'Christy'

What if we go some more, bro?

Let's go home, man!

This is just a simple task! Come on, man!

He got one! Got one!

I told you not to play with me!

Why do you take such sloshed kids out into the sea?

Next, it will be your intestines that will come out!

Forests and oceans are meant for the strong-minded.

You all...

Now don't throw up that strong mind of yours too...

With him like this, will our night gig work out ?

Get lost, dude!

Look at him lying there...

"Come! Come! You come to Poovar!"

"Become its companion..."

"Above the Neyyar waters get on a boat..."

"And try dipping the bait that is your heart deep under!"

You... You!!

"To explore the land..."

"To soak in all the greenery..."

"Come out of the cage that the city is,"

- Going. - Hey hey! Don't be late...

- Get in, you monkey! - Come off! Get in!

Ah bro! Let's go, go!

"Like a beautiful chilly marinated fish,"

To make this occasion even more special, we have with us...

The most famous dance troupe from Kerala...

Here's the gala show by Poor Boys!

- Poor boys? - Bro!

- What bro? Ready? - Not poor boys...

Poovar... poo... poo... flower! Poovar Boys!

Ah! Is that so! On this occasion now,

Gala show by Poor Boys!

Brother! What's your native?

Poovar.

Made us dance, delighted us,

Entertained us...

Towards Poor Boys...

On behalf of the festival,

We express our lovely gratitude!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

When did you reach yesterday? Eh?

Look, if your dad and mom come to know...

Tyre got punctured, Aunty...

Get up! Isn't there school!? Get up!

Stop it, Roy!

Your night disco and outings.

Hear me? Huh!

Who knows where he is going!

It's the rest of us losing sleep!

"Colourful flowers"

"Swim in the waters..."

"Morning sights"

"Weave magic in the eyes..."

"If the heart sinks,"

Hey! Coming!

"Looking for ways to spread love all sides"

- Dude, where's this from? - Uncle's bike!

"When the rain recedes, swiftly comes..."

"the sand banks gifting the joyous chills..."

"When the night arrives home with toddy..."

"to taste the delicious crab curry..."

"Come! Come! You come to Poovar!"

"Become its companion..."

"Above the Neyyar waters get on a boat..."

"And try dipping the bait that is your heart deep under!"

"To explore the land..."

"To soak in all the greenery..."

"Come out of the cage that the city is,"

"To nest upon the bosoms of the noble coast."

"There are all the gypsy birds..."

"Play ball in the sand watching the sea."

"Like a beautiful chilly marinated fish,"

"In the crimson red sky, the sun sinks..."

There is no peace, sister!

From the moment you set foot here, how do you keep saying this!

Ah! Mom, when did you come?

Where were you?

Where will I normally be?

At school?

Obviously at school!

Yet, that's exactly where I am coming from.

- Where were you? Tell me! - Hey! Hey!

All the time...

Him, right? His dad!

If he hears this... then I want to see you grin and stand.

Who am I telling this to! You know your brother's character.

When that Sister handed out that marklist...

I was like... yuck!

Lil honor to be upheld even at failure?

Next time, I shall fare honourably!

- This brat! - Oh lord! What's this!

Just because he is 2 inches taller, he flares!

Enough! Enough of your studies here... Pack your bags.

Sit in Neyyatinkara home and learn.

- Why won't you just calm down!? - No sis-in-law!

He was sent to stay here thinking, you don't have to be alone.

If I don't take him back at least now

You will have to bear the brunt of his father's wrath.

- You'll go alone only. I won't come. - You'll get from me!

Just wait! How can you drag him back now?

There is only 2 more months for the exam.

If the school is changed...

Yeah, exactly! Can't change school now. I am just settling in...

Settling in...my foot!

You!

Lissy!

Don't you go and tell Johny about this, got it?

What are you even saying?

Won't he know when he sees the marklist?

I have arranged all of that... That Joseph's daughter, right?

I have told her!

She is here now.

Hope he doesn't end up teaching her!

She is a smart one...

You do whatever...

I will not interfere in his matters from now on.

You just want me to go to tuition, right?

If you go, you will benefit!

Look at his attitude after all of this!

I lose sleep over him all the time!

Watch out while taking out the vehicle.

Hey Roy!

Your aunty told me everything.

She is inside. Come in!

Oh no! Milk is on the stove!

Didn't you get any other place to send me?

What happened?

That won't work, aunty.

She has some issue!

I will study on my own.

As if you were acing your studies on your own!

Did I pass 10th attending tuition?

I know how you passed your 10th.

Look! Just buck up and go to tuition.

Or leave right now, to Neyyatinkara...

I shall call up your father and inform him.

Oh Jesus, the Lord!

Through your invisible right hand

Lend us solutions to our debts

And freedom from sins

Our protector and lord, may you be praised!

Amen!

- One more... - Get lost!

Just move aside...

Come fast, might have begun.

- Told you to be early... - Hey you! You!

- Hey! - Let's go! Go go go!

This kid!

Put the stand first!

What's the use! The Father who is supposed to teach them is their friend!

Does the clergy have some issue with our Church?

Such an young Father has been sent?

Whatever it is, the prayer is nice.

Much better than the last one who stole the wood!

- Oh! I am not that sure. - He has a noble mind...

Hop on! Pedal it, fast!

Hey!

Hey Roy! Come if you want! We are going!

Let him come if he wants... you go!

Mom said you ran away after coming home?

That's... I!

Tomorrow starts school closes, right? You should come from tomorrow.

Hey!

What's my illness?

That... well...

Anyway, you carry on...

This is ok, right?

- Amazing! - Hey Roy!

Come here.

There's only a few more days left. Try to study and pass the exam.

It's only 'coz your mom begged, that you've been let to write exams, got it?

Hey Roy!

When we went with grandma to the Neyyatinkara Hospital, we saw your dad.

Since Johny was there, matters were easy and we could come back quickly...

It was a big help

What happened to grandma?

The usual...

Got old, right?

There she comes!

What happened, I wonder.

What happened?

He signed finally!

Since it's mutual, things will move without delay.

Her laddoo!

Here, aunty...

Laddoo of your divorce, right? I don't want!

Goddamn laddoos!

Hey, Roy!

Come!

Sit!

School's closed?

Ok! Take out your books.

What's that, Poovar Boys?

That... Friends...

Where's economics?

Economics... Here...

So...
