Oru Kadha Oru Nunakadha (ഒരു കഥ ഒരു നുണക്കഥ)

Good morning, sir. -Good morning.

Sir, I am starving to death.

I have been going for interviews for the past three years.

This is the seventh or eighth time that I am coming to meet you.

If you don't select me this time,

your company might lose

a smart and dedicated young man's service.

And I will lose my valuable life.

Yes.

Mr. K.P Appu Nair. -Yes, sir.

Oh God!

Excuse me. Thanks.

Hello.

Hello! Hello!

Excuse me, do you want a coin?

Thanks. -No mention.

Hello! It's me, Amminikkutty.

A person from our place has given me a package for you.

Yes.

It's in my hostel.

Send someone to get it.

Okay.

I am doing fine.

Shall I hang up?

Hello!

Yes. Is it Mr. Kurup?

It's me, Appu.

No, I am not calling from the office.

What's his name? Sadasivan.

Ask him to come tomorrow.

The other one? What's this, Mr. Kurup?

How can I get job for everyone who comes from the home town?

What?

What? Even if I have some contacts.

How can I misuse them?

Alright! Let me see.

Call me tomorrow morning.

Okay.

Sir.

What's this? -I don't have change.

Great!

Did you wait here to give me 50 paise?

We are Malayalis, right?

I got your name.

What do you do, Amminikkutty?

I work in a nearby sales office.

Okay. -What about you, sir?

Not sir. I am Appu. You can call me Appu.

Where is your native place?

Ottapalam. -Is it?

So, we are from the same place.

I am from Shoranur. -I see.

I work as a technical supervisor

in the industrial department.

Rickshaw.

Sorry, I am in a hurry. -Oh!

Hello, is it Mr. Panicker?

It's me, Appu.

I guess Babu had told you about me.

Sir, please get me that job somehow.

I don't have any other way.

Okay.

Okay.

Nuisance! -Were you sleeping?

Why don't you behave like a matured woman?

Here is your tea.

Come closer. -No.

Come on. Let me tell you a secret.

Even if you say it out loud, no one will hear you.

Won't you come? -No.

Then I am going to sleep.

Then tell me.

Nothing important.

It's nice to see you in the morning.

Sit down.

Sit here. -Let me go and check.

I said sit here.

Who is that?

It must be some beggars, go and see.

Why are you laughing?

Babu said it might be Appu.

Oh! Is it?

Come in.

Just like you said, Babu.

Okay, sit down.

Good morning.

There are a few qualities that a man should have.

One of them is common sense.

You don't have it. -Why?

Whenever I come here to sleep

after the night duty

you would come here.

Is that all?

Oh! It might be a silly thing for you.

I didn't mean that.

I don't have any interviews to attend today.

And I am in a mood to crack jokes.

So, I thought of entertaining you

with my jokes. That's all.

I will give you anything.

But please don't start with your poor jokes.

Oh!

You must be here because you have many works to do there, isn't it?

Where? -Mr. Chandran's house.

What work? -Cooking.

No, there is not much work there.

Why is that? Don't you cook there?

They do all the cooking.

Chandran and his wife never let me do any work.

But I heard that you cook well.

Who said so? -Well, I came to know about it.

Tell me the truth. Aren't you the cook in their house?

Hey! What are you saying?

Hey! Look at me.

I help them at times...

Just cutting the vegetables...

Can I have a tea? -I'll bring now.

Are you going sit here? -What?

Are you planning to sit here? -Yes, of course.

Did you call Mr. Panicker?

I called him once. But I didn't get him on line.

You must try a hundred times. The need is yours, right?

I will call him the evening.

You might not get him in the evening.

Do something.

Go for a walk, have a tea

call Mr. Panicker

and come back when it's time for lunch.

Okay?

Then I shall do something.

I will come back as soon as I make the call.

I will kill you...

Oh, my God!

What are you doing at this age?

The neighbours would laugh if they see this.

How can I tell them my wife is insane?

You are insane, not me.

I need to get slim.

What for?

Well, did you get any new proposals?

I need to move in the society.

Oh! That's right.

It's easy to move if you're slim.

I need to do some exercises.

Come on, Appu.

Why did you untie the net, Appu?

I need to meet someone urgently.

Today is a Sunday.

You should go to Kamala theatre

and get two tickets for the morning show.

We'll come later.

Chandran, aren't you getting ready?

Go and take a bath.

Hey, wait... -Two tickets, please.

Give me one ticket. Just one.

No, it's house full. -Give me one, sir.

Get lost...

Oh, my God!

It's closed. -What do we do now?

Tickets are all sold out.

Damn!

What a pity!

Hello.

Why are you here? -We came to watch a movie.

Oh! -But the tickets are sold out.

Do you want to watch the movie?

Isn't it house full?

It's sad if you return without watching the movie.

But the tickets are not available. -That's all right.

You need only two tickets, right? -Yes.

The owner of this theatre is my close friend.

Just a minute.

Who is he?

I met him at a telephone booth.

His name is Appu.

He is a reputed officer in the Industrial department.

Oh, is he? -Shut up!

Not only here

you can contact me if you need tickets

from any theatres in this city. -Oh, sure.

Well... -I am sorry.

I forgot to introduce her.

My name is Malathi.

I am a nurse at the City Hospital. -I see.

I work here... -I told her about you.

Do you stay together? -Yes. -Where?

In Alwarpet Women's Hostel.

Okay, aren't you going in? It's time.

The movie will start now. -Aren't you coming?

I have some other engagements. Okay?

Thank you!

Rickshaw.

Vyttila Pump.

You said you would come back soon and...

It was too crowded over there. Well, Mr. Jose.

This is my regular interview mate.

Appu Nair. Sit down.

When I see Appu Nair, I will get rid of the sadness

for not getting a job.

Appu Nair. This is Mr. Jose.
