Kerala Cafe (കേരള കഫെ)

I have 2 words for you to tell...

...who have come to watch Kerala Cafe.

Because I have seen this movie before you as a viewer.

You might wonder why 10 Directors are involved...

...in making a single movie.

...or if they are making 10 parts of a movie.

...or if it is made out of 10 stories.

Definitely it is 10 different stories.

...10 fragments of life or

...10 different times of the life.

...10 realizations!

It is woven in a thread and made as a beautiful movie.

It is made from one story to another.

...from there to another.

It is a travel through the stories.

We also will get involved in this movie.

It is a novel theme in the Malayalam film world.

You will enjoy it as a different experience.

I welcome you all to the Kerala Cafe.

The shore which sleeps adored with the moon light.

The shore where the feather of the rainbow fall.

Will I get another birth in this beautiful shore?

...another birth for me?

It is beautiful lyrics by Vayalar!

Will I get another birth in this beautiful shore?

That is the real poem... That is the poet!

Memories! This song brings back the memories!

The village where I was born... my house.

The first love... Very charming(Ramaniam)!

- What? -It is charming... the village nature has created.

Sheela! Come and sit here.

You have reached only at the first love!

Call me when my number comes! I'll come then!

Children are watching the TV! The things are not packed yet.

Tell me when you need the food. I'll get ready for you.

- When is the morning flight? - I have to report at eight!

The night before I go to my village I wouldn't get any sleep.

I promise on my mom!

It is a parole I get for a few days after being in the desert.

Suresh! Aren't we the prisoners?

The rich prisoners!

Being the prisoners in jail we get enough wealth.

When one day we get freedom...

...the pages in our life would have finished.

Here is your call.

Wait a minute...

- Johny! - What is it?

- Will you come tomorrow? - Yes I will.

Should I come to the airport?

I am on leave from tomorrow.

No. You can stay at home.

What about my matters?

Let me come there.

- Who was that? - Jose!

He is my old school mate.

We both were the disciples of Thomas master in mathematics!

Sir have taught me very well.

That's why I am able to earn a good living!

He was not able to earn it.

Now he is a bearer in a railway restaurant. Poor guy!

In fact he is a lucky guy.

...he has a house in his village.

The rain of there... and the wind...

...the river fish and the Chembavari rice.

...good toddy and the walk on the path.

It is heavy rain for 2 days without stop.

The road is in a very poor condition. That's why this block.

- Rain! There is no planning! - For the rain?

No for the rain. but for the people over here.

...and for the government.

Look at the road!

Most of the vehicles are to be condemned.

...and the auto rickshaws never seen any where.

They only shout for improvement.

How is it possible?

Sreenivasan! I have arrived.

Let it be tomorrow.

It can be in the house itself.

It is those builders.

It is about the house and ground. It is a good deal.

If the house is demolished, there will be enough ground to build 25 villas.

But there is a problem.

Mom and dad are to be convinced.

I wonder how it has to be...!

I have a flat of about 3000 sq. feet, car and A/C...

...and a lucrative job!

...but there is no peace of mind.

Dad and mom are alone in this large house.

I am about 15000 km far away.

How long will I be without sleep?

Ask her. Isn't it?

I was thinking!

Sally and her younger daughter only are there in Kozhancherry, right?

She was very happy when I told this to her.

Among dad's sisters' children...

...she is the only one who has the love for the family!

She didn't allow me to talk further.

She told me that she will take care of dad and mom.

Does it mean that she would come and stay here?

No that. You have to go there.

It will be helpful for her.

I would send the money for the expenses.

Why is it for? She has got enough money.

- People are around for any help is needed. - Keep quiet.

I will stamp you down.

Damn her comments.

They are about to build villas by demolishing the house.

Do you know anything about that?

Our house and ground are in his name!

If his plan is to build a resort or villa...

...that can be after our death. No need of that.

My son! Do a thing.

Let the villas soar up.

You don't bother Sally in Kozhancherry.

You don't take any risk. I've some plan for me.

There is a house and it could be of Mar Thoma people of Kottayam.

We get good food there.

People are there to take care.

There will be many people of our age.

We could spend time talking with them.

You mean home for the aged?

People tell different names.

Those people are like us only.

They too would have children and problems in life.

We can live there together exchanging our woes.

- What did he tell? - What could he tell?

He visualizes things very much before me.

Dad!

What can I do dad? You know it well.

I know everything dear.

We have no enmity or disregard for any one.

You don't have to get worried.

We are to be vacated from here which could understand.

But we don't understand why these are to be admitted in the convent.

There are justifications for Johny for everything.

What about the job I told you?

I have learned the computer to some extent.

I have driving license too.

You know it.

The house which was mortgaged for Moliyamma's treatment has not retrieved.

They will confiscate it if we didn't pay 3 lakhs.

I believe that you can do something about that.

I will give you the salary I get there for my job every month.

- I will pay you back my loan at the earliest. - Ok! I can take care of that.

Let us finish the matter of the house first.

I will take care of that later.

The builders will come tomorrow morning.

You have to be here then.

- He is our MD. Mr. Sreekumar Pillai. - We have talked over the phone.

- Take your sit! - How is there in Middle East?

Does it affect your business?

You can't tell no. But Dubai will survive.

- We get the support of other emirates! - The tourist sector is strong!

Take that check. We shouldn't waste his time.

Will you be in your home for long?

No. I am on a short trip.

Will you sign in this paper too?

Dad! There is a guest.

He is waiting at the gate.

His name is Thomas sir!

You go and meet him.

Tell him I am in a meeting.

Can I call him inside? He is a poor guy.

Do what I tell you.

Tell him I would come to his house.

His younger daughter's marriage is this month.

He has come for the fund. I can as well give him the money.

But I will deduct it from what I give you.

The girls at this age should live with their parents, right?

They are to get married later and settle down in another place.

Children are growing day by day.

I have no belief in our place.

You didn't say that you have no belief in the children.

Mother is looking for you. You too have to sign the papers! Go.

Didn't I tell you everything in the car when we came? Why do you cry now?

Dad and mom will come during the vacation.

We together will go to Holiday Inn!

You could as well fly to there some time.

Give me kiss on my cheek!

Sheela! We have two daughters!

I only have thought of their future.

I want to educate them well! Get them married in a high place.

That's why I am struggling to make money.

...not to take that with me, when I die.

Johny! Give me some time.

I want to cry alone.

Will you return tomorrow it self?

I want to...

Keep it with you.

My problems cannot be solved with this.

I want a job badly.

And I told you about my commitment! That 3 lakhs...

There is no time limit left.

- Do you have a bank account? - Yes.

- Give me the account number. - I don't remember that.

I can't keep in memory the numbers as before.

Shall I go home and get it?

Not now. You just have to call me and tell.

I will go there and send by RTCGS.

What is RTCGS...?
