depends. We'll run the show in the crowded places.
Then, we'll move to a different place.
Take it. Have it with you.
When I carry load, I charge for to and fro.
Even otherwise, I would've come alone. Atleast you gave me company.
Kunjappi doesn't want you to pay for that.
In all the green meadows where beautiful flowers bloom,
Below the trees under the blue skies.
Till the time, this piece of bamboo breaks,
Till the time, the flow of music stops,
This sound will save all the living creatures,
Like the sound of the Almighty.
This is the sound from that flute.
What do you feel about our new palace?
For the time being, we'll stay here.
One day, we'll build a real big palace. - And we'll stay there.
Three of you should quarrel & break the bangles today itself, okay?
If you buy for us tomorrow also, then, we'll break.
Look at her wish.
2kg Rice, 1 kg Sugar, 100g Dhal, 100g Grams, 100g Chilly, 100g Coriander seed.
Coconut oil 100g, Tea 100g, 1 bundle Pappad & Salt 2kg.
Is there Dried Fish?
Everything is there. If you ask all together, how will I pack?
There is only one hand.
Then, Have you kept your other hand for sale?
Brother, won't you buy anything for me?
What do you want?
Those Sweet Peanut balls.
Manikutta, sing after dinner. Rice'll not get cooked, if you sing.
But you flew away from me, Sweet little Bird.
Sit quietly.
Brother,
You're really a pretty girl.
Oh Good Gods who reside in heaven, save us always at anytime & everywhere.
We will eat.
Don't talk while having the food.
Praise the Lord. - Praise the Lord always.
Are you a Christian? - Yes.
Then, how come you can be so arrogant? - Arrogance?
Do you know to whom this land belongs to? It is Church's property.
Till that point, it is the property of the Church - Is it?
What? Do you think you can erect a tent without anyone's consent?
Is this not an act of arrogance? - I did this unknowingly...
Now, you've come to know, isn't it? Then, do one thing.
Remove this tent and vacate the place immediately.
But father, for 4-5 days, we need shelter from sun and rain.
But you can't erect it here. Come here. Do you see that boundary?
You can build a tent or a place there. None'll question you.
Not only for 5 days, you can stay there permanently. That's Government's Land.
But father, whether the land is owned by the Govt. Or the Church,
If we use it without their permission, that's... - That's?
That's the act of arrogance, isn't it?
Are you teaching me?
No. Not at all. - Don't teach me. Just obey.
Jesus... My car...
Oh, what a naughty children! They've ruined my car.
Where did you get these brats from? - They're my children, Father.
Your children? - Yes, my children.
What is your name? - Ebi Abraham.
I am not bothered Whether you're Ebi or Abraham.
After sometime, I'll come this way.
I shouldn't find this tent, you & those children here.
If I still see you here, then you'll get it.
Move away...
What're you looking at? You and your army, push the car.
Come...
Oh Great people of this town, our next item is magic trick to thrill you all.
People have an opinion, that magic is fraud.
But we'll prove that there's a science behind this art.
This is a hat. What is this? - A Hat.
Yes, a hat. It's empty inside. How is inside? - Empty.
Yes, empty. Can we bring a dove from this hat? - Yes we can.
We can. I'm going to bring out a dove from this empty hat.
Here comes the dove... come... come... yes, come on fast. Here is the dove!
Next item...
The hat is going to present you with a white bunny rabbit.
What rabbit? - A bunny rabbit.
All of you clap your hands.
Clap your hands again. Here... here is the rabbit.
Oh God, it is a dove.
Ouch! It is a dove again.
Yes. Dove again. Symbol of Peace.
Can a bunny rabbit become a dove?
Can a dove become a rabbit? If it doesn't happen, then it's fraud.
If it does, then it's magic.
This is the magic. It's a Science. It's an art. All of you clap.
The next item is a trick which none of you've seen before.
If we perform magic like this, We'll be stoned.
Chandru, you had put me to disgrace.
But that was the rabbit's mistake and not mine.
That's because we're not proficient with these tricks.
We somehow managed today.
We will have to find something else for tomorrow.
