Amar Akbar Anthony (അമര്‍ അക്ബര്‍ അന്തോണി)

'Migration of laborers from other states to Kerala'

'A thorough verification must be done before such people were employed...'

'...the city Police Commissioner announced emphatically'

'He suspects they may be involved in several crimes committed here'

Blasted rain!

Where can l leave her for a while?!

Stand here l'll be right back

Don't go anywhere, okay?

''Round like a coin 10 paisa in my eatery hot dosa''

''lf you want many come with money-''

Ouch! Would have burnt myself now

1 tea, bro

Sit down

Started again!

The minute they have an audience they begin showing off

Things are so expensive these days

- Hey you! - Yes?

- Speed! They are too fast - Yes! You bet!

Ouch!

What the hell?! Take it away, boy

What's wrong with these fellows?

Audacity, that's what it is

What are you gaping at? Move, man

What a performance! My eyes popped out

This is nothing

There's another chap who rides a Duke

My eyes popped out seeing his stunt

Hey! Go away, guys

Those crackpots are on their way here...scoot!

Scoundrel!

You'll learn only if you fall and break your legs

What did you say?

You would have been plastered on the road if l hadn't swerved

You dare curse me?

l won't get hurt with such curses

Do you know from when l've been revving?

This is not confidence lt's my arrogance

Oh God!

Mother!

l warned you many times

lf this is the way you behave l'll discharge you right away

You think you can misbehave just because it's a Govt hospital?

Fall and break you limbs somewhere Then come here to trouble us

What the heck are you doing? Don't you know this is a hospital?

l can't sleep because of the pain

And the mosquitoes sketch a pattern all over me

l smoked to chase the mosquitoes away

'Astrology'

Smoke in some places Ashes all over the place

What is happening to people?

Must be the fire inside that book causing the smoke

My job is to sell tickets illegally at the theatre

Don't try to pull a fast one on me

- Fraud Swamiji! - Get lost, mongrel

You have an injection

Not on your arm

On your buttocks Turn around

Lower my underwear, Sister

No need! Plenty of holes for the needle to go in

lt was a new one But l don't know...

...how it became hole-ridden so soon

My poor bum!

There are many patients in here

Next time you want to smoke, go outside

That was exactly why l called you

To help me

Call your wife to do it

Such a prude!

Hey! What happened to you?

You mean this?

l walked over a few people to get tickets for a Mohan Lal film

One wretched fellow moved away and my leg went for a toss

Hey nurse! Don't think l can't go without your help

This is not confidence This is my arrogance

Going by his arrogance both his legs must be broken

Be quiet, you dog!

Sister, we haven't as yet got our daily quota of egg and milk

Consider yourself lucky you got a bed here

Whatever we do, they never have a good word for us

What do you lack here?

We lack smiles

lf only the nurses here smiled half our illness will vanish into thin air

Help me! l fell down

That's what happens if you call a holy man a fraud

Can't you lie there quietly?

Look now! l had to come and help you

That's exactly why l fell down

What happened to you, son?

l fell from a bike

lt skid

Bhai, you fell from a bike?

Do you know who he is?

A well-known bike rider who takes part in races at Fort Kochi, Madras and Maradu

l find it hard to believe he fell from a bike

lt was no ordinary fall

Then?

lt's a long story

Doesn't matter Narrate it as a short story

Be quiet, man Anyway we've lost our sleep

Don't shorten it Go ahead, full throttle

Can l also listen to the story?

Why are you all still awake? lt's past midnight

There she starts again!

Don't mind her Just tell us the story, bhai

How can a mere fall from a bike be such a dramatic story?

This is not a story lt really happened

'This is our own Kochi'

Hey! Go away with your camera

You have spread enough stories about Kochi

Come out with something new, dude

Okay, then why not call it Ernakulum?

Kochi is not full of murderers and freaks like they show in films

Most people who live here are middle class like us

1st let me introduce my friends

Otherwise my story will come to a standstill

'Meet him A smart boy'

Lord! Only Rs 100

Please ensure she doesn't splurge and ruin my day

Where were you?

l was delayed at work

Today is my treat for your birthday

Let's go in here

We go here all the time

lt's your birthday We'll go to a special place

Where? Tell me, Anthony

l'll tell you as we go over there

Here?

Not this Somewhere much better

- There? - On top of this too

Come

Sir, what do you want?

2 coffee and 2 cutlets

Cut the cutlet Coffee will do

This is not a hotel lt's a furniture shop

How much does this table cost?

'Someone had abandoned him at a theater when he was a baby'

'Chakappan'chetan who had come to see the film 'Thalapathi'...'

'...took him home'

'Everyone called him Dhalapathy '

Sweetie pie!

'l'll introduce you to the next person'

'Meet him, he is the mischievous one'

Give me way, please

Which number to press?

9...8...4...6

Sounds like a mobile number

Move, brother

This won't move unless the button is pressed

- ls the doctor here? - He's on leave

Wish l was a doc-

Hey! Out to kill me?

Get in

What are you up to?

lt's over loaded now

You get out

You are not needed on the top floor

This won't go up unless l'm here

Some guys are perverts Even a poster is enough!

'Breast milk'

Only now it is stuck properly

Poor chap, dad He's handicapped

What did you say? l'm handicapped?

Get me married to your daughter

After 10 months she will be sitting there like her

Only my leg is affected, okay?

Doling out pity on me?!

Akbar

Out and out Leftist Only son of Stalin Mammali

'Red salute'

'lt's not his leftist views that makes him walk leaning left'

'He was afflicted by polio'

What happened?

Everyone has ups and downs in their lives

'He goes through it every day'

'Because he is a lift operator!'

- ls his fate sealed? - Not yet

lt will be, when he sees the hospital bill!

- Going to the mortuary? - No, 1st floor

All the same

'Now we'll get to know his parents'

- Mother - What?

Did you see my-

Hey! This is for your father Your black tea is in the kitchen

At this rate father will burst a muscle and die

God!

Will you please feed it to me?

'Meet my next friend'

'Smartest of the lot'

'Who does he think he is? Mega star in films, Prithviraj?'

'Pling!'

l thought you said all were middle class chaps?

Bhai, you are kidding, eh?

Let me finish, dude

Those are his aspirations

But what he actually drives is a superb vehicle

- Are you afraid of speed? - No

ls this what you drive?

Didn't you say you were a pilot?

When l get free time, l also-

Can you please park this airplane a little away so we can pass through?