Take out your finger.
Ebi... Ebi... Ebi... Ebi... - Silence. Don't talk.
I find that you're a smart man with many tricks.
Your magic. Though you were fooling the people, I liked your presentation.
You understood that I was fooling people?
Yes... yes...
How do you identify it so quickly?
No. Don't try to fool me also. You'll not play tricks on me.
Sorry father. We do this for our daily bread.
Knowing that only, I didn't catch you red handed.
Even I'm interested in magic.
As you rightly said, it's a science & an art. But if you fool people like this.
Keep quiet.
Did you remove your tent from Church's Land?
Yes. I did.
Move away. - Move... move...
Come. Let's go - Are you people going?
Push it hard. Push it hard. Pastor's car, push it hard.
Wait... wait...
Come... come...
Move... move from the way.
Get in. Get inside the car.
These kids... I wanted to ask you when I saw you the first time.
How did they come to you or How did you get them?
I got them from streets. Abandoned by parents, longing for love,
None wanted them. So they were destined to live in the dirty streets.
They're Orphans.
Many years back, I was also one among them.
My childhood days... Those are the days of curse.
That man was nobody to me.
I was not born as an orphan.
In some distant land, in some house where there had been love & happiness,
My parents might be still crying over their lost son.
He stole me when I was playing in the courtyard, when I was very young.
I don't remember. But I heard him telling this to somebody.
What I knew, was the miserable life in the streets, that cruel man,
And the painful bashes of his whip.
Take that cane and play it.
Play it.
Idiot. I'll kill you.
Oh God, don't beat me. Please don't beat me, please.
Like an angel, I found a great man sitting infront of me. He felt pity on me.
That great man became my Saviour.
The treasure of love that I lost at my young age, I got it back from him.
He didn't have anybody to love or to be loved.
Many years ago, he had a misunderstanding with his wife and was living alone.
In his Ionely life, he got a little lamp spreading rays of hope. That was me.
He called me son. From that day onwards, I became his Ebikuttan.
I don't know when I was born.
But the day on which he picked me up from the street, became my birthday.
We celebrate that day, every year with ecstasy.
College life is full of joyful days.
One day in the Hostel, it was an unexpected news. The death of my daddy.
All my dreams and hopes got shattered.
My daddy's wife, who quarrelled & left him alone years ago, came back weeping,
And wailing on the day my daddy died. Her 2 brothers also came with her.
Then, they didn't go back.
Daddy's torment was his wife who never loved & understood him.
But she loved only his money.
One by one, they brought the properties under their possession.
The adopted son of Thomas Abraham became nobody in that house.
Who asked you to remove this photo?
Who're you to ask that?
This is daddy's room. You can't do here whatever you like.
Is it so? Then, today onwards it is my room.
I'll not let you spoil this room. You go.
I'll not. Who're you to rule me? This is my brother-in-law's house.
I'll do whatever I want.
This is not the place for a beggar to rule.
He will do whatever he wants. You get out from here.
I tried to console myself that the luxuries I enjoyed so far was just a dream.
Without nothing in life & unwanted by anybody,
I again became all alone in this world.
Go, You little thief. How do they start stealing at this young age?
We shouldn't forgive these brats. Today he stole a bun.
Tomorrow he'll even steal money.
Why do you beat him? He is a small boy.
Don't interfere in my job. I'll take care of him.
Is there fish? - Yes.
One fish fry. Is gravy available? - Gravy is there.
One plate Gravy & double Omelette.
What is there to drink? - Coffee or Tea?
Don't you've Horlicks? - Yes Horlicks is there.
But I don't want that. Give me 2 Bournvitas.
Rs.37.50. It's very cheap - Yes... Yes...
How much did it come up to? - Rs.38.
I don't have money. - Why is it so?
No money. - How come if you don't have money?
I don't have money. Even if I've, I'm not willing to pay.
What? Are you not willing to pay? - Yes, call your police. Call them.
I've seen you earlier. Have I not? - Yes.
Where was it? Tell me, idiot.
Speak decently. - Okay, I'll be polite to you, Sir.
